Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for what's trending. Now. President Donald Trump, he
really likes to redecorate, and he's added some new things
to the White House, of course, and he has installed
a Presidential Walk of Fame. So it has portraits of
former presidents like Barack Obama. Now it has Joe Biden.
But they didn't even put an actual portrait of Joe

(00:22):
Biden in this Presidential Walk of Fame. They used an
auto pin for Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan. Now, if
you see the plaques, if you've ever been to a
museum or anything like that, plaques usually have like a
few words about the person or the exhibit that they're
speaking of or describing. Well, there were these long posts

(00:44):
it looked like a truth social post actually, which were
written by President Donald Trump himself. Well, it had just
crazy language in there, like Obama's Black identified him as
the first black president, and of course they used Barack
Hussein Obama and also called him one of the most

(01:05):
divisive political figures in American history. And Biden's Black, well,
it goes even further and labels him by far, the
worst president in American history and called him names like
sleepy and crooked, and they said that Biden was controlled
by radical left handlers. Now, usually when you have something

(01:25):
on display in the White House, it's usually void of
any political you know, party affiliation or anything like that.
But yeah, of course he cannot help but make it
about him. And also he had a speech last night
and he said that he was going to send a
bonus check to the US troops for Christmas, one seven

(01:48):
and seventy six dollars bonus check and that's going to
go to one point four or five military million military
service members that are going to get this warrior dividend
before Christmas. He said, the checks are already in the mail.
But he's trying to repair what is a biz abysmal
ratings out here in the world because he's saying that

(02:11):
eleven months ago, I inherited a mess and I'm fixing it.
He's saying that Biden gave him this administration in such
a mess. And he also brought some charts to show
that the economy is on an upward trajectory. He said,
it's one of the hottest countries in the world. So
I don't know if your pockets reflect that, mind don't,

(02:32):
but I guess that's where he is living, all his
friends are doing well. Now, Snap benefits, Well, if you
receive SNAP benefits well in twenty twenty six, well you
might face stricter limits on what foods and drinks that
you can buy with those monthly benefits. Now, the US
Department of Agriculture has approved a growing number of state

(02:55):
level food restriction waivers that says that you can't use
the SNAP benefits for non nutritious items such as soda, candy,
energy drinks, sweetened beverages, or certain processed desserts. And this
is going to roll out. The band is going to
roll out throughout the year in individual states, and so
eighteen states have already been approved to restrict these SNAP

(03:20):
benefits and so we will see how that goes. I
don't know how this is. They're saying they want to
make America healthy again, which is an initiative that Robert Kennedy,
Robert F. Kennedy is spearheading. But do you remember when
Michelle Obama tried to do healthy thing and they were

(03:40):
so mad at her for trying to make people eat healthy.
So this is where we're at now. The basketball player,
the American basketball player Jared Shaw, who was facing the
death penalty over in Indonesia because he had those marijuana gummies.
Well now it seems that he's only going to be
sentenced to twenty six months in prison. Now. He had

(04:02):
some help by Jared Shaw, who is a big advocate
for cannabis and things. He went on over there and
advocated for Jared Shaw, and I'm sorry Dante West was
the advocate for Jared Shaw. So now he won't be
facing the death penalty, thank goodness. And now they're just

(04:23):
trying to get him home. He said he only had
the marijuana, not for trafficking or anything like that, which
is what they were initially trying to pin on him.
He said it was because he battles Crohn's disease and
he needed to manage his illness. So I guess it
worked out and luckily he will be coming home now.
The Diddy lawsuit that mentioned Drewski and Odell Beckham Junior

(04:45):
has now been dismissed by the judge. Now, this was
a lawsuit that was filed in October of twenty twenty
four by a woman by the name of Ashley Parham,
and she alleged that she was sexually assaulted by three
men at a party in twenty eighteen in California, and
so the judge ruled on Wednesday that the case couldn't proceed.

(05:05):
They said none of the defendants were properly served with
a lawsuit, and they said the plaintiff failed to secure
new legal representation after her attorney withdrew from the case.
So they threw out the case entirely. But you know,
Odell Beckham and Drewski have always maintained their innocence in
that whole situation. And lastly, a woman in San Francisco.

(05:29):
She was drunk out a restaurant and I don't know
what hype this lady up, but she was fighting with
the patron. She was drunk as a skunker and her
boyfriend and as they're fighting, she is pulling this man's
hair of one of the men who worked at the restaurant,
and she's fighting. She wouldn't let go of this man's hair.
They're fighting all the way outside, and then you see

(05:53):
her going after this guy again and somebody tripped her
and she fell on her face. Some instant karma. Now
woman's name is sharene Afkari, and she really made a
mess of the whole situation. She was arrested on Saturday
for public intoxication and to make things worse, she was
fired from her job at Strava, which is a fitness app.

(06:15):
And of course they said, we don't condone violence or
anything like that. So if you're partying, if you're celebrating
for the holidays, just remember ay, you gotta live fast
that moment, you gotta make it into the new year.
And nobody has time to be losing jobs, all right,
