Welcome, everybody. We have pulled together the most important stories and viral moments from the show this week. If you want to keep this thing growing and get access to ad free main episodes and daily bonus content, check out joinpakman.com. Senator John Ossoff, who is very good at this, just delivered a brutal and personal attack against Donald Trump. He brought up Natalie Harp, his potential new love interest. He said, why have we been lied into yet another war? What John Ossoff did at a speech is he sort of used Donald Trump's strange relationship with Natalie Harp to make a broader argument. And the argument is about war and it's about sacrifice. And it points out that Donald Trump is a president whose most important interest is just enjoying power. He doesn't want to do the job. He wants to have people cheer for him and play that proud to be an American every time he walks into a room, but he doesn't really want to govern.

**John Ossoff** (2:25)
While he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings.
He golfs and trade stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.

**David Pakman** (2:52)
Listen, Ossoff knows exactly what he is doing with this whole travel with Natalie thing. A reporter asks Trump about what Senator John Ossoff said. Ossoff said Trump would rather travel with Natalie Harp and build a ballroom rather than do his job as president. And Trump does not address the substance of what was said about him and Natalie Harp. This is an insane answer. If something weird isn't happening with Natalie Harp. Look at this.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:23)
You'd rather travel with your aid, Natalie Harp and build the ballroom and do your job as president.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:27)
What is your response? John Ossoff.

**Donald Trump** (3:30)
You mean Peewee Herman?
Peewee Herman look alike?
No, I would much rather do other things. It's a we're building a great facility here. We're fixing a White House that hasn't been taken care of. You can look at this. This room was a disgraceful situation. The Oval Office and it was it was let go of the whole building. The White House was let go. The exteriors were falling apart. The columns were falling apart. The whole place was a mess. In addition, they've been trying to get a ballroom for the last hundred and fifty years. And when I said I was going to build a ballroom, the military asked if they could see me.

**David Pakman** (4:05)
Remember, the question was about Natalie Harp.
And here he is going after CNN reporter Kristen Holmes. Quiet. You're very disrespectful in front of this young man.

**Donald Trump** (4:15)
Obama, he didn't like anybody, but I get along with him very well. Know what I'm doing is making things safer. Just the obvious.
Quiet, quiet. You're very disrespectful in front of this young man. OK, don't you find her disrespectful? He understands. Quiet. Who are you with?
Fake news. You're fake news. You're a loud, you're a loud, boisterous person. You're fake news. Be quiet. Be quiet.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:46)
Be quiet.

**Donald Trump** (4:48)
You're a fake reporter and you report fake news. Go ahead.

Darline Graham, the senator representing South Carolina. Now she is running to actually be elected to be the full time, not just interim senator from South Carolina. She participated in a debate just hours ago and completely crashed and burned. One of the most embarrassing moments to come out of South Carolina since Miss South Carolina gave that viral answer. It's like a car crash that you can't look away from. Darline Graham was asked, are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security threats to the United States? And she goes, I don't know anything about national security, but I do support the troops.
