Hey, y'all. Kelly Clarkson here with Wayfair. I know holiday magic starts at home, so I tend to go a little overboard. The twinkling lights, the trees, the cozy blankets. But the thing I love even more than decorating is having everyone over and knowing my home is ready with Wayfair. It's easier than ever to make holiday magic at home.

Hey, everybody, welcome to the Weekly Roundup. Maybe you missed a few episodes or you want to relive the week's best highlights. We've got it all lined up right here. If you want to support independent media, keep the show viewer funded. Join us at Join Pakman Dotcom. The president of the United States just named two American cities and said, let him take out Los Angeles, let him take out San Diego. It is a very small price to pay.
He's talking about Iran. There are 16 million people living in the LA and San Diego metro areas. And here is Trump going, let him take out those cities. A president of the United States, one of the most disgusting clips I have covered in my entire podcasting and media production career.
Donald Trump (2:14)
I want to see a tremendous victory. You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the word just artificial, it's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let him take, let let him take out Los Angeles. Let him take out San Diego.
That's this is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over with her. So it's essentially.
David Pakman (2:41)
Listen to the cheering. Let him take out Los Angeles and let him take out San Diego. American cities, Trump goes to another rally.
This one's in San Antonio, Texas. He's had two days to see the backlash to the San Diego LA comment. He's had two days to hear his White House explaining. There's no context there. Here's what he really meant. And the same thing comes up again.
And now it definitely seems like it's what Trump meant. Take a look.
Donald Trump (3:10)
But you want to see trauma. You want to see problems. And I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. Let them hit. You want to see a horror show. You want to see problems. Let them hit San Diego.
Let them hit Los Angeles. And you want to see some bad things happen. You want to see a country that would be in free fall. We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect our country. We're not.
David Pakman (3:36)
So what do I think Trump is doing here? I think Trump is trying to rewrite the line from Monday.
But he's struggling to do it in a way that feels authentic or genuine. Complete and total chaos at a Trump rally in San Antonio. Seven or eight interruptions from protests and hecklers. Trump soaking wet and swollen, claiming that his own wife, Melania, calls him sir. And this is not the first time that he has claimed this. Here is Trump saying, My wife said to me, sir, do me a favor.
Does Trump really make Melania call him sir? Because this is like the third or fourth time he said this is how she refers to him.
Donald Trump (4:17)
And his mom voted for Trump.
So this terrible fake is a fake. He said all of a sudden, he's a vegan. You know, my wife told me, sir.
