Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 You guys are not going to believe this little gem I found on the worldwide web last night. If anybody tells me it's AI, I'm gonna get in the fetal position and cry. Play the clip.

0:11 Dome and Steven Miller are liars. Any administration that allows them to continue in office is rotten to its core. The vote on appropriations is coming up Thursday night and Democrats will not let the Republicans move forward if ICE and DHS funding are in the bill. Did he start? I mean, Christine Gnome and Steven Miller are liars. Chuckles, I knew. I mean, come on. Let's [ __ ] go. And here's the thing. You better You're talking the talk right now, Chuckles. then you better walk the walk cuz I take no pleasure in having to do episodes about an impotent opposition and we're all here now and you've seen Americans get killed in the street and I want to say first of all welcome to the resistance and number two keep this energy all day every day because I want to see you succeed in resisting this regime. I want to see you do what Mitch McConnell did to Barack Obama's presidency. I want you all day, every

1:16 day, fbomb this, f you that. Just browbeating the [ __ ] out of them and resisting at every single turn and letting them know. Yeah, we may share some of the same donors, but guess what? [ __ ] you to the donors, too. And I'll get my whole party to boycott your products if you try to play this game with me. If we can have a government of the people, by the people, for the people, I'm for this. I'm caut cautiously optimistic. Chuckles based on the strongly worded letters,

1:50 a lot of other things. A lot of other things that I've witnessed. Um, you know, but if you're ready to fight and you do this all day, every day, what I say to far-left progressive Democrats is beggars can't be choosers. And if he chooses to stand up and start fighting right now and isn't duplicitous about it and isn't morally ambiguous about it and really goes full tilt, then let's support the fight. It doesn't mean you support the politician. And so there's going to be primaries and all that stuff at a later date. But if they start fighting, if Hakee and Chuckle start fighting all day, every day, and put up a robust, very defined resistance, I'm the biggest cheerleader of it. No, I agree. But I saw this and I thought it was AI because I thought there's no way he's coming out this strongly. And so, am I hopeful that he will whip his votes and bring Republicans over to vote against the appropriations bill? Yes, I'm hopeful.

2:53 Am I doubtful? Very doubtful. I I just I'm not a believer yet, but I'm like you. If if this is if this is how he feels and this is how he's fighting, I'll be a cheerleader, but I just I'm not there yet. He's done these FU videos before. This isn't the first one. I saw one, I don't know, a few months ago. And so I I hope it's not performative. I'm going to perform for the base a little bit here and show them that I can be a tough guy. then I'm going to go, you know, uh, hug little Marco on camera.

3:28 Um, I hope it's not that. It probably is, but I just wanted to have one little moment where I felt like there was a Senate minority leader that was as diabolical as Mitch McConnell in opposing like Mitch McConnell opposed Barack Obama. We're opposing literal Nazi fascists. And so I would think that Chuckle Schumer would have a vested interest in understanding the historical nature of what they're doing with these masked agents and denying people due process and indiscriminately killing people in the streets and depriving them of their First Amendment rights via execution.

4:07 I would hope that some bells would go off Yeah. in his mind and that he would uh be serious about it. So, I wish you the best and welcome to the resistance if you stay here. If you don't, we're coming. I mean, it's going to be all day. I'm going to go live for 24 hours probating. What a [ __ ] you are. That's what I'm going to do. Next up, we have the oligarchs are working overtime to stay in favor with the regime. Pick this up. When Trump's billionaire allies control the social media platforms you use, you only see what Trump's wants you to see.

4:42 Mel Melanie Daggio goes on to say this is how authoritarians control the narratives. A headline from Wired, Meta is blocking links to ICE list on Facebook, Instagram, and threads. Users of Meta's social media platforms can no longer share links to ICE list. A website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of uh DHS workers. And then moving along, uh, the Independent Tik Tok blocks Epstein mentions and anti-Trump videos. Users claim alleged censorship comes after investors loyal to Trump take over social media platform. So, these oligarchs are going to work overtime to be uh obsequious to the diabolical aims of this administration and to add propaganda because they don't want accountability either. At the at the core of all of this, besides the fascism and the racism and all of this, are entitled men that bismerch accountability.

5:47 And so Jeff Bezos, I just had a a article. He is firing I think 16,000 people from Amazon and Amazon has record profits. I think he's made something like over hundred billion dollars just this calendar year for kissing up to Trump and he's firing 16,000 American workers. And so these people don't like you. And if you remember when I had Professor Ruth Ben Gillot, she said even the administration has disdain for the public. And so these oligarchs and how beholden we've become on them is so gross to me. I'm hoping that there's some new social media websites that can can take uh can take off so that we can all still see each other's clips and communicate and form community. How great would it be to leave all Tik Tok, our our our podcast has left Twitter because the doxing is so bad on that and um Instagram. How great would that be? And and hundreds of millions of people did it. I would love it. But you know, it

6:55 just reminds me I actively on a daily basis have massive disdain for Jeff Bezos. Like I see every time I see an Amazon package and and I order like I'm guilty. But I let Mark Zuckerberg Mark Zuckerberg off the hook. His little neutered. He what a total [ __ ] prick. It tells me all of these billionaires, they're in on this because they could just let nature take its course with how these things are unfolding, but they're actively blocking it. So that tells me they don't value human life. They're so rich they don't give a [ __ ] about people. And it's disgusting. And it makes me feel dirty and feel like I need a shower every time I order Amazon, every time I post on social media. I mean, these billionaires are just terrible people.

7:47 Yeah, they are. All right, moving along. Um, first I want to play this video for you. Here's Trump on guns.

7:56 That being said, you know, walk. He says, "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns." And my guy Kyle Kolinsky posts the following to this video. If Obama had said this, Alex Jones would have gone live for 12 hours with a beat red face and a fat jiggling rampage about tyranny and total totalitarianism. And this is the [ __ ] truth. These people believe in nothing. They believe in nothing. These people love their guns.

8:32 Yeah. But when a liberal has guns, then it's like, "Oh, people shouldn't have guns. Oh, we forgot about Kyle Writtenhouse." They don't give a [ __ ] about little kids dying. They just their whole entire identity is disagreeing with open-minded people with whom they are jealous, with whom live a more self-actualized life. These emotionally stunted goons are the worst of us. Why do you think evangelical Christianity is so easily co-opted by the KKK, by the NRA, now by MAGA? Because they're emotionally stunted idiots. These people are emotionally stunted and they have no conviction, no core value. They believe in nothing. We're tearing the whole country down for people who literally believe in nothing. I agree with everything you said. My takeaway when I saw this is the reason that pe people don't take Donald Trump seriously. They don't take anything he says seriously because he just has a flight of ideas.

9:43 Yak yak yak yak. He means nothing. He you have whiplash. He says this. He does that. But I think it's such an important point that the leader of the United States is so unserious and is such a caricature of a human being that the NRA and all the MAGA people aren't just up in arms. that Fox News didn't shut down and have to go on life support over this because they're going along with it,

10:10 right? Inherently, he's not serious. They know he's not going to do this. They know he's beholden to the gun lobby and all the gun nuts that are MAGA. So, he is just projecting what a weak piece of [ __ ] he is.

10:22 But I'm sorry. I think you miss you misunderstand me. His allies are going along with this. They're paring it. talking about people not having guns. That it's not just he said this. It it these that's my whole point. These people believe in nothing. It's been echoed. It's been parited. It's a hive mind of idiocy. I mean, I think the the NRA might have come out and said, you know, guns should be everywhere. But even a lot of these people are like, this guy didn't have his ID on him, therefore he wasn't carrying legally and Trump's right. And I mean, all of his little sickop fans have gone along with this. They've pared it. He didn't just say that and walk away. And then here he is basically telling the NRA to suck it.

11:08 Play the clip. That's bad. Can you tell? Is there one number that's bad? There's not one.

11:12 Do you do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Py is a domestic terrorist or an assassin?

11:18 Well, I haven't heard that, but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. But all of Hey, look, bottom line, everybody in this room,

11:25 this guy who I mean, like at all their rallies, the Nazi rallies and all the white nationalist [ __ ] they have, everybody's got a gun. This is the political party where they take um Christmas card photos with their guns. I've never thought I mean, Trump's a New York City guy. Gun laws are strict up here. You know, I think his gun his kids, his sons, Dumb and Dumber are little sociopaths that like to go kill animals and and they're kind of gun nuts, but I don't think he is. And it's just interesting that how easily when somebody has a gun that they disagree with, then it's like, "Oh, people shouldn't have guns in public."

12:03 This is the [ __ ] party that wants to arm teachers, right? This political party wants school teachers. And I remember one of my teachers, my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Schiffan. Mrs. Shiffle Bean was 4 foot 11 and crazier than a [ __ ] house rat. She should have never ever ever had a gun. She didn't. But if MAGA had their way, school teachers would have guns. But they're upset because a real alpha male had a gun and he had it legally. And they took his gun away from him after they beat him up while he was trying to protect a woman. a woman and then they executed him. 10 bullets in the back and then witnesses said they went over and counted the bullet holes.

12:53 Didn't check for a pulse. They went over and counted the bullet holes. Okay guys, there has just become something that I absolutely cannot live without and it is my Honey Love crossover contour bra. I know it's weird to talk about bras, but ladies, you know, every day you get up and it's a struggle.

14:12 Experience the new standard in comfort and support with Honey Love. And lastly, I just think this is really interesting for all of the national security Republicans, which I don't know if there are any left anymore, but pop this up. So Trump hangs a pic of he and Putin in a White House vestibule. So there it is. That is like this will go down in history as the moment that he completely said here here is all of the power of the United States of America to a weak failed state. Russia is a failed state. And just handed it over to Vladimir Putin. Um, and he's so proud of that. He has it framed and he stuck it in the vestibule. And you, when you think about the his history of the Republican party and, you know, I'm a national security voter and you think about Ronald Reagan and you think about, you know, all these hyped up patriots that, you know, sing the national anthem at sporting events and they support the

15:21 troops and all this [ __ ] And that's the moment where he had the troops get on their hands and knees for a war criminal roll out the carpet for him while he sat there and clapped like a seal and he puts that up. Like that's what he's real proud proud of like being Putin's puppet. Well, here's the thing. I would think that whole Alaska summit like if he was I dare say, you know, normal, he would be humiliated that that even happened. like he would want no reminders of how he got on his knees and was shook by whatever Putin told him that his aids were shook by Putin. Like, but he thinks they're friends. He thinks that Putin thinks they're equals. He hasn't figured out that Putin thinks he is the biggest [ __ ] of all times. And he proved it because he got on his knees for him in Alaska. And now he puts that in the [ __ ] White House. The national security Republicans. I am old enough to remember when it was the USSR bad bad

16:24 bad Russia bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad murderous dictator bad bad bad and now you're memorializing the most embarrassing the worst one of the worst days in American foreign policy is when you rolled out the red carpet for a murderous dictator like what the [ __ ] remember he also rolls it out and as does all of Congress for murderous dictator Benjamin as well. Bipartisan support for that prick. But um it's just interesting that since since that meeting, everything that Trump has done for policy-wise has been in line with um Russian wishes and what Russia wants. Russia who is losing a war against a very small country, Ukraine.

17:09 Russia that is a failed state. Russia whose economy is in shambles. um he brought him to Neil and uh Hillary Clinton and others since her were spoton about how compromised he was and how Putin could play him like a fiddle. All right, that's all we have. U please like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later.
