Not only is this unconstitutional and like the worst idea imaginable, but crazy people like to do crazy things. They have delusions of grandeur. They think they can, you know, they're 10 foot tall and bulletproof. I get that. What I don't get are these billionaires that encourage this behavior. There's absolutely no sense of country or help for humanity. It's just, this guy is so corrupt and we can do whatever we want to with him. So we will install him again and again and again until we have all the power we need concentrated in the executive branch so that we can just put in any puppet we want.
0:57One of these billionaires is a lady named Marian Adelson. She gave Trump$250 million the last time he ran. She recently, a couple of weeks ago, was sitting down, paid for a huge conference. And Hillary Clinton was one of the keynote speakers. And this is why people don't like Democrats, because they are duplicitous. They have their feet in two different puddles at the same time. And here is Miriam Adelson, an Israeli donor, talking about a Trump third term and how much you'd pay him to do it again. It's so brazenly corrupt and ridiculous. Play the clip. And now I met Alan Dershowitz, and he said the legal thing about four more years, and I said, Alan, I agree with you.
1:51So we can do it. Think about it. Alan's here someplace. Where's Alan? Alan is here, or he had a flight. Alan's here. Alan is here. For more news, for more news, for more news. Think about it. Thank you. Maybe I'll give you the first one with them, you'll second. Yeah. She said, think about it, I'll give you another$250. I really do. But her husband, Sheldon, was an amazing guy. Okay, while all of the majority of Americans are struggling, I just read an article about Amazon workers unionizing because Jeff Bezos doesn't pay them enough. and they don't know whether they should buy Christmas gift for their family or a meal.
2:33And she just casually, hey, think about it, run again. I'll give you another$250 million. It's so incredibly grotesque. Everything about this administration is grotesque. You hear that Trump is a genius brander, really, because people cannot afford their healthcare. They cannot afford food. And he's building now his$400 million ballroom and his arch. And Miriam Adelson and her husband paid, I think,$100 million to place the U.S. embassy in Israel, in Jerusalem. Miriam Adelson got the presidential medal of freedom because of how much money she's given Trump. That was the criteria. And the fact that it's just, we're not even hiding it.
3:23Like, of course, there's been corruption in politics. We all know that. But they're not trying to even hide it. Yeah, she gave me$250 million. I'll do whatever I want. And I just want to remind everybody, you know who they keep talking about? Alan Dershowitz. He's ass deep in the Epstein files. He's another one that's ass deep in pedophilia, sex trafficking. This is who they are. Yes. Yes. And Alan Dershowitz is the same guy that Barry Weiss, who has face planted ratings wise at CBS. She's completely face planted. He is the commentator. And this guy's like 80 years old, as Pum said, knee deep in corruption, knee deep in child sex traffic rings.
4:08Barry Weiss said, we need to have Alan Dershowitz on the news more. We need this kind of commentator. And so I just think it's super important to point out, Mary Madelson just had Hillary Clinton as a keynote speaker, lecture, young Jewish people and Americans at large about what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears regarding Palestine and Israeli aggression. And when you see a Democratic establishment icon, Hillary Clinton, on the stage with these people, you start thinking, and then Mary Maddison is saying, oh, yeah, run another term. And then you start saying, okay, they're controlling the opposition.
4:54Like, this is why the Democrats are winning right now, but their approval rating is at an all-time low. And it's because of this type of double play. It's this type of doublespeak. It's a lack of moral clarity. If Hillary Clinton wants to say democracy is the most important thing and the rule of law and the Constitution says X, Y, Z, but yeah, I'm going to go play patty cake with Marianne Madelson, even though I know she gives a fascist dictator$250 million to commit war crimes. That's the problem right there. All right, Moving along, the Wall Street Journal has confirmed all of this. If anybody thought that they were just joking around on the stage, Wall Street Journal has dug deep into it, put it up.
5:41Brian Schwartz is reporting the Wall Street Journal. Trump privately spoke with his former impeachment attorney, Alan Dershowitz, about potentially being president for a third term. Dershowitz presented Trump a draft of his upcoming book called Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term? They discussed Dershowitz's conclusion on a potential Trump third term. Here's my thing. I mean, there's never been an argument against billionaires as much as if you, Miriam Madelson and others, see what we're all seeing. the complete psychotic dementia breakdown that we're all witnessing. And they think, oh yeah, he needs another term.
6:24We know they're not thinking that because any person with an IQ of 90 or higher can see that this man is wholly incompetent. But what they want is they're able to easily manipulate him. They're able to apply superficial charm. They're able to engage in quid pro quos, they're able to pay him and flatter him to have evil shit done on their behalf. Stuff that they're able to skirt the system. This whole country is set up for DEI from billionaires. And so if you don't believe me, and I know you all do on this channel, but take a look at, he did a press conference last night, not a press conference, a speech from the White House.
7:13And this is just one clip of how psychotic and mentally unwell he is. And I want you to notice the speech pattern and the flight of ideas. Play the clip. Far greater national security. Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs. My favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore. Companies know that if they build in America, there are no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home to the USA in record numbers. They're building factories and plants at levels we haven't seen, AI, automobiles. We're doing what nobody thought was even possible, not even remotely possible.
7:58There has never, frankly, been anything like it. One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was... All right, y 'all get the gist. So it was basically past, I think it's like 30 minutes of him screaming like that, lying, lying and screaming. Everything he said was a lie. And what's so interesting is I popped over to Fox News and they are acting like this was the sermon on the mount, Like he nailed it. And I came away thinking this was sundown or hour on steroids. Anybody who watched this had to think he's lost his fucking mind. The flight of ideas, the grandiosity.
8:43I mean, just off the top of my head, the lies, you know, his math was wrong. He stuttered throughout the speech, screaming, it's dead. The economy's great. Biden screwed up the economy. Like nothing made sense. Like you could not watch that and think, oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. He didn't do that. And here's the thing. He keeps talking about how great tariffs are. It's because he's so underwater on tariffs. The American people hate tariffs. So he sits there and gaslights. He lies about everything. And you know what he's worried about because he has to keep saying, oh, everybody loves tariffs.
9:19I'm so good at tariffs. Underwater out the ass on tariffs. It's just one right after the other. Not to mention that the Fed chair said that inflation is being exacerbated by the tariffs. And every leading economist has said that he has taken an economy with a trajectory when the baton was passed to him that was skyrocketing. And because of his use of tariffs and his inherent misunderstanding as to what tariffs are and who pays them. This in and of itself has caused so many fissures in the American economy, devalued the US dollar. But I think we all have to remember this is the point, right? The point of all of this is the suicide of a superpower.
10:06These people that want to bring down the United States have found an absolute moron with whom they can present trophies and business deals and flattery and then they can get what they want. All of the United States of America is on the market right now. It's all for sale. Our military secrets, our scientific innovation. This is unprecedented beyond anything we have ever seen. And the abdication by Republicans in Congress and the abdication by industry titans will be something that will be in shame in the history books forever. ever. And it's already starting to backfire. You see that Barry Wise, as I mentioned earlier, her town hall with Erica Kirk face plan.
10:56When these people get out of their bubble and they are exposed to the masses, they're wildly unpopular. We saw with the Vanity Fair mugshots, everybody celebrated how shitty and how awful and how Nazi-esque these people look because that's how we all see them. They don't like it because they have to be in their bubble all the time where it's, you know, speaking in tongues and high fives about, oh, you're doing a great job for the best administration ever. And so this is something that's really dangerous and why he's been able to, to artificially ascend in their mind. Because the way we are allowing this man to be covered is the first sin of this entire fascist takeover.
11:46And I want to, Kylie, put up this tweet. I want to illustrate to you guys. Democrats don't have a messaging problem. We have a this problem. Kylie put up the first tweet. In 2014, ABC, CBS, NBC won't air Obama's primetime immigration address. Major networks wouldn't air it. And then in 2022, as Biden warned about democracy's collapse, TV networks aired reruns. So these were serious presidents that had serious addresses to the public. We have a very unserious, dementia-ridden fascist surrounded by Nazi-esque sycophants. And they will air him if he said, I'm going to get up and blow my nose for 45 minutes on national television, they would air it.
12:40And the purpose of the press is to shine a light on things to keep us all safer and better. And if you think about the work that the Boston Globe did during the spotlight office, during the Catholic Church scandal and how it's shown a light on that. When you think about the brave journalists right now that are staying focused in a really, really dangerous minefield that this administration that hates the constitution, that hates free press has set up. And then you see how all of these billionaires are buying the press so that they can exact a result that they want and sway the public. It's not working.
13:26And so we need to stay focused on how important it is when there are still journalists out there that work for some of these corporations. And we need to stay focused on how important journalism is and how messaging facts is. Now, Pumps and I are not journalists. We use the work of very hard hitting, source driven journalists, and we use their reporting and then we riff on their opinions. But it is so incredibly important as we head into the midterms. He's underwater on everything, on tariffs, on immigration, immigration. And right Right now, I saw a stunning stat that over 70 % of Americans approve of immigration.
14:18That's bipartisanship. Yeah, but we'll never know it because you can't even get this Congress to look at legislation or introduce legislation. And Trump no more is going to backtrack off this because Stephen Miller gets his rocks off thinking that people are in handcuffs and being shackled. They like the cruelty of it. So regardless of what the public says, this administration is an authoritarian administration. They're going to do what they want. They don't give a shit about the voter. Listener, it's time to shop, shop, shop. And it's so hard to find gifts for people that are personal and that you are proud to give.

So Christopher Anderson was the photographer who photographed the, it's so hard for me to call him a cabinet or advisors. I mean, the worst Americans on the planet. That's who he photographed. and he's a photojournalist and I just think he did a phenomenal job. And he was interviewed by the Washington Post yesterday.
16:34He was in an airport in Paris. And I thought this was just fascinating right here. And I didn't, I wanted to share it with you guys. So the journalist from the Washington Post asked the photographer, were there moments that you missed anything that happened that's on the cutting room floor? And Christopher Anderson answers, I don't think there's anything I missed that I wish I'd gotten. I'll give you a little anecdote. Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, should I smile or not smile? And I said, how do you want to be portrayed? We agreed that we would do a little bit of both.
17:10And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, you know, you have a lot of power and the discretion you use to be kind to people. And I looked at him and I said, you know, you do too. In this Vanity Fair article, and I know that Vanity Fair is owned by a corporation, but in these entities, there are heroes among us and the majority of us value art, value journalism, value freedom, value expression, value democracy. The majority of us are not, don't get our rocks off by browbeating black people, by browbeating immigrants, by being cruel. The majority of Americans detest with everything in us, with every molecule, with every bit of DNA we have, we detest the cruelty and the regressive nature of this regime.
18:07And I commend Christopher Anderson for showing these people and more than anything, putting a mirror up to these morally depraved psychopaths. And then each day since this article has dropped, they have to get online and see everybody celebrating how shitty they look. seeing everybody draw the comparisons between the portrait taken of Joseph Goebbels and exactly the way Stephen Miller nailed it. Because here's the thing, when we call these people fascist, their only response is to say, you can't call us that. They don't defend it. They're not offended. They're not offended by that. They don't say, oh my God, no, we're not fascists.
18:51We believe in human rights. When you call them a Nazi, when you call them white nationalists, they just say, see, the left is using dangerous rhetoric. They don't say, oh my God, absolutely not. We embrace African-Americans. We embrace Mexican-Americans. We embrace a multicultural society. When we call them homophobes and anti-gay bigots, they don't stand up and go to bat for gay Americans. They don't stand up and go to bat. They just say the left is being mean to us and they're using insightful language. And that's the fucking difference. That's the difference between the left and the right. If somebody called Pumps and me white nationalists, I would want to sit down and have a conversation about it.
19:31Because if anything I said gave off those vibes, I would be mortified. If anything in my past, anything, I want to sit down and atone for it. This administration continues every single day in a bubble. And we have to keep bursting their bubble and stay focused and stay locked in to get us to these midterms. And it has to be too big to rig. We have to have such a massive turnout that even in all the gerrymandered red states, and these red state MAGA people are finding out. They are finding out right now that they have been lied to. They have been lied to by the Republican Party. Their faith has been weaponized against them.
20:13And the gig is up. They're going to do a lot more fuckery between now and then. Trust me, they will. But you're seeing fissures in the Republican Congress a little bit here and there. And that's going to continue because the strong man right now that holds a dictatorship together is a frail ass old queen blaring phantom of the opera that can't even speak in complete sentences. So listen, when you're online and you see people just ridiculing the shit out of these people go in, go in on it. That's what they do. They have a whole bot farm that does all of this. We have real people. We have real numbers.
20:52So as we all head into this holiday season, remember the majority of us are good. The majority of us embrace human rights and multiculturalism. And the majority of us hate these Nazi fascist pieces of shit. And I love you, Christopher Anderson, the work you did on those portraits was incredible. All right, that's all we have. Please subscribe, like, and we'll be back later with more news.
