Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, we continue to have the complete worst of us in charge of all of us. and they've started this war in Iran, which is a complete disaster. And if Donald Trump were a true leader, he would listen to experts in their fields. Instead, Donald Trump thinks he's the expert of everything. And now after claiming victory in Iran, Trump posted this on Truth Social. And this is a video of him dropping a nuke on Iran. Play the clip.
0:42Okay, for those of you listening, he's written Cargillin being blown to smithereens, President DJT. This is the second time he has threatened using nukes. The problem with this man is when he shows you who he is, believe him, because he has been all of the horrible things he has told us that he is time and time again. And then of course, Ted Cruz runs to his defense because Ted Cruz is so incredibly pathetic. And I just want to remind you, Donald Trump called Ted Cruz's wife ugly and said Ted Cruz's dad killed President John F. Kennedy. And Ted Cruz is such a cuck. He continues to kiss the ass of Donald Trump.
1:29Play the clip. Do you agree with President Trump that it's mission accomplished in Iran? Well, listen, I think there are multiple missions. If you look at the initial mission that the Trump administration laid out, which is to degrade and eliminate Iran's military capacity, then I think the answer is unequivocally yes. It's unbelievable that we're supposed to have three branches of government. I remember learning that in junior high school. the three branches of governments and they check each other their checks and balances on each other and you would have the you know your civics teacher would have the triangle and said this branch will check this branch etc etc and nobody is checking anybody else they've all capitulated to money i mean at the core of all of this is just blatant blood thirsty uh quest for money and the worst of the worst jump into this pot to grab at everything.
2:28And so here's Ted Cruz kissing Trump's ass because Ted wants to be president. I mean, if we live in a country where Ted Cruz got 70 million votes, I just don't know what we would all do. But fortunately, this whole movement is wildly unpopular. I think this week we'll probably get polling in that Trump is in the 20s. What I'm fearful about all of this is Donald Trump, if we look at the breadcrumbs he's left throughout his presidency, he talks about how he envies Netanyahu and Zelensky because they don't have elections because they're at war. And I just think that he is unhinged enough and so fearful of accountability, so fearful of a narcissistic injury, a blue tsunami would reflect 100 % on him.
3:19Nobody likes what you're doing and he can't handle that. I'm fearful that he will try to do something insane like this. And the people surrounding him, Pete Hegseth, I mean, he's the gender affirming, you know, let's give everybody more testosterone, Pete Hegseth, Benjamin Netanyahu, who sits as an equal in our situation room, I think they're going to be like, yeah, do it. So this is really terrifying stuff. But we must stay focused, completely focused on all of our efforts to make sure we have a massive turnout in November. And then, of course, Trump is constantly attacking reporters. Here he is attacking Kristen Welker.
4:01Kristen Welker, the unpopular hostess, and how demeaning that he calls a journalist a hostess. Of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Press, Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has mixed results on his endorsement of candidates because of this purposeful inaccuracy. She will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. The press is a disgrace to our nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr and the fine people of his commission will take this threat to our country very seriously.
4:38I just, I'm so exhausted with watching 80-year-old temper tantrums. She's reporting the truth. He can't handle the truth. So he has to go try to ruin her career and take everybody down. And this constant bashing of the press, what is all of that about? Because some people in the press, a very small percentage, are still trying to provide a guard rail and shine a light on this corruption. And he can't handle it because that was a narcissistic injury. What she said, his endorsements have mixed results. He can't handle that. That hurts his feelings. It's unbelievable that these Republicans who lecture us about personal accountability, pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, being a man, all bend the knee to this toddler.
5:35I mean, just absolutely an immature idiot that needs to be in a padded cell in a straitjacket. And in his latest Fox interview, Trump brags about how voters like him more than Republicans. Play the clip. Before I'm going to go out and I'm going to campaign like I did for myself. And I'm going to hope that people think that I'm on. And if I'm not on, if they don't go out and vote, if they go out and vote, we're going to win easily. But some people like me more than they like the party. I mean, you know, you can't be insulted by it. There's nothing you can do about it. I mean, I hate to say this, but I think some of that is true.
6:14I think a lot of people turned out to vote for Trump that had never voted before. And what they still kind of cling on to with him is that he is the anti-status quo president, that they think, oh, he can't be bought, which we all know is bullshit. But I think that there were a lot of people that initially came out because they liked him more than they did any of the other Republicans at Low Energy Jeb, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc. So I do think the worm has turned. I do think Trump's approval rating is absolutely abysmal. I think the problem is, even if he gets out there more, I think that voter turnout in Republican, heavy Republican areas, I don't know that they're going to turn out because they went all chips in on this guy they thought was going to save them.
7:07And it's embarrassing. I mean, his and dangerous. Everybody's prices of everything have gone up. He's gotten richer. All of his buddies have gotten richer. We're in a war. Nobody wants to go to these wars. It's a complete disaster. And now let's check in and listen to some leaked audio from a GOP congresswoman. And this woman, Stephanie Bice, she is in my district in Oklahoma. She reveals how members are fed up with Trump in a leaked video. Play the clip. We have to get over the narrative that I don't like this guy, so I'm going to vote for the Democrat because I'm telling you right now, I'm hearing it already.
7:49And what happens is that will impact me because either two things or two things will either happen. They're going to vote for the Democrat, and they may split ticket and vote for me and a few others. Or, this is my bigger fear right now, people don't go vote. I was at a board meeting yesterday with a group, and when it gave Seth said to me, I'm a Republican, I've been a Republican for a long time, but I have Trump fatigue. It's a fair statement. We're not helping ourselves today when we decide to rename Lake Ontario Lake America. You know, here's the thing. She won't go and say that out loud. She plays politics.
8:31Stephanie Bice is an absolute disgrace of the highest order. In her district, women that get raped do not have access to health care. And Stephanie Bice says nothing. Stephanie Bice couldn't race to the White House quick enough to stand up next to Donald Trump for one of his executive order show and tells. Stephanie Bice embodies the type of politician that says one thing in public and another thing in private. And that's what everybody is so sick of. My hope is that in at least some spaces in states like Oklahoma that are ruby red, we can carve out some blue sanctuaries for people to live in.
9:17But Stephanie Bice is corporate bought, paid for. If she sat down next to Donald Trump, She would never say, you're not helping me by changing Lake Ontario to Lake America. She would never say that to his face, ever, because she's a complete coward. So people in Oklahoma, I hope you come out in droves to turn away Stephanie Bice and her pathological lying. And then, of course, we have Stephen Miller lying about immigrants on Laura Ingram's show. Play the clip. The fraud that Democrats perpetrate when they encourage illegal aliens to file fake asylum claims. Did you know, Laura, the cost of adjudicating even one fake asylum claim is the same cost as providing free cancer treatment to one American citizen with pediatric cancer?
10:05Every single fraud they abet, we could provide free cancer care to one American citizen. I just why is he so hysterical all the time? I mean, it's just nobody thinks for a second, Stephen, that you give a shit about kids with cancer. It's not like you get to say, oh, I'm a child advocate, except for all of these children that are black and brown or might speak Spanish. I don't give a shit about them. So then you have no credibility when you come over and claim to be you're the child cancer savior. I mean, And this is just utterly insane. But I think that's really telling as to a lot of people that are deeply embedded in Republican politics.
10:49They're able to quantify which lives are more important because they don't believe in universal human rights. And that's the error of their entire way, because we are a melting pot. And as we become more and more and more multicultural, there's so many different marriages and children of people of mixed faith, mixed race. Then what do you do, Stephen? Then what do you do? Are you just deporting everybody except for just the complete freaks like you and Katie Miller? I mean, this is just, it's really sad. It's really sad that we're living in a country where there's not one redeemable quality, not one, about Stephen Miller, about Donald Trump, about Stephanie Bice, about Ted Cruz, and they're running the country and you can't find one redeemable quality.
11:48I remember when Mitt Romney ran against Obama, and I love Obama, 100 % in the tank for Obama. Same with John McCain. I remember when he ran against Obama. Again, I was 100 % for Obama. But there was something redeemable. There was just a slight tinge of humanity in each of them. That is gone. The Republican Party is completely the party of 1 ,000 % cruelty. All gas, no brakes. Let's be as mean and as horrible and as awful as we can. And the people in the cult celebrate it. And it's so depressing to see that. And then, of course, more depressing shit. Pete Hegseth is paying military veterans to amplify Pentagon propaganda, as all fascists do.
12:30Pop this up. Midas Touch is reporting the federal government is paying MAGA influencers on this website to post pro-regime propaganda, actual paid crisis actors. Incredible reporting here. This is this is what losers do. I mean, this is just everything with them is all smoke and mirrors from their qualifications all the way down. There's not nothing, absolutely nothing redeemable about these people, even their own belief systems and the choices they make have to be artificially amplified. And meanwhile, Trump is focused on the Space Force. Play the clip. Because I did that. I was doing my term.
13:14And a lot of people didn't believe in it. A lot of people in the next administration wanted to end it. And frankly, the military put their foot down. The military absolutely put their foot down. They wouldn't let that happen. Oh, my God. I mean, this is him on the phone with the International Space Station. I mean, this is this is insane. And it's so insane that we wake up every morning and it's not headline news that this man is giving inappropriate, wildly political speeches to people that are on the International Space Station. It's utterly insane. But my favorite part about this is Natalie is watching while Trump is on the call, pop this up.
13:56And I don't know if you can see in the video, they like they they zoom in and kind of cut her out. So the Natalie, the bunny boiler situation is still I mean, they're they're not doing anything about it, because I think she's a complete liability. Watch this zoom in, you guys. Natalie is a complete liability because she is so insane. Watch, here they are. They're going to zoom in. They're going to crop out Natalie. Who knows what she would do if he said, okay, Natalie, you can't work for anymore. You can't follow me around. You can't print shit for me anymore. She would go ape shit bananas because this is like the most important person in her life.
14:33And she has more influence over the president of the United States than basically anyone that I can see. Pretty depressing stuff. All right, that's all we have. Order this. Pre-order this book.
