0:04The lying propaganda that comes out of the press secretary's office is absolutely shocking. every time. It's the same every time. It's a jet stream of bullshit, but every time it takes my breath away. So I think we should change the various, very serious job of press secretary, change the name to propaganda secretary, because all we hear is ass kissing, lies, and propaganda from Caroline KKK Levitt, who stands up there with her cross and acts like that Donald Trump is the most honest, transparent. He's the best guy. And then J.D. Vance, on the same day that Trump calls for the execution by hanging of congressmen and women, J.D.

0:53Vance calls him a humanitarian. So we've got a packed episode. Let's start with KKK responding to a question about Donald Trump calling for the execution of Congress members. And has frequently, but Carolyn, can I just follow up? The president and the vice president, for that matter, have accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that exactly what the president is doing when he says that members of Congress should be killed? Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing? Okay, stop it right here. I just want to say this. First of all, she comes off as an arrogant twat.

1:29Why aren't you? It was a very simple question. Trump and Vance say the left incites violence, all that. Her question was straightforward. The answer is yes or no. And she says, well, I mean, why aren't you asking about this? I mean, it's unbelievable how these people will deflect. I will say to her credit, she is a fabulous propagandist and deflector. Here we go. Finish it up. Sorry. They are literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to defy the chain of command, not to follow lawful orders. Every single... Actually, you can refuse an illegal order, which is... But they are...

2:08But they're suggesting, Nancy, that the president has given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order that is given to this United States military by this commander-in-chief and through this chain of command, through the secretary of war, is lawful. And the courts have proven that. this administration. Okay, number one, we all know that's a fucking bold face lie. Trump does, in my opinion, illegal shit every waking moment. And my guess, if I were guessing, he's sending orders that while he's sleeping for the two or three hours, people are committing crimes on his behalf and other time zones.

2:47This man is a convicted felon. Everybody that works for him is fine with that. And here's the thing. It's not the Department of War. It's not the Secretary of War. That is a made up name that Pete Hexeth, because he's so fucking insecure and Donald Trump, because he wants his own private police. They changed the name of the Department of Defense, not by congressional act, but just because they're just showing everybody their little dick energy. It's unbelievable how juvenile these people are. And the fact that she stands up there with her cross and says that with a straight face is mind blowing.

3:28Like, I don't understand why a nose doesn't grow out. And it's not like Pinocchio. This woman lies constantly. And then not only does she lie, she sits there and she defends the misogynistic, sexist jerk that is It's her boss and she's all in on it. It's unbelievable her response to the reporter he called Piggy Piggy. I'll let the president speak for himself. Natalie. Thank you, Caroline. What did the president mean when he called the reporter Piggy? Look, the president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You've all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this president because of his frankness.

4:16And he calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration. But he also is the most transparent president in history. And he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access. I can't even listen anymore. We just need, I wish we could draw with an AI bot. Like every time she appears on the internet, the Pinocchio growing. First of all, the fact that she would defend him calling a reporter piggy, and then go talking about how honest he is and transparent, instead of saying, you know, I talked to President Trump about that.

4:57And I explained to him why that might be offensive to that reporter and demean women in the workplace. And you know what he told me, he thought, Caroline, will you please go and apologize or something? But no, she doubles fucking down because these women in this movement, and I know people in this movement, I love people in this movement. The internalized misogyny runs rampant. They aren't offended by this because they kind of expect it. They think it's kind of okay. They don't want to say it out loud. They might say, oh, he shouldn't have said that. But they're not going to put those words into action and say, I'm not voting for somebody that talks to women like that.

5:44And this woman gives every single one of those women permission to do that because she bounces out there with her cross because she's a good Christian and talks about how transparent and honest he is. There was like a Washington Post lie counter in Trump 1.0 that they had to quit because it just, it was so, the numbers were so fast, so furious, climbing all the time because of his lies. It's unbelievable she can say that with a straight face. And here's the thing. What did Trump say about dumb voters? Dumb people like me. They like me. People that cannot critically think they like him because he sells a line of bullshit.

6:26He hates the people they hate. He has the same biases against homosexuals and the LGBT LGBTQIA plus community and women and black people and brown people. He can demean anybody at any time and they dig it. And so he doesn't like smart people, liberal white women, college educated. Oh my gosh. They're like on the list of all the other enemies from within because critical thinkers realize he's lying, he's full of shit and he is a con man, full stop. So Trump getting rid of the Department of Education. Here's what Carol Lyon KKK says about it. And then I just want to follow up with Project 2025, little tidbit.

7:11Here we go. The Democrats' reckless 43-day government shutdown did manage to do one valuable thing. It proved that America does not need a federal Department of Education. During the longest shutdown in history... Okay, enough. Here's the thing. Let Let me tell you this. Shutting down the Department of Education was is in Project 2025. Full stop. That's where it came from. It has nothing to do with the shutdown, which I agree the Democrats came. But it was the Republicans responsible for it. But why would Lion Pinocchio care at this point with all the lies? So here's the thing. Project 2025 wants people done.

7:51If you homeschool, if you only teach the Bible, if you only teach creation theory, people are going to believe bullshitters and con artists like Trump. And that is why he wants to shut down the Department of Education, because Project 2025 told him to do so. So let's get that straight. OK, and then J.D. Vance, there was just a teeny tiny moment of clarity followed by the biggest, I mean, the biggest fumble of the ball I've ever seen. Here he is talking about Trump's economy. And even though we've made incredible progress, we understand that there's a lot more work to do. And the thing that I'd ask for the American people is a little bit of patience.

8:35A little bit of patience. He's going to lower prices on day one. He's going to solve the war in Ukraine and Russia on day one. This motherfucker doesn't do shit. He passed all these tariffs, super inflationary, losing jobs, total shit show of the economy. Won't even release the job numbers because it's like over a million since he's been in office. And now he's asking for patience. I mean, cry me a fucking river. And then here on the day that Donald Trump wants to execute and even suggest by hanging might be a good way to do it. Congress people sitting congressmen. This is what J.D. Vance has to say about him, which to me is like, how did he get those words out?

9:26Here we go. He's fundamentally a humanitarian and we've got eight piece deals at this point. We're working on number nine and number 10. And I think that, you know, if he gets number 10 purely for like mathematical harmony, if he gets to 10, the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J. Trump, even though he certainly earned it with the first date. OK, number one, he hasn't settled eight wars. That's complete bullshit. I don't know why anybody doesn't say list the wars he has settled. List them for me. Show me the peace deals. Show me the signatures on the dotted line and the plan for peace that he is parading around.

10:02Nobody ever does it because it's not true. And then on the day he calls for execution of United States Congress people, J.D. Vance is shilling for him for the Nobel Peace Prize. I say this all the time with this administration, but irony is fucking dead. It's unbelievable that like lightning doesn't strike these people when they start lying. Caroline Levitt doesn't have a nose growing. I mean, just out the gazoo, J.D. Vance, he can't even sell that bullshit. I mean, he's trying, but he doesn't have enough riz to come off like he even really believes it. And I just want to leave you guys with this from the Washington Post, the most unbelievable yet believable thing from the Don't Call Us Nazi Party.

10:48The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika and the Confederate flag as symbols of hate. Mic drop. That's who they are. Don't call us Nazis because we're all in on swastikas and Confederate flags, but we're not fascist Nazis. So we're going to listen not to your words, but we are going to watch your actions and they tell the story. Please like this video, subscribe to our channel and buy our book life. Oh, upside down.
