0:04All right, the midterms are less than 80 days away and I want every member of MAGA on the campaign trail, especially Donald Trump. I mean, coast to coast, get him out there, all of his greatest hits. But I also want to see our little smoky eye sociopath. I think one of the least liked, least riz politicians out there, little JD Vance. I want him on the campaign trail. And I think my wish is coming true. Pop this up. New, Vance will deliver a speech Friday in his hometown of Middleton, Ohio, where he'll talk up Trump's agenda and seem to draw contrast with the progressive left. The event also will kick off ramped up midterm travel schedule for the VP.

0:47Good. Do it. Let's put him coast to coast. Put him out there. Make him the face of this failure. You've already made him the fraud czar, Kanks. You're already, you know, pegging all of your fraud and your mafia style business dealings that you're doing with our federal government. You're already pinning that on him. Why not pin the midterm failure on him. I love it. I like where your head's at. Next up, Trump is now openly rooting against the United States. Play the clip. When our country does well, interest rates should go down. I mean, every time I hear our country's doing well, I say, oh, it's too bad because they lift up interest rates.

1:23They should drop interest rates because it means we have a strong country. I mean, this is a guy who has no idea what it is like to be an American. He has lived in this elite class of people where they fly private. They don't experience the everyday life activities that we have. You know, this guy's never probably been to a PTA meeting. He's never been to a parent teacher conference. Of course he hasn't. I don't even think he's been to the grocery store. And so here he is. He just wants the economy to be what he wants it to be for himself. His entire second term is about keeping him out of prison and making him rich and keeping him in power forever.

2:09Those three things are what he is laser focused on. And I've been talking to you about this forever, and I want the Democratic Party to start hammering this. The Republican Party has been lying to you. They are not fiscally conservative. They are not fiscally responsible. They spend like crackheads. Pop this up. The U.S. national debt has ballooned to$40 trillion. This comes after the Trump administration borrowed$2 trillion to fund Trump's war in Iran and massive tax cuts for billionaires. And I was just thinking about this, how maddening it is. I'm in L.A. right now, traveling, getting my son back to school.

2:52And everywhere you go, you have to tip here. You have to tip there. You have to tip here. And I'm all about, I want to tip. I used to wait tables in college. And so I'm a big tipper. But when you think about like Starbucks and you think about how much money that CEO makes hundreds of millions annually, and then his workers are subjected to working class people paying their tips for the coffees. And it's just utterly disgusting the way the Republican Party has trained and propagandized its base to root for the billionaires that will actively root to dick over the working class every single chance they can get.

3:34That's why all of these people went and kissed Donald Trump's ass immediately. They don't care about the country either because they don't have, they don't live within borders. Yeah, they might have a U.S. passport, but if any of these people want to fly anywhere, they power up the jet and they go. It's a completely different life experience. And they're completely divorced from what everyday people have to experience in their lives. And some MAGA people are starting to see this and they're starting to catch on. Let's, let's take a listen. I am. Do you vote in Republican primaries? I do. So you're just not happy with the way the party.

4:09I'm not happy. Well, the party that I know doesn't exist. Hopefully it finds its way. If you could say something to President Trump like that, what would you say? Resign. You're destroying the country. Okay. I think that this is happening all over the place. The MAGA regime does a great job. also remember Donald Trump's biggest supporters own all of the social media websites that we're all on. So they control the algorithms, they control the likes, the retweets, they boost the messaging. And so we have this false sense of how popular they are combined with the fact that probably a lot of us in 2024, myself included, that there's no way he can win.

4:56There's no way. And then he did. And then you're like, oh, shit, there's so many more MAGA supporters out there than I ever realized. Well, I think those MAGA supporters are really starting to erode. And two good things can help us here. Number one, they go and they vote against him. Or number two, they don't go out to vote. And on the Democratic side, we need everybody to get out to vote. We need massive, massive, massive turnout because this is our final check. This is it. We are the guardrail. The guardrail that is coming this November, this is the guardrail. And We have to send a message to Donald Trump, to the Republican Senate, to the Republican Congress, to the Supreme Court.

5:34This is our country. It is not yours. You have a temporary employment at the top of the government, but that is it. It is temporary. We are the people. We govern this country. We are voting you out. We need to send a chill down their spines. All of these CEOs that went and kissed the ass of Donald Trump, they don't believe in anything. They're nihilists. The minute they see their customer base, it was a big, giant blue tsunami. Oh, we're going to have Pride Month again at Meta. They're going to be all back into all of that shit because they only do what they think their customers want and they only do what makes them money.

6:13And of course, we haven't spoken about Cash Patel in quite some time. Cash Patel is so wholly incompetent as a person, as a boyfriend, as an attorney. He sure as fuck should not be the director of the FBI, but nonetheless, he is because Donald Trump intentionally picked dumb people to have dumb people around him because he didn't want anybody questioning what he did. He picked submissive people that wouldn't ever stand on any principle or dignity. Cash Patel is one of those people. And here he is posting more videos congratulating who? Oh, himself. Let's play the clip. Part of my motto is showing up.

6:56Show up to the field. Show up to your partners. Collectively, law enforcement across the country, state, local, tribal, and federal, has delivered for the American people the largest reduction in violent crime in U.S. system. Violent crime and then talk of rape, robbery, ag assault, all down double digits. I mean, I've heard enough of this guy. Everybody in the Trump regime, they're such narcissists. Remember Kristi Noem and all the TSA videos? I remember I was at the airport and I looked up like, you know, miserable experience going through the TSA lines. And I see Kristi and I'm like, oh, my God, what's she doing here?

7:32Kash Patel, of course, he has to make a hype video. Sean Duffy is doing his reality show. It's so embarrassing, but I guess you just cannot shame the shameless. But Kash Patel is an absolute abject failure, failure at the FBI. And it is just a jet stream of bullshit. it. Crime is down because they're not investigating all of the criminals in the White House. That's why. That's why, Cash, maybe turn your investigation towards your mafia-style boss, but of course he never will. And then we have Elon Musk. I mean, we just haven't beaten up on this guy enough. His legacy will be the richest man in the world who took food and medications from the poorest people in the world and caused mass, mass death for spite, just for spite.

8:24That's it for spite, because I don't know what happened in his, uh, in his childhood, but a lot of this shit is inner child issues. And we know that, uh, Elon's dad, Errol was, um, accused by Elon's siblings of sexually abusing them. So you can only imagine how toxic this, this guy, his childhood, his inner child issues. He's an untreated drug addict, desperate, desperate, desperate need of going to rehab, but he won't. He'll never do it. And he's just going bananas on Twitter all the time, just racist, racist, racist shit all the time. Now he's going on a drug-fueled Twitter rant defending Derek Chauvin.

9:03And you may remember Derek Chauvin is the cop that murdered George Floyd, which we all saw so sadly with our own eyes. Pop this up. Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder. Therefore, he should be freed. The facts show that he was not the cause of the death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he's not a murderer. That is the truth. Okay. The only reason Elon Musk cares about this, the only reason Trump's followers and Musk's followers care about this is because they are racist and white supremacists. They want to free Derek Chauvin to send a message to all of the black people.

9:50We're in charge. And it's so abhorrent. It's so, it's such a disgusting aftermath in our country, how this racism still exists, how people aren't actively partnering with black allies in this country. our black brothers and sisters, the backbone of the Democratic Party to help eradicate this. We see the Voting Rights Act get actively dismantled. And then he's putting this shit out there. You know, he should be kicked off the platform, but he bought it. He owns it. I hope that the next presidential candidate, the Democratic nominee for 2028 goes bold and runs big that they are going to investigate every single thing that Elon Musk did, everything, Every move he made, every single breath he took, because this guy is out of control.

10:43Imagine for a second that you have a trillion dollars. Imagine you have a billion dollars. Imagine you have a hundred million dollars, ten million dollars. And you sit around on Twitter all of the time. There is not a bank account big enough that can fix these people. They are beyond repair. They are beyond broken. And that racism and that hatred in his heart shows you he enjoyed what Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd. His lack of outrage tells you everything you need to know. And then now he's just flat out gaslighting and lying. And he wants that cop freed. And he probably get in Trump's ear and other people will get in Trump's ear.

11:25And this is the kind of shit MAGA likes to do. They like to dunk on marginalized groups. That's what they enjoy doing because they're so inferior themselves. The only thing that Elon Musk has is his white skin. Everything else, everything he's bought, he's a grifter. He hasn't invented anything. He didn't even invent Tesla. He's an absolute failure of a person. Now, I know that a lot of MAGA people give rich people, oh, well, he's so successful. In my mind, Elon Musk is not successful. He's an abject failure, racist sack of shit beyond all repair. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

12:09Here's what's happening right now. A member of Congress is calling separation of church and state a lie from Satan. Oklahoma is still fighting over whether taxpayers can be forced to fund a religious public charter school. And in Michigan, FFRF just helped get religious displays removed from a public elementary school classroom. So no, this is not theoretical. This is not just some dusty civics lesson. This is about whether public schools, public money, and public office belong to everyone, or whether government gets to promote religion. The Freedom From Religion Foundation works to keep church and state separate, because freedom of conscience protects all of us.

12:59FFRF also speaks up for free thinkers, atheists, agnostics, humanists, and non-religious Americans who are too often left out in the story.

Yes, he needs the bike because there's no free bus. Yeah. Communism with a smile. That's what all these influencers, they get elected to office.

13:59That's primarily how they get there, right? Because they can put a smile on socialism and communism and they can laugh off safety. And I think it's also insulting to the New Yorkers out there that are legitimately worried about their physical safety, not because of lack of a bike helmet, but just because of the state of New York City and the safety problems that exist, especially for Jewish New Yorkers. So. Okay, this is just bullshit. I live in New York. It is one of the things for a large city has one of the lowest crime rates of any large city in the world where I lived in Oklahoma City per capita.

14:32Far, far, far higher crime rate than New York City. This is what they do. All Fox News can do is scare you and they're mad because Zoran's wearing a bike helmet. These people get triggered by the stupidest shit on the planet. But they have to talk about that shit because they cannot talk about what the president's doing. They can't. And I just want to remind you, and we need to remind people about this every single day as much as we can. Anybody who watches Fox News willingly is signing up to turn on the television and say, lie to me. I'm an idiot. Lie to me. I want lies. Gaslight me and lie to me.

15:13Why is that? Because Fox News was sued for lying to its viewers about the voting machines. The voting machine company sued Fox News and received a billion dollars in damages. And Fox had to say, OK, we lied. So knowing that, how stupid are the Fox News viewers? They literally are saying, here's my remote. Lie to me. I want you to lie to me. I don't want to know the truth, which is why Sean Duffy doesn't want his daughter going to Harvard, which is why they want to keep everybody in bubble wrap in this crazy bat ship bubble wrap. But we will break out of it. We will march to the midterms in the biggest amount of numbers imaginable.

15:54It has to be too big to rig because they will try to cheat. I don't trust Elon Musk and all of his satellites. I don't trust any of them. But if the turnout is so massive that they cannot overcome it, that's how we send a chill down every single one of their spines. You are not in control of us. You only temporarily have these jobs for a finite amount of time and you're fired, to quote Donald Trump's favorite quote. All right, please like, subscribe and preorder my book, Not Today Fascist. And we'll be back later with more news.
