Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04The grifter in chief, the most corrupt president in history, who is an adjudicated rapist.
0:13He was haven't heard back. It's Valentine's Day, E. Jean. I love you. And I was pretty sure you loved me back. Is everything okay? Open love letter. Roses are red. Violets are blue. Do you still love Trump as I love you? This is a small preview, blah, blah, blah. Before you read my letter, do you still love me and are great? President Trump sent this out to his followers, bringing attention to the fact that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. He's mentioned over 1.5 million times in the Epstein files, and he still sends this out to people and he tells them how much he loves them, which I thought was creepy.
1:11But Ruth Benghia educated me on that, that dictators do this. So, Jennifer, when you see this, what do you think? I think that this is the flagrant flex that reminding everybody that he gets to do this, that in light of all of the Epstein stuff, that we are the people that are able to do these things with impunity. Furthermore, who knows if he even wrote that? Who knows if he even knows that that was exactly what was sent out? But that's the point. It doesn't matter anymore. And this is something we all need to think about. I used to think, okay, this guy's not a spring chicken. He's a lame duck.
1:56He's going to drop dead. That'll fix our problems. It won't. What's incubating is far, far worse. The J.D. Vance, the Stephen Miller, all of the oligarchs that have their, I guess they want to be wealthier, even though they have all made a collective, I think it's$1.9 trillion more. And so this is going to get worse. I mean, this just does not surprise me. There is no bottom, it doesn't surprise me. This is where I could sit here and we could do an episode. Donald Trump and his administration did all this depraved shit. And then what I'm more interested in is what is the resistance doing? And the people that still support him, everyday Americans, are the people in their lives saying, do you see what he's doing?
2:46Do you see what you're supporting? Do you see that he is trying so hard to make you hate and scapegoat really hardworking, good people, whose restaurants you eat at, whose events you watch. And they want to blame this trans community or these drag queens or these books, because all of these rich pedophiles want to be richer and clearly want to sexually assault more people. Well, and they just want absolute control over everybody's thoughts, everybody's life, what they do in the bedroom. They want control of everything. And to that end, Jennifer has been sounding the alarm for months and months and months about ICE and the 2026 midterms.
3:31And so Kristi Noem, she just says it straight up. Here she is talking about how she wants the right people voting. And elections is another one of those critical infrastructure responsibilities that I have as well. And I would say that many people believe that it may be one of the most important things that we need to make sure we trust is reliable and that when it gets to election day that we've been proactive to make sure that we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country through the days that we have, knowing that people can trust it. First of all, the only people that don't trust the election are the people that you lied to and said the 2020 election was stolen.
4:14Like, this is not surprising, but this is stunning. We want the right people to vote. We want you to have your proof of citizenship before you vote. And I was reading all weekend about like the voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting is such a minuscule number. It's just here we go. I mean, 2026 midterms are going to be crazy. She's using implicitly intentional coded racist language there. Make no mistake about it. We want to make sure the right people are voting and electing the right type of candidate. This is fascism through and through. This is American racism through and through. Furthermore, the Republican Party has a decades long history of trying to suppress the vote.
5:05This is not new. The problem is now they've elected a conspiracy theorist, cheater, con man. And all of these people, what they all have in common is they all like to cheat. These oligarchs, they like cheating. They like to exploit human beings, not pay them a livable wage, not pay the same percentage per income that we all pay. And they still want the system rigged for them. A lot of these oligarchs have decided they don't like democracy anymore, so they want to cheat. They want to install a technocrat CEO-style guy. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, cheat. They just give these politicians all this money.
5:46Supreme Court makes sure they can cheat. They don't put their names on the ballot and run. You think Elon Musk could get elected the way Zoran Mamdani did? No. You think Peter Thiel could put his ass on a ballot with his billions of dollars on the count and he could win? No, he couldn't win. She's using intentional, implicit, racist language because the Republican Party for years has been machinating and moving towards cheating. And now the hoods are off on everything. The hoods are off on the racism. The hoods are off on the cheating. They're going to send eyes to election polls, specifically in immigrant and black communities.
6:24And this is where we have to be very, very coordinated that the voter turnout must be too big to rig because if they do that this time, then it's over. They forced a, you know, a constitutional dictatorship at that point. And we are not that far away from that. And many scholars believe we have already entered into the beginning stages of a dictatorship, which I think that's as obvious as anything. No, I agree with you on that. And then you see that the Trump administration, just what Jennifer was talking about, they are using the same language propaganda as the Nazis. So we have Mother Jones that has put this to the test.
7:10Many of the phrases, images, and attached media used by the Trump administration aren't just regular social media content. They repurpose language, symbolism, and cultural references with direct connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements. This goes exactly to what you're saying. And what makes me so crazy about this is you have them saying, don't call me a Nazi. Don't call me a fascist. And everything they do is on purpose. And I don't know if they just don't be like called names because they're such fragile egos, or they don't want the people that aren't paying attention to know how diabolical they are and what white supremacists they are.
7:53But to see that it's just all so linked is no surprise, but I mean, it's stunning to see that article. Yeah. I mean, I think that we knew this back when he did the rally at Madison Square Gardens during the campaign. And it was very mirroring Nazi language. And specifically, Stephen Miller's speech was very Nazi coded. And I think that the reason that they say don't call us fascists and don't call us Nazis is a whole part of the whole part of the scam that they're running. They want to be able to do whatever they want to do with complete impunity. They want to pretend like this, their wishes are that of the masses.
8:49And so that's a part of the scam that they're running. Everybody wants this. We want a mandate and the polls are higher than they've ever been. So they are trying to pull the wool over the American public's eyes that, oh no, this couldn't be, we couldn't be fascists and we couldn't be Nazis. But sometimes it slips up. Like you heard Josh, you know, Josh Hawley, this was a year and a half ago. He said, point blank, he said he was a Christian nationalist. Elon Musk did the Heil salute. When they get on mainstream media, like CNN, that's where they're most triggered by this, But in their own circles, on their own message boards, they all know they're Nazis.
9:31They all know they're fascists and they like it and they're proud of it. But they're a part of the ruse and a part of the authoritarian takeover is that they're trying to hoodwink and go, oh, this was democratic. Like, this is what everybody wants right now. And of course, the out to lunch democratic leadership right now is not fighting back because they all share the same corporate donors. Yeah, it's really stunning. And I think you're right. I think they know it, but they don't want anybody else to think it because they have this little joke. Yeah, we're Nazis. We're doing all this, but it's democratic.
10:08I think you make a great point. And then this just went all through me. The USAID, stopping funding USAID, I think we've heard reports that up to like 500 ,000 people died because they stopped giving food to the poorest, medicine to the sickest. So Project 2025 Architect, who promised to put federal agency employees in trauma, is spending$15 million of former USAID funding, many that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases, to bankroll his security detail. So it's just, we don't give a fuck about the poorest people. We don't care about the sickest people. What I care about is me, my security.
10:58And I'm not going to worry about how Congress allotted funds. I'm just going to take funds because I want them and because Trump's never going to say anything about it. So when I saw this, I just thought, of course, they don't want to help people. They want to protect themselves. That's just such a feature of this administration. they've never wanted to it's and it goes before this administration the republican party has always wanted to beat down any sort of social service safety net that helps those in need um the um church's feign like oh we're going to go to these third world countries and and spread christianity it it's all self-serving everything with these people is always self-serving this is not new with the republican party what's so new is the brazen lawlessness of it But the Republican Party has wanted to do this for a long time.
11:54That's why they're so excited about the idiot and the Trojan horse that they rode into the epicenter of the federal government on, because now that they're climbing out of that Trojan horse, they're able to do these long wanted desires of Republican politicians. And specifically, Russell Vaught is a big white Christian nationalist. This is a long desire of Christian nationalists to tear down the Constitution because they want a Christian nationalist white supremacist state. These people act like they care about poor people. They care about sick people. It's all a ruse. It's always been a ruse.
12:35They don't care about life. They don't care about kids. It's all just culture war shit to get you to hate other Americans. And with an assist from Russia and with an assist from an absolute dipshit as a president, all of these really diabolical people are crawling out of that Trojan horse. And Trump marched them right into the middle of the federal government. And Trump doesn't give a shit. He doesn't care about policy. He doesn't care about USAID. He is interested in vanity projects, whether it's about servicing his ego, servicing his grievances, servicing his interior design projects. That's the end.
13:14He's famously a non-reader. He's famously a non-intellect. He's famously a failed businessman. He's famously a con man. He's famously a thief. And now he has let all the criminals in to the United States government. And I, for the life of me, cannot understand where Democratic leadership is right now. That's a great point. All right.
