Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04i'm maga believes in absolutely nothing they believe in absolutely nothing these are the people who have been screaming state's rights. Don't tread on me. Second Amendment, et cetera. No large federal government, no federal police force, 180 on everything. There is not one issue that the Republican slash MAGA party has not done a 180 on. Not one. Put this up, Kylie. Okay. Turnbull tweets the following, because they're wound up about a guy who has his rifle in his front yard in Minnesota. Amendments to the Constitution that MAGA no longer believes in. First Amendment, freedom of religion, speech, press, protest, and petition.
0:49We all know that they do not think the cabal of liberal wine moms should not be able to tell an ICE officer, go get some lunch, big boy, without her wife getting executed at point blank rage. They think that freedom of religion, speech, press, they're not for that. Right to keep and bear arms. Now, all of a sudden, the big Second Amendment, don't tread on me, people, wound up about this guy right here who has his rifle on his property. Fourth Amendment, no unreasonable search and seizures. We've all seen, you can get on Instagram for 2.5 seconds, and you can see that. Fifth Amendment, fair process and criminal cases.
1:28We know they don't believe in that. Eighth Amendment, no excessive fines or cruel punishment. and the 10th Amendment powers belong to the states and not the people, which is where I have to say like a governor like Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, big Christian, big American, you know, always running on Jesus and souped up patriotism, votes for a pedophile grifter, alleged pedophile grifter, Donald Trump, and acts like he wants states right so much, but he sees what's happening up in Minnesota and it's crickets, crickets, because these people believe in nothing. They believe in nothing. They believe in their political careers going forward.
2:16They believe in putting themselves above the people that they were elected to protect. And it just, this to me was the perfect caption of just what big hypocrites MAGA is because they are, gods and guns all day long. This guy's on his property with the gun and it's a fucking meltdown. It makes no sense. These are people that would rather die than have to give up their guns. They think their guns are so important. They take Christmas card pictures with them, yet they're mad at this guy. The hypocrisy and honestly, the stupidity. We're for little government, but we're going to ban books. We don't want you to end up to grade our kids in school, So we're going to abolish education.
3:03I mean, like all the shit they say and do is just ignoramus type stuff. It's idiocracy on steroids. And I agree with you. These politicians believe in nothing, but they believe in self-preservation and they believe in their political careers. And I think they believe they know they can't get jobs other than these elected offices because they're so incompetent. But we as the American people, we've allowed this because a part of us didn't pay attention or became single issue voters. Like we elected a man that is running around crying because he wants a Nobel Peace Prize and threatens war because he didn't get it.
3:47That's how stupid the situation we're in now. But it was completely predictable because this man has told us who he was since he came down the escalator. And, you know, 77 million people bought the grift. So I wasn't just referring to politicians who don't believe in anything. I was talking about all of MAGA. So I agree with you that the politicians believe they need to get reelected again. But Kevin sits a lame duck. How does that speak for all of the 77 million you just mentioned? I'm talking about them. They don't believe in anything. They're willing to flip something, a deeply held belief on a dime.
4:27The politicians are merely a representation of the electorate at large. The political numbers of politicians are so small. I'm far more concerned about the cancer group in American culture where these people genuinely don't believe in anything and here's something to illustrate my point put this up kylie so you have gunter eagleman not a politician big maga influencer online and he writes this is my neighborhood a liberal man with a rifle stands outside a home in saint paul to protect his neighbors from ice and then he writes lock him up of course there's a tweet for everything And we have Gunter Eagleman in 2024.
5:13It's called the Second Amendment dipshit. So this is just, there is a massive problem with these people. And I, in my opinion, living in a Bible belt state around evangelical Christians, the moral duplicity in which they live is staggering. It always kind of took my breath away that on the one hand, they would, you know, wear their crosses, diamond encrusted crucifixes and talk about going to Bible study and talk about Jesus and their own personal relationship with Jesus and how fastidiously they were working on that. Well, at the same time, if you mentioned somebody struggling with health care or a case of racism or an instance of homophobia or an instance of suffering, absolutely don't care.
6:06there's just there's absolutely no interest in it whatsoever and so when your religion teaches you not to really care about anything and i'm not talking about all christians i'm talking about these white christian nationalists these mega church attendees um then it's like yeah the situation is they want guns they don't want liberals to have guns it's okay if they have a gay kid, but they don't want any liberal having a gay kid. They'll abuse their gay kid and not speak to them for months on end on their own terms. But it's different when a liberal has one. And so there is a cancer that is permeated in American culture.
6:49And it is these people that are really souped up on politicizing religion and nationalism. And then you break it down and And they support covering up for pedophiles and or pedophiles. I mean, in Alabama, in 2016, 2017, Trump endorsed a Senate candidate who was a pedophile. And the Democrat just barely beat him. I mean, like the Republicans will go out and vote for a pedophile because they don't care, because they don't believe in anything. From the inception of their life, they've been so religiously and spiritually abused and lied to that sets up the psychological soil for them to fall right into this nihilism and hyper helicopter codependent activity where everybody's so interested in what everybody else is doing while at the same time claiming, oh, we embrace a free country.
7:49We're all about freedom. And it's like, no, you're not. You don't, you don't, you stand for nothing. There's zero conviction, which is my biggest pet peeve. When people don't walk the walk, talk the talk and have convictions and the Republican party, the MAGA party has none of that zero. Well, I would, I would agree with you wholeheartedly on the Christian narcissism that they can demean people. But I think there's another crisis. And I say this from personal experience growing up in an indoctrinated evangelical circle, this is a huge lack of critical thinking. Not being taught critical thinking, and I went to college, I went to law school, but your ability to dismiss and have cognitive dissonance about things and being unable to apply critical thinking to things that you don't like, for me, I see that as part of the crisis too.
8:47They just are not putting A and B together because they've never been taught how to do it. And I had to learn it later in life. I will add that, that in the instance of you, before you deconstructed your faith, you were a critical thinker. You were just, you suspended critical thinking when it came to certain subjects. So you were able to critically think about so many things when we were analyzing your husband or my husband, or, you know, our friend that was, you know, acting all crazy or whatever. There's a lot of critical thinking there. It's the suspension, willful suspension of critical thinking on certain points that I think we have to zero in on.
9:26It's, it's, they willfully suspend critical thinking because critically thinking about something which they've gone all chips in on is too painful for them to realize they're wrong about it. There's too much pain associated with that form of critical thinking. All human beings are able to critically think. MAGA willfully suspends critical thinking, especially these triple Trumpers right now. And we're going to have to realize after they've triple Trumped and they've seen the depravity grabbed by the pussy, Trump saying on Howard Stern that his cutoff age for sexual intercourse with a female would be the age 12.
10:03they voted for him three times. He tried to overthrow the federal government and have his vice president hung. And these people voted for him three times. So in analyzing what's happening right now, as we watch the news every single day, the horror, it is willful, willful suspension of critical thinking. These people are not off the hook. They are able to critically think. They choose to willfully not critically think because it would be too painful and they don't have enough emotional depth to absorb and be self-deprecating to say, God, I made a mistake here. They don't have those layers in them.
10:46And then this is like the person while Donald Trump is doing all of this and all of these evangelicals are worshiping Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, who pumps and I just, and I know y 'all share with us the hatred for this guy. He's so gross. His wife's disgusting. I mean, just a disgusting, disgusting couple that, that, that is so recreationally cruel, like their hobby. Like my husband and I like to go on walks and like play fetch and just do really boring shit. We like to go shopping. Katie and Stephen Miller, you guys, for their like activities, they like recreational cruelty. I mean, these people are so gross.
11:28Stephen Miller always sounds like the biggest blowhard. You know, I think he's about, you know, five foot tall, no disrespect to short men, but he puts this up, Kylie popped this up. The White House deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller claims that local and state police in Minneapolis have been ordered to quote, stand down and surrender to the feds. Okay. Surrender? Like, what is he talking about? This is the, we support the police, the blue line. These are the people that go fucking bananas. And it's all bullshit. The through line is these people believe in nothing. A year ago, 13 months ago, they were all for the police and not for a strong federal police state.
12:19And just 13 months later, it's a 180 puss out titty baby convention. It's unbelievable how sickening these people are. I mean, Stephen Miller's a straight up Nazi, full stop. I mean, everything he says is Nazi-esque. And I just, you know, he's on last week saying, you know, ICE agents have absolute immunity. That's a fucking lie. That is a lie. The surrendering, you know, police need to surrender. That is a lie. He's a Nazi. Like, I don't know what else to say about him. He is a craven, cruel, vile person that is hates and cruelty is just where his heart beats. And he is a Nazi. That's just what it is.
13:06I agree, Pumps. Completely agree. Sometimes putting things simpler is better. And that's just the truth about this man. moving along we have this whole thing about minnesota it's not about immigration you guys it's nothing to do with immigration and for the hate watchers that now we know we have this right wing um people that watch us so they can clip us up to feed their hive mind information about the liberal white women who i guess they think it hurts our feelings if you call us trans people which I think would be a compliment because what trans people have to go through. More courage. Yeah, a lot more courage than Elon Musk.
13:48But anyway, pop this up. Red State, Texas has 2.1 million undocumented immigrants. Red State, Florida has 1.6 million. Blue State, Minnesota has only 130 ,000 immigrants. That's from Brad on Twitter. And I think this is a really important thing. As they tell you this is about immigration, it's not. This is about Stephen Miller trying out the police state because they are, two things can really F these people. Two scenarios are going to be like doomsday for Stephen Miller. Number one, Trump dies. No pardons issued. They're fucked, right? Fucked. Elon's fucked. Stephen Miller's fucked. Marco Rubio's fucked.
14:37All of them. Okay. The second scenario is that the turnout is too big to Rick. It's so massive. It's a massive, massive blue tsunami. And so all of this stuff with Minnesota, in my opinion, is to try out this police state to get people scared. And at the end of the day, don't be scared of these people. Like Stephen Miller is so scared. He moved to a military base. Elon Musk is online chronically hysterical. The man is hysterical. He's hysterically online talking about how oppressed and scared he is. He is the biggest titty baby on the planet. Do not let these people scare you because it is so important that we fight for the America that we believe in, that we still feel, that we still experience when we're out in it, where we see immigrants and we see people of color and we hear people that might speak a different language and where we embrace multiculturalism.
15:42That place is still here. They're trying to suffocate it out, but these people never win. They might win the short-term battles, but they're not going to win the overall culture war of this. There's no fucking way. You know, history is never kind to book banners and Gestapo. But you know, something that I've been reading about, and this might be my own, like, alarmist, because I'm just alarmed all the time. But Trump is building this bunker underneath this East Wing. And I have this in my head that he, if he is impeached, let's say the Dems went, if he is impeached, he's going to sit in that bunker and nobody's going to be able to get him out.
16:27He's going to just, he will not come out. Good. Just lock him in. We can't worry about that. Right. Okay. And then when he's in a bunker, just lock him in there. Let all, let all, you know, cause he probably can't pardon Stephen Miller from the bunker either. And here's my other thought that this gives me hope. This is how bad it's gotten that this is what gives me hope. Trump can issue all the pardons he wants to. That is for federal crimes and federal crimes only. My guess is that you can make a state criminal charge against Kristi Noem, this Greg Bovino, Stephen Miller. I'm hopeful that Trump's pardon cannot protect these people from state accountability.
17:11Maybe that's a fantasy. Okay. Moving along. This is what's really important. This is not about immigration. for Donald Trump and the oligarchs surrounding him. And remember, these guys have everything and it's still not enough, you guys. It's not enough. Pop this up. Just 34 people, 34, control 12 % of the income in the United States and people still think immigrants are the problem. You guys, 34 people control 12%. It's insane. The Republican Party, with an assist from Democratic presidencies in between, have lied to you. They have lied to you. Wealth is never going to trickle down, ever. These oligarchs, where you are their customer base, you are the reason that they are billionaires.
18:12your money and or your taxpayer money that has subsidized them to the tunes of hundreds of billions of dollars contracts in the case of Elon Musk. And they're still mad at you. They still think you shouldn't have health care. They still think it shouldn't be easy for you to vote. They don't understand what it's like to go take your kids to school in the morning, then make it to work. Then a kid's sick. Then you got to go get the kid, take the kid to a relative's house. If you have any that are living or to a neighbor to watch the kids, so you can go back to work. and then you've got to go pick up your kids.
18:44Then you have to go stand in a line and try to vote. Elon Musk wants to make it harder for you to be able to do that because he doesn't understand that experience. He doesn't understand that the majority of people that aren't those 34 people have been poor, have been working class, have really, really had a struggle and are just looking for moments of kindness, of serenity, or looking for somebody in this country to stand up, maybe a billionaire, who says, you know what? I've got enough. I've got enough. But what will never fix me is watching my fellow Americans suffer. Have you seen one of them do that?
19:27No, they don't do it. Nobody has conviction. You see a few Democratic politicians, but majority of them, Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, are they a resistance? No, they're playing patty cake with these guys because they all have the same corporate donors. And so that's what the whole thing is about. That's what it's all about. And so as we move towards these midterms, It's really important that you don't have to have somebody agree with you about everything, about every single thing. But what is important is that we agree that billionaires need to pay their fair share in taxes. Gavin Newsom, the 2028 frontrunner, has said he doesn't think that they should.
20:19It's really important that we say our taxpayer money shouldn't pay to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent children in Gaza while the children here have cancer and their parents are going bankrupt. It's just a very simple thing to say. It doesn't matter. You don't have to go back three decades to explain it. You only have to stay in the now, present tense. And so if the politicians aren't going to do this and they're not going to deliver simple messages. We have to do it. And we have to get candidates that primary these people. And Zoran Mamdani has just shown that it can be done. And the one thing that Donald Trump has shown us, the one thing Donald Trump has shown Democrats is that you don't have to govern incrementally.
21:06That was also a lie. We've been lied to by corporate Democrats that told us, can't rock the boat. We have to govern incrementally. No, that was all bullshit. And so with the same velocity that they've dismantled the country, we have to, when we get it back, rapid speed, lightning speed, velocity, restore, but restore it mainly in an FDR style way. restore it for decades with embracing unions, embracing the worker, embracing the guy who isn't chronically online, acting like he's so oppressed, like Elon Musk is. Maybe embrace the good old guy that works 10 hours a day, comes home, cracks his beer, slaps his wife on the ass, maybe gets his nut off later if he's lucky.
22:01He's a good dad, a good guy, and does it all underpaid, overworked because he wants his kids to have health insurance. Maybe we should fight for that guy instead of these 34 billionaires that have not one of them, not one of them has stood up and said, I'm going to stand up for my customer base and for my country against this clown that wears a full face of makeup every day while all of his acolytes lecture everybody about masculinity. All right, that's all we have for today's episode. Please like, subscribe, and comment, and we will be back later with more news.
