1:05Gas prices are through the roof and Trump's approval rating is down to 31%. Just for reference, George W. Bush, his outgoing approval rating after the Great Recession and the quagmire that was the Iraq War, 32%. So he is lower than George W. Bush right now. And so there's no question that it's going to be a blue tsunami, whether we have great candidates or moderate candidates, whatever they are. People are going to vote against this. Not the cultists, but the majority of Americans will. So what does Trump do when he's cornered? He cheats. That's his default setting. Like, I'm going to cheat. And so the last thing he wants to do, which I think would be so delicious if it happened, is to get impeached because he's already been impeached twice.

1:55And he knows if there's a blue tsunami, if there is a Democratic Congress and a Democratic Senate, it's bye bye, like hit the bricks. You're out the door. And so he has tried gerrymandering all sorts of things. So he a couple of days ago goes into the office and he is trying to the Oval Office and he's trying to crack down on mail in voting. And, you know, he signs executive orders like a kid eats pest candy. So pop this up, Kylie. Mark Elias, the country's top election attorney, posts President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order Tuesday targeting mail-in voting and escalating his long-running effort to restrict voting access ahead of the 2026 midterms.

2:42So what we see right now is he's in the throes of a manic episode, and it is going to turn into more and more fuckery as we get closer. And please remember that people surrounding him, people in his camp have said that, and even sitting US senators like James Lankford have said, we will send ICE to the polling stations. The last time something like this was done in our country was when the KKK was sent to polling stations to intimidate Black voters. So this is their version of Make America Great Again. But Mark Elias immediately swung into action, put up this post, Kylie. He says, this is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail.

3:35We know where this will go, the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win. So this is what they want to do. They want to tell the MAGA base and people in middle America, oh, immigrants are voting. Nobody illegal is voting. I mean, they have done test after test, research after research. They find like very few cases. A lot of times they're Republicans voting twice somewhere. It's usually some magnet. And they're going to scare everyone that this is happening and they're going to disenfranchise so many blue voters. So the fix is in, like the fix that the Trump administration wants to interfere with our elections is in.

4:22And this is the next step. This is his coup de grace. This is where he wants to stick the landing. He has a ballroom to build. He has an arch to build. He has all of these vanity projects. The last thing he wants to do is face accountability. And here's a video of Trump commenting on his executive order. Play the clip. The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It's horrible what's going on. And it's very clearly covered, very, very clearly. So I think this will help a lot with elections. Okay. The reason why he's so obsessed with mail-in voting is because Joe Biden, during the COVID pandemic, Democrats voted, you know, I think it was 8 million more votes and Trump lost.

5:16And he's never going to get over that. That broke him. That caused January 6th. It causes him this fixation that he was, Joe Biden kicked his ass in this election. And mail-in voting was a big source of that. All legal, all 100 % available. But let me explain it to you like this. In a democracy, if you're a healthy democracy, really good examples of democracy around the world give people the day off to vote or make it compulsory to vote and make it easy for voter. You have a month to fill in your mail-in ballot. Republicans always have to go for voter suppression tactics. Why? because their policies suck.

5:58Because every single time we get a Republican as president, the exact same things happen. They go out, lie to the voters, these minorities or these drag queens or these illegals, they're taking something from you. We're really good businessmen. We are going to make sure that wealth trickles down to you. You can trust the good old white guys. So people go, you know, they get scared and they go vote for these Republicans. And then it always happens, recession and wars. It's like, it's not a bug. It's a feature of Republican presidencies. And so they know that their policies are not popular. This is why there's even a two-term amendment in the constitution because FDR's policies of delivering for the American public were so, so popular.

6:46They were like, we can't have this. We can't have everybody in the country understanding that government actually can efficiently work for them. So ever since that, they have been working to actively dismantle it. And a huge part of this is being able to disenfranchise voters. And so this is Trump's, he's a cheater by nature. I think he paid somebody to take his SATs. I mean, he lies nonstop. So this is going to get a million times worse. But as always, these MAGA people, including their dear leader, they're such hypocrites. They're such hypocrites. Guess who votes by mail? Pop this up. Trump.

7:29Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. Also Trump. Votes by mail in Palm Beach County, Florida special election. And I want to note for you all, that seat that he voted in flipped. In Mar-a-Lago country, a Democrat won. And he endorsed the Republican. He endorsed the MAGA candidate. And a Democrat came in and won that seat. And so, of course, this is typical Republican policy. We can do what we want to do. Look no further than Kristi Noem and her husband, Big Titty Brian. They can lie to the public and say they have a godly marriage and they support only traditional marriage and they can oppress the LGBTQ plus community.

8:14Meantime, she's banging Corey Lewandowski and he's into wearing big tits and that's his kink. And again, I don't care. It's the hypocrisy that is so maddening. But OK, you guys know Steve Bannon is a big Trump thumper, right? And he is the one who has, we played you video of him saying, we are going to have ice at the polls. We're going to make sure that Trump serves another term. I mean, he outwardly says the quiet part out loud nonstop. Well, a lot of these MAGA populists that didn't quite go neocon tilt. So I'm talking about like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon. These people are Christian nationalists.

8:53These people are insane, but they understand that a populist message is something that the electorate is really primed for right now. And there is also this anti-war factor of this. Typically, when the United States goes to war, a president's approval rating rises somewhat because they feel like, oh, we need to be unified. We need to be patriotic. this instance where Trump has invaded Iran via airstrikes with their partner Israel, his approval rating is going down. When George W. Bush invaded Iraq, his approval ratings went up, even though they were lying about it, even though there was reporting that he was attacking the wrong country.

9:39So he is underwater like nobody's business. So Steve Bannon is a political strategist, And it's interesting to watch the heir appearance of MAGA because they try to walk this line where they don't criticize Trump at all because they know they need that cultist base. So they just criticize all of his policies without like naming him. And so Steve Bannon, pop this up, Kylie. The Jerusalem Post post former White House advisor and key figure in the MAGA movement. Steve Bannon has called on the United States Department of Homeland Security to deport Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, and sent him to fight in Iran.

10:27and Steve Bannon said, turf him out tomorrow. So here's something that you all really need to be focused on right now. Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene. For a lot of people that live in flyover America that hear just a simple message like that, they'll be like, yeah, fuck that. Send that guy. Don't send Americans. Or if they say, we lost our way. We're not America first anymore. They'll be like, yeah, fuck that. Yeah, let's do it. Wrapped up in the messaging with Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson is an awful lot of bigotry. These people are full blown Christian nationalists and they are looking to see who can get executive power next because they never want to hand it back to a Democrat.

11:14That's what unites them. So they are liars. Tucker Carlson has lied multiple times and said he was attacked by demons in his sleep. Think about that. And he is one of the top thought leaders in the Republican Party right now. So these little messages from the right, although they kind of feel good, they are planting the seeds for the post-Trump regime. And these people do not care about raising wages for Americans. They do not care about anything other than it all goes back to the money and keeping that corrupt economic system in place. And along this same line of thoughts, Glenn Greenwald has a prediction for 2028.

12:03Pop this up. Glenn Greenwald predicts an anti-Israel GOP presidential candidate in 2028. And he says, I hope it's Tucker. And so this is just a really, really dangerous thing. And I think Glenn Greenwald's prediction could be spot on. The problem that I have with the Tucker Carlson's of the world is number one, he's insane. All right. So one message of he's anti-Israel, the Israeli government, that type of messaging is going to hit really hard and fly over states where people don't have health care, where people are struggling to make gas in their car. And what's happening here is Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Steve Bannon are outwardly right now the anti-war voices.

12:58Because in the Democratic Party, they have decided to delay a vote on the war until mid-April. So you don't ever really see an opposition party. And I'm terrified if Tucker Carlson is president, because I think George W. Bush incubated Trump, and Trump's going to incubate something far worse. I mean, Tucker Carlson is the one that calls gay people the F-slur, F-A-G-G-O-T, just casually. He's a bigot to his core, and Trump is too, but this is next level. This is younger. This is a straight line to Nick Fuentes. And when When these MAGA leaders are outflanking Democrats by calling out our support of Israel, the blank check of a country that commits genocide, is now committing war crimes in Lebanon.

13:54We are their co-partner in committing war crimes in Iran. And Democrats aren't calling that out. and Democrats are not like standing on the steps of the Capitol every night demanding a vote on this war, putting everyone on record, they're allowing this lane to open up. And it is just incredibly dangerous. So my reason for bringing this up is it's so important that we apply pressure to the Democratic leaders that we have to be an opposition party. And oftentimes, scholars tell us that liberals will collaborate with fascists to keep the economic, the corrupt economy in place. And I think that's what we're seeing right now with the Democratic leadership, with Chuck Schumer, with Hakeem Jeffries.

14:40They are fascist collaborators. And while they are being fascist collaborators, you have a Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Tucker Carlson, making a point in a 60 second clip online that they are anti-war or Steve Bannon. Yeah, send Netanyahu's kid, deport that motherfucker. And all the MAGA people or forgotten Americans that have to work so hard and pay their fair share in taxes. So the billionaires, Elon Musk, Tesla paid zero tax dollars last year. So that's going to hit really hard. And so the point of this is to apply pressure to all democratic politicians to be outwardly anti-war and to criticize our partner, Israel, in this.

15:24We cannot give a country that commits war crimes a blank check. All right, that's all I have. Please like, subscribe, and we'll be back later with more news.
