0:04All right, little Moses Mike grinder Johnson is just somebody that kind of fascinates me if he weren't so boring. To me, it's really easy to see like this guy's wildly indoctrinated into evangelical Christianity, very, very shame based religion. He has some internal secrets, some internal skeletons that he is trying to mask and he feels like he is not right with God. So how is he going to get right with God? He is going to collude with God's imperfect vessel, won Cankel's McTaco tits. And he believes that if he delivers America to God, then all of his secrets and skeletons will be fine. And I think this is a problem with a lot.

0:52I think this is a problem with a lot of Supreme Court justices. They're all trying to get right with God because there's something broken inside them as though if there is a higher power, if there is some, that that's what he wants, America to be Christian. I mean, that's such a human controlling, ridiculous thought. But nonetheless, here we have a rare bit of footage where Speaker Johnson, little grinder, appears to be slightly uncomfortable with Donald Trump. And I've never really seen him show anything other than obsequious, effusive praise on the man. Play the clip. We had one man who was very ill.

1:32It looked like he wasn't going to make it. I don't know. I don't I won't mention his name. Should I do other people know his name? Do you want to mention it? He'll be proud. Go ahead. Tell him. Tell him this story. OK. Well, thank you, Mr. President. Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges and it was very serious and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president. I said, Congressman Don is a real champion and a patriot because he's still coming to work. And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire. What was the diagnosis?

2:04It was, I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis. He would be dead by June. OK, that wasn't public. But yeah, OK, that's it was grim. So they're all kind of sitting there, you know, glad handing about this. Basically, the only reason Trump helped him, you guys, with his health crisis is because he wanted his vote. And then it's just a political op right now in this moment for him to go, he would have been dead, but I helped him. He makes it about him. Well, and he did, he said straight up like, well, you know, I need his vote. It wasn't, it's just what's so stunning about all this is they sit up there and Donald Trump is such a turd.

2:48I mean, just such a prick. He does not care somebody's dying as long as he gets their vote. And Mike Johnson, who is so pathetic, he and Pam Bondi are just, haha, it's so funny. These people have no empathy whatsoever. They have no feelings. And I think that it has to do with the, they're kind of the leaders of a larger cult within the United States right now. When we look at Hegseth, we look at little Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson, we look at Pam Bondi and the disdain that she treated rape victims that were children when they were raped. And it really represents a larger portion of the electorate because we live in a, I mean, Trump won.

3:32He won this last presidential race and he elected appointed people in his cabinet that his base would love. And these people mirror the MAGA base and to the Democrats who are like, we need to offer MAGA an off ramp. These people are going to realize they've made a mistake. You're projecting your normal thoughts about compassion and empathy and common sense onto people who have no interest in any of those things. These people will never, ever, ever vote for a Democrat. Three months ago, Polling showed that 20 % of Republicans supported a strike on Iran. Now it's 90. They believe in nothing. These people are complete shape shifters.

4:24Whatever Fox News and Trump is saying an hour before, that's what they believe in. And then if Fox News does a 180 the next day, that's what they believe in. These people believe in nothing. They are stripped of their humanity. And therefore, When this government actively strips people of their humanity and actively dehumanizes people, they like it. They feast on it because they don't have humanity because this cult that they're in has robbed them of their own humanity. Moving along, speaking of cultists, we have Kristi Noem, the puppy killer, the cosplayer, the woman who's had a decade-long affair with Corey Lewandowski despite telling the world that she's in a godly marriage.

5:14Pop this up. Kristi Noem referred for criminal investigation after lying under oath about a$220 million vanity scheme. So this is where this whole thing is going to get really, really interesting. Because all of these people from Kanks all the way down have been operating at his behest. And he is operating with impunity because he has immunity. The Supreme Court gave him immunity. And I don't think the Supreme Court is going to buck him. I don't think there's a world where they're going to really, really stand up and be a guardrail for him. So all of these players with Trump, how are they going to survive?

6:03So she knows that she needs a pardon. She knows that she needs one. But she was disloyal. She was the first member who was actively disloyal and he humiliated her in a humiliation ritual. So is, as she's referred, number one, I doubt Pam Bondi is going to do that much. No. But does Trump use this to fuck with her to make sure she doesn't rattle off about other members of the cabinet? 100%. I think he lords this over her head. I do not think when he fired her, he went ahead and just signed the pardon right then in case she needs it later. I think that his, you know, you're going to be the new Avengers, captain of peace, whatever.

6:48I think that was a hook. But I believe that he is going to hold the pardon over all of these members' head. I don't think it's going to be an organized, here's the list of all the people that committed crimes. We're going to pardon them before we go out the door. No, no, no, no. I think he is going to absolutely hold this over their heads, one million percent. Okay. And then here is Trump being questioned about the new Ayatollah in Iran. Play the clip.

7:39And there's another report that he may actually be gay despite the theocracy that hangs gay people. How do you determine what's true? And do you have an assessment of this? Well, so far, nobody knows. If you look at his father, he used to give talks a lot, you know, talking about death to America. He'd say death to America all the time. When they say death to America, you should believe them because that's what they would have. If they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it. But they never had the chance. I never gave them the chance to use it. Okay, so this is just something that dropped in the news cycle yesterday, that Trump was advised that the new Ayatollah was gay.

8:16Now, would it surprise me if people deeply embedded in a religious cult or in said religious cult to mask for some internal feelings that they have of inadequacy or not conforming to predictive norms? would surprise me zero. I started off this episode with little Moses, Mike Grander Johnson. I mean, these things are ubiquitous in cults like this. But here's the thing that I want to say, okay, Iran says death to America. And they say it all the time. And they've been saying it my entire life. Grow a pair, Americans. Like you want to be, you want to have this hegemony. You want to be the superpower.

8:58People are going to say death to America, especially when you look at our provocative, a lot of times very destabilizing foreign policy when we get on the high horse that we are bringing democracy to the Middle East and it's going to flourish. And we think we know what's best for everybody. It's really no different, a lot of our foreign policy than that of the Christian missionaries, which I think is just such an arrogant thing. These missionaries, in order to make themselves feel like they're good Christians, white saviors, They say, oh, we're going to go to South America. We're going to go to Africa.

9:32We're going to bring the message of Jesus to these poor brown people. It's really this white supremacist roots of arrogance and hubris billowing out of the missionaries that do this when it's not their business what these people believe. And as it pertains to the United States, we always decide, oh, we need to install a new government. We need to do a regime change. We need to do this. We need to do that. We have spent something like$8 trillion on wars in the Middle East. For what? How on earth has any of this benefited the person who lives in suburban or rural Oklahoma? How has any of this benefited those people?

10:19Other than they say, oh, look, they say death to America. Grow up here. Who gives a shit what they say? use diplomacy and quit being such a pussy. I mean, seriously. And no wonder now, I mean, they said dead to America. And what does America do? Tomahawk to a little girl's school. So gee, I wonder why they say that. Huh? I wonder if Captain Obvious can clue in now and tell us why people might hate America and people might hate American foreign policy. And it is because everything that Trump is doing is what people from foreign countries have thought about America. The worst impulses, loud, obnoxious, entitled, no better than everybody, doesn't give a shit about what happens to anybody else except for them, projecting all of our dysfunction onto other countries.

11:12He is the manifestation of every critique that everybody has ever had about the United States of America and about Americans, he has manifested and materialized and served up on the global stage. And now they're all like, yeah, we always knew you were like this. Now you just finally elected the worst portions of American culture. Now those portions are governing. So now your whole arc is complete. Well, and you look at all the constitutional rights violations going on in the United States. And it's like, you really are not in a position to lecture us on the protest. I remember Trump was so mad.

11:54He went all over social media about the Iranian protesters being arrested. I'm like, you're doing the same thing. It is the exact same thing. Banning books. You can only have a certain religion. He is doing everything that he's mad at Iran doing, including now they're going after gay rights and gay marriage in his administration. So please do not lecture the rest of the world when the United States is going against their citizens in the very same capacities, in my opinion. Yeah. And this is a big argument that supporters of Israel have used for a long time. They say, oh, they throw gay people off a building.

12:39So therefore, we are the moral savior in this scenario. And if you look at what Israel does, they kill everybody. And so it's so insulting, intellectually insulting to say, we treat gays really well. And Palestine or Iran treats them terrible. And they do. Human rights organizations would agree that Iran is horrible, horrible human rights violator. But so is Saudi Arabia, our BFF, that every president bends the knee to. But this notion that somehow Israel and the United States are going to be the saviors for the LGBTQ plus community is total bullshit. When they're bombing schools, bombing hospitals, statistically, there were gay people in there.

13:29So it's just insane. And then Trump was talking to Paul, Logan Paul or somebody the other day about, oh, yeah, we're really great with the gays. And it's like, actually, you're not. You're not. Your military, your administration, your Speaker of the House, your Vice President, all of these people are abhorrent homophobes. And it's one thing if they were just passively homophobic at their house. These people want laws to dramatically change the progress that the LGBTQ plus movement has enacted. And this civil rights movement has been so successful, the progress of the LGBTQ plus people. It has been so wildly successful that now somebody like Scott Besson has the luxury of standing on the shoulders of Harvey Milk and deciding to be a fascist for these demon queens like Scott Besson, like Tim Cook.

14:25They are going to find out very quickly when everything starts to fall down. The first people that are going to get thrown under the bus by these white Christian nationalists will be the gays, will be the brown-skinned Kash Patels, the women. It's just ridiculous how safe they think they are with these fascists. All right, listener, as you know, there is so much noise around weight loss, like trends, opinions, medications.

He has the sirens.

16:31Trump tells his supporters, you must worship the never Trump or neocon Mark Levin, or you are excommunicated from MAGA. And I want to remind you, Mark Levin is who Marjorie Taylor Greene and Megyn Kelly are now calling micro penis Mark, which I support them in that. It's the only time I ever support them. If Trump is trying to commit political suicide and hand the Congress over to the Democrats, he is doing an excellent job. And this is just these MAGA influencers know that we have dementia duck in office. They are already shifting to keep the MAGA movement alive. And you're going to start hearing the drumbeat over and over and over.

17:15It was never the man. It was always the movement. This is going to get louder and louder and louder. And the cult is still very much with Trump. But I think after some time of these influencers, which a lot of the base consumes quite a bit of, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing some receding in that 90 % support for him. I think over the course of the next few months, we might see some peelback. I don't know, maybe I'm being optimistic. Every time I think there's going to be a peelback, there never is. I thought surely the Epstein files, he's mentioned over a million times. These are the people that have been banging the drum about what's going on in the Epstein files.

17:53And now they're like, well, it happened a long time ago. We're not sure. So I think you're optimistic. But all I see is the America First people influencers, they are madder than hornets. So you would have to think that there would start to be real change. But again, I'm not going to. Well, and here's the thing we all have to realize, like, this is something that Democrats need to really actively understand and process. If they start to get off the Trump train, they are not all of a sudden, pro-democracy, pro-human rights. They're probably going to go to something darker. They're probably being incubated for something far darker.

18:36And so when you look at what Reagan incubated to Bush, what Bush incubated to Trump, what is Trump incubating? And so while people, he may lose support, there's never going to be this aha moment for this group of Americans that so many people desperately want to understand. And it's a very simple way to understand them. They are brainwashed, amoral, immoral cultists. These people only care about the people connected to them DNA wise, if even that. A lot of these people have gay kids and have kicked them down the curb. A lot of these people are actively active abusers. These are really, really broken people.

19:21And they're probably always going to be broken. This is why education and health care are so helpful for a society. and if you look at what these people oppose the most, it is education and healthcare. They wanna keep you poor, they wanna keep you sick, they wanna keep you in poverty so they can keep you brainwashed and broken. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
