Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Moses Mike grinder Johnson has really been hitting the propaganda. Amanda, he is in front of the cameras nonstop, compulsively lying, gaslighting, projecting. It's almost like you guys, once they start breaking a little bit for Trump, then all of a sudden they get all of this momentum and they're completely broken. You may remember like a couple of weeks ago he was filming and he was very blushed, flushed and like almost he could feel the dishonesty that he's doing. I think we've kind of moved past that. And Midas Touch has put together a video. And this is Moses Mike Grinder Johnson speaking about Joe Biden, but it sounds exactly like he is describing Kanks.
0:55Play the clip. It was checked out of his job for quite some time and everybody knows it. And it was a cover up The people around him who were using, they would give him scripts to follow. They would point him literally in the direction, stand here, sir, wave like this. And he didn't know what he was signing. So this is an executive order on flag burning. So there's all sorts of just incredible implications. It sounds like a terrible novel or something, but this is reality. He pardoned categories of violent criminals and turned them loose on the streets. He is pardoning some 1 ,500 January 6 rioters who have been convicted for participating in the attack in the Capitol four years ago.
1:32A January 6 rioter who was pardoned by President Trump has been arrested and charged with making a credible death threat against Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. You can't allow a president to check out and have unelected, unaccountable, faceless people making massive decisions for the country. pups here's the thing about mike johnson oh i'm sorry moses mike grinder johnson i apologize he fucking lies with reckless abandon and i want to tell him your lord and savior put in the commandments thou shalt not lie so dude in addition to all your other shady shit we all see it. He is an abomination towards Christianity, towards people in general.
2:22And he has reduced his leadership in Congress to being that shit on the bottom of somebody's shoe. And also, let's just take a moment that the government is shut down. We have a man who who is able to brag about identifying a giraffe on a test that is in charge of the everything, like in charge of the entire federal government, right? And the government shut down. One man could make a difference. And that little man is little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson. He could have some conviction, but instead the government shut down. The poorest people in this country are going to hurt the most. And with most MAGA policies, they are exploiting off of the poor and the poor take the hits the most.
3:11And he is on television talking about Joe Biden. It is Joever. The Joe Biden shit is over. It is over. The buck stops with Kanks. And everything he said perfectly describes what Kanks is doing. And there's this interesting psychological case study that's like the more Kinks does something, the more they come out and project that the other side is doing. But every accusation is a confession and it's getting worse and worse. Here's little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson on Zoran Mondani. Play the clip. They fear the Marxist insurgents like Mondani more than they fear families and children going hungry.
4:05That's crazy. He says people fear a Marxist insurgent. And, you know, this is what the Democrats really, really need to message about how lame and tired and old and pathetic the fear mongering is from MAGA and from Republicans at large. Their default setting is to scare you. And in actuality, you should be very scared of their policies. And I think the question comes right now for a lot of Americans, you have to think about what they're doing in totality to the whole country and the cascading and generational effects this is going to have. So some white Americans in our socioeconomic group might not be affected right now, Pumps.
4:55But at some point, if this keeps going and they keep tearing this down, everybody will be affected from this. Even the very oligarchs that bend the knee have found out in Vladimir Putin's oligarchy that they get pushed out of windows and their companies get taken over. Nobody is safe with this shit. And I am just so tired of the pathetic, lazy, fear mongering. Well, here's the deal. A lot of these people are very simple people. They're very low information voters. And the Republicans are scaring them that illegal aliens are getting health insurance. That is a lie, but they don't take the time to check it out.
5:43And I've kind of, you know, I believe that Mike Johnson and the Republicans and Donald Trump, they like the fact that people will be hungry on Thanksgiving. I think they enjoy it because if they didn't, they could do something about it. this whole regime, as I look at it from bird's eye view, it's about hurting people and cruelty. It is so stunning that you have a speaker of the house that doesn't give a shit that 40 million people are going to be hungry. He doesn't care. All right. And then moving along here is Moses Mike talking about how tired he is with the government shutdown. Play the clip.
6:28In Washington, the work has gone on in earnest as well. People keep commenting to me, you look so tired on TV. I am so tired because we're not sleeping a lot. We're working overtime. Here in Washington, our House committees have continued to conference together and do all the work we can to ensure legislation. Okay. And then the Lincoln Project masterclass trolling says, up all night on Grindr, no doubt, because Johnson's saying he looks so tired. The lying and the comfort that these people get with lying, the more they capitulate to this evil regime is breathtaking. And you can look at like Marco Rubio at first, the first month of his tenure as secretary of state.
7:15You could see when they were browbeating and bullying Zelensky, you could see Marco like having a physical reaction to it. And the more they succumb to this regime, the worse and worse they get. And then it gets easier. And now we're at the state where for all of these players in this fascist regime, they are able to execute these lies and the disintegration of our Constitution with ease. And that is really, really chilling to me. Moving along, because little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson will not stand up for anything, the corruption in this administration is next level. Remember that these are the people pumps that lost their minds over Hunter Biden.
8:03They falsely claimed him of double dealing in Ukraine. But more recently, they got upset that he was an artist and he had an art show. Right. So put up this headline, this tweet. Ron Fulikowski of Midas Touch. Trump orgs income in the first half of 2024 was 51 million. And the first half of 2025, it rose to$864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics, but few even care. And this is what is so important. And I wish the Democrats at large would start messaging this, that they only have conviction or care about the appearance of double playing or double standards or dubious activity if it's their opponent.
9:00When they can enrich themselves and enrich their friends, they flagrantly do it and take victory laps and kind of say, yeah, we get to do it. Fuck you. What are you going to do about it? Well, and the answer clearly is they're not going to do anything about it. But when you look at going back to Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, all of those things, you look at this media echo chamber. They can't talk about what their economic policy is doing. They can't talk about health insurance policy because they don't have one. They can't talk about inflation numbers and on and on and on. So they're talking about Hunter Biden.
9:42They're talking about Hamburger Helper. They're talking with Kid Rock. They're lying to people because they know how unpopular their policies are. And I look at Trump and I'm like, is there a bigger example of accepting bribes? Like, I would think that would be the easiest, biggest layup of all time if we ever get an unbiased Justice Department, because I dare say that this is a violation of a gazillion laws. And this motherfucker is taking bribes out in the open and nobody's saying anything about it. All right. And then here we go. This is, you know, we have Moses Mike Johnson that's protecting billionaires and protecting pedophiles, the biggest one of which would be his boss, Kanks, who just identified successfully a giraffe on a piece of paper.
10:32And then you have these oligarchs who have ascended in capitalism. They have done a great job at being capitalist. And they feel like they are under attack. There is zero patriotism. There is zero gratitude for all of the American workforce that buys their product, puts all the labor hours in that helps their hedge funds make sense. None. They are billionaires and they feel like they should get more. And they are terrified of Zoran Mamdani, a mayor in New York City. And to think that these guys have never been vulnerable a day in their lives that they're scared of a mayor or a mayor. He's going to be mayor.
11:16There's still going to be checks and balances on this guy. But here is Bill Ackman, who is just a complete nut. I mean, zero gratitude, thinks the whole world, the presidency, everything should be catered to his personal interests and his opinion and his checkbook matters more than anybody else's on the planet. And David Sirota on Twitter has some really good analysis on this. Put this tweet up, Kylie. A group of literal oligarchs bewailing socialism at a gathering inside a kingdom ruled by an actual monarch is a bit too on the nose. And so Bloomberg TV reports that Bill Ackman says having a socialist mayor would be catastrophic.
11:58And he goes to an event in Saudi Arabia and he is so tone deaf and he absolutely does not understand the irony of him being in Saudi Arabia where this monarchy kills journalists, dismembers them, turns them into acid and pours them down the drain. And he has the audacity to walk into that country and say he's scared of Zoran Mamdani. It is so breathtaking that these billionaires are that entitled. And the lack of gratitude and saying, you know what, I've done really well with unregulated capitalism. And there are some billionaires like Warren Buffett who have pledged to give away like 99 % of their wealth.
12:47The ones that are clinging on and surrounding Donald Trump, these are really awful people. And it's making the case. Even for me, like I used to say, well, if somebody is a billionaire, they're a billionaire, but it's making the case that if, if being a billionaire makes you this big of a piece of shit and you think you're entitled to more, and you're so terrified, Bill Ackman, of paying 2 % more in taxes while Trump's big, beautiful, heaping pile of dog shit raised the taxes on the working class without raising their wages. You know, we're talking 10, 15 % on them, a working families insurance premiums could go up$25 ,000 a year.
13:33And Bill Ackman is having a stage five meltdown in Saudi Arabia, all places. Are you kidding me? All right. That's all we have for this episode, like subscribe pumps model our book. Here's our model linked right below in the show notes. We'll be back later with more news.
