Trump Admin Collapses As New Illegal Boat Strike Evidence Comes to Light

0:04The Department of Defense is an absolute catastrophe under Pete Hegseth who is a Fox News narcissist who has absolutely no business, no competence, no skill set to run such a massive, massive organization. And so he's playing toy soldier and he is blowing up votes, basically committing war crimes and murder. Kylie, pop up the first video. An update from our Capitol Hill producers here. I'm told that the briefings just ended on the House side and that Democrat Congressman Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intel Committee, came out, spoke to media and said they were shown the unedited video of that second strike.

0:47And he says, quote, what I saw in that room is one of the most troubling scenes I've ever seen in my time in public service. So that there is reaction. Okay. So at the heart of this is that they are dropping bombs on fishing boats that they think are drug smugglers, and that's not the way it's supposed to go. And then there are survivors clinging on to wreckage, and allegedly Pete Hexeth says, kill them all, which is against every rule of engagement and is basically cold-blooded murder. So some people in the house have been able to see this second video. And that's what that journalist was talking about, Congressman Hines, saying it was one of the more disturbing things he's ever seen in his life in public office.

1:38And now there's more evidence mounting that Pete Hegg says narrative, Pete Hegg says narrative is that, oh, they were trying to radio the survivors that are clinging on to the wreckage. They're trying to radio to get, I don't know, more drug smugglers or whatever. And so that's why he said, quote, kill them all. And now there's basically no evidence of this. He's constantly being proven to be a liar. And we also know this administration doesn't care about drug smuggling because Trump just pardoned the president of Honduras. Put up this next headline, Kylie. Survivors clinging to capsize boat, didn't radio for backup, Admiral overseeing double tap strikes tells lawmakers.

2:31So this is exactly what you think would happen when you have somebody with a background like Pete Hegseth that was appointed to this position by Donald Trump because Pete Hegseth swore that he would be loyal to Trump. And Pete Hegseth obviously is very insecure about his masculinity. He is very threatened by people of color, by women, by LGBTQ plus service members. He is setting up the Pentagon and the DOD to be a white supremacist regime. His speeches are uniquely anti-equality and anti-American. He does all of these things, kills all of these people. And then he has the audacity to go on Katie Miller's podcast and talk about his faith.

3:25This is a man of no morals, of no faith that is playing toy soldier. And it's just absolutely devastating that tens of millions of people voted for a convicted felon and were incapable of playing the tape through as to what happens when you elect a criminal, he then is going to surround himself with criminals. And on top of all of that, this notion that the American public and American culture has fed that wealth means intelligence and means the ability to solve problems and be good financially, particularly in Republican circles has been such a lie perpetrated on the American public. And Donald Trump, trust fund baby, bankrupted, bankrupted casinos, total scam artist, is always running some sort of racket.

4:21And it's no surprise to anybody, I guess, except for the tens of millions that voted for him, that this guy is not good with economic policy. But not only is he not good with economic policy, Republican presidents at large have always tanked the economy, yet they get all of these white voters that believe they're such savvy businessmen and that that savviness is going to equate to being able to manage the United States economy. Well, just like everything Trump touches, the job market is a complete disaster in the shitter. Kylie popped this up. CNBC is reporting layoff announcements top 1.1 million this year, the most since 2020 pandemic.

5:10Guess who was president in 2020? Donald Trump. Guess who was president the last time we had this type of economic collapse? George W. Bush. And you can go back and you can go back and you can go back yet. You have so many people, despite living through these failed Republican economic agendas, that continue to believe and vote the lie that these policies are actually economically sound and or fiscally conservative. And it's been one of the biggest propaganda scams of the Republican Party, aside from the fact that they're pro-life and pro-family. Moving along, Jon Stewart, who I love, he has some words about Donald Trump.

5:55And as you can see, Donald Trump, he said he was going to be the jobs president. He was going to fix everything on day one, 1.1 million jobs gone in 10 months. And he was handed an economy by Joe Biden that even the conservative Wall Street Journal said was one of the best economies in the world ever. And he managed in record time to screw it up. But the economy hasn't been so terrible for about 0.00001 % of the population. And these are the cowardice, chicken shit losers that have no principle and no backbone that go to the White House, humiliate themselves and kiss the ring of Donald Trump. Kylie, play this clip from Jon Stewart.

7:05his behalf or if you bought him a plane or if you probably promised not to reveal anything incriminating about him. And if you're one of those you's, life's pretty sweet. But for the rest of us, we're on the outside and I can only guess what the view is that we're going to enjoy. So it's so true. I mean, Donald Trump is the most transactional, immoral piece of shit president on the planet. And I think that we all have to go back and take the narrative back to the American people, to the people that voted for him that third time, and start asking them, why did you think it was okay to vote for somebody that was a convicted felon?

7:53Why do you think it's okay to vote for an American president that says when he wakes up in the morning, you know, Merry Christmas to everybody, except for all of the hateful liberal scum. That's not presidential, nothing about this man. And so we have to really dive into American culture and how people are either able to look the other way at all the immoral things this man does for money, or they use that excuse to their friends and say, well, I don't really like all that stuff he does, but I'm just very interested in his fiscal policy. And it's something that we really have to atone for as a culture, because the international impacts of this are so horrible, not to mention all of these people, the Supreme Court, these industry titans, Republicans in the Senate, Republicans in the House are doing all of this for a man because they were so scared of Joe Biden in his age, who day after day after day is in front of the camera falling asleep with bruises on his hand.

9:01You can tell his health is deteriorating by the second. His brain is utter mush. Kylie put this up.

9:11Here's a video of Trump and Tim tweets, Trump is doing in public what was rumored of Biden in private. Those rumors were reason enough for the whole country to rise up against him. But Trump doing it in public for all of the world to see doesn't get a tenth, a one hundredth of the same energy. This is untenable. Even Jake Tapper, who wrote a book about Joe Biden's declining health, sane wash and provided cover for Donald Trump this week because Donald Trump continues to fall asleep in public, continues to nod off with visual signs of stroke. Even Jake Tapper said, well, I think it makes perfect sense for somebody 79 to take a nap at the boardroom table.

9:58It's just insane, the double standard and how many people are willing to deny the truth, throw their spine under the bus and then get in the bus and drive over their spines for that guy, for this horrible, horrible person. All right, listener and viewer, every single day, it's no secret, we log on to ground news vantage plans so that we can read facts. And you should do it too, because they're basically the Spotify of news. Here's an example. A headline, left-leaning, high factuality. Ground news vantage plan tells me this. Venezuela calls out airspace closure declaration illegal. Right-leaning, mixed factuality.

10:41Same subject, different headline. Trump says don't read anything into it when asked about declaring Venezuela's airspace closed. Obviously, because we have the Ground News Vantage plan, we're going to read the one with high factuality in it.

11:26And lastly, I want to leave you all with this. J.D. Vance is the heir apparent of MAGA. And J.D. Vance was not Trump's first choice for vice president. However, Trump needed money because he had to do everything he could do to win this election so that he could avoid going to prison and filing bankruptcy yet again. It was a live or die, fight or flight thing for him. So the oligarch said, OK, we'll give you hundreds of millions of dollars if you take on J.D. Vance. And so J.D. Vance is a prostitute. He is, if he's writing hillbilly elegy, then he will have, you know, compassion for people that grew up in Appalachia, people with drug addiction.

12:13When he married, when he had a trans roommate in college, he was, you know, accepting of trans rights. When he married Usha, you know, he understood immigration was a part of American culture and multiculturalism was valued. Then he goes out with Peter Thiel and Peter Thiel tells him, hey, I don't think democracy is such a good thing. And I think we should do away with democracy. And I think America needs a CEO and I'm going to set you up and here's$15 million. I'm going to fund your Senate campaign. And so J.D. Vance is like, okay, like absolutely the most malleable person I've ever seen, a full blown prostitute, J.D.

12:50Vance is. And so he gets to work immediately as vice president shilling for the tech oligarchs. And what the tech oligarchs have been able to get away with in the United States doesn't fly in countries that value consumer protections. And the United States under Republican leadership never values consumer protection. In fact, they have propagandized that consumer protections are regulations that prevent the economy from bustling. And again, that is propaganda. We need consumer protection specifically as it pertains to social media, because you have a lot of people reading lies. And consumer protections pertaining to the truth on social media and bot accounts is not censorship.

13:40It's consumer protections. So Vance has been totally shilling for Russia. And he has made it very clear that he is against Europe and against the EU. And put this tweet and retweet up, Kylie. So, J.D. Vance, our little smoky-eye sociopath, tweets, rumors swirling that the EU Commission will fine X hundreds of millions of dollars for not engaging in censorship. The EU should be supporting free speech, not attacking American companies over garbage. And Ron Filipkowski, one of my favorites on Twitter said, and once again, the power of the US government will be used to represent a private company owned by the single largest donor to Trump.

14:28Of course, he's talking about Elon Musk to leverage foreign governments. So you have these people that were installed by these tech oligarchs. And JD Vance is a bought and paid for prostitute of these techs, tech oligarchs. And he will go shill for them and throw the American worker, the Constitution and everything that we hold dear under the bus because he has no principles whatsoever, like so many MAGA men. All right. That's all we have for this episode. Please subscribe and I'll be back later with more news.

15:09Thank you.
