In short

The episode argues that Trump and allies are losing legitimacy after Iran retaliates, while billionaire tech figures (Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, plus Peter Thiel) allegedly aim to automate production and “take wages” via humanoid robots. It claims U.S. officials are committing war crimes, citing U.S. airstrikes hitting a wedding in Iran (multiple killed, about 50 injured). It attacks Pete Hegseth as a war-crimes perpetrator and criticizes Speaker Mike Johnson’s faith-based rhetoric as cover for lying. It claims Trump misreads Iranian public sentiment and that the Iran conflict benefits Benjamin Netanyahu by Balkanizing the region. It also condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza, citing Ben-Gvir imagery of Palestinians as “cattle,” and defends Mark Ruffalo after Paramount accused him of anti-Semitic tropes. Guests mentioned: Mark Ruffalo (actor/advocate for universal human rights); Milo Yiannopoulos (detained by ICE, previously pro-Trump/anti-immigrant); Mark Wayne Mullin (Oklahoma Republican, criticized for education/women’s rights record).

0:00Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless wireless wireless wireless for$15 a month is back.

Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.

Wayfair, every style, every home.

1:04We have to be focused on the forces that are organizing and manipulating an incompetent dementia duck president and what their plans are. And we can look no further than to Elon Musk, the man who bought the presidency, then bought the keys to all of our information, dismantled many, many parts of our government and took away food from the poorest people in the world, the richest man. This is his legacy. And here are his intentions for the workforce. Play the clip. Well, the robots will start manufacturing the robots. So you get a recursive effect. So it starts off very, very slowly, but then it grows at an explosive rate.

1:50So if you say like 10 years from now, I would say there are well over a billion humanoid robots. Wow. And the productivity per robot will be probably five times that of a human. Okay. This is what he's saying here. The robots are coming for your jobs. They're coming for your wages. So the Elon Musk, the Jeff Bezos, the Mark Zuckerbergs, they have all figured out ways to be obscenely, obscenely wealthy, but it's not enough. So they're like, okay, what else can we do? Oh, I've got it. If we can get the wages of the masses, then we rule the world. It's never been the immigrants that are coming for your jobs.

2:36It's this immigrant right here, Elon Musk. It's Peter Thiel. They want the robots to take your wages. This is an existential threat, and they have sucked up to Donald Trump in the same way that Benjamin Netanyahu has sucked up to Donald Trump because Donald Trump doesn't care about America. He doesn't care about his supporters. He doesn't care about anybody but himself and his fragile ego. So they've sucked up to a man that has no principles at all. The most corruptible man on the globe right now is Donald Trump and everybody is milking from him and getting what they want. And all he cares about is say I'm great, say I'm the greatest ever, and somehow cut me in on this.

3:17The fix is in on all of this, but we have the midterms on the horizon, and the turnout has got to be so massive because they are going to deploy every weapon in their arsenal to cheat because that's how unpopular these morons are. And then, of course, speaking of unpopularity, the biggest dipshit in the military, ironically, is the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. And this will come as no surprise to anyone. He is committing more war crimes. Pop this up. U.S. airstrikes hit wedding in Iran, killing multiple people and injuring 50 others. This kind of stuff used to be big news stories. But the inhumanity, the killing, the crimes, the concentration camps in our own country, the deportation of people that are from Latin America and being sent to Africa, kids being sent in front of judges without lawyers and deported.

4:20It's just become this normalized, immoral, grotesque symptom of all of this MAGA stuff. And Pete Hegseth wants to lecture everybody about Christianity and his affiliations, because now everybody's really big on talking about affiliations. Pete Hegseth is affiliated with his pastor, which is this weird woman-hating Christian nationalist that wants to have a household vote. I mean, this is some weird dystopian handmade tale shit. And then, of course, Trump actually thinks the Iranian people are on his side. Pop this up. I'm not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table, as ABC fake news reported.

5:08I couldn't care less if they sign a worthless to them agreement. I like our position now much better with almost total control of the Hormuzh Strait. That is a complete lie. And their economy totally collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? I mean, the fact that we have pete hexath committing war crimes and doing gender affirming care in the military while at the same time telling everybody gender affirming care is this huge problem but also low t men here here's some gender affirming care take testosterone and these people that fundamentally don't understand what is going on in the military think about it like this Pete Hexeth has attacked more American generals than he has Iranian generals.

6:04He's fired, demoted, pushed aside. The Secretary of the Army is now gone. Pete Hexeth seems more focused on tearing down our own military than focusing on Iran, because all of this, this whole thing with Iran, is just a gift to Benjamin Netanyahu, because he wants to Balkanize the region. And then if we only had three branches of government and one to check the other, then we could have a Speaker of the House that actually walk the walk and talk the talk. But we all know little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson is only capable of a jet stream of bullshit and kiss assery to Donald Trump. And here we have Mike Johnson.

6:45He has a brand new excuse that he's rolling out for the ongoing war in Iran. Play the clip. been frustrated is that the Iranians simply cannot be trusted. They'll sit at a negotiation table and say something, they'll walk away and do the opposite. For some of them, it's, you know, apparently part of their religion that they can just lie to someone they disagree with. Interesting. Because when I think of your religion, that's exactly what I think that is. I mean, the lack of self-awareness with these people is remarkable. You claim that God woke you up in the middle of the night and said hey buddy wake up it's time you're moses get over there to the uh house of representatives and you're going to be speaker you're going to be moses and mike is like me so he loves to talk about his own faith yet he uses his faith as cover to pathologically lie and cover for sex crimes against children the killing of iranian schoolgirls, now the killing of these people in the wedding, the killing of American citizens.

7:47This should be the top news story all day, every day that the Speaker of the House is so delusional, he claims he has private conversations with God, yet endorses and amplifies and lies for and propagandizes for pedophiles and for cold-blooded killers while dismantling all of the institutions that keep us functioning as a democracy and refusing to be a guardrail. This man has no spine, no conviction, no morals, no identity. His only identity is, I'm a really loyal foot soldier to Donald Trump. Well, look at what happened to a similar person to Moses Mike Grindor Johnson. Of course, I'm talking about Mike Pence.

8:35White, Republican, Christian, I mean five-star incredible Trump ass kisser. What happened to him? They tried to kill him. So this movement, nobody is safe in it. All of the people who are playing these short, impulsive games are going to end up getting dicked over by Donald Trump. And then, of course, we have the whole Israel subject. And there's all of this yak about if we criticize Israel, then somehow that's anti-Semitic. And that's just complete weaponization of a real bigotry that we all should stand robustly against. But also at the same time, like I want to criticize America. I want to criticize Little Grinder.

9:24I want to criticize the foreign policy, the war crimes of the United States of America. I want other countries to criticize my country because what my country is doing is immoral and I don't take it personally. And so when I criticize Israel, I am criticizing their genocidal, homicidal, ridiculous government. And here's Ben Gavir and he posted this video of Palestinians being sent into a slaughterhouse. Pop this up. So, of course, all of these autocrats make all this AI slop all the time. This is some really devastating shit to even pop up. He has Palestinians like their cattle. And when you think about the Holocaust and how devastating that is and what a stain on humanity that is.

10:23that he puts this out there. And then the forces that want us to be Israel thumpers, when we call this out, want to tell us somehow we're anti-Semitic. Well, the way I see it is you guys are just cold-hearted, bigoted killers. I mean, this is utterly insane. And this man still is in his position in government, in Israel. This isn't disqualifying. So here's the through line of what's going on in Israel and what's going on in the United States of America. This type of shit should be disqualifying, cancelable, real cancelable shit, not the stupid, you know, cancel culture stuff. But this stuff should really cancel somebody's career forever.

11:06And it doesn't. It doesn't. Instead, we have this country ass deep in the middle of the Michigan Senate race because Abdul El-Sayed calls this shit out. But they know it's a problem because Mike Rogers has said, hey, APAC, don't send me money. You guys aren't very popular right now. But I'll do your bidding on the back end of this. I mean, that's just what I assume he's probably saying. And then somebody who I just really admire is Mark Ruffalo, the actor. He has been on this podcast and he has just ironclad conviction. And in the center of his conviction is a desire for universal human rights.

11:53And he has, he lives it. He walks the walk. He talks the talk. He's calling out Larry and David Ellison. Larry and David Ellison, who funded the IDF, sent millions of dollars to the IDF. And you can see what their plans are. Look at what this Israeli politician is doing here. He calls them out. What happens when Mark Ruffalo stands up for marginalized people? They call him a bigot. But Hollywood is sick of this. And I think the American electorate is sick to death of not being able to use our First Amendment right to call out what we see as immoral and depraved. And Hollywood is coming out to support Mark Ruffalo.

12:40Pop this up. Over 170 Jewish entertainment figures have signed an open letter defending Mark Ruffalo after Paramount accused him of fueling anti-Semitic tropes. Ruffalo spoke out against the Paramount Warner Brothers merger and said the Ellison family was complicit in the genocide against Palestinians. And this is just what it's going to take. Donald Trump has all of these people who have sucked up to him, not because they believe in Donald Trump's political vision for the world, because he doesn't have one other than naming this Trump, naming that Trump, a little gold here, a little gold there.

13:20That's his ethos. This guy doesn't believe in anything, but the reason they've sucked up to him is because he's so unprincipled. They know that if they suck up to him, throw him some compliments, throw him some cash, here's a kickback here, that they can do really evil shit. And so all of these people have bought all of our media or in the process of buying all of our media because they want to control the narrative. If you're not doing anything wrong, why do you have to control the narrative? Why do you have to propagandize? Why do you have to? I remember there was a lady who said, as soon as the TikTok images subside.

13:59Well, it's not that people were making up what people saw on TikTok, what was happening in Palestine. That was real shit. It is still real shit that's happening. And it just so happens the majority of us in this country don't want to spend money, our taxpayer money that elon musk doesn't have to pay that jeff bezos doesn't have to pay that donald trump is making sure he and his family never gets audited again ever so all these working class americans who by the way as i started off the episode they're coming for your wages there too we don't want it to pay for this it's immoral it's gut-wrenching and so mark ruffalo is really an American who's standing up right now against all of the forces.

14:45Look at how easy. I got on my phone this morning. Apple caved and changed Lank, Ontario to Lake America. A multi-billion dollar company caves to Donald Trump. I mean, what a bunch of pussies. But Mark Ruffalo doesn't. He believes in art. He believes in the First Amendment. He believes in universal human rights and he should be commended. And then this is quite the whiplash going from Mark Ruffalo's bravery to Mark Wayne Mullen's dipshittery. Play the clip. Well, yeah, so the Democrats want to they they throw out all these fear mongrels to try to make ICE and President Trump's administration look as worse as possible.

15:36Unfortunately, we have the left media that buys into that. All right. So as you can see there, he struggles with the English language as well. Mark Wayne Mullen, one name, not two names. It's all spelled one. Mark Wayne. He is from my home state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a bottom 10 state. Oklahoma is a state full of Christian nationalists that has a MAGA supermajority and has long before Trump descended on that escalator. Oklahoma is ranked 50th in education. Oklahoma is the 50th worst place for women to live. When you rank all the states, where are great states for women to live? Oklahoma's dead last.

16:19Rapists have more rights in the state of Oklahoma than rape victims. Guns have more rights in the state of Oklahoma than schoolchildren. And yet, if you get there, you'll hear like all of these people that have lived in all of these MAGA policies, their entire existence in Oklahoma, Republican super majorities. And they'll say, we got to take our country back. I'm like, bitch, please, from who? The Republicans have ruled this state forever. We did have a Democratic governor, Brad Henry, in the early 2000s, and we were ranked, I think, 17th in education. Since then, Republican super majorities the entire time.

16:58dropped from 17th to 50th. Republican policies always do this. Republican policies are a race to the bottom while serving up a side of fear-mongering, racism, and I guess with Mark Wayne Mullen, I can't speak the English language because I was educated in Oklahoma. And then, of course, we have Milo Yiannopoulos. And he, of course, is a big, used to be until like 24 hours ago. He was a big MAGA thumper, endorser of Donald Trump, pro-ICE, rah-rah, sis-boom-bah, the immigrants are the problem. He goes on to Piers Morgan, and he's had an about face now that he has been detained by ICE. Play the clip.

17:39I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, They put your manacles, your hands, your feet, chain it together. I mean, everybody who's arrested is like an MS-13 gang member, and it hurts a lot more than it looks like on television. It's interesting, isn't it? He had no idea because, I mean, do you remember the George Floyd arrest? I mean, that was broadcast all over the place, all over social media, everywhere. And I saw the brutality when a killer cop put his knee on this guy's neck and suffocated him.

18:18But yet you're shocked. You didn't realize the brutality of the American police. No, what you didn't realize is that they would do that to white people. That's what you didn't realize. And here's the big lesson about Milo. I'm looking for people who, when they can make a change, when it's hard, when it's not popular, you try to make a difference. Like what Mark Ruffalo is doing. It'd be really easy for him to go, you know what? I'm just going to ride this ride. I want to make more movies. I don't want to ruffle feathers. Everything's so toxic right now. I'm just going to kind of slink back and not say a word.

18:54That's not what he's doing. He's doing the very hard, difficult work in a time when it matters most. Milo, had he not been arrested by ICE, would still be a Trump supporter. But because they went after him and he didn't learn the Mike Pence lesson. Nobody is safe with these people. All right. All of this I know is depressing and it seems like so much, but there is hope. And I'm going to give you guys some hope. The Republicans are scared right now. And that's why they're amping up all this rhetoric. They're scared because they know their policies are absolute failures. They know that the electorate is onto it.

19:39They know they're trying to propagandize all over corporate news. It's not working. They're not getting traction with anything because we are going to turn out in droves, in absolute droves to vote. And we are going to install a guardrail of accountability and a message to the Elon Musk. No, you're not going to take our wages to the Supreme Court. No, we do not want you, an unelected entity, rubber stamping crimes and subverting taxpayer money to build some, I'm going to hide at the White House until I die, Donald Trump's safe room space. This shit has to stop. We don't want to go back to the way it was.

20:21We want to fundamentally install guardrails to where these horrible ideas that for all intents and purposes, promote a death cult environment. All of these policies that MAGA does lead to death. And as you can see by Mark Wayne Mullins, stupidity. So organize. I've heard in Texas, a lot of people have been removed from voter rolls. If you know people in Texas, get active right now. We have just a little over 60 days. Make sure I'm going to plan to vote in person. If you know somebody who can't vote in person, because I just don't trust this whole United States Postal Service, help older people in your community get to the polls or offer to take their ballot directly to the United States Postal Service so it doesn't get thrown aside, because I just don't trust these people.

21:16They're cheaters to their core. Donald Trump hates losing. Look at what happened in 2000, which should have been the end of it, but it wasn't. But this is our last chance. And so we have to lock in now more than ever. So make sure you're subscribed to our channel, like this video, and I'll be back with some more news.
