Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Trump and all the low T betas went to China and it is the reverse cabinet meeting. All the alpha males are just bent over like you wouldn't believe. Let's play the clip. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth. And I just want to. Sometimes people don't like me saying it is his way of saying, I hate saying this. This is miserable for me. But what has happened here, Angie, is I think this guy has face planted so badly with his relationship with China. and all of our allies said, forget the United States, 77 million people in that country have screwed up the entire world order to vote for a dementia ridden toddler senior citizen.
0:56So a lot of our allies have started doing deals directly with China. China is also helping Iran. He has left American farmers by the wayside. He has face planted our economy and now he's over there kissing the ring. And I just think it's interesting. Trump acts like such a badass at home. And every time he's Putin or she or somebody else, it is bend over as kiss city. It is. And what I loved about that, I just have to go back to this. He's like, because I always tell the truth. Okay. So we know he always lied. You just had to throw that in. You know, it's like, well, I'm telling you honestly. Okay.
1:32So that meant you were lying before. But here's the thing about Trump. He is a global embarrassment. I pick up my phone in the morning and it is nonstop. BBC, Al Jazeera, every outlet on planet earth, except for Fox News and the other Rupert Murdoch, New York Post. It is embarrassing. Everyone around the world can't wrap their head around it. And the ass kiss of the Chinese president. And here's the thing. No one is getting more relationships and better risk off of the Trump administration than China because Trump walked over, took a huge dump on the allies. And they're like, just like you said, OK, we'll deal with China.
2:15I mean, China is winning against the United States. They hold all the cards, all the cards, every card. And the whole time that Trump has been spinning his tires, doing the tariffs and all this stupid harebrained shit, China's just sat back and said, we don't really need to do anything here. And Trump imposed all those tariffs and they're like, tough titties. We don't give a shit. It will affect our economy. Zero. And of course, he has to go with the billionaires and his son's dumb and dumber and all of this crazy shit. So here's a video of Elon having fun on his field trip with the president.
2:51Pop this up. Here we have Elon. He's got his phone out and he's filming. There's Tim Cook, the most pathetic homosexual billionaire on the planet that makes participation trophies for this dipshit. And there's that Scott Besson, another demon queen. There's that dipshit, alcoholic, Pete Hegseth. There's little Marco Rubio. This is a display of American idiocy, ignorance, stupidity. This is our worst foot forward on the global stage. And the rules in this country are different for the billionaire class than they are for everyone else. Pop this up. Elon Musk flew to China with Trump despite a federal judge telling him he wasn't excused from the trial over his own lawsuit against OpenAI.
3:46Sources say he did not secure permission from the judge to leave the country. And you guys might remember OpenAI is owned by Sam Altman. And not only do you have the billionaires face planning and kissing ass and they have all this fuck you money and they refuse to tell Trump, fuck you. Not only do you have the billionaires funding fascism and not standing up for their country or their customer base, they're starting to cannibalize each other. And Elon Musk and Sam Altman are cannibalizing each other. So of course, Elon believes in nothing. He's the one who went on Twitter and said, the reason Trump won't release the Epstein files is because he's in them.
4:29So if Elon Musk knows, which his tweet indicates that he knows this for fact, because he got the keys to the entire federal government, assumably saw the Epstein files, he believes that the president is a pedophile. So Elon Musk has no problem, the richest guy on the planet, traveling to China with a pedophile. And this just is fascinating to me because Elon Musk, I would assume, has a better plane than Air Force One. He's the richest MF-er on the planet. But he has to, everybody in this whole thing has to kiss ass and nobody believes in anything. You know, when I read this article about Elon Musk not obtaining the judge's permission, it immediately struck me.
5:15Well, of course he did, because this is a group of lawless people starting with Trump. They do not give a shit about law. They do not give a shit about international law. These people bomb people that are fishing in the ocean and they like it. These people kidnap people off the streets and ship them to countries they have never been to. They kill girls in Iran who went to school because they don't give a shit about the law. There's no such thing in law and order in this regime. They break the law flagrantly because you know what? Nobody's going to hold them accountable. And the entire plane ride, Elon Musk, the entire plane ride, chronically online, and he is posting transphobic and racist shit on Twitter.
6:11This is the guy who did back to back Sig Hiles. That should have been the end of him. But the ADL and Donald Trump and MAGA run interference for this guy because people respect billionaire piece of shit, racist, Nazi hypocrites more than they do the working man that might have integrity. That's what's so broken about this country. This broken man, so many people who don't have health insurance, who don't have livable wages will worship the likes of Elon Musk who can't even look at Donald Trump and say, dude, you're a liar. You're all over the Epstein files. I have a bank account that could choke a bull.
6:51The last thing I'm doing is kissing your fat ass. Does Elon Musk say that? Absolutely not. And this tweet right here, I thought really perfectly summed up the problems with Elon Musk. Pop this up. Warren Gunnell's tweets, can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, worth$828 billion, spending 290 million to elect Trump, becoming$563 billion richer since Trump was elected, and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet. And then he cites where it talks about the veracity of his claims, the truthfulness in what Warren Gunnels is tweeting there.
7:43And this is my call onto all of these MAGA Christians who are so sanctimonious, who tell everybody how to live their lives, who tell everybody who they can love, who tell everybody who they have to marry. You say you worship Jesus. And a lot of you wear these bracelets that say WWJD. What would Jesus do? Which for me personally, when I see that on somebody's wrist is a red flag, but that's neither here nor there. You cannot both worship this regime of MAGA and say that Jesus Christ is your North Star. Jesus Christ spoke out exclusively against the accumulation of wealth. Jesus Christ would be with the people who Elon Musk so brazenly celebrates, cutting off all of their aid.
8:30Recently, Elon Musk went on a tear in some interview talking about how he wants to cut Social Security. He wants to cut Medicaid. Who the fuck does this guy think he is? Working class Americans have paid into their Social Security and their Medicaid their whole fucking lives, their paychecks come to them. And these funds have been removed and placed out. And Elon Musk comes over here as an immigrant and then wants to tell working class Americans, no Social Security, no Medicare, no Medicaid for you. And also tough titties to all the poorest people in the world. I'm cutting you off. It is such a disgrace that MAGA Christians support this shit, that they support this depravity, this immorality and this death.
9:11And I'm going to say it once and I'm going to say it again. MAGA is an anti-family pro-pedophilia death cult. All of their policies lead to that. Angie. I completely agree. And I think it is very, it's not surprising, But when you look at the MAGA Christians and what, from my perspective on the billionaires, they don't give a shit about poor people. They don't want to help poor people. They wish poor people didn't exist. And because evangelical Christians are able to dehumanize everyone else and pass judgment because they believe they are so entitled, poor people, sick people, they don't give a shit because it doesn't affect them personally.
9:57And so to me, it is just absolutely breathtaking how growing up in a church that all I heard about was the teachings of Jesus and then walk out the door and you say, fuck the poor, fuck the sick. I want to do what's best for me. And I just I see that almost as part of the teaching that I got in the evangelical Christian world. And then you see the billionaires. They don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. So they fit right in line with that whole way of thinking. Yeah. And I think there's this worship in the church of like the pastor and giving money to the church and they make it such an integral part of the prosperity gospel.
10:39And that perfectly dovetails with this lie of trickle down economics that if, oh, if we don't regulate the billionaires, all their wealth is going to come down. It's the same thing as the prosperity gospel. If we donate to this pastor and to this church, this pastor might have a private plane. This pastor might live in this big house, but eventually I'm a good Christian and that's going to trickle down. And it's all built on this Ponzi scheme of lies. And that's why I think those two come together so well. But I also think in evangelical Christianity, there's a punitive nature to it. It's yes, they talk about Jesus doing some nice things, but the churches that when my friends, when I'd spend the night at friends and I went to, it was a lot, it was really cruelty coming from the pulpit.
11:21You're going to go to hell. You're not going to be in God's favor. You're going to be punished. It's a very punitive, um, lacking of hope, lacking of inspiration sermon. And you know, you're, you're born so broken and you have to be saved because you're such a broken piece of shit is basically kind of, I was like, that's kind of a weird thing to say to little kids that you're so broken. And so I think there's a lot of cruelty in evangelical Christianity, and they love to beat up on the poor. They love to feel superior. And I see the evangelicals that I know crunching on, chewing on, salivating on cruelty.
11:58They very much enjoy punching down. That's the through line in every evangelical I've ever met, is they salivate in a Pavlovian style towards the idea of being cruel to other people. Which brings me to a couple of Christians on the right wing. And I'm talking about alleged heterosexual Benny Johnson. And of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who we all know is going through quite a few things. They're in a huge fight because Marjorie Taylor Greene went on vacation with her boyfriend in Costa Rica. They're saying that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought a house. I don't really give a shit if she bought a house or not.
12:37I don't care about that shit. She went to Congress. she learned how to game the system. She did insider training. She made a shit ton of money. That's the system that the Democrats are going to have to step up and fix if they ever grow any balls. But Benny Johnson calls out Marge and then Marjorie slaps back at Benny. And I'm going to treat everybody to a dramatic reading of Marjorie's tweet. Pop this up. You are a lying scumbag at Benny Johnson. And just to be clear, we are definitely not friends. All you cover and elevate are trending lies. You get paid to do it. Literally the most repulsive level of MAGA.
13:18I never fled America. Yes, I sold my house in Rome, Georgia and have another house under contract in Georgia as Brian and I are planning to get married. And I wanted to live closer to my family like my mom and kids and now I'm on vacation gee what a scandal you moron you could have reached out and asked me about the complete and total bullshit loomer was posting but nope instead you chose to trash talk me name call me and spread the lies for money and since you decided to do this people have been telling me things I had no idea about you. Allegations about young men at conservative conferences, allegations that you got paid by Russia and Israel, allegations that you rip off people's content and articles and pretend like it's your own.
14:16How about you cover those trending topics, Benny? And what I have to say about Marjorie is this. She really is a slow learner. I've known about Benny Johnson and these young men at these conservative conferences for quite some time. I've known about Benny Johnson being on Russia's payroll for quite some time. But I will say that once she gets there, she does sock it to him. It might take a few years, but once she arrives at that destination, she does sock it to him. Now, do I trust Marjorie Taylor Greene? Fuck no, I don't trust Marjorie Taylor Greene. Do I trust this rebrand? Fuck no, I don't trust this rebrand at all.
14:55Do I love MAGA on MAGA cannibalism? I think it's absolutely delicious and so predictable. It's so predictable. Yeah. Well, it starts the head of the snake. The minute Trump, you're out of Trump's good graces, he says the meanest, most hateful things about you. And it just, every single one of them does that. So when Cash Patel leaves, I can't wait to hear what he says about him. Pete Hex said when he's going to get fired. Kristi Noem's still sitting in the home of the Coast Guard for free. So what I'm dying to know is what is she going to say about Trump? And maybe I'm just being too optimistic that she'll ever turn.
15:37But these people know all the dirt on the other people because they're all fucking moral-less, ethic-less assholes. Every single one of them. Starting with Trump all the way down.

There actually is a possibility to elect people that are incorruptible. There actually is a possibility to elect a government that can function, that doesn't engage in all the Benny Johnson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump, pete hegseth christine own that aren't narcissists that say you know what we all live here together we've got to figure out how to make the government work for everyone universal human rights for everyone leaving no behind and the person who's leading the charge in this is one mayor zoran mom donnie in new york and the fact that he can do this really really pisses off people in the Western media and it really pisses off the billionaires.
18:01Pop this up. Mayor Momdani tweets, when we came into office, we uncovered a$12 billion budget deficit. Today, I'm proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn't close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, and making historic investments in public housing. call it pothole politics, call it democratic socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That's what New Yorkers deserve. And that's what we will keep fighting for every day. This man and his ability to do this scares the shit out of these people, out of the Elon Musk.
18:45You know why? Because he's incorruptible. They cannot buy him. You know why they've called Bernie crazy, all of this shit for years? he's incorruptible. And so you have all these billionaires, the billionaire bedwetters of New York, Ken Griffin, Bill Ackman, who are just like, I'm tired of everybody demonizing us. If you're tired of that, how about have some conviction? How about grow a spine, pick up your fucking phone and call the mayor of New York city and say, listen, you won and you're actually governing really well. And I see where public sentiment is that people want us to pay more in taxes.
19:20So let's go sit down and I'm going to get out my checkbook and I'm going to write a check for my$250 million home that I use a few days a year. And I'm gladly going to push it over because it's insane that that's just a minor little investment that I have sitting there. Do they do that? No, they bed wet all over cable news. They bedwet all over Twitter because these people have grievances. Can you imagine how these people act like they're a black person walking around the United States in the 1940s and 50s? It's insane. It's utterly insane. And so good on Zoran, good on the city of New York. Pumps, what's your take on that?
20:07Well, I just, I was, as you were reading that, I just thought, I remember when government was boring and they made choices for the people. You had a pothole in your street. It got fixed. We didn't have to call each other names. We didn't have to politically back fight. And so you see that world still exists, a politics where the people actually receive the benefit of their government dollar and they don't go into the pockets of a corrupt administration or billionaires or all these corporations that they help the people. And honestly, it gives me just a slight bit of hope. Like this can be done because we're seeing it be done.
20:48Yeah. And I would just say that I don't know that that ever existed for everybody. I don't know that that type of government ever existed for everybody. And that's what incubated fascism. The thing that makes Zoran so terrifying for all of these people is he scapegoats no one. And scapegoating is the tool that both parties have used to an extent to favor corporations. And so anyway, good on Zoran. We love you, Mayor Mom Donnie, even though the Oklahoma City Thunder is going to whoop the New York Knicks ass should they meet in the finals. It's gonna be a sweep. I'm gonna get my broom out on the streets of Manhattan when that happens.
