Therefore, he surrounds himself with people that are fine working with other convicted villains. And it turns out he likes other criminals. This guy feels best when he is surrounded by other criminals. And in my view, it's because he is allergic to accountability. He doesn't want to be held accountable for his crimes. He doesn't want anyone else accountable for their crimes. So we've got Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an international criminal court warrant for his arrest out, who is being prosecuted for corruption in Israel. That doesn't even get to the genocide.
0:43And here is dear leader, convicted felon, Donald Trump, stemping for him. Hi, dear. Mr. President, why don't you give him a pardon?
1:01These fucking people. Okay, that's enough. Here's the deal. When you're a criminal, you like other criminals. And when you detest accountability for yourself, of course you detest it for everybody else. And here's the thing, and I know MAGA is every bit as clapping at state of the unions and things, but it just, it's so gross that so many people are okay with not holding people accountable for corruptions and crime. I mean, it's never been a better time to be a white collar criminal in the United States, as you know. Yeah. I just think that, you know, it's a really precarious time for these fascist strongmen.
1:43And you see them popping up all over the place. Netanyahu, Trump, Putin, the Turkey, what's his name? Erdogan, I mispronounce his name all the time. But the guy from Turkey, Viktor Orban. It's just that nut in Argentina, you know, that we just sent$40 billion to. And the thing about like Trump and Netanyahu, what they both have in common is they were both at the, I mean, kind of at the tail end of their, they were about to both be held accountable. And I think it's a bigger indictment on all of the people that allow these people to not be held accountable. The millions of American voters, Israelis.
2:33And I know, you know, neither one of these are popular right now, but at some point there's been a mass moral collapse in the electorate that I'm really more interested in because we're always going to have nuts. We're always going to have bad people that, you know, megalomania, malignant narcissism that want to run for something. I'm more interested in the culture that cultivates this. How do we get here where Americans go and vote for a convicted felon? And then they use the argument, well, I mean, neither option is that great. I'm voting for the lesser of two evils. And it's not even comparable.
3:13It's not even close. Was Kamala a corporate Democrat? Yes. The country would not be anything like the shit show that it is right now if she'd won. And any leftist who says otherwise is fucking lying to you. It's just not even comparable. Okay. I have a question for you. You have watched very closely my evolution out of being an evangelical Christian. And you know, people in my life that are still like that. How, what is your view on someone like my family member who is rah, rah, police, convict felons, don't have sex before marriage, like this super rigid evangelical view of crime and criminals and sex before marriage, not even getting close to sexual predators.
4:03How do they justify being a triple Trumper? Like I'm fascinated by that. I think there's a secret of some sort of wrongdoing that they are actively willfully denying. You were at the time, I mean, you started evolving more and more over our friendship, but at the time, the quickest to judge, the quickest to not have empathy. And then your personal life out of all of our friends and mine was fucked up, but mine wasn't fucked up as yours. You won that prize. And so I don't know, is there, that's a great question, Pumps, because is there a correlation with that? Is it a house of cards thing? Like if you would have, when you identified, finally came out of denial about what was going on with your marriage, that's when your metamorphosis started.
4:54You were unable to be so quick to judge anymore. You were unable to turn off empathy when you faced your own reckoning. So for your family members, and I've inquired with you a lot, I think there's a secret there that's buried. And I, and here's the saying, listener, all of us have these. Every family has broken, dirty, nasty, messy secrets. And the power is in, you know, what, like pumps owning our stuff, me talking about, you know, our, my husband struggles with addiction and just how fucking toxic and codependent and what a nut I was. Every family has this stuff, but I think the ones that cover it up the most, those are the ones that are the quickest to judge and the quickest to turn off their empathy.
5:43That's just from my personal opinion. I always know the loudest Christians have the deepest secrets. It's always been true. I agree with that particular family member. There's some secret when this person gets buried, There's something that's going to come out and you're going to go, oh my God. Yes. That's what I think, Pops. I also think just, I think being an evangelical Christian with the moral superiority and entitlement allows you to have dissonance at a level that just a normal person walking through the, you know, downtown Boston, they can't wrap their head around because it's real and it's there.
6:25Okay. So one more slide I want to show you. Okay. So we have Donald Trump talking about how mad he is at Brazil. And I just want to remind everybody, the president of Brazil did the exact same fucking thing that Donald Trump did exactly on January 6th. Didn't want to leave office, got a coup going, violent mob, the whole nine. The Brazilian government held that motherfucker accountable and they convicted him. And so here is Donald Trump's response to that.
7:01Maybe at some point I'll talk to him. Right now I'm not. They're treating President Bolsonaro very unfairly. He's a good man. You know, I know him well. I negotiated with him. He was a very tough negotiator, and I can tell you, he was a very honest man, and he loved the people of Brazil. He was a very tough guy to negotiate with. I shouldn't like him, because he was very tough in negotiating. OK, enough, enough. Bottom line is, Donald Trump, tariffs, economic sanctions, all those threats were because the people of Brazil held their leader accountable. And Donald Trump, more than anything, does not believe in accountability for himself or the people that he associates with, i.e.
7:46Benjamin Netanyahu. And it's gross that we have people in this country that sign off on it. Like many other women, I have struggled with my weight. And specifically now around the holidays, when you're dressing for holiday parties, people are talking about it. I need to lose weight. How did you lose weight?

9:37I don't know if you know this, but Bolsonaro tried to remove his ankle bracelet because he's on house arrest and he was planning to escape Brazil to Mar-a-Lago. Of course. And they went and got him and now he's in actual prison. And so that tarmac video that you just took, that you just played, was actually the bracelet removal, the ankle bracelet removal was like the day after. And so Trump was ready to get to just provide him a safe landing spot. And so that's the part that I think Republican voters are going to have to atone for at some point is the capitulation to crime. They're a crime party.
10:23I mean, they are okay with crime. They're a crime party. And that's something that the Democrats need to just start messaging and really, really beating the drum on that about how pro crime the Republican party is. It is a mafia style crime syndicate from their think tanks, like the Heritage Foundation that used to be an actual think tank with educated conservatives, nuts, but they actually had conservative policy. Now it's a partner in all of this crime shit, All the whole movement, all of it. It's a whole criminal enterprise. All of the Republican Party is. So anybody that's a Republican that says, oh, I'm just for law and order, tell them to go fuck themselves that they need to go sell it to dumb people down the street because that is insane.
11:22This is a criminal party. The whole lot of it. Oh, completely agree. All right, like this video, subscribe to our channel, and we will be back with more news.
