He has accelerated the destruction and he has done it so quickly and so rapidly that even Vox News is being forced to cover his failures. Play the clip. Another concern, corn, soybean, wheat conditions are all deteriorating and JP Morgan is warning of a potential global food crisis. Could this be the beginning of that, Scott? Well, they say it is. I mean, they will make the argument that we're already starting that. We've had some trouble this year with our crops, Mother Nature.
0:50OK, so global food shortage because of the Iran war, of course, Republicans start wars based on lies, drive up the deficit, mass deaths, and then an economic calamity and now food shortages. But this is where the diabolical nature of Trump's pathological lying, I hope catches up with him because it's been enough. So of course he loves, he's like the champion of the heartland, the every man, Americans man, which is just such a con. But nonetheless, the farmers, We're all in on Trump. Farmers for Trump. We love Trump. Well, Trump loves the Argentinian dipshit president who he's already given$30 billion to.
1:38Peter Thiel has tucked and rolled down to Argentina because he's trying to set that up as his, you know, techno fascist government. And an interesting thing took place. And we reported on this. Argentina shipped their beef to China. China said, no, we're rejecting this. It's contaminated. And then Trump on Air Force One was like, Argentinian farmers, they're starving. They're suffering. They're in a lot of pain. Completely dismissing that American farmers are screwed specifically because of this man's policies. And so now the beef that has come in from Argentina to the United States of America has been rejected.
2:20It's almost as if they were like, oh, God, we were supposed to get all of these hundreds of millions of dollars from China. They've rejected it. Who's the biggest sucker in the globe right now? Oh, I know the Americans, Donald Trump. Let's ship it there. Let's play the clip. About the media reports, what specific countries have been in talks in the U.S. about stepping up the reports aside from Mexico? I am not privy to talk about that. I think the conversations are still going on. And that's Ambassador Greer, who's finalizing what exactly that looks like. And I think the president's involved in that as well.
2:56Thank you. Okay. So she can't talk about it because the truth is really devastating. Argentina has a lot of power for some unknown reason over the United States of America. And the only thing that I can deduce from this is the information that's already out there. And it is that Peter Thiel purchased the vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance, who is just a horrific, unlikable politician from start to finish. Peter Thiel is now in Argentina, and Trump is preferring this contaminated beef to American beef. So this is just a typical Republican policy, a typical Republican failure, a typical Donald Trump grift and corruption.
3:40And then, of course, I have always maintained that MAGA is a death cult. All of their policies lead to suffering and death. And now there are reports of the first measles deaths in 35 years. Pop this up. Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles. The state health department said both were unvaccinated. These are the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, and the first deaths reported this year in the United States. And this is what, and I apologize, trigger warning for the next video. But this is what RFK Jr. has to say about it. Play the clip. Oh, what is the cure?
4:26What is the cure for measles? Your measles is chicken soup and vitamin A. And neither of those things can be patented. Okay, actually, the cure for measles is herd immunity. And how do you get herd immunity from vaccinations. What's so fascinating about all of this is, you know, those of us that are Gen Xers had our grandparents that had a lot of siblings. And both sets of my grandparents had younger siblings that died as babies or as toddlers from diseases that are now completely eradicated. Older generations really valued vaccines because they saw firsthand in their siblings and their family members that they died senselessly.
5:13And so again, Democrats pound this, take away the narrative that the Republicans are the pro-life party. They are not. They are the pro-death party. And these people are dying of stupidity. These unvaccinated people have fallen prey to propaganda. And this ties into Donald Trump's plan and Project 2025's plan to dismantle the Department of Education. The fascist project relies on a dumb, sick, and poor electorate. Moving along, Josh Shapiro talks about his conversations with RFK Jr. Let's play the clip. I was very, very blunt with him, and I made very clear that his actions and the rhetoric that's coming from this administration are having a negative impact on communities across America, particularly right here in Pennsylvania, that there's real life consequences to spreading misinformation.
6:19There's real life consequences to scaring people and not relying on actual doctors and actual medical professionals to provide unbiased information to parents so that we can make reasonable decisions for our kids. Okay. This is a prime example of how Democrats are not messaging properly. Josh Shapiro had the right sentiment there, but he went on and on. He should stand in front of the microphone very clearly, very concisely, and look at that and say, the policies of Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are killing people. These policies are like that of a death cult. They are actually killing people. All of this pro-life stuff is propaganda that they tell you.
7:10We need to sharpen our attacks on these people because guess what? When Obama wore a tan suit, those arguments were sharpened. I mean, it was a three-day Fox News meltdown. We need to be aggressive, laser-focused, calling out these people for what they are. Killers. Their policies are killing people, period. And Donald Trump is playing patty cake with dictators all over the world, ignoring American farmers and favoring this contaminated, horrific beef from Argentina. Guess what's going to happen now in the United States? Nobody's going to want to eat red meat. So not only is there health risk from this, there's an economic risk from all of this as well.
7:56And then the democratic establishment, we all have followed this Hakeem Jeffries thing the last two days. And I just want to say this as a Democrat, I don't like not liking our leaders. There's no joy in any of that. I want to be a member of a political party where the leaders are fighting, fighting fascism, fighting against RFK and his killer organization where they are deregulating and putting out lies that are making people sick and making people poor and making people die. But I'm just not seeing that. And so this just blows my mind right here. Pop this up. Jeffries is naming Moskowitz one of the most pro-Israel Democrats as ranking member of the HFAC's Middle East Subcommittee, tells you everything you need to know about Dem Party leaders' preferred plan for dealing with their base's fury at Israel.
9:00Ignore it, and maybe it will go away. The patronizing, completely ignoring, passive-aggressive nature of democratic leadership right now is so out of step with where the voters are. The voters very simply, number one, want people that fight fascists, that don't sit down and talk to them in private meetings. Make that shit public. Don't walk into a trap where Jared Kushner then leaks that you met with him privately. Secondly, the base does not want foreign influence in our politics at all, particularly as it comes to war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's Israel. So this is just a slap into the face of every Democratic voter right now.
9:49And then you have politicians who are progressives like Abdul El-Sayed, who also is a capitalist. He is just fighting for everybody. This is like an FDR Democrat is what Abdul El-Sayed is. But the Democratic establishment is freaking out about him. And then even Jesse Waters had Abdul on, and Abdul was incredibly impressive, completely dunked on Jesse. It was delicious. I loved Lady Waters getting her ass handed to her. But even Jesse Waters, after Abdul went on Fox, went inside the Death Star, now he has this to say about Abdul. Play the clip. In this case, I thought the interview was fine. He thought it was compelling.
10:39He's a confident guy, kind of a guy's guy, but I don't trust him. You know, I like him. I don't want to like him. I like him for some stupid reason. Yeah, Jesse, let me tell you why you like him. Because he has a moral conviction. He doesn't have to change his position. Like, for example, Hakeem Jeffries says we've got to get corporate money out of politics, and yet he continues to take a bunch of corporate money. Hypocritical. I mean, there's just Hakeem and Cory Booker and others will give you this really long word salad answer as to why they're hypocritical in that. But the simple fact of the matter is they're hypocrites.
11:18They're taking money from the same people that are funding fascism. It is a breath of fresh air to have somebody sit down on Fox and doesn't have to obfuscate, can completely stand on what he believes in, doesn't have to change his opinion because he's always believed in it. always believed in helping everybody and always believed in equality. And it's a breath of fresh air. And that's why you like him. You don't trust him because you're hardwired to think that all Democrats are libtards because that's the main ethos of the whole Fox News channel. And then we have a tweet here from Ali San Marco.
11:59Let's pop this up. She says, the dude made Jesse Waters like him and establishment Dems still want to get rid of him. This is really fascinating to me and Ali, really good point there because I saw on Twitter this morning when I was kind of reading some of the news stuff that somebody was critical of the DSA and Thomas Massey retweeted it. And he said, the DSA doesn't want to import contaminated beef, start wars, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Listed all the stuff that MAGA is doing. And we're in a really, really bad space as a party when we have the establishment attacking the candidates who the establishment says they want to be.
12:44Cory Booker came on my podcast, says we've got to get corporate money out of politics. We've got to fight for everybody. Well, Abdul El-Sayed has done that and yet he's still getting attacked. Why is that? Oh yeah, because he's a Muslim, because he's critical of Israel. And so that's kind of the quiet part out loud. And we need to get over this. We need our politicians to firmly fight against fascism and fighting against fascism overtly and also covertly. But what our leaders are doing is covertly taking money from the same packs that prefer the unprincipled MAGA candidates. And then the United States is now begging Russia to help them with the war in Iran.
13:34Pop this up. Russian officials have briefed Iran that the CIA director Ratcliffe's Moscow visit delivered a message with the U.S. asking Moscow to press Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Russian entities would otherwise face designations under Operation Economic Outcast. Russia declined and told Iran the threatened measures were of limited consequence, according to two senior Iranian sources with knowledge of the briefing. This is so infuriating because every American knows, except for those inside the Trump regime, that what Donald Trump is doing is a wrapped up gift to Vladimir Putin, because Vladimir Putin has wanted to take down the United States for such a long, long time.
14:28And he's able to do it right now because this is my personal opinion. I believe he has some compromising information on Donald Trump. I do. Nothing else makes sense in this. It truly doesn't. And so here we have a Republican Party that lies to us about we're so pro-life, that lies to us that they are for American farmers, that lies to us that they're fiscally responsible, that lies to us that they care about national security. The Republican Party, whether it's under MAGA or any other Republican, always destroys America and then takes a victory lap about how patriotic they are. These people are pathological, lying hypocrites.
15:11Democrats, sharpen your critiques, sharpen your toolbox. If you're going to play patty cake with fascists, then just go join the fascists, But don't lie to the Democratic electorate. We're a lot smarter than the MAGA base is. That's all I have. Please like, subscribe, and I'll be back later with more news.
