0:26All right, some reporting coming out that Hakeem Jeffries has met with Jared Kushner privately. So much to unpack here. Number one, is the Trump regime, by asking for this meeting, acknowledging that the Democrats are going to win and Hakeem Jeffries will be the Speaker of the House? There's some positivity in that. Mind you, I'm still hearing reporting that Donald Trump is doing everything he can to declare a national emergency. But at least the people surrounding him are like, let's go ahead and start testing the waters with Hakeem. Secondly, why is Hakeem meeting with Jared Kushner? Why? Why?
1:06Who leaked this? Where did this information come from? Was it the Trump regime that leaked this? Because I read over the weekend that a lot of propaganda out of this regime is to make people feel like nothing matters, feel nihilistic, if you will. And that's how I felt after I read this article. I thought, Hakeem Jeffries is meeting with Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner, who clearly is engaging in conversations with all of these oil country for bribes for Donald Trump. Jared Kushner has a$6 billion fund from the Saudis, the same Saudis that funded 9-11. Let's pop up this story here. Jeffries and Kushner met privately discussed how Democrats and administration can work together per the New York Times work together.
2:00I don't want to work with fascists. I don't want to collaborate with fascists. There is no working with criminals. We have to have an opposition party. Hakeem Jeffries needs to come out and speak to the people the Democratic base wants fighters. You know who's number one right now in the 2028 presidential estimates on the markets? John Ossoff. Why? Because he's calling out, why is Trump flying around with Natalie? Why is he such a corrupt criminal? He is an opposition speaker at the moment. Every time he gives a speech, he is opposing the corruption of this administration. We need to hear from future Speaker Jeffries immediately, why are you meeting with Jared Kushner?
2:42Why is Jared Kushner at the center of everything in this government? This is why the Democratic Party's approval rating is so low. We have to have an opposition party. What I would prefer Hakeem Jeffries say to Jared Kushner is there's going to be billions of little investigations into you, Mr. Kushner, one for every dollar that you have used the United States of America, working class people to enrich yourself. What the hell's going on with this island? You have all of Albania protesting. What's going on with all of these Saudi funds? Why are you in the middle of all of these meetings with Putin?
3:20Why are you in the middle of all these meetings with Netanyahu? Why did you drag us into this war? Do you even have a security clearance? That's how we're going to work with you, Mr. Kushner. Your ass is going to be drug to the House. So don't think that this is, we think for a second that the Trump regime gives a shit about affordability. This is a time where we cannot collaborate with these people. We have to be in opposition. So a little positivity in there that perhaps people in MAGA know the blue tsunami is coming, but not a lot of positivity for potential Speaker Jeffries. I think those in the house right now, if he doesn't answer for this and talk about this publicly and talk to the people in the house, there needs to be a, if we win, there needs to be a new speaker.
4:10Because I just, I'm, we cannot have any collaborating with these criminals. Moving along, this is hilarious. So little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, you know, he just, he has completely, he is all chips in on MAGA. The most submissive trad wife Donald Trump has is Moses Mike Grinder Johnson. And here he is responding to the Kushner-Jeffries meeting because, mind you, this would mean he's no longer speaker and has to hand over the gavel. We'll play the clip. Does any part of you think that the White House might be trying to figure out which Democrats they can work with if Democrats win the House?
4:50And that is why they would send Jared Kushner to meet with Jeffries. I don't know what that's about. I know Jared has interest in lots of other things going on. He's not really directly involved in the admin, at least in the day to day in the White House. Yeah, you don't know what that's about, do you, Mike? Because you're just a useful idiot. You're just a little puppet for Donald Trump. They use you, spend you, and they will kick you to the curb. And then J.D. Vance is entering the fray. He is trying to attack Abdul El-Sayed during a kickoff to the midterms campaigning. Let's see what our little smoky eye sociopath is up to.
5:27Play the clip. All right, El-Sayed, this guy running for Senate in Michigan. He once argued not too long ago that criticisms of Sharia law were rooted in white supremacy. I'd love to go back in time and tell my papaw that there's a man who claims to stand for working people who says not only should we have Sharia law, but if you criticize it, you're a white supremacist. That's not my papaw's Democrat Party, my friends. That's not his papaw's Democratic Party. I mean, are we for real right now? Come on. All right. So first and foremost, Abdul El-Sayed is not advocating for Sharia law. This is all they have.
6:10Abdul El-Sayed is advocating for health care. He is advocating for the working class. He is actually advocating for affordability. He is not ass deep with Peter Thiel taking money, having Peter Thiel have to buy your Senate seat to Ohio, which you barely want. He is not bought and paid for. Abdul El-Sayed is not a prostitute like you are, J.D. Vance. And more than anything, he can stand up for his wife. Let's hear his response. Play the clip. What you heard in these comments. Well, I'll tell you this. Every time J.D. Vance opens his mouth, the first two things I can think is, man, that guy is boring.
6:45And second, Peter Thiel had to spend a ton of money to get that man elected, barely in the state of Ohio. All right. And, you know, I think there was another clip that I saw this weekend where he said, or maybe it was a tweet where he said, is he going to take, is JD Vance going to take his wife to meet his papa? You know, because JD Vance's wife is an Indian, which I completely support. I love the diversity in America. JD Vance ironically does not because he will not condemn racist, Nazi, anti-immigrant group chats that are incubating in the youth of the Republican MAGA party. And then Trump, you know, his whole thing, he won because he was America first.
7:33No wars. Groceries. Remember, he did the whole press conference where he had groceries on a table and he was just amazed. Groceries, you know, that's just kind of an antique word. We don't really use that anymore. Affordability. You know, all of these things are very new to the president. Meanwhile, 77 million people thought that some trust fund, silver spoon dipshit would understand about affordability. But that's another podcast with some psychiatrists and historians at another date. But let's do a little check-in with where Trump stands on his America first policy. Play the clip. What do you have to say to U.S.
8:10farmers who feel that the deal is benefiting Argentina more than it is them? Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. they're fighting for their life. Nothing's benefiting Argentina. They're fighting for their life. You understand what that means? They have no money. They have no anything. They're fighting so hard to survive. If I can help them survive in a free world, I happen to like the president of Argentina. I think he's trying to do the best he can, but don't make it sound like they're doing great. They are dying. All right. They're dying. What do you mean by being?
8:44I wonder why they're dying. I wonder if it's because their president is as corrupt as all get out and like you doesn't give a shit about working class people and like you can be bought, paid for, manipulated. This is utterly insane. The Democrats need to chop this clip up. This is not America first. This is a man who is placating to the worst leaders around the world. They are trying to create a new world order. Our only saving grace will be that the leader of this new world order, is an 80-year-old aging, obese senior citizen who is dumber than a box of hot rocks and is breathtakingly incompetent, surrounded by people equally as breathtakingly incompetent.
9:29But here he claims that his endorsements are stronger than ever. Pop this up. My endorsements are stronger than ever, not to mention the fact that good people are getting elected that have never had the chance. Here is an accurate list of the last number of seasons. There has never been anything close. It is an honor that I take very seriously. He goes on and on. I can't even read all of it because it's so stupid. Donald Trump and MAGA, you guys, it is a fading star. Even Jared Kushner is looking forward to figure out how he can keep the investigation surrounding all of them at bay by trying to suck up to Hakeem Jeffries.
10:10Why is Jeffries doing this? Because Jeffries has a lot of the same donors that MAGA has. That's the problem with the Democratic Party. And you're going to hear a lot, a lot, a lot about, oh my gosh, the progressive left, you know, I don't want to be a part of that Democratic Party. FDR, which Democratic Party would he have been a part of? the progressive non-corporate left that regulates capitalism, that taxes the rich, that provides the social safety net? Or would he be a part of the corporate Democratic Party that services corporations and has private clandestine meetings behind the back of all of the constituents?
10:50Well, Mike Rogers, who is running against Abdul El-Sayed, But this is really interesting because AIPAC has become a central point in all of these elections. And he is asking AIPAC to shelve its campaign ads on his behalf. So I think what we're seeing is a bipartisan support on both the Republican side and the Democratic side that people don't like politicians that take corporate money. Pop this up. scoop from Axios allies of Mike Rogers Michigan's GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate have asked AIPAC not to advertise on his behalf triggering a rupture with the powerful but polarizing pro-Israel group I also read that a lot of these politicians that are on the ballot are asking for a moratorium on data centers.
11:50So as you can see, Democrats, as you can see, Hakeem Jeffries, the energy behind opposing these tech oligarchs, the energy behind opposing corporate PAC money, the energy behind opposing a state that is very aggressive, Israel, and displacing people and killing people, the American public doesn't have an appetite for that. Moreover, the American public still has a bit of moral clarity in us, despite all of the toxicity and the debauchery that's come out of this regime. The American people are standing up and saying, no, we don't want politicians that are prostitutes. Now, the problem, the difference between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed is Mike Rogers, JD Vance, Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, you name it, any of them.
12:44They are prostitutes. They might for campaigning purposes say, oh, yeah, we're not taking corporate PAC money. But make no mistake, there's a conversation that, hey, don't give me any money right now or find a different way to give it to me. But once I get in, I'll vote however you want me to vote. I'm still your hooker. That's the conversation that's being had in private. And then of course, you know, he hasn't been in the news that much. So I'm going to bring you back up. Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is literally being paid by Israel. Pop this up. New, the Israeli government is paying for ads on Ted Cruz's podcast.
13:23Cruz can't take the money himself, but under an unusual licensing deal, those foreign funds can go to a super PAC dedicated exclusively to Cruz. So here we are in a situation where these politicians are bought, paid for, complete prostitutes by these horrific, morally deranged pimps, whether it's AIPAC, whether it's big oil, whether it's big pharma, whether it's the military industrial complex, whether it's big tech, which is probably one of the most evil forces we have right now in the United States because these people are on the record of wanting to do away with democracy. And so we have all of these politicians that are on the tit of all of these evil entities.
14:10And of course, Ted Cruz is the ringleader finding some loophole. But I want to leave you with this. It is so important that we not feel deterred in the midterms, despite the clandestine meetings between Jeffries and Kushner. It is important for us to remember that we have the power to push Jeffries, should he be the speaker, or to push the other members of Congress to not vote him in as speaker. Because all of these prostitutes that are paying all these people off all the time, when they see the power of the people, they see the power of their profits. They see the power of their dollars. And all of a sudden they shift a little bit.
14:51Oh yeah, we're going to have Pride week again at, you know, Meta or whatever. These people believe in nothing. So we have to elect the most progressive, non-bought and paid for politicians that we can, but we're going to get some corporate Democrats in there too. And that's better than a MAGA every day, all day, and twice on Sunday. But it means our work in letting these corporate bought and paid for Democrats know we're not going to tolerate it is that much more worthy and is that much more important all right that's all i have please pre-order my book not today fascist the link is right below in the show notes i'm even doing a little tour at i've had it podcast.com you can get a ticket and we'll be back later with more news
