0:04All right, MAGA has been gerrymandering. They have been trying to suppress the vote. Trump's going on and on about national emergencies. For over a decade, he's been talking about how great it is to be at war so you can avoid an election. SCOTUS has jumped in on it. And now we all know why. Republican efforts to gerrymander are backfiring. Pop this up. New polls. The dummymander, Maine the wonk, is posting, I warned GOP about is real, reflected in House and Senate polling. Texas 15 in 2024. Trump won this by plus 18. The Democrat is up by five points. Texas 28, a district Trump won by plus 10 in 24.

0:50The Democrat is up plus 11. Texas 34. Trump won this district by plus 10. The Democrat is up by three. So their efforts to scare us, their efforts to constantly flood the zone and keep us in a state of fear are only powerful if we allow ourselves to be scared by this. These people are incompetent dipshits. They have to cheat to win. They're gerrymandering. And even the gerrymandering is now called dummymandering because that's how stupid it was because the people have the power. And Trump, his approval rating, I mean, we're dangerously close. I think a new cycle away from it dipping into the 20s, which is a day we will celebrate here, but not celebrate too much because we can do much better than that.

1:38And more great polling for Democrats. We are 75 days out from these midterms. We have to be laser focused on this final guardrail that we have. Pop this up, Kylie. Ohio, Sherrod Brown is up plus three. That would be a flip in the Senate. Texas, Tallarico is up almost two points. That's a flip in the Senate. Cooper in North Carolina is up plus eight. El Syed is up at point three. A little personal note about El Syed. Every Democrat wasting time talking about other things regarding the El Syed race, you're not doing the party any favors. We need the seat. He is an incredible candidate. He might not take corporate PAC money, and maybe that's what you want out of a candidate, but the overwhelming majority of us don't want, so knock it off.

2:29Ossoff is up eight points. Alaska, this would be a flipped seat. Democrats plus four. This is incredible news. We have to build a gigantic tent, And the number one thing under this tent is opposing fascism. We can fight about all the other stuff later, but let's get as many Democrats in as we possibly can. What is Todd Blanche, the newly minted criminal attorney general who's overseeing a crime syndicate in the executive branch? What does he have to say about SCOTUS trying to help out their favorite little dictator, Donald Trump? Play the clip. Sue over this once again. Is DOJ ready to defend again?

3:11Yes, just like we've been ready. And this is what President Trump, this is what the American people expect President Trump and expect this country to be doing when it comes to election integrity and making sure that we are extraordinarily vigilant about who is voting and that they're eligible to vote. The American people historically do not like this president. He has the lowest approval ratings of any president going into the midterms. Furthermore, Donald Trump, the guy who's still screaming, rambling like a nut job about Hannibal Lecter in the 2020 election, despite all of the research done, voter fraud is fairly non-existent in this country.

3:53That the Republicans have chanted this mantra for decades because they know their ideas aren't popular. They're not popular at all because look at what's going on with the Republican Party right now. They have everything. Supreme Court, the oligarchs, the House, the Senate, the executive branch. And look at what a disaster, an absolute disaster the United States of America is. Well, the message that the Democrats are polling well and winning and progressive candidates are winning is getting a lot of attack from both sides. But Jack Posobiec, he is this big Trump thumper. All right. He pops on Twitter to attack the DSA.

4:35Pop this up. DSA is out here promising free food, free healthcare, into war, into data centers. What is the GOP offering voters? And you're going to want to stay into this video because the DSA gets a very strange defender here. But I want you to remember just for one second, right after Trump won his second term, Jack Posobiec said this, play the clip. Welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow it completely. We didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will, we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with, with this right here. Okay. So remember when Trump won and Elon Musk did a Sig Kiles And then Jack Posobiec says this, welcome to the end of democracy.

5:21See, they oftentimes do the quiet part out loud, especially when they feel super, super emboldened. So Jack Posobiec, he's also the same guy that's now in the White House press corps when Zoran Mamdani went to the White House and Donald Trump was just embarrassingly fawning over him, flirting with him like, it's OK. Call me a fascist. You can do it. You can do it, big guy. Remember that Jack Posobiec? I mean, his panties were in the biggest wad. He storms out of there. So here's the thing. Politics and blood sport. I would be attacking the DSA if I were Republican because their ideas and the momentum and the energy in the Democratic Party is all over there.

5:59So guess who defends the DSA? Pop this up. Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey responds to Jack's question, what is the GOP offering voters? He says mystery meat, 50-year mortgages,$4 gallon of gas,$6 gallon of diesel, more war, liability-free pesticides. You guys, I've been saying this for a year now. Democrats are getting outflanked by the Marjorie Taylor Greens, the Tucker Carlson's, and the Thomas Massey's. And this is really dangerous. The Democrats are over there pissing themselves about the DSA, trying to pick fights with the DSA, instead of saying, you know what, y 'all are a little bit further left than we want to be, but you're winning.

6:43So let's build a coalition. They're not doing that. But guess who's offering to build a coalition with him? Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson. Why? Because they're going to do this America first party. They're starting a whole new party. The Democrats need to lock in right now. We can fight after the midterms and we should, we should have robust conversations about policy and about where the majorities are and what actually delivers for Americans. But right now, right up to the lead of the midterms, we have to build coalitions. We cannot let Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey outflank us online.

7:24Furthermore, Democrats, we need to talk about all of the racism that goes on in MAGA. It's nonstop. it's 24-7. Our focus needs to be on the fact that the sitting vice president can't condemn racist Nazi group chats. And then they do racist shit like this. Pop this up. Time Magazine is reporting the Trump administration has removed a painting by artist Kehinde Wiley, who notably painted former President Barack Obama's official portrait from one of its embassies over what officials called its woke ideologies. In this instance, woke means black. Woke means the N-word. This is systemic across the Trump regime, from Pete Hegseth firing and not promoting black service members, to chicken shit stuff like this.

8:20But by all means, let's keep infighting. The real boogeymen are these white racists who service the oligarchs. And these oligarchs are the people that want to take our jobs. The oligarchs, they want to. Elon Musk famously said, you're not even gonna have to work anymore. You don't even, you won't even need money anymore. Everything's gonna be provided for you. They want to replace all of our jobs with AI robots. And they're dead serious about it. And they're dead serious about fear-mongering and scapegoating black Americans. and then of course one other thing they always turn to is just beating up if they're not beating up on black people they're going to be beating up on the lgbtq plus community and i've always been completely fascinated about how these maga men that claim to be so tough you know like picture pete hexa struggling to do his pull-ups you know or his military stuff but they claim to be such badasses such tough guys they're so triggered by drag queens let me think about that like you're a grown man and you're like, yeah, I'm a badass.

9:24I'm America first. I wear shirts with eagles and grenades and I put the eagle and, you know, I'm a patriot in my Twitter bio. And you're scared of a drag queen? Well, in Texas, they banned drag shows. Of course, it goes to courts. And a Texas judge had something to say about this. Pop this up. A federal judge has ruled that Texas's ban on drag shows is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment, offering the following advice to those offended by drag. The solution is relatively simple. Just don't go to the shows. Imagine, like MAGA, you're against trans people, just don't have a trans friend.

10:09But if you believe in America and you believe in equality, they should get the same as the rest of us. You don't like drag shows? simply do not go to the show. I don't really like evangelical pastors at all. You know what I do? I don't go to mega churches. I don't give my money to mega pastors. I don't particularly like Republicans. You know what I do? I registered as a Democrat and I vote for Democrats. Republicans, you have agency, you have autonomy. And if you make everybody believe the same way you believe, your party still sucks and you still can't deliver for American people. You never have been able to because your whole political record is as follows.

10:52Lies say that we're so great with the economy. I have to vote Republican because I'm in business. Republicans are notorious losers when it comes to business. They drive up the deficit. They give all of the rich people unnecessary, undeserving tax breaks. They start wars. People die. Now they're deregulating everything. We've got people dropping dead of measles. We've got, we're buying contaminated beef from Argentina. We've got blueberries that are killing people. We have killer blueberries in the United States of America. They're deregulating all of our environmental protections and they're killing off horses, wild horses, and they are tearing up our national parks.

11:33These people are destroyers of life. They are not a pro-life party. That is a lie. MAGA is a pro-pedophilia, anti-family death cult. Find me evidence that they are not that. And on top of all of this, we've done a bunch of episodes so far this week. They're all still in the Epstein files. All of them, everybody in the Trump regime, they're all linked in there. They're all right in the middle of a pedophile ring. Democrats stop and start attacking MAGA nonstop all day, every day, because these people suck. These people are losers. All they have is beating up on marginalized people to try to distract from the fact that these oligarchs are sucking Americans dry for every penny they have.

12:27All right. That's all I have. Pre-order my book. It's coming out super soon. Not Today Fascist. I dive into a lot of this. It's a great way to support our show. Like and subscribe to our channel and we'll be back later with more news.
