0:04Angie Sullivan:The party that talks about low T and gender-affirming care and real men, all of this stuff, is the largest collection of pussies in the planet. I mean, these guys are so soft, pun intended there. The appointees surrounding Trump are now proposing putting his face on the$250 bill. Pop this up. The Washington Post is reporting the Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a$250 bill featuring the president's portrait And what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years? I just I have never seen a group of alleged straight men worship such an unattractive person who engages in gender affirming care every day.

1:03Angie Sullivan:While at the same time, the same group of people are like, we oppose gender affirming care. but also let's put the guy who wakes up every morning gender-affirming care makeup and then trots out on live tv falls asleep shits his pants uh steps in it lies doesn't know where he is doesn't know who he's bombing all of this shit let's put him on stuff we are entering like this is insanity mainstream media is not properly calling this out the republicans are all a part of propping up this old wannabe drag queen. And it's, this is just, you know, they talk about the masculinity crisis. The masculinity crisis are these men in the MAGA movement, because I just want you all to know, like, it's okay to look at pictures of women and it's okay to wait until somebody has earned their legacy to then get their name on stuff.

1:57Angie Sullivan:And you guys know this because I'm old enough to remember when y 'all lost your shit about Barack Obama wearing a tan suit because it was beneath the office of the presidency. So, I mean, this is just so embarrassing for these men that their whole goal is to get the, like a smile from President Trump. Is that what they're wanting? What if they want him to go, oh my God, Scott Jennings, you did such a good job on CNN or what does, you know, Pete Hexeth want? Does he want Trump to say attaboy? The minute you step out of line, he's going to pick you up, wad you up like a piece of trash and throw you under the bus so fast.

2:38Angie Sullivan:But by God, I mean, you got his name on his face on a$250 bill. Well, and it's his mugshot from trying to incite a coup to overturn the United States government. That's the mugshot. And I would just say this, and I know this is boring, but I just go back to The United States American constituent voter citizen is having a hard time paying their bills. We're doing all this shit in honor of Trump. And I just, what is the cost? Where's waste, fraud and abuse being top of mind when we are now going to print a brand new bill that has never been used in U.S. currency so that we can put his face on it?

3:18I mean, how much waste has this administration come up with? I, it's a staggering sum of money. It was never about waste, fraud and abuse.

3:29Angie Sullivan:Yeah. We have to really, really, really call this out. The Republicans wake up and tell and lie. They walk into rural America, suburban America, urban America, get on the airwaves and say, we are fiscal conservatives and we care about waste, fraud and abuse. And we're going to crack it down because these tax and spend liberals are out of control. That is a fucking lie. every single time the Republican Party gets the keys to the Treasury they rack up the deficit they don't give a fuck about waste fraud and abuse they are pathological liars and their policies are killers the Republican Party is a pathological lying pro pedophilia pro sexual assault anti-family death cult But their best skill is lying.

4:20Angie Sullivan:They lie every single day. They have never meant one word of cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse ever. They have never earnestly, intentionally meant that. Not one Republican that votes for Donald Trump, that serves for Donald Trump, gives a shit about that. What they care about is punishing minorities, punishing women, punishing the LGBTQ +, and then just being an ass and locking up anybody who might come from a different country that wants to be a refugee, that wants a fresh start in a country that was built on immigration, you dipshits. And then moving along, speaking of dipshits, CBS News, of course, was bought by a complete psychopath, a war-hungry, homicidal supporter, genocide supporter, David and Larry Ellison.

5:12Angie Sullivan:And they hired Barry Weiss, who is just breathtakingly incompetent at running a news organization. And they have decided that they want to be like Fox News. Well, there's not a huge market for multiple Fox Newses, despite MAGA acting like, oh, my God, we have all the support. They fucking don't. Trump's approval rating is in the high 20s, you guys. so barry weiss is it doesn't give a shit about journalism she doesn't give a shit about the lgbtq plus community despite being an l herself so she's going to carry the water for the patriarchy and they're going to continue to dismantle lgbtq plus rights and she's going to be one of the first little bitches to drown in this you think you're going to find support maga you think they're going to give a shit about you and your wife barry no they won't they will toss you and discard you just like they did Pam Bondi.

6:09Angie Sullivan:Picture right in the trash. Pop this up. Kyle Griffin reports via the New York Times, CBS News declined to renew a contract with 60 Minutes correspondent Sharon Alfonsi six months after her segment on torture and Salvadorian prisons was pulled off the air abruptly from Barry Weiss. Barry Weiss's legacy will always be that of a prostitute. Barry Weiss is a prostitute. Larry and Ellison family purchased her and they said, we want you to propagandize all day, every day. We want you to do effusive stories on Donald Trump. And her legacy, you know, the big interview she scored at the top of her career at CBS News was with Erica Kirk, who clearly needs to be in a mental institution.

7:03Angie Sullivan:Objectively, something is clearly severely wrong. And Barry Weiss gets on camera and interviews Erica Kirk. And Erica Kirk's all like, Charlie was like, Shabbat Shalom, blah, blah. It was just, it was the most hysterical, insane face plant of journalism. Boycott CBS, boycott Barry Weiss, because at the end of the day, these billionaires do not function without customers. I completely agree. And I will just say the one silver lining that I continue to see pop up is the ratings of these programs that she has taken over and magnified is in the shitter. I mean, it is so bad. I have even read an article that said Barry Weiss's head might be on the chopping block, to which I say normal logic doesn't apply.

7:53She's propagandizing and doing exactly what she was hired to do. So the silver lining is people that have been loyal to see CBS News and their news properties, they're leaving in droves. So that's the up.

8:07Angie Sullivan:And Sharon Alfonsi rips into Barry Wise, pop this up. Brutal Barry Wise takedown by Sharon Alfonsi. Fearless independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it. This is such a death meal. And again, this is another opportunity for Democrats to point out Republicans are pathological liars. They don't give a shit about waste, fraud, and abuse. They don't give a fuck about the the Constitution. They don't give a fuck about civil liberties.

8:54Angie Sullivan:They don't give a fuck about the truth. You know why? Because the more people that vote and the more people that know the truth, the more Republicans lose. So what are they doing? They're cheating. The Ellison family and Barry Weiss are cheaters. They want to skirt the system. They want to lie to the American public and propagandize the American public. And we should all hate CBS News, Barry Weiss, and the Ellison family and boycott the ever living fuck out of them because this is an absolute disgrace. And it's not just all of us saying this and seeing this. A scholarship recipient calls out CBS News who funded his very own scholarship.

9:36Angie Sullivan:Play the clip. And while I want to thank CBS News for funding this generous gift towards my education. I want to also acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship. As corporate elites take hold.

10:02Angie Sullivan:so as you see everyday americans have more courage than these billionaires that have bank accounts that could choke a bull he stood there on that stage and said i he condemned the way 60 Minutes is face planning and what they are doing to an incredible show who has righted so many wrongs, who has shown a light on so much injustice. CBS News should be boycotted by celebs. It should be boycotted by everybody imaginable. We can teach them a lesson. If this kid can stand on that stage and do that. And Jeff Bezos gets on television and says, Donald Trump is more mature and Trump 2.0. Jeff Bezos is the biggest pussy on the planet.

10:55Angie Sullivan:Barry Weiss and the Ellison family have you no sense of decency. Have you no scruples? That's bullshit that you care about the country. It's bullshit that you care about freedom. It's bullshit that you care about journalism. All you care about is cheating and forcing your homicidal, genocidal worldview on the electorate. And the electorate is wholly rejecting it. You've saddled up to an 80-year-old poopy diaper, dementia piece of shit that gets on TV every day and falls asleep. And he is going to be dead. And what's going to live is your legacy. And that kid's legacy is going to be that he stood up and when it was called on him to speak about journalism, he did the right thing.

11:42Angie Sullivan:So you have these everyday Americans that don't have money, that have more courage than the Barry Weiss's, the Ellison's, the Jeff Bezos's of the world. And I just want to say, I was asked when I promote my new book, I was asked to go on CBS this morning and I told my publisher, no, I am not going to promote my book on CBS this morning. I am not going to promote this book on CBS this morning. I rejected the offer because I want nothing to do with a fascist news organization. And if I can do it, if that kid can do it, everybody needs to boycott CBS this morning, CBS News. The whole thing needs to be driven into the red, remove all of their profitability.

12:27Angie Sullivan:So do me a favor and order my book, pre-order it with the link below. It's called Not Today Fascist. And today I would like to dedicate this book to fascists, Barry Weiss, Larry and David Ellison, and all of the fuckers that lie about these people caring about journalism, support independent journalism. Pre-order my book. It will help me so much. And that's all we have for today. Like, subscribe, and we will be back later with more news.
