Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Taking a play out of Vice President J.D.Vance's playbook, Trump's own Department of Education compares him to Adolf Hitler. Pop up this post. The official U.S. Department of Education account posted, then deleted a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler. Captioned, no one does it like us with a tiger emoji. The video opens with a scene from the darkest hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger. Let's play a little bit of the clip.
0:45They posted that. They posted that video. This regime is completely unhinged. The wheels are falling off. And we, as the electorate, need to focus on who the enemy is and quit bickering with one another. We are up against fascists, fascists that are funded by tech oligarchs that are coming for everybody's jobs. Bill Gates just recently warned that absolute mayhem is coming because they want to completely wipe out the workforce and replace it with AI jobs. It's never been. It's never been the immigrants. It's never been drag queens. It's never been black people. It's never been gay people that are taking your jobs.
1:27It's the oligarchs and their dystopian, demented idea of the future of the world. These men are dark, disgusting, and they have ponied up to the most incompetent dictator, the most incompetent, which may be our saving, incompetence. Here in this video is our incompetent dictator, Trump, bragging to Fox about how Republicans will win the midterms. Let's play the clip. There's a theory that I get the vote. You know, I see it all the time that when Trump's on the ballot, they win. When he's out of the ballot, the people don't go to vote. And I'm asking the people through your brilliant show, number one show, I'm asking the people to get out and vote, pretend I'm on the ballot.
2:09If they go out and vote, we're going to win. And if we don't, our country's going to be in sad shape because we're going to go through a lot of things. I agree, everybody. Go out and vote as though Donald Trump is on the ballot because he is. Because this is our guardrail. The Supreme Court is not going to be a guardrail and check this president. They have given him an endorsed stamp approved crime spree permission slip. The Speaker of the House, little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, who has all of this power and refuses to wield it. Corporate media refuses to cover this man for the dismantling of the institutions, the indiscriminate killing of U.S.
2:49citizens. Zero, zero accountability. So go vote as though this man is on the ballot because he is. because if they maintain the majority, if Donald Trump maintains the majority, imagine how emboldened he will feel. Imagine what 2.0 has been thus far. If we do not send a crystal clear message to the oligarchs, to the courts, to the Republican Party, to this president, to all of the people in his cabinet who gleefully compare him to Hitler, we are screwed. Our country will be in sad shape. And then, of course, he continues his lying spree. This man was drug into a war because of Benjamin Netanyahu.
3:32And Donald Trump thought, this is fun. I never really used the military in Trump 1.0. Let's do this. We are losing the war by all accounts. And now Trump has declared, a la George W. Bush style, mission accomplished in Iran. Pop this up. Trump declares Bush style mission accomplished in Iran. Truth social meme echoes Bush's premature Iraq victory lap. This was a devastating thing for George W. Bush. I was very much the political junkie then as I am now. And the George W. Bush administration just tortured my husband and me. And I remember when George W. Bush hopped up on that boat. He's like, mission accomplished.
4:14And it was far from it. And the similarities in these two wars are exactly what Republicans do. They take the country and the taxpayers to war with our taxpayer money based on lies. Imagine this, viewer. We have$40 trillion in debt. And what do we have to show for it? Do we have universal health care? Do we have incredible infrastructure? Hell, we barely even have air traffic controllers. We no longer have safety inspectors. Can you imagine$40 trillion in debt and all we have to show for it is us showing up to these wars based on lies to line the pockets of the military industrial complex? That's how the Republican Party treats the working class.
5:01And they act like they're, we're offering you patriotism. We're offering you a Christian nation. It's all built on lies. What they're offering you is to suck all of the money out of you because they think you should pay taxes. You should do it because you're not lucky enough to be rich. But these rich people, oh no, we have to really put on the kid gloves with them. They can't pay taxes. What a burden for these really, really rich folk. And here we have a video of Trump, a Trump post video explaining how he's changing the name of Lake Ontario. Let's play the clip. This is Lake Ontario in Canada and in the United States, but we're going to make a little change.
5:43We're going to call it something different than Lake Ontario. We're going to call it Lake America. And all it takes is a good pen and some intelligence. So Lake Ontario, that's gone.
5:58Lake America.
6:04This is the president of the United States sitting there with his coloring book, talking about it takes intelligence to cross out Lake Ontario and then duplicate Lake, which he could clearly see was spelled L-A-K-E because he's cheating right there. And then right in America, this is what he offers as a distraction to the working class Americans that have been looked over by both parties. He offers this feigned faux patriotism, this, you know, America, we're such badasses. We're really going to show Canada. We're going to name it Lake America. Like they give a shit. Like anybody gives a shit. If we change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, do it all you want to.
6:45Everybody that lives around it and everybody that actually does have intelligence is going to continue to call it Lake Ontario. This is the distraction tactics that this man is capable of, these juvenile stuff. But the evil people that work for him, their distraction tactics are to throw marginalized people under the bus and they tell you, oh, all of these people are taking your jobs. All of these people are spending your money. No, they're not. The people that are coming for your jobs are these AI tech oligarchs. They want to wipe out the workforce and replace it with their AI robots. It is coming.
7:25It is coming. That's what they want to do. And they, like Benjamin Netanyahu, have sucked up to Trump because they're able to do this because Trump doesn't care about human beings. He's not principled. So they're like, oh my God, finally, we've got somebody in the executive branch that will do all of the unprincipled, immoral war crime shit that we want him to do. This guy is getting used, manipulated and twisted. And he digs it. He digs it because from time to time, the payoff for him is to call in these billionaires and humiliate them on national television. Tim Cook, come make me a trophy. Give me an award.
8:06FIFA, make me a peace prize. That's all he wants. That's all that his fragile ego wants in this exchange. And Trump's trade war with Canada is already backfiring. Let's pop this up. What's the deal with this guy in toilet paper? wiped out, U.S. faces surging toilet paper prices amid trade war with Canada. Trump 1.0, nobody could wipe their ass because nobody could buy toilet paper because, you know, everybody's going out buying all the toilet paper. Now, Canada is like, okay, we'll show them. The incompetence of this regime is so horrifying to watch. But my only hope is that this incompetence, their failure to execute this coup, this dismantling of all of our institutions, this dismantling of all of our guardrails will be their demise.
8:58The fact that they are going so fast, all gas, no brakes. The fact that they aren't doing this slowly and quietly where it's like, oh, you know, they dismantled this, but then it's not for two years later to where something else happens. That might be our saving, but it all hinges upon all of us, every single one of us, and this lead up to the midterms, staying engaged, staying laser focused, reaching out to everybody in our support groups and making sure everybody is registered to vote, has a plan to vote, has a plan to vote in person, has a plan to vote in person early. I'm terrified now about the mail-in voting, which I think also might be some of their demise because a lot of these Republican elderly voters do vote by mail.
9:47So we have got to be the guardrail. Only we are going to save us because then we have Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, which I refuse to call the secretary of war. He has this batshit pastor, Doug Wilson. And I'm just going to just, here's the clip of this guy. I would like divine law to have something to say about the marginal tax rates. In general terms. Well, general equity. General equity. Yeah. General equity. Yeah. The coming of Christ transformed everything. We don't take a grappling hook on Old Testament law and drop it on modern society. This shit is just so stupid. What's so crazy about this is this should be so fringe.
10:33This should be the most fringe shit on the internet. It's mainstream. This Christian nationalist stuff is mainstream now. They are in the Death Star now. He has the ear of Pete Hexeth, who's now they're saying is going to run for president. Josh Hawley, the sitting senator from the state of Missouri, he had said, you know, yeah, I am a Christian nationalist. We all know Cruz is, the crazy French people are in. And how do the crazy French people coordinate with the oligarchs? Because the oligarchs, of course, are nihilists. They don't believe all this crazy shit. The crazy French Christian nationalists offer the oligarchs group think, we can control their minds.
11:18We can control these people with shame. We can control these people with authoritarian religion, which perfectly dovetails to authoritarian governments, which is what the tech oligarchs want. What we have to be completely aware of is that they are setting this up to live beyond Donald Trump. I get fooled into the trap of thinking, okay, when it happens, it's going to be the best day ever. And all of our problems are going to end. That is not the case. These people are playing a long game, despite all of Trump's impulsivity, despite all of his cabinet's impulsivity, when they get to the levers of power, they just start punching them all really quickly without a long-term game.
12:02The people who incubated the electorate that put them in have been incubating the culture for this for decades, and they will remain for decades. And that's why they want to flood the zone so that we all descend into nihilism and think, oh, it doesn't matter. But it does matter. We do matter. Our votes matter. Our money matters. And then finally, RFK Jr., because again, Trump appointed every dipshit bottom feeder, low IQ person imaginable to work for him because Trump's IQ is so low. He had to get people dumber than him so he could feel smart at work. Here's RFK Jr. after people are dying from measles, which is a completely 100 percent preventable death.
12:53Play the clip. You should be parental choice. A parent should be able to make up their mind about medical interventions. You know, vaccines are a medical intervention, the only one that's given to healthy kids. Oh, and it is designed and intended to permanently alter your immune system. He refuses, refuses to tell the American public and these parents, your child doesn't have to die from the measles. We eradicated it. because of modern science. But do you notice how all of these entities, whether it's Trump, RFK Jr., the oligarchs, they need for us to not trust the truth. They need for us to not trust science.
13:41They need for us to not trust facts in order for this, their fascist project to be taken over the finish line. This is so incredibly dangerous. He is preying on the feeling we all have for those of you that have children when they're born. You want to do everything right for them. You taking them, you know, they're going to get jabbed with a needle. I remember when my boys were young thinking, oh, they're going to stick their little chunky thighs with a needle. We need leaders that are medical doctors that believe in the decades of research that show, here are all the measles deaths that we had prior to the introduction of the vaccine.
14:26Introduce the vaccine. Now that number is down to zero. It's simple stuff. But the dismantling of facts, the dismantling of truth is all a part of all of this. All of these things are connected and their vehicle, all of these nefarious forces that are using Trump to manipulate him because he's unprincipled to get the diabolical results that they want. They all it all hinges on us not listening to our guts, us not trusting facts, us not trusting science. shamefully all the vaccine research the united states of america was doing a lot of vaccine research on cancer vaccines which they were making incredible incredible progress trump regime canceled all of that doge elon musk but here's the thing all of the oligarchs you can bet your sweet ass if something happens to them they'll go straight to the scientists that they defunded because they're all obsessed with all of this longevity stuff but remember this when thinking about all of them.
15:30Biology is undefeated. It is undefeated. And so we have to not only show up and vote, we must be vigilant, hyper vigilant in changing the culture away from worshiping dumb people, worshiping dumb people that reject facts. All right, that's all I have. I dig into a lot of this in my upcoming book, Not Today Fascist, is released October 6th, pre-order. It helps me more than you know, like and subscribe to the channel. We'll be back later with more news.
