In short

The episode criticizes Trump and MAGA for anti-democratic behavior at the UN (attacking CNN reporter Caitlin Collins), threatening annihilation of Iran, and using “rebranding” to push AI (“super intelligence”). It also argues polling suggests Americans are increasingly against the Iran war, and it condemns JD Vance’s “fraud czar” actions to stop Obamacare enrollment. The host adds that corporate power exploits workers, citing DoorDash underpaying NYC delivery workers, and claims major corporations ignore related harms (including an ICE shooting). Key claims include: Trump’s ego drives policy; AI rebranding is a distraction; Obamacare cuts target sick/poor people; and corporate Democrats protect exploiters.

0:04The president of the United States took his particular brand of anti-democratic, sexist dementia to the U.N. General Assembly. He continues to embarrass himself, embarrass the country, embarrass humanity. He arrived at the U.N. General Assembly and he attacked Caitlin Collins. Play the clip. Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans, two-thirds of Americans don't think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end? It's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. The United Nations allowed us in, sir. You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to cover me.

0:44You shouldn't be covering me. Two-thirds of Americans don't think that the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end? We're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much. You know, shame on Melania. I see her standing there as he's, you know, talking to this journalist and CNN said what they weren't going to cover me. You kicked them out. The UN invited the press, just like Zoran Mamdani invited the press. You kicked them out. You and your girlfriend, the bunny boiler, kicked CNN out. And Melania just stands there because for her, all of this is like a thirst trap, weird thing where she's creating her own brand, like parallel to his, but she's fine with all of this stuff.

1:27She's, she's a hundred percent on board and imagine how he's probably spoken to her. So she's really primed for all of this abuse, but that's just embarrassing. That's something that you see like a unhinged dictator. I guess that's what we have do like 15 years ago, if you're watching the news in the United States and you see some, you know, unstable leader from some, uh, uh, war torn country, that's how you see them acting. He's the president of the United States, triggered by the media, particularly female journalists. And then, of course, it gets worse from there. That's child's play compared to the, that's the appetizer.

2:07Now let's get on to the entree. He gets on stage and then threatens the annihilation of Iran in his speech. Play the clip. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again. Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election. I, I, I, I. Do I do this? Do I do that? I'm going to make a deal. This is something he's completely normalized and politicians, particularly presidents, senators, et cetera, should use the word we.

2:53You work for us. But he continues to pursue his own agenda of self-preservation and protecting his fragile ego and has surrounded himself with people who that becomes their top priority too. Imagine every day you wake up and Instead of doing what's best for yourself and for your family and for your country and doing a good job at work, you go and you think, I am going to protect the most toxic aspect of my boss's life. And it so happens that my boss is the president of the United States. Of course, the speech was not without a bunch of rambling nonsense, as all of his speeches are. But here he is trying to rebrand AI, which we know that he is completely invested in.

3:41So are his sons, dumb and dumber. And I'm sure Tweedledee and Tweedledipshit, and of course I'm referring to Jared Kushner and Whitcoff, they're all making billions on AI. And here he is trying to rebrand it. Play the clip. From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial so it's super intelligence in other words welcome to the new world of super intelligence dash si si let's see if that goes it sounds much better it's super duper intelligence and then it's si and it's super duper I am so tired of having a dumb president on top of everything else.

4:33He's so caught up on the most bizarre, shallow, vapid pedestrian points of everything, like the BBB, the big bullshit bill. He wanted to brand it the big, beautiful bill. And you know what? Those distractions kind of work because in that bill, he guts everything that helps everybody and then transfers anything and everything that helps working class to the people who don't need it. And it was just a complete rape of legislation of the working class Americans that are the yarn and fiber of this economy and transfers it to the exploiters. But he puts the shiny object. It's the big, beautiful bill, AI.

5:17We found out it could potentially kill all of humanity. and the people who are creating it are like, we don't know what to do here. They know exactly what to do. And this is why they've bent the knee to him. And so he's like, I know what we'll do. We'll rebrand it. It's super duper intelligence. And it's just, I wish I could say something really profound about all of this, but we're talking about a dumb person who I think people who have analyzed this says that he speaks at like a fifth grade level. So what do you say in response to this other than the midterms are on the way? And I read an article this morning just a little hopium for everybody, that the people who are watching all of the polling expect this blue wave to be bigger than the one after Watergate.

6:02Now, we all have a lot of PTSD. Trump and MAGIT injected into the electorate is just a huge unknown. It causes a lot of anxiety. I think a lot of people that are Trump supporters are embarrassed about it. Not the cultists. I'm talking about people that you think would not be the cultists, but secretly they binge Fox News and they can't wait to go race and vote for this stuff because there's something about the recreational cruelty and a little bit of extra money and being mean to immigrants that these people dig. And so I don't know how accurate the polling is, but I want to believe and I want to keep motivating everybody.

6:43We have got to come out so big, too big, too rigged, even in Texas. I mean, it has got to be a mammoth, Herculean turnout that sends a message to this man, all of his supporters, all of the rich, psychotic billionaires that have bent the knee and betrayed their customers and betrayed their country. We are not tolerating this. And of course, the most tolerant person of all of this is the smoky eyed sociopath, shapeshifter, Mr. Tofu himself, J.D. Vance. And he is using his role as fraud czar to kick Americans off their health care. Because, you know, when I think of Catholics, I think, yeah, let's not help the sick.

7:28Let's not help the poor. Again, a master class and using religion to try to lure people into Christian signal. and then be just an abject hypocrite that does the exact opposite of the teachings. Play the clip. Stopping Obamacare enrollment for about 750 ,000 people, 750 ,000 people who we believe are fraudulently enrolled in the program. That's number one. The second thing that we're going to do is we're going to do some additional verification. We expect that most of these people are fraudulently enrolled, But we're going to do some additional verification on about 419 ,000 people. We're going to make sure that they're, first of all, legal residents of the United States of America.

8:10And second of all, we're going to make sure that they actually meet the income threshold requirements in order to receive these Obamacare benefits. Okay. So this is just the optics of what can we do here? We can attack Barack Hussein Obama. And this probably hits hard with the base because I think a large part of the reason that Trump has was president and is president again is there's just a huge backlash. You could call it a white lash. A lot of people really reeled that we had an African-American president, a black man who's smart, a good family man, gorgeous wife, Harvard educated, who represented us well with dignity and intellect and patience and slowed down machinations that were mindful and thoughtful.

9:03So they want to come out and say, OK, here's the optics of this. We're attacking Obama. But what's behind that? What's behind that are people right now in the United States of America that are sick. They're sick. They have cancer. They have chronic diseases or illnesses, children, elderly people, anybody. Biology comes for everybody. Nobody's exempt from it. And this regime is so cruel. This is an attack on sick people and probably an attack on poor people as well, because that's all they have left. They've, you know, muddied up women. They're muddying up the LGBTQ plus community. They've completely dismantled the Voting Rights Act.

9:48They're firing black people from the Pentagon. Let's go after sick people too. That's who these people are. And if you're a Christian and you have a lot of faith in your faith and you believe it and you vote for this, you're an abject hypocrite of the highest order and a cancer in our country. A part of our electorate is really sick in the mind that they can't cut through that, that there's not enough critical thinking to see what he's doing there. And then another nut, Pete Hexeth, announces a new initiative so he can look like a badass. Play the clip. A couple months into the job, Chairman Cain gave me a portrait of General George C.

10:30Marshall, whom Winston Churchill famously called the organizer of victory. That portrait is a constant reminder of our mission to cut bureaucracy and demand true meritocracy across. I've heard enough. I can't even, I can't. Meritocracy? Let's put Pete Hegseth in a meritocracy. Let's see how far he goes. Every accusation is a confession with these people. It's that simple. This man is a war criminal. I hope that we have the big tsunami that is being predicted. And I hope the oversight committee is there in full force and hauls his ass in. Of course, you know, Mike Johnson just provided cover for this war criminal by sending everybody home from Congress because they want to impeach him and he deserves to be impeached.

11:22Let's see how well this guy does in a meritocracy. And then while Pete is making videos for social media and acting like a nut job narcissist and cosplaying as a badass, polling shows Americans are more against the war in Iran than ever before. Play the clip. Americans, including Republicans, are souring on the war with Iran. Almost two thirds of respondents now say the U.S. is not winning and even more say Trump isn't doing enough to end it. And nearly seven months into the conflict, a majority says the conflict has not been worth the cost. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. I mean, this is it is everything that this man touches is an absolute disaster.

12:03He has surrounded himself with sycophants because from Trump 1.0, the neocons, the conservative Republicans surrounding him were more the Richard Nixon style Republicans that held Richard Nixon to account. And they said, no, you can't do these things. And Trump 1.0, he heard the word no a lot and he didn't like it. And now he's in and all he hears is the word yes. And that's why when he stands in front of the UN, it's I, I, I, I. And we have emotionally stunted dipshits running the country. There's just no intelligent way to put it. But somebody who's as diabolical as all of these MAGA people, but actually smart in the most evil kind of way is Benjamin Netanyahu.

12:48Benjamin Netanyahu is trotting his war criminal ass to the United Nations. And I'll tell you what, Zoran Mamdani has these people wound up like cheap clocks. And he arrives in New York and he makes this big tough guy threat to Mamdani. Play the clip. Shame on you, Mr. Mamdani. Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against New York Jews. I'm coming to the UN. I'm going to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers. And I'm going to tell the truth about you. This is just such stupid propaganda. Everything he says is a lie.

13:33Mamdani is not inciting riots against Jewish New Yorkers. That's a complete and total L-I-E. and for all of the propaganda to continue to exist, a Zoran Mamdani or a Mehdi Hassan or an Abdul al-Sayed is the antidote to their propaganda. It cuts right through it because their whole worldview is predicated on all Muslims are these horrible, evil jihadists that want to kill women and Jews and gays and that's just all they want to do. Meanwhile, he has never spoken out against Ben Gavir and Smotrich in his own regime who talk about killing little Palestinian kids, nor his soldiers, who there is now a documentary called NASA that talks to 24 IDF soldiers.

14:27And they talk about killing kids. He can do all of this stuff. He can make all of his tough guy videos. He can coordinate with donors of the IDF to buy up media and buy up social media all he wants to. The truth always finds its way out. Always. And that's why there is a mad rush to try to cover up all of the war crimes this man has committed. And Zorin Mamdani is the least of your problems, Benjamin Netanyahu. But Mamdani continues, despite all of this, to show all of us how government can work. Play the clip. Cash had underpaid more than 260 ,000 delivery workers across New York City between April of 2022 and June of 2026, often in violation of the minimum pay rate.

15:19Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account. Okay. What a split screen of Trump, you know, with the big, beautiful bill and MAGA and had to transfer of wealth to the richest people, to the DoorDash people. And then a politician who reminds everybody, these people are fleecing you. You're not lazy. You work your ass off. These people are greedy and they're the lazy ones because they're sitting on their yachts and their private planes, paperclip and stapling, hitting send, and you're out there really hitting the pavement working. This is a very noble cause and they are scared shitless of this.

16:03And I want to remind everybody, a DoorDash delivery driver just got shot by ICE. Does DoorDash come out and make a statement against ICE? I haven't seen one. They don't give a shit. They provide cover for all of this because they're exploiters. These are broken people. DoorDash did come out and issue a pathetic, pathetic statement in response. Pop this up. We messed up. Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable. And we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down. We've reached a settlement with the city of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they're owed.

16:46big companies like this don't mess up this is why the whole narrative government needs to be run like a business is bullshit doordash knew exactly what they were doing all of these huge corporations that are now capturing all the means of production it's a big power grab we have communism but communism for the oligarchs they are capturing all the means of production exploiting labor and then they have a whole propaganda arm that's like, you're lazy. If you don't have insurance, get an extra job and you need to be a patriot and pay more for your gas. These guys live in a completely different world.

17:26They know exactly what they're doing. Is there a statement about your drivers that are getting shot by eyes that are here legally shot in the back? I haven't seen that. And let's just leave you with this. DoorDash donated$1 million to a pro-Cuomo super PAC during the mayoral primary. I wonder why. Because they knew that a politician that fights for everybody, particularly working class people, because he knows they are the ones that need to help. He doesn't work for the exploiters, but they knew Cuomo would work for the exploiters. So even though Cuomo had a D next to his name, a lot of corporate Democrats carry the water for the people that exploit the American public.

18:13All right. Great news. My book, we are within what, Kylie, 10 days, 14 days, October 6th. It's coming out. Pre-order it. Not Today Fascist. I talk about a lot of this stuff.
