Trump Panicking As Tons of Republicans Call It Quits

0:04It's shocking how normalized the president of the United States being a liar, a racist, having full-blown dementia, making shit up. all of the crime that goes on, the corruption, how normalized it's become. And as we all live in the United States, there's this constant split screen. Like we know he's doing all of this stuff, yet at the same time, we're all still kind of living our lives. And when I pause and just look at a normal day in the White House, we all must sit there and go, this cannot be normal. There is a whole generation of people, younger Americans that are seeing this. And this type of behavior has become so normalized.

0:49I want to play two videos for you. Number one, Trump saying he would release the second boat strike video where they just, you know, murder for sport, where they're just murdering people for sport in the Caribbean. And then when a black reporter a few days later asked him the same question, he goes, apeshit bananas. Play the first one, Kylie. You released video of that first boat strike on September 2nd, but not the second video. Will you release video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves? I don't know what they have, but whatever they have, we'd certainly release.

1:24No problem. You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela. Secretary Hegs that now says... You said that. I didn't say that. This is ABC fake news. And he goes on to berate the reporter and all of the stuff, you're terrible, you're obnoxious, all of these things. Here's the deal. The demeaning of people, should never... We should never be callous to how he demeans people, how he disrespects people. He does not respect other people. And that is so gross. But here's the deal. When you're talking about, you know, we've become so accustomed to his lying, like the lying tracker in Trump 1.0, they had to quit doing it because it just kept going on.

2:13And people, supporters will be like, yeah, well, he's probably lying. Mass deportations now. Well, he's probably lying. So that has, the lying has actually benefited him. And then it's run cover for all this crazy shit. And the fact that we are allowing the president of the United States to demean people and lie like this says more about us than it does him. I agree. And I just think that the more and more his presidency is on display, a few things happen to me. Number one, I realized how badly the Biden administration failed us. The more and more I think about when I see these temper tantrums in the White House, the angrier I get at the Democrats, because we saw Trump 1.0.

3:02We saw January 6th and Biden comes out and beats him. It's a complete repudiation of these tactics of treating reporters like shit, of lying, of mismanaging things. And then he gets in power and he forgets about all of these things and he just governs and he did a lot of good things. But he left the entire country so vulnerable in his inability to pull out of the race and let the Democrats really have a robust primary. And the fact that we lost to that says more about the Democrats than it does about the people that voted for Trump. This is a layup to beat this guy. And I just think the Democrats' milquetoast approach to this from Biden all the way to the way Hakeem and Chuckles are responding to it right now is such a failure.

4:02when you see people throwing feces against the wall and there's nothing that's changed in Trump's behavior from even before he descended down the escalator. This guy's a nut. He's always been a nut. He's a malignant narcissist. What are the Democrats going to do about it? Moving along, here he is totally unhinged when asked about, there's a rumor that 20 Republican Congress people are going to resign and not run for office. Listen how unhinged he gets here. And I just have a quick question. There's at least 20 House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or not run again. And Democrats also.

4:45And Democrats. Why don't you mention them? How many Democrats are going to retire? How many Democrats? Well, that's what I was going to ask. Why don't you tell me the number of Democrats, too? You tell me about... concerned about the narrow margins and no I'm not concerned I think we're going to do well among them and we will have the greatest economy you know as well considering running for governor we're going to have the greatest economy in history how many Democrats are retiring how come you only know the Republicans but not the Democrats because I came prepared to ask you a question about no no you're unprepared because you should know the Democrats you're totally unprepared go ahead okay I've seen enough pumps.

5:24Okay. Number one, it's like he doesn't even follow the question or he's just taken deflection to new heights, which I know he can do. But the reason the reporter's asking him is because he's the leader of the Republican party. And of course he has to demean the women in the press pool. And I just, I am struck when I saw all of this video from yesterday, I am struck by his power. He significantly looks worse than he did, say, four weeks ago. I'm enraged by the fact that we sit here and we allow him to demean reporters, specifically women, over and over and over again. I don't hear any calls from any Republicans because they're all castrated.

6:15But I don't hear any from Democrats either. I don't hear any from the people at these housing, I'm sorry, these press offices, these reporters come from ABC News. Why doesn't ABC News make a statement? CNN, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They don't. Because they've all capitulated. They've all paid him money in lawsuits. You know, this is just a mass surrender. And I don't believe that these industry titans are going to save us, but I do think a strong opposition and the Democratic Party is what's important here. And you do not see organized speaking and press conferences from the Democrats all the time.

6:56And I want you to remember that during Joe Biden's presidency, Donald Trump and my Republicans were ubiquitous. They picked about four talking points, Hunter Biden, sleepy Joe Biden, and a few other Afghanistan withdrawal. And they beat the shit out of them nonstop. I mean, it was just pervasive and relentless. And I do not see that from the Democrats. The Democrats, in my opinion, are not rising to this moment. There are times where they are, but the Democratic base is so thirsty for fighters and moral clarity. And when you have a guy saying the following, put this up. Equipment has gotten too expensive.

7:43And a lot of the reason is because they put these environmental excesses on the equipment, which don't do a damn thing, except make it complicated, make it impractical. And you really have to be, in many cases, you need about 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower. Okay. So this type of response, this is where the Democrats should be hammering nonstop. He is a pedophile protector and or a participant in a pedophilia ring. He has clear, full-blown dementia. He will not shut up about passing a very elementary school style cognitive test, 25th Amendment, 25th Amendment, and they should beat it, beat it, beat it.

8:26But they're like, oh no, we can't talk about impeachment. They have these made up rules, the Democrats that govern the way they oppose this. And my thing is like your instincts, ruling class, got us here. The Democratic establishment ruling class, Your instincts got us here. So maybe don't go by those instincts anymore. Maybe your instincts are dead wrong. All right, listener, I know that a lot of you have this pattern where it's like, you know what, I'm going to get my family member a gift card.

Well, and not to mention, the reason that Trump is in power is because he fed everybody lies and bullshit. And the response to that was, oh, well, you know, it's more affordable and Biden did some good things. He did. He did some great things. Donald Trump should be in fucking prison right now because he stole classified documents. He doesn't want the investigation released because he's a fucking criminal.

10:36He was convicted on 34 felony counts because he tried to influence an election. But you know what the Democrats did? Fucking nothing. And I blame Merrick Garland for that. You've brought me around to the idea that the appointment of Merrick Garland to the AG position, not going after Trump was the biggest failure in our lifetime from a president. And I agree with you because you look at what Trump is doing. Everybody could see it. We had his defense secretary during Trump 1.0 saying he wanted to shoot protesters. Well, and a lot of the people in his cabinet from Trump 1.0 came out of that and said he is a Nazi.

11:17He is a full-blown fascist. This guy is dangerous. And I just, I, the Republicans are the Republicans. They've always been like this. They're opportunists. They weaponize people's faith against them. They pitched this whole trickle down economics bullshit. They lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Trump is the manifestation of all the Republican Party's worst impulses brought to fruition. And in many ways, I can tell they feel relief that he's in power now because now they don't have to act so polite anymore. Now they can be more brazen with their racism. So it just always brings me back to the Democrats and this milk toast response.

11:58You look at Zoran Mamdani's victory in New York City in the way Booker, Hakeem and Chuckles, you know, they're just this they're too scared to latch on to a winner. But you know who wasn't scared to latch on to a winner? The attractive telegenic. I took on the billionaire class. Trump knew his political instincts were correct in that moment to suck up to him. And so it's just wild. But while all this shit's going on, all these crazy dementia bullshit statements that he makes, lawnmowers, IQs, Hannibal Lecter, you know, just a greatest hits of bullshit. What's going on every day in the White House are shakedowns.

12:42And so we can get distracted by, you know, pudding boy, mush brain saying pudding boy shit. But at every chance he's shaking everybody down to enrich himself or his friends. And now this whole Paramount Warner Brothers thing has just completely blown up. Netflix made an offer. Larry Ellison and his son want it so badly because they want to have a super monopoly on all of this stuff. And none other than Jared Kushner is right in the epicenter of it with like the Saudis. And it is such, it is so against all of our interests. And you have an American president who is only serving the smallest percentage of people imaginable.

13:33He is only his government is corrupt. And pop this up, Kylie. This merger, you guys, is so insane. If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Brothers Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control. Paramount Studios, CBS, CNN, MTV, HBO, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers, DC Studios, Fandango, New Line Cinema, TNT Sports, TBS, Oracle, and more. And not to mention Jared Kushner, the Saudis, I'm sure the Russians, the Chinese, I'm sure everybody's in on this shit. And like two days ago, the biggest story in foreign policy ever is that the United States is not going to align with Europe anymore.

14:25The European Union, they're really putting out pro-Russian talking points. Vladimir Putin was on Russian television praising the United States, praising the United States. We're supposed to be the ally of Ukraine, but all of this shit just keeps happening. And we're just living this crazy ass split screen. But here is where you know that the lies and the cover up are daily. Put this up. Just in the Bureau of Labor Statistics won't publish October PPI inflation report. The Lincoln Project responds. They have canceled the jobs report. The GDP report and now the inflation report, nothing to see here at all.

15:15Imagine, viewer, imagine for 2.5 seconds that a Kamala Harris, a Joe Biden, a Bill Clinton, a Barack Obama, anybody did not release the transparent economic data. And he's not releasing it. And here's why. because he has the magnificent seven in the stock market, exchanging trillions, billions of dollars back and forth to each other to keep everyone's 401ks up to keep the country club Republicans happy. And he won't release these reports because the stock market will start responding accordingly. And this is the foundations of our economy are completely receding and they won't report on it. This guy wants to cook the books.

16:06And you know who else does this kind of shit? Russia. And so all of these Republicans at some point, I don't know if they ever have a reconciliation as to the stuff for decades that they said they valued the constitution, national security, transparency, strong economy, or if it's just all been bullshit the whole time. If it's just controlling the libs and being able to be racist and not paying taxes. And I think that is really fundamentally their ethos. And they do performative politics when they need to. But now they're completely liberated to go along with all this harebrained shit and then make Larry Ellison and his son.

16:48I mean, that's just utterly insane to have that kind of monopoly in the media. Well, there used to be something called antitrust and monopoly litigation. But I look at this and I think, OK, so you bring a lawsuit and you sue and then it goes to the Supreme Court and they're like, Trump can do whatever he wants. Because basically the Supreme Court telegraphed yesterday, we're going to give Trump more power. We're going to take more power away from Congress and give it to Trump. So there is there's no stop here. Then you're also hearing reports that Trump was like, I want to be in charge of who's doing CNN in the Oval Office with Larry Ellison.

17:26Hey, then I get to do the programming. So basically what you're saying is all of these outlets will be state run media, full stop. That's where we're headed. it. It's just, it's so utterly insane. And then you have these people running these news organizations who the Larry Ellisons are their bosses, who when they get outbid by Netflix, they just call up the president. And so you're never going to get accurate reporting, which is why viewer, it's so important that you stay fixated and mired in independent media because cable news, legacy media is just a part of the biggest problem. All right, that's all we have.
