0:04They're going to try everything in their power to rig the midterms. They're already starting. And I've had a theory for quite some time that one thing that Trump plans to do to cling onto power, to reach around the Constitution, is to cook the books and say that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And then he and his buddies, the fascists in the Supreme Court, will say, oh, oopsie, he already is serving a third term. So we have to void the amendment. And I don't know anything about how that would work, but I know that these people are diabolical. I know that they will stop at nothing. I know that Mitch McConnell stole a Supreme Court seat from the Democrats from a majority landslide victory of Obama's.

0:50And I know that they'll do whatever. I have no expectation whatsoever for them not to try to get around this. This guy is decorating the office, putting signs, White House, you know, Oval Office, Rose Garden. He's, you know, Liberace, the whole thing up to his liking. He has zero intentions of leaving. Zero. And the biggest narcissistic blow that he's had of late is the loss to Joe Biden of over 7 million votes. And you all know he's been wound up like a cheap clock over this since 2020. He will not shut up about it. So this is pretty alarming stuff. This happened last night. Pop this up. The FBI raids Fulton County.

1:36And Adam Cochran says, taking the paper ballots is part of why we separate these records at the state level. Trump has taken the tabulations and the ballots. So if he makes a wild claim in court, what does it get compared against? These paper ballots, which his goons are now free to destroy. And get this, you guys, Tulsi Gabbard showed up with the FBI. So we should not be taking this lightly because I floated this. I don't know. It was a couple of months ago, right, Pumps, where I said, I think he is going to, part of his plans with Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller is to cook the books on 2020 and say, oh, oopsie, I'm already in my third term.

2:26So what do we do about that? And then he creates some sort of constitutional crisis and all the fascists in the Supreme Court will immediately do whatever they need to do to pretzel themselves. The Democrats are not putting up the fight that we need to be putting up right now. And they haven't for the past year. And this is as serious as it gets because they know they cannot win at the ballot box in 2026. They know they cannot win. Well, the polls tell them they cannot win. And I just I look at this and this was so alarming to me because what that says is we're going to take this evidence and then we're going to say, oh, we don't know where it is.

3:09Or they're going to send back doctored evidence because if people do not believe this administration will doctor evidence, that's how corrupt they are. Look at the fucking Epstein files. Look what we're doing there. there is absolutely no conscience or ethics to say I'm not going to doctor documents. This is terrifying. And my guess is he will find his 11 ,080 votes or whatever it was. Oh, he'll find more. He won't be able to help himself. You know what I mean? He will not be able to help himself. Oh, I'm sure it'll be like a hundred thousand. You know, he, most important about this administration is that they don't believe in the truth and the rule of law.

3:56That's the most important thing. I mean, I personally think they fabricated the text messages of the Charlie Kirk shooter. That's my personal opinion. I think all of that, I think all of that was made up. I think that these people will make the truth, the truth I put in quotations listener and I use that loosely, whatever fits their narrative. These people are psychopath, diabolical people who are incredibly submissive. Think about this. Think about all of these alpha males in the bro podcasting sphere and all of these guys with pickup trucks and the truck nuts, drink creatine, you know, punch up on roids and go to their, you know, man boot camps and all this crazy shit.

4:41They're so submissive to this guy. Like you, there's not a bigger pussy in the planet that can't say I lost congratulations on your victory. You won fair and square and, and pack up and move on down the road. Their version of masculinity, all of these broken MAGA men is to submit. They submit to a mentally deranged man that wears a full face of makeup. That is their idealized version of masculinity. That's how sick and emotionally stunted these people are. But Senator Ossoff in Georgia is sounding the alarm as well. Please play the clip. This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook.

5:26This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections Office. his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election have been based in Georgia from the very start. Georgia is where he called the secretary of state and said, find me the votes that he needed to win in a state he had lost. So much of the big lie that led to the January 6th sacking of the United States Capitol that had a mob seeking the speaker of the House and the vice president to lynch them originated in his lies about the state of Georgia. And here he has the FBI, which there are so many hardworking, diligent public servants in FBI field offices all across the country, but its headquarters now in the thrall of these political appointees, Kash Patel and Bongino, and this guy from Missouri in the deputy role, who are partisan political actors, raiding this election office in Georgia, seizing all of this information, all of these records, taking it who knows where, chain of custody now broken.

6:39And here's the thing. This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020. We have to be prepared for all kinds of schemes and shenanigans. We have to be prepared for him to try to deprive people of their voting rights in Georgia, where we have the most competitive United States Senate race in the country. And I'm asking people to help me defend this election and voting rights in Georgia to log on to electjohn.com, electjohn.com, and contribute to help us fight the good fight and make sure that the people can speak. This is just really stunning stuff.

7:23And when you think about what Steve Bannon said about flooding the zone, you know, it's so disorienting waking up in America, this person shot and the right wing media is doing all this crazy shit. And then now he is doing what I predicted he would do several months ago, he is going to declare and cook the books that he won in 2020. And he is surrounded by lying, soulless. amoral, immoral sycophants that will happily cook the books for them because at the core of this movement is a bunch of submissive men and women. When I look at this, obviously it's so alarming, but you look at all the things that this administration has done to stay in power.

8:12Obviously, January 6th was a coup that didn't go over. But you have gerrymandering. They're killing people at protests. So that has a chilling effect on going out to vote. Then you have the bunker. He's building a bunker that nobody can get him out of. So I look at all these things. He knows how unpopular he is. He sees the polls that he is tanking his base and everybody around him. farmers, soup to nuts, every single person. He is hurting financially, insurance, income, all the things. And he's tried every way possible to cook this midterm election because he, by his own words, I'm going to get impeached.

8:58I know that. Mike Johnson says it all the time. I'm going to get impeached. Well, yeah, because you're committing crimes every day, but that's not what we're talking about here. I think this is a last ditch effort to make sure we have all our base is covered. If they go to the polls, even though we have threatened violence and we've killed people, if they're still courageous enough to go to the polls, then we're going to gerrymander. And if the gerrymandering doesn't work, I just think it's like a list of things, checkmark, checkmark, checkmark, checkmark to keep him in power. And if all else fails, I'm going to lock myself in the bunker underneath the White House and wait till somebody comes to get me.

9:41Oh my God, I'm afraid you're correct, Pumps. It is all hands on deck. All right. So, you know, I think Melania Trump is a monster. I think she's an absolute monster. And a lot of people sometimes provide daylight, like Stephen Miller, I feel sorry for Katie Miller. Well, then Katie Miller gets out and she starts her podcast. And I was like, oh my God, she's a fucking monster too. And so Melania Trump's documentary is coming out and nobody wants to go. Nobody wants to go see the boring Melania Trump's documentary. Nobody wants to support Jeff Bezos. And I just want to note that the director of this documentary has multiple allegations of sex abuse against him, was shunned by Hollywood.

10:31And so, of course, within the pedophile protector MAGA Christian movement, they pick this person to tell Melania's unremarkable story of marrying a wealthy man to ascend to being a famous woman. Now, listen, I understand it's hard work, probably being married to him, and I don't want it to diminish all the work she's had to do on her back. But that doesn't mean that I don't think she is an absolute lying, fraud, piece of shit, gender washing, shallow, diabolical woman. And here she is on Fox talking about her husband is a unifier. He is an unifier. Play the clip. It's great to have you. Something struck me in the trailer.

11:26So the president is standing there and gets asked, you know, what will your legacy be? What's your focus for the second term? And he says, I want to be remembered as a peacemaker. And you added an unifier. And I'm curious as to what role you play in that or what your designs are for how you can help facilitate that, because there's no question that the country needs a lot of unifying at this moment. Yes, it does. But I think he's unifier. He's unifier not just here in the United States, but around the world. He stopped many wars. And as well, here in the United States, it's a lot of opposition.

12:07And that's the problem, right? So the people are not agreeing with everything that he does. And, you know, they just need to come on the same page and see that he wants to make America only safer and better. Hear that, Jessica? Okay. So you hear in right-wing circles, Melania Trump is so smart and she speaks all these different languages. You hear in right-wing circles, Elon Musk is a genius. Right. These people are dipships of the highest order. As Melania was talking about her husband, he is unifier. He is a big unifier. He only wants safety in the United States. I mean, just elementary school sentence structure there.

12:53You understand, number one, why she plagiarized Harvard-educated Michelle Obama. Right. All right. But also, what they were playing in the background, the sizzle or the, what's it called? Trailer. Trailer. the trailer of the documentary is like how she became first lady of the United States. And here's the deal. People just want the truth right now. So listener, I'm going to tell you the truth, how she became first lady of the United States on her fucking back. Okay. And I, I'm not knocking that, you know, if a one, if that's your business strategy and that's your structure, I do what you want to do.

13:33It's a free country. I don't give a shit, but don't sit here and act like she's accomplished something. Don't sit here and act like she's smart and tell me she's this really smart, deep thinking first lady. She fucked Donald Trump. She cemented the marriage with Barron. She hates his fucking guts, but wanted to be first lady and just made this deal with herself. So let's just say what it is. And here's the deal. I'm not knocking it. If that's what you want to do, do it. Just don't lie to me about it. It's the fucking lying about it. The inauthenticity, lying and telling me Elon Musk is so smart.

14:11And then I hear him speak four sentences on a stage somewhere. And I'm like, what? Lying and telling me Melania Trump is this masterful linguist. And she lived in this country for 30 years. And that's still her sentence structure. He is unifier. He is big uni fire. I mean, shut the fuck up. Seriously. All right, listener, you know, I recently moved to New York and setting up your personal life is kind of like a puzzle piece. You have to get your career, the things you'd like to do, the restaurants you'd like to eat at, your local places, and of course, your healthcare. So there are certain things that I have to do annually, like go to my OBGYN, go to the dentist, et cetera.

15:40okay in all honesty i saw that last night and i was under the covers in my bed with my dogs and i busted out laughing so hard they woke up and they came up to covers and were like barking it's like an snl skit it's an snl skit i was just gonna say snl couldn't make one that was more parody than what we just saw it doesn't it doesn't exist i mean i could go through like what's her platform what she doesn't be best her husband's the biggest bully on the world in the world like that's i don't have to get there because you know i mean like it's bullshit remember all her shit who gives a fuck about the christmas christmas you know and then and then all the christians there's a war on christmas it's like yeah and melania church the biggest foot shoulder on the planet for it.

16:34I mean, she's launching missiles left and right. She can give a fuck about the Christmas. I'm an atheist and I put up two fucking Christmas trees in my house. So give me a break. All right, Kylie, I want to skip down to the next one. And this is just super important stuff that gets buried in all the fuckery of this administration. Put up number five, Kylie. These are four different headlines of this week. The new dark age, the Trump administration has launched an attack on knowledge itself. Another headline in the last week. Trump and RFK Jr. are destroying a generation of knowledge. The gutting of the administrative state of the universities and of expertise is like something out of the cultural revolution.

17:20The next one. We are watching a scientific superpower destroy itself. And the next one. U.S. government has lost more than 10 ,000 STEM PhDs since Trump took office. A science analysis reveals how many agencies fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. They have gutted scientific innovation in the United States of America. gutted the pro-life party has gutted cancer research they have gutted this stuff because they're dumb and they resent smart people and it's that simple they resent expertise because they don't understand it they don't have the mindset to do it so they'd rather say elon musk is smart and melania trump is a masterful linguist and and and then the other non-critical thinkers buy into this and think, oh yeah, we don't need science.

18:27But remember, these are the same people that wore MAGA hats all through COVID and refused to wear masks, refused to get the COVID vaccine. And lo and behold, they would get infected and they would end up in the emergency room begging, begging the nurses and the doctors, can I get the vaccine now? Can I get it now? Because all the propaganda and all the stupidity is superseded by their willingness to want to survive. And so their very final wish was for science. And remember that, MAGA, remember that on your deathbed, all this shit won't matter, but survival will. And this administration is stamping out all of that.

19:15And guess what? Guess who will get vaccines? guess who will get great health care? All of these oligarchs, just like during the COVID lockdown and all of the anti-vaccine shit, all the Fox News hosts, they all got COVID vaccines and plastered outside the Fox News offices. You cannot enter without a mask. Meanwhile, they were killing people with propaganda on air because this movie, this movement, The MAGA Christian movement is a pro-death cult. Dismantling science is pro-death. And I'm going to say it until I'm blue in the face. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with a lot more fucked up news.
