Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04I can't decide if I'm pissed off or relieved that Donald Trump didn't have all of the cameras for the thie thievery of Miss Machado's Nobel Peace Prize. It was all done in private. And then, of course, they roll out that she has given him her Nobel Peace Prize. And of course, he has accepted it. Here she is. Play the clip. Maria, did you offer him, did you offer to President Trump your Nobel Peace Prize? I present the President of the United States the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize. and I told him this, listen to this, 200 years ago. Okay. All right. Here's my thing. To me, it's a red flag. Any of these international players that are sucking up to an American regime that is unleashing a terrorist goon squad on the public, executing US citizens, detaining US citizens.
1:14And then they go under the guise of peace that somehow we're their ally or their helper. Call me crazy, but this is just a complete red flag to me. Look at Trump right here, you guys. Okay, here it is. President Trump with Nobel Peace Prize medal presented to him by Maria Corrina Machado. And then look at the shit eating grin on this man's face. And I thought for a second, is he like, this would have been, this guy can't, can't get on TV enough. He is constantly having show and tell presentations. Why is this not on TV? Why was this not filmed? And I'm wondering if his health was such yesterday as it ebbs and flows and he's falling asleep that they decided it couldn't be on TV.
2:02I don't know. But the news cycle is so depressing and so daunting. And when I prepare for them in the evenings and in the mornings, I have this overwhelming sense of doom and gloom. And I know that you all do as you come and you think, God, I don't want to know what's going on in the news anymore, but you want to be informed citizens. And so you come to our channel or to another pro-democracy channel. So let's just take a look at what MAGA is watching right now. Okay. Mind you, these same MAGA are probably like, oh, yeah, Trump finally got his Nobel Peace Prize, not even realizing how embarrassing, humiliating the entire exchange is that she gave her Peace Prize to him and that he accepted it with his shit-eating grin in his Marie Antoinette office.
2:55But here's Candace Owens, who gets millions, millions of views in the right wing. And now she is claiming that Charlie Kirk is a time traveler. Play the clip. Charlie think he was a time traveler. He said, as I showed you in earlier messages, that he was a time traveler and he had to find me. Is that just something people are saying to their homies in text messages? And again, not anything that I would have placed so much emphasis on back when he was saying it, but it came to fruition. The other parts, he did die young. Why did he think that him dying young was necessary in order to change things?
3:34He did die young. It is related to Turning Point USA in some way or another. At the very least, we can all agree it's related to him speaking at a campus event for Turning Point USA. I'm totally occupied by this. I tell you, I read these messages and I'm going, what? I mean, we are living in the strangest timeline to where those of you that come to listen to us or the Midas Touch or some other YouTube channel similar, you're trying to figure out what's happening in the world. What is this administration up to? What are they doing to oppress citizens? How are they realigning the world order? How are they dismantling the rule of law and the judiciary to rig it for these oppressed billionaires like Elon Musk, who has more grievances?
4:26And it's a concern, like you're very concerned. And then there are people in the world right now that wake up and then they're consuming that. It's insanity. But you have an administration that is a very serious position. Being in the executive branch of the United States of America is a very, very serious place. And it used to be revered by Republicans. And the press is such an integral part to the United States. It's such an integral part of the way our country operates. And now we have Caroline Levitt, I mean, chief propagandist, very unserious person, as the White House press secretary. And here's just a couple of things that happened yesterday in the briefing room.
5:20Play the clip. As it took us a year to get you here, but I'm very happy to see you. I know you have a new podcast, The Riley Gaines Show. And so thank you. And you brought a beautiful baby and your lovely husband too. So thank you so much for joining. And why don't you kick us off? Absolutely. Well, thank you. First and foremost, congratulations to you. Being a girl mom will change your life in the best way possible. So excited you get to shop all the pink and the frilly and the bows. I was in Washington, D.C. earlier this week for the Supreme Court case. There were two arguments that were heard.
5:52Okay. I think we've heard enough. So Riley Gaines and Caroline Levitt are this breed of Christian woman who they wear their crosses. They lead all conversations with their faith and prayer and the Lord and Jesus and all of this stuff. They are laser focused on marginalizing marginalized people. So while all of these horrific things are happening where people are genuinely suffering in the United States of America, one would intellectually think, well, these followers of Christ would be really upset about the children that are being detained by eyes that have cancer. That seems terrible. Like we, we need to, as faithful people, we need to advocate for them.
6:43The, uh, woman Renee Good that was murdered by an ICE agent who afterwards called her a fucking bitch after he executed her. That maybe the Riley Gaines and the Caroline Levitt's of the world who will not shut up about how Christian they are. That maybe that would be something that they would lead with. They would lead with inhumanity. They would lead with injustice. And they would say, as a person of faith, I'm going to stand with these marginalized people. Instead, it's all of these culture war shit that affects 0 % of the population. Here's the thing about Riley Gaines, you guys. She's the swimmer that tied a trans woman for fifth place.
7:30So even if that swimmer, the trans swimmer, were barred or banned from swimming, Riley Gaines is still a fifth place swimmer. It literally changes nothing in her life. All of this stuff changes nothing in anybody's life, except for it emphasizes that we have a white evangelical cult where they roll out these women to gender wash the horrific bigotry and misogyny that this regime wants to execute on the American people. But also, these people are the biggest whiners on the planet. This is the fuck your feelings crowd. And while at the same time, we're so pro-Jesus. And so here is Caroline Levitt having a meltdown, crying like a baby in the press court.
8:25Play the clip. Vehicle. Look at what it says. It says F ICE. You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger, proudly so, at the camera. Another ICE individual, a vehicle that was vandalized last night by these left-wing agitators. People don't do this without encouragement from people in power who make them feel like it's okay. B-O-O-H-O-O. Boo hoo. Of course, in a place where we value the First Amendment, people are going to say, fuck ICE. People even say, fuck Trump. That is uniquely American. The president, your boss of the United States, just 48 hours ago, somebody screamed at him, pedophile protector, and he screamed, fuck off, and flipped that guy off.
9:18Now, one could argue that that is beneath the office of the presidency, but we wouldn't expect you all to do that because this is the man who's running around putting gold cursive signs up everywhere, Oval Office, Rose Garden. So the fact that she's sitting there whining like a little bitch because people are expressing their First Amendment right, standing up to injustice, flipping off ICE agents, like maybe you're not a candidate to live in the United States of America. Like this is not that big of a deal. The larger, more egregious human rights violation is not people telling ICE to go fuck themselves.
10:03It is that ICE, these pink arm, low T, now we all know, former Proud Boys, former Don't Tread on Me, Joe Rogan listeners are out there harassing people based on their skin color, shooting a woman because her wife said, hey, why don't you go get some lunch, big boy? And that little guy had to execute a woman with her lab in the back of her car three times in the face. And we can't say, fuck you. Or that somehow because people are saying, fuck ice or flipping off an ice agent, they're justified in terrorizing the American public. And this woman, Caroline Levitt, with an assist from Riley Gaines, these devout evangelical Christians, they're standing with the bullies.
10:56And they think we're stupid. They think the American public is stupid, that we cannot see that ICE, this is not law enforcement. Even Joe Rogan is calling ICE the Gestapo. It is abundantly obvious what's happening. So let's check in with the Democrats. What are they doing to resist? What are they doing to resist this regime. I'm sure they're all unified and voting against them every single chance they can get. And we have a vote that happened yesterday in the House where 341 to 79 voted to fund Trump's warmongering foreign policy agenda. Only 57 Democrats voted no. And Shannon Watts responds to this.
11:48Again, I ask, in all seriousness, why do the Democrats continue to betray their constituents when Republicans don't even need their votes? This is an epic betrayal. Do you think if the roles were reversed right now, if the Democrats had the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, everything, the presidency, that they're going to be voting with the Democrats? We play two different games here. And who are these Democrats trying to appeal to? Republicans? Country Club Republicans? Do you think they're going to all of a sudden go, oh, Trump's a maniac. I triple Trumped, but you know what? I'm going to go vote for a Democrat now.
12:33They're not going to. It's never going to happen. You need to be a resistance party. These people are intentionally dismantling the American government and you are giving them an assist and you are providing comfort and you are not standing with the people of the United States of America. I don't know about you guys, but I love to start the new year with a little wardrobe refresh and it can be so expensive, especially after coming out of the big holiday spend. That's why I want to share with you my personal little secret. And it's not that big of a secret anymore. It's Quince. Quince has all the staples covered.
13:13I personally love their soft Mongolian cashmere sweaters that feel like designer pieces without the markup. They also have these 100 % silk tops. I wear them under blazers. They're incredible.

14:01This man, this video right here, it's not all these freak show MAGA people. This is the gist of middle America. Play this clip right here. This is nuts. This is fucking, yeah. And you're right in the middle of this shit. What the fuck is going on, dude? This is insane. Have you ever gone out to these sort of things before? Never, never. I've never protested in my life. My brother, my brother's here. He does it all the time. I've never, I got, dude, I, like I said, I'm far enough away, but close enough. And i'm sitting in my cushy house and look at and get mad and i yeah they're just trying to scare people and you know but but but why shoot people my no you know what really pisses me off is the fact that they detain people cuff them and then still beat the out of them they tell you it's immigrants only immigrants it's anybody i i have friends that got detained and all they were doing was driving home from work what the sounds like you don't fit the definition of the uh No, and I'm not fucking paid to be here like everybody fucking says.
15:03What the fuck is that? I got to work in the goddamn morning, just like everybody else. I'm just here trying to stand up for community, dude. We're all human beings here. I don't give a shit who you are, where you came from, what color you are. It doesn't fucking matter. This is wrong.
15:20Okay, where is that from Democratic leadership? Where is that? because that's what the overwhelming majority of Americans see when they see what's happening with ICE. Saying abolish ICE is similar to if you were to study history right now, if people were saying in Nazi Germany before it really took off in the beginning when they're forming it, if people were saying abolish the Gestapo, that would age very well. The people who would have said that back in 1930s Germany would be recorded, current, present day, as being on the right side of history. The people who would have voted against Hitler every single time would be recorded as on the right side of history.
16:09We've all asked ourselves when we studied this, how did people go along with it? How did everyday people go along with it? And my question right here, right now, I understand why evangelicals go along with this shit. I see Caroline Leavitt. I see Riley Gaines. I see Moses Mike Grinder Johnson. They're the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Don't even get me started on Ted Cruz, Rafael. We know they're pieces of shit. We know Trump is a piece of shit. We know Stephen Miller is a piece of shit, but the Democrats, that's your electorate. And that's in all 50 states. That is the average American's response to this.
16:48And you have to go patty cake, play patty cake with these fascists. And it is why we lost. It's why we lost in 2016. It's why we lost in 2024, because you just don't have the fight in you. You go play patty cake with these people because for some reason, maybe it's corporate money, maybe it's something broken within you. Maybe there's a subconscious kneel to patriarchal structures to the rich white man. if we can get the rich white guy to support us, well, that would be a real coup, wouldn't it? Stop. Stop it. Fight for the country like this guy did. He's not a paid protester. He's fucking pissed off at injustice.
17:32And so Democrats take a lesson from an everyday American and start putting up a resistance because there is a huge awakening happening in the American public right now. And what you're going to be surprised about is not only is there an awakening about the Republican Party, but there's an awakening about corporate Democrats that facilitate, enable, and allow themselves to be the paid, controlled opposition to this regime. And people see it. So that's all I have for this episode. I'm sure everybody's going to sleep so much better knowing that Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize. And here's the thing, prediction.
18:09He still will not shut the fuck up about it. We're still going to hear about his grievances towards Norway. So this still won't fix him. All right. Make sure you subscribe. We'll be back later with more news.
