She always votes democratic because she's a woman and is raising a daughter in Oklahoma. So she knows that you can't vote for a Republican if you're raising a female in Oklahoma. She texted me yesterday and said, Hey, I saw that Trump was like selling watches. Isn't that illegal? And I called her and I go, Julie, that is the most minuscule thing that he's doing.
0:41I mean, the corruption that this man is doing, the watches and this right here, let me put this up, Kylie. Trump tells supporters they can get the same medal he claims he gave to J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Caroline Levitt if they send him money. It's the Trump Patriot Medal. Receive the honor. This is one of the greatest honors in the Trump world. J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Caroline Levitt have this award, send money. It's unbelievable. And it's also unbelievable how like somebody like my friend, Julie, who's pretty apolitical, but when it's time to vote, she goes and votes the way she needs to for herself, for her gender, for her daughter, for marginalized people.
1:28And she just checks in on the news. And I thought it was so quaint and cute that she thought the only thing he was doing wrong was selling watches. What about Trumpy Trout? He has booze with his name on it on military basis. This man, what I found hilarious about this, I mean, obviously it's appalling, but he's asking for money and demeaning Marco Rubio, Caroline Levitt, and J.D. Vance all at the same time. He's saying, I don't give a fuck about that medal. If you give me money, I'll give you one too. I mean, it demeans them as he's grifting. And here's the deal. He'll probably sell out. And I just want to remind everybody, all the people that have been investing in all this Trump shit, they're losing their ass and Trump's making billions of dollars.
2:19Just FYI. Well, and I just, my point with this is that this is the most harmless of the illegal things. and the corrupt things that he is doing. You get up to billions of dollars of crypto you have now where he's selling out American national security to Russia for deals. You have him pardoning the drug smuggler, former president of Honduras, for the tech oligarchs. So my point with this was that it's quaint to think that these little Trumpy trout and these things are so illegal when the corruption is so much deeper and the breadth of it and the cascading effects of it are just staggering. So when I spoke to my friend, Julie, I'm like, oh, I wish that it was just the watch because that's child's play compared to all of the other corrupt stuff that he's doing.
3:14All right. And then I think he's still riled up and wound up like a cheap clock that he cannot win the Nobel Peace Prize. So he's done something to get as close as he can possibly do. Put this up, Kylie. The United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. has been renamed as the Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace. The State Department did this this week. Pulling USA said it's also cringe. And this is just wild to me that I remember, I'm old enough to remember when Barack Obama was president, how Fox News would talk about how he was arrogant and he was so stuck up and he thought he was better than everybody else.
3:57And he thought he was a king. Yes, Fox News said that. They said Barack Obama is acting like a king. And now you have Kanks, who's out there putting these huge North Korea style banners of his mugshot all over Washington, DC. He's changing the names of buildings. He's redesigning the Oval Office in the trashy, most garish way. And this old queen is such a malignant narcissist. He will never, ever stop. And shit like this, if any other president did this and acted in such a grandiose way, it would be a headline. But basically this is kind of buried in the news cycle because it's so minor compared to all of the other shit that he's doing.
4:42It kind of goes along with the coins that renaming an institute of peace. And I saw that the social media post that the State Department put up was something to the effect of, well, he settled eight wars. And I'm like, this motherfucker has done, name the eight wars, name them for me. You can't do it. He is so pathetic. And I guess what my problem is, is I can't understand why he's not embarrassed at these cabinet meetings, why he's not embarrassed. Because you're shameless, shameless. I mean, it's a part of his mental illness. He's incapable of feeling that type of embarrassment. And behind the malignant narcissist pumps and listener, it's just festering insecurity.
5:28So he thinks, okay, if I name the building Donald J. Trump, that will fix me. If I win the Nobel peace prize, that will fix me. If I humiliate all of my former critics and get them to come bend the knee to me, that will fix me. If I humiliate all these tech oligarchs and get them to bend the knee to me, that will fix me. And this, the thing is nothing will ever fix this man. Only death. Death is the only thing that fixes his constant, pervasive, nagging, malignant insecurities that manifest in this homicidal narcissism. nothing will ever fix it until he is dead that's the only thing and then after that there's going to be some you know Laura Loomer you should probably go on a fucking 10-year vigil and we'll have some of these cultists that just will never ever ever let it end sadly all right put up this Politico headline all right young Republicans chapter plans to host far-right German leader after the quote, I love Hitler chat.
6:31Politico is reporting that young Republican chapter plans to host this far right German leader, you guys. And so here is just my question. You have Israeli groups calling Ms. Rachel an anti-Semite of the year. Yet there's really hardly ever any mention of Elon Musk. There's hardly ever any mention of the incubating of real anti-Semitism. I'm talking about real Jew haters. And I'm telling you guys, the most anti-Semitic people I know are the most Republican and the most religious, the WASPs. And it's amazing to me how these Israeli groups ignore and allow anti-Semitism to incubate and excuse it so much on the right.
7:22And then if Ms. Rachel, who is not an anti-Semite, who speaks about universal human rights of children, she's called an anti-Semite. Or Zoran Mamdani, who says, yes, I'm concerned about anti-Semitism and I'm also concerned about Islamophobia. Both concern me. That he's considered an anti-Semite. And I'm just so curious as to when I see the most glaring anti-Semitism that really makes Jewish people far less safe. It is all of the incubation of this going on on the right, in my opinion. Look no further than Trump's boat parades in Florida. Swastikas all over the place. Elon Musk, nobody said a word about the Sig Hyls, but I think it's worth pointing out that these people, they're so worried about, you know, anti-Semitism, which I agree is wrong.
8:17But you have, when this whole story broke about the young Republicans, J.D. Vance, I think the pretty close to the quote was, these are just kids. Yet when you see the Epstein files and the pedophiles, these are young girls. They protect the white male at all costs. They love the fact that there is incubating hatred for every sex. And by they, I mean the far right, the super MAGA, Heritage Foundation, I would venture to say, based on a couple of things I've just read about them. These people like this. They like the fact that the young Republicans are moving super right. Right. I agree with that.
9:06My question was, how is it that these Jewish organizations, their number one priority is anti-Semitism? I agree with you. The WASP are all moving. They like it. I agree with that. My curiosity is why do these Jewish rights groups, these Israeli rights groups who have vowed to go out and stamp out anti-Semitism. Why is it always so lopsided in really the people that I hear that Miss Rachel, Zoran Mamdani, and others, Hannah, the Jewish actress, lots of Jewish people say, no, we are concerned about anti-Semitism as well. And we see it over here. And it just amazes me how the far right Zionists have sought refuge in these very WASP, very anti-Semitic echo chambers.
9:59And these echo chambers are allowed to be overtly anti-Semitic with impunity, or in the case of Elon Musk, Double Sig Hiles, the anti-defamation leagues. Greenplatt, he goes out and excuses it immediately. And this incubation of anti-Semitism in young Republicans, and it's important to point out that these young Republicans are ages like 20 to 40, they're adults, that it hardly gets a blip on the radar screen. And so it's just really interesting to me when people weaponize their identity and then join a group of bigots that also weaponize the identities of and are trafficking in bigotry and trafficking in racism.
10:47And then these women that are in this group, the Jewish people that have sought refuge in this group, the gay people that have sought refuge in this group, you're all fucked. Just like the Latinos for Trump. Like they're not going to bail you out. It's just wild to me. All right, moving along. The biggest Hunter Biden critic, Don Jr., who I'm referred to as dumb, of course, the older brother of dumber, he has scored a$600 million U.S. federal government deal from daddy. Pop this up. Donald Trump Jr. backed startup scores a$600 million U.S. federal government deal. President's sons fund 1789 capital poised to capitalize from father's administration.
11:32I remember a strung out Don Jr. on his podcast looked like maybe some sort of drug hangover or perhaps drug use. I don't know. That's just what I read the analysis on Elon Musk First Amendment website. And he was losing his mind over Hunter Biden. And here we are with Dom doing exactly what everybody has always known that the Trumps were going to do, except for the triple Trumpers. These people like to cheat. This is DEI. This is Nepo baby. It's never been about DEI for these guys. It's always been about racism. And DEI is just the new N word right now. And Donald Trump Jr. is a full blown DEI hire and a Nepo baby for his daddy, just like Jared Kushner.
12:27It's just corruption, corruption, corruption. It's corruption blended with complete and total incompetence. Don Jr., he's not qualified to run a dog school and he's going to get this big, huge contract with the Pentagon. Where are the fucking Republicans? Where is James Comer, who we heard about Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden? Like, this is supposed to be separated by regulations and laws, and we are allowing it. We're seeing it before our eyes. And I've heard Republicans say, well, I mean, he's not trying to hide it, and that's the difference. Corruption is still corruption, regardless of whether you do it in the open or private.
13:10It is so stunning because you know this is just going to be a massive grift. Nothing good is going to come out of this. And the American taxpayer, they're the ones that are going to get fucked. But guess what? Nobody cares. Yeah. And mostly who doesn't care are MAGA, because MAGA, Republican policies have lied to voters for decades and they have fed their white privilege that you can be poor. but we're going to favor your whiteness and feed that part of you. And I feel like there is a paradigm shift right now in the country where even people in overtly red communities are seeing this grotesque wealth by Donald Trump in a time where we are cutting SNAP benefits, cutting USAID and people are, the Christian signaling is even overtly hypocritical for even some of the worst hypocrites.
14:16It's really getting hard to look away. So I hope that the democratic base continues to, democratic establishment continues to follow the evolution of the democratic base, because I do think that we can really, really beat these guys and hopefully get an FDR style reign, that many years of reign for working class Americans and have a very stable democracy. And lastly, I want to leave you with this. All of this stuff is done for this man right here. This is a toddler in the middle of a manic episode in the Oval Office. Play the clip. You have to look at combustion engines. Biden and Buttigieg actually did an analysis.
15:04I mean, it's just, it's, I know that that is just an eight second clip, but him sitting there, you know, he's just sitting there like coloring. If you notice he's sitting there like, you know, goofing off why he has to have an entourage of dipshits at all times. I think it's because the people surrounding him are dumber and more morally corrupt than he is. So I kind of get, he's like, okay, so if I'm here, I have more Riz than they do. I need to have all of these people behind me Because I mean Duffy is dumber than a box of hot rocks His wife is on Fox News Constantly weaponizing her gender To annihilate the rights of other women And browbeat women who want to have careers And then he just like a toddler Just boot edge edge I mean shut the fuck up So you can say Pete Buttigieg I mean were we supposed to have a fucking parade Down Pennsylvania Avenue you, you fucking feces throwing, nut job.
16:01And here's the thing. He is who he is. He's a piece of shit. He's always going to be a piece of shit. It's never going to change. All of the people standing behind him, all of the people that continue to support him at this moment, this is the cancer in the country. The people who excuse that that eight second clip is acceptable that we are, we're going to infantilize this man all the way to the deathbed. It's just a level of toxicity that I just can't handle. Well, and the giggling in there, it's such a knee slapper. It's just so profoundly inappropriate. And the dignity of the White House in my mind left before the East Wing even went because he has reduced every person in that administration in that building to being so undignified and incompetent.
16:55Everything I grew up thinking the White House was, it's the exact opposite now. These are not smart people. These are not experts. All right. That's all we have. Please like, subscribe, drop us a comment to feed the algorithm, and we'll be back later with more news.
