Trump Threatens the EU and Chaos Erupts in FBI Hearings as Kash's Team Faceplants

0:04All right, the FBI is in complete disarray, which is no surprise because it's being led by former podcaster, Kash Patel, who goes online and tweets about his girlfriend being a great patriot. So this isn't a serious person. And so then you always wonder, like, well, what are the other people at the FBI up to? Well, they got drug in front of Congress yesterday. And this is stunning. Watch every minute of this. Play the clip. I can water the domestic terrorist organization, Antifa. That's our primary concern right now. All right. That's what President Trump did. What did the FBI say? We share the same view.

0:45When you look at the data right now, you look at the domestic terrorist threat that we're facing, right now, what I see from my position is that's the most immediate violent threat that we're facing on the domestic side. So where is Antifa headquartered?

1:04What we're doing right now with the organization... Where in the United States does Antifa exist? If it's a terrorist organization and you've identified it as number one. We are building out the infrastructure right now. So what does that mean? I'm just, we're trying to get the information. You say Antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us as a committee, how did you come to that? Where do they exist? How many members do they have in the United States as of right now? Well, that's very fluid. It's ongoing for us to understand that. The same, no different than al-Qaeda and ISIS. No, no, I don't want you to ask one question, sir.

1:51I just want you to tell us. If you said Antifa is the number one domestic terrorist organization operating in the United States, I just need to know where they are, how many people. I don't want a name. I don't want anything like that. Just how many people have you identified with the FBI that Antifa is made of? Well, the investigations are active. Sir, you wouldn't come to this committee and say something you can't prove. I know. I know you wouldn't do that. But you did. Oh. Loving. Benny Thompson. Benny Thompson. Yeah. Just phenomenal. Pumps, what's your take on that? Here's the thing. While there's actually real domestic terrorist threats and domestic terrorism is on the rise, they're running around worried about an organization that does not exist.

2:54They're pouring all these resources and setting up infrastructure for something that's not real. That's how stupid these people are and how partisan they are, because they're not looking at the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, all the right, the Groypers, whatever. They're looking at a non-existent, what they think is a democratic leaning organization. It's fucking bananas. Well, and it's even more dangerous than you described because we know from journalists, independent journalist, Ken Klippenstein, which we reported on last week, that the FBI is starting to make a list of anti-Trump Americans.

3:35So that's what he's talking about right there. It is fake, but not to them. They are making people like you, like me, like our viewers that comment like other Americans freely exercising their First Amendment, they're forcing it into an imaginary organization. And here's the thing about domestic terrorism. Number one, Pumps and I are from Oklahoma City. And Timothy McVeigh, a right-wing domestic terrorist, drove a Ryder truck up to a federal building and set it off and bombed a governmental building with a daycare at the bottom of it. And then if we move along to January 6, these are all right-wing nutbags.

4:25Prior to this fascist regime, and I want to go on the record to say that I am anti-fascist, all of the government civil servants had determined that right-wing domestic terrorism was incubating in a massive problem. These people so desperately wanted Charlie Kirk's murder to be a Reichstag fire. And they came out with it and it didn't get as much traction as they wanted in the aftermath because you can't play anything that Charlie Kirk says. There's not one obituary, video obituary of him, like when you see anybody else that dies, where they use the deceased's own words to describe what an incredible person they were.

5:18You don't see that because they can't use it. And so this FBI agent sitting there just completely humiliating himself because what the plan is and what the congressman was getting at is that they are pulling this out of absolutely nothing. And they are making moms like pumps in me and dads and sisters and mothers and people that went to the No Kings March, all the boomers that Fox News made fun of on the No Kings March. That's Antifa. They're making everyday Americans that are resisting this fascist regime into an imaginary terrorist organization and it is so Nazi-esque. It's unbelievable. And then I want to play you guys this clip.

6:06This is yesterday. Pudding Boy says the following about Europe and we need to analyze it and talk about it as a group. Play the clip. European nations are reporting that your president might as well be the leader of the European nations also. They listen to us and they respect us like they've never respected us before. So we're going to work very hard. We get along with them. We want to get along with as many nations as we can. We've been ripped off by a lot of them for a lot of years. And frankly, Paps, can you imagine having to sit through a speech by him? Just the absolute bullshit. But here's the thing.

6:46Delusions of grandeur, like everybody in Europe loves me. Really, every time you go overseas, they put Jeffrey Epstein in your picture on the side of castles. Scotland protests and says Trump is a cat. He does not live in reality. He is delusional. The president of the United States is single-handedly trying to undermine, with all the help from Putin and his administration, undermine the European Union. The European people come out And they protest in their countries on the No Kings rally because he is so hated. So that's why his little minions have to say, everybody in Europe loves you, despite Trump is all over the place when you land at an airport.

7:32So here's my thing. Is it at first blush? Is it him being demented and delusions of grandeur? Or deeper than that, is this a part of the charm offensive used by nefarious actors to manipulate him into getting what they want, which is a new world order. So has Putin, who has assets inside the federal government, in my opinion, with like Steve Wyckoff, has he said, make sure you tell him Europe, if he does this, if he sides with Russia, he could be the leader of Europe, which we all know Putin wants to be. But he's so easily manipulated by using flattery and a charm offensive, that it's so dangerous.

8:16And I read this morning that now the Americans are trying to get four countries to pill out of the European Union, Poland, obviously Hungary, Italy, and I can't remember the other. So Italy, they're in Georgia Maloney has shown a real fascist streak. She has been very anti LGBTQ plus. She does show a little bit more empathy than a lot of these sociopaths, but it's going to be interesting to see because they have broken what they want to break here in the United States. And now they are all fixated. Elon Musk, all of the players, Peter Thiel, they want all of the Europeans data, and they're going to try to collect it as they come into the United States.

9:07And Europe is holding a lot of these tech oligarchs accountable. They want safety regulations on their website. So they are going full court press against Europe. So I just think somebody has told him this. I think somebody has told him, you can be the leader of Europe. And then he just hears that stuff. And it's like, oh, that's great. I got the FIFA Peace Prize. I'm going to be the leader of Europe. I'm Marie Antoinette. Where's Hannibal Lecter? You know, it just all plays into the dimension and everything. Okay. I want to now move on to Barry Weiss. Barry Weiss is now the head of CBS, which I'm going to nickname cringe bullshit because she's rolling out these videos and it's so incredibly cringe.

9:55And she is a walking, talking advertisement as to now they They are not a serious news organization in the least. We have all of our pillars of our democracy are completely under attack. Well, what's her first solo interview that she's rolling out? Erica Kirk. And here's a video of cringe bullshit and their crazy ass leader, Barry Weiss. Just watch how cringy this whole thing is. We just sat down for an hour with Erica Kirk and we talked about everything. We talked about what was going through her head when she stood on that stage and forgave her husband's alleged murderer. We talked about all of the conspiracies surrounding his assassination.

10:40And of course, we talked about grief, political violence and so much more. Watch this Saturday night on CBS at 8 p.m. Okay, number one, that is so cringe. Number two, can you imagine being a journalist, a head of a department, and you don't talk to her about gun violence? You don't talk to her about regulating firearms? The number one killer of Americans in this country, children, American children in this country is firearms. And you don't ask her about that. But Barry, why did you ask her? Now, your husband said that if some kids were killed in schools, as long as he had his second amendment, that he was fine with that.

11:21He was fine with senseless, preventable murders of children in schools in America, which is uniquely an American problem. And this cringe bullshit rolls out and she wants us to take her seriously. And this is what I want to remind everybody. We have agency. We have autonomy. They might force all of these oligarchs and all of these dipshits force and do all these hostile takeovers. They're nothing without customers. They are nothing. Look at what happened with Jimmy Kimmel and everybody canceled their Hulu. So I want to start a mass movement to ban cringe bullshit. That is a propaganda channel.

12:05She is not a serious journalist. She has no business being in charge of cringe bullshit news. And this is, we do not have to watch it. We don't have to listen to it. And if she wants to be serious, ask serious questions. Let's talk about gun violence because nobody surrounding Charlie Kirk wants to talk about what killed him. Nobody. They want to make it into conspiracy theories about Antifa, which we established earlier in the House Oversight Committee doesn't fucking exist. Well, and I would like for her to ask, Erica Kirk, when you found out your husband was murdered, did you think it was because of his homophobic remarks and then tele-homophobic remark?

12:50Do you think that it was related to racism? Do you think it was related to how he spoke about women? You are now running Turning Point USA. But by the logic of Turning Point USA, you should be at home raising children. These are questions that need to be asked, but they won't be. They'll be like, oh, poor Erica. You know, everybody feels sorry for Erica. She lost her husband. Okay, whatever. The problem is Charlie Kirk is not a martyr. He was a unrepentant racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and he kept the soil wound up for young men to feel like victims, something that we need to address across the board.

13:35And so this thing is just bullshit. And I can't help but remember Barry Weiss was in the room when Nora O'Donnell gave softball questions to Donald Trump. I wonder fucking why she felt the need to be in the room because he has dementia, obviously. Listener, everybody has somebody in their life that's hard to buy for.

Lastly, I wanna leave you with now the United States with an assist from the Heritage Foundation are just a complete mafia crime group. Indiana rejected the cheating attempts by the Trump administration to gerrymander the map, and the Heritage Foundation puts out the following tweet. Put this up. President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders, if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state. Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes, and every no vote will be to blame.

15:54Hashtag pass the map. And I just want to tell you all a personal story. Last year during the campaign, the Heritage Foundation was going to a private club called Citizen House in Oklahoma City. And some of my friends are members of this. And we covered it here because I think when you welcome an organization like the Heritage Foundation to your establishment, to your business, you are letting people know that you are okay with the dismantling of democracy, the complete misogyny and sexism and homophobia and racism that this organization sends out into the world. And the Heritage Foundation is a Christian nationalist mafia.

16:43And now the federal government is a mafia regime. If they're going to deny hardworking Indianans their funding, and the Heritage Foundation, which is Christian Values Foundation, and then these country club Republicans and other organizations and red states welcome them as though they are a legitimate think tank, those businesses deserve to go bankrupt. Shame on anybody who welcomes these bigots, these crime mafia style, insecure babies who want to force a solution and take away democracy, take away the vote of the Indiana State Senate. You don't get to do that and intimidate your way to power is just an advertisement of how number one, bad your ideas are, that you have to bully your way to get them done.

17:39And number two, how insecure you are. The insecurity of these people is such an exclamation point right now. I completely agree. And I also, when I saw all this come through, I thought, if Donald Trump withholds one federal dollar based on this tweet, that is extortion in my mind, And I would believe that he could be prosecuted when he leaves office and he would not get immunity because the immunity was executive power. It is not an executive decision necessary to the presidency to extort people to get your way. So I thought if he withholds one dollar, we've got a real live criminal case for prosecution.

18:24Do you think pumps, do you think the Supreme Court would say? I don't know. I mean, obviously they can justify anything that he does. But what my thinking is, is you have an organization that clearly has him by the balls going on to say this so that if he actually with, you know, he he does something in furtherance of the threat. It is extortion and punishment. I love you, but you think Alito, Gorsuch, the handmaid, Thomas, they're going to rule that he has immunity. They're going to rule that he has immunity from this. They will say it was a, they will find some loophole that they've been over.

19:08Every time he's taken it to the shadow docket, they keep siding with him time and time again. And I want to think that there's accountability, but we all have to come to the sad realization that the time for accountability with him was under the Biden administration and they fumbled the bag so bad. And the Supreme Court is already dug so deep in covering for him. I just have a hard time finding at some point they're going to go, oh, wait, this one, this one was criminal. if they didn't January 6th and they're going to get upset about this map. I just, I hope you're right. I hope that you're right.

19:49But sometimes you and I vacillate back and forth. I'm the person who has the hope and you give me a dose of realism today. You have a dash of hope and I'm trying to give you a dose of realism. I hope at some point somebody has, it's exhausting. Yeah. All right. We'll be back later with some more disappointing news.
