Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, Stephen Miller wants to call you. You sitting at home watching this YouTube channel or listening on your commute to this podcast, he wants to call you a domestic terrorist. This is projection because everybody knows the MAGA party are the domestic terrorists. And no one has terrorized this country more than the extremely evil Senator Mitch McConnell, who every single chance he could get to vote against paid leave, He voted to side with the corporations and not with people that are sick. But what is he doing right now? He's doing what every Republican does. He's being a hypocrite. I think he's probably half dead, brain dead, because all he could do is just hop on the phone if he can talk to compulsive liar Lady Jennings all the time.
0:51He certainly could speak to the press and his voters, but he refuses to. He refuses to, but yet he's taking in a paycheck from the Kentucky taxpayers. Here is the governor of Kentucky, Andy Brashear, on the matter. Play the clip. Have you heard anything back from his office and how he's doing? I've heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell. And while I do hope that he is getting better, I've known him my entire life. I wish him no harm. I actually wish him good health. His boss are the people of Kentucky. And this is why the Senate, the Republican-controlled Senate, feels so broken. They feel like they're not accountable to anyone.
1:29All he needs to do is call into this show for two minutes or Fox News for two minutes or do a video for two minutes to the people he's supposed to serve. But you know what? He absolutely refuses to do it. And then does he refuse to do it or is he incapable of doing it? Is this a man who voted against anybody having anything good in their lives and always voted for all of these super rich, crusty, pink arm, white Republicans? And then he's just still tormenting everybody when he's probably brain dead. Yes, that's exactly what's happening. Does the Republican Party give a shit? No. Do the voters of Kentucky give a shit?
2:07I think they probably do. But the Republican Party has taught the electorate, we get to abuse you. And so they do it with impunity. And get this, while there's all this red scare, you know, Stephen Miller, oh my God, Antifa is on the left, which are just, you know, all of us here. and oh my God, they're communists. Every single time Donald Trump has a choice to align himself with the good forces in the world, pro-democracy governments, or with authoritarians, what does he pick? Authoritarians. Why does he pick the authoritarians? Because the authoritarians all have psychological profiles on him that are razor thin.
2:49And what the profile is, Tell him he's great. Tell him he's the best, most badass leader you've ever seen in your life. And then Trump is just absolutely lapping it up. Pop this up. Trump says he has ordered Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and calling the drills hostile. Trump says he is helping North Korea because South Korea refused to join his failed war against Iran. Also in Trump 1.0, Trump said that he had fallen in love with Kim Jong-un. I would think that such a crazy unhinged statement when he went on about, oh, we write love letters to each other and we've fallen in love.
3:37I would think that the electorate would be like, you know what? This guy's pretty crazy. Let's not vote him in again. He's falling in love with a dipshit dictator. No, we voted him in again. And the day before this, the day before all of this, Trump posted on Truth Social about how much he loves Kim Jong-un. Pop this up. Trump, despite the unfriendly look on this particular picture, there are many where we're smiling. Kim Jong-un and I get along great. So this is just, these are Trump's heroes. I mean, Kim Jong-un, you guys, like he mind controls his population so much. And this is for real what I'm about to tell you, that the people of North Korea think that he doesn't take a shit.
4:31I mean, that's the level of insanity that we have going in here. You can Google it. They tell the Koreans, Kim Jong-un is so amazing, he doesn't even take a shit. So this is just insane. Of course, Trump, the crazier, the more of a pathological liar, the more you deny people human rights, the more you take, take, take, and fleece, fleece, fleece for yourself. Of course, Trump is like, sign me up. I'm team Kim Jong-un, which again brings me to why is the Republican Party, all of these national security Republicans, these pink arm crusty white guys, why do they go along with this absolute face plant of American power?
5:08Okay. Now we have Marjorie Taylor Greene jumping back in saying that the Trump administration is considering nuking Iran. And I have to say, I kind of believe her because the Iranians are like, we're not dealing with your crazy president. We're not dealing with all the incompetent people around him. They're liars. They're idiots. We're done. Benjamin Netanyahu, it has been rumored, is the one who told Trump the Iranians are trying to kill you, which is why he got into the catering cart. And then catering cart boy and Natalie Harp then went over and left everybody else on the decoy plane. Why would Benjamin Netanyahu do this?
5:48Because he's trying to sabotage any negotiations with Iran. He's trying to be like, you can't negotiate with them. You can't negotiate with them. Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump getting together and psycho nut job Pete Hexeth, I think they would all absolutely 100 percent nuke Iran. So pop this up. Marjorie Taylor Greene says they are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes, you read that correctly. It's real. I'm not speculating. I know. And it's pure evil. And she goes on and on. So here's the thing. I think they're going to try to do something batshit crazy before the midterms.
6:30Because even people inside Trump's regime are saying, yeah, I think we're going to get completely taken out. Blue tsunami out the wazoo in these midterms. And so Benjamin Netanyahu has been very astute in staying in power by creating crises that keep him in power. He has a vested interest in keeping Donald Trump in power because he either has compromising information on him with the Epstein files, which I think is probably a fairly reasonable thing to think. And also he knows how to pile on praise to him to manipulate him. So he both of these people have a vested interest in keeping Trump 2.0 in power.
7:11And here's a clip of Trump now threatening to bomb Amman. Now, remember, this is a man who would not shut up forever about the Nobel Peace Prize. OK, so he did win the FIFA Peace Prize. But it's just shocking to me that the FIFA Peace Prize winner would say shit like this. Play the clip. Now, I asked the president about these parallel talks that are taking place between Iran and Oman about control of the Strait of Hormuz. And the president told Fox News, if Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the S out of them. We went on to talk about a. Perfect. I mean, that's just perfect. That's what when I think of peace, that's that's exactly exactly what I think.
7:54And to illustrate my point about how Israel, the government of Israel, has a vested interest in keeping the morally bankrupt Trump regime in power because they are also morally bankrupt. Here is a quote from Ben Gavir on the Palestinians. Pop this up. I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. not just those who pose an immediate threat. There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They aren't even people. So who else thinks like this? Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller talks not about like just assassinating them, but Stephen Miller says we need to deport 100 million people.
8:45But this also sounded eerily familiar to Trump 1.0 when he asked people in his cabinet if he could shoot protesters to clear out the park. I believe it's called Lafayette Park so that he could walk over to the church and hold a Bible upside down. He was like, can't we just clear them out? Can't you just shoot them in the legs? And they're like, no, it doesn't work like that. So this is what bonds this government, ours, Donald Trump's MAGA regime, the fascist MAGA regime. And this is what bonds Israel. This is why Israel wanted Donald Trump to be president over Kamala Harris, because he doesn't give a shit what Ben Gavir says.
9:26That doesn't shock him at all. He's probably like, well, yeah, they could clear it out and then we could have a great real estate development there. They don't value human life while the Republican Party goes on, you know, national tours telling us how they are going to fight for life and make sure rapists have more rights than women. or they're going to make sure that a 13-year-old victim of incest doesn't have any rights. And so this is the fundamental link between the MAGA regime and Israel. They do not value human life at all. The Ben Gevers, the Stephen Millers, the Pete Hegsess, the Donald Trumps, and everybody who went along with it.
10:14This is blood on your hands. This is not going to age well. And I will just say anybody within the MAGA orbit or anybody within the Israeli government orbit, if you are not robustly speaking out about this, it's an act of violence, in my opinion. This is something that needs to be condemned from top to bottom, but they won't. They won't do it. They'll continue to propagandize and gaslight us. all right listener i don't know about you but as you start to age a little bit your body starts feeling off your brain feels foggy and i'm like something is going on here so i go to the doctor and i'm like i swear i'm not a hypo something's going on they're like no you're completely fine everything's great but you just know yourself and you know your gut instinct that's why i'm so proud i signed up for superpower it's one simple blood draw that gives you information on over 100 of your blood biomarkers, your annual physical checks, 10 to 15 for comparison.

11:57And then I want to leave you with this. This is a clip on how corporate media covers for the Israeli government. So remember what I just read to you from Ben Gavir. Assassinate 40 people every night because they're not worthy of life. No due process, no care about where, you know, just kill them because he wants to completely take over the Strip. So watch how corporate media covers up for homicidal, genocidal murderers. Play the clip. People committing a genocide in Gaza. That is factually incorrect. It has been regarded by the United Nations and Amnesty International and even Israeli human rights organizations, including B'Tselem.
12:42The definition of genocide in the UN, the UN has said this, does not apply to what many people might think as a disproportionate wartime action. That's what that is in many people's minds. Genocide is a very specific thing. Actually, genocide being committed against Jewish people, not by Israel. Okay.
13:08This is the fundamental problem with where we are in this stage of what's going on geopolitically. is that gal right there, she says that she thinks she's an expert. And you have 20 or 30 different experts, genocide scholars. And she thinks, this news reporter in South Florida, that she knows more than all of the experts. And she gets on TV and she says that. And she's not fired. That's the problem. That woman should be fired for bold face lying and good on Oliver Larkin. Everybody in Florida, please go vote for him. I've had him on the podcast. He is incredible. But the fundamental problem right now, think about Scott Jennings gets on TV every night and lies, intentionally lies, and he's not fired.
14:03That lady gets on television and intentionally lies and she's not fired. because the Fox News lesson here is Fox News lied and lied and lied and lied and lied to their electorate. They lied so much, they were ordered to pay$1 billion in damages to the voting machine company that they lied about. Fox News ponies up the$1 billion and then continues to go on air and lie and nobody cares. We have just accepted lying as a part of discourse. And that to me is such a fundamental problem right now. That woman didn't say it is my opinion that all of these experts are wrong. She flat out then flips the script and says there's a genocide being propagated or instigated on the Jewish people.
14:58So it's just lie on top of lie on top of lie. And the corporate media allows the lies, which makes them not media, but propaganda arms of these fascist regimes.
