Trump's Decline Getting More Dangerous; MAGA's Craziest are Splitting From Him?

0:04All right, we have another bonkers cabinet meeting. It's just unbelievable when I see these people on television, and I'm sure you guys experienced this, it's surreal. Like, are these people seriously running the country? And I'm afraid to say they are. So first up, we have RFK Jr., the man who staged a bear homicide in Central Park, cut off the head of a whale, has a brain worm, is an attorney, not a physician. And here he is in the cabinet meeting, just straight up making shit up about science. Play the clip. You said show the countries that use the highest level of autism. Cuba has the highest, the lowest level in the world of a significant use, and it has the lowest autism rate in the world.

0:53Oh, this is not this positive. It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof. Okay. He just said there, I don't have proof. We're doing studies to make the proof. And the reason that Cuba has lower cases of autism is because they don't have a robust healthcare system and it's a communist country or former communist country. So this is just, it's such a false equivalency. It's so divorced from science. It's so divorced from fact. But the most important thing to remember here is, you know, tens of thousands of Americans have autism and this administration demonizing it as though it's something that has to be cured or fixed or prevented when people with all varying degrees of autism live around around us and among us all the time this is just another way that this administration beats up on people all right here we have more of rfk making making shit up just straight up lying and then kanks chimes in this is unbelievable watch this clip yeah there's also just there's many many other confirmation studies.

2:04There's two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. So, you know, none of this is this positive. But all of it is stuff that we should be paying attention to. But, you know, there's a tremendous amount of proof or evidence, I would say. It's a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time ago. Okay. Kanks just said there's a tremendous amount of proof regarding this. There's zero. And that as a non-doctor, in his opinion, and that he's been studying autism for a long time. I mean, you guys, that's like saying I am studying to be an astronaut.

2:47It just has never happened. It will never happen. I'm never going to do it. the fact that he tries to pitch to people that in his spare time, his side hustle is studying the links of acetaminophen, circumcision, and autism is so insane, but that he just lies with impunity nonstop. And all of this has become normal. The lack of expertise, the display of the lack of expertise, the besmirching and thumbing their nose to democracy and accountability. These guys are governing like they are never going to leave. And these humiliation episodes that go on in the cabinet room are so embarrassing. It's unbelievable that nobody in there gets secondhand cringe.

3:35And that's what just mystifies me about this whole thing. I get a couple people doing crazy shit, But that's just a room full of people and nobody is talking anybody off the ledge and saying, we look like a bunch of pussies. I mean, we're all sitting here kissing this man's ass. He's clearly got dementia. Nobody says it. They all just go along with it. All right, here is another video of Kanks. And he just, this man fundamentally doesn't understand the American public. He doesn't understand the electorate. And fundamentally, he doesn't understand that human beings all have the same needs. And then they might have political preferences that are opinions that are different.

4:19Listen to how he interprets the needs of Republicans versus the needs of Democrats. Seth, play this clip. We'll be making cuts that will be permanent. And we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you. I guess that makes sense. But we're only cutting Democrat programs. But we're going to start that. And we have Russell, who can talk to you about it if he wants to. But we'll be cutting some very popular Democrat programs that aren't popular with Republicans, frankly, because that's the way it works. They wanted to do this. So we'll give a little taste of their own medicine. Okay.

4:54Let me tell you the Democratic programs that are super popular with Republicans. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and on and on. All of these were FDR initiatives that are wildly popular. And a ton, millions, I would say, of MAGA voters and MAGA supporters have been radicalized by Fox News. They have seen Fox News and the Republican Party scapegoat minorities and otherized people so that they don't realize the people that are stealing from them are the people who don't need to steal from anybody at all. The wealthiest industry titans on the planet. So the fact that he thinks that Republicans have one set of needs and Democrats have a different set tells me that he only knows himself and his rich Republican friends.

5:46they just don't like to pay taxes. That's it. And they want the system to be rigged so that they don't have to pay taxes. So yeah, the people he knows, they don't need any sort of government services and whatever they need, they'll hire privately. So this is just, it's such an aberration from what leaders we have had in the past. Like I didn't like George W. Bush at all. I didn't think he was very smart. I thought he was a terrible leader, but there was a compassion in him that cared about, appeared that he cared about a lot of Americans. Was he a war criminal and stuff? Yes. It's another episode for another day, but this is such a divorce from precedent, from other leaders.

6:28It's just, every time I see it, I'm still just like, wow, did he not get held accountable for January 6th? How did we let this happen? It's so maddening. All right. I'm going to tell you something, you guys, you know, I've been flagging this for a long time. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is now you guys, she's going woke maggot. She is seeing curtains on kanks. She's seeing what we all see. The cult has a lot of fissures in it. You've got like the Candace Owens branch and the Tucker Carlson and then the Steve Bannon. And there's all this infighting with right wing podcasters and the base. Marge, much to my surprise, is not a short sided politician.

7:15She's playing the long game here. And listen to how much sense she's making as she does national news. Play the clip. I think it's good advice that a government shutdown is going to help Republicans in the midterms. I don't agree with that. I also don't think it's good advice that Republicans ignoring the health insurance crisis is going to be good for midterms. I actually think that would be very bad for midterms. And I think that just not staying focused on America first policies is detrimental as well. Yeah. And on that note, are you concerned about the cost of living? Very. That the President Trump said he would lower?

7:56Inflation crushed people in the past four and a half years and the costs have not come down. I myself can tell you my apartment here in Washington, D.C., the electricity bill is$100 more than it was last year because you can look at your own bill and look at cost. prices have not come down. That is a reality. People's wages have not gone up. That's another reality. And so Americans are continuing to have a very difficult time getting by. And I'll go a step further. I'm a mom. And so when it comes to what is affecting my adult children's lives, who are 22, 26 and 28, I'm going to be 1000 % fighting for them over any politician, in any party.

8:42And I can tell you right now, that generation, they are barely making it. Okay. So as you can see here, even assholes have moments of clarity, but Marge is positioning herself for higher office. I don't know if it's president. I don't know if it's Senator. I don't know if she's going to throw her hat in the governor race, but this type of economic populist message is very similar to what Zoran Mamdani is taking to New York. It is affordability. It is kitchen table issues. She's rightfully calling out the Republican Party for not tending to these needs, for doing a bait and switch with the last election.

9:19And I just think Democrats have to be really careful here. These corporate Democrats that we have that are leading the House and the Senate, they have to start talking like this because it, and a lot of them are, but they're going to have to start pounding the airwaves because a lot of these voters are going to feel safer that have always voted Republican are going to feel safer voting for her like they did for Trump, even though they think she's a nut. So I'm just flagging this and I've been flagging it because she started speaking out about all of the money that we're sending to Israel. And that is an America first policy.

9:54Now her reasons for doing that, clearly she's an anti-Semite, a bigot, a nut, et cetera. By no means do I like Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm just saying she is savvy. And I did not think she had that in her. This is a very smart political play. And Democrats need to keep their eyes open to this because there's a vacuum, a post-Trump vacuum that grifters like Marjorie Taylor Greene will come in and fill. And so we just need to keep our eyes on her. Lastly, and I'm sorry to leave you guys with this, but you have to see it. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of quote unquote war, whose mother had to go on Fox News to say she thought he was a good boy so he could get this position.

10:39I mean, to say he's over his skis would be an understatement. But this is the guy who called all the generals and lectured them about masculinity, about obesity, about being tough guys and we're going to start hazing and we're going to start, you know, fuck yeah, we're tough guys. We're not pussies. This guy, watch how he neuters himself in this cabinet meeting. This is the most, this to me, all of these men, I don't know if they're gay or not, but I know that they are most comfortable in homosocial relationships. And this sort of homosocial activity with Trump's, all the men in his cabinet is so bizarre.

11:25It's so bizarre. Play the clip. President, you're exactly right. At the war department, you don't get peace without strength. And our job is to be the strength part of the equation and deliver that when necessary, as you demonstrated with your order of midnight hammer and the entire world saw. And I just want to echo what Marco said. It is a personal honor to be able to witness the way you lead and negotiate. I wish people had a full understanding of what that looks like, that historic nature. A lot of us vets, you know, the vice president, Tulsi, Lee, Doug, probably after decades of war and the chaos that was unleashed through reckless and foolish American policy.

12:08OK. OK. I can't even take any more. He is a draft dodger. He has called the Allied forces who were the original anti-fascists that are in the cemeteries at Normandy, suckers and losers. This is so unbelievable. It's just such brown nosing. Remember that term, they're just a brown noser? It is like brown nosing on crack cocaine and the emasculation involved in that and the intellectual dishonesty involved in that is so stunning and it can never be normal to us. But you have to always remember this. Everybody that arrived at that cabinet table, little Marco included, little Marco, most of all, were fine going to work for a man that tried to overthrow the election.

13:02Most people wouldn't do that, wouldn't want to work for a convicted felon. So you have the most morally bankrupt. It's not the BC team. It's not the C team. This is the Z team. This is a cabinet of ass kissing bottom feeders that absolutely would never make it out in the real world based on merit. I would even go as far to say they are unhirable and their only skillset is that they are world class ass kissers. Okay. Do me a favor. Support Pumps and Me by going to buy our book. It's called Life is a Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. It's a great way to get to know us. And we also read the audio book.
