They are serious about making the oligarchy richer and making Donald Trump's ego feel better. So nobody says he has little hands and, you know, balding and all that crazy stuff. So when we are in a position of we're watching shootings at universities, we're watching Australian shootings, what he's talking about are his little pet projects. You know, he tore down the East Wing. Now he's building an arch. So this I thought was so good of him talking about the arch. Here we go.
0:42What is this? What is this? Thank you guys. Thank you. For who? Thanks guys. Yeah, no, I know where it is, but who's it for? Me. Okay, here's the deal. We're talking about people's health care premiums going up to be more than their rent and mortgages. People are not going to be able to buy medication, get health care when they are sick. but he is building an arch for himself. And it's like, does he think he's some French Renaissance? Yes. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. You nailed it. That's exactly what he thinks. He thinks he is a cross between Marie Antoinette and some old French queen, probably like Napoleon, you know, And he wants to build because of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
1:41He wants to do, these are the things that are important to him. These are the things that are of value to him. It's the same, it lives in the same space of his brain where he saw China or Russia do a military parade. And he's like, well, oh my God, that looks cool. Yeah. I want everybody doing that. You know how the Chinese, they like tilt their head and they're all like, you know, and it's all in unison. And it's kind of like, and people are like, no, we don't do that. We're not the type of military that does that. We're more humble. We're the Department of Defense. But he doesn't care. So all of that, he's a performative person, a performative president.
2:14But at the same time, he's a diabolical monster. You know, it's just, and he's a moron. Like diabolical almost seems like you have to lend intelligence to that. It's an overstatement for him. Yeah. He's just an evil dipshit. Narcissist. surrounded by a lot of yeah for sure yeah i mean you get stephen miller around i mean trump he loves for him to be worried about his new ballroom that now is not going to get rebuilt because there's all this fighting because he tore down the white house so okay so i've been reading about this a lot because i always saw the rendering as a designer when i saw the initial rendering i saw that the ballroom was so big and i remember thinking i'm surprised an architect would draw it like that because it overstates the anchor piece, which is the White House.
3:01Well, he ends up getting a huge fight with the architect, Trump does, because he wanted it to be big and they went bigger, bigger, bigger. And finally, the architect says, I'm going to put my name on this. So the architect quits his job. And here's what's so interesting about this from like, because this is what I do, listener, when I'm not a podcaster, I'm an interior designer and have been for 25 years. Typically, you don't tear down a structure in a historical neighborhood. nothing's more historical than 1600 Avenue, unless you have approved plans moving forward. And so he literally just tore down the East Wing and nothing had been approved or finalized on the proposed ballroom.
3:43So he's been fighting with the architect and now the architect has packed his toys up and left because he doesn't want his name on this forever. And so right now there's, it's just a complete demolition zone. And isn't that just like the perfect metaphor for him? Yes. You know, just tear it down, fuck it. And we'll have somebody else clean it up. I'll have somebody else do that. But I think people should fight him on this. I think that people should fight tooth and nail. It doesn't matter if they're donations. This should be, this is the people's house. You can't just go and build some tacky, monstrous Marie Antoinette wannabe.
4:21And here's the thing too. And this is just petty. All right. But I like petty. Okay. A ballroom is for dancing, right? These people are terrible dancers. I mean, he does the double jerk off. That's his only thing that he does. And then everybody gets around him and they start doing it too. And it just, I'm just so sick of these fucking fascists. I'm just so sick of them. They're just such horrible, dorky, evil people. All right, go back to your stuff. I'm sorry. The only thing about the ballroom I'm interested in is the people that are donating. I want their names to be in the history books forever.
4:59Oh yeah. 100%. Doubling down on fascism. Okay. I'm very excited about everybody's name being in that ballroom. And I think the next president should chisel that thing out and put it in a museum, the Museum of Fascism and say, we're doing it right when you walk in roll call of oligarchs right here these are all of the people that cared more about money than they did the united states of america and they did their fellow citizens these are the people that when push came to shove in the face of people getting pulled from their families by masked agents these are the people that said yes yeah i want to make sure i pay money so that my name and my lineage is forever attached to these immoral acts i am so excited about these people's names i hope it's chiseled in limestone i hope it's put in a museum shame on everybody donating and i can't wait for that list to be realized because i'm going to read it every day for like 365 days at the end of every i have news episode roll call just for spite yeah So here's something that surprised me, Zebra, about Trump.
6:06And in fact, I'm surprised we haven't seen it before. Put this up, Kylie. The Trump administration has scrapped a plan to make quarters to honor the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and the civil rights movement. Instead, the Trump administration plans to issue a$1 coin with Donald Trump's face on it. How to tell me you're a racist misogynist without telling me you're a racist misogynist. Don't forget narcissist. Narcissism. I mean, here's the deal. These people are not even good at this. They could have just rolled out the Trump coin. And we'd all say, of course, that insecure, ugly ass, fat ass motherfucker wants his face on money.
6:51Of course he does. Everybody knew that was coming. But he has to do it at the expense of other people, which is his legacy. I'm going to make you richer while these people can't eat food. Like that's who he is. This is just a microcosm of who he is. This ad is brought to you by Veve Healthcare, the makers of Apritude, Cabotegravir. You never skip your SPF and you carry hand sanitizer like an accessory, but what are you doing for HIV prevention? One way to help protect yourself from HIV is Apritude, a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of getting HIV in adults and adolescents weighing at least 77 pounds.
7:35You must be HIV negative to receive APRITUDE and get tested before each injection. If you think you are exposed to HIV or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. More HIV testing may be needed. APRITUDE does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. Practice safer sex to reduce your risk. Get APRITUDE as scheduled. Missing doses increases your HIV risk. Don't take APRITUDE if allergic to it or taking certain medicines that may interact. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, liver problems, and mental health. Serious side effects include allergic reactions or rash, liver problems, and depression.
8:16If these occur, get medical help right away. The most common side effect is injection site reaction. Bring your A-game and talk to your doctor. Learn more at Apertude.com or call 1-888-240-0340. The complete repetitive nature of this administration to oppress people, it goes through every facet of it. So Pete Hexeth, for example, he removed Harvey Milk. He removed the, I'm going to mispronounce it you guys, but it was the Tuscahugue, you know, like the, all any, yes, any sort of black or native American military service has just been oppressed, women oppressed, Kristi Noem and all of these others, Stephen Miller, you know, it's just every chance they can dunk on some minority or dunk on a woman and say, you don't matter.
9:15You don't matter. And I want to remind you that I do. They do it. And so I think your point is so well said in this, that he wants to be on the coin at the expense and the intentional oppression of other groups. And we're supposed to be the country that celebrates progress. And these people resent it. And we have to remember when they say, make America great again. They are talking about a segregated United States of America. And Stephen Miller goes on Fox News all the time and just spouts white supremacist, white nationalist, Nazi shit. And look at the actions of Hegseth. Look at all the way all of this administration is set up.
10:01So that right there is a perfect, you're exactly right, Pumps. It is perfect microcosm. We're going to appoint the most idiotic, fat ass white man who could not, if he had not inherited$5 million and wasn't a white man, he would have been 500 million, 500, and wasn't a white man, he'd be in prison. But we're going to take this guy and we're going to promote him up while beating down all of these people who never, ever got any help from anybody. And if they did get a little bit, then the white man's going to be right there to say, listen up, motherfucker. I'm the one that helped you. Don't you ever forget that.
10:42Constantly putting cinder blocks on everybody's shoulders. It's so gross. And I just have a message to all the white people out there right now that sit and watch this and you sit and endorse this all for what? Your tax break. And you see, you think you're better than people because you're white. You think you're better than the immigrant family that comes over here and a dad that works all day on a roof, putting a roof on a house in 100 degree heat or, you know, freezing temperatures, never complains, takes his check home. You think these immigrants, I mean, think about their argument here. The immigrants are coming over and taking your jobs.
11:22Right. And then they're using all of your health care, but yet they're also on SNAP benefits. And they're also qualifying for 30 year mortgages. That's the thing. But also, it's utterly insane. We are a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. We've always been a nation of immigrants. and the racism and the xenophobia and the cruelty from a lot of these Trump supporters is so disgusting to me, and specifically to the white women, specifically the white women that have had children. That love that you feel when you hold your baby, that's universal. That's a universal feeling. That's not uniquely American.
12:07That's not uniquely white. It's a universal love. The difference between you, triple Trump or white lady voter, and me in pumps is simple. When I feel that love for my child, I can transfer it to all children of all different races, of all different financial backgrounds, and understand that this beautiful feeling that I'm feeling, albeit super beautiful, is not unique. It's a universal feeling. And so I pile on that other women that might not have the security or the skin color that I have are entitled to the same protections that I am. And even more so, it makes me want to fight even harder for them so that they can enjoy their children and live in emotional safety.
12:54So I'm just so sick of these disgusting, disgusting white women that go around lecturing to all of these women about staying at home and having kids and doing all of this shit, while at the same time demeaning hardworking immigrants over here and taking their kids away from them. You're all hypocrites. You're walking, talking, breathing examples why nobody wants to be an evangelical Christian. And as I beat up on evangelicals all the time, I do want to say this to those of you out there that are of faith. Every day since I moved to New York, I walked by this church and it has, and I say this all the time, but I just want to say that I realized there are some beautiful forms of faith.
13:35There is a Black Lives Matter flag. There's a gay pride flag. And then there's a banner that says immigrants and refugees welcome here. So I see you to the people of the Christian faith that are truly, truly advocates of the downtrodden and true advocates for social justice. But the white women with the pyrotechnic, I'm going to follow Erica Kirk and send money to turning point. You're just hypocrites. You are hypocrites that think that you and your children are better than everybody else's. And here's the thing, when you're all at home crying because nobody wants to invite your little kid over, I get it because nobody wants to be around people like you.
