0:04Time Magazine is reporting that calls for impeachment are growing. This is a very important development because in my opinion, and I'm sure I won't speak for pumps, but y 'all heard her say it multiple times on this broadcast, crimes are committed every single day. Actions against the constitution happen every single day. And now the America first, the I'm going to lower your price of groceries president guy is invading and stealing natural resources from other countries. He's abducting the leaders of this country. He's mad at the heir apparent leader of the country because she won't give him his Nobel Peace Prize and pop up this headline.

0:50Calls for impeachment gain momentum amid fallout over Venezuela operation. Now, these calls are coming from a few members of the House of Representatives, but pumps a really interesting development. Yesterday, a Republican representative from the state of California died. And this takes Moses Mike Grinder Johnson's majority to only within five. And if you think about Massey, and if you think about Marjorie Taylor Greene, and you think about Representative Bacon, little pipsqueaks, majority starts looking pretty bad in this chorus of impeachment. even though it's small right now. Time Magazine, this is a lead story.

1:35We need to start bringing this to the front of the headlines. This is what happened during Watergate. The press started talking about impeachment. The public started demanding this is unconstitutional. We need to impeach. Pumps, what are your thoughts on that? My thoughts are you have someone that could be impeached Kanks for crimes, for inability to comprehend cognitively. I mean, he's getting cognitive tests all the time because his cognitive skills are declining. You could get it for the rampant kidnap of people in the United States. I mean, there is a laundry list. I could go on from here until noon tomorrow, and we could still be talking about the reasons to impeach him.

2:23But my concern is you've got nothing but pussies in the House of Representatives. Now, Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, he's getting ready to be on thin, thin ice. And I know within the party, they're mad at him. But to see any courage from these people, I'm not holding my breath. Well, here's just another reason to consider impeachment among the multitude of others. put up this tweet, Kylie. Shannon Watts responds to a batshit true social post. I'm going to read the true social post first. This was yesterday. Donald J. Trump tweets or posts or lies about or acts crazy about. I am pleased to announce that the interim authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 billion barrels of high quality sanctioned oil to the United States of America, this oil will be sold at its market price and that money will be controlled by me as president of the United States of America to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States, blah, blah.

3:33Shannon Watts has a really important response to this. I understand that Democrats have no policy making power, but they have their voices. And that's important to remember. Every Democratic politician has their voices. And she goes on to say, but just this week, six Democrats voted to confirm Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of defense. Do what you can to shut this down and shape public opinion or resign. And I'm going to give you a prime example of the impotent, limp dick leadership from Democrats. We're going to start right now with chuckles. And this person needs to resign or put somebody else in charge of the Senate.

4:22Listen to this clip. What's happened here in Venezuela and the actions that Marco Rubio has taken? Do you regret your vote to confirm him? I am deeply, deeply disappointed in Marco Rubio, even before Venezuela and even more so now. Chuckles, the right answer to that question, do you regret your vote to confirm Marco Rubio? The correct answer to that question is yes. Yes, I do regret that vote. I was wrong. And we all need to learn the Marco Rubio lesson. If somebody has moral clarity on January 6th, 2021, and then turns around and is able to go work for an insurrectionist convicted felon, that should be a red flag to us.

5:05And we were still playing the politics of old. I was thinking about the old Republican Party, but we're dealing with a mafia. We're dealing with a crime syndicate. We're dealing with a criminal organization that is dismantling the Constitution of the United States of America. They are completely buying up and monopolizing all of the media, all of the tech. We are in uncharted Waterton. You're goddamn right. I regret my vote for Marco Rubio. He is beyond a disappointment. Chuckles is giving Susan Collins there. I'm disappointed in Marco Rubio. Disappointed. Disappointed. Marco Rubio is a political prostitute of the highest order.

5:47He has zero credibility, zero. And here's the thing. If the strongest reprimand Chuck Schumer can come up with, then I want to go on the permanent record and say, I am deeply disappointed in the Democratic leadership in the Senate. And I'll tell you another thing. When I read that post on truth or lie social from Trump, the money's going to me. I have every faith that it will, in fact, go to Donald J. Trump. Personally, it will not benefit the Venezuelan people. It will not benefit the American people. It will benefit one person, one family, the Trumps. I think you're exactly right. I think the part that he admires about Putin is how Putin has taken a lot of the income of other oligarchs and made it his own.

6:41And this is exactly what Putin wants to do with Ukraine. But I've done some reporting, you guys, that we know now that Vladimir Putin offered in 2019, and this is sworn testimony by Fiona Hill, an expert, a former national security advisor, that Putin offered Trump Venezuela for Ukraine. And so this is a much larger thing than just the dipshits in Washington saying, yeah, let's go get the oil in Venezuela. Furthermore, in Project 2025, hemisphere building is a part of it. Taking over the Western hemisphere is a part of it. Mind you, the dipshits, the dangerous diabolical dipshits that wrote Project 2025 completely ignore history and the fact that we have meddled in Latin America.

7:31Regime changes destabilize and it's never been beneficial to anyone. Moving along, I want to report more on Chuckles developing an emerging disappointment. Play the clip. I asked for some assurances that they were not planning operations in other countries, and I named a few of the ones you mentioned, including Colombia and Cuba, and I was very, very disappointed in their answer. Thank you, everybody. Okay. Chuckles, that is not leadership. That is something that somebody is casually watching the news could say about this that maybe is sedated on for Xanax. That is not an appropriate response to what is happening.

8:19You are the Senate minority leader. Every American in this country should know your name and recognize your face because you are screaming at the top of your lungs because you still have your voice. You should be constantly holding press conferences. You should be on podcasts, on media, nonstop, everywhere, calling him a fascist, calling out corporate donorships. But oh, I forget, you're beholden to the same corporations that elected this man. You are completely compromised. You appear as though you are the controlled opposition. The people who donate the most to Kanks are getting what they want, but they've also given some money to you.

9:02And you think that your little Senate career is more important than this country. This is why the Democrats approval rating is in the teens. You think, oh, we're just not Trump. That's not enough. You have to be a party of the people, by the people, for the people, because this administration is a party of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires. That's what they are. People are dying. People are getting kidnapped. the egregious human rights violations are stunning. And that is your response. That is your response. I have zero, zero expectation that the Republicans are ever going to do the right thing.

9:47But this is the way I see criticizing the Democratic Party right now. And this is super important. If I find out that my two sons were into some trouble at school, some parents are like, well, Billy made him do it, blah, blah, blah. I'm the type of mom that grabs my kid by the ear and I go, I don't care who started it. I don't care who did it, but you're involved in it. And I have higher expectations of you. And that's how I feel about the Democratic Party. I can sit up here and criticize Republicans all day, every day. It's not new. It's not neat. It's not unique. It's exhausting. It's tiring.

10:19There's really not a whole lot of difference between George W. Bush and Donald Trump, except for Donald Trump is just crazier and less polite, in my opinion. I've been bashing Republicans my whole life, but Democrats, the lie that you tell the American people that you are the party for the workers is insidious. And this is why you left a vacuum that made them say, I'll look for anything other than this status quo, because I've been looked over, I've been forgotten, and I cannot get ahead. And it's because of leaders like chuckles. Schumer, I wish that there was a revolt right now among Senate Democrats that would get serious and hammer down and force him to step aside as the Democratic minority leader.

11:09Put somebody else up there. Put Senator Warren. Put Senator Sanders. Put Chris Murphy. Put a goddamn fighter in there because this is serious. It's so pathetic. And I look at, you know, the European Union leaders got together and wrote a letter saying, you know, Greenland is for the people. I mean, they stood up instantly when he started talking about Greenland. Chuck, we know, loves to write a strongly worded letter. Why isn't he doing something? At least that would show every Democratic senator's name is on this. We are not going to stand for it. But instead, he's deeply fucking disappointed.

11:47I'm deeply disappointed when the dessert I ordered is out. That is not this. This is huge. This is the world fucking order that he's trying to wreck. And you're deeply disappointed. I mean, get the fuck down. Sit down. You are not a leader. He should be using the language. These are impeachable offenses. This is an illegal provocation in Venezuela. This is combined with the boat, the boat strikes. This man, these are all impeachable offenses. And we are going to keep pounding that and pounding that until we have the numbers, until a Republican that even remotely cares about the Constitution cares to join us.

12:37But this man needs to be impeached. He has dementia. He's crazier than a shithouse rat. He's got some white nationalist Nazi named Stephen Miller terrifying the immigrant population who casually posts about deporting 100 million people. And then, I mean, we could just go on and on and on at the depravity. But the serious thing is here right now is we are not a serious country and we don't have serious leaders. To me, Chuck Schumer right now is worse than Donald Trump because at least Donald Trump is consistently crazy. Chuck Schumer acts like, yeah, I'm for the Constitution. And yeah, I'm against Trump.

13:13What the fuck are you going to do about it, Chuck? This is not it. This is the old Democratic Party that has the approval rating in the teens. And the only reason the Democrats are coming back and winning right now is because that's how fucking bad the Republicans are. But if we want to have a long, serious tenure of governing where people know what we believe Even this guy is not it. And then there's something else I think the Democrats talk about all the time. CBS being bought by IDF donating Larry and David Ellison in the throes of genocide. They donate this money. And they put Barry Weiss in charge of CBS.

13:59And they are trying to make it completely worse than Fox. So it goes without saying, boycott anything and everything and every sponsor connected to fascist news channel CBS. But here they are. This is real reporting. This is worse than Fox Newsmax OAN. This is unbelievable. This is CBS News talking about January 6th. Play the clip. Also tonight, five years after the January 6th attack, a group of pardoned defendants marched through Washington. President Trump today accused Democrats of failing to prevent the attack on the Capitol, while House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the president of, quote, whitewashing it.

14:42Okay. That is one of the more egregious examples of both sides in whitewashing, sane washing insanity that I have ever seen. I'm going to spare you guys this, but he goes on to do a fluff piece on Senator Marco Rubio and all of the jobs that he has and closes the story with all hail Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio should be reported every single time he's reported in the news. They should play the clips and show the tweets of where he stood on January 6, 2021. and the 160 degree turn where he got on all fours and said, show me the money because I am a political prostitute. I have no conviction. I'm willing to sell immigrants, even though my family comes from immigrants.

15:37I'm ready to rip up the constitution. I'm ready to forget all of the intel I know about how dangerous and provocative Vladimir Putin is. I'm willing to do anything. I'm your hoe. I'm your bitch. Spank me. Strap it on. Let's go. That's who Marco Rubio is. And Barry Weiss at CBS is an absolute disgrace. And here's something else I want y 'all to think about. Barry Weiss is a lesbian and she has joined forces with the political party that has proposed over 600 anti-LGBTQ plus bills last year, over 600. And it shows you how well that issue of civil rights for LGBTQ plus people have evolved, that she thinks she can join the oppressors of that movement with impunity.

16:32And so I just want to also mention a couple of boycotts here. Bank of America is somebody who is funding CBS News and specifically funding Barry Weiss's upcoming town hall, which is going to be nothing but two hours of anti-women propaganda. Did feminism ruin the workplace is the title of her town hall. And this is so sickening and so dangerous. And the fact that Bank of America has so many female customers. Bank of America needs to be wholly boycotted for sponsoring anti-female, anti-American fascist propaganda at the hands of the biggest fascist propaganda in American news right now, the incompetent, the insufferable twat, Barry Wise.

17:24You know what's interesting to me about this? She's also a Jewish Zionist. In that video that she played, the leader of the largest white supremacy organization, the Oath Boys or Oath Keepers, Enrique Tarrio, he's the one they have in that video. He is a white fucking supremacist. Donald Trump and his party have a big tent, Barry. It's full of anti-Semitic Nazis like Enrique Tarrio, who he released from jail, and they will come for you. You're not the magic lesbian. You're not the magic Jewish person. You're next on the chopping block. It's amazing to me that you would walk into the center of anti-Semitism and act like you're special.

18:13And I just want to say that the distinction you gave there, Pumps, is important. You didn't just say she's Jewish, which who cares if she is, but you said she's a Jewish Zionist. And the more I hear Zionist speak, and the more I learn about Zionist, they themselves, it is a bigoted default setting where they believe they are superior. And Israel's safety is superior to all other places. And you can criticize every country on the planet and every political party on the planet, but you cannot criticize the Zionists in Israel. That to me has all of the hallmarks of a cult. So she's tolerant of some bigotry because she herself is a bigot.

18:53And that's where all of the bigots converge. All of this makes Jewish people worldwide less safe. The rising antisemitism that you spoke about that is incubating within the MAGA movement makes Jewish people less safe worldwide. All right, that's all we have. Please like subscribe and we'll be back later with more news.
