These MAGA Republicans are actively trying to rig the 2026 midterms while Chuckles and Hakeem are looking for bipartisanship solutions. We're playing two fucking different games here. MAGA is relentless, ruthless, doesn't care about laws, doesn't care about criminals, doesn't care about cops getting beaten up, doesn't care about U.S. citizens getting shot. They care about power at the expense of everybody else, even the Constitution, even the United States of America. And the fix is totally in on the 2026 midterms.
0:48He's already starting it. Play the video. Life in the White House is a big deal, actually. What is Tulsi Gabbard doing at elections in Georgia today? She's working very hard, trying to keep the election safe. And she's done a very good job. And they, as you know, they got into the votes and signed judges order in Georgia. And they've been trying to get there for a long time. Okay. She's already finding all this stuff. Here's what is going to happen. While Chuckles and Hakeem are finding bipartisanship solutions with fascists, Tulsi Gabbard is going to Fulton County. They're getting all of the paper ballots.
1:33She said in the cabinet meeting yesterday, oh, we're finding stuff hidden in this corner and in that corner. We're a few news cycles away from this guy going to the hall of presidents outside, removing the Joe Biden auto pen portrait that he has, and then popping up a picture of himself and saying, hey, guess what? I do get to run for another term because this is actually my third term. And then they're going to declare widespread voter fraud all over the United States, and they're going to use ice that the Democrats are playing patty cake about funding to go on election day torture rates to suppress the vote.
2:11It's coming, the fix is in, and the Democratic Resistance Party is looking for bipartisanship solutions that maybe if we put a camera on a murderer, when they're already holding their own cameras in their own hands, that maybe they won't kill people anymore? When I see this with the ballots, the first thing I think of is Donald Trump lied and said the election was stolen from him. He made outlandish claims with outlandish attorneys who all got disbarred or criminally charged, but that's not what I'm talking about. But in court, he could not prove it. He lost every single case trying to prove voter fraud.
2:53So what does he do? He goes in and he steals the evidence so that he can fundamentally change it. And nobody can dispute it because he has stolen the evidence. It is doctored. You cannot get it back. So a court cannot control what's happening because he's stolen the evidence and it is as dangerous as it gets. I agree with you 100 million thousand percent. This is a play to keep him in power full stop, because why would you care? The fix is 100 percent in. Wall Street Journal is even reporting, pop this up. Tulsi Gabbard has spent months investigating the results of the 2020 election that Donald Trump lost.
3:42Gabbard is leading the administration's effort to re-examine the election and look for potential crimes. Widespread fraud does not exist. Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Well, why is Tulsi leading this charge? Because Tulsi is a Russian asset. And Vladimir Putin has put all chips in on Donald Trump because he controls him and he has a shock collar around his neck and at his nuts, as evidenced by the time that Donald Trump clapped like a seal while United States military were on their hands and knees escorting a war criminal down the red carpet in the United States of America. And so he has Tulsi Gabbard, who is totally Putin's puppet, doing this because she knows we cannot have midterms.
4:31Because then my boss, Vladimir Putin, is going to lose the Ukraine war because the Democrats will start funding Ukraine. This war should be over by now. But Donald Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do. All of this talk about Greenland, all of these Russian talking points that come out of this administration, all from Putin. This is where it gets crazy. So the warrant that was signed for the FBI to go into Georgia was signed in Missouri. And you might go, why? Why was that signed in Missouri. Pop this up, Kylie. Adam Cochran says, surprise, surprise, the Republican backed company that bought Dominion Voting is based in Missouri, which is where the warrant for the Fulton raid comes from.
5:23Trump ally buys voting company, claims tampering an affidavit, files it federally. This forces judge to approve a warrant. Trump can pardon the federal perjury charge if it ever surfaces. This has clearly been in the works for months. They bought out Dominion to support their own story. This is the kind of conspiracy MAGA would dream up all day long, but somehow they can't see the corruption when it's in front of their face. But here's the thing. MAGA doesn't care about corruption. No. They only care about whatever the other side does. If the other side, Hunter Biden sold some art pieces. And so it's like, oh my God, Biden crime family.
6:12Their side, Donald Trump makes billions of dollars and all of these pro-capitalists with no capital support him all of the time. They don't give a shit. And so the fact that this has been in the works for months and the Democrats are looking for bipartisanship agreement with these people, you guys, we're going to lose this country if the Democrats don't get serious about putting up a resistance. These people are not fucking around. We're playing two different games. If the roles were reversed, the words bipartisan would never come out of MAGA's mouth because they're relentless and they are ruthless and they are vicious and their diabolical ambitions are the only thing that they stay focused on.
6:59And we are like still over here saying, oh, well, I mean, yeah, they're fascist, but we can find some bipartisanship here. And we're deeply concerned. And it's, this is really alarming. This is more than alarming. This is like the biggest fire this country has ever been set on. And we're not even remotely trying to extinguish it. When I saw that it was from Missouri, the forum that granted the warrant, and I hate to be a broken record, but I just want to say again, okay, so a judge issues the warrant. Now you go to preliminary hearing. You do pretrial proceedings. Let's say the judge has enough grounds to dismiss it.
7:44It's too late. This is the most competent corruption I've seen because it's too late because the evidence is gone. And that's a super important point. We cannot stop talking about they've stolen the evidence to prove that the election was not stolen. All right. And then a day late and a dollar short, the Democrats are going to, quote, talk to Tulsi Gabbard. PBS is reporting the following. Senator Mark Warner and Representative Jim Himes, the top Democrats on committees overseeing national intelligence, are calling on director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to brief them on why she was present in an FBI search of an election office in Georgia this week.
8:26And I just want to say briefings and politics as normal are not meeting this moment. There needs to be real leadership that lists MAGA's protecting pedophiles, MAGA's rigging elections, MAGA is giving billionaires more tax breaks, MAGA's stealing money from the public, MAGA's murdering citizens, MAGA's kidnapping citizens. And every single Democratic politician, I don't care if it's minus 100 degrees, needs to be on a front line like they were in Selma, holding hands, marching, shutting it all down. So I appreciate that y 'all are going to holler in. These people don't care. There was a law that they are disobeying every day, that all of the Epstein files, 100 % of them are due on this date.
9:19That was a month ago. they're never going to release them. So you can call Tulsi in and she's going to sit there and lie because she thinks Donald Trump will give me a pardon if I perjure myself here. Worst case scenario, Putin will fly me to Russia and I can live out my retirement there. These people are not effing around. And then as Dems give up all leverage on ICE yesterday, they give up all leverage that they had. Do we think that they're going to handle Tulsi rigging the election? Pop this up, Kylie. So Kyle Blomquist, and he is a candidate for U.S. Congress, says abolishing ICE is neither radical nor politically toxic.
10:06It's the moderate mainstream position of the American public. New poll abolishing ICE continues to show historic surge of support. 46%. And so my point with this is, is do we think the party who thinks that everything is this radical position, like having moral clarity, they're so scared that they're going to piss off, I don't know, like moderate Republicans, Reagan Republicans, I don't even know what it's about anymore. Do we think they're going to stand up to Tulsi Gabbard? Do we think they're going to stand up to ICE? And I just think the answer is no. And so I am calling on progressive senators and Congress people outside of leadership to get serious and plan without them.
10:59Hakeem says, don't go to Minnesota, go to Minnesota. Whatever they say, I would recommend doing the opposite. If they say bipartisanship support, start having your own press conferences and saying, I know it's unprecedented for us to speak out against the minority leader, but these are unprecedented times because everybody's watching people get kidnapped and murdered in the streets. We're watching Tulsi Gabbard go take evidence with FBI. And so this is unprecedented. It is. And whatever respect Hakeem and Chuckles deserve, whatever. They're not meeting the moment. Our constituents want this. Our approval rating is 18%.
11:39We get it. We're going to fight, fight, fight for you and for this country. And it would control the news cycle. Make them hate you. The Republicans do not hate Hakeem and chuckles enough. There's never any, any reels, tweets, nothing. Think about the hatred they had for Nancy Pelosi. Think about the hatred we had for Mitch McConnell. I still have it for him. They still have it for her because that's how effective both of those leaders were. And these two that we have right now are not meeting this moment. They're incapable. And time and time again, they just show us that they are soft as all get out.
12:25And this is too serious of a moment in history to not resist with every fiber in your bone. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
