Go hiking under the midnight sun, find glaciers, bald eagles, and beluga whales. Immerse yourself in rich Alaska culture. See the tallest mountain in North America, then relax and recharge with Anchorage's wide variety of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment. In Anchorage, you can do it all. Enjoy the perfect mix of urban and wild. Start planning at anchorage.net. I never knew owning a gourmet Italian pasta business could be this profitable. Thanks to our old national commercial banker. That warehouse expansion loan?
0:37Oh, and the help with our equipment lending? But still, gotta say, it seems like he loves the Italian pasta business more than we do. La nuova attestatura ha reso il processo molto più efficiente. I mean, the new equipment, it makes it so much more efficient. Really dedicated commercial bankers. Sorry, got a little carried away there. Another reason to choose old National Bank. Get old. Member FDIC.
1:04We have a completely incompetent person with dementia and failing health conditions running the United States of America. And as all of you know, if you have an older relative that is in the nursing home and you may go see them and your grandmother will say, you know, I always liked you more than I liked your little sister. Well, Trump is at that stage in his life where the deathbed confessions are absolutely accelerating. He says something stunning that I think we all knew, but now he's starting to say all of the quiet parts out loud. Play the clip. Now, what is missing in leadership? Well, it's winning.
1:46You've got to win. You know, I've watched a lot of people, leaders, great leaders. And, you know, the one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, a two-hour period, something nice. You don't have to wait a lifetime to find out if somebody is a winner or a loser. You've got a lot of losers, mostly losers, fortunately. It's a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.
2:20Okay, I think we all knew this, but the fact that he's saying it out loud is definitely what autocrats do, what's called a humiliation ritual. Combined with the dementia and the press impunity that he's able to say these things and there's no Fox News meltdown, there's no consensus in Western media that this man should not be running, that he has chosen a bunch of losers to work in his cabinet. We all know it. We all see how incompetent all of these people are, how mentally unstable all of these people are, but he's saying it out loud. He shines when he's surrounded by a bunch of losers. And think about what a loser this guy is, that the bar is that low that beneath him, you have absolute bottom feeders.
3:10And this is really stunning. The Daily Mail is a conservative rag, just complete trash paper, right? Well, they pop out this story, pop this up. Trump insiders explode over Stephen Miller's shadow rule and reveal how Puppet Master overrides the president and somebody close says he needs to be fired. So Stephen Miller, it is widely known and accepted that in the Oval Office, he is referred to as Mr. Prime Minister. And Stephen Miller has an agenda and a plan. He wants to deport 100 million people from America. All of the ICE provocations, all of those things are Stephen Miller's pet projects. Even Trump said, oh, you know, we couldn't do all this without Stephen Miller.
4:07You don't want to know what he really says, or you don't want to know what he really thinks. Stephen Miller is a white nationalist Nazi. This is one of the more dangerous people that we have ever had ascend to the executive branch of the White House. Trump is too lazy and too bored and has the attention span of a gnat to mire down in policy. So he delegates it all out to all of the, quote, losers surrounding him because he can't be outshined. And here's some, if we dive into the story, the Daily Mail, pop this up. The most damaging episodes were the fatal shootings of Renee Goode and Alex Pretty in Minneapolis, which Miller was at the center of.
4:57During his 10 a.m. calls with immigration leaders, Miller was demanding agents be sent out to areas in Minneapolis where DHS knew there was a heavy presence of protesters to force confrontations, two DHS senior sources told the Daily Mail. One official noted that Miller repeatedly urged agents to engage protesters so the administration could win the PR battle. In any other serious nation, this person is fired from their job. Alex Preddy and Renee Good were killed so that the administration would have PR. Because for Stephen Miller, watching people get shot, watching families get separated, watching people get drug off, and all of the violence that was so disturbing to all of us is like pornography for him.
5:59And apparently the conditions surrounding Stephen Miller and DHS, which I've always said, Kristi, no, nope, she's not running it. It's Stephen Miller. Little Mark Wayne Mullins, the guy, the senator from my home state who has to stand on a booster box. Everybody's like, oh, Mark Wayne Mullins is incompetent. Well, no shit, he's incompetent. He will not be running DHS. It will be Stephen Miller. And Stephen Miller enjoys this type of violence. In any other serious country, there would be investigations, there would be all the way up to the top charges filed. There is apparently somebody under Miller that works for him.
6:41I believe the last name is Lyons. And he has been hospitalized from stress working under Stephen Miller like three or four times. This is an incredibly toxic work environment. The way they're treating the American public, it's not high times in the Trump regime. Everybody's walking on eggshells. He governs with divide and rule where he gets people plotted against each other. Stephen Miller has been with Trump since Trump 1.0, and he knows what he needs to do to remain as Mr. Prime Minister. This guy is, I think, a war criminal, a Nazi, a white nationalist, a sociopath. He needs to be fired from his job.
7:30But then I always have to remind myself for me to have some expectation that a convicted felon that incited an insurrection is going to have the moral clarity to go, oh, this guy's gone too far. We need to fire him is a fool's errand on my part. And I'm not going to apply normal person logic and morals to a completely mentally depraved regime. We have a Republican Congress who all bask in their Christianity, who support all of this, which is the, you know, it's antithetical to fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ, but they support every single bit of this. And the fissures in the MAGA movement are really happening in one succinct area.
8:18So the base, they're cultists. They're going to just, whatever Trump does, he's going to get high 80s, 90 % approval. But the influencers, the media, that's where the fissures start. And then ultimately, it will get momentum with the cultists, especially considering the strongman, the autocrat, is frail and suffering from mental decline and physical decline. So this is really interesting. The MAGA influencers are going after Fox. Ann Coulter says, watching Fox News assure viewers that Iran war is going super well and Trump is a total stud is like watching the same network assure viewers that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the 2020 election and Trump was the winner.
9:05Marjorie Taylor Greene chimes in and says Fox News is now the fake news, brainwashing boomers to support what we voted against. Leave this up for a second, Kylie. Number one, the Dominion voting system. That's where Fox had to pay nearly a billion dollars for lying to their viewers. Fox News, the damage that it has done to this country cannot be overstated. It serves up cruelty and red meat and easy to absorb hatred for its viewers to stay engaged in the decades long lies that the Republican Party has gone to all of working class America and lied and told them Republicans are great business people.
9:50Wealth will trickle down. We're so great with national security, which is the biggest lie. They're national security catastrophes. Furthermore, I want you to notice how little these people believe in anything. We'll get to Marjorie Taylor Greene. How quickly they went from just a few years ago, CNN is fake news. New York Times is fake news. And they have their problems. All right. That's another episode for another day. But how quickly whatever they want to fit their narrative to guide the cult. Now she says Fox News is now the fake news. Instead of this would be more complete if Marjorie Taylor Greene, this is why I don't want anybody to trust her.
10:33I don't want anybody to trust Marjorie Taylor Greene. She still has a sign outside her office that says there are two genders. This is not a woman that cares about the truth. This is not a woman who cares about universal human rights. This is a woman who is a lot more politically savvy than I gave her credit for. And now they're turning against Fox News because Fox is still 100 % Trump trained for now. And they don't really believe in him. We all know behind the scenes during the Dominion lawsuit, they all trashed him. Nobody takes Trump seriously that's around him. His cultists do. That's why you see that high 80, 90 % support for him.
11:15But all of the network that lies for him, that sane washes for him, that propagandizes for him, they know what they're doing. It's incredibly diabolical and sick. Marjorie Taylor Greene knows what she's doing. Ann Coulter knows what she's doing. These people know we have to serve up a specific type of news, a specific type of propaganda, a specific type of scapegoat in order to continue lying to working class Americans so that we can rig the economy. We have a Supreme Court that supports oligarchs. Everybody thinks the Supreme Court supports Donald Trump. No, they support private equity. Everything they do is about concentrating power in the executive branch to control private equity.
12:07Why did all of the oligarchs rush to this guy? Because they know if they can get a useful idiot like Trump, and then they can have a CEO run the United States, private equity will milk off of the working class Americans. Tesla last year paid$0 in taxes, zero. Working class Americans, they paid their fair share. And the Marjorie Taylor Greene's and the Ann Coulter's and the Fox News from time to time, you might see them in a 30 second clip or in a quick tweet. And as a progressive person, a liberal person, an independent person, you think, oh, they're having to come to Jesus moment. Do not fall for it for a second.
12:54And you can never fucking trust these people ever. And here, let me show you exactly why. Here's Megyn Kelly. She, this is, you know, she's in this ongoing fight with Micro Penis Mark, her nickname for him, which is really pretty good. She says, poor micro trying to slut shame me a happily married woman for nearly two decades teeny tiny men with micro manhoods often resort to misogynistic attacks it's okay micro i'm sure your disability makes it really tough to look at more successful women so now she's this feminist megan kelly Don't slut shame successful women. Women shouldn't be slut shamed.
13:38Well, what did she say about Kamala Harris just less than a year ago? Pop this up. But you're not allowed to point out that Kamala Harris slept her way into politics with Willie Brown, nor are we supposed to discuss that the would-be first gentleman banged his kid's nanny and got her pregnant. Too far. So this is what's so important when we are so desperate for leadership in this country. When the Democratic Party is not forcefully anti-war, forcefully universal human rights, forcefully an opposition party so clear and so concise, you know they oppose fascism. You know they oppose oligarchs. You know they are for the working class.
14:26What happens is the public is so vulnerable and so thirsty for a crumb that the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, the Tucker Carlson's sometimes start outflanking the alleged opposition party. And I just always want to point out, these people are looking to a post-Trump electorate, and they know what worked for him. And what worked for him initially was coming in and bashing the status quo, acting like a populist, calling out the fake news, and they're already starting that playbook. But listener, do not, and I know you all won't, but do not allow your friends, people, and the American public to buy into this for a second.
15:12All Republicans lead to the exact same conclusion. It is a death cult that favors money over human beings, that favors oligarchy over democracy, that doesn't believe in a goddamn thing. All right, that's all I have. Like, subscribe, comment. Be back later with more shitty news.
