Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04We have a very interesting intersection taking place at the very top echelons of the American government. And now I'm not talking about the dementia guy that we talk about all the time. I mean, that's ubiquitous. He's a moron. He's incompetent. He's a sociopath surrounded by freak shows. No question about it. But what do devout MAGA Christians and sociopathic billionaires have in common? And it turns out quite a lot. And so you may remember when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, murdered. I personally think that Charlie Kirk should be alive. I think we have a gun problem in this country. And I disagreed with everything that Charlie Kirk said.
0:48I thought he was a vile, racist, homophobe, but I did not want him dead. I don't want anybody killed by gun violence in the United States of America. And you may remember Cash Patel getting on TV and saying, I love you, brother. I'll see you in Valhalla, right? Real choked up about the thing. Well, it turns out Kash Patel is so breathtaking and breathtakingly incompetent in the FBI that career FBI agents are leaking all to the press about what a reckless, maniacal, incompetent sociopathic diva cash patel is and right after in the immediate aftermath of charlie kirk getting shot their best friend their brother who's waiting on them in valhalla here is what cash patel and uh bongino were up to cash patel and dan bongino were focused on their Twitter strategy in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death, according to ex-FBI agent John Sullivan.
1:57This is from the New York Times, and an excerpt from this article is as follows. And then it turns surreal. He and Bongino start talking about their Twitter strategy, and Cash is like, I'm going to tweet this. Salt Lake, you tweet that. Dan, you come in with this, then I'll come back with talking about how we're going to respond or resources or the situation. He's screaming that he wants to put stuff out, but it's not even vetted yet. It's not even accurate. And so this to me, they wanted this murder of Charlie Kirk to be their Reichstag fire moment, to be a moment where they could really accelerate the kind of the just stop us stuff we're seeing right now and erode civil liberties.
2:46They roll out this batshit crazy funeral for him that looks like a WWE match with the evangelical Christians waving the hands. And it's all this Christian nationalism, fireworks and all this shit. And here's at the end of the day, we saw I played for you all the clip of Trump. They asked him like Charlie Kirk was like a son to you. or how are you holding up? He's like, Oh my God, look at my, the, they're about to demo the East wing for my ballroom. It's like, these people have no feelings. None of this means anything to them. Nothing. It's all Twitter strategy to own the libs. You know why I'm not surprised by Bongino and Kash Patel doing this because they're fucking podcasters.
3:29They're not law enforcement. They don't have any experience. They can't beat their meat. That is how ridiculous and incompetent they are. So the fact that we're getting inaccurate information all over Twitter right after a shooting, that's who they are. Inaccuracies are the only thing that feed the propaganda because the truth tells us how sinister and incompetent they are. But that is why you have real lifelong FBI agents who have been in the ranks, who have worked at every level that run the FBI and not podcasters. So I totally agree with you, Pumps. And after the assassination, I think we've all been pretty shocked and everybody grieves in their own way, but we've all been pretty shocked at the sanctimony of Eric Kirk, the grieving widow, to trot out these Christian family values and to use her gender as a weapon and to use her faith as a weapon to tell women in the United States of America that they need to marry and breed and stay at home while she is working full time, while her husband was just murdered, and she is on a speaking engagement tour.
4:53right? And this breed of evangelical Christianity, you guys, it's very important to understand how diabolical it is. It is absolutely a death cult. They weaponize their religion in the most sanctimonious way. And then when people call them out for said weaponization, they act like They are victims of that. And you can't, it doesn't work that way. And we must call it out because this is at the epicenter of Trump's voting support. At the epicenter of his governing support are billionaires, but the electorate are these evangelicals. And she knows this, Erica Kirk. And here she is at her Jim Jones rally, Make Heaven Crowded.
5:44And she calls ICE protesters the following. Play the clip. The ideas that came in to that chat, awkwardly enough, was a clip of Rachel Maddow and Jimmy Kimmel. I can't believe I'm saying their names in a church, but together. But it was interesting because he asked her the question, do you think these protests are helping? personally i do not i think it's demonic okay right there she said right there under her breath personally i do not i think it's demonic and let's talk about how this woman is weaponizing her faith standing in a church number one dehumanizing rachel maddow and jimmy kimmel because they have a different opinion than she does but let's talk about who's more christian in this Let's get to the nut cutting here.
6:42ICE agents terrorizing people based on skin color, shooting a mother of three because her wife called the agent a big boy and he shot her three times fatally and called her a fucking bitch. ICE kidnapping five-year-old little boys using as bait. And she thinks Jesus gives a shit about her mentioning Rachel Maddow's name or Jimmy Kimmel's name in church, this petty bullshit, this petty stuff. And I want to say right here, right now, these evangelical Christians are the most diabolical, manipulating, arrogant sect I've ever seen. It's all about the grift. The whole electorate is about we're going to Christian values.
7:31We're trotting out our Christian values and wrapped up in all this bullshit patriotism. At the end of the day, they're supporting a pedophile, an alleged pedophile and a pedophile protector, Donald Trump. And they're not standing with these marginalized kids. They're not standing with immigrants. They're not standing with refugees. They're not down at homeless places. They're demeaning those people. They're demeaning the poor. And I am not a Christian. I think Jesus was a fictional character, and I'm not trying to offend anybody in my audience that believes he was real because that's your right.
8:08And I'll always fight for your right to think it's real, but I do not think it was. I think he was a great character, a radical empath, a radical socialist that met people at human suffering. And the more people I meet in my life, the less religious they are, the more Christ-like they are. and the more overtly religious they are, the more narcissistic, sociopathic, grandstanding shit shows, they are like Erica Kirk. And this is just breathtaking hypocrisy right here that these people want to be on the moral high ground. And that whole church, she's in a mega church. The whole purpose of that church is to grift.
8:52So let me tell you something, them. For those of you that are believers, and I don't want to offend you, it's your right to believe it. If you are going to a church right now and your preacher is not advocating for the people who are being targeted by Trump's ICE Gestapo, if your church pastor is focused more on your personal mind, like lusting about maybe screwing somebody than he is about human suffering. And then the tithe jar comes around. You're in a cult. This is not, this is a sect of Christianity that is a death cult. All of their policies support the decimation of any infrastructure that will help working class people.
9:38It supports helping these sociopathic billionaires attain more. And it's my understanding as an atheist that the character, the Christ character in the Bible didn't speak that many words, but he spoke out implicitly about the accumulation of wealth. And I will tell you this, as a woman who lived in the buckle of the Bible belt my entire life, all of these Christians justify their inhumane votes and their dismissive votes of people they love because of money. I like his tax policy. I'm a fiscal conservatism and they throw their family members, their friends, their neighbors right down the tubes because the whole thing is a sham.
10:23The whole thing is a con and it makes perfect sense, perfect sense that these con artists grifting megachurches have hitched their wagon to a con artist grifting sociopath like Donald Trump. I agree with everything you said, and I couldn't say it better. And I'll confirm growing up in those churches, never once are we talking about helping poor people or helping sick people, unless they're a congregant. So all I will add to that is Erica Kirk had every opportunity to save lives. She had every opportunity with her big platform to say, my husband was murdered with a gun because we have a gun problem in the United States of America.
11:16She didn't say that because Charlie Kirk said, if a few people have to die so everybody can keep their guns, I'm for it. So I'm not, I'm just assuming that that was her platform too. And the only other thing I will add is of course, she is in a mega church. This is a woman that Charlie Kirk's net worth at the time of his death was estimated over$10 million. And she took GoFundMe money. So the fact that she's in a mega church, which is Griff Central, that's a perfect marriage right there okay so moving along out for this uh jim jones make uh heaven crowded which sounds like a mass kool-aid drinking suicide event it just does like make heaven crowded and everybody shows up and they pass out the kool-aid is the first thing my brain thought you know these are not our best and brightest thinkers the people that traffic in these mega churches, right?
12:17These are not really deep thinkers. So nonetheless, nonetheless, the people with whom she's collaborating, surprise, surprise, are pedophile protectors. Pop it up, Kylie. Breaking. Erica Kirk is set to launch her speaking tour alongside Pastor Greg Laurie, who has been accused of pedophilia and child trafficking. Of course. Sure. Why not? Of course. Why not? Sure. Why not? Why not act like you are the arbiter of all families and family values and you want to ride the coattails of women who have fought so hard for equality and fought so hard, the suffragettes and the civil rights movements. And then you get and you use all of that hard work to your benefit and you weaponize your gender to beat other women down when your co-partners, a pedophile, makes perfect sense because you support a pedophile.
13:20You vote for a pedophile. Little Moses Mike Grinder, God wakes me up and I'm BFFs with the Lord, Mike Johnson. You know, he is the biggest pedophile protector. So here's what's important, Democrats, and here's what you need to message all day, every day. Number one, we're not funding ICE, period. End of story, Gestapo. Number two, the Republican Party is now the MAGA Party, and MAGA is a cabal of pedophiles. The whole time QAnon, the cabal of pedophiles, the call's coming from inside the house. Erica Kirk's partner in the Jim Jones mass Kool-Aid event is a pedophile. Moses Mike Grindor Johnson, as Pumps has always reported his mentor for his batshit Christian law school that never launched.
14:06Pedophile. Find a megachurch person and you're one degree away from a pedophile. 12 times out of 10, you're one degree away from some fuckery of somebody exploiting a kid. And these people have the audacity and the sanctimony to get on the airwaves. and preach to us and weaponize their religion against us. And then they use it as a shield. Oh my God, Jennifer Welch criticized Christians. Well, you're goddamn right I did. And I will continue to do so because I will not obey in advance. And let me, hot newsflash, I am pro children. Liberals are pro children. I want women to have time off, paid time off to be able to bond with their baby.
14:50I'm not like you. We're built differently. I walk the walk and I talk the talk and I don't need a Bible to guide me, to tell me to care for people. Because you just use the Bible to pretend like you care for people because you're incapable of caring for people, Erica Kirk. And I just, I think the whole post rollout of your husband getting shot by a gun is the most obscene thing, but it makes perfect sense that your partners with Donald Trump and like, you know, like dry humping JD Vance on stage. None of it was that shocking to me moving along. So what do these evangelicals, these nut job evangelicals, the Erica Kirks, the Riley Gaines, sorry, bumps, the Erica Kirks, the Riley Gaines, Elon Musk, not a Bible thumper at all, not a mega churcher.
15:45what do these people have in common no conscience no empathy um uh suck up to power want women to be diminished want black and brown people to be diminished so here is elon musk and every time i hear him speak pumps listener i am just so shocked that anybody could even use the phrase Elon Musk is so smart or Elon Musk is a genius because he's so breathtakingly poorly spoken. It's jarring, but here he is talking about that. You can, you're going to have robots to help you take care of your kids in the future. Play the clip. But I mean, I mean, it is a necessary, um, like you can't have both. You can't have work that has to be done.
16:35Come on, spit it out, buddy. And amazing abundance for all. Because if it's work that has to be done, and only some people can do it, then you can't have abundance for all. Then it's narrow. It's narrow, exactly. But if you have billions of humanoid robots, and I think there will be, I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one. because who wouldn't want a robot to, you know, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pets. If you have elderly parents, a lot of friends might have said they have elderly parents. It's very difficult to take care of them.
17:21I'll tell you who wouldn't want a robot taking care of their kids and their pets is a person that has empathy. But you have identified empathy as toxic and harmful to civilization. And here you are, the most isolated, rich motherfucker on the planet that sits and is chronically online chatting with bots on Twitter and Nazis and white nationalists. So it makes perfect sense that you want to eliminate human connection because you're incapable of connecting with other humans. In fact, I've seen the polling. Everybody hates you, like universally around the globe. You're a global pariah. And so that makes perfect sense that that is something that you're talking about rather painfully trying to get to the point and the commentators trying to bring you along with it.
18:10But when we finally get to your aha genius, I'm Elon Musk, the genius, high IQ guy, your solution to everything is everybody's going to want a robot to take care of their kids. Well, let's see how well you take care of your kids, big boy. Put up Ashley St. Clair, one of many of Elon Musk's baby mamas. Play the clip. Selling it because I need to make up for the 60 % cut that Elon made to her child. All right, there she is. She's selling her Tesla because Elon Musk made a cut to her child support so that she could help pay for the child. Elon Musk should never be near a microphone. Shame on Tesla for giving him this huge package.
18:55This is a man with immense resources. His fingerprints on the earth could be something of beauty, but something happens when people get that rich. They get in some state of psychosis and it makes them worse. Having that much wealth seems to break people. And Elon plays this whole game, Pumps, that he was picked up by bootstraps he's a he's a self-made billionaire well his dad errol was interviewed and errol is the same guy that we did some reporting a few episodes back when elon was non-stop tweeting about me that errol uh errol has been accused by his children and stepchildren of sexual abuse okay so which explains a lot about what's going on with elon and how broken his inner child is and he has all the money to go to like an inner child workshop.
19:52I mean, I don't know why it doesn't go, but whatevs. So here is Errol completely talking about how much privilege Elon grew up with. Play the clip. A pile of money? Yes, yes, yes. You see, Elon and Kimball and Tosca, they grew up with me from a very early age, as I spoke to you earlier about, they only knew that they lived in a very fine home in Watercliffe. By the time they were eight or nine years, seven, eight, nine years old, I had given up Mercedes-Benz cars. I had moved on to Rolls-Royce cars. So they only rode in Rolls-Royce cars, if you understand. They knew that if you wanted to go somewhere, you got into a twin-engined airplane that belonged to you and you flew there and then you landed on your f-strip and you went to your lodge so here he is decimating this idea that elon musk is somehow a self-made billionaire trillionaire now so what i have to say to maggot is this elon musk is the ultimate nepo baby Elon Musk is an immigrant and Elon Musk has decided that your rights don't matter, that you should have somebody like him who is using this myth that's been propagated in the American culture, that if you're rich, you're smart.
21:23And as you could see by that video of Elon unable to land the plane when he wanted to get to the point that his solution for humanity is that we all have robots, raise our kids, take care of our parents and feed our pets, as only a sociopath would recommend, despite all of the psychological expertise saying we are disconnected. and what makes people happy is connection, human connection. This is widely the established narrative. And he's going against that because he can't connect with humans because he's so unlikable. This guy, this immigrant MAGA, this is the guy who's now preaching this abundance thing.
22:04And he's never going to give you anything. Never. You're never going to get anything from this guy. All you're going to get from this guy is watching videos of him tripping balls on ketamine because that's all he's capable of. He's unlikable. He's unlovable. And he spends all of his time chronically on Twitter. How pathetic is that? He's so pathetic. And I guarantee you, I know he like has a penile implant and it's always IVF for these kids. But the fact that he ever got laid once in his entire life is attributed only to his pocketbook. The only thing I'll add to that, because I think it's right on point, is he's sitting up there.
22:45And basically what he's saying is Americans will, I'm sorry, people will no longer be needed and people will no longer have jobs. What's the purpose? He's like, well, I don't know. Not everything's perfect. Well, bitch, if you are a maggot and you're supporting Elon Musk and you work in a car plant or some type of manufacturing, your job is gone. Peace out. He doesn't give a shit. And if you think this guy is going to run around and set up ways with his money or give back government subsidies for these people that robots displace their job, you too are on ketamine because that will never fucking happen.
23:29It's just unbelievable how people watch this and think, oh gosh, that's just a great idea. No connection, no job. Yes. Yeah. It's just, it's, it's absolutely stunning. And I just want to point out something that I want to flag here. Ezra Klein is using the word abundance a lot to pitch, um, his alternate to like Zoran Momdani's affordability. And also now the oligarch class is using the phrasing abundance. And so I just think these are areas where we see corporate Dems propagandizing a certain language for us. And we see the oligarch propagandizing a lie to us, which is abundance. It's something that we need to watch when people make strange bedfellows.
24:16There's really, they have a lot more in common than they do not. So be cautious of this word abundance as these midterms roll up, because to me, it's a red flag, even if liberals are using it. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. Be back later with more news.
