All Hell Breaks Loose For Trump After Weekend Disaster

The transcript critiques Donald Trump’s leadership and media strategy, arguing that he systematically promotes disinformation and lies to his supporters, who remain deeply loyal despite clear falsehoods. The analysis highlights a disturbing policy reversal where Trump now supports Russian energy exports—contradicting prior bipartisan sanctions—suggesting a direct alignment with Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. This is framed as a profound betrayal of U.S. interests, especially given Trump’s prior endorsement of Putin over U.S. intelligence. The narrative also exposes a coordinated disinformation campaign involving figures like Elon Musk and Stephen Miller, who amplify false claims, such as the fabricated story about James Talleriko, to manipulate public belief. These actions are described not as random but as deliberate, targeting a gullible, ideologically driven base that is easily influenced by propaganda. The broader concern centers on the consolidation of media power by wealthy allies of Trump, creating a system where disinformation is amplified across social and corporate media platforms. This ecosystem enables the spread of falsehoods with institutional backing, undermining democratic accountability. The concern grows that such manipulation will persist beyond Trump’s tenure, reshaping American politics through media-controlled narratives. The author concludes that public awareness and massive voter turnout are essential to counteract this influence and restore truth in political discourse.

Droning on in his deathbed confession era, the president of the United States mocks his supporters to their faces and they don't get it. They absolutely don't pick up what he's putting down. Play the clip. I mean, it's amazing. When you stand up here, it's just like the love. I could say the stupidest things in your lap. You know, I love you so. I'm sure. Did you see that lady in the red blazer behind him going, it's true. He could say whatever he wants. It's, it's true. Josh. I think that he makes his own point right there. I mean, he says that they're so stupid that he could say anything and they agree. They laugh. But I find more depressing about that particular piece is the fact that none of the major news sources covered it. And the bigger story here is the lack of disinformation that's given to Trump's voters and the way that Fox News and others present the narrative in our country for them to even be there for starters. But we talk about this often. These people are not very well educated. They don't know the issues. And this is a cult. And you say this over and over. And I think you're right. I mean, it's a cult of people that get something from being in it that they ignore facts. They ignore realities in order to believe in this thing. It's just not real. And a bigger question that I don't necessarily know the answer to is how do you combat that when people live in another world, when they live with these illusions, applies. How do you combat that? That's a whole different animal. Yeah. And I think you bring up a good point because you have obviously the people in the cult. And then you have all of these the Republicans that placate to a brainwashed segment of the population. You have the oligarchs that capitulate to the brainwashed segment because all of these people want to dismantle democracy as we know it. And Trump has some great allies in this, in his in his plight to dismantle the United States as a superpower. And some fascinating things happened this weekend. Trump bought a bunch of diesel from Russia. And let me just spell this out for everybody. Russia, not our friend. Russia is bombing our ally Ukraine. Russia is helping Iran and funding Iran with its war against the United States of America. Donald Trump is now buying and giving money to Russia who were at war with Iran. Russia's Iran's big ally in this whole thing. So it's just absolutely stunning. We are now funding the war against us because that's how incompetent this man is. And Trump on the tarmac thinks Putin after announcing the US will buy Russia's oil play the clip. I heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country. And I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you. We have massive amounts of oil being coming into our country. And it's diesel, which is what we want. So okay, my apologies. That's on the in the White House, not on the tarmac. But you know, this is the same guy who in 2016 showed us who he was. He's in Helsinki. He said, I believe Vladimir Putin over United States intelligence people. This is this is something that is a million times bigger than Watergate. This is something so incredibly massive that he is now funding our adversary. And I want to say it again. Russia is helping Iran in its war against us. There is no bigger supporter and advocate and in Vladimir Putin's decades-long quest to dismantle United States super power than Donald Trump. I mean, he got him installed and he is doing all of his bidding, Josh. Well, and I think it was just a few months ago that Trump signed sanctions. It was a bipartisan effort by both Democrats and Republicans that they would sanction. Putin from being able to export energy. And so when he does this, it's just a complete about face. When he announces that they're going to buy diesel exports, you even see some of the Democratic and Republican senators saying, wait a second, we just passed legislation that you signed for bidding this. And why doing about face on this? And when Trump doesn't about face on something, that normally means there's some financial incentive for him to do it about face. And so I think a lot of this is going to be tied to, I think there's a company called Luke Oil, which he's trying to negotiate. It's just so crazy that even have to try to articulate this. But you have the president who's also trying to negotiate the sale of an energy company in Russia to American investors at the same time he's trying to negotiate the war between Russia and Ukraine. And there are all of these inherent conflicts of interest when he does that. But the one thing that you can be sure of is that in negotiations like this, Trump is always looking for an angle to make either himself or his family or someone wealthy rich. And that's what's taking place here. That's why he's done it about face. He's fading heat from bipartisan senators because he just signed off on an economic sanction with Congress to forbid this very same practice. So somebody's making a lot of money. I think it's been reported that there's some American investors that are going to make tons of money off this Luke Oil that took a hit when these sanctions were initiated in 2022. So more to be revealed, I'm sure. And again, I want to emphasize you guys, look at how effusive he was towards Vladimir Putin in that video that we played. Vladimir Putin is helping Iran kill Americans and attack United States Air Force bases. The Republicans do nothing. They are submissive. I don't even know that there is a word in any language anywhere to describe how beta these men are. The depravity and the capitulation that these men have zero conviction for their country, for themselves, for their children, for their wives, for anybody is stunning. And let's compare the way Donald Trump just spoke about Vladimir Putin with this clip of how he is speaking about Zelensky who reminder everybody is our ally. Play the clip or would have never started. There was no reason that that war with Ukraine and Russia started. It started due to incompetence to the never started. You wouldn't have lost 30% of your country already. You've lost 30% of your country and you've had over a million people killed between the two of them, over two million people killed. That's a war that should have never started. And I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president. Okay. Putin started the war. Vladimir Putin started the war, Josh. And is anyone going to report on that disinformation? I mean, it was an unprovoked attack by Russia that started this. And it was over oil and wanting this country back that used to be a part of Russia, I believe. And so he's just gaslighting. He's just lying to the American people. And does anyone report that? Does anyone put that in context that what he says there? And I'm not so sure that Ukraine is our ally. I mean, I think they were at one point under President Biden, but I don't know what their status would be. Unfortunately, other than just, and we just talked about this, but within two months ago, he signed off on sanctions against Russia. And now he's just completely abandoned that. And yeah, Putin had definitely had something on him. There's no way you could explain a lot of his conduct. And you mentioned Helsinki way back when you think that there's going to be a new bottom for him. And there's just not. There's never a new bottom for Donald Trump when he says these things. Yeah. And I do think that probably Zelensky and members leaders of the European Union have conversations behind Donald Trump's back nonstop about, look, he is bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin. He is not a friend. We act like the United States is still our ally, but we know that he's in bed with the Russians. And the problem with all of this is Putin has his has his sights set beyond key. After Ukraine, it's Poland and then on and on and on. And you see the United States of America, you see Marco Rubio, you see Donald Trump, Parrot, Putin's talking points. And Zelensky bombed a bunch of data centers and all of the bot activity on X has completely flatlined. And so it's just stunning. I'm like, okay, so we're spending all this money on all this military stuff. If you're telling me we could have just bombed Russia's data centers to get all of these crazy Americans, you know, you see these guys that were I'd rather be Russian. be a Democrat. I'm like, so why didn't we do that? I mean, you know, both parties seem to like to bomb shit to an extent. Why weren't we doing this 10 years ago? And I think that President Zelensky, I think his main attack here is that, listen, you're funding. Now, this money that you're going to give Russia is going to help fund this war. And surprisingly enough, when you look at what's happened in this war, Ukraine has done a really good job of resisting in the past past year or past six months or so. And the casualties are almost three to one. Russia, as opposed to Ukraine, they've lost many more soldiers and suffered many more casualties than Ukraine has. It's surprising. All right. So here's a story that is just so ridiculous. I'm hesitant to even cover it, because I just think these idiots in in MAGA are so insane, but it is a face plan to end all face plans. So MAGA spent the entire weekend spreading a conspiracy theory. And as they do, the eating the dogs, eating the cats, the daycare centers, and Minnesota, all of these things are conspiracy theories that start with MAGA. And you saw how idiotic at the top of this episode, Trump supporters are, yep, he sure can say stupid shit. And we sure do, Giggle. So you see the psychological soil, how easy it is to co-opt these idiotic, bigoted MAGA supporters. So Nick Soertor pops up a tweet, pop this up. He tweets, "Breaking exclusive, Ohio mental hospital confirms. James Talleriko was discharged from the facility earlier this week. The flu thing was a big fat lie. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, chimes in on this shit. And he says the Talleriko campaign is hiding something big that voters ought to know about. And then Steven Miller, the president's top advisor, chimes in on this. Taller Friko needs to release the medical records, quote, if they exist at all. So, you know, here you have these idiots, complete idiots that have a shit ton of power. And the treatment center that they claim this happened out was forced to release a statement, debunking this entire thing. And it's like Talleriko is like, you know what, I'm having a meltdown. Why don't we go to a treatment center in Ohio? I mean, it's just, it's, these people are so stupid, but as you can see from the cult video we played at the top of this, whatever these people say, they believe it. They like lies. Yeah, they do. And the bigger story here is to me and everything that we cover here at IHIP, it seems like there's this threat of disinformation by people that own the media to a certain extent. And that's a scary thing because we're used to disinformation from, from one side of government, from MAGA. But what Trump has done, anytime you see Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk at the White House, you realize that the impact of that for the American people are things like this with Elon Musk jumping in. It's a systematic, intentional effort on their parts to manipulate and lie to the American people. It's that simple. And I don't know that they're that stupid. I think that all of this is intentional to play to the exact same set of people, group of people that you showed on the first clip here. That's your audience. And so if we throw enough disinformation out, we can get them to believe any damn thing that we want to. And that's the scary part. And a bigger question for me, and I've thought about this a lot lately, is how do you, if you're one party, how do you combat another party that just blatantly lies and gives the American people lies and propaganda and misinformation on a daily basis. And then you add this component or Trump has, he has the media now on his side. And we looked at the significance of that with Paramount and the Warner Brothers thing. And when the state of California, the attorney general, capitulated to that, you're going to see the impact of decisions like that. When all of these same networks are bought by the same people, you're going to see the Elon Musk censoring speech and things like that. You're going to see that everywhere. And that's a whole different enemy that we haven't had to combat before. We've just had a party in Fox News and they're trying to, they're trying to make this monopoly of lies and disinformation across the board and all aspects of media, whether it's TV, cable, social media, etc. And I agree with you that the Stephen Miller's and Elon Musk know that this is not true. But they co-op the the most gullible segment of our population, which is something that is going to live beyond Trump, which is this, these are these magnet cultists. These people get co-opted by their mega church pastors, by Fox News, by right wing media. And they are trying to add veracity to a claim they know as an outright lie. Stephen Miller would know where James Hall or Rico was because he would use, he would use the full force of the federal government to get where is he and try to figure it out. I mean, there's no question these people are probably tapping phones. This is just my personal opinion that people that work in the White House have, you know, creators and candidates, phones tapped and stuff like this. There's no question they're doing that right in my opinion. And so they are trying to lend credibility and veracity to these claims that they know are not right lie. And here's Elon Musk using Twitter to run a coordinated disinformation campaign. And Josh, this is to your point that all of these evil men that support Trump now control all of the media, both social and corporate media, pop this up. Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Soertor's recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing, preventing community notes on the post. It's all hands on deck trying to make the fake, tolerico story stick. So this is some, both good news and bad news. The bad news is really bad people, broken just degenerates or controlling all of these media and rigging the algorithm. So the good news is they're scared. Steven Miller scared. I mean, why would you reduce yourself to some easily a lie that would be easily verifiable? Even the hospital came out and said, no, he's never been here. They're scared that we're going to get the Senate as well as the House. And that means investigations into Musk, into Steven Miller, etc, etc, etc. So their internal polling must not look very good on the Republican side. Josh, final thoughts. Well, and you again see this as part, like you said, a systematic effort by the government, it's intentional. And they think that if they throw enough mud up against the wall, that something will stick. And it's a different, the Democrats are going to be able to combat this in real time and move quickly and respond to it. And it's scary. It's this element of media controlling government that's scary that we haven't seen before that Trump is trying to amass when he has all these billionaires to the White House. And he's playing to a dumb audience. We've seen how dumb they are in the first clip. So it's not that hard to sell this shit to them. Yeah, exactly. All right, make sure you subscribe. Make sure you comment. Make sure you register to vote. We have got to take a turnout that is so massive, historic, historic, massive turnout in these midterms to cram it down these people's throats because if they're scared now, I want them to be terrified when they wake up after our big blue tsunami. We'll see you all later.
