Home of the Save. All right, we are lasering in on the midterms. The people are going to go out in droves and vote. The federal government, the Republican Party are cheaters and liars, and here's what they're up to. Play the clip. Past two elections that I oversaw as lieutenant governor, the threats were all external. Non-state actors, cybersecurity threats, and other things. But now we also have threats coming from within our own government. Your federal government. That's right. If there is a sample ballot, like a. Perfect. Yeah. Of course they're going to cheat. Yeah. There's no question they're going to cheat. And here's the deal. They have like a 27-prong plan to cheat. If this doesn't work, this will work. And, you know, here's the thing. You see all of these red states, including the one I'm currently sitting in, Oklahoma, that are willing to turn over their voter roll. So many red states are doing this. And not fighting the government, despite the fact that elections are supposed to be locally run by the county and by the state. But Trump doesn't want that. Because that is an opportunity for him to come in and say, that voter data is wrong. I mean, I remember, I mean, I'm not too old to remember when Tulsi Gabbard was, you know, swooping in and taking ballots from Georgia. And this is just one of many different tactics they are going to use, coming November 3rd. And that was Deirdre Henderson. And she is the lieutenant governor of Utah. And so, literally, our democracy is in the hands of Republican politicians in red state. And sadly, a lot of these Republicans are so lacking in moral conviction and moral clarity. And they will do whatever Trump wants them to do. And you have. You have people like Mike Rogers, who is encouraging voter intimidation in a leaked audio. Play the clip. So what we got them to commit to was they're going to have a healthy voter integrity program. The fact that they've already hired a deputy told you how far ahead of the game. We weren't that far before. And I've been telling them, you know what? Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll walkers in Detroit. Because go ahead. Try to intimidate them. Please. Please. Yeah. So the Republican Party ideas are so bad. And they have been so bad for decades that they have always been going after the vote. Because here is the truth. The more people that vote, the more the Democrats win. So this is why we have a system that allows for minority rule. The Supreme Court, if you look at each justice, the majority of them. were appointed by a president that did not win the popular vote. So we have minority rule. The Senate inherently allows for minority rule. The fact that Oklahoma, where Angie is sitting, a state, 3 million people, all Christian nationalists, bottom five state, the worst of the worst in every single category has two senators, both of which kiss Donald Trump's ass and favor his ego over what's best for democracy. They're always going to favor Donald Trump's ego. And the state of New York, where I'm sitting right now, tens of millions of people, two senators. The way our system is set up allows for minority rule. And so this minority will do, intimidate, break the law, and cheat every chance they can get to cling on to power. Well, and you also look at the Electoral College. Why do we still have an Electoral College? Every person that votes can be counted individually. But Republicans don't want to get rid of the Electoral College because they want to be able to scoop in and give a state like Oklahoma electoral votes instead of saying, okay, everybody in California vote. And there are Republicans in California. But voter for voter, if you didn't have an Electoral College, I believe the Republicans would be shit out of luck. And just one thing I want to add to this Mike Rogers situation. Okay, this is a man that is so pathetic in that same phone call he was talking about, he didn't want to go to bed and be winning and then wake up and have it been stolen. And going back to the election lies peddled by Trump, that if you don't have all the electoral votes, I mean, if you don't have all the ballots counted before you go to bed, it's a lie and you're stealing. And then additionally, I was reading over the weekend, Trump allies are pushing martial law. In wide numbers to either stop counting votes or to keep the votes from being recognized. I mean, this is a crazy time in the United States of America. And BJ's knows savings. This is your home, coach. Home of the Save. Open soon. BJ's, home of the Save. Yeah, this is the, you know, the death rattle of the patriarchy. They know this is not popular. Their lame duck, dementia duck president has under 30% approval rating. This is worse than George W. Bush numbers when he lost his job. He left after he deregulated markets and, you know, started forever wars at the end of 2008. And we know this is going to be a massive, massive, massive tsunami. And that if the Democrats have a pair, if we can get some progressives in leadership, that we could actually move at the same clip that Trump has been moving at. So, but, you know, MAGA is a death, cult of the highest order. And here is just more evidence that MAGA absolutely doesn't care about our troops. Pop this up. The Daily Beast is reporting, and we spare you guys the video from being online. This was, it's all over Twitter. An airman has died after falling while rappelling from the rafters at a college football game in Texas. So, Hegseth has the military out when he's not injecting them with testosterone. He has them out doing, uh, tricks like circus seals to raise morale and all of this stuff. And, and, uh, a guy, you know, probably didn't want to do his, this in Texas. And he falls to his death and dies in a full stadium. Um, we have to realize that the people in the government, these MAGA Christians do not value human life. They say they do as a means of manipulation, but these people genuinely are sociopaths and psychopaths. That are incapable of empathy, incapable of valuing human life. Hegseth, Donald Trump's kids, none of these, none of these rich guys that have got to power, none of them will send their kids to fight in war. Just like all of the tech oligarchs, their kids don't have the technology that they make on their phones because they know how dangerous it is. So this is, this is just another example that I always say from my own experience, my experience of living around, uh, uh, Republican Christians, my whole life in Oklahoma, these people do not value life. That is one of their biggest lies that they promote. They do not value life. They value money over human life. 12 times out of 10. No, I completely agree with you. And if you look at Pete Hegseth, this is not the first time he hasn't valued human life. He's not valued human life. I wasn't familiar with him before he became. The secretary of defense, but he, you know, he, he enjoys and likes watching murdering people on fishing boats. He didn't give a shit enough to have any oversight of little girls being bombed in Iran. You talk about the servicemen that he servicemen and women who have been killed in Iran. He doesn't even acknowledge that it happens or he goes in and out with the numbers. This is a man that exactly to your point. He doesn't give a shit about anything except restoring the warrior ethos. If you want, if you gave a shit about these people and wanted them to be fully committed soldiers that did the best of their ability, you wouldn't fire every qualified person in the Pentagon to train them and to oversee them and to plan for them. This is a man that thinks he's playing call of fucking duty, in my opinion. Yes. And here's what's so important, you brought up People in the Pentagon. The reason that those firings took place is because Pete Hexeth, Donald Trump, and the tech oligarchs, and now Donald Trump's new allies, the Russian government, they want loyalists in the military. They want people who will help them get power and keep it. These people want a Christian nationalist authoritarian government. Do the tech oligarchs, are they big Christians? No. But they know that this is the most easily co-opted group on the planet. Everybody's co-opted them. And this is the strange bedfellow situation where you have all of the tech oligarchs that are now colluding with all of the Christian nationalists because their end goal is this. They want to dismantle democracy. Women can't vote. Gays can't vote. Black and brown people are second-class citizens. This is their unified goal. And for Vladimir Putin, he now has the might of the United States military on his side because these people do not care about democracy. They are liars. And the Republican Party should. Forever. Forever. Until the end of times, be branded as the anti-democracy, anti-constitution, anti-patriotic party. Forever. Because they could end this. They could end it right now at any time. And they have chosen to assuage the fragile ego of a man with dementia who is coming out left and right as bisexual all the time. Meanwhile, they want to preach to us. They want to preach to us about all this masculinity, which I don't give a shit if he's bisexual, but they do. They care about that. Pete Hegseth and all of his Christian nationalist tattoos and Doug Wilson, his freak show pastor, they give a shit about it. But the Republican Party should forever be branded. And the Democrats need to whip up the rhetoric because this is unbelievable. Now we have new reporting on the Habba Grinnell scandal surrounding the Kennedy Center. Pop this up. Melina Habba Mildon initially told Trump that the $17 million bank transfer at the heart of her spat with Grinnell came from her husband. But when her lawyers later presented White House the wire receipt, the sender was redacted. The money actually came from the government of the DRC. And so that is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And you may remember, Angie, when we were talking about this, I immediately was like, do we even really think this money is from her husband? Like, come on. I mean, we knew from initially that this woman is corrupt. She probably married a corrupt person. Oh, for sure. In the exact same way that Ivanka Trump, her dad's a convicted felon. Jared Kushner's dad is a convicted felon. Being around criminals and criminal mindset, that's what's comfortable for these people. Yeah, I went down a rabbit hole on this. And what it boils down to, and I'm not an expert on what's going on. In Venezuela, other than to say from a bird's eye view, it looks like there's a whole lot of fucking corruption going on there. And this Alina Habas, now husband, who has been married three times and is 25, yet says he's 29. But that's a whole different thing. He has ties to Venezuela. Wait, hold up. Did you say he's been married three times and is 25 years old? Yes, and I'm like, how do you math that? Yeah, she's his fourth wife. Is he American? No, no, no, no, no. I think he is Saudi. Okay. No, I don't know what he is, but yes, he's not American. Okay. So he has big investments in Venezuela. And then the U.S. goes in and takes over. And then this Rick Grinnell has ties to a security company in Texas that does business with Venezuela. And so instead of just transferring, okay, I want to donate to the Kennedy. The allegation is that he donated to this business that has ties to the Venezuelan government in Texas and that it was directed by Grinnell and then withheld from the Kennedy Center. And I'm just looking at it going, call me crazy. This seems like a massive money laundering scheme and or some kind of bribe that I'm not aware of. Like this whole thing stinks. Stinks to high heaven. And I think it is so much deeper than just where's the six million dollars that was allegedly used for the Kennedy Center. I mean, I think it is going to take a forensic account in years to figure this shit out. Probably won't even take that long because these people are incompetent. They would not hatch a scheme that took years to unravel because the only thing that might save us from these people is their utter incompetence. But to your point about all of the corruption, this to me is just, this is part and parcel. Everything's transactional. Everything is a shakedown. Everything is, this is our time for white collar criminals. White collar criminals rise up. Our leader is here and we are all going to grift and shake down and do everything we can to get as much money as we can. And of course, the white collar criminals are dicking each other over. Then they want to go tattle tale to Donald Trump about it like he gives a shit. He doesn't even really give a shit. Kimberly Guilfoyle, I think the only reason he fired her is because he was unimpressed that she only went after 100K. I think for him, that was like, are you serious? Do you have any idea what Jared Kushner and all these other people are doing? All right, that's all we have. Please like, subscribe. We'll be back later with more news.
