Trump Gets Rude Awakening After This

Good morning, and let's bash MAGA. It's another day in America, another 80-year-old meltdown from our incompetent president of the United States with the press. He's asked about low-T incompetent Pete Hegseth's incoming impeachment that has brought on by Republicans. That's how bad Pete Hegseth is. Let's play the clip. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Yeah, I'll stand by. So even if he's in teach, you're going to be surprised. You're going to be surprised. You're a defense secretary. He went to worse. He was in charge. We all won. I had great people. Do you want? Massey says that he's carried out a lot. Massey's a loser, just like you're a loser at CNN. Just like your ratings are a loser. Massey is a loser. Stone called loser. All right, so there we have just another display of this deranged, demented man on the global stage. And nobody seems to have a problem with this. Well, actually, all of the people that voted in the Blue Nommie did. But the fact that this man still has supporters is just staggering to me. And when we cover him, he makes these kind of remarks always to a female reporter. Always. Always. And another thing about him, he continues, continues to display a level of incompetence, hatefulness. That the media just simply doesn't check. They don't comment on. Like this should be covered every single day when he acts like this, when he berates a reporter. He wants to talk about a loser. Did he look at the election last Tuesday? Do you know how many losses you took, Donald Trump? Because it was massive. Massive. All right, and now his second in command, some people call him Peewee German, that Stephen Miller. He is now, of course, anti-freedom, anti-first amendment, assayed us to his core, in my opinion. And now he's starting to on cue attack the press. Pop this up. Trump now wants to put journalists in jail with White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, AKA Peewee German, pushing for jailing journalists to force out sources. Per the Atlantic. Miller is, quote, in favor and insists that it, quote, wouldn't take long for journalists to give up their sources. Trump wants somebody who will crack skulls and who doesn't want to be rained in. Stephen is the only one who gets stuff done, Trump said. So if we look at this, if you think about our country historically, you think about the quaint Republican presidential scandal that is Watergate, and it was all an anonymous source. And sources are a part of journalism 101. The reason they're scared of sources, in my opinion, is because there are witnesses to the crimes that they are committing. And these sources are now realizing, I need to get on the right side of this. The Dems are coming in, the new Dems are coming in. They are full tilt investigations, full tilt accountability. The winds have changed. And so this is a desperate attempt of MAGA to try to scare whistleblowers surrounding the criminals that are running the country. Just a typical intimidation tactic on their part, but this is the same person it wants to suspend habeas corpus, which is one of the longstanding principles of our country. And so it doesn't surprise us, but it's a typical intimidation bully tactic. And you can tell that the level of reporting must be truthful. It must be hitting the nerve. Somebody inside is spilling the beans. They don't like it. On a side note, the thought that Stephen Miller is going to crack anyone's fucking skull is a joke. I mean, I wish you'd take a stab at me, seriously. I mean, like he's some tough guy. It's easy when you've got the power of the pulpit and the presidency office to sit back and look like a tough guy. But if you're just out in America, like we are, just walking the streets and you saw that guy, he's not going to crack anybody's skull. No, I mean, come on. No, I mean, I think I bet he weighs 110 pounds dripping wet. He would run, he would run. And that's the thing, all of these guys are broken cowards who are now cosplaying as tough guys. And they know that accountability is coming. I also think this is like a message to people like Susie Wiles and Pam Bondy and Kimberly Guilfoyle who have the goods, who know stuff, even what's her name, Big Titty Brian's wife, Christy Nome. That, you know, listen, we will, we are going to jail sources, et cetera, et cetera, because they're terrified of the people that colluded with them and or witnessed them suggest illegal things. And they are trying to, like you said, a mafia style intimidation campaign. And because this president seen my opinion as a total crime syndicate and yet totally. Okay, moving along, Lil Marco was confronted over the Trump administration's corruption. Play the clip. There have been some instances of credible allegations of corruption in US officials dealing overseas and diplomacy, obviously, which the case study will be Ambassador Guilfoyle. Okay. So my question is, are you concerned that Americans might believe that American diplomacy is infected with corruption, self-dealing, self-enrichment? Do you think that perception is out there? I don't know, I don't think it's a reality. No, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know that perception is out there. Not, I can tell you at the department state and I made this very clear from the very beginning. There have been multiple things that have been sent out to make this very clear about what the ethical standard we expect everyone to abide by. And we're going to continue to reiterate that. And that-- I mean, Lil Marco, it's just, he's a fascinating case study in my opinion of what happens to people that are right next to Trump or some rule voter that Trump could give to shits about. Once you start capitulating to this man, you become more and more broken. I mean, he's just a shell of a human being. They've given him like five or six different jobs because he's the only one in the cabinet that actually knows how government works that was, I didn't respect him, but for all intents and purposes, he would have been considered a mainstream, respectable senator. And he is just completely kamikazid, his entire political career to die on the hill of an 80-year-old, demented, convicted felon, a adjudicated rapist man that is in the epicenter of the Epstein files that will forever be his legacy. - My favorite, Marco, every time I see him, I think of that time. He's given this big speech in Greece. On the same day that the story breaks about Gille Foil, squeezing a guy from Kentucky for a hundred grand to pay or am act, he's got to get up there and give this speech about how great our country is and all the hard work we're doing over there. And of course, he was an ambassador to Greece. That was her connection. But he said a couple of things in there. When he asked about scandals, the reporter, he's, Marco says, "Which one?" You know, that was very telling. He did say that specifically. And so let's remind you, which one? Like you've got all this stuff with Steve Whitkoff, with Jared Kushner. You've got the Katari plane that was gifted to the president. You've got, I mean, you know, everybody knows these. You've got Kimberly Gille Foil's scam that we talked about. I mean, for him not to know that there's a perception of this meant that he paid no attention to last Tuesday when Democrats kicked your ass in the first or second issue on their mind was public corruption. So Marco, you need to watch the news, read the paper, or however you get your news. It's easy to figure out. - My favorite part of Marco's arc is gonna be this. I was really pissed off when they voted to confirm him in the Senate 99 and now. I was pissed at Democrats. I expected Republicans to do it, but I was really pissed at Democrats. Several months after that, I had Senator Chris Murphy on the pod and I asked him if he regretted his vote and he said, I do regret it. I shouldn't have voted for him. What I think is gonna end up happening. The same people that voted for him 99 and now because they thought, okay, he's gonna be a guard rail. He's gonna be the adult in the administration, which he ended up just being the only person who knew how government worked to help them in my opinion commit crimes and do illegal stuff. He's gonna end up back in front of the Senate. And there's gonna be a reckoning and it's gonna be humiliating for him when they start exposing the, what I believe, just straight up being a traitor with Russia, with Israel, with these elections in Brazil, the election in Ukraine, which by the way, the people that the United States government backed got their asses beat. And I think that that's gonna be his story arc before he ends up at the Hague. I think that market, book market, that's what I think is gonna happen in a little market. - I think he and Hexeth, those are the two guys that are on point on all of these different stories and issues that we see overseas. Like they know everything. And so Marco can't run from this. You can't leave this position and think you're moving elsewhere. That's not gonna happen. - And they've enabled Kushner and Whitcoff and they've not been a guard rail to what they're doing 'cause they're using the sweat equity and the credibility of the United States of America to personally enrich themselves and their kids while lying and weaponizing Christianity to the remaining MAGA people, which last time I looked at the electoral map, it was abysmal, but it's still there. But they are pathological liars and they are traders to the United States of America. And I cannot wait for Little Marco to be in the hot seat in a place where he used to be respected. the United States Senate. they rip him and read him for filth. All right, as I said, another day in America, another Trump family griffed pop this up. The Trump administration awarded a company nearly 40 million in contracts just months after a film linked to the president's elder sons invested in it. This is a pro-publica report. Pro-publica is doing incredible journalism. Make sure you support them because we still need journalists chronically all of these crimes and quid pro-quos that are going on, Josh. - Let me give you just a few details about this. It's a long story, but I want to try to simplify it. So a company that runs airport spas and waxing salons just one nearly 40 million dollars to fight Ebola. So think about that. - What? - Think about that. - That can't be real. - So then in February, a fund tied to Don Junior and Eric Trump invested about 30 million dollars into this company. So they make the investment first and in this company that runs airport spas and waxing salons gets rewarded this big government contract to fight Ebola and you just think, "Fuck, where are we?" Like what is going on here? And again, like on all these griffs, it's not a hundred grand or 50 grand. This is like 30 million dollars or 40 million dollars. They invest 30, the government contracts with this company for 40. By June, the Centers for Disease Control hired it for airport Ebola screening. It has. - No waxing salon? - Yeah, it has never handled Ebola and never worked overseas. Even its own chief executive says he's not sure they can do it. Not sure they can do it, but we're willing to dump 40 million on you to find out. - Let's find out here. - Well, wax you, if you're negative with Ebola, we'll go ahead and give you a bikini wax. That is utterly insane. And this coming from the party of waste fraud and abuse. - Yeah. - You know, it's just. - The only thing that's consistent here is that these two little fucking weasels would be involved with some airport spa or waxing salon. - Dumb and Dammers, I like to call them. - Now the part of it that they're fighting Ebola, that makes no sense at all. - You know, I remember Don Jr. just going apeshit over Hunter all of the time. Just absolutely relentless on Hunter. And there will be a reckoning there as well. We're at the beginning stages of it, you know, and they know the reckoning is incoming. So that's why supporting journalists like ProPublica so they continue to chronicle and investigate this stuff is so incredibly important. Because we are saving us, we the people went out and voted and we, you know, journalists, independent media, et cetera. All right, so you know Steve Bannon and when Maga won, he said you flood the zone. So that's with policy, that's with propaganda, that's with everything. Another flood the zone they're doing is they are getting people into custody undocumented or people that have paperwork issues with their immigration status. They're getting them, kidnapping them to such a quick click that the courts cannot keep up with it, pop this up. Wow, this is incredible. The acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington says it no longer has the manpower to respond to every ICE, habeas, corpus case. So going forward, it will decline to defend many cases and let judges rule without any government opposition, Josh. - So when an individual's taken into custody, if you're detained unlawfully, you can file what's called a writ of habeas corpus and you can petition the court. You can ask the court to examine your detention and if it's unlawful, the court can release you or do that you be released. It's a fundamental right in our judicial system that we've had for decades, for centuries. In Washington, this is unheard of. So you got the head U.S. attorney in this particular district riding the judges and telling them basically, look, we don't have enough manpower to respond to these wreaths of habeas corpus, these petitions for habeas corpus. We don't have enough manpower. And so we're gonna pick the ones that we wanna respond to and then those that we don't, the courts free to rule on without our involvement, without our representation. And that's just unheard of. And I know a headline like that may not mean much to everyday citizens that don't pay attention or know the legal system. But for us that knows DOJ's responsibility and it knows the courts, we do know, and even in the Western District of Oklahoma where I live, the courts are inundated with these petitions for habeas corpus relief inundated. And why is that? Because ICE is detaining so many people unlawfully, so many people. And that's the point of this story is that these detentions are so unlawful, there's so many of them. It's massive across the country that the US attorneys who are charged with defending them can't keep up. And so now you have a head USA saying, hey, I can't do this. It's really remarkable. And I think a reflection of where we are with ICE, which is why we need to abolish and remove ICE and get some law and order back in HSI. I completely agree, ICE needs to be to quote incoming Senator like Peggy Flanagan, it needs to be ripped apart. And the ICE agents, which there's been reporting that a lot of them were the proud boys that don't tread on me. I don't want a big, strong, powerful government stripping people of the rights, the right to habeas corpus. These guys have now joined the federal government, the deep state, if you will. All right, moving along, this is a heartbreaking story. And every chance we get, we need to humanize the people that MAGA dehumanizes. To MAGA, these people are important, white, Christian, nationalists, or supporters of Donald Trump that happen to have melanin in their skin. Everybody else is a lib-tarred terrorist. And that's their worldview. It's a very elementary AB choice, because these people don't understand nuance, and they don't humanize children that are from other countries. And this is a new report of an eight-year-old boy being detained by ICE. Our government is doing this. Play the clip. This was the first time I saw a child that young. And it was just, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, because I had never watched a child by himself get detained in that manner. She says it was upsetting to witness that. This is kind of like a war. And you just do what you got to do and deal with the emotions later, because these people need us. There's nobody else that's witnessing how they're being targeted and abused. All right, this boy had shown up for a routine immigration appointment and was separated from his family. As of now, his family does not know where he is being held. The inhumanity and the cruelty of the MAGA movement, we have to remember the cruelty is the point. They like to engage in recreational cruelty for sport. The White House immigration page and social media accounts use these types of videos, and they label them as ASMR, so that people can relax to this. Nancy Mace said, "I love watching ice videos of them going in and handcuffing and roughing up people that they deem undocumented. This is entertainment for them. Watching an eight-year-old boy and all of you out there, think of an eight-year-old in your life. Maybe it's a grandchild, maybe it's your own child, maybe it's a nephew or a cousin, or think about when you were eight. Our government is doing this stuff. While at the same time, we stand on this moral high ground that we are this shining democracy on the hill. We are a joke governed by, as I showed you at the top of this episode, an incompetent, demented buffoon that according to all of the AI companies that prop him up, they all asked, you know, Claude and ChatGPT and Grog, what do you think this man's IQ is? He didn't even crack a hundred. And so we are living in the cruelest, the dumbest, the most ridiculous of time. So as depressing as that is, our votes were ours to go and rectify and bring a reckoning to these egregious human rights violations and recreational cruelty that is thrust upon communities because the people that are governing us right now are bigots. It's stories like this, I think that when you watch up close, really, really piss you off. I mean, I can't help but watch this and just not get so mad. This eight-year-old boy, his father was deported and he was living with his uncle. And they came and took him away from his uncle and put him in custody. This boy is not a flight risk. He's not a threat to the community. You do that like you pointed out. You do that to be cruel, to be me. You do that on purpose. It's intentional. And again, this is an eight-year-old kid that should be at school, should be playing basketball. There are parts of this country that will have a stain on it for so long that make me question sometimes, if I want to be here, makes me question the people I share space with. And our system is so broken, and just imagine being a family member, and this is happening everywhere. This is happening all across the country, and it's easy to want to double down on these guys, and just so you know what, fuck guys, fuck these agents, fuck all of them. I mean, it really is just to bring out the complete rage inside of you, when you see a video like that. And so we're going to continue to fight for kids like him and other people that are detained unlawfully, that are shot and murdered. We're going to advocate for those people and do everything we can to bring this to the public's attention about the atrocities that happen day in and day out in this country. Very well said, and I want to leave you all with this, as depressing as all of that is, remember Tuesday, the best of us sent the worst in this country, a huge message. Tech Cruise is the lone Republican in Texas, and we have to right now think about 28 and expanding the map, because this fascism that is incubated here, and you have people like Stephen Miller at the helm, who is, it's just cruel for sport, and like he's going to go out and crack skulls and all of this stuff, accountability for what we just saw right there. Don't let any Democrat act like that isn't important because it is incredibly important, and it is intimately linked to affordability. If we don't have a country and the Democrats don't claim the mantle of being the party of law and order, or as Hassan Piker says, we need to come in and put belt to ass with these people, you don't have an economy if you don't have a court system. The best economies in the world have the best governments in the world. Our government is not good right now. We're being propped up by these joke tech oligarchs right now, and it's the bubble's going to burst. We have to stay focused because these people are relentless and they will never stop and there has to be a reigning hellfire of accountability on the cruel people that do this to little kids and that have taken our good country and ripped it to shreds because they are so broken. All right. That's all we have. Make sure you're subscribed to become a member, order my book, Not Today Fascist, and we'll be back later with more news. [BLANK_AUDIO]
