UH OH, Donald... Disaster Strikes and WH Scrambles

Katie Zachariah has been named Trump’s new White House Press Secretary, drawing criticism for being a known conspiracy theorist and promoter of false narratives, including links between abortion and Nazi-era chemicals. Critics argue her appointment reflects a broader pattern of misinformation, loyalty to falsehood, and a disregard for truth in the Trump administration. The DOJ is reportedly investigating major news networks for anti-trust violations, with claims of seeking internal documents to damage their reputations and suppress critical reporting. This is seen as part of a systemic effort to control the media and eliminate dissent. Concurrently, Kimberly Gilfoil, Trump’s former Fox News employee and current ambassador to Greece, is under scrutiny for allegedly selling access, accepting improper payments, and threatening officials—actions viewed as criminal and indicative of a wider culture of corruption. Critics emphasize that the Trump inner circle operates with complete impunity, using power to manipulate, cover up, and exploit. The lack of media coverage, particularly from Fox News, is seen as a sign of institutional complicity. Overall, the narrative portrays the administration as deeply unaccountable, driven by conspiracy-driven ideologies and a deliberate dismantling of press freedom, all underpinned by a culture of loyalty to misinformation and personal gain.

All right, finally, I know you've all been waiting with baited breath to find out who is going to be the new White House press secretary. I know I have just been on pins and needles. Of course, they're rolling out another cultist, somebody who is a pathological liar, complete conspiracy theorist, and of course looks like a Barbie doll pop this up. Conservative commentator Katie Zachariah has replaced Caroline Levitt as Trump's White House Press Secretary Angie. Okay, so I, when I saw this, my first thought was, "Haha, to Scott Jennings, she didn't get the job you wanted." Then I was looking into her background. So she's worked for Trump, she's been his troop social advisor, which I don't know what that means. And then what I found interesting is I was reading an article when asked about her, Trump started talking about how loyal she was. She's one of his most loyal supporters, which tells me there is just no bottom to the crimes that in my opinion, this administration is committing and that she is willing to cover up. And I will just say this, and this is just a side note, because all we hear on Fox News is about the low birth rate, and women need to be in the home, raising children, child wife. This is a woman that has four children, which I, I think it's great that she's working, but they don't. And again, it's the hypocrisy on steroids that we always see in this movement. And here is Trump's new press secretary talking about the abortion pill that we all know, MAGA, and the Supreme Court is gunning for play the clip. And to see him be able to kind of cut through the culture war and get right to the heart of, you know, depopulation efforts of abortion, that the racist background of abortion, you know, the abortion pill has the same chemicals that they used in the exterminate, you know, exterminate camps in Nazi Germany. These to stop the progesterone from flying and cut off the oxygen to the baby, right? It's amazing to me that somebody who is promoting a very Nazi-esque regime is trying to say that women who use an abortion pill or Nazis, that sort of mental gymnastics that they go through. But this is a very real thing. This women that have been completely brainwashed in their churches and advocate for less rights for them. This woman rode the shoulders of all of the progressive movements prior to her. And all of the progressive movements helped each other. The civil rights movement helped the feminist movement, helped the LGBTQ+ movement. All of these things are interconnected. And all of these people, when you look at Scott Besson or any of the women or brown-skinned cash betel, that have ridden the coattails of progressive movements, that got them the right to have this job. And then to get there and dismantle it based on chicken shit lies is so insane. This gal also promoted pizza gate and QAnon conspiracies, which this blonde woman like this, they are abundant. She is not an outlier of MAGA women supporters. MAGA women, I know a ton of them that are all big on this pro-life bullshit. And we're QAnon conspiracy theorists. And guess what now? They don't give a shit about it. They don't care about the Epstein files anymore because their man's in it. She is accused of leads in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running the child sex rings and eating people. Of course, now she is now advocating for the cover-up of Donald Trump being credibly accused by a 13-year-old girl of sexual assault. That's how far her family values go, Josh. What a little peach she is. Just about what you'd expect from Trump. And Pumps said this, when when Trump hires someone like this and they're a loyalist, what that really means is he knows that she'll get up there and say any goddamn thing that she has to say for the Trump administration that she's taken an oath to lie. She's taken an oath to get in the gutter and get dirty. And that's and you listen to her speak. And I'm not sure that any I couldn't even tell exactly what she was saying, but it wasn't very logical. It didn't seem like any of it made sense. But that's what they do. There's this disinformation campaign of just lying and lying and lying and it's no surprise that she looks like she does. Of course, that's on par for Donald Trump. You want someone who he thinks is good looking in kind of a male misogynistic way. And she's incompetent. She's stupid. And that's what we get. And she's lying. And she's there for that very reason. She's taken a loyalty oath to lie for the administration and commit any damn crime that you want me to commit on behalf of MAGA. I'm willing to do. I sign up. I'm here. Here I am. Let's go. All right. And now Trump's DOJ has some new attacks on the press pop this up. CNN is reporting the Justice Department is investigating the five major US news networks for possible anti-trust violations, opening yet another front in the Trump administration's pressure campaign against the press. This is fascistic. This is exactly out of play out of the authoritarian playbook. These networks, these universities, these law firms that capitulated to him in early days of his presidency. And before he was sworn in for the second term have enabled this. It's fascinating to me that so many of these news companies that paid a settlement to him initially. They are actively engaging in the dismantling of the trajectory of their business. Because he will tear it all down. He wants a propaganda news network out of every single one. And here's the thing about Donald Trump. We could, and every corporate media could, we could sit on here and go, Donald Trump is incredible. He is so smart. He is an incredible golfer Nobel Peace Prize. He should have won the last, he should have swept the last decade. And we could say this with sincerity past a polygraph while we say it. This man is still broken. And he has surrounded himself by people that are even more broken. Because imagine, at least Donald Trump is, he has that self-preservation and the narcissism. Imagine not having any sense of self-preservation yourself. And giving it all, throwing everything for you to him. And that's who he is surrounded by, Angie. You know, I was, this didn't strike me as a stunning, but the more I thought about it, I thought, okay, so you have a man in the White House that is so fragile. He wants to be on the press. He wants to say the press can't come in because they're not nice to me. They don't talk about how great I am all the time. So he bans them. Then they pull together and say, we're not going to cover this, which is exactly what he asked for. And then he gets mad and sicks the DOJ. So obviously, weaponization. But another thing, I just, what I was reading about this, this was like, oh, okay, so the DOJ also wants to use this kind of investigation to get into the internal documents and communications between these news organizations. So basically, they want privileged information. And they want to use the Justice Department to get it. And this is just another example of how far this Justice Department has fallen and how they are, in fact, as Todd Blanche said at a congressional hearing, his personal attorney. Yeah. And they want the information of internal documents in news networks because they want to do reputational brand damage to the press. He's been doing that from the very beginning since 2016 when he would say, you know, fake news, fake news. And he is putting every day, he puts people that work in media. He puts their lives at risk. And he wants to go inside, get this information and do bring. It's not enough that all of these billionaires have bought up everything. And they are wanting to completely restructure the United States of America as we know it. And Josh, there's a little update in the Kimberly Gilfoil saga pop this up. At Davos this January, Kimberly Gilfoil was flexing her connections to Greek tycoons as she made an urgent request. She was being blocked from attending an upcoming dinner being held for Eric Trump. And she wanted to enlist an American businessman who was on the guest list to help get her in the door. I'm going to make you a lot of fucking money, she told him, according to a recording reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. And my take on this is I'm just not even remotely surprised. By any of this, I barely even think it is newsworthy because I think every single person in the mega orbit is exactly like this. I don't even think it's juicy, Josh. Yeah, I mean, this is consistent with everything else we've talked about. They're all grifters. Everybody is grifting. I mean, this is the same woman last week that we talked about. ask a donor to send a hundred thousand dollars and wire it straight to her Mx for her payment that she had to have made before she had a congressional hearing. I mean, just you can't make this shit up and of course she's trying to sell access and influence to anybody and everybody that's there and everybody's just allowing this stuff to happen as if it's normal. I mean, we read these stories now and like you said Jennifer, you're not even surprised. - That of us are. Day in and day out, the grifting that takes place, the selling of access, all of this stuff that used to be illegal now is just accepted. And the problem is is that we don't have a department of justice, everything that she's doing is illegal, everything that she's doing, warrants and investigation. But the power that Trump has with this department of justice and law enforcement with FBI and Homeland Security and ICE is unparalleled. The way that he uses these agencies, it's unparalleled and that's why his power, that's why you see so many flexes on his part is because he doesn't have to worry about the consequences, he runs DOJ. They work for him at his direction. And if you know that's the only law enforcement agency that can indict you or charge you or investigate you and you control them, that gives you free reign to go on a crime spree, day in and day out. And every one of those son of a bitch just know that Kimberly Goulfield, she knows it, everybody knows it. - I could just add one thing, I'm with you guys. This was, of course she, I mean, she's been in this orbit of course she's doing this. What I found the most interesting in this story was that it is being reported that Marco Rubio is the one that is matter than a hornet because she's selling influence. She is accepting improper gifts and services. She is threatening people, threatening officials in her house country. I'm like, how do you see so clearly what's going on with Kimberly Goulfield? But compared to what Donald Trump is doing both internationally and in the United States, this is child's play. What Kimberly Goulfield's doing, but you don't see that, but you can see it in Kimberly Goulfield. That's what I thought was interesting about this story. - Say that name three times in a row, Poms. I can't say it one. - I can barely say it once, they're not. - Yeah, and here's, I don't even trust the reporting that Marco Rubio is upset by this. That's just where I am with this. I just, I don't trust so much of what they put out. It's just, I think he might put something out 'cause he's jogging here and then Vance puts out something. They, none of these people have any credibility. And here is Kevin LeCourt on Twitter, pop this up. I ran FoxNews.com for a decade and this pains me to write. Kimberly Goulfield, former Fox employee and as of today, Ambassador to Greece is in the midst of a serious scandal. If true, she faces not only the likelihood of removal, something she herself acknowledged, but also the distinct possibility of prison, we know none of this is ever gonna happen. Fox has zero reporting online about this. I am not surprised that Kimberly Goulfield is doing this. I am not surprised that nobody in the mega regime cares and the least surprise that I am of everything is that FoxNews has chosen not to cover this. That is the part that is the most least surprising to me. So again, we are covering this stuff just to illustrate how deep the criminality goes, that this is a system of degenerate criminals. The, from Donald Trump, when you elect a convicted felon that tried to overthrow the United States free and fair election that wanted to hang his vice president, that criminality trickles down to this Bimbo, Kimberly Goulfield, who was trying to hustle to have her AMX paid and is doing all this shake down stuff, which is no different than Bimbo, Jared Kushner, in Bimbo, Whitcoff. All of these people are the exact same. That's all we have, please like and subscribe and we will be back later with more news. (upbeat music)
