The frail little dictator, Kanks, has capitulated. And overnight, he went to lie social to announce to everyone that now he's demanding that the Republicans vote to release the Epstein file, still claiming that they are a hoax. Here is some analysis from Amy Siskin. Please pop this up. They've got him by the short hairs. Trump has capitulated. Apparently, House Republicans have enough votes to override his vote.

veto. So now Trump is trying to save face by calling for the release of the Epstein files. Yes, much if not about him will be redacted. But strong journalists who have been following this will be able to glue things together. His grip on power keeps loosening the mask is coming off. All right. A couple of things here. Number one, he did order the Pam Bondi to reopen the investigation. So he's definitely going to be playing some sort of game that I can't help it. Pan Bondi reopened the investigation, so they just released what they can. But the most important message to this is this guy is frail and he is shedding Republican support. They all see that their vote here is going to far outlive this frail, barely held together dictator.

And so how did we get to this point? So last week, Hellfire is raining down on him regarding the Epstein file. as Epstein's estate drops all of these tidbits, right? So imagine if Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or if Kamala Harris had been president, if the White House in the throes of this massive, massive scandal, you could walk by and hear this blaring from it. Kylie, play the clip. this queen has phantom of the opera blaring at the white house all right this is a madman this is a

crazy madman that is written about in movies and in literature and he just does all of this crazy shit blaring music on his patio probably back there you know hanging out with his friends bobbing around like a little bobber and everybody's like oh hey boss you're doing great blah, blah. Well, all of these things that trickle out, you guys, are incredibly damning. One of them is that Epstein texts with Bannon about Epstein right before his arrest. Pop this up. Two weeks before he's arrested, Epstein texts Steve Bannon. And here's what he texted to him. Now you can understand why Trump wakes up in the middle of the night sweating when he hears you and I are friends.

So he's not only waking up in the middle of night's sweating. You guys, in the middle of the day, he's just blaring music. This presidency is completely falling apart. He is at the epicenter of a huge pedophile ring that involves not only abuse slash rape of underage girls, but it also involves a photograph of kinks giving somebody named a blowjob, and the additive details to that are that Vladimir Putin has a photograph of this. So it's not only that this man is a complete sexual deviant, but he also likes to give blow jobs, I guess, as a side hustle.

And again, you may remember Ken Starr, the family values Republicans, all losing their minds, Newt Gingrich over Bill Clinton. And it was, you know, that was terrible. He's the President of the United States. Monica Lewinsky was 18 years old. They impeached him for it. Kanks has given a blowjob to somebody named Bubba, and we're just barely even talking about it.

All right, rolling along. Before he capitulated, this is what he was like last night, a couple of hours before he sent out the lie social that, okay, I give everybody vote to release the files. Here is Kanks. Cranky A.F. on the tarmac. Play the clip. One second. Will you let me finish my say? You are the worst. You're with Bloomberg, right? You are the

worst. I don't know why they even have you. Okay. So there he is. Somebody asks him a question that requires accountability and he thinks he's better. He thinks the rules don't apply to him. And society and the media and the country and the billionaires and the universities and the law firms have all told him. The rules that everybody else has to live by don't apply to you. So he acts like a petulant little toddler, incredibly unpresidential, but everybody's so used to that by now. Here's another hissy fit on the tarmac. They would like to talk. Mr. President, Representative Matthew says he's concerned that the Epstein probe you were calling for could be a smoke screen to lock early to more body.

Well, I don't want to talk about it because fake news like you, you're a terrible reporter, and fake news like you, they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration. So a guy like Massey, his poll numbers are showing, he's at 6% approval rating right now. And we call him Rand Paul Jr., because he never votes for the Republican Party. So they're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success. that we're having as a party. Using Jeffrey Epstein, this is the guy who right after he won and got to the White

House within a week, I think, they invite all of these paid MAGA influencers to the White House and give them binders. And they say, here are the Epstein files. We're already proactively releasing them. It was all bullshit. It was all a ruse. And at the epicenter of Trump support is the hardcore cult, which are these QAnonon, people that got wrapped up into this Epstein stuff and it saved the children and all of these

things. Well, this became a lot of people's identities. And the fissures that are now forming into cracks in this movement because this guy is point person. You've got Jeffrey Epstein. Then the second person mentioned the most out of all of the files is this guy, kinks. The demented, frail, dementia-ridden president of the United States. Kangles make taco tits. The most embarrassing human being on the planet is right in the center. So the cult is completely falling apart. And politicians are starting to see biology is catching up with this guy very quickly.

Do you want on your record forever that you voted to protect elite, wealthy pedophiles or that you stood up against it and this guy's quacking like a duck we can all see that he is you know bruises on the hands the cancles brags about identifying an elephant on a dementia test gets an MRI somebody asked him on air force one yesterday did was MRI did they uh do an MRI of your brain and he goes i don't even really know so that's how bad the dementia is that since he had the MRI He doesn't remember which body part the MRI was for. Moving along, this is where this is getting really, really interesting for the MAGA base. They ask Canks about Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes.

And you may remember, we covered this, that this caused a lot of disruption in the MAGA base because far-right Israel supporters have all gone to seek refuge in the party that has a tent big enough for a anti-Semites. And so here he is questions about this on the tarmac. Play the clip. Mr. President, Tucker Carlson recently had a front link interview with anti-Semite Nick Fuentes. What role do you think Tucker Carlson could play in the Republican Party, the conservative moving forward? Well, I found him to be good. He said good things about me over the years. I think he's good. We've had some good interviews. I did an interview with him. We were at 300 million hits. you know that look I can't tell him will you let me finish my face you are the worst you

with Bloomberg right you are the worst I don't know why they even have you we've had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson but you can't tell him who to interview I mean if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes I don't know much about him but if he wants to do it get the word out Let them, you know, people have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide. The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us and we'll work something out. But he would like to come to Washington and meet and we'll work something out. We want to see everything work out well for New York.

Okay. Imagine for a second, you guys, if Zoran Mamdani said, I don't know much about Nick Fuentes. Imagine what Greenberg of the ADL would do, who started a mom-dani. monitor. The way that MAGA is able to be openly comforting to anti-Semites in a way that the ADL looks the other way and makes excuses for Elon Musk and for proud boys and for Trump's support of pardoning a man that wore a shirt that said Camp Auschwitz at January 6th. And that just all gets swept on the rug. When Zoran Mamdani has outwardly said, I believe in universal human rights. I want to address rising anti-Semitism. I want to address anti-immigration bigotry. I want to address

rising Islamophobia. I want to address rising homophobia. I want to address rising transphobia. I want to address rising sexism. I want to address rising misogyny. He says he wants to address all of these things because he links them all together because they all are interconnected. And so then you get these crazy media conglomerates that are forming under this president because all they have to do is make him a trophy or agree to do business with him or his son's dumb and dumber. And then they can have whatever they want from this guy. It is, everything is a shakedown. So Dave Portnoy of Barstall Sports was granted a nine minute interview on CBS. CBS is now run by a Jewish lesbian woman named Bari Weiss, who for years spoke about

woke culture. And she uses her identity now to weaponize against others. And her number one issue that she thinks is the biggest issue on the planet right now is anti-Israel sentiments, which she wrongly connects to anti-Semitism. And those two things are completely different. I am very compassionate towards anybody who would fall prey to an anti-Semitic attack, verbal, physical, whatever that be. However, I'm very critical of the Israeli government. The same thing goes, I apply the logic. Like right now, I want people who believe in universal human rights that don't live in the United States of America to be as critical as fuck. about this administration.

This administration is fascist. They, the parallels with 1930s are off the chart. So here's Dave Portnoy on his, uh, interview with CBS. Play the clip. I mean, occasionally you get a, hey, or Jew or whatever, it's every day now. Like, there's a definitive shift in what's going on. So yes, now I, I, for me, being a Jewish person, like, you just, step up. You're kind of someone people look up to in the Jewish community. You have to be like, all right, this is this is not normal. Ha ha, ha, with the guys. People are coming up with real hate. How do you explain that line to people? It's a tough one. And sometimes they'd always don't get it. And just last week, a man was arrested for using an anti-Semitic slur at Portnoy.

While he was taping a video in Mississippi, the success of bar stool and yourself. is based on not being afraid to offend, right? Speech is speech, a joke is a joke. Do you see a connection between what you unleashed and what you now have to deal with? No, because I think Barstool and myself has always had a pretty good moral compass, so we've never stood for hate

or anything of that ilk. I mean, do I think that feminists should complain about a Diet Coke can being skinny? skinny and that somehow is like leading to a eating disorder by diet coke having a skinny can that i think's crazy and there are things that i think people get far too worked up like he she verbs like crazy to me making jokes that you are trying to hurt people's feelings and are based in hate that's never flown with us okay first of all he she or pronouns not verbs secondly This man called for saying that he hoped the flotilla that Greta Thurnberg was on, got hit by a missile.

This guy endorsed Donald Trump, who at the January 6th rally, people took Nazi flags into the capital. Nazi flags with swastikas on him. A man he pardoned had a shirt on that said Camp Auschwitz. We all know what Donald Trump said about the very fine people that said Jews cannot replace us. about Trump's coddling of the proud boys, you don't get to have it both ways. This is the fundamental problem with this argument from far-right pro-Israel people that are using anti-Semitism to erode the First Amendment. Listen, on universities, historically, since the beginning of universities, when people see injustice

and they see what's happening in Palestine, in Gaza, people speak out against that. happened to Vietnam, Iraq war. This is something that happens. Where I think we have to make sure Jewish kids are safe is a lot of Jewish people do not support the provocations of Israel and outright think it's damaging to the safety of Jews worldwide. So you had some incidents where some kids, Jewish kids were walking across campuses and were bullied. I'm not down with that. Zoran Mamdani's not down with that. But you know who is down with that? Trump? The people that all that Barry Weiss and Dave Portnoy, you cannot go and support this guy who has no problem making space for Nick Fuentes to come to dinner at Mar-Lago and then say he doesn't know anything about him. He

knows everything about him. He knows exactly what he is. And the Maga base is a big tent of bigots. and the far right Jewish groups that went there for safety are in the throes of the biggest fools errand because he's not going to keep you safe. You're not going to be special. At the end of the day, these guys are going to the people behind Canks, the Heritage Foundation, it's WASP all the way. It is white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. And if they're going to use you to bring you in to get elections, that's what they're going to do. And they're going to kick you to the curb. Bari Weish, you are not a magical special lesbian that at some point is going to be exempt. Just this year alone, there have been over 600 introductions of legislation that are anti-LGBQ plus.

This is insanity. Do not listen to the people that go and seek comfort in Donald Trump and his neo-Nazi movement that is treating immigrants the same way in the early days that Hitler and the Gestero. Stoppo treated Jewish people and gay people. Do not go seek refuge with those people. And you don't have the balls to stand up and say what this president is doing to the immigrant population where the majority that are in custody now have no criminal record. As a Jewish person, which I'm not, but I would think if I'm Dave Portnoy, I would say as a Jewish person, this is too reminiscent of history. And I'm not down with that. So you don't get to have it both ways.

Portnoy. You cannot go get all of the tax credits that you want with a bunch of racists and then expect them to protect you. All of this rise in anti-Semitism is coming from the right. He's normalized it. Since Charlottesville, he will continue to normalize it. And so this is utter insanity. And I just want to leave you all with this video because we have to walk and chew gum at all times. Canks, spiraling, the Republicans' base support is, you know, completely in shambles. His base, the cult, is completely in shambles. We have to cover that. But at the same time, our own party has some problems. And I'm talking about Chuckles. Chuckles has been an abject failure of the minority leader in the Senate. And here is Senator Chris Murphy on Chuckles. Play the

clip. We're taking a lot of heat for this. Do you still have confidence in him as the Democratic leader? And do you think he will still be the Democratic leader after the midterms? Well, we can't continue to operate like this in the Democratic Senate. This is not the first time that a small group of Democrats have crossed over to support Republican measures that give Donald Trump more power. So I've been candid with him and with my colleagues that Democrats are going to lose this democracy

if we continue to allow Republicans to cleave off 10 or 12 or 15 of us. So we've got some hard conversations as a caucus moving forward. We can't continue to be split like this or we won't save our democracy. So certainly when we return to Washington next week, Senator Schumer is going to have to explain to us how we're going to run the caucus differently, how we're going to be more united. So I completely agree with Chris Murphy here and I'm glad that they're starting to have the conversation. We are not going to be able to advance with any capitulation to this frail, demented madman. Jewish people are not going to be safe if they continue to go seek refuge with a man

who hosts Nazis in Mar-Lago or who hosted a Nazi, Elon Musk, in the White House higher than a kite on ketamine with a black eye. I think you'll all remember that when his son was rubbing his boogers all over the desk. So we have to do a lot of things at once. This whole idea that some of the establishment Democrats have that we just sit back and watch the show go, we can't do that anymore. We have to stay on offense completely pointing out the absolute hypocrisy and cherry-picking that Trump supporters like Dave Portnoy participate in, while at the same time calling out our own leaders in the Democratic Party that capitulate to this. a monster of an administration. All right, that's all we have. Pumps is on her way to New York

City. So tomorrow will be filming together. I'll be back later with a few more news drops today. Stuff is getting spicy. Make sure you subscribe and like this channel and we'll be back later.
