Maga is only good at two things, killing people and wasting money.

So as you can imagine, since these are the only two things that this regime is good at, they're having a hard time making their pitch to Americans as to why anybody would go out and vote for them. And here we have J.D. Vance making his pitch for the midterms. Let's listen to what the smoky-eyed sociopath has to say. Play the clip. Give us another chance or give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things that we've doing for the people? Give us two more years. I mean, are you kidding? They're not. They're dead serious. And also, J.D., the eyeliner looked a little heavy there. But then we have Raphael Cruz,

you know, Ted, and he's continuing to make the case for MAGA at the midterms as well. Play that clip. That's have handed their party over to the crazy. I mean, we see the rise of the Marxist and the Islamists who are doing massive damage. And if the Democrats take the House, or God forbid the House and the Senate, they will spend two years waging war on President Trump. Well, yes, yes, Ted, we will spend two years investigating Donald Trump. And hell, just for kicks, we might throw your purple ass in there as well, which why on earth are you wearing a purple suit and a purple tie?

You look like a washed up two-bed evangelical pastor that is always kissing the ass of rich people. So in my opinion, these two cases, these two pitches, here by the smoky-eyed sociopath who will not defend his wife of color and his mixed-race children. And then we go to Raphael who will not defend his wife, who the president of the United States said was ugly. Why would we listen to them? Why would we listen to these people? But actually, the arguments they're making make me want to vote that much more. So, here's why Republicans aren't talking about policy. Pop this up. New reporting reveals that

Doge paid federal employees a total of $9,500 million not to work in 2025. Quote, deferred resignation, cost shot up 435% in the second Trump administration. This party wants to tell you, We are fiscally responsible. We're going to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. They send in a drug addict dipshit who thinks he's smart, who thinks he knows everything, that had to pay the president $300 million to try to ensure that he won. Because in his words, if Kamala wins, I'm probably going to prison. That's what, Jay, that's what Elon Musk said.

And all of this waste, all of this $9 billion, $500 million for Elon Musk to go in and shut down investigations into himself is before. we even get to the part that he cut programs that are now killing people. So how did I start this episode, listener? I started it with Maga is good at two things, wasting money and killing people. And here's another example of just waste, waste, waste. Pop this up. Here's a little Moses, Mike. GOP leaders are sending the house home early, staving off an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Hexeth over the Iran war. Speaker Johnson says, sending house home early because of Pete Hegeseth. What did he do? What did Pete Hexed do? Oh, yeah, he killed people. He killed people off the coast of Venezuela. He's killing people in Iran. He triple-tapped

a school. He shot bridges. I think they shot down a wedding because Republican policies waste money and kill people. Yet they want to lecture us that they're so good with national security. They're so fiscally responsible. I'm a businessman. So I've got to vote my wallet. No, you're voting for a party of dipshits that doesn't know how to manage money that also likes to kill people as a side hustle. And then when we think about in totality, and it's difficult, but if we widen back at what is going on in our federal government, it's breathtaking how incompetent they all are. And here we have Columbia University professor Jeff Sacks analyzing Trump's cabinet. play the clip. I think we should understand. We have a cabinet of 35 people. Not one of them is

trained in technical skills. Not one. There's one bachelor's degree, one bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, no other training at all on technical issues, and not one single, research PhD degree in the cabinet, as opposed to China, where it's half the cabinet basically is science and technology and research PhDs. In other words, we're led by grifters and fools. Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life? You know the same way you can skip an ad. I get it. I'm Siaia and I live in I've made some questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned. And today, I'm still figuring it out. Somehow, things usually get worse before they get better. Apparently,

that's how I roll. So bundle up and come along for the bumpy ride. Stream a new episode of North of North Tuesdays on CBC Gem. And you need to think about, I think this is such an important analysis here, because when you think about the people governing the United States of America, I think about it like this. When you're watching some spy movie or you're watching some movie about a war and the Americans come in, you think, oh, yeah, we've got really smart people in really high positions of power. And they know what they're doing and they're keeping us safe. That's gone. That's completely gone.

We have Cash Patel who's allowing people that engage in bestiality to be FBI agents. We have some gal named Paula White that talks in tongues at the White House. We have the speaker of the house. Moses Mike Grindr Johnson, who says God wakes him up in the middle of the night, tells him he's Moses, marries his daughter to keep her virginity safe and the purity ball weirdness, and then monitors his son's porn. That's before I even get to Pete Heggseth and all of the other morons. And that's something that Maga has to answer for. Why do you want the dumbest people in charge of this country?

And yet you call yourself a patriot. it's inherently not patriotic to put dipshits in charge of you. Some people could call that a suicide mission. I believe former ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, calls it the suicide of a superpower. And MAGA is even starting to lose. Miss Pris Waters. Play the clip. Lose.

Jesse. So what did he say that was bad? He said, free Palestine? Is that all? You went on on. No. Okay. Genocide.

Okay. Okay. Well, all I heard was free Palestine. I don't think that's hate speech. So this is the Ed Sharon McElmore thing that's popped up. And what's so interesting about this is you, of course, you know Stephen Miller. And of course, you know Benjamin Netanyahu. And of course, you know Jonathan Greenblatt at the ADL, want to be the speech police.

They want to censor everybody's speech. And they also want to be the thought police. They want to tell you what you can think and what you cannot think and what you can say and what you can not say. and what you cannot say. So McLemore said free Palestine on the stage at a concert. Robert Kraft, who likes to go to the rug and tug massage parlors, got really offended by the Free Palestine thing, and they shut down McLemore.

Ed Shearren threw McLemore under the bus. It's a big shit show, of course. But why are billionaires telling American artists what they can and cannot say? That's the thing about free speech. It might hurt your feelings. You might not like it. But go listen to what McLemore said in its entirety. There's nothing remotely offensive about it.

And if you're triggered by it, I think probably you know deep down that the stuff he's saying is true. And it reveals something that you're covering for, some crime that you're making a permission structure in your body to pretend that that's not what's going on here. And 20 years from now, McLemore's speech is going to stay in the test of time. Robert Kraft will be an ass-kissing, democracy-hating billionaire that went to Asian massage parlors and got happy-ending massages. And I don't really care that he does that. That's his business. I don't give a shit about that. But remember, all of this stuff is done under the umbrella of the Family Values Party. And so it's just hypocrisy on top of hypocrisy. But on top of what Professor Jeff Sachs says about how how idiotic and what grifters and fools the cabinet is. These people don't believe in anything.

They don't share the same connectedness that connect us all. And here's something that popped up on my social media feed today. And it is Barack Obama who did a collaboration post with Michelle about their dog passing. Pop this up. President Obama posts, yesterday we lost a cherished member of our family. we got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us, including our first dog, Bo, immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her for Sunny was a force of nature, athletic and full of boundless energy. She leapt over the hedges at the South Lawn, et cetera.

He goes on to talk about how great she was with his girls. And he says, we will miss her terribly. And imagine she's with her big brother now making sure he's okay. And this is something that really is the bipartisan connectedness. I didn't really like George W. Bush at all. But when I see him like painting immigrants and I see him enjoying stuff outside of like capitalism, me, me, me, I've got to buy this and consume and consume.

I was like, oh, he's painting pictures of immigrants. Interesting. When you see that the Obamas are grieving their dog, it's like that's a universally relatable experience. It's horrible losing a pet. It's horrible. You sit and crying, you think, God, it's just a dog. Then you just keep crying.

They're not there anymore. and you hear their pitter-patter chasing you. Maga doesn't have these connective tissue things that reach all members in their community. President Trump, I've never heard him say anything about an animal or liking an animal. It's been rumored that when he was a child, he was cruel to animals,

or maybe that was barren. I can't remember, but I read that somewhere. And all of these billionaires, there's nothing that they say or do that's like inspirational or relatable at all. And Elon Musk went on to Twitter and somebody called him, went on to Twitter. He's on Twitter right now,

so as I'm giving this broadcast. But somebody basically said, you didn't make anything. You know, you acted like Tesla, you did. And he responds like to that person. You're a taker,

not a maker. Like I'm a big maker. And writer Joyce Carol Oates, I think has some of the best analysis about this billionaire class and a specific billionaire Elon Musk that I think also umbrellas over the entire fascist regime and all of its collaborators. Pop this up. So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates. Scenes from nature, a pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book, she says, but doubt.

he reads. Pride in a friends or relatives accomplishment. Condolences for someone who has died. Pleasure in sports. Acclaim for a favorite team. References to history. In fact, he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty and meaning in life than the most wealthy person in the world. And I just think that that is that summarizes the MAGA movement entirely. We are governed by people that don't take the free things in life and realize that those are the most valuable. They find no value in the things that all of us cherish the most. They find value in seeing themselves as being super rich or super superior or tougher than somebody else or the ability to punish or heckle people and troll people

on the internet. She's so right. If you ever heard Donald Trump talk about any of these things? Have you ever heard Elon Maize, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg? No, they're all in a state of psychosis. but we have to turn to our bigger instincts and come out because J.D. Vance and Raphael, fat-ass Ted Cruz are 100% correct. We will investigate everything that this man has done because we care about our shared sense of humanity. I care deeply about this country. Despite all of the, oh, the Lib Tards hate America. No, you're the ones that hate America. if you loved America, you'd put smart people in charge of stuff. You'd put experts in charge of stuff. But instead, you want to rig the system for your mediocre average ass that can't even find the beauty in loving a dog.

But there is a tinge of hope. A tinge. Yesterday, much to my surprise, I saw Senator John Kennedy just put Cash Patel through the ringer about Cash Patel's preferred desire to have people who engage in beastiality involved in being FBI agents. And that was a bridge too far for Senator John Kennedy. Much to my surprise when I was kind of looking over this beautiful post from Barack Obama about their dog, and I'm a huge dog person. And I feel like I just, I remember when they got those dogs and these dogs were running around the White House. Well, John Kennedy must have too, because then he posted this to Barack Hussein,

Obama, pop this up. Mr. President, I am so sorry to hear about Sunny, John Kennedy. So in conclusion, you guys, we are seeing fissures. We are seeing a little bit of people jumping off. Of course, Raphael is going to go down with the ship as they rearrange the chairs on the Titanic with little grinder and with the little smoky-eyed sociopath. But some people are starting to look beyond this and starting to call out this insanity. And I bet. that John Kennedy hopes that there is a blue wave. I bet some of these people, they don't have the strength to do it. And John Kennedy's a pussy. He's never really stood up to Trump before, so I'm not giving him that big of a halt pass. I don't want y'all to think I've gone soft.

But we will save us. We, the people who enjoy the things in life that are free, the connectedness that we share together, the things that money can't buy us, that Elon must never participates in. Donald Trump never participates in those things. But we do and we are a country of ideas and a country of diversity and a country of people who have always fought for social justice. We've not been perfect in it. We've not been tough enough. But this is our moment to go out in those midterms. And they, Cash Patel has made it clear. Little Mark Wayne Mullen has made it clear that they are going to do everything in their power to intimidate us at the the polls, but we mustn't be scared of the people who are the biggest chicken shit cowards in the

United States government right now. Because if your ideas are so great, run on them, run on them, and you'd win, but you know they're not. All right, do me a favor and pre-order my book.
