All right. The federal government is basically being run like this. Who can we shake down? And as soon as we shake them down, how can we humiliate them and make them come bend the knee to this demented grandma that needs to be in a nursing home? That's basically what's happening. I can't believe I'm even saying that. So everything that Trump does is a shakedown because he wants people to kiss his ass. And the crime and the double dealing and the ethical violations of everything that he does are multiple per day. Multiple per day. And here's a video right here of Trump talking about killing a transportation project in New York because he doesn't like Chuck Schumer. Play the clip. A lot of people paid, actually. We have the people that we want paid, okay. And we want the FBI paid. We want the military paid. We got the people that we want paid. And I'll tell you, the Democrats they don't talk about this you know we're getting rid of programs that we didn't like but that were negotiated in but we didn't like we're terminating those

programs and they're going to be terminated on a permanent basis and it's thousands of people and it's it's you know billions of dollars we're getting rid of a lot of things that we never wanted because of the fact that they made this stupid move and they don't want to talk about it you know they have their day coming up I hear very few people going to be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up, and they want to have their day in the sun. But they should really make a deal. So what we're doing, I mean, they call him Darth Vader, but he's actually a very nice person, Russell vote. But Russell vote is really terminating tremendous numbers of Democrat projects. This is not only jobs. I mean, the project in Manhattan,

the project in New York, it's billions and billions of dollars. Schumer has worked 20 years to get. It's terminated. Tell them it's terminated, Jennifer. What's fucking asshole. Jennifer. So first and foremost, the reason that there's two reasons they don't want the federal government reopened. Number one, the Epstein files, because the fissures and the MAGA movement are big and deep. And when you get off of mainstream news, you see when you get into these podcasts, that the bro podcasters are starting to see a post-Trump America. Furthermore, in order for a strong man to stay intact, he has to emit strength. Nothing about what he's doing is emitting strength.

He looks like he is cornered, and so I'm going to start taking toys away from people. The problem with this is, is this is a very short-sighted play because the economic ruin from doing things like this will be cascading. It will be deep and it will be completely damaging. Russell Vote is what everybody, what we were podcasting about before the election, during the election, that Project 2025 is going to come in and dismantle the federal government. Trump's taking the mask off and he's saying, yep, that's what we're doing. Russell Vote, Project 2025. We're going to rip up the federal government because they don't ever want to leave.

When biology catches up with tanks, they want to pass it on to JD. advance or whoever else is around. That is their intention. I completely agree. And here's the thing. Trump has been told by court after court in all kinds of different government programming and spending bills, you have to send money to both blue and red states. And he just does it out loud. I'm not going to send money to blue cities and blue states because they didn't vote for me. He doesn't even try to hide it. He doesn't try to give a valid excuse. He is such a corrupt criminal and he does not give a shit about the rule of law. It is absolutely stunning how much joy he takes in hurting Americans.

Yeah, nobody shit talks, the United States or Americans like Donald Trump does. I've never seen anything like this. And there's been some really gross Tea Party Republicans that have said some very disparaging things about Democrats, but this completely takes the cake. All right, Democrats, this is a message that you need to start pounding immediately. The Trump administration wants to bail out Argentina, which we've covered, to the tune of $20 billion, should Malay win. Now he's doubled that to $40 million.

So as your rural hospitals close, as your 401k starts crashing because there are no courts to go and force your contract, just know that the shakedown that is happening right now, They're going to spend $40 billion. And it's not going to be the one percenters that paid this $40 billion. It's going to be working class Americans that paid this $40 billion to Argentina. And guess what Argentina has? Argentina has universal health care. So when you're facing tripled and quadruple premiums, and when you're facing the fact that

you can't go to your rural hospital anymore and you have to drive to one of these quote unquote dangerous blue cities, which happened to be donor cities, which happened to be the economic hubs of the United States of America. Just know that your money by this administration, by these tax breaks for the 1%, your money will be paying for Argentinians. Now, I want to say, I support all people globally having health care. But America cannot be the people that foot the bill to this, especially to a dangerous muscanomics nut who throws concerts in a spare time, Malay, in Argentina. This is not an America first policy. This is a realignment with Trump wanting to align with other corrupt leaders around the world,

breaking up all of our allieships globally. Yeah, it's just unbelievable that he says out loud, if Malay doesn't win, I'm not sending the money because he wants to back the billionaires that backed Malay. He doesn't give a shit about the Argentinian people anymore than he gives us shit about the American people. But he wants his buddies, everybody with billions and billions of dollars. He wants to make them whole. All right. And the next step, it's the grifting from the Trump family. If you can think for just a brief of a moment, how upset MAGA was that Hunter Biden was an artist and sold art. If you can imagine for a moment if Michelle Obama or Malia and Sasha Obama and

Barack. If Barack Obama had sneakers and watches, you can imagine all of the racist tropes that would be spewed at them. But again, Trump is able to do all of this grifting, violating all sorts of laws that the president shouldn't be conducting this type of stuff. And the Christmas grift is alive and well. Put up the post. We have the Donald Trump elf. The Trump elf, your Christmas companion. place this Trump elf throughout your house limited run for the 2025 holiday season. This is just, this is where I just go, what country are we living in? I mean, what, and here's the thing. I know that there's a lot of rural cultists that have probably already ordered this.

And those are the people that these policies are going to wreck the most. Absolutely. And here's the thing. The Trump saying, oh, it's a limited time. It's only for this season. I'm like horseshit. They'll sell those deals into infinity to get rid of them. But here's the thing.

It goes back to Trump's restoring the war on Christmas. Christmas is about Jesus. Really? Because Trump thinks it's about him with this stupid fucking grifting an elf on the shelf. Like I thought Trumpy trouts were bad. The fucking Trumpy elf gag. And you know, Melania has a. Christmas ornament, too.

I mean, none of this surprises me, and he's going to continue to have his online flea market full of riffraps and knick-knacks. And a lot of this is just a distraction and a way to grift and a way to keep feeding the cult propaganda. This is propaganda capitalism is what this is. Next up, we have Trump openly taking bribes for his new ballroom. Now, I want to really paint the picture here while last night, Bernie and AOC did. at a town hall and they took calls from everybody in the audience and all over the United States,

TSA workers, pilots, air traffic controllers, people that work for the federal government that live paycheck to paycheck. And they are seriously consumed with how am I going to feed my family? How are we going to pay our mortgage? This is going to wreck my credit report. These are real issues. So while this is going on, the split screen. last night was this man sitting in the White House with his very wealthy donors that will never

be affected by any of this. And he is talking about his architecture and interior design projects because I believe that the nefarious forces behind this Trojan horse candidacy keep him busy while Russell vote and Stephen Miller unleash mayhem and collusion. collude with the Supreme Court to consolidate power with the executive. Not just this executive, but executives beyond because they want a white Christian nationalist nation. Play the clip. In keeping and we'll be able to have state dinners, the kind of, we would literally not even have state dinners because it's not set up. But for all those years, they wanted it and now

they're going to get it. And because of you, they're going to get it. And me too, we're all in this together. And I mean, I have so many friends and so many of you have been really, really generous. I mean, a couple of you I'm sitting here saying, sir, would $25 million be appropriate? They said, I'll take it. You know, it doesn't take too many 25s to get it done. But. Okay. The split screen of this, you guys, I watched the Bernie AOC Town Hall. And there is, you know, real suffering. There is a real wealth disparity. And Bernie, Sanders' message has aged very well. He's been saying the same thing for decades.

Capitalism is not going to be sustainable at this rate. The economy is not going to be sustainable. The health care system is not going to be sustainable. We cannot keep transferring wealth to the top 1% and not giving a raise to the working class. He's been saying it over and over and over and over again for decades. This message, this trickle-down Reagan economic step, is what what left the vacuum for fascism to flourish. And Trump's love language is, if you can give me a lot of money, then I own you and we can do business relationships. He doesn't care about the American

people. He doesn't care about this country. He cares about his ego. He is a sadist. He likes to participate in humiliation exercises as a part of his strong-arm regime. The messaging from Democrats today, and Bernie and AOC crushed it last night, but the messaging from Democrats today needs to be as follows. While you are worried about taking your flight because you don't know if there's going to be air traffic controllers, TSA people, for those of you that work for the federal government, you don't know if you're going to get paid. Trump is having his wealthy millionaire and billionaire donors at the White House. He's also going to send 40 billion taxpayer, U.S. hardworking labor taxpayer money to Argentina. Oh, and FYI, Biden could have solved the Gaza Israel War a year ago,

and there would have been a lot less death and a lot less American taxpayer money going to fund it, a country who receives health care. And guess what? Nobody in Israel has higher education, student loan debts so at some point something's got to give here and I'm hopeful that this protest sends a message to the people who haven't capitulated yet and they organize and get together because we are at the precipice where these fuckers are about to take it all every ounce of it the economy will go the universities will go this will be a disaster This country will be a disaster. What Trump talks about, what he projects is what he's doing.

His autopsy of what he thinks America is now is his projection of what his plans are for what his intentions are to do to the country. And I believe pumps that when we look at the project 2025 tracker, they're over 50% complete. Yeah, they are. They're over 50% complete. And that is for one person to be in power because dumb people and sick people don't matter. And I think it's also important to remind everybody, Trump is not a good businessman. He has never run anything that has been successful. He cannot successfully do anything except con people on TV and they believe it.

In the United States of America is going like his casino and his businesses, it's fraud, it's corrupt, and it's running on fumes. And that's how he runs shit. Everything Trump touches turns to dog shit. It absolutely does. And then here's our final post. Unearthed invitation shows Trump will host a lavish $1 million per person fundraiser at Marlago this Friday. During the government shutdown, inflation, he says it's handled gases, $2 a gallon.

All of that is a lie. This is who this government is for. Those people that can spend $1 million for a plate to listen to a rampant. Dementia-ridden person shows you how broken this country is and how broken excess wealth makes people to think that you would spend a million dollars to go listen to that I would think these people needed to be paid that in order to listen to this torture experiment that is this horrific man that people think cares about them and he doesn't. He doesn't care. He and his sons and his administration are robbing the piggy bank.

They are hustling and shaking everyone down for this man's ego. And don't worry because when biology happens to him, they are playing the long-term game here. So everybody go out on this Saturday for the No Kings March. If you're unable to make it out, make sure you're online interacting with all of these posts so that we can really show the world and all of these Americans that are black and brown, that are immigrants, that are LGBTQ plus, that are poor, that they know people care about them, that they know people give a damn about them because people are hurting right now, really hurting and they wake up terrified as to what this government is going to do. Donald Trump and all the people in his cabinet have never been vulnerable a day in their lives.

Moses, Mike Johnson is supposed to fight for the vulnerable. Instead, he persecutes the vulnerable in the name of Jesus Christ. This is very dangerous, dangerous times. And I know that all of us wake up and vacillate from feeling overwhelmed and not wanting to read the news to, oh, my God, what are they doing now? But we have to band together. And this is the fight of our lives right now. And our country's done this before in the 60s with the civil rights movement and

desegregation. And we have to fight this. And we have to get industry titans on our page and send a signal. If you go down this way, we will boycott your companies. We will not do business with you because at the end of the day, there are 300 million of us, 340 million of us. That 1% is not that many. All right. Make sure you like and subscribe. And we'll see you all later. Thank you.
