Why have we asked our contractor we found on Angie.com to be our kid's legal guardian? Because he took such good care when redoing our basement that we knew we could trust him to care for our kids. We only met a month ago, Angie, the one you trust to find the ones you trust. Find pros for all your home projects@angie.com.

As the nation has been watching the President of the United States pitch a temper tantrum because he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. He's mad at Norway, he's mad at the winner. He's mad at the Democrats, he's mad at Obama, mad at everybody. Because this man will never be filled up. He is incredibly broken and he is in the epicenter of the Epstein files. And so now what he's going to do is what all Republican presidents always do, take us to war in the Middle East. Pop up this headline bombshell report reveals Trump positioned for all out war with Iran by Saturday. Needless to say, I think the polling is 80% of Americans do not want to go to war with Iran. The only people who want this or Benjamin Netanyahu. Some tidbits online that I'm seeing, I don't know if this is substantiated, but the ayatollah, I think he said that he has video of Trump on the island. And then people have also said, okay, well, you know, Netanyahu has videos too, because Israel's all over the Epstein files. And so we have a completely compromised president who doesn't want the country to know about all of his doings on in the Epstein files. So we're going to go to war with Iran. It's just so maddening. It's so maddening.

It's so infuriating because I too have read that online on several different spots about compromising information that Iran's going to release. But my thing is when I look at this, I think Donald Trump, he's a titty baby about the Nobel Peace Prize. He has diminished capacity. He is in cognitive decline. He should not be in charge of a pet, much less starting a war. And then you have the Secretary of Defense who is almost, if not more, a bigger moron. So this is absolutely terrifying on every level because we have somebody in charge that doesn't know a thing about it, that's trying to cover their own ass and a Department of Defense secretary that is a complete dipshit.

And also we have a president and a Congress that always does what Benjamin Netanyahu wants first and then deals with America and Americans lack of health care, the grotesque national deficit, the injustices of the Epstein files. But we always tend to do whatever Benjamin Netanyahu wants us to do. And it's such a moral failure of both parties. And there is some rare bipartisanship consistently in the House. It is my opinion that Hakeem Jeffries needs to step down. He is compromised by Palantir, he's compromised by aipac. He's a feckless, ineffective minority leader. And Ro Khanna consistently is able to speak out for working class Americans and is even able to find bipartisanship support with Massie. And this is ultimately what Americans want, even. It's not like we want to wake up and just hate on Republicans. If Republicans and Democrats can do something together to prevent us from going to war, then we all obviously would want that. Pop this up, Kylie. Thomas Massie retweets Ro Khanna Rona says Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes in Iran. He can't without Congress at Representative Thomas Massie and I have war powers, have a war powers resolution to debate and vote on war before putting US Troops in harm's way. Thomas Massie retweets, it reiterates that you can't just go to war. You have to go to war with the approval from Congress. And so this is just yet another instance where you don't see Hakeem Jeffries leading and he should be leading. And why wouldn't Hakeem Jeffries be leading? Well, he just said a few days ago with Waja Ali, our friend, and Joy Reid, that he was going to continue to take AIPAC money. Well, who wants to bomb Iran more than anybody on the planet? Who's been lying about Iran having nuclear weapons since the 80s? One Benjamin Netanyahu. And he is able to link in to all of these American politicians, Republican and Democratic leadership, and this just every single time there's a Republican president, we are in these stupid wars in the Middle East.

A
No, you're right. I mean, it's, it's a stunning development, particularly when you see all of this stuff online about, you know, for years, just like you said, Benjamin Netanyahu has been, you know, nuclear weapons, all this stuff. And it wasn't too long ago, less than a year ago, that Trump was saying, oh, we got all the nuclear threats in Iran, so, you know, we're the big stick, so we don't have to do this. And so I just, I feel like you do. It's just a made up excuse to start a war.

And as we keep continuing into this Trump regime. One thing that it's really exposed is that the United States of America cannot afford billionaires. We simply cannot afford them. They can afford America because all of the rules, politicians, elections, Supreme Court, are rigged to benefit them. But the country itself cannot afford billionaires and the drain that they cause on the American taxpayer and how little they put in. And the Wall Street Journal, you guys, the liberal bastion, the Wall Street Journal, concludes the exact same thing. Pop up the headline, billionaires, low taxes are becoming a problem for the economy. Tax avoidance by the super wealthy is an economic issue as well as a political one. And this is very simple. We cannot afford billionaires. No country can afford to have a billionaire class that acts with impunity the way this billionaire class does. That gets all of these subsidies, that gets all of these government contracts. An example that I gave in an episode yesterday is Palantir. Palantir takes taxpayer money, pays zero in taxes, is run by a complete sociopath. The reason we have all of these massive, massive deficits is because Ronald Reagan and every other Republican after him have lied to you. The wealth never trickles down. Trickle down economics is a complete lie. The data is in decade over decade over decade. And here's how it goes, you guys. Republicans get elected to office. Republicans give rich people a tax break. Republicans start war. Republicans are able to invest in things like, oh, we need to invest in private prisons because we're going to fund dhs. We're all going to make a shit ton of money. You've got Trump's sons, dumb and dumber, doing all of this shady double dealings. The American people always get stuck with the bill and the deficit is at record highs. And if we tack on this war on top of the blank check that Benjamin Netanyahu already gets, on top of all of the subsidies that Elon Musk already gets and that Peter Thiel already gets and all of the booming private prison business. And I guarantee you, they're not paying taxes either. This is just simply not sustainable. We are in the late, late stages of the decline of this country. And I read that experts and scholars have pointed out that at the end of an empire, they start military aggressions. And so this is what a lot of scholars also call the autocratic backfire. We are seeing so much foreign policy from a guy who ran as an isolationist that it is just stunning. But here's the thing. Trump and all of his friends that own the military industrial complex will make a shit ton of money off of this, and it will be Put on working class Americans. And then the Republicans will tell the working class Americans, you're lazy, you're not worthy, you need to pay more in taxes. And meanwhile, these guys just fleece, fleece, fleece. But don't worry, they'll make sure you're mad at an immigrant and they'll make sure you're mad at a gay person and they'll make sure you're mad at the liberal white woman because all they know how to do is lie and scapegoat, rinse and repeat.

Yeah, I just think it's very ironic that the man that sits around and talks about how he's settled eight wars and he's, you know, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize and, you know, he doesn't give a. And another thing is, it doesn't surprise me that he's not going to send this to Congress. He's. He doesn't follow the rules, he doesn't follow the law, he doesn't give a shit. And the Supreme Court rubber stamped it. So any expectation that I would have that this would be a. Something that as a nation, it was decided by representation. I don't think it will be. I think he'll go in, do whatever the fuck he wants, and pick up pieces later.

He'll do whatever Benjamin Netanyahu wants him to do. And it's really important that we keep picking that up because it is insane how much power a war criminal has over the United States military. It is just no other country has been this compromised the way the United States of America is compromised by war criminal and genocide inflictor funded by American taxpayers. Benjamin Netanyahu moving along. One of the most devastating things that's happening in the United States, aside from having an absolute dipshit as a president, is the fact that all of these industry titans immediately obeyed in advance. If you think about what we teach people, what we teach our children, it is to have gratitude, to reap what you sow, to the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. So Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and Elon Musk, all of these people have greatly benefited from unregulated capitalism and from the American consumer. And we have created a climate so that they can ascend to being billionaires that now the country can't afford. You would think, like, as a mom, I would think that if my son had won capitalism, like, way to go, big guy, you won capitalism, here's what you need to do. Philanthropy. No, that's not what these guys do. They've exploited so much to become billionaires that they're broken. And so they are going to spend tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions in the upcoming midterms. Kylie, pop up the headline. Meta is about to start a $65 million midterms push. Its biggest political effort in its 20 years in business. Meta is standing up two super PACs that this week will drop money races in Texas and Illinois to push AI. And here is the biggest lie that MAGA has told you, that immigrants are taking your jobs. It's never been the immigrants. It's always going to be the billionaires and their AI robots. Amazon is wiping out 60,000 jobs because he's replacing it with AI. Meta is going to do the same thing. All of these billionaires that blame immigrants when they exploit immigrant labor, these billionaires do. They are going to sit there and continue to scapegoat their very customers and the very people that made them billionaires. They're going to continue to fleece and fleece and fleece while they rob from you. And the Supreme Court and the executive branch and Congress are going to let them do it because they're all owned by the same people. And then lastly, pop up this one. When the richest corporations. This is Senator Reuben Gallego. When the richest corporations pay a lower tax rate than hardworking families, the system is broken. A more perfect union tweets. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla collectively received 51 billion in tax breaks. And thanks to the Trump and GOP corporate tax cuts signed into law last year, together, they effectively paid a federal tax rate of 4.9%. And if you hear these billionaires right now, oh, my God, we've got to move out of New York and we've got to move out of California because we only get to make money. We don't get to pay money. We only get to exploit people and then browbeat people because they don't have insurance or because they want to make more than minimum wage. This is so broken. And we cannot afford billionaires. And we need Democratic leadership that does not take money from Palantir and that does not take money from Genocider Benjamin Netanyahu. It is utterly insane how interconnected all of this is. And we have got to put up an ironclad resistance and change the culture as well, because the culture is so skewed that we all have to worship billionaires, billionaires. And they are proven, at least the ones surrounding Trump, they are proven to be completely incapable of being benevolent.

Well, and they're just so selfish, like a billionaire like you have, for example, all of this AI Stuff. Now they're going in and they have to have electricity for all this. So not only are they paying no taxes, they're taking over land, like electricity grids. I mean, it's going to get worse. And I don't see any opposition. And it's really, really unfortunate that our leadership does not fight against this. It's ridiculous. Trump wants no regulations on AI. He wants no state to have regulation over AI Wonder why. All right.
