So when Donald Trump made the decision to join Israel and bomb Iran, he was at Mar a Lago and he set up a makeshift little skiv with curtains. And then after he did this, he went to his million dollar a plate fundraiser. The fact that this man, who has already gotten $4 billion off of our credibility, the United States economy, private information, the Trump family, is $4 billion richer that we know of. And mind you, he should be in jail and bankrupt right now. If we really had an opposition party, he would be in jail and bankrupt right now. But this guy will not shut up. He wants to do live show and tell trophy presentations in the Oval Office. He loves being on camera. And this illegal strike on Iran where he went around Congress with the help of the Democrats, helped delay the vote. He keeps putting on these weird edited slurring videos. Here he is yesterday talking about, you know, American service members are going to die. And here's what he says about it.

A
Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three US Military service members have been killed in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more, but we'll do everything possible.

B
Okay, so this is just, I think probably one of the more frustrating things is we all know, like, if any other president said anything like this, the standards that they would be held to and the fact that this man just keeps pressing on with such impunity. And yesterday, you guys, after the Venezuela thing, you could not get his cabinet to shut up. They were all over cable news and there, it's crickets. They are nowhere to be found.
- [02:23]
C
Well, likely because they know it's a scam. But I've never seen them worry about lying prior to this. I mean, here's the thing about that video. It's like he is, I look at him and I think, this cannot be the person in charge of the United States of America. He has no concept of the value of human life because he doesn't give a shit. Because he is incapable of empathy. He does not care. He thinks he's going to go down as, you know, I'm going to get a Nobel Peace Prize when all he does is stir up conflict and now an illegal war. I just, I am, it's so fearful about this because he's so incompetent and everybody around him is so incompetent and, or diabolical and he's so. He's following a war criminal Like, I can't wrap my head around it yet. At the same time, it's exactly what you would expect.
- [03:16]
B
Okay. And then we have, we need to talk about what we can do as resistance. And so I'm looking for voices in the Democratic Party that are very clear on this. You have two different camps. You have, have the camp that is saying, we weren't briefed on this, therefore he shouldn't have done it. And then you have another camp that is saying, this is an illegal war. I would vote no to go to this war, period, full stop. We're not doing this. Iran was not a threat to us. It's Benjamin Netanyahu's Make a Wish foundation that he's getting, you know, dementia boy, pudding brain on board with. So, Eric Swalwell. Kudos to you, Eric. He said the following on X. Ending autocracy in Iran and growing one here in the United States cannot be the plan. And this is the moral clarity that we need right now. We need a Democratic Party that is a true opposition party that doesn't get mired down in the word salad responses that we often hear. And here's something you everybody needs to understand. Chuck Schumer is an Israel first politician, period. I mean, he said it himself. So he is 100% on board with what is going on here because he is, has a vested interest in Benjamin Netanyahu being able to do whatever he wants to do. Hakeem Jeffries, sadly, I think he too, takes a lot of APAC money and is very much on board with Benjamin Netanyahu having yet another United States of America blank check and working class kids being killed in the Middle East. And this is just really serious stuff. And I'm looking for Democrats that have a true opposition to this. And it cannot be. We cannot go around the world right now claiming, oh, we're bringing you democracy. We don't even have a democracy. We got pudding boy that is already drafting up documents right now to try to nationalize the vote.
- [05:32]
C
Well, and interesting you make the point that we don't have an opposition because people don't know Hakeem Jeffries. And there's Nancy Pelosi. Everybody knew her and hated her. I received a fundraiser raising email from Trump. He was talking about Pelosi in that email that I got Friday. So it just went straight to the heart of the point you make about the opposition that Trump has. He does not think they're coming for him.
- [06:01]
B
Right. And I think that the, the situation is it's not an opposition, Hakeem. Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are not an opposition to Trump. And when it comes to Israel, they are in alignment. They are not. We have. When you see Lindsey Graham doing backflips on X and you see Ted Cruz, rah, rah, sis, boomba. Our Democratic leadership are on the side of Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz on issue. And then after attacking Iran, okay, think about this. President of the United States joins war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu attacks Iran, kills over 100 Iranian school girls, bombing hospitals. Iran's going crazy afterwards, which is what happens when people get attacked and they're attacking, you know, civilian sites. So this is a complete shit show. Pudding boy with a cook brain goes back to Mar a Lago to his $1 million fundraiser, and then he gets on Truth Social and re grams 2 year old posts with Lady Gaga's dad endorsing Trump. Pop this up. He reposted this. You guys, look at the date of this. He's reposting all of this stuff in the middle of a war. He's not sitting with the Pentagon that advised him not to do this. He's not sitting with the Joint Chiefs. He's not doing anything like that. It's my understanding that they even iced out Rubio advance from all of these negotiations. And he's, he's conquering the United States with this divide by rule. And what all of this is being, what is going to, all of this is going to lead us up to is complete nihilism that the public is going to dive into and he is going to try to do a coup in November. I mean, I just think that's where all of this is heading.

C
I agree. And I'm old enough to remember when presidents struck other countries and went to war. It was done in the Situation Room. And now we're doing it at Mar a Lago while hosting a dinner that just tells me the level to which. Donald Trump does not give a shit about the death of people in their country, in our country. He does not care, full stop.
- [08:34]
B
No, I mean, this Donald Trump doesn't care about human life at all. That's why I always thought it was hilarious that the Christian right thought that he was so pro life. I'm just like, you actually think he gives a shit about kids and choice? I mean, how many abortions do we think he's paid for? I'm sure it's a ton. Okay? Moving along his administration while they are on the high road acting sanctimonious and they're going to bring democracy to the world and to the Iranian people, the Department of Education, you know, they were putting up these North Korea style fascist banners around Washington D.C. on government buildings. Most famously, you probably saw the picture of Donald Trump on the doj. Well, now they are putting these banners, these fascist banners on the Department of Education. This is just. This one really got to me. Pop this up. The intellectualist reports. According to the image below, Trump's Department of Education appears to be equating Booker T. Washington, the formerly enslaved educator founded the Tuskegee Institute and became the most influential black institutional leader of the late 19th century with former Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk. So let's think about this. Here you have Booker T. Washington, and then they put up Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is a Christian nationalist racist. And here's what people have to understand. This isn't just casually happening on the building of the Board of Education. There is a complete movement in these private religious schools and in red states and public schools to Turning Point, the entire curriculum. This is intentional in their part to say, Charlie Kirk's message of racism. Charlie Kirk's message of homophobia. Charlie Kirk's criticism of black people. Charlie Kirk's criticism of mlk. Charlie Kirk's support of white nationalism and white supremacy is something we value here at the Department of Education. And in the state that Pumps and I are from, in Oklahoma, we had a education. What was he, the superintendent of school? Yeah, and he. Ryan Walters. And he very much was Turning Point esque. It was all of this homophobia, institutionalized homophobia, institutionalized racism. And there is a whole world. I couldn't believe it when Charlie Kirk was brutally shot and I posed that. It was just horrible. Nobody should have access to guns like that and kill somebody on a college campus in the United States. I was shocked at how many people were like re gramming and reposting. Like he was some sort of icon. I mean, this guy was a hardcore racist. But what's important with this message with Charlie Kirk is this messaging and this branding of white Christian nationalism that promotes this binary only white people, straight marriage culture is huge, you guys. It is huge in the United States of America. It, I mean, it is, it is. It is so suffocating in Bible belts and the impunity in which these people operate and the values that are taught to their children are really, really right in line with what you see there. It is this, oh, okay, yeah, we. Booker T. Washington was good. And then, oh yeah, Charlie Kirk's also right. Because we need to. We can talk about black people so we don't appear racist, but we also get to beat them down, ban their books and remove them from history and act like Charlie Kirk is the equivalent of Booker T. Washington. It is, this is intentional that happens in red state culture that is now, that has now gone national. And it's devastating to see the embrace of this by the federal government, the embrace of this regressive, hateful racism. And racism is still very, very, very much alive in the Bible Belt. And Trump has just made it amazing, million times worse. And people are just quiet about it. And it's something that we all have to align and speak out against because it, racism is such a driving factor and why Trump is able to do all of these things that he's doing. And it is because the fascists are always scapegoating black people. And if you think about it, African Americans, black community has lived in a fascist state from the very beginning. And the Republican Party has always scapegoated them. All right, listener, we all have to have like a team of people in which we get through life. You have your friends, you have your family, but also you need to have doctors, dentists, et cetera. You need to have people that you can trust. You need to have people that really make you feel like they care and take pride in their job. Someone calms your nerves, explains things, clearly tells you that it's going to be okay.

Well, and Charlie Kirk, I mean, he was not only divisive about racism, he was a terrible racist misogynist. And I just look at the Department of Education and I'm not knocking people. I mean, it's just, it's unbelievable that the Department of Education, this is a man that went on college campuses and said women should get an Mrs. Degree. This is the same Department of Education that wants to cut all spending for Pre K and Head Start and helping children with special needs. In turn, they just want to pick their little white Christians. Which is what Charlie Kirk was, is we want to take our values and make you, through our public school system, make you every bit as racist and misogynistic and homophobic as we are. And here's the deal. In red states, we have private church schools that do that, that people pay money for. The public school should not be that. And it's in Oklahoma. Former superintendent, he wanted it to be like that, but now he's gone and the Supreme Court in Oklahoma stopped him. But where are we going to be five years from now if this continues with, oh, Charlie Kirk is so great. I cannot tell you how many bumper stickers in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that have Charlie Kirk on the bumper stickers. And I'm like, so you support racism, you support sexism, you just homophobia. And answer to all of those things is, yes.

Well, I mean, Trump won every county in Oklahoma. Every county went red. And so it's not that big of a jump if you're a Trump supporter. To me, if somebody triple trumped, I 100% know the racist. I mean, they can try to dance around it all they want to, but I'm not one of these people that gives oxygen or daylight to racists. I just don't. I mean, it. It is something that as an ally, you have to be fully committed. You have to be fully committed to not allowing racism in your circle and doing it silently. I think that's the worst part. That's the worst part that white people do when they silently let it happen. After Charlie Kirk was shot, I noticed, you know, you have people that you followed on Instagram. I noticed, like, a couple of people were martyring him on Instagram stories. And I just completely responded. He was an unrepentant, disgusting racist. Hate that he was killed, but also hate what he believed in. And of course, I got blocked and unfollowed, but that's a badge that I wear proudly in being an ally and not being an insidious person that allows the silent complicity of racist to operate because it is all hands on deck. So many white people enjoy the beauty and the spiciness and the fabulousness of black culture, yet they will not stand up for their black Americans. And to me, like that scapegoating of black Americans, that has been all. It has been ubiquitous in the United States of America forever. And you have the people that are overtly racist, but the people who are silently racist and the people that let them get away with it. That's how this operates, and that's how then it silently goes. Then it balloons into this huge, you know, Charlie Kirk on the Department of Education building. It's just really disgusting. All right. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
