Everything Kings touches dies, literally. If he invests in a casino, he's going to bankrupt it. If he touches a business, it's going to go bankrupt. The same goes with the federal government and, sadly, the White House. We all saw his horrific redo of the Rose Garden, which he eliminated the garden and added a concrete patio with umbrellas. That's aesthetically not very easy on the eyeballs. And now, of course, he wants to build his giant ballroom with a. An assist from industry titans and millionaires and billionaires who want to put their names in the ballroom. And I say put their names on there. Let's see their names. Let's do it. And he's tearing down history. And for me, this kind of stuff, it saddens me a little bit. I'm far more concerned about the 170 citizens that have been abused, tortured, and denied due process by this administration. I'm far more concerned about people in the DOJ being told to lie and say Abrego Garcia was Ms. 13 when he was not. I'm far more concerned about the egregious human rights violations and kanks and all of his sycophants cooking the books as to the numbers on the economy. But this is a perfect metaphor for what this man touches. Put this up. The Midas touch just in. The White House has begun demolishing portions of the east wing of the White House to build Trump's $250 million ballroom, despite earlier claiming it wouldn't interfere with the existing White House structure. Before I kick it to pumps, I just want to say something. This brings me back to the way the Democrats govern. Little tiptoe baby steps that they take. And they govern in a sense that they don't want to upset Republicans, because if Republicans get power, then they'll do whatever they want. Well, when Republicans get power, you're goddamn right they do whatever the they want, and they don't give a shit what anybody thinks about it at all. And they propagandize and they lie and they pad the piggy banks of their millionaire and billionaire donors. Democrats note, if we ever get power again, govern like you won, for God's sakes, because at least you're governing for good and not governing for the frail ego of a malignant, demented narcissist. Kanks.

You know, I saw this, and it really. It hurt me because it just shows the absolute disdain this president and the entire administration have for the history of the United States and what it means to be in the United States. And I realize he says donors are going, going to fund this. But we are in the middle of a government shutdown. People are not getting paychecks and we are fighting over health care for 15 million Americans and he is spending money to make a ballroom to self aggrandize. It is so repulsive. And I can't believe he's supposed to be this optics guru. The optics of this are just horrifying.
- [03:05]
A
The optics are intentional though, Angie. The optics are what authoritarians do, that I get to do what I want to do because I am the dear leader. This is intentional. This disdain and this scorn for precedent, for rules, for decorum is, is a play. This is intentional. This is, I'm going to do what I want to do because this is my country. I am the ruler of this country. I don't care what the people think. I don't care if the military isn't getting paid, I don't care if the PSA isn't showing up. This is what I get to do. This is intentional. Rest assured, you guys, all of this is a play. Right out of an authoritarian playbook. Moving along. The no Kings rally really has rattled maga and they are now rolling out three high profile women in the MAGA movement. And as we learn from Professor Ruth Ben Guyot, this is something that authoritarians do to gender wash even because the authoritarian regime all about the strong man and toxic masculinity, that's what the whole purpose of it is to, to cover up for these men and their little dick energy and their frail egos. So they trot out women to gender wash so that moderate women, or maybe women that are on the fence about voting feel like, oh, these women are for these men. So this, this regime must not be bad for women. I'm playing a series of videos of here where they're rolling out women to propagandize about the no K rally. And again, this is intentional. This is an intentional gender washing of this authoritarian regime. First, we're going to hear from Lara Trump.

Feel like the Democrats have been serious about any of this. As you heard, he thinks it's been a political stunt. And quite frankly, Dana, that's all the Democrats have had to offer the American people for quite some time.
- [05:05]
A
Stunts.

Think about them sitting on the Capitol steps and singing, thinking. Think about, you know, Cory Booker there with the hours long, historic record breaking time on the Senate floor just to prove a point. They don't really have anything that they're bringing to the table. I think they're only hurting themselves. The no Kings did absolutely Nothing. And I'll remind everybody, if Donald Trump was actually a king, none of those people would have been able to be out there to protest. But I digress.
- [05:33]
A
Okay, moving along then, we have Representative Lisa McClain. You'll recognize her. She's always standing next to little Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson. And here she is with more propaganda and gender washing. This toxic masculinity. Little dick Energy, authoritarian regime. Play the clip.
- [05:51]
D
You really believe that the approximately 7 million attendees who participated this weekend, according to the organizers, hate the United States of America. Well, look at what they they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for anti Semitism. Just take a look at the rallies, right? This is the party of The Republicans are party of law and order.
- [06:15]
A
Okay, stop her right there. The Republicans of the party of crime, they voted for a convicted felon that the sec. First thing he did was pardon people that beat up cops that are convicted felons themselves and took a shit in the Capitol. The only communism I've seen coming out of the United States of America comes from this administration that is having the government buy parts of companies and partner with. The only crime that I'm seeing from any political party is this MAGA movement. But this gender washing and this lying and trying to hold people that stand up for the human rights of Palestinians and call them anti Semitic for criticizing a war criminal. Benjamin Netanyahu is really rich. And these bitches are playing a part that at some point those knives will be turned at them. This is a movement that. That lives at the height of toxic masculinity. And here's Joni Erst. This is a moderate. A moderate in the MAGA movement. Play this clip.
- [07:20]
D
Yes, thank you, Harris. I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It is a much larger organization. It could be the usual suspect, of course, George Soros. But what we have seen in the past, of course, is threat to local governments and property. And so we do need to make sure that these are safe protests. And I would.
- [07:47]
A
Okay. This is a coordinated effort on MAGA because they understand how effective the no Kings march was. They understand the optics of the no Kings March. Women, men, Gen X, Gen Z, boomers, all different flavors of American people marching for freedom. Marching for the United States of America. Marching for the Constitution. The MAGA movement is the party of lies, moral depravity and crime. There has never been a better time to be a criminal in the United States or to be A pedophile in the United States. Because both of those things, you will curry favor within the MAGA movement. And so for these three women who have ascended to their positions based on the bravery and the courage of suffragettes and women beyond them that fought for gender equality, to use that fight, the fight of other women to stand up there and tear it all down is so incredibly rich and intellectually dishonest. And they're going to find out they are playing stupid fucking games and they're going to win a stupid fucking prize because these women act like they're all family values, traditional family values. And in the MAGA world, traditional means the wife stays at home. All of these women have careers which I support. These are hypocrites and these are liars. They use their faith to weaponize against people and they are gender washing. And this was a coordinated, a coordinated hit using women in the MAGA movement to gender wash this pathetic little dick energy regime.
- [09:30]
B
Yeah. Shame on these women for allowing it to happen. And Joni Erst, I'm still mad at her for voting yes for Pete Hegseth for defense Secretary when she served in the military. She is the same person that said everybody's gonna die when asked by her constituents about Medicare. She's not even running again. So she now has the opportunity to stand up for what is right and what helps people. And she doesn't because she has sold her soul along with everything else. And Lara Trump would be at the bottom of somebody's shoe like gum if her father in law was not Donald Trump. It is so repulsive that these women sit on the airways and they lie. They lie and they give other women cover to be hypocrites. I want to take a moment to thank our sponsor and today's sponsor is Quince.

Okay, moving along, this is a pretty interesting story. Miles Bruner wrote an article for the Bulwark and he says I can no longer be an accomplice to the GOP's descent into authoritarianism. I just turned my back on a 12 year career in the Republican ecosystem and I urge anyone else who harbors doubts to do the same. And here's an excerpt from this article. I worked inside GOP circles through Trump's takeover of the party, his initial downfall, and his resurgence in the 2023, 2024. At every step along the way, I rationalized, compartmentalized and found excuses to stay tethered to the party even as I grew to believe it was undermining the foundations of our constitutional republic. But over the last few months, the compartment mentalization and coping stopped working to silence my conscience. And so what you're seeing right now, and I know that some days it is just overwhelming being American for our international viewers. I know it's overwhelming watching what's happening here. But you're starting to see fissures. 60 Minutes and I encourage everybody to go see this. Whistleblowers are coming out about what the DOJ is doing, that they are lying to the courts intentionally, that they are asking US Attorneys to lie to judges intentionally. And there are some people that may be conservative and they may be Republican, but they have integrity and they have a spine and they will not bend it. And so this guy Miles Bruner, good on him. And we need to amplify these voices because at some point these people were good, not, not like leftist or progressive, but probably had a sen of decency and a sense of right and wrong. The brazen immorality on display by Kanks and these others, you have the failed drag queen Lil Smokey saying he doesn't care what happens to people that the United States military illegally executes. That's on purpose. That's to try to normalize this sort of psychopathy. And this is what authoritarians do to their cult. But you're seeing fissures. You're seeing Marjorie Taylor Greene, you're seeing Tucker Carlson, who, by the way, I think both are nuts. But to defeat this fascist takeover, this authoritarian takeover, it is going to be all hands on deck. And we are going to find ourselves with some strange bedfellows in that process. And there's several issues. There's one who can help us defeat this. And then once we get there and we get back to, you know, into our tribes, you know, as Democrats, can we push our leadership off of APAC money? Because it is as toxic as all get out. All right, that's all we have for this episode. Please like and subscribe. And we'll be back later with more news.
