Everyone that works in the Trump administration has no problem working for a convicted felon, a con man, a man who bankrupts his businesses, who has is an adjudicated sex offender. All of them are fine with this. So when they arrive at their jobs in this administration, the immorality is already in place, it is assumed. And here we have Pam Bondi right here, who is our top DOJ person. Here we have her with her Christian cross, dehumanizing a man with no criminal record.
News Analyst
Maryland is safer because he is gone. And that woman that he is married to and that child he had with her, they are safer tonight because he is out of our country and sitting in El Salvador where he belongs.
Political Commentator
Okay, this is just abhorrent. I cannot believe we are living in a country that 90 days after this evil administration is put into place, they all wear their Christian crosses and they work for this convicted felon and they get on TV every day, gaslight and dehumanize other human beings, all in the name of Jesus and Trump. This is disgusting.
Legal Expert
Pam Bondi is an absolute disgrace. And I was thinking, we went so fast when Trump first appointed Matt Gates and then he went immediately to Pam Bondi. That should have been the biggest red flag because she has done his dirty work. You pointed out to me that's her job, to be a propagandist. But what I find the most interesting is she talks about people taken off the street as chattel, yet wants to prosecute as domestic terrorists, people that damage Tesla, which is a property crime. She is abhorrent. I cannot stand her. She has no credibility.
Political Commentator
Pam Bondi, what? You have to realize the reason she's never in her office working and that she's on Fox News all the time because the number one job of this administration is propaganda. Like any authoritarian regime, they're moving quickly and they keep trying to propagandize their base. And this is where Rupert Murdoch is. The most culpable, immoral man on the planet. Give me a break. You come over to this country, you make billions of dollars. Rert and all of his kids should be ashamed of themselves. That company, Fox News, that this woman goes on all the time and spews her lies, that is destroying a company that has fed you and your family beyond any dream you could have ever imagined. And you are a participant in the dismantling of this country and the dismantling of Western alliances. And you are complicit in sending innocent to a concentration camp in El Salvador. It is disgusting. Rupert Murdoch and all of the Murdoch should be ashamed that they continue to allow these lies and these egregious human rights violations to be propagandized on their network. It is a disgrace. Next up, we have Pam Bondi telling all Americans that we should apologize to the person that she worships that wears a full face of makeup every day.
News Analyst
Donald Trump, El Salvador. He is sitting in a prison. And every American should be thanking President Trump tonight. And every liberal journalist who has called him a Maryland man and saying he was rightfully in this country should be apologizing tonight to President Trump.
Political Commentator
Let me ask you this, Pumps. You grew up in Christian circles like that with women that wear crosses like that. Why? And how can they demean human beings like that and feel so like it's a part of their religion? What is that?
Legal Expert
Entitlement? And we are better than you. We are white. We are privileged. We could never be in the position that you are, that you're an illegal immigrant. It is an absolute othering of people that starts from the indoctrination, from the jump. That's why it is so pervasive in these Christian cross wearing Trumpers and triple Trumpers is because they think they're better than other people because they're white.
Political Commentator
Do they think they're chosen by God?
Legal Expert
Absolutely.
Political Commentator
Favored by God.
Legal Expert
Favored by God. They are in the driver's seat. Everybody else is out of the. Of the plum position, as it were.
Political Commentator
I mean, it's just for me as a, not as a secular person to see these women with their crosses saying such crazy, cruel things that we should be so grateful to Trump, who is nothing short of an abuser. He is abusing the United States of America, his power abusing the most marginalized people. And from my vantage point, my moral compass tells me that I need to fight for The Garcias of the world. My moral compass tells me that I need to fight for the most marginal, marginalized, trans people who are getting bullied and scapegoated on this national stage. And all of the Christian people that I know in the Bible Belt place that we live in are just like Pam Bondi. And it's just they're talking about wanting to tax Harvard. And I'm like, the indoctrination academies are not Harvard. That's the deprogramming academy. That's where critical thinking is encouraged. The indoctrination academies are these Christian schools around Oklahoma and these mega churches where people are spiritually abused starting from birth, where they end up on tv. See, like, Pam Bondi really, like, salivating that they're sending innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. The United States of America is rounding up people and sending them to a concentration camp without due process because they.
Legal Expert
Believe they are better than these people fundamentally.
Political Commentator
All right, Pam Bondi's own link that she put on Twitter, let's put this up. It says, U.S. department of Homeland Security. It has his name, Kilmar Garcia, and it says previous criminal history. And then below that, it says, subject has no criminal history. So what everybody needs to come to terms with right now is that our allies in the world are El Salvador, that man Bukele, who calls himself the world's coolest dictator. I mean, if that isn't a play out of Trump's playbook. The red carpet was rolled out. Egregious human rights violations in this country. Now our taxpayer money is paying for people to be sent to concentration camps. And there is a large group of Christian nationalists in this country that are salivating over it, that like it, and that would rather see the entire country burned to the ground to make sure that nobody else lives. Well, except for them.
Legal Expert
Well, it's just absolutely stunning that all of these people that are being sent to these concentration camps in El Salvador, they don't have criminal histories, and they've never been given due process. It never in my lifetime as an attorney that studied law and the Constitution did I think that due process would be thrown away. And this administration has taken the Constitution, wadded it up in a ball, and thrown it away.
Political Commentator
Okay, I have to ask you something. You've been sick a couple of days. I've been waiting to ask you this. So you know the 90 decision, right. And when you announced it, I said a lot of people are saying it's not as crystal clear because they use the word facilitate. So I'VE been thinking a lot about that, and I've been thinking about Thomas, Thomas and Alito and their wives and how they like to plan insurrections and hang don't tread on me flags and all this. Don't you think it's completely plausible that people within those two families and maybe a couple of other justices have been communicating with the Trump administration and said, look, you don't have to honor it because we fought to use the word facilitate so that the language was ambiguous. I mean, they have communicated all of this time before Jenny Thomas and the Trump administration, what's going to stop it.
Legal Expert
Now, that's bone chilling to think about, but I absolutely believe that has happened. I mean, Trump and his alkalites go on Fox News and say, justice Kavanaugh, basically remember who got you here. But what I do think gives me some type of peace is that the lower court judge that's in charge of facilitating the return of this man is holding Trump's feet to the fire. The Trump administration's feet to the fire.
Political Commentator
Right. But he's going to keep appealing it.
Legal Expert
Yes.
Political Commentator
And it's going to go to the Supreme Court that gave him immunity, that slow played Jack Smith's investigation and inevitable prosecution of him to have a reckoning about all of Trump's illegal things that he did in this country. And the Supreme Court protected him. And so I just don't have a whole lot of faith in that court to protect democracy, because every single time these MAGA Republicans can, they've been emasculated and dehumanized by him and they've sold everything down the river. And their entire identity is this one man. I don't have any peace whatsoever. That at the end of the day, they're not going to abdicate their power in the same fashion that Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi and all these other crazy sycophants have. Okay, next up, we have J.D. vance. And here he goes. Full Hitler propaganda. Listen to this.
News Analyst
And there was a wisdom in what Richard Nixon said approximately 40, 50 years ago. He said, and I quote, the professors are the enemy.
Political Commentator
Okay, this is so ridiculous. This man went to Yale. And this man is completely an absolute diabolical disgrace that is partnered up with these weird Silicon Valley billionaires that hate women and want to dismantle democracy. I'm talking about Peter Thiel, this Curtis Yarvin and J.D. vance and Elon Musk. These people want Ivy Leagues for them, and then they want to depict that they're going to teach this dark enlightenment bullshit. Here's what's so short sighted about these billionaires? There's literally a historical record wherein you can look to see what happens with authoritarian governments and dictatorships. They always fall. Maybe, you know, they. Maybe America turns authoritarian for 10 years, maybe it's 75 years, but at the end of the day, it will fall. Human beings want to live free. Human beings want to have equal and fair opportunity. These oligarchs don't want it. And all of these MAGA bullshit Christian nationalists that run around with their crosses. JD Vance can't even defend his wife. Do not want that for you.
Legal Expert
No, they want to be in complete power. And the through line between the billionaires and the Christians is they think they're entitled to the power and nobody else should have it.
Political Commentator
Next up, we have J.D. vance, in a classic projection via tweet, put this up. He says, I hate this smug, self assured bullshit quote. I know I'm right and people must be dumb or immoral to disagree with me. It's an easy way to go through life because then you never have to think seriously about why your worldview is a justification for the mass invasion of the country ancestors built with their bare hands. And what I have to say to you, J.D. vance, white man, is your ancestors didn't build Jack. African American slaves did all of the manual labor that built this country. That is intellectually dishonest. You're the smug prick that nobody likes. That is the fundamental problem as to why everybody is pissed off. You are race baiting and feeding this. And it is so unfair and it is so historically inaccurate to claim that it is just. We were on the cusp of really starting to have serious conversations about reconciling our horrific past with racism and slavery. These slaves were raped. They had no freedom. They were dehumanized. They were demoralized. Exactly what the Trump administration is doing to immigrants. Now, this is gaslighting. This is abusive. And all of these MAGA people run around like battered wives when they do shit like this. I've never seen anything like it.
Legal Expert
Well, I feel like the whole country is in a cycle of abuse. But I just want to say this. I am not going to take lessons in principle from somebody that's changed his name a handful of times that used to be pro immigration. Now he's a racist. Like, do not talk to me about Principal J.D. vance because you have none. You go to the highest bidder and the most power. Full stop.
Political Commentator
Okay? And then lastly, I just want to leave you all with this. Remember how I started this episode? None of these people have any problem working for a convicted felon. For most people, they would have a problem with that. This convicted felon attempted a coup. Most people that are intellectual and have a moral compass would have a problem with that. Well, here's another that has no problem with that. And this is cosplay Barbie Christie Gnome. And here now she's saying that Harvard University won't be able to enroll international students unless it hands over records about their protest activity and disciplinary files. They want to be thought police. They want to be thought police. And they're pushing this narrative that if you oppose the horrible, horrible actions of the Israeli government, that somehow you're anti Semitic. And that is such. It is a total lie. You can both be upset about what happened on October 7th, and then you can be double and triple upset that the number one killer of babies and children in this world right now is Israel. And you don't have to pick a side on that. Both of those things can upset you at the same time. But I want to remind all of the people in the world that this administration, they're all evangelical Christians. And let me tell you what evangelical Christians think about Jews. You're supposed to be in your place in Israel before the Rapture comes, and then Jesus is going to come down, take them, all of those racist dipshits to heaven, and all the Jews are going to burn in hell for all eternity. So that's like shortsighted support. And it's total bullshit. And if I've heard it once, I've heard it a million times in the Bible Belt. These evangelical Christians go, well, I love the Jews. My Lord and personal savior is a Jew. They're supposed to be in Israel before the Rapture. This is real. These people are cuckoo. They are both anti Semitic and they don't like Palestinians because they're brown. This is not a human rights cause. This is all peppered in hypocrisy and bullshit. And we cannot be a country that we are now policing people's thoughts and what they can protest against or not. Especially when it comes to the world's number one killer of children right now, which is Israel. And everybody, everybody, and I know a lot of Jewish people who stand with me on this should oppose that with everything in us. All right, this has uplifting episode of I hip news.
