Foreign. As it turns out, the shooter was the exact opposite of what everybody I know on the left believes. He was. Alt, right, extremist. And we've covered that on a lot of episodes yesterday. But let's take a break from that and get back to our bread and butter and enjoy this glorious video of Kanks getting booed at a New York Yankees game. Play the clip.

B
What a bozo.
- [00:40]
A
Why does he do. Why does he do this?
- [00:42]
B
And his mouth. I mean, he looks like a nut job.
- [00:45]
A
He's a. He's a. I mean, it's Captain Bones Burr. Quit putting your. Quit acting like.
- [00:49]
B
Right. Did you give a. Because you don't.

I've had it. All right, listen up. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the Biden presidency. I was so happy when he won. I just felt, you know, pure elation. I've been very disappointed with the way that he governed. Not the legislation that he passed, but his inability to market that and his DOJ's inability to take this threat that we're currently living in this hell seriously and operate under this default setting that, oh, people aren't going to do that again. It's okay. This constant capitulation to patriarchal structures that even centrist Democrats cave to. Well, in Brazil, they didn't do that. So Bolsonaro is. Was the president of Brazil, and he copied Trump's playbook to a T with the insurrection. They arrested him. They had a trial. Kylie put this up. Midas touches reporting. Brazil's top court sentences former President Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison over his attempted coup. And this is so important because on an episode of I've had It, I asked historian and authoritarian expert Professor Ruth Ben Guy, she's also an author and amazing person, will that be the failure us not trying him? And she said, absolutely. Like you, if somebody tries to overthrow the government, you have to react with every bit as much intensity as they did to overthrow it. And now we all find ourselves here, and I think forever. That will forever be the talking point on the Biden presidency, that it failed to hold an attempted coup and insurrection accountable. And what comes with that pumps is now, in a just breathtaking tweet, the Secretary of State, Lil Marco Rubio, who campaigned for years on what a danger Donald Trump was, and then he morally collapsed and sucks up to kinks all the time. And this is the Secretary of State. The United States of America puts on his Twitter. The political persecutions by sanctioned human rights abuser Alexander de Moreas continue as he and others on Brazil's Supreme Court have unjustly ruled to imprison former President Bolsonaro. The United States will respond accordingly to this witch hunt.
- [03:26]
B
This is incredible.
- [03:27]
A
That's breathtaking.
- [03:28]
B
It is incredible. He was on the Intelligence committee. And what business is it of the United States to take issue with somebody else, some other country's court system? The only.
- [03:40]
A
I'll tell you what it is, okay? Used to be our business to have supported Brazil and supported countries that listen to the people and honor free and fair elections and have court systems that have a rule of law. It used to be our business to be an ally to countries like Brazil. But now we are in the business of criticizing a free and fair election that they held and criticizing their people, the will of their people and the fairness of their courts that found him guilty. And we're calling bullshit on it. This is the shit of third rate dictatorships. Absolutely. That's what's so unbelievable that a United States of America Secretary of State. We used to support democracies and that tweet to me was stunning. It shocked, shocked, shocked me.
- [04:39]
B
Well, here's the thing. This administration has moved us into fascism. They do not want democracy. They're not going to support it here. So they're certainly not going to support somebody that copied off Trump and was held accountable because we couldn't do it. Listener There is nothing more important than taking care of your skin.

All right, I just want to remind everybody that the president United States after the the shooting of Charlie Kirk went on an AI video, which is really weird, and riled up the base and said he was going to get each and every left wing person involved, which, spoiler alert, zero left wing people were involved in that. And I just want to remind the viewer what Kanks has said about little kids getting shot in Iowa. Pop it up. Trump tells supporters we have to get over it after I was school shooting. His comments come after nearly 36 hours of silence and a day after his GOP rivals addressed the shooting that took the life of a sixth grade student and injured others. And this is why we're different. Like we're different. I as much as everything that Charlie Kirk said and the racism and the further marginalization and all of those things, it made me sick and it made me sad to see that shooting. Absolutely. And with me saying that I don't tell anybody else how to feel about it. I'm not a black woman that has heard all the racist stuff that he says and I'm not going to tell anybody else to feel the same way I feel because this is a free country, knock on wood. And we should all be able to feel how we want to. But I feel like with this microphone comes a responsibility to calm and quell political violence and have empathy for kids that keep getting shot and all the people that witness that, you know, that happened in Utah. But what's interesting about this whole thing pumps is before they got Tyler Robinson in the right wing, which is where all of this thing happened. Okay? Like the, the, the shooter is a right wing wing rights white supremacist, alt right, as far right as you can get. There's all these little subcultures that pop up and you have the pro Israel MAGA and then you have the very anti Semitic Israel is a problem part of maga. I'm not, you know, everybody knows how I feel about, about Benjamin Netanyahu. I think he's a war criminal. Etc. We're talking about the right wing. So Benjamin Netanyahu is such an opportunist, a propagandist a war criminal and is heavily, heavily, heavily parasitic off the United States taxpayers money so that he can continue killing civilians and starving children in Gaza. He's very interested in US Politics knowing that a part of the mag base is thinking, they were claiming before they got this guy that Israel did it, right, that Mossad killed Charlie Kirk. He goes on Newsmax and Fox doing it. It wasn't me before they got this, which is really bizarre to have a prime minister of Israel going on these far right television programs doing a proactive. It's not Israel, it's not Mossad. Take a look at this. It's really weird.

D
Before I let you go, I want you to address one thing and just the absurdity of it. Some of the Internet rumors that somehow Israel is behind the Charlie Kirk murder. And I don't believe it for one second, but I want you to make a statement. It's so absurd.
- [10:19]
E
That's insane. That's insane. Israel also changes the orbit of the moon. Israel pushes the sun. I mean, the whole thing is, it's not only insane, I think it's so absurd, so stupid, so stupid and so ridiculous. You can't believe that people are saying that they just found the perpetrator, they'll get to the bottom of this. But they go, you know, they have no limits. When you hate Jews, when you hate the Jewish state, you're willing to say anything and promote all these absurd, absurd rumors. And by the way, they're willing to kill us all the time. I mean, that's what they're doing. And you know, over the centuries when Jews, especially in the Middle Ages, the horrific Middle Ages, the worst things were said about Jews, you couldn't possibly believe. We were poisoning the wells, we were drinking the blood of Christian children, you name it. I mean, these things that continued actually up to the point.

A
I want to remind you, Benjamin Netanyahu, that this is what Trump says about immigrants right now. Right? This is exactly what the party that is accusing you of killing Charlie Kirk. This is exactly what they say about immigrants. And you're able to go on Newsmax and you're able to go on Fox News and pedal this. In another clip, I saw pumps. He compared liberals to radical Islamists. And that's so intentionally, yes, willfully misleading because the people who are most like Islamists are fundamentalist, white nationalist Christians. They're exactly like Islamists. You just take out the Quran and you put the Bible in. Yeah. Benjamin Netanyahu and the government of Israel are parasites on your tax dollars. The fact that he had to go in there and address this shows you he knows how badly he's screwing up on getting detached potentially from the American tit that's funded all of this. And he knew, oh, I got to get in there. I got to get on the right wing airwaves ASAP to put the stop on this or I'm not going to be getting my bombs anymore.
- [12:29]
B
I just don't think it can be overstated how irresponsible the coverage on Newsmax and Foxes. They are supposed to be a regulated news agency and they have done nothing but lie. And here's the thing. They didn't know, nobody knew. And they immediately jumped all chips in. They want to go to war with, you know, liberals want to go to.
- [12:52]
A
War, blah, blah, blah.
- [12:54]
B
The people that want war, that talk about hate and spreading hate, are the people that sit on Fox News and try to divide the country. They like it. And having Benjamin Netanyahu come in and comment is just gross. It is just again.
- [13:10]
A
And he's willfully manipulative with information. He knows he's not.
- [13:15]
B
He's a lot smarter.
- [13:16]
A
He's a lot smarter. It's diabolical. He knows when he says poison the well and all that, that they said that about the Jews. He, Trump uses the exact same language about our immigrants. He says that 80% of the working immigrant population in this country are criminals released from prisons. I mean, that's really, number one false. But the, the, the, it's a real dehumanizing thing. And I just, I see these immigrants in the United States of America as hardworking, good people, you know, Absolutely. I have not had an experience with an immigrant that even comes close to paralleling the horrific experience of being around a judgmental white maga Christian. It's just, give me an immigrant, give me a black woman all day long. I cannot tell you, listener, how vile it is spending time with a right wing, sanctimonious, judgmental maga Christian. It's not fun. They're full of hate. And I just, my heart goes out to all of the people that this movement picks on and further marginalizes because it's not what all of us are about.
