B
The economy is so bad, the inflation is up so much, prices are up so much that instead of telling people the truth on Fox News, they're creating their own war on Christmas, something I never thought I would see.

Play the clip.

D
Budget, budget. You need a plan. Also remember, adults don't need gifts, okay? Focus on the people in your life who are age 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift. Now's not the time to spend and break the bank sending packages across the country. Dana, focus on the people in your life ages 3 to 18. That's my 30 seconds for you, Jade.

B
You're what a bunch of assholes. They cannot tell the truth. But so they're on there saying people, if you spend money on people that aren't minors, which there might be a question on what a minor is in that whole circle. But it's so stunning to me that they sit there and they give Trump all this praise and lie about the economy, yet somebody goes on their errand, says you can't afford to buy gifts for people that aren't children.
- [01:56]
C
Well, I think they're, you know, this is their way of trying to play into this, the frugality of probably the Fox viewer who is a fiscal conservative. This is a way for them to kind of fringe around, get around the edges that there are economic problems without saying it directly. What's interesting about this is, you know, Fox News loves to pile on, like when the stock market is booming and there is a lot, there are a lot of things happening economically right now that just simply are not spinnable. Combined with the fact that the somebody in Trump's cabinet, I can't remember the guy's name right now, it eludes me, but he's kind of that dorky guy that always has the smile on his face. Yes. He was saying that we're not going. I guess we could concoct some job numbers if we wanted to. And of course Fox News doesn't play any of that. And the economic issues, the stock market right now is starting to show this. But what's about to happen is going to be massive and it is this AI bubble and it's going to pop. And I am no economist, but I've been reading into this. And if you remember back in 08, the mortgage crisis, this is ripe. And they say it could potentially be even worse than that one because for like the last since Trump was sworn in, you have these billionaires that have really benefited from the favors that he's played and they have been trading like a trillion dollars at the top of stock market, keeping it where it is and it can't sustain for that long. So it's about to pop. People at Fox know this. Just like people at Fox News that the vaccine worked and that Covid was real. They know this. And so it's just interesting that the news channel that is so delusional about Christmas, where in New York City, you guys, at Christmas. It's very obvious who won the war on Christmas everywhere. Christmas one, Christmas one. And these morons, you know, play into this. It's more Christmy in New York City than it is in Oklahoma City. And there are more Christians probably percentage wise in Oklahoma City than there are in New York City. It is a Christmas dump truck up here. And it's just amazing to me that Fox News does all of this culture warship. But what's more amazing to me is that people are so stupid, they sit and listen to that shit right when.

B
They know prices are going up. Okay, so I'm so glad you brought it, peasant. He got called out and I want you to hear it because it's the first time somebody's actually called him out.
- [04:35]
E
Inflation is still 3%. It's still too high. Now oil prices, energy prices, there are certain things where they have come down. But when you keep saying prices are falling, that's not true because inflation is still the 3% is on top of all the inflation we had during the Biden years. So we got all that inflation plus an additional 3%. And we should, I think you should.
- [04:59]
F
Admit that a more, a more precise way to say it though, Joe, is that purchasing power has gone up. So real wages, that's w Divided by. For our technical people in the audience have gone up by about twelve hundred dollars this year. So the way to think about it is that we've dug a $3,000 hole.
- [05:15]
C
So he's what that tells me, you.
- [05:17]
F
Know, gained twelve hundred dollars on the way out already, which should give you a great deal of hope for the future, that the wage increases that we're seeing will continue. And even if inflation stays positive, make it so that people feel way better when they go to the grocery store and to buy a car, you know, we've reduced the cost.
- [05:34]
B
Okay, enough. Here's the thing. All, everything he just said was a lie. You have the guy saying, I think you should admit it. And he goes on this big convoluted trail that, you know, oh, well, it's more purchasing power. It's like, that's bullshit and you know it. Everybody knows if prices are up and you're making the same wage, I mean, I don't have to graduate from Harvard School of Economy or whatever to know that math doesn't. Math.
- [06:03]
C
You know, this is just. It's the propaganda that comes out of these administrations and the disastrous record that Donald Trump is an individual and as a businessman, as is and as a president has had pertaining to economic issues, he's really undefeated in everything he touches up.
- [06:23]
B
Yeah, everything.
- [06:24]
C
Whether it's his trust fund, his casinos, his stakes, all of these things. And right now, this administration is involved in shakedowns. He is shaking everyone down, whether it be universities and a humiliation exercise, whether it be executives and all of these people that have bent the knee to him, their names are going to remain. And I'm specifically laser focused on the people who are donating to the ballroom because they have been told that their name can be etched in the ballroom. And I'm very interested in these names making it into history books. The people who benefited from. From unregulated capitalism that exploited working Americans wages, that fought hard so that these people couldn't join unions and get health insurance and earn a livable wage and get paid time off. These billionaires that are not that have no gratitude, to quote J.D. vance, did they ever say thank you? Instead, they're thanking a guy who makes it even easier for them. And they want to put their name in this fascist regimes. Marie Antoinette, DL Demon Queen. I'm going to blare the Phantom Opera while I give Bubba a blowjob in the corner. You want to put your name in that ballroom? Good, because your name is going to go in a history book as a rich Person that exploited everyday working Americans so that you could kiss a man that has dementia so that you could kiss his ass, because that's how morally broken you are. So I say keep doing this shit. You know what? Let's just, let's see who has integrity, who has a backbone, who is principled in this country. Let's just see it. Let's keep going. Because we're going to sit here at this mic to the bitter end of it. Let's see how many people fall to this man right here, who is a side hustle gives people named Bubba a blowjob. I'm going to keep that at the top of the news cycle.

B
Not to mention yesterday, Trump was telling McDonald's franchisee owners that how they can.
- [08:30]
C
They have to.
- [08:30]
B
They're going to have to fight to keep the minimum wage lower. He does not give a shit about the working class.
- [08:38]
C
I want to say something about that. This is something that is so horrifically American that businessmen, white rich people get off on paying people low wages. Jeff Bezos famously, you know, prevented a lot of people from Amazon from unionizing. And imagine being that rich. You've got a bank account that could choke a whole field full of bulls. All right, Wouldn't you want your mark on your company to be that? I actually paid my employees a livable wage. They were able to get raises and I was still rich as. But no, the Waltons, the Bezos, the Elon Musk, these people get rewarded. The shittier they treat people, the more the system rewards them. And that is something that is uniquely American. And it is something led us to this fascist moment. And it is disgusting the way people exploit working class people in this country and how it's celebrated that a president of the United states would tell McDonald's franchisees to fight raising the minimum wage so that they can make a little bit more. Which brings me to that In N Out burger chick, which I'm still madder in hell about. This woman is worth 7, $8 billion. Made all of her money in California, is upset because Californ has labor laws that are more favorable to the worker. And she's packed her toys up and says she's moving to Tennessee because she doesn't. It's too difficult for her to do business if you're worth $8 billion. Sit down, shut the fuck up, and take care of your employees and quit exploiting people. I'm so sick of this component of Republican policies while at the same time they're big Jesus people. It is such a scam. And I've had it with it. All right you guys, we are full blown going from fall to winter. I love layering. I just recently moved to New York City so I've had to buy a lot of new pieces. I personally love quinces, Mongolian cashmere sweaters and they start at just $50. Also you guys these are great gifts for the people in your lives. A little 50 Mongolian cashmere sweater under the tree.

B
Well, not to mention they have they demonize poor people. They demonize people that make $7.25 an hour and call them lazy and want to remove SNAP benefits and healthcare options because the owners will not pay them a livable wage. Which brings me to the last video of Dr. Oz saying if you want lower health insurance as 20 million Americans will no longer be able to afford health insurance because of the Republicans. Just be healthy.
- [12:21]
E
Obesity by itself. Peter drives probably a quarter of all health care expenses. So if you really want to drop the cost of health care in America, get healthier. By the way, your green room. This is non maha. All these snacks. This is all they have back there. Oh no, this and water. But, but, but but.
- [12:37]
B
Does he say it is more expensive to buy fruits and vegetables than junk? The provisions of SNAP do not allow someone to buy the healthiest, most organic, top of the food chain vegetables and fruits. They are forced because of prices to buy junk and it makes me so mad that they demonize poor people that are working fighting to keep their wages low and then this prick.

Well here's the thing about Dr. Oz. All of these people in the Trump administration are going to find out sooner than later. Dr. Oz is a Muslim and he is operating in an administration that is a big tent of bigotry, a big tent of anti Semitism, a big tent of Islamophobia, a big tent of misogyny, a big tent of just straight up racism towards black people. I mean pre 1960s style racism towards black people. The anti immigrant bigotry is abhorrent and completely parallel and reminiscent with Nazi Germany, period. Don't ask me as J.D. vance, he's the one that compared kinks to Hitler. Spotted it initially. But all of these people are going to find out very quickly. You're not safe. You're not the special Muslim Scott Bessant, you're not the magic homosexual. Pam, Bonnie, you're not the special female. All of you are in the sights of the Heritage Foundation. And the Heritage foundation just proved they don't give a fuck about anti Semitism or Jewish people. They proved it. They came out. This Heritage foundation long predates Donald Trump with this agenda. They just are using him to go put their WASP white supremacist ruled by white Christian man government in place. So all of these players in here right now are playing stupid games and they're going to win stupid prizes. If you think you can join a party based on anti science and you're a doctor, you're a dipshit. But if also you think you can join a party that is based on bigotry and you are a Muslim and at some point they're not going to turn the knives at you, you're a bigger dipshit than is ever imaginable. The big tent of MAGA is the big tent of racists. And the far right Jewish groups are finding out right now how transactional they were to the electorate and all of these other Latinos for Trump have already found out and this guy's shedding support left and right. But I think it's incredibly important in the autopsy of all of this that we take a at the the way we treat human rights and the way we try to prioritize certain human rights over other human rights and the voices that rise up from the Democratic Party that that's why I'm not buying any of Marjorie Taylor Greene's rebranding to her because she's cherry picking what human rights she wants to care about. When you hear the Zoran Mamdanis speak and they don't take corporate PAC money and they speak about bigotry and they connect all of those forms of bigotry on the same playing field. You're talking serious person that understands the problem when you deal with a Cory Booker within the Democratic Party that only prioritizes antisemitism and then doesn't listen to Islamophobia and also capitulates to an administration that engages in full blown misogyny all day every day, calling a reporter a piggy and all this stuff. You don't have credibility. So it's going to be interesting as we watch the aftermath of this, where all the chips fall, because those are the things that we need to look for in leaders not beholden to packs. And where are you on human rights? If they start talking about throwing some group under the bus, run for your life. Because they're no different than. Than what we're being sold right now.
