The Democratic Party needs an opposition party that does not cede any ground. Zero ground. And you have seen Gavin Newsom arrive at the table ceding ground. I got into a conversation on our other podcast with Rahm Emanuel where he sits down at the table and seeds ground. We cannot cede any ground to this Trump regime. They are fascists, they are authoritarian and we're going to see rising stars pop up. Pete Buddha Judge did a three hour visit with the flagrant podcast, crushed it, didn't seed any ground. And now my new favorite right here, JB Pritzker. Let's listen to him take down maga.
Unknown Speaker 1
It's time for us to be done with optimism about their motives or their objectives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who know how to organize a group chat. It's time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children's cancer research. Yes, and time to stop thinking that we can reason or negotiate with a madman. Time to stop apologizing when we were not wrong. Time to stop surrendering when we need to fight. Our small businesses don't deserve to be bankrupted by unsustainable tariffs. Our retirees don't deserve to be left destitute by a Social Security administration decimated by Elon Musk. Our citizens don't deserve to lose health care coverage because Republicans want to hand a tax cut to billionaires. Our federal workers don't deserve to have, well, a 19 year old doge bro called big balls destroy their careers. Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don't deserve to be stigmatized by a weird Nepo baby who once stashed the dead bear in the backseat of his car.
Unknown Speaker 2
Okay, this man is a billionaire and he is the Democratic governor of the state of Illinois and he seeds zero ground. Zero ground. He calls out the hypocrisy of these women, these MAGA women wearing these crosses and then talking about deporting people, talking about taking away freedom funding for the poorest children in the world and they revel in it. This is the path forward. Any Democrat that I hear ceding moral ground and acting like we have to go on an apology tour because we lost an election by one point is insanity. We have to fight every inch of it and see zero ground to these diabolical, insane religious hypocrites. These people have ruined our country. They've been doing it for decades. These Christian nationalists have played played a long game they have all these private schools popped up all over the United States in our state right now. They're trying to get taxpayer money to fund these hate academies.
Unknown Speaker 3
I thought JB Pritzker did a masterful job. And you know what he did? He. He worked in facts and real talk, in plain speak. And I woke up to text messages from friends who aren't necessarily that political that said, why is he the only one doing this? Why is there such a small handful of Democrats that are willing to stand up? It's not that hard. They give a ton of. Of ammunition in maga. I mean, it's just one. Every single day, they give more ammunition. Good for JB Pritzker. We need more like him.
Unknown Speaker 2
Well, it's not just J.B. pritzker that needs to be standing out. And I've been saying this the last week or so. We have to have the private sector step out and talk like this. If your company is okay colluding with an administration that does Nazi salutes, Colluding with an administration that deports people without due process because you're too chicken shit to stand up to a man that wears orange makeup every single day. Your company has no conviction at all. You have made billions of dollars off of American taxpayers. Stand up for what's right for sake. And here's Pritzker. It's so easy for him here. He takes down every single cabinet member.
Unknown Speaker 1
We have a Secretary of Education who hates teachers and schools. We have a Secretary of Transportation who hates public transit. We have an Attorney General who hates the Constitution. We have a Secretary of State, the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees on a crusade to expel our country of both. We have a head of the Department of Government Efficiency, an immigrant granted the privilege of living and working here. A man who has made hundreds of billions of dollars after the government rescued his business for him. Who is looking to destroy the American middle class to fund tax cuts for himself. And we have a president who claims to love America, but who hates our military so much that he calls them losers and suckers. And who can't be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.
Unknown Speaker 2
I mean, that is the way right there. That is the shit that Fox News would have never let go if a Biden or an Obama didn't greet fallen soldiers and went and played golf instead. They would have completely lost their minds. This MAGA movement is the most evil, diabolical, toxic movement this country has ever seen. And the world is responding accordingly. And if you think about the MAGA people in your life. Think about them. They're the most toxic people in your life. This is a toxic movement. And we as a nation, those of us that believe in human decency, those of us that believe in democracy, those of us that believe that the Constitution and the First Amendment is for everybody, no matter what your gender is, no matter how you identify your gender, no matter what country you were born in, that you're entitled to free speech and you're entitled to due process. And if these MAGA Christians with their big crosses don't believe in that shit, that's fine. You're going to be on the wrong side of history. But I support this. I support this so much. And I'm so sick of a few people in the Democratic Party trotting out like there are centrist saviors. We're going to walk up to the negotiating table and seed ground and throw marginalized people under the bus. It is bullshit. It is unacceptable. And the private sector needs to step up and step up soon because this, the clock is ticking and they are about to take this whole thing down this fascist toilet and we have got to stand up. And I just comm JB Pritzker for the clean, clear and concise language he's using and calling out the moral depravity of these MAGA cultists. These people are toxic. They are evil. And don't let anybody tell you any differently. If somebody voted for Trump three times, they are morally flawed and toxic, full stop. There's no other explanation for it. And trying to reach out to them and apologize for them is total bullshit.
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, it's inexcusable. It's a difference of morals. It's not political anymore. But this whole J.B. pritzker speech reminded me when Tim Walls said weird and it caught on. This is plain speak. Everybody understand, it's good for him. Stay with it. We can't let the Democratic, you know, talking heads change the message, which is these people are diabolical.
Unknown Speaker 2
They are completely toxic and diabolical. And they're in this right wing media cult. And Fox News is providing cover for and, and the right wing media echo chamber. And it's just, it's horrific. Okay, here's. I want to pick on the Democratic Party a little bit because if we're going to get out of this, we have to be honest about all of the members of it. You may remember Representative Gerry Connolly, and he was running for the Oversight Committee, which is supposed to oversee a lot of the nefarious shit that Trump is doing well. He had a cancer diagnosis before he put his name in the hat and he barely beat Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who I might remind everybody is out traveling in red states drawing in tens of thousands of people that are fed up with the system being rigged for corporations that can't even get in front of the camera and say one bad thing about Trump. And so Gerry Connolly, four months after he gets this and after the Democrats vote him and put this up, he, he wants to begin by thanking for good wishes and compassion and he had his cancer is and he's now resigning as a ranking member of this committee just four months later. I have an idea Democrats, if we have a guy that's in their, in his 70s and has cancer, which I have empathy for him for having cancer, you need to get out of the House of Representatives. This is completely insane. But nothing pisses me off more than Chuck Schumer. This guy is, I don't know what his deal is, but he needs to resign from the Senate, pass the torch to Chris Murphy, somebody who is not gaslighting the public, who tells everybody every single day what Donald Trump is doing is fascist, authoritarian and broken. Listen to Chuck, listen to his response, how he stands up to Trump.
Unknown Speaker 4
Listen to this tough guy hurt every American. It's going to hurt the kids at the universities who've had nothing to do with protesting but it's also going to hurt the kind of medical research and other kinds of great research that is done at Harvard and other universities. So we sent him a very strong letter just the other day tell asking eight very strong questions about why this isn't just a pretext. Well, you'll let us know if you get a response.
Unknown Speaker 2
A very strong letter with eight very strong questions. I mean that is so breathtakingly pathetic. And we have to get these type of do nothing Democrats out. We don't need somebody who steps up to fascists and goes the way of Neville Chamberlain. We need to fight every ounce of this and appease zero. We were not wrong in the last election. The political landscape with a right wing media echo chamber that is massive. It is so massive. And a dumbed down electorate that feasts on hate, racism. And then all the while all Trump has to do is say we're going to strongly support Jesus and we're going to bring back religion in a very strong way. Well, it sounds like Chuck Schumer. He's writing strong letters and strong questions. It's, it's all. And I'm tired of these do nothing Democrats I wish Chuck Schumer would step down. Step down immediately. Pass the torch to Chris Murphy, somebody who can actually fight.
Unknown Speaker 3
I completely agree. The strongly worded letter, you know what they say to that? Fuck you. These people have no interest in doing decency, rule of law, transparency. What they need are subpoenas. And I agree with you. Chuck Schumer, step aside.
Unknown Speaker 2
Hit the bricks. I mean, he needs to hit the bricks. Lastly, here's just a little. I thought this was an enjoyable thing. I'm going to leave you with this. Here's Fox News. And notice the entertainer. Watch her face palm at the beginning of this as they go over Trump's polling numbers.
Unknown Speaker 5
This is President Trump's job approval rating on taxes, 38% approved. 53% disapproved. This Fox News polling, 38% on the economy approved, 56% disapproved, 33% on inflation. We know this was hugely election, 59% disapprove. But Scott Bassett had a, a very important message as the 100 day mark approaches on all of that. Listen, from this morning we've got a.
Unknown Speaker 4
Three legged stool here. It's trade, it's tax, it's deregulation. President Trump has come out of the blocks roaring. And I think this is something new for the American people. We're going to continue to make the US the best destination for capital in the world.
Unknown Speaker 2
This is something new for the American people. It's something very new having an incompetent convicted felon be elected to be president of the United States and intentionally take a grenade like this, pull out the pen and just stand there and say, no, we're all going to go, we're all going to go through hardships. We're all going to do this together. It is a cult. These people are depraved. Hillary Clinton was right. They are a basket of deplorables and she didn't go far enough. Call out the religious hypocrites. Call out the Democrats that don't have the balls to stand up. Call out the private sector that's too chicken shit to stand up to. Donald Trump is dismantling their dei, leaving out one of the most beautiful parts of what America, America is, is our diversity. And if these white people get upset because they live around black people, I'm going to say what you all say to people in the Facebook move because this is a multicultural country and they're not going anywhere and we're not going anywhere. And the people that need to sit down and shut the up are the Chuck Schumers of the world because this is not helpful. All right, subscribe to our channel and we'll see you all soon.
