Well, and they clearly, over and over and over again, we see them voting for Donald Trump because they don't want him to be mad at them versus their own constituents. They are putting the interests of Donald Trump over their own.

Host (4:46)

What stuck out to me about that.

Co-host (4:47)

Is he's social media posts and legal pundits. I mean, he does not surround himself with expertise, nor does he read briefings. He reads social media. He says it right there. It's so appalling that he's the President of the United States.

Host (5:02)

Yeah. And, you know, we all knew this because from Trump 1.0, the people that left his administration, they called him Hitler, they called him a fascist, they called him a Nazi. And these were right wingers. I mean, these were conservatives. And so now what you have are the bottom feeders. This is the rise of the bottom feeders, because Donald Trump lives in the gutter. And the decent people that were around him and Trump 1.0, whom I disagreed with politically, they cared about the country more than they did this man's ego. And now he's surrounded by people that are egomaniacs for his ego, which is crazy. All right? Then he puts up a tweet afterwards letting Bondi know he loves her. Pam Bondi is doing great job as Attorney General of the United States. She's very careful, she's smart, blah, blah, blah. He'll. He's going to be nominating Lindsay Halligan to be the United States Attorney Attorney in this very important part of our great country. She'll be fair and smart. Desperately needed justice for all. What Lindsay's going to do is she's going to cook the books, manufacture evidence for him to be able to incarcerate his enemies. Leticia James. James Comer, Adam Schiff. This is as serious as it gets. And will the Republican colleagues of Adam Schiff stand up? And will there be a big hearing about this today? No. Nope, there won't be. Because these men are through and through. Their number one thing every day is to not piss off this demented, deranged man. And then once you capitulate to that, everything else that you do in your day doesn't matter because you have no conviction. All right, next up here is just a typical day in Trump's America. In September. Put up this tweet. Ned Price tweets. On a single Saturday in September, Trump instructed his AG to go after specific potential enemies. We learned that his DOJ ended an investigation into his border czar, who was caught on camera taking a $50 cash bribe. His Pentagon top brass threatened to expel journalists who report info not cleared by them. His White House spoke to a shady deal that will see TikTok in the hands of a consortium of GOP mega donors. Trump threatened bad things if we don't retake Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. I think he wants the guy seeking the Nobel Peace Prize that's doing this. His most senior counterterrorism official is in a Twitter spat with Laura Loomer. None of this is normal. All of it is dangerous and corrosive to our democracy. And here is about this Tom Homan bribe. Put this up, Kylie. NBC reported that on September 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at the meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills and apparently it was in a cava to go sack, according to an internal summary of the case and sources. So the FBI has this guy on tape accepting a bribe and that if he gets into the Trump administration that he will curry favor. And of course, Pam Bondi killed the thing. He, she killed it. And then people on the right said, we don't care. We love Tom Home. And this is the guy who alligator Alcatraz deporting people without due process. I cannot impress upon the viewer and the listener enough how damaging this kind of stuff is for every aspect of our country, not only human rights, but for those of you that are big fiscal people, this type of stuff will erode our economy. When we do not have good courts and we do not have a good Justice Department. Investors will flee. This is utter Insanity.

Co-host (9:03)

We always have talked about that. It's a prerequisite to have some type of sexual abuse, whether it be women or children in your record to work for the Trump administration. Turns out fraud and bribes, that's all required too. And then I was thinking about when I saw this. You would have to be have a criminal mindset to work for a criminal to see all of the things he's doing against the Constitution and say I'm fucking in. To take people off the street from their families, put them in concentration camps. You're not right. And that's who is running our country. Soup to nuts.

Host (9:40)

And a, a very underreported issue right now is a lot of people that were in Alligator Alcatraz are gone. Nobody knows where they are. I've read a couple of articles on it and I intend to do more research on it. But about 1800 people are completely missing that were in Alligator Alcatraz and now they are gone. There's no record of them. So this is incredibly alarming and this is the stuff that's happening with the pro Jesus, Pro Life party. This is it. It's. I cannot impress upon everybody enough how important it is that we call out the religious hypocrisy of these people in our personal lives and in the government, because this will erode every thing that we have in this country. And it's happening at such a quick, alarming rate. And then I just want to bring you to this. This is a quote that struck me and I thought this was so good. Agent Self, FBI quoted Bradley Whitford. When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards. And boy have we witnessed that. The cowardice of the men that are the least vulnerable to stand up for those that are vulnerable has been so incredibly disgusting. And here's what's going to happen to all of the ass kissers, all of these oligarchs, and all of these billionaires millionaires that kiss the ass of Donald Trump. At some point, the knives of this government will turn towards you. Even though you're a billionaire, even though you created cool things, even though you are can go into the White House and give him a trophy. Now, at some point, you will not be safe either. Look no further than all of the other dictatorships and authoritarian regimes around the world. The oligarchs curry favor initially and then they start falling out of windows next. All right, that's all we have for this episode. We'll be back later. With more news.
