Host
Good morning. Donald Trump's 250th hijack of the country's celebration was every bit a disaster you would think it would be. Here he is saying some crazy stuff. Play the clip. As our Declaration of Independence tells us,

of one almighty God.

Co-host/Commentator Angie
Pops, it's just unbelievable. He doesn't even know what the Declaration of Independence says. He makes his point with his crazy religious fanatics. It's so gross that the President of the United States, who is a nut, can't even tell you what the Declaration of Independence says.
- [02:01]
Host
I think all of this is intentional. And this is Christian signaling. This is. They are pushing this Christian nationalist agenda. He knows what it says. The people surrounding him knows what it says. He doesn't get plausible deniability in any of this. This is intentional cut stemming from Project 2025 trickling down to Christian signal to the religious base that Christianity and the United States of America are melding into one and it's good versus evil and we're the good guys. And then, then you have the libtard evil Democrats. And of course he does have late stage dementia slash major health problems. Here he is falling asleep during his fireworks show. Okay, and you guys, this fireworks show was so ridiculous. It looked like the apocalypse. It looked like somebody nuked D.C. it wasn't even. There were. There were so many clustered together. It was like a junkie that was like, yes, let's set up all these fireworks as we can. Did you see the video of it, Angie?
- [03:05]
Co-host/Commentator Angie
Yeah. It was so embarrassing. When I look at, though, who he. He hijacked the whole planning commission for Project or for Freedom250 and made it all his goons. And of course, as per usual, they're incompetent. He hires people that are loyal to him that are completely incompetent to do their jobs always.
- [03:29]
Host
All right, and here we have. So let me backtrack here. So all of these people show up for the fireworks show, and as Mother Nature would have it, huge thunderstorm blows in, and these people have been told the rules don't apply to you. They don't apply to our. Apply to our leader, and they don't apply to you. So the D.C. police, Secret Service, etc. Like, thunderstorms are coming in. You all need to move. And they're like, you don't get to tell us what to do anymore. This is Trump's America. And, like, all the people that are telling them to do this are just doing their jobs. So he has really taught his followers, through his own dodging of accountability via the Supreme Court, not only can I get away with everything, you can also get away with everything. Which is going to be pretty interesting to see this dynamic play out, because Trump and the oligarchs are trying to create a techno fascist system where they control the people, where they keep everybody in line. At the same time, they're showing everybody, oh, the rules don't apply anymore. You can buy a pardon, you can get away with this. You can enrich that. Well, nonetheless, it's a huge show, okay? Huge show. So they finally get some people to leave, and then some people leave permanently, and then don't come back for the apocalyptic fire show. And then, of course, Trump has to try to explain the crowd differential. And here's Ben Mysalis unpackaging all of his lies. Play the clip.
- [04:59]
Ben Mysalis
Crowd was empty. I mean, did you see all of the empty seats right there? Donald Trump claimed there was going to be 375,000 people, but then only 150,000 people could show up because of the weather. Not anywhere near a fraction of that. I mean, look at the empty seats here. Here's just another angle of the empty seats. You can see barely anybody was even there. But Donald Trump wanted everybody to know. I'm here, I'm here, he said before he Showed up. The thing was delayed.
- [05:32]
Co-host/Commentator Angie
You know, here's the thing about it. This is a man that anytime he goes out in public, he has to gaslight you. That everybody was there. Everybody was there. It was so crowded. Fox News is broadcasting the entire week before the 4th at this great American state fair. There weren't 100 people in the frame at a time. And they're saying it's a thousand people. This tells me, and you have been saying this, and I've been cautiously optimistic, but we're down to the cult and there's more of us than there are of them. But of course, he's going to spiral about crowd size. And I love nothing more than him spiraling over crowd size.
- [06:12]
Host
I want to say something even bolder. There's always been more of us than there are of them. It's always been that we have very low voter turnout. So when you say 30%, it's not 30% of the entire United States of America that supports him. These are likely andor registered voters. What beat Kamala Harris was the sofa. People set it out like, remember your son, he said he wasn't going to vote. My tennis instructor, he said he wasn't going to vote. And this is what drove. This is what causes a minority rule. And we've always had minority rule with the way the United States is set up. Because if you think about the United States Senate, for example, our home state of Oklahoma, 3,4 million people population, 2 senators, worthless senators. One was Mark Wayne Mullen, who everybody knows now, Senator Booster Box is running Big Titty, Brian's ex wife's job or current wife job, whatever, whatever their situation is. Right. And then the other one. What's that weirdo guy's name, Angie?
- [07:15]
Co-host/Commentator Angie
The other senator, what's his name? Lankford.
- [07:19]
Host
James Lankford, who's completely worthless. And so only that much representation in the Senate, and then you get to a big state like California, 60 million people people. And you know, we have two senators there. So it's always been minority rule. When you look at the Supreme Court justices, so many of them were appointed by leaders, by presidents who didn't even win the majority population. Even this last election, Trump didn't win a majority. He was under 50%. And so it's always been minority rule. And so when we're down to the cultists, these are people, no doubt the oligarchs paid to bus in. Trump had a whole committee to buy people's tickets to get them there. I doubt just a bunch of people on their own. Volition now, there are some, of course, but it's always been minority rule. He cannot get people to turn up for anything. This is why he moves his inauguration inside. And then, of course, something I think is really brewing inside of maga, and it is the white nationalism, the Christian nationalism, and it keeps popping up all the time, and no Republican leader ever condemns it, ever. So on this morning of July 4th, you have a true American form, and this is a part of our culture. Sadly, white nationalists that have to cover their face because they're such submissive men, and they go, march on the Capitol, pop this up. So here they are. You know, these are the same people that freaked out about COVID masks, and then it's all white men with their grievances. And I think what they fear more than anything is having politicians that maybe have weird names or darker skin. They believe the United States of America is for them, is rigged for them, should be for them. Stephen Miller and this group right here, there's no daylight in their personal ethos.

Co-host/Commentator Angie
I just. When I saw this, I thought, of course, this is exactly who would be marching there. And it made me really sad. But in another way, it was like, good, let everybody see who these Republicans are, because like you said, they're not going to come out against him. Trump's not going to come out against him. And the majority of Americans think this is absolutely abhorrent. So I'm hoping this display that we saw will wake people up. We have a racism problem. We have white supremacists in office, and we need to get out and stop it at the voting booth.
- [10:07]
Host
I think that this isn't going to wake anybody up. I mean, this has been going on since Charlottesville.
- [10:13]
Co-host/Commentator Angie
I know.
- [10:14]
Host
It takes. It takes allies, white allies, combining together with our black brothers and sisters, standing up against ICE being. It starts on a local level. And sadly, so many people don't have the strength to do that. They passively allow these. These mindsets, these statements in their personal lives. And now Trump has normalized this. This is completely normalized. When he was asked about the white supremacist group on the debate stage. Stand back, stand by. And then you had Charlottesville, and then you just continues on and on. To me, this isn't an awakening. This isn't a continuation. This is a normalization. These guys knew that they could do this. They knew that the Republicans were not going to stand up and condemn them, and they do it with impunity. And we do not see mass outrage. We do not see groups of people forming Alliances that stand up distinctly and succinctly against this. My fear is I wish people would wake up, but it's a. It's a continued normalization of it. And this photograph is just so troubling to me. And incredible photojournalism, by the way, to the photographer who snapped this image. Because sometimes images really define an era. Just a. A screen, just a. A singular image. And here is a black woman on a bus in D.C. with all of these white nationalists hiding their faces with sunglasses on, all dressed the same because they don't have any original thought. They want everybody to think the same way they are. They want everybody to be the same person they are. And here she is, sitting there bravely around all of these people. And America boils down to this. Are you the person that sits with that girl and stands up for that girl in private conversations, in public conversations, in everything that you do, or are you part of a system that protects those men? And that's what it boils down to. And there are people who overtly and loudly stand up against racism, and then there's the lower expectations where people just allow bigotry all around them. And this is a uniquely American tradition where black people are always the punching bag. And to think that that picture was taken in 2026 and not in the 60s or previous is really, to me, a defining image of Donald Trump's maga. That you don't have one Republican that has stood up in outrage over that, because what he has done has said, you know what? It's okay now. We don't have to keep our feelings inside anymore. All of the woke. All of the DEI stuff is just white people saying, you need to cancel all of that stuff because we refuse to treat people fairly. Or to go back to Trump's original lying about the Declaration of Independence, that we're all created equal or something. And he, Donald Trump and his core base followers really, really enjoy racism. They enjoy the recreational cruelty, and they are all surrounded by people that enjoy recreational cruelty. These people are able to do these things. I know this from living in the Bible Belt, with impunity. They are able to be racist with impunity. And it's always happened in small, private settings, and now it is broken out and it is complet public, and there is no leadership in our country that is standing up for black Americans right now. And it's just really troubling to see this happening.
- [14:24]
Co-host/Commentator Angie
No, I agree. And I just. I think that that woman who's sitting there, like you said, she had a ton of courage. But I'm just, I am so appalled by the like, they just walk in, we're big. We're going to do this because we're big strong boys in their fucking masks. Just like the KKK with their mask, just like ice with their mask. They want to do evil shit, but they don't want it to come back on them personally. Which again, accountability. Donald Trump, as you said earlier, does not allow accountability because everybody gets away with everything.
