The news cycles have been almost traumatizing. It's been really difficult for Angie and I to get up, read all of the news that's going on and then report on it because you're seeing so much human suffering, from Iran to Minneapolis to international provocations around the world. And this first video I want to show you is something that I think should be the gold standard or the bare minimum. Anywhere from the bare minimum minimum to the gold standard of every Democratic politician and or Republican moderate politician that cares about civil liberties and the United States of America in the Constitution. Senator Chris Van Hollen. Play the clip.

We bet we are. That is why all of you are here. And one of the most lawless, one of the most obscene examples of this administration's abuse against the people of this country is what's happening at the Department of Homeland Security and ice. They lie. They have no respect for the truth. They send mass people out into neighborhoods all over the country. These are people like Kristi Noem, directed by people like Stephen Miller, people like J.D. vance, who was lying through his teeth the other day. And of course, headed by the liar in chief, the lawbreaker in chief, Donald Trump.

Okay, hear me out, you guys, on this. I think for 2028, there is going to be somebody that has moral clarity, that isn't corporately compromised, that is going to rise above all of the front runners like Gavin Newsom, who is fighting for billionaires right now as we speak. He is fighting tooth and nail against the billionaire tax. He's going to lose the base doing stuff like that. I like his fight against Trump. I like the trolling of Trump. I don't like that. I think that if you're showing us, Gavin, that you are for billionaires, the same billionaires that get all these government subsidies, who are whining and feel so pressed about having to pay taxes. I don't think you're going to be the nominee. I think it's going to be some person like this, a truth teller who gets on camera and confirms what your eyes see and what your ears hear and calls out. He just did a roll call of all of the homicidal sociopaths in the middle of this regime. And I want to remind you that there is a huge portion of the electorate, of course, that they're like, totally in the cult. They're totally in the mag cult. But there's a huge portion of that 77 million that voted for Trump, that care about business. They justify their votes for these morally depraved candidates because they say I'm a businessman or my husband's a businessman, or I'm a businesswoman, and we care about business. And this administration, with the use of tariffs and the destabilization globally meddling in global world events, not in a democratic, free market kind of way, but in a shakedown, pay to play kind of way, is now doing things that are going to harm the World cup, which is supposed to be an absolute windfall. The US State Department is pausing immigrant visas on 15 of the 42 teams that have already qualified for this year's World Cup. So, you know, here's the thing. Like, we're supposed to have host the World cup and remember the FIFA president that made Donald Trump like a FIFA Peace Prize? I think there was an instance where like Trump stole the trophy and then they made him another trophy, and then he was on stage with all those soccer players. This is something that Trump really, really cares about. But the people who are running the government, Mr. Prime Minister, as they call him, or I call him Mr. Nazi in Chief, Stephen Miller, he didn't give a shit about the World Cup. He cares about being cruel and denying access to black and brown people that he deems beneath him. And this is a world where all of these things are colliding. You have these white Christian nationalists, you have just an absolute racist, homicidal Hitler wannabe. And Stephen Miller that's combining with all of these oligarchs. What's the through line with all of this? These are all really wealthy people and they feel oppressed. They feel like they are being oppressed by working class people. So think about that. So between twee about Nazi content, Elon Musk has taken a break yesterday. Just a little respite. And he tweets the following. So Avery Day tweets, we're all slaves to the bottom, bottom 10% of society, far more than we are to the top 1%. I'm tired of our country being held hostage by thugs and Elon Musk as the bullseye emoji. So let me just say that imagine, imagine being the world's first trillionaire, getting all of these government subsidies and feeling that oppressed and actually like making a record of how insecure you are and making a public record that you think the bottom 10% of the world is oppressing you. It's wild. And so this is just a reminder, number one, that Elon Musk himself is an immigrant. It's important that we always point that out. And number two, that he is a corporate welfare queen. Pop this up, Kylie. Okay? So Elon Musk business empire is built on 38 billion in government funding. And Warren Gunnels tweets, Elon Musk, the South African immigrant got over 38 billion in corporate welfare from US taxpayers. The immigrant that has been deemed most likely to need public assistance distance is Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, worth 716 billion. Musk is the quintessential welfare queen and he's the world's biggest titty baby victim. He feels oppressed. He feels like the poorest people in the world are oppressing him. And I want to remind you that this man, his legacy will forever be number one, being a whining, complaining, low tide titty baby all over his social media website. And number two, the richest man in the world that killed the poorest people in the world. And so these oligarchs and this ass kissing from the FIFA president to Elon Musk, they are not going to be satisfied with dismantling American democracy. They've already set their sights on Europe. Kylie popped this up. Meta, Microsoft and Google are all coordinating with the European far right in order to dismantle EU digital laws designed to protect citizens. According to a new report, a recent American government strategy outlined regime change plans to support the far right. So as you know, when Elon Musk isn't retweeting Holocaust deniers and outright anti Semitic horror on his website, he's also going after the UK and the eu. This is echoed by JD Vance. JD Vance is the America's biggest political prostitute. He is bought and paid for by these tech oligarchs and he is their little young foot soldier that they all know that Donald Trump is a Trojan horse. Nobody takes him seriously. Most of all these people and they want to roll out jdvans after this. And it's not enough to dismantle American democracy, they want to go after Europe. So we used to have the competing and cooperation of democracies and now we have this new world order that is forming where it's the competition among autocrats and entangled in the American government are all of these oligarchs which the power that Donald Trump has given them just nothing short of greed and intellectual laziness on his part. And I want to show you they're now they're going after Greenland. This is their first provocation towards our NATO alliance. And of course everybody knows this is something Putin wants him to do, but they're completely hypocritical about green Greenland from the start. Pop this up. So Russia and us I joint Arctic Energy projects after Saudi talks, the first meeting since a bombshell call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin puts joint hydrocarbons projects back on the agenda as Ukraine watches from the sidelines and Joni Escola tweets. So Trump, the US President who wants joint energy projects in the Arctic with Russia and doesn't give military aid to Ukraine, wants us to believe the US Needs to own Greenland to defend itself with Russia. And I'm going to spare you all from the lie social post that the President put out yesterday, but it was we need Greenland to protect us from Russia and China. Like anybody thinks that that man that greeted Vladimir Putin clapping like a trained seal in Alaska, it's anything but Putin's ally. I mean, we all see it. I mean we all see the way you treated our ally Zelensky in the Oval Office. We all see how you roll out the red carpet for a war criminal and a murderous dictator. Vladimir Putin. Europe is taking this seriously, you guys. And so while the United States tries to play hypocritical with this, we have to protect ourselves from Russia. The whole thing is about these oligarchs getting the minerals from Greenland. They want Greenland. And Putin wants America to have Greenland because he wants to break up NATO. It is a long term goal of his. So what's going to happen now? I'll show you what's happening. This is utterly insane. The Netherlands and Canada have joined the mission to defend Greenland. And then here's France. Kylie popped this up. Emmanuel Macron says, at the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark and Greenland. Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow. And then Germany as well. Germany Newswire reports that Germany is deploying troops to Greenland. And Melanie D' Argio says it took 331 days of a Trump presidency to get a U.S. ally sending troops to defend another U.S. ally from the U.S. think about how insane this is that we are going to have Europeans fighting Americans in Greenland. And here's the thing with these people like Donald Trump is stubborn and obstinate. And now that he has his sights on that, he won't stop. And he got a taste of the how excellent the United States military is because God knows it has received the biggest budget of anything in the history of the world. And he watched live as they went and captured Maduro. And now he wants to go be a conqueror. And this is the personality type of all of these strong men. And for him it's about ego for these oligarchs, they have a little puppet, and it's Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin has this little puppet. And I want to remind you, Elon Musk, the same man who gets on his website and talks about how oppressed he is so oppressed, bottom 10%. You know, I don't. I don't know how they're oppressing him, but he feels like he is the most aggrieved oppressed on the planet. Right. It has been widely documented and reported and not denied by Elon Musk, that he and Vladimir Putin are friends and they have frequent conversations. And Elon Musk, you know, obviously is the one that outed Trump after they broke up. The reason Trump is not going to release the Epstein files is because he's in them. So we called his former boss a pedophile. But as Pumps and I reported, there appeared to be some mutually assured destruction between Trump and Musk. Well, now Musk has come out in the last two or three weeks, and he's going to fund Republicans so he can, quote, take the country back. And I'm like, take the country back from who? Y' all have everything. You have the presidency. You have the House, you have the Senate, you have the Supreme Court. You have everything. And you're still mad and you're still angry. And all this business, we vote Republicans because they're so good on business. You've got it. You went from being worth, I don't know, a couple hundred million, to now you're going to be the world's first trillionaire. You got everything you wanted. But here's the thing with these people that we have to understand, they want everything. And even when they get everything, it's still not going to be enough for them. And they are intentionally weakening the United States government because, as written, it gives the people the power to where? If we had four years of this with Trump, these egregious human rights violations, all of the, you know, horrific news conferences, the bastardization of the White House. I mean, I could go on and on for hours about all the this done, right? But if we don't like it, we can vote him out. And they don't want that. They want to dismantle democracy. They do not want Europe to exist, because it is an example that regulated capitalism keeps people safer, and they still have a lot of work to do. But regulated capitalism is not something that these oligarchs want people to see. They don't want the data to come out that in Europe, they, you know, removed all these sexual predators from Instagram and people are safer and blah, blah, blah. They don't want that data out there because they think the rules that apply to everybody else don't apply to them. And they have the most morally depraved, emotionally bankrupt, intellectually lazy slob, Donald Trump, that will do all of their work for them. But don't get it twisted. The people underneath him, Stephen Miller, he's not a dumbass. He is a diabolical freak show. And he and these oligarchs, they all have a lot of the same grievances, but I think they're swinging too big. I think that a lot of this is going to backfire. It's going to be interesting because the United States could reign economic hellfire on the United States by dumping treasuries and a lot of other things. So this calendar year up into the midterms, this news cycle is going to go from bad to worse, in my opinion. So let's keep our eyes on Green Greenland. My heart, my sincere heart goes out to all of the protesters in Iran. Similarly, all of the people being terrorized in our own country and shot by their own murderous regime in the United States of America. The people of Minneapolis, my heart goes out to you as well, because I believe in universal human rights and I believe that a secular democracy is the best place for people to find happiness and contentment. And this weird technocratic world that Elon Musk, you know, think about this, you guys. He has everything in the world, and he's still not happy. All right? So we know that the world that all of this technology provides is not going to make us happy either. That's all I have. Please, like, subscribe. And we will be back later with more news.
