The convicted felon president of the United States of America has a problem with an untreated drug, drug addict that he allowed to buy him, purchase him. And they have some sort of mutually assured destruction agreement. And this man, Elon Musk, not American, born in South Africa, comes over here, gets all these government subsidies, is an American made American funded billionaire, runs around tripping balls on ketamine, literally. Watch this clip. What are we doing? What are we doing here? Literally four months ago, I felt safe as an American. I felt like I could walk on an airplane. And that Pete Buttigieg made sure that that was in check. I knew that the federal government were testing things that needed to be tested for my safety. And they were trying to make decisions that stabilized the American economy. Maybe it wasn't perfect, maybe it wasn't everything that I wanted, but I didn't have to worry about an untreated drug addict running around the camera while he's literally tripping balls on ketamine while he's dismantling our government. And let's not forget, he let his little goon squad hack into stuff and give it all to Russia, which I think constitutes, call me crazy, but in the America I lived in four months ago, that's immediately you get arrested and charged with treason, right?
Political Commentator 2
No.
Political Commentator 1
What happened to that?
Political Commentator 2
It's insane, the lack of accountability that this dough, it's not even a government agency. There is no oversight. I mean, Russia's running around with our secrets. They're hacking into all the privacy stuff. He's tripping on balls, impregnating people off Twitter. And it's like everybody's acting like it's normal. It's not normal people.
Political Commentator 1
And that's right, he is shopping as his side hustle project on X that he owns, formerly Twitter for baby mamas. And he is breeding because he doesn't feel the responsibility whatsoever that having a child is. This is insane. And I just don't know what happened to the country that we used to live in where somebody is engaging in treasonous espionage. They would immediately get arrested. And nobody seems to be talking about that like this man should be arrested. Next up, we have Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, and she is kind of breaking through a bit. Let's watch this clip.
Senator Lisa Murkowski
People who are afraid or who represent people who are afraid, we are all afraid, okay? But we are. We're in a time and a place where. I don't know. I certainly have not. I have not been here before. And I'll tell you, I'm.
Political Commentator 2
I'm.
Senator Lisa Murkowski
Oftentimes very anxious myself about. About using my voice, because retaliation is real, and that's not right.
Political Commentator 1
Okay, that's all the more reason to use your voice. This is a moment in history where people are going to stand up and do the right thing. And it. What is she worried about? Retaliation? That she's not going to win again? Or is it something more sinister that they're going to prosecute her? Whatever that fear is, she needs to state it. And she needs to start calling out other Republican senators with whom she's had private conversations that say, the shit that Musk and Trump are doing is illegal, legal against the Constitution. This is not a time to have a microphone to say, I'm really scared of retaliation.
Political Commentator 2
No, absolutely. I thought this was. I mean, yes, I'm happy to see a Republican is recognizing it, but what she should be saying is, Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. Russia is running the United States of America through Donald Trump. Elon Musk is savage, savagely going through and breaking down the American government. We need to impeach Donald Trump. Pam Bondi, I mean, the list goes on. And I don't think there's anybody more protected than a United States senator. I mean, she has every protection you could ever want. And so for her to say, well, I'm scared, too, Lisa, use your voice. This is a time stand up for democracy. I don't want to hear that you're scared. I want to hear that you're fighting.
Political Commentator 1
I couldn't agree more. And I think it's time for moderate Republicans like her that have the conviction and the clarity and the decency and the dignity to stand up and say, I'm not going to be bullied because the Constitution still exists, and I'm going to fight for it. This is not about red versus blue, Republicans versus Democrats. This is something that's entirely different. The American government has kidnapped somebody who was here legally, who joined a union, had been here for 15 years, and shipped him to a concentration camp. How are the people that did that not arrested? Right? How. How is Elon Musk not arrested? How are the people who engaged in this not arrested? But I'll tell you what they're doing is they are embarrassing themselves on the world stage. The JD Vances and the Donald Trumps. Because in their macho, I'm an insecure man trying to act like I'm not insecure. MAGA bubble world, all this tough guy, immature shit works. It works in that little segment of American culture. When you take it outside of the American culture and you put it on the national stage, it go over like a lead balloon and people call it out for being immature, indecent, profoundly sophomoric. And this is what a Chinese attorney has to say about JD Vance calling Chinese workers peasants. Oh, the, the comments from the Vice President J.D. vance calling the Chinese peasants.
Chinese Lawyer
How does, where does that leave us? China relations and any sort of talks.
Political Commentator 1
Between the two presidents, do you think?
Chinese Lawyer
Allow me to be very brief. J.D. vance and I went to the same law school, your law school. I was 20 years ahead of him, and I'm ashamed for the ignorance and the bigotry he demonstrated because he called China the peasants. The peasants financed them, the peasants sold them goods. Let me just make one simple point. The middle class in China is larger than the total population in the United States. The urban population in China is about three times as big as the total population of the United States. So my advice to my alumni at Yale Law School, J.D. vance, is Wake up or you go back to school to study more diligently, to avoid making yourself a fool in front of the world.
Political Commentator 1
And he's exactly right. And this kind of stuff, us playing this clip and saying that this Chinese lawyer is 100% correct in calling out the childish and undipping diplomatic, embarrassing manner that these MAGA men talk. People in the right wing bubble would say, oh, those I've had it. Women are pro China because they don't understand nuance. And they've shot down critical thinking. What we're, what we're fighting for here is that we used to have a government that believed in diplomacy. You don't just demean an entire country of working class people while at the same time you're saying, wait, we want manufacturing jobs, right? We want our workers, our workforce to have those style of jobs. Meanwhile, that same party, the same MAGA party is anti union. They don't want anybody to have health care. They don't want to raise the minimum wage. So all these jobs they're saying they're going to bring back here for you. It's a projection thing. They want American workers to be peasants. There's always this Freudian, deep projection style psychology with these guys. And I think the world leaders need to continue calling out this illegal, immoral, indecent, undiploated diplomatic administration that is ascended to the top of the United States of America because I don't believe in this and I don't stand for this. The human rights violations and the way they demean other people is just a nasty cruelty that is unique and it is uniquely maga.
Political Commentator 2
I could not agree more. Donald Trump running around saying Canada needs to be the 51st state and then JD Vance calling names and how they treated Zelinsky. That is embarrassing. Embarrassing. That is exactly the opposite of what American diplomacy should be. But they don't care because like you said, they're in just this little bitty maga. Get your dick out, measure it world where everybody is just a teeny, tiny insecure person.

Okay, in this shifting gears here, I am very fascinated by trans Maga people because the one thing that MAGA like their default setting when the economy is in a complete tailspin and Trump has face planted on the national stage and everybody's ridiculing JD Vance for wearing like a heavy smokey eye or pre smoky eye out in public, they immediately go to, you don't know what gender you are. You can't define a woman. What's. How many genders are there, et cetera. And that's their big go to. Their big scapegoat is to browbeat on trans people. So put up this photograph. This is wild. So we have, there's two trans people in the middle next to Alina Haba and Pam Bondi. And we have that Caitlyn Jenner. And then there's another MAGA trans influencer. And I'm just curious, like when they're in Mar a lot at Mar a Lago dressed like this. And when Pam Bondi says all the horrible things she says about trans people on Fox News. Oh, there's that Judge Janine, that Janine Pierre. That's what I was wondering. So they all say all this horrible, anti, terrible. When they're at the bathroom at Mar a Lago. What bathroom do they use?
Political Commentator 2
Oh, I can't. I would assume a female bathroom. I mean, I'm surprised there's not, they're not getting arrested for that at Mar a Lago.
Political Commentator 1
I just, I just, I don't. I mean, I guess you have, you know, like gay MAGA and you know, there's some black people that are maga. You have a lot of Latinos that are maga. But this, this in seems particularly striking to me because that's their default attack, right? Even people in the MAGA bubble, you know, like if they come across our video and we're Trump bashing. Look at these two trans men. You know, that's like their big. They think that's their big own. So I think that's just really weird. Moving along, everything Trump touches gets ruined. And nobody has been ruined as much as Mike Lindell, who, I mean, he went all chips in with Trump and put up this headline. The Pillow Guy CEO Mike Lindell told a court this week he's broke and he won't be able to write a check for all of the sanctions he's been ordered to pay. He says I'm in ruins and insists that he doesn't have 5 cents. So I mean, this is what I have to say to you guys. Mike Lindell bites the dust. But I think there's another one that needs to bite the dust and put up this next headline. We can do a lot better regarding Elon, you guys. Donald Trump's escalating trade war has forced Elon Musk to hit the brakes and suspend shipments of Tesla parts. We all know Tesla stock is struggling. Elon Musk has been reported to. He's been overheard audibly crying in the Oval Office like boodle baby Niagara Falls. Crying. Trump had to have a car commercial for him. And we need to keep applying pressure. This man is a Nazi. This man is inherently anti woman. Per his text with Ashley Sinclair. He shops for baby mamas in the DMS of Twitter. This man is a disgrace to our species, to the country of South Africa, and to all of America and the globe for that matter. And we need to work harder to bring Tesla all the way down to the margin call. What? What's that magic number?

Political Commentator 1
$114. We have work to do and we need to keep it up.
Political Commentator 2
I'll tell you what I mean, everything Trump touches dies, including casinos. America, here we are. You've picked him, but I mean, there is nothing. Mike Lindell believed Trump's lies.
Political Commentator 1
The January Rudy Giuliani believed his light.
Political Commentator 2
Rudy Giuliani. These men are ruined. Ruined financially, emotionally, everything about them is ruined. And Trump could give two shits.
Political Commentator 1
And they act like battered wives.
Political Commentator 2
They are battered wives because they keep going back for more. All these MAGA men. So hopefully Elon Musk will be the next person to fall into ruins because of his loyalty to the Trump dump.
