If you want to know. And if you're wondering if Trump has seen the disparity of footage he saw personally, the empty stands across from him at his birthday party, which was a limp dick if I've ever seen one in my entire life, more people showed up to a protest in a small town America than they did for his birthday party. But if you're curious if he saw the tens of millions of people that showed up nationwide and even in other countries to protest against this man's criminality, cruelty and fascism, you need to look no further than his truth social the day after put up. Aaron Rupar has grabbed the meat of it here and he says Trump says we must expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside. These and other such cities are the core of the Democrat power center, where they use illegal aliens to expand their voting base, cheat in elections and grow the welfare state, robbing good paying jobs and benefits from hardworking American citizens. These radical left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our country and actually want to destroy our inner cities. And they are doing a good job of it. There is something wrong with them. This is the response of a narcissist that received a narcissistic injur injury and he is now declaring war on other Americans in blue cities, typically a United States president. When any lawmaker on any side of the aisle is assassinated, a president would come out and try to assuage fears and call for unity. Typically when there are mass protests for something, the president would speak out and acknowledge them. This is his acknowledgment. His acknowledgment is to say, I get to have illegal immigrants in my golf clubs that I can exploit, but you can't have them. And he's also trying. He's also gaslighting the American public that illegal immigrants are voting, which has been proven time and time and time again to be 1 million percent false. In fact, a most recent exploration or investigation into voter fraud found that Trump supporters did it more than anybody else, that they tried to go vote in more places. Illegal immigrants simply do not vote because they can't. This is a lie. This is a myth. But what Donald Trump here has done has declared war on his own people. This is unprecedented.

Well, it's unprecedented because he is using the language and taking the actions of a dictator. He is not even like Gavin Newsom in California, didn't ask for the military or the national Guard to be under Trump. They didn't ask it because they didn't need it. He manufactures problems and everything he says is a confession. You know, the radical left, they want to go in and voter fraud. He was the voter fraud. At the end of the day, he feels the heat. He feels the fact the midterms are coming and Mike Johnson's even said it, and he's a dipshit. Trump will be impeached. Trump knows it. So he is clinging on to power. He wants to go into these blue cities that almost always vote for Democrats and control them before 2026.

And it's important to note that these are the Dem. These are the economic hubs of the American economy. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago. I would bet that every single one of their GDP is much higher than like, the entire state of South Dakota. And so this is just a fool's errand from start to finish, but it's intentionally cruel. But let's look at what Mehdi Hassan has to say, and I think this is a really important point. He trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the Republican power center in Texas, Florida and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words. And this is so true. Republicans do everything that they do with impunity. It's unbelievable that people within these cities and people that have businesses that rely upon an immigrant workforce still align with him, that there is a broken cruelty in the white supremacist culture, ruling culture at the top of this country. And this is why I think Democrats have a hard time penetrating sometime in messaging. You have the Republicans are clearly beholden to corporations, no question about it. Now they're beholden to this crazy cult leader, you know, with dementia, and Republicans will just die on that hill. Democrats are beholden to corporations as well, but they try to do it a little bit kinder. They try to say, oh, yeah, we're beholden to them, but we let gay people work here, or, yes, we're beholden to them, but we let black people work here. And I think there is a huge vacuum in this upcoming midterms where very progressive, populist economic messages could really sweep the nation. I think we could really attempt to do something different. And it's not that it hasn't been attempted before. Bernie Sanders almost pulled it off. And I think people are thirsting for clarity.
- [06:03]
John
People are thirsting for Donald Trump and his regime and the incompetence of it to be Gone. That's the feeling I got over the weekend when I saw all the footage. And you know, the thing about it is if you hate something so much that you're willing to take away their constitutional rights, that hatred and cruelty is going to end up like it did in Minnesota because people hate in their rage. Baiting Donald Trump unlocked the hate in American people. He unlocked the cruelty. He found the Christians that were just as cruel and mad and now he's weaponized it. And in my mind he thinks I can do whatever I want because this MAGA base is going to come, follow, come, follow me. And I'm wondering if he got a taste that maybe that's not true and that's why he's wanting to go into all these blue cities.

I think the hate has been here the whole time. As somebody who's lived in a, in a red state, who is an atheist, who is a Democrat but a white woman, I certainly have received my fair share in white circles. When I say I'm a Democrat or I say I'm not a Christian, I can't imagine what it would be like to be an immigrant or a black person or a gay person. He's just taken it over the finish line. And here was my point about, yes, we can want Donald Trump to be gone, but that's not the point. The point is something was broken before him that set the psychological soil for him to take off and something will remain after him. And that's why you have a candidate for mayor in New York that is going against the Democratic establishment. I think his name is Mamdani and he is really pulling well because people are sick of the Andrew Cuomo's of the world where you don't see a whole lot of daylight. My point is something existed before him, something exists with him, and the same thing will exist after him. And the burden falls on the Democrats to run something entirely different, to be completely free from the shack, being beholden to corporations that are always, 12 times out of 10, always going to value their profits over. They are the betterment and society at whole. And that's, that's is something that those of us that are engaged right now, that is the messaging we have got to get. This country is broken and Donald Trump dropping dead today or getting impeached in 2026 or leaving in 2028 and JD Vance has sworn in, it doesn't fix it. There is something massively broken beyond just the surface level of what's going on here. Let me point out some things here. Here is a tweet and a retweet. This is the mayor of Los Angeles and she tweets the following this morning I'm thinking about the children of Los Angeles waking up on Father's Day wondering if they'll ever see their dad again. We've heard reports of fathers being snatched from car washes, Home Depots and swap meets. Steven Miller, the number one guy under Donald Trump by all reporting, says in response to this very empathetic, unifying message to hurt the the people of her city. He responds, and he says, if your policy is that we cannot enforce our border or defend our sovereignty against anyone with children, then 2 billion foreigners can move here tomorrow and demand free education, health care, welfare and public housing. We are a nation, not a boarding house for the world. This is his response. And my point is millions of people are going to agree with him on that. Millions of Christians are going to say, well, they shouldn't have broke the law, right?

They voted for a man who breaks the law all day, every day and pretty much has his whole entire life. And before we move forward, you guys, the world is so globalized and that's why we're so happy to partner for this episode with Babel. I want to take on learning Italian. I go to Italy every summer and I have a lot of friends over there now and I think one of the best things as an American I can do is go over and say bonjourno and try to have engaging and interactive dialogue and Babbel is teaching me how to do this. It has a personalized review system based on your progress, designed for long term memorization and it helps me stay motivated to learn a new language because it's never been easier. Thanks to real time feedback, progress trackers and handy visualization and only 10 to 15 minutes a day on Babel's mobile app or website. Listener, I want you to learn another language. So I'm teaming up with Babel to gift you 55% off subscriptions, but only for our listeners@babel.com ihip get up to 55% off@babel.com ihip spelled b a b-b e l.com I hip babble.com ihip now back to a video I want to show you of this moral duplicity and hypocrisy and that the Republican Party embraces all day, every day. That Fox News embraces all day, every day. That every MAGA voter embraces all day, every day. I love the military, yet I'm going to vote for people who dismantle health care for our veterans, this is where democracy dies, where this moral duplicity and this hypocrisy lives. Put up the video.

I think if this a president who wanted to honor the military, he wouldn't be proposing 80,000 VA cuts. This a president who actually cared about the military. He wouldn't be freezing $2 billion worth of contracts or having a secretary of defense leaking attack plans on signal. In contrast, we had people from Idaho to Ohio to Arkansas to Massachusetts stand up and say that this country with due process being taken away, with children being separated from their mothers is not something we stand for. People will not take this lying down. And this is just the beginning.
- [12:23]
Sarah
And I just think that it's so good anytime somebody can break through that Fox News bubble and say that my problem is that these people, these MAGA voters, they vote for like billionaires and there is this worship and idolatry of it and it makes them feel empowered to vote against their own interests. And it's a really interesting case study. And I think the way that the Democrats really put the nail in the coffin of this horrific Republican movement that started long before Donald Trump, with the lies that they're good businessmen, that the lies that trickle down economic work works, the lies that they're pro family, the lies that they have values, all of that has been a jet stream of the way we make our way back is to have a political party that is beholden to the people and the people alone. Look at the power that people had on Saturday. More people showed up in Little Rock, Arkansas and in Oklahoma City, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, then showed up to this man, inarguably one of the most infamous living men in the world right now. He threw himself a birthday party. He could barely even get 10,000 people there. I've seen more people at a JV football game. It's unbelievable. This is a layup, but we have to do something different. Democrats must, must do something different this time.
- [14:05]
John
Well, the Democrats need to come out swinging all day, every day. Impeachment across the board. They need to be moving whether they have the House in the Senate or not. They need to be active and show people that they are fighting for the same things that, that the people that marched and good Americans that don't hate and aren't ravaged by cruelty.
- [14:25]
Sarah
Let me ask. I agree with that. But a lot of people in the base want credible messengers. And so when you have Democrats that come out and say and talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk, they're doing stock exchanges where they get a tip in a meeting before and they're beholden by all of these lobbyists. That's what's tanking the Democratic brand. The base is smarter, the IQ is higher, and so that hypocrisy is what's damaging us. And that's why when you see messengers, credible messengers from the Democratic Party like AOC and Bernie Sanders, they get tens of thousands of people that show up to their rallies. On the surface, I agree with you. We fight, we walk, we chew gum and everything. My main concern is if we do not, if we're a part of the system that created this, and a lot of the Democratic Party is a part of this, they take money from the same lobbyists, they do the same shit. They just include more people and fight for more people's rights. But that's moral shortcoming exists in the Democratic Party. My point is, in really analyzing this and really analyzing what the founders wanted is the power to stay with the people. And I believe the Democratic Party needs to separate from corporate donors entirely.
- [15:50]
John
I agree with you. I just don't see how feasible that is when you have somebody like Elon Musk that can come in and give almost $300 million just to 1 candidate. When you have the supreme saying there's no limit on corporate contributions. I think last year's election cost over a billion dollars. So I don't see how anybody can break away from the corporations because they're. They require the funding to get elected. So, I mean, it's in big circle.
- [16:17]
Sarah
That way in that regard. Pumps. The system remains broken.
- [16:22]
John
Yeah.
- [16:22]
Sarah
And it will continue to remain broken. And Citizens United States under the John Roberts court was the, you know, a step that Ronald Reagan set in motion to turn this country into an oligarchy. And Citizens United did that. But I believe that, you know, Kamala Harris raised a lot more money than Donald Trump.
- [16:46]
John
Right.
- [16:46]
Sarah
Yet he won. Bernie Sanders doesn't take. Didn't take any money when he ran for president and could have very easily been the nominee over Hillary Clinton. And I think credible messengers juxtaposed with this blatant corruption is the way to go. It's risky, but I think if the Democrats came out with a strong economic message and was not beholden to any corporations and put the power back to the people once and for all, I think we could see real change and we could see a government that has sustainability. If not, it's still the same broken system. The reason the base didn't come out this time in 2024 was because Kamala didn't feed the base. She tried to feed the evil, corrupt triple Trumpers that were never going to vote for her either. She tried to get the embarrassed Trump supporter to be a silent commonist supporter, and it was a fool's errand from start to finish. All right, that's all we have for today, and we'll see you all later.
