[0:04] this video strangely was set to private on the uh the white house's youtube and maybe it has to do
[0:11] with this clip right here people in the room that could do something about it and if they do
[0:17] something we have a great country we have a balanced budget because these are the kind of
[0:21] numbers and i actually said to them i said to russell don't send any money for daycare because
[0:28] the united states can't take care of daycare that has to be up to a state we can't take care of
[0:34] daycare we're a big country we have 50 states we have all these other people we're fighting wars
[0:39] we can't take care of daycare you got to let a state take care of daycare and they should pay for
[0:45] it too they should pay they have to raise their taxes but they should pay for it and we could lower
[0:50] our taxes a little bit to them to make up but we it's not possible for us to take care of daycare
[0:57] medicaid medicare all these individual things they can do it on a state basis you can't do it on a
[1:03] federal we have to take care of one thing military protection we have to guard the country but all
[1:08] these little things all these little scams that have taken place all you have to you have to let
[1:14] states take care of them russell and you have to do it uh linda mcmahon she's done such a great job
[1:20] she's moved education back to the states and you know what you need congressional approval i said don't
[1:27] worry about it just do it she did it they're largely back in the states we have all these buildings empty
[1:34] education building where is linda she's not here right but i'll tell you let her know i said it
[1:39] i left that last part on there because i think it's important and instructive that donald trump
[1:44] does understand that the constitution prohibits him dismantling organizations and entities within
[1:51] the structure of the government that were formed created by congress that the president does not have
[1:58] the authority under the constitution to do that he knows it he just said as much and he said i just
[2:03] told her just to do it because he does view himself as a king he does view himself as a sovereign as
[2:09] a leader who is untouched who is unburdened by trying to coordinate or or negotiate or work with a
[2:19] co-equal branch of government but this whole entire narrative that we're a big country we have 50 states
[2:26] all these people we don't have enough money because we're fighting wars i promised we wouldn't be in
[2:31] i thought it wasn't a war just a military action just it's just an operation epic fury but we don't
[2:40] have money to feed hungry children we don't have money for daycare we don't have money for these
[2:45] little individual scams like medicaid and medicare this this coming from the man by the way who like
[2:53] i said one won't shut the up about the america being the most powerful the richest the greatest whatever
[2:59] but also donald trump promised that he would pay off the national debt in fact just two days ago or so
[3:06] was the 10-year anniversary of donald trump promising in an interview with the washington post with bob
[3:12] woodward that he would pay off the entire national debt at the time in four years the elon musks the bill
[3:20] gates's the warren buffets the the jeff bezos's the larry ellison the david ellison's the donald
[3:29] trump's these types are getting let off the hook at the expense of people who desperately need a
[3:38] hand up in our society people whose lives could be inextricably made better with just a small
[3:47] investment that now we don't have the money for because donald trump wants to gut daycare and
[3:54] medicaid and medicare snap benefits a guy who's never gone hungry other than in between big max
[4:03] when his tum starts grumbling never gone hungry never faced what that's like and republicans cheer
[4:11] the christians who ostensibly follow the preachings and practices and philosophies of jesus who talked
[4:20] more about the poor and taking care of the sick and the infirmed and the oppressed than anything else
[4:26] they worship at the throne of this man donald trump remember this the man is saved but he's anointed
[4:32] with a kind of almost like a gift of wisdom for being able to navigate america through the crisis
[4:39] it's in but he's a baby christian and he's like at times he's 2 a.m in the morning i always look when
[4:45] does he post it 2 a.m he's cranky he's irritated he's on the phone and then he's having a fight with
[4:51] pope leo who he knows is meeting with axelrod and meeting with democrats and then using his vatican
[4:57] to critique the immigration issue in america and and he never said anything about the nuclear
[5:03] threat of iran but the pope has a comment about any kind of violence that's there and trump basically
[5:09] said that's it i'm actually doing more for jesus in the church than you are knucklehead and he point
[5:15] and i my opinion he pictured himself as doing more than the other guy who's supposed to be in charge of
[5:21] the catholic church but it backfired because this isn't his line of country he doesn't quite know
[5:27] how to meme because of the hypersensitivities of uh christians in particular which is ironic
[5:33] hypersensitivities of christians you're just being sensitive that donald trump depicted himself as a a a
[5:44] an adequate substitute for jesus christ quit being sensitive he's a baby christian all he did was say
[5:55] i'm a lot like jesus that's what this says to him that this image is trump saying i i'm a lot like
[6:03] jesus i super respect jesus guys not that i am jesus not that people are literally praying to me
[6:10] in the the ai generated image no not that but donald trump apparently doesn't agree with lance walnuts
[6:18] because donald trump said he thought it was him as a doctor not a lot like jesus but this prophet of god
[6:27] this man who would have you believe that god speaks directly into his head wants you to think
[6:34] that uh donald trump is anointed with the gift of wisdom listen not for nothing as he said there
[6:45] can't win for losing or whatever uh if that's the kind of wisdom that your god lance wall now is
[6:53] dulling out i'm gonna pass i'm gonna pass brother the problem here and a lot of you out there who
[6:59] haven't watched a lot of my content would probably say yeah this guy's just a kook he's a nut he's a
[7:03] fringe character no he's not because the attitudes that he shares trickle down or trickle up as it were
[7:11] to congress to media troy nails just said just hours ago a couple days ago he said something about
[7:19] donald trump being the second coming troy nails is a congressman a sitting united states congressman a
[7:28] republican who said to the press he believes donald trump is the second and for those of you who
[7:36] don't know evangelical theology the second coming means jesus is going to return a triumphant rapture
[7:45] where every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that jesus christ is lord this is what is drilled
[7:52] in to the heads of people like me as a child and he believes donald trump not jesus in a rapture is
[8:03] the second coming i believe that donald trump is uh is uh better than sliced bread i think he's
[8:10] he's he's almost a second coming in my humble opinion i think he's done a fantastic job he's
[8:14] got a very difficult job pope's got a tough job you know got issues in the church but donald trump
[8:19] has a very very difficult job to do the toughest job in the world yeah let that one sink in or let
[8:28] this one sink in this is sean hannity just a a couple of days ago declaring to to make it an
[8:34] announcement at the end of his show a message to the pope himself that he's choosing donald trump
[8:41] over his own religion john hannity quit the catholic church because of donald trump this is an infection
[8:51] watch this now i do want to shift gears with a message to the vatican tonight specifically to
[8:57] pope leo who has openly condemned america's war in iran while seemingly enjoying a public fight with
[9:04] president trump first let me give some context um like millions of americans i was raised catholic i
[9:10] went to catholic school for 12 years i even attended a seminary in high school studied theology latin went
[9:16] to mass daily i got a lot out of it my parents they were devout catholics and while i was wasn't
[9:21] particularly engaged at the time in the teachings of the catholic church as a young person it certainly
[9:27] entered my consciousness and made me a better person and has been a positive force in my life
[9:32] in so many ways but as of today i no longer consider myself a catholic you do you sean you do you if your
[9:41] religion meant so little to you that you will jettison it for the likes of the grifting charlatan liar
[9:49] and heathen and pig donald trump you can you can deal with your lord and savior or whatever uh however
[10:00] you want to brother if it's something you believe it's going to be on you to make that case when you
[10:06] face your maker but let me tell you donald trump's not going to be there when you're answering i don't
[10:16] understand how donald trump has this this hypnotic hold over these people who have claimed for decades
[10:24] and decades that that the the the bible was their north star the bible was their guiding light that
[10:32] the gospel of jesus christ was the only way to heaven that i am the truth the way the truth and
[10:40] the life no man cometh unto the father but by me jesus said that apparently that doesn't matter to sean
[10:47] hannity because trump is the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto whatever without him no man
[10:56] cometh under unknowable wealth and power and influence in american politics without donald trump
[11:01] and the republican party that is now the supplanted message the new gospel for republicans it just amazes
[11:09] me that there's not more support out there it's just we actually have a silent support i think it's
[11:16] a silent i think it's a well that's how i won i got probably 85 million votes they say 78 million 79
[11:23] million they cheated in this election too it was just too big to rick too big to rick yeah um actually
[11:32] we do have support it's it's silent support all of the people who are greatly benefiting from this
[11:39] administration economically and and every in every other metric they're so happy that they're stunned
[11:46] into silence they can't even talk about how donald trump is helping them so much when people are
[11:56] called by polling organizations they're just they're so happy they're they're almost in tears and
[12:04] they can't even talk to the pollster that's what donald trump would have you believe the other thing
[12:08] he would have you believe is that all of the polls are fake anything that says donald trump is doing a
[12:14] bad job fake anything that that uh all of the polls that say he's doing a good job well they don't
[12:20] exist and donald trump doesn't actually give specific reference to them he just gives vague nebulous
[12:26] answers about how it's fake news when it's bad and real good news uh when it's good and i had to go
[12:33] through and i still do fake stories fake polls you know i had polls for the election that showed i was
[12:40] going to get swamped and i won in a landslide they were fake polls because polls are tough you know
[12:45] when you get a fake poll i get them today i saw one today that i'm at 40 40 40 i'm not a 40 i'm at
[12:53] much higher than that i mean i'd love to run against anybody for the real polls say you kill everybody
[12:59] it wouldn't even be close but you go through the fake polls you go through the fake stories
[13:05] and i said you know it was good because this is really a much more powerful term than i would have
[13:12] had if i had run because it was just one of those things there would be nothing to compare it to
[13:18] why doesn't he name the specific poll that says he's much higher than that he doesn't because there's
[13:24] not a poll out there in fact the problem in the situation with donald trump's polling right now is
[13:29] so dire that it's record-breaking it is historic even when compared to the terrible polls that he got
[13:37] in his first administration let me share with you a brief moment from a cnn segment with harry enton
[13:43] who explains just how terrible the situation is what is driving this drop for the for the what is
[13:50] driving this drop i said record was the name of the game when it came to this segment right talking
[13:56] about the lowest trump has ever been going into the state of the union the lowest that any president has
[14:00] been this century going into a state of union at this point in their presidency it is also the weakest
[14:06] that donald trump has ever been with independence look at this drop we've been talking about it the
[14:12] past few months at this point a year ago donald trump was at minus 13 points look at this minus 47
[14:20] points among independents the lowest donald trump has ever been in either of his two terms as president
[14:26] with independence that is driving these numbers when you're 47 points underwater with independence that's
[14:33] the name of the game you can't be above water overall and that's why donald trump is near record
[14:36] lows overall and the lowest he's ever been going into a state of the union address quite a message
[14:41] on the eve of this big moment thank you harry thank you john those numbers with independence just
[14:46] eye-popping there that's a hell of a screenshot is it not he looks exasperated he looks almost sad
[14:53] for donald trump that he's 47 points under with independence that's the net approval rating right now
[15:01] with independence which are a critical metric among voters because democrats are going to vote the way
[15:08] they vote largely republicans they're in the cult they're going to vote the way they're going to vote
[15:13] largely it's independence that swing an election one way or another and when you're this underwater in
[15:20] just the period of one year which is historic it doesn't bode well it doesn't look good and donald trump
[15:28] because he can't face the reality of it he wants to lean in on the idea that there's a silent support
[15:34] network out there he won't make a course correction he won't do what the american people want which is
[15:40] just lead just create policy that better people's lives he won't do it because he doesn't identify
[15:46] anything as an actual problem because he lives in fantasy land so much fantasy land that anything that's
[15:54] bad for him democrats cheated if a democrat wins an election democrats cheated if he wins well maybe
[16:02] they did cheat too but it just wasn't powerful enough watch this madness from donald trump how i won i got
[16:10] probably 85 million votes they say 78 million 79 million take they cheated in this election too it was
[16:17] just too big to rig too big to rig but they cheated like hell they can't win on policy men and women's
[16:27] sports we have a new one though voter id i think that's as crazy as they won't approve voter id they
[16:36] won't approve proof of citizenship they won't approve no mail-in ballots even though they know it's crooked
[16:44] as hell where the ballots are sent to in many cases democrats republicans don't get theirs and they're
[16:52] calling frantically to get their ballot a democrat will get three four five six and even seven ballots
[16:59] and then we're supposed to win that's what they're good at they're professional cheaters but we
[17:05] wouldn't be here right now i'm just thinking as we as we're going through because we've suffered
[17:09] through it together again he is just recycling conspiracy theories that we've already heard that
[17:16] courts have already heard the arguments to and dismissed out of hand because there was no evidence
[17:23] presented it's as though donald trump's lawyers went into a courtroom and said the very things you just
[17:29] heard him said and the judge said yeah but where's the evidence you can't just say it and have us
[17:33] rule in your favor you need evidence there is no evidence the only time donald trump really starts
[17:41] talking about cheating is when he loses he didn't say that it was cheating in 2016 when he won the
[17:47] election he didn't say there was cheating he said it in 2020 he said it before 2020 even happened
[17:53] because he saw the writing on the wall on the wall he saw polling like this he saw polling like this
[18:01] and decided oh we got to come up with a narrative that's going to explain before i lose how i lost
[18:08] in every single court case every single one that came before a a court every single one got dismissed
[18:16] out of hand because of lack of evidence they didn't present any evidence they just made claims
[18:24] people are sick and tired of the incompetence of the corruption of the self-dealing just make
[18:33] someone's life easier donald trump that's your charge brother you're incapable because you're
[18:40] constantly thinking about yourself what kind of retribution you can deliver how you've been wronged
[18:48] how you're the sad sack oh poor you now when it comes to ice officers you recently expressed some
[18:54] support to deploy them to polling locations armed federal officers now how do you reconcile that with
[19:00] obviously the federal law that prohibits federal law enforcement to be armed at these locations
[19:05] well i didn't that's not true i have not said that um what i what we have talked about is whether
[19:09] there's a need to um to make sure our elections are fair to make sure that only people who are supposed
[19:15] to be voting are voting which isn't an incredible um statement to be made by a government official
[19:20] i hope everybody in congress everybody in the senate thinks that now the other thing is if you're here
[19:25] illegally you are not allowed to vote so i also am not sure of the uproar of the risk of having a
[19:30] border patrol or an ice agent at a polling location or looking into whether somebody is voting that
[19:37] shouldn't be if you are here illegally you cannot vote and so what's the risk why wouldn't everybody in
[19:42] washington everybody in the united states be supportive of that to make sure that people that
[19:46] are here illegally are not voting are not voting i don't know so you are in support of federal
[19:52] immigration officers to be checking the validity of someone's voting status i was not talking about
[19:56] whether i'm supporting or not supporting it my point is that this idea should not be complicated
[20:01] it's it's what we're saying is that if you're here illegally you can't vote don't let his daft squirrely
[20:07] dipshit demeanor fool you this is sinister intent on the part of todd blanche and he knows she prefaced
[20:16] it that it's already in law that you can't do it doesn't seem to matter to him again u.s code section
[20:23] 592 whoever being an officer of the army or navy or other person in the civil military or naval service
[20:32] of the united states orders brings keeps or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men
[20:41] at any place where a general or special election is held unless such force be necessary to repel
[20:49] armed enemies of the united states shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years
[20:57] or both and be disqualified from holding any office of honor profit or trust under the united states
[21:08] and section 593 under u.s code 18 u.s code which is the criminal code uh it says uh i'll put it on
[21:16] screen while i'm talking here a little bit and you can read it if you'd like to pause this is already
[21:22] u.s law this is already a felony this is already an imprisonable fine of not more than five years in
[21:28] prison but the acting attorney general what's the big deal who cares if we follow federal law who
[21:37] cares if we violate u.s law who cares if we could we could disqualify ourselves from holding public
[21:45] office ever again by ordering masked secret police donald trump's execution squad to go into polling
[21:53] station what's the big deal they're planning to do it this is the plot they are disenfranchising
[22:04] black voters effectively that's what they're doing they'll still be able to cast a ballot but it's not
[22:08] going to go anywhere they are engineering districts to box out democratic voters largely disproportionately
[22:18] blacks vote for democrats because the republican party has an agenda of white supremacy has an agenda
[22:25] of oppression has an agenda of subjugation they want to bring back jim crow in the united states and todd
[22:35] blanche knows that and he is here to be an implement a tool of white supremacy i don't know todd well enough
[22:46] to call him uh exclusively and explicitly a racist and a white supremacist but i don't need to he doesn't
[22:54] need to be an explicit racist and white supremacist because if he puts the plan into place what's it
[23:02] matter what he believes it's the same thing with mag voters who say well i don't care if if two dudes
[23:09] get married i don't care about gay marriage that doesn't whatever if you vote for donald trump and then
[23:15] the agenda is to squash that is to reverse that is to take away that right well then you made that
[23:24] happen in a small part through your vote so it doesn't matter whether you don't care about gay
[23:28] marriage it doesn't matter if you well i don't want voter suppression to happen but i'm gonna vote for
[23:33] donald trump well then yeah you did it's the same thing with todd blanche it's the same thing with
[23:37] anybody from voter to high elected official to appointee all of it you don't get a get out of
[23:48] jail free card because you personally don't care about it but you want to vote for the people who
[23:52] put it into place you get what i'm saying anyway it's just bootlickers and oppressive government
[24:00] all around us and then they whine and cry and question oh why is there so much political violence
[24:05] why is donald trump being targeted with with gunfire all the time as he subjugates people as
[24:12] he oppresses people listen it's human you can only take so much when people are going to become
[24:21] unhinged and do something dangerous something illegal political violence is bad and not but and you can
[24:33] expect it when you push people to their breaking point and that might be what he wants he might want
[24:42] so much chaos as a as a reaction to what he's doing that he can declare martial law that's why you
[24:50] need to keep your head on straight we need to fight through political means we need to fight at the
[24:56] ballot box we need to show up in numbers never before seen get people out of the off their couches
[25:06] away from the apathy that they've been swallowed by who think that politics doesn't matter that it
[25:11] doesn't affect their life yes it does show clips like this of todd blanche plotting and planning and
[25:21] conniving being the emissary of our white supremacist president
