Gen Z Commies Are Plotting Violent Revolution Against Trump (Ep.124) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongino Report Early Edition. The
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: New York Times says we can't call the Mexican drug
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: cartels terrorists. Trump prohibits government buildings from flying gay pride flags.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Neocon warmongers call for the termination of Trump's Middle East envoy.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Republican senators jeopardize Pete Hegs' confirmation again. And TikTok communists
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: are threatening violent revolution against President Trump. All this on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Bongino Report Early Edition. There's a vibe shift. The American
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: people are sick and tired of political correctness and elites
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in this country shaming regular citizens who just want to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: protect their jobs and their cities, their national identity. We're
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: done apologizing for being Christian or for caring about our
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: cultural heritage by opposing mass immigration. But the New York
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Times does not seem to have gotten the memo.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: While outlets like.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, are trying to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: diversify their pages, remain relevant by hiring more right-wing voices,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: even The View has discussed bringing in a Trump supporter
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to sit at the table, it appears that the New
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: York Times is still clinging to utter insanity. In a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: piece yesterday, the outlet actually warned against labeling satanic Mexican
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: drug cartels as terrorists.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, warned against it. Don't call them terrorists. Those guys
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: who skin people alive.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Live stream beheadings, sex trafficked children, and pour illegal drugs
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: over our open border.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What am I supposed to call them?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Michael, what do we call these people if they're not terrorists?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: What are they?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: What are we supposed to call them?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: What are we supposed to call the people who control
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: an entire country bordering the United States by murdering political
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: candidates every year?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Every year they do that. Of course they're terrorists.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Now the reasoning is The New York Times gives is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that it would be bad for American businesses. The argument
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: goes that labeling Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations would
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: hurt the U.S. economy because the cartels influence major Mexican
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: economic sectors like agriculture and tourism, and the terrorist label
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: would impose sanctions that could inadvertently affect U.S.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Business engaged with Mexico.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And if you're someone like myself who has had family
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: affected by fentanyl, which we know is coming over the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: open border, You know how absolutely insulting this argument is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We have to continue enabling and emboldening demonic cartels that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: are killing Americans and Mexicans, by the way, because of money.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Money, money, money, money. Trump's a businessman.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: A lot of people love that about him. He's a businessman,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: but he isn't a psychopath with no moral compass. A
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: thriving economy is good for the American people, but an
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: economy at the expense of.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: American lives, that's not a win. It's not a win
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for Trump. This is why he.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Cares about securing the border. The ends don't justify the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: means with this one. That's why Trump has authorized the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: deployment of 1,500 active duty troops to the U.S.-Mexican border
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with the possibility of increasing this number to 10,000. Here's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary, Carolyn Leavitt.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: What is he doing this afternoon?
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I believe it was Reuters who broke the news that
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: President Trump signed an executive order of 1,500 additional troops
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: to the United States Southern border. This comes off of
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: his day one action, as I just talked about. on
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Fox News to direct the Department of Defense to make
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security a core mission of the agency.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: This is something President Trump campaigned on.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: The American people have been waiting for such a time
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: as this for our Department of Defense to actually take
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security seriously. This is the number one priority thing
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: that the people and the president is already doing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I love to hear it. It's just awesome.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The border crisis is a national emergency. Trump's declared it
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a national emergency. And he's treating it like a national emergency.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Here's Tom Homan on how the number of border crossings
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: has changed literally overnight since Trump took office.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. Look, the greatest president in my lifetime, he's back.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Because in two days, the last 24 hours, total apprehensions
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: on the southwest border. 766. Compare that to the 10,000
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: to 12,000 Biden had at one time. CBP1 releases, zero. CHNV, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Venezuela releases, zero. Total of 766 across the entire southwest border.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: That is a game changer.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: This is how you know Democrats wanted the border crisis.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Biden could have secured the border in an instant, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: he chose not to. and sending in the troops, perhaps
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: special forces, to secure the border and deal with the cartels,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm all for it. I'm all for America first foreign policy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: For way too long, our foreign policy has not been
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: putting the United States first. It's not only been contradictory
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to American interests, but it's also been contradictory to American
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: values in general.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Not anymore.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Trump is revolutionizing the way that we view the world
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and the world views us. Yesterday, Trump announced the U.S.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: government buildings can only fly American flags.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And this means that agencies in D.C.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And foreign embassies are prohibited from flying gay pride flags
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: or BLM flags. And this is after Trump's admin shut
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: down the government's abortion website. He declared that there are
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: only two genders and that life begins at conception.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's based on It's really a pleasant surprise considering Trump's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: campaign rhetoric was somewhat weak on social issues. I talked
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: about it as we were in the campaign. I didn't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: like how he had some anti-life takes on Amendment 4
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: here in Florida. He was much softer on the LGBTQ issue.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He was anti-child mutilation, of course, but maybe less. signal
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that he didn't have a problem with adults mutilating their bodies.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So he was a little weak on these social issues.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: What he's signaling as president is that he's not. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that's an awesome thing. For a long time now, America
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: has been exporting cultural rot. We're told that it's democracy, right?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: But actually, it's gay communism. It contradicts true American and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Christian values to the point where It actually alienates us
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: from more religious countries and aligns us with globalist morally
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: bankrupt ones. The flag executive order is a signal that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: we are exporting American exceptionalism and traditional values, not race
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Marxism or queer gender radical theory. It is incredibly based
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and makes me really positive looking to our foreign policy
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: over the next four years. I've been really digging everything
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that Trump's done. Thus far, foreign policy-wise. Before the inauguration
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: even occurred, Trump facilitated a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: He put an end to the chaos and carnage. He
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: protected human life with the help of his Middle East envoy,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Steve Witkoff. This was a massive victory for anyone who
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: values peace in that region.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Here is Witkoff on peace building in the Middle East.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: So I think that normalization is huge for the state
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: of Israel. It's huge for the region.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And, hopefully, it happens.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: And my own opinion is that a conditioned precedent to
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: normalization was a cease-fire. We needed to get people believing again. First,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: we needed the hopeful moment. And I would like to
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: think that we have achieved that. And we will build
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: on that. And then, on top of that, we needed
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: to show people that we could stop the violence. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: we could have conversation and dialogue. And so this is
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: the beginning of that. And hopefully everything over there can
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: be settled in that way. If it's possible, everyone will
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: become a believer.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Just one more.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Whitcoff, the ceasefire isn't just a ceasefire. It's about peace
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and commerce in the entire region, which is good for everyone,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: including Israel.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And isn't this what everybody should want?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Peace in the Middle East? Isn't this the goal? Not
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks so. One right-wing commentator. Marina Medvin shared that video,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: which I gave you guys a snippet of it, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the full seven minutes this woman shared, and she had
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the caption, fire this bastard. Fire him for wanting peace
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Marina is one of many.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Breaking Point's co-host Sagar Anjeti wrote on X yesterday, alert,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I am hearing of a massive whisper campaign in D.C.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: against Steve Witkoff for negotiating the ceasefire against and other
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Trump appointees who want to avoid war with Iran. The
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: other Trump appointee that I think Sagar is referring to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is Michael Domino, who people have been highly critical of.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He was sworn in as the Pentagon's top official for
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Middle East foreign policy yesterday. Domino's consistently called for America
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to prioritize America when it comes to all foreign policy,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: including American foreign policy in the Middle East and Africa.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: And this means he's not a hawk.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's interested in forever wars.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: And I think getting away from the large footprint that
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: we've had in the Middle East ever since we invaded
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: Iraq in 2003, and we had, I think at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: height of the invasion, what I mean, we had 200,000
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: troops in the region or something like that. We have
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: to get back to small intelligence enabled special operations and
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: clandestine missions to go after these targets when it's necessary.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: And when there is a credible and persistent threat to
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: the United States. And I would just say, if you
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: use that rubric, most of these groups do not qualify.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: They just don't. Maybe they did 10, 20 years ago,
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: but they don't anymore. And I think that's hard for
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: people in Washington to accept. You know, when they spin
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: these missions up, they never want to spin them down.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: And you sort of have a cottage industry around counterterrorism,
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: and I'm not going to name any names, but you
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: have people that sort of exaggerate a lot of these
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: threats I'm not saying they're necessarily paid to do that,
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: although I think some of them are. And, you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: they want to keep the United States involved in these places.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: And many of them are, you know, registered foreign lobbyists
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: or what have you. And those people are not looking
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: out for America's best interest, Danny. As Americans, we have
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: to be putting our troops in harm's way only when
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: it is absolutely necessary and when there is a vital
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: or existential U.S. interest on the line.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Only interview when absolutely necessary, of course. This is common
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: sense America first foreign policy. Forever wars have devastated this country.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Virtually my entire life, America has been at war in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the Middle East, and we've accomplished virtually nothing. All we've
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: done is waste money, lose American lives, destabilize the region,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and by the way, decimate ancient Christian communities. Now here's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: why people are really mad. Domino wants restraint on foreign aid,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: even to Israel.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: The big question is what is the U.S.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Going to do?
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: And I think, you know, it's funny we talk about
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: the U.S. as, you know, slipping into war, getting dragged
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: into war or whatever. You know, last I checked, we
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: are the global hegemon. We are the undisputed global superpower,
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: at least for the time being still. And if the
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: United States wants to avoid participation in a war, it
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: has all the agency in the world to do so.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: I can make it very clear to the Israelis, to
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: the Egyptians, to everybody in the region, that the United
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: States is not going to participate in this. And I
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: think you've seen some statements from the Biden administration about,
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: you know, trying to emphasize defensive support for Israel. But
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: even that, you know, can get you into a potentially
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: a situation where American F-18s are bombing targets in Lebanon
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: and things like that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Intellectual consistency is really important to me. We have to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: look at all four and eight objectively. Is it in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: America's best interest to fund Israel's wars? Maybe.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Unconditionally?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Certainly not. That take is not America first. What Domeno
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is saying is, look at the situation, act in the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: best interest of this country with $ 36 million in debt.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: People in North Carolina and California have lost their homes.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: They're living on the streets. Our own border isn't secure.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Trump is, as we speak, all but declaring full-on war
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: with the cartels. We aren't in any position to be
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: throwing money around. There are people who want to limit
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: foreign aid to Ukraine, but not Israel, and that, to me,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: seems intellectually inconsistent. Foreign aid is fungible. We send billions
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of dollars to Israel. Meanwhile, Israel provides their citizens.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: With free healthcare and free abortions.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So American dollars free up funds for Israelis to get
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: free healthcare, which Americans don't have. And Israel has the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: money for free abortions. And I'm not sure how they
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: can justify billions in foreign aid from America if they
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: can afford that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break. You guys, thank you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: for bearing with me.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I did, I got so sick over the inauguration. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. I'll try to limit my coughing
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: as much as I can. What I was saying is
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: if Israel has the money for free abortions, I'm not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: sure how they can justify billions in foreign aid from America.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And none of this is to.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Say that Israel isn't an ally of the United States
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: or doesn't have a right to self-defense. I'm not saying
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that at all. Israel is obviously an ally of this country.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that American priorities need to start coming first.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And of course, Domeno is now being accused of somehow
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: being an appeaser of the Islamic Republic. And that's a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: crazy thing to say. Michael Domeno is a former CIA
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: military analyst, counterterrorism officer. He has a really comprehensive understanding
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of Iranian proxy groups through his analytical work. He has
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: frequently discussed the activities and influence of Iran-backed militias in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. The guy clearly does not love Iran.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: He's just America first, and he doesn't want American men
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: dying in avoidable wars that are expensive and irrelevant to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: this country.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: War is hell.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We have to think long and hard before funding, perpetuating,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and participating in war. And it's that kind of restraint
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I want to see in a leader. And frankly, if
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you don't want to see that, I'm not sure you're
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: America first. Certainly your definition of America first isn't mine.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And I think we got to ignore the warmongers and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: stick by Woodcoff and Domeno.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Trump trusts them. So do I.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I also trust Pete Hexeth. Pete Hexeth, another Trump pick,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: probably clashes with Wyckoff and DeMino on a lot of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: these issues. He's a major supporter of Israel. Some of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: his rhetoric seems like it's almost unconditional. I probably disagree
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: with Pete on a lot of these issues. So why
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: would Trump pick three guys with very different takes on
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Middle East to high-level Pentagon positions? If I had
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to guess, Trump wants some diversity of thought. Trump's going
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to make the calls. He's not a figurehead like Biden
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and Kamala.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: He's the real deal. And he wants different perspectives. That's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: really a good and healthy thing as a leader. It's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: really a great sign.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And it makes me respect President Trump. And speaking of Pete,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I have some major updates for you guys on his confirmation.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: NBC News recently reported on an affidavit that senators received
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: from Danielle Hegseth. Danielle is the sister of Pete's ex-wife, Samantha,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and a woman who Hegseth's lawyers say is an anti-Trump,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: far-left Democrat. That's a quote.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the reason that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Pete's ex-sister-in-law has the Hegseth last name is because she
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was previously married to Pete's brother, kept the Hegseth last name. Now,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the affidavit apparently alleges that Hegseth engaged in quote, behavior
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that caused his second wife to fear for her safety,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: end quote. So Pete, it's a wife beater. That's the allegation.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And there are a few issues with these allegations. Danielle
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: admits to never actually witnessing any of this abuse. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Pete and his ex-wife, Samantha, both deny the allegations. In
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the NBC article, you will find that Samantha Hegseth denies
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the wife-beater accusations all the way down in the ninth paragraph.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Probably because NBC didn't want to put it in the headline,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: didn't want to cover it even in the first place,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: so they buried it in the ninth paragraph. You guys
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: do not hate the corporate media enough. These guys are
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: absolute trash. Now, in the wake of this news... Fox
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: News' Chad Pergram reported that Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and Mitch McConnell are considering voting against Pete. Republicans have
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: 53 seats in the Senate. So if those three made
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that decision, J.D. Vance would have to tie-break the vote.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And if one more senator flipped, Pete loses the confirmation.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: He fails. Michael put up that tweet. Call these senators.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Call your senators, even if they're not one of these three,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins. A no vote is unacceptable.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: These hit pieces on Pete have been totally devoid of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: journalistic integrity.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Michael, let's play our next video.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah Mikey okay we're gonna come back to that video
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: in a second you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Guys I'm so sorry I'm just I'm not.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty under the weather can't take a day
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: off so we're we're we're.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: Getting through the show.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So all of these senators need to be held accountable.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: A no vote is not acceptable. The hit pieces on
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Pete have been completely devoid of any journalistic integrity.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: It's all hearsay. There's no facts. There's just smears.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And Pete shouldn't be punished by Republicans of all people
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: because the corporate media cannot stop lying about him. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: want to draw your attention to something else. It has
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to do with that video that Michael just played.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There's a trend that I'm noticing recently.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: In the Gen Z social media sphere, and that's anger.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Anger and fear over big tech and big business oligopolies
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: aligning themselves with the Trump admin and consolidating even more
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: power and wealth. The video that I just played for
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you has a million views, and it's one of many
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: using the song Money from the musical Cabaret. Cabaret is
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a musical, you don't know, it's set in the Weimar Republic,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: centered around on the decadence and the escapism of characters
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in pre-Nazi Germany. The Roman Republic, of course, is right
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: before the Nazis took over the country. And the characters
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: indulged in sort of free love and hedonism, and they
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: failed to recognize or act against the rise of fascism
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: all around them. So Cabaret is basically a cautionary tale
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: about complacency in the face of political extremism. That's the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: message of this musical, and then it's also a movie
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: from the 70s. And you know that the modern left
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: views Trump as a fascist Nazi, that he's literally Hitler.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So Gen Z is not only using the sound to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: draw attention to wealth inequality, but call for revolution against Trump,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: who in their opinion.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Is literally Hitler. Take a listen. Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: .
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: .
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: If you
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: haven't any coal in the stove and you're freezing the
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: winter and you curse through the wind at the base.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: When you haven't any shoes on your feet and your
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: coat's thin as paper and you look 30 pounds underweight.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: When you go to get a word of advice from
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: the fat little bastard, he will tell you to love evermore.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: So when hunger comes around, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, at the window.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Who's there?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, so if you are listening, you didn't get to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: actually watch that video.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: You're on Apple or Spotify.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: What you saw was Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, the UnitedHealthcare CEO
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that was murdered by Luigi Mangione. And then you're seeing
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles fires, insurance companies failing to pay people, homelessness.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You're seeing Kamala and Trump signaling that both of them
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: are bad. They're both two sides of the same coin. Now,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: what's interesting is His left wasn't too concerned about our
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: ailing healthcare system under Biden or the big tech oligarchs who.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Have been censoring the political right for four years now.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: They didn't care. But now they do because these big.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Businessmen are aligning themselves with Trump. Here is Bernie highlighting
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: wealth inequality in response to Trump's inauguration speech.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Did the president in his inaugural speech say one word
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: about the healthcare crisis? In America today, we have a
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: major housing crisis. Not just 800,000 people who are homeless,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: millions of people paying 50, 60 percent limited income on housing.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Did the president say one word about the housing crisis?
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: We have massive income and wealth inequality. It's a gap
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: between the very rich and everybody else. Never been wider.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: But sitting behind the president, as you know, were the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: three wealthiest people in America, worth together over a trillion dollars.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Did the president say one word about income and wealth inequality?
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Obviously not. The conclusion I hope that most people reach
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: is that we are moving toward an oligarchy. We've got
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: to fight back. We've got to protect our democracy. We
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: need an economy that works for all, not just the
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: people on top.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing. Bernie's right.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: There is a lot of wealth inequality in this country. Clearly,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: big tech is an oligopoly. Look at what happened with
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop, the way it was just blanketly
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: censored across all the platforms in a unanimous movement. The
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: mass censorship of President Trump after January 6th in 2021.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The annihilation of Parler. Dan knows about that. Dan has
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: talked about that. This was possible because big tech is
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: an oligopoly. beholden to and supported by the federal government.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Now, the only reason.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: That leftists care about it now is because Meta and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: X and Google and Apple are aligning themselves with Trump.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And all their left-wing controlled speech policing is going away.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that the Silicon Valley.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Oligarchs aren't a problem.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: We need diversity and competition and deregulation so that other
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: tech companies can thrive too. And then we'll have less
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: speech policing. guaranteed, even despite a Democrat president of the future.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And the cost of health care and housing, it has
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: indeed not kept up with wages. And rent as well.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Barney's totally right.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Private equity firms are constantly buying up single-family homes, turning
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: us into a renter's economy. Big banks and major airlines
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: have been bailed out more times than any of us
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: can even count.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, community banks are dying.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Major ones have the power to debank you, just like
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: big tech has the power to unperson you. Super dangerous.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Bernie's also right about the inauguration. The tech billionaires were
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: separated from Trump only by his immediate family. Otherwise, they
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: were right there next to the president. Why wasn't those
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: seats taken by January Sixers? Perhaps Moms for Liberty, people
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: who actually support Trump, and his vision for the United States.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And then this week, Trump announced Stargate, a $ 500 billion
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: joint venture with OpenAI's Sam Altman, alongside Oracle and SoftBank,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to develop what Trump describes as the largest AI infrastructure
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: project in history. Not sure I want to be consolidating
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: AI development with some of the most unethical tech billionaires
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in the country. Larry Ellison, from Oracle, is a huge
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: supporter of.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Of government surveillance.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Oracle already does that. It interfaces with everything. It consolidates
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: all of our data. Sam Altman is accused not only
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of stealing intellectual property with his open AI, but calling
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a hit on a young man who was set to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: testify in various open AI lawsuits. He was a whistleblower. Again,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: these are allegations. I'm not going to say that Sam
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Altman called a hit on this guy. That's truly what happened.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: But his mother is saying that. We said it on
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson's podcast just a couple weeks ago. And then
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: we're being told that Stargate could create more mRNA vaccines. Because,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the COVID vaccines, they turned out so great.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And all I'm saying is that none of this is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a good look, nor is it a good sign. Trump
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: is a populist. He was elected to put the American
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: people first, not Amazon's profit margins. And of course, Bernie
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: is a multimillionaire grifter. He said nothing about during COVID
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: when America experienced the greatest transfer of wealth in American history.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: The guy is trash.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But he's identifying real issues. AOC is doing the same thing,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and it matters. We have to pay attention because young
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: leftists are now calling for political violence.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Here's another TikTok.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: To my comrades on the left, it's time to buy
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: a gun and to learn how to use it. We
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: can no longer afford to be afraid of these weapons.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Fascists know how to use them. So should we. Karl
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Marx said it best, under no pretext should arms or
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: ammunition be surrendered. Any attempt to disarm the workers must
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: be frustrated, with force if necessary. Solidarity forever.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Bernie is identifying the real issues, the solutions, they suck.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: But he's right that the billionaire class is exploitative in
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this country, that they've consolidated a lot of power via
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the government, by the way, which Bernie wants to enable
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: even more. Our system is full of debt slavery, the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: devaluation of American labor via mass immigration. Technology is making
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: 1984-style mass surveillance and censorship more and more sophisticated. The
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: working class people in this country have put their faith
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in Trump. They trust him, but he fails to deliver.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you guys that I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: kind of scared. If Trump fails, we fall into the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: hands of AOC and Bernie Sanders and that lunatic in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the TikTok I just played. Collectivism Communism is evil, responsible
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: for killing millions of people every.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Time it's tried.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: At the same time, communists and populists on the political
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: right are identifying the same problems correctly. So we've got
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to either deliver for working class Americans or risk a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: revolution far more bloody and terrible than anything we've ever
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: experienced on American soil. Look at the Soviet Union, look
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: at Cuba. We know how this ends. Yeah, there's a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: vibe shift, but it's a delicate one. If Trump's administration
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: fails to deliver tangible improvements for working-class Americans, the political
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: landscape could shift dramatically and dangerously. Disillusioned young men already
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: leaning heavily toward the right could easily swing in the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: other direction. Recent data shows that Gen Z white college-educated
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: males are 27 points more Republican than millennials of.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: The same demo. It's huge. They have big expectations.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And if their expectations of Trump's leadership go unmet, these
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: young men could just as easily abandon conservatism in favor
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of extreme leftism. We stand at a crossroads where addressing
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: economic inequality by restoring competition and limiting corporate and government
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: overreach is critical. If the current populist movement cannot meet
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: these challenges, the consequences could echo the bloodiest conflict in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: history from the Spanish Civil War to the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Trump and his team have a lot of responsibility on
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: their shoulders. They are now charged with steering America through
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: one of the most delicate and pivotal moments in our
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: nation's history. And I hope for all of our sakes
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that they're successful. And that's all I have for you
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: guys today. I'm so sorry about the cough attacks. I'm
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: going to get better. I know I am going to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: try and sleep today and just rest and hopefully tomorrow's
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: show won't be as distracting.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: So, so sorry again. I hope you guys have a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: great day. I will be here tomorrow. Hopefully, a little
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: less under the weather. I'll see you all then.
• 30:30

  Speaker 5: I'm your host, Megan Klingenberg, and I am super stoked
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: to be joined by Daryl Dike.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Arguably, your most impressive quality cannot be measured.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: You're a guy who.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Is the definition of grit.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Injuries have ended plenty of careers, but instead you decided
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: yours would only be a chapter instead of the ending.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, Daryl.
• 30:50
