And in the first clip that we're going to show you, here's he has a message for Americans. See if you know what it is. So We're thankfully, thanks to Donald Trump, I would say We're past the point where most people, at least that I see, hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say in this house, we believe blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, love is love. W is. whatever No person is illegal So That sign is like such a disgusting butchering of the Nicen Crete We've got a photo of the sign here as well to put up So the sign says in this house, we believe science is real Les matter. No human is illegal Women's rights are human rights. love is love, kindness first Well, I can see why that would be offensive, wouldn't you? I mean, what the fuck? He's lecturing people on what How disgusting they are I'm like, dude, first of all, you're a baby Catholic. You've been an atheist, you've been all kinds of things. You've been pro immigrant. you have been anti immigrant. So please do not lecture us. And I mean just the absolute He has to say, well, thanks to Donald Trump. We don't have those signs. Thanks to Donald Trump, peopleople are not getting vaccinated Kids have measles People are dying in the streets, just ask the family of Alex, Predty and Renee G. It This is such a stunning arrogance to me that he has the balls to make these rounds on right wing media. and he's so smug He's so smudg. He wants so badly to sound like highly intellectual Catholic intellectual and he never comes off that way Also I just want to put this sign back up What a tell on him on these MAGA Christians that that he's saying is a grotesque attack on like Christianity. R. Let's just go through this. Yeah. According to Jy Vance in his Christian faith Science is fake. Yeah, Black lives don't matter U Immigrants are legal Women's rights are not human rights. Um Love is love. I mean, they just hate. They like hate. We lovealty Yeah and cruelty first. So, you know, JD Vance Like you said, Pomps, he's a chameleon. he'll say whatever he needs to say. at a time that is, you know is a political opportunity for him to say it cannot imagine picking up his fucking book let must speak. J torture noobbody else can either, apparently. Yeah. You're not the only one that can't imagine. belieelve that Amazon had to turn off their re views because they were kind of flooded with one stars. Um What else can you say about this guy Well he's a piece of shit. And here's the thing In the same interview, he lectures the fucking He is a baby Catholic This whole new book he wrote is about his conversion to Catholicism, which is new. and he has the arrogance to lecture the Pope. here he goes. In the interplay. And what I would hope that the Catholic leadership has learned from some of the things that me and Marco and the president have said about immigration is it's not just about the dignity of the immigrant It's also about the dignity of the native born factory worker who has their wages destroyed Okay, stop right there JD Vance, noobbody needs a lecture from you and Marco Rubio Are you fucking kidding me? You're killing little girls. And how fucking racist is it to say? You know, well, the Americans that were born here. I mean, that's just straight out of the Nazi playbook. The Americans born here. It's just it's dog whistles for racism. This guy It's just so unbelievable to me that he gets on there with a straight face, that smug, that arogate. and I can assure you Leo does not want to take a lesson from Marco Rubio and Jie Vance. I mean, just It's unbelievable as what it is. All of this goes back to like what's happening right now with the birthright citizenship. So you're saying this is a dog whistle of racism What I have seen, the response to this Tiscood is turning this down we're past dog whistle. I mean, it is some of the most blatant racism I've ever seen. Well, and he goes on to talk about how Uh, you know childildren are being sex trafficked. how and it all starts to the top constantly hear Donald Trump talk about how rapists and criminals are flooding out of insane asylums and coming across The U.S border This is their playbook they want to demonize all immigrants. That was made very clear yesterday, as Kylie said after the birthright citizenship ruling And they see that as a threat to them and to this country Here's the thing, the criminals and rapists are in the White House. They're on the cabinet. That's where they are. If you wna find a criminal or rapist, look no further than the Epstein evidence against Donald Trump and the cabinet And here's the other thing. This has been settled law since the fourteenth Amendment. This is not new news. Scotas didn't come out and make a new ruling. Hey, birthright citizenship didn't exist, but now it does based on this ruling. That is not whated. This has been the law of the land and they don't like it. They have the Supreme Court, they have Congress presidency and you can't make them fucking happy because they are miserable broken people And then just a couple other things, highlighting what a piece of shit JD Vanceces highlighting how ridiculous and unprepared the United States was for the war in Iran because they have incompetent leadership. And Benjamin Netanyahu, who finally found a president stupid enough to go to war with Iran, here's what he had to say about Iran. So I think what the president has told us to do is use this MOU to sort of refill the world's oil economy. Yeah, to refill some stocks And then to see where the hand is So basically go back to the go back to where we were. The four We bombed Iran before we empowered them to take over the Strait of Hermuz. It's just so stunning that there's no pushback from this guy. Oh, so you're talking about, you want us to be where we were before the first bomb was dropped in Iran. Is that what you're saying? But no, they just let it go and act like it's a big victory This was not about regime change. This was not about protesters. This was not about Iran being ruled with by a theocracy. becausecause I'm sorry, in the United States of America, Christian nationalism is every but as terrifying Shereela. This was about Donald Trump was told by Benjamin Netanyahu Even though everybody joint chiefs of staff, JD Vance are like, no, no, you know, flashing red sign. this is not going to happen. It was like Donald, you're going to be a big boy. You're going to be the one that settled and made peace in the Middle East. And what it is is a war we were never going to win that it looks like we are never going to get out of. And Donald Trump is going to kill people, maim people and the global economy and the national economy is going to crash And nobody gives a shit. Well and importantly, this wasn't about Iran having a nuclear weapon either. No. I completely forgot. It's been so long since we talked about them having a nuclear weapon. That I completely forgot that that was one of the things because apparently a year ago to last June, this is july first, a year ago, they had obliterated. by Trump' right. Theyliterate it. But then they thought, but it's been so long since that's been brought up, Ban, I completely forgot. Sorry. And we have we have a statement from the Pentagon that I think is pretty telling about some of the objectives in this war. So says U S. Pentagon delayed publicly announcing U S. strikes on Iran after the US stock market had closed on four PM on Friday per NBC News The timing of the announcement was reportedly intended to quote reduce the immediate impact on financial markets. And here's just what I'll say about that It's been obvious they're manipulating the markets because they're for a while, like before the markets opened on Monday, Trump would say, oh, yeah, we're near a ceasefire and all those things to keep the markets out. but only rich people are affected by the markets The average American is affected by higher gas prices highigher grocery store prices. And if you have a truck that has to take products from point A to point B and the gas is higher the products go higher. So this administration doesn't give a shit about the working class. They don't give a shit about poor people. They give a shit about the oil companies and the people that have stocks in the stock market. And it's just it's such a gross display of wealth, but nothing And I mean nothing is grosser than what came out yesterday. And my guess is this is just the tip of the iceberg, how Trump is profiting Us The United States of America as president, like no other president has done before. He's not even trying to appear that there's no conflict of interest. Here we go. The Washington Post reports Donald Trump reported more than one point four billion in income from crypto digital tokens and related partnerships in twenty twenty five appearing to have substantially increased his income after reentering the White House last year So Donald Trump, who we know is selling pardons, you know The big two hundred fifteth anniversary wants two hundred and fifty pardons at a million dollars a pop. That's a lot of fucking money But he has consistently profited off the presidency. And so my question was, okay, so Trump is making billions and this is just what he's reported. This is public I guarantee you the backroom deals and the side eye corruption has made even more His meme coin has made six hundred million How have the investors in Donald Trump hisis supporters who've invested their life savings. how have they done in investing in Trump products The Trump meanaincoin generated about six hundred sixteen million do for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than seven hundred millionars acccording to Reuters estimates. The coin has dropped ninety seven percent from its january twenty twenty five peak This is like every other investment and business adventure that Donald Trump has come into. He He squeezes out every dollar from the person that has no money and he pockets the money and he runs away and hides. This is how he did Trump University, Trump vodka, Trump phone, the strp The stakakes, We haven't even gotten into the knick Knack shop. No. know, the Trumpy trout and the people that bought his Trump money and went to the bank and tried to deposit it These people are simple. They don't have expertise in stock markets and Trump bends them over and fucks them over every single time because fundamentally he doesn't give a shit. 'cause in my opinion, he's a complete sociopath that cannot feel empathy. So all these people that are losing money, who gives a shit Can you all believe people are still stupid enough to impest Trump? This shows me. I'm just like, lookook at the myistory. I also think it raises this big point of like, our presidency and all of these offices have become this like marketing engine. And I just feel like this is going to be a really bad precedent for the future And he's made it like a used car lot. Gevin, JD Vance is using the sitting vice president spot to promote his book, which no one has done in the past So I mean, I think profiting from it and profiting.s And they're pocketing all of this. And so are future people going to want to rise to this power not to influence the world or to run the United States, but to make the most money out of any other position you can have in the country. That's what scares me. The corruption is legitimately staggering. They're the most transparent administrations. withith corruption. Everything else they're not transparent about, but with the corruption, it's in your face. ur country is not a democracy. It is an oligarchy. And the reason that there will never be any accountability for this because The Supreme Court has basically given Trump permission to do whatever he wants with no accountability. So he I believe that Across all of his businesses that was reported yesterday, the number is over two billion
