Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you thought that the first term and the first
administration of Donald Trump was stupid, and forgive me for
using such harsh words. I wouldn't even allow my children
to say what I'm getting ready to say. But if
you thought that the first administration of Donald Trump was dumb,

(00:21):
wait til you get a load of his plans that
he just announced today in a press conference. I will
share several clips with you, but I just have to
let you know that we are seriously, without a shadow
of a doubt, moving into a complete state of idiocracy. Now,
don't get me wrong. I know that this is a

(00:43):
tactic of Donald Trump. I know that this is what
Donald Trump does. He runs chaos plays. Republicans have mastered
the art of running chaos plays. Will break it down
for what it is. It is an ignorant just the
height of galactic stupidity. It's like watching Neanderthals trying to
understand quantum mechanics. And my apologies for speaking like that

(01:06):
of Neanderthals, but we're dealing with sub neanderthalisthic thinking. They
are not as intelligent as Neanderthals maga because they're celebrating
these asinine ideas as some type of nationalistic achievement, and
it is uniquely designed to cause chaos and war. And

(01:27):
even if he is completely and totally just again running
a chaos play, these are chaos plays that are going
to require the attention and the response from the Prime
Ministers of Canada, of the President of Mexico, and all
of the other actors involved, because they will be forced
to respond because of what it means for the incoming

(01:51):
president of the United States to say that he's going
to use economic force to turn Canada into the fifty
first state, that he was going to use military force
to acquire Greenland. Just so many asinine ideas. Let's start
with the first one. This is in no particular order.
I am not even sure where to start. Let's but

(02:13):
let's yeah, let's start with his plans for Canada. And
I want you to listen to a key phrase that
he says. He says in here up calling the border
with Canada an artificial line work.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Under the assumption that you're serious about making Canada fifty
first state of the United States, The leader of the
Conservative Party in Canada said, under no circumstances or ever
being the fifty.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Versity from maybe he won't win.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
But maybe you had suggested listener, Sid, you're considering military
force to acquire Panama in Greenland? Are you considering a
military force to annex and acquire.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
No economic force because Canada and the United States, that
would really be something. Get heard of that artificial drawn
line and you take a look at what that looks like,
and it would also be much better for financial security.
Don't forget. We basically protect Canada. But here's the problem
with Canada. So many friends up there. I love the

(03:14):
Canadian people, they're great, but we're spending hundreds of billions
a year to protect it.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
This is just, folks. That's just one. That's that's just
the first one. Before I get too exasperated, I might
as well play them all so that you can see
what we're dealing with. But first, he says he wants
to use economic force to make Canada a state, and like,
I like what Art Candy said on Twitter. Bro is
absolutely delusional, no question, he is absolutely delusional. Sophie on

(03:47):
Twitter said, he looks like he's pissed at the world
that he did. He looks like he's pissed off at
the world. That can't be good for his blood pressure.
I mean, this is a quintessential example of a temper
tantrum and an attempt to boguard around the world as

(04:12):
if he is the baddest and the you know, the bully,
the bully, and for what end, to what end, for
what benefit? Who does it benefit. We'll explore all of
that in a moment. Let's go to the next idiotic
thing that this man has said. I'll get to this one.
Let's see. Oh, this this one, my goodness. I want

(04:36):
you to pause and listen as Donald Trump says that
he is going to turn the Gulf of Mexico into
the Gulf of America. And to be sure, I'm going
to read some of the replies to the people who
share this, because you have to understand this. This stuff
is made possible by the echo chamber that is social media.

(05:01):
And you will listen and see how just utterly, my
numbingly brain dead maga truly is as they respond to
some of this drivel coming from Donald Trump. Here he is,
as shared by Charlie Kirk on Twitter. You can see
it in the video. If you're listening via podcast, just
listen very closely. Here's Donald Trump making this plan.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
We're gonna be changing the name of the Gulf of
Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful
ring that covers a lot of territory, The Gulf of America.
What a beautiful name.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Beautiful name, and it's appropriate. It's appropriate, it's appropriate.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
We're gonna be He's changing the name were to Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory, The Gulf
of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
My goodness, it's appropriate.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Now we're gonna be.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Folks in a minute. I will We're gonna analyze with
artificial intelligence, because I really I just need you to
see just how absolutely destructive the ideas are themselves, and
how disruptive it is. And I believe that this again,
this is a part of his strategy. So as I

(06:16):
say this to you, I'm not saying this to you
to frustrate you or just to get you angry. I
need you to see the plays. This is a play.
When I say a play, I mean like a play
in football. Right, He's got his quarterback, he's got his coach.
Donald Trump has his coach who is telling him the
play to run, and he's running the play. What is
the play that he's running. He's absolutely running a play

(06:37):
that is chaos. Chaos, that's what he's looking for, I
replied to Charlie Kirkins. On your screen, Now, you people
are insanely dumb, like galactically stupid, like Neanderthals trying to
understand quantum mechanics. Dumb. Forgive me and Neanderthals. I'm gonna
be nicer to you all going forward. They are sub Neanderthalithic.
Is the phrase maga is just laughably ignorant with all

(07:00):
the drivel you except from Trump. Because this is how
stupid it is. This is how utterly ignorant it is, right,
this kind of stuff. And I appreciate the way the
reporter with the first question, and I'll see if I
can bring it back up the first Here this gentleman
on your screen. Now listen how he phrases.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
The assumption that you're about making Canada.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
No, let me rewind it. Let me rewind it. There
it is. If we're going to work under the assumption
that you are serious about making Canada the fifty fourth
fifty first state in the United States, if we are
to work under the assumption that you're serious, Donald Trump.
That's the problem. When a president or a president elect
says something, everyone involved is forced to take it as

(07:46):
though he is serious. And so even if he's running
a chaos play, which I believe he is, it's chaos
to distract you from everything else that he's trying to do.
We will see his full plan. His plan is purely economic.
His plan is to give tax breaks, another set of
tax breaks to the richest people on the planet. His
plan is to increase the deficit like he did the

(08:08):
last time. The greatest single growth in the United States
debt and deficit came underneath Donald Trump's first administration with
the twenty seventeen tax breaks. That's what he's really trying
to do again. And he will run all of the
chaos plays that he needs to run in order to
keep people off their balance, from being able to triangulate

(08:29):
what is real, what's not, what's his real play. I say,
we treat it all as if it's real, and we
dismiss it all as if it is the most ignorant
thing that they could possibly do. These people are more runs.
They are the barbarians at their own gates. They're getting
ready to destroy the United States of America, and they're
celebrating Trump as he does it. The third clip, let's

(08:49):
go to the third clip. This one is a little
more ominous, and I want to put into context. This
is Donald Trump saying that if those hostages, speaking of
the hostages in UH, the so called Israeli Gazen or
Hamas war. And I say so called because if you

(09:10):
look at the images, there's nothing, there's nothing about that.
That is a war. That's a genocide, full stop. But
I want you to listen to what he says here
because this is this is a more much more foreboding
tone of intention. Listen, it better.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Get done by the inaugural. All hell, all hell must
be paid. They don't release mesogas, don't you well do
I have to define it for you. All hell will
break out if those hostages aren't back. I don't want
to hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by the
time I get into office, all hell will break out

(09:46):
in the Middle East and it will not be good
for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly for anyone.
All hell will break out. I don't have to say anymore.
But that's what it is now.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'm not going to I'm not going to rub this
light salt into the eyes of of the people who
voted for Donald Trump because or they didn't vote at all,
because they were upset and rightly, so let me not
even finish that sentence without saying they were correctly and
furious upset about what's happening in Gaza and the Democratic
Party's complicity with it, particularly genocide. Joe Biden. But we

(10:21):
have tried to communicate with you all as gently and
lovingly as we could that Donald Trump plans to do worse,
and it's hard to even fathom what worst would actually
look like, to be sure, right, it's hard to fathom
what worse would look like in the sense of Gaza.
But here he is making it clear that he intends

(10:41):
on making it worse. And let's not pretend like Israel
Benjamin Netanyaho actually cares about hostages. They've killed hostages, their
own hostages, they killed their own people in the process.
In this process, they've turned down negotiations, they've refused cease fires,
they've done everything they could to continue the wholesale devastation

(11:03):
of Gaza. That's their intent, that's what they want, that's
what they're getting. And Donald Trump is going to aid
and abedded even far beyond what genocide Joe did. All right,
let's move on to the final clip. It's just a
it's just a season of absurdity, a season of ignorance. Oh,
this is a this is a this is another. What

(11:23):
is it about maga folks that makes them think that
symbolic gestures like making the Continuing Resolution to fund the
United States of America from being like a nine hundred
page bill to being like a thirty page bill, and
because it was a smaller bill, they believed it was
inherently better. Smaller is better. Where else do they run

(11:43):
around and say smaller is better? That's their thinking?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Right?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
And then now he's saying he's expecting according to inwokeness
on Twitter, who is another maga apparatic? You should follow
them and respond to their ignorance in real time. That's
a call to action. But breaking Trump says that he
will require the vote to be fully counted by ten
pm on election night. Let's listen in to this yet

(12:07):
another example.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Plus one of the things we're going to do is
we've got to fix the election so that we get
honest counts and they get done by ten o'clock in
the evening or something thereabouts. They have places where they're
still counting votes.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
In a nation of three hundred and fifty million people,
where on average ninety million people vote on a single day.
They're expecting everyone to finish their counts in that same evening,
by that same evening. Meanwhile, they want to do away
with electronic voting machines, and so what that's going to do.
What is that going to do is going to force
an overwhelming number of people of ballots to be counted

(12:43):
by hand, and he's expecting that to happen by ten
pm on election night. This is clearly a play to
absolutely positivity, grind our electoral process to a halt, to
cripple the process so that we cannot get certific certified
numbers in the time that they're demanding, so that if
you don't have your count finished by ten pm on

(13:05):
election night, your counts cannot be counted, your totals will
not be included. Every step that Magga takes is a
step to disenfranchise Americans, no question. And you look, and
you look at the replies from these people, and you
think you honestly would think that Donald Trump is some

(13:28):
type of genius to them. They think that this. Look
at this one. There's no reason why it should take
longer than a day to count all of the votes
of ninety million people by hand. Are you people really dumb?
This is what? This is what Hugo Veil Hugo Veil
on Twitter says, there's no reason why it should take

(13:49):
longer than a day to count all the votes. Are
you people really that ignorant? Ninety million votes in just
a single afternoon when another qualification is that you are
requiring that these be counted by hand and no electronic
ballot machines. Do you see the impossibility that they're trying
to put Now, I won't say that this is a

(14:11):
This is not a chaos play. This is a very strategic,
targeted strike against your voting rights. This is how they're
going to make it impossible for you to get your
vote counted, even if you go to the poll and vote.
If that precinct is not able to get results by

(14:32):
ten o'clock that evening, no matter how big that turnout
was at that precinct, it's going to turn and not
be counted because it would be outside of the parameters.
Look at this, This guy on Twitter the Jerusalem says
Trump means business and that's good. Not requiring idea and
letting some states count for a good six weeks will
always raise questions of fraud. I don't see any argument

(14:55):
for not making ID mandatory or for voting outside fixing elections.
Of course they don't see that. They don't want to
see because they want They don't care about the people
for whom obtaining IDs is difficult, if not impossible, or
costly to them. There are people who cannot just up

(15:15):
and go get IDs. There are a lot of Americans
who don't have that resource. And yes, there are plenty
of organizations that are around the country that are trying
to help people get IDs, to make sure their IDs
are up to date. But then they put a new
barrier in front of it and say, oh, your signature
has to match. Well, what if you're an elderly person.
And this is a true story, elder that's not just
a true story, not an anecdote, but this is research

(15:36):
where elderly people they're handwriting changes over the years and
their ID might be ten, fifteen years old, and now
their vote doesn't count. Any opportunity that they get to
make sure that your vote doesn't count, that's what they're
going to do, That's what they're going to take. And
so we have a combination of plays that are happening
right here. Right, we have the absurd right, he's going

(15:56):
to make Canada the fifty first state. It's absolutely absurd.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
To states that would really be something. You get rid
of that artificially drawn line and you take a look
at what that looks like, and it would also be
much better for nancial security. You don't forget, we basically
protect Canada.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Never mind the war that you would have to go to,
that you would have to get into to make that happen. Right,
he wants to take the Panama Canal. He wants to
take Panama by force with using the military, right, never
mind all of the insanity that will ensue as a
result of just these The statements alone create chaos, and

(16:38):
so some of these actions are chaos plays. The rest
of these actions are actual strategies that he's implementing, and
he intends on committee. He does plan on allowing Benjamin
Ett and Yahoo to go even further in the devastation
of Gaza. He does intend on making it more difficult
for your vote to count by requiring all vote to

(17:00):
be tallied by ten pm on election night. Those are
actual actions that he's planning on doing. But when he
says that he plans to use economic force to make
Canada a state, that is a chaos play. That's going
to force Canada to have to respond. In reality, they
have to say something now, and so he creates confusion.
He creates chaos, and he does it as a strategy

(17:22):
to take attention away from And then some of the
things are just really like, look at this one turning
the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America. I
want to play for you, really briefly before we go,
I want to play for you just how ignorant this
idea truly is. I asked Chap GPT the following artificial intelligence,
this following question, what does it take for the United States?

(17:42):
What would it take for the United States of America
to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to
the Gulf of America And what good does this do
for anyone?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Here is the reply, changing the name of a geographic
feature like the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of
America would be an extremely complex and controversial process that
involves of several legal, political, and international considerations. Here's a
breakdown of what it would take and an analysis of
its potential benefits or drawbacks. What it would take to

(18:11):
change the name One domestic US process. US Board on
Geographic Names BGN, the federal body responsible for standardizing geographic
names in the US, would need to approve the name change.
A formal petition or request would be submitted to the
BGN with a justification for the change. Public consultations and

(18:32):
input from stakeholders coastal states, Native American tribes, environmental groups, etc.
Would likely be part of the process. Two international process.
The Gulf of Mexico is a widely recognized international body
of water. International organizations, including the United Nations Group of
Experts on Geographical Names un EGN, would likely need to

(18:55):
be involved. Mexico, Cuba, and other nations bordering the Gulf
would almost certainly oppose such a change. Three Political and
diplomatic issues. This would almost certainly provoke significant diplomatic backlash,
particularly from Mexico, which shares a long maritime and land
border with the US. It could sour trade, environmental light,

(19:17):
and security partnerships. Four Cultural and historical considerations. The name
Gulf of Mexico has historical roots going back centuries to
when Spanish explorers and indigenous peoples referred to the region.
Changing the name could be seen as erasing history, especially
in regions rich with cultural heritage. Potential benefits, if any symbolism.

(19:43):
Some might view the change as a show of national
pride or a projection of American influence, though this could
be seen as unnecessary or antagonistic national branding. Some might
argue that renaming places to sound more American reinforces national identity,
though this has little practical ves value. Drawbacks One strained

(20:04):
international relations. This movement would likely damage diplomatic relations with Mexico, Cuba,
and other neighboring countries, potentially leading to economic and political fallout.
Two cultural and historical erasure. The Gulf of Mexico's name
reflects centuries of shared history between multiple nations. Changing it

(20:25):
could be seen as disrespectful to that shared history. Three
unnecessary disruption. Navigational charts, treaties, maps, atlases, and countless documents
would need to be updated. Institutions and businesses relying on
the Gulf of Mexico name would face significant costs to
rebrand and update their documents. Four Public backlash. Within the US,

(20:49):
many people would likely see the change as a waste
of government time and resources, especially if there is no
strong public demand for the change. Conclusion, renaming the Gulf
of mecha Ago to the Gulf of America would likely
cause far more harm than good. The logistical, cultural, and
diplomatic costs outweigh any symbolic or nationalistic benefits. It would

(21:11):
also face resistance domestically and internationally. Ultimately, changing the name
of such a significant and shared natural feature would likely
be viewed as an impractical and divisive move.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
You think, I mean, this is clearly why he wants
to do it. The erasure of history. Yes, I hadn't
considered that. Of course, that's there, right, But it's a
chaos play that's meant to just destabilize everyone. As MAGA
goes and accomplishes the installation of the MAGA deep state,

(21:46):
as they attack our voting rights, as they attack our
they attack Canada economically in order to turn it into
the fifty one fifty first state. Right it's just so
much ignorance that we must be prepared to navigate. We
cannot allow him to run the same play as before.
We know the play, and so what do we have

(22:07):
to do well. I think there's a tiered response. I
think that there are entities and organizations that have the
ability to address the ignorance, that have the ability to
actually take him head on. In terms of some of
the bigger threats, it's going to take Congress. It's going
to take members of Congress if we even if we
don't have all of them, Members of Congress are going
to have to leverage every bit of power that they

(22:28):
have to ensure that Donald Trump does not try to
economically force Canada to becoming the fifty first state, right
or to try to change the name. The bureaucracy needs
to stand in the way of Donald Trump trying to
change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the
Gulf of America. This is what you can do. Tell
you need to inform everyone that has any kind of
connection to the Gulf of Mexico, any type of company.

(22:51):
Can you imagine all of the companies along the Gulf
coast that are branded and their entities their corporations are
based on the Gulf of Mexico. Now they're gonna have
to change everything. They're gonna have to change their logo,
They're gonna have to change their banners, their signs on
the outside. They're gonna have to change the T shirts.
They're gonna have to change their websites, They're gonna have
to change everything, all because Donald Trump wants to be

(23:14):
an international bully and he wants to run chaos plays,
as well as the fact that it's just pure stupidity.
So unless you are an attorney who can work through
the judiciary, unless you are a federal employee who can
work through the bureaucracy, if you're not one of those people,
how can you help number one by understanding what is

(23:37):
happening that he's just trying to cause chaos, but number
two communicating that effectively and doing so on social media
and with your friends, in your chat rooms, in your
group text threads, everywhere people are talking about politics. You
need to take these truths and take it to them
and let them know that Donald Trump is a moron.
And here's why. Specifically why because everything that he's designing

(23:59):
to do is disruptive and destructive to the entirety of
the United States of America and the global order and
the security of your own business and the security of
your own finances. He is coming to destroy America as
we know it, and you need to make that known,
and you need to combat them word for word live.

(24:22):
I mean, just go lie by lie, dumb idea by
dumb idea, and get out there and let people know
just how painfully ignorant MAGA truly is, and how painfully
ignorant the next four years are going to be. And if, if,
if we are blessed enough to survive it, this will

(24:45):
go down and being recorded as being one of the
most ignorant periods in human history, not just American history,
but human history. When we have an abundance of information,
yet we are surrounded by the Neanderthal, the subna, the
sub neanderthalithic class. I can't even insult Neanderthals like that anymore.

(25:06):
These are people who are sub neanderthalithic, meaning their brain
capacity is not even that of the Neanderthal. As they
celebrate the ignorant, as they celebrate the destruction of our
public health system, as they celebrate the destruction of our
education system, as they celebrate the destruction of our democracy
written large. Please, if nothing else, let's go down mocking

(25:31):
them to scorn because the barbarians are at their own gates,
the sub Neanderthals are destroying their own democracy, and they're
celebrating their Orange Julius, their Caesar. They're celebrating him as
if this is a brilliant as each of these are
brilliant ideas. All right, that's it for this. That's it

(25:53):
for this video, this clip this. Be sure to listen.
Be sure to go and watch the video for out
of this. If you're listening to it on podcasts, be
sure to go watch the listen to the podcast. If
you're watching it on video, be sure to go read
the article version of this I'm going to drop on Twitter.
I'm going to be dropping this along with information on
how you should fight back and why you should fight back.

(26:15):
You should not be frustrated. You should not be ready
to throw in the towel. Do not let the truth
as I reveal it to you fluster you. I need
you to center yourself. I need you to calm yourself
and come out of this, enter back into the fight
with a calm, resolute determination that if everything must go
to hell. We are going to mock these people for

(26:38):
the fact that they are the most ignorant people in
the history of this planet, getting ready to destroy the
most efficient empire in the history of this planet. And
for what also that they can give more tax breaks
to the richest people. Also that Elon Musk can help
and with the beck Ramaswami to sell off the United
States of America to private sectors so that they can

(27:01):
charge you for your mail, so that they can privatize
the postal service and make billions of dollars off of it.
How else do you think Elon Musk is going to
become a trillionaire except he plunders the United States of
America and Donald Trump is going to run interference for
them while they do that. Donald Trump is going to
come out and say every asenine idea that he can

(27:22):
possibly think of, and he's going to have maggots who
m A G a T MAGA with a TS maggots
celebrating him all along the way. Be sure to share, like,
