IHIP News:🚨 MAGA Voters BAILING?! DEMENTED Trump ADMITS He's Not Going To LEAVE OFFICE WILLINGLY!!
Joining me today on I hit news it's a. total treat. It is of course my very. good friend Joy Reid host of the Joy. Reid Show because on our side. >> Yes. we support each other. We lift each. other up all of those people on the. right-wing media ecosystem delicious. cannibalism I must say. >> No, I mean they're like putting salt on. each other and just having a taste and a. bite every single so what's wrong with. them? They don't even like each other. I. know Joy I want to get your take on. this. Fox News invited a focus group of.
independent voters and it didn't go very. well. Let's play the clip. Honestly what. has been holding me back is I feel like. the change that I was expecting from the. president himself. Um I don't feel in my. everyday life which is concerning to me. Um I still feel obviously that you know. prices are very very very high and you. know if you're going to the grocery. store or just in general because. inflation still exists. Um unfortunately. now we have the higher gas prices which. really hurt you know everyday in their.
pocket and um and I I've voted my entire. life and the frustration right now is. it's just unbelievable because. Joy. Part of me wonders if people who speak. like that young lady were in a coma. during Donald Trump's first term. or during his entire lifetime in which. he's bankrupted businesses and been a. terrible businessman and then pretended. to be a good businessman on The. Apprentice. And then part of me says you.
know what let me be gracious and give. grace. I think most people don't pay. attention to politics. I generally think. people just don't pay attention and they. knew they were hurting economically. during Biden and so they didn't really. look deeper into they did they they sort. of didn't access their own memories of. the first Trump term. They just voted. against what they had you know? And how. much of this should we attribute to. Democratic messaging? And let me give. you an example. My entire life I was. born in 1974.
Republican presidents always go down. like this. Reduce taxes increase debt start war. market crash Democrat comes in and fixes. it. Next Republican comes in does the. exact same thing. The only thing that. Trump has done is he's done it a lot. faster. >> Yeah. They have propagandized the. Republicans so well. We are such good. caretakers of the. >> fiscal responsibility. >> We are so we're so good at business. We.
support the troops. Meanwhile they send. them out in all these crazy ass wars all. the time. How much of a burden should the. Democrats have for constantly playing. defense and not offense and defining. these liars and complete arsonists. American arsonists that the Republican. Party has become? Yeah I mean every. Republican president in my adult. lifetime has presided over a recession. with the exception of George Herbert. Walker Bush who's the only one who.
raised taxes. Every other Republican all. of them Bush Reagan I mean I think. inflation was like 14% when I was a kid. under Reagan. They always have a. recession but the problem for the. Democrats is that the Republican brand. is very simple tax cuts. Their brand is tax cuts and so when. people see a Republican the first thing. they think is tax cuts. They forget. about the recessions. They forget about. the fact that they crash the economy. every time because they cut taxes for. the super rich. They spend like drunken.
sailors and then they know what. Democrats going to come along and be the. cleanup woman the cleanup man and clean. it up and then Americans have such short. memories that as soon as the Democrat. Bill Clinton Barack Obama Joe Biden. clean up the mess they go oh great now. we can put another Republican in and get. more tax cuts. Yeah and don't you think. right now the psychological soil is. completely primed with how grotesque. these oligarchs are? They're just like. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are some.
nasty ass fascists in my opinion. Elon. Musk is a nasty fascist white. supremacist. that the Democrats need to play offense. and start this oh no it's going to be a. tax break for the working class but. these billionaires we simply cannot. afford them. We cannot afford to have a. billionaire class like this. Don't you. think it would be better if we took. office? I feel like the Democrats are. always playing defense. >> They're always playing defense and also. they mix the message. We can't say Jeff. Bezos is an evil fascist but also we're.
going to chill with him at the Met Gala. Let's go to his wedding. So. and look I think we ask too much of our. celebrities that they shun the. billionaires but the messaging is so. mixed. Is this guy bad guy or is he like. our friend in fashion? And so I think. that because there's not a willingness. to inoculate the culture from these. people these people insinuate themselves. into the culture and then we don't know. what we stand for and the Democratic.
Party doesn't have a brand right? Their. brand is they're the scolds. They're the. ones who are telling you you didn't get. the pronouns right. You did you didn't. do this right. They're the scold brand. and people just don't like it and and so. the Republicans are like the fun brand. They're like the absentee dad that comes. around once every month and takes you. out to the you know the Disney dad. >> Disney They're the Disney dad. They're. the weekend dad and Republicans are the. mom that's telling you got to do your. homework. And that's just the branding. and so I I don't know how to get around.
that especially if they're not offering. proactively something positive which is. why somebody like a Mondaire. is the kind of Democrat who can win. Yeah. >> Because he's not stuck to the Democratic. brand. He's not saying he his brand is. Mondaire. His brand is affordability. guy. Yeah. His brand is change. And I. thought the way he played the Met Gala. was perfect. >> Perfect. >> going to go but I'm going to lift up all. of these workers garment workers. >> Hello. I mean just brilliant. Okay I.
want to play a stunning moment for you. uh from Trump's judicial nominees and we. know from other autocrats like let's. just look at Victor Orban. They sunk. their claws so deep with party loyalists. into the judiciary into the media. Here. is Senator Chris Coons interviewing. lifetime appointments for federal. judges. Play the clip. >> President Trump eligible to run for. president again in 2028?
Senator with or without considering all. the facts and and looking at everything. depending on what the situation is this. to me strikes as more of a hypothetical. of something that could be. >> a hypothetical. Has President Trump been. elected president twice? President Trump has been certified the. president of the United States two. times. Is he eligible to run for a third. term under our Constitution? Um I would. have to to review the the actual. language. >> is the language of the constitutional. amendment that makes it clear that no he. is not eligible to run for a third term.
Anybody else brave enough to say that. the Constitution of the United States. prevents President Trump from seeking a. third term? Anybody willing to apply the. Constitution by its plain language in. the 22nd Amendment? Nobody. >> Okay this is stunning. These men wouldn't go an inch in a. meritocracy. No. Not an inch. Not an. inch. And it it's not a the idea of. meritocracy is so as as Orwellian as the. idea that Republicans are fiscally.
responsible right? They just say words. that are meaningless and then they. reverse the meaning. These same nominees for the judiciary. could not admit that Joe Biden beat. Donald Trump in the 2020 election. They. can't do it because they're still. performing for an audience of one and. the fact that attorneys people who want. to be lifetime appointed judges can't. simply quote the 22nd Amendment and say. of course not he's been president for.
two terms he can't be president again. They can't do it because they know. they'll be punished by a truth social. post Yeah. >> and then they won't be able to be judges. because the cowards in the United States. Senate on the Republican side plus the. one from Pennsylvania who pretends to be. a Democrat. >> Right. >> won't vote for them. Right. So the. reality is in order to get the job they. have to debase themselves. Republicans. are supposed men who live on their. knees. Not a single one of them is a. man. They are quislings. They are. cowards. They are supine pathetic worms.
who pretend to be manly men. I. completely agree and then Trump just. said this right after these hearings. Here he was yesterday. stunning. Play the clip. >> Well when I get out of office in let's. say eight or nine years from now. I'll be able to use it I'll be able to. use it myself. >> Pause it right there Kylie. Look at all. these crusty ass Mhm.
>> people laughing and applauding for what. he just said. Mhm. What's your take on. all that? I mean this is what it's like. to live in an autocracy right? Um everyone in Saddam Hussein's Iraq had. to laugh and applaud when Saddam Hussein. made a joke. And even if the joke was about killing. their family if they don't comply. And. these people are performing autocracy in. America. And so whatever Donald Trump. says is funny. Whatever he says is true.
The only truth is what's on quote. unquote truth social. That's why he. named it that so that people would be. forced to say Donald Trump truthed. and so everyone goes along. Everyone has. to call it the Gulf of America. Everyone. has to pretend that there's a such a. thing as the Department of War and that. Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of War. You know that's not true. >> right. >> And and also that he's qualified to even. have the job of Secretary of Defense. This is a joke. We are we are we are a.
we are a cosmic international joke right. now. People look at somebody like. >> [clears throat]. >> you know, Todd Blanche and the rest of. the world is laughing at us. They look. at a Kristi Noem. and the job that she used to have as. Secretary of Homeland Security and they. laugh at us. Pete Hegseth is a an international. punchline and so is Donald Trump. But. inside of this country, inside of the. Republican Party, they have to pretend. that Donald Trump is a statesman.
They have to pretend that he's. intelligent and brilliant and a great. leader because if they don't, they get. punished by a. Truth Social post. That's pathetic. Joy, what do you make of his approval ratings. are at 30 32%? >> 25 in one poll. [Â __Â ] that's better. That's good news. So, we need to get it. down into the teens. Yeah. But so you. have these abysmal polling numbers. At. the same time, our counterparts, uh the um.
propagandists in the right-wing media. ecosystem, they've jumped off the Trump. train. They have seen that this man is a. dementia duck. He is in his last term. It's a Weekend at Bernie's presidency. They're trotting this [Â __Â ]. around everywhere. He's falling asleep. left and right. Tucker Carlson has gone. full tilt off the Trump train. Megan. Kelly, full tilt. Joe Rogan still he. likes to have his foot in both because. he just doesn't believe in anything. A. total nihilist. What do you make of we're starting to.
see fissures for the first time in 11. years. We saw a glimpse right after. January 6th. And then uh the former speaker of the. house went down and kissed the ring and. then that was over with. Fox News, everybody followed suit. But now we're. starting to see real fissures. What's. your take on all that? >> smell blood in the water, right? Donald. Trump has the giant cankles that look. like they're going to explode. He's got. bruises all over his hands. He's. physically not well. He's mentally and. cognitively gone, right? He's gone so. like he's just out to lunch wandering.
around staring at the invisible ballroom. at this point. >> [laughter]. >> He is. They know it, but they also they. see now the potential power of the. presidency. I think one of the most dangerous. moments. in an autocracy is when the aging. autocrat is potentially on his way out, but he's left behind the scent of. absolute power. They we've now seen what. the presidency can do. It can make you a. billionaire six times over. You can.
steal in the open and John Roberts will. protect you because John Roberts is a. monarchist, corrupt [Â __Â ] who just. wants to do his own corruption. The. Supreme Court is like, "Shit, we're. doing corruption, too. We don't want a. Congress that's going to investigate us. Right. >> We're going to keep these people in. forever. These [Â __Â ] are staying. in for life. They're going to be a. Republican majority till we're dead. because we're just going to do. corruption with y'all." Yeah. And so you. know you're protected by a corrupt. court. >> [snorts]. >> You know that the quislings in the. Congress are not going to do [Â __Â ]. They're not going to do anything. And so.
the Tuckers of the world, they're like, "We've got a supine Congress that's. obedient. We've got a corrupt judiciary. all the way to the top. John Roberts and. those six, they're never going to stop. the corruption. I want to be president.". They're all like, "Shit, I want that. job." And so now everyone smells blood. in the water and they want the power. Trump has. Do you think Tucker's going. to run? I think I I wouldn't be. surprised. I'll put it that way. If. Tucker doesn't run, I think Joe Kent. sees it. Marjorie Taylor Greene sees it. Everyone who's speaking up against Trump.
now and trying to establish themselves. as this suddenly suddenly caring about. the Palestinian people. Uh Out of. nowhere. They suddenly care so deeply. about that. >> and children. >> and children. And children, you know. And they're Christians. Oh, of course. >> He'll children. All of a sudden they. give a damn. Yeah. Because they see that. that is the path to that power Trump has. and the money. So, in that you have. these people that say Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, all of a sudden. they're just, you know, all about. universal human rights. But I have heard.
crickets about the following. Last week. the Supreme Court gutted a key provision. of the Voting Rights Act and this broke. yesterday. Pop this up. The Supreme Court Monday fast-tracked. its decision in Louisiana versus. Callais, a move that clears the way for. Louisiana to move forward with redrawing. its congressional map even as an. election is already underway. So, these. all of a sudden human rights activists,
um arbiters of democracy, crickets from. them on this. Joy, speak to me not only. as a person in media, but also as a. black woman. How. seeing this happen. Yeah. And knowing that, you know, Obama that. that was a huge progress. We elected a. black president. But knowing that there. would probably be a white lash. I've. heard from a lot of black people. They. knew, "Oh, we're going to get it for. this at some point.". Speak to that because I think it's.
really important to highlight that that. fear that a lot of black Americans. always feel just below the surface and. then knowing. the Supreme Court did this with a black. man voted for this. And I think, well, you know, a black man with a. little bit of a asterisk. comes. Just saying we don't claim him. Yeah. Yeah. He he he he he's not with us anymore. >> Yeah. Um and and and I'll say and just. and by the way, just to kind of revise. slightly what I just said earlier,
the whole issue of and and it's. connected, the whole issue of Palestine, which is something I've been passionate. about since I was in a kid. Um. the fact that these people are. play-acting to care about a an a literal. genocide and a literal genocide that has. spread to Lebanon, which is a real thing. that's happening and that they're. performing. um sort of a performative outrage about. that, but right here in our own country, the massacre of the voting rights of 13%.
of the population and then if you want. to include Hispanics, you know, another. 15% of the population, they could give a. damn because their path to power. involves continuing to suppress the. votes of people like me. And [clears throat] the fact that John. Roberts, who as a 26-year-old man. arrived in the Reagan Justice Department. 16 years after the passage of the Voting. Rights Act and declared that they had. done enough. He thought the Voting Rights Act was. finished, dead, and done, and.
unnecessary in 1981, 16 years after its passage. And I think. that's the piece that I sit with a lot. is the time. People think of the '60s. and the '80s as so different. '65 and. '80 is 15 years. He gets there in 16 years later and. says, "We don't need that [Â __Â ] anymore.". As a young 26-year-old man, he already. thought it was over. >> [snorts]. >> And his life's work has been to repeal. not just the Voting Rights Act, but the. 20th century. We have a Supreme Court. that looks at the American century, the.
greatest century in this country's. history, the 20th century, in which we. saw labor rights, child labor laws. abolished, women acquire the right to. vote, women acquire the right to. contraception and abortion to determine. our own fates. And they 14th, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, 100 years. later, finally given the force of law. through the Civil Rights Act and the. Voting Rights Act. Miracles. in the 20th century. This court views.
that century as an abomination and. they've been setting out to repeal the. 20th century ever since they've gotten a. majority. And John Roberts is no. different than Alito, who despises with. an open hatred the 20th century and the. Supreme Court's. including Thurgood Marshall being the. first black justice that implemented. those incredible or that certified those. rights. They hate the idea of equality between. you and me. Because you're a white woman who broke.
out of the kitchen and you are not home. churning butter for your husband and. therefore you're an abomination. And I. as a black woman, a daughter of. immigrants, the fact that I was able to. go to Harvard, God forbid, break into. that white male institution. The fact. that I was able to make it, that I can. economically survive, the fact that I. can vote, I'm an abomination. We're an. abomination to [clears throat] that. court. And they have decided they're. going to dismantle everything good that. was ever done to make this country. great, to turn it back into the 19th.
century hell for people like you and me. And the fact that there's a black man. that is a part of that um. drive to turn us backwards because he is. so corrupt that he would trade every. single black person. in this country for the power and the. baubles and the gifts and the vacations. he gets in exchange makes him an. abomination. And I, >> [clears throat]. >> you know, I I've been saying people have. to stop calling him an Uncle Tom.
because Uncle Tom was actually a hero in. Uncle Tom's Cabin. He actually. sacrificed his life to save two black. women who were running away. Clarence Thomas wouldn't sacrifice. himself for a single black woman, maybe. not even in his family. What he cares about is riches and. baubles and hanging out with the guy. with the Garden of Eden. And John Roberts cares only about. dismantling the Voting Rights Act. He's. been obsessed with it since he was a. young man and now he has the power to do. it. And Barack and the fact that they. used Barack Obama's election, the.
miracle of this. fundamentally black-hating country. electing a black president, the fact. that that's their excuse. to now essentially invalidate. invalidate all three of the. Reconstruction Amendments that made this. country a a livable place in theory for. black people makes it even worse. They're literally twisting those. amendments, turning them upside down, and turning them against black people.
because they know that black people vote. for the most progressive candidate who. can win. >> [snorts]. >> They vote for more taxes on the super. rich. They vote for universal education. and universal health care. That's how. black folks vote. We may be personally. conservative some of us. Some people we. have a range of views, but we vote very. progressive. Yeah. And they hate it, and. they hate us, and they're letting us. know they despise us. And the last thing. I'll add is that the churlish little. nasty [Â __Â ] response. from Samuel Alito to Justice Jackson.
when she dissented to them immediately. implementing their Cali ruling in the. middle of active elections, and his. little bitch-ass response to her shows. that he knows he's wrong. He knows what. he's doing is evil, but he's willing to. do evil in order to have the eternal. corruption that's allowed under a. Republican-ruled Congress. I yeah, he is a bitch-ass. There's no. question, but I want to point out. something that you just did that I think. is a really important example.
>> [sighs and gasps]. >> You sat down and linked our human. rights, me a privileged white woman, and you a a privileged black woman. I. mean, you are now privileged. And you. linked us, and this is something that a. lot of people don't want to do. They. don't want to link. our destinies. And I think what you just. did is so important because a lot of. white women will carry water for the. patriarchy, and they're going to be the. first to drown.
And how you just pointed out that if. they come after you, which you're going. to be the first that they go after, I'm right there. They just keep moving. the goalpost. So, I thought that was. such so important because I always am. messaging to my audience when it comes. to trans rights. You might not. understand it. It might sound weird, but. you cannot anybody's rights. This is. America. It's a free country. It's none. of your goddamn business. And if you. give that up, the Democratic Party is. flirting with you know, throwing them.
under the bus. A lot of establishment. candidates are flirting with throwing. our fellow citizens, less than .01% of. the population, under the bus. And I. always say, you can't do it cuz then. they move the goalpost. They move the. goal goalpost. So, thank you for doing. that. That was a really teachable moment. of how we are all so interconnected. And. Obama responded to the racist AI picture. that Trump posted of him and former. First Lady Michelle Obama. Let's pop. this up. Um former President Barack Obama offered.
his take on President Trump posting an. AI-generated image. Let me get on to. what Obama said. He said, "I don't take. it personally. I mean, I'm always. offended when my wife and kids get. dragged into things because they didn't. choose this. That's a line that even. people whose politics I deeply reject, I. would expect them to care about. I would. never talk about somebody's family in. that way. And so, in this time period where all I hear is. the left needs to tone down the.
rhetoric. >> [laughter]. >> I'm like, [Â __Â ] please. Have you looked. at my social lately? I mean, it is a. rage-baiting. uh crime-provoking. manifesto. Mhm. It's just What's your. take on Obama jumping into that? You. know, um it was interesting. I think it. was Ta-Nehisi Coates when President. Obama when Obama Obama ran, uh and he. said that the reason that he was. electable he's the least angry black man. in America, right? He's the most.
gracious person. there is. He's a far better Christian. than I am. Because I'm like, [Â __Â ] them. >> [laughter]. >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm angrier. [clears throat] about this than he is. because he's just a gracious dude. I. mean, like that is just who he is. That. this is legit. Like I I remember when he. was president, they would do these sort. of behind-the-scenes where, you know, journalists could come in and sit with. him. And and I remember getting, you. know, they go around the table and. everybody gets asked a question. And my. question was about uh John Boehner and.
how John Boehner would just go, you. know, "Hell no, you can't." And would do. all that. And he said, you know, he just. believed that he had to be. performatively. angry at him, but that he thought of him. as just sort of a decent sort of, you. know, cloth coat Republican who behind. the scenes would do deals. And I'm like, do you really think that? And I'm like, I think he really thinks that. Like he. actually is just a gracious guy, right? Um. But I think he has the the. he has the ability to occupy that space. of graciousness. The rest of us.
can rage for him. Um I was so disgusted by what they did. and what Trump did, I should say, um. because it feeds into a trope that I. think Trump believes. You know, Trump. said that African countries are. shitholes. >> Yeah. That black people can't run a. country, and I think he believes a black. man should never run this country. He. doesn't He thinks that black people. should just be athletes and entertainers. and shut the [Â __Â ] up. >> [snorts]. >> And he's offended that his country would. elect this black man. And here he is.
His first political job is president of. the United States. And so, he's. convinced somehow that that's a. meritocracy. Donald Trump is the least. meritorious person that's ever been. president, the least qualified, surrounded by the least qualified idiots. that could possibly be in their jobs. RFK Jr. qualified to do what? Get high. on a public toilet. You know, like what. are these people talking You know, right-wing raccoons. >> [laughter]. >> Like what is this? We're being governed. by like a Saturday Night Live skit. This. is embarrassing. And this is that what. they call meritocracy cuz in their mind,
just being a white man makes you. qualified for [Â __Â ] you know? Yeah. Um. and so, you know, God bless Barack. Obama. I'm glad that he's able to be. gracious. I would love for them to. interview Michelle and see if she said. [laughter] the same thing. >> Yeah. Yeah. I suspect she wouldn't. Yeah. Uh no. And I and I I agree with. you. He's incredibly gracious. I think. he's very emotionally evolved. >> Yeah. And when I see people on my team. that are that gracious, then I think I. have to be triple mad. Yeah. >> If he's letting it go and he's not being. mad, then I have to carry that anger on.
behalf of He's anger translators. >> Yes, exactly. Exactly. Okay. There is. this on the. left, we have the centrists versus the. progressives versus the leftists. And. there is this. weeks-long, never-ending campaign. against Hasan [Â __Â ]. And some have compared him, which I. think is a total false equivalency, to. Nick Fuentes on the left. And Hasan. [Â __Â ] I think their biggest rub with. him, if we were to hook them up to true.
serum and a polygraph, is Hasan [Â __Â ]. says accurately that Israel is an. apartheid state, a terrorist state. He opposes genocide. He's for universal. human rights. Now, he stream Twitch. streams 8, 9 hours a day. Has he said. some [Â __Â ] that you're kind of like, uh? Yeah. And I have too. And I'm sure you. have too. But generally, all his North. Star always goes back to this idea of. universal human rights. >> Mhm. And so, you have third way and some.
other [Â __Â ] that are just having. stage five meltdowns. And they recently. did an op-ed in another op-ed. I would. think we're at like 20 now. >> [laughter]. >> In USA Today over the weekend. And uh uh. comparing him to Nick Fuentes. And I. want to play with you a clip from the. last 48 hours of something that Nick. Fuentes says. And trigger warning, it is. Nick Fuentes. So, there are slurs in. here, but I think it's important that we. read that we allow it to be said.
unedited. Play the clip. We're already a. non-white country. Get a grip. Get real, bro. This is already We already live in. Mogadishu. We already live in. Islamabad. Have you been outside LA, Chicago, New. York? We live in your hell. Okay. Pop that back up, Kylie. And you see. that just the screenshot. You see that. America First hat right there. Okay?
Obviously, he is a an unrepentant. disgusting racist who is rage-baiting. people. But he's getting a large. audience, and. Tucker Carlson and JD Vance, the. President of the United States had. dinner with him. They They do not say he. can't be a part of our team. They They. run interference for him. That whole America First thing. is going to hit really hard.
among the American electorate when a. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes and. Marjorie Taylor Greene trot out and say, "We have spent XYZ billions of dollars. for Benjamin Netanyahu and for Israel. They have health care. They have uh uh. higher education. You don't have jack [Â __Â ] Trump lied to. you. It wasn't America First.". And they also provide this exchange. that a lot of white people like, and.
that is. appetizing, feasting on some just. racism. And then just the N-word. Just, you know, here we are. Just back to. where this you know, it's like the early. '80s when I heard it all the time. Right. You know? Speak to this situation with Hasan, our tent, and then the false equivalency. for people that know better in comparing. Hasan [Â __Â ]. to that performative piece of [Â __Â ]. racist. >> Yeah. I mean, it's I think it's. hilarious that.
um the only thing Hasan [Â __Â ] and Nick. Fuentes have is that they're both. relatively young. Like I mean, that's. about it. They're in about the same age. group, but yeah. Uh. It's interesting to me to watch even. some like black creators on YouTube. clipping Nick Fuentes and they'll clip. the parts where he. decries the genocide in Gaza, right? Just the same way they'll clip Tucker. and people will send me clips of Tucker. decrying the genocide in Gaza.
And they don't clip the part where. Tucker Carlson, who I just think is an. older Nick Fuentes and. right. Nailed it. He's a junior Tucker. Like Totally is. And he's you know, he's fairly you know, coherent thinker, coherent speaker, similar Tucker. And they don't clip the. part where Tucker says that immigrants. make the country dirtier. They they. don't clip that part because he also. says that. If you listen to Tucker long. enough, he'll get to that part too where. where non-white immigrants are. destroying America, which is also what. Nick Fuentes believes.
And Nick Fuentes is he's someone who is. trying to re-normalize the idea of. dropping the N-bomb, right? Of using the. N-word, right? He uses the N-word on a. regular basis, which is like the craving. of a lot of white conservatives. They. feel like they're oppressed because they. can't use the N-word in public anymore. They feel like that's oppression. Freedom of speech, they say. And their. main freedom of speech argument is they. want to say the N-word. They just really. want to They want to rap along to like. Jay-Z when he says the N-word, they want. to say it, too. Okay? That's why they. feel oppressed. The thing I find. hilarious about Nick Fuentes though, is.
his core argument. is that white people are inherently. superior. and have had a 400-year history of. European brilliance that they brought to. America. But also. their white brilliance and their. incredible architecture of America. can be destroyed by 60,000. people from an African country. Just. having 60,000 Somalis in town.
destroys. 400 years [laughter] of brilliant. European Americana. That white people. are both superior and as fragile as an. egg. That if you drop it on the floor, spills. out all its little yellow guts. So there's He's saying we had a 400-year. head start on civilization. yet we're so [Â __Â ] [laughter] up. We're so weak. We're so bad at governing. We're so bad.
at self-governance that just having. 50,000 Mexicans in our community. destroying everything. Yeah. Yeah, I So. it's like you had a 400-year head start, you should be. as rich as Peter Thiel. If you are what. you say you say you are, Nick. Meanwhile, his ass is all you can eat. chips and queso every Taco Tuesday. Don't you know that's what pisses me. off. And don't you live with your mama? Like what are you talking about? YOU. LIVE WITH YOUR MOM. You live with your mom, Nick. And you're. saying you're superior, but you still. live with your mom and you are you are.
the fragile little [Â __Â ] that cannot. survive. 50,000 Puerto Ricans. So so and then but. whereas Hasan [Â __Â ] who actually is. brilliant. I really We recently just. interviewed him on the Joy Reid show. Brilliant young man. He is. Um you know, he went to Cuba. I I think Cuba is much. more autocratic than he does. That's. probably where we kind of disagree, but. his fundamental critique of Israel. which is the same fundamental critique. Nick Fuentes is pretending to do about.
Israel, is true. Yep. Israel is an. apartheid state. It's not me saying it. It's the ICJ. The International Court of. Justice They they've looked at it. The. South Africans brought a case and they. would know them some apartheid and they. said we see apartheid there as did. Nelson Mandela when he looked at what. Israel was building in the '80s. He was. like, "This is apartheid. I know it when. I see it cuz I came from it." And they. are building an apartheid state. They're. also a genocidal violent state. that is building essentially what we say. Iran is, an an ethno.
religious state where if you are a white. Jewish person, you have more rights than. a indigenous Palestinian. They have. taken their indigenous and done what. we've did to our indigenous here. They're wiping them out, stealing their. land. You can get on a plane from. Cleveland, land in Haifa tomorrow, get. in a truck and go out to the West Bank. and put a gun to the head of any. Palestinian farmer you want and as long. as you're Jewish, you get to have their. land. You will have the IDF protecting. you. You can kill them. You can rape,
murder and steal as long as you are the. right religion and race in that country. Even black Falasha Jewish people are. second-class citizens. Palestinians. whose families go back hundreds of years. have almost no rights unless they live. in Israel proper. If you're in the West. Bank, the occupied West Bank, you have. no rights and you almost now have no. country. They've eaten up almost all the. land. They are literally just stealing. these people's land right in the open. and they've colonized their they've. colonized the West Bank. They're now. trying to colonize all of Gaza and.
Lebanon and parts of Syria but by the. way. one of the things that's interesting. about Hasan [Â __Â ] I know this little. earpiece, is that his family comes from. Turkey. His family comes from Turkey, right? From Thessaloniki, which is the. part of that were the Thessalonians in. the Bible. That's what they were talking. about, the Thessalonians. And that. little part of of of of of Turkey is. part of what Israel wants to eat up for. its greater Israel project. They want. five countries. They want to annex parts.
of five countries to build this Eretz. Israel. That's the dream of people like. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. And Benjamin. Netanyahu is willing to let them believe. they can do it. They are literally. eating up southern Lebanon. They are. bombing entire villages and wiping them. out. That is genocide. They are a genocidal state. It's a. violent genocidal state that for some. reason we completely fund and allow them. to do what they want, Democrats and. Republicans alike. So the freakout by. Democrats, by centrist Democrats, who. want Israel to be able to colonize the.
entire Middle East for whatever reason. I don't know why Joe Biden was for this. I don't know why Democrats don't give a. [Â __Â ] about it, but it's wrong. We need. to stop funding it and even Nick Fuentes. is right about that. And if even that. fool. can can see it, they should see it, too, because the base of both parties is. there. Yep. The base of both parties. agrees with this and people are going to. get lulled by a Nick Fuentes and lulled. by a Tucker Carlson and a Candace Owens. because they're saying it now.
So last question and this is. I think at the crux of this whole thing. We are funding all of the war crimes, atrocities, murders, rapes, all of the. stuff that you just mentioned. People in rural Oklahoma, rural Texas, urban areas are funding that, all right? And we're going to have a new breed of. younger, fresher, smarter. con artist come in that's going to. deliver that. The American public is. done funding war criminal Benjamin.
Netanyahu and that government. Um both parties for whatever reason seem. to see this pretty clearly. Maybe not. the ruling classes, but the bases. How linked is. what's happening there, the war crimes there, and us either. corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer. dismissing it, saying he'll make sure they get all. their funding, and then maybe a white. triple trumper lady.
married to. rich guy. in suburban Georgia. who's got three daughters, three daughters that are going to be. having babies. How linked are the human. rights of these issues? How much does that Once we seed some. ground, how much does that leave us all. vulnerable, Joy? 100% because you know, I think about the fact that many of our. police departments. send their officers to Israel to train.
with the IDF. The IDF is you know, I I. I've been trying to I've always been. trying to figure out for years like why. is it that American politicians are so. obsessed with supporting. this country that spies on us? You know, if you ask intelligence. professionals, they'll say, "Oh, Israel. 100% spies on us." Like. they're the country that is most likely. to bug our president, bug our our. politicians. You know, they sort of dog. walk through AIPAC our elected officials. to do things that are not in our. interest. They're in their interest.
They're certainly pursuing their own. interest. Can't knock them for that. But. they don't pursue our interest with us, right? They don't listen to us. They. don't listen to our presidents. Why are. we so for them? Well, in some ways they. are a sort of working experiment in. autocracy and in a police state. because they practice the police state. against the Palestinians and then that. same violence comes right back here. So. it's completely linked. Those things. that are being done to Palestinians will. eventually be done to black folks in. Georgia and once they get done with the.
black folks, they always get to the. white folks, too. We are the canary in. the coal mine, but white Americans. think, "Oh, that's them." No, it comes. to you as well. You're always Everyone's. on the list, right? Women, people of. color, Asian Americans, everybody. Even. Mike Pence. Even Mike. Christian man. Lynch him. Even a white Christian man, if you're not loyal to the script, even. you can go down. Mike [Â __Â ] Pence had. a pet rabbit. I think about that rabbit. a lot. Called his wife mother. Yes, he. did. They even wanted to hang his ass. >> That's exactly right. >> That's incredible.
>> And that's why it's And then they. elected the guy who provoked them to do. it, Joy. It's crazy. >> It's crazy and so we have to start I. think the quote unquote America first. message, Democrats watch out because. that is going to be very powerful for a. lot of voters. Right? Cuz they're going to say, "Why. are we funding full health care for. people in Israel and we don't have. health care here? Why is my rural. hospital closing and they've got. universal cradle to grave health care. and free education that I'm funding? Why. are my tax dollars going to war crimes?
I don't want to pay for that." And I. think the right message for a Democrat, a smart Democrat, is what Hasan [Â __Â ] is. saying. Let's stop spending money on a. Cuban embargo. Let them live. Let them. do whatever they're doing. If you don't. like their system of government, fine, don't go over there. Don't visit. Leave. them alone. Let's bring our money back. home. Let's repatriate our tax dollars. Let's make sure we're building hospitals. here. Let's make sure that we have. health care and child care and a care. economy where we're taking care of. ourselves. Maybe we don't need to build. another $90 million B-2 bomber or.
whatever. Maybe we should use that. money, I don't know, to build decent. schools in my neighborhood. I think the. message for Democrats ought to be we. need to repatriate our money here. If. you don't steal that America first. message, somebody like Tucker is going. to take it and run right to the White. House with it. You're exactly right, and. that's why I wanted her to pop that back. up with Nick Fuentes with that messaging. there because it's coming. Yes. And it. will hit hard. And the Democrats cannot. respond to this by saying, "Oh, it's. complicated." In a patronizing way to.
the electorate, "You don't understand. the history." What we do understand is. the now. That's right. >> exactly what's happening right now. And. the Democrats need to say in Grand. Platner has Mhm. Instead of spending. money to bomb schools, we need to build. schools. Instead of spending money to. bomb hospitals, we need to find health. care. And they need to say it simply. And they need to steal the America first. thing immediately because what happens. inevitably is these [Â __Â ] Republicans. define us. And you remember that fight I.
got in with Rahm Emanuel? They define us. about the trans issue. And he says, "We. need to quit talking about the bathroom. issues and start talking about the. kitchen table issues." No, Rahm, what we. need to do is say, "Why is everybody in MAGA so obsessed. with genitals? Why is Grindr always. crashing whenever Turning Points. Together?". >> Come on. "Why is Elon Musk have 95 petri. dish babies all over Twitter asking for. child support yet y'all are racist?".
>> Come on. I mean, come on. They need to. play offense and quit [Â __Â ] around. with these people and allowing them to. define us. But when I see that Nick. Fuentes stuff that America first having. lived in. the you know, homeland, the heartland of. America, the buckle of the Bible Belt, Oklahoma City, I know that message will. hit hard. Yeah. >> I know it will. And that the N-word. Trump like. Trump has primed them to take racism to. the next level. >> Right. What Trump is incubating right.
now is that. George W. Bush incubated Trump cuz. George W. Bush, now he paints you know, pictures of immigrants and all this. [Â __Â ] But he was a homophobe, uh. really not an equal rights type guy at. all. And uh. Islamophobe, George W. Bush, and then. he's in. Donald Trump is incubating that Nick. Fuentes [Â __Â ] It's going to be a million. times worse if the Democrats don't start. playing offense. 100%. Final thought. The reality is you remember cuz I worked.
in that 2004 campaign when I got out of. news because I hated the Iraq War and I. was like, "I [Â __Â ] it. I'm going to try. to get this guy out of office." So, I. did what you know, by myself. single-handedly in Florida. So, I went. and worked for American Coming Together. and we were watching as they did 11. different state. ballot initiatives to stop gay marriage. Remember? That's how he won. He was. supposed to lose based on people's anger. about the war. A war that a war of. choice, a war we didn't need to fight. with Iraq for no reason. And he pivoted.
to anti-gay marriage and that's how he. won. >> Traditional family values. That's what they're good at is lying. about what they Yes. And I always just. think like the Democrats need to say, "When you hear the word traditional, that is bigotry. That is sexism." Cuz. they're saying that if you're divorced, if you're. two gay dads, two gay moms, that you're. not traditional. If you're mixed race, in their mind that is not traditional. They use this coded language. Now, DEI.
is just the new N-word. >> That's right. Urban or urban is signaling that the. cities are so dangerous and and in their. urban and cities. Now, that's the new. thing. But Nick, he's already. unshackled. Yeah. Trump invited him to. Mar-a-Lago. He dined with him. And he. feels 10 ft tall and bulletproof enough. to continue in his message dropping the. N-word like that. And that is what is. [Â __Â ] coming if the Democrats What are. they doing? They're picking a fight with.
Hasan. >> Picking a fight with [Â __Â ] With Hasan. [Â __Â ] who's actually a great messenger. I mean, think about it. The reason to. take it back to where we were before, the reason that they're suppressing. black votes is they can't win black. voters, right? Why can't they win black. voters? It's not like black people, you. know, have always been Democrats. Black. people were actually Republicans all. three times that black folks voted 70/30. for FDR. All three times they were still. majority calling themselves Republicans. Black folks were just like, "We're going. to vote for whoever we think is the most. progressive who can win." What have. Republicans done when it came to black.
voters? They actively said, "Fuck off.". >> [laughter]. >> [Â __Â ] off. They said, "Fuck off." Okay? They said, "We don't want you." Right? So, Nixon said southern strategy and he. was on the phone with Reagan calling. Africans monkeys. And he made it very. clear, southern strategy, "We don't want. your votes." Ronald Reagan launches his. campaign in 1980 literally within what, 15 years of Dr. King being murdered, he. launches his campaign in Neshoba County, Mississippi where Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney were killed. Huge bat signal.
to the far right. Huge bat signal to. racist. And then he did the whole. welfare queen lie when he took a story. of a white woman who was stealing. welfare and said it was a black woman, completely made up the story, put a. black woman in it instead. What did. George Herbert Walker Bush do? He was. supposed to be the good Bush. He said, "If you don't vote for me, you vote for. that Greek, there going to be black. people crawling through your window. killing you." Remember that? He did. that. His whole campaign was black black. scare. This is what they do and then. they wonder why we don't vote for them. You know, with George W. Bush,
he was giving us endless war, promising. promising you know, he's going there. with the Project for the New American. Century. We're like, "We're just. proportionally in the military. We don't. want to fight your wars." And then going. after gay people as you said. They do. hate campaigns and then wonder why we. don't vote for them. Whereas Bill. Clinton was like, "Hey, I love the. sexual and I like black people. Come on. and hang with me." We were like, "Okay, fine. He seems like the least [laughter]. racist of the two. We'll take him." And. then there was Obama and of course Biden. who was like, you know, what was it? Corn Pop. He's like, "Corn Pop was my. friend. Corn Pop was this black guy.". And we were like, "Corn Pop ain't even. real. We're going to go with that guy.". You know what I mean? Right. Right. So,
we're going with the people who seem who. seem like they don't hate us. Right? So, the fact that that's what Republicans. have done, they wonder why we won't vote. for them. Democrats' problem is they. think that means that we love Democrats. We don't. Black folk don't love. Democrats. Black folk want to survive in. America. And we're going to vote for the. party that we think is going to help us. survive and then do the least harm to. us. We're harm reduction voters, which. is what Hasan [Â __Â ] called himself, a. harm reduction voter. So, the reality is. Democrats need to communicate how. they're going to reduce the harm.
of what's being done to all Americans. right now. Even MAGA Americans are being. harmed economically. What can you do? One thing is you need to name the. villain. Republicans are really good at naming. the villain. That random trans kid. you're never going to meet. That's the. villain. That random immigrant Joy Reid, [laughter]. your Jennifer. Meet the Meet the villain, right? We're. the villain. We're terrible because we. curse and we're mean and we're not nice, right? But the reality is you know who. the villains are? [Â __Â ] billionaires. Oh, totally. They're. parasites. They're parasites. Like total.
parasites. Just name them. Say who's. doing it. Say who's doing this to you. It is billionaires. It's now Trump is a. billionaire. It's the Epstein class. Epstein class is the villain. Name it, it's not Palestinians. It's the Epstein class. Just name the. villain, define what you're going to do. to reduce the harm, and stop being. schmucks. Agreed. My statement is all. Democratic politicians need to say, "MAGA is an anti-family, pro-pedophilia. death cult." Yes. All of their policies.
lead to that. All right, Joy Reid, we. are so lucky to have you and to have. your voice and to learn from all of your. knowledge and your analysis, my friend. I love you so much. >> I love you right back and there is not a. thing you can do about. >> [laughter]. >> Go follow Joy Reid. Support We support. each other and I want you to support my. partners in independent media, The Joy. Reid Show, right here, baby. And she's. got the I've Had It. It's a MAGA. exchange. Cheers. Yes, cheers. All. right. Boom. Bye, guys.
