IHIP News: Trump IN COLLAPSE After World Leaders Call Him 'MENTALLY ILL AND IMPAIRED" Publicly!
Some stunning information regarding. Trump's deal with Iran. This should be a. top news story. Take a listen to this. >> Irani inside added uh senior. psychologists to their negotiating team. to review the communications. that they were going to be sending to. the mediators to give to Trump. And they. did that because the Iranians believe. that Trump is legitimately mentally ill. and and is operating in an impaired.
mental state. And they didn't say this. is a joke. They didn't say this with any. lightness. They said, "We recognize that. we are dealing with a mentally. incapacitated. um individual and we've had senior. psychologists work up a psychological. profile of what they think is going on. with Trump's brain. And so we started to. cater our messages. >> All right, and joining me to discuss. this is my good friend Jason Stanley. here in studio. He is a philosopher and. leading scholar of fascism. He is the.
author of several books including. erasing history, how fascist rewrite the. past to control the future. Jason, welcome. And what do you make of this. American weakness on display on display. and you don't see this in mainstream. media anywhere. >> Yeah, I mean I I think that there's a. kind of push in the mainstream media to. represent what is clearly not normal as. normal. So there's this constant.
normalizing structure that we're seeing. here in the United States now. This. constant pretending that the debacle. yesterday on the lawn of the White House. of the United States of America, this. august uh. building in which we house our. presidents, you know, being being. sullied like this. We're all supposed to. be pretending it's normal. And the New. York Times with this this, you know. all these mainstream media outlets are.
all you know they all have to pretend. that this is normal. Why they have to do this is an. interesting question. Maybe it's itself. a kind of mental illness. >> No question. And I mean in. 15 years ago if Barack Obama if it was. reported that one of our major. adversaries said this guy's off his. rocker and we need a psychiatrist in. here to help us negotiate with him. It. would be disqualifying. The news would. apply a guardrail that would force.
Republican politicians and Democratic. politicians alike to reckon with this. But instead it's just like you said all. of the same washing. Which speaking of. the Iran deal. Benjamin Netanyahu has come out. basically his government and said. they're not going to honor it. Pop this. up. Netanyahu told Trump the IDF will not. withdraw from Lebanon and that Israel. does not consider itself bound by the. Lebanon clause in the US Iran agreement.
And I just want to remind the viewer. that Benjamin Netanyahu is charged with. war crimes of starvation. carpet bombing civilian populations etc. So. the fact that they're still our ally and. this goes unreported as well that our. ally has said to the president tough. titties we're going rogue. You're not. you're not a big the big guy that you. think you are. >> Yeah I. >> mean Israel just dictates terms to the. United States and Trump is the most. pro-Israel president the United States.
has ever had. He's done everything for. the state of Israel. In fact the Iran. war was done for the purposes of the. state of Israel. Israel. Israel the Republicans have been the. party of. of Benjamin Netanyahu. They're. essentially Benjamin Netanyahu's party. in the United States and they they. subsume US national interest to Israeli. national interest. That's what the. Republican Party stands for. That's. their chief brand. There's a Saturday.
Night Live episode from 2011 about this. About like, we heard Chuck Hagel that. you think that Israel and our interests. are not 100% always aligned. So, yeah, the US Republican Party is entirely. beholden not to specifically the far. right in Israel. And so, uh so Netanyahu. doesn't feel bound by anything they're. doing. And as the New York Times. reported, the Iran war. was started because Netanyahu went into.
the situation room and took it over with. the Mossad in the background on video. And presented the case for the Iran war. to Trump. And that's something and. despite the fact that the United States. is going to war with Israel fully as its. partner, much of the mainstream media. has been reporting that the war has been. done on behalf of Saudi Arabia or Qatar. or or or anyone but the person who was. in the situation or Putin,
>> Right. Right. >> So, so, you know, so this is this is. what we see. The US Republican Party, Trump is. here to represent the interests of. the. the current government of the state of. Israel. And that's what what he does. And it's not reported on much in the. press. Now, I I assume that's not that's part. that's I think. my suspicion is that's because of Jared. Kushner. I don't know this, but it's.
because of connections to money and. autocracy globally. It's you know, but. but whatever the reason, we are partnering fully with Israel. Our. military is integrated with them in this. attack on Iran. They we got rid of the original nuclear. deal with Iran, which was all what Trump. is trying to get again. >> To the tune of 300 billion more dollars. >> exactly. All All Netanyahu told him to.
shelve it, he shelved it, you know, and. Trump won. Now we're just trying to get. to where Obama had already gotten. >> So as this relates to your book, how. fascist rewrite the past to control the. future. Right now, these are two huge stories. that are presented to you. Iran says. this will be easy. All we have to do is. hire a psychologist cuz this guy's brain. is cooked. He's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. He's not well, so we can have a. psychologist manipulate him. There's. been rumors that former KGB agent.
Vladimir Putin uses deploys the same. tactics. Well, we can also assume that. Israel has done the same thing. And I. the file I'm sure is this thick Jason. and it says pile on superficial. flattery. Tell him how great he is, how. tough he is, how strong he is. We asked. every other president to do this and. they said no, but you're going to be the. one that does it. He's like, you know, Trump's like, "Oh yeah, I'll do it.". The fact that the media is not. appropriately reporting this story in.
tandem with this man's decline and with. our adversaries manipulating him by. using psychologists and psychiatrists to. prey on his weakness. What does that say about our democracy. and what does that say about what stage. of fascism are we Jason? Because that's. the scariest question and you're the. expert on this. >> Right. So I I I don't like the phrase. our democracy because even at the best. of times we've not had a healthy. democracy. And now that we've eliminated. the Voting Rights Act and returned the.
United States back to the era of Jim. Crow, we don't have it. We're not a. democracy anymore because we're not. going to have, you know, black citizens. in the American South are not going to. have political power for decades to. come. So, we're no longer, I think, even. officially a democracy, I wouldn't say. But, but narrative control is central to. fascism, to any kind of. authoritarianism. We don't need to. debate about whether it's fascism or or. not, what flavor of authoritarianism is, narrative control. So,
so, you know, my book Erasing History is. about why we're they're attacking. universities and schools and and the. media as well and science. So, we have. full full attempt to take over narrative. control. It's all one story here, Jennifer. It's all the attack on. universities, the attack on science. Now, they're taking over federal grants. so that federal science grants have to. be politically approved. Why is that? Because they, you know, you can't have. science being independent.
Authoritarianism needs full narrative. control. So, you can't have any rogue. people telling you, for instance, that, you know, some disease is coming and. doing something that you don't want. people to think it's doing. So, you need. full narrative control. So, you need to. pay attention as we slide further and. further into authoritarianism to the. takeover uh to this takeover of. narrative control. Now, we know Bari. Weiss was put in in control of CBS. Who.
is Bari Weiss? Bari Weiss uh started out. her career at Columbia trying to target. the Joseph Massad uh a professor there. in his tenure. Uh she was described. herself as a a Zionist fanatic. So, her number one issue is defending. Israel. So, she's now in charge of CBS. So, she. we already know she's attacked 60. Minutes. And they have they've already. told us. when Colbert was fired, they said,
"We're doing it for economic reasons. His show's not profitable." Well, 60. Minutes was incredibly profitable. Why. are they destroying 60 minutes? Well, it. has nothing to do with profit. And David. Allison doesn't need money. He already. has enough money. They are not taking. over the media for money or for profit. as they're showing when they're taking. down 60 minutes. They're taking down 60. minutes. uh because it's dangerous. It's. independent media. And notice the lying. to us, the consistent lying to us. They.
always say the same thing. They say, "Oh, we'll keep the media independent.". So, now the Paramount merger, they're. going to take over more networks and. they've told us we're going to keep the. media independent. Well, they've already. taken down CBS. They've taken down 60. minutes, the most profitable show. They've taken it down for political. reasons. So, they've already shown us they're not. going to keep the media independent. Now, they're going to take over the. uh more and more of the media. And so, we're going to really need to rely on.
you, Jennifer, and other independent. media organs like Zeteo or Mehdi Hasan. Zeteo or other uh Democracy Now, other. independent media uh organizations uh to. to tell us the truth because what what. they're setting up now uh obviously. Barry Weiss's primary thing is defending. Israel and Trump and the Republican. Party are the most pro-Israel. you know, uh it's most pro-Israel regime. we've ever had. Uh but.
uh but there's other things here. There's the midterms. So, why do they. need such control so quickly? Well, they. clearly want to lock down the whole as. much of the media as possible before the. midterms. So, that when. uh they steal the midterms. and when they say the vote was rigged or. whatever, they have people not on Fox. News this time, but on CBS. and CNN saying, "Well, the. administration says dot dot dot.".
>> So, let me ask you this. If Donald Trump. and the MAGA Republicans are the biggest. supporters of Israel, they are also. incredibly anti-Semitic. Like you see. these young Republican chat groups. that's just like Nazi stuff for, you. know, for the sake of just being the. cool, you know, WASPy white guy. And the. president the vice president of the. United States wouldn't condemn these. Nazi chats. And the president after. Charlottesville. And so there seems to.
be this it's it's nuanced this whole. thing. But there seems to be this moment in in. history where I feel like on the left. people are saying Israel is committing. war crimes. They are far right-wing. authoritarian/fascist government. We do. not want to partner with them. They're. killing too many kids. Starving people out. This is horrible. And on the right it is it support of. Israel for the sake of the Jewish state.
or is it just about money? Like. developing Gaza or that. What it What is that? That conundrum in. all of that? >> Well, I think I think there are. obviously personal ties between Trump. and and between Trump and Trump's family. and Kushner and and Netanyahu and those. are I believe that Netanyahu's and. Kushner's are have personal friendships. and that matters in politics. That's. independent of identities. Uh. I think that I think that there are that.
that I think I mean. there's a lot of lobbying happening. on on on behalf of Israel. and they are taking advantage of that. lobbying. I think that many American. Jewish people, wealthy American Jewish. people have lost the plot. We American. Jews are under threat from. anti-Semitism. There anti-Semitism is a. permanent thing. It is always going to. be there. And what people like Jonathan.
Greenblatt have done is they've placed. we American Jews in existential danger. because they've partnered with the far. right. So so you know, they said to the. far right, "We're going to ditch. Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL is like. we don't care about democracy. We don't. care about free speech. We don't care. about equal rights. All we care about is. backing Netanyahu. All we care about is. backing the Israeli state's actions. right now. We don't care about the. safety of American Jews. We don't care.
about democracy. We don't care about. free speech. But when you do that, you're going to empower anti-Semites. >> Yeah. >> You're going to give you're going to. hand the ball to ultimately a far right. that is not going to remember that you. helped them take democracy back. >> Right. Right. Kind of like Pam Bondi. learned. If you carry water for the. patriarchy, you're going to be the first. to drown. I mean and that's just Um. okay. The Trump DOJ, like you said, had. cleared the way for the Paramount.
merger. Um and as you see the Trump. administration. and these um oligarchs, there seems to. be not a distinct line of where. government ends and where government. begins. It seems to be very fused. together right now. It seems like all of. these things are an extension of the. white trash house. It's hard for me to. call it the white house any longer after. what I witnessed last night, Jason. But. what happens to nations when you have.
the oligarchs and the state melting. their powers like this? >> The fusing of the state and corporate. interests. Yes. It's we have just one authoritarian. structure here. So the job that what. what the autocrat is saying is he's. saying to the oligarchs, I'm going to. give you all the taxpayers' money, like. taxpayers' money is going to go to my. family and your pocketbooks. All the.
government contracts are going to go to. you, and then you're going to back me. and my party and the machine behind me, because remember this is not just Trump. This is a permanent push to end US. democracy. So this is not about Trump. This is a structure that if Trump is. gone is going to be still there. Vance is even more a tool of the. oligarchs. He's a Peter Thiel. mentee. So Peter Thiel mentee. Peter. Thiel. Peter Thiel. >> He is a tool. >> Peter Thiel.
>> [laughter]. >> So So this fusion of oligarchical. interests in the state. has unifies autocracy, because now, you. know, the the the Trump is a using his. his cult following to hand their to. empower him, and they're handing their. futures and the futures of their. children and grandchildren over. They're. giving them to the oligarchs. All the. state contracts are going to the. oligarchs, right? And and to Trump himself and Trump's.
family. And that's the deal. The oligarchs keep. him in power, and he keeps them rich. with the taxpayer money of the poor. fools who, you know, are just. what they get is that that people on the. coasts get upset when they see Trump is. president. That's all they get. Then. they get their tax. their tax money taken away. They get no. future. They get inflation, and all the. money of our country goes into the.
pockets of the owners of the. surveillance state who are going to then. micro-target us for to spend all of our. money on their wares, and micro-target. us politically to keep us in permanent. outrage, so we keep handing power to the. autocrat who gives them who who gives. them our money. >> The Republican Party's ability to get. people, working-class Americans, to vote. against their own interest and their own. values. They have been so incredibly.
successful at that. I want to. switch gears to Trump's announcement of. his 4th of July rally. And and you tell. me just how fascist authoritarian this. is. Pop this up, Kylie. He He posts I. call it lie social instead of true. social. He posts on lie social. On July. 4th at the Lincoln Memorial and. Washington Monument in beautiful and. safe Washington, D.C., we are going to. host the most spectacular Trump rally of. them all, a tribute to America. A celebration will honor the country's.
people, spirit, strength, resolve, and. triumphs. So, this fusion here of a. Trump rally with the birthday of. America. So, he does this fusion with. the oligarchs. Is this what he does to. keep the cult. in intact? Is this a handout to them? Like, remember that we, you know, our. country, this overt nationalism, our. spirit, our strength, our resolve, and. our triumphs. >> So, this is a personalist regime. So, it's a. regime based that and we might, after.
Trump is gone, it's probab- probably going to stay a. fascist country, but it'll be less. personalist. But Trump But we might. still see these Trump might still be. like uh his image might still be on. everything as the founder of the new. regime. But uh but Trump is saying. America is Trump. And America is Trump. He won twice in free and fair elections. Americans voted for him. But he is. making America synonymous with Trump. 250th.
anniversary, what you're celebrating is Trump. Trump. is America. And what that means is that. your taxpayer money should go to the. Trump family because they are they are. the the owners. They are America. The. richer they are, the richer America is. So, this cannot be separated from the. corruption. This is the most corrupt uh. I mean, to say it's the most corrupt. regime in the history of the United. States is a joke because it's one of the. most corrupt regimes in human history. Right. It's a pure corrupt.
They profited billions and billions of. dollars off the presidency. And you can. only but he has to justify that, right? He has to give a reason why your money. goes to him. So, your money goes to him. and his family uh because uh because he. is America. And so, the richer he is, the richer America is. So, So, Trump, thanks to the voting public. of the United States, has ended the. United The United States just is Amer-. Trump. And you know, Trump's family.
should be the richest family in the. world or one of the richest families. because that's just to say America is. That's just how every tin-pot dictator. does it in every Latin American country. or Eastern European country. Every. tin-pot dictator like, you know, in uh. in uh. you know, in Kazakhstan or Turkmenistan. or whatever. That's that's just how they. roll. Everything is that uh dictator. So, So, that's what we're seeing for the. 250th anniversary. He is saying you are.
celebrating Trump. You are selling It is. a celebration of the unification of. America with Trump. What America now. represents is is Trump and his wealth. and gaudiness are just showing off like. any Eastern European dictators uh. enormous castle. >> Yeah. I want to ask you, you said after Trump, we'll still be a fascist country. And. >> Probably. I don't. >> My heart kind of sank a little bit. And.
is it is it that whenever people move. the goal post and give an executive. power, a new person that comes in rarely. will seed that power back. Is that Is. the Overton window just shifted that. much for American politics? >> I don't think there's any rule. I think. there has to be Whatever happens, the. country has changed so much. We live, you know, I think they move too fast. They're They. don't care about popular opinion. It's. very clear. Trump has never tried to. broaden his popular support, not for a.
second. He's always said, "If you didn't. vote for me, you are the enemy and we're. going to punish you." J.D. Vance is. going around accusing all the dem blue. states of fraud. That's the whole The. whole thing The whole thing is a So, they don't care about popular support. So, it just follows logically, just use. your reasoning power, that they think. elections don't matter from now on. Because they're not trying to make. elections. They're not trying to make a. pitch for elections mattering. Now, I. think they don't have elections locked.
locked down. I think they're still They haven't. completely taken over the courts. They. The oligarchs have taken over the. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is not. necessarily fully pro-Trump. They're. pro-oligarch. >> Yeah. >> So, So, they're going to vote on behalf. of the oligarchy and whatever autocar. autocratic mechanisms are. But, I think. there's just a ton of resistance and. there's a lot of incompetence at I mean, I'm glad there's incompetence. That's what we're we're talking here. >> Yeah. >> So,
So, I think that they moved too fast. They're acting like they've got. elections nailed down forever. That elections won't matter anymore. So, I I think they've done a sort of Hail. Mary to the future saying, "Okay, we. will figure out how to make elections. not matter." They're taking over the. press now so that whatever pitch they. make to steal the midterms. They're. already stealing the midterms. They've. ended the Voting Rights Act, returned us. to Jim Crow. They've. They've gerrymandering.
radically. They've The Supreme Court is. just like, you know, like like Virginia. whatever you want Virginia can't it's. gerrymandering in response like the red. states can. So, but they're really they're taking over. the media in this rush because they want. if if the elections go badly for them, they want the media to broadcast their. narrative narrative control. So, uh. >> Yeah. Okay, the Trump administration. this goes to the title of your book.
erasing history. They tried to erase a. lot of stuff when he arrived. All right, I don't know about you guys, but I've grown so tired of shaving and. the razors for women are never really. that great. It's like you're paying a. pink tax nearly double the money just. because you're buying women's products. A self-care routine should be a ritual, but bad razors make it an absolute. chore. That's why I want to tell you. about Flamingo. Flamingo's original. razor, five sharp blades, a 360°.

And after you. purchase, they'll ask where you heard. about them. Please support our show and.
tell them that we sent you. But as you said, some of the courts are. holding. Federal judges, a lot of them. Trump appointees, George W. Bush. appointees, are holding the line and. shocked at the um uh. rot in the Supreme Court. And here's an. example, pop this up. Uh Reuters is reporting US judge orders. Trump administration to reinstall signs. exhibits it removed from national parks. discussing topics like slavery and.
climate change. And this is, you know, somewhat hopeful. Obviously, if it got. up to the Supreme Court, Jason, they. would, you know, bend over immediately. But we see everyday Americans and even. right-wing appointees in the federal. court holding the line here a little. bit, which gives us all a glimmer of. hope possibly about the midterms because. what we're seeing is record number of. people registering as Democrats. And. with a big, big move in the midterms, it.
would have to be too big to rig, obviously. There could be a guardrail. here, which I talked to our friend Ruth. Ben-Ghiat, and she said, "That's why. he's so obsessed on his bunker." Cuz it. he associates that as like his safe. place. Obviously, he can't build it in. time. But you you've mentioned the. Voting Rights Act being removed um. dismantled. And we talk a lot about you hear online. You hear there's a rise in antisemitism, there's a rise in this. There is. the biggest rise and the biggest threat.
in our democracy, I think, has been and. currently the biggest attacks are on our. black population. Nobody is suffering at the hands of what. he's doing as much as our black citizens. are. And I am very concerned about how the. Voting Rights Act was just dismantled. just like Roe v. Wade was, and we're just kind of all moving on, and we just keep seeing this passivity,
you know, in the population. What's your. take on all that? >> Yeah, so I think so. several different issues you raised. I. think there's a big big difference. between Trump one judges and Trump two. judges. I think the judges that were. appointed in Trump's first term, while. while they are far right, are still, you. know, within the bounds of sort of. legalistic sanity, whereas the Trump two judges are not. And so so any authoritarian's going to. need to take over the courts. So they're.
doing a rush to take over the courts. with just the sort of crazy out of the. people who are just like, we are just. here to impose Christian nationalism and. oligarchy. So so I think it's a race there. So that's that's one issue. I think that. as you alluded to, we can still win it it's already an. unfair election. They've already. gerrymandered. You can you can win, you. know, I mean, with Memphis, they cut. Memphis into these districts so that,
you know, 20% black population goes with. a huge rural white congressional. district to make their votes pointless. So so. so we're already having an unfair. election, but you can still win an. unfair election, as my colleague Luke. and I always points out. In a. competitive authoritarian system, you. can still win. You just have to win by. 25, 30 points. What happened in Hungary. Has to be too big to rig, and has to be. the you just have to have a massive.
victory. So we can still win this, and. that is why everything is on the. midterms. The. they're trying to lock down the media, so it's going to be heavy when like CBS. is going to report whatever Trump tells. them to report. CBS, the job of CBS now. is to be like the official objective Fox. News. [laughter] Like, so they're not. going to be ranting there, they're going. to be sounding all official and. scientific polite Fox News. >> just euthanize homeless.
people? >> Right. Right. Right. So, so so their job. Fox News is to job is to continue to be. Fox News. Then we're going to get a. whole bunch of networks who are going to. promote administration lies or. sane-wash, do everything from. sane-washing to promoting the. administration's lies and perspectives. under the cover of objective journalism. So, that just becomes a uh. So, uh but we can we can still win this. if we just do what Hungary did did and.
win by a percentage that is just. undeniable. We have to empower the. youth. Last when I spoke here to you. about the Hungarian elections, I think I. said something that I now disagree with. I said that you know, okay, we have to, you know, we we have to, you know, uh it. we might have to pick someone more. centrist to draw up our broader tent. I. think we have to draw the youth in. That's what what Hungary did. They draw.
drew a huge youth vote. We have to like. energize the youth. So, >> The way Mondaire Jones has done here in. New York. >> Precisely. So, if we can if we can. broaden that, if we can just get a huge. vote, uh. we can we can begin to repair uh the. damage that has been done. But, the. damage but whatever comes next has to be. just a different country. >> Yeah. >> There if if if they win, it's going to. be a different country. It's going to be.
a country founded by Trump year one and. Trump's will be the god and then all the. successive the Trump family will come in. and out of power and and it'll be like. that. But, if if democracy wins, then. we're going to have to redo things so. this doesn't happen again. And that will. mean. addressing legacy of racism. >> Yep. >> Uh it will mean. stop, you know, addressing things so. that white grievance can't be.
weaponized. It will mean addressing. things so that transphobia can't be. weaponized. Uh it will be. it will be addressing things so that. people stop voting to destroy their. children's futures. >> And I think we're going to have to. address billionaires and now. trillionaires. We're going to have to. address the economic system that is. rigged for mediocre white men to excel. in an economy. And then the one the most. famous one is a an immigrant Elon Musk,
which I don't care about, but Maga does, who gets a lot of government subsidies. And he is now trillionaire, and he. spends all of his time online allegedly. on ketamine acting like he is a victim. of racism. And then he bashes the. government. And I just want to remind. everybody, when Elon Musk and Donald. Trump broke up last year, it was this. delicious Twitter fight they had. And. Elon Musk said, "Well, Trump's not going.
to release the Epstein files cuz he's in. them.". And then Trump came out with this. banger, popped this up. Uh Trump tweeted, and I'm going to get. to the center of it. Elon may get more. subsidy than any human being in history. by far. And without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up. shop. And so I just want to remind. everyone that this guy that complains. about government has enriched himself so. much, who complains about immigrants, is.
an immigrant, who uh complains about the. him being a victim of racism racism, all. he does is repost Holocaust deniers, um all of this weird white supremacist. eugenist stuff. But this thing right. here, a trillionaire in the United States of. America who had the keys. to the government the first three or. four months, the keys to the Treasury. >> of our information. >> Yes, what do we do an incoming Let's say.
it's too big to rig. Let's be positive. for a second. It's too big to rig. It's. like Hungary, that kind of turnout. It's. I mean flipping House and Senate seats. everywhere. What kind of accountability to what he. did with Doge and this sort of wealth, um how do we address that, Jason? >> Yeah, I don't think we know. I think. this United States is done. Like, so. what comes. now is got to be something that we.
haven't really imagined yet. It's got to. be and I think it's possible for us to. remake the country so that billionaires, tax fascists, that they get account that. we get accountability or some. accountability or their power is reined. in. I think all of that is possible. It. just has to be a very different vision. of the country. It It has to be a like a. new country where we don't allow this. kind of wealth inequality anymore. We. don't allow this kind of crazy wealth. and and crazy poverty where the only.
thing you get if you're not a. billionaire is you get you know to get. happy that you know your billionaires. are racist and. >> [laughter]. >> and can go on and on about. their anti-black racism and and. transphobia.
