The RevolYOUtion: October 15, 2025
When it comes to getting policy passed, the media plays a massive role. Cenk Uygur discusses on The Young Turks.
- 29 minutes
Look, I love this awakening
that we're going through.
And so now everybody's getting caught.
Everybody's getting caught on AIPAC.
Everybody's getting caught
on all their donors.
Or it's begun, at least.
And what's going to happen eventually,
guys, is the podcasters,
and the folks in online media are going
to start to humiliate mainstream media,
[00:00:19]
because mainstream media never asked
the politicians any tough questions.
All they, all they ever do
is kiss their ass 24 over seven.
So eventually it's going
to get embarrassing.
And then when you look at like a cable
news anchor just going, oh.
Democrat, you're so great.
Oh, Mr. Republican, oh.
[00:00:35]
They're going to get exposed.
And I freaking love it.
And so, by the way, of course the
politicians are going to get exposed, too.
That's what I mean by a revolution.
So we got to get our country back, man.
None of these politicians serve us.
So, now the two things we've been doing
this is day five or whatever it is
[00:00:51]
of the revolution, I've lost track already
is that we're trying to work on,
things that unite the left and the right.
And by the way, that's about
at least two thirds of the issues.
So you think we're super divided?
We all hate each other.
We're about to go to Civil War, etc.
On which issues?
[00:01:09]
A third of the issues.
Yes, almost all of them.
Culture war issues.
The other two thirds,
almost all economic issues.
We agree completely.
Why don't you know
that we all agree already?
Because mainstream media lied to you
and tried to divide you
and tried to get you to hate one another.
Because they are corporate media.
[00:01:24]
They work for the corrupt corporations
that are buying
all of our corrupt politicians.
So anyways, we're trying to find some
good people and we're trying to push them
in the right direction,
even if they're not good people.
So there's two things we're
working on trying to lower drug prices
[00:01:40]
through this bill, H.R. 3493.
So that's the idea of Democrats
and Republicans calling it chronic care
because Ro Khanna
originally came up with it.
But there's more Republican sponsors
than Democratic sponsors right now.
How come it's bipartisan?
Because it's Trump's executive order,
and kind of took it verbatim
[00:01:58]
and turned it into a bill, H.R. 3493,
Global Fairness and Drug Prices Act.
And what it does is it says we should pay
the same price as other developed nations.
There's no drug companies
still make a ton of profit at that price.
So why are we all purposely overpaying?
Oh, right.
[00:02:15]
Because our politicians are dogs
who work for Big Pharma.
Totally and utterly corrupt.
So this could expose it because, hey,
are are you for Trump's executive order
or aren't you if you're a Republican,
if you're a Democrat,
this is a policy you've been in favor
of your whole life or you claim to.
[00:02:31]
You pretended to.
If you're a Democratic politician,
so why wouldn't you sign on?
So we reached out to a couple
of congressional people.
One of you suggested, hey, we should
reach out to Representative Tim Burchett.
He's very right wing.
He was on Tucker Carlson's show
the other day.
I two thirds of the time,
I think he says things that are crazy
[00:02:49]
and I don't agree with.
And a third of the time I'm
surprised that I agree with him.
Okay.
Now that he's not a regular person,
he's a politician.
That's why it's a little bit different.
That's why it's inverted, right,
with a regular Republican voter, I'll
probably agree two thirds of the time,
and so will any Democrat if they
ever get past like the culture wars
[00:03:06]
and the mutual hatred, etc..
So anyways, so when you came up with
the idea, well, let's reach out to him.
So let's do it.
So I'm going to try something different
on today's show.
So there's Representative
Tim Burchett's information.
That's his phone number.
Congressional office number.
We're not doxing him.
That's actually his political office
that you're calling.
[00:03:22]
And you as a citizen,
you should his on Insta.
He's Tim Burchett with two T's on X, he's
at Tim Burchett with two T's, of course.
And we're asking him
to co-sponsor H.R. 3093.
This should be a no brainer for him.
[00:03:37]
It's Trump's executive order
word for word.
Where's the question?
Where's the question?
So you're not being impolite.
You're being very polite.
You're assuming
that he's going to join you.
You're making him aware of the bill
and that you care about it.
If you're a Republican, even better.
But it's okay if you're an independent
or a Democrat.
[00:03:54]
You could also reach out as long as you're
polite, because we do everything in a way
that is peaceful and nonviolent.
But we are persistent.
We are going to be as.
Look maniacally persistent.
No, we want you to serve us.
We want you to serve.
So do you want higher drug prices
or don't you?
[00:04:10]
Okay, that's what we're asking in mass.
But when we ask individually,
we're going to ask politely to try
to get the folks who are honest actors
to join in the beginning
and start to try to create some momentum.
So but the thing that I want to do
differently today is if, we could all like
[00:04:29]
if someone comes up with, an ex post
and an Instagram post about Tim Burchett
reaching out to him, do it now, do it now.
And Kara is in the chat.
She's our community director.
She will find it if you post it.
[00:04:47]
And she'll we'll put it on air, and then
we'll have everyone like it and share it.
Now, why are we asking you to do it?
Why don't we just do it?
We could have done it before the show.
Because I don't want you
to repost my stuff or Young Turk stuff.
I mean, that's great. God bless.
[00:05:02]
I'm not against it, right?
But this isn't about us.
I want to crowdsource this thing.
So one of you do it, and let's.
And all of us will try
to do the best of our ability.
Push together, and then you'll
get the likes and the shares, etc.
On your account.
[00:05:18]
I want all of you guys to do it
as much as possible.
You don't have to stop at Tim Burchett.
And if it turns out you did
another politician on another day,
tomorrow, later tonight, etc.
And and that got a little.
You did it in a clever way.
You did it in a smart way.
You did it in a way that worked. Right?
[00:05:35]
Then send it to us, and then we'll try
to all again push together
so that they notice, for example,
representative Mark Pocan and other.
He's a good guy, Democrat
likely to like this idea at least I think.
Right.
And we know for a fact that over 400
of you already reached out to him.
[00:05:53]
And obviously that got his attention.
And so that's great.
That's exactly what we want to do.
So I also want to do it on the Gaza issue.
But first I want you guys
before I get to the Gaza one.
No, actually, let me do the Gaza one, two
and then I'll tell you where you
can coordinate all of this stuff,
[00:06:09]
because I want you to work on it right now
so that we can see if we can get it up
on the air and push together.
And I know I'm asking a lot of you guys
and there's a lot of people out there.
So, I'm hoping one or 3
or 18 of you can do, some version of this.
[00:06:25]
So on the kids of Gaza, we had
the idea of putting up the pictures,
the bios, and so can we do.
And I mentioned, well,
we already know about Hind Rajab.
Right.
So that's the six year old
that was murdered by the IDF.
In her car.
All of her relatives in the car
were already killed by the IDF.
[00:06:43]
They were they told the IDF,
no, there's a six year old alive.
Please go get her.
She needs to be rescued.
And they or we're sending
an ambulance to go get her.
The IDF killed everybody
in the ambulance and her.
Right, because they're sick terrorists.
Terrorist.
Anyway, so, Jack Callahan,
who's in the working group for,
[00:07:01]
operation Hope, which just came out of,
and and this is operation Hope.
Just on a larger scale.
Jack, found a a bio and a picture, etc..
And as I'm saying this, Carl will start
to put up, those links, etc.
[00:07:18]
From, the past in the chat.
And so you could see the bio,
you could see the picture.
Somebody make a post out of it,
make an Instagram post, next post,
you know, tick tock, whatever.
Whatever you got,
make a post out of it again.
I don't want it to be us.
I want it to be you guys.
[00:07:34]
We'll take the first one
that we think is good enough.
And guys, don't get offended if we don't
push yours, that hopefully they'll be by
the, you know, the middle of this thing.
There'll be hundreds
or thousands of submissions.
If 999 of you catch feelings because we
picked one and not the other 999,
[00:07:52]
this will never work.
Just root for each other.
And and and support
each other as we do this.
Okay. So look, all of this is bold.
And so it might turn out by the end
of this, which is in about 20 minutes.
We might have no social media posts
or you know, we all push together
[00:08:12]
and get 17 likes.
So what?
So what?
We'll do it again and again and again.
So most people wouldn't do it.
They say, oh that's embarrassing.
Oh, no.
Then, you know, you your clout
will diminish or something.
I don't give a goddamn about my clout.
I just want to get something done.
And I want to get it done with you guys.
[00:08:29]
Because if we're not working together,
there's no chance we're going to win.
Okay, so, now I'm going to tell you
about how you can coordinate
on our website, too.
But before I do that,
speaking of 20 minutes from now, I mean,
this should unite the left and the right.
We have a guy who's running
against Nancy Pelosi.
[00:08:47]
And it looks like
he's got a fighter's chance.
And it's not like he hasn't pulled off
a political miracle like that before, so.
And, it is a very interesting story.
And it appears, I think, that Pelosi's
are a little bit nervous about it,
[00:09:02]
and it's starting to show up in the press.
Imagine if one of us
defeated Nancy Pelosi again.
I don't know what could unite progressives
who are super frustrated with Pelosi,
who's totally corporate
and has killed all of, Democratic policies
[00:09:20]
while pretending to fight for them.
She's buried them in her basement.
And certainly my guess is Republicans
and right wing would also be quite happy
if Nancy Pelosi wasn't in office anymore.
So we're going to talk to him,
like I said, in about 20 minutes.
Make sure you're checking
out that interview.
[00:09:36]
Okay.
So, guys, you can coordinate
in two different ways.
One is, sitcom ideas.
So that's where we set up a little bit
of a forum, a chat group, etc..
[00:09:51]
Now, why are we doing that?
Because if you just send it
in your ideas to us.
By the way, hold on.
Let me just pause there for a second.
So one of the things we're doing
is we're taking some of the clear ideas,
and especially if they've gotten likes,
we're looking at, you know,
to elevate the ones that are more
[00:10:10]
that more people gravitate to.
We're putting them at the top.
That's why in that screen you're
seeing some of those bullet points
you see with the blue.
There you go. Exactly in white.
Those are the ideas from the chat
down below that got filtered up.
So participate.
[00:10:26]
Hopefully your idea will be filtered up
and other people can then, chime in
and hopefully we can craft ideas
and make them better and better as we go.
Right?
And so,
and we've already received a ton of ideas.
[00:10:42]
Again, don't catch feelings
if we're not doing yours.
I love you. Keep participating.
Okay.
And so now, on the other hand, some
of you are talking about doing exactly
what I asked you, which is crowdsourcing,
in this case, a website for kids of Gaza,
where we put up the pictures
[00:11:00]
of the dead children.
So people, if you're going to fund Israel,
you're going to keep sending them
billions and billions of our money,
at least have the decency to look at the
kids that they've killed and go, I'm okay.
I'm good with it.
Oh, 20,000 dead children.
Oh, he was playing soccer.
[00:11:16]
And and that's when Israel dropped a bomb
and blew his head off.
Oh, yeah. I'm good with it.
Send more of my money here.
I'll go do an extra shift.
Right. But at least look at him.
So that's what we're trying
to get the country to do.
And especially our politicians
and our media.
So the politicians,
the the voters are good people.
[00:11:32]
The Republicans have already flipped
on Israel, and Democrats are at 92 to 8.
Isn't it amazing?
I mean, that's why we call this
a revolution.
So 92% of Democratic voters
say that Israel is wrong on Gaza,
and 92% of their politicians
say the exact opposite, and they won't.
[00:11:49]
They're like, oh,
nine out of ten Democratic voters
want us to care about the Palestinians.
Not only do we not care
about the Palestinians,
we don't care about our voters.
We don't care about
over 90% of our voters.
You can go to hell
because I'm getting money from AIPAC.
I'm getting money from the Israeli lobby.
[00:12:06]
So screw my voters is what almost
all the Democrats are saying.
Nine out of ten, not all of them,
Bernie and others are rokana, etc.
Are great, but 90% of Democrats are
totally corrupt and they work for Israel.
They don't work for us America.
[00:12:22]
And by the way, if you're a Republican,
don't get smug on me.
Almost 100% of your politicians know
95% now because of Marjorie Taylor Greene
and and Tom Massie,
and we always give credit where it's due.
I don't care if it's Tom Massie,
a Republican.
If he's doing the right thing, I'm going
to give him all the credit in the world.
[00:12:39]
Okay?
And I don't care if you're
and if you catch feelings.
Oh, well, I like Republican politician.
I like a Democratic politician.
I heard on MSNBC, I heard on Fox News,
they oh, they're so great.
I love the way they do the culture wars.
All right.
If you're going to catch feelings
when I call them corrupt
[00:12:54]
and prove that they're corrupt,
then this is not going to be for you.
Right.
This is for people who,
realize that the media and the politicians
have been lying to you the whole time.
Okay.
If you're still a knucklehead,
that's super naive.
And you're like, well, I don't know.
[00:13:10]
Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity
told me that the politicians
are super honest on my side.
And the real problem is the other side.
Oh, really?
Then why aren't the politicians
on the Republican side,
negotiating drug prices for you?
[00:13:26]
Why aren't they banning private equity
from buying up our homes?
They know that's what's
driving up our housing prices.
Why aren't any of them
for higher minimum wage?
And don't tell me Democrats
are for higher minimum wage.
Joe Biden took it out of the first bill.
It's totally, utterly corrupt.
Totally worked for the donor class.
[00:13:42]
Or as Nina Turner calls them,
the owner donors.
Okay, so I'm going to read
some of your comments in a second.
Oh, great.
So YouTube is having site wide issues.
So, yeah, it happens brother.
So on today it's not our
usually it's our issue, right?
[00:14:00]
Usually we have technical problems,
but in this case,
mighty YouTube is having YouTube problems.
That's okay.
We have comments of folks
who have already written in
and I want to share those with you guys.
Embedded dude writes in.
I already told Adam Schiff, personally,
that I'll never vote for him
as long as he takes AIPAC money.
[00:14:16]
Well, you should all say that
to every politician.
And of course,
Adam Schiff takes AIPAC money.
Adam Schiff bathes in AIPAC money.
Adam Schiff, like, wakes up in the morning
kissing apex left cheek.
He goes to bed at night
kissing the right cheek.
So I got no use for Adam Schiff.
[00:14:32]
We have another, pledge
if you'd like to sign in to comment more.
And what that is, is it's a pledge
to never vote for a politician
that takes money from the Israeli lobby.
And so, and again,
you could vote in your own primaries.
[00:14:48]
You don't have to vote for the other side.
Okay?
So that's another fact
that mainstream media keeps from you.
- Oh, primary.
- So they're so bad they divide the party.
The reality is, in a primary,
you might actually get
to pick someone who represents you.
That's why mainstream media
hates despises primaries.
[00:15:04]
That's where democracy
still lives a little bit.
Everybody shut up. Oh. It's bad.
Bad for unity. Bad, bad.
Oh, now you have two terrible choices. Ha!
- We got.
- You.
Now you got to make the lesser
of two evils choices.
- Both sides.
- Ha ha!
[00:15:20]
They should have voted in the primary,
but they didn't because we tricked them.
Yeah. We are.
We're on to you. We're on to you.
All right. Cicero wrote in.
Hey!
Regarding the suggestion
to create fliers with a QR code,
I went ahead and wrote this up.
Please feel free to use it.
America's political class are devoted
are very devoted to Israel.
[00:15:37]
We've given, And that he put in a blank.
But you could fill it in.
Have given $310 billion
to fund Israel's military.
We've also spent, 8 trillion on our own
military since 2001, which we have mainly
[00:15:54]
used to fight wars on behalf of Israel.
So look, that's his version.
You could write your own version. 8
trillion is the war, global war on terror.
We've spent more on our
military than that.
That's just all the money we wasted,
fighting the war on terror.
[00:16:13]
Okay.
So. And is it all on behalf of Israel?
No, it's not all on behalf of Israel.
Is some of it on behalf of Israel? Yeah.
Of course.
Oh, look, there's a dirty
Muslim terrorist I need.
I want his land.
I mean, I mean, I'm so worried about
that he's going to attack Israel.
[00:16:30]
I mean, I mean, America, America!
Go attack him! America!
Go attack him! Go attack him!
Go attack him! So does that happen?
Yes. It happens.
Does it happen every time? No, it's.
The world is complicated.
And there's a lot of different reasons.
In Iraq, the oil companies
and defense contractors make a killing.
[00:16:47]
Literally. Yes, yes.
Did they push for war? Yes.
Did you see that in mainstream media?
No. Because all the mainstream media
lied to you
and pretended nothing to do with money.
Nothing to do with the donors?
[00:17:03]
No. We're worried about
their weapons of mass destruction.
Wink. We're worried that they attacked us.
But all the reporters knew
they didn't attack us on nine over 11.
In fact, they all knew that Saddam Hussein
had hated al Qaeda and killed al Qaeda.
But they lied to you.
They all lied to you.
[00:17:18]
They always lied to you.
So I'm sick of them. I can't stand them.
All right, guys,
this is all collaborative.
So sometimes you'll see
a message you don't love.
Then you don't have to push that one.
And you want to change the word.
Change the words.
Every part of this is optional. Okay.
So now we're going to go to oh,
more from Cicero.
[00:17:35]
Americans can't afford rent or health
insurance and live paycheck to paycheck.
Our cities are overrun by the homeless.
Again, I wouldn't phrase it
that way, but I get it.
And our government is already now X
in debt and we're up to 37 trillion.
But Trump just added 4 trillion more,
but that's over a period of time anyway,
[00:17:53]
more than our GDP.
Yet we continue to bear Israel's burden
in the name of fighting terrorism,
even as they've indiscriminately bombed
a crowded urban population in Gaza,
put aid sites in active combat zones
during a famine,
and even shot children in the head.
All that is true.
They were numbered children,
living in Gaza at the beginning of
[00:18:10]
Israel's campaign, and we've heard many of
their stories entered the link below.
Or scan the QR code to learn their fate.
And then you have the QR
code for Kids of gaza.com.
That's a beginning. That's a beginning.
So again, let's craft all these,
let's mold these.
Let's get the QR codes. Let's begin.
[00:18:27]
If you're going to crowdsource,
the the website I think I forgot
to finish that thought.
So this is really important guys.
A bunch of you volunteered and have
already even started, crowdsourcing
the website for kids of Gaza.
Com but we got to work with you guys
because we have kids of Gaza.
[00:18:46]
Com so if you're one of the people
who are were crowdsourcing that
or setting that up in any way.
Make sure you're emailing Hope at Titcomb.
Hope at Titcomb so that we can coordinate
with you guys, and we can put the things
[00:19:01]
you're building on that actual URL.
Okay, so that's where you're going
to need the coordination.
All right. Let's go to Marisa.
No. Raven moon, first.
Second idea for the revolution.
Help army people get paid.
I saw the saddest thing today.
Army people in line
at food banks to get food.
[00:19:18]
Johnson has the power
to pass this law now and refuses.
Of course he does.
Mike Johnson, is 100% owned by the donors.
He's never going to help you. Never.
All he's ever going to do
is help his donors.
Same is true of Hakeem Jeffries,
the leader of the Democrats in the House.
[00:19:36]
So that's why Charlamagne
calls him a Pac Shakur.
Because Hakeem Jeffries works for AIPAC.
He's got nearly $2 million from him.
And we say, hey, he got $2 million.
So normally a normal human being,
especially a politician.
Version of a human being, will care a lot
about $2 million and will probably
[00:19:56]
serve the person who gave him $2 million.
The media goes, not only is that not true
because he's an angel and all these
politicians are angels, so they're
not affected by the millions of dollars.
But on top of that, you're a hateful bigot
for pointing out that fact.
It is a fact.
[00:20:13]
But you're not allowed to say,
shut up, shut up, you anti-Semite.
That's a trope, okay?
That's what our media says to hide
Israel's influence on our politicians,
but also to hide Big Pharma, Big oil, etc.
All their influence.
Our media,
instead of exposing it, hides it.
[00:20:30]
Don't look, don't look, don't look.
Why are we doing drill, baby?
Drill all the drilling.
Oh, okay. You like drilling?
You think we're not keeping the oil?
I don't want to get into a debate
on that issue, but, guys,
we're doing so we forget that debate.
This one we could all agree on.
[00:20:45]
Why are we giving them
$35 billion in subsidies.
That's ten times what Israel gets.
Why does ExxonMobil,
one of the most profitable companies
in the history of the world, need you
to work an extra shift so their son
of a bitch executives can get paid more?
[00:21:02]
Why?
Go ahead? Mainstream media.
Find me one anchor that can justify
the $35 billion in oil subsidies.
Okay, then why don't
you ever talk about it?
Because you want to cover up
for the corrupt donors.
They are not doing news.
They are doing propaganda to try
to blind you to the reality that almost
[00:21:22]
all of our politicians are deeply corrupt.
Let's go.
Let's do a peaceful revolution.
Let's do a democratic revolution.
All right, so in that case, look,
I love the idea of helping veterans
and having seen them in the streets
and not get cared for is breaks my heart.
[00:21:39]
Oh, go fight all these stupid wars
for all the stupid donors.
And then when you come here,
we'll betray you.
Oh, well, we ran out of money.
We gave it all to ExxonMobil.
We gave it to Pfizer and.
And Johnson and Johnson.
Sorry. We ran out.
Oh, hey, look, just when we got to the
American people, we ran out of money.
[00:21:57]
Okay?
So. All right, Maritza writes in
with a third idea.
Love what you guys are doing
with operation Hope.
And I want to be involved.
Guys are charismatic,
eloquent, animated, animated.
And I really believe you can compel
Americans to act and make change.
I'm tired of watching videos
and just getting angry.
[00:22:13]
I want to do something,
and I'm sure others do, too.
Thank you for leading this.
Then, thank you so much
for writing that in, but continues.
I have a suggestion while on video,
use a screen behind you
to post a website and email details.
Consider it a classroom
where notes are on the screen.
[00:22:28]
Remember that people have a short memory,
they're multitasking, etcetera, etcetera.
Make it easy for us to carry out things
that have previously seen Fox News.
This Fox News do this really well.
Lots of notes on screen and visuals
to create an emotional response
for their viewers.
Okay, before I get to our next suggestion,
look guys,
[00:22:44]
we put up the graphics for you guys.
Every once in a while,
I'll do more and more as we go along.
I used to show used
to do the first hour of the show alone.
And when I did that, I would have
a lot of graphs and explain how, you know,
the money corrupts and how what you can do
to make a difference.
[00:23:00]
And, guys, remember, you might not like if
you're on the right or you're independent,
maybe you don't like the squad.
That's AOC and the rest of them, right?
And these days I think they do
way too much culture war.
So I got my issues with them too. Okay.
But we already pulled off one miracle.
[00:23:15]
This is a show where Just Democrats
was launched on one of the co-founders.
I named it,
and we put 11 people in Congress
when we everybody thought there'd be zero.
So if you think we can't get something
done here, well, you know, that's just
[00:23:31]
factually and empirically incorrect.
And is it us? No, it's always you guys.
If you didn't give the money
and you didn't volunteer,
none of that would have happened.
So in that particular case and not
the money to us, but to those candidates.
So candidates are
for a different day, though.
Let's go.
Keep going with Maurice's suggestions.
[00:23:48]
Another suggestion you really,
really need a presence on Reddit.
Please post your videos and consider
having a separate subreddit there.
Get interns to help
with all the minutia and tech.
Reddit users will see the content
and will share it, comment on it,
and hopefully we'll spread the message,
maybe even outside the Reddit world.
Okay, so look on Reddit.
[00:24:04]
Funny story from like a I think
over a decade ago we got banned there.
We get banned everywhere
and we just keep popping back up.
We're back.
To be fair, I think back then
we were doing promotional stuff,
so we were probably right to ban us.
[00:24:20]
But that might have been
like 15 years ago.
It was a long time ago. Right?
Most honest show in America.
But, guys, we're probably back.
We could probably get back on there.
But again, I want you to do it.
I want to give you the credit.
I want to unleash your creativity,
your vision, etc.
[00:24:37]
So if you're on Reddit,
please do Reddit, do a subreddit,
do whatever they do on Reddit.
Okay? And okay.
Now a bigger idea for all of us together.
Okay.
So, guys, if you like a portion of this
or you like some other video you saw
or another host that you saw on another
show having nothing to do with tight.
[00:24:54]
But it's about something that unites us.
It's about something that exposes
the corruption, the money in politics,
or drug prices or kids of Gaza.
Make a clip out of it,
put it on social media, put it on Reddit,
and then tell us about it.
And again on the next show,
we'll try to push together, right.
[00:25:11]
And see if we can get
your stuff to take off.
Okay.
More Asus kind of bragging rights
in what we need to do is start taking all
the money that we're giving overseas and
all the money that we're wasting in the
Pentagon, and give it back to the people.
There should be universal income
for every citizen.
[00:25:28]
It's gotten too expensive.
We can't afford it anymore.
We need to take our money back.
Look, brother, I can't agree more
with taking our money back.
They waste all of our money.
I mean, look, again,
I don't want to get into divisions, but.
[00:25:44]
Doge. What happened?
I thought you were going to cut
the Pentagon for $100 billion.
Instead, you added $150 billion,
added $150 billion to the most bloated
department in the whole country.
You're getting rid
of the Department of Education.
I'm not going to debate that.
That's for when I do the show.
[00:26:00]
When I do the show.
I'll give you my political opinions, etc..
Ideological opinions.
But you're going to get rid of
the Department of Education to save money,
and then you're going to take
all that money times ten
and then give it to the Pentagon on top
of already the gigantic budget they have.
[00:26:15]
Nah, it's just pork barrel, man.
They're just robbing.
This is the great American robbery.
They're robbing us blind.
Over and over again.
Don't stand for it. All right.
So, guys, I'm about to run out of time.
Let me see if I can squeeze
in one last one.
Corey Schiffbauer writes in Jake.
My name is Corey.
[00:26:32]
My YouTube name is project for progress.
I came on one of the operation Hope
episodes a while back,
and I mentioned wanting to have a visible
tracker that correlates voting records
with campaign contributions.
You told me it was a dream of yours
to make a database like that.
I've looked into it
and started trying to make one.
It's possible through AI agents such as
Replit, but the problem is,
[00:26:50]
in addition to the monthly subscription,
keeps stacking up charges for how long the
agent works and how difficult the task is.
Based on what I could find, it would
probably cost a couple thousand dollars
to be able to initiate the full database.
I did give me it did give me
a sample with a little bit.
I paid and it looked awesome.
Wondering if you could read this
and see if anybody else knows
[00:27:06]
a better or cheaper way to do this.
Maybe we could reach out to local areas
where congressmen are from
and put on a billboard.
How much money a congressman has taken
from a certain lobby, for example.
Not sure how feasible any of this is,
but I wanted to try to help.
I'm willing to put money into this.
I just don't think I can do it alone.
[00:27:22]
You're the voice of the country.
Thank you for starting this.
We will win.
So, I don't know about me being the voice,
but I love you.
I appreciate that you're looking into it
and you're working,
and I agree, we will win.
So, look, guys,
do I know how to create a website
that tracks all the politicians, the money
that they take from their donors.
[00:27:41]
And what I would love as a second part
of that website is, then how do they vote?
And what you're going to see is
it's going to match nearly 100%.
They take money from a lobby,
they vote with that lobby.
[00:27:56]
If we could do that whole database,
people are going to look at it
and be like, Holy cow,
they vote with their donors
98% of the time,
and the gigantic liars on television tell
me that the money doesn't influence them.
Come on.
[00:28:12]
So one of these days,
I'm going to show up here.
We're super early days, right?
We just got started.
Like I said, day 5 or 6,
whatever we're on.
The video of the title will tell you,
and then you all laugh
because I got the wrong date anyway.
But one day I'm going to come on air and
I'm going to say, you know how I asked you
[00:28:29]
guys to do this website or that website,
or the Instagram or the this or that?
And here it is.
It turns out Sally in Missouri
has been working this whole time
and created this thing.
- Oh my God, it's amazing right?
- We hope.
[00:28:45]
And that's what we're going to do.
We're going to keep hope alive.
Okay. This is operation Hope.
And we're going to try
to bring our democracy back.
All right. Next is an interview.
Stay right here. Two things actually.
One is operation Hope, the original
working group there is on right now.
You can go to Titcombe
and get the link there.
[00:29:03]
Join them because they're going to try.
If you're trying to work on these
projects, they're going to try to help you
and begin to organize
to take specific actions.
So go join that group if you can.
Every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
[00:29:19]
Eastern, they meet and I join them
once a month, and then,
but for everyone else, stay here.
We have another public, episode.
This time it's an interview
with the person who has a real shot
at beating Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco.
[00:29:35]
So let's do that when we return.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
