Dr. Jim: [:

So what am I talking about? So recently J. D. Vance. Tweeted out that he believes that judges should have no role in regulating what the executive or the legislative branches can do. And in fact, J. D. Vance has echoed the same sentiment, arguing that the executive branch should be able to do whatever they want because they won an election.

They are playing a completely different game. They're expecting us to play by the rules while they break. Every rule possible, and this was a fundamental error of the Biden administration and not enforcing in the most vigorous of ways, the harshest punishments possible coming out of J six. And that's what's led us.

To what we're facing today,

the Republican party and the Trump administration are clearly and obviously violating the constitution in every which way possible. And just calling it out is no longer going to be enough. They're going to continue to do this regardless of what judges say, regardless of what decisions that the DOJ loses.

They are going to keep going

days of inauguration, [:

Kiss all of that goodbye,

because it is going to be a society that is tailored and engineered to favor. White Christian males. Those are the stakes that are in front of us. As of right now, those are the stakes that we're looking at going forward. So it's time for us to understand the game that is being played and adopt the rules and play the game according to the terms of our enemies.

They told you what they were going to do, and that was Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation. Their vision, and I've talked about this before, is a technocratic, theocratic dictatorship, and that is what they're going for. So the quicker we understand the rules of the game, The better equipped we'll be to play the game properly.

So what does this mean for us? What it means is that when we are looking five, six months down the road, we need to get really comfortable with asking ourselves the question, what's the sort of America that we want to live in? What's the sort of America that we want our kids to live in?

Because the people in power.

And if you think I'm joking, think about all of the supports that protect the average worker that are being stripped away by the fake. Agency that Elon Musk is running. That agency has no constitutional authority, no congressional authority to do anything. And yet what are they doing? They're trying to do anything and everything to dismantle anything that protects workers rights.

And on top of that, that agency is covering up and deleting any evidence that is associated with pending litigation against Elon Musk. Let's keep in mind USAID being taken down, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau being taken down, the FAA being taken down. All three of these agencies had open investigations on Elon Musk's business and they are getting taken down as a way for him to enrich himself.

We have Donald Trump's 30 year track record with the Kremlin and Russia. We have Elon Musk's ties to China and Russia.

We have Pam Bondi's ties to middle Eastern countries, and we have a collection of billionaires who have not disclosed their financial interests.

And we have an executive order. That was rescinded that prevented members of the executive branch from enriching themselves through lobbyists and lobbying efforts. And we haven't even talked about the crypto conflicts of interest that exists within this administration, this is a giant scam that is being run, and this is a speed run to a dictatorship that is being run.

We need to realize that is what's going on.

That's supposed to come out and save us at the last minute. That's not going to happen. It happens in the movies. This isn't a movie. This timeline doesn't play out like a movie script.

Where this goes is going to be tied directly to what we do. So we need to get moving on every available action that we can take, whether that is economic protests, outright protests, Using all of our talents to mobilize everybody else and mobilize all of the various factions within the U S for a single purpose.

And while some of you might cringe at hearing that this playbook, I've said it over and over again, we've seen this before. And we cannot afford to take it lightly.

They've told you repeatedly what they plan on doing. They've told you that their plan is to fundamentally transform this into a white Christian nationalist nation.

We're long overdue to start taking them seriously, believe what they say and act accordingly. And if we fail to do that generations from now, people will be reading the history books and wondering. Why did the people of America not act when it was so obvious what was happening
