Full Episode
This is what I like to see. You've got Democrats, you've got Senator Bernie Sanders and others going on the offense and saying to the people, it's time to go to the streets. It's time to protest. It's time to stand up against authoritarianism. Go on the offense. Then you've got these MAGA Republicans and their propaganda machines on the defense. This is what I like to see.
I want to highlight what's going on with some of these stronger pro-democracy voices. And I want to show you what it looks like to see MAGA Republicans on their heels. So here we have Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont. saying this struggle against authoritarianism is going to require we the people to take to the streets. Play this clip.
At the end of the day, the struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk, the struggle against authoritarianism, The fight to make sure that the working class of this country gets a fair shake, that is not going to be won here in Capitol Hill. It's going to be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, you know what?
We fought and died for democracy. We're not going to move toward authoritarianism. We fought to create a country that works for all, not just the billionaire class. That's the struggle, and I'm gonna be active in trying to rally the American people to do just that.
Exactly, Bernie, exactly. Then Bernie Sanders talks about how we're not just dealing with this move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America. Yes, politicians have always lied, but the way we are seeing the big lie every day
it's like nazi germany play this clip into this and what we do know is that there's a lot of people that still remain in the database but as far as people who are actually getting payments it was 44 000 who got payments according to an audit that was done in 2020 how many millions there's Tens of millions. So when they say tens of millions, that would be a third of the world's social security.
This is what we are dealing with.
We're not only dealing with oligarchy, the incredible power of the very, very rich. We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism. We're dealing with what is new to America, You know, politicians have always lied, nothing new about that.
But the level that we're seeing right now, the big lie, over and over again, and it goes out, there's a big lie, and then it goes out on Musk's Twitter to, what, several hundred million people, repeated over and over again. Now the word is out there, oh, people on Social Security, 150 years of age, can you believe it? The whole thing is corrupt, it's broken. Well, where does that lead you, Caitlin?
