What I want to do is not to be a student, the master of the club's laptop is ...
I'm saying, you can say that you're a hero.
You're a hero, right? But you don't understand. Exactly. It's just a challenge. You're just a hero. You're just a hero. And if you work, you're a hero. - That's right. - Save. You're a hero. - You're a hero. - Now you're a hero.
With Amazon, there are more than 50% of the population with less population, for example, in Papi-tüten, or even more or less population. When you're still there, you're playing. You're the one who's playing for your 9-copyro, with the support of the population, and you're the one who's working on Amazon and the start of the year 2025 in Rosbottanian and EU.
A double-chish bar, a promise and a call for 990, and you're allowed to do that for matters, because that's great.
“The most important thing is that you're already a 490 by McDonald's.”
And the most important thing is that you're a 590 by McDonald's.
- Maga Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the House and all Maga Republicans, are panicking after a shock poll, which may be the most disastrous poll yet, leading into the midterms for Maga Republicans. What this latest CNN poll has found. It's basically that everybody hates both parties.
It's pretty much, at a quarter of Americans say they hate both parties. But amongst that cohort of what's called the double haters, and people who hate politics in general, they prefer Democrats by 31 points. So people who don't like politics, people who, you know, otherwise are just like, just get me away from all of this.
I just am done with this crap. They want to vote for Democrats, though, by 31 in order to do essentially regime change here in the United States, G. Eliot Morris writes, "This might be the largest party lead I've ever seen among these so-called double haters, cohort, a new CNN poll finds about one quarter of the public holds a negative view of
both parties, so-called double haters. Voters in that group, however, prefer the Democrats in the upcoming midterms by 31 points." You know, some Maga Republicans are trying to do, adding into the midterms, is their usual scare tactics. You know, they've got people like Maga Republican, Scott Perry, who just went on TV, and he's like, you know, the immigrants,
they're going to slit your throats, they slit your throats, and they kill you, and the Democrats support the throats, sling, killing people, and it's like,
“"Just stop it," we've stopped with the fear mongering, okay?”
You know, Donald Trump's latest $1.5 trillion military budget proposes $152 million to rebuild the Alcatraz. Donald Trump's on video and audio saying that we don't have enough money
to help people in America for Medicare Medicaid, social security, and for other critical functions
that we must spend all of our money on war, and a $1.5 trillion war budget right now. Anyway, here's what Scott Perry has to say, play this clip. And with, you know, people that have been arrested multiple times and stay in the country, they slit the throats of young women on trains, they stab, or mid-term, not mid-term, but middle-aged women in Virginia at a train station, they shoot people, you know,
lady in college, in the back of the head, that's who Democrats are willing to stand with. That's going to be the choice that Americans have to make when they go to the... Then Maga Republican Congress member Barry Moore took his turn this morning on a state regime media, which calls itself Newsmax, and Barry Moore was like, "You know what? Guess what everybody hears what we're going to run on."
Now that Pam Bondi is no longer a attorney general, we in the House Oversight Committee, Maga Republicans, we're going to try to avoid Bondi being subpoenaed so that she doesn't still have to talk about the Epstein files, and we could just cover that up the way Todd Blanch says that, "You know what? We're done talking about the Epstein files from here on out, you're playing this clip." Congressman, now next question for many people is Will Pam Bondi
be forced to sit for a subpoena with House Oversight Committee over the Epstein files
“on April 14th, I believe. What are you hearing from some of your colleagues on that?”
Do you think that will stand and they will still drag her before that deposition? You know, probably not. I mean, Jamie Comer is going to make that call. Obviously, he's chairman of the committee, but I don't know that that's beneficial now that she's not the attorney general. And again, that's Jamie's call and we'll see what they decide to go with. And then there may be some information that we need as we're investigating Epstein and like said, I think the
weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, those agencies, what they've done to the justice department, and I mentioned this to Merrick Garland here, and they have undermined the trust of the American people in the FBI, the CIA, all those agencies. So we'll see if Jamie wants to bring it out about Epstein
Or the DOJ, maybe we can get some information, but I think that'll be up to t...
what he wants to do. Yeah. Then you had mega Republican Congress member Chip Roy. He went on
state regime media, which calls itself Fox this morning. And Chip Roy says, you know what I'm looking for in a new attorney general, somebody who goes after the people who harassed the January six theirs. We need somebody pro insurrectionist, pro overthrowing governments when the election doesn't
“go your way. That's what I'm looking for in a new attorney general. I mean, it just goes in”
out, right, says it. You're playing this clip right here. We've got to deal with things like antifa, the president rightly declared them a terrorist organization. We want to see people who are affiliated with these Marxist networks funding antifa, creating all sorts of danger for the American people. We want them held accountable. We want the people who were harassing J6ers held accountable. We want us to know the truth on Arctic Frost. My records were targeted under Arctic Frost
on Jack Smith. We want to see Hedgeroll. We want to see John Brennan who did the Judiciary Committee referred to the Department of Justice held accountable and Jim Comey. These are all things that we think need to happen. The next attorney general needs to be very aggressive. And I hope the president will pick somebody who will do that. Not been working on top blanched. And I look forward to working with him in the interim.
It's just interesting to seeing the right wing so-called podcast bros, you know, all the people who wrap their arms around Donald Trump as they now look at the disastrous wars in the Middle East as they look at Donald Trump wreaking havoc here on the United States and destroying lives. And ice and border patrol Gestapo terrorizing and torturing people here. Just take a look at two of the bigger podcast bros. By the way, the mightest touch network gets significantly
more downloads and views now than bulk Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughan. But here's Rogan and Theo Vaughan talking about how I'm so confused man about everything that's going on man. I'm so confused man so so confusing here play this clip. Where do you think is going to happen? You think we're going to be okay? I hope so. Of course. I don't know. Do you think about it? I'm confused. I can't believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like this can't be true. And what about
Lebanon now? I know Israel's invaded Lebanon. Yeah. And it's like, just fucking stop it. What do you need? Well, they're trying to supposedly they're trying to stop the terrorists. Yeah, that's crazy
“though if you're the fucking terrorist. You don't have saying like if you want to stop them”
fucking stand in front of the fucking mirror, you start there. You know, I want to bring on somebody by the name of Tim Grimal. He's running for Congress right now in the in Michigan
a critical seat as well. Let's bring him in as well to kind of talk about all of this. Let's
bring in my interview with Tim Grimal. Now I want to bring in Tim Grimal former mayor of Pontiac Michigan, former Democratic State House leader in Michigan. Now running for the 10th congressional district, there's an open seat there, Magra Republican John James running for governor. The area for the 10th congressional district is Oakland nearby areas, parts of Oakland and other nearby areas, which we'll which we'll talk about. When I let into this segment, I showed a bunch of video
clips of these Magra Republican Congress members who are doing their usual tricks, Tim. I mean, they are doing the fear mongering, you know, the immigrants are going to kill you and that's why we need, you know, Magra Republicans to protect you. This is a very big race. It's a race that very well and could and should flip blue right here and lots of people are focusing it almost as like a bell weather for what's going to happen in the rest of the country. You're running for
“this seat, talk to us about how important this is. Then we'll get into your background as well.”
But talking about how important is this race? Yeah, this really is ground zero for our efforts to get back to a Democratic majority in the U.S. House. And obviously, I don't need to tell you ban or your viewers how important it is for us to get back to a Democratic majority in the U.S.
House. That is the most immediate, most important way that we can restore checks and balances
on this presidency and the district here in Michigan is probably the best opportunity in Michigan to flip a Republican seat and certainly one of the top five or ten opportunities in the entire country. So it's a real must-win district if we're going to get back to a majority in the U.S. House and restore checks and balances on the insanity that we're seeing from the Trump administration. You know, it's so fascinating about the 10th and you can tell us a little bit about the counties
in the cities. I've been to the area before, you know, and I know the area to be
Very reasonable, moderate, like, let's make deals and figure out what's in th...
And actually, not in any way, any type of, like, MAGA extreme is like, that's just not the
“makeup of the area. And so I just find it fascinating as I do interviews, you know, with you,”
running for the 10th, but I've done interviews with other people, you know, running in nearby congressional districts as well. Others that occupy areas of Oakland and other things, it's that like, you know, you have these kind of Trump sick offense who have done things that are really harmful to the district that are really extreme in these areas. And it just
never felt like a fit and I understand that one somebody gets into Congress, you know, that they
often are able to kind of have this incumbancy advantage. It's an open seat right now. I just mentioned, based on John James running for governor, but it's always a weird thing to have like an ultra MAGA in a district that's just surprising to me. Well, it is, you know, the, the, the, the average person in the 10th district is, is a normal person. There, there are people who are
“concerned about their family, about their communities. They're not an extremist. They're not really”
a MAGA true believer. And so my friends, my neighbors here in the 10th district, they really just want whatever American wants, a better life for them and their families. They want to see their
community function and thrive. And so the, the fact that they've been represented by somebody who's
been just a, gone along with literally everything that President Trump has done no matter how detrimental it's been to local communities here in the 10th district is, is really disappointing to a lot of people here in the 10th because they just want some common sense for a presentation. People who are fighting for them for normal, hardworking Americans and they haven't unfortunately gotten that over the course of the past four years. So Tim, you've held lots of different positions,
whether you're a mayor, doing kind of the day-to-day, you know, governance hands-on of a city-like
“Pontiac. Similarly, you've led, you know, the Michigan State Dems in the house and you, you know,”
rose up the ranks there. You've seen it all to talk to us a little bit about your background, though, particularly, and the issues that you would be fighting for if you were elected. Yeah, you know, I was born here in the 10th district. We're up here, graduated from high school here, and when I graduated from University of Michigan Law School, it came back home to the 10th
district and ultimately, ran for and was elected to the local school board here,
became a union-side labor lawyer, and then ultimately became the State House Democratic leader in the Michigan legislature, where I successfully fought to expand health care here in the state by expanding Medicaid coverage to provide health insurance to 700,000 uninsured Michiganers. I successfully fought to increase Michigan's minimum wage and for the first time in state history index it to inflation, and really have dedicated my whole adult life to standing up for hard-working
Americans, fighting for a stronger middle-class, and you know, we've seen increasingly in recent decades that the rich in this country have gotten richer and richer while everybody else has been falling further and further behind, and I've dedicated my adult life to trying to be part of the solution and try to actually make sure that we're bringing the American dream within reach of everyday people again. You know, Donald Trump said in the past 24 hours or so,
we don't have enough money to deal with Medicaid, Medicare, or really any social programs, or social security. It's not what we should be doing as a federal government. I wish I was being hyperbolic here, Tim, but he's worked for words, said that, and then he went on to say, "What we really only have money for, kid, everybody not they all saw these clips is war." And Donald Trump is putting forward now a budget $1.5 trillion, mostly focused on military spending,
more endless wars, and the American people are like, "You've ripped away our health care. You are now causing inflation to surge again. We're struggling to get jobs. You're trade war against the world, has crushed us, and you've seen that firsthand, and in Michigan, especially with some of the things Trump's done in attacking Canada, and especially them and our other allies, and people are like, "What did you just say?" And sometimes I just think, "What the hell did he just
even say?" And how was this even talked about, talked about through any normal political prison? I remember growing up, and I'm sure you do too, where Dan Quels spelled potato wrong,
It was like, "Dude, you're done.
saying, "We don't care about you. We're just going to war." And that's where the money's going,
“and look, he's deeply unpopular, like 33% approval. But still, it's like, "What the hell is”
even going on, Tim?" Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, and it's sad, Ben, but you're not being hyperbolic. I mean, I saw the same clip you saw that so many Americans have seen, and we have a president of a White House who is profoundly out of touch with the needs and concerns of regular Americans. And you hit on a couple of things. You mentioned the tariffs, of course, and those have been incredibly punishing to regular people, to hardworking Americans. You know, the cost of living
was already high when Trump entered office, and his tariffs have just made that situation
all the more worse. We see incredibly high energy costs, we see skyrocketing, health insurance,
premiums, because of Trump's health care policies. We see housing costs continue to go up and up and up. And grocery store prices are still incredibly high. I mean, we often make chilly in my
“household, and I was out watching the gas prices, of course, hit $4 a gallon here locally,”
while I was driving to the grocery store. And then at the grocery store, I was buying meat for our chilly, and hamburger costs $7 a pound now. And so, if you're an everyday person who meanwhile is seeing their wages stagnate, and the cost of everything is going up and up and up, the tariffs are hitting folks incredibly hard. It's a tax on consumers and it's driving inflation even higher. And then meanwhile, it's disrupting supply chains, especially here in this district,
where we have a lot of auto plants that rely on pirates coming across the border from Canada. And the tariffs on Canada, all places, are disrupting those supply chains, idling plants, resulting in layoffs, resulting in people losing income, while they're also simultaneously driving the cost of goods that people rely on, day in and day out, ever higher. And we need to get back
“to a rational tariff policy. You know, it's one thing to impose tariffs on bad actors in the world.”
But imposing them on places like Canada and Western Europe, places with good labor standards, good environmental standards, makes no sense at all, and it's just punishing regular Americans. The other thing you hit on, of course, and the Trump was speaking about recently, is the fact that because of military expenditures, he doesn't think the federal government can afford to do anything to help regular people with health care, with child care,
and it's outrageous. I mean, obviously, Iran and Iran's government in particular has been a horribly malevolent force to its own people, to people in the entire Middle East region,
and they can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. But people in the 10th district and
all across this country have no interest in yet another endless war. And Trump has no strategy, obviously, he has said in his own words that because of the focus on military expenditures, the federal government can't afford to help every day people with their basic needs. I was talking with a woman the other day, who's not sure she can continue working, because she can't afford child care. Meanwhile, we have people losing their health insurance
because of Trump's health care policies. This is completely unacceptable. The people in the 10th district and Americans in general want a federal government. The prioritizes their families, their day-to-day needs, making sure that we can actually bring the American drain back within reach of regular folks. And unfortunately, this administration is so out of touch that they are prioritizing other things over the needs of American people and everyday folks. And that's
unacceptable. And the whole reason I got into politics is to fight for middle-class families, fight for working families. I have delivered results in the past and my state legislative role. I've delivered results as an eonsight labor lawyer who has gone toe to toe against billionaires and successfully fought and won for working people. And we have a president who's out of control and we need to get back to a majority in the U.S. House. But we need to hit like fighters
who not only have a proven track record of fighting for everyday people, but of winning those battles and delivering results so that we can get back to building a strong middle-class in this country.
