Rhetoric Against Trump Racheted Up

Alright, everyone, we have less than a week until the election. A quick programming note, Monday’s episode will go out as normal. However, I am pushing back Wednesday’s episode until Thursday due to the election and hopefully, we know who will be the 47^th president by then.

In the meantime, in the last week, we have witnessed a dramatic shift in the rhetoric in the media, amongst government bureaucrats, the Democrats, the Harris campaign, and the Vice President herself. They aren’t even pretending to explain her policies anymore.

The ‘joy’ is dead. Hope has morphed into fear, and ‘aspirations, dreams, and ambitions,’ have given way to dark warnings about the second coming of Hitler, fascism, and the death of ‘democracy.’

The playbook is clear. They are in panic mode and attempting to throw everything they can at the wall in hopes something sticks. In the last week, there has been a noticeable change in their tone, and they aren’t talking about themselves or what a Kamala Harris administration looks like. Instead, they are focused solely on Orange Man Bad.

It’s Trump 24/7. It’s a desperation tactic because they have nothing else left. The more people see of Harris, the more they dislike her. The more she validates how inauthentic she really is. Just listen to this gem from Sunday when Kamala visited a church.

Sound Clip 1- Kamala Harris Preacher Accent

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Democrats haven’t realized that changing your accent depending on the voters you’re speaking to doesn’t win you any support. Instead, it makes you look like a fool and reinforces how inauthentic and empty you are.

If you’re not Hispanic, don’t try to use a Hispanic accent. If you’re not Southern, don’t try to speak like a Southerner. If you’re not a preacher, don’t speak like one.

This is the exact reason people gravitate toward Trump. Take from it what you will, but Trump never changes regardless of who he is talking to. You see the good, the bad, and the ugly, warts and all.

He doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not. But that’s not the point of this episode. The point of this episode is to explain how the Democrats are running on a campaign of fear, and even more importantly, is there something more sinister going on.

Take a listen to what Tim Walz says the Harris-Walz’s campaign closing message is.

Sound Clip 2- Tim Walz Hate and Division

He says that the Harris campaign’s closing argument is unity, hope, and the future, a new way forward, and that Trump’s closing message is one based on hate and division.

Yet, here he is warning his supporters that they are on a list and that Trump and his supporters will take them out. Don’t take my word for it, listen to Governor Walz and judge for yourself.

Sound Clip 3- Walz You’re on Trump’s List

And it doesn’t end there. Since then, the rhetoric has only been ratcheted up and worsened. Democrats and the press are now warning that not only is Trump a threat to ‘democracy,’ but he is literally responsible for killing women. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 4- MSNBC/Mika

As the desperation gets more palpable, they grow more unhinged in their rhetoric. Not for nothing, but in just about every major poll, one of the candidates is up by a point or two, or the other candidate is up. And while the momentum seems to be with Trump, you have to wonder what their internals are showing that’s got them so afraid, and going after Trump is not enough. They are also going after his supporters. Listen to this clip from MSNBC’s Joy Reid.

Sound Clip 5- Joy Reid

So, according to Reid and her guests, Trump supporters are fascist enablers. They are racists, misogynists, and bigots. Understand, that this is a coordinated attempt to dehumanize Trump, Republicans, and his supporters. It is intentional. Now, they have been attacking and labeling people for years so some of you may be wondering what’s the point.

It’s clear they’re pivoting away from a policy-focused campaign, hoping fear alone will win them support – but why now, and to what end?

And that is what I want to focus on in this episode because it leaves a pressing question: if they’re this desperate now, what might they do if Trump actually wins? We’ll dive into that right after this break.

Joy is Dead, Fear Reigns Supreme

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report. We’re digging into the unfiltered, increasingly aggressive rhetoric that Democrats are using, not just against Trump but against anyone who even considers supporting him.

Over the weekend, the Democrats trotted out former First Lady Michelle Obama. She explains how men are gravitating toward Trump because they are angry, bitter, and disappointed. It’s similar to bitter clinger comments her husband made when he was running for President.

But it actually gets worse, and I want to preface it by saying that these are the same people who accuse Trump and Republicans of dividing people. Just listen to what Michelle Obama is suggesting here about American men’s values and how they view their mothers, their wives, and their daughters – it’s a message as dark as it is divisive. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 6 Michelle Obama

Did you hear that? Think about what she is really saying. She is saying that men don’t respect their wives. They don’t respect their daughters. That they look at women as nothing more than vessels. Think about how dark that is.

Forget about dividing society, she wants to divide households and make spouses and families view each other with suspicion. Think about how sick and twisted that is, and mark my words, if Kamala Harris loses, they will seek to blame everyone. White people. Men. Married women. Black men. Hispanics. It seems that hell hath no fury like the Democrats scorn.

But this is how they view people. If you don’t agree with them and subscribe to their groupthink mentality, they view you as a threat, someone to be ostracized, labeled, and even silenced. Someone who doesn’t deserve a voice. Someone who doesn’t deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. Someone that doesn’t have a place in their version of society. To them, you are obsolete.

On this program, I routinely criticize politicians. I routinely criticize the Democrats and the media industrial complex. I criticize the bureaucrats, but what I don’t do is denigrate those who support Kamala Harris. I may think they are misguided, but I respect that Americans have passionate differences. It’s a natural part of our political process and I want two vibrant parties. I may disagree with them, but you will never hear me use words like purge, deprogram, reeducate, Nazi, or evil when I am talking about ordinary Americans.

But that’s what they do. I want you to take a listen to what Hillary Clinton said about former President’s Trump Madison Square Garden Rally. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 7 Hillary Clinton on MSG Rally

Does Hillary really believe that over 19,000 Americans that attended the event would really support a Nazi? Does she really believe that those attending the event want to destroy what they deem ‘democracy?’ Does she really believe that nearly half the country are racist, bigots that hate anyone that’s not like them?

The truth is we, as Americans, are remarkable people. That when Americans fall on tough times whether it’s a community impacted by a natural disaster or a neighbor that suffers a house fire, we are there for one another regardless of political views, race, religion, or anything else.

But the Democrat Party doesn’t see it that way. They view anyone who stands in their path to power as a threat. Anyone who dissents as a potential domestic terrorist. Anyone who goes against the narrative and doesn’t subscribe to the groupthink mentality must be viewed as subhuman.

Many had these feelings prior to Trump, but the sentiments were reinforced in 2016 when Trump won the presidential election. It was then that the powers that be determined by the American people cannot be trusted.

Interestingly, these were the same people that kissed Trump’s ass prior to him jumping in the political arena. They liked his money, but what they don’t like is that he is not beholden to them, and he challenges the status quo and the political norms. More importantly, what they truly despise is how he uses the same tactics on them that they use on their political opponents. They aren’t used to that.

And they have grown so desperate and have nothing to run on that they revert to the Trump is a fascist card. He is the second coming of Hitler. Take a listen to Vice President Harris.

Sound Clip 8 VP Harris Trump is a Fascist

Think about the last week and a half, and it is easy to see how the rhetoric has changed. How the panic seems to be setting in. This is coordinated and organized. What frightens me though is I fear that something much more devious is afoot and the question becomes as the stakes grow higher, one can’t help but wonder, what lengths will they go to if he wins?

I’ll answer that when we get back from this quick break so hang tight, and we will be right back.

What Happens if Trump Wins?

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report podcast. As we dive deeper, let’s consider this growing desperation from the Democrats. With every passing day, it becomes clearer that the narrative has shifted from joy to all-out fearmongering. It’s not only aimed at Trump but also directed at anyone standing in the way of their agenda.

It’s not just rhetoric anymore. We’re witnessing a coordinated campaign to delegitimize both the candidate and his supporters. Last week, The Atlantic put out this hit piece on Trump where four anonymous sources stated that Trump constantly talks about his admiration for Hitler. It doesn’t matter that many of those who attended the reported meetings all come out on record saying it’s a lie.

But this is where they are beginning to lay the groundwork for something much bigger. First, you have retired General Mark Milley come out and state that Trump is a fascist who threatens our Republic. He stated that Trump is “fascist to the core” and a clear and present danger to the country.

He is warning that if Trump wins the election, he will target all political opposition and throw them in prison. He also stated that Trump is “the most dangerous person ever, and the most dangerous person to this country.” Think about that. Not al-Qaeda, not ISIS, not Vladimer Putin, Xi Jinping or the mullahs of Iran. Not the pro-Hamas gang or groups like Antifa. Trump is the most dangerous threat to the republic. This is coming from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And Milley isn’t alone. Many others in the military and intel world are saying similar things. You have retired General John Kelly saying something similar. Kelly now says that when he was Trump’s Chief of Staff, President Trump would constantly heap praise on Hitler and called dead soldiers’ suckers and losers.

Here’s the thing. If I were serving Trump and he said these things, I would immediately resign and put out a public statement detailing exactly the things that were said. It would have destroyed the Trump administration and neutered the Trump presidency. But Kelly wants to wait nearly five years before making this public. Does that really jive with you, and why didn’t any of the top military brass immediately quit if Trump really made these statements?

Again, this isn’t just about Milley and Kelly, this is about an entire bureaucracy that despises the former President and that worked to undermine his administration and destroy him when he left office.

And I really want to ask the audience, does anyone really believe the bureaucracy would allow someone like Trump to take over the United States and become a dictator? Let’s be honest here, it seems people tend to think a President has much more power than they really have.

But we have to ask a few serious questions. If Democrats and their allies in the media and bureaucracy genuinely believe that Trump poses an existential threat – that he’s as dangerous as they claim, even labeling him evil and the next Hitler – then doesn’t it logically follow that they’d be willing to do whatever it takes to keep him from winning and taking the oath of office? If they truly see Trump as a figure who could end democracy or bring about authoritarian rule, wouldn’t they feel morally justified in taking extraordinary measures, no matter how extreme, to block his path to the presidency? In a way, wouldn’t they have an obligation to prevent that from happening?

Again, think about this logically for a second. If you’re convinced that someone is fundamentally evil, a threat to everything you hold dear, how could you, in good conscience, stand by and allow them to assume the highest office in the land? You can’t say “Well, the American people voted and we have to let evil reign supreme.” That doesn’t make any sense.

And this line of thinking leads down a troubling path, where any means necessary could become acceptable, justified by the belief that the stakes are simply too high. The question is no longer about democracy or electoral fairness.

It becomes a question of moral imperatives, where even subverting the will of the voters could be rationalized as a necessary act of defense. If this is their approach now, what happens if Trump wins? What tactics are they willing to employ to prevent a Trump presidency, and how far are they willing to go?

And so, are they setting the stage where, even if Trump wins the election next week, they will prevent him from taking office, claiming it’s their duty to protect the nation? All the accusations that Trump is Hitler and a fascist are an attempt to prepare the public, essentially laying the groundwork to justify actions that would overturn the election, all under the guise of saving what they deem ‘democracy.’

We will explore that question when we get back from this quick break so hang tight and we will be right back.

How Far Will They Go to Stop Him?

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. As we enter this final segment, it’s time to confront the question that looms over this episode and the entire election: What happens if Trump actually wins?

We’ve seen the rhetoric reach a fever pitch, with accusations, warnings, and even talk of Trump as an existential threat to the Republic. But if the Democrats and bureaucrats truly believe that narrative, what lengths might they go to in order to prevent him from assuming office? Could we see unprecedented steps taken, all under the claim of “preserving democracy”? The stakes have never been higher, and it’s essential to understand just how far they might go – and what it could mean for America’s future.

Listen to this clip from MSNBC. They are already accusing Republicans of cheating and stealing the election. Take a listen.

Sound Clip MSNBC

That’s what I mean by the groundwork being laid. They are already declaring that if Trump wins, the election is stolen.

Everything we have witnessed and are witnessing is an attempt to socially engineer our society to accept intervention if the election doesn’t go their way all in the name of saving ‘democracy.’ The self-anointed guardians of democracy will destroy it in order to preserve it. That’s the logic elitists use.

Even more troubling is what Congressman Jamie Raskin has said. He said let people vote for Trump if they want, but they’re not going to certify the election because they believe he is disqualified under the 14^th Amendment. Essentially, he may be elected but we are not going to let him be inaugurated.

They believe they have the right, even the duty, to “protect” the public from what they deem a threat, even if that means overriding the democratic process and the Electoral College. This rhetoric has real implications, especially if it’s pushed by influential figures like Congressman Raskin, who suggests that they could block Trump from taking office if he’s elected. And think about the logic they are using. The same people who say Trump is disqualified from holding office because he questioned the results of an election, are now threatening to undo an election all because they believe they get decide not you.

The suggestion that Trump’s eligibility could be dismissed based on the 14th Amendment is troubling because it opens a dangerous door. It’s not just about Trump. Today, it’s him. Tomorrow, it could be anyone who challenges the status quo. If a handful of bureaucrats and politicians believe they can redefine the rules to block a candidate they dislike, then elections become mere formalities and our banana republic status is complete.

What happens to our Republic if those in power can simply discard election outcomes that don’t align with their vision?

This rhetoric, combined with the actions and statements of officials, lays a foundation for potential intervention under the guise of legality. Even if you disagree with Trump, we all have to recognize the danger in that precedent. This is a pivotal moment where Americans of all political persuasions should ask themselves how far the ruling class is willing to go.

We’re at a dangerous crossroads, and it’s up to the American people to be vigilant, to question what they’re hearing, and to demand accountability. Because once we accept that election outcomes can be “overturned for our own good,” we abandon the foundations that make this country what it is.

Regardless of your stance on Trump, this issue transcends partisan politics – it’s a question of whether we preserve the integrity of our democratic processes or allow them to be redefined by a handful of elites.

As we go into election week, think critically about what’s being said and who benefits from pushing a narrative of “existential threat.” The true danger to our Republic lies in a system that only respects democracy when it’s convenient.
