As Americans across the country are struggling right now, what is the MAGA Republican Speaker of the House talking about? What was he doing over this weekend? He was spreading a completely debunked conspiracy that the FBI was the reason for the January 6th insurrection. By the way, even Kash Patel over the weekend had to say that these ridiculously false and frankly, defamatory

0:26

posts by Donald Trump from the weekend. And frankly, Donald Trump's been posting this a ton that there were that there were FBI agents who are the real reason for the insurrection and 274 of them were embedded and they were the reason that the insurrection was caused. Even Cash Patel was like, now they came after and then they still try to blame the FBI for coming after, even though Trump didn't call the National Guard.

0:49

But you have Meghan Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House spewing this debunk conspiracy nonsense, when Americans are like, I can't afford my groceries, whatever, what are you doing? And this just shows the cult nature of what the Republican Party has become.

1:03

It's just odd. Here, play this clip.

1:05

It should do, and they have to hold people accountable. We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone, and that's exactly what's happening here.

1:13

Does the rule of law have to apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th?

1:20

Well, I'm glad you brought that up. There's new information over the last couple of days about that as well. Apparently, there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd on January 6.

1:30

No, no, no. I think that the total number of persons involved... No, no, no. Kash Patel just brought some enhanced understanding to that. They were sent there to do crowd control because of everything that was going on. It wasn't a false flag

1:42

operation as President Trump suggested. Well, well, Jake, wait a minute. Hold on, Jake. How do you know that? Right. There's a lot going on. We're going to tell brand new questions about. Well, and I'm telling you that there's videos and there's it's always been disputed what involvement some of those persons engaged in, what involvement they had. Did they spur on the crowd? Did they open the gates to allow them in? I don't know. These are questions, but they should be answered. And-

2:08

We do know the answer. There were hundreds of trials before juries in Washington, DC, where all of the insurrectionists, every single one was convicted, where the defendants had the opportunity to bring that up. It was never proven that it existed. In fact, it was proven that it didn't exist.

2:25

And then Kash Patel posted, he had to do a clarification after Donald Trump's post saying that it was a lie. But just setting aside that, I mean, over the weekend you have, again, while Americans are struggling to afford rent, or if they're lucky enough to have a home before their mortgage, you have Donald Trump posting about all the gold in the white house, some of the highest quality, 24 carat gold used in the oval office and cabinet room of the white house, foreign leaders and everyone else freak out when they see the quality and

2:57

beauty of this gold in the oval office. And then Donald Trump posted about. UFO technology from, from aliens, like aliens from outer space, that they brought in technology called med beds that the government was keeping secret, that it's like an MRI device. And if you go in the med bed, your cancer gets cured and then Trump's going to give

3:19

the American people UFO alien technology, alien technology.

3:27

And then he kept that up for quite some time.

3:29

And then he posted a cartoon of himself

3:34

firing the chairman of the Federal Reserve and just says you're fired.

3:36

And like I know he does a bunch of stuff. So a lot of this stuff isn't talked about. That just all happened in one day. Aliens, you're fired to the chairman of the Federal Reserve bragging about all the gold

3:45

in the Oval Office.

3:46

What's happened?

3:47

What's seriously, what's happened to this Republican? And why is it being treated like it's normal? I want to bring in Jeff Dupkin, the former lieutenant governor of Georgia was a Republican, now a Democrat running for governor of Georgia in 2026. You have to look at that and say, what the hell happened to my Republican party? What is that stuff?

4:09

And why is it being normalized that that is like, that's just what it means to be a Republican today?

4:15

That's so odd.

4:16

The only way I can explain this whole MAGA Donald Trump is it's a Ponzi scheme built on propaganda and that's all it is. And they just continue to fester and pass along the information. I mean, to hear Mike Johnson try to explain that

4:30

and to walk backwards, it's disgusting. Look, I think every day there are more people like me that are looking up going, this is not a Republican Party that represents a majority of Americans. This is not a Republican Party that's productive, fair, honest, nothing.

4:45

And so I feel like this is an opportunity for Democrats to grow the size of the tent.

4:51

With every Ponzi scheme, right? And almost the parody of a Ponzi scheme, right? You ask for your money back and what do they tell you? Two more weeks. Just give me two more weeks. Give me another month and I've got it.

5:02

I'm working on it. I'm working on it. It's gonna be better. The golden age is just like Trump's doing that. And it's such a parody farcical thing, but look, he managed to convince people again in 2024 that on day one, all these things were gonna happen. Now we're in the two weeks, one month, two weeks.

5:21

We're there, we fixed it.

5:23

We didn't fix it. What are you seeing in Georgia right now as you're running for governor there? I'm seeing people are scared to death. I see people that are worried about paying their rent next month. I'm worried, see people are worried about paying for all the groceries they need for the week for their family, affordable housing. We've got a health care crisis that's only getting worse by the second. That's what I see. I see Georgians really, really scared. And that's, you know, my campaign for governor

5:48

is nothing more, nothing less than staying focused on the issues that matter most to Georgians. We have three crisis. We've got an affordability crisis, which is hitting every zip code, every county. We've got a healthcare crisis

5:59

and we've got a Donald Trump crisis. That's what I'm focused on. And I think that's the pathway forward for Democrats for the first time in nearly 30 years to win the governor's race here in Georgia. You know, one of the things I noticed right away

6:11

is Donald Trump depriving Georgia of that supplemental FEMA assistance. And to me, that really sent a message from the outset,

6:23

you know, where the current governor sent the letter, hey, we need that extension. Here's where we were funded up to full capacity. And then you have to supplement it after X amount of days. And at least all of the original responses were denied, denied, denied.

6:41

And I remember when the current governor called, I remember it very vividly because it was during the campaign and Trump was saying all these things that Biden's refusing to do this and that and FEMA and all of these things,

6:55

say what you want about Biden. He gave the aid right away to Georgia and the governor said, he gave us the aid, we're grateful for that support and that cooperation.

7:04

And then

7:05

Trump literally did the lies that he was accused on the other side of and said, I'm not going to give the emergency aid. So to me, from the outset, I think that was back in February or whatever, right away, I'm like, okay, if you're denying the emergency FEMA aid, you're really out. To punish the state that voted for you. You really don't like this state. You want to cause harm to the state of Georgia.

7:31

I mean, the very people who need this aid the most are negatively affected for, who knows what the petty grievance is. I mean, you continue to watch Donald Trump weaponize agency after agency after agency, whether it be DOJ, FMOC, FEMA, you name it.

7:46

It just continues to use as a weapon of destruction against the very people that not only voted for, but that he represents. I mean, there's a bigger cause than winning an election when you're the president of the United States. You've got to represent all Americans. And quite honestly, this world is a better world when the US is leading by example. And we're not doing that right now. We continue to embarrass ourselves on the national front, on the international front. It's hard to watch. But look, we have a chance to get some things right in Georgia. I think we've got an opportunity to really put on display for the rest of the

8:18

country what it looks like to elect common sense decision makers that are able to call honest balls and strikes and win an election, but then govern effectively. That's hopefully what we can do here in Georgia. So talk to us, we know Donald Trump's obviously causing a lot of pain to the state. And I saw recent manufacturing numbers.

8:37

I mean, I don't know how else to call what's going on in manufacturing and construction, anything but a manufacturing and construction recession. We saw in Georgia, literally a militarized attack on the Hyundai plant. There were actually billions of dollars

8:54

were being invested into manufacturing. We see the pain that's being caused. So how do you kind of step up now as a Democrat after being in the Republican Party? What's your forward-looking agenda to navigate these times where it seems that Trump is hostile to the state of Georgia and hostile to any state based on whatever grievance that he

9:16

had?

9:17

Look, Donald Trump's making it hard. He's making it hard for Georgians to stay focused on the issues that they want. He's making it hard for them to keep their jobs, keep their communities. I mean, at the end of the day, we've got this incredibly beautiful asset in our ports down in Savannah. Tariffs are negatively affecting that. We're watching the ice raids on one of our biggest international investors in Hyundai, with 450 individuals being uprooted for what ends up looking like a clerical error

9:47

that could have been cleaned up with just a few phone calls. Look, as governor, I'm gonna stay focused on meeting people where they're at in their communities, not trying to look for partisan fistfights, not looking for cheap political points, but really looking for ways to amplify programs

10:00

like affordable housing programs that Mayor Dickens in Atlanta has done. Standing behind Senators Warnock and Ossoff and their support of expanding Medicaid in this state, looking for opportunities to continue to drive workforce development.

10:15

Look, we've got a lot of work to do and limited budgets to do it in, but I think if we as Georgians don't take the bait of this national fist fight that keeps playing out, I think we're gonna be better off for it. Are you seeing any changes in Georgia?

10:29

I mean, you're close to a lot of people who probably are like you, you know, who were Republican, but then looked at all this behavior and says, really just from a behavioral standpoint and a conduct standpoint and a conduct standpoint and a values and principles standpoint,

10:47

y'all just became Trump, this ain't Republican, but now as you're traveling for this governor's race, are you seeing from 2024, the election, to where we are now heading into October, do you see changes in the people or is it false hope that's out there? What are you actually seeing on the ground? Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth,

11:12

the Democratic tent gets bigger and it should keep getting bigger, right? He's lied to the farmers. He's the terrorists are absolutely disrupted. He's lied to those that were affected by natural disasters. He's lied to those government workers that were trying to hang on to their jobs and provide services. He's just continuing to mislead Americans and specifically Georgians. And so I think the size of the tent as Democrats is getting bigger, but we can't take this

11:36

lightly. We've got to continue to push forward. We need to continue to have folks like the story that I have. Look, this journey for me becoming a Democrat started years ago. But I'm proud to say I'm a Democrat. I'm proud to be able to show up to work now every day

11:50

and have a better toolkit to love my neighbor with, instead of trying to villainize everybody or put an asterisk mark next to somebody, just because they don't look like me or talk like me or love like me or worship like me. I have a bigger opportunity to have a positive influence. And I think the party is going to get bigger, but we've got to embrace this disciplined focus

12:07

of winning these elections. As I mentioned earlier, it's been nearly 30 years since the Democrats won. And it's quite simple. They've not been able to gather the attention of Democrats, independents,

12:17

and those disgusted Republicans. They're there. They're there for us now to be able to swoop up and have them come support us in this election. Where can people learn more about the campaign and more about the issues that you're focused on? Well, first, website's dunkinforgeorgia.com,

12:33

dunkinforgeorgia.com. It's a resource so you can send questions to us. They come directly to this room I'm sitting in here. You can make campaign contributions and also sign up to volunteer. And look, I pay attention to the public square. We're going everywhere.

12:47

159 counties in Georgia. We're going to get to as many places as we can. You know, interesting enough, I won a statewide race previously as for lieutenant governor. I know what it takes. It takes effort and it takes meeting people where they're at. And that's what we plan to do. Jeff Duncan running for governor, Democratic candidate, 2026 Georgia election. Thanks Jeff.
