An Early-Morning Phone Call
by William Kristol

TRANSCRIPT OF PHONE CONVERSATION BETWEEN PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF SUSIE L. WILES.

CALL INITIATED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP AT 4:17 A.M., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2026.

Wiles: Uh, uh . . . hello?

POTUS: Susie. We got a problem. Bigly.

Wiles: Mr. President, always good to hear from you. Even at . . . four o’clock in the morning.

POTUS: Did you see the news last night?

Wiles: Uh . . .

POTUS: They chanted “Fuck ICE!” last night at a wrestling match! In Vegas! Can you believe it? ICE has gone too far even for idiot pro wrestling fans! Those are my people! Even they think ICE is out of control.

Wiles: Sir, I hadn’t heard that. That is concerning . . .

POTUS: And I’m not going to the Super Bowl because they told me the crowd will boo me. At the Super Bowl! God, Susie, I love football. As a kid I remember watching your dad kick that 49-yard field goal in the snow with two minutes left to win the final regular-season game in 1958 for the Giants and send them to the playoffs.

Wiles: Yes, sir. I was only one year old then, but we used to watch video of that kick growing up.

POTUS: Yeah, that’s when football was great. The Giants. The Colts. The Packers. Twelve teams. None of that expansion bullshit. No black quarterbacks.

Wiles: Um . . . yes. Sir, it’s four o’clock in the morning.

POTUS: My fucking point is that no one likes me any more. Did you see that new poll from that college with a ridiculous Indian name?

Wiles: Quinnipiac, sir?

POTUS: Yeah. Colleges used to have American names. Now they’ve all gone woke. But I guess Quinnieyack or whatever it is has pretty good pollsters. They had me ahead at the end in 2024. And now they have me at fucking 37 percent approval. I’m at 38 percent on immigration—38 percent! On immigration, my issue! ICE’s approval is at 34 percent! ICE is killing me.

Wiles: [sotto voce] You’re not the only one they’re killing.

POTUS: What was that?

Wiles: Nothing, sir. Just clearing my throat. Anyway, that’s why we got rid of Bovino and moved Homan into the spotlight. That’s why he announced the token withdrawal of some guys from Minneapolis. And you did a good job yesterday telling NBC we’re going to have a “softer touch.”

POTUS: Yeah, yeah. That’s all okay. And if we need to make some fake concessions on the funding bill, that’s okay, too. But we gotta make sure the funding for DHS isn’t touched, and that ICE and those great Border Patrol guys can be deployed this fall to the Democrat cities. But the Dems aren’t even asking for funding cuts. Let’s hope they stay clueless. Anyway, the elections are key. Getting rid of the illegals is good. But the important thing is staying in power. And if my numbers keep going down, I’m not sure even we can rig the elections that much.

Wiles: Yes, sir.

POTUS: So we gotta calm things down on the immigration front. And I’ve decided that can’t happen until Stephen goes. So I’m making the move. It’s Miller Time, Susie.

Wiles: That is good news, sir! The staff will be thrilled. That guy creeps out all of us—even Steven Cheung! But what do you want me to do?

POTUS: You did a good job with the leaks to the Journal yesterday. But we need more stuff out there on how he’s screwed up. On how he’s hurting the cause. We need to get people ready for him to leave. Get some of the Fox clowns to start saying maybe he should go.

Wiles: Will do, sir.

POTUS: And explain to Bannon that he shouldn’t complain too much when it happens, that this is for the sake of the big enchilada. For the elections. The elections are what matters. A few more or less illegals—who really gives a shit?

Wiles: Yes, sir.

POTUS: Anyway, as Roy Cohn—God, I wish he were still around!—as he used to say, “Two steps forward, one step back.” Roy was amazing. He came up with all these great expressions.

Wiles: Yes, sir.

POTUS: Roy also had this thing about “If you’re going to do something, do it fast.” But he said it better. Anyway, let’s have Miller “resign” soon, to spend more time with his family.

Wiles: [murmuring] Poor Katie.

POTUS: Tough. Anyway, we need Stephen out before the State of the Union. We’ll get good press from Ross and Bari. The Wall Street Journal will decide we’re being reasonable again. The business guys will get back to making money and stop bothering me.

Wiles: Yes, sir.

POTUS: And of course you need to tell Stephen privately that we’ll bring him back a year from now. We do need him inside to work on 2028. For now, make sure he can keep some kind of special government status so he can stay in the big house on the military base that he likes so much. And we’ll get him something with Witkoff or Don Jr. or Thiel, have them cut him on some of the big crypto deals, let him make some money, keep him happy. But tell him no press for the rest of the year. If he stays out of the news, he’ll be rich and he’ll be back in the White House in 2027.

Wiles: Yes, sir.

POTUS: Meanwhile, as Roy used to say—he was kind of a poet, really—you can tell Steve, “Parting is sweet but also sad.”

Wiles: Got it, sir. Sir, it’s awfully early in the morning, but I want to say you’ve made my day . . .

POTUS: Don’t I always?

[POTUS HANGS UP. CALL TERMINATED AT 4:27 A.M.]

Q: Who actually pays for tariffs?
A: American consumers and businesses pay almost all of it through higher prices, with foreign producers absorbing only a small fraction.

Q: What is “affordability to consumers”?
A: Affordability to consumers refers to the ability of individuals or households to purchase a good, service, or asset (like FOOD, GAS, MEDICINE, CLOTHING, housing, cars, education, healthcare, etc.) without causing excessive financial strain relative to their income and overall budget.

Q: What is a democracy?
A: A democracy is a system of government where supreme power rests with the people, who exercise it either directly or through freely elected representatives, ensuring decisions reflect the popular will while protecting rights, as famously described by Abraham Lincoln as government ”
of the people, by the people, for the people”. Key principles include popular sovereignty, political equality, free & fair elections, accountability, the rule of law, and fundamental human rights like freedom of speech, ensuring power isn’t concentrated, and citizens can participate in shaping their governance.

Q: What is a dictatorship?
A: A dictatorship is a form of government where absolute power rests with a single leader and a small group of oligarchs (Corporations and Billionaires), characterized by authoritarian control, suppression of opposition, limited civil liberties, and the use of propaganda to maintain power, often by seizing control through force or exploiting crises and refusing to relinquish it.

Concentrated Power: A single dictator or a small ruling circle holds all political authority, unchecked by democratic processes or independent institutions.

Suppression of Rights: Citizens’ freedoms, such as speech, assembly, and the press, are severely restricted or outright banned to prevent dissent.

Propaganda & Control: The state controls media and information, using propaganda to shape public opinion and portray the leader favorably.

Lack of Accountability: Dictators are not accountable to the people and often use intimidation, force, or terror to stay in power.

Steps to Achieve
Authoritarianism / Dictatorship

means it’s happening NOW.

Weakening Democratic Institutions

Politicizing independent institutions: Authoritarian leaders often seek to control institutions designed to be independent from partisan politics, such as law enforcement and the judiciary, compromising their impartiality.

Aggrandizing executive power: They aim to strengthen executive power and weaken the checks and balances provided by legislatures, courts, and other oversight bodies.

Corrupting elections: While potentially maintaining the appearance of elections, authoritarians may manipulate electoral processes through interference with campaigning, electoral fraud, or by stacking the rules against their opponents.

Limiting political pluralism: This involves suppressing opposition parties and groups, restricting their ability to participate in the political process.

Controlling Information and Dissent

Spreading disinformation: Authoritarians utilize and amplify falsehoods to manipulate public opinion and create a narrative that serves their agenda.

Quashing dissent: They actively silence opposition and independent media, which are essential for a healthy democracy.

Using propaganda and personality cults: Dictators frequently control the media to spread propaganda, often focusing on a cult of personality centered on the leader to maintain public support.

Exploiting Societal Divisions and Fear

Scapegoating vulnerable communities: Authoritarians often target and blame specific groups, such as minorities or immigrants, for societal problems, fostering division and turning segments of the population against each other.

Stoking violence: They may condone or encourage political violence to intimidate opponents and discourage opposition.

Appealing to emotion and crisis: Dictators may leverage perceived or manufactured crises to justify their ascent to power and present themselves as the only viable solution.

Consolidating Power

Eliminating political opponents: This can involve imprisoning, exiling, or even killing those who oppose the authoritarian regime.

Building loyalty through patronage and control: Dictators might reward supporters with benefits, while also establishing security services and monitoring agencies to ensure obedience.

Centralizing power in the hands of the ruler or a small elite group: This often involves diminishing the authority of other branches of government and institutions.

Chaos and Instability

Economic factors and societal instability can play a role: Economic problems, political divisions, and social unrest can create conditions ripe for authoritarianism’s rise.

Make the people economically insecure.

The path to dictatorship is not always swift: Democracies can decline gradually through a series of incremental steps, making the transition less immediately apparent … until it’s too late to recover the country for its citizens.

Sinclair Broadcast Group: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

You should at least be aware of what you are being fed as “news”.

Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That’s alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news.

If any “segment” on a local station is not actual news, it may just be one of the propaganda pieces they script for all of their affiliates to parrot to the nation. Don’t be fooled and misinformed.
Do you care? Check YOUR local news broadcasters to see if your preferred local news channel is affiliated with Sinclair.

This Is Trump’s Cover-Up (w/ Bill Kristol) | The Bulwark Podcast

On the Epstein matter, the current DOJ is not just putting its thumb on the scale for Trump. It’s his defense team. Make no mistake: The top two officials at the Justice Department are executing Trump’s wishes to cover-up the victims’ statements and the details about Epstein’s 2008 sweetheart deal. It’s the president’s cover-up, and the mainstream media needs to call it for what it is.

And over at CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Bari Weiss wants Trump to know she’s on the administration’s side as well. Meanwhile, Vance made clear at AmericaFest that he’s cool with literal Nazis in the MAGA coalition as he readies for his 2028 run. Plus, Kushner and Witkoff are still doing Putin’s bidding, the governor of Louisiana is adding the (pretend) invasion of Greenland to his portfolio, and Tim reads from the Monday Mailbag.

Decent people will remember and never forgive what Republicans and MAGA have done (and continue to do) to harm Americans and the world.

Chuck Schumer Fails to Fight Back Against Trump…AGAIN

Nov 10, 2025 | The Warning with Steve Schmidt

“While the government shutdown is finally over, the lack of Democratic leadership from Chuck Schumer led the party to ultimately give in to GOP demands. Steve Schmidt reacts to the end of the shutdown and calls for new leaders on the left.”

Our dictator posted the AI generated video (below) on his Lies Social account.
This is all on you MAGA.

The Independent – 2025OCT19

“President Donald Trump, who remained mostly quiet Saturday (18th October) as nearly 7 million demonstrators took part in the “No Kings” protests against his administration, posted several AI-generated videos that evening.

In one shocking video, an AI-generated version of the president wears a crown and robe and boasts a sword before the camera pans to several high-profile Democrats bowing down to him.

In another, a depiction of him flies in a “King Trump” airplane. Wearing a crown, he flies over the crowds of protesters and dumps brown liquid on them.

Saturday’s protests marked the third mass mobilization against Trump since he reclaimed the White House.”

de·cent
/dēs(ə)nt/ adjective
Decent is used to describe something which is considered to be of an acceptable standard or quality.

pa·tri·ot
/pa-trē-ət/ noun
A person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors, foreign or domestic.

fas·cism

[fash-iz-uhm] noun

A populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.


Fascism is a political ideology and mass movement that was prominent in many parts of Europe from 1919 to 1945, and also had adherents in other parts of the world. Though fascist parties differed, they shared traits such as extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and liberalism, belief in natural social hierarchy and elite rule, and the desire to create a “people’s community” where individual interests are secondary to the nation’s good.

Fascists often blamed their countries’ problems on scapegoats like Jews, immigrants, and Marxists. Fascism is hard to define, but it represents a hyper-nationalistic and militaristic form of rule. Fascist movements mobilized the public under a mass political party and glorified a heroic leader. Fascists defended the Führerprinzip, the belief that the party and state should have a single, all-powerful leader.

prop·a·gan·da

/ˌpräpəˈɡandə/ noun
Propaganda is the systematic dissemination of information, often biased or misleading, to promote a specific political cause or point of view. It involves manipulating information to influence public opinion and behavior, often through selective presentation of facts, loaded language, emotional appeals, and direct lies.

The motives are usually profit-driven through various forms of GRIFT aimed directly at the propagandist’s supporters and anyone who is easily misled and willing to believe anything, regardless of reason or REAL facts that exist.

What’s in IT for me?

How does EACH policy or law directly affect YOU in reality/fact, instead of just how you are TOLD they do … by leaders and their propaganda machines who directly profit from your deception and support?

Try going outside propaganda bubbles yourself and see what REAL, Independent News (not opinion and propaganda) Organizations report about specific topics (policies and laws) that directly affect you … in reality.

By the time YOU discover what is TRULY imposed upon YOU, it will be too late. You and your loved ones will lose yet another right that others previously fought so hard for US to have.

Seek FACTS … not comforting propaganda and fear.You will thank yourself later … in how YOU as a person/patriot are remembered.

Do You Really Want a Dictatorship?
How will it benefit YOU?

A dictatorship is an autocratic form of government that is characterized by a leader, or a group of leaders, who hold governmental powers with few to no limitations.

A dictator controls politics in a dictatorship, which is facilitated through an inner circle of elites that includes advisers, generals, and other high-ranking officials. The dictator maintains control by influencing and appeasing the inner circle and repressing any opposition, which may include rival political parties, armed resistance, or disloyal members of the dictator’s inner circle. Dictatorships can be formed by a military coup that overthrows the previous government through force, or they can be formed by a self-coup in which elected leaders make their rule permanent.

The dictator exercises most or total power over the government and society, but sometimes elites are necessary to carry out the dictator’s rule. They form an inner circle, making up a class of elites that hold a degree of power within the dictatorship and receive benefits in exchange for their support. They may be military officers, party members, friends, or family of the dictator. Elites are also the primary political threats to a dictator, as they can leverage their power to influence or overthrow the dictatorship.

The inner circle’s support is necessary for a dictator’s orders to be carried out, causing elites to serve as a check on the dictator’s power. To enact policy, a dictator must either appease the regime’s elites or attempt to replace them. Elites must also compete to wield more power than one another, but the amount of power held by elites also depends on their unity (or an individual’s usefulness to the Dictator).

Factions or divisions among the elites will mitigate their ability to bargain with the dictator, resulting in the dictator having more unrestrained power. A unified inner circle can overthrow a dictator, and the dictator must make greater concessions to the inner circle to stay in power.

A dictatorship is formed when a specific group seizes power, with the composition of this group affecting how power is seized and how the eventual dictatorship will rule. The group may be military or political, it may be organized or disorganized, and it may disproportionately represent a certain demographic.

After power is seized, the group must determine what positions its members will hold in the new government and how this government will operate, sometimes resulting in disagreements that split the group. Members of the group will typically make up the elites in a dictator’s inner circle at the beginning of a new dictatorship. However, the dictator may remove them to gain additional power.
