EVERYTHING is Broken

and we're live welcome to this new

segment of America uncovered I

I don't know what I should call America uncovered live

or America uncovered direct

maybe you can let me know in the comments below but basically

let me get some coffee

news has been happening so fast

since Trump came into office it's it's it's impossible to keep up

so I thought hey you know what I'll try this new

this new segment where I can just kind of talk off the cuff

directly to you and you know maybe

we can talk about some things you know are

happening just some of my thoughts

something different than the the scripted episodes

that we usually do um

so today I kind of want to talk about uh

some of the stuff that's going on with Doge

so here I'll just have the uh Matt

pull pull it up this is uh this is a tweet from Elon Musk

um going over the so these Social Security

numbers I'm sure you've heard about this now uh

where you know he he's claiming that

there are 1.3 million 150 year olds on

Social Security and and you know you can

see the numbers going all the way up to almost 200

uh and so obviously he uh

he was he was using this as as a sign that

there was you know massive uh fraud in

Social Security but you know people were

quick on X so then uh here pull this one up

um there were all these back and

forths between people saying oh no no no

Elon is completely wrong but then you

had people responding to this saying no

no Elon was right and there was just

this whole back and forth of people

arguing about like what was what was actually going on

uh and it really it's like when when you have people saying

like oh no you don't understand this archaic ancient programming

it's like no ordinary person can actually understand

what they're talking about it's like

Wizards arguing over whose knowledge of the arcane

is superior and it's just like you know I'm like

I just want to be able to afford eggs again

an omelet would be nice uh

can you please stop taxing me

and I think people are just fed up across the political Spectrum

I think people are just tired of feeling

like things are not working

and uh I want to show you this article

from 2022 in tablet magazine it was written

by a woman named Alana new house

and she coined this term broken

I think it's very uh very pre for what's going on right now

just the sense that everything is broken

people don't really know why

or what to fix but this's General sense

that it's just not working and so there is a strong appeal to just hey

you know what let's just burn it all down

and I think this is a part of the popularity of trump

that he's just you just see him

going through like a bulldozzer

uh you know ending

federal aid uh the Doge she's talking about

you going in Fort Knox seeing

if there's gold in there anymore

uh and there's just yeah the sense that just

nothing's working it's it's okay

if just tear it all down tear it all down

uh and this this comes from a lot I think

over the years there was a real contempt

by an American Elite for you know

what they would call quote unquote the fly Over States

or just your your your average people the hoyo uh

political reporting that oh you know

there's no such thing as inflation

inflation isn't a problem and then okay

maybe there is inflation but it's actually a good thing

and then inflation inflation is great quit complaining

about it you morons you don't understand

how the economy works and there's just

this has caused a lot of contempt

for these establishments the whether you're

talking about the government

or the media and you know because I think about Rome every day

uh I I can see a lot of similarities between uh Trump and Caesar

the when Caesar came it's very interesting Caesar

was also part of the Julia Caesar was also part of sort of the Roman Upper Crust Society

but he he leveraged the popularity as the people

and their contempt for these Senators

The Establishment that just wasn't serving them very well

uh and I think you see this kind of mandate

that Trump has his uh you know that Congress is on his side

he's getting all these controversial

uh appointments approved

whether you're talking about tulsy Gabbert

or RFK Jr or cash Patel

and there's just like this excitement of

like okay things are broken just just tear it all down

and I get the appeal of that uh this this is

this was the early Roman emperors the

you know the realization they're like oh

the Senate they don't actually have power anymore

it's it's all about who

can leverage the will of the people and the military

um of course the the problem

with broken ism

is you know you hope after you tear everything down

you have something left that's better and more efficient afterwards

but there's always the risk that just you end up with nothing

uh and I think you know there's a there was a a Roman orator

uh named tacitus

who was famously said Rome

created A Wasteland and called it peace

um you know this there's a lot of Romanticism about the Roman Empire

but you know you got to remember it wasn't

it was it was a pretty brutal time

and I don't think any of us would be doing

particularly well if we were in the Roman Empire

uh but on the bright side

uh if if the comparison to the Roman Empire

uh goes on uh oh yeah speaking of

I I I forgot to show this picture of uh

uh this is an official post on the White House of

of uh Trump as king long live

the king

and now like you know you can do some

hand waving like this is specifically

talking about like you know the King of

New York this was him overturning Kathy hok's surge

pricing uh but like this is this is obviously a slap in the face of like the media

and all of the the government who who who who I as soon as I saw this I could hear them

collectively freaking out and writing posts online

about how this is oh this is this is this is

dangerous this is uh you know a Tyrant

King of America it's just it was calculated to make these people freak out

uh as again this is something that

just you know his his supporters will

see as like ah good there there he's

just he's he's trolling them

um but yeah as this goes on I'll try to

cover the news that happens faster

trying to do this live uh we'll have if the Roman Empire comparison keeps going

we'll have an exciting time when uh well

there'll be a triumphant and then eventually

uh a civil war between Baron JD Vance

and Elon Musk over who gets to inherit Trump's Legacy

so pick your team wisely because if you're on the wrong side it won't go

well but yeah what do you think of this new segment I'm doing

uh do you like it do you like to see more of it it

could be a good way to get out some more breaking news quick

because man things are happening fast

so it's been a pleasure

I've got a lot more coffee and X to scroll through so

have a good one
