Sammy Sage: 本期节目探讨了隐藏在特朗普背后的三个危险团体，它们组成了一个"死亡三合会"，共同目标是终结美国民主。这三个团体分别是：1. 2025计划/传统基金会（基督教法西斯主义福音派）：他们希望建立一个以宗教为中心的社会，取消社会福利项目，并最终修改宪法。2. 亿万富翁技术专家：他们希望建立一个反民主的、自由主义的、资本主义主导的社会，由少数技术专家控制。3. 反西方外国势力：他们希望削弱美国和西方联盟的全球领导地位。这三个团体虽然目标不同，但都希望削弱美国民主，并利用特朗普来实现各自的目标。特朗普本人缺乏意识形态，成为这些团体的傀儡。 Sammy Sage: MAGA运动是特朗普的个人崇拜，而特朗普本人是三个不同利益集团的代言人，这些集团试图利用他来实现自己的目标。这些集团的目标是建立一个反民主的社会，但他们对这个社会的具体形态有不同的设想。2025计划的人希望建立一个以宗教为中心的社会；亿万富翁技术专家希望建立一个由他们控制的资本主义社会；外国势力则希望终结美国的全球领导地位。 Sammy Sage: 特朗普选择J.D. Vance为副总统候选人，正是亿万富翁技术专家们施加影响的结果。这表明，这些团体需要特朗普来接触其支持者，而特朗普也需要这些团体来资助他的竞选活动。 Bea Spear: 节目中还讨论了其他话题，例如：拜登总统提名瓦尔·德明斯加入美国邮政服务局董事会，这可能导致邮政局长德乔被罢免；以及拜登总统提出的关于最高法院改革的建议。

Also, why you should be excited about Val Demings joining the USPS Board, and what that might mean for Post Master General Louis DeJoy.

MAIN NEWS

14:15 Sami walks us through 3 of the most dangerous groups that are behind Donald Trump that we have affectionately nicknamed the “trifecta of death.” This includes Project 2025/the Heritage Foundation, technocrats like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk (who we can thank for JD Vance’s presence on the ticket) and anti-western foreign interests like Russia and China. Even though all three groups have different tactics, it’s clear their mutual short-term goal is to get Donald Trump elected to end American democracy for their own ends.

**DOWN BALLOT ERA **

48:45 This week, we’re shouting out democratic candidate for Ohio’s 12th district, Jerrad Christian, who outed Trump & Guiliani’s dealings with the Russian mafia, going back to the 1980's on his X thread. Christian highlights how the Russian mafia was living in Trump Tower, and Giuliani’s involvement with them. We love a representative who does his homework.

AMERICAN'T

52:00 We simply can’t fathom the lack of vetting of JD Vance. That’s what happens when you put Don Jr. and Eric in charge.
