FASCIST AMERICA 2025: Relentless Truth Tellers, Major Journalists, Public Intellectuals, Critics, Authors, Media Mavens, Teachers, and Activists Wajahat Ali and Danielle Moodie On the Real Sources Of the Rampant Corruption, Pathological Hatred, Pervasive Greed, Extreme Cruelty, and Relentless Stupidity that Currently Dominates America Today-- PART 2 + KRYSTAL BALL vs MAGA: How to Trigger WHITE NATIONALISTS Every Single Time--Pass the Word!

How BILLIONAIRES Are Pushing a Pro-Death, EUGENICS Agenda

In this explosive conversation, Wajahat Ali and Danielle Moodie uncover how the CDC’s shocking rollbacks are not “mistakes” — they’re part of a billionaire-driven, pro-death, eugenics-aligned agenda that puts vulnerable Americans directly in harm’s way. In this explosive deep dive, we examine a disturbing trend shaping American politics and public health: a pro-death march backed by extremist ideology, billionaire influence, and collapsing democratic institutions. Policies that weaken vaccines, cut public health protections, and dismiss rising mortality aren’t accidents. They are part of a worldview that treats millions of Americans as expendable. Recent CDC decisions, including delaying the hepatitis B birth dose and relaxing MMR safeguards, have sparked outrage among experts who warn these moves will literally cost children their lives, revive deadly diseases like measles and polio, and increase liver cancer rates in the coming decades. Who benefits from this? -Not the public. -Not families. -Not the working class. It is the wealthy elite, who have private doctors, full vaccine access, and gated health outcomes. The rest of America is left with a gutted system, a system that disproportionately harms the poor, the disabled, and marginalized communities. This worldview mirrors the logic of historical eugenics programs, Nazi “fitness” rhetoric, and today’s white supremacist paranoia about “declining birth rates.” Influential tech billionaires echo these obsessions while promoting a two-tier future where the elite preserve their genes and the masses become a disposable labor class, perhaps one day on Mars. We saw this playbook during COVID: sacrifice the elderly, the immunocompromised, the working class “for the economy.” Now it’s back and far more dangerous. At the same time, Americans face historic levels of financial stress: • 46% say the cost of living is the worst they’ve ever seen • Google searches for “affordability” have risen 110% in a year • Most Americans burn through their paycheck in just two days • Only 28% can save anything at all Meanwhile, Donald Trump calls the affordability crisis a “con job.” But even 39% of Trump voters say he shares blame for the economic collapse. This episode exposes the truth: The elite are not failing, they are cashing in. And the public is paying with their health, their future, and in too many cases, their lives.

KRYSTAL BALL vs MAGA: How to Trigger WHITE NATIONALISTS Every Single Time

In this explosive conversation, Wajahat sits down with Krystal Ball to break down the exact pressure points that trigger MAGA extremists and white nationalists. Bullies hate being mocked. They hate being exposed. And most of all, they hate people talking back. That’s why the MAGA movement, built on misogyny, white grievance, and the illusion of unstoppable power, absolutely cannot handle being challenged by people who refuse to bow down. This week, Krystal Ball triggered the entire right-wing ecosystem simply by telling the truth about white supremacists, Trump’s doubling down on Islamophobia, and the delusion of Latino ICE agents who think they’ll be protected by a white nationalist regime. Instead of engaging, the right responded with rage-bait, meltdown videos, and Nazi talking points about “remigration,” “sending us back,” and repopulating America with white babies. The hoods are off. The mask is gone. Krystal Ball (co-host of Breaking Points) breaks down exactly why white supremacists and MAGA influencers collapse whenever a woman, especially a white woman, refuses to play along with their fragile authoritarian fantasy. Ball explains why mocking fascists is so powerful and why the future GOP will be even more extreme, represented not by traditional conservatives but by Groypers, neo-Nazis, and men who worship the manosphere. We also dig into why Democrats need a new generation of fighters willing to confront the corrupt Establishment, reject the broligarchy, and stop bending over backwards for Israel. If Democrats want to survive the death rattle of white supremacy, Senator Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and Rep. Jeffries cannot be the future. This is a conversation about power, who has it, who abuses it, and who is finally refusing to be bullied by fascists.
