Pratica di Shadowing: This ENDS Mike's Majority - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
Donald Trump has effectively killed the Republican Party and his entire MAGA movement, and it is because they are permanently tied to him.
2
There is no ability for MAGA to create space between themselves and Donald Trump.
3
It is why these midterms are going to be a wipeout, and it is why Mike Johnson is going to be losing his job.
4
And considering how unpopular he is within his own caucus in MAGA, I don't think he'll ever have it again.
5
And that is just hilarious to me.
6
But that was before what Donald Trump said today.
7
That reality that exists for Mike Johnson, it has only gotten worse after a shock admission from Donald Trump
8
that I just cannot believe he made and continues to make.
9
And it is also all made worse by the fact
10
that there is a faction of MAGA or former MAGA trying to seize on this moment.
11
That is what Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing right now.
12
It's where I want to start before we get to Donald Trump.
13
completely screwing Mike Johnson.
14
Explaining to you guys how this is actually going to work.
15
26 midterms and the 28 presidential race is not going to be anything like 2024, where there was so much support for MAGA.
16
The coalition came in and got behind Trump.
17
And here's why.
18
When the president started telling his own supporters that he didn't want their support, remember that Truth Social post where he said,
19
my past supporters, and he was calling the Epstein files a hoax.
20
Yeah, these were women that were talking about
21
and telling their stories about being raped by these elite rich men when they were 14 and 16 years old.
22
And then the president fought me and Thomas Massey and all of us who were trying to release the Epstein files, and he called it a Democrat hoax.
23
Yeah, that's going to be a problem in the midterms.
24
You know what another problem in the midterms is going to be that is totally broken the entire coalition.
25
It's calling affordability a hoax.
26
Yeah, remember when the president called affordability a Democrat hoax?
27
Same word he used to describe raping girls when they're 14 and 16 years old.
28
Affordability is not a hoax.
29
And it's not something that you shame young people like Gen Z, shame them for their work habits and shame them and tell them They need to,
30
you know, pull themselves up by the bootstraps because it's a lot different for young people today than it was for, say, my generation and the baby boomer generation.
31
The dollar actually had value 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.
32
Now the dollar isn't worth shit.
33
And that's because Congress won't stop spending the money.
34
And that's because we have leaders like President Trump who's gone full neocon and just can't back away from war, just can't back away from it.
35
And that's the third issue there, folks.
36
You want to know why 26 and 28 is going to be different?
37
Because Donald Trump broke his big,
38
big campaign promise of no more foreign wars and actually has got us embroiled in a war with Iran,
39
a war that should not be happening and he's not backing off of it and it will probably get worse.
40
So that has fed the affordability crisis.
41
That's why people can't afford gasoline.
42
That's why people's bills keep going up.
43
Food prices are still going up.
44
Beef is at all times high.
45
It's ridiculous.
46
And you don't lecture the people that got you in office.
47
You don't lecture them and tell them the things they care about as a hoax.
48
You don't lecture them and call them names like panicans
49
and tell them that they better come in and pull the coalition together and stop the Democrats.
50
No. You know what you should have done?
51
You should have stuck to your campaign promises and you should have delivered for the people that put you in office, not the ones writing you the big fat checks.
52
Marjorie Taylor Greene is right that MAGA is dead.
53
And of course, she's saying that because in my mind, and this is just the truth, she is a political opportunist who wants to seize this moment to say
54
that she should take over the mantle of the real MAGA party
55
and that Donald Trump has abandoned his values and MAGA would work if it had someone who actually believed it.
56
Now, of course, this is bullshit.
57
Donald Trump has run this same playbook he did in 2015.
58
He did in 2024.
59
Like, Donald Trump has done this a lot.
60
This is what you always see with conservatives or wannabe authoritarians.
61
We just need to go back to an older time when everything was good, wasn't it?
62
Nostalgia doesn't really paint a full picture.
63
But that's what Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to do because she is a political opportunist.
64
But Donald Trump has given her countless opportunities to rag on her old party.
65
And the latest one might be the stupidest yet.
66
What Donald Trump had to say about one of the most unpopular issues out there, and that's data centers.
67
There are several Republicans who are running for midterms this year who are starting to come out against AI data centers.
68
Why do you think they're taking a different approach than you are?
69
Well, who are they?
70
Do you know?
71
The Senate race in Ohio is one example where it's become a very hot topic.
72
Well, the data center subject to me is a pretty simple one.
73
If you pick the right location, and it's got to be not every location is perfect for it, but you pick the right location,
74
what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes.
75
And the data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid.
76
It's going to lower the electric cost because they're building electricity.
77
And the extra, as an example, we talked about this once.
78
I'm very proud of it.
79
It was my idea.
80
They're going to build their own electric producing facility.
81
And that electricity that they have left over is going to the grid.
82
It's going to lower the cost of electricity.
83
So if I were a community, I would want the data center.
84
It means jobs, it means income, and it means lower taxes.
85
Do you want Republican candidates to take the same AI to take the same message on data centers that you are?
86
No, I want them to do what they want.
87
Some people feel differently.
88
I really want them.
89
If a Republican is against the data center, that's okay with me.
90
I'm only saying that if I ran a community, now there are different types of communities, but generally speaking, if I ran a community,
91
if I was a mayor or if I was a governor in the state, I would want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
92
They're clean.
93
They produce their own energy.
94
The new ones are producing their own energy.
95
I would want to have data centers.
96
Donald Trump coming out in support of data centers is maybe just the biggest mistake possible right now.
97
I cannot think of many more things more unpopular than AI,
98
data centers, flat cameras, all of which Donald Trump is completely on board with.
99
And I think there was a kind of a reorganization of MAGA against the tech elite
100
that have now come into bed with Donald Trump and his administration that is playing out right now, right?
101
For the longest time, MAGA was, you know, anti the surveillance state, or at least again, they claim to be.
102
They were anti big tech.
103
They didn't want them to have their data, you know, to stay out of my life, you know, the big government, all those things.
104
That was their message.
105
Now they're doing complete data surveillance.
106
The Palantir guy picked the vice president and tells Trump what to do.
107
And he's going full data center.
108
This is insanity.
109
Why?
110
It's because Larry Ellison has given him lots of money.
111
He bought CBS for him.
112
He bought TikTok.
113
Larry Ellison is doing everything he can to help Donald Trump.
114
And Oracle has benefited tremendously by these data centers.
115
And so are the rest of the oligarchs.
116
And so Donald Trump is endorsing data centers.
117
Maybe the most unpopular thing right now.
118
And that is just driving a stake into Mike Johnson
119
and any effort that Republicans could have at this point to keep the House.
120
It's just not going to happen.
121
If Donald Trump is aligning himself on the side of like the most unpopular thing right now, it's really done for them.
122
Like this is an admission that kills.
123
This is this is like you could call it a gaffe.
124
But like Donald Trump is a walking gaffe.
125
All he says is stupid.
126
But if I was a Democrat, I would run that again and again and again.
127
I would want a data center, says Donald Trump, who doesn't have a data center by Mar-a-Lago.
128
And he doesn't have a data center by the White House.
129
And he doesn't have a data center in New York nowhere
130
that Donald Trump goes or will go has a data center near it.
131
And he doesn't care about electric costs because he stole $3.2 billion during the presidency.
132
So that is a clip as a Democrat that I would run over and over and over and over again.
133
And you know it's bad because Republicans are trying to run away from the data centers, at least publicly, but they're getting caught.
134
And Abdul Al-Sayed exposed his opponent, Mike Rogers, in his lies.
135
This is what our party should be doing.
136
Opponent Republican Mike Rogers is calling for a one year moratorium.
137
This is new.
138
What do you think?
139
Tell us about for people who are just tuning into this race
140
and trying to understand how this issue is playing in states across the country.
141
How is that going to sit with the people of Michigan?
142
Where do you stand on it?
143
How are how are Michigan voters digesting this issue?
144
You know, let me just step back and set this up.
145
This comes just a couple of days after there was some really embarrassing reporting in Lever News about the fact
146
that this guy and his wife are knee deep in investments in the AI industry.
147
And the article was specifically about how much money they might
148
make from a data center bonanza with this no holds barred approach that we've got right now.
149
And so he's at this press conference where he's touting all eight Democrats who support him in somebody's front yard
150
and he gets asked by a really smart, enterprising local reporter, Craig Mogher, from the Detroit News about his position on data centers.
151
And the man clearly hasn't actually thought about his position on data centers
152
because he does whatever Donald Trump or the corporations tell him to do.
153
And he's like, I think we should take a pause.
154
And then his team trying to make up for the fact
155
that he just made policy from the hip because he hasn't taken the time to think about it, issue a press release calling for a statewide moratorium.
156
But guess what?
157
He's running for U.S.
158
Senate, meaning he can't actually do anything at the state level.
159
These aren't serious people.
160
These are corporate shills who are bought off by the companies who stand to benefit at our loss.
161
And he's stuck, again, between what the voters actually want and what Donald Trump and the corporations who control him want.
162
And so he's shooting from the hip because, for him, he'd rather not actually answer questions.
163
This is what happens when he doesn't dodge.
164
He took one question and it ended up in, like, policy turmoil.
165
So this clown car of a campaign trying to tout their
166
support from Democrats gets caught not having an actual position Proposes a position they can't actually do anything about
167
which is Contrapositive to what he actually has said his entire campaign
168
and we benefits from So all of that is to say
169
that at the end of the day
170
if we're not serious about getting money out of politics We're not going to be serious about solving real problems.
171
I've been clear from the jump I believe in a terms of engagement We need to make sure
172
that any data center proposed at any level in any place follows the following terms that they use union labor,
173
all union labor, that there is no increase in our utility rates, that they don't touch our water supplies,
174
that the money that is taken by utility is invested in improving our reliability,
175
and that there is a clear community benefits agreement so that every local community gets made rich if, in fact, they choose to include one of these in their community.
176
That's real policy, unlike the clown car shoot from the hip public policy from corrupted Mike Rogers.
177
That's why you need a debate.
178
He's not going to pull punches.
179
Like, I think Abdul wants to get in the pads and, like, run an Oklahoma drill with this guy.
180
He fucking hates him.
181
And I love that because he's a bad person who has worked for the pharmaceutical companies in and out of Congress.
182
He moved to Florida.
183
He's not a Michigan guy.
184
And of course, he's going to let the data centers pop up all over your community
185
because he doesn't give a shit and it will only help him and his rich friends.
186
So, yeah, this is the issue that Democrats should obviously be running on.
187
And the fact that Donald Trump is team data center is not a surprise, but it probably is to Mike
188
He's probably not happy about it because again Republicans can't escape Donald Trump Republicans are Donald Trump.
189
Nobody can argue against that And so our party needs to tie these things together
190
Every single person with an art of their name should be tied to Donald Trump.
191
They should be tied data centers They should be tied to the files They should be tied to the war
192
and that's gonna tie him down and they're gonna lose
193
and that's beautiful to me and that's that's That's a career ending for Mike Johnson.
194
So we are going to keep on calling it out on this show.
195

196
If you stuck around at the end, drop a blue heart in the comments.
197
Keep on fighting, y'all.
198
Don't let them silence you.
199
And until next time, I'll see you soon.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
