Host (Possibly Will)
Hey everybody. Welcome back. It's Maga Monday. I, you know, how are you feeling about this? We're doing this for folks who are just tuning in. It's meanwhile summer. We're doing this thing 10am Monday, going live, recapping some of the more wild things that happened, some more incendiary things that happened on the Internet over the weekend. How do you feel so far? This is our third week doing this. Are you enjoying this?
- [01:24]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah. You know, people should feel free to drop a comment themselves. But for me, you know, we were talking about what day we should do this. Should be Maga Tuesday, Maga Monday, Terrible Tuesday, whatever. And I feel like Monday is really hitting several times over this weekend. I was just rubbing my hands with glee. Gosh, I can't believe we get to talk about this on Maga Monday.
- [01:45]
Host (Possibly Will)
I'm glad you feel that way. I feel like it's kind of a very jarring way to start the work week. You like, you wake up and it's a cold plunge. Yeah, it's. It's the cold. It is kind of like a cold plunge. So for the folks watching, we're going to touch on a number of rather insane topics this week, but my favorite is going to be Laura Loomer in India. She went to the India Today Conclave Conference in New Delhi. It didn't go well. We're going to get to get to that in a second. We're also going to be talking about Tucker Carlson stressing that he may or may not have been monitored by the CIA. People are not denying it. Some reporting suggesting it might not be true. We're going to be getting to Megyn Kelly saying Mark Levin has a micro penis. This was a constant source of amusement for me this weekend. Do we have another one? I forget if we had another one. Will. There was.
- [02:38]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I think that's, I think that's what we have. I mean, yeah, well, but I obviously Trump kind of weighed in on the micropenis debate himself, so sort of late in the game, so that's good too.
- [02:47]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, Trump. Well, he sort of half heartedly don'.
- [02:50]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Talk about the micropenis.
- [02:51]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, he didn't say micropenis, did he? No, he. But he did, he did weigh in, in support of Levin. And so I, Megan Kelly, got really upset about that or at least took it as to be indication that Mark went to Trump to complain about everything that was going on.
- [03:06]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
So.
- [03:06]
Host (Possibly Will)
Okay, we got a lot to talk to. I'm just making. Oh, no, we have one more thing. I forgot about it. New Gingrich.
- [03:11]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yes, it's a good point.
- [03:14]
Host (Possibly Will)
New Gingrich has an insane. New Gingrich may have been duped by. I think he definitely was duped by someone who was just being a satirical poster substack talking about nuking some, I don't know, straight through the Middle east to get around the straight of Hermuz blockade. We'll get all to that. But first. But first. But first, we got to talk about Loomer. All right, set it up for us. Well, what is she doing there?
- [03:37]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Sure. So Laura Loomer, and this is important to remember, she's a Trump advisor, extreme anti Muslim figure. And also I think she's just kind of racist in general to a lot of people, including Indians, Hindus, all kinds of people who live in India. And so she goes to India today. I can't claim to be an expert on the politics of India, but this appears to be a pretty straightforward sort of newspaper kind of summit. She goes there, I think, because Indian people, Indians online, there's a very vocal segment that support Israel. She's very pro Israel. And I think there are some of kind of these Hindu nationalists who see a common cause against Muslims between people like Bloomer in Israel, in India. And so she goes there. Unfortunately, she appears to have forgotten that she has a history of insane remarks attacking Indian people. They have not forgotten. She attempted to delete some of them right before the junket. And the one other thing I would add here about her personal motivation is Laura recently got engaged to what she describes as a lovely young man in some depositions, a guy who's outside of politics, but she brought him and I think she says she's going to the Taj Mahal. I think this was sort of, I'm going to take a trip with my fiance, get some beautiful trips in front of this monument to love, obviously built by a Muslim. So there's some irony there, but it all kind of blows up in her face.
- [04:57]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, it seems like she was getting a junket. Honestly, I paid for junket to go to India to like, basically do a pre moon. And so she did take a picture in front of Taj Mahal. It's online if people want to see about it. I'm going to get to the place, the clip where it blows up in her face, because it's delicious. But I think people are kind of losing some sort of news here. So I, I, I frantically tried to watch all 48 minutes and 54 seconds of this conference, which Loomer herself posted because she, she was getting killed in the comments. And so she's like, well, it's all taken out of context. Here's the full comments, you know, and if you just listen to it, and I did on 2.0 speed for a while, I didn't make it through, but whatever, I can't do it all. Like, the first seven minutes or so are. If you just saw it and listened to it, you'd be like, this is totally batshit crazy. So she's asked about her proximity and relationship to Donald Trump, and she's like, well, we talk on the phone a fair bit. And the hosts are like, well, what do you mean by a fair bit? And she says she spoke to Trump on the phone an hour before she took the stage that Donald Trump wished everyone well and that he might visit India soon. Then they said, well, wait a second, how often are you really speaking to him? She said she spoke to him three times in the past week. Three times. The President is, we're at war. Like, there's a lot going on.
- [06:26]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Do you believe her? I believe her. I believe her. I mean, I think the administration's actions recently certainly suggest that Trump is taking calls from people like Loomer. I mean, and we also know that, you know, Trump's phone is pretty wide open. You know, there's been some reporting over the weekend that pretty much anyone with the number can call him. And then, you know, Semaphore had an article that was sort of like, the joke's on you journalist, if you call him because Trump doesn't respect you. And it's like, well, I'm sorry, aren't the Straits of Hormuz still blockaded? But anyways, keeping the focus on humor. I mean, it's interesting. On one hand, I do think we're gonna have some schadenfreude here. We're delight in Laura kind of coming face to face with some people she's whipped up hate against. On the other hand, it's striking that this is someone who chained herself to Twitter headquarters 10 years ago, and now she's seen as sort of a global representative of the White House.
- [07:12]
Host (Possibly Will)
It's really wild, but that's not even the extent of, like, the news she broke. So, yeah, she talked to him three times the past week. Then she goes about saying, you know, she kind of hints it's about whether she would serve in the administration. She goes, you know, it'd be an honor to serve in the administration. But then she does this issue. She says she's being blocked from serving by people internally, which I think we've reported. But then she does this little thing that I couldn't help but, like, delight over. She goes, you know, it'd be an honor to serve the administration. I'm paraphrasing here. She's like, for now, Caroline Levitt's doing a really good job. For now, she wants to be press secretary.
- [07:48]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Well, you know, in her lawsuit against Bill Maher, it came out that she, you know, kind of sees herself as a future press secretary. And importantly, she was like, and then you can cash in, you can go work at a think tank, you can write a book, you know, and Bill Maher costs me all of this. But, I mean, she definitely sees this, I think, kind of a key White House role as part of her future.
- [08:07]
Host (Possibly Will)
Right? And then she wasn't even done. Then she keeps going. She says, you know, currently. She says, currently, she's investigating what she said, a quote, lot of people in the administration. She is investigating a lot of people in the administration for sympathies to radical Islam. So these investigations are ongoing of the current administration. And then she said, at one point, she said she. They asked her about, you know, Trump meeting with these Middle east leaders in the Oval Office. And she goes, I would prefer not to see Islamic leaders meeting in the Oval Office. She just outright says it. So those were. That was in the first 10 minutes, which was kind of crazy to me. A lot of news there. And then it got contentious. So let's play. Let's Play the. Let's play the clip at this point call center.
- [08:56]
Indian Conference Host or Moderator
You then went on to say, our country was built by white Europeans, not third world invaders from India. I think you should do more than just express regret. From what I can see, you're brazenly racist and Islamophobic. And I'm sorry to say that we have atiti devo bhava in this country where we welcome all. But your comments smack of anti Indianism. Worse still, Islamophobia and even worse racism, which.
- [09:21]
Laura Loomer
And a phobia, sir, is defined as an irrational fear. And it is not irrational to fear an ideology that explicitly calls for the killing of non Muslims. And so, respectfully, you know, I came to India to. To. To. To speak to people about how I am using my voice and using my platform and using my influence in America to speak out about this threat that. That really. No. Wants to eradicate you. Right. Everybody who is not a Muslim should really honestly be fearful of this ideology that explicitly calls for their removal from the planet, their eradication. And so if you have a sense of survival, I think that. I think that it's perfectly normal to be fearful of Islam.
- [10:06]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
This is also, like. I mean, she's making. Those are some very incendiary remarks to make in India. I mean, there's obviously like a ton of history of the anti Muslim riots there and everything.
- [10:13]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah.
- [10:13]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I mean, that is crazy. Just be like, yeah, they're out to kill us. I mean, that's like. Like, I don't think, like the modi. You know, this kind of Hindu nationalism. I don't think they would say that quite explicitly.
- [10:23]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, that was actually somewhat into the remarks. The host started off, and they were sort of like, well, we need to address the elephant in the room. You've erased all these tweets. What do you say? And Loomer was like, I don't come from a place of hate. I come from a place of love. It's like, I've read the tweets, Laura. They're not great. What did you make of her of the reception there?
- [10:48]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Well, yeah, I mean, I guess we should underline some of the tweets she's made in the past. I mean, not just ones attacking.
- [10:52]
Host (Possibly Will)
Do you want to talk about them?
- [10:53]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
They're pretty awful. I mean, they're crazy. Yeah. So, you know, over the past, like, two years or so, there's been a rising kind of tide in the American right of bigotry against Indian people and Indian Americans. And I think Laura was sort of trying to ride that. And so she would say, for example, this is crazy. She got in some fight about, like, the level of civilization in India. And she said, you know, oh, I guess you do have running water. It's just coming out of your asses. I mean, that is crazy. And, you know, again, I mean, I would say there's like a very vocal segment of Indian people online who are, like, extremely nationalistic and, like, sort of any offense sort of will get you in trouble, much less something this explicit. So it's pretty crazy that she went to India.
- [11:33]
Host (Possibly Will)
And it's like, it has nothing to do with Muslims or Islam. That's just Indian people are dirty and they shit, basically.
- [11:42]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I mean, she clearly, I think, thought that she was going to be treated as this big thought leader. And then everyone's like, boo. You know, you're this hate face. And she's like, you know what? Can I still go to the Taj Mahal?
- [11:56]
Host (Possibly Will)
What did she say about Usha Vance? I forget.
- [11:59]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Oh, yeah. So famously right. So she. Oh, no, she said this about Kamala Harris. She said that if. If Kamala Harris, she was, you know, half Indian, if she was elected, the White House would smell like curry. And so all the calls would be
- [12:12]
Host (Possibly Will)
handled by a call center.
- [12:13]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, exactly. And so the moderator brought this up and Laura kind of, you know, I think what she said was, this is truly crazy. She said, well, I was actually making a point that Kamala was downplaying her Indian heritage and sort of posing as this DEI hire. And in fact, I was defending India in that moment.
- [12:33]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, it's always up is down, black is white with these people. Right. So again, in my sleuthing this morning, I was just going through all the tweets and including rumors, and she was like, look, I'm just here because I don't like H1BVs, right? So H1B visas are for high skilled workers. You can bring them in from overseas. They can work for a period of time in some of these stem cell industries. Stem cells? Stem industries. And she's like, I'm not apologizing for not wanting to do the H1B to get to reform. H1B visas. You know, these are U.S. jobs. They should be for American citizens. They shouldn't be prioritized for people from India. And in this tweet, she basically says, if you want the stereotypes to stop Indian people, you should get on board with reforming H1BS. It's like, wait a second. If. Why are we. So they have to be subjected to These horrific, heinous stereotypes. Because H1B, you don't like the way the H1B system works. It doesn't make any sense. But in her world. Yeah, go ahead.
- [13:37]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, I. I had to send those rude tweets, you know, you took our job board with me.
- [13:43]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yes, but up is down and black is white. They are responsible for this. Anything else before we move on?
- [13:50]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Because, yeah, I guess what I would just say here is, I think sort of the comedy here is like, it's always funny when these people who kind of these right wing media figures who spew hate and conspiracy theories online whenever they have to face consequences, they're sort of come face to face with a normal person. And so here someone's just like, well, I don't know, you've been saying all this stuff about Indian people and now you're here, like, what's up with that? And she's like, oh, gosh, you know, whether it's like sometimes in the courtroom or whatever. So. So I certainly got a kick out of that.
- [14:17]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, that's true. That is constantly true. Where it's much easier to be a keyboard warrior than you have to face up. Although congrats to her. She's getting married. She got a nice trip out of it. I'm sure she got paid healthy for this. I'm sure the Taj Mahal was lovely. You know, she got some pictures to put up online. So congrats to Laura. And we're waiting to see if she's the next White House press secretary.

Host (Possibly Will)
All right, Tucker, this one came out of nowhere to me, although I saw some reporting on it and it's probably not true, you know, judging by the actual reporting. But set us up here. So he go, this is a short video for Tucker was like five minute long video, but he just makes some incendiary accusations that what, the CIA has been monitoring him?
- [15:44]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, he popped this online with sort of a funny caption that was essentially like that feel when you find out the CIA has been reading your text messages. And he says, you know, I've heard here, I guess we could play it, right?
- [15:57]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, let's play it and then we can do. Afterwards, we'll talk about it. Let's play. It's only 20.
- [16:01]
Tucker Carlson
So the other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me. A crime report, the Department of Justice, on the basis of a supposed crime I committed. What's that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war, they read my texts. So the crime under consideration, apparently, would be the Foreign Agent act or something like that. Acting as an agent of a foreign power.
- [16:30]
Host (Possibly Will)
I'm sorry, but now I can't help but think of the SNL caricature. Why is that?
- [16:35]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
What's going on here? What are we doing?
- [16:37]
Host (Possibly Will)
What are we doing?
- [16:39]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
You know, I. I will note Tucker kind of put on a more formal, like the, Like a. The. The white. The white button down rather than the flannel or the hunting gear. Yeah.
- [16:48]
Host (Possibly Will)
When you're fucking getting screwed by the CIA, you dress up. Absolutely.
- [16:52]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
So. So, yeah. So I mean, to sum it up here, Tucker is basically saying that he was, quote, talking to people in Iran before the war. And I think we can assume that the CIA in this story kind of picked this up through some kind of wiretap or was somehow monitoring people in Iran or Iranian agents.
- [17:06]
Host (Possibly Will)
We assume there's no proof. Right, right, right.
- [17:09]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I mean, this is kind of within Tucker's story. And so then he's claiming that the CIA is going to make a criminal referral to the DOJ and say, hey, we think Tucker violated foreign agent rules. What do you make of this? Do you think this is true?
- [17:25]
Host (Possibly Will)
What? I maybe. I don't know. Like, I would like to see some evidence or proof other than, like, Tucker's brain working through this. Is it a violation of some sort of Farah doctrine? Right, like that you have to register when you're representing foreign interest. Perhaps, but that's like half the Trump administration or associates of the Trump administration. Right. Like, they're all basically talking to foreign leaders. Would they do this to fuck with Carlson? Because he is such a critic of Trump right now and a critic of the war with Iran. I wouldn't put it past the administration to do shit like this, but it takes more than just being like, yeah, The CIA is investigating me. First of all, I'm not even sure the CIA would be part of the investigation. Right. It would be the FBI or the DOJ or someone who handles those investigations. Traditionally, the CIA may be monitoring him. Right. Like if you were. If you knew, for instance, UCA that top Iranian officials or people who had influence in the Iranian regime were talking to a journalist, like, I wouldn't be shocked if they were trying to monitor and get some sense of what they were saying. That wouldn't surprise me at all. I just find it very hard to believe that they're gonna charge Tucker Carlson with some sort of Farah violation, having basically demolished the fair office and done no fair registration violation investigations at all since they started. It would be really crazy.
- [18:49]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, I mean, obviously Farah was something that a lot of Trump associates in the first Trump term ran across. I mean, Tom Barrack, who had a Farah issue, I believe, is now the ambassador to Turkey. I mean, he's definitely handed out some pardons, some commutations on this issue. So it would be kind of funny if Tucker was the only guy to face.
- [19:05]
Host (Possibly Will)
Oh, my God, could you imagine? That would be wild. There would be. There would be an absolute uproar.
- [19:11]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Right.
- [19:11]
Host (Possibly Will)
I mean, I saw this in reaction.
- [19:12]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Well, there would literally be a sort of, I would say, final break between the sort of America first isolationist wing and the sort of now loomer controlled Trump administration in terms of sort of Middle east intervention.
- [19:26]
Host (Possibly Will)
What is it? What's going on here? What is the relationship between Tucker and, like, what's the actual relationship between Tucker and the White House? Because you see this reporting, you know, where it's like, well, they kind of look at. They look like they look at him as sort of this kind of clowny figure. But then you see people who, who say Trump wants to keep him in his orbit or at least not make him too angry. Obviously, he talks to Trump fairly regularly, gets meetings with the guy, but I can't get a good read on this.
- [19:58]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, I wrote about this a few weeks ago is sort of like, why does Tucker keep getting to go to the White House when he out duping Mike Huckabee and things like this. I mean, I think on one hand, I mean, you know, in his telling, he claimed, oh, I had to go to the White House to try to avert this war in Iran. Now there's sort of a fantasy version of this that's being spun by a lot of kind of more pro Israel leading people in the Wake of this Iran, the CIA allegation, they're claiming, you know, Trump, he, you know, this is Inspector Trump at it again. The detective, he was bringing Tucker into the White House, feeding him with bogus lines. We're not gonna attack Iran. Then watching Tucker send that back to the mullahs or, excuse me, the Ayatollahs, then they'll double leak. We got you, Tucker. And so that's why the Ayatollah didn't know that the war was coming, because he said, my buddy Tucker told me that is the theory that is being propagated. I don't think it's true. It's a bit advanced for Trump, I think. But, you know, it is interesting, I think. I don't know. I mean, I'm just kind of fascinated by the idea at all. I mean, Tucker has a lot of allegations of foreign influence floating out there. I mean, he's very close with Qatar. They don't call him Tucker Guitar Olson for nothing. I mean, he kind of, he goes to this conference in Qatar, says, I'm buying a home here. Oh, and by the way, the next episode of my show is about how we should switch our alliance, ditch Israel and support Qatar. Are. It makes you wonder. And so I don't know if that's, if that's a real thing out there. I mean, I haven't seen anything like legally proving it, but I do think, you know, I feel like there's probably a shred of truth to this idea. I don't know if it's a CIA investigation or whatever, but. But I could imagine that, you know, they've kind of run across his text messages or something.
- [21:35]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, again, I. That wouldn't shock me. That wouldn't shock me. What would shock me is Trump deciding he's going to play three dimensional chess here and do a double bank shot and feed some, you know, erroneous info through Tucker. Just check it out to see if Tucker's leaking or something. That, that seems too sophisticated for old Donny boy. Let's pull up Marc Puto's reporting on this because we love Mark, Old friend of the site, old member of the site, online charter, but Tucker Carlson looked like quite a story. He was being spied on by the CIA and knowing that Trump treated him as a useful idiot by feeding him disinfo that fooled the Iranians about the looming February 20th attack, the Choppa Min officials say it's bullshit. Yeah, I think Mark's probably right. Marcus, straight shooter on this. Mark knows the people there.
- [22:18]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, but I mean, Look, I think we should focus on, I mean, Mark is. He later says, you know, that there isn't a CIA investigation. But I think there are potentially some loopholes here. I mean, Mark is that Mark is sort of refuting what we described as sort of like the undercover Trump story, which, which I don't think is really believable at all. But is there a CIA referral? You know, he says there's not a CIA investigation.
- [22:38]
Host (Possibly Will)
Well, there's a difference between investigation and like, referral or monitoring. Right. Like, yes, Tucker made it seem like he was about to be, you know, indicted. And I don't know if that's true, but it doesn't mean he's not being monitored.
- [22:51]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
What a circus that would be. I mean, I feel like in this, you know, the past decade, the craziest thing that could happen usually does happen. And so in that way. Oh, yeah, I give me an example. Trump getting elected president. You know, there's a lot. And so I think that, you know, this is one to watch. And if there was a cow shee market on this, I would bet on it.
- [23:14]
Host (Possibly Will)
Actually, that's a smart idea for the folks backstage. See if there's any cowshe bets currently on Tucker getting indicted.
- [23:21]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I want Tucker in the who scowl by end of 2026.
- [23:25]
Host (Possibly Will)
Okay, we're going to try to get those, and if we get the numbers, we will absolutely bring them to you. All right, switching topics here because, well, I want to say. No, I'm not going to say we're going to talk about micro penises. Mark Levin, So what? Every week it's like Megyn Kelly's got another feud going on and she's going at. She's got like five or at least three fronts and she's just firing bazookas on all of them. We got Ben Shapiro on one, you got Mark Levin on another. There's a third who I'm missing. But she's just going at it. And I mean, some of it obviously has to do with what's going on in Iran. Some of it's just them calling her out for basically not calling Candace Owens out. But what, what? I couldn't even figure out why she was going at it with Mark Levin this weekend.
- [24:16]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah. So, I mean, you know, we talked about this with the trio last week, some of these Megyn Kelly feuds.
- [24:21]
Host (Possibly Will)
But I think that was when she was going to Ben Shapiro.

And she's also had Piers Morgan's honor. Oh, yeah, don't go after Piers. Leave him alone.
- [24:31]
Host (Possibly Will)
He called Pierce the Jerry Springer of politics. And that was just too much. Okay.

And so basically like at the, the top level or sort of the facade is this feud is about, it is about Israel and, you know, war and Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are very pro attack on Iran. But I think at its heart, the reason Megyn Kelly is finding herself in so many of these feuds is because I think people who were more kind of traditional right wing media figures like Mark Levin, you know, talk radio host, Fox News host Ben Shapiro, kind of a very mainline establishment Republican, they're shocked at what's happened to Megyn Kelly. And I think what's going on is that they're finding that she's aligning herself much more with the like ostensibly dovish, but also kind of conspiracy theory minded, anti Israel, sometimes anti Semitic figures. Yeah. Like Tucker, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens. And so she's kind of trying to triangulate herself and they're looking at her and sort of like you were once one of the pillars holding up the last remaining bits of sanity in the Republican Party and now you're backing out and not helping us anymore. And so that's really what I think is at the heart of the feuds and why so much of it focuses on her.
- [25:40]
Host (Possibly Will)
Well, you call it triangulation, but I think it's different than that. I think it's just like sheer, not desperation, but she's just being cynical about it. I mean, she's looking for clicks and views and we're talking about her. Right. Like, we've been talking about it for a week now. So congrats, you did it. But it's like she, you know, I don't think they, my sense is they don't think she believes the stuff she's saying and they were just like shocked by it. Let's pull up the micropenis tweet that she put up. In the meantime, let's get the Trump, the Trump bleed ready from this morning where he defends Mark Levin. All right, here it is. I'll read it. I'll do it. This is, this is why they pay me the money. Micropenis Mark. Mark Levinsho thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I've had arrested. He doesn't like it when women like me fight back because of his micro penis.
- [26:43]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
This is a, this is a new tone, even for her.
- [26:47]
Host (Possibly Will)
I mean, she's trying to be Trump, right?
- [26:49]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yes. No, you're right. On, I mean, for what it's worth, a lot of times with some of these insults people have, you know, oh, Nick Fuentes is gay or whatever. You know, I know the origins of it. I can say, well, one time he hung out with this guy named Catboy and whatever.
- [27:02]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah.
- [27:03]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
But in this case, this one really kind of comes out of nowhere. I don't know if she used kind of like an insult generator or, you know, whatever. As far as we've. We've never heard about Mark Levin's hog before. And I think it's. It's really hasn't been an issue until she brought it up. That was a nicer term that she used.
- [27:22]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yes. Very professional. Just for the record, and I have to say this because I don't want us to get sued or anything or to be legally liable. There is. There is no evidence that Mark Levin does or does not have a micropenis. It's just. And I don't want to look for the evidence either. I just stating the extent of our reporting on this.
- [27:45]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I think she really escalated out here.
- [27:47]
Host (Possibly Will)
Oh, yeah. What gave that away? Did Levin respond? I mean, obviously, it looks like he went to Trump to complain because. And we'll hopefully get that in a second. Trump leap. But did he respond to her?
- [27:59]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah, I mean, he kind of just sort of, you know, had some more verbal jousting with her. He didn't start, you know, making it about her appearance or anything like that, or, you know, I feel like she was really. She was really going for it here. And, you know. Okay. And so then, you know, Mark Levin complains to Daddy Trump and he sort of weighs in to defend Mark.
- [28:19]
Host (Possibly Will)
I think we have it available. I mean, this is. You can't even read it because there's so many words. It's so small, the font in the print, but it just says, Mark Levin, a truly great American patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less intellectual. I can't even read it. Capability and love for our country. Marcus. Tough, strong and brilliant. Hence the nickname the Great One. I. You know, let's pause for a second on the Great One. It's so ridiculous. Did he give himself that name or is that.
- [28:49]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
No, I think, I think either Rush Limbaugh, Trump here says Sean had he came up with it, it was either Rush or Sean who did. Yeah, we should start handing out nicknames.
- [28:58]
Host (Possibly Will)
Mark would often do Sean's show speaking as a lawyer. And Sean realized then, as did others, that he was special. I can't believe they talked to each other. Like this Mark Levin is not looking to do television, radio, or anything else. But he was drafted by very smart people who understood that there are a few like him. He is a true conservative and intellect. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, this just goes on and on and on. We don't need to keep reading.
- [29:22]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Wait. There's a key part where he says, you know, when other. When you hear others attack Mark, remember they are jealous and angry human being whose sway is less than the public understands. Okay, great. So I think we got what we needed there. So basically, Trump doesn't name it.
- [29:35]
Host (Possibly Will)
He does not name Megyn Kelly in that.
- [29:37]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
He doesn't. But he's saying, you know, in the same way that he said, I think Tucker is not MAGA anymore right after the war started. Now he's saying, you know, hey. He's kind of, you know, brushing her back. He's saying, hey, Megan, watch out. So I think, you know, this has been interpreted. You know, it's kind of funny because Mark Levin is a very abrasive personality. And if you were trying to sell the broader right on, you know, supporting someone, Trump saying, you're either with Mark Levin or you're against me is kind of a big ask. And so I think this has been interpreted by more America first people as really Trump breaking with them and really embracing sort of the neocon side of the right.
- [30:13]
Host (Possibly Will)
Well, he's definitely done that. I mean, this whole couple.
- [30:16]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
He went to war, right?
- [30:17]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah. I mean, like, the last couple weeks has been him just sort of saying screw it. And like, you have Lindsey Graham out there kind of salivating at how great it is. He's like, Lindsey Graham is, like, running the show, and it's got to be disheartening for. Well, we've talked about this ad nauseam. I'm just surprised he didn't name Kelly directly there. Why not? Like, why not just go after her?
- [30:38]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
I mean, maybe he recognizes, you know, from one person who loves attention to another, you know, maybe he doesn't want to sort of, you know, put her on blast in a way that's gonna.
- [30:47]
Host (Possibly Will)
Game respects the game, I guess. All right, we gotta get to this last one. Newt. Truly a remarkable moment for Newt Gingrich, people. I guess the audiences were so far removed from him being speaker that it's worth talking about Newt for a second. Obviously, Newt was the speaker of the house in the mid-90s during the Clinton era. He brought Republicans back into power in the House after many decades in which they were not in control of the House, he fancied himself intellect of the right, and he put together the Contract with America. And since he has left office in some disgrace, he's kind of continued this idea that he's just a big thinker, right? And he's had different incarnations. Like he was like, teaming up with Nancy Pelosi to combat climate change at one point, and then he became like more of a Trumper. And, you know, nowadays he just sort of. His wife is an ambassador and he's just. They often post pictures of them kind of out and about selfies and just weird stuff. But every now and then he'll. He'll post something truly extraordinary to remind you that he's a big thought guy. And this happened over the weekend where he posts. If we can pull it up, this. Instead of fighting over a 21 mile wide bottleneck forever, he's speaking here, the straight of Hermuse where oil stopped, more or less. We cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations, and you've got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. Well, look, there's a lot of problems that are obviously associated with detonating a few thermonuclear weapons. One of which is that the proposed article that he's referencing here is satire. It's an open letter with the disclaimer that its views, quote, do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells. Okay, Newton, and read to the bottom of the substack piece. Just riff on this. What are you. Are you blown away?
- [32:53]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah. I mean, okay, so it's interesting. I mean, it's definitely outside the box thinking. I mean, I think that on one hand, right, it is a bit appealing. You know, it's kind of like kids who like, you know, you dig some, dig on the beach and create a new canal or whatever. I do think on one hand, it might resolve the Strait of Hormuz issue. On the other, unfortunately, we've now irradiated one of the world's main sources of oil, the entire Middle east region. And so I think that could be an issue. I also don't know how Oman would feel about having their entire country blown apart.
- [33:26]
Host (Possibly Will)
No, you got to do this. You got to do the thermonuclear explosions very discreetly in a straight line, maybe dig a little bit underground and then do a big boom. But I do like your imagery of that kid. You know, there's always Instagram videos of like a bunch of kids on the beach. That are like, create, you know, digging some hole between the actual ocean and some sort of, like, I don't know, stream that's off in the distance, and then suddenly they open it up and, oh, like we've just emptied all the water into the ocean. That's. I think Newt's sort of going for that. Right.
- [33:56]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
You know, I, I just love this image that, like, the Gulf countries, which already are so annoyed with this war and being terrorized and caught in the middle, and then Trump would just say, look, we are going to need to use nukes on your. Your country at this point. Because. Because I have a. I have the midterms coming up, so we just really got to speed this along.
- [34:12]
Host (Possibly Will)
Yeah, we got to speed this up. How would this. So you would. I'm just trying to figure this out. You would detonate a couple nukes and then you would. The oil would just kind of flow or you'd have to still build some. You have to build some. Build some pipes, right? Like, you can't just let the oil flow, right?
- [34:31]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Well, no, but it's the water you're opening up. So, like the.
- [34:34]
Host (Possibly Will)
Oh, it's the water.
- [34:36]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
And then the ships can go through.
- [34:37]
Host (Possibly Will)
Gotcha.
- [34:38]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Now, one more thought I had on this.
- [34:39]
Host (Possibly Will)
What would you do with the radioactive, you know, waste.
- [34:43]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Well, that part comes later. Like, I, I think. Well, the thing. The other brief thing to consider here is if you're blowing up the ground, you're shooting all of this dirt into the air, and you're essentially redoing what killed the dinosaurs, you're gonna block out the sun. So I really hope Newt is one person who doesn't have Trump's phone number and can't pass this line along.
- [35:04]
Host (Possibly Will)
Now, I'll say this about Newt. He seems to be the type of person who posts something and then just signs off and doesn't check to see if what he did was stupid, because it's still up there, even though there's good reader context underneath, noting that you have to have brain cells to. Rights to believe this. And he's just gonna let it ride. I think he's not even gonna issue correction. Not gonna, you know, you know, maybe I'm looking at some of the replies and they're so good. Oh, man, it's really. Watch this stuff. I, I don't know. I don't know. I hope, like you, I, I hope Trump doesn't, like, look at that and
- [35:40]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
say, I have one brief thing to add here. You mentioned Calista and Newt's pictures, but famously Kalista Will face tune herself to 18. She looks so young, and she leaves Newt hanging, and so he looks so haggard in comparison. And so maybe that's what's driving this anger, this. This. This desire to blow up the world.
- [36:00]
Host (Possibly Will)
Oh, man, this was a rich weekend. There's a lot of good stuff out there. I feel like we'd probably left something on the chopping block, but I'm done.
- [36:10]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Hey, that's what false Flags for. We'll get into it.
- [36:12]
Host (Possibly Will)
Okay? Everyone should subscribe to Will's False Flag newsletter. It's a written version of this type of conversation, but with actual reporting. The one he did last week still cracks me up if you haven't seen the trio video on this. Jake Lang falling for To Catch a Predator sting and then his organization. Oh, yeah, I should ask you about that. So the organization, Jake Lang's organization, put out a weird video apparently filmed in a church basement where they're like, we don't associate with Jake Lang anymore for now. Has there been any follow up? Is he back in the.
- [36:44]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
No, I think he's laying low for the moment. You know, things are the. I will say, getting busted by sort of a Chris Hansen wannabe in a. In a sting, you know, tends to, you know, at least for the week. He's gonna. He's gonna kind of call a halt to the demonstrations.
- [36:58]
Host (Possibly Will)
It could humble you. It can humble you for a weekend.
- [37:00]
Co-host (Possibly Jake or a Political Commentator)
Yeah.
- [37:01]
Host (Possibly Will)
All right, well, keep. Keep us posted on that. Everyone should subscribe to False Flag and Bulwark, where you can get great stuff like this. You all should subscribe to our YouTube feed to get alerted to and watch great conversations like this. We do this weekly, folks. It's not a burden. It's a gift, and we want to share with you, Will.
