Foreign. You guys. The Republicans are terrified of American citizens. We see it with ice. We see it with all the polling. Republicans have shut down the government. They know that their big beautiful bill and their immigration policies are wildly unpopular. And this Snow Kings rally coming up on October 18th is terrifying them. I mean, they are flipping out. Watch this clip first.

But again, the no Kings protest. Maria, really frustrating. I mean, this is part of Antifa paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it? But yeah, Democrats want to wait for a big rally of a no Kings protest when the bottom line is who's running the show in the Senate. Chuck Schumer's not running the show. The.
Progressive Political Commentator
No, the minority leader is Chuck Schumer, the majority leader. Stop. I can't. Just lies, lies, lies. But the overarching theme of this interview is to terrify people about the no Kings rally. We know Stephen Miller is running policy at the White House because Trump doesn't give a shit. We also know that he does not want freedom of speech or freedom of the press and particularly freedom of assembly, because when people peacefully protest, the leaders have to listen. So this guy, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is a total dipshit of the highest order, has no idea what he's doing. He's on there saying antifa is funding the no Kings rally because these Republicans cannot imagine even for one single solitary second that somebody would want to love their country enough to go out for no money and protest and demand a constitution, not a king. They can't wrap their head around it. They don't understand it because everything that a Republican does from Donald Trump, who is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, that whole cabinet committing crime after crime every day. In my opinion, he doesn't understand that you don't have to be paid to have a conviction. You don't have to be paid to feel a moral responsibility to other human beings. It's so foreign to them. It's unbelievable. And then we've got Secretary Scott Bessant, who is funding the whole Argentinian government because one of his bros is A billionaire and he's losing his ass. This is what he has to say about the no Kings rally coming up on October 18th. Make sure you're there.

In fact, they are waiting for this no Kings protest. You know, no Kings means no paychecks. No paychecks and no government. And Maria, I think the dirty secret here for why this has dragged on for so long is the Democratic friends in the mainstream media have been downplaying this shutdown and this is getting serious. It's starting to affect the real economy. It's starting to affect people's lives.
Progressive Political Commentator
Okay, Scott, that's enough. Scott. The Republicans control the Senate, the US House of Representatives, and the White House. They have the power, but they can't do it because their legislation is wildly unpopular with Democrats and even some Republicans who have the balls to stand up for people's health care. The lies are bullshit. What we're saying is 15 million Americans should not be cut off of their health care. But here's the thing. When he says no Kings means no paycheck. So here's my question. So the only way for federal employees to go back to work and get a paycheck is if Donald Trump becomes a king. Is that what he means? Or does he mean people that protest and are seen protesting that also work for the federal government will not be paid? So either one of those is wildly inappropriate. But which one does he mean? I don't know. I don't think he knows because I think it's lips on Donald Trump's ass do his bidding. Nobody gives a shit. And I just want everybody to know that one of the driving forces behind this shutdown is the Epstein files and Project 2025 so that they can fire the federal workforce. But this whole Antifa thing, people are being paid. We're getting to the deep dark bottom of who's being paid. We know how incompetent Cash Patel is. We know that he's not even a good podcaster, much less a director of the FBI. So we have Glenn Beck, who's a Republican mouthpiece. He puts this video on yesterday. I'm not going to make anybody listen to his voice, but he says the FBI showed up to my house to discuss my TV show exposing an tifa's network. If you are a member of Antifa or providing material or financial support for Antifa, I might be a little concerned because the FBI and this is all caps. Dead ass is serious about investigating you. Okay, a couple things we need to remind everybody. Antifa is not real. It is not an organization. You don't sign up and get a membership card. Antifa means I am anti fascist. I do not believe that the United States of America should be ruled by a king, a dictator, a tyrant, an autocrat, whatever you want to call it. World War II and World War I soldiers were antifa because they were fighting against fascism. Donald Trump and his administration are fascists. These people are now saying anybody that dissents is a fascist. Anybody who dissents is a domestic terrorist. That's bullshit. If you want to want a constitutional republic and you believe in democracy, you're antifascist. There is no organization. Believe me, I'd be in it. I would have signed up already. You don't have to pay me to feel that way. You don't have to pay me to believe that every single person should have due process and constitutional rights. It's unbelievable what liars and nuts they are. But it just goes to show you how scared of dissent they are, how scared they are of the people. Which goes back to military in US cities that are blue because the midterm elections, they know it will be a blue tsunami. I hope. I want to take a minute and thank our sponsor Simplisafe because it is so important to protect your family and your home, your pets and all of your valuables. And that is why I have Simplisafe. Can a home security system really call itself security if it only responds once someone is already inside the house? There's now a way you can actually stop someone from entering your home. Traditional security systems only react and take action once someone has already broken in. Simplisafe stops crime before it even starts by confronting potential threats the moment it they appear. AI powered cameras detect threats while intruders are outside your home and alert real security agents. This is a game changer. The agents take action while the intruder is still outside. That's so important. Right now our listeners can save 50% off on SimpliSafe home security system at simplisafe.com I hip that's simplisafe.com ihip and that is 50% off a home security system simplisafe.com ihop and then we have the complete and total failure of Fox News. Nobody's surprised by it. But the overt lies and hypocrisy that they continue to spin on Fox News is jaw dropping. Particularly after they had to pay almost $1 billion for lying on TV. And I play this clip. I want to everybody to notice the Chiron on Fox News because they're big mad that George Stephanopoulos would not allow J.D. vance to continuing to evade the question about Tom Homan and to continue to lie. They're mad about it because they want him to be able to lie. Here we go.
Guest or Interviewee
Your point. I still don't know what happened with the home and money if you've got it, if you pay taxes on it. But that's. I don't happen. That doesn't bother me at all. What I'm bothered by is when politicians believe they can tell reporters what they're going to answer and what they're not going to answer. Katie Porter was wrong and Vice President Vance, who's a friend, he was wrong in that interview.
Progressive Political Commentator
But Katie Porter walked out of the interview. Greg Quid pro quo, Clarice.
Moderate Political Analyst
I would say that you can't compare the Porter and Vance one because of the political affiliations. Vance is Republican and it's different.
Progressive Political Commentator
Okay. Vance is a Republican and it's different. Okay. This is a continuing pattern of Republicans think they are above the law. The rules that apply to them do. Nobody else gets that kind of special treatment. If you dissent against the Republican Party, they will go to hell and back to destroy you. But when somebody in their party does it, it's different because they're Republicans. It just shows the entitlement that they have and the ability to dehumanize people. But. Okay, sorry, Kylie, put that back up. I wanted to reach the Chiron and I didn't. The Chiron says JD Vance Roast ABC News host during fiery interview. Okay. Stephanopoulos slammed. That's the headline. Here's the deal. J.D. vance was a jet stream of. And George Stephano said, no more. I'm cutting off this interview. Greg Gutfield says, well, I mean, as long as it's a Republican, it's fine to be a complete dick and evade the question and lie. Okay, here's the next clip from Fox News on this same topic because J.D. vance, what a titty baby. What a big fat baby. Fox News is leading with J.D. vance because a report reporter dare to say we're not going to listen to your horseshit. This is what's leading the news. Here we go.

It looks like what the Biden DOJ was doing was going around throwing bags of cash at incoming Trump administration officials. Those look like dirty political setups and stings. Now, I assume he didn't take the cash and not report it to the irs. I surely hope that's not what happened, but I don't trust the doj.
Progressive Political Commentator
Okay, the Chiron, for those of you are listening it's in quotes. It says bogus story. Vance slams Stephanopoulos over Homan story. Okay, so let me go back to this. Tom Homan is caught on an audio tape right before the election taking a bribe. $50,000 in cash. I think it was like a kava bag or a Panera bra. Some. Some like, bag that they put $50,000 in cash in. There's audio of him receiving it. Now they're saying it's a bogus story even though people have actually heard the recording. And of course they're blaming Joe Biden. Here's the deal. I don't have to have the auto recording of me accepting a bribe and defend it because I don't accept bribes. Them act or Jesse Waters acting like the Biden DOJ was throwing money at people to catch them on tape and then waiting for the Trump administration to come in and investigate. It is ludicrous. It makes no sense. This man took a bribe. It's on audio tape. And they are so willing over at Fox News and the Republican Party at large to cover up for criminal behavior. Because from the top, all the way down, it is a cesspool of criminals, sexual deviants, and complete and total dehumanizing, cruel. That's who they are.
