Foreign. Donald Trump and his idiotic MAGA sicko fans are going to do everything, and I mean everything, in their power to suppress the vote and cheat in the upcoming midterms. We're already seeing signs in Texas that it is a code blue alert. It is blue tsunami stuff happening down in the Lone Star State right now. The Democratic turnout is unbelievable. So the MAGA freakout is full blown right now. And an underreported story from the New Republic is giving us signs that we need to be taking this incredibly seriously. Seth, pop this up the New Republic. Trump's ICE is quietly stockpiling weaponry and it should alarm us all. So let's review here. He started. He called, remember, he called Greg Abbott, Hey, I need for you to gerrymander. He's like, okay, no problem. He's already starting all of these things. But more than anything, Trump will always telegraph what his intentions are. Sometimes it's projection. He accuses the other side of doing what he wants to do. And from his State of the Union address, there was something that I want us to focus on that I didn't pay much attention to in my first analysis of the State of the Union. But this I really want us all to dive into. Seth, play the cl.

And the reason they don't want to do it. Why would anybody not want voter id? One reason. Because they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say what imagination they have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it. John.

Okay, I think when he said John, I think that's John Roberts, the Supreme Court justice. And y' all may remember, I had Senator Chris Murphy on a couple of days ago before the State of the Union address, and he said, you know, don't get too excited about the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court because they'll probably do something like that and then they will come in with something far more devastating, like voting stuff. So we have ICE that he's using in blue states right now, Minnesota, to test the waters. He is going to use ice, who we now know, according to the New Republic, is stockpiling weapons. And I want you to think about the insanity of this. The federal government is stockpiling weapons to use against its own citizens. And the cheater, the guy who sent a mob to the Capitol to kill Mike Pence, a white Republican Christian Republican. He sent a mob to kill Mike Pence and he has the audacity to stand there and say they cheat. And then little Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson stands up and claps like a little trained circus seal. This is, I'm telling you guys, they are telegraphing what they're going to do. They are going to cheat. Every accusation is a confession. And so we as the opposition party must, must be taking this seriously. So then I look to the opposition party because Trump has told us we're going to use ice. We're going to. We're stockpiling weapons with ice. He's. John, we've got to do something. Assuming that's John Roberts, the Chief justice of the Supreme Court. So I want to look to the Democratic leadership. What are you going to do? How seriously are you taking this? Because this is something that is non negotiable. Elections are non negotiable. So let's see what the Democrats are going to do about it. DCCC rakes in millions from Palantir lobbyists as protests target the company's ICE surveillance tools. Oh, so you're telling me Hakeem Jeffries, they're taking money from Palantir, Alex Karp and Peter Till, the coked up billionaires that don't pay taxes, that want to dismantle American democracy. And our opposition party is taking money from Palantir and feeding it to other Democrats. Are you serious right now? I'm just going to say it. I'm going to say it right now. Hakeem Jeffries is compromised and he needs to resign. Serious members of the Progressive Caucus have got to quit playing patty cake with this guy. He is a corporate dim through and through, and he is a fascist collaborator. There's no question that Chuck Schumer is as well. But we will not retain our democracy with the Democratic Party taking money from paler. We are not going to retain our country with the Democratic Party taking donations from aipac. Let's look at it like this. Who did Palantir want to win as President of the United States? Trump. They wanted Trump to win so badly. Peter Thiel bought and purchased JD Vance and installed him because he's younger and more diabolical than Trump because they do not want democracy anymore. But they're also so diabolical. They're controlling the opposition. We have paid controlled corporate dim. So every time you get on here and you watching the news and you want to pull your hair out, why aren't the Democrats doing anything? They're not doing anything because Representative Hakeem Jeffries takes money from Palantir and gives it to other candidates. And so here's an excerpt from this article. Pop this up. In January alone, January of 2026, last month, you guys, more than a dozen lobbyists with firms representing Palantir bundled a combined 2.9 million for the DCC. According to a newly filed FEC disclosure, the January haul from Palantir's lobbying firms represents 38% of the DCCC's total contributions from for the month. The corporate Dems are in on it. The the fix is in. This is I, I, I don't want to hear from any progressive caucus member in the House that oh, we support Hakeem Jeffries because he doesn't support you. He is paid controlled opposition. And we have to be, we have to open up our eyes and be completely clear eyed about about this. I get no joy. I do not like this. I don't like the fact party has shifted so much they care more about Palantir than they do about American workers. And the lie with that is just so. It's even more diabolical because at least we know Trump's a piece of. But the Democrats at least get in front of a camera and say we're going to service Palantir first and we're going to service APAC first. We'll get to the people later. We'll throw in some harm reduction measures to make you all feel better. This is utterly disgraceful. Hakeem Jeffries needs to resign. Chuck Schumer needs to resign. The progressive members of both the Senate and the House need to get their shit together and force them out. Now Trump is saying it. He's calling it. They're going to cheat. They are going to cheat. He's calling on John. We have to make sure this doesn't happen. John. That's John Roberts. Get serious. How can Hakeem Jeffries give a shit about the American workers if he's taking money from Palantir? He can't. And we all have to open up our eyes to this. The corporate Dems are controlled opposition. Chuck Schumer is controlled opposition. And it gets worse, you guys. It gets worse. Pop this up. Matthew Edie recently discovered how APAC is hiding its donations using three campaigns for, you guessed it, Hakeem Jeffries, AKA Apac Shakur. I created a graphic to help you understand how the secret campaigns are structured and why. You won't be able to see APAC and FEC filings, but APAC will still be able to track donations through unique IDs and show candidates how much their network has donated to buy Pro Israel votes. And here is the graph. You can see it here. Apac. And then we have the Democracy Engine. Three of these that are funneled through Hakeem Jeffries. So let's review here. Keep this up. Hakeem Jeffries is paler first. Hakeem Jeffries is Israel first. How can Hakeem Jeffries care about immigrant children when he doesn't care about Palestinian children? And he takes money from a genocidal government that's ran by a war criminal, a far right fascist war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu, that funded Hamas. And then you see all this money, they're filtering in to candidates. And so here's how it works, you guys. AIPAC directs its donors to the Pro Israel Network website via email campaigns. And then the Pro Israel Network uses Democracy Engine as its payment processor. That's Apac Shakur. That's Hakeem Jeffries. And then donations are recorded as individual donations from Democracy Engine. In the back end, each Pro Israel Network campaign is recorded with a unique id. I need to say this as clearly as possible. MAGA is not around. Peter Thiel is not around. Elon Musk is not around. These people are serious about the destruction of American democracy, and they have the money to do it, and they shouldn't have Hakeem Jeffries to do it. The Democratic Party needs to stand for something and it cannot stand for, for diabolical corporations that don't pay taxes. The Democratic Party cannot be for a blank check to Israel, who is run by a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu. We cannot be this party. This is a uni party. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are controlled by opposition full stop. They take money from MAGA donors and then they get on camera and lie to the American people. And you might say, jennifer, quit brow beating Democrats. I can get on here all day long and I can browbeat Republicans because tomorrow Trump's going to do something more illegal, more unethical. He's going to cover up more child rape stuff from the Epstein files. It's going to happen every single day. And the Republicans are going to allow him to do it, but the Democrats have to be in opposition. And when you find out the Democratic leadership is taking money from Palantir and AIPAC and God knows who else, and then you keep thinking, why aren't they putting up a resistance? Why aren't they opposing him at every turn? Why aren't they saying abolish eyes? Why aren't they saying no more blank check to Israel? No, we're stopping that. Not absolutely not cooperating with a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu. And so you start realizing it is a uni party. You know, Howard Lutnick, Midas touch refers to as Howard Nutlik. So just in Trump 1.0, you know who he supported for president? Pop this up, Seth. Hillary Clinton. In 2015, Howard Lutnick hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential run. Now he's Trump's Secretary of commerce. What happened, Howard? How do you go from supporting Hillary Clinton to being Trump's most trained, sycophantic, clapping little seal? Oh, I know you were in the Epstein files. And it seems like everybody in the Epstein files, somehow Trump and everybody got the messaging out. And also is there that big of a difference now? If these billionaires can just jump from Hillary to Trump, is there that big of a difference there? Really, we have to look at this. The only thing Democrats offer us is harm reduction, but they just, it is corporations first, Israel first, all of these other things first. And yeah, we'll throw in some harm reduction to make Democrats feel better. And so somebody put this. And the author of this is anonymous. But I thought this is the most important, important message that we all have to realize right now. And I want to say I have been going through a political evolution on this. When you lose a presidential race against a man who was a convicted felon, who incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol, whose supporters wanted to hang a white Christian Republican named Mike Pence, I found that to all be very dangerous in thinking these people should never have the keys to the federal government again. So when the Democrats ran in 2024 and lost, I had to think, why do we keep losing to this man? What is it? What is it? Well, it is that the Democrats service corporations first. And workingclass Americans feel that. They feel it. They feel the narratives that the corporations with a major assist from the Republican Party and a kind of gotcha, you know, hoodwink assist from the Democratic Party. Oh, you can't have high wages, you can't get any services. But we're also going to blame you and scapegoat you for all the national deficits and all of these programs. And this person summed up what's happening perfectly. And I think that all of this has happened at a very rapid rate in a very short period of time. This is what has happened to the Democratic base. So join me in reading this. Pop this up. For a long time I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly, but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win, and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the center position and moving right. And eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts. The Democrats are not overmatched. They aren't weak. They aren't cowards. They are complicit. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are fascist collaborators. You cannot be an opposition party when you take money from the evil entities that want to dismantle American democracy. You cannot. You are not qualified to lead the opposition. Period. I am calling on every progressive member of the House of Representatives to unseat Hakeem Jeffries from his chair. He is compromised. The fix is in. The same goes for gutless Chuck Schumer. They are ineffectual. Trump is going to cheat ISIS stockpiling weapons. They are killing American citizens. They are buying billions of dollars worth of warehouses to store people in. This is called a concentration camp. This is serious. We have to have all hands on deck. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer need to go and they need to go immediately. This is a 91 1. The house is literally on fire. Please call the progressive members of the House of Representatives and the Senate and tell them to buck up, buttercups. This is serious. We want fighters. We want an opposition party. We want to save American democracy. I'll be back later with more news.
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: February 26, 2026
In this fiery and impassioned episode, Jennifer Welch takes center stage to dissect how Democratic leadership, specifically Hakeem Jeffries, is receiving and funneling money from controversial sources such as AIPAC and Palantir. Jennifer contends that this financial support compromises the Democratic Party's credibility as an opposition to Trump and the MAGA movement, calling out Jeffries and Chuck Schumer as “fascist collaborators.” The episode blends reporting, personal opinion, and progressive outrage, exploring both the dangers of the Trump movement and the failures of Democratic leadership to offer a meaningful alternative.
Voter Suppression & Cheating: Jennifer warns of an all-out effort by Trump and MAGA supporters to suppress votes and “cheat” in the upcoming midterms, focusing on Texas as a battleground.
ICE Stockpiling Weapons: Reference to a New Republic article exposing how ICE is “quietly stockpiling weaponry,” raising alarms about state-sanctioned violence against citizens.
Trump's Rhetoric as Confession: Jennifer points out that Trump's public accusations (e.g., about cheating) are projections of his own intended actions.
Palantir and DCCC Donations: Jennifer highlights that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is receiving millions from Palantir lobbyists, which she frames as fundamentally compromising.
Hakeem Jeffries as ‘Controlled Opposition’: Jennifer repeatedly accuses Jeffries (and Schumer) of functioning as “fascist collaborators.” She asserts they serve corporate interests (Palantir, AIPAC) over American workers.
AIPAC Donations and Secret Campaign Funnels: The show describes how AIPAC uses indirect channels like Democracy Engine and the Pro Israel Network to discreetly steer money to Jeffries and others, bypassing FEC transparency.
Disillusionment with Democratic Leadership: Jennifer describes her shift from viewing Democrats as overwhelmed, to cowardly, to outright complicit in anti-democratic trends.
“For a long time I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly, but just overwhelmed… Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win, and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally… it became impossible to ignore… The Democrats… are complicit.” (16:50)
Call for New Progressive Leadership: Demands that the Progressive Caucus openly oppose Jeffries and Schumer, insisting the Party cannot preserve democracy while taking such money and betraying progressive values.
Uniparty Assertion: Jennifer criticizes the revolving door between Democratic and Republican mega-donors and staff, referencing Howard Lutnick's shift from supporting Hillary Clinton to serving under Trump.

Jennifer’s tone is urgent, combative, and deeply skeptical of both parties—laced with progressive outrage and a strong call to action. The language is direct, unfiltered, and often comedic or sarcastic, as seen in terms like “APAC Shakur” and “Palantir first, Israel first.” The episode carries a sense of mounting frustration with the status quo and an insistence on accountability.
This episode positions Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership as fatally compromised by corporate and AIPAC money, arguing that their acquiescence enables the Trump/MAGA threat to democracy. Jennifer Welch pleads for true progressive resistance, framing the current crisis as a “911” moment for American democracy, and calls on the audience to demand new leadership now.
