Clown, you get a circus. And that's exactly what's happening in Kings's administration. We've seen Pete Hexeth. He does not want the press to know what he's doing because he is so profoundly incompetent and he is murdering people willy nilly with zero evidence. So this surprised me. Zero. That conspiracy theorist in chief, Laura Loomer, far right activist, given credentials to cover the Pentagon. So eating the dogs, eating the cats girl, is now an accredited member of the press at the Pentagon, which is just sycophants because none of the other press that we get mad at all the time because they sugarcoat and san wash this administration, they walked out. So they put in eating the dogs, eating the cat, squirrel.

This.

Host 1
It'S just breathtaking.

Host 2
It really is. And you know, here's one thing that I think. I think they're blowing their wad, okay? I think the, they cannot help themselves with their impulse control and they are accelerating the insanity because they have the inability to play the tape through. And I think it's backfiring. And I think with these Democratic victories, I think that these victories when, when sitting politicians that are centrists that know that Kanks is a nut, they know that she's a conspiracy theorist, but they just ride public opinion. These victories are going to give some moderate people in the House the insight to say, oh, I need to start distancing myself from this regime. And public opinion is very, very powerful for centrist politicians that just want to stay in power again and again and again. And listen, I think they're cowards and all of that, but we'll take what we can get. And so good, let's put Laura Loomer in charge or over at Pentagon Press and let's just keep this insanity going because it's. If they were doing all of this stuff incrementally, the fascist takeover, the fascist coup, it would be far more terrifying than the horror that we're experiencing right now.

I think you're right. I, I do. I think that some of these Republicans that refuse to go to town halls are now going to look and say I'm qualified to do nothing else than be a congressman for my backward ass state. So I need to jump on board with what my constituents want and quit being a puppy for Donald Trump. And then we have, okay, this even for Trump, who is a vile, craven person. He is weaponizing hunger for his regime. This is what he posted yesterday. And I want to remind everybody, a court last week said you cannot withhold emergency funds and not fund snap. So he is violating a court order. And he says SNAP benefits which increased by billions and billions of dollars, many fold, not as much as what you're sending to Argentina and Israel during crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office due to the fact that they were haphazardly handed to anyone for the asking and opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP will be given only when the radical left Democrats open up the government, which they can easily do and not before. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President djt. And my thought is this is a clear contemptible offense and violation of a court order, full stop. I mean he is openly violating a court order. And then I thought how despicable for anyone, much less the President of the United States to bargain with people eating nutrition that he is saying I would rather people starve than not get what I want. And even for kanks, I thought that was pretty startling.

I the Republican Party has been doing this for as much as long as I can remember all of my adult life. They have demeaned people on SNAP benefits. They have criticized their food choices even though the worst food imaginable are the only things that the SNAP benefits can provide. They have done a very effective diabolical job demonizing people that work for minimum wage and make minimum wage as somehow welfare queens when the real welfare queens are the corporations that exploit their labor. And so this doesn't surprise me much at all. This is modern day, an extension of modern day Republicanism. He's just a little bit more cruel. But Ronald Reagan was this way, George W. Bush was this way, Mitch McConnell's this way. This is a Republican Party policy. Demean the poor, demean the hungry, demean the sick. Make fun of hard working people that do manual physical labor and tell them they're not working hard enough and they're not worthy of anything while subsidize these corporations that refuse to pay you a livable wage.

Host 1
Well, it's, I mean it's coming and I hope that the Supreme Court doesn't back down on this because I do not believe that this falls within the executive order to defy a court order. Not that there's anybody that can hold Trump in contempt because we know Pam Bondi has her lips plastered to his ass. And then here's what's so funny, Caroline. KKK Levitt is on TV giving a press conference at the same time Trump is holding SNAP benefits hostage and she just lies for him. Here she goes. Thanks so much, Caroline. Can you help Clear up some confusion about SNAP benefits.
- [06:02]
Host 2
Sure.

Host 1
The President just posted that they will only be given out when the radical left Democrats open the government and not before. But just yesterday, the administration said it would comply with a court order to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds by end of business day yesterday. So did the administration distribute that money or defy that court order? No, the administration is fully complying with the court order. I just spoke to the President about it. The recipients of these staff benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money because the Democrats have forced the administration into a very untenable position. We are. Okay, stop. She's a fuck twat, if I may use the word that we've coined. First of all, she knows that Trump is withholding the money. She knows there's a court order, so she's trying to pussy foot around it. But she gets up there and they say to her face what Trump said. And she completely goes against him and says, oh well, people need to be patient because it's the radical left Democrats. It's like, bitch, we are not as dumb as the mag voters that elected you complete morons. It's just she infuriates me every day.
- [07:13]
Host 2
Yeah. And this is just what they're going to continue to do. This is what they do every single day. To have an expectation that we're going to get any truth or anything but gaslighting spin from this administration would be a fool's errand on our part. But the good news right now, you guys, is their bullshit isn't working. And we have data to back that up. We can see that people are now clear eyed that they were lied to, that he said he was going to fix inflation on day one, that he was going to fix all of these things. And they don't. Inflation is worse. The economy is worse because Kinks and the people surrounding him, the only economy they look at is the stock market. Right. Which is to tell you how detached they are. So Carolyn Levitt will go down as one of the dingiest propagandists in world history, in my opinion. And these videos will be played for years and years to come in history classes. And I can only imagine that people will marvel at the stupidity of a portion of the American electorate that believes this bullshit. I completely agree.

And then skipping ahead, we have Representative James McGovern and he describes Trump and it is so perfect. I don't think he goes far enough. But I think it's worth hearing Republicans.

James McGovern
Are choosing to Go after nutrition assistance. Trump is doing this because he is a bad person. He's a lousy president and an even worse human being. He's weaponizing hunger and trying to rip food away from more than 40 million Americans, including 16 million children, for sadistic political leverage. How dare he. How dare he exploit the pain of hungry Americans. How dare he make. How dare he make working folks choose between health care and food. How dare he starve poor children who go to bed hungry? These people are sick in the head.
- [09:17]
Host 1
Okay, that's good. Sick in the head. Here's the thing he forgot. He's a criminal, he's a narcissist, he has dementia. Sadistic, yes. But the overriding thing about Trump is he doesn't give a. I mean, if we didn't know it before, it is obvious during this shutdown, he does not care about anybody but himself and money and taking more and taking more from the American people. So I don't think he went far enough, but I liked it.
- [09:52]
Host 2
I think the connection to sadism is really appropriate, especially when you look at the White House social media feeds and how sadistic they are and they flaunt the cruelty that our government is imposing upon immigrants and that we have a Supreme Court that said, yes, you can racially profile. You absolutely can racially profile. And this election cycle that we just had and these victories, it's going to be interesting to see what happens in the House. They're just one vote away from releasing the Epstein files and pumps. I think if those files are released, the dam is going to break. Kanks is dementia. He's a lame duck. He's quacking like a crazy ass duck on lsd. All right? That's what it looks like as he's running around. And people in the MAGA movement have identified his mortality because it is on full display. He's a senior citizen. His cankles just, I mean, you can just tell, like curtains are closing here and people are seeing that. And so I hope that the Democrats keep the pressure on and I hope public opinion pushes some cowardice Republicans to look at their constituents and say, okay, this is. I'm going to get leveled in the next campaign if I don't start stepping up to some resistance. So some of his colleagues might be, have, might have had fun the last six months, but they're going to have to reassess these sadistic policies because that's what they are. And the last elections are a total rebuke on that.
