• Continuing the theme of Trump’s antics, Speaker B relays reports from Rolling Stone stating that Trump dismissed Epstein accusers as “Democrats,” framing this as a dangerous dismissal of sexual assault victims.
• Speaker C condemns this attitude, remarking, “This man does not give two shits about the victim,” and criticizes MAGA supporters who lift him up despite his behavior.

Transcript

[A]

Most people would rather remove a nest of irate hornets than search for auto and home insurance. That's why the zebra searches for you. Comparing over 100 insurance companies to find savings no one else can Compare. [e-mail] I think I'll wait inside.

[B]

All right, you guys. Cankles McTaco Tits has reached a new level of complete dehydration. I'm talking Sahara Desert thirst trap dehydration. Put up the headline. Trump has stooped to cold calling Norwegian diplomats in his long suffering bid to be awarded the country's coveted Nobel Peace Prize. Thirsty Trump's desperate cold call about Nobel Peace Prize, reports the Daily Beast. I mean, this guy you guys make taco tits is dehydrated. Sahara Desert. That is so pathetic. It is so unbelievably pathetic. And what's more pathetic are all of the betas that go along and are like, yeah, call them up. That they don't again, like you always say, they're incapable of feeling shame. Here's what.

[C]

When I read that, you know the first thing I thought of? Remember when he called the New York Post and said it wasn't him and said that Marla Maple said he was the best lay of her life? This is that this is. I feel so bad about myself and I know what a piece of shit I am. So I need to call them and ask them to pretty please give me the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama won it.

[B]

You know, and just kind of hypothetically playing through the call that you mentioned before, he got into politics with saying that Marla Maple said he was the best, late lying and acting like he's somebody else. What that tells me, what I can infer from that is they got in a huge fight, he and Marla, and she finally looked over at him and said, you're a two pump chump and you're the worst lay I've ever had. Right? And that just occupied real estate in his brain. And then he felt like everybody knew that, so then he had to lie and call the New York Post. But moving along here, Rolling Stone is reporting that Trump is demeaning the Epstein victims. Sources tell Rolling Stone that Trump has repeatedly critiqued the string of media appearances by Epstein accusers and their families, arguing that some of them are just trying to make him look bad. Trump is privately dismissing the Epstein victims as, quote, Democrats. And so this is a message to all of the MAGA women. If something happens to your daughter and it happens to be a maga, a male, that does it. If she is raped or sexually assaulted. He is setting a precedent that you dismiss the victim and you call them a Democrat. This is just beyond the pale that this party acts like they are four children. They act like they are four families. And in fact it is the party of sexual depravity and the COVID up of sexual depravity and the normalization of sexual assault.

[C]

This man does not give two shits about the victim. It surprises me, 00 that he would talk about them this way because everything is about him. It's gross. It's so bad. Maga women especially, shame on you for lifting this person up.

[B]

And then especially you get to somebody like Nancy Mace who is a victim of sexual assault, who defends him and uses her sexual assault as a way to say that he's so pro female. I mean, it is such a mind warp with these people. It's such a cult. Which leads me to, as Governor Newsom has nicknamed her, Cara Lyon Levitt. This is her insanity. Listen to the duplicity in this statement, the lying and the gaslighting that the.

[D]

President can do this for 30 days if he notifies the right committees in Congress, which he did. There were some stories the Democrats were spreading the narrative. We don't need the National Guard in there because crime has gone down around 30%, 26% I think this past year and 35% the year before that. And then we heard those numbers might be inaccurate, they might be false and some people were let go or they were suspended. Right, Brian, from their jobs because of it. Can you clear that up for us? Are those numbers correct?

[E]

These numbers are absolutely correct. And we will continue to provide the American public and the press with the numbers because we're proud of these efforts. If the Democrats had their way, there would be hundreds more criminals roaming free in the streets of the District of Columbia right now. There would be hundreds of more illegal aliens who this multitask task force has already detained and arrested. And now that enough.

[B]

All right, number one, she tees it up for her. Is it true that crime rate in D.C. is down 30%? And the Democrats argument that we don't need to militarize the streets. And she said it's absolutely true, crime is down 30%. But just for spite and just to be dicks and just to be fascist, we're going to send the military in anyway. And here's at the crux of this. Number one, it's a lie. This lie that Democrats want criminals everywhere. Democrats are trying to raise the minimum wage. The biggest preventer of crime is Lifting people out of poverty. This is proven. This is objectively true. Caroline Levitt is the biggest propagandist, bullshit liar. But here's at the crux of this thing. Are they these big badass Alphas, or are they scared of being in blue cities because they both don't live together? Charlie Kirk's terrified of walking down the streets in New York. All of these. Now we have all these MAGA people in D.C. whereas last year it was all the Biden people or. And. Or Democrats, and they fired pretty much all of the federal government via Doge. And so what they're basically saying is, here we're. And we're scared to walk the streets, so we have to have military tanks around, even though the crime rate is down 30%, 40%. So, Fox News viewers, you're dumb, right? You're stupid, and you're. Because that is just utter insanity.

[C]

I listen to all these MAGA people. Like, we're so scared to walk around here, and we're so scared of this, and we're so scared of that. And I immediately think you're a. We've been to D.C. many times, never felt scared once. Been on the subway at night a million times, never felt scared once. The reason they're scared is because if you do not look like them, which means white, then they automatically think the worst of you because they breed hate and they breed cruelty and they're racists. That's where we get land pumps.

[B]

You are 100% correct. I couldn't have said it better, because now all of these MAGA people that are in government are in a multicultural city. They don't like it, and they are like, oh, my God, there's a black person we need to run. Very brilliant point. Moving along, here's Charlie Kirk putting on a clinic in gaslighting and delusion. Play the clip.

[F]

This is a 2028 strategy. And so Gavin Newsom is gonna try to call a special session to overturn the will of the voters. I thought it was all about democracy, right? It's not democracy. It's about oligarchy. And the baseline component of all of this is that the people of California, Republican and Democrat, socialist and Libertarian, they don't want politicians involved in the drawing of the maps. Gavin Newsom does not care because he wants to be president more than. Listen to the voters of California, okay?

[B]

What Gavin Newsom is doing, you dipshit. Charlie Kirk, is taking it to the voters, right? What the governor of Texas is doing is bending over for Donald Trump and saying, is this low enough for you. That's the difference. But this is just classic, classic gaslighting. Him talking about oligarchy is another layer of just unbelievable lack of self awareness or willful manipulation to the dumbed down viewing public of Fox News.

[C]

I was actually thinking that he was talking about Abbott because Abbott didn't want to do the vote. He just wanted to unilaterally do it. But they were showing Gavin by mistake. It took me a minute.

[B]

That's why it's so important, Pumps that everybody, every American, every person interested in fighting fascism, get your news and know that it's factual. Know if it's coming from the right, know if it's coming from the left. Because the worst thing we can do is just acquiesce. We all have to stay engaged. And that's why every single morning this broad night, log on to ground news.

[C]

Ground News is like the Spotify of news. It puts everything together. It tells you what is the factuality in the news that you're reading, which is so important.

[B]

Here's a headline from the left. Trump demands homeless leave D.C. ahead of street crime Press conference, live updates and then. And it tells you that this article has high factuality. It's spun on the right with this headline. Trump vows to evict homeless from Washington. Officials say National Guard may be deployed. So you guys, every morning do what pumps and I do.

Moving along, let's check in with Smokeyeye sociopath JD Vance. You guys, it's not that this guy has no riz. He has negative risk. Like it's it's so cringy to watch this guy try to be cool because it's not his default setting. Everything he does, it's like he's trying to cosplay a cool person and face plants. Prime example. Play the clip.

[H]

Dodged a literal bullet, but I think the whole country dodged the bullet of Kamala Harris and Tim Walson. To all those who are watching in Vegas, aren't you glad you have me as vice president and a lot of communist agent Tim Walls.

[I]

Oh my gosh. Yeah. That guy was nuts. Bouncing around the stage and jumping around.

[C]

Yeah.

[H]

Jazz. Jazz hand symbol stands.

[I]

Oh my gosh.

[B]

Hilarious.

[C]

He's not funny.

[B]

That is just such a face plant. I don't know who that interviewer was. This is like this is the heir apparent to maga. I mean that's it. And so I think the entire cult is going to completely dismantle. But he mentioned Kamala Harris and I just want to point out to you guys because this cannot be overstated enough how propaganda oriented Fox News is, how everything they do is for an audience of one. And put up this tweet. Plus headline Kylie, here is Fox News in 2020 headline, Kamala Harris reportedly spent over $500 on cookware in Parisian shop amid US economic uncertainty. And Covey on Twitter retweets this article from 2020 and says JD Vance went on his seventh vacation in six months and two weeks at a $28,000 per week Scottish estate as inflation soars and prices skyrocket. Yet not a peep from the right wing media. Meanwhile. And then he says this was Fox News about Kamala Harris. The the brazen sycophancy from this network. I don't think the judgment of a billion dollars was enough. And I think the American public has done a phenomenal job brow beating Elon Musk and making sure that he his polling is the lowest of any politician or politician adjacent person in the country. And I don't think we're doing hard good enough work on Fox News.

[C]

No, we've got to do more on Fox News because they are keeping people dumb. And didn't you tell me it's a fact that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, you know less about news than people that don't pay any attention to the news.

[B]

Yes, because that's how misinformed you are. All right, that's all we have for today. Buy our book. Life is a lazy Susan of sandwiches. Is the link is in our bio. We'll be back later with more news.
