And weak president with extreme cognitive decline, whom we refer to as kanks. You guys, we're entering into a new area of this fascist takeover. And the President of the United States and everybody surrounding him are exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk. And they immediately started coordinating their messaging and saying they, they killed him. They need to be silenced, they need to be incarcerated. And they are priming the public right now. They are priming us to not look at Epstein, to not look at Russia, to not look at all of these other problems. A failing economy, rising inflation. They are priming the public right now to erode civil rights. And let me just play some clips for you. Play the first one.
A
You know, it's got whatever it is, and they're throwing rocks at it. And after 50 yards, it looks like an old beat up vehicle. It was just brand new. It was just bought for the purposes. And they don't have to take that anymore. I let it be known we'll take responsibility. They don't have to take it anymore. And they don't want to take it. They were told by a past administration, it became almost a culture. If somebody throws a rock at you, do nothing. If somebody spits in your face, do nothing. And I say when they spit, you hit. Do whatever you want. You, you do whatever the hell you want. I watch it. I watched it so sick it made me for four years. I had to sit home and watch people screaming at policemen and spitting in their face. And they weren't able to do anything. They just had a grin and bear. They're standing up like a piece of steel. And they're women, in many cases. Women. You can see they're professional agitators. I had one the other night. I had four the other night. All in one group. Total phonies that started to scream. When I got into a restaurant. Oh, you know, something with Palestine. I said, well, I'm doing a great job for peace in the Middle East. I should get lots of awards for that, right? With the Abraham Accords and everything else. But a woman.
B
So much to unpack there. Number one, he's doing a great job with peace in the Middle East. When Benjamin Netanyahu just bombed his BFFs that gave him gifted him a PJ number two, the whole thing. When I saw the code Pink in the restaurant, you guys, that is a Secret Service failure. And I can't help but think, how does a sitting President of the United States get three feet away from protesters? These are the optics that they're all creating. Look at them. Look at what they are doing. And then he's talking about police being able. When they spit, you hit. He was so. And he's. He's lying about all of this hostility towards police during the Biden administration. Yes, there was. After the George Floyd, there was a very real reckoning that was happening regarding race and police. But what he's talking about now is a completely militarized police force that can act with impunity. And this is the erosion of civil rights. Before I get Pumps's take, I want to play you one more clip a.
A
Violent radical left group. Okay, go ahead. I got a lot of comments for doing that. They still have their first amendment right though. They're still out there. You've got an amazing team mind.
B
Okay. They said, the reporter said they still have their first amendment right. Right. And the president Kings, he said, yeah, I'm not so sure.
C
This is absolutely going to be what he hangs his hat on to kill free speech. He's been wanting to do it. He thinks any dissent should be penalized. And I'm terrified of all this. The way they've used Charlie Kirk's death, exploited it. Now this deal with. I mean, people are allowed to protest. That is what our nation is built on is everybody having to having an opinion that they can voice. And he's going to take that away.
B
Failed drag queen smokey eye sociopath who we refer to as little Smokey. Here he is. He substituted for Charlie Kirk's podcast yesterday. This is what is sitting vice president of the United States is saying. And I want you to notice the words they. And take notice about the implied erosion of civil liberties. Play the clip.
D
There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents politics. There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family or lost a dear friend. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination. And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagree. Did you know that the George Soros Open Society foundation and the Ford foundation, the groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death, do you know they benefit from generous tax treatment? They are literally subsidized by you and me, the American taxpayer. And how do they reward us by Setting fire to the house built by the American family over 250 years. I am desperate for our country to be united in condemnation of the actions and the ideas that killed my friend. I want it so badly that I will tell you a difficult truth. We can only have it with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable. And when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.
B
All right, everybody in the Democratic Party, everybody across the board condemns political violence. What he's talking about are some online people, some comments in the comments section. That's what they're going after here. The Democratic Party at large, every politician that I've seen, all past presidents, all major media outlets have condemned this entirely. It was horrific to see. They're going after George Soros. And it's pretty rich here that he's talking about George Soros getting subsidized by the taxpayers. The fact of the matter is, every billionaire gets subsidized by the taxpayers, including all of their benefactors, particularly his personal benefactor, Peter Thiel, who is colluding with Elon Musk and their big desire to dismantle all of Western democracies. But you guys, this is my opinion. I think they are prepping right now. Kanks is old. He is frail. He. We've all seen the bruises, we've seen the ankles, we've seen the cognitive decline. There's just. You can, you can watch the clips and your, your eyes and ears are showing you this man is not in good health. I think that they're prepping us to where if something happens to Kanks, then immediately it's established that he's the tyrant. And anybody who's celebrating his death, then all of this power is consolidated in Lil Smokey. And this is what's so terrifying. The people behind Kanks, they know that if something happens to Kanks, something happens to the cult. And this guy's favorability is not super high. He's not a very likable person. And they are setting this up. They are. The fix is in that they are going to start eroding civil rights. They have these manifestos that all of these right wing influencers are making about, oh my God, you know, Applebee's didn't lower their flags in New Jersey and they're going around losing their minds. And you know, Shirley that works at KFC said that this about Charlie Kirk. And they have all of these logs and I just feel like they are setting this up to where when something happens with the cult leader, a Stroke and, or death or medical emergency, whatever, all the power is consolidated. For little Smokey to be a complete tyrant, that man should be nowhere near a lever of power. That was his speech about political violence. And he doesn't address it on both sides. He doesn't address the, really the, the, the core of a lot of this political rhetoric is his boss.
C
Absolutely. And the one thing that I have not heard from anybody that is so angry about Charlie Kirk's death is we're going to go and into the bowels of this extremism on the Internet on both sides. We are going to see what is going on in those spaces that is amping up people to do this. 75% of the time, it's right wing extremists. I've not heard one person say we're going to address extremism online and we're going to figure out how. I think J.D. vance did this for a very self serving reason. Charlie Kirk had a big portion of the youth vote. I think J.D. vance wants it. And at this point, even if Donald Trump were to pass away from a heart attack, I feel like they would feed it to the base that something happened, that the radical left did it because they are lying about everything.
B
And next up here is Stephen Miller, who in essence is a shadow president. We did an episode on this that dropped last night covering the reporting from Rolling Stone and Stephen Miller and J.D. vance and Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and much even international actors. Their interest is to see our democracy erode. Their interest is to see us battling against one another to dismantle and erode civil liberties so that there can be a fascist takeover of this government. And here's Stephen Miller.
E
You know what emotions I'm feeling right now? This is something people say. I mean, you kind of know the answer. There's incredible sadness, but there's incredible anger. And the thing about anger is that unfocused anger or blind rage is not a productive emotion, but focused anger. Righteous anger directed for a just cause is one of the most important agents of change in human history.
D
Charlie showed that. Amen.
E
And we are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorists.
B
Right there. Organized campaign that led to this assassination. This is immediately after Charlie Kirk was shot. There was an organized campaign on the right to immediately label the shooter as a leftist. And in the days evolving, I've heard these people say online that it is a transgender terror cell. All right. This was a MAGA on MAGA crime. And they are completely ignoring that. Completely ignoring it. This is a classic propagandist gaslighting. And in an attempt to create a problem out of nothing, a fake problem. And then their solution is going to be to erode civil rights. They are going to make it illegal to disagree with the administration. They're going to make it illegal to be liberal. Continue on with the clip.
E
So let me explain a little bit what that means.
D
So 30 seconds. Be quick, Stephen.
E
The. The organized doxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence. The organized.
B
The organized doxing campaign is them. Yes. If you get online the organized doxing campaign or a bunch of psychos losing their minds over somebody is not reacting. The thought police, they're not reacting the way they want them to react. And it's certainly understandable. People in the black community abhor violence, but at the same time don't feel a lot of empathy for somebody who is actively, actively a racist in all of the propaganda that Charlie Kirk put out. Okay, continue the clip.
E
Campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people's addresses, combining that with messaging that's designed to trigger incite violence and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence. It is a vast domestic terror movement. God is my witness dangerous. Every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name.
B
Okay. They are propagandizing right here and telling the American public that there are these radical leftist terror cells and this is completely 1000% false. Before the Internet, there were radical right cells and Timothy McVeigh was born onto that. And a lot of that trickling still remains of this right wing rage machine. And you can look back to Rush Limbaugh. You can look to Alex Jones. Alex Jones is feigning that he's so upset about this shooting. Meanwhile, he spent years of his life demeaning the parents who lost their kindergarteners in Sandy Hook, lied and said they made it up, that their kids didn't die, that the shooting was a false flag. It is. This is so. This moment right here is so incredibly dangerous because those two people right there are seeing beyond kinks. They are seeing what America is beyond. And they know that these two are not likable and they cannot keep the cult together. So they are acting rapidly to consolidate power immediately so that when something happens to him, they have all the power. And they can, with impunity, erode everybody's civil rights. They have all of their little keyboard warriors making lists of liberals that they want to incarcerate. And they're going to start at the top. They want to go after George Soros, who has done absolutely nothing wrong. And they just cannot stand him for two reasons. Number one, he's Jewish, but also there are these murky linkings between Israel and some of these far right people. And George Soros is not a supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu or Israel. He's for human rights for everybody. So there's this anti Semitism component to that that's always been there, combined with. Soros is not beholden to anybody, even the country of Israel. All right, next up, this goes on. So we've seen this propaganda here start this conspiracy to erode civil rights. I played it from the President. And then we've gone to the vice President, we've gone to Stephen Miller, who is the top advisor. And now we go to the propaganda arm of this regime. And here we have Jesse Waters play the clip.
F
These people are incapable of turning the temperature down. So it's our responsibility to do it for them, for the safety of the country and for their own safety. Their heinous movement should be politically destroyed, systematically dismantled. Their financial backing should be bankrupted, their media sponsors defeated in the marketplace, their candidates beaten at the ballot box. And their acolytes in academia, behind the pulpit, in city councils, in corporate America will be spotlighted and given one chance to confess and apologize. And if they don't, thrown out of polite society. We cannot live with people and work with people like this. They can't teach our children. They can't be trusted with power and positions of authority.
C
You are those people.
B
They are those people.
C
Jesse Waters was saying war. He was declaring war.
B
That infuriates me.
C
I'm livid.
B
So this is. This is, as you can see, the coordination that I have pinpointed in this episode from the top to the heir apparent to the machinator, the evil machinator, Stephen Miller, who has said he thinks the population of the United States should be around 100 million, so that people don't have to wait in ERs as long and can see the doctor. We have a country of 340 million people right now, you guys, this is as serious as it gets. And I see that some people are like, we need to move on and get back to the Epstein files in a real time. We should. But Congress has abdicated their power. The courts have abdicated their power. And everybody is beholdening the executive, a very old, not in good health executive. And these are the heir apparents. And it is very important for these fascist regimes to have a propaganda arm. And you have Rupert Murdoch, who was born in Australia. And I love, I love all of our Aussie listeners, but think about for the America first people. You have Elon Musk, born in South Africa, Peter Till, born in Germany, raised in South Africa. You have Rupert Murdoch, Australian. These people, if I'm a MAGA person and I'm a real American and who's not a real American, we have all of these people coming over here deciding they don't like the way our country is and they want it dismantled. And they just want to exploit and take away civil rights and erode civil rights. And here's how, you know, everything that the right wing rage baiters do is complete, total and utter bullshit. It's performative rage to rile people up, to think that the liberals want everybody dead. And we have all these transgender terror cells. We want you to have health care, you dipshits. We want your rural hospital to be open. We want your rural schools to be funded. We want people to be able to go to college from rural America, from inner cities, and not be drowning in debt and parasitic corporations that just suck off the taxpayer. But here's how we know it's put this up. Donald Trump skips the Kennedy Center's vigil for Charlie Kirk, choosing instead to do a weekend away at his golf club in New Jersey. And Century Centrism fan account says it's hilarious. Hilarious that right wingers were going around screaming at businesses for not lowering their flags. And meanwhile, Trump himself was like, eh, I have to play golf. I'm good. So this is how you know, I mean, this is, this is how you know, so much of this is. They don't want to get to the core issue of why somebody went to a university and was shot. They don't want to get to the core issue as to why Democratic lawmakers and their dog were shot in their home. They don't want to get to the core issue as to why Timothy McVeigh years ago bombed a federal building. And previous FBI directors spoke about the greatest risk in the United States right now was right wing extremism. And this was Christopher Wray, who was appointed by kanks in Trump 1.0. All of this is going to be erased. The enemy, when he ran, he said it. I'm going to weed out the enemy from within. And we are at a very dangerous point right now. They are priming the public to come after speech and assembly. That's what they're doing. And I don't know where the Democratic leadership is, but we're going to keep coming here every day while we can and keep trying to spread the message. Democrats support democracy. Democrats oppose gun violence in all of its forms. Democrats want you to have health care. They want billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes. We want to have a path for hard working good people that come over here and open up businesses to not get sent to a place where the president jokes around about them getting eaten by an alligator. I think that's cruel. I think that's insightful. I think that's dehumanizing. And so they can continue with lying about who the left is. They can continue all they want to. But at the end of the day, even the people that vote against us, we want your life to be better. That's all we have for today. And we'll be back later with more news.
Episode: Trump and Vance Are Priming US For a Full-On Dictatorship
Date: September 16, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
In this charged and sharply critical episode, Jennifer and Angie, progressive voices based in a red state, examine what they perceive as an orchestrated effort by Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance ("Lil Smokey"), and their allies to prime the American public for a dangerous erosion of civil rights and the rise of authoritarianism. They respond to recent political rhetoric following the murder of Charlie Kirk, dissect the coordinated messaging from top Republican figures, and warn of the existential threat they believe is posed by the current administration.
On civil liberties:
“They are priming the public right now to erode civil rights.”
— Jennifer [00:30]
On state violence:
“What he’s talking about now is a completely militarized police force that can act with impunity.”
— Angie [02:37]
On silencing dissent:
“He thinks any dissent should be penalized. And I’m terrified of all this.”
— Angie [03:34]
On right-wing unity narrative:
“We can only have unity with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable…and dismantle the institutions that promote violence…”
— J.D. Vance (clip) [05:47]
On propagandist tactics:
“This is a classic propagandist gaslighting … their solution is going to be to erode civil rights. They are going to make it illegal to disagree with the administration.”
— Angie [10:48]
On the propaganda arm (media):
“Jesse Watters was saying war. He was declaring war.”
— Angie [16:08]
On progressive values:
“We want your rural hospital to be open. We want people to go to college and not be drowning in debt… We want your life to be better.”
— Angie [16:15–end]
Jennifer and Angie’s episode is a rallying cry against what they see as a growing authoritarian threat, linking top administration rhetoric, right-wing media propaganda, and coordinated outrage into an explicit warning to listeners: Rights are at risk, and the time to resist is now. For those seeking a progressive take on current American politics—with humor but unvarnished concern—this episode is both a diagnosis and a call to action.
