Trump has turned on Lauren Boebert because if you're in the MAGA cult long enough and you just say something even remotely true, he has a stage five meltdown. Pop this up. Is anyone interested in running against weak minded Lauren BOEBERT In Colorado's 4th congressional district? You remember Lauren moved to the district when it became obvious that she couldn't win in her original congressional district, the third. A carpetbagger indeed. Boebert is campaigning for the worst Republican congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie of the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. And anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good primary fight. Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my honor to withdraw that endorsement and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know or announce your candidacy and I will be there for you. President Donald J. Trump and so here's what I have to say. I agree she does need to be primaried. I don't find myself agreeing with the President that much, but she seems like a hypocrite to me. Going from the Beetlejuice vaping and a hand job at the same time in a public theater and family values quoting the Bible, Big MAGA Thumper. I just, I think she's a total hypocrite. I agree. President Trump lets primary Lauren Boebert put up a crazier person. Perfect.
C
Can you find a crazier person?
B
Yes. It exists in maga. There's no question.
C
Here's what I find so interesting about this Trump got brought remember when all the Epstein files about the release was coming out, he took her into the Situation Room to try to push her to vote against the release of the files. And then because she did release the files, he withdrew like gazillions of federal dollars for helping Colorado perfect Colorado people. I think it was like A water deal. And I'm like, this man does not give a fuck about the American people. He is not able to say, you know, she voted against me on this issue, but this is best for the people of Colorado. Oh no. He just gets, he is the pettiest. And I, I admire petty sometimes. Not in him. It is not a good look for the President.
B
No, because it's, it's all wrapped up in this weird cultish adoration that everybody has to have for him. It's like there's no critical thinking. She sucks. But the race between Massie and his opponent have, has become the most expensive House race in history because of apac. Pop this up. AIPAC and other pro Israel groups have spent over 9 million to unseat representative Thomas Massie in Tuesday's GOP primary, while Trump aligned donors and super PAC spending have helped push total ad spending past 32 million, making it the most expensive House primary on record. And so what I have to say about this situation is I'm very concerned about the right wing anti Israel movement. I do not feel that this is based in a human rights position. I feel like it is raced, it is based in, in bigotry. And I'm fearful that because the Republicans are so diabolical the way they fight, they're like, we don't give a shit. We don't have principles. We will lie. We will get our message out via whatever means necessary with zero integrity that the Massey's. And I appreciate, I want to say I appreciate that he appears to have clarity on this issue. I appreciate that he worked with Ro Khanna in a bipartisanship effort. I just am very worried about any former MAGA person like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson. I just know, I know these type of white people and they will flip on you. They will flip. They might find, you know, a little bit of a point, but they will flip on you and fuck you so hard. I know these people and I just don't trust it now.
C
It's hard to trust. But I do, like you said, I do think it's admirable that Thomas Massie has stood up for victims and survivors of. Because that's really hard to do in the GOP because Mike Johnson, you know, he won't do it. No one, I mean there's like a handful women and Thomas Massie, that's it. And then you hear all, you know, Congress sounds like it is a cesspool of just running amok, sex rings and all kinds of crazy shit. So I do admire that when I Look at these primaries that the Trump administration and all his allies are against a sitting Republican. I just think so. The person running against them is a thousand times worse.
B
Which is perfect.
C
Yeah, perfect.
B
I want them to put their best crazy forward in every single race. I want if Boebert isn't crazy enough, out crazier. Put the craziest mfer at the point position in all of these races. Keep out crazing each other, keep doing it. And then sadly then my next thing is the Democrats have to use this and weaponize their insanity and their stupidity to create a blue tsunami and hopeful that the Democrats that are not beholden to the same super PACs that fun fascism will rise up and really fight dirty. And talk about Lauren Bobert being a huge hypocrite that gives blowjobs in a movie theater while then getting in her car or on camera quoting the Bible. Which is it Lauren? Which is it? Are you a good Christian lady or do you like doing hand jobs in public? Because you can't be both. I, I mean you can be, but if you're going to be in Congress, pick, you know, public blowjob giver, hand job giver or lady of Christ. Which is it Lauren? Because I can't. The schizophrenia of that is making me have whiplash and this is something that I think is really important. So Gen Z is really getting dicked over on on so many fronts. Number one, their parents helicoptered them too much. Number two, they are taking on all of this college debt. They are facing a horrible job market Covid wrecked their huge portion of their childhoods and lot of them are graduating now. And these arrogant AI companies, MAGA supporters are trotting out commencement speakers that are trying to promote AI and it is completely backfiring because Gen Z hates AI. Here is an AI speech from former Google CEO. This guy's worth I think it's something like $47 billion somewhere in that ballpark. Play the clip. Intelligence we do not know. We do not know the precise contours of what this if you'd let me make this point, please. Choose a diversity of perspectives including the perspective perspective of the immigrant who has so often been the okay, so there he's comparing AI as a replacement for immigrants. And Schmidt is a longtime Democratic donor who has tried to play patty cake with this administration. We've seen this a lot where people have been lifetime Democratic donors and then they, they get broken. There's something about being a billionaire and the exploitation involved in that that causes some sort of moral psychosis and Schmidt has completely, completely fallen prey to this. And after Supporting Harris in 2024, Schmidt quickly proposed a deal to Trump. No conviction. None, zero. And that's what I hate about a portion of the American public, the people who do not have conviction. I think it is the worst character defect on the planet. Schmidt's one of them AI models and national security benefits in exchange for fast tracking energy supplies to the tech industry. And then Ryan, our producer, looked up his actual net worth 64.3 billion. Good on the people. I believe that was the Arizona University of Arizona booed him because, I mean, you know these guys to go sit there and talk about AI when it's, I mean, what's his name, Jeff Bezos has made billions of dollars and he's firing people. He has gotten richer because of Donald Trump. And this whole trickle down economics thing is it's all that immigrants was going to take your job. It's always been the robots, it will always be the robots.
C
Well, and another thing with all this AI stuff is you have students that are graduating from college that can't find a job. And it's because there's all this AI push. And so the job market is going to be less and less for these young people because of AI. And, and now not only are billionaires insufferable and broken, they want to take all of the power away from the people and they want to have it. They want to be the ones that say, well, this is how our government should work. We need AI to take over the government because then it'll work for us. And it's really stunning and I appreciate the fact, because they're feeling it and living it, that these young students are saying, no, we are not going to listen to this horseshit. And I'm just going to go on record, if I had some $63 billion, there is no way I would not take that you money and shove it up Trump's ass before I would make him a trophy and run in and get down on my knees to that pathetic piece of.
B
Yeah, and I would just say it's not that the tech giants want the power, they already have it.
C
Right?
B
They've had it for a long time, even before Trump, since Citizens United. When you think about the Republican argument that, well, can't help people, we can't help people with health care, we can't help people with SNAP benefits, you know, because then they'll be like, oh, they're lazy and they're horrible Americans and how parasitic. But every chance the Republican Party and the Democrat, Democratic Party gets. They sure are bending over and offering all of this assistance for corporations. Corporations get all sorts of social safety net, all sorts of it. And if any human being gets it. No, because there is a portion of a large portion of people in this country, particularly in the political class, that value profit over human beings. And that is a bipartisanship offer there. And this wasn't the first time that this happened over the weekend. Also, there's a vid. I'm sorry, this video is from earlier this month at the University of Central Florida. Play the clip. Exciting, very exciting. And let's face it, change can be daunting. The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution. Oh, What happened? Okay, so she's like, oh, what happened? And it shows you that these people get really inside their bubbles where they really think like, you know, they're sitting around the group of a table and all these people are like, oh yeah, we're gonn lean into AI. We're going to do all this. She was like, oh my God, what's happening? She hadn't heard that. A lot of people don't want AI. They don't like what it's going to do to the environment. They don't like what it's going to do to human connection. You can listen to any TED Talk or just a cursory purview on what helps human beings have longevity. And it's human connectivity that is not a very difficult process to grasp. We are handing them a future that is worse. Worse for opportunity, worse for economic development, worse to buy a home, worse to get out of debt. We are handing them a worse world with climate change and human rights violations and the dismantling of democracy. So then the, the fascists that are funding the whole thing think they can trot out and talk to these kids. It shows you how well that works in uneducated circles like in maga, you know. And we have more details on the alcoholic FBI director and his country music sensation girlfriend. Update you on. I'm sorry, alleged alcoholic and country music sensation? I would say alleged, but Cash Patel said she was. Even though we can't find any corroborating evidence to back it up. Let's pop this up. FBI Director Cash Patel flew his girlfriend on the FBI's Gulf Stream 5 to a country music concert in Philly and watched from a private suite that costs up to 50, $50,000. The New York Times reports they went to see George Straight and Chris Stapleton at Lincoln financial field on May 10. The FBI flight crew and Patel security detail collected overtime pay, waiting until past 11pm for the couple to leave the concert. Patel refused to say who paid for the suite. The FBI told the Times that Alexis Wilkins was, quote, an invited guest of the performers. Representatives for George Straight and Chris Stapleton did not respond to the Times when asked to confirm. Yak, yak, blah, blah. So here we have the whole waste, fraud and abuse and all of that was always a lie. Listener, you need to know that the whole waste, fraud and abuse was a ruse because Elon Musk was being investigated by I believe 11 to 13 governmental agencies. And he said on the campaign trail, if Kamala wins, I'll probably go to prison. We know if Kamala won, Trump would probably go to prison because Merrick Garland and Joe Biden's DOJ didn't do their job. So we're all living through this abusive hellscape. But Cash Elon Musk, it was never about waste, fraud and abuse. It was about shutting down the investigations into him, into his companies so he could still be on the government tip. And remember this. Remember when they browbeat lower income families? Remember that the parasites and the people who receive social services are corporations. They get tax breaks, they get subsidies, they get government handouts out the wazoo. And then when they're doing illegal or unethical, they can just pay an incompetent, dementia ridden president money and they can shut down the investigations into all the crimes they've committed. It has never, ever been working class of Americans that are, it's always been the billionaires, it's always been the elite. They are the ones that take out all of the handouts, pubs, you know,
C
the Cash Patel story is the, you know, the gift that keeps on giving. And you, what I try to wrap my head around is the people that work for the FBI. I mean, I know they've brought, they've gotten rid of a bunch of people, serious people that cared about the law and being unbiased and brought a bunch of bozos in. But this is our national security and threats that are online and all of these things that they're supposed to be monitoring. The FBI can't do that because they're looking through the Epstein files and they're running around with Cash Patel and they're trying to raise him when he's too drunk to, to, you know, answer his bat phone or whatever it is. It is a stunning fall from grace for the FBI. But I just, I have to go on record again. There is no way that the country music sensation would give Cash Patel the time of day without the use of private planes.
B
No question.
C
It's just not on the table.
B

The guy leading the hantavirus response is a penile implant expert. Pop this up. The Trump official in charge of the hantavirus response is a penile implant specialist who has repeatedly posted videos and images of his patients procedures online and he doesn't believe in vaccines. And here's the thing. I am always going to respond to this stuff. Moving forward is perfect. He is the perfect person for the dumbest, most racist, most idiotic Americans that vote for this. That is what you deserve and unfortunately we're all going to go down with you. But that is perfect. Donald Trump would never hire somebody qualified, somebody who was objective, somebody who valued the truth, somebody who valued justice, somebody who valued liberty, somebody who valued transparency, democracy, etc. He would never do that because he doesn't value any of those things. The United States in his mind is his. It is his country. The White House is his White House. The ballroom will be his ballroom. This, he thinks all of this is his. And to all of the Americans that vote for this, you seriously, you and the people who say, oh, he's betrayed us. He was this big of a piece of 11 years ago. And no, I'm not going to offer you an a, an off ramp and coddle you and French braid your hair But I am going to fight for you to have health care and I am going to. For you to have a right to vote and for everybody to have representation and not have a corrupt Supreme Court. And, you know, like the speaker of the House, this guy, this guy needs to be in a loony bin. He says God wakes him up in the middle of the night and talks to him. That's crazy. People say this is just an American face plant. This entire administration is all of the worst things about the United States of America. Racism, individualism, capitalism on steroids, all in the host body of the worst parasite of them all, which is Donald Trump. Because all he is doing is sucking off of every single one of us to enrich himself. And how much longer is he even going to live? Like, it can't even be that long.
C
No, and I suspect he thinks that. I mean, he's talking about his third term and all that. I think he doesn't. He can't wrap his head around him not being here. He narcissistic. If he dies, the rest of the world dies. Like the whole earth implodes at his death. That it can't go on without him. But I saw that and I just thought, well, of course, it's a perfect expert.
B
Perfect.
C
Exactly who it would be. It's perfect vaccines.
B
It's absolutely perfect that the teeny weeny brigade of Lil Marco Hegseth, Donald Trump, all the other, you know, all Howard Nutlik, all the teeny weeny brigade that they are tight as ticks, the penile implant physician and the favor. It's perfect. Yes, it's fucking perfect. All the alpha males with their penile implants. And you know, all over Twitter, there's always been all this rumor that Elon Musk, I don't know if it's true or not. It's just on his very own website, right, had a botched penile implant surgery and has been spiraling ever since then on ketamine. Again, I don't know if this is true. I just read it on x dot com. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe. We'll be back later with more news.
