• They urge listeners to recognize the regime’s unpopularity and demand media pushback:
  • “This is a toxic regime and they don’t have the support to do this. And we need to keep reminding everybody in the media and our listeners that their support is massively underwater.” (12:27 – Political Commentator 2)

[Zebra Insurance Advertiser]

Here at the Zebra, research shows the average person would rather endure a root canal than search for auto and home insurance. Just try to relax or be trapped in a car for eight hours with toddlers on a sugar high. Or remove a nest of irate hornets. That's why the Zebra searches for you. Comparing over 100 insurance companies to find savings no one else can Compare. [e-mail] we do the searching, you do the saving. I think I'll wait inside.

[Political Commentator 1]

Gavin Newsom is not taking any shit anymore. He has gone off on Trump and he is really standing up to him and beating him at his own game. Watch this clip. I just loved it.

[Patriot Site Host]

The hell is going on in this country. None of this is normal. You will be seen on my Patriot site new knee pads that I'll be sending out the new signature Siri knee pads for all these CEOs for the university of Virginia that I'll add to the list today for bending their knee for those law firms, the universities, media companies, as this guy's rolling back, you know, rewriting history, putting us back to pre1960s world censoring historic facts. Wake up, everybody wake up. Thank you, guys.

[Political Commentator 1]

I love that. And so his Patriot store is like Trump's flea market. And he has knee pads that have Donald Trump's signature on him and I fucking love it. And they sold out.

[Political Commentator 2]

It's hilarious how he delivers that. So deadpan too. He really has an absolute skill and he and some other governors are the ones who I believe are leading the resistance against this regime. But I think Gavin could really, really consolidate power if would really go full blown economic populist with this resistance message. That's the one component that's missing from him. But listen, beggars can't be choosers. Anybody who's standing up against fascism, we all have to lock hands. And then we can sift through where the party goes after that. If we can maintain having free and.

[Political Commentator 1]

Fair elections, which is the big if at this point. And so what does Sean Hannity do? He has his feelings hurt. The fuck your feelings crowd. This really bothers them. Play the clip from Hannity.

[Political Commentator 3]

And out west in California, Newsom still making his weird, cringeworthy social media posts. In a gross new post, Newsom publishing this image of knee pads of Trump supporters also bashing those who collaborate with the Trump administration, suggesting they won't get into heaven.

[Political Commentator 2]

Which this is just fucking crazy. I mean, the whole thing is crazy. And one thing that's been hilarious to me about Fox News is they keep talking about the no Kings march, and they keep talking about that it was grand tifa, like grandmas that are antifa or grandpas that are antifa, and that were all of these unhinged boomers. Okay? So remember before, it's Hamas, it's terrorists, blah, blah, blah. Well, then they see the crowds. They, as they're sitting there diminishing boomers and criticizing boomers that showed up to the new Kings march. I think it's something like the average age of the Fox News viewer is like 69, 72, somewhere in there. I mean, don't quote me exactly, but they are a boomer television station. But Sean Hannity, to sit there and criticize Newsom and say it's gross and it's disgusting is a full display of how this propaganda ar of this fascist regime does exactly what the regime does. We get to be gross, we get to be inappropriate, we get to make fun of people. But when you do it to us, we're going to have stage five meltdowns, and we're going to add you to the list of things that we're scared of, along with Bad Bunny, Stephen Colbert and Cracker Barrel.

[Political Commentator 4]

You know, I mean, these guys are.

[Political Commentator 2]

Just the biggest bunch of pussies on the planet. Man up. Sean Hannity, man the fuck up. You support this alleged big badass Donald Trump, who, you know, has AI in the fighter jet. He's playing Top Gun, and he's out there, you know, shit bombing everybody.

[Political Commentator 4]

Gavin Newsom shit talking back, and then.

[Political Commentator 2]

You just fucking, you know, get in the fetal position immediately.

[Political Commentator 4]

Do a tit for tat, man.

[Political Commentator 2]

Come on.

[Political Commentator 4]

That's all you got. That's as tough as these guys are.

[Political Commentator 2]

They get triggered that instantly and they.

[Political Commentator 4]

They capitulate to the fight because to me, it looks Gavin Newsom just owned him.

[Political Commentator 2]

Because Sean Hannity sitting there acting like the biggest baby on the planet.

[Political Commentator 1]

Well, and Sean Hannity is so defensive because he knows he needs knee pads as much as badly as anybody else because he has had his lips around Trump's dick from junk and he doesn't like it. It bothers him, which I just find delicious. And in talking about the governors really coming out and being strong and against Trump, we have JB Pritzker who goes on Fox News. Good for him. Because it might be the other than Jessica Tarlov. It might be the only truth that.

[Interviewer 1]

They get many Democrats who pointed to Donald Trump before the 24 election saying he was challenging the integrity of the election by saying almost exactly what you're saying. About him. Now, why do you think he's going to steal the election?

[Interviewee]

What I'm telling you is you can just look back in his own history that back to 2020 after the election when he claimed fraud, he claimed it had been stolen from him. And he and Michael Flynn discussed, and Michael Flynn very publicly talked about maybe we should use troops and go in and seize the ballot boxes and count the votes. You don't think Donald Trump heard that and thought maybe that's a good idea? And here we are, he's sending troops onto the streets of American cities, into blue states, in blue cities and he wants to, he's calling it about crime.

[Interviewer 1]

But that's not saying this now that you are somehow challenging the integrity of election.

[Interviewee]

No, he is challenging the integrity of the next election. But yes, he is challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. That's what I believe this is about. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That is not what they're doing. They are literally going after black and brown people because of the color of their skin.

[Political Commentator 1]

How about Brett Barr trying to. I mean, there is zero integrity at Fox News, period.

[Political Commentator 2]

Yeah, I mean, that's just a Wednesday at Fox News. There hasn't been integrity at Fox News since they rolled out the fair and balanced bullshit and started radicalizing, you know, a large portion of the American public.

[Political Commentator 4]

Because facts have a liberal bias.

[Political Commentator 2]

Because when people find out the truth about what Republican policies do and how much they favor the 1%, they don't like them. And so they had to have a propagand arm. And this propaganda arm has been at this long before Trump and this television station primed the soil for a dipshit.

[Political Commentator 4]

Fascist to be able to walk in.

[Political Commentator 2]

And tear down the East Wing and tear up the Constitution and send American troops against Americans.

[Political Commentator 4]

And I just want to point out.

[Political Commentator 2]

One more thing to all my fiscal conservatives that sit around in freebase Fox News. Name me one big red city. Name it. Name one big red city that kicks ass economically. It doesn't fucking exist. When people live in cities and they live around multiculturalism, they become more open minded and more cooperative and less selfish and less greedy. A giant red powerhouse city doesn't fucking exist because the only way your shit exists is on Fox News. Out in rural America and out in gated communities, cookie cutter suburbs. That's it. That's the list.

[Political Commentator 1]

I completely agree with that. And then we see Trump going after his detractors. We see him Arresting James Comey, the Justice Department, all that bullshit. Adam Schiff apparently was high on the list. They've come back and said there's just no evidence to do it. He's not happy about it. But we have now got Pam Bondi on record saying they're going to investigate Nancy Pelosi. It's finally happened. Trump's getting his wish.

[Law Enforcement or Government Official]

Disclose the identity of a federal agent where they live, anything that could harm them. Pritzker, same ball game with him. And you know, Pelosi got a letter today from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch. So did Brooke Jenkins, that DA in San Francisco. We told them, preserve your emails, preserve everything you have on this topic, because if you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that. You're impeding an investigation. And we will charge them if they think I want. They have not met me because we will charge them if they are violating the law. We will protect our federal agents. They're out there working nonstop. You're showing right now during a shutdown. These people are out there working to keep California, Californians safe. Yet you've got Pelosi out there saying to obstruct their investigation. You can't do it. And we're going to investigate her now as well as that. D A.

[Political Commentator 1]

Is that not stunning?

[Political Commentator 2]

Here's the thing.

[Political Commentator 1]

What they're saying is we will arrest ICE agents that are breaking the law. And we are seeing more of this because they're masked. They think they have absolute power. They're guys that haven't passed background checks, that have criminal records because they're trying to get them in so fast. So they're breaking the law. And what California is doing in particular, Nancy Pelosi, is saying, we are not going to allow ICE agents to break the law. It's as simple as that. And they can't handle it because opposition, they don't like it.

[Political Commentator 4]

But what's happening?

[Political Commentator 2]

What's the larger narrative here? And the larger narrative here is now it's normalized that we are sending troops and agents and different arms of Trump's personal Gestapo into American cities, and we get to do whatever we want to there. And if anybody stands against us, then we're also going to charge you. This is a time where we have major geopolitical crises happening all over the world. Most of the time, America is the leader and the arbiter of peace in these situations. And they are more interested in carrying out Vladimir Putin's wishes for the United States of America, which is civil unrest. And this administration, everything that she did, the larger narrative is now we're just talking about the semantics of their civil.

[Political Commentator 4]

Unrest instead of the fact that this.

[Political Commentator 2]

Fucking fascist regime is sending troops into blue cities. And to all of my industry titans out there, this, these are your economic hubs.

[Political Commentator 4]

You're fucking yourselves.

[Political Commentator 2]

And journalists and other people that engage in this like it's normal are a problem. Nothing about this is normal. Nothing about sending ICE agents and the.

[Political Commentator 4]

Troops into American cities without state cooperation.

[Political Commentator 2]

For my states rights, fiscal conservatives, constitutionalists, nothing about this is normal.

[Political Commentator 4]

So I won't even have a conversation as to the tit for tat of this. Because the driving force of this, of.

[Political Commentator 2]

This fascist regime is we are going to incarcerate, deport and investigate anybody that disagrees with us. Because we are not just the Gestapo or ICE or the troops.

[Political Commentator 4]

We are the thought police.

[Political Commentator 2]

And you can't not like us. We're going to force you to like us, which is the most pathetic mean girl shit on the planet. These. This is a toxic regime and they don't have the support to do this. And we need to keep reminding everybody in the media and our listeners that their support is massively underwater.

[Political Commentator 1]

Right? And if it wasn't, they wouldn't be so upset about opposition, in my opinion. So thanks for listening. Please like subscribe. You can buy our book, there's a link below pinned to the show notes and it's also available on audiobook. And we will see you later with more news.
