It'S election day in the USA and former Vice President Dick Cheney has died. I'm sending thoughts and prayers to his family, but I will remember and I want to remind you, I'm an atheist. I will remember Dick Cheney for the two following things lying in the lead up to the Iraq war so that he can enrich the military industrial complex. And also I will remember the campaign in 2004 when the Republican Party via Karl Rove put gay marriage on the ballot to feed the culture wars that we are fighting so much right now. And he had a gay, has a gay daughter. And as a parent I will never ever understand how people can say they love their children and then go out and support so much hatred and bigotry towards their gay children. It's just unbelievable. All right, moving along, speaking of bigotry and hatefulness, let's listen to nut job MAGA Congressman Representative Randy Fine who is having a stage five meltdown about Zoran.

Kanks
Mamdani called for for Zoran Mandami to be deported. The only thing I want to see him running for is his gate at JFK on the deportation flight to Uganda.

What a racist dick. And he is no difference than Nick Fuentes. There is no difference in this style of bigotry. They just cherry pick human rights and they cherry pick the only the human rights that affect them and they will not go to bat for anybody else. And this is the inherent cancer in the Republican Party pumps.

Guest/Commentator
Well here's the thing. The Islamophobia, they breed it in the Republican Party. You see, you know Laura Loomer has President Trump's ear and she's constantly, I mean the most hateful lies about Islamic people. And here's the deal. All of this from all these Republicans that have nothing to do with New York City, you know what that tells me? They're scared. They know how good he is. They know that working people like him. They know that triple Trumpers are going to go vote for him today. And they don't know what else to do about it because they're so limited in critical thinking skills. They have to go straight to racism.
- [03:32]
Pumps
Well, it also thwarts their efforts to use racism because the narrative in the United States for a very long time, and it's been rather effective, is that Muslim people have a bunch of wives and blow shit up. Okay, so then if you have this progressive candidate that is Muslim that walks in the pride parade with a trans flag, that stands up to the oligarchy and stands for universal human rights with no ambiguity in it, where it's I stand up for Jewish people and I stand up against anti Semitism, I stand up for Muslim people and I stand up against Islamophobia. I stand with the black and brown community, I stand with the trans community, I stand with women. All of these things are linked. And so it's a real optics problem for them to have a progressive mayor because then their Islamophobia is going to start falling flat and it's not going to be as successful for AIPAC to grift off of the American taxpayer to send bombs to Israel. So this is a 911 house is on fire for them because they have to keep Americans thinking all Muslims are a monolith. Which Zoran Mamdani proves is absolutely 100 false and that he's a bigger Christian than any Christian I've ever met. And he's Muslim. All right, moving along, Kanks participates in what is straight up election interference. He goes on live social and puts up this rambling. I'm not even going to read it to you. But in summary, Pumps, he basically says that if Zoran wins, he is not going to send money to New York. This is straight up election interference. That's what it is. Any other candidate, any other president would be called out. Corporate news would be stage five meltdown. But for some reason this white guy is always allowed to do this kind of to black and brown and marginalized people and everybody gives him a pass and spikes the story.

Guest/Commentator
Well, I think that part of it is that a lot of the people, I mean, obviously a majority of the Republicans, they feel the same way. They are just as racist and homophobic and misogynistic as he is. But the corporate media, he's got all his Buddies in place. He's now going to turn CBS News into a state run media Fox style enterprise. So it that there are certain news channels, it surprises me that they are not blasting him, but over, you know, he's got social media cronies, he's got CBS News now he's got Fox. And they, Fox viewers agree with him. They like it. They think he's a tough guy. It's so disgusting. But I think in New York, they're smarter. And Donald Trump coming out against Zora Mondami makes them more, you know, more apt to vote for him. Just my opinion.

And he has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the most bizarre way. He has said, I would rather vote for a bad Democrat and endorse a bad Democrat, that's what he calls Andrew Cuomo, than a communist. And everybody knows that doesn't watch Fox News, that Zoran Mamdani is not a communist, and that basically democratic socialism is highly regulated capitalism. And I wish the branding of that would be a little different because there's been a decades long, long effort to people that don't know what socialism is. For them just to think it's, oh, that's demonic, that's crazy. But nonetheless, Cuomo calls into this radio show and they're talking to him and they ask him, the interviewers, they tell him that Trump called him a bad Democrat and said that he would endorse him. And Andrew Cuomo hangs up. Watch this clip.
- [07:44]
Kanks
Boy was just on 60 Minutes. Cuomo saying that you're his guy. No, first of all, Trump said you're his candidate. If he had to pick a bad Democrat or what did he say? Or Communist. Or a communist, he's picking you.
- [08:06]
Host/Announcer
Hello?
- [08:07]
Kanks
I think that he was. They cut him off. I think he had to. That he had to rap.
- [08:13]
Pumps
Oh, I really wanted to hear that answer. That's what I was gonna ask you.
- [08:20]
Kanks
Ebro just got spicy.

Pumps
Okay, this is what I'm just so sick of with the Democratic Party. We need party unity. And the fact that a lot of Democrats endorsed or silently and passively endorsed Andrew Cuomo. We have to be the party that says, look, New Yorkers went and voted. This guy won by double digits in the Democratic primary. He beat Andrew Cuomo by 13 points. Andrew Cuomo has a very Trumpian past. He's been endorsed by Trump, Musk and all the other fleabags in the MAGA movement. And we want as much daylight between us and them as possible. And we hear you, voters, we hear you that you are sick of the system being rigged for billionaires. And these billionaires that are engaged in these histrionic meltdowns right now are going to be just fine. And if you want to pack your toys up and move to Florida and live in Kitten Hills, depraved state, swing for the fences, big guys. Do it. Leave. It's just pathetic that there isn't unity in the Democratic Party behind him. And I find no joy in calling out the Jeffries, the Schumers, or the Cory Bookers. It's not fun. I want to be able to say, yes, this is my political party. Everybody's united against these fascists, and no, we're not going to have an Andrew Cuomo. He lost. You need to gracefully congratulate your opponent and then pull out of the race altogether. And then as a Democrat, you're supposed to endorse your primary opponent. And again, there is this Trumpian overlap with Kanks and MAGA in the Democratic establishment. This is the kind of stuff that would happen in maga. And, and MAGA excuses it. And as a Democrat, I am not going to excuse the politicians that have not robustly endorsed Zoran Mamdani. You can very easily say, look, he's further left than I am, but I hear the people and I believe in democracy and I endorse him. And Andrew Cuomo lost, needs to package toys up, and he's threatening to move to Florida, which tells you how important New York is to him. Right. And move on down the road.

Guest/Commentator
Well, I look at it and I think, is the Democratic establishment so threatened by the message that Zorin has carried to the people and that they have embraced his constituents? Have embrace. Are they so scared about it because they're unable to deliver it, because they have to be backed by all the corporate donors? And if they're not going to listen to the people, the Democrats are a lot smarter, they're more informed, they're well, critical thinkers. They're going to leave that establishment. And, and I'm just going to say again, the establishment lost us in 2024, the house, the Senate, and the presidency. So they need to sit down and shut the fuck up.
- [11:30]
Pumps
And I also think a lot of this pumps has to do with apac. And so when you look at AIPAC donations, AIPAC and its affiliates spent the same amount of money that Elon Musk did. A Democrat should say, you preferred Donald Trump to win. You prefer fascism. You prefer the exploitation of the American taxpayer for your. Your ethnic cleansing plans in the Middle East. Therefore, your money is toxic. And I'm not going to take it because it does not help my constituents. But they won't do it. The power of this lobby is astonishing. There are people on the right that are very bad actors that do not agree about universal human rights, that bash Israel for the sake of just being anti Semitic and not for standing up for Jewish people and for justice and for human rights, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, like Nick Fuentes, like Tucker Carl Carlson and now the Heritage foundation and Booker Jeffries and Schumer and not having moral clarity on this issue and for taking money from an organization that donated the exact same amount as Elon Musk did is the equivalent of, of Booker, Schumer and Jeffries taking money from Elon Musk. It would be toxic. That'd be thrown out of the party. And so we have to keep calling them out because I believe that's what's at the core of this. And a brave politician would be like Zoran and would say, look, I'm Muslim. I've fallen prey to bigoted attacks, to xenophobic attacks. So because of that, I understand anti Semitism and I unite with Jews in eradicating all of these bigotries because they are all connected. And that is the only acceptable answer. You cannot cherry pick. This group's rights are paramount to this group's and so on and so on, because ultimately the knives get thrown and aimed at the other groups. All right, listener, the air has turned crisp. The holidays are drawing near. Comfort becomes the absolute best gift of all. And that's why I love Quince, because they deliver layers that last. They've got sweaters, outerwear and everyday essentials that feel luxurious, look timeless and make holiday dressing and gifting effortless. Quince has it all. I personally love their 50 Mongolian cashmere sweaters made for everyday wear, denim that never goes out of style and pumps. Loves the washable silk tops. They're so great to pair with a blazer. And you guys, it's getting chilly, really chilly. And Quince has these great Italian wool coats. They are at the top of my list. I'm going to order one right after we record this episode. So listeners, step into the holiday season with layers made to feel good, look polished and last from Quince, perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself.

So we have Kanks that endorsed Andrew Cuomo, who has, I think 13 women have accused him of sexual misconduct. Correct. And here we have Kanks on video and he's pretty upset about what's happened to Prince Andrew. And pumps, it has been revealed that Prince Andrew, on a trip to Asia in a think it was a 24 or 48 hour period, had a gaggle of 40 prostitutes. 44, zero in and out of his room. King Charles has found out about this. He's kicking him off the royal tit, so to speak, evicting him from his house. But let's hear what the gop, the Guardians of Pedophiles leader, has to say about Prince Andrew. And then I've got to get Pump's take on this.
- [15:59]
Kanks
Prince Andrew in the UK has had his royal titles stripped away because of the Epstein scandal. I know you're close to the Royal Family. Do you have any thoughts? I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation and it's too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.
- [16:24]
Guest/Commentator
I'm stunned. I mean, not really because he, he was on the committee for Prince Andrew, if I'm remembering correctly. But for him to say he feels badly, he feels badly for the family. What about the family of the victims? What about the women that were trafficked? He doesn't give a shit about them because women are disposable. And let me just tell you this right now, for him to sit there and defend Prince Andrew, after all that has come out about Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein only further confirms how deep, how cankles deep he is into this and he sees it's coming. And I'll tell you what, the British public has gotten a lot of these emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew. And let me just tell you this, I went down the rabbit hole on a plane this weekend. You know who they're alleging to have leaked all these emails about Prince Andrew to the British press? Ghislaine Maxwell. That sound familiar to you? The one who's sitting over in a country club prison. So that tells me Trump is fucking scared because he knows everything that's going on with Prince Andrew. It's going crazy coming for him. It is coming for him.
- [17:46]
Pumps
And you know, it's interesting because we can do an episode like this and you're talking about the New York mayoral race. And we're talking about democracy and we're talking about xenophobia. And the Epstein is is linked to all of this because you it exposes the moral rot in Republican leadership. Just everyday Republicans that look the other way at this. And then how in my opinion this is link the Democratic establishment is you wouldn't take money from Elon Musk because he would have spent a billion dollars if he had to and it would have affected his life. Zero Right. But you take money from the same entity that promotes a guy that protects pedophiles and that's just really, really telling to me. Benjamin Netanyahu specifically wanted Kings to win because he knew he would be much easier to manipulate. All right. And lastly, I'm going to leave you with the post of the MAGA meltdown over Zoran Mamdani because they are so racist and such billionaire ass kissers. It's pathetic. These are pathetic, pathetic, pathetic people. Put up the headline House Republicans exploring ways to prevent mom Donnie from being sworn in as New York City Mayor if he wins on election day. And Max Burns says totally normal in a free society. Of course he's being deadpin there, but this is why it makes me so mad. Yep. At Booker Schumer and Hakeem. Hakeem was very late to the party, which tells you everything you need to know. Booker and Chuckles Cricket still on this. And you provide comfort and permission structures for this racism. And if you really give a about Jewish people, the most supportive thing you can do is call out the Israeli government and the war crimes that they are committing and the exploitation of American taxpayer dollars through buying off politicians. That is the most supportive thing you could do. Because I know this. Because the most supportive thing anybody can do for America and Americans is to call out this fascist regime. Call it exactly what it is. Call out the Nazi tendencies and actions and parallels of this administration and stand up for universal human rights and stand up for democracy. But there are people within the Democratic Party that play patty cake with twats like this. And that's why posts like that pumps exist. All right, listen.
