Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan

Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Frustration With Democratic Response
- Both hosts express deep disappointment with Democratic leaders for, in their view, failing to meaningfully oppose Trump and his administration.

- They mock Democrats playing "patty cake with fascists" and accuse them of being beholden to corporate donors.
- Specific example: Criticism of Democrats for not outright rejecting Trump’s appointment of controversial figures and failing to oppose symbolic gestures like the Trump 2028 hat during Oval Office meetings.
Notable Quote

Memorable Moments and Quotes

[01:02] Progressive Commentator:
“Here is Jeffries in the Oval and they have positioned Trump 2028 hats. Jeffrey should have stood up, said ‘fuck you,’ and turned around and walked out immediately.” -
[07:05] Donald Trump:
“Only in recent decades did politicians somehow come to believe that our job is to police the far reaches of Kenya and Somalia while America is un under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult... ” -
[09:19] Progressive Commentator:

3. Critique of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Leadership
-
The hosts are scathing about Hakeem Jeffries’s response to Trump’s provocations.
- Jeffries, when questioned about the infamous Trump 2028 hat:
[03:28] Hakeem Jeffries:
“Well, actually, he did not try to hand Leader Schumer and I the Trump 2028 hat. He just randomly appeared in the middle of the meeting on the desk. It was the strangest thing ever.” - Progressive hosts view Jeffries’s calm and businesslike reaction as feckless, accusing him of being “compromised” and too corporate-aligned.
- Jeffries, when questioned about the infamous Trump 2028 hat:

The show references a pointed critique from Senator Chris Van Hollen against Jeffries:
- [05:26] Progressive Commentator quoting Van Hollen:
“If you can't back the kind of campaign he ran, quote, don't ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country. That's the message that will be sent. And he is exactly right.”
- [05:26] Progressive Commentator quoting Van Hollen:
4. Calls for Stronger Opposition
- Jennifer and Angie advocate for an unapologetically aggressive stance:

Notable Quotes
- [03:48] Progressive Commentator:
“You can't come out and swing at this thing and say, enough, we're not doing this anymore. So here we have. Next up is Senator Van Hollen, who is adding on and piling on to Jeffries.” - [07:31] Progressive Commentator:
“This is where Hakeem should have a press conference and start calling him a fascist... Call out the fascist. Call out the Supreme Court for enabling fascist. And quit around, for God's sakes.”
5. Lament for More Forceful Democratic Figures
- Brief invocation of Nancy Pelosi as an example of a leader who would’ve been tougher on Trump:
“She took pride in going after Trump. She took pride in whipping together all of the members of her party and unifying a message that we're not going to stand for this.” (05:45)
6. Urgency and Final Rallying Cry
- The episode closes with an urgent appeal to fight for democracy, rejecting complacency and centrism:
- “This is the moment. The moment to do it. And it's so easy to draw a stark contrast in this guy. I mean, this is the shit that he says. It is a layup, so quit fucking around and let's start fighting for democracy.” (09:50)
