MAGA is going to shade at the midterms. All signs are there. The gerrymandering, the ice, the SAVE act, this is all they know how to do. Elon Musk has already said, oh, I'm going to donate hundreds of millions. And he acts like he's this, you know, he cares so much about the integrity of elections. Even the Heritage foundation, who knows, they've done a ton of investigations in into voter fraud. They found very few instances. Most of the time it's some Republican trying to vote twice. And even they know the information is false. Even they are putting out all of this stuff about voter fraud. President doesn't want people to do mail in voting. Just a couple days ago, he voted via mail. Palm beach elections. So Steve Bannon is a political strategist. I would love to call him a dipshit, but he's not. He's smart, he's diabolical, and he's a whacked out Christian nationalist, but he is a machinator of diabolical proportions. And he and Mike Davis are saying the quiet part out loud. And MAGA always does this, but the left doesn't listen. They always say, oh, that's some French thing. That's not going to happen. That has to be a fringe ideology. It's not. Listen to these people. Play the clip from what the mainstream media said to blow up today. We can use what's happening with these. ICE helping out, helping out at the airports. We can use this as a test run, as a test case to get to really perfect ICE's involvement in the 2026 midterm election. Sir?
B
Yeah, I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places because if you're an illegal alien, you can't vote. Right? It's against the law. It's a federal crime for you to vote in federal elections. And so if you're an American citizen, you should be happy that ICE is there because you're not going to have illegal aliens canceling out your vote.
A
Okay? No illegal aliens are voting or canceling out voting. This is a lie. They want to intimidate and suppress voters. But this is not new to this country. Right? And this is the important part that the electorate has to absorb. They have been doing this to black people forever, every campaign, forever. They do this to black people. If you look at the disparity in polling places, this in black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods, if you look at the white waiting time in black neighborhoods versus white neighborhoods, the Republican Party has a, a problem with diversity and they know it. And the More people vote, the higher voter turnout is, the more Democrats win. And they know this because they've studied it. So what are they going to do? They are going to cheat. But here is the fundamental problem listener. When you as an American say, oh, America works for me, I'm able to go to my voting booth and I vote, no problem. And I'm able to let my sons get pulled over by the police. And I tell them, you tell the cop you have rights and you don't listen to him and you're not going to do a thing without your lawyer. And you don't listen to a marginalized group of the population. You're saying, hey, we're having a hard time voting. We're, we're waiting in line for six hours and we've got two jobs and they're suppressing our vote. We have a problem with over policing. When you don't listen to them, then it comes for you. So to every white American out there right now that is acting like this is new, clue in. It's not new. This is happening because we have refused to be a country that embraces universal human rights. And that includes, first and foremost voting.
C
And you think about just the election in 2024, the presidential election, bomb threats and election closing in predominantly black parts of Atlanta. You saw in the run up with Talarico and Jasmine Crockett in Texas in the primary, the lines were so long they couldn't accommodate him. The judge says they can stay. Everybody in line can vote. The Republicans immediately go in. They don't want people to vote. And that is why it is this whole SAVE act. After all of the things that they have done, they can't get the Save act over the finish line because even Republican voters are going to have problems voting. So they can't push the SAVE act over the finish line. So what's the next step? Military. And I will say this to people watching this podcast. I hate to give Jennifer any credit, but when she calls something that I am trying to deny, like Joe Biden's old, He can't run any election. She called it well before it was common knowledge. She has been sounding the alarm on ice being at these voting, the voting polling sites. We have to listen. I have long learned I have to listen to this woman.
A
Thank you, Pumps. I know that's painful. I know. I know when you've been friends as long as we have been friends, it's more fun to tease each other than it is to give the other credit. And so I appreciate how difficult that was. For you, my friend. But it's true. Once I started Provocations with the public, I said on this podcast, into Punts, he's going to do this at the voting booth. They are testing the grounds this. And now Steve Bannon is saying it. Why are they saying this out loud right now? Put up the next post. Kylie Robert Barnes post. Dems starting to open up double digit leads for the midterms, which would result in a 240/Democratic House seats, plus 52/Democratic Senate seats. Biggest blowout in the modern era. So this is their only option. And what's going to happen? And I'll quote little Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson, that little pipsqueak when he's not talking to God, he got in front of a camera and he said, if they take back the House, they're going to impeach President Trump. And I would say you're goddamn right. I hope, I mean, I hope that they are. I don't. I mean, I hope that Hakeem has that in him. I hope that they don't continue to do the same thing over and over and over and expect a different result. Not holding criminals to account and somehow thinking the system will fix itself. I mean, I hope that happens. But let's do a little check in with his counterpart, Chuck Schumer. Okay? This is the Senate Minority Leader. And he goes on, I believe, Morning Joe. And here's where his head's at with all of this stuff. Play the clip. Look at the Democrats approval ratings. They're pretty much the same as the President's. How do you account for that? You're the Senate, the Democrats majority leader.
B
People are upset in general, but I think the people are understanding, as you've seen in almost every by election that we've had over the last year, that Democrats are fighting for people on costs. The high cost of health care, the high cost of daycare, the high cost of electricity, the high cost of meat. When you go to the grocery store, we're doing that. And so we are fighting them and people get that. And that's why they're preferring us. The bottom line is I just.
A
Huh? All right, Chuck, where did you get that from? Daycare, groceries, affordability. Where did you get that? Is that from the Mayor of New York, a candidate that you refuse to endorse because you're such a hard line supporter of a war criminal? Benjamin Netanyahu and his government that genocides civilian populations because they think they're entitled to do so? They're not about Jewish safety. They're about Israeli supremacy.
B
Right.
A
And you yourself said that one of your main jobs as Senator is to make sure that Israel gets all the funding it needs, despite the party that you represent having a single digit approval for a war criminal. And here's what I'm going to say. Any Democratic leader, candidate, politician, spokesperson who cannot look the camera in the eye and say it cannot be the foreign policy of the United States of America to partner with a lying war criminal. It just cannot be. We cannot partner with a pathological liar. Benjamin Netanyahu. We've seen tape. 40 years of him lying about Iran being a couple of days away from a nuke. All lies. Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu gives a that Americans are dying over there. There was an attack on a British boat and basically the UN had to come out and say it wasn't the Iranians that hit was Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu is a diabolical psychopath of the highest order. And if the Democratic leadership cannot forcefully be the anti war party, I just don't know if there's any hope for this country. I hope to God the same people in the Senate. I'm talking about Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, Senator Warren and others, get Chuck Schumer the fuck out of the leadership position immediately. This poll I just showed you projects, 52 Senate seats. Could y' all try just one time, just one fucking time being fighters and saying, fuck this, Chuck Schumer is compromised. He is not the man of the moment. We appreciate you, Chuck. You're not going to lead the Senate right now. We're going to. Looks like we could get 52 seats. We're going for 60. We're going for 60 seats. And we are going to make sure that every single thing that this regime has done and we're going to turn Benjamin Netanyahu over to the icc. And if Trump pardons himself and all of these other people, we're going to turn all of them over to the icc. That is the type of leadership we need right now. Chuck Schumer borrowing from Zoron, who he wouldn't even endorse. He can't even say he opposes this war. Democrats get on camera, look the camera in the eye and say, I oppose this war. Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar and a war criminal and American taxpayers shouldn't pay for it. Furthermore, there is great intelligence out there that Jared Kushner and Witkoff are Israeli agents or assets. So I mean, just quit fucking around, Chuck. I just can't stand this guy. It makes me so fucking mad. That he's the leader of the opposition party. It's just maddening.
C
Well, there was so little opposition and I get frustrated that I don't see him out doing exactly what you said. And then I see him on this and it enrages me even more because I'm like, Chuck, I can think of 10 bullet points to go in there on fire, kick some ass. And you were tepid and you just, it's just astonishing. But here's the thing. I, I have seen and the candidates names escape me now. One of the things they're running on is I will not vote for Chuck Schumer as majority leader if the Democrats take the Senate. And I've seen a couple and I'm like, let's go.
A
Well, and everybody needs to remember this. And I say this time and time again. But it is an important fact that we have in our minds as we move forward. Oftentimes liberals, Chuck Schumer is a liberal. Collaborate with fascists to protect private investments. So they are corporatist first. And that's something that Trump, you see all the oligarchs surrounding him and then you see the lobbyist apac. Chuck has a lot of the same donors. He takes checks from the same lobbyists that fund lobby for Palantir and all of this surveillance state. So he is in fact a fascist collaborator. Which is why the people in the Senate that are saying, Liz, Chris, and Chris, do something, go on offense, control the narrative, start really fighting for democracy. And I know that you're all asshole buddies and you've been in the Senate for a long time, but he has got to go like there is the Democratic projected polling right now is simply because Trump is that bad, not because the Democrats are that good. And so this is what's so important that you need to realize about our partner Israel in this war. And their whole feature of military operations is war crimes. That's their default setting. That cannot be our partner. You cannot conflate Judaism or Jewish people with Israel. Those are completely separate things. Israel is worthy of all the criticism in the world. Donald Trump is worthy of all the criticism in the world. Chuck Schumer is worthy of all the criticism in the world. The United States of America, all the criticism in the world. Iran, all the criticism in the world. Israel falls in that same category. Pop this up. Glenn Greenwald post. Israel's defense minister said the IDF will do to towns in southern Lebanon what the IDF did to Gaza's Rafah and Beit Hanun. Total, complete indiscriminate destruction in Quotations flattened. This is our partner. This is our world's greatest ally. It's total. This is the country. This is the war criminal regime, the genocidal homicidal regime that the opposition leader Chuckles Schumer said, one of my main jobs as Senate leader is to make sure they get all the money they need. I'm sorry, Democrats, we have to be against this. You have to look in the camera and say this is not about Jewish safety. Benjamin Netanyahu is exploiting that. This is about Israeli supremacy and making a greater Israel in an Israeli hegemony at the expense of any sort of American hegemony. The fact that, that Vladimir Putin is helping the Iranians kill Americans in this whole thing, I did a whole episode on that a couple of days ago. It's just really unbelievable. Everybody in this war is getting something. The President's two Israeli assets, Jared, Kushner, Witkoff, all of their sons, President, sons, dumb and dumber. All of these people are making billions of dollars. Benjamin Netanyahu has to keep the country at war so that he can stay in power. This man is a fucking war criminal. Democrats, it is a layup. Look into the camera and say we oppose it. We cannot partner with war criminals. I just can't even believe the way the western media covers Israel and the way they cover Benjamin Netanyahu is just something the history books are not going to look very fondly upon. Every morning, you guys, when I prepare for I hip news, there's one app that I go to immediately. It is ground news. I go to my vantage plan. Why? Because they're basically the Spotify of news.

Headline says Tom Homan reveals Trump's master plan for deploying ice to airports to defeat schumer by helping TSA and cracking down on illegal aliens. The American Tribune.com well, because of my ground news vantage plan, I know this is a right leaning publication and get this, it says low factuality, a left leaning publication. Trump deploys ice at airports in the face of partial closure of the administration. Tells me this is left leaning and high factuality.

C
in all this, I see it in the United States with the government Benjamin Netanyahu is when you allow people to commit crimes and be lawless without accountability, there is no accountability for the war crimes that Benjamin Netanyahu has committed. There has been no accountability for Donald Trump his entire life. In a world where consequences matter, you have got to hold people to be accountable. And if you do not, you get
A
the kind of shit we're seeing now
C
with Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. And I'm not limited limiting it to them, but the reality is if people do not face consequences for their actions, they will become worse and worse and more emboldened to commit more and oppressive acts. And it's disgusting.
A
Yeah. And it's just important to note that any Democrat who is not 100 moral clarity on this issue, you are a fascist collaborator. Benjamin Netanyahu is a fascist autocrat. It's that he's, oh, I'm all about democracy. It's he is a liar. They cannot be our partner. We have so many problems domestically. He cannot do his goal of Israeli hegemony without the United States as a proxy. Therefore, that's why you hear about strikes, trying to bring other countries in on the war. Then they're blaming it on Iran. And then the UN guy who's this big one, the guy who said, oh, Trump's daddy, the guy from the Netherlands, even he said, no, it wasn't Iran that hit our boat. So that tells you who it is. It's Israel. And the media must report on it. Yes, there are the David Ellison's of the world that are donors to the idf. But Western media for a very long time has been very forgiving and provided cover and headlines of sane washing and sanitizing Israel. And it has nothing to do with, with Judaism or Jews or anything. This has been a Western media problem. And I want to be crystal clear on that. No other ally of ours, no other human rights violator would get this type of sanitation. And they have for decades. And when you open up your eyes to it and you see it, you cannot unsee it and then it bombards you all of the time. Because all of us at some point probably had steady diets of corporate news I know I did. And since the last election, a little bit before that, that I started, you know, going into more independent media spaces. And it's just very important that we cut through the propaganda and that we have moral clarity in this moment. Chuck Schumer is a fascist collaborator. He is a war criminal collaborator. Therefore, Chuck Schumer cannot be the leader of the opposition party. This is kindergarten politics right here, people. So I'm begging, Liz, Chris, Chris, Bernie, others, get him out. You will see the Democratic numbers surge. The one thing the Democratic Party is not understanding right now is how much the base has moved. And if you don't believe me, look at what happened in 2016. The Republican base had moved. The establishment didn't understand it. Corporate media, Fox News didn't understand it. They all did not want Trump to be the candidate. But something was happening in these independent spaces on the right now, on the left, we have these independent spaces. And I'm telling you guys, get rid of Chuck. You will infinitely be popular. Start controlling the narrative, Play offense. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: March 24, 2026
In this fiery and candid episode, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan dig deep into the latest political turbulence as Democrats break out with startling leads in polling ahead of the 2026 midterms. The hosts offer critical analysis and sharp commentary on Republican strategies to suppress votes, expose GOP plans leaked by Steve Bannon, and deliver an unfiltered critique of Democratic leadership—especially Senator Chuck Schumer’s stance on Israel and party strategy. The episode blends humor, exasperation, and calls to action for listeners seeking progressive, truth-driven takes amidst a rapidly changing U.S. political landscape.
MAGA’s Reliance on Voter Suppression:
Jennifer outlines the classic GOP playbook—gerrymandering, deploying ICE, pushing the SAVE Act, and leveraging big donors like Elon Musk to sway the elections. She notes that historical investigations into voter fraud reveal little evidence, mostly perpetrated by Republicans themselves.
The ICE Plan and Intimidation at Polls:
Steve Bannon’s strategy, now echoed audibly by other GOP actors, proposes using ICE agents at polling places under the guise of preventing illegal voting—a move Jennifer warns is intended to intimidate legitimate voters, particularly from marginalized communities.
Historical Context:
Jennifer calls out the blindness of many white Americans to the long-standing voter suppression tactics that have targeted Black Americans for generations. She warns that what’s ignored when it affects marginalized groups eventually spreads to everyone else.
Memorable Moment:
Democratic Polling Momentum:
The episode highlights up-to-the-minute polling showing Democrats opening double-digit leads, with projections of sweeping House and Senate victories.
GOP’s Last-Ditch Tactics:
With legislative options like the SAVE Act stalling, Jennifer and Angie predict the right will turn to military or paramilitary solutions (like ICE at polls) to preserve their dwindling power.
Schumer’s Tepid Response and Foreign Policy Failures:
Jennifer takes direct aim at Chuck Schumer (‘Chuckles’), eviscerating him for prioritizing Israeli interests over American and Democratic constituents, and for being weak on cost-of-living issues, foreign policy, and intra-party discipline.
Call for Stronger Democratic Fighters:
Both hosts urge Democratic senators like Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, and Elizabeth Warren to remove Schumer as leader and become the “anti-war party,” reflecting the new energy of the progressive base.
Intraparty Frustration:
Angie spotlights candidates openly refusing to support Schumer for majority leader—a sign, she says, of badly needed change and internal party realignment.
On Israel and Netanyahu:
Jennifer provides an unsparing account of Netanyahu’s leadership, labeling him a “diabolical psychopath” and a “war criminal,” and slams Schumer and U.S. Democrats for enabling and supporting Israeli actions without scrutiny.
Media Blindness and Propaganda:
The hosts lambast Western media’s “sanitizing” coverage of Israel, contrasting it with how other human rights abusers are reported, and urge listeners to seek out alternative and independent news sources.
Consequence-Free Politics:
Angie links the U.S.’s failure to hold Trump and Netanyahu accountable to a culture of impunity fueling greater lawlessness.
Challenge to the Democratic Base:
Jennifer implores progressive senators and leaders to seize the moment, arguing that the Democratic base’s energy is with those demanding change, not party establishment figures clinging to donor-driven centrism.

This is kindergarten politics right here, people.” | | 20:17 | Jennifer (A) | “Get rid of Chuck. You will infinitely be popular. Start controlling the narrative. Play offense. That’s all we have.” |
The hosts blend biting sarcasm, righteous anguish, and sharp wit—fluctuating between moments of dark humor and outright exasperation, especially when addressing Democratic leadership or right-wing tactics. The dialogue is blunt, explicit, and assumes a progressive, activist audience.
For listeners seeking a fearless, substantive, and emotionally charged breakdown of current U.S. politics—with particular focus on GOP suppression schemes and failures of Democratic leadership—this episode delivers both incisive commentary and quotable moments.
