You guys, we need to figure out what is going on with MAGA men and why they are so obsessed with drag queens, with women's gynecological appointments with trans people. They seem so consumed with pointing out and worshiping other men for their masculinity. And sometimes the answer is an art. And for those of you that watch White Lotus, I think White Lotus had a scene this past weekend that explains exactly what's going on in the repressed minds of all maga. Quote unquote alpha male. Listen to this.

Speaker D
One night I took home some girl, turned out to be a lady boy, which I'd done before, but this time instead of the lady boy, the lady boy me, that was kind of magical. And I got in my head, what I really wanted was to be one of these Asian girls getting by me and to feel that.
- [02:16]
Speaker C
So I really genuinely think when I saw this, I thought, this is kind of what we've been saying about these MAGA men. If you listen to right wing podcasters and right wing media, all they talk about are trans people. And then you have dipshits like Bill Maher who's like, the left has got to quit talking about trans people. I'm like the left. The people who talk about this all the time and have devoted their lives to it are right wing podcasters. And now bizarrely, Bill Maher, you. And the Freudian question in all of this is why? Why are you so consumed with this? And I think these MAGA men, this scene from the White Lotus, although fiction, I think it is a real window into the repressed mind of a MAGA male. The obsession with drag queens, the obsession with talking about masculinity. Jesse Waters spends every night talking about how studly or manly or not studly or not manly some man is that in and of itself is bizarrely not manly at all.
- [03:27]
Speaker E
Right.
- [03:28]
Speaker C
And so what is your take on that?
- [03:30]
Speaker E
Well, the first thing I thought of when I started seeing this is you have, what is it? Over 90%, maybe 95% of fundamentalist evangelical super Christians are MAGA. And why is that? They're sexually repressed. Being gay is bad. And they talk about it all the time, and they're trying to convince themselves it's bad because it feels good to them or they like it or there's some kind of turn on that they get because you never, ever, ever hear anyone but these MAG men talk about being gay or trans. And when I found out there are actually 10 athletes that are trans in the whole NCAA, I just thought, are you kidding me? You'd think there was an army.
- [04:16]
Speaker C
It's. It's unbelievable. But is the mind of the MAGA man who has to constantly talk about how masculine they are? Mark Zuckerberg goes on Joe Rogan to say that he feels neutered, which in and of itself is very emasculating. Do they like this character in the White Lotus? Are they into so. Were they so sexually repressed? And they're so diabolical in their pursuit of trying to reconcile their evangelical upbringing and love for their mother and Oedipus complexes, all of these things, that at the end of the day, the thought of a transgender person quite turns them on. There has to be something deeper here, because to devote your entire political life to hating trans people is not about trans people. No, it's about you and your own insecurity. And I just thought this was a really brilliant moment. And when he ever he did, whenever he said all that, I was like, this is kind of what we've talked about with these MAGA men. But I want to say, you know, Donald Trump, he worships and really idolizes Eva Peron. And if you'll put up the next clip, here he is at the Kennedy center having his moment.
- [05:34]
Speaker F
The Vice President got here at the Kennedy Center. I don't know about that. He's the most popular vice president we've had in years. I don't know anything about it. I figured you'd ask a question.
- [05:45]
Speaker C
Okay, here he is in his Don't Cry for Me Argentina moment, standing up there, and everything he does is mindfully produced for television. So he thought, apparently he saw the musical, don't you know, Avern. He saw it six times. So here he is standing up there and had the media down below him. And this is a classic maggot. What happened when J.D. vance got booed? For a minute, I don't think anything about it. He's the most popular vice president there is because Donald Trump has that girl that has the crush on him, that follows him around and makes him picture books about how popular he is and he's Mr. Congeniality.
- [06:23]
Speaker E
I think that this was number one. He, he has to know that the Kennedy center has bottomed out since he's now the leader of the Kennedy Center. He goes in there specifically without people. So he can't get booed because the press can't boo him, because the press is terrified of him. And he does his little don't cry for me Argentina moment. And then of course, I don't know anything about Project 2025. I. Nobody doesn't like J.D. vance. And I mean, how many times do we hear Melania was most popular first lady? J.D. vance is the most popular vice president. He just sits up there and fucking lies. None of that surprises me at all, full stop.
- [07:00]
Speaker C
Okay? Another thing I want to point out for all of these masculine alpha males and this needs to be democratic. Politicians need to start talking about this. Pumps and I are choosing every day to get behind these microphones and be in front of cameras. And one of the consequences of that is people say mean things about you in the comments section. That just is what it is. We don't get up here and, you know, get in the fetal position and boodle baby about it, because we are choosing to do this, multiply that times a billion. And that's what happens when you decide to run for President of the United States and you have a free press. This has always been very problematic for the thin skinned, fully emasculated, tiny hand, little titty baby Donald Trump because he can't handle it. So now his new approach with the press is to not answer the questions and then demean and dismiss them based on what news station they work for. And this to me, there's not a bigger on the planet than a man who cannot stand there and answer a question, think about football games, think about basketball games, think about tennis matches. Each team goes, hey, good, you know, good luck or good game, et cetera. This man thinks that he is above everything and criticism or any question that pertains critical thinking or could be perceived of being critical of him now he's just outright refusing to answer. Listen to this.

Speaker A
Criticized President Biden for using auto pin in the last few days.
- [08:35]
Speaker E
Have you yourself ever used auto pin, sir?
- [08:38]
Speaker F
Yeah, only for very unimportant papers and I don't call them unimportant. If you do letters where people write in and you know, they'd love to have a response or write responses and I'll sign them whenever I can, but when I can't, I, you know, would use an autopen, but to use them for, for what they've used them for is terrible. Who are you?
- [08:56]
Speaker E
Who are you with, sir? I want to see.
- [08:57]
Speaker F
That's the same, the same one. I don't want, I don't want to talk to NBC anymore. I think you're so discredited, Mr. President.
- [09:02]
Speaker C
Mr. President, most people, okay, what I have to say to that is, what a pussy.
- [09:07]
Speaker E
Yeah.
- [09:07]
Speaker C
You can't answer the question. You run for president and you can't answer the question. Then you try to run around and say who's masculine and who isn't masculine. The whole manosphere, like Donald Trump is such a wimp. He can't answer a question by NBC News. And this is your answer to all alpha male masculinity manosphere. Are you kidding me? Are these just the biggest small dick convention you've ever seen in your life? You can't answer a question from NBC News.
- [09:35]
Speaker E
Well, he doesn't want to answer questions from anybody because he thinks he's not to be held account for anything. And here's what's so funny. He pardoned that Rod Buddha judge or whatever. What was the guy's name, the governor that went to jail. Oh yeah, he pardoned him with no signature. He auto pins everything. He's a fucking liar. He lies and he doesn't ever account for it. He always blames everything on other people. He's a 78 year old billionaire that refuses to take criticism because he's so insecure. His dick is so little and his hands are so little. Fucking cannot stand him. Did you see the line in his makeup?
- [10:12]
Speaker C
Okay, so Vladimir Putin was supposed to meet with Trump today and he intentionally keeps him waiting and makes a mockery of him to say, hey, I have power over you. And think about that. Think about how much more powerful the United States is militarily, economically, et cetera. Russia's completely. Their military is depleted, their economy's in a complete recession. Putin has to cook the books to make it appear powerful. Ukraine has basically beat them and held off this giant country in this war. And Donald Trump lets this man have all this leverage over him. Which further, in my mind, and I know in your mind, confirms that we all think, and all of our listeners that he's compromised, but get a load out of what he did today. So somebody tweeted, Putin is making Trump wait again. The two leaders were supposed to have met already, but Putin is still at some conference. When Putin is reminded of the meeting, everyone starts laughing. They're literally making fun of Trump in his convoy.
- [11:13]
Speaker E
That surprises me. Zero. Because Putin plays the long game. And Putin knows that Trump will submit to whatever he says, either because he has over him or because he knows how inferior intellectually he is and how open to flattery. And all he has to do is say, you're so athletic, your makeup looks good. And he's like, oh, yeah, well, we'll just lift all the sanctions against you. He knows that Trump doesn't give a about the American people. He knows he doesn't give a about the Ukrainian people. So he can do whatever he wants. And I think this is a message to Trump. I own you. I can humiliate you with impunity in the whole right wing media chamber is not going to say a word to me because I own them, too. It's the biggest flex I.
- [11:59]
Speaker C
You. You summed it up perfectly. That's exactly what Putin did. All right, guys. Please subscribe to our channel. We're trying to get to a million subs and we will see you all soon.
