Is turning 250 years old and Donald Trump is turning 80. And so to celebrate this, Donald Trump has completely demolished the White House grounds. He has installed a Texas style flag at the White House. He has liberaced everything he possibly can. He has turned the rose garden, the iconic rose garden into a two bit cheesecake factory patio. And now he is building a UFC stage on the front lawn of the White House. Welcome to the white trash United States. This is what happens when a bunch of white people get together and cook up ideas. It's not good. It's not good at all. And so they had rolled out a performance list. And for you Gen Xers or boomers, we all know the Milli Vanilli scandal.
C
I couldn't believe it.
B
Milli Vanilli made the list. Pumps. And now they're all dropping out. I mean they are dropping like flies. Pop this up. So featured performers we have Milli Vanilli was in another out. The only person who still remains. It looks like three people remain which is Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida and who is that at the top Music
D
in
C
the music factory, which when I was in college they were big. And that's been almost 40 years ago.
B
Yeah. So 2/3 of the acts have dropped out the day after the lineup and Martina McBride dropped out and I saw somebody on Twitter was like, you've always been a woke leftist. Oh, you know who chimed in and said that? That old queen that got fired from the Kennedy Center. Richard Grinnell. Yeah, he's still, he's still on the Internet like trying to throw shade at people and it's like you were fired. You, you took a perfectly fine place. The Kennedy center slapped up the most unpopular, most hated man in the universe's name on top of it, which is when you have villains like Vladimir Putin running around the is more hated than he is. And this guy still thinks he's still like dunking on people on Twitter, which is wild pumps.
C
You know, here's the thing. When I saw that list, I was like number one, Milli Vanilli they were lip syncing. And then one of. I don't even think they're a band. And then the. One of the lip synchers committed suicide. And you've got all of these people that are like, I have no idea why they put me on this list. I'm not going to be a part of this. And they're not humiliated. They just simply. There is. You cannot shame the shameless. They just run around and put people's names up. And here's my thing. If I'm going to put a fake list out of who's performing, I'm. I'm swinging for the fences. I'm doing like Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen. I'm doing all like popular bands.
B
I am reaching into the.
E
Huh?
B
Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen are all on the record clearly and concisely as anti Maga.
C
No, I know, but I'm saying if you're gonna lie and you're not going to tell people who it is, I mean, Lara Trump is singing Don't Back down and Tom Petty's the State is suing her. Like, these people don't care about the truth. But so to pick bands that were one hit wonders when I was in college, literally 40 years ago, you've got to wonder who the is coordinating this deal. It's the same people that did the parade members.
B
Oh, the military parade when the military machines were like, all right, and then the White House releases a racist aliens.gov website. Pop this up. If you've witnessed an alien abduction, do not be alarmed. The alien is in good hands. We will take care of it and return it safely to its place of origin. So this includes a live tracker of ICE arrests and deportations. They're not talking about aliens from outer space. They're talking about human beings and they're referring to human beings as it. It. UFO enthusia enthusiasts reacted with backlash, calling it a bait and switch with some calling it fascist garbage. And I'll take it even further and calling it fascist racism.
C
The.
B
The dehumanization from these people that stand on their bibles and Bible thump to us and weaponize their faith against us and talk about how tight they are with Jesus Christ and then they trot out this type of overt racism and dehumanization and the fact that we still have. I expect Republicans to do this. I expect Republicans to think this is cool and I respect Repub. I expect Republican voters to vote for this and think this is cool because this isn't new. Donald Trump campaigned on this type of racism where I draw a line is where we have the. A lot of Democrats who are taking money from like Palantir and other tech oligarchs and through taking money from pro Israel lobbies and then they expect us to think that we're stupid enough that we think they're fighting for us. And that's my problem with all of this. The Voting Rights act has been completely gutted. Anti black racism is the one form of racism that is so on fire and so on the rise in the United States of America. But anytime you hear a Democratic politician talk, they talk about the rise in anti Semitism. And yes, there has been a rise in anti Semitism, but it doesn't even come close to what is happening materially to the black community. The rise in anti black racism is a 911 house is on fire. They are removing 13 to 16 black representatives. There is material damage being suffered by this community and it just everybody prioritizes everybody else's over the Americans that built this country. This, it just enrages me, enrages me that there are people in the Democratic Party that are not rejecting any form of any funds that tries to double dip. If you are a pimp like Palantir or a pimp like the Israel Lobby and you're trying to double dip and you want to get this politician and own them, you know, like Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson or Lindsey Graham, but you also want to own. Chuckles no. That the American public has woken up to this. This. We have to have a unified, distinct, morally clear opposition to these racist freaks. The rise of anti black and anti brown anti immigrant racism in this country is devastating and it is dangerous and it is fatal.
C
Well, and it's been, it's been there. But Trump has poured gasoline on a fire because he is to the very core a racist. And he has empowered all of these racists to think that it's cool to be a racist. And I just, I am just waiting, I am waiting for the day that people of all colors come out and say go fuck yourself to the Democrats and the Republicans, just like you said, that are not fighting against that. And hopefully that day comes in my lifetime. But it's so to your point, the Democratic Party, the backbone is black women. Yet they continue to allow this in their spaces. It's gross.
B
Well, unemployment right now, you know who it has affected the most? Black women, of course. And all we hear about non stop or all of these issues, politicians go out of their way almost to not talk about the rise of anti black racism. And when you see this These forms of bigotry. You hear Donald Trump exclusively target targeting Somalians, an entire population. It's just, this is just straight up Nazi shit. JD Vance, before he got Queer Eyed by Peter Thiel was 100% right when he said that Donald Trump was America's Hitler. He was 100% right on that. And so J.D. vance, his former self, saw that and he saw that clearly. And the White House has intervened to get a $620 million deal tied to Don Jr. Pop this up. The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Don Jr. The request by ex con Peter Navarro, one of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time. The Don Jr linked company was the only deal initiated by a top aide to Trump. The the claim that Trump is transparent is partially true. He's very transparent in the corruption and the double dealings and the fraud that they have committed. I remember when they lost their minds about Hunter Bide Biden being on the board of a Ukrainian oil company, I believe, and he received $50,000 a month. I think that that's worthy of criticism. I, I do, I, I think that we have to call out any form of nepotism or somebody trying to curry favor. I think that's a fair critique. I think that's fair to look into. Likewise, I can apply that same logic to maga. The, the, the net is cast so wide. Here it is. Everybody in the Trump administration is profiting off of the backs of hard working Americans. And why would MAGA think they couldn't do this? Because the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have had a bipartisan effort and telling corporations you and your tax breaks and your subsidies and you being able to not have to file bankruptcy like in the banking meltdown of 2008 is more important to us than working class Americans. Both parties have shown the American public we favor corporations that are parasitic off of you. I bring that up because ignoring that and being codependent towards that and enabling that has incubated and facilitated where now we have a president doing this. So it's not just people say we've never seen this before. Yeah, we kind of have. We haven't seen it out of a president, but we've seen bipartisan efforts from politicians in the House and in the Senate, Nancy Pelosi to Rick Scott, both insider trading, bipartisanship, insider trading. We've seen that the rules that apply to the hard working American that works a working class job don't apply to Congress. And so while all of this stuff is so jaw dropping and staggering and it's unprecedented. We have to be really intellectually honest and look at the bipartisan effort that both parties have done when they have taken this money from these corporations and allowed them to be parasitic, allowed them to suck off of working class people, allowed them to say, oh, yes, of course, you, you, we're not going to raise the minimum wage. We wouldn't dare think that you need to be a better person, you big giant corporation. Let's blame the poor people. Both parties have engaged in this and this has incubated a president that is runaway corruption because our Congress has been corrupt with corporations for quite some time.
C
I think that's such a great point because I've, I've known for years the insider trading stuff has been whispered about. But I just. This, the thing about this is, this is jaw dropping that the somebody from the White House would call and say, give my. Give this government contract to Don Jr. Who, who knows nothing about anything. He's a dip. In his deposition for the Trump Organization fraud trial. He didn't know, like the only thing he knew about accounting was what CPA stood for. This guy is a. But it is over and over and over again. You see it in crypto, you see it in, you know, the betting markets. Everything that is getting ready to go up, everything that Trump's getting ready to approve, Dumb and dumber are right there in the middle of it. Time.
B
Where'd they learn this from? Where have we allowed this? Bipartisan Congress. People in Congress, in the Senate have been doing this. And so that's why we have to have a message to the American people. We have to really, really change the status quo, moderate centrist that focus groups and the Democratic Party are saying is a death kneel to more corruption like this. And they'll say, oh, no. Well, if they're, if the Republicans are taking money, then we have to take money too. Well, we now know you, you really don't have to do that because Zoran Mamdani in the richest city in the United States of America took on the richest Americans imaginable. And the Democratic establishment. He kicked their ass. And then if you go to Maine, Graham Platner is not taking any corporate money. And he has already beat the Janet. What's her name? Janet Mills. Mills. He's already beat, defeated her and she took all this corporate money endorsed by Chuck Schumer. All this. And guess who's bedwetting about Graham Platner more than the Republicans are centrist focus group driven I don't believe in anything Democrats that would rather service corporations. And this corruption that led to the Democratic Party getting their ass handed to them twice by a that wears a full face of makeup every day, yet lectures everybody about how he opposes gender affirming care you lost to those people. And if you get on Twitter right now, Angie, I mean it's just bedwetting about Graham Platner, they say, well, I'm not going to listen to the people who didn't endorse Kamala and therefore I'm not going to endorse me. I have an idea. Why don't you listen to the people in Maine? How about that? How about you say I believe in democracy pumps and I enthusiastic, enthusiastically endorsed Kamala because we're harm reduction voters. And it wasn't even close. It wasn't even an option. So there's all this that goes on within the Democratic Party. Of course you have to endorse Graham Platner. You want to know why? Because Susan Collins is an abject, miserable failure who has led to deaths of American people. Susan Collins is a liar of the highest order. She is about seems all there as Donald Trump, the, the, this desire for both parties to want to elect 80 year olds. And I mean no disrespect to anybody who's 80. My parents are in their 80s. They don't want to go work in Washington all the time right now. Susan Collins went to bat for Brett Kavanaugh, who I want to remind everybody, was an emotional basket case during his Senate hearings. Snot slinging, crying, big puss boy, right? Susan Collins voted to confirm him and then Roe was overturned after that. And just go look at ProPublica reporting. Women are dying all over the United States because of Susan Collins. She is a disgrace of the highest order. She is an impotent senator of the highest order. And here she is talking about Graham Platner who went to serve in Iraq. Play the, play the clip. Collins, Mr. Platner says that you sent him to war, but in fact he enlisted twice. What is your comment on that?
E
Well, first of all, he not only enlisted twice after the war was started, but he also went to work for a security company, a controversial run named Blackwater, after, after his term in the service was over. So I respect anyone who steps forward to serve their country, but the fact is that was Platner's decision to serve. He was not drafted.
B
All right, so this is, this is where they say we support the troops. We, we support the troops. We are so. We are the Party of supporting the troops. That right there, she's telling anybody, anybody in the military, you're in charge of your own death. I am. I, I am not going to be a good ambassador of my vote. If you sign up for the military, just know that Susan Collins will vote to get you killed. That is what she just said here. Susan Collins is everything that is wrong with American politics. Graham Platner is not a perfect candidate, but I'll tell you what, he doesn't take corporate money. He is not a like Susan Collins. He's not a prostitute like Haley Stevens and Mallory McMurrow in Michigan. Same goes for Abdul Al Sayed. He doesn't take any corporate money. He's mopping the floor with him. And guess who the centrist Democrats don't want. They don't want people who aren't prostitutes. Tell me, Pumps, what is the difference between Susan Collins and Chuck Schumer?
C
I can't, I can't think of any.
B
I can't think either because they're both prostitutes. Yeah.
C
And you know, here's the thing. She thought it was. I could tell she was smug as about. Well, he wasn't drafted. He enlisted twice in. For, for service in Iraq. And I'm like, he enlisted twice. Like that's, Is that a campaign ad for him? I mean, he obviously gives a. About the country because he enlisted twice.
B
This is what, this is what Republicans do. Remember what they did to John Kerry. They take, you know, they, she's trying to Swift boat Graham Platner. And Graham Platner is he, He's a human being that's grown up in the America that the Susan Collins broke, you know, and he has come out. You can, he's been on our podcast. We could ask him any question imaginable. Any question. I'll tell you what, we had Graham Platner on the podcast. His staff didn't email us a bunch of stuff and say, here's what we want you to ask him. And you can only talk about xyz. A lot of corporate Democrat stuff does do that to us. They do do that to us. And then when we veer off the script, they start lighting up our producers text messages. Well, this wasn't on the list to talk about Kylie's like, I can't control those two women. And so, you know, so I, I just want to say that, like, he's not taking corporate PAC money. He is for universal human rights. He's going to do a million times better job with his votes to send the troops.
C
Yeah.
B
So these stupid wars that Republicans always lead us into. But at the end of the day, let's vote for something different. Let's vote for something completely different than the Chuck Schumers, the Christian Gillibrands, the Cory Bookers, the Susan Collins. Because these people have driven America to this position and they are clinging to hang on to this fascist regime and parts of it. And there's really, in my opinion, not that big of a difference. And we have to vote for the people who are not prostitutes, who do not take money from corporations. That is what Democratic messaging needs to be, whether it's a Democrat or a Republican. If they are taking money from corporations, they are of prostitutes. That that say here is my moral compass. Buy it, cut it up, turn it into what you want to. And you know what the end result to that is? JD Vance couch eyeliner wearing face plant fairy running through Disneyland. That's what happens to you when you do that. All right, that's all we have.
