A juicy Tell all about the absolute incompetence and criminal like activity coming out of the Trump regime Just dropped. It's called Regime Change by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and the details coming out of this are just as ridiculous as you would think. So you know Trump wants to build that big Arc de Triomphe similar to the one in Paris, but he wants to call it the arch. The Trump. Well, he asked about putting a fist on it. A fisting arch. Pop this up. New reporting reveals Trump asked AIDS if he could add a giant fist on top of his 250foot triumphal arch.

Josh it's like we have a kid that's at Legoland in the fucking White House. It's like you see him holding these things together and he wants to put a fist on it. It's like that's what you're thinking about. You're in the middle of this fucking war. It's a complete disaster. Maybe other things are more pressing. It's comical. If it wasn't so dire and so panicky. It's, it's. What do you say?
Political Commentator 1
It's a real indictment on the people surrounding him and the Republican Party at large. At this point, I expect Trump to wake up crazy. Do crazy, commit crimes, put on bad makeup and just be an overall fleabag extraordinaire. I expected so. Then we have to widen the scope of accountability. Little Marco, Stephen Miller, all of the sycophants surrounding him. J.D. vance, Susie Wiles, the Senate Majority leader. Senator Thune, are you okay with all of this stuff? The president wanting to have a fisting Trump in the middle of D.C. with all of his bisexual statements recently? I guess it tracks. But another little tidbit that comes out is, you know, Josh, when he was being tried for his felony cases, he had a little gal that traveled around with him, which was. She was referred to as the human printer because she would print articles that were effusive towards Trump. And you had to go, like, into the dark web to find him. Right. But she produced him and she put together a photo book for him to keep him entertained during his felony trial. Well, he recently is spilling the beans on her. Pop this up. The Daily Beast is reporting that Trump bragged that the adoring young female aide who is constantly by his side loves him as much as his wife and kids and will never leave him. And I would say I don't think that sounds like she loves you that
Political Commentator 2
much as much as your wife and kids. It looks like kind of a mini Pam Bondi. Doesn't she look like a little bit of a young.
Political Commentator 1
She does. Pop that back up, Kylie.
Political Commentator 2
Yeah, I, I, he's got a affinity for blondes, definitely. You know, maybe she should have been helping Todd Blanche during that trial, maybe lending him a hand in those 34 counts during the course of that trial. Instead of creating collage books, you could actually help the lawyers defend him because he was convicted, if memory serves right, of all counts in that trial. So instead of making a collage book for Donald, maybe she should have been helping Todd research some of the case law in that case.
Political Commentator 1
But only in Trump's America can you be a failed criminal defense lawyer and then be the acting Attorney general and. Right. More reporting coming out. Pop this up, Kylie. The New Yorker is reporting. A new book by the Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan contends that Trump ran in 2024 for one reason above all. This was about staying out of prison.
Political Commentator 2
That may be one of the most truthful things that that man has ever said. I have no doubt that he ran for office because he knew his ass was going to prison if he didn't win. The better question is, what were 77 million people in this country thinking that elected this man to a second term? But that's probably one of the more truthful statements he's made. He knows his time is coming. Uh, he's got the Supreme Court. He's now placing these judges all across the country he's trying to build, build up some insurance for when he leaves. But it's our responsibility to make sure he gets exactly what he deserves when his term is over. So we need to go vote, people.
Political Commentator 1
All right, and then he has J.D. vance, and he has a very complicated relationship with J.D. vance because J.D. vance was handpicked by Don Jr. Who obviously, Trump is not very nice to. Don Jr. Didn't even go to his wedding. Okay? So there's no love lost there. And he was picked by Don Jr. Because the tech oligarchs, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, they wanted an heir apparent. They saw that this guy was demented. They saw that he was easy to manipulate. So they wanted to put an heir apparent because Elon Musk and Peter Till couldn't win a race for dog catcher. These people are unelectable, so they act as pimps and they hire prostitutes. And JD Vance is this country's top hooker. He is undefeated. And this is really, really big news because Melania's former best friend, Amanda Ungaro said that Melania used to be a hooker for Jeffrey Epstein and was passed on to Donald Trump. That's what she tweets. But here is J.D. vance, who is so unlikable, who Trump is constantly setting up for failure on a podcast, talking about how easy it is to have kids. All you have to do is just be vice president.
J.D. Vance (clip)
Play the clip about this job is there are certainly sacrifices for the family, but it's also just in some ways, the easiest possible situation in which to have a baby, because there's so much support. Like, we have amazing staff. We have people who help us with everything. This house, which is. I liken it to the nicest public housing anywhere in the world, but is largely taken care of by the Navy and the people who work here. And so while having a baby is always a bit of a challenge, especially in a job like this, I actually think that, you know, knock on wood, this is going to be the. The. The best way, or, like, the easiest way, at least on the family, to bring a new life into the world.
Political Commentator 2
Yeah.
Political Commentator 1
Listen up, losers. You, too, can breed. If you become vice president, it's super easy. You have free public housing, some of the best in the world. You've got a staff. You've got the United States Navy assisting and helping you. And remember, this is from the guy who basically dry humped Erica Kirk on stage at that disastrous Turning Point thing. And she gets up on stage, this woman, and says, have children, even if you can't afford them. You think J.D. vance would do that? You think that little princess right there talking about how easy it is to be a daddy when you're the Vice President of the United States when everything's provided for you. You think he'd be a broke ass dad? It's just unbelievable how unlikable and out of touch this guy is. And I couldn't be happier for him that everybody hates his guts.
Political Commentator 2
And I, I'm trying to follow what he's saying, but I, I guess he's saying that, look, it's, it would be easy for us to have sex. We've got people waiting on us and bringing us drinks and it's a perfect time to breed. Is that, is that right? I mean, I'm trying to track.
Political Commentator 1
I think it's more about the care of a child. Like we have. We don't have to worry about, we don't have to worry about rent. We live in great public housing. I thought he was talking about support staff. No, I mean, God, I, I can't believe your brain went there, darling. Thinking about JD And Usha doing it, I think this is probably a petri dish.
Political Commentator 2
Maybe I just see him with. And I know you call him smokey eyed sociopath. Yeah, yeah. But I do notice that like in all of his interviews, I think he enjoys having that smoky dark eye. Like there's something about that that he feels good about.
Political Commentator 1
Yeah. And I just think it's important that if a Democrat got on stage and spoke about how easy it was to have kids when the majority of Americans are battling inflation, battling high gas price, battling all sorts of shit, he said, hey, it's so easy to have kids when you're vice president. You got a free private plane, all this shit. It's just so out of touch. Which brings me. Go ahead.
Political Commentator 2
Well, I was going to say we need the American people to see this stuff, listen to these type of interviews and just know what you're going through in the middle of America. Having to work your ass off, having to pay rent, having to put gas that's way too high, inflation's up. Just remember these things. And you hear this guy who's so out of touch with day to day America, talking about having the staff and how great it is to be able to raise children with all these resources. I mean, you know, clue in, just get it, get it.
Political Commentator 1
Here's the thing he. This was on a right wing podcast. The sad thing is about a lot of these right wingers is they are capitalists with no capital who feel like I'm going to go vote for JD Vance to be able to breed and have a private plane. It's, there's a real, the, the mind that Republican propaganda has done to poor Americans has been so incredibly successful. I, I bet a lot of people watch that and they're like I'm so glad that JD And Usha have such a great life that's just so great that we're providing that. But this brings me to one of the biggest, most pathological loser senators ever. And it's Susan Collins and she has a real candidate running against her named Graham Platner who the Republicans and the Democratic establishment are losing their about him and he's beating her in polls. So Susan goes on to Fox News, you know, which is just like a bombing salve for a neocon loser like, like Susan Collins. And the journalist asks her about Israel which I want to remind everybody, support for Israel, the country sending them who are committing a genocide, killing civilians in Lebanon and Gaza. Support for them. So here she is being interviewed about Israel and I want to remind everybody that Israel support from the American public is at all time low. Play the clip.
Susan Collins (clip)
No way. I remain a very strong supporter of Israel, the one democracy in the Middle east, our true ally in the Middle East. And I think this sadly reflects rising antisemitism in our country that Graham Platner certainly is part of.
Political Commentator 1
And number one, I'm so tired of the elder abuse from both parties. Quit running people that are not healthy enough to run. There's some sort of medical condition, visible medical condition. A senatorial term is six years. Number two, Graham Platner needs to run just that those words and say I'm Graham Platner and I approve this message. Number one, it is a lie that Israel is a democracy. That is a lie. That is a bald faced lie. Number two, it is a lie that they are our best ally. They just lied and manipulated our dementia ridden president and dog walked him into a war with Iran and wherein the United States of America double tapped a school where 154 little girls got killed and there's been no accountability for any, any of it. So if Israel really is our ally, I'd hate to see what an enemy
Political Commentator 2
looks like just seeing that interview. I don't know how anyone could watch that and think this is a person that needs to be elected to another term in the Senate. It seems like I read recently that she had when she was first elected as a senator. She said that she promised that she would run two terms I think at the most. And, you know, my affection for her goes back to the Brett Kavanaugh days. I mean, I don't think I've ever been so mad in my entire life. When she voted to confirm Kavanaugh as they were suppressing all these FBI complaints about Kavanaugh, if you remember that, with Lindsey Graham, and she. She was the decider in that. And, you know, like. Like, if you're Graham Platner, play that video and say, you can vote for that or you can vote for me. And I know they're beating up on. On Graham because of his past. I would think that the Trump regime, that all these maga would love a guy like Graham Platner as he's being portrayed to be, even though it's not him. Because every one of your guys are like that times five. And so he's got a little mud on him. That ought to make you like him more, respect him more, because every person you all elect is a fucking complete felon who's on jailbreak from the county jail for a weekend spree.
Political Commentator 1
Yeah, and here's the thing. Nobody has a worse record than Susan Collins. I mean, it's just maybe Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham. This woman has been. He's been in longer. She voted for Brett Kavanaugh, and then Brett Kavanaugh was the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade. Susan Collins took away medical autonomy and freedom for women. Susan Collins voted not to impeach Donald Trump because she said, quote, I think he's learned his lesson. And I just want to say this, Senator Collins, he did learn his lesson from Trump 1.0 to 2.0. He learned cheat better. He learned don't have anybody with integrity around you. And Susan Collins, you are number one. No integrity to act. She votes with Donald Trump 94% of the time. She's an abject failure. Give me Graham Platner any day over her record. She's a liar. She's a hypocrite. She's a gaslighter. She is anti woman. She is anti law and order. She is pro crime. She is pro dementia. And I don't know what is wrong with her. But as a country, we have to quit putting sick old people on ballots. I mean, it's just insane whether it's a Democrat or Republican. If you're old, at least be like Bernie Sanders, where nobody can really. Nobody even thinks about it. But that. Whatever that shake twitch thing was. Come on, man. Come on.
Political Commentator 2
Well, and she was about to fall over as she was getting out these obvious Fox buzzwords. Like she could barely say anti. I mean, she's about to choke saying these things that she knows she's supposed to to say during this interview. It's really kind of sad. But, but think about it. If you're, how old is she? Probably 80.
Political Commentator 1
I don't know.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
Yeah.
Political Commentator 2
If you're that age and you've been able to just rip the American people off for all the money, I think her husband's made tens of millions of dollars. Why not just go the beach, get the out, just go. Is there something so addictive about that place?
Political Commentator 1
We need to study that with Biden, with her, with all of these boomers that have everything they want, why they won't pass the torch.
Political Commentator 2
Just can't give it up. They just can't. To go do something better, to go be somewhere better, let someone else have a turn. The same thing with these Supreme Court justices too. And I, you know, I think we all had some criticism for Justice Ginsburg, why she didn't step down. You know, this whole, whole psyche could be examined and looked at from both sides of it like get the fuck out. Let other people who are young, more in touch with day to day Americans jump in office and take the helm. Because so many of these people are just outdated. They don't get it. And then why these people at home just continue to vote for him is another.
Political Commentator 1
Yeah. And our, and listener. It's important. Our critique of this is bipartisan. RBG, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell went to the hospital a few days ago. Who knows if he's alive? He's been half dead for a decade. I mean, it's just enough Susan Collins needs to be in some sort of Parkinson's testing, not on Fox News spewing propaganda that is dangerous, that is inherently false. It is. She's on Fox News lying, which makes sense because it's a propaganda channel. But anyway, you guys comment below. Tell us what you think about these politicians on both sides of the aisle that refuse to give up power and tell us what you think about that main Senate race. All right. We'll be back later with more news. Thanks, Josh.

Episode Title: Trump’s Bizarre Obsession With New Aide? Shocking Updates On Hideous Trump Arch

Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Episode Theme:
This episode sees Jennifer and Angie unleashing their signature blend of sharp wit and progressive fury on the latest political absurdities, focusing on Donald Trump's bizarre projects and relationships, Republican missteps, and dysfunctional senior politicians. Their comedic, punchy, and sometimes biting commentary skewers both personalities and policies, all while encouraging engaged political action.
[01:54] Host 2:
“It’s like we have a kid at Legoland in the fucking White House.”
[02:19] Host 1:
“I expect Trump to wake up crazy, do crazy, commit crimes, put on bad makeup, and just be an overall fleabag extraordinaire.”
[05:02] Host 2:
“That may be one of the most truthful things that man has ever said... He knew his ass was going to prison if he didn’t win.”
[07:41] Host 1:
“Listen up, losers. You, too, can breed. If you become vice president, it’s super easy...”
[12:06] Host 1:
“It is a lie that Israel is a democracy... It is a lie that they are our best ally.”
[13:04] Host 1:

The episode is candid, brash, and saturated with progressive frustration and humor. Jennifer and Angie encourage listeners to scrutinize politicians’ motives and health, advocate for generational turnover, and—most importantly—VOTE in upcoming elections. Their critique is bipartisan but particularly unforgiving toward the current Republican establishment and its enabling of Trump’s continued, often surreal, presence in American politics.
Listener Prompt: “Comment below. Tell us what you think about politicians on both sides of the aisle that refuse to give up power and about that Maine Senate race.”
Anyone following contemporary U.S. politics (with a tolerance for irreverence and F-bombs) will find both catharsis and information in this episode. It skewers hypocrisy, mock-praises MAGA absurdity, and urges active democratic participation.
