So many things happen in the news cycle that sometimes we have to go backwards to update everyone. We must talk about the worst immigrant the United States has ever had. The worst. His name is Elon Musk and he gets in these drug fueled Twitter rants and they've gotten even crazier and crazier than you can imagine. Pop this up. Elon Musk is so obsessed with the idea that Hitler was a socialist, he keeps getting fact checked by Grock. Elon Musk tweets, Hitler was a socialist, therefore all socialists are Hitler. Evan Love loves war responds Grok, Was Hitler a socialist? Grok says no. The Nazi party's name included National Socialists for propaganda appeal to workers, but Hitler explicitly rejected Marxist socialism. They purged socialists and communists, banned their parties, allied with industrialists, and ran a fascist system prioritizing racial nationalism and state directed private enterprise, not class equality or worker ownership. Well, what does that sound like? Grog's definition of the Nazi party? That sounds exactly like maga. And so now the MAGA regime has had to scapegoat. Scapegoat, scapegoat to keep the base engaged and to keep them distracted from the fact that Elon Musk is the reason they can't have nice things. Elon Musk is a corporate welfare queen who has received billions of dollars in government subsidies, sucks off the taxpayer tit, and then blames the very citizens of the country that he chose to come here. He chose to immigrate here, he chose to file for citizenship and he wants to blame the American population that has funded him and made him for being lazy. And now he wants to call everybody a communist. Calling Democrats, communists and socialists is the right's new attack line and Fox News is leading the charge on this. Let's play the clip to say, the communist mayor of New York City, he
C
said rather confidently this country will never be communist. And they're now looking at the socialist idea and these communistic ideas, but with
B
this communist crew the, the hatred on the hard left, the socialist, communist, Islamo, fascist left, whatever you want to call
C
it, communism, straight up, crazy communists. And once communists get a foothold in the party, it's over. There's no negotiating with communism.
B
Okay? This is like McCarthyism, this is the red scare bullshit. Have you noticed that, like Fox News maga, it's never like, they never give you anything to believe in. It's always something to be scared of. And the science has proven that. Conservatives operate from a position of fear. They're scared of comedians, they're scared of podcasters, they're scared of books, they're scared of drag queens, they're scared of lesbians, they're scared of gay men, they're scared of Pride Month, they're scared of rainbow flags. These people are scared shitless all the time. But the interesting truth about all of this is the real communist is Donald J. Trump. Play the clip.
C
The greatest communist in history. I said to intel, give the United States of America 10% of your company. Communism is very easy to sell.
B
All right, for confirmation on this theory, let's ask a Republican. Pop this up. Ron Paul in his weekly column writes, despite regularly denouncing the rising socialist menace, President Trump has been pursuing a policy arguably just as, if not more dangerous to liberty and prosperity as anything proposed by Zoran Mamdani or Bernie Sanders. Using government funds to purchase partial ownership of private companies. And I believe that this is going to get much, much worse over the course of Trump's second term because he has a Trump first aligned worldview. So when he gives does anybody a favor by loosening regulations so that they can, say, have mergers or loosening consumer safety protection so that they can make more profits, he's going to want to stake in that. He's going to want money from that. The merging that we're seeing among the federal government and Donald Trump's personal business life is happening. And that brings you back to what Grok, Elon Musk's AI robot said. And Kylie, will you pop up that first tweet again? Let's compare what Grok's definition of a Nazi party is and what's happening with the maga. Party explicitly rejects Marxist socialism. MAGA is purging socialists and communists. Now, remember, Trump asked Moses Mike grinder Johnson for $350 billion to fight alleged communism within the United States, which means he needs to fight his own cabinet. He wants to ban our parties. The Trump regime has allied with industrialists. He's allied with all the oligarchs. He's prioritizing racial nationalism and state directed private enterprise. You just heard the clip of Trump saying he wants 10% of intel and not prioritizing class equity or worker ownership. He would never ever, ever be a champion for all of the working class people that voted for him. And meanwhile, while all of this is going on, the right wing is like laser focused on Zoran Mamdani. Like he cannot make a move without them having a stage five meltdown. It amazes me when I watch the critiques of Zoron, like how pedestrian and how mad they are at these simple things that he does and or says. While Trump's like paying off somebody that he sexually assaulted. $5 million, robbing the piggy bank, the treasury, lying about the pond, desecrating the White House, completely botching the IR thousands upon thousands of stock exchanges. He's made $67 billion enriching his dipshit sons. Dumb and dumber. Even barons made hundred hundreds of millions of dollars. This is what they their recent anger at Zoron is pop this up the New York Post. Mayor Mom Donnie's map of New York City immigrant neighborhoods sparks outrage for ignoring Little Italy. And so this was a week or so ago and this is the stuff that Zoron does that they just, I mean they, they're, he, this guy is so clean and he is so morally sound. This is the stuff they get mad at. So when I looked into this, this was a map of Eric Adams that was made that he inherited it and he said, you know what, we should have probably corrected that and added Little Italy. So originally Eric Adams excluded Little Little Italy, but on my feed, and I'm sure you all saw this in the last week or two, it's all this, Zoron's not a real New Yorker, I'm a from Italy, blah, blah. I don't know if any of you have ever been to Little Italy, but it's very difficult to know where Chinatown in Little Italy where one starts and one begins. And it's not like there are a bunch of Italian immigrants living there anymore. But despite that, Zoron puts out a statement. We're going to go back and we're going to make some changes to this. This is a nothing burger. On a scale of 0 to 10 in political scandals, this is what they have to say about Zoron because they cannot talk about his policies that are actually popular, that are delivering for New Yorkers. What do they stoke? Xenophobia? White grievance? And so in a world where we have the worst immigrant on the planet that everybody hates. Even his kids hate him. Elon Musk, who is a corporate welfare queen who had to buy Twitter so he could try to control the narrative on himself, change the name of it, make a robot named Grok who proves him wrong all the time. And here's the kicker about what Elon does when Grok disagrees with him, he gives Grok a lobotomy. And I think you might most recently remember, probably in the last six or eight months, he programmed Grok to basically be so obsequious and complimentary to Elon Musk. My favorite was somebody asked him, grok, who's a better athlete, Elon Musk or LeBron James? And Grok responds, elon Musk is a better athlete than LeBron James. Which shows you that a trillion dollars access to anything and everything on the planet cannot fix this group of submissive corporate welfare queens. They all suck. They'll always suck. The call about Communism is coming from inside the house. All right. Please like subscribe. We will be back later with more.

Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: July 20, 2026
This high-energy episode finds Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan diving into the swirling chaos within Trump’s White House as the 2026 midterms loom. The hosts tear into recent right-wing rhetoric, lampooning the growing wave of MAGA-fueled fearmongering about "communism" and "socialism." Using their signature mix of biting humor and sharp political critique, they call out the hypocrisy of politicians like Donald Trump and public figures like Elon Musk. They also dissect media attacks on progressive New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani, revealing how conservative talking points use distraction and scapegoating to mobilize their base.
The episode wastes no time, with Angie laying into Elon Musk, labeling him “the worst immigrant the United States has ever had” due to his “drug-fueled Twitter rants”—fueled further, she jokes, by his own misinformation ecosystem.
The hosts relay a saga where Musk insists “Hitler was a socialist,” only to be instantly corrected by his own AI bot, Grok—much to their delight.
The media’s “Red Scare” tactics are lampooned, with Fox News clips of pundits warning of creeping “communism” and a “socialist, communist, Islamo-fascist left.” The hosts point out the constant stoking of fear without offering any positive vision.
The irony is highlighted as a new Trump clip surfaces:
The hosts cite Ron Paul's own critique of Trump for essentially pushing government overreach—“a policy arguably just as, if not more dangerous to liberty and prosperity…”—describing Trump’s pandemic-era push for government stakes in private companies as functionally “communist.”
Angie predicts this dynamic will worsen if Trump is re-elected, describing an administration ever more enmeshed with corporate interests and personal enrichment.
The show returns to Grok’s fact-check, drawing pointed parallels between the Nazi party’s rejection of socialism (in favor of fascist, oligarchic capitalism) and Trump’s current power-plays:
Angie: “He would never ever, ever be a champion for all of the working class people that voted for him.” (06:10)
The hosts lampoon the right-wing’s fixation on New York’s progressive Mayor Zoran Mamdani, specifically over a media-manufactured map scandal where “Little Italy” was omitted.
They illustrate how conservative outrage consistently pivots to petty grievances and cultural scapegoating—because progressive policies remain broadly popular.
Returning to Musk, Angie dubs him a “corporate welfare queen who had to buy Twitter so he could try to control the narrative on himself, change the name of it, make a robot named Grok who proves him wrong all the time.” (08:45)
Musk’s continual reprogramming of Grok to be more flattering is mocked:
The hosts conclude that all the bluster around “communism” is projection:
| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-----------|---------|-------| | 00:37 | Angie | “We must talk about the worst immigrant the United States has ever had. The worst. His name is Elon Musk…” | | 01:48 | Angie | “That sounds exactly like MAGA.” | | 03:08 | Angie | “Conservatives operate from a position of fear. They're scared of comedians, they're scared of podcasters, they're scared of books, they're scared of drag queens…” | | 03:46 | Trump (clip) | “The greatest communist in history. I said to intel, give the United States of America 10% of your company. Communism is very easy to sell.” | | 06:10 | Angie | “He would never ever, ever be a champion for all of the working class people that voted for him.” | | 07:40 | Angie | “On a scale of 0 to 10 in political scandals, this is what they have to say about Zoron because they cannot talk about his policies that are actually popular, that are delivering for New Yorkers.” | | 08:45 | Angie | “Corporate welfare queen who had to buy Twitter so he could try to control the narrative on himself, change the name of it, make a robot named Grok who proves him wrong all the time.” | | 09:30 | Angie | "The call about communism is coming from inside the house." |
The hosts use razor-sharp wit, energetic outrage, and plenty of sarcasm to connect the dots between rhetorical scapegoating, projection, and power grabs at the highest levels of U.S. politics. They lambaste not just Trump and Musk, but the larger right-wing media ecosystem’s tactics—turning even the pettiest story into fuel for fear and division as an election approaches.
The episode closes with the message that much of the red-scare, anti-socialist rhetoric is really about distracting the public from how little the current regime actually improves ordinary Americans’ lives.
For listeners: If you want political analysis laced with humor, fearless truth-telling, and a dash of righteous rage, this episode is for you.
