We're 18 months in of incompetence crimes, complete debauchery, degeneracy and this should come as no surprise to you. Trump's approval rating is now hitting 30%. Pop this up a new ARG poll among registered voters. Trump job approval 30% Trump's handling of the economy 27% despite these abysmal modern, worst, worst of all time. Nobody's ever seen, the likes of which nobody's ever seen. They go around and take victory laps and, and lie to everybody. So my thing is Donald Trump, all the people surrounding him that work in the White House are freaks. I mean these people are total nut job for freaks. The Senator Thune who tries to really kind of stay out of the press, when is he going to kick in? Because he's clearly for this by not standing up against this.
Co-host
Well, you know, you look at the, everybody is screaming in Congress. You see over and over about this war in Iran. But when it comes to voting, to limiting Trump's power to do that, they completely don't, they can't pass it. I, I think you know, third time. But the House won't do it. They all are allowing this to happen. The collapse of the three branches of government right now in America. It is completely happened. We're past it. It has collapsed. We have one branch of government led by a complete and total ship for brains. Yeah.
Jennifer
And nobody will, Nobody will stand up and advocate for the things they claim they believe in the Constitution, free speech, the separation of powers. Nobody will stand up. Therefore, Democrats must brand beyond Trump. You have to brand the entire movement. Democrats are so tepid in their opposition because they fear hurting a triple Trumper's feeling. We don't want to alienate the electorate. Alienate away. To quote Larry David, alienate yourselves. Go after them. These people are never, ever, ever going to vote for Democrats. And you must call out not only the people in Congress, but the people in the electorate that want this. Moving along. Tucker Carlson has been going through some things, but let me just remind you, Tucker Carlson, first and foremost, is a financial Darwinist. He makes a lot of money doing what he does. And this is a guy who follows trends and then matches his podcast accordingly. Here he is now, finally. D I V O R C E I N G or I'm spelling that wrong. He divorcing the Republican Party. Play the clip.
Podcast Clip Speaker
Not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. Don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support. How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States, that puts the interest of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? Like I. That's. That's, you know, it's not possible to.
Jennifer
All right, Democrats, he is teeing this up for you with the electorate that you're so scared about, hurting their feelings. He said, there's no way I could support the Republican Party. That should be a shared universal thought right now. There's no way anybody could or should support the Republican Party. And let me just break it down for you. If you are a parent of a daughter, why are you voting for your daughter to have less rights? Why are you voting for a rapist to have more rights than your very own daughter? Why are you voting to keep your own daughter less safe? All of you people in the Bible Belt that talk about family values, is this it? The ufc, all that? Is that your family values? Are all of these nuts running around in the closet? Is that your idea of family values? Of course. Tucker doesn't need a cookie here. Of course no sane person is going to support the Republican Party. But why is he doing this right now? Because he believes in financial Darwinism. This is not. All of a sudden, Tucker's like, oh, my God, Donald Trump and MAGA are crazy. Because. Let's look at the timeline of Tucker's evolution. Pop this up. Tucker Carlson in 2021. I hate him passionately when talking about Trump. Just two years later, he endorses Trump for president. Trump 2025, criticizes Trump's foreign policy. In January of 2026, we all saw Tucker standing in the Oval clapping like a goddamn seal. When Trump was meeting with the CEO, oil CEOs, when he was meeting with Big Oil. So now all of a sudden he's found Jesus on the issue and he can't support the Republican Party. The guy who has kept all the rubes riled up on conspiracy theories, now all of a sudden, please, you're just following the money. You know, the 30% approval rating. You know, this goose is cooked. This guy's half dead.
Co-host
Yeah. And when you look, I have long since thought the Republican Party that I grew up with, that is dead. It is now maga. So I think it in addition to being going after his own financial gain, he's an opportunist for perhaps his own political ambitions. Because you hear all the time about him running in the future. So do here, here's the deal. I, I go back to Tucker Carlson. All of these people are willing to say behind the scenes, I hate Trump in his text message in that Dominion lawsuit. I mean, he scorched earth on Trump, but yet he kisses his ass. So again, what we have is a group of cowards, right?
Jennifer
And I do want to say the Republican Party that you grew up with incubated this. Ronald Reagan's horrific elitism on the poor, the way he treated the LGBTQ plus community. And he's been anointed a savior of the Republican Party for all of these years. He had no compassion, he had no empathy. The Republican Party has always been just like Trump. Trump just doesn't hide it anymore. But every Republican I know personally that voted for Trump when he first came out and he was so impolite, they would say, I don't really like his style. But he says what everybody's thinking. He just took the mask off. He just took the veneer off. This is the Republican Party. These are the neocons. This is what they do. This is what they've always wanted to do. It's always been about big money. It's always been about being a bigot. It's always been about making fun of poor people. It's always been about the consolidation of, of wealth. It's always been about all this. The Reagan's and the George W. Bushes and the George H.W. bushes were just more polite about it. They finally now he's given them a permission structure to be dicks and own it and bask in it. And so here we have Marjorie Taylor Greene, who you may remember was Jewish space lasers. Anthony Fauci. I think she's still on that. There's only two genders. I'm just stupid shit. That doesn't matter. Um, but she's savvier than we all have to get her credit for. And let's go back to our thesis sentence, financial Darwinism. Marjorie Taylor Greene enters As congresswoman in D.C. she finds out about how to trade stocks. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now worth, I think it's 25 million. Don't quote me on that, but it's in the tens of millions. She's been, you know, vacationing Costa Rica and all this stuff. Well, here she is saying that she is joining Tucker and leaving the Republican Party. Tucker's not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There is a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are done with the America last Republican Party. I say good for you, Marjorie. America last party. It's always been that this is not a person who is coming out and atoning in a way that is saying, I was a real dick. I trafficked in a lot of white supremacy, but it was all I knew. Some worlds I grew up in. And after Moving to Washington D.C. from all white cracker neighborhood in Georgia and being around gay people and brown people and black people and seeing a lot of the Republican debauchery up close, I evolved as a human being and I developed more empathy. That's not what this is. These people are setting up a political party and they're going to call it a third political party. But what they're going to do is they're going to capture maga. They are just getting out in front of this. Laura Loomer is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Lindsey Graham rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Tucker and Marge are smart. They're jumping off the ship early. They see the imminent iceberg that's about that. Trump is hitting, actually he hits, bangs into it, backs off. Day on repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. They're going to be able to peg any heir apparent to MAGA to this movement. And then Tucker and Marge are going to be like we told you. But let me just tell you this much. At the end of the day, Tucker Carlson got on TV and he said that he was in bed and he was attacked by four demons in his sleep, that demonic forces attacked him. He also in this same story revealed that he sleeps with like three or four really large dogs, but yet it wasn't the dogs. These people are grifters. They don't believe in universal human rights. This is not something that they are wanting to save America for everybody to have opportunity they just know in order for them to have their platforms and to be able to continue and if they do have presidential ambitions, Tucker at the top, Marsh, Marge on the ticket as well. Politically, this is pretty savvy, but I think it's twofold. The Democratic response, number one, ride their wave. The Republican Party is America last. I agree with Tucker and Marjorie on that. I completely agree. The total difference is they're still bigots and the grifters and they saw, they just now, they just now think that Trump's a problem. Really. And we, we think we should listen to these people who it takes 11 years to process incompetence, you know, like they should have any credibility.
Co-host
Yeah, Yeah.
Jennifer
I mean, seriously, like, oh, my God, I just found out that Trump's a nut. Let's running for president, you know, it's so stupid.
Co-host
Well, we know Tucker Carlson did leading up to the 2020 election. I mean, he, he said in the text, I hate him with the passion. And Marjorie Taylor Greene, I don't know why, every time her name comes up, she was at a campaign rally for Trump. I mean, she was his. I mean, she loved him. And I remember her with a cutout of Donald Trump. It was a 3D cutout and she was bending over pick with pictures and had her hands cupped around his private parts. So I can't. It's hard for me to make the stretch that this is an evolution and not what you're saying. Like, we are putting number one first and we're getting rid of the dead weight.
Jennifer
Yeah. And I think Marjorie Taylor Greene, like, as recently of like a year, she was at some like January 6th memorial thing. Yeah. And there's like a prisoner and it's like a wax figure or something weird. Some weird that Maggie does. And she's like down praying with it underneath. Not even a real person. But it, the, the Democrats have to say Tucker and Marjorie are putting on a master class of slow learning. That's what they're doing. These are slow learners. They have no deduction skills. They are jumping off with a buoy at the very last second. And hypochondria is still going to get them because that's how stupid they are. This is not the flex they think it is that they fl figured out in the 11th hour that this is a stupid movement and we need to peg that on them. Okay. And then finally, another person that is leaving the MAGA movement and he's been doing this for a long time. And I just want to say before I play this, this is a Clip from Nick Fuentes. I think an error that mainstream media establishment Democrats make is not paying enough attention to the lunatic fringe because the lunatic fringe is now in the White House in con, in the Supreme Court. Think about the flags that Alito's wife had. I mean, these people are nuts, right? We need to pay attention to what's happening in the lunatic French online spaces because they are incubating the next movement which, believe it or not, listener will be worse than this. But here is Nick Fuentes who also is a slow learner, bragging about realizing that Trump is not an America first guy. Play the clip.
F
A non woke moderate Democrat. I think the GOP needs to be destroyed. I think the corrupt criminal government of Trump needs to be slow down. We need to impeach the orange. It's time to put this in a peach. Trump needs to be placed inside of a crystal. He needs to be impeached. This fat orange, tiny hands needs to be impeached. And then in 28, no Vance, no Rubio. We have to burn down the whole party.
Jennifer
Okay, so this is why I wanted to show you all this because this is why the Internet is so dangerous. In 30 second clips you hear something like Nick Fuentes and you're like, yeah, I agree with him. We do need to burn it down. Trump does suck. He is a fat, orange, useless slob, blah, blah. If you go on and listen to any of these people long enough, the racism, the homophobia it comes in, all of these people are still corporate shills that know how to scapegoat other people to get the rubes in line. And that's what they're doing. You notice Nick Fuentes had the hat placed. America First. They're already rebranding the MAGA movement.
Co-host
Yeah.
Jennifer
To America First. And this is happening in real time. And you might say, Jennifer, you're taking all of this too seriously. And I want to say, yes, we have to take it very seriously because this is how MAGA started in these far off corners of the Internet where these people have large audiences and they are acutely aware of how to stoke the masses and what to feed them, to mobilize them to get out and vote against their own interest. I want to remind you, like, Nick Fuentes isn't even 100% Caucasian and he says I am a Nazi white nationalist. I think his dad or something is like half Mexican, which I support because I support multiculturalism out the wazoo. But these people are incredibly dangerous and incredibly skilled at manipulating the masses to go out and mobilize against their own interests or for corporations.
Co-host
Well, and you look at all these young Republican groups and we know that, you know, Nick Fuentes is a voice that they listen to and they're saying all kinds of racist. So I mean, to act like this is a fringe group and it's not, you know, it's not more mainstream than we think that it, that if you do that at your own peril because this guy and those beliefs, as we are seeing over and over and over again, they're taking hold in young people in this country.
Jennifer
Yes. But I want to give you some Good news. Only 18% of those that are 18 to, I think 25 support MAGA. So a lot of that is, is inflated as they do inflate it. But as you can see with maggot, these things can catch on in these spaces of the Internet. So we're just, this is us keeping an eye on the fissures, the delicious fissures in the MAGA movement with a warning that the machinations of Tucker, of Nick, of March, they are playing a long game here and we need to stay on it and stay focused because corporate media will not cover this. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment, pre order my book, not today, Fascist. We'll go ahead. Dedicate that to get old techie tuck. I hope your wounds from the demonic attack have held up, my darling. And when I say not today, Fascist, even though you don't like Trump, you're still a fascist and everybody knows it.
Co-host
Bye.

Episode Title: Tucker Drops Bombshell; They're All Leaving the GOP Over Trump's Total Collapse
Date: June 23, 2026
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
In this high-energy episode, Jennifer and Angie dive into the spectacular unraveling of the GOP as key right-wing figures, including Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene, publicly declare their separation from the Republican Party amid mounting Trump-era chaos. The hosts offer their signature blend of sharp political critique and biting humor, discussing the motives behind these public “exits,” the ongoing realignment of the American right, and the underlying dangers of fringe figures like Nick Fuentes. Tying it all together is a clear warning: don’t underestimate the adaptability and grifting prowess of former MAGA icons, nor the risk that the next movement could be even worse.
“Trump’s handling of the economy, 27%. … Worst of all time. … They go around and take victory laps and… lie to everybody.” – Jennifer [00:59]
“The collapse of the three branches of government… we have one branch of government led by a complete and total shit for brains.” – Angie [02:01]
“Alienate away. To quote Larry David, alienate yourselves. Go after them. These people are never, ever, ever going to vote for Democrats.” – Jennifer [02:39]
“This is not—‘oh, my god, Donald Trump and MAGA are crazy.’ … You know the 30% approval rating. You know, this goose is cooked. This guy's half dead.” – Jennifer [05:40]
“Not going to support the Democratic Party. Don’t know what I’m going to do. But at this point, how could… any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?” – Tucker Carlson [04:00]
“The Republican Party… incubated this. Ronald Reagan’s horrific elitism… no compassion, no empathy. The Republican Party has always been just like Trump. … Trump just doesn’t hide it anymore.” – Jennifer [07:15]
“She is joining Tucker and leaving the Republican Party… There is a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. … We are done with the America last Republican Party.” – Jennifer (paraphrasing Marjorie) [09:56]
“These people are setting up a political party and they’re going to call it a third political party… They are just getting out in front of this. Laura Loomer is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Lindsey Graham rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Tucker and Marge are smart. They’re jumping off the ship early.” – Jennifer [11:09]
“This fat orange, tiny hands [Trump] needs to be impeached. … We have to burn down the whole party.” – Nick Fuentes [14:42]
“You notice Nick Fuentes had the hat placed: America First. They’re already rebranding the MAGA movement. … These people are incredibly dangerous and incredibly skilled at manipulating the masses…” – Jennifer [15:49]
“To act like this is a fringe group and it’s not… that if you do that at your own peril because this guy and those beliefs… are taking hold in young people.” – Angie [16:49]
Jennifer on Democratic Strategy:
“Democrats have to say Tucker and Marjorie are putting on a master class of slow learning. That’s what they’re doing. These are slow learners. They have no deduction skills. They are jumping off with a buoy at the very last second.” [13:00]
On GOP Redefinition:
“The Republican Party that you grew up with incubated this. … Trump just doesn’t hide it anymore.” – Jennifer [07:15]
On Opportunism:
“This is pretty savvy, but I think it’s twofold. The Democratic response, number one, ride their wave. The Republican Party is America last. … The total difference is they’re still bigots and the grifters and they saw, they just now, they just now think that Trump’s a problem. Really.” – Jennifer [11:22]
Humorous Aside:
“At the end of the day, Tucker Carlson got on TV and he said that he was in bed and he was attacked by four demons in his sleep… These people are grifters. They don’t believe in universal human rights.” – Jennifer [11:41]
This episode is a forceful, sarcastic takedown of self-serving right-wing “defections” from the GOP, arguing these figures are grifting, not reforming. Jennifer and Angie urge listeners to recognize the pattern and pressure Democrats to respond assertively. The hosts blend political insight with humor and pop culture, offering both warnings about the future of the American right and comic relief at the expense of its most notorious players.
Notable Sign-off:
“Not today, Fascist. Even though you don’t like Trump, you’re still a fascist and everybody knows it.” – Jennifer [18:13]
