0:0426 billionaires are terrified and they're so scared they have spent 22 million dollars against Zoran Mamdani because they are terrified of paying 2 % more in taxes, which will affect their lives zero. They will never feel it. But that 2 % and its impact on the city that made them so wealthy, the city that unregulated and made tax loopholes and made the soil prime for them to go in and be billionaires. Does they ever think about saying thank you to quote JD Vance? No, they sit around terrified, which I guess explains why they like kink so much. Because the one through line I see through all of these MAGA people is how scared they are.

0:53Their default setting is they are so scared. They're scared of bad bunny. They're scared of Cracker Barrel. They're scared of drag queens, books, liberal white women, gay people, trans people, and on and on. Put up this tweet, Kylie. 26 billionaires have poured over 22 million into stopping Zoran Mamdani campaign for New York mayor Bloomberg, Ackman, Walton, Wynn, Lauder. The list reads like a billionaire panic roll call. They're not donating out of civic duty. They're defending a system that's finally being challenged. And this tweet is from Brian Allen. And I think he really phrased that well.

1:39And here's the list of people here. Of course, we have the Home Depot founder, Lowe's is in on this, Estee Lauder, Airbnb, lots of Steve Wynn casinos, all of these hedge fund fuckers. And just the Walmart air goes in on this. think about this. You're a billionaire. You haven't flown commercial in a couple of decades. You've never had to worry about your insurance covering a test that you may need, a CAT scan. You've never had to worry about your insurance covering your prescription medications. And this guy wants to raise your taxes 2%. You have a stage five meltdown and spend$22 million. What a fucking luxury that when you're scared, you can try to spend your way out of it because that is a luxury of only the 0.01%.

2:35Yeah. Isn't it amazing that these people see how other people cannot live in the city? They cannot afford groceries and they have gazillions of dollars. And there's not even a tiny part of them that says, you know, I should use my money for good. I could actually help people. Instead, they fight it tooth and nail. It's really, it's like a case study in their psychology. I'd be interested to see. Well, it's just overt entitlement. And they think their wealth gives them superpower energy. And that I am more important than other Americans. And because of my bank account, I work harder, which is bullshit.

3:20Go to any construction site and look at the people who work 12 hours doing manual labor, you're no better than they are. You don't work any harder than they do. But by God, you want to make their lives harder. And you want to make sure that they know that you think you're better and you want the whole world to think you're better. But honestly, pumps, I think a lot of this, this is just feeding the whole eat the rich that's feeding the mom, Donnie campaign, because the more they donated, the more popular he got, the more they did this, the more they look like assholes and the more it made the premise of his case.

3:57And so it backfired spectacularly. And think about what they could have done with that$22 million to this city. But no, instead they're on record being cowardice pussies that are only interested in protecting their wealth and don't give a shit about their fellow man. But something interesting is happening, pumps and listener. Joe Scarborough of MSNBC is bending the knee to Mom Donnie. Play the clip. Mom Donnie, there I did it right. And they've been Bernie Sanders. And what do they have in common? They have a populist message. And yes, people say, oh, they're socialists or socialists or socialists.

4:40Yeah, they said that about Barack Obama too. And he kicked Republicans' ass twice. So it's that populist message that they're putting out there that even there are times that even Steve Bannon goes, yeah, what AOC is saying there, I agree with. And a lot of people like in the populist wing of the MAGA party agree with a lot of that stuff, too. Same thing with Lisa Khan and what she was doing about breaking up monopolies. There is a lane for populist Democrats to run in and to win. Pops, isn't that interesting? Yeah, I find it really interesting because he will say, I am a Republican. But here's the thing.

5:24If you listen to Zoran Mondami, AOC, Bernie Sanders, the populist message is we need to be fair. We need to have everybody on an equal playing field. And the entitlement, I think you make a great point about the egos of billionaires. It is an ego thing. I'm better than you and I want you to know it. And the reality is there are a lot more working class people, the rank and file, than there are billionaires. And so to me, it's very ego driven. But I think when you identify it, the reality is some people disagree with equality and that everybody should get a fair shot. But but in my belief, that's what America was founded on is everybody has an opportunity.

6:16And so, you know, good for Joe Scarborough, who. Well, and I think what's so interesting about the Joe Scarborough thing is you're starting to see Democratic establishment been the need of this. And Morning Joe is a Democratic establishment show. It's a corporate Dem show. Joe Scarborough used to be a Republican, hasn't voted that way in quite some time, and is on the record of seeing the error of a lot of those policies. And to me, the fact that he's bending the knee to this, and he's saying, look at the crowd they got. The dam is breaking here on this issue. When you see corporate establishment media shows do this, the dam is breaking.

7:00And again, I want to say this. I did an episode yesterday. What a missed opportunity for Jeffries and Schumer that they weren't at that rally, that they weren't on stage saying, we're the resistance. This is the new Democratic Party. Because let me tell you what was spotted at that rally. T-shirts that say MAGA for Mom Donnie. And all three of those economic populist, Democratic socialists, All three of them can do something that no other Democrat can do, and they can get triple Trumpers to cross over and vote for them. And Joe Scarborough sees that. And I think it's so important that you see a corporate Dem show bending the knee to Mom Donnie.

7:42The dam is breaking. And that's what I found so compelling about that. Moving along, Riley Gaines is melting down. I mean, that's just a Tuesday, right? But put up this tweet and retweet. So Riley Gaines puts a photo of the rally and you have AOC, Mom Donnie and Sanders. And she tweets, we're being destroyed from within. And AOC retweets with comment and says, maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster, you wouldn't have come in fifth. And I just think, my God, AOC, that's incredible. I love it. But of course, Riley Gaines has a stage five meltdown on Laura Ingram's show because she pointed out that Riley got came in fifth.

8:28She's on Fox News all the time. And a lot of these journalists say she's a limp. She would have won a gold medal. She's nowhere near the fucking Olympics. She just goes along with the lies. But here is Riley Gaines responding to AOC saying maybe if you would have swam faster, you wouldn't have come in fifth. Play the clip. I will say I want to honestly challenge AOC to a debate. she can defend socialism. I will defend capitalism. She can defend removing God. I will defend embracing a biblical worldview. She can defend child sacrifice. I will defend the sanctity of life. Any of the radical and sane democratic policies and platform that they stand for, I will debate the opposite.

9:07I'm challenging AOC to adhere. I thought you were going to challenge her to like a freestyle, 100 freestyle or something. I'm like, that's not true. Yeah, you probably still would have come in fifth. But I want to say, she just talked about her biblical worldview. She thinks that she clearly has the moral high ground on AOC. Let me tell you what the people that she votes with, the people she defends all day, every day, this big biblical worldview, Riley Gaines, who is just one of these bullshit Christian, Charlottes and pieces of shit that uses their faith to weaponize against others. because Riley Gaines, if you were a big Christian, what I'm about to show you would outrage you to the core of your being.

9:50Play the clip of greasy, bribe-taking Tom Homan talking about having open season in New York for immigrants. Play the clip. Likely next mayor of New York City's promise not to cooperate with you or with ICE or deportations of any kind. Do you have a plan? Is there a plan to work around that? How are you going to handle it? Good luck on that, because we're going to be in New York City, and President Trump said it two weeks ago, we're going double down, triple down the sanctuary cities. Why? Not because they're a blue city or a blue state, because we know that's where the problem is. We know they're releasing public safety threats and national security threats to the streets every day because they don't honor our detainers.

10:30We know that. We don't have that problem like in Florida, where every sheriff in the state is working with us. So where are we going to send our assets? We're going to send them where the problem is. Sanctuary City. So I said it before, we'll flood the zones thanks for our cities. Okay, before we analyze what a jet stream of bullshit that is, I want to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Simply Safe, for sponsoring this show. You guys, Simply Safe is a real security that stops crime before it starts. Traditional security systems only react and take action once someone has already broken in. SimpliSafe stops crime before it even starts by confronting potential threats the moment they appear.

11:12Here's an example. Pumps installed all of the SimpliSafe around her house. She saw some random guy walking around and she was able in her phone to say, hey, what are you doing? I'm at my house. You know, I'm about to come outside. My husband's about to come outside. And then the guy just completely runs off. Spoiler alert, she wasn't even at home. So you get alerts. It lets you know what's going on at your house. And it's completely the new technology and security that all of you need. And you can trust Simply Safe because Pumps and I do. We use it to protect our home, our family, our property and everything.

11:48So listener right now, you can save 50 % off on Simply Safe home security system at simply safe.com slash I hip. Again, that's simply safe.com slash I hip. I would think pumps and used to be knee deep and evangelical Christianity that a sanctuary city would be a place where the central character of the religion Christianity would be where Jesus Christ would be with people holding them hand in hand and making sure they were safe. Correct? Correct. and helping the poor, treating your neighbor with respect. All the fucking American Pope is talking about how the United States is treating immigrants.

12:36It is a travesty. It is absolutely against everything that's in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible does it say you got to beat up people that have a different color skin. You need to penalize and demonize poor people. It is exactly opposite of what Jesus Christ's teaching were. And I just want to say this. I've been like, you know, spying on Fox News a little bit. Trump's regime is so fucking bad. It is so underwater that in the last few days they've had on Kid Rock. They've had on Riley Gaines, who her claim to fame is fucking nothing. and they've had Kelly or what's her name? Katie, Kaylee McEnany talking about how great Hamburger Helper is.

13:26That's where they are because you cannot defend the bullshit. It is unbelievable that you can watch that and you can be like, oh yeah, Kid Rock, rah, rah, Hamburger Helper. And the whole premise is people are broke. So they're eating Hamburger Helper again. And Tom Homan, Tom Homan should be in fucking prison. He should be in jail and he should not be in charge of anything because he takes bribes and it's on tape. It's unbelievable, the corruption. It makes me insane. Yeah, but they like to advertise that, that he took a bribe and that Hegseth tweeted out war plans. And guess what? The law doesn't apply to them.

14:11That's the point. But one thing I want to say about Riley Gaines, as she sits there and has the moral high ground against AOC, when I look at people, if I were to say who's more Christ-like, I would pick AOC and the atheist Jew Bernie Sanders and the Muslim Zoran Mamdani a million times over you, Riley Gaines, because Riley Gaines, all you do is hate on people. You are wound up like a cheap clock over trans people. You show them no grace, no compassion. You defend billionaires. You cheer and celebrate when children are zip tied. And then you have the audacity to get on television and try to lecture people who fight for the people that are suffering, that stand and put their arms around people that need sanctuary, and you try to act like you're better than they are, you're an insufferable twat.

15:10Nobody likes you. And no matter what, you will always have been the dumb bitch that tied for fifth place. And the only place that you can get a job is at bottom feeder Fox News. You insufferable twat. Nobody likes you, except for the other fake Christians that enjoy in their spare time watching children get zip tied and then sit there and justify it while they read the Bible with their hideous crucifixes around their necks. So fuck you, Riley Gaines. And I want to leave you with one final thing. And this is Pritzker. And he makes a really good point about there should be no two sides to defending democracy.

15:55This should be a bipartisan approach. Let's just leave you all with this clip because there are politicians out there on our side that are fighting and saying the right thing. And I always want to make sure we amplify those voices. Play the clip. Not everything is a both sides issue. You know, when someone's breaching the Constitution, it needs to be called out. If there's not two sides to it, there's a Constitution. It says what it says. And then when it's you know, when someone is literally breaking the law because they're, you know, they're ignoring the Constitution. There aren't like two sides to that.

16:32It's just it should be called what it is. You're this this group of people is ignoring the law. I understand the job of the media is to make sure that when there are two sides, that they are both fairly presented. but sometimes they're not. And, and especially when, you know, there's fact and fiction, you don't present those equally. I just think he is so smart and I think he is a really good voice. And I think he has had the courage and the mental stamina and the backbone of this moment, along with other governors. So kudos to you, Governor Prisker, and to all of the people in Chicago that are on the front lines, having their own government turned against them.

17:16it's so abhorrent. All right. That's all we have for this episode. Buy our book. The link is right below in the show notes. Life is a lazy Susan of shit sandwiches currently being modeled by none other than the gorgeous pumps subscribe, like, and we'll be back later with more news.
