In short
The episode argues that Trump’s inner circle and allied right-wing figures are escalating dangerously and that Democrats are failing to respond quickly enough. It claims Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are “jumping off” Trump while still trying to capture MAGA’s base; Carlson says Trump should be removed immediately if he considers first use of nuclear weapons. It highlights Greene accusing the GOP of being a “boys club” that doesn’t respect women, and discusses her defending Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon against Laura Loomer’s racist attacks. Nixon is described as a Black, DSA-affiliated Florida candidate who won and doesn’t take corporate PAC money; Loomer is portrayed as emboldened by Trump’s access. The host also criticizes Google renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America,” Fox commentator Mark Wayne Mullen’s praise of Trump’s “law and order,” and depicts Israeli settler violence against NBC News. It calls for Democrats to win midterms and back progressive candidates like Zoran Abdul El-Sayed and Zoran Mamdani. Guests mentioned: Angie Nixon, Zoran Abdul El-Sayed, Zoran Mamdani.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, we have to keep our eyes on what is incubating after Donald Trump. And I've always spoken to you guys about Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massey, etc. They are the first to jump off the Trump train. And they have done so unapologetically and have drawn a line in the sand. We are no longer MAGA. But they gauge it, they guise it as MAGA abandon us. MAGA abandon us. So nonetheless, here is Tucker Carlson saying that Trump should be removed from office immediately. Play the clip. I was opposed to impeachment. The two impeachment attempts against Trump was strongly opposed to the whole thing was absurd.
0:44I believe in stability. I think elected leaders should serve out their terms. I don't hate Trump personally. So with all of that said, the second any president actively considers first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, immediately, because that's got to be the red line. destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike? I mean, so why isn't there an attempt to remove him from office? Okay. So everybody knows I have. There's no love loss for me and these people that have jumped off the Trump train first. I think they're dangerous. I think they are trying to clamor on to an economic populist message while still preserving the racism and the xenophobia to try to capture what is going to be a very disoriented MAGA cult base when this ends.
1:43So I agree with Tucker Carlson, though, or maybe he agrees with us, that Trump should be removed from office immediately. But again, I want to go back to in these situations like this, the Democratic establishment, the Democratic leaders should be leading on statements like this, not Tucker, not MTG, not Thomas Massey. We should have Democrats saying the president has lost his mind and now he is true socialing nuke videos yet again. He is not OK. We need to have him removed. And so I don't like that we're in a situation where we have these MAGA podcasters outflanking the Democratic Party. Speaking of that, here's MTG saying that the GOP doesn't respect women.
2:36Play the clip. Are women respected in the MAGA movement? I don't think women are respected in the Republican Party. It's a boys club. It literally is. and that comes from the top down. And it's really a shame. And then you have the president demeaning women constantly. He's constantly attacking women.
3:04And so that's, I mean, that's a pretty big bombshell. I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene is sitting there saying that the Republican Party doesn't respect women. Now, we've all known this forever. ever. But Marjorie Taylor Greene is sitting here on national television saying this stuff. And I am just so skeptical of this entire New America First party, because in it, you have Tucker Carlson, who says that like demonic attacks are on the rise. And he was a victim of one of the demonic attacks. You have Marjorie Taylor Greene, who the Jewish space lasers, there are only two genders, all of this business.
3:49But Marjorie Taylor Greene just went to bat for Angie Nixon. And Angie Nixon is a United States Senate candidate on the Democratic side. She is an incredible, absolutely incredible candidate. She's a black woman. She's a member of the DSA. She does not take corporate PAC money. She is speaking on a message of affordability, a true American, America first agenda that leaves no one behind. You can't be America first, Marjorie and Tucker, when you have a list of people that America first is for and you exclude some people. So, of course, all they have, MAGA, to attack Angie Nixon on is the color of her skin because she's that gifted.
4:39She's an incredible candidate, truly. She has done so many interviews, and we'll do a whole episode on her later this week. I'm trying to get her on, but she is a plus candidate. So Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out Laura Loomer's racism. But before we get to that, let me first put up state representative Angie Nixon's tweet. She tweets to Laura Loomer, girl, you ate dog food on camera. In the words of I am Queen Latifah, who you calling a bitch? And then Laura Loomer responds, I called you a ghetto bitch because you are Angie and your record proves it. but you speak Ebonics though. So maybe I need to bark at you and tug your leash and then you'll finally understand.
5:29That's so abhorrent and so disgusting because
5:38a lot of Republicans even feel more emboldened to be that brazen and that racist. And so I was curious to see who was going to come to Angie Nixon's defense, because we hear people that say we cannot conflate anti-Semitism with criticism of the country of Israel. And we hear the Democratic Party come out in droves to defend what they think is anti-Semitic. So I was curious to see who would come to her defense or all of these Democratic politicians that are wound up about Hassan Piker. Are they going to come to the defense of this senatorial candidate in Florida, a black woman who who really I mean, she went out and campaigned and fucking won.
6:34She's incredible. And so we looked and looked and I haven't seen any buddy on the left defend her. But I did see Marjorie Taylor Greene defend her. Pop this up. Marjorie says, I'm not a Democrat and I'm not supporting Angie Nixon, but the Republican Party and President Trump owns Laura Loomer and her nonstop vitriol. This hateful, racist, and demeaning rhetoric should not be tolerated ever, but they allow it and keep her in the inner circle. Loomer hurts Republicans, et cetera, et cetera. She says she denounces Laura Loomer and her nasty, hateful, racist comments.
7:15again marjorie taylor green is not a credible messenger to me because when it comes to equality she has um uh she excludes trans people from that for example um she has on the outside of her her office there are only two genders and that's just the point of that is just to be a dick to trans people the whole point of that is just just to be mean to trans people and trans people have the same issues every other American has. They've got kitchen tables. They have affordability issues. They even have even more issues because you've got a weaponized government against you and several news channels against you.
7:51So this type of racism, the Democratic Party must jump out and support Angie Nixon immediately. And when we get outflanked by Tucker Carlson on Trump must be removed immediately, and we're getting outflanked by Marjorie Taylor Greene on defending our Black senatorial candidate, I have to ask the Democratic establishment if Angie Nixon wasn't critical of Israel, would you have defended her a little quicker? If Angie Nixon wasn't critical of the establishment Democratic Party, would you have defended her a little quicker? If she took AIPAC money, would you have jumped all on board immediately and defended her?
8:45Because this is just completely one million percent. Laura Loomer, it's like, it goes, Donald Trump, the bunny boiler, Natalie Harp, and then Laura Loomer. Like the bunny boiler and Laura Loomer appear to have more access to the president of the United States than anybody on the planet. And that's why Laura Loomer feels so emboldened to do this because she's like, sure, cancel me all you want to. Trump never will.
9:15And Marjorie Taylor Greene is outflanking Democratic leadership on defending our senatorial candidate, a black woman down in Florida. This is just unacceptable across the board. And so Angie Nixon, I want you to come on. I've had it. Kylie, you're reaching out, right? I want to have her on the podcast. So just go donate to this woman, Angie Nixon. Go listen to some of her speeches. Go watch some of her stuff on YouTube. She is an incredible candidate, absolutely incredible candidate. Moving along from that, Google is caving to Trump's kindergarten diplomacy popped this up pathetic google is now referring to lake ontario as lake america that's so embarrassing for google i mean it's just how humiliating how humiliating that all these tech oligarchs bend the knee to this dipshit and then of course speaking of dipshits mark wayne mullen kisses trump's ass on fox play the clip that trump ran on restore restoring law and order the american people responded and he got the largest election than we've ever had in American history with more voters that ever voted.
10:27And thank God they restored our law and order in the streets. And you're seeing that because of President Trump's policies. We're having record level criminal activity drop. We've had the lowest murder rates, the lowest carjackings. It's just the nonstop fawning and ass kicking, ass kissing that these men have to do on Fox News because they know that Trump is a psycho Fox News watcher. He watches it 24-7, 365. He watches it so much that I even saw towards the end of last week, Brett Baer, who's considered the news part of Fox, which is still complete propaganda, actually was somewhat, I think, reported maybe the truth that a couple of Trump's candidates, I can't remember what the facts were.
11:13Donald Trump tweets out to Brett Baer, and he has to then read the tweet and go, Mr. President, blah, blah, blah. It's pretty gross stuff. And here's a video of NBC News team being beaten by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Play the clip.
11:47Okay, so, you know, as all of these things are going on, we still have a lot of politicians who unapologetically support Israel. and I look at it like this. I do not support the government of the United States of America, and it should be criticized from top to bottom, left to right, as viciously, as truthfully, as relentlessly as possible. You should hold no punches in critiquing Donald Trump and all of the people in this country. You should critique the 77 million people that voted for him. You should go full tilt because it's dark. It's awful. They're dismantling our country. They are opening up concentration camps in the United States of America, and you should not hold back at all.
12:43And likewise, Israel should be criticized from top to bottom, left to right. We should hold no punches. This whole notion that the United States of America and Israel want to lecture all of us about democracy. And they're, you know, the only democracy in the Middle East, and we're the shining democracy on the hill. It's all bullshit. Look at it. Look at how gross both of these countries are turning out to be. Look at the egregious human rights violations. Look at the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn't let the press into Gaza. Look at the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu's government and his IDF have killed hundreds of journalists.
13:28Look at the fact that Donald Trump every single day demeans journalists. He's threatening to ruin Kristen Welker's career because she hurt his feelings by saying that he's not that great of an endorser anymore. These people are not supporters of democracy. They deserve to be criticized. For Benjamin Netanyahu's government, who's already killed all of these journalists, then beating up NBC News team journalists, it's not going to stop until we have politicians that succinctly and crystal clear call it out for what it is. And the politicians that have been doing that and the politicians that don't take corporate PAC money have been winning.
14:18Zoran, Abdul El-Sayed. Who freaked out the most about Zoran? Who is freaking out the most about Abdul? Who's freaking out the most about Angie Nixon? Corporate Democrats. That should tell you everything you need to know. And then finally, Zoran Mamdani responds to a kid who tells him he could be king. Play the clip. I promise. If you want it, put the lemon water. You can put it back in the air.
14:49You are the mayor. I am the mayor. You're right. I just haven't heard it said like that. You should become the king. I'm happy as the mayor. We're going to do it together. King is better. Jalen Brunson is the king. So, you know, this is just a prime example of what real leadership looks like. Because if Donald Trump were with kids roasting marshmallows, and I know that's terrible to even think about for the imaginary kids that we're putting into this hypothetical situation. And the kids said, you could be king. Donald Trump would go, I agree. I totally should be king. You should see what I'm doing to the oval.
15:30Did you hear what I just did to the lake? I mean, so I say all of the things that are going on here because, number one, the Democrats have to win. this midterm. But we also have to keep electing the most progressive candidates we can find, because otherwise we are not the party of FDR. We are the party of corporate America. And that type of politics leaves so many people behind and favors oligarchs and favors corporations and makes all of us less safe. And the wealth gap is just astronomical. And the racism that is allowed to be used in these systems because they have to scapegoat people. It's not a world any of us in this channel, in this part of the left-wing media ecosystem want to be a part of.
16:23So I implore you to vote, even if you have to go vote for a corporate Democrat, wherever you live, if that's your only option, do it because it's a million times better than a MAGA politician and I'll die on that hill. But these changes of getting the Democratic Party back, pulling it back to the party of FDR, it's going to take a couple of election cycles. So that's why we have to walk and chew gum. We can both at the same time build up the party while also giving it constructive criticism. And that's the difference between MAGA and us. In MAGA, you cannot criticize anything. You cannot criticize the president.
17:02You cannot criticize his cabinet. You cannot criticize any of them because it is a cult on our side. We can both support the party to win the midterms, but also critique the leadership for not going hard enough against Trump, for not defending Angie Nixon, for getting outflanked by Marjorie Taylor Greene. And listen, I don't buy into it with Marjorie Taylor Greene. But at least somebody is saying something. Because Hakeem and Chuck chuckles, they should be front and center defending this woman against Laura Loomer, when they talk to us about equality. Are they doing it? Are they applying it equally as well?
17:47And sometimes I just don't think they do. And that's devastating. But at the same time that I'm critical of the Democratic Party. I want to be crystal clear that we all, wherever you live, whatever districts you're in, and as much as you might not like your choice, I believe it is far better to vote for the Democrat than any sort of MAGA Republican ever.
