In short
The episode argues that MAGA “alpha” men are insecure about Donald Trump’s strength, citing a poll where 39% of Republicans think Trump (79) could beat them in a fight (vs 33% who think they could beat him). The host claims Trump’s loyalists enable his appearance (alleging he does his own makeup) and that succession politics will center on JD Vance vs Marco Rubio for MAGA/cult “capture,” with Rubio positioned as an establishment alternative.
Notable examples
a reported $200,000-per-person Vance dinner in Oklahoma City; prediction markets favoring Rubio for 2028; and a claim Trump will “rat-f***” Rubio to install Ivanka/Don Jr. The episode then discusses an FBI raid of Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas (Black woman) tied to redistricting; it highlights her X post “you all started it and we fucking finished it” to Ted Cruz, and alleges scrutiny/racism and possible media tip-offs (Fox News).

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04In a fascinating turn of events, all of the MAGA men think they're so strong and alpha men. And so that's why this poll really took me aback. New poll, more Republicans think Donald Trump, 79, could beat them in a fight than the inverse. 39 % think Trump would beat them. 33 % think they would beat him. And so 39 % of MAGA think Trump could whoop their ass. I mean, that's stunning to me. I could beat Trump's ass. I mean, it would be so easy. Easy. It would be easy. Squeeze his ankles in his hands, stop the blood flow in his body. Here's his hair. Oh my God. If you punched him though, your hand would slide off because of all the makeup.
0:55I do think that here's the thing that tells me how pathetic these men view themselves that they think Trump can beat them. Either they view themselves that way, or they're so, worship a 79-year-old obese man that has to wear a full face of makeup that talks about how hot other men are all the time, increasingly, that even behind his back, they feel like they would be betraying him. It's like, will the pollster know? Will they tell Trump who doesn't even know who they are? It's really weird. It's a really weird psychology. But anyway, Anyway, let's take a look at these hands, these fighting hands.
1:41There we go. So look at these hands, you guys. This is getting really bad. So our weekend at Bernie's mental patient here, it was always the one hand. And now we've switched to the other. And I don't know what's worse. I don't know if it would just be better to own your bruises or, you know, he's got all of this caked on makeup on his hands. And the rumors are that he's getting some sort of intravenous trial for his dementia or Alzheimer's, that he's on some sort of medication intravenously that's trying to help him with his mental collapses, which I don't know that the drugs are helping much.
2:19Well, I mean, if they are, then it's worse than we think. But here's the thing on this. I know I've talked about this for every minute that this has been a podcast. why is somebody not doing the makeup better? Why are we not blending? Why is it? Because we know he's surrounded by loyalists. Nobody tells him anything that can embarrass him. That is the way this operates. That's the way it operates. And we have to understand that these strong men and their narcissism and their thin skinned nature, they will not surround themselves with any truth teller, not even a person that will say your makeup looks bad.
3:05Why is his makeup? Why does it not look better? Because he does his own makeup. We know that from multiple reports from people that works around, he does his own facial makeup. He's doing his own hands because nobody can do better than him. And that's why at these cabinet meetings, you have people that effusively pile on praise to him and humiliate themselves because this is a a very important psychological component. You want a leader who will surround themselves with people who will say, I think that's a bad idea. Right. I do not think that's a good idea, or I do not think this looks good. I don't think this is great for optics.
3:41I think this is a bad policy. That's the problem that something so benign as putting makeup on your hand, he won't even get an expert makeup person because he's the expert makeup person. And then this is something I think is really fascinating as we dive into the Game of Thrones succession, if you will, and merging those two television hits, who is going to capture the cult? And I did an episode on, I believe Tucker Carlson is in cult capture mode. But JD Vance thinks he's going to capture it. We were, Pumps and I received a screenshot from some friends in Oklahoma City that was circulating all around.
4:22J.D. Vance had a$200 ,000 per person dinner in Oklahoma City two or three nights ago. And I mean, how many dipshits paid that much for him? But Marco Rubio is the guy that establishment Republicans hide and watch. They're going to be like, Marco Rubio was there to try to prevent Trump from himself. Marco Rubio knew he was bad because everything by the time we get to 2028 is going to be so food bar. He's going to come in as the traditional Republican savior. So he's soft launching his 28 run. Let's play the clip. Can I ask you, what is your hope for America at a time such as this? My hope for America?
5:06My hope for America is what it's always been. I think it's the hope I hope we all share. We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin by your ethnicity, but frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential. I've seen enough. I have seen enough. It is insulting to the intelligence of anybody who has been alive since this man was inaugurated the second time. The Kavanaugh rule, you can pull people over based on the color of their skin.
5:37The dismantling of the voters' rights act. You know what he's doing? He's playing here because He knows we have a diverse multicultural society. There is a diverse multicultural electorate. He himself is of Cuban descent and he's trying to play the I'm not a racist card while he works for the biggest racist since the segregation. It's just the gaslighting and the duplicity is so disgusting, both from all the way up to the top to the people you know in your personal lives. That's what disgusts me most. nobody has any goddamn conviction. Well, and this ad, I mean, I was just like, you cannot be serious.
6:18When I first saw it, I thought it was AI, somebody making fun of Marco Rubio. Because it's just, I mean, it is so ridiculous, ridiculously false. He goes against everything he's talking about. All right. And then the prediction markets put Rubio in first place. Pop this up. Here he is. Lil Marco Rubio is now the odds favorite to win the 2028 presidency. And so I also just want to say I'm on a watch here. I have a prediction. Trump will rat fuck Marco. I've been talking about this because he will want Ivanka or Don Jr. to run. And I think he's going to push for Ivanka to run. He is a eugenist. He believes that he has superior genes.
7:02He will rat fuck little Marco and he will want somebody with the last name Trump to take over this, what they all perceive as a dynasty. And his kids are dipshit enough to do it because Ivanka went in Trump 1.0 and worked in the White House as a chief advisor. And she has no, she had no, no necessary experience at all to do this. But these people operate on so much hubris. They never think, God, I have no business working in the White House. And moving on to another important story that happened yesterday. Let's pop this up. FBI raids office of Dem State Lawmaker in Virginia who led redistricting efforts.
7:47And I want to point out to those of you listening, she is a black woman. And that is a very important piece to what the case we're about to build here. The FBI confirmed it was, quote, executing a court authorized federal search warrant in Portsmouth, but did not explicitly state a target of its probe or what it was investigating. The investigation is ongoing and there is no threat to public safety, the agency said. And then Politico is reporting the following. Lucas, 82, has long been an outspoken figure in state politics and gained national attention in recent months for helping lead the effort to redraw the state's congressional maps, which could help Democrats gain four additional seats in the coming midterm elections, she routinely took shots at President Donald Trump and statewide Republicans with bombastic posts on social media throughout the process.
8:42In quotes, she said, you all started it and we fucking finished it, she wrote on X, to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who called out the Virginia maps as a Democratic gerrymander. And here's what's important. And this is why I bring up the color of her skin. A black woman saying something like that about Trump and saying something like that to Ted Cruz is going to get far more scrutiny and she's going to get her offices raided. And Angie and I are able to say a lot more things because of the color of our skin on these podcasting spaces than people of color are able to say. People that might be Muslim might be able to not criticize Israel, but when we do it, we don't get near as much scrutiny.
9:27And here's this black woman, and I love her. I love her. I love exactly what she said. I love her for going directly after Senator Ted Cruz. And this is how she responds to all of this. Ms. Lucas, pop this up. All right. Senator Louise Lucas puts up a lengthy post, and at the end, she says, I am not backing down, and I will keep fighting for the people of Portsmouth and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Angie. Angie. Here's the thing. I agree with everything you said. I would also say, we've seen this with gerrymandering, and this is just, you know, encapsulates it totally. Putting a Black woman on it just makes it chef's kiss.
10:04But these people, Trump calls Abbott, he were Abbott redistricts without a vote. The Democrats do it with the vote. And Republicans Republicans are furious. And so I know this is juvenile, but it's, they can dish it out, but they can't take it. They just can't. Well, and I think it shows you the lesson in this for me is how laser focused they are on cheating. Like laser focused and it shows you how they're playing this game, the Republicans and MAGA and the Democrats are playing a different game, except for this Ms. Louise. She's like, listen up. You started it and we're fucking finishing it, Lion Ted Cruz.
10:46I love her. I love that. And she is the fighter that the spirit, the fighting spirit that the Democratic Party needs to take. They need to take that in because I'm so worried that we are going to, after the blue tsunami, if everything goes according to plan, that some of these do-nothing Democrats are going to kind of give them all a pass again and not go full tilt at them. And then each slide is further and further descending into this bogus democracy that they are trying to make. And this is crazy, Angie. So Portsmouth, Virginia, just ironically, Fox News was on the scene when the raid happened, leading many online to wonder how on earth did they have a camera crew in Portsmouth, Virginia?
11:41Pop it up. Here's the video of it. So this is just now Fox News is a national television show. So here they are on the scene. I mean, I don't think Kash Patel, I mean, he's so on the up and up. He's a very moral person. Surely he wouldn't have called Fox News. You think he got all liquored up? I heard he doesn't even drink. He's a known teetotaler, right? He wouldn't have called Fox News. He would never have called Fox and leaked this. So it was on Fox News to show this woman. And I'm sure on Fox News, they're just, you know, have hard ons that they can't even get over. They're so excited. But, you know, it is a sad, sad day that Kash Patel with his liquor bottles, with his, you know, logo and all that shit on it.
12:30And this woman from Virginia who read who led something by the law, she did what the law said she could do. She operated within the law. And then you have Kash Patel who posts all his shit on social media, tips off Fox News, in my opinion. It never follows the law, circumvents the law in every way that she is, that he is the director of the FBI and she is a state senator. Yeah. And there's a history of the MAGA men and the MAGA movement of really going after specifically women of color. That is something Donald Trump cannot stomach. He really doesn't like women, but particularly black women. And so the fact that a black woman called out fat ass Ted Cruz online and led the charge on this is something that Donald Trump would want rectified.
13:26And because Kash Patel is a prostitute bought and paid for and hogtied by Donald Trump and his girlfriend, the country music sensation, Alexis, all he has to do is say, I don't I want you to raid these offices, just like Fulton County, Fonnie Willis, another black woman. You could, you could just, all of this stuff is all, James, and the AI of, of Michelle Obama. And so this is a time listener where white allyship is just so important. And it's so important to call out this racism because they are moving the goalposts and they are, They are untethering the racists to be able to, for this to be more mainstream.
14:11We need to put that, you know what, in her place, Kash Patel. You need to go show her. And this is terrifying stuff because these people are weak. All right. So then you think, okay, how did this happen? Well, pop this up. per the doj's official justice manual any quote advance warning of a raid to media parentheses fox news news required high level approval and i'm going to tell you exactly how this went down donald trump hates black women little lion fat ass ted cruz called trump said did you see what that state senator said about me he goes don't worry ted i've got your back ted then then trump calls Cash, who's like, oh, let's raid them.
15:01Can I go? You got a small XSS jacket for me to go in? Lexus, I'll be back. You can blow me later. Let's go raid this woman. Literally. And I know that that's ridiculous, but that's how our federal government is operating right now. I wish I could say, well, this was an official thing. And our very responsible, serious president called our very responsible, serious leader of the FBI, and they decided and went to a judge and blah, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. You would be detached from reality if we said her and acted like this went through official channels, this raid was on the up and up.
15:38I mean, Trump's mad, Ted Cruz has his feelings hurt. So that's why we sent in teeny tiny Kash Patel.
15:49I have to leave it there because that's the best teeny tiny cash battle. We'll be back later with more news.
