In short
The episode is a rant-style “check-in” arguing that MAGA Republicans and Trump’s cabinet are corrupt, hypocritical, and dangerous, with lies driving policy while corporate interests profit. The host claims citizens should distrust government and highlights alleged misinformation about school gender transitions (asserting there are “zero cases” of child transition surgeries), and cites Epstein-related figures: Leon Black allegedly suing to block subpoenas; the host says Black paid Epstein $158M and frames this as evasion of accountability. It also attacks Brooke Rollins’ claims about Trump helping ranchers, Todd Blanche’s comments on schools, and Howard Lutnick’s alleged “misspoke” apology about deaths in the Iran conflict. Notable examples include Mitch McConnell’s prolonged absence, Mike Johnson canceling House work, and record corporate profits ($4.8T) without worker pay increases.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, the hypocrisy in MAGA world is just, we shouldn't be surprised by it, but it still sometimes still takes my breath away. Let's do a little check in on Katie Miller's hit podcast, Fireside Chats with Nazis, as I like to refer to it. Play the clip. All of this has just been lie after lie after lie. And I just, I have a hard time believing in the government anymore. Well, and I think as citizens, it's our job to be suspicious of the government. Like when people complain about like people questioning things, I'm like, we're Americans. That's what we do. We don't trust the government. Like that's what it is to be American.
0:39Do you find you're still questioning other like cabinet secretaries when you see something in the news and you're like, but is that true? Because I know I certainly do because I'm still distrustful of the government understanding we're in the government. So I find myself asking questions when I see something. Yeah, I have a lot of questions. I have a lot. you are the government. You are inside the Death Star. You are the government. But what an interesting tell that Katie, when she's sitting around with her little bridge troll husband, Stephen Miller, that she sees a report about another cabinet member and she immediately thinks, I don't trust that snake.
1:17And I called it, I told you guys this work environment is as toxic as all get out. But the fact that that Republicans love now that they have control of a lot of states in my home state of Oklahoma, Republicans have a 30 year super majority or close to 30 year super majority. And they're like, we got to take our country back. We need to change Oklahoma. I'm like, from what? You've controlled everything. And now right now, the government is controlled by MAGA. Every single bit of it, even the private sector and the media is controlled by MAGA. They bought up CBS. They're trying to buy CNN. They bought TikTok.
1:58They own Instagram. They own Apple, Google, you name it. And they're still victims. That's how broken these people are. When they're winning and they can control everything, they don't realize it because they're still broken. And this is the bargain of broken people. If I move, my problems will be fixed. If we win the presidency, my problem will be fixed. And then they get that to happen for them, only to find they even feel emptier and they even feel worse. We are governed by dark, dumb people. Both of those things at the same time. The darkest people who are also simultaneously dumb dipshits.
2:41And to prove this, let's go ahead and take a look at another person in the cabinet that we might think, hmm, can we trust that guy? To quote Katie Miller, can I trust this guy? Let's do a little check-in with Todd Blanche. We partnered with the Department of Education recently to combat this very trend and really pandemic that's happening in some school districts around the country. Some school districts, when we reach out to them, are complying with the law. Okay. What he is talking about there are secret school gender transitions, which there are zero cases of, similar to the zero number of trans athletes playing in the WNBA.
3:27Things are so bad for MAGA. Their policies are so bad. They're making shit up to talk about as that, well, we're addressing it. This is really a pandemic in America. No child has gone to school and received a transitional surgery. It has never happened. Yet the Republicans continue to lie about this all the time because that's all they have. Picking on less than 1 % of the population, accusing them of doing things that absolutely have never been done. This does not exist. These people are crazy. And then, of course, all of the Epstein associates, all of them, are trying to avoid accountability.
4:11And let's pop this up, Kylie. Billionaire Leon Black is suing the House Oversight Committee to block subpoenas in its Epstein investigation and is refusing to appear for testimony today. black paid jeffrey epstein more than 158 million dollars over six years representative robert garcia is now calling for black to be held in contempt of congress these people on top of being dark and dumb are dangerous they support child sex trafficking they support child sex abuse while it all the time. Remember Duffy telling his daughter, I don't want you to get corrupted by going to Harvard. Well, Secretary Duffy, I'd be far more concerned about your daughter visiting the White House around all of these pedophiles and pedophile protectors if I were you.
5:06I think Harvard would be a much safer place for her than the MAGA regime around all of your co-workers. And then let's do another check-in on another cabinet member that I'm sure Katie Miller sees this report and she's like, can I trust that? Let's listen to Brooke Rollins. No one has fought harder for these ranchers than has President Trump. I want to talk just for a second about what a President Kamala Harris would have looked like for farmers and ranchers. Ranchers would have been in prison. Just ask Heather and Charles Mott of South. They are really getting really desperate. I mean, now claiming that Donald Trump is fighting hard for farmers.
5:46Are you kidding me? What planet do you live on? He has dicked over farmers with his tariffs. Now he's importing contaminated beef from Argentina. Donald Trump could give two shits about the farmers, despite the farmers for Trump, much like the Latinos for Trump. All of the people that stand for Trump so hard, that shield for him so hard are all finding out how disposable they are. But to suggest that Kamala Harris would imprison farmers is just a reaching desperation. But this comes from the woman who said, if you can't afford eggs, get you some chickens and raise your own eggs in your backyard.
6:24Again, we are governed by dumb people. And then let's do a little check in on Howard Nutlick. Basically, he's being forced to apologize for his pathological lying spree he's been on the last 48 hours. Pop this up. Howard Letnick, or as Ron Filipkowski likes to call him, Howard Nutlick, is apologizing for asserting in an interview that, quote, there haven't been American deaths in the war with Iran, writing that he, quote, misspoke and confused the six-month conflict with the admin's prior hours long operation in Venezuela. Even in the apology to use stupidity as your alibi, oh, I totally confuse this with the Venezuela raid.
7:17We are governed by dark, dumb people. Their intentions are dark. Their intentions are nefarious. The only thing that might save us is their abject stupidity these people are so stupid but in that let me just show you this lie that republicans have propagandized over the american public for years that they care so much about the troops is utter they do not care about the troops donald trump is using the troops right now to make his sons dumb and dumber richer to make himself richer to make the oil companies richer, to make the military industrial complex richer, and to do a shakedown in the stock market every other day to enrich himself and his friends.
8:06And he does it all with these troops. He claims he loves and supports. So at this point, we know who Trump is. We know who Howard Nutlick is. We know Brooke Rollins is crazier than a shithouse rat. We know Katie Miller is just obsessed with Grey's anatomy, which we've covered at other times. And these people are idiots. But these people do not give a shit about this country or the troops. And the Republican Party that allows these lies and allows for this to continue, I'm talking about Moses Mike Grindr Johnson. I'm talking about a majority leader in the Senate, John Thune. I'm talking about Josh Hawley.
8:46I'm talking about, Kamala, you're not taking my cheeseburger. Lying Ted Cruz. It's like, yeah, Ted, we know. Nobody took your cheeseburger. That might have been a good thing if Kamala had done that. But they don't say anything about this. They're not like, hey, you guys aren't supporting the troops because they don't either. The Republican Party is built on lies. And not only do we have to defeat MAGA, we have to dismantle their lies. They're great with the economy. They love the troops. They're so good with national security. They're not. They lie and take us into wars all the time to make very few people richer off of deaths and exploitation.
9:24But they do it all in the name of Jesus. It's really, really dark shit. And you guys, we have just not done a little check in on where is Mitch McConnell? Where is this guy? Where is he? Pop this up. Fears grow for senior Republican as he remains out of public eye. Mitch McConnell's vanishing act hits major new milestones, says the Daily Beast. McConnell has not been seen in public in 80 days since he was rushed to the hospital on June 14, and has now been nearly a month since the Republicans team last provided an update in his recovery. Maybe what I'm about to say sounds crazy, and maybe it is.
10:06But I'm at the stage in the fascist takeover, where if I owned CNN right now, I would go to Scott Jennings and I would say, Scott, we are going to do an hour long special on you. And he'd be like, oh, great. He'd be so excited. He'd be, you know, like practicing in the mirror and this president, you know, I own so many libs and this president, all this crazy shit. And then I would get somebody to interview him to say, did you talk to Senator Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes? He'll say, oh, yeah, of course. And then I would say, are you willing right now to take a polygraph on live TV? We have FBI agents in here that are going to polygraph you and we're going to live stream the results.
10:51I'm at that stage with these people and their lies and their propaganda. And I realize that maybe sounds crazy, but I'm so sick and tired of American media putting liars on television. Mitch McConnell is so incredibly dangerous. His legacy that he leaves and what he has done with the Supreme Court is so abhorrent. But more than anything, always Republicans die in hypocrisy. He voted against health care for others. He voted against paid sick leave for others. And now he is receiving taxpayer funded health care and taxpayer funded sick leave. And he says, like all Republicans, I don't know you shit.
11:39I don't have to tell you jack shit. I've got a bunch of dipshits that will lie for me like Scott Jennings and others. and I just think we need to keep the pressure on this because if the roles were reversed, if Chuck Schumer was missing, Fox News, I mean, Lady Waters would be absolutely losing his mind. Kylie, play it. Here's what Lady Waters would be doing. There you go. There's Lady Waters frothing at the mouth. All right. And then we have little Moses Mike grinder and Mike Johnson and Republicans simply don't want to work. Pop this up. Breaking. Mike Johnson has canceled the last two weeks of September.
12:19The U.S. House will be out. Vote Democrat if you want things to change. Johnson also called this session of Congress the most productive, successful, and aggressive Congress since 1949. And I think it's in the top five of all time. I think what fascinates me about a lot of these MAGA Republicans, especially him, like a MAGA Christian, it's how they lie and they don't feel it. Like it's so automatic. It makes you think, oh, they've been lying their whole lives. Like this is their normal. I mean, he, this man has an incredible amount of power. And if he were the Christian that he says he is, he would be advocating for the children that Elon Musk through the illegal, in my opinion, illegal doge cuts that are no longer receiving medications or food.
13:09These poor children, I would think if I was a big follower of Jesus Christ, I would be pretty wound up about that. Little Grinder, he doesn't feel anything. There isn't even a heart rate change in this. Donald Trump being in the Epstein files, Todd Blanch moving a child sex trafficker to a cream puff prison. No heart rate change at all. You would think that if you were as tight as tick with Jesus Christ, as Moses Mike Grinder Johnson has us to believe all the time, that these are the things that would keep you up at night, that you would have a moral calling to go out and fight this injustice.
13:46But steady rubber stamps it and then lies about it. Oh, yeah, we're doing a bang up job here in Congress, says no one other than you and Donald Trump. And while all of this is happening, all of the stuff I've just shared with you all, it's all happening for a reason. There is a reason for all of this. Pop this up. U.S. corporate profits have hit a record high, reaching$4.8 trillion in the second quarter of this year alone. And here's the thing about those profits. Those profits do not prompt pay raises for the workers that work in these companies. They don't prompt additional benefits for the workers that work in these companies, the shareholders and the CEO.
14:36get hundreds of millions of dollars more because they kiss the ring to this president. And we have a very, very rigged society masquerading as this free market, shining democracy on the hill. It's not. We are a country that has politicians that are deep down prostitutes that whore out for all of these corporations to rig the system, not pay taxes, and fleece the American worker and then tell them they're lazy and or the immigrants are lazy. While the people that are lazy, I guarantee you, I guarantee you, the Amazon warehouse worker works a lot harder than Jeff Bezos does. All right, that's all I have.
