In short

The episode argues that U.S. and UK authorities’ handling of political and sexual-crime scandals exposes hypocrisy in the Trump/MAGA world. It claims Mitch McConnell’s silence about his own alleged death is suspicious; it criticizes Democrats for not aggressively pushing special-election demands (citing Andy Beshear as a potential 2028 candidate). It also discusses a New York Times report that the FBI will stop investigating ICE killings, arguing local/state enforcement must fill the gap. The main guest segment focuses on Andrew and Tristan Tate: arrested in Miami on a UK extradition request tied to allegations of sexual assault, rape, and trafficking reported by seven victims. The hosts claim Baron Trump is a fan and allege Tate ties to Trump administration figures, including Paolo Zampoli, a Trump envoy linked in reporting to Epstein connections.

Notable examples

the “having sex with a woman is gay” quote; Tate’s DC partying before arrest; Zampoli’s alleged involvement in Melania’s introduction to Trump; and the Maxwell “sweetheart deal” comparison.

0:36Angie Sullivan:It's fascinating that Mitch McConnell hasn't said a peep about Lady Graham's death. Utterly fascinating that this senator who plundered and pillaged the United States Constitution and the Supreme Court cannot get on video to say, hey, guys, I'm fine. I'm here.

0:59Angie Sullivan:I'm received calls indicating that McConnell was dead. Play the clip. Then a month before anything had been put out, not even an official statement from Senator McConnell. In fact, I've gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he'd pass. So here's the thing. Andy Brashear, I think, you know, is probably somebody who's going to run in 2028. He is a Democrat who's proven that he can win in red states. And this is where the political strategy of the way the Democrats still operate really irritate me. I think he's getting advice. Don't be cautious, tiptoe into this.

1:45Angie Sullivan:Don't piss anybody off. The base wants somebody who says, I'm calling a special election right now. I haven't heard from him. I haven't seen any proof that he's alive. This photograph is insufficient. I have people calling me, telling me he's dead. We're having a special election. And he should be on the airwaves nonstop saying, this is what Mitch McConnell will do. This is the new Democratic Party. We're going to reach a new New Deal. We're not messing around anymore. They want to F around. They're going to find out. Special election. Happy 8 ,953rd birthday, Mitch McConnell. Bring it. Let's see you.

2:22Angie Sullivan:Let's say you go campaign. I completely agree. And for me, who I really like, Andy Breshear as a candidate, my test for him is, are you going to sit around on talk shows and talk about it? Are you going to put pussyfoot around about, can I reappoint somebody? And then we're going to have to go to court based on this law the Republicans ran in the state house, whatever. Are we going to call the special election pursuant to the law and say, let's fucking go? And if he does not do that, then he's not for me. I can't support him because he's not a fighter. I agree. I want a fighter. I want a fighter.

2:59I want somebody that just says, this is not politics as usual anymore.

3:04Angie Sullivan:Mitch McConnell kept a Supreme Court justice pick from the American people, Barack Obama, who won in a landslide and an electoral college landslide, both. He usurped the will of the people. And now we have this, you know, snot slinging, crying Brett Kavanaugh, alleged sexual assaulter, this creepy handmaid Amy Coney Barrett. And this is all because of Mitch McConnell. And I think you do to Mitch McConnell what he's done to us. And do it for the country. But whatever. All right. Republicans have a new strategy for the midterms. Pop this up. GOP midterm strategy. Make it a hate election. This is what I thought they'd always done.

3:48Angie Sullivan:This is not really newsworthy to me. Republicans admit the GOP's midterms forecast is bleak, but they're clinging to two hopes. Voters fear and loathing of Democrats. It's going to be a hate election, a Republican tied to President Trump's political operation told Axios. Voters have to hate the Dems more than they hate us. And we have material work. We have material to work with. This is what I have been saying for years now. quit trying to get Republicans to vote for Democrats. They never will. Republicans are a personality type that are incapable of critical thinking, that cling to money and racism as their driving ethos and to shield from their greed and to shield from their just abject immorality.

4:41Angie Sullivan:they um christian signal oh family values oh my god these trans people so that's why you hear donald trump saying all the time it's trans everything it's transgender for everybody i mean this is the guy donald trump who thinks the chips act has uh transistors and he thinks whenever he hears the word trans that that means trans people but it works with the base it works with the base because these people are terrified. Trump and his cabal of submissive wives are terrified of drag queens, of books, of diversity, of black people, of women, of lesbians, of gay people, of trans people. These people are the softest people imaginable.

5:31Angie Sullivan:I completely agree. And here's the thing. Despite all the data that is so readily available, I read, I was reading over the weekend of the results of a focus group where Republicans are still saying, I'm not sure I can trust the Democrats with the economy because the Republicans are better with the economy. To your point, they're never going to learn. They're never going to switch. This is who they are. It's part of their religion to be Republican. That's exactly right. All right, moving along. pop this up. The FBI will no longer investigate ICE killings. And this is from the New York Times, Kyle Griffin Post.

6:08Angie Sullivan:Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents, cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters, according to people briefed on the decision. All I have to say about this, I'm not going to go too long-winded on it is this is the republican party this is their religion this is their faith the people who lecture everybody about family values and uh you know we're a christian nation they're all pathological liars these people are liars they want a system that's rigged for white people full stop that's they want the money rigged for them they want all of the jobs rigged for them They want, they feel superior.

7:00Angie Sullivan:And underneath all of that are morally inferior and morally depraved human beings. That's what we share this country with. And the Republican Party has perfectly exploited this personality and moral weakness in this sect of people. And that's why these people live in fear 24-7, 365. They're scared of the liberal white woman. And think about what a bunch of pussies, these grown ass men are, that they would be scared of pumps in me. And they will say it. The white liberal woman is ruining America. Just like fucking go put your pacifier in your mouth, you titty baby. I mean, please. I've never seen so many soft people in my life.

7:46Angie Sullivan:Completely. And I just, I can't add anything to that because you're exactly right. I didn't have a lot of confidence in Kash Patel's FBI. But so basically what my takeaway from this is we have got to have local law enforcement pound down the doors when things of this nature happen. There is no excuse because what they're saying is you don't have to wear body cams. You can wear a face mask. You can kill people and there won't be any investigations. You'll just be reassigned because that's what's been happening. And they have completely cut local law enforcement out. They're just now starting from Renee Good and Alex Preddy to release that information.

8:29Local law enforcement and state law enforcement needs to be relentless in pursuing this because the federal government's going to try to cover it up. Full stop.

8:38Angie Sullivan:Agree. All right. And then you have Andrew and Tristan Tate, sexual abusers, alleged sexual abusers. I want to remind everybody that Andrew Tate said on one of his streams that having sex with a woman is gay, which is a really weird thing to say for like somebody who's the, you know, like a mood board for the right wing MAGA's version of masculinity. Well, they get arrested in Miami. Play the clip. They were arrested on an extradition request. I want you to notice the way Andrew Tate kind of moves in his outfit. Anyway, they were arrested on an extradition request from the United Kingdom following an investigation into sexual crimes reported by seven victims, according to the UK Crown Prosecution Service.

9:29Angie Sullivan:The charges include sexual assault, rape and trafficking. Of interest to me in this, and these guys should be in prison. I want to remind everybody that it is alleged that Baron Trump is a huge fan of the Tate Brothers, which is just incredibly sad that young boys, young men look to him a rapist for inspiration. But look at his ensemble. He has on capri pants and, you know, this purple top. And Kylie found where he bought it from. There was an ad you can see on the right, this woman that is wearing the exact same outfit that Andrew Tate is wearing. So let's just cumulatively talk about this, you guys.

10:19Angie Sullivan:In this right wing movement, you have these men that have these sexual secrets and they've all kind of formed these alliances. And to keep their secrets, they're plundering Western civilization. and then he's running around dressing like a woman. And then, you know, I'm sure J.D. Vance would not condemn Andrew Tate. I'm sure he wouldn't even dream of doing such a thing. And so you have the Trump administration that carries favor with the Tate brothers, and they wear all these women's clothes. And then you have Pete Hexeth, who wears a full face of makeup and does gender-affirming care. And so, I mean, I know we beat this all the time, but this is the biggest group of closeted bi's, bi-curious, gays, queens I've ever seen in my life.

11:12Angie Sullivan:It's just these men, I'm going to say in quotes, are really broken, disturbed individuals that the most religious, the most outwardly religious people in our country refuse to condemn. Meanwhile, they're like, oh, the white liberal woman is ruining America. I mean, it's it's exhausting. It is exhausting. And the Tate brothers, I mean, remember before Donald Trump was reelected that they were under house arrest in Romania facing sex trafficking, rape charges, the same charges. They came over to the United States. They made it. Trump's government made a play for them and brought them back here from Romania.

12:01Andrew Tate has said he's like really good friends with Don Jr., with Barron, and he's quote unquote, very close with the Trump family. And then it is reported that just prior to his arrest, he was in DC parting with Trump administration officials hosted by the Special Envoy for Global Partnerships in the Trump administration. So it's like, hmm, Epstein, Epstein elite. We're going to party with them because we don't give a fuck about little girls being raped and sex trafficked. And we're going to party with the tape brothers of the world because we don't give a fuck about women full stop. This is, this should be the lead story in every single newspaper that these two men with all the hate they trafficked by their own admission, beat women when you fuck them, that kind of shit, that they're, they're in the inner circles of DC.

12:59And my question is, is the Trump administration going to approve the extradition? That's the next step. I'm sure they probably will. But then you don't know because Ghislaine Maxwell got a sweetheart deal. So it's just hard to predict. Yeah.

13:11Angie Sullivan:And it's just it's not surprising that the people in the Trump regime are fans of the Tate brothers. All of these things live together, which brings me to, OK, we know all of this. Where is the opposition party? Why are the Democrats not having evening every night press conferences about the moral depravity, calling out little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, who will not shut the fuck up about how tight he and Jesus Christ are? Even Jesus even told him, hey, buddy, you're Moses. Why are we not putting so much pressure on them? This is what the Republicans do. They hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer.

13:55Angie Sullivan:Here's what the Democrats do. well, they're just messing up so bad. We'll just let them keep messing up. No, you got to go for the jugular. It's just so maddening. And I want to remind everyone that Paolo Zampoli, he is the man who is very close to Trump, who provides a lie, an alibi, in my opinion, for how Trump and Melania met. Of course, Paolo Zampoli's ex-wife, Amanda Ungaro, said that they met because Melania was a hooker and Epstein assigned and or passed on Melania to Donald Trump. So the Tate brothers were partying with Paolo Zampoli before their arrest. Pop this up. Andrew and Tristan Tate spent the days before their arrest partying in Washington, D.C.

14:48Angie Sullivan:as guests of Paolo Zampoli, Donald Trump's U.S. special envoy for global partnerships and a longtime friend of Trump and Melania. Zampoli is the former modeling executive who says he brought Melania to the United States and introduced her to Donald Trump. His name has also surfaced repeatedly in reporting surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's modeling world connections. And there's more. Zampoli previously acknowledged contacting a senior ICE official about Amanda Ungaro, the mother of his child during a bitter custody dispute. She was later taken into immigration custody and deported, although Zampoly denies that he asked ICE to detain her.

15:32Angie Sullivan:Now we learn that the Tate brothers facing rape and sex trafficking charges in Britain were being welcomed and entertained in Washington by a Trump administration envoy shortly before federal authorities arrested them in Miami. That raises some very serious questions. Who invited them? Who did they meet with? And why were they being embraced by someone so close to Trump's inner circle? Stay tuned. There's so much more coming. This comes from Lev Parnas. And I want to say, why are they parting with people in Trump's inner circle? Because birds of a feather flock together. that's why paolo zampoli is lying per his ex-wife he is lying and providing melania and donald cover that he introduced them when his ex-wife says no it was through jeffrey epstein and i tend to believe the ex-wife and let me tell you why because melania did that batshit crazy press conference out of the clear blue sky when nobody was asking what her interactions were with Jeffrey Epstein.

16:42Angie Sullivan:She just volunteers all of this crazy ass shit. And of course, Donald Trump and all of the people have no problem with Andrew Tate. They have no problem with Tristan Tate. Birds of a feather flock together. And I just want to leave you all with this. It is not normal for a heterosexual male to say having sex with a woman is gay. Like there is Freudian shit all through this, all through the Trump regime. And it is homophobia plus misogyny plus a closet full of secrets. And those are the men that are plundering our nation and the Western world at large right now all right that's all we have like and subscribe we'll be back later with more news
