In short

The episode argues that Trump’s administration is hiding responsibility by keeping Stephen Miller out of public view while scapegoating others. Topic: Daily Beast–reported claim that Stephen Miller (architect of Trump’s harsh immigration policies; deputy chief of staff for policy; homeland security advisor) has gone into hiding after the Minnesota deaths of Alex Preddy and Renee Good, and has appeared on Fox News far less in February.

Key claims

Miller’s low favorability is due to public awareness of his “diabolical” policies, but operating privately is “more dangerous.” The host also claims Trump will blame J.D. Vance (“fraud czar”) and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for the Iran war, while Todd Blanche (Trump’s former attorney in felony cases) will be discarded amid Epstein-file pressure.

Notable examples

“zero tolerance” immigration; Preddy/Good deaths; stalled promotions of black female officers; Hegseth firing generals; Bondi replaced by acting AG Todd Blanche; Epstein-related DOJ questioning.

1:05America's top Nazi Stephen Miller has gotten the memo that everybody hates his guts. Everybody hates him. They pulled it. He has the worst favorability ratings of any American right now. Nobody likes Stephen Miller. The Daily Beast is reporting the following. The wildly unpopular Trump advisor has seemingly gone into hiding. Stephen Miller retreats into humiliation after deadly misstep. And here's what some of the Daily Beast article says. Stephen Miller, the architect of Donald Trump's most severe immigration policies, has seemingly been hiding from the American public. Miller, a longtime Trump advisor who serves as deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor, has avoided public appearances.

1:54The New York Times reported in the wake of a disastrous immigration crackdown that culminated in the deaths of two Americans in Minnesota, Alex Preddy and Renee Good, both 37, at the hands of federal agents. It goes on to say, additionally, a Times analysis found that Miller appeared on Fox News, the president's favorite network, once every four days since Trump returned to the White House. But in the wake of Preddy's January 24 death, Miller appeared on the network only twice in February, despite a national outcry over policies he has helped craft and polling in recent months, ranking him among the most loathed political figures in the United States.

2:39Miller still presides over shaping new zero tolerance immigration policies, just not as publicly. so is this a good thing or a bad thing first of all i love that everybody hates him good job on you guys secondly this is really dangerous and uh ryan uh one of our producers and i were talking about this morning and when he's on fox we can see how crazy he is we can see how diabolical he is and at the american public saw it and that's why he pulls so incredibly low so now he's doing all of this stuff in private with hardly any pushback at all. So to me, this makes it far more dangerous. And remember, Stephen Miller is the guy that wants to deport 100 million people, 100 million people.

3:32The United States has a population of 340 million people. Stephen Miller is a war criminal. He He traffics in anti-American, anti-Constitution Nazism. He is a propagandist to his core. And as we look at the people surrounding Trump, you have Nazi Stephen Miller, and then we have our little smoky-eyed sociopath, J.D. Vance, all right? J.D. Vance is the heir apparent of the MAGA movement. Peter Thiel, who is a very dangerous billionaire that owns Palantir, who decided he doesn't think we should have democracy anymore. He bought J.D. Vance because J.D. Vance is a prostitute available for purchase and installed him into the Trump regime.

4:20And so Trump, here's the thing about Trump. Trump has said, I like hanging out with losers. Makes me feel better about myself. And Trump is so petty and he's just such a such a vindictive queen that he will not allow anyone to shine. So in the dick over to end all dick overs, Trump puts J.D. Vance in charge of fraud, calling him the fraud czar. Pop this up. Ron Philip Kowski says in January 2025, he said Elon Musk was going to balance the budget with Doge finding fraud. On February 2nd, 2025, he said terrorists would balance the budget. On June 2nd, he said OBBB would balance the budget. On 612, he said Trump cards, remember the gold cards, would balance the budget.

5:12Now he says Vance will do it. And he says, We call him the fraud czar and his focus will be everywhere, but primarily in those blue states where crooked democratic, I can't even say the way he says it. He says crooked Democrat, obviously crooked democratic politicians like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota, Minnesota. And then he has to throw in racism, Somalia beware. And he goes on here and then he wishes JD the best of luck. to me, he's starting to scapegoat people because he's like, I think he wants the MAGA movement to die with him. I think that's how big his narcissism is. He's not going to be like, oh, JD, please carry on my policies and help America.

5:57This is all about Trump. When he dies, he wants it to die. So he has set up a policy of dick over and scapegoating. putting J.D. Vance as being in charge of fraud, the fraud czar. Do you remember how Biden put Kamala as the border czar and how much the Republicans exploited that? Democrats, here is an opportunity. The executive branch is a crime syndicate. It's full of dirty cops. President Trump's a dirty cop. J.D. Vance is a dirty cop. They hang out with dirty cops. It's not that deep. Pinning all of the fraud on J.D. Vance is an electoral winner for us because the fraud in this regime is so incredibly rampant.

6:44Pinning it all on J.D. Vance and doing reputational damage to him is a win for us. So thank you, President Kanks, for doing that. Now, here's who else he's dicking over. And we've been reporting on this for the last two or three weeks. He is setting it up to throw Pete Hegseth 100 % under the bus for the Iran war. And I love it when bad things happen to bad people. And I just want to say, Pete Hegseth is a racist, a sexist, and a homophobe and a hypocrite. He is in a state of MAGA slash Christian psychosis on a national scale, making Moses Mike Grinder Johnson look like a Christian-like Christian.

7:29OK, Pete Hegseth is completely insane. Let's watch this video right here. Then unfortunately, I came. I called Pete. I called General Cain. I called a lot of our great people. We have great people. And I said, let's talk. We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country known as Iran that for 47 years has been just a purveyor of terror. and they're very close to having a nuclear weapon. We can keep going and get that 50 ,000 up to 55 and 60 is no end. Or we can take a stop and make a little journey into the Middle East and eliminate a big problem. And Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up.

8:18So that's just one nugget. of where he's thrown Pete under the bus. He's also said that he thought about like ending the war and Pete's like, no, we should, we got to keep going. So there's no way this is a man who has avoided accountability his entire life. All of the fraud, little smoky, little smoky eye sociopath is going to have to put on an extra smoky eye when his ass gets hauled in front of a democratic Congress to account for all of the rampant criming and fraud with all of these dirty cops that run the federal government. And then Pete Hexeth, you're taking the fall, buddy. It's Nuremberg war criminal city here because Trump has immunity.

8:59And if you guys think he has a file somewhere with pardons for all of you guys, you have no idea how petty this man is. None. He will drop you like a box of hot rocks the second he doesn't need you. And the second you can be blamed for anything that helps him avoid accountability. And so under Pete Hegsess rule as the Secretary of Defense, and I refuse to call it the Secretary of War just for spite and because it's fucking stupid. The Armed Services Committee is going to have a lot of work to do because we are seeing so many generals get fired and a lot of generals not get promoted that have earned it.

9:43The military is a meritocracy. black men and women have earned promotions pete hexeth refuses to do it because he's an unrepentant racist and misogynist and um then the white generals that um push back on him that push back on his suggestion of war crimes that's just my opinion and that push back on him saying he will not promote people who have earned it then he shit cans them and so my thing is at some point there will be a reckoning for all of this. And so let's pop up this post. Greg T. Sargent posts news. Now that Hegseth fired another top general, Representative Adam Smith tells me that if Dems take the House, Armed Services Committee will seek testimony from people pushed out by Hegseth.

10:36Dems will also probe why he stalled promotion of black female officers. And this is just another question that I have. In my opinion, these could be just complete class action discrimination lawsuits. I mean, this is going to be a scandal surrounding the Pentagon for quite some time. We're just in the beginning stages of this. And why is he doing all this? Why is he firing all of these people? Because we know from Trump 1.0, Trump wants generals like Hitler's generals the people that worked with trump in his first administration quoted trump as saying why can't i have generals like hitler's generals and what he wants are people that are willing to be 100 loyal to him and people that will commit war crimes why does he want this because he doesn't like packing his toys up and leaving places and his toys have been scattered all over the white House this time.

11:35He's even tearing shit down like King Kong if he doesn't like something. So I believe he has eyes exactly where he wants it and they will be using voter suppression tactics on election day. But even despite that, I think that the election will be too big to rig and the blue tsunami will be so massive. So that's why he has to have a military in place that he can finally execute his long-term vision of this radical coup that he started January 6. All right, listeners, you know, my husband is a hypochondriac. I talk about it all the time on the podcast, but I think he's not alone in this. You know, a lot of us have these random symptoms and we doom scroll and then we're on AI diagnosing stuff.

13:42When do the images we see online become too much for us to handle? Job at Writer's Theater is an intense psychological thriller that skewers the insidiousness of the internet, the meaning of work, and the ramifications of a secret revealed. The off-Broadway sensation and edge-of-your-seat thriller about big tech and even bigger secrets is on stage at Writers Theater April 9th through June 14th. And then moving along in the Trump administration, Bondi is acting. Bondi has been replaced by acting AG Todd Blanche. And Todd Blanche is Trump's former attorney in his felony cases. So let me just tell you, Todd Blanche took, how many felonies did he get, Ryan?

14:3334? 34. So Todd Blanche is a 34-time loser in court. So remember when Trump said, I like to hang out with losers? One of the biggest losers that Trump likes to hang out with is his losing criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche. And any thought that something after Bondi would be better is a fool's errand because something after Bondi is going to be worse. And the biggest problem Trump has right now are these Epstein files because they are relentless. They are nowhere near fully released. And he is at the epicenter of them. Do we think Todd Blanche, the 34-time loser, is going to all of a sudden have a moral compass?

15:17No. Play the clip. To clarify, is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abused the girls with the information that you're releasing? And if not, why not? And then I have a quick follow-up. You just baked in an assumption into your question that I have never said and I don't know to be true. Is the public going to learn about men that abused these girls? What does that mean? I don't understand what that means. Well, I mean, the men who abused the young women through Epstein's... We said in July, and it remains as true today as it was in July, if we had information, we meaning the Department of Justice, about men who abused women, we would prosecute them, right?

16:08We talked about the work that we're doing. That's why I said that. I said this earlier, there's this built-in assumption that somehow there's this hidden trance of information of men that we know about that we're covering up or that we're choosing not to prosecute. That is not the case. I don't know whether there are men out there that abuse these women if we learn. Okay, they do know. They do fucking know. And now we know why he lost the felony case against Trump 34 times. So this guy is a dipshit who can't even answer a simple question. and he is a criminal defense attorney. So his instinct is he's going to go in and cover up.

16:45So what happens to these people? What happens to these people that say, I am going to be loyal to Donald J. Trump. I am going to, whatever this man wants, I am going to help him execute his vision. Morals be damned, inner tuition be damned. this man is who I am going to go all chips in on. What happens to these people? Pop this up, Kylie. Pam Bondi's portrait has already been taken off the Justice Department walls and dumped in the trash. This was a photo obtained by MS Now. So here's what happens to these people. They pick you up and drop you in the trash. It's that simple. Pam Bondi and her loyalty means nothing to Donald Trump.

17:37I've already illustrated for you the next people that are going to be thrown in the trash, smoky eye sociopath J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth is going to take the fall for this, and Todd Blanche. You are going to end up probably in the fetal position at some point crying, atoning for your covering up for child rape. You see how well it went over for Pam Bondi. At some point, all you're doing is delaying accountability. At some point, there will be accountability for all of this. It will come. But these people think they're special. The Latinos for Trump thought they were special. The log cabin Republicans think they're special.

18:18Clarence Thomas thinks he's special. Pam Bondi thought she was so fucking special. She's in the trash less than 24 hours later. You are trash to this man. And we know because our friends that are scholars that study autocrats, that study these fascists, they hate their supporters. They have nothing but disdain for their supporters. And Trump has nothing but disdain for the people who work for him. He called them all losers. So Todd Blanche, you will be next. You will be the next person whose image is in the trash can. You think he's going to give you a pardon? Somewhere deep inside that petty old coin Trump, he's still pissed at you for losing, for getting 34 felony counts.

19:06And he will fuck you when the time is right. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment, and we'll be back later with more news.

19:21Chicago. When winter winds or city noise have you craving a real escape, Belize is waiting. Imagine crystal blue waters, world-class snorkeling, ancient Maya sites, and jungles alive with adventure. All just a few hours away. And thanks to nonstop United Airlines flights from Chicago O 'Hare to Belize City, getting there is easy. Flights take just over four hours, making paradise closer than you think.
