Trump Admits He's Going to Lose The Midterms As It all Comes Crashing Down

0:04Okay. I want to talk perhaps I think we need to discuss like there are components of the opposition that are really good. And then it's like they're not good on every single box. One of these is Gavin Newsom, A plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, to quote Kanks in his disillusioned thoughts about his economy. On fighting Trump, really, really, really good about fighting Trump. At times, not focused on affordability and getting rid of corporate donations. And recently he just kind of cleaned up some AIPAC stuff, but then he also face planted on taxing billionaires, which I think is like over 80%, like total bipartisan.

0:54It's something like you can get 80 % of Americans to agree on something. And he said he was, quote, adamantly against it. But he polls the best right now. And listen up, listener. We have to do everything we can to beat these fascists. Everything. So I want to show you how good he is at fighting. So the White House pumps puts out one of their, you know, ASMR, cruel porn hits of what they call cuffing season. And it's them cuffing immigrants. And they, you know, these people are so sick that they like watching it. So Gavin Newsom, you guys, he's so good at fighting and his team, digital team is so good.

1:33he makes an AI video of what he calls cuffing season and retweets the cruel White House version and puts out this banger. Pop this up.

1:54So for those of you that are listening, it shows like Hegseth, Miller, and Pudding Boy in handcuffs, crying, everybody's staring at them. I just think that is excellent. I think that is so excellent. I also think while we're fighting MAGA, we also need to talk to the voter. Like, think Zoran, Mom, Donnie, laser focus on affordability, laser focus on what the majority of working class Americans need and what both parties have failed to deliver. So I start this because I want all of our candidates to be better. And I want them to evolve the way the base has evolved because Pumps and I have evolved on these issues.

2:37And I want the leaders that we have to evolve so that we can have a really rigorous, honest primary. Pumps, what's your take on all of that? First of all, everybody who is paying a little bit of attention knows that every single one of those people has been committing crimes on a daily, if not hourly basis. So good for Gavin Newsom. What I would say on the not taxing the rich, I think these politicians are so worried about filling up their financial coffers because I think it took like a billion dollars to run for president in 2024. So it's like they're scared that if they go against billionaires who are just a tiny fraction.

3:22Now, granted, they give money, but let's look at Zoran Mamdani, economic hub of the United States, New York City. He said, I'm sorry, you're going to have to give a little bit more. And they were threatening to leave and they were doing all this shit. You know what happened, Jennifer, after Zoran won? Fucking nothing. None of these billionaires left. They didn't change their business addresses and all that. So I think it's important that Gavin Newsom look at that model and say, I'm not trying to fuck anybody. What I want is equality for everybody. And if that means a little bit more from the super rich, then that's just how it's going to be.

4:02And I don't know if it's personal worry about campaign, if it's just loyalty. I don't know why that hasn't been the case because to me, it seems like the biggest layup of all time. And I just want to add to what you said, what happened after Zoran won. Now, there's been a reporting in the days after and weeks after and the month after that he won, luxury real estate sales on the island of Manhattan have increased. There's been an increase of sales. I think to answer your question, why doesn't he do this. I think that a lot of stuff just gets cooked in. And right now we have a problem where

4:51corporate influence is really cooked in to the Democratic Party. After Citizens United, it was widely accepted. Well, if they're going to take money, we have to take the same money too, because we have to fight fire with fire. Fair. I think that part of that broke the Democrats and it broke it to the point to where they were supposed to be the party of working class. And when you're taking money from corporations that are denying people healthcare, denying people an increase in wage, and you're helping the Walmarts and the Amazon subsidize the needs that their employees and their workers need by providing them SNAP, you lose the narrative.

5:32And so I'm sure that there is this fear, but back to your point about Zoran, he didn't just not take corporate money. The billionaires banded together and spent tens of millions of dollars against him. And I just am wondering if, as we head into the midterms, can the strategy not be where we make it so toxic? Like, let's say that Gavin Newsom is, fast forward to 2028, it's so toxic that the Republican nominee, say it's J.D. Vance, it's so toxic that he took so much corporate money that the more they take in, that's the more you talk about. And that it becomes brand damaging for these corporations to have given to one side only.

6:24And so I think it's going to take something really radical from the Democrats, like saying, we're not taking any of it. None. We're taking zero. And you look at, and then you say, remember how Trump's most successful campaign ad was that horrible transphobic ad. Kamala is for they, them. Trump is for you. Can the Democrats not use a platform kind of like that. JD Vance is for all of these billionaires and Gavin Newsom is for you. Zero PAC money. It's really powerful. Like fucking pisses me off. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump calls her a traitor. Trump calls her a traitor and she posts on Twitter.

7:13I'm not a trader, I'm America first, zero APEC dollars, and then shows Trump gets like 250 million APEC, you know, Israel, hard line Israel lobby money. So I don't know. I just think it's something we should talk about. We've developed, we kind of have a larger audience now. We can get some of these guests on. Like what is the strategy to not just win the midterms, but to build a long term coalition, a long term FDR style tenure where we can get back power and really make consequential changes to this country. Now, this is a really big tell. You know how I told you, Pumps, that as he gets older, Kanks, Pudding Boy, he's going to start loose lipping, right?

7:58So he's already loose lipping and he's already pre-spinning that he's going to lose the midterms. And this gives me a lot of hope because I have to remind myself, as much as I think they're going to cheat, our elections are very localized and they might be able to cheat in a certain like super red county or something. But nationwide, it's going to be very, very, very difficult. And he knows that, too. So play this clip. I don't worry about it. You know, it's like statistically, it's amazing when you win the presidency, even if you win by a landslide like we did. And even if you do a good job, and some people say we've done the best opening 10 months in history, you know, in the history of the president.

8:39I think we have. Who's done better? We ended eight wars. We have the strongest economy. We have$18 trillion coming in, which is more than any country had times. I think five or six. $18 trillion is a lot even in your standards, right? Yes, sir. Even for that guy,$18 trillion is big numbers. But we have$18 trillion coming in. Pretty amazing, right? I think Qualcomm would be very impressed if they had even a little piece of that. So we've done a great job. But for whatever reason, and nobody's been able to give me an answer, when you win the presidency, you seem to lose the midterms. Even if you win the presidency a lot and you do a great job as president.

9:22Some presidents have done good and they've lost, I think it's like two times. Okay. All right. Enough. It's just ridiculous. This is good news, perhaps, because I think they're prepping for the blue tsunami. I mean, this is where, like, a moment of him, like, oh, my God. Like, they know they can't, the localized nature of the elections, they're not going to be able to rig the midterms. Well, because you know they've been plotting it and thinking about it for at least since 2020, probably before. But I listen to that. And it just kind of goes back to the whole democratic establishment argument.

10:01Like you should be fucking embarrassed that this is the guy that won and you need to break everything down to the studs. But Trump, do you think the people around him are telling him it's not your fault? First of all, he didn't run by a landslide. Nobody says it's the best economy in the world because he won't even release his own numbers. But here's the thing about it. Is he going to make it to the midterms? He looks horrible. He's kind of slobbery mouth slurry. Like, I cannot believe we lost to him. I cannot believe it. I can't believe it's an indictment on the Democrats. It is an indictment on the Democrats.

10:37Joe Biden had one job after you saw an insurrection, a nationally televised insurrection, when these depraved, mentally unstable people went to the halls of Congress and wanted to hang Mike Pence. They beat up cops. They took a shit in the Capitol. They had Nazi flags, Camp Auschwitz t-shirts, civil war, you know, fucking flags, complete nightmare shit show, all directed by one person and the wife of a Supreme court justice. What did they fucking do about that? Jenny Thomas, her husband still sits on the Supreme court. They did fucking nothing about that. Clarence Thomas is allowed to weigh in on these cases where he is clearly, clearly conflicted.

11:36They did nothing about this man, nothing about this man. They could have released the Epstein files. They could have charged him with crimes. They should have moved faster. And it is such a failure. Oh yeah, we had the chip sack and oh yeah, we had the infrastructure track. None of that fucking matters right now. None of it fucking matters because every single aspect of the United States government is for sale. And you know who's profiting from it? Dumb and dumber and tweedle dipshit at the top, pudding boy. Those are the people that are profiting off of all of this innovation. It's unbelievable to me, and it is an absolute indictment on just the horrific leadership in the Democratic Party.

12:20They should have done fucking everything they could do to cling on to power. And shame on the people surrounding Joe Biden that didn't tell him two years in, great job. You won. You got to be president. You're too old. We have to put everything we can do to... And Merrick Garland, that appointment was the biggest failure of any president in my lifetime. Appointing Merrick Garland because it made you feel good because Mitch McConnell dicked him over. There's a time for feel good politics. Right now is a time for fuck you politics. And especially right after January 6th, because the longer it went on, the more of a permission structure it gave Fox News and people who were double Trumpers and then turned off by January 6th to then get back on board again.

13:14Because when you see an injustice, not rectified, then you start believing that it wasn't that big of a deal. It was a setup. People think the FBI did it and all this crazy ass shit. All right, listener, here's the thing. The kitchen is not my room of expertise. However, during the holidays, I do like to cook a meal for my family. My sons and I love to make gingerbread cookies.

Well, when they started coming out saying it was Antifa immediately, it should have been shut down immediately.

14:44But the Democrats never shut anything down. They just assume that nobody is stupid enough to believe Trump. And to be fair, I thought there's nobody that's stupid enough to vote for Trump again. But there is. So I was part of the problem. But the thing is, they should know better. I'm sitting in Oklahoma City. The people that are running the Democratic Party should have known better. They should have known about pups. You know what? I'm sorry to cut it. Here's what amazes me is the more and more you and I have gotten into this podcast and the more and more we've met with people, the more terrified I am.

15:22I'm like, oh, they really don't know what to do here. Like, they're still playing this old playbook here. And so, sorry, I cut you off. Finish your thought. No, I was just gonna say, we need to, you know, remember when David Hogg was appointed by the Democratic National Committee and they fucking ran him out of town on a stick immediately after, because he was talking about truths that need to be told. And I don't know what it's going to take. I mean, losing the Trump to Trump, the grossest, the worst, if it's going to take kids dying, because we have somebody that's a conspiracy theorist telling people, oh, you don't need to take vaccines.

16:07Like what's it going to take for them to get it? And what, if they haven't gotten it already, I summarily fire people. Let's get all new blood in there. I think anybody that worked on on any of these campaigns. You need to, we have some people, I think the people who've worked on Zoran Mamdani's campaign, on the Virginia and the New Jersey governor's campaign. These are the people that have proven that they can win. And I don't know if there's some crossover, but the old like Clinton, Obama, Kamala Harris guard, where it always seems to be a placating to corporations. and instead of getting your base out, going after some elusive Republican voter that you want to curry favor with.

16:56And it's just like, they're always going to see you as, in the case of Kamala Harris, as a black woman. They're never going to see you as an accomplished, more qualified person. Trotting around with Liz Cheney or taking money from corporations is not going to un-black or un-woman you in the eyes of these people, sadly. But when it comes to the base, those are the people you can fire up to get out. And so that's my, I started this episode, Pumps, talking about Gavin Newsom because he polls the best right now. And we haven't had a primary and all of that, but I want to make these candidates better because you have to be somewhat insane to want to run for president.

17:40In the case of Gavin Newsom, he's been in politics all of his adult life. He was the mayor of San Francisco when he first came on my radar because he was very pro LGBTQ plus at a time when the Bush administration was weaponizing gay marriage and really using homophobia and diminishing gay families and gay people. And here was this good looking heterosexual white dude that was with drag queens at the pride parade. And I remember, you know, just this, you know, broken hearted Democrat in Oklahoma surrounded by all these homophobes. And I remember seeing him on TV and I thought, oh, wow, that's amazing.

18:24That's amazing that on the coast, people like this exist. And I just want to implore Gavin Newsom to get back to that, because there are more blue dots and red states than people realize. But you've got to motivate them to get out and vote. You've got to motivate them to believe in you. And they're never going to believe in you if you say I'm adamantly against taxing billionaires. billionaires. Look, even the billionaires have a whole like group where they say we're giving away 99 % of our wealth. There's a whole thing where they're doing that where even they are saying we have too much money, not the ones surrounding Kanks, but like Bill Gates and what's that guy's name from Nebraska?

19:07Warren Buffett. Yeah, there's a whole group of them where they're like, we have pledged to give away all of our wealth. So when even you have billionaires that don't agree with you, Gavin, evolve on this, evolve. And I think the base, my messaging to the base is we can't be so, well, you said this in the past, we've got to, we've got to help build our candidates and help them evolve. And the electorate is evolving. And so our candidates need to evolve as well. That's my thinking on it. What's yours, Pumps? I agree with that because I think, and we have to have reasonable discussions and discourse.

19:46We have to look at everybody's perspective and then build on that. And if you're an old guard Democrat and you've been in the party forever and somebody says, you know, I think your time's up, you have to accept that. We have to accept that things are changing and moving on. And I agree with you. We cannot, as much as I would love to skewer Gavin Newsom on some things, I absolutely want to support the Democratic nominee because I know the Democratic nominee wants to protect people and make people's lives better. And if I have a few desktops or disagreements, I'm completely fine with that. But we have to allow these politicians to evolve.

20:24And we also have to push them to evolve. I'm just going to say this too, if it comes to the primary, if this stuff is not cleaned up by Gavin Newsom, the ambiguity on LGBTQ plus rights and the oxygen he gave murdered homophobe Charlie Kirk in that platform, if that stuff isn't cleaned up and if this affordability stuff and corporate beholdenship isn't cleaned up, most importantly, if he doesn't walk back and say, I need to listen to the people when we have 80 % of the people that think billionaires need to be taxed more, I need to listen to that. I won't vote for him in a primary, period, because that is the formula that keeps Democrats conservative.

21:11And that's the formula that keeps Democrats from moving forward. And so I'm looking forward to seeing while I'm scared, terrified of what all the Trump people are doing right now. We have to do two things at one time, cover all the corruption, cover all the fuckery, but also really, really work on our party and our base and building a big tent and cutting through the crap. Just cutting through, cut through the bullshit. Like Gavin, you know, you're going to have to tax billionaires more, period. Quit fucking around. I mean, come on. And we know he was a big advocate for the LGBTQIA plus community.

21:51So it's in there. advocate advocate you say that wrong you guys pumps has this like tick where where she wants to say advocate she says abdicate advocate i know advocate advocate i can't identify a lion or a tiger i got it losing it kylie and i are always like advocate um it's all right it's all right it's all right all right um fire book um we'll be back later hopefully with um more depressing news
