Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Marco Rubio got dragged to Congress and of course he starts pathologically lying and Donald Trump is doing a great job hating on J.D. Vance, sabotaging his political future, rat-fucking him out the wazoo. But he's really neglecting little Marco. And that's what we're going to dedicate the top of this episode to doing. Here's Marco Rubio, just bald-faced lying to Congress. Play the clip. I'd like to talk about that because it weakens America. This president we have, this is a guy that literally doesn't sleep. He works day and night, long hours, every single day. I don't know if you haven't seen him in eight days.
0:40I saw him yesterday. I didn't see him today, but yesterday because I was in Congress the day before. I talked to him at all hours of the day and night. He works inhumane hours. Okay. I've been on, I've been on foreign trips with the president that he doesn't sleep in the whole flight and everyone else is sleeping on the plane and he's, you know, wandering in the hallways looking for someone to wake up and talk to that people are, so I don't know what you're referring to. I'll tell you a little Marco. I did a quick little Goog of dementia, sleep habits. Kylie popped this up. The sleep habits of people with dementia are characterized by fragmented, disrupted sleep wake cycles.
1:14They frequently experienced severe daytime sleepiness, frequent nighttime awakenings and short and deep sleep. This pattern often results in day night reversal where they sleep for long periods during the day and are restless at night. You lying dipshit Marco Rubio. It goes on to say, because dementia causes biological and cognitive changes, it fundamentally alters the individual's rest patterns. Josh. My favorite part of that, I think, is when Rubio was talking about how Trump always works. He's walking the halls in the middle of the night looking for someone to talk to. I mean, that's the workaholic that we have.
1:59That's Trump. You can just see Trump just like, Hey, is anybody here? Somebody come talk to me. That's the, you know, just the praising of this man just goes on and on from these guys. Wasn't his nickname Little Marco or something like that in 2016. It just goes on and on to where there's just no self-respect at all. You just brought up 2016 and I think it's important in our efforts to rat fuck little Marco that we remind our listener, our viewer and the American public at large that Marco Rubio is a stage five prostitute. The only prostitute that might be more skilled than little Marco, of course, is J.D.
2:41Vance or obviously the first lady, Melania Trepp. Let's play little Marco from 2016. Play the clip. In this election for years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump, because this is not going to end well one way or the other.
3:06It's not. It's not ending well for anybody. It's not ending well for you. It's not ending well for the American people. It's not ending well for anybody. And you fell in this trap. How did that happened. Exactly. I mean, you know, when you think about the Trump's biggest critics initially were J.D. Vance, were the Republican establishment, Marco Rubio. He was a huge critic. Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz. Donald Trump called Heidi ugly, said that Ted Cruz's dad killed JFK. And Ted Cruz There's marches on the RNC convention stage. They all have maxi pads on their ear because they're all fucking cattle, these Republicans.
3:49And he says, God bless Donald Trump. There's, you know, Trump has this gift that he's good at, that he gets off on. And that's seeing these people that criticize him initially, sort of bending them around to where they're not criticizing. Now they're worshiping. It's like he loves to sort of watch their change, their subtle change over a period of time. It's beyond me. I mean, I remember we watched that 2016 election with vigor. And to now see these guys capitulate and just, you know, for lack of a better word, just dick suck over and over and over. Yeah, and this is the humiliation ritual. And I agree that Trump is really good at the humiliation ritual.
4:34He has mastered it. I would even say what he just did to little Marco there. Ted Lieu was asking him, has Trump fallen asleep? And he says, no, he doesn't do that. Well, then what Ted Lieu did after that is he played a video of the most recent cabinet meeting when Marco's droning on and on about some accomplishment, some bullshit circle jerk accomplishment at the State Department. Trump's sitting there sawing logs. I think it's just humiliating to the people at the cabinet table that he says, I don't like hanging out with winners. I like hanging out with losers. Then they all show up. And because of dementia, he's sitting there napping because he doesn't give a fuck.
5:15And he's really good at humiliating people. Imagine if I fell asleep through this podcast and then you carried us. I mean, imagine that. Yeah, yeah. And this is just a stupid podcast. They're running the fucking free world. The country. Yeah. All of them. All of them are in on it too. I mean, it's, it's a table full of prostitutes, all of them. They've given up any hope of any sort of self-respect or independence or moral integrity. It's gone. It's like, we are in the tank for this man. We are going to sell our souls. We're going to whore ourselves out for Donald Trump. They've told themselves that, and they have wives and kids and families.
5:54And before this, they had jobs. And I presume some self-respect that shit is gone. It's all gone. All right. We want to get your legal opinion on the whole slush fund. So basically the slush fund got slapped down by judges. And now Trump is now they're saying, oh, he's still and all of his friends and everybody who's ever touched him is never going to get audited by their IRS, but we're not doing the slush fund. But then Trump in his humiliation ritual, he always comes back out and says the opposite. So play this clip. Of course. The anti-weaponization fund, have you dropped that? No, a court ruled against it.
6:37But just so you understand, these are people that have been decimated. These are people that lost their lives over nonsense, where the FBI said, go in, go in, police go in, go into the... And they were supposed to serve five years, 10 years in jail. People committed suicide. People were treated. There's never been anything like this. What happened to those people? And these were many great people. And I gave them pardons. I'm very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government. The government... Josh, who ran the FBI during January 6th? I believe it was Christopher Wray, if I'm not mistaken.
7:15was under which president? Under Donald Trump. Correct. Now, give us your legal take on exactly everything that he just said. If somebody goes into federal court, deals with federal prosecutors, you deal with all these big swinging dick Republicans that are rule of law guys, personal accountability guys. Well, I'm overstating the obvious to a certain extent, but everything he said in that is a complete fucking lie. I mean, literally every sentence that he said. So if you're in a court of law, those things don't hold up. And you notice with Trump, all of his rhetoric, all of his bullshit, it all may play in the court of public opinion with a bunch of these MAGA fucking Yahoo crazies.
7:53But when you strip this down and you put it before a judge and the rule of law matters and case law matters and statutes matter and things like that do matter, then all of, if not most, all of his legal theories fall apart. The IRS can't give someone immunity for life from paying taxes. That's fucking unheard of. Nobody gets that. The president doesn't have that authority. DOJ doesn't have that authority. The IRS doesn't have that authority to tell Donald Trump and or his children that you're going to be immune from paying taxes to this country for the rest of your life. It's fucking insane. Anybody knows that you can't do that.
8:31That's not a presidential power. You can't do that with someone. The slush fund, that's another issue. You saw this judge in Florida initially, she allowed them to dismiss it. And then that's when they announced that there's a settlement of the slush fund. And then the judge down there said, you know, I don't have authority now they've dismissed that lawsuit. Well, a few days ago, 35 federal judges re-urged her to look at that and render a different opinion and open that back up. And she did about three days ago, I believe her last name is English, Judge English, Kathleen English in the Southern District of Miami, Florida.
9:11And she basically told them that I'm going to have a look at this, that there's allegations of fraud and coercion and all sort of deception. And so that's one inquiry that's currently under place. Then we talked about this previously, but in the Eastern District of Virginia, I believe an organization, Democracy Freedom or Freedom Democracy filed a lawsuit and a judge there in Virginia ordered all members of the Department of Justice and the IRS and the federal government not to do anything with that fund, not to expend any money, not to make any decisions. They were basically ordered to cease and desist from taking part in any sort of payments toward any claimants.
9:59So you've got But those two pieces of litigation going on, ultimately, I think what we've seen is that Donald Trump, at least on his face, is kind of abandoning the slush fund because his legislative agenda is tanking. And I think there was a reconciliation bill that wouldn't pass because a lot of his Republican senators finally said, we're not going to pass this legislation without some guarantee that you're going to end this stupid goddamn slush fund that you've got. And so I think that's the leverage. And I just want to point out that a lot of these January 6th defendants, a lot of them have already been, they had previous criminal convictions because these are broken people that go in and break federal laws and take a shit in the Capitol and beat up cops.
10:47Since the pardon, a lot of them have been rearrested for ding, ding, ding, sexual assault, child porn, all sorts of shit. I mean, these people are the bottom of the barrel. And now Trump is telling criminals, if you commit crimes for me, you don't have to buy lottery tickets anymore. I'm going to make sure you get paid because that's how transactional this man is. But this man has been laser focused on about four or five things. Obviously, the ballroom is his newest focus, but one of his focuses since 2020 has been trying to prove that Joe Biden didn't kick his ass in the election. and everybody surrounding Trump that went on all these news stations, oh, it was rigged.
11:29Fox News, oh, it was rigged. Fox News had to pay$1 billion for lying about that in the voter machine case. And here's a video of Trump still, he just still goes on and on because Roy Cohn, his gay mentor in New York City told him, if you repeat a lie over and over and over long enough, it becomes true. And so that is one of the weapons that Trump deploys to a non-critically thinking base that he has. Play the clip. Look, we had a rigged election. We can't have a rigged election. You know, we can be nice about it. We can be politically correct. Oh, I don't want to say. I used to say that a year and a half ago, the election was rigged and the cameras would literally turn off.
12:14Yeah. And the anchor would say, sir, you're not allowed to say that. You know, now nobody ever turns off. the camera because it's been proven to be rigged. Look at what happened in Georgia. Look at all the stuff that we found out. It was a rigged election. Biden lost in a landslide. Okay. They haven't found out anything. Every single time they dig into this, every time he took it to court, he fucking lost. Isn't that right, Josh? It's amazing. He lost every single case. His description of the one-sixers too, I mean, everything is so completely untrue with what he says that you'd have to just unpack it.
12:52But he says it with such ease and conviction. And you're right. I mean, it's a technique that if you continue to say it over and over, he thinks that it's going to be persuasive and convince the non-critical thinker that, hey, maybe this is the truth. It's just like rewriting January 6th. I mean, he talks about patriots and some of them killed themselves and for no reason. and just says all these things that just are simply not true. He bombards you with so many lies that you are perplexed as to which one to pick apart first, because there's so many of them. All right, everybody think about the men in your lives and just how awful and terrible their wallets are.
13:34Beat up, oversized, barely fits in the pocket. That's why this Father's Day is the perfect time to gift him something he'll actually use every single day, a Ridge wallet.

Pop this up. Democracy Docket, who does incredible work, has breaking news. The Supreme Court will allow Alabama to use congressional map that a federal court found intentionally discriminates against black voters, effectively blessing racial gerrymandering.
15:25And I've said this once, and I'm going to say it again. The rise of anti-Black racism in this country is the most underreported story ever. This is weaponized racism. When they say make America great again, they're talking about going back to segregation. That's what these people want. That's why they voted for Trump. It wasn't about the price of eggs. It's about this racism that Trump allows, and interestingly, a black man on the Supreme Court votes for? Josh. This is another concurring chapter of the shadow docket. This opinion was issued on the shadow docket. It's interesting because it comes from a three-judge panel in Alabama, two of which were Trump appointees that specifically found that this redistricting had intentional racial discrimination as a part of it.
16:22There was a finding of that. And two Trump-appointed judges found that, and then they send that up to the Supreme Court. And in the middle of the night, the Supreme Court on the shadow docket overturns that with basically no reason or justification. Again, you want to talk about criminals? You want to talk about people that are evil? Look no further than our Supreme Court because they're doing it in a way that matters. The one thing that we have is that we have the people can go vote. We can take it to the people and they can vote and their votes count. And they're striking right at the heart of our democracy by saying that your vote's not going to matter.
17:08If you're African American, we're going to dilute the black vote in this particular state, and it's not going to matter. You're going to have fewer black representatives, African American representatives. So this is the meat of it right here. The material damage to black people in this country is really, really devastating. And it's all done by these big Christians, people in the Bible Belt. Those are the meanest people that this country has. If you look at the Bible Belt states, they are the bottom 10 states in the country. They're poor. They have the most racism. They have the most crime. They have the most teen pregnancies.
17:47They have the most everything. And then you get this twat, Kay Ivey, who posts this. She's a governor of Alabama. She posts this. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has proclaimed June as Strong Families Month. Our Alabama families remain the foundation of healthy communities. Alabama recognizes the importance of encouraging strong families. Libs of TikTok says, amazing. Happy Strong Families Month. What about fucking weak families? What about the weak families? What about that? Aren't Christians supposed to stand up for fucking weak people and weak families? You only want strong families. This is just such bullshit Christian signaling.
18:28They're all triggered because of fucking Pride Month. They melt down. libs of tick tock is going crazy this this broad k ivy's melting down and only honoring strong families this is just such josh and i had a rule when we were raising our kids in the bible belt if somebody said we're a good christian family we would always tell our kids you're not going over to their house yeah we wouldn't allow our children to go to to miss ivy's home like they would not be allowed absolutely not and she she's got to be close to her deathbed god bless her but she looks about 105 in that photograph just so there could be a little bit of a generation generational gap with her she you know we've lived amongst those people our whole lives so we we hear that bullshit you know that where you like to spew these words of of christianity and values and all this stuff, and then you go live a life that's completely different than that.
19:29And it's just, it's disgusting. All of it is disgusting. And the people that need help, that truly need help, you're refusing to give it to because you're a racist, because maybe they're African American or maybe they're gay, maybe they're marginalized, but you don't give a shit because they're not white Christians. And it's disgusting. Absolutely. Disgusting. Alabama, one of the most religious states in the country, also the most hateful. K.I.V. And then the Supreme Court allowing legalized, weaponized racism. This is Trump's America. This is the Bible Belt Christian version of America. These people weaponize their faith against these voters out in rural areas.
20:15Think about how evil this is. All you have in a rural town is your church. You go to bingo night, you go to the cakewalks, you do all this shit. And then they weaponize the one thing you have. And they say, hey, you get to be a racist, but we're never going to raise your wages. Also, Jesus loves you because we're straight and white. All right. That's all we have. Make sure you order my book, Not Today Fascists. I'm dedicating it to all the racist, fascists in Alabama. Josh, put him back up. Have you pre-ordered my book? I ordered four or five of them actually. You did? Doghouse, yes. Oh, good.
20:53Okay. Well, thank you. All right. We'll be back later with more news.
