In short

The episode argues that Donald Trump is failing on inflation and is unpopular, predicting GOP midterm losses. The host claims Trump’s approval has dropped dramatically (citing a “76-point switcheroo” and being “64 points underwater”), and blames voters’ focus on grocery and gas costs. Key examples include Trump’s “table of groceries” presentation and a claim that Republicans use scare tactics (immigration, “socialism”/McCarthy-style “the commies are coming”). It also criticizes pro-data-center policies, alleging tech oligarchs profit off taxpayers. Guests mentioned: J.D. Vance (billionaire-backed, blamed for misinformation on military underinvestment/munitions shortages), Mark Wayne Mullen (mocked), and Abdul El-Sayed (Democratic Michigan Senate nominee; criticized for being Muslim and for 9/11-related scrutiny).

0:04All right, the rest of the country is finally starting to catch on what you, this beautiful community and audience we have that we've been on for over 10 years. Donald Trump is a train wreck. He's incompetent. He has dementia. He's dumber than a box of hot rocks. Play the clip. Look at this net approval rating now, though. Whoa, way down there. We're talking about what is that? We're talking about a 76-point switcheroo on the president of the United States, an issue in which he beat Kamala Harris by 12 points. He is now 64 points underwater. You don't see changes like this. But the key issue that got him elected, now he's way down there.

0:45And here's why. You can't spend that. You cannot spend groceries. You cannot spend that cost. Donald Trump and all of his friends, of course, they don't go to the grocery store. But if they did, they're not looking at how much bread costs, how much eggs costs. They throw it in the basket. They'd go put it on a credit card. Wouldn't think anything about it. But for the overwhelming majority of Americans, you can't spend those weekly expenditures. You cannot spend how much it caused to fill up your car. Remember, he did this huge presentation. It was him and a table of groceries. And he said, you know, they kind of brought back this antique word, groceries.

1:21He was kind of marveled at the word because it was so foreign to him. This is really real to a lot of Americans. Now, here's where I have PTSD with the United States of America and its electorate. Do we trust these people to go out and vote? the people said, I'm voting exclusively for inflation. Or if that is their one singular issue that they're voting for, did they go vote for a Democrat? I don't know. I don't know what the answer to that is. So when we see all of these polls, he's 76 points underwater on this, and he's unpopular in 48 states. It feels good. It feels great. But I don't trust it until we have these midterms.

2:02And we must roll out so massively that it is too big to rig. Because this is what Trump had to say about inflation just last night. Play the clip. And frankly, you know, with the inflation, I've largely taken care of inflation. By the way, the gas. He's he's largely taken care of it. I mean, this is a regime that his secretary of agriculture, remember, she said eggs are too expensive. You just go get you some chickens and raise your own chickens and then get your eggs. I mean, these people are so divorced from reality. Donald Trump is offering a shakedown crime syndicate, mafia style government to people.

2:45You show up, you pay, and then he lets you play, whether that's you need a pardon, you want citizenship, you want a government contract, you want regulations. If you're Taylor Foods, you don't want people to inspect your lettuce. Fine. Give me two, three, four million dollars. No big deal. we'll release all those regulations. And then the Republicans are getting warned about a midterm disaster. Pop this up. Daily Beast is reporting Republicans are being warned of historic losses in the midterms with new polling aggregates showing the party trailing in eight major battleground Senate races. And again, I just, I want to believe this.

3:31I truly do. But I get so jaded because I think it's so obvious that this man or anybody who's worked for him or anybody that adopts these policies needs to be sent packing. They need to be sent home. But I do not trust this electorate. So all of these things feel good. But I say exercise caution in feeling too good about this because we need to be as motivated as ever because we are the only guardrail, the only guardrail. It's devastating to think about what would happen if the Republicans retained the House and the Senate. It just, it absolutely cannot happen. And then after a six-week recess, Congress returned today with little Moses Mike Grindor Johnson in charge, busy at work on their top priority, pop this up.

4:23Newsmax is reporting socialism showdown. House Republicans plan to force a vote condemning socialism next week, putting Democrats on the record as the GOP makes the issue a midterm campaign focus. House to vote on resolution denouncing socialism. This is all they have, you guys, scare tactics. So they wanted to scare you with immigrants and it worked. He got reelected. mass deportations now. And then all of these triple Trumpers start getting deported if they're Latinos for Trump or some white dude has a fiance from Venezuela. She gets deported and he's like, whoa, I've been a Republican my whole life.

5:04How's this happening to me? And then they're like, oh, these people mean they're literally going to deport everybody. And it turns out, thankfully, the majority of us don't like seeing little kids separated from their parents. And it turns out the majority of us don't like seeing people, regardless of their citizenship, thrown in concentration camps and denied basic food and health care. And it's disgusting. And so the next thing they moved on to is old McCarthy style. The commies are coming, the red scared. And here's all I have to say. Every government has forms of socialism. And I want the government testing the water, not some for-profit testing center that is going to be paid to cut corners.

5:56Look at all of the food problems we have right now. Killer blueberries, contaminated beef, explosive diarrhea. I mean, we've had too many days in the news cycle lately with Americans with explosive diarrhea. I mean, surely, surely people can understand. This is one lie that Republicans have done. They say government needs to be run like a business. And it doesn't because businesses want to be vicious and maximize profits. They're vicious in it. Absolutely vicious. They're cold-hearted killers when it comes to profit. And that's why you can't have the government work that way, because they need to go out of their way to ensure public safety.

6:41And so they can do all of this all they want to. America is never going to be a socialist country. The best countries in the world have a mixture of capitalism and socialism. And these, of course, are nuanced things that a lot of triple Trumpers don't understand. But this is their big thing. This is how they're going to prove to all of the triple Trumpers. Hey, vote for us. We're not commies. Ridiculous. All right. Moving along. Trump's new midterm strategy is embracing the very unpopular data centers. Pop this up. Trump says the only reason to oppose data centers is if communities want to be backwards and poor.

7:22I mean, it's really remarkable how much he hates his voters. I mean, it's really, really remarkable because one could argue, I'm not saying this, but the argument could be made that a lot of people that are backwards and poor turned out numbers to vote for you. So I don't know that this is going to stick the landing like you want to. But the problem with these data centers, number one, people don't trust the tech oligarchy. Why? Because they immediately went and kissed the ring of Trump and they've all gotten hundreds of billions of dollars richer in a matter of two years. These people want to fleece the American public, the American taxpayer, so that they can get richer.

8:06Nobody, hardly anybody, except for some triple Trumpers and some really rich people, believe that these oligarchs have what's in the best interest for the country. I mean, that's just, that is dog shit. And then we have J.D. Vance. You know, J.D. Vance just has to come out and remind us that the only reason he is where he is is because a billionaire bought, paid for him and installed him. And J.D. Vance is now blaming munition shortages on, you guessed it, Joseph Robinette Biden. Play the clip. Have you learned about global vulnerabilities because of continued operations in Iran, even because of munitions, drawdowns or other resources devoted to the region?

8:50Well, look, I think that we're in a position in the United States where as strong as we have ever been, we're only going to get stronger under the president's leadership. We certainly saw under the Biden administration that the military was underinvested in and underresourced. Military underinvested in. Are these people serious? Have you seen the pie graphs that show what the United States of America spends their money on, the military overwhelmingly gets the largest piece of that pie. Not only is that a complete lie, also these men that preach personal accountability, we are the party of personal accountability, to sit around and blame Joe Biden two years into their shit show of destroying this country is incredibly rich.

9:38And I just hope that doesn't land with that many in America. But again, 77 million people voted for Trump. So call me crazy for being so skeptical. Let's move along to another idiot that works for Trump, a man from my home state, Mark Wayne Mullen, whom I refer to as Senator Booster Box because he's not very tall. So he has to step up on a booster box to see over the podium when he speaks. And apparently he still thinks Joe Biden is president. Let's play the clip. When they see their industry ruined because you have a Biden administration that is failing the American people because they're allowing millions of people to come to this country illegally.

10:18All these guys have, all they have is this really disproportionate hatred for Joe Biden. I mean, it's really phenomenal when you think about all of their narratives surrounding Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe. have you ever seen anyone sleep as much as Donald Trump on live television? I don't, I cannot name one person in my entire 52 years on this earth that I have seen sleep on the job like I have Donald Trump. So that's bullshit. The Biden crime family and Hunter's this big ringleader. Are you kidding me? Are we for real right now? You voted for a guy who was convicted of 34 felonies and you have the audacity to say that other people are these big crime committers.

11:05When you, I mean, everything in the White House right now, everything is a total shakedown. It's mafia shit in there. It's utterly insane. And then finally, we know why these Trump supporters, these MAGA sycophants, these MAGA billionaire sycophants sucked up to Donald Trump because they have to control the narrative at all times. And CBS News puts out a headline like this under the tutelage and oversight of Barry Weiss. Pop this up. CBS News. As the nation prepares to mark 25 years of September 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack.

11:57Why is Abdul facing scrutiny? He's condemned 9-11. What, is it just because he's Muslim? Is that what you're doing here? Because I would think if there's renewed scrutiny, the person I'd be looking at would be one Jared Kushner. One Jared Kushner who is just like this. I mean, six billion reasons to understand why Jared Kushner is compromised regarding 9-11. He and the Saudis are as tight as ticks. Donald Trump just thinks, that one guy from Saudi, God, he's a good looking guy. He's so hot. They funded 9-11. Are you serious right now? So Democrats, let's sharpen our attacks. If these people are so concerned about 9-11, let's talk about the fact that Mike Rogers likes to play patty cake with the Saudis as well.

12:43So this is just completely insane. The people who are terrorist sympathizers are MAGA. I mean, has Donald Trump ever, ever called out the Saudis for anything? The murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the funding of 9-11? I don't know, because they're rich as shit. And that's all that matters. That's all that matters to them. And here's the fundamental difference between Abdul and all of these MAGA people. Abdul El-Sayed believes in universal human rights. And he, the Muslim man, is standing up for very, very marginalized people, while MAGA is standing up for the uber, uber billionaires, funder of mass terrorism, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

13:32I mean, get real. Barry Weiss, David and Larry Ellison, what an absolute disgrace. That is not journalism. That is propaganda. And I hope that nobody falls for that. And let's go support Abdul El-Sayed. We've got to get him that win in Michigan. All on notifications leave us a comment and we'll be back later with more news

Trump is absolutely plummeting in the polls.
