In short

The episode argues that Donald Trump is “going ballistic” after Gavin Newsom trolls him with aggressive, caps-lock warnings about red-state gerrymandering and California’s plan to counter legally. It claims Trump and Republicans are hypocritically redrawing districts while accusing Democrats, and that Democrats should “fight like hell” rather than be “milk toast.” A key example discussed is James Tallarico, a progressive, very religious Democrat who appeared on Joe Rogan and is praised for fact-checking a Fox News host on gerrymandering (including Massachusetts map facts and the governor’s party). Another example is Newsom’s “second to last warning/next one is the last” tweet style and planned press conference.

0:04Kankles McTaco tits has a huge, huge problem with the Epstein files. And so there has been reporting, because you know the White House leaks like crazy, that they are begging, begging Joe Rogan and all of the other right wing podcasters to quit bringing up the Epstein files. Of course, Charlie Kirk, immediately the biggest beta on the planet. You know, he's all about release the files, release the files. files for years. And then Trump calls him, quit talking about it. And he's like, we're moving on. Nobody cares. So it'll be interesting. I want to keep a watch on Joe Rogan. Is Joe Rogan going to be a beta?

0:41Is the alpha of all of the manosphere podcasting, Joe Rogan, is he going to go full Charlie Kirk beta and continue to allow Trump in this cover up and continue to allow Trump to gaslight because he was a part of cultivating all of this Trump 2.0. So is he a hundred percent in the tank following Trump or does he have autonomy over his mind? Does he have agency? So we'll see, we're going to keep an eye on that. But I will say Joe Rogan did have on a guy that is on my watch list. His name is James Tallarico. He was on Joe Rogan. He did an exceptional job. Now I'm not religious at all. I mean, to the point where I just literally cannot stand religion.

1:26But I do recognize that we live in a very religious country. And I think you have to have, we need to have some choir boys in the Democratic Party that talk truth to these rabid, deranged, morally rotten MAGA Christians that can kind of remind them about the empathy that Jesus Christ spoke about. And one person I think that does it well is Andy Brashear in Kentucky. And I want to remind everybody, he did not throw trans people or the LGBTQ plus people under the bus. He said his faith calls on him, his faith calls on him to not judge them. And James Tallarico is proving time and time again, and he, this guy is like, I mean, really religious, but he's really, really progressive.

2:13Here he is on Fox News, eviscerating. I didn't know that this guy had this game. It's so good, you guys, eviscerating this Fox News host. Representative, you gave the ballgame analogy. In my view, what has happened here is you've done something in certain states, and you don't like it when it's done in Republican states. And now you're saying you've done the same thing as us. You've done the same thing as us, and we are going to, by the way, if you do it, we're going to ratchet it up even more, in the words of Gavin Newsom. My party has never gerrymandered in the middle of a decade at the request of the president of the United States, nor would we.

2:46The only way this is going to happen in blue states is if Texas executes this power grab. You mentioned Massachusetts. Do you know the party of the governor that signed that map into law? He was a Republican. It was a Republican governor that signed that map into law. So I just want to be clear with our facts, and I don't want to muddy the waters. All of us, whether we're Democrats, independents, or Republicans, we should stand up to politicians who don't want to face accountability at the ballot box. That's exactly what's happening here. And I asked you, if Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps?

3:17Why can't they just run on their policies? I'm getting wrapped.

3:25If MAGA policies are so good, why don't you run on them? Did you see the Fox News host? I mean, James Tallarico, you guys, that's just him going into the belly of the beast, spitting facts. But he also, he spoke on Rogan about his faith and how it calls on him to be more compassionate, to pay people a livable wage. And so this guy, I think, is a rising star. I think he can speak to more Americans than a lot of other Democrats can. I just, he's not contaminated yet with all the corporate shit. I really like this guy. I like him too. And I just love, we've got to wrap, we've got to wrap. because God forbid there be a fact, an actual fact tethered to reality spoken on Fox news.

4:12And I too thought Will Kane's face was absolutely priceless. He's just like, what the fuck? Oh, I mean, it's just, you can tell he's like, oh shit, we're getting outside of our bubble here. Like this is, this is supposed to be contained. And I think it's really smart that Democrats go on Fox because there's a chance that somebody sitting there watching is like, what is that true and then they'll Google about the Massachusetts governor and about the map. But okay, here's the situation that we have, people on the left, anti-Trumpers. I know that sometimes we are profoundly disappointed in Democrats.

4:47And I was disappointed in Gavin Newsom when he had Charlie Kirk on his podcast. We did a whole episode about it. It really upset me. But we have the leaders that we have and we have the opposition that we have. And Gavin Newsom, to absolutely say, if you're going to take five seats, I will gerrymander California and I'll produce 20 is exactly the energy that the Democrats have to have. Because we all saw January 6. And when I watched that, I thought, this guy's life is over. Taco tits. I never on that day when I watched that. I never in a million years thought that he would be president again, because it was clear when help didn't arrive who ordered the hit.

7:06They play different rules. If a Democrat would have sponsored an insurrection and cited an insurrection like that, they would be in jail. So then you get Merrick Garland, Milk Toast, that goes in there and does nothing. And if we've learned anything, we have learned that you have to grow fangs and fight like hell. So Gavin Newsom has been sending out tweets like this, and it is so brilliant. Caps lock. Donald Trump, the lowest polling president in recent history. This is your second to last warning. The next one is the last one. Stand down now or California will counter strike legally to destroy your illegal crooked maps in red states.

7:47Press conference coming. Hosted by America's favorite governor, Gavin Newsom. Final warning. Next. You won't like it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The trolling is so good. It makes you forget how serious the circumstances are. But I mean, the trailing, the cap lock, your favorite governor. When somebody else, we're so like, he's been doing this shit for so long. We just do it in eye roll. I think every Democrat across the board should send every tweet like this. Every single one of them. I think every tweet should be sent exactly like this. so that when Trump does it, it has no meaning to the base anymore.

8:37Everybody should just start communicating like this because we're dealing with a captivated cult. Okay, here's the next one, you guys. Donald Taco Trump, as many call him, and then in parentheses, missed.

8:52I mean, in quotes, missed the deadline. California will now draw new, more beautiful maps. They will be historic as they will end the Trump presidency. Dems take back the house.

9:11Big press conference this week with powerful Dems and Gavin Newsom, your favorite governor. That will be devastating for, quotes, MAGA. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And then he signed it. G.N. Gavin Newsom. Gavin, I have to say. Governor Newsom, keep doing it. This is the energy that we need. People want desperately for people to fight these betas that are trying to masquerade as alphas. And it is just bullshit. The fact that Abbott abdicates everything, that Trump says, hey, I need five new votes. And he and Pax are like, okay, big guy, we'll do it. Do you want a blow job on the side?

9:58You know, I mean, it's just pathetic. They are absolutely pathetic. And I think it's time for Democrats, just like Tallarico did, just like Gavin Newsom is doing to say, you want to, the only way you can win is to cheat. And so if you're going to cheat, we're going to, we're going to match your cheating. That's what we're doing because we are not going to allow you freak show, McCankles, taco tits, smoky eye sociopath, and pedophile cover-upper, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who goes to the pedophile church and retweets the pedophile church. We are not going to allow you to govern this country.

10:40You're governing right now, but we are going to be a rock solid resistance from top to bottom. Here's the thing. I wonder if MAGA and Fox News looks at those tweets and like, Kevin Newsom is crazy. You know what I'm saying? Because it's un-fucking-hinged the way Donald Trump does, but we're all used to it. My favorite part of the whole thing, thank you for your attention to this matter, GN. Mic drop. No notes. It's so good. And And I love how he says, this is your second to last warning. And then parentheses, the next one is the last one. And there's a big press conference, a big press conference coming up, big announcement.

11:28I just, I think this is smart. I think it is. I mean, here's the thing. I wish that we had like the really intelligent people governing right now to where Gavin Newsom was able to have conversations. How do we move forward? How can we're not from the same party, but how can we work together? Our state, the biggest economy in the country. But you can't. Trump's not interested in that. He's interested in saying, oh, that's a blue state. The majority of the people in that state didn't vote for me. So fuck them. Right. That's his domestic policy. That's it. That is. Yeah. That's, that's the extent of his domestic policy, which leaves Gavin Newsom to go nuclear like this.

12:11And I'm sat and I am here for it. Oh, I'm totally here for it. Get the popcorn out. All right. Please subscribe to our podcast, like this episode and buy our book. Life is a lazy Susan of shit sandwiches. We'll see you all later.
