1:22All right, joining me today in studio is Josh Green, a.k.a. Josh, the progressive and independent content creator with more than 1 million followers. Josh, welcome to New York City. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. This is like the best way to be in New York. I know. We're going to have fun. I want to bring to your attention, you know, MAGA is really going through some things about James Tallarico. So at first, they're like, oh my God, he follows OnlyFans models. This was several months ago. And then Stephen Miller's like, the Democrats have elected a trans person. They're transvestigating him.

1:57And then recently, then they're like, oh, he dated hot girls that were staffers. They can't pick a lane. Is he gay? Is he straight? But nonetheless, Stephen Miller is highly obsessed with James Tallarico. I would even call it like a really creepy psychosexual attraction that he has towards him because he made this AI ad about James Tallarico play it. Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes, girls dust with hormones till they grow mustaches, changing the gender of all your offspring. These are a few of my favorite things. boy okay so josh the person behind this is trans obsessed psychosexual steven miller pop up the next steven miller pack and it's called like citizens for sanity and they make that bat shit crazy ai thing spent six figures on an ai video of james tallarico in a dress what's your take on that is this first time you've seen that that's my first time seeing that what is wrong with these people like why are they doing this all the time these people are just obsessed with trans people.

3:09It's so weird. They clearly have no attack on Tallarico. They're definitely afraid of him because they can tell he actually is popular and could win and nothing is sticking. They tried to call him a vegan. Wow, he's a vegan. Oh my God. Or they're like, James Tallarico is a freak. Right. Yeah, he's a Tala Freako or whatever. Like none of it is working because they know people actually like him. So I don't know what this slop is. And so as we move along in the batshit that is MAGA, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins blames screw worm on Joe Biden. And I know, listener, you're like, screw worm, this sounds boring.

3:46It's actually the kind of stuff that you want government to do, prevent diseases. And screw worm was eradicated from the United States until Elon Musk and Doge and big balls went in. And they're like, oh, my God, we're spending millions of dollars on fly research. And so she posts this video or she said this on video. Play the clip. America. Now, this does trace back to the last administration and the open border policy. And then, of course, by the end of the last administration, the pest had reached Mexico and began moving northward. OK, so basically she blames Joe Biden in this video. And then she gets immediately community noted.

4:30Pop this up. And the community note says the screwworm monitoring program in Central America was cut by the Trump administration's doge in early 2025, not the Biden administration. Yeah, it's going to be like 2040 and some Republican president's going to be in power and they're going to still say, oh, this is all because of Joe Biden. These people are obsessed with Joe Biden. Enough already. Enough with the open border. Every time these Trump supporters are in power, there's some type of disease. We saw the way they handled COVID. They always get us sick. They say it's the animals from the open border.

5:04These people are animals. These people just don't know how to vaccinate themselves. They're not clean people. So I don't feel safe when they're in power. Yeah. And you remember Brooke Rollins was the one when eggs were expensive. She recommended to Americans, just go ahead and get your own chickens. Who is going to do that? I mean, we're in Midtown Manhattan right now. We're going to like get a little chicken hen and just start growing eggs. We'll just do it right here at the iHip studio. We'll just get some little chickens and y 'all can just hear them clucking around in the background. These people are nuts.

5:34Okay. And here's a video of Representative Rob Whitman faking a phone call when asked about Johnson's comments. And that's little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson. He made a comment that Republicans want to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, which is every news cycle they want to do this. But here is a representative faking a phone call. Play the clip. Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's secret plan to cut Social Security? Hey, how you doing? I'm good. I'm good with that. Yeah, I'll be there in just just a few minutes. No response. I'm heading your way right now. Yeah, it's over at 416. Congressman, what is Mike Johnson's secret plan to cut Social Security?

6:15I appreciate that. I've got I've got some more. So you can clearly tell by the screen that he's faking the phone call. And I just think these Republican men are such pussies. They can't even just own it. I mean, just say it. Yeah, we want to cut it all. Just say it. Yeah, I've done the fake phone call thing when I'm trying to leave the family function. You got to at least lock your phone so it looks black. But it's just pathetic. I mean, they seem to always want to cut all these programs, yet they still inflated the budget by billions and billions of dollars. Remember, they said they were going to cut a trillion dollars from the national debt.

6:51All they did was jack that up and they screwed over all these working families in the process. So it's been a complete disaster in every sense of the word. Totally. OK, here's Steve Bannon. And, you know, he really wants Trump to have a third term. Play the clip. President Trump will run and win again in 2028. So I've already endorsed President Trump. A man like this comes along once every century. If we're lucky, we've got him now. He's on fire. And I'm a huge supporter. Want to see him again in 2028. And obviously, anybody who doesn't like what you say, but judges is at a function of a lack of intelligence, doesn't know anything about you.

7:32I don't make that mistake. You're a smart guy. You know, he's term limited. How do you think he gets another term? We're working on it. I believe it. I believe they're working on it. Yeah, they're working on something. But I don't even think Trump's going to make it that far. I mean, he just fell asleep at the Knicks game that, you know, disrupted everybody to make sure that he could attend. And then he's passing out, you know, during one of the most intense NBA finals games ever. Not sure how he's going to get through 2027, let alone the rest of this year. But let's, you know, let them keep dreaming for a little bit so they don't focus on, you know, other candidates.

8:08Let's talk about scenarios that we think they're going to drum up. Here's one that I've thought. So he's still hyper fixated on the election results of 2020. And he's even the big light drones on and on. And he's even said, the evidence is out there. We won. And you saw where he sent Tulsi Gabbard into Georgia and they confiscated ballots. I think something that he might run or try to take to the Supreme Court, which we know from the shadow docket, they will do anything, break any laws, dismantle all legal precedent that our court systems have ever had for this man. I think he's going to say, oops, I really won in 2020.

8:49And they're going to cook the bugs. And they'll say, uh-oh, we're already in violation of the Constitution. This is technically a third term. So we need the Supreme Court to go around this thing and say that, yeah, in this instance, the 2020, even though it's been federal judges have said 2020 was one of the safest elections. I think that's something that they're doing. I agree with you that he I don't know if he's going to make it that long, but I'll tell you what mean people live forever. You know, like I could see this guy. I hate it. I know, listener, you don't want to hear this. I could see this guy going to like 90 something.

9:26Yeah. I mean, clearly the presidency is the one thing that's keeping him alive. I mean, these are the twilight of his years. He's absolutely just running on fumes right now. But you know that these people in power, they know that if they have to leave the White House, they are all screwed. They are all going to be prosecuted. Some of them are going to go to jail, hopefully all of them. And so they know that they have to do everything in their power to cling on to power, because if they have to hand the keys back over to a Democrat and maybe even a progressive fighter who's going to transform this country, then they're done for.

9:58Yeah, I completely agree. But I think it's interesting because he will not stop saying that. And one thing I think progressives make a mistake about is we always treat the Steve Bannon's Fox News, Newsmax, Tucker Carlson as fringe. And now the fringe is in power. And so we need to listen to them and take them a little bit more seriously because nobody ever seriously thought in 2015, 2016 that Trump would be the Republican nominee. Fox didn't even think that. He was the total anti-conservative establishment. Now they've all completely, they're all moral degenerates with him. But now the White House, and I'm sure this is a Stephen Miller, Stephen Chung pep project, they are publishing leftist influencers on the White House website.

10:45Let's pop this up. So this is an actual page on the White House website. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I've not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime. They've already proven this administration in this fascist takeover. Like, OK, we have prostitutes that work for us. Barry Weiss, David Ellison, Larry Ellison, et cetera. We got her to dismantle CBS News. You've seen other media outlets capitulate and not take him to court and fight him. And now they're going after this space, the independent space, because this is the space where people are not paid by corporations, where we're actually holding him accountable.

11:33And we also can't forget about the arrest of our colleague, Don Lemon. So what's your take on all of this? Do you think they're trying to scare everybody in our space? Yeah. Enjoy having me on your show while it lasts because sooner or later, they're going to put me on this list. You're probably on a watch list. Let's be real. I'm going to be going on Don Lemon's show. We know he's under federal indictment right now. So they're coming hard after people that are just telling the truth about this administration. This is a classic fascist playbook. People say, oh, fascism is coming. Fascism is here in this country right now.

12:07It's just a matter of are we going to let them permanently take roots of the future of this country or are we going to be able to eradicate this movement and actually change the country back? Yeah, I think there's no question that they probably have watch lists of a lot of us or have hacked into our stuff. I just don't think these people honor any sort of laws whatsoever. And then the FBI is investigating right wing influencers critical of Trump. So this is a big lesson for like the, you recently saw the MAGA war on Mormons and then Trump folded against the Mormons. You know, Senator Mike Lee was losing his shit.

12:49Well, so when they go after left-wing commentators, they're also going to go after right-wing commentators because basically this whole movement is to protect the ego of this fragile man that wears a full face of makeup every day in a diaper. I mean, that's what all of this is about. So pop up this. The Bulwark is reporting last week, the FBI promised to investigate one of the players in the ongoing MAGA fight over Candace Owens, providing the strongest indication to date that the Bureau will start going after right-wing influencers who are critical of Trump. So this is all basically, it shows you how loyal they are to this movement, which is they're not.

13:31They're not loyal to it at all. I think Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and others that have jumped off the Trump train are just showing us that they believe in financial Darwinism. They don't believe in anything. And so what's your take on all of this First Amendment bullying? Yeah, I think this is an administration that clearly can tell the walls are closing in on them. They know their own base isn't happy. They're going after their own diehard supporters. But also, like you said earlier, this isn't a fringe movement. The mainstream Republican Party is Trump and it is these far right fascists.

14:06And then you have these even more far right extremists who are too far to the right than the administration. They're not allowed, but the real mainstream is the Trump administration. The fringe, maybe these people are too fringe for them. I don't know. But a lot of it has to do with criticism of Israel. A lot of it has to do with the Epstein files cover up. And those are two things that are sinking this administration. What do you make of – we had primaries this week and Graham Plattner won resoundingly, record turnout. The two Democrats in the L.A. mayor race won. Spencer Pratt, complete face plant.

14:41What do you make of the Spencer Pratt's, the Susan Collins? I called Susan Collins fascist recently and people in the Democratic centrist movement were like, we can't call them fascists. What is she if she's not a fascist? I mean, what is Susan Collins, a big guardian of democracy and human rights? I mean, what are we? Don't you think Spencer Pratt, Susan Collins, Lady Graham, Little Moses, Mike Grinder, they're all fascists, don't you think? Yeah. And, you know, as someone from L.A., Spencer Pratt, this is a guy who, you know, doesn't believe in climate change, even though that's something people have dedicated their whole lives to understanding as objective fact.

15:24It's not a question of whether you believe in this or not. And he wants to run for L.A. mayor to protect the city against wildfires. He has no idea, you know, what to do in a city like this. He just, you know, buys into fascist far right conspiracy theories of the Trump administration. He says the election's rigged now, even though on the first night he said he won the election. So it's classic Trump stuff from him. And then Susan Collins, obviously, she's on video, you know, decades ago saying that she's not going to run for another term. Just another fascist collaborator. Our country is so much more conservative than people realize and more conservative than other countries.

15:57And so, yeah, these people are fascists. And the Democratic Party, if they're not willing to call it out, then they're complicit. So let's talk about that. Is the country more conservative or is our form of government set up to where it allows conservatives to get positions that they really shouldn't get based on population? Here's an example. California, tens of millions of people in the population, two senators. Oklahoma, three million people. South Dakota, I think maybe less than a million people. Don't quote me on that. Two senators. And so then you go to the Supreme Court and you have a lot of appointees that were appointed by presidents that didn't even win the majority of votes, George W.

16:44Bush, Donald Trump in his first term. And so I do think the country is more conservative than some other first world countries. But I think a lot of the conservative stuff is faked. I think if we really had an encouraged compulsory voting where people really, really voted, I think the country's a lot more center left. I agree with that. Also, I'll never forget Obama nominating Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court during his final year. And they said, oh, he can't nominate somebody to the Supreme Court because he's going to be leaving the White House. And then Trump got to do like three justices, which was absolutely insane.

17:23The Democratic Party, however, if they were actually able to run on issues that people supported, then the Republican Party should never win another election, period. They do everything in their power to change the voting maps and to gerrymander and redistrict this and change the way you can do mail-in ballots because they know if they don't alter the rules of the game, then they're absolutely screwed. Yeah, I just feel like, I mean, there's definitely a lot of conservatives in America, But I feel like the conservative movement is overrepresented, that they have way more representation than they do population in the electorate.

17:59And then Nancy Mace loses her gubernatorial primary. You know, Trump broke up with her at the altar, despite all of her devotion to him, because she stood up against child pedophilia, which in the Republican Party, the MAGA Christian Republican Party, you have to be pro pedophilia. We're seeing this in Texas with Ken Paxton, who pardoned his friend that raped a young boy for three years straight. And then there is a meme about Nancy Mace and Riley Gaines, both placing fifth. So Nancy Mace meet Riley Gaines, conservative women who placed fifth. And you know, the famous, both of these women are completely transphobic.

18:47Like Riley Gaines placed fifth in her swimming race against a trans person. And so what do you have to say about the Nancy Maces of the world that hooked, hitched their wagon to Donald Trump only to then just be discarded, kind of like Pam Bondi's photograph was in the DOJ trash can? Yeah. Fifth place Mace. I'm really sorry about that. But, you know, that's what's going to happen when you don't have any platform or policy. You know, this woman tweets every single day. I don't know if you've seen this. She tweets, pray for President Trump. She tweets this every day on her Twitter. It's absolutely insane.

19:23It's like, what are we praying for? And sometimes I'm like, is he ill? What's going on? Like, why are we praying for the president again today? You said that yesterday. So she's absolutely obsessed with him, even though he wants nothing to do with her anymore. It's pathetic. Her and Riley Gaines should just go do a podcast or something. But yeah, I thought that was hilarious. Yeah, I think that a lot of these people in the MAGA movement, like are suffering from religious psychosis. And then they just Christian signal. They accuse us of virtue signaling, but they just Christian signal all the time to cover up for all of their moral depravity.
