In short
The hosts argue Democrats are losing because the DNC won’t release its 2024 election “autopsy,” while they claim Trump is deteriorating physically and politically and is branding himself everywhere (passports, coins, statues). They also criticize Trump’s foreign-policy posture and mock JD Vance’s role, plus attack Kristi Noem for alleged squatting in a government home.
Guest backgrounds
No guests are named; the episode references DNC Chair Ken Martin (clip from Pod Save America) and discusses public figures (Trump, King Charles, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski).
Key claims
DNC Chair Ken Martin says there’s “no smoking gun” and the report shouldn’t be weaponized; hosts call this condescending and suggest Gaza/Israel policy and corporate money are what the DNC is hiding. They claim Trump’s health is visibly collapsing (cankles, makeup) and that he’s lying about military matters at a state dinner.
Notable examples
Trump-branded passports; a $1 commemorative coin; a Trump gold statue at Doral; Trump’s “fight, fight, fight” assassination-nation framing; claims about Pentagon leaks and Strait of Hormuz; Kristi Noem allegedly moving into a waterfront Coast Guard commander residence after being fired.

Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Support for Trump among Republicans is really high. Support for Democrats is record low. Despite Despite this disparity, Democrats are winning across the country since Trump's inauguration. And so why is this? Well, it's because Trump is that bad. He's that much of an abject failure. But the Democrats have serious problems for long-term governance. And the DNC continues to let down its base of Democratic voters by refusing to release its autopsy on the 2024 election. Here's DNC Chair Ken Martin on Pod Save America when he was asked about it yesterday. Play the clip. What's in the report that you wouldn't want to publicize?
0:50Yeah, there's no smoking gun in the report. And I know that's what everyone's so eager to learn. The smoking gun. Guess what, John? But if there's no smoking gun, why wouldn't you just release it then? Because we want to keep the focus on the lessons. Because what ends up happening here is that people, of course, want to weaponize the report in a way to look backwards, to point fingers, place blame in a way that actually doesn't keep us focused on the upcoming election. But instead, the navel gazing of focusing backwards actually takes us backwards. We're 189 days from this election, John. What we don't need to be focused on is actually re-litigating 2024.
1:26What we need to do is learn the lessons of 24 and the years preceding that can help us. Pause. Learn the lessons. Release the report. This is why Democrats lose. That is a word salad bullshit. Typical Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, corporate Dem, focus group answer. It's bullshit. It's total bullshit. You want to know why Trump beat us twice? Look no further to that answer right there. It is complete and total bullshit. This is why the Democrats lose. That is the worst answer I have ever heard in my entire life. And the bar on that is so fucking low. You would think after Kamala got beat that the DNC would, and he said originally, we're going to release the report.
2:17That was an error in 2016. They get the report. Oh, we're going to just release the lessons. What are we in fucking grade school? It's treating your base in such a patronizing way that you think they can't handle the truth. That's the way MAGA treats the cult. It just infuriates me. Well, because it's infuriating. And I have read a lot about what is in the report they don't want released. And I'm seeing over and over, it hypothesized that the democratic support of Netanyahu and not speaking out against the atrocities in Gaza could be what they're trying to cover up because they're so ingrained with that position.
3:04And it makes a lot of sense to me that that would be it. But there's also other lessons. You cannot go forward and say, we lost to Trump twice, but we're going to focus on the future. How the fuck did we screw up so bad? Tell us that we don't do it again. Well, and I think the Democratic base, 80%, do not support a blank check to Israel. And the huge funding mechanism of the DNC is through these types of donations. And you have the people that are operating the DNC that do not want to give up on being corporate Democrats. They do not want to give it up. And I'm sure that it's not only that issue.
3:45I'm sure it's that, you know, corporate money, corporate interest. I'm sure it's a lot of that stuff. And they want to continue doing the same thing that caused us to lose. And I find it so condescending to Democratic voters that he would sit there, Ken Martin would sit there and say, we don't want people weaponizing it. We don't want people doing this, that he gets to pick the way people react. I mean, this is just such disdain for the Democratic base. We're not fucking morons. Trump says, I do great with the poorly educated. He has that group that you can hide information from. And they're like, okay, the Democrats want the information.
4:29We need the information. It is just such bullshit. It infuriates me. And meanwhile, while the Democrats are dithering with this and trotting out a horrible DNC chair, Ken Martin, I mean, that's horrible. That is disgraceful. absolutely disgraceful. Trump is laser focused on his ballroom and putting his face everywhere he can. Let's pop this up. Now he wants to put his face on passports. The U.S. will soon begin issuing passports featuring an image of President Donald Trump inside, a State Department official says. And then you see the image of Donald Trump's face over the Constitution, which Kylie, one of our producer says, how perfect is it that his face is covering the constitution?
5:16I mean, you know, just the irony in that. Well, it's his mugshot too, no less, because he thinks that it makes him look so tough. The first thing I did when I saw this is I grabbed every passport in my house to make sure nobody needed a renewal anytime soon, because I was like, okay, we're never leaving the country again, because I will not have a passport with his face on it. But I just thought, is it ever going to end? Could he put his face on money? He wants his own coin. He wants his art. He wants his face on the DOJ, all of this stuff. But you know what? It still doesn't matter. He's still a complete prick that doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
5:58But immediately I thought, can you imagine if you were going to a foreign country? Because everybody on planet Earth that's not in the United States thinks he is the biggest dipshit in the history of the world, that these customs agent would be like, poor thing. I'm so sorry he's your president. Because everywhere I've been, people have been like, oh my God, he's the worst. So to me, it's just, it's a humiliation exercise for every single American that needs a new passport. Well, yeah. And it's what fascists do. It's what dictators do. It's what autocrats do. It's a part the propaganda branding it is intentional it is by design that he wants to brand himself all over the place and there is not enough passports in the world there is not enough coins in the world that we can put his face on that will fix this man he is foobar he is up beyond all repair this man is broken he was born broken he was raised by broken people he bankrupted casinos he's bankrupted the United States and he will die a broken person.
7:05This cannot be fixed. It cannot be fixed. And the Treasury also released draft images of a$1 commemorative coin featuring Trump's profile on the front and on the back. Trump raising his fist in front of the American flag with the words, fight, fight, fight, referencing the quote unquote assassination nation attempt that even his own supporters now think was staged. So that is his legacy there. He also installed a new statue of himself at his golf course in Miami. It's just as bad as you might think. Pop it up. Trump's Doral National Golf Course in Miami installs gold statue of Trump, which is remarkably similar to one of Dear Leader in North Korea.
8:01And North Korea's statue actually looks more expensive than Trump's. You can see it on the right, and then you see Trump's there on the left. And what you can't see in the statue, which I'm very disappointed in the artist, are his bulging cankles. So that was a complete artistic error or intentional airbrush. you know they didn't have the deteriorating hands or the chlamydia rash that he has on his neck this is the shit I remember when Obama was president I remember Fox News he's so arrogant he thinks he's a king blah blah blah and then I think what just fascinates me so much and I want to talk to we need to get a psychologist or psychiatrist on here about this all these men, these alpha men that are just like cheerleading all of the, this, um, uh, idolatry of this really unattractive human being, both inside and out.
9:03I mean, objectively unattractive and how much they all worship him. It's really fascinating to me that like, they're like, Oh yeah, this is our guy. This is our tough alpha male. Like Jesse waters. I mean, is really clearly visibly aroused when he talks about Trump and Stephen Miller. It's the weird weirdest shit I've ever seen. I don't think we need a psychiatrist or psychologist. This is the little dick energy parade. Every single man that looks at Trump and says he's such a strong alpha man. I know immediately, number one, you're so totally insecure. You have a little dick and you are fucking terrible in the bedroom.
9:41You are a gyrator, quick shot extraordinaire, just like deer later. All right. And then we have a photograph here of Trump's physical health. Let's pop this up. So there you have the, this is what the artists missed here. You have the cankle sitting there next to King Charles, and then you see his hands. Now we have makeup, not only full face of makeup, but makeup on both hands to cover up whatever bruising or whatever he has going on there. And this is our wartime president. Okay. So think about their whole image a year and a half ago, fight, fight, fight. They thought, Oh, what a fucking badass.
10:18God spared him. God spared him. We're all going to go to the RNC and put, uh, maxi pads on our ears and, you know, mass deportations now, and we're going to do all this crazy shit. And he has cankles, dementia. And then he made a stunning announcement last night at a state dinner with King Charles. Play the clip. From the frozen hills of Korea to the scorching sands of North Africa and the Middle East. And we're doing a little Middle East work right now, too, if you might know. And we're doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent. And we're never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.
11:08They know that and they've known it right now very powerfully. King Charles agrees with me more than I agree with me. I mean, that's just fucking insane. And you always know when he says, everybody says, or a bunch of people told me this. And And as you know, everybody knows this. You know he's sitting there lying. He's lying. The Pentagon is lying to us. They're lying about everything regarding this war. And they are firing these smart, seasoned veterans that have devoted their life to the military, that advise this president, do not go to war. Do not do it. The Strait of Hormuz will be shut down.
11:53You're going to have an energy crisis. this. The Iranians have a military strategy that is not centralized. You cannot do this. And Trump kicked all of those people out of the room and he listened to all of the dipshits. And then there's one guy who keeps leaking all of this information to the press pumps. And I'm talking about our little smoky eye sociopath, eyeliner wearing couch fucker, J.D. Vance, who's so desperate right now. He's desperate to be like, I'm the adult in the room. I told them not to go to war. And we've had two leaks recently to the press and just, I am on rat fuck watch right now.
12:30Okay. Because the most recent leak was over the weekend that Trump, that Vance was saying that the Pentagon wasn't being clear with Trump about what's happening over there. Trump does not like to be humiliated or undermined. Ask Anthony Scaramucci about that. ask Pam Bondi about that. Ask, uh, Christy Nome about that. So he's rat fucked JD Vance recently. The, um, Erica Kirk face plant where 30 people showed up to his rally and even Erica Kirk didn't show up. He's the fraud czar, the fraud czar, the most fraudulent mafia boss on the planet. And he goes, how can I fuck JD? Oh, I'm going to put him in charge of fraud.
13:13So when all these fraud charges come down when I'm dead, we can all go, Oh, JD Vance, you were supposed to prevent this. And then of course he sent him to Hungary to campaign with Viktor Orban face plant city. I mean, humiliating, there's video graphic evidence of JD Vance humiliating himself in Hungary. And then of course he sent him to Pakistan, which was a total face plant joke. So I'm on rat fucker watch. I think that this week or next week, he is JD Vance is going to be set up to completely face plant even more and I'm here for it. I don't know about you guys, but Mother's Day has snuck up on us very quickly and I have the perfect gift for all of you last minute shoppers.

Kristi Noem is squatting. Pop this up. Kristi Noem accused of squatting in government homes six weeks after being fired. She moved into the Coast Guard commander's waterfront residence at Joint Base Anacostia Bowling after Trump fired the previous commandant where she has been living rent free. What is it called, Pumps? Waste, fraud, and abuse? Yeah, waste, fraud, and abuse. I wonder if we're going to put the fraud czar on this.
15:26Maybe he should go over there with an eviction notice. Here's the deal. Kristi Noem is now the Avengers of America person, whatever Trump appointed. I guarantee you she will stay there because she has dirt on Trump and they can't get rid of her or she'll tattle because she's too stupid to demand a pardon. And I've also heard, you know who else has moved in there too? No, I don't know if this is true. Lewandowski. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean, you know, she's not going home to South Dakota. Of course that's true. I think he's probably been living. I mean, Big Titty Brian's at home on OnlyFans and you know, this is Lou Wendowski it's reported and Kristi Noem the squatter, they wanted a queen size bed in their PJ.
16:12So they could slap and tickle while Big Titty Brian is, I think it was, he wanted to be a trans bimbo slut. And here's the thing, like I support Big Titty Brian if he wants to be a trans bimbo slut. But news for you, Maga doesn't support you. Your wife doesn't. No, not at all. She's too busy having an affair with Corey Lewandowski because of your godly marriage, which is so perfect. Every psycho, overtly Christian couple I know is Big Titty Brian and Kristi Noem. Every single one of them. All right. That's all we have. Like, subscribe. We'll be back later with more news.
16:54Thank you.
