0:04A juicy tell all about the absolute incompetence and criminal like activity coming out of the Trump regime just dropped. It's called Regime Change by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. And the details coming out of this are just as ridiculous as you would think. So, you know, Trump wants to build that big Arc de Triomphe, similar to the one in Paris, but he wants to call it the Arch de Trump. Well, he asked about putting a fist on it, a fisting arch. Pop this up. New reporting reveals Trump asked aides if he could add a giant fist on top of his 250-foot triumphal arch. Josh. It's like we have a kid that's at Legoland in the fucking White House.

0:54You see him holding these things together and he wants to put a fist on it. It's like, that's what you're thinking about. You're in the middle of this fucking war. It's a complete disaster. Maybe other things are more pressing. It's comical if it wasn't so dire and so panicky. What do you say? It's a real indictment on the people surrounding him and the Republican Party at large. At this point, I expect Trump to wake up, say crazy shit, do crazy shit, commit crimes, put on bad makeup, and just be an overall fleabag extraordinaire. I expect it. So then we have to widen the scope of accountability.

1:33little Marco, Stephen Miller, all of the sycophants surrounding him, J.D. Vance, Susie Wiles, the Senate majority leader, Senator Thune. Are you okay with all of this stuff? The president wanting to have a fisting Trump in the middle of D.C. with all of his bisexual statements recently, I guess it tracks. But another little tidbit that comes out is, you know, Josh, when he was being tried for his felony cases. He had a little gal that traveled around with him, which was, she was referred to as the human printer because she would print articles that were effusive towards Trump. And you had to go like into the dark web to find him, right?

2:17But she produced him and she put together a photo book for him to keep him entertained during his felony trial. Well, he recently is spilling the beans on her. Pop this up. The Daily Beast is reporting that Trump bragged that the adoring young female aide who is constantly by his side loves him as much as his wife and kids and will never leave him. And I would say, I don't think that sounds like she loves you that much. As much as your wife and kids. It looks like kind of a mini Pam Bondi. Doesn't she look like a little bit of a younger? She does. Pop that back up, Kylie. Yeah, I think he's got an affinity for blondes, definitely.

2:58You know, maybe she should have been helping Todd Blanche during that fucking trial, maybe lending him a hand in those 34 counts during the course of that trial. Instead of creating collage books, you could actually help the lawyers defend him because he was convicted, if memory serves right, of all counts in that trial. So instead of making a collage book for Donald, maybe she should have been helping Todd research some of the case law in that case. But only in Trump's America can you be a failed criminal defense lawyer and then be the acting attorney general. And more reporting coming out. Pop this up, Kylie.

3:38The New Yorker is reporting a new book by The Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan contends that Trump ran in 2024 for one reason above all. This was about staying out of prison. That may be one of the most truthful things that that man has ever said. I have no doubt that he ran for office because he knew his ass was going to prison if he didn't win. The better question is, what were 77 million people in this country thinking that elected this man to a second term? But that's probably one of the more truthful statements he's made. He knows his time is coming. He's got the Supreme Court.

4:23He's now placing these judges all across the country. He's trying to build up some insurance for when he leaves. But it's our responsibility to make sure he gets exactly what he deserves when his term is over. So we need to go vote people. All right. And then he has J.D. Vance and he has a very complicated relationship with J.D. Vance because J.D. Vance was handpicked by Don Jr. Who obviously Trump is not very nice to Don Jr. Didn't even go to his wedding. OK, so there's no love lost there. And he was picked by Don Jr. because the tech oligarchs, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, they wanted an heir apparent.

5:04They saw that this guy was demented. They saw that he was easy to manipulate. So they wanted to put an heir apparent because Elon Musk and Peter Till couldn't win a race for dog catcher. These people are unelectable. So they act as pimps and they hire prostitutes. And J.D. Vance is this country's top hooker. He is undefeated. And this is really, really big news because Melania's former best friend, Amanda Ungaro, said that Melania used to be a hooker for Jeffrey Epstein and was passed on to Donald Trump. That's what she tweets. But here is J.D. Vance, who is so unlikable, who Trump is constantly setting up for failure on a podcast, talking about how easy it is to have kids.

5:52All you have to do is just be vice president. Play the clip. About this job is there are certainly sacrifices for the family, but it's also just in some ways the easiest possible situation in which to have a baby because there's so much support. Like we have amazing staff. We have people who help us with everything. You know, this house, which is, I like, I liken it to the nicest public housing anywhere in the world, but like, you know, is largely taken care of by the Navy and the people who work here. And so while having a baby is always a bit of a challenge, especially in a job like this, I actually think that, you know, knock on wood, this is going to be the best way or like the easiest way, at least on the family to bring a new life into the world.

6:35Yeah. Listen up losers. You too can breed. If you become vice president, it's super easy. You have free public housing, some of the best in the world. You've got a staff, you've got the United States Navy assisting and helping you. And remember, this is from the guy who basically dry humped Erica Kirk on stage at that disastrous turning point thing. And she gets up on stage, this woman and says, have children even if you can't afford them. You think JD Vance would do that? You think that little princess right there is talking about how easy it is to be a daddy when you're the vice president of the United States when everything's provided for you.

7:12You think he'd be a broke ass dad? It's just unbelievable how unlikable and out of touch this guy is. And I couldn't be happier for him that everybody hates his guts. And I'm trying to follow what he's saying, but I guess he's saying that, look, it would be easy for us to have sex. We've got people waiting on us and bringing us drinks and it's a perfect time to breed. Is that right? I mean, I'm trying to track. I think it's more about the care of a child. Like we have, we don't have to worry about it. We don't have to worry about rent. We live in great public housing. I thought he was talking about birth.

7:46We have support staff. No, I mean, God, I can't believe your brain went there, darling. Think about JD and Usha doing it. I think this was probably a Petri dish baby. I just see him with, and I know you call him smoky eyed. Sociopath, yeah. Yeah, but I do notice that. Like in all of his interviews, I think he enjoys having that smoky dark eye. Like there's something about that that that he feels good about. Yeah. And I just think it's important that if a Democrat got on stage and spoke about how easy it was to have kids when the majority of Americans are battling inflation, battling high gas prices, battling all sorts of shit.

8:24He said, hey, it's so easy to have kids when you're vice president, got a free private plane. All this shit. It's just so out of touch, which brings me. Go ahead. Well, I was going to say, we need the American people to see this stuff. Listen to these type of interviews and just know what you're going through in the middle of America, having to work your ass off, having to pay rent, having to put gas that's way too high, inflation's up. Just remember these things. And you hear this guy who's so out of touch with day-to-day America talking about having the staff and how great it is to be able to raise children with all these resources.

8:58I mean, you know, clue in, just get it, get it. Here's the thing. This was on a right wing podcast. The sad thing is about a lot of these right wingers is they are capitalists with no capital who feel like I'm going to go vote for J.D. Vance to be able to breed and have a private plane. It's there's a real the the mindfuck that Republican propaganda has done to poor Americans has been so incredibly successful because I bet a lot of people watch that. They're like, I'm so glad that J.D. and Usha have such a great life. That's just so great that we're providing that. But this brings me to one of the biggest, most pathological loser senators ever.

9:42And it's Susan Collins. And she has a real candidate running against her named Graham Plattner, who the Republicans and the Democratic establishment are losing their shit about him. And he's beating her in polls. So Susan goes on to Fox News, you know, which is just like a bombing salve for a neocon loser like Susan Collins. And the journalist asks her about Israel, which I want to remind everybody, support for Israel, the country, sending them who are committing a genocide, killing civilians in Lebanon and Gaza, support for them.

10:23So here she is being interviewed about Israel. And I want to remind everybody that Israel support from the American public is at all time low. Play the clip. No way. I remain a very strong supporter of Israel, the one democracy in the Middle East, our true ally in the Middle East. And I think this sadly reflects rising anti-Semitism in our country that Graham Plattner certainly is part of. Number one, I'm so tired of the elder abuse from both parties. Quit running people that are not healthy enough to run. There's some sort of medical condition, visible medical condition. A senatorial term is six years.

11:17Number two, Graham Plattner needs to run just that, those words, and say, I'm Graham Plattner, and I approve this message. Number one, it is a lie that Israel is a democracy. That is a lie. That is a bald faced lie. Number two, it is a lie that they are our best ally. They just lied and manipulated our dementia ridden president and dog walked him into a war with Iran and we're in the United States of America double tapped a school where 154 little girls got killed and there's been no accountability for any of it. So if Israel really is our ally. I'd hate to see what an enemy looks like. Just seeing that interview, I don't know how anyone could watch that and think this is a person that needs to be elected to another term in the Senate.

12:08It seems like I read recently that when she was first elected as a senator, she said that she promised that she would run two terms, I think, at the most. And, you know, my affection for her goes back to the Brett Kavanaugh days. I mean, I don't think I've ever been so mad in my entire fucking live when she voted to confirm Kavanaugh is they were suppressing all these FBI complaints about Kavanaugh. If you remember that with Lindsey Graham and she, she was the decider in that. And you know, like, like if you're Graham Plattner, play that video and say, you can vote for that or you can vote for me.

12:44And I know they're beating up on, on Graham because of his past. I would think that the Trump regime, that all these MAGA fucks would love a guy like Graham Plattner as he's being portrayed to be, even though it's not him, because every fucking one of your guys are like that times five. And so he's got a little mud on him that ought to make you like him more, respect him more, because every person you all elect is a fucking complete felon who's on jailbreak from the county jail for a weekend spree. Yeah. And here's the thing. Nobody has a worse record than Susan Collins. I mean, it's just maybe Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham.

13:27This woman has been she's been in longer. She voted for Brett Kavanaugh. And then Brett Kavanaugh was the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade. Susan Collins took away medical autonomy and freedom for women. Susan Collins voted not to impeach Donald Trump because she said, quote, I think he's learned his lesson. And I just want to say this, Senator Collins, he did learn his lesson from Trump 1.0 to 2.0. He learned cheat better. He learned don't have anybody with integrity around you. And Susan Collins, you are number one, no integrity to act. She votes with Donald Trump 94 percent of the time.

14:11She's an abject failure. Give me Graham Plattner any day over her record. She's a liar. She's a hypocrite. She's a gaslighter. She is anti-woman. She is anti-law and order. She is pro-crime. She is pro-dementia. And I don't know what is wrong with her. But as a country, we have to quit putting sick old people on ballots. I mean, it's just insane, whether it's a Democrat or Republican. If you're old, at least be like Bernie Sanders, where nobody can really, nobody even thinks about it. But that, whatever that shake twitch thing was, come on, man, come on. Well, and she was about to fall over as she was getting out these obvious Fox buzzwords, like she could barely say anti, I mean, she's about to choke saying these things that she knows she's supposed to say during this interview.

15:02It's really kind of sad. But think about it. If you're, how old is she? Probably 80. I don't know. If you're that age and you've been able to just rip the American people off for all the money I think her husband's made tens of millions of dollars, why not just go to the beach, get the fuck out, just go. Is there something so addictive about that place that you just - We need to study that. With Biden, with her, with all of these boomers that have everything they could ever want, why they won't pass the torch. They just can't give it up. They just can't. to go do something better, to go be somewhere better, let someone else have a turn.

15:42The same thing with these Supreme Court justices too. And, and I, you know, I think we all had some criticism for Justice Ginsburg, why she didn't step down. You know, this whole, whole psyche could be examined and looked at from both sides of it. Like get the fuck out, let other people who are young, more in touch with day-to-day Americans jump in office and take the helm because so many of these people are just outdated. They don't get it. and then why these people at home just continue to vote for him. Yeah, and listeners, it's important. Our critique of this is bipartisan. RBG, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell went to the hospital a few days ago.

16:21Who knows if he's alive? He's been half dead for a decade. I mean, it's just enough. Susan Collins needs to be in some sort of Parkinson's testing, not on Fox News spewing propaganda that is dangerous, that is inherently false. She's on Fox News line, which makes sense because it's a propaganda channel. But anyway, you guys comment below. Tell us what you think about these politicians on both sides of the aisle that refuse to give up power. And tell us what you think about that main Senate race. All right. We'll be back later with more news. Thanks, Josh.

17:06Thank you.
