WH in Total Meltdown Over This? Ted Cruz Attacked By JD on LIVE TV

0:04Josh Welch:Let's talk about the MAGA bench. You know, we have Kanks at the top, now was an orange hair, now recently a chestnut brown, also was pulled from the rubble at 9-11 and just the delusions of grandeur in which this man lives. So the people that support him to me are an interesting case study in complete submissive sycophancy of the highest order. So let's take a gander at who's on the bench of MAGA. We have, of course, Smokey Eye sociopath J.D. Vance. And then your next option is Lion Ted Cruz. And people are saying that these two, as well as Lil Marco Rubio, will be running for president. But here is Ted Cruz responding to what I believe was a dig from the Smokey Eye sociopath.

0:51Josh Welch:Play the clip. asked about you when he said this. I'd encourage any Republican, if you care about the country, and I think all of us do, you should be focused not on a job a few years from now. You should be focused on the midterms. Ted Cruz, I mean, look, man, he's just clearly Ted is a very authentic and likable guy, and I'm sure he'll do great. What did you hear on that comment? Oh, look, I appreciate the kind words from the vice president. Mm-hmm. Authentic and likable guy, which is interesting because everything I've ever read about Ted is that the Republicans hate him just as much as the Democrats do.

1:31I can't think of two words that are in more opposition to characterization of Ted Cruz than likable and authentic. Can you imagine? And I'm sorry, I have to bring this reference up again, but I just can't help but think of him scampering through the Cancun airport. I mean, that's just what I think of Ted on vacation during a horrible, horrible tragedy in Texas.

1:54Josh Welch:What's so interesting about the Cancun fiasco is a story that was written and sourced, I believe it was the New York Times, possibly the Washington Post, but a very well-sourced story where everybody is going on the record, dogging him and trashing him. And these are people within his friend group and his neighbors. Like in a text thread, I think. Yes, in a text thread talking about what a piece of shit he is. And these are people that are not in politics, that are just in his social circle. This guy is so universally hated that I think everybody in Washington, when they hear the smoky eyed sociopath say that about Ted Cruz knows that actually he was delivering a deadpan critique of Ted Cruz.

2:38Josh Welch:Of course, Ted Cruz feels nothing. I mean, he feels absolutely nothing. He's like, I appreciate the kind words from the vice president. But the Republican Party is going through quite a few things. And without Fox, I think Trump's approval numbers would be in the teens. But Fox carries the water for this guy. I mean, they go hard in the paint for him. And how they go hard in the paint for him is by not covering him. Instead, they are laser focused on one very popular majority elected, Zoran Mamdani. And here is Harris Faulkner on Fox. And I want you to notice the mental gymnastics she is going through here while Donald Trump is committing crimes.

3:23Josh Welch:Mark Wayne Mullen is double dealing with RFK Jr. and getting kids addicted to shit. They're not covering any of that, but this is what they're laser focused on. The first part, why did he hand the pen to Romsey Kasim? Because it sends the signal. And by the way, he didn't hand the pen to him. He gave it to his NYPD police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, first and had her hand him the pen. That is a huge signal. This is a guy who just handed what saved so many people, the head of the NYPD 25 years ago. He hands the pen to her as if to say, just pass this along. The one I'm really connected to is standing behind you.

4:06And why would I say that?

4:08Josh Welch:Yeah, because there's always been this sort of connection. Okay, pause for just a second. See, Josh, he hands the pen to the police chief, who is super pro-Israel, by the way. But somehow he's hoodwinked her into then handing it to somebody who at some point represented somebody who was accused of being in Al-Qaeda. The mental gymnastics, and as you can see, do you remember when Glenn Beck used to make all those crazy charts about like Obama and all of these? It's unbelievable to me. This Fox News channel, people would rather watch that shit than be told the truth. They would rather be lied to because they cannot handle the truth because their whole ethos is built on a house of cards.

5:00Josh Welch:And if any of it is removed, you fucked up by triple Trumping, you fucked up by believing all these Republican lies. Oh, FYI, the news channel you've devoted 10 hours a day to watching, they lie to you nonstop, 24-7, 365. So they just sign up more and more and more to be lied. And this is a cultural problem in America. We have a percentage of the electorate that are such pussies, they would rather be lied to than hear the truth. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from It Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills.

5:41But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. And the psychology in that, and we talk about this a lot, but the psychology of Fox News is they grab this boogeyman. Here, the boogeyman is the terrorist. And you somehow try to link Mamdani to a terrorist because he has, I think, a lawyer that works for him that had represented someone charged with terrorism before.

6:21And that's the link. But if you see, they always try to prop up this straw person. And what they're doing then is creating this narrative that Zoran is somehow attached to the terrorist, that he's somehow linked to someone involved in 9-11. That's that's their claim. And they do this with the trans female athletes. They do it all the time. And if you notice what's missing in any of their discussions is any debate about policy that are going to help Americans in their day to day lives, it's always this fear based link. of someone on the left who's doing something that threatens their freedom, threatens their culture, their way of thinking.

7:00They create this boogeyman narrative. And that's what we have here. And what none of these people want to talk about again, and if you want to talk about 9-11, on September 13th, our government, our FBI cleared 160 Saudis to leave the country, two dozen of which were Osama bin Laden family members. Who does that?

7:22Josh Welch:None of us could fly. None of us. We were all grounded. Nobody else could fly. But the George W. Bush administration cleared the relatives of Osama bin Laden, who was the perpetrator of 9-11. You let his family members leave this country. The FBI vetted them and let them leave. And all of that is pursuant to the 9-11 commission. This isn't me just making this up. the 9-11 Commission made these findings, but yet they don't want to talk about that. Well, they also don't want to talk about this. Pop up Madi Hasan's analysis of this. Mamdani's lawyer represented people accused of being terrorists, not at the time actually convicted in courts of being ones, because that's his job as a lawyer.

8:08Josh Welch:Trump, on the other hand, invited the Taliban to Camp David around a 9-11 anniversary, recently sent perfumes, There goes the bi rumors again. Recently sent perfumes to an ex-Al Qaeda leader and his best friends with the Saudis. So shut the fuck up, maybe, says Mehdi. And this is a fundamental thing that the Democrats need to start doing in defense of our Muslim citizens in this country. Is Fox wants to preach all this Islamophobia to scare the shit out of you. all of the time. But they don't ever point out all of Trump and Jared Kushner's and all of the other people in the cabinet. They're double dealing.

8:56Josh Welch:So they're fine doing deals with the Taliban, with the Saudis. Jared Kushner's made billions of dollars with the Saudis. And let's not forget, the Saudis dismembered Jamal Khashoggi, poured him into a tube of acid, and then poured him down the drain while his fiance waited outside. And they are welcomed into this country. And every single bit of evidence points to the Saudis funded 9-11. And every president always kisses the ass of the Saudis. But somehow, Zoran and passing the pin, it's just utterly, utterly insane. Fox News is such a disgrace. Right. Kylie, can you put that tweet back up for a second?

9:46And let's pretend like you put Obama. Obama, on the other hand, invited the Taliban to Camp David. He sent perfumes to an al-Qaeda leader. He's best friends with the Saudis. Just think if that was Obama that had done those things. What do you think Fox News would be saying on their show? I mean, the best they got is that a lawyer on Mamdani's staff represented a terrorist when he was a— Alleged terrorist. Alleged terrorist when he was a criminal defense lawyer, when there were allegations pending against this man. But yet you've got concrete proof of some of the things Trump has done that they don't report on.

10:26It's a joke.

10:27Josh Welch:I would argue that our current attorney general, Todd Blanche, is also representing a terrorist. and represented a terrorist in Donald Trump because Donald Trump has killed over 200 fishermen without due process. Donald Trump is responsible of being the commander in chief of the military of killing, I think it's almost 200 Iranian school girls. Now they've just bombed a wedding. So Todd Blanche has no problem representing terrorists either. And that's the thing about criminal defense lawyers. A lot of people my husband here represents, I'm like, God, I can't believe you represent him. But either you believe in the rule of law and you believe people have a right to a vigorous defense or you don't.

11:07Josh Welch:And this is just all they have on this because they can't cover the next story that we're going to cover here about Corey Lewandowski and his corruption at DHS. Pop this up. The Wall Street Journal has just published a new story about Corey Lewandowski's corruption. While he was a special government employee at DHS, Lewandowski pitched a wealthy Gulf state to quote, hire me on the side, offering help with issues under DHS jurisdiction, including visas. Now, I just want to pause, leave that up. I want to pause right there and say, when Republicans want to do deals with rich Muslims, nobody talks about them as being terrorists or terrorist sympathizers or anything because it's business and we're making money.

11:56Josh Welch:So there's just, I'm going to leave that there. After Palantir negotiated a$2.7 billion DHS agreement, the contract sat unsigned while Lewandowski repeatedly sought a private one-on-one meeting with CEO Alex Karp. He's that kind of coked up looking guy that we've played videos of you all for. He's just a real nut. Karp and other Palantir officials were so uncomfortable with the circumstances that the meeting was canceled. The agreement was ultimately reduced to$1 billion. And I just want to point out this, and this is super important and also super juicy, but it is important. Chrissy Noem was head of DHS when Americans were shot, called terrorists, called fucking bitches, stuff like that.

12:44Josh Welch:That was under her tutelage that this stuff happened. All the same time, she wears a Christian cross around her neck nonstop and talks about the Lord and talks about Jesus and talks about family values. While all this is going on, her husband, Big Titty Brian, is on OnlyFans saying he wants to be a trans bimbo slut. If this were in a Hollywood movie, you wouldn't believe it. And on top of that, Corey Lewandowski is her boyfriend who she bought a private jet with taxpayer funded money with a bed in it. So allegedly they could bang on the plane because God only knows Big Titty Brian was too busy on OnlyFans.

13:26Josh Welch:And these people want to lecture us about who can have children and who can breed and family values and who can marry and who can't marry. The call is coming from inside the house. It's always been coming from inside the house. Corey Lewandowski, Big Titty Brian, and Kristi Noem are the perfect Republican family because Because behind all of these families that lecture us, you know the Millers, you know the Duffys, you know they've all got shit like this going on. All the sex workers are coming out now about Lady Graham in his red panties, taking it in the you know what. So I mean, just give me a break with all of these people.

14:05Josh Welch:The hypocrisy of Republicans, Christian Republicans. All I can say to that is Jesus is good. Jesus is good. Jesus works in strange ways. But that's what's so rich about all of these narratives and all of these stories of Corey Lewandowski, Christy Noem, all of them. Don't forget Big Titty Brian. I don't even know that. I want you to say Big Titty Brian. Say it, Josh. Big Titty Brian. Not tittied, titty. Titty. Big Titty Brian. Big Titty Brian. Yeah. And did Fox News report anything about Big Titty Brian? I think that I didn't like kind of like one mention, they kind of tiptoed around Big Titty Brian a little bit, but the, the, the zero athletes in the WNBA and Hassan Piker, they've covered.

14:59Do you think that Big Titty Brian and Christy, do you think they go to church together?

15:05Josh Welch:Oh, for sure. And do you, I think they probably absolutely sit in the pew and they sing, the hams and they give the amends and do all that stuff. 100%, because here's how these people operate. Big Titty Brian on OnlyFans wants to be a trans-bimbo slut. I support Big Titty Brian wanting to be a trans-bimbo slut. There's Big Titty Brian in his pink panties with his… And for the record, we support his right to be able to look like that. I support it. I support Big Titty Brian being able to do that. I do too. I do. But Big Titty Brian's doing that. She's banging Corey Lewandowski, allegedly. And then as Republican Christians think, we go to church on Sunday, that completely takes us back to zero.

15:50Josh Welch:And then we can rinse and repeat. Do you think that Christy ever questions their faith when she sees that video of Big Titty Brian and thinks maybe our faith isn't helping us? Maybe our belief in this thing? No, because that would mean she'd have critical thinking. What she thinks when she sees that, the devil's gotten into my family. It's all the devil's fault. So then they're not going to church enough. Probably. I don't know. Or their prayer's not working or something. Prayer's not working. Something like that. Well, if they could figure that out and let us know, we'd like to know the solution.

16:27What a fucking joke.

16:29Josh Welch:A joke. He's a crook, just like all of them. She's a dog killer, an adulterer, oversaw an agency where, before we even talk about what she did to undocumented children, separating them from their families, but she has the audacity to lecture anybody about family values when Big Titty Brian, pop that back up again, that's her husband. And she's having an affair with Corey Lewandowski. who's trying to do deals with Muslims in Gulf states. And even for Palantir, they very much thought it was a bad deal. And those people are the worst operators on the planet. But this is Republican politics in a nutshell.

17:19Family values. Family values and Christian values and a belief system. Big Titty Brian. Yeah, Big Titty Brian. Okay. There you have it.
