The episode offers a critical analysis of the 2024 election results, framing them as a turning point in American politics. Key figures like Annie Andrews are celebrated for rejecting political dynasties and billionaire influence, emphasizing service to constituents over allegiance to powerful donors. The discussion critiques the media’s corporate bias and the Democratic Party’s failure to address economic inequality, especially among younger generations. A central theme is the growing public awareness that the U.S. operates under an oligarchic system, where wealth and power are concentrated among the top 1%, leading to widespread frustration. The rise of progressive voices, including those advocating for worker equity and systemic reform, is presented as a necessary response to economic and social injustice. Criticism of religious extremism—particularly from Christian fundamentalists and Islamophobic rhetoric—is highlighted, with figures like Laura Loomer and Abdul El Sayed exemplifying resistance to religious imposition. The episode also underscores the failure of MAGA leaders to learn from past misinformation and legal misconduct, while calling for a cultural shift in corporate America toward fairer wages and greater accountability. Ultimately, the narrative positions the election as a victory for grassroots democracy, diversity, and economic justice over elite control and ideological extremism.
Welcome to the Magneteers episode. This is a very, and very, very important piece to your celebratory menu today. This is a very important item. First up, we have Sean Hannity literally on the verge of tears over Darling Kiss My Ass. My brother is a bottom-gram, played a clip. - Panel, South Carolina, again, Sean. - Rural, I mean, I kind of agree with Tray in the sense that I think Darling was put in an untenable position. She actually would be better. Morris, South Carolina, focused at her brother, who was very foreign policy-focused. She hadn't buried her brother. She hadn't mourned her brother. And her governor and her president asked her to serve, and she did. It's sad to me, you know, ended tragically. - It's tragic, it's absolutely tragic, that a completely unqualified dipshit got her ass handed to her by a very qualified, highly educated, American woman named Annie, who took transphobic and ridiculous attacks on her. And she stood her ground. She stood for South Carolina. And she stood for women. She stood for diversity. She stood for everything that you don't have a modicum of courage to stand for. You fat ass, Sean Hannity. - You know, here's the thing. Trump picked her, he hand picked her. He hand picked her. - Oh yeah. - Kim Paxton. This is a repudiation of him across the board. And when you look at this, honestly, I was kind of worried that the name would carry her through, because her brother was so popular for so long. But Lindsey Graham lost the plot a long, long time ago. And one of the things that I really appreciated about Annie Andrews' speech is she said, "I don't owe anything to big money. "I owe I candidacy in my winning to South Carolina." And I thought that was powerful. And she wasn't the only one that said that. These people need to be responsible to their constituents, not Donald Trump, not Sean Hannity, to the people that put them in office. - And that is the message that the mag is feeling, that Elon Musk is feeling, that all these billionaire donors are feeling this morning. But also that is a message that corporate Democrats need to feel that your seats are not safe if you continue to take money from the same fascist collaborators that fund MAGA. Moving along here, we have Caroline Levitt blaming the media for MAGA's loss. The media that's been bought up, by the way, Trump, sick, or fan, billionaire losers, like there is no unbiased corporate media at all anymore. It is a media of corporations, by corporations, for corporations, full stop, play the clip. - Unfortunately, I think the American people forgot about the good policy, maybe listened to the lying media on the other side, that is definitely in the backseat of the Democrat party. And the Democrats don't have policy solutions. - They know how much money they have. They got more money in their pockets 'cause of the president's tax cuts that Democrats voted against. - Actually, you don't have more money in your pocket. - Only like a few of his friends do. Go ahead, Pumps. - Donald Trump has more money in his pocket. Steve Whitcock, Jared Kushner, all those people, working class Americans, blue collar, middle class people don't. Caroline Levitt, shut the fuck up. Like I thought you were staying home with your kids. Do us a favor, shut up because they do know how much money is in their pocket. And the only people that are getting rich not paying taxes are the top 1%, so enough already. That just tells you where her mind is because she's like, well, I have more money in my pocket 'cause I'm married to a billionaire 40 years older than me, or a millionaire 40 years older than me, good for you. But if you weren't married to a millionaire 40 years older than you, and you had to raise two kids on a salary of less than $60,000, let's see how far that takes you. - All right, next up we have Will Kane melting down about socialism, let's play this clip. - I believe that we're entering an era of politics where we have wild populous swings on a four and maybe two year cycle. You know, this is a midterm, and midterm's always go against the party in power. But I think we're entering a very schizophrenic swinging era for our politics back and forth. And the dangerous thing about that bread is that in this case, we're swinging towards socialism. And if that's where we're headed, that's a hard one to swing back from. - This is all they have, is this fear mongering about socialism, which they fundamentally don't understand. The Democrats immediately need to adopt a message that we don't have a capitalist society right now. We live in an oligarchy period. And you have two political parties that have establishment bases. You have a mega party, which is a party full of bigots and a party full of billionaires and billionaire ass kissers. And they preferred form of economic economics they want for the country is oligarchy. In the democratic party, you have the new dims that broke out that have been breaking out since Zoran won and so on. The seeds that Bernie Sanders planted that are growing who has said that this form of capitalism is not sustainable because it leaves the majority of Americans behind. The establishment Democrats are not capitalist, they are corporates. And so Democrats need to define this message very clearly, the new dims, the progressive dims, like Angie said, that Annie Andrews said, I don't know anybody. I won this, fair and square, and I'm gonna work for you. We need to start educating the public that we don't live in a capitalist system right now. And the democratic establishment, the people who are jockeying for these leadership positions that have been, you know, in the Senate or the House since the Iron Age, they are corporates. And so it's super important that we start talking about every capitalist society has a great mixture of socialism in it. And we have to educate the public on this because all they're gonna do is sit there in fear monger with this socialism stuff. When the irony of it is, the majority of the MAGA voters enjoy socialism every day via their veterans benefits or their Medicare or their Medicaid or a visit to the library, roads, bridges, et cetera. And next up, we have Harris Faulkner and she is blaming young people not being educated for Democrats winning, play the clip. - But the other thing that we saw were these Gen Z voters and we saw this during the primaries, they were coming out for some of that socialism slash communism. They were looking for some relief. They're living in a slightly different economy than what we live in in terms of established God forbid older people. And it is just what it is, right? So they're, I'm not gonna be able to buy a house they're thinking, who's telling me that I'm gonna get this free and get that free? That spins their heads because they haven't studied. - There's more quickly. - This notion that, this is what Republicans always do and it's so insidious, that people who want the government to deliver for them materially, we pay a lot of money in taxes and in turn, we intend to receive material deliverables back to us. This Republican narrative that democratic voters want things for free, needs to be flipped upside down. The people who get free shit are the corporations. The people who get free shit are the billionaires. And the system fundamentally cannot afford them any longer. The big, beautiful bill, the big bullshit bill as Angie Nixon so brilliantly called it is the biggest power shift, money shift from working class Americans to people who absolutely don't need it. Because all of the people at that desk are entitlement enablers. They are entitled and they themselves want to enable the most greedy grotesque members of this society. We have to culturally change this, culturally change it and not reward billionaires that want handouts anymore. And instead reward billionaires in corporations that say, we're going to do stuff completely differently here. Our CEO doesn't need to make $400 million a year. That's crazy. That's nuts. So what we're going to do is he's going to make $25 million a year. He's going to be just fine. And we're going to take the rest of that money and we're going to distribute it to our employees and benefits and perks. If a company did that, I wouldn't have any problem with him getting a tax loophole. And so we have to culturally change this and our work begins today, right, two day on this. - Now, I completely agree. And when you think about how I'm not don't quote me on the number, but I think it's over 70% of wealth is concentrated in this older group of Americans. Well, no wonder young people are frustrated. More are living with their parents. More can't afford housing. They can't make their paycheck, their insurance. Through work is eating up their paychecks. Something has to be done about this. This cannot stand. It is not sustainable. And to go out every day and work your ass off and not be able to make enough money that you don't need snap benefits, those days need to be over. And it should be the employers that are paying the difference. Not the worker. And that is something I completely agree with you. When are these corporations going to start paying their employees so that they can have a life?
outside of working their asses off all the time. - And then moving along, we have a Brett Baer. Brett Baer, as I say, Baer, I never watch about Baer. Brett Baer caught on a hot mic, trying to spin the election results after Abdul El Sayed won. - Seemed so many yard signs out for a dual El Sayed, is she has ever seen there in that area. Brett Martha? - Okay, can we do a spin on the races that, oh, I'm sorry, Garrett. I guess we're on TV now, thanks. (laughing) - Can we do a spin? Can we spin this? - How can we spin this? What can we tell the idiots that pull up to Fox News every day and want to be lied to, pathologically lied to? What can we do? And here it gets even worse. Here is a hot mic. This is NBC when Kornaki is up at his magic wall. And the decision desk or the people behind the camera hear that Abdul El Sayed has won. And I want to play this for you because this is somebody that works for NBC. And this is their reaction that they didn't realize was caught on a hot mic. Play the clip. - And Virginia Fox is in danger of losing this district. Yes. - Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't know if you're seeing folks, El Sayed is claiming, is claiming victory Rodgers is not conceded. - Okay, so you heard that. That person at the behind there said, you know, that Abdul claimed he won and you hear the person say, oh, God. This is really why Abdul's race was the most important for me because there is a group of people within the Democratic Party, within the consulting class that tell you if you criticize Israel that you're a bigot. And I am sick to death of it. I'm an American. I have the First Amendment. And I can say whatever the fuck I want to about any country that I want to at any given time. When I criticize Israel, when I criticize their genocide, when I criticize their government and the actions that they take, when I criticize Netanyahu, bin Gavir or Smotrich, I get to fucking do that. And you don't get to take that away from me. And this whole fear of people that don't understand the difference between a criticism of a government and they personally take it that somehow I'm criticizing Jewish people, that's about you and your own indoctrination that you need to go deconstruct. That's not about me. That's about you. Because on the Democratic side, you have people who are exercising their First Amendment that are criticizing Israel. And we get to, just like we get to criticize Russia or Saudi Arabia or Victor Orban's Hungary before he was defeated. We get to do that. And then on the right, you actually have real anti-Semites that for some strange reason, Jonathan Greenblatt and Haley Stevens and all these people rush up to endorse all these candidates. They have all these little Nazis that work on their staff. And there's a fundamental difference in this. But they go and saddle up with the Nazi sympathizers because they think, oh, they won't care if we kill all these people. So do not sell me this bullshit of politics that I don't get to believe in universal human rights and that I don't get to criticize Israel. That's a you problem, not a me problem. And I am sick of it. And I'm dual-else I edit is at once in a generation candidate. He is an asset to this country. He is an asset to the United States Senate and cut on Michigan seven points he won. You rejected all that shit. What an incredible electorate. Michigan should just be beaming with pride because he is just going to be a mammoth in the United States Senate. - Well, and here's the thing. When people say, I want to criticize who I believe should be criticized, but I want to protect everybody. Why is that so scary for Republicans? Because at the core of it, it's white supremacy, it's cruelty. But just back to the Fox News in the Breppe era, when I saw that, I thought, has the Dominion lawsuit taught you nothing? You have to pay almost a billion dollars and you're still trying to lie. Are you fucking kidding me? These people don't learn. - Okay, just a few more here, perhaps before we wrap. Here's Laura Loomer reacting to the election results. I'm gonna pop this up. I hope everyone is learning Arabic and to you, Laura. I said, that's right, bitch. Woke, Sharia is here in the United States. And here's the fundamental difference. I'm not a fan of any religion. I'm an atheist. I can't stand Islam. I can't stand Christianity. I can't stand Judaism. Greek gods, all of them. No use for any of it. But my experience of an American, as an American is as such. The people who try to impose the religion on me the most, are the Christians. - Yeah. - The people who try to censor my speech the most in this country are people who are Israel first Americans. The politicians that are Muslim in the United States of America have been the most attractive to me. And this is something I didn't have on my bingo card 10 years ago as an atheist. You have Zoran Mamdani who goes to pride parades with a trans flag. You have Abdul Al Sayyed who refused. Refused to throw trans kids under the best. Refused to do it because he believes in equal rights for everybody. So this is just a completely unbiased take on how a person who has never been indoctrinated into any religion. I see from the Christians, they want to control what I do with my body, what I do in my bedroom, all of that stuff. I'm not saying there aren't fundamentalist Muslims. There are and it's whacked out. And I'm not down for any of it. I'm an equal opportunity critic of religions. Truly, I think they're all batshit. I truly do. But the Muslim politicians that I have seen come to the fold here that have been elected, I've really liked. And again, I did not have that on my bingo card. - I completely agree. And I mean, just leave it to Laura Loomer. Wasn't she the one that said Zoran was going to start teaching Arabic in New York City public schools after he won? It's just the same hateful rhetoric over and over. Shut the fuck up, Laura. Your time is over. She's a policy maker in this White House. Girl, bye again. - All right, and then Christy Nome had the audacity to respond. Larry Kudlow is correct. We were too successful the first year of the Trump administration. They were just too successful, you guys. - Yeah. - The delusions of grandeur with these people is just, I don't know, I think it's a perfect combination of like mental illness plus low IQ. I mean, it has to be because how do you write that? And then we have Ken Paxton supporters crying in prayer circles at his election night party, play the clip. So there they are and they're in prayer circles crying. And it's just pretty interesting that like this is why I'm telling you guys, it's a Christian Taliban. It's these, they are the problem. They are the problem. If there becomes a group of fundamentalist Muslims that want to do a bunch of shit like that, I'm going to be the biggest ringleader calling that shit out and I mean it with everything in me because I want to live in a secular society. I want religion out of politics. Maga doesn't know, they don't want that. All right, that's all we have. It's a great day to be an American. Please like and subscribe and we'll be back later with more news. (upbeat music)
