It Keeps Getting Worse For Him as GOP Collapses

The transcript blends personal experiences with political commentary, centering on Carvana’s convenient online car delivery as a relatable opener. It then shifts to a sharp critique of Republican political figures, particularly Florida’s “Governor Kittenheels,” portrayed as a fascist, silent enabler of ICE raids and a Trump loyalist. The speaker condemns the broader Christian nationalist movement, arguing that radical Christian leaders weaponize religion to suppress LGBTQ+ rights and women’s freedoms, contrasting them with progressive, secular youth who prioritize inclusivity and social justice. New Democratic candidates like Abdul El-Sayed are lauded for defeating heavily funded opposition, signaling a political realignment. The discussion also exposes systemic corruption in political funding, especially within MAGA Inc., which funnels money from tech oligarchs into government projects. The speaker emphasizes the moral decay of traditional Republicanism and the rise of a new generation of ethical, inclusive leaders. Ultimately, the narrative calls for a fundamental shift in the Democratic Party, moving beyond seniority and corporate influence to embrace moral integrity, transparency, and accountability in governance. The tone is defiant and hopeful, celebrating the growing power of secular, progressive voices in American politics.

It's just fun to take a moment to remember that Susan Collins got her ass beat after 30 years of being an absolute failure and an utter disgrace. One of the worst senators ever. She's gone. She got her ass beat. Love it. But we can enjoy all of this and it's great. But we are the New Dems and we are going to enjoy this and gloat. And we're also going to start targeting 2028 Republican presidential hopefuls. And one, that I want us to really laser focus on is somebody who face planted in the 2024 primaries. They already thought, oh, he's going to be the new Trump. And then he face planted spectacularly. And then he's been quiet ever since. I refer to this man as Governor Kittenheels. He is the governor of Florida because he wears a little lift in his shoe to make him a little taller. And Governor Kittenheels is coming out swinging. Let's play the clip. Be clear about what happened last night. This is close to an extinction level event for Republicans in many parts of the country, as we have seen probably in the last 100 years. In January, when everyone in office leaves, who are either term limited or got voted out, of the 10 largest states in this union, only one state will have Republican control of their state, the state of Florida. Okay. So here he is, you know, Monday morning quarterbacking. He's had a lot of time, two years, to be critical of Trump. And that's just one clip. In the other clips, he's talking about that Republicans have been gaslighting people and all of this stuff. Not on our watch, Governor Kittenheels. You need to put on your little white rain boots, Kylie, if you'll find those on the internet and pop those up while Josh talks. We need to start hammering immediately because this is what the Republicans do. And this man is completely disqualified. He endorsed Trump. He is a Trump thumper. He is a part of the problem. And somehow he's miraculously able to use this ass-whipping that the Republicans got last night and try to credit himself, that his state somehow. There he is. Yeah. Is that the picture that you're referring to? Yeah, that's Governor Kittenheels. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. He's clearly not missing any meals either, is he, down there in Florida? But he's, you know, makes it all about him. Like, he's doing something great. And I don't know if. And he's right about that, though. There is an extinction going on with the Republican Party, but I would let him know that it equally applies to the state of Florida. You barely, barely snuck out a victory with your Republicans. And a lot of that, I would put on the blame of Chuck Schumer for not funding Angie Nixon. Completely agree. Huge part of it. Otherwise, she would have won that race and you couldn't make that claim today. And so, just be grateful. Because we're coming for you next. Like, don't get satisfied that you're going to be there for long because we're targeting Florida next and it's going to happen. And Governor Kittenheels oversees a huge, huge immigrant population in Florida. Beautiful, beautiful Latino and Hispanic population in Florida. And he was pretty silent on all the ICE raids and pretty cooperative and allowed his citizens and his green card holders and documented and undocumented people to be treated inhumanely. And that should be his legacy. And we need to remind Floridians all of the time, he didn't give a shit about any of that. He was a fascist collaborator to his core with this regime because he's a fascist. And here's some more good news. Trump lost money in last night's elections. Pop this up. Trump's media stock plummeted today following cataclysmic Republican losses in the midterm elections. The company's stock, which trades under the name DJT, was trading at around $5.08 on Wednesday morning, down 14% from the prior trading session and trending downward. And I can only say that I hope that these losses continue when oversight figures out how much illegal money he has taken, in my opinion, from tax papers. And there really needs to be a large investigation into this super PAC that he can control, called MAGA Inc., where all of this money comes in from these tech oligarchs that Donald Trump controls himself. And once you pay MAGA Inc. $5 million, $10 million, $25 million, guess what you get in return? Taxpayer funded government projects. They buy in, Trump keeps the money, and then Trump gives our taxpayer funders to fascist collaborators that are trying to destroy the planet and our civilization. That is a grift. And it's just like this MAGA Inc. And the more you learn about these super PACs, you know, in theory, Citizens United meant that a super PAC could not be connected to a candidate directly. But we all know that in application, super PACs are all controlled by the candidates. Nobody enforces that. The FEC doesn't. Nobody does. It's just like everybody turns a blind eye. But Trump, you know, he's got this miraculous way. He grifts off of everything. Now, he's grifting off of two wars right now. Just think about that. And he's got an envoy that somehow uses that fancy term, envoy, with Witkoff and Kushner that he sends, you know, all across the world to negotiate things. The reason why those two guys go, number one, they're both cons. They're both complete criminals, corrupt. But they're negotiating side deals. You know, it's like this thing in Alaska where, you know, to sell this natural gas or oil or rights to the energy in Alaska, somebody's going to get paid like $50 billion. You know, there's all these side deals where people are making money off this. And I couldn't believe the reporting about Kushner going over there. And he's got an ownership in companies that sell weapons in the war with Israel and Iran. And so he's got a vested interest in that. And he's also someone that goes over there and negotiates the war for the president. All of this stuff, like everybody's grifting. They're all corrupt. Shaq here. What's it like to buy a car from Carvana 100%? Online and get it delivered to your door. Let me tell you, your car is here, Mr. Shaq. Thank you, Mr. Carvana guy. Shaq. Hey, have you always been so big, tall and handsome? Not always. I was 6'10 once. Seven days delivered or returned, Mr. Shaq. Not that I would. You never do. No, I never do. All right. And then we have in Ohio, Amy Acton, who was completely, her past child sexual abuse, a horrific thing that happened to her, was exploited by Vivek Ramaswamy. And she snubs him. Pop this up. Democrat Amy Acton lets Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio governor concession call go to voicemail. Ramaswamy tells supporters he called to congratulate her and left a message wishing her well. And I say, I do not blame her one bit. This is how we feel about these Republicans. And there are degrees of how bad they are. But even anybody, in my opinion, who is co-signed, voted for, is still voting for, still identifies as MAGA, hit the bricks. Go pound sand. It's not a political difference that I have with you. It is a moral difference. I think you're a moral degenerate. And Vivek Ramaswamy is exactly that. And let me just say this. Had that been Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries, they would have, number one, taken the call. And then, number two, asked if they wanted to be in his cabinet, in a position. They would have said, hey, we can work this out. Now, even though we were foes, we can work this out. Don't worry about it. I got a spot for you. But these new guards, like Amy Acton, he's like, fuck that guy. He ran a campaign about me. I'm not talking to him. That's the way we all feel that Schumer and Jeffries don't get. We're all that mad. All right. And then the Democrats beat Republicans who had dropped out of their races. Pop this up. An Iowa Democrat who dropped out of his race in September over health issues still won his state house seat comfortably in a district that leans Republican. I'm going to do my best to represent Eric Armstrong, tell the New York Times, but I still have health issues. Yeah. We'd rather have a half-dead Democrat than we would. Instead of Republican. I mean, hopefully Mr. Armstrong is okay. I know nothing about his medical condition, but that's what they're saying. We don't know his status. We don't know if he's conscious or not. not but by god we'd rather have him than one of those goddamn corrupt republicans okay and then this is something that's really exciting for me um everybody knows i am not religious josh and i are atheists and um really really a secular society separation of church and state is just so incredibly important to me i think it's a healthy in any uh healthy democracy uh we don't need religion we don't need theocracies we don't need christian nationalists etc this is stunning pop this up so the largest religious group to show up at the polls yesterday and vote blue was no religion at all the nuns and so you can see there and the muslims showed up and voted too but the people who who were questioned 77 77 of the nuns voted for uh democracy for decency for accountability for affordability for all of the things and this is something that's important to me to always contrast um when i meet religious people that wear their religion and it's you know in your face and they start recruiting you not the people who listen to this show who see jesus as a radical empath and a person that preaches social justice i'm not talking about you all i'm talking about the evangelicals that vote for trump they're mean they have a religion of cruelty and then they vote for a politics of cruelty and when you have atheists out here all the time schooling them on the fact that jesus actually had brown skin this white republican capitalist that you envision that's not who he was and jesus would have welcomed uh refugees jesus would have said black lives matter jesus wouldn't be mean to trans people jesus wouldn't have an opinion about gay marriage he would just want to lift people up but most importantly jesus spoke out exclusively against the accumulation of wealth so i think if you are not religious and you have a fierce moral compass it is important to always draw that distinction because our fight against maga extends to a much longer fight that's that that maga uh jumped on the train of or that this bigger fight co-opted magafor which is the christian nationalist fight these people are well funded they are organized and they are relentless and they are batshit crazy and i would say that that nun figure nun figure represents a lot of the 20 year old 30 year olds of this generation a huge and we're going to see more and more of that in the next 5 10 15 years as they get older and these 60 70 year olds fade out and i'm kind of included in that group but um it's just a different generation they care about different things they they don't care if you're gay they don't care for trans they don't care about anything like that they're not full of hate like that and and and they're not these religious zealots that and i just like you i respect people that that have religion in their life that use that as their guiding template that makes them a better person but i don't respect the people that use it in a way and weaponize it and try to condemn people and tell people or preach to people how they should be but i respect everybody's right to be whatever it is they want to be but i do think this younger generation is more in line with the way you and i think they just don't care about stuff like this all right and let's do a little check-in with benny johnson in his show play the clip we're going to have el sayed in the united states senate we've opened up our doors to folks that embrace sharia law i mean and we don't even want to talk about the horrors of sharia law for women for members of the gay community and he has being embraced by the left well that's interesting they mentioned the gay community in front of benny johnson whoa i did not have that on my bingo card but here's the thing is that ron johnson is that who that is is he still around i guess i guess and unfortunately but here's the the thing with this so this notion that christian nationalists say about women you're a member of the political party whose pastors keep popping up all over the place pete hex's pastor and all these other people who say there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a house of law in the united states and there should be a household vote that want to a household vote that want to a household vote that want to strip women of their right to vote and strip women of their right to vote and strip women of their right to vote and then as it comes to gays y'all are the then as it comes to gays y'all are the then as it comes to gays y'all are the ones that completely spent 300 million ones that completely spent 300 million ones that completely spent 300 million dollars on transphobia who are wound up dollars on transphobia who are wound up dollars on transphobia who are wound up like cheap clocks that gay people are like cheap clocks that gay people are like cheap clocks that gay people are getting married that want to uh prevent getting married that want to uh prevent getting married that want to uh prevent gay people from having children so maybe gay people from having children so maybe gay people from having children so maybe sit this out because the biggest problem sit this out because the biggest problem sit this out because the biggest problem in the united states that i've ever in the united states that i've ever in the united states that i've ever faced as an atheist faced as an atheist faced as an atheist it's not radical muslims it's not radical muslims it's not radical muslims it is radical christians the muslims it is
