The MAGA Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, was marred by profound disorganization, offensive content, and extreme political rhetoric. From the outset, logistical errors—like misspelling "Dallas" on the main stage—highlighted poor planning. The event became a symbol of far-right extremism, as speakers repeatedly promoted the idea that "God has a penis," drawing direct parallels to anti-trans and anti-DEI messaging. Videos of Hassan Piker in underwear were displayed, while figures like Ken Paxton and Tim Scott aggressively attacked Democrats, accusing them of promoting communism, gender transition, and economic collapse. A controversial moment involved HUD Secretary Scott Turner allegedly touching Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, raising ethical and procedural concerns. Throughout, speakers ignored real issues like inflation, housing costs, and healthcare, instead focusing on ideological battles. Politically, the convention reflected a deep polarization, with speakers using hyperbolic, emotionally charged language to rally supporters. The event's tone and content—blending absurdity, bigotry, and performative outrage—underscored a troubling trend in MAGA politics: prioritizing symbolic purity over tangible solutions. The incident also coincided with breaking news about Grindr service issues, adding to the sense of chaos. The overall presentation was seen as a spectacle of delusion, with figures like Donald Trump’s "Natalie Harp" and MAGA "princes" reinforcing a performative, unaccountable movement. The convention’s failure to address public concerns and its focus on outlandish claims suggest a disconnect between political rhetoric and public need.
The MAGA Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas went off the rails really quick,
even before Donald Trump arrived. This event was an absolute disaster. First, let me just show you
what the stadium looked like. You can see there were a lot of empty seats. Also, the way they
structured where the stage was closed the stadium down to a lot of the seating at the same stadium
where the Dallas Mavericks play. And so the thing began and then the RNC chair Gruters starts to
speak. And you'll see over here, one of the letter L's for Dallas disappeared. So they spelt Dallas
wrong on the main podium. I'll show you here what some of the signs looked like that people who
attended were being handed. Signs like this, Biden and Harris broke it. Help is on the line.
On the way. That's what they're running with nearly two years into this awful Trump regime,
zero accountability. And then it got really, really weird. And I'll just show you what was
going down on the big screen in the stadium. They started showing videos and photos of Hassan
Piker half naked. Hassan Piker wearing underwear with his genitalia area censored out was
on full display at this event. And then you had a lot of the speakers, whether it was the MAGA
Republican senator from South Carolina or Ken Paxton or others. They wanted to make it very
clear that God has a penis. And they made that clear over. Don't you dare say that God is non
binary. And I'll show you what that looked like in a minute, because not the God part,
but what the MAGA Republicans were saying. Relax. They were showing this on the big screen
photos of Biden and Harris and Governor Walz. And that's what they were showing. Also,
there was a weird moment where HUD Secretary, Housing Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner
seemed to be potentially hitting Anna Paulina Luna, MAGA Republican congresswoman on her buttocks
area when she arrived.
A lot of the big MAGA influencers were in attendance. Scott Pressler, Brillen Hollyhand,
Benny Johnson. These individuals are considered to be the MAGA princes. And when they arrive,
they're there to talk about masculinity and the MAGA alpha male movement.
So they were there. So what Ken Paxton looked like, he delivered a speech at the Trump midterm
convention. And this is what he looked like. There's Pressler, the MAGA prince. Secret
weapon right there to the MAGA Republicans. Show you what the stage looks like.
So then Natalie Harp, Donald Trump's Natalie Harp, his human printer. She left with Donald
Trump carrying, some people suggested it was a gigantic diaper bag. Some people said it
was a big bag. In general, any event, there's Natalie Harp right there. Let me just show
you as Donald Trump was heading out to Dallas. Let me just share with you what the stadium
looked like.
Hat tip, Liz Landers.
We've got this footage, Republican midterm convention kicking off in Dallas. Here's what
it looked like. Let me just show you.
Should also be noted, we're getting some breaking news right now. That Grindr, the dating service
grinder as having problems is for real. Lots of use right now in Dallas. Here's another
view of the stadium. Lots of empty seats at the MAGAcon taking place. I'll show you what
it looked like as Donald Trump was arriving. Here he is repeatedly tapping his right thigh
as he slowly descends the steps upon arriving in Dallas. You can see for yourself.
So then we heard from MAGA Republican Congress member, Steve Scalise. His speech and his speech,
I'm not going to go into all the details here, but I'm going to go into all the details here.
I'm going to go into all the details here. And then we heard from MAGA Republican Congress
member, Steve Scalise, his speech and his speech.
His speech and his speech,
and his pitch to midterm voters is that if Democrats take control of the house, they're
going to impeach Donald Trump. And then you'll hear perhaps five to seven people in the stadium
boo at the concept of Donald Trump being impeached. Play this clip.
The Democrat Party has been completely taken over by crazy communists. I call it the Bolshevik
Revolution and the Democrat Party. And if they get back the gavel, it's going to be
hell.
If they get back the gavel, let me tell you what they will do. You know what they will
do. The first thing they'll do is impeach President Trump and his cabinet. They will
repeal. They've said they'll do this.
Then we heard from MAGA Republican Congress member, Tom Emers. And most of his speech
was yelling about communism, nothing to do with cost of living, healthcare, affordability,
housing.
I don't know. This is probably the stuff that you're going to hear. I don't know. I don't
know. This is probably the stuff that you're focused on. Nothing about the never ending
catastrophic war in Iran. It was him yelling and just his face was all red. And you'll
see over here him screaming about communism. Play this clip.
You've heard it already tonight. You'll hear it a lot more. This is a country worth fighting
for. We will not let the Marxist, communist and anarchist destroy it. We are going to
be that shining city on the hill for 340 million.
340 million patriotic Americans. We're going to show that the foundations of this country,
individual liberty, economic freedom, and hard work still matter. And we are going to
win in November. God bless you. God bless Donald J. Trump and God bless the United States
of America.
Speaker 1: That brings us to Ken Paxton.
Speaker 2: Ken Paxton, attorney general in Texas who is running for the Senate seat there
against James Tallarico. Ken Paxton's pitch to voters is nothing about what they're experiencing,
what they're going through, gas prices, none of that, because MAG has made things way worse.
For Paxton, he says, "James Tallarico is obsessed with transitions. He wants to transition your
children." This is right out of idiocracy, folks. This is what we're dealing with here.
Play this clip.
Speaker 1: And this guy is really obsessed with transitions. He wants to transition your kids.
He wants to transition Texas off of oil and gas.
Speaker 2: I never really thought that I'd get excited about laundry detergent, but laundry
sauce has completely changed laundry day for me. The first thing you notice is the smell. I love the Himalayan
cashmere. You pull your clothes out of the dryer and they smell like you just sprayed them with a high-end
fragrance, and the scent actually lasts. But it's not just about smelling good. They're ultra-concentrated
pods that use bioenzymes to fight tough stains and revitalize fabrics. So my clothes come out smelling,

And then Paxton says, "Let me be very clear. Tallarico said God is non-binary. God has a penis." Ken Paxton wants you all to know.
That's a big, important platform of MAGA Republicans is that God has a schlong, and they are going to repeat this.
Their schlong God is what they're talking about. While we all are dealing with real freaking issues,
people can't afford stuff, while people are sick, and every day it seems like there's another recall,
MAGA Republicans are paying tribute to their schlong God in Dallas, Texas.
Their big schlong God showing videos of Hasan Piker in his underwear and his genitals being blurred out
while Grindr is down, and that's what, uh, that's the MAGA Republican Party.
Here's what Ken Paxton says. Play this clip.
But that's exactly what James Tallarico would be.
You've heard this before. He calls himself a Christian who hates Christianity.
Said God is non-binary. I must have missed that verse in the Bible.
And of course, he claimed there were six genders, which is absolutely crazy.
Then we heard from Tim Scott all about their schlong God.
This is what, this is what he says.
Tallarico believes God is non-binary.
Jesus!
I kid, I kid you. If you're like, Ben, you're doing, why are you doing crazy?
Let's go.
literally what to do. Jesus said that God has a schlong. I get you. It's crazy. It's crazy humans.
Again, I think this is actually a scene from Idiocracy. Here, play this clip.
James Tallarico claims there are six genders.
He believes God is non-binary. He thinks God needs special woke pronouns.
But Texas, we know who God is. We're talking about Jesus. I said the King of Kings and the
Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. That's our God.
And then Tim Scott, MAGA Republican Senator from South Carolina,
concludes his speech by also screaming a bunch of weird shit. Here it goes.
Standing with our President Donald J. Trump. Stand for the President Donald J. Trump.
This is a battle for the heart of our nation. I said the heart of our nation.
Okay. MAGA Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina takes the stage. It appears that HUD Secretary
Turner, Scott Turner, slaps her butt. I mean, that's what it looked like, in my opinion. It
may be something else. It may just be what I see. Tell me what you see. Here it is. Play this clip.
Florida, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.
And so then Anna Paulina Luna, MAGA Republican Congresswoman, she's at this speech. And they
switch signs from the signs attacking Biden and Kamala Harris to signs saying, no more insider
trading. And then she starts to rail.
Okay.
About Nancy Pelosi.
Donald Trump traded 21,000 times. We did 21,000 stock trades and made literally hundreds of
millions of dollars inside trading, posting about the companies, and then buying and selling the
companies and creating the dips. MAGA Republicans, y'all are the worst. Can you just address the
issues that the American people are experiencing? No, they can't. But this is it. And it's Nancy.
I mean, I mean, I mean, it's crazy stuff here. Play this clip of Anna Paulina Luna.
And many others have increased their net worth exponentially since taking office by abusing access
to non-public information. Okay. Next, you have HUD Secretary Turner, who goes, diversity, equity,
inclusion is dead.
DEI is dead. HUD Secretary Turner is saying DEI is dead. Okay. President Trump did not come back to manage decline. President Trump has put an end to all of that. DEI is dead.
Biological truth, it's back.
Then you had MAGA Republican Congressmember Van Orden says that Donald Trump wants to enact
the great American health care plan. It's just two weeks away. Just wait. It's right around the,
after the election. Just as Trump said, after the election, gas prices, $2 a gallon. After the
election, the war is going to end. After the election, health care plan, just, just you,
just you.
Wait, crazy people. These are crazy people. These are demonic, crazy fricking humans. Huh? President Trump now wants to work with Congress to enact a great American health care plan to
further lower prescription drug costs, increase pricing transparency, and hold the insurance
companies accountable for the costs they've imposed on you. That's what the American people
deserve. And that's what we are delivering.
Back to MAGA Republican Tom Emmer. This is an election between American loving patriots and
extremists. These people are sick, he says. All right. All right. This is my job. I do the pep talk. We're just 55 days from election day,
so let's get right down to business. As you've heard, this is an election between common sense
and communism.
Between America loving patriots and hate America extremists, between freedom and tyranny. The
Communist Party, excuse me, the Democrats have no leader and they have no message. The only thing
they can agree on is their disgusting hatred of America and our great president.
These people are sick.
Y'all are doing the weirdest convention imaginable.
I just showed a lot of exhibits showing that y'all are incredibly sick people. Okay, let me,
this is, okay, just at the same time, state regime media Fox interviewed James Tallarico. Here's what
Tallarico said during the interview. This is who they say. This is what their vision is of a sick,
of a sick person.
After showing you all these people on stage obsessing over schlong gods and whatever and
Hassan Piker, whatever crazy shit they're talking about. Here's James Tallarico. Let's play it.
I support an amendment that would have given the power to make these decisions to local communities.
And just with the in-between comment, I know you're a preacher, so you know this. I don't have
to tell you, but Mark 10, six states, quote, from the beginning of creation, God made them male and
female. Clearly in the Bible, it doesn't speak to us. It doesn't speak to us. Why would you state that in between? Well, I think God is so much bigger than every human
category. Uh, God is, is bigger than any of our understandings. And it's important for us to
remember that when we're having these discussions, what is clear from scripture is that we are
commanded to love thy neighbor as thyself. And then MAGA Republican Congress member Van Orden
claims Democrats are rushing to take credit for the big, beautiful bill. The Democrats want credit
for it. No one, no one wants credit for your disastrous poison pill.
In the United States of America, that's destroyed so many lives, but go on here, play this clip.
It's shamefully, shamefully, not one Democrat voted for it.
So from Washington to Wisconsin, Democrats spent months demonizing the tax cuts we delivered.
And now that millions of dollars are returning back home to real communities,
they're rushing to take credit for one of the largest investments. No, no, no. You don't get
to do that, Hakeem. Then we heard from Congresswoman Della Cruz and she starts attacking
former president Biden. Let's play it. I know what a stack of bills looks like
on the kitchen table. And for four years, Joe Biden and his party made that stock
sack taller. Groceries went up 20 percent. Rent ate the whole paycheck.
HUD Secretary Turner starts attacking Biden and saying Biden waved the white flag of surrender.
Really, Biden waved the white flag. Like, do y'all realize, like, Trump is going around
as the Pied Piper of surrendering around the world, getting involved in catastrophic wars that we've
never been involved in and losing it? I'm going to do a deal. I'm Donald Trump. I'm going to do a deal, deal, deal, deal. Stupid
people. These are dumb, dumb people. And I think the American people get a whole, like, my little
dumb, dumb bunny thing. It's like, right, hopped a little bunny. These MAGA Republicans are like
just a bunch of idiots. I mean, these are just the dumbest, most vile people, right? I mean,
what I've showed you. Here, play this clip of HUD Secretary Turner. Let's play it.
Biden and American flag over a government building stopped meaning the same thing as it did in the
front yard here in Texas. For four years, that same American flag became a white flag of surrender,
an open invitation to far left activists and fraudsters who treated Washington as a blank
check. Biden's border disaster drove home prices up 30% and drove rent prices up 20%. Americans had
to compete with millions of illegal aliens for a roof over their head. And you weren't just competing
against H-1B workers for a job. You were also competing against them for a home for you and
your family. This was their montage of, uh, Hassan Piker. Let's play it. Very weird.
From Democrats in its own party. I am not going to be in the same party with Hassan.
MAGA Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Public service is not
on a pathway to private wealth.
that's literally what Donald Trump is doing, but go ahead. It's not public service. Let's play it.
Restore trust in Congress.
Public service is not a pathway to private wealth. It is a sacred trust.
And the American people overwhelmingly want Congress out of the stock market.
The American people elected a Republican Congress to fix Washington,
not to profit of it or to tolerate its corruption.
It's time we deliver this win for the American people and ban insider trading.
Then you have Tim Scott, MAGA Republican Senator, railing about Ossoff and Sherrod Brown.
And he's like, boom, boom. I got to turn my attention.
Georgia, because John Ossoff wants to let boys play girls in sports.
And then let's go to Ohio with Sherrod Brown.
He, that's right, boom.
He enabled Biden's open border crisis.
We're not going back to the days of Joe Biden and Sherrod Brown.
This is what he has to say.
About Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan.
Dr. El-Sayed, let's play it.
And when it comes to the American dream, he prefers the Canadian dream.
But worst of all, Abdul El-Sayed panders with terrorists.
He panders terrorists.
In South Carolina, we call that hogwash.
In Texas, you get another name for it.
It's horse crap.
Yes.
And then here's what J.B. Pritzker had to say.
Democratic governor.
Here's how he's trying to make sense of what I just shared with you.
Let's play it.
This is the president who ran in 2024 and told you that on day one, he was going to lower prices.
He was going to end forever wars.
And what do you know?
He's done neither.
In fact, he's done the opposite.
Prices have gone up since he took office.
And, of course, we're in this endless war.
In Iran, he can't stop it.
Does not know what he's doing.
And after complaining about Joe Biden's age, he himself, President Trump, that is, is suffering from dementia.
And I think we can all see that.
So I think that that's what I would say about whatever he's promising for the future.
You know, he never delivers.
There you have it, everybody.
Let me know what you think.

Let's get to seven million subscribers.
