WTF Did He Just Say...? Trump Hits Rock Bottom as GOP Admits This
47m 24s
The transcript offers a sharp, critical examination of current political figures, particularly Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, through the lens of moral, social, and political hypocrisy. Trump’s repeated comments about the physical appearance of political figures—like John Huston’s body—are portrayed not as casual banter but as symptoms of a deeper mental and ethical decline, suggesting a loss of inhibitions and a pattern of inappropriate, obsessive behavior. The speaker links this to broader political failures, especially the Republican Party’s denial of child sexual abuse, including the controversial ad by Vivek Ramaswamy that features Amy Atkins, a survivor of childhood abuse. This is framed as a profound moral failing, exposing the party’s complicity in pedophilic culture and performative values. The analysis also critiques the hypocrisy of "performative" patriotism and Christianity, where leaders claim to value families and children while ignoring real-world abuse, gun violence, and systemic racism. The discussion extends to racial politics, highlighting the marginalization of Black voters and the complex tensions between Black and Arab communities. The speaker argues that Democrats now have a powerful opportunity to confront these issues directly, citing strong polling numbers and a growing public demand for accountability. Ultimately, the piece calls for a unified, truthful political stance—one that rejects denial, upholds human rights, and demands justice for victims, especially children and marginalized communities. The tone is urgent, passionate, and deeply critical of political hypocrisy, with a clear call to action for voters to support leaders who prioritize truth and equity over image and performance.
because there are so many great case present company included and at the top of the list. That would have risen to the occasion. And instead we get this old bitter queen just washed up a bad makeup. You can't even hire a makeup artist just absolutely a train rack of perfect proportions. Did you say blow and risen in the same story? It is time. It is time now for the weekend read. Watch us lemonade. Hello. Hello, darling. We appreciate Don did come to studio today because he's sick. I know I was going to say, can I tell you, can we tell the audience why? Because I sound like this. Yes, it's bad. It's a, this transition, whatever it is, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad. So I hope you're okay. I hope you're okay. I'd probably need some lemon, like you need some lemon, young lady. But can we talk about this? It seems like every time we talk, there's some weird Republican mega gay story. Watch this. This is Donald Trump out on the campaign trail. Again, we talked about this last week, but he went at it again. This is him talking about John Huston's ass. He's over here. I'm over here. And I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. Nothing, I always preceded by saying nothing wrong, but it's never been my thing to be honest with you. But I looked at his ass and then I looked at his legs and it might, I said his ass, it's like, it's like a pile of muscle. Then I looked at his legs and I said, man, his feet are big. Then I looked at his shoulders and I tapped them on their shoulder. And it actually hurt my hand. It was like a piece of steel. Now somebody is in love and horny. Oh my God, but he didn't even mention the legs last time. I looked at his legs and I'm like, hmm, then I looked at his feet. There he is. There he is. There's Trump's, Trump's big obsession lately. I mean, he's moved over ballroom, called my beer ballroom. I thought you were talking about something else in that picture. So what is, what's going, I seriously want to know what's going on. Is he trolling people? Or is he doing it because something's going on in his frontal lobe or something? And he just doesn't have control of what comes out of his mouth. And so now he doesn't have to keep it. He can't keep it a secret. He's like, oh my God, look at that guy's ass. This is his deathbed confession era and doctors that study dementia that are experts on and say that inhibitions fall and things that you've had built up inside start to come out. And this is, for those of us that started sounding the alarms of gay, dark pings around the time he mentioned Arnold Palmer's penis a few times. We all knew like, hmm, this doesn't seem really straight, but whatever. And you keep going along with it. I think that this is really a travesty because the first gay president could have just been so much better. I mean, this is just such a devastating blow for the LGBTQ plus community because there are so many great guys, present company included and at the top of the list that would have risen to the occasion. You can't even hire a makeup artist. Just absolutely a train rack of epic proportions. Yes, puns intended. Maybe it's my cold medicine. I was like, blow, ooh, that's next for him. I think, you know, that's that. Oh, Jen, and remember earlier this week, I sent you the thing of him kissing Melania at that signing ceremony. That little like, and then pat was at a pat on the head. I was like, it was weird. Yeah, he's like, good job. Good job, darling. Yeah, you texted that to me. But you know what the kiss reminded me of Kylie get this ready. He reminded me very much of Senator Josh Holly kissing his wife. So one could completely just make a hypothetical here. And I'm not mentioning names when closeted men are forced to kiss their wives in a heterosexual setting. There seems to be a pattern of consistency. And Kylie, if you can pull up Trump and Melania, look at that. Look at those lips. So now look at Melania's there's Melania while you're looking at that. Guys, look at the similarities in these, these two kisses. It's not real. I think you said something like, um, you're more affectionate towards me than that. That's exactly what I said. You sent it to me and I said, oh my God, you're more affectionate towards me. Don's more like, oh my God, you look so pretty today, Jennifer. Oh, you're hot today. And he's a lot more like affectionate towards me than Donald Trump is to his own wife and your gay man. But you're always like, you look at sexy today, girl. Let's go. Yeah. I'm like, the hair is herring. The lips are lip in the yellow, good. I love the fit. He's not gonna be that he's just like. Good job. Good job. Hey, if you've seen John's ass, Melania, Jen, this one is, uh, really got me because I think it's the lowest of the low. I'm wondering how low Republicans, MAGA can go this election season and beyond because you know what happened with Amy active, right? You know, I am. Uh, Vivek Ramaswamy is someone from his team put out this ad from with her, uh, her mother in it. Now Amy Atkins is a victim of childhood sexual abuse. And her mom for some reason stayed with the man. And the reason that Amy Atkins said she spoke out about it is because, um, she wanted to protect her brother, right? And so the mom is in a campaign that that Vivek Ramaswamy and his team put out. And now the brother is responding to it. Watch. I received a lot of abuse, but Amy always got the worst of it. She continued to receive that abuse because she knew she had to protect me from, from that. And that if she hadn't done that, um, who knows where I would have ended up. And she's 11 and 12 years old. And to think that that's somehow a talking point, shame on Vivek. It's the contempt he has for Amy is the contempt he has for Ohio. He's not fit to lead. And he's not wrong. This one, this one really got me because I thought about, you know, people often are in denial about, um, sexual abuse or if someone is molesting a child and it's your partner, uh, many times women or men don't want to admit that it happens. Um, but this is a child of what, what does she have to lie about? And the brother is now corroborating her story. I just think that the lowest, I think Vivek is the lowest of the low. And yesterday when I found, when I heard the story, I called him a piece of shit on my show because he can stop this, he can say pull that ad. And the fact that he's not, well, he's saying, he didn't say anything at first, uh, but then he said, these are the kind of conversations we should have as a bullshit like that. I just think he's just, I think it's disgusting and I do think it's just qualifying. It absolutely is, but this is who the Republican party is. They are the party of pedophiles and pedophile protectors. He got this idea, I assume from Donald Trump and all of the people in the White House that claim that they are these good Christian people that value children and value families that are covering up, uh, the rape and sexual assault and abuse of little girls, they don't care about it. And so Vivek Ramaswamy is with his people in this ad. This is who the Republican party is. And Don, I just think we as Democrats and in our spaces, we can just simply say because it's very simple. If I'm, if I'm talking to a MAGA person, I can look at them and say, Oh, I oppose pedophilia. Because they clearly, if you're still a Trump supporter and you're still supporting this regime, and you're supporting this government and you're supporting the candidates that are running out there. All of these people are, uh, uh, exploiters of children, exploiters of the abuse that children suffer and they support this stuff. This is Vivek Ramaswamy is an absolute piece of shit. You're 100% right of the highest order. And I call, look, you're right. He is and I think I said yesterday, um, fuck you, you're a piece of shit. And because I don't like saying that about people, but he truly is. And I, but here's what I believe, Jen, um, I believe just like I think the mom is in denial about it, right? Not, you know, no man who is attracted to her or she could love, could ever molest a child. And that's the problem is that people are in denial about these things. They don't realize this Uncle Bob or, you know, cousin Jim or whatever, or the person you are, or stepdad. Tom or it could be the same, it could be the dad Joe. It could be anybody. And so they're in denial about it. But I think that what you just said about the Republican party and about them condoning, you know, pedophiles. Um, I think they're in denial as well. Because no matter how much evidence comes out about Donald Trump, no matter how many times, thousands and thousands and thousands of times that he's mentioned in the Epstein files, they still don't believe it. So I think they're in, I think it's some sort of psychosis. They're in denial. In denial, but I almost think that let's.
them off the hook too much. They all heard from these victims. - It's willful denial. - Yeah, willful denial. Yeah, I'll give you that. But these victims speak out the end of the day, whether it's denial, willful, denial. They also don't care. They don't, it means nothing to them that kids get sexually abused. That doesn't mean anything to them. It doesn't mean anything to Donald Trump. The Republican Party used this whole platform of worse, so pro family value and we're pro kids. And it's an utter bullshit. They never promote anything that promotes family. Ever. Just like they say, we support the troops. They support the war and the military and industrial complex making billions of dollars. They never vote for the guy that comes back. And I mean, and most one third of the homeless population are veterans. What do they say on Fox? Euthanize them all. I mean, these people don't care about life. Yeah, I call it a performative patriotism when you talked about the troops because I think this is patriotism standing there. Oh, say, can you see, that's not what patriotism is. Patriotism is allowing Colin Kaepernick to be able to criticize his country and his government, right? That's what the Constitution is about. I think I also call them performative Christians because they say one thing, like we care about children, we care about this, whatever. But you don't care about children. Donald Trump is blowing up a school full of kids. You don't care about children when there's a school shooting and we need to get a handle on guns in this country, on gun violence. And so performative Christianity, performative patriotism. And I think it's performative conservatism as well. Because look at what they're, they're the ones who want to censor the small government people. Once it is OK with Donald Trump censoring the press. So I just think it's a bunch of bullshit. I completely agree with you. But I also think that right now, the Democrats, and all of us that have always known their hypocrites, have never been in a better position. Because other Republicans use these things, but they were socially polite. George W. Bush was a huge homophobe. And Dick Cheney put that anti-marriage amendment Karl Rove did on all of those ballots to bring out the evangelicals to vote, but they did were compassionate conservatives, or Bush conservatives, or were compassionate conservatives. They're more polite about it. But we all knew deep down how they genuinely felt about the gaze off to hell you go, burn forever, no rights for you. So now the mask is off. And now we can truly say definitively, these people are pieces of shit that don't care about your children. And when you vote for them, by proxy, you're voting against your own children in their lives as well. And you're voting against yourself, right? You're voting against yourself. When you say that Democrats have never been in a better position, there is evidence to that point, because this is the latest political poll. This is, I think this is polypolling or something, numbers. The generic ballots is that Democrats have 54% plus two and Republicans have 42% going into the midterms. And then if you studied, go deeper in there, there's a generic ballot as well. That gives it a dim, dims a plus 7.9, almost an eight-point plus going into the midterm elections. I hope those numbers are real, Jen. I really do. Me too. I feel it. I feel it. But I also am in a space and surrounded by people who are very like-minded. So I get into this safe sense of, oh, I've got it going on. I'm so glad you're saying this. I'll never forget a year ago, about a year ago, two years ago, in October of 2024. I met you at a recording studio in New York. You had been traveling the country doing your man on the street. And I was like, comma, it's going to win. I'm so excited. And you grabbed my hands. And you looked at me and you said, Jennifer, she's not going to win. Trump is going to win. I hate to tell you that. But I'm out in middle America. I'm doing all this man on the street and stuff the energy surrounding him, he's going to win. And I remember exactly how I felt because the good liar's guys had told me the same thing. And they're out like you all. And outside of their bubble, outside of their silo. And so I feel it. But we must go vote with all the PTSD in the world that when we woke up in '16, and when we woke up on the morning after Trump beat Kamla in '24, we have to wake up every morning, vote, talk to our friends about voting. I was just talking to Kylie about voting because she just moved from Oklahoma to New York and I said, Kylie, what's your plan to vote? Making sure that the people that I know that everybody is going to vote. And by the way, I'm really excited. I'm voting in New York this year. And for the first time in my life, I'm going to vote for people that are going to win. Because in Oklahoma, I always voted for Democrats. And they always lie. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm going to go vote for Kathy Hoekle. And she's going to win. The people I'm going to vote for, for House of Representatives are going to win. I'm going to vote for winners for the first time in my adult life. As you know, Kathy Hoekle is-- she's on a ticket with a black woman. This will be like a female ticket. It'll be a black woman as the governor. And it'll be-- white woman as a governor and a black woman as a lieutenant governor. That's pretty exciting, I think, here. I love it. We got Zora. We got Kathy. We're going to have a black lieutenant governor. I like it. I want DEI. I want all of it. I love it. I'm so glad you're saying what you're saying. Because I think that folks should be, as I said, during 2024, cautiously optimistic. However, I'm hearing from-- I'm getting reports from my sources and folks who are in these battlegrounds, say it's like Florida and Michigan, especially Michigan. That El Saeed needs to sort of drum up more black support, garter more black support. And he needs to campaign in Wayne County, Detroit, and instead of going to colleges or whatever, because those folks love it and they're always-- they're going to vote for him. But look, I hope the reports coming from there are wrong. Because I think he has good ideas. I think he's a brilliant man. And I think this administration has been so racist towards him. So there's so much Islamophobia going on. And so I think that this would be the best thing for Michigan if El Saeed won. But I think they need-- he needs to go to the tried and true. You can't expect black people to vote for you just because you're a Democrat anymore. I want us to talk about this. Because I think this is a really helpful conversation. The two of us can have. So I'm a white woman, and I want to vote for everybody in the electorate, right? But I don't know what it means to be black. I don't know how the government has failed personally. Failed the black population. I think I might have my idea of it, but that would be pretty arrogant of me. And I hear oftentimes Trump ran this. He said, the Democrats take advantage of the black vote. They never deliver for you. And I see this a lot online. That a lot of black voters feel like they are taking advantage of. And during the campaigns they go and they campaign amongst black voters, and then after that they forget the black community. Speak to me and to our white listeners about what the black vote, what that is, what issues are important to the black vote and how white Democrats can help be better allies in this. And really bring some unity to this to where the black and the white vote. White people are more aligned with helping politicians be more accountable to the black portion of the electorate. Well, that's going to be a lot of work. Because there are two things, if we can just be specific about this particular race. Again, I am rooting for al-Sahid in this race. All right, because I think it's better. He's better for democracy. There are tensions between the black and Arab communities that go back for a while. And then it's just to read, this is from the Guardian. Tensions between Arab American and black communities in the US stem from a mix of political divergence and economic dynamics and anti-black prejudice. This friction is visible in areas like metro Detroit, which is what I'm talking about. Where majority Arab, dearborn and majority black Detroit neighbor one, neighbor one another. And it is heightened by contrasting electoral choices for policy views and historical neighborhood interactions. So it's the same thing. It's a similar thing that blacks sort of get treated or at the bottom of the totem pole. You're in a black neighborhood and then Chinese family comes in and they open up a deli or a store and you can't get the loan because you're a black person. There's a lot of historic things that go on with that. So al-Sahid has, he's got a really-- he's got a tightrope to walk because not only is he dealing with that, he's also dealing with the Arab Israeli or Jewish community there as well. And so I'm not saying that he can't win these people over because I went to one of his rallies to watch. And there were Jews for-- I mean, just filled with Jews for--
for LSAE or Jew, for Abdul, so I think that we have to have a very serious conversation about what is real, about the anti-black racism that comes from the Arab communities, about the anti-black racism that Byron Donnell is finding out in Texas with Latino voters. And so, I think we need to have real conversations about that and not deny that it's not happening or that we can ignore it or, you know, what they're asking for too much. If you are in Detroit or Philadelphia or Georgia or Pennsylvania, I should say, all the cities. If you're in Philadelphia, which is Pennsylvania, if you're in Georgia, which is Atlanta's the biggest city there, you cannot win without Black vote. You have to run up the tallies on those votes in Atlanta, in Philadelphia, in Detroit. You got to run it up. You're going to lose because there aren't enough people who support you out in the red zones where everybody else is. They're all supporting the Trump people. But I think we just, I mean, I think that we're going to have to be in a room or at least in the same community with each other without cascading each other and calling each other accountable, but calling people names, similarly to what they say, look, I may not like Marjorie Taylor, I may not like Marjorie Taylor Green, but it's as long as she's voting on the right side that I'm cool. There's going to have to be some of that, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be accountability. Yeah, yeah, I've been reading this, I like, I like you, I like Abdul, a lot. I think he is a generational talent. I think he, I think he is uncompromising in his stances, but I do acknowledge that oftentimes it seems like the needs of Black voters and of the Black community are often at the bottom of the list. We talk about, oh, there's a rise in anti-Semitism, there's a rise in Islamophobia, there's a rise in this, there's a rise in that. Oh, my God, Americans got killed in the street, two white people got killed in Minnesota. Then you go and listen to the Black community and they're like, we've been trying to tell you guys this for a long, long, long, long time. The Jewish community has had reparations paid to them, which I support. And the Jewish section of the diaspora that lives in the United States have flourished here, which I support, but where have we made these type of reparations and these opportunities and these safety, safe spaces for Black people? And so I do feel like as an observer, as a white woman, that the needs of other minorities or other ethnic groups are always catapulted above Black people and the Democratic Party is guilty of at times. There are certain candidates, for sure, and I don't know that Abdul is, I've had him on my show twice and I believe he very much believes in universal human rights. But it seems like the Black needs and it seems like the Black community's neglected a lot unless it's selection season and I've just observed that and it just seems like everybody else can have reparations, everybody else can have an opportunity to flourish. Everybody else can talk about, there's been a rise in big a tree against us. The cockdam voting rights act was dismantled in the Supreme Court. If any minority want a right to bitch right now, everybody needs to sit down and shut up and go support the Black community because guess what they do? They support every other group and civil rights and help carry them over the bridge. So I just think it's an important conversation to have and I get tired of my fellow white people being very dismissive about the Black electorate, Black communities and they've been complaining justifiably about all of the terrible things that happen in their communities at the hand of the government and oftentimes people don't listen unless it's election season. I think that people forget that the civil rights movement was fought not just for Black people, it was fought for all people who want human rights, who want civil rights and that includes women, right? That includes gays, that includes Arabs, that includes Indian Americans and if we can get back to Vivek for a moment, I had broken the show this week but many oftentimes and Rokhan says this as well, something similar to this, people forget that when Indian Americans or other brown people came over here, the only people who would support them were Black people. They would get jobs at HBCUs, if you look at Connell into an HBCU, then Nikki Haley's father got a job at an HBCU and I think there's something similar with Vivek and so I asked Rokhan and I said his Vivek forgotten he's brown and he said basically he said yes he has forgotten it and so I think that people like that forget where they came from, now he may have forgotten that he's brown and that he's Hindu but the people voting for him or who would vote for him, who would vote for him and the Maga Party have not forgotten and neither has Anne Colter as a reminder, remember this back in 24? We are so bright and articulate and I guess I can call you articulate since you're not an American black, can't say that about them, that's derogatory and that was a great opening segment, lots of things to talk about there. Oh and I agreed with many, many things you said during, in fact, probably more than most other candidates when you were running for president but I still would not have voted for you because you're an Indian, we'll get back to that. There it is, there it is and so that's why we're here right now, people keep forgetting like Vivek, they keep forgetting, they want to cozy up to power and they want to cozy up to whiteness and what does that mean, that means you have to run as far away from black people as you can. She was all, he was all chummy and trickling when she threw out the racism about black people and not calling them articulate. He thought that was just a real knee slapper, didn't he? He was like oh yeah, I'm really, really paling around with the white gal, I'm one of the whites and then she goes in for the fucking kill to the juggler, I will not vote for you because you're an Indian and I think about this all the time. I think about what's his name, Kashpatel, I think about him, I think about Scott Bessent, the little demon queen running around at the treasury. I think about these people because I know as a woman, I know what magas intentions are for me, even though I'm white. I know that I'm on the chopping block, I'm further down, you know, the football field to get KO'd but I know they're coming for it. So it's just amazing to me how universally unique Vivek Romaswamy and Kashpatel and Scott Bessent think they are but I would just remind all of these people of the Mike Pence rule, Mike Pence, white, Christian, Republican, did everything he was supposed to do, everything except for certify the election. He wouldn't break that law and Maga was going to kill him and Trump was all for it. So I mean if Mike Pence isn't safe, I mean he calls his wife mother for facts sake, you know, it's not, I mean, I wonder if he gives her little pecs like that 100 percent. There's no question, so does little Moses Mike, he's kissing his wife just like that, which by the way, Kylie gets a little gay darping from the wife of Moses Mike. Oh, for real, for real. Span pain. Yeah, Kylie, yeah, Kylie does and what does her gay, gay dar go off her pants because he's so like, we need a reparative therapy. Yeah, for sure, Mike Pence, yeah, yeah, the way, yeah, we're speaking of the gays and tokens, we just talked about Vivek. And we're speaking of that, Maga's token gay isn't some hot water. Have you heard this Rick Grinnell story? Jen, I was so delicious. He said Rick Grinnell is a top Trump advisor. He was, was he Greece last time, he was the ambassador to Greece, right, before Kimberl Gilford in the first, in the first administration. And so now he is a Trump advisor now. He allegedly outlined this stunning, this, according to Axios, a stunning pay for influence offer to a Turkish billionaire last year for access to President Donald Trump VIP events and administration officials, according to a, to a text message received by Axios at the White House Council is investigating. So here's, this is what it said. I think it's important to put this up there because if people wonder, oh, they're reading too much into this. Once the money comes to the company here, I will arrange a donation to Kennedy Center and you'll be joining the VIP events and get close with the administration, even with POTUS, that was from a May 3rd, 2025 text message. And then Grinnell has called the accusations lies and denied sending.
the text message. So just like Kimberly Gilfoil, that Kimberly Gilfoil said that she didn't send the text messages for her American Express. Rick Grinnell is now denying that he sent a text message that basically incriminates him. I have a great idea for all of the Welch's lemonade heads. So Trump just started this new whistleblower. Fraud whistleblower complaint. You get 1%. So we can just start with that right there. We can report this. Can you believe that? You believe it whistleblowers. I mean, it's just like all you have to do is open up any newspaper and you can read about the corruption. But you know, these people don't. These people are so corrupt. Everything is a shake down. And can you imagine having money and you're trying to get access? If you were so rich, would you pay money to get access to that old queen, Trump? Is that what you would do? I mean, at least try to gain access to somebody cool or attractive. Yeah. But for what though, if you're already rich, why do you want? Why would you care? I guess they want to be near power. I don't know. I don't know. It's so I'm like, that's how you that's how you would choose to spend your money to it. To him, like, I will never understand the magnetism towards him. There's no question. He has it because I've seen the rallies. We're 10 plus years with this shit. But I just don't understand it. I don't and I do. Here's the thing though, Jen, that I've always said that I've noticed observed in my older age, I'm a man of a certain age. Rich people have money, but the one thing they don't have is fame. And also being rich doesn't give you a pro, necessarily proximity to power or a famous person. So Donald Trump was rich, right? That's what he said. He was since the 80s and 90s. He said he was rich. But the one thing he wanted more than anything, he wanted to be rich, but he wanted to be famous. And he wanted to hang out with celebrities and athletes and all of that. And it's the same thing, even with the tech bros or any of these nerdy tech bros or billionaires, you see hanging out with heads of media companies or hanging out and you see Elon at the White House. Elon is a very rich man, but he wants to be famous. And so I think it's the same thing with the people who are giving him money just so that they can get close to it because they too want to hang out at Mar-a-Laga. Mar-a-Laga. They too want to perhaps have a night in the Lincoln bedroom or sit at the dining table at the White House. That's what that's all about. I mean, it just shows you how empty. How cool is it is? Yeah, just how empty that is, that you could have all of this wealth and be so poor. You could have all of the, you know, a big bank account, but you're just so hollow. And it's just such a vapid pursuit to try to get close to that guy and to those people. I mean, it would be, now, I would very clandestinely. If we had a few drag queens come over and put you and I in total incognito, okay? And they make us into this like European power couple, right? But we're not recognized. We're decked to the nines. And we got invited to go to Mar-a-Laga and sit and observe. I would take for one for the team and be miced up and twirl around and check it all out. Now, that would be in being invested, you know, investigating in my spare time when I go like and enjoy these people, never. But I am kind of fascinated by the, you know, how the Maga people are always talking about furries. Yeah. Do you remember when they had the furries at the White at Mar-a-Laga? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So all the shit that they talk about and they've also had like three or four trans people at Mar-a-Laga that are partying, you know, with Caitlin Jenner and then a couple of others, which I don't have a thing against trans people. I want them to be able to do whatever they want to do. But then I'm just curious like at Mar-a-Laga, what bathroom were they allowed to use? Does all of that bullshit just end once they enter there? You can be a furry. You can be trans. You can use whatever bathroom you want. You can use your pronouns. And then when you leave, then it's, you know, it's just, it's just such hypocrisy. And the fact that these people actually believe that Donald Trump is some family values Christian man is just, it's such an admission to their own stupidity. I don't know what to do with these people. Like, I don't know what to do with Susan Collins. Susan Collins is, when you're talking about wanting to be close to proximity to power, sucking up to someone or sucking up to Donald Trump, she is out here, Jen, blaming this economy on Joe Biden. Watch this. We've talked to mainers who blame the president for the state of the economy. Do you blame the president for the state of the economy? So there are lots of reasons why people are struggling, the Biden administration actually had to fire inflation. Look at, Iliku, she's with. Put that back up. Look who she's standing with. Senator Joe Manchin. Yeah, well, the gangs back together. They're all back together. Joe Biden, you know, do you know inflation is up? We got the raw inflation. We got the two different, there were two different inflation numbers that we got. And inflation is up. First of all, Susan Collins, know what you're talking about. And second of all, the reason that there was such inflation under Joe Biden is because he was trying to pull us out of Donald Trump's terrible COVID economy. Remember Donald Trump threw away the damn playbook that Barack Obama had for epidemics in pandemics and said, we don't need it. And then he lied and said, oh, it's like the flu. It's going to go away. It is not a big deal. The meantime, he's scrambling in the background. Yeah, to come up with a vaccine, right? But then he's telling people to use bleach. That's the reason the economy tank is because of Donald Trump. And then you're blaming it on Joe Biden. I mean, please can Troy Jackson, please win in Maine. Can he please just win? I'm sick of Susan Collins being terribly, awfully concerned. Susan Collins is a terrorist. She terrorizes everybody in this country. Okay. I'm saying this not Don Limon for those of you that are watching to clip it up. Let me tell you exactly why Susan Collins is a terrorist. Yes. Susan Collins voted for Brett Kavanaugh, who was a credibly accused of sexual assault. Now we know the FBI even covered up. Tons more allegations that were brought to the FBI thousands actually. She voted for him. And everybody knew that if the conservative has got a majority that they were going to KO Roe v. Wade. And Susan likes to say, oh, I'm a moderate. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a moderate manor, which is absolute bullshit. So Susan Collins, the reason that she's a terrorist because when she voted to put Kavanaugh and alleged sexual abuser, sexual assault her on the court, she cemented the deaths of women in Texas and Oklahoma and Georgia and other states that have an abortion ban. And how do we know that these deaths are so bad? As Texas said, we're not releasing these numbers until after the midterms. They are holding on to the, to the deaths of pregnant women in that state. They were unable to access health care. And that is terror. That is an act of terror. And Susan Collins is an absolute terrorist. And she has blood all over her for her vote for Kavanaugh. So many women are dead. Young women are dead because of her. And Susan Collins values the rights of rapists and clearly values the rights of pedophiles over that of women and young girls. And so therefore this will conclude my TED talk. But just in case anybody needs for me to be clear, Senator Susan Collins is a domestic terrorist whose policies have killed people for sports. So Susan Collins can go fuck herself. And that will conclude my TED talk. Thank you very much, Jennifer Welch. No, Jen, I'm going to do a lightning round here because I want to get these two things in. Well, first of all, if I'm doing a lightning round, I just want to show this. You can just pop this up, Kylie. Everyone, Susan Collins wants to be close to power. Everyone else. This Eric Pratt bill is, I think, is really smart. I don't I'm sure I don't agree with this policy. He says the Republican running for Eric Pratt is the Republican running for Angie Craig's open seat in Missouri. Oh, too. He left the AI restating left. Okay, I guess whatever. The AI restating his prompt on his website. The president is not popular. So all messaging should be focused on local politics in these. So I guess he was on his AI trying to figure something out. And then he left the prompt in there. But at least he's got the right thing. Lightning round. What do you think of that one? I love it. I hope that I hope that Donald Trump sees it. I think that the president is not popular. That's that's what your base says about you. They might say one thing to you at Mar-a-Lago, but behind your bags, they all say you're not popular. This next one is from the DEI spokespeople. Oh, my gosh. This is not spokespeople, but anti-dei spokes person. The Trump administration and JD Vance being one of them. Now, you remember Katie Zachariah? I mean, you may recall her for sure for all of two minutes. Okay. So he is blaming her failures on
not her, not the administration, but as they always do, the press. Roll it. What's the lesson or lessons from what happened with Katie Zakaria? Takariah. What's the lesson, though, for, perhaps, why did you do a sweet person, an amazing person, and a real talent? I mean, I guess one lesson is that. That's interesting. I think one lesson is that you've got to. How am I going to how am I going to realize when the media makes it so hard for a person to do their job? You've got to set them up for success. Don, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Katie Zakaria did a 15-minute press conference and asked three, 14-minute, thank you for correcting me, 14-minute press conference, and asked answered three questions from three very safe publications. One Fox News, one Newsmax, and one Daily Mail, I believe, all right-wing rags. They sabotaged her. The right-wing media sabotaged her. Yeah, the media sabotaged her when she walked out and was looking for some papers. She walked out with her papers saying, "Hi. Thank you. I am excited to be here." How is that the media fault these people out of their minds? First of all, he should be blaming Donald Trump and his administration, including him, because he's part of it, for not vetting her, for allowing him to say, "Oh, she's cute. She's pretty. She's on the TV. I've seen her on the Newsmax," or whatever it is, and not admitting that this your Aryan dream, right? This blonde, blue-haired no offense, Jen. This blonde hair, blue eye makeup, laden, eyelashes, whatever, lady that looks like a Fox News anchor, that she's just not qualified. She's terrible. It's so hard for them to admit that. Yeah, but here's something really fascinating. JD Vance, I'm not sorry, Pete Hackset doesn't sound that much better than she does. It just shows you how much more forgiveness they give to men, to dumb men, than they do to dumb women. She sounds just like all of the other people in his cabinet. Who's that Brooke Rollins, the Secretary of Agriculture? Have you heard her in a press? She's like, "Well, if you can't afford eggs, maybe go get you some chickens." You can get some chickens in your yard and get your own eggs that way, which is definitely a box of hot rocks. It's not like everybody in the manga regime is so bright and this dipshit rolled up. It was just that she was a lady and it was so bad. Did you read the part where they said that Susie Wiles kind of ordered the kill on her and what the kill was is sending her to Hannity to face plant, and they tell Hannity, like, do her in. Yeah, that it was a setup. I heard Dan Abrams say that, who has sources inside the White House. He believes that it was a setup because for Sean Hannity, he went hard, but I think the people in the morning show after him were even, they were harder. I mean, if that's possible, at least they had follow-up questions. Sean kind of answered the questions for her and she's so, I hate to say dumb, but she's so dumb. She is dumb. You can say it. I'll say it. You can't even figure it out. You can't answer that question. The question is so easy to answer, especially the one about Ukraine that she've loved. It's just an easy question to answer. But she's out. I saw on TMZ jogging and she's still around. She'll be all right. She's a cute white girl. It's true. Okay, so one more. So Jamie West goes on Pierce Morgan after you and I laughed. I had not seen that video and you had me cracking up. By the way, did you see our social media posts on her? I got like a million or more views. Yeah. Did you see that crazy? Anyway, so she went on Pierce Morgan and she admits she had three cores, beers, before the interview. When you say man, I had three beers. Okay, so do you accept you may have been a little intoxicated? Not that intoxicated, but I do know what I'm talking about. Have you had any beers before this interview? No. You're completely sober. Yep. Okay. Well, you said some very inflammatory things about Republicans. You wanted to fire them all. You called them racist and dumb and said we have guns too. Is there anything you said whilst under the influence of your beers that you know with the benefit of hindsight? Maybe wish you hadn't said. No. I said all the time. I love her. I love her with them. I don't like them. They voted for all of this that's happening into our country. Are we have a constitutional crisis? We have an illegal war going on. I mean, my next door neighbor who just graduated high school, just finished the crucible for the Marines. And now I'm afraid he's going to go into this illegal war and die. I mean, I have every right to be angry instead of every American. I love her. Oh my gosh, we both. I love her and people tried to criticize her saying, oh, she's drinking through that. I was like, I don't care if she's drinking. I don't care if she's drinking. She's so I don't care if she's either it's hard to go through all this shit sober. We're getting abused every day by this guy. I hope she wins. I hope she wins. I love it. We need to have first guest idea for Welch's lemonade. You want to do it? Our first guest. We got to do it Kylie. You guys get her. We got to get her and maybe can we I'll have a beer. You can have a non-alcoholic beer. Yeah, I'll have a virgin Welch's lemonade. You'll have a real Welch's lemonade with vodka and then we'll get her Welch's lemonade. And if she wins, like it's just going to be a big rager. Oh, well, I'm so happy. I work on that and I'm happy we got to spend this time together. Every every Friday at this time on the same same bat channel, same bat station or something like that. Is that what it is? That's right. And you feel better, Dawn. Get better. Thank you for powering through because when I was I went to the Freedom from Religion Foundation conference last week and every it was Friday and everybody said, I can't wait to go back to my room to watch Welch's lemonade. And so thank you for being ill, but powering through so that people can have the weekend read Welch's lemonade production on the weekend. And we hope you feel better next week. Thank you. I would be in the studio with you, but I don't want to give it. I was I told my team, I was like, tell Jenna power through and come over. But then they're like, nope, she said do it remotely. I'm leaving down tomorrow. And I was like, I don't want if he's sick, I don't want his cuties. Can you tell Dawn to stay at home? I love you. Everybody have a great weekend and Jen, you have a great weekend too. You too love you back.
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Donald Trump’s recent public comments about John Huston’s body, including his legs and feet, are seen as revealing a disturbing lack of control and a pattern of inappropriate, obsessive focus that raises concerns about his mental state and potential hypocrisy.
The speaker draws parallels between Trump’s behavior and past political figures, arguing that his remarks reflect a broader pattern of willful denial and performative values—especially regarding child abuse, LGBTQ+ rights, and family values—contradicting his public image.
The ad by Vivek Ramaswamy featuring Amy Atkins, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, is condemned as morally reprehensible and politically dangerous, with the speaker accusing the Republican party of being complicit in pedophilia and child exploitation.
The discussion highlights systemic denial among Republicans, where claims of being pro-family or pro-children are contrasted with actions that ignore or downplay abuse, especially in cases involving political figures and their families.
The speaker calls out performative patriotism and Christianity, arguing that Republican leaders use these ideals to mask their indifference to real social harms like gun violence, child abuse, and racial injustice.
There is a growing emphasis on the need for Democrats to speak out clearly and unapologetically against these values, especially as polling shows a strong lead in the midterms.
The conversation addresses racial and political dynamics, including the marginalization of Black voters and the historical and ongoing tensions between Black and Arab communities, especially in cities like Detroit.
The analysis concludes with a critique of political hypocrisy, citing figures like Rick Grinnell and Susan Collins as examples of corruption and moral failure, and calls for accountability in the face of systemic abuse and denial.
Summary:
The transcript offers a sharp, critical examination of current political figures, particularly Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, through the lens of moral, social, and political hypocrisy. Trump’s repeated comments about the physical appearance of political figures—like John Huston’s body—are portrayed not as casual banter but as symptoms of a deeper mental and ethical decline, suggesting a loss of inhibitions and a pattern of inappropriate, obsessive behavior. The speaker links this to broader political failures, especially the Republican Party’s denial of child sexual abuse, including the controversial ad by Vivek Ramaswamy that features Amy Atkins, a survivor of childhood abuse.
This is framed as a profound moral failing, exposing the party’s complicity in pedophilic culture and performative values. The analysis also critiques the hypocrisy of "performative" patriotism and Christianity, where leaders claim to value families and children while ignoring real-world abuse, gun violence, and systemic racism. The discussion extends to racial politics, highlighting the marginalization of Black voters and the complex tensions between Black and Arab communities.
The speaker argues that Democrats now have a powerful opportunity to confront these issues directly, citing strong polling numbers and a growing public demand for accountability. Ultimately, the piece calls for a unified, truthful political stance—one that rejects denial, upholds human rights, and demands justice for victims, especially children and marginalized communities. The tone is urgent, passionate, and deeply critical of political hypocrisy, with a clear call to action for voters to support leaders who prioritize truth and equity over image and performance.
FAQs

The host draws a parallel to suggest that both instances involve superficial, performative affection, implying a lack of genuine emotional connection and raising concerns about the normalization of such behavior in political settings.
