Transcript:
Today’s show is a rough one.
Democrats are caving on the shutdown, and some of them are actually out there admitting that standing up to Trump didn’t work. This is the fight, and they’re saying it out loud.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump spent the weekend melting down online with some of the most unhinged posts we’ve ever seen, promising $2,000 dividends, ranting about dogs cracking, and demanding Republicans blow up the filibuster.
Trump also dropped a pile of pardons on the very people who helped him try to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani and that cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs lawyer Sidney Powell, among others.
Meanwhile, MAGA is facing an insurrection from the Groypers, as the far-right influencers are turning on each other.
We’ve also got Sean Duffy suggesting maybe we’ll bring in some uncertified air traffic controllers. That can’t go badly, right?
Trump was brutally booed at a football game. Karoline Leavitt is saying the quiet part out loud, and there’s a bombshell crypto pay-to-play scheme.
We’re also going to speak with Congressman Seth Moulton, who’s challenging Senator Ed Markey, and it’s a very interesting race.
Meanwhile, we continue to raise money for Feeding America in November to help deal with food insecurity. We’ve now raised over $11,000. Every first membership payment on my website and on my Substack is donated in full to Feeding America. Over $11,000 raised so far.
