In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the latest chaos in MAGA world. Republicans are openly saying veterans should be fired from the federal government—yes, you read that right. Trump’s latest press conference spiraled into a mess of threats against NATO, incoherent rambling, and yet another delay of his doomed tariff plan. Meanwhile, the stock market took a disastrous nosedive, rattled by Trump's reckless policies, and his administration is bracing for a potentially ugly jobs report on Friday. We also give our take on Trump's joint address to Congress—spoiler alert: it was filled with lies and grievance—and discuss a federal judge's scorching rebuke of Trump’s attempts to rule like a king. All that and more on today’s episode—tune in!

How about we save a lot of money and just cancel all Elon Musk’s grant could save $8 million a day
Amen! Recall Biebart and MTG save that money.
Bro “the American people disagree with [protesters]”?? Does she think the protesters are Canadian? Also polling shows about 60% of Americans are against the firing of government employees.
Exactly! This is like nonsense to fire so many people. It is to create a sense of turmoil and the Americans lose focus and feel desperate. But not now because he is there for the 2nd time but we are also more smart about what he can do and say now in this 2nd time. So there we go!
Bulls in a china shop or espionage?
This is a government not a business
I stated yesterday that the markets and court rulings will make Felon Trump cave in!
Elons rockets blew up yesterday….. karma!
Elon should stick to rockets and not in American politics!
He is just as reckless with rockets and satellites as he is with people of the world some happen to be our respected federal workers. How about taking the ketamine away from the guy and getting him in a rehab program? He openly admits the ketamine addiction. Look it up.
He should board the next one.
Not even mention how he is polluting In Texas where the X rockets are launched. He is creating a mess in the environment and communities.
You had me at "He is creating a mess"
Elon does not care how polluted things get on earth. He probably plans to live on a space station and leave us peons on the destroyed rock.
He apparently thinks he is Werner Von Braun (reincarnated)
To do what? And what about Musk? Musk is engineering all of this.
Every dog has it's day.
The killer stench of Project 2025 is always exhaled when Trump/Musk move their lips.
I have hope that you're right because all these people understand is money. What I'm also worried about, though, is whether any of these court rulings will be enforced. He was convicted before, but no sentence came through, and now he's quickly moving to dismantle the judicial system with all these firings...uncertain times!
Fuck him
I want to fire MTG
MTG doesn’t deserve her job and is unfit to do your job
Agreed. She’s an absolute psycho b.
The government should be supplying a straight-jacket and padded cell for Marg Toilet Green
Marjorie Taylor Green needs to do her job. She doesn’t do her job. She doesn’t protect the people and this is not what the people wanted
And yet her voters keep reelecting her. IMPO her District voters have been conditioned to fill in the R at the top of the ballot even after she showed Hunter's dic pics on national TV. Her voters reelected her twice her back to Congress. OR, they believe that being a performance artist and getting on national TV because she does something really stupid is what being a member of Congress is all about and that is why they reelected her twice
She's a great liason between Congress and DOGE. Kinda like the liason between Zelensky and Trump.
Yo do what we say. Congress isn't invited to the negotiations of their charges.
Zelensky wasn't invited to the table for his own country.
Can we say DICTATOR!!
It's happening right in front of our eye.
Have any of you seen Lexington in April? The 19th is a pretty remarkable day. There is no other place that can conjur the patriots of old.
Somebody with the know how should think about what I just said!!
Perhaps Trump memorabilia in the harbor Dec 13th, or perhaps cell phones or a Tesla or two...
Billionaires don't want a democracy...plain and simple!
MTG does not deserve her paycheck!
I get so annoyed at the MAGA Republicans saying and their mainstream media megaphones criticizing the Dems. Decorum,when the entire Republican regime have no shred of decorum, as evidenced by their support of a criminal felon and their in our face defense of his lawlessness and craping all over our Constitution! The Dems. In my opinion should continue to bombard the American public with the so obvious fact that Medicaid, Medicare, and SS are in the crosshairs of the Republicans. Do not let them gaslight and lie about what they are planning for our country! The Dems message should be Medicare and Medicaid planned Republican cuts!
Trump Musk are firing veteran employees !?! Shame on them.😬 MYG…You don’t deserve your job.😡
I'm an American and I don't agree with her. I don't know what Americans she's talking to other than the one in the mirror.
there are lots of little Margy lovers in America...lots of Americans think like her...she and Boebert are shining examples of what's wrong with America..
I'm the daughter of a WWII vet. Mother of an active-duty military son. I am sick as SHIT of these frat boys running loose with no guardrails. What the hell? And there is not one single Republican with a smattering of courage to now, when their country is at the highest risk of social, economic and international collapse, stand for doing the right thing. My favorite part: Alina Hobbit saying "We care about veterans tremendously." You mean the guy who stood thumbs-up on sacred ground at Arlington? The guy who dodged the rain so his toupee wouldn't fall off his disgusting head in France, calling fallen soldiers suckers and losers? Just need clarification on the "caring tremendously" bit of that statement.
Well said! All the MAGA Republicans criminals know how to do is blame the Dems. For their own ineptness!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯
Haba is such an idiot.
That applies to everyone Trump hires.
Did someone finally tell him that he’s the one that negotiated the US MCA deal? The other day he said the person that negotiated that was horrible.
Haba doesn't mention that Trump cost millions of dollars to fly to Mara Lago and play golf! He's not working when he's down there! Why should he be paid AND have the government have to pay for his flight and care and protection? Veterans earned their money already !! These Republicans are all LIARS and GRIFTERS!!!!
He should be in the office daily just as he orders for other federal workers that work for the people. He doesn't get it. He grifts for Donald. I wonder how much daily he, Elon, Zuckerberg and the others are making personally off the US having this Bitcoin Ft. Knox?
Ok, having GOP scum talking about how government employees aren’t making money for the government and don’t deserve a job should lose their pay and benefits too.
I just CAN’T listen to these idiots be so self-unaware! We need to get them out of office and send them to Putin!
Thiefs
And watch how he STILL takes credit for everything!!
Credit for anything good!
When are the American people going to stage a people power revolution to throw this maniac out. Before he totally destroys the world order. Every day he does more almost irreparable damage
His job is not necessary!
You're right. Musk's job is totally unnecessary. The people whose job it is to check for fraud, waste and abuse were the Inspector Generals that they fired first. They're not even looking at the federal employees position descriptions, nor looking at processes. It's not even about the employees showing up for work. All Musk is doing is going through an agency and saying ok if we cut this many people we will save x amount of dollars in salaries and disguising It as fraud. Mind you, a lot of these federal agencies were already short handed due to a hiring freeze from last year. Not to mention that how they are going about it is totally illegal.
They keep saying that the veterans don’t deserve their jobs because they don’t show up. Did they ever check who was showing up? Did they evaluate any of these good and honest people?
I'm curious about the traffic in DC now that federal workers can't work from home. Do they really think no one ever went into the office? If they get their work done what'd the gripe?
How about the pollution from all that needless gas that the cost is soaring higher daily?
I can't help but to repeat myself, BULLS IN A CHINA SHOP!!
I loved Biden. He was smart, kind and gave a shit about the American people unlike Trump. He left Trump a great economy that he is now destroying.
We can bet that if the jobs numbers were good! Fox would be touting what a wonderful job the felon and his regime are doing! There would be NO mention of Joe Biden, if the numbers were good! Therefore, FOX and others are just full of SH! Americans, don’t listen to this crap, because it is nothing but crap!
How could any job growth number be good with all the firing he's been doing.
MTG doesn't realize she's talking about herself when she's talking about jobs that suck up taxpayer dollars while not generating revenue, does she?!? She hasn't done a DAMN thing to earn her salary, of TAXPAYER DOLLARS...
The attack on Veterans and other Federal employees earned pay has me shaking with anger.
How do we more publicly fact check and respond to these GOP sycophants that tax payers are paying all members of Congress, President, Cabinet, DOGE and staffs, and Judiciary?
We also pay for their healthcare even beyond time in office if term requirements are met?
I already write letters, and make calls. I don’t reside in the GOP members of House so I use USPS for letters. I need new ideas.
Stay connected to the Meidastouch network work and particularly Michael Popok!
Neither Trump nor DOGE has the expertise to determine which jobs in these agencies are essential!
Let's ask Clinton how he balanced the budget? How about Obama? I wonder the secrets of Biden's bounce back economy that was somehow our imagination.
Aren't we supposed to be adding job growth not fire millions all at the same time?
I'm telling you. April 19th could be a powerful statement!!
What an A-hole! Who in the military is going to protect and defend you for what you said with such disrespect about our military veterans whose jobs are to wipe your AAS!!! 💩 🇺🇸
The ones that remain to fight for the Constitution and the American people just as their oath professes.
But I do get your point.
Trump destroys anything he touches.
Can't help but wonder when the brains behind this revolution, that we have bloodlessly lost, decides to kick the orange turd off the screen. We all know he really isn't in charge, and neither is Musk. So who is? Putin. Could be. I know you are trying your damddest to keep this from blowing up in everyone's face. But, I keep having these daydreams of people holeing up in safe blue states, lobing missiles into red states. Dodging those being lobed back. What will the next revolution look like? Will it be bloodless because Americans cannot imagine another armed conflict being fought on their home turf?
Mike Johnson is a little whimp!
He definitely should not be getting our tax money for his salary
As always, you brothers rock!
I cannot for the life of me understand how this many people completely follow this idiot blindly. The Grifter in Chief is destroying this country and telling us we should be fine with whatever, and oh by the way, just buy some chickens for your backyard 😱🤬
I don't either. I had a Trumper tell me the other day that prices will get better when the tariffs kick in. They don't live in reality. It's unbelievable that some Americans can be so gullible.
Thank you for keeping me in the know! I no longer recognize our country. But you help me stay focused & do what needs to be done. Living in MA, I know we are on the chopping block. But I also know that we are governed by amazingly brilliant women! Gov Healey, Lt gov Driscoll, AG Campbell, state senate president, so proud! Less we forget Boston’s Mayor Wu!!
I don't have a backyard for chickens. 😔
Veterans deserve our eternal thanks for their service.
Unlike Trump.."Bone Spurs"
Does that mean MTG is going to quit her job?
Trump: we're firing thousands of people
ADP: jobs added are the lowest in 6 months
Trump and his people: oh we had nothing to do with that
Come on “Captain-Bone-Spurs” you and your family are cut and run draft doggers!
And Elonia says SS is a ponzi scheme???!!! OMG!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮💯❗
They Trump, Elon, and Republicans don’t have any empathy they are trying to make the point like Brett said that you are only important if you are rich. You are weak if you need any help or support. They are white and superior and rich and everyone else is trash. Enemies, immigrants, radical leftists.
DT loves to put on a face of toughness with no backbone!
Alina Habba needs to focus on what she knows best: “parking lot legal.”
No! The felon tried to throw his ineptness on to Joe Biden, who left office with a booming economy!
The problem with fentanyl is not it coming smuggled from Canada, it's real or fake fentanyl from other countries! It needs to be used in cases of cancer, fractures of the spine - the most severe pain imaginable, so the govt needs to police the illegal traffic from the real smugglers! Get your head out of your ass, trumpelon!
Senile old man
A Buffalo that needs to be put out to pasture.
Kudlow and the rest of this regime lie, constantly and should never be trusted by any of us!
How much can we listen to the same stories, over and over and over again. Magas are magas and they will never accept the truth. Please no more DonOld’s voice 🤮
Listen all.he cares about is reversing anything that was done by the President's he hates. OBAMA AND BIDEN
The felon is just posting this crap on “Truth Social” to appease his base believers!
Thank you for your honest reporting.
I stand with Mexico and Canada. Good for them standing up to Trump.
It’s just straight up gaslighting from a lying grifter!
Everyone needs to pay attention that DT will always say he’s making great decisions, is doing a great job, when in actuality the facts do not bare that out!
Those poor astronauts are going to die up there. Elonia is too damn busy tanking our government & blowing up HIS taxpayer's TOYS!!!!!!
The fact that she says their not fit for their job is fuc$&ing disgraceful
I believe you could look up who is playing the market with his yoyo decisions. There is for sure a consensus on when to buy and sell between within his circle.
We HAD him as President before, FACT was the American People did not Want a BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT, so they sat at home and didnt vote or they held their noses and voted for Trump He told you folks and showed them who he was and you didnt believe it and voted for him. Believe him now, TRUMP IS A BALF-FACED-LIAR!
Trump is such a demented moron.
These people must think Americans are just stupid. Well, we are NOT!! We see what you are doing and believe me you all will be voted out of your jobs because YOU DONT DESERVE YOUR JOB!!! You are not taking care of our veterans and all Americans. You are so done!!!!
Now he’s attacking canadas dairy industry.
Yes it’s protected. No we don’t want unregulated,antibiotic,growth hormone injected milk products from USA.
Maybe that’s why life expectancy is 5 years longer for Canadians.
They want to line up their own people in government they fire the good people to put their people in place and steal from the taxpayers so they can line up their pockets Donald gets the gold and they get the cash
MTG is the one who doesn’t deserve a job.
MTG... another idiot.
Isn't Margie a federal employee 🤔 Let's fire her for not bringing in any money to the government!!!
The Jig is Up
Musk and Trump their social media is nothing more than
“DOMESTIC TERRORISM”
The President and Musk are Nazi Russian Assets
These people need to be arrested
This is what happens when we allow our elections to be manipulated by bad players.
Ask the farmers in Nebraska who can't operate their farms now due to l ack of workers.
China is stepping up their influence on the world stage because Trump has put American last as leader of the free world.
As a taxpayer, I say fire all of them. Marge needs to realize that SHE doesn't deserve her paycheck.
Donald the Destroyer continues to put a wrecking ball through America. He himself said that any president who causes the stock market to fall by over 1000 points should be impeached. He's doubled that so far. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once I agree with him. Any president who causes the stock market to fall by 1000 points should be impeached.
JD and MAGA Mike. Bobble heads
Why TY! I've been seen & heard. Most appreciated. Still working thru how to navigate Substack. This app sure beats the heck out of "X" & FB. They've become as sewage-filled as SCOTUS approving of raw sewage being DUMPED into the Pacific Ocean, via Kyle Kulinski pods!
And the two goons behind him nodding and smirking.
Thanks guys. Tell it like it is.
This Administration has no understanding of how the government works. Me as a 56 yr old woman know more about government than all of these people put together.
Whatever it takes, we must do to save our country from these traitors....
Donald Trump should resign. He has failed completely.
MAGA hates our veterans and the services our government provides for the common good.
Defund Elon Musk. His huge defense contacts are a total waste of the taxpayers money.
Veterans are faithful public servants providing necessary services.
Never woke up ONCR under Biden wondering "who the president pissed off enough to declare war on us today?"...but I do now...EVERY. DAM. DAY🤦🏾♀️.
Great podcast Ben, please relax and take it easy!
Careful what you ask for, America.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Will you please stop saying America like it's all of us.
Donald, Elon and the MAGA minions are your Huckleberry, with a side course of kleptocracy.
Only 77M voted for the louse. 75M for all the American people. But here's the real kicker. 89M registered voters DID NOT VOTE!!
I'm just asking to be mindful. We weren't all idiots. Thx.
Love these guys. Thank you so much for telling truth with zero sane-washing.
Bull in a china shop!!
I feel like I'm in a nightmare, duh! I
am!
Congressman and Senators get $200,000 per year for thei office. Let's cut that in.half a.d see what they say. That's 6 million per year!!
They don’t even deserve $100,000 a year. They only work six months out of the year.
He is delusional!
Fuck that guy.
Your daily news brief is about the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning and facing another day. Thank you.
If there is any fraud/waste in the government it doesn’t come from the employees’ side but from all the contractors making fortunes from their government contracts while screwing the said government.
How about cuts to Congress's budget. How about cutting your staff MTG? How about cutting your perks...
The Republican congress is fired!
I love your shows and the information you all give us.
Listen trump has no idea.He is destroying your country,for a ego trip.
Remember you called Trump’s coin con a pump and dump. Tariffs are being used in a rug pull. It is stock manipulation.
While it is comforting to think that Trump’s waffling on tariffs is a result of cowardice and that he is responding to pressure, it may well be that we are being played as he literally plays the markets. The ability to drive markets down and then “let” them rise is a tool for making a great deal of money if you are the one doing it or if you have insider knowledge about timing. Who is profiting from these movements in the market? A good question when regulators have been blinded. Check out Mark Sumner’s latest on Uncharted Blue.
MTG those protesters are Americans
I created over 250 jobs and launched a company!
How many jobs have you created MTG?
Trump is pathetic
.....post something on ketamine....Elon apparently uses it to create that disconnected haze when on camera. Loop the pictures along with golf pictures of Donald. These guys are fragile, though powerful...
I cannot believe I am condoning this behavior...just that I am sick to death of these two rich guys that continue things just because they can....enough!
Thank you for your very informative broadcasts. As a Canadian, I am very interested in what is happening in the U.S. because it greatly affects us.
You are sensational..... But please ...... Tell us how you Really feel !!!! 🤣🤣🤣So impressed to see how you are helping, educating and also bringing the truth. Thank you
Dt is a big wanna be bully. The way that we need to react to a bully is to punch him in the nose. #resistance
It’s shocking how stupid these people are.
Oh give me a friggun break. Does trump, the gop, and these other idiots like mtg truly believe the American people can't see right through them. We are not like them....we have a whole brain and are tired of all the friggin LIES! Just stop you stupid morans!! You are in office and if you don't want a complete upheaval of the republican party you friggin guys need to quit playing these stupid games! As for the orange-haired blob, you should never have been president once much less twice. You just don't have the intelligence, integrity, and fortitude to be a half-assed businessman much less a president. Just quit...go home! We, the American people, are sick and tired of all the lies and games!
Who is the person who will galvanize all of us to fight back against this republican regime. No one person is standing up. Carville says play opposum. It’ll be too late if we wait. What can a citizen do?
Stop waiting for someone to save you.
Dropouts Obstructing Government's Existence
If anyone should be cut for not working it is Donald Trump, unless playing golf is considered his job.
Thanks for this! You guys put into words everything we’re thinking about this total clown show. Keep up the ridicule - they deserve it & much more!
Another great job guys. Keep up the good work! I give it 5 stars!
Don't look now Meidas but you gentlemen have an 82 y.o. groupie.
Thank you for your great work bring truth back to news.
MTG doesn't deserve her job or a paycheck! Isn't she a "federal employee", because she is doing a piss poor job. Fire her!
The wealthy are not paying their share in taxes. So their solution to that is to give them continued tax cuts along with tax cuts for corporations. They are not reforming but rather gutting via coup.
I believe the on and off again tariffs is so republicans can take advantage of insider trading buy low sell high. Planned
Convicted felon!
One only needs to push back against Trump and he will immediately cave in and take back his attempted bullying threats. The whole world is likely aware of how easy it is to get Trump to cower and back off and make his big talk look like nothing.
In other words the selling of America to the wealthy!
Let’s see how far they go in getting rid of the “Chips Act”!
They are all forgetting that THEY are Federal employees! They work for the taxpayers; not for the orange clown or the muskrat.
I wish MTG would STFU and then fade away .
MTG is an idiot
I love your podcasts, I do. But the message you have to deliver is so over the top, I can't even listen to the entire message you're getting out. Where are all of the past Democratic leaders? Past president's, VP's, senate and house leaders? Why is nothing being challenged to the point it will halt this downhill snowball? I just want to crawl under the covers, I swear. This whole coux will occur and we'll all be starving because noone can afford food and our benefits slashed. It's depressing, disheartening and, above all, wrong.
Better yet! Where are all the patriotic Republicans, the party of the Constitution, law and order , free speech, etc! They have deserted their oath, by not standing up against a felon criminal leading our country into destruction!
Cause the felon is a F’n clown!
Maybe USA will have to raise sign on payments to get soldiers in the future.
It’s always the Dems fault when their MAGA Republicans fall on their pathetic faces!
Habba... We care about veterans by laying them off being they aren't fir, and they support the blue by having the j6 mob attack them. maga morons, and clueless cult clowns nob their empty heads like bobbleheads... MTG has never worked a day in her ignorant life while soiling her seat in congress.
I would like to propose a new phrase to describe unelected bureaucrats gutting our Federal institutions: bullDOGEing.
Oh my gosh! Why are they hurting so many? 😢. This is way too sad. It needs to be caring and understanding to others.💙
Seriously? You want people facing economic devastation to give money so we can hear what you have to say? Shameful.
Just stop with the lies! Fox Propaganda!
The Art of the Deal.
Liars. Alina Jamba banana liar.
MTG has no idea what it means to deserve her job. She's a disgrace.
TY! There's more. Thanks for following me!
HE'S a Ponzi scheme. Dumbo, too. What they're doing is a stock market manipulation for their rich bastards "cabinet" to sell stocks on the cheap, then re-buy them for profit, & I don't even dabble in stocks. Can't afford to! My dead 1'st husband did this & it ruined him. One reason I divorced him years ago. I learned this lesson quick. I lived in Canada for 15 years married to a Canadian. Loved horse racing, bet a cheap Quinella & won. Next bet, lost my winnings just like that. It was only about 80 bucks worth, but that did it. Never attended horse racing again. I've never gone to a casino, never will. My daughter, a banquet chef, feeds these pigs at a casino in Columbia, IL. Hey, she's doing great. Love her. She's lesbian & never more proud of her. She's sticking it to them. Saw The Wolf of Wall Street. An awesome movie, & THIS is what's happening in America. It's REALLY REAL! AGAIN! OH!!!!! Recently heard Elonia's OWN AI Grok trashed him to the NTH degree that is devastating. Kyle Kulinski by the way. Watch him. Grok predicts an absolute COLLAPSE of America's social structure, but legacy news don't EVEN talk about this. Especially FAUX "news". People of America are SCREAMING & Democrats AREN'T LISTENING ENOUGH!!!!! I'm a Democrat & ENOUGH is ENOUGH! WHO in the HELL will Defend democracy?! So far, an old guy in Bernie Sanders! I thought AOC, a great ally of Bernie would stand up. Crockett, but they're NOT pushing HARD ENOUGH! Hakeem???!! An UTTER disappointment! STOP LISTENING to Pelosi & Schumer you morons!!!!!! Some Dems, 10, had the GALL to CENSURE Al Green???!!! How DARE YOU!!!!! WRONG on so many levels. My GOD, Democrats!!! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!! There IS NO LEADERSHIP in this deplorable Democratic Party. QUIT being chickenshits, Dems! I propose Pete Buttigieg to take over, or Ossof, or ANYBODY now! THIS is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!
"What's needed for evil to triumph -- is for good men to stand idly by . . . to do nothing." JFK used that old saying in his first address to the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa. First, he noted how neighbors help each other over a long time. His speech was filled with praise for the greatest friend. Check it out. Our Congress and all government employees could learn from that great diplomat: a speaker of high intelligence besides modeling the good manners learned from early on.
Federal employees -- ever heard Trump --while pointing straight ahead--say "You're Fired." [ He was famous for that scripted line. was acting on 'The Apprentice' in that 'un-reality' show. All about a made-up tycoon, who supposedly was a successful businessman. But that role was only created for high TV ratings.] Check it out: 'What We Did Was a Scam': The Apprentice Creators Give Behind the Scenes Reveal of Trump's Show' noted on a post in 2018: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/apos-did-scam-apos-apprentice-222831006.html
How about getting your governor Newsome on the podcast.
He needs to explain to his audience about his conversation with Charlie Kirk yesterday on his new podcast .
We need the brothers to push back on his remarks against the transgender community .
Newsom probing Kirk's mind was illuminating to me. Anyone listening could hear how narrow-minded Kirk is. Kirk is a brain-washed fool who thinks Trump is a genius.
She is doing the usual blah, blah, blah How is Trmp supportive of military and veterans??
Didn't Trmp say those in our U.S. military were "losers"??
He’s the bully in chief!
It’ s the felon’s lying crap!
Love the humor. Makes it easier to accept the lunacy. Thanks Meidas!!
Come on, Ben do it. LOL
I don’t blame Canadians! Why bother coming to a country that sees your country as weak and conquerable?
Short term, to se if the market bounced back!
Now that’s an out right lie! NATO came to our defense on 9/11, the evidence is very clear on this!
As the keeper of a flock of about 30 chickens, I can tell you that they don’t pay for themselves in eggs.
That's BS.
Symp-sons, meet the Symp-sons
They're the modern meth age family
From the town of moscow
They're a taint right out of history
Let's ride with the cult down the street
Through the courtesy of trump's wide seat
When you're with the Symp-sons
Have a alina-habba-doo time
A habba-doo time
We'll have a cray gold time
Symp-sons, meet the Symp-sons
They're the modern meth age family
From the town of moscow
They're a taint right out of history
Someday, maybe J.D. will win the fight
Then he'll sleep on the sofa for the night
Have a alina-habba-doo time
A habba-doo time
A grabba-doo time
We'll have a cray gold time
We'll have a cray gold time!
Day 1!
The stock market is telling you that they don’t like what you’re doing!
Are you for real!
Elon and Trump are draft dodgers!
She doesn’t know what a Veteran is!
He doesn’t have a clue! We’ll work on getting you fired!🔥
Ok so I found some far right organizations fb page and went down their rabbit hole. There IS one test (that was coincidentally done during Trumps first administration) on 10 mice, testing MTF and FTM hormones. The study wasn't officially published until January of 2021
So if you see anyone still floating that idea, that's why. But they're intentionally circulating that article because of the controversy. They blocked me from their page for saying the testing was during Trumps term lol
I have the article link if anyone wants it
I just don't understand! WHY??!! WHY?? He hates America this much??
It's also kakistocracy!!!! Never forget!
Comments anyone, regarding that car dealership schtick in front of OUR WH???!!! Utterly despicable!!!!!! Tank Tesla/Elonia HARDER, Americans! It's working!!!!!!! And child protective services? Anyone still THERE??!! PLS remove that child from Elonia's slimy, smarmy grip! It's child abuse!!!!! Period!!!!!!
If us regular Americans can’t afford to purchase the items or services of the billionaires, they lose too!
We are in the middle of a coup.
Why aren’t we seeing in the media (read NYT) that Europe has indeed stepped up to help Ukraine? See YouTube videos. Norway and other European nations are stepping up. Is it that Trump doesn’t want Americans to know this? Is the NYT now a Trump newspaper?
None of those people who say "suck if up" look like they've ever been poor. They have no clue and are totally dismissive of what's happening to other human beings.
Trump does that.
Do any of these people realize these “veterans” they are firing are working, whether at home or in office or in the clinic or in the hospital! I’m not a federal employee, but I know this!
Many congress people are veterans!! This makes no sense!!
MTG is such a stupid idiot. Federal employees are taking American taxpayer money (they pay taxes also). they don't deserve their jobs (she definitely doesn't deserve her money or paycheck and doesn't realize she is a federal employee also).
We need to say you're fired to Trump
I didn’t realize that federal employees are supposed to make money for our country. I thought they were working to provide services to the American people. Silly me!
Ugh.. these people make me so sick!
I've never seen a weaker president. Can't stand up to actual dictators, can't stand up to vested interests, can only stand up to bully the weak and the vulnerable. He is a despicable coward.
"SCUM" is the correct word for the people killing these jobs. My taxes pay for these federal employees. They are vital to giving us the level of service we are accustomed to. Now we will pay taxes for very little service.
My social security has just been suspended after receiving it since retirement nine years ago. Has this happened to anybody else yet? By the way, I've been sitting on hold for hours hoping to speak to someone from social security, but always get disconnected with the message that too many people are calling so they can't answer my call.
What everybody is missing, is: DODGE is firing people and closing agencies to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Please, Ben have some discussions about WHY they are trying to cut the budget. Do the voters who support DODGE and Musk even think about where the money will go? We, the people will not benefit from the DODGE cuts at all. Let’s get this message out every time you talk about DODGE. We all have to remember that cruelty and revenge are the bedrock of trump’s actions which will eventually benefit Musk, Bezos et al. Everything they do is for the rich. Period.
Don’t you have a hedge fund in china that helps to manufacture fentanyl… lmk if I’m wrong about this
Ben you should have Jamie Foxx on who is known for the best dump impersonation
Great show. You tapped into all of our rage.
Isn't green a federal employee 🤔
THATS RIGHT, OUR COUNTRY IS “NOT A BUSINESS”!!! YOU people are so out of touch for what this country is!! YOU Magas need to really get a fucking grip and not for power but for the “American people”!
Arena Habba, Marjorie Taylor Green, your fucking idiots and until or unless you have been where our veterans have been SHUT the fuck up because you have no clue what you're talking about!!
I'd like to remind Ms. Habba that many of those taxpayer dollars are reaped from all those Fed employees they are gleefully firing willy nilly. And please - stop the big fat lie that your beloved F(at)B(astard) in Chief cares in the least about "the blue." Not after pardoning all those J6 thugs. Not after he labeled every service person who ever lived and died a "sucker and loser." Just please, and for once, STFU.
Got it. Next time I'll say non Trump voting Americans. Didn't need to offend. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
After the initial weeks of DOGE and the fake "savings" they are claiming, why are we still saying the government has a spending problem and not a revenue problem? Clearly, very little of the cuts are wasteful spending. I would posit that we need to just stop pretending that we can cut our way out and really, really need to look at the revenue side.
Come on, Ben, we want that RFK impression!!! Work on it! Due TOMORROW!!!!!!!
Now this: The U.S. Agriculture Department has decided to stop two special food safety teams, according to Consumer Reports. These teams, made up of scientists, food safety experts, and industry professionals, helped make sure our food was safe to eat. They studied germs like salmonella and listeria, which can make people sick, and checked how the government handled food safety problems. Now that these teams are gone, some experts worry that food safety might not be as strong as before.
I miss the old Republican party, before they became obsessed with power and no longer have any principles. Sure they gently protected racists and opposed Women's right to control their own body, but the level of crazy was subdued and there were true moderates among them. We could have reasoned discussions over how much to fund our military, but in general we agreed who our allies were, and who our enemies were. Nobody was saying it was OK to violently attack our police and (after the Vietnam war) we all agreed we supported our veterans for their service. We actually agreed on a lot of things and could disagree politely, and believe it or not, the lies were few and mostly exaggerations or promises they did not have the power to keep.
Why, even just a year ago the Republicans in congress, publicly (At the State of the Union) declared as one that they would not do anything to cut or damage Soc Sec or Medicare...
I suspect the MAGA party has 'captured' the Republican Party in a hostile takeover, and the (actual) Republicans are only gradually realizing their party no longer represents their values.
'Independents' are only now gradually realizing there really IS a difference between the two parties we have today including the level of 'lies' from each side is different.
What happens if DT & Musk 😷 default on the national debt?
Once upon a time:
Republicans were opposed to Russia, even after the 'fall of communism'.
Republicans attacked Hillary for thinking briefly she could do a 'reset' with Putin, she learned better and then strongly opposed him, but still Republicans slammed her for it.
Republicans stood for morality, like when Bill Clinton had an affair. Even calling themselves "the Moral Majority"
Republicans stood for "Law and Order", and especially for opposing pardoning violent criminals, like Willie Horton.
Republicans were the party most supportive of Veterans and Police.
Republicans supported Free Trade, like NAFTA and USMCA
Republicans Proudly protected the Constitution
But now:
They say and do everything Putin wants them to. They want to give to Putin what Putin could not win for himself - Ukraine. While insulting and putting down Ukraine.
Fall into line behind a man who was proven in court to have sexually abused a woman and who then repeatedly defamed her, lying about her, denying it... After a long history of cheating on his wives, bragging about grabbing them by their P****...
Fall into line behind the man who pardoned hundreds of criminals who beat up police, injuring over a hundred police protecting our capital while Congress was in session. Those pardons were extended to include repeat violent criminals like Daniel Ball.
They fall in line behind the guy working hard to implement tariffs and trade wars with Mexico and Canada, even while violating the treaty he signed.
Now they support a president who per the constitution can not hold office, specifically after having pardoned convicted insurrectionists, providing "Aid or Comfort" to them, after having otherwise been complicit in the events surrounding the insurrection committed on his behalf. Per the 14th amendment.
This is total bullshit from the GOP, tell it like it is the country is in huge debt do to rumps tax break for the rich when he was 45. Why don’t people keep repeating this. 🇨🇦

Thanks for going ad free. You guys really have far too many ads altogether in your podcasts.
How much money do you need to make off of each episode? I don't begrudge you some income off of it but wow, 6 minutes of ads in a 19 minute podcast is unacceptable.
Thanks for your work nonetheless. It's good and appreciated and needed. Just cut back on the ads a bit, at least the preroll ads for christ's sake :)
Everything about this administration is shameful. This will be their sad legacy.
By the way, this McCormick???????? HE is the one who is on drugs, whatever, picked up a deadly mental disease from the Dictator Criminal Psycho Mental Case Idiot.
Alina is like her psycho lover in the oval officer. NO, she DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR VETERANS. What an imbecile/b***h/useless. And MTG--isn't she a federal employee? She sure as heck doesn't deserve her job. Kick them both to the curb.
MARGE! YOU ARE A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE!!!
I love you guys!please keep up your good work!
So she's saying that the 20+ years I spent delivering mail in Arizona is a job I didn't deserve?
If Republicans in Congress are going to refuse to do their jobs and just let Musk run willy nilly, slicing and dicing our institutions, then what good are they? They aren't earning their salaries or representing us! They are even refusing to meet with constituents! Hey, Elon, I know where you can find some 'waste, fraud and abuse'. Along with all your nefarious cuts to ordinary folks, why don't you first try cutting out these lazy weasels' jobs??
Boy, you were on a roll today!! Wow! Do you think Trump is deliberately roller-coastering the economy and Stock Market so that his cronies get insider information on when to buy and sell?
Clearly, the entitled toddler, potus, has never heard the story about “the boy that cried wolf”.
TY! More contacts pls to you all. Trying my best! 👍
