🎙️ Just like Smug said on X, today is going to be an insane day. And we start strong with a beef between Smug and JD Vance online that spilled into a PA rally.  ⚡️ NPR apparently needs to be around or people will die? Somehow, this feels familiar to other Democrat arguments. Also, how to get a book deal for your poetry and we should be afraid of the gay Chinese robots.  🇺🇸 #1 best-selling author, Salena Zito, discusses her book and being next to Trump in Butler, PA. It’s a gripping account, plus Selena makes some news on the Progrum.  😘 Don’t get caught on the kiss cam with your mistress… especially at a Coldplay concert, and the ESPYs were amazing.  00:00 - Smug Gets Into a Twitter Fight with JD Vance 10:00 - The Gay Chinese Robot and Genderfluid Poet  21:00 - Rescission Package and NPR/PBS Funding Cuts  32:45 - Audience Questions and Show Updates  39:25 - Salena Zito and Her Book: Butler 01:00:45 - Hollywood Henneberg Joins - Caught at the Coldplay Concert and Shane Gillis Is Rolling Our Sponsors: ➢Find out the true power of America's oil and natural gas.

The controversial auto-pen signatures from the Biden administration's final days are finally getting examined. The fellas discuss how these decisions, particularly the pardons for figures like Anthony Fauci, Biden Family members, and Jerry Lundergan, were reportedly made without Biden's direct involvement, despite his team's insistence otherwise. But Hunter got a handwritten one.    The deep state left a note. So this is your friendly reminder that the State Department fired employees want you to do your best to ‘resist fascism.’    A really wild read from the New York Times by Obama speech writer David Litt sheds light on how the democrats look down on MAGA, and the fellas just can’t get enough of this OpEd.    ️ Trump approaches foreign policy unlike any other President and it’s paying off, just like The Progrum knew it would.

In a truly bizarre Washington Post article, penned by a literal clown… Excuse us, a Clown. As we learn the grammatical rules of using Clown in a sentence, Subway Takes spiked their interview with Kamala because it was embarrassing. Release the tapes!   Plus, Hakeem’s bad photoshop is not a first-time problem.    ️ Then, anti-ICE violence is springing up around the country and yet, no one is wondering how we got here. From the shooting last year, the fire-bombing of Gov. Shapiro, to the LA riots and more — we get to the permission structure the left built for its violent tendencies.    If you have a round of golf planned, please take this opportunity to make sure you don’t pick a fight with the wrong former NHL player in our favorite video of the week.    And American Beverage President and CEO, Kevin Keane on the growth of MAHA and their efforts at transparency.

What would an Elon Musk-backed third party do for American politics? The fellas look at which party benefits and if the formation of an "America" party would pave a clear path for Democratic victories. They also cover if Musk misunderstands US politics, or if he promised more with DOGE than he (or any one man) could deliver.   Smug wants an influencer-based Epstein inquisition impaneled with some broad powers.   Great coverage of the “kill the gringo” protests and if Smug would escape them in Mexico City, plus Hakeem Jeffries humiliating photoshop fail.
