The Ghost Minority

The Dudes open the show on Trump’s November 7 Truth Social post offering UFC CEO Dana White the White House press secretary job — calling him a “violent Fighter and Warrior” and suggesting UFC fighters as aides to fight the “Lunatic Left.” The announcement came days after Democrats flipped the House and Senate in the November 3 midterms and while the press secretary slot sat empty following Katie Zacharia’s five-day tenure. Trump later clarified he was “only kidding,” and White publicly declined at a White House appearance, saying he doesn’t want to be in politics. That kicks off a broader conversation about the post-midterm blame game inside the White House, including reports that Susie Wiles was pushed out as chief of staff (replaced by Stephen Miller) amid frustration over the results and the past two years of operation. Later, the fellas dissect a viral AI-generated The Office clip reacting to the midterm blue wave — a 16-million-view X parody that put the boss in a Pride flag sweater calling for an emergency Diversity Day — and break down a debate between a millennial socialist and a survivor of Venezuelan communism under Chávez and Maduro. The guys close out the show talking about the real-world challenges of owning a company, Democrats directing their ire at billionaires after the blue wave, and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele deploying 2,000+ troops to Haiti after an October 18 gang ambush that took four Salvadoran personnel. Bukele has since posted about destroying gang headquarters and finishing the job he started at home.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: [email protected] If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/ CrosswireNews Same News | Different Views https://crosswirenews.com/

The Dudes open on Jennifer Welch mocking Charlie Kirk’s death. On the November 5 I’ve Had It episode, Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at a post saying “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” After sponsors fled, they apologized and donated to Everytown, though Welch later said the apology “was for us.” That leads to Dave Chappelle’s Madison Square Garden set, where he told the crowd, “Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered… I feel better,” drawing backlash from Erika Kirk, Elon Musk, and others. Later, the fellas dissect Scott Galloway calling for Elon Musk’s execution as a “traitor to the West.” On Pivot with Kara Swisher, Galloway said, “We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall,” and argued Musk should face the same standards. From there they break down the improbability of Tyler Robinson disassembling his rifle after the assassination. Robinson is accused of using his grandfather’s old Mauser Model 98 .30-06, which he left wrapped in a towel near Utah Valley University after failing to retrieve it amid lockdowns. The guys close on Stephen Miller’s appointment as Chief of Staff, replacing Susie Wiles effective November 9. Then manosphere podcasters interviewing the Weinstein brothers on rotation, and Calley Means exposing Susie Wiles’ role in lobbying against MAGA priorities. Means has alleged on Joe Rogan that Wiles blocked MAHA policies to protect industry donors ahead of the midterms.

The Dudes open on the lost art of listening to music while driving, which leads to a larger conversation about cops driving among the traffic versus clocking drivers from the shoulder. Later, the fellas dissect Russell Brand’s guilty verdict. A London jury convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault from incidents between 2004 and 2009 after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court. He was acquitted of two other rape charges and later sentenced to 10 years and six months. They break down the unique details surrounding the allegations, which followed a 2023 investigation by The Times, Sunday Times, and Channel 4. Brand denied the charges and maintained the encounters were consensual. The guys close on social media censorship during the Covid lockdowns, streamer Clavicular getting ‘mogged’ by two European tranny models who told him they were the original looksmaxxers, the looksmaxxing culture trending homosexual, and LL Cool J surviving the genetically enhanced sharks in Deep Blue Sea after test audiences demanded his character live.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: [email protected] If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/ CrosswireNews Same News | Different Views https://crosswirenews.com/

The Dudes open on Florida holding the red line for conservatives in the midterms. While Democrats swept most of the country, Republicans held the U.S. House delegation at 8 Democrats and 20 Republicans, won the special Senate race with Ashley Moody, and took the governor’s race with Byron Donalds. That leads to a larger conversation about new transgender representatives in the U.S. Congress. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, won reelection in Delaware. Additional transgender and nonbinary candidates also won state legislative seats in places including Michigan, Washington, and Georgia. Later, the fellas dissect Ron DeSantis declaring the midterms an extinction-level event for Republicans. At a press conference the day after the results, the Florida governor called the national wipeout “close to an extinction-level event for Republicans in many parts of the country” and warned the losses could reverberate for a decade or more. From there they break down alleged data leaking out that potentially proves the elections were rigged. Claims about noncitizens on the rolls, mail-in ballots, and fabricated polls have circulated widely on social media, even as officials and audits have found no evidence of outcome-changing irregularities. The guys close on a Democrat threatening to take Elon Musk’s businesses. With Democrats set to control Congress, lawmakers have signaled investigations into Musk’s role at DOGE and his companies’ federal contracts. Then JB Pritzker accepting praise for funding the DNC. The Illinois governor has poured tens of millions of his own money into Democratic candidates and causes this cycle, drawing positive notices from party figures as a potential 2028 contender. They wrap on the three finalists for replacing James Bond. Amazon MGM has reportedly narrowed the field for the next 007, with Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O’Connor among the leading names in contention.

The Dudes open on the Chicago Bears’ great season being overshadowed by their impending move. The team has been weighing Arlington Heights, a South Side proposal at the former U.S. Steel site, and a potential shift to Hammond, Indiana. Recent reports say they are close to a deal that would keep them in Illinois. That leads to a larger conversation about the Chicago White Sox and the talk of a possible relocation, including older Florida rumors that keep resurfacing. Later, the fellas dissect the Democrats’ midterm blue wave. On November 3, Democrats flipped seven Republican-held Senate seats, including wins in Texas with James Talarico, Kansas, South Carolina, Ohio with Sherrod Brown, Iowa, Maine, and North Carolina with Roy Cooper. They also took the House and picked up multiple governorships. Republicans failed to flip a single Democratic-held seat in the early counts. From there they break down the aftermath, including JD Vance attempting to distance himself from the Trump administration’s decision to go to war with Iran. In a post on X the day after the results, Vance wrote, “The reason we lost is the war. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so.” The guys close on the DSA calling for Chuck Schumer to step down as leader of the Senate. Progressive pressure has continued even after the wave delivered a Democratic majority, though Schumer says he has the votes to stay. Then white suburban women embracing Islam in the context of the shifting coalitions that helped deliver the night. They wrap on Abdul El-Sayed declaring Michigan the capital of Arab America. The new senator, the first Muslim elected to the chamber, made the comment at an Arab American summit days after his victory. He had already addressed Vance as “habibi” from the stage in Detroit.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: [email protected] If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/ CrosswireNews Same News | Different Views https://crosswirenews.com/

The Dudes open on their expectations for the midterm elections. One clear story is Abdul El-Sayed’s win in Michigan, making him the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. That turns into the larger conversation about the Pod Save America hosts telling Jews to vote for him. Co-host Jon Lovett said Jews in Michigan have a “moral obligation” to support El-Sayed, arguing that Trump’s rhetoric and rising hatred on the right pose the bigger threat. Exit polls of Jewish early voters in the state showed El-Sayed receiving roughly 57 to 60 percent, well below the support other Democrats on the ticket received. Later, the fellas dissect the WNBA denying Enes Kanter Freedom entry into the league. Freedom has been in an ongoing public dispute with the WNBA over its gender eligibility rules and seating at the Finals. He is now threatening to expose the NBA’s ties to China. On the Sage Steele Show he claimed he has recordings of conversations with Commissioner Adam Silver and league officials. He said officials threatened to ban him for wearing “Free Tibet” shoes and that Silver acknowledged China’s different system before adding “at the end, we are a business.” Freedom’s line: “People think what I’m doing with WNBA is a lot. Wait till what I’m going to do with NBA.” The guys close on the Pentagon’s doomsday scenario plan called FORTRESS. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled the initiative to keep major U.S. military bases operating independently for at least 90 days without outside support in a major war. It includes portable nuclear reactors, microgrids that can disconnect from the civilian grid, and strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, and supplies. Officials have said “power is combat now.” Then Playboy announcing the return of print publications. The magazine relaunched as a quarterly in 2026 under editor-in-chief Phillip Picardi, with recent covers including Karol G and Cara Delevingne. They wrap on Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson empathizing with Luigi Mangione.

The Dudes open on Macklemore’s Free Palestine concert series which turns into a larger conversation about the widespread destruction throughout the Gaza Strip.  Later, the fellas dissect the election results from Israel deciding Bibi Netanyahu’s political future. In the October 27 vote, Netanyahu’s bloc finished with 53 seats, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party took 48, and the Arab parties combined for a record 19. Neither side reached the 61 seats needed for a majority. From there it’s the exposed DNC-linked ploy to add a second Dan Sullivan to the Alaska ballot. A New York Times report detailed how Mary Peltola’s campaign and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee aides worked on what insiders called the “ballot composition project,” recruiting a retired teacher named Dan J. Sullivan to run against incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan. The goal was to confuse voters. The guys close on the legend of Pop Warner’s dirty tricks — the early football coach who built his reputation on schemes that walked right up to the edge of the rules. Then midterm elections predictions with the races still being counted and called. Next is the old Anita Hill allegation against Clarence Thomas from the 1991 confirmation hearings, the line about who put pubic hair on his Coke can. Thomas denied every claim and was confirmed. They wrap on the FBI raid connected to Eric Swalwell. On October 27 agents searched the Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire donor Stephen Cloobeck as part of the investigation into the former congressman, who resigned in April amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Earlier warrants had already hit Swalwell’s D.C. home and seized devices at San Francisco International Airport.

The Dudes open on James Talarico’s strange interest in drag queens. When asked at a campaign stop to name his favorite drag queen in Texas, he answered without hesitation: “Oh my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.” Alyssa Edwards is Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a performer who has described himself as a drag performer that works with children and owns a dance studio. Talarico has also said Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation and previously stated that “God is nonbinary” and that there are six biological sexes. That turns into the larger conversation about the rise of transgender-identified children among Hollywood elites.  Later, the fellas dissect the rise of misogynistic new-age Gen Z manosphere influencers. The looksmaxxing wave, heightmaxxing, and black-pill framing of dating have moved from niche corners into mainstream visibility. From there it’s Clavicular joining the PBD Podcast. On episode #880 he sat with Patrick Bet-David and Antonio Sabàto Jr. to debate the spectrum of men capable of picking up women. They covered looks versus money, the male loneliness crisis, and the risks of extreme self-improvement. At one point Clavicular admitted Sabàto “mogs” him. The guys close on food bringing more joy than partying in the elder years — a good meal with the right people eventually beats the late nights. Then growing up in the nineties when everything was extreme: the music, the fashion, the sports, the lack of filter. They wrap by reminding everyone listening to go out and vote in this midterm election. November 3 is here.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: [email protected] If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/ CrosswireNews Same News | Different Views https://crosswirenews.com/

The Dudes open on worldwide warnings of impending cyber attacks. Recent hits include major banks in South Korea, a $6.3 billion Binance theft the FBI tied to North Korea, and Russia and Ukraine emergency apps that pushed fake nuclear alerts. Experts warn AI tools now let almost anyone become a capable attacker. That turns into the larger conversation about Orthodox Jewish communities receiving tax-supported funding to study full-time instead of work. In Israel, benefits for the Haredi sector have exceeded spending on hospitals and higher education combined, while male employment rates have stayed low under the existing incentives. Later, the fellas dissect Democrat Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan Senate. Stevens lost the August primary to Abdul El-Sayed, then on November 1 appeared with Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit and said she was no longer welcome in his campaign. The rift centered on Israel and an outside ad she called antisemitic. Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel called it a betrayal two days before the election. From there it’s democratic socialists aligning themselves against the world’s wealthiest elites. The guys close on Abdul El-Sayed’s comments about Pete Hegseth’s youth athletic history. On Hasan Minhaj’s show El-Sayed suggested Hegseth was mostly a bench player whose parents still cheered hard for him. Hegseth’s actual record at Forest Lake High School included all-state basketball and school records for three-pointers. Hegseth’s father responded that El-Sayed had “little man syndrome.” Then mail-in ballots and the argument that they have undermined confidence in elections in Democratic strongholds. They wrap on Ted Cruz appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher. Cruz praised Maher’s monologue about Trump (“that was funny as hell”) and got Maher to concede that Texas Democrat James Talarico is a woke radical. Kid Rock was also on the panel.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: [email protected] If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/ CrosswireNews Same News | Different Views https://crosswirenews.com/

The Dudes open on Barack Obama hitting the midterm campaign trail in the final stretch before November 3. That turns into the larger conversation about the Bush family staying quiet on the sidelines after leaving office. No rallies, no running commentary. The contrast is the point: one former president is still the closer, the other family largely disappeared from the public stage. Later, the fellas dissect the conservative reaction to the Cheesecake Factory scandal. At a Cleveland rally Obama said Trump has “got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” MAGA treated the line as an elitist attack on a middle-class chain. From there it’s Bill Maher defending his second dinner with President Trump. The October 15 White House meal also included Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock. On Real Time Maher opened with “Yeah, I did it again, bitches” and “Fuck you. I like these dinners.” He said he challenged Trump on several topics and that Trump never lost his temper. Trump later posted a long rant calling Maher a complete and total loser. The guys close on JD Vance’s fading chances for a 2028 presidential run, Clavicular giving young men advice on wearing lifts and heightmaxxing without getting called out and the death of classic dating in the online dating universe — apps, filters, and the shift from meeting someone to optimizing for the algorithm.
