 I think that most people watching this are much smarter than the average political consumer, so you're welcome for the compliments. But you all know that right-wing propagandists are constantly saying idiotic things. They're spreading misinformation, making dumb comments, and that's why they're on our radars. But sometimes, on rare occasions, they'll say something so idiotic that even a fellow right-wingers will pounce on them because what they're saying is so ludicrous that it makes other right-wingers look terrible. Now that is not super common, obviously, but it does happen nonetheless. For example, Ben Shapiro called on Candace Owens after she defended Kanye West's anti-Semitism. Tommy Loren and Candace Owens got into a public feud on Twitter over Caitlyn Jenner. Candace Owens also got into a spat with Steven Crowder after he attacked the Daily Wire because they offered him a $50 million contract and he thought that that number was insultingly low. Yeah. So they fight from time to time. I think that a lot of the times, they'll try to hide their true feelings in order to keep the peace, but sometimes there is right-wing infighting. And today is one of those times, folks, because Charlie Kirk is now being called out by fellow right-wingers of all people for taking his Trump sick of fancy too far. Now, yes, Charlie Kirk is known to lick and even deep-throw Trump's boot at times, but even I've got to admit that this time, he went much further than usual. So in this clip that you're about to watch, he's going to not so subtly suggest that Ron DeSantis should, I don't know, maybe drop out of the presidential race and then donate all of his super PAC money to Donald Trump. He's actually going to say this when nobody has casted a vote yet, but nonetheless, let's watch and make the case. While the Democrats are currently pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into ballot-chasing, voter registration, they have hundreds of full-time staffers in Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia. Every point action has a couple dozen. We're doing the best we can. We know of no other full-time organizers out there. The RNC certainly doesn't have them. Ron DeSantis' super PAC, sitting on $110 million, has just said that they are doing a $12 million ad placement right now to support Ron DeSantis. I think Ron DeSantis is a great governor. Why is he trying to ruin his political career right now? Spend that money to help us win in the general. How are you buying ads to make consultants rich in Iowa? Just say, look, I'm going to go be governor of Florida and turn Florida into the most Republican state and I'm going to deploy my $100 million to help us defeat Joe Biden. He would be hero status in the Republican Party, win or lose. He would look magnanimous. He would look like a confident leader. He would look like he is bigger than just the personal pettiness that's going on right now. Instead, you might as well just burn that money. Donald Trump will be the nominee, absent and unforeseen black swan event. We need that money as a movement right now and you're lighting it on fire. Lighting it on fire. This is why the Democrats are so confident. They're so cocky. Indite Trump, weigh him down, make the Republicans fight amongst themselves, burn the money, do the boring stuff in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia and squeak out a win. And meanwhile, we're worried about a vanity project. It's got to change very soon. I welcome right-wing hatred for DeSantis because I think that he is a demon, perhaps literally. But this is such an insane tech. It's so entitled and it proves that Trump cultists really don't care about democracy. It's all about Trump, Trump, Trump and that's it. Everyone else is just in the way and it's pathetic, right? Even if Trump is almost certainly going to become the GOP nominee, there is still inherent value in allowing the Democratic process to play out even if I don't like any of the candidates because we live in a democracy. And if you think that the Democratic process should be subverted because something is inevitable, then congratulations. You don't care about democracy. I mean, imagine if a different Republican said the same thing. Imagine if they argued that Trump should actually be the one to drop out and give them all of their money since he's been indicted four times and, you know, he poses a danger to Republicans' electoral chances in the general. I mean, do you think that Charlie Kirk would have a well-reasoned response to that? Of course not. And scoff at the mere recommendation that somebody else not pay absolute fealty to Donald Trump. He'd call it election interference or some bullshit like that because to people like Charlie Kirk, Trump is a God, right? And when I say that this is a cult, I really mean it. This is an actual cult and anyone who isn't with them is against them. That's the mentality. But having said that, though, I've got to be totally honest, I am really glad that Charlie Kirk said this because it ended up stoking a lot of infighting on the right, which I think is a good thing, right? America wins when fascists fight each other. So here's what right-wingers said in response to this and spoiler alert, they did not take kindly to Charlie Kirk's recommendation. For example, fellow right-wing propagandist Bill Mitchell tweeted, Charlie Kirk needs to lay off the crack. Conservative commentator Stephen Miller, not that one, the other one, mocked the suggestion saying, give us your money, raw meatball. Red State writer Bonci responded saying, dude, just stop. Right-wing influencer, Just Mindy says, that'll be a no. John Cardillo responded saying no. And in response to that, Tommy Lorenc dragged him saying, this is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Trump is not a king. He's not God. He's not our Lord and Savior. He has to win the nomination just like anybody else. Now, predictably, Tommy Lorenc's jab at Charlie Kirk triggered a lot of backlash itself because these MAGA chuds did not want to hear what they need to hear. And that is that they are in a cult and they do treat Donald Trump as if he is a deity. And that's very unhinged. But regardless, they lashed out, they attacked Tommy Lorenc and suggested that she's out of touch because she doesn't view this entire election in the same way that Charlie Kirk does. Here's a couple of examples. Tommy continues to put her inability to connect with the America first voter on full display for 40 plus million of us to see. Tommy, you blocked. I stood with you after Gen Beck fired you for being a 1B conservative who believes in killing babies. But now it's over. Oh, you lost him, Tommy. Keep wasting your time with your bull crap candidate that's falling faster than Christ Christie in the ocean. People are sick of establishment rhinos and want Trump back. The MAGA donors are useless as they are more concerned with their vanity candidates that'll do their bidding over supporting an effort to unify the party against the Marxist Democrats and fund ballot chasing operations and other legal means to ensure victory. But no, we have to do everything possible to destroy Trump and the MAGA movement. It must suck to ride the Murdoch's duck like a motorcycle and kiss Suzanne Scott's ass every day. So it looks like she disturbed the beehive and now the MAGA chuds are coming after her big time. Now to give you some additional context, the MAGA chuds were already disillusioned with DeSantis especially because of a comment that he made a couple of weeks ago where he referred to Trump cultists as listless vessels. And that comment is being compared to Hillary Clinton's basket of deplorables comment but let's listen. We have a stream in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you are a rhino or not. And so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread unless you're kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a rhinos. You're not rooted in principle. If all we are is listless vessels that's just supposed to follow whatever happens to come down the pike on truth social every morning, that's not gonna be a durable movement. So he is basically calling Trump supporters NPCs. And guess what? He's not wrong. Neither was Hillary Clinton when she made her basket of deplorables comment because for all intents and purposes, this is a political cult and they further demonstrate that every single day, right? Because if you are going to continue to support this rapist former president who was impeached twice and indicted four times, despite all of the baggage, despite the lies, despite the election lies in particular, despite his attempt to overturn the US election, that I'm sorry, listless vessel or basket of deplorables, those are kind descriptions for these people. But Fox News hosts took issue with that comment specifically because they didn't think that it was very savvy for Ron DeSantis to say that. And that I would agree with strategically, it's not very smart even if he's not technically wrong. Now, Tommy Loren, she also said that it wasn't necessarily politically savvy, but she still did try to defend DeSantis from that. Let's listen. It was not a good comment to make and I'm sure he is kicking himself. I'm sure he wishes he could rephrase it. Now, what I heard him say is maybe a kernel of the truth and I'll tell you what, I believe he was trying to get across and he failed at it. I think what he was trying to say is this, I am not a rhino simply because I am running against Donald Trump. I think that's what he wanted to say. And I think further what he wanted to say where he messed up horribly with the listless vessels comment and it brings like a deplorable is what he should have said is, listen, I understand that you follow Trump because you love him and he loves his policies and you see what's going on with him and you see the indictments and the sham and the witch hunt. However, we need to look beyond that and just what we're talking about with all of the circus of chaos and indictments and understand that we as a movement have to be durable. We have to live beyond Donald Trump and we have to have the America first policies be our bedrock. Now, that's what he should have said. Unfortunately, he did not say it that way and it's going to hurt him. It's going to bruise him badly but he has had to walk landmines. He is the only Trump competitor maybe outside of Mike Pence a little bit who has had to navigate the MAGA supporter because Trump does not attack any of his other competitors the way he attacks Ron DeSantis. Vivek will go on and he will take shots at Trump but Trump will never take a shot at him because he doesn't see him as a threat. What the Trump campaign did masterfully before DeSantis even announced was labeled him a disloyal Benedict Arnold Rhino out the gate and he's been unable to escape that. I know, but the fact is when you're 40% down on the other guy's movement you need chunks of that movement to be competitive and to win. I don't necessarily disagree with that and I think that Tommy LaRanne even though she was fair in her commentary there it was pretty obvious that she was bending over backwards to make DeSantis look better. She really tried to, I guess, finesse his comments and make it seem less insulting to Trump supporters and provide viewers with additional context about how DeSantis has been trying to navigate these attacks from Donald Trump and still run his campaign and govern and yada yada. And that's also correct. The problem is that Trump supporters reject all nuance, right? And they demand unequivocal loyalty 100% of the time. So the mere possibility that DeSantis would dare insult this cult is not gonna stand ever and he is permanently canceled in their eyes because of that. So she's not gonna get through to them. And I think that the problem is she knows that she can't get through to them which is why she's probably really frustrated with MAGA cultists. But having said that though if you're a Trump supporter you're not wrong to think that Tommy LaRanne is in the tank for DeSantis because she interviewed him on her podcast Fearless and she expressed frustration with Trump supporters who attack her for flirting with the idea of voting for DeSantis over Trump. So let's watch. Before we get into some other policy things I do have to address the elephant in the room because governor I don't know if you know this about me but I have been a long time Trump supporter. In fact, I think I was one of the first people on the Trump train. I campaigned for him through my commentary through the 2016, 2020. I've been a vocal supporter of President Trump. However, I have gotten a lot of flack because I have looked at you and your candidacy and what you've done in Florida and it's impressed me. So the natural thing has been the Trump supporters are very angry with me for this and for telling the truth. But because I do also represent a lot of Trump supporters I have to ask you this because this is what I constantly get question on. What do you say to those Trump supporters who say we like Ron DeSantis we wish he would have waited till his 2028 turn. What do you tell those people? Well, first of all in America we don't have turns. People can run if they believe they have something to offer the country. Like fascism, hmm, sounds very enticing but I think I'll pass putting boy. Now, she had to preface that question by saying, look, I was a huge Trump booster, okay? I don't know if you know this about me governor but I was actually one of the earliest people to be on the Trump train. I love that caveat there because it's like, oh, well, who did you support instead of Trump? Were you a huge Jeb Bush fan? If you're a right winger, you have to support Trump if you want any sort of relevance whatsoever. There's a reason why Glenn Beck went from being an anti-Trump or doing segments with fucking Samantha Bee to licking Trump's boots as well and laughing as he says he's gonna arrest his political opponents if he's elected again. You have to play the game if you wanna be relevant at all. So she has to do this tap dance because she knows how dedicated Trump supporters are. So you're either with them or against them. She knows this and she's trying to walk that fine line but you can't do that. This is a cult and they have the cult mentality so they're not going to accept nuance. And I think that that rigidity has really bothered Tamila Ren for quite some time because there's just no winning with them, right? Unless you pledge your undying loyalty to Trump, they're going to attack you. And that frustration that she's feeling because of this reality has seemingly bubbled up to the surface after she saw Charlie Kirk make that comment. So she's opening herself up to criticism and Charlie Kirk is as well to be clear. But my hope is that this discourse causes an even bigger rift between the Trump and DeSantis bases because that rift is good for America, right? And just stop for a moment and juxtapose this primary with the 2020 Democratic Party primary. We were talking about healthcare and student debt cancellation and worker rights and climate change whereas now what is the GOP talking about? They're talking about personalities and loyalty to Donald Trump and who isn't as loyal to Trump and rhinos and bullshit like that. And the reason why they don't talk about policy substance is because they know their ideas are unpopular, hence why they're always concocting new distractions. But don't take it from me. A data for progress poll shows that a majority of voters oppose most of the policies proposed by Republicans at the first Republican debate. 67% of Americans oppose shutting down the Department of Education, 58% oppose breaking up teachers unions, 53% oppose an invasion of Mexico, 52% oppose pardoning Trump and independence are right in line with other likely voters. And on top of that, anecdotal examples suggest that anti-trans policies also aren't a winning issue for Republicans and we know that abortion isn't a winning issue for them either. So what they're left with is this nonsensical bullshit about low corporations or Hunter Biden's laptop or what aboutism when it comes to the Democrats. But in conclusion, fascist fighting is a net win for America. So I say, let them fight and celebrate it whenever it happens. Excuse me. Vagina.
