TLDR: Guests Glenn Kirschner, John Fugelsang, and Frangela discuss an unspecified topic.

The latest episode of the Stephanie Miller Show features lively discussions with guests Glenn Kirschner, John Fugelsang, and Frangela, centering on recent events and controversies surrounding Trump's administration and its handling of air traffic safety. This week's episode tackles disturbing claims made by Trump, the ramifications of diversity policies, and the overall state of governance in the U.S.
Key Topics Covered
1. The Crisis in Air Traffic Safety
- The episode begins by addressing a recent air traffic incident linked to staffing shortages within the FAA, highlighting the serious implications of a hiring freeze and the removal of many experienced personnel during Trump’s administration.
- Trump's response to the incident has been criticized as he attempts to shift the blame to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, despite evidence confirming that these policies have received support from various administrations, including his own.
2. Trump’s Callousness in the Face of Tragedy
- Participants criticized Trump’s remarks following the air traffic incident, where he trivialized the situation, showing a blatant disregard for the victims and their families. The discussion emphasizes a pattern in Trump's behavior of blaming others while failing to take responsibility for his administration's actions.
- Glenn Kirschner pointed out that the tragically high death toll from recent accidents can be traced back to Trump's previous decisions to disband safety committees and reduce staffing levels at the FAA.
3. Dissecting the DEI Narrative
- The podcast hosts collectively condemn Trump's framing of the issue as a consequence of diverse hiring practices. They clarify that these DEI measures were instituted to promote a safer and more inclusive aviation industry, not the opposite as Trump suggests.
- The conversation pivoted to examine how right-wing narratives manipulate the DEI discussion, using it as a scapegoat for broader failures in the aviation sector.
4. The Dynamics of the Modern Media and Political Landscape
- The episode highlights how mainstream media has struggled to report accurately on Trump’s claims and the unfolding events. There’s a call for media outlets to hold Trump accountable rather than allowing him to redirect blame elsewhere.
- The hosts emphasize the need for Democrats to be proactive in addressing and countering false narratives perpetuated by Trump and his supporters.
Key Takeaways
- Hold Accountability: It’s crucial to hold political leaders accountable for their actions and the real impact those actions have on public safety and governance.
- Understand DEI Policies: Engage with the facts surrounding DEI initiatives, as they aim to enhance organizational effectiveness rather than detract from safety and merit.
- Passion for Justice: As Glenn Kirschner eloquently states, the fight for American democracy and accountability is ongoing, requiring vigilance and perseverance by every citizen.
Conclusion
The episode of the Stephanie Miller Show provides a passionate and informative overview of the potential dangers arising from political negligence under the Trump administration. The ensuing discussions about accountability, media responsibility, and the effect of diversity policies on public safety resonate strongly in the current political climate. The insights shared serve as a call to action for listeners to remain vigilant and engaged in defending democracy and advocating for rational governance.
Was this summary helpful?
It's the Stephanie Miller Show.
Do you have any indication that anybody involved, whether pilots or air traffic controllers with this incident, was hired or recruited based on DEI policies? Not only do I not have any information the president was asked whether he had any evidence backing up that outrageous and stomach-turning claim and he had to acknowledge he did not.
Good morning. Hi. Happy Friday. Oh, hi. Happy Friday. Did you actually say Friday in our social media tweet? I did say Friday.
I was saying, Chris, before the show, if you tried to construct a semi-human as grotesque and despicable as Donald Trump, I don't think you could do it. Could you do it in your screenwriting class, Bella? I don't think so. No, I don't think so. I don't have it in me.
I mean, I just, when you think there's no low, by the way, he's getting out ahead of even how awful we think he is. Isn't it? Remember yesterday, before his ridiculous press conference, I'm like, if this had happened under Biden, they would blame, you know, getting Biden and Buttigieg and blah, blah, blah. Right. And then on cue, they still blame Biden and Buttigieg. Even though it happened. I think they used the term DEI hire for Buttigieg.
Right. Right. Correct. But then what was the latest? Oh, I'm sorry. I just, there was one more story this morning if you weren't done with your grotesque. All right. Most horrible human in the universe. Okay. He was asked if he's going to visit the, and he said, the crash site. Yeah. Right. And he said, what, this, this, the water? You want me to go swimming?
I can't. This FCC license is really, it's just going to be swinging by a light, a tiny thread this morning because I don't. Okay. Oh, he also added the helpful thoughts that the crash occurred on a cold cold night with cold water. Thank you. Thank you. I think we knew that.
Right. Well, no, we didn't know previously. You remember the hurricane and Puerto Rico was very wet from the standpoint of water. So he always has very helpful water related information. OK, so where do I start? By the way, I have a very prescient guess the quote for you. OK, this was last week, wrong before the crash. Let's do it.
Who said no matter what people motivated anybody's vote, if you didn't think you were voting to cut firefighting, if you didn't think you were voting to cut meat inspections, if you didn't think you were voting to cut air traffic control, well, it's all becoming very, very clear now. Minnie Mouse. No, that was Rachel Maddow last week because it is directly responsible. Of course, all the new reporting. That is Clyde barking at lint. Stop drawing attention to it.
The point is America is in danger, girl. And Clyde is correct and very smart. All the reporting we knew was going to come out, first of all, proving everything he says is a lie. It really is almost to the point of comedy that he blamed Obama. I see the black guy. And then everything that he said is proved to be a complete lie, right? He didn't change any Obama policy. In fact, he enacted, right? He pushed for the same
What do you call? Yeah. He did. Thank you. Yes, I sent you a story about it. Right. Trump launched air controller diversity program that he now decried. I mean, he's just pathetic. He's such a despicable pathetic human. I can't. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, Bella. Are you have you located the liar cannon yet? Just anywhere here. I'll start. I'll start and then you finish. You sit on a throne of lies. Good.
Okay, Bonnie Clyde is on it. He has that piece of lint secured. You don't need to help. See, look at Bonnie's too lazy to go see because she knows it's nothing. She's just like, I'll be here on backup if you need me, but I know there's a I know it's nothing. She knows that Clyde isn't bright. No, she does not. She's being a helper, but she's a lazy helper. Let me know if it's really serious. I'll be here.
Okay, body back. Okay, so where was I? I don't even I. Trump started the DEI or DEI. Yes, yes, but it's just I all the stuff we knew that it was understaffed. The air controller was, you know, directing planes and the helicopters. That's supposed to be two jobs. This is this is Trump. This is all on Trump. I
This was, by the way, speaking of stuff before, 14 hours before the crash, Thomas tweeted an FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called quote unquote buyouts and other attacks on federal employees want to help. Remember the fact when the flight delays or crashes at question mark, commence, and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.
Oh my god. I mean, we had to go find the story about him firing all the way yesterday to go like, yeah, I remember when Bonnie Uncle Chris is very distressed. I'll give you a bribery business if you shoot. I'm not distressed. I'm just like fascinated that this is a real radio program. Well, you know, how we roll in our basement. Are you impressed with our professionalism, Bella?
Yes, very. Oh, well, good. Let me read, let me read another. This is actually the, I was up at all night at Sartis. Oh. Waiting for the review of our first week with the baby Bella. Okay. Who I'm not supposed to call baby Bella. She doesn't like it. I forgot. I'm sorry. Bad Estella. Bad Estella. Right. Thank you. Okay. All right.
Uh, Brian, love letter, here's another love letter, but with Bethelman, I was gonna wait till after Friday's show, but something happened to your show after last week. It's as if, uh, some TV talk show that went on hiatus for the summer and a consultant came in, one who knows what they're doing and not the typical corporate, uh, uh, suit disaster artists and did a full reboot, changing the energy and flow, which by the way, Chris is amazing. The energy between you two is great and flows right into my next revamp. The new ray of sunshine peeking out from behind the fart machine soundboard, the final reboot,
slid right in there like she's been doing this for 20 years. Wow. The new show is flawless, flows like such a beautiful facelift that's so perfect. No one notices not the corporate consultant type facelift that comes out looking like some terrifying frozen clown face. Brian. Thank you, Brian. Stephanie Miller show has has had a facelift and a vaginal rejuvenation. Okay. And we appreciate.
Wow. Not since Chugkamisky had such a spectacular hire. So you and I have actual chemistry now? You are disturbingly close to me. I'm used to you just the right trajectory to throw the stapler at you. You're a little, you're disturbingly close. Okay, that's what's thrown us off. So like most bullies, see I'd back off because you're closer.
All right, I was just, that was a seamless thing to the bully that is. This is what it's gonna be. We're not even two weeks in and just a giant lying bully to me. It just literally, how can he make this worse? Everything that happens, how can I make this worse? How can I blame someone else? And this is entirely his fault. I mean, it is, okay.
all over the, which of whose it's the, uh, Twitter's. I mean, it is just, uh, as you get that. Yes. Oh, Elliot Lustig said, uh, we said people would die if Trump goons gutted federal administration. Uh, but for this to happen as a midair collection, not two weeks into his term, unreal. Trump and Elon Musk are already getting people killed. The crash is a direct result of deliberate, deliberately wrecking these agencies.
I don't think we heard that by the end of the show yesterday that Elon Musk pushed out the head of the FAA because he had wanted to find SpaceX for safety violations for his exploding Nazi penis rockets as JoJo from Juris calls them.
I mean, this is what happened. That's why there was no head of the FAA yesterday, because there isn't one, right? And where would, by the way, where was Drunky MacRaepe? He wasn't there. What do you call it? Real world guy was there, Sean Duffy. Seriously, people already say, was he drunk? Where was he? The crash happened at 9 p.m. Where was he for like 12 hours? You scared? Oh my God. Yeah, by the way, Karen from Chicago, smartest girl in class today. Hi, Karen.
would you just forget she said remember what happened after felon 47 dismantled the pandemic response team. We now know what will happen after he dismantles the aviation safety advisory committee and we can expect more disasters. I was going to book a flight to go see my oldest sister yesterday. I'm scared to fly. I think it's going to affect air travel.
under the Trump administration. I'm supposed to be going to DC for a friend's anniversary party in August, and I want to fly into DCA. Should I? I don't know. Yeah, but this is what... Right? Yes! Oh, Bella's getting some of that Jody Hamilton sort of blind ambition. She's ready to shove you out already. New technical director and executive director Bella. Wow. Wow, that was fast.
So now, like most elderly employees, we both have people trying to push us up. So see, we'll further bond over that. Yeah, great. Now I could never. Yeah, we'll bond over that in the gutter outside because we have no place to live.
Yeah, you'll get used to that. I'm a snorter. Oh, you've already, you've already was stood several of my burps and without, you heard Facebook registered barely any alarm. Well, you wolf down whatever that is. Well, because you keep putting me on camera. People don't realize how really late you like I am normally. We have like what a minute and a half during commercials to eat our breakfast. It was like, yeah. I mean, you're using the word breakfast loosely.
I don't like breakfast foods. I don't like sweet things. It is a baked potato with low-fat cottage cheese and grape tomatoes, and it's delicious. Thank you for asking America. It looks like a Sunday. Yes, it does. It's delicious and nutritious. All right, can you stop getting me off track? Isn't your job supposed to be to keep me on track? That's the sparkling chemistry that people have been writing in about. Stop shingling shiny keys. I'm like, what? What? It's cottage cheese. Oh. We have chemistry, damn it.
This is important people are dying. I just I Okay, I'll be back here Norm It says if the FAA director got fired over a business beef and there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze Despite huge shortages and a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy And then a week within a week the first American airline of crashes in 16 years would be you would be insane not to talk about it This is what I was saying is like they already they cow Democrats in all tone. This is too early to politic really
He did exactly what I told you he was gonna do politicized it blame people I mean, it's it's and meanwhile They're all these completely valid reasons You know that this happened under his watch because of actual decisions. He just made Yeah, this is it. This is the story. I didn't
The move by Michael Whitaker means the FAA has no Senate confirmed leader for one of the biggest crises in history. Nobody has taken his place.
obviously SpaceX in September Whitaker had proposed fines of more than $600,000 for SpaceX prompting must to demand his resignation and promise to sue. So there you have it. He pushed out the head of the FAA, right? Trump did a hiring freeze and here you go. This was like
First that yesterday I saw, New York Times reporting the initial FAA report states the reason for the Plains collision is not normal staffing in the control tower. It said nothing to do with DEI. But it's just, what a surprise, the most racist president ever, if it blames, you know, black or brown people. If anything, based on no evidence of any kind. If anything, it's Trump getting rid of DEI requirements and, you know, lessening the pool of potential talent.
Yes, thank you. Greg, if you want a timeline, January 20th, FAA Director of Fire, January 21st, air traffic controller hiring a frozen, January 22nd, Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded. Carol is right. It's like he disbanded the pandemic response thing, and then what happened? We had an effing pandemic.
The million Americans died, right? January 28th, buyout retirement demand sent to existing employees. January 29th, first American mid-air collision in 16 years, making America great again.
Oh, my God. Okay. Um, yeah. God. Oh God. When God tweets, you need to listen. Oh, yeah. God tweeted. Donald is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on DEI with zero evidence. He's attempting to use racism to deflect in the fact that it's his fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It's been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington, DC because of him.
Yeah, what's that gonna do to the economy and the travel industry, right? I seriously didn't book my flight yesterday because I thought, oh my God, this is what it's gonna be like under Trump, just chaos and competence. I don't even, where do we even start with Tulsi Gabbard and Cash Patel and oh my God. All right, we'll get to all of it. Glenn Kirschner, John Fugle saying, fragile.
Stephanie Miller Talking to you to a voter Thank you nicely done Okay, you all right Bonnie does look sad. She looks sad for America Bonnie has Bonnie has big watery eyes And when she comes and stands on my chest every morning and looks directly into my soul She always looks like she just saw a really sad movie and she wants to tell me about it
And then, the dog died at the end. That's what doesn't look like that. She just watched Marley and me? That's what I said. You just watched a sad movie? Was it Marley and me? I told you not to watch that.
As much as I love dogs, I never want to watch dog movies because I'm like, I know the dog dies at the end. It happens in every dog movie. Yes. I can't do it. Uh, rival dimension posts, four words Republicans never use. How can we help? Four words Republicans have on repeat ad nauseam. Here's who's to blame war words Donald Trump uses all the time. I take no responsibility. Yeah.
It's and we were saying we're fresh from it how here in LA him coming out here and blaming other people and and being a giant bag of to everybody so this is not a surprise and But like you said nobody they just all echo the talking points that oh, it's DEI it's DEI when it it's just I can't even get to the depths of how
Okay, despicable, that is. Okay, by the way, Buggy said the same thing we said yesterday. The only investigation of Trump administration will run on the plane crashes to see if any woman minority gay or transgender were involved at all, so they'll know who to blame it on. I said that, do you trust any investigation under this? Who came out yesterday and said, oh, Tulsi Gabbard's FBI background check was clean as a whistle. I'm like, oh, really? You trust Trump's FBI.
Uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, yeah. This, how about just this exchange tells you everything. Aaron Rupart posted it. Reporter to Sean Duffy. Is there an acting FAA director? Duffy walks away. Uh, the FAA, Aaron says the FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk over a business thing because, oh, I don't know. He wanted to have him have some crazy, you know, safety regulations at SpaceX.
uh... christopher said this isn't d e i it's deadly short staffing new in f a a report says one air traffic control was working to positions during the crash the position configuration was not normal for the time of day and the volume of traffic uh... lives are at stake and they know it uh... uh... let's go to lacretia in milwauky hello lacretia oops did i do that well yes thank you for the chrisia go ahead hello hi welcome on the
You always start to get used to the sweaty church war. This is our sweaty church war. We have a giggling horn in Maryland, and this is the sweaty church war from Milwaukee. I love it. Just keep your horse straight. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Oh, and Jody's our favorite horse. She'll be back on Tuesday. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Drunkerton, head step, positive celebrations. Of course, I mean, tell me you're a racist piece of crap without saying you're a piece of crap. Of course, she was just in pause holiday, such as black holidays,
in the Holocaust days of remembering. Give me an asking, right? Yeah, I'm tired of my chiffon west from the stupidity from this administration. Yeah, I hear you. You'll always need to have your finger on the dump button for that particular whore, Bella, just FYI. Okay, Glenn Kirschner next.
You had the president of the United States trying to blame people for political reasons or cast dispersions on folks alleging that they were DEI hires. I mean, can you imagine a more damaging thing to hear if you're suffering already than a president trying to make political hay out of something like this? They were still searching for bodies in the Potomac when he was running off at the mouth about this.
Thank you, Kobe. We just mentioned this. The people who were playing politics while California was burning and responders were literally searching for bodies are now saying we should not be playing politics in the midst of a tragedy because their cult leader would be blamed.
and borrow which report says who would have guessed we'd see this much chaos from a man who told the country to drink bleach okay uh... uh... please i need my handsome hero thank god what were you as a tourniquet here former thirty-year federal prosecutor
Who had answered the call for his country once again? MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirchner. Here's some blue-eyed Glenn Kirchner.
Ah, well, sending lemon light to you there in DC, Glenn, I'm sure it is extra traumatic being up close there. I just took that beautiful flight over the Potomac into Reagan airport a couple weeks ago, as you know. I feel like I need to just talk to you as a human first before a prosecutor because I just, they're literally is a new low almost every hour, isn't there?
Yeah, we lost some men and women of the military. We lost a full passenger plane, full of family members, friends, neighbors, and Donald Trump. Not surprisingly said, I take no responsibility at all. You know, welcome to the age of
government lawlessness and callousness and indecency. I mean, you know, what I'm really angry with myself about stuff is I let Trump and his lawless cabal, you know, get my stomach tied in knots every day. And I try to untie it, but I want to share with everybody that all of us who are in this fight
for the soul of American democracy and for the rule of law are twisted up and nauseous every day and that's okay, it's not great, but it's okay. This is exactly where he wants us to be and we have to fight through it. We have to keep fighting with everything we've got and his irresponsibility, his incompetence and his imbecility, not only his but the people he surrounds himself with will be his downfall. It won't be quick and it won't be easy.
but the downfall will come and America will rise again. I'm convinced of it, but it's not going to be any time soon. Yeah. Can I just say Pete Dominic? Let's make a note who I love. All right. Comedian extraordinary. But he just echoes your point, Glenn. He said, this cycle will repeat daily. A tragic news event followed by an outrageous response from Trump and his supporters. The normal reaction to this is anger, sadness, and fear. Don't let them take your joy. It is so hard, but don't let them take your power.
I mean, that's what they want is just this despair and his shamelessness in going out and blaming Obama and Biden for something that just happened on his watch directly from his decisions and he thinks no one's going to talk about him letting Elon Musk push out the head of the FAA firing how many FAA employees gutting
right you're hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and then here comes right here comes the the you know uh... obviously the stories about that this happened uh... because it was understood that the air traffic control was understaffed right it happened on his watch it may have been a product of decisions he made in recent days it may not will have to await the results of the investigation and while they're still searching for victims in this recovery mission trying to find folks
to pull out of the freezing Potomac river and he's asked are you going to go look at the scene he said what scene it's water what do you want me to swim i mean it's beyond callousness uh it's beyond words and let me just give a shout out to my brother involved is pete dominick
The number of times I've kissed that man on his bald head and I'm not making this up. I'm not making it up. I can send you the pictures. They're like PG rated, but I love him and I respect and I admire him and he is a dear, dear friend. He's fantastic.
See, that is a secure straight man right there. Yep. Okay. Um, yeah, where do I, uh, str- uh, Jungk- uh, Andrew Juncker, sorry, said, uh, using the American Airlines' Black Hawk helicopter tragedy to trash Obama and Biden and praise himself is as malicious as it is typical of this narcissist. Shame on all of you who voted for Trump as president. This monster in his actions will be your responsibility forever.
Um, the other thing you happen to mention, yes, there were three United States service people killed. He hasn't said anything. Well, he did this morning. Oh, we did finally. Okay. He said something like, look, the helicopter was flying 200 feet too high. I may have the number up. Is that so hard to understand? I mean, the indecency and the callousness is so off the charge. And it's that he's going to alienate
everybody, even people who for whatever reason were supporting him previously, his downfall is coming. His downfall is coming one way or another. Yeah, go ahead. You know, we were saying this before even his.
just despicable press conference yesterday that, you know, if this had happened under Biden fill in the blank, you know, they would have called for criminal prosecution already had had Biden made the decisions Trump made that led directly to this. But here's our, our, you know, the problem. We don't trust any investigation done by the Trump administration is ever going to blame Trump for anything, right?
No, no, he has the power of lawlessness bestowed upon him by the Supreme Court. And that will be DOJ's top cover. It will be their excuse to say we can't criminally investigate a president, even though the American people see him committing crimes.
day in and day out because the supreme court said we can't and in a very real sense for his core constitutional presidential functions the supreme court said he can't be investigated or prosecuted that is that is what d o j will hide behind
Yeah. I knew this was coming. You said, let's recap. Trump's Department of Justice dismissed the classified documents case against Trump's code defendants, thereby protecting Trump. This would make the mafia blush. It's why you and I and a lot of people were screaming that they should, you know, Biden DOJ should have done this and released the classified documents report.
yeah and i'll say it's very hard as a former career prosecutor to say dio jay should have done the objectively wrong thing by dismissing national security prosecution in in essence against waltnada and carlos d'oliver they should have done the wrong thing
to get to the right result, which was releasing volume two of Jack Smith's report. And I understand why they couldn't bring themselves to do it, but how many times are they going to fool us and let Trump and his nefarious cabal take advantage?
Right. And by the way, this is why I know you get you're not the only legal expert that gets this, but I get so prickly people that go, Oh, Glenn's been wrong about everything. They're all wrong. It's like, Okay, first of all, none of none of you, none of us could ever have suspected we would be living in such a lawless America that you and a lot of our other esteemed legal experts
have spent your life, you know, working for the justice, you know, justice in America, rule of law. I don't think anybody could have predicted what the Supreme Court would do and all of that. So to go, oh, you know, Glenn's just selling Hopium or whatever. No, you're used to operating in a nation that actually is a nation of laws, not men, right?
And step I've been wrong and I welcome criticism. I don't run from it. I have been wrong when I explain how the rule of law is supposed to work, how it's designed to work and how I experienced it working for 30 years. And then it doesn't work that way.
because Trump wins again because he's got lots of people in place who are willing to do his dirty and corrupt bidding. That makes me, I guess, wrong in part. But I will continue to talk about how the rule of law is supposed to work. Because if we stop talking about that, we're going to lose sight of it. And then all is lost. It's only the rule of law that keeps our republic up and running it. The rule of law dies.
So does our Republican. Here's what I say to the people who yell at me online every day and say, Glenn, stop it. Justice doesn't matter. Just stop it. I say, you know, if justice didn't matter to you.
think you'd be so upset at the injustice. So you can yell at me, I can take it, but I'm going to keep talking about how it's supposed to work. Thank you. Thank you. And by the way, you tweeted about the, you know, January 6 part and one part and defendant already re arrested. Well, and there's two more dead that gotten to shootouts with police because they're violent criminals.
And that's, I'm sure not going to be, you know, I was thinking, is more General Milley getting his, you know, security removed? I'd say he's probably more a threat from MAGA than he is from Iran. You know, Trump has been on record to saying he should be executed for treason. And now he's got this whole stand back and stand by force that he's let out of prison, right?
And the Republicans let him do it. They let him endanger the lives of the Millies and the Fauci's and others. And then they let him pull their security detail. So, you know, ratchets up the danger to these people.
and he said he doesn't care if any harm comes that's a sociopath you you think this is somehow surprising his reaction to this uh... you know you but i'm sure he knows he was going he's going to take blue he knows what what led to this he knows he let Elon Musk push out the head of the FAA and did the gut of the you know uh... what he called that did the hiring freeze and all of that so of course he has to get out that's the only you can feel him going who can i blame who can i blame
right i mean that's that's all he's gonna ever do right i mean these chickens will come home to roost i don't know when but at some point they will and we're gonna we're gonna get america back on track it's just gonna it's gonna take a while it's gonna take the it's gonna take all of us being in this fight together for real
Yeah. Yeah. Burnett said it's barely been more than a week. And we've got bird flu, rising drug prices, soaring costs for gas and groceries, record egg prices, the biggest TB outbreak in history, and the biggest aviation disaster since 9-11. It's going to be a long four years. I mean, I can't even imagine that anyone wants this kind of chaos. Glenn, I mean, look at how Trump wants it. Trump, this is his goal. This is not a byproduct of bad policy decisions. This is his goal.
Burn it all down and then rule over the ashes. That's what he's trying to do. Let's talk about the OMB memo that this is by design. They want this to go to Trump's Supreme Court. He's doing stuff that's blatantly unconstitutional and illegal to bring court challenges, right? I mean any of us knows that the Congress has power of the purse, right?
And well, and it's the same with his, you know, trying to revoke the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship and a Reagan appointed judge within 24 hours said what Trump just did is quote blatantly unconstitutional. And where were the lawyers in the room when he was signing this? Yes, he's trying to get it all up to the Supreme Court. Step the question is,
Will the Supreme Court recognize the monster they helped create and actually try to be loyal to the Constitution and save the Republic or are they just going to let Trump tear it all down and give it all away? Yeah, no, it's true. I'm looking for the young Frankenstein drops because he's right.
it's exactly uh... so glenn yeah i would cause caroline leavitt the new white house press secretary literally said we believe the uh... uh... uh... uh... what do you call it the uh... birthright citizenship is unconstitutional it's literally in the constitution how is something that's in the constitution i mean alina habaldorn to bless you thank you alina habald literally said what's law it's up to the president what's legal
And you know what else is in the Constitution that an insurrectionist can't hold office again and the Supreme Court read that out of the Constitution and that a president must take care to faithfully execute the laws of the country and the Supreme Court read that out of the Constitution. So it's no surprise that Donald Trump is looking for a dirty trifecta hat trick of is Supreme Court saying the Constitution is unconstitutional?
Yeah. Yeah. This is where we are. I got to get your reaction to just wherever, whatever you think. Cash Patel, Tulsi covered. So Cash Patel, because the DOJ was my beloved home for decades. I'm going to try to do the top six hits on Cash Patel. He wrote a book called King Donald, the fantastical retelling of how Hillary tried to take down King Donald.
He had a court rule, a judge rule that he is, quote, not a credible witness. That is the death knell to the career of most people at the Department of Justice. He pled the fifth. He invoked the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when he was put in the grand jury and asked about Donald Trump's classified documents crimes. You're only allowed to plead the fifth if your truthful testimony would incriminate.
You he wrote a book government gangsters with an enemies list that he intends to carry with him to the Department of Justice Bill Barr said he will be in the leadership of the FBI quote over my dead body and he told the thousands of people at FBI headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue that I'm going to close y'all down on day one and open you up on day two as a museum of the deep state how in the bleep is this guy competent equipped
to be the director of the FBI. Yep. And now we're left wondering if, as Glenn said, the Supreme Court will do anything about the monster they created, or will they say? Over and over! It's the Stephanie Moon show. Okay.
oglan i'm i'm gonna leave you with uh... court needs uh... post she said the way the pendulum is going to swing back so hard in the other direction is going to be staggering and it will by the time this is all over there's gonna be nothing but red dust it might not happen soon enough for most of us same folks but it'll happen and it's going to be glorious i mean it's already happening and polling i'll give her the hell of the accord is course and i'll say we all need to be behind that pendulum
pushing it with all we've got because this is not sustainable and I believe Donald Trump will sort of cause his own demise politically speaking. Yeah, we love you, Glenn Kushner. Love you too, Steph. See you guys.
uh-oh here's that so the baby bell who were not supposed to call the baby bell as well who is twenty-two right matt tweeted yesterday please do not play sweet home alabama that is a he-right wing song okay let me just review i just googled sweet home alabama came out in nineteen seventy four bellow was born in two thousand two right so we were at we just asked for the young frankenstein drops uh-huh and i what year did that come out shawn nineteen seventy four nineteen seventy four
Yeah. All right. I like Sweet Home Alabama. I know. I know. I understand. I still like the song. I like some country music. I'm not going to let them take that. We have some Dolly in there. We have some Patty Lovelace in there. She calls Sweet Home Alabama country music. Well, that's cute. Redneck rock. Sure. They're not going to take that. We do need Neil Young around, by the way. OK, Rick. She did not get that reference.
I know, but you did. Oh, Grandpa. Well, yeah, see, see. Okay, Rick and Delaware. Hi, Stephanie. Oh, hi, go ahead. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes.
Yeah, you know what? We're going to have to put you on hope. Oh, by the way, because hang on one second, I just realized we came up with a, someone came up with a drinking game, which is fantastic. Oh, yes, we're going to need this. Steve said, Mama, just a thought. Every time Bella doesn't recognize an OG reference, you guys make. Will you all take a shot? Oh, yeah. I say let's go with that because we're going to need it just because of Trump. All right. Oh, I mean, we're going to be drunk. We're going to be blacked out. Yeah. All right. 58 minutes after the hour, John Fuqua was saying, and Fridays was fragile, all coming up on the Stephanie Miller show.
It's the Stephanie Miller Show.
The key point here is that what Trump did is illegal and unconstitutional. The power of the purse rests with Congress and not with the executive. You know, the founding fathers, fathers were pretty smart about that. They divided up the power.
Thank you, Senator Sanders. Oh, okay. Friday's with Frangela Friday's with Hugo Sam Hall coming up. We almost didn't have a Friday's with Frangela. I know, jury duty. Angela was, yeah, on hold for jury duty. All right. America, thanks you, Angela. But she was not called, and so she's going to be here today. Right, okay. All right, speaking of love, more love for baby Bella.
Welcome to Stupid America says, I enjoy the new team dynamic with the feisty Bella. She is feisty. She's got spunk. Yeah, she's got feist. Okay, Jerry post three days ago, or excuse me, eight days ago, Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head and 3000 air traffic controllers. Now American Airlines playing Clint collides with a black hawk.
I mean, I was saying to you, I thought this was before the crash, the drunkie MacRaepe, Pete Hegsef, said this. This was after the crash. They're still trying to blame DEI based on nothing.
We will have the best and brightest in every position possible. Really? As you said in your inaugural, it is colorblind and merit-based. The best leaders possible, whether it's flying Blackhawks and flying airplanes, leading platoons, or in government. The era of DEI is gone at the Defense Department, and we need the best and brightest, whether it's in our air traffic control, or whether it's in our generals, or whether it's throughout government.
Oh, my God. Yeah. This happened on your watch. That's right. With one of your Black Hawk helicopters under Trump's administration. I mean, I thought, again, I read this wrong. Here's a guess the quote for you. This will be from yesterday. OK, let's do this. The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a real winner. Do you know how badly everything has been run since he's run the Department of Transportation? He's a disaster, but he's got a good line of boot.
Who said that? Scrappy do. That was Trump. People would have just not the transportation secretary anymore. He did have some thoughts yesterday, by the way. People would have judged that.
I seriously thought I read that wrong. I'm like, I, he's, are they that dumb? He's going to come be Buttigieg is still the secretary of transportation. Uh, okay. Hold, please hold, please. Hang on. Buttigieg, slam Trump for his baseless claim that it was the Biden administration's diversity, equity, inclusion initiatives that are to blame for the crash.
He said despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew air traffic control and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who help keep our skies safe. Time for the president to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
They are just pathetic from the top down. And as you said, Chris, he gets, thank you, Peter Alexander. Journalism going, he brought this up in the press conference yesterday. Trump is just a liar. During Trump's first term, the FAA began a program to hire air traffic controllers with the conditions that Trump just decried. Trump launched the air traffic controller diversity program that he now decries is the headline.
In news conference Trump said Obama weakened standards and I changed the Obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary. Then they changed it back. That was Biden. Trump's claim was repeated in executive order. He signed with his big stupid dumb Sharpie. During my first term, my administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. That is false. In his first term, Trump left the standards unchanged. Good. Okay.
Moreover, the FAA under Trump in 2019 launched a program to hire controllers using the very criteria he just described at his news conference. Everything he says is a lie. He's trying to sell you that time, Sheriff Stephanie. Well, I didn't buy it. I didn't around and now I have to find out what everyone else.
Bell, I'm sorry. I wasn't always as big a bitch, but I'm gonna be as big a bitch. But not to you. You get a pass. You get a pass. Oh, that's all right. This is why the bell is feisty, because you have to be. You're born in this era. Oh, yeah. With all this, I can weight my hands about this. You were a pretty big bitch during George W. Bush. Oh, shut up. Okay. It was a war criminal. Republicans made me and then they made me mean. Okay.
Oh god, so as we mentioned earlier, staffing at the air traffic control at Ronald Reagan National Airport was not normal for that time of day and volume of traffic and turning to, according to an initial FAA review. The controller who was handling the helicopters in the airport's vicinity was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs are typically assigned to two controllers rather than one. Okay.
Oh, by the way our previous stem cell who now has aged out not you Sean Victor. She Oh, is he like 23 now? Whatever grandpa
What did he hang on? Hold please. I'll find it. Yes. He said, uh, he said we must remind our children. Oh, see, Victor thinks now people are OK. He graduated like I don't know more than a year ago. Didn't he last year? Didn't he from UCLA? Maybe he's the same age as Bella. Anyway, he said we must remind our children and the young people in our lives that the response we just saw from the commander chief is not normal. None of it's normal. That's not what a real leader does. This is what a monster, a deeply evil, cruel person does. Do not tolerate it. That's what we were saying that, uh,
people younger than belt like this is all they know they think this is what a president is i mean it's it's really kind of heartbreak is the first president you remember bellow
I mean, I feel like I gained consciousness during Obama, Obama administration, which was great. Oh, no wonder you're so deluded. Yeah. Aw, you kids. You're like, oh, look. She was born in a vat of opium. I feel bad for my sister. All she's known is Trump. Yeah. How old is your sister? 14. Oh, she's crude. OK.
I and it's just they're all like we just played. Oh, who is it? Dronky McRaepey? Oh, I think that's it. I think that's it. I think that's it. I think that's it.
Okay, that was a joke, Dylan. I shouldn't do penis jokes in front of the children. Yeah, she's heard of Hedwig in the Angry Inch. Oh, see? Okay. Only on reference, isn't it? Like, this is a radio show with the dustiest possible references. We hire the youngest possible person we could legally. Well, I mean, it makes for great bits. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, Elon Musk hired someone just out of high school to gut all the government agencies. So go well.
saying we spell it's qualified um... no but they're all uh... sociopath lieutenant uh... did you see this colonel cedrick leaton did you hear he said luckily there were no vip's on board the aircraft how would that not be a career ending statement for anyone else it's sociopaths the u.s. figure skating community would like to take issue with that comment
There were some things. But there's sociopaths. They're just, okay. McPhel says, sure, eggs are now $15 a dozen and planes are literally falling out of the sky, but at least he renamed the Gulf of Mexico. Okay. Oh, I was trying to get to Rick and Delaware. Sorry. Rick's been holding a long time. Hi, Rick. Sorry. Hi. Hi. I didn't want to slam you into a hard break. Go ahead. Thank you. Stephanie, you're probably much too young to remember this. Yes.
There were a Vietnam. There was a symbol that we used to fight the authority. It was called the peace sign. And you're wearing it around your neck. And to say, I got the idea, if all of us wore the peace sign around our neck or on a hat or on a t-shirt, it would give us solidarity with each other who would identify that you believe in peace just like we do. Yeah. And it's just like with the MAGA hats, we can turn that MAGA hat for them.
Turn it into the peace sign for us. There you go. There you go. I've always been a hippie. Always been a hippie beatnik. She doesn't know what that is. Okay. You were not a hippie at USC. No, no. You know what I was thinking? You know the cruel irony of this thing at Reagan Airport? Yeah.
Reagan famously fired all the air traffic controls. That's when a lot of this started. What it means to be a tough guy, but it was anti-worker. And he was going to start all the deregulation trickle down, a lot of the stuff that we're seeing now. And I'm sorry, Bella. I was a dumb US. I came from a Republican family. He seemed nice. I didn't know. He was a nice old man. I take full responsibility.
I ruined America for you, Bella. I'm sorry. You're welcome. I forgive you. It's OK. Thank you. Karen. Hi. Hello. Good morning. Yes. When Pete Hagg says white supremacist says best and brightest, what he means is best and whitest. Yeah.
You know, DEI hiring, it's already merit-based, okay? So we need to just start saying, diversity, equity, and inclusion. You know, and ask them, what exactly do you mean? Like, really makes them explain what they mean by that, you know? I mean, they won't, but whatever. But I want to just point out, and it may be beating a dead force.
or dead turtle. But we have got to keep talking about and reminding people, we would not be in this moment. That plane that went down, that would not have happened. The blood of every single one of those people is on the hands of Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy and the Republican Party. They had an opportunity after January 6.
I accidentally had my TV, by the way, on MSNBC this morning, because you know it's on when I'm taking a shower or having to call walls out of there. Yeah, even Joe and me could didn't show up this morning. They probably couldn't figure out how they were going to defend this.
But what was my point? I heard some, I don't even know who it was. I was listening, tangentially, Karen. And I heard somebody go, well, you know, the Democrats are just not spoken strongly with one voice about what Trump did yesterday. I'm like, are you kidding me? Every single Democrat is on record is saying how despicable and grotesque this was. It's Democrats fault. The Donald Trump is the most despicable human in the universe. I mean, I just go ahead. Sorry.
well and it is it's one of those things that you kind of wonder like we wondered last time what was the line that he was going to cross when it would you know jolt the republicans on out of their coma i wonder the same thing about our media and about the so-called journalist is this going to be the thing because as you said people are going to be afraid to travel if i'm an executive with an airline or if i'm a uh... air um... a flight attendant or if i'm a pilot what confidence
They have I mean that is a huge liability. Yeah, no I that is and by the way Karen I you know as you know, I'm a good five to ten minutes ahead of my time But the media yesterday you could tell they were instructed don't you know politicize this and just report and then on cue he comes out like the despicable piece of that he is and blames Obama Biden and DEI and everything but but himself and
So, media, do your jobs. Report yesterday right away that there's no head of the FDA because Trump, you know, because Trump let Elon Musk push him out, that he cut, you know, what do you call it? Air traffic controllers that he put a hiring freeze, that he gutted the FAA. I mean, report just the facts, right?
exactly and like you know it like i said i mean that you know the uh... committee the aviation on safety committee thank you dismantle i think that was a good point i forgot he disbanded the pandemic response uh... you know that that obama had put together as you pointed out
These things don't happen by accident. You know, his horrific response to COVID is the same. We did this story when it happened three weeks ago that he disbanded the, what is it called? Federal Aviation Security. What do you call it, Department?
By the way, Burnett says this is your reminder. Project 2025 plans include privatizing air traffic control. Because again, what could possibly go wrong? Pete Zusa, who the photographer said, Sean Duffy, not ready for prime time. The FAA administrator was not at the press conference because there is not an FAA administrator. Guess why?
Because of President Musk, that's why. Tom tweets, anyone flying an aircraft in the USA should be aware that Elon Musk pushed the FAA administrator out of his job because that administrator suggested heavy fines on SpaceX for safety violations. The FAA has no leader right now. This information is from the Daily Beast. And I didn't hear that anywhere yesterday.
Yeah. And Kobe, those DEI measures Trump is blaming for the crash have been in effect since 2013, including his first term. There's never been a deadly crash like this until he returned to the White House and rolled them back. Only Peter Alexander asked that question yesterday and pointed that out.
All right, one last one. Grapes says, Black Hawk and a passenger plane collider with atomic and our top officials are washed up road reels, bro, and a Fox News drunk. But sure, tell me more about how DEI is the real problem. I mean, that they have the audacity with all of these wildly unqualified nominees they're putting forward. Most of home are straight white guys to tell us that this is the fault of DEI. Okay.
By the way, unqualified white men that caused this. That's what caused this. Okay, I'm done for the moment. You're right. You didn't think it would be possible for me to be a bigger bitch than I was during the Bush years, but here I am. Here you are. Way to go. Have carnation instant bitch for breakfast every morning. Well, welcome to it. 20 minutes after the hour. This portion, and then I have a bowl of bitchy right after that. Yeah.
Stephanie Miller.
It is the Stephanie Miller Show. Welcome to it. I was calling it Audible for Bella, but I don't have a button that I can silence my microphone, but we will next week because Tony's coming. Okay. No, I was just saying I, you know, Karen Chicago made a great point on the, both on the show and on social media. And I have to say, Chris, I got to salute all the truth tellers out. Where are you be? Social media, all the people in our universe, obviously John Fiegel saying coming up, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Angela on and on.
Right? We are the ones we're waiting for, as Obama always used to say. We are the heroes of democracy. Oh, thank you, Yala. From the clutches of fascist democracy, we proudly present heroes of democracy.
Thank you. Okay. All right. Because I'm just telling you, the mainstream media, again, Chris, falling down on the job, afraid to afraid to criticize Trump yesterday. And then here he comes out and hits a new low again yesterday. Brian Tyler Cohen, one of our friends, said Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don't let him.
So thank you to all the truth tellers. Gray Delhi says we did not have an FAA administrator to respond to the crash in DC, crash in DC because on January 20th, Elon Musk made him resign because he previously fined SpaceX for not following safety requirements.
Alexandria AOC, one of our fighters, said, I represent LaGuardia Airport, as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety Committee last week. Air traffic controllers already understaff got Trump's buyout this week with a one-week ultimatum to decide it is not DEI, it's him, and Elon, too. Thank you.
I'm telling you, we have to fill in where the media should be, unfortunately. Right? Vote your ring. Yes, thank you. Vote your interests. Said Trump on TV blaming everyone except himself for the plane tragedy. Maybe he should not have fired 100 FAA experienced aviation staff members. Trump's actions, Trump's watch, Trump's failure to protect. Ronde Lane Fox, one of our resistors said,
bodies and many that are young athletes are still in the water. Two troops, actually three I believe, now he's entrusted to lead are still in the water and he's taking DEI, talking DEI and cursing at the American people. Don't you dare try to normalize this. And if any CEO or elected leader endorses this out, 29 minutes after the hour, John Feudel saying next.
Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues, that pepper sprayed them, that beat them with poles. They're right there. They're guarding you today. Tell them how proud you are. That's an abject lie, and you know it. I've never, never, ever accepted violence against law enforcement. I've worked with these men and women, as you know, my entire life. And I did not make a single dime out of it. And so on.
Senator Adam Schiff. I believe he's killing it. Our new senator. He's doing great. Two tellers, heroes of democracy. As is we were saying AOC, she's just been fantastic. She tweeted, yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they're also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don't take the buyout. Their problem-solving skills are...
Thank you. AOC. Just one of our fearless leaders. Do not be afraid. I love this. Oh, our friend Christian sent this. Yes, my friend Christian. I claim him as my own. All right. He was my ring boy in LA sexy. He was. He's very well endowed intellectually.
Okay. Kyle says, Judge McConnell will grant the restraining order saying the withdrawal of the hugely ambiguous OMB order is only a distinction without a difference based on comments by the president's press secretary. AOC said, in case you're having a bad day at work, remember, at least you're not Trump's press secretary, whose tweets were so bad today that she earned the entire administration of federal restraining order. Keep talking and tweeting, girl, you're doing great.
Oh, it's true. They are just an incompetent bunch of hacks. You cannot say it enough. Who else said this? I don't have to head in front of me. Whoever this hero of democracy is. The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk pressured the former FAA administrator to resign on January 20th. That's inauguration day. Musk was angry that the FAA finds SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.
Thank you for putting the truth out there. Like this new hero of democracy. Look at him. Look at that beautiful man. Hi, beautiful man. Hi.
oh hello from the new york europe kids what a week what a week jd vans got america to feel sorry for catholic bishops and that's a great thing it is morning morning um... john it's hard when he beats even our very very low expectations of him and we've before this press conference yesterday we were going all can you imagine if that's not a bitin how they would be saying about by an imputed and he still claims by an imputed josh oh my god it's just
Well, be fair. He's also blaming Barack Obama and disabled people and dwarves. Okay. He really ran around this time. And I respect that of him. I mean, we were saying on our show two nights ago, how long until he blames Pete Buttigieg for this? And wow, I mean, this guy's had a really, really bad week. This guy's gotten beaten down. This guy has shown that he's not a real dictator. He's not a real authoritarian because he backs down so hard.
Um, and, and trying to hold up federal spending, which is illegal. This, this eight months pay scheme, which is illegal. Thank you. And don't do it. Don't fall forward. He'll stiff you. I keep saying it. So I, yeah, that's the lesson. The lesson here is everybody in the country needs to know this guy's already buckling under public pressure. He never even complained or whined when Matt Gates got to decide.
There are still checks and balances that resist him and the media's gaslighting that there's a mandate and the country has moved to the right has been proven this week to be a lie. Thank you. And this is why we desperately need the truth tellers like you, John, because as I was saying, media got the story wrong. Yeah, he backed down, not Columbia.
i i i i i don't care what is stupid fem bot press secretary tweeted he backed down on the on the spending freeze and by the way can i just say my my good personal friend chris told me this uh... caroline levitt in her first press conference he said i commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day and again her first thing she said it's very easy to speak the truth from this podium with the president implementing policies wildly popular oh my god
She lied there. Yeah, January six pardons, not wildly popular. None of this popular against the birthright citizenship 59% against the anti DEI 62% against the pardons and 54% against the tariffs. He's not popular and people are waking up.
And by the way, they're all just despicable. Who's the first one? Remember we said this yesterday, Chris? I don't know what the right-wing talking boy is going to be. They're going to blame, fill in the blank, and they absolutely did. And then they all repeat it. Representative Andy Ogles, this is this douche from Tennessee. He said, did DEI play a role in this type of thing?
He just repeated the same thing Trump just said. This guy was exposed for having lied about his education and work experience. He's currently under investigation for faking a $320,000 loan to his campaign. The FBI seized his phone as part of the probe. He's made them just a party of crooks and grifters and liars.
You were saying, you were saying these, um, you know, what do you call it? These hearings, they're just such bull because they all just lie. They just lie their way. All of them is lie. And it's a joke. And since 1781, I believe only nine cabinet nominees have not been permitted. It's a rubber stamp pageant. It's a joke. These hearings are awful.
And I just, I've got to believe that Cash Patel running the FBI has got to be Karma's punishment to the FBI for the horrible way they treated Martin Luther King. The only problem is it's going to hurt the rest of us too. And by the way, this is why Manbaby was talking about turning Guantanamo Bay into a detention center for 30,000.
It's all a distraction from the funding shutdown being shut down. That's been knocked down so many times this week. We saw the Sean Duffy nomination stale through the committee, but then two dozen Democrats opposed it. We saw in a senatorial district in Iowa this week, a district that Trump won by 21%, a Democrat won it by six points, a 27-point swing in Iowa for Democrats this week.
yes it's only week number two we are going to bring this piece to heal by the way so it's been a tossy gabbard i aren't we did if edward snowden and russian state media are pushing for tulsi gabbard to be confirmed by the senate is d and i uh... then you know that she should not be i mean uh... they're openly on russian tv rooting for her edward snowden it i mean he could she couldn't answer this words give me eleven but she can answer this question from senator bennett
at the very moment that Russian tanks were rolling across the peaceful border of Ukraine for the first time you tweeted at 11 30 p.m. your time this war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden administration slash NATO had simply acknowledged Russia's legitimate legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine's becoming a member of NATO did you say that yes or no
I believe you're reading my tweet, Senator. Yes, is the answer.
John, you posted. It's been 72 hours since Donald Trump didn't solve the UK Korean invasion in 24 hours. Well, now it's been longer. Right. Yes, it has been. Yeah. By the way, here's the thing. Democrats keep asking when are we going to have a media ecosystem on the left that rivals what the right has? Here's the secret. You already do Democrats and liberals. There are so many podcasts. There is serious XM progress.
There are so many shows. The problem isn't that there's not a democratic infrastructure. The problem is Democrats don't book themselves on these shows. JD Vance will go on any podcast hosted by any dude bro with a swastika tattoo. The Republicans go on these podcasts. The Republicans have grown
their own media ecosystem. Democrats need to start getting out there and appearing on a lot more shows than MSNBC and Sunday morning shows because we're ready for it. Come on out there. Tulsi is lying like this and I don't know. I don't think they're gonna go with RFK because Republicans are owned by Big Ag and agriculture doesn't like all of the
regulations, RFK wants to bring to food, but at the end of the day, they don't care about America. It's a cult of selfishness. Every one of them cares about keeping their own jobs, and they know if they vote against any of these appointees, no matter how gross a Donald Trump will stick the mob on them.
I hear it. Can I just say one thing though? Because I didn't I say this, Chris? I saw this story a couple days ago. This whole Joe Rogan thing, the whole, Oh, Kamala lost because she didn't go in Joe Rogan. She really should have gone in Joe Rogan. Everybody tis tisking. I knew this at the time when I read details of this. It was Joe Rogan that sabotaged that. So don't give me this bolt, you know, about what Kamala did wrong. A new book says Rogan sabotaged his own interview with Kamala Harris in favor of Trump.
I said this at the time that she did a whole rally there to do his show and he used her to get Trump booked. He's the one that blocked her. Let me just finish this. Trump sat for this three hour interview on October 26th. Despite efforts by the Harris campaign to arrange the appearance, it was Rogan who tanked the interview and gave Trump the same spot. The VP told was not available. Thank you deliberately. The whole Houston rally was built to put her in proximity to Rogan.
So, I'm so sick of this. The VP of the United States, as her advisor said, is offering to come to your show. That's at the time, the sitting vice president in the middle of a, you know, campaign. And you keep putting up more hoops. On October 22nd, the same day that Harris camp announced the rally, the AP reported Trump would be Rogan's guest on Friday. The personal day Rogan had said he was taking a personal day off that day wasn't available.
And that was the day he interviewed Trump. That was the day he interviewed Trump. So don't say we won't go everywhere or do anything. Kamala Harris did an amazing amount of interviews and would have done broken. And by the way, and Rogan wouldn't have made a difference. It was 8 million people who voted in 2020 who didn't vote this time. Okay. It wasn't because of Democratic policies, Democratic policies.
are more popular than Republican policies still. And I don't like criticizing other comedians, so I'll just say about Joe Rogan. Ending Roe v. Wade is acceptable to him. All the racist lies of Trump and Vance are acceptable to Joe, and cops being beaten on the Capitol steps for a lie is acceptable to Joe.
By the way, can I just say one other pathetic, who's our latest bend the knee story for today and kiss the ring. CBS parent company Paramount has entered discussions with Trump to settle a $10 billion lawsuit brought by Trump as a legal maneuver. The many legal experts have ridiculed his merit list. This is him suing CBS because he said they edited.
But the interview with Kamala Harris wrong, or what are they always? Yeah, but it's always a lot of interviews. Right. It is a bribe. Yes. So they. So yes, once a merger, it's a bribe. Thank you. Thank you. That's it. Sherry Redstone Paramount's controlling shareholder stands to make billions on the pending sale of the company to Skydance. That's what this is about. The settlement would be an extraordinary concession by a major US media company to a sitting president, especially in a case in which there is no evidence the network cut facts wrongs or damaged the plaintiff's reputation.
this is just like a bit step up with an a b c and zucker burger just gave him what twenty five million dollars to apologize for blocking him on face book after he launched a terrorist attack on our capital they did it to apologize it's all a bribe its tribute this is cosinostra crap
and it's not gonna last these guys are bullies and we saw it this week you punch him back in the face and watch him back down unilateral funding freeze how crazy is this guy to think he can get away with this the nation went through this the last time when he was president he tried to withhold approved congressional aid to Ukraine and trump got impeached for that but you know stephy oh you're almost getting into into your jerry seinfeld register
Look, if Trump liked learning lessons, he wouldn't have paid other kids to take his test at warden. This is going to continue. And he's weak. That's why we have to call out. Yeah, the heroes of democracy like you like Peter Alexander. I'm telling you, he's going to get banned from the press room, right?
He said, Alexander said, to Trump's face yesterday, the cited FAA ticks that you read is real, but the implication this policy is newer stems from efforts that began under President Biden or the transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg is demonstrably false. And Trump said, who said that, you?
And he said, no, it's on the website, the FAA website. It was there in 2013. It was there for the entirety of your administration too. So my question is, why didn't you change the policy during your first administration? I mean, this is why Jim Acosta got demoted and then quit.
Right. That's right. That's right. But again, Trump has no game. He couldn't handle it. He gets flipped out so easily. And even when they lose, they're going to lie and say that they won. Yeah. But we've seen we have checks and balances. We have separation of power. This buyout thing that Elon tried to do, which is not legal. I mean, this is insane. I did the math on this. They sent this to two million federal employees. They offered them eight months of pay. So listen, I'm not good at math. I went to one of those public schools. The Republicans like to make fun of.
But average salary for a federal employee in the U.S. is around $106,000 a year. Eight months of that average is $70,900. Times $2 million is $141.9 billion. They don't have this money. It has not been appropriated. They are talking out there months. Yeah. You said America is now a mob restaurant being burned down for the insurance money.
That's what it feels like. And thank you. You said when racists say merit, you say hegseth. I mean, the fact that they're blaming DEI on a tragedy that was caused by straight white men. Thank you. Yeah, on disabled people. On disabled people, they're trying to blame it.
And again, we shouldn't be surprised. This is the president who mocked a guy's disability because that guy wouldn't back up his lie about Muslim-stancing on 9-11. This is what you ordered, evangelical Christians. This is your creed. So here's the deal. What's fragile is bit. It's like, you know, congratulations on the birth of your hate, baby.
That's it. And by the way, can we liberal stop calling it DEI and just start calling it anti-discrimination policies? Because that's what they hate. They hate any protest against discrimination, like Colin Kaepernick. They don't mind the racism. They don't like the protest against it. So I made a DEI call an anti-discrimination policy and make them explain why discrimination is okay with them.
I made a DEI hire by accident, Bella, who's 22 and wildly qualified, is also half Latino. I didn't even know. But she not. Oh, wow. Right. Anyway. She's a DEI hire here just for being qualified. But this is why Democrats... That's something new, I'm trying. Yeah. I'm kidding. I want Dems to start impeaching him, Stephanie. I want Democrats to introduce a new article of impeachment every week from a different Democrat. We laughed at the Republicans when they did this with Obamacare every week.
But all the years they were trying to repeal Obamacare all that time, what were they doing? They were consolidating their base, they were getting their messaging out, and they were fundraising off of it. Let's have a new impeachment every week. They'll all fail, but get them out there. Yeah, listen, I have the t-shirts for it. But no, I was thinking now that I thought, oh, I get it. We don't have the votes. And it's only a few days in. But you're right. You're right.
he has already committed. I don't even know him any impeachable offenses. I said to Glenn Kushner, if this were Biden, they'd already have started a criminal investigation on this crash because of his actions. By the way, I'm very much looking forward to your show. You're pitching NPR, your new biblical quiz show, Wait, Wait, Don't Smite Me? Yes, Wait, Wait, Don't Smite Me. Very excited about this. This is my year. Can't wait for that.
The book, the book, Separation of Church and Hate. When is it available now? When's it available? What's that? You can buy it now. You can pre-order at your favorite local bookstore or your favorite deeply evil fascist website. It's called Separation of Church and Hate, a sane person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalist fascists and flock-flicing frauds. Coming out this summer, tonight I'll be on Stephanie Rule. And I'm going to be at the Phillipstown Depot Theater in New York, February 8th. Wow. And the Church of satire in Pennsylvania, Sunday, February 23rd.
Hooray, and right here on Series XM Progress every night. Fantastic! Yes! We love you, John Givis. Thank you guys. Love you all. Peace. Have a great weekend. Peace out to you all's mamas. Stephanie Miller.
Yeah, it is the Stephanie Miller show
uh... so a cnn aviation expert uh... panel brown said are d e i policies at the f e a to blame for the crash because of course they have to ask these questions because it didn't chief says it so he puts it into the into the yet yeah so the experts that i put my head of my hands pam when the president said that this is something that has been pushed by the far right for a few months now that d e i power cities are to blame for the degradation of safety and aviation united states but frankly the president is getting out ahead of his skis here no kidding because you know we can never stop shooting his mouth off
Um, what he has said is not only unprofessional, unpresidential, and inconsiderate of the status of this investigation, but frankly, unhinged that he can even say with any sort of certainty, the diversity, equity, inclusion, and policies on any part to play in this accident. As I said earlier, Chris, this clearly was caused by straight white men, including him, Elon Musk, uh, on down. Sean Duffy. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody's highlighting this tweet from last week.
From Thomas Schaller, an FAA employee, I know, confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers, the so-called buyouts and other attacks on federal employees won't help. Remember that fact when the flight delays and crashes commence and trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden. And there you go, on cue, right? They never disappoint. Fifty-eight minutes after the hour, the answer. Fridays was fair to last next.
It's the Stephanie Miller Show.
I quote, we should not be giving black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to whites because their immune system is better than ours. Can you please explain what you know? There's a series of studies I think most of them by pulling to particular antigens that blacks have a much stronger reaction. Let me just ask you then. So what different vaccine schedule would you say I should have received?
lacks need fewer antigens. And this is so dangerous. This is so dangerous. Mr. Kennedy with all due respect. That is so dangerous. That was the fantastic Angela. Also Brooks. Okay. All right. You know what? This can't come a minute too soon. This morning. Here we go. Okay.
Hey, hey, hi
You know, as we were saying, I can't hear offstage at Sexy Liberal DC, but on the final word this week, and I believe the episode was Beyond Biscuitry. Yes. One of my personal favorites. Is that the title of your new book, Angela, as well? Our new book is called Beyond Biscuitry. Yes, Tim Scott did not get a position in the government. No, he did not. That's for some title.
I think you said it, Frances, you said, you know, congratulations on your hate, baby. Right? Yeah, everybody voted for Trump. I mean, I totally got with the second you said it, I was like, yeah, here we are. And here they are blaming black people. That was code for black people for this crash that was caused by straight white men.
Yes! Are there any, there's like one black lady's unfortunate woman on the plane that I'm aware of at this point. Right, the airline, American airline, and the Stewart person was African-American. Yes, the flight attendant. Yeah. Yeah, there's racism and then there's this. Like racism seems quaint compared to Trump's attacks and RFK's juniors
not insinuation dad out saying that black people are not the same kind of human
Right. Right. Right. And he had also said it was developed to spare Jews. And he's just insane. Yes. He's insane. And seeing Cheryl Hines behind him. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh. You can know. Oh, ma'am. No ma'am. I'm coming for. I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you. She in comedy lane. No more. Not no more. I'm a Zamboni dad out. No.
Let's listen to a little bit. This is Ed Mackey with the RFK. You told my colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee that when you went to Samoa in June of 2019, it quote, had nothing to do with vaccines. My purpose in going down there had nothing to do with vaccines. Well, I have in my hand a blog post in 2021 in which you say the anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense, which you ran
offered to fund the purpose of the trip to Samoa. And during the trip, you met with an activist who later compared vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany. People died. Lots of kids died. That should have been disqualified just by itself.
I think like over 30 people like and children because of him. Yeah. And he has vaccinated his own children. Thank you. Thank you. He is vaccinated. Let me tell you, this man cannot be in charge of my health care because he doesn't consider me human. Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't know verb. He doesn't know how to conjugate verbs. Well, there's that.
That, I mean. And they all just lie. Who was it? Cash Patel, they're like, do you know who this Nazi is? No. You were on his show eight times. And then he comes out later in the day. And it's like, of course, we know each other. We text each other all the time. Yes. It's insane.
Yeah. I thought Maggie, his son, was really, that was heartbreaking, but let's take a listen. I am the proud mother of a 36-year-old young man with severe cerebral palsy, and the date does not go back when I don't think about what did I do when I was pregnant with him that might have caused the hydrocephalus that has so impacted his life.
So please do not suggest that anybody in this body of either political party doesn't want to know what the cause of autism is.
You know how many friends I have with children who have autism? The problem with this witnesses response on the autism cause and the relationship to vaccines is because he's relitigating and churning settled science so we can't go forward and find out what the cause of autism is.
Anyway, I just this was tough week. First of all, we just went through this out here with the fires with Trump being a giant bag of to us and trying to score political points. And that was another new law even for him yesterday that person. And you think it literally is it would be comedy if it weren't blaming Obama. I mean, we have a jingle saying when the black guy did it. I'm like, seriously?
He always skips over his own presidency, too. He's like, it's Biden, then Obama. I'm like, boo, boo, you were in there. How did that go down? How did that go down? I got to tell you something. And this is the thing about Trump, the most amazing thing about him.
Is he out-dows himself every single day? Are you gonna go to the side? He goes, no, you wouldn't even go swimming. I'm like, I couldn't believe that. I mean, and he's cussing, cussing. I was like, what is going, it is week two.
I'm barely keeping Francis closed. I said, barely keeping closed. Before the press call, I said, oh, you know, if this, can you imagine this happened under Biden, what they'd be saying about Biden and Buttigieg, he's still playing Biden and Buttigieg. Yes! And he clearly, when he fired. Yeah. Because of Elon Musk. Yeah, head of the FAA. The head of the FAA now, because now it's somebody else's fault. But we're not talking about that.
Okay. Which to me, if you're gonna start making wild accusations about what would have happened, how about that there's no head of the FAA? Why wouldn't you start with that one? Because that's true. There was not.
Yeah. And why is it the media calling it out? And where was there? Where was it? Where was our defense secretary, Rapey McDrunky, for the first 12 hours until the next morning. Thanks for being the name of people that he shouldn't have been. Like it's it's when I say that it's absolutely insane that we earn week two.
And this is where we're at, and I have to read this morning that another media group, Paramount, is settling with Trump. I just talked about it. Unbelievable. Bending the knee like ABC. I lost suits that absolutely would have won. You can't... You're not gonna lose a... You can't... Every interview is edited. Literally because of the way they edited the Kamala Harris interview, and they decide to settle because of... Because they're cowards. And I will not be lectured to.
by mad out not never be lectured to about my level of participation in this resistance when they do when the companies they work for do that yeah, like I know they're all powered so I I say the letter for you know we all love us and Malcolm and so much but I
Sandra in Cleveland said, hey, stuff. I mean, listen to Malcolm and others say, Kamala needs to do this. Kamala needs to do that. I'm a dumb middle-aged white woman, but it seems to me like we have no business asking Kamala or Kamala or any other black woman to do things. She gave it her all. People didn't listen. It's not up to her. Any black woman to fix it. The rest of us need to fix this mess. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd love to hear Frangel's take.
I think you were talking about her 100% right. She's absolutely right. She's absolutely right. I will not man me this country another father. No, get off it. Get off our caramel bosoms. It's time to grow up. I feel like you will be at the top of we told you so much until further notice and just figure it all out. I got a change of address card out.
Mm-hmm. I lived there. You know what? I'm so serious. Yeah. The reality is, is that the DEI stuff, white women, if you don't figure out the fact that this hurts you more than me, you, because you're the ones who benefited the most from it, it's about you. I said. Get out there and take care of yourself. I sent you guys a tweet that someone said, do y'all get exhausted being a white person, about white people, even though you are white people? Yes!
No, I know the pain. I know, I know. I can see it in your eyes, because you good people, and you weary. You've been preaching the good word for ever, Stephanie. Yes, you've been on the air forever, Stephanie. This is literally a radio, since the time you were a little baby.
She was she was on the radio in the womb. Yeah, she had a little she had a little microphone in there Bella was born in 2002 I know I listen I'd be in all y'all's mode if I were
you know I'm just I mean she don't say her name unless it's to say bless her don't say her name and by the way so there she was last night she wasn't on stage at the fire raid concert in LA but she was the star attraction of course she entered a box seat and you know got this huge obviously standing ovation and I just
This is everything you need to know. We mentioned this at the time. Literally inauguration day. January, she came directly back here to a kitchen serving food, families affected by the fire. Even before they went back to check on their own house in Brentwood, they went to visit first responders to thank them. You know, you dump America, you just man. I don't want to tell you, right? Oh man. This is my 6,000th story like this.
I'm not exactly in the most graceful mood. No, she's not full of grace. Yeah, voting isn't cosplay, guys. It's not cosplay. No, and you don't have to. Let me tell you something, Stephanie, you did everything right. You did everything right.
You did everything right. You do not have to feel bad about the consequences that they created. That's right. John Feuglesing just said that. He said, but you were right about everything. Doesn't that feed your narcissism? I'm like, I don't care about my narcissism enough about me.
I care about my country. Yes. We all do. And we did everything. You have to understand why people does not mean white people. Right. It means the system of white preference. And the reality here is the people that I am the, of course, I hate the racists. There's no question. The MAGA people who are awful and bad people, but who I'm very angry at and I'm going to have a hard time moving forward with are the people who didn't vote.
Yeah. Yeah. You are the problem. You are the big problem. Angela the Sheldon of the Detroit Shelton's and not the Puerto Rican Shelton's. This is another thing you were right about. Puerto Rican family detained after speaking Spanish. You were saying, I love Puerto Rican. They're going to, they're going to, like, I don't like leaving the house. Yep.
i told you we were also around you and start snapping and singing songs from west side story you're a jett your brother right just so that that you have to arrest us all for all porta rickin the office i mean that's that it's just they don't care about that the whole point is the theater the whole is the cruelty it's just a couple of hours you know who said that our queen joy read and then tom hollman called her dumb as a box of rocks tom hollberg tom hollberg
really Harvard educated joy read as dumb as about okay um yes this story a Puerto Rican family including a toddler taken into custody by ice and Milwaukee after over being overheard speaking Spanish oh god oh
The family, our all U.S. citizens were transported to a detention center before officials acknowledged their mistake. They were not allowed to clarify their status until they were already in custody. Then they were left stranded and had to arrange their own transportation home. I sue them. I sue them up and down. Where is the lawyer prompt? Tell him he needs to go work on them too. Okay? Because at the end of the day, you cannot allow these. We cannot allow these people to start,
Open up people. That's what they're doing. They're scooping up indigenous people. Yeah, I mean, there's no- Where at the- Yeah, really. Show us your papers. I said they should wrap them in smallpox covered blankets. Here they are. Yes. Yeah. I mean, we're at the concentration camp phase of fascism.
uh... he's talking about opening get more for me it's about the chaos and the plane loads of the mlanded in columbia angelic did they were just columbia confirmed they were like women pregnant women children there was not one criminal except for you know that they didn't cross at a point of entry
I'm telling you, I've watched more Latino people in this country on the news channel, different news channels being interviewed, saying, well, I wanted Trump to do this because we want to get rid of this criminal element. I am an immigrant, but I'm not a criminal. And I'm like, you really don't get how racism works. No.
That's the fact that you are here in their minds. That means that you are a criminal. You are a criminal from stepping on for stepping on this criminal at birth because Latina that you're brown. Yeah, the fembot. What's her name? Caroline Levitt said that. You know, if you're you're a criminal, if you're here. You're criminal. Yeah.
The children are criminal. Your children are criminal. Your tia and your abuela, she a criminal? They are criminal. They are criminals. And the fact that, and here's the thing that makes me so mad, the fact that you don't know what they think about you, that's on you. That's what happens when Biscuitry gets inside of people. It's insidious. It just corrupts. It makes them, they can't see.
You can read all this in the new book, Beyond Biscuitary, by fragile. You talk about the vision problems. You have a whole chapter on how if you want to win at darts, play a biscuit because they can't see anything. Stephanie Miller.
I know
Stephanie Miller. Oh, thank you. Everyone is in love with Brangela, who has a department of somethin' ain't right, but you're gonna have to change the title to everything, it's not right. That's just somethin' and I just wanna be the parent, it's like the parent organization of somethin' ain't right. Yes, oh and I just wanna let you know, that's the name of our new podcast, too. We've started a third podcast. Oh. Something ain't right. Something ain't right. I love that. You need it. MSWMedia.com, sexyliberal.com.
Um, yeah, I just this tweet struck me when COVID caused millions of deaths. It failed to foster empathy and humanity and people. I mean, Karen pointed out he disbanded the pandemic response. You know, I plan because the black guy did it.
Because it was Obama's. This is very similar. You know what he gutted the FAA, fired the FAA director. I mean, and the problem is they'll defend anything, just like they defended his disastrous response to COVID, when their loved ones were dying, right?
Yes. And I'm sick of people telling me that Republicans in Congress, in the Senate, that they secretly are very disturbed and do not like these nominees and don't like this agenda. I can't stop trying to act like it's okay to think something and not act on it. And stop telling me things that you can't prove. I don't care what they feel. I care what they do.
Right. I don't care about your view. I care about your conduct. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. That's absolutely right. Yep. 29 minutes after the hour. Wow, we're head banging. Yeah, we are. Yeah. Fridays with Frangela on The Stephanie Miller Show.
This is when you need to answer the questions of the people whose votes you're asking for to be confirmed as the chief intelligence officer of this nation. As my colleague said, this is not about you, it's about the people that serve the intelligence agencies of the United States. Is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?
That is not a hard question to answer when the stakes are this high. Yeah, she never answered. Yeah, of course not. No, of course not. I keep saying Russian state TV and online rooting for her. When enemies of America are rooting for you, it's just you and enemy. Yeah. Sorry. This is my problem.
When you know, for instance, when you knew you had a test, right? You knew you were coming. The class is going to be a test. Did you say, you know what? Let me refresh on this information before I walk in here. How are you going to walk into hearing this been scheduled that you know you're doing and not know even what the position you're there to talk about does? How are you going to be RFK and talking about Medicaid premiums?
right right you don't know anything about you don't even glance nobody gives you a quick study card right you know like not like I want them to ask them can you tell me what the acronym that your apply is for that what what is the thing that you're applying to be the secretary of yeah well only unqualified I guarantee you they don't know they don't um so all of the nominee to think
have been asked this, you know, what will you do if Trump asks you to break the law? You're like, how many times has he broken the law already this week? Right. But this is always there. Yes. Yeah. If President Trump orders you to withhold appropriated funds from the inspector general, will you refuse that illegal order?
I don't believe for a second President Trump would ask me to do something that would break the law. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if you are asked about an illegal order, what will you do? You can say, oh, it'll never happen. What will you do if you're dealing with an illegal order? My commitment has been and will be if confirmed as Director of National Intelligence to comply with the law.
just i just at again how many times is he broken the law i don't let's not not even go with the whole two weeks just this week mhm yeah dolly does that's all it has it that's a demo and one more senator kelly
What I have seen makes it clear that at the same time that you were skeptical of our intelligence community's assessments, you would not apply the same skepticism to information that came from sympathizers of Russian Assad. And I think that's something that we should all be concerned about. Wow. Yeah. Frangela. I know you want me to read to you from today and regret Magadie Hards learned that their votes have consequences.
Can you hear me up there at the top? I told you so, Mountain? Oh, yes. Please, we have a special moment. Welcome. On Monday, President Trump caused his MAGA fan base to start questioning narrow allegiance when his administration announced the abrupt halt of federal grants and loans that many Republican voters realized that they've been relying on. These MAGA diehards are starting to seriously regret their loans.
Can you hear me up there on the top of oh? Yeah, we told you so we told you so we told you so we we said it Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say it? Oh, you did I believe you did? We tried to tell you You were warned to dummy twins you were warned we tried to tell you you were warned now
I believe that's not your favorite song. That's your only song on the top of it. We told you someone's the only song. You don't need another song. It's your whole playlist. They asked us, who do you want to bring or to the top of I told you Mountain? We said, do you want the Beatles? Do you want the Rolling Stones? We were like, ah!
Just one song, one song, one song. This. Now I believe that is in the Around and Find Out mountain range. It's one with the highest peak. Yeah, that's gonna be their fourth podcast. Oh, because I have a Around and Find Out Nazi version. Because we have, oh, yeah, I have an entire Nazi version. Oh, okay. Church Revokes license of priest who copied Elon Musk's controversial salute. He had been warned about online trolling.
Okay, Pennsylvania official resigns after copying Mossy Moss Nazi salute. Okay. Okay. This, there is an entire Nazi stack now. Of course there is. Around and find out. Oh, and this would be the International. The International House of Nazi? Yes.
Outrage over Elon Musk supported the far right for alternative for Germany party and call for Germany to move past. It's Nazi history could start impacting his financial interest after the Polish tourism minister called for a Tesla boycott. There is no justification for any reasonable poll to continue purchasing Tesla, as she said. That would be a round and find out international Nazi version. Okay. Nobody don't buy these cars. Please do not buy these cars. And don't let Donald Trump try to let
Take one of these exploding rockets to go get our astronauts. Please don't. Oh my god, that's the other giant laughable lie besides the giant faucet in California that he sent the military to turn on. What was the other stupid lie? Oh, Biden left astronauts stranded in space. Like, you know, the Sandra Bullock movie.
And yeah, Mike gravity and woody and Elon Musk has to go pick them up like it's a big space uber and they're just floating around up there like center in gravity I wouldn't get on no kind of rocket if I were them nope nope nope nope nope not during this I am not with a fool no
Fat me that rocket can bring me some food is fat like that meat which is Not it is greasy greasy. It's greasy. Uh-huh. Yep. Okay. Always wait the one that I'm still unclear on is it is the creeks got a hollow that that means the hollows got a quick Okay, that's right. That's how that works and you won't risk it on a biscuit and you won't waste it on a pancake. I understand Chris makes sense of course it does
Chris, who said this is a five alarm in fire. We work hard not to shut the government down in Congress. Trump has decided he can do so by fiat out of petulance and blind allegiance to Project 2025 crowd. You either enable him or stand up to him in this moment. Godzuki.
no that was uh... representative shawn castan who we've had on this very program one of our fighters in the great state of uh... illinois who said what happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of congress i believe in the history of the united states if this stands then congress might as well adjourn the implication of this is the executive can pick and choose which congressional enactments they will execute who said that plastic man and baby plas knows uh... senator angus king of the great state
Let me tell you, we sent everybody to Indivisible this week. Go to Indivisible. We need to contact all of your representatives, Democrats and Republicans, and make it clear what needs to happen. And we need the Democrats to stand up and do what one committee did do yesterday, which is don't vote. Do not do business as usual with these people. Don't do it. Do everything you can procedurally and otherwise to stop or slow them down.
do not be a feather in this don't let it happen yeah uh... at this is that that we were talking yesterday about this is all they're going to do is this you know it trans bathroom bands not flying the two rainbow flag uh... in his first moments after being sworn in his transportation secretary sean duffy sought to reverse biden regulations requiring passenger cars to be more efficient
That's what he was focusing on, not air traffic safety. I mean, you know, the fact when this happened, I'm like, oh my God, we have a reality show, bro, and a drunk in charge of defense department. And here we are. Yeah. And I don't know what's going on on the Fox weekend, because we seem to have taken all of their hosts. Yeah, right. And the government. Well, except for Sean Duffy's wife, Rachel, she's still hosting.
Oh. Yeah. You know, nothing but merit. Merit, merit, merit, just we're just leaking the merit. That's right. Okay. This was Dick Durban. I was mentioning grilling cash battalion yesterday. And he asked, let's see. Where was the question? Oh, here's the exchange. Okay. Are you are familiar with Stupetors? Does that name ring a bell? Patel, I'm sorry?
Would you always do in your buying time? Are you familiar with Mr. Stupieders? Not off the top of my head, Patel said, Durbin, you made eight separate appearances on his podcast. Okay, so... Stupieders is a Nazi, correct? Correct. Allegedly. She also hangs out with Laura Loomer, all the other white-wing lunatics.
OK, but this is like, John Fielders, I was saying, it's just they're so this is such a charade. They all just lie. I mean, are they not under oath or it doesn't matter? It doesn't matter. They just lie. It doesn't matter. Bobby Kennedy and Jordan still hasn't showed up for his subpoena. It doesn't matter. Right. Right. I mean, Bobby Kennedy will just say, I never said that. And then they play it. You're like, yeah, no, you said it in 417 podcasts. That was a good Bobby, Bobby Kennedy impression. That was very good. It goes off my cat. Sorry.
But it didn't sound like... It didn't sound like... That's what he said. That's a plus. That's a plus. That's what he said to Dick Durbin. He said, you've got a great big chip on your shoulder. That's a very out of it. I feel like that's some layer of wrong. What? It's almost Catherine Hepburn. I think you need to bring it a little lower.
We're going to quote you through this because we're going to need this. We need this. It's all we for the next four years. No, no. Oh, I have to watch people have quotes from them, read to them, Cash Patel, and Tulsi, and have them go, well, that's part of what I said. Right. Yeah. It's always out of context. Is it my tweet? Yeah. It's my tweet. Like, come on, man. Senator football, McDumb defended Bobby Kennedy. Here he is.
My first granddaughter here in a couple of weeks, and my son and his wife have done their research about vaccines. And she's not going to be a pin cushion. We're not going to allow that to happen.

Okay, I think I'm done. Is that all? That's what we call upon. Please, please. I don't know why they don't just ask him, are you vaccinated? Are your children vaccinated? Are you like, why are you messing around with all this other stuff? I think they did that a couple of days. Like on his first day, they brought up the fact that his kids are vaccinated.

Patrick, welcoming Bella, dearest Stephanie, God Empress of the Resistance. Thank you. Finally. And Bella. First of all, I'd like to offer a hearty welcome to Bella.

Of course, he's outside the room, so we didn't hear that.
It's the Stephanie Miller Show. See, she knows where that is. OK. And Chris LaVoy doing this amazing job. It is first week back as executive producer. I'm messing up on the cameras a little bit.

being slapped with a community order after being handed a two-year restraining order against contacting the victim in a 12-month community order. She said, I never thought farting with Lamy in court. I think the sentence is a bit excessive and dramatic. We are living in a very snowflake generation and also, okay.
I think the punishment is appropriate. Yes. That is not okay. This was in Australia, though. They may have different laws. If I were the judge, I would have said, first of all, let me commend you on your creativity. Let's start with the positive.
A lot of people don't even think outside the box on harassment, but you did. That's right, but you did, okay? So that's the positive, but we can't, we still don't have risk, but it was very original. It was creative. All right, so we hope we were saying easy to model cowardice, and it's easy to, you know, and we can also model courage, so we want to say thank you to these heroes of democracy. We don't have to play it every time.

Ted Cruz says, don't give wise, high hotspots to poor kids because they may be blocked from conservative viewpoints.
What? I just, he, I was trying to block a plan to distribute Wi-Fi hotspots for school children claiming it will lead to unsupervised internet usage and danger kids, and possibly restrict their exposure to conservative viewpoints. Oh my God. What? He scared the children will get radicalized. Yeah. I mean, Bella knows. Yeah. Well, and that's, and it's not radicalized. That's the word is informed. Right. That they will get some information.
