154: Closing Time
Notas do episódio
When the late Wesley Willis had a schizophrenic episode, he would refer to it as a “war hell ride.” Well, that’s what the GOP seems to be feeling right now. It’s last call before the midterms, and MAGA is stumbling toward the exit with a closing message that’s somehow darker, dumber, and more chaotic than any previous dark and dumb election they’ve participated in. Billionaire money is flowing into their coffers in record amounts, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Nothing has stuck for them, and everyone’s mad.
On this episode, Jared and Mike break down the administration’s apparent groundwork for federal meddling: a $1 million election fraud bounty, the largest DOJ poll-watcher operation ever, and election deniers pushing for a “national emergency.” Then they dig into the GOP’s final pitch to voters. That includes naked bigotry from RFK Jr., Trump, and JD Vance; Haley Stevens’ stunning eleventh-hour endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers; the White House defending the honor of the Cheesecake Factory; Glenn Beck’s latest “color revolution” panic; and enough AI slop to make Wesley Willis cry in the afterlife.
So, without further delay: Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. Posting Through It. It’s the most trusted name in news.
(Stay tuned for Part II of this episode on Thursday, after midterm results are in!)
