Botox, on a botched line in toxin A, prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents, on average, 8 to 9 headache days a month, versus 6 to 7 for placebo. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. A lurcher doctor right away is difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. A lurchic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugeric's disease, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert Eaton Syndrome, and medications, including botched line hemtoxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor, visit BotoxCronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44 Botox to learn more. All right, there seems to be fissures in the maggot cult. I know it feels like, oh, we're saying it again. But when the right wing media starts covering this, I think it's a pretty big deal. Here's Megan Kelly, play the clip. They gave Trump a year and a half. He's done nothing other than make things worse. This is how they feel if you read the polls. And they're pissed. They're not feeling pro GOP right now for a variety of reasons. They don't tend to like the tariffs. I still am up in mind to them, but I don't speak for the independence, even though I am

one. They don't like the war. They don't like what's happening in their bank accounts. And they're starting to think the Democrats might be the better option on the economy. All right, here to discuss this with me is in studio is Josh Welch. Do you see how she just used that propaganda? Like the Democrats are the best to discuss this on the economy. The Democrats historically are better with the economy and those are just facts. That's right. And also the framing of this where she's claiming a lot of the voters are now not pro GOP. Pro GOP looks like having an incompetent insane leader that tweets or issues truth social post all night. The framing of that is what I have a problem with. The leader is clearly their leader. Donald Trump is clearly mentally incompetent. He's insane. And so nobody wants to jump off the clip with him. No, everybody's starting to see it finally. And the economy she's right. Everybody's pissed off that he didn't deliver, but it's no surprise to us that he didn't.

He's a con man. He's a grifter. Now they're realizing the same thing. All right. And then moving along here, Judge Bloch's Trump's effort to rig the midterms. And this is going to become fever pitch between now and November. Pop this up. Mark Elias, top election lawyer in the country says breaking a federal judge in Massachusetts barred the U.S. Postal Service Friday from advancing new mail voting restrictions that if carried out, could leave vast numbers of people unable to cast a ballot by mail this fall? This has disaster written all over it. This is headed to the Supreme Court. That's where it's headed. And what's not said in that piece is the fact that even if they ruled that the implementation of this rule was lawful, they still don't have enough time to do this. It's going to send everything in the chaos. And so this is going to be one of those cases that we've talked about here that makes

its way up to the shadow docket, the emergency docket. And we're going to see what the Supreme Court does because if they rule in favor of Trump and every indication is that Trump thinks that he's got this issue one. If you notice that, the Postal Service continues to implement this policy, even though it hasn't been declared legal yet by any court, they still move forward with it because they think in their mind and Trump does, hey, this is going where we know it's going. It's going to go in my favor, keep moving forward. And we'll see. It's going to be a huge play as it relates to our elections. I mean, this issue right here is one for everybody to watch if you care about free and fair elections come November. Josh, what do you think if the Supreme Court rules, they've already shown that they are an anti-voting body. They are trying to make it more difficult for people to vote, i.e. by getting the voting rights act. Look at this with the United States Postal Service ballots.

A lot of elderly people, even our senior citizen president votes by mail. What kind of, there's no legitimacy left with the Supreme Court, but at that point, if they start, Robert starts tallying up all of these no votes for you, no votes for you, no votes for you, what do you think the Democrats should they get? Both houses, Senate and House in the midterms and then we get a Democratic president. What needs to be done about the Supreme Court? It seems utterly insane these people are elected. A lot of them appointed by presidents that didn't even win the popular vote. It is a minority court that's corrupt. The double dealings, what do we do with such an entity? There's been a lot of talk about reform and adding a total of 13 justices to the court has been one idea, but the biggest problem where we said as lawyers, as attorneys, is that this body, the Supreme Court has no oversight at all, no ethical oversight that they're subject

to. Myself is a lawyer. I'm constrained by the rules of professional conduct governed by the American Bar Association, the Oklahoma Bar Association. They live on their own island. They play by their own rules. They set all of these rules and parameters themselves without any kind of meaningful oversight. When you look at real reform, what does that look like? Number one, expanding the court to be more reflective of the citizens of this country. You look at term limits so that you don't have an 85-year-old justice up there making decisions that's just simply profiting off of his time there or her time there. You also bring in somebody that can oversee the ethical issues associated with guys like Clarence Thomas that are just flat profiting off of decisions they make before the court to where there can be a meaningful system of checks and boundaries and also bring them

up for impeachment if you think that they violated a law. They actually do something. It's preposterous. As you mentioned, they've destroyed the voting rights act. Don't you think this is bound to happen when we set up systems where we give the Supreme Court so much power where every other person on the planet has some form of the social contract with our jobs, accountability with the law, etc. And we set up this institution that we say is the law of the land and these lifetime appointments. It just seems so antiquated and so dilapidated. And they're allowing Trump. They're kind of like, yeah, we're down with all this. Here's Trump is now whitewashing America's history of slavery. Pop this up. Washington Post is reporting that Trump administration has removed language criticizing a memorial to the Confederacy, formally located in Arlington National Cemetery part of its ongoing effort to reshape portrayals of the Civil War.

Josh. Well, let's start from the preface that Donald Trump is a liar. We know that. Let's look at one six with what he's done to whitewash that story. So none of this comes as a surprise. The surprise here, if anything, is that people don't see Donald Trump for being a racist. He's a racist. He's dating back to the 70s and 80s with his own actions. He clearly doesn't want, he doesn't want the clear history of our country to be told truthfully. He does anything he can to build a narrative and change his set of facts. Like the truth is not a friend of his. You and I know that. Yeah. All right. And then this is what Trump is using the Civil Rights Department of the DOJ for pop this up. Trump administration gives DOJ Civil Rights Unit a new focus voter fraud. Federal election monitors traditionally focused on protecting the voting rights of marginalized

groups are getting additional marching orders for the midterms. There's been no evidence to support that there's any voter fraud in our elections. And if you notice, I think it was a while back that they made an announcement. They're investigating voter fraud in California. I think there was an announcement about that. And what they're doing by planning those seeds in the public is that they're building a narrative like a pretext for them to be able to go in and challenge these elections later. There's no truth to any of this stuff. This is complete gaslighting. But what you do when you gaslight someone is you have a press conference, you have a US attorney or someone in the Department of Justice say we're investigating voter fraud. I think they did this in California. It then allows you to build a narrative. It then allows you to run with it. You have outlets like box news and other media outlets that pick this story up and report it without any sort of fact checking because there's no voter fraud.

Like this has been looked at meticulously. If you remember back in 2020, Trump's own leader of DOJ Bill Barz said I can't find a goddamn thing. I can't, I'm sorry. And then of course he got his ass in trouble for that. Well, even the Heritage Foundation, which is just absolutely a horrifically evil and anti-woman, anti-American think tank. And I would call it an unthink tank, a stupid tank. They did their own investigation and our elections are free and fair. But I think the through line here is Republicans are always the ones claiming all this. Republicans are always the one making it harder to vote. Why is that? Because their policies suck. And right now, Donald Trump is the manifestation of every Republican idea with the mask off. Republicans have always been like Donald Trump. They were just more polite about it. They were a little bit more professional about it. They didn't change their hair color and and and tweet all this crazy shit. But they've always been this diabolical.

So their policies are not Uber popular. The more people vote, the more Democrats win and the Republicans know that. They know it. And that's why they try to make it so difficult for people to vote. That's right. And there's more Democrats than there are Republicans. But the Republicans have this philosophy. They want their voters uneducated and stupid. And that's by design. And they do that. That's why they dismantle the Department of Education. That's why they do all the things they do with their policies. That's number one. Second thing, Republicans, as you pointed out, have zero policy. And so when you have zero policy, how are you going to unite your base? What you do is you find a boogeyman. You find a strawman that you can rally around. So you see this and the bullshit, female trans issue and sports that they prop up. And so in other words, when we've got nothing to say, when we're getting beat at the polls, let's go beat that stick. Let's go beat that drum that we know is going to resonate all of our base to come together,

whether it's guns, whether it's hating on African Americans, whether it's homosexuals, whether it's trans athletes and women's sports, whatever it is. That's the kind of shit they talk about when they can't talk about policies, when they can't talk about the economy. And they can never do that because they don't have policies. All they have is hate. I completely agree with that. Speaking of politicians that don't seem to be doing the work for the people, and this is obviously a Republican problem. But in the democratic establishment, we have some problems as well. And the Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer's daughter just landed a new job, pop this up. And AI, Pires, Senator, Chuck Schumer's daughter to work for the artificial intelligence corporation. And so we have reported on this podcast for quite some time that Chuck Schumer and Haw came Jeffries, the leaders of our party are in bed with the same lobbyists that are

funding fascism, and that feels like they can't be on our team when they're also collaborating with fascists. And this is just another prime example. And I'm hopeful that if the Democrats win, and it is a big blue tsunami, that some independent minded Democrats in the Senate and in the House say we are so sick of this seniority bullshit. We want to be untethered to corporate interests. We want to fight for the people. Because the Democrats are doing well at the polls right now, despite Chuck Schumer and Hawking. They're saying despite their leadership, as we're saying. And so as a long time progressive Democrat, I look at guys like Chuck Schumer, and I think how can you stand on any sort of record? The democratic party in the last four to six years has been a fucking disaster. It's time to overhaul the leadership.

Especially for guys like us, even in Middle America or on the left coast, right coast, wherever, people are pissed off. And he's just, he's part of the problem. He's in, you know, he doesn't take any pack money and all of it. He's in all the same clubs and groups and all these Republicans are in. It's the same. It's the democratic version of what Trump is. He's exactly like Trump, but he's like, hey, you know, we're not going to dismantle gay marriage. And we think women should have the right to choose. But other than that, when you're carrying the water for big tech, which needs to be completely regulated, I mean, the government's position with dealing with this AI monster that is looming should be one of more Bernie Sanders. Like let's moratorium, let's investigate, let's have regulations on this new technology. But instead, they're just racing to, to drift off of it. And it's so devastating when you realize, and I think a lot of Americans have, you've

before, long before I ever did, listener, but I think a lot of Americans, since Kamala lost, have been really disgusted with the democratic party's ruling class and how patronizing they treat their voters. And I think Chuck Schumer and Hawkeam Jeffries both do this. I think we need new leadership. I think that if there is a blue tsunami, I think there should be a revolt in both the Senate and the House and put somebody in there who isn't taking corporate PAC money. I don't think that's controversial. I just, I do not think that's radical. I do not, I think it's far more radical for Chuck Schumer and Hawkeam Jeffries to be taking money from APAC and taking money from Big Tech and taking money from Big Oil, et cetera. And then looking us in the camera and saying, hey I'm fighting for you. I'm saying, no, you're not. It's the exact same thing. Now he's more aligned with our policies. He's not on to social, tweeting 30, 40 tweets from 2 to 5 a.m. about crazy, batshit stuff.

But in many other ways, he's just like Donald Trump. He's part of that same club, the same problem. Yes, he's more aligned with us. He's more empathetic toward the causes that we like. But the guy is failed in his leadership for the Democrats. Nobody can look at the Democrats and say for the past three, four, five years, they've had good leadership. That's fucking insane. Nobody's going to look at those two and go, man, they've really fought for us. What bad asses? They're going to, right? They have stood for us when it wasn't popular. They said they would write a real mean fucking letter. That's what they do. That's the kind of shit we get from this guy. Get him out, out. I agree. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, do all the stuff. Pre-order my book. Not today, fascists. We are in a month, countdown. The pre-orders help me immensely and we'll be back later with more news.
