Why are MAGA podcasters abandoning Trump?
You know, these MAGA podcasters who sold out their audience to shill for right-wing oligarchs, now they're deeply regretting it. You have Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn and, what's that guy, Scholz and others who were saying, actually, what ICE is doing is really bad. Actually, Donald Trump is covering up the Epstein files. On Theo Vaughn, they had Bernie Sanders as a guest speaker. This past week, I just want to show you as these MAGA Republican podcasters are admitting that they made the worst mistake of their lives. Now, some of these podcasters are worse than others, so I'll try to draw a distinction when possible. But first, I'll show you the most MAGA of them all, the deepest betrayal of them all, I think, to his listeners, Joe Rogan.
You know, and it's always interesting to me because I'm always being told, you're like the left's Joe Rogan.
How have Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn criticized Trump?
I'm like, I'm not the freaking left's Joe Rogan. I would never want to be anything like this guy at all. I just want to be the Midas Touch podcast that stands up for humanity, that fights for empathy, that wants to restore democracy and freedom. It's just that simple to me. But anyway, here's Joe Rogan this past week talking about the Epstein files. Here, let's play this clip.
Well, it's going to go on for a long time, I suspect. I mean, they said they released them, but what did they release? No, they're still not all out yet. What did they release?
Yeah, yeah. Like, it's weird. The whole thing's weird. It reminds me of that Onion article where they're like, oh, CIA realizes they've been using a black highlighter this entire time. Like... It's like that. It's like, oh, okay, you just blacked out pages. Redacted the shit out of everything.
What mistakes are MAGA podcasters admitting to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, what did they release? Did they release something recently? No, they haven't released anything in a minute. They had that initial release where everything was blacked out, and it was that picture of Winnie the Pooh, which was hilarious. But isn't there talk about some new releases that are happening soon? Have they? It feels like everything's been drowned out by everything else been going on. Yeah. With, like, the Somalians and the ice shooting. It feels like that's completely drowned out. Anything about it. I think some of that's on purpose.
Oh, 100%.
Who is the most notable MAGA podcaster mentioned?
They're terrorizing and torturing people, Andrew. They are terrorizing and torturing communities like terrorists, like the Gestapo, like the SS. And sadly, what you were doing before as a podcaster enabled this to happen. Weren't you all supposed to be like the don't tread on me crowd? This Trump regime is terrible. exactly like authoritarian regimes across the globe, whether it's Putin or Kim Jong-un or Saudi Arabia or the Ayatollah in Iran. Trump is like them. Play this clip of Scholl's. Let's play it.
This is why all eyes feel need their names on their badges. Because now you're getting people mixed up in the crosshairs. Talk to me. Because if they're, like, I don't know. Apparently, like, they're not named. Like, apparently, they don't have, like... Well, yeah, they got the shysties on. Exactly. It's insane. Yeah. Right? It is insane. Yeah. It's a tough look. And I think that, like, because we don't see it in New York... Like, we're somewhat detached from it. New Yorkers would not be going with this shit at all. Well, didn't they play that happening on the 20th? Canal. And we weren't with that shit. No, Canal's fine, but they wouldn't be fine with it happening. Listen, Canal, we've got to clean some stuff up.
But
And then you have Senator Bernie Sanders on the Theo Vaughn podcast. And Senator Sanders, let's listen to what he had to say. And Theo Vaughn's like, I agree, Bernie. I agree. Trump has authoritarian energy.
authoritarian energy theo you're almost there authority is an authoritarian period here play this clip what trump is using ice for now is a domestic military operation and it's part of this intimidation and if you stand up and and that woman in minnesota good is her name um yeah renee good renee good all right i saw that video you know you don't shoot somebody in the head who is in that car
