“If your leaders can’t say ‘good riddance’ to a man who funded the murder of American soldiers, then they’re not defending democracy — they’re defending their own power.” This episode tears into the silence, hypocrisy, and selective outrage dominating U.S. politics. From Iran’s terror financing and Turkey blocking LGBTQ+ Americans, to Democrats refusing to stand with the country on its 250th birthday, the rant exposes a party more obsessed with labels, division, and power than unity or principle. When pallets of cash, censorship, and foreign moral double‑standards get shrugged off — while Americans are told their own nation is the villain — it’s no wonder lifelong Democrats like James Carville say they don’t recognize their party anymore.

Fireworks And Missing Unity

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. It is once again. Like that?

SPEAKER_01

Saturday night. Thunder and lightning. Trump said 350,000 people were at the mall celebrating. And then it the thunder and lightning came in. And about and I don't even know how many people. I finally caught it late Saturday, late late night. But Stuart, I gotta tell you, I I'm I'm just scratching my head at the lack of how the left decides that unity matters more than power grabbing. That the Democrats couldn't show their face. How dare they? They could why stand next to Trump or the Republicans to celebrate. They have to have their own celebration and their own way of doing things. God forbid it's about the country, Stuart. It's never about the country when it comes up to American politics.

SPEAKER_00

Well, let me then jump right on in because there's a whole lot of topics I want to get through.

A Busy Weekend Of Grievances

SPEAKER_00

Because this has been a busy, busy weekend. All right, let's start off. The man who funded the murder of American soldiers is dead. The Democrat Party cannot bring itself to say two words. Good riddance. And while we're on the subject of the Democrat cowardice, Turkey turned away a boatload of gay Americans and internationals, and the left is making it more noise about Broadway actresses being inconvenienced rather than NATO allies telling American citizens they're not welcome. And both these stories were silent, silent in the Democratic Party. So let's get this shit moving. All right.

Khamenei Dead And Terror Legacy

SPEAKER_00

Khanini is dead. Yep, gotta be a fucking moron if you didn't know that. The former or the late supreme leader of the Islamic Republican of Iran since 1989, the thirsty, 37-year running of the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism, 37 years of Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, RGC, Coup Forces, the same coup forces that was manufacturing, smuggling EDs into Iraq and the Gafstan and blown up, blew up American troops and equipment. Again, over and over and over again, the flags draped with coffins with gold star families peed for their part by Tehran. And what the Democrats do for 37 years, they negotiated.

The Nuclear Deal And Cash Pallets

SPEAKER_00

In 2015, Barack Obama handed Kemini the regime $100 billion in saying some relief through JCPOA, Iran's nuclear deal. Yep. And then, because apparently that wasn't enough, the Obama administration airlifted $1.7 billion in $100 bills on a pallet to Iran in 2026. Oh, sorry, 2016 in January. Kind of funny, right before he took office. Not a wired transfer, not a check, pallets of cash on a plane in the dead of night, because they didn't want the paper trail. Ask yourself, why does a legitimate diplomatic payment require no paper trail? Unless they were knowingly sponsoring terror, which now may be linked to President Barack Obama. The money went to the IRGC, the IRGC funded Hamas, Hamas plan executed October 7th, the deadliest massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust. The blood trail is not complicated. It's a straight line. Every Democrat who cheered the nuclear deal, who defended the cash on the pallets, who called Trump reckless for killing Hussam Salomani in 2020. It's just over and over and over this. You know, today the crowds at Tehran are chanting revenge yet again. I can't believe this. They're chanting revenge again. The IRGC is rattled. There is a succession crisis brewing inside the regime, and Israeli officials are watching closely, and they're right to watch it very closely. Because, you know, as the IRGC uh Khamenei seeks revenge on Israel and the United States, this is the most dangerous moment in Iran politics in decades. And who do you want in the White House now? The guy who sent pallets of cash or the guy who sent predator drone? Now, before

Turkey Blocks LGBTQ Cruise Ship

SPEAKER_00

I hand this off to David, you know, I need to talk about something that happened last week. But the far less somehow managed to be less outrageous about Turkey. Yep. No, not gobble gobble. A NATO member, a U.S. treaty treaty ally, blocked a cruise ship carrying 2,000 LGBTQ plus Americans from docking. Yep. You didn't hear about it, did you? Nope. Silence. Silence from those Democrat turds. The Turkish government official reason was moral values and moral standards. That's their words. That's not my words, not David's words, not a Republican words. That is the NATO partner, Turkey, who's like, what? Oh, the the glory person for Iran. Now I want you to imagine, just imagine, if the Texas governor issued a statement saying a cruise ship wouldn't knock because of moral values. CNN would blackout. MSNBC, MSNow would declare a national state of emergency. There would be congressional hearings by not Tuesday, by Monday morning. But Turkey does it. The left complaint is that Patty LePone was inconvenienced. That's it. That's the outrage. A Broadway actress is furious. Oh, shame on me. Oh, poor Lapoon. Lapoon probably voted for the Democrat morons. But, anyways, he said she's scary. But I'm sailing. That is the left hierarchy of values in plain

Selective Outrage And Foreign Policy

SPEAKER_00

sight. They don't actually care about gay rights. They care about using gay rights as a weapon against conservatives. The moment a foreign government, especially a Muslim one, does something that they've torched the red state for, the silence is deafening. Because calling out Turkey means calling out the left zone foreign policy hypocrisy. It means admitting that the Islamic world has values that conflict with the progressive agenda. And they never, ever will do that. Maybe. Maybe not, but not right now. It's not convenient. Here's the bottom line: the man who funded America's soldiers' death is gone. Any politician who can't say good riddance is not on your side. And the same people screaming about Christian Baker who wouldn't make a wedding cake and got nothing to say when NATO turns 2,000 gay Americans at the port. Silence is the position. Remember this, David. Remember this. And this wasn't even my idea as a topic, it was yours. And I'm just loving with loving it. David. Okay.

Trump, Labels, And Political Bullying

SPEAKER_00

Turkey, double standards. Clear. Clear as day. IRGC rattled, screaming, death to America, death to Israel. The big picture. Obama gave pallets of cash to terrorists that clearly funded Americans. Where do we go with all this data?

SPEAKER_01

Look, Stuart, you know, here's the catch, right? The Democrats aren't going to give you an inch. Republicans don't give you an inch. Everybody's just bullying. But here's the thing with Iran. First, Trump doesn't have a policy. Trump doesn't have a strategy. Trump doesn't know what he's doing. And, you know, on the surface, that's possible. But Trump is a negotiator. And you know that. Everything to him is a negotiation. So it sucks for the Democrats because they can't predict. There's no political playbook here, Stuart. That Democrats need to shit on Trump because he's not doing things the way they're used to having things done. So let's use name-calling. It's name-calling. Right? Trump's an authoritarian, he's an autocrat. Stuart, last week Trump announced that why shouldn't presidents benefit and make money as being president? Which I thought was a dumbass statement by Trump. Okay. But don't give me some bullshit that Biden didn't benefit financially and Biden and his family. I mean, come on, seriously. Or Obama, who went into being president as a, you know, he made money as a senator and he walked out a millionaire. I wonder how that happened. Or how about all the insider trading that happens amongst all of the Democrats, including Pelosi and all the rest of the Democrats who benefited greatly from being in Congress? So to sit there and just say hipocket, you know, I know Trump has foot and mouth disease. I get it. But for don't give me some moral thing that you're like, oh no, the president is just a knock, you know. You just got to put labels because you have nothing else to do. Nope. On the left, the only thing, your only way you fight is with labels. If somebody doesn't agree with you, they're a racist, or they're a bigot, or they're a they're they're a white supremacist, or whatever. You you insult people, you offend people, you demean people, and people take words like that to heart, and they're like, oh, I don't want to call that.

Common Enemies And Party Loyalty

SPEAKER_01

It's amazing how the Democrats aren't standing with the United States, with the United States. Again, it was what I started this whole Randworth story. Standing with the country, for the country, you have a common enemy. And what you decided to do was to say, you know what, because it's Trump's enemy, they're not my enemy. Even though they still chant death to America, even though the supreme leader, if they if the kid is still the guy's still alive, they're still calling death to America. They still want to annihilate America. Like let's scratch the heads. But no, what we're going to do as a party is we're going to fry Israel. Because you see, that little fucker in the corn in that little in the Middle East shouldn't have a right to exist. That's your democratic party. We're not gonna we're gonna go after our ally, a democracy, because they are exactly who we don't want to support. Oppressors, Israel's an oppressor, like again, labels with no facts or substance behind. And you have a growing, growing, growing group of Democrats or going this way. Stuart, I don't know if you heard James Carville, who said, I don't recognize my party anymore. If the party goes in this direction, he goes, I don't want to be part of it anymore. This is James Carville, a Democratic strategist who worked on how many campaigns and he hates Republicans, but he is sitting there going, This is not my party anymore. And then what you just said about the Turkish, the Turkish cruise, like the cruise to Turkey, I think it's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00

Not because it's not hilarious for those that there, but you want to know something, David? You want to

The “Big Tent” And Israel Tests

SPEAKER_00

know something? Stop. I want to take a pause on this. You know, in New York, you have a massive movement, gays for Mandami, gays for the LBTQIA for this and that, and how wonderful it is in the Middle East, other than Israel, to be gay. I want those 2,000 people to be our official spokesperson on what rejection and and and how it feels. Because you know what? I would be willing to bet with you that 85% of them are all Democratic card holders.

SPEAKER_01

And I guarantee if you go and if you speak to them, it's again, it's back to the same thing. Oh such a big deal. No, no, they're no no no no no no no no no no. You have you have this mindset that they've got you know, the the Democrats want to tell you they're part of a big tent. We have a big tent. Everybody's allowed in a tent, except if you disagree with us. So if you're a Jew, you just and you don't agree with you know shitting on Israel, you're not included. If you are gay and you say, you know what, we need to support Israel or we need to get rid of Mamdani, you're out of the party. Like it's it's you have to fit into their tent. It's not such a big tent anymore. It's an amazing mindset that's happened. So when this cruise dots in Turkey, and you know why they won't say anything, Stuart? Because Turkey's a Muslim country.

SPEAKER_00

It's not only a Muslim country, a Muslim country that still has I hate Israel and death to Israel won't recognize it.

SPEAKER_01

But it's not just that, Stuart. No, but it's not but Turkey, under Erdogan, and this is the funny thing, right? You're blaming Israel for BB. That's what the left is doing, that's what the Democrats are doing. You're blaming the left for BB. Israel is a bad country because of BB. But Turkey's a good country, even though Erdogan is an autocrat who is actually trying to pass a law that if you're gay, there's a punishment. So here I'm trying to understand is that wait a minute. So you you cry again, you you you've say nothing, but 2,000 LGBTQ plus people are trying to dock and get off. They're not allowed into a country that is literally said, we think it's a disease to be gay. And you're like, okay with that.

SPEAKER_00

You don't say a word. I I David, I want to see the talk shows, I want to see the QA, I want to see the next time, like you know, some dumbass Democrat, and they go out with the microphone and go like this to your face and go, Well, what do you say about this? Well, I don't know about that. I don't know. That was an exception. I was disunderstanding.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, no, Stuart, I don't get concerned in foreign policy in tech in Turkey, you know, like bullshit like that. But at the end of the day, here's what your Democratic Party is doing, Stuart.

Impeachment Talk During National Milestones

SPEAKER_01

Again, it's all about the power grab. You have Al Green standing up there on the stage on the 250th anniversary of the United States, still yelling for the impeachment of Trump. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_00

Can

Loving America And Drawing Lines

SPEAKER_00

I tell you something, David? You know what listen, I was at glorious fireworks with a bunch of normal people out on the water. And I gotta tell you something. I I had an epiphany. If you can't say, I love the country I'm in, well, then you need to find another country. If you say that it's all because of one person and he got elected by more than the majority, well, then you should find another country. If you think that that's a bad statement, well, then you should find another country. I I'm just over it. Listen, when when Obama got elected, and I believe Mitt Romney was the right guy, and by the way, I still do to this day, not saying Obama was a bad guy compared to Kamala Harris or compared to Biden, but he definitely didn't rank and brain power that an experience that Romney had. It went back 2008. Now, if you really want to know the truth, I can go back that far. And I could tell you over and over and over and over and over again where decisions that were made just didn't make any sense. And and to be brutally honest, I can't understand. If you don't believe in America, then you should leave America. If you don't like American values, you should leave America. And it's okay.

SPEAKER_01

I guess it's got an open border, doesn't it? No, no, no. Listen, I'm tired, I'm tired of listening to Democrats that they're bringing into their tent say America's back. If you got that crackpot in New York and you continue to say, oh, by the way, we deserve 9-11. Like, who deserves a plane into a building to kill 3,000 people, injuring an unbelievable amount of people, and scarring people? Like, if this is what you think America deserves, you're fucked up. I don't want you in my tent. Okay? And don't sit there and tell me that that's what America deserves. But this is who the Democrats are courting in as their candidates. They're courting in more and more haters, they're courting more and more people who are creating more divisive, you know, and and yet they're blaming Trump. Oh, Trump's a divisive president. But who are you bringing in under your tent? You're part of our party, unless you're part of our party if you don't fill in, check off these boxes. And it's the same problem I'm seeing in you know, in so many other areas is that the Democrats when it's played is now how groups like BLM, LGBTQ communities are doing. It's like, oh, you can be part of us, but you must denounce Israel. You must denounce Israel, you must denounce Israel. If you don't denounce Israel, you can't be part of it. Like, what does your fucking movement in the United States have to do with Israel? It makes no fucking sense to me. Okay, you're not denouncing Russia, you're not denouncing Iran, you're not denouncing the you know, anybody in Africa, the Boko Haram, only one country. And this is what the Democrats have started up. They've let this become a mantra of the party, and they have created a position of hate. It's all about hate. We hate Trump, we hate this. And they're they're minions like Joy Bihar, this fucking nut bar who sits there on the stage and goes, Oh, by the way, socialism is good. Because if it wasn't for socialists, we wouldn't have firemen. Like, what the fuck are you? What's your problem? We have had firemen before there was something called socialism, and and socialism has nothing to do with firemen. And yet you twist and you twist and you twist. Social programs does not equal socialism. Get the difference, but they're playing this up because we would rather grab power from the Republicans and really mess up the country than do what's right for the country. Welcome to America 250. This is your Democratic Party. I've said it all of last week, and I'll continue to say it. If this is what you want as a country, you're gonna scare people away. Stuart, last thing I'm gonna share with you.

What Visitors Say About America

SPEAKER_01

You know, the Democrats wanted to tell everybody, the whole world, that nobody likes America. America's hated around the world. Well, you talk to World Cup fans who've been flooding into places like Philadelphia and Boston and Miami and Los Angeles and San Francisco and whatever, and Jersey, and they're telling you, yeah, they're telling you the exact opposite. So I'm sitting here going, what's wrong with the Democrats today? What's wrong with them that they are so hateful of America? Is it is this what they want to really and get over this? The 250-year field experiment. Shut up. Shut up. What made America great and what people should are aspiring to is the opportunities. Okay, when the Founding Fathers built up founded the United States, it wasn't about let's let's build a copycat of England. It's let's find a different way of living freely from an autocracy, from a monarchy, from all this stuff, giving people freedoms. And the Democrats are wanting to take it all away from you.

SPEAKER_00

Kind of reminds me of Summers and Dollar Desermo and this kid. And all you heard was crickets. Anyway, let's wrap it up, buddy. Let's wrap it.

Wrap Up And Where To Listen

SPEAKER_00
