  • Another Dem Hoax Unravels + Rep. Steve Scalise Joins the Progrum
    đŸŽ™ïž The latest democrat hoax has fallen apart. The drug boat ‘scandal’ seems to be a big nothingburger. Democrats instantly shifted into defending traffickers once the hoax fell apart. After that, we break down the even stranger week on MSNBC, where Morning Joe skipped town for so long that even their audience noticed. As we looked around for them, it felt like half the media went into witness-protection mode the second their earlier narratives started blowing up. ⚡Then, a Joe and Mika super cut and another Biden disaster. USPS was ordered to buy thousands of EVs no matter how unready the technology was. Plus, Olivia Nuzzi finally sits down with a podcast to break down on camera. It was VERY theatrical. 🐘 House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the Progrum to talk through the early days of the new congressional session, what Republicans are preparing in 2026, and why the Biden administration’s regulatory spree is already forcing Congress into crisis-mode oversight. We talk message discipline, the border, and spending fights. It’s a sharp conversation and a great preview of the midterms. 00:00 – The Media’s Drug-boat Hoax Collapses 06:40 – Democrats shift into defending smugglers again 09:15 – Morning Joe vanishes for almost a full week 12:58 – USPS forced EV disaster unfolds across the fleet 26:44 – Olivia Nuzzi returns and media blowback 31:58 – House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the Progrum 38:20 – Scalise on 2025 agenda, oversight, and early fights Our Sponsors: ➱Go to https://zbiotics.com/RUTHLESS and use RUTHLESS at checkout for 15% off any first time orders of ZBiotics probiotics. ➱The future won't wait, and TC Energy is moving forward confidently: https://www.tcenergy.com/ ➱John Deere is investing billions in American factories and launching new tools to help customers repair their machines: https://www.deere.com/ ➱Insurance companies are threatening to raise your premiums and putting greed before patients.

  • Why are democrats defending criminals? Plus, Sen. John Thune Joins the Progrum
    đŸŽ™ïž There is absolute rot at the core of the Democratic Party, especially their constant need to defend criminals. We start with Senator Reed's baffling attempt to defend narco-traffickers, trying to paint them as mere "delivery drivers" in a discussion about supply and demand. We followed that with the unbelievably unhinged rhetoric from Debbie Wasserman Schultz. ⚡The left's entire ideology is now centered on opposition to Donald Trump, which leads them to support the indefensible, whether it's drug runners, domestic terrorists, or even murderers like Luigi Mangione, who now has his own fan club—the "Cougars for Luigi." This kind of political insanity is what we're up against. 🐘 Then, we got into a deep-dive conversation with Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune, who provided incredible insight into the unprecedented amount of Senate votes this year, driven entirely by the Democrats' desire to obstruct every one of the President’s nominations. Thune also broke down the Republican Party’s strategic message for the 2026 midterms 👑 We finished the show with the King of the Hill, pitting Smokin' Joe Walsh against Ron Filipkowski. Last, a variety story about a drunk raccoon that broke into a liquor store on Black Friday, passed out next to a toilet, and sparked a serious discussion about the dangers of trash pandas. 00:00 - Democrats Defending Criminals 03:22 - Senator Reed's Narco-Trafficker Defense 07:27 - Minneapolis Mayor Exploits Somali Clan Warfare 10:48 - Luigi Mangione's Expanding Fan Club 15:38 - Senator John Thune on Senate Obstruction, Record Votes, and Bipartisanship 24:08 - Thune Unveils the GOP's 2026 Midterm Election Message 46:39 - King of the Hill: Joe Walsh vs. Ron Filipkowski 58:48 - Drunk Raccoon Raids Liquor Store Our Sponsors: ➱The future won't wait, and TC Energy is moving forward confidently: https://www.tcenergy.com/ ➱John Deere is investing billions in American factories and launching new tools to help customers repair their machines: https://www.deere.com/ ➱Unleash American energy to be bigger and better than ever before, because when America builds, America wins. https://permittingreformnow.org/ ➱Insurance companies are threatening to raise your premiums and putting greed before patients.

  • Massive Democrat Fraud Exposed + Rep. Ashley Hinson
    đŸŽ™ïž There is an absolute horror show going on in Holmes' home state of Minnesota. We looked into the explosive New York Times story revealing a $1 billion fraud scandal involving the state's social service system under Governor Tim Walz. This wasn't just typical government waste; we dissected how members of the Somali diaspora allegedly stole hundreds of millions of dollars meant to feed children during the pandemic. đŸ’„ These Mafia-style tactics used to perpetuate the fraud are a common tool of the left. The fellas discussed how the nonprofit group, Feeding Our Future, threatened state agencies with accusations of racism and negative press to force them into approving fraudulent applicants, proving that the left has weaponized these accusations as a shakedown racket. We explain how the Democrats have outsourced these tactics to NGOs to pressure and capture institutions like corporate America. đŸ» In Variety, the fellas got into a hysterical segment about a viral video of a lineman saving a black bear from a power line and debated the merits of the new holiday gift, "Guido on a Ledge," a Staten Island-inspired Elf on the Shelf alternative. 🐘 Then, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for Senate in Iowa. She discussed her experience as a "mama bear on a mission" and how her background is helping her relate to Iowans on kitchen-table issues like affordability and school curriculum problems 00:00 - Serious Democrat Corruption In Minnesota 03:38 - How State Leadership Failed MN 05:51 - The NYT Details Fraud and Tim Walz's Involvement 24:44 - How "Mafia-style" Tactics Perpetuated Fraud 37:43 - Could the Stolen Money Potentially Fund Terror 47:48 - Thanksgiving Comments 51:07 - Tennessee’s Special Election and Democrat Extremism 01:06:22 - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on her Senate campaign, political issues, and musical talent Our Sponsors: ➱Beverage America believes in the promise that makes this nation great.

  • Can Trump Save Hollywood?
    đŸŽ™ïž The fellas explore the total collapse of Hollywood cinema and what it might mean for the American consumer. We all agree the movies just aren't what they used to be—you can't find a good, simple action flick or comedy anymore. Holmes points out how the shift happened during the Obama years, moving toward terrible, non-English, anti-American award bait. 🎬 The fellas drive home that Trump's greater influence lies not just in movie preferences but in reindustrializing the American film industry. We discussed how high taxes and regulations in California led to outsourcing production overseas, particularly to countries that incentivize making content with a cultural disposition that shows America in the worst possible light. If Trump provided competitive tax incentives to bring film production back home and coupled that with cultural benchmarks, it could reinvigorate American movies made for an American audience. đŸ“± Then, a new transparency feature comes to X and exposes the location of popular accounts. Many accounts posing as American patriots or constitutionalists are actually based in foreign countries. We explain how mainstream media journos rely on X's algorithm for "sentiment analysis" from "the base," which is easily polluted by these foreign accounts. Is it time to get rid of the algorithm entirely and return to a chronological timeline. 🐎 In variety: there’s a Namibian politician with the most unfortunate name as the most famous dictator in history. We can't believe a name like that not only exists but gets re-elected. Then, an absolutely insane clip of a rogue ambulance driving onto the inside rail of a track during a horse race in Louisiana 🐘 We wrap with Brent Gardner from AFP about the legislative agenda for the end of the year, focusing on energy permitting reform to boost American production and healthcare reform. We also hit on the importance of the NDAA as a vehicle for AI preemption legislation to ensure the US remains the global leader in technology. 00:00 - The Fellas on Hollywood's Decline and Trump's Cultural Reach 03:14 - Why Modern Movies Suck and Trump's Plan to Reindustrialize American Cinema 08:50 - Discussing Ben Smith's Semafor Article on Trump and Hollywood 15:59 - Hollywood Outsourcing Problem 28:52 - X’s New Transparency Feature 47:46 - Can We Fix X 52:32 - Unfortunate Politico Name and Wrong Way Driver In THE WORST Place 01:03:30 - Brent Gardner (AFP) on the Congressional Sprint to the End of the Year Our Sponsors: ➱Go to https://zbiotics.com/RUTHLESS and use RUTHLESS at checkout for 15% off any first time orders of ZBiotics probiotics. ➱Insurance companies are threatening to raise your premiums and putting greed before patients.

A reminder of the basic framework: you want your like-minded relatives excited to arrive, and the libs coming over to be stricken with fear.

We analyze the underlying issues when libs come to family dinner. 🍗 Then, your Ruthless recipe for Thanksgiving domination. We go from setting to setting throughout the Thanksgiving Day experience to prep you for maximum impact and help you create the greatest pain for your overly woke guests. 🏈 For dessert, your NFL turkey day preview and the one game that the fellas cannot believe is a prime-time feature. Plus, a little guidance for those degenerate gamblers listening to make it through the afternoon of pure, drunken alpha dominance. 00:00 - Thanksgiving: A Ruthless Opportunity for Activism 01:13 - Your Framework for Creating Fear 03:22 - Dissecting the Woke Anxiety 10:16 - The Ruthless Recipe: Preemptive Strikes and Setting the Scene 17:05 - The Meal as an Achievement Contest 20:55 - Put the Conversation on Offense 31:48 - Thanksgiving Day Football and Degenerate Gambling Guidance Our Sponsors: ➱Beverage America believes in the promise that makes this nation great.
