Ruthless Podcast

It’s Fun Time Friday on the Ruthless Variety Program, and the fellas are working hard. Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook open with Ilhan Omar’s return from hiding — and a sit-down with Chris Hayes that managed to make everything worse. Asked point-blank whether she married her brother, Omar’s answer was “not to my knowledge.” The fellas break down why that’s the one question in politics where a hedge doesn’t work, plus the missing Somali records, the mysteriously changed birth year, and the $30 million financial disclosure from a congresswoman who now says she’s living paycheck to paycheck.

Then it’s over to the Minnesota Senate race, where Michelle Tafoya is taking on Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan — and the Free Beacon just reported that the Walz-Flanagan administration steered millions to a “harm reduction” outfit that hands out “booty bumping” kits (yes, with instructions), promotes “slamming,” and is required by the state to register its clients to vote. The fellas connect the dots on what Democrats actually get out of keeping addicts addicted.

Also in this episode:

Montana’s Democratic Senate candidate says the DNC tried to buy her out of the race with a no-show job so their “independent” could clear the field

Midterm state of play with polling and Kalshi odds: Democrats dump $1.2M into Mississippi, Susan Collins gains ground in Maine (with a Joe Manchin endorsement), and Mike Rogers keeps climbing on El-Sayed in Michigan

Your comments on the most absurd Democrat pandering of all time: Amy Klobuchar’s annual Vikings photo, Gavin Newsom’s “960 SAT” bit, and Mayor Frey’s lunch

Question of the day: What’s the most disqualifying thing a Democrat has done this cycle? Drop it in the comments.

Catch the fellas on Fox News Channel this Sunday at noon ET — the second and final Ruthless special before the election. From God to the gridiron.
