Ep 918: Welcome To Stupid Watergate Summer


Listen Later

We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore. After 15 years of ringing alarm bells about the Republican party's dangers to our democracy, we find ourselves in the midst of what we're calling "Stupid Watergate Summer" – and it's cooking now.

This week, we break down the eerie parallels between Nixon's original Watergate scandal and Trump's current pedophile coverup crisis. From mysteriously missing minutes in crucial evidence (sound familiar?) to panicked firings of key Justice Department officials, we're watching history rhyme in the most disturbing ways possible.

We explore how Trump's load-bearing lie – his promise to expose the "global pedophile ring" – is finally cracking under the weight of his own contradictions. When your entire political movement is built on fighting satanic pedophiles, what happens when you start covering for them instead?

Plus, we discuss the unprecedented blowback from Trump's own MAGA base, Elon Musk's social media meltdown over the Epstein files, and why this scandal has the potential to fracture the cult of personality that is modern Republicanism.

We also cover the week's news: hundreds of lawyers banding together against Emil Bove's judicial nomination, Trump's rambling speech about his uncle and the Unabomber, and Josh Hawley's pathetic attempt to roll back Medicaid cuts he just voted for.

Because when fascists are destroying democracy, the answer to every question is a noun, a verb, and Donald Trump's coverup of the Epstein Files.

Not safe for work. Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance.
