BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): We're also in favor of, obviously, saving our nation, and that's where our energies are gonna go to. Like, the wholesale energy of this show will be focused on the American people, not the people of Israel, not the people of Gaza, not the people of Donetsk and Kyiv. Don't I — don't care. They're not my people. This is my people. You're my people. America's my people. Like, we are more than just tax cattle for an economic zone set up by people who hate us. We're more than that. We're a nation with a legacy built for a purpose, a singular purpose, to forward the cause of liberty and freedom through the prism of Christiandom, which is the bedrock of Western civilization. That is what my nation is. And I have no allegiance to any other nation.

I don't have a dual passport. I don't like people who have dual passports. I don't want — like, I don't want — like, what's — I don't understand. Like, no. You shouldn't be allowed to, like, go be a judge here if you were born in another country. No. You can't be president. You shouldn't be allowed to be a judge. There's a good argument to be made that you shouldn't be allowed to serve in Congress if that's the case. I mean, legitimately, I'm totally OK with beginning that debate. Like, this is a country for Americans. That's it.

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): You know, Jesse, you're the person I go to when I want to know what's behind a story. What's going on with the escalator? What do you think?

JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Yeah, they sabotaged him. And they could have hurt the First Lady. Trump would've fallen and he would've gotten back up, but, you know --

GUTFELD: They would've blamed it on his rhetoric.

WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection. And what we need to do is either leave the UN or we need to bomb it. It is in New York though right?

GUTFELD: Yeah, it is.

WATTERS: Could be some fallout there. Alright, maybe gas it?

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Let's not do that.

WATTERS: Don't gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we will demolish the building.

PERINO: We could turn it into affordable housing.

GUTFELD: That's what you do, affordable housing.

WATTERS: No, I don't like that. I like nice sky rises, Dana, expensive condominiums. You can see the East River from there. No, this is absolutely unacceptable, and I hope they get to the bottom of it, and I hope they really injure, emotionally, the people that did it.

Charlie Kirk #sexist #wingnut mediamatters.org

From the August 26, 2025, edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, streamed on Rumble

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): But maybe one of the reasons why Taylor Swift has been so, just, kind of annoyingly liberal over the last couple of years is that she's not yet married and she doesn't have children. I say this non-sarcastically. I say this as a husband and a father. Having children changes you. Getting married changes you, and I hope that America's biggest pop star marrying the pharmaceutical spokesperson ends up conservatizing them. Taylor Swift might deradicalize herself. She might come back down to reality. I want them to have lots of children. It teaches something about -- teaches you something about yourself

…

Taylor Swift might go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter, and I think we should celebrate that. I think that Taylor Swift having two or three children -- she should have more children than she has houses. That is my challenge, Taylor Swift. And I'm not being sarcastic. I think that if she ends up having children, she'll stop this kind of liberal endorsing Joe Biden nonsense

And we want Taylor Swift on team America. We want you to leave the island of the wokeys. And we would welcome you with open arms. One of the reasons why so many people on the right have been just skeptical or at least a little bit negative on Taylor Swift is, up until this point, that's not a great role model for young women, to wait all the way until you're 35 and just put your career first[…]
All kidding and sarcasm aside, this is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative. Engage in reality more and get outside of the abstract clouds. Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge

And most importantly, I can't wait to go to a Taylor Kelce concert. I can't say it without laughing. You've got to change your name. If not, you don't really mean it

Michael Knowles #sexist #psycho mediamatters.org

There were the underage girls, girls who were underage. Some of the girls were 16. At least one of the girls was was as young as 14. That's bad.
[…]
But if you're 25 years-old and you're taking money from a rich guy to have sex with him, you're a hooker, and that's bad. You should not be a hooker. You should go do something else. But you're not necessarily a victim. You're certainly not a victim in the way that a 16 year-old girl would be.

Fox And Friends #wingnut #ableist mediamatters.org

JONES: Put him in a mental institution, put him in a jail, and you guys figure it out. But people having to duck and dive on the trains and the buses, walking through the street, this is one case, but this is happening all across the country, and it's not a money issue. They have given billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population. A lot of them don't want to take the programs, a lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary. You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're going to give you and — or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be now.

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.

JONES: Yeah.

KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.

EARHARDT: Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?

KILMEADE: Right, I would say this, we are not voting for the right people. In North Carolina, wake up. You can't put — keep putting these people in power. They woke up in Los Angeles, they got a stronger D.A. They woke up and they got rid of Chesa Boudin in San Francisco. Hopefully they will get rid of this terrible guy Alvin Bragg in New York. And now it's up to the people in the election which is whoever is up in November and that Senate seat that belongs to Thom Tillis who by the way yesterday said I don't want any help from the federal government to bring crime under control in cities like Charlotte. That's your decision. But Michael Whatley or you could have Governor Cooper. Governor Cooper gave you these terrible laws. Mike Whatley wouldn't. And he ran the RNC. These are the people in North Carolina. Purple leaning red state. They got a big choice. On this element, it is political. Because it's political because politics has to change this.

Matt Walsh #wingnut mediamatters.org

What does this have to do with the schools? Well, it has everything to do with the schools. By indoctrinating the next generation of Americans, they can preserve democracy in the sense of ensuring the results they want. They can control the democracy by shaping the people who participate in it. That's what she means. It's the only thing she said in that speech that means anything. And it is the reason, above all other reasons, why the public school system should be totally abandoned. And it's also why the Teachers Union President Becky Pringle is today canceled.

Katie Pavlich #wingnut mediamatters.org

KATIE PAVLICH (CONTRIBUTOR): When it comes to these local election of the New York City mayor, I mean, this is most important city in the world and its on the verge of electing an open communist who believes in blowing up buses and cafes as a sign of resistance called intifada and redefining that so that people don't really know what it means.

Matt Walsh #racist #god-complex #wingnut #elitist mediamatters.org

On Tuesday, The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh made the shocking claim that Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) is “not American” and should “go back to Cuba.” Salazar, in fact, was born in Miami and is an American citizen. Lashing out at Media Matters for pointing out this inconvenient fact, on Thursday Walsh reiterated his claim, arguing that citizenship does not equal American identity.

Salazar has been under fire in right-wing media for co-sponsoring the “Dignity Act of 2025.” Walsh has already called Salazar “a traitor” for co-sponsoring this legislation.

Working alongside the Trump administration, right-wing media have been on an escalating campaign to end birthright citizenship on the basis of a series of untrue myths. Walsh himself has called for an end to birthright citizenship and for deporting the American-born children of undocumented immigrants.

Salazar is not the only citizen Walsh has attacked. Last week, he claimed that Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh “was born in America, but he’s not actually an American.” Walsh has also claimed that Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the United States, is “not American and it’ll never be.”

Walsh is setting himself up as the judge and jury of national identity. Given that he believes “this country was in fact primarily built by white men," it’s not hard to figure out what he thinks constitutes an American.

Charlie Kirk #conspiracy #racist #sexist mediamatters.org


CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): First of all, young men don't like to take orders from women. They definitely don't want to take orders from women like that. That's, like, supremely unattractive to men. At the core of the Democrat Party is a coalition of resentment, envy, and hate. None of this is racist. In fact, this actually expands representation to Hispanics. The entire project is actually about expanding voices to Hispanics that are now voting for Republican. Oh, and by the way, just so we're clear, Jasmine Crockett's district, you're getting eliminated. Sorry. You have to go be an influencer, Jasmine Crockett. What skill set does she have? I think we all know.

...

KIRK: The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project. That is at the core of the Democrat project, at the core. And Jasmine Crockett is just some circus act in that entire operation. But it's deathly serious. She — you shouldn't take what she says seriously. It's just a joke. What she represents is very serious, which is the continue attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.

Multiple Fox News Hosts #wingnut #homophobia #transphobia #conspiracy mediamatters.org

JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Lesbians?
TARLOV: Jesse --
WATTERS: Or gays? Let's clarify.
TARLOV: Both.
WATTERS: Okay. That's what I wanted to hear.
TYRUS (CO-HOST): I don't want to see a straight couple kissing in a cartoon.
TARLOV: But you do --
DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): It's a cartoon.
[CROSSTALK]
PAUL MAURO (CO-HOST): What about trans?
TARLOV: But Sleeping Beauty. How do you save her? I mean, this is like --
TYRUS: She was dead, to be fair.
TARLOV: She wasn't. She was just asleep until true love's kiss.
MAURO: The problem is trans is next, and then whatever comes after that.
WATTERS: It's a slippery slope, Jessica.

Charlie Kirk #wingnut #racist #conspiracy mediamatters.org

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): We are in a state of national mourning as we should be, and the Democrats, they're so despicable. The Democrats are not lifting a finger to remember the well over 100 people that have died in Texas hill country. What you are not being told by the media anywhere is that the death toll likely would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI. This Texas tragedy is just the latest example. It's not just incompetence. This is DEI working to undermine meritocratic institutions, and more people likely died than otherwise would have because of DEI. Let me prove it to you.
In 2014, the Obama administration sued the Austin fire department, about 11 years ago, fire union for supposed racial discrimination resulting in a settlement. So the Obama administration was so worried that the fire department in Austin, Texas was racist because, you know, when you're putting out fires, you gotta make sure that you have a diverse fighting force. All jokes aside, well, the pressure was on the city to prove its diversity credentials. So a few years later, they picked Joel Baker as their first Black fire chief. He announced right away that promoting diversity is one of his top priorities. They brought him in from Atlanta, and his priority was not putting out fires or being prepared for floods. No. His priority was to make sure that the fire department was Blacker.

TYRUS (CO-HOST): This is the last place that you can see white people in their natural habitat. It's quiet. No one clanks, they're pleasant. They eat their fatty foods, you know, it's always a good time. I mean, we have Mexican restaurants, right? We have Spanish -- we have barbecue. We have soul food. Can we not have one white restaurant? Is that okay?
[…]
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): I see what you're saying. They're trying to take the cracker out of the Cracker Barrel.
TYRUS: Let them have one. Let you guys have one.
WATTERS: Right, and white people need to eat, and they need their places to eat.
TYRUS: There's a lot of them in this country.
WATTERS: You guys have Denny's. We have Cracker Barrel. We have Olive Garden, too. Do you guys go to Olive Garden?
TYRUS: No, Waffle House.
WATTERS: Waffle House, got it. But it's like they tried to make it younger, but Cracker Barrel's for old people. It's like trying to sell reverse mortgages to young people, or gold, or Relief Factor.
TYRUS: Or a My Pillow.
WATTERS: Or all the things we sell on Fox. You just have to keep your audience happy with what they're used to. That's why people will be watching Fox until they die.
[…]
WATTERS: The only thing that could've been worse, if they had made it Blacker Barrel, you know? That would have been bad. This they could recover from.
TYRUS: You are taking Katie's valuable time away with whatever just came out of your mouth.

Greg Kelly #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

GREG KELLY (HOST): So, remember this? Last year, President Trump last year in a courtroom flanked by two great attorneys, Emil Bove on the left and on the right is Todd Blanche. Today, where are these guys? Well, President Trump is in the White House. That's pretty awesome. Emil Bove has just been nominated for a judgeship, federal judgeship. And Todd Blanche is the deputy attorney general, the number two ranking official in the Justice Department. And he's about to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend in prison, Ghislaine Maxwell, to find out what she knows.
Let's find out what is this all about. And she's also been subpoenaed by the Oversight committee. I think this is great. I do have a feeling that she has been — she just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rush to judgment. There was a lot of chaos there for a while.
All right, granted, she hung out with Jeffrey Epstein, and I know that's apparently not good, but she's in jail. For how long now? 20 years. A 20 year sentence. Well, Alan Dershowitz is one of the greatest attorneys who ever lived. And he has this to say about Ghislaine Maxwell situation, speaking with Newsmax veteran Eric Bolling.
[…]
KELLY: She deserves to be out. And maybe she never deserved to be in there in the first place. Now, how could you say such a thing? I mean, these are perverts. These are child molesters. We've heard that from whom? From the media, from prosecutors. Prosecutors prosecuted President Trump over nothing. I don't know, but I'm skeptical of everything and everybody these days. And you should be too.

Michael Knowles #wingnut #fundie #homophobia mediamatters.org

If you can redefine marriage, if you can redefine the family, you can redefine all of society. If you can make the Little Sisters of the Poor betray their God, you can do anything. If you can redefine the basic constituent piece of the entire political order, you can do anything politically. That's what this is about. Those are the stakes.
[…]
Do the others? I hope. I hope Barrett and Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and Roberts have the fortitude, the courage, the vision to state what is obviously true, what every culture has known for all of human history, is that marriage involves a man and a woman. If we don't know that, if we no longer know that in our political life, we don't know anything. We don't know anything. They know that. Every even semi-reasonable person knows that fact. One question that we have is will the political order allow us? And I think yes.

Johnny Joey Jones #wingnut #racist mediamatters.org

JOHNNY JOEY JONES (CO-HOST): Lastly to Clyburn, if it's Jim Crow 2.0, just so you know, Jim Crow was pretty bad, but Jim Crow 2.0 is kind of great. I mean, we have it in Georgia and we had more people of color turn out and vote in this last election than ever before. So the more they use that -- the more they try to use the racist attack, the more the results yield something completely the opposite.

Laura Ingraham #wingnut mediamatters.org

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Don't you love how suddenly the Democrats are caring about the Epstein files?
[…]
INGRAHAM: Hakeem Jeffries is worried about that because they really pushed for release of files, if they exist, during the four years of Joe Biden. Look, they don't care about transparency. We know that. They think somehow this will hurt Trump, even though if it was going to hurt Trump, Biden obviously would have released it. It looks like it's already starting to backfire.
[…]
INGRAHAM: So, the media, on top of all that — so, the voters, they care about their jobs, their healthcare, the kids' school, crime, the border.
But the media's been hyping this idea of, well, Trump, you've got to hire a special prosecutor. You've got to appoint a special prosecutor. Okay, I think they've kind of dismissed that.
But my advice to the White House: do not ever fall into a special prosecutor trap. Never a special prosecutor.

Laura Ingraham #wingnut #dunning-kruger mediamatters.org

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): The doomsdayers, wrong again about tariffs causing inflation. They were wrong about tariffs leading to shortages. They were wrong about tariffs tanking the market, more record highs today if you didn't see that, and now more proof they were wrong about tariffs leading to higher prices. A new report today that Japanese car makers, contrary to predictions, are slashing prices of imports into the United States, not hiking them. So, the truth is tariffs work. Always have, always will. They boost our manufacturing and force others to get more competitive.

Matt Walsh #wingnut #racist #conspiracy mediamatters.org

MATT WALSH (HOST): So it isn't subtle. Democrats want foreigners to vote in American elections. Obviously, they want that. They couldn't be more clear about it. Now granted, this plan has drawbacks for Democrats. It's not working as well as they hoped or as well as it used to. Hispanics are increasingly voting Republican, especially Hispanic men. But that really has not quelled the Democrats' desire to flood our country with foreigners. And partly because they're confident — and there was a there was a lot of talk after the election. I think, some of it half joking, some of it not, that — and I've made similar comments that, oh, you know, Democrats now are gonna now they're gonna finally wanna build the wall now that they've seen that, Hispanics are are beginning to vote against them. But that hasn't actually happened, and I think most of us knew that it wouldn't actually happen. They still support illegal immigration. They still want to flood our country with foreigners, despite the the election results. And that's partly because they're confident in their ability to win the foreign vote by promising them access to the wallets and bank accounts of American citizens. They're confident in their ability to bribe foreigners into supporting them, in other words. So that's that's part of it. But, also, this isn't all about voting.
You know, we like to say that Democrats want to import new voters, and that's true. They do wanna import new voters, but this isn't just about winning elections. After all, election victories are fleeting. They're transitory. Right? You win some elections, you lose some elections. The deeper goal is to reshape America demographically. It is to make America less white, less European by descent. It is ultimately about the destruction of Western civilization. That's the great villain for these people. That's the great white whale, you know, literally white in this case that they wish to slay. You're not gonna destroy Western civilization just by winning the next midterms or whatever. You destroy it by importing non-Western people. You do it with demographic replacement.

Greg Kelly, Cahrlie Kirk #wingnut mediamatters.org

GREG KELLY (HOST): I'm proud to say the we led with the GDP and the trade and the 1.3 trillion —
CHARLIE KIRK (GUEST): Oh I know you did.
KELLY: Because it hasn't been emphasized enough.
But hey, do me a favor. Look at these presidents. We were just talking about your typical standard president, I noticed something about these guys. I want to take you through it. They all got into politics young. And there's nothing wrong with getting into politics young. But — and then they became president. They started working their way up the ladder. President Trump got into politics at the age of 69. And I felt like, you know, he accumulated world class talent. None of these guys had world class talent at anything, you know what I mean? They were effective politicians. And a case can be made for an older person who has world class talent, contributions that could be made in some sector other than politics. That's what President Trump has brought to the table. And I think it's magnificent. And I think it's worthy of emulation. It might be impossible, but I like the idea. Can I just get your thoughts on that?
KIRK: Yeah. There will never be another President Trump. But understand he brought his business expertise, his business acumen to the international order. They're not used to dealing with somebody like President Trump. You see he is willing to use tariffs to defend American workers. He is willing to stand up against all the expert class. Remember, during Liberation Day, the market went down. Everyone was panicking. President Trump stood resolutely. Now the market is at record highs. We have record crushing market caps. And you look at where we are at the end of July. Almost every single one of these experts is now eating crow, as they should. Every one of these experts now, they made these bold proclamations that were wrong. And now the other countries are begging to get into the United States. They are begging to get entrance into our markets because we have made this the most desirable, hottest country on the planet, thanks to President Trump's leadership.
KELLY: And Charlie Kirk, if you look at the blogs and you look at the websites, a lot of folks think that you're going to be leading this country some day. We'll have to talk about that in the not too distant future. Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA. You changed the world. You helped change the world. And that's amazing.

Sean Hannity #wingnut #conspiracy mediamatters.org

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I need to manage people's expectations. There's so many big balls in the air, because it's so transformational and consequential.

I just urge conservatives to stand back, give people a little bit of breathing room, and give them time to get their bearings and to get dialed in and get the right people in place. Because a lot of these departments have to clean out a lot of the deep state that is within them that are sabotaging them.

Benny Johnson and Mike Flynn #wingnut #conspiracy mediamatters.org

From the July 21, 2025, edition of The Benny Show[…]

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Final question, general. Since you are a military man, you rose to the highest conceivable ranks within the military and within the civilian structure in the White House. Your credentials are impeccable. When Stephen Miller calls this a seditious conspiracy, when Tulsi Gabbard calls it a traitorous act, treason against our country — those seem like legal terms, but also really military terms. And since Barack Obama was the commander-in-chief, what angle would it be to go at this from a military perspective?[…]
MICAHEL FLYNN (GUEST): I would. I absolutely would. I would advise them to go after on those terms and make sure that they have them locked in tight in terms of the legalities

But what I want people to understand is, you know, after World War II, we had the Nuremberg trials, and there was a lot of people that were found guilty. And because they stood at — when they got on the stand, they said, well, I was just following orders. Well, Jim Clapper, John Brennan, Jim Comey, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, and many others, Lisa Monaco, many, many others, you're not gonna get away with it

If Barack Obama directed you, and it appears that he did — this is very intentional. This eight December 2016 meeting that they had where it looks like[…]
In addition to some of the other critical criminal evidence that has been discovered, yeah, I think that they're gonna have to look at conspiracy, treason, traitorous activities by some of these people[…]
They were ready to convict and throw Donald Trump in prison for the rest of his life, Benny. And so, you know, all bets are off when it comes to immunity. There's no immunity for this president, not for President Obama for what he did

JOHNSON: Could you have a military tribunal for the commander-in-chief?

FLYNN: I'm not — you know, I don't know. But, you know, but it'd ought to be explored, Benny. It should be explored

Matt Walsh #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

MATT WALSH (HOST): So, this is supposed to put a stop to Trump's deportation efforts. That's the idea anyway. And it's — this is completely bogus. It's illegitimate. It's ridiculous. Trump should ignore it. That's the only answer. The Supreme Court doesn't have the authority to tell the president that he can't deport illegal aliens. They don't have the authority to set up — to set policy on, you know, on how that is carried out. They don't have any authority to do that.
I mean, it's nice that they've given their opinion. So, the Supreme Court has given their personal opinion that they think, you know, if you're gonna deport an illegal alien, they should get more than 24 hours notice. So that's their personal opinion. Thanks for letting us know, guys. Really interesting. I'm glad you chimed in. Really interesting opinion. Thanks for that. Anyway, let's get back to deporting the illegal aliens. Like, that has to be the answer because they don't have the authority, so Trump should just ignore them.
And what are they gonna do about it? What are they gonna do about it? There's no enforcement mechanism. They can't compel him to do anything, so ignore them. And where does that lead? What happens? I don't know. But it's — this comes to a head. It's time for this to come to a head. The judicial branch thinks that it can usurp the authority of the executive branch, and the only way to put a check on this madness, the only way to shut down this power grab by the judicial branch is to disregard them and dare them to try and do anything about it. It's the only way.

Sean Hannity #wingnut mediamatters.org

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Anyway, it'll be the first time in decades, and this really is beginning to infuriate me. And I want to explain why I'm getting infuriated by this. We are supposed to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave." We are supposed to be a people that are brave and think out of the box. And this is driving me nuts.
America has been taken advantage of by many of our closest allies, which I will go into great detail and specificity, and we seem like a bunch of gutless, spineless cowards because finally, you got a president that actually thinks out of the box.
He is not myopic, and he is demanding a very simple principle be applied from allied countries, other countries as well, and that is free and fair trade.
We have been abused. We have been taken advantage of. We've become a sucker nation in many, many respects when it comes to the issue of tariffs, and no president has had the courage until Donald Trump, and it's paying off big time. That's another part of the equation that people refuse to even acknowledge.

Jesse Watters #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Dumb power is fighting unwinnable wars, defunding the police, opening the border. Feeble is falling down and falling asleep. And being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We're not in high school. We don't need friends.
Every country puts their interests first. And when our interests align, we can do business. And when they don't, that's life. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys. We dropped A-bombs on Japan and now they're our top ally in the Pacific. We may have to burn a bridge to build a big, beautiful new one to the next generation. America is not handcuffed by history.

Jesse Watters #elitist #psycho #wingnut mediamatters.org

You know [Trump]'s going to go to the Olympics in four years and he's going to want to light the torch, Jessica. He's going to want to hold the torch in LA, you're just going to have to face it. It's going to happen. All the homeless are going to be cleared out of LA, they're going to be gone to a mega prison somewhere, Camada will be competing - with us, under the Stars and Stripes, and I think the palisades will probably be condas (?) under the Trump banner.

Alan Jacoby, Paul Ingrassia #sexist #wingnut #dunning-kruger mediamatters.org

ALAN JACOBY (HOST): I don't want a woman as a vice president. My wife – I am married to the biggest misogynist this side of the Mississippi, by the way.

My wife literally thinks women should not vote. I tend to agree with her a lot –

PAUL INGRASSIA (GUEST): She’s very based.

JACOBY: Unless of course you’re voting for Donald Trump.

…

And Nikki Haley, forget about it. Forget Nikki Haley birdbrain, warmonger. It's – There's no way. I'd have to agree with Tucker Carlson. I'd have a hard time if that was the VP choice because she'll be just eyeing for 2028 or whatever the case is if they could somehow take Trump out, and I just I could not, I couldn't see it.

INGRASSIA: She's so terrible. She's so incompetent. I mean, it's amazing that she even had that position as ambassador to the United Nations. I mean, I can't believe this woman made it so far in her professional political career given how dumb she just sounds on the campaign trail. And the fact that she is so, I mean, she's pretty decently financially supported. I mean, you really just question the sanity of the people who are behind her. I mean, this woman sounds like a child.

She shouldn't even, you know, she shouldn't, she should be stripped of all of her titles. She should be deported if you were to ask me, you know, to tell you the truth, even though I realize she's — I guess she was born here.

Jesse Watters #wingnut mediamatters.org

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Behind the scenes, the president's been pounding the fact that the world's been ripping us off for 40 years, and he's on a mission to right those wrongs before the end of his term. The vision: turn the country into a place with thriving main streets and hometowns where American workers make American products sold to the American public. Doesn't that give you a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling inside? And he wants to make it easier for people to start families, afford homes, and go to college. These tariffs are for the children.

Laura Loomer #racist #elitist mediamatters.org


LAURA LOOMER (HOST): I'm not saying all Indians are scammers. Obviously, there's great Indians out there, but that stereotype out there, right? They say stereotypes exist for a reason. A lot of Indians are very pissed off with Rep. Shri Thanedar, right, because he's enabling stereotypes to, to percolate online. And a lot of Indians have messaged me, Indian friends of mine, great Trump supporters, patriots in this country, telling me that they are embarrassed by Shri Thanedar. So maybe he'll get a primary.

I don't know. I mean, if it's such a heavy immigrant community, it'd be nice to have an American there, like a real blood and soil American. But if we can't get a real true blood soil American to represent that district and it has to be an immigrant, there's gotta be at least a patriotic pro-MAGA, pro-Trump patriot immigrant who lives in that country. Although, you know, I will say I prefer to not have immigrants in Congress. I think that there should be a rule created that says that only U.S. born individuals can run for office or hold office in our country just like the rule applies to the president of the United States. I don't know really why that hasn't been enacted yet, personally. I mean, the biggest troublemakers in Congress happen to be immigrants. Look at Ilhan Omar, OK? I think she's the poster child for, why we need an immigration moratorium. But Rep. Thanedar is another example of how hostile a lot of these immigrants can be when they come to our country and we allow them to hold office. They should not be tolerated in my opinion.

Ben Domenech #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

BRIAN KILMEADE (HOST): By the way, just look at the RealClear average on approval. You would think by the negative publicity, an 87 to 92% of all news on Trump is negative. Look at Trump at 46.4%, at this point same with Obama and Bush, roughly the same approval rating. I think people like Ilhan Omar and other networks have just been turned off by the country.
BEN DOMENECH (GUEST): I think you're completely right. And when she says things like, you know, Somalia is better than America, you know, look --
KILMEADE: Okay.
DOMENECH: I looked up on Kayak today, the direct one-route ticket from Minneapolis to Mogadishu and it was less than $3,000, so she can afford it on her congressional salary. So, if she wants to go back there, go for it.
KILMEADE: You know it’s interesting, Ben, if you do take a 747 from Minnesota to Somalia, you will be the only one on the plane. So, it will be like – she can probably sit first class and book a coach ticket. So, it’s just these people are so ungrateful for the country.

Jesse Watters and Kayleigh Mcenany #wingnut mediamatters.org

JESSE WATTER (HOST): Do they want to get handcuffed and mugshot? Is that the deal because they think their popularity's going to spike the way Trump's did? And then they can say, "I told you, I told you he's a king, he's arresting politicians," even though they arrested Trump.

KAYLEIGH MCENANY (GUEST): I really think there is something to that and I know that sounds crazy and outlandish but when Tom Homan mentioned the arrest and potentially officials, how quickly did Gavin Newsom say bring it on, guys? And then you watch them in front of Congress, one by one, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on. They all want that mugshot, but here's the thing, Jesse, they can't get a mugshot like President Trump, the way he looked in the mirror and it's become so iconic. I don't think any one of those could pull off the handsome mugshot that President Trump did.

WATTERS: Maybe Gavin Newsom but it would take quite a bit of hair and makeup.

Steve Bannon and Ben Bergquam #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Right there, LAPD. The mayor is involved in this and having the stand down. She ought to be arrested today. Immediately.
Ben Bergquam, our own Ben Bergquam was supposed to be on ICE raids throughout the country today, but he's in the war zone. Ben, your report, sir.

BEN BERGQUAM (GUEST): Yeah, well, Steve, I'm just walking down here, the aftermath, as you said, the war zone. That building you see right there is the ICE headquarters here in Los Angeles. Just came down from the federal building. There's burned wreckage of cars that have been cleaned up. There's just burned spots everywhere you go.
You got City Hall right there where Karen Bass and all the communists invited this. The federal building is right down there.
You've finally got some law enforcement response. I was talking to a bunch of guys that were brought in from all over the state, who were finally here, but none of them really know what's going on.
They don't really seem to have a game plan other than standing out and having some sort of presence here, but you said it, Steve. This is a direct result of 4 years of the invasion that Joe Biden invited and fifty years of communism in our country that now finally is showing itself for what it is.
What's amazing is as you walk these streets, there's graffiti everywhere and the combination of words and different groups that are out here from the Palestinians to BLM to, as you heard MEChA, the La Raza contingent, these guys, you know, that absolutely believe they want to take this country back from America.

BANNON: Yep, summer of love part two. This time we need not just hard words, we need hard actions. Start arresting those officials that are getting in between ICE and other law enforcement trying to execute on the mass deportations this country needs.
Not even a question we're on the side of the righteous. You blink now, you're not gonna have a country. Very simple. You blink now, you're not gonna have a country. We're in the no blink group.

You see right there, he's in the breach and they're coming, and they're coming after Pete Hegseth. So, not today, maybe the days you get Bill Blaster, you get some of the tools that Grace and the rest of the team have made available to you.
We're not gonna go to the ramparts today. We're gonna think this through to have Pete's back, but Pete Hegseth's in the middle of the fight and you've seen the leaks are going on in the deep state.
He's only beginning — the beginning process of the reorganization. Look, you know, I'm as big a hawk as you got. The Defense Department's budget's got to be cut. You have to show a signal that this thing's not gonna be — and with the hemispheric defense, the new strategic concept that President Trump has from Panama to Greenland, the Pacific and the three island chain, and is also talking about, I don't know, an Iron Dome or some sort of aspect of an anti-ballistic missile.
You hermetically seal the United States all the way from the Arctic, the new great game of the 21st century, the great power struggle in the Arctic. It sounds like your focus is less on the Eurasian landmass and — as it should be. And back here, not isolationist, but putting America first and America's citizens first and America's national security first.

Greg Kelly #wingnut mediamatters.org

GREG KELLY (HOST): You know, it's interesting. That was right at the peak height of -- well, Ghislaine Maxwell didn't have a friend in the world. He could've easily gotten away with saying, you know, what the media wanted to hear. But he didn't, and I find that remarkably human, and it's telling. And it signals to me that there's something else going on here and that it's an injustice.
It reminds me of when President Trump, among anybody in the country, really, in public office, he would talk about Ashli Babbitt. Do you remember that? And he gained nothing, really, politically, from talking about that. I mean, he scored points with me and those who know the truth about Ashli Babbitt. But there are a lot of folks -- Republicans, even -- a lot of folks did not want to talk about January 6th. He did. He did. It reminds me of the kind -- has the same feel. Ghislaine Maxwell he would talk about, and he did it in a certain way.
Now, folks, I know people are horrified when I say there's a possibility that this individual just might be innocent, but think about it. Who's told us about her? The most reviled institutions in America, right? The media and the Biden Justice Department. Right? They did the heavy lifting on this stuff.

Jesse Watters #wingnut mediamatters.org

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): The Supreme Court ruled last night that a gang banger, who Democrats described only as a Maryland dad, has to come back after Trump deported him to El Salvador's mega prison. Democrats spiked the football.
[…]
This is the dumbest story I've ever heard. Trump deported an illegal alien gang banger from El Salvador back to El Salvador, and the Supreme Court's saying he has to fly all the way back so he can deport him all over again in a different way? It's like when you bank in a three and your buddy says "You didn't call bank." I don't care, it went in.

So the left's celebrating a gang banger coming back into the country while they call him a Maryland dad. The government said he's MS-13 and he's involved in human trafficking, and a local immigration judge let him stay only because he said a rival gang would kill him if he went home to El Salvador. So American lives are in danger because we don't want to put a gang banger's life in danger back home? And how many Maryland dads have bounties on their head from Latin gangs? But Eric Holder says we've got to stand up for illegal alien gang bangers' rights.

Michael Knowles #homophobia #transphobia #wingnut mediamatters.org

MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): What is supposed to be surprising? That a kid was kicked out of school? Kids get kicked out of school. Kids are suspended and expelled from schools. So that shouldn't be surprising.

What is surprising is that it was for transphobia or homophobia or whatever. But that shouldn't be surprising either because according to the morality constructed and enforced by the left, the new official morality — which is rather immoral, it's untethered from the actual objective moral order, but it's still a kind of a morality that is enforced — then some of the worst sins in the world are homophobia and transphobia.
[…]
So in a traditional society, in a normal society, those are the kinds of things you'd be punished for — stealing, lying, committing violence. But in our ridiculous modern liberal society, those actual sins are replaced by fake sins like homophobia and transphobia. So, yeah, this should be totally expected. Kind of like the two-tier system of justice in the UK. If you insist upon diversity and equity and inclusion and artificially boosting certain groups and artificially — well, even if you just engage the former, you're going to necessarily have to suppress, artificially, other groups. Same thing here. No surprise at all.

We will look — mark my words. If you're a lib — there are plenty of libs who listen to this show. If you're a squishy Republican, there are plenty of them who listen to this show too. We will look back on the experiment of so-called gay adoption and IVF and surrogacy with the same moral horror with which we are already beginning to look back on transing the kids. We were transing the kid -- in some places, they're still transing the kids, but it's clearly falling out of favor. We were transing the kids in a robust and excited way two years ago, three years ago. We are already beginning to look back on that experiment with abject moral horror. We will look back on gay adoption and surrogacy and IVF in exactly the same way. And it's not because all the men and all the women have terrible intentions and terrible desires. Many of them have very good desires and very good intentions. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the evidence is clear. And to deny the evidence is deeply sinful, and we need to cut it out.

Sean Hannity #wingnut #fundie mediamatters.org

CALLER: The pope and his comments on social media, I can only attribute -- he's a righteous and good man. I actually did kind of a deep dive this morning, reading some online articles about his past, his family. By all accounts, he is a holy and good man. And when he comes out and makes statements, such as he made about the kids in cages or JD Vance, I have to attribute it as misinformation, the media lying to a very righteous and good man. They are misleading -- you know, it's Lucifer has been said --

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Well, he has allowed himself to be misled. I mean, I think you're letting him off the hook. I mean, kids in cages happened under Obama. Kids in cages happened under Joe Biden during COVID, and I've got the video to prove it. And he did, you know, -- and yet, it's unfortunate that he's getting political. In the case of JD Vance, you know, love God with all your heart, and then he talked about that means loving your family, that means loving your neighbors, loving your community, loving your country, and then expanding out and loving the world. I mean, that is not at odds with the gospel.

Sean Hannity #wingnut #psycho mediamatters.org

The president's well within his bounds to cut off funding for Harvard. Frankly, I don't think we should be funding any of these universities, especially those with massive endowments like they have.
You know, and you hear Chuck Schumer, "They're cutting cancer research. They're -- people are going to die." No. That's not how it works. That's where the private sector comes in. That's where all these companies, you know, the evil pharmaceutical companies, they do invest a fortune. They're not all evil to come up with medicines to cure human conditions that otherwise aren't going to get cured.
