Can The DNC Beat Hogg?

🔥 The Hogg Wars continue! 🐗 This week, the DNC infighting hits a whole new level. David Hogg, vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, is under siege from within. Party insiders are trying to sideline him after he pledged to primary fellow Democrats — and now he’s facing a formal challenge from Caitlin Free, a Native American attorney accusing the DNC of violating its own diversity charter. The Ruthless crew breaks it all down with trademark precision (and mockery). 🧠 Democrats implode while ignoring real issues. 🧨 Instead of focusing on the economy or meaningful policy, Democrats are off chasing shiny objects, like trips to El Salvador to defend known criminals. Polls show plummeting support, and yet their leadership is doubling down on chaos, not course correction. The hosts reveal how internal missteps are alienating even their own voters. 📊 Polls spell trouble for the Left! 📉 New data from Fox News shows Democrats hitting their lowest favorability in a decade — even behind Republicans. The guys analyze what the numbers say about voter sentiment and how Team Trump might seize the moment heading into Q3. 📺 Trump vs. ABC, the Media never learns! 🤡 Trump’s sit-down with ABC’s Terry Moran becomes a masterclass in media self-destruction. Moran comes in with the “gotcha” questions — and Trump dismantles him live. The guys break down how legacy media still hasn’t figured out how to interview the most media-savvy political figure of our time. 🏆 King of the Hill returns! 👑 Fan-favorite segment King of the Hill is BACK! Rick Wilson and Joe Walsh square off with their most unhinged takes yet. Which Never Trumper will earn the cringe crown this week? Duncan defends his title with fire — don’t miss the chaos. 🎧 From political power struggles to media meltdowns, economic strategy to total clownery — this episode has it all.

Did Journos Really “Miss” Biden's Health Issues? - WHCA Dinner

🔥 This year’s White House Correspondents' Dinner 🏛️ revealed everything wrong with establishment journalism. Instead of honoring reporters who told the truth early — like Siobhan Hughes and Annie Linskey — the event rewarded those who played it safe. Fearless reporting was ignored in favor of those who went along with the narrative. 📸 Behind the scenes, cringe-worthy mistakes and elite cluelessness 😬 stole the spotlight. Smug and Duncan took photos with liberal media darlings like David Hogg and Brian Stelter, who didn’t even realize they were being trolled. The highlight: organizers accidentally spotlighted Yamiche Alcindor while honoring April Ryan. You can’t make this stuff up. 🧠 The team exposes Biden's mental fitness and the media cover-up 🤯. Alex Thompson won an award for reporting Biden’s decline — long after others risked their careers to say the same thing. Real journalism was punished; political timing was rewarded. The press ignored what millions saw with their own eyes until it became undeniable. Don't miss our special interview with Tim Murtaugh as he details his fight to end the Biden pill penalty.

IMPLOSION: Dems Anti-Trump Deportation Narrative Unravels

In today’s episode of Ruthless, Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook dissect the explosive Abrego Garcia case and the Democrats’ crumbling narrative. This episode pulls no punches, exposing how media spin and political missteps are unraveling the left’s strategy. 🔍 The Abrego Garcia Firestorm: The media branded him a “Maryland man” wrongly deported, but the truth is far darker. We unpack the evidence; court documents, gang affiliations, and knuckle tattoos spelling out “MS-13,” revealing why ICE and two courts flagged Garcia as a member of one of the world’s most violent gangs. The Ruthless crew breaks down how Democrats, led by Senator Chris Van Hollen’s high-profile stunts, bet big on a flawed case to attack Trump’s deportation policies, only to be left scrambling when the facts emerged. 💥 Democrats’ Messaging Disaster: From hailing Robert Mueller to propping up Garcia, the Democrats’ playbook is faltering. We explore how their reliance on media-driven sob stories, like the “Maryland man” narrative, backfires when the truth surfaces. The crew discusses why the left’s shift from praising high profile anti-Trump figures to defending questionable cases signals a deeper crisis in their ability to connect with voters. Can they recover, or is this the final nail in their messaging coffin? 🎙️ Why This Matters: This isn’t just about one case, it’s a window into how political narratives are built and destroyed. With sharp analysis and no-nonsense commentary, the Ruthless team connects the dots between media bias, Democratic miscalculations, and the public’s growing skepticism . 👉Join the Conversation: Do you think the Abrego Garcia case will halt Trump’s deportation agenda?
