Former Congressman Dean Phillips just laid out the best strategy for Democrats to escape their current mess. There’s just one problem—they can’t do it without defunding themselves into oblivion.
Sure, they’d still get their government salaries, but that’s not enough for this crowd. These people aren’t in politics to serve—they’re in it to build wealth through bribes, kickbacks, and inflated contracts. They’ve grown accustomed to living off the taxpayer dollar, using foreign aid, media manipulation, and corporate partnerships to funnel money back into their own pockets.
Here’s how the scam works: American corporations partner with the U.S. government, which then funnels money to Ukraine (or another foreign front). A cut of those billions goes into media spending—MSNBC, CNN, legacy newspapers. Some of it ensures they ignore the corruption, and even more of it pays them to push propaganda. It’s a perfect cycle of money laundering and narrative control.
Then we shift to the Left’s existential crisis. They’re still scrambling to understand why they can’t replicate the success of right-wing media. The answer is simple: they have no principles. Admitting the lies they pushed—about Russia, COVID, Ukraine, censorship—would mean admitting they got played. And their egos can’t take that hit.
So instead, they double down. They reject the one strategy that could save them, ensuring their slow, inevitable collapse. On today’s show, we break it all down and come full circle on why the Left is stuck, and why their own corruption is their greatest weakness.
