Guy named Hasan Piker, leader of the Progressive Left, has been begged and pleaded by the Democratic establishment to just simply go away.

SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

This is the guy who handpicked all the damn candidates.

SPEAKER_1 (0:12)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (0:13)

And no one has asked him a damn question till he shows up on this show and is just getting cucked.

Karl Marx said to each, according to his needs, you live in a $2.7 million house, why are your needs more important than 90% of other Californians?

SPEAKER_4 (0:28)

It's one of the most painful clips you'll ever see.

SPEAKER_2 (0:30)

Oh my God.

Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet. Now, they're messing with your credit card. Your credit card and the security it offers are under attack. The Durbin Marshall credit card bill would change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.

Credit cards keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections. That means higher risk of fraud, greater chance of stolen personal data, and the loss of rewards programs, just so corporate megastores can pocket billions of dollars and higher profits. Tell Congress to guard your card. Visit guardyourcard.com to take action and learn more.

The midterm elections are here.

If DSA Democrats win, they'll push a radical socialist agenda and drown President Trump in endless investigations. We've seen their playbook before. They tried impeaching him. They tried putting him in prison. They've tried everything.

Don't let them win. Because if we lose, they'll undo everything our movement has fought for. I need you to vote early. You can bank your vote and fight back against the left's turnout machine. Go to gopvotes.org right now and find out where you can vote. If you live in critical Senate battleground states of Maine or Ohio, early voting is already underway starting this week. Making your voice heard is easier than ever. You can get election reminders, look up your polling location and pick a date to vote early. Go to gopvotes.org today.

SPEAKER_7 (3:01)

It's time for our main event.

SPEAKER_8 (3:04)

The Ruthless Podcast.

SPEAKER_1 (3:07)

Good Thursday to all of you.

Welcome back to the Ruthless Friday program. I am Josh Holmes, along with comfortably smug Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook. Left to right across your radio dial is always a big thank you to all of you. You've joined us each and every day during our special midterm coverage here, four days a week. None of you look worse for wear.

SPEAKER_6 (3:27)

Well, that's so much fun.

SPEAKER_1 (3:29)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (3:29)

Fun because we're around our friends.

SPEAKER_6 (3:31)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (3:31)

Well, it doesn't feel like work when you're having this much fun.

SPEAKER_6 (3:34)

No.

SPEAKER_1 (3:34)

That's for sure.

SPEAKER_6 (3:35)

That's a secret.

SPEAKER_1 (3:36)

We got a big show here for you. We're covering every aspect of politics and culture. We got some variety. We're going to play a game today.

We also have Chris Winkelman who runs the House version, what you had last week with SLF and the Senate version of the outside spending that controls the vast majority of spending in House races. It's Congressional Leadership Fund. It's called, like we say, we don't just give you our thoughts and ruminations. We do that. But we also go to the source and see what they have to say about things because they're deeply involved and they've got like a thousand pages of polling a day that they're looking at. And so they give you a little better picture than anybody else in the world can provide. So you got that to look forward to.

SPEAKER_4 (4:22)

Holmes, are you telling me that political media is improved by talking to people who are doing the job?
