Newsom's Embarrassing Primary Plot Revealed As Democrats Scramble to Position for 2028

Josh Holmes (0:00)

Let's start out with Gavin Newsom.

Mark Teixeira (0:02)

Kamala, yeah, I don't know if she runs, but we'll see.

SPEAKER_3 (0:05)

I know she's called around.

SPEAKER_4 (0:06)

Yeah, but I wouldn't run if she ran.

SPEAKER_5 (0:10)

If she runs, you will not.

SPEAKER_3 (0:11)

Of course not.

Comfortably Smug (0:12)

Why would I?

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

I wouldn't do that to her, I wouldn't do it to me. Why would I? I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't waste everyone's time.

Comfortably Smug (0:18)

I wouldn't run if Kamala ran, and Jake Taffer's like, oh, he's breaking news, you know? Oh, what do you mean? And then Gavin is just such a dumb guy. He's like, well, I wouldn't run if you run. And Taffer's like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_9 (0:27)

What? It's when your buddy like offers to help you move. You know, he has no intention of sitting on the sidelines.

Cancer, a life-changing, terrifying diagnosis millions of Americans receive every single year. But thanks to American innovation, patients can fight back and take back control of their lives. Breakthroughs in cancer treatment are delivering for American patients. Therapies that once required long visits to specialized facilities to sit for hours in an infusion chair can be ministered more affordably, quickly, and conveniently in a shot closer to home. But bureaucrats in Washington are threatening to change that. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, quietly proposed a little-known rule called the Fixed-Dose-Combination Drug Policy. It sounds harmless, but this is a dangerous expansion of Joe Biden's price controls in the Inflation Reduction Act. This policy punishes cancer patients by targeting the faster, less invasive treatments they overwhelmingly prefer with a policy that makes this innovation disappear. There is still time to stop this, but only if you make your voice heard. Tell your senator to stand up for cancer patients by standing up to Washington bureaucrats. Protect the treatments patients prefer and deserve. Make your voice heard at americancommitment.org/cancer.

The Ruthless Podcast.

Josh Holmes (2:44)

Fun Time Friday.

Welcome back to the Ruthless Friday program. I'm Josh Holmes along with comfortably Smug, Michael, Duncan and John Ashbrook. Left to right across your radio dial as absolutely always. It's going to be a fun time today. Tax is in the house. Mark Teixeira.

You know him and love him for being a all-star baseball player. Well, he's also now a candidate for Congress. Couldn't be happier to have it, man.

John Ashbrook (3:12)

He's just a whale of a guy.

Josh Holmes (3:13)

You're going to love every second about that interview. Then we're going to have a fun time with a variety of topics.

There's stuff in here. Again, I feel like I'm uncomfortable with a lot of it. Not this particular show, but we did the Thursday thing with the Delarica stuff.

SPEAKER_9 (3:35)

But it's what the people demand. I got to tell you, pal, I'm not uncomfortable. In fact, I'm quite comfortable.

Josh Holmes (3:41)

Are you?

SPEAKER_9 (3:42)

Because I'm wearing this one wonderful fishing shirt.

John Ashbrook (3:44)

It looks great.

SPEAKER_9 (3:45)

Ruthless logo on it.

Josh Holmes (3:48)

Oh, you noticed?

SPEAKER_9 (3:49)

Oh, you see?

John Ashbrook (3:50)

Oh, you've noticed? Very cool. Have you noticed?

SPEAKER_9 (3:51)

Very cool. Yeah. So Sarah got these back up in the store and ordered a couple of samples into the office. Sarah's awesome, by the way. Shout out to her on our team.

But this, I think this when we did the trip to Texas, we were thinking to ourselves, like, maybe we need more like travel merch. Yeah. You know, so we could rep the brand when we're out there on the road and stuff. And this was one of the things that like really couldn't be more comfortable. It's so comfortable.

John Ashbrook (4:17)

Very smart.

Josh Holmes (4:18)

It's like wearing a pillow.

SPEAKER_9 (4:19)

Yeah. They're in the store if anybody wants to go grab one.

Josh Holmes (4:22)

And where do they get this store? Is that a URL?
