Talarico’s CNN Townhall Goes Off the Rails

Josh Holmes (0:00)

Talarico, his cat just straight went missing for 10 days.

Michael Duncan (0:04)

But like he disappears off the campaign trail for 10 days or whatever?

SPEAKER_3 (0:07)

Can we talk about that?

Michael Duncan (0:08)

Didn't just do a video real quick? Like you can't get between this guy and a camera to do videos on any other day.

John Ashbrook (0:13)

That's a good point.

Comfortably Smug (0:14)

This nails down who Talarico is at his core.

SPEAKER_6 (0:17)

And the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion. It means you and I both have to look at different scriptures to try to come to a conclusion.

John Ashbrook (0:24)

So is it silent on abortion, or are you picking and choosing different scriptures that fit your political mold?

Michael Duncan (0:32)

The midterm elections are here.

And 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.

The only political podcast worth listening to is the Ruthless Podcast.

It's time for our main event.

SPEAKER_3 (2:07)

The Ruthless Podcast.

Josh Holmes (2:09)

Fun Time Friday.

Welcome back to the Ruthless Variety Program. I'm Josh Holmes, along with Comfort Relief Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook. Left to right across your radio dial, as absolutely always. It's been a hell of a week. Not over for us, by the way. We're doing a Sunday show on Fox News.

Comfortably Smug (2:26)

That's right. Everybody, when you are at home after church, Sunday at noon, do it on Fox News. Enjoy some fun times with us, and then you can throw the football game right after. It's the perfect set up.

Josh Holmes (2:38)

Yeah, noon Eastern.

Comfortably Smug (2:39)

It's great. Can't beat it.

Josh Holmes (2:39)

We're just going to pilot you right in between church and football.

John Ashbrook (2:43)

Little bit of fun with the fellas.

Comfortably Smug (2:45)

That's it.

Josh Holmes (2:45)

Have a little fun, get a couple of yucks, and get caught up on all of the news and world events that are going into this upcoming midterm election. So Talarico, his cat just straight went missing for 10 days. And they provided a grand total of zero clarification Other than he had the flu. And so, like, conspiracy theories ran amok, and like, where is he? Because, like, there was literally no updates, but he was just gone. And they show back up, went to a concert or something like that, and then last night, he was on CNN.

And...

You know, I mean, look, this guy, he is what he is. And we have reported a lot about what it is that he is. But like, there's a couple. about the real uncomfortable moments in this thing.

Michael Duncan (3:38)

You don't say.

Josh Holmes (3:39)

He takes it right to the face.

Comfortably Smug (3:41)

I feel like there's a reason they call him Talarico. And it's not because he's normal, well-adjusted, and not because he's very unnerving to be around.

Michael Duncan (3:47)

Do you think he has a fetish for pain?

Comfortably Smug (3:49)

Oh my God. I don't want to know what his fetish is. I don't either.

Josh Holmes (3:52)

What's that, sadomasochism or something like that? Different connotations when it comes to it.

Michael Duncan (4:00)

He's got a lot of it in that town hall.

Josh Holmes (4:02)

He did. Well, you judge for yourself, and we'll use it as a jumping off point. Clip one.
