Why Are Democrats Such Losers? + California's "Gay Certification" Program

**Michael Duncan** (0:00)
Look over at the Democrats right now.
And you have to ask yourself, why are they such losers? Texas' James Talarico, 37, shares his only checking account with his mom.

**John Ashbrook** (0:15)
This is going to be the first of many, many stories that they put out on this guy, because you know it's a treasure trove of information that has never been revealed.

**Michael Duncan** (0:23)
Like, he doesn't really know how to adult on his own at 37 years old, which is crazy.

**Comfortably Smug** (0:28)
Okay, little Jimmy wants to be a senator now, so I guess now we have Schumer clear the way for him, and mommy's going to give him a donation through their checking account.

**Michael Duncan** (0:37)
He leeches off his parents, and he's sort of a loser at 37 years old.

**Comfortably Smug** (0:41)
This is the weakest lead you're seeing from a party having in a midterm when they're out of power.

When your child gets sick, time is everything. Getting treatment sooner means more options and a real chance at getting better.
And because of strong American leadership, we get new medicines three years faster than other countries. But that can change fast. In other countries, many are told to wait or go without. If Washington copies other countries' policies, we'll have to wait too. It's time to tell Washington, keep America in the lead.

It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome the great Sean Hannity.

Guys, I love you. Congratulations on all your success.

This is why you listen to The Ruthless Podcast, because nobody else would ask that question. The only political podcast worth listening to is The Ruthless Podcast.

**Comfortably Smug** (1:50)
It's time for our main event, The Ruthless Podcast.

**Michael Duncan** (1:56)
Fun Time Friday.
I'm Michael Duncan. Welcome back to the Ruthless Variety Program. Joining me is Comfortably Smug and John Ashbrook. Just a wonderful Friday.

**Comfortably Smug** (2:10)
I mean, this is going to be a really amazing show. The content that we have to work with today is, I mean, it's five star all the way. I'm excited.

**Michael Duncan** (2:20)
It's the beginning of a great weekend. It's Father's Day weekend. Shout out to all the fathers out there. Fathers here. New father.
Comfortably Smug. Away from your child right now, though. I'm getting ready to start playing Cats in the Gradle in the Silvers.

**Comfortably Smug** (2:36)
Well, I'm going to jump on a plane. I'm going to go home to my baby boy. But for our audience, it's worth it. And I'm thrilled to be here, especially for this show.

**Michael Duncan** (2:43)
I have something I want to share with you. I want to give you a picture into your future.
And this is why you do all the hard work you're doing right now raising your baby boy. And that is, I got this great Happy Father's Day card from my son, Joey. Of course, in classic little boy fashion, he made this at school. And then he crumpled it up and folded it 100 times. And he gave it to me like this.

**John Ashbrook** (3:09)
Oh, man, what a great kid.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:11)
I remember when I would do that. It makes sense just folding things 100 times.

**Michael Duncan** (3:14)
And then he's got the heart on the back.

**John Ashbrook** (3:16)
Oh, yeah.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:17)
That's awesome.

**Michael Duncan** (3:18)
Love dad. And then the inside's pretty funny too.
If I could get the thing open. Dear father, called me father. Dear father, we like you so much, you are the boss. To daddy from Joseph. And then he writes, the end.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:37)
Did you make sure you missed this, all that one?

**Michael Duncan** (3:39)
Of course. When he wants to get under my wife's skin, he'll go, daddy's the boss.

**John Ashbrook** (3:45)
Oh dude, and it's the kind of thing, he's already pre-folded, it's the kind of thing that you can keep in your wallet for the rest of your life.

**Michael Duncan** (3:51)
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. So great episode yesterday, going through all the ins and the outs, the MOU and the Iran deal. And obviously there's a lot of Republican infighting on this whole deal right now, as the administration makes their case and everything. And like, look, we got our problems on the Republican side. But then you look over at the Democrats right now.
