Summary

🔥 The Hogg Wars continue! 🐗 This week, the DNC infighting hits a whole new level. David Hogg, vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, is under siege from within. Party insiders are trying to sideline him after he pledged to primary fellow Democrats — and now he’s facing a formal challenge from Caitlin Free, a Native American attorney accusing the DNC of violating its own diversity charter. The Ruthless crew breaks it all down with trademark precision (and mockery). 🧠 Democrats implode while ignoring real issues. 🧨 Instead of focusing on the economy or meaningful policy, Democrats are off chasing shiny objects, like trips to El Salvador to defend known criminals. Polls show plummeting support, and yet their leadership is doubling down on chaos, not course correction. The hosts reveal how internal missteps are alienating even their own voters. 📊 Polls spell trouble for the Left! 📉 New data from Fox News shows Democrats hitting their lowest favorability in a decade — even behind Republicans. The guys analyze what the numbers say about voter sentiment and how Team Trump might seize the moment heading into Q3. 📺 Trump vs. ABC, the Media never learns! 🤡 Trump’s sit-down with ABC’s Terry Moran becomes a masterclass in media self-destruction. Moran comes in with the “gotcha” questions — and Trump dismantles him live. The guys break down how legacy media still hasn’t figured out how to interview the most media-savvy political figure of our time. 🏆 King of the Hill returns! 👑 Fan-favorite segment King of the Hill is BACK! Rick Wilson and Joe Walsh square off with their most unhinged takes yet. Which Never Trumper will earn the cringe crown this week? Duncan defends his title with fire — don’t miss the chaos. 🎧 From political power struggles to media meltdowns, economic strategy to total clownery — this episode has it all.

1:43.2	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 always. The big question that is facing much of the Democratic Party this week is, can they, as Democrats, beat the hog?
2:06.4	Open question. I told you it wasn't going to be the last time we talked about that you got one show exclusively related to the hog
