CNN Hack Michael Smerconish Melts Down After Getting Schooled by DOGE Dividend Creator James Fishback — Threatens to Cut His Mic and Calls ‘Time’ After Losing Debate (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 22, 2025 | Jim Hoft

During an interview with DOGE Dividend original creator James Fishback, a Trump-aligned entrepreneur and CEO of Azoria, Smerconish fumed and ultimately threatened to cut the mic when his leftist talking points crumbled under the weight of FACTS.

The DOGE Dividend, a bold new initiative supported by President Trump and spearheaded by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to return taxpayer savings back to hardworking Americans.

The plan proposes that 20% of the money saved through cutting government waste would be refunded directly to taxpayers, while another 20% would go toward paying down the national debt. But for some reason, this common-sense approach sent Smerconish into a full-blown meltdown.

Anyone remember when Smerconish was a fake conservative talk show host and then endorsed Obama because the Republican party was getting too extreme?


With McCain?!?!?!!

Always has been. I remember when he had a radio talk show on a Philly station. For years.

Then he started showing up on MSLSD and I knew the end was near.

If what you call what he did “conservative.”

I always had my suspicions.

My thoughts exactly. Why do they even give them an ounce of oxygen?

I remember when Drama Queen Smerconish was on Philly AM radio in the mornings, pretending to be a conservative.

Called and called him out several times. Obnoxious little twit…

I remember it too. I called in once about Obama not being a natural born Citizen. He hung up on me.

I also remember when he was signing off at the end of his time there and said he voted for Obama.

What a fraud

I called him on numerous occasions. I asked him why, as a conservative, he spoke so glowingly about Obama. He went ballistic on me for calling him a conservative and hung up on me.

I called back and told his female producer (I believe her name wa TC) to congratulate Michael for losing a listener on the air. Haven’t listened to him since and have no desire to ever hear his screeching voice again.

He always was an arrogant schmuck. Back then, my mom and I both stopped listening to him as well. Maybe he is “owned” by some of the elites and Elon’s work will expose it! Wouldn’t that wipe the smirk off SMIRKconish!

He changed after divorcing his first wife and marrying a lib. Suddenly he was pro-choice, anti Christian and a jackass.

What’s sad is I went to school with Smerconish. He used to be Conservative, but was **always** a massive self promoter. . .

Exactly. People may not like Smerconish, but he made a good point.

Re changed:

I think he probably was always the same… just good at covering it up to keep the radio gig.

You might be right. He was obnoxious.

Yep.

Smerconish actually wrote a book condemning supporters of the Philly cop killer Wesley Cook; a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal. Wouldn't surprise me If he (Smerconish) does a 180 and throws in with the commie 'Free Mumia' crowd.
