IHIP News: NEW SECRETS REVEAL Trump Admin CULT CONNECTION! Billionaires Are LOSING THEIR MINDS!

[00:00:00]Joining me today on I hit news in studio is Lee McGowan a political influencer behind you've seen our kitchen rants and the host of politics girl and best-selling author of a return to common sense. That would be nice.

[00:00:13]>> Wouldn't it? I mean wouldn't it?

[00:00:16]>> Lee, welcome to New York. How are you?

[00:00:19]>> I'm really good. I am so glad we're finally doing this.

[00:00:22]>> I know. I said when I met you I was like I feel like we're already friends cuz our vibe is exactly the same. Like I feel like if you and I had met in like high school we'd be like, "Girl."

[00:00:30]>> Right? Immediately.

[00:00:31]>> would be like, "Those two are very mouthy."

[00:00:34]>> [laughter] >> We would have been in big trouble.

[00:00:36]>> I know.

[00:00:36]>> Okay, speaking of mouthy, let's go off on little Vice President Priss Pants eyeliner wearing JD Vance and this here he is in Switzerland. Just cannot help but make an ass of himself. Play the clip.

[00:00:49]>> Um what what what we told the Iranians yesterday is when you guys engage in what us Millennials might call trash talk, you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record. So, when they say things that aren't true, the president is going to respond to it. I'm going to respond to it. Americans are going to respond to it. When they make threats >> Okay, I've heard enough.

[00:01:11]>> I know.

[00:01:11]>> What do you What do you think of him lecturing people on trash talking?

[00:01:15]>> I I mean lecturing him on like Donald Trump is going to be setting one setting the record straight. You're like, [laughter] "JD, are you kidding me right now? Like we spend 500 hours a day trying to correct Donald Trump." Like the guy says whatever he wants it comes out of his head and then we're all like, "Oh, that sounds very reasonable, you know?" So, no. This is ridiculous. But I think JD's clearly on like a world tour to be like, "I'm perfectly fine. If something happens to him, look at me what a leader I am, right?" He's got orange your makeup on now. He's wearing tons more makeup.

[00:01:43]>> Yes.

[00:01:44]>> He's doing his book tour which is very peculiar to have be a sitting Vice President doing a book tour, right? Like get it you have a job, bro. Like it's you know, do your job. And it seems like everywhere they send JD, people fail.

[00:01:55]You know, like they send him to Hungary right before the event and >> Don't you think Trump's [ __ ] him over intentionally? Don't you think he gets off on this watching J.D. Vance face plant?

[00:02:04]>> I hope so, but I think Donald Trump is so busy looking in the mirror he has very little time to really do anything else.

[00:02:09]>> [laughter] >> I mean, look, J.D. is I find J.D. an embarrassment because J.D. is smarter than You know, Donald Trump is in this for Donald Trump and everyone knows that. He's making these decisions for himself. How can he get richer? How can he get more powerful? But J.D. is in it for whoever is paying the bills. J.D. is Thiel's man. J.D. is whoever is who he wants to be at the time, you know, he's a liberal, then he's a conservative, then he's a never Trump guy, and now he's, you know, the cleanup man. So, I mean, I don't know what >> his name three times.

[00:02:37]>> the guy has no idea who he is and none of us do either.

[00:02:40]>> Right. I always say that he is the country's biggest prostitute. And this is big news on the foothills of uh Melania Trump's former best friend Amanda Ungaro saying that uh Melania was a two-bit hooker. And but I still think that J.D. Vance is more of a prostitute than Melania because this man basically believes in nothing. This is his third name change, his third religious uh change before we get to 40.

[00:03:08]>> Yeah. And also, like I mean, consider who he married, right? He married a woman that was perfectly happy in her religion, perfectly happy, you know, immigrant family, and now he's anti-immigrant, anti-her religion, you know, she's trying to be a trad wife that got pregnant. Do you know what I mean? Like it's the whole thing of like now you're changing the people around you. He is an unfortunate creature because he's he's not a real person.

[00:03:29]There's nothing about him that's authentic.

[00:03:30]>> What do you make of this whole MAGA trend now where the women are It's like a a script. Uh get pregnant, have a podcast, preach uh trad wife ideology while doing your full-time job. You see Erica Kirk, um Katie Miller.

[00:03:51]Usha Vance has this like Have you seen it bedtime story thing?

[00:03:54]>> It's like a hostage situation.

[00:03:57]>> the most unfortunate thing. Like if you have ever we both have children. Yeah. I have read to children. There are 100,000 people in America that would be better and more kind and sweet reading to children. This is not this woman's gig.

[00:04:08]There's a reason she was did better in school than JD. There's a reason she was a top lawyer, right? She's a badass and she's completely you know, domiciled herself to be this person that JD needs her to be and she'll never be what JD needs her to be because she's not a white woman, right?

[00:04:24]Like this is problematic for him at this point. So she's trying to do everything to fit into a box that she will never fit into which I feel like happens to women all the time. We're like if I could just make myself, you know, if I could just make myself smaller or fit into this box and I think it's exhausting.

[00:04:37]>> You should be who you are. You're smarter than him. You're better than him. You had a better job than him. Go back to that. Show women who they should be. This tradwife thing is terrifying to me because it's it's almost like, you know, they're grabbing all these teenagers, right? I've seen a ton of 19-year-olds that are like, I'm you know, I'm 19 years old and I'm married and I just love my life and I have my iced coffee and then I make my husband his breakfast and then I go to Costco for the day and I'm like uh and Jessica Valenti who has a you know, a podcast called abortion every day. She does so much work in the anti-abortion space. She was like, where all the middle-aged tradwives? Where are their podcasts? Because they don't exist. You're not going to find some woman being like, I absolutely love that I gave up all of my autonomy and and I don't my husband left me and then I had no career and we don't see those podcasts. We see these tiny girls making cos playing as 50s housewives and it terrifies me for the youth because it's almost like they're one generation removed from what I witnessed my mom go through. What I witnessed my grandmother go through and they were both like don't do this. Don't choose this. This isn't what I wanted. It's just what was expected of me and I feel like I was the first generation as a Gen X to be told I could be anything I wanted to be working girl styles, you know, like wearing my power suit with my running shoes and going to work and being a mother and you know, and you realize as time goes on that you can't have everything all at once.

[00:06:00]>> Right.

[00:06:00]>> You can have everything.

[00:06:01]>> Right.

[00:06:02]>> I was a stay-at-home mother, trophy wife. Like really, if you look at it, my husband worked, I didn't work, I stayed at home with my son until he was 12, and I I'm so pleased that I did that. I am I only could have one child, and I'm so pleased I was able to spend that time with him. But my brain it atrophied. I mean, I went bananas at home. He If I had to do a train for one more I was like, and he's like, "That's not the right voice for Thomas the Tank Engine."

[00:06:31]>> Let me really has to go and >> Thomas the Tank Engine. You know what I mean? Like I was losing my mind. So by the time he was 12 and I went back to work, I was a far better parent, I think, because I was authentic to myself and to my child.

[00:06:43]I'm glad I got to do both, but I would never tell some young girl to just give up everything to do that. And that's what these people are telling them because they want to take away our votes, they want to take our rights, and by the way, you know who doesn't fight back? People who have young children at home, because they can't.

[00:06:58]>> I think that the 19-year-olds that are romanticizing this and the early 20-year-olds that are romanticizing this thing is one thing, but I appreciate that Katie Miller and Usha Vance, who are older and already have I think each is on their fourth child with people in my opinion that just have no business breeding, both Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance. We don't need more of these types of people. The fact that they are positioning themselves as aspirational women, I think there's going to be a backfire to that, because they're so unlikable. Katie Miller lecturing people about anything is just it's staggering to me. And then you get to Stephen Miller, who is consumed with James Talarico. I have never seen a man.

[00:07:46]It is like single white female type situation. Uh Stephen Miller's obsession with James Talarico is so uh homoerotic by nature.

[00:07:56]>> what he eats, how his haircut is, how he looks. Like it is creepy.

[00:08:00]>> It is so creepy the obsession. He cannot shut up about it.

[00:08:05]>> Yeah. I think because James Talarico is freaking out the extreme right-wing right because he is white. He is straight. He is a Christian. He is everything they have said we're not. You know, we're these blue-haired liberal freaks that want to give, you know, sex changes in schools. You know, I mean like come on. You have to sign 500 forms to get your kids have a tile and all as if they're having like a full surgery at school.

[00:08:25]>> Yeah.

[00:08:26]>> Um but, you know, they you know, they've talked to us for years about how crazy we are and how we're letting our kids dress like furries and go to bathroom in like litter boxes.

[00:08:34]>> [laughter] >> And then here comes this guy who comes along, totally normal, pastor, kind, good. They were like, "He's probably gay." And then they show his really hot girlfriend and everyone was like, "Oh god, no. He doesn't eat meat." Like they have nothing on him.

[00:08:46]>> Right.

[00:08:47]>> And they know they're in trouble in Texas. They know they're in trouble across the country.

[00:08:50]>> Right.

[00:08:50]>> Which is why they're spending so much time trying to like ruin voting for everyone, be it from gerrymandering to like ruining the post office to whatever that you know, it's everything because they know they're not popular. So they have to attack things that make no sense. It's the culture war stuff is all they've ever had.

[00:09:05]>> Yeah, and I you can see that Stephen Miller is like really clinging onto that. Like he says stuff like >> Clinging onto the the balustrades with his feet.

[00:09:13]>> [laughter] >> He's like, "I don't know what gender uh James Talarico is." And I'm like, "Bitch, please. Nobody knows what species you are." I mean, it's just utter insanity. But I want to shift gears slightly and talk about another MAGA woman, uh Tulsi Gabbard. And as you know, Tulsi used to be a Democrat.

[00:09:32]>> Was she?

[00:09:33]>> I mean, >> ish. Questionable.

[00:09:35]>> Hillary Clinton whistle blew about her a long, long time ago and basically said that she felt like she was compromised by Russia. And in fact, she was just one degree from that. Pop this up.

[00:09:50]Uh this is an utterly insane story.

[00:09:52]25,000 documents reviewed by the Washington Post indicate that throughout Tulsi's career, her political moves were controlled by her guru, cult leader Chris Butler. This woman was leading the world's largest intelligence apparatus.

[00:10:10]And so, here's some details for you and the listener. Butler himself was has reportedly condemned US intelligence and defense agencies as power-hungry institutions run by madmen. And I would say that probably wasn't true 10 years ago and is certainly true now. Um between 2014 and 2016, the Post found dozens of instant instances in which Gabbard echoed exact talking points aligned with Butler's group. Gabbard's own aunt has alleged that her 2020 presidential bid was the result of Butler's pursuit of political influence.

[00:10:44]Gabbard announced her resignation 2 days after she was informed the story would be published, according to the Daily Beast. And this reminds me of another woman, MAGA woman, that it's been reported was in a cult. And this is the wife of Clarence Thomas, Jenny Thomas.

[00:11:00]Jenny was in a cult long before MAGA and got deprogrammed. And then of course we know that then she was in the MAGA cult.

[00:11:07]She was a a big ringleader of the insurrection. Despite her involvement in it, Clarence refuses to recuse himself from anything, you know, pertaining to Trump. But what do you make of these mentally unstable There seems to be a through-line from Stephen Miller to Katie Miller to Donald Trump. These people are all broken, emotionally stunted, broken people that have ascended to controlling our federal government.

[00:11:37]>> Yeah, I don't think if we look at it like that, I don't think they have ascended. I think they have been propped up because they are emotionally broken, because they are able to be puppeteered, because if I am a vessel in which for you to put your cult ideas, for what you to put your religious ideas, for you to put whatever, and I don't have any critical thinking to say that seems weird or why is it like that or I'm going to question this. Then I am a perfect vessel for the people that are smart like the people at the Heritage Foundation, the people at the Federalist Society. These guys who really are brilliant geniuses. Say what you want about Mitch McConnell, the guy's a brilliant evil genius.

[00:12:14]>> Totally.

[00:12:15]>> The Leonard Leo running the Federalist Society, brilliant evil genius.

[00:12:19]Russ Vought at the at the Heritage Foundation, brilliant evil genius. And they take a look at the people that could be most manipulated, people that are most drawn to cults, people who are most drawn to like, I don't know how to feel and you're like, you're going to feel like this and they're like, okay, great.

[00:12:33]Those are the people you ascend. People like we were talking about J.D. Vance.

[00:12:37]People who are just like willing to completely change their personality to fit the moment.

[00:12:41]>> Mhm.

[00:12:42]>> Those are the best people to control.

[00:12:44]So if you see the people in charge as really being puppeteered because they were the most available vessel, then that makes more sense. It's not that these people who have cult mentalities ascend, it's that they were pulled up by people who saw them as a vessel.

[00:12:58]>> Yeah, I I think that's completely true.

[00:13:00]I think you partnered with Ruth Ben-Ghiat on Yeah, and me too. And she says that they pick people, authoritarians, that are easy to bend, that are easy to manipulate. And you look at Howard Lutnick, it's been revealed that Ben Mathis was reporting that he Trump calls him his [ __ ] And Howard Lutnick responds, this man's a billionaire, and he says, yeah, I'm his $25 billion [ __ ] And everybody has just a knee slapping moment and how hilarious it is.

[00:13:30]And can you imagine just for briefly if Obama or Biden were referring to somebody as their 25 billion dollar [ __ ] I don't know that Jesse Waters would live.

[00:13:42]>> I think he would immediately the heart rate would just go up. I think he would just die on the spot. How do we do it?

[00:13:45]How do [laughter] we do it?

[00:13:46]How do we get someone to refer to a How do we get Obama to say that aloud? Um no, look, I think the thing is is that being a billionaire itself is a vessel.

[00:13:56]People who need that much money I always say like if you think of billionaires as hoarders of money like if I went you know, if you went into my house and I had 10,000 typewriters you'd be like wait, this is this is too many typewriters. Like why do you have all these? This is problematic. No one could ever use this many. And I was like I need them for everything. You don't understand. Like you can barely walk through my house. It's a hoarder mentality. It's when it it's when you just have needs too much of the same thing. I think billionaires in their own right have some sort of mental disorder that says hey man, I cannot get enough money. I cannot do it. And you see these women who are given money people like Mackenzie Bezos and these kind of people. They can't give it away fast enough. They're like let's replant the trees. Let's help women's rights. Let's do this. When Mackenzie Bezos got divorced from Jeff, I think she had something and these are not correct numbers. But something like 26 million dollars or billion dollars 26 billion dollars let's say. She's given away 21 billion dollars. She now has 46 billion dollars because money begets money. Money makes money. So even if you're trying to give it away once you get to a certain level, it's still making you so much money. The fact that Elon needs to be a trillionaire, that's a mental illness truly. And now he's collecting children. Right now he has to be like the father of all children, right? Like it's a it's a mental disorder. So I think that the billionaires themselves if you're talking about Lutnick I mean we know Lutnick was on the island. We know Lutnick like you get to a certain point where like nothing matters because you have so much money you're not living in the same world as us regular humans. You don't need the same health care. You don't have the same problems. Even if you get sick, there's a million people taking care of you. So, they don't live like we do. And then they start thinking outside the box. Like it's hilarious that I'm his [ __ ] right? It's hilarious that we go to islands and like party with 12-year-olds. Isn't this fabulous that we can do this? And you're like, "No, it's not." That's why it's so terrifying that they want to build these you know, crazy cities. They're doing it right now as a beta test in Latin America, right? That's why they're trying to take over all the democratically controlled Latin American countries cuz they're building what are essentially, you know, Elysiums. Yeah, I don't know if you ever saw that movie with Matt Damon, Elysium. It's like all the rich and beautiful people live just above the earth in this perfect utopia.

[00:16:05]And then the rest of us are sort of fighting for scraps and water and such below.

[00:16:09]>> Right.

[00:16:09]>> Um, I think that's what they're trying to build. These worlds in which they exist and the rest of us can die for all we they can't, right? Like that's why they're taking away our health care and they don't care if we get Ebola and, you know, all this kind of stuff. But they're building these cities in Latin America right now as sort of a beta test. Walled cities for the 1% for the ultra rich that will have high-speed trains between them. And to me it's like a little Epstein Islands, right? That's what they're trying to create where there are no laws from that country that apply within that city. That's the world these people live in and they are sincere about it. The election that just happened in Colombia, like that's Trump's choice, right? We went in and took out people that we didn't want there to be the leader as a warning, right? This is terrifying. There's an entire thing going on called Honduras Gate right now that not a single American knows about because they're not it's a Latin American story, but it's about how Trump wants to take over, you know, North and South America.

[00:17:02]>> Yeah.

[00:17:02]>> Right? So, like we need to think far outside the box because the people they're putting in charge are these vessels to create this world that none of us will like and they will thrive in.

[00:17:13]>> So, in that same vein, Jared and Ivanka, the island that they discovered. They were on their friend's boat, some billionaire.

[00:17:20]>> A Rothschild.

[00:17:21]>> Yeah.

[00:17:22]>> Which is important, I think.

[00:17:23]>> I do, too. And then they hiked up barefoot and uh just thought, "Oh my gosh, the potential. We have to you know um Ivanka talks like this." It was "We're going to unlock all of the potential. My husband and I are" So anyway, the Albanians have had it.

[00:17:40]They're madder than hornets.

[00:17:41]>> God bless.

[00:17:42]>> They have been on a 21-plus day protest and I support them. And now uh here's what they're doing. They're pushing crates downhill. Play this clip. Here they are pushing [ __ ] downhill. They are furious because apparently some of their country has been developed before and it's kind of this soulless, lifeless villas.

[00:18:05]And they know that their government is corrupt and doing some double-dealing with Jared Kushner. So what do you make of this? And also, can we discuss that Jared Kushner, who is basically our Secretary of State. He has more power than Marco Rubio. So right now Jared Kushner is babysitting uh J.D.

[00:18:25]Vance abroad.

[00:18:27]Jared Kushner One thing that he and his wife have in common, both of their dads are felons.

[00:18:32]Jared Kushner's dad and Ivanka Trump's dad, they're both felons. He got two or three billion dollars from the Saudis.

[00:18:39]He now you know, has more deals going on. He's the guy who said, you know, "We need to unlock the potential real estate development potential in Gaza."

[00:18:48]You know, these are people's homes, poor people's homes, and he wants to just raise it. What do you make of Do you think there's going to be a backfire?

[00:18:55]This They seem so much more emboldened and brazen about their wealth and the way she so [snorts and clears throat] casually spoke about how they were going to develop this island, a multi-billion-dollar project.

[00:19:06]>> Yeah, I look, I don't think American media, that's why I think shows like yours are so important because I don't think American media is doing us any favors. You know, they had an article recently, I want to say in the Atlantic, but I don't know if that was true, about um about Bezos's second wife, right? And and Lauren was like, "Why are we apologizing for being rich? Maybe we should just be happy that we're rich." It's like a new vibe they're trying to sell us. This vibe that like the billionaires deserve it and they're different than us and they're more special than us and that's how they see it.

[00:19:36]I personally think it's a mental disorder, but that's how they see it.

[00:19:39]that they could come to an island that was literally a military base. Like she's walking barefoot somewhere where there's landmines. Like come on, please.

[00:19:45]>> [laughter] >> The Rothschilds drove you right there and said, "You want it?" And she was like, "I do. I do want it." You know, Ariana Grande style. I saw it, I got it.

[00:19:53]You know, like that's where they're at.

[00:19:54]But I honestly feel like they don't care. They don't care about the poor people that they're going to This was all a plan. Raise Gaza, take it down, build luxury, you know, the the What did they call it? The Riviera of the Middle East, right? That was the plan from the beginning. It was Bibi's plan. Bibi who stayed in Jared Kushner's bedroom when he was at his house. Like it was Bibi's plan, it was Jared's plan. Trump went along with whatever he was told to go along with. He does not care. He wants power and he wants people to tell me he's a special boy. He's not making big plans, right? He's not like, "Oh, you know, I'm going to take over the Middle East." And they say, "We're going to have a great real estate development.

[00:20:29]We're going to name it after you." He's like, "Cool." He's not thinking of that.

[00:20:31]This is Jared. This is all these people.

[00:20:34]Think about who we sent to negotiate with Iran, right? It was Jared and Howard, right? And >> Witkoff.

[00:20:40]>> Witkoff and and JD. Yeah.

[00:20:43]None of them are State Department officials. None of them are Middle East officials. None of them speak the language. And that's who we sent. We're not serious as a country with this leadership. We are serious about making sure that billionaires make tons more money, get you know, take over countries if they want to, and build whatever they want to for their other super rich friends. And it really should have a backlash. What the Albanians are doing is brilliant. I totally support them as well. And people often say, well, why why don't they do this in America? Like, if America's so unhappy, why aren't they doing this? And I'm like, I think people forget how incredibly humongous America is. Like, we can't just show up at our capital.

[00:21:22]People are like, you know, when we all gathered in Paris, we really did big difference. I'm like, everyone in France can get to Paris within 3 hours.

[00:21:28]Everybody. Whereas, Americans who are dependent on their job, which is dependent on their health care, we are all far away from DC. A lot of us are.

[00:21:36]And for us to get there, have a hotel, miss work, possibly lose our job, then lose our health care. You know, if you have children, like I'm saying they're telling you have children, have children, have children, we're way less likely to protest cuz we're like, well, I have to be at home for my children, and I can't lose my job because of my health care, and you know, it's very um we don't have the same ability to fight back the way other countries do that have universal health care.

[00:21:59]Somebody said recently watching the World Cup, they were like, I read that every single country in the World Cup has universal health care except America. And they were like, that can't be right. And then they looked it up and they were like, oh my god, that's right.

[00:22:11]We're the only country that doesn't have it. And if our health care is tied to our jobs, to our marriages, to whatever, it traps us. So, to talk about being a land of freedom when we're literally trapped just by that one thing alone, >> Mhm.

[00:22:25]>> it means we can't go and do these things the Albanians are doing, but we should.

[00:22:28]Because what the Albanians are doing is exactly what they did in the French Revolution. Like, mess up the train tracks. Make sure you can't get to things. You know, somebody said recently, like, we should be doing way more of that like subversive um fighting back where if you I work in the State Department and I'm going to build a concentration camp, and I'm supposed to order 500 doors, you know, for cells, and I put five instead of 500, so when they show up, they're like, this isn't enough doors. You're like, oh, I'm so sorry. Whoops. [laughter] Like, that's the kind of >> Yeah.

[00:22:54]>> you know, that's the kind of thing we need to be doing now to slow the whole thing down until we can get to a place where we can literally stop it, and then hold everyone accountable. Like we cannot pussyfoot around how >> faith do you have in the Democratic Party to do that should we get [clears throat] power back?

[00:23:13]>> The Democratic Party proper right now as it is with the leadership it has?

[00:23:16]>> Yeah.

[00:23:17]>> Limited faith.

[00:23:18]>> Yeah.

[00:23:18]>> But I do think that they need to be put in power so that we can turn all of our anger that we've had towards Maga towards them if they don't do what we ask them.

[00:23:29]>> Agree.

[00:23:30]>> So I like do I think that they're going to come in here and say, "You know what?

[00:23:33]Let's put it behind us and reach across the aisle for the good of the country."

[00:23:37]We have to be like, "None of us want that. We want public trials." And >> doing that incubated this. We did that after uh and I love Obama but when he came in the banks got let off the hook.

[00:23:49]Rumsfeld, Cheney, the illegal Iraq war let off the hook. Um then Biden gets in.

[00:23:57]Merrick Garland lets off Donald Trump, Jenny Thomas. Because here's the deal, when it came to January 6th, they just got the rubes. These are the broken people that got their they got a round trip bus ticket and a hotel. The rich people that paid for this no accountability. They paid for January 6th and I think that the Democratic Party has to come to a reckoning with their part in incubating this fascism.

[00:24:22]>> The Democratic Party absolutely has to come to a realization that you either fight back or you lose and that's what we keep doing, losing. I often make the you know, the analogy that it's a lot like a cage fight. You know, if I think I'm a boxer and I'm in there and I'm giving you your jabs and I'm getting my points and I'm doing my thing and you keep kicking me in the head and the ref doesn't call it, I'm going to lose and I can't be like, "Those aren't the rules.

[00:24:46]I don't understand." You know what I mean? You have to learn to kick back or you have to learn that you're never going to win again. And the Democrats keep thinking, "I'm just going to keep playing by the original rules and it's going to be fine and we'll go back to normal. We're never going back to normal and I need everyone to understand we're never going back to normal. We must create a new normal and that starts on the ashes of what did this to our country. Look at the White House alone.

[00:25:08]Look at what it looks like, right? It's a metaphor for what this country is doing. What we cannot see is happening to our health care, happening to our education, happening to our our foreign policy. The White House itself, Washington itself, what the reflecting pool looks like, what happened with the reflecting pool. I can't get over that reflecting pool because people are like, "Why don't you tell us talk about the reflecting pool?" I'm like, "Because it's a metaphor, right? It's a metaphor for what it's supposed to look like. You hired the wrong person who couldn't do the job. You paid them too much money so you could launder it. You did it poorly, then you tried to fix it poorly. Now it's worse and you're arresting people who are pointing that out."

[00:25:43]Like it's a it's that is that is it's just Trump in a nightmare in a nutshell and I really feel like if you think of that, that's what's happening to the CDC, that's what's happening to the NIH, that's what's happening to everything we cannot see. Just picture the reflecting pool.

[00:25:57]>> I want to leave you with one final video. There was a focus group of female Trump supporters and I have some unfortunate news about what they say.

[00:26:05]>> Who okay, all right, listen, put your hand up if you would have sex with Donald Trump.

[00:26:13]>> If I was married to Donald Trump, yes and I'd love to be.

[00:26:18]So we've diagnosed final thoughts here. We diagnosed, you know, the problem with these broken people that have been able to fail forward. We've diagnosed the Democrats that have not met the moment and fought for the people and have instead fought for corporations. But I also think we have a cultural problem in America. You have a lot of people like these ladies, capitalists with no capital who race to the polls to vote for Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and apparently now rather alarmingly want to have sex with Donald Trump, which is just fascinating to me that one could wish we talk about some kinky [ __ ] >> Yeah, I mean >> [laughter] >> But the the the larger cultural rot that mega has ushered in haunts me a lot. The electorate, the sickness within the electorate.

[00:27:08]>> Yeah, I agree with you because I think that there are the majority of Americans do not want this. I think the majority of the Americans did not actually vote for this. I think the majority of the Americans want to have civility and kindness and looking out for their neighbor and um and this kind of behavior this sort of like you keep thinking it can't get lower and it gets lower bottom feeder type behavior. I think that's what we sort of saw at the UFC. You can love UFC if you want to, but it shouldn't have been on the White House lawn. There were people having you know bought brawls on the White House lawn.

[00:27:39]It's it's the degradation of our entire society. I think that's what makes people so upset.

[00:27:44]And I I I don't know how to fix that aside from saying we need to put different people in power. We need to hold those people in power accountable to do real change and we need to show these people that their lives can be better under a different leadership.

[00:27:58]You've been told your whole life the Democrats are evil monsters. We need to put them in power and show that you get a higher minimum wage, that you get health care, that you have paid universal, you know, child care, that we you get parental leave like every other country.

[00:28:11]We can't just say we're going to fix it for them. We have to put people in power and then actually deliver. And that's why I'm saying we need to put Democrats in power and then hold them accountable to do what will actually change the mindset of the people in this nation because right now, I mean you're down an incredible rabbit hole if you want to have sex with Donnie Diaper, right? Like >> [laughter] >> I mean there's just no way half of us don't want to have sex with our own wonderful spouses, right? Like you're not going to this is like completely bananas. So yeah, no, I think people have lost their minds, but I think it's a smaller group than we think.

[00:28:37]>> Yeah.

[00:28:38]>> They're just so much more vocal. Like if you're choosing to go on Jubilee and talk about how you're a woman and you don't think you should have women's rights, that's a different kind of person, right?

[00:28:45]We need to highlight the people that don't feel like that and we need to highlight the people that actually want to make change. And that's why like living in the city right now watching what Mondaire Jones is doing. It's like here's a Democrat who comes in and he's like, "I'm going to do these things."

[00:28:57]and then he delivers. And he says, "I'm going to make things better." and then he delivers. He says, "I'm going to balance this budget." and then he delivers. If you can show people that what you said is true is true, people will start to believe you. And I think that's an important part of politics.

[00:29:11]You can't just be like, "Well, we can't do anything. This is how it works." No, it's not how it works.

[00:29:16]If you care about the people and not your own power.

[00:29:18]>> Yeah, and the great thing about Mondaire Jones is he's just incorruptible and we need to have politicians that are incorruptible.

[00:29:24]>> can you imagine if we had a president come in and be like, "Listen, the Upstream files are all real.

[00:29:30]So many people in our government were involved. We knew everything about it.

[00:29:33]It's disgusting and sickening and we're going to hold everyone accountable. But America is the bad guy here and we really need to understand that and we need to move forward." People would be like, "Well, that is horrendous.

[00:29:43]But let's do it."

[00:29:44]>> Yeah, right?

[00:29:45]>> This constant hiding of it. This constant like, "Well, it'll be bad for the country and people will think badly of us." It's like, yeah, but people already think badly of us.

[00:29:52]>> Oh, so >> So why not be incorruptible? Why not come in and do the right thing? And I think that's in so many ways why I'm so ready for the matriarchy, right? Because it's not about women in charge, it's about who you center in society, right?

[00:30:03]If you center the children, if you center the people who are having, you know, the hardest time, everyone else will do fine. If our kids have clean water and great education and food every day and a roof over their heads, so do the rest of us.

[00:30:15]>> Right?

[00:30:15]>> If you take care of the most vulnerable, that's the way it should be. And I think it's going to be women that come in and go, "You're being held accountable and you're being held accountable." Because I can promise you, if you put a matriarchal idea, not necessarily women, but a matriarchal idea in charge, you're not going to have rape island, right?

[00:30:31]We're not going to like, it's just not going to happen, right? But people have lost their minds and we need to pull them back from the brink by showing them what we can do, not telling them what we can do.

[00:30:41]>> Yeah, I think integrity can trickle down.

[00:30:43]>> I do.

[00:30:43]>> Corruption can trickle down trickle down and you can I live I've lived in New York now for 8 months and there is an appreciation for the city right now and for what Zorn is doing and it's very clear when you see Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL and these other fascist bad actors try to beat him down what their intentions are. And his he is governing and showing everybody can do it and he's just a good [ __ ] person. You know, I remember when Obama was president he he inspired other people to be better people and I think that integrity can trickle down. Listener, go follow Lee on Politics Girl but she's also going to be Maga slang on CNN this week.

[00:31:24]What nights are you going to be on?

[00:31:25]>> I'm on Tuesday night, I'm on Friday night and I'm on Saturday morning.

[00:31:28]>> My my listeners love it. Give them hell.
