Either biology is going to catch up with Trump or he's going to term limit out and we're not going to have to worry about him anymore. And that is a really surface level thought because we really need to be focused on not so much dementia deck, but what he's incubating and what he's incubating and what he's giving a permission structure to is darker and more evil than what we're experiencing right now. And it all starts with the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and Christian Nationalists. These guys have been at it for decades, decades.
0:41They are evil, corrupt, funded, and wildly ambitious, wildly. So they did the whole project 2025. Trump, of course, has this Christian nationalist, Russell Vogt, who is implementing it record speed, who also is a big philanderer, and he's not even remotely attractive, but that's kind of come out from Susie Wiles, I believe. I can't remember who it was, but have you heard that? He's some philanderer. Anyway, of course he is. So Pete Hegseth is the Fox News narcissist that ends up running the Department of Defense, changes it to Department of War because he's a dipshit. And he has this pastor named Doug Wilson.
1:24Doug Wilson believes that women shouldn't vote and he has no problem with pedophiles. All right, pop this up. are themselves on the verge of becoming friends of pedophiles. And this is the thing. They're going to be, five years from now, friends of pedophiles as pedophiles. I'm a friend of pedophiles as a preacher of the gospel that will bring them out of that grotesque sin. So I'm a friend of pedophiles because Christ was a friend to sinners. Right. But the thing I'd return to the thing. I'm a friend of pedophiles because I'm a triple Trumper. That's basically all it is. Everything he's saying is such bullshit.
2:10It is the complete mental gymnastics of this type of religion where he is now offering a permission structure for triple Trumpers that are deeply evangelical white nationalists to excuse Trump and company because everybody that's in his cabinet is in the Epstein files to excuse their pedophilia. That's what he's offering now. Everything about that made me so mad, but he says, you know, because I preach the gospel of Christ. Okay, well then why don't you take that with immigrants? Why don't you have that same attitude? He does it. He picks and chooses and he has had complaint after complaint in his church about how he has handled sexual harassment and people accused one even convicted and jailed of sex crimes against children this man sits there he is such a faith family guy and he sits there and he covers up and he does not give a shit about children well the well when you're talking about in his church he vouched for him and got him out of jail and he had uh sexually abused children and once he got out of jail, he went and sexually abused his own infant child.
3:30And this guy is his friend. This guy is fine with it. All right, moving along. This is the same guy who doesn't think women should vote. And you have to take all of this in totality. You have to think about how when you had Harrison Bucker do those weird kind of like gay engagement photos with Senator Josh Hawley when they did those weird end zones, Seth, you can put that in post, that Harrison Butker said that women should be focused on being homemakers. So this drum is really, really beating. You have Nick Fuentes who is on video saying that women are either whores, mothers, and I can't remember what the other things.
4:14Nuns. Women are whores, mothers are nuns. So a lot of this is women have made a lot of progress and the women that Trump uses in this regime are gender washing. And they are standing on the shoulders of all of these women that have done all of this work and all of these civil rights progressive movements for us to be podcasting. And all of these white women that just kind of brush this aside because they want a new purse or their husband tells them to go vote for Trump. These people have plans for your daughter, and it doesn't include going to a university and being in a sorority and doing all the fun stuff you got to do.
4:58It's going to be abuse, rape and all sorts of shit. Play the clip. Grant the right to vote. the nation had already accepted the lie that a nation is nothing more than a collection of individuals. And so the matter was framed this way. Men as individuals can vote. So why cannot individual women do the same? We were so muddled. We thought we were giving the franchise to women when we were in fact taking it away from families. Okay. Here's the thing. This guy thinks that a woman should submit to her husband and there should be one vote for the family. And this triggers me ultra hard because when you grow up and you're told you need to be a good wife, you need to be a good mother, your husband will take care of the finances and all of those things.
5:45And then you do it. And then you end up married to a total fucking deadbeat. I was that person. Like world crashed, hadn't worked in years, has to go back to work, no financial support, house repossessed because I did everything I was supposed to do according to that man right there. And I got stuck holding the bag for all of it. And that is why it is so personal to me, this Hegseth having this motherfucker at the Pentagon, stripping medals from women because black people and gay people and gay people. This is a man that does not value women. No. And I am a victim of that ideology. And it is dangerous in my opinion and in my personal experience.
6:33It completely is. And this is not just a man that doesn't value women. This is an administration and a movement that doesn't value women. Perhaps the world you were brought up in didn't value you as a woman. Oppose what you're doing here with me right now. Oppose your agency. Oppose your autonomy. It still lives on. My sex life. Yeah. I mean, this type of control over women is something that is so prevalent in Bible Belt states, and it's so incredibly dangerous. And the fact that they are now speaking in tongues at the White House parking lot, and then Pete Hegseth, who all of these guys are total deadbeats, all of them.
7:20Pete Hegseth has all these baby mamas, all these affairs, 95 ,000 kids. Donald Trump, all the baby mamas, all these kids, wants to screw his daughter. I mean, all of these people are just really, really sick. And then moving along here, here's an example of why this type of Christianity is dangerous for women. Report obtained by ABC News. A woman accused Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017. No charges were filed. His attorney says he settled with the woman in order to keep his job. Hegseth calls the encounter consensual. But you acknowledge that you cheated on your wife and that you cheated on the woman by whom you had just fathered a child.
8:00You have admitted that. I will allow your words to speak for them. You're not retracting that today. That's good. There are also. So here's the problem with this type of culture. And they don't teach children about bodily autonomy or agency. It is removed from them. It is removed from these children and they don't know what consent is. They just know that sex before you are married is bad. So there's no differentiation between rape, sexual assault, consensual sex because they're not taught it. And so then you have all of these boys that are horny as fuck, obviously, because they're teenage boys.
8:45And they end up with all of this cell phone access. and you end up with all of these horrific sexual deviant culture that is permeating through MAGA right now. And they hate women because women are the object of their desire. And they're told, if you lust after women, that's sin, you will burn in hell. If you have sex with women before marriage, that's sin, you will burn in hell. And that's just the men. When you get to the women, It's you're dirty. You can't provoke a man. And I know this is crazy to a lot of you that live on the coast or live in Europe. This shit is so real. There's all these little Christian schools, private Christian schools that teach creationism.
9:32These all these schools are popping up all over, all over the country. And they have waiting lists for people to get in it for their kids to be taught an abstinence only, no gay marriage. And those are like the two most important things they teach at these schools. You can't get married and you can't premarital sex. Not be a good person, not care for the needy, not care for the sick. None of that. It is cruelty and we control your sex life. Well, it's about control, period. My experience was indoctrinated to believe that you don't have control, so you have to submit it to God and you're bad and you have to be good.
10:13And if you have sex before marriage, you're bad. And that everybody's entitled to know your business. And we're going to be able to stand in judgment of you if you have sex. So you, abstinence only doesn't work. It simply doesn't work. Tell me you shouldn't do something as a teenager. What's the first thing you do? You run and do it. I thought I was going to be like taken to hell the very first time I had sex because I wasn't married. That's how real it was to me. I thought, here it goes. This is the end. So this, and you see all of these religious institutions that, you know, preach this purity culture, women who are married are not aware they can say no to their husbands.
10:55They can say, I don't want to have sex tonight or no, I don't want to participate in that. They have no control because the control of their bodies and their lives is these men. And when these men turn out to be completely, complete deadbeats, like Pete Hegg said, for example, it is, he's left two women in the dust. What happened to the first two wives? I'm sure he fought tooth and nail that he didn't have to pay child support or reduced amount because it's his money. I'm just telling you, I was a divorce attorney and I fucking lived it. Okay. And then the Heritage Foundation, which, you know, of course, we all know is Project 2025.
11:37They've now released in December Project 2026, and it declares an open war on women's rights. Project 2026 is not destiny. It is a warning and one we must answer with full force of a movement that has never accepted a future written for us by someone else. When the Heritage Foundation released its new policy blueprint for 2026 this week, an extension of the now infamous Project 2025, it did so with the calm confidence of an institution convinced no one will stop it. The document is shorter than last year's 900 pages, Mandate for Leadership, but no less dangerous. It is, in fact, more candid. This is what I'm talking about, you guys, with this incubation.
12:22Project 2026 lays out a government redesigned to control women's bodies, erase LGBTQ plus lives, dismantle civil rights protections and roll back decades of hard won progress. Wrapped in the language of family, sovereignty and restoring America, it is a direct attempt to impose a narrow, rigid ideology on an entire nation. And make no mistake, this is a plan for forced motherhood, government-policed gender, and the end of women's equality as we know it. So this is what they're incubating. Donald Trump doesn't care about this, but all of the Christian nationalists surrounding him, he is their useful idiot.
13:10He's a Trojan horse that has marched them right in to the center of the Death Star. And these people have major plans. And this is what fucking pisses me off about this so goddamn much. I cannot tell you how many white women I know that have the audacity to go to our hairdresser, the one that we share in Oklahoma City, a gay man, and start talking about Trump to him and how right Trump is. But they hug him and kiss him when they leave and say, oh, I love you. And the people who will go vote for people that will hurt people like that are fucking dead to me. Like I do not fuck with hypocrites like that.
14:00I don't. Like I cannot stomach these women that want to have a relationship with gay men or lesbians or queer people or go attend drag shows. And then they know that this shit exists. They know, but it doesn't affect them. So they go and they just live a duplicitous, hypocritical life and send their kids to these fucking hate academies. It is the grossest shit on the planet. It's all over the place in middle America. I mean, all over the place. And so for all of you out there that go, what the fuck's going on with white women? This is, this is what's going on with white women. They're too fucking stupid to realize this is what's coming for them because they have ridden the coattails of smart, brave, curious, critical thinking women that had conviction in principle and stood on it from the jump, from the inception.
14:59And they ride those coattails all the way to their own annihilation and their daughter's annihilation and all of their gay friends. And guess what, bitches, when your hair looks like shit, you deserve it. They do. I can't stand them. And you know, I can't. No, you can't. And you're right. You're, I mean, you're, you're absolutely right. And I would just say from my experience in this world, it is exactly what you said. It doesn't affect me. I'm entitled to better. So I don't have to worry about that. As long as I'm surrounded by the privilege, it's evil being white and many, I don't have to care.
15:35It's really evil. It's a really narcissistic trait. It's really disgusting to me. All right. That's all we have like subscribe comment. We'll be back later with some more uplifting news for women, gay and black people.
