In short

The episode is a political rant alleging Republicans are preparing to move on from Donald Trump while also enabling his “bunker/ballroom” vision. The hosts claim the White House won’t disclose Trump’s medications, framing it as a cover-up around a hair-loss drug (Propecia) and possible dementia/heart-failure drugs. They discuss a budget fight: Senate GOP reportedly added about $1 billion for Trump’s “ballroom” (ballpark rising from $200M), and argue it should not be taxpayer-funded or fast-tracked by 2028. They also revisit January 6, calling it an incited insurrection and criticizing rebranding as “love.” Notable examples include claims about Ivanka Trump watching from a tent and Trump’s “pure love” rhetoric.

1:40All right. The White House says they're not obligated to disclose Trump's medications. And all of this is surrounding this big nondisclosure about some gender affirming pill he takes so he won't lose his hair. That's where we are in gender affirming care for Republicans, for our dementia ridden senior citizen, sociopathic president. Let's pop this up. For years, Trump took a hair loss drug, Propecia. Now it's no longer on his medical reports. I asked the White House if Trump still uses it and officials said they're not obligated to disclose all his medications. I mean, here's the thing. I think they're weekend at burning this guy.

2:26I think that he goes to Walter Reed all the time because he has many strokes. This is my opinion. And then I think while he's there, he's like sundown or hour and he's like, let's do another cognitive exam, you know, and he just is trying so bad to pass one and then he will not shut up about them. So we have his obsession with cognitive exams, his obsession with men, he's always talking about how hot he thinks men are, his obsession with his ballroom, and his obsession with the 2020 election. He is a four-trick pony at best. He's going to be on his deathbed talking about the election being stolen, mail-in ballots.

3:06I mean, just stupid shit that nobody cares about. But here's my thing. Obviously, the Propecia is not working. I mean, that's objectively true. But I think they're hiding all of the dementia drugs and congestive heart failure drugs. I think they got off easy being the most transparent administration in history. Just ask Caroline Lovett how transparent they are. But I think that this is a red herring for all the other shit he's taking, because everybody knows he's the vainest motherfucker on the planet. And I would just argue that they are transparent about the crimes they commit. They are. I've never seen such transparency about white collar crimes, about the shakedowns that go on, about the parasitic nature of all of the billionaires towards the American taxpayer.

3:58That is on full display. They are not transparent about this man's obvious and objective one foot in the grave, in my opinion. The Senate is flirting with growing a pair. And so pop this up. Senate GOP drops$1 billion for White House ballroom from budget package. This to me is one of the more important things that people need to hold the line on because for these Republican senators, they all are going to have careers after this guy dies or they're going to want to. This guy wants to get in that bunker. And I guarantee you, this is going to sound crazy, but I swear, I think this is what he's going to do.

4:43I think he has a hospital down there and he has also referred to research labs. And there's been something, he regrammed something on True Social about bringing people back to life once they're dead. So put this all together. He has this narcissistic wound from the 2020 election. The ballroom is a place where he will never have to leave his safe space equipped with a hospital and a research facility. And I guarantee you, he's like cryo cryo cryo was it is it kylie the freezing stuff cryo whatever y 'all know what i'm talking about he's going to want to be frozen down there and i know this sounds nuts but we're dealing with a nutty person here and he wants them to bring him back to life when the science catches up with that that's the whole thing so the republicans i've got to hold the line on this because once he gets down there he's going to find enough nuts with guns and he's talking about having some sort of iron dome that would rival Israel's and all this crazy shit.

5:42I'm telling you, I think this is what his plan is. I don't think you sound crazy at all. I think you sound absolutely rational with this. And I keep thinking like he's going to go in that bunker. They're never going to get him out. Then I think, how's he going to get his Diet Coke? How's he going to get his McDonald's? But then I think surely somebody has figured out all of those things. But this ballroom situation, like he's never going to leave. But my question is, you know, it was supposed to be funded by his private donors. It was 200 million. Now we're up to a billion. We want the taxpayers to pay for it.

6:13At the rate we're going with this, with this bunker, can it even be built by 2028? I mean, I don't know, maybe it can, but I would think it would be really hard to get him fast-tracked into that thing if we haven't even gotten underneath the soil yet. Yeah. And that's why I think it's really good that the Republicans are flirting with growing a pair. And then I want everybody to remember January 6th. It was violent. It was vile. It was an insurrection. It was incited by Donald Trump. His little twat daughter, Ivanka, was in a tent. They were watching it all go down. They were all in. The fix was in on this thing.

6:55They wanted to hang Mike Pence. And then his daughter, Ivanka, has the audacity to get on social media and talk about stoicism and authenticity. And my husband and I were on our friend's boat and we just discovered this gorgeous island and it's a large scale project. We're so authentic and we're all about stoicism. That bitch was in the tent watching on TV when these violent insurrectionists went and beat up cops and wanted to hang Mike Like, Pence, these people are rotten, evil motherfuckers to their core. And then so many Americans saw, I remember all of these double Trumpers at the time going, I'm just frustrated with both sides.

7:40They can't just say the Republican Party betrayed me. They always have to both sides it, right? Well, then now they are completely, you know, rebranding all of January 6th. And this one takes the cake. Play the clip. Suicides. They committed suicide. People that went there with love. They went there with love. You know, when I made that speech early in the day, tremendous crowd. I hate to say because they'll say, oh, I was wrong on the number. But I believe it's the largest crowd I've ever spoken to by twice. The biggest crowd, I think, bigger than the inaugurations, bigger than anything. And there was so much love and friendship.

8:22It was the most amazing thing. People. That's what I thought. I thought it was like watching an episode of the Care Bears when I saw it live on CNN. I thought, God, look at these Teletubbies out there with peace, love and friendship. This is like a Sesame Street episode. Are you kidding me? And this goes to show you that what pathological liars Republicans are. They're all about support the blue when the cops are suffocating black people. When George Floyd died, they could not shut the fuck up about how much they supported the police. The minute white racists beat the shit out of cops that are trying to defend our country, that are trying to defend our politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, then it's like, oh, oh, well, this was a misunderstanding.

9:09This was a Care Bears, Lucky Charms, Rainbow Fest. It's just these people believe in nothing. They don't give a shit about the cops unless the cops are harassing black people. They don't give a shit about the economy unless billionaires are sucking off of it and getting these tax breaks. For some reason, these alpha male Republican men feel like big guys helping billionaires. It's this really weird thing. They don't give a shit about families. They don't give a shit about life. They don't give a shit if people die. and they don't give a shit about their religion. They use it in the most insidious, grotesque way to be parasitic off of working class people.

9:53I completely agree with all that. And here's my thing. I think Donald Trump keeps going back to, it was pure love because they were supporting him. They loved him despite the fact what they were doing to everybody else. And remember in that tent he it was reported and i think it was on on a recording that he was like get rid of the maggotrometers i don't care they're not here to shoot me so he knew people had guns he knew they had weapons but he didn't give a fuck because he didn't think they were going against him so all this love it was only directed to him and he fucking knew it and he paid for it to happen because he's a little titty baby and that's why he wants the bunker so he never has to leave You're exactly right.

10:38And also the wife of Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, knows exactly what all of that was, because the people who funded this were not the rubes that you see that have been arrested, then pardoned and rearrested again, which is all these January 6th degenerates, what just happened to them. The people who funded this are these crazy rich Christian nationalists who are equally as crazy and ambitious. And those two things together are a very, very dangerous outcome for the American public. And a lot of these people are able to continue doing this because they have these groups that they formed, one of which is Turning Point.

11:16Turning Point has been going through some things since the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk. Nobody in Turning Point will address the core issue of why Charlie Kirk is dead, which is gun violence. Nobody wants to address that. Instead, they're blaming DEI and the radical left when the alleged shooter was a white boy from the whitest cracker ass Mormon neighborhood imaginable raised by MAGA parents. By their logic, this kid, this MAGA kid should be Bible thumping and Trump thumping all the time. So I don't know what's going on with kids that are raised in MAGA, but it seems to me like they're always getting arrested for, you know, sexual assault and all sorts of shit.

11:58But the women of MAGA, the women of Turning Point are coming out to have a curated for H-E-R for her speaking event. Pop this up. Here's the speaker lineup. Of course, we have Erica Kirk. We've got Kaylee McEnany. We have Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And it goes on. Savannah Chrisley. Allie Stuckey. She's the one who wrote the book about toxic empathy. But meanwhile, she Bible thumps the whole time. This is just a group of women right here that are carrying the water for the patriarchy. And I just want to say that in an effort to make sure I let my audience know that we here believe in equality, I would guarantee that 15 to 20 percent of these women on this confirmed speaker list engage in some secret scissoring.

12:52We all know the Moms of Liberty gal Bridget down in Florida. She was doing some unauthorized scissoring while promoting all this anti-LGBTQ plus stuff. I want to know what's going on with Sarah Huckabee Sanders is what I want to know. Sometimes I get a little bit of a gay darping from her. But one of the speakers, her name is Savannah Faith Stone, is a 20-year-old trad wife influencer who opposes women's right to vote. Perfect. That's perfect. Keep doing that. And then the conference motto is curated by her. And the her stands for holistic, empowered, and rooted. Okay, here's the thing. Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, they were racist, misogynistic, homophobic, all this stuff.

13:43So now you have Erica Kirk running it. She's female. And everybody's like, I don't know why Turning Point's going to shit. Well, because a woman is running it, allegedly. I mean, that's what the, in my opinion, these men want their wives at home having babies, cooking their meals. And we've got a trad wife influencer. And in my mind, you cannot earn your living being an influencer doing videos all the time and then say you're not working. Like that is a job. Erica Kirk has a job. Kaylee Ann McEnany, She has a job. Riley Gaines is trying to have a job, you know, just slamming people because Swimmy didn't work out for.

14:21But it's just interesting that all these women are going to get up there and say, women need to have more babies. They need to stay in the home. They shouldn't vote. While they're doing everything they tell people they don't want women to do. It's just it's a crazy dichotomy. All right. I don't know about you guys. I'm pretty consistent with exercising. but about two or three days a week, I'm like, I do not want to do this. And that is why I started using the LifePro waiver vibration plate. I know what you're thinking. There's no way standing on something for 10 minutes actually counts as exercise.

14:59And that's exactly what I thought too. And boy, was I wrong. 10 minutes on the LifePro waiver burns approximately 50 to 100 calories depending on your body weight and what exercises you're doing. If you're feeling lazy, you can stand on it. You can sit on it. You can use it at your desk. You can actually do squats with it, calf raises and planks as you get more advanced. I am so obsessed with this product. And for a limited time, our listeners can get$20 off the waiver vibration plate plus free shipping with code IHIP at lifeprofitness.com.

National average 12-month savings of$197 by new customers surveyed who save with Progressive between October 2024 and September 2025. Potential savings will vary. Well, I would say that I would argue that men in MAGA do the same stuff. Men in MAGA live and exhibit the same level of hypocrisy that these women do.

17:05Typically, I think businesses and companies run by women run a lot more smoothly. I think the reason why Turning Point is failing is not because a woman is running it, is because they have bad ideas. And Charlie Kirk was the cult leader of this and he died talking about racist gun violence and was shot. And then his benefactor was this old man, old billionaire that, you know, they spoke, don't get vaxxed, you know, only libtards get vaxxed. Well, the guy didn't get vaxxed and guess what? He died of COVID. I would argue that it's not the female component of this as to why it's failing. It is that these ideas are bad.

17:43The young people, the vote that support Trump, that support MAGIT, we're down to 12 % of the 18 to 28 year olds, 12%. This is a dying movement because young people are more integrated into multiculturalism. Younger people have gay friends because of the work of hard civil rights movements like Harvey Milk and all of the gay activists who have paved the way for people to come out of the closet earlier and not get judged and not get bullied. And so then you have more multiculturalism now than you did 30 or 40 years ago. A lot of people have black and brown friends or mixed race friends. And so this whole white nationalist, white supremacy stuff, it's aging out.

18:33So these women are targeting young people and young people aren't really interested in being bigots. They, they like multiculturalism. They have no problem liking black culture. Now, yes, there are these Nazi chats that JD Vance supports that the heritage foundation supports that I'm sure all of these women support. I bet every single one of these bimbos supports all those Nazi chats. And I bet they raise these women here. I bet they raise all these Nazis, you know, I bet she wants those white mailmen. She wants, you know, don't, hey, white male men, don't let anybody tell you anything's wrong with you.

19:08So they're raising a bunch of titty babies that inevitably will act like Pete Hegseth or Little Grinder, you know. But these women are going to fail just like Pam Bondi failed because they are in a patriarchal organization. They are complete hypocrites. and um there's i know from living in the bible belt there's a lot of women that are in on all this shit yeah just a lot of women that think erica kirk is cool and all that shit but this thing has a shelf life when they did that wwe funeral for charlie i just know from living in the bible belt the mega churchers are the bottom of the barrel christians i just know all of my friends in Oklahoma that were Methodist or Episcopalian or Catholic.

20:00The mega churchers, the crossings, Christians, the life churchers, all the, that they were always like, God, they're trashy. And all of the shows they put on, I just know that the, even the Catholics love to browbeat the mega churchers. They're like, and that's what these ladies are. They're mega churchers. It's bullshit. It's a grift. If you go to a church as a bookstore and a coffee shop and your pastor has a stylus and a big screen and a rock band you're getting taken it's a total racket yeah well see you know what's so funny is i agree with you 100 i and i being inside the mega church i completely got that but what's interesting to me is i saw charlie kirk's funeral because i was just so used to that yeah i thought it was gross and over the top but that's the kind of that's going on all the time and it is offensive when you're out of it but i bet you the majority of the megachurchers that watched it just thought didn't they send off charlie with just such a great well the megachurchers thought that but the the general public no agree non-religious muslim to christian like people that aren't megachurchers it confirmed for them that the righteous gemstones is spot on.

21:15It confirmed all of the judgment that they have towards the megachurchers. It confirmed it. Oh, these are the trashy Christians. These are the Christian narcissists that think that God does personal favors for them all of the time because they're best friends. These pastors, you never hear them talking about Elon Musk killing off hundreds of thousands of poor kids. You never hear them speaking like the Pope. It's all, God loves you. And he's going to do a personal favor for you if you tithe. And then the wealth will trickle down. It's basically Republican politics and all these bimbos, every single one of them, they all have their Christian signaling crosses.

21:59And it's just a total disgrace. But I agree with you. They want to have full-time jobs and then lecture working women um when they work i mean eric kirk i don't even know when she's with her damn kids especially when she's out at the bar grab playing grab ass oh yeah we did have that reporting that she was at the uh polo bar in uh beverly hills playing grab ass with somebody which i would have thought was not true until she came out and outwardly tried it so vociferously kind of like melania exactly like melania exactly but at least melania doesn't cosplay being a Bible thumper.
