Mike Johnson and His Wife Give Bizarre Interview; The Sexism Is On Full Display

0:04There's so much crazy stuff that happens. We forget and overlook some little nuggets that we should definitely spend some time dissecting. This happened a couple of weeks ago. We had little Moses Mike grinder Johnson and his wife on Katie Miller's hit podcast. I don't know what it's called. I don't know if it's fireside chats with white nationalists or what she's branded it or what she calls it, but she's getting just banger, banger, banger after guests. And you know, nobody's more fascinating and interesting and has more Riz than little Moses Mike grinder Johnson, the most worthless, weak American this country has ever seen.

0:43So here's a little clip from this podcast that was, and I apologize, viewer and listener, this went under our radar, but we are here to rectify right now. So I want to share this clip that was brought to my attention with you all in pumps and then get pumps take on this because I have a feeling she's going to have some things to say, please play the clip. Women are different in this way is that men have can compartmentalize things brains are like waffles yes they have little compartments and they can think on one little compartment at a time and close it and men actually have a compartment that has nothing in it so when you ask him what are you thinking about and he says nothing he means it means it he really is thinking about not thinking about the Roman Empire we cannot do that we are always thinking in fact our brains are like spaghetti what in the fuck is she talking about this goes under this enrages me like women are so much more emotional than men really are you fucking kidding me donald trump is the most emotional toddler i have ever seen in my life kamala harris cool as a cucumber at all times this woman is why women get a bad rap because she is so misogynistic in her behavior and she affords every single person watching that to be like oh well i submit to my husband because his brain's like a waffle and mine's like spaghetti shut the fuck up you stupid see you next tuesday i mean i'm enraged by that i figured you might be but i think this is something that really goes under reported and doesn't get spoken about a lot and it is this this is a part of the culture and where women are in these quote unquote biblical marriages and they constantly defer their competence, their intelligence to their husband.

2:39And this on a national stage, I mean, I don't know how big Katie Miller's white nationalist podcast is, but we're talking about it. Right. What's interesting about this is perhaps, do you remember those friends that you had and the woman needed to have like a bikini wax done? Yes. And she said that her, she'd have to ask her husband and then that her husband would call and make the appointment on her behalf. And these are uber religious people that would openly say, we submit, my wife submits. And it's a lot more common than I think a lot of people realize in a lot of Bible Belt states or maybe suburban, even purple states, this type of antiquated patriarchal thinking is still very much alive.

3:28And there seems to be a systemic attack right now on women's individuality, agency, and autonomy coming from all directions on the right. And for those two to sit there and tag team it is wild to me. Also that she's acting like she's with some major alpha male. She's sitting there as his beard with that really affected voice like this. It's so stunning to me. The whole thing is so stunning to me that people are still this antiquated, but they are. And pumps can elaborate more on this. I think what people don't realize, whether or not someone says, I submit to my husband, okay I have friends that I'll say why aren't you getting Botox well so-and-so doesn't like it I'm like who gives a shit if so-and-so likes it like use your own money I had a friend the other day she's like yeah I had my face done my husband was you know thought it was a waste of money but it's my fucking money I was like good for you good for you but here's the thing I was raised in a situation where my mother worked full-time but yet the internalized misogyny she wanted me to be a school teacher because that was a helper job.

4:44And religion, particularly evangelical religion, is based on misogyny and patriarchal values. Start at Genesis, Eve was created out of a rib of Adam. Its patriarchy is so soaked in, you don't even know it's happening because it's just you're indoctrinated with it. But it's, you know, the fact that we are now have a national stage, we have third in line to the presidency, sitting around where his wife runs a conversion gay camp. And he is sitting around telling us what are the, you know, what brains are like, I'm like, Mike Johnson hasn't had a brain since he put it in Donald Trump's underwear.

5:26Because it's been missing this entire term. Like, this just enrages me. And here's my thing, it's religion that was co-opted by the Republican party. Well, and these women are foot soldiers. She was trotted out intentionally to weaponize her gender, to demean other women. And it's so incredibly dangerous to women at large. You know, it's clear in that relationship that that girl place. I'm a little submissive wife. My brain's like spaghetti and Moses Mike is, he's a waffle. We all know who has the balls in that relationship. We all know that Donald Trump has the balls in that relationship full time, but it's incredibly dangerous, this type of weaponization of gender against women and the increase of it that I've seen lately with Eric Kirk running around never speaks about, it's the weirdest shit I've ever seen that you see your husband get violently murdered and you never talk ever about what could prevent his death, right?

6:38You never talk about gun violence ever. It's wild. It's such disrespect to the life that he lived. But then he himself, Charlie Kirk said, if some people have to die, if some children have to die in order for me to have gun rights, then that's a price I'm willing to pay. So I guess they're all just fine with it. But I mean, I would, that shows you how depraved they are pumps that after like such a violent murder, like seeing him was, it really affected me. It was such a violent murder that nobody wants to even talk about ways to prevent it. This ad is brought to you by Veve Healthcare, the makers of Aparitude, Cabotegravir.

7:18You never skip your SPF and you carry hand sanitizer like an accessory. But what are you doing for HIV prevention? One way to help protect yourself from HIV is APRITUDE, a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of getting HIV in adults and adolescents weighing at least 77 pounds. You must be HIV negative to receive APRITUDE and get tested before each injection. If you think you were exposed to HIV or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. More HIV testing may be needed. Apritude does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. Practice safer sex to reduce your risk.

7:58Get Apritude as scheduled. Missing doses increases your HIV risk. Don't take Apritude if allergic to it or taking certain medicines that may interact. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, liver problems, and mental health. Serious side effects include allergic reactions or rash, liver problems, and depression. If these occur, get medical help right away. The most common side effect is injection site reaction. Bring your A-game and talk to your doctor. Learn more at appritude.com or call 1-888-240-0340. And then of course, this is their leader. And I thought this quote was just so spot on.

8:43Pop this up. I want to share it with pumps. One thing that genuinely does mystify me with no snark. Trump is one of the least masculine, least adult people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women, terrified of more powerful men. I'm at a loss about why his base sees him as manly or strong. And to be clear by masculine, I mean, the things his own followers would associate positively with manliness, stoicism, courage, manners, self-restraint, even chivalry. He is in every way, a little boy with impulse issues. And yet they think of him as tough. I don't get that. Who wrote that was Tom Nichols.

9:31Well, here's the thing. I have done a lot of thinking about this. And one thing that caught my eye was Trump is so into WWE wrestling, which everybody knows is scripted, but everybody's in on it. And so I watched documentaries about it. I've read papers on it as crazy and cringy as that sounds. But I think that Trump is the WWE president, because I think the people that follow these WWE characters. They know they're not real, but these people are bullies. They're hateful. They're cruel. They're mean. And a lot of the people that are fans of that sport are in positions where they have no power.

10:17They work under a boss they don't like. So they're never ever able to say to someone, go fuck yourself. You're ugly. You're nasty. They don't get to say that. And so Donald Trump, because he has been afforded half a billion dollars in bankrupting casinos and a TV deal that brought him out of bankruptcy, he says that to people. And I think it's the WWE effect on the population. It sounds crazy, but it's really interesting when you get down to the brass tacks of the people that like WWE are the same people that support the president. And I just, I see a through line. I do want to say, I know a lot of people having two sons, two nephews that like WWE.

11:02For sure. I agree. Inherently, I agree that it's a performative presidency and a performative role of toxic masculinity, the performative correlation between WWE and the way Trump governs and the way he's masculine. For sure. I see it there. The psychology behind people who watch WWE for entertainment, I don't know if I then, I think it's a lot deeper. I think Trump hits a lot deeper, deeper, deeper patriarchal, capitalistic worship. um uh i think he hits a lot of those things because i do know a lot of people that i'm not into wwe but i've been to like four wwe matches because my sons were super into it i mean i had the john cena you can't see me and that's just i mean i'm not i'm just saying it's just people like to watch other people be bullied and trump bullies to other people he does yeah yeah he does He absolutely does.
