One of the second biggest lies is that we need to deregulate. These regulations just are so terrible for business. Another lie is that they say we are pro-family. We are pro-life and we care so much about life that we're willing to take away the rights of so many to make sure people have, understand how much we love life. They don't. It's all a lie. And now they're deregulating like crazy. And this shit is unbelievable. When they say they want to make America great again, they want to take it back to deregulated capitalism.
0:48And it's like they're going back to typewriters in the age of iPhones. Pop this up. The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing and cosmetics. Okay. The Food and Drug Administration, their job is to make sure we don't have poison in our products. But now, because everything is a shakedown with this president, the FDA is now servicing and providing cover and more profits for billionaires. So get this straight, MAGA people. You pay your taxes that pays for the FDA to test stuff, to make sure shit is safe, to put on your face, to put in your body. They are supposed to be beholden to no one, only safety for the American public.
1:36Now they're bought and paid for by asbestos cosmetic people that want to skirt the system and poison you. The thing about it is when you look at the shit that the Republicans are doing, there's absolutely not a doubt in my mind that the health of the American people, they don't give a shit. In fact, they welcome the poor, poor people and sick people to die off and not be heard because everything they do shows they don't care about the welfare of your average citizen. It's this weird thing pumps where on the one hand, it's like people need to get married and breed. We're worried about declining birth rates.
2:17Everybody breed, breed, breed. And then the atmosphere that they're creating for people to raise a family in is asbestos, fascism, Russian assets in the government, taking away women's rights. It's just, they're such hypocrites. Here's another just devastating headline with all the shit show that these people do. Pop this up. The Wall Street Journal is reporting an exclusive story. Republicans plan to challenge vehicle safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat. Exclusive Senate committee to challenge auto safety mandates that hurt affordability.
2:58First of all, they don't give a shit about the kids in the car, but it goes back to we're the party of pro-life. We're pro-family. No, you're pro-women staying home, breeding, not being involved in the workplace. So your mediocre men don't have to get their feelings hurt at work when a woman is better. And to sit there and say it's an affordability issue. Nothing should trump the safety of people in cars, full stop. But they don't give a shit because these companies are for their shareholders. So a couple kids die. So we rear in people and make them paralyzed. Who gives a shit? We want to make money.
3:38And we're going to say it's an affordability issue. It is not an affordability issue. It is more money for the stockholder issue. Very well said. Here's just another, here's another example of the pro-death anti-American MAGA administration, pop this up. Morgan Freeman retweets this and said, Trump wants you dead. Brian Tyler Cohen is reporting that Trump just ended a rule limiting a type of pollution that causes heart and lung disease. The rule was expected to save thousands of American lives every year. And this is something you all need to understand. The Republican Party always values profit over everything else.
4:25And how do they get these people to buy into it? They serve up a scapegoat. They serve up racism. They serve up these stupid culture war issues that they have entrenched into the base's sense of religiosity. And in the interim, very few people are making shit tons of money. And all they have to do is donate to that dried up old queen's ballroom or something else that he wants. And it's a total shakedown. And then they're polluting our planet and its citizens. And think about this. think about you guys these people have billions of dollars and it's not enough it's not enough they want their imprint to be that i made even more and if you think about the corporations that have been just horrifically exposed if you think about the sackler family and the opioid products that they put out and you've seen the documentaries and you've read the stories and you've seen the stuff from the court cases they didn't give a shit that people died the same Same thing with big tobacco.
5:33So you have in this situation, you have big auto that doesn't give a shit if their passengers die. They care about profits. You have with these big oil polluting our environment. And Trump is down for all of this because he doesn't even care about the people in his lives. All he cares about is his own fragile ego. Well, and you know, here's the thing. They do not want people to be able to afford health care. So like, I think the estimate by Bernie Sanders and AOC was that 50 ,000 Americans a year will die because of the lack of health care from the ACA. Now you have, they're going to give more heart disease, more lung disease to these people, yet they do not have access to health care.
6:23Nothing says, I don't give a shit if you die more than these policies. It, it, it's unbelievable to me that people vote for this. And I'm sure just like we're pro family, we're pro life. They're not paying attention that in fact they're pro birth. They don't give a flying frog's fat ass. What happens to a child after they're born? No. And it's all this super short-sighted policy. It's just super short-sighted. Like nobody is playing the tape through. It's a real addict style mentality. Right. Like, how can I make as much money right now and break as much stuff as I can? There's no thinking of like legacy and, you know, our company made record profits and we decided to pay our employees, you know, double what was right.
7:10I mean, these people are still going to be insanely, insanely wealthy. But it's fundamentally so immoral that you've got all of these people that are struggling, that are facing medical bankruptcy, real life problems that think that somehow Donald Trump and these tech oligarchs and these big oil oligarchs and car oligarchs are somehow going to help them. They're never going to help you. They're parasites that suck off of your tax. You're the only people that pay taxes. All of these guys get loopholes. All right. Now, here is some obvious Kristi Noem, just her vanity projects. Pop this up. DHS is spending$200 million of our tax money on MAGA ads masquerading as public service announcements.
8:08So, Kristi Noem is a total fucking narcissist that has an addiction to doing PR videos and photo shoots. And she shot her dog and her goat. And that's just, I just have to say that. And she's having an affair with Corey Lewandowski and she's a big family values person, right? Right. There's no, in no world should the D should DHS in a time period where we are in debt, this much in debt as a country, should she be doing a$200 million ad campaign, but Trump hired a bunch of emotionally stunted narcissists to run the country. And this is what we get. Well, and she's buying two jets for herself. She is going around, you know, making companies that she's tied to win bids for the department.
8:57It's corruption on steroids because at the top, you have the most morally bankrupt and corrupt and ethically flawed president who is a criminal. Everyone surrounding him said, oh, I'll work for a criminal. That's fine. They see his corruption. And I'm like, well, if he can do it, we can do it. And Chris, you know, you'll remember she was the governor of South Dakota and she was doing teeth whitening videos for some dentist in Texas. And so now what she's doing, she's like, I've got the limelight. I've got the access to the money. I'm going to take it for me. And it's also an authoritarian play where they use propaganda videos.
9:34It's not just that these are like MAGA campaign videos. These are fascist authoritarian regime propaganda videos, a la North Korea, a la Russian style. And then moving along, this is just stunning reporting, breathtaking out of Forbes. Pop this up. The Trump administration is ordering the State Department to label countries with abortion access, LGBTQ plus protections, DEI policies, and even hate speech safeguards as human rights violators. And so this is Project 2025. This is what the Christian nationalists want. And this is why when I see lesbian Jewish woman, Barry Weiss, trying to play patty cake with a party that welcomes Nick Fuentes, that welcomes people that storm the Capitol with Nazi flags and Camp Auschwitz shirts.
10:42This is why when I see confused and incompetent homosexual Scott Besant in the middle of all of this. This thing, this memo to the State Department to do this, at some point, these knives are going to be directed at you. You're not the magic homo that's going to get the exception. Kash Patel, you're not going to be the magic Indian that's going to get the exception. This is basic white supremacists out of the 1800s policies. And for those of us that have lived in red states for decades, this surprises me zero. And if you want to know how well these policies do, when you abandon advocating for every citizen of your state, when you abandon LGBTQ plus rights, when you abandon minorities, you become a bottom five state, your economy craters, and you start favoring these rich oil and gas guys like they do in Oklahoma.
11:39your economy is not super stable. Your working class people are not safe. And so to all of the marginalized people that have tried to be the exception or the special person in this regime, look no further than this suggestion to the State Department, which they will implement. And it surprises me zero because I've lived around these white Christian nationalists my entire life and they are dead fucking serious, dead serious about a Christian nationalist nation. And I've known this my whole life. These people are focused and ambitious on this cruel breed of crazy. You know, I look at that, tell me you're a white supremacist without telling me you're a white supremacist.
12:25But I look at that and I think they are so scared of equality. They are so scared that white men, straight white men with money might not rule every day. And I look back at this and I hope by the time, you know, I might be dead and gone, but I hope history reflects on the absolute cruelty, just awful, awful nature of this kind of thing. This is hate on steroid. We don't want anybody to be equal because we hate you if you're not us. And then finally, I want to leave you with, I started the episode that mainstream media is abandoning Trump. They seem to not be providing cover where they're talking about low energy, dementia, his confusion.
13:13So everybody is moving on this lame duck and you're going to have heir appearance. And one of the heir apparent of the MAGA movement is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's trying to position herself as somebody who can consolidate the cult. And this guy, Dan Coe, I believe he's running for Congress. I don't know which state, but I like him. He's a pundit on a lot of the cable news shows. And I think he's an excellent communicator. So I wanted to amplify his voice. And here's what he had to say about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Play the clip. Look, my mom raised me to be a nice person. so I'm going to say this as nicely as possible.
13:49Marjorie Taylor Greene is a racist, sexist, homophobic insurrectionist. Let's just run the clock back, okay? This is a person who claimed that the California wildfires were caused by space lasers from a rich Jewish family. She said that Pelosi was using Nazi gazpacho police. She called LGBTQ people predators. She called January 6thers hostages, going on and on again. So we shouldn't let this recent narrative of turning against Trump fool anyone. Either side of the aisle should not want a member of Congress like this. In my opinion, it's good riddance, and we can't have more people like her. The reason I wanted to amplify this is because a lot of times Republicans go out and rebrand themselves, and they control the media news cycle.
14:30And Marjorie Taylor Greene has been doing this the last two weeks. She's been on The View, she's been everywhere, and she's been doing this rebrand. The Democrats have to immediately start attacking it, immediately. Any heir apparent to this cult has to be immediately attacked. And kudos to Dan Coe, because that is fucking A plus messaging. He went right after her, very plain spoken. We need to get this guy in this podcast. I believe he's running for Congress. I don't know which state it is, but we'll look it up. We'll get him on IHIP News because A plus to you. Hats off. Buy our book, Life is a Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches.

So, Pumps is back from vacation and in some of those episodes with Josh, I'm like, Pumps is on vacation. So, I don't want you to be confused. I'm just letting you behind the fourth wall a little bit.
