0:28state высок streets, and they're speaking out about it because they have mixed feelings, because this is new for America. This is new for white America, with the exception. And I always want to point out to all of our black and brown listeners, I hear you and I understand that this has been your experience in America for this entire time. And I sincerely am so sorry for the blind spots that white people in this country have had. But these athletes are over there being asked by the press how they feel about this, and they are exercising their First Amendment rights. And these incredibly immature, petulant, emotionally stunted people in the MAGAverse can't handle it.

1:13They're not concerned about wage inequality. They're not concerned about people not able to pay their rent. They're not concerned about any of that. They're concerned about people agreeing 100 % with them. They cannot handle not only diversity in looks, diversity in accent, diversity in language, but they can't handle diversity in thought. Put up the first one, Kylie. Jesse Kelly says, I'm openly rooting against every one of these people. I hope they fall and embarrass themselves and come in dead last. Man, sports sucks now. Gavin Newsom's press office says, wow, MACA admits it's rooting against Team USA because athletes are using their First Amendment rights.

1:57Then, of course, Megyn Kelly chimes in. The president is 100 % right. And this jerk Hess is clearly struggling to say he proudly represents the United States of America and is honored to wear the stars and stripes. We are all rooting against him. And this is in response to Donald Trump, goes, the president of the United States, goes to his idiotic social media platform where he just lies and propagandizes and just spews hate and immature junior high school shit. This athlete just says, hey, this is difficult. I don't, you know, the stuff going on with ICE, I don't agree with. Why? Because he's a human fucking being.

2:40So Trump, of course, has to go and call him out. and then other people in the MAGAverse are calling out other athletes that are now getting death threats by people within the United States of America. And this is just one, these are two of multiple tweets. Katie Miller chimes in. They're all chiming in because they want to control your thoughts. It's not enough that they control your bedroom. It's not enough that they control your skin color because Stephen Miller wants, if you're not white enough, if you're not a heritage American, Northern European, then you have to get the fuck out, which I don't even think he is.

3:18I think he's from Eastern Europe, but I don't give a shit about that stuff. And it's just disgusting. It's disgusting how these people melt down over the dumbest shit on the planet. Like, why are you in politics? And why are you a commentator if you're offended by people having a different opinion than you? Well, they're offended about everything. And you look at Donald Trump, the president of the United States, bad mouthing and demeaning a U.S. Olympic athlete, and they all pile on. There's no bottom to the absolutely appalling behavior of this administration and the people that commentate. But I'm like you.

4:01When you look at the litmus test for MAGA, hunt the American flag, you're a patriot. Represent your country in the United States Olympics, and we're going to root against you because you're not all the way down the line with the cult. And all I think about every time something like this happens is there's a freedom party. They're pro-America, yet they do not believe in any of the constitutionally given rights that we are granted as citizens because they want to take them all away so they can control everybody. I mean, that is it, full stop. They do not want people to have their own constitutional rights and exercise them freely.

4:45And it is sad. And it's terrifying for them that American citizens can go abroad and sit down in front of the international press that isn't bought and paid for by Trump billionaire ass kisser sycophants and say how they genuinely feel and that they can tell the world we live there, but we don't support this regime. We love our country, but we don't support this Nazi style Gestapo. And we see the similarities to the 1930s. And it's terrifying for them that these athletes would go over in front of an international press and say this. And so that's why they're freaking out, demanding that they come home, because they want to control them here, because Trump's sycophants own all of the media here.

5:32They own all of the social media here. And speaking of ICE, all of these brave athletes that very, very respectfully said, you know, they weren't just straight up bashing the United States, bashing this regime. And that's the difference. The MAGA people are so stupid that they don't understand compound thoughts that you can like your country and disagree with your government. ICE has been, you know, the big subject. and it needs to be abolished period it needs to 100 be abolished we do not need this gestapo trump should not have this um it is a a white supremacy army to quote tenisi coates um and there's no other way to say it than that and in it we have found that several dozen ice and cbp officers are violent sex offenders.

6:29Kylie, pop this up. Multiple reports have identified roughly 30 current and former ICE and CBP personnel who have been charged or convicted of violent and or sexual crimes, including sex crimes against children. And Melanie DiRaggio responds to this and says violent sex crimes against children isn't a deal breaker for employment by the Trump administration. The Epstein files proved that. And I would even say it's almost a prerequisite. You have in the Epstein files drops now where Epstein, after he was a convicted pedophile, he's sitting down with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, all having dinner.

7:19This Epstein class, to quote Ro Khanna, Congressman Ro Khanna, he brilliantly named them the Epstein class. This is the sexual depravity and the dehumanization of little girls, removing their agency, removing their autonomy at a very young age. This is something this entire movement is okay with. So when you see athletes go over and exercise their agency, exercise their autonomy, exercise their freedom of thought, these people that even want to control little children and all of the MAGA Christians that blindly and obediently support this sexual pedophile cabal sit there and have the audacity to criticize Olympic athletes for having a triple digit IQ and the ability to have a compound feeling.

8:17It's so disgusting, but I'm like you. I think it's a prerequisite. Look at the cabinet. Look at Pete Heggseth. Look at Trump himself. I mean, Donald Trump is a convicted felon. He is an adjudicated rapist. So that didn't bother the people that voted for him. They were like, oh, it's fine. You want to go out against women and force them to have sex against their will and violate them? No big deal. The Epstein files show us Trump sent it up to his eyeballs. These people sit there and say we're family values. They're not. They don't give a fuck as long as they get everything they want, which is submission by women, superiority over minorities, and get to be racist and bigot.

9:04And nobody would work for this administration unless they were okay with all of those things. And ICE is just a melting pot of evil people without morals or ethics. And they're predators. And the people who sign up for this are predators. So they want to prey on black and brown people. It's not that big of a stretch that these people would predate on people sexually. There's just no question about it. And I want to point out the hypocrisy that these people want to control the Super Bowl. They want to control Olympic athletes. They want to have a segregated halftime show. They want to force a North Korea style exercise of thought on Olympic athletes.

9:51But when it comes to them, they prop up the most immature, demented, just it just I mean, just embarrassment of a human being, Donald Trump. And he Politico breaks over the story that President White Trash Hillbilly wants to exclude the Democratic governors. Put this up. Politico reports White House excluding Dems from annual governors meeting. and David Frum responds to this and says, years ago, I described Trump's definition of his job as, quote, president of the white people of the red states of America. I think Trump kind of changed his mind after this Politico reporting, and then he just zeroed in on the nation's only Black governor, Governor Wes Moore of Maryland.

10:39And here's what Wes Moore has to say about it. Play the clip. Your perspective, why are you being excluded from this dinner? Well, I've long learned that I'm not trying to get inside over the president's psyche. It's not a good use of my time. It's not lost to me that I'm the only black governor in this country. And I find that to be particularly painful, considering the fact that the president is trying to exclude me from an organization that not only are my peers have asked me to help to lead, but then also a place where I know I belong in. And so I've long learned and I've talked to the people and the children of my state is that I'm never in a room because of someone's benevolence nor kindness.

11:22I'm not in a room because of a social experiment. I'm in the room because I belong there and the room was incomplete until I got there. You're saying that he's excluding you because of the color of your skin? Well, I don't know. I can't speak to the president's intent. it's not lost to me, but I can't speak to the president's intent. Of course he is. Of course he's excluding. Yes. I mean, come on. Of course he's excluding Westmore because he's black. This is the guy who truth social, the most racist shit on the planet, the most disgusting that by the way, in white circles is still said all the time that landed in the MAGA base because the MAGA base racists still do these racial tropes of comparing black people to apes.

12:09It's still very ubiquitous in red state Bible belt culture. And so he knew it would land. His staff knew it would land. And this is just an extension of that racism. And I'm so tired of everybody acting like, is Donald Trump racist? Of course he's fucking racist. The worst thing about this thing is, you guys, though, he's surrounded by people that are even worse than he is. And he's a horrific Klansman. Listener, being an American right now, the news can be overwhelming and you don't know what is real, what isn't, what is propaganda. That's why I am so happy to share with you all the reason Pumps and I are able to do IHIP News is because every morning we use Ground News.

12:56They're basically the Spotify of news telling you who owns each outlet, where it leans politically, and whether you're reading original reporting or recycled messaging. Here's a prime example. Here's a headline. Trump refuses to apologize for racist clip of Obama's as monkeys. In my Ground News app, it tells me that this article has high factuality and it is a left leaning paper. juxtaposing this with a lean right paper. The headline is, this is just who Trump is. So as you can see, listener, it's really important that you understand what other Americans are reading and how they come to these conclusions, and to make sure that you are the best citizen you can be and are informed and armed with facts.

And we're linking that right below in the show notes. You know, it's just so disgusting when you see in Republican Party politics and taking us back to the primary with the Republican race for who was going to be the presidential candidate, Nikki Haley. America is not a racist country.

14:24Bullshit, Nikki. And until we all look at this and say there is a huge swath of the United States citizenry that are terrible and unrepentant racist. They've been given a platform with Donald Trump because that's his love language, is racism, but we cannot sit here and act like, is it a question? Do you think he excluded you because you're black? Of course he fucking did. He tells us every day in every way, stand back and stand by to the Proud Boys, pardoning all those fuckers. This man is a racist. He is enacting racist policies look no further than the repealing of DEI in every space. It's not a question.

15:06I'm with you. It's a matter of fact. And I think going forward, people should say, you support President Donald Trump. Are you a racist? Because he is a racist and his policies are racist. So are you a racist to every single person that gets on TV and tries to defend this man? Because it's in fucking defensible. Well, because they are racist. They are. I mean, After all of this time, and we can even go back to decades and decades ago, this man's horrific views on race. It's not only the people in the media that give him a pass, it's the people in our everyday lives that feed and vote on this racism.

15:52And these people want to live in the kid rock America. I want to live in the bad bunny America. I love multiculturalism. My life is a million times better because of multiculturalism. When I'm in all white Republican circles, I don't know if our older members and viewers will know what this is. You remember the movie Silkwood, where Karen Silkwood had to take the shower. After I'm around a bunch of white MAGA Christian Republicans, I feel like I need a Silkwood shower. I never felt that way before Trump when I was in those circles, but now I do because the hoods are off. These are KKK style racists that have to have their own segregated Super Bowl show.

16:37All right. And lastly, I just want to leave you all with something that I'm keeping an eye on. We all know in the Epstein files, it was revealed that Jeffrey Epstein is more than likely a Mossad agent and acting on behalf of Israel, but also an agent of Vladimir Putin's and Witkoff and Kushner and Trump are getting played by the Russians left and right. Pop this up. President Zelensky says there's a rumored$12 trillion U.S.-Russia pact. He says the draft, the Dmitriev package cited by Ukrainian intelligence may implicate Ukraine's sovereignty and security. Gary Kasparov says the only pact is with bank accounts.

17:24Trump loves to throw around trillion dollar US deals that don't exist, will never exist. Whitcoff and Kushner have only ever been there to enrich the Trump family as every Russia deal is to enrich Putin's. Ukraine is their sacrificial vehicle. So I just want to point out the following. There is allegedly this deal that the Russians are saying, if you give us Ukraine, because the United States is, we're halfway kind of supporting Ukraine's military right now. We'll give you$12 trillion. Russia's GDP is$2 trillion. Russia, anybody who's done business in Russia knows these people are liars and cold blooded killers.

18:08These people are getting played and dog walked with our money. Whitcoff and Trump and Kushner are using 250 years of events and advantages that people suffered in this country for, specifically black Americans serving in the military, coming back here and getting spit on by racist, white, MAGA style Christians. and then all of the business, all of the tax pay, these people are using all that leverage to enrich themselves. And MAGA still sits here and blindly, blindly supports these people that just all they do is cheat the system. That's all these people know how to do. All right. Like, subscribe, comment.

18:57We'll be back later with more news.

19:07Thank you.
