In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump’s claims and policies are driven by corruption, incompetence, and money rather than truth—especially on AI and elections. It claims Trump and MAGA dismiss “AI fears” as a hoax, uses “genetics” rhetoric framed as Nazi-like, and supports AI without guardrails (citing NBC: “AI doesn’t need guardrails, only a high IQ president”). It also claims Trump’s midterm election “cheating” efforts were blocked: SCOTUS rejected USPS mail-ballot rule changes for 2026. It highlights MAGA’s alleged racism and hypocrisy tied to Christian politics, and points to abortion bans causing women’s deaths (citing ectopic pregnancy deaths nearly doubling; Oklahoma and Texas).
Notable examples
Kelly Loeffler campaigning; Moms for America endorsing Max Miller; Elizabeth Warren on abortion bans; Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04The party of family values wants to tell you the Epstein files are a hoax. The 2020 election results are a hoax. Anything that makes Trump look like an idiot or exposes his abject idiocy, hoax, hoax, hoax. Now his new thing, AI fears are a hoax. This is such a pedestrian argument. I think it really hits hard with the MAGA rubes, but go ahead and play the clip. A little genetic strength, if you believe in the racehorse theory, but I do. I have genetics. That explains why you know so much about AI. Well, I know about AI. I also have common sense about AI. The robots will not be taken over. The AI will not be taken over the rest of the world.
0:48The whole thing is a hoax. Josh. I feel so much better now that I've heard him say that. I feel like that 10 % has completely been removed that we're going to all be extinct in a number of years. If you notice one thing about that clip, first of all, you've got all these guys that are completely sucking up to him, putting him on speakerphone, laughing, normalizing all of this stuff. You've got him. He's arguably the dumbest, most corrupt. He's by far the most corrupt, but he's easily also the dumbest president we've ever had. his opinion on ai is as crazy as him being a counselor to sexual abuse victims i mean it's just insane to take anything he says at his word it's and if you notice at the beginning of that him talking about genetics and um it's incredibly um hitler-esque is what it is um this is at the epicenter of a lot of the MAGA movement that combines all of these forces together.
1:56You have the crazy Christians with these tech guys, you know, particularly Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, who are, and then you throw in J.D. Vance, they talk about the great replacement theory. All of this lives in the big racist tent that MAGA is building. So that stuff about genetics is very Nazi-like and very terrifying. But here's another terrifying headline about Trump's approach to AI. Pop this up. Derek Guy, he's the guy who comments on tailoring and suits. He says, oh, we're fucked. The headline from NBC News is, Trump says AI doesn't need guardrails, only a high IQ president. And Pumps, you know, you and I have covered this many, many times.
2:42I think whenever Trump goes on and on and on about something, I have a high IQ, I have a high IQ. This is how I think it goes down. He's in his bed, fluffed up with Natalie serving him a Filet-O-Fish or a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder, right? And he's got his little pudgy fingers and his teeny tiny little hands, as Vanity Fair magazine reported on a couple of decades ago. And he's scrolling through Twitter with a little nub pink arm finger, right? And he sees free IQ tests. And he's like, hey, Natalie, we're going to take this IQ test and we're going to nail it. And he hits it and he does it. And we're talking like 85, you know, 90 is what he gets back.
3:19So he just starts spiraling and spiraling about it. So he talks about it all the time. And I think it's a big tell what Trump talks about all the time, like cognitive exams. I think he took, this is just my opinion and my theory. I think he took a IQ test, spectacularly failed it. And he and Natalie have been trying to redo it ever since. Well, right after he took a cognitive test that he failed over and over and over again. Here's the thing about the AI stuff. If you look at Trump's support of AI, it is directly related to campaign contributions to his campaign,$400 million campaign fund that has given no money to any campaigns.
3:57Which I'm grateful for. Pardon? Which I'm grateful that he's not sharing his money. Sure. I agree. It's directly related to investments in his family's company, I'm sure Trump's company, stock market change. So I promise you, if the AI CEOs came out and said, Trump sucks, we're running against him, he would be on fire every day talking about the evils of AI. This is directly related to money. And for me, I am going to listen to not the biggest dumb fuck on planet Earth that thinks Hannibal Lecter is real and a hologram of Teddy Roosevelt is real. And I'm going to go with experts in the AI industry.
4:42And I'm going to listen to what they say. And I'm going to listen to objective experts in this field and not some thumb up his ass dipshit that's taken money hand over fist while the frauds are J.D. Vance sits with his hands in his ass. Listener, trying to find the perfect skincare routine is like finding a needle in a haystack. They all make lots of promises. They all have sleek Instagram pages, but very few deliver. However, one skin, one skin hits different. And that's why I've been loving, and I mean, absolutely loving their products. They never set out to become a skincare company. Founded by four PhD longevity scientists, they focused on one thing, skin aging.
5:30After years of research and testing over 900 novel peptides, they developed OS01, their proprietary peptide proven to address a leading driver of visible skin aging. It's the foundation of every product they make. So over time, you'll actually see smoother skin, a more even tone and radiance, and visibly fewer fine lines. Listener, born from over 10 years of longevity research, One Skin is helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age. For a limited time, you can try One Skin with a 15 % off using our code IHIP at oneskin.co slash IHIP. Again, And that's 15 % off oneskin.co with the code IHIP.
6:21After you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them. Please support our show and let them know that we sent you. Very well said. And here we have Trump's scheme to cheat in the midterms. It's actually shot down by the Supreme Court. Pop this up. breaking the Supreme Court has refused to let USPS's new mail ballot rules take effect for the 2026 midterms. Justices Alito and Thomas dissent. Josh, I'm sure you're just shocked as all get out that those two would dissent on that. They are in the tank for Trump. It doesn't matter what. What it is. Yeah, they're in. Yeah, this was assuring, but this is just the first step.
7:05I mean, Thank goodness this didn't this USPS executive order by Trump to implement this mail ballot. Thank goodness the court struck this down because it was fraught with all sorts of problems. And and so that's set aside for now. We don't know if they're doing that based on the merits of the case itself or is it just based on timing that there's not enough time to implement this. But thank goodness it's off the table for the 2026 election. But this is just the beginning for Trump. I mean, I think there's been reporting that DOJ has contacted a lot of state officials recently and sort of amped up their intimidation, fear tactics.
7:47And so more to be revealed later about this. But, yes, this is a good decision for the American people. Okay, Pumps, you talked about Trump not sharing his$400 million war chest, which I'm grateful for. I'm glad he's not giving money to Paxton and others. In this instance, I'm happy for his stinginess. But instead, he's sending out people from his cabinet and his administration. And I'm also grateful that he's putting these people out on the campaign trail. One of them is Kelly Loeffler. And you may remember she ran for Senate in Georgia and she was beat. And then she had this really weird video that came out a couple of weeks ago where she's like robotically walking and talking.
8:30Well, of course, you know, she's a huge bigot and she is, I believe, a billionaire, if not hundreds of millions of dollars this lady's worth. And here she is. The racism, you guys, that MAGA is turning to right now is at an all time high because they cannot run on the abject failure that we see all day, every day play the clip. Yeah, it's shocking. It's absolutely shocking. They're party standard bearers like AOC, Zoran Mondami, Abdul Al-Sayed. Yeah, they're ashamed of America. They're ashamed of our flag. They want to radically change our nation. They believe the government has a greater right to your paycheck and to your property than you do.
9:20Okay. So, Angie, those racist dog whistles to Zoran, to Abdul, to AOC, this is something that really works well for MAGA because we still have a huge racist problem in our country. And sadly, that fear mongering because they know they have a poorly educated racist base works really, really well. Yeah. And here's the thing. I grew up in a MAGA household. Racism was everywhere. Black, brown, green, all the same.
10:02In that sphere of people, voting for AOC, super Christian, voting for AOC, I mean, AOC and the devil that your preacher preaches about on Sunday, that's the same. And calling somebody like Barack Hussein Obama, it worked because people are intimidated and they have fear of people that don't look like them and have boring names. And it's stunning that in 2026, I feel like it's worse than it was in, you know, 10 years ago. And maybe it's just more outwardly. Everybody's talking about it. But I agree with you. This hits hard because I promise you that my parents, they would rather vote for Satan than AOC because she is the devil or evil or whatever moniker you want to put on it.
10:54Well, and that's the problem that that the Republican Party has so brilliantly enmeshed Republican politics with church. Yep. And they have been doing it for years and years and years. And when you look at how hypocritical the MAGA Christian cult is, they claim, OK, Jesus is our homeboy. You see that they wear the bracelets. W.W.J.D. What would Jesus do? Well, let's let's figure out what you all would do. The white MAGA Christians, what would you all do if Jesus came to the United States right now? let's play this tape through brown-skinned palestinian would be an immigrant talking about all of the same things that aoc talks about abdul al-sayed talks about zoran mamdani talks about i would argue that they might make a case for crucifying him i think that the people who claim that jesus christ is their savior if if we were to have a time machine and bring him back here they wouldn't tolerate his radical empathy for a second and here we have a story where maga women have made their newest endorsement for the midterms.
12:01Pop this up. Moms for America endorses Representative Max Miller. And Max Miller allegedly beat his child, beat his wife, because he has allegedly compromising information on his father-in-law as a raging homosexual, closeted Republican thing. So this is, to me, the perfect MAGA family, Just like Christy Noem and Big Titty Brian. The more you know, the more MAGA Christian families you know, the more this is normal. Josh. Well, and it's like there's something that attracts them to the bottom of the barrel, the morally depraved, the morally bankrupt people. I mean, these aren't just people that have made some mistakes.
12:50These are like abusers of women, abusers of kids. You know, we had the gentleman yesterday down in Texas that's running for something that talked about the mix of kids at the University of Texas. I mean, all of these people, like, follow this person, Jesus Christ, and they all spew so much hate and act in such opposition to all of the teachings of the Bible. And I'm an atheist like you. And, you know, I don't know the Bible real well, but I know that everything that they do is in stark opposition to the teachings of the Bible, that their hate, their lack of compassion, their lack of forgiveness.
13:36All of it is just stunning. I mean, and that's what we know religion as in the state of Oklahoma. That's how we grew up knowing religion. is something that creates fear. There's a lot of fear mongering with religion. And it requires, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. It requires blind obedience. And it is a very fear-based religion. It scares the shit out of people from birth. You have to be obedient. You can't question. And that sets the psychological soil perfectly for them to fall prey to this cult. Furthermore, problems are not discussed. It is just go to church on the weekend, pray it away, pick up the rug, sweep it under, roll it back down.
14:19So it's forgiveness without accountability all of the time. And who operates this way? Donald Trump. He has received forgiveness with zero accountability from the American electorate. And Josh, you said all of these people are finding each other. And it's because it's familiar. This abusive, hateful movement is familiar to every single voter who votes for this because in their mind, their perverted sect of this cultish Christianity is cruel. It is judgmental. And for all of us that have ever lived in the Bible Belt, the meanest people I have ever met in my life are the loudest, most religious people, full stop.
15:05The cruelest people I have ever met. And I know that Angie And Josh can attest to that. The louder the Christian, the meaner that son of a bitch is going to be. And while these women endorse abusers, women in red states are dying. Pop this up. Elizabeth Warren tweets, abortion bans are killing women. Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled. It's worse in states with abortion bans. And my message in reading this is to sitting governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, who dedicated every square inch of the state of Oklahoma to Jesus Christ and Christian signaled. And then all you have done since then is make it easier for your oil and gas buddies who are raping and pillaging and exacerbating climate change to get even richer and not pay taxes.
15:55But, oh, you lie to the public. We're a top 10 state. We're a top 10 state. No, we're a bottom 10 state governed by a charlatan, a snake oil salesman, and a liar. And you have blood on your hands, Kevin Stitt, because women in our home state are dying because you sell out to big business. And big business realized a long time ago, how do we control the dumbest people? Oh, we get them all riled up about abortion. And you fell hook, line, sinker into it. You pardon some gal that killed somebody or got her out of out of jail that paralyzed somebody, I believe. You don't care about life. You don't care about your religion.
16:37You use it to make yourself and your racist friends richer. The Oklahoma is a prime example of when Republicans have a super majority. What happens? The cruelty is on full display. And people in Oklahoma will say, we need to take our country back. We need to take our government back. From who? Oklahoma's had a super majority all of this time. And we're still a bottom 10 state, 50th in education, 50th place for women to live in the United States of America and Governor Stitt. You're killing people on top of that. And guess what they're going to do next? Next, they're going to elect somebody that is even crazier than Kevin Stitt.
17:15And I want to say this to all of my friends in Oklahoma City, because you get this feeling like, oh, because you're around a lot of normal, open-minded people that are progressive blue dots in a red state um it's devastating and suffocating living around these freaks that use religion and claim moral superiority over everybody there just because they simply say amen i'm dedicating every square inch to jesus off it's so diabolical angie i'll just add i everything you said is true i believe everything you said is correct. In Texas, where they are hounding women on the highway, trying to go to New Mexico to get reproductive health care, they are delaying the mortality, the women's mortality rate until after the midterms.
18:07Because women in that state are dying. Women are dying because of pregnant ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages. These are not people that are running around using birth control, using abortion as birth control. These are everyday women. And you know what? The politicians, they don't give a shit. They don't care. Josh, let's talk about this. The women that are quote unquote, this lie that women are using abortion as birth control, that's something Republicans have done as a slut shaming tactic. I would argue if we were to do a big study right now. The people who use abortion for birth control are far more Republicans who knocked up their secretary or their teenage niece because they all seem to be, especially in red states, it's child brides and underage sex and all this shit.
19:00And then all of the women who start having sex, but they don't want their parents to know that they're having sex. And so they're not on birth control. So then they have to go out and get abortions. It's just the disgusting hypocrisy of red states is now national. And so for everybody who's flirting with like in Michigan, if you're flirting with, I don't know about Abdul, I'm scared of Abdul. He's Muslim. Be careful as people from red states. Let me tell you, there is no bottom for these people. They will keep going and going and going until they've taken away everybody's rights. Josh. I'm more scared of white men in cheap suits than anybody else in the state of Oklahoma.
19:42Those guys scare me. They're more evil than Mamdani, AOC, anybody like that. But there's a couple of points. Angie hit on the fact that politicians like Kevin Stitt, they don't give a They don't give a shit that young women are dying. They just don't care. They prop this issue up as if it's related somehow to the Bible or it's religious and sell it like a snake oil salesman, like they do. And then, you know, Jennifer, the bigger point here is the hypocrisy in religion and caring for everyone equally and what's happening to these young girls. I mean, what really is disheartening to me is when you see women supporting the Republican Party, like you saw the post beforehand where you saw they were endorsing this candidate.
20:37It's like, what are they thinking? Are they just that uneducated? Are they that religious? Have they been sold this message somehow that Christianity is associated with being a Republican and we have to then vote for a Republican straight up? Is that what it is? Because I just don't understand it. It's like African-Americans voting for Donald Trump. I'll never understand it. I'll never understand a marginalized group of people or a minority group of people voting for someone who basically is an oppressor that basically uses their position to hurt you. I don't understand it. Which brings all of us and all of our beautiful listeners out there.
21:17None of us understand the 77 million people who put us in this predicament, despite all of the evidence that it would be this big of a shit show. The only thing that has surprised me is how quickly he's torn it down. I knew he would tear it all down. I didn't realize they would do it this quickly. But I have had some conversations with some sitting politicians. the supreme court just held that united states surprisingly you guys i think they're going to try to cheat but we're going to get out and we're going to vote so some hopium at the end of this episode is that the elections are still here he's not going to cancel them he may pretend like he's going to do and he and natalie may throw ketchup all over around with their filet of fishes natalie but we're all going to go vote and we're going to go out in droves and it's specifically in places like Florida, we have an incredible, incredible candidate, Angie Nixon, Abdul El-Sayed, obviously John Ossoff, and he's going to win.
22:18Oh, I know, Tallarico in Texas. We have got to flip the Senate too. It's not enough just to flip the House. And so this is something I want to thank everybody for staying engaged because, my God, I mean, when Josh and I have been on vacation or Pumps has been on vacation or like a Labor Day weekend and I don't have to look at the news for a couple of days, I'm like, oh, this is great. But it's dangerous. And so I appreciate every single one of you staying focused and staying engaged and commenting so that we can try to reclaim this country for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren and the people we love.
