In short

The episode is a political interview/critique focused on Donald Trump, Christian nationalism, immigration rhetoric, child sexual abuse accountability, and tax policy. The host argues Trump endorses unqualified candidates and cites “Lady Graham’s genetics” as an example of eugenics-style logic. A key segment highlights a Fox News moment involving Oliver Larkin, who says Fox repeatedly uses inflammatory questions about immigrants (including “children being raped”) to demonize them while avoiding scrutiny of Trump and Epstein-related allegations. Larkin claims Trump is named in Epstein files over a million times and supports the Epstein Files Transparency Act, urging DOJ compliance and House subpoena power. He also argues for higher capital gains taxes, closing loopholes, and opposing corporate PAC money.

Guests

0:35all right trump is endorsing candidates left and right that are absolutely unqualified crazy and unapologetic ass kissers of his demented ass and one of these is the late lady graham's sister darlene darlene graham and here is donald trump talking about darlene graham's great let me check my notes here genetics play the clip and it's great that she's doing so well and she's a very good woman and she's got good genetics because she's related to lindsey who's a real professional real professional great genetics let's take a little gander at the late lady graham and his great genetics there he is so by trump's logic darlene would be an alcoholic lesbian but i don't think there's anything wrong with the lesbian part, nor do I think the alcoholic part, as long as they're in recovery, as we all know Lady Graham was not.

1:30But of course, we also have the great specimen, genetic champion, Lindsey Graham, with her bubble wand later in life, one of the final photographs of Lady Graham. But Trump is going to continue to endorse unqualified dipshits based on stupid reasons like Lindsey Graham's imaginary great genetics, which is total Hitlerian in concept, this whole eugenics thing. But I digress. We have to attack this president all day, every day. And a candidate for Congress went on Fox News the other day and rattled the shit out of the anchor. Watch this. It is excellent. No notes. The number that is fine with you.

2:16Is there a benchmark? Is it fine? How many children can be raped and it's fine if you're in relation to the immigration community? If we're going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president, Donald Trump, accountable and all those that have been implicated by the Epstein files that the Department of Justice is still not leaking. And they've sent APAC after Thomas Massey for having the temerity to hold accountable the pedophiles that are in control Thank you. We appreciate your time very much. Who is this knight in shining armor that had the Fox News guy just, I mean, absolutely spiraling?

2:55Well, his name is Oliver Larkin, and he is running for Congress in Florida, and he is my next guest. Oliver, that is a master class. Inject that into my veins. Welcome to IHIP News. Please tell me about that moment. That was the culmination of him asking three or four times these really inflammatory questions about immigrants. It started with him playing footage from the migrants crossing the border from Morocco into Spain into Ceuta. And he said, shouldn't Americans be afraid that this is going to happen if Democrats take back Congress and take back the White House? And I said, there's nothing to be afraid of people seeking a better life in the United States.

3:37And he said, well, well, what about all the crime that immigrants commit? And I said, immigrants commit crime at a lower rate than US-born citizens. And then he went in that direction of what about the children that are being raped? And I said, if you want to go there, then of course, we need to talk about the elephant in the room with Donald Trump. So I really tried to answer it in a responsible way. But when Fox News does their thing where they ask these inflammatory questions to try to demonize immigrants, they're almost daring you to call out the hypocrisy with who they're protecting every day.

4:09I mean, there's never been a larger body of evidence for someone in public life than Donald Trump of crimes with the Epstein class, with his own Access Hollywood tapes, the Eugene Carroll case, that he was found civilly liable by a jury of his peers. I mean, there's an enormous body of evidence for this guy. And I think that far too many people are just willing to sweep it under the rug or turn it into a meme or a joke when really at the end of the day, there are victims here. There are survivors that deserve accountability. And they're not currently getting that because the Department of Justice is not complying with the law that Donald Trump himself signed to release the Epstein files.

4:45Yeah. And then you have all of these child sex abuser apologists and Fox News being one of the propaganda machines that provides cover. And when you reminded the audience, which Fox never covers it, about the Epstein files, I mean, he had literally I mean, he's like, OK, stop, stop, stop. i mean it was just it was really good that's why i think it's so important for candidates like yourself to go everywhere any way anybody that will take you to sit down i think we need to take our message everywhere i also want to ask you this you know i'm a i'm an atheist and i believe that we should have separation of church and state but the republican party has brought religion in full force into their party platform.

5:28And they want to both be religious and supporters of Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior, who was this radical empath, while at the same time demonizing marginalized people that their Lord and Savior would be actually helping refugees. And do you think the Democratic Party does enough attacking the hypocritical faith of MAGA? Because I don't think they do. No, I think there's a lot more room to have this radical empathy, this kind of Christian love that I think James Tallarico actually really exemplifies quite well in Texas. Talking about if you are a conservative, if you're a Christian, and you're talking about the Bible, this and Jesus Christ, that then let's talk about welcoming the stranger, about giving food to the hungry, about giving clothing to the unsheltered.

6:24And I think this is something that we have the moral high ground. In this case, the Republicans and the Christian nationalists, they're so depraved and their kind of personal relationship with Jesus makes it so that they can kind of excuse whatever. And they said, well, It's just my Jesus told me that this was okay, or what have you. And I think that on the progressive side, we have a lot more opportunity to share that our agenda, that the agenda of welcoming immigrants of lifting people out of poverty of providing housing for all of making sure that we have a government that actually provides for those most in need.

7:11there is something that is very tied in with a lot of people's faith there. And I think that as someone who's raised Catholic, who maybe I consider myself more agnostic now, but I do take the learnings of what I was raised on to apply it into my politics. And even if I'm not going to church every Sunday, if I'm practicing a politics that embraces the needy and that respects people's differences and that really tries to make the United States a country that anyone can come and really live their American dream here. I think that's something that we can really use to undercut the kind of moral high ground, the hypocritical moral high ground that Republicans oftentimes wield based on their religion, even when they themselves don't even practice the teachings of the Bible.

8:08Exactly. And to prove your point here, Trump is named in the Epstein files over one million times. This is a prolific child sex trafficker and rapist, Jeffrey Epstein and the cabal of people who have participated in this with impunity. One could argue Donald Trump is one of those that's participated in it with impunity. And if you're elected, what are you going to do to push for transparency in this law that was signed into office that the Republican Party, Moses Mike Johnson, you know, big, big, big Christian, they refuse, they refuse to hold their own accountable while at the same time claiming to be the party of family values and the family and the party for children they claim they care so much about children that they ban books and they have stage five meltdowns about drag queens but when actual children were being raped and the survivors are here to speak about it they do nothing but protect the abusers yeah i think what rocona and thomas massey were able to do in building support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

9:22And also shout out to Representative Summer Lee, who was able to get a lot of that disclosed through committee. God willing, we get a Democratic House majority in November, and then we have subpoena power to actually call members of this administration before Congress to testify. And I would like to hear from members of the Justice Department that are still dragging their feet, that are redacting wholesale so many pages and so many omissions of Donald Trump's name in the Epstein files, they need to testify under oath, under sworn testimony, under threat of criminal accountability if they break the law, if they lie under oath.

10:02And we need to also make sure that when we're seeking this accountability, that it's not just limited to, of course, Donald Trump, but there are Howard Lutnick. I mean, so many people that are implicated in these files that really are just getting off completely scot-free right now. So I think that with the subpoena power in the House of Representatives, we can compel this testimony. And if there needs to be more legislation that's passed, I mean, we saw the groundswell of public support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It became unavoidable for Donald Trump, even though he was kicking and screaming and dragging his feet against signing this bill, it just became an imperative because it was the Pizzagate conspiracies, the QAnon conspiracies that led to Donald Trump's first election that really has, again, these Republicans, projection is an art that they have perfected.

10:59Everything that they accuse progressives, everything that they accuse Democrats of, it is what they themselves are guilty of. And I think just continuing to hammer that point home and using leverage come January that House Democrats don't currently have because they're in the minority. I think they continue to agitate. And in our district, this is really personal to us. I'm running to represent Palm Beach, Broward in Miami-Dade County. We're a stone's throw away from Mar-a-Lago. I mean, the victims, the young girls, the survivors, they've been groomed and taken out of our community. So this is about protecting the children in South Florida and seeking accountability for the perpetrators, the rapists, the traffickers that have exploited children, including Donald Trump and his associates.

11:48So I think with our position running in South Florida, we can really use this as a bully pulpit to seek justice for the survivors. And staying with this track of just how hypocritical the MAGA movement is, You know, it's all wrapped up in this Christian nationalism. Trump himself posted a picture of him as Jesus Christ. And, you know, never in the Bible did Jesus ever talk about the accumulation of wealth. Quite the contrary. Yet all of these MAGA Christians fight tooth and nail for a very few to accumulate obscene, obscene amounts of wealth. And yesterday Trump announced his latest move to dick over the working class.

12:32Let's pop this up. President Trump is weighing to cut to capital gains taxes ahead of midterm elections per Bloomberg. There has not been a major cut to capital gains tax rates in the U.S. since 2003. This would have massive implications if implemented. What's your take on that? I mean, there's the saying in the Bible, easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. And this extreme accumulation of wealth is really what Republicans, they castigate the left and they say, why do you hate America? Why are you un-American? Why are you not so patriotic? And yet what we've seen in our lifetime, really dating back to Ronald Reagan, is the transfer of wealth to some of the most extreme levels of wealth and income inequality that we've seen since the Great Depression or perhaps in United States history.

13:27And these capital gains tax rates. I was on Fox News again. I've been on Fox News a lot lately. God love you. Keep doing it. I think it's so good. I love it. I have a responsibility to do it running in a purple district to show that as a progressive, as a democratic socialist, I can also punch back against Republicans. I was in the green room on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, and they were going through all of the Fox News polling. And And they found a bunch of things stood out to me. But one that really stood out was in a Fox News poll. They asked respondents, who are Donald Trump's tax policies going to benefit the most?

14:02And there were five or six options. And more than 50 % said it is going to benefit the wealthy. And Donald Trump had this conceit. It was a very false conceit of being the representative of the working class. And it's just, I mean, someone who's got gold-plated toilets in his penthouse. I mean, it's always been absurd. But this is what Republicans are so scared about in November. This is why Donald Trump is entertaining things like states of emergency and allowing for the intimidation of people at the polls with his aligned groups like the Proud Boys or the Three Percenters or the Oath Keepers.

14:41I mean, it is all in an attempt to benefit the people that he had at Mar-a-Lago when he had the fossil fuel executives. And he said, if you contribute to me for this campaign, I'll give you a billion dollars in tax cuts. I mean, this is someone who has been the most corrupt president in United States history. And it is plain on its face that this is just going to benefit the top one-tenth of one-tenth of one percent that Elon Musk's the trillionaires. and the rest of us are left wanting. And that is breaking through now to even the MAGA audience. Donald Trump's approval ratings have never been lower.

15:17And I think it's because people see the hypocrisy and just the disingenuousness that he's not actually there fighting for working class Americans. He's fighting for Wall Street. He's fighting for the billionaires. And this capital gains tax cut is something that I think we need to increase the capital gains tax. We need to close these loopholes. We need to make sure that billionaires and corporations aren't able to get away with paying zero dollars effectively in taxes or getting these massive tax breaks. There's such inequity in our taxation system where working people are actually paying a greater proportion of their income than the wealthy and well-connected.

15:52And this is just an attempt by Donald Trump and his allies to further that inequality. Your primary is next Tuesday. And we're seeing progressive wins across the country. And we see that I'm seeing at least that I think the electorate likes people that fight. He went on Fox News and you took him on and just called it, called it out. You want to talk about child rapes? Let's tee it up. And of course he has a meltdown, but I'm going to ask you some rapid fire questions that I think are important to the electorate. And I just want you to answer these yes or no. Abolish ICE. Yes. Tax the rich. Yes.

16:27Cut off military aid, both offense and defensive to Israel. Yes. Okay. And then rejecting corporate PAC money. Yes or no? Yes. You're running against a person, Congressman Jared Moskowitz, who can be a fighter on certain things that I like a politician to fight about. He also is bought and paid for by a PAC. What is the fundamental difference between sending a Democrat like Congressman Moskowitz to Congress and sending a Democrat like you to Congress? There's no conflict of interest when it comes to what I'm legislating on or who I'm fighting for in Congress. I'm not taking any corporate PAC money and I'm not going in there to trade stocks as a sitting member of Congress.

17:11So when I'm fighting for lowering the cost of living and for universal programs, there's no ulterior motive that's gonna get in the way of me pursuing these policies with full-throated activism. This is why I'm fighting for Medicare for All. He co-sponsored Medicare for All only after I started campaigning against him. This is why I'm fighting for universal child care and paid family and medical leave. I'm fighting for public ownership of utilities when he's taken tens of thousands of dollars from Florida Power and Light that's raised rates on Floridians by$7 billion. Certainly when it comes to AIPAC and the hundreds of thousands of dollars that he's accepted, I'm fighting to end U.S.

17:46military aid to Israel and not distinguishing between so-called offensive and defensive weaponry that's going towards a government that's committing a genocide. This is one of the clearest differences because money in politics affects every other issue that we talk about. It all stems from who is funding your campaign. And I'm very proud to be running a campaign with nearly 20 ,000 unique individual donors. And this is the power of the grassroots. And this is, I think, what the American people want to see. We've got an opportunity to build a new political coalition in this country on the basis of anti-corruption and standing up to the billionaire class.

18:19And I think the Democratic Party needs to finally decide whose side it's fighting on. I've voted for Congressman Moskowitz in the past, but I've been severely let down by his leadership and efforts like joining Doge or voting for the Lake and Riley Act. I mean, these have been policies that have directly harmed our community and communities across the country. And I think we we can do a lot better. You know, I like your evolution there because mine is very similar. I voted for a lot of politicians like Moskowitz. But when we face the reality that Donald Trump was elected a second time and that Democrats failed, both the Biden administration, Congress and Senate failed to stop him, they failed to stop fascism.

19:00It calls for an internal autopsy. Now the DNC was supposed to do one and release it. We all know they dithered and botched that. So I think we, the people, are doing our own autopsy, that the people who are taking money from the same donors that are funding fascism, like Moskowitz is, AIPAC gave Trump in 2024 over$200 million, almost as much as Elon Musk did, that they're just the same prostitutes that these MAGA men are. And it's very painful to think that we've all voted for a lot of people that incubated this, but we have to take our party back to that of FDR. We have to take the Democratic Party back.

19:43Now, they are claiming, the establishment, that the progressive flank is trying to take over the Democratic Party. I'm sure you've heard James Carville from his deathbed, the optics of that for the DNC. not very good, FYI, claiming that the progressives are trying to take the party back. My argument, Oliver, is that these corporatists took the party away and they started servicing a lot of the same corporations that also service MAGA. And they're all engaged in this pimps and hoes coalition. And we need to take the party back to where government works for the people and not for these corporations.

20:19Final thoughts and tell my listeners how they can support you, because I'm sure you're up against a lot of money, and how they can follow you on social media and send you some money. Yeah, we've got to restore the mid 20th century when we had the New Deal coalition in Congress that was having no recessions, no economic crashes, 50 years of prosperity. And then Democrats made this compromise that they were going to start taking corporate PAC money. And that's when it all started to unravel. So people that are looking for a Democratic Party that is going to fight for bold universal programs like Medicare for all universal child care and paid family and medical leave.

20:59That's what you'll find in our campaign. And if you want to learn more, you can visit our website, www.oliverforcongress.com slash donate. Please chip in some money. We've had OpenAI, Palantir, and Centrist New Democrat majority backed by Wall Street money invest$650 ,000 in Super PAC ads in this district in the final weeks of this race. So we're running a 100 % grassroots funded campaign without APAC, AI, crypto, or any other corrupt special interests. So we need the donations. And you can also sign up to volunteer. You can find us on social media on our website, OliverForCongress.com. Oliver, I think a great campaign strategy for you is to say, judge me by the people who are spending money against me, because it sounds like all of the evil fuckers that support Trump don't want you to win.

21:43And that's enough for me. All right. Thank you so much. I wish you the best of luck. I hope the next time we talk, we are discussing your victory. Likewise. Thank you so much, Jennifer.

22:28Thank you. Price and coverage match limited by state law.
