0:02Angie Sullivan:So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gay, triots, they triots, black, triots, brown, triots. We love you. And all of the triple Trumpers can do what pumps? All right, pumps. What have you had it with? Okay. This has been happening for the last two weeks and I've had it, had it, had it. So I have donated to democratic candidates in different states, obviously. And so I get all these text messages and I even sent you one like six months ago. It was check. Hi, it's Chuck Schumer. And I was like, I'm out. Stop. Don't text. So in my unknown texts, I'm getting literally yesterday, 40 unknown numbers texting.

0:50This has been happening day after day after day. It started with like 10 and 15. I've been doing stop, stop. Well, as I'm doing stop, I keep getting all these other texts. I hit unsubscribe, stop, whatever. Then I get a confirmation text that I've unsubscribed, but it keeps happening because we went off the air for like 10 minutes and my phone filled up with 15 more. Who was sending me all these. I mean, I hated to do it, but I stopped AOC because I was just like, I have to stop everyone.

1:26Angie Sullivan:You know, there's two issues here. Number one, the, when you tell somebody you don't want to get text anymore and they confirm that they're not going to text you anymore, they're already violating your boundary you drew. So that's number one. Number two, This is why we need publicly funded campaigns. Yeah. Because we have our politicians that in order to even compete with what these Republicans are bringing in from these oligarchs who are funding fascism, they have to hit up people like us and the everyday working class American to get 20 bucks, five bucks, 100 bucks. and they have to get massive amounts of those to even be able to come to the table.

2:13Angie Sullivan:And Zoran did this really well as he ran against all of the corporate money. And so it's really a shame that even when you look at presidential campaigns, they have to raise over a billion dollars. And furthermore, this is something that you don't know. If you're an American, it's just all you know. We're always in like a permanent campaign situation. So I think two things need to change if we ever get Trump out. Number one, we need publicly funded campaigns where each candidate gets the same amount of money. That's it. Do not let corporations donate. Don't take money from people. Get all the all the private, public, all of it, all of the corporate money out of it.

2:56Angie Sullivan:And then we need only like a month or six weeks of campaigning. It's too long. No, I agree. From now until the actual midterms and how it started like a year ago, it's too much. And then I think that exacerbates a human being's desire to just tune it out and be like, I don't care. Yeah, we're too far gone. Isn't it the UK that's 90 days? They call an election and it's 90 days later? I don't, I don't, I don't, I think ours is all day long. I think ours is extraordinarily like long and the amount of money that has to be raised and in Europe, the actual times that people can, can campaign as much shorter and it's publicly funded and the public funding would just be a game changer.

3:48Total game changer. Then I wouldn't see all these ridiculous ads on my TV every five minutes.

3:53Angie Sullivan:Yeah. And then it's like, and then you feel like, Oh, I need to hear about all these corporations given all this money. And you think, okay, well, I need to give to this person because they need these small dollar donations and it's going to make a difference. And it does, it really does. But then you get, then your number gets put on the list and then they all start coming after you. Yeah, no, it's crazy. All right. I've had it with mine is non-political. I have had it with walking down the street in New York. And there's a person in front of me that is a slow walker. Nobody on either side of them.

4:28Angie Sullivan:So I'm a very fast walker. Very. So I think, okay, I'm going to pass this person on the right. And as I start to weave, the person in front of me weaves. So I'm like, oh, okay, they're going this way too. So then I go, I'm going to go to the left. And then they weave back to the left. and you know what the culprit is? What? Cell phone. Oh, yeah. They're on their cell phone. They're like, they're walking while texting or walking while scrolling, which creates a walking drunk effect. Drunk person. And I can't get around them. And I just think that there needs to be more structure on the sidewalks, a fast lane, a slow lane.

5:12Angie Sullivan:I don't think people that all want to walk slow together should be able to be right next to each other. I think they should be like single file doing that. And I know it might be awkward for their conversation, but I can't. There was a lady today where I was like weaving and I finally was just like, I'm passing you on your left. Of course, her earphones were in. She had no clue where she was, what she was doing. You can't even say, excuse me, I'm passing on your left because they have the earphones in. so it's a huge problem I've been a victim of it here's the thing I've also been the person that's talking on their cell phone and not paying attention and I'm sure if I weave with my car I'm sure I weave when I walk you're the worst the worst I've never been in a car with you where you don't start you're driving down the road and start doing shit with your phone it's terrifying no and first of all I'm not a great driver to begin with I mean I'm not starting out at a 10 out of 10.

6:11And I've really tried to do better with my like voice activated. But as we know, so often the commands I give to my voice activation, my accent's too thick and it doesn't understand.

6:22Angie Sullivan:All right. Welcome to I've had it America's top DEI podcast. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie. All right. Let's check in with Kylie. Hi. Hello. I've got a few reviews from comments from Spotify. And this one is a response to our episode on the wedding crashing that you wanted to do. Oh, yeah. So Ray Dell writes, obsessed with your wedding crashing idea. Here's mine. Get dressed up in pink or lavender colored suit and a super gay tie. Think rainbow, maybe small penises on it, something like that. Then during the whole ceremony, I would cry and get extra loud towards the end when the groom says yes. And when he does, I'd walk out of the church.

7:05For context, I'm gay, Cuban, brown, and a leftist. Yay. And I would do this at the MAGA weddings. Love your show. See, I knew it was like somewhat of a satisfying idea.

7:18Angie Sullivan:Yeah. It's like, if you see the performative wedding shit on Instagram, somebody acting like they're the first people to ever get married ever to ever pick bridesmaids to ever have a bachelorette party all the nauseating shit that sometimes I I'm like what the fuck is this going this is over the top and then I'm 25 weeks deep into something you know on the mother-in-law's page um but to be able to be like dramatic at the people who have dramatic Instagram posts about their wedding to be a guest and be incredibly dramatic there's something about that that just sounds really satisfying to me so I want to thank the reviewer for validating that this sounds fun and fucked up and toxic and that you're in and I support it yeah and it took it to a whole nother level then you were like why is he crying so hard is there a relationship going on what's going on the rumors start flying that will live to the end of time okay another comment we've got is from Laura and she says y 'all are the tits love it and then we've got justin l gibson and he says the only way we heal as a nation is more jaunty i've had it underscore as jennifer tells maga to fist themselves

8:36Angie Sullivan:that's fun stuff i mean god it's you know this for those of you that tune in to this tuesday Thursday podcasts that are new. This is our podcast called I've Had It. It drops Tuesday, Thursday. We try not to be political, but we're of the thought that everything's political. And if we didn't mention the egregious human rights violations, the dismantling of our democracy for idiotic fascists, that it would be like, oh, well, those white ladies, they don't have to talk about politics because it doesn't affect them. So we try to keep it a little lighter over here, but if you want hard-hitting everyday news analysis, where in fact I tell MAGA to go fist themselves, you can subscribe to IHIP News, which are bite-sized news hits that drop two to three times a day.

9:27Angie Sullivan:All right, let's do, this is political, but bashing J.D. Vance. And the reviews are in for J.D. Vance's new book. Let's pop this up. The Daily Beast is reporting J.D. Vance humiliated as he's savaged by early book reviews. Pop this up. The community reviews one star has 93%. And then here are the comments. One star because zero isn't an option. Okay, and then it's clear to those who have already read the book that there's only one reason JD wrote it. And it's not about converting to Catholicism. Pop this up. J.D. Vance wrote a book to convince you his wife doesn't hate him.

10:22Angie Sullivan:And then somebody writes, I got a colonoscopy on Friday. If only that were the least pleasant experience of my last week. But no, that would be when I pulled an all-nighter on Monday reading Communion, J.D. Vance's book. These are the reviews, the book reviews. And then JD spends a lot of time convincing the reader that Usha Vance is totally fine with the decision she's made. Let's pop this up. If the book has one goal, it's to get ahead of the rumors that he ruined Usha's life. As if ruining your wife's life isn't basically a prerequisite to becoming a world leader, Hogan writes. Vance badly wants the reader to know that Usha is totally fine with her choices.

11:07Angie Sullivan:namely quitting her high-powered law job because of his career, because she was never that ambitious to begin with. Imagine that a woman who goes to Ivy League school says she was never ambitious to begin with. Hogan continued, in his exact words, she has, quote, the biggest mismatch between ambition and ability of any person I've ever met. He adds that while in law school, her dream job was creating educational programming for kids, which is A, why most people go to Yale Law School, obviously, and B, suspiciously close to what she does as Second Lady. Vance, 41, also made it clear that Usha, 40, was happy to move to Ohio, loved his conversion to Catholicism at 35, and said that she is the one who wanted another baby after previously saying that she did not.

12:07he's gonna have to write another book to apologize for those quotes that he put in that book what a fucking asshole it makes me hate him even worse I do not believe Usha is googly-eyed crazy about him a his choices b I mean when she met him first of all his name was different I don't know it was like John Day and you know now it's just JD but he's had like three names. So it was a different name. It was different faith. He was a pro-immigrant or pro-immigration guy, wrote for the Law Review about it. That's who she married. And now she's married to a white supremacist that has his head stuck up Donald Trump's ass.

12:49Nobody likes that. Nobody wants that. All right.

12:53Angie Sullivan:So speaking of Usha, let's do a little wellness check. She started a podcast and here's the clip. Remember when the Vance family gave us another thing to make fun of them for last month when Usha Vance started a podcast where she's going to read to children despite the fact it seems like she's just mad or in a hostage situation. Either way, never read to children. I'm here to report that there's like five more episodes and they've only gotten worse. So enjoy. Hello and welcome to Storytime with the Second Lady. My name is Usha advance and I'm so glad yo today to read a story. I' from when I was a kid unt we grow.

13:33I'll see you nex on story time with the sec better and to all of you I'm excited for our next to all of you out there. next story time when we 'l book with another special then I hope you pick up a read at home because when we read, we grow. I'll see you next time right here on Storytime with the Second Lady. Sharing another great book with a special reader soon. Until then, I hope all of

14:05Angie Sullivan:you out there enjoy finding some new favorite books. I've seen enough. For those of you that are listening, she looks like a hostage. She looks like terrorists are standing on the other side of the camera saying, okay, and they have cue cards saying, say this, say this. Here's the thing. I don't know if she is unhappy with JD Vance. She just had another child with him. We always assume, well, what's wrong with this person? What's wrong with that person? And JD Vance didn't just become broken. He's been broken and broken people pick broken people. So Usha Vance, sitting there promoting reading while her husband's administration is dismantling the Department of Education and banning books is just, you know, the irony in that and the hypocrisy in that is just like Melania with her Be Best campaign.

15:03Angie Sullivan:Right. But there's something more nefarious going on. Usha, podcast. Katie Miller, podcast. Baby, baby. They have this they've capitulated to the patriarchy in a way that I don't think Usha was just, you don't go from being like a progressive Democrat and then all of a sudden you're doing that garbage. She had to have been broken to some extent before or insecure about the own color of her skin that caused her to marry J.D. Vance. I'm not buying into that J.D. Vance just broke her. I think that she has autonomy. She lives an incredibly privileged life. She lives on the taxpayer dime. She is willfully choosing to get up and do this every single day.

15:55Angie Sullivan:If she saw things that she was thought were wrong or hypocritical, she could speak out hell. The dominant dominatrix on OnlyFans that big titty Brian, the husband of Christine was in love with, she whistle blew. She whistle blew. When she found out that Big Titty Brian, who said he wanted to be a trans bimbo slut named Crystal, when she found out that Big Titty Brian was married to Kristi Noem, she whistle blew. She whistle blew for democracy. So I'm not one of these women that sits and blames the man for everything that goes wrong in another woman's life because I believe in in the power of women and I believe in feminism and these women that carry water for the patriarchy Usha Vance, Pam Bondi, the wife of Big Titty Brian, Christy Noem, they are they know what they are doing.

16:55Angie Sullivan:These are privileged people that have autonomy. They have choice. And, you know, Usha Vance, I don't know what the deal is, but I don't think so that lauren i am lauren p she's a progressive influencer i had her on the pod she said she thinks they had some frozen embryos and probably we can deduce after the embrace with erica vance and jd vance on stage where erica was dry humping basically jd vance on on stage right after her husband was murdered all over the internet um Usha immediately gets I think JD Vance is so such a prostitute that it's like Usha we need to have a another baby and I don't know if she's just so down the rabbit hole cult cult with him but everyday women are standing up like the um OnlyFans woman.

17:54Angie Sullivan:Unlike Cash Patel's girlfriend who has more patriotism at the ripe old age of 27, the country music sensation, the dominatrix on OnlyFans has shown more patriotism than any Republicans. Period. Honestly, I fault Usha Vance. I fault the women around them because she has an opportunity to stand up for her kids. She has an opportunity to stand up for herself. And she does it. Now, of course, she could be an abused woman i just have seen jd vance run and i just don't think i mean i think i could kick his ass and i've never been in a fight before in my life but i really genuinely think i could fist fight him and win yeah i don't think i don't know if i could because he's quite a bit taller than me you're tall but it would be the only because of the height and fit and fit he's a little bit chunky uh here's the thing I've been the broken person that chose a broken person you know I've made a bad choice in my marriage I'll get it and you grind your heels and you're like I've got to save this for dear life so I get the very human part of it but I I mean like at some point you got to cry and say I'm not doing this anymore and I don't know if she ever will Some people just never do.

19:11Yeah.

19:12Angie Sullivan:And it's a tricky thing because a lot of women do get manipulated and broken and beaten down emotionally over time. And I do think the majority of these men are probably abusers. It's difficult for me to have empathy for the women who are providing their gender as cover for other women to go along with the murdering and human rights violations that they're doing. I mean, I just think Usha Vance, like your parents were fucking immigrants. Your kids are mixed race kids. And your husband defends Nazis in Nazi group chats where they're saying evil shit, the N word, talking, talking about people from, you know, her race as sand, N-I-G-G, you can fill in the rest, just really grotesque stuff.

20:05Angie Sullivan:And JD Vance come out and can't come out and say, I can, I condemn this. And let me give you an example. George Herbert Walker Bush, the smart Bush president, his wife, Barbara Bush famously was pro-choice and she went on Oprah. And she said, I disagree with my husband about this. I have my own opinion. I have my own ideas. I am not president, however. And this was back in the eighties. She was a boomer, you know? And so I don't know if this is just a whole part of the fascist takeover where the women just go along with this too. I don't know. I don't need a psychologist to dissect it all. But you've seen in Republican circles, Barbara Bush, she famously stood up and said she was pro-choice and that she disagreed with George Herbert Walker Bush on the abortion issue.

20:55Yeah,

20:56Angie Sullivan:we're not seeing that in this group of females. All right. We can assume that like, And Usha Vance has fallen prey to all this toxic masculinity and is deferring to it, giving deference to it. But Usha is not the only one. Capitalism is cashing in on the masculinity crisis. Pop this up. Where can I buy a box of fragile masculinity? Man cereal gets blasted online for obvious reasons. In a world where even cereal is too girly, finally man has a solution let's pop this up no it's not a joke launched in 2025 man cereal markets itself as a science-backed breakfast cereal made for men though it's not off limits to anyone women can and do eat it too according to its founders man cereal is high protein high creatine

22:02low carb gluten-free made with no seed oil i mean come on that's like what's his name

22:11Angie Sullivan:rfk jr is obsessed with seed oils and no added sugar as saha writes in an attempt to make a cereal for men. The brand has created something arguably more heinous, Manosphere Cereal. It has exactly the type of advertising listener that you'd expect for targeting the Maha demographic. Let's pop this up. The truck delivering says cereal got its balls back. Man cereal, creatine, high protein keto zero sugar um oh my god it's but here's the thing man cereal is just the latest example of things that exist purely to give men permission to use a normal product like you can literally just go by cheerios here's some others that are focused in on this pop this up we have dude wipes, wet wipes rebranded so men can wipe their ass without feeling weird about it.

23:17Angie Sullivan:Man candles, candles, but now men can have them in their own home. And the scents include New York style pizza, sawdust and fresh cut grass. And then we have the man size Kleenex, tissues rebranded as big and strong for men's noses man crates regular gift boxes that come in a wooden crate you open with a crowbar because wrapping paper is emasculating and brose

24:01Angie Sullivan:rosé is rosé wine relabeled so men could drink pink without a crisis oh god i wonder if jesse waters has a bunch of this because you know he's like big on who's you know you men don't eat ice screen like that. Men don't cross their legs. Here's the thing. I have noticed coming across my social media, a lot of these, and I can't, and I'm so mad at myself. I didn't write it down, but it was like a branded bro, something that you can just buy every day. And I just thought that is pathetic. It is fucking pathetic on every front that this is happening. And I hope they all go bankrupt. So I believe I'm right about this.

24:42Angie Sullivan:I think that women are the buyers or the purchasers of these types of things in households. And then I would say when you get to the men category, gay men are better consumers, better for the economy than straight men by far. So this Pride Month, I'm calling for a boycott on all of those items from all of the gay treads, patriots, they treads, black treads, brown treads. Obviously we would never buy those, but I do. I think that they will probably all end up going bankrupt, but then the creatine and the wellness industry shit is like bananas. I mean, it's a multi, multi, multi-billion dollar industry.

25:29Angie Sullivan:And my mother told me something a long, long time ago. So, you know, before there was GLP ones, there were always like, you know, people on all of these, like, no carb diet, no this diet, no that diet. My mother taught us at a very young age, like moderation, eating in moderation. So fortunately, because she taught me that I've never had to struggle with my weight, but she would talk about people that would do these crash diets. And then my mother would say, well, you know, and then they just balloon right back up again in her voice. But she said something that has always stuck with me. She said, if you could bottle up what exercise does for your body and put it on a shelf, it would fly off.

26:09Angie Sullivan:And so I think people are always looking for a quick fix instead of just living a lifestyle. And our health care system enables this type of non-proactive style living. We are reactive to everything where in Europe and other places, walking, wellness checks, moderation and food is just a part of the lifestyle. In America, it's all gas, gas, gas. And then inevitably for Americans, if there's something that can make you muscular faster, make you skinny faster, make you this faster, make you that faster, everybody wants to buy it up. And we have the capitalism prohibits us from actually teaching people and nurturing a culture and a society where people learn to live a healthy lifestyle, in my opinion.

27:05No, I agree with that because, you know, I've struggled with my weight and I've did the apple cider vinegar diet, you know, all I've done all the things. So I completely get that. If I would have started as a young person, like exercising every day, eating a certain amount of calories, like paying attention to it, being aware of it. But it's not part of the. It's not culture. Yeah, no, it's not. And I'll tell you what, I'm so glad we started talking about wellness because this has been, I've been dying to bring this up to you and I keep forgetting. So this is perfect. So in Oklahoma City, there are two new places that are IV bars, which I thought IV bars where you got hammered, you went and got an IV for like fluids to help with the hangover.

27:55That's what I always thought they were. But these are like, you can get all these different. So I pull up to a place and I noticed next to it, there's an IV bar for every, so now we've taken supplements, like pill supplements, and now we've escalated it to, you have to go to an IV bar to get these supplements. And I was just like, oh my God, it's two of them. It's a racket and all of that man branded stuff is just preying on the insecurity of men that are like, these little tissues are gay.
