Sydney Sweeney Strikes Out

27:36But it just, it struck me their comments when I was reading what they were saying and how this affects them.

27:42Angie Sullivan:It just. So I have some of those. Let me, let me get to those. Australian four-time Olympic swimmer, Arianne Titmuss, posted a response to the campaign on her Instagram stories. Not only is this a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft, but every woman who enjoys sports for what it really is. Teamwork, friendship, dedication, excellence, unity, the list goes on. Our good friend, Renee Stubbs, six-time Grand Slam champion, says the following, at Sydney Sweeney, this is so pathetic. What a slap in the face to all the amazing true female athletes out there.

28:22Angie Sullivan:And American gymnast Gracie Kramer started a trend by posting the following video on her Instagram, play the clip. So it says, I don't know what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what a woman in sports looks like. And so it's showing, and she started this trend where woman after woman after woman who is an athlete who has to fight the inherent sexism and everything, but it's very, very prevalent in sports. And then you have a MAGA movement that is trying to co-opt women's sports with their transphobia. And it's just insane. And for those listening, the video that I just showed you shows a montage of her tumbling and more female athletes have followed Kramer's lead, posting videos of themselves doing something similar.

29:13Angie Sullivan:And then after all of this backlash, Sydney Sweeney posted these images on her Instagram. And these are images of athletes that are naked on ESPN. So we have Serena Williams and other athletes, some of the soccer, Megan Rapinoe and some other people. And so she's like basically saying, look at all these naked people. The difference, Sidney Sweeney, is that these people are real athletes. sheets um to me these are not sexual sexual photos hers is like she's straddling for those of you that are listening she's full-blown dick riding a basketball goal yeah i mean every single position she's in she's basically saying if you bet on sports and you get high off of it then beat off to me i mean it's just this is like the low information but i want to just say this i typically like this kind of stuff i really don't give that big of a shit about because i would rather just support these athletes um and just pay sydney sweeney no mind at all because she did that um i i have good genes that kind of eugenic stuff that trumps and all of them talks about time and time again sydney sweeney if somebody shows you who they are believe them Sydney Sweeney is a MAGA thumper.

30:44Angie Sullivan:She somehow thinks that she's different or special. Some of these women, I think, like it that they are so sexualized by. And that's fine. Do it. I don't give a shit. But my response to all of this is sometimes I don't even like giving that stuff that much attention. Number one, these gambling sites are just complete degeneracy. um sydney sweeney is is somebody who the maga movement does not see as human she is a transactional spank bank material and if she's fine with that then you live with that that's completely fine but um equating what i have a problem with is her somehow with this false equivalency that her ad is the same as serena williams or these soccer players which is utter bullshit no i completely agree.

31:31And I just, I want to, I just, this always pops in my head when we talk about MAGA and women's sports. Do not forget the architects of project 2025 that we are currently being taken over by. They don't just want trans athletes out of sports. They want women out of sports. When you go to the next phase of project 2025, I can't remember if it's 30 project 30 or project 27. I don't know. Don't quote me on the project that it is same architects. They want women out of sports and they want them to be in fitness. They want to change. We don't need women in sports. We need them in fitness. So be careful what you wish for a Republican female voter because you just might get it.

32:13Angie Sullivan:All right. And then we have Americans who are speaking truth to power about the genocide that Israel has conducted in Gaza are continued to be silenced and called bigots for standing up for the poorest, most marginalized, most abused community on the planet right now. McLemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour. Pop this up. McLemore has been dropped from the rest of Ed Sheeran's tour following his onstage Free Palestine statements, Rolling Stone reports. As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran's U.S. Loop tour, We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with McLemore in the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans.

33:05Angie Sullivan:After discussion with stakeholders, McLemore will not be performing. And Ed Sheeran did this chickenship move where he said, what you said hurt a lot of people. And I just think that's just ridiculous. I mean, they tried to do this with Mark Ruffalo. Yep. They've tried to do this with Hassan Piker. They've tried to do this with AOC. They've tried to do this with us to a much smaller extent. Calling out a genocide, calling out the murder of children does not make you a bigot. If anything, the bigotry is the government that thinks that they can do all of these things and then weaponize anti-Semitism to their own endgame.

33:50Angie Sullivan:And I want to point out that the billionaire Robert Kraft, who did a bunch of prostitute stuff. Rub and tug. Yeah. Florida Massage Parlor. Happy ending stuff. Billionaire Robert Kraft told Ed Sheeran that he refused to let McLemore perform at the Gillette Stadium. McLemore alleged that Kraft also rallied other stadium owners to issue the same ultimatum. If McLemore remained in the lineup, the venues would block the courts entirely. And here is Macklemore's speech. Play the clip. To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you.

34:40my message is for peace love for all human beings to be treated with dignity respect and equality so i say free palestine i say free lebanon i say free cuba i say free congo free sudan free all people in america living in fear over this terrorist organization ice

35:05Angie Sullivan:so i mean this is the same shit that they're going to continue to do and do and do this is the same movement that is letting elon musk who did back-to-back sick hiles retweets non-stop all day every day full-blown nazis that are holocaust deniers and all sorts of crazy shit these are the same concert venues that allowed kanye west to perform his hit song um heil hitler and so the hypocrisy is really rich the hypocrisy is disgusting and dangerous and i just want to say i stand with macklemore completely um on this entire thing um and i i hope i hope that people do not go to ed sheeran's concert i feel like when people are resisting this shit israel the israeli government the american government they should be celebrated they should be supported.

36:01Angie Sullivan:But if you look online right now in the hellscape that is Twitter, or if you watch corporate news in that fucking hellscape, their number one pounding point, Aslan Piker. Shut up. My God, he can criticize Israel all he wants to. Shut up about it. I mean, they're going on like six months of it. Now they're going to go on Macklemore. And they are trying to silence people that are criticizing a murderous terrorist government that is Israel. And I, as an American, I want other people to criticize the shit out of my government because it's warranted. So I do not understand anybody who thinks that it's wrong for us to criticize Israel.

36:51Angie Sullivan:Like who the fuck do they think they are? that every other thing on the planet is open to criticism. I am, you are, this podcast is. There's comment sections, except for Israel. Come on, it's just not even realistic. We get to criticize it all day, every day. It's just, I'm so fed up with it. I am too. And I will just tell you that Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, he said in a statement, he could not allow hate speech. And I was like, hate speech? So I got up a handy dandy definition of hate speech. And this is what it is. Any form of communication that attacks insults or demeans a person based on protected characteristics like race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, which he clearly did not do.

37:40That just never happened in all of the videos. It never happened. But you have the ESPN low information, just sports voter that's going to be like, what's Macklemore doing? Same free Palestine. If it triggers you so much that somebody is saying everybody deserves equal rights and free Palestine, if that triggers you, you should be even more triggered by the action that kills people. But they're not. They're concerned about the speech. They're not concerned about the actions.

38:13Angie Sullivan:These are the same people that gave Elon Musk a pass for all of this. They have zero credibility. And so because these people have money, they're able to try to control the narratives. And so the Ellisons did this with Mark Ruffalo. And they continue to conflate these two things. And it's just, I agree with you. If you're triggered by the phrase free Palestine, you need to look inward. I mean, we've all seen the aerial footage of Palestine. I mean, it's for what is left there. Yes, free them. Enough. My God. And then when you get to like Ben Gavir and Smotrich and all of these others, it just it disgusts me to my core that that that this kind of shit is happening and that they let all of the Nazis on the right, the true Jew haters, the true, true Jew haters.

39:14Angie Sullivan:Paul Pass. Call pass. You know why? Because those people will allow them to kill brown-skinned Palestinians. And that's why they'll partner with them in the short term on this and not call it out. Because they need an unprincipled government, which they have in the Trump regime. It's gross.

40:29Angie Sullivan:See terms. All right. Speaking of unprincipled, let's move along to J.D. Vance. Our little smoky eyed sociopath, America's top prostitute, necked out Melania Trump in a surprise to the entire country. He is following in Katie Miller's footsteps of her hit podcast, as we like to refer to it here, Fireside Chats with Nazis. Because as you are all well aware, Stephen Miller is a Nazi Jew of the highest, highest order. and she did a entire podcast episode on Grey's Anatomy. It was triggered that they had a lesbian, a black person, you know, all sorts of things that would trigger a person married to Stephen Miller.

41:15Angie Sullivan:And in an extreme effort to not realize what you have to do that evening, I would imagine you would binge watch Grey's Anatomy and make a punch list. And I'm sorry, honey, I'm going after the woke Grey's Anatomy I'm not going to be able to put out tonight. So anyway, Vance has been watching Emily in Paris and has some stuff to say. Play the clip. ...mine, criticize the masterwork of American television called Emily in Paris. And so let me give you my meta-analysis of Emily in Paris and why it's genius. The basic idea, if you're just watching it superficially is Italy in Paris is about this sort of bubbly girl who goes to Paris and has a cool job and has great experiences and drinks fine wine.

42:01It does all the things that you would do in Paris. But what it's actually is, it is a massive cultural criticism of millennial decision-making. She goes to Paris and it's obvious to everybody watching the show that she should end up with the French chef. She should marry this guy. They should start a family, Whether in Paris or America, they should build a life together. That's what they should be doing. And by the same token, the French chef should obviously end up with her, not the various craziest people that bump in and out of his life. And yet what both of them do is they make a series of absurd, sometimes hilarious, sometimes not particularly believable mistakes where she ends up with a bunch of random people or focus on her job.

42:46He ends up with a bunch of random people or focus on his job. And it's like obvious. Okay, I've heard enough.

42:51Angie Sullivan:I need to send a message to President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Fireside Chat with Nazi host Katie Miller. Mr. President, Hannibal Lecter is fiction. It's not real. there's no mass insane asylum with Hannibal Lecter frying up people and eating them it's not real I know sometimes when you watch a movie the acting is so good that you think like forever Anthony Hopkins is Hannibal Lecter because that's how good the acting was it's not real you don't talk about it you don't have to worry about it now katie you have agency and autonomy over grace anatomy if you don't like gay people which we know you don't you don't like women which is weird because you are one have a daughter um you don't like uh black people which we know we we we get it we we're all picking up what y 'all are putting down you don't have to watch Grey's Anatomy and Little Smokey Emily in Paris is not real it's not about a MAGA plot that should end up that she and the French guy traditionally marry and have traditional babies and join MAGA.

44:21Angie Sullivan:The show would be a failure. Nobody would make any money. It would be a complete disaster. It's more about a culture clash. It's fun. It's lighthearted. But what's interesting to me is I know a lot of straight guys. I do a lot. I was going to say. I've never heard any of them have this sort of analysis on Emily in Paris. ever. I can't get Josh Welch to watch it. Does Josh watch Emily in Paris? Fuck no, he won't watch Emily in Paris. No, he thinks it's stupid. I like Emily in Paris. I enjoy it. I can binge watch it in a day. It's completely junky of me, but I enjoy it when it comes out. Hit after hit after hit.

45:11Angie Sullivan:The fact that he doesn't understand the plot and the story arc of the sexual tension of them together and back together and how that drags on more seasons. It's just emblematic of how stupid these people are. But again, he has agency as well. He could go watch Little House on the Prairie reruns, but he chooses to watch this. Did you know MAGA is mad at the new, I haven't watched the Little House on the Prairie reboot, but it came back on Netflix. They've rebooted it. MAGA, you would think that would be their bread and butter show. They're mad about it because it talks, it shows racism. because that's what happened.

45:48That's how it was. They're mad about it. Wait. They're mad at the racism? They're mad at the show. Like, don't watch that show because it shows. I mean, it's Little House on the Prairie times. Racism is rampant. Discrimination, rampant. And they're mad at the racism? They're mad that it's in the show. Well, isn't that a good thing that they're mad at racism? No, no, no, no. They're mad that it's being portrayed. It triggers them. because they're having to look at their behavior, at the behavior of the people that are white and they should, they think it should not be in the show. Oh, I see.

46:25Angie Sullivan:I see. Yeah. It almost made me want to watch it, but I'm not going to, but still they're mad about it. You don't have to watch these shows. No. And it goes back to the broader point. If you don't want to see it depicted because you find it offensive, then you should be offended by the conduct. I, I,

46:47Angie Sullivan:this is this is the problem that when you don't believe in anything then you have to believe in uh tearing down people that have conviction and i have always had a lot of conviction in my life and i have found people that don't have conviction um there's an attack on my character or my belief system and i think that maga has no conviction about anything. These people believe in nothing. So they have to attack the people that do have conviction. They have to attack conviction. But this is even more pedestrian than all of that. These people are attacking fiction. Right. TV shows. I mean, and like, listen, Grey's Anatomy, Silence of the Lambs, and Emily in Paris, these are not things that are going to move the needle culturally big time on on anything at all it's just crazy how they get hung up about these really weird weird things and i would just say this jd vance has no business having had three name changes talking about people's decisions just in that one america's hitler he's talking about imaginary i know i know imaginary decisions yeah it shows how unskilled he is as a politician that he's like the only thing they have is you just got to get married and breed and he's like obviously emily and paris and that french guy should have gotten together and started breeding like me and usha because as the country can see we're so happy top top how you doing that's so weird here's the thing that i need to point out about J.D.

48:34Vance that came out this week or last week is him referring to on the stage immigrants

48:42Angie Sullivan:making the country dirtier. Dirtier. When his in-laws are immigrants, his wife is 100 % Indian. His kids are 50 % Indian. It's a real case study for me. Not Emily in Paris, not that case study, not the Hannibal Lecter case study and not the Grey's Anatomy case study but the case study I'm more interested in is how a father of four kids four kids and husband is actively making the world less safe for his wife and children with a smile on his face that is something that is far more real that we're watching in real time that that is just absolutely fascinating to me i've never the the elon musk and what a deadbeat dad he is in jd vance and what a despicable dad he is having kids of color not condemning racism ever and actually feeding it up is is truly fascinating to me like the message that i see from that is he's resentful of his wife and kids' skin color.

49:56Angie Sullivan:And I don't know if that's true or not. I just don't know what other conclusions to draw that you would pick up your family and throw them under the bus like that. Well, and also that he, it shows you that he values his standing as the vice president and heir apparent to MAGA. He is more interested in being the leader of the racist white supremacy MAGA movement than it is in protecting his children because he's willing to sacrifice them for that. Do you think, do you think if a focus group came and said, okay, Mr. Vice President, we need to sit down. We need to talk to you. We've done some polling and we've had some focus groups and you know, it's not Usha's fault that she's not white.

50:38Angie Sullivan:By the way, listener, J.D. Vance said that. Usha can't help it that she's not white. So let's say that the, that gal over at the bulwark that does all those, Sarah, she does all those focus groups and J.D. Vance hires her and she's, And she's like, here's the deal. You know, they all say they like you, but they don't trust your decision making because you have a brown wife, which that is completely racist, you guys. But we all know this is what the cultists think. But we have a we have an idea. We showed them a picture of you and Erica Kirk together. And if you were to marry Erica Kirk, we think you could be elected.

51:16Angie Sullivan:How fast do you think he would divorce Usha and marry Erica? Point one second. I don't think it'd be a question. I think it'd be like, this is the most politically expedient. And we know, but he said Trump's America's Hitler. Now he's this vice president. He is willing to go all the way for this shit. He's willing to go all the way. Yes. Kelly, I'll say it's the one where she's like completely grabbing his head. Look at that. Which people just don't do. Was this like a month after Charlie Kirk died? Was it? Was this at the? It was at the funeral. You know, she put out. So, I mean, let's just, in closing, let's just review this really quick.

51:54Angie Sullivan:In closing. To sum it up. Let's just review this shit really quick. The biggest red flag for me, because I didn't really know who Erica Kirk was. I knew who Charlie Kirk was. Yeah. So when Charlie Kirk was shot, I mean, it was just, it was really like, I mean, it just sucked. It was horrible. It was horrible. Horrible. Violent death. Horrible, horrible, awful. it's like my god this is so terrible and then the next thing i know within like 48 hours i see this video on my phone like this blonde gal with these long pointy fingernails right here crying and um touching charlie kirk's corpse and posting it on the internet and i thought to quote George W.

52:45Angie Sullivan:Bush here. That's some weird shit. But again, at the time I was just like, that's kind of weird, but I don't know, maybe like, maybe there's something about the turning point thing that I just don't get clearly. And I'm still trying to like grace and all this. And then, you know, then did they roll out that weird Nazi funeral, WWE Nazi funeral. And if people go oh here's jennifer using nazi again go listen to steven miller's speech at the funeral go listen to it go listen to what steven miller said at the megachurch nazi funeral of not charlie kirk and then it just from there it just gets weirder and weirder and she's going out you know on this she's everywhere and then this was some weird shit when she sat down there we go look at her grabbing the back of that look all those rings on her fingers too so uh tammy faye Baker.

53:38Angie Sullivan:She kind of is Tammy Faye-esque for sure. Yeah. But when she sat down with Barry Wise, Kylie, see if you can find this clip. So we can, I'm going to paraphrase right here. I'm going to see if Kylie can find it. And she says, you know, I miss Charlie and Charlie was so great, but, and I don't understand how people can be mean at Charlie, but you know what else I don't understand? I don't understand how anybody can hate Israel. And I'm like, yeah, where did that come from imagine if if if somebody we love i mean that got shot let's say josh something and i was like i just i miss him so much i can't believe this happened and i just don't understand people that you know that that that hate texas everybody be like that's kind of some weird shit it was so contrived and here's the deal i mean i can't do it as good as you but she was like this the whole interview.

54:31Yeah. She does that kind of down look. Here's the clip. It's evil. Charlie and I have always been very clear on our stance. Israel and Jewish people. It's awful.

54:53awful anti-semitism is what what healing factor comes out of hating jewish people what healing factor comes out of hating christians what healing factor comes out hate in general nothing nothing charlie always would say very clearly jew hate was brainwashed he would always say it

55:20Angie Sullivan:This was so weird to me that she's doing like this outreach to this when when Charlie himself at the end of his life was talking about basically did Benjamin Netanyahu know about October 7, which actually has been reported since Charlie was shot that he did know and he did nothing to absolutely stop it. But that shit was so weird to me. Like and I just want to say this, like she doesn't understand Jew hate. She doesn't understand Christian hate. So what I think you have to understand about the whole thing is the Christian Zionist hatred for the Jews is paramount to anybody else's. Because theirs is, you all get to be in Judea and Samaria, okay?

56:05Angie Sullivan:But then you must convert to Christianity. And if you don't convert to Christianity, then you're going to burn in hell forever and ever and ever and be tortured by Satan. And then, you know, you know, all of the Jewish Zionists are like, these Christian Zionists are so fucking stupid that they think the rapture is coming. So the whole thing, they act like it's this super pure alliance between the Christian Zionists and the Jewish Zionists. When it is the biggest user fest I've ever seen in my life, the Christians are using the Jews because they think the Jews need to be in their places in order to all of the signs to be right for Jesus to come and rapture.

56:45Angie Sullivan:And then if they don't convert, then they're going to burn in hell. And then the Jewish Zionists are like, these people are so easy to fucking manipulate. Look at all this money that we're getting funneled over here. Because I think AIPAC are Jewish organizations, but there's also a bunch of Christian organizations that fund an Israel lobby, too, that isn't even in all of that AIPAC money. So that friendship in and of itself is so toxic from the jump. But so many people don't know all this shit. I think Erica Kirk is weird as shit. I get a lot of shit, like when I'm on Paris Morgan or somebody else.

57:19Angie Sullivan:Do you go too hard on Erica Kirk? I'm like, no, I don't. Erica Kirk puts herself out there every day. That would be the equivalent of me saying, you know, people are going too hard on me. She is not centering anything that is helpful for anybody. Nothing. No. And she's sitting there talking about evil and hate. I mean, turn on a Turning Point podcast or whatever the show. I don't know how they send it, but it's all hate, discrimination, shaming, fear mongering. I mean, that's just their bread and butter. So it's just what's good for the goose is good for the gander kind of thing. But let me tell you what, every time I think of Erica Kirk right after Charlie Kirk, I think of that same video.

58:01I found it so often. The corpse is taking the video. Why? How did it get on the internet? Who came up with the idea? Was it like, hey, get me a pick? because it was so planned i just don't understand that i thought it was the weirdest thing that was

58:16Angie Sullivan:the weirdest shit so everything that happened after that i was just like okay this makes sense because this is the woman like if your husband was brutally shot like that and you have a moment with their body you don't that's not something you film and then post on the internet and that's some really weird shit and that was my first introduction to erica kirk was that video i I did not know who she was. I knew that Charlie Kirk was married. I didn't really care. But that was my first introduction to Erica Kirk. And then a lot of people dove into it. And she's always been kind of like she was on, I don't know, some shows.

58:54Angie Sullivan:And she's just a really weird person. And her obsession with Israel is so weird. You see what Tina's Ellen says? It's just about Charlie's real stance on it. I just find it, I find the whole thing very suspect. If my husband was shot by a gun, you would hear me talking about gun violence. 24-7. Yeah. Kind of like when Ronald Reagan was shot. Not Ronald Reagan, his Secret Service agent, Brady. And then his wife got the Brady bill passed. All right. That's some pretty uplifting stuff.
