Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lara Trump’s “Woke” Moment and Cringeworthy Singing

• Lara Trump’s Podcast Appearance: Kylie introduces a clip of Lara Trump on Katie Miller’s podcast, where Lara awkwardly proclaims tolerance:

  “...as long as whatever you're doing isn't harming anyone else, I'm all about you doing it.”
  [01:21]

• Hosts' Reactions:
  • Jennifer rips into Lara, calling out the hypocrisy of representing a family who routinely “marginalize[s] people hand over fist.”

    “Do not sit there and act like you give a flying because you allow this family to marginalize people hand over fist. ... Of all the Trumps, she's the one that you consistently hear talking about her political ambitions.” [01:41–02:22]

  • Ryan expresses disappointment at Lara’s queer friends:

    “I'm arguably even more upset with the gay people who are friends with her.” [02:25]

• Lara’s Singing Talent?:
  • The group listens to a clip of Lara’s attempt at “I Won’t Back Down,” discussing Tom Petty’s cease and desist, and lambasting Lara’s musical ambitions:

    “She is not a good singer. And she embarrasses herself. That is embarrassing. Like, auto tune. I could do better than that.” — Jennifer [03:13–03:48]

  • Kylie jokes that everyone should ask Lara to sing live to keep exposing her lack of talent.

Notable Banter

• “Thank God. I'm over that whole deal... Never realizing and telling them the truth that you suck at singing. You shouldn't be singing.” — Host [03:13]

2. Trump’s Iran War Causes a Diet Coke Crisis

• Aluminum Shortage: Kylie highlights headlines that Trump’s war in Iran is causing global Diet Coke shortages due to 9% of the world’s aluminum passing through Hormuz.

  “One that's a little bit unexpected... Trump's war in Iran is causing a Diet Coke shortage.” — Kylie [04:41]

• Personal Impact?:
  • Ryan muses that a Diet Coke shortage could be the only war consequence Trump really cares about.
  • The hosts lay into the irony, noting that Trump’s unhealthy habits might be the only thing at risk.

• Trump’s Diet Myths:
  • They mock Trump’s previous claim that Diet Coke “kills the cancer cells” in his body.

    “He, Trump thinks that it kills weeds in your yard, so it probably kills cancer.” — Host [06:29]

• Broader Impact:
  • They point out Americans’ attachment to aluminum-can Diet Coke and the real world fallout of Trump’s foreign policy—how everyday shortages can sway public sentiment more than macroeconomic stats.

Notable Quotes

• “People having to pay their daily living expenses on a credit card because they can't afford it. Nobody wants to hear about your billion dollar ballroom.” — Host [18:45]

4. Lauren Boebert: Florida Roots, Hypocrisy, and New Lows

• Boebert’s Interview: Real America’s Voice features Boebert blaming “legal immigration” and throwing in anti-Indian rhetoric—but claims not to be racist.

  “I'm not a xenophobe... but...the legal immigration, I would argue is almost worse than the illegal immigration because we have one third of all the Indians and I'm not even anti Indian.” — Lauren Boebert [Clip] [12:34]

  • Panel calls out her open racism and hypocrisy, especially after her Beetlejuice scandal.

    “I'm not throwing stones at that. I vape in productions. I don't get caught. I hold it in. I don't blow the smoke. Like, girl, have some discretion at least, right?” — Host [14:09]

5. Trump’s Billion Dollar White House Ballroom (And Public Outrage)

• Poll Shows More Believe in Ghosts than Support Ballroom: New polling reveals only 28% of Americans favor Trump’s planned White House ballroom—less than the number who believe in ghosts (39%) or telepathy (29%). [16:28]

  “More Americans believe in ghosts and slightly more, though within the margin of error, believe in telepathy. And I will note that our cameraman right now is laughing like nobody's business.” — News Clip [16:28]

• Host Critique:
  • Hosts decry Trump’s disregard for regular Americans amid economic hardship: job losses, credit card debt, GDP slowdown.
  • They highlight contradictions in Trump’s claims of private funding, with the Senate now adding $1 billion in public money.
  • Prediction markets are betting whether the ballroom will even be finished before 2030 or Trump leaves office.
• ‘If I Were President’: Jennifer rants that any new president should raze Trump projects and instead build a “wall of shame” to memorialize the corruption.

Notable Quote

“If I am the new president in 2028, the first thing I do is tear down anything Trump did, like, start to finish... the only thing that would remind anyone of Trump [would be] the museum I would create in his honor about the corruption and the criming.” — Host [19:18]

[Host]

It's Millennial Day on IHIP News. I have the most gorgeous producers in the history of podcasting here. Kylie and Ryan. And Ryan and Kylie are going to talk about the news with this. I don't know what they're going to tell me, so I'm excited to find out.

[Kylie]

Okay, so Ryan prepared an amazing episode and I'll queue up this first one. So Lara Trump, who's married to Dumber, who openly on record said she only got with him. She went on a pity date with him. Didn't expect it to go anywhere. Okay.

[Host]

But honest at least.

[Kylie]

So she went on Katie Miller's podcast and here's a clip.

[Ad Read Announcer]

So many gay friends. And you know I'm into all of that. I'm totally fine with love who you love. And I'm generally a person who believes that as long as whatever you're doing isn't harming anyone else, I'm all about you doing it.

[Kylie]

All right. Pumps.

[Host]

Okay, number one, did anybody see Katie Miller's face in that? It looked like she was straining out the biggest shit of her life. She was so mad. She's like, no, bitch, we hate everybody. That's not us. When did you not get the memo? Lara Trump. You, Lara. The worst singer I've ever heard. Enough. Do not sit there and act like you give a flying because you allow this family to marginalize people hand over fist. So I. I can't take it enough. She. Here's the deal. Of all the Trumps, she's the one that you consistently hear talking about her political ambitions.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Even imagine.

[Ryan]

I mean, I'm arguably even more upset with the gay people who are friends with her.

[Host]

Agree.

[Ryan]

Total betrayal to your community also pumps you. You brought up that she is a singer and we do have a clip of that. Kylie.

[Host]

She makes music videos too.

[Kylie]

We do. Here she is.

[Host]

You have to sing us the line here on Aaron. Come on. I'll do my. I'll do my best without any music or anything.

[Kylie]

Okay, Well, I won't back down.

[Host]

Okay. Number one, Tom Petty's estate has, yes, been very specific and I think even filed a lawsuit against her singing this song.

[Kylie]

Yeah. There's a cease and desist and she's going against it.

[Host]

She's going against it here. Okay, here's the deal. I have been to my children's music programs. Thank God. I'm over that whole deal. But what happens is these parents tell their children, you're a great singer, you're such a good singer. Never realizing and telling them the truth that you suck at singing. You shouldn't be singing. Lar Trump. Nobody's ever told her the real story. She is not a good singer. And she embarrasses herself. That is embarrassing. Like auto tune. I could do better than that. And I am a horrible singer.

[Kylie]

I think shout out to that host for asking her to do that. And I think that everyone needs to keep asking her to sing on air because she's going to do it.

[Host]

She's hot stuff.

[Ryan]

I agree. I think that I would rather have her doing that than run for office, though. 100%. As you were saying, when Thom Tillis announced that he was retiring in North Carolina, Trump came out and said that he thought that she would be the best person to replace him. Ultimately, she decided not to run, but she definitely is going to be one of the Trumps that's going to run for office in the future.

[Kylie]

You know what brings me a little bit of joy? Dumber Eric is at home having to listen to that soundtrack all the time.

[Ryan]

That's probably why he probably loves it.

[Kylie]

He's lost some brain cells.

[Host]

Well, he didn't have that many to lose.

[Kylie]

No, he didn't. Okay. Up next, Trump's running into quite an issue with the Iran war. One that's a little bit unexpected. So headquarters is reporting new reporting reveals Trump's war in Iran is causing a diet coke shortage. 9% of the world's aluminum supply transits through the street of Hormuz. And this is a man that has a button on the Resolute desk where he gets at least 12 Diet Cokes delivered to him on a silver plate.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, this is going to be a problem for Trump.

[Kylie]

Yes.

[Ryan]

You always see him eating, drinking his Diet Coke with his McDonald's. And, you know, this might be something that actually gets him to care about the war.

[Kylie]

I have a. This is a big issue because the last thing we need is this motherfucker getting healthier. So, like, we do not want to cut off the supply.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't think.

[Host]

I don't think he trains getting healthier.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And I don't think he would transition to any sort of healthier alternative. I think maybe it would be like a sugar soda, which, you know, that might be better.

[Host]

He glazed a man that would see the Coca Cola factory for himself in his own personal supply. So this will not affect him because he never is affected by his policies. He thought groceries. He invented that word during the campaign. He was. It was. He was marveling at it. But here's the thing. It's the little things like this that the average person, when you tell them, oh, the economy is great. I can't get a Diet Coke.

[Kylie]

Like, hello, people pissed 100% isn't. Didn't Trump just recently say, Diet Coke kills the cancer cells in his body?

[Host]

Yes, yes, he did say that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Got on with yes, dumb on his podcast and was saying how he, Trump thinks that it kills weeds in your yard, so it probably kills cancer. And my thought was if the President United States was telling me that I would never tell anyone, that information would. Could not be tortured out of me. And those two think it's the funniest thing they've ever heard. Yeah.

[Kylie]

Every time Dr. Oz or RFK Jr spills something about Trump's habits, it is some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life.

[Host]

It's just insane.

[Ryan]

And they don't even realize how much of, like, an indictment it is on them either for listening to this and then telling the public.

[Host]

Right? Oh, yeah, Diet Coke kills cancer. It's like bleaching your veins, like, okay,

[Kylie]

okay, here's a little bit more on this. For true fans of Diet Coke, soda is a sacrament, and reverence comes with strict parameters. The fountain version served at McDonald's is thought to represent the peak of the form. But given the choice between plastic glass and metal vessels, conventional wisdom dictates that Diet Coke tastes best in aluminum cans. In recent weeks, those cans have reportedly been disappearing from shelves across India because the country's Diet Coke comes only in aluminum can form.

[Host]

Here's the deal. I'm one of those people that I like to drink soda right out of the can. I mean, I do like a fountain too, but I get the whole aluminum thing. And Trump, you never hear him talking about a fountain Coke. It's always aluminum.

[Ryan]

No, I mean, that's top notch reporting from the Atlantic, because I I mean, for me, like a McDonald's fountain, soda is top tier. And then glass bottle, aluminum can, plastic bottle. But you know, plastic's the one. It's not like we're going out and getting glass bottles of Diet Coke. So, you know, for the everyday, the aluminum can is the best Diet Coke alternative.

[Kylie]

I would argue this, this is something like you were saying. Pumps like Oklahoma will freak out about shit like this. They're like, we're the least healthy country or state in the country.

[Host]

Right.

[Kylie]

So I think this will hit.

[Host]

Yeah, they'll, they'll get it. That and gas.

[Kylie]

Yeah. All right, Ryan, what's next?

[Ryan]

Okay, next we have Trump fielding a question from Marjorie Taylor Greene's fiance in the Oval Office earlier this week.

[Host]

Okay, I love this. I'm curious. I don't love his girlfriend too much. I won't tell you under the. But I like him and I've always liked him. It's great that he hasn't changed. Brian, I think his.

[Ryan]

So his name is Brian Glenn. He's a reporter for real America's Voice News. And he made an announcement, he made an announcement a couple days ago. He's stepping away following Trump saying the same in the Oval Office. And this was his quote. This has been really the only life I've known, you know, chasing the news, being kind of the MAGA mouthpiece, if you will, for the Trump America first agenda. But this past Sunday, sitting at home in Georgia, I decided that it's time to, and I'll use an MMA reference, it's time to leave the gloves in the ring and walk away. So I'm just wondering, did this spur some sort of fight between him and Marjorie? Because, you know, he's been working there for I think something like 10, 20 years. And Trump asked him this, this question and like sort of humiliates him in the Oval Office. And now suddenly he's stepping away.

[Host]

I read a quote that same thing.

[Kylie]

I read a quote that he said he feels like a little divorced kid caught in the middle. This is a 60 something year old man.

[Ryan]

Beyonce, Donald Trump, everybody involved.

[Host]

I mean that. Here's the thing, if you are him, Brian, and Trump has gone after your girlfriend and her children with death threats and I don't give a fuck. And you're the worst in all that. To me, if you were serious about your relationship, you would have quit a long time ago. And maybe the heat just got too hot. But I just, that tells me all I need to know about that particular alpha male that he stayed this whole time.

[Ryan]

Well, and we know, we've seen videos of Marjorie, you know, doing CrossFit. I would, I would argue that she is probably the dom in the relationship. And I mean, look at that, look at that form.

[Host]

That's impressive.

[Ryan]

It is impressive. And then, wait, this is, this is the best part. So she, for people who are just listening, she's just like flailing herself on the pull up bar. Um.

[Guest or Clip Speaker]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Host]

I work out five days a week and I, I don't think if my life depended on it, I could do that. So, you know, I give it up for that.

[Ryan]

I do too. I wouldn't want to get in a fight with Marjorie Taylor Greene. So if I had to quit my job, that's what I would do.

[Host]

That's what I would do.

[Kylie]

It's probably all the Ivermectin she's like shoving into her veins.

[Host]

Yeah, steroids from Alex Jones.

[Kylie]

And just a note, we haven't talked about it yet, but the new virus, Marjorie Taylor Greene immediately is back on this train.

[Host]

Ivermectin, the rap violence.

[Ryan]

Next we have a clip which is actually from this real America's Voice network that Marjorie Taylor Greene's fiance was a part of. So it's an interview with Lauren Boebert. Kylie, if you could play the club. Lauren has the Florida vibe.

[Host]

Well, you know, I, I'm, I was born in Florida, I'm from Florida and that explains my crazy vibe. So I'm very.

[Ryan]

So you're a Florida girl. Wow, that makes sense.

[Host]

So.

[Ad Read Announcer]

But I get to cover it with

[Host]

the mask of Colorado and like pretend to be normal and more.

[Ryan]

I'm being serious. And I'm not a xenophobe. I'm not racist. But the legal immigration, I would argue is almost worse than the illegal immigration because we have one third of all the Indians and I'm not even anti

[Kylie]

Indian when you have to start with I'm not xenophobic or this.

[Host]

But immediately you are.

[Ryan]

I mean, yeah, it's just they're not even trying to hide the racism at this point. And this clip just struck me because, I mean, Kylie, if you can pop up, we have a screen grab. This is the outside of Lauren Boeberg's office. So we have, we have two pictures of her with Charlie Kirk. We have of course, the back the blue flag and oh God, even though

[Host]

she doesn't back the blue mess, just

[Kylie]

imagine what the inside of her office looks like.

[Host]

Oh my God, it's the knickknack. But there's a Trumpy trout over her desk. Singing the Star Spangled Banner or whatever it does. Here's the deal. Lauren Boebert. It was just a travesty that she switched districts and she was reelected, which tells you name recognition. Like, some people just genuinely do not pay attention. But she is always on the moral high ground. Always, always, always. She's feeling her guy off at Beetlejuice. She's vaping in the production. And here's the deal. I'm not throwing stones at that. I vape in productions. I don't get caught. I hold it in. I don't blow the smoke. Like, girl,

[Ryan]

have some discretion at least, right?

[Host]

I mean, like, if you're gonna do it, do it well. And she is just a dipshit of the highest order. Between she and Mark Wayne Mullins. That's the. That's the floor of the IQs in Congress, in my opinion.

[Ryan]

Well, and I love when the whole Beetlejuice thing happened. She came out and denied it. Like, there wasn't video of it happening. I mean, classic MAGA playbook.

[Host]

Right down until you're faced with reality,

[Kylie]

and then she's on the stairs of Congress calling everyone else in Congress. What? What'd she say? Like, they're sluts being slutty, right?

[Ryan]

Everyone. Everyone here is too, too horny.

[Kylie]

Too horny.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think that's what she said.

[Kylie]

You.

[Ryan]

hip next, we have a new poll out about Trump's ballroom Kylie.

[Guest or Clip Speaker]

If you can play the clip, pendants support it. This ballroom is simply put on popular. 28% doesn't seem very high, but 20, 28% in perspective. Yeah, I'm going to put 28% in some perspective to you because to me, as I said at the beginning, I never thought I'd be talking about ballrooms because ballrooms are just not my style. But Americans who support or believe in ghosts, that comes in at 39%. How about telepathy? That comes in at 29%. And the new White House ballroom comes in below both of those at 28%. So the bottom line, this new White House ballroom is most certainly not popular. More Americans believe in ghosts and slightly more, though within the margin of error, believe in telepathy. And I will note that our cameraman right now is laughing like nobody's business.

[Host]

It's within the margin of error. Okay, here's the thing about the ballroom. First, it was $250 million. All private money. It's going to be all private money. Then it ratchets up, ratchets up. He tears down the west, east wing. And now the Senate has added a rider for $1 billion. So just let's paint the picture. The economy's in the absolute GDP not growing, job loss, growing, employment decreasing. Like every metric of the economy is in the, except for the very small AI bubble over at the stock market, which doesn't affect, you know, an overwhelming majority of Americans. And while this is happening and Americans are taking out of 401k, what's his face, the dip cabinet secretary was on there saying credit card use is up. That's not good. People having to pay their daily living expenses on a credit card because they can't afford it. Nobody wants to hear about your billion dollar ballroom. And then you think about in terms of the messaging right after the alleged shooting at the White House correspondence dinner. It was immediate. We need this ballroom. We need it to be publicly funded. They're still not going for it in mass. It's really kind of startling how disrespectful Trump is to the people that put him in office.

[Ryan]

I'm just upset that we're going to have to be hearing about this thing for years. Like this isn't, you know, it's the, this is just the beginning of the ballroom. So as much as we think we're hearing Trump talk about it and brag about it. The construction hasn't even started. So we're going to be hearing about this for a long time, and I'm already sick of it.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Kylie]

On prediction markets, people are betting, will it be finished before 2030? Will it be finished before? I mean, when he's out of office, Right.

[Host]

Right before this ballroom. And here's the thing about it. In my opinion, if I am the new president in 2028, the first thing I do is tear down anything Trump did, like, start to finish. I'll pay for it out of my own pocket, because if I'm president, I'm rich. To get there, you have to have money. So I am tearing all that shit. I am just acting like the Trump administration never happened. Except for the wall of shame that I would do, the museum I would create in his honor about the corruption and the criming and turning the White House into a joke, that would be the only thing that would remind anyone of Trump.

[Kylie]

He would still like that. If you called it, like the Trump, he. It has his name on it, his pictures in there. He'd be like, this is a great place.

[Host]

Yeah, it's great. I mean, I'm a criminal, but so what?

[Kylie]

All right, Pumps, you want to close this out?

[Host]

Okay, you guys, thank you. It was fun. And again, the most gorgeous producing team in podcasting. We'll be back later with more news.
