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.
Host
You are, for example, listener.

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.
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Producers: Kylie & Ryan
Episode Date: May 8, 2026
In this fiery, comedic, and distinctly progressive episode of IHIP News, Jennifer Welch (“Pumps”) and Angie Sullivan, joined by producers Kylie and Ryan, deliver a whirlwind breakdown of a rough news cycle for Donald Trump. With sharp wit and biting commentary, they revisit a series of news items showing the Trump family drama, policy missteps turning hilariously petty, MAGA world betrayals, and Republican hypocrisy—with plenty of banter and signature Oklahoma sass.

Candid, acerbic, Oklahoma-drawl comedic energy laced with exasperation and sarcasm. The hosts don’t pull punches—instead, they lance MAGA absurdities with both glee and genuine frustration for what they see as attacks on democracy and compassion.
This episode, bursting with laugh-out-loud commentary and zesty political analysis, skewers Trump world’s ongoing self-owns, from family PR disasters to policy failures affecting everyday Americans—right down to their Diet Coke cans. The hosts’ unfiltered progressive perspective and cultural digs make this a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand how the left sees the latest right-wing headlines, minus the spin and with plenty of spice.
