Chief, the most corrupt president in history who is an adjudicated rapist. He was adjudicated in a federal court to have raped E. Jean Carroll. So on Valentine's Day, this is the email fundraising grift that he sends out and I wanted to everyone to see it. He says, I sent you a love letter, but I haven't heard back. It's Valentine's Day. Eugene, I love you. And I was pretty sure you loved me back. Is everything okay? Open love letter. Roses are red, violets are blue. Do you still love Trump as I love you? This is a small preview. Blah, blah, blah. Before you read my letter. Do you still love me and are great. President Trump sent this out to his followers, bringing attention to the fact that he sexually assaulted Eugene Carroll. He has mentioned over 1.5 million times in the Epstein files, and he still sends this out to people and he tells them how much he loves them, which I thought was creepy, but Ruth Bengiot educated me on that, that dictators do this. So, Jennifer, when you see this, what do you think?
C
I think that this is the, the flagrant flex that reminding everybody that he gets to do this. That in light of all of the Epstein stuff that we, we are going. We are the people that are able to do these things with impunity. Furthermore, who knows if he even wrote that? Who knows if he even knows that that was exactly what was sent out. But that's the point. It doesn't matter anymore. And this is something we all need to think about. I used to think, okay, this guy's not a spring chicken. He's a lame duck. He's going to drop dead. That'll fix our problems. It won't. What's incubating is far, far worse. The JD Vance, the Stephen Miller, all of the oligarchs that have their. I guess they want to be wealthier, even though they have all made a collective. I think it's 1.9 trillion dol. And so this is. This is just. This is going to get worse. I mean, this just does not surprise me. There is no bottom. It doesn't surprise me. This is where I could sit here and we could do an episode. Donald Trump and his administration did all this depraved shit and then what I'm more interested in is what is the resistance doing and the people that still support him everyday Americans are the people in their lives saying, do you see what he's doing? Do you see what you're supporting? Do you see that he is trying so hard to make you Hate and scapegoat, really hard working good people whose restaurants you eat at, whose events you watch. And they want to blame this trans community or these drag queens or these books because all of these rich pedophiles want to be richer and clearly want to sexually assault more people.
B
Well, and they just want absolute control over everybody's thoughts, everybody's life, what they do in the bedroom. They want control of everything. And to that end, Jennifer has been sounding the alarm for months and months and months about ICE and the 2026 midterms. And so Kristi Noem, she just says it straight up. Here she is talking about how she wants the right people voting.
D
And elections is another one of those critical infrastructure responsibilities that I have as well. And I would say that many people believe that it may be one of the most important things that we need to make sure we trust is reliable and that when it gets to election day, that we've been proactive to make sure that we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country through the days that we have now, knowing that people can trust it.
B
First of all, the only people that don't trust the election are the people that you lied to and said the 2020 election was stolen. Like this is not surprising, but this is stunning. We want the right people to vote. We want you to have your proof of citizenship before you vote. And I was reading all weekend about like the voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting is such a minuscule number. It's just here we go. I mean, 2026 midterms are going to be crazy.
C
She's using implicitly intentional coded racist language there. Make no mistake about it. We want to make sure the right people are voting and electing the right type of candidate. This is fascism through and through. This is American racism through and through and through. Furthermore, the Republican Party has a decades long history of trying to suppress the vote. This is not new. The problem is now they've elected a conspiracy theorist, cheater, con man. And all of these people, they, what they all have in common is they all like to cheat, these oligarchs. They like cheating. They like to exploit human beings, not pay them a livable wage, not pay the same percentage per income that we all pay. And they still want the system rigged for them. A lot of these oligarchs have decided they don't like democracy anymore. But so they want to cheat. They want to install a technocrat CEO style guy, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, cheat. They just give these politicians all this Money. Supreme Court makes sure they can cheat. They don't put their names on the ballot and run. You think Elon Musk could get elected the way Zoran Mamdani did?
B
No.
C
You think Peter Till could put his ass on a ballot with his billions of dollars in the account and he could win? No, he couldn't win. She's using intentional, implicit racist language. Because the Republican Party for years has been machinating and moving towards cheating, and now the hoods are off on everything. The hoods are off on the racism, the hoods are off on the cheating. They're going to send ice to election polls, specifically in immigrant and black communities. And this is where we have to be very, very coordinated, that the voter turn must be too big to rig, because if they do that this time, then it's over. They forced a, you know, a constitutional dictatorship at that point, and we are not that far away from that. And many scholars believe we have already entered into the beginning stages of a dictatorship, which I think that's as obvious as anything.
B
No, I agree with you on that. And then you see that the Trump administration, just what Jennifer was talking about, they are using the same language propaganda as the Nazis. So we have Mother Jones that has put this to the test. Many of the phrases, images and attached media used by the Trump administration aren't just regular social media content. They repurpose language, symbolism and cultural references with direct connections to neo Nazi and white supremacist movements. This goes exactly to what you're, you're saying. And what makes me so crazy about this is you have them saying, don't call me a Nazi, don't call me a fascist. And everything they do is on purpose. And I don't know if they just don't be like, called names because they're, you know, such fragile egos, or they don't want the people that aren't paying attention to know how diabolical they are and what white supremacists they are. But to see that it's just all so linked is no surprise. But, I mean, it's stunning to see that article.
C
Yeah, I mean, I think that we knew this back when he did the rally at Madison Square Gardens during the campaign. And it was very mirroring Nazi language. And specifically Stephen Miller's speech was very Nazi coded. And I think that the reason that they say don't call us fascists and don't call us Nazis is a whole part of the, a whole part of the scam that they're running. They want to be able to do whatever they want to do with complete impunity. They want to pretend like this. Their wishes are that of the masses. And so that's a part of the scam that they're running. Everybody, everybody wants this. We want a mandate. And the polls are higher than they've ever been. So they are trying to pull the wool over the American public's eyes that, oh, no, this, this couldn't be. We couldn't be fascist and we couldn't be Nazis. But sometimes it slips up. Like, you heard Josh, you know Josh Hawley. This was a year and a half ago. He said it was point blank. He said he was a Christian nationalist. Elon Musk did the sick Heil salute. When they get on mainstream media like cnn, that's where they're most triggered by this. But in their own circles, on their own message boards, they all know they're Nazis. They all know they're fascists and they like it and they're proud of it. But they're a part of the ruse and a part of the authoritarian takeover is that they're trying to hoodwink and go, oh, this was Democratic. Like, this is what everybody wants right now. And of the out to lunch Democratic leadership right now is not fighting back because they all share the same corporate donors.
B
Yeah, it's really stunning. And I think you're right. I think they know it, but they don't want anybody else to think it because they have this little joke, yeah, we're Nazis, we're doing all this, but it's democratic. I think you make a great point. And then this just went all through me. The USAID stopping funding USAID. I think we've heard reports that up to like 500,000 people died because they stopped giving food to the poorest, medicine to the sickest. So Project 2025 architect who promised to put Fed Federal agency employees in trauma is spending 15 million of former USAID funding, many that would have gone toward fighting hiv, polio, malaria and other diseases to bankroll and his security detail. So it's just we don't give a fuck about the poorest people. We don't care about the sickest people. What I care about is me, my security. And I'm not going to worry about how Congress allotted funds. I'm just going to take funds because I want them and because Trump's never going to say anything about it. So when I saw this, I just thought, of course they don't want to help people, they want to protect themselves. That's just such a feature of this administration.
C
They'Ve never wanted to. And it goes before this administration, the Republican Party has always wanted to beat down any sort of social service safety net that helps those in need. The church's fame, like oh, we're going to go to these third world countries and, and spread Christianity. It, it's all self serving. Everything with these people, self serving. This is not new with the Republican party. What's so new is the brazen lawlessness of it. But the Republican Party has wanted to do this for a long time. That's why they're so excited about the idiot and the Trojan horse that they wrote in to the epicenter of the federal government on. Because now that they're climbing out of that Trojan horse, they're able to do these long wanted desires of Republican politicians. And specifically Russell Vaught is a big white Christian nationalist. This is a long desire of Christian nationalists to tear down the Constitution because they want a Christian nationalist white supremacist state. These people act like they care about poor people, they care about sick people. It's all a ruse. It's always been a ruse. They don't care about life, they don't care about kids. It's all just culture war shit to get you to hate other Americans. And with an assist from Russia and with an assist from an absolute dipshit as a president, all of these really diabolical people are crawling out of that Trojan horse. And he Trump marched them right into the middle of the federal government. And Trump doesn't give a shit. He doesn't care about policy, he doesn't care about usaid. He is interested in vanity projects. Whether it's about servicing his ego, servicing his grievances, servicing his interior design projects. That's the end. He's famously a non reader, he's famously a non intellect, he's famously a failed businessman, he's famously a con man, he's famously a thief. And now he has let all the criminals in to the United States government. And I for the life of me cannot understand where Democratic leadership is right now.
B
That's a great point.

All right.

Title: Kristi Noem's Slip Up On Live TV Exposes The Truth About Trump's Plan
Podcast: IHIP News
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: February 17, 2026
In this episode, Jennifer and Angie deliver their signature progressive, comedic commentary on current US political events, centering on statements made by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and the state of the Trump movement heading into the 2026 midterms. The hosts dissect the language used by Trump-aligned politicians, unpack connections to authoritarianism and white supremacy, and call out the stakes for democracy in America. The tone is irreverent, direct, and passionate, as they voice frustration with both Republican and Democratic leadership.
Angie opens with a critical reading of a Trump fundraising email styled as a "love letter," calling it a "grift" and highlighting how Trump continues to flaunt scandalous legal history, including sexual assault allegations.
Quote (Angie, 00:23): “On Valentine's Day, this is the email fundraising grift that he sends out ... bringing attention to the fact that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll ... He has mentioned over 1.5 million times in the Epstein files and he still sends this out to people.”
Angie notes that this kind of brazen communication is characteristic of dictators, referencing Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an expert on authoritarianism.
Jennifer responds by identifying this as "a flagrant flex" (01:19) and emphasizing that this attitude demonstrates impunity and a dangerous normalization of corrupt, harmful behavior at the highest political levels. She points to the rise of figures like JD Vance and Stephen Miller as evidence that "what’s incubating is far, far worse" (01:38).
Angie describes investigative reporting by Mother Jones, which demonstrates how the Trump movement repurposes language and imagery from neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements (06:53).
Jennifer asserts that the Trump administration’s use of fascist and white supremacist rhetoric is part of a deliberate scam to maintain power while deceiving the public into thinking this agenda has democratic legitimacy. She points out examples like Josh Hawley’s self-identification as a "Christian nationalist" and Elon Musk’s Nazi salute, arguing these slips occur most often in more private or sympathetic forums but are deliberately disguised in mainstream appearances (08:02).
Angie expresses outrage over reported decisions to repurpose USAID funds—intended for food and medical aid for vulnerable global populations—to security for Trump allies. She links this to the Project 2025 agenda, which explicitly targets the federal workforce and social safety provisions.
Jennifer places this in the longer ideological trajectory of the GOP: “The Republican Party has always wanted to beat down any sort of social service safety net that helps those in need ... What's so new is the brazen lawlessness of it.” (11:22)
Jennifer singles out Russell Vought (Project 2025 architect) as key to the Christian nationalist movement’s drive to dismantle the constitution and create a white supremacist state. She forcefully argues Trump is simply a vehicle (“the Trojan horse”) for more ideologically driven interests to advance their agenda: “He is interested in vanity projects ... He’s famously a non-reader, non-intellect, a failed businessman, a con man, a thief. And now he has let all the criminals in to the United States government.” (12:38)
Jennifer and Angie use humor, directness, and sharp political critique to highlight escalating authoritarianism, explicit racism, and brazen self-interest within the Trump-aligned Republican movement. The episode warns about increasing threats to democracy ahead of the 2026 midterms, using Kristi Noem’s "right people voting" remark as a prime example. The hosts cite historical context and current reporting to show these are not isolated incidents but part of a deliberate, dangerous pattern—while also lamenting Democratic ineffectiveness. Their commentary is urgent, biting, and committed to exposing the truth behind the rhetoric shaping American politics in 2026.
