Pops, do you remember during the election when they were like, oh, y' all are being crazy. Trump doesn't know anything about 2025 cancel's McTaco tits would never touch gay marriage, blah blah. And we're like, hello, he's hanging out with all these crazy Christian nationalists. I mean, look at the people surrounding him. Well, guess what? Guess what, you guys. They are going after gay marriage. Put up the headline supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same sex marriage ruling. So this is a gal that was the county clerk in, I believe, Kentucky, and she refused to issue marriage licenses. And all I have to say to that is that's your job. You know, like it's always the MAGA titty babies that whine about doing their job. And I think it was the same one when the gay couple went to the bakery to have the cake made and they didn't want to bake the cake for a gay couple. Imagine being a part of a religion that that's your big rub. Like that you two people of the same gender that love each other, that are probably in a much healthier relationship than all of MAGA combined. That you're going to deny them services or deny them the right to marriage. But this is who MAGA is. They are coming after gay marriage. They are coming after the gays. And I just want to tell you guys this. Homosexuality, transgenderism, all of this stuff has been around long before the United States of America, and you are never going to do away with it. It is something that happens naturally with our species. You can either be a dick or you can be cool. And we choose to wrap our arms around the LGBTQIA + community and tell them these people say suck. Their religious superiority is. And we stand with you.

I think the point you make that hits home with me the most is religious superiority, because I see this, and I think you think you know more about someone's life and what's best for them than they do, and that I was raised in it, so I know it is entitlement that you're special and you get to make sure judgments about everybody else and how they live. And I would just say look in the mirror. Look in the mirror at the people that you're supporting. And do you think that that is something you want to be associated with? Because every day you hear about MAGA pastors being arrested and all this with. With child trafficking, pornography, all the things. And I'm telling you, it's just unbelievable to me that somebody would stand at their job when it's. You're supposed to just give marriage certificates. What do you. The entitlement to think that this girl knows or this woman knows better. What's better for somebody else? It is the height of entitlement. It makes me crazy.

Well, and they want it both ways. You know, before maga, they were like, we're. It's a free country. We're all about freedom. We're all about the Constitution, but they are only for freedom for certain people and certain people that believe that. What way they believe. And this is just a really toxic political movement like it. It requires this blind obedience to follow it. And you have to worship Trump and you can't think anything bad about him, and you can change your mind. You know, like Taco me calling him McTaco Tits is because it's. Trump always chickens out. So imagine having to recalibrate on a daily basis. And for Chinese tariffs. I'm against Chinese. Chinese tariffs. And then, you know, they're for gay marriage, they're against gay marriage, but they've never been for gay marriage. This is something before Trump, that George W. Bush, he had a campaign manager named Karl Rove and they put it on the ballot. And this is something that Pumps and I can attest to. In red states, there has been a sustained, pervasive movement to indoctrinate children that gay marriage isn't what God wants. And they're indoctrinated at a very young age. Pumps's kids went to a school called Crossings Christian School in Oklahoma City. There's also a school called Oklahoma Christian Academ, ocs, Oklahoma Christian School. Both of these schools, the parents and the children have to sign a document that says that they believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. And think about that. You're a religious school. You're sending your kids to school to learn about compassion, about helping the marginalized. And that's the document they make you sign. That's. That's the indoctrination. The indoctrination is to get these kids to hate. And here's the problem with this. A lot of the moms and Pumps can attest to this because this was before her enlightenment. A lot of these moms at Crossing Crossings Christian School probably go to a gay hairdresser, enjoy a fashion design or movie set design or whatever. Maybe it's a doctor that's gay. And they have no problem receiving such services. Yet there's a moral duplicity where they don't feel the affection they have for this person providing the service. And then they just blindly sign this document and they silently at home tell their kids, well, you know, that's the devil. Gay marriage really isn't what God wants. And that is just. That's the quiet part that keeps going that leads us to that headline. So many people go along with not standing out. And that silence, that acquiescence, has led us to this moment, to where now we're going backwards. I remember when Obama Supreme Court announced it and he lit the White House up with the pride colors. And now this is the backlash from it. And I challenge every white woman, every white woman out there that has a gay friend, that has gone to a drag show and enjoyed themselves, that receives services or enjoys some arts that is, you know, dominated by homosexual people, that you were going along with the indoctrination of children at these psychopathic hate academies where the one document you have to sign isn't that we are going to stand against the marginalization of the African American community and help lift this community up to levers of equality. It's gay marriage. Well, here's the thing.

These people, because I used to be one of them, right, they think they are better than everyone else. And a gay child or a gay sibling, that can't happen to them because they're chosen by God. So they lack empathy until it happens to them, until they have someone they love.
- [08:25]
Pumps
I'm, I've always been curious about this. Your friends, former friends that have maybe a gay hairdresser or a gay friend, and then they sign that document and they vote, they triple trump. What is that?
- [08:40]
Co-host
Cognitive dissonance. They are just able to rear view it, separate it. It's like those two things never join. They never critically think about how does my vote affect the person I care about in my life. It, it never happened.

Pumps
But on some level, you're thinking that these people are sinners and they're going to hell. And, and the, the repercussions of that are that the demons and the devil are going to torture you, peel your skin off, you're going to be an inferno all the time. And there's this righteousness about like, you know, that's we're not going to have a part of that. And then there's all of this, these tropes that go along with it, that somehow the gay people, the indoctrinators, right? When actually the indoctrinators are these white evangelical schools. And you can pull it up on their websites. Crossing Christian school, you can pull it up. Oklahoma Christian School, you can pull it up. And this is across all 50 states. Their number one agenda is gay marriage. So when you see this thing happen, this didn't just happen with Trump. This has been a decades long, long, sustained movement that, that goes like 30, 40 years. That abortion and gay rights, those two issues from these Christians, those are their big moral callings, which is crazy. So speaking of this movement and speaking of the Heritage foundation, the Heritage foundation is now the only place that Trump can go to find people to work for them because they're that morally rotten, they're that morally depraved. And Brian Tyler Cohen is reporting the following. Trump just announced a new head of labor statistics after firing the previous one for reporting that jobs are down. The new one is from the Heritage foundation, which wrote Project 2025. So what this means is this guy will say whatever Trump wants to do. And this ties in to the women and men that I'm talking about that pay extra money for their kids to go to these Christian hate academ because they justify their hatred by the tax breaks that they get with the Republican Party. Those two things are linked. Like, I, God's going to favor me, plus I'm fiscally conservative. When you start having this Heritage foundation guy cook the books on the US Economy, our economy will go the way of Russia. Mass inflation, not stable treasury bonds. Our economy will no longer be a place where worthy of investment.

Co-host
That's absolutely true. They go hand in hand. So he's bringing in somebody from the Heritage foundation, which I might remind everyone, Department of Education, they want to shut it down. What did Trump do, shut it down? He wants to consolidate all the power in the executive branch. That's exactly what he's done. So these people that thought we were hysterical over Project 2025, it's we're living in it. And as a MAGA red state, we've lived in it before and we know it's the worst place for women to live, the worst place for poverty, high crime, all the things you don't want happen in our state.

Pumps
Yes. And the indoctrination of children is at height at this state. It is what goes on in these private schools. Now they are having this go on in public schools. The superintendent of school who conducts meetings, Ryan Walters, while watching porn in the background, total Christian hypocrite. He now echoes what these private Christian schools want, the anti gay rhetoric. And I have a hot news flash for everybody. 10% of the population is gay. So at one point, gay adults were gay kids. And you can either be a dick or you can be cool about it and find empathy and find courage to support them. But I want to leave you with one thing. And this is the biggest Christian nationalist in the aside from that Paula chick, the tongue talker, the biggest Christian nationalist that I see is the secretary of Defense, Pete Hexseth, who's dumber than a box of hot rocks. But this, this shows me exactly, this is exactly what all of these white Christian people across the United States believe about other human beings. Watch this clip directly from FOX News.

Pete Hexseth
National Guard gonna be picking up these tents. So the homeless tents are all over the city. They're okay. Street tunnel, there are some dotting along the area here. There were more before some of them cleared out. What about those? We're working with the marshals alongside them, alongside park police, alongside everybody else. Wherever they need the National Guard to assist, we're happy to be. Do you know where the homeless people are going to go? That's not really my lane. Our job is to stand alongside law enforcement. We'll do that.
- [13:30]
Pumps
Okay, so this is the guy that tweeted like all Christ all the time about his crazy pastors. That CNN story that we covered a few episodes ago. Did you see the dehumanizing of homeless people? The reason we have such a large homeless population is because of low wages. We are a rich third world country and I would think that the Christian people would be the biggest supporters of finding shelter and food for these homeless people. I would think that they would sound more like Bernie Sanders championing for them to earn a livable wage. But instead, you know what's going to happen? They're going to probably round these people up, mix them up with the immigrants that are also denied due process, and they're going to be sent off to some horrific concentration camp, all done by these people in the name of Jesus Christ. This right wing Christian nationalism in this country is a cancer. The people that send their kids to these religious schools and sign those documents and pay extra money to make sure their kids are radicalized and indoctrinated to hate and be racist and favor these egregious capitalistic systems that further marginalize and and deny health care to their fellow Americans. You guys, this is a problem. Democrats have to start talking about it. Pumps was in it and then she sees it. And when you get out of it and we live around it all the time, you can't unsee how vile and how cruel and how mean this group of people are. There are no good triple trumpers. There just aren't. Maybe they're nice to their family members, maybe they're nice to their dogs, but there is moral rot and this just blaring superiority and a desire to salivate while they watch people that they deem lesser than them be tortured by this administration. All right, that's all we have for this news. We will see you all later. We hope you're having a good weekend.
