Unknown Speaker 1
The women of Maga always fascinate me. And I have been wondering, like, where is Waldo? Where is Melania? We have not seen Melania hardly at all. So much to my surprise, we have an article in the New York Times that says a most sensitive subject in the White House. Where is Melania? Melania Trump, the first lady, has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since her husband was inaugurated. 100. And I just want to remind everyone that Jeff Bezos paid $40 million to do a documentary for Amazon prime about first lady Melania Trump. Her life is first lady. Gonna be hard to film that given that she's never there.
Unknown Speaker 2
Here's why I don't think she's around. Number one, she hates Donald Trump just like the rest of us. But I think she's every bit as sick and toxic as he. Secondly, she's probably running around filming her documentary. But here's my take on this kind of stuff. I don't give a shit if she's at the White House or not. I think that if there is a man that is an American president and his wife doesn't want to participate in some sort of leading role, we should be modern enough that she doesn't have to do all of that stuff. Here's where my rub is. If Michelle Obama, if Kamala would have won and we would have had the first gentleman, or if Jill Biden and I could go on and on, were awol, Fox News would hyperventilate. I mean, we would have to do CPR on them immediately. And it's always just this double standard. Like this is a barely a blip. And if Michelle Obama was missing, I mean, Fox News would have, you know, sirens. Michelle Obama didn't go to the inauguration because she just couldn't. Morally, she couldn't go. And they're still running all this up. Michelle and Barack are getting a divorce, which is a total lie. But I don't really give a shit if she's there or not. But I'm not some petty micromanager that gets triggered by shit like this. But the right would really, really care about this. And it just shows they don't give a shit what Trump does. It's a hollow thing. They just want him in power so they can own the libs and be racist.
Unknown Speaker 1
You're completely right. I'm the same with you. If she doesn't want to do it, that's fine. But the fact that everyone talked about all the spouses up to this point and that Jeff Bezos paid her $40 million to chronicle her as first lady, which we knew from the jump was appeasement, but it's so gross. But someone who is back in the news is Ivanka Trump. And I just want to say I'm surprised it took her this long to get back in the spotlight. I know she's been shunned by New York and society and she's banished to Florida, but here she is. Ivanka Trump starts A for profit report reveals Ivanka Trump's new focus for her father's second term. And here's what it is. We launched Planet Harvest to reimagine how American produce moves not just through the supply chain, but across communities. Ivanka Trump said in a statement to Axios. By connecting fresh, fresh and surplus harvests with those who can benefit from them, we're supporting farmers reducing food waste, expanding access, and using good nutrition to improve health. I'm for every single bit of that. I think this is an admirable cause. But here's the rub. This is for profit. Can these people do anything just to help somebody?
Unknown Speaker 2
Here's the deal. Everything that she just said there is a jet stream of bullshit. She doesn't give a shit about any of that stuff. This is a girl who reportedly has received abortion care and her friends in New York who took her to. To receive this alleged abortion before she was married, sits on the sidelines while women in red states, women in our states, are having to drive, if they can afford it, to a state where they can legally get abortion care because there's something, you know, terribly wrong with their fetus. The doctors in our states are too scared of doing this because they're afraid of going to jail. And now she wants to trot out like she gives a shit about produce. Fuck off. I'm not buying any of it. They have no credibility.
Unknown Speaker 1
None.
Unknown Speaker 2
Zero credibility. Anybody connected to Trump has zero credibility, period. These people don't give a shit about women. She sure as fuck doesn't give a shit about produce. I mean, give me a break. I can't take it. I'm not buying what she's selling because I critically think. And she's morally compromised, she's economically compromised, and she is a total hypocrite of the highest order. That would be nowhere, not near where she is right now in her life without her dad's leapfrogging her. To, to. Now, her husband made $2 billion off of some enrichment deal that surely should have been investigated, but the Democrats were too impotent to do it.
Unknown Speaker 1
I completely agree. And here. Okay, I Want to preface this next story? It's about Laura Loomer. And I would not give Laura Loomer any credibility. I think she's a nut. I think she's a crazy conspiracy theorist. The reason I bring it up is because she marched into the Oval Office and she had national security officials fired. She has the president's ear. One of the craziest people on the planet who rode on the plane with him to the bay to the debate with Kamala Harris, eating the dogs, eating the cats, that's from her. And this person has access to the President of the United States. Melania is nowhere to be found. But Laura Loomer, she's out front. So new attorney general from the Trump administration. Trump picks conspiracy theorist with no medical license to replace Fox News contributor as Surgeon general. And here's what I have to say about that. Even if you're a triple Trumper, are you not aware that a surgeon general that has no medical. I mean, she has a medical degree, but she is not a practicing metal medical doctor. Doesn't that give you pause?
Unknown Speaker 2
No.
Unknown Speaker 1
Really?
Unknown Speaker 2
These triple Trumpers turned into anti vaxxers. These are the people that say, I'm doing my own research, you know, on Facebook, this is this. That part of the electorate is primed for this because they have dismantled expertise. And here's what I have to say. Living in a red state and Oklahoma, I, you know, we have doctor friends and I know of like, you know, periphery people that are medical doctors who are triple trumpers. And this is the fuck around, find out situation when you vote for somebody who wants to dismantle the decades that you put into the expertise of being a physician and then appoint something like this. You have blood on your hands and the, this measles outbreak and all of this stuff. No, the triple Trumpers are. This is the personality cult. They're like, oh, good, yeah, maybe we shouldn't listen to doctors anymore. They're the ones that got us into this Covid mess. That's what they think. That's what outrage it.
Unknown Speaker 1
I know, you're right. Okay, so Laura Limmer, bringing it all back to Laura Limmer, who is a conspiracy theorist. Theorist. She's mad about this woman. And here's what all caps. So she's screaming, this President Trump's pick for U.S. surgeon General Casey Means said she praised inanimate objects, communicates with spirit mediums, uses shrooms as plant medicine and talks to trees. And she also doesn't have an active medical license. The inmates are running the asylum, to which I Say, Laura, I agree with you on that point. The inmates are running the asylum. But how bad of a nutball conspiracy theorist is this new pick for Attorney general that Laura Loomer doesn't like her.
Unknown Speaker 2
Here's my thing. Like, again, these people have no credibility. They pick RFK Jr. Who literally, like, told both candidates, I'm available, right? Whoever picks me first, I'm going to be your secretary. Kamala wouldn't even give him a meeting. You know, Trump would give a dead pig a meeting, right? You know, I mean, he. He like butt dials reporters and crazy shit, right? So they want to cherry pick which crazy people are over the line. When the man at the of the ticket doesn't know the difference between people seeking asylum and insane asylums, and, you know, talks about Hannibal Lecter and all this crazy ass shit, writes love letters to Kim Jong Un. Where was the outrage on that? I mean, that doesn't sound like a mentally sound, diplomatic idea to write a love letter to Kim Jong Un. That was years ago. And so, I mean, what I have to say to this is, why do you cherry pick? Some people are just a little bit a tinge too crazy and others aren't. They have no credibility.
Unknown Speaker 1
I completely agree. And then I just want to. I do. Okay, so I agree with Laura Loomer that the inmates are running this. Okay?
Unknown Speaker 2
Another one of the inmates, and she.
Unknown Speaker 1
Laura Loomer, hates Pam Bondi. I personally despise Pam Bondi.
Unknown Speaker 2
So you find yourself a strange bedfellow.
Unknown Speaker 1
I have a strange bed.
Unknown Speaker 2
You're eating the dogs and eating the cats.
Unknown Speaker 1
Eating the dogs. I'm eating the cats. I'm eating pain Bondi. Okay, so here's what she had to say about Pam Bondi, which again brings us back to something I want to talk about at the end. Okay, here we go.
Unknown Speaker 2
No problem.
Unknown Speaker 3
Would think that an attorney general who is supposed to be like, the leading law enforcement official in our country would speak with a little bit more confidence in her voice. Right? Like, do you really feel that she truly believes in what she's saying when she stutters, the way she stutters and the way that she, you know, has to kind of dilly dally around the way she speaks? I don't really feel that she's even believing the coming out of her own mouth. I don't. So she said it. She went on Fox News, and she's the one who said herself that you can expect to see some Epstein information. And notice that she said Epstein information because she's trying to watch her words because she knows that she's a liar. She knows she's not releasing any information that's actually new in nature. It's just a bunch of propaganda.
Unknown Speaker 1
Okay, here's the thing. Two things about this. Number one, when are these people going to clue in that the reason these files are not being released is because he is an offender? Trump is on the logs, he's on the voice. You know the messages that you used to take by hand, he's on those. He is the reason, Trump is the reason that they're not releasing the Epstein files. And we have Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, we have all these people running around saying, why aren't they releasing the Epstein files? How do you not know?
Unknown Speaker 2
They're almost there. They're getting closer. They're getting closer. I mean, you know what? As insane as all of this is, this tells me that there are a few people in the epicenter of MAGA that have the audacity to ask a question. And I know that that is such a little micro baby step, but you've heard Bannon talk about anti oligarchical causes. You he, you hear her kind of getting there a little bit, even criticizing. Pam Bondi is such an outlier from the epicenter of what's going on at the White House. Look at little Marco Rubio. I mean, he looks like a hostage. I mean, it is, it looks like the blood was drained from his body. I mean, it's just unbelievable. So I think that, I mean, as much as I think all this right wing stuff is, is kind of entertaining slash, dangerous, slash, you know, overtly, I do think it's interesting that this is consumed by probably hundreds of thousands of people and they're starting to question a few things. And that gives me a tinge, a tiny little tinge of hope. Not that I think these people are going to be changed and find enlightenment or anything, but a few people that are in the epicenter of this, like, if she starts trashing Pam Bondi and she has Trump's ear, we can sit back and watch that whole thing go down. I mean, I, I'm here for it.
Unknown Speaker 1
Well, I'm here for it, too. But here's the thing. She can trash Pam Bondi to Trump about the Epstein files all she wants. They're never coming out because he's on the. I mean, he's all over the files. Okay, that's what we have for you today. We're trying to get to 1 million subscribers. Stick with us for more news.

Podcast Summary: IHIP News – "Psycho Laura Loomer Attacks Trump Team; Melania Missing?!"
Release Date: May 10, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Duration Covered: [00:04] – [12:53]
Jennifer Welch initiates the discussion by highlighting the conspicuous absence of Melania Trump from White House activities. Referencing a New York Times article, she points out that Melania has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since her husband's inauguration.
"Melania Trump, the first lady, has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since her husband was inaugurated." [00:04]
Jennifer raises questions about Melania's limited presence, speculating on possible reasons behind it, including the challenges of filming a $40 million documentary funded by Jeff Bezos for Amazon Prime.
Angie “Pumps” Sullivan echoes these sentiments, suggesting personal disdain towards Donald Trump and implying that Melania shares similar negative traits.
"Here's why I don't think she's around. Number one, she hates Donald Trump just like the rest of us. But I think she's every bit as sick and toxic as he." [00:47]
The hosts delve into the perceived double standards in media reactions based on the First Lady's engagement. Angie criticizes the lack of outrage if other First Ladies, such as Michelle Obama or Jill Biden, were to be absent or disengaged.
"If Michelle Obama, if Kamala would have won and we would have had the first gentleman, or if Jill Biden and I could go on and on, were awol, Fox News would hyperventilate." [02:13]
She contrasts this with the scrutiny Melania faces, arguing that the right-wing media uses Melania's absence to further their agenda rather than genuinely addressing her husband's actions.
Jennifer shifts the conversation to Ivanka Trump's recent foray into the public eye with her initiative, Planet Harvest, aimed at reimagining American produce distribution.
"Ivanka Trump starts A for profit report reveals Ivanka Trump's new focus for her father's second term." [02:13]
She expresses skepticism about the altruistic nature of the project, questioning whether high-profile figures can genuinely contribute to societal good without profit motives.
Angie vehemently dismisses Ivanka's initiatives as insincere, citing past controversies such as Ivanka reportedly receiving abortion care, which contradicts her public persona.
"She doesn't give a shit about produce. I mean, give me a break. I can't take it. I'm not buying what she's selling because I critically think." [03:27]
The podcast shifts focus to Laura Loomer, a prominent conspiracy theorist who has recently attacked members of the Trump administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Jennifer expresses disdain for Loomer, labeling her as a "nut" and "crazy conspiracy theorist," yet acknowledges her surprising access to Trump.
"Laura Loomer is a crazy conspiracy theorist... she has access to the President of the United States." [04:14]
Angie continues to undermine Loomer's credibility, emphasizing that individuals associated with Trump lack genuine authority or trustworthiness.
"They have no credibility. Anybody connected to Trump has zero credibility, period." [04:15]
The hosts critique recent appointments within the Trump administration, particularly focusing on the new Surgeon General pick, Casey Means, who lacks an active medical license and has promoted unverified health practices.
Jennifer questions the qualifications of political appointees and the broader implications of sidelining medical expertise, especially in the context of public health crises like COVID-19.
"A surgeon general that has no medical... doesn't give you pause?" [06:06]
Angie expands on the dangers of dismantling medical expertise, linking it to worsening public health outcomes and societal trust in science.
"They are the ones that got us into this Covid mess." [07:12]
The conversation returns to the Epstein files, with both hosts expressing frustration over the lack of transparency and alleging Trump’s involvement as a reason for the files' withholding.
Jennifer accuses Trump and his associates of obstructing the release of critical information related to Epstein.
"Trump is on the logs, he's on the voice... he's the reason that they're not releasing the Epstein files." [10:25]
Angie notes a slight shift within the MAGA movement, recognizing that questioning certain actions indicates a fragment of inducement towards accountability, albeit minimal.
"This is the personality cult. They're like, oh, good, yeah, maybe we shouldn't listen to doctors anymore..." [10:58]
Laura Loomer’s personal vendetta against Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, is discussed, highlighting ongoing conspiracies and mistrust within the Trump-aligned factions.
Jennifer and Angie express disdain for Bondi, reinforcing the narrative of corruption and incompetence within Trump's appointees.
"Laura Loomer, hates Pam Bondi. I personally despise Pam Bondi." [09:11]
"They're never coming out because he's on the... he's all over the files." [12:27]
Wrapping up, the hosts express a blend of frustration and cautious optimism. While they remain skeptical about imminent changes, they acknowledge subtle signs of questioning within the Trump supporter base.
"I do think it's interesting that this is consumed by probably hundreds of thousands of people and they're starting to question a few things. And that gives me a tinge, a tiny little tinge of hope." [07:59]
However, they maintain a pessimistic view on the likelihood of significant shifts, reinforcing their commitment to continue monitoring and reporting on these developments.
