Foreign Donald Trump gave a psychotic press conference yesterday in the Oval Office, where he turned it into a flea market, where he is schlepping his riff raff and knickknacks from the Resolute desk. And we have triple Trumper MAGA MAGA voters crying MAGA tears because they are just so shocked that they're getting fired from their jobs. And then, of course, we have the MAGA Congress that has cut $2 trillion in services and research for Americans, most of which are in need of this. And get a load of what they did immediately after passing this immoral, heartless, diabolical budget. This time, I asked the House to.
Host 2
Observe a moment of silence.
Jasmine Crockett
Members, staff, guests, please rise for a moment of silence.
Host 1
All right, as you can see, as a person who grew up in the Bible Belt, I have found that this is the essence of evangelical Christianity and MAGA Christianity, where they do a lot of bad things or horrible, horrible things happen and then just have a quick attaboy prayer and then they move on. So it's the thoughts and prayer, performative religiosity on the House floor after they cut health care, medical care from the poorest Americans. Explain to me, like I'm five years old, how these people are big Christians.
Host 2
Having grown up in the evangelical faith, I can tell you that there is a level of entitlement and narcissism and that because you are an evangelical Christian Christian, you are higher, superior, elite compared to others, and that you are able to judge others because you're special, you're unique. So I believe that these people do not see their hypocrisy because they believe they are above people and they are chosen and they are better than other people. So when they hurt other people, it's okay because they're better.
Host 1
They're in God's favor.
Host 2
They're in God's favor and that runs all the way through the judgment in Christianity is mind boggling. And this is a perfect example of that.
Host 1
Next up, we have my spirit animal, my favorite woman in the United States of America, and I'm talking about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Play the clip.
Jasmine Crockett
Good.
Host 1
Speak directly to Elon Musk.
Host 2
What would you say? Buck off. That's it. Yes. Yes.
Host 1
This is the energy we need. I'm going to tell you something that I have absolutely had it with. I have had it with Democratic politicians and Democratic strategists saying the following things. These mega voters, they just felt abandoned, and so they just voted because they were trying to deal with inflation. Bullshit. Bullshit. They all saw January 6th, they all saw the crimes, they've all seen his press conferences, they've all seen his caps, logs, tweets. It's bigger than that. Quit trying to give them permission structures. Quit enabling their triple Trump vote. They voted for him because the cruelty is the point. Their default setting is racism. Whether it's covert, overt, conscious, subconscious. That's what it is. We all know it and we have. They don't allow for any room for oh, the Democrats vote this way because of XYZ and the Democrats. Trump played to his base and he won. The Democrats have got to learn the lesson. There is just a percentage of the electorate that is never, ever, ever going to vote for you. They're in a cult and they pray after they take away health care and cancer research and Alzheimer's research and Social Security from Americans and they pray after they meet with their boss, Vladimir Putin. So quit trying to enable these voters. I have had it. Next up pumps.
Host 2
You'll love this.
Host 1
We have a triple Trumper MAGA tears post online. Jacob Manser says, I've been a proud Trump supporter for three elections but now my business just got cut from our federal contract. This is bull. We're not some DEI quota filler. We do real hard work. We need to get in touch with someone ASAP to fix this mess like and share so the right people see this. And what I have to say about this is thoughts and prayers, right? Thoughts and prayers to you.
Host 2
Good luck with your thoughts and prayers. What's interesting to me twofold on your point about the Democrats saying, well it was inflation, it's not inflation because now the inflation is exponentially increasing and they are now flipped the script to say, oh well, it's national security, it's necessary for national security. It's not inflation, it's racism, it's the patriarchy, it's homophobia. All the things you don't want to be MAGA is in spades. And I don't think we can say it enough. They like the cruelty, the cruelty of Donald Trump hit them where they liked it.
Host 1
And I think pumps to your point, all of those points are true. They're willing to burn down democracy to own the libs because they have fallen prey to a decades long right wing media propaganda campaign to get them mad at other Americans. It's not like, oh we can agree to disagree. This is my Republican friend and we disagree, but we, you know, we just disagree on tax policy or whatever. They have turned this, these, what were fringe into mainstream and they're willing to go pick a fight with Canada and the European Union to own the libs. But deeper than that, obviously, because I think they're all compromised by Vladimir Putin. All right, next up, we have the commander in chief, convicted felon in chief Donald Trump, sitting at the Oval. We'll have another episode this afternoon reviewing this psychotic, totally psychotic presser and Oval. But here he is selling his merch. And I want y'all to look at RFK jr's face.
Jasmine Crockett
See that Trump was right about everything. Just came in. Somebody said, I said, this was sent in by a fan. I said, I think we should make some of them right. Like we were pretty much, you want one? Are you allowed to take one? Because he'll consider it. I know him well. He's sort of a stiff. Brian, you're not a stiff.

What's great about Ground News is each article they tell you, did a media conglomerate put this news out or was it an independent media? And they also list the degree of factuality which, interestingly enough, there are news sources, media conglomerates that have mixed or low factuality.

Okay, back to the riff raff knick knack white trash flea market going on in the Oval Office. And here's what I have to say. I noticed in 2016, if you voted for Trump, you were either a racist or a racist apologist. And then as we moved on, now you're either a Nazi or a Nazi apologist. And I want to add the following. You're either white trash or a white trash apologist. Because what he's doing in the Oval is Jerry Springer QVC white trash. And who is that Lutnick sitting there laughing, knee slapping like that's just hilarious. He is that. He's selling his little hats behind the Resolute desk. This is so humiliating. And everybody needs to understand that every morning there are some people around the world that wake up who celebrate this white trash behavior. And its name is Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, she and whoever's in charge of Iran. And I'm just telling you guys, this is the end for all of you big constitution thumping patriots out there. You're burning it all to the ground. We are not. We are exceptional in face planting right now. We are exceptional. American exceptionalism is face planning. That's what's going on right now. Donald Trump is exceptional at burning everything he touches to the ground.
Host 2
Absolutely. And he surrounds himself with people that want to burn everything to the ground. Interestingly enough, nephed about the grifting. I would say how undignified and indecent and unethical it would be for a President of the United States to be grifting and earning money based on the office of the President. But we're so far past that. I mean, we're worried about illegality and people dying and diseases. But I looked at that and I saw the Gulf of America in the background and I'm like, did he switch the name of the Gulf of America to grift? I mean, that's one thing I can see him actually planning out. I don't give him credit for much, but all of these things that he's grifting off of are the changes to the Gulf of America. Red, white and blue land, Stupid like that. That's where he spends his time. And he lets his diabolical minions go at the heart of the American people. Their health, their welfare, their needs.
Host 1
Okay, next up, we have a convicted felon, a leader of the free world, which I don't think the United States is in the leadership position any longer. That retweeted the following and it's at Trump Gaza. And I want to show you guys some screen grabs from this video. First and foremost, this is horrifically sad. Gaza is the sign is the hollowed ground of massive human rights violations. Where hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians died. And so Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu thinks and Jared Kushner think it would be a real fun thing to turn this into condos. So here's some screen grabs. Here he is with Benjamin Netanyahu laying out on the beach, drinking my ties. And then the next image. Okay, this is wild. For those of you listening that can't see on YouTube, it is a super duper tall, gold, solid gold statue of Donald Trump where he's been thinned down and has better posture. And I don't know, I'm old enough to remember. Do you remember when the United States invaded Iraq? And yes, listener, I know it was the wrong country, and during the Bush administration, but they had all those statues of Saddam Hussein and we pulled them down because it was like fascist, authoritarian, you know, and anyway, I remember the soldiers and the Iraqis like, pulling it down. So he has this in the middle of Gaza. The next slide is him dancing with some woman on some dance floor with gaudy chandeliers. And then, of course, Elon Musk throwing money on the beach, just having a great time. And then here's the most curious one.
Host 2
This is curious.
Host 1
So we have dancing on the beach in Trump's Gaza, his imagined Gaza. We have trans belly dancers, which I'm, I'm fine with it. I don't, I don't take issue with it. But this is a man whose entire campaign, like the big bulk of it, was anti trans, that all of these, when he wasn't talking about eating cats and dogs, it was the, you know, this very, very, very less than 1% of the population are coming to kill and torture you. So in his reimagined Gaza on Truth Social, he has trans belly dancers entertaining everyone.
Host 2
I thought that was interesting, too. Of all the things to put on there, none of this surprises me about Trump. Here's the thing. I was surprised in the original image in his bathing suit that he wasn't more slimmed down. But that's, that's not the point. But what I cannot believe is that the President of the United States of America has said out loud, we don't want these people to come back. They shouldn't want to come back, because we're going to build condos. And in any, any other world, that would be ethnic cleansing. And he doesn't care. And nobody in his party and very few Democrats that I've heard are calling him out on the displacement of people. He's trying to strong arm other Arab leaders to take these people as refugees when asked if the United States was going to take some. Of course not, because they're brown. It is unbelievable to me that people are not up in arms about this and all of his Republican enablers are just letting it go. Your big fat national security democracies of the world, they are silent.
Host 1
Well, and I think the thing about us, why aren't people up in arms over this? Why aren't people up in arms over that? Because the flood the zone strategy has been effective. And what he did yesterday with that press conference and with this retweet of this Trump Gaza is to bump the budget bill that was passed from the top of the news cycle to the bottom. So he throws out these, you know, more clickbaity type things to get everybody to talk about. But at the end of the day, listener, I'm going to leave you all with this. This is the end of American leadership America trying to be an example for democracy. This is the end. This. We are in late stage capitalism where we have for decades been taught to value profit over human beings. And that started before Trump. That started way before Trump. And this is the manife of that moral shortcoming. And this is the impact of it. This is what happens when you don't give a shit when kids get shot in school. We don't give a shit if people die because they can't afford health care. Because you value money, money, money, money. Donald Trump is the consequences of decades of American voters failure in valuing human beings over profit. That's a real uplifting thing. Hey, listen, we have a new ambitious goal. We want to get to 1 million subscribers on YouTube. We know it's really ambitious for two middle and from Oklahoma City. But please make sure you hit subscribe to our YouTube channel because you know what? We got to have goals in Trump's America.
Host 2
That's right.

All right, see you all later.
IHIP News Podcast Summary: "Triple Trumpers Getting a Wake Up Call"
Release Date: February 26, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
The episode opens with Host Jennifer Welch criticizing former President Donald Trump's recent press conference in the Oval Office. Welch describes the event as "psychotic" and likens the Oval Office to a "flea market," highlighting Trump's behavior of showcasing "riff raff and knickknacks" from the Resolute Desk (00:00).
She further condemns the "triple Trumper MAGA MAGA voters," who are depicted as being devastated by job losses and the broader economic fallout caused by the MAGA-aligned Congress. Welch emphasizes the severe budget cuts, mentioning a reduction of "$2 trillion in services and research for Americans" and mocks the performative gestures of "thoughts and prayers" following these decisions (00:50).
Notable Quote:
“Explain to me, like I'm five years old, how these people are big Christians.”
— Jennifer Welch (01:00)
Host Angie Sullivan delves into the intersection of evangelical Christianity and political entitlement. She argues that many evangelical Christians view themselves as "higher, superior, elite," which blinds them to their own hypocrisy. Sullivan criticizes the disconnect between their professed faith and the actions taken by MAGA-aligned politicians, particularly regarding the reduction of essential services (01:42).
Notable Quote:
“They have a level of entitlement and narcissism... they believe they are above people and they are chosen.”
— Angie Sullivan (01:42)
Welch shifts focus to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, praising her as her "spirit animal" and "favorite woman in the United States of America" (02:32). They play a clip of Crockett urging members to "observe a moment of silence," which Welch uses to contrast genuine empathy with performative religiosity in Congress.
Notable Interaction:
Jennifer Welch: “Speak directly to Elon Musk.” Angie Sullivan: “What would you say? Buck off. That's it. Yes.”
— Jennifer Welch & Angie Sullivan (02:42)
The hosts present an online post from Jacob Manser, a long-time Trump supporter whose business lost a federal contract. Welch sarcastically responds to his plea for help with, "Thoughts and prayers, right?" highlighting the perceived ineffectiveness of such responses (04:27).
Notable Quote:
“Thoughts and prayers to you.”
— Jennifer Welch (04:27)
Sullivan criticizes Democratic politicians for mislabeling the motivations behind MAGA voters. She rejects explanations that attribute MAGA votes to feelings of abandonment or economic concerns, asserting instead that racism is the foundational issue. Welch echoes this sentiment, stating that MAGA voters are driven by "cruelty" and have fallen prey to "right-wing media propaganda" (05:04; 05:41).
Notable Quote:
“Their default setting is racism. Whether it's covert, overt, conscious, subconscious.”
— Jennifer Welch (03:50)
Welch and Sullivan take a moment to promote their sponsor, Ground News, emphasizing its role in providing unbiased information by comparing reports from different media conglomerates.

The hosts pivot to international politics, focusing on Trump's activities related to Gaza. Welch criticizes Trump's portrayal of Gaza on social media, depicting it as a surreal mix of authoritarian imagery and superficial entertainments like trans belly dancers. She condemns Trump's stance on refusing refugees and his administration's handling of human rights violations, equating these actions to "ethnic cleansing" and highlighting the lack of accountability from both Republicans and Democrats (10:31; 13:17 - 15:00).
Notable Quote:
“Donald Trump is the consequence of decades of American voters' failure in valuing human beings over profit.”
— Jennifer Welch (15:00)
Welch expands her critique to the broader state of American leadership, asserting that the U.S. is no longer a beacon of democracy. She links this decline to "late-stage capitalism," where profit is prioritized over human welfare. Welch laments the erosion of values, citing issues like school shootings and inadequate healthcare as symptoms of this moral decay, ultimately holding Trump as a symbol of these systemic failures (15:00).
Notable Quote:
“American exceptionalism is face planting right now.”
— Jennifer Welch (10:31)
In the episode's closing, both hosts urge listeners to support their channel by subscribing and promoting Ground News.
