Transcript

[A]

With VRBoCare, help is always ready before, during, and after your stay. We've planned for the plot twists, so support is always available because a great trip starts with peace of mind.

[B]

There's a lot of news stories that slip through the cracks, but not on our watch. Here at IHIP News, our producer Ryan is here to present what could be forgotten news stories to Pumps and me. We have no idea what these are. Ryan presents the news. Ryan, what do you have for us today?

[C]

Today we're starting with the meeting of Two brilliant minds, Dr. Oz and Don Jr. It's a clip that went viral this week. Kylie played the clip.

[D]

It's that weekly in the Oval Office. So he'll. Pepper. Bobby and I usually go to the meetings together. So he'll first start off with, you know, candy bars. That little candy jar, he'll call it. He'll hit the red button.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And then comes the diet soda pops, which is. Your dad argues that diet soda is good for. Because it kills grass. It's poured on grass, so therefore it must kill cancer cells inside the body.

[B]

Sure. So, yeah, I mean, I. You know, I mean, yeah, that's. That's good stuff. I sent this article to my mom, you guys, this video. And I asked her, mom, what do you think of this? And of course, Linda, my mother, comes out with a banger. She says, he has the nuttiest beliefs. He doesn't read or listen to anybody. He thinks exercise wastes. Waste the energy stored in one's body. Demented and raving mad. Hopefully he will be removed from office after the midterms. So shout out to Linda for completely nailing the response to that. And Trump does have the nuttiest beliefs. He doesn't read, he doesn't listen to anybody, and he's surrounded by a medical doctor who repeats that as though it's cute.

[A]

Right. Like any other president, you would say, oh, my gosh, he said that? Please don't tell anybody. We know that sounds crazy. Like, just do not repeat that. Any two bozos get on there and act like it's a medical miracle. I can't believe how stupid the people that support him are. It really is. Like every day I'm like, these people are so dumb. They're so dumb.

[B]

Yeah. And the thing is, is, is I don't think Dr. Oz is dumb. What's. What's more troubling for me are the amount of people that suspend critical thinking and suspend intelligence to kiss the ass of a man who has the most well documented, documented fragile ego on the Planet smart people that concede their intelligence to assuage his toddler like feelings. That's. That's the autopsy of this. I mean, that's. That's really what's so damning about the whole thing. But I also think a lot of people in MAGA are dumb. I don't want to. I don't want to not say that because I know. I know a lot of them are. Especially his son. Dumb. That's sitting there. I was going to say reading the chart. Yeah, dumb and dumb are the suns. Yeah, they are dumb. Okay, what's the next news story?

[C]

The next story. We know that TMZ has launched a D.C. bureau. They asked Lindsey Graham about his fairy wand, and now they're getting pushback from some people on Capitol Hill. Play the clip.

[D]

Seriously? You've been there three and a half days. How's it been?

[B]

I mean, where do I start? It's like I walk into a cafeteria up. Why don't you start there? Oh, my gosh. Mean people.

[A]

Mean people.

[C]

So they're not being welcomed, I guess you could say.

[B]

I love it. I think I thought that sounded like Lauren Boebert first and foremost. And I love the work that TMZ is doing. I think they need to start get like a hundred burner phones, 100 burner grinder accounts, and do the Lord's work. I mean, the Pope is carrying his part, which plot twist. I never saw that. This atheist is like, totally pro Catholic right now. And so I think we need to really get dirty. We need to be more radical in our takedown of maga. I think TMZ is doing incredible work here because Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, these people are fundamentally ass kissers. I don't even think you could say beta males. It's like a Zeta male. Pathetic people that bend the knee to this toddler.

[A]

Yeah. And it's a long time coming. You see all the salacious that goes on in Washington.

[B]

I would.

[A]

This is just. It's arrived and I'm glad it's here because these say one thing. During the day, they parade around like peacocks with all their moral, family, godly values. And then the shit they do at night would just set your hair on fire. So good for tmz.

[B]

Okay, Ryan, what's next?

[C]

Next we have an update on the ballroom. So it was pitched as, you know, a place for world leaders to meet, but it's also apparently now a military and national security imperative. Kylie, if you can pop this up. So he posts this long post on Truth Social as he does that reads in part quote, bomb shelters, a state of the art hospital and medical facilities. Protective partitioning, top secret military installations, structures and equipment. Protective missile resistance seal columns, roofs and beams, drone proof ceilings and roofs. Military grade venting and bullet ballistic and blast proof glass. The ballroom is deeply important to our national security and no judge can be allowed to stop this historic and military imperative project.

[A]

This just enrages me. This enrages me. Number one, I've heard him say, oh well, I mean we need this so badly. No we don't. The only person that needs this is you because you're going to bear burrow your fat ass under the White House and not leave. And who's going to come get you out? Nobody wanted this. We don't need this. It's money that is being wasted because his fat ass knows how unpopular he is and I believe he's going to probably drop dead in the bunker and nobody can get his fat ass out or he's going to be on life support down there. This is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

[B]

I just him feigning national security and it's just this whole presidency is so nauseating. The amount of people that are okay with this man's behavior, the amount of people that are okay with having an unhinged insurrectionist pedophile protector as President of the United States. These are it's a crime synd syndicate. The federal government is now an incompetent one led by a really bizarre, pathetic little man that has gotten too much attention his entire life and this over enabling of him has created this. And now you have these 77 million people that voted for this man. And I just, I will never, as long as I live understand how people can go. I love freedom, I love the founding documents, I love America. And then they see what he did on January 6th and all those fleabags beating up cops with fire hydrants and American flag sticks with their little Nazi flags and all their racist. And then they go and vote for this guy again. And, and so many of them have just tripled down. They just will not seat it. I mean, surprisingly though, a lot of the podcasting bros are but them too.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay, next we have, we like to say, you know, up to date on the status of Chrissy Noem. So we have an update on her role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Kylie, if you can pop this up. So new Trump Admin created quote fake government role for Chrissy Gnomes specifically to prevent her from entering the Senate race in South Dakota because they consider her a liability and don't want her to have power or influence, according to Punch Up. So Punch up is the substack of the Daily Beast.

[B]

Well, I mean, I just, I, Christy Noem, I, I, maybe she was going to run for Senate. I think my personal explanation is that he made the position for her so that she wouldn't go tattle. And then I think people in the Trump regime leaked Big Titty Brian stuff so that they could be like, look, we've got more stuff on you. You were not to tattle. As to all of the crimes that Stephen Miller told you to commit. I bet Stephen Miller is the one who outed Big Titty Brian. There's no way the federal government doesn't know that they vet people for this. Kind of like you wouldn't believe. And Big Titty Brian's out there telling this dominatrix he wants to marry her and he wants to be a trans slut and all of these things, which I want Big Titty Brian to be a trans slut if that's what he wants to be. It's a free country. I don't care. What I care about is Kristi Noem and her godly marriage and the hypocrisy and the way they demean ridicule the LGBTQ community when big Titty Brian's a freak. I mean, and I. Wave your freak flag, Big Titty Brian. I don't give a shit. It's the hypocrisy. I want to shame these hypocrites. And I'm so glad that that happened. And this is why I want TMZ to step up the work.

[A]

Agree. I mean, this was made. This story was made for tmz. Here's. I want to just add a little tidbit that I read. I read that Kristi Noem, who has been flying around on private jets with beds and doing all this crazy shit, that she is ass deep in debt and dead ass broke. And I am like, congratulations, this is exactly what you deserve.

[B]

But I've also read that she and Corin Corey Lewandowski were like double dipping on all of these. Yeah, the pay to play that they were enriching themselves. So who's your source that she's broke?

[A]

It was in an article.

[B]

Okay, so Kylie just found Found it pumps from the Independent and then AOL recycled it. Kristi Noeman, her husband wrecked up millions in debt prior to her political ascent and his bimbo vacation scandal report. So this is prior to her getting in the Trump regime. Now I have read since then that Sheen, Corey Leowski that there was a lot of pay to playay, double dipping, personal enrichment stuff going on. So it will be interesting to find out if there, if there are free and fair elections in the midterms, which I hope there are and a huge blue tsunami, the oversight committee. I want to be relentless in this. Relentless, relentless. I also read an article that big titty Brian went to rehab for 40 days. A Christian rehab. Well, that's going to help. And you know how Christy Gnome was claiming that she was blindsided by all of this? Well, this was, I think he went to rehab a few years ago, Kylie, if you'll find the article on that. And he, she would have known about it.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

He went away for like 40 days and it kind of sounded the rehab kind of like gay conversion slash. And I don't know, I mean I don't know what his sexual orientation is and I really don't care. That makes no difference to me. But he went to some godly thing which I'm sure made the big titty worse. I bet he went to rehab like a C and came out a triple D, you know, because those prey that pray the freak away or pray the gay way. Christy Gnomes cross dressing husband reportedly entered sex rehab program in January. She knew about that, I'm telling you.

[A]

Who leaked this?

[B]

My working theory. Stephen Miller leaked it.

[A]

I think it's a great theory because

[B]

she knows all because he runs DHS and so she did everything at his behest.

[C]

Okay, next we have a story about one of the remaining women in this cabinet who's not covered as much as a lot of the other crazies. Kylie, if you can pop this up. So Education Secretary Linda McMahon used AI generated photo in post honoring Ida B. Wells. And we have the photo. Kylie, if you can pop it up. So this is from Truth Social. Her posts hashtag her story in action. The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them. Ida Baptism. Ida B. Wells. She used her voice to expose injustice, defend truth and demand change. This was a time when doing so could cost her life. Ida B. Wells became one of the most influential voices against injustice in American history. Why teaching history matters. And at the bottom it notes that this photo was. It says photo by Gemini, which is Google's AI. I just thought it was interesting that the education Secretary was posting AI generated photos of, you know, well.

[A]

And also she's sitting there going, you know, this is why we need history. You are the one that wants to pull all the funding from the school. So please spare us about history. This administration is trying to rewrite history. So Linda McMahon, with all due respect, shut the up.

[B]

And she also, her husband is knee deep into sexual scandals. And it is a feature of anybody surrounding President Trump. Not a bug, a feature that they are either sexual abusers themselves or enablers, excusers and apologizers for sexual abuse. Furthermore, anybody in the Trump regime acting like they are for civil rights. Right. Is insulting upon arrival. It is a diabolical sense of gaslighting. While they on the one hand are removing civil rights displays in museums and public parks, and then she has the audacity to trot that up like she gives a. We know you're a racist, Linda. I can tell just by looking at you. But I further know that based on corroborating evidence, that you went to go work for a racist Donald Trump in the most modern day racist presidency. Like, it's insane. Donald Trump is 50, 60 years back and the, the degradation of civil rights and black history in this country is something that has always been way subpar. And now he's taking it back even further.

[C]

Yeah, and one thing I just wanted to show note For Linda McMahon, she was, prior to entering the administration, she was CEO of WWE and she made many appearances. And I just, I thought it would be unfortunate if I didn't play this clip of her from wwe.

[B]

Oh my God, please tell me her head's not like.

[C]

So if you're listening, she is being pile drived into the ground and then seemingly like unconscious on the floor.

[B]

But you know what? This is the perfect video for the Trump administration. This is exactly who they are. Look at her. It looks like she's given the guy head a blowjob upside down. Her boss is the guy who's at the UFC fight hitting on the fighter because we're in our deathbed confession era and it's just tmz work harder, get these burner counts going. Like, it's literally the most patriot patriotic thing that we could possibly do is to out the hypocrisy of all of these sanctimonious faux maga Christians who want to sit around and fight with the Pope while everybody knows what little smokey eyed JD Vance does every night. I guarantee you he goes home, he puts on red lipstick, he smudges it, he really gets the eyeliner out. He creates a smokey eye, puts a feather boa on, and he sings in the mirror. You know, he does. I can see it. I know he has A trunk in his. He's dying to do this. And I want to live in a world. I want to liberate little Smokey to be able to do this. And poor Big Titty Brian, look at what happens. You know, he's. I think he fell in love with it. An only fans model. I mean, you know, that's just Big Titty Brian. I mean, come on, you know, it's a guy that falls in love with the hooker, you know, My God, these people are just so broken. All right, one more clip I want to add to this and I want to remind everybody as Kylie finds this and gets it prepared to show the viewer that Lauren Boebert was in a screening of Beetlejuice vaping and performing a hand job on somebody. Lauren Boebert is also a big maga Christian and, you know, talks about how people should behave and all of these things. So here she is outside of Congress and she's being interviewed. I don't even know what it's about, but I thought her response was hilarious.

[A]

Yeah, go to church, find Jesus. Like, I mean, why is everybody so horny here?

[B]

I don't know, Lauren. Why is everybody so horny in Congress? Why are you so horny? Why are you giving hand jobs at Beetlejuice? Matinee? Like, what's going on there? It's just unbelievable how awful these people are. Just awful. All right, that's all we have, everybody. Have a fantastic weekend and we will see you all soon.
