Title: Trump Visibly Shaken By Non-Stop Booing, Dems Fold to End MAGA Shutdown?
Date: November 10, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan (IHIP News)

This episode centers on progressive outrage over Democratic leadership’s response to the government shutdown, with a fiery critique of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ("Chuckles") for what is seen as a capitulation to Republican and Trump-aligned interests. The hosts analyze the Senate’s approval of a continuing resolution (CR) with significant health care repercussions, highlight the American public’s rejection of Trump at a high-profile event, and spotlight calls for stronger leadership within the Democratic Party.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fury Over Democratic Leadership & Schumer’s Role

• Angie Sullivan launches a passionate, critical assessment of Chuck Schumer, repeatedly calling him “impotent” and “pathetic” for allegedly failing to whip Democratic Senators into a unified voting block against the Republican-backed CR.

  • “Unfortunately, we have Chuck Schumer, the Cowardly lion, who we refer to as Chuckles, who again proved he is a terrible leader. He cannot beat the moment. He is impotent and he needs to step aside.” (Angie, 00:01)
  • She denounces Schumer for prioritizing reopening government over securing healthcare protections: “You sold the American people down the river...You completely knowing this, did it anyway. And you suck. Chuckles, step aside.” (Angie, 02:10–02:45)

• Comparison to Republicans: Angie expresses disappointment that while she expects "corruption and failure and impotent leadership" from Trump and the Republican Party, she demands real leadership from Democrats who, in her view, are failing to fight for vulnerable Americans.

• Contrast with Hakeem Jeffries: Jeffries, House Democratic leader, is praised for his ability to keep his caucus united—something Schumer is accused of failing spectacularly.

2. The Human and Political Cost of Senate’s Vote

• Guest appearance from Sen. Bernie Sanders underscores the episode’s policy focus. Sanders voices grave concerns about the ramifications:

  • “Eight Democrats voted with the Republicans…this was a very, very bad vote. What it does…is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans by doubling and in some cases, tripling or quadrupling…paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act…Studies show that will mean 50,000 Americans will die every year unnecessarily.” (Bernie Sanders, 04:01–04:52)

• Angie supports Sanders’ claims with polling data, reiterating that the GOP is responsible for the shutdown and economic fallout, yet Democrats failed to hold the line when public opinion was on their side.

3. Desperate Call for New Democratic Leaders

• Both Angie and Jennifer urge Schumer’s resignation, arguing that Democratic Senators should directly demand he step aside. They name Rona and Chris Murphy as stronger alternatives:

  • “The first person in politics to come out against Chuckles was Rona…Agree 100% with Rona. Chuckles caved on the last continuing resolution. He Caved again. He needs to step aside.” (Angie, 03:40)

• Sen. Chris Murphy is highlighted for openly opposing the CR:

  • “Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in crushing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That's why voting for Trump's continuing resolution without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality [is a] mistake. I voted no.” (Chris Murphy, Quoted by Angie at 05:02)

• Angie passionately calls for “fighters” and “strength of conviction,” fed up with what she characterizes as empty gestures and reverence for Senate seniority.

4. Trump’s Public Shaming – Symbolic Rejection

• The episode pivots to a viral moment where Trump is loudly booed at a Washington Commanders game:

  • “You hear the bears, it's non stop billing. Can't even hear him because they're booing so loud. And I just want to point out that went on for over two minutes. That stadium booed Trump for over two minutes.” (Angie, 08:05)

• This incident is presented as proof of Trump’s growing unpopularity, in contrast with polling data showing that, outside “core cult members,” his base is shrinking.

• Angie notes Trump’s visibly shaken reaction—“he packed up his toys and went home”—illustrating his inability to handle public dissent.

5. The stakes of “Caving” to the MAGA Agenda

• Angie sharply criticizes “Moses Mike Grinder Johnson” (Speaker Johnson) for enabling Trump and calls out the dangerous implications of Democratic weakness.

  • “His [Johnson’s] lips [are] plastered on on Trump's ass. And it depends on the Democrats. And right now we have a failure in leadership in the Democratic Party.” (Angie, 09:40)

• Repeatedly, she links the Democrats’ willingness to fold to increased Republican authoritarianism and a growing risk to American democracy and public health.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Angie on Schumer’s failures:

  • “You are not leading the fight. You are leading the cave. You are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.” (01:10)
  • “If you can't lead the fight to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?” (03:20)

• Bernie Sanders on Senate vote:

  • “First of all, [the CR] raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans by doubling and in some cases, tripling or quadrupling ... it paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act ... some 50,000 Americans will die every year unnecessarily.” (04:01–04:51)

• Chris Murphy (via Angie):

  • “Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in crushing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing... I voted no.” (05:02)

• On Trump at the stadium:

  • “You hear the bears, it's non stop billing. Can't even hear him because they're booing so loud... That stadium booed Trump for over two minutes.” (08:05)

Overall Tone and Takeaways

The episode is a cathartic, searing critique of Democratic leadership, especially Schumer, for perceived weakness and betrayal at a critical moment. The hosts blend exasperation, dark humor, and political analysis to urge a new generation of “fighters” in their party—leaders more willing to stand up to Trump and the MAGA faction’s extremism. With pointed references to real Congressional dissenters (Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, Rona), the podcasters challenge listeners to reject seniority politics and demand conviction and action, all while connecting the stakes of political leadership directly to the lives and well-being of millions of Americans. The episode closes with a promise of further news and “mad as hell” commentary—particularly from Jennifer, who is teased as preparing for an even more heated segment.
