I thought it was impossible to out stupid or out crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene. But I have discovered this congresswoman. She's popped up from time to time. Her name is Harriet Hagman, of course. She's a MAGA thumper, a triple trumper. And this video you're about to see is one of the more breathtakingly stupid videos I've seen since 2016. And that is the lowest bar imaginable. Play the clip.
Harriet Hageman
A variety of reasons, but I think another reason why we should change this to the Gulf of Mexico of America versus the Gulf of Mexico is for over 40 years, the country of Mexico has been dumping raw sewage into the area near San Diego, California. And the head of the epa, Lee Zeldin, was just there approximately two weeks ago. I was just in San Diego, San Diego, meeting with some folks down there and they described the situation. It's absolutely a horrific, horrific situation. It is an environment catastrophe and disaster created. And the country of Mexico absolutely refuses to address it and fix it and has been fouling our waters for decades upon decades. It needs to be resolved. But that is another reason why we need to retake and claim ownership of this area and make sure people do know that it is the Gulf of America. We should not be rewarding Mexico for their bad acts. And that's just one example.
Unknown Host 1
That sounds like a. I just. I can't deal with this level of stupidity. There is a person that is a congressperson of the United States of America that doesn't understand that San Diego abuts to the Pacific Ocean.
Unknown Host 2
She doesn't. I mean, she went hard.
Unknown Host 1
She went hard in the paint. And I just can't. Like, I remember when my kids were in, like, third or fourth grade helping them with their homework, and we're studying where the oceans are, right? Like, this is just not rocket science. This is basic elementary school education. And MAGA is so stupid. And, you know, I saw on Twitter, and I think that this is so true. All of the people that want to name the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America have never been within 50 miles of their hometown.
Unknown Host 2
Oh, that's a great point. They stay right where they are. No outlook pass just right what's in front of their noses. God, she's bad. She could hardly. She was hardly intelligible when she spoke.
Unknown Host 1
Anyway, speaking of stupid people within the MAGA universe, demon queen Scott. Betty. And it really gets under my skin. And I just want to walk you through this whole China thing. So the United States starts a tariff war with China. China's like, you do what you want, you need us way more than we need you. You've always been a problem for us. And so they're not bending, they're not returning phone calls, they're not returning emails. It's Heartbreak Hotel over in Washington D.C. and all the MAGA people are acting like Trump lies. Other Colin, we're talking to them all the time. We talk to China all the time. Yeah, they, they want dying to make a deal. They can't live without us, blah, blah, blah. Well, here's demon queen Scott Bessant. I call him a demon queen because this man is an out of the closet homosexual that enjoys a marriage, a legal marriage to his partner and has children. Yet he votes with and serves for an administration that wants to make it illegal for men like him to have children and illegal for men like him to be married. Therefore, he is from this day forward going to be referred to as Demon Queen Scott Bessant. All right, play the clip. Secretary, let's fast forward a year. Where do you see the US with respect to tariffs and the overarching strategy? Mr. Chairman, this will be path dependent on our trade partners. As I've said Before, there are 18 very important trading relationships we are currently negotiating with 17 of those trading partners. China, we have not engaged in negotiations with as of yet. There you have it. China is not talking to the United States and they're not going to talk to the United States because we're like a little over 10% of their entire economy. And it's amazing to me that a lot of Chinese businessmen, a lot of Chinese academics and just people with a normal sense of intelligence are mystified that MAGA wants to take the United States back into the dark ages. Like we're going to use coal and we're firing all the experts. The reason that your iPhone works, MAGA, is because of academics, right? And we have, we are launching a war on all of the research and happens at all these universities. And so the fact that we're seeding the innovative edge and being an innovative nation and an economy that favors this is jaw dropping to most people in the world. And this demon queen, I mean, here he is, he has to tell the truth. Nobody in China wants to talk to any of them. We've been disrespectful, rude, lying liars and started a pissing match for no damn good reason whatsoever.
Unknown Host 2
Right? Trump just took a bomb and put it, just let it go into the global economy. But what I find interesting about this is all of the Trump sycophants are out There. Oh, yeah, China's calling. China's that China always comes back and says, we're not calling. They're lying. So I think Scott Bessant, he knew that if he lied, China was going to call them out because Trump's like, oh, yeah, they're calling. And China's like, no, we're not. We're not calling.

All right, next up, we have Stephen Miller, who Ron Philip Kowski with the Midas touch calls either Stephen German or German Miller or Pee Wee German. Because Stephen Miller, of course, loves all things Nazi Germany. And sometimes he starts saying the quiet part out loud. And he is the chief propagandist at the White House. There's no question about it. But here he is propagandizing, and I think there's a lot of bread crumbs to read in here. Play the clip.
Stephen Miller
People in this country, as President Trump has said, who will do nothing with their lives but rape, maim, and murder, they cannot be rehabilitated. They cannot be saved. They cannot be coached in some better way of living. They are always going to hurt, they are always going to steal, they're always going to attack. And we need a place in this country where we can send people to visually demonstrate their total separation from society, the fact that they're not going to live among us and will never live among us.
Unknown Host 1
Okay, where he said visually demonstrate. You know, if you think about maga, all they talk about is just like all of these violent criminals everywhere. And so all of these people that watch Fox News sit around and they think, oh, my God, I can't go outside. There's all these violent criminals everywhere, and it's violent crime is down. You know, the biggest way that we could stop a lot of violent crime would be to tackle the gun issue, to tackle the poverty issue. When people live below the poverty line, crime increases. But they don't want to do that. They love the optics of incarceration porn. This is something that really turns on the base. They love the idea of locking people up and parading around criminals. This is a real Old Testament style administration, in my opinion.
Unknown Host 2
Yes. And when he is describing, describing who they're going to put on Alcatraz, I'm like, you're describing Donald Trump, your dear leader felon, criminal. What? Everything he said, there were like three words that described Trump perfectly. I was like, put Trump on there. And Stephen Miller is the most diabolical.
Unknown Host 1
Oh, he's awful. Okay, next up, in order to have the coup go all the way over the finish line, they have to Purge the military. Put up this tweet. So Natasha Bertrand tweets. Secretary of Defense Hegseth has ordered senior Pentagon leadership to cut the number of four star generals and admirals by at least 20% across the military, according to a memo signed by Hexeth dated Monday and obtained by cnn. Dan Winslow responds to this. This is a targeted program to remove generals and admirals and other military officers that do not align politically with Donald Trump. This way, if they ever declare martial law or invoke the military to break the law, there will be little to no resistance from non Trumpers.
Unknown Host 2
This is so terrifying. And it answers the question, why is Pete Hegseth still the Secretary of Defense with all of the intelligence that he has compromised? And now we know. Because if they want to turn the military on US Citizens, Pete Hegseth is all for it.
Unknown Host 1
Yes. And I think that Pete Hegseth is the guy that will weed out any, any person in the military that has taken an oath to the Constitution, and he will make sure that everybody is taking an oath to Donald Trump. And if you think about how disrespectful that is to the military, to the country, to the intelligence of human beings at large, it's, it's staggering. And it's so problematic that so many Americans believe that this is somehow patriotic, right? That, that they would rather worship this con man criminal than serve the country at large. But lastly, I want to bring up something. Pop up this headline. Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence receives the JFK profile. Encourage. And I have some mixed feelings about this kind of stuff. And this kind of reminds me of when Kamala started trotting around with Liz Cheney. Was it a profile in courage or was it self preservation? The mob was saying, hang Mike Pence. They wanted to kill him. He had zero courage anywhere at any point in his career until they wanted to kill him. Then he finds courage. And I just have a problem with giving awards to people for doing the right thing thing and making it like it's such a novel thing. It's such to uphold the Constitution. Now we've made it like it is this extraordinary thing to uphold the Constitution. And does that in a way lean into the MAGA narrative that it's such an outlier to uphold the Constitution. And so I just, I, I have a problem. Mike Pence and all of Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney, all of them, all of them are 1,000% in on Trump. They want all the same shit he wants. They're just not so tacky about it. Mitch Mcconnell's every bit is racist and homophobic and worshiper of capitalism demeans the poor as Trump is. He just wants to be more decent about it, a little bit more quiet about it. There's very little separation in what these people believe than what they believe with and what Trump believes. It's just the style of executing it. This isn't as civilized for them. They want to be civilized. Racists hoodwink the public a little more. So I have a little bit of a problem with this. I think when Democrats are promoting these people for doing what's the burden on Democrats all the time? 24 7, 365 we're having a parade for Mike Pence. I just am a little off on that.
Unknown Host 2
My takes a little bit different. I look at Mike Pence and I think he had zero courage the entire time he was in office. What he was not willing to do was break the law and go against the Constitution. For a public servant, that should be the lowest of bars, that should be the floor. Unfortunately, now we are in a situation where breaking the law and corruption is, I mean, they're outdoing each other in the Trump administration to see who can break the law more, who can go against the Constitution. So we're having to reward Mike Pence for, like you said, doing the right thing. For me, it's, it just shows me how corrupt and illegal the actions are of the Trump administration.
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. And I just, I mean, this is an award from the JFK center. And so I, I just, I take issue with that. These are the people that were lifting up, people that are homophobic, people that are racist, people that do not want to raise the living wage for human beings, that demonize immigrants. But he on one issue found Jesus on Trump and we're giving him the Profile and Courage award. I'm out on that. I'm out on that. I don't think that this is the person that should receive this award from the JFK Institute or whatever it is. I just think this is a dangerous play that Democrats do to try to get voters that are never, ever, ever going to vote for Democrats to vote for them. And I just, to me it's so off putting because I remember all of the horrible things that Mike Pence has said about my gay friends and trans people. And to me that's a window into your soul. And he has never corrected the record on any of that. He's still just that dark and just that ugly and just that homophobic and just that racist and uses his religion to justify the rich not paying taxes, so the poor live poor and then get demonized by the same people that he wants to enrich. And I just think it's a moral failure across the board. So, yeah. Did he. Did he not vote to, you know, subvert democracy? Well, that was your fucking job, right?
Unknown Host 2
That's your.
Unknown Host 1
That's the least job. So, you know, everybody's like, well, everybody gets a trophy. Well, I'm like, why the fuck is Mike Pence getting a trophy? He was all chips in on all this shit right up until the fact that they wanted to kill him, right? And then that did it. So I just. I take issue with a lot of that because I think the Mike Pences are more insidious, right? I think their homophobia is a lot more insidious because it's a little more civilized, it's a little more quiet. Gives white people a little bit more courage to keep voting that way. And so I think it's just a dangerous precedent to start awarding Liz Cheney and Mike Pence's participation trophies for participating in decency. Right? Yeah.
Unknown Host 2
We're upholding the law, all right.

IHIP News Episode Summary
Title: Whoa! Trump’s Own Team Forced to Admit His Lies Under Oath!!
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Release Date: May 6, 2025
Introduction
In the May 6, 2025 episode of IHIP News, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan delve deep into the tumultuous political landscape dominated by Donald Trump and his allies. Amidst a predominantly red state backdrop, Jennifer and Angie offer their unfiltered, comedic, and feel-good perspectives on recent political upheavals, focusing particularly on the implications of Trump’s team being compelled to acknowledge his falsehoods under oath. The episode is a spirited exploration of the ongoing battles within the MAGA universe, highlighting key figures and controversial developments.
Harriet Hageman's Controversial Claims
The episode kicks off with Jennifer critiquing Congresswoman Harriet Hageman, drawing parallels to the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene. At [00:04], Jennifer introduces Hageman as a "MAGA thumper" and labels her remarks as "breathtakingly stupid." Hageman’s assertion to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is dissected, where she claims Mexico has been dumping raw sewage near San Diego, an allegation Jennifer vehemently disputes.
Jennifer and Angie express frustration over Hageman's lack of geographical knowledge, emphasizing that San Diego borders the Pacific Ocean, not Mexico's Gulf. They criticize MAGA supporters for their perceived ignorance and narrow focus, highlighting a disconnect between their rhetoric and factual understanding.
Scott Bessant and the China Tariff War
Transitioning from domestic politics, the hosts address the strained trade relationship between the United States and China. They spotlight Scott Bessant, whom Jennifer derogatorily refers to as "Demon Queen Scott," criticizing his stance and actions within the administration. Bessant’s reluctance to engage in meaningful negotiations with China fuels Jennifer’s anger, as she argues that MAGA policies are detrimental to America’s economic and innovative standing globally.
Jennifer contends that Bessant and his allies are undermining the nation’s progress by stifling essential trade partnerships and promoting regressive policies that harm both the economy and America’s position in the world.
Stephen Miller's Incendiary Remarks on Crime
The conversation shifts to Stephen Miller, a prominent Trump advisor known for his hardline views. Jennifer condemns Miller's recent statements advocating for extreme measures against criminals, reflecting on the broader MAGA narrative that exacerbates fear and supports punitive justice.
Jennifer and Angie criticize the administration's focus on incarceration over addressing root causes of crime such as poverty and gun control. They argue that this approach not only fails to solve underlying issues but also perpetuates a cycle of violence and repression reminiscent of outdated, "Old Testament style" policies.
Purge of the Military Leadership
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing a controversial move within the Pentagon. Natasha Bertrand’s tweet reveals that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered a reduction of senior military leadership by 20%, targeting those not aligned with Trump. Jennifer interprets this as a strategic purge to ensure absolute loyalty within the military, thereby minimizing resistance in the event of a military coup.
Jennifer and Angie express deep concern over this potential undermining of the military’s integrity and constitutional allegiance, portraying Hegseth as a figure willing to sacrifice institutional loyalty for political gain. They warn of the dangers posed by such actions, fearing a military unwilling to defend democratic principles.
Mike Pence’s JFK Profile of Courage Award
The episode culminates with a heated debate over former Vice President Mike Pence receiving the JFK Profile of Courage award. Jennifer and Angie scrutinize this honor, arguing that Pence’s actions during the Trump administration were anything but courageous, labeling him as complicit in undermining democracy.
They argue that honoring Pence sends a dangerous message, legitimizing individuals who they believe have perpetuated discriminatory and harmful policies. The hosts express frustration over celebrating figures they view as morally and ethically bankrupt, contending that such accolades are politically motivated attempts to sway voters.
Conclusion
Throughout the episode, Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan offer a scathing critique of Trump’s inner circle and MAGA supporters, highlighting what they perceive as a systematic dismantling of democratic institutions and societal progress. By dissecting controversial statements and political maneuvers, the hosts aim to expose the underlying issues threatening the nation’s integrity.
