Welcome to IHIP News. Pumps is still on vacation. Josh is subbing in and we have some piping hot, juicy MAGA tea. Get ready to inject this into your veins. Okay, so MAGA is breaking out into a civil war and Trump hasn't even been sworn in. And here's how it goes down. Everybody knows that Trump ran as we're going to round up all the immigrants, America first, no immigrants, get them out of

here. Day one, mass deportation, signs at the RNC, mass deportations now. Well, last week, Donald Trump appointed a venture capitalist named Saram Krishman to be a policy advisor in his administration. And he wants to remove a cap on green cards so that companies can hire more skilled immigrants. And you may remember that MAGA is all about universities are woke. Don't go to universities. Elon Musk is like, college education is overrated. And now they're all like, wait, Americans are too stupid and lazy and we have to import smart people to come in. And so the racist MAGA base is going bananas. Steve Bannon is just wound up like a cheap clock. Laura Loomer's attacking Elon Musk.

It is juice central. Isn't that par for the course that you get this big grift, you get Donald Trump, you get all these people telling you that they're anti-immigration. They don't want to let anyone in this country, whether it's HB1 visa under any circumstances. And then you slowly see once they win the popular vote, once they win the vote of the people, they then transition that into thinking, wait a second, my field in my company, I think I would rather have this educated, intelligent, smart person from India. Well, and here's the thing. MAGA, BASE, they don't want Indians here. They want those jobs to go to Americans. And here's the thing. MAGA, base, they don't want Indians here. They want those jobs to go to Americans. And here's the thing. We're telling Gen Z the job market is so bad. They are saddled

up with student loans. They did what they were supposed to do. They got a college education. But the musks of the world don't want to hire Americans. And the MAGA base is like, wait, it's America first. And so the MAGA supporters are so mad and the racism is coming out big time. Do any of the MAGA supporters own and operate large, successful companies? They probably don't know that, wait a second, the citizens, most of the people in our country aren't qualified. Well, I think that there probably are a lot of qualified U.S. citizens that could do these jobs, but the Elon Musk's want indentured servants. They want to own these people when they come over here so that they can only work for their company. And they're able to talk to now the Elon Musk and the Vivek Ramaswamy are able to talk to white people.

Somebody said on Twitter, Vivek talked to white people the way white people talk to black people. And they fucking did not like it. Laughing my ass off. And so you have these MAGA oligarchs now talking to the MAGA base saying, don't go to college. College is woke. College is overrated. And they're saying, wait a minute, you guys are too lazy and stupid and we can't hire you. So rightfully, they're mad.

And Elon Musk is just going bananas on Twitter. Absolutely bananas. He tweets this. The number of people who are super talented engineers and super motivated in the USA is far too low. Think of this like a pro sports team. If you want your team to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be.

That enables the whole team to win. This is back to this echoing of trickle-down economics. And so if you're a MAGA base and you've been sold this trickle-down economics your whole life, which we all know doesn't work, but you've been sold that, and then the trickle-down gets to these foreign visa green card holders to come over here, you're not really getting any of the trickle from a man who's not even American, who's South African, that tells you how screwed up our economy is, that he's able to come to the United States on one of these visas, and now he's worth $400 billion and bought, owns, and walks Donald Trump around on a leash.

And I think there's some merit to the fact that by allowing these HB1 visa employees to come to the United States, I assume that they're also driving down the cost for these jobs because we're allowing people to come over here instead of hiring within. And like you said, to a certain extent, we control your citizenship once you're here based on your work and we can hire labor for a cheaper price. And so it has also, but it's interesting to see the dynamics at play. You see Nikki Haley and these other staunch conservatives that are opposing Elon Musk. It's like grab the popcorn, sit back and watch the show. So then this very popular right wing Twitter starts calling the right wing, the far right MAGA, he starts calling them the R word right. And basically he's calling them the R word.

And this is Trump's base. These are the people that went and took a shit in the Capitol on January 6th. These are the diehard Trumpers. And Elon Musk retweets this where they use disparaging language. And he says that pretty much sums it up. And so then he starts taking away the verified check marks of the people who are attacking him for this. And then he sends out this tweet. Elon Musk, who's from South Africa, who came over here on one of these visas, who's now the richest man in the world who bought Donald Trump says, the reason I'm in America, along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H-1B. Take a big step back and fuck yourself in the face.

I will go to war on this issue, the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend. Wow. Well, so what does Donald Trump say about that? He's somewhat siding with Elon Musk on this issue? Or is he telling a lie? Funny you should ask. Donald Trump accidentally posted a DM on his public truth social page. And the DM was meant for Elon Musk.

And here is what CNN had to say about that. Where are you? Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. When are you coming to the center of the universe? Mar-a-Lago, Bill Gates asked to come tonight. We miss you and X. X is obviously how Musk refers to his son. When I talked to Trump's advisors, I learned that it was in fact an apparent message for Elon Musk, which altogether is pretty funny. But look, we did learn a few things from this. One is that the bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is clearly still alive and well. But also, he is still supporting Elon Musk after all of the backlash we've seen this week with Musk defending H-1B visas and his support for high-skilled foreign

workers, but also after some of the backlash we saw as well from Democrats and others kind of taunting Musk and Donald Trump, arguing that he is actually the one calling the shots, especially after that whole spending fight fiasco we saw play out last week on Capitol Hill. OK, so he tries to message him. Where are you? When are you coming back to the center of the universe? Meanwhile, I'll tell you exactly where Elon Musk is. He's telling Americans don't get a college education. It's woke.

There's a woke mind virus at play. And then he's going, hey, you guys are dumb, lazy idiots. And I have to import people to work for me because y'all are so stupid and lazy. And Trump, 100%, as we have all known, doesn't give a shit about his base. And now he has what he believes are the cool friends. He has the billionaire friends. And so here he is clearly dementia or somehow compromised where he is sending a DM that gets published on his quack website. That is our president of the United States. Is that right? And I want to make sure I heard this

right. So in that CNN clip, she was giving us an update, so to speak, on the president-elect and his, quote, bromance with the billionaire. That's up-to-date breaking news that we're hearing on one of the major networks. Okay, that kind of says everything. But let me ask you this. So what is Elon Musk's ulterior motive here? What's his bottom line? Is it that he can get these skilled workers over here on an HB1 visa and pay them less than you could pay qualified Americans?

Yes. That's the end game. That's one thing. is everybody is using Trump as a useful idiot from Putin to Musk to all of these other oligarchs that he's appointed. Trump is intellectually lazy. Trump is a malignant narcissist. And so Trump is just out here and everybody walks him like the little dog that he is from Putin to Musk. And here's a very important issue. Putin has an oligarchy in Russia and he has started to silence the media. We all know what he did to Navalny. We all know all of the abuses and human rights violations that are going down in Russia.

We find out that over the last two to three years, Musk and Putin are having private conversations all the time. I believe that we have to really look deeply into this. There is an oligarchical, if that's the correct word, takeover by the globalists. This is what Steve Bannon and all of these far-right MAGA people preach about nonstop, the globalists, the globalists, the globalists.

Well, who are they? Who are the globalists? Well, it's Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin. And who's their useful idiot? It's Donald Trump. And this is where the Democrats have momentum right here. I've been watching too much Steve Bannon lately. And the reason why is because I

want to see what the reaction to this stuff is. He constantly talks about the dangers of oligarchy with all of his other crazy bullshit, but oligarchies and corporate power, because he knows that this populist economic message is so big in the United States that you can go for all across all 50 states and you can get people on board because everybody's been dicked over by a corporation. Everybody's had an insurance claim denied. And so Steve Bannon is drumming this. The problem is for years, whether you're center right or far right, they believe in this bullshit, short-sighted, trickle-down economics that doesn't work. The Democrats have a major, major opportunity here to come in and start labeling far, far, a lot, lot more and a lot more aggressively what a little puppet and how weak Donald Trump

is that he's sending Elon Musk DMs and he's so demented that he accidentally posted on his public page. And all of these racist, maggot people were like, hey, hire Americans. And all the people surrounding Trump were like, yeah, you guys are lazy and like jocks too much and you don't like nerds and you're stupid. What's an interesting dynamic? Trump has shown everyone is if it comes down to choosing his base, the people that elected him versus choosing access to money, we know exactly what he's going to choose. He's gotten what he has needed out of the base. He's gotten their vote. And now he's entertained and he's impressed by money. And he's always shown that, though, hasn't he? Hasn't back to his early days,

the bottom line for him has been about money. So I think in this particular case, it's going to be an easy call for him. He's going to side with his rich buddies. To another point that you made, the interesting part of this globalism that's not going to resonate well in America is that as Americans, most of his base have this idea of American supremacy, how we're the greatest country in the world. We're great at this. We're great at that. You know, America this, America that. So that mentality or that sort of philosophy to sort of unify the world or an oligarchy, as you said, with other leaders, that's not going to play well here as far as integrating us with other countries.

Well, and here's the thing. The MAGA base was lied to, and they've been lied to for a very long time. One could even argue for decades. Immigration is a huge part of our economy. And the reason that post-COVID, the United States was predicted to go into a huge recession. All of the economists thought we would. Joe Biden did a phenomenal, phenomenal recovery job, but he just does his job and then he doesn't take victory laps. But the reason that the United States had the lowest inflation and then had a good economy coming out of COVID was because of Democratic policies.

The Democrats just don't take their victory lap. And a huge part of COVID was because of Democratic policies. The Democrats just don't take their victory lap. And a huge part of that was because of immigration. A lot of the job creation was because of immigration. And the Democrats need to sell this. Now, on the H-1B visas, obviously, we do want smart people to come here and work, but it does need to be monitored. There need to be monitored. There need to be regulations for these poor little MAGA people that don't like any brown blood whatsoever. And we all know Trump's a racist, and that's why they identify with him. I think you have a situation where the MAGA base

doesn't understand the value of immigration. And they have been told by Donald Trump, mass deportations, America first, America is for Americans and Americans only is what Stephen Miller said at that Nazi MSG rally. And here is Donald Trump wanting to remove the cap on green cards and allow all of these foreign workers to come over here. And he has a huge, huge problem on his hands because he has fed, cultivated, nurtured, watered, tucked in, rocked, and soothed this racism in his base. And they have an appetite for the cruelty of it.

And then come to find out all of these billionaires are like, you lazy MAGA people. You're too dumb. You're too stupid to be hired. Don't even go to college. Just say, stay stupid and let us handle all the big boy stuff. And they're pissed. Well, the interesting part will be watching him walk the tightrope between his base, MAGA, the people that voted for him, all of these people that vote against their own financial interest, and his billionaire friends that are going to advocate for policies that are in the

opposite of those people. So you're going to see him toe in this line. My bet is going to be that he opts for the money, the billionaire buddies. He will, because Donald Trump, if one thing we know about him and our friend Michael Cohen has told us this, the adjective to describe him is transactional. Makes perfect sense. All right, guys, we'll see you later.
