So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready, one, two, three. What? Why are you laughing? The ready. Ready. So embarrassing. Ready.

It's like a cheerleader. Okay, I have to do my part. Patriots, gay, traits, they treatets, black triots, brown triots, we love you. All of the triple Trumpers, who actually still supports Trump can do what pump? Fuck all. Welcome to America's Top DEI podcast. Pumps, what do you have it with? Okay, what I've had it with.

And I know I'm going to get shit from you the minute I say this. But so I've had it with children's birthday parties that go into all hours of the night. And that trash blows all into my yard. And for two full days, I'm picking up all the shit like the candy wrappers, the balloons that popped. I mean, I understand I gave a ridiculously embarrassing, like, hang my head in shame, birthday party, third birthday for Emily. It was during the day. I scooped up all the animal shit. We had a bouncy house, a bubble guy, like a balloon guy, not a bubble guy, a balloon guy, and a bubble thing, which my dogs love the bubble thing. I'm not, I'm not against that. It went off.

Whose birthday party are you talking about? I'm lost. In my neighbor's backyard. My neighbor's birthday. Okay. Okay. Listener, you have to understand. Sometimes pops goes into a story assuming the listener knows 50%. So you're at home and you're behind neighbors with whom you share a fence.

Correct. Are having a big child rager. Yes. Okay. And then you're getting, you're getting child debris for days. Okay. And it goes late into the night. Like the kid is maybe, I remember last year, I thought it was her, I thought I heard him say it was a two year old birthday.

So now we're at three and we're going until 11 or 12 a.m. I don't think that's for her. I think that's for them. And then I cannot tell you how much my dogs, how many wreathies, pieces, those brown cups that are left afterwards, they're all over my yard. I almost feel like trash, like blue over. Anyway, I just think it's rude as fact. I think if you have a child's birthday party, it needs to end at bedtime at the latest.

Ridiculous. So I think that's terrible. I've had it with that by proxy. And you're telling me, like, their candy wrappers are in your yard? Yes, they're candy wrappers. Did you go over there and talk to them about it? No, because my dogs aren't the greatest. They're the barking dogs in the neighborhoods.

So I'm not going to, you know, and here's the deal. They're perfect neighbors except for their child's birthday every year. And they raged until 11 midnight? Yes. I mean, it's crazy. Last year I thought, what, when are they, because it's like loud music. Like we're, we are having a full one. You think they're a trip on Molly or something?

I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Is it dance music? Is it electronic? Little kids music during the day. Okay. Moves into more adult music. But kids could dance to it, I guess.

I didn't know the name of the songs, but they weren't like wet-ass pussy or anything like that. It was kind of appropriate for kid. Yeah. Yeah. That would be something, wouldn't it, if they played wet-ass pussy at the toddler party. What would they do if I got up on a ladder? What would they do if you got a bucket and a mop? Can you imagine if I just clag up there?

That could be great. Get a bucket and a mop. Uh-huh. No, I've had it with that. I think that's ridiculous. I think that's obscene. I think it's disrespectful. But here's the thing. Sometimes neighbors have parties. I think what irritates me the most about this is the age of the toddler. So little for all of this adult stuff into the evening. Like, I'm not going to throw stones if it's until, you know, like 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and they can have the clowns and the bubble machine, the balloon maker, the bouncy house, all that.

I'm fine with that. Where it gets me going is when we're still doing it late into the evening. I completely agree. I think those kids need to get to bed. I think it's reckless parenting. I think it's bad neighboring. I would be every bit as irritated as you, especially if the trash were getting into my dog's mouth. And then your dogs have a history of swallowing things they shouldn't swallow with multiple,

emergency vet visits, extractions, forced vomiting. I mean, it happens, it seems like monthly with you and one of your dogs. So I agree. I think that's insane. I think kid birthday parties are getting ridiculous. So my nephew, Joey and his wife, Madison, they just had a birthday party for my little baby nephew. And she had a step and repeat for like, you know, like for, for,

photographs and I couldn't help it. The greatest thing about Madison is she's real self-deprecating. So I text her and I go, birthday party picks look really over the top. She asked if I couldn't help myself, I go a step and repeat for a two-year-old. Seriously, she goes, oh yeah, wait till I send you the picks of the personalized juice boxes. It was so over the top. And she'll sit there and own it. She'll say it's ridiculous. It's a complete waste of money. I wouldn't have it any other way. It was all the birthday party was done for the Graham. And she will sit and own it. She will say, yeah, absolutely was done to make, you know, appealing Instagram photos.

And I appreciate that. It's the people that thirst trap that deny thirst trapping that irritate me. Oh, my two-year-old was dying for a step and repeat. My two-year-old was dying for that. It's like bullshit. Yeah, no, Madison's the coolest. She's on shit. No, she just owned it.

And I was able to go in and she was like, oh, couldn't love it enough. Wish I would have done more. All right. So, okay, let me tell you, I've been thinking a lot about how triggered and fragile MAGA people are regarding DEI. You know, it's their big thing. Like, we're against woke, we're anti-Woke, we're anti-D-EI. And so really what DEI is, diversity, equity, inclusion. It's about making sure people that are diverse have an equal shot at jobs that white people normally.

get. Well, I have a new acronym that I would like to introduce to the class, and it's I-A-I, Idiot Advancement Initiative. Because every time I see a person on the television or on my phone that is an idiot, they work for Donald Trump. Right. And they have been advanced to this job, overqualified, really qualified people because of their idiocy. And so I think we progressives need to say we oppose IAI, the idiot advancement initiatives put forth by the Trump regime because I have never seen a larger collection of idiots on display. It is unbelievable. It's breathtaking, actually. when you see J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Christy Nome, who's still the president of the shield of vaginas or something that he's given her some job for, right?

The shield of balloon tithies. Big Titty, Brian. It just goes on and on and on. And it's, they really have a policy of advancing idiots. But I blame 77 million Americans for voting for. the biggest idiot of all time. And then the buyer's remorse that they're all acting like they have right now,

it's just more than I can take. Here's the thing on the buyer's remorse. And I, you know me, I'm thinking they have learned their lesson when elections roll around. Please tell me you're not thinking that. No, no, no, no. That's where I want to move.

And then you say they would vote for Trump again. We've seen it with Megan Kelly. She will go on and on about the missteps, how horrible the ball has been fumbled. And then she says, well, it's better than the left. And I would still vote for him. So here's the saying, as much as I would like to say that, you have put me in a position where you put someone in my life, a picture of them to my face and say, would this person quadruple down, despite everything they're saying?

And in my heart, I'm like, yeah, so I don't have a lot of faith. My biggest hope for this group of people that now have buyers remorse is they just don't vote. Because I just don't trust them to not go in and make the same mistakes. So here's the thing. You bring up a good point. Here's the thing that Trump did is he got a lot of voter enthusiasm for the idiot advancement initiative. And so a lot of people came out. that had never voted before or were not super voters that may be voted randomly. And he really drove up

Republican turnout numbers. And I do think, you know, this guy, I mean, I'm no physician, but it doesn't look very good, right? You know, they remember they're like, Joe Biden's going to croak any second. And this is like, to me, worse. And I don't think Joe Biden looked lively young. It wasn't a good look. Like two years in, I was like, is he going to run again? Well, what we're like 16, 17 months into Trump, and I'm like, are we still going to let him do this shit? Like, he just sleeps on national television all the time or lies or talks about shit that nobody knows what the hell he's talking about. So I do think that the voter turnout will not be as good. But the Republicans have a really good way of scaring. I think in general, Republicans

and MAGA men and women are very fear motivated. And these people get scared. very easily. They get triggered very easily, like gay people trigger them, trans people trigger them, people speaking Spanish trigger them, women trigger them, black singers trigger them. And so they get very motivated by fear to go out to vote against these very scary things, like black person singing. But I don't know that Vance or Lil Marco or if you're if he ends up running like some family member of his, Dumber, Domer, the Sons, I don't think people are going to just go kill themselves to go over them.

Okay, so I'll tell you, watching basketball games, I have to watch commercials. I'm forced to you. I have no choice. And Oklahoma, as everyone is, is running for all kinds of offices, governor, the whole line. you would not believe these commercials. I mean, you would, honest to God, you would think that if you open up your door,

you are going to get run over by trans people, that there is going to be a march of 70 million trans people all lined up to go play sport. With machetes. With machetes. I mean, it's just, every time. I watched them, I just think, who in the fuck is stupid enough to believe any of this? And I have one guy, he is promising if he becomes Skepenter, he's going to make a Trump Institute for Science. It's like a Trump Institute and it's like science or weather. And I'm just like, are you fucking

Kid ding me. That's what we're doing. There's this one guy, this one guy that's running for governor. And here's the problem what happens in places like Oklahoma, because the Republican primary picks whoever's going to be the governor. So they all out crazy each other, and it's a race to the bottom. So there's this one guy, and his name is, let me see it here, McCall. And he basically castrates a banana on a television.

commercial. He said, let me be perfectly clear. Cutting this banana and then he does a dramatic chop does not make it an orange. What that means, I don't know. And then he says, I have a simple message for any lunatic pushing sex change for kids. And then he does another chop. And he says, you first. And here's the thing. Nobody is pushing sex change for kids, period. End of story. Kids are not getting in litter boxes at school, squatting down on all fours, getting butt naked and scratching the litter and then taking a dump and then covering said dump with their hands like their cats. It doesn't fucking happen. And if you have believed that and somebody has looked to him and said, well, I knew my cousin's friend over at such and such high school said she saw the

litter box. You're a fucking dipshit. Everybody has these phones in their hands at all time. And here's all I have to say about how fragile MAGA people are. Like, have you ever been around a trans person? Have you ever interacted with a trans person? Like, is this such a threat to your gender, your religion, your family unit that it's so fragility constructed that a trans person will completely dismantle your entire life identity and faith and family and freedom and all that shit? Like literally, it's such an indictment on these gubernatorial candidates running in Oklahoma about what pussies they are.

Yeah. That your entire political identity, family identity, religious identity can completely get dismantled because of a trans person. Like, seriously, it's such an indictment on how weak-minded these people are. Absolutely. And here's the thing. I would bet you 95% of the voters in rural Oklahoma have never even been within a hundred mile radius of a trans person. But I do want to say this.

I do think probably maybe they kind of have. And this is what I want our listener to remember. When you're in school and you're little, the phrase tomboy, a girl that is, is kind of boyish. That's very common before all of this culture war about trans people. Back in our day, sometimes people would say, if there was an effeminate boy that say, well, boy, he sure is lied in the loafers. So this kind of gender fluidity has always existed. And nobody has freaked out about it until recently. Now, obviously, you know, these things have resulted in bullying, and whatnot. But we've all kind of been around our whole lives, people that don't fit into

these binary boxes that as a society we have made up that boys all have to be this way and girls all have to be this way. There is definitely, you can all think back on it, and I'll just tell you this much. Anybody who's been to rural Oklahoma or any rural part, there's a real fine line between a cowgirl and a lesbian. You go to some boot scoot and bar. And you see one of these cowboys that's about this big and has on the tight wranglers and the big belt with the big buckle and the start shirt twirling around on that dance floor? It's giving queen. So I'm just saying we have all seen this sort of gender fluidity in all of the places imaginable. And it's awesome.

It's great. And the fact of the matter is trans people are born in. rural communities at the same percentage that they're born in big cities. I recently had on the podcast a Yale professor, Robin Dimbara. And they are a non-binary person born pumps in a very Christian family, homeschooled, went to Bible school. So by MAGA's guidance in order to avoid woke and transgender, you have to raise your children in a Republican Christian environment. Professor Robin Dembraff was raised in said environment, and they were outed after the Bible study stent, then began deconstructing, and now is one of these radical professors at Yale,

wink, wink, I say that. But by Magas logic, Robin should. be a good Christian person that would never, you know, be non-binary or trans or gay or any of these things. But that's the thing about the LGBTQ plus. The majority of the LGBTQ plus people that I know in Oklahoma had conservative Christian parents. Right. They do conservatives give birth to trans people, to gay people because nobody fucking picks it. So then you have a choice like this. asshole, what was his name, McCall. You can either be a dick about it and bully kids via your group in a tutorial campaign, or you can say, you know what?

Maybe these people are a little different than what we expect them to be, but as a person of power, I'm not going to stand on TV like a nut castrating bananas to try to scare the roobes. You know, it's just, it's fucking psychotic. But they're so ignorant. They're so, I mean, like, I can't even tell you all the trans commercials that are going on in the state of Oklahoma. And how sad is that? It's so sad.

It's so, it makes me so mad. So mad. And I'll tell you what else. And I'm like, I've looked at all the polls. I see all the poll numbers. I see Trump's policies, his approval rating. These fuckers are trying to out support Trump. Like, well, this candidate didn't support Trump's this, but I did.

I'm just like, obviously, sadly, because my first thought was, obviously, you know, their campaign managers aren't caught up or caught up on the polling and the approval rating. And then I thought, it doesn't fucking matter. Well, that's what's so sad about states like Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama. And my experience, your experience is in Oklahoma. You look no further than if you're mad at the way the government has run, it is a Republican problem. The Attorney General, the Supreme Court, the governor, the, both houses in the state

legislature, all Republicans supermajorities. You hate education, Republicans. You hate the law and order. It's all Republicans. Every bit. And as Governor Stitt, as I like to call Governor Limp Dick, as he goes on, he dedicated every square inch of that state to Jesus Christ at the very beginning of his second term. And still, high crime, high teen pregnancies, 50th in education. I don't know if that's an indictment on dedicating things to Jesus, an indictment on prayer, an indictment on, what do I call it, the idiot advancement initiative. They keep advancing these idiots to do idiotic things that just dismantle. And I just, I'm at a loss for Oklahoma and people will say, well, you should have stayed there

and fought for it. And I'm like, I fought for progressive politics in Oklahoma from the age 18 until 51. I hosted more political parties than anybody I know. I had everybody's fucking yard sign in my yard. And I finally came to the conclusion, this is what the people of Oklahoma want. And it's not that they win. like by a little bit. It is double-digit ruby red hellfire damnation idiot advancement initiatives.

And these people want to talk about trans people because they are fucking obsessed with gay shit and trans shit. And how do I know this? Because I found a little study pumps. You know where the number one place where all trans porn is consumed, Lottin, Oklahoma. they are over there watching trans porn on loop. And I don't give a shit if they do or don't. I just find it fascinating that these people are consuming these anti-trans commercials

trying to decide who is the most anti-trans dipshit that we can advance in government to dismantle more of what it's supposed to do. And then the minute they finish watching that commercial, it's Wax City on Trans porn. And that's my thing. You know, which I don't care if you want to whack off to transport. Do your thing. It's a free country. But it's just the breathtaking hypocrisy. And I just had to come back. And I hold, I'm going to tell you, I hold a lot of the churches in Oklahoma accountable for all of this. Because so many people are major church attenders. And these pastors are just total pieces of shit that perpetuate hating on people. No, I completely agree. I would link it in a large majority because you are, you hear it in your home. and then you hear it from church and then you hear it from the pastor and it just you think it's normal like well you of course you vote Republican that's what you do that's what your parents do that's what your pastor does that's what your you know your school teacher does so of course you

do perhaps I remember I watched this like 60 minutes or vice I can't remember which it was it was probably about 15 20 years ago before but probably 10 to 15 years ago before this was such a culture war issue before it was really, really exploited. And it was a woman in Alabama. And she was conservative Christian lady, kind of like, you know, exactly the way you grew up. She prayed. She did everything that she was supposed to do. She had this little boy. She lived in rural Alabama. She had this little boy, and this little boy kept telling her age two, three, I'm a girl, I want to play with this doll, I want to play. It's the only child she had. And this boy, wanted to wear dresses and do all of these things. So she, you know, they prayed. She spanked him.

She put it in time out. She did all of these things, you know, pastors over. And then finally, she got out of the church therapy and was able to go to an actual therapist. And that therapist told her, like, your child is trans. Like that, your child is telling us who it is. A church cut her off. Her family cut her off. But she said, you know, this is so painful. for me because my whole identity was a Republican Christian woman. But I'm worried that my child will kill themselves. Absolutely. And I have to be a mother first. And so she agreed to do this interview. And it was just so goes to my larger point that these conservatives that are hating on all this, that think their lives, if all you have to do is pray and, you know, God, the evangelical God

plays favorites, you know, and does personal favors. And so these people are so, narcissistic. And then because their imaginary friend is not doing personal favors for them, you have a gay child or a trans child or your child marries, you know, a black person or a brown person. And it's this diversity that protects us. It's this acceptance that protects us. Because whenever you have an homogenized group together, it just, they cook up a lot of bad ideas. A bunch of white people. That's why I don't like the suburbs very much. A bunch of white people out the suburbs at HOA. They're just cooking up bad ideas. It's not, it's not good. Diversity is a protector. It protects us. It keeps our minds open. It keeps us cooperating, which cooperation we know is an

evolutionary trait that helps with longevity. And so I, I just want all of our trans listeners, non-binary listeners and Professor Robin Dembrough. And if you didn't watch that episode, it was, I believe Sundays, it was just very, very excellent. They are an excellent speaker. Oh, perhaps they spoke about psychological captivity. And it made me think of you. Okay.

So that when you're raised with this black and white religion, it's like psychological captivity that you're kept in, that they're holding you. captive psychologically. I have their book. They brought like three or four copies on Mel you one pumps. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think you'll really, really enjoy it. But anyway, that's a long intro. Welcome to I've had it. I am a white woman named Jennifer. And I support LGBTQ plus all the letters, all the fucking letters. I don't care how long the fucking acronyms get. You will see no pearl clutching for me only support. And I,

I am very worried about the rise in anti-black racism in this country. It is at a boiling point right now. And every white listener of ours, you need to use your privilege to call out every racist motherfucker in this country. If you see a racist watching basketball, call them out. If you see them eat in a Mexican restaurant, call them out because the racism is out of control in this country right now. And these people must have white allies that fight. for the diversity that makes all of our lives better and protects us. No, I completely agree.

And it's the boiling point. What's your name? Oh, my name is Angie. Or you can call me hot stuff. Oh, I like that hot stuff. I just thought of that on the fly. That's why you're America's top podcaster. But you were just saying the boiling point.

Go back to that. I feel like the boiling point, like probably I would say, you know, several years ago, probably during Obama, so that, you know, you can mark it around there. I was like, you know, we're moving forward with, you know, gay marriage. Racism is down. Now I feel like it is even worse than I grew up. And I grew up in it and around it. Like everywhere.

And now I feel like it's more talk. it's just more toxic and worse. I don't know if it is, but that's just how I feel about it. It was bad. I mean, it was really bad, but now it just seems like everybody in positions of power and authority, they're just fucking saying it. We don't want you to fucking vote. Sit in the back of the bus.

I mean, it's just we have gone so far backwards. It's just, it really is mind-blowing in one lifetime. How far we've gone back. All right, when Angie and I started this podcast, I'm just going to be honest with you. We're pretty much incompetent. We had no idea what we were doing. And we had to set up like social media. We had to set up a merch store, all of these things. We would have been completely lost if it weren't for Shopify.

I want everyone to guess number one was trans. What was the number two talking point that I noticed on all of them? Woke. Immigration.

Obama. Really? I saw like probably 17 ads that talked about Obama. One of them had a little animated Obama puppet. What are they mad at him for? They're just still mad at him. Black while president. It's really racist.

They're just singing white president. Yeah. That was his biggest fuck up in their mind. Black while confident. Black while competent. I've got two reviews for you today. This one is five stars titled High Kicks for Lib Chicks. And she writes, this former Radio City Rocket often feels marooned and deep red OKC being forced to coexist with conservatives, evangelicals, homophobes, and racist while simultaneously fighting to secure the rights of those whose lives hang in the balance as a daily plight.

Thankfully, I have generous. and pumps to keep me good and angry. After listening to an episode, I feel ready to use my high-kicking skills to silence those deplorables. Thanks for helping me feel less lonely out here in the prairie. Oh, man, I feel for you. I love that review, that. It's so difficult.

It's so difficult. It's always been so difficult for me to live around racist and hypocrites. Like, it physically takes a toll on you. It physically really is. difficult for me to do it. So I have a lot of empathy for her. Yeah, especially because you know she lived in New York City if she was a rockette, which I just want to say, I love the Rockettes. I am just always spellbound every time there's a special. I have never seen the Rock Cats in person, but I watch all the YouTube videos and all that. It's pretty amazing to me.

How's your high kick? That's what I was about to ask. Well, since you asked, back in the day, I was a hyper-extended high kick all the way back. Like, past my ear. Yeah, back in the day. Now, now I would probably do in traction if I did it. Could you, can you do the splits? Fuck no, I can't do the splits. Could you do the splits back then?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't do like the split drop, like a Dallas Cowboy split drop, but I could get into the splits. But my flexibility is just gone to shit. That's why I like this yoga class because my teacher's mean. She's the first yoga teacher I've ever had. We never hear about the earth.

We never hear about energy, you know, all that shit. I'll be trying to do something. She's like, well, you need to spread your leg out further. And I'm like, well, I can't it? She's tight. We'll stretch it out. I mean, she'll come over there and pull the shit out of it. So I appreciate that.

So I'm anxious to get more flexible because it's bad. Okay. The last review, five stars. I've got a six-pack from laughing, and Queen Z writes, if you're struggling with an episode of depression that's darn near three years running, stress to no end, because honestly, who isn't right now? And hating this timeline and all the fools running the clown show,

this podcast is absolutely for you. A word of advice, though, if you've grown babies in your body or otherwise have an iffy pelvic floor, do not listen to this if you have to pee. Use the bathroom first. You'll thank me later. Full disclosure, I almost peed myself several times yesterday. listening to this gem of a pod.

That's so nice. Considering I peed in my pants just like two weeks ago at this podcast with Jennifer being Erica Kirk. I had three people come up to me at the gym and were like, I had no idea why Jennifer as Erica Kirk popped up on my timeline. But I've never laughed so hard in my life. This one lady was like I had tears in my eyes so much. that I was worried.

I was going to have a wreck because I was driving and it just popped up on my feed at a stoplight. And I was looking at it. Then I kept listening to it over and over. She's like, I couldn't quit laughing. That Eric Kirk shit is wild. It's just, it's crazy to me that she keeps putting herself in front of the camera saying and doing crazy shit. And then she's a victim and it's on a loop. It's like, bitch, go home.

Sit down, shut the fuck up, get a therapist. and grieve, this ain't it. Funerals with firecrackers, making out with J.D. Vance on stage, doing a video in a sniper outfit is not going to work well for you. I think Turning Point is cooked. I do, too. I think it is. I think the goose is cooked on that. Maga has been lying about their youth support, and the polling the last year has really ferreted that out. 18%. of the youth identify as Republican. And the numbers of Christianity, MAGA's always lied about, are still eroding with the youth.

And this mega-church culture with the pyrotechnics and the girls all hookered up like Erica Kirk, you know, with those long, you know, like the long nails and the long eyelashes and whatever. I mean, if listener, if you do that, good for you, swing for the fences, just as long as you're not like, okay, do you remember, I can't even believe I'm Do you remember like right after he died?

She videoed herself crying over the coffin. Yeah. That pops in my head all the time. I think about that all the fucking time too because why would you film it and post it? That's the thing. Here's the thing. And I know I say this about MAGA people and I know you respond the same way all the time. But I always am fascinated with the person taking the video that doesn't say this should be for you.

This shouldn't be for anyone else. You don't need to go out and act like such a net. Like there's, it's like all of these circles. Like nobody pulls anybody back and says, that's not a good idea. I mean, in our friendship, how many times I don't think I can count high enough of all the times. I mean, you've gone along with it some, but that I am just crazier than a shithouse rat. And I'm like, this is what I'm going to do. This is the best idea.

And you're like, that's fucking crazy. Let's put a pause on it. You know what I mean? But like there's nobody in any of these Maca circles that ever says. Because they're all fucking crazy. They're all fucking crazy. Because here's the thing, Angie. Here's the thing.

They don't tell each other the real age of the earth. So you can start there. It's all everybody believes the earth is five to six thousand years old. And that heaven and earth was made in one day. And nobody says, you know what? there's a pretty big history of science here that kind of refutes a lot of this shit. So when you start at that, that it's just magical thinking layered on top of magic thing, then you just got to go all fucking in on the crazy.

Why not? Just fucking let your crazy flag fly. Well, I do. They sure do. I have some news. So this story happened a few months ago, and it just kind of dropped off. on the new cycle. So while the gubernatorial races and a lot of the primaries,

Republican primaries around the country right now, or a race to the bottom, castrating bananas, out, you know, out hating trans people, and we all know what they're doing at night. Right. This mag of violence and intolerance that they are trying to project on the left, the left is so violent, the left is intolerant,

the left is Antifa. It's like, I am anti-fascist. Thank you. We really, it's projection on their part because it has always been the right. I mean, we're from Oklahoma City. We're Oklahoma City residents. Timothy McVeigh was a right-wing terrorist that partied and interacted in right-wing circles. And we've never really made the Confederacy, these right-wing terror groups really punish them. and said, we will not tolerate this. We always capitulate to right-wing framing, and it's bullshit. Is there violence on the left? Of course.

But it's not even comparable to the violence on the right. So some of you may remember this story. This is Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old British woman who was shot and killed by her father after they argued about Trump in January shortly before. for his inauguration. So basically, this dad and daughter get in a huge fight, Angie, about Trump. And she says, how would you feel if I was one of those girls that was sexually abused? And this is per a BBC article.

And he says, well, I have two other daughters, so I wouldn't be upset that much. And the father allegedly was an alcoholic who admitted to police that he had relapsed and drank 500 milliliters of white wine earlier in the day. and then he gets in this fight and he shoots his daughter and kills her. Kills his fucking daughter over Donald Trump. Can you imagine if a liberal shot their child over a fight about Barack Obama? And this just gets sent through the news cycle and we all feel bad for these people because we see, God, this is a cult, this is horrible, gun violence.

We see all of the things. meanwhile Stephen Miller trots out all the time that the left is so violent in all of these lies Stephen Miller is a pathological liar married to a complete fucking psycho who likes to take pictures of her baby bump Katie Miller and post him in a very weird fashion online I'll get to all of that in another episode in another day because it's really disturbing stuff

but here's a video of the police body cam footage play this She was just about to go to the airport. Who is she the office? That's our daughter. It's my daughter. Okay, okay. And we were getting ready to go the airport and we were talking about guns. And she said, you got a gun.

I said, yes, I got it out and it just went off as she stood there. Like, as I pulled it out, it went off. Okay. It must have been, obviously. Did you put the gun? Gin, I have one more thing I want to pop up that stood out to me. that stood out to me. Okay.

This is from the BBC article. It says Harrison said he had bought the gun a couple years before because he wanted a sense of security for his family, which is what every MAGA gun owner, Christian, says. I'm going to protect my family. And he killed his daughter. This just makes me so sad. And you notice this has just been filtered through the news cycle and never to be heard from again. Not only does MAGA not address this as a gun problem issue, but again, this goes back to my premise, pumps that I say all the time. Maga is an anti-family death cult.

Every single story, this is a very anti-family story. Intolerance. When you don't have diversity in your life, you don't have diversity of thought. You're not as a means of survival because of evolution, we learn to cooperate. When you're around diverse people, you have to cooperate. Great. So this is, again, I guarantee you that fucking happened in the suburbs. I guarantee it did. Kylie, would you please look into that? You get this concentration of people with no diversity of thought. And here's this girl trying to be, you know, a critical thinker of obviously she's a young woman, any young woman. And I don't, I can't speak to all of these women that suffer from all of this, you know, Stockholm syndrome internalized misogyny. But Trump is objectively very offensive. unless you're emotionally fucked up. And sadly, tens of millions of American women are emotionally

fucked up. It happened in Prosper, Texas, which is a very affluent kind of... My parents used to live in Prosper. Mm-hmm. Really? Yeah, no, it's a very affluent. Yeah. And it's, it is why. It's suburb. It is. Oh, yes. Listen, owning a home, actually owning your own home, is amazing, then all of a sudden it isn't. One minute you're sipping coffee thinking, I'm so responsible, I own property, the next minute your ankle deep in water from a burst pipe and repairs don't care about timing

and they definitely don't care about your budget. That's why I wanna tell you about a service that I use called HomeServe. Regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover a lot of the day to day, wear and tear, plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. You're often on your own for those. That's where HomeServe comes in. It's like a subscription for your home. For as little as $4.99 a month, they've got your back. Repairs hit fast and they hit hard. You could be searching for

a contractor in a panic. Or you could already be on the phone with Home Serves 24-7 hotline scheduling a repair. Last year, I had a roof leak. I was completely stressed out. I got on the horn with HomeServe. Repairs were on the way. It was the best solution imaginable. Listener, help protect your home systems and your wallet with HomeServe against covered repairs. Plans start at just $4.99 a month. Go to homeserve.com to find the plan that's right for you. That's homeserv.com. Not available everywhere. Most plans range between $4.99. to $11.99 a month, your first year. Terms apply on covered repairs.

All this stuff, first of all, I think about how many families, like we know people personally that have cut ties off with their family members because they're a member of the LGBTQIA Plus society and their parents' society, community, and they still vote for Trump. And that has hurt them so deeply. They don't speak with that parent anymore. And then it escalates all the way up to we're going to shoot them. I mean, it's story after story after story after story.

And it's just you get so wrapped up in your head that I have to protect this at all costs. I have to defend it. I'm going to do whatever I can. For this fucker to say, well, if one of my other, you know, I have one kid that's molested, the other two aren't. I mean, this guy's fucked up from jump. But it's just there is a, if you go across a continuum, shooting your child because they disagree with you about Trump is on one extreme. But there are also, when you will not see your parents because they vote against you, you're entitled to that. You have every right to be heard about that.

It's truly heartbreaking how many families have broken up because the parents can't stand for their children. children. They pick some dip shit over their children. And so it just makes me really sad. I mean, and my mom and I, we don't talk on a deep level, but the only like knock down, drag out fights we've had have been over the politics of this man. And it's just, it's such a cancer. Well, and I think that the problem with all of this is, is there's so much subconscious messaging in all of this. And the fear, probably a reason why you don't tiptoe too deep into conversations with your mother, is because you know if she can dehumanize and hate black people. She outwardly opposes interracial marriage. She outwardly doesn't care for anybody who doesn't think the

exact same way she does and faces any sort of diversity of thought with utter judgment, cruelty, hellfire, damnation. Subconsciously as a child, you would have to think, well, she can do that to somebody else. She could do that to me. And so it's too painful to proceed for, I mean, I think, if your parent is capable of such conditional love for mankind, like your mother only conditionally loves people, not unconditionally. Then you know that brokenness is in that. them and then that brokenness can come for you. Fortunately for you, you're a white, heterosexual woman, but had you married a black man, been a lesbian, it would have been a long tumultuous road because your mother is programmed like so many Americans to think in a very

black and white worldview and not. in an inclusive, unconditional type of way, but they lead with hate. It leads with judgment. And proud to be a black and white thinker. Proud of that. I mean, if I said, you only see the world in black and white. If I said that to her, she'd be like, you're absolutely right. You're goddamn right, I do. I mean, she would be like, you're absolutely right. So it's too painful. I mean, I think it's probably too painful to go forward. But I also think on her part, it's too painful because if she opens that subject, she knows

at this point of my life, I will tell her and she does not want to hear that. It's easier to be news brother sports. That's what I think on her end. Well, also, I think you're probably in her mind. Like, what I'm so proud of you for, she's, you're like the biggest failure for. I'm so proud that you came from being. like this Christian, flirted with racism, homophobia, to, like, growth and evolution and acceptance.

And that's like, oh, my God, that's incredible. So the thing that I'm, like, so proud of you for your mother, is like, that's, like, the biggest failure imaginable that you would be an ally. But, you know, here's the thing. I was thinking the other day, if one of my kids, like, got a job in the Trump administration, Let's say went off and became like a, I don't know, a lackey at the White House. And they just loved Trump. I mean, that, I don't, it would be so hard for me.

That would be the failure that I would feel the heartbreak that they were doing that. It would be, I would be so devastated. Now you know how your mother feels. That's what I'm saying. Did I look at her? And I think, I can't. kind of feel sorry for because she thinks I'm the antichrist in every way. Yeah.

Now, I would feel like an abject failure. If one of my sons went to work for a misogynist administration like that, because I've raised them explicitly differently, purposefully differently, and identified what misogyny is, identified what platforms and really, really, as a family, we try to always understand and grow and evolve regarding anti-black racism and being really good allies. These are conversations we have all the time as a family that Josh is is so good about these things. And I would just feel like I really failed. I would feel like I raised a sociopath. I really would. Yeah. All right. That was uplifting. Yeah. We are just full of fun. No wonder these people peeve their

pants. We are just so uplifting and funny. All right. Listen, I have a. a book that is coming out in October. It is called Not Today Fascist, The Lies That God Us Here and the Truth that Will Reunite Us. And I have a secret. Every time it says the truths that will reunite us, in my mind, I want to say the truth that will set us free. And I've done it multiple times. And the people with the publishing company are like, no, you named it the truths that

will reunite us. But I was going to say the truth that will set us free. But please, it's down in the link, but it really helps. to pre-order. It helps to support our channel. Make sure you're subscribed here. We also have the political podcast. This is, believe it or not, this I think is pop culture politics what we talked about today. This is not policy politics. Yeah, pop culture. I like it because I don't really know anything about pop culture other than this area. But you can go follow us on IHIPP news as well, and we will be back later. We have podcasts that drop all the time. Just find us somewhere.

We're never too far. When you said I've got a secret about your book, I leaned in like you were telling me secret. All right. Bye, Pumps.
