So are we supposed to start the podcast?
Ready, one, two, three.
Patriots, gay, triots, they treatets, black triots, brown triads.
It's a big day in the USA.
Welcome to America's top DEI podcast.
Pumps, what have you had it with?
Okay, what I've had it with is I've gotten two alerts today that said,
people are questioning Trump's cognitive decline.
Oh, God.
Concerns over dementia or concerns over this press conference Trump had, people are concerned
you might have dementia.
I'm like, motherfucker gave a blowjob to a microphone.
He swayed on stage for 37 minutes and didn't talk to Ave Maria during the campaign.
This is not breaking news.
If you listen to his press conference, there is no question.
in your mind that he is unhinged and mentally unwell, dementia, Alzheimer's, whatever you want
to call it, if you've been watching him the last year, you know he is not well.
Well, I mean, and even before that, he's the guy that recommended injecting bleach.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you know, like this isn't new.
This is just, it's gotten worse because dementia and cognitive decline is a progressive illness.
And so it's progressively gotten worse.
And I read an article that I don't even, people around him don't even really know that he really knows what's going on.
And if you think about his day, they've made the Oval Office his own personal coloring book where he can color gold leaf all over the place.
And then he does show and tell every day with his executive orders.
And they trot him around.
And then there's all these nefarious actors behind the scenes.
But they give him these vanity projects like, you know what?
You can call the Kennedy Center, the Trump Center.
Oh, you know what, big guy?
We'll put you in charge of vetting all the history at the Smithsonian Institution.
Like, we want the guy that recommended that Americans put bleach into their bodies to disinfect it from COVID.
Like, we want that guy to be in charge of history.
And, like, there's something that Americans need to get back to embracing.
And it is embracing.
the absolute bookworm nerds that have never made a be in their life that like policy,
that like to study policy, that are not threatened when people disagree with them, that are
experts and the face plant of expertise in the MAGA movement and the capitulation to that
expertise in favor of raising up complete dipship like Pete Heggseth.
Right.
Who's wholly unqualified, whose pastor is a huge guy that covers up pedophilia in his church.
And it just seems like every time I turn around, these guys are involved in these crazy scandals that involve some sort of sexual abuse, some form of pedophilia.
They say stupid stuff that they don't know what they're talking about.
And here's the thing.
I get a bunch of nuts forming a cult.
I think that we're at.
I think the support for Trump in this country, I saw a poll that only 31% of Americans believe Trump
to be honest and trustworthy.
So that's the base, 31%.
And they're so loud and obnoxious that feels like that 31% is much larger than it is because their whole
life when they wake up in the morning until they go to bed at night is defending cancels,
make taco tits and owning the lips. That's their sole identity. Like they don't have other hobbies.
Liberals don't stay so hard in this all the time because we have other stuff going on. We have other
things that we like to do. Well, you know what is so interesting about that is you have these
people that I see on Twitter or whatever you call it now. And it's like release the Epstein files.
It's, you know, pedophilia can't stand. And like two years later now that Trump's, you know, it's old
news. We need to get over it. And I'm like, not only do you want to own the libs, you have to twist
yourself into a pretzel every day because he is so crazy and changes what he thinks and what he
says. It's the Epstein hoax that he's geared you up for for 10 years. Because he's in the
Epstein hope. He's in the Epstein files. He's in it. And now this is a huge cover up and all of
these people are complicit. All of these betas wake up every morning and figure out our
we pro-release Epstein files, are we against? And whatever a guy, a grown man, and these guys,
you know, fancy themselves, they like to quantify masculinity. That's like one of their top three
things to do. Own the libs, worship Trump, and quantify masculinity. And in that vein of quantifying
masculinity, they worship a guy that wears a full face of makeup every day. And shoulder pads and
shoeless. A girdle. Yeah. I mean, you know, a girdle, apparently a diaper. I mean, he's what?
98 years old.
I thought it was a hundred and ninety eight,
103, cangles.
I mean, the whole night, it's nuts.
Okay, so my grievance is somewhat similar.
But I have had it with MAGA being so triggered by the First Amendment.
Yeah.
And here's a prime example.
So this summer, my family and I, we went to London and we saw the band Oasis at Wembley Stadium.
It was, you know, they did like five nights there.
We were there on the first night.
90,000 people complete freedom. The band members on stage were shit talking because it's a democracy.
People have that right in the UK. They have the right to freedom of expression. We used to have
that. So I was reading the news and the Oasis band members have been warned not to shit talk Trump
when they do their U.S. swing into the United States of their tour. And that's just like,
I'm sorry, but if you run for president and you choose to be in government, you choose to be a
podcaster, you choose to put yourself on, you know, in the public domain, people shit talk
you. I mean, several days ago, Fox News did wall-to-wall coverage of me calling out all the
racist triple Trumpers that like to go eat Mexican food. And they were just mortified by it.
I'm not a victim of that. I said it on camera. I knew it was going to be out on the public domain.
I'm a big girl.
Come at me.
But these guys are such titty babies.
You're telling Oasis when they come over here that they can't shit talk, cancels, make taco tits.
But yet we're supposed to be, I'm for freedom.
I'm for the Constitution.
I like Trump.
I triple trumped.
I'm going to go eat a cracker barrel just to own you lib.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, big guy.
Swing for the fences.
I'm sorry about your cock.
Sorry, you have a teeny weeny peony.
But, you know, what are we doing?
Telling musicians, people get to shit-talking democracies.
That's freedom.
You might not like what they say.
I don't like a lot of the stuff that said on the right wing.
I simply don't listen to it.
I've never been to a Toby Keith concert.
I don't go to, I don't watch Chuck Norris on TV if he's still on TV because I'm just not into it.
So don't go to the Oasis concert, but do not muzzle people's
right to free speech. And then nobody is going to want to come to this country if they're going
to be muzzled. And that doesn't even get me as to what's going on at the border right now with
people being detained and people that, you know, have tourists, you know, are right to come over
here to travel, to spend money here. They're shutting all of that down. Canada hates us. So to the
31 percent, the triple Trumpers, nobody likes us anymore.
because of you.
Like, you're the reason we can't have nice things.
Right.
Here's the thing.
The book banning.
They're banning books.
They're telling universities who can be their teachers.
It's unbelievable that the right wing is so we love free speech.
We love democracy.
They hate democracy.
They hate it.
Well, they're dismantling it.
They're dismantling it every day.
And I just, every day, not every day.
day, but a couple times a week, I think. What are the history books going to say about Trump,
the enablers in Congress, and all the people that sat back and watched what happened,
that they were shipping people to alligator alcatraz and they made fucking merch about it,
degrading people, dehumanizing people. It's unbelievable. Like 100 years from now,
I understand why Donald Trump wants to rewrite history because it will not
be kind to him, nor will it be kind to Moses, Mike, and that whole thing. And I have a prediction.
It's just a personal prediction. But as this continues to go, you know, no religion is the number one
growth in religion. I really feel like there's going to be after this a real step away from it,
even more because of the unity in lockstep with Trump, the MAGA movement, and evangelical
Christians. I just can't imagine that all that he's doing would not affect people moving forward
and staying in the church, like generationally. I'm all for that because I just think it's nuts
that people are going to Iron Age thinking to guide their modern life. I mean, out of the Ten Commandments,
the first four of them are about protecting God's ego before we even get to not harming other people.
And so, I mean, that's kind of nuts.
Like, you know, don't worship other gods.
And we're putting that up in public schools.
Like, we've really studied a lot past this.
And if you define the Abrahamic God and you went to a therapist, a secular therapist, and you told them, yeah, I'm in a relationship with this guy.
But, you know, if I don't think this certain way or if I think about if I find another guy attractive or if I tell a little white lie, he tells me he's going to, you know, burn in hell.
I'm going to burn in hell forever.
And the therapist would be like, you need to break up.
This is a controlling psychotic relationship.
And so, listen, listener.
I know that some of you are probably Christian light and were raised in this and you have a sense of spirituality that gives you peace.
Where we live in the Bible Belt, these Bible thumpers are meaner than rattlesnakes.
They oppose everything good about this country.
and they're so miserable in their own religion that they want to recruit everybody to be in it
with them because misery loves company.
These people are not fun.
They're racist.
They are white supremacists.
They do not like freedom.
They get wound up about other people's sex lives all the time.
It is the biggest busy body movement, which is why we have started a movement to boycott megachurches.
I want to start there.
So we're selling merch right now to boycott megachurches because the religious industrial complex has done every bit as bad a damage to this country as big oil, big pharma.
And we need to keep our eyes focused on that.
And those listeners that are in it still and you realize, wait, this kind of doesn't make sense.
What do you mean?
Like people used to live to be 900 years old because that's the thing about it.
They make you believe all of it, which is unbelievable.
you can you can get deprogram because pumps hair did it yeah and i just think in looking back
the lack of empathy that i showed other people and now that i see every day with people that i know
i mean i think we could add to the shirts like christianity sucks i was going to say equal sign
with like a thing in it empathy the exact opposite of empathy is what i see in this maga
evangelical Christian movement. Now, there are a couple of Democratic politicians that are deeply religious
from the South, James Tala Rico out of Texas and Andy Bershear out of Kentucky, who use their faith
to message to a very religious country. And make no mistake about it, America is a very religious
first world country, kind of rich third world country. But to message that they will not
marginalize people because of their faith. But sadly,
you see religious movements now talking about they're labeling people who have empathy as
they're labeling it as toxic empathy. And so the central character of their religion,
by their own definition, Jesus would have had toxic empathy. So it's just this stupid mind
fact. Welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie, HBIC, Head Beaver. Let's check in with
Kylie. Hi. Hi. I've got quick couple of reviews.
for you. Okay. This first one is five stars titled Live from the Memory Unit. And Batman's
sister writes, it warms my heart to see the elderly and infirmed provided with such wonderful
opportunities for enrichment as this podcast. To the live-in nurse who provides these ladies with
microphones and internet connection, you're truly a saint and are surely not being compensated
enough. I hope when I reach their ripe ages that I am half as coherent as they are, most admiringly,
a rogue straight white gen z male from the great state of pennsylvania matt what a great review
a straight white gen z i mean you know this is like our audience is a big tent audience
we are the big tent audience here guys and i always say it but our listeners are smart and funny
and witty we don't have any maga listeners i think there's a few hate listeners
But they can't follow it because it's got nuance, I think.
But our listeners, you can bank on them being smart.
Yeah.
I've got a MAGA listener.
Oh, good.
Ready for you.
One star titled, hideous, spelled K-H-U-N-T-S who need to be deported.
Typical left-wing garbage spouted by the most vile and hideous-looking women who have never worked a day in their life and have had everything given to them.
They should be banned from the United States and should be forced to live in a non-white country.
and definitely go on a diet.
Go on a diet.
Go on a diet.
Motherfucker, you wouldn't believe what I spend on Mongero.
Keep that up really quick.
So he thinks we've never worked a day in our lives.
And I have news for you, Voso.
I've worked every day of my life.
And everything that I have, I earned with my own money, zero handouts.
And I didn't have to give one blowjob for it.
I own my house.
I own my cars. I own this building that we're sitting in, all in my name because of my hard work.
And so that is just, that is a typical thing that MAGA people think.
They think that if you have empathy for other people, then you're supposed to be poor and suffering.
That's what they relate it to.
They can't imagine that a woman could make their own money and have their own autonomy and have their own agency and have their own bank account with zero handouts.
I mean, I had very dark days where my financial situation was incredibly precarious, but I had too much
pride to ask anybody for help.
I, I mean, I hunkered down.
I made sure my kids had everything they need, and I'm richish now, but it's all my doing.
It is 100% my doing, and the MAGA movement wants to prevent women from having this type of
autonomy and agency.
And I just, I think that if women are left, not all men, because there's a lot of good ones like
Matt, the aforementioned Gen Z listener, but there are a lot of men that use finances to control
and abuse women.
They absolutely do.
And you see that in divorce all the time women stay because of money.
They're not allowed to know how much is in the bank account, how much is earned, da-da-da-da.
Now, granted, it takes two to tango.
Why did you settle for that?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
but financial abuse is real and they want to take our right to vote away they want to take us back
to where women can't own homes or credit cards and it's because of a guy like this that he
knows that women can do it and that's why he's so fucking triggered this is a guy that in his spare
time is finding a pod he probably saw us on fox names right and in his spare time is going to
hunt down the podcast to put a one-star review
you like you know like number one it doesn't hurt my feelings but number two it it is so pathetic
that so many wake up every single day and their soul like they live in this chat room
comment section keyboard warriors all day okay listen up we have a guest today we have a guest today
that we love he is the first real fan of this podcast um
he is a guest that we that pumps shamelessly objectifies every time she sees him in person he's super
cute and he is our friend and he is a gq model he is a twitch streamer and he is the host of fear
and podcast and he's just one of our best friends let's welcome to i've had it hasan piker
pumps and i need to share with everybody that we have written a book it's called life is a lazy
Susan of shit sandwiches. And believe it or not, Pumps and I have not always been so rock
solid. And we talk about all of our trials, tribulations, most of all are fuckups. Yes, because
fuckups are relatable and a part of the human experience. I have gotten so much feedback regarding
the book that because of my situation with the religion and addiction and all that, that people
relate to that. So I do think there's something to take away that's comforting about it because

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Mr. GQ.
Pumps, go ahead and get it out of your system.
Oh, my God.
I loved it.
Loved the bubble bath.
Here's the deal, Hassan.
You're the only person.
Like, I hate everybody that posts their workouts on the internet.
I hate everybody that posts their outfits of the day.
I fucking like yours every single day because you're so cute and so smart and so everything.
I do it for you specifically.
That's why I do it.
but thank you so much for the kind words i'm honored to be on uh the most radical progressive
podcast in north america that's right this is the headquarters this is the headquarters of the
actual resistance and not like the 2016 era resistance liberalism like the real resistance
this is it i mean you are i mean you are in the epicenter of it we are not fucking around we have
had it from top to bottom and we're calling every motherfucker out. No one is safe. I mean,
no one. We have had it. Fox News is on our trail. They're wound up like cheap clocks, which is
always just a bonus when they get wound up. But Hassan, what have you been up to and what have you
had it with? Oh, I have so many things that I've had it with. But first and foremost, I wanted to say,
I've had it with Democrats who are not fighting.
If you're a Democrat, you have to fight.
If you can't take the heat, you've got to get out of the kitchen.
That's the number one thing I've had it with.
Because we know that Republicans are bad.
We know that they're going to ruin the country.
They're doing it already.
They're doing all the fascist stuff.
They got the military takeover of the capital.
But we need Democrats to be out there putting their bodies on the line.
It can't just be the American public.
I'm out there at the protest.
we're getting shot at I don't see any Democrats with us you know I need to start seeing
Democrats on the at those protests I need to start seeing like actual visible prominent
politicians that are making a big fuss about the kidnappings that are going on all around
the country and also even the unlimited funding that seemingly going to Israel well you know
that's that was a real aha moment for us because it's such an easy layup right now to take
down Maga to say Maga isn't America first. They are clearly Israel first. Moses Mike Johnson
packed up his toys because he didn't want his base to find out that Trump is in the middle
of a pedophile ring. And he went immediately to his home district of Israel. They are Israel first.
And so I was waiting for the Democrats to say this. And they can't say it because they're beholden
to the same people that Moses, Mike Johnson is. So when you,
The only bipartisanship that you see in Congress right now is support for killing marginalized
Palestinians and starving them out.
That's a huge problem for the Democratic Party.
And I mean, here's the thing.
And the Democrats are being really stupid about this.
I played a clip yesterday, Hassan, of Marjorie Taylor Green bashing Israel and talking about
an economic populist message, like Americans are sick of funding wars.
they're sick of not having health care.
And I just said, you know, she's a nut.
She's clearly anti-Semitic, all this stuff.
But I said, when you consume news, you're a middle information viewer and you just see those
clip, the Democrats are leaving us vulnerable to more fascism, to more conservatism,
to more Christian nationalism by not taking the lead on this.
And it enrages me.
Yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green should not be the leading voice on this.
Right.
She should not be outflanking any Democrat on this issue whatsoever.
The Democrats are leaving a massive, they're leaving this space and discourse completely void.
And it's allowed Republicans to basically capture this issue because they recognize,
at least some of these Republicans recognize that this is a way to communicate
earnesty because it's a 92 to 8% issue at this point in the Democratic Party's base of support.
the majority of Republicans don't even support Israel, as they once did.
You got basically just a base of evangelical Christians who are evangelical Zionists,
who are some of the most rabid supporters of Israel.
American Jews don't even fuck with Israel like that anymore.
And, you know, the Democrats are still seemingly leaving this conversation out there
for the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green to take advantage of,
to make themselves seem like they're earnest and not grifters.
Totally. And she is. She's a total grifter. But, you know, we've been keeping an eye on her. And she has been hanging out with Steve Bannon a lot. And they're nuts. But Steve Bannon has good political instincts. And he always returns to an economic populist message. Now, does he want to deliver that populism once he gets power? Fuck, no. Absolutely not. But he knows that he can use it to lure them in. And Marjorie Taylor Green, she's figured out how to game the stock system. You know, she's
made her money. And I think she is starting to realize that Trump's 95, he's got cancels,
you know, clearly has dementia. She's starting to see beyond Trumpism. And she is evolving
in a Darwinian style to say, how am I going to survive after this cult? And once the damage and
the debris filled of all of this shit that he's done, there is going to be a rise of economic
populism and the Democrats are leaving us so fucking vulnerable.
No, absolutely.
They are, I think the real scary person in this league of villains is Tucker Carlson.
Really?
I am, I'm truly terrified of that guy.
And the reason why I say this is because he was early, he was an early adopter of the fake
populist messaging when he was on Fox News.
He was one of the only guys in mainstream news that was actively talking about like,
workers' rights and how important it is that like the right wing actually care about American
labor, right? And Donald Trump in many ways actually adopted that framing when he was talking about
why he was going to do a tariff's when he was going to do this tariff strategy, when he was like,
oh, we've got to revitalize American manufacturing. These kinds of like anti-nafta positioning,
all of this is actually trade protectionism. It's technically supposed to be like a left-wing
economic message. Now, of course, the way that Trump has implemented is ridiculous and has been
disastrous, but I think a lot of that actually stems from not only Steve Bannon, like you
correctly identified, but also even someone like Tucker Carlson. And I truly am worried about
what he would, what kind of damage he would do if he was actually in charge, if he actually
ran for president. TV guys won before. Because they also have the support of,
what you called them Christian Zionists, I call them rapture preppers because I live in the
Bible Belt. And these people are genuinely prepping for the rapture. And this percentage of the
population are what leave us most vulnerable. These religious rapture preppers, this is the way
Putin entered is through the prayer breakfast. This is the way everybody gets radicalized to Trumpism.
this part of the electorate is the worst part of America.
I think you may remember during this last election a guy in France that worked in the
French government as a politician said, we have to have more independence than waiting
every four years to find out how the voters of Wisconsin vote because other countries are
recognizing that we have a dipship problem in America with part of the electorate.
And the thing that pisses me off us on about the Democrats is there's still this like this that they want to lure some of them their way.
Instead of just saying, look, we need to get new voters.
Those people are always going to vote right.
But there's still this kind of like you probably saw when I got into it with Rahm Emanuel.
I got in a fight with him and he was trying to bend to like say, hey, I don't like trans people either.
And I'm like, that's not the way.
Randy Bershear proved that we don't have to throw up.
group under the bus, and you got elected in Bible Thump in Kentucky, like Mitch McConnell land.
And so I don't know why the base beyond the Israel thing.
I don't know why they want to, if it's just still upholding patriarchal structures or protecting
capitalism.
But at this stage, I'm so mad as a Democrat.
And listen, I was in the tank.
I was Hillary.
I didn't vote for Bernie.
My kid, my oldest son, Browle beat me for that, called me a conservative.
and I was that Democrat, okay?
I was that Democrat.
And people use the word radicalized.
And I don't think that's the right language to what happened to me and what's happening
to a lot of white women that look like me.
I would say it's being deprogrammed.
And this is what pissed me off.
The Democrats won.
Joe Biden won.
And we all saw what happened on January 6th.
And that motherfucker got elected again.
They should have charged him.
They should have.
He should be in prison.
and I just saw the breathtaking pussy at the core of that party that y'all are playing two
different games here. And that's what pissed me off about the Democrats. And I still see
that going on right now with the Democratic Party. They're not standing up to him.
It's like, come on. Yeah, no, that's, you have to at some points punish a child that's
misbehaving. Otherwise, they're never going to learn the right lesson. They're never going to grow up
to be a healthy adult. The Democratic Party, on the other hand,
so cowardly so feckless that they are utterly devoid of any sort of counter messaging campaign
they're they're just incapable of combating anything that the trump administration is doing i have
begged consistently democrat party consultants the podjones when i go on their podcast to be
like the democrats should behave more like donald trump but with good policy rather than the
evil policies that are damaging to the working class that the republicans present
damaging to marginalized groups that the Republicans present, like, you know, taking away women's bodily autonomy, fantasizing about potentially taking away gay marriage, things of that nature.
The Democrats should do Trump's style politics, but with good policy instead.
Oh, we're doing student loan debt relief.
What are you going to do about it?
Sorry, everyone is actually going to enjoy that.
Republicans are going to enjoy that.
We're going to do paid family leave, right?
Whether you like it or not.
We're going to do health care.
Whether you like it or not.
Sorry, sucks to suck.
Oh, you hate free health care?
you're going to get it regardless i think that's how they should they should uh legislate in a bold way
and also punish people both within their ranks that step out of line for corporate interests
and i'm talking about of course kirsten cinema and the joe mansions of the world who are
playing the role of a of a villain a revolving rotating villain within the structure of the democratic
party whip those votes why am i talking about all this well the reason why i'm talking about it is
because before i actually met democrats before i actually went to the
DNC, for example, before I met the consultant class, I always used to think that these guys are just like cynical, amoral monsters who are cold and calculating.
They are just simply, you know, actively behaving as the controlled opposition party.
That they know that they have a role to play here in the grand scheme, but American politics is a doopoly, but it's actually Uniparty when it comes to a lot of stuff like Israel and foreign policy and even tax cuts and deregulations.
and their role is to broadly just stand aside
and allow the Republicans to dominate
and shift the over to the window further and further to the right.
And I thought they were doing that on purpose.
And then I met a couple Democrats.
And then I started meeting their consultants.
And I realized, oh, my God, it's not even that.
They're just stupid.
Like, they literally are so stupid that they genuinely think,
like when they say, oh, we got to go along
and do a song and dance with Liz Cheney,
there are some dumb fucks in there who unironically thought that this was a banger like they literally what they were communicating to the TV channels about how like we have to hug and kiss Liz Cheney because we have to like bring over this mythical moderate Republican voter when have you met a Republican lately like 90% of the things that they are you know 90% of their grievances are just made up they're hallucinating you know what I mean they're living in an alternative playing field like you're not winning those guys over they think you're like
a pedophilic vampire you know what i mean they don't they don't think like they're not like oh wow
reasonable foreign policy that's why i'm voting for don't trump no they literally have hallucinated
an alternative reality so um they didn't win any of those voters but but the intention behind
those actions are i guess genuine genuinely stupid but genuine nonetheless so i guess there is like
there is some some uh hope there i do think when you think
about the way the base moved the Republican Party so far to the right, we have to be that bold
and move the politicians that we have right now that far to the left. And none of them are
perfect. Like Gavin Newsom and the, what's his name, Charlie Kirk interview. I mean, double
thumbs down. Annoying as fuck. But what he's doing right now, the Caplock tweet and like acting like,
you know, sending that out, those unhinged tweets kind of like Trump did. And,
threatening to gerrymander. We have the leaders that we have right now. I mean, here's the thing,
Hassan, between you and me, I think, you know, most people would probably rather earn their money
on their back than being an elected politician. So these are the guys that we have right now.
So I think our best plan, we have to beat up on them. But we also, when they're showing good
fight, we have to support them and also continue to move them to the left because the people that live
in these all MAGA super majority states, the damage is already happening and has been happening.
And so I, you know, I share all of your disenchantment, but I think we need to, as a base,
keep pushing them.
The ones that we have now, the ones that won't push, Primarium, but the ones that we have,
I think they can evolve because look at how quickly the whole Republican Party changed.
I mean, these guys used to just, I mean, they, I mean, not that long ago in my lifetime,
They told Nixon to resign that they wouldn't support him.
You know, they used to think Russia was bad.
Yeah.
Well, they had a sense of shame back then, I feel like.
I mean, they were still doing a lot of shameless stuff,
but there was, like, broadly some level of wanting to preserve,
yeah, some decorum wanting to preserve the sanctity of institutions, right?
Like, at this point, it's just like pure domination.
They don't care.
They will utilize, they understand the resentment that people have towards these institutions.
after multiple decades of not getting any progress for anyone in a meaningful manner.
So they recognize that animosity and they use it.
They use it to their advantage to basically pick apart the corpse of America at this point
for like profits for a couple of their friends.
I mean, the president did a rug pulled meme coin like with cryptocurrency.
What are we doing?
I think a lot of us see that what I spoke about earlier,
the failure of in Joe Biden's term, the biggest failure of his term,
and what that term will always be defined for, regardless of any legislative accomplishment he did.
In my opinion, that presidency would be considered a failure because it led to not incarcerating Trump
and protecting voters and protecting democracy.
And Gaza.
Yeah.
And Gaza, too.
Yes.
And that, like, you know, that left us so vulnerable.
And then when you see Zoran Mamdani, like, we're all dying for like a savior, right?
and you see this Barack Obama Riz kind of look at that larger than live kind of
celeb politician arrive on stage where you're like, oh, who's this guy?
He's a good looking.
Oh, he's spitting facts.
By the way, Barack hasn't said anything about Zoron.
I know.
I know.
So that's my next point.
So my next point is then you're like, oh, okay, the Democratic Party, everybody needs to
endorse him.
And then I see Cory Booker, abject disappointment, puss out of
on it. I mean, just a total puss. I see Hakeem puss out on it. And you see all of them. And I'm just
like, and he's still like, I just saw a poll come out today, Hassan, where he's ahead of Cuomo 20 points.
He's getting the Jewish vote. He's getting, you know, the white vote, the minority vote,
all the votes. And I'm just like, and I think I'll go back to you. He's winning the conservative
vote. Did you know that? I go. Yes. And I go back to you, Hassan, they're stupid. The Democratic,
they're stupid they don't understand they're all about charts I mean these are the same people that
thought we're going to spend what was it 10 million to talk to men 20 million to learn how to talk to young men
that's what the democratic think tank did and what you're saying is how you talk to them you say you don't
like health care for everybody tough titty son you're going to get it anyway because that's what we stand
for we don't let poor people die tough titties you don't like your student debt being forgiven fine
we'll exclude your ass and you can pay all the insurance
But to not be such pussies and govern like that, it would be incredible.
But I don't see it from the Democratic leadership.
And I've been so disappointed that Obama and others have not endorsed Zoron.
Yeah.
And I think it's by design.
I think Israel is a major reason here.
That's it.
Because for Zoron, within the limited confines of the New York mayoral race, within the
limited powers that he has as New York mayor, he looked at that.
He went to the voters. He said, what do you care about? They said, we want better public transit. We want affordable housing. He said, bet, I'm going to give that to you. And he ran with those policies. And he was uncompromising in his worldview. And he got rewarded for it. People thought, and I think there are still a lot of Democratic consultants that try to claim that Israel is a third rail that you can't touch, that you can't actually criticize Israel. Otherwise, everyone will call you anti-Semitic. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
And then your career is over.
You'll never be able to, you'll never be able to get A-PAC money ever again.
Oh, no.
And it turns out the voters rewarded Zoran for that.
There were so many people.
There were so many right-wingers that saw that famous, that famous, like, four of the candidates getting asked, like, where would you go after you win the mayoral race?
And they're like, I'm going to the Holy Land.
I'm going to Israel.
I'm going to Israel at 10th time.
I'm going to Israel for a time.
And I was like, I'm the mayor of New York.
Like, I'm staying in New York.
And they were like, do you hate Israel?
Why wouldn't you go to Israel?
And that actually helped them so much.
And this is something that I've been trying to tell politicians.
Obviously, there are politicians that I'm friends with and friendly with and talk to with
regular frequency, but they already know this.
We need to stop treating voters like they're incredibly stupid.
agree i think like we we can we can be honest with voters we can tell them like this stuff sucks i mean
you're seeing the dead children nobody likes that right why are we giving money to israel to do
that it's illegal under american law even before the the genocide uh because that's a word that
uh even Bernie Sanders sometimes is too afraid to to call out openly which you know pains me because
I love Bernie, but even before that, it's war crimes.
It's illegal.
Like, Israel has absolutely done war crimes.
It's unquestionable.
Israel is doing a genocide that's also unquestionable.
But even if you don't want to say that, Israel is doing a litany of war crimes.
It is illegal for America to give weapons to a country that is doing war crimes.
For the ethnocentric American voter, you can take the big message that you just took
the right moral message to a deep thinker who wants to absorb that and understand the human
rights issues and violations pertaining to it. But to the selfish, me, me, me, capitalist,
I'm so important American, these Democrats have to take the message that you, and it's not
as pure as maybe the leftist one, but it's effective. And they have to take a message that
says, you don't have health care, but everybody in Israel does. You can't access a college
and without massive debt, but everybody in Israel can't. Oh, and by the way, all those kids that
you're seeing dead that Ms. Rachel, the YouTuber is showing you, you're paying for that,
and our politicians go ahead and autograph the bombs before they send them over. That kind of language
with flyover rule people fighting, which brings me to something I wanted to talk to you about.
So Zoron has been one like, I'm like, okay, this is great messaging, but somebody who I thought
kind of came out of hiding that I thought was kind of a good messenger that I enjoyed recently
was Hunter Biden.
I mean, I've always, I've always thought he's a very telegenic individual.
I've always had a fondness to Hunter Biden for his proclivity towards crack cocaine.
The incredible stories that come out of his life as far as like, you know, strippers falling
in love with him.
And he's like advocating for prostitutes to unionize and stuff like that.
There's so many different stories like that.
And he's just been like a very charismatic fail son.
Everything that the Trump children never could be.
Right.
Handsome.
He's got a big penis.
And also, and very charismatic.
Now, do I think Hunter Biden should be the guy that's like running for office?
No, I don't think so.
But there are real people out there.
I think with respect to what you said about rural,
voters and you know a middle america middle america voters and an environment that is ripe to
capture you're absolutely right with the way that we could be communicating this message is like
why are we giving why is the texas governor saying it is anti-semitic or towns in texas to want to
take back four million dollars in tax revenue that they're sending to israel so they can
spend it on infrastructure hardening so that when um when the inevitable
floods and you know chaos that unfolds with natural disasters happens like they are better protected
they can protect their constituents better why is the trump administration saying oh if you want
FEMA dollars you literally have to sign a loyalty pledge to Israel that's insane that's not
America first at all what are we talking about what about Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweet where she's
talking about the Arkansas Israel connection did you see this it was fucking crazy yeah it was
was just it's those are the evangelical nuts like those are rapture preppers yeah yeah there are there are a lot
of them right but like but there are so many more people that look at that and I think you go oh that's
weird and gross like here's the thing that politicians need to know because we live around rapture
preppers they're also anti-semitic at the same time I have the jew jokes are constant and non-stop in wasp
environments and yes they will say we're Israel first but the all of the tropes about oh
I'm going to Jew him down, I've heard that in my entire life from rapture preppers. And they are
the most anti-Semitic people I know. So that is just an insane way to capture support. But again,
these are the people that leave us pray. These are the people that the Israeli government is able
to manipulate for support. And these are the same people that Vladimir Putin enters into manipulating
through the prayer breakfast. I do find that really interesting. Like the Putin stuff is so strange
to me because like these guys hated Russia for years and years, even after the USSR fell,
right? And then almost overnight, they like, I went into a couple telegram groups or a couple
Facebook groups and now they're like, oh, no, actually Vladimir Putin is invading Ukraine to like
stop trans people. How did you arrive at this? Like how, how were you so easily duped? How can
you be so easily convinced by a couple tweaks in the algorithm?
in a somewhat sophisticated influence peddling operation,
but like it does shock me that they,
that something that I thought was,
was world defining for a lot of conservatives especially.
You're supposed to expect the liberals to be like,
oh, no, Russia are our friends.
They're a foreign country, but like, let's not fight them.
Like, nope, it's the Republicans who are now saying,
like, Russia is our friend and we should fight Ukraine instead.
The country that was invaded, we should fight those guys.
because they're woke and gay, which they're not.
I don't know where they got that from either.
But they're just like, no, they're Democrats.
Ukraine is the is a Democratic Party country.
And Russia is the Republican Party country.
So they're good.
And it blows my mind that it works.
It's because there's so much homo eroticism in the Republican Party and so much suppressed
sexuality, bisexuality, closet cases.
And Vladimir Putin did his topless photo op on top of that horse.
And they were just frothing at the mouth.
He did look good.
I hate to give him that.
He did look good on that.
He did look.
It's cool.
I wish more politicians would do stuff like that.
Please don't tell me Trump is going to get topless.
I mean,
that is just.
Oh, no.
I hope not.
So bad.
So bad.
I hope not because I'll be too turned on.
You know,
there are people who think he's hot,
which is so crazy.
That's like one of the things where I'm like,
oh, you're like actually hallucinating.
Right.
There's no way.
When ladies at like Trump rallies will be like,
I would be like,
want him to grab my pussy. I'm like, oh, what? Like, you think this guy is like, like a sexual
dynamo. But you know what's crazy? This is what's interesting to me. They're all so, like a lot of the
men are so deeply attracted to his aura to him, but they have to Photoshop, right, images of him.
So you get all this homo eroticism that comes out of MAGA. Like that to me, Maga is the most
homo erotic uh movement it's it's more gay than pride month because like it's just they talk about
genitals they're talking about sex bathrooms bathrooms it's just unbelievable they're obsessed yeah
there there is a there is definitely like an unhealthy uh sexual pathology associated like when they were
talking about Trump is daddy Tucker Carlson went on I don't know if you ever saw that video where he's like
Trump is daddy and daddy's home and I was like yeah you're a great
grown-ass man what are you saying right now like and and I don't know where that stems from and
I think I think there's like a lot of repression and then there's a lot of like straightforward
homophobia queer phobia things of that nature of course like just like pure bigotry
and you can kind of tell like you can tell who's the Lindsay Graham in the situation and who's just
like a straightforward bigot and not even like repress. Let's identify those. Let's let's okay. Moses Mike
Johnson is he a straightforward bigot or would you say he's the lindsay graham no i don't think
he's a a closeted uh gay man even though i have heard people uh make this uh inference i think he is
into like weird kink shit though like i think he's the type of guy who like is into bdsm and because
like he has that porn app right like he has the porn watchdog app that him and his son uh monitor
each other's like porn consumption to keep one another on the ball so they're not like you know
they're not like looking at porn and to me it's like dude if you have your son doing that for you
you got to be a real freak you know what i mean it's just like just don't watch porn what's wrong with
you or just watch porn who cares like but like you got you got your son involved in this like
that is that's crazy and then he also why do we know this because he volunteered this information
how crazy is that you're a real freak with a camera rolling with a camera rolling
Okay, what about J.D. Vance?
Ooh, J.D. Vance is an interesting one.
I think he's just too.
I think J.D. Vance is, I mean, he's a straight guy, but he's gay for pay.
You know what I mean?
Like, he will do it.
Like, he will do it as long as there's, like, a higher office that he can reach.
Because he is, like, a real, he's one of those, like, real sociopathic brown nosers.
Like, he knows Trump sucks, but he doesn't matter.
You've seen his drag photos, right?
Where he has the wig on.
He was in the Navy.
You know, he's like posed up.
Yeah, I just, I always tell Pimes, I just envision that he gets home from work.
And he's like, hi, Usha.
And he's like, you know, tells the kids, Daddy's got to have time in the bathroom.
And I picture him, you know that scene from Silence of the Lambs where the serial killers like putting on makeup and tucking his penis under and like dancing.
I picture J.D. Vance doing that something that dark after work.
I don't, I don't know.
I don't, like I said, I think he's just more so.
I peg him as a straight man, but he's definitely experimented.
I mean, he was in the Marines, like, those guys get down, you know, they do wild stuff.
It's not even, until recently, it wasn't even an issue.
Donald Trump is doing drag alongside Rudy Giuliani.
Like, that is a real, that's real footage that exists out there.
Rudolph Giuliani, America's mayor is in full drag.
And Donald Trump is like fondling his breasts and like smelling his breasts and motorboating.
Rudy Julian is like fake titty.
It's crazy.
That's a real thing that exists.
But now they're like, oh, how dare you do drag?
You must be a pedophile.
Meanwhile, you got that Utah congressperson, state congressperson being like, who automatically
is like, oh, if you're queer or you're a pedophile, ridiculous, insane, hateful fucking
statements.
And then you have his immediate family member that was a literal pedophile that did
statutory rape.
He's like, well, that guy's good.
We should place the law specifically for my immediate relative.

Okay, Hassan, let's play had it or hit it.
Do you remember?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to had it or hit it.
I would hit it.
I'd hit it every day, sometimes twice a day.
All right, had it or hit it, the anti-woke movement.
Oh, I've had it.
Nobody likes cancel culture.
everybody is annoyed by it right but nowadays i think i would rather have the most annoying liberals
constantly yelling at me for something that i've said that they have like misconstrued as problematic
than seeing another like 65 year old hedge fund manager uh say the r word because they think
it's based and cool this backlash towards woke has gotten so out of control
that has got someone like myself who is known for, you know, saying things that maybe some
people don't appreciate, you know, getting out of line every now and then and even getting
quote unquote canceled every now and then begging for woke to come back. I'm saying like bring
woke back. I'll get canceled. We should all get canceled. It's so much better than like, you know,
whatever these freaks are doing over at Twitter where they're just like talking about Adolf Hitler
in like positive ways. I'm like, no, you should be.
canceled. There are certain social stigmas that we need to bring back. Like, we need to use
shame as a tool against this seemingly unstoppable force of shameless behavior.
So Pumps talks about the shame all the time. I say it all the time. Like, these people have no
shame. They should be publicly shamed, but they don't feel it. They don't realize how absolutely
it's like I've never in my life seen people.
that have no shame none yeah no i it's it's it's incredible they wear it as a badge of honor
they almost wear that like backlash as as as a is a mark of courage where they're like yeah i must
be doing something right because i'm really pissing people off and it's like it's like a spoiled child
like oh i i shit in my diapers and now you have to smell it and ha ha i did this deliberately it's like well
okay you're sitting in your own shit now like you're grown as adults
sitting in your own shit what do you mean you're not owning anybody but yourself in this situation
buddy uh and and we need to like remind people of that because um for you know all of my disagreements
with tim waltz i think like one of the things that he did very well in the early stages
of the campaign and that immediately was back pocket it was like calling the republicans weird
like they're totally it's fun to bully conservatives we need to we need to make that we need
they need to be bullied they bully us all the time oh for sure and i think we need to
normalize bullying MAGA
and bullying the shit out of them
because it's just
you know and I agree and then if by bullying them
we get canceled then okay we'll check ourselves
and get out of cancel jail at a later date
but until then we have to have all
hands on deck okay Hassan had it or hit
it thirst traps
ooh
this is going to hit me hard
of course I can't
I can't say this right after that GQ article
this came out
oh you look great
speak of daddy right there oh it's embarrassing you have to look great you have to say hit it you know pimes has a huge crush on you
he knows that he knows that he knows that he knows that I'm old enough to be his grandmother but he knows
not grandmother maybe maybe maybe maybe sister yeah he's charming too smart charming hason had it or hit
it a jd vance coup oh my god um no I think that would also be devastating so
So I've had it.
But don't you think that he's plotting like he keeps.
Oh, for sure.
I think he's plotting.
There's no question about it.
Yeah.
No, he has been noticeably absent in the conversation when it comes to the Epstein stuff.
If you realize like he, he stays out of stuff like that because I think he's always like in a, in a let's wait and see.
Uh, he approaches everything with like, let's wait and see, uh, where this goes.
And I think eventually, I think it's partially because.
is like he wants to use the existing momentum of like the trump train for his inevitable
pathway into the white house um but but i think if given the opportunity he would oh my god
he would he would have a brutus moment he would shank donald trump so hard i agree which is
rewarding for sure uh for only a brief moment because i do think that he is backed by some of the
most rapacious freaks out there like the Peter Thiel's and the Curtis Yarvins of the world like
those guys like the the Silicon Valley techno monarch uh attitude that they have is is so
alarming yeah it's terrifying and this see here's my thing I know you said that you didn't and I
no pun intended I know on your part you said you didn't peg J.D. Vance as being gay I kind of do
Because this is my theory and our listeners have heard it.
Think about pre-Silicon Valley J.D. Vance.
Hillbilly elegy.
He had no eyeliner.
He was a little chubby.
He was a little frumpy.
He called Trump, America's Hitler.
And then he goes out to Silicon Valley and he hangs out with Peter Thiel, who everybody knows is out of the closet.
And that motherfucker comes back, yassified and psychotic.
I mean, he got queer-eyed.
Peter Thiel clear-eyed him.
He looks, you can tell.
I think he's just a robot.
I do legitimately think he'll play any role necessary.
He's certainly a smart guy, too.
He's not like a stupid person by any means.
But I also think he's too invested in like being cool.
Right.
Like this is a known secret.
And I'm surprised that more people haven't brought this up.
But like J.D. Vance is in like some very questionable chat groups.
Twitter with like teenagers what talking to like yeah there he's talking to like like Twitter uh he follows
a bunch of white supremacist accounts on Twitter and like some of those guys are more teens when jd
vans was in the chat groups with them like he's gone on ridiculous podcast um like even more
ridiculous than like Donald Trump going on Alex Jones right because Alex Jones is still like a mainstream
figure like he'll go on like super random Peter Thielbacked podcast uh and and and that's where a lot of the
stuff about him like treating women as like brood mares came from uh because he would just like go
on those podcasts and be like yeah women should just stay at home and and you know uh and and keep
breeding so that like the american destiny can unfold right like stuff like that he was saying
he was saying at those podcasts because he thought that that was like the meta that he thought that was
the cool thing to say in those groups so he is he he he plays every side of the field um and
He will pick whatever, whatever movement will, will back him at the end.
And I think it's going to be like the Peter Thiel's of the world.
But as far as like his sexual proclivity is, you know, his activities goes.
I just, I think like I said, at most J.D. Vance will be gay for pay.
If it's an, if it's an opportunity for him to like for career advancement, he'll do it for sure.
Do you think that, okay, let's say, let's just one final thing.
and then we'll let you go.
I want to run a hypothetical case.
All right, Trump's, cancels, cause blood clot, drops dead.
Oh, my God.
J.D. Vance is sworn in.
The MAGA base.
Okay, first of all, there would be, you know, conspiracy theories, all this stuff.
Can J.D. Vance, you know, calm and keep the MAGA base tethered to him?
No, I agree.
No.
I don't think anyone can.
I think we see this with like
charismatic strong men
their
their second in command
or whoever like the
continuation of the movement is
never ends up winning over the entire base
I mean look at Chavez
versus Maduro
it's just like it's a similar
it's a similar example where Donald Trump is a
that's why I call him like white man's Barack Obama
like Donald Trump is a uniquely charismatic
figure that speaks to the frequency of white supremacists in a way that no one has ever been
able to do and no one will ever be able to do you will never have another zesty new york billionaire
real estate developer who loves uh broadway musicals go to west virginia and talk about how
gradin carter is a sissy and vanity fair parties are no longer hot uh and you got like
you know former coal miners sitting there and be like yeah great and carter is a pussy mr president
You don't know who that is.
What are you talking about?
Why do you care about this?
You know?
And that speaks to Trump's cult-like figure, his cult-like figurehead status
and how he's been able to keep these guys captivated.
And part of that is because of the policies that he correctly is able to get people
to pay attention to, you know, the villains that he is presented.
But a big part of that is his telegenital.
nature. And I don't think
J.D. Van, I think J.D. Van, is too much of a nerd.
Yeah. He was very
he was intensely disliked
in the campaign. He was actually seen as a
burden to Donald Trump. And we forget
that. Why was he seen as a burden? Because
he's the guy who is supposed to be
Trump's attack dog for liberal
media. He can speak the language of
liberals. But I think a lot
of Republicans, especially in the MAGA
base, don't want that. It just comes
across as like fake. It comes across as phony.
I always say like,
Pete Buttigieg and J.D. Vance are the type of people that Middle America knows very well.
When those guys come into your town, you know layoffs are about to happen, the McKinsey consultant types.
They come in with a smile on their face and then you lose your job because they had to eliminate redundancy.
So people are very, people are very aware of who J.D. Vance is, I think.
And therefore, I don't believe that he'll be able to whip up the same base of,
support because it's not just about being able to put on a show, you know, putting on the vest
and maybe the snake skin boots and just being like, I'm a real American or look at how races I can
get.
Like there is a Donald Trump has been able to hit that frequency so perfectly without compromising
and he was able to communicate earnesty to some of the worst people on the planet.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
He was.
All right, Hassan, we love you.
You know, you were our first famous podcast fan.
ever that's crazy you guys have been killing it i see the i see the clips all the time and i love when
i love when people that don't know who you guys are will be like wow look at these like
liberal wine moms saying crazy stuff i'm like no they've been there they know they know they're
they've been at this fight for a minute now you know but i don't i don't let them know because i feel
like that's a part of the marketing right yeah where it's like when they first encounter you
at first they google where were gin and pumps on
January 6th, right, before they spend any time. Did they work at Fox News? They look kind of
Fox, you know, I'm kind of getting Fox News vibes. It's a whole part of the, you know, of our
spell that we, that we're casting on white women across the country. But we're doing it together,
right? Like, I got the, the bro types who would normally be captivated by the manosphere.
So when people look at me, they go like, oh, this guy, like, he, he likes to lift weights and
and I don't know he seems kind of broie to me like is he a misogynist and then you know
and then people maybe tune into that frequency a little bit better like people that
otherwise could easily be duped by the likes of Andrew Tate then come in and watch me and you
got the liberal wine moms who are like well yeah these are these gals I identify with them like
they're just shooting the shit and and you know they're saying the right things so it's this
it's this unique coalition that we're building in basis of support that the Democrats have
lost white women I'll tell you what I have I've had it really has we have the gay triads we have a
huge LGBTQIA plus community audience and we call them the gateriots but I'll tell you what women white
women love gay men and gay men love white women so it's a great alliance so I think we keep
tag teaming this Hassan I hope we make it to the 2026 I hope everything's not
militarized by then. I'm sincerely worried about it. That's not hyperbole. Oh, yeah, no, for sure.
But we love you and it's so good to have you on. I want to, the next time you come, I want you to
come to the Bible Belt and I want Marsh to come and just feel, I want to take you to like
a cowboy steak restaurant because I know that for you, it's like being in the middle of a national
too. Yeah, his brother was, yeah, I've been to, I've been to Oklahoma a bunch. My brother used to
live in Oklahoma when he worked at Boeing. So I'm, I'm very familiar. Remember,
with your former governor, Mary Fallon, and everything.
She sucked.
National Oil Field Prayer Day, baby.
That's my goat.
My goat.
All right, Hassan.
Bye, we love you.
Bye, thanks, Sassan.
Love you guys.
Keep up the great work.
Bye.
Okay, bye.
I mean, he's so smart.
He's deeply attractive.
He's so smart.
He's so deeply attractive.
He's so well-spoken.
He's built.
I mean, I'm just like,
looking at him the whole time thinking you're like the full fucking package dude let me tell you what i
like about hasan is he's not one of these titty baby liberals that's monitoring and correcting people all
the time he's fuck you liberal and he's open to saying hey sometimes i mouth off and i might say the wrong
thing cancel my ass and i'll work my way out of the cancellation because it's hearts in the right
place and i think the message with the hasans and us of the world is we're fighting for the right thing
We're open to you calling us out.
But in the time that we're trying to get the fascist out of the government, if people are 90% on your side, don't check them.
Check the fascists instead.
Right.
You know?
Right.
There's plenty of things you can be bitching about.
We've got to coalesce.
I mean, if I'm willing to swallow the whole Charlie Kirk trans thing because Gavin Newsom seems to be the only real fighter on the national stage, like, I mean, well, here's the thing.
It's, you don't have to support somebody 100%.
Right.
I mean, look, I didn't like when he did that.
That's the thing about Trump.
All the Trump supporters say, well, I think his tweets are crazy, but I really like him.
Right.
I think that grabbing by the pussy comment was kind of weird, but I kind of like him.
So the liberals need to take a, or progressives need to take a mindset that that Charlie Kirk
interview was bullshit, but he's fighting the fight right now.
By God, I'm going to, I'm going to regram, retweet.
I'm going to do all the stuff because he's out there.
He's putting himself out there.
You don't have to like 100% of a politician or 100% of a politician's actions.
In fact, I think it'd be weird if you did.
I totally think it's weird if you did.
That's why you have Trump and, you know, all the things.
All right.
Thanks to Hassan Piker.
He is beautiful.
And here's our book.
We have our tooth model, Jennifer, modeling this.
And pumps, I just want to tell you all one thing.
The very first time we ever met Hassan, oh, is Hassan messaging.
The very first time pumps met Hassan, we arrived at his house, and she's like, oh, my God, you're hot.
I couldn't help it.
It just came out.
Right out of the gates, Mrs. Robinson.
And then we hung out with Hassan at the DNC, and she would just march right up to him.
She could just, Hassan, you're just so handsome.
Yeah, and we'd get a picture and he'd be standing next to me.
I'd be like, no, no, no, no, no.
I want a full arm around.
I want people to think that were a couple.
She did.
I did.
I did.
I mean, he's that cute.
I forgot that you did that.
Yeah, that's so cute.
He is, I love him.
He is the best.
And Will and Austin that he does the other podcasts with.
They're fabulous.
It's a great group.
All right.
Pumps tell him.
We will see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
I'll tell you what I've had it with.
Let's hear it.
I've had it with that.
