Starting point is 00:00:00 So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready, one, two, three. Patriots, gay, triots, they treat, it's, black, trots, brown triots, we love you, and all of the triple Trumpers can do what pumps? All right, pumps, what have you had it with? Okay, this has been happening for the last two weeks, and I have had it, had it. So I have donated to Democratic candidates in different states, obviously. And so I get all these text messages. And I even sent you one like six months ago.
Starting point is 00:00:39 It was check. Hi, it's Czech. Shemer. And I was like, I'm out. Stop. Don't text. So in my unknown texts, I'm getting literally yesterday, 40 unknown numbers texting. This has been happening day after day after day.
Starting point is 00:00:53 It started with like 10 and then 15. I've been doing stop, stop. Well, as I'm doing stop, I keep getting all these other texts. I hit unsubscribe, stop, whatever. Then I get a confirmation text that I've unsubscribed. But it keeps happening because we went off the air for like 10 minutes and my phone filled up with 15 more. Who was sending me all these? I mean, I hated to do it, but I stopped AOC because I was just like, I have to stop everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You know, there's two issues here. Number one, the, when you tell somebody you don't want to get texting anymore and they confirm that they're not going to text you anymore, they're already violating your boundary you drew. So that's number one. Number two, this is why we need publicly funded campaigns. Yeah. Because we have our politicians that in order to even compete with what these Republicans, are bringing in from these oligarchs who are funding fascism, they have to hit up people like us and the, you know, everyday working class American to get 20 bucks, five bucks, a hundred bucks. And they have to get massive amounts of those to even be able to come to the table. And Zoran did this really well as he ran against all of the corporate money. And so it's really a shame that even when you look at presidential campaigns, they have to raise over a billion dollars. And furthermore, this is something that you don't know if you're an American,
Starting point is 00:02:30 it's just all you know. We're always in like a permanent campaign situation. So I think two things need to change if we ever get Trump out. Number one, we need publicly funded campaigns where each candidate gets the same amount of money. That's it. Do not let corporations donate, don't take money from people. Get all the, all of private, public, all of it, all of the corporate money out of it. And then we need only like a month or six weeks of campaigning. It's too long. No, I agree. From now until the actual midterms and how it started like a year ago, it's too much. And then I think that exacerbates a human being's desire to just tune it out and be like, I don't care. Yeah, we're too far gone. Isn't it the UK that's 90 days? They call it.
Starting point is 00:03:23 call an election and it's 90 days later? I don't, I don't. I don't have, I think ours is not all day long. I think ours is extraordinarily like long and the amount of money that has to be raised. And in Europe, the actual times that people can campaign is much shorter and it's publicly funded. And the public funding would just be a game changer. Total game changer.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Then I wouldn't see all these ridiculous ads on my TV every five minutes. Yeah, and then it's like, and then you feel like, oh, I need to hear about all these corporations given all this money. And you think, okay, well, I need to give to this person because they need these small dollar donations and it's going to make a difference. And it does. It really does. But then you get, then your number gets put on a list. And then they all start coming after you. Yeah. No, it's crazy. All right. I've had it with, mine is non-political. I have had it with walking down the street in New York. Okay. And there's a person in front of me. that is a slow walker.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Nobody on either side of them. So I'm a very fast walker, very. So I think, okay, I'm going to pass this person on the right. And as I start to weave, the person in front of me weaves. So I'm like, oh, okay, they're going this way too. So then I go, I'm going to go to the left. And then they weave back to the left. And you know what the culprit is?
Starting point is 00:04:48 What? Cell phone. Oh, yeah. They're on their cell phone. They're like they're walking while texting or walking while scrolling, which creates a walking drunk effect. And I can't get around them. And I just think that there needs to be more structure on the sidewalks, a fast lane, a slow lane. I don't think people that all want to walk slow together should be able to be right next to each other.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I think they should be like single file doing. that and I know it might be awkward for their conversation, but I can't, there was a lady today where I was like weaving. And I finally was just like, I'm passing you on your left. Of course, her earphones were in. She had no clue where she was, what she was doing. You can't even say, excuse me, I'm passing on your left because they have the earfront. So it's a huge problem. I've been a victim of it. Here's the thing. I've also been the person that's talking on their cell phone and not paying attention. And I'm sure if I weave with my car. I'm sure I weave when I walk. You're the worst. The worst. I've never been in a car with you where you
Starting point is 00:06:00 don't start, you're driving down the road and start doing shit with your phone. It's terrifying. And first of all, I'm not a great driver to begin with. I mean, I'm not starting out at a 10 out 10. And I've really tried to do better with my like voice activated. But as we know, so often the commands I give to my voice activation, my accent's too thick and it doesn't understand. All right, welcome to I've had it. America's Top Dei podcast. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie.
Starting point is 00:06:27 All right, let's check in with Kylie. Hi. Hello. I've got a few reviews from comments from Spotify. And this one is a response to our episode on the wedding crashing that you wanted to do. Oh, yeah. So Ray Dell writes, obsessed with your wedding crashing idea. Here's mine.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Get dressed up in pink or lavender colored suit and a super gay tie. Think rainbow, maybe small. penises on it, something like that. Then during the whole ceremony, I would cry and get extra loud towards the end when the groom says yes. And when he does, I'd walk out of the church. For context, I'm gay, Cuban, brown, and a leftist, yay. And I would do this at the MAGA weddings. Love your show. See, I knew it was like somewhat of a satisfying idea. Yeah. It's like if you see the performative wedding shit on Instagram. Somebody acting like they're the first people to ever get married, ever to ever pick
Starting point is 00:07:27 bridesmaids to ever have a bachelor at party, all the nauseating shit that sometimes I'm like, what the fuck is this going? This is over the top. And then I'm 25 weeks deep into something, you know, on the mother-in-law's page. But to be able to be like dramatic at the people who have dramatic Instagram posts about their wedding to be a guest and be incredibly dramatic. There's something about that that just sounds really satisfying me. So I want to thank the reviewer for validating that this sounds fun and fucked up and toxic and that you're in and I support it. Yeah. And it took it to a whole other level.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Then you were like, why is he crying so hard? Is there a relationship going on? What's going? I mean, the rumors start flying that will live to the end of time. Okay. Another comment we've got is from Laura and she says, y'all are the tits. Love it. And then we've got Justin L. Gibson and he says, The only way we heal as a nation is more jaunty. I've had it underscore as Jennifer tells Maga to fist themselves. That's fun stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I mean, God, it's, you know, this, for those of you that tune in to this Tuesday, Thursday podcast that are new. This is our podcast called I've had it. It drops Tuesday, Thursday. it's we try not to be political, but we're of the thought that everything's political. And if we didn't mention the egregious human rights violations, the dismantling of our democracy for idiotic fascists, that it would be like, oh, well, those white ladies, you know, they don't have to talk about politics because it doesn't affect them.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So we try to keep it a little lighter over here. But if you want hard hitting everyday news analysis where, in fact, I tell Maga to go fist themselves, you can subscribe to iHIP news, which are bite-sized news hits that drop two to three times a day. All right, let's do, this is political, but bashing J.D. Vance.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And the reviews are in for J.D. Vance's new book. Let's pop this up. The Daily Beast is reporting J.D. Vance humiliated as he's savaged by early book reviews. Pop this up. The community reviews, One star has 93%. And then here are the comments.
Starting point is 00:09:58 One star because zero isn't an option. Okay. And then it's clear to those who have already read the book that there's only one reason J.D. wrote it. And it's not about converting to Catholicism. Pop this up. J.D. Vance wrote a book to convince you his wife doesn't hate him.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And then somebody writes, I got a colonoscopy on Friday. If only that were the least pleasant experience of my last week. But no, that would be when I pulled an all-nighter on Monday reading communion, J.D. Vance's book. These are the reviews, the book reviews. And then J.D. spends a lot of time convincing the reader that Ushah Vance is totally fine with the decision she's made. Let's pop this up. If the book has one goal is to get ahead of the rumors that he ruined Ushah's life.
Starting point is 00:10:53 as if ruining your wife's life isn't basically a prerequisite to becoming a world leader, Hogan writes. Vance badly wants the reader to know that Ushah is totally fine with her choices, namely quitting her high-powered law job because of his career, because she was never that ambitious to begin with. Imagine that a woman who goes to Ivy League school says she was never ambitious to begin with. Hogan continued, in his exact word, words, she has, quote, the biggest mismatch between ambition and ability of any person I've ever met.
Starting point is 00:11:32 He adds that while in law school, her dream job was creating educational programming for kids, which is, A, why most people go to Yale law school, obviously, and B, suspiciously close to what she does as second lady. Vance 41 also made it clear that Usha 40 was happy to move to Ohio, loved his conversion to Catholicism at 35, and said that she is the one who wanted another baby after previously saying that she did not. He's going to have to write another book to apologize for those quotes that he put in that book. What fucking asshole. It makes me hate him even worse. I do not believe Usha is googly-eyed crazy about him, A, his choices, B. I mean, when she met him, first of all, his name was different.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I don't know. It was like John Day. And, you know, now it's just JD, but he's had like three names. So it was a different name, it was different faith. He was a pro-immigrant or pro-immigration guy wrote for the law review about it. That's who she married. And now she's married to a white supremacist. that has his head stuck up Donald Trump's ass.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Nobody likes that. Nobody wants that. All right. So speaking of Usha, let's do a little wellness check. She started a podcast. And here's the clip. Remember when the Vance family gave us another thing to make fun of them for last month when Usia Vance started a podcast where she's going to read to children despite the fact,
Starting point is 00:13:08 it seems like she's just mad or in a hostage situation. Either way, never read to children. I'm here to report that there's like five more episodes and they've only gotten worse. So enjoy. Hello and welcome to Storytime with the Second Lady. My name is Usha Vance and I'm so glad you join me today to read a story. I've always loved reading from when I was a kid until today. Read, we grow.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I'll see you next time right here on Storytime with the Second Lady. A little bit better. And to all of you out there, I'm excited for our next story time. And to all of you out there, I'm excited for our next story time when we'll share another wonderful book with another special reader. Until then, I hope you pick up a few good books to read at home. Because when we read, we grow. I'll see you next time right here on Storytime with the Second Lady. Sharing another great book with a special reader soon.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Until then, I hope all of you out there enjoy finding some new favorite. Okay, for those of you that are listening, she looks like a hostage. It looks like terrorists are standing on the other side of the camera saying, okay, and they have cue cards saying, say this, say this. Here's the thing. I don't know if she is unhappy with J.D. Vance. She just had another child with him. We always assume, well, what's wrong with this person?
Starting point is 00:14:34 What's wrong with that person? And J.D. Vance didn't just become broken. He's been broken. And broken people pick broken people. So Ushah Vance sitting there promoting reading while her husband's administration is dismantling the Department of Education and banning books is just, you know, the irony in that and the hypocrisy in that is just like Melania with her B-Best campaign. Right. But there's something more nefarious going on. Usha podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Katie Miller podcast. Baby, baby. They have this they've capitulated to the patriarchy in a way that I don't think
Starting point is 00:15:22 Usha was just you don't go from being like a progressive Democrat and then all of a sudden you're doing that garbage.
Starting point is 00:15:31 She had to have been broken to some extent before or insecure about the own color of her skin that caused her to marry J.D.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Vance. I'm not buying into that J.D. Vance just broke her. I think that she has autonomy. She lives an incredibly privileged life. She lives on the taxpayer dime. She is willfully choosing to get up and do this every single day. If she saw things that she was thought were wrong or hypocritical, she could speak out. Hell, the dominant dominatrix on only fans that Big Titty Brian, the husband of Christy Noem was in love with, she whistlebleu. She whistle blue.
Starting point is 00:16:15 When she found out that Big Titty Brian, who said he wanted to be a trans-bimbo slut named Crystal, when she found out that Big Titty Brian was married to Christy Noem, she whistleblue. She whistle blue for democracy. So I'm not one of these women that sits and blames the man for everything that goes wrong in another woman's life. Because I believe in the power of women. And I believe in feminism. And these women that carry water for the patriarchy, Ushivance, Pam Bondi, the wife of Big Titty Brian, Christy know. They know what they are doing.
Starting point is 00:16:55 These are privileged people that have autonomy. me, they have choice. And, you know, Usha Vance, I don't know what the deal is, but I don't think, so that Lauren, I am Lauren P. She's a progressive influencer. I had her on the pod. She said she thinks they had some frozen embryos. And probably we can deduce after the embrace with Erica Vance and J.D. Vance on stage,
Starting point is 00:17:24 where Erica was dry humping, basically J.D. Vance. on stage right after her husband was murdered all over the internet. Usha immediately gets, I think J.D. Vance is so, such a prostitute that it's like, Usha, we need to have another baby. And I don't know if she's just so down the rabbit hole cult with him. But everyday women are standing up like the only fans woman. And unlike Cash Patel's girlfriend who has more patriotism at the ripe old age of 27, the country music sensation, the dominatrix on only fans has shown more patriotism than any Republicans. Yeah. Period.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And honestly, I fault Ushivans. I fault the women around them because she has an opportunity to stand up for kids. She has an opportunity to stand up for herself. And she does it. Now, of course, she could be a. an abused woman. I just have seen J.D. Vance run. And I just don't think, I mean, I think I could kick his ass.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And I've never been in a fight before my life. But I really genuinely think I could fist fight him and win. Yeah. I don't know if I could because he's quite a bit taller than me. You're tall. But it would be the only because of the height. And fit. And fit.
Starting point is 00:18:45 He's a little bit chunky. Here's the thing. I've been the broken person that chose a broken person. you know, I've made a bad choice in my marriage. I'll get it. And you grind your heels and you're like, I've got to save this for dear life. So I get the very human part of it. But I mean, like at some point, you got to cry and say, I'm not doing this anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And I don't know if she ever will. Some people just never do. Yeah. And it's a tricky thing because a lot of women do get manipulated and broken and beaten down emotionally over time. And I do think that. the majority of these men are probably abusers. It's difficult for me to have empathy for the women who are providing their gender as cover for other women to go along with the murdering and human rights violations that they're doing. I mean, I just think Ushivance, like, your parents were fucking immigrants.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Your kids are mixed-race kids. And your husband defends Nazis and Nazi group. chats where they're saying evil shit, the N-word talking talking about people from, you know, her race as sand, N-I-G-G, you can fill in the rest, just really grotesque stuff. And J.D. Vance can't come out and say, I can condemn this. And let me give you an example. George Herbert Walker Bush, the smart Bush president, his wife, Barbara Bush, famously was pro-choice. And she went on Oprah. And she said, I disagree with my husband about this. I have my own opinion.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I have my own ideas. I am not president, however. And this was back in the 80s. She was a boomer, you know? And so I don't know if this is just a whole part of the fascist takeover where the women just go along with this too. I don't know. I don't need a psychologist to dissect it all. But you've seen in Republican circles Barbara Bush, she famously stood up and said she was pro-choice
Starting point is 00:20:51 and that she disagreed with George Herbert Walker Bush on the abortion issue. Yeah, we're not seeing that in this group of females. All right, and we can assume that like Ushah Vance has fallen prey to all this toxic masculinity and is deferring to it, giving deference to it. But Ushah is not the only one. Capitalism is cashing in on the masculinity crisis. Pop this up. Where can I buy a box of fragile masculine masculine.
Starting point is 00:21:21 masculinity. Man cereal gets blasted online for obvious reasons in a world where even cereal is too girly. Finally, man has a solution. Let's pop this up. No, it's not a joke. Launched in 2025, man cereal markets itself as a science-backed breakfast cereal made for men, though it's not off limits to anyone. Women can and do eat it too. According to its founders, man cereal is high protein, high creatine, low carb, gluten-free, made with no seed oil. I mean, come on. That's like, what's his name? R.F.K. Jr. is obsessed with seed oils and no added sugar. As Saha writes, in an attempt to make a cereal for men, the brand has created something arguably more haining, more heinous. Manosphere, cereal. It has exactly the type of advertising listener that you'd expect for
Starting point is 00:22:32 targeting the Maha demographic. Let's pop this up. The truck delivering says cereal got its balls back. Man cereal, creatine, high protein, keto, zero sugar. Oh, my God. But here's the thing. Man, surreal is just the latest example of things that exist purely to give men permission to use a normal product. Like you can literally just go by Cheerios. Here's some others that are focused in on this.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Pop this up. We have dude wipes, wet wipes, rebranded so men can wipe their ass without feeling weird about it. Man, candles, candles, but now men can have them in their own home. since include New York style pizza, sawdust, and fresh cut grass. And then we have the man-sized Kleenex. Tissues rebranded as big and strong for men's noses. Man crates, regular gift boxes that come in a wooden crate, you open with a crowbar
Starting point is 00:23:43 because wrapping paper is emasculating. And brose. Rosei is rosé wine. relabeled so men can drink pink without a crisis. Oh, God. I wonder if Jesse Waters has a bunch of this because, you know, he's like big on who's, you know, men don't eat ice cream like that. Men don't cross their legs.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Here's the thing. I have noticed coming across my social media a lot of these. And I can't, and I'm so mad at myself, I didn't write it down. But it was like a branded bro something that you can just buy every day. And I just thought, that is pathetic. It is fucking pathetic on every front that this is happening. And I hope they all go bankrupt. So I believe I'm right about this.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I think that women are the buyers or the purchasers of these types of things in households. And then I would say when you get to the men category, gay men are better consumers, better for the economy than straightened by far. So this Pride Month, I'm calling for a boycott on. on all of those items from all of the gay, triots, patriots, they treatets, black, trots, brown triots. Obviously, we would never buy those. But I do. I think that they will probably all end up going bankrupt.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But then the creatine and the wellness industry shit is like bananas. I mean, it's a multi, multi, multi, multi billion dollar industry. And my mother told me something a long, long time ago. So, you know, before there was GLP ones, there were always like, you know, people on all of these, like, no carb diet, no this diet, not that diet. My mother taught us at a very young age, like moderation, eating in moderation. So unfortunately, because she taught me that I've never had to struggle with my weight. But she would talk about people that would do these crash diets. And then my mother would say, well, you know, and then they just balloon right back up again in her voice.
Starting point is 00:25:58 But she said something that has always stuck with me. She said, if you could bottle up what exercise does for your body and put it on a shelf, it would fly off. And so I think people are always looking for a quick fix instead of just living a lifestyle. And our health care system enables this type of non-proactive style living. We are reactive to everything. where in Europe and other places, walking, wellness checks, moderation and food is just a part of the lifestyle. In America, it's all gas, gas, gas, and then inevitably for Americans, if there's something that can make you muscular faster, make you skinny faster, make you this faster, make you that faster, everybody wants to buy it up. And we have the capitalism prohibits us from actually teaching people and nurturing.
Starting point is 00:26:58 a culture and a society where people learn to live a healthy lifestyle, in my opinion. No, I agree with that because, you know, I've struggled with my weight and I've did the apple cider vinegar diet, you know, all I've done all the things. So I completely get that. If I would have started as a young person like exercising every day, eating a certain amount of calories, like paying attention to it, being aware of it. But it's not part of the, it's not. Culture. Yeah. No. It's not. And I'll tell you what, I'm so glad we started talking about wellness because this has been, I've been dying to bring this up to you and I keep forgetting. So this is perfect. So in Oklahoma City, there are two, okay, two new places that are IV bars,
Starting point is 00:27:48 which I thought IV bars where you got hammered, you went and got an IV for like, fluids to help with the hangover. That's what I always thought they were. But these are like, you can get all these different. So I pull up to a place and I noticed next to it, there is an IV bar for every, so now we've taken supplements, like pill supplements. And now we've escalated it to, you have to go to an IV bar to get these supplements. And I was just like, oh my God, it's two of them. It's just, it's a racket and all of that man branded stuff is just, preying on the insecurity of men that are like, these little tissues are gay. Rose is gay.
Starting point is 00:28:33 You know, like they are so insecure in their own masculinity. If you have to go buy something that affirms your masculinity, the foundation of your masculinity is not on strong footing, in my opinion. No, I completely agree. I mean, why can't you just eat Cheerios? Now, granted, they might not be infused with creativity. But I mean, like you said, just go get chariots. Like this is not new.
Starting point is 00:28:58 You haven't invented something. It's ridiculous. All these fucking pussy men, I can't stand them. Well, and it's interesting because there's this whole like, there's a sect of MAGA men that are like real into fitness. But overwhelmingly by and large, the crowds that I see at Trump rallies and that I saw at January 6th are pretty heavy. And Trump was aware of this because during January 6th, it was reported that when he was in the dining room off of the Oval Office, he said, I wish my supporters didn't look so trashy. You know, because they're all kind of dev tee, right? They're all white trash.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And so when he had his UFC fight for his birthday party, I read that the Pentagon was going to offer them to people that were in the military, but only that had. a certain height to waste ratio. No fat no fatties were allowed at the at the birthday party for Donald Trump. Is that crazy? Which, you know, it's amazing to me how abusive he is to his own supporters. Yeah. Oh. And they just like, and honestly, a lot of the Trump people that I know are are heavy. I mean, it's, it's especially in the South. And I think Oklahoma is one of the more obese states. there is. But it's amazing how he gets away with just browbeating and ridiculing his supporters and they just go back up for more and more. It's really fascinating. Well, and I mean, I know I bring this up all the time, but he's the one that's pointing out everybody's weight and
Starting point is 00:30:40 appearance. And I'm just like, are you fucking kidding me, fat ass? All right, listener, what is softer than cashmere and warmer than wool? That is not a riddle. It's a an alpaca hoodie and I have two of these. They are fabulous. They are made by PACA and PACA makes outdoor and lifestyle apparel from alpaca fiber, which is one of the world's most sustainable natural fibers. Their best selling hoodie is actually softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, but get this, it's incredibly breathable. Each one is made start to finish in Peru and features an Inca ID that's hand woven by artisans honoring generations of knowledge and traditions and connecting you closer to where your clothing comes from.

To grab your pack a hoodie, go to packa apparel.com. That's p-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-carel.com. All right, I'm incredibly busy in grocery shopping. Shopping can just be so time consuming. I love to have like Taco Tuesday or a steak night with Josh. And I go to the grocery store typically and I buy way too much food. And sometimes I don't have enough time to go get it. So then we're ordering takeout. But I've recently signed up for Omaha Steaks and I have built a custom plan on our schedule with less food waste, stocking up on high quality proteins, et cetera.

I am an American raised by Maga people in the Bible Belt, but now I live in London.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Sorry to brag that I got out. I have had it with performative vegetable virtue signaling. And what I mean here is I'm a waitress and this weekend someone ordered an omelet with four vegetables and then a green smoothie that was all vegetables and then was like, is there a side salad? Because I want to make sure I get in all my vegetables. And it's like, do you think you're better than me? Like, why don't you go up to every single person in the restaurant and tell them that
Starting point is 00:33:44 you just ordered almost entirely vegetables? Like, you sound so unfun at parties. Like she probably just chaathons. Her friend across the table looked so defeated. Like she was choosing peace on the day of the Lord. I'm not even religious, but it was a Sunday. She wanted pancakes. Like, let your friend have maple syrup.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Just eat your vegetables and be quiet. She just had to make sure I knew how many vegetables she was eating after ordering like 70 vegetables. It's like what Jen talks about with performative hydration. It was virtue signaling, eat your vegetables and shut the fuck up. It's difficult. All of this shit, all of the, it's difficult to eat with people. And I was a waitress back in the day. And before a lot of the food allergies and all of these things really caught on.
Starting point is 00:34:35 And it was mainly like, hold the onions, 86 the onions would be like the most. I couldn't imagine doing it now because the performative, the performative nature of eating. Because I'll just everybody I ever met that was like, I'm gluten free. and gluten-free would get fucking shit-face hammer drunk. And at 2 a.m., they're ordering pizza, which correct me if I'm wrong, is chock full of gluten. Yeah, it is, unless it's gluten-free. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I don't think when you're hammered, you're doing that. You know what this reminds me of? That all of these people, that all they're eating is vegetables, is how bad their gas is. And that just how I've been around somebody that only eats, plants. like plant-based. You're around somebody who eats plants and all they do is fart? I have the worst gas. So when I think about all these people like the RFK diet and all these performative
Starting point is 00:35:31 vegetable eaters, I just think, oh my God, they have the worst gas. That's what I think. Have you seen these videos online where it's like Trump? You know, he's always sitting at the resolute desk and he has like, you know, 1,500 pink-armed dipshit standing behind him. And he's sitting there dozing off-stroke victim, lip, down and then it looks like he makes a face and then the person that's made the clip makes it look like to Trump just take a shit or to Trump just pass gas then watch the people behind
Starting point is 00:36:01 him and the people are like have you seen those clips I fucking live for those clips I'm just waiting here's the thing I've watched that like my kids have like run in and showed me like oh my god Trump farted at that desk where somebody's added a fart sound to AI of course I yeah every time I'm like, let me see it. And then I'm just like, no, I think I mean, but no. Some of the people behind him, though, the way, I don't know if it's just really crafty, like real making, like, that are making the TikToks or the reels or whatever. But when you look and they're like, notice the people's face and you watch this again and look at the people behind him. And you see Trump kind of make this face.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And then the people behind him are like, and it totally tracks. I want to believe it. And everybody knows, A, he's asleep and B, old people when they're asleep. They pass gas and don't know it. Not that I think he would give a fuck if he passed gas in front of everybody. How do you have experience on that? Well, my grandparents were in their 90s when they died. And they were farting around you?
Starting point is 00:37:00 Not even knowing they did because I'd say, oh my gosh, you too did. And my grandmother would say, I hate that. People pass gas around you a lot, don't they? I guess. Have you never been having an old person that just let it slide? I'm sure I have. I'm sure I have. Okay, let's listen to the next voice memo. Okay, up next we've got Laney.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Hi, Jen, Angie, and Kylie. This is Laney from Michigan. Love the show. I just wanted to leave a voice message and tell you about some petty ass shit that I have gotten up to today. That is just making my day. So I have been getting mail from Turning Point USA, which is wild to me. someone must have sold my info. I vote progressive and I've been getting Democratic mailings for years.
Starting point is 00:37:56 And all of a sudden, I'm getting Turning Point mail, Erica Kirk mail. So gross. But today what I decided to do was stuff everything back in the prepaid envelope. Check the box for a generous donation of fill in the blank, zero dollars. So you send that back. and not only does it annoy them, but it supports the post office, and they have to pay for the postage. So I did that, and not only did I do that, but I went ahead and went to Planned Parenthood's website and made an actual donation. And when you do that, you can make the donation in honor of someone.
Starting point is 00:38:40 So I went ahead and put Erica Kirk and Turning Points address. So Planned Parenthood will be sending them a postcard, informing them of, my donation in their name. Really? That is that is patriotism right up there with the dominatrix of big titty Brian. I mean, everyday Americans are leading the way and resisting in ways that the Republican
Starting point is 00:39:08 Party is not able to do. Everyday Americans are standing up for women in ways that Erica Kirk is trying to tear down. This is brilliant. Listener. Brilliant. Patriots, gay triots, they treatets, femtriots. everybody should go to Planned Parenthood right now, donate $5, $10, $20,100, and do it in the name of Erica Kirk.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I love this idea. This is pure brilliance. Like, I'm so mad that I have never thought of this. That's the smartest thing I've ever heard. I think that is... Yeah, it's incredible. All right, let's do one more caller. I also just want to say, I've had two friends that have gotten mail from Erica Kirk in the last month as well.
Starting point is 00:39:48 So I don't know. They're buying people's... Here's the thing. I think turning point is having financial problems. I don't have any evidence for that. I just think they are. And I think that it is, it will be bankrupt soon.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And I think she's spiraling out. And I think a lot of these people that when all chips in on Trump, when all trips in on MAGA are spiraling out, because number one, he's dying. We've seen it. We just talked about him shit in his pants behind the Resulate desk, which is what appears to happen on these Instagram,
Starting point is 00:40:17 TikToks things that we look at all the time. but I think that they are just spiraling to try to get the movement to take off again. And yes, there are way too many bat shit crazy anti-women women in this world that will fight against all of this stuff. And then one day they're going to need it. And it's going to be like, oh, my God, I need this service. Or, oh, my God, this person did this to me because I was a woman. But I think Turning Point is cooked.
Starting point is 00:40:48 There's no way evolved women are going to go along with that shit. Now, these Bible thumper Bible moms, yes, they'll go along with it because they're married to pink arm dip sheds that are probably on Grindr. You know? And so, and I just think, I think that the turning point situation, much like the moms of liberty, is going to produce a huge midlife lesbianism boom in about a decade. I'm going to date. Date this. I think Maga and turn the point. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yes. I think we are going to see a huge midlife lesbianism boom at about 10 years or not. These women are buying into this. They're going along with their husbands. It's Pink Arm City. And then they will have had it at some point. And the turning point ladies are going to start scissoring each other 10 years from today. Hide and watch if not sooner.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I'm not sooner. It's going to be scissors point. Scissor point with Erica Kirk. Cisor point USA. And here's what she can do. And her coming out, just like Charlie Kirk's funeral with the pyrotechnics, she could have this stage, right? And she could open the door and then kick the door down and the hinges,
Starting point is 00:42:11 like fly off like confetti all everywhere. And she's like, surprise, surprise. And she brings out her wife. And she's like, it's no longer turning point and the fireworks grow off. She says, it's scissor point. The patriarchy. And then she has like a pride flag and all this shit. And everybody's like, we still hate your guts.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Yeah. We still hate you. Oh my God, that's the scissor point. That's one of my favorite thing. We've touched on this a little, but if you go on a TikTok deep dive, there is a lot of lesbian investigation of Erica Kirk. Her past roommate. Really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Her past comments on. on Instagram, there's a whole black hole to go into on that. I like that type of research. I support it. Yeah. I'm all in. I don't support it on everyday people that are living their life privately, but on somebody like Erica Kirk, who will not shut the fuck up, who gave a weird video in a sniper outfit. And, you know, I had a firework funeral for her husband, has never once talked about gun control or mental well-being.
Starting point is 00:43:20 being none of this shit. Fuck her. I love the people investigating her. Scissor point. Cisor point. Okay. Up next we've got Jackie. And Jen, this reminds me of a commercial you and I saw just the other day.
Starting point is 00:43:37 What's up, team? I'm Jackie. I live in New Jersey. And like pumps, I've been watching a lot of the women's world series because I am obsessed with softball. And I love it. Okay. But that also means that I've been subject to
Starting point is 00:43:51 the same three commercials after every top and bottom of every inning. And so what I've had it with is just this marketing that we do for men. For example, Weber Grills comes on and they're like, they're like, Weber Grills, the most manly shit you can do. Put your meat here on the grill. Cook it up. Put your man meat on here. Flip it over, but not for too long because you don't want it to be well done because you like it rare because you're a fucking man Weber grills you know and they put the the man with like the lowest possible most masculine voice on there and then of course they need to say it the obvious because of their target audience and so they're like Weber grills sold wherever Weber grills are sold and so that's what
Starting point is 00:44:42 I've had it with is just this crazy target marketing that is just so gross and like how can these people not understand that that their target getting you and and and and I've just I've had it okay in Oklahoma it's really bad it's like for truck Oklahoma standard and this is something here's something I want to say to all of the brave blue dots in a red state that proudly uh cause good trouble and let the people around you know that you are not down with their dehumanization with their taking away women's right to choose with their racism, et cetera. Those of you that are quiet about it, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:45:28 That's worse. But to all of the loud and proud progressives in blue states, I'm not talking to you. But I saw something that came across my feed and it was like, such and such exemplifies the Oklahoma standard. And I was like, hmm, what is the Oklahoma standard? 50th in education? 50th for women. Is that the standard?
Starting point is 00:45:51 these people went and you could vote to raise the minimum wage and they voted no governor dipshit letting us donors out who like practically killed a person and a drunk and a driving thing like it's just i think what amazes me about republican christians is how good they think they are at shit when they're literally a walking breathing example of how not to do something Like Oklahoma is an example of how not to govern, how to race to the bottom. But Governor dipshit, Governor Stick gets out and he's like, we're talked to in state. I'm like, and what? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:32 Like, what are you talking about? That's just, it's not true. It's objectively not true. The thing about it is, I hear that shit all the time. What is the Oklahoma standard? Like you said, like poor people. murder, like all the gun violence, I had the statistic pulled up of all the shit.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Like everything that's bad that you don't want in your community is in Oklahoma. And when he said that about the top 10 state or the Oklahoma standard, shut the fuck up. The standard should be higher. If this is your standard, you should want more. You should be better. but they don't want to be better. It's devastating. Like living there for so long and watching people actively go out and vote against the well-being of everybody
Starting point is 00:47:28 and just lap up all of this propaganda without any critical thinking. And when I read the results of the most recent primary where they put that state question to raise the minimum wage for one of the poorest states in the country. And I think about all of the places I've been. in Oklahoma where people work minimum wage. And then here's the fucked up thing about it. So if you live in Oklahoma, there's an ice cream store called Brahms, and it's delicious. Like, and it's a chain in Oklahoma and Texas.
Starting point is 00:48:02 They have great ice cream, great shit. The drive-through is notoriously difficult to get through. And I would always remind my kids and husband, like these people make minimum wage. Don't be a dick. Do not be a dick. I'd end up going through with another mom or something. And just the way these privileged white people treat people that make minimum wage and how demeaning and punching down they are to them is something I've witnessed my entire life in Oklahoma City.
Starting point is 00:48:35 So not only do the people that work minimum wage, not only were they probably able to go out and vote for a higher wage, the people who should be advocating for them don't. And it's just, it's really, it's really disgusting when you see Republican policies, Republican supermajorities, and especially a religious state with mega churches on every corner that are making hundreds of millions of tax-free dollars, that the churches aren't getting skin in the game saying, go vote. I mean, they're doing it, go vote for Trump. Yeah. It's just, it's really disgusting. It is a, it is an example of by design, Oklahoma is 50th in education. And they did that on purpose. And the votes, the election results on Tuesday show you that Project 2025 make a dumb electorate, make an electorate that go vote against their well-being and that won't even think about a greater cause other than themselves. Like, of course, we need to pay people more than $7 an hour.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Right. keeping people done works because they get everything they want in Oklahoma. They get the race to the bottom. The oil and gas people make a shit ton of money. White people reign supreme and they get all of the rubs to go out and vote against their self-interest. And they get the Christians to run around and think that they are a holy state. And they do all of this shit without impunity and all the megachurch pastors in Oklahoma, you guys, they've got hundreds of millions in the bank and an airplane hangar with private planes in them and they're all MAGA. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:15 All of, I mean, I can attest to every single thing you just said. Yes, yes, yes, yes. You know, and I guess what really strikes me is all, I mean, like, and I, I did it. So I understand, like, unless something hits you, you don't notice it. You don't pay attention. It doesn't affect you. So you have no empathy. You're elitist.
Starting point is 00:50:38 You're selfish, narcissistic, all the things. But then, like, when it comes to, I thought there would be a huge wake-up moment, like with, especially when women's rights were taking away, that women would stand up and say, we're not allowing this. Full stop. We have daughters. You know, now they're wanting to take away a woman's right to vote. It just, the women for me are the most disappointing. And again, very religious, doesn't happen to them. But I think it's a privilege, like, if you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:51:11 have to worry about that because if it happened to you or your daughter, you could go somewhere else and, you know, do what you wanted to have reproductive freedom. And it's just, it's stunning to me. I still could just, honestly, I could sit down and cry about it sometimes, how ridiculous it is, people voting against their own self-interest. And I have some empathy for it because I've done it, but you have to do better. You have to evolve. You have to educate. yourself and it just it enrages me yeah i don't have any empathy for it i've none because on a lot on a lot of levels a lot of the people that do this are consciously aware of how cruel they are they edit the things they say in front of some people and then when they say something like well i don't care that
Starting point is 00:51:59 doesn't affect me but they wouldn't say that around somebody else there is a willful uh cruelty in all of this and there it's hard for me to have empathy for people to have all the privilege in the world that actively brag about, well, that doesn't affect me. Well, shut the fuck up. And it is a cultural problem in the Bible Belt. And it is symptomatic of Republican supermajorities with a big dose of megachurch culture in there. And it creates a culture where women and men that go to these megachurches think their higher power does personal little favors for them.
Starting point is 00:52:39 little it's not about like what the pope talks about like these big gestures of uh genocide in Gaza or um you know hunger poverty consolidation of wealth with power evil people it's not about any of that they keep you dumb down by focusing on like well you know if you want that raise you're going to have to tithe and you know and it's all these little and then then i would hear people growing up like, you know, I really needed an extra couple hundred bucks. And I got a gig to do like a babysitting job. And it's because I tied that Sunday. And I want to be like, if you wouldn't have tied, you still would have gotten the phone call for the babysitting job. But it creates a culture that is uniquely narcissistic and that traffics and recreational cruelty. Because the women I
Starting point is 00:53:35 know that do this are abundantly aware. They are. are aware that their mindset is cruel and they say knowingly, I know that and I don't care. They say it. So I don't have empathy for people that can look me in the eye and say they don't care about other people. I just don't. I have empathy for like the rural Oklahoma and that's never been anywhere but their church. They don't have any money.
Starting point is 00:54:01 The church is the only place they go and they're just not educated. I think women and upper middle class people and people with access to. the internet and all of those things. I don't have empathy for them because they should know better. They could know better. But I do like. I agree with you about the rule thing. Like they've been, nobody's delivered for them materially.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Ever. Yeah. In the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. And it's, I agree with you. I have empathy for that too. But it is the aforementioned people that we're talking about that enabled that. I saw on this, on this election to raise the.
Starting point is 00:54:39 the minimum wage. It was the rural areas voted to raise it and it was the urban richer area codes that voted no. And that tells tells you everything about how rigged the system is and how unempathetic white Christian capitalists are as a whole. It's pretty gross. All right, that's all we have. Please like, subscribe, comment, pre-order my book, not today, fascists. Here it is. here's the screenshot of it or not the screenshot the book of it
Starting point is 00:55:10 whatever just order it we'll see you all later
