Starting point is 00:00:00 Listen up, patriots, gaitriots, and natriots. We have a new podcast that has dropped. It's called IHIP News. It's Monday through Friday, every day, 15 to 20 minute hot takes on the political landscape of the United States of America, always served with a side of petty grievances. We are on all the available platforms, Apple, Spotify, Google, whatever, if you get your podcasts and YouTube. Please go rate, subscribe and review so that we will chart upwards with America's greatest legal mind pumps. Pumps, what does an eagle say?
Starting point is 00:00:36 Cacaw! A little bit more enthusiasm. Cacaw! That's it. That's, that's, Cacaw! That's the patriotism that this country needs right there. Ready? One, two, three. Hello, patriots, gaitriots and they-triots.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Hello, patriots, gaitriots, and they-triots. Cacaw! Cacaw! Cacaw! I mean, we're back from the DNC and it was pure magic. It really was. It was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. Just the enthusiasm, the entertainment, the people. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:01:22 There's one thing I've had it with with the DNC. What? You and I over packing like a couple of washed up old drag queens. At least you just had one bag. I had two. Pumps had two. Two bags. Suitcases. It was ridiculous. I was disgusted with us and the grotesque over packing. She was so mad when she was stomping around packing on Thursday night. She was like, I am so disgusted with myself. I am disgusted. But my favorite part, we're going to give you guys a complete download on the DNC.
Starting point is 00:01:59 This is the behind the scenes of the DNC. So everybody knows that Pumps is a chronic vapor. Yeah, big time vapor. And to get into the United Center was a big ordeal. I mean, you've got all of these major, powerful people there. And then obviously, major podcasters, cliff broaching. Right. So the security was tight. Tight. You have to go through all these barriers and you get through Secret Service.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Well, Peps, why don't you tell them what happened? Okay. So we go through the first night and he takes my vape. The Secret Service takes my vape and says, I can't have it. And I was just like, well, fuck. A little backstory. I couldn't find it for like three weeks. And so the place I had, I bought every single one that they had, which was four. So that I took all four to the, to Chicago. So I had four. So as we walk in day one, now I'm down to three. So luckily, our friend Bella, I had stashed a vape in her backpack that didn't get confiscated.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Go to the next day, I get another vape confiscated. So I'm like on pins and needles, because now I'm down to two. And I'm like, what if they take the one I have, then I don't for the day? Like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, panic. So Bella suggested that I put it in a pocket and put a bunch of tampons and pads on top of it. And that's what I did. So I was able to get in. Let me tell you guys what pumps suggested. Pumps was so desperate when she was to vape stand. She suggested cramming a vape up her ass, which you know the major video that went viral that kind of launched this podcast
Starting point is 00:03:53 is you cramming that spoon up your ass. And so, I mean, she said it, she goes, I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I'm two vapes down. I might just have to cram one of these up my ass. Right, but my question was, would it set off a metal detector? That was what I was concerned about.
Starting point is 00:04:07 That was my big, I mean, if I thought my choices were cram the vape up my ass to get in or have no vape, I'd fucking lube that thing up. Oh, I knew you were about to cram that vape up your ass. I knew if you were one vape down. Oh my gosh, if I was down to one vape. It's in the ass.
Starting point is 00:04:24 It's in the ass. Oh my gosh, if I was down to one vape. It's in the ass. It's in the ass. Oh my gosh. All right, let's talk about all of the star sightings that we had. So, I mean, obviously we saw Pete Buttigieg, I mean, incredible. One of the best looking men I've ever seen, hands down. You guys, we're standing in front of our hotel and we see like this big hubbub of cameras and entourage.
Starting point is 00:04:50 We look over and it's daddy Newsome. Oh my gosh, he is. Guys. He's almost too perfect. Like he looks more like an actor than a politician. I think he is a fabulous politician. He is so incredibly gifted and he is in person. As good looking as he looks on TV, as telegenic and photogenic as he is in person.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's better. Wow. He's a wow. I mean, he's like your jaw drops. He's so hot. And then his voice is like deep. He's got a great smile. Oh my, yeah. Great hair. He's super tall. Great hair. Yeah., yeah. Great hair. He's super tall. Great hair. Yeah. Yeah, he was hot.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So then before we left, she said there's two people that we've got to meet when we're at the DNC. I said, okay, who are they? She says Nicole Wallace. And for those of you that don't watch MSNBC, Nicole Wallace is an anchor on MSNBC that Pimps is completely obsessed with. I love her. The second one is George Conway.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And for those of you that don't follow politics as closely as Pumps and me, George Conway is the ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway. And Kellyanne Conway is that blonde Trump-er that was his campaign manager. Anyway, they're divorced. He's, you know, completely gone to the left. He is a member of the Lincoln Project, yak, yak. So she's hocking out, sitting outside. She gets a pass to go to Press Row and she's sitting outside the MSNBC studios with the security guards for hours.
Starting point is 00:06:22 That's why on a lot of our social media clips, you see me running around with Austin Schoep, because Pumps hates to do that. She was hocking out MSNBC. I was extremely busy. Never found Nicole Wallace, because as it turns out, she was in the New York studio the entire time.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Which I didn't know until Thursday, which I was so upset, because I spent two days. Two days hocking out the door at the MSNBC. And I saw everybody else and their dog. Like I saw all CNN's people, all CBS's people, all ABC's people, all Fox's people didn't give a shit. But my girl Nicole Wallace was in New York. All right. Then you guys, at one point we're up in media row and we're about to go interview, I think it's J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois. So we're standing out in the hallway and it's like you just start seeing
Starting point is 00:07:12 big time names pass by. And we see the mother of dragons, Nancy Pelosi, with her little entourage, and she's just walking through, I mean, boss bitching, total boss bitching, like nobody's business. And then we're standing there and Jesse Waters comes by. Pumps and I immediately change. We go from like joy to complete like gross. Yeah, pillars of sand. And I saw on his broadcast, like on Instagram, somebody clipped it and he goes, you know, this is the first day of the DNC. Nobody is like smiling here. Nobody is asking journalists for selfies. And I wanted to be like, yeah, because I remember two specific times that you walked by Jesse Waters and it was
Starting point is 00:08:01 an immediate kaggle, recoil recoil like just a complete gag. First of all, I wouldn't be caught dead with a selfie with Jesse Waters, full stop. Plus his die job is way too dark. It's bad. And then Sean Hannity. So Sean Hannity comes walking by and he looks over at Pumps and Me for some reason, I have no idea why, and he smiles and waves at us and says, hey guys. And I mean, it was death stare.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Right. I mean, we were both just like, ugh, repulsed. And here's the thing, you might think, oh, well, he's just doing his job. And it's like, no, we were on Fox News for 10 minutes, Jesse Waters Show, after we interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris back in March. And for about 10 days, would you say, Kathy? About 10 days, 14 days, we received death threats, phone calls where people would tell us they wish that we get raped with baseball bats.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And so these guys, Jesse Waters and Sean Hannity, they just stir up the worst, most toxic people in the United States of America because I've never seen so much hatred. And I mean, who cares? We interviewed the vice president. It was a, you know, it wasn't even a super in depth interview because we're not journalists, we're podcasters. And that was just such vile response from Fox viewers. So I just don't have a smile. I don't either. I don't have a thought of goodwill for those people. Further, you know that behind Trump's back, they talk about what a nutty is. So yeah, it was full blown death stare from us. Yeah, we know how they feel about him because we've seen the texts. And they just bring out, they go to
Starting point is 00:10:01 the lowest common denominator, fear mongering, hateful, cruel, and then they want to walk around and be like, Hey guys, go fuck yourself. Oh, tell them the imaginary conversation we were going to have. Oh yeah. So then of course, after Sean walks by, then we're like, he walks by, I'm like, Oh my God, it was the devil himself. And I was like, God, I wish I would have said like, oh, hey, Sean, come here, let's get a selfie. Just kidding. Go fuck yourself, Sean Hannity. And then Pumps and I can go on and on about that for hours.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah, it was pretty funny. And then we ran into, we hung out with Austin all the time, Austin's show, who we love. We filmed an episode with him that dropped on YouTube. And Austin has fabulous takes on politics. But we ran into leftist Hassan Piker all the time. Everywhere. And Pumps would always want to get a photograph with Hassan.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Because he's so cute. And so every time we'd pose, she'd go and put her arm right around him. She'd go, Hassan, put your arm around me so everybody thinks we're in love. And Hassan would just go, okay. And he would just do it. And the great thing about like Hassan and Austin, because they're content creators, they don't give a shit. They'll film anything with you. Right. Hey, let's play How Did Her Hit It. Okay. Hey, Austin, I've lost pumps because she's talking out MSNBC. Can we run around the DNC and film how did her hit it? Okay. Hassan, put your arm around me. Somebody thinks we're in love. Okay. I mean, they'll just do anything. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Pumps, our ability to suck and then wake up the next day and suck more than the previous day is undefeated. It's unparalleled. We are the champions. If you would like to see how bad we suck, please join us in Seattle in September or New York City in November for, you know, just some world-class shit-talking. That's right. Live. Live and in person. That's right. Live. Live and in person. That's right. Pops, I feel like all anyone is talking about are these weight loss jabs and GLP ones. I mean everywhere you turn around people are talking about these GLP ones but apparently they're hard to get. Yes, as you know I have used the GLP ones and they're really really helpful because weight
Starting point is 00:12:26 loss is really hard. But what's great about HRS is you don't have to wait for your medication and you get a consult with the doctor and they'll tell you exactly which one you need. Listener, Pumps is absolutely correct. HRS is changing women's healthcare by providing access to GLP-1 weekly injections with the same active ingredient as Ozempic and WegoVe as well as oral medication kits. Through HRS, weight loss plans are more affordable with compound GLP-1 injections starting at $199 per month with a 12-month

Starting point is 00:14:50 Okay, because we posted a lot of political stuff, the Trumpers came out on our social media like crazy. Oh, good. And I found some comments. Okay. All right. Here's one. M. Levy, 2019, responds, your political talk has ruined me as a follower. I used to love to listen to your podcast as
Starting point is 00:15:05 a way to escape our crazy political world and for endless laughs. I am choosing to no longer follow those who are a part of the problem. Hashtag sad it had to end this way. Hashtag why couldn't you just stay fun hashtag enough of the political talk hashtag hashtag hashtag something hilarious about this is number one she put hashtags in her comment but here's something that i want to point out this woman is white okay and i've only seen white people particularly white women in the comment section that try to tell us what we can and cannot say on our very own podcast. And this idea that we're supposed to curate our podcast for the sensibilities of these
Starting point is 00:15:57 suburban white women is peak entitlement. Absolutely. And what a privilege they have that they don't have to worry about politics. No, they don't have to worry about vulnerable groups because they just attend their mega church. And here's your worldview. It's very black and white. It's very small. It can fit in this teeny tiny little box. Don't worry about anything outside of that. You don't have to worry about LGBTQ plus rights. You have to worry about minority rights. You don't have to worry about guns because you live in a gated community somewhere and you probably homeschool your kids. So I mean, that's just,
Starting point is 00:16:37 I've had it with that. Okay, here's one. This one's great. Brando721 says, listening to these two Karens is glorious. It's like Joy Behar on Ritalin with even less intelligence. Hey, I'll take any comparison to Joy Behar's compliment. Okay, here's my favorite one. This is directed at you. And this is from Red Pill Please Doc. Red Pill Please Doc trolls our posts all the time. I want to say to Red Pill Please Doc, and their avatar is just a red pill, show your
Starting point is 00:17:20 face and show your name, you pussy. Because they just go on every single one of our posts and post something, but nobody knows what their name is, nobody knows what their face is because they're too big of a pussy. At least you and I get on camera. These are our names, these are our faces, these are our opinions, this is our take on everything.
Starting point is 00:17:40 And we are sitting here doing it because we are women that are strong enough to do so. But Red Pill Doc takes issue with you. Okay. And they say any lawyer that has even the smallest amount of knowledge knows the charges were rigged and full of BS. And that also know the quote, 34 counts are effectively one offense. the quote, 34 counts are effectively one offense. Since Pumps, Pumps, Pumps is clearly a fucking useless lawyer, she believes and propagates the bullshit. What an embarrassment to the legal
Starting point is 00:18:17 fraternity she is. What I have to say to Red Pill, please, please talk is Pumps is America's greatest legal mind. Thank you. You're welcome. And Pumps shows her face and her name on camera every day and you hide behind an avatar and some fake name and just traffic in all of this bullshit propaganda. And your candidate, Donald Trump, incited a violent insurrection, promotes people that beat up cops, while at the same time says he's pro-cops. It is the biggest psychological case study for sociopathy that I have ever seen in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:19:08 So fuck you, red pill doc. Do not talk about America's greatest legal mind. Okay? You know my feelings are just so hurt. You say she's old. You call her a whore. She's into all that. I prefer you call me a whore.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Do not question her legal prowess. That's right. Thank you. Yeah. All right. So we at the DNC, we had the opportunity to interview so many cool people. We interviewed Michael Cohen, who read Pill Dog, was the star witness in the 34 felony convictions of your guy that you probably sit and dry hump in your 24 7365, Donnable Lecter. But
Starting point is 00:19:47 we interviewed him that's on our YouTube channel. But we were able to sit down with Elizabeth Warren, the senator from the great state of Massachusetts. And she's also from Oklahoma. We were able to sit down with her and play a game of had it or hit it. Kylie, or should I say Kathy, let's play that clip. Okay, we are here with Senator Elizabeth Warren, a woman with whom we have a lot in common with. And you may think, how did two women from Oklahoma City have something in common with a senator from Massachusetts? Senator?
Starting point is 00:20:20 From Oklahoma. That's right. Born and raised, born in Oklahoma City, grew up part of the time in Norman and the rest in Oklahoma City. All right, we're going to play a game with you called had it or hit it. Had it or hit it. Had it means no, hit it means yes. All right, I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Okay. Had it or hit it, large crowd sizes at political events. Oh, hit it. Are you kidding? I'm loving this. Come on down. What about the chef's kiss last night with the double arena? You know, all I can say is we have a candidate
Starting point is 00:20:58 who can fill two arenas simultaneously. Do you know any other presidential candidates who've ever tried that? I don't. Neither do I. I can't think of one. Not even one. I can't even think. And if I were to think of one, I think that that same person has never won the popular vote. Really has a problem with metrics. That's right. In fact, has lost the vote by millions. Millions, I believe. I believe it is millions. I think it is actually millions. Yeah, I do too. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Had it or hit it, Project 2025? Oh, had it. And we gotta cut that off before it spreads everywhere in this country. Project 2025 really is a vision of an America that's run by two groups. One is the billionaires who just figure out how to squeeze more money out of everybody else in this country and the other are the extremists who, I get it, they may have a point of view about who should have access to abortion or how people who love people differently from the way they do.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I get it, they have that point of view, but they want to control all the rest of us and they want to put the government in our bedrooms and our examining rooms. We just can't do that. We can't build a country based on catering to the billionaires and the extremists. We've got to build a country that has room for all of us and has room for people who aren't all cut out of the same cloth and who do things a little different,
Starting point is 00:22:39 but a chance for all of us to grow and build a strong future and to really thrive. And how important is it for all of the people that live under these draconian laws, like states like Oklahoma, total abortion ban, 10 commandments published and posted in all public schools, they've removed all discrimination protections for LGBTQ+, all of that has been just eviscerated. How important is it, this campaign cycle, that we deliver a mandate so that the people that are suffering from this in these red states can get relief?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Oh, you put it exactly the right way. We have got to vote. We have got to turn out and vote. Now, I want to say, it's not just vote. That's something that's going to happen in just a little under 11 weeks. It's that we've got to be out there now. We've got to be out there, go to KamelHarris.com and figure out how to get signed up to make some phone calls, to do some texts, to pitch in $10.
Starting point is 00:23:40 But we've got to do it now because we've got to show everybody that if you care, if you really do think women ought to be the ones who are making these decisions, that doctors shouldn't be prosecuted for delivering the healthcare that people need, if you really do believe that our LGBTQ plus brothers and sisters and kids and friends and neighbors and co-workers deserve the kind of respect and care that all of us should get. If you believe those things then we need to raise your voice now during the election. This is a focus point. You raise your voice now and the funniest thing happens. People say, whoa I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I thought it was just me it turns out she does and she does
Starting point is 00:24:31 and she does you know what that makes it stronger and that gets us in and gets us there now so look vote you believe it. But don't wait don't wait and just say I'm going to vote on the day get involved now raise your voice now. Talk to people now because you'd be surprised. It's out there. That's why I think our podcast has kind of gotten traction. I love it. Okay, had it or hit it. Trickle down economics. Oh, had it, please. Come on, 40 years, we have the evidence. Trickle down economics is another way to say
Starting point is 00:25:09 the rich get richer and powerful get more powerful. It does not work. What's the better vision is we say, the richer you are, the more you're paying taxes. And when you pay that, you billionaires, then we're gonna use that to invest in roads and bridges and education. We're gonna make sure that we have an America
Starting point is 00:25:34 that works for everyone and works for everyone means those who've got more pay a little more and all of our kids have a real chance, a real chance to build a future. We call it trickle down incompetence over at the iPad podcast. You got it right. I'm going to use that. Okay. I'm going to use that. Yeah, trademark. Okay, last one. Last one because the senator is so busy, had it or hit it, Harris Walls. Whoa! Hit it! I am ready, hit it girls. We gotta do this.
Starting point is 00:26:11 It is a moment, I get it. We're the underdogs, this is gonna be tough. I've seen the electoral map, I've seen how close all the polling is, but we fight with a joyful heart. Yes, we do. Because we know, ultimately, this is the country we want to build. We can do this. Senator Warren from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City, I think that our state makes great women.
Starting point is 00:26:36 They do. Why can't I say, okay gals, you've got to watch out there. That's right. Thank you so much, Senator Warren. Thank you so much, Senator. Thank you for having me and thank you for the work you're doing. I love Elizabeth Warm and what's weird is that she really is from Oklahoma. We talked about burger places, where she was here. I mean, she knew everything about it. I mean, she still comes here and visits. It was really cool. She is so engaging. She's incredibly smart and she is such a great voice for progressive causes because what I'm really interested in is for the progressive slash liberal slash democratic movement to take the moral case for progressive ideals to the American voter. So specifically I'm talking about people that attend mega churches or some form of, you know, Christian
Starting point is 00:27:26 church, and they're able to justify voting for Donald Trump. And in that justification, the only thing they prioritize in that is their own personal tax break. That's it. Below that, they don't care about if poor people have access to healthcare. They don't care about lifting up vulnerable communities. Many of them, when they have children that are members of the LGBTQ plus community, they get pushed aside and bullied by their own families.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And so I feel like the next step for progressive causes is to take this case, Like the next step for progressive causes is to take this case, this moral case to these people who claim moral superiority over the rest of us because they attend a church and tithe there. And I've just, I've completely had it with that as everybody knows. And that are morally bankrupt, ethically bankrupt and love their dear leader. Yeah, it's, it's gross. Yeah. And it's happening nationwide, not just
Starting point is 00:28:26 in Oklahoma, because there's plenty of crazy ass Trumpers in New York, in California. And it is a cancer. These people have a real fundamental problem with cognitive dissonance, how they are able to act like they're so morally superior because they're Christian, while at the same time denigrate and belittle and ridicule people that are vulnerable. And I'll tell you one story about the DNC. So we were walking through the hallways getting from one place to another and I hear this gentleman, younger gentleman, screaming Jennifer Welch, Jennifer Welch. And I stop and I turn around and he's kind of out of breath and he
Starting point is 00:29:10 said, I'm not going to say his name, but he says, my name is blank and I'm from North Carolina. And his eyes filled up with tears. And he said, I grew up in rural North Carolina and my parents are huge Trumpers. They're huge Christians, and I'm gay, and they've just had a really hard time with it. And I was broken and sad and rejected by my parents. And I started listening to your podcast and it healed me hearing two women that sound and look like my parents advocate for me and saying that I have value and that I matter, it healed me. And listener, this was an unintended consequence
Starting point is 00:29:55 to our podcast. This is genuinely the way that Pumps and I are as a default setting. We embrace the LGBTQ plus community extra hard because we know that their parents denigrate them and bully them. We embrace minority groups extra hard because we grew up in white suburban America and we know how racist white people are in white circles. So we feel like we have to love those people harder because we know, especially living in a red state where the majority of people here are, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:32 oh yeah, I'm a Christian. Yep, I love my country. But only if you look and are a certain way. Right. And so that's why you see liberals in red states are some of the toughest liberals That's why you see liberals in red states are some of the toughest liberals you'll ever meet because we're on the front lines of this hate and this default setting that these people have to further diminish. They use their privilege to further diminish vulnerable groups. And so Pumps and I feel like we have to really hug and lift these groups up. But seeing that friend, that listener from North Carolina, and I just hugged him and then we took selfies and then we made a video and he was smiling. Knowing that that makes a difference to so many listeners is so important to Pumps and
Starting point is 00:31:23 me because it's really real. The rejection that members of the LGBTQ plus community get from their families, which is the most painful one, from their churches, from their communities, and then from their politicians. And then you see states like ours that are removing discrimination protections for LGBTQ plus members and for
Starting point is 00:31:47 minorities and for women. It's, everything is on the line in this election. If you give a shit about anybody other than your own personal bank account. And there's a lot of people that's all they care about. And they just say it. Oh, I just vote for my finances and that's it. And I can, I can just be a dick on everything else and close my eyes and stick my head in the sand.
Starting point is 00:32:09 There's millions of Americans like that. Sadly. No, absolutely. And I feel like this election more so than we've ever had because we do have Project 2025. We've had Roe overturned. I mean, like, they're telling us what they're going to do. We have to be so active and get out and support these people just because they don't look like us. They have the same value as humans as we do, and they don't want anything more than we have. They just want to be equal. I think anybody that tries to say, oh, well, you know, I'm not for equality or you're just a fucking asshole.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Pumps on Saturdays and Sundays after having worked all week and having to be dolled up, I really just want to be in lounge wear. But sometimes I like to go run an errand, and I need to have lounge wear that is comfy at home, but somewhat cute when I'm out and about.

Like you're on Instagram, it's right before bedtime, some ad pops up and you're like, oh, that dress looks cute. You order it, it comes in, not cute at all. And it's okay, no harm, no foul.

Zocdoc.com slash I've had it. One thing I loved about Michelle Obama's speech
Starting point is 00:37:02 is she talked about the affirmative action of generational wealth. And that generational wealth is something that is very prevalent in upper class white people's worlds. And so you have these people, I know people that have benefited from generational wealth, yet politically they diminish causes like affirmative action. They diminish causes like DEI. When in actuality, they're the ones who have started the 100-yard dash on the 90-yard line. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And it's been very easy for them. Like I'll give you an example. There's a guy that lives here in Oklahoma City and when I was probably a 25 year old, 26 year old baby decorator, he hired me to do some interior designing at his office. And he kind of had an office for show because he had inherited a bunch of money. So I'm over there and I'm installing the things that he bought and it was a small office and he goes hey Jennifer Come here. I'll never forget this because it was so degrading and he pulled me over to his desk And he opened up the big file drawer and he goes this is where I keep all my porn and it was just full of all these porn magazines like Completely and this is probably like the late 90s And it was just full of all these porn magazines, like, completely. And this
Starting point is 00:38:26 is probably like the late 90s. It's just full. I'm talking like 50, 75 porn magazines. Two months later, I'm sitting on my front porch, get the mail out, and he's running for state senator and there's a photograph on the postcard from him this guy for state senate sitting on a sofa with his small children reading a bible and I just thought you know that's it and this guy seemed around town still he's the biggest trump or you could ever imagine so here here's what you got here. White dude who inherited a shit ton of money, who has a huge porn problem, who has no, you know, but that was completely denigrating to me as a 25, 26 year old young professional. I was so shocked by it. I didn't respond. Right. It's so shocking.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I didn't respond to it then as the way I would have now. I was just kind of like, oh, ha ha. But it really stuck with me because I found it to be just so denigrating. But I was kind of paralyzed when he did that. And then he's running for Senate with his generational wealth, feigning like he's interested in the Bible with his kids. And now he's the biggest Trump supporter and probably, you know, traffic's in all this, oh, she's a DEI candidate, or degrading the Obamas.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And that story is so common. That's the personal one to me, but it's so common in a lot of white circles. You know, what Michelle Obama and Barack Obama have had to do, what Kamala Harris has done, what Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio what Kamala Harris has done, what Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has done, compared to what the porn guy client of mine that ran
Starting point is 00:40:12 for state Senate, it's not even comparable. No! It's not even comparable. This guy's barely had to work a day in his life. His office was just for show and probably to get his wife away from him. Clearly we know it was a place where he could look at porn all the time. We know what he was doing. It was his office. Yeah. And then when he gets home, he fake reads the Bible with his kids.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And so you just see that type of hypocrisy a lot, which is why I'm hopeful this election, that if we can take this message of progressive politics for moral reasons, specifically to women, because women have had so much taken away from them because of Trumpism, because of his Supreme Court appointees, I think that we could have a very large electoral mandate. I hope so. I mean, I feel good about it. All right, and in that
Starting point is 00:41:05 same vein and speaking about generational wealth, we interviewed the governor of Illinois, a billionaire, a real billionaire by the name of J.B. Pritzker. And this is what always amazes me about a lot of billionaires that you see, not all, but some. They have all of this wealth. And when they have it, they're still trying to get more. And they vote for policies that give them even more wealth. And they feel so entitled to not have to pay taxes. But you have a contrast to that in JB Pritzker, who
Starting point is 00:41:40 is demanding a more progressive tax system. And you can see the full interview with JB Pritzker on our YouTube channel or on our other podcast, IHIP News, if you like to listen versus watch. But we're gonna play right now our game of had it or hit it with Governor Pritzker. Governor, we're gonna play a game with you. We always end all of our episodes.
Starting point is 00:42:01 It's a game called had it or hit it. So if you don't like something, you'll say had it., and if you like it, you'll say, Hit It. Okay? All right, Hat It or Hit It, deep dish pizza. Oh, Hit It. Are you kidding? We're in Chicago. That's right.
Starting point is 00:42:15 All right. I asked a congressman from New York the other day and it was a big Hat It. I'll tell you his name after the broadcast. Well, they're wrong though. Those guys from New York don't even know pizza. They don't understand pizza. Okay, had it or hit it public education.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Oh, hit it. We need to help. In fact, we need to do a lot more for public education. Yep. All right. Had it or hit it book banning. Well, had it. And we actually passed a ban on book bans.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I love that. I love that. Oh, that's like a reverse ninja move. Right? Yeah. Way to go, guys. like a reverse ninja move, right? Yeah. Where'd it go, guys? They don't know what to do with it. Their eyes are going like this. The right wing, because they don't... What do you mean you ban book bans? I can't ban books anymore? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:54 You know, history is never kind to the book banners. Never. Ever. It never ends well, does it? Okay. Had it or hit it, Oprah? Hit it. And I say that just hesitantly a little bit because she used to live in Chicago, we loved her here. Then she got up and left, and I was very disappointed that she left because she was an advocate for Chicago.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Yes. So, but I, look, she's special, she is. She gave a great speech and the endorsement, so hit it. Okay, had it or hit it. We just spoke about this, but I have to get it on the record, Governor. Had it or hit it JD Vance. Well, had it. And by the way, they should hide him. Is that another category? It's his own category. Hide him. It should be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:38 It's so cringy. Watching him campaign is so cringy. And you know, if you notice DeSantis and you notice JD Vance, they try to be Trump and they face plant. Whenever we finally rid ourselves of Trumpism, we're still gonna have a problem with the existing cult. But the ones that try to mimic him, you know, lion Ted Trump's words, not mine.
Starting point is 00:44:04 We call him Governor Kitten Hills because he wears the platform heels. DeSantis. DeSantis. That's what we call him on our podcast. I know. I love that bunch of lyrics. But you know, they are never able to, they don't have the riz.
Starting point is 00:44:17 As much as I dislike Donald Trump, he has a little bit of crazy riz. Yeah. I have to say that I, first of all, JD Vance, I mean, I watched a video of him, I don't know if you remember when he was on a tarmac and he went to look at the airfield. Like Stalker City. Yeah, and then he comes back and you know, I mean, truly cringe-worthy, you know, that he says, oh I just want to see the airplane that I'm going to have when I become vice president. Like give me a break. This is what you think people want to see the airplane that I'm going to have when I become vice president. Like, give me a break.
Starting point is 00:44:45 This is what you think people want to hear the next vice president is going to do, is like you want the big plane? That's why you want to be vice president? He's a douche. There's something weird about the guy, right? I mean, really unusual. And anybody can change their views so much, right?
Starting point is 00:45:02 He called Trump America's Hitler just a few years ago. And now he's a sycophant for everything about Donald Trump. We don't know, I mean, the frightening thing is a couple of years from now, what are his views gonna be? Right, oh, exactly. Okay, last one. Had it or hit it, Kamal Harris and Tim Walz.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Oh, hit it, and hit it hard, I might add. I love these people, I mean, really. And again, anybody who watched Tim Walz. Oh hit it and hit it hard I might add. I love these people. I mean really and again anybody who watched Tim Walz last night you just he's got kind eyes if you just put even put aside everything he said and he talked about the pep talk that he wanted to give everybody you know he's not a great speaker but he wants to give a pep talk a former coach yeah you just and then his family like I said you know he he cares so much about his family. You can feel it and you can see and I've known him for a few years because we got elected at the same time. We're both very
Starting point is 00:45:51 involved in the Democratic Governors Association and the National Governors Association and II have you know, I like him. I want like I want to go out for a beer with him all the time because he's a great guy and that's not a feeling you get about the folks on the other side. Would you want to go out for a beer with him all the time because he's a great guy. And that's not a feeling you get about the folks on the other side. Would you want to spend any time with either one of them? Like, oh, I'd like to learn more about JD Vance. No, I know too much about JD Vance.
Starting point is 00:46:14 No, JD Vance is the type of guy, if you're at a party and you're going into a room and he's sitting in there, you would turn around and go to avoid. He's the guy you avoid. That's right. And let me say about Kamala Harris, you know, I think that back when Hillary was running,
Starting point is 00:46:29 and I was very involved in her campaign and I so admire her. Oh, I do too. But you know, back then there was this sense that, well, you know, a woman can't be too tough because then, you know, she'll be considered inappropriately tough, right? Like, but men, they can all be tough
Starting point is 00:46:45 and everybody gives them credit for it. That was kind of the talk of 2016, I think, if you recall, that Hillary had to somehow moderate being strong. I think the country has gotten over, I should knock on wood, but I think the country has gotten over that view. And that Kamala Harris is a kind and good person. She's also strong and tough.
Starting point is 00:47:10 And one thing that people like about Donald Trump, even if they don't like the things he says or does, is they think because he sounds like a bully and he says tough things that he's strong. But Kamala Harris is strong in a way that combines with kind. And you get a sense of somebody who's getting things done, prosecuting the case or prosecuting the endeavor of standing up for working families, right?
Starting point is 00:47:39 And she's doing that with a certain toughness and charisma. But you don't get a feeling and by and again, I think the country's gotten over this, you know, that like, well, that's too tough. A woman can't be that way. And so I'm looking forward to her demonstrating not that not only that she's got a great sense of humor and that she's a kind person, but also that she's strong. And we all want to see that, I think, in our president, whoever it is. And Kamala Harris seems to have that in her soul.
Starting point is 00:48:08 So I'm excited about that. I think that is a big deal. For 2 and 1 half months, we get to prosecute this campaign to make sure that we're showing Kamala Harris to the public for who she really is. And that strength, I think, is a fundamental part of who she is. I can't wait to say Madam President. It's gonna be great. I cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I cannot wait to watch her mop the floor. At that debate. At that debate. I saw what she did to Brett Kavanaugh and I can't wait to see that happen. And I think women are roaring back and I think now is the time. It is the year of the women governor Pritzker.
Starting point is 00:48:42 I cannot thank you enough for joining us on I've Had It. Thank you so much. So great to have you. Yeah, you guys are terrific. I love JB Pritzker. He really is such a great guy. I mean, I would enjoy having dinner with him or a coffee with him. I mean, he's great. I just, I wonder what it's like to have a governor that can say, I advocate for every person in my state. Because we don't have that. We don't have that here.
Starting point is 00:49:12 We do not have that. Okay, what I was going to bring up and I completely forgot is that the DNC took back the American flag in a big way. I kind of think they were listening to the podcast. I was going to say, should we do a victory lap or not? I kind of think so. Let's flex a little bit. Flex a little bit. It was months ago. Kylie, wasn't it months ago?
Starting point is 00:49:34 It was months ago. We said, we're taking back patriotism and we're taking back the flag. We started the call. We started the patriot. We started the gay triad. We've been beating this mantra for months. I think it's time for a little victory lap. Yeah, I mean, obviously, DNC organizers are big listeners because we took that flag right back. And everybody, when I would see interviews, they'd say the Democratic Party's taking back patriotism,
Starting point is 00:50:00 taking back the flag. And I was like, you're welcome. You're welcome. Anyway, it was super fun.
