Welcome, everybody, to a very special
0:07
episode of IHIP News where we
0:09
share our opinion about the news
0:11
that is important to us. Kamala
0:15
Harris debated an unhinged lunatic
0:17
last night, and I couldn't
0:20
help but feel embarrassed
0:23
that this man has
0:26
been the nominee for President of
0:28
the United States now for the
0:31
third time. He is clearly cuckoo
0:34
for Cocoa Puffs, deranged,
0:37
confused, a malignant
0:39
narcissist, and on and on. But
0:42
it all started right from the jump. You saw
0:44
an adult walk onto the debate stage, Kamala Harris,
0:47
who has been a
0:49
very ambitious, successful, prepared woman
0:52
her entire life, walk
0:54
up to this hunched over, disheveled
0:58
man. His hair kind of had a pink
1:00
tone to it last night, but I won't
1:02
digress into that. I just thought that was
1:04
interesting. She walks up to him as
1:06
an adult would, puts her hand out
1:09
and says, hi, I'm Kamala Harris.
1:12
Let's have a good debate. He is
1:15
trying to avoid and turn her from
1:17
the jump. He's terrified of
1:19
this woman. He is so weak. He couldn't
1:21
even meet her at the halfway point. He's
1:23
so small. Him
1:26
running from her. And did you notice throughout the course
1:28
of the debate, he could not look at her. He
1:31
is disrespectful to decency.
1:34
It was jaw-dropping his behavior. It
1:37
was so embarrassing because he
1:39
traffics in the most extreme
1:41
areas of the internet where
1:43
nothing is true. Let me
1:45
play this clip for you. In Springfield,
1:48
they're eating the dogs, the people that
1:50
came in. They're eating the cats. They're
1:53
eating the pets of the
1:56
people that live there. And
1:59
this is what's happening. in our country. This
2:01
is such desperation from
2:04
his campaign that
2:06
they have a candidate on the
2:08
stage that all they can talk
2:10
about is to scare the white
2:12
people, the white suburban people that
2:14
live nowhere near immigration, that these
2:16
caravans of crazy people that are
2:18
criminals are coming for them and
2:21
it hasn't been penetrating as much as they
2:23
want. So now they've escalated it, that
2:25
they're killing and eating cats and dogs.
2:27
And a candidate for the president of
2:29
the United States said that on a
2:31
global stage, this clip will be played
2:34
all around the world. And then he has
2:36
the audacity and lacks
2:38
self-awareness to say the world
2:40
is laughing at us. And
2:43
it's like, no dipshit. They're
2:45
laughing at you because you
2:47
are so incredibly unhinged, bizarre,
2:49
and traffic in these weird
2:52
QAnon, the most bottom
2:55
feeding sex of American culture.
2:57
That's their guy. The
3:00
fear mongering is taken to a
3:02
new level. And what I particularly
3:04
liked was David Muir said, that's
3:07
not true. I talked to the city manager. Well, I
3:09
saw it on TV. Well, not everything
3:11
you see on Fox News is
3:13
true news flash, but the cats and
3:15
the dogs, it's just more fear mongering.
3:18
It's despicable that he would
3:20
say that on a global stage. It's
3:22
insanity. And it's like somebody said that's
3:24
when he ran in 2016 and
3:26
it's still true today. You have
3:28
a low information voter at
3:31
the top of the ticket. I mean, that
3:33
is a complete low information voter statement, what
3:35
he said. So then,
3:38
they're trying to talk about policy. The moderators
3:40
are engaging the candidates to talk about policy.
3:43
Trump has talked about this beautiful healthcare plan
3:45
that he's going to have that he's going
3:47
to roll out since 2015 on into 2016.
3:49
He's going to roll out the best healthcare
3:53
plan. He's never had one. He's never
3:55
done it. He's had nine years to
3:57
do it. And here's what he said.
4:00
when they ask him about his healthcare plan.
4:02
So just a yes or no, you still
4:04
do not have a plan. I have concepts
4:06
of a plan. I have concepts of a
4:08
lot of things. I have a
4:10
list of people that I would like to write
4:12
thank you notes to, but I haven't gotten around
4:14
to it. It's just a concept that I have.
4:17
But I'm not running for president
4:20
of the United States. I think
4:22
what is so alarming about this is
4:25
the millions of Americans that
4:27
watched that debate last night and
4:30
still think that's my guy.
4:32
And of course there's the cult, all of
4:34
the rubes, all of the rednecks, the basket
4:36
of deplorables, the bottom feeders that show up
4:38
to his rallies. They're in a cult. You
4:41
can't reach them. Who
4:43
are these tax paying, law
4:45
abiding, upper middle class
4:47
Americans, particularly men who he wins
4:49
by a large margin that watch
4:51
that and think that's who I'm
4:53
voting for. A guy that doesn't have a plan, a
4:56
guy who says he saw on TV
4:58
somewhere, which is probably Newsmax or InfoWars,
5:01
that immigrants are eating cats and dogs.
5:03
And they think, yep, this
5:06
is who I want to hand the
5:08
nuclear codes over to. The
5:10
healthcare question really struck me. And
5:13
I was going to ask you about what you think
5:15
about this. He knew that his
5:19
statements about the Affordable Care Act and wanting to
5:21
get rid of it, he
5:23
would be questioned on those. And
5:26
he's been questioned on them for nine years. He's
5:28
never had a plan. So either he does not
5:30
give a shit, or
5:33
does he simply want to be punitive
5:35
and take healthcare away from 50 million
5:38
American people? I just, I don't know. Well,
5:41
the fundamental thing with him, everything
5:44
goes back to being transactional. Number
5:46
one, he doesn't give a shit
5:48
about healthcare because he's had healthcare
5:50
his entire life. So he can't
5:52
relate to the idea that somebody
5:54
could be poor and
5:56
get cancer and not have solutions as to how
5:58
to get rid of it. treatment. He
6:00
cannot relate to that. He has
6:03
no empathy for that because of
6:05
his well-reported and well-documented lack of
6:07
empathy and mental illnesses. But
6:10
secondly, it is going to
6:12
be a transaction for him if the insurance
6:14
companies come to him and flatter him and
6:16
say, you're incredible. You're the only person that's
6:19
going to be able to overturn this. That's
6:22
all it takes to get him to do
6:24
what you want to do. Which brings me
6:26
to my next clip, which is this is
6:29
really incredibly important for the entire
6:31
world order, which is the dangers
6:34
of Vladimir Putin and his illegal
6:38
invasion of Ukraine. And
6:40
Trump could not side
6:43
with the Allied forces on this, with the NATO
6:45
forces on this. Let me play this clip for
6:47
you. Do you want Ukraine to win
6:49
this war? I want the war
6:51
to stop. Okay. That is
6:53
a very simple yes or
6:56
no question. The problem
6:58
with Vladimir Putin
7:00
in Ukraine is that is just a
7:02
bridge for him to then
7:04
move on into Europe. Trump
7:07
knows that. Viktor Orban
7:09
knows that. She knows
7:11
that. And most importantly, all
7:13
of our NATO forces know that. He
7:16
is 100 million
7:18
percent in the pocket, in
7:21
the palm of Vladimir Putin, because Vladimir
7:23
Putin and the Russians know the easiest
7:26
way to get Trump on your side
7:28
is to flatter him. Kim Jong Un
7:30
knew this, which is why they pass
7:33
love letters back and forth. She
7:35
knows this. But for him to cite
7:37
Viktor Orban as, oh, he says, I'm
7:40
one of the greatest leaders in the
7:42
world. Viktor Orban is
7:44
the MAGA of Europe. He
7:46
is a laughingstock. He is
7:48
a dictator. He is not
7:52
even remotely respected in
7:54
the European Union. Trump
7:56
hangs out with dictators.
7:58
He defends. dictators. He
8:01
cannot defend our ally. And I want to
8:03
remind everybody, he was impeached
8:06
over holding aid to Ukraine with
8:08
Zelensky in the phone call. And
8:10
so that didn't even come up.
8:13
There's so many egregious violations
8:15
of what a president of the United
8:17
States should be doing that in a
8:20
two hour debate, they can't even get
8:22
to all of it. The
8:24
invoking of Viktor Orban, I thought was
8:27
rich. Viktor Orban is
8:30
nothing short of a dictator. And Trump
8:32
idolizes him. He idolizes Putin because he
8:34
wants to be a dictator.
8:38
And I found it so
8:40
jaw dropping and
8:42
showed such a lack of his
8:44
ability to understand the world order
8:46
when he said, well, I'd fix
8:49
all these problems in 24 hours.
8:51
These are not 24 hour fix
8:53
problems. These are complicated issues that
8:56
take more than just a man
8:58
covered in orange makeup and bad
9:00
hair to come in and make a few
9:02
comments. It was jaw
9:04
dropping to me the 24 hour comment because I think
9:07
he believes it. I think
9:09
with him, he believes
9:11
that yes, because Vladimir
9:13
Putin has told him this. I
9:16
know that if you were in office, I would
9:18
do this, that or the other. I mean, we
9:20
still have the time in 2016 when
9:22
Trump was first in the Oval
9:24
Office where he invited two
9:27
people from Russia and excused
9:29
all of the eyewitnesses. And
9:32
so, I mean, it's incredibly dangerous because
9:34
the next step for Putin is Poland.
9:37
And then after that, it is a
9:39
full complete advance
9:43
into Europe. And
9:45
people that live in middle America
9:47
don't understand this because they don't
9:50
understand history. All of
9:52
this dog whistle about immigrants
9:54
is a play out of the
9:56
Nazi playbook. He is identifying a
9:58
group of people for everybody to
10:01
unite against and hate. And he has
10:03
all of these Republican Christian
10:05
people that as Obama says, cling
10:07
on to their guns and religion,
10:09
terrified of these immigrants, when he
10:11
is the one that is the
10:14
criminal, as Kamala Harris so brilliantly
10:16
pointed out. But I wanna move
10:18
on to a place where I
10:20
think he spectacularly face-planted, which is
10:22
on the issue of abortion. Let
10:24
me play this clip for you.
10:26
Would you veto a national abortion
10:29
ban if it came to your desk? Well,
10:31
I won't have to because again, two things. Number one, she
10:33
said she'll go back to Congress. She'll never get the vote.
10:35
It's impossible for her to get the vote. Okay,
10:37
there are several things I wanna
10:39
point out about the lies that
10:41
he said regarding this. Number one,
10:43
that babies are executed post-birth. That
10:46
claim is a complete
10:49
lie. That has been repeated by
10:51
the likes of Liz Cheney and
10:53
Republicans for a very long time.
10:55
So that's why I am very
10:58
reluctant to give Liz Cheney a
11:00
shit ton of props right now
11:02
because she's been a participant in
11:04
that lie. And my question is,
11:06
where are the hospitals, the physicians,
11:09
the nurses, the physicians assistants, the
11:11
scrub techs that are saying, hold
11:13
up, we all work in hospitals.
11:15
Nobody is murdering babies post-birth, but
11:18
I digress. The second thing
11:20
that is a complete lie that he
11:22
repeats all the time and it goes
11:24
unchecked constantly is that everybody
11:27
wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. All
11:30
the legal scholars, all the Democrats,
11:32
all the Republicans, I'm
11:34
a Democrat and I did not want
11:36
Roe v. Wade overturned. I don't know
11:38
if he has completely forgotten after he
11:41
won the presidency in 2016 via
11:43
the electoral college that millions of
11:45
women's march with pink hats on
11:47
their head because they did not
11:49
want Roe v. Wade overturned because we
11:52
all knew exactly what he was going
11:54
to do. Republican women did
11:56
not want Roe v. Wade overturned.
11:58
You're talking about. a small
12:01
minority of Americans that are complete
12:03
cuckoo for CoCoPuff, Bible thumpers that
12:05
think the Earth is 5000 years
12:07
old. This
12:09
tiny little fever pitch loud minority
12:12
that wanted Roe v. Wade overturned.
12:15
He 100 percent would ban abortion
12:18
nationwide because it's in Project 2025. And
12:21
every person surrounding him, every
12:24
single person surrounding him is
12:26
so far to the right on this issue.
12:28
We cannot believe for one second that he
12:30
is not there. And if he isn't there
12:32
and he doesn't care, all the people surrounding
12:34
him, the Heritage Foundation and Mike Lindell and,
12:36
you know, all these other JD Vance and
12:39
all these cooks that he hangs out with,
12:41
all they have to do is march into
12:43
the Oval Office and say, you're
12:45
going to go down in history as the guy that
12:47
finally ended this. You're going to do what Obama couldn't
12:50
do. And and Reagan couldn't
12:52
do. That's all he has to
12:54
hear. That's how easy it is
12:56
to manipulate him to take away
12:58
the rights of millions of Americans
13:00
and send us back to this
13:02
dystopian, draconian, handmade tale bullshit
13:04
that all these lunatic white men want
13:07
to live in. And I mean, I
13:09
have to tell you, I am
13:12
disgusted after watching that debate.
13:14
I am disgusted that
13:16
the world sees that that's
13:19
the Republican Party's best foot forward.
13:21
I am embarrassed to the core
13:23
of my being that I live
13:26
in a place where people see that
13:29
and they excuse it. And they're
13:31
going to vote for him against every
13:34
form of critical thought that
13:36
they have. It disgusts me. I
13:38
cannot believe that we have
13:40
to sit here and talk about
13:43
that complete shit show. Lunatic
13:46
again. It's just I can't believe
13:48
that people see that and
13:50
think I'm voting for him. It
13:53
truly is shows you the low
13:55
information, low IQ voter. I
13:58
thought to your point about. out
14:00
the everybody wanted it, which is a
14:02
lie. I thought how
14:04
Kamala Harris redirected that, talking about
14:06
individual cases of women that have
14:09
had to have miscarriages and parking
14:11
lots and how she didn't want
14:13
that, her husband didn't want that, how
14:16
victims of incest that are underage,
14:18
they didn't want that. And I
14:21
thought that was beautifully done because
14:23
it humanized it. Because these Project
14:25
25 first, Donald Trump, they
14:27
take it to a whole new level of
14:29
dehumanization. And this is real people that
14:32
have had real consequences because of his
14:34
laws. And the thing that
14:36
he wants to brag about is he
14:39
did it, not realizing that,
14:41
in fact, very few people wanted
14:43
it. His orbit wanted it, but nobody else.
14:45
He doesn't realize what a cell phone it
14:47
is. Totally. You know, because
14:50
he's so transactional about being,
14:53
I'm the only one that could do it.
14:55
And then he uses all of this language
14:57
all the time, this very manipulative language. As
14:59
he lies, he says, as
15:02
you know, as everybody knows, everybody's
15:04
talked about it. I saw it
15:06
on TV to help corroborate his
15:08
lies. And he uses that type
15:10
of language throughout all of his
15:13
crazy speeches. Moving along, I want
15:15
to play this clip for
15:17
you, which I want to show how
15:20
skilled Kamala Harris is.
15:23
And here she is speaking
15:25
about our military. And I'm going to tell
15:27
you that I have traveled
15:29
the world as vice president of the United States.
15:32
And world leaders are laughing at Donald
15:34
Trump. I have talked
15:36
with military leaders, some of whom worked with
15:39
you. And they say you're a
15:41
disgrace. And when
15:43
you then talk in this way, in
15:46
a presidential debate, and deny what
15:49
over and over again are court cases
15:51
you have lost, because you
15:53
did, in fact, lose that election,
15:56
it leads one to believe
15:58
that perhaps we do have
16:00
in the candidate to my
16:02
right the temperament or the
16:04
ability to not be confused
16:07
about fact. That's deeply
16:09
troubling and the American people deserve
16:12
better. She nails that right there.
16:14
She completely nails it. That
16:17
will fly right over the head of the
16:19
basket of deplorables because it's a nuanced argument
16:21
that requires, I would say, a minimum of
16:23
an average IQ of 100. I
16:27
think what she's talking
16:29
about, people not understanding
16:31
facts, making their own reality, this
16:33
is the cancer that is Trumpism.
16:36
He lied and lied and
16:39
lied throughout that debate. It
16:41
was unbelievable. It made my
16:43
blood pressure rise that the
16:46
Republicans that still go
16:48
to Mar-a-Lago and kiss the ring,
16:51
the Ted Cruzes, the Hollies, that
16:53
nut Moses Mike Johnson, that they
16:55
defend this guy all the while
16:58
claiming to be these big, good
17:00
family men, these big, great Christians.
17:02
They are literally the biggest pieces
17:04
of shit in the world because
17:07
they know better. Trump
17:09
is insane. We have
17:12
a mental patient at the top of
17:14
the ticket for the third time in
17:16
a row and some asshole that lives
17:18
in some gated community somewhere feels justified
17:21
for voting for him because of their
17:23
fucking tax break. I have
17:25
had it up to my eyeballs
17:27
with how despicable the portion
17:30
of the American public is for
17:33
co-signing onto this, co-signing onto
17:35
all of the lies, the
17:37
racism, the homophobia, the
17:41
disgrace to the military. He
17:43
does not understand military service.
17:47
The least way you could support the
17:49
American military right now was his answer
17:51
to the question of Ukraine because if
17:53
Putin advances, guess who's going to go
17:55
over there next to him? Trump's military.
18:00
It's unbelievable how stupid a large
18:02
portion of the American public is.
18:04
They're complete dumbasses, clueless dumbasses that
18:06
hang out in the bottom bowels
18:08
of the internet and cling on
18:11
to this old Reagan trickle-down economic
18:13
policy, which we all know is
18:15
nothing short of trickle-down incompetence. That's
18:17
what you saw last night in
18:19
the debate. The most incompetent person
18:21
we have ever had at the
18:24
top of a ticket for the
18:26
third election cycle in a row
18:28
on the global stage against a
18:30
woman who has studied
18:33
and prepared for
18:35
this moment, who's always been underestimated
18:37
her entire life because of her
18:39
estrogen and because of her melanin.
18:41
She was prepared. She toyed him.
18:43
She mopped the floor with him.
18:45
And that answer to the last
18:47
question I thought was absolutely brilliant.
18:50
I agree with you. I thought she handled that
18:52
so beautifully. And I liked that she looked right
18:54
at him and said, you are a disgrace because
18:58
I believe that that is the true
19:00
sentiment of world leaders and
19:02
even people that just live in other
19:05
countries because he is a disgrace. He
19:07
is a disgrace. The people that have
19:09
enabled his behavior are also disgraces. I
19:12
thought she did a wonderful job. I would
19:14
have liked if she gigged him just a
19:16
little bit more, but she had the perfect
19:18
balance. She was presidential. She was presidential. I
19:20
wanted her to gig him more, but I'm
19:22
petty and I'm not running for public office.
19:24
We're loud mouth podcasters and we would have
19:27
totally tried to troll him more. But
19:29
that's why she has the temperament to
19:32
be president because she went
19:34
just a little bit, just enough. But
19:36
that last statement that she had where
19:38
there's a guy that is so confused
19:41
about what is right, about what is
19:43
decent, about what is moral. And in
19:45
closing, I want to point to a
19:47
couple of things. After the debate, Trump
19:51
pranced his ass into
19:53
the spin room where typically
19:56
candidates send their surrogates and he starts
19:58
making up poll numbers. that he won the
20:00
debate by 98 percent. It
20:03
continues to lie. And
20:05
on Fox, they basically
20:07
said last night that it was a disaster
20:10
for him. And then nothing
20:12
on the planet cannot tell me what
20:14
happened at the end of this debate
20:17
wasn't highly choreographed and coordinated. Taylor
20:19
Swift drops on
20:22
social media a photograph of
20:24
herself with a cat around her neck, fully
20:28
endorses Kamala Harris and
20:30
Tim Walz without any
20:32
ambiguity whatsoever and
20:34
signs the post, Taylor
20:36
Swift, a childless cat lady.
20:39
And if that isn't an arrow into
20:42
the heart of this woman hating embarrassment
20:44
at the top of the ticket for
20:46
the Republican Party, I don't know what
20:48
is. And I have a message to
20:50
all of the American men that support
20:53
this man. If you have a wife, if
20:56
you have a daughter, you're a
20:58
complete total piece of shit
21:00
to support this anti-woman, anti-life
21:04
party. I'm
21:06
more disgusted than I ever have
21:08
been that we have to see
21:10
this bullshit day in,
21:13
day out because millions of
21:15
Americans don't have the decency,
21:17
the morality, the intelligence to
21:20
say, no, enough is
21:22
enough. When Dick Cheney, right?
21:25
Dick Cheney, who's a total war criminal,
21:28
endorses Kamala Harris and these sacks
21:30
of shit American men and then
21:32
the women who just do whatever
21:35
their husbands say cannot get out
21:37
of this right wing bullshit lying
21:39
media echo chamber to do the
21:41
right thing. I mean,
21:44
it's really disgusting. It is disgusting. I thought
21:46
she had a great night. I
21:48
thought he looked like the absolute buffoon
21:50
that he was. And
21:52
I was tickled pink with the Taylor Swift. I do
21:55
think it was choreographed because when she left
21:57
her supporters, she started playing a new Taylor
21:59
Swift song.
