IHIP News: 🚨 HERO Factory Worker CONFRONTS Trump To HIS FACE!! Trump Flips Him OFF!!

What this episode is about

A worker at a Ford manufacturing plant publicly confronts former President Trump, accusing him of being a "pedophile protector" during a tour, to which Trump responds with a disrespectful gesture. The incident highlights the current administration’s perceived inability to handle criticism and the hypocrisy among some Republicans regarding moral standards.

Key takeaways

• Thin skin in high places: when a president can’t handle critiques, democracy takes a hit.
• Hypocrisy in politics blooms: evangelical Republicans protect a man accused of moral failing.
• In a world of bullies, it’s the courageous worker who rises as the real hero.
• Moral differences aren't political: silence on child protection equates to complicity in society's decay.
• The spotlight of accountability is dimmed when critics are silenced and bullies run rampant.

Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Not all heroes wear capes. The dementiarridden idiot sociopathic maniac president of the United States was touring the Ford manufacturing plant. And a worker calls him at the top of his lungs a pedophile protector. And this bitter old queen responds the following way. Kylie, play the clip.

0:34 Okay, for those of you watching at the very beginning, you hear you're a pedophile protector. Trump points at him and you can clearly lipre. [ __ ] you. And then he walks on and then he flips the guy off and there he is flipping an American worker off. And this old queen wants to be in the big seat. He wants the big boy seat and he has such thin skin. And I want to tell you something that happened when Barack Obama was president that still haunts me to this day. I was living in Oklahoma City raising my kids with my husband and Barack Obama's coming to Oklahoma City.

1:15 And he was met by the citizens of Oklahoma City with people calling him an n-word hard R. people all around the hotel that he was going to be staying at in downtown Oklahoma City with Confederate flags. It made the national news. And he never ever commented on all that because he just assumed when you run for the hot seat, when you're a big boy, you have to have thick skin. And this president does not have thick skin. What he just did to that Ford worker is exactly what his administration is doing. They cannot handle criticism.

1:53 They cannot handle anybody who questions their moral depravity. And they think after that that they can just bully whomever they want, however they want, with impunity. But to all of these Republicans that are big Christians and they're all about the decency and the dignity of the office of the White House, you are all exposed as absolute hypocrites. This man is a pedophile protector. He is. And for some Americans, MAGA, we feel this conviction. I feel it rising up in my body. And it doesn't matter if the president's standing in front of me or somebody in casual conversation. I have a track record of consistently calling out and standing up for the marginalized. This president doesn't. He wants to beat up on the marginalized and he has a whole pack of depraved hypocrites that join him in this.

2:52 Here's what I thought when I saw that. I thought, "You're such a titty baby." And we should have a cognitive test, an IQ test, and an emotional maturity test to be president of the United States. And I look at him, number one, his hands look so small. Number two, I thought, what would Fox News do if Joe Biden or Barack Obama had looked in the camera and said, "Fuck you." and given the bird. Why does this man get a pass because he's a bully? And then I think, oh yeah, I remember CBS caved. They put Barry Weiss in charge. All the universities appeased in advance. They caved. ABC News gave him $16 million. People, he acts like a bully and he's able to act like a bully because people [ __ ] cave. Nobody has stood up to him and said, "Fuck you.

3:43 Let's go to court." But he can easily run around telling a worker that called him a pedophile protector. And I would say he's a pedophile protector at best. At worst, he is a pedophile in these files. And just what a titty and what a failure on Republicans that they [ __ ] do not come out against him. And I mean the Democrats, I can't even We know how disappointed we are in them. All right, moving along. Here is the White House's response to uh the video. Caitlyn Collins tweets, "The White House is responding to the D TMZ video of Trump flipping someone off at the Ford plant today, saying in a statement to Sam Waldenberg, a lunatic was wildly screaming exploitives in a complete fit of rage." And the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response. And so they just, you know, they double down on this. This is their um mantra. This is the way they govern.

4:48 But I want to highlight this Ford worker who I just I I I just he is my spirit animal because given the opportunity I would do the exact same thing. Pop this up. Midas touch says the UAW worker at the Ford factory whom Trump cursed out after the worker called him a quote pedophile protector has been suspended from his job pending an investigation according to the Washington Post. He says he has quote definitely no regrets whatsoever. Adding, I don't feel as though fate looks upon you often, but when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today, I think I did that. And this is what I have to say to every listener out there.

5:39 This again is not these are not political differences. covering up for pedophilia is a moral difference. So for all of our listeners that have Republican friends and family and they say, "Oh, we just disagree politically." It's not that. These are moral differences. The Republican party is fine with the rape of children. This president is fine going into dressing rooms where little girls, teenage girls, are changing clothes and he is fine inspecting them. And then we can go on and on to the um indiscriminate murder of these boats in Venezuela, shooting an ICE officer, putting people in concentration camps. These aren't John McCain, Barack Obama style differences of politics. These are moral differences. These are distinct moral differences in that brave union worker.

6:37 His quote will age well. The Democrats who are dithering right now about should we abolish ICE? Should we fund ICE? You're going to be recorded in history as the Neville Chamberlains of the United States, as capitulators, as just there's no difference between what you're doing and what corporate media does. This Gestapo, even Joe Rogan is calling the Trump administration the Gestapo. and the Democrats dither, twiddle their hair, and crowdsource morality. But your base doesn't have to crowdsource. This union worker is an independent voter. He doesn't have to crowdsource. He can see very clearly that this president is fine with pedophilia and will do whatever he has to do. if that means starting wars and terrorizing American citizens in Minneapolis to take everybody's eyes off of the fact that he's a pedophile protector andor pedophile. He will do it. And so good on this citizen because I think the majority of us, twothirds of

7:50 us are right there with him. He is every single one of us. And I want a GoFundMe page for that guy. I want to see what billionaires will stand up for workers. Oh, that's right. probably none will except for Jeff Bezos ex-wife. She's the only one that seems to be doing this. But let's get a uh GoFundMe for this guy, a union worker, works an assembly line, works harder than Donald Trump ever has in his entire life, and had the balls and the courage of conviction to stand up to the president of the United States. And I dig him. God love you.

8:24 It's amazing. And this atheist says, "God love you." You know what's interesting to me is Republicans won't go against Trump because they're afraid they will lose their jobs and they've made millions of dollars gaming the system while in Congress. And this man who is an assembly line worker, he said, "You know what? I feel so strongly about this and my conviction is such that if I lose my job, I won't regret it." So he has more courage than any Republican that's afraid of a primary because of Donald Trump. He should be running. He should be in Congress. It's not them. Because he has conviction about his beliefs and what's right.

9:06 Okay. So the pedophile protector. You guys, I thought this was just an interesting video. You know, we can sit and play all the crazy [ __ ] he says all the time and it gets tired, old and boring, but it's really getting even more masterful and how diabolical it is. And you know, he doesn't write this. He doesn't come up with this. And the gaslighting is just so obvious that it's so overtly manipulative that it's backfiring. And I just thought this was a very interesting little tidbit. Play the clip.

9:36 Our country wasn't built by people who tried to lie and cheat and scam their way to success. It was built by legends like Henry Ford, Henry Dao, Thomas Edison, the Kellogg brothers, Alfred Peaceloan, the founder of General Motors, men who lifted up American workers and strengthened our nation beyond even belief. And we're doing the same exact thing right now. I think we're doing it even better.

10:02 Okay. All right. I thought it was interesting that lie and cheat and steal are on the forefront of their minds. To me, this is kind of like a Freudian omission if you really get into it. And also, he talks about these innovators, these great American industry titans that were innovators who didn't exploit workers. And it's just, it's fascinating to me how the lying with this political party is just so widely accepted and so under reported. It's so under reportported like in a real democracy, in a democracy with a serious free press.

10:46 Things like this would be scolded that you're sitting there talking about lying and cheating and stealing when you're the liar, the cheater, and the stealer that is using those tactics to create a coup against the United States Constitution. And furthermore, to claim that you stand with workers and unionizing workers when you are a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires, when you don't give a [ __ ] about workingclass people, never have, never will. The only thing I've ever really seen on record of of him what he really thinks about workingclass people, and this was really telling during the January 6 uh insurrection, the riers, he's sitting in the dining room and it was reported that he said to the people surrounding him, "I wish they didn't look so trashy."

11:42 That's what he really thinks about his supporters. So for this guy to say he stands up for workers when he is the one that has for decades hired immigrant labor so that he can exploit it. He's the one who recently came out was like hey ICE don't hit the hospitality industry hit different industries. This guy doesn't care about workers. He has no idea what it's like to work. He inherited half a billion dollars from his dad and then he spent it and lost it and bankrupted forever, you know, a million times. Here's the thing, the irony. It is so rich. I thought he was describing himself. I really did. Right.

12:23 And to your point about the workers. I just read an article this week that his new spa or whatever he calls it, they're looking for under minimum wage labor. They don't want to pay the full freight. He doesn't give a [ __ ] about workers. I just can't even believe people are so stupid that he can sit there and say that and nobody says is he describing himself. That's exactly what he's doing. He is so [ __ ] corrupt in my opinion committing crimes every single day. Completely agree. All right. And then the theme in this episode here is this old queen because this old queen started off this episode thin skinned. [ __ ] you.

13:04 flipping off, you know, an American worker. He he runs for the hottest seat in the entire world and he can take zero heat. And so this keeps getting reported and reported again. And yesterday, Axios broke the following. Put this up. Since President Trump met with Mom Donnie in the Oval Office in November, the two have been texting back and forth. Trump remains charmed by Mom Donnie, who said he was quote, "Even better looking in person than on TV during their White House meeting." And I just think this is something, and I I've talked about this a bit, but I want to re-emphasize for you guys.

13:48 What Trump is incubating is a million times worse than what this is. Trump has no conviction. Trump follows his impulses of the moment and shining objects of the moment. He doesn't even have conviction in being a racist. Elon Musk does.

14:07 JD Vance does. Peter Tilliel does. These people are serious about it. Steven Miller, they're serious about it. Donald Trump grew up in multicultural Queens and at the end of the day a um you know uh magnetic personality good-looking winner Trump's brownskinned Muslim democratic socialist and the fact that he is still engaging with him number one tells me how starved he is for normaly outside of the depravity in which this horrific bubble that the MAGA governing class live in. And number two, we all need to be really, really aware.

14:54 Donald Trump didn't just appear out of nowhere. For those of us that have lived in the Bible belt, and I was around evangelical Christians during the Bush administration and during the Obama administration, I saw firsthand these people are homophobic because they don't care about other human beings. I think empathy is something we're kind of naturally born with. A lot of the evangelicals that I grew up around, it's not that they like torturing other people. They don't care. You can say to them, "Well, don't you care that this person can be bullied?" I don't care. It doesn't affect my life.

15:33 That's the mantra that incubated Trump. What's what's he incubating now? What's he doing right now? because JD Vance is he's getting more radicalized and um Elon Musk is getting more radicalized. The government's getting more radicalized. Meanwhile, Trump has a side hustle test texting Zoron Manni. It's really weird. I'm glad he's texting him, but because at least he's maybe talking to somebody saying, "But I'm very worried about what all of this is incubating." As everybody knows on this podcast, I use GLP1s to lose weight. But when you transition off and you try to maintain that weight, that's a whole other challenge. And that is why I'm so excited to share with you Prolon.

16:20 Because Prolon is a plantbased nutrition program featuring soups, snacks, and beverages designed to nourish the body while keeping it in a fasting state, activating cellular rejuvenation and renewal.

17:14 Yeah. The generations to come that are growing up in this where racism is so normalized. At least when I was growing up the racism was out there. It was said. The slurs were said. But in a group setting with people you didn't know they were able to quash it down. That's not what's happening now. They're loud and proud and doing it. And I'm betting you that Mandami can just completely manipulate Trump any way he wants to. I mean my my money's on Zoron in that text chain. Yeah. But you have to remember that it's probably for Trump a something that he's using to make other members of the cabinet jealous.

17:54 um he plots and uh Rubio against each other. He's not ever going to go full tail democratic socialist. I don't think he wants to harm New York City because he has a strong affection for New York City. The president does. But I think it's more manipulation on him playing petty childhood this old queen kind of games. Like well I was just texting with Zoron to piss off JD Vance because he knows it would really piss off JD Vance. And then moving along, here's Lady Graham, um, who, as we all know, is just a, uh, absolute spineless asskisser. And let's see what this old queen has to say. New York Times obtained grand jury transcripts of the Georgia election interference case, including the testimony of Republicans who reject rejected Trump's claims.

18:47 Lindsey Graham, if you told him Martians came and stole the votes, he'd be inclined to believe it. And so, as you can see, this political party is a party of nothingness. It is a party of owning the libs. Imagine that we have created such a culture in this country that these white the white world class is so entitled to their beliefs that they think anybody who believes differently is the enemy. Not Russia, not North Korea, not potentially China, but progressive Americans. It's just wild to me. and the the all of these MAGA men like Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, these people are going to go down in history as some of the most morally depraved Americans we've ever seen. And I want to leave you all with this. And this is what's going on in Trump's White House. For those of us who have been in Bible belt circles, this is horrifically uh not unfamiliar, but as you watch this video of what

20:03 these Trump pastors are doing in the White House as of yesterday, while Trump's Gestapo, Joe Rogan's words, MAGA, while Trump's Gustapo is out terrorizing and shooting people um just for the sake of of being pricks, just for the sake of flexing their low tea, teeny weeny arms. These pastors are in here doing this. All right? And I want you to think about two things. This is what the America that they want to create. This is white culture. This is what the Kennedy Center, the Trump Kennedy Center will be like. It is the most boring, snoozefest, weird [ __ ] on the planet. And this is what they want America to be. Play the clip.

20:54 How great thou sings my soul, my savior God to thee, how great thou art. All right, we've all seen enough. These crusty cracker ass horrific Biblethumping hypocrites of the absolute highest order that grift off of their churches that grift off of the American public that that feel so entitled to their hypocrisy. They're in the White House. And I just want to say obviously there are a lot of Christians that are not corrupt and [ __ ] weird like that. But more than anything, you guys, that's white culture.

21:54 That's it. That's what that's why all of these people that go to these style of churches are dying to go to a concert. They're dying to watch sports because that is inherently crusty and boring and regressive and miserable. I mean, have you ever seen anything more miserable in your life? And that that's happening in the White House of a secular nation,

22:19 right? Should send a chill down everyone's spine because let me tell you about this sect of evangelical Christianity. They are the meanest people I've ever met in my entire life. They are bullies. They think they're better than everybody else. They don't care. They simply don't care. They teach the opposite of empathy. Nobody has courage. Nobody stands up for anything. The only thing they stand up for is bullying the marginalized. I know it because I lived around it. And they bullied me because I didn't believe the same way they believed. This is a movement of cruelty and entitlement and indifference. They just simply don't give a [ __ ] about human suffering at all. No, they don't.

23:07 And I having grown up in it, I can tell you that they don't just think they're better. I was taught to believe because I was chosen other people's problems wouldn't affect me. That I was entitled to better and more because of my faith. So they believe it's a divine right. I know that because that's how I was raised. And it is terrifying. in the White House. The uh you know founded this country was founded on separation of church and state. That shouldn't be anywhere near the [ __ ] White House. Completely agree. All right, like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
