IHIP News: MAGA Stars CONDEMN Trump and PUBLICLY TRASH Him! He's Falling Apart!

What this episode is about

The America First MAGA Party is fracturing as prominent figures like Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly openly criticize Donald Trump's foreign policy, particularly regarding Venezuela, highlighting a shift in the party's dynamics amidst growing dissatisfaction with his leadership. This commentary reflects a broader discontent among voters who reject further military interventions and a desire to maintain the core principles that initially resonated with Trump's base.

Key takeaways

• MAGA's disarray reveals a forgotten truth: voters crave authenticity, not foreign escapades.
• Even Kelly and Carlson criticize Trump; the MAGA eco-system realizes a war-weary base is a ticking bomb.
• In a party led by the oligarchs, working-class voices are sidelined—a twist on 'America First.'
• The MAGA faithful are waking up; Trump’s tangled web of deceit has them questioning their loyalty.
• Bro-podcasting's oddly homosocial vibe highlights a bizarre paradox: masculinity while denying individual freedoms.

Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 The America First MAGA Party is disintegrating in the face of the wararm mongering of this administration. And we have Megan Kelly who I do not like at all. I think she is a radical bigot. Even she is criticizing Donald Trump and what's going on in Venezuela.

0:20 Think this is something he ran on at all? I think he actually ran on the opposite promise that we weren't going to be doing this stuff. I don't think anybody who voted for him was thinking about this when we voted for him.

0:34 I think it's interesting because Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly command a huge audience and they are criticizing openly Israel, Venezuela. So, it's very interesting to see how all these chips are going to fall. Yeah, I think that the uh MAGA media ecosystem and some savvy current sitting Republican politicians are seeing the party beyond kanks. We know that he is of poor health, not of sound mind, is crazier than a [ __ ] house rat. I mean, it's abundantly obvious anybody can anybody can tell that. So, of course, Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson can see that. And so there is an attempt to speak to the base which these people this America first policy speaks loud and proud to them and it is how Donald Trump was able to win two different elections because corporate politics skip over so many workingclass Americans and they see their hardworking taxpayer money and then you see Venezuela or back in our day Iraq being

1:47 invaded back in our parents day Vietnam And the American public does not have a stomach for any more um nationbuilding style wars. And so this to me should be the default setting of all Americans. And what we're going to find is that the cult because he is a lame duck, old as all get out, sick as all get out, demented as all get out, they are already treating him as such. And they are separating from him to keep the cult uh uh you know combined and together and that America first agenda is their best ace in the whole. It speaks very succinctly and very simply to so many uh people in the electorate.

2:36 Another person, MAGA podcaster Andy Fcelli, he is huge in the MAGA movement and he was on his show and said this and actually I was surprised somebody would come out this strongly against Donald Trump.

2:50 Say this right now and I mean this. Okay, Donald Trump, you've lost touch with your [ __ ] base. you've lost touch with reality of what people actually want to see and the people around you are either not telling you the truth or you're [ __ ] in on it. And if you're not in on it,

3:06 I would appreciate for you and I to have a discussion so I can inform you about what these people really want.

3:12 Okay? So, this can go on Twitter and you know, you can have your people call me and

3:20 Kylie, will you put that back up real fast? I just before we analyze there's just a few little details I'd like to review with pumps the buffalo with the American flag the energy drinks the sports car that that do you notice like he's like a souped up you know like heterosexual like and then he has pictures of men all behind him like the homosocial nature of this type of bro spear

3:47 podcasting is so interesting to me it's just it's a very interesting note. Nonetheless, let's analyze what the man said. Go ahead.

4:00 I just I think he's right. Donald Trump, if you're MAGA, you did not vote for uh a foreign war, a foreign invasion. You don't want this. Nobody in America wants this. But I I guess it's taken them a while to wake up. But Donald Trump bait and switched everybody. This is this is a party of the oligarchs by the oligarchs for the oligarchs. Of the rich by the rich for the rich. Donald Trump used you and he is continuing to use you. He's still fundraising and he is a lame [ __ ] duck, you know. So, I appreciate this podcaster and I appreciate his testosterone and masculinity on full display and I really personally appreciated that he wanted to have a you and me can have a personal chat about this where he says to Donald Trump, Donald Trump doesn't give a [ __ ] what you think. He doesn't give a [ __ ] what the base thinks. He used all of you. He used every single one of you. And now we are in the uh you know competitive

5:12 authoritarian era. All of the things that one thing that we have in common with MAGA is I believe we all like it's a free country.

5:22 Yeah. You know you might think you know people in the south where we come from well well that guy Chris sure is light in the loafers but not my business. It's a free country. That used to be the ultimate vibe. like I don't really get it but it's a free country and everybody kind of accepted and allowed everybody to have that style of freedom and it's something that as we get over this we need to confront MAGA about they are so concerned about pronouns and about somebody not being like hyper masculine hyper masculine like that guy was that they're willing to throw the entire you know constitution and get up in everybody's business. It's just that whole world is so weird to me. His set was super weird to me.

6:10 I didn't even notice that it was all men in the background until you said that.

6:16 It they all do it. Okay, here's the thing. You have this and I see this over and over and I just talked to a family member about this. They don't hold Donald Trump accountable. He says either Donald Trump is surrounded by people giving him bad advice or he's in on it. I had a family member say, "I hate Steven Miller. Everything about Steven Miller is terrible, but they don't take the next step. That Steven Miller works for Donald Trump. I mean, it seems the the other way around, but ultimately Donald Trump has the power in that situation. But it is so hard for these people that have triple Trump to make Donald Trump accountable for his own choices. And it strikes me as odd that still in the face of all this, he's willing to let leave in a just a little tiny sphere that maybe Trump's not in on it. It's the people around him.

7:10 Yeah. I mean, that's an interesting component, but I think this must be like a a cult thing, you know, because usually this party is the buck stops with me. Leadership begins at the top. I mean, the Republican part is all about personal accountability and all of that. So, the codependency and enabling and it providing him a permission structure to me is more reveal of your family member doesn't want Trump to be revealed for being this uh uh morally depraved duplicitous hypocrite because then that reveals something about them. So there's this denial mechanism that oh somebody around him must be doing that and then it get lets them off the hook. But the reality is, the harsh reality is if somebody triple Trumped, we can have zero expectation of them for anything truly. Like this is if you voted for this man three times, especially if you are a religious person, all you have proven three times

8:12 in a row is that you are a worldclass hypocrite of the highest order. Period. No, I completely agree with you. And then one thing that I saw going through all this magazare was Tucker Carlson made what I thought is a good point and it's not going to make the base happy. Here he is.

8:34 Suggest that we're going to have a big war soon. The president announced that he is hiking the Pentagon budget from 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion. Just announced that that's the kind of budget that a country that anticipates a global or regional war has for its military. Obviously, we're moving in that direction toward a world war. Sorry. So, how do you position yourself for that? Well, you look at a map and you ask, "What areas do I want to control? Where are the trade routes? Who's got the resources?" And if you were to do that, you would arrive at the most obvious conclusion of all, which is the United States has to have a relationship with Russia in order to survive anything like that.

9:12 He's so pro-Russia. I mean, he is I I read somewhere that Iran no longer has access to internet or news, but they're playing Tucker Carlson,

9:22 you know? I mean, like I honestly, I'll be honest, when I saw the budget increasing to $1.5 trillion, my immediate thought was not, "Oh my god, we're going into a world war." But that that's the obvious conclusion. And I was just absolutely it's it's I just thought, oh, Trump and Hexath want to play with their toys. But I am terrified that he is right on this. And I know that MAGA just from everything I read and see, they are not interested in anything but becoming a Christian nation, America first. And so I am hopeful that people are starting to wake up. I mean, obviously murdering an innocent American citizen is not going to do it for everybody because they believe propaganda. But when you start talking about he was elected on the president of peace, he wants the Nobel Peace Prize and we're moving to to war and we're going into these countries.

10:21 It's really a time when MAG is going to have to take a big look in the mirror. Yeah. I will um say that historically Republicans, they could say right now they're not for going to a war, but historically they like it. You saw on Instagram that, oh, we were saviors and we went in and the military did such a badass job. They get very intoxicated by guns and missiles and tanks and air raids and abductions and they get very lured into it and intoxicated in a way that has allowed the Republican party to do this administration after administration after administration after administration.

11:07 So they with their elected electorate, the MAGA base electorate, it's not very hard to dogwalk them that we need to blow [ __ ] up. We need to be badass. We need to do these things. You saw that guy set. I mean, it looked like, you know, super military like, you know, it's not that hard to get them there. The the the thing with the increase of the federal budget, a couple of things. Number one, maybe it's war. Number two, more than likely it is the um military-industrial complex which now includes all of his tech oligarchs and their AI stuff. And um this is really where everything is. If we go to war, oftent times it's about feeding the militaryindustrial complex, which are oligarchs. And so with the United States, it's not so much about this good versus evil stuff. It's always follow the money. That is the the the thesis sentence about the United States. Money, money, money. We are a people and a

12:21 culture that has been raised and indoctrinated to value profits over human beings. That's in our culture. that's in the churches, that's in uh e every part of American individualism. This rugged individualism, you can always get a get out of jail free card if you tell somebody, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. I'm working. It's business, even if it's some huge event." And we work harder and get less benefits than any other nation that's as as rich as we are. And we don't value workers. We don't value life. And so this military budget thing for me, um, yeah, do I think the Republicans would start a huge [ __ ] war? Yes. I've been I'm 51 years old. They every Republican president does this. But I also think that half a trillion dollars is also for Palunteer and SpaceX and all of these contracts for all of these billionaire [ __ ] that will never be satisfied.

13:25 That's what my gut is that it's about. And I trust that instinct more than I do Tucker Carlson who's bffs with Vladimir Putin

13:33 and doesn't even try to hide it. No, I agree with you. Feeding the uh military-industrial complex is such a high priority for Republicans. There's just here's the thing. We have Trump saying his own morality controls, you know, Trump's international law. You have no [ __ ] morality. I don't put anything past this president. We're killing US citizens in the street. Like nothing that comes up. I have got to be shockproof because there is nothing off the table. And just a quick note, we have five Republican senators that came up against Trump and said, "We need to put more power. I we need to control what Donald Trump is doing in Venezuela." Of course, he went off on Truth Social. And we did have 17 uh Republicans in the House cross the aisle to ex put a resolution on the floor above and over Mike Johnson's head to extend healthc care subsidies on the ACA. So hopefully the worm is starting

14:31 to turn. We will keep an eye on it. Please continue to watch our channel. Subscribe like review.
