IHIP News: Trump TANKING Within His OWN PARTY as ICE TERRORIZES US Citizens! They're FED UP!

What this episode is about

The content discusses the ongoing efforts by the Justice Department to block the release of Epstein files related to the Ghislaine Maxwell case, highlighting concerns of corruption and the protection of powerful individuals, including Donald Trump. The author criticizes the DOJ's actions as prioritizing political interests over justice for victims, suggesting that key figures in the Trump administration are enabling this cover-up.

Key takeaways

• When the DOJ prioritizes powerful interests over justice, Watergate seems like a mere hiccup in accountability.
• An independent monitor could expose uncomfortable truths, but the DOJ prefers secrecy over transparency—perfecting the art of cover-up.
• Hypocrisy runs deep: 'Christian' leaders protecting pedophiles while preaching morality reveals a twisted moral compass.
• Purity culture's obsession with controlling children's sex lives might just be a breeding ground for exploitation—where's the outrage?
• In defending the indefensible, some politicians prove they’re more loyal to billionaires than the vulnerable—priorities misplaced.

Notable quotes from "IHIP News: Trump TANKING Within His OWN PARTY as ICE TERRORIZES US Citizens! They're FED UP!"

0:00 The Justice Department continues to try to stop the release of the Epstein files. We know they're violating the law. We know that contempt proceedings are coming, but they seem awfully slow. So, one option the oversight committee gave the DOJ was the appointment of a special master. Pop this up, Kylie. Turns out according to Midas touch the DOJ has filed a motion to block the appointment of a independent monitor to release the Epstein files in the Gain Maxwell case. The DOJ argues that the federal courts lack the authority to enforce the Epstein transparency act and that the monitors that were provided aren't good. Whatever. Bottom line is this. An independent monitor would be someone that went through the files and made sure the victim's names were redacted and that everything else was released. But Pam Bondi and the Justice Department do not want that. They do not want any information released that they

1:04 haven't already given to influencers and binders and given small amounts redacted to the gills in this case because they are protecting Donald Trump and they are protecting other powerful people because to them it is more important to cover Trump's ass than justice for the survivors. And this is in my mind, this puts Watergate to shame in terms of corruption. People's lives have been ruined and they are still being ruined. And our justice department, Pam Bondi at the helm, is saying, "Fuck you. We don't care." Okay, here's a really important component to this where the Democrats, if they had a spine, could really attack here. Pam Bondi, Little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, and others in the Trump regime are big grifting um Bible thumping patriot loving the Lord this I have my Christian cross on that. They are pedophile protectors.

2:15 all of these men that they are protecting, one of which is their boss, because we know this because Elon Musk, who got inside the Death Star, who got access to the entire federal government, and he got all of his goons, I'm sure, this is my opinion, to transfer all the hard drives of FBI everything. [snorts] when everybody got sick of him running around the White House high on ketamine with his little kid wiping boogers all over the place, he goes to Twitter and he outs Donald Trump. He will never release the Epstein files because he's in the middle of them. And so the biggest thing for me right here to all of these MAGAC Christian voters, to the uh Riley Gaines of it, to the Erica Kirk of it, to all of these people on the moral high ground that try to lecture to women that they're not somehow female enough because they didn't get married at the age that Erica Kirk and Riley Gaines think they should, or that they're not

3:15 breeding at the rate to which these two people. I want to flip the script. And what I want to say to Riley Gaines, to Erica Kirk, to Pam Bondi, and all of these Christian grifters, these megaurch Christian grifters, if your religion tells you that you shouldn't stand up for little girls that were raped by rich men, you are in a sick, sadistic sex cult. And nobody wants anything to do with your religion. You are walking, talking, breathing example as to why people are running away from Christianity. And that even gets before I get to little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson. Little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, who will not shut the f up about praying and the Lord and all of his religious psychosis.

4:09 this man, his Christianity, just like these other megaurch Christians, their Christianity informs them, we must protect these pedophiles at all costs. And so when they bring their religion into the conversation, it's important that we connect it that this sect of Christianity is a pedophilic sex cult. And it is you have people who are propagandizing this and protecting for a pedophile and other powerful pedophiles surrounding them. And these Christians, these big Christians that preach all this patriotism, America, they're lying to you. They're lying to you. They don't give a about their faith. They don't give a about patriotism. These are billionaire ass kissers. Their whole identity is kissing the ass of billionaires. Imagine you're the speaker of the house. You could actually do something. You could actually say, "Wait a minute. I'm going to stand up for these

5:14 these little girls who were used." And you don't. You use your religion to say, "Well, the Lord this and the Lord that." You use it to provide cover. Yet, you weaponize it against people in your alleged probably own community, Mike. you weaponize it against the LGBTQ plus people. These people are depraved hypocrites to their core. [snorts] Well, and just to add to that, look look at every large church denomination throughout the United States and and abroad always you find sexual abuse against women and girls.

5:58 Boys and boys, right? boys, kids and young, all kids, I think that they have grown these hyper religious people, they've grown callous to it. They they're so used to it in their religion and people inside the leadership of their religion doing it that on some level they must think it's okay because they're rubber stamping this There also in in the in the evangelical Christian movement,

6:28 the fetishization of their children's sex lives, right? And teaching them this purity culture

6:37 um and talking to them at five, at six, little girls about being pure and not about like boundaries and you know to really actually protect them against predators. It's really weird. It's a really weird thing this whole purity culture thing that you start talking to kids about their sex lives when they're like five and six years old. That's a really that is not normal. I I think it's child abuse. I think there's so many facets of evangelical Christianity that are absolute child abuse. Well, and when they start talking about it so young in these religious circles, they put so much shame on it.

7:16 So then when they're violated by another trusted leader or member of the church, they use that to keep these little girls silent. And that it it's just it's horrifying. But they need to look at ground zero. Why do they continue to allow it? And then moving on to something that I saw over the weekend that I knew would make you so happy, Jenny. The polls on Trump are out to date in the year 2026. Did I say that right? I always say it wrong. So, pop up this poll, Kylie. Okay, so [snorts] poll by CBS News, which I'm like, Barry Weiss, where are you? The approval rating for Trump is 41% disapprove 59%. Who the are the 41%? Well, you see, they're all GOP.

8:04 90-10 approved in the GOP, 3-97 in the Dems, and 31 to 69 in the independence. But look where he is on immigration minus 12. That was one of his biggies coming in. The handling of Iran -6, Venezuela - 18. The economy, the price of eggs, I'm going to lower the price of eggs on day one, minus 21. And inflation minus 30. People do not like Trump and how he governs.

8:39 Yeah, he's been it was surprisingly he's been underwater on immigration now for like four months. Like that's not new. Um and so the the the thing that's interesting for me right now is these polls, we show these a lot with all the minus and he's underwater on everything. Sometimes politicians kind of govern a little bit with what public opinion is doing. And again, I don't expect the hive mind of Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, Pam Bondi, you know, I don't expect any of these people to have principles. But corporate Democrats, at least when you see how underwater he is on everything, the fact that legislatively, they play patty cake with him and they continue to you see a big break up of Democrats that continue to vote with Republicans on certain forms of legislation.

9:30 I I I cannot understand this other than to say that the people who were pulling their hair out in 2016 regarding uh the corporate Democrats were right all along. and that movement that Bernie Sanders started back then to highlight the uh American public under the um intoxication of capitalism and how distorted our thinking has become under that. He was spot on and that sometimes the seeds of change get planted a decade prior. And so I think we've all learned a big lesson. I think everybody in the country, with the exception of those 90% of Republicans and the corporate Democrats that are in Congress, I don't think I've met a Democrat, and I've always been surrounded by Democrats, a lot of corporate, you know, establishment Democrats, if you will, that thinks that Chuck Schumer, Corey Booker, or Hakee Jeff are doing a good job at resistance.

10:31 I just haven't I don't see that anywhere. And so the polling for me would be a bigger opportunity for the Democrats to really really start hammering this home. But I I I I just I'm mystified every single time I get on the news. I'm mystified that you started off this episode about Jeffrey Epstein and the Democrats controlled the DOJ a couple years ago and this wasn't released. I mean, because those Oh, well, we couldn't. We have to govern incrementally. Me. Well, Donald Trump has shown you when you have power for four years, you can use it. the fact that the Biden administration could have really exposed all of this and I'm sure there's probably Democrats involved in it too that were customers of

11:25 I'm sure of Jeffrey Epstein. Expose them. I want them arrested as well. Like I'm not a hive mind Elon Musk, you know, like that's not my jam. Like I will criticize my own party. I will criticize um uh our own country. And so I just think what a disappointment the Democratic party continues to be the biggest disappointment. And when you think about we're getting a budget, you know, they have to pass a budget vote by the end of this month. We've got ICE that they could just say no, no more homeland security. All of these things that he's doing, they could control in the budget.

12:03 We're going to get health care subsidies back. Here's the thing. They did a government shutdown. They made inroads with the American public and then they caved at the last minute. So they look every bit as bad as they are. And then just one final poll I wanted to show you because it turns out Greenland and Trump adding to his kingdom, Americans, 89% can agree on anything. Here you go. 86% disapprove of using military force to take over Greenland. Net approve minus40 minus 94 and uh againus 40. Here's the deal. Nobody even really stupid Republicans when they lay their head on the pillow at night know that Greenland has nothing to do with national security.

12:56 It has to do with resources. Here's the thing that nobody talks about. We can have as much military in Greenland as we want and we can have the resources that we want. That's not what this is about. Those agreements are already in place because they are our ally.

13:17 This is about Vladimir Putin wanting to blow up NATO. People on Twitter, in Russia, in Vladimir Putin's cabinet are very excited about this. This is a very unnecessary step. None of this needs to happen. The only country that benefits from this is the failed state of Russia, a weak Russia. This infuses oxygen

13:48 into Putin's long-term game plan of tearing down Western democracies, which now coincides with the tech oligarchs desires to tear down Western democracies. We have basically Greenland. It's not a part of the United States of America, but there are agreements in place. You want to have troops in Greenland for national security, for NATO security, you can have them. You want some of the minerals, the United States can have them. This is the big lie that the Trump administration is propagating to the United States public right now that mainstream media fails to recognize this is a Russian play. This is the American government executing Russian foreign policy. And everybody in Europe knows it. But the Americans don't.

14:42 Well, a lot of in America. I would just say it's interesting. It struck me while you were talking. All of this that Trump is doing and he's crying around about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He's threatening troops in Greenland. You know, Norway is no longer peace. Venezuela. I mean, it's just it's crazy that nobody around him figures out you can't murder people on a boat and want the peace prize. But they can't. All right. They know. They just won't tell him.

15:10 Do you think they know or you think they're so red flag? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I think a lot of them probably know, but they they But knowing something and then caring about it, like they don't care. A lot of people know that like racism exists in the United States, but they don't care. Same thing like once you're in this, you know, they know like, oh yeah, like he's going to get the peace prize when he's blowing all this up. that nobody is going to dare say I mean Susie Wild said to a reporter he's got the personality of an alcoholic

15:43 and you know so yeah they know now some of them don't like maybe little Moses Mike

15:49 yeah he he's a true believer all right like this video subscribe to our channel we'll be back with more
