Chapter 1: What urgent issues are being addressed in this episode?

1.479 - 9.105 Jennifer Welch

Happy Sunday, everyone, and welcome to IHIP News. The Lord rests on Sunday, but pumps and I do not.

10.766 - 17.03 Pumps

No, we are not going to take a break because, as one might say, the house is on fire. It is.

0

17.09 - 36.57 Jennifer Welch

In a few minutes, we're going to be joined by Senator Cory Booker. So everybody join the chat, and if you have any questions for the senator, pop those in there. Let's talk briefly. I read an article this morning that Kash Patel— as we know, is a total nut and is now at the FBI. And he has told everybody in the FBI to ignore

37.296 - 44.341 Pumps

Elon Musk's letters. Really? Yeah. So that is interesting. Are we going to have a power struggle?

0

44.862 - 71.254 Jennifer Welch

Well, and then some podcasts resurfaced where Kash Patel had been bashing Elon in the past. And so I just think there's going to be a lot of trouble when you have all of these dysfunctional, broken people with unaddressed inner childhood trauma. what I also like to call is the cabinet of dipshits, dangerous dipshits.

71.815 - 93.693 Jennifer Welch

The personalities, they're not always going to be on the same page at the same time. And you're going to have some people that want to play hero and want to jockey themselves to be the big dick in charge. And so it's going to be interesting to watch over the next, I would say, 60, 90 days as who is the point person. Right now, it seems like Musk is, even over Trump.

93.893 - 96.575 Jennifer Welch

So it's going to be interesting to see how all of the chips fall.

96.806 - 116.256 Pumps

Well, and you also have people, particularly Elon Musk, and they want to be number one in Trump's eyes. They want to be number one boyfriend. And so the fight amongst them, like you said, who's going to be the star? Who's going to stand out most? Who's going to be the cruelest on Trump's behalf? This narcissism, it can't all live together.

116.796 - 143.537 Jennifer Welch

So the economy is already starting to completely destabilize. And for a lot of people, we live in a red state, viewer, and a lot of people that I know that were trying to justify their Trump vote, it was inflation. And the economy. And now we see that everything that he's doing is inflationary. And the stock market is going to start correcting very quickly.

Chapter 2: Why is Senator Cory Booker joining the discussion?

239.221 - 240.002 Senator Cory Booker

Yeah, I'm in. I'm in.

0

240.302 - 245.486 Jennifer Welch

We threw you right in live. We just threw you right at the wolves, Senator. I am so sorry.

0

246.186 - 255.033 Senator Cory Booker

No worries. Are you kidding me? No worries whatsoever. I'm just rushed back from the studio. I just did meet the press and am very excited to be here with you.

0

255.453 - 285.712 Jennifer Welch

We're so excited to have you. And I was joking with somebody on your staff and he wrote, if it's Sunday, it's I've had it. And in Trump's America, I think the title of our podcast has never been more appropriate because this is a shit show of epic proportions. It is Painful to watch, but I want to jump in and I want to talk to you about something I've been thinking about a lot lately.

286.412 - 310.294 Jennifer Welch

Do you remember in 2016, McCarthy and then Speaker of the House Paul Ryan were on a hot tape talking about that they believed that Trump was on Putin's payroll? And then they had to come back out of that and say, oh, no, no, we were joking. We were just joking about that. But clearly they weren't because they said, hey, this stays in here and this is family talk.

311.074 - 337.368 Jennifer Welch

And then we had Hillary Clinton in 2016 that was like, he's totally a puppet of Putin. And now we see. this president of the United States do everything to appease Vladimir Putin. And I was wondering for the longest time, why are they after Canada? And it dawned on me that Justin Trudeau said under oath that Vladimir Putin pays Tucker Carlson.

337.948 - 347.635 Jennifer Welch

And then all of a sudden Trump's in and it's like, ta-da, Canada is going to be our 51st state. And I feel like we're not freaking out enough about this, Senator. And I want your take on this.

348.151 - 377.39 Senator Cory Booker

Well, I don't mean to add to your sense of freak out, but there is a world order that was established after World War II that we've been enjoying the fruits of for a very long time. And sort of prescient people of both parties understood that the time of individual powers invading other nations just because they're bigger and stronger of the authoritarian style of leadership had to go.

377.43 - 402.267 Senator Cory Booker

And what had to replace that world order is a collection of nations that share ideals that could stop us from ever tumbling back into the kind of fascist totalitarian world where we had these global conflicts. And we've enjoyed that for a long time. But yet what we see with Trump, excuse me, what we see with Putin, who has been talking a lot, not just about Ukraine.
