Jennifer Welch 0:03
Ready, one, two, three. Patriots, gay-triots, they-triots, black-triots, brown-triots, and the MAGA triple Trumpers can do what, Pumps? Fuck off! Welcome to America's Top DEI Podcast. Hard-hitting critique of fascism and just the complete douchebaggery and fuckery coming out of this administration. Pumps, what have you had it with? Well, that is a perfect segue into my, I've had it.
Angie "Pumps" Sullivan 0:59
What I have fucking had it with is the Supreme court. And the US Senate and US House of Representatives completely abandoned their duty as a checks and balances to the executive branch. I've had it with Donald Trump getting away with fucking crimes one right after the other.

What specific issues have the hosts had it with regarding Donald Trump?

Angie "Pumps" Sullivan 1:21
I've had it with the callousness with which they treat people. and sending masks in to cities i have had it the way they demean migrants i've had it from top to bottom for them getting away with all this and they do it because mike johnson has no balls because he's a coward and they do it because all these people are more scared of trump than their constituents and i had it with the worthless six on the Supreme Court that have said, you can do whatever the fuck you want, because we would rather have a monarch and an authoritarian in government than we would any other rule of the people by the people for the people. I fucking had it up to my eyeballs.
Jennifer Welch 2:09
Yeah, it's really gut wrenching when you see so many people collapse.

How do the hosts view the role of the Supreme Court in politics?

Jennifer Welch 2:16
I understand a crazy person. I understand a morally corrupt person. We've been around an individual with character flaws. Everybody has. Nobody's exempt from that. But the people surrounding him and more importantly, the 80 percent, over 80 percent evangelical Christians that voted for this man. I do think we have to look at making some lemonade out of this. And finally, we have exposed, not we, Trump has exposed the white people. megachurch evangelical voter for the absolute hypocrites that they are. They stand on their Bible and claim the moral high ground and say, we are the family values voter, we're values voters, we're pro-life, and it's all bullshit. They voted for an evil villain who's not even that cool, who's not even that great, who each day outdoes himself.
Jennifer Welch 3:14
and his staff outdoes themselves on how corrupt and lawless and brazen they can be. It's exhausting being an American, but we have to be prescriptive in a sense as well and prescribe for our listeners and the American public at large. There is a choice here. And what we all have to do is we can browbeat these

What insights does Wajahat Ali provide on political accountability?

Jennifer Welch 3:40
MAGA, Triple Trumpers forever. And we've done a great job with that on this podcast. We have been united in that. We have really let them have it. But at times, I think we need to shift gears and start talking about as a community. We're all on here. We're listening. We're commenting on the YouTube section. What we need to start doing are having conversations about making sure that everyone we know is registered because they are going to gerrymander the shit out of all of these states. The turnout for the midterms has to be so large that all of the cheating that they attempt and all of the assists that they receive from the Supreme Court, that we deliver such a repudiation. I am talking a blue tsunami, to quote the convicted felon president, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Jennifer Welch 4:33
And we have agency, we have autonomy, and we have power. None of these people are jack shit without our money or our vote. And from now until next November, we're going to see, I think, an escalation in fuckery, an escalation in corruption, an escalation in assists from the Supreme Court.

How do the hosts suggest engaging with MAGA supporters?

Jennifer Welch 4:56
But we must not be deterred. We have survived almost a year now. We've done it. We're battle tested, guys. We are battle tested. We have to, with everything in us, understand that you have to get the people that you think would never vote, don't care, go talk to them. Talk to your MAGA relatives about the moral depravity and the cruelty coming from this administration. Our children's lives and the trajectory of our country and many people's just lives and ability to access cancer treatment depend on us delivering a mandate to the Democrats
