I Know the Men’s Issue Pete Hegseth Has Really Got — The Daily Beast Podcast

[0:00] i love that pete hexa is encouraging gender affirming care in the military i love that in [0:09] the video that he spoke about this he had on a full face of makeup the maga men are laser focused on [0:15] masculinity because all they think about are men and now we've reached the next layer of this [0:21] where we know they're thinking about penises it's just like the you know the band-aid just [0:26] keeps getting ripped off and they're revealing more about themselves as they feel more emboldened [0:32] in their fascist regime much like trump's cognitive exams pete hexath has found himself [0:39] with a needle in his arm right saying why won't my penis work doc let me know i'm joanna coles this [0:48] is the daily beast and we have a new feature to the podcast which i want

welsh we are going to be talking about lindsey graham mitch mcconnell and of course [1:35] pete hexath where does she stand on high tea low tea i suspect jen has more testosterone in her [1:45] little toe than the entire of the american military let's get into it before we do quick reminder please [1:53] subscribe to the daily beast wherever you get your podcast the reason we can have independent [1:59] conversations is because we are independent media but that means we rely upon your support [2:04] and one of your ways to show that is to subscribe so now finally let's get into it with jen welsh [2:14] oh my goodness you are the scourge of the department of education jen welsh is back on the podcast [2:22] and she has pissed off the head of the education department linda mcmahon jen explain everything [2:29] before we get into discussing hexath mitch mcconnell lindsey graham all of them yes let us [2:36] first discuss you and how you upset the department of education okay so on my podcast i've had it [2:44] my co-host and i were discussing homeschooling and how a lot of homeschoolers do this because they want [2:50] to teach creationism and in the homeschooling pamphlets they talk about dinosaurs living with [2:56] man at the same time discourage critical thinking and i said this is trickle-down stupidity the people [3:03] the dumbest people she knew in college were homeschooling their kids and so this is trickle-down [3:08] stupidity this is maggot on steroids this is maha this is trad wife this is unvaxxed and unjacked and [3:15] all that trickle down stupidity i wish that i had thought it's such a good line and it is of course what [3:23] homeschooling is okay i know some of you out there have been homeschooled you can leave us a comment [3:29] but i think homeschooling isn't good for the kid or the parent it's not and and my my point was [3:34] that the parents can't critically think they're very scared of the world they're very fear-based [3:39] people they've been encouraged to be blindly obedient and so i called it trickle-down stupidity [3:45] they chop it up new york post fox news bedwetting hand-wringing pearl clutching losing their mind i get [3:51] really excited about this because it's so easy to just poke them because they're so scared of people and [3:56] the liberal white jennifer welch you know really terrifies them so much to my surprise you terrify [4:02] all of us i'm just putting it out there you do touché uh but they uh kylie our producer said um [4:10] jen the department of education just tweeted about you and it was like uh trick they quoted the new [4:16] york times post and it was like trick uh homeschool homeschooling is great blah blah blah all of these [4:24] platitudes meanwhile it's important to note that of course they uh piled onto this because part of [4:30] the fascist project is christian nationalism and christian nationalism an antidote to that is [4:37] education trump likes the poorly educated so of course there's he said he's open these are his words [4:42] i love the uneducated he wants linda mcmahon to close down the department of education because [4:48] fascism can thrive if you have a dumbed down trickle down stupidity electorate and so of [4:54] course they've clamored onto this did you just do that trickle down trickle down stupidity this could [4:59] be i mean this could be a gesture that we all start doing trickle down incompetence you can you can say [5:05] it with so many things yes you can so where are we now has someone come to you and asked you to start [5:12] a school i would send my children to the gen welsh school of life the general school of life glenn beck [5:19] just posted on instagram that he is he would like pumps and me to debate a 15 year old home schooler [5:28] on his show you i hope you said yes no of course i'm not going to do it i mean a 15 year old homeschooler [5:34] because as a mother like this 15 year old has been wildly indoctrinated probably thinks that the earth [5:40] is 5 000 years old and here's the thing and they probably live with a dinosaur pterodactyl yeah [5:49] and uh i i don't want to intellectually bully a child now glenn beck i would love to intellectually [5:56] bully but so you should you should do a debate with glenn beck about it glenn if you're watching [6:01] the challenge is laid down in person in person possibly naked not naked i don't know that there's [6:10] a bottle of vodka big enough that would um entice me to see glenn beck naked all right so unit arts [6:16] then unit i do think a wrestling a debate i mean actually it was the thing that charlie kirk said he [6:23] loved to do right debate you you know take me on and we'll argue it out although he had pretty extreme [6:29] positions too um so where does this end jen i mean the new cycle will run amok new tomorrow they will be [6:37] scared terrified of somebody else you know these are the people that are scared of jimmy kimmel [6:43] stephen colbert drag queens books jennifer welch podcasters these people live in a constant [6:50] state of heightened fear so while i am scaring them today fret not tomorrow some new scary person will [6:58] come out and scare the out of them tomorrow and then they'll just repeat the hysteria all over again [7:03] and that's what life is like inside the magical okay so side note as we are both the mother of two [7:10] sons two sons yeah two sons could you imagine anything worse than homeschooling them no i couldn't [7:18] and i don't think they could imagine anything worse right i know the idea of my two sons being trapped [7:24] with me for 15 years as i was distractedly trying to teach them math geography all the things what [7:32] what a disaster that would be a complete disaster and i don't know about you but when my kids sometimes [7:37] they're like hey mom can you help me with my homework and i'd sit down it was like algebra and i'm like [7:41] um uh straining like i don't remember this it's been mad no no i remember my best friend's husband used to [7:51] be on homework duty from time to time and she said it was always a disaster because you would just end [7:55] up shouting at them understand why can't you do this and it's just it's some of us are not born to [8:02] teach exactly we're not born to teach but the mega movement also has weaponized all of this against [8:09] teachers who are wonderful people who are underpaid and they have made teachers out to be a boogeyman and [8:15] so they are encouraging this homeschooling and so that's why they have just completely latched on [8:20] to what i said because it is a mirror it is a mirror up to how stupid their plans are for the [8:27] department of education okay well we've got off to a flying start with jen welsh a flying start okay so [8:35] you know my next question obviously is testosterone i suspect you have more testosterone in your little [8:43] finger than the entire of the american military what do you think of haggers's decision our secretary [8:51] of forever wars uh that there should be compulsory testing for testosterone in the military i love this [8:59] i love that pete hegseth is encouraging gender affirming care in the military i love that in the [9:08] video that he spoke about this he had on a full face of makeup with multi multiple camera angles [9:15] why was he doing that thing where he looked into the middle distance i thought that was very strange [9:20] because he starts by looking directly at you and then there's suddenly a shot where he's talking [9:25] over yes you're like where have you gone i immediately noticed that as well this is an [9:29] unserious person we don't have to look that far into freud's teachings to understand and deduce what's [9:35] happening here the maga men are laser focused on masculinity because all they think about are men [9:42] and now we've reached the next layer of this where we know they're thinking about penises it's just like [9:48] the you know the band-aid just keeps getting ripped off and they're revealing more about themselves [9:54] as they feel more emboldened in their fascist regime so so what is it about though the quest for [10:01] more testosterone because i don't think they have much i think this is the governing of low t people [10:09] people that have high testosterone number one probably don't even know it because they've never had [10:14] to test it the fact that he's thinking about this tells me much like trump's cognitive exams pete [10:22] hegseth has found himself with a needle in his arm right saying why won't my penis work doc let me know [10:28] and then they oh buddy you've got low t you need testosterone injections i think when the history [10:35] books are written about all of this and all the tell-all memoirs after you know who kicks the bucket [10:40] it's going to be revealed that all of these broken men have caused a ripple effect by their uniting and [10:47] to try to keep their secrets you know covered up when i think we know a lot of them are in the closet a lot [10:54] of them are probably bisexual so you have experience with addiction pete hegseth has had problems with [11:02] alcohol he left his two jobs running veterans affairs organizations with accusations by whistleblowers [11:12] and by former colleagues that he was intoxicated on the job when he went through his hearings he promised [11:19] that he would not be drinking on the job do you think this is another aspect of his issue with [11:28] substances absolutely i don't think he's ever received treatment my husband as you mentioned is in [11:34] recovery and people that are in recovery it requires rigorous honesty which precludes any addict [11:41] currently in the trump regime that may be an active addiction it precludes them from seeking treatment [11:48] because the number one rule is you have to be rigorously honest and you can't have secrets [11:54] the whole trump regime is about secrets and lies so of course he's either not sober or he is a raging [12:01] dry drunk this is not a person in recovery this is not a person who's gone through therapy we may [12:06] remember that he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman paid her hush money his mother wrote him a [12:13] letter begging him to stop assaulting women and treating women like yeah she said you are an abuser of [12:19] women yes and i think that a lot of the problems with these men are the secrets they keep and in pete [12:29] hexeth world he is a really crazy christian and you probably heard his pastor talk about women not [12:37] having the right to vote and all of this stuff and pete hexeth probably tries to solve his problems by [12:43] saying jesus please forgive me and this is the this is how where trumpism and christian nationalism [12:51] completely dovetail trump has been able to commit all of these crimes and do unethical things and [12:57] the public has forgiven him without any accountability well that's what evangelical christianity promotes [13:03] forgiveness without accountability okay so let me ask you something because uh looking at the washington [13:10] post ipsos poll last week the only real people now full-throatedly supporting trump are catholics roman [13:20] catholics and white evangelicals where'd someone like lindsay graham fit in that mix right so again it goes [13:32] to the secrets i grew up in oklahoma which is very very evangelical christian oklahoma city in the state of [13:39] oklahoma the predominant religion is evangelical christianity and these people my mother would [13:45] always say my mother lifelong atheist 83 years old she'd always say how did she even end up in [13:51] that mix how did you end up in oklahoma what was your family doing that we're from dallas originally [13:56] and then my dad bought some businesses and we moved to oklahoma okay and so she would always say well [14:01] jennifer the bigger the bigger the christian the bigger the secret and it was always true my friends that [14:07] were recruiting me the most that were like you've got to go get saved you've got to get saved that [14:11] were just like manic about it their families i'd go spend the night and i'd notice one night the mom [14:16] kind of had a black eye and i would say heather white why does your mom have a black eye she's like oh [14:23] my dad and mom got in a fight the other night well it turns out her dad was banging the secretary [14:28] and mom found out confronts him he roughs her up but these were the people that told me that my family was [14:35] going to burn in hell forever because we didn't go to the church that they went through so how do [14:40] they atone for that jesus please forgive me i screwed my secretary and i punched my wife poof you're [14:47] forgiven who does that sound like trump starts an insurrection all of the things supreme court you have [14:55] immunity poof no accountability so people ask me this all the time how can evangelicals support trump [15:03] it's the exact same thing authoritarian religion has a accountability forgiveness without accountability [15:11] and authoritarian government they both require blind obedience and picking up the rug sweeping things [15:19] under and putting them out he does seem to be using the military for as his own personal trainer [15:25] i mean you see him pushing sleds he's always doing weights he's doing he's attempting to put to do pull [15:31] ups have you seen them well it makes the case for low t right but have you seen him trying to do the [15:38] press the bench pressing and the pull-ups i could do better than he could do okay well that glenn beck [15:44] should challenge the two of you two yeah hegseth versus jennifer welsh i'll do it i'll take it and then [15:49] rfk junior should be the referee he should he can actually he's actually pretty fit i have to give [15:55] credit where credit is due half is pretty hard i haven't seen the bottom half i'll just never get over [15:59] he and kid rock climbing in that bathtub drinking milk together that was a weird shit so weird and [16:04] that thing where he's on his bicycle in this so weird so strange and then he's out with dr oz [16:09] climbing up things and then dr oz gets stuck they're so weird it's very very odd but i think [16:14] that pete hegseth has transferred his passion for alcohol to a passion for exercise which is why he's [16:21] always working out with the troops he's pushing his sled i just think that now he's getting into [16:26] into into high t low t whatever the t it is michael wolf says that this is pete hegseth's um throwing [16:37] his hat in the ring to be president in 2028 that he realizes that jd vance and marco rubio have got [16:44] a head start jd vance was out doing joe rogan last week he was doing everything with his book and pete [16:51] hegseth is whoa what's happening and marco's running venezuela he's national security advisor [16:57] he's secretary of state and pete hegseth is this war isn't going very well and what i call myself [17:02] the secretary of war he should have stuck with defense now his secretary for ever wars so this [17:08] is him saying hey over here free tea injections for the brosphere thoughts do you think that i mean [17:14] might be plausible yes because i think most of the men in the maga movement um are they feel 10 [17:22] foot tall and bulletproof and i think that they they like dunking on things they know that they have [17:28] failed forward and that life has come at them too easily and so of course pete hegseth who is [17:36] breathtakingly incompetent who is a an impulsive thinker an impulse impulsive actor of course he thinks [17:45] he would have the hubris and the arrogance and the delusion of grandeur to think that he could [17:49] be president of the united states so yeah i can buy into that i hope he does run i hope he does run i [17:55] hope he runs too i hope yeah i do because we all need some fun we need some entertainment yeah i want [18:00] him to run i want him to run too okay good all right so we'll be behind him also they can i always [18:05] think he looks like an american girl doll he does little pocket chief he does little socks and his [18:11] stars and stripes accessories i think there could be a whole line american doll yes american boy doll [18:17] this is joanna and i are endorsing on the republican ticket for 2028 we are pete hegseth pete hegseth yeah [18:25] our american doll boy yep perfect okay so mitch mcconnell dead or alive i'm sorry but [18:33] oh that's such a good i think i think we've got a situation where we have a veggie boy propped up i [18:45] think his brain is such bad taste i know it is but you know what but i don't care because mitch mcconnell [18:52] uh had i intend to treat mitch mcconnell the way he treated the american electorate the way he has [18:59] treated american women the way he has treated our constitution so yes i'm gonna bask in the bad taste [19:05] of bashing mitch mcconnell because women in my home state don't have a right to abortion and are [19:12] dying because of mitch mcconnell and we could go on and on about all the horrible things that he's done [19:17] but am i sad that he's in the hospital at 80 god only knows how much i mean i feel like we've been [19:23] watching this man die for five years every time he's not been well would you if you were his wife [19:30] and that is a scenario i'm struggling to imagine [19:36] i'm gonna say would you pull the plug i was going to say would you have come back from your trip to [19:41] china where you were meeting the vice president of china to see your husband who'd fallen and been [19:48] unconscious taken to a hospital and the emergency call had cpr on it they said oh well you know [19:56] patient is undergoing cpr he's taken to hospital in an ambulance we know because he's told us he was [20:03] unconscious his wife elaine chow was away if you were married to mitch mcconnell would you have come [20:10] back i know that's a hypothetical if i was married to mitch mcconnell would i come back no okay if my current [20:17] husband cpr i would immediately get back that wild horses couldn't keep me from getting to his side [20:24] but if i was married to mitch mcconnell no i'd elaine chowett you'd elaine chowett it's a new verb [20:31] isn't it it is yeah okay first so you think he's in are you with laura loomer on this that he's in a [20:37] persistent vegetative state why do you have to put me in such that is diabolical okay diabolical company [20:45] she she's kind of am i kind of i kind of am with her i kind of am on this issue i am finding myself [20:51] in strange bedfellows with laura loomer i do not think that this man is of sound mind the photograph [21:00] that he took from an american hospital as though he were a hostage of al-qaeda or isis is breathtaking [21:08] and clutching the news clutching the newspaper and trying to smile i'm calling on all [21:15] of it and i think andy breshear needs to grow up here and do what mitch mcconnell would do [21:20] and call the election just start it would definitely he would definitely do it definitely [21:26] and then let mitch mcconnell come out and say no i'm here i'm completely fine what are y'all doing this [21:31] is crazy why has nobody put mitch mcconnell on just a knife a 10-second video to reassure people [21:40] that he because he's in a vegetative state his chief of staff his his main advisor gets paid [21:48] quarter of a million dollars he hasn't figured out how to actually reassure people that mitch is still [21:56] compus mentis right i i just this is serious he is a united states senator how many people on both [22:05] sides of the aisle um whether it's rbg or what was the lady in california diane feinstein diane feinstein [22:13] or what about k donald trump k granger congresswoman in texas who it turned out had moved into a [22:19] residential care home exactly alzheimer's and was still congresswoman exactly and this is just the senate [22:25] is ours the senate is the people's and these this club of crusty old senators have made it theirs [22:34] and we need to demand the way mitch mcconnell would demand i mean he he was he had power and he wielded [22:40] it even when he was the minority leader of the senate and i think that andy breshear needs to man up [22:48] and call the election right now do it andy breshe probably needs to call uh pete hexath and get a shot [22:55] get a shot of high tea courtesy and yeah courtesy of the u.s military do you think that uh do you [23:01] think that this is a good moment for andy breshear i mean what would what would gavin newsom be doing [23:06] if this was happening in california i think we would see him gavin makes bold moves i mean that's [23:13] one thing that he does he likes to be provocative towards trump um i do i think it could really be a [23:21] game changer for andy breshear i interviewed him in person once in oklahoma and he's like straight out [23:26] of central casting he's southerner choir boy nice progressive on a lot of issues good looking really [23:33] good looking i mean just and you can just tell he's like a good person like he came in i was like he's [23:37] just a good person this for him to show the kind of cojones to do something like this i think it would [23:43] put him right up there in the talk for 2028 right because the electorate is craving people that fight [23:50] we want the our politicians to fight for us the way maggot is fighting to tear everything down the [23:58] way maggot is fighting to plunder we want our politicians to fight for us and i think if andy [24:02] were to do this it could be a seismic shift in his political future but if he were to do that does that [24:08] put him at odds with a republican state that has voted for him and of course his father was governor [24:15] too right so in a sense does he end up he he's got to kind of straddle a line in terms of i think a [24:23] lot of his voters are actually normally republican or people who voted for mitch mcconnell have also [24:29] voted for andy bachear i think that he i think that now is not a time to straddle either fight fascism [24:39] or don't but the straddlers are the silent people that are capitulating and so i'm tired of the [24:45] straddlers i would rather sit down with somebody that's batshit crazy maggot than a moderate right [24:50] now wow yeah i would wow because right now in the face of what we're seeing it is either you're going [24:58] to fight this with everything you can or you're going to fight for it people are i had a professor [25:04] on the podcast yesterday and he was like i'm just in the middle and i'm like in the middle of fascism [25:09] what does that look like what does it mean to be in the middle of this and i think we need to be [25:14] clear-eyed with our full chest that we oppose this we oppose the crime syndicate that is planted in the [25:22] executive branch right now so where are you on todd blanche he's a compulsive liar he is a pedophile [25:30] protector he is a a criminal enabler um he goes in to his hearings with two active bar complaints [25:39] that's never happened i mean you know everybody's like oh we're living in unprecedented times i'm [25:44] like i really want precedented times my husband was on my podcast earlier and he said i never thought [25:49] i'd say this but give me back jeff sessions that's how low the bar is right and jeff sessions yet [25:57] another of trump's people who worked slavishly for him recused himself over russia as we all remember [26:03] and of course has never really gotten back on his feet after that no no and that's that's the price [26:09] that's why all of these men will debase themselves um to trump and you know what it is i've just [26:17] figured the whole thing out you know the trad wide movement is popping off all over the place all of [26:22] these maga men little moses mike johnson pete hegseth marco rubio ted cruz all of them could put on [26:31] a master class on how to be a trad wife we are governed by submissive men that are trad wives [26:39] to donald trump donald trump's cabinet is actually a trad wife cabinet it's a trad wife cabinet [26:44] our wife cabinet that is the reality they are so submissive and he finds them boring because he falls [26:49] asleep in his own cabinet meetings if everybody agrees with you all the time it's a snooze fest it's a [26:54] snooze fest okay all right helipad will you be flying your helicopter to the new helipad on the [27:02] south lawn of course of course when i take my helicopter i'll i think there's a helicopter in [27:08] your future jen the way that you're going so i still can't help thinking it should be jen welsh for [27:15] senate come on jen you've got to find a safe seat we've gone over this joanna you know i would rather [27:21] earn my money on my back than be a politician but rather it just be cleaner more defined less nuanced [27:29] yeah um no i think that the reflecting pool the um all of the gold medallions i know you probably saw [27:37] the crazy glue that was on trump's desk the other day right um all of these things we can dive down [27:44] and talk about but i decided i don't give a about any of these things i don't care about the east wing i [27:50] don't care about the ballroom i don't care about the arch i don't care about the reflecting pool i [27:54] don't care about the helipad we can fix all of that we can fix every single bit of that he is turning [27:59] upside down the rule of law he is appointing people that met with gilane maxwell privately and told her [28:09] look i'll move you and here's a pardon this is what i'm deducing from this i don't know if this is true [28:15] or not this is just my hypothesis and when it's politically convenient i'll roll it out for you just keep [28:20] your mouth shut don't send anything else to the wall street journal do you think she'll be pardoned [28:24] as trump leaves office assuming she can't be she can't be pardoned before then yes do you think that [28:30] that trump actually has won the epstein files no they're pesky they have a they they just don't [28:38] ever completely go away do they we think oh they kind of ebb and flow i think there's too much there [28:47] there's just an overwhelming amount of evidence there i mean and the more they cover it up the [28:53] more public opinion turns on on him regarding that on both sides so there's still three million more [29:00] files to come out that haven't come out but there doesn't seem to be any pressing call for them to [29:06] come out i mean we had andrew weissman the former general counsel of the fbi on the podcast last week and [29:12] he was saying there is a smoking gun in those three million files that haven't yet come out there's [29:19] obviously a smoking gun otherwise why wouldn't they release them and that's one of his reasons why he [29:24] thinks todd blanch should never be attorney general um but i wonder i can't help wondering if the fire has [29:32] gone out of the epstein files i don't think so i really don't i i just don't think that that is going to [29:40] completely die i think that every single time i open up my phone there's some story related to it [29:47] and the the survivors and their bravery and always putting themselves in the news they showed up to [29:53] todd blanche's um confirmation hearings and he's refusing to meet with them and the democrats need to [30:01] do did you think the democrats did a good enough job of interrogating todd blanche i didn't see all of [30:08] it but typically i would say the democrats should be the first in line to get some of these low t shots [30:16] and i'm a democrat i am a democrat but i wish that they would get rid of their give effect meter [30:24] and just start fighting their approval rating is low because they don't fight hard enough it's not [30:31] because people disagree with them it's because they don't fight hard enough and now is the moment [30:37] where andy breshear as good a man as he is he needs to go gangster i was surprised during the [30:45] todd blanche hearings that it was actually john cornyn who as we know has been primaried by trump [30:50] in texas but it was his dissection of the slush fund the 1.8 billion dollar slush fund that seemed to [30:59] hang around todd blanche the most and then there was the moment when john kennedy senator from [31:05] louisiana asked him are you a friend of mr trump and and he goes well i'm his lawyer i mean i was [31:12] his lawyer i was his lawyer i'm the acting attorney general and you thought oh john kennedy yet again [31:18] caught someone else out do you remember when he went after christine ome and just sliced and diced yes [31:23] uh when he said you know you spent quarter of a billion on that ad campaign did mr did mr trump [31:29] know you were spending that money yeah and i'm sorry i can't resist it i love his accent i love [31:34] those southern accents um but he got effectively he got rid of of christine ome and i can't help [31:42] wondering if by accident i don't think it was on purpose he managed to get todd blanche to trip on his [31:48] own shoes you know i think that it's really you ring up a really interesting point republicans by [31:55] nature are they fight a little bit harder and when i think about the people who are now disassociated [32:03] from maga that are still republicans thomas massey marjorie taylor green um uh torness yeah until this [32:13] who's leaving they seem to outflank democrats in their critique of republicans it's incredible if [32:22] you hear thomas massey or marjorie taylor green talk about united states policy with benjamin netanyahu's [32:30] government they outflank schumer and jeffries on this and even though the democratic party the base [32:38] that we our leadership doesn't ever listen to the base at all and so you have sometimes these [32:43] very bad actors i think in marjorie taylor green or tucker carlson and some of the others who [32:50] end up outflanking democrats in their critique of donald trump she i mean marjorie taylor green [32:57] went on some rant the other day about the war in iran and people being war hawks she bat i mean just [33:03] completely eviscerated lindsey graham he was a war hawk he was a warmonger and all of this stuff [33:09] and then all the democrats are like cory booker's like you know he was really a hero cory booker [33:15] referred to lindsey graham as a hero i'm like what are we doing what are we doing here lindsey [33:20] graham was a piece of objectively this is a man who you know was clearly gay and ran a voted against gay [33:30] issues all the time a complete war hawk homicidal really and um we can't be calling him a hero what [33:39] what are we doing okay so you got a huge uh response to one of your posts after lindsey graham died [33:49] holding a drone can you just describe for us okay so i was very intrigued when i got online and somebody [33:58] posted a photograph and said this is lindsey graham's last known photograph and he was in ukraine [34:05] and he is holding a drone and listener and viewer the drone was black and it looked like a big giant [34:14] penis this is this is poetry in motion of course maggie loses their mind jennifer welch said lindsey [34:22] graham liked penis i have so many lgbtq plus friends and i see from living in a red state how [34:31] closeted men closeted christian family guy republicans ostracized demeaned diminish these people during [34:38] the day and then fetishize them at night i don't know if you saw actress um uh james rose on instagram [34:47] uh she did a video where she and she has tripled down on it she alleges that lindsey graham she's [34:55] a sex worker paid her a stack of cash and lindsey was wearing red lingerie she performed all sorts of [35:03] sex acts on lindsey graham now here's the thing if lindsey graham's kinky and likes to wear red panties i [35:08] don't care but when you're voting against gay stuff then it's relevant it is a relevant issue he was in [35:15] favor of the defense of marriage act exactly exactly so he's you know anti-gay during the [35:20] day and then doing a bunch of gay stuff at night and so i don't i mean this whole idea that when [35:26] somebody dies we have to reinvent who they were is insane to me like trump doesn't do that he hated [35:34] robert moeller he goes after him now i don't want to completely go after lindsey graham but i go after [35:39] him just as much in his death as i did when he was alive his death is not going to make me go oh lindsey [35:46] died i don't i can't call him gay anymore because whether he's alive or dead lindsey graham was a [35:51] closeted gay man jen welsh it's always good to see you it is always good to see you and you're about to [35:58] go off on holiday so i'm so glad we got squeezed onto you i know i knew i had to i knew i had to i knew [36:05] we had to reunite we did we did have to reunite jen welsh thank you so much for coming into the [36:10] studio and i want to see you the minute you get back from italy of course it will happen excellent [36:16] thank you is there anything that jen welsh doesn't have a strident opinion on it's why i love talking to [36:27] her because she's got such sort of lateral ideas and funny phrases from trickle down stupidity to her [36:34] fascination with how difficult it is to be gay in the evangelical community and of course they form [36:43] donald trump's base anyway i love having her on she'll be back again soon the moment she gets back [36:48] from her italian holiday if you have
