SPEAKER 2
Hello, Substack, and welcome to our Substack Live. We've been having a lot of fun with these Substack Lives lately, Ben, and we've been having some incredible guests introducing the Substack community to incredible newcomers to the platform, but not newcomers to the ecosystem in general.
0:16
We are talking about today the world-famous ladies from the I've Had It podcast podcast. I love them so much. Jennifer Welch, Angie Sullivan, aka Pumps in the house with me and Ben of Midas Touch. And it is so incredible to have the both of you here. Welcome to Substack. I'm so excited. We love Substack so much.
0:37
We're so excited to have you on Substack. We're so excited to to be able to do these collaborations with you guys and chat with you guys because we love your work. Our editors love your work. Also, our producers, they're always sending us clips from your show and talking about you guys and everything you say on your shows.

I’ve Had It Podcast on Trump DISASTER

A recording from MeidasTouch Network's live video
488

Hi Meidas Mighty,

Wow—what a blast!

We just had the opportunity to host a Substack Live with Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, the incredible hosts of the I’ve Had It podcast, to welcome them to Substack! We’re absolutely thrilled to have these hilarious, no-B.S., pro-democracy warriors join this community.

When we interviewed Jim Acosta the other day, he spoke about the need to form an alliance of pro-democracy creators. We’d like to think this is the next step in making that happen.

You can now watch (or rewatch!) our live stream with Jennifer and Pumps above. If you somehow haven’t come across I’ve Had It until now, trust us—you’re about to fall in love.

Make sure to subscribe to them on Substack here:

A huge thank you to the many thousands of you who tuned in for our live video with

Viktor's avatar

I kindly must disagree with you. It is okay for American citizens to boo Trump or take a knee.

It is even completely appropriate for other nations to boo our anthem as it is their way of saying "We are displeased with who you have chosen to represent you and you have to fix this!"

But for "Americans to boo our own anthem, would be a sign that we have lost hope in America and as long as there is opposition to soggy orange there is always hope!"

I read a sports article where Fox had to put in cheers because they booed him when they showed him. They also booed Taylor Swift a Pennsylvania native. Because she was dating a Chiefs player (Travis).Her family moved to Tennessee when she was like 13 yrs old. So she could pursue a career in country music in nearby Nashville. If I am incorrect in something someone please correct me.

Yes, but tRumputinists came to be out of sadistic, psychopathic hatred for any basics of political correctness. So, how to be politically correct to those whose entire being is made of hatred for political correctness and who imposed these "game-rules" more than a decade or even two decades ago?? Remember, you can not and should not ever be tolerant to/of the intolerants!! It does matter who starts what first!! You have to learn to punch back!! Don't ever start first but once attacked, as we've been since forever, it's too long too overdue we the Democrats and Social-Liberals start self-defending ourselves with all and every means!!

Absolutely just sickening.

Vel Santic's avatar

The World Mental Health Coalition, as experts in the forensic psychopathology of the criminally insane, are the best equipped with knowledge to handle the tRumputin's cult!

But, the system in USA disallowing the experts to be more relevant, is a huge part of the problem. Thusly, the pernicious feedback loop circle keeps on circling until the complete destruction - and it didn't have to be that way - had only the system in USA allowed the competent professionals to do their job!!!

A look into how the tech leaders may be using the new administration to achieve their own agenda. Looking specifically at Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks as well as their relationship with figures like JD Vance, Balaji Srinivasan, and Curtis Yarvin. There is a focused discussion on how a shaping of the government might take place based on convergences between the ideas of Yarvin, who influences the tech libertarian right, and Project 2025, who have authored a playbook exclusively for President Trump to help with his transition to power.

This needs to be shared everywhere. I replied to another comment asking people to look into members of this group and received the most vile, racist, misogynistic response to my message which hopefully came from an AI bot. Curtis Yarvin would be considered more of an influencer and others are actors.

I never liked him which is different than thinking of him as dangerous. I'm pretty sure he said that he became a Catholic and then openly says that he is willing lie to get his way. His wife is East Indian yet not a word of defense when aspersions are cast. I just thought that he was slimly and a liar like Trump. Trump will do anything for money and power; but, he does it for ideological reasons which is much more dangerous.

Expand full comment
Vel Santic's avatar

those sorts of creatures are opportunists of the worst sort. he didn't "become Catholic" - he became opus dei-read-satani sect that even the Pope disagrees with.

Exactly the same as tRumputin - only sadistic, gratuitously indulgent terroristic power & monies are all they lust after, joined up with their partners in terrorism - terrorists putin of russia-orban viktor of hungary-xi of china etc..... Of course that that makes them the most dangerous terroristic mafia in the world - 'cause they've grabbed the mightiest power in the world i.e. American Government - something the good Americans SHOULD'VE NEVER EVER ALLOWED!!

I swear with my life that I do NOT use the word "terrorist(s)" lightly, I'm not a paranoid sort of person. But when I know from my real life experience what is what, then, I must say it so that others who had much easier lives than I did - can finally and at long last understand the urgency and horror this situation since nov. 6th 2024 on has become!!

Now, even those who called this nov 5th 2024 election "fair and free" (such as KA Jessica Burbank) are seeing the error of that complacency!! Please, try to read this until the end with the full understanding and spread this awareness!! https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/why-we-should-still-audit-the-2024-presidential-election

1. The time that anything can be and should be done about it was from nov 6th 2024-jan 20ieth 2025 and I hope I'm wrong that that timeframe is/was the only one. I guess Jessica Burbank should know more about it.

So happy to see we have many more warriors working together to throw the truth back at the so-called president, plus spreading the truth of what’s really happening to our democracy. I’m 85 and first voted for John F. Kennedy in. 1961, and am so shocked about the chaos created by the degenerates. I live in a senior community where rent is exhortantly expensive, $2900 for a one bedroom unit and am squeezed beyond belief paying for all my expenses, a car, Rx’s, and just not buying anything unless it’s necessary. I spread the news about your channel, however, most of the seniors here are trumpers, unbelievable but true.

I live in a senior mobile home community where we are shareholders in the park, and hire our management and maintenance team. Our lot rent is $160-180 a month and our homes go up in value, even though most of them are 80s and 90s built homes. It is Tucson, AZ and probably the best housing option for seniors. The cost of the home is a bit more, but is worth it. look up https://www.comanchewellsmhp.com/ Would always welcome other blues in our park! Electricity, water, trash and sewer are all come into the park and metered to our homes, so that usually doesn't add more than a total of 200$. Two pools, jacuzzi, dog park, many extras.

I think two incredibly talented and smart couple are Driftglass and Bluegal, podcasting from the heartland of Springfield, IL - Proleftpod. They would be great on the show. I am glad to see so many of our progressive voices starting to have each other on. This is exactly what we need to do to expand the reach of our progressive viewpoints and expose the GOP for the anti-Americans that they are and have (frankly) always been. Most good law that has come out of our government were bills by Democrats. Once upon a time the Republicans still had progressives within the party. But not for decades now. They sold their souls.

Hi from Chicago (suburbs). For those who feel discouraged, I see and feel you. It is fun to make fun of the toadies of 47, but it can feel discouraging to see the shit going on. I have seen on the news that there have been protests and marches throughout the area. For those who feel discouraged, I think that a combo of watching these kinds of shows and demonstrating resistance can at least feel more helpful.

Our TRUTH-telling in how we live and care for our family, friends, furbabies, gaia. It's in the grassroots of how we live our lives I believe that is welcoming and people want to CONNECT to that VIBE!. People will be drawn to MTN because it is AUTHENTIC and sewn together with diversity along with legal, education, JA NEWS, beauty and humor, IHIP "shero fierceness" blue dots in the red 🌊 .

I apologize for not knowing the names of the women talking.

But, we will not be here in two years. We will literally not exist as the free USA.

To everyone, Waiting it out is not an option. And tRump doesn’t plan to leave in 4 yrs. He’s said this. And now you say “he’s old and will ☠️”. But in an authoritarian government, power will move to the next dictator in line. And if Vance ☠️, it goes to the next dictator.

We’ll “never have to vote again.”

I feel it’s important that we speak about this out loud and stop pretending that it’s “only” 4 years. That sounds naïve.

I agree. The stupid DC democrats say dumbshit things like, in 2026 or we just wait til the midterms. It will be too late. Not sure what we can do because still too many Americans are living in alt-reality, won't listen, and frankly will likely blame the democrats for all their tribulations instead of understand....Our country will collapse. It could come back, but it will likely take 25 or more years, just like it took Chile to recover from the Chicago school of economics experiments that is going on right here now, and most Americans are still in the 'it can't happen here' and the 'oh folks have been crying about this since ...._____. My Aunt, who used to worry about Social Security being there for her (she died at age 62 and that was 30 years ago)...her worries were right, just a bit premature, We are living it.

MAGAT’s hoist ginormous flags to compensate for their lack of size between the legs. A normal size flag doesn’t mean you love your country any less…it simply means you’re not as much in your face.

MAGAT’s call people out who disagree with them as TDS…I’ve had that one time. I told the person that TDS doesn’t apply because I was never a Donny fan in the first place.

Muskrat needs to be deported. He lied on his immigration status. He’s sent people in to raid US Treasury. These people aren’t vetted. I have no idea what the fuck Muskrat wants with my PRIVATE PRIVILEGED information. Or anyone else’s. Muskrat isn’t American and should t have access to anything. I don’t care how much money he has. He never asked me if he could have access…he just went for it. The idea being it’s easier to ask forgiveness after the fact. Muskrat should have a cell waiting for him at Gitmo and Donny should have a cell waiting at Rykers for him.

As for the kids that are doing Muskrat’s dirty work…they can go live at a step down unit from Rykers. And if there’s any question about their nationality…Gitmo for them.
