IHIP News: Red States are TURNING ON Trump! His Plans BACKFIRE As DEMS Plan to TAKEOVER the Senate!

Today on IHIP, we have a special guest. We have Jasmine Thomas who is from. Oklahoma and she is running for US. Senate against Senator Booster Box Mark. Wayne Mullen. And we are so hopeful that. your candidacy your candidacy will take. off. And so tell tell us why you're. running in Oklahoma. Why are you brave. enough as a young female to go against. such a patriarchal nut job in Mark Wayne. Mullen? So, I have such a diverse background.

that I feel like I represent just about. everyone that's in Oklahoma. We have not. had the representation in Oklahoma where. that comes from, uh, being a woman, being a person of color, or just being a. just overall Oklahoma. Um, with my. diverse background, cuz I'm black, white, Native American, I'm Chickasaw, I'm also a woman. I would be the first. woman, but also the first person of.

color to ever hold this seat since. statehood has even been enacted. And. with that being said, the bravery comes. from just, I don't know, just showing up. and just saying, "Hey, we we need this. representation. We need this diversity. We need to be shown in a better light. than what Mr. And I call him mediocre. white man MWM cuz uh Mark Wayne Mullen. >> it definitely tracks.

>> I mean I mean he's tried to fist fight. people on the floor of the Senate. Come. on, grow up. Act like a real person. We. don't have to. We all know that you have. to stand on a booster box. We all know. that you don't feel good about yourself, but you don't have to show it in such a. spectacular f fashion on the floor of. the Senate. It's it's absolutely and now. he's running around saying Donald Trump. isn't a racist despite every single. indicator to the contrary because he is. a white male is an Indian and he thinks.

Trump's not a racist. I'm like. You're not getting it. You're part of. the problem. And I hope that Oklahoma. will support you and diversity. this university thing where this girl. responds to an essay with her. interpretation of the Bible doesn't in. doesn't cite any science she does the. assignment completely wrong then turning. point USA they go after the trans. professor the University of Oklahoma. fumbles it to the nth degree I've.

graduated both undergrad and law school. from the University of Oklahoma I am. completely devastated by this because. institutions of higher learning. especially secular ones. >> should not fall prey to this. It is not. freedom of expression. It's answering. correctly and the requirements of the. assignment. So, how do you speak to. that? >> So, I think that it was a reach that she. even said that it was religious.

persecution first and foremost because. there's nothing there that screams. religious persecution. And she not only. if this was a religious persecution then. we could also flip that narrative and. say that this was a religious. persecution for this professor because. this professor is trans and this and the. professor's name is Mel. So, I want to. address them as their name. And uh Mel. was attacked on so many levels for this. And I feel like it was a setup in so.

many ways because. >> her mother, come to find out, I found. this out, is her mother is actually an. attorney herself that practices in was. it Arkansas? And. >> I think Missouri. >> Missouri. Missouri. I apologize for the. misinformation. Um but yes, she. practices in Missouri. and she was. actually one of the attorneys that went. and got one of the January 6ers out of. jail at the time. So, with that being. said, I felt like this was a setup for a. perfect expose, I would say, and that's.

lack of better words, but it was very. tasteless. It was tactless, and it was. one of the worst ways of publicity that. someone could have ever tried to do. and. it took a livelihood away from someone. who this this is their livelihood. It. took it away and it's it's very. devastating and I just really feel like. this was a grab and then turning point. and then her turning to turning point, >> right? >> Like it it screams that they were trying.

to get some type of reaction out of the. masses. Um because they know that. they're losing right now. They know that. they're losing ground when it comes to. their um congressional Senate, especially coming into the 2026. midterms. People aren't buying what. they're selling anymore. So, they got to. find ways to, I don't know, make a big. deal out of nothing. And I'm hoping that. the professor actually gets the justice.

that they deserve because yes, because. at the end of the day, all of this was a. it was a bad job. And one thing that I. had mentioned yesterday when I was. speaking to my supporters is that. one zero is not going to fail you out of. a course. one zero is not the issue. >> She could have gone to the professor and. said, "Help, help me understand why I. didn't do the assignment correctly." If. she was earnestly trying to get a good. grade, there were a million avenues she.

could have taken. College professors. typically will go over it with you, allow you a redo, but I'm with you. It. sounds like a setup from day one. University of Oklahoma failed. They. failed that professor. They failed every. student in their student body. They. failed the reputation of the university. going forward. And one thing that stuck. out to me is of course Kevin Stit, the. lame duck who could not come out against. Ryan Walters with all the corruption and. all of the idiocy going on in the.

Department of Education under his reign. Couldn't go come out against him, but he. comes out in support of this girl. And. as an elected official in Oklahoma where. Christian nationalism is so prevalent, how do you maintain a secular government. when you have this clamoring for. religion and government to be melded. together? >> Making sure that we always maintain the. separation of church and state because. that's really all this is. It's really. them implementing their religious. beliefs into everyday people's lives.

that's not practicing what they. practice. So, with that being said, that's one thing that I'm going to. uphold within our federal government. because that's what I will ultimately. represent, right? And making sure that. we always practice discernment when it. comes to what needs to be addressed and. what doesn't. Because Stit just. recently, not too long ago, had just. came out and said that homelessness. wasn't his problem. It was never his. problem. That that's the nonprofits, mind you. the n the nonprofits are.

having to basically uh scoundrel up or. scr up change, get all these donations. in order for them to be able to even. operate. And so him saying that was. very, let me find the word to use because I'm. trying to be, like I said, as tasteful. as possible. I'm trying to be because I. can say so many just bad words right. now, but that's out of touch with. reality and what his job is. So by her. going to stit and him just being o.

openly honest about this and actually. giving his two cents on this, it's like. do you even know what your role in our. government, our local government even. is? Do you even know what your job is? Because you haven't been doing that. You. have not been doing things for the. Oklahomaans. You've been doing it for a. small few and not not the diverse. community as a whole. So, who are you. working for? Are you working for us? Are.

you working for them? Because if you're. working for them, they need to start. paying you instead of my tax dollars. paying you or our tax dollars paying. you. Senator Booster Box is super. proTrump. He is out and proud about he. is full transparency. He wants to. protect children. He's the party of. family values. Yet in the Epstein stuff, he he ran so much cover for Trump. He. voted yes on the big beautiful bill. In. your constituency,

the increase premiums. Have you been. hearing about that from your. constituents on the ACA and the cuts to. Medicaid and SNAP? >> Yes, I have. And they have been very. vocal about it. Uh and they're not. they're unapologetic with what they're. saying. So Oklahoma has one of the. lowest turnouts when it comes to the. insured. So there's not very many people. that are insured and if they are, they. have been utilizing the ACA and it's. been keeping their premiums in their. health care in line. But we also are.

49th in healthcare as well. >> And. by him actually voting against his own. constituents, that's still the question. as to who do you serve? who do you. represent? Because it's obviously not. the constituents that actually voted you. in. But they will always the the. supporters and the constituents across. the state will say, "Well, how am I. going to afford my insulin out?" Because. he had campaigned on lowering medication.

cost, but then backpedals and says, "I'm. I'm on whatever Trump is on." And if he. says that we don't need this, then. obviously we don't need this. And that's. not serving your community. The thing is. is that the jokes speak for themselves. when it comes to Mar. They do. >> They do. They really do. He's an. abomination. He really is. >> He really is. And that's not what And. I'm I'm not super religious myself. I. follow one, but it does not matter.

because I'm not going to project mine. onto my. >> You shouldn't have to. You should. Everybody should be free to do exactly. what they want. Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, non everybody should be free. and they're trying to force everybody. into this Christian nationalist style. Are you seeing people that because. Oklahoma's overtly religious, a lot of. people believe in Christian nationalism. that live there, are you seeing your. constituents come out and say, "We need. to separate government and church," or.

has that been kind of left to the side? >> No. Uh, and we're more what I've noticed. after the Christian nationalism. projection is that we're seeing a lot. more people come out and say, "Listen, like whatever our religion is, it's our. business, but also we don't want to take. away from someone else's." Now, do you. have your pro Trump, pro- whoever that's. still just pro- Jesus that doesn't think. that Jesus actually flipped tables,

>> right, >> for the for the blasphemy that's going. on right now. Yes, you still have those. that are coming out, but they're far few. in between. And it's more males than you. would ever imagine. I'm not seeing the. women actually come out and. a and and still be in support of this. Um because a lot of these women that are. still in support of Trump are going to. be your typical people who,

lack of better words, lack of better. words, >> submit to their husbands. >> Yes. Yes. But they also aren't housing. children. um especially with special. needs. I have a son that's autistic. So, when I'm out here talking about my. policies or I'm talking about my life or. I'm talking about how I'm wanting to. change things on a federal level and I. mention that I have a child with a. disability, the women that resonate with that,

they're just like, you know what, maybe, just maybe, I'm not being represented. Um, maybe if someone had, I don't know, to took the time out to actually come. talk to me or actually find out or. actually had something that was in. common with me, then I would be more. likely to stay on this side. But because. I have somebody who represents a certain. aspect of me, I'm having to lean over to. this side. But all in all, what I'm.

trying to say is is that I'm seeing more. of the women because they're resonating. with me because we have such close. stories. They're actually flipping their. their ideas and their their parties. because they're just like, I have a. child with a disability and now I'm. seeing that there's somebody that. actually gives a. that that cares. >> Damn. >> Yes. Okay, there we go. Thank you for. saying for me. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, and. and normally I do uh cuss, but I don't.

know what the limits are here. So, I. just try to, you know, >> there are no limits, but I understand we. we need dignity restored to politics. That's I'm not a politician. So, I. appreciate you trying to restore dignity. because you've got a big jump with Trump. and all his craziness. Uh Jasmine. Thomas, best of luck to you. Thank you. so much. Tell people that don't live in. Oklahoma how they can support your. candidacy. >> Yes. So, my name is Nila Jasmine Thomas. and I am running for the US Senate seat. against Markwin Mullen here in Oklahoma.

You can go follow me on any of my. socials, which would be jasmine for on. any social and also jasminefor.com, but you can also go to my act which is. um also in my website and on any social. platform and you can click the link in. the link tree and please donate what you. can because I'm a small grassroots. candidate. I don't take any pack. funding, no AP pack or corporate. So. everything that I do is and I get is.

from the community. So I'm sponsored by. the community. So that means that I will. directly listen to my constituents and. not be sold out to any other sources. So. please, please, please donate where you. can. Please, please, please support the. movement because this is a big one. It's. a historical one, but also it's doable. It's easy. we can get Oklahoma to if not. turn blue, at least turn purple,

>> right? Yeah. Oklahoma City's already. there. All right. Best of luck. Thank. you so much for being with me. >> Thank you. [Music].
