IHIP News: SNOWFLAKE BILLIONAIRE Knicks Owner TRIGGERED By NYC's Love For Zohran Mamdani?!

All right. The book about Trump, Maggie. Haberman Swan, has come out. And you. guys, I predicted like a year and a half. ago. I go, you know he's all fluffed up. in bed. You know he's throwing wrappers. all over the room, leaving it a goddamn. mess for the White House housekeepers to. come clean up. And I'll be damned, pop. this up. A nighttime snacker, the president would. frequently leave an array of empty. potato chip bags, Starbucks wrappers,

and ice cream cartons in the trash or. on the floor, the authors wrote. The. staff had to begin monitoring the trash. after it was discovered he was sometimes. throwing out White House sterling silver. utensils. And so. this guy is such a train wreck. He is. like literally the every worst. stereotype of an American, the fast. food, messy, loud, thinks they're better.

than everybody, thinks they're right. He. is it. He is all of our worst impulses. in this cartoon character that is now. put on the national stage. And those of. us that are kind of aware of American. arrogance, that try to, you know, mitigate that. Here he is, just throwing his [ __ ] all. around the White House. >> I'm so mad at you because when I was. reading this article, you've been saying. forever about him eating in bed and what. must his sheets look like. And so I got.

this vision of his nasty, greasy sheets. >> [snorts]. >> And then I thought, well, obviously. based on his diet, I can see why the. White House doctor said his cholesterol. is spectacular and his health is. excellent. But I mean, what a pig that. people have to go around you and pick up. your trash off the floor? That's just so. disrespectful, in my opinion. >> Imagine the racism if it was reported. that Michelle and Barack Obama threw. trash on the floor for people to pick.

up. Fox News would do breaking news. It. would be like breaking news chirons. Obama has thrown trash on the floor, expects White House staff. He doesn't. have the decency. They'd go bananas. Okay. >> [snorts]. >> Here's the most one of the more. important components of what we're. dealing with. We know that Republican. Congress and Republican Senators have no. courage, no balls, don't believe in. anything and are pathological liars. They have proven that with their support.

for Trump. We know that the Supreme. Court is 100% in the tank for oligarchs. And these oligarchs. bend the knee to Trump. And bending the knee to Trump is just. the kiss of death because pop this up. The book reveals Meta CEO Mark. Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. sought to ingratiate themselves to Trump. after the 2024 election, who in return.

mocked them behind their backs per the. new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan. Swan. And it goes on to say that Jeff. Bezos bashes the Washington Post. Imagine that. All of the people the. Washington was He believes in. getting Donald Trump's support so much. Why? Because he wants these blue his. blue rocket thing, Blue Origin. He wanted that contract and Trump ended. up giving it to Elon Musk. But all of. these guys, who we give all of our money.

to, Zuckerberg, Bezos, they don't care about their. customer base. It's just not enough money for them. It's just not enough. It's not enough. money. It's not enough power. These men. have no decency, no integrity to say, "You know what? I'm. rich as [ __ ] I've got a bank account. that could choke a bull. I'm not going to go kiss ass to this. guy, this guy that wants to dismantle. democracy that. incited an insurrection. I'm not going. to do that. They race to him, and then. what happens when they do it? He.

completely dicks them over and makes fun. of them behind their backs. Because it. is. in Trump's defense in ridiculing them, it is ridicule-worthy. It is. ridicule-worthy that somebody who has. had. won at capitalism would bend the knee. and kiss Donald Trump's ass. >> Well, I don't think there's anything. Trump loves more than holding power over. people that are richer than he is, because he is so obsessed with money. But what I went to when I saw this, I. was like, here's Mark Zuckerberg saying.

that he felt so neutered. And then what does he do with all this. freedom? He goes and bends over for. Donald Trump? So you weren't neutered. before, but now you're neutered? Shut. the [ __ ] up, you piece of [ __ ] [ __ ]. crybaby. >> I mean, saying that like having to own a. company during, you know, Biden's. administration, which Biden had one of. the most diverse. White House staffs, cabinet,

administration in the history of the. country. And then he goes and does this. It's. such a such a such a good point. All. right. I want to move along to something. that I think is really incredibly. important. Obviously, politics and pop culture are completely. fused now. Everything is pretty much. political because we have a fascist. regime that is attacking women, attacking gay people, attacking black. people, attacking immigrants, attacking.

minorities, attacking freedom, free. expression, free speech, everything. Every Every little component of our. culture is under attack. So anybody who. looks at you and says, "Oh, I don't want. to talk about politics, or I don't dive. into that.". They're just privileged, and they have. the luxury of not having to care about. it. A lot of us don't have that luxury. And. four events have taken place over the. past week, I think are incredibly. important. Number one, the New York Knicks won the championship.

and New Yorkers spontaneously came out. into the street. All walks of life, rich, poor, white, black, brown, American, not American, all celebrated together. Pure joy. Jon. Stewart was at a watch party in the. street. Big celebrity, very successful. guy was in the street watching the game. The reason why this is political is. because James Dolan, the owner of the. New York Knicks, invited Donald Trump to.

game three. Nobody wanted him there. He. canceled the um. celebrations around Madison Square. Garden. and the Knicks lost. And all over New. York was [ __ ] Donald Trump, blah, blah. And [snorts]. James Dolan. inherited the New York Knicks. He. inherited Madison Square Garden. Madison. Square Garden pays zero zero dollars in. property taxes. He's paranoid party of. one. He has facial identification as you.

walk into Madison Square Garden. If. you've ever hurt his feelings, your face. is programmed in it. If you've ever sued. him or worked for a law firm that sued. him, he kicks you out. And so here he is with um. Trump. at the Knicks game. All right, so there they are in the. suite, okay? Of course Trump's asleep. >> [laughter]. >> So the second cultural event that took. place.

is the victory party in New York where. on stage at City Hall in New York City, it was a meritocracy. You had Zoran Momdani when he first ran. for political office, started polling at. 1%. >> [snorts]. >> He had uh. all forces against him. The Democratic. Party was against him. Corporate donors. on both sides were against him. People. like James Dolan were against him. He. didn't take any PAC money. Um he built.

from the ground up a campaign and he won. because he fought for everybody. James Dolan has never earned anything in. his life. He wouldn't survive in a. meritocracy for 2.5 seconds because here. he is on the stage. where everybody in New York is. celebrating and this guy didn't do. anything, but he was just the product of. his dad's sex life. That's it. And he's on stage. earning absolutely nothing, treating the.

mayor of New York City, whether you. agree with him politically or not, this. is how he behaves the second he's. outside of the MAGA bubble. Play the. clip. For the people who are listening. >> [cheering]. [screaming]. >> James Dolan, the entire speech that. Zohran gave was slouched over. Uh. you could tell he wanted nothing to do. with Zohran and then after the speech. gets on stage and says, "I don't need. your vote.". Um.

it we don't need to go through the. history of the team. Well, then. why the hell were you down there? Yeah, you go through the history of the team. That's what a good politician does. But when he was sitting there, starkly. contrasted to somebody who had to earn. everything, bootstrap it, like Republicans like. talking about. the American dream, like Republicans. like talking about, he realizes he's. nothing. He's nothing unless he's bubble wrapped. in Mar-a-Lago. So, at Mar-a-Lago you. have all these mediocre white men,

ping armed white men that have never. accomplished anything, that have failed. forward, failed forward, failed forward. And the minute they get outside of that. protective white bubble. and they're on a stage of. multiculturalism, of black athletes that against all odds. in a country completely, explicitly. rigged against them, came through their neighborhoods, played. AAU basketball, were able to ascend to. be New York Knicks.

when there's so much talent out there. And the same with with Zoran Mom Donny. and all the people in the audience. James Dolan showed us exactly who he. was. Jealous, bitter, inferior. He couldn't even be gracious when the. mayor gave him his city key. He couldn't. even look into the camera. Pop this up. So, for those listening, here's Zoran, polite, the gentleman.

He grabs the key, turns away, doesn't. take the picture. And then his son, Quentin, does the exact same thing. Conversely, the next players, most of whom are in. their 20s, went up and grabbed Zoran's. hand, shook it, hugged him, turned to. the cameras and smiled really big. But James Dolan, who I don't know, is he. 70 or something? You can't fix this. And here's the guy. sitting on that stage who has billions. billions and billions and billions and. billions of dollars. Unimaginable.

wealth, unimaginable access. And he's still broken. He's still sitting there completely. broken. Cannot. be gracious. for the city and his fan base that. continues to make him a. multi-billionaire. It's just staggering what happens to. these men when you take them out of. their protected white privilege bubble. and put them on a stage of a. meritocracy. I mean, he wilted.

like a snowflake. Bitter, angry, mad. that Zoran got all the praise that he. got. And guess what happened with. James Dolan? Hardly any applause and. audible boos, Angie. What's your take on that? >> Well, you know, here's the thing. I. watch a lot of sports stuff and everyone. for years has said the reason the Knicks. have been good recently where they have. been bad before is because Dolan was. paying attention to building the sphere. and he was outside of the Knicks. He.

wasn't meddling in that. And that. because he wasn't meddling, they got. better. But what strikes me with this? Bezos, Zuckerberg, Dolan. And then you. hear about Peter Thiel, he's cut run to. Argentina. Then you see all these. reports of billionaires in Silicon. Valley. They're building all of these. bunkers. Trump wants a bunker. Ivana. wants to make an island of former Soviet. Soviet tunnels in Albania for bunkers. It's because if they if it's almost like.

a gremlin, like if water touches them, they melt. So they have to create their. own reality where the things they. believe about themselves are true. And because they have to be underground. in bunkers because we may not have as. much money as they do, but we outweigh. them by far. And I believe there's more. ingenuity, ambition, intelligence, creativity outside of those bunker. bubbles than there are inside and that's.

terrifying for them. Full stop. >> Yeah, and he was incredibly exposed. He. was exposed on a stage of people who. earned on their own merit, their own. hard work, their own grit. Inherited zero dollars. True American dream. And here's this. nepo baby sitting there that will always. and forever be broken. That will forever. be a stain on the very organization. that has continued to make him billions. of dollars. So, I want to juxtapose this.

with you all. On the same day that we. had this parade, there was also the. opening of the Obama library. And before we get to any footage from. the Obama library, I told you there were. four events that rolled out over this. past week, national events. The Knicks. winning, Trump's birthday party, the Knicks parade, and the Obama. uh. library opening. Okay? As an American, you're going to find.

yourself in two categories. You're going. to watch the Knicks parade and see all. of the people, and show the crowds here, Kylie. Here are the huge crowds at the. Knicks rally. You're going to see that, and you're going to be like, I want to. be there. Look at the black people, look. at the white people, all different. shades, celebrities, poor people, rich. people, all kinds of people celebrating, cooperating, and unity. Nobody's left. behind. This city is for everybody.

Mom Don is tan, and woke sharia for all, right? Right? So, it's like, oh my god, incredible. Remember a few nights ago, the UFC. fight, right? On the White House lawn, the desecration of the White House lawn. And this UFC fighter says this about a. former first lady who is drop dead. gorgeous, um Ivy League educated, earned where she is based on her own. merit.

Something James Dolan, Donald Trump. could never, ever do. And on the White House lawn, where she. was the most sophisticated, classy, intelligent, breath of fresh air of a. first lady, while Fox News and all of them MAGA. Christians hurled racism, both veiled. and thinly veiled at her 24/7 365. And that hasn't been enough lately, the. racism. So now they've thrown.

transphobia at her. >> Mhm. >> I hate giving this space, but it's. important for this episode and context. you understand who MAGA is and what they. do when they have the cameras, the. national television cameras on them. Play the clip. >> And lastly, MICHELLE OBAMA IS A MAN. AM I RIGHT, AMERICA? >> ALL RIGHT. SO LISTENER, you fall into.

two two categories as an American. That's your America right there where. you see the White House and the green. algae pond, Donald Trump throwing all of. his, you know, filet of fish, Starbucks. wrappers all over bedroom fluffed up. with his little sausage fingers, you. know, psycho meming [ __ ] all night to. own the libs. That hits something in you. and that hits really hard and you think, "Yeah, [ __ ] yeah. He called Michelle Obama a man. I knew. it. [ __ ] yeah. [ __ ] Michelle Obama. [ __ ]. Barack Obama." You're either that kind.

of an American. or. you're the type of American that sees. the spontaneous celebration and embrace. of multiculturalism. that wants to create a space for a. leveled playing field for all Americans. And you have maybe political. disagreements with somebody, but when. you hear. a former first lady. take the national stage and honor her. husband, who was an incredible man, whether you agree with him politically.

or not, he's an incredible man, an. incredible father, an incredible. American. And she makes speeches like this. Play. the clip. >> It has been an honor to be by your side. You have made me a better person and. have given us all an example that we. should strive to emulate. And I hope you know. Oh, there is truly no higher calling. than that.

>> I mean, that just makes my eyes are all. watery. >> I'm teared up on my end. >> [laughter]. >> Because it. the Obamas. represent something that so many of us. on the left, whether you're uh you know, a centrist Democrat all the way to a. leftist, we are going to all have to come. together to defeat these people. that that cheer and applaud what. happened in the White House lawn. And. anybody that's trying to Monday morning.

quarterback back and say, "I didn't like. him saying that." You have no. credibility because the man who hosted. the event. >> Right. >> posts pictures of the Obamas'. representative as apes. And if you want. to say, "Well, I disapproved of that, too." Prior to that, he's the one who. started all the racist birtherism. on Obama. See, you don't get to all of a. sudden, 11 12 years in, say, "Oh, I don't like that." You have. established that you're a racist. You've. established you support racism.

You're just not liking it so much right. now because Trump's half dead. And you. know that this dementia duck is about to. expire. >> [snorts]. >> And as you saw in downtown New York, Mom. Donny, Alicia Keys on stage singing. At. the uh Obama Library Center, we had John. Legend, Bruce Springsteen, Christina. Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Marc Anthony, and so many more. All of these. celebrities were in attendance. Pams, and guess what they wore? Tan suits. Loved it.

>> [laughter]. >> And I just think this is an incredible. cultural moment, listener. MAGA owns all of the media. Everything. that we even the social even the. platform that we're on right now. are mega supporters who donated to him. And. they fake the support for this man. They. have to fake it through a system of bot. farms. But you can look at the crowds.

And you can look at where you want to. be. And when you see. the Obamas on stage and everybody's. supporting him, that part of America is. still here. There are those of us. that actively fight against anti-black. racism, that actively fight. for the LGBTQ+ community and will not. will not under any circumstances throw. trans people under the bus for a cheap.

political win, that will fight for every. single person. That's why. that's why the James Dolans of the world. are so mad. Because they. will never be successful on their own. merit. And they are terrified of being. exposed. And this whole group of inferior, mediocre at best. men. are clinging on to this power. And I.

just want to say this. Once we get past this, we need to. completely reimagine. America. Take all of the great ideals that. Michelle and Barack Obama spoke about. But does James Dolan need to own a. basketball team? That he earns billions of dollars for? And then treats his players like [ __ ]. and says you have to go to a racist. president's White House that just. dismantled. the Voting Rights Act and celebrates.

that, that's trying to rig elections so. that black people and their interests. are gerry married gerrymandered with a. bunch of maggot people and you have to. go. there. Shouldn't these be publicly owned? Do. the Democratic Socialists have a point? Shouldn't the city. own these teams collectively instead of. these. a racist owner like James Dolan? Pumps, what's your take on that? >> [snorts]. >> Well, when you said that, it reminds me. of an NFL football team, the Green Bay.

Packers. They are owned by the. stockholders of Green Bay and. don't have to be from there, but if. you're a fan, you can buy stock and own. your team. And so, the argument against. it would be, well, what would we do? Well, the Green Bay Packers are a highly. successful franchise. And then, it when. you apply it to like, here's a man. inherited all this [ __ ] money. He. owns all these teams, but he he's. exclusive. He can't walk by Radio City. Music Hall or he's going to kick you.

out. Going to kick you out of the. garden. You know, just a piece of [ __ ]. And then, he. he feel he's waited 53 years. to be a champion, but he can't enjoy it because he's so. rotten inside and he's so mad that the. mayor of New York City is popular and. that he might have to pay a tax. After. >> [snorts]. >> I'm sure Radio City Music Hall doesn't. pay any taxes. I don't know that, but. MSG does not pay taxes. So, this.

[snorts] is a guy who has waited 53. years. He's gotten everything he wanted. and he gets up on that stage and he's. [ __ ] mad. Then, I contrast that with. what was going on at the Obama library. and I got teared up several times. watching that because I was like, this. is what it's supposed to be. People are supposed to look at their. president and say, I feel safe. He he's. making decisions that were going to help.

me. Not always right, maybe not today, but he's going to protect me. And I think everybody across the board, you're even seeing Republicans say, "Americans don't feel safe with the. Donald Trump at the controls." And. that's just based on economy, inflation, jobs, wages. In my mind, you know, it's we're killing. people. He has He's got the nuclear codes. So, I. It's such a contrast. I'm so glad you. bring it up because. I really was like tearful watching the.

Obama thing because it it we lost so. much. >> We have, and it's important for. everybody to look at those split. screens. And what side are you on? Do. you want to live in a beautiful. multicultural democracy that advocates. for everybody, or do you want to live in. James Dolan and Donald Trump's. America? Do you want to live in a in a. system that's completely rigged for. unqualified, mediocre, insecure white. men? That the only way they get off is.

by beating down other people, and it. still won't fix them. Billions of. dollars won't fix these people. They're. still inherently and fundamentally. broken. There's never been a class of. billionaires. Well, I mean, I think this is the first. class of billionaires, but that are such. a walking, talking advertisement against. the existence of billionaires than these. people. All right. Please do me a favor and pre-order my. book. It helps me more than you know. It. comes out in October, but pre-sales are. super important. It's linked right below.

in the show notes. It will come out. right before the midterms. It's called. Not Today, Fascist. Today, the fascist. I'm dedicating this to is James Dolan. James Dolan who got on national. television yesterday and made a complete. ass of himself. All right, that's all we. have. Like, subscribe, comment. We will. be back later with more news.
