Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04J.D. Vance is a stone-cold sociopath, in my opinion. This man has no soul. We know he's changed his name three times. He's changed his religion. He's changed his outlook on Trump, who used to be Hitler. Now he's the vice president. This is what he says when asked about the death of an American citizen at the hands of ICE who were wearing masks in the streets of Minneapolis. I had to apologize to the family of Alex Breddy. For what? For, you know, labeling him in a sash and with ill intent. Well, again, I just described to you what I said about Alex Breddy, which is that he's a guy who showed up with ill intent to an ICE protest.
0:43But if it is determined that his civil rights were violated by this FBI investigation, will you apologize? So if this hypothetical leads to that hypothetical leads to another hypothetical, will I do a thing? And again, like I said, we're going to let the investigation... What a dick. This is a man that sat there and browbeat the leader of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, because he didn't say fucking thank you. and he cannot apologize to him. And there's a couple of things I want to point out. When he was calling him names, domestic terrorists and all that, that was straight from Stephen Miller's mouth.
1:20I mean, I thought he and Stephen Miller wouldn't like each other, but their TikTok, the game is locked. And everybody knows that Stephen Miller is just a fucking Nazi through and through. And then on the civil rights investigation, he's like, well, we'll let the investigations play out. They're not opening a civil rights investigation into the murder of Alex Preddy because the DOJ shut it down. That's why prosecutors have left in mass from this DOJ and they're advertising on fucking social media that they need attorneys loyal to Donald Trump. But this to me, I'm like, you have all this media training.
1:58You think you're so, you know, charismatic and all that shit. That to me was just a window into his soulless body. It didn't surprise me in the least bit. This is a man who will not stand up for his in-laws, who immigrated to the country, who are Indian descent, his wife, who is a first generation American. He says things like people want to know that their neighbors speak the same language that they do? Well, what, what, how does that affect his, the grandparents of his children? This is a man that, that surprised me zero. This administration has locked in on entertainment for the rubes for the cult is watch us lock up and torture Brown and black people.
2:45And also watch us kill liberals, the enemy from within. I would have been shocked if he would have answered it any way but that. That's what would have been more surprising to me. This is not a shock to me. This is the way J.D. Vance has behaved ever since he went to Peter Thiel's gay boot camp in Silicon Valley and was bought and paid for. J.D. Vance is America's top prostitute in charge. The right wing had a stage five meltdown when I appropriately pointed out on MSNBC that he would not stand up for his wife and he would not stand up for his kids. Why do you think he's going to stand up for you?
3:26This was months ago. And here we have a video where he is not going to stand up for Americans. This surprises me zero. This is intentional. The reckless disregard for human life bragged about in a flagrant prickish way. We're going to see more and more and more and more and more. This is their script and they're sticking to it. Well, and no one's ever going to be held accountable. There is no accountability in this administration. And I want to also say, I watched this entire interview and read the transcript online. He also says in this interview, and I couldn't get a clip of it put together because it was copyrighted.
4:03But he says, you know, there's just a cabal of elite pedophiles in the United States just in that ruling class. I mean, and Donald Trump, he's not a part of that circle. And I'm just like, does he think that people listening to that are so stupid? He's in the Epstein files 5 ,300 times. Why would you say? I'll tell you why. Okay. Lay it on me. Fox News. If you go to foxnews.com, which I try to once or twice a day, you cannot find anything. I have to, because I need to know what is on the front page of their websites. I need to know who are they speaking to. I guarantee you that MAGA people in your lives have no idea the extent that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.
4:52It's not that they don't care. They don't know. It's not reported. It's providing cover for them. So that's why he is able to say this cabal of pedophiles, because that's been in the public realm for 10 years. But most of the people that watch Fox still believe it is some non-existent basement in Washington, DC at Comet Pizza. Yeah, you're right. But here's the thing. And I know that people don't do this, but if there was pedophile ring and they're not talking about it, wouldn't you Google it? Wouldn't you just have a, like, is the government involved in this? Just like a question. And it's like something you say all the time.
5:35We have to have agency. We have to have agency over ourselves and our news and not just be fed a bunch of bullshit. And then in this NBC interview, when Trump is asked about the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Preddy, here's what he says. For the shooting of Renee Good, you said ICE made some mistakes. What were the mistakes? Well, look, I'm not happy with the two incidents. It's not, you know, it's both of them, Not one or the other. He was not an angel and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes from back. OK. That's enough. So now the standard for murder in the United States of America is he is not an angel.
6:20She is not an angel. Like, why would anybody take that as a justification for fucking murder? first of all it's not true number one he's long but to say well it was i don't like it but they weren't angels so it was okay it's like victim shaming 101 yeah but this is this is the point this is the propaganda that this is what we all have to fasten our seat belts and understand this is a character assassination called him domestic terrorist he knows he has some problems here he was very angry, as was his wife, because this news cycle usurped her rollout of her documentary, because that's all these people care about.
7:05The only time that Trump even remotely showed any sort of empathy for either of these victims, and I want to acknowledge to all the Black and brown people watching our channel that I apologize that we're only talking about these two, because there are so many other people that have been abused and killed by ICE besides these two Caucasian Americans, but set that aside, is that Rene Good's dad was a big MAGA guy. And so that kind of hurt him a little bit because he didn't want to hurt somebody that loved him so much. Everything is transactional with these people. The demonization of these people, they have to promote the narrative.
7:41There is an enemy from within. The enemy from within is that these people are not angels. This is a campaign promise delivered. Him killing, and you guys need to understand this. His administration killing and executing people that are not doing anything wrong, that are exercising their rights is a campaign promise delivered. He promised to root out the enemy from within. His lie social every holiday, happy, Merry Christmas to everybody, except for the liberal scum, you know, that we will eradicate from our nation, all of this stuff. these are campaign promises delivered. These murders are delivered promises to his base.
8:25They do not care when people are executed by the federal government. These are the same don't tread on me people. These are the same people that lose their minds whenever there's a Democrat on the campaign trail. They're going to take our guns and they're going to have a strong federal government. They don't believe in anything, these people. Owning the libs and being racist, that's what it boils down to. Yeah, you're right. And I just want to remind everybody that we were talking yesterday on an episode about how Trump starts telegraphing the messages. And we were talking about in 2019, he started talking about the 2020 election.
9:04Well, I mean, I'm not going to accept the votes if they weren't real, which i.e. means I'm not going to accept the vote. I'm not going to accept the results of an election unless I win. He telegraphed that for a year. It was a plan that he made with his crazy ass sycophants. And then on January 6th, he attempted a coup of the federal government. So in this NBC interview, this is what he says about the upcoming elections. What's the results of the midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress? I will if the elections are honest. Look, I want the last one that wants to complain. I just want I just had the last one.
9:42One of the greatest elections you will agree ever won all seven swing states won 84 percent of the counties in america that's why the map is all red we just had a great election uh i believe there was cheating i think i think it was cheating well speaking of county what are you doing in full county speaking of counties what is happening this is just a consistent uh confusion for republican voters when they see electoral maps They say, oh, my God, look at all the red. Nobody fucking lives there. There's no people there. Land doesn't vote. And the problem here and that we really must talk about is that the reason, in my opinion, in 2024, the base didn't come out to vote is because we have a underreported battle in the Democratic Party that has started since 2016 with corporate Dems versus progressive Dems.
10:43And we have to address this. I have an episode that's going to come out later about how much corporate Dems provide cover to right wing narratives. And it's really disturbing. And so when you don't have a political party that can drive out their base, fascism just grows and grows and grows. And we have to sit here and watch that obese, unhealthy, lying, disgusting man lie to us all the time. Because in the Venn diagram that is corporate politics, there is a huge overlap between MAGA and corporate Dems. And we have to understand that. No, I completely agree. All right, please like this video and subscribe to our channel and we will be back with more news.
