0:28Mom, can you tell me a story?

0:34All right, there are two idiots controlling the United States of America, an old one and a young one. And today we're going to talk about the young one, J.D. Vance, who is even more unlikable than the old one, which is shocking because the old one is just universally hated. Just everybody hates Donald Trump's guts. But J.D. Vance continues to say, hey, I'm going to be hated more. So here's J.D. Vance checking his phone for a call from Trump while giving a speech. Play the clip. I'm going to take some questions here, but it's funny. You know, sometimes people call. I got to make sure it's not the president.

1:12He's over at NATO right now. OK, it's not the president.

1:20What a submissive little twat. I mean, you're on stage. Have your phone controlled by an aide. If you miss a call from Donald Trump, don't worry about it. Reporting says he is a psycho dialer. He will call anybody. Everybody in Washington, D.C. has the guy's phone number. He sits on the phone nonstop gossiping. And he does all of this, J.D. Vance, while Trump is talking about the Islamic Republic of Japan and making a complete ass of himself at NATO. Well, here's the thing, too. J.D. Vance, he's trying to pull all the tricks that Trump gets away with and he doesn't. But I love this so much for him that he's going around on his fraud tour while we're having the problems with all of the no bid contracts in D.C.

2:11and all the money that's going to that. Now we have the, you know, fucked up Qatari jet that Trump took. Yet he's standing there with a straight face, which just tells you what you always say about him being a prostitute is true because he should be hiding under the pillow because he's so humiliated. So it's getting worse for JD Vance. You know, the tech oligarchs invested heavily in JD Vance. He was chosen because he is submissive. He is chosen because he is willing to prostitute himself out. He believes in nothing. He will change his opinion on a dime. When he thought it was beneficial for him to oppose Trump.

2:55He opposed Trump. He made statements like Trump is America's Hitler and on and on and on. You've all seen the record. You've all seen the clips. You've all seen the posts. And then when he realizes, oh, I can be vice president, he completely 180s. And this is a person who believes in nothing, has no core ethos at all, other than being a prostitute. So at a private billionaire summit, some of these just brainiac billionaires have finally come to the conclusion that they don't think our little smoky eye sociopath has what it takes for 2028. Pop this up. Axios is reporting GOP mega donor Ken Griffin says he'd back Rubio over Vance in 2028.

3:41Republican mega donor Ken Griffin said at a private conference Wednesday that he'd support Secretary of State Marco Rubio over Vice President Vance in a 2028 GOP presidential primary Axios has learned. A couple of things that I want to say. It is the most embarrassing thing on the planet to be a billionaire and then vote for a political party that is dismantling the system that allowed you to ascend to the financial success that you've had. I'm more interested in people that believe in human beings and that believe in this country. If you have billions of dollars, you should be fighting for your workers and the everyday man, but they don't.

4:29They will never be satiated. They will never be satisfied. And on top of all of that, Ken Griffin, now, you just now have figured out that J.D. Vance doesn't have what it takes. Did you not see the sofa fucking memes? Have you not seen the eyeliner? Have you not seen China to mercilessly, mercilessly humiliate this guy? Have you not seen an interview of him? It took you this long to figure it out. And I want to just one other point that I make all the time as a culture, we falsely attribute intelligence to people who have made a lot of money and culturally, culturally, that is wrong of us. What we need to attribute to them is their sociopathic ability to exploit the country, the government and human beings.

5:23That's what they're good at. They're good at that. I completely agree with you on this. And I think that it is somewhat hilarious. And to your point, these guys are slow learners. They are slow learners. You're so smart. You have all this money, but honestly, you're bad with people. You're bad at judging people. And it makes me wonder what Peter Thiel is thinking, what he is back channeling, because as we know, he and J.D. Vance are tight as ticks. So here's the thing. I just I will be so furious if all these Republicans are like, yeah, Marco Rubio. You know, he was the same person in the White House when all the dust settles.

6:11He has done nothing but fucking suck Trump's dick since he has been in the secretary of state position. He has done nothing to prove that he will stand up to Trump. And the fact that he is getting love and he's left out of this fucking mess infuriates me. You asked, I wonder what Peter Thiel thinks about all this. And I've been looking into this. And Peter Thiel, I thought, OK, he's packing his toys up and he's moving to Argentina. I think that's partially true. But Peter Thiel's plans are to have AI take over governments. And Argentina, as you know, has an incredibly corrupt president that the tech oligarchs in the United States invested heavily in.

6:55Scott Besant pushed for him to get this multibillion dollar bailout that the United States cannot afford right now, just driving up deficit, ignoring the needs of American people. So Peter Till has parked his ass in Argentina because he wants to launch AI government that will govern the people of Argentina. There's also reporting that Alex Karp is wanting to do the same in Gaza. So these tech oligarchs released this manifesto, which is somewhat backfiring. Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiart, our friend and historian, said she believes that as J.D. advance, the person they invested in is starting to spiral out.

7:37A lot of these tech oligarchs are kind of in a manic state right now. And I think that's what we're seeing. I think that Peter Thiel, it's not like he just packed his toys and ran away. He's machinating. He thinks he's above the law. They have these crazy, crazy ideas that computers and some CEO that's in charge of all of the computers are going to govern everybody. And here's why they think this. These people are assholes. Nobody wants to be around them. Could Peter Thiel put his name on a ballot and win a race? No, I don't even think he'd get a vote or two. I mean, he probably could because it's somehow rig up some way for a robot to vote for him.

8:19Do you think immigrant and welfare queen Elon Musk could put his name on a ballot and win a race like Zoran Mamdani did? No. These people have no riz, all hubris, and are exploiters extraordinaire. And J.D. Vance, it's getting so much worse for him. So Vance is also at the center of a new lawsuit. The Daily Beast is reporting the following. Pop this up. J.D. Vance's thin skin exposed in cat lady lawsuit. J.D. Vance's feelings got hurt by a cat lady's Instagram account. So he blocked her from entering one of his taxpayer funded events, a political influencer alleges. Amanda McGonigal, a self-confessed Vance troll, was barred from the vice president's May event in Bangor, Maine by Secret Service agents who told her, we know where you stand.

9:15Now she's suing the executive office of the president and the Secret Service for violating her First Amendment rights. Well, what did she post that's got their panties in a wad? Let's take a gander at that. Pop this up. Oh, so she's a really good troll. So she posts wanted unaliving of Pope Francis. And of course, everybody knows that J.D. Vance went to visit the former Pope and the next day he dropped dead. Now, I'm not saying that looking at J.D. Vance would kill you. But I'm saying that this happened, that if you're half alive, and I think we've got to get JD Vance around Donald Trump more.

9:55That's what I think. Listener, do you ever feel like there's something wrong with your body and you go to the doctor and they're like, you're fine, you're fine. And I'm like, God, I don't want to be a hypo, but I really feel like something's off. And you're really listening to your gut. I got to tell you, I had this problem and I signed up for Superpower.

And so, um, the post said, uh, wanted unaliving a Pope Francis crime wanted for the unforgivable celestial crime of retiring the Pope to his early eternal reward description talks like a politician, but acts like a clumsy Vatican janitor known for carrying a Bible purely for photo ops last seen nervously arguing the Pope trip.

11:28So what I have to say about this is not only are these people submissive and thin skinned, but this is just what you sign up for. I mean, right. I was off last week. I was sick. I moved and I thought it was going to be nice. I'm not going to get everybody trolling me on Instagram or online all the time. Well, some old clip of me resurrected and it's like, she's a crazy demon, liberal, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it just, it doesn't faze me. I don't care what these people think about me. I care about our country and I care about human beings and I care about social justice and I care about fighting fascism.

12:06These people care about this petty shit. It's a politics of pettiness. The entire MAGA movement is built on submissive men. These men want to lecture everybody about men and men feel like they've been neutered. You guys are the most submissive people on the planet. I mean, they should put on a masterclass for the Trad Wives Movement on how to be a submissive wife because they have nailed it. Nobody is more submissive in the United States of America than And this fleet of MAGA men right under the umbrella of the most incompetent, orange makeup wearing, morbidly obese, cankles out the wazoo, piece of shit, dipshit president that we have that puts on a masterclass about dementia.

12:55It is so unbelievable that every day pumps you and I have to get on here and talk about these fucking buffoons. Just it's too much. Oh, my gosh. that's definitely going to get clipped up on social media right there because that was that was perfectly set. They're coming for me. Always. Okay, but here's the thing. You look at, this has been going on the entirety of Trump's presidency. You see Republicans having town halls and their constituents are rightfully angry because they sit up there and they kiss Trump's ass and they fuck their constituents. And you know what their response to that is? it's not stand up for your constituents.

13:34It's quit holding town halls. And you've seen like in the cabinet, Trump only listens when they're talking about how great he is. So now J.D. Vance is adopting the same policy. We don't want to learn and grow and hear different perspectives. We want people that kiss our ass all the time, despite the fact that they're not living in reality. And it's just, it is up and down the party. The Republican Party has adopted the stance of, if you're not sucking my dick, I don't want to hear from you. Yeah. And like, who's going to kiss JD Vance's ass? I mean, I want somebody to make a list. Like who actually, maybe.

14:11No, he would never kiss his ass. Are you kidding me? He owns him. He got him to morally bend. When Peter Thiel found him, JD Vance was saying Trump is America's Hitler. Trump is opiates for the masses. That's where he stood. There's something about these people that love the humiliation kink of owning somebody and watching them completely debase themselves. And the Democrats need to start dismantling Marco Rubio every chance they can get. When I think about that little twat, little Marco getting 99 and 0 confirmed for his seat as Secretary of State. I get so mad about it. The Democrats should have buckled up immediately when Trump 2.0 came in and just started voting no, no, no, no, no.

15:02But instead, we're taking a plastic spoon to these fights. And MAGA has nukes and machine guns. They have just got to start eviscerating Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance, because it's easy. All you have to do is point out what pussies they are. It's the easiest thing on the planet. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
