0:05Angie Sullivan:Everybody hates J.D. Vance. I mean, everybody. Donald Trump hates him, screws him over every chance he can get. His pimp, Peter Thiel, the techno-fascist billionaire, packed his toys up and moved to Argentina. I don't even think Usha likes him. She looks terrible. Ever since they got into the White House, it's just horrible that he's just keeping her pregnant like a handmade maine-tail type situation. Well, of course, then now he has to trot out on the view just to show America what an insufferable twat he is. Play the clip. So number one, I am frankly kind of a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff.

0:40And that story says that that's one of the things that's true is that some people called me a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff. And I love Susie, but absolutely she thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff because I think that it's crazy that you had this guy who is clearly a sex predator who was hanging out with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people like that really bothered me i don't know what's there of course nobody knows exactly what happened unless you were there

1:05Angie Sullivan:i wonder who was hanging out with was it donald trump was it peter teal i mean elon musk the list goes on and on what nick all of your co-workers you dipshit And here's the deal. You know exactly what it says about Trump because you were in the situation room when they were talking about it. Now we have audio of it. What a fucking liar. What a disgrace. He's trying to both sides his position on the Epstein files. Before he found out that the entire administration was in the Epstein files, he was the one calling for the release. And now he's pussyfooting around. What a piece of dog shit. What just what a piece of shit.

1:49J.D.

1:50Angie Sullivan:Vance is, I mean, just a spectacular piece of shit. It reminds me of Governor Kittenhills, Governor Ron DeSantis down in Florida. I remember when everybody thought, oh, he's going to win the nomination. You know, he's going to bring us back to our Republican roots. He puts on those white boots and wears his little kitten heel and face plants spectacularly. J.D. Vance does the exact same with an assist from his boss, Donald Trump, who loves to rat fuck him every chance he can get. Here is JD Vance being confronted over Trump being in the Epstein files. Play the clip. Yes, but you know, one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police.

2:33That's one of the things that came out of these files. They were best friends for about a decade. And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene did not give in to his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the situation room to pressure her into caving on not

2:53Angie Sullivan:voting for that bill. So let me respond to that. So Anna Navarro, that queen, you could just, she's so indignant in the disdain. It was palpable. I could feel it and just watching it, loved her a plus no notes. But here's the thing. Donald Trump really liked Jeffrey Epstein because he had no friends and jeffrey epstein really was not capable of having friendships because he honey potted everybody and one of the people that he honey potted was donald trump the only reason donald trump got mad at jeffrey epstein is that jeffrey epstein recruited masseuses from mar-a-lago and took them to go be uh underage on i mean like captive sex workers i mean criminal shit.

3:37Angie Sullivan:Donald Trump was just mad about that. Not about the sex crimes. No, he could mad that he felt like somebody took something that was his. The reason Donald Trump melts down all the time, the reason J.D. Vance is face painting here is because Donald Trump is kinkles deep in the epicenter of the Epstein files. Epstein files are pesky and they're not going anywhere. Here's the thing about this is just what is these people act like they speak in a vacuum. Like he He gets on Twitter and says shit. He goes on podcasts and says shit. And then he writes this book about his faith. And he's so great. And then he goes on there.

4:12Well, the only reason he's on The View is because the, what's his face? Brennan Carr is reviewing ABC's license because they don't give enough time to both sides. So he temper tantrumed his way on there. He should have known it was coming. And that's the best you got. That's the best right there. No wonder Peter Thiel is so disappointed.

4:32Angie Sullivan:But I mean, this is the MAGA thing. The bullshit of owning the libs doesn't work on The View. So then he's left there to try to spin this thing that doesn't work. If he were on some right-wing MAGA podcast, he could be like, well, the truth is Donald Trump knows that Bill Clinton and Hillary were the ringleaders and everybody's just lapping it up like fucking dogs. No disrespect to dogs because they're my favorite animal. But here is J.D. Vance being confronted over not releasing the Epstein files. Play the clip. Pages of documents. My understanding is the 2.5 million, Sonny. I'm going to check on this to make sure, but my understanding is that a lot of those are duplicates of things that have already been released.

5:15We're not holding anything back.

5:20Angie Sullivan:It's a lie. It's just an absolute lie. Where are the videos? Where are the photographs? Destroyed. He knows it's a lie. God Blanche destroyed them.

5:34Angie Sullivan:probably. All right. And then here is JD Vance saying that Trump never said he loved inflation, which listener viewer, it is on video. Donald Trump says, I love the inflation. It's objectively true. He said it. And then here is JD Vance, big Christian, big Catholic thumper, wrote a book for inspiration for others for christianity lying through his teeth on the view defending child sex crimes child sex trafficking defending his alleged pedophile boss and here he is lying about aforementioned alleged pedophile boss play the clip but the president knows that a lot of americans are struggling in fact he ran on that he talked about it and we've done some things and made some good progress on that point.

6:24He just said he loves the inflation. What he said, Anna, what he said is that he loves the fact that the inflation is going to come down when this war is over. That's what he said. That wasn't interesting.

6:36Angie Sullivan:Wait, are you his interpreter or are you his vice president?

6:43Angie Sullivan:What? What fucking idiot. His laugh. Here's the thing. That works on Fox. That works on right-wing media because they don't care about the facts. They don't care that they're watching a guy drool on himself, Donald Trump, with his poopy diaper and his muffin top cankles over his shoes, which is really quite an accomplishment. Something I had never seen in my 51 years, a cankle being a muffin top until this presidency. I didn't know that was possible. He is ushering in new things in America and it is the muffin top kinkle. I had no idea that somebody could be that sick, that demented, that puffed up like a bubble tick.

7:27Angie Sullivan:And your vice president doesn't have the decency to encourage you to step down or to start the 25th Amendment. Instead, he goes on and glazes you like a goddamn donut all over the view. And it's pathetic and it doesn't work. It doesn't work. here's the thing again i go back to jd vance demanded this time he wanted to be on there he was so ill prepared like he should have known every single bit of this was coming but don't you think that's part of the way they set this up it is they know in their right-wing media channels it doesn't matter what he says on there it doesn't matter what the ladies on the view says it's better for him to go in and be ill prepared and then maybe get the ladies worked up So then they can go back over to the right wing media and go, look at these hysterical, crazy witches.

8:19Angie Sullivan:Look at them. Look at Whoopi. Look and they can, you know, Sonny's a black woman. Whoopi's a black woman. All of those are very easy things to diminish and besmirch in the right wing media ecosystem. And here's one thing I'm going to say about MAGA that is better than the Democrats. They go on all forms of media. I don't knock him for doing this. he all politicians should do this all politicians should go on all sorts of media they should i think it when pete buddha judge goes on fox love it i think it's fantastic i think it's it's it's really great um i mean obviously the view they had to do it obviously the ladies didn't want to do it my empathy for them you know being next to him i have a lot of questions the makeup looked rather orange the eyeliner looked very light i want to talk to the makeup person that day to intentionally do his makeup orange what was going on there you have to wonder i know somebody we made a little social media clip of this pumps and somebody wrote on the comment to kylie did trump sit on his face before he went out okay and then here's the last clip of little smoky little smoky i says sociopaths appearance on The View when asked about erasing black history.

9:38Angie Sullivan:Play the clip. What did black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color? And you know how hard it is. You have family. Sure. So when you see, you know, things, the Emmett Till stuff coming down or them doing all kinds of removal of information of black heroes, how do you, how do you, how does that sit with you? What do you, what exactly are you talking about, Whoopi? I'm talking about the, I can tell you all this. So, Pumps, then he comes back. Whoopi's so overwhelmed when he asked that. she was like there's just so many what do i say but i mean obviously we can start with pete hexeth explicitly and exclusively firing women and people of color from the military um but he goes on to circle back and answer to whoopi about violent crime which is one of the most racist dog whistle you can do and it's this myth that white people love to perpetuate that black people are on welfare and black people commit crimes the truth of the matter is white people are on welfare at a far higher click than black people are and this is something that started in the reagan era demonizing black people blaming black people because that's the number one scapegoat in the united states always has been and always will be anti-black racism and for him to go on there next to a very accomplished black woman and answer her question by bringing up violent crime is just straight up unabashed racism i would expect nothing less especially from him who he has defended young republicans these poor kids in nazi group chats that's exactly In the Nazi group chats, they're using N-word.

11:45Angie Sullivan:Using the N-word. I mean, that's who he is. And he has a wife of Indian descent and mixed race children. And that's who he is. And Usha just had another baby with him, but that's a different story. Yeah. Yeah. I had that Lauren P. I am Lauren P. on the pod. She's fantastic. A progressive podcaster. She thinks that they just had like an IVF situation where the egg was already frozen. and she's like all right i'll just go ahead and pop another one in and i kind of think that's probably a pretty good theory um but anyway god i mean it's just horrible to think about sharing dna with him you know i mean the just the the uh just horrible all right that's all we have please like subscribe i would like to dedicate this book to you not today fascist to our little eyeliner wearing wannabe orange face um you know here's the thing i know you want to be like as good as Donald Trump, you're just not likable.

12:41Angie Sullivan:And I don't like Donald Trump, but the cult does. But one thing I have in common with the cult is they hate your fucking guts, vice president fans. All right. Pre-order my book. The link's right below in the show notes. We'll be back later with more news.
