0:00Teens share everything. That may include the bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease known as meningitis. Even if your teen's been vaccinated in the past, they could still be missing meningitis vaccinations. Ask your teen's doctor or visit meningitis.com today. Sponsored by GSK.

0:19All right, Peter Thiel is a really weird, evil, diabolical human being. Of course, you know he owns Palantir. Of course, you know he purchased the vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance. purchased his Senate seat and also placed him as vice president of the United States because Donald Trump will just, you know, he's very transactional. As Peter Thiel, after making this huge investment and huge makeover of J.D. Vance, has even got J.D. Vance to where J.D. Vance will not defend his brown skinned wife, will not defend his brown skinned kids, refuses to condemn racism, refuses to condemn Nazi group chats.

0:59Peter Thiel will just wad him up and throw him in the trash can, play the clip. The potential candidates that are heard most often are J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio. Who do you think would be the better candidate in order to increase the likelihood that the Republicans would win the next election?

1:23Well, I am still a Vance partisan. I worry that it will be very hard for either candidate to win. And so, I don't know. My pessimistic thought is that that's the wrong question. Josh. Well, I hate to say that I agree with him, but I also wonder if he's being sincere. I don't know. When these guys get up and say something that I agree with, my initial instinct is to distrust that information and think, why? What motive do they have? to say this. Because he did say that I'm still a Vance partisan, unless he's just reading the room and seeing just how fucking god-awful this administration has been.

2:11But I don't trust him either. I think it's interesting. It's sort of the way that Trump treats people. He bought and paid for Vance. He's expendable. He can go buy and pay for something else. I know he has a certain loyalty. But if Vance doesn't get the nomination, then he'll quickly move on to something else and find some other means of access. It's just what those guys do. All right. And then we have J.D. Vance. He has been confirmed as the leaker in the White House. Pop this up. The anonymous senior administration official behind one of the stories the White House cited to justify banning Politico was none other than Vice President J.D.

2:54Vance, Oliver Darcy, has the scoop pumps. Here's the thing. J.D. Vance has been leaking out of this administration from JEP. We heard about the Situation Room meeting about Jeffrey Epstein from none other than J.D. Vance. We heard that J.D. Vance doesn't support the war in Iran from none other than J.D. Vance. I think that this This is J.D. Vance attempting to distance himself from this administration and the disaster that it is. But at the same time, when he goes out publicly, he's raw for Trump. So here's the deal. J.D. Vance doesn't give a fuck. He wants to win. He wants political power. And he's too big of a spineless coward to get it, I hope.

3:40Yeah. And I think J.D. Vance is just he's loyal to nothing. And I have always made the premise that I think this is the most toxic work environment on the planet. Nobody really believes in what Trump is doing. They're just all jockeying to be the heir apparent. And J.D. Vance is no different than that. J.D. Vance is probably in some regards trying to sabotage a lot of what Trump does just because that's how toxic he is. Here is a man who says about his own wife, Usha can't help it that she's white. So any projection that we have that J.D. Vance is going to be a moral good person when you can't defend your wife and kids, he cannot defend his own wife and kids, is really fascinating to me.

4:29And I also think it's a window into a lot of the MAGA movement. When it boils down to it, everything is conditional. These people don't believe in unconditional love and unconditional support. even with Trump. They don't support him unconditionally because they know Trump doesn't support them unconditionally. And then we have some new reporting confirming that Vance is inflating his fraud numbers. Pop this up. J.D. Vance said, we found$250 billion of fraud just since the president made me the fraud czar. Yet some of the numbers Mr. Vance and his task force have promoted are overstated or lack specificity.

5:07Obviously, the whole fraud department is a complete fraud. I mean, that is fraudulent on its face. Teens share everything. That may include the bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease known as meningitis. Even if your teen's been vaccinated in the past, they could still be missing meningitis vaccinations. Ask your teen's doctor or visit Meningitis.com today. Sponsored by GSK. Also, the fact that Donald Trump is the most fraudulent president we've ever had, and he likes to rat fuck his sycophants. I think it's just a total setup for J.D. Vance to faceplant on this. Josh, what's your take of that?

5:50Well, J.D. Vance is perpetrating fraud upon the American public about the amount of fraud that they've recovered. And if you remember last week, he gave an anti-fraud speech in front of several patrons who had received fraud pardons from Donald Trump. So this on its face is laughable. And notice how he just throws that number out there. Like there's, is there any data to support this bullshit that he's saying? He just says, oh, we got 250. And that's what these guys do. They just go in and say this stuff with no, with no factual basis to support it. No, no, nothing to back it up. And we all know that Donald Trump, as it relates to white collar crimes and fraud, he's gutted the FBI, he's gutted the Department of Justice, and he's publicly said, we're not going to pursue those types of cases because that's the kind of shit I'm doing right now.

6:46And so why in the world do I want to send a message that people like that go to prison when I'm doing it, when I'm doing it to the highest degree ever of any sitting president? So it's a, it's just a, it's a joke. All right. So then we have Susan Collins and I really want this woman to be beaten. I mean, And I, from living in a red state and seeing how many women vote against their daughter's health care, the fact that Gloria Steinem died with less rights than what she fought for. And then you have Susan Collins, who rides the shoulders of all of these feminist icons, these trailblazers who paved a way for her to be in the Senate and for her to vote for an alleged sexual assaulter named Brett Kavanaugh is just unbelievable.

7:39And here we have Susan Collins asked about her vote for Brett Kavanaugh. I'll play the clip. Please thank Susan Collins for getting Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court. Thank you. That was a tough vote for you, wasn't it? I mean, you know, they tried to hang that around your neck. it's it's something that still comes up and it's he's qualified and I don't as I've said I don't regret that vote okay I just want to say before I get your all's take on this what really pisses me off about this is Susan the reason this comes up Senator Collins is because women are dying and you are one of the killers.

8:26Women in this country that have pregnancies that are complicated, particularly in our state, our home state of Oklahoma, the governor, Governor Kevin Stitt, is a cold-blooded killer of women. Susan Collins is a killer of women. The half-dead Mitch McConnell, these people want to kill women. Their policies kill women. Brett Kavanaugh and all of these other justices lied and said Roe was president. And we all knew, everybody fucking knew that the Republicans for decades have been dying to overturn Roe v. Wade because they resent women having autonomy. And they would rather brand it as abortion is this thing that all these sluts do for birth control.

9:12Because there is so much inherent misogyny, plus in the case of Susan Collins internalized misogyny to deliver for a patriarchy that will watch you just drown and die. So in that, she has killed women in her vote. And the reason it will come up and continue to come up and will continue to come up is because women in this country are dying or having severe complications for the rest of their lives that they are going to be unable to have pregnancies because Susan Collins, Brett Kavanaugh, and all of these other crazy people have no problem with women dying, none. And they think what happens in an OBGYN appointment is their business.

9:56And societies that don't prop up and protect women are doomed to fail. And the Republican Party props up these men and women that want to marginalize women, even their own daughters, is such a moral shortcoming. It disgusts me to the core of my being. It has always disgusted me to the core of my being that so many women that I'm acquaintances with in Oklahoma, they're not my friends. Don't get it twisted. But that they will go out, that have daughters, that they will go out and vote for this regime. They will go out and vote for a regime that will value the rights of a rapist over the rights of their own daughter.

10:43The depravity of the MAGA movement. It will never cease to amaze me just how morally rotten these people are. Well, when you think about it, there have been more women arrested for miscarriages and reproductive violations of all this state law, then there have been arrests in the Epstein files. I mean, it's exactly what you said. And I too find it more egregious that a female senator was the deciding vote. But then when you look into Susan Collins, as soon as she voted for Brett Kavanaugh, her coffers were flooded from the Federalist Society. She got campaign contributions. It was a quid pro quo.

11:24And then you look at the most recent ProPublica reporting where she was doing a quid pro quo with a defense contractor who's in jail. But the Trump administration shut that investigation down to her. Susan Collins is bought and paid for. She doesn't give a shit about her constituents. She certainly does not give a shit about women. She gives a shit about her own political survival. and I hope that she is not reelected in Maine. I hope so. I mean, I hope to God she's not reelected in Maine. All right, that's all we have.
