1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: One hundred and one days remain until the US presidential

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: election in twenty four until the gavel drops and opens

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Convention. That convention is reborn, remade. It

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: is fueled by excitement, by energy. The fact of the

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: matter is Democrats have momentum, they have possession of the ball,

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: and they are on the move. But this is a

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: moment that must also be tempered by realism and reality.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: James Carville has tried to make this point over and

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: over again. We have seen wild swings of emotion in

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: the electorate among the bases of both parties, from great

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: enthusiasm to despair, and back and forth it goes. It

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: seems like there is no middle ground. But politics, particularly

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: at the presidential level, is a business. We're maintaining an

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: evil and strain. Maintaining an even keel is an important

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: thing to do. Jd Vance is something very special. I

16
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: never thought that I would live to say this. I

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: always knew it was theoretically possible that there would one

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: day be a vice presidential pick more morally deficient than

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: Sarah Panllin, more dishonest, more weird, more unfit. Like I said,

20
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: I just didn't think I would live to see it.

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was possible that it could happen

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: in such short proximity in years to two thousand and eight.

23
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: But here we go. How did the disaster happen? The

24
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: professional team on the Trump campaign Susie Wiles, Chris Losovita

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: wanted Marco Rubio. It would have been a fantastic pick

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: for Trump. Not saying he's a fantastic guy, He's a

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: total fraud, but politically it was the pick that made sense.

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Trump wanted North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham and founding father

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: look alike, but nobody else did. It was his boys

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Eric and Don Junior, Ude and Cuse that convinced him

31
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: to make the dumbest and worst vice presidential pick ever,

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: the bearded palen j the dvance.

33
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies

35
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: who are miserable at their own lives and the choices

36
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: that they've made. They're obsessed with their jobs, they're obsessed

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: with their wealth and with their fortunes, and they look

38
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: at Middle America, people who are actually pretty happy with

39
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: their lives and the choices that they've made, and they

40
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: hate normal Americans for choosing family over these ridiculous DC

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: in New York status games.

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: What JD Vance is when he talks about cat ladies

43
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: is a type of hero to the in cel. He's

44
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: a funny, tough guy, a pseudo masculinity masked by deep insecurities.

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Something important to understand about Jdvans. People that know him

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: best are the people from the region that he has

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: disparaged the most Appalachian. This is not a pick that

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: swells the heart with pride, as is the case in

49
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: the South Asian community or among African Americans. The people

50
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: that JD Vance demeaned are not rooting for JD. Vans

51
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: to become president of the United States. Oh and by

52
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the way, let me make my position on this perfectly clear.

53
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Seventy eight years old is also too old to be

54
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: president of the United States. Donald Trump is completely incoherent,

55
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: obviously addled, deeply disordered, and no crazy old man should

56
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: have their finger on the nuclear button, and certainly a

57
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: proto fascist shouldn't be his successor underneath at all. Wait

58
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: till the American people finds how to bet Jdevans's fake

59
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: opioid charity. It is astonishing. He's a weak, weak candidate.

60
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I was deeply involved in a Tim Bryant campaign. Frankly,

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the best campaigns I've ever been involved in.

62
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: Campaign manager Dave Chase, Democratic strategist Brandon Hall ran a

63
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: remarkable effort the top of the ticket. The Democratic candidate

64
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: lost by twenty six points, but jd Vance only one

65
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: by five, and that was after fifty seven million dollars

66
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: in spending by Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumber didn't give Tim

67
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Ryan a dime. He almost did it. He had jd

68
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Vance down and out in August of twenty two. He

69
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be the vice presidential nominee, but he is because

70
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: of Trump's craziness and cynicism and a lack of foresight

71
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: by Democrats ied to throw away a US Senate seat.

72
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: But that's a story for a different day. The story

73
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: for today is this man's abject weirdness and his weakness

74
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: and his creepiness. Like I've said before, I say this seriously.

75
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Imagine somebody my side throwing a punch at a five

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: foot four inch woman. Think about that video the whole

77
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: country saw with p ditty beating a woman. Or think

78
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: about Gaina Weight of the UFC slapping his wife repeatedly

79
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve, the man that Trump picked to

80
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: introduce him. Think about that, and think about Jay Keith

81
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Vance's advice that the beaten woman should stay married, should

82
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: not leave, should not protect yourself and her children. He

83
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: is an extremist nut job of the highest highest conceivable magnitude,

84
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: unfit to be in the Senate, unfit to be in

85
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: the national command authority. And God help us all of

86
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: this bearded victor orbon loving lick shpittle ever becomes the

87
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: commander in chief. He is an appalling, appalling human being,

88
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: a fraud, a con and the worst VP pick ever,

89
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: even worse than Sarah Palin. And like I said, I

90
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: never ever thought that I would be alive to say

91
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: that that could be possible. But it shows again that

92
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: John McCain was right about something deep down. Anything is

93
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: possible in America. Gratulations to JD. Vance, new king of

94
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: the worst VP picks of all time. Long live JD. Sarah,

95
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: you were tough to displace. I mean it from the

96
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: bottom of my heart. You are as nutty as they come, dishonest,

97
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: as the day is long, ignorant at a level has

98
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: simply mind boggling. But even with all of that, and

99
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: everything you've done over the last fifteen years, even the

100
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: whole costume thing on the mass singer song, Today's to day,

101
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you get to give up the crown. It goes to J.

102
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: D Vance, the California Yale billy, who with a glass

103
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: of Chortenay in his hands, said he wasn't comfortable back

104
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: in Ohio living with those Hillbillies anymore. A fraud picked

105
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: for his protoge and air apparent another fraud, and now

106
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: they're sinking. It seems that at the moment the Democrats

107
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: were preparing to ram the Iceberg, they changed course, and

108
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: behind them the s S. Mara Lago is full steam

109
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: ahead into the ice And that's a good thing for

110
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: America and all the generations of Americans yet born, because

111
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: there's now a chance to defeat this incipient rowing American

112
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: fascism that calls itself MAGA. This is the warning and
