WEBVTT - Is JD Vance the Worst VP Pick In US History?

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and one days remain until the US presidential

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>election in twenty four until the gavel drops and opens

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic National Convention. That convention is reborn, remade. It

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>is fueled by excitement, by energy. The fact of the

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>matter is Democrats have momentum, they have possession of the ball,

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and they are on the move. But this is a

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>moment that must also be tempered by realism and reality.

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.959
<v Speaker 1>James Carville has tried to make this point over and

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>over again. We have seen wild swings of emotion in

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the electorate among the bases of both parties, from great

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm to despair, and back and forth it goes. It

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>seems like there is no middle ground. But politics, particularly

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>at the presidential level, is a business. We're maintaining an

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>evil and strain. Maintaining an even keel is an important

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. Jd Vance is something very special. I

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>never thought that I would live to say this. I

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>always knew it was theoretically possible that there would one

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>day be a vice presidential pick more morally deficient than

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Panllin, more dishonest, more weird, more unfit. Like I said,

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't think I would live to see it.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think it was possible that it could happen

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>in such short proximity in years to two thousand and eight.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>But here we go. How did the disaster happen? The

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>professional team on the Trump campaign Susie Wiles, Chris Losovita

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted Marco Rubio. It would have been a fantastic pick

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for Trump. Not saying he's a fantastic guy, He's a

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>total fraud, but politically it was the pick that made sense.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump wanted North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham and founding father

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>look alike, but nobody else did. It was his boys

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Eric and Don Junior, Ude and Cuse that convinced him

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to make the dumbest and worst vice presidential pick ever,

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the bearded palen j the dvance.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 2>We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>who are miserable at their own lives and the choices

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 2>that they've made. They're obsessed with their jobs, they're obsessed

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>with their wealth and with their fortunes, and they look

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>at Middle America, people who are actually pretty happy with

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>their lives and the choices that they've made, and they

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.399
<v Speaker 2>hate normal Americans for choosing family over these ridiculous DC

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>in New York status games.

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>What JD Vance is when he talks about cat ladies

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is a type of hero to the in cel. He's

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a funny, tough guy, a pseudo masculinity masked by deep insecurities.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Something important to understand about Jdvans. People that know him

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>best are the people from the region that he has

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>disparaged the most Appalachian. This is not a pick that

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>swells the heart with pride, as is the case in

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the South Asian community or among African Americans. The people

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that JD Vance demeaned are not rooting for JD. Vans

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to become president of the United States. Oh and by

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, let me make my position on this perfectly clear.

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Seventy eight years old is also too old to be

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>president of the United States. Donald Trump is completely incoherent,

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously addled, deeply disordered, and no crazy old man should

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>have their finger on the nuclear button, and certainly a

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>proto fascist shouldn't be his successor underneath at all. Wait

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>till the American people finds how to bet Jdevans's fake

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>opioid charity. It is astonishing. He's a weak, weak candidate.

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I was deeply involved in a Tim Bryant campaign. Frankly,

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the best campaigns I've ever been involved in.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Campaign manager Dave Chase, Democratic strategist Brandon Hall ran a

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>remarkable effort the top of the ticket. The Democratic candidate

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>lost by twenty six points, but jd Vance only one

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>by five, and that was after fifty seven million dollars

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in spending by Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumber didn't give Tim

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Ryan a dime. He almost did it. He had jd

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Vance down and out in August of twenty two. He

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be the vice presidential nominee, but he is because

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's craziness and cynicism and a lack of foresight

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>by Democrats ied to throw away a US Senate seat.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's a story for a different day. The story

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for today is this man's abject weirdness and his weakness

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and his creepiness. Like I've said before, I say this seriously.

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Imagine somebody my side throwing a punch at a five

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>foot four inch woman. Think about that video the whole

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>country saw with p ditty beating a woman. Or think

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>about Gaina Weight of the UFC slapping his wife repeatedly

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>on New Year's Eve, the man that Trump picked to

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>introduce him. Think about that, and think about Jay Keith

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Vance's advice that the beaten woman should stay married, should

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>not leave, should not protect yourself and her children. He

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>is an extremist nut job of the highest highest conceivable magnitude,

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>unfit to be in the Senate, unfit to be in

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 1>the national command authority. And God help us all of

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>this bearded victor orbon loving lick shpittle ever becomes the

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.679
<v Speaker 1>commander in chief. He is an appalling, appalling human being,

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>a fraud, a con and the worst VP pick ever,

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>even worse than Sarah Palin. And like I said, I

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>never ever thought that I would be alive to say

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that that could be possible. But it shows again that

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>John McCain was right about something deep down. Anything is

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>possible in America. Gratulations to JD. Vance, new king of

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the worst VP picks of all time. Long live JD. Sarah,

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you were tough to displace. I mean it from the

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>bottom of my heart. You are as nutty as they come, dishonest,

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>as the day is long, ignorant at a level has

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>simply mind boggling. But even with all of that, and

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 1>everything you've done over the last fifteen years, even the

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>whole costume thing on the mass singer song, Today's to day,

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you get to give up the crown. It goes to J.

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>D Vance, the California Yale billy, who with a glass

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of Chortenay in his hands, said he wasn't comfortable back

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in Ohio living with those Hillbillies anymore. A fraud picked

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>for his protoge and air apparent another fraud, and now

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>they're sinking. It seems that at the moment the Democrats

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>were preparing to ram the Iceberg, they changed course, and

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>behind them the s S. Mara Lago is full steam

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>ahead into the ice And that's a good thing for

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>America and all the generations of Americans yet born, because

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>there's now a chance to defeat this incipient rowing American

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>fascism that calls itself MAGA. This is the warning and
