WEBVTT - JD Vance EMBARRASSED On Live TV

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>It is Monday, October thirteenth. This is the morning. There

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was a remarkable moment that played out on Sunday Morning television.

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>George Stephanopholis dismissed the Vice President of the United States JD. Vans.

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>George Stefanopholis is a person of integrity who for many

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>years has laid out for the American people the vital

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>issues of the moment of the hour and asked tough questions.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>There are very few people who have done this. Now,

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>let's watch the exchange. George.

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>I saw media reports that Tom Holman accepted a bribe.

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>There's no evidence of that. And here's George, why fewer

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>credibility because you're talking for now five minutes with the

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Vice President of the United States about this story regarding

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Tom holm and a story that I've read about, but

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile,

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>low income women can't get food because the Democrats and

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Schumer have shut down the government. Right now, we're

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out how to pay our troops because

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You were focused

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>guy who has done nothing wrong, instead of focusing on

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the fact that our country is struggling because our government's

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George. I

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>think the American people would benefit much more from that

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>than from you going down some weird left wing rabbit

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Holman didn't

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>engage in any criminal wrongdoing.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 3>It's not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn't

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Holman accepted fifty

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars, as was heard on an audio tape recorded

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>by the FBI in September twenty twenty four, and you

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 3>did not answer the question. Thank you for your time

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>this morning. Noor I said that I don't up next.

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. Jd. Vance believes that, Hey, no

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>big deal. The man running America's secret police, Hey, he

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>deserves a little extra extra. So when he got a

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>bag with fifty thousand dollars in cash to facilitate contracts

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>so that when his men capture brown people, they can

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>be what's the word for it. I think that's the

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>word sold to a private contractor to a private prison

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>where they're detained before maybe some contractor maybe one that

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>put a little bit of cash into the pile for

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Tom Homan ships them off to Africa in our name.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>And make no mistake, this is happening all over the world.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>And so because Tom Homan is the head of a

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>force of thugs, is a little bit different than the

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Democratic congressman who got caught with seventy grand in his refrigerator,

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>or even Senator Menendez, who Chuck Schumer called a great

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.679
<v Speaker 1>public servant, who was caught with goal bars sewn inside

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>of his suit jackets, a center facing another realm of Indians.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it time for resignment?

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 4>It's not time to get a look the bottom line.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 4>As I've said, the Senate has certain standards that we

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 4>must live up to. I am very disappointed that Center

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Menendez has not lived up to those standards. Revision beginning,

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 4>why are you okay with him serving in your caucus,

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>sitting on committees, attending classified briefings. So he's been charged

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 4>with bribery, conspiracy, instruction of justice. As I've said, Senate

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 4>has standards. We should all be living up to those standards.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm deeply disappointed that Center Menndez has.

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Not Tom Homan. He's taking the cash to arrange for

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the capture of Brown people and their effective sale to

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>private prison contractors. See the difference. Bribery and extortion is

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>always bad, but in the case of Tom Homan, well,

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it's particularly a pregious but jd Vance who is a

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>product of political corruption, the sugar baby of Peter Tiel.

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Jd Vance whose career was sponsored by a very strange

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>billionaire with a fetish for the Antichrist. Not making this up.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Who he thinks may be Greta Thunberg, also not making

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it up. But in any rate, it's that weirdo who

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>put forty or fifty or sixty million into jd Vance

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>helping make him a senator before Donald Trump Junior, also

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.359
<v Speaker 1>known as Zude, picked him to be a heartbeat away

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>from the presidency. And so jd Vance, who has no experience,

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is personally very bizarre. Who is strident, belligerent, unaccomplished Vance, Well,

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't think it's right to be asked about out

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the bribery and corruption of the Trump administration that he's

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>such a part of. That's not a real issue. Not

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>according to JD. Vance the real issue, well, as always,

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it's something he's pretending. Then someone is doing something to Trump.

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember JD. Vance in the Oval Office with Zolanski.

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>end the destruction of your country. Yes, but if you President,

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 2>into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>front of the American media. Right now, you guys are

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 2>going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you have manpower problems. You should be thinking, the president

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 2>for any to bring it into this county.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Them into Ukraine, that do you say, what problems we have?

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I have been to well come one.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I've actually I've actually watched and seen the stories, and

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I know what happens is you bring people, you bring

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 2>them on a propaganda tour. Mister President, are do you

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>disagree that you've had problems bringing people in your military?

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that this respectful allots to come to

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the Oval Office of the United States of America and

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of your country.

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>That was a performance He's trying to impress Trump's the

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>daddy he never had JD. He's the type of hillbilly

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>who is nurturing on his memaw's hit till he was

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>eight or nine years old, if you know what I mean.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>But at any rate, he has found a psychological comfort

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>as a ex officio member of the Trump family from

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>their Appalachian wing and as a family member, JD. Vance

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>has to lie with the best of them. And so

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that's the setup for what you see. And George Stephanopolis

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>just lays it out there, doesn't He in the moment

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>makes clear I did nothing of this sort. It would

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>have been great if he headed you, Jackass. I asked

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you the question, you didn't answer the question. Good day

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to you. It's a clinic on how it should be done.

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And so let's watch the full exchange.

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 3>The White House borders are. Tom Homan was recorded on

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.239
<v Speaker 3>an FBI surveillance tape in September twenty twenty four accepting

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 3>fifty thousand dollars in cash. Did he keep that money

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 3>or give it back?

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>George, you've covered the story ad nauseum. Tom Holman did

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear and the

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>reason you guys are going after Tom Holman so aggressively,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 2>is because he's doing the job of enforcing the law.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really preposterous. I know Tom, I think

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>that he's a good man. He gets death threats, he

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>gets attacked, he gets constantly threatened by people because he

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>has the audacity to want to enforce the country's immigration laws.

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that it would be a much more interesting

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>story about why is it that Tom Holman, who is

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>simply enforcing Americans immigration laws, is getting constantly harassed and

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>threatened to the point of death threats. That's a much

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>more interesting question that I think journalists should focus on.

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 2>We could agree to disagree on that question.

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, you said he didn't take a bribe, but I'm

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>not sure you answered the question. Are you saying that

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>he did not accept the fifty thousand dollars.

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>George, This story has been covered ad nauseum. He did

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>not take a bribe? Did he accept fifty thousand dollars?

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that in the course of Tom Holman's life

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 2>he has been paid more than fifty thousand dollars for services.

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 2>The question is did he do something illegal? And there's

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no evidence to Tom Holmans taking different questions. I'm

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>asking did he why is working in the administration?

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm asking you did he accept the fifty thousand dollars

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 3>that was caught on the surveillance Say? Did he accept

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>that fifty thousand dollars or not?

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>George, I don't know what you're talking about. Did he

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>accept fifty thousand dollars for what.

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 3>He was recorded on an audio tape in September twenty

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 3>twenty four, an FBI surveillance tape accepting fifty thousand dollars

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>in cash? Did he keep that money?

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Accepting fifty thousand dollars for doing what? George, I'm not

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>even sure I understand the question. Is it a crime?

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Even the far left media like yourself. So I'm actually

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>not sure what the precise question is. Did he accept

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand dollars? Honestly, George, I don't know the answer

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 2>to that question. What I do know is that he

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't violate a crime.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 3>So what was caught on the tape? You're saying right now,

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 3>you don't know whether or not he kept that money.

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what tape you're referring to. George. I

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>saw media reports that Tom Holman accepted a bribe. There's

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 2>no evidence of that. And here's George, why fewer and

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>because you're talking for now five minutes with the Vice

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States about this story regarding Tom

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>holm and a story that I've read about, but I

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>don't even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile,

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>low income women can't get food because the Democrats and

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Schumer have shut down the government. Right now, we're

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out how to pay our troops because

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You were focused

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 2>on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>guy who has done nothing wrong, instead of focusing on

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the fact that our country is struggling because our government's

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George. I

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>think the American people would benefit much more from that

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 2>than from you going down some weird left wing rabbit

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 2>hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Holman didn't

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>engage in any criminal wrongdoing.

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 3>It's not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn't

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 3>insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Holman accepted fifty

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars, as was heard on an audio tape recorded

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 3>by the FBI in September twenty twenty four. And you

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 3>did not answer the question thank you for your time

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>this morning? No organ I said that I don't up

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 3>next We'll be right back.

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate that this is not something that's overly exceptional, but man,

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>oh man, is it rare? The lack of tolerance for

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>being lied to, for being abused. And what George Stephanoflos

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>seems to understand in this instant is that he's a cakekeeper.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Behind him is his audience. And on Sunday morning, they

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>tuned in not to be insulted, not to be assaulted,

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>but to be informed. And you can question if the

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>most productive way to go about informing yourself is to

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>watch a Sunday morning show. But on this Sunday morning

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on ABC, George Steffanopholis did at old school. He asked

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the question and there was no theatrics, any plain old

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>common sense thinking adult could see question was clear. The

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>answer was evasive. It was a version of JD Vance

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>belligerently saying go f yourself, And George Stefanopfholis said, no, thanks,

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 1>not today now here's the question, what's Bob Iger going

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to do when the White House calls and threatens him today?

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Is it the end times for George Stefanopholis. Will we

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>have a repeat of the flirtation with cowardice that we

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>saw with Jimmy Kemmel. What act of thuggery is coming

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 1>ABC for George stephanophilis daring to ask a question and

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>daring to say you didn't answer it. Well, we'll find

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>out soon enough. But until then, it was a good

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>day because finally someone drew a line and held it

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>regarding one of the most prolific liars in the whole

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump regime. So it's good for you and good for

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 1>George Stephanopholis and ABC News for doing what they ought

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to be doing seven days a week and twice on Sunday.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I invite you to join this community where I promise

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.720

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 1>in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.840
