25
00:00:55,349 --> 00:00:56,061

30
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:03,610

31

37
00:01:09,170 --> 00:01:10,890

41

WE'RE GONNA GO FURTHER.

42
00:01:17,037 --> 00:01:17,582

48
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:26,000
YOU ASK YOUR SITUATIONSHIP IF

59
00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:41,949
DOWN TO GREETING THE REMAINS OF

60
00:01:41,949 --> 00:01:43,209
FALLEN AMERICAN TROOPS WHILE

61
00:01:43,210 --> 00:01:44,870

CONFUSED ABOUT CIVILIAN

65
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:49,310

66
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:50,910
TAKE THE HORRIFYING STRIKE ON AN

67

LEAST 175 PEOPLE, MOST OF THEM

69
00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:55,009
CHILDREN.

70
00:01:55,009 --> 00:01:56,169
OBSERVERS QUICKLY CAME TO

71
00:01:56,169 --> 00:01:57,570
BELIEVE THE U.S. WAS RESPONSIBLE

72
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:59,169
-- INCLUDING, IT NOW SEEMS, OUR

73
00:01:59,169 --> 00:02:00,169
OWN MILITARY.

74
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:01,949
YET TRUMP'S REPEATEDLY PLAYED

75
00:02:01,949 --> 00:02:03,650
DUMB WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT.

76
00:02:03,715 --> 00:02:08,070
>> A TOMAHAWK MISSILE LIKELY

77
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:08,692
DESTROYED THAT IRANIAN GIRLS

78
00:02:08,692 --> 00:02:09,609
SCHOOL.

79
00:02:09,609 --> 00:02:11,009
SO WILL THE AMERICANS -- THE

80
00:02:11,009 --> 00:02:12,302
U.S. ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY

81
00:02:12,302 --> 00:02:12,856
FOR THAT STRIKE?

82
00:02:12,856 --> 00:02:13,856
>> WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

83
00:02:13,861 --> 00:02:15,805
AND I WILL SAY THAT THE

84
00:02:15,872 --> 00:02:17,314
TOMAHAWK, WHICH IS ONE OF THE

85
00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:18,821
MOST POWERFUL WEAPONS AROUND, IS

86
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:20,510

87
00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:22,550

88
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:23,550
KNOW THAT.

89
00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:26,310
AND WHETHER IT'S IRAN, WHO ALSO

90
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:27,730
HAS SOME TOMAHAWKS, THEY WISH

91
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:30,490
THEY HAD MORE, BUT WHETHER IT'S

92
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:31,829
IRAN OR SOMEBODY ELSE, THE FACT

93
00:02:31,829 --> 00:02:33,329
THAT A TOMAHAWK, A TOMAHAWK IS

94
00:02:33,329 --> 00:02:34,050
VERY GENERIC.

95
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:35,470
>> YOU JUST SUGGESTED THAT IRAN

96
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:37,090
SOMEHOW GOT ITS HANDS ON A

97
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,270
TOMAHAWK AND BOMBED ITS OWN

98
00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:39,570
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE FIRST

99
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:40,270

EVEN YOUR OWN DEFENSE SECRETARY

103
00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:44,470
WOULDN'T SAY THAT WHEN HE WAS

105
00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:46,930

106
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:47,790

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON

108
00:02:48,670 --> 00:02:49,242
SAYING THIS?

109
00:02:49,242 --> 00:02:49,519

110

ENOUGH ABOUT IT.

111
00:02:50,611 --> 00:02:53,756

115
00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:58,970
LISTEN TO THE DAILY BRIEFINGS HE

116
00:02:58,970 --> 00:02:59,190

117
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:59,990
OF COURSE NOT.

118
00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:01,670
IT'S HARD TO SAY WHETHER TRUMP

119
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:02,970
IS BEING ACTIVELY DECEPTIVE

120
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:04,150
THERE, OR JUST PLAIN DUMB.

121
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:05,530
IN HIS WORDS, I THINK YOU COULD

122
00:03:05,530 --> 00:03:06,530

123
00:03:07,630 --> 00:03:08,350

190
00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:12,630
BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHERE WE ARE

191
00:05:12,630 --> 00:05:13,660
IN THIS CONFLICT -- ESPECIALLY

192
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:15,480
GIVEN THE WHITE HOUSE CONTINUES

193
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680
TO CHURN OUT SHITPOSTS LIKE THIS

194
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:17,928
ONE.

195
00:05:17,928 --> 00:05:24,928

>> John: OKAY.

197
00:05:45,239 --> 00:05:46,979
LOOK, THIS ISN'T THE POINT.

198
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:47,979
THE POINT SHOULD BE THAT

199
00:05:47,979 --> 00:05:48,880
EVERYONE IN THIS WHITE HOUSE

200
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,359
CLEARLY NEEDS PARENTAL CONTROLS

201
00:05:50,359 --> 00:05:51,359
ON SCREENTIME.

202
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
BUT ALSO, YOU SEND A BALL RIGHT

203
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,940
DOWN THE MIDDLE LIKE THAT,

204
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:55,940
YOU'RE GONNA GET A SPLIT.

205
00:05:56,039 --> 00:05:58,500
YOU GOTTA COME IN AT A SLIGHT

206
00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:59,679
ANGLE OTHERWISE THERE'S NO WAY

207
00:05:59,679 --> 00:06:00,530
YOU'RE GOING 10 FOR 10.

208
00:06:00,530 --> 00:06:01,720
I DON'T DO MUCH BOWLING MYSELF.

209
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,520
TOO WHIMSICAL.

210
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,840
I'M MORE OF A FROWN AND PLAY

211
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:04,340
CHESS MAN.

212
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:06,179
BUT EVEN I KNOW THAT'S NOT A

213
00:06:06,179 --> 00:06:07,200
BALL THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU

214
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,200
WHAT YOU WANT.

215
00:06:08,859 --> 00:06:10,260
NOW ONE REASON THE WHITE HOUSE

216
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:11,620
MIGHT BE DOING ALL THIS IS TO

217
00:06:11,620 --> 00:06:12,919

00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:09,539
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

290
00:08:10,159 --> 00:08:11,200
A HEADLINE'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE

291
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,840
YOU A CLEAR IDEA OF A STORY IN A

292
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,380
FEW WORDS.

293
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:15,080
THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE IRAN IS

294
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,819
LITERALLY GETTING SMALLER AND

295
00:08:16,939 --> 00:08:18,919
SINKING, LIKE SOME KIND OF

296
00:08:18,919 --> 00:08:19,990
MIDDLE EASTERN ATLANTIS.

297
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:22,020

TRYING TO FORCE-FEED HEADLINES

299
00:08:23,099 --> 00:08:24,120
TO THE PRESS, AND WHY THE

300
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,900
WHITE HOUSE IS PUMPING OUT FUN

301
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:27,030
BOWLING ANIMATIONS -- ALTHOUGH

302
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:28,186
I'LL POINT OUT, IN BOWLING, NO

303
00:08:28,186 --> 00:08:30,422
MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU KNOCK

304
00:08:30,422 --> 00:08:31,939
THEM DOWN, THEY DO RETURN TO

305
00:08:31,939 --> 00:08:32,960
THEIR ORIGINAL POSITIONS.

306
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,039
WHICH FEELS PRETTY ON THE NOSE.

307
00:08:35,530 --> 00:08:37,740
LOOK, CLEARLY, NO ONE BEHIND

308
00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:39,078
THIS WAR WANTS TO DEAL WITH HOW

309
00:08:39,078 --> 00:08:40,520
COMPLICATED IT'S TURNED OUT TO

310
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:40,919
BE.

311
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:42,220
TRUMP'S SAYING IT'LL BE OVER

312
00:08:42,220 --> 00:08:44,179
WHEN I FEEL IT IN MY BONES,

313
00:08:44,599 --> 00:08:46,599
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

314
00:08:48,179 --> 00:08:49,679
WHICH IS A PRETTY THOUGHTLESS

315
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,279
WAY TO APPROACH A CONFLICT

316
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:52,620
THAT'S ALREADY KILLED SO MANY.

317
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,059
IT'S NOT JUST DISRESPECTFUL TO

318
00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:55,700
THE IRANIAN PEOPLE AND TO U.S.

319
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,170
SERVICE MEMBERS AFFECTED, IT'S

320
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:59,140
DISRESPECTFUL TO US TO ASSUME

321

CHILDISH MEMES AND SUGAR-COATED

322
00:09:01,079 --> 00:09:02,460

CAN ALL SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES.

324
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:05,960
BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T

HARVARD LAW TO GET STUPID.

347
00:09:47,270 --> 00:09:48,310
I DIDN'T GO TO HARVARD LAW

348
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:49,140
SCHOOL FOR NOTHING.

349
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:51,276
I WENT THROUGH HARVARD.

350
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:52,229

358
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:08,250

YEARS OLD, HE'S OUR FIRST

364
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:20,890
MILLENNIAL VICE PRESIDENT, SO WE

365
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:22,240

00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,780
FOUNDATION SAID VANCE IS GOING

376
00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:38,180
TO BE "ONE OF THE LEADERS -- IF

377
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:39,280
NOT THE LEADER -- OF OUR

378
00:10:39,447 --> 00:10:39,920
MOVEMENT."

379
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,920
AND TUCKER CARLSON ONCE CALLED

380
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,180
HIM "THE SMARTEST AND DEEPEST"

381
00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:43,680
SENATOR HE'S EVER MET.

382
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:44,980
WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE RYAN

383
00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:46,620
LOCHTE CALLING COOKIE MONSTER

384
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:48,560
"HIS GO-TO GUY FOR INVESTMENT

385
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,760
ADVICE" I DON'T TRUST ANY OF THE

386
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:53,010
INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED TO BE

387
00:10:53,010 --> 00:10:54,100
RELIABLE JUDGES OF ANY OF THE

388
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,100
SUBJECTS INVOLVED.

389
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,140
AND HIS RISE TO BECOME TRUMP'S

390
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:58,180
RIGHT-HAND MAN IS ESPECIALLY

391
00:10:58,180 --> 00:10:58,885
STRIKING GIVEN, AS RECENTLY AS

392
00:10:58,885 --> 00:10:59,885
2016, HE WAS CASTING HIMSELF AS

393
00:11:00,086 --> 00:11:02,831
A "NEVER TRUMP" REPUBLICAN,

394
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,520
SAYING HE MIGHT WRITE IN HIS DOG

395
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,500
FOR PRESIDENT, OR IF TRUMP HAD A

396
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:07,579
REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING,

397
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:09,000
HOLD HIS NOSE AND VOTE FOR

398
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,620
HILLARY CLINTON.

399
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:11,500
PRIVATELY HE EVEN MUSED THAT

400
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:12,980
TRUMP COULD BECOME "AMERICA'S

401
00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:13,659
HITLER."

402
00:11:13,659 --> 00:11:15,919
AND YET, JUST A FEW YEARS LATER,

403
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:17,260
HE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR SENATE

404
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:19,640
ALONGSIDE TRUMP, AND ADOPTING A

405
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,440
VERY DIFFERENT TONE -- SOMETHING

406
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280
THAT DIDN'T GO UNNOTICED.

407
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,996
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

408
00:11:23,996 --> 00:11:25,814
HE'S A GUY THAT SAID SOME BAD

409
00:11:25,899 --> 00:11:27,220
SHIT ABOUT ME.

410
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:28,680
HE DID.

411
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,800
COME ON UP, JD.

412
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:31,008
>> THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT.

413
00:11:31,089 --> 00:11:32,237
I WASN'T ALWAYS NICE, BUT THE

414
00:11:32,660 --> 00:11:34,520
SIMPLE FACT IS HE'S THE BEST

415
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,000
PRESIDENT OF MY LIFETIME.

416
00:11:36,339 --> 00:11:37,720
AND HE REVEALED THE CORRUPTION

417
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,540
IN THIS COUNTRY LIKE NOBODY

418
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:40,000
ELSE.

419
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,900
>> John: I MEAN, I GUESS THAT'S

420
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:42,900
TRUE.

421
00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:45,560
DONALD TRUMP DEFINITELY REVEALED

422
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:46,860
CORRUPTION IN THIS COUNTRY LIKE

423
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:47,470
NOBODY ELSE.

424
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:49,240
IN THE SAME WAY NO ONE TAUGHT US

425
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,520
MORE ABOUT WHAT A PONZI SCHEME

426
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,180
IS THAN BERNIE MADOFF.

427
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,620
IT'S TRUE, JUST NOT IN THE WAY I

428
00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:55,800
THINK YOU'RE IMPLYING.

429
00:11:55,867 --> 00:11:56,867
AND VANCE HAS TURNED OUT TO BE

430
00:11:56,887 --> 00:11:58,350
PERFECT FOR TRUMP, AS IN MANY

431
00:11:58,417 --> 00:11:59,417
WAYS, HE'S BECOME LIKE A SON

432
00:11:59,417 --> 00:11:59,982
TRUMP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO

433
00:11:59,982 --> 00:12:03,451
PRETEND TO LOVE.

434
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,839
AND AS VP, HE'S SERVED

435
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:07,180
DUTIFULLY, OFTEN RECEDING INTO

436
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:09,020
THE BACKGROUND, BUT WILLING TO

437
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:10,240
BE AN ATTACK DOG WHEN NEEDED --

438
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,380
LIKE WHEN HE DEMANDED ZELENSKY

439
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:13,220
SAY THANK YOU TO TRUMP IN THE

440
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,079
OVAL OFFICE.

441
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:16,280
HE'S ALSO RELENTLESSLY DEFENDED

442
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,640
HIS BOSS'S MOVES, EVEN WHEN THEY

443
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,393
DIRECTLY CONTRADICT HIS PRIOR

444
00:12:19,393 --> 00:12:20,102
BELIEFS, LIKE HIS

445
00:12:20,102 --> 00:12:20,882
ANTI-INTERVENTIONIST APPROACH TO

446
00:12:20,882 --> 00:12:22,734
FOREIGN POLICY.

447
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,480
WHEN PEOPLE CRITICIZED LAST

448
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,990
YEAR'S U.S. STRIKES IN THE

449
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:27,240
WATERS OFF VENEZUELA, CALLING

450
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,920
THEM A WAR CRIME, HE REPLIED ON

451
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,440
TWITTER, "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT

452
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,440
WHAT YOU CALL IT."

453
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:32,880
AND WHEN TRUMP DECIDED TO FIRST

454
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,480
STRIKE IRAN LAST YEAR, VANCE

455
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,980
DEFENDED HIM, AND DIDN'T EVEN

456
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:37,660
TRY TO COME UP WITH A GOOD

457
00:12:38,527 --> 00:12:39,910
RATIONALIZATION.

458
00:12:39,957 --> 00:12:40,982
>> I CERTAINLY EMPATHIZE WITH

459
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:42,412
AMERICANS WHO ARE EXHAUSTED

460
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:44,720
AFTER 25 YEARS OF FOREIGN

461
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,780
ENTANGLEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE

462
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:46,220
EAST.

463
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:48,240
I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN, BUT

464
00:12:49,241 --> 00:12:50,785
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT BACK

465
00:12:50,785 --> 00:12:51,780
THEN, WE HAD DUMB PRESIDENTS,

466
00:12:51,780 --> 00:12:53,160
AND NOW WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO

467
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,700
ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO ACCOMPLISH

468
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:55,960
AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY

469
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,476
OBJECTIVES.

470
00:12:56,476 --> 00:12:57,708
>> John: YEAH!

471
00:12:57,764 --> 00:12:58,996
IT WASN'T OKAY BEFORE, BECAUSE

472
00:12:58,996 --> 00:12:59,913
THE PRESIDENTS WERE STUPID HEADS

473
00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:01,574
WHO ATE DUMB FOR BREAKFAST, BUT

474
00:13:01,574 --> 00:13:02,147
NOW, WE HAVE A BIG STRONG REAL

475
00:13:02,147 --> 00:13:04,582
ESTATE DEVELOPER AND STEAK

476
00:13:05,099 --> 00:13:06,200
SALESMAN TO GIVE US THE NATIONAL

477
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,380
SECURITY EXPERTISE WE NEED, SO

478
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:09,420
IT'S COMPLETELY FINE.

479
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,300
AND LOOK, OBVIOUSLY SOME OF

480
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:13,780
THAT'S JUST PART OF BEING VICE

481
00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:14,200
PRESIDENT.

482
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,660
YOU HAVE TO ROLL OVER FOR YOUR

483
00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:15,960
BOSS.

484
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,960
BUT IT'S WORTH REMEMBERING --

485
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:19,240
VANCE HAS AN INSIDE TRACK TO THE

486
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,440
OVAL OFFICE IN THE FUTURE.

487
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,300
NOT ONLY BECAUSE POLLS SHOW HIM

488
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:23,520
LEADING THE REPUBLICAN FIELD FOR

489
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,760
2028, BUT ALSO BECAUSE IF, THIS

490
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,020
GUY DOESN'T MAKE IT THROUGH HIS

491
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,880
TERM -- EITHER BECAUSE THE 25TH

492
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,000
AMENDMENT GOT INVOKED, OR HIS

493
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,770
INTERNAL ORGANS DECIDED, "YOU

494
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:32,940
KNOW WHAT, DUDE, CAN'T KEEP

495
00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:34,120
DOING THIS TO US, WE'RE OUT" --

496
00:13:35,260 --> 00:13:37,000
JD VANCE WILL BECOME PRESIDENT.

497
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,109
SO BEFORE THINGS REACH THAT

498
00:13:39,109 --> 00:13:40,700
POINT, IT FEELS LIKE TONIGHT, IT

499
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:41,920
MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING AT

500
00:13:42,099 --> 00:13:43,480
JD VANCE, WHAT HE STANDS FOR,

501
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,138
AND WHO HE MIGHT BE WITHOUT

502
00:13:45,138 --> 00:13:46,602
TRUMP.

503
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:47,839
AND I'LL SKIP OVER HIS EARLY

504
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:48,839
LIFE, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN

505
00:13:48,839 --> 00:13:49,646
WELL-CHRONICLED IN HIS

506
00:13:49,646 --> 00:13:50,209
BESTSELLING MEMOIR,

00:13:50,209 --> 00:13:51,543

00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,140
STORY SHORT, HE WAS RAISED IN

514
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:02,020

515
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:03,140
OPIOID ADDICTION, AND HIS

516
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:04,319
LOUD-MOUTHED GRANDMOTHER, BEFORE

517
00:14:04,319 --> 00:14:05,579
A STINT IN THE MILITARY IN IRAQ,

518
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:07,299
AND ATTENDING YALE LAW SCHOOL.

519
00:14:07,299 --> 00:14:08,160
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, YOU

520
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,760
CAN READ THE BOOK, OR JUST WATCH

521
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,280
THE MOVIE ADAPTATION, FEATURING

522
00:14:11,380 --> 00:14:12,460

GRANDMOTHER CATCHES VANCE

524
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:15,599
SMOKING WEED AND DECIDES TO

525
00:14:15,599 --> 00:14:16,341
RAISE HIM HERSELF.

526
00:14:16,341 --> 00:14:17,704
>> OH, I DON'T GIVE A RAT FART

527
00:14:17,768 --> 00:14:20,556
WHAT YOU'RE SMOKING, KID.

528
00:14:20,620 --> 00:14:21,760
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HIDING IT,

529
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:22,960
HONEY, YOU'RE DUMB AS A BAG OF

530
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,579
HAIR.

531
00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:24,579
PACK UP.

532
00:14:24,579 --> 00:14:25,457
>> FOR WHAT?

533
00:14:25,457 --> 00:14:27,463
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

534
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:28,519
>> I'M TAKING HIM.

535
00:14:28,598 --> 00:14:29,719
>> WHERE?

536
00:14:29,798 --> 00:14:31,518
>> TO LIVE WITH ME.

537
00:14:31,599 --> 00:14:32,819
AND IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH

538
00:14:32,819 --> 00:14:34,180
THAT, YOU CAN TALK TO THE BARREL

539
00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:34,837
OF MY GUN.

540
00:14:34,837 --> 00:14:36,798
>> John: LISTEN.

541
00:14:37,578 --> 00:14:37,919
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN.

542
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,639
THIS IS A PRO GLENN CLOSE SHOW,

00:14:43,775 --> 00:14:45,305
THAT BEING SAID -- NO.

545
00:14:45,538 --> 00:14:47,421
I DO NOT LIKE WHAT I'M SEEING

546
00:14:47,457 --> 00:14:48,457

560
00:15:07,118 --> 00:15:07,487
BUTT.

561
00:15:07,487 --> 00:15:08,340
♪ ♪

562
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:10,841
>> John: YEAH.

563
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:12,740
THAT WAS EIGHT-TIME

564
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:14,340
OSCAR NOMINEE GLENN CLOSE,

565
00:15:14,860 --> 00:15:16,540
DOING DA BUTT ON CAMERA.

566
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:18,420
SO "HILLBILLY ELEGY" WAS A

567
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:19,740
TERRIBLE FILM, BUT LET'S NOT SAY

568
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:21,020
IT DIDN'T GIVE US ANYTHING.

569
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,420
ANYWAY, VANCE'S BOOK HIT STORES

570
00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:24,920
DURING TRUMP'S FIRST RUN FOR THE

571
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,819
WHITE HOUSE, MAKING HIM A HOT

572
00:15:25,819 --> 00:15:27,640
COMMODITY FOR NEWS SHOWS LOOKING

573
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,610
FOR SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN THE

574
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:29,840
GRIEVANCES OF THE WHITE WORKING

575
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,259
CLASS.

576
00:15:30,259 --> 00:15:32,220
AND AT THE TIME, HE STRUCK WHAT

577
00:15:32,220 --> 00:15:33,959
SEEMED TO BE A FAIRLY MODERATE

578
00:15:33,959 --> 00:15:34,412
TONE.

579
00:15:34,412 --> 00:15:37,045
>> I THINK THAT THIS ELECTION IS

580
00:15:37,116 --> 00:15:38,127
REALLY HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT

581
00:15:38,199 --> 00:15:39,360
ESPECIALLY ON THE WHITE WORKING

582
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,940
CLASS, RIGHT?

583
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:40,980
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF THESE

584
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:42,900
GRIEVANCES ARE LEGITIMATE, BUT

585
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:44,199
WHAT IT'S DOING IS IT'S GIVING

586
00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:45,380
PEOPLE AN EXCUSE TO POINT THE

587
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:46,639
FINGER AT SOMEONE ELSE.

588
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:48,460
IT'S POINT THE FINGER AT MEXICAN

589
00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:50,440
IMMIGRANTS, OR CHINESE TRADE, OR

590
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,020
THE DEMOCRATIC ELITES OR

591
00:15:52,020 --> 00:15:52,940
WHATEVER ELSE.

592
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:55,000
AND SOMETIMES THESE VILLAINS ARE

593
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:55,679
LEGITIMATE.

594
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:57,160
I THINK IT'S TOTALLY FAIR TO SAY

595
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,650
THAT THE POLICY ELITES OF THE

596
00:15:58,650 --> 00:15:59,480
DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVEN'T BEEN

597
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,000
TOTALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE

598
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
WHITE WORKING CLASS.

599
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,520
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

600
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,480
FUNDAMENTALLY WHAT'S GOING ON

601
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,860
AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE

602
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:08,540
IS CHANGE THE FOCUS OF THE WHITE

603
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:10,500
WORKING CLASS FROM A SORT OF

604
00:16:10,659 --> 00:16:11,600
ENGAGED AND CONSTRUCTIVE

605
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,319
POLITICS TO A POLITICS OF

606
00:16:13,319 --> 00:16:13,998
POINTING THE FINGER.

607
00:16:13,998 --> 00:16:15,930
>> John: WATCHING THAT NOW

608
00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:17,173
FEELS WEIRD NOW FOR A NUMBER

609
00:16:17,173 --> 00:16:18,140
OF REASONS.

610
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:20,079
FIRST, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LONG

611
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:21,600
FOR JD VANCE'S BEARD.

612
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,740
BUT IT TURNS OUT THE THING NONE

613
00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:25,339
OF US NEEDED FROM HIM WAS "MORE

614
00:16:25,339 --> 00:16:26,339
FACE."

615
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:27,900
WITHOUT A BEARD, HE LOOKS LIKE

616
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:29,260
RADIO SHACK'S ASSISTANT STORE

617
00:16:29,260 --> 00:16:30,660
MANAGER OF THE YEAR 1998.

618
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,819
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'D PLAY CARTMAN

619
00:16:32,819 --> 00:16:34,440
IN A LIVE-ACTION "SOUTH PARK"

620
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:34,780
MOVIE.

621
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,200
BUT ALSO, IT'S STRANGE TO SEE

622
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,339
SUCH A NUANCED TONE FROM A GUY

623
00:16:39,339 --> 00:16:41,220
WHO'S SINCE BECOME SUCH A TROLL.

624
00:16:41,819 --> 00:16:43,420
IT'D BE LIKE FINDING OLD VIDEOS

625
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,140
OF YOUR DOG EATING WITH A FORK

626
00:16:45,140 --> 00:16:47,120
AND A KNIFE -- WHAT THE FUCK?

627
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,600
YESTERDAY I WATCHED YOU TAKE A

628
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,100
SHIT AND THEN EAT IT MOUTH

629
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:51,819
FIRST.

630
00:16:51,819 --> 00:16:53,640
HOW ON EARTH DID WE GET FROM

631
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,760
THIS TO THAT?

632
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:57,460
AND WHILE THAT MAY SOUND LIKE A

633
00:16:57,460 --> 00:16:59,020
FAIRLY EVEN-HANDED CRITIQUE,

634
00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:00,980
SINCE THEN, VANCE HAS CLEARLY

635
00:17:00,980 --> 00:17:02,819
PICKED A SIDE BETWEEN BLAMING

636
00:17:02,819 --> 00:17:04,160
"THE ELITES OF THE DEMOCRATIC

637
00:17:04,843 --> 00:17:05,843
PARTY" AND "FINGER-POINTING

638
00:17:05,843 --> 00:17:06,500
REPUBLICANS."

639
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,000
AND SOME OF THAT MAY HAVE TO DO

640
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,200
WITH HIS MENTOR, PETER THIEL,

641
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:11,280
THE CO-FOUNDER OF PAYPAL AND

642
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,720
PALANTIR, AND A MAN WHO LOOKS

643
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,260
LIKE HE GOT STUCK TRYING TO

644
00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:15,800
ANIMORPH BETWEEN MARK ZUCKERBERG

645
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,920
AND ELON MUSK.

646
00:17:16,997 --> 00:17:18,655
VANCE HAS SAID OF THIEL THAT,

647
00:17:18,731 --> 00:17:19,811
"IF THERE'S SOMETHING

648
00:17:19,887 --> 00:17:21,547
INTERESTING GOING ON, AND I WANT

649
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:23,281
TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF A VERY

650
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,760
FASCINATING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE

651
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,618
PERSON, I'LL GIVE HIM A CALL."

652
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,540
WHICH IS WORRYING GIVEN THIEL

653
00:17:28,540 --> 00:17:30,079
HOLDS SOME TROUBLING VIEWS.

654
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:31,740
IN 2009, HE WROTE THAT HE NO

655
00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:32,900
LONGER BELIEVED THAT FREEDOM AND

656
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:34,219
DEMOCRACY WERE COMPATIBLE, AND

657
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:35,300
MORE RECENTLY, CALLED THE QUEST

658
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,800
FOR DIVERSITY, "VERY EVIL," AS

659
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,940
WELL AS GIVING MULTIPLE LECTURES

660
00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:40,180
AROUND THE IDEA THAT CRITICS OF

661
00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:41,359
TECHNOLOGY OR AI ARE

662
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:42,800
"LEGIONNAIRES OF THE

663
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:44,300
ANTICHRIST."

664
00:17:44,659 --> 00:17:47,079
THIEL'S A HUGE INFLUENCE ON

665
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:48,280
VANCE, WHO'S ATTRIBUTED PRETTY

666
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,060
MUCH HIS ENTIRE CAREER TO

667
00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:51,060
THIEL'S MENTORSHIP.

668
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,740
THEY MET WHEN THIEL SPOKE AT

669
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:54,260
YALE WHEN VANCE WAS A STUDENT.

670
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:55,800
AND THIEL LATER WOUND UP HIRING

671
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,150
HIM, AND EVENTUALLY INVESTING IN

672
00:17:57,150 --> 00:17:58,229
HIS VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM.

673
00:17:58,229 --> 00:18:00,120
HE THEN BACKED VANCE'S 2022

674
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:01,680
SENATE CAMPAIGN WITH, AT THAT

675
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,529
POINT, THE LARGEST AMOUNT GIVEN

676
00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:05,180
TO A SINGLE CANDIDATE IN

677
00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:06,260
CONGRESSIONAL HISTORY.

678
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:08,300
THAT CAMPAIGN, BY THE WAY, GAVE

679
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:09,595
US THIS POLITICAL AD WITH AN

680
00:18:09,595 --> 00:18:12,539
ICONIC OPENING LINE -- WRITTEN

681
00:18:12,649 --> 00:18:14,188
BY VANCE HIMSELF -- THAT SOMEHOW

682
00:18:14,299 --> 00:18:16,220
GETS WORSE FROM THERE.

683
00:18:16,305 --> 00:18:18,147
>> ARE YOU A RACIST?

684
00:18:18,231 --> 00:18:20,073
DO YOU HATE MEXICANS?

685
00:18:20,159 --> 00:18:21,740
THE MEDIA CALLS US RACIST FOR

686
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:22,860
WANTING TO BUILD TRUMP'S WALL.

687
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:25,000
THEY CENSOR US BUT IT DOESN'T

688
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
CHANGE THE TRUTH.

689
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:27,880
JOE BIDEN'S OPEN BORDER IS

690
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,680
KILLING OHIOANS, WITH MORE

691
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,139
ILLEGAL DRUGS AND MORE DEMOCRAT

692
00:18:31,299 --> 00:18:31,648
VOTERS POURING INTO THIS

693
00:18:31,648 --> 00:18:33,119
COUNTRY.

694
00:18:33,139 --> 00:18:34,400
THIS ISSUE IS PERSONAL.

695
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,620
I NEARLY LOST MY MOTHER TO THE

696
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:37,960
POISON COMING ACROSS OUR BORDER.

697
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:39,680
NO CHILD SHOULD GROW UP AN

698
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,380
ORPHAN.

699
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:42,240
I'M JD VANCE AND I APPROVE THIS

700
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,580
MESSAGE BECAUSE WHATEVER THEY

701
00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:45,580
CALL US, WE WILL PUT AMERICA

702
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:46,156
FIRST.

703
00:18:46,156 --> 00:18:48,371
>> John: THAT WHOLE AD HAS A

704
00:18:48,371 --> 00:18:49,320
TERRIBLE VIBE.

705
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,880
AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING COULD

706
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,350
FIX IT.

707
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:52,260
NOT EVEN THE FACT YOU COULD SING

708
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:53,600
THE BEGINNING TO THE OPENING OF

709
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,340
"BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" AND IT SCANS

710
00:18:55,340 --> 00:18:56,340
PERFECTLY.

711
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,339
"ARE YOU A RACIST?

712
00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:01,019
DO YOU HATE MEXICANS?"

713
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,420
TWO QUESTIONS, BY THE WAY, HE

714
00:19:04,420 --> 00:19:05,900
NEVER ENDS UP ANSWERING.

715
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,840
IT WAS DURING THAT CAMPAIGN THAT

716
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,040
VANCE MADE THAT APPEARANCE WITH

717
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,240
TRUMP YOU SAW EARLIER.

718
00:19:10,260 --> 00:19:11,820
AND I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHAT

719
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520
HAPPENED TO HIM BETWEEN 2016 AND

720
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:14,980
THAT MOMENT.

721
00:19:14,980 --> 00:19:16,659
BUT SADLY, I'M NOT A MIND-READER

722
00:19:16,659 --> 00:19:18,000
OR THE THERAPIST HE SO

723
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
DESPERATELY NEEDS.

724
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,200
VANCE WILL CLAIM IT'S BECAUSE HE

725
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,280
BELIEVED TRUMP TURNED OUT TO BE

726
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,780
A GREAT PRESIDENT IN HIS FIRST

727
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:24,120
TERM.

728
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:25,820
OTHERS MIGHT SAY HE'S A POWER

729
00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:27,040
HUNGRY LADDER CLIMBER WHO SAW

730
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,460
THAT THE MAGA RIGHT WAS THE ONLY

731
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:28,940
WAY UP.

732
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:31,220
BUT I'D ARGUE HIS SHIFT WAS BOTH

733
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:33,200
OPPORTUNISTIC AND GENUINE --

734
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:35,300
BECAUSE VANCE HAS SEEMED TO HAVE

735
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,659
JOURNEYED FARTHER AND FARTHER

736
00:19:36,659 --> 00:19:38,560
INTO SOME PRETTY FAR-RIGHT

737
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,040
THOUGHT.

738
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,200
CHRIS RUFO, THE CONSERVATIVE

739
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,460
ACTIVIST, HAS JOKINGLY DESCRIBED

740
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:42,940
VANCE'S EVOLUTION AS TAKING HIM

741
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:44,239
"FROM THE PAGES OF NATIONAL

742
00:19:44,239 --> 00:19:46,080
REVIEW TO THE FEVER SWAMP OF

RIGHT-WING TWITTER."

744
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,760
AND VANCE HIMSELF HAS SAID HE'S

745
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,159
"PLUGGED INTO A LOT OF WEIRD,

746
00:19:50,159 --> 00:19:52,250
RIGHT-WING SUBCULTURES," WHICH

747
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:53,139
ISN'T SOMETHING YOU WANT TO HEAR

748
00:19:53,139 --> 00:19:55,100
FROM YOUR TINDER DATE, LET ALONE

749
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:56,740
THE FUCKING VICE PRESIDENT.

750
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,659
IN FACT, IN MANY WAYS, HE'S

751
00:19:58,659 --> 00:20:00,280
BECOME THE ARCHETYPE OF THE

752
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,740
HYPER-ONLINE CONSERVATIVE TROLL

753
00:20:01,816 --> 00:20:03,457
-- RIGHT DOWN TO THE WHOLE

754
00:20:03,457 --> 00:20:04,220
"KIDDING/NOT-KIDDING" "TRIGGER

755
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:05,259
THE LIBS" SHTICK.

756
00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:06,960
JUST WATCH HIM BRAG ABOUT DOING

757
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,040
EXACTLY THAT, AT AN EVENT A FEW

758
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,570
YEARS AGO.

759
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:11,648
>> I GOT MYSELF INTO A LITTLE

760
00:20:11,719 --> 00:20:13,259
HOT WATER LAST WEEK BECAUSE I

761
00:20:13,331 --> 00:20:15,408
MADE WHAT -- WHAT SEEMED TO ME A

762
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:18,700
PLAINLY OBVIOUS OBSERVATION THAT

763
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,060
ALEX JONES, THE "INFOWARS" GUY,

764
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,260
IS A BETTER SOURCE OF

765
00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:23,420
INFORMATION THAN RACHEL MADDOW,

766
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:24,920
THE MSNBC GAL.

767
00:20:25,780 --> 00:20:27,679
NOW, SOME PEOPLE SAID, WELL JD,

768
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,800
YOU'RE JUST TROLLING.

769
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,320
WELL, YEAH OF COURSE, I WAS JUST

770
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,320
TROLLING.

771
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,320
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WHAT

772
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,860
I SAID WAS IN ANY WAY UNTRUE.

773
00:20:34,922 --> 00:20:37,765
>> John: OKAY, SO WITH ALL DUE

774
00:20:37,765 --> 00:20:38,765
RESPECT -- WHICH, TO BE

775
00:20:38,797 --> 00:20:41,155
PERFECTLY CLEAR, IS NONE --

776
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:43,100
SAYING THAT ALEX "A BILLION

777
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,440
DOLLARS IN DEFAMATION DAMAGES"

778
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:46,159
JONES IS A BETTER SOURCE OF

779
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:47,400
INFORMATION THAN RACHEL MADDOW

780
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,400
IS LAUGHABLE.

781
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,020
THE MAN'S ENTIRE BRAND WAS

782
00:20:50,214 --> 00:20:51,214
CALLED "INFO WARS!"

783
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:53,159
ALSO, CALLING "RACHEL MADDOW,

784
00:20:53,159 --> 00:20:55,780
THE MSNBC GAL" IS OFF BASE FOR

785
00:20:55,780 --> 00:20:56,880
SO MANY REASONS, INCLUDING THAT

786
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,080
SHE DOES NOT REMOTELY GIVE OFF

787
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,980
THE BREEZY ENERGY YOU ASSOCIATE

788
00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:00,920
WITH THAT WORD.

789
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,440
JULIA ROBERTS, THAT'S A GAL.

790
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,679
REESE WITHERSPOON, DEFINITELY A

791
00:21:04,679 --> 00:21:04,920
GAL.

792
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,820
PAUL RUDD?

793
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:07,120
SUCH A GAL.

794
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:09,260
RACHEL MADDOW?

795
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,600
NOT SO MUCH.

796
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,040
AND VANCE WENT ON TO EXPAND ON

797
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,100
WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT.

798
00:21:14,299 --> 00:21:15,860
>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE

799
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:19,960
MOST IMPORTANT TRUTHS OFTEN COME

800
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,139
FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE CRAZY 60% OF

801
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:23,300
THE TIME, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT 40%

802
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,040
OF TIME.

803
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,080
I'M VERY CLOSE FRIENDS WITH

804
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,559
PETER THIEL.

805
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:26,480
I THINK PETER THIEL IS ONE OF

806
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,120
THE MOST IMPORTANT SOURCES OF

807
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,420
NON-CONVENTIONAL TRUTH IN OUR

808
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:30,360
SOCIETY.

809
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,020
PETER THIEL BELIEVES SOME THINGS

810
00:21:32,020 --> 00:21:33,980
THAT ARE CONSIDERED CRAZY BY

811
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:34,980
OPINION MAKERS.

812
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,240
WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM THIS

813
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,020
WEIRD TENSION THAT WE FEEL IN

814
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:40,880
OUR CHEST WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS

815
00:21:41,179 --> 00:21:42,360
THIS PERSON BELIEVES SOMETHING

816
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,820
CRAZY THEREFORE YOU MUST

817
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:44,500
DENOUNCE THEM.

818
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:46,659
BELIEVING CRAZY THINGS IS NOT

819
00:21:46,659 --> 00:21:48,440
THE MARK OF WHETHER SOMEBODY

820
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,440
SHOULD BE REJECTED.

821
00:21:49,780 --> 00:21:51,480
BELIEVING IMPORTANT TRUTHS

822
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,320
SHOULD BE THE MARK OF WHETHER WE

823
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,219
ACCEPT SOMEBODY.

824
00:21:54,219 --> 00:21:55,360
AND IF THEY BELIEVE SOME CRAZY

825
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,200
THINGS ON THE SIDE, THAT'S FINE.

826
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,500
WE NEED TO BE OKAY WITH

827
00:21:58,500 --> 00:21:59,540
NON-CONVENTIONAL PEOPLE.

828
00:21:59,668 --> 00:22:00,668
>> John: OKAY, SO HERE'S THE

829
00:22:00,784 --> 00:22:02,487
THING.

830
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:04,560
WE GENERALLY ARE OKAY WITH

831
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,560
NON-CONVENTIONAL PEOPLE.

832
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,600
I'D ARGUE SOME OF OUR BEST

833
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,399
PEOPLE ARE NON-CONVENTIONAL:

834
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,820
CINDY LAUPER, LADY GAGA, BARBRA

835
00:22:10,820 --> 00:22:12,940
STREISAND SHE CLONED HER DOG AND

836
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:14,408
HAS A TINY MALL IN THE BASEMENT

837
00:22:14,408 --> 00:22:15,082
OF HER HOUSE.

838
00:22:15,082 --> 00:22:16,660
BUT IF BABS CAME OUT AND SAID

839
00:22:17,139 --> 00:22:19,679
SANDY HOOK WAS STAGED, YOU'D BE

840
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:21,320
JUSTIFIED IN RETIRING YOUR DVD

841
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,340
COPY OF YENTL.

842
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,700
AND LOOK, IN SOME WAYS, THAT'S A

843
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:26,740
VERY CONVENIENT ARGUMENT FOR

844
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:27,960
HANGING OUT WITH ODIOUS PEOPLE.

845
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,580
"RELAX, I DON'T AGREE WITH

846
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:30,800
EVERYTHING THEY SAY, JUST THE

847
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,960
IMPORTANT TRUTHS."

848
00:22:32,659 --> 00:22:34,080
BUT IT'S WORTH KNOWING HOW

849
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,520
CLOSELY ALIGNED VANCE IS WITH

850
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,139
SOME PRETTY EXTREME THINKERS.

851
00:22:37,179 --> 00:22:38,260
HE'S CLOSE FRIENDS WITH THE

852
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:39,440
CONSERVATIVE WRITER ROD DREHER,

853
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:40,500
WHO'S SAID, AMONG OTHER THINGS,

854
00:22:41,454 --> 00:22:42,454
THAT "L.G.B.T. ACTIVISM IS THE

855
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,220
TIP OF THE SPEAR AT OUR THROATS

856
00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:45,220
IN THE CULTURE WAR."

857
00:22:45,439 --> 00:22:47,060
VANCE ALSO WROTE A GLOWING BLURB

858
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:48,420
FOR A BOOK CO-WRITTEN BY THE

859
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:49,032
FAR-RIGHT ACTIVIST

860
00:22:49,032 --> 00:22:50,032
JACK POSOBIEC, WHO PROMOTED THE

861
00:22:50,255 --> 00:22:52,563
PIZZAGATE HOAX.

862
00:22:53,385 --> 00:22:54,280
A BOOK CALLED "UNHUMANS," BY THE

863
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,960
WAY, A TERM IT USES FOR PEOPLE

864
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,860
ON THE LEFT, WHO IT SAYS UNDO

865
00:22:57,860 --> 00:22:59,380
CIVILIZATION ITSELF.

866
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,940
HE'S ALSO EXPRESSED ADMIRATION

867
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:01,980
FOR CURTIS YARVIN, A

868
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:02,980
SELF-PROCLAIMED "NEOREACTIONARY"

869
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
WHO'S NOT ONLY SAID THINGS LIKE,

870
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,679
WE SHOULD "PUT THE CHURCH BLACKS

871
00:23:06,679 --> 00:23:08,200
IN CHARGE OF THE GHETTO BLACKS,"

872
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,030
HE'S ALSO ARGUED FOR A POLICY HE

873
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:12,139
CALLED "RAGE" -- RETIRE ALL

874
00:23:12,139 --> 00:23:14,139
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES -- TO SEIZE

875
00:23:14,139 --> 00:23:15,300
AND CONSOLIDATE POWER.

876
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,120
THAT THOUGHT CLEARLY MADE IT

877
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,780
INTO VANCE'S HEAD, AND THEN

878
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:21,139
STRAIGHT BACK OUT OF HIS MOUTH

879
00:23:21,139 --> 00:23:22,200
DURING THIS INTERVIEW.

880
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:23,920
>> THERE'S THIS GUY CURTIS

881
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,700
YARVIN, WHO'S WRITTEN ABOUT SOME

882
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:27,300
OF THESE THINGS.

883
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,620
I THINK THAT WHAT TRUMP SHOULD

884
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:30,020
DO, LIKE IF I WAS GIVING HIM ONE

885
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:32,460
PIECE OF ADVICE, FIRE EVERY

886
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:34,080
SINGLE MID-LEVEL BUREAUCRAT,

887
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,360
EVERY CIVIL SERVANT IN THE

888
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:36,940
ADMINISTRATIVE STATE, REPLACE

889
00:23:36,940 --> 00:23:37,940
THEM WITH OUR PEOPLE.

890
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,198
AND WHEN THE COURTS-BECAUSE YOU

891
00:23:39,198 --> 00:23:40,581
WILL GET TAKEN TO COURT, AND

892
00:23:40,659 --> 00:23:42,240
THEN WHEN THE COURTS STOP YOU,

893
00:23:42,639 --> 00:23:44,220
STAND BEFORE THE COUNTRY, LIKE

894
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:45,780
ANDREW JACKSON DID, AND SAY THE

895
00:23:45,879 --> 00:23:46,879
CHIEF JUSTICE HAS MADE HIS

896
00:23:46,916 --> 00:23:48,119
RULING, NOW LET HIM ENFORCE IT.

897
00:23:48,191 --> 00:23:49,195
>> John: NOT IDEAL.

898
00:23:49,267 --> 00:23:51,347
AND WHILE MANY PEOPLE DO THINK

899
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:52,760
ANDREW JACKSON SAID THAT -- AS

900
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,480
PART OF HIS JUSTIFICATION,

901
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,920
INCIDENTALLY, FOR THE TRAIL OF

902
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,060
TEARS -- THERE'S NO EVIDENCE

903
00:23:57,060 --> 00:23:57,699
THAT HE DID.

904
00:23:57,699 --> 00:23:59,040
AND IF WE'RE GOING TO COMPLETELY

905
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,900
MAKE UP ANDREW JACKSON QUOTES,

906
00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:02,380
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE: THE CHIEF

907
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:04,120
JUSTICE HAS MADE HIS RULING, NOW

908
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:05,120
LET HIM ENFORCE IT...

909
00:24:05,159 --> 00:24:06,440
ALSO, I REALLY HOPE IN THE

910
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,659
FUTURE MY FANS ARE COOL.

911
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:09,820
IF MY HISTORICAL LEGACY IS TWO

912
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:11,300
FISH LIPPED WEIRD BEARDS BROING

913
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,320
OUT ABOUT ME ON A PODCAST, DO ME

914
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,380
A FAVOR, DIG ME UP AND KILL ME

915
00:24:15,380 --> 00:24:16,380
AGAIN.

916
00:24:16,679 --> 00:24:18,699
AND IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT, IN

917
00:24:18,699 --> 00:24:20,320
VANCE'S VAST AMOUNT OF TIME

918
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,840
ONLINE, HE'S ENDED UP PROMOTING

919
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,220
SOME FLAGRANTLY RACIST BULLSHIT.

920
00:24:24,679 --> 00:24:25,699
IT TENDS TO GET FORGOTTEN, BUT

921
00:24:25,699 --> 00:24:27,080
TRUMP'S WHOLE "THEY'RE EATING

922
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,139
THE DOGS, THEY'RE EATING THE

923
00:24:28,139 --> 00:24:29,377
CATS" MELTDOWN IN THE

924
00:24:29,377 --> 00:24:29,630
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE CAME AFTER

925
00:24:29,630 --> 00:24:33,387
VANCE ELEVATED A FALSE RUMOR

926
00:24:33,387 --> 00:24:34,062
THAT HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS IN

927
00:24:34,062 --> 00:24:35,076
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, WERE EATING

928
00:24:35,152 --> 00:24:36,203
PEOPLE'S PETS.

929
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,800
AND AFTER IT ALL BLEW UP -- AND

930
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,620
IT BECAME CLEAR THE WHOLE THING

931
00:24:39,620 --> 00:24:41,736
WAS TOTAL NONSENSE -- VANCE

932
00:24:41,736 --> 00:24:42,933
DOUBLED DOWN IN A PRETTY

933
00:24:43,146 --> 00:24:44,316
REVEALING WAY.

934
00:24:44,530 --> 00:24:47,506
>> WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE

935
00:24:47,506 --> 00:24:48,400
SAYING, MY PETS ARE BEING

936
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,340
ABDUCTED OR GEESE AT THE CITY

937
00:24:50,554 --> 00:24:51,047
POND ARE BEING ABDUCTED AND

938
00:24:51,047 --> 00:24:51,529
SLAUGHTERED RIGHT IN FRONT OF

939
00:24:51,529 --> 00:24:53,044
US.

940
00:24:53,044 --> 00:24:53,819
THIS IS CRAZY STUFF.

941
00:24:53,819 --> 00:24:56,740
AND AGAIN, WHETHER THOSE EXACT

942
00:24:57,139 --> 00:24:59,360
RUMORS TURN OUT TO BE MOSTLY

943
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,159
TRUE, SOMEWHAT TRUE, WHATEVER

944
00:25:01,159 --> 00:25:02,539
THE CASE MAY BE, KAITLAN, THIS

945
00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:05,920
TOWN HAS BEEN RAVAGED BY 20,000

946
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,920
MIGRANTS COMING IN.

947
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,920
HEALTHCARE COSTS ARE UP, HOUSING

948
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,320
COSTS ARE UP, COMMUNICABLE

949
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,820
DISEASES LIKE HIV AND TB HAVE

950
00:25:13,199 --> 00:25:14,600
SKYROCKETED IN THIS SMALL OHIO

951
00:25:14,987 --> 00:25:16,358
TOWN.

952
00:25:16,358 --> 00:25:17,115
THIS IS WHAT KAMALA HARRIS'S

953
00:25:17,115 --> 00:25:18,132
BORDER POLICIES HAVE DONE.

954
00:25:18,132 --> 00:25:19,080
AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING,

955
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,940
KAITLAN, THAT THE MEDIA DIDN'T

956
00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:23,330
CARE ABOUT THE CARNAGE WROUGHT

957
00:25:23,330 --> 00:25:25,280
BY THESE POLICIES UNTIL WE

958
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,240
TURNED IT INTO A MEME ABOUT

959
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:27,887
CATS.

960
00:25:27,887 --> 00:25:29,609
>> John: OKAY, FIRST, QUICK

961
00:25:29,656 --> 00:25:31,732
SHOUT OUT TO THIS LOOK ON

962
00:25:31,779 --> 00:25:33,179
KAITLIN COLLINS FACE.

963
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:35,020
BECAUSE HER EYES SAYING WHAT

964
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:36,199
WE'RE ALL THINKING THERE, WHICH

965
00:25:36,199 --> 00:25:38,960
IS "IS THIS GUY FOR FUCKING REAL

966
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,960
RIGHT NOW?"

967
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,000
SECOND, YOU DIDN'T "TURN IT INTO

968
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,880
A MEME ABOUT CATS."

969
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,500
YOU SHARED MISINFORMATION THAT

970
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,240
TURNED A WHOLE TOWN UPSIDE DOWN.

971
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,610
AND IT WASN'T EVEN THE FUN KIND

972
00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:48,720
OF MISINFORMATION, LIKE WHEN,

973
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,320
THAT SAME SUMMER, EVERYONE GOT

974
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,960
CONVINCED JD VANCE HAD FUCKED A

975
00:25:52,179 --> 00:25:53,580
COUCH -- A THEORY THAT WENT SO

976
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:55,300
VIRAL, IT LED TO US CALLING

977
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:57,840
VANCE'S TEAM AND ASKING "HAS THE

978
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,480
SENATOR EVER HAD SEX WITH A

979
00:25:59,521 --> 00:26:00,371
COUCH?"

980
00:26:00,371 --> 00:26:00,782
TO WHICH, BY THE WAY, THEY HUNG

981
00:26:00,782 --> 00:26:02,276
UP ON US.

982
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,880
WE THEN EMAILED THEM THE SAME

983
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,280
QUESTION, AS WELL AS ASKING,

984
00:26:05,420 --> 00:26:06,600
"WHAT ABOUT SEX WITH A LATEX

985
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,920
GLOVE STUFFED BETWEEN TWO COUCH

986
00:26:08,373 --> 00:26:14,003
CUSHIONS?"

987
00:26:14,003 --> 00:26:14,556
HAS SENATOR VANCE EVER HAD SEX

988
00:26:14,556 --> 00:26:15,025
WITH ANY OTHER FURNITURE OR

989
00:26:15,025 --> 00:26:15,355
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS?"

990
00:26:15,355 --> 00:26:15,880
AND "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO

991
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,211
ADD AT THIS TIME?"

992
00:26:16,211 --> 00:26:16,598
AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T

993
00:26:16,598 --> 00:26:16,820
RESPONDED.

994
00:26:16,820 --> 00:26:18,580
WHICH ISN'T EXACTLY A RESOUNDING

995
00:26:18,580 --> 00:26:19,159
"NO."

996
00:26:19,159 --> 00:26:20,060
IS IT?

997
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:21,940
AND IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S HARD TO

998
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:23,139
DENY YOU FUCKED A COUCH.

999
00:26:23,199 --> 00:26:24,380
IN FACT, IF YOU EMAIL

1000
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,900
IF I'VE FUCKED ONE -- I PROMISE,

1001
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:31,559
YOU'LL BE EMAILED RIGHT BACK,

1002
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:32,840
WITH AN ANSWER OF "NO WAY."

1003
00:26:33,099 --> 00:26:33,299
HasJohnOliverFuckedACouch@HasJoh

1004
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,697
ANYWAY, THAT EXCHANGE IS

1005
00:26:38,580 --> 00:26:39,139
NUTSHELL.

1006
00:26:39,139 --> 00:26:40,740
HE TOLD A RACIST LIE HE FOUND ON

1007
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:43,139
SOCIAL MEDIA, DOUBLED DOWN, THEN

1008
00:26:43,139 --> 00:26:44,221
TRIED TO PLAY THE "YOU ELITES

1009
00:26:44,221 --> 00:26:45,221
DON'T GET IT" CARD TO HUFF HIS

1010
00:26:45,284 --> 00:26:46,284
WAY OUT OF THE WHOLE THING.

1011
00:26:46,341 --> 00:26:48,807
AND AT THIS POINT, IT'S WORTH

1012
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:50,520
TALKING ABOUT WHERE JD VANCE'S

1013
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,940
POLITICAL EVOLUTION HAS TAKEN

1014
00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:52,220
HIM.

1015
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:53,800
BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY GRIM.

1016
00:26:54,420 --> 00:26:55,440
ON IMMIGRATION, HE'S ARGUED

1017
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,020
THAT, WHILE HE BEARS NO PERSONAL

1018
00:26:57,020 --> 00:26:58,040
ANIMUS TOWARD IMMIGRANTS,

1019
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,160
THEY'RE THE CAUSE OF MANY

1020
00:26:59,260 --> 00:27:00,850
PROBLEMS AMERICANS FACE -- HE'S

1021
00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:02,260
CLAIMED WE'RE BANKRUPTING A LOT

1022
00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:03,740
OF HOSPITALS BY FORCING THEM TO

1023
00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:04,879
PROVIDE CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO

1024
00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:06,360
DON'T HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE

1025
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:07,340
IN OUR COUNTRY.

1026
00:27:07,340 --> 00:27:08,179
AND HE'S SAID THAT "ILLEGAL

1027
00:27:08,179 --> 00:27:09,300
ALIENS COMPETING WITH AMERICANS

1028
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,000
FOR SCARCE HOMES IS ONE OF THE

1029
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,740
MOST SIGNIFICANT DRIVERS OF HOME

1030
00:27:12,740 --> 00:27:13,659
PRICES IN THE COUNTRY."

1031
00:27:13,659 --> 00:27:15,040
TWO ASSERTIONS, BY THE WAY, THAT

1032
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,199
HAVE BEEN SOUNDLY REJECTED BY

1033
00:27:17,199 --> 00:27:17,920
EXPERTS.

1034
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,159
AND WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT

1035
00:27:19,159 --> 00:27:20,440
IMMIGRANTS TO CONSERVATIVE

1036
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,960
AUDIENCES, THE MASK CAN SLIP ALL

1037
00:27:23,649 --> 00:27:24,774
THE WAY OFF.

1038
00:27:24,774 --> 00:27:25,499
>> THERE IS A LOGIC TO WHAT THE

1039
00:27:25,499 --> 00:27:27,548
DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO.

1040
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:28,699
IT'S DISGUSTING, BUT THERE'S A

1041
00:27:28,699 --> 00:27:30,159
LOGIC TO IT -- THEY WANT ILLEGAL

1042
00:27:30,159 --> 00:27:31,780
ALIENS TO STEAL EVERYBODY'S JOB

1043
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,179
AND NOW THEY WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS

1044
00:27:33,179 --> 00:27:34,240
TO STEAL EVERYBODY'S VOTE.

1045
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,179
IT IS TOTALLY REASONABLE AND

1046
00:27:36,179 --> 00:27:38,120
ACCEPTABLE FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS

1047
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:39,699
TO LOOK AT THEIR NEXT-DOOR

1048
00:27:40,074 --> 00:27:41,647
NEIGHBORS AND SAY, I WANT TO

1049
00:27:41,701 --> 00:27:42,888
LIVE NEXT TO PEOPLE WHO I HAVE

1050
00:27:42,943 --> 00:27:44,543
SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH.

1051
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,179
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE NEXT TO

1052
00:27:46,179 --> 00:27:47,980
FOUR FAMILIES OF STRANGERS.

1053
00:27:48,260 --> 00:27:50,440
LOOK, THE THING ON IMMIGRATION

1054
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,520
IS THAT NO ONE CAN AVOID THAT IT

1055
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,940
HAS MADE OUR SOCIETIES POORER,

1056
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,080
LESS SAFE, LESS PROSPEROUS, AND

1057
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,861
LESS ADVANCED.

1058
00:28:00,861 --> 00:28:02,061
>> John: OKAY, THAT'S JUST ROUTE

1059
00:28:02,203 --> 00:28:03,899
ONE BIGOTRY.

1060
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,380
ALSO, IT'S A BIT OF A TELL TO

1061
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:06,260
SAY YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO

1062
00:28:06,260 --> 00:28:08,159
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBORS AND HAVE

1063
00:28:08,159 --> 00:28:09,120
SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THEM.

1064
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,880
THAT ONLY REALLY MEANS ONE

1065
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,260
THING.

1066
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:13,280
AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I DON'T

1067
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,449
THINK MOST PEOPLE'S BIGGEST

1068
00:28:14,449 --> 00:28:16,340
PRIORITY IN NEIGHBORS IS HAVING

1069
00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:17,360
SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THEM.

1070
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:18,820
IT'S JUST HOPING AND PRAYING

1071
00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:20,002
THEY DON'T HAVE A CREEPY

1072
00:28:20,002 --> 00:28:21,002
TRAMPOLINE KID WHO STARES IN

1073
00:28:21,071 --> 00:28:24,547
YOUR WINDOWS.

1074
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,940
CAN YOU AT LEAST...

1075
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,440
CAN YOU JUST BOUNCE THE OTHER

1076
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,000
WAY?

1077
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,420
CAN YOU DO AN OTHER WAY BOUNCE?

1078
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,280
BUT REMARKS LIKE THOSE ARE PART

1079
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,060
OF A PATTERN OF VANCE EXPRESSING

1080
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:42,360
ANXIETY THAT IMMIGRANTS COULD

1081
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,200
REPLACE AMERICANS, WITH LINES

1082
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,760
LIKE, "YOU CAN'T HAVE SO MANY

1083
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,980
PEOPLE COMING TO THE COUNTRY AT

1084
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:48,240
A TIME WHEN OUR OWN FAMILIES

1085
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,860
AREN'T REPLICATING THEMSELVES."

1086
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:51,679
AND THAT GETS TO ANOTHER OF HIS

1087
00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:53,000
MAJOR OBSESSIONS, WHICH IS

1088
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,699
AMERICANS HAVING MORE CHILDREN.

1089
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,280
TO HEAR HIM TELL IT, IT'S AN

1090
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,480
EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.

1091
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,600
HE'S COMPLAINED ABOUT THE

1092
00:28:58,659 --> 00:29:00,300
CHILDLESS LEFT, AND SAID THE

1093
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:01,659
REJECTION OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY

1094
00:29:01,659 --> 00:29:02,600
IS PERHAPS THE MOST PERNICIOUS

1095
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,960
AND EVIL THING THE LEFT HAS

1096
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,400
DONE.

1097
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,730
WHICH IS BOTH UNTRUE, AND

1098
00:29:05,730 --> 00:29:07,017
RIDICULOUS.

1099
00:29:07,060 --> 00:29:08,380
THE MOST EVIL THING THE LEFT HAS

1100
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:10,020
EVER DONE WOULD BE, HANDS DOWN,

1101
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:12,560
THESE FUCKING CANDLES.

1102
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:16,460
BUT THIS IS A BIG DEAL TO VANCE.

1103
00:29:16,659 --> 00:29:18,159
OVER THE YEARS, HE'S REPEATEDLY

1104
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:19,639
FOCUSED ON PROMINENT DEMOCRATS

1105
00:29:19,639 --> 00:29:20,840
WHO DIDN'T, AT THAT POINT, HAVE

1106
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,320
KIDS -- AMONG THEM AOC AND PETE

1107
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,940
BUTTIGIEG -- TO DRAW SOME

1108
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:25,120
SWEEPING CONCLUSIONS.

1109
00:29:25,189 --> 00:29:27,272
>> THERE'S JUST THESE BASIC

1110
00:29:27,343 --> 00:29:29,533
CADENCES OF LIFE THAT I THINK

1111
00:29:29,605 --> 00:29:31,040
ARE REALLY POWERFUL AND REALLY,

1112
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,759
REALLY VALUABLE WHEN YOU HAVE

1113
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:33,059
KIDS IN YOUR LIFE.

1114
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:35,139
AND THE FACT THAT SO MANY

1115
00:29:35,139 --> 00:29:37,400
PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA'S

1116
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,699
LEADERSHIP CLASS, JUST DON'T

1117
00:29:38,699 --> 00:29:40,300
HAVE THAT IN THEIR LIVES, YOU

1118
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:41,880
KNOW, I WORRY THAT IT MAKES

1119
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,580
PEOPLE MORE SOCIOPATHIC AND

1120
00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:44,740
ULTIMATELY OUR WHOLE COUNTRY A

1121
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:48,199
LITTLE BIT LESS MENTALLY STABLE.

1122
00:29:48,199 --> 00:29:49,142
>> John: WOW.

1123
00:29:49,142 --> 00:29:53,125
"HAVING KIDS MAKES YOU MENTALLY

1124
00:29:53,184 --> 00:29:57,049
STABLE" IS SOMETHING ONLY

1125
00:29:57,049 --> 00:29:57,429
SOMEONE WHO IS NOT THE DEFAULT

1126
00:29:57,429 --> 00:29:58,429
PARENT WOULD SAY.

1127
00:29:58,639 --> 00:30:00,480
BECAUSE TRY WORKING A FULL-TIME

1128
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:01,659
JOB, ALWAYS TRACKING WHEN THE

1129
00:30:01,659 --> 00:30:02,559
DIAPERS ARE ABOUT TO RUN OUT,

1130
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:03,860
WHAT SIZE SHOES YOUR KIDS WEAR,

1131
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,060
WHAT THEY WON'T EAT FOR LUNCH AT

1132
00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:06,300
DAYCARE, WHICH TOY'S THEIR

1133
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:07,380
FAVORITE, WHEN THEIR DOCTORS

1134
00:30:07,380 --> 00:30:08,300
APPOINTMENTS ARE, WHEN PICTURE

1135
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:09,540
DAY IS, WHICH SONGS YOU HAVE TO

1136
00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:10,659
SING TO GET THEM TO SLEEP, HOW

1137
00:30:10,659 --> 00:30:11,889
MANY CHILD BIRTHDAY PARTIES YOU

1138
00:30:11,889 --> 00:30:12,860
HAVE TO ATTEND THIS WEEKEND AND

1139
00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:13,760
WHICH ONES SPECIFICALLY

1140
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,960
REQUESTED GIFTS, AND ALSO IF YOU

1141
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,060
LEAVE THE ROOM, YOUR CHILD WILL

1142
00:30:17,060 --> 00:30:18,420
SCREAM BLOODY MURDER BECAUSE

1143
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,800
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THEY WANT.

1144
00:30:19,940 --> 00:30:21,740
I'M NOT SAYING KIDS CAN'T GIVE

1145
00:30:21,740 --> 00:30:23,300
YOU A LOT OF THINGS -- LIKE JOY,

1146
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,199
PURPOSE, AND HAND FOOT AND MOUTH

1147
00:30:25,539 --> 00:30:28,060
DISEASE, BUT "MENTAL STABILITY"

1148
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:29,920
ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

1149
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,260
AND WHEN PRESSED ON THOSE

1150
00:30:32,260 --> 00:30:33,639
REMARKS A FEW YEARS LATER,

1151
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:35,720
VANCE'S ANSWER WASN'T GREAT.

1152
00:30:35,798 --> 00:30:36,891
>> YOUR POSITION ON THOSE FAMILY

1153
00:30:36,970 --> 00:30:38,063
VALUES HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF

1154
00:30:38,063 --> 00:30:38,727
SCRUTINY LATELY.

1155
00:30:38,727 --> 00:30:40,994
>> SURE.

1156
00:30:40,994 --> 00:30:41,813
>> YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT CHILDLESS

1157
00:30:41,813 --> 00:30:45,681
CAT LADIES.

1158
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,300
YOU'VE CALLED CHILDLESS PEOPLE

1159
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,139
SOCIOPATHIC, PSYCHOTIC,

1160
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,400
DERANGED.

1161
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,860
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE SAID THAT

1162
00:30:51,860 --> 00:30:54,020
THOSE COMMENTS WERE SARCASTIC.

1163
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,520
BUT IT'S HARD TO HEAR THOSE

1164
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,300
WORDS ENTIRELY AS A JOKE.

1165
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,100
WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK OF

1166
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:02,240
CHILDLESS WOMEN IN SOCIETY?

1167
00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:03,497
>> WELL, AS I SAID WHEN I MADE

1168
00:31:03,586 --> 00:31:04,844
THOSE COMMENTS -- AND LOOK, THEY

1169
00:31:04,933 --> 00:31:08,883
WERE DUMB COMMENTS.

1170
00:31:08,972 --> 00:31:10,095
I CERTAINLY -- I THINK MOST

1171
00:31:10,095 --> 00:31:11,100
PEOPLE PROBABLY WHO'VE WATCHED

1172
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:12,520
THIS HAVE SAID SOMETHING DUMB,

1173
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,300
HAVE SAID SOMETHING THAT THEY

1174
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,540
WISH THEY HAD PUT DIFFERENTLY.

1175
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:16,036
>> YOU SAID IT IN SEVERAL

1176
00:31:16,036 --> 00:31:17,612
DIFFERENT VENUES.

1177
00:31:17,612 --> 00:31:18,193
>> IN A VERY, VERY SHORT PERIOD

1178
00:31:18,193 --> 00:31:21,132
OF TIME.

1179
00:31:21,132 --> 00:31:23,720
>> John: OH, WELL, YOU HEARD IT

1180
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,740
HERE FIRST, FOLKS.

1181
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,500
IF YOU'RE MEAN, DUMB, AND WRONG,

1182
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,840
BUT IN RAPID SUCCESSION, IT'S

1183
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,840
ACTUALLY FINE.

1184
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,060
AND AS FOR "EVERYONE SAYS DUMB

1185
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:34,900
STUFF" -- NOT LIKE THAT, THEY

1186
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:35,860
DON'T!

1187
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:37,000
THE NORMAL DUMB STUFF PEOPLE

1188
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,080
REGRET IS USUALLY THINGS LIKE,

1189
00:31:38,299 --> 00:31:39,799
"ARMIE HAMMER IS THE NEXT

1190
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:41,139
DENIRO" OR "SURE, I'LL HAVE A

1191
00:31:41,139 --> 00:31:42,780
THIRD GORDITA CRUNCH," BUT NOT

1192
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,520
"CHILDLESS WOMEN ARE

1193
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360
SOCIOPATHS."

1194
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:48,980
AND IF VANCE REALLY DOES WANT TO

1195
00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:50,130
MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO

1196
00:31:50,130 --> 00:31:51,659
RAISE KIDS, THERE ARE THINGS HE

1197
00:31:51,659 --> 00:31:53,159
COULD SUPPORT, BUT HE HASN'T.

1198
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:55,600
AND SOME, HE'S ACTIVELY OPPOSED.

1199
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:57,100
FOR INSTANCE, HE'S RAILED

1200
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:58,380
AGAINST UNIVERSAL DAY CARE

1201
00:31:58,380 --> 00:31:59,860
POLICIES, CALLING IT A CLASS WAR

1202
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,400
AGAINST NORMAL PEOPLE AND THAT

1203
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,179
NORMAL AMERICANS WANT A FAMILY

1204
00:32:03,179 --> 00:32:04,659
POLICY THAT DOESN'T SHUNT THEIR

1205
00:32:04,659 --> 00:32:06,000
KIDS INTO CRAP DAYCARE.

1206
00:32:06,139 --> 00:32:07,540
AND ONE OF HIS SOLUTIONS FOR

1207
00:32:07,540 --> 00:32:09,740
HIGH DAY CARE COSTS WAS PRETTY

1208
00:32:10,019 --> 00:32:10,696
INFURIATING.

1209
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:11,425
>> ONE OF THE WAYS YOU MIGHT BE

1210
00:32:11,425 --> 00:32:12,423
ABLE TO RELIEVE A LITTLE BIT OF

1211
00:32:12,423 --> 00:32:14,074
THE PRESSURE ON PEOPLE WHO ARE

1212
00:32:14,151 --> 00:32:16,377
PAYING SO MUCH FOR DAYCARE IS,

1213
00:32:16,454 --> 00:32:19,832
MAKE IT SO THAT MAYBE GRANDMA

1214
00:32:19,832 --> 00:32:20,739
AND GRANDPA WANTS TO HELP OUT A

1215
00:32:20,739 --> 00:32:21,300
LITTLE BIT MORE.

1216
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:22,360
OR MAYBE THERE'S AN AUNT OR

1217
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,400
UNCLE THAT WANTS TO HELP OUT A

1218
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,080
LITTLE BIT MORE.

1219
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,520
IF THAT HAPPENS, YOU RELIEVE

1220
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,652
SOME OF THE PRESSURE ON ALL THE

1221
00:32:26,652 --> 00:32:27,019
RESOURCES THAT WE'RE SPENDING ON

1222
00:32:27,019 --> 00:32:28,019
DAY CARE.

1223
00:32:28,351 --> 00:32:29,204
>> John: HOLY SHIT, THAT'S

1224
00:32:29,204 --> 00:32:31,306
BRILLIANT!

1225
00:32:31,379 --> 00:32:32,780
HAVE FAMILY HELP!

1226
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,179
HOW DID NO ONE THINK OF THIS?

1227
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,880
JUST CALL THE GRANDPARENTS, WHO

1228
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,280
ARE DEFINITELY CLOSE BY AND

1229
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,280
ALIVE, OR MAYBE AN AUNT AND

1230
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:41,440
UNCLE WHO DON'T HAVE JOBS OR

1231
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,800
CHILDREN OF THEIR OWN TO DEAL

1232
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:42,980
WITH.

1233
00:32:42,980 --> 00:32:44,600
WE CAN NOW CLOSE EVERY DAY CARE

1234
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,900
IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE AMERICA'S

1235
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:47,847
MOST EYE-LINED BOY GENIUS JUST

1236
00:32:47,847 --> 00:32:49,665
CRACKED THE FUCKING CODE.

1237
00:32:49,940 --> 00:32:51,500
PACK A BUNCH OF FAMILY MEMBERS

1238
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:52,880
INTO YOUR HOUSE TO HELP OUT --

1239
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:54,179
NOT TOO MANY, THOUGH, OR

1240
00:32:54,419 --> 00:32:55,560
JD VANCE WILL GET NERVOUS IF

1241
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,560
HE LIVES NEXT DOOR!

1242
00:32:57,780 --> 00:32:59,659
AND WHILE HE'S GESTURED VAGUELY

1243
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,600
TOWARD FEDERAL MONEY TO

1244
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,990
INCENTIVIZE FAMILY TO HELP OUT,

1245
00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:05,699
I'LL POINT OUT: THAT HASN'T

1246
00:33:05,699 --> 00:33:06,239
HAPPENED.

1247
00:33:06,239 --> 00:33:07,920
IN FACT, THE ONLY CONCRETE

1248
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,300
ACTION HE TOOK DURING HIS TWO

1249
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:10,719
YEARS IN THE SENATE, WHEN IT

1250
00:33:10,719 --> 00:33:12,540
COMES TO CHILD CARE POLICY, WAS

1251
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,980
INTRODUCE THE FAILED FAIRNESS

1252
00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:15,380
FOR STAY-AT-HOME PARENTS ACT --

1253
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:17,000
WHICH FOCUSED ON HELPING PARENTS

1254
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,259
WHO DECIDED TO LEAVE THE

1255
00:33:18,259 --> 00:33:19,259
WORKFORCE ALTOGETHER.

1256
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,639
AND IF YOU'RE GETTING THE SENSE

1257
00:33:20,639 --> 00:33:22,440
THAT WHAT HE REALLY WANTS IS TO

1258
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,620
TURN THE CLOCK BACK TO THE

1259
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,800
1950S, YOU'RE GETTING WARMER.

1260
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,179
ESPECIALLY GIVEN HE'S ALSO

1261
00:33:27,179 --> 00:33:28,719
EXPRESSED RESERVATIONS ABOUT

1262
00:33:28,719 --> 00:33:29,719
NO-FAULT DIVORCE.

1263
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:32,029
>> AND THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT

1264
00:33:32,029 --> 00:33:33,020
TRICKS THAT, I THINK, THE SEXUAL

1265
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:34,750
REVOLUTION PULLED ON THE

1266
00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:36,400
AMERICAN POPULACE, WHICH IS THIS

1267
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,980
IDEA THAT, LIKE, WELL, OKAY,

1268
00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:38,940
THESE MARRIAGES WERE

1269
00:33:38,940 --> 00:33:40,699
FUNDAMENTALLY, YOU KNOW, THEY

1270
00:33:40,699 --> 00:33:42,500
WERE MAYBE EVEN VIOLENT, BUT

1271
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,060
CERTAINLY THEY WERE UNHAPPY, AND

1272
00:33:44,060 --> 00:33:46,039
SO GETTING RID OF THEM AND

1273
00:33:46,639 --> 00:33:47,980
MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO

1274
00:33:47,980 --> 00:33:49,420
SHIFT SPOUSES LIKE THEY CHANGE

1275
00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:50,920
THEIR UNDERWEAR, THAT'S GOING TO

1276
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,300
MAKE PEOPLE HAPPIER IN THE LONG

1277
00:33:52,391 --> 00:33:53,279
TERM.

1278
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:54,418
AND MAYBE IT WORKED OUT FOR THE

1279
00:33:54,418 --> 00:33:54,894
MOMS AND DADS, THOUGH I'M

1280
00:33:54,894 --> 00:33:56,006
SKEPTICAL.

1281
00:33:56,060 --> 00:33:57,699
BUT IT REALLY DIDN'T WORK OUT

1282
00:33:57,699 --> 00:33:58,889
FOR THE KIDS OF THOSE MARRIAGES.

1283
00:33:58,889 --> 00:34:01,000
>> John: YEAH, HE SAID WE

1284
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,159
SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT SO EASY

1285
00:34:02,159 --> 00:34:03,679
FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE VIOLENT

1286
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:04,179
MARRIAGES.

1287
00:34:04,179 --> 00:34:06,020
WHICH IS JUST WILD FOR MULTIPLE

1288
00:34:06,020 --> 00:34:07,239
REASONS, INCLUDING: YOU KNOW

1289
00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:08,659
WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE YOU COULD

1290
00:34:08,659 --> 00:34:09,659
EASILY GET A DIVORCE?

1291
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,520
SOME WOMEN WOULD KILL THEIR

1292
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,259
HUSBANDS.

1293
00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:14,159
BY MAKING DIVORCE EASY AND

1294
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:15,000
ACCESSIBLE, WHAT WE'VE

1295
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,440
DEFINITELY REDUCED IS THE AMOUNT

1296
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,659
OF WOMEN IN FABULOUS HATS WHO

1297
00:34:18,659 --> 00:34:20,659
CLAIMED "MY HUSBAND FELL ILL

1298
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:21,659
SUDDENLY."

1299
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,880
THAT'S NOT JUST A VICTORY FOR

1300
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,020
FEMINISM, IT'S A LIFESAVER FOR

1301
00:34:27,020 --> 00:34:28,400
SHITTY HUSBANDS EVERYWHERE.

1302
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,340
BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE.

1303
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:32,560
BECAUSE VANCE IS ALSO HARD-LINE

1304
00:34:32,980 --> 00:34:34,300
ANTI-ABORTION, AS HE EXPLAINED

1305
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,780
IN A RADIO INTERVIEW WHEN HE RAN

1306
00:34:35,780 --> 00:34:36,244
FOR SENATE.

1307
00:34:36,244 --> 00:34:39,137
>> SHOULD A WOMAN BE FORCED TO

1308
00:34:39,202 --> 00:34:44,561
CARRY A CHILD TO TERM AFTER SHE

1309
00:34:44,561 --> 00:34:45,252
HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF INCEST OR

1310
00:34:45,252 --> 00:34:46,106
RAPE?

1311
00:34:46,106 --> 00:34:47,092
>> LOOK, MY VIEW ON THIS HAS

1312
00:34:47,092 --> 00:34:47,717
BEEN VERY CLEAR, AND I THINK THE

1313
00:34:47,717 --> 00:34:48,243
QUESTION BETRAYS A CERTAIN

1314
00:34:48,243 --> 00:34:49,492
PRESUMPTION THAT'S WRONG.

1315
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,780
IT'S NOT WHETHER A WOMAN SHOULD

1316
00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:52,300
BE FORCED TO BRING A CHILD TO

1317
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:53,620
TERM, IT'S WHETHER A CHILD

1318
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:55,420
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LIVE, EVEN

1319
00:34:55,580 --> 00:34:57,600
THOUGH THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT

1320
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,159
CHILD'S BIRTH ARE SOMEHOW

1321
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:01,699
INCONVENIENT OR A PROBLEM TO THE

1322
00:35:01,699 --> 00:35:02,179
SOCIETY.

1323
00:35:02,179 --> 00:35:03,360
THE QUESTION REALLY TO ME IS

1324
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,360
ABOUT THE BABY.

1325
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,699
WE WANT WOMEN TO HAVE

1326
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:07,719
OPPORTUNITIES, WE WANT WOMEN TO

1327
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,520
HAVE CHOICES, BUT ABOVE ALL, WE

1328
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,159
WANT WOMEN -- AND YOUNG BOYS IN

1329
00:35:13,259 --> 00:35:14,739
THE WOMB -- TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO

1330
00:35:14,739 --> 00:35:15,128
LIFE.

1331
00:35:15,128 --> 00:35:16,955
>> John: OKAY, EVERY PART OF

1332
00:35:17,084 --> 00:35:19,734
THAT IS AWFUL, NOT JUST CALLING

1333
00:35:19,734 --> 00:35:20,880
BECOMING PREGNANT BY RAPE AN

1334
00:35:21,259 --> 00:35:22,540
"INCONVENIENCE," OR TAKING WOMEN

1335
00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:23,820
OUT OF THE PREGNANCY EQUATION

1336
00:35:23,820 --> 00:35:24,980
ALTOGETHER, BUT ALSO THE PHRASE,

1337
00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:26,880
"YOUNG BOYS IN THE WOMB."

1338
00:35:26,940 --> 00:35:30,099
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

1339
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,679
IF YOU CAN'T DISCUSS THE

1340
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:32,920
REALITIES OF PREGNANCY WITHOUT

1341
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,100
SOUNDING LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL

1342
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:35,480
FOOTBALL COACH SUBBING A HEALTH

1343
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,759
CLASS, DON'T COMMENT ON THEM AT

1344
00:35:37,759 --> 00:35:38,400
ALL.

1345
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,360
SO, THAT IS, AT LEAST IN PART,

1346
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,020
WHO JD VANCE IS.

1347
00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:44,159
AND I'D ARGUE IT'S REPELLENT.

1348
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:46,739
BUT THE DANGEROUS THING IS, HE'S

1349
00:35:46,739 --> 00:35:48,740
PROVEN HIMSELF ABLE TO HIDE THE

1350
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:50,559
WORST PART OF HIMSELF, AT

1351
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,300
MOMENTS WHEN THE MOST PEOPLE

1352
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:53,040
ARE WATCHING HIM.

1353
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,720
TAKE THE VP DEBATE, WHERE FOR

1354
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,680
90 MINUTES, HE MANAGED TO COME

1355
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,400
OFF AS MEASURED, REASONABLE, AND

1356
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,260
COMPASSIONATE.

1357
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:01,380
SEVERAL TIMES DURING IT TIM WALZ

1358
00:36:01,380 --> 00:36:03,040
ACTUALLY SAID, "I AGREE WITH

1359
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,740
YOU."

1360
00:36:03,740 --> 00:36:04,720
AND ONCE IT WAS OVER, MANY

1361
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,660
ANALYSTS SEEMED SURPRISED BY

1362
00:36:06,660 --> 00:36:07,390
WHAT THEY'D JUST SEEN.

1363
00:36:07,390 --> 00:36:09,322
>> LET'S FACE IT, VANCE LOOKED

1364
00:36:09,411 --> 00:36:10,670
VERY REASONABLE.

1365
00:36:10,759 --> 00:36:11,759
HE LOOKED RATIONAL.

1366
00:36:11,824 --> 00:36:13,702
>> HE SEEMED AT MANY MOMENTS TO

1367
00:36:13,767 --> 00:36:14,767
BE REASONABLE.

1368
00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:17,020
AND THAT WAS CLEARLY A CHANGE IN

1369
00:36:17,020 --> 00:36:17,331
TONE.

1370
00:36:17,331 --> 00:36:18,107
>> I WAS GETTING TEXTS FROM

1371
00:36:18,107 --> 00:36:19,607
DEMOCRATS PANICKED, QUITE

1372
00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:21,340
FRANKLY, WHO WERE SAYING, WOW,

1373
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:23,000
HE'S REALLY MODERATING HIMSELF

1374
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES.

1375
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,300
HE'S THE MOST LIKABLE HE'S EVER

1376
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:26,746
BEEN.

1377
00:36:26,746 --> 00:36:28,623
>> John: YEAH, IT'S TRUE!

1378
00:36:28,709 --> 00:36:29,826
EVEN THOUGH, FOR WHAT IT'S

1379
00:36:29,826 --> 00:36:30,780
WORTH, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT'S THE

1380
00:36:30,780 --> 00:36:32,120
HIGHEST BAR TO CLEAR.

1381
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,000
IS IT?

1382
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,060
IT'S BASICALLY SAYING THE

1383
00:36:34,060 --> 00:36:36,000
MUCINEX MASCOT IS MORE FUCKABLE

1384
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:36,820
THAN EVER.

1385
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:38,840
THAT'S NOT SAYING AS MUCH AS IT

1386
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,760
FRANKLY SHOULD.

1387
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,980
THE POINT HERE IS, WHEN THE NEXT

1388
00:36:41,980 --> 00:36:43,480
ELECTION ROLLS AROUND, IF HE CAN

1389
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,613
PUT THAT ACT BACK ON WHEN

1390
00:36:44,613 --> 00:36:45,613
EVERYONE'S LOOKING, WE MAY BE IN

1391
00:36:45,781 --> 00:36:48,197
TROUBLE.

1392
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,020
ALL OF WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO

1393
00:36:50,020 --> 00:36:51,220
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WHO

1394
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:52,260
JD VANCE ACTUALLY IS.

1395
00:36:52,340 --> 00:36:53,340
BECAUSE HE'LL PRESENT HIMSELF AS

1396
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:55,440
AN ANTI-ELITIST "MAN OF THE

1397
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,040
PEOPLE," BUT MUCH OF HIS

1398
00:36:57,220 --> 00:36:58,580
CAREER'S BEEN BANKROLLED BY TECH

1399
00:36:58,580 --> 00:36:59,320
BILLIONAIRES.

1400
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,119
HE'LL GO TO BAT FOR ALEX JONES,

1401
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,360
ARGUING WE SHOULD SHOW GRACE TO

1402
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,780
THOSE WHO ARE "40% RIGHT," BUT

1403
00:37:04,780 --> 00:37:06,240
HE'LL HAPPILY CO-SIGN ON

1404
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:07,240
CHILDLESS PEOPLE BEING

1405
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,792
SOCIOPATHS, AND THE LEFT BEING

1406
00:37:08,792 --> 00:37:10,910
"UNHUMANS."

1407
00:37:10,910 --> 00:37:10,980
HE'LL OFFER EMPATHY AND

1408
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:11,920
UNDERSTANDING WHEN IT COMES TO

1409
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,460
"NON-CONVENTIONAL" THINKERS, BUT

1410
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,820
HAS NO PROBLEM DERIDING

1411
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:16,640
IMMIGRANTS AS A NET NEGATIVE ON

1412
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,800
SOCIETY -- AND IT'S NOT HARD TO

1413
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,922
SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

1414
00:37:18,922 --> 00:37:21,092
THOSE GROUPS ARE.

1415
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,320
THE POINT IS, I KNOW VANCE IS

1416
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,600
EASY TO WRITE OFF AS A

1417
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,620
CHARISMA-LESS ASSHOLE, BUT

1418
00:37:26,620 --> 00:37:28,980
SCRATCH EVEN ONE INCH UNDER THE

1419
00:37:29,313 --> 00:37:31,710
SURFACE, PEEL BACK THE BEARD AND

1420
00:37:31,765 --> 00:37:33,345
YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING FAR WORSE:

1421
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,340
HIS BATSHIT VIEWS AND HIS BARE

1422
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:36,340
FUCKING FACE.

1423
00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:38,360
OH, AND ONE LAST THING:

1424
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,920
JD VANCE ALSO STUCK HIS DICK IN

1425
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,520
BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS OF A SOFA

1426
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,340
AND THRUST HIMSELF BACK AND

1427
00:37:46,340 --> 00:37:47,800
FORTH UNTIL CLIMAX.

1428
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:49,620
AND IF I MAY QUOTE THE MAN

1429
00:37:49,620 --> 00:37:50,080
HIMSELF.

1430
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,700
YEAH, OF COURSE I WAS JUST

1431
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:52,920
TROLLING BY SAYING THAT.

1432
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:55,480
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WHAT

1433
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,440
I SAID WAS IN ANY WAY UNTRUE.

1434
00:37:58,599 --> 00:37:59,960
AND NOW, THIS.

1435
00:37:59,998 --> 00:38:02,310
>> Announcer: AND NOW,

1436
00:38:02,350 --> 00:38:04,650
KELLY CLARKSON DOES NOT LIKE

1437
00:38:04,650 --> 00:38:05,650
HORROR MOVIES.

1438
00:38:05,653 --> 00:38:07,543
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW

1439
00:38:07,608 --> 00:38:09,986
MOVIE, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

1440
00:38:09,986 --> 00:38:10,986
IT'S SCARY RIGHT?

1441
00:38:10,986 --> 00:38:11,986
>> IT'S HORROR?

1442
00:38:12,006 --> 00:38:14,385
>> ARE YOU INTO HORROR?

1443
00:38:14,449 --> 00:38:15,655
>> I TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST

1444
00:38:15,721 --> 00:38:16,926
WITH PEOPLE ON MY COUCH WHEN

1445
00:38:16,991 --> 00:38:19,760
THEY ARE IN A HORROR FILM.

1446
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:20,760
>> HORROR MOVIES.

1447
00:38:20,803 --> 00:38:22,204
I WILL MY PANTS.

1448
00:38:22,269 --> 00:38:23,809
HOW ARE YOU WITH HORROR FILMS?

1449
00:38:23,969 --> 00:38:25,329
I DON'T WATCH THEM.

1450
00:38:25,769 --> 00:38:27,230
YOU LIKE WATCHING THEM?

1451
00:38:27,276 --> 00:38:28,762
>> NO, I DON'T PARK AT THE FIRST

1452
00:38:28,809 --> 00:38:30,409
ONE I WATCHED WAS GET OUT.

1453
00:38:30,533 --> 00:38:37,012
>> JOHNNY DEPP, THE WATER BED IN

1454
00:38:37,012 --> 00:38:38,012
FREDDY KRUEGER.

1455
00:38:38,081 --> 00:38:39,844
FREDDY KRUEGER WAS THE SCARIEST

1456
00:38:39,969 --> 00:38:41,449
THING I EVER SAW.

1457
00:38:41,569 --> 00:38:42,869
FREDDY KRUEGER WAS MY GUY.

1458
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:45,010
>> OH, MY GOD, WE ARE SO

1459
00:38:45,010 --> 00:38:45,606
DIFFERENT.

1460
00:38:45,606 --> 00:38:47,015
>> NO THANKS.

1461
00:38:47,230 --> 00:38:48,329
I DON'T DO SCARY.

1462
00:38:48,469 --> 00:38:49,489
I DON'T WATCH THEM.

1463
00:38:49,549 --> 00:38:50,549
I DON'T WATCH HORROR.

1464
00:38:50,569 --> 00:38:51,809
I'M LIKE PEACE OUT.

1465
00:38:51,904 --> 00:38:54,658
>> I LOVE HORROR.

1466
00:38:54,753 --> 00:38:56,082
>> NO, NO.

1467
00:38:56,178 --> 00:38:58,932
>> KELLY, WHY?

1468
00:38:59,027 --> 00:39:00,594
>> I SAW SOMETHING MY CHILDHOOD

1469
00:39:00,690 --> 00:39:01,730
AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A CHURCH AND
