Have fun. We'll see. After Butler, PA. And then, of course, I go back to home to Ohio. Oh, boy. He gets shot. You know, the initial reaction is, I actually thought they had killed him. Because when you first see the video, he grabs his ear and then he goes down and I'm like, oh my God, they just killed him. And I was. [00:00:16] So I mean, first I was so pissed. But then I go into like fight or flight mode with my kids. I'm like, you know, all right, kids, you know, we were at a we were at a mini golf place in Cincinnati, Ohio. I grabbed my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns and basically stand like a sentry at our front door. [00:00:35] That was my that was sort of my reaction to it anyway. So obviously, look, any violent attempt on the life of a prominent person in American politics is super scary. And so it's an area where I'm going to be much less critical of what a person like J.D. [00:00:50] Vance does. That said, I believe almost nothing about his accounting of that that he states away with standing as a sentry. I don't believe any of that. I don't really care. I don't think that's a reason to not support him or whatever. But the idea that he was that anger was his first reaction. [00:01:07] The most opportunistic man in America was pissed when he heard that. Maybe. Maybe, I don't know. Other people had negative reactions to the way he characterized that as well. Nick Field says a great example of why Vance was a terrible VP pick. Instead of making up a story about how seeing Trump get up [00:01:23] and pump his pump his fist inspired him, Vance created a story that centers himself as the protagonist in his dystopian movie, and Ghostface says, of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most. And again, it's not that important. And maybe I'm wrong to automatically assume [00:01:42] that he's lying about what happened. But this is what happens when you're a person like JD Vance, where you lie about everything, where you you turn on every position that you held just a few years ago you don't like. There's no reason to assume that they'd be honest about even something like this. [00:02:00] I don't know. Do you disagree? Am I going too far? No, no, I actually think that's one of the most representative clips. It's because, look, maybe some people on the right, you know, are in the wrong frame of mind, to say the least, and think, oh well, you know, I'm concerned about trans issues. [00:02:17] And I saw a Matt Walsh movie. I'm weirded out. Blah blah blah blah blah. And so whatever Vance says about that, I'm going to shut off my mind and agree with him. Right? But on this one, they know he's full of crap. So why? Because we all watch the video, right? So I remember when I first watched the video, you probably remember [00:02:32] when you first watched the video. You see that he grabs his head like this, and at no point did I think he's dead because he grabbed it. He was fine and then he actively went down. But that's not the unbelievable part. Okay, maybe you saw it in a different angle. [00:02:48] You saw it quick. I know you and especially because you're that's, you know, your boss, your friend, whoever, right. That the guy you're running with and you're deeply concerned. I believe that completely. Okay. Then he says I thought he had died. He was down for about under the podium for what, seven seconds? 11 seconds. [00:03:07] And then he came back up. You didn't watch. You just turned it off at four seconds? No, the whole video was about 45 seconds. So you went home and locked and loaded and thought that he was dead. Now come on, guys, this isn't even close, right? So he's like, oh, I thought he had died. [00:03:23] And so I was oh, man, I was angry and I went home. No, you watch the 45 second video like we all did. And you knew he didn't die. Like, I'm a guy who gave Trump a lot of credit that day for, you know, getting back up and putting his fist up and, and, you know, got led to a U-s-a chant. [00:03:39] And I'm hokey that way. And you could criticize me for it and all that stuff. But at no point did anybody watching that clip think, nope, that's it. I'm not watching the rest of this clip. I've seen enough. At four seconds, I'm going to go home and lock and lock and load my guns. Liar. [00:03:54] Giant liar. And why do you have to do that? You have giant Secret Service protection. In fact, in another part of the interview, you talked about like, oh, the one thing that's different about my life is we're watching Netflix and the Secret Service is constantly circling the house. So what was the Secret Service not protecting you that day. [00:04:10] That's why you had to stand in front of the door with your shotgun. Like Clint Eastwood or Bronson. Oh, yeah, man, I got this. He didn't do any of that. He's such a fraud. It's so frustrating when people can't see what a fraud he is. Sharon. [00:04:26] Yeah, none of it's true yet again, and great point about the Secret Service. And I'm just going to say it, I think that he was giddy. I do, and perhaps it's going too far. I think he was probably orgasmic at the thought of moving up to the top of the ticket. And how can I engineer this and manufacture this? [00:04:43] I actually think that's who the guy is, and he uses his children and anything else he can look at. The picture he painted over playing putt putt golf and and then all of a sudden our world was rocked. And it was just so difficult. And I just thought, I'm so angry. [00:05:00] No, he wasn't angry. He was orgasmic. I honestly believe that. I all, all I can say is, again, it's so hard to extend even like we, we, we trip over ourselves to give credit to these people because we want our politics to be sane once again. [00:05:16] But with him, he's the guy who's talking about Trump being Hitler. And Trump has surrounded himself with these guys. JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, people who we know despised him, and yet they see their career as being contingent on pretending to like them, pretending to be friends, [00:05:33] pretending to be worried about them. It's just all so fake. I hate it, and I think that's one of the biggest issues for JD Vance. He's been he's been quite successful, you know, in, I guess, venture capital where you don't need to be an actual human to do well. But politics is a world of being authentic. [00:05:51] And I don't know if there are politicians that are more immediately snake like and greasy than JD Vance, like he's on the Ted Cruz level. Like you just see him and you think this is not a person I'd want to have a conversation with. There is nothing authentic or genuine about this person. Thanks for watching The Young Turks really appreciate it. [00:06:08] Another way to show support is through YouTube memberships. You'll get to interact with us more. There's live chat emojis, badges.
