FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

Donald Trump has just picked JD Vance

0:02

for vice president that makes it a trump

0:04

Vance 2024 ticket who is JD Vance and

0:08

what do I think about JD Vance well I'll

0:11

just be upfront cleaner than Viv but not

0:15

exactly what you think of when you think

0:18

of the hillbilly from Ohio which he sort

0:21

of pitched himself as when he published

0:25

his best-selling Memoir now we'll talk

0:27

about that in just a moment but let's

0:29

try to take this in the most unbiased

0:31

manner is possible first of all he's a

0:33

junior US senators what does that mean

0:34

he's basically brand new okay he joined

0:37

the Senate January 3rd 2023 he took over

0:40

Rob Portman's seat he's from Middletown

0:43

Ohio he served in the Marine Core so

0:46

he's a former Marine and he studied

0:49

philosophy at the Ohio State University

0:52

after he studied philosophy he then went

0:55

to get a JD from Yale law which is huge

0:58

so that means you know after he got his

1:00

undergrad he sat for the elsat and got

1:02

into Yale law so he probably scored

1:04

pretty high on that elsat okay that's

1:06

pretty good uh in the Marine Corps he

1:09

was a Corporal uh he was in uh involved

1:12

in the Iraq War uh he his Memoir

1:15

hillbilly elegy by the way was a memoir

1:18

about the hardships of growing up as a

1:21

poor white person in Social isolation in

1:25

poverty a white Community affected by

1:28

drugs and addiction uh a lot of people

1:30

he said would describe the neighborhood

1:32

he grew up in as hillbilly redneck or

1:35

white trash uh or the sticks he says no

1:38

these are neighbors friends and family

1:42

and so this is kind of how he sort of

1:43

built his reputation is that he's you

1:45

know your your classic clean record salt

1:49

of the earth rust Bel American ready to

1:51

go work hard and serve the country which

1:54

In fairness shout out for serving to the

1:56

Marines an attorney at Yale uh you know

2:01

went to Ohio State like this is a great

2:04

background right and when I say cleaner

2:06

than vake it doesn't have this

2:08

background where it's like hey you know

2:10

you picked up the rights to a drug that

2:13

uh were proven to be worthless rights

2:16

and the drug had failed and you picked

2:18

up the drug for a big discount and then

2:19

you repackaged it and rebranded it and

2:22

ipoed it and in Partnerships with other

2:25

Pharmaceuticals basically it also failed

2:27

and but you sort of use that IPO

2:29

Leverage the money you gained to go

2:31

start investments into other drugs some

2:33

of which did end up becoming a success

2:35

so some argue there like H did you kind

2:38

of like trick your way into making a lot

2:40

of money to produce successful drugs or

2:44

is that just the way the game is played

2:45

you know whatever this is not a vague

2:47

video we don't have to go deep into that

2:48

I'm just saying JD doesn't have that

2:51

kind of issue the issue that JD has if

2:55

it's even an issue is he started working

2:59

in Venture Capital uh and he's got a lot

3:03

a lot of connections it's worth knowing

3:06

this he worked in Venture Capital with

3:08

the co-founder of

3:10

AOL uh he argues that this is sort of

3:13

the criticism right he argues that he

3:15

came from like the PO white folk but

3:17

then In fairness went to y Law somebody

3:20

had to pay for that worked at Venture

3:21

Capital firms then eventually started

3:23

his own Venture Capital firm receiving

3:26

checks ranging from $5 to $10 million

3:29

this is a very well-connected person

3:31

when he entered the senate race he

3:33

didn't come from nowhere Peter Fiel

3:36

donated over $10 million to the protect

3:40

Ohio values super pack to support uh uh

3:45

JD Vance for running for office in

3:49

2019 he co-founded Nara Capital with the

3:53

bark backing rather of Mark andrees

3:56

andrion Horwitz one of the most famous

3:58

maybe the most famous venture capitalist

4:00

in the world uh Eric Schmidt who was the

4:02

former CEO of Google and Peter theel and

4:05

raised $ 93 million for that before that

4:09

when he was working at the AOL

4:11

co-founder Venture Capital firm he

4:13

worked with $150 million and then this

4:15

was in 2020 was able to raise another

4:17

$150 million in October of 2020 so like

4:22

he was a managing partner over there

4:23

he's been around a lot of money been

4:26

around a lot of money somehow got a lot

4:28

of connections now is it possible that

4:29

he grew up in a poor area maybe got

4:31

scholarships going to Yale and worked

4:34

himself up by the bootstraps absolutely

4:36

and I do not want to discredit any of

4:38

that at all right he it's totally

4:41

possible we're like super poor to like

4:44

this is how you make it in America and

4:45

you know what I love the message and I

4:47

support it and I actually think if

4:49

that's the only criticism of JD this

4:52

guy's squeaky clean this is why I've

4:54

been saying on the channel I think this

4:56

guy is probably going to be Trump's pick

4:58

obviously now we know it's Trump's pick

5:00

because there really isn't anything to

5:03

criticize here it's pretty good you know

5:05

his Memoir I ordered it I'm like oh read

5:08

it you know it's from 2016 some things

5:10

have changed from there it actually

5:11

turned into a Netflix film in 2020 so

5:14

good for him his uh uh Venture Capital

5:17

company is based in Cincinnati Ohio what

5:19

a surprise that's where Viv is from and

5:22

also what a surprise Viv congratulated

5:24

him on X saying that congrats to his

5:26

fellow classmate and then said hey we

5:29

used to watch the Bengals games together

5:31

during uh uh at the bar during law

5:34

school so again connected uh 39 years

5:38

old he also beat uh Tim Ryan who used to

5:41

be in the House of Representatives

5:43

remember that Tik Tok video during the

5:44

stimulus days Tim Ryan would do the I'm

5:46

in the house I'm in the house poor or

5:47

whatever videos um this was back when

5:50

they were trying to get like Nancy

5:52

Pelosi and Mitch McConnell actually get

5:53

some stuff moving uh but anyway he beat

5:56

Tim Ryan who was trying to go from the

5:57

house to the Senate and one of the

5:59

reasons JD Vance beat Tim Ryan is

6:02

because Donald Trump ended up endorsing

6:04

JD Vance and JD Vance won now previously

6:08

JD Vance called Donald Trump quote

6:11

cultural heroin and

6:14

irreprehensible which obviously at some

6:16

point there was a flip-flop in fact he

6:18

was quoted saying in 2016 quote I think

6:21

I'm going to vote third party because I

6:23

can't stomach Trump I think he's noxious

6:26

and he's leading the white working class

6:28

to a very dark place now that did change

6:32

though and so my one my question was why

6:34

did that change and so the answer was in

6:37

2021 he met Donald Trump and I actually

6:39

respected this answer Donald Trump told

6:41

JD Vance how some generals were

6:43

basically manipulating the timing of

6:45

troop redeployments in the Middle East

6:47

so that they could tell Trump oh troop

6:49

levels are coming down and we're still

6:51

succeeding when they were really just

6:52

manipulating the timing of when and

6:54

where troops were so at the time of Any

6:57

Given count it seemed like there were

6:59

fewer troops in an area Donald Trump was

7:01

really frustrated by this and this

7:03

account was later verified by James

7:05

Jeffrey an Envoy to Syria which suggest

7:08

that these shell games were always

7:10

played with Washington and I believe

7:11

that because politics is like about

7:13

gamesmanship and I think a lot of folks

7:15

in like the military get frustrated by

7:17

you know Washington and having to wait

7:19

for permission to to do what they want

7:21

to do right but anyway uh the media

7:24

viewed this as motivated by sort of a

7:26

trump Grudge whereas JD Vance is like no

7:29

no this actually just upset Trump the

7:31

generals were lying to Donald Trump and

7:34

it was really that story that story in

7:38

person uh helped JD uh start

7:41

appreciating Trump that's that's at

7:43

least what he argues and that's when he

7:45

started coming to actually like Donald

7:47

Trump so uh again you know is this to

7:50

say that uh you know the flip-flop was

7:55

not motivated by getting an endorsement

7:58

no of course not I mean come on like in

8:01

2021 we know this the 10 Republicans who

8:04

went against Donald Trump uh in the

8:07

House of Representatives had an 80%

8:10

chance of losing their jobs after the

8:12

fact because going against Trump in like

8:16

going into the 2022 election cycle was

8:19

just a guaranteed way to lose in the

8:20

Republican party so I mean this is a

8:22

cool story but you know what it's

8:26

politics and I appreciate it so I can't

8:28

be mad about this

8:30

the guy's pro-

8:31

nuclear let's go the guy's Pro building

8:33

natural gas pipelines more easily more

8:36

cleanly great super for that I hate that

8:39

California's like no more pipelines

8:41

unless they're 100% green they're not

8:43

going to be 100% green but they could be

8:45

more green nope you said you're not 100%

8:47

green so we're not going to do it okay

8:49

it's that's the stuff that limits

8:50

progress which is just like a form of

8:53

you know a mental issue uh but anyway

8:55

wants to build more housing says he does

8:57

not like raising taxes uh on uh e uh on

9:01

the middle class even though Joe Biden

9:04

is arguing that JD Vance is a person who

9:07

wants to raise taxes on the middle class

9:09

he argues that there's way more to taxes

9:12

what you really need is an economy

9:14

that's growing when an economy is

9:16

growing guess what the share of the pie

9:19

the government gets is bigger I actually

9:21

appreciated that argument I'm like hell

9:23

yeah dude yeah let's work to grow the

9:25

economy so how do you do that you you

9:27

streamline regulation okay

9:30

okay I like that now some have said he's

9:32

kind of pro the uh FTC and some of the

9:35

trust busting they've been doing a lot

9:38

of folks like Elon Musk hate that lady's

9:40

guts over there at the Trade Commission

9:42

he's not that opposed to her so this is

9:44

where some people like I don't know is

9:46

JD good for markets or not ultimately

9:48

it's a VP right I mean this is like us

9:50

having a debate over like how much of an

9:52

impact comma has on the markets uh I'm

9:55

not trying to discredit JD okay I'm just

9:57

saying like ultimately it's like going

9:59

to be Trump's policies that matter here

10:01

but anyway uh he wants to make it hard

10:02

for China to take Taiwan wants to see

10:05

more weapons going to Taiwan rather than

10:06

Ukraine he does think peace in Ukraine

10:09

is achievable when he's asked about the

10:11

2020 election and what he thinks in

10:13

terms of uh you know rigged election or

10:15

stolen election he thinks that

10:17

censorship tech company manipulation and

10:20

the media affected the 2020 election in

10:23

a way that they hadn't in

10:25

2016 he also argues that Pence should

10:28

not have suppressed the people's

10:29

concerns about the certification of the

10:32

election in 2021 regarding the 2020 uh

10:36

election obviously uh he gives this

10:38

interesting argument I hadn't thought of

10:40

before he made this argument that was

10:42

sort of like Pro more minimum wage

10:44

increases because his argument was hey

10:47

like yeah some people at McDonald's for

10:48

example are going to be replaced with

10:50

kiosks and those kiosks are going to

10:53

provide value for making it easy for

10:55

people to order great but the people who

10:57

are left at McDonald's have more

10:59

responsibilities and get paid more and

11:02

then the people who are no longer

11:04

working at McDonald's they can hopefully

11:06

go on to get a better skill set or a

11:08

better job somewhere else okay it's

11:11

actually an argument I haven't heard of

11:13

before I don't horribly disagree with it

11:18

uh I'm generally anti- price controls

11:20

from the government uh I could see JD is

11:23

a little bit more trusting in sort of

11:25

the power of the government's hand here

11:27

with the FTC and and this minimum wage

11:30

argument again it's the VP it's not the

11:34

president uh if we uh limit illegal

11:36

immigr oh yeah and then he talks about

11:38

limiting legal IM illegal immigration so

11:41

that way companies are forced to hire

11:42

from the existing pool of hardworking

11:44

Americans okay fair totally for

11:47

eliminating illegal immigration big fan

11:49

of making it easier to have more legal

11:52

immigration anyway uh something else

11:55

that we saw is uh Robert F Kennedy today

11:57

it was announced uh to have Secret

12:00

Service protection now like call me

12:03

jaded on this one but uh I think this is

12:07

rigged and I'm going to show you why I

12:09

think this was rigged the timing of this

12:12

of this weekend's events the president

12:15

has directed me to work with the Secret

12:17

Service to provide protection to Robert

12:20

Kennedy Jr there it is okay so RFK gets

12:24

protection from the Secret Service but

12:27

literally right after that I tweeted I

12:29

quote tweeted the following it says here

12:31

Donald Trump met Monday morning with

12:33

Robert F Kennedy Jr to discuss the

12:35

possibility of his endorsement per

12:37

Politico and I'm like hahaa it all makes

12:39

sense now Biden hears Trump's trying to

12:42

get rfk's endorsement Biden gives RFK

12:45

Secret Service protection same day Biden

12:47

hopes RFK stays in the race SL takes

12:49

votes from Trump assumed what a game

12:52

politics

12:53

is yeah I kind of Stand by that

12:55

thesis it's all a game it's ser

12:59

seriously all a game it's just I mean

13:01

too a little too late realistically

13:03

right uh but anyway he should have had

13:06

that protection a long time ago just

13:08

because he's independent candidate you

13:09

know I I know there was a low chance

13:11

he's going to win but still you don't

13:12

want to see another candidate get

13:16

attacked anyway uh don Jr had a little

13:19

bit of a uh you know back and forth with

13:22

a reporter that's kind of been going

13:23

viral uh he talks about it's the media

13:26

that has created a divisive narrative in

13:28

the country that the media doesn't talk

13:29

well enough about Donald Trump and the

13:31

good things he's trying to do then an

13:33

argument about kids and cages ensues

13:35

this really goes back to like 2014 in

13:38

the Obama era just worth noting the

13:41

reason kids were deemed to be in cages

13:43

also known as dog kennel rooms was they

13:45

used chain link fencing between the

13:47

rooms to separate uh individuals as they

13:50

were being processed so that air flow

13:52

would move between the rooms and some of

13:54

these temporary

13:56

facilities but it looks horrible and the

13:58

Obama Administration freaked out about

14:00

this uh but the Trump Administration

14:02

really picked up on this and called them

14:03

dog cages and kids and cages and so

14:06

that's kind of where this all came from

14:07

uh and a lot of people freak out about

14:10

this this idea of separating uh family

14:13

members and children as they should and

14:16

the dog cage argument as they should

14:18

because it is quite in inhumane how how

14:20

people are treated at the border then

14:21

again people should not be coming here

14:24

uh and allowed in as illegals they

14:27

should actually be legally

14:29

processed but again that's a totally

14:32

different topic and debate here so

14:34

overall my thesis on JD is a 39-year-old

14:37

guy he's newer in the political scene

14:39

this is a pretty riskless bet for Donald

14:41

Trump there's really nothing here you

14:43

can pick apart uh you know Elon Musk

14:45

congratulated him uh you

14:49

know He suggests that Biden calling

14:51

Donald Trump a fascist must be stopped

14:53

at all cost that uh the uh rhetoric from

14:57

Joe Biden has actually contributed to

14:59

the shooting again of Donald Trump and

15:02

it is true like we said he was once a

15:04

quote unquote never Trumper but he

15:06

changed his opinion after meeting Trump

15:08

and hearing some stories from Trump fine

15:11

uh but really look here's a guy who from

15:14

whatever his background was let's just

15:16

say it was broke went from broke uh it

15:20

probably was yeah I'm not saying that

15:22

his Memoir was a lie I didn't read the

15:23

whole Memoir either either I just want

15:25

to be transparent about it I just

15:26

ordered it anyway uh so I'll let you

15:29

know what I think I I think here's a guy

15:32

who basically uh came up from pretty

15:34

much nowhere in Ohio went to a really

15:37

prestigious law school met other people

15:41

who are now powerful and and in

15:43

positions of of strength you know

15:46

whether that's theal or venture

15:48

capitalist or uh you know whatever a VI

15:51

you name it and uh was able to work his

15:55

way up working Venture Capital getting

15:57

fundraising for his political campaigns

16:00

and uh now here he is he's now a VP

16:03

nominee uh now I want to go watch Mitt

16:06

Romney Style and here that I'm your VP

16:09

Domin I'm not a good singer but I

16:12

thought I thought that was funny Mitt

16:13

Romney Style was one of those great

16:15

videos just good Throwbacks anyway so

16:18

16:21

16:25
