Everything we Know: Who is J.D. Vance | Trump VP Pick.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Donald Trump has just picked JD Vance
for vice president that makes it a trump
Vance 2024 ticket who is JD Vance and
what do I think about JD Vance well I'll
just be upfront cleaner than Viv but not
exactly what you think of when you think
of the hillbilly from Ohio which he sort
of pitched himself as when he published
his best-selling Memoir now we'll talk
about that in just a moment but let's
try to take this in the most unbiased
manner is possible first of all he's a
junior US senators what does that mean
he's basically brand new okay he joined
the Senate January 3rd 2023 he took over
Rob Portman's seat he's from Middletown
Ohio he served in the Marine Core so
he's a former Marine and he studied
philosophy at the Ohio State University
after he studied philosophy he then went
to get a JD from Yale law which is huge
so that means you know after he got his
undergrad he sat for the elsat and got
into Yale law so he probably scored
pretty high on that elsat okay that's
pretty good uh in the Marine Corps he
was a Corporal uh he was in uh involved
in the Iraq War uh he his Memoir
hillbilly elegy by the way was a memoir
about the hardships of growing up as a
poor white person in Social isolation in
poverty a white Community affected by
drugs and addiction uh a lot of people
he said would describe the neighborhood
he grew up in as hillbilly redneck or
white trash uh or the sticks he says no
these are neighbors friends and family
and so this is kind of how he sort of
built his reputation is that he's you
know your your classic clean record salt
of the earth rust Bel American ready to
go work hard and serve the country which
In fairness shout out for serving to the
Marines an attorney at Yale uh you know
went to Ohio State like this is a great
background right and when I say cleaner
than vake it doesn't have this
background where it's like hey you know
you picked up the rights to a drug that
uh were proven to be worthless rights
and the drug had failed and you picked
up the drug for a big discount and then
you repackaged it and rebranded it and
ipoed it and in Partnerships with other
Pharmaceuticals basically it also failed
and but you sort of use that IPO
Leverage the money you gained to go
start investments into other drugs some
of which did end up becoming a success
so some argue there like H did you kind
of like trick your way into making a lot
of money to produce successful drugs or
is that just the way the game is played
you know whatever this is not a vague
video we don't have to go deep into that
I'm just saying JD doesn't have that
kind of issue the issue that JD has if
it's even an issue is he started working
in Venture Capital uh and he's got a lot
a lot of connections it's worth knowing
this he worked in Venture Capital with
the co-founder of
AOL uh he argues that this is sort of
the criticism right he argues that he
came from like the PO white folk but
then In fairness went to y Law somebody
had to pay for that worked at Venture
Capital firms then eventually started
his own Venture Capital firm receiving
checks ranging from $5 to $10 million
this is a very well-connected person
when he entered the senate race he
didn't come from nowhere Peter Fiel
donated over $10 million to the protect
Ohio values super pack to support uh uh
JD Vance for running for office in
2019 he co-founded Nara Capital with the
bark backing rather of Mark andrees
andrion Horwitz one of the most famous
maybe the most famous venture capitalist
in the world uh Eric Schmidt who was the
former CEO of Google and Peter theel and
raised $ 93 million for that before that
when he was working at the AOL
co-founder Venture Capital firm he
worked with $150 million and then this
was in 2020 was able to raise another
$150 million in October of 2020 so like
he was a managing partner over there
he's been around a lot of money been
around a lot of money somehow got a lot
of connections now is it possible that
he grew up in a poor area maybe got
scholarships going to Yale and worked
himself up by the bootstraps absolutely
and I do not want to discredit any of
that at all right he it's totally
possible we're like super poor to like
this is how you make it in America and
you know what I love the message and I
support it and I actually think if
that's the only criticism of JD this
guy's squeaky clean this is why I've
been saying on the channel I think this
guy is probably going to be Trump's pick
obviously now we know it's Trump's pick
because there really isn't anything to
criticize here it's pretty good you know
his Memoir I ordered it I'm like oh read
it you know it's from 2016 some things
have changed from there it actually
turned into a Netflix film in 2020 so
good for him his uh uh Venture Capital
company is based in Cincinnati Ohio what
a surprise that's where Viv is from and
also what a surprise Viv congratulated
him on X saying that congrats to his
fellow classmate and then said hey we
used to watch the Bengals games together
during uh uh at the bar during law
school so again connected uh 39 years
old he also beat uh Tim Ryan who used to
be in the House of Representatives
remember that Tik Tok video during the
stimulus days Tim Ryan would do the I'm
in the house I'm in the house poor or
whatever videos um this was back when
they were trying to get like Nancy
Pelosi and Mitch McConnell actually get
some stuff moving uh but anyway he beat
Tim Ryan who was trying to go from the
house to the Senate and one of the
reasons JD Vance beat Tim Ryan is
because Donald Trump ended up endorsing
JD Vance and JD Vance won now previously
JD Vance called Donald Trump quote
cultural heroin and
irreprehensible which obviously at some
point there was a flip-flop in fact he
was quoted saying in 2016 quote I think
I'm going to vote third party because I
can't stomach Trump I think he's noxious
and he's leading the white working class
to a very dark place now that did change
though and so my one my question was why
did that change and so the answer was in
2021 he met Donald Trump and I actually
respected this answer Donald Trump told
JD Vance how some generals were
basically manipulating the timing of
troop redeployments in the Middle East
so that they could tell Trump oh troop
levels are coming down and we're still
succeeding when they were really just
manipulating the timing of when and
where troops were so at the time of Any
Given count it seemed like there were
fewer troops in an area Donald Trump was
really frustrated by this and this
account was later verified by James
Jeffrey an Envoy to Syria which suggest
that these shell games were always
played with Washington and I believe
that because politics is like about
gamesmanship and I think a lot of folks
in like the military get frustrated by
you know Washington and having to wait
for permission to to do what they want
to do right but anyway uh the media
viewed this as motivated by sort of a
trump Grudge whereas JD Vance is like no
no this actually just upset Trump the
generals were lying to Donald Trump and
it was really that story that story in
person uh helped JD uh start
appreciating Trump that's that's at
least what he argues and that's when he
started coming to actually like Donald
Trump so uh again you know is this to
say that uh you know the flip-flop was
not motivated by getting an endorsement
no of course not I mean come on like in
2021 we know this the 10 Republicans who
went against Donald Trump uh in the
House of Representatives had an 80%
chance of losing their jobs after the
fact because going against Trump in like
going into the 2022 election cycle was
just a guaranteed way to lose in the
Republican party so I mean this is a
cool story but you know what it's
politics and I appreciate it so I can't
be mad about this
the guy's pro-
nuclear let's go the guy's Pro building
natural gas pipelines more easily more
cleanly great super for that I hate that
California's like no more pipelines
unless they're 100% green they're not
going to be 100% green but they could be
more green nope you said you're not 100%
green so we're not going to do it okay
it's that's the stuff that limits
progress which is just like a form of
you know a mental issue uh but anyway
wants to build more housing says he does
not like raising taxes uh on uh e uh on
the middle class even though Joe Biden
is arguing that JD Vance is a person who
wants to raise taxes on the middle class
he argues that there's way more to taxes
what you really need is an economy
that's growing when an economy is
growing guess what the share of the pie
the government gets is bigger I actually
appreciated that argument I'm like hell
yeah dude yeah let's work to grow the
economy so how do you do that you you
streamline regulation okay
okay I like that now some have said he's
kind of pro the uh FTC and some of the
trust busting they've been doing a lot
of folks like Elon Musk hate that lady's
guts over there at the Trade Commission
he's not that opposed to her so this is
where some people like I don't know is
JD good for markets or not ultimately
it's a VP right I mean this is like us
having a debate over like how much of an
impact comma has on the markets uh I'm
not trying to discredit JD okay I'm just
saying like ultimately it's like going
to be Trump's policies that matter here
but anyway uh he wants to make it hard
for China to take Taiwan wants to see
more weapons going to Taiwan rather than
Ukraine he does think peace in Ukraine
is achievable when he's asked about the
2020 election and what he thinks in
terms of uh you know rigged election or
stolen election he thinks that
censorship tech company manipulation and
the media affected the 2020 election in
a way that they hadn't in
2016 he also argues that Pence should
not have suppressed the people's
concerns about the certification of the
election in 2021 regarding the 2020 uh
election obviously uh he gives this
interesting argument I hadn't thought of
before he made this argument that was
sort of like Pro more minimum wage
increases because his argument was hey
like yeah some people at McDonald's for
example are going to be replaced with
kiosks and those kiosks are going to
provide value for making it easy for
people to order great but the people who
are left at McDonald's have more
responsibilities and get paid more and
then the people who are no longer
working at McDonald's they can hopefully
go on to get a better skill set or a
better job somewhere else okay it's
actually an argument I haven't heard of
before I don't horribly disagree with it
uh I'm generally anti- price controls
from the government uh I could see JD is
a little bit more trusting in sort of
the power of the government's hand here
with the FTC and and this minimum wage
argument again it's the VP it's not the
president uh if we uh limit illegal
immigr oh yeah and then he talks about
limiting legal IM illegal immigration so
that way companies are forced to hire
from the existing pool of hardworking
Americans okay fair totally for
eliminating illegal immigration big fan
of making it easier to have more legal
immigration anyway uh something else
that we saw is uh Robert F Kennedy today
it was announced uh to have Secret
Service protection now like call me
jaded on this one but uh I think this is
rigged and I'm going to show you why I
think this was rigged the timing of this
of this weekend's events the president
has directed me to work with the Secret
Service to provide protection to Robert
Kennedy Jr there it is okay so RFK gets
protection from the Secret Service but
literally right after that I tweeted I
quote tweeted the following it says here
Donald Trump met Monday morning with
Robert F Kennedy Jr to discuss the
possibility of his endorsement per
Politico and I'm like hahaa it all makes
sense now Biden hears Trump's trying to
get rfk's endorsement Biden gives RFK
Secret Service protection same day Biden
hopes RFK stays in the race SL takes
votes from Trump assumed what a game
politics
is yeah I kind of Stand by that
thesis it's all a game it's ser
seriously all a game it's just I mean
too a little too late realistically
right uh but anyway he should have had
that protection a long time ago just
because he's independent candidate you
know I I know there was a low chance
he's going to win but still you don't
want to see another candidate get
attacked anyway uh don Jr had a little
bit of a uh you know back and forth with
a reporter that's kind of been going
viral uh he talks about it's the media
that has created a divisive narrative in
the country that the media doesn't talk
well enough about Donald Trump and the
good things he's trying to do then an
argument about kids and cages ensues
this really goes back to like 2014 in
the Obama era just worth noting the
reason kids were deemed to be in cages
also known as dog kennel rooms was they
used chain link fencing between the
rooms to separate uh individuals as they
were being processed so that air flow
would move between the rooms and some of
these temporary
facilities but it looks horrible and the
Obama Administration freaked out about
this uh but the Trump Administration
really picked up on this and called them
dog cages and kids and cages and so
that's kind of where this all came from
uh and a lot of people freak out about
this this idea of separating uh family
members and children as they should and
the dog cage argument as they should
because it is quite in inhumane how how
people are treated at the border then
again people should not be coming here
uh and allowed in as illegals they
should actually be legally
processed but again that's a totally
different topic and debate here so
overall my thesis on JD is a 39-year-old
guy he's newer in the political scene
this is a pretty riskless bet for Donald
Trump there's really nothing here you
can pick apart uh you know Elon Musk
congratulated him uh you
know He suggests that Biden calling
Donald Trump a fascist must be stopped
at all cost that uh the uh rhetoric from
Joe Biden has actually contributed to
the shooting again of Donald Trump and
it is true like we said he was once a
quote unquote never Trumper but he
changed his opinion after meeting Trump
and hearing some stories from Trump fine
uh but really look here's a guy who from
whatever his background was let's just
say it was broke went from broke uh it
probably was yeah I'm not saying that
his Memoir was a lie I didn't read the
whole Memoir either either I just want
to be transparent about it I just
ordered it anyway uh so I'll let you
know what I think I I think here's a guy
who basically uh came up from pretty
much nowhere in Ohio went to a really
prestigious law school met other people
who are now powerful and and in
positions of of strength you know
whether that's theal or venture
capitalist or uh you know whatever a VI
you name it and uh was able to work his
way up working Venture Capital getting
fundraising for his political campaigns
and uh now here he is he's now a VP
nominee uh now I want to go watch Mitt
Romney Style and here that I'm your VP
Domin I'm not a good singer but I
thought I thought that was funny Mitt
Romney Style was one of those great
videos just good Throwbacks anyway so
there's your breakdown on who the heck
did JD V guy there you go uh and by the
way sh shares a name with Donnie uh his
name is Jam Jes Donald Vance JD Vance
Donald Donald it's Don and Dawn Don and
Dawn are on the ticket vote Don and Dawn
that's what they should be going with
anyway thanks so much we'll see you in
the next one
bye these things that you told us here I
feel like nobody else knows about this
well we'll try a little advertising and
