• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I saw this.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Story but didn't pay much attention to it Earlier this week.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't pay much attention past the headline until I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: heard Vice President jd Vance say this.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: I really don't want us to grow up in a
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: country where a kid telling a stupid joke, telling a
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: very offensive, stupid.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Joke is caused to ruin their lives. We're not canceling
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: kids because they do something stupid in a group.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Chad, Now, that's a reasonable logical take, except for these
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: aren't kids.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: These are twenty four to thirty five year olds.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Jd Vance himself is forty one, so I don't know
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: how he identifies these people as kids. But in theory
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what jd Vance is saying, I agree with three reality.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: These kids do do stupid things. They tell edgi offensive jokes. Hey,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we all do. I love an edgy, offensive joke, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to live in a country where a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: kid or anyone else telling a stupid offensive edgie jokers has.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Caused the ruin their lives.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with all that in theory, but I also
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: hadn't looked at what was said in this chat before
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I heard jd Vance. Now, whether or not this has
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: caused the ruin of life, I don't know. I don't
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: even know what that means. I don't know if their
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: life will be ruined by this, but I do know
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: this is donkey to day worthy because in this chat
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they joked about putting their political opponents in gas chambers,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to which one of them responded great, I love Hitler.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: They praised Republicans, who they believe supported slavery, and they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: referred to black people as monkeys and the watermelon people.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Let's go to NBC News for the report.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Police new fallout tonight from a racist and violent group
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: chat involving leaders of some young Republican groups, as reported
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: by Politico, the outlet obtaining more than seven months worth
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of telegram messages in which they say members muse about
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: using gas chambers against political opponents. I'm ready to watch
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: people burn now. One person responds another describing rape as epic.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The chat includes anti Semitic comments and racial slurs against black, Latino,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Asian people, and other epithets used more than two hundred
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and fifty times, according to Politico. The outlet says one person,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: after being told backers would support the most right wing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: candidate for a leadership role, responded great, I love Hitler.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: At another point, someone writes, if we ever had a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: leak of this chat, we would be cooked. NBC News
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: has not independently obtained or verified the messages, which reportedly
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: involved political advisors and strategists in New York, Arizona, Kansas,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and Vermont, including a state senator there. Now at least
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: three people involved in the chat are reportedly out of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a job. The Kansas Young Republicans deactivated.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Listen arrested about this is one of them in the chat,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: as you just heard, worried about what would happen if
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: their telegram chat ever got leaked. But they kept typing
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: those kinds of messages anyway, and the reality is nothing
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is really gonna happen because none of them a celebrities.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Do you realize folks only get out raised when it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a celebrity involved. They not celebrities, are connected to any celebrity,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they're just young Republicans.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: So those young Republicans will be used.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: To reinforce the narrative that this current administration is racist
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and white supremacists. By the way, they've earned every single
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: one of those accusations because jd Vance, I don't know
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: how you read these texts and just don't simply denounce this. Okay,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: there's no way you read these texts, and there's no
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: way members of your donor class are not offended by
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: these texts.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Back in July of twenty twenty four, track Apax said
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that jd Vance received almost one hundred and seventy thousand
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: dollars from pro Israel lobbyist. I don't know what the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: number is now, but how would they feel about you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: just dismissing a bunch of young people saying I love
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Hitler and they want their political opponents and ge As Chambers. Okay,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you can't just dismiss that it's just edgy, offensive jokes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't give you another dollar until you denounce these folks,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all right. This guy, Peter Gunta, said he was going
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to create. Some of the greatest psychological torture methods known
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to man are the physiological I think it's physiological torture
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: methods known to man. We only want true believers. Hey, Peter,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the punchline. Okay, Joe Maleno replied, replied
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to that, can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: fit the Hitler aesthetic? And Kkati said I'm ready to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: watch them burn now. Then Joe Molino said, we got
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to pretend that we liked them. Hey, come on in,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: take a nice shower and relax. Boom, they're dead. These
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: folks are actively thinking and typing ways to torture Jewish
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and Black people in the future.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: And I don't see enough online outrage about this. Okay.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Social media you're all supposed to have been made them famous,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: all right. I know they not celebrities.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I know they don't host shows on ESPN, I know
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they don't have a podcast that get millions of listeners,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But they deserve that outrage. Okay, y'all only seen y'all
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: seem the only reserved for celebrities that type of outrage. Okay,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but these folks are organized and strategically planning your demise.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Let me say it's slow for you. So you know
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: their names, Peter Guntu, I know I'm misprodounced that. Bobby Walker,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Samuel Douglas, William Hendrix, Michael Bartel's, Alex Dwyer and Kkatie,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Joe Malino, Luke Moisman and Rachel Hope. You know their names,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so now go strategize, complain to their places of employment.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was reading on ABC News where some GOP leaders
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: were calling for the resignation of these young Republicans who
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: used these slurs and were sending these racist messages. Republican
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Governor Phil Scott of Vermont called out the state senator
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and head of Vermont's Young Republican chapter, Sam Douglass, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: said he should resign immediately and leave the party because.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Of these messages. Good for you, Phil, Phil Scott. Okay.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: The chair of the Kansas GOP party, the Nadri Herbert,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: announced Tuesday that the state's Young Republicans chapter has been deactivated.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They said the comments do not reflect the beliefs of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Republicans and certainly not Kansas Republicans at large. Good for you,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Dan dere Herbert, Peter Guinte, who sent the message. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: love Hitler.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: He has since vacated his posts.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Good. But what about the rest of y'all. Okay, I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just saying a president is being said. All right, Clearly
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: some Republicans aren't standing for this, and I'm glad.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: But we need to bring that water to a boil.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, So please give the leaders of the young Republican
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: groups the biggest he huh.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And I don't want you to know I had the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Google watermelon people. Okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't even try to lead my AI either. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: just simply googled the watermelon people came up. It is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a racist trope, okay, used towards black people. The stereotype
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: emerged after the Civil War as a way for white
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Southerners to demean and control the newly freed black population.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: So it's classic. I've told y'all before in this radio.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Black people were using watermelon as a symbol of freedom
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: after emancipation, but Southern whites weaponized it by depicting it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: as a sign of laziness and ignorance and childishness, as
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: if they don't like watermelon too, as if watermelon is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: not delicious and over ninety percent water, which makes it
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an excellent source of hydration.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: For watermelon and monkey is okay, that's whatever. Yeah, I mean, yes,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: watermelon people is offensive.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: But I mean no, I get I'm saying, you know, right,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, nah, whatever, the raping and the you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: killing and the gas chamber and all that absolutely is
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: what they.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Need to be. That's cause for consequence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: But what should make it even more upset is the
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: fact that JD. Van said, you know what, it is
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: not that bad. We can't cancel it for that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You read this.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think you read it, but I'm not going
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: to shoot you. Gotta read it. You gotta read it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: You know what, watermelon people, that's ten people that you named. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: that's ten. Gave the names. Only three of them were
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: only time I.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Received some consequences from what I read. I Number one
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: one vacated, The Peter guy vacated.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I think is it just their names or are their
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: faces up there too? Okay, alright, alright, well the internetwork

  Speaker 1: By the way, I have no problem being a watermelon
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: person but I love watermelon. I just want you all
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to know that. And I mean Lauren Lurossa referred to
• 9:25
