Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Tucker Likes JD Vance As Trump VP
Transcript
- 0:03So jd Vance, jd Vance, I mean he's good. I like jd
- 0:08Vance. He's the VP pick for Trump. I will confess I felt that
- 0:12it was a little bit anti climactic for me because he's not just in terms
- 0:16of personality wise, he's not the it's not he's not that he's going to
- 0:19bed personality. He's not dynamic, but he's not the flashiest. You know,
- 0:23Viveke makes crazy, right is Viveke is a fantastic compelling orator. But
- 0:33maybe that's the thing. Maybe he's a little too compelling. I mean,
- 0:35I do I understand it. You know, you're not really supposed to have
- 0:39a vice president candidate who can compete with you really in any way. I'm
- 0:45not saying he would compete with Trump in terms of charisma and all of that,
- 0:48but maybe it's a bit too much. So maybe there's a bit of
- 0:51that going on. Also, there was talk about RFK Junior as well,
- 0:56and in fact, let me see I had a video and see if we
- 1:00can find it here it is. Let's watch this. He was talking about
- 1:03he really wanted our FK Junior and Trump. Now, I never thought it
- 1:07would be RFK because RFK at the end of the day. He has some
- 1:11great qualities, but at the end of the day, he's not a conservative,
- 1:14so he wouldn't be appropriate. But let's take a look at what Weinstein
- 1:18says, and he makes a good case. President Trump, the country needs
- 1:23you to join forces with Bobby Kennedy and name him as your vice presidential running
- 1:27mate. And Bobby, the country needs you to accept. If you see
- 1:33the wisdom in this, you'll realize it solves a number of problems. Maybe
- 1:37most importantly, it creates a kind of assassination insurance. If you run independently
- 1:42and they take you out, they solve a problem from their perspective. If
- 1:47you run together, they only make their problems worse. Our nation suffered a
- 1:53great trauma in nineteen sixty three and another in nineteen sixty eight. That pattern
- 2:00threatened to repeat itself this last Saturday, President Trump, by selecting Bobby Kennedy
- 2:06as your vice presidential running mate, you would take a great stride to ending
- 2:09that pattern once and for all and restoring the Democratic Republic that was the vision
- 2:15of our founders. By enabling Bobby Kennedy to carry the torch when you leave
- 2:20office at the end of your second four year term. It was never going
- 2:23to be RFK because well, JJ Nevada saying RFK is way you left.
- 2:28Yeah, that's why he's not he's not a conservative, right, it wouldn't
- 2:31be appropriate. So that was never going to happen. But I mean the
- 2:35point about being assassination proof, you spot on with that, really spot on
- 2:38with that. But yet really with Trump and JFK rf sorry RFK Junior,
- 2:45it's two different visions. So that was never going to work. But I
- 2:47thought that was interesting and I thought you'd guys enjoy seeing that. So jd
- 2:51Vance, now you know, I was putting this together kind of in a
- 2:53hurry, so I asked Grock to just do up a short ride up on
- 2:59j Evans and this, all of this in here is correct, says jd.
- 3:04Vance. Is a Republican US senator from Ohio. He was sworn in
- 3:07in twenty twenty three, who has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald
- 3:13Trump and his policies. He aligns with Trump on several key issues, including
- 3:17immigration, foreign policy, and social issues. On immigration, Vance supports building
- 3:23a wall along the southern border and opposes more military aid to Ukraine, believing
- 3:30that the country should Sede Land to Russia to end the war. He opposes
- 3:35abortion rights, gun control, and interventionist foreign policy. On social issues,
- 3:40Vance believes that marriage is between a man and a woman and wants to ban
- 3:46gender firming care for minors. Now, in some left wing media I've been
- 3:51looking at, they're claiming that he's wants to destroy gay marriage arlier. I
- 3:55don't think he's ever gone that far. I think he's just saying that in
- 3:58his faith, does he's a religious man that, yeah, he doesn't agree
- 4:02with it. But I haven't seen anything to suggest that he who would get
- 4:05rid of gay marriagers anything like that. In terms of this band, gender
- 4:11firming care for minors, yeah, all in with that. Gender firming care
- 4:15is euphemism. As we all know. We've been over this many times.
- 4:18It's a euphemism. It's the opposite of reality, right. Gender affirming would
- 4:24be the five year old who says they think they're born in the wrong body.
- 4:27Gender affirming would be to say, no, you're not, and you
- 4:30believe in Santa Claus. So shut up, here's your Tanka truck. Focus
- 4:36on that. Don't listen to your teacher. But you know what, actually
- 4:40we're homeschooling from now on. Let's see, he is also being a reliable
- 4:44vote with the GOP's right flank. In summary, JD. Vance's political policies
- 4:48are aligned with the conservative wing of the Republican Party, with a focus on
- 4:53issues such as immigration, foreign policy, and social conservatism. So there's lots
- 4:59there like, but there is a complication and this is going to be played
- 5:02upon, and I think they're already doing it obviously, I mean immediately.
- 5:08They would have been prepared, because prepared to attack JD events because in the
- 5:13past, in twenty sixteen, he said some really unflattering things about Donald Trump,
- 5:19things like a lot of it was just personal messages that got leaked.
- 5:24But my god, was an idiot. JD. Vance gets whacked for past
- 5:27Trump comments. This is twenty sixteen. Let me see, he said,
- 5:31I never I'm a never Trump guy. He said an interview with Charlie Rose
- 5:34in twenty sixteen. I never liked him. He said, my god,
- 5:39what an idiot, he wrote. Vance expressed a similar sentiment in other interviews
- 5:44and since delated tweets from that time, including publicly mulling the idea of supporting
- 5:47Hillary Clinton, calling Trump noxious and reprehensible. So a lot of people said
- 5:51things like that about Trump in twenty sixteen, and they changed their minds because
- 5:56nobody knew, nobody knew what he was going to do, and once he
- 6:00started, you know, the kind of the kind of novelty of it wears
- 6:03off and let's get well, what are the actual policies. And then people
- 6:06realized, okay that what we're viewing, what we're witnessing here is prosperity.
- 6:11We're seeing at no new foreign wars, we're seeing peace deals. There's a
- 6:15lot to like. So a lot of people, a lot of people hated
- 6:18him at first and then kind of came around. Even people he attacked during
- 6:24the primary said actually, you know what, I didn't like those comments about
- 6:27me, but I like the policy. So let's see what Jade Vance has
- 6:31to say about that. Here from Brian Lily. Jd. Vance was once
- 6:35a never trump er. He said some of the worst things about Trump,
- 6:38but changed his mind during Trump's first term. Vance was asked about his past
- 6:43comments recently on Fox Let's take a look, this is an evolution. And
- 6:46I know you've been asked about this before, about past comments that you've made
- 6:50about Donald Trump. You've said, I've never I'm a never Trump guy,
- 6:55never liked him, terrible candidate, idiot if you voted for him, might
- 7:00be America's Hitler, might be a cynical ahole, cultural heroine, noxious and
- 7:04reprehensible. Those are things that the Left is going to come after you,
- 7:09and they're probably going to be put in ads should you be chosen as the
- 7:12VP pick. How do you deal with them? Now? Yeah, I
- 7:15think the simple answer is you've got to respect the American people enough to just
- 7:17level with him. Look, I was wrong about Donald Trump. I didn't
- 7:20think he was going to be good president. Brett. He was a great
- 7:23president, and it's one of the reasons why I'm working so hard to make
- 7:26sure he gets a second term. I think you should when you're wrong about
- 7:30something, you should change your mind and be honest with people about that fact.
- 7:32And I actually think again, whether this is running as his running mate
- 7:36or running and supporting him as a United States senator, Brett, I think
- 7:41it actually presents a real opportunity to talk to the American people because a lot
- 7:45of people didn't think Trump was going to be a good president, and a
- 7:47lot of people were happy to be proven wrong. And I think it presents
- 7:50an opportunity for me to make the case to the American people that, look,
- 7:55we have two very different sets of results. Four years of Joe Biden
- 7:58four years of Donald Trump. We know the Trump record is one of success.
- 8:01The Biden record is one of failure. I came around to Donald Trump,
- 8:05and I think that a lot of Americans will do the exact same thing.
- 8:09So that sounds fair to me. And we have to remember that Trump
- 8:13was a special case. I mean, you know, there's always a temptation,
- 8:16which it's a pretty I think. I think the temptation to take a
- 8:20cynical view of every politician is a fairly justified one. I'm going to be
- 8:26honest, But we have to remember twenty sixteen, it was like it was
- 8:28like nothing else. Nobody knew what Trump was going to be. Nobody knew
- 8:31really what he was going to do. And he did well. He did
- 8:35very well, and he did things well. By he did well, what
- 8:39I mean, I mean he at least tried to do the things that he
- 8:43promised he was going to do and was successful at least in part everywhere,
- 8:48really successful in other places in some places. Right, So I'm not taking
- 8:54a cynical I'm not looking at this with a cynical eye or a cynical ear.
- 9:00This seems like quite plausible and reasonable to me. A lot of people,
- 9:03a lot of people didn't like him at first, especially just they didn't
- 9:07like the esthetics, but they like the policies. There's a lot of Trump
- 9:11voters who don't even like his personality, not least is public. You know.
- 9:16They don't like it when he's I don't know, making fun of people
- 9:18or whatever, but they like the policies, right, Yeah. Nevada says,
- 9:22Yeah, he wasn't always a fan of Trump now, but like a
- 9:24lot of people, he wasn't a lot of people who are now. Raader
- 9:28Streamer says, eh, just like Ron de Santis, he is transactional politically.
- 9:33If you get in line, he moves on. So I don't know,
- 9:35I mean, I guess we'll have to see, you know. But
- 9:39to me, it seems quite reasonable for somebody to say, look, I
- 9:41didn't know, you know, I didn't like what I saw when he was
- 9:46running in twenty sixteen, but I like the policies. I like what happened.
- 9:50I think he was a great president once he actually had a chance to
- 9:52be president. But of course the left is losing their minds over JD Evans.
- 9:56JD Evans to me, looking at his policies, is just normal conservative.
- 10:01I'm not going to say he's a centrist. I think he's a little
- 10:03more right than that. But he's just a normal conservative. But of course
- 10:07everybody one step to the left or one step to the right of them is
- 10:09you know, the bad guy from Germany. Let's hear what they're saying immediately.
- 10:15You know, part of the reason that JD. Vance matters isn't for
- 10:18these kind of short term electoral calculations. He matters because what he means to
- 10:22the Republican Party long term. This is cementing a kind of nationalism. Now,
- 10:28Trump, to your point, I agree with you. He isn't instinctive
- 10:31cementing a kind of nationalism. He just there reflexively against anything that is like
- 10:37anything any positive attitude towards your own country, you know, anything that's positive
- 10:43towards your history, your traditions, the place that you live. Trump,
- 10:46to your point, I agree with you, is an instinctive, impulsive,
- 10:50intuitive nationalist. JD. Vance is an ideological nationalist. That's a much more
- 10:56dangerous virus because he can. He can polish this stuff and make it seem
- 11:01palatable to people. He can sell this stuff to Silicon Valley. You can
- 11:05sell this stuff by the places. And what it does is it locks the
- 11:09Republican Party on a pathway that I think is dangerous for the world. Again,
- 11:13the Ukrainians are now in deep trouble, NATO is now in deep trouble.
- 11:18H Trump is you get it, go one with with a Nikki Haley
- 11:20and send them to the world. Hey, listen, I got to give
- 11:22stuff to my base, but I'm not going to abandon the world. This
- 11:26pick is a horror on the world stage. So jd Vance matters because Donal
- 11:31Trump is pointing the Republican Party in a very scary direction for the long term.
- 11:35It's a horror for the world. So it's a horror. It's a
- 11:39horror for I mean, it's definitely a horror for the arms manufacturers, right,
- 11:45definitely a horror for them. You know, JD Dance JD Vance is
- 11:48gonna be very effective selling this nationalism, this evil thing, selling what exactly
- 11:52what's selling like not giving like everybody's money away so that people can kill themselves
- 11:58and halfway across the world. He's selling that, like selling like maybe the
- 12:05government should be for the people that vote for it, selling that all these
- 12:11evil things that he's going to be selling. It's so strange, don't you
- 12:13think, I mean, what a weird what a weird worldview? Find it
- 12:18bizarre, Abata says. They say nationalism like it's a bad thing. Yeah,
- 12:22well, like what is nationalism? Like, hey represent us, not
- 12:26like people in other countries, Like, don't build walls for other countries.
- 12:31Build one here for instance. You know, maybe worry about like the infrastructure
- 12:37in our own country. You know, in Canada it's exactly like in every
- 12:39Western country is exact same thing. Trudeau. Trudeau can't. I mean,
- 12:43I think it's his greatest joy in life is to borrow money that we'll have
- 12:48to that will have to be paid back, well, that will probably never
- 12:52actually get paid back, would just be paying the interest on it forever.
- 12:54Borrow money to give to other countries. I told you about the UH he
- 13:00was about ten million dollars to Ukraine for gender neutral D mining. Gender neutral
- 13:07D mining, that's real. It was four million. I said ten million.
- 13:11Sorry, it was only four million dollars to fund gender inclusive, d
- 13:15mining the phrase gender transformative, mine action. Jesus, this is Canada.
- 13:22Canada is a cautionary tale for everybody else. I know it's the same stuff
- 13:26going on everywhere, but I think some of this stuff we're ahead, We're
- 13:30ahead of the curve. Okay, so yeah, so the left is already
- 13:33They started in immediately with the fear mongering about JD Evans. It's gonna be
- 13:37the end of the world. Blah blah blah. I love this. CNN
- 13:41triggered makes me happy. Let's see Romney hates jd Evans. This is good.
- 13:45CNN hates Jdvans. This is good. Tucker tells you all the swamp
- 13:50hates jd Vans. Okay, well, let's actually hear this from Tucker.
- 13:52Then jd Vance is the VP pick, and I think every person who pays
- 13:58close attention it has got to be thrilled by that. And if you don't
- 14:01know much about JD Vance, I'm not even gonna make a case for jd
- 14:05Vance. I'm going to tell you what I just saw, which is that
- 14:09every bad person I've ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD
- 14:15Vance. And I do think the negative case is often more powerful because I
- 14:20know of myself, I do not think I'm a particularly good person. I
- 14:22have strong reasons for feeling that way. I don't always think that my side
- 14:26is right. I know for a fact I have been wrong many many times,
- 14:30and I hope to correct and be honest about my error. So it's
- 14:33not like I think that you know, I'm always you know, God's always
- 14:37on my side. Sometimes I'm not on God's side, but I definitely know
- 14:41who's representing the other side. It's a lot easier to tell who the people
- 14:48who are only in it because they like I don't know killing other people in
- 14:52pointless wars, Like I know who those people are, and their odor is
- 14:56so powerful that I can smell one when he walks in the room. And
- 15:00every single one of those people in a line that would extend from Milwaukee to
- 15:03Chicago was lined up over the last week to knife jd Vance. Not on
- 15:09personal grounds. So he's perfectly nice guy. He's like one of the only
- 15:11members of the Senate with a happy marriage. True, but because they thought
- 15:18he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people, that's
- 15:22it that he would be an impediment to their exercising power, and boyd they
- 15:26went after him in a way I've just kind of never seen, which I
- 15:28think happens every day in Washington. I just don't have advantage on it because
- 15:31I'm far, far away and grateful to be. And again, I was
- 15:35just reminded that this process is so ugly that normal people do not want to
- 15:41participate in it, and yet normal people have to suck it up and do
- 15:43so anyway because the consequences are just so profound and so very serious. Yeah.
- 15:52So, I mean, obviously, you know when we were looking at
- 15:56that CNN interview or that CNN segment there where, Yeah, one of the
- 16:00main concerns you said out right was that Ukraine, Right, Ukraine, more
- 16:03money for Ukraine. Ukraine won't get more weapons, more money, right,
- 16:07they might actually have to kind of sue for peace. A big concern obviously
- 16:11on regardless of the country you're in. The Conservative establishment is fairly hawkish on
- 16:19Ukraine as well, which is a sad thing. But I like the fact
- 16:22that JD events isn't I think that's important. I mean, that does align
- 16:26with Trump, right, Trump says day one he's going to start working on
- 16:30a peace deal for Ukraine. That's good. I think people want to hear
- 16:33that. All right, Let's see what else we got in here. The
- 16:37media is the enemy of the people. This is not all the media,
- 16:41just a lot of it. Let's see. If CNN's Van Jones is sad,
- 16:45then I can sleep even better tonight. Well, he's said because he
- 16:48thinks that the you know, the the war in Ukraine may end sooner than
- 16:52he'd like it too, So I guess I guess we're supposed to feel sorry
- 16:56for him. No matter who comes next. They'll always say this, yeah,
- 17:00because it is just a game at that point, and really, for
- 17:03the level of CNN, it's it's just a game. Right. Let's see,
- 17:07maybe I'm too critical of JD. Evans. If the liberals hate him,
- 17:10then he must be a lot more conservative than I think. Mm hmm.
- 17:14But again, they'll just hate anybody. It doesn't matter anyway. That's
- 17:18all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share and subscribe. Sharing
- 17:21really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you
- 17:23next time.
