00:03:20.080You could also make the claim that J.D. Vance believes in nothing.
00:03:24.660He's a hillbilly nihilist, and he just says talking points, doesn't believe it, whether it's eating cats or nationalism or invading Iran, just whatever.
00:04:01.520Now, you could make all of these arguments, and they're maybe equally plausible, but what do you think of J.D. Vance, where he was, where he is, and how he's positioned as Trump's successor?
00:04:16.240I feel like he's toast, as things stand, unless somehow they're able to, like, pull some rabbit out of a, let's say they turn this around and make the Iran war into a tremendous success.
00:04:27.860Maybe they'll get away with it, but that's a long shot.
00:04:31.380It's probably even a longer shot than the people are going to rise up.
00:04:35.000I feel Vance suffered two really mortal blows to his credibility.
00:04:39.520One was the expose that Nick Fuentes did at the height of Fuentes mania last year.
00:05:04.200And during that time, he absolutely exposed Vance in forensic detail, showed all the connections with Peter Thiel and so on.
00:05:12.720And so in a way, and a lot of people watch that, like into the millions, watch that one.
00:05:17.300And because of that, I think people were primed to see Vance as a bit of a fake.
00:05:22.420I also think that your friend RFH and various other Mean Girl posse on Twitter, I think they also did a real job on him with the, the fat face Vance to the point where he actually had to reclaim it.
00:05:35.640And if you want to talk about online and reality merging in a weird place, I remember Vance came to this country because he started slagging off British soldiers or something, which made Vance hated him.
00:05:48.760Vance is hated in this country, even more than Trump because of those comments he made about British soldiers.
00:05:53.580And so when he came here, and obviously the left hates him anyway, but I think he turned off a lot of patriots too.
00:05:59.740When he came here, they put, they had these massive trucks, like with billboards of the fat Vance face going down the streets.
00:06:07.680So the real life meme had now made it into a physical, like a six foot physical object going down the street.
00:06:15.920And I think he was so nailed by it that he had no choice in the end to then to try to reclaim the meme himself.
00:06:23.180So he then started posting Vance fat face memes, right?
00:06:27.520It's all fun and games, but I think that did real damage to his credibility and also in with it, there's this horrible, there was this sense when Vance became the VP that, oh my God, he's one of us.
00:06:40.460He's within one degree of separation from following me on Twitter.
00:06:44.160So he's a mutual, some of my mutuals are his mutuals and things like that.
00:07:00.720Not only is it not that exciting, it's not that exciting because what they're doing is taking a few aesthetics and ideas and watering them down.
00:07:09.560But also by the same token, it's like, why are you looking for my approval?
00:07:14.880Isn't that weird that you're all looking for my approval all the time?
00:07:59.340And now, whether he likes it or not, he's part of the campaign that's doing the one thing that he and Trump said they'd never do, which is bomber art.
00:09:00.620And what he does is he allows himself to be a screen onto which you project your hopes and dreams.
00:09:10.400And for example, and maybe this isn't even the best example, but he could say something like, if I were president, the Ukraine war never would have happened.
00:09:20.180And OK, so the Ukrainian supporters, they're like, oh, he must be one of us.
