The Other JD Vance, Trump’s Desk Theater, and MTG Turns on Trump

Show Notes
Transcript

A man named James Donald Vance Jr. was arrested for threatening to kill President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, leading to the most confusing Secret Service paperwork in American history. We dig into Trump printing out his own social media posts like a one-man scrapbook, Keith Urban performing an LGBTQ+ anthem at Mar-a-Lago, and the latest MAGA-versus-MAGA meltdown as Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Trump a “traitor” while standing with Epstein survivors. It’s the kind of political circus where the clown car is driving itself and we’re all just hanging on.

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:11.480
Caalarouga Shark media from Washington, d C. Where jd Vance

2
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.439
was threatened by jd Vance. This is ballot. We live

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:16.960
in a world where Marjorie Taylor Green is the same.

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:23.640
What's even happening? I'm Patrick Guttfield and a man named

5
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.120
James Donald Vance Junior, who goes by jd Vance, was

6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.160
sentenced Monday to two years in prison for threatening to

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.479
kill President Trump and Vice President jd Vance. Yes, a

8
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.280
jd Vance threatened jd Vance. The Secret Service arrested jd

9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.520
Vance after he posted threats on social media saying he'd

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.359
kill the president and vice president. The confusion here is understandable.

11
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.920
When Secret Service agents showed up looking for jd Vance

12
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.719
who threatened jd Vance, at least they knew they had

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.079
the right name. Vice President Vance, the one who's not

14
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.280
in prison, has had several names throughout his life, as

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.480
detailed in his memoir Hill Billy Elegy, but probably none

16
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.359
of them involved federal charges. That's the other jd Vance

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.519
easy mistake to make. Keith Urban performed at mar A

18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.920
Lago over the weekend for Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, and

19
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
his song choice has people asking questions urban covered Chapel

20
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.959
Roan's Pink Pony Club and LGBTQ plus anthem inspired by

21
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.439
a famous West Hollywood gay bar at mar A Lago

22
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.560
for a billionaire Trump's resort. Chapel Roane, who paused her

23
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.439
Los Angeles concert last month to cuss out Ice, has

24
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.120
not commented, but her fans have thoughts. One said, how

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.680
dare he take a queer song from a queer icon

26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.640
and play it at that place? Which is fair? There's

27
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.519
probably a shorter list of places less appropriate for Pink

28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.799
Pony Club than mar A Lago, but you'd have to

29
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.879
work at it. Other fans pointed out this isn't the

30
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.280
first LGBTQ plus anthem embraced by the Trump crowd. Trump

31
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.760
himself has used The Village People's ymcaight at CA countless events.

32
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.480
Nothing says traditional values like dancing to a song by

33
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.239
a disco group dressed as a cop, a construction worker,

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.280
and a cowboy. The Village People wrote YMCA about cruising

35
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.240
at the gym, and it became a wedding reception staple.

36
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.439
Now it's a MAGA rally closer full circle. Breaking news

37
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.800
from the Oval Office, where presidential work now apparently means

38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.599
printing out your own social media posts like some kind

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:31.400
of narcississistic scrapbooker. Picture this Trump's desk a shrine to

40
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.919
self promotion. Each tweet gets its own pristine piece of

41
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.400
paper printed out with the care and precision usually reserved

42
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.080
for wedding invitations. But wait, there's more presidential performance art.

43
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.360
A glass on the resolute desk without a coaster. That's

44
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.919
either peak confidence or total disregard for historic furniture. I'm

45
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.639
betting on option two and the cherry on this absurdity. Sunday,

46
00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.199
Trump wasn't even in Washington while senators were posting about

47
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.520
working hard. He was living it up in mar A Lago,

48
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.439
probably practicing his golf swing and throwing a party that

49
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.240
would make a Gatsby look budget. This isn't a workday.

50
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.159
This is a performance, a one man show titled Look

51
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.360
how Hard I'm Working, starring Donald Trump, directed by his

52
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.560
own ego. In the world of presidential optics, this is

53
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.280
less leader of the Free World and more middle manager

54
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:37.039
who just discovered the prince screen button. Marjorie Taylor Green

55
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.719
held a press conference alongside survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, and

56
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.680
she went after Donald Trump, the man she's defended for

57
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.039
six years, calling him out for labeling her Marjorie Trader Green.

58
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.919
Over the weekend, Trump dumped Green after she criticized his

59
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.919
handling of the Epstein investigation, and Green was not happy

60
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.879
about it. I was called a trader by a man

61
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.360
that I fought for six years for, and I gave

62
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.759
him my loyalty for free, she said, for free, like

63
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.599
loyalty is something you're supposed to charge for. I would

64
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.000
have been loyal for money, but I did it pro bono.

65
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.319
That's how dedicated I was. She went on, I won

66
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.680
my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in

67
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.279
a primary. And I've never owed him anything, which is

68
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.680
a fascinating thing to say after spending six years acting

69
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.439
like you owe him everything. It's like breaking up with

70
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.759
someone and immediately saying and another thing, I never even

71
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:37.680
liked you, okay, Marjorie Sure. Then Green really twisted the knife.

72
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.199
She said, what, let me tell you what a trader is.

73
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.560
A trader is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.

74
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.920
A patriot is an American that serves the United States

75
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.079
of America and Americans like the women standing behind me, now. So,

76
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.240
just to be clear, Green is implying Trump is the trader.

77
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.360
Marjorie Taylor Green, who has spent years defending Trump through

78
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.480
two impeachment, an insurrection, for indictments, and approximately nine hundred scandals,

79
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.040
just called him a trader in front of Epstein, survivors

80
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.319
and a bunch of cameras. This is the same woman

81
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.319
who said Jewish space lasers started wildfires, the same woman

82
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.439
who was stripped of her committee assignments, the same woman

83
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.639
who tried to impeach Joe Biden on day one, and

84
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.839
now she's the reasonable one standing with survivors while Trump

85
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.920
calls her a trader on social media. I don't know

86
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.399
what Timeline were in anymore, but I won off this ride.

87
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.639
It's as if portions of today's show were made with

88
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:33.480
the help of AI
