1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.839
Callaroga shark media from the Republican National
Convention, We're never say never Trump.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.199
This is valid. That's right.
The Republicans have picked their nominee for VP,

3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.960
and a guy that I think was
Tommy from Podsave America gave me a

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.960
dirty look over by the pretzel stand. Let's hit this well, folks.

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.000
I know you heard from me already
today, but I have a press credential

6
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.800
and I'm gonna use it. It
looks like Donald Trump has finally picked his

7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.600
political prom date and the lucky winner
is none other than JD. Vance,

8
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.840
the man who went from never Trump
to Trump's BFF faster than you can say

9
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:48.600
political opportunism. Trump announced his decision
on truth Social because nothing says presidential like

10
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.000
making major announcements on a social media
platform that sounds like it was named by

11
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.039
a five year old. Vance,
the author of Hillbilly Elegy and apparently how

12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.320
to Flip Flop Your Way to the
White House, has come a long way

13
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.280
since he was liking tweets speculating about
serving in a Hillary Clinton administration. Talk

14
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.760
about a plot twist, But don't
worry. Vance has proven his mega credentials.

15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.799
He stood by Trump during his hush
money trial, because nothing says I

16
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.560
believe in you like showing up to
a criminal proceeding. He's also skeptical that

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.079
Mike Pence's life was ever in danger
on January sixth. I guess he thinks

18
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.239
those hang Mike Pence chants were just
a friendly suggestion. Well, folks,

19
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.359
it looks like we've got ourselves a
real life Cinderella story here, except instead

20
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.920
of a glass slipper, JD.
Vance is trying on a Maga hat for

21
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.079
size. Our boy. JD went
from the hills of Kentucky to the halls

22
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.079
of Yale faster than you can say
cultural whiplash. He's like a walking country

23
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.560
song, poor childhood, military service, and now he's married to a big

24
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.079
city lawyer. I'm waiting for the
verse about his dog dying. Vance's relationship

25
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.000
with Trump is more on again,
off again than a teenage romance. He

26
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.400
went from calling Trump America's hitler to
Trump's bestie faster than you can say political

27
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:10.360
opportunism. I guess in politics,
yesterday's never Trumper is today's VP pick Now.

28
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.439
Vance is part of the New Right, which is like the political equivalent

29
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.560
of a midlife crisis, rejecting all
the old Republican ideas and buying a metaphorical

30
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.520
red sports car. He's playing both
sides of the aisle like a political DJ,

31
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:30.080
mixing some bipartisan beats with Elizabeth Warren
while dropping some conservative bass with anti

32
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.439
diversity bills. It's like he's trying
to win America's got political talent on abortion.

33
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.120
Vance has performed more piroetes than a
ballet dancer. He's gone from bannett

34
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.080
all to well maybe not all,
faster than you can say mid term elections.

35
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.560
I'll tell you here in the building, people are really excited about JD.

36
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.639
Vance, a man who's reinvented himself
more times than Madonna, and now

37
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.960
he's Trump's pick for VP. It's
like watching a shape shifter play political twister.

38
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.000
Stay tuned for more coverage of this
fascinating political cameleon. Meanwhile, it

39
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.560
looks like Hollywoods attempt to recast the
presidency has flopped harder than Gigly at the

40
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.840
box office. Just when the dump
Biden movement was gaining more momentum than a

41
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.280
Marvel franchise, Trump goes and survives
an assassination attempt. Talk about stealing the

42
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.159
spotlight. It's like the universe decided
to write its own plot twist. Now

43
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.159
Hollywood's A listers are backpedaling faster than
Tom Cruise running in a movie. George

44
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.800
Clooney, Rob Reiner, Michael Douglas, They're all suddenly as quiet as a

45
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.360
mime convention. I guess they're deeply, deeply concerned. Tweets got lost in

46
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.319
the mail, But the real drama
is happening behind the scenes, and it's

47
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.280
got more backstabbing than a season of
Game of Thrones. The target of everyone's

48
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:51.319
ire Jeffrey Katzenberg, Biden's campaign co
chair and apparently Hollywood's new favorite villain.

49
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.120
Katzenberg, the guy who brought a
Shrek in the short lived Quibbi because who

50
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.919
doesn't want to watch TV shows shorter
than TikTok videos, has been a que

51
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.479
overselling Biden's mental fitness. It's like
he thought he could market the president the

52
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.520
same way he marketed Boss Baby.
One exec said Katzenberg viewed Biden like an

53
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.199
animated character. Well, I guess
that explains why the President keeps saying to

54
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:20.160
infinity and beyond at press conferences.
Meanwhile, Barry Diller, Katzenberg's old boss

55
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.000
and apparently the only person in Hollywood
without a pitchfork right now is defending him.

56
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.480
It's touching, really like watching the
last two survivors in a political horror

57
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.240
movie. So there you have it, folks, Hollywood's Dump Biden movement has

58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.519
been put on ice faster than Walt
Disney. Stay tuned for the next episode

59
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.879
of As the Hollywood Turns Political.
Addition, I hear the writer's strike is

60
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.759
over and boy do they have material. Now that's it for now. I'm

61
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.160
gonna see if Jake Tapper wants to
grab a bite for dinner.
