And I mean, everybody hates smokey eye sociopath JD Vance. He is reaching Ted Cruz levels of hate. Everybody is drinking their haterade and spewing it right back at him because he deserves it. Play the clip of JD Vance trying to be a man of the people walking through Union Station to go to Shake Shack right there. Oh, look, it's couch. You gonna fuck a couch, buddy right here? Do not. I love it. I love every single bit of it. Screaming couch. This man deserves to be publicly ridiculed. He is a gaslighter. He is a liar. He is a propagandist. He evil. He opposes the Constitution. He opposes equal rights. He smokes his eye out with eyeliner all the time and then has the audacity to talk about masculinity and to browbeat the LGBTQ+ community when this M effort is one news cycle away from popping a full blown smokey eye with like, a tail.

Here's the thing. You have to be authentic to be popular. Donald Trump is authentically a complete fucking lunatic. J.D. vance, nobody knows who he is. He's eating, you know, he's fucking couches. He's eating dogs and cats. But him going to Shake Shack is the least authentic thing I've ever seen a vice president do. And I absolutely love the fact that people are having no part of it.
Saagar Enjeti
One little, one little nuance there. I would say that to the people that wake up, that decide I'm going to be willfully stupid today, to them, Trump feels authentic because he's plain spoken. J.D. vance is unable to capture that. I mean, this is a. He likes to lean into. I'm from West Virginia, but he has been completely queer eyed in Silicon Valley and now is parading and sashaying around D.C. and everybody hates his guts. And then I don't know why or who thought that this next clip would be a good idea. So you have J.D. vance reaching Ted Cruz levels of we hate your guts and he decides to stand around with Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller. I mean, like a trifecta of unfuckable. The most hated people in this administration you could ever imagine. Play the clip.
Muriel Bowser
Some. Some violent, crazy people who are screaming at kids with a. Crazy liberals who are screaming at the Vice President. But I think that's a very worthwhile trade to make because we want our people to be able to enjoy our beautiful cities. And the last thing I'll say is to The American people, D.C. is already safer than it was nine days ago, but we're going to make it safer still to Come, this is your city. You should feel free to come and visit here, have a meal, see all these incredible monuments and actually enjoy yourself. And that's what we're trying to make happen. And I think that if we set a standard in Washington D.C. that political willpower can bring some common sense, law and order back to these communities, then maybe some other communities and other cities will follow suit. So it's kind of crazy. You hear these guys outside, they appear to hate the idea that Americans can enjoy their communities. And they do. The fact that D.C. a week ago had a higher murder rate than Trinidad and Tobago, which.
Saagar Enjeti
JD here's the idea that those Americans hate while you stand there and whine like a titty baby with your grievances. You shouldn't have run for the big seat. If you can't take it, because that's part of it. You run to be a politician. You start deporting people, which I've read a report that 71% of all people that have been detained have zero criminal record. This is wildly unpopular. People don't like your eyeliner. People think you're a religious whack job hypocrite. People think you're a racist and even demean your own wife. But the reason that people don't like you and stand around and do that is because you're a fascist and you don't have the riz. And you sit there and try to do the bullshit and it just falls flat even with the cult. This guy is an absolute danger and we all have to keep our eyes on him because I'm telling you guys, with everything in me, they are going to do everything in their power. Trump telegraphs everything he wants to do. He's talked about taking away mail in ballots. He's talked about starting a war so that there doesn't have to be an election. We see headlines coming out about sending troops to Venezuela. We see headlines coming out about starting a war with Mexico. These people are not effing around. They are serious. They will not cede power. J.D. vance, little smokey eye sociopath, has been chosen by the wealthy oligarchs that want to do away with democracy. That's their guy. That is their guy. So we have to be serious. We bullied the shit out of Target. It worked. If we keep this up, this works. But this is going to be the fight of our country's life right now. We cannot relent. I completely agree.
Krystal Ball
I mean, they are trying everything they can to stay away from the midterms. And I just find it so rich that as he sits there and whines, he talks about respect. This motherfucker can't even respect his wife. So why does he think he deserves respect? And I also find it interesting that he says they don't. They hate their city being safe. No, they hate you. They hate fascism. And then why does MAGA always say, oh, well, it's the liberals that are objecting? No, look at the polls. Republicans and independents are rejecting it too, because it turns out Americans like democracy. I mean, he sucks so bad. And you're right, he can't lead the cult because he has no riz.
Saagar Enjeti
And I think it's very important to point out, because they are trying to brand this and they do it over and over and over via repetition is what authoritarians do. They keep saying over and over, democrats like crime, Democrats want crime. Nobody likes crime. Everybody wants to live safely. The best ways to enact a strong opposition to crime is to lift people out of poverty. That is one of the best things to do. But their policies don't align with that because their policies are more in line with cruelty and sending people to concentration camps. Moving along, this guy is just about as psychotic as he gets. The fact that this guy is even remotely close to the president, and this is a lot of people say this is kind of his presidency because, you know, Kanks has so much dementia. So we got Kanks running around playing decorator. Meanwhile, Stephen Miller has this psychotic, psychotic meltdown right next to J.D. vance. Because these people are whiners, they're titty babies, and they can't handle criticism. Play the clip.
Stephen Miller
Demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all of these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never happen. This is not a city that has had any safety for its black citizens for generations. And President Trump is the one who.
Muriel Bowser
Is fixing that with the support of.
Stephen Miller
The Metropolitan Police Department, the support of the National Guard, and our federal law enforcement officers. So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies.
Saagar Enjeti
Okay, I want to stop right there. It is incredibly rich that this MFER has the audacity to speak out for black people when his administration is unlocking centuries old whitewashing tactics of slavery. And for them to treat the black community like that with so much disrespect. Maybe that works with the rural MAGA rubes that make up your base. The quote, poorly educated, but that doesn't work. And I'm not a black person, but I have a lot of lot, a lot of black Friends, that shit doesn't work with them. They know that you all are racist. They know that you have unlocked that. And if you notice now, they've added a new term to their long list of things that are grievances. Now we've added the stupid white hippies. So in review, we have drag queens, we have LGBTQ people, we have black people, we have brown people, we have the liberal white woman. Now we have stupid white hippies. These guys hate everybody, are triggered by absolutely everybody. And the reason that these guys need to be highlighted right now is because this is the machinery behind cankles. This is the machinery that is genuinely running the country. And if you don't believe me, take a look at this headline. Donald Trump has given Vice President J.D. vance an expanded role in coordinating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. And what could end up being a crucial litmus test ahead of the 2028 election. So, two reasons I believe that he's given this to J.D. vance, J.D. vance. The first one is that he's too demented. Kankles McTaco Tits is not interested in this. Number one, number two, doesn't have the intellectual or mental capacity to even read a document regarding this. And number two, the oligarchs that have these very nefarious dark enlightenment plans for our country chose JD Vance told Donald Trump will give you millions of dollars. We'll back you, will rig the algorithms, will do all of these things if you put our boy at the number two point position.
Krystal Ball
See, my takeaway is different. I look at that and think everybody in that administration knows Putin does not want peace. So I feel like it's setting up J.D. vance to fail, and then he's the fall guy. Well, we couldn't get peace in Ukraine, between Ukraine, Ukraine and Russia because JD Vance couldn't. He wasn't equal to the task. I don't know. That could be wrong. And I just want to say a couple things about Stephen Miller, who is the most unfuckable person on the planet. He says we're here because Washington, D.C. is in the black community. That's a tell. They want to take over cities with primarily black population. Absolutely. Black mayors. But I also look at a couple things that he said. He talks about crime. They're in there because of crime, but yet he alleges that because there are protests and opposition to their presence that they're going to send in more troops. So that tells me it's not about crime at all. It's about opposition to their point of view and protest to Their point of view. I mean, he says the quiet part out loud, and that's what's so chilling to me about it.
Saagar Enjeti
Well, it's. This is about crime every bit as much to them as abortion bans are about children in life. It's never about what it says. They have a propaganda. We're going to rope in people because this works very well for the MAGA base. These are very frightened people. These people scare very easily. They could. You know, you've talked about how your mother lives in a completely, you know, gated community. She's never fallen prey to one crime, ever. But if Fox News starts beating the drum about crime, she's immediately terrified and thinks crime's all over the streets. Now, people that live in big cities, Democrats, need to be very cautious about messy messaging. This crime is very real, and it does escalate, but one of the precipitating factors in that is poverty and wages. And there are ways to tackle this. Unfortunately, when we have Kank in office, then we have to have regressive conversations and we have to say, no, we shouldn't militarize the streets. Of course we're against crime, but this is the idea to flood the zone and get people against each other. And they want to. They want to frame this as liberals are for crime. Liberals are for all of these things, which is just utter insanity. All right? And I want to remind you why I think. And pumps. I hear your point. I think J.D. vance, from everything that I've read, is positioned to be heir apparent. Donald Trump yesterday was talking about how that he wasn't doing well, that he was hoping that he got into heaven. I think they're positioning this thing. Let's face it. Kanks is about, you know, 94, 95 years old. We've seen the cankles. We know blood's not getting to the heart. We've seen the dementia. I'm going to play a clip for you right here. The reason they're placing JD Vance where they're placing him is so that he is the point person for this administration, so it's easier for him to take over. I'm not going to close the door on your theory, because I think that's possible, but they can't. Putin won't relent, so there's never going to be an autopsy on that. As long as these people are in power, it will always be shifting propaganda that won't come to a conclusion unless, you know, we really get power back and unite with Europeans and have massive sanctions. And so I just Think he's just going to take over the propaganda where they keep promoting pro Russia stuff. Because let's remember Musk is BFFs with Putin. Did a lot of chit chat with him before the election. And so I think that this is more in on passing the torch. But let's play why are they doing all of this? Why do we not see Trump running point on any of this stuff? Play the clip.
Volodymyr Zelensky
Yeah, they are, they're very good people. They're very good leaders of their countries and they want to get back to leading their country. You know, they're consumed far more with this than we are are because they're right there. You know, we have an ocean that's separating us, right thing called an ocean. Big, big beautiful ocean. And they don't, you know, they're right there. So they have to.
Saagar Enjeti
So these are your choices as an American. You can either sit and listen to Kankles McTaco Tits who I'm starting to call Kanks for short. We can either listen to him who clearly acts like a person who got a day pass from a memory wing of a nursing home and he sits in the Oval Oval Office as though it's his full time 3D coloring book and just completely Liberace the out of that. It's so bad it would make Liberace blush. Or you can listen to the complete smokey eye sociopath and his little triplet brothers that are complete American psychos. This is dangerous. These people will not stop. They will start wars. They will try to take away voting. They have the Supreme Court in their pockets. We have to stay focused. We have to be relentless.

Date: August 21, 2025
This episode delivers an unfiltered, comedic, and sharply critical analysis of the political firestorm surrounding Vice President JD Vance's public confrontation with protesters.

With a blend of outrage, humor, and cutting insight, the hosts aim to rouse listeners to action against what they see as escalating right-wing extremism.
Unapologetic, sharp, humorous, and combative, this episode mixes righteous anger and biting sarcasm to energize listeners against what the hosts describe as mounting authoritarianism and disingenuous political maneuvering. The tone is highly informal, filled with spicy language, satire, and memorable insults, signaling a fiercely progressive stance.
Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan (joined by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti for this episode) offer a raw, detailed dissection of JD Vance’s public and political failures, the administration’s repressive spin, and an urgent call for ongoing, organized resistance. Whether listeners seek catharsis or a strategic roadmap for activism, this episode brings both with conviction, color, and clarity.
