I just asked the chat, if you're listening to the podcast, I asked the chat as we were about to get the show started, does everyone want me to address the Susie Wiles Vanity Fair thing from yesterday, from Tuesday? And I got pretty overwhelming yeses. We got some nos, but we got some overwhelming yeses. So I'll give you my quick rundown on this story if you'd like. And here's what I'm thinking about all of it. So yesterday morning, the New York Times, I said Vanity Fair, but let me start. The New York Times runs a derivative piece, like a condensed, heavily distorted recitation of the Vanity Fair interviews that Susie Wiles has apparently been doing over the course of the entire Trump administration. She did 11 of these things with a guy called Chris Whipple, which is a hilarious name, but she was talking to this guy pretty candidly. And in her candid conversations with this Vanity Fair reporter, she said a couple of things, including that she said that President Trump has an alcoholic's personality. Now, that got drilled down to just that quote. The New York Times delivered it as, oh, he's got an alcoholic personality. Susie Wiles crapping all over President Trump. And they made it seem like she was just completely out of control and she hated everybody around her and she was shit talking the whole administration. That was the frame up from the New York Times yesterday. But if you spend five minutes actually looking for the details on all of this, you begin to realize that the New York Times had really distorted what the hell Susie Wiles was even saying. And Vanity Fair, for its part, was also trying to imply that there was some sort of underlying drama going on between various members of the administration. Susie Wiles, the president, J.D. vance, Marco Rubio. It was all kind of one big wrap up smear. And insofar as Susie Wiles has any culpability here, it's in talking to Vanity Fair. Nothing that she said in these interviews. And by the way, she's not denying any of the quotes. Nothing that she said is actually controversial or crazy or worth throwing a shit fit over. In fact, it was all fine. I have some quibbles, a couple policy quibbles with her. I'll get into those in just a moment. But for the most part, it was totally fine. Certainly the interpersonal stuff, I wasn't scandalized by any of it. The worst thing is that she talked to Vanity Fair. Who gives a shit about Vanity Fair? Why are we even talking to these useless, dried up, shriveled, feckless, dangerous in the past, certainly, and useless publications who have no bearing on the average American. It's like kind of like an old way of thinking. It's like, why don't we suck up the Vanity Fair? Maybe they'll give us glowing coverage. They're not going to give you glowing coverage. They took a bunch of shitty photos of you, put them online, and then tried to crap all over you after you gave them rampant access. How many times do you have to get smacked by these evildoers before you realize they're never going to play ball with you, they're never going to be nice to you, and you're never going to come out looking even fair, Forget good, even just given a fair treatment. So stop talking to Vanity Fair. That's the sin in all this. But the rest of it, it's a joke. It's a joke. It used to be in the old days, a decade ago or 20 years ago, if you had an interview that didn't go well with Vanity Fair, oh, no, it could actually signal the end of your political career. You'd have to be like, getting your resume together, get your cardboard box, carry everything out of the office. Nowadays, it's a total joke. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Yesterday, the whole Trump administration rallied behind Susie Wiles. They're like, she's great. She's actually kind of holding the whole thing together. She's been a wonderful chief of staff. And as Don Jr said yesterday, while so many other Republicans were abandoning Donald Trump after the 2020 election, Suzy Wiles didn't. She stayed by his side, she fought with him, and she helped get him across the finish line in 2024. Susie Wiles is loyal to President Trump, and in turn, President Trump is loyal to her. Yesterday, President Trump said he's perfectly fine with Susie Wiles. He's very happy with her. They met yesterday, they talked, and everything seems to be going great. And God willing, it continues to be the case. But let me dwell on some of the big items for a moment. The quotes that everybody's obsessing over this whole thing that Donald Trump has an alcoholic's personality. What do you think she's talking about? What do you think she's even talking about? Donald Trump doesn't drink. So the media are pretending, obviously, like, Donald Trump is a total drunk. That explains why he's so crazy. No, it doesn't even make any sense. That recitation of facts. So once you actually start looking at the quotes, here's what you learn. Susie Wiles was reflecting on the big personalities that she's known throughout her own life that would include her own father, the famous Pat Summerall. Most of us know him by his long time existence and work in the booth, in the football booth alongside John Madden, the legendary Pat Summerall. Pat Summerall was an alcoholic. She grew up with an alcoholic father. And fortunately for Pat Summerall and their family, the final two decades of his life, he was completely sober. He was able to conquer that particular issue in his life. But he was a big personality, is what she was explaining to this interviewer. She was trying to open up her heart. She was explaining the way she thinks about the world. And she said that alcoholics tend to, especially when they're drinking, have these grandiose views of what they can achieve, these sort of unfettered views of the world and what they can actually accomplish. And if you've ever encountered somebody like this, you know exactly what she's talking about. But here's the difference. When she says Donald Trump has an alcoholic's personality, she's not saying he's a drunk, she's saying that he similarly has limitless views about what he's able to achieve, except he doesn't drink. So you get someone who is literally incapacitated by their drinking, saying ridiculous grandiose things, versus a guy who has limitless thinking, who's not a drunk. He's not a drunk at all. In fact, he has spent his life using that limitless thinking to achieve great wealth for himself, great success for himself. And he's now turned around and he's using those skills for the rest of us. So what was really going on was Susie Wiles was just being plain spoken. She was talking to you like talking to that reporter as if he was her friend. Like the kind of thing you might say in your kitchen over a glass of wine as you assess what it's like to work for President Trump. And by the way, if that's the worst that she said about him, the real story is that Susie Wiles actually thinks very highly of Donald Trump. She wasn't crapping on him. In her most candid moments, she was saying that he's a man with limitless thinking. It's actually a compliment for the guy. So the whole thing has been turned into something that it's not is basically the point that I'm making. And Vanity Fair, for its part, in the way that they distorted this too, they described a moment where J.D. vance was having his photos taken, and he says to the photographer, I'll pay you $100 for every person who you take a photo of who looks shittier than I do. In other words, like, make everybody else look crappy. That was J.D. vance's joke. And then he goes, and if it's Marco, I'll give you $1,000. Vanity Fair described that as, quote, underlying tension being revealed in the administration. Now, I don't know what world these idiots, but here's the world that I come from. If I tell a photographer, hey, will you make sure that all my buddies look shittier than I do, would you do that? What is that? Well, one, it's self effacing, suggesting that I look shitty to begin with, and two, it's ribbing. It's just giving your boys a little bit of shit. That's the whole point. These humorless idiots write it down as if it's a sign of drama in the administration. Now, is there gonna be disagreements, and perhaps very vocal disagreements going on between people inside of any administration? Yes, these are a bunch of alphas. These are type A personalities, all showing up to work every day with perhaps in some cases small, but also big differences of opinion about the way to get things done. But they all work for the final decider, the one guy, the guy you elected the President of the United States. And that's the way that guy has to forge ahead. We live in a world where there's way less drama in this Trump administration than there was in the first one. So while everybody's trying to, like, create drama like Vanity Fair in the New York Times, the rest of us, we should be laughing it off. It's stupid. And you and I both know, how many rodeos have we been through now? We both know that we are literally one truth social post away from the media, moving on to the next thing and pretending like it's the smear or the scandal that's gonna take down the Trump presidency. So again, AJD 1063, I hope that you're not talking to me because that's a dumb opinion. Stop making excuses for unforced errors. I'm not making excuses for any unforced errors. I started my conversation by saying Susie Wiles should not have talked to Vanity Fair. That's the mistake here. But the rest of it, the lasting consequences, it's bullshit. It means nothing. It means nothing. Literally, everyone's gonna move on. The people who love Trump and the people who hate him, everybody's gonna move on. I've seen this too many times. I have a Vulcan, like, assessment of the way these things go. It's all very stupid. It's all completely stupid. Also, apparently Susie Wiles said in the quotes that J.D. vance is. What did he say? What did she say? She said he's been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. And J.D. yesterday goes. He was in Allentown, Pennsylvania, yesterday. And he goes, conspiracy theorists. You're damn right I'm a conspiracy theorist. The only things I'm a conspiracy theorist about are all the things that end up being real conspiracies. He says, and boy, do we have a lot of evidence for that. You know, Trump Russia collusion was a complete hoax. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was, of course, the source of the virus. You know, the masks don't work. There's, you know, the jab doesn't stop transmission. You know, the jab actually has, in many cases, terrible consequences for people. Oh, he's a conspiracy theorist. At this point, if you don't theorize about the conspiracies that are being done against us, you have not been paying attention to the conspiracies that have been done against us. So Good. Good for J.D. vance. That's it. All right. Calypso Bike says let's. All right, then let's move on. And because Calypso Bikes is the producer of this program, we will now move on. Thank you, Calypso. All right, so here's the thing that we get. So I said to you a moment ago, we get. We're one truth social post away from everybody going hysterical about something else. Well, sure enough, we got a truth social post. We got a truth social post last night from the President of the United States about Venezuela. And of course, the media are going apoplectic, apoplectic about all of this. And here's what the President said. You ready for this? I'm gonna break it down for you. Cuz I think people need to understand what the hell's going on in Venezuela. Our media have no idea, by the way. Like, we've got all sorts of people in the legacy press. What is Trump talking about? He's just making stuff up. He's really. He's making stuff up. All right, let's assess it. Here's what President Trump said in the truth Social piece. Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before. Until such time as they return to the United States of America. All of the oil, land and other assets that they previously stole from us. You got that? Oil, land, other assets that they previously stole from us. Dwell on that. All right, we'll get back to it. The illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil from these stolen oil fields to finance themselves. Drug, terrorism, human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping. For the theft of our assets and many other reasons, including terrorism, drug smuggling, and human trafficking, the Venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization. Therefore, today I am ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela. The illegal aliens and the criminals that the Maduro regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden administration are now being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow criminals, terrorists, or other countries to rob, threaten, or harm our nation, and likewise will not allow a hostile regime to take our oil, our land, or any other assets, all of which must be returned to the United States immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. All right, so here's the reaction we're seeing today. And I saw it immediately last night after President Trump posted this. He posted this 646 Eastern Time. And going into last night, into the evening, I can't tell you how many legacy media idiots I saw posting online. President Trump is making this up. Venezuela hasn't taken anything from us. What land did Venezuela take? What oil did they take? What is he even talking about? He's so crazy. Get him out of there. The guy's a nut job. And as usual, they're either ignorant or they're lying, or some degree of both. And here's what's going on. The United States built Venezuela's oil industry. Let me repeat that. The United States is responsible. US Industry is responsible for building Venezuela's oil industry. That is true. But these days, the United States does not control what we built. Why is that? Did we sell it off willingly? Did we give it to them as a gift? Did we say, hey, we're just gonna walk away from the largest proven reserves on the entire planet? Hundreds of billions of barrels of oil have been found. Is that what we're doing? No, that's not what we did. In fact, as you know, the former Communist leader of that country, Hugo Chavez, and now Nicolas Maduro, his understudy, have, over the course of the last few decades, been stealing from us. So when the President says they were stealing, they were literally stealing from us. How did they do that? Well, if you go back to, for instance, 2007. Let's go to 2007. 2007, when you still have Hugo Chavez in charge. Check out this headline at the time. This is from the Record online. Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips and had to pull out of their Venezuela oil projects. Why is that? Well, the US oil giants Exxon and ConocoPhillips decided that they were not going to sell majority stakes in their Venezuelan oil presence to the country of Venezuela. In that case, Hugo Chavez was demanding, you want to stay in my country, you have to sell the majority of your company's operations here to us. We will take, not just sell it, we're gonna take majority ownership of it. So that way we can collect the profits of your work, of your efforts, of what you built. We want the profits was the position that Hugo Chavez took. So they began to steal it. They stole it. And so Exxon and Conoco said, we're not interested in that, we're not doing that. So they moved out of the country entirely. Exxon and ConocoPhillips said, We're getting out now. Chevron did not. By the way, Chevron gave up a majority of the control of their operations in Venezuela to the Venezuelans. They made a decision to give up huge portions of their operations rather than give up all of their business in the country. But they did it under duress. They did it with a gun to their head. So Chevron was forced to give up a ton. And then ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, they just left the country entirely. And when they did, they left their contracts behind, their oil drilling behind, their infrastructure behind. And Venezuela seized all of it. They stole it. They stole it. So after we built it, Venezuela stole it. That's what happened under Hugo Chavez. Additionally, this happened again under Nicolas Maduro. Maduro also has seized oil assets from oil companies based in the United States, American oil companies, including in 2013 when Maduro seized oil rigs from a Houston based company called Superior Energy Services. They have a state oil monopoly. They steal everything from us. And finally President Trump is saying, we're gonna do something about this. So insofar as, like the media are pretending like this doesn't happen, this is a total fiction. They haven't taken anything from us. That's not true at all. It's entirely true that the Venezuelans, led by Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, have been stealing what we built and they didn't. That's just the truth. And so that brings us to kind of the point of the President's remarks. Now what is the President doing, excuse me, what is Venezuela doing with the ill gotten oil proceeds that they're stealing from us? Well, the answer to that is they're funding terror, they're funding the drug trade, they're using their oil industry to supercharge and underbid us, by the way, supercharge some of the biggest adversaries we have on the planet. You know that 80% of Venezuela's oil exports go to China? 80%. So the Chinese are all over South America. They're definitely in bed with Venezuela and they're taking massive amounts of oil exports directly from that country, which again is under sanctions from the United States. That if for those of you playing along at home, you'll be reminded that's also true from Iran as well. Remember, Iran sends 90% of its oil exports to China. So China is the reason that these horrific regimes who are continuing creating chaos on our planet, often at the expense of the United States of America, specifically China, is the reason that they continue to be supercharged. So if you're wondering what's leading to this, well, there are a whole bunch of things leading to this moment. From the sanctions to the Chinese influence over Venezuela, to the President trying to restore order, especially in the Western hemisphere, to the drug trade, to the trafficking, to the cartels. President Trump is sincere about this. And now the Navy is surrounding the country of Venezuela and the President just announced it now. I've got more on this in a moment. Cuz I do want to talk about, you know, what the hell is going on with American energy right now and what is the administration saying about this? We got a big address from the President of the United States today. I think this is a big opportunity for him to lay a lot of this out. More on that in just a moment on this edition of Vince.

By the way, Stephen Miller is weighing in this morning on what's going on. I like Stephen Miller because he's smart and very capable of explaining what the hell is happening in our country right now. Miller said the following. He said American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Created it its tyrannical expropriation. Expropriation is a fancy word for theft. The tyrannical theft of our stuff was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property ever. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries and drugs. Which leads me to what the President of the United States should do tonight. President Trump has announced that he has an address to the nation this evening at 9pm it is incumbent on this White House to explain all of this as carefully and as clearly as humanly possible. And I think it's gonna take multiple people. President Trump obviously has a very blunt presentation. He's just gonna state flatly the most basic recitation of the facts. He's very good at it, great communicator, great at, I think, winning people over. So he's gonna be really important to this mission. But tonight he as he's talking about looking back at this last year and then looking forward to the next. I think it's incumbent on the President and the White House to really carefully explain why is it that the United States Navy is surrounding an entire country right now and blockading the oil that's going in and out of it. I think Americans deserve a really clear request from our leaders that we all buy in to what's going on. That's really critical because I know your instincts are like mine, which is we've arrived at a place where we're suspicious of the use of our military by any party. We want clear answers on how this directly serves the American interest. Now, I've pointed out this is the theft of American goods. This is the theft of American industry. That is true. President Trump is not lying about that and all of this has been used to finance some of the most dastardly and despicable things that have happened to the United States of America. And as we know from US History, it is important that we have control of the Western Hemisphere. We can't allow China to have a foothold all over South America. We can't allow this chaos to continue. We need to bring stability to our hemisphere as the Monroe doctrine for the 21st century and President Trump seems to be enforcing it. But you and I can't be the only ones who are thinking like this and talking about this. And so I think it's important that the president use tonight to explain really clearly what's going on. And then beyond that, send the guys out who are great at explaining it. Send the Stephen Millers out, send the J.D. vance's out, send the Energy Secretary Chris Wright out, send Pete Hegseth out. Just get just. And Caroline Levitt, who could forget Caroline Levitt, deploy the field and just get everybody out there and making sure that the American people are bought in. That's really, really crystal clear. And we'll see where this goes from here. What one other thing on energy, and then we've got so much to get to and I'm hoping I can fit it all in today. One other thing on energy, right now, energy prices are relatively low, are relatively low. And that's for a number of reasons. President Trump has kicked down all the regulatory barriers to American energy production. That's been a huge thing. It's been great for the American energy industry. But another facet of this is President Trump has not gotten in the way and in fact has kind of encouraged all the oil producing countries around the world that we're working with, in particular the Arab countries, to keep producing vast quantities of energy to export all around the planet because President Trump is trying to bring energy prices down entirely. Now, I'll tell you, for those of you work in the American energy industry, this is not, ironically, as much as President Trump is not getting in the way in a regulatory way, ironically, it's also put a damper on the profits of the industry, the energy industry. And with oil, with barrel prices getting down to around $55 a barrel, you know, you talk to oil energy experts and they're like, well, it's better if it's in between like 60 to $80 a barrel, because if it is, you're generating profits, you're covering your expenses, you can drill new wells. It creates incentives to actually pursue more energy production. So we're in an interesting moment. What's happening right now is President Trump is encouraging both American energy production and also international production. He's also doing that. And the reason for that, I think you and I can kind of instinctively tell, is he's trying to bring down energy prices as low as possible because he knows that that's gonna supercharge the rest of the economy. The cheaper the energy is, the more the rest of the economy will be stimulated. Does that mean the energy industry is gonna kind of take it in the shorts for a little bit? Potentially. Potentially. But the long tail expectations are if the whole economy starts skyrocketing as a result of these moves, both bringing down the cost of energy and bringing down the cost of the dollar, which President Trump is trying to do, especially by replacing Jerome Powell coming on coming up next year. If he can do those things, he thinks he's gonna be able to stimulate a lot of capital investment in the United States. It's gonna require a lot more energy consumption and that'll be a boon in the long run to the American energy industry. So he's trying to pull off kind of a perfect landing, don't you think? The idea is like he wants to stick this landing and he's moving as aggressively as possible to do that. So this conversation about energy that we're looking at right now, which includes Venezuela, to be clear, is very much all keeping in line with President Trump overall goal to stimulate the American economy to unseen levels. He's trying to attract investment, trying to get energy prices down, try to lower the price of the dollar, get a whole bunch of capital investment going into the next year and wham, bam, thank you, ma'. Am. The whole economy skyrockets. But to do this, it's not simple. This is complicated business, folks, and President Trump is trying to attack it on all fronts. So in case you're wondering what the hell's going on here, that seems to be what's going on here. That's my best assessment. We've got more ahead on the program. We've got. I wanna get to what is going on at Brown University. I think we are moving from a situation where these are like the incompetent Keystone Cops to they are actively covering up details of what happened at Brown University this past weekend. There is a cover up going on. Can you smell it? I can smell it too. We're gonna explore. Why are they doing press conferences. Have you noticed how stupid these press conferences are? Every time they open their fat sucks. They have nothing to offer but way more skepticism about what the hell's coming out of their mouths. So we'll explore that in just a moment. Before we get there, this mission of trying to fix up the country really matters, too. Rachel Bovard's gonna join us in a second. We're gonna chat with her about what's going on in the United States Senate. Because the filibuster still continues to be a barrier to saving our country. The blue slip continues to be a barrier to saving our country. And candidly, and most importantly, we have a number of United States senators who call themselves Republicans who are huge barriers to fixing our country. Rachel Bovard knows all about it. We'll talk to her in just a moment. All ahead on this edition of events. I know it's busy. I know we've got a lot to get to, but we try and pack it all in. We really do. You know, Christmas used to mean something very simple. Remember the simple thing it meant? It meant the birth of Christ. That's the most simple possible thing it could possibly mean. And it also meant family, gathering around the table, getting together, real conversation, hard work rewarded with a little time to breathe. But these days, everybody's looking for the easy way out.

Brown University is like, literally erasing entire web pages right now, not answering questions, not giving us any details, and deleting things that already exist on the Internet. What the hell is this exactly? We'll talk about it. That's ahead. But first, Rachel Bovard is here with us today. She joins us from the Conservative Policy Institute. She's got a lot of experience in the United States Senate, and we turn to her oh so frequently for information on what the heck is going on in the Senate. Rachel Bovard, great to see you. Merry Christmas.
