This verbabot shaft would be presented from GoFantMe. How embarrassing Vice President J.D. Vance just got humiliated at a turning point. USA event, as you can see right there, very few people showed up to see J.D. Vance speak. They like rented out a stadium, and maybe it was like one eighth full. And then J.D. Vance was getting relentlessly heckled.

He was being called out for his genocide. He was being called out for his use of religion to justify war crimes. Let me show you one part of this where Vance was heckled. Let's play this clip. It was our administration, like the administration that solved the problem.

But the President, excuse me sir, right now, right now, you see more humanitarian aid coming in the Gaza that it has any time in the past five years, because we have taken that situation. So, also Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica Kirk, was supposed to be on stage with J.D. Vance during this event, but then right before the event took place, Erica Kirk posted that there were security

“threats directed at her, and that's why she was not showing up at this empty venue.”

Erica Kirk posted, I was so looking forward to tonight's event with our Vice President J.D. Vance. But after all our family has been through, I take my security team's recommendation extremely serious. Thank you to our amazing Georgia chapter for your support. God bless you all, and here was the moment it was announced that Erica Kirk would be skipping this event. It's how he described it. What an odd event you're playing this clip.

Mr. Vice President, I'm on stage here instead of our friend Erica Kirk, right? Because unfortunately, she has received some very serious threats in her direction. Which is terrible. It's a terrible reflection on the state of reality in the state of the country.

And then Candace Owens, who's been obviously very critical of Erica Kirk, said the following,

"Stop. This is exhausting. You pulled out because of the bad ticket sales. For the same reason, T.P. faith had to reschedule the past or summit and various other events quietly. People don't believe you and don't line up for you because you struggle to tell the truth about even the most basic facts. Whereas the video of Charlie appointing U.S. CEO weeks before his death, the secret service sits above your security team, where they're actually a viable threat.

The vice president would not have continued the event. Your closest threat is the shit public relations team you hired that continues to operate under the delusion that they are smarter than the public. They aren't. And then more from the event when there's more heckling

thereafter of JD events show the other heckling. And how can you say that God has never on the

side of those who will disord? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those innocent people from those who would survive the Holocaust? I certainly think the answer is yes. And I agree. Jesus Christ is not, I agree. Jesus Christ certainly does not support genocide.

“Whoever yelled that out from the dark. He certainly does not. I think that's pretty easy.”

I think that's a pretty easy principle. And then JD events getting very nervous and on the defensive as he's getting booed and he's getting called out and he's like, okay, okay, I know a lot of young people don't like the war crimes were involved in his network. The war that we're involved in in the Middle East, I get it. But this is where you get involved. Take your country back. Y'all are the government. Take take the country back from you. Okay, okay JD will take the

clip. It's issues. Like for example, I recognize that a lot of young voters don't love the policy that we have in the Middle East. Okay, I understand that. I also know that we've secured the border. We've lowered housing prices now for eight months in a row and there's going to be more to come beyond that. We've made America energy dominant, which is lower to electricity costs and things like that. We've made it so that we have the lowest murder rate in 127 years. I'm not saying

“you have to agree with me on every issue. I'm not saying you have to agree with me on every issue.”

What I'm saying is don't get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic,

get more involved. Make your voice heard even more. That's how we ultimately take the country back.

It's not by you. And then JD vans is like, but the issue in the midterms, the people we're running against, they want to kill Donald Trump. They're trying to kill him. What do you tell? That's that's how you're running for the midterms. They're trying to kill him. Like they killed this person and killed that person. Can you just give people health care, JD? Can you just allow people to afford homes, jazzy, JD and afford gas and afford things that actually people need

to in life? How about that, rather than that saying all this? You're playing this clip. For goal is. Well, starting in a few months, we're going to have primaries that are over. We're going to have candidates on the ballot and we're all going to need to get out there and work hard because the people who want to kill Donald Trump, the people who want to throw Donald Trump in prison, the people who murdered our friend, and then the people who celebrated it

afterwards, those people were trying to achieve political power. We cannot let them and we have to unite to make sure that doesn't happen. And then JD Vance is like, you know, one of the things that we're trying to stop. We don't want powerful people being involved in disgusting behavior.

“Y'all are covering up the Epstein files. What are you talking about, play the clip?”

Great. I don't want powerful people being involved in this disgusting behavior. But I have to defend the president on this. And then more from JD Vance right here, where he's like, look,

here's what we've told around. You want to be rich. I want to make a little deal with the

sir. I had told her. You want to do some JV and little. You scratch my back. I scratch you back. I had told her. It's this. This is the dumbest foreign policy imaginable and a dangerous one filled with war crimes here. Play those clip. You said, if you guys commit to not having a nuclear weapon, we are going to make a ran thrive. We're going to make an economically prosperous. And we're going to invite the Iranian people into the world economy in a way. They haven't been

in my entire lives. And that's the kind of Trumpian grand bargain that the president has put on the

“table. Man, we're going to keep on negotiating and try to make it happen because it would be great”

for the world. It'd be great for our country. It'd be great for everybody. Now I want to bring

in Senator Tammy Baldwin from the great state of Wisconsin. Senator Great to see it as always.

I was remarking before you and I started recording that when you and I last chatted, wasn't all that long ago, but it was ice and border patrol, Gestapo invading our country here. And we were talking about that. And since that time, the United States invading Iran, and we see this catastrophic and unlawful war unfolding, the barrage of lies coming out from the Trump regime where it's not clear what is really even happening. And so I just want to get

your kind of take and perspective of where we are right now with this kind of catastrophic and unlawful war. Yeah, well, that contrast is really quite remarkable when we talked in January, we saw a surge of 3000 ice and border patrol and other agents, federal agents wearing masks, roaming the streets of residential neighborhoods and killing US-American civilians who were simply exercising their First Amendment rights to protest this unlawful domestic action in my mind.

And now we see the tragedy of an illegal war of choice that Trump started in Iran, along with Israel, we also see the violence and war in Lebanon that we're not directly involved in, but we've lost 13 US service members. Many hundreds are now injured because of this war. And obviously civilian life has been lost throughout the region, and it was not the type of military action in response to any sort of threat imminent or otherwise Iran wasn't in the process of attacking.

over a month into a war. And it seems as there are these talks about our future negotiations going

to take place with Iran. One of the threshold issues now by all accounts, by lots of different

“reporting is the Trump regime is asking Iran, can you not enrich your Iranian for about 20 years?”

And Iran is saying, you know what? One to five years will hold off. So we've already are now at a point where we had a deal under former President Obama where they wouldn't enrich your Iranian kind of period. Now we're talking about, and maybe five years had, do we meet in the middle now where Iran gets to enrich its uranium? And we're no longer even talking about some of these other issues, which the Trump regime said were the threshold issues. Number one. Right. Talk about regime change, then they talked about ballistic missiles, and now it's like we're going to try to get

the straight of her moves back, which we had before the war. And now we're also talking about, well, maybe they can enrich your

“Iranian in 10 years, which is like, what was the point of all of this? It's like, how are we doing?”

So yes, the premise for why were they are changed? It seemed hourly. Although those words from the President seem like they're in the distant past. But remember, when there were widespread protests against the Iranian regime, from within the country, President Trump said, well, we might have to take military action to support them. Then he talked about the ballistic missile program, then he talked about their nuclear program, then he talked about regime change. Now he's talking about the straight or harm moves.

And I also want to just underscore the important point you made to begin with, which is under President Obama. We had over many weeks and months hashed out an agreement that had the buy-in, not only from the United States and Iran, but Russia, China, the EU, England, and France, all participants in the negotiations. And we had the ability to stop Iran from continuing at that point, a nuclear program, and we had really enforceable provisions there that allowed intrusive international inspections on regular basis

to make sure that they were following what they agreed to in the Iran nuclear deal. And what did Trump do when he took office, he ripped it up. And now we're much in much worse shape than we were when he decided to rip up that deal. So, and then look, there are domestic consequences. The price of fuel gas at the pump is surging because of this war, the price of fertilizer, many of the inputs also travel through the straight of our moves. We see inflation shooting up

because of this war. Americans were already hurting. And this President ran for office a second time saying,

"I will bring down costs on day one and I will end foreign conflicts on day one." And now through this war, he has broken both in a profound fashion.

“No, I think about something that's happened in the past 12 hours that doesn't get nearly enough”

attention or frankly any attention. And I think about how much attention it got under former President Obama, which is North Korea testing all of these missiles and bragging about having nuclear weapons

and that they're never going to give it up. And it just seems that it's kind of a collective shrug now,

both from the Trump regime and our media. Of course, Kim Jong-un has nuclear weapons. So, in the first term, when Donald Trump's like, "I'm going to be so much stronger than Obama." We all recall those days where every missile test by Kim Jong-un was front-page news and viewed as a weakness and failure of Obama and that was pushed. Donald Trump becomes like buddy buddy with Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-un uses that bizarre relationship and love letters to get nuclear weapons.

I think by all accounts, people just recognize. They've got nooks and now they're testing missiles. While the United States removes its fat and patriots from that region and emboldens China and

so we just have to accept it. And it's like, "No, why? Why under Obama is that the front-page

story?" And now when Trump basically gives the guy nuke, that's part of the art of the deal.

It's a bizarre, it's a bizarre contrast to me. Oh, there's many bizarre contrasts when it comes to what countries in the world have secured nuclear weapons through their nuclear programs and whether they are allies or not with the United

“States. And we have been entirely inconsistent. I mean, I think of Pakistan. We don't talk about”

that very often, but sometimes we're friends, sometimes the relationship is quite tense. And yes, there has been no consistency. But Iran has held a special place. I think because of the threats that the regime there has made to countries, and instead of seizing the opportunity that we had when the world community essentially agreed to the joint plan of action, the JPCOA, and shut down Iran's nuclear program, this administration turned away

from that opportunity. I think how much different things could be today had we continued to support

that agreement? And then finally, here's the kind of thing that I think about as we talk about

“will there be more negotiations in Pakistan or elsewhere. Donald Trump's posts are Iran needs”

to be obliterated in the negotiation. And we need to crush them in the negotiation. And while I very clearly and with moral clarity declare this war unlawful and catastrophic for a variety of reasons, I also reflect upon the idea that the language that you're going to be using, of Trump used, that's war language. So if you're going in a war direction, I understand obliterate, I would disagree with it, I'd call it out. But that's the language of where and where obliterate

destroy crush. And again, war crimes, but you know, let's say, but, but I get it. In a negotiation,

I don't get how you reach resolutions by saying, I'm going to crush and destroy the other side and a negotiation. Negotiations are mutual respect, recognizing the other side, sovereignty and right to exist, not saying you're going to kill the other sides. Negotiators, like the Trump regime has leaked through proxies. So even the dynamic is set up, but that's not a negotiation. No one's forcing you to negotiate Trump. You ask for this negotiation. So if you're going to

“sit at the table, then you have to behave like a negotiator or I guess go back to war, which I don't”

want to see, but like you can't be in this murky middle ground, which just systemically shocks both our conscious and our markets. Yes. So well, there's a reason why it's not Trump sitting at the negotiating table. He sends others, not even his secretary of state, his chief diplomat. No, Marco Rubio was sitting with Donald Trump at a big fight in Miami while negotiations were going on in Pakistan through his vice president who, by the way, it's widely reported was one of the

inner circle of advisors who said, "I think it's a bad idea, but if you decide to do it, I'll be with you." Right? So that's who he has at the negotiating table. Look, you know, the president loves to be known for the art of the deal, but I don't think he knows one thing about negotiations, and just as he uses this cataclysmic language, like a civilization will die tonight, which is indicative of war crimes. You know, he also has said it oftentimes minutes apart.

We won. We've already won. Right? You know, that we've achieved all of our goals. You know, the victory is already there. And so his consistency from moment to moment is completely lacking, but we do have to figure out a path out of this war. And I have one that I'm working with my colleagues on, which is having Congress stand up and do its job. Look, it's up to Congress in the Constitution to declare war or to authorize the use of military force

if the United States is not under imminent threat or under direct attack. So this is an illegal war,

doing this on, and you know, on a consistent basis. Because one by one, we need to get our

“Republican colleagues to decide to do the job of Congress. Congress has power here. My Republican”

colleagues have yet to realize their power to check the overreaches of this president. But we need to continue to force these votes. And invite our Republican colleagues to listen to their constituents.

“To even listen to the Maga folks like Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson, who are saying this war”

is crazy. And Congress needs to do its job to stop this war.

As always, Senator Baldwin, we appreciate you for joining us. And let's just bring some more

“normalcy back to me this is never. I'm in about politics. I just want the craziness gone.”

I want normalcy. I want people to be able to spend time thinking about their family. Not worrying about having health care ripped away and just get back to normal. We appreciate you just fighting

for people. Thank you so much. Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
