25th Amendment time, baby. That's what some Republicans are calling for, asking, no, begging J.D. Vance to pull the trigger, to get us out of this mess, out of the straight of Hamuz, and back into the Capitol. Because they're realizing that the only way out isn't through Donald Trump. It's through anyone else who's willing to stand up to this president.

You know who's standing up to this president? Voters. voters are pissed off. Voters, I think, would be kind of happy if J.D. Vance became president because they understand what's going on. People are not stupid. People are not stupid.

And even if people aren't perhaps totally knowledgeable about what's going on, they understand when things cost more. And unfortunately, in our culture, people don't really care about anything until it personally starts to affect them. And this is affecting them. Here are just some voters understanding the real cause of all of this.

He wants to make Venezuela the 51st state. Do you want to see Venezuela as the 51st state of the United States of America? No. Each country should be its own country. I don't want to see Canada, the 51st country, a state of the United States either. He's also said that. And I'm not going to agree with those stands. I feel like why not go door to door and help them,

get through the process of becoming an American citizen instead of just throwing them back. And then you're getting, you're grabbing wrong people, grabbing innocent people, you're killing innocent people. It's not righteous. It's obviously not right. But regardless of who's in office, if they make promises, they better keep them and, you know, follow through on them. Because a lot of people forget that the government, their power comes from us as a people. And when we have been, you know, in friendship upon, we've been lied to, hold face. We get upset. He said he'd have gas under three and now it's right at five. And I mean, honestly, it's something that he stole from somewhere.

And now we're at what, $5 a gallon? He's saying about for our safety, our safety, leave somebody alone. They won't bother you. Yeah, that's just a small sliver of, I'm sure most Americans are feeling today that the president isn't working for them. The person that they put in charge is really only there to help himself and help his friends and to create chaos. And Americans are sick of it.

I just want to zoom in real fast and what that one man said about how the power comes from us. It doesn't come from, well, it comes from the Constitution. The Constitution gives it to us, and we give it to our elected officials for a small amount of time. Now, here's something I want you to clue in on, because John Alsoff, who is running for re-election this year in the swing state of Georgia, very important state that we have to hold if we have any chance of flipping the Senate. he said this. We still have power. The pressure that we put on this administration,

do you remember when they, you can't make this stuff up, they froze all the money for after school programs. You remember that? They backed off under pressure. They froze the funding for HBCU scholarships. You remember that? They backed off under pressure.

And every week that goes by and they become more and more unpleasure. popular, our ability to advocate for the public and to apply pressure grows. I talked about the risk of despair when I first got here. Here's another way of thinking about it. Don't indulge the illusion of powerlessness. Do you hear what I'm saying? They want you to feel powerless. They want you to believe all is lost. They want you to think. that as citizens, raising your voices, doesn't make a difference because they'll just do whatever they want. And it's not true. And they want you to think that organizing unprecedented,

massive turnout in this election won't work. Why did they send the nation's spy chief, Tulsi Gabbard, to lurk in an FBI evidence truck in Fulton County, Georgia? But let me tell you, it's going to backfire. And backfire it is. I mean, can we just say, that was great. I need more of that. I need more of that. I thought it was at church.

Did you feel like you were at church? I felt like it was at church, the good kind. And it's so true. It's so true. We have so much power. And I would like to carry forth that message to J.D. Vance in the rest of Donald Trump's cabinet. You have the power to stop all of this immediately.

In fact, I'm not the only one that says that. Scott McConnell, who, by the way, not a liberal. Scott McConnell, I didn't know who this man was until five seconds ago. Apparently, he's a big deal. The co-founder of the American Conservative, he's also an author of ex-Neocon. Not a Rachel Maddow watcher, I'm assuming. Here's what he had to say. My advice to Vance announced your support of the 25th Amendment transition.

Say Chris Murphy or similar will be Veep. Announce you will not be a candidate in 2028. Use your position, access to the media to explain why this is necessary. Don't resign. Interesting, right? Now, what I find interesting about this is that we know that J.D. Vance, I mean, if we can believe that J.D. Vance believes anything, but J.D. Vance has said a lot of things, but on this one thing, he's been very consistent.

He is against Forever Wars. He's against interventionalism. He thinks that we should spend more time focusing on making our country better rather than fighting wars that we may never win. Okay, that's J.D. Vance. That's why it's really interesting. Ever since we launched an attack has gone dark, Medea Sahn says,

J.D. Vance, who has repeatedly attacked me and other journalists on this website, as he has so much time in his hands, has gone almost completely dark on here because he doesn't want to get asked about Iran and how Trump has totally undermined him and made him look like a hypocrite on Iran. Tim Miller also pointing this out. J.D. Vance has not sent an original tweet from the J.D. Vance or vice president account since the war began. And so I think there's some validity here from Scott McConnell. And I do think this,

that whoever is going to be the nominee in 2028 is going to be someone who was against this war. That's for sure. So if J.D. Vance was smart, he would distance himself in the best way he could, which is to say that I don't agree with this at all. And by the way, I'm going to threaten the president with the one thing I can do, which is remove his power. Because why? Because we still have the power. I hope J.D. Vance can remember that. So what else who else has powers?

J.D. Vance's advisor, apparently stepped down after all this. Here's a bit of info on this. Vice President J.D. Vance's special advisor on the Middle East has resigned from his role and taken a position with Continental Strategy a lobbying firm that is focused on a number of government agencies. Bloomberg first reported this. The exit was sudden and happened on Monday. His departure comes as Operation Epic Fury enters its fourth week and as questions loom about how enthusiastic Vance has been about the operation with political reporting earlier this month that the vice president was skeptical about military strikes. Vance, who has long

questioned U.S. intervention abroad, has publicly defended Trump's Iran operation. But White House officials revealed that the vice president made his opposition known in the lead-up pulling the curtain open, after months of speculation about Vance being far more tepid about military action than Trump. So there's certainly a wedge here. J.D. Vance, I don't think has the guts to do this. But if he did, I think he would go down it as a hero, quite frankly. But J.D. Vance is a piece of slime. And the only thing slime is good for is washing away.

I'll see you soon.
