J.D. Vance and the MAGA Backlash2:54 – 4:56

2:54

So, Anthony, the MAGA Coalition...

3:22

seems to be hemorrhaging at the moment.

3:25

J.D. Vance putting out that 600-word posting saying it was all about the war.

3:30

Didn't mention anything to do with tariffs or corruption or ICE, which actually, if you look at the exit polling data, are things that voters were concerned about.

3:41

He is saying this is all about the war, making it very clear that he is distancing himself from this war.

3:48

But the president today I saw was reposting on Truth Social on for a quote from Newsmax saying that Trump is a winner and he's right on Iran.

3:58

So there is President Trump.

3:59

Here we are Friday lunchtime in the US saying Trump is right on Iran.

4:05

And there is J.D. Vance saying Maybe the war is not such a good idea, folks, after all, and that is why we lost the midterms.

4:12

That's going to make for an awkward Oval Office meeting between the president and the vice president, right? How far and how fast can J.D.

4:20

Vance run from this situation?

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:22

What's your favorite candy?

4:24

What's my favorite? Chocolate.

4:25

Every time.

4:26

Every time.

4:27

Any time

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:27

a chocolate, right? Pretty much

4:29

any time.

4:29

Cheap, expensive,

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:30

chocolate.

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:31

So mine is Reese's peanut butter cups.

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:33

Oh, I love those.

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:34

Chocolate and peanut butter.

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:35

Ideal.

Anthony ScaramucciHost

4:36

I just want you to imagine that God or the universe said you can eat unlimited amounts of Reese's.
