IHIP News: JD Vance BOOED at OLYMPICS, Sending Him Into a STAGE 5 MELTDOWN!

What this episode is about

The recent Olympics in Milan saw JD Vance facing public backlash as he was booed during the opening ceremony, highlighting the growing discontent with MAGA Republicans amidst American athletes exercising their First Amendment rights. This incident underscored concerns over media censorship and the perception of a rising authoritarianism, with critics arguing that the narrative surrounding political figures is being softened to align with a Republican agenda.

Key takeaways

• JD Vance's global debut: the Olympic stage, where even the booing is uncensored—welcome to the world stage of unpopularity!
• NBC's censorship vs global backlash: Is editing the sound of booing a metaphor for the current state of American media?
• Feminism alert: Women must own their villainy too; Usha Vance's bad decisions aren’t JD's fault, but they are still telling.
• Censorship backfire: Barry Weiss's CBS tanking 25% in viewership shows that propaganda doesn’t play well with consumers.
• Xenophobia hypocrisy: A white supremacist complaining about 'Islamization' while posing with his Indian in-laws—talk about a self-own!

0:00 The Olympics are taking place in Milan. Everybody's having a great time except for MAGA Republicans who are at stage five melting down because American athletes are expressing their First Amendment right and saying they don't like this racist Nazi Gestapo white supremacist fascist regime. And of course, everybody's just freaking out over that. But more than anything, JD Vance decided to trot his eyelinerwearing, namechanging, smoky eye sociopath ass to Milan. And he's getting it because people hate him. They absolutely hate him. Here is a video of the opening ceremony with JD Vance getting booed. Play the clip.

0:43 In an individual sport, what an honor for her. There's the vice president, JD Vance, and his wife. Those are not those are a lot of booze for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.

0:58 Okay. So, I just want to point out that NBC edited the version that Americans saw and what Americans heard with this booing of JD Vance and abroad the booze were there with zero censorship. And so what's happening to the American media right now is going parallel with all of this fascist rise because the media are fascist collaborators. And it's really important that we all understand that any sort of censoring and um softening the blow of how unpopular these people are. JD Vance, the couch [ __ ] Um people hate these people. People hate the American government worldwide. And MAGA wants to install a North Korea style propaganda forced thought regime because these people are so emotionally stunted. And it's just beautiful.

1:57 Absolutely beautiful. This American loves watching that racist, hypocritical, vile vice president get read for filth on the international stage. It's such a huge disappointment because the media has been such an ally to Trump. You know, when they break stories, instead of saying demented, crazy old [ __ ] is rambling on about windmills, they'll say Trump's addressing clean energy or whatever. But you have a situation with CBS. They are staterun propaganda. Barry Wise was installed in there to be MAGA first. It was purchased by Larry Ellison and his family so they could run it in support of Trump. All the social media is owned by Trump collaborators. ABC they bent the knee with George Stephanopoulos right when Trump went into office. I'm sorry that was ABC. So you see what we have always watched in news bow down to Trump. And the news and the press are supposed to be the guard rails for democracy. Jeff Bezos gutted the

3:08 Washington Post. This regime is going into reporters home and taking confidential information. They don't want a free press because then Americans that hardly pay attention will know how deeply unpopular they are. Just a huge disappointment by NBC. And not to mention they arrested journalist Don Lemon and which is just a a major major uh red flag in the censorship of this regime and their desire to annihilate free press. But I also want to point out that there is a bit of a backfire. Uh Barry Weiss and CBS viewership is down 25% in such a short period of time with this editorial change. And then you know a lot of people I wanna I want to talk about us for a second and I want to talk about misogyny because a lot of people are always like never allow women to be sociopaths. People never allow women to be pieces of [ __ ] They have to attribute their shittiness to their husband. And I'm such a feminist that I

4:13 hold Usha Vance completely accountable for being a fascist collaborator, for being uh herself thinking she is the magic Indian, she's the magic immigrant, her parents are the magic immigrants, her children are the magic uh mixed race kids that aren't going to fall prey to this regime. And somebody finally put it into the perfect words for me. Pop this up. Uh, Turnball says, "Every once in a while I feel sorry for Usheance degree in history from Yale, followed by a master's in philosophy, blah blah." Uh, Kyle McCord Muse responds, "Misogyny is crazy because people genuinely believe women aren't able to willingly make bad decisions and be bad people. It always has to be a man's fault, like we own them or something." And I just want to thank this poster for saying that because I've thought this the whole time. People are always like, "What's wrong with Katie Miller? Stephen Miller must have ruined her, etc., etc." It's

5:14 like, "No, we've evolved enough as women that these women are responsible for their own actions. They're responsible for being fascist collaborators. They're responsible for being sociopaths and psychopaths." And Usha Vance in a huge betrayal to all immigrants, she's a first generation American. Her parents came here from India to sit and be married to that man. She is a racist collaborator and a fascist collaborator and she has the education to prove that she knows exactly what she's doing. Which brings me to Brandon Gil. This is a representative and a typical MAGA racist just like JD Vance. Let's hear what he has to say in this xenophobic rant on NewsNation. Play the clip.

6:04 From constituents all the time who are deeply and desperately concerned about the Islamization of the Dallas area. They're hearing about mosques that are popping up near land that they've they or their family have owned for generations. They're hearing about these epic city compounds that are popping up where you have entire communities who are being transformed. When you hear about constituents talking about going to their local malls and you look around and it feels like you're in Pakistan, not Dallas, Texas. That's a problem.

6:32 Okay, my apologies. This was Real America's Voice, the War Room, not News Nation, but you know, same def. All right, so so this guy, you'd think, okay, man, this guy's a white supremacist. He's a Heritage Foundation American. He's of European stock. You know, this guy's as white as white can get. So I Googled him. much to my surprise. Pop this up. Here he is with his wife and in-laws of India.

7:00 Wow. Now, the uh photograph is real. The costumes have been photoshopped on them. But here's the guy who specifically called out Pakistan when his wife and in-laws are from India. And then some sloos on the internet dug a little deeper. My guy Medie Hassan popped this up. Here is representative Brandon Gil surrounded by 11 Pakistanis in South Lake, Texas collecting money for his campaign. And Medi says, "I'm not sure who comes out worst in this from this pick, the hypocritical gill or these Pakistani Americans who idiotically helped fund raise for this Islamophobic fascist." And here's something I think people need to understand.

7:49 So he's sitting there trying to draw the difference between Pakistan when he's married to an Indian person. And I know that people from India are Hindu. Large swaths of people all over the United States of America do not differentiate between a Pakistani and an Indian person. To them, they're both brown and they're both foreign. Just simply the word foreign. So this guy is no different than JD Vance. He gets on TV and spouts xenophobic racism. All the while he is experiencing and benefiting the best thing this country has to offer, multi-ulturalism.

8:36 He's benefiting from it and shouting it down. and somehow he thinks his wife and kids and in-laws are going to be safe in this white supremacist regime. You just you look at this and think they don't give a [ __ ] They don't give a [ __ ] about their own kids. They don't give a [ __ ] about their family. How would you believe they give a [ __ ] about their constituents? They don't have a soul. None of them do. They don't care. It's taking money from the very people that you are denigrating is unbelievable to me. It's believable. That's a lie. It just it never ceases to amaze me that these people do this in flocks and droves.

9:16 Completely agree. All right. And then I've been keeping an eye about you guys, but I've really had a hard time with people ask me all the time, who's your front runner for 2028? And I just don't have a distinct person. I haven't seen a person that I'm like, yes, this is who we need. I think Gavin Newsome is making a lot of face plans. This is me personally. I think Gavin Newsome is making a lot of missteps and face plants. I love his White House press account. Um, I don't love a lot of his positioning and the sucking up to Ben Shapiro, refusing to appear on leftist uh podcasts, but will go seek refuge in the right-wing MAGA world. A lot of the other Democrats who are running are too bought and paid for by corporations. Um, but uh, OAF, Senator Oaf in Georgia gave a great speech. Now, granted, it's a long way away, but I hope that we can groom in the new media, a candidate that can fulfill uh, all of the needs that we

10:20 want, non-corporate, young, uh, a record that doesn't have to be, you know, defended over and over and over again. And this speech I thought was really impressive. Play the first clip. seeing what I'm seeing, right?

10:36 The president posting about the Obamas like a clansman at 1:00 a.m. You see our government transformed into a tool of one man's personal vengeance and power and enrichment. You see the president and his family rake in billions

11:03 while Americans struggle to make ends meet. You see prices going up while jobs are getting harder to find.

11:12 You see millions lose insurance and local hospitals shut services while the rich get tax cuts. No,

11:21 you see masked federal agents kicking down doors without so much as a warrant from a judge, dragging Americans out of their homes without cause, demanding papers at police checkpoints, assaulting and even killing Americans with impunity from the very top. Okay. So, I think he's got a lot of potential and I love that right out of the gates he comes out and calls Trump a clansman. It's just exactly what how he needs to be called. You hear him talking about affordability. if this guy can address the blank check that the United States of America has given Israel for decades um and the uh contribution to not only a genocide and taxpayers in rural America having to pay for kids to get killed and hospitals to get bombed and the moral depravity of that.

12:22 and if he can speak to uh the economic populist message without throwing one group under the bus, we need new blood. We need a young progressive candidate that brings economic populism and equality and inclusivity to the um election cycle. Now listen, I'm not 100% confident that this regime isn't going to take ICE, which I think Schumer and Hakeim Jeff are more than happy to continue funding, even though they tap dance around it and throw fbomb social media posts. Um, I'm not 100% certain that he's not going to go full tilt and cheat on these elections. I don't have a lot of uh faith that any institution is protecting us right now. I don't have any faith in that. I haven't seen really any evidence that the Democratic establishment is putting up the resistance that we need.

13:22 But assuming we get to 2028, I'm really liking somebody new, somebody whose name is not in the running right now, kind of like Obama was in '08. You know, there there's a deep bench in the Democratic party, but I I mean, Josh Shapiro can't be the guy for sure. Um, but what I think is just so stunning is he talks about affordability, and that's all Trump talked about during the campaign. And you talk about prices are up, job inflation's higher, jobs are harder to get, and then all of the [ __ ] that you're hearing about these tariffs, oh, you're going to get a $2,000 check, we're going to pay your health insurance. It's just all a bunch of lies. And so the candidate needs to call this out and have a plan to make pe like Zoron. He had a plan. This is what we're going to do. This is how we're going to pay for it. And we have a lot of time and hopefully the Democratic, you know, base establishment won't do

14:22 the run to the center and we'll have a lot of major ideas on helping everyday Americans. I completely agree. All right, that's all we have. Let us know who your top 2028 pick is, assuming we get there, in the comment section below. Like, subscribe. We'll be back later with more news.
