Trump’s SECRET “death note” gets EXPOSED

I'm joined now by the co-host of PodSave. America, Tommy Vietor. Tommy, have you. heard about this secret death letter. that Trump left for J.D. Vance? >> You don't have a secret death letter? I. have one in my house from my wife. >> Well, this is This is nuts. I'm going to. throw to a clip right here. >> As someone said to me, they could just. put something in the air that makes him. sick 30 days later. >> up to me at a at a at an event recently. on Air Force One and said the same. thing. I said, "Absolutely not. I have. no fear at all of them doing something. The idea that you do something that. undermines your recognition goes against.

what they wish to have. Secondarily, remember what the president said about. another country tried to do that. Uh he. said, you know, that there is a a a. letter in the drawer in the Resolute. Desk uh that is addressed to uh the vice. president should something happen to. him. So, um. that that is the language of power. >> You know, China could do something so. sneaky as they did with COVID that you. wouldn't be able to really tell if the. president just got Lyme disease and fell. ill in America.

>> We we have protocols. Trust me. Not ones. I can discuss, but we have protocols. >> So, J.D. Vance is there to serve as the. white knight should something so. something happen to Trump. How much. confidence you have that uh how much. confidence you have that J.D. Vance. would be able to carry out Trump's dying. wishes? >> Here's what I have confidence in, uh. that J.D. Vance has broken into the Oval. Office, steamed open that envelope, read the letter, copied the handwriting, replaced it with his own version, and. then put it back in there. Um we I also.

I don't I don't think the Constitution. says that upon your death you can govern. from the grave. >> From the grave, yeah. Yeah. Although, I. mean, look, the the the reality is that. that Trump still views himself as. kingmaker and guaranteed that even if. even after he's out of office, if he's. out of office, he will absolutely want. to be like the guy when it comes to. dictating from beyond the Oval Office. >> Also, it just it tells you everything. you need to know about Donald Trump that. his secret death letter is not to his. family. >> just going to say that.

It's to J.D. Vance. >> It's to a guy he kind of hates. >> Donald Trump he every it's almost like. it's almost sweet when you hear about. it. In the beginning it's like, "If. something should happen to the. president, he has this secret letter.". It's like, "Oh, Melania is going to be. so relieved." It's like, "To J.D. Vance. dictating exactly how he should govern. in the event of his demise.". >> Like it literally just says, "Punch. yourself in the face. Do it again.". >> "Lose weight. Punch yourself again.". >> "I can't lose weight. Stay in the White. House.". >> Um how funny would be if Trump drafted a. second secret death letter and to Marco.

Rubio and then just started being like, "Guys, >> I mean I mean basically I mean that that. storyline has come kind of come into the. zeitgeist now where you know he's going. to just pit these people against each. other. Um and ultimately it's going to. it's going to redound to his benefit. It's like, "Who Who wants my endorsement. more and and how can you prove it?". >> Yeah. Like look, he he knows that these. guys are his I mean they both. are. They work for him literally but. also Trump knows that in a Republican. primary he can say to MAGA, "Go this way. or go that way." And those two know it.

too. So he's just going to hold that. over them forever. And the reason he's. doing it is because he secretly hates. them. I'm pretty convinced of it. >> Well, it's true. Like if he had any if. he had any respect for them, he wouldn't. be able to dictate what they could or. couldn't do because he would just have. enough respect that they would do it on. their own. But he doesn't and so he's. going to play them as as puppets. basically. Treat them as puppets. and not give his endorsement until the. absolute last minute if he does at all. because he wants to to have leverage. over these people for as long as he. possibly can. >> Yeah. Yeah, actually I got a copy of the.

letter and what it says is, "If I die. J.D. and you become president, while. you're in this house, you sit when you. pee.". >> He's like He's like, "Well, no changes. there.". >> I think I just stole a joke from like a. Chappelle Show episode in like 2004. >> Well, you know, both people both people. who know that joke will be able to call. you out for it. Um. >> Anyway, what else were we talking about? >> How How does this make you think about. the um the you know. fight to become basically the MAGA heir. between these people because obviously,

you know, you do have Marco Rubio, you. do have J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance is being. sent out to to I think May He was in. Maine today talking about the. administration's. >> Banger. >> fight against uh. fight against fraud, which is the. ultimate piece of irony because, you. know, the first thing Trump did is is pardon a. bunch of people who have committed a. fraud as soon as they paid his campaign. >> Right. >> Um so but but at the same time like. these people don't really garner the. same attention and they have the stink. of this administration's engagement in. like foreign wars on them. Uh this.

administration the the stink of this. administration's high prices on them, high gas costs. Like How does that Like. if if Trump had any allegiance to these. people, isn't he isn't he just undermining it by. basically um having them be a part of an. administration that is just plummeting. in terms of their favorability? >> Yeah, I I think it it sort of shows how. tough of a position those guys are in. politically. If you're a part of this. administration and want to come next. because Trump's approval rating among. all voters is just going down and down.

and down and down. >> there's polling that it's somewhere. between, you know, 35%. >> and his disapproval on questions like, I. don't know, the economy is like 70%. disapproval. >> the last the last poll I saw showed. Democrats leading on crime. It was like. D plus three on crime. >> Yeah, Harry Enten from CNN said that. Trump is now uh the owner of the five. worst polling results in like. presidential history or something. So, congrats on that. However, his his standing with the base is still.

rock solid. With like the the people who. define themselves as MAGA and the people. who define themselves as MAGA are who. you need to win any presidential primary. process or nomination process. >> the primary. I mean like you you. >> screws you in the general. Yeah. >> Totally. I mean in this instance like. having having the primary voters support. you. and support somebody extreme enough that. that they are too extreme for. independents is just a recipe for. disaster because if you're going to be I. mean this is this is the the usual. problem with with primaries anyway like. they're going to turn out somebody who's. the most advantageous for the base but.

if there's no buying from independent. voters then then you have no chance in. general election. >> Yeah, it's it's a really challenging. place for JD Vance and Marco Rubio to be. especially. given how badly the war in Iran is going. and I'm like you know you might have. noticed that things are not going well. with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is. closed like two months later. no sign of it being opened. However, like JD Vance's political identity was. predicated on his experience in Iraq and. how it told him that foreign wars are. bad and regime change wars are bad so. thus he opposed them but he was not able. to prevent this one from happening. So.

he's trying to leak all over the place. that he was opposed to it secretly. >> to the New York Times. JD Vance is the. lone skeptic in the room. >> like buddy, I'm sorry you own this just. as much as anyone else. And Marco Rubio. like he was riding high after the. Venezuela thing. He went to Capitol Hill. to brief members of Congress about the. Iran war early on. Did this one press. conference where he was like the Jews. made us do it and then he ran away and. hid for a month. Then he did one other. press conference where he was in like a. good mood and reporters decided he was. great and happy and like the good.

competent cabinet member but again like. I just. he can wear this the jacket for this as. much as anybody else. >> But do you think that there's a world in. which you know recognizing how quick the. media cycle moves the new cycle moves. that that Marco Rubio and or JD Vance. can be able to run away with this thing. and not kind of wear it as an albatross. around their neck just because enough. time will have passed and nobody has the. attention span to focus on this? >> It's possible. I do think like I think. there are big swaths of MAGA that just.

feel betrayed and will be a vocal angry. minority and like that opens a space for. someone like a Tucker Carlson who was. like hey, I opposed this war. You know. what else But. Covering up the Epstein files, something. you guys really cared about. And like. you can get a lot of earned media off of. that. >> 100%. I mean, you know, look, I don't. want this to be like, you know, a. prediction show about what the 2028. Republican primary will look like, but. but but the but the biggest beneficiary. of all of this is not Marco Rubio, it's. not J.D. Vance, it is Tucker Carlson, which I I know, like, you know, worries.

people that are that are watching, listening, um because he is as bad if not worse. than all these MAGA acolytes or even. Trump himself, but he's also smart. enough to recognize not where the puck. is, but where the puck is going, and so. he can see that like he can basically. extricate himself from the unpopular. aspects of what the administration is. doing, whereas J.D. Vance and Marco. Rubio can't. They can't come out and say. you know, what the administration is. doing by engaging in a cover-up over the. Epstein files is disgusting. They can't say, "Hey, engaging in this.

2-month war that we promised we would. never engage in is a miserable choice. that's that's not only undermining one. of our core campaign promises. >> of no new foreign wars, but also sending. the price of gas surging for every. single American at home, and spending. billions of dollars on foreign wars when. that money should be going to America. first priorities." None of those people. can say anything, but these people. outside of the administration, like. Tucker Carlson, have the ability to do. exactly that. >> Yeah, Tucker what knows when to throw a. Hail Mary with a puck or when to just do. like three pucks in a cloud of pucks.

Or. >> Tune in Tune in next week as me and. Tommy launch our sports show. >> Yeah, no, I I like Tucker is genuinely. well-positioned. He's built a huge media. empire that he owns. Like he doesn't. have to go through Fox News's filter. anymore to reach people. Um I don't. look, I I've I go back and forth. I. would be very worried if you would if he. ran if I were like J.D. Vance. Also, they're buddies. Um. I would like Tucker seems genuinely. paranoid and like worried about his own.

safety, and campaigning involves leaving. your compound in Maine and like hitting. the trail and talking to a lot of. people. >> Potentially, yeah. >> just be kind of feeding into the general. paranoia that that sells on the right. I. mean, there's a reason that for like the. last 20 years, if you if you have a. right-wing show, you can you can sell. these like survival packs and like you. know? >> I think he started his own like dip. brand, too. >> Yeah. Well, you'll need that. >> I think it's called dip. Honestly, you. might.

>> You take the edge off in the apocalypse, too. >> You know, the the sad thing is it's not. just Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance who are. kind of. left looking like fools. right now in this media cycle. There's. also Kash Patel. >> No, no, no. He's doing great. What are. you talking about? >> can you can you give us an idea of Kash. Patel's latest scandal here? What he was. just found doing. on vacation? >> Okay, the latest thing that the fake. news media is bitching about with my guy.

Kash, who's honestly sick and he. gave me this awesome bourbon bottle with. his name on it. >> He's dope. >> Loves to pound booze. He knows where the. puck is going cuz he plays hockey. yeah, he does. >> He won the Olympics. Anyway, >> That's my that's my gold medal-winning. FBI director. >> Apparently Kash Patel. So, he took an. official trip to Australia and New. Zealand. On the way there, he stopped in. Hawaii, like met with the FBI field. office there, whatever. Makes sense, like a refueling stop. On the way back, he stopped again, apparently for 2 days.

I think that's when he went on a VIP. snorkeling trip. On the government dime. Uh were you wondering were you wondering. where this snorkeling trip occurred? >> It was. >> It was in Pearl Harbor, around the USS Arizona, which is a ship. bombed. by the Japanese where 900 sailors and. Marines, their bodies are entombed in. this ship. >> Was that before or after he went on the. bar crawl in Auschwitz? >> Mhm.

Doesn't snorkeling over the watery grave. of 900 sailors and Marines sound like. the sound like the start of a horror. movie? >> It's also like so ridiculous to think of. the FBI director, like while these. service members and law enforcement. officials are like at the military base. in Pearl Harbor, that like they look. over at the water and there's like the. FBI director just, you know, with his. like paddling his feet in his. bathing suit there with a snorkel on his. face. >> to think if there's a. It It might be the case that you never.

look dorkier than when you're out of. water and snorkeling in Pearl Harbor. >> would be like the the modern-day. equivalent of Who is the person that. that wore the the that wore the diaper? >> Patel in the tank? >> Yes. Yes. Yes. >> Yeah, just Kash Patel like. waddling around in his snorkel. >> How do we have no photos of that? >> to be pictures. >> There has to be. >> Someone nailed this. If there's like. pictures from every 6 months of Mike. Vrabel and Diana Rossini at various. bars, there's got to be one photo of. Kash Patel. The problem though is like. it the the site is a memorial. It's. totally off-limits. Like you cannot go.

there and just snorkel and paddle. around. So, he must have like. specifically requested to go snorkeling. at the cemetery, the grave site for 900. sailors and Marines from like 1941. >> Well, I hope the I hope the views were. fun. I'm sure he saw some, you know, beautiful sights and like. wacky wacky. you know, things down there. Eyes. pointing in the opposite directions and. the and the fish, too. >> He was He was really geeked about the. the ground zero scavenger hunt he's. doing later today.

He sucks. How is Trump not fired this. loser yet? He's like humiliating. him left and right. I mean, the only. answer, right, is that Kash Patel is. like, "I'm going to kill your family.". >> I know what's in the Epstein files. >> that, too. But, he's like anyone, you. know, any like seashell-based crimes. that Kash Patel is on the case and going. to prosecute it. >> Yeah. Well, uh that's a show. >> Yeah. >> So, uh look, to keep learning what other. shows are happening. If you're not.
