JD Vance Warns of ANTI-CHRIST During Bizarre “End Times” Interview

Hey, John. Hi, Democrats are up seven in the generic ballot against Republicans. Mm-hmm. Many are worried that they're on their way to a bruising defeat in the midterms, but help is on the way. Trump has a $400 million war chest. He sure does. And he has promised to deploy to help Republicans. We have an ad by a Trump super PAC that is coming to make the case for these Republicans who are on the ballot. He is the toughest, most resilient person that I've ever met and nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves. When the world needs courage, vision, and inspiration, it is still turning to America. There is no challenge Americans can not overcome. No frontier too vast for us to conquer. And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. I have a lot of thoughts on that. For all the discussion in some of these stories about we need ads to tout his accomplishments. There was no accomplishment touting in that ad at all. No. There was no, it was just, it was just glazing Donald Trump. It seems like it's an ad that someone walked her to the Oval Office and showed him because he asked for an ad about how good things are, how good he is. Doesn't even talk about how good things are. Yeah, I guess it doesn't. It doesn't even, it doesn't even say, it actually doesn't even say nice things about it. It was like Joe Rogan is saying, sorry, Dana White is saying he has courage. It was a plane flying over the canyon. It's sort of moody positive. Moody positive. Nothing else. No, like AI could have made it better at. And it may have been involved heavily. But so I don't, so he just, he really does seem to want to lose them in terms. He just doesn't seem to have any interest in doing anything that, I don't think he wants, like I don't think he wants to lose. I think he might be resigned that these Republicans who don't do everything he says, even though they kind of do, are going to cost him the midterms. And he is already thinking of ways to separate himself from the Republican. They refuse to do the save act. Yeah. So the election, so they sort of sealed their own fate. They're not doing enough to talk about all their Trump accomplishments. Yep. What else have they not done that he's pissed about? I don't even, when he talks about, oh, the Republicans are bad, blah, blah, blah. Like he doesn't even have any real fights that he's picking outside of the save act. Yeah, he sort of, yeah, that's it. Right now it is just the save act, which there, there are some, he's mad about some appointments right there because they're, they're holding pro forma Senate, Senate sessions, which prevent him from doing recess appointments. I think they're just a receptacle for his own bad approval ratings. Like it's just his way to explain why he's not more popular. Yes. Now, while Republicans head for what seems like N times in Congress, JD Vance sat down with Christian podcast host Bryce Crawford to talk about faith AI and revelation of a different sort. Do I think that we're in the N times? I don't know. And I think that it's probably bad for me spiritually to focus too much on it. I think that there are like things about the world that make me feel like not shocked. If the Antichrist was, was walking among us. But again, I try not to focus too much on it. What I'm trying to focus on is doing as much of God's work as possible right now. And if that leads to the N times, okay? No, not okay. Not okay. I don't think he has a firm grasp of revelations. The N times the Antichrist. I also, it's, it's shocking to me that he's focused on doing God's work. I didn't realize God's work was putting ankle monitors and chains on Haitians who were in this country legally and sending them back to a violent war zone. There's a, a really sad story this week about a young guy who came to this country legally, did everything the right way and seems to have been so distraught at the possibility of being sent back to Haiti that he walked into traffic and is dead. Meanwhile, they are bragging about what they're doing to these people. They're putting out like their version of immigration snuff films about how, about how they're sending all these people back to Haiti and disrupting their lives, disrupting the communities in which they contribute all to serve this massive quota. They're trying to hit even after saying that they were going to go after the worst of the worst. These are people who followed every rule. Also, he would say, well, I have to focus on Americans first because he thinks he believes in some interpretation of the Bible where you're supposed to care about your family first and then your neighborhood and then your country and then later other people if there's time which the, you know, the Pope quickly rejected. But even if you want to talk about Americans, like, is doing God's work the Medicaid cuts that are about to go into effect or the tariffs or the inflation or anything that has like pushed a whole bunch of very needy people, low-income people, many of them who voted for him and Donald Trump into poverty? I don't know. It doesn't seem like God's work, but who knows? Yeah, this idea of, you know, I don't want to think too much about whether we're heading towards the end times. There's this, when I see so many people like you turn to like horoscopes and astrology and there's a lot of like kind of kind of, I don't know, loose spiritualism floating about and it tends to be disconnected from kind of morals, right? Like astrology is this kind of vague religion now for a lot of people that's about trying to make sense of the world in these sort of understandable rules and narratives, but like he is just, he is talking about like the great battle between good and evil, right? That in the story of the Bible that culminates in revelation, fine. The, like, the egotism around like a, look, I don't try not to think about my role, you know, right? It's like you're, you're, the, the whole point of being-- What was the question he was asked or you know, there was a question about, this was about like the, the, whether the Antichrist is here and what the end times would be, I believe, but, and Peter Tiel has talked about this. Of course. But like, hey, situating yourself in a great battle between good and evil, I can think it could be a very valuable thing to do, but if you're actually like thinking like, oh, you know, being vice president, boy, I'm a lot very powerful, could potentially be bringing about the end times, but not thinking about it. It's like, I don't know, it seems very stupid to me. Yeah. Again, I just don't think he has a, is a, is a newly converted Catholic. I don't feel like he has us from a grasp on, did you hear him talk about blood libel? Oh, yes. He, which I think he thinks he's, I think he is like taking the phrase literally by meaning like, like blood and soil kind of thing, like bloodline, and then like, you are liable. Yeah, the blood, it seemed like that's what he was saying in that, in that, yeah, had to do with that, that like, yes, he just doesn't understand what it is. Because of your bloodline, because you're Jewish, you're somehow li, I think liable as well. Oh, that's what he means. It's blood liable. He was just like, somehow it's, you are responsible for something bad, just because of your bloodline. And it's like, that's not blood libel. No, the blood libel is that we kill Jesus. So that's it. We kill Jesus. No, that's not easy. No, the blood libel is that Jews supposedly put, put blood on a, on, this is an Old Testament story on a house so that when like the angel of death came by, they would skip over the houses with the blood on it, but kill the first born. Yeah, that's Passover. Right. But that, yeah, but that's not Jesus. That's, that's pre-Jesus. You know, I know that, but that's not the, that's not the, that's not the blood libel. No, the, we, we brag about that. That's in our, we tell, we tell that story every Passover. That's part of our thing. We put the, we put the lambs blood on our door so that the angel of, so that God would pass by our door and kill the first born of the Egyptians. The blood libel to me. Oh, blood, blood libel is a false centuries old antisemitic exhibition that Jewish people kidnapped and murdered non-Jewish children to use their blood for religious reasons. Oh, see to me. And the lie evolved to claim this is, this is, it's the Passover. It evolved from Passover. Yeah. Oh, so I always thought it was, I always thought it was about killing Jesus. Well, either way, I don't think, look, it seems that it seems like killing Jesus is just Easter. That's just Easter. Right. Sorry. And you're just Easter. It's good Friday. Well, I think, look, I think we've done enough of the catechism today. Now, you want to learn more about the old antisemitism? Follow our new Bible pod. Yeah. I mean, being Jewish is great. You should try it. Hey, it's John. Last year, 2,500 people joined us at CrookedCon for conversations with some of the smartest organizers, least annoying politicians, and most interesting voices in politics about how to fix this mess. We're doing it again, November 5th through the 7th in Washington, DC. Even more podcast panels and workshops. Plus, there will be drinks, which will lead after the midterms, no matter which way they go. Get your tickets at CrookedCon.com where we'll also announce the lineup. If you're a friend of the pod subscriber, a limited number of discounted tickets are still available, get them before they run out. See you at CrookedCon. Now, speaking of End Times, Sean Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos, Duffy, sat down for an interview and shared some wisdom on the birds and the bees. All right, welcome back to From The Kitchen Table. Rachel Amazing. I decided to bring up a question about Sidney Swingy's boobs. Yes. In the end of wokeness, if we're honest, we go, men appreciate women and men that appreciate women are not toxic. God made us a certain way to appreciate and want to meet with a woman and women are made the same way to want to be with a man. And I think Sidney Swingy is just a reminder that men are still men. I'm sorry we are and women are still women and that's okay. What is this whole Sidney Swingy discourse in response to? Who complained about Sidney Swingy and/or her boobs? I don't know. I don't totally understand. It's a little bit like a phantom coalition on the left that's like, put those things away. No one's saying that. Actually, based on woke principles, Sidney Swingy is not attractive. We crunch the numbers because of a combination of privilege and ableism, some sort of the math. We checked out the math and not hot. Woke one was crazy because straight liberal men were not even allowed to enjoy Sidney Swingy in any kind of way. Yeah, I just sort of like, hey man, Sidney Swingy is a very beautiful person. That is sort of universally agreed. That's why you know who she is. She is famous, right? Because she's a talented actor and very good looking. If she weren't talented and/or not good looking, you would not know who she is. She does have large boobs. I don't see that, but I understand that that might be the case. There's nothing really deep about you thinking she's hot. It doesn't teach you anything about the nature of men or still men and women are still women. What does that mean? Sidney Swingy is a reminder that men are men. What a service Sidney Swingy is providing. I wonder if she knew when she woke up on this day that she was performing this important service about the nature of gender itself. It was stupid. The whole discourse around the jeans ad was stupid. The idea that to try to make Sidney Swingy a token of right wing politics because she's blonde and hot and I find it like that it's just ridiculous and you can, it's like I'm horny for Sidney Swingy, parenthesis, biblical, religious. What's from the kitchen table, is that their new podcast, is that a show, is that a video series? Are we going to get to enjoy that? I think that's their show now, that's the kind of thing they're doing. I don't know. There's a lot of content coming out from the cabinet. We have their show. You have a part of the junior. They later talked about like having their, let's fuck playlist. I didn't see that. Like a playlist against them in the mood that they, I guess, I guess when they have sex, they listen to a certain playlist. Imagine it's a lot of food fighters and I don't know. At least they were looking at the real world house, the real world house, the real world house. I guess. Hey man, you know, Pavel wrote, why don't you, when are we doing the transportation part of this? I talk to this lover, leave it last night. Can you imagine if Pete Buttigieg had done an interview with Chastin and he's just like, let me just tell you something, boy do I want to fuck that, that Timothy Shalimank. It's like what, fucking, the air traffic control is using floppy disks. Can we focus? And here's what Chastin and I listen to. Yeah. So, so thank you for having me, Rachel Maddow. We love jazz when we're fucking. Yeah. Anyway, before we go, let's just check in with one other deeply normal official in the Trump administration, the U.S. attorney for the district of Columbia. Just as Justin. Yeah. Future, future, future, future Supreme Court judge, Janine Pirro. I just want to talk about form. All right. And I think you're cheating yourself a little bit. I think we got to slow down these reps. We got to slow down these reps. I'd like to see a three seconds down, three seconds. I like to see, I'd like to see some, I'd like you to slow down at the bottom of the rep. I'd like you to maybe even slow down at the top of the rep for a bit. I'd like to see, I think it's great to get to 10 reps. I think that's impressive. I think you should feel proud of yourself. But it's not about the number of reps. All right. So let's slow this down. All right. Look, I think she's, she has just reminded us that men or men are women or women or women. And she's just providing, she's a role model for, she's saying, you know, RFK Jr. and, and fucking Pete Higgseth and all these jackass men that are doing their show in their lifting weights. I can do that too. Yeah. So she's a, I think she's a feminist hero. Actually. I agree. I agree. And she's hung over. And she's hung over. And she's, and she's also showing that the, the gerontocracy still got some left in it. Just like Ed Markey. Yeah. Just like Ed Markey. Yeah. Congrats to Ed Markey for, for, for proving that, no, no daylight savings time on him. Yeah. No, right. No, it's not sitting there. Not putting the clocks back on Ed Markey. Those clocks are moving forward on Ed Markey. But I'll tell you, between now and the end of the world, do us a favor and subscribe to this channel.
