Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Tim Dillon Show, episode 500, what a journey it's been. JD Vance, our vice president, out there launching his presidential campaign, going on every podcast, not this one. He's not reached, his people have not reached out. But he went on The View, and he's on Diary of a CEO, and he's on Ross Douthit's podcast at The New York Times because Vance is plugging his new book, and the title of the book is God Chose Me, written by JD Vance.
God Chose Me, the new book by JD Vance about the process of God selecting him to lead the country. And I want to read a little bit from JD Vance's book if you would be so kind as to allow me, and I have it here, you don't even need to look it up. I have it. I have it right here. You don't even need to look it up. You can follow along with me at home. I have it right here. And this is from JD Vance's new book, God Chose Me.
And this is about JD Vance reconnecting with his faith and how God has chosen him to be the president. God, of course, used Peter Thiel as an emissary to select JD Vance. Anyway, this is, so we have here an excerpt from the book God Chose Me by JD Vance.
Here we are.
After sacrificing Charlie Kirk to the entity ball, I began to think about my faith. Long nights in the vice president's residence, pacing, thinking about if the sacrifice to ball would be enough. Long meetings in the Oval Office and the Situation Room, discussing balls incessant appetite for flesh. When will ball get enough? I would ask while drinking my morning coffee. Or at night while I sat there and my wife expressionless, stared at me and not and refusing to speak.
Does ball care about America? I would ask. Is ball a fan? Could I get a meeting with ball? Could I sit toe to toe with ball and in its ancient tongue, convince it to stop killing?
By the way, as an excerpt from a book, it's very interesting because it's JD Vance communicating with the deity ball.
Well, of course, many people are going to say, well, that's not technically in his book. It's the essence of the book. It's the essence of the book. And I'm allowed, by the way, to take poetic license because that's the thing I like about JD Vance. JD Vance would sit down with ball and try his best. Vance is a striver, you know, and when you're a striver, there's no end. Striving doesn't have an end, by the way. So there's nothing that he wouldn't consider or do to get where he wants. And I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing, but that is just a fact. And Vance knows that MAGA is ending. The MAGA movement, the party that Donald Trump threw when he walked and walked down the escalator, is ending. And I think it ended with that UFC fight. I think that was the last party MAGA was going to throw. You had motocross, you had UFC fights. That was a fun party, but it's the final. I think it's the final party. I think in the same way that that Imagine video during COVID, Hollywood didn't know it then, but that was the end of them. Like that was the finale of Hollywood. They didn't know, they thought they were making a video, trying to, I don't know what the hell they were trying to get people to do, stay in their house or shut their mouths or whatever, or feel, you know, some sort of way, you know, or, you know, they wanted to do this, you know, thing to calm people down or inspire them. Whatever was in their mind, that imagine video was the end of Hollywood. It was the finale. It was the series finale of whatever Hollywood was from its inception in the early 1900s to that imagine video in 2020, I think. That was the end. And in the same way that I think the MAGA movements final party was the octagon on the White House lawn, that seems to be a fitting symbol of the finale of the MAGA movement. As a cultural force, that was the most fun. It's not going to get more fun than that. Take a look at that. Take a look at this. Is it going to get more fun than that? You've got the flyover, the jet. Yeah, there it is. This is it. You're not going to top this. As a party goes, you were not going to top UFC on the White House lawn for the diehard MAGA people. This is what they got. They were promised a lot of other stuff. They were promised a lot of other stuff, but this is what they got. This is the party that they got. And some of them were there in person. You know, people made the pilgrimage. Some of them watched it, streamed it. Yeah, play some more. Give us that one right there. What a great, there it is. This is, I want you to look at this very closely. This is kind of the finale of MAG. This is what it is. Take it away.
