Speaker 1 (00:07):
The practice Club. Bitch.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, Nan, please tell me why was I your.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Donkey of the day?

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well, Tommy Lauren donkey today for Thursday, October sixteenth goes
the various members of the leaders of Young Republican Groups.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
That's actually the name of the organization, Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
They come from various Young Republican groups from around the country.
For example, William Hendrix is the Kansas Young Republicans vice chair.
Bobby Walker is the vice chair of the New York
State Young Republicans. Peter Gunta I think I'm pronouncing his
name incorrectly is the chair of New York State Republicans.
There's others Samuel Douglas, Michael Bartel's, Alex Dwyer and Kakatie,

(00:45):
Joe Mulino, Luke Moisman, and Rachel Hope. Now these individuals
had thousands of private messages leaked, and these young GOP
leaders joked about cast chambers, slavery, and rape.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now I saw this story but didn't pay much attention
to it. Earlier to day.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
We couldn't pay much attention past the headline until I
heard Vice President JD.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Vance say this, I really don't want us to grow
up in a country where a kid telling a stupid joke,
telling a very offensive, stupid joke is caused.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
To ruin their lives. We're not canceling kids because they
do something stupid in a group chat.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Now, that's a reasonable logical take, except for these aren't kids.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
These are twenty four to thirty five year olds.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Jd Vance himself is forty one, so I don't know
how he identifies these people as kids.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
But in theory, what jd Vance is.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Saying, I agree with, the reality is kids do do
stupid things.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
They tell edgie offensive jokes. Hey, we all do.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I love an edgy, offensive joke, and I don't want
to live in a country where a kid or anyone
else telling a stupid, offensive edgie joke has caused to
ruin their lives.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I agree with all that in theory, but I also hadn't.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Looked at what was said in this chat before I
heard Jdvance. Now, whether or not this has caused the
ruin of life, I don't know. I don't even know
what that means. I don't know if their life will
be ruined by this, But I do know this is
donkey a day worthy because in this chat they joked
about putting their political opponents in gas chambers, to which
one of them responded.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Great, I love Hitler.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide.
They praised Republicans who they believe supported slavery, and they
referred to black people as monkeys and the watermelon people.
Let's go to NBC News for the report.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Police new fallout tonight from a racist and violent group
chat involving leaders of some young Republican groups, as reported
by Politico, the outlet obtaining more than seven months worth
of telegram messages in which they say, members muse about
using gas chambers against political opponents. I'm ready to watch
people burn now, one person responds, another describing rape as epic.

(02:47):
The chat includes anti Semitic comments and racial slurs against black, Latino,
Asian people, and other epithets used more than two hundred
and fifty times, according to Politico. The outlet says one person,
after being told backers would support the most right wing
candidate for a leadership role, responded great, I love Hitler.
At another point, someone writes, if we ever had a

(03:09):
leak of this chat, we would be cooked. NBC News
has not independently obtained or verified the messages, which reportedly
involved political advisors and strategists in New York, Arizona, Kansas,
and Vermont, including a state senator.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
There.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now at least three people involved in the chat are
reportedly out of a job. The Kansas Young Republicans deactivated.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Listen, what's so interested about this is one of them
in the chat, as you just heard, worried about what
would happen if their telegram chat ever got leaked. But
they kept typing those kinds of messages anyway, and the
reality is nothing is really going to happen because none
of them with celebrities. Do you realize folks only get
outraged when it's a celebrity involved. They not celebrities, are

(03:52):
connected to any celebrity, they're just young Republicans. So those
young Republicans will be used to reinforce the narrative that
this current administration is racing and white supremacists. By the way,
they've earned every single one of those accusations because JD. Vance,
I don't know how you read these texts and just
don't simply denounce this.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, there's no way you read these.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Texts, and there's no way members of your DONA class
are not offended by these texts.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Back in July of twenty twenty four, track Apex said
that jd Vance received almost one hundred and seventy thousand
dollars from pro Israel lobbyists.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't know what the number is.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Now, but how would they feel about you just dismissing
a bunch of young people saying I love Hitler and
they want their political opponents and gas chambers. Okay, you
can't just dismiss that. It's just edgy offensive jokes.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I wouldn't give you another dollar until you denounced these folks.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
All right.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
This guy, Peter Gunta, said he was going to create
some of the greatest psychological torture methods known to man.
Are the physiological I think it's physiological torture methods known
to man. We only want true believers. Hey, Peter, I'm
waiting for the punchline.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay. Joe Maleno replied.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Replied to that, can we fix the showers? Gas chambers
don't fit the Hitler aesthetic? And Kkaty said I'm ready
to watch them burn now. Then Joe Molino said, we
gotta pretend that we liked them. Hey, come on in,
take a nice shower and relax. Boom, they're dead. These
folks are actively thinking and typing ways to torture Jewish

(05:21):
and Black people in the future. And I don't see
enough online outrage about this. Okay, social media, y'all supposed
to have been made them famous, all right. I know
they not celebrities. I know they don't host shows on ESPN.
I know they don't have a podcast that gets millions
of listeners.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
But they deserve that outrage.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Okay, y'all only seen y'all seem the only reserved for
celebrities that type of outrage. Okay, but these folks are
organized and strategically planning your demise.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Let me say it's slow for you.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
So you know their names, Peter Guntu, I know I'm
mispronouncing that, Bobby Walker, Samuel Douglas, William Hendrix, Michael Bartel's,
Alex Dwyer and k Katie, Joe Milino, Luke Moy's and
Rachel Hope. You know their names, so now go strategize
complain to their places of employment. I was reading on
ABC News where some GOP leaders were calling for the

(06:10):
resignation of these young Republicans who used these slurs and
were sending these racist messages. Republican Governor Phil Scott of
Vermont called out the state senator and head of Vermont's
Young Republican chapter, Sam Douglas, and said he should resign
immediately and leave the party because of these messages.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Good for you, Phil, Phil Scott. Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
The chair of the Kansas GOP party, the Nadri Herbert,
announced Tuesday that the state's Young Republicans chapter has been deactivated. Okay,
they said the comments do not reflect the beliefs of
Republicans and certainly not Kansas Republicans at large.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Good for you, Dan Deree.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Herbert Peter Guinte who sent the message, I love Hitler.
He has since vacated his posts.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Good.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
But what about the rest of y'all? Okay, I'm just
saying a president is being said. All right, Clearly some
Republicans aren't standing for this, and I'm glad, but.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
We need to bring that water to a boil.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay, So please give the leaders of the Young Republican
groups the biggest he hull. And do i't want you
to know I had to google watermelon people. Okay, I
didn't even try.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
To leave my AI either.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I just simply googled the watermelon people came up. It
is a racist trope, okay, used towards black people. The
stereotype emerged after the Civil War as a way for
white Southerners to demean and control the newly freed black population.
So it's classic because, as I've told y'all before in
this radio, black people were using watermelon as a symbol
of freedom after emancipation, but Southern whites weaponized it by

(07:40):
depicting it as a sign of laziness and ignorance and childishness.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
As if they don't like watermelon.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Two, as if watermelon is not delicious an over ninety
percent water, which makes it an excellent source.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
Of vidration for watermelon and monkey is okay, that's whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, I mean, yes, watermelon people is offensive.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
But I mean no, say, you know, right, but I'm like, nah, whatever,
the raping and the you know, killing and the gas
chamber and all that absolutely is what they need to be.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's cause for consequence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
But what what should make even more upset is the
fact that JD. Van said, you know what, it is
not that bad.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
You read this, I don't think you read it, but
I'm not going to shoot you got to read it.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You gotta read it. You know what, watermelon people.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
That's ten people that you named. That's ten.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Only three of them were I think only time received
some consequences from what I read.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean one one vacated, the Peter guy vacated.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
I think is it just their names or are their
faces up there too?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, all right, all right, well the internetwork will be
done today.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
You know, we got some of the high quality investigators online.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, that's if their job cares. Hopefully.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
By the way, I have no problem being a watermelon person,
but I love watermelon. Let's want you to know that.
And I mean Lauren la Rossa referred to somebody she
referred to Mexican is a taco yesterday, Oh my god.
And I called some white people mayonnaise man, most human
jar helmet, So I get it.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, they still got to come outside. They have to
come outside. Your names and your pictures have been revealed,
y'all still got to come outside, all right, So hopefully
y'all dont run into the watermelon people with no monkeys
then read y'all messages.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
All right, Well, thank you for that donkey. Hopefully y'all

Speaker 3 (09:25):
