Transcripts
hello guys and welcome to trace tment
thank you guys so much for tuning in
with me it's a pleasure to have you guys
here and in today's video guys JD Vance
completely educates Caitlyn Collins on
her own show where she tried to hit him
with a couple gya questions but he
completely takes control educates her
and then explains on why what she's
saying is not correct and I love the way
he did it check this video out last week
those immunity arguments before The
Supreme Court where Trump's team his
attorney argued that a president could
order the military to Stage a coup and
to have their political opponent
assassinated and be immune from
prosecution unless this theory that they
were impeached and then convicted by the
Senate do you share the view that
presidents are basically Above the
Law look look Caitlyn I think we have to
be careful about imputing words into the
president's attorneys that they didn't
actually say what the president's
attorney said is that what the
president's attorney said Caitlyn to be
clear is that there is a checks and
balances system in our constitution now
some things the president does Private
acts uh are are liable to criminal
penalties but most of the things that
the president does in their official
duties we have a system of impeachment
we have a system of checks and balances
the legislative branch that I'm a member
of the judicial branch I I do not read
the president's attorneys as saying uh
that the president could order a coup
the president's attorneys are saying
that the Constitutional checks and
balances system would address that
problem that's an important distin but
let me stop you right there cuz I listen
to this it's John sour Trump's attorney
and when he was asked by one of the
justices if the president could order
the military to Stage a coup and would
it count as an official act meaning he
couldn't be prosecuted for it he said it
would depend on the circumstances I mean
what circumstances warrant a president
ordering the military to stay Jak coup
well first of all he did say it depends
on the circumstances that it opens up a
whole lot of Avenue uh for for context
there but more importantly Caitlyn he's
just saying that would count as an
official act there are number that's an
official act in your view too but but
could I finish the answer to the
question Caitlyn in official act there
are a number of checks and balances in
our system there's the impeachment
process uh there's the budgeting
Authority that Congress has there are a
number of ways where Congress has a
check and balance control over the
president of the United States all he's
saying is that the criminal liability
procedures that exist in this country
don't cover the president's official
acts and by the way how could anybody
disagree with that Kaitlin should Barack
Obama be prosecuted for killing an
American citizen via a drone strike
there are a number of examples in
American history where if you apply the
standard the law fair standard of the
Biden Administration against Donald
Trump it would make the presidency
impossible to actually execute the law
so guys as you can see I love how JD
Vince took control of the situation even
with her interrupting him while he was
trying to give give his answer to what
she was questioning you know he was very
calm at doing so but I love how he took
control of the situation and simply just
educated her on what is right you know
at the end of the day she tried to
handle with a couple gyaa questions and
it didn't work you know and that
response that he gave was I mean it was
perfect you know he was basically saying
that this is the way that it works and
it's kind of crazy cuz I bet she wasn't
looking for that type of response you
knowz she was basically trying to hit
him with that gotya question and it
didn't work and he just clearly gave her
a response that she wasn't looking for
guys let me know in the comments section

it the right way I think he did awesome
