All right, folks. Check this out. Donald Trump's Week just went from bad to even worse because Theo Vaughn, a huge podcaster, has millions of followers on his different platforms, is someone who supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He just went scorched earth on the Trump administration in a recent episode of his podcast. This is incredibly damaging for Trump because the podcast bros were a crucial group of people who helped Trump win the election and without them he doesn't really have the same grasp on America's media as he would like. So, I want to get into this entire story and more.
Before I do so, make sure to subscribe to the channel down below. Drop a like on the video. Comment, let me know what you think about the story. And without further ado, let's dive in.
Before we watch this clip of Theo Vaughn and before I provide you a little bit of context, him going in on Donald Trump really just highlighted for me how Trump is just kind of turning everybody against him. I mean, especially with all the different shows, the late night shows that he's targeted, whether it be Steven Colbear or Jimmy Kimmel, he's really united these guys against him. They were always anti-Trump, but now certainly more than ever. Like for example, recently Jimmy Kimmel, Steven Colbear, and Seth Meyers shared a new photo of all of them together at an event they held mutually and the title was Hi Donald of the photo. And you can see them here together. And in a recent episode uh of this Steven Coar show, Jimmy Kimmel actually went on and they both slam Donald Trump in a clip that you just have to see. Jimmy Kimmel called Donald Trump a son of a bee. So you can just see that for yourself.
>> I mean, that son of a [ __ ] you know, is really unbelievable. Mr. Son of a [ __ ] >> I mean I mean Mr. >> Mr. Son of a [ __ ] His royal. Yes. Yeah. No, I never imagined that we'd ever have a president like this. And um I hope we don't ever have another president like this again. I mean I never imagined I never even imagined there would ever be a situation in which the president of our country was celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs. Somebody who took pleasure in that. That to me is the absolute opposite of what a leader of this country is supposed to be. Yeah, 100%.
He's referencing Donald Trump celebrating his show when it was taken off the air indefinitely by ABC and Disney. And Donald Trump did celebrate the show getting taken off the air. And it's so it's just remarkable to see how badly the Trump administration is playing the media right now. He's turned the late night hosts against him even more. He's turned their audiences against him even more. And so that brings me to this whole Theo Vaughn story, which is another sector of media that Trump is just really struggling with right now. The people who supported him are not even supporting him anymore.
So let's dive into this story surrounding Theo Vaughn. It really started here where the Trump administration used him, used him without his consent. The Department of Homeland Security, as you can see down here, which I'm not going to play for you. It's a really gross video. They posted a video basically celebrating all the deportations they've taken against, you know, American citizens, people who have never committed crimes, for example, and they included Theo Vaughn in the video. Um, and they did it without his knowledge. He responded to them directly on Twitter. This was a viral tweet saying, "Yo, DHS, I didn't approve to be used in this. I know you know my address, so send a check and please take this down and please keep me out of your banger deportation videos. When it comes to immigration, my thoughts and my heart are a lot more nuanced than this video allows. Bye," which is that in and of itself is a pretty scathing rebuke of the Trump administration and uh their immigration policies. And you know, it's just so crazy to see that, you know, 8 months, 7 months into this administration, people like Theo Vaughn, somebody who was, you know, very firmly in the Trump camp, is now saying, "No longer. No longer. We're not a fan of him anymore." And this is not the first time recently when Donald Trump said that nobody in the Amish community has autism. The vaugh said, "Sight your sources, fellas, because like, yeah, site your sources. Donald Trump is just making stuff up on the spot."
But now I want to get into this video of Theo Vaughn really going scorched earth where he just goes all in on Donald Trump and his insanity with his immigration policies specifically focusing on Donald on on Trump in the administration using him in that video without his consent. So take a look at what Theo Vaughn had to say.
>> My father immigrated here from Nicaragua, right? Like one of my prized possessions is I have his immigration papers when he came here. Um, and I have him in a frame and um, him and his uh, siblings when they came here. And so I have tons of thoughts about it, but this this was just [ __ ] up, right? It was [ __ ] up >> and it was everywhere. It was like on all platforms and stuff. So So that had me really kind of paranoid, >> you know, that had me start to get kind of paranoid and um, you know, like closing like you know, I had the curtains in my house kind of closed. I was just like, you know, you're paranoid. I woke up the next morning. Sorry, I need some water. I woke up the next morning to a text from a high government official saying, "Hey, if you need uh some extra security in your neighborhood um or some extra police cars on patrol, let me know." And I'm like, "What? What are you talking about? Extra security? I don't have any like you know I don't even know the code to my Ring camera like I don't even know how to log in. So it's like and then and like what you just going to put police cars in my neighborhood? What are my neighbors going to think now? They're fearful. Like it just like I don't know man that that like really kind of shook me. It really kind of shook me. Um but you just you keep marching on, you know, and you start getting security and then now but now you have security, right? And the thing is, you just don't know. You just don't know, right? There was a moment on the like it was White House because the White House also put this out. Yeah.
I mean, that's a, you know, a pretty sad story um that Theo Vaughn just talked about. You know, he talked about, you know, my father immigrated here from Nicaragua. I have, you know, his immigration papers. I'm proud of his history. I'm proud of my father. That's what he's saying. I have them in a frame. This was just effed up for him to be included in that video without his consent. And it got so crazy because he's talking about, you know, needing security. It's because he responded to the Trump administration and said, "Hey, take this down." You know, they were nervous. He was nervous that some MAGA guy might come after him because he rebuked the Trump administration and did and did so publicly. That's the America we live in, folks. I mean really where podcasters like Theo Vaughn, these huge names, these huge figures, have to be worried if they decide to push back on Donald Trump in public. I just thought this clip of him talking about his experience and everything that happened after this video was published and after he responded to the video is just kind of like a sad reflection on America.
I have another clip to show you where he talks about Trump's deportation policies. But before we get into that, I would like to proudly say, let's hear from our sponsor for the day, who's keeping the channel up and running. Take a look.
Okay, everyone. It's that time of year again. Medicare annual enrollment. I know the junk mail and the spam calls are super annoying, but this is one Medicare update you can't ignore.

So, we're back from hearing from our sponsor, and this is the final clip I want to play you uh for the video. It's Theo Vaughn talking about Trump's deportation policies, and I just think you should hear it because this was also in the same podcast episode as well. Take a look.
>> And and I have a lot of thoughts about immigration, right? I have a ton of them, and we don't need to go into them all right now. I've talked about them on other episodes. Um I feel like they're doing a lot of bookkeeping in the country right now because we're going to get into a surveillance state and everyone is going to have to be on the books, right? So that's where I believe that we're headed.
Wow. Saying we're headed to a surveillance state, which um is not that outlandish of a thing to say regarding immigration. I mean, Donald Trump and the MAGA people in his administration every day are moving toward a policy where, you know, at every opportunity you have to show your papers. You have to show that you're an American citizen or you're a legal resident or whatever it might be. That's what they want, right? That's what they want. They want you. So, you know, the whole debate with the the government shutdown right now is basically MAG is saying, "Hey, if you're an undocumented immigrant and you get hit by a car and you're on the road dying, you should have to show your papers before you go to the hospital." I mean, it's just insane what's going on in this country. And, you know, with the podcasters turning on Donald Trump, that's a big deal. That's a big deal and very bad news for Trump.
So, anyway, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for being here. Make sure to subscribe to the channel. Just had to show you these clips of Theo Vaughn. Make sure to drop a like as well. Comment down below. Let me know your thoughts. And as I always say, I greatly appreciate you.
