If you’re looking for good analysis breaking down the insanity of the modern “trans” movement, then J.D. Vance’s Thursday interview with podcaster Joe Rogan is the discussion to watch.

The GOP vice presidential pick and the comedian covered a lot of topics in their more than three-hour talk. From finding out how Vance was picked to be Donald Trump’s running mate to discussing the first assassination attempt against the former president, the interview provided more in-depth content about the Hillbilly Elegy author’s life and philosophy than corporate media ever could.

Among the most notable topics the two men discussed, however, was the “radical religion” of the modern transgender movement.

The conversation came to fruition after Vance and Rogan talked about the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the lack of information about the shooter.

“When there’s a school shooter, we usually have the person’s manifesto out there a day or two later. We know nothing about the motive here [regarding Butler], which I think is the craziest thing,” Vance said. “Obviously he’s motivated because he hates Donald Trump, but you don’t know anything about the secondary motive.”

“The only time we don’t get a manifesto is when they’re trans. When they’re trans, they hide those manifestos,” Rogan said.

The GOP senator referenced how officials hid the manifesto of the trans-identifying woman who carried out a mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school last year that resulted in the deaths of six people, including three children. He noted

Leaders of leftist influence groups sought to preemptively discredit potential claims of victory by former President Donald Trump and portrayed his supporters as violent in an apparent effort to pave the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to claim victory.

“There is a lot of investment by allies of President Trump to suggest that his victory is inevitable,” said David Becker, founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, which funneled millions in “Zuckbucks” to election officials in 2020. “If he loses the election, or perceives that he’s losing, you can imagine the shock that is going to be felt by his supporters, and how that’s going to be leveraged by grifters to try to anger them, to try to incite them to violence.”

The webinar, which happened Wednesday, was appropriately called “Red, White, and Coup.” It featured Becker; Nora Benavidez, senior counsel for the Free Press (which supports censorship and was founded by a socialist); Heidi Beirich, cofounder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (which smears conservative groups); and Damon Hewitt, president of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (which wages lawfare against conservatives). 

Panelists cast a potential Trump claim to victory as illegitimate and suggested his supporters and those with election integrity concerns are “extremists” with a potential for violence, in what appeared to be an attempt to predetermine the narrative and set the stage for Harris to claim victory and suppress dissent.

Discrediting a Trump Victory

Becker suggested two apparent scenarios: one

During the 2020 election, the swing state of Georgia was part of a larger trend of abnormally high requests for overseas ballots through a system riddled with potential loopholes and lack of safeguards. But this year, the number of overseas ballots requested in the state reflects a nearly 15 percent decline from what Georgia sent to overseas voters in 2020.

Since 1986, U.S. military members, their family members, and overseas citizens have been allowed to vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Voting Act (UOCAVA).

During the 2020 election in Georgia, 28,454 UOCAVA ballots were transmitted by the state to voters who had requested them, according to a report from the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission (EAC). But that number has declined by nearly 15 percent in 2024, with only 24,172 UOCAVA ballot requests in Georgia during this cycle, according to data from the Secretary of State. For reference, in 2016 only 18,634 UOCAVA ballots were transmitted by the state.

Georgia is one of several states that permits a “U.S. citizen who has never resided in the U.S.” to vote, as long as they have “a parent or legal guardian that was last registered in Georgia,” according to the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). According to a 2023 fact sheet on UOCAVA voters from the EAC, the address where an overseas voter is registered may be “home to other registered voters,” and “election mail for a UOCAVA voter who no longer lives at that address” may still be sent to
