This is Michael Popak, Legal AF. And speaking of AF, if you thought that Christy Noem ended
her political career by admitting in a memoir that she killed a dog on purpose, what do you
think is going to happen to Kevin Roberts, the executive director of the Heritage Foundation
and the architect of Project 2025,
where at least four different witnesses have come out
to the Guardian in their reporting
to say that he killed the neighbor's dog with a shovel
because he didn't like all the barking
and that he was a professor
at the University of New Mexico at the time and
that even the chairman of the department remembers that Kevin Roberts very publicly told people
in his inner circle that he used a shovel to kill the dog and if that dog had puppies
he would have killed those dogs with a shovel as well.
This is on the heels of, let's connect this to JD Vance.
Let's connect the dots for a minute.
JD Vance is busy promulgating a false blood libel
against the hardworking Haitian community
in Springfield, Ohio, and by extension,
all black and brown people
that come to this country legally,
by saying that he's heard rumors,
his constituents of his in Ohio
have let him know that a duck is missing,
that somebody might be eating, I don't know,
a dog is missing and maybe we blame the Haitians.
Well, the dog is missing,
maybe you should blame Kevin Roberts.
Last I looked, he's not Haitian, but he took out a dog
and the family never knew what happened to poor little Loca
that went missing to this day until the Guardian reporting got exposed.
JD Vance wrote the foreword for the book published, written by Kevin Roberts about his
right-wing alt-right credentials. And Project 2025, you should read it,
is going to be the blueprint for Donald Trump
if he ever gets anywhere near the White House.
It talks about effectively a woman's place is in the home.
I'm not making this up.
It's of course anti-reproductive rights.
It's for the installing the church
as the head of the country
and the elimination of the head of the country and the elimination of the
Department of Education. And that's just for starters. Now Donald Trump, I
guess, had heard about it. Somebody read it to him or parts of it or he got a
Cliff Notes for Dummies version of it and he said, oh no, I don't support any of
that. That's not, I don't, what is that again? And there's plenty of people in his inner circle that worked on it. There are people in the Trump administration
originally that are contributors to it. JD Vance wrote the forward for the guy's book.
You're telling me you want the American public to believe now that we've seen what's inside
of it. And it's an American version of Mein Kampf that you do not going to use it for
the first 180 days. When you're a dictator on day one, you're not going to use it for the first 180 days.
When you're a dictator on day one, you're not going to implement Project 2025. And now you know
all you need to know, if you didn't before, about Kevin Roberts, about Kevin Roberts complimenting
the Supreme Court and their right-wing agenda that's been shoved down our throats and put in
other body parts of ours, especially women. And now you know what kind of person we're dealing with.
A person that was a professor apparently
that picked up a shovel and brained the neighbor's dog.
And the dog disappeared.
The neighbors never knew what happened to that dog.
And now Kevin Roberts says that that's a slur against him,
that that didn't happen.
And that he last he recalled,
animal control took the dog.
Well, they've reached out to the family and the family says they don't know what he's talking
about. Let me read to you from a couple of quotes, just so you don't think I'm making this up,
from colleagues of Kevin Roberts while he was a professor that I guess he hoped would not resurface at another time. Here's the statement.
When he was at a history professor,
this is from the chair of the history department
that Kevin Roberts was in
while the dog killing incident happened.
Quote, my recollection of his account,
this is from Roberts,
was that he was discussing in the hallway
with various members of the faculty, including me, that a neighbor's dog had been barking pretty relentlessly and was
keeping the baby and probably the parents awake and that he kind of lost it and took a shovel and
killed the dog. End of problem. This is a quote by Kenneth Hammond, who was the chair of the
department at the time. Two other people, a professor and her spouse,
recall hearing a similar account directly from Roberts
at a dinner at his home.
Three other professors heard the account at the time
from the colleagues who said they heard it
directly from Roberts.
So you've got people that heard it,
confirming the people that were there for it,
people that heard contemporaneously from the people that were there for it, people that heard
contemporaneously from the people that were there for it. None recall Roberts ever saying
that the dog he allegedly said he killed was actively threatening him or his family. This
is from The Guardian reporting. When The Guardian reached Roberts, he denied ever killing a
dog with a shovel, but he did not answer questions as to why several of the people remember him telling him that, telling them that. He said instead, this is his quote,
he's going to have to try to run away with here. This is a patently untrue and baseless story backed
by zero evidence. I don't know. I don't think five different people is zero evidence.
I mean, unless we exhume the dog
that we don't know where it is and we find the shovel,
I think this is a pretty strong case against you, Kevin.
In 2004, a neighbor's chained pit bull,
oh, here we go, it's gonna be like an attack on pit bulls,
attempted to jump a fence into my backyard
as I was gardening with my young daughter.
The all-American pastime of gardening
with your young daughter in a backyard.
Thankfully, the owner arrived in time to restrain the animal
before it could get loose again and attack us.
And then I think the people took it away with animal control.
So as a kid, I loved eating cereal.
But as an adult, I don't want all that sugar
and most cereals don't give me the protein I need.
Then I found Magic Spoon,
a nostalgically delicious cereal that tastes just like my childhood favorites, but without the sugar
and with a ton of protein. And if you're already a Magic Spoon fan, I got big news. Magic Spoon has
turned their super popular cereal into high protein treats that are light, crispy, and taste just like
those classic crunchy cereal bars.
Magic Spoon's brand new treats are so delicious they've already become my favorite before
and after gym snack.
Every serving of Magic Spoon cereal has 13 grams of protein, 0 grams of sugar, and 4
grams of net carbs, so you can feel good about what you're eating.
The most popular flavors are fruity and cocoa,
and there's so many more.
Magic Spoon's brand new treats are crispy, crunchy, airy,
and an easy way to get 11 grams of protein on the go.
And for the first time ever,
Magic Spoon treats are available in grocery stores
with delicious flavors like marshmallow
and chocolatey peanut butter.
My favorite is Magic Spoon's chocolatey peanut butter
treats, and by the way, they're my wife's favorite too.
They're our favorite late night snack.

Magic Spoon, hold on to the dream.
The history chairman said they didn't really want to
like engage with him because, you know,
he was sort of right wing nutty.
And so that they didn't want to like challenge him
about the propriety and the morality
of killing your neighbor's dog.
But now it's coming to surface.
And I think it's, there's no irony here.
You got JD Vance running around with the blood libel,
dehumanizing hardworking Haitians
who were invited to this country
by the Springfield business community
in order to fill tens of thousands of jobs
that couldn't be filled after COVID.
And all we had was the proud Haitian community in Miami,
business and legal community in Miami,
connecting their friends and relatives
who were suffering in Haiti to the place that had jobs.
I thought that is the proper purpose of immigration policy,
to take downtrodden people who were yearning to breathe free and bring them to
this country and connect them to high paying jobs and help our economy.
Here's the equation that JD Vance and Donald Trump never acknowledge.
If the Haitians had not come under temporary protective status, which has been used
by every administration, including the Trump administration, to Springfield, Ohio, those
factories would have been shuttered because there wouldn't have been enough workers. And so it would
have devastated the economy of Springfield, Ohio, the state that JD Vance is sworn to protect as a senator from Ohio. They never
answer that. They're too busy using the blood libel of that dark other person ate a cat,
which we know is ridiculous. It's just JD Vance trying to get back at the media because
there was a vicious rumor that he screwed his own couch
that he revealed in Hillbilly Elegy. Not true, but it had that ring of truthiness.
And so the meme went around the world
and it chapped obviously his ass
and he decided to get back at the Haitian community,
which I don't even understand.
I think they should worry about cleaning their own house
in the Republican party. I can't even understand. I don't I think they should worry about cleaning their own house in the Republican Party. I
Can't recall in my lifetime a story about a Democrat or independent that killed animals
as willingly as the Republicans you got
RFK jr. When he's not busy with his black book of hundreds of people he cheated with against his wife
That's now been made public. He's killing bear cubs and then leaving them in Central Park
for unsuspecting people to run across as a practical joke. Or Kristi Noem is
killing dogs that she felt were too weak to work on her farm and shot the dog and
left it in a pit. Or now you've got Kevin Roberts that decides that
while he's gardening with his daughter in the in his backyard, he picked up the
gardening shovel and brain the neighbor's dog without telling them and
made it disappear. These are the people that stand in front of church pews as
church elders. This guy's a member of Opus Dei, right wing of the Catholic church.
You know, I'm sure he's been an elder.
I'm sure he's had some position of power within his church.
Is he living his gospel?
Braining the neighbor's dog?
I don't think so.
But this is the charade, you know?
We got Mark Robinson in North Carolina Carolina who's out there telling women,
pull your skirts down, that'll help so you don't have to have an abortion.
Telling people, admitting that he used to look at women as a peeping tom in their showers when he
was a teenager, participating in a porn site where he called himself black Nazi and while in public
He's telling the world that he wants to eliminate civil rights for people who identify as transgender
But on the porn site he is engaging and watching
transgender porn
this is his words not mine as as
CNN has reported
this is that as CNN has reported. This is the, let the scales drop from everyone's eyes
about what this Republican party
and its depravity has become.
Okay, there's supposed to be people
we could have our children look up to, these leaders.
How can you look up to Kevin Roberts,
without seeing now the shovel and the neighbor's dog
we're gonna continue to follow the hypocrisy of MAGA
and the Republican party as we bring low
these false prophets and leaders
who are trying to get people to vote for Donald Trump
when he doesn't deserve it.
