00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060
How lucky are we to have JD Vance as vice president?

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:07.920
Now just for fun, I had to kind of go back in my email inbox

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:12.300
just to make sure I remembered the ARC.

00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:16.440
We went all in for JD Vance for US Senate

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.660
when it was unpopular, when people would call us names.

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:27.200
We went all in for JD Vance for the US Senate on like day one.

00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:33.670
And we used to get hundreds of angry emails of people who thought they knew better than us.

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:39.970
JD Vance is the worst. You should be endorsing other candidates. Why are you behind JD Vance?

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:45.970
We should actually look. I think JD Vance joined the program at least 10 to 15 times, at least.

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:52.910
In fact, the running joke is that I talked to JD Vance more on the show than off the show during the campaign.

00:00:53.450 --> 00:00:55.730
JD Vance was on the program all the time.

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:03.180
In fact, his very famous Cat Lady remark, one of which was said on our program,

00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:06.660
we recognized his gifts early on.

00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:11.240
I saw the talent and I said, this is the guy, this is the one.

00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:19.380
Now, I don't have a lot of gifts, but one of the gifts that I do have is spotting talent early.

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.340
I have a tendency to be able to do that.

00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:27.880
And I could go through the list of some of the people, and you guys know the names, but from Ana Paulina on,

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:35.260
a lot of the most talented people in the conservative movement got their start in the kind of turning point ranks.

00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:42.900
And we liked him early, but he's become so much better since then.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.540
And Blake's reminding me, including my wife by the way, I interviewed her for a job and I said,

00:01:52.940 --> 00:01:57.160
J.D. Vance has become such a warrior for our cause in the past six months.

00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:04.220
J.D. Vance sat down for his first lengthy interview with CBS News.

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:06.840
Margaret is her name.

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.760
Now, I wouldn't actually know her name was Margaret if it wasn't for J.D. Vance's

00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:17.760
very infamous, I don't care Margaret exchange and quip.

00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.000
But let me just press pause and say

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:28.160
J.D. Vance is acting and looking like the vice president that Donald Trump needs, the

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:33.200
vice president that Donald Trump deserves, and maybe beyond that, even the 48th president.

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.520
We're a long way from that.

00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:38.560
We shouldn't even think or talk too much openly about that, but he's a rock star.

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.240
He gave an amazing speech at the March for Life.

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.660
He very quietly was working the phones to, of course, make sure that Pete Hegseth became

00:02:50.510 --> 00:02:57.970
He is loyal, he's smart, he's capable, he's humble, he's phenomenal, and what an upgrade

00:02:57.970 --> 00:02:59.830
from what we had during that last administration.

00:03:02.170 --> 00:03:10.330
Here's JD Vance with Margaret from CBS News, just trying to think what is the best one

00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:10.850
to play here.

00:03:10.910 --> 00:03:11.910
Let's just do the longer one.

00:03:12.250 --> 00:03:13.190
Let's play cut two.

00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:19.540
All these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted in fact

00:03:19.540 --> 00:03:27.040
We know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks on our country

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:31.040
That happened during the campaign if you may remember so clearly not all of these four

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:33.600
30,000 people in the pipeline

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:40.860
Afghan refugee, but my primary concern as the vice president Margaret is to look after the American people and now that we know

00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:46.060
That we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs. We absolutely cannot unleash

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.180
Thousands of unvetted people into our country. People are good. These people are vetted just like the guy who planted terrorist attack in Oklahoma

00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.000
A few months ago

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.940
He was allegedly properly vetted and many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted

00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:01.000
Clearly he wasn't

00:04:01.290 --> 00:04:06.150
I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted and

00:04:06.150 --> 00:04:09.730
because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not going to force any other American citizens'

00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:10.910
kids to do that either.

00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:17.670
He has a superpower and I could tell you, somebody who does this for a living, who debates

00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:22.970
all the time, I debate professors, I debate college kids, whoever wants to come up, he

00:04:22.970 --> 00:04:28.390
has a superpower that I have to work hard towards achieving and it seems as if he has

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:32.600
He has like that natural Joe DiMaggio

00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:39.980
Lou Gehrig Babe Ruth swing. It's just you look at it. You say wow that is it's like Wayne Gretzky

00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:43.460
When you saw Wayne Gretzky on ice you're like, okay, he works his tail off

00:04:43.460 --> 00:04:47.220
But there's something that he was born with that you can't coach

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.160
It's called talent

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:52.940
JD Vance has a superpower

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.420
Where he is able

00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:02.820
to remain remarkably calm as if his heart rate is uninterrupted as if he's on beta blockers

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.620
measured despite hostile incoming enemy inquisition and fire

00:05:13.950 --> 00:05:23.060
telling you that is next level stuff he is able to stay cool calm collected in almost an effortless

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:30.620
debate or because it basically does become a debate let's be honest be

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:36.920
interviewed by Margaret Brennan is like watching Michael Jordan in game six

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:45.020
she usually can't teach that let's put up a screen on Margaret Brennan this this

00:05:45.020 --> 00:05:51.800
is the this is the face of liberalism in America angry nasty let's put that

00:05:56.190 --> 00:06:04.750
Yeah, there it is. She looks pleasant, and she got so outclassed by JD Vance. I mean, she just, it's just a completely different level.

00:06:06.550 --> 00:06:12.070
It's like a kid on the varsity high school basketball team trying to go up against Karim Abdul-Jabbar.

00:06:12.870 --> 00:06:20.350
It's not the same category. It's such a category difference, and Margaret really thought that she got him, because she's got a bunch of 26-year-old...

00:06:20.890 --> 00:06:26.490
Ivy League educated producers. Ooh, we're gonna own JD Vance. Say that we're a nation of immigrants.

00:06:26.630 --> 00:06:28.650
You think that's the first time JD's ever heard that?

00:06:30.510 --> 00:06:36.770
JD continued with this, this interview. Let's play

00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:41.610
Cut 13

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:49.900
Lowering prices for consumers. We've seen all of these executive orders. Which one lowers prices

00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:54.780
We have done a lot and there have been a number of executive orders that have caused

00:06:55.550 --> 00:07:00.030
already jobs to start coming back into our country, which is a core part of lowering prices.

00:07:00.570 --> 00:07:05.010
More capital investment, more job creation in our economy is one of the things that's

00:07:05.010 --> 00:07:09.570
going to drive down prices for all consumers, but also raise wages so that people can afford

00:07:09.570 --> 00:07:11.050
to buy the things that they need.

00:07:11.510 --> 00:07:15.010
And yes, specifically, what executive order is going to help lower prices?

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:20.380
All of the stuff that we've done on energy, to explore more energy reserves, to develop

00:07:20.380 --> 00:07:24.780
more energy resources in the United States of America, one of the main drivers of increased

00:07:24.780 --> 00:07:29.180
prices under the Biden administration is that we had a massive increase in energy prices.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.620
Donald Trump has already taken multiple executive actions that are going to lower energy prices

00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:38.200
and I do believe that means consumers are going to see lower prices at the pump and

00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:39.140
at the grocery store.

00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:46.340
has become a meme.

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:49.340
Because in one of the segments,

00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.160
JD Vance says, I don't care, Margaret.

00:07:54.340 --> 00:08:00.220
He is able to be so firm when it comes to the policy positions of the Trump administration,

00:08:00.700 --> 00:08:06.920
defend it eloquently and smoothly, while also being incredibly likable and appealing.

00:08:11.260 --> 00:08:13.060
Getting behind JD Vance,

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.300
in

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:16.560
2000 and

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.820
What was it 21? Yeah, that's right. 2021. We endorsed JD Vance very early

00:08:21.340 --> 00:08:24.480
It's kind of like buying Bitcoin in 2013

00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:29.880
A lot of upside it's a lot of upside

00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:36.860
People hear him and go wait this guy is great. He got vilified so much earlier

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.760
And it's got even better. And everyone around me knows how much I believe in J.D. Vance.

00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:47.560
I mean, I went all out twice for him, first on the Senate thing, and then on the vice presidential selection.

00:08:48.400 --> 00:08:49.980
And do you know who deserves the credit here?

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:55.500
President Donald Trump deserves the credit for selecting him as the vice president.

00:08:55.780 --> 00:09:01.700
It was an incredibly risky, unconventional, rule-breaking move.

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:12.120
There was so much pressure against that choice and he did it the establishment was against him

00:09:12.688 --> 00:09:14.840
the Uniparty was against him and

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:20.460
President Trump trust that his instinct and what a rock star loyal

00:09:21.168 --> 00:09:22.600
Talented number two he has

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:24.840
defending him every single day
