[00:00:00] well the pick is in president Trump has [00:00:01] announced who his vice presidential [00:00:03] candidate will be president Trump by the [00:00:05] way was formerly nominated a few minutes [00:00:08] ago and now he has announced the vice [00:00:10] presidential pick the Vice Presidential [00:00:12] nominee on the Republican side of the [00:00:13] aisle a lot of people had predicted it [00:00:16] the media had suggested it was going to [00:00:17] be the case it is in fact Ohio Senator [00:00:20] JD Vance the president put out an [00:00:22] announcement on his truth social page it [00:00:25] says quote after lengthy deliberation [00:00:27] and thought and considering the [00:00:28] tremendous talents of many others I've [00:00:30] decided that the person best suited to [00:00:31] assume the position of Vice President of [00:00:33] the United States is Senator JD Vance of [00:00:34] the great state of Ohio JD honorably [00:00:36] served our country in the Marine Corp [00:00:38] graduated from Ohio State University in [00:00:39] two years sumam loud and is a Yale law [00:00:42] school graduate where he was editor of [00:00:43] the Yale Law Journal and president of [00:00:44] the Yale law veterans association JD's [00:00:47] book Hill belly elogy became a major [00:00:48] bestseller in movie as a champion the [00:00:49] hardworking men and women of our country [00:00:51] JD has had a very successful business [00:00:53] career in technology and finance and now [00:00:54] during the campaign will be strongly [00:00:56] focused on the people he fought so [00:00:57] brilliantly for the American workers and [00:00:59] farmers in Pennsyvania Michigan [00:01:00] Wisconsin Ohio Minnesota and far beyond [00:01:02] so you can tell from president Trump's [00:01:05] introduction of JD Vance exactly what he [00:01:07] is looking for here he is looking for [00:01:09] somebody with an extremely high IQ JD is [00:01:11] a super smart guy I interviewed JD maybe [00:01:13] five six years ago when hillbilly elery [00:01:15] was being made into a movie you can go [00:01:17] check out that interview at our YouTube [00:01:18] page JD is super super right Senator [00:01:21] Vance is a very very smart person not [00:01:23] only that he's an excellent articulator [00:01:26] of the Trump Vision there's no question [00:01:28] about this when he goes on on television [00:01:30] he is an absolute Bulldog a debate [00:01:32] between JD Vance and K Harris should by [00:01:34] all measures be an absolute bloodbath in [00:01:37] favor of JD Vance not only that you can [00:01:40] see what Trump is doing here [00:01:41] strategically speaking now on a [00:01:43] strategic level I think that Trump [00:01:45] already has more appeal probably in [00:01:47] these Rust Belt blue wall States than [00:01:50] Vance does but he's doubling down on [00:01:51] that he figures that rather than tried [00:01:54] to appeal to say Hispanics with Marco [00:01:56] Rubio he's probably figuring there [00:01:57] aren't that many Hispanic voters in [00:01:58] Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin [00:02:00] that's right he's probably got the Sun [00:02:02] Belt already wrapped up and so he [00:02:03] doesn't necessarily need somebody like [00:02:04] Marco Rubio who was dismissed he [00:02:06] probably figured that Doug Burham the [00:02:08] governor of North Dakota doesn't win him [00:02:09] any additional votes because of course [00:02:11] he's the governor of North Dakota he's [00:02:13] probably figuring and some of the other [00:02:15] candidates who had been discussed really [00:02:18] don't bring all that much to the table [00:02:21] what he's figuring is that Vance is [00:02:22] going to help him sew up those Rust Belt [00:02:24] states they're going to further solidify [00:02:26] his leads right now and by the polls he [00:02:28] is leading in Pennsylvania Michigan and [00:02:30] Wisconsin he literally says that at the [00:02:32] very end of this statement and he is [00:02:34] focusing on the white workingclass voter [00:02:36] who he believes JD van represents now [00:02:38] what's fascinating about JD Vans just as [00:02:40] a person is that if you read hillbilly [00:02:42] elery it's a very pro- free market anti- [00:02:45] Weare State Manifesto it basically [00:02:48] speaks to the idea that when you make [00:02:49] people feel dependent on government that [00:02:51] that is not in fact a substitute for [00:02:54] Social Capital it's not a substitute for [00:02:56] all the institutions that need a [00:02:58] community that need to create a [00:03:00] community things like church things like [00:03:02] family and all of the rest and he seems [00:03:05] to have been more involved in say [00:03:07] industrial policy the idea that there [00:03:09] need to be special economic [00:03:11] dispensations made for this area of the [00:03:13] country again that's part of Trump's [00:03:14] program too that's nothing new president [00:03:15] Trump has always been prot trade [00:03:17] barriers protectionist trade barriers [00:03:19] for this part of the country JD Vance [00:03:21] doubles down on that economically [00:03:23] speaking he is certainly less Pro [00:03:24] business than somebody like Doug beram [00:03:26] would be he's much more populist in sort [00:03:28] of his economic [00:03:31] formation ideologically than somebody [00:03:33] like berham he's very largely a doubling [00:03:35] down a friend that I was discussing this [00:03:37] with put it this way and I think it's [00:03:39] exactly right if Trump wanted to go [00:03:42] after say moderates in Virginia if he [00:03:44] was interested in broadening his base [00:03:47] out Beyond sort of these rust Bel States [00:03:49] if he wanted to open up New Hampshire [00:03:50] say then somebody like a Glenn youngin [00:03:52] might have been a good pick but if Trump [00:03:53] is very confident that he's going to win [00:03:55] and if what he wants right now is a [00:03:56] bulldog somebody who's just going to be [00:03:58] loyal at his side attack the opponent [00:04:02] he's not going to do better than JD Vans [00:04:04] the the person put it this way Glenn [00:04:06] yunan is a let's go for 40 States guy [00:04:09] and JD Vance is a effort weide guy and I [00:04:12] think that's a really good description [00:04:13] JD Vance is an effort we ride guy for [00:04:16] Donald Trump he doubles down on many of [00:04:18] Trump's ideologies he's much more [00:04:20] heterodox than say a Mike Pence was in [00:04:24] in Donald Trump's first [00:04:25] turn and so I I think that from that [00:04:28] perspective if Donald Trump wants there [00:04:30] to be a philosophical trumpism that [00:04:32] outlasts him as president JD Vance is an [00:04:33] excellent pick because the man is [00:04:35] extraordinarily young the thing to point [00:04:37] out about JD Vance is that I'm a fairly [00:04:38] young guy in politics JD is younger than [00:04:40] I am right JD is is currently 39 years [00:04:43] old he's only been a United States [00:04:45] senator from Ohio since 2023 so he's [00:04:48] made huge waves in the senate in the [00:04:50] course of the last year and a half he's [00:04:52] been in the senate for less time than [00:04:53] Barack Obama was when he ran for [00:04:55] president in 2008 which is pretty [00:04:58] impressive and again when you look at at [00:05:00] JD Vance's resume it's an extraordinary [00:05:02] resume you're talking about a a a not [00:05:05] only a New York Times bestselling author [00:05:06] but somebody who's very involved in the [00:05:08] tech world he founded naira Capital [00:05:10] which is an Ohio based Venture Capital [00:05:12] firm with backing from Peter teal and [00:05:14] Eric Schmidt and Mark andreon and the [00:05:16] goal of that was to bring jobs back to [00:05:19] Ohio again extremely smart person and a [00:05:23] really good arguer he also happens to be [00:05:25] ideologically shall we say flexible and [00:05:28] the reason I put that out there is [00:05:29] because again shifted his position on [00:05:30] economics from Hill bology to now but [00:05:32] that again mirrors very much Donald [00:05:34] Trump's own ideological flexibility [00:05:36] Donald Trump is not a traditional [00:05:37] conservative in any sense of the word [00:05:39] Donald Trump is a pragmatist who will do [00:05:41] what he feels like he has to do in order [00:05:43] to get where he needs to go JD Vance is [00:05:44] actually much more like that than any of [00:05:46] the other candidates who are up for the [00:05:48] position so for example here was JD [00:05:51] Vance this is just last week on Meet the [00:05:53] Press talking about abortion and he was [00:05:56] asked about the fact that the new [00:05:57] Republican platform is much more shall [00:06:01] we say sanguin about abortion than uh [00:06:04] than [00:06:05] historically and and what he said in [00:06:07] this particular case is that again he's [00:06:11] pro-life from the moment of birth but [00:06:13] that doesn't mean that on a [00:06:14] state-by-state level that is exactly how [00:06:16] it should be [00:06:17] done right again that's that's fairly [00:06:20] that's fairly I think within measure for [00:06:24] JD Vance do we have that clip [00:06:26] folks clip 14 of Senator Vance [00:06:30] okay uh again his position on many of [00:06:34] these issues has been heterodox the the [00:06:36] same thing is true with regard to [00:06:37] Ukraine so on Ukraine the Republican [00:06:40] party has been very split between people [00:06:42] who believe very strongly that the war [00:06:43] in Ukraine should continue with American [00:06:45] funding and Senator Vance Senator Vance [00:06:47] has taken a very anti- Ukraine stance in [00:06:49] that particular [00:06:50] War now he's he has taken the position [00:06:53] that that Donald Trump was respected in [00:06:55] the world and the war never would have [00:06:56] happened with regard to Trump and the [00:06:58] thing about Vance I think that you can [00:06:59] is that he's going to be ex he's going [00:07:01] to staple himself to Trump's position so [00:07:03] if Donald Trump says that he believes [00:07:05] that Ukraine must be funded up until the [00:07:07] point there's an offramp with Russia [00:07:09] then I would imagine that JD would [00:07:11] probably mirror that do we have the clip [00:07:13] of JD Vance talking about [00:07:15] Ukraine be clip 16 [00:07:27] [Music] [00:07:31] all right so in any case as Senator [00:07:33] Vance I apologize for the technical [00:07:35] snafus Senator Vance is is a fascinating [00:07:37] character you're going to learn a lot [00:07:38] more about him he's been considered sort [00:07:41] of the nerve the nerve sensor political [00:07:43] calls him the nerve sensor of the new [00:07:44] right here is where the vulnerability [00:07:46] lies for Senator Vance in this race so [00:07:48] if you're Donald Trump and you wanted to [00:07:50] go with the least controversial person [00:07:52] in the race it certainly would not be [00:07:53] Senator Vance right Senator Vance [00:07:55] there's been a lot of media coverage of [00:07:56] him again because he is heterodox and [00:07:57] because he takes positions that are sort [00:07:59] of to the traditional Republican party [00:08:01] there's been a lot of focus on him [00:08:02] particularly in terms of foreign policy [00:08:04] Politico did a very very long magazine [00:08:07] piece on him just back in March in which [00:08:11] they labeled him is there something more [00:08:13] radical than Maga JD Vance is dreaming [00:08:14] it so if if Joe Biden is seeking to up [00:08:17] the ante on the argument that Donald [00:08:19] Trump is a threat to the Republic that [00:08:21] Donald Trump is dangerous to the country [00:08:23] then JD Vance is going to be the new [00:08:25] bogey man and what you could see from [00:08:26] the Biden campaign just speaking [00:08:27] politically what you could see from the [00:08:28] Biden campaign is an attempt to swivel [00:08:30] its guns away figuratively speaking from [00:08:32] Trump and toward JD Vans because they [00:08:34] feel like they can't really go after [00:08:36] Donald Trump because Donald Trump is [00:08:38] sort of invulnerable publicly JD Vance [00:08:41] obviously has has said a lot of things [00:08:43] over the course of the last couple of [00:08:44] years so for example even this week JD [00:08:47] Vance in the immediate aftermath of the [00:08:48] assassination attempt he said today is [00:08:50] not just some isolated incident the [00:08:52] central premise of the Biden campaign is [00:08:53] that President Donald Trump is an [00:08:54] authoritarian fascist who must be [00:08:56] stopped at all costs that rhetoric led [00:08:57] directly to president Trump's attempted [00:08:59] assass ass now again I don't think [00:09:01] that's totally untrue I think it's a [00:09:03] little overstated when he says it led [00:09:04] directly to president Trump's attempted [00:09:06] assassination I think that it's fair to [00:09:08] say that it raised the temperature [00:09:09] radically we don't actually have the [00:09:11] evidence as to what the shooter did he [00:09:12] leave a Manifesto was he quoting [00:09:14] President Biden and even so somebody [00:09:16] saying something that is not in fact [00:09:18] technical incitement is not tantamount [00:09:20] to that person actually going and doing [00:09:22] the shooting if it were then you'd have [00:09:23] to lay a lot of responsibility at the [00:09:25] feet of President Trump for bad things [00:09:27] that his followers have done in the past [00:09:29] and that's something I'm not willing to [00:09:30] do Vance in other words is very very [00:09:32] aggressive and because Vance is very [00:09:33] aggressive I think that's probably why [00:09:34] Trump picked him that's probably why [00:09:37] Trump picked him is because he's [00:09:38] incredibly aggressive and again he is a [00:09:39] VP candidate that's what VP candidates [00:09:41] are supposed to be he is a bulldog of [00:09:43] bulldogs and that is the thing more than [00:09:45] anything else that I think endeared him [00:09:47] to president Trump again his ideological [00:09:49] flexibility here is an asset it is not [00:09:51] in fact a a detriment I think to [00:09:53] president Trump remember JD Vance was [00:09:55] not a fan of President Trump back in [00:09:57] 2016 he's on the record saying lot of [00:09:59] things that were not particularly [00:10:00] praiseworthy of Donald Trump back in [00:10:01] 2016 now he has become an extremely [00:10:06] significant backer of President Trump [00:10:09] and I think again that is one of the [00:10:10] things that that so many people in Trump [00:10:12] World are very fond of he has a lot of [00:10:14] support among Donald Trump's immediate [00:10:15] circle obviously Donald Trump Jr is very [00:10:17] close with Senator Vance Kevin Roberts [00:10:20] at the Heritage Foundation is very close [00:10:21] with Senator Vance so he has a lot of [00:10:23] allies in high places as well he should [00:10:26] so it'll be fascinating to see if JD can [00:10:28] shift his his sort of image away from [00:10:31] from being the the hardnose bulldog and [00:10:35] tore something more unifying if in fact [00:10:36] that is what president Trump is seeking [00:10:38] to do as the campaign moves forward from [00:10:40] here on in it's a very confident pick by [00:10:42] President trump it is definitely not a [00:10:44] risk averse pick we'll put it that way [00:10:46] it's not a risk averse pick by President [00:10:47] trump it is not a safe pick by President [00:10:49] Trump it's an audacious pick by [00:10:51] President Trump for [00:10:53] sure now again we have some of the we [00:10:56] have some of the reactions from from [00:10:58] some of the other sort of political [00:11:00] figures in the ball game here Senator [00:11:03] Rubio put out a [00:11:04] tweet praising the [00:11:07] pick so Senator Rubio's tweet on the [00:11:11] pick was just Trump fans 2024 triple [00:11:13] exclamation point Rubio of course had [00:11:15] been up for [00:11:16] it but about 5 hours ago he humorously [00:11:19] tweeted it dismissed because it was he [00:11:21] was told that it wasn't him Chris rufo [00:11:23] who has been just an absolute asset to [00:11:25] the conservative movement a true fighter [00:11:27] in the movement a unique figure in the [00:11:28] conserv movement he is very celebratory [00:11:30] the pi he says congratulations to JD [00:11:32] Vance the best choice for vice president [00:11:33] JD adds dimensionality to Trump and can [00:11:35] help cultivate a counter Elite in Tech [00:11:37] Finance and law has already introduced a [00:11:39] legislation to abolish Dei and will make [00:11:41] the case with poise and Brilliance let's [00:11:43] go Ilan Omar for her part she had a a [00:11:47] quick reaction and anything ilhan Omar [00:11:49] hates is probably a good thing she says [00:11:52] this should be interesting and then [00:11:53] there's just a quote of past things that [00:11:55] that he has said about Trump in in past [00:11:57] texts JD had said that that Trump quote [00:11:59] unquote might be America's Hitler might [00:12:01] be a cynical a-hole cultural heroin [00:12:02] noxious and reprehensible but that's all [00:12:04] from 2016 and again you'd be hardpressed [00:12:06] to find a major Republican politician [00:12:08] who is up for VP who had not said things [00:12:10] about Donald Trump Circa 2016 so that's [00:12:13] nothing new there be ramaswami for his [00:12:15] part was very enthusiastic about The [00:12:16] Pick of Senator Vance one of the reasons [00:12:19] is there's some speculation that v may [00:12:20] actually want to fill the open seat that [00:12:22] has been left by Senator Vance I find it [00:12:24] hard to believe that Ohio Governor Mike [00:12:25] dwine is going to go along with that but [00:12:27] B of course is very enthusiastic about [00:12:29] the pick as [00:12:31] well Donald Trump Jr tweeted Biden is [00:12:34] stuck with the worst VP in the history [00:12:36] of our nation president Trump has one of [00:12:37] the most dynamic young leaders in the [00:12:38] country in JD Vans we also have [00:12:41] incredible Patriots like Governor berham [00:12:42] Senator Marco rubba and countless others [00:12:44] will work their tales off to get my [00:12:45] father elected this November our party [00:12:46] has never been more unified certainly [00:12:49] around Donald Trump that is true VI [00:12:52] ramaswami put out a tweet saying so [00:12:54] proud of my friend classmate and fellow [00:12:55] Southwest Ohio in today we used to watch [00:12:57] Bengals games at the b in law school [00:12:58] it's awesome we're here now a decade [00:13:00] later with JD joining the strongest [00:13:02] presidential ticket in our lifetime [00:13:03] he'll be an outstanding VP I look [00:13:05] forward to everything ahead for him and [00:13:06] for our [00:13:08] country and again I think a lot of [00:13:10] Republicans at this point are very much [00:13:11] looking forward to JD Vance debating KLA [00:13:13] Harris that that that that is going to [00:13:15] be it should just be an epic Beatdown I [00:13:17] mean JD is so much smarter than Harris [00:13:20] and so much more fastel and and fast on [00:13:23] his feet than than KLA Harris so again [00:13:27] very confident pick that's going to be [00:13:28] the big newsmaker from the convention [00:13:30] obviously now the fact that that the the [00:13:32] presidents of the United States went in [00:13:33] this direction is I think a shock to a [00:13:35] lot of people in the kind of [00:13:36] conventional Republican party who wanted [00:13:38] to see him go with Mike Pence but he it [00:13:39] really is more of a testament than [00:13:41] anything else to the unique appeal of [00:13:42] Donald Trump back in 2016 Donald Trump [00:13:44] picked Mike Pence because what he felt [00:13:46] about vice president Pence is that it [00:13:47] would help him Shore up his support in [00:13:49] Evangelical circles he knew that because [00:13:51] of his social issues moderation because [00:13:53] of his own sort of shall we say diverse [00:13:57] personal history that there were going [00:13:58] to be a of Evangelical Christians who [00:14:00] had a tough time with him Mike Pence was [00:14:01] meant to quiet those crowds and and he [00:14:04] effectively did that that pick was very [00:14:05] good for that this pick from Vans is not [00:14:09] likely to quiet any particular crowd [00:14:11] this pick from Vance is very likely to [00:14:13] open a a bunch of arguments on a bunch [00:14:16] of different sides but what Trump is [00:14:17] really saying here is that he's a big [00:14:18] enough figure that he can overcome all [00:14:21] of that and that that is a fascinating [00:14:23] thing this will be the most [00:14:24] controversial VP Pi probably since Sarah [00:14:26] Palin if you think of other VP picks his [00:14:29] Al [00:14:30] speaking then what you're looking at is [00:14:33] in terms of VP Pi since a 2000 Dick [00:14:35] Cheney not a particularly controversial [00:14:38] fellow at the time he'd been former [00:14:39] Secretary of Defense of course he was [00:14:42] somebody who's well established in [00:14:43] politics he's from a small state [00:14:46] Wyoming if you look at 2008 John McCain [00:14:50] that was the big most controversial pick [00:14:52] Sarah Palin out of left field and turned [00:14:54] out to be a rather disastrous pick for [00:14:56] John McCain my general view of vice [00:14:58] presidential picks that vice [00:14:59] presidential picks rarely win you [00:15:01] anything but they certainly can lose you [00:15:03] a lot so this is certainly a riskier [00:15:04] pick from a political point of view for [00:15:06] Donald Trump than some of these other [00:15:07] picks that were on the table it is also [00:15:09] just an element of Donald Trump's [00:15:11] unconventional confidence that that dude [00:15:13] is confident and frankly he should be [00:15:14] right now he is winning in every poll [00:15:16] right now he is winning in all the swing [00:15:17] states there is literally no reason why [00:15:19] he should not be confident at this point [00:15:21] okay I believe all those clips are now [00:15:22] in so let's go through some of what JD [00:15:24] has had to say historically speaking on [00:15:26] some of these issues so here is here is [00:15:29] JD talking about abortion this is a [00:15:30] little bit earlier again JD is a pro- [00:15:32] lifer but he is willing to be pragmatic [00:15:35] about his positions in order to help [00:15:37] Donald Trump which I think is one of the [00:15:38] appeals [00:15:39] here on the question of the abortion [00:15:41] pill what so many of us have said is [00:15:43] that look um we we certainly don't the [00:15:45] Supreme Court made a decision saying uh [00:15:48] that the American people should have [00:15:50] access to that medication Donald Trump [00:15:52] has supported that opinion I support [00:15:54] that opinion I think it's important to [00:15:56] say that we we actually have to have an [00:15:59] important conversation in this country [00:16:01] about what our abortion policy should be [00:16:04] uh Donald Trump is the pragmatic leader [00:16:06] here he's saying most abortion policy is [00:16:08] going to be decided by the states uh we [00:16:10] want to make it easier and more [00:16:11] affordable for young women and parents [00:16:12] to have families to begin with we want [00:16:14] to lower housing costs eliminate the [00:16:16] surprise medical bills that so many [00:16:18] families see after they have a baby [00:16:20] that's the Trump and Republican approach [00:16:22] to this issue meanwhile Joe Biden wants [00:16:24] taxpayer funded abortion up to the [00:16:26] moment of birth [00:16:29] again listen to how articulate JD is in [00:16:31] articulating what is a fairly unpopular [00:16:33] position with the right that is not a [00:16:34] full pro-life position that JD is [00:16:36] articulating that that is exactly what [00:16:37] Trump is going for he's much more [00:16:39] pragmatic on a lot of these issues than [00:16:40] maybe some of the other candidates who [00:16:42] were up for the position historically [00:16:44] speaking here was JD Vans who's being [00:16:47] incredibly militant about the attempts [00:16:48] to convict Donald Trump again this is [00:16:50] again another thing that that Donald [00:16:51] Trump is looking for he's looking for a [00:16:52] candidate who is going to be a bulldog [00:16:54] on his own [00:16:56] behalf well Kristen first of all you [00:16:58] said that it happens all the time that [00:17:00] the number three person in the [00:17:01] Department of Justice jumps ship to join [00:17:03] a local prosecutor's office to go after [00:17:05] the president's political opponent I [00:17:07] don't think that's ever happened in the [00:17:08] history of American democracy and I [00:17:10] don't think that we should legitimize it [00:17:12] now if Donald Trump's attorney general [00:17:15] had this his number two or his number [00:17:16] three jump ship to a local prosecutor's [00:17:18] office in Ohio or Wisconsin and that [00:17:21] person then went after Donald Trump's [00:17:22] political opposition that's a different [00:17:24] conversation all he's suggesting is that [00:17:27] we should investigate cred arguments of [00:17:29] wrongdoing that's all that Donald Trump [00:17:31] is saying that is not a threat to [00:17:33] democracy that's merely reinforcing our [00:17:35] system of law and [00:17:37] government so again he's very he's super [00:17:40] articul Dem man's a Yale law school [00:17:42] graduate he he was like on the Yale law [00:17:45] review this guy is very very he's the [00:17:47] editor of the Law Journal he is super [00:17:49] smart he is super duper smart and I [00:17:51] think that you know that combined with [00:17:52] his populism is definitely of appeal to [00:17:54] Trump he also has very strong Tech ties [00:17:57] obviously he's tied to Peter Thal who [00:17:58] was one of the major funders of his [00:17:59] original campaign and Peter has been a [00:18:02] big trunk backer really since the [00:18:03] beginning here is JD Vance on Ukraine [00:18:06] talking about the the sort of absurdity [00:18:08] of suggesting that Trump is pro [00:18:10] Russia the democrat's argument here is [00:18:12] so inconsistent with reality Russia took [00:18:14] ter territory under the Bush [00:18:16] Administration it took territory under [00:18:18] the Obama Administration it took [00:18:20] territory under the Biden Administration [00:18:22] it took zero territory under the Trump [00:18:24] administration because Vladimir Putin [00:18:27] actually respected Donald Trump and he [00:18:29] hasn't respected any of these other [00:18:31] clowns that's the most important thing [00:18:33] when it comes to Putin's aggression in [00:18:35] Europe and the Democrats arguments are [00:18:38] absurd so here's the thing about Vance [00:18:40] okay again I'm I'm pointing out his IQ [00:18:42] because IQ actually does matter in these [00:18:44] cases the big problem for Sarah Palin is [00:18:46] the minute that she was put on the [00:18:47] national stage she collapsed like a [00:18:49] house of cards she was asked questions [00:18:51] like what books do you read if you ask [00:18:53] JD Vance that question you will get a [00:18:55] library JD is a super super smart person [00:18:58] so even with he's articulating positions [00:19:00] that aren't necessarily polling amazing [00:19:02] he's going to articulate them as well as [00:19:04] anybody in the business here's JD Vance [00:19:06] on [00:19:07] NATO now on the question of NATO what [00:19:09] Trump has said very clearly is that [00:19:12] Europe has to step up America cannot be [00:19:15] the policeman of the world we want NATO [00:19:17] to be a strong Alliance we don't want [00:19:20] NATO countries to be welfare clients of [00:19:22] the United States if Vladimir Putin is a [00:19:25] significant threat to Europe then the [00:19:27] Germans have to step up the French have [00:19:29] to step up they need to do more for [00:19:31] their own security and I think that [00:19:33] argument actually lands not just with a [00:19:36] lot of Americans but with a lot of [00:19:38] Europeans they are not our clients we [00:19:40] want NATO to be a strong Alliance but [00:19:42] for that to be the case the Europeans [00:19:44] have got to step [00:19:47] up again excellent representative of the [00:19:50] Donald Trump perspective on all of that [00:19:53] and you know unless unless people [00:19:55] believe that he's like a full- scale [00:19:56] isolationist he's not actually a full- [00:19:57] scale isolationist that's being EXA [00:19:58] aerated by some of the media he's [00:20:00] certainly more isolationist realist than [00:20:03] many of the Republicans who are [00:20:04] possibilities certainly than somebody [00:20:06] like a Niki Haley but he's not a [00:20:08] full-scale isolationist here he was from [00:20:10] May talking about the big failure of the [00:20:12] Biden Administration in the Middle East [00:20:14] being its failure to continue the work [00:20:16] done by President Trump in bringing [00:20:17] together the Middle East around a Sunni [00:20:19] Jewish alliance against Shia islamism in [00:20:23] Iran here he was talking about Israel [00:20:25] finishing the job with [00:20:26] Kamas the final Point here and I think [00:20:28] it's very important our goal in the [00:20:31] Middle East should be to allow the [00:20:33] Israelis to get to some good place with [00:20:36] the Saudi Arabians and other Gulf Arab [00:20:38] states there is no way that we can do [00:20:41] that unless the Israelis finish the job [00:20:43] with Hamas if they can't even do that [00:20:46] the attitude of the Middle East will be [00:20:47] you can't trust these guys they're not [00:20:49] pursuing their own National Security so [00:20:51] we've got to let them finish this job [00:20:53] and I think hopefully on the other end [00:20:55] of it get to a new era in the Middle [00:20:56] East [00:20:59] okay now again the angles are open on [00:21:02] Vance in a way they would not have been [00:21:03] on a popular purple State Governor like [00:21:05] a Glenn yunan again from strategic point [00:21:07] of view I think that Glen yunin would [00:21:08] have been a smarter pick than JD vans [00:21:10] from a purely Donald Trump doesn't give [00:21:12] an f and he is ready and raring to go [00:21:14] and he is going to secure his legacy by [00:21:15] putting in place a very young very [00:21:17] charismatic vice president who is super [00:21:19] capable then Vance does that and I've [00:21:23] said it multiple times here this is a [00:21:24] confident pick just descriptively [00:21:25] speaking it's a very very confident pick [00:21:27] by President Trump it is not a risk- [00:21:29] averse pick it is not an attempt to sort [00:21:31] of broaden out and win states that he [00:21:32] has never won before it's an attempt to [00:21:34] win the states he's won before and maybe [00:21:36] pick up [00:21:37] Nevada now he might pick up more States [00:21:39] than that anyway just because Joe Biden [00:21:40] is such an awful awful candidate but you [00:21:42] can see the angles opening up already so [00:21:44] Joe Biden immediately tweeted out here's [00:21:45] the thing about JD Vans he talks a big [00:21:47] game about working people but now he and [00:21:48] Trump want to raise taxes on middle- [00:21:50] class families while pushing more tax [00:21:51] cuts for the rich I don't intend to let [00:21:53] them if you're with me pitch in by the [00:21:54] way I'm Amazed by Biden's angle on that [00:21:57] like if he thinks he's going to go after [00:21:58] JD Vans as two rightwing on Industrial [00:22:01] policy I mean good luck that's going to [00:22:04] that that that is a bizarre move by Joe [00:22:06] Biden but you'll see them kind of try [00:22:08] and move and stick around try try to [00:22:10] figure out exactly what is the sort of [00:22:13] best way to attack JD Vance and again [00:22:16] because JD has been in the news so much [00:22:18] there is a lot more possibility of them [00:22:20] finding something but I'm not sure that [00:22:22] Donald Trump cares I think what Donald [00:22:23] Trump feels right now is that he is [00:22:25] winning a race that he is that that [00:22:28] there is really no reason for him to shy [00:22:29] away from his own positions or pick a VP [00:22:32] I think one of the things that's first [00:22:33] and foremost in his mind is his belief [00:22:35] that Mike Pence was not sufficiently [00:22:36] stalwart in his favor after November 6th [00:22:39] in the last election cycle now what he's [00:22:41] figuring is he needs somebody who is [00:22:43] going to be by his side all the way and [00:22:45] so that sort of trust in JD Vance can't [00:22:46] be undone I think that's really what [00:22:49] this tick this pick more than anything [00:22:51] else is about I mean there have been [00:22:52] some theories out there that maybe he's [00:22:54] putting JD Vance in place as [00:22:55] assassination insurance that that if [00:22:57] there are forces that hate Donald Trump [00:22:58] so much they want to kill him they don't [00:23:00] want to kill him and got JD Vans who is [00:23:01] even more trumpy positionally than than [00:23:04] Donald Trump is sometimes whatever the [00:23:07] rationale it's an audacious it's a bull [00:23:08] pick it is a whole new generation in [00:23:10] American politics jie Vance the things [00:23:13] about him that you cannot doubt are his [00:23:14] articulateness you cannot doubt his IQ [00:23:16] you cannot doubt his ability to fight [00:23:18] you cannot doubt that he is a [00:23:20] bulldog so it's a bold pick and all [00:23:23] that's left now is to see how that works [00:23:25] out obviously will be introduced to JD [00:23:27] vans on a national level those of us who [00:23:29] don't watch it super closely will be [00:23:30] introduced to JD Vance on a national [00:23:32] level come Wednesday night when he gives [00:23:33] the keynote address as the Vice [00:23:35] Presidential nominee of the Republican [00:23:37] Party the ticket is now set and we now [00:23:39] turn our attention toward making the [00:23:40] case why Republican ideas are the best [00:23:42] for the future of the country ideas that [00:23:44] will lead to the election of trump Vance [00:23:46] in November and make it Donald Trump [00:23:47] once again the 47th president of the [00:23:49] United States
