So we 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.840 were in the Washington Swamp yesterday and I had a 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.960 lot of time with the Vice President jd Vance. Part 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:17.360 two will air tonight on Hannity. It has gone viral 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.239 in so many different aspects, just different questions that I 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.160 asked him that I guess people are very interested in. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.880 On the least of which was when I said, mister 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.520 Vice President, what have you learned from President Trump talking 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.080 about twenty twenty eight talking about his relationship with Marco Rubio. 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.360 He said, nobody should think they're entitled to be the 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.159 heir apparent to Donald Trump. And I body gave very 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.559 good answers on this, but let's go to this interview. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.640 Part two will air tonight nine Eastern on Fox, also 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.320 RFK Junior and Doctor Oz Tonight, Mis Vice President, great 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:49.760 to see. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.800 Holl you welcome, good, appreciate how you doing it. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.040 And thanks for sitting out. Well, I guess we start 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.840 with a little good news. Yeah, government is open, that's right, Okay, 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.160 longest shutdown in history. Can you tell me what the 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.320 point of all that was I. 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.600 Wish that I knew, Sean, because here's what the Democrats 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.160 actually accomplished. They caused a lot of stress for our troops. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.520 They made our traffic controllers. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:11.640 Not get paid. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.840 They caused a lot of flight cancelations. They had a 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.760 lot of people thinking they weren't going to get their 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:20.000 food benefits, all for literally nothing, Sean, because we could 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.479 have struck this exact deal forty five days ago. In fact, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.920 we met with Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer and said 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.200 we will pass this exact deal. 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.319 They said no. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.720 They put the American people through a ton of pain 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.920 and suffering for nothing. And we knew this was going 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.800 to happen, Sean. We knew the President of the United 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.920 States said every single day. Eventually the Democrats are going 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.840 to realize this is an absurd position. We've got to 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:43.720 reopen the government. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:44.720 And that's what they did. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.000 As bad as it was getting, I'm trying to comprehend 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.720 the thinking behind this. Except for eight Democrats in the 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.800 Senate and six in the House, they wanted it to continue, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.960 and there's real palpable anger that it didn't con I 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.640 think Chuck Schumer's cooked as a result, even though he 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.240 did everything that is base on it. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:06.760 Yeah, so let me say a couple of things. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.239 First of all, I do give a lot of credit 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.880 for the moderate Democrats in the Senate. 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.520 Who were with us from the very beginning, because if. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.040 You remember the original bill to keep the government open, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.040 before the shutdown even started, there were fifty two GOP 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.720 senators three Democratic senators. They recognized where this was going, 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.800 they recognized what was in the best inte of the country. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.440 But I think, Sean, there are so many far left 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.840 people who run the Democratic Party Washington, d C. They 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.760 just want to burn it down. They don't care if 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.640 the troops don't get paid. They don't care if you 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.240 cost billions of dollars of loss productivity. They don't care 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.480 if you shut down the airline industry, which they were 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.320 very close close to doing. They just want to get Trump, 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.760 and they don't care if they have to burn the 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.880 entire country down in order to get Trump. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:47.560 That's what they want to do. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.360 And I think that it shows how stupid that approaches politically, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.760 because normally you would expect the president of the United 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.440 States to get blamed for a shutdown. The American people 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.640 were smart enough to recognize that the Democrat were the 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.280 ones who were sort of holding this hostage. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.880 They were saying that unless you. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.880 Give us everything that we want, unless you give us 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.480 one point five trillion dollars of benefits healthcare for illegal aliens, 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.880 we're going to destroy the country. 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.280 We're going to keep the government shut down. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.320 And definitely, I think the President recognized eventually the American 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.480 people are going to recognize this is the Democrats doing this. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.880 The Democrats, I think, made. 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.240 A huge political mistake by continuing to push for all 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.959 of these crazy things, and they said, if you don't 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.240 give all these crazy things, we're going to keep the 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.519 government shut down. It was politically stupid, but you're right. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.360 I don't understand the psychology of a Democrat who says 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.880 we'd like to burn the country down in order to 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.080 get Donald Trump. But unfortunately, it just drives home that's 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.120 what their party is about. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:44.839 That was the thing. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:49.040 One point five trillion, hundreds of billions of dollars for 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:54.280 health care for illegals, DEI programs are broad MPR PBS 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.880 to fund them once. 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.320 Again, and that's the hell you want to die on. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.440 During the process that any point did any Democrat any leader. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:08.800 Did you have conversations with them, say work. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:07.920 This out with me. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.240 Did that happen behind the scenes that nobody knows about. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.960 Oh, of course, privately, we were having conversations all the time. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.599 And frankly, privately the Democrats would recognize the position of 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.960 their far left was crazy. But they all feel a 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.839 little bit like they're being held hostage by their far left. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.880 You said it very well, Chuck Schumer. This probably ended 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.600 his career, and he was the person who was fighting 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.359 more than anybody to keep the government shut down. So 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.200 the far left, they're never going to be satisfied unless 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.520 the Democrats are willing to burn down the entire country. Luckily, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.440 there were a few moderate Democrats who allowed reason to prevail. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.880 We have to step back and sewan and remember how 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:48.120 crazy the demands were. They wanted one point five trillion dollars, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.400 a lot of that healthcare benefits for illegal aliens. They 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.640 wanted us to undo all of the great border policy. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:54.960 That we've been doing. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.200 They wanted us to refund like you said, MPR and PBS, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.679 they were basically saying that we want the far left's 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.080 priorities to dominate in the Trump administration. And unless that happens, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.600 we're going to set the entire country on fire. A 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.240 really disgraceful moment for the far left of the Democrats, 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.719 and frankly, a very revealing moment for the American people 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.120 because they asked in Shawn. They weren't saying that we 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.599 want to do great things for the American people. They 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.520 weren't talking about jobs, they weren't talking about healthcare. They 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.680 were talking about give us one point five trillion dollars 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.000 for healthcare benefits for illegal aliens, and less you do that, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.880 we're going to make it impossible for you to fly 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.280 home to see your family on Thanksgiving. It's just craziness 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.640 that that was ever their position, but it was. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.120 When we get it back up and running fast, you. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.600 Know, it's going to take a little bit of time 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.680 to get everything fully up and running. They actually brought 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.080 the bill over to my house last night around nine 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.640 o'clock to sign. 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.160 It, because as the President of the Senate I had 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.160 to sign it for the Senate. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.279 Mike Johnson signed it for the House, and then of 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.960 course the President of United States had to sign it 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:55.440 into law. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.640 Were eating bills from conversus basically, I mean the earleamentarian, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.400 the Senate parliamentarian was driving around in an ure, going 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.120 from place to place to get this thing signed. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.599 But I actually I had this conversation with the President 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.039 yesterday afternoon. I said, assuming the House is able to 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.719 get this done, do you want to sign this tomorrow morning? 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.760 He said, no, I want to sign it tonight because 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.480 the only way to get the people's government turned back 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.719 on as quickly as possible was to sign the bill 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.159 as quickly as possible. But you know it goes to 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.440 show the entire time the President, the entire administration, we 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.520 were focused on getting the government turned back on, getting 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.480 critical services actually funded so the government could function for 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.760 the American people. That Democrats were focused on. We want 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.800 to take you hostage. We want to make it hard 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.719 for you to get home to see your family on 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.160 Thanksgiving so that we can give your health care benefits 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.320 to illegal aliens. What an incredible juxtaposition of priorities. We 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.960 care about Americans, they care about illegal aliens. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.320 That's been true for years. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.360 They made it super clear with this government shutdown fight. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.080 Let's talk about Obviously, the economy is always front and 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:04.760 center for most American would argue that foundationally everything set 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.360 trillions and dollars of committed moneyes for manufacturing largest tax. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.080 Cuts in history. It took a long quite a. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.960 While, over a year and a half for the Reagan 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.600 tax cuts to kick in. Ended up with twenty one 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.560 million new jobs, longest period peacetime economic growth. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:20.880 President Trump now has. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.960 Given us the largest tax cut in history, no tax tips, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.120 social Security over time, then you add the energy component. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:34.400 So for people now that maybe are still suffering from 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:40.840 the Biden Harris economic hangover, when do we really see 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.560 the engine of the economy start to take off. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.720 Well, some of it's already started on, but some of 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.000 it is going to take a long time because we 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.040 inherited a disaster. We inherited the highest peacetime debt and 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.560 deficits in the history of the United States of America. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.160 We inherited the worst inflation crisis in at least the 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.600 last forty years and I. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.480 Think probably longer. So a lot of Americans when we 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.280 took over, they were struggling. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.840 They either were underemployed or they didn't have a job altogether. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.240 Their wages had been stagnant. And the President of the 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.480 United States said, the most important thing that we have 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.400 to fix is for people to be able to live 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:15.000 a good life. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.840 We need a good job to pay good wages. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.160 We need people to be able to go to the 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.040 grocery store and actually buy what they need for their family. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.160 That takes a little bit of time. And I know 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:26.880 that there are a lot of people out there, Sean 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.200 who are saying things are expensive, and we have to 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.760 remember they're expensive because we inherited this terrible inflation crisis 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.400 from the Biden administration. But you've already seen signs that 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.440 things are getting better. The price of eggs has gone 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.600 way down. The price of energy has gone way down, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.480 the price of gasoline has gone way down. And as 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.719 we know, when the price of energy goes down, that 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.160 starts to filter out into the entire economy. But that 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.960 also takes a little bit of time. There's another component 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.200 of this, Sean, which to me is maybe the most important, 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.560 because I care so much about our young people being 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.400 able to afford a good life. A lot of young 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.040 people are saying housing is way too expensive. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.120 Why is that? 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.479 Because we flooded the country with thirty million illegal immigrants 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.920 who were taking houses that ought by right go to 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.760 American citizens, And at the same time, we weren't building 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.079 enough new houses to begin with, even for the population 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.720 that we had. So what we're doing is trying to 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.200 make it easier to build houses, trying to make it 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.400 easier to build factories and things like that so. 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:28.560 That people have good jobs. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.560 We're also getting all of those illegal aliens out of 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.560 our country, and you're already seeing it start to pay 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.400 some dividends. Let me give you a very clear statistical example. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.280 Under the Biden administration, the price of a new home 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:41.680 literally doubled. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.320 In four years. It went up one hundred percent. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.440 Under the Trump administration, housing and rent prices are up 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.480 about one to two percent. That's actually in line with 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.439 what you would like to see. So again, we inherited 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.920 a disaster. We're very mindful of the fact that there's 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.640 a lot of work to do, but I think that 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:58.840 we've made great progress. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.719 And the final point I'll make about that, Sean, is. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.280 The most important way to fix this affordability crisis is 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.040 to make people's wages go up. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.640 And that is where the Trump economy. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.960 I think, just objectively, obviously I'm very biased, but I 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.400 think objectively. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.880 Is doing better than any economy in fifty or sixty years. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.480 Blue collar wages are going up. Working people's wages, middle 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.480 class wages. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:20.800 Are going up. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.920 And that's how we ultimately chip away at the Biden 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.160 affordability crisis, is that we make an economy where people 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.199 can afford to buy the things that they need. The 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.600 best way to do that is good jobs and good wages, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.920 and that's why the president's focus is where it is. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.000 I want to see that manufacturing get online because those 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.400 are high paying career jobs. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.520 They are you know, we are going to bring in house. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:48.000 We always imported, and we're relying on other countries for pharmaceuticals, semiconducted, chips, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.400 automobile manufacturing. The President negotiated out those deals. I want 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.400 to see those jobs get online, hopefully sooner rather than later. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.119 It's right, Apple is going to spend. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.840 What five hundred billion dollars in Texas. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.920 They're going to spend at least five hundred million dollars 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.840 in the United States, and that's just Apple. We've seen 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.240 about eighteen trillion dollars of new capital commitment Sewan. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.800 That's to your point, those are good. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.600 That's whenever you're creating jobs, and nothing like that has 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.240 ever happened in this country. If you go back to 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.360 the Biden administration, a good year for the Biden administration 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.520 was a few hundred billion dollars of investments. The president 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.840 is getting trillions upon trillions of new investments. Now, of course, 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.560 I'm mindful that people were suffering Sean because those factories 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.920 don't get built overnight. These things actually take a little 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:31.480 bit of time. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.079 But here's what's different from the Trump administration than Biden administration. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.040 The President is focused now. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.520 On getting people good jobs, getting people higher wages, and 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.960 bringing down the cost of goods. We inherited a disaster. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.440 We've chipped away at a lot of that problem in 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.280 ten months. But that's why you've got four year terms, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.560 because we're going to do a lot over the next 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.000 three years three months to make sure that more people 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.520 can afford a good life. They can afford to buy homes, 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.720 young people can afford to start families, and we've actually 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.000 got good jobs that put people on a career trajectory 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.800 into stability. The biggest problem with the Biden economy wasn't 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.760 even the affordability. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.280 That was the second biggest problem. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.040 The biggest problem with Biden economy is that people had 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:12.559 the kind of. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.560 Jobs where they couldn't build a career out of it. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.600 They'd make fourteen fifteen dollars an hour with no promise 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.880 of ever being able to make more. That is not 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.400 how you build a middle class American dream. That's how 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.080 you build debt servants. And that's what the American people 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.240 were becoming under Joe Biden. It's so important that we 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.600 stay the course, keep these economic policies going so that 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.120 Americans can own a stake in their own future, build. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.160 The kind of life that every American deserves. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.480 Back to the home building part, it's interesting you wrote 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.280 it a by you was obsessed. 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.560 With AI as I am. I am okay, I don't know. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:50.760 I'm a grock guy. I'm a grock guy, grock GUYE okay, elon. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.439 I think it's the best. I think it's the best. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.880 It's also the least woke. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.240 I'm always asking myself if I ask an AI a question, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.480 is going to give me an ejectivevice throves it and 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:01.680 puts it an extreme mode? 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.080 Answer? 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.200 Have you put it in an extreme mode just for 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.040 kicks and giggles? 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.000 It's a little oh if I have not? So on, 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:09.920 I don't want the media to. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.520 Do you want to know, the neighborhood that Donald Trump 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.640 grew up in, and the kind of language you probably 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:15.400 heard every day. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.439 You put it in extreme mode, it's pretty funny. I 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.200 could to all tuck like my grandmother and then yeah, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.360 we'd be in shape. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.280 Okay, So the housing shortage, the estimate is what between 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.400 four and a half and six million homes were shy 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:27.920 right now? 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.360 For those numbers, yep, Okay. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.000 I met a guy that's building a company that seventy 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.800 percent of a home can be built with robots at 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.320 about two hundred dollars a square foot. Now, where I 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.720 live in Florida, you're not getting any home anywhere near 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.400 two hundred dollars a square foot. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.040 So will that be a factor? And then you have 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.920 to think of, Okay, we're going to lose blue collar jobs. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.760 How do we transition people into the economy if they're 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:00.800 going to lose those jobs. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.600 Yeah, So a few things about that, Sean. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.840 First, we probably need to build about five million new homes, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.520 and if you look at the Red States, we're actually 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.720 doing a very good job. One of the biggest challenges 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.640 that we have in the housing market, aside from too 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.080 many illegal aliens who are taking the houses, of American 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.400 citizens is that in the Blue states, you're not. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:18.360 Building enough houses. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.640 So you go to California, why are so many people 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:21.920 moving out of California? 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.680 It's you know, yes, I have a guess, there's no 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.560 no wa. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.120 Your friend gavenusm yeah, my friend gavenusum any. I mean 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.760 maybe if they put water in fire hydrants and reservoirs. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.320 That might help, right, but they're not building houses. You 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.840 look at those terrible fires that happened to Los Angeles. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:39.880 You have people who are still trying to get the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.960 permitting to rebuild their houses. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.600 This happens so long ago. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.040 So we've got to get our blue states to build 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.920 enough houses for their citizens because our red states in 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.440 the federal government is actually doing. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.360 A really good job. By the way. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.600 You know, the one of the biggest cities where you're 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.360 seeing housing costs come down Austin, Texas, because they're choosing 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.240 smart policies and they're building enough housing. Now on the 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.280 AI issue, look, I understand why people are worried that. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.440 You know, if you have a robot doing that job, 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.720 does a takeaway from a blue collar worker who. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:09.440 Can do that job. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.200 Right now, the evidence that I see is that if 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.520 we really lean into robotics and technology. It's going to 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.320 raise everybody's wages and make everybody better off. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.080 All Right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. We'll 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.080 continue more of my interview with the Vice President well 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.200 part two tonight on Hannity nine Eastern on Fox, also 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:37.520 RFK Junior and Doctor Oz together broadcasting coast to coast, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.920 order to mortar, and all over America. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.200 This is the show Hannity Show. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.200 All right, let's get back to my interview with the 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.960 Vice President JD. Vans from last night. Part two of 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.400 that interview will air tonight. Also, I had time to 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.480 sit down with Robert F. Kennedy Junior and also with 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.520 doctor Oz. Will air that tonight as well. And the 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.240 other news of the day. We have time for it 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.440 all nineties to incite a DVR on Fox. It's gone 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.120 pretty viral to this interview. But let me play part two. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:18.680 Of it for you. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.200 It's actually amazing because you'll see them. They'll do the framing, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.280 they'll put on the siding. They'll actually a robot will 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:25.920 put on the roof. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.640 It's kind of crazy. It is crazy. They'll wire the. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.400 House, they put an insulation, they'll put up the wallboard, 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.680 they'll paint the wallboard, and then the finished work in 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.240 comes the craftsman. I'm not so sure that the AI 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:38.840 is going to be able to do that, at least 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.560 in the short term, but it wouldn't surprise me. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.880 I think a lot of the craftsmanship, a lot of 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.760 the direction, a lot of the management, you're going to 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.240 need a human being to do that. Nobody can replace. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:51.320 No robot can replace a great blue collar construction worker. 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.000 You know, you see some of the houses, some of 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.120 the things they do, the trim that they're able to do. 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.040 There's an art there that I don't think a robot's 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.960 ever going to be able to replace. But robot maybe 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.680 make it easier for a construction worker to put more 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.600 nails and more walls over a shorter period. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.760 Of time some of the road things. In other words, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:09.520 you're going to see. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.600 I think robotics help the construction workers, and I think 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.080 that's going to lead to higher wages. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.040 And it's also going to lead to more homes. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.840 Firms are will love it and think a build the 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.560 one big beautiful ballroom faster. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.160 The robot could do it faster. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.880 I think he'd hire the robot because I know that's 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:23.959 obviously important. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.640 Well, but this is an interesting point, though, Sean, because 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.440 if you go back to it to you know, there 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.520 really are, I think, two different models of how you 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.760 make people more productive, of how you create economic growth, 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.720 of how you make people better off. The Democrat model 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.880 was import low wage immigrants, and I really do think 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.920 that hurt the jobs of our construction workers, that hurt 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.280 the wages of a lot of our blue collar workers. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.800 But their idea was the way that we get more 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.320 prosperity is that you import more and more low wage servants, 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.840 and that actually, I think reduced prosperity because it meant 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.960
