And but first I want to 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.200 go to my interview. I did fly to Washington earlier 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.720 this week. I sat with the Vice President J. D. 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:27.080 Vance for a long and very frankly comprehensive interview. And 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.040 here is some of that interview. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.440 It's the Vice President, great to see you, good morning, 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.520 thank you for ast of all congratulations. All right, has 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.800 it sunk in yet? Hillbilly Elogy? 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:38.400 Yep? 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.400 Now the Vice President of the United States of America. 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.680 Yeah, it's kind of crazy. You know, it hasn't sunk in. 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.480 And you know, I joke that I took two wrong 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.240 turns and I ended up, you know, a hall way 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.560 down from the Oval Office. And it's just an incredible thing. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.519 You know, the first time I'd have actually been to 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.200 the Oval Office was with President Trump as his vice 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:57.360 president last Tuesday. 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.000 Had never been to the Oval Office. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.240 Wow. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.360 And you know he always talks. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.560 About you know, you have these executives Warren Heead's estate. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.560 The Oval office just has a particular power and. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.160 I certainly felt it, and it was just amazing to 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.360 stand in that room. And I remember at the time 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.840 thinking I wish that I had something profound to say, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.640 and I just stood in there saying, Wow, this is crazy. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.160 No, I had the same experience when I went in. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.640 President Bush was in office at the time, and I 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.080 remember I thought it was surreal. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.480 I was like, is that really him? 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.559 And it is a special place. And then of course 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.240 Trump has this little red button which next to him, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.200 which is not the red button, which he screwed with me. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.800 About that actually, so he were just mid conversation, I 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.440 think we were with Senator Thune and Speaker Johnson, and 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.280 he has this sort of beautiful ornate wooden box on 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.640 his desk with a red button and he presses it 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.560 and he just kind of looks over at me and 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.280 I'm like, sir, is that it's something bad? 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.440 And He's like, no, I just ordered a diet coke. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.160 Literally, I read button. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.840 And it comes running in. Then I'll ask you would 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:03.280 you like one? 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:04.160 Yeah, exactly. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.359 I've known President Trump for over thirty years. Sure, I've 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.040 had a close relationship with him in all those years, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.120 and he and I when he was going to run 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.040 thinking about running, we had arguments for hours deep into 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.800 the night about I said, I'm not voting for you 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.440 if you're not a conservative. You really are now getting 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.839 to know him very well, Sure, what have you learned 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:25.360 about him? 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:26.760 Well, it's interesting. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:27.919 One. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.040 I've learned that he has the most interesting decision making 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.440 process of any person. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.080 I've ever met. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.400 And I think it's what makes him such an effective leader, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.240 is that when he actually is thinking about doing something, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.640 he doesn't just ask like you know, his closest advisor 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.959 or some policy person. You know it's gonna affect a business, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.120 He'll call the business to CEO, so he'll go and 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.480 try to talk to the workers. He tries to take 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.919 inputs from everywhere, and I think it's one of the 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.200 reasons why he's so in tune with where the American 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.240 people actually are. 0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.160 But it's also I. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:00.600 Think one of the genius is of the way that 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.919 he makes decisions is that he actually tries to talk 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.400 to everybody. And that's something Honestly, I could write a 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.800 book just about the way that he gathers information from 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.960 all sources, and it's very unusual. I mean, Washington, most politicians, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.160 you know, they'll if it's a national security issue, they'll 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.560 talk to their national security person and maybe you know, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.799 somebody else in their office. If it's a business issue, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.200 maybe they'll talk to a CEO. The President talks to everybody. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.880 And that's a very, very profound thing about the way 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.480 that he actually operates in Washington. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.040 I would describe him as a force of nature, and 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.360 there's nobody else like him. Yes, and I think in 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.720 many ways he's misunderstood as well, because I know the 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.720 personal side of him, and I know the business side 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:44.800 of him. And as we've seen hundreds and hundreds of 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.640 executive actions, and you've been here very a little over 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.120 a week now, yeah, pretty well, speed a light, it's 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:51.720 speed of light. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.640 You know, we've i think, accomplished honestly, more in eight 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.040 days than the entire Biden administration accomplished in four years. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.760 And of course the things that we're accomplishing are actually 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.440 good things, and the things they were accomplishing or mostly 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:03.040 bad things. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.120 But the president has incredible energy. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.240 I mean, this is something you hear other people say 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.440 about him, and it's hard to really appreciate it until 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.000 you're up close and personal. I don't know how much 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.000 he sleeps, or if he ever really sleeps. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.800 I mean, you'll get phone calls from him. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.520 I can answer that he doesn't sleep a lot. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.200 You'll get phone calls at one in the morning, and. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.120 He'll just you know, he'll talk about policy, and he'll 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.240 talk about your family, and he just there's something incredibly 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:29.440 energetic about him. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.560 But you sort of need that. Actually, the federal government. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.320 Has become so sprawling and the bureaucracy is so unresponsive 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.920 to what the president actually wants to do that you 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.440 kind of need somebody in there who's constantly on. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.200 It's all gas, no breaks. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080 That's certainly what we've seen the last you know, eight days. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.799 I think it's what we'll see for the next four years. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.599 You know, when when you look at, for example, the 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:55.240 two biggest issues in this campaign, immigration and the economy. Sure, 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.080 and because that's impacting the people in Ohio of course, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.880 right yeah, packed in their life hard and a lot 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.240 of mats. I've been really hurt. It was a study 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.120 that came out like fifty six percent of Americans can't 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.400 withstand a thousand dollars emergency. Sure, you know it would 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.080 be devastating for them. That scares me. I've been there, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.080 I've lived there. I know you've been there. Of course, 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.279 not fun, not where you want to. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.160 Be, not fun. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:21.440 Law. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.840 And when I think of, you know, the issue of 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.960 immigration in particular, I'm looking at we have known terrorists 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.839 in this country. We have known cartel members, known gang members, 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:43.240 we have known murderers, rapists, And I'm watching the reaction 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.200 of the left and the left wing media and the Democrats, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.039 and you know, we're back to Nazi fascists, Hitler, Stall 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.839 and Mussolini. And I'm like, what part of these other 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:54.760 people you're missing? 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.799 No, it's it's totally crazy, Sean. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:58.400 And if you look, you know, there was the guy 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.520 who went viral if you days ago that we deported 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.479 seventeen violent criminal convictions and was actually saying the guy 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.279 from Ady, he was saying, I hate Trump, I love 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.640 Biden because Biden wanted me to stay in this country. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.919 Is there a better endorsement of Donald J. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.560 Trump that a violent criminal who shouldn't be in this 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.920 country doesn't like him? Because Donald Trump is actually enforcing 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.479 the immigration laws of this country. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.480 And it's everywhere Sean. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.919 It affects everybody from all walks of life. It's the 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.680 drug epidemic, it's the crime, it's the fact that if 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.240 you live along the southern border, you're affected by this 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.160 cartel activity. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:34.200 We've seen, Sean. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.240 Just in the last couple of days, multiple cartel members 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.359 have fired at our own border patrol, And you ask yourself, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.320 why wasn't that happening a couple of years ago, Because 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.480 they weren't empowered to do their job. The border has 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.480 become so lawless that we're actually engaging in military style 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.479 engagements just to regain control of our southern border. And 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.480 thank god we're actually doing it this time, because if 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.640 we had another four years of Biden and the Democrats 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.160 wide open southern border, it would permanently and I think, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.000 irreparably transform this country. So, yeah, we're doing immigration enforcement 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.320 in a big way. We're also doing things to lower 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.440 the cost of energy, because of course, if we can 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.800 lower the cost of energy, we're going to make food 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.840 and housing, groceries, everything else more affordable for American citizens. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.600 And that really is you're exactly right, That is that 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.520 the two prongs of the Trump agenda. We want to 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.160 create more prosperity, and we want to create more security 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.760 and we're doing a lot We're going to do a 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:29.200 lot more. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.400 I want to ask about the economy in a second. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.720 But we saw Tom Holman. I mean, I don't think 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.200 there's anyone talk about a force of nature. I've tried 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.440 to make them smile. I've had no luck. If you 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.360 pull that off, that would be a miracle. But I've 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.600 known him a long time. I have a great admiration for. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:47.320 Him, me too. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:52.280 And almost ten thousand deportations and some of the toughest criminals. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.720 Christinome out on that ice rate in New York yesterday. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.360 She was on TV with us last night. Amazing ten 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.200 thousand in a week. The president looked for what eighteen 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.320 hundred a day, right, And you know that's a pretty 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:06.080 ambitious goal. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.680 It's ambitious, but you need a leader who sets ambitious 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.240 goals and actually holds people to meeting those goals. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.240 If you think we've got twenty plus. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.800 Million illegal aliens in this country, we have got to 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.160 get these people out of our country and regain control 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.960 of our own border. And it's not just the people 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.000 that were deporting. If you look at the number of 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.080 illegal entries on January the nineteenth, the last day of 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.960 the Democrats administration, I believe the number was north of 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:35.160 thirteen hundred illegal entries. Five days later, we had already 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.600 cut that by more than sixty percent, and I guarantee 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.760 we're going to cut it even further. It policy matters, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:46.080 Elections have consequences, and President Trump ran explicitly on regaining 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.400 control of the border and redelivering American prosperity. That's exactly 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.760 what we're doing. And it is funny sean to hear 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.400 the media and the Democrats how about this and say, well, 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.720 you know this is bad, this is terrible. You know, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.959 this is like you said, fast just nazi blah blah 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.280 blah blah blah. The President promised the American people he 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:05.320 was going to do this. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.160 They gave him a mandate, so now he's doing it. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.920 That's how democratic politics in this country works, and thank 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:11.320 god for that. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.319 If I was in your position or President Trump's position, 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.160 and I never will be, let's be clear, but if 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.720 I was, I think what would keep me up at 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.840 night is the fact that we have known terrorists in 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.000 the country, and we have murderers in the country, and 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.959 rapists and violent criminals, cartels, and gang members that I said, 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.480 I'm married about an attack on the homeland. Mister Vice President, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:35.280 how worried are you? 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.360 Well, look, I am worried, Sean, because we were given 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.240 a country with hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe more of known 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.800 terrorists that are in the United States of America thanks 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.520 to the open borders of the last administration. So it's 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.600 our job to worry about it so that hopefully we 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.439 can prevent that attack. So it's something that does keep 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.320 us up at night. It's something that the government is 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.400 working on very aggressively. We've got great intelligence services, we've 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.839 got great border enforcement. We're trying to identify the bad 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.680 guys and get them out of our country. Because look, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.560 what you don't want to have happened, Sean, is let's 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.440 say we take a foreign policy action that some foreign 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.880 terrorist organization doesn't like. Well, now these guys they're not 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.760 in Syria or some foreign country. They're in our backyards, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.120 they're in our cities. We have to get them out 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760 to make the homeland safer, but also to empower the 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.559 president to do the things that he needs to do 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.840 when it comes to national security. So it does worry me, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.120 but we also have a government that's actually tackling this issue. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.840 It's getting better every single day. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.880 How do we find them? I mean, you have known terrorists, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.840 but you don't know where they are. Non cartel members, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.040 but you don't know where they are. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.160 Well, it's crazy, Sean. Sometimes you're right, we don't know 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.000 where they are. Sometimes we actually do. And that's one 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.160 of the craziest things of the last week. Just for me, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.440 you ask what is shocking to me, It's that many 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.960 of these violent criminals, we knew their addresses, we knew 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.040 their names. We just needed to send somebody, got to 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.679 go to their house and get them the hell out 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.000 of there. That really should shock the American people. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.319 We've known where they are exactly exactly, and we've known 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.040 they've had terroritized. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.359 We've known at least that they had violent criminal backgrounds, 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.559 and we haven't done anything until about eight days ago 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.160 when Donald Trump became the president of the United States. Again, 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.400 it really should shock the conscience of the American people. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.520 One of the things you've heard on the campaign trail, 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.640 one of the criticisms of me and of the president 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.640 was well, yes, we have twenty million illegal aliens. We 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.560 have close to a million violent criminal, illegal aliens, and 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.320 we don't know where they are. It turns out we 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 actually do know where a lot of them are. We 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.800 just haven't had immigration enforcement and that's what's changed so 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:38.400 rad That. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.320 Actually gives me hope that we can protect the homeland 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.559 because I would imagine if you're a terrorist and you're 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.720 in our country, you're not here to pursue a better 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.840 life for you and your children. You're here to plot, plan, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.560 scheme the next attack on our homeland. And I lived 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.280 through nine to eleven. I don't want to live through 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.880 that again. I don't want to lose, of course, nine 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.559 hundred and seventy seven Americans again. Yeah, Caroline Levett, I 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.400 watched her yesterday. I thought you did a great job. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.880 I agree, and Rachel I thought a star was born. 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.040 And it's a very hostile room as well. You had 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.200 your moment with Margaret Brennan, although I don't think she 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.720 had a very good day over the weekend my humble opinion, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.160 but I watched her with the media and she was 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:23.840 very forceful. And then you turn over to NBC and 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.960 everyone from Liberal Joe to Joy Read to Nicole Wallace 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.240 and Rachel Maddow and you know, it's not. They're back 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.800 to their closing argument in the campaign. Sure, Nazi, fascist, racist, Hitler, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.920 Stall and Mussolini. And I'm like, wow, it seems like 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.640 they haven't learned a thing. But here's my question, should 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.800 we should If they're going to go there and they're 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.400 going to make such insane allegations when you're trying to 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.679 get rid of criminals that have been murdering, raping, and 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:02.160 responsible for other crimes against violent crimes against Americans, why 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.440 are they even in a White House press brief here room. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.640 Why you know what was so interesting? 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.840 Just to give some more kudos to Carolyn is she 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.840 didn't have a massive binder and she did this incredible 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.200 briefing with all of the hostile media, and then somebody 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.800 asked her, where was your binder? And she said, my 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.000 binder is in my head. And I think there's something 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.960 very interesting about Donald Trump's approach to governances. He just 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.880 wants to hire smart, competent people to do the people's business. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.640 He's not worried about what you look like, whether you're 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.160 gay or straight, whether you're black or white. He's just saying, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.120 if you're smart and you're loyal to the American people, 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.400 you can have a place in my administration. I think 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.439 Carolyn really knocked it out of the park. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.439 But it does raise interesting question. I actually think that. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.360 We are looking very seriously about which reporters show up, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.160 because if you're a reporter, even if you're biased towards 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.800 the left, absolutely we. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:51.920 Want to answer your questions. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.040 If you're a propagandis for the Democratic Party, then we're 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.520 going to treat you like a propaganda's for the Democratic Party. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.400 And one of the things that I think we've already 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.440 done again only eight days into this thing, is you 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.360 know who. It's not just who's not there, it's also 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.440 who is present. And Carolyn had a lot of new 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.920 media folks, a lot of young people who represent I 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.960 think the vanguard of news media in this country. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.199 She gave Matt. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.959 Boyle from Breitbart and a question yesterday. These are actually 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.760 some of the people who are driving news in twenty 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.160 twenty five in America, and I think, frankly, the MSNBC's 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.760 the CNNs of the world. They should take the hint. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.160 Your viewership is way down, your ratings are abysmal. Why 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.720 is it that especially young people are tuning into new media? 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.359 Maybe it's because instead. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.440 Of engaging in propaganda, the new media is asking real questions. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.040 I mean, Joe Rogan, one of the biggest voices in 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.400 American media now, he was a Bernie brew eight years ago. 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.520 This is not like some crazy right wing guy. This 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.280 is just a person who's asking questions. And unfortunately most 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.280 of the old old media they're just not interested in that. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.440 All right, we'll come back. More of my interview with 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.880 JDV coming up eight hundred nine four one. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:02.200 Shawn. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.880 We'll get to some of your calls coming up, final 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.640 half hour of the program. All right, we're going to 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.600 get to your calls in just a minute. Eight hundred 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.400 nine four one. Shawn is on number. But first a 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.160 few more minutes of my interview with the Vice President 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.200 from earlier this week, JD evans As. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.600 I listened to them, and I watched Selena gome As 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:18.480 that viral video. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.640 Her Lord, you know, I think interesting. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:20.920 Now. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.600 I've talked to the family, as did President Trump. I 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.240 know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did not. I 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:27.920 talked to Lake and Riley's family. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:28.240 Yeah. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.240 I talked to Rachel Marn's family, mother of five. I 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:36.120 talked to Joscelyn Nungary's mother and grandfather, And I'm like, 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.440 where were the tears when a little thirteen year old 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.600 girl absolutely was brutalized and murdered and all these other 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:48.280 Americans murdered and raped and victims of violent crime, where. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:48.640 Were the tears? 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.960 Then it's a great point, Shawn, And there's something very 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.280 deranged in the mind of the far left in this country, 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.000 where I really do think that they feel more of 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.200 a sense of compassion for illegal aliens who have no 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.200 right to be in this country then they do their 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.000 fellow citizens. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.200 And that really has to change. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.360 And you know, when when Selena Gomez had her viral moment, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.080 and of course there were a lot of other celebrities 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.080 who weighed in, I had people sending me photos of 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.440 little kids, sometimes kids the same age as my little children. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.320 We've got, of course, a seven year old, a four 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:18.280 year old, three year old. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.120 Scene by the way, thank you, someone's playing with your hair. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.520 Yeah, we'll get to that. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.600 But you know, kids similar age to my children who 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.200 were murdered by criminal aliens in the United States of America. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.040 And as an American leader, but also just as an 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:38.560 American citizen, your compassion belongs first to your fellow citizens. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.000 It doesn't mean you hate people from outside of your 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.800 own borders. But there's this old school, and I think 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.240 it's a very Christian concept by the way, that you 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.760 love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.960 then you love your community, and then you love your 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.880 fellow citizens in your own country, and then after that 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.760 you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.720 A lot of the far left has completely inverted that. 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.080 They seem to hate the citizens of their own country 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.399 and care more about people outside. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.680 Their own borders. That is no way to run a society. 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.040 And I think the profound difference that Donald Trump brings 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.000 to the leadership of this country is that the simple 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.359 concept America first. It doesn't mean you hate anybody else. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.400 It means that you have leadership. And President Trump has 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.040 been very clear about this that puts the interests of 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.000 American citizens first. And in the same way that the 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.560 British Prime Minister should care about Brits and the French 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.000 should care about the French. We have an American president 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.720 who cares primarily about Americans and that's a very welcome change. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:35.880 What is President Shade doing? 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.119 What is with Latimeric people looking after the Chinese. Putin 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.600 is looking after the Russians that they're entitled to do that. 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.360 Thank God, we now have an American president who's looking 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.080 after the citizens of his own country. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.560 I hate to ask this question, I really do. And 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.840 because of my long standing friendship with the president. Sure, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.720 we have had two would be assassins. I read these reports, 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.840 you would know a lot more about the details than 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:05.880 I would, of course, about Iranian assassination squads in the country. Yep, 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.880 you are, now, as they say, one heart beat away 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.760 from the presidency. Do you think about that? I mean, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.840 God forbid that moment ever comes that. I mean, God forbid. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.520 Yeah, I try not to think about it, Sean. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.359 I mean my attitude is I'm going to do as 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.040
