J. D. Vance

President Trump accuses Democrat Senate candidate James Taliaferro of beating and then eating meat.

Vice President JD Vance wins the crowd with the first big speech of 2028, and Congressman Brandon Gill emerges as the breakout star.

Then Senate Majority Leader John Thune gets booed.

A wild night at the RNC.

He's landing on these issues that, that really matter and that unify Republicans, and he's doing it in a very persuasive way.

Excellent, excellent stuff.

On this theme of inheritance, on this theme of the land that we possess, that we are possessed by, to use the phrase of Robert Frost at John F. Kennedy's inauguration, uh, JD Vance really builds on this.

I thought he did a great job describing the, the country and what the country means to us in his speech, which is also getting very, very high marks.

The company also said it completed a plan to sell $20 billion of equity from time to time at market value.

Republicans wrapped up their two-day midterm convention in Dallas last night, with Vice President Vance urging voters to back Republicans, even if they do not agree on everything, and President Trump asking his base to pretend he's on the ballot.

Bloomberg Government's Maeve Sheehan has more.

The biggest takeaway, uh, for me, and I think for, for most Democrats and Republicans alike, is that President Trump promised this $5,000 check to e- every adult citizen if Republicans win both the House and the Senate in midterms.

We'll never forget you." She went off script.

Keep in mind, she's doing this in front of J.D. Vance, George Bush, Joe Biden.

They're all standing there.

And she does not waste this opportunity.

Tell the Saudis to stop lying.

Tell them that if they want to be friends with the USA, they cannot continue to deny all of this, all of the pain, all of the destruction that we have all been suffering through.

Vice President Vance, thank you for being here today.

[clapping] Please carry that message back.

This milestone of twenty-five years resonates especially because of the passage of time.

Today, Vice President JD Vance will be here, as long as with the four former living presidents and their wives, the officials and family members.

Today, a new moment of silence has been added, a seventh, that to mark all those who have died from 9/11 related illnesses.

Fox's Eric Shawn at Ground Zero.

Today commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy in Kansas.

Governor Laura Kelly has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff today in the state.

Vice President JD Vance will be in the Kansas City area next Monday when he and Senator Roger Marshall will speak at Webco Manufacturing in Olathe.

The ticketed event is scheduled to begin at noon.

Everybody else in...

Like, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, especially Donald Trump, they didn't give a shit about Charlie Kirk.

They didn't fucking care.

No, we'll talk about JD Vance later, but I- I'll just say right here to not bury the lead, JD Vance is gonna be the number one K- like, Charlie Kirk grifter, like, going into the 2028 season.

For sure.

That's confirmed.

I would not be surprised if JD Vance dedicates his 2028 run to Charlie Kirk.

Like, mark my fucking...

Bro, he said it right there.

"I don't care if they're registered or not, I'm gonna try to cheat like hell like they do." What the hell is this rationale coming from the President of the United States, who is constantly undermining our elections? Let's jump over to JD Vance's portion of the RNC speech that is desperately being held in Texas.

Let me remind you all, this is not coming from a position of strength.

The RNC isn't holding a midterm convention in the state of Texas because they think they're in a good spot.

They know they're gonna lose.

They know their policy is unpopular, and they're trying to salvage Ken Paxton's reputation.

Now, the way JD Vance tries to do this is the weirdest, worst way possible.

He brings up James Talarico just broadly supporting transgender Americans, and then he tries to say he wouldn't like to see Talarico's browser history, which is usually an innuendo for somebody watching some type of, like, weird porn.

But, you know, again, if he's the determining factor as to which party is going to control the majority, the majority here, I think that's something to watch.

Now, remember, a 50-50 tie, Vice President Vance technically, you know, gives the edge to Republicans, but they still have to come up with arrangements with Democrats as to how they're going to govern.

If you have the 50-50 tie and then suddenly Fetterman makes it 51-49, Republicans don't have to get through that.

So I think that's sort of the math, sort of what's going into Fetterman's calculus there.

J.D. Vance is such a goober.

He is such a loser.

He is such just an intolerable chud that I cannot say.

how grateful I am for the guy who protested him during his speech today.

Because JD Vance, he's not actually a really great public speaker.

Maybe a debate bro, although I don't really want to give him that much credit.

But really locking in and making a connection with an audience is not something that the risless vice president of the United States is able to do.

Do you think he managed it last night?

Yeah, I think what was quite interesting was a few hours before he spoke, this story broke in The New York Times, which was JD Vance has long had fears on the Iran war and has been working behind the scenes because he hasn't trusted what the deep state has been saying on it.

Yes, I think he actually went to where he's been going around in the last two months to all...

The story did say, interestingly, with the permission of the president and with the permission of the Pentagon, talking directly to military commanders to find out how it's going, what's gone wrong, which I thought was interesting on a number of levels.
