As Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance to be his vice-presidential candidate Monday, we look at the record of the 39-year-old political rookie, who rose to fame after writing the memoir Hillbilly Elegy and who once compared Trump to Hitler and called him unfit for the presidency. He was elected to the Senate in 2022 with backing from right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, and he has since embraced the MAGA movement and become one of Trump’s most loyal supporters. For more on Vance’s rise and his appeal to the Republican base, we go to Pikeville, Kentucky, to speak with famed sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild, who has been speaking with Trump supporters for her forthcoming book, Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right, which is a follow-up to her 2016 book, Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, described as “a Rosetta stone” for understanding the rise of Donald Trump.

Thank you for showing this and us the hypocrite that J.D. Vance truly is!
I'm confused. Sean O'Brien is speaking out against "economic terrorism" and "corporate predators" but Trump is getting lots of money from Silicon Valley. Can someone explain this?
Think of political "donations" more as "investments" and it will start to make more sense.
1% buying tax breaks. Vance is a hypocrite.
@@zvmZvm0102 You are correct, the elite or some call the rich, don't give a crap about the economy or damage to our country's resources, they only believe in Generational Wealth. The problem is not the President, it's the politicians we elect to govern what we call Democracy. We our fooled to hate each other through racism and divisional wealth, while they pass laws to keep the poor people down and lift the wealthy up. If we don't wake up and smell the coffee, there will be no Democracy to fight over. Remember the civil war, well when Trump takes office, he and Vance will make January 6th, look like child's play and our whole country won't be safe for any race, unless we come together like we did when George Floyd died or any crisis we have encountered. Also, how in the hell we going to have a mass deportation of immigrants when you can't even keep the borders safe as of now. Poor people of all races need to stand up against the generations of rich Politicians and Corporations that created this mess we live in today. Anyone reading this post also read and pass along to others, the 2025 manifest in its entirety and ask yourself do you want to live by these new laws and regulations. Sure, Biden is old and so is Trump, yet as least Biden is not going to cause a race war in the US. Keep in mind the Caucasian race ( is or will be the minority race and as i see it the Hispanic race will outnumber all others. Pay attention to the People in America, not the Powerful in America, they are the cause of our major problems!
" Don't Hate Educate "
Your understanding is on the right track.
O'Brien's efforts are aside from Republicans. Under biden, every single bill/policy that's been pro-union has had zero Republican support. They shut it down every time.
O'Brien is attempting to hold them to at least something that could benefit the working class, and its him getting to use the platform for reach. One theory is they want the Amazon deal, and possibly the trump admin had him speak in a handshake deal to allow it happen. Thats just speculation though. The RNC is looking to leverage the speech for sure (appearances, sway voters and draw ire), but as you point out the elites and republicans most likely will not allow going any further than that.
Thiel and Musk, mainly
I live in a community with a lot of addicts. The scene of the young JD had me crying so hard. My closest friends neice recently died from fentynol. The one who was my best friend for around 30 years died from a stroke from meth. I know so many and it's sad that I'm not even surprised anymore when it happens.
And alcohol abuse is a big killer as well.
And ABSOLUTELY NO Democrat cares unless the victims are BLACK.
@@user-ns1sv9ux6y boo hoo pull yourself up man, boo hoo
old Joe's "Newcomers", hard at work.
I couldnt believe O'Brien was addressing the RNC. Good speech against corporate greed. This is what Biden should be saying, if he was sentient.
Bernie at the White House.
Someone who has talked bad about you can’t be trusted.
😂 did u tell Biden that too when he picked Harris?
Interesting. So everything Kamala Harris said about Biden is true? She called him a racist in 2020
@@MichaelBrown-xx4dd Harris and Biden were running for the same job at the same time, and Harris was losing so she politically attacked the leading candidate. Vance, on the other hand, made all of these comments on his own accord :) know the difference before you open your mouth
@zachpeters2861 if we are going by that logic, that makes Harris worse!
After seeing the mess we are in now, he woke up. I'm happy for him.
It's easy to demonize the people who support Trump and I appreciate the nuance that Mrs. Hochschild is speaking of in this interview. What are people who feel betrayed left and right to do after being ping-ponged back and forth without any true representation. And the tendency to look down on these people just makes things worse.
I went far right. Grew up poor, in and out of foster care and women's shelters (for my mom). I was very sympathetic to social justice issues as a kid. THEN I learned that Feminists hate poor boys, and Anti-racists hate poor whites. And these progressives do everything they can to harm you. Then I learned they are not my allies. Voting Trump/Vance.
I watched this with an open mind, but as a once democrat from California, I too did not like Trump in 2016. It was when I had to travel around the United States when I started listening to Americans. When I listened to their needs, when I had the opportunity to break bread with the heart of American families, is when I found what the true spirit that backs Trump is. The thing is, most people do not address the heart of America and the heart and soul of the American's that live within this country. We as a country have purposely disconnected from each other. We have disconnected from what our purpose is as human beings and as a community. Life is short... it is the precious commodity we have, Time.... and yet, there are so many people willing to become outraged by a man who truly has the heart of America within him. He sees the people, he lives for the working class. Doesn't matter that he has money... He worked hard for that privledged ... It's not Trump that is the problem. It is the people who have chosen to be angry, divisive, angry... why? because they are told too be. This country needs to find unity within each other. We all have a measured time to live. It being angry how one want's to live? Is being self righteous the cause you want to be remembered for? We are hurting each other, hurting our families, our neighbors, and the most beautiful country ... We are blessed beyond words... and being grateful is something most people have lost touched with... its more than saying it, its feeling it... You cant be angry and grateful at the same time. Let's find that narrow path where you find genuine love, kindness, truth, and preservation for all... not just self. We The People....
Well.said! Amen and amen
Amen! We’ll said!
Actually, it IS possible to be angry and grateful at the same time. The human condition is way beyond complex, but I agree with the rest of what you say👍
No social justice! No peace! How do you expect people to unify when there is such disparity of opportunity in the U.S.?
When Traveling-Salesman Harold Hill of "The Music Man" came to town, people liked him as well. He only cheated them out of money for Band Instruments for their children. That was fiction, this is not and the Stakes are much, much higher now. We're talking about the Executive Branch of the US Government.
The 3 Judges that Trump placed on the Supreme Court have ruled that anonymous campaign donations with no cap are "legal now". Those same (conservative) Judges ALSO ruled that when a President does ANYTHING in Office, what once was illegal isn't anymore. There's more; the EPA was signed into Law by President Nixon and has, for the last 5 decades, cleaned up our Air and our Rivers, for starters. The recent Chevron case has gutted the regulation power of government agencies - that's bad timing considering that Boeing is extracting profits for their executives instead of engaging in their Aircraft manufacturing. Maybe the Party of deregulation and Tax Cuts for businesses should have thought that over but neither they nor the Judges that ruled in favor of gutting Regulations in the Chevron case seems to care.
That all sounds pretty dangerous and it also sounds odd that the Judges Trump appointed would grant legal immunity to a sitting President when Trump clearly said, several times, that "he would be a dictator on day one". ONLY day one? Because, in 2016 Trump promised an endless number of times that he was going to be "too busy for Golf, working for you" and yet Trump Golfed more often in 4 years than Obama did in 8.
Red States have to still rely only on traditional TV, radio and newspapers, those have now been purchased by a very few, very wealthy billionaires. Not many residents living away from the airport/business regions in the nation's Midwest have Broadband. Many don't have any Internet at all. That means that they don't get to hear news from media that is not owned by billionaires and influenced by corporations. They never get into listen to Democracy Now! or the others.
Faced with that lack of diversity in the news they consume, those people must instead; ask themselves if this country is moving in the right direction for these past 4 years. I believe we are now. Biden has done good work and placed good people in important positions (one exception is Pete Buttigieg. I don't care that he's gay but I don't like him).
Trump was interviewed 39 times by Howard Stern on Howard's show. His show is not for me but I DO know that Howard Stern is very intelligent. I know also that Stern and Trump had many of the same fans, Stern knew that when he warned them on his radio show; "The people who Trump despises the most, Love him the most.".
Now, Howard Hill of "The Music Man" didn't hate the townspeople that purchased his band instruments but he did cheat them and again; the Presidency of the United States is not fiction and it is very, very important. Do not get this one wrong.
Why is this such an issue. Trump has picked what best for the direction the country needs to move forward. All critics will point issues towards the leaders.
Just remember Kamala called Joe a racist. Then became the VP.
And most forgot about Kamala’s run in with slick Willy brown back in the late 80’s .. and that is facts. I can only say one thing to unite the country .. there are both sides to every coin, somewhere in that middle is the truth
Most black people can site someone who's not of color they think are bigoted and racist.
This guest kept going around, around when responding to questions. Got bored, eventually got lost
Took forever to describe the occurrence we know as "brain drain"
"I never liked Trump," "| will NEVER vote for him," "| loath him," "his election was terrible for the country," and described him as "dangerous" and "reprehensible," and called his policies "immoral and absurd."
Yeah Vance- We haven't forgotten...
People are capable of changing their minds.
@@DadTheDT he only changed his mind when he realized he needed the Trump endorsement to have a chance in a Senate race.
@@DadTheDT CLEARLY. He has no integrity...
And let's not forget the 'Americas Hitler' comment...
@zachpeters2861 He has already been vocal about how he's changed his mind after Trumps first term. That isn't new information. He was confronted about his statements on Trump on Fox news and very plainly said he was wrong. That was years ago. Update your info dude.
@@DadTheDT like i said- a lack of integrity...
Dolly Parton's family was poor and she found a way to make money rather than the norm and created Dollywood to bring jobs and tourists to the area to help.
And Dolly has supported reading programmes for poorer children has she not? Donald Trump certainly knows how to play the political game, doesn't he?
JD Vance is, in no way, anywhere near the Caliber of Dolly Parton.
Tennessee. Not Kentucky.
@@heidi9547And how the hell do you know that? You know JD personally and hang out with him and his inner circle every day? Or with Dolly Parton for that matter? No, you don't! And actually you're wrong about his character and things he has done for others! Maybe go do some research about him first, instead of repeating the same stupidity as CNN! There's no excuse for being that lazy when most people have access to a smart phone!
@@patrickscottanner6212 Pennsyltucky whatever. Taking part in a fascist regime doesn't get you respect
The far left is loving and tolerant of everyone. Except everyone to their right: nearly everyone, including those who think with balanced reason.
"balanced reason" ? Why is a fetus so important but a child born to a poor family not worth asking billionaires to pay their fair share of Taxes?
Parents with a job at Amazon qualify for Taxpayer assistance but neither Amazon nor Bezos is a Federal Taxpayer. Why shouldn't the government stipulate that Amazon pay the parents a fair wage to keep them off public assistance? Have you seen Amazon's earnings? They can afford it, same with Walmart and others.
LMAO wow, delusion much
@@papacrawdaddyband5591 Convincing a narcissistic liberal of his/her faults is like playing ping pong with Stevie Wonder.

@@tomfuller5585me thinks you are projecting there.
People learn the truth and grow ; and leave behind the the ignorance to go for the truth and the light ! Vance has been illuminated!!
His years ago comments were the product of ignorance, which he is no more!!!!
Vance is accommodating Trump.
Right... The opioid crisis had nothing to do with the republican libertarians, the sales men
Rush Limbaugh was addicted to pain killers in 2003. There's the warning. Failed to heed.
I "" GUESS'' THE QUESTION IS... where are the ..BLACK APPALACHIA'S in this white world.. mmmm🤔😟 in this world, red green and black❤💚🖤
People can swtch their views on anyone as soon as they see the chanse of a vp position! That vp is thr new face for the term-word sellout.
Or smart politician. Some ppl are not born to stay comfortable within 4 walls or certain thoughts. Both his mum and he won't rest quiet until famous. Changing opinions politically is a small price to reach there. I doubt if president or vp needs to be able administrators. These positions need people connect and good dialogue delivery. He seems to have both.
Good. Is Donald Trump going to help working people? Or, will he again give tax breaks for the multi-billionaires? I am listening with open ears now that there may be a shift.
That’s the million dollar question right there. But Biden, despite his promise to tax people who make over $400K a year, has yet to do that. Why not???
Trump hasn't changed.
Please for the love of God and our great country don't VOTE for Trump. 😢
Hard to understand that question. Under Trump, blue collar workers were thriving until the virus hit us.
People change when they grow up, right? Politicians flip flop to gain, or stay in power. This is not fresh news...
“No matter how smart you are, how hard you work, how much coin you earn for us, we will put you in your place or put you out of the place you have somehow, albeit with our permission, achieved. You will be fired from your job, sent away in disgrace, and-who knows?-maybe sentenced and jailed to boot. In short, unless you do as we say (i.e., assimilate at once), your expletives belong to us.” By Toni Morrison September 28, 1998 - On the First Black President, The New Yorker.

When Democrats Hate someone He is the right Choice. thanks for the Promotion of JD Vance
Dems are for truth no matter what it is. It’s here to counter the falsehoods of the right.
On behalf of comedy lovers, I welcomed JD Vance till November 05, 2024.
JD Vance is the Dumbest guy to give up his secured senate seat for VP position which Trump can't even win. Don't he know what happens to Pence.
He's an opportunist taking a gamble.
So who do u think will win if not Trump?
he is Bagger Vance brother?
Vance shifting his view on Trump just in time to help his political aspirations.
@@bryincda go whine on your own time
Just in time? You have zero idea. He became friends with Trump eldest’s son for many years. It was Trump who supported Vance’s policy against war, not the other way round. Trump supported him even if Trump knew Vance was a never- Trumper because of their common anti-war stance. That’s how they started their friendship.
@@sherylmaddox2385 Do you know the meaning of the word "whine"? Maybe you should open your eyes and stop falling for the same BS. Vance appears to be just another lying politician who will change his views when it benefits his career-- typical politics-- open your eyes and stop whining about those who point out facts.
@@annabatumbakal12 You were there.
He changed his position during Trump's first term like many Americans did once they saw Trump making America great again.
With all the complaining going on, he must be good.
There seems to be a failure of critical thinking in this country.
My grandpa worked at Armco Steel. I visited him every summer in Middletown in the 70’s. I remember it vividly

I’m afraid he’s going to be criticized so harshly about all the terrible things he said about Trump and then when Trump nominated him to be vice president then he just loved Trump. I’m feel he sold his own soul for fame.😢
That WAS shocking to see the Teamsters president speaking at the RNC. Democrats are losing the information wars.
I cannot stand Van but he is totally on point on this issue. Amber Rose speaks to folks that would not watch CNN, MSNBC, FOX EVER!
Strongly disagree. This movie is a slap in the face to the people of Appalaichia. J D Vance is held up by a self centered grandmother as a hero for abandoning her own daughter exactly as she had done before. The same Liberatarian false boot straps bull. Disapppointing. I was going to post this story in eastern Kentucky but I will certainly not be doing so now.
Thanks, Amy.
When money talks, decency walks.
That's how we elected a corrupt Nursing home residentas President.
My thing is The HOUSING MARKET PEOPLE NEED to STOP running the locals out of all major towns. They are the ones that do all the work for these big companies.They NEED to build AFFORDABLE HOUSING for the average person and middle class ❤❤❤❤
If Not HOMELESSNESS is Only going to get worse ESPECIALLY in all major cities ❤
FAMILIES are Not being able to qualify for APARTMENTS because they got them to high. So Now its causing PEOPLE to move in all different directions. This is Not solving the problem ❤
Amen and amen again to that!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Maybe those people moving in want to become the new locals. You don't have the exclusive claim on a town just because you've lived there a while. There are plenty of abandoned houses in the middle of cities and out in rural areas, go fix them up.
@@bwofficial1776 Those "new locals" are speculators and landlords. They'll flip and raise prices on their own properties just to make housing into a rental market. Guess who will eventually be forced into that rental market, or leave? The older locals.
EDIT: It's also quite selfish to assume that older locals should pack up and go on the whim of wealthier new arrivals. What if those older locals are retired, infirm, and/or disabled? Should they be forced to hammer away at and flip ruined houses? Why must people "play the game" just to afford a place to live?
After 20+ years of being a loyal listener and supporter of Democracy Now I am leaving and walking away. It's sad to see how much Amy & Co have lost their way and can no longer see the issues clearly. I wish you all well but I can no longer support this show.
Vance explained that. He didn’t like Trump before his first presidency. He was then impressed with Trump so became a fan. You guys need to report the truth
No, he realized soon after the 2016 election that the whole party rallied so hard behind Trump that the only way of accomplishing his dreams of running for Senate was to gain a Trump endorsement. So, magically, he switched tunes and repeated blatant election fraud lies, completely switched tunes on Trump, etc. He would have never made it into the Senate without that endorsement. His hands were tied.
😂
Taking him at his word…? Really?
Or maybe he just found this politically advantageous, which seems more likely.
Two liars?
What an awful man this JD guy is. You convinced me but what do we do about him?
So much for Biden and no rhetoric 😢
Well he's a white guy and he has access to a lot of richis publicans with the same agenda. He's the perfect match.
This is so superficial ...
The duo makes perfect new-col and neo-con.
At first I hated Trump and how he treated the other candidates in '16, but I saw him as one who took his election seriously at his Inauguration, and then I saw the phenomenal RESULTS he brought for the good of the country, and my mind was changed.
A man of reason you are Larry. There are many like you who’s eyes were opened and are no longer told what to think and feel. 👍🏼
Name a policy he implemented that has put money in your pockets?
@@CCCC-de7qm Nothing I can think of at the moment that directly took funds from the Treasury and transferred them into my bank account, but I would also ask you: How have Biden's policies either helped or harmed you? I will list a few things Trump did in office that benefitted all Americans:
**He was right about NATO, China, NorK, Russia, Ukr, Afg,
**He slowed illegal immigration to a crawl
**The economy practically exploded, it grew so well
**Enacted tax reform that was especially beneficial to the middle class, the wealthy actually not so much
**No wars, but in fact avoided war (e.g., when his "mil advisors" urged him to retaliate against Iran, but said no)
**Built a strong defense and military
**ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
**Jobs back from China
**First safe modular nuclear reactors
**450 miles of border wall
**Low unemployment -- historic economic growth across ethnic lines -- $6K per family
**prison reform
**Abraham Accords Middle East peace agreements
**Reduced CO2 by 2.9% AND withdrew from toxic Paris Climate scam
**Vetoed Iran $ billions
** Inflation 1.4% when left office (NOT 9% as Biden lied, Biden MADE it more than 9%)
**Poked the DeepState status-quo establishment bear, and drew their monumental opposition
**Not perfect, but he did what he could to keep his promises in the midst of withering hostility
**Was not "Hitler" or "a dictator," unlike the present authoritarian regime
**Was not what the Marxocrats or the Marxocrat Media accused him of, and tried to destroy him
I would say Biden's policies, such as killing energy independence and creating record inflation REMOVED FUNDS from my bank account. I have had to suspend my retirement, thanks to Effing felon, Joe Biden, and am I angry? THINK ABOUT IT.
@@CCCC-de7qm Increased child tax cuts, encouraging drilling for oil to lower oil prices, just to name two.
Oh, Kimberly is trying to out-fashion Melania. 😆😅
This level of thinking is why the left is experiencing decay.
Maybe if Trump's critics compare his policy and actions to Biden's you may what to put america first and our constitution. Stop the hate .
That’s how a lot of people talked about TRUMP IN THE BEGINNING.., and then they realized he did an excellent job and wasn’t at all what they expected of what the media made him out to be!
An excellent job😅
R u ok excellent work 😅😅😅
J.D. Vance stance on abusive marriages is to stay because of the children. Suck it up! What a cruel opinion, he knows nothing of any womans trials within an abusive relationship! Hope knowing this helps some in their decision who NOT to vote for!
Biden is done.
Da
Why the hell is, Sean Obrien speaking at the Republican convention!?
Because it's a way to get his message out? That's my guess. He knows it will shock the left and he knows that the Congress of the U.S. and the Presidency is not controlled by progressives. I don't agree with him saying that the corporations should pick up the tab for healthcare insurance premiums. Everybody deserves the same level of healthcare, don't they? We should have medicare for all and we don't.
What a word salad that actually means nothing all this was attacked on Donald Trump and JD Vance this just proves they fear education people like JD Vance

At 19:40, Sean O'Brien, the President of the Teamsters says that it needs to be easier for companies to remain in America.
News Flash: Manufacturing companies in the U.S. do not move overseas because their situation in America is too hard.
Companies move overseas because doing so increases their profits, their bottom line.
The decision to move is made by a tiny group of plutocrats in the corporate board of directors.
The board is totally unaccountable to ANYONE, they can do as they please, and nobody can stop them.
The failed union strategy of "partnership with management" is just that: A FAILED STRATEGY.
That is why union membership in America among privately owned corporations is around 5% of the labor force. Almost non-existent.
You would have thought that (with union density approaching zero) union leaders like O'Brien would have ditched failed strategies like "partnership with management".
And you would be wrong.
Wouldn’t ya think J.D. would have some compassion for women who held things together and were present in his own life? Why support a candidate that has done nothing but try to make life harder for women and children? Why would you NOT be able to see the reasons why women are the ones taking care of things? Why side with the men who were absent and didnt have to figure out how to survive with kids and no money?
How would J.D

Let me correct a mistake in your comment, respectfully. Vance and Trump were sitting next to each other at the Convention last night. Trump looked tired, but given he almost was killed some 72 hrs before, I give him a pass on that . Just wanted to let you know they attended and listened to the Teamster Presidents speech. An immigrant from Nicaragua, the story of Amber Rose who told of her journey to support Trump. They heard a young man about his family business and how they are struggling to survive. I recommend you watch and listen to last night's speeches. They are inspiring, as one American to another. Our struggles are real!
Does Kentucky send their smart folks away, or do those folks escape an unfriendly atmosphere. I know as a gay man, it's an escape to safer, more inclusive places.
I think it's a mix, my Papa left KY for the military (which was the only way to get mobility and ended up working for the DC architect). He had a rough upbringing and alcoholism destroyed his 1st marriage. My nana left NC due to domestic violence and Jim Crow (she was Cherokee, 1st married a white man from a local rich family).
I wish people didn't feel the need to leave home for survival.

I feel gypped. In the first paragraph, it says they will be looking at the record of Vance which I was very interested in. It seems that all that’s out there on him is his upbringing and book. Very disappointing video - all it does is more Trump-bashing and the guest promoting his own book.
His niebor came out after the hillbilly eulogy to let everyone know he grew up in the suburbs. So good job media, why not just install Trump now like he demanded 3 years ago. I can't believe what an embarrassment my party the grand old party became. VOTE!

Both sides of the political scene seem to believe they are personal selves with a freewill and as such make personal choices.
We only react according to our conditioning and genetics to every situation
Frightening...unstable attention seeking genes he has
I'm a big supporter of Democracy Now for their stellar reporting on the genocide in Gaza-at the hands of the Zionist movement. I come from the people of Appalachia on my maternal side. From a long line of coal miners more specifically. My family has been staunch Democrats for generations. I was not raised in that community however, so my views come from an outsider's perspective although I have a deep heart for those communities.
Here's my main point: I am no longer a registered Democrat-where I worked tirelessly for both of Barack Obama's campaigns. I switched to Independent so I could vote for Robert Kennedy Jr. I have pulled out of Bobby's campaign due to his lack of support for the people of Gaza. I currently have no candidate. I am extremely hesitant to vote Republican. I don't feel I could do that so I am not voting in November. How I justify this decision is believing my vote as an individual *does not count*. At least not in my state.
My question for Ms. Hochschild is rhetorical but it's this: who brought and are bringing the drugs into the poor Appalachian communities (and to the Native American communities at alarming rates) along with the Sackler family and their opiates? Where are these drugs originating from?
I think anyone with any common sense knows the answer to that question.
*THIS* is why individuals like JD Vance are having massive appeal to peoples of economically and mentally distressed communities; he appeals to the ones who are really living it and not just writing about it. It's really not rocket science.
Please for the love of God and our great country, don't vote for Trump. 🥺
I think JD Vance will soon be in cahoots with big pharma, as is trump.
@@Happy-uy5wc Don't worry. I couldn't but I am sending a message to the DNC who are no better in their crookery. Some Dems *are* now voting that way...
@@Happy-uy5wc We need to vote for Trump to save this country and make it great again!

Our country has not been that great since the White man arrived.
Trump is a selfish pervert.
He can't help himself let alone us.
IM SHOCKED HE PICKED HIM
Oh wow. Trump's wife showed up.
As a maga supporter from the beginning and a trump supporter I really wish Trump had chosen someone other than a flip-flopper
I think we'll all be surprised at the great accomplishments that will come out of Trump and JD.
This is actually good that Trump chose someone who used to hate him. Trump changed Vance's mind just like he did for many Americans.
I wonder how much money he was paid to join the "dream team" [lol... ]. What a joke? 😂😂😂😂
FJB
Get over it, he saw how well Trump ran the country, you should too.
Um uh I uh think uh think uh Ms um Arlie is uh uh quite um a a a poor um public uh speaker and and and not too too articulate um with her her her demented um um ideas.
JD gets high marks for Hypocrisy and Mendacity 👎‼️
A perfect match for DJT ‼️

We’re in big trouble
Maybe he had a epiphany..........like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr ?
Love you Amy. Democracy Now is necessary. Go blue!!
More like try to keep the "status quo" of the Democrats
Oh no , not another Rino
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer. Thats what Trump is doing. He can keep a better eye on Trump. A man convinced against his will us of the same opinion still. He still thinks of Trump of a man ge can stomach but the iffice of Vice is equally appealing to him since he cant be President he us closer to it by doing this. People forget the evil you do for a while but accept the fake smile and lies you give them. 😮
His book was based on lies. He made all this up and borrowed from another Appalachian writer.
Please explain. I read the book and something was off with it.
Based on lies?? It's a memoir and nearly all of it is true and can be corroborated.
Vance's book is BS. He never lived in Appalachia.
Dear Democracy Now!
as an avid supporter, i am angered and dissatisfied that you can do no better than exploit a bullshit depiction of the entirety of the Appalachian region as extrapolated from one small area of Kentucky (and not even extrapolated any remotely interesting fashion.)
“shockingly “ everyone who comes to this region and reports about it tends to peddle the same “get out” myth wherein in order to be smart or progressive one must get out of the backwards region of drugs and pride and violence, etc etc etc (ad nauseam…)
this story creates perceptions about the Appalachian people and then other retell the same tale, for the pleasure of the rest of the nation, who loves the reinforcement of the “Appalachian poverty drama”.
Appalachia is an inherently variegated region that by nature of its unique boundaries within states, but not encompassing states except for West Virginia… makes it a different region to easily navigate, politically speaking…
However, every single reporter who wants to talk about Appalachia with regards to Trump does so in a pat, un interesting and quite frankly bullshit manner that would not suffer the rigors of reporting with regards to any other polling in any other region. Progressives and moderates live here too, we loved our unions…lots.
We have universities, and plenty of people who are not addicts, not violent, people who speak more than one language, who are of all sexual orientations…and plenty of immigrants we love and cherish in our communities as Also, you might want to talk about how Appalachia has been the site of more than just coal- its first ever natural resource being the old growth forests in the Mountains in the Smokies and the Blue Ridge. it is remarkable to me how people love to report on this and no one even thinks to get a fresh take because the fresh take of Appalachia for the rest of the nation would of course be a take that denies the homogenous view of Appalachia as evidenced by one JD Vance…I
how about you bring on some of the APPALACHIAN scholars and excellent writers who have been part of the movement in response to Jd Vances’s Cavalier notion of the using the first person plural we to speak for an entire population of people as if “we”were all his own personal puppets on his way to opportunistic power grabs.
If you want to check out some excellent writing about that represents a complicated perspective that actually reflects a complicated region that refuses to be lumped into one single thing… Check out the anthology APPALACHIAN reckoning, as well as the other anthology “walk till the dogs get get mean: contemporary writing from Appalachia. “
Autocracy by Democrats
Weird systems in America suspicious event made trump hero with clean records 😅
Poor guy, he feels like he’s with family when he’s with Trump. 😢
This is the kind of day Joe Biden would tell his daughter let’s go shower together to cool off
They had too make up/exaggerate the movie because the book was,so boring. I didn't know who he was when I saw the movie. This is probably the only time the book isn't better then the movie. Once I read,the book,I realized they had to embellish the movie in such a way because the book is just whining. His situation wasn't even that bad. The movie made his life seem unbelievably tragic,until you read the book and realize it's pure Hollywood. Sorry I wasted money on that book. It was a struggle to slog through.
I respectfully disagree.
@@Ann-eb8fo Umm, it's about his life! Was he supposed to add lies and drama just for your liking? Sorry, but it was a best seller with rave reviews, so much so that it got Ron Howard's attention to direct the movie and attracted some big name actors to play in it.
