He’s had Trump and Vance and they both shot the sh!t and had great conversations. I can only imagine how much of a train wreck it would be to have that weirdo Walz on here lying constantly and Kamala trying to make a complete sentence
You're exactly right. The journalist have a script that they have to go by It's faking phony It's not genuine it's not authentic It's not from the heart It's from HRC and has been for a very very long time.
That's why it was essential that they lied about him to as many people as they could as fast as they could. They correctly recognized this guy as a major threat from day one.
I like that he cusses, normal people cuss, he isn't in front of children he's speaking with another grown man and freely expressing his opinions, I respect that.
I would not say that I like for anyone to cuss including myself and I am bad at times about having a potty mouth.My son who is 24 with Aspergers inherited that from hearing mine and we both remind each other at times that its not cool.I will say there are boundaries there and any cussing including God is off limits and happens very few and far between though.With that being said as a Christian I like for people to be authenic.Not to hide their sins and be someone they are not.None of us are perfect even though we should strive to be better every single day so I get what you are saying.He isnt trying to hide that he cusses at times and he didnt say anything too bad.Just the minor of the words that are listed in our society as being "cuss words" "curse words" which I think of as stomp my pinky toe words.He was showing himself here in a relaxed situation as just a normal guy and some needed to see this.
@@wowitsfrostygames155I do not like that he cusses, I do not like the F word or if you use God’s name in vain. That is my opinion and it kinda surprised me coming from a VP candidate.
You tell by how they relate to the family addiction crisis in Appalachia. Just bro talk and understand where each other comes from. I found it interesting them talking about the recovery programs also. James David or JD is a good man.
I could be wrong, but I think that was a Mitch Hedberg line/joke 🤔 Either way, Theo delivered it beautifully. Even if it WAS Mitch Hedberg, he's been gone so long, Theo could make his jokes all his and they'd be just as good today as they were 25 years ago!
I like when people feel the need to point out that Theo doesn’t talk this way privately amongst friends “ you know that’s just a character he does on podcasts!!” Oh, you’re telling me he’s not trying to be funny 100% of the time and has an entertaining podcast persona? Such a scandal.
JD is the first guest I’ve ever seen on here that knew every time Theo was joking and laughed in all the right places. Every time. Totally just a regular dude who gets it.
When jd said "i remember growing up and thinking my mom is never going to see my children" that shit hit right at home. JD is a man of the people for sure
Right on. As I asked my friend (who leans left a fair amount) who told me the same thing "So, ask yourself WHY did you have those preconceptions and opinions about him? You may want to find out what else they've been lying to you about."
I definitely like his down-to-earth background and hearing about his family story. But remember, he's a charming politician. It doesn't take much to start seeing some serious flaws in what he says. For example, Trump lost the last election...and yet Vance still won't admit that in any conversation I've heard from him. Here's another...Trump had more former lobbyists in his administration than Obama. So don't buy their grift when they talk about draining the swamp. Vance had integrity when he correctly called out Trump's issues back in the day. I don't trust this new version that can't stand firm on basic principles like the peaceful transfer of power.
@@lapdawg60 Because of the words that come out of his own mouth, the things that he refuses to answer, extreme shift in views and loss of integrity that coincidentally coincide with an increase in power.
@@wildbear2472 /sigh. Unfortunately, youtube will instantly ban any comment that would correct what you mistakenly believe about this topic. I could direct you to literally hundreds of serious, reliable sources, that prove much of the claims Vance is implicitly referring to - but again it would be instantly removed. And because of the echo chambers you have been in you have not seen those sources and those proofs which is why you believe this nonsense about the "peaceful transfer of power" and what happened with the last election. I'm sorry to say
Man Im 21 years old and my moms been going through addiction since i was in 9th grade , She’s the worst she’s ever been now drinking every day shes just not the same person but JD talking about his mom gives me hope that i havent felt in a long time , when he said he didn’t think his mom would be around to see his kids , man thats exactly how i feel right now , Dont even know why i started typing this but thanks JD for givin me some hope
God dude. Part of this hit so incredibly hard at home, and I NEVER expected that when I started this video. “Don’t let your parents addiction be something that controls your life, too.” When I was growing up, my parents were very hardcore opioid addicts, I was born addicted to opioids. But, at one point, these were really good people. My dad was a pediatrician, graduated from John’s Hopkins, my mom was a paralegal. Brilliant people. Genuinely. But I held alot of resentment towards my mom after my dad’s death when I was 14. I was very angry with her, and blamed her for all of my problems. Now, at 26, I see things at a worlds difference. Just from pure life experience, and then struggling with addiction and being ABLE to recover (which I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS wish that my parents had more resources. More options. My mom really lost hope after my dad died). I know so much more now, and see things 1000% differently than I ever did as a kid. She passed away when I was 19, both of my parents dying from drug related organ failure over a very short timeframe. I am incredibly happy for JD that he got to see his mom get clean. I’m happy for his mom that she got to see the other side of life, and Did recover. I think the way he talks about her addiction, especially when he was a kid, is just so relatable for myself personally and I’m sure so many other children of addicts.
I’m so sorry that you lost both your parents. Please know, you will be able to be reunited with them again, without addiction and pain and suffering. There is a second chance and I firmly believe that God has a huge heart for all people, but especially for the ones that suffered a ton, or are suffering a ton, while here on earth. I don’t think the church teaches that enough and why it’s important to just focus on a personal relationship with God, Jesus, away from the religion and politics of it all. Also, congratulations on your recovery, I believe you said you struggled too with addiction but overcame it? You should be proud of yourself, I’m proud of you, truly! And I know your parents are! Keep up the good work; you’re doing so well in life! ❤️💯👏👏
MSM and Walts: Vance is so weird Vance: Son of a recovering drug addict, loves Ohio State football, and wants to have drink while being a good dad. I’ll take this kind of weird
And changed every single thing about himself overnight as a GROWN MAN Repeated a Nazi group blood tribe s lie about black peiple eating animals Took 30 million from billionaire Peter their for his senate race I could go on but YOU probably don’t want to hear it
I just wanted to give a big shout-out to JD Vance. Hearing about his journey with his mother’s recovery from heroin addiction really hit home for me. His compassion and understanding around addiction show that he truly gets what it’s like for families dealing with these struggles. It’s rare to see a leader who speaks from personal experience with so much empathy and insight. Knowing that he’s out there advocating for those who’ve been through it makes me feel so much more hopeful. JD, thank you for standing up for us and showing that recovery is possible. You’ve got my respect and support!
As a Black person, I appreciate him saying "Black people/Black folks" because I hate being called African American - I'm not from Africa, I'm from America, so if you're not going to call me American, just call me Black, dammit!
Facts! It’s like the equivalent of calling white people “European-Caucasian Americans”. Like what? Nobody says that😂. Just say black, and if that makes you uncomfortable you’re probably racist and projecting
dude can sit down on a podcast with THE Theo Von and hes comfortable. When hes on stage in a rally having to defend trump at all times, he just becomes weird
JD Vance is bankrolled by Peter Thiel who founded Palantir, a big data analytic software whose only contract for the first seven years of its existence was the CIA. They now work with every intelligence agency in America such as the NSA and FBI, so that these agencies can purchase privately-collected data from Palantir to domestically spy on US citizens. Palantir also provides Israel with proprietary AI software called "Lavender," that determines where Israel should drop their bombs on Gaza, many times resulting in civilian casualties. If you're a conservative, you should be asking yourself, "do I really want the next-up candidate for President of the United States to be someone with deep ties to the intelligence community?" Are these really principles that you should support? How did we get to this point where these are our two best options? How did Vance go from serving in a Senate seat in 2023, which was bought and paid for by Peter Thiel, to being a Vice President nominee in 2024? Does this seem organic to you? Is Peter Thiel praying for a war with Iran so that Palantir's services can be broadened, increasing its overall value while increasing his net worth? Why would he bankroll Vance to the tune of $15,000,000 if not for some ulterior motive? Vance certainly seems hawkish on going to war with Iran, given his remarks about "hitting Iran hard." All of the details above should concern you, regardless of your party affiliation.

Being enmeshed in an addicted family dynamic is extremely hard to extricate yourself from. It took me decades and came at great personal, psychological, and financial cost. Happy to say I am in a much better place now :)
Because he doesn't believe women should have control over their own bodies, for one. You can be a "good guy" to hang around and want to enforce 'bad' things.
@@hmmboostit’s more than just “their” body though. Im for abortion given extenuating circumstances (if something would happen to the mother, sexual assault, etc) But to act like you’re not killing a life isn’t the best basis for a statement about his character. I’d argue he’s trying to save lives
I think it really goes to show how far Theo has come that his last comment is “we’ll be cheering your mom on”. What a genuine, compassionate dude for recoveries.
I’m a recovering addicted and I thank Trump for my recovery. I got clean at the end of trumps administration b/c my drug of choice was so hard to get out so expensive. If I didn’t get clean when I did, I’ would’ve been ☠️. Months after I got out of rehab, My ex dealer called me saying how Much stuff he had and the price was cut almost down by 70-80%. He said he was getting it right and left. Guess who was in office at this time 🧐. I don’t like Trump in the beginning, I was one of them, until I realized it was b/c of him he slowed down the trafficking of dope by closing The border and Biden and Kamala is the reason my ex dealer has unlimited amount of dope at Pennie’s in the dollar. Thank you Trump, I owe you my life and my future w/ my boys. Thank you so much. Right now I’m, literally, in tears thinking about how much he saved my life. Trump Is family to me. The whole time my boys and my husband were Trump supporters and I thought they were crazy. I was the one who was brainwashed, not them. Thank you Trump and I’m so sorry for not believing you when you ran the first time in 2016, but you 1000% proved yourself. Thank you for saving my life.
I'm from the UK, so I probably haven't had as much exposure to JD Vance as most American viewers. I only really know what I've been told about him through the mainstream media, but honestly, he seems like a pretty chill guy.
That’s some huge improvement the trump presidency brings. He’s not a politicians, doesn’t lie, say how things are, what you see is what you get etc etc. I’m tired of politicians who just don’t give a f, they’re only there for their own pockets and own positions. The ⬅️ is d*mb as a rock anyways but to actually directly vote for deepstate and fake created celebrities is laughable and shameful.
@@davethepieman12 MSM are the propaganda machines. They only tell the public what THEY want us to hear and see. In order to seek the truth and fact check what you've heard or seen, do your own due diligence and not just rely on the MSM.
How much of a breath of fresh air is it to have a guy just sit down and have a down to earth normal conversation and not try to sound polished and rehearsed. Hes just a normal guy.
@@Zeno7741 I banged a couch once when I was a kid… it’s not that weird, he was just honest about it. But yeah, I’d rather have dishonest politicians too. Being honest is weird.
he had some great one liners during this interview. i also liked semper fat and that line about not even being able to do cocaine in this country anymore
JD Vance is such a wholesome & relatable guy. As a woman born and raised in Kentucky, addiction has affected my family, life, and marriage. I respect him so much. Props to you, VP Vance. I 100% see him as our future president. And I'd vote for him no matter who he's up against. ❤
@@Birdup978He isn’t. Bill Gates who donated $50M to Kamala is. Bill and Hillary are. So are many in Hollywood that openly endorse Kamala. Wake up, dude.
That's what the left hates the most, 'normal' white dudes! They can't stand anything not queer or quirky, especially in power!! Which is why they have to say he is weird.
I was skeptical about Vance, and I mean VERY skeptical, but he's solid. Is he perfect? Hell nah. Needs to be tougher, more aggressive, at least in my opinion. But he is HANDS DOWN the most relatable person of the 4 running for the executive branch. Ol boy has a promising future in politics if he does the right things for the people
Mass deportations, restricting woman's rights, putting people in key positions to subvert future elections, increasing American isolation - allowing China to take over the US economy. All very normal. Go do independent research.
@@1parker23 "judging any politician on how they present themselves to the public is silly. That’s literally their job" That makes no sense. Judging a politician on how they do their job is silly? I'm not even agreeing or disagreeing with you on this one, I genuinely have no idea what point you are trying to make. Either way, Im confident you came here to throw shade on JD Vance, not shade people who form an opinion from watching youtube videos in general, since that would be silly of you.
I honestly didn't hear JD Vance speak for more than 5 seconds before this interview. And I'm thoroughly impressed by his openness, empathy, and relatibilty. I hope the American people see through the smoke and mirrors and vote for people who truly love America.
He is the most liked politician in the world right now. Or at least he will be very soon. He's the most transparent, honest, down to Earth politician in history. Trump is a genius for picking him, because Trump could have picked several others, but he picked Vance, even though people didn't think it was the best choice at the time.
I’m so glad y’all are seeing this about JD because the media are horrible liars and the Biden / Harris administration. They have to lie because they have no good policies!
Yeah. I found it weird when Walz called him weird. He is the most regular American that has run on a major presidential platform in a long time. Regular Americans have a dark complex history, and some contradictory views. We all have the relative that went too hard into drugs, it is refreshing to hear about actual struggle. No idea about his policies though. I heard that he likes Lina Kahn’s policies in the FTC, which is objectively insane. Normal people have ideas that are a little off the wall too.
It was childish character assassination. When you forgo a primary, get caught lying about the sitting President's mental health, and install a very unlikeable candidate, you have to distract people.
I'm not personally a huge fan of Trump/Vance, watching from Australia. But I hope that their success means that the Democrats have to pull out an actual populist leader, instead of continually trying these establishment dummies. I'm also glad that Vance seems to debate like a normal politician, which would hopefully mean you lot will return to choosing candidates with a little more respect, like Vance... Fingers crossed though, since Trump's first win didn't send any shockwaves in the Democratic party, we'll have to see if JD will be challenged by a competant and genuine left-wing candidate, unlike Ms Harris who could only repeat the same 5 sentences every time she appeared and is more conservative than our centre right party in Australia. IDK if the next 4 years are gonna be a golden age for the US like you expect, from the outside Trump gives off the vibe of a Herbert Hoover more than he does an FDR. I think JD is gonna be challenged by a fierce and ambitious opponent akin to FDR (the metaphor makes even more sense considering WWIII is just around the corner, whether Trump says he can prevent it or not, its coming).
@@jackjohnston_jj2004its insane that youre from australia, can admit you dont like the current republican team but still recognize the cess pool of people democrats chose from. admirable
JD is the kinda man I don’t think we’ve seen in politics in many decades. Once you get a sense of where he came from and try to wrap your head around where he’s gotten himself to as a man, Dad, Husband, etc -100% this is the type of unwavering down to earth humble guy we need as representation in the District of Corruption
Absolutely..I'm not ignorant enough to think any of them are completely straight..you have to be some type of way to make it that far in politics but I know we would be in the best hands with him and Trump
He's like Trump...very relatable. I can't see Kamala doing an interview like this one. If she had a real conversation with Theo, she would be exposed. Same for Rogan,
I just wanted to congratulate Theo von for this podcast and trumps podcast. You took no sides and asked excellent questions about real issues that nobody thought you were capable of doing. You proved all the haters wrong
I lived near where he grew up. My mom met him when he was running and he was so kind to her. He truly has the heart and soul to become a great politician. One who actually TRULY cares
I like jd so much after this interview. He seems like such a normal guy just sitting down having a real conversation. He’s not selling the election. He’s not going after opponents. He’s not selling high hopes. He’s just there cussing and having a real conversation about life.
Right? I didn’t like him at all before and after that I was like shit he is actually cool as hell. And I was watching him like a hawk for 2 hours and he was genuine as you can get I feel like. Maybe I’m an idiot
All Americans want is a President who loves America instead of a globalist agent installed to transfer all wealth out, then destroy America from the top-down domestically and internationally using a stolen office with Covid bills- generating fiat, an all-out invasion of the hordes- generating fiat, supply chain disruption both generally AND during national disasters, World War 3- generating fiat, and LIES. These people in power now ARE THE ENEMY, NOT RUSSIA!
It was a beautiful interview that we need to help go viral! The things that were talked about are incredibly real for so many people and the conversation between Theo and JD was so REAL! I know that this conversation can help millions of people find hope and happiness and healing. So Let’s share this video and do our part to Make America REAL Again!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed. As a Brother Marine myself and I will be until the day I die. And JD will be my brother for life. I am not a was a Marine I is a Marine and I am58 years old. 8 years in the Marine Corps 1984-1992 Grunt 0311 4 years Combat Engineer 1371 4 years. Up above someone made a comment about one day he may be President. I am going to go out on a ledge and say one day this guy will be the President. Mr. Trump only can do 4 years so Here comes JD. We need a Jarhead up there in that Big White house we all own. My tax money going to pay his salary as President would be my Honor. And he talks just like a regular American Jarhead. (yes I can call him that because I are one also) You hear the F Bomb from time to time and he is a Christian. I am also a Christian not Catlick. But a Christian and that F-bomb everyone thinks is so terrible. Well you dont ever want to set and talk to me because I use it very frequently. In fact the actual word the F-bomb stands for with a photo of Biden is on the back of my truck. The Supreme court has determined back in the Vietnam era when a guy wore a jacket into a federal courthouse with Fuc* Vietnam on the back and the supreme court ruled it is covered by free speech. My bible does not say there is anything about the F-bomb Man has made the word a bad word. and I dont really care. People used to say using the word shows your intelligence so like if JD uses it that is how intelligent I would love to be. Along with Elon Musk. I have heard it come out in almost every podcast so yea.
I find it hilarious that a couple weeks ago I was talking to my mother because she had just finished reading the book hillbilly elegy. She was going on about how she swears she changed the diapers of the author when he was a kid. She's about the same age as Vance's mother and remembers her quite well because she lived a block down the road from them and can remember her bringing over her little son whenever she would come hang out. My mother does not follow politics in the slightest and when I mentioned to her that that's literally the guy that's running for vice president for the Republicans she died laughing. She had no idea that she's changed the diapers of what is probably going to be our future president in 2028 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Michealschatbox I wish I was joking about that LOL I thought she was bullshiting with me at first but she's dead serious that she swears she's changed his diapers as a baby.
Well now, I finally get around to watching this interview and it just so happens this man is now the 50th Vice-President elect of the United States. Congratulations Mr. Vance and way to be a regular dude that's actually regular. Respect.
I saw an interview with him after the VP debate where he said he was nervous as hell and I was like 😳. I thought WOW! I wish I could be that articulate and appear not anxious, when I'm nervous as hell! 😂
thats how honest people talk. he is not trying to hide anything and not worried about having to tell another lie in the future to cover one in the past
This is probably the single best interview of a politician I've ever seen. The conversation was so natural and real, but so many extremely important topics were covered.
“The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution," said former Vice President Mike Pence. "Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”
@@Straightahead101 Dozens of the most accomplished and successful people in America served in Trump's cabinet. Only FOUR say he should be re-elected. Dozens say he is utterly unfit for office ... including his vice president, defense secretaries, secretaries of state...etc. etc. So what does THAT say about Trump?
As a recovering opioid addict, I have to do the exact same thing that JD’s mom has to do. I refuse the prescription for pain medicine when the doctors try to write me one. Because I’m terrified of the bottom that I was at. I never want to be in that place again. 17 years sober..!!
Here is one thing I've learned in my 44 years on this earth: Whenever I feel like I need a drink - I shouldn't drink that drink. It has never ever improved anything for me. At best it has done nothing for me - at worst it has worsened already bad situations. If you are not an addict - like I am not - drink to be happy and social ONLY! There is no situation alcohol or drugs can fix... It might make you forget for a very short while, however what you temporarily forgot will always come back to you - and sometimes 10 times as hard - and sometimes with added problems!
It’s not an issue of the feeling. It’s an issue of escape from issues and responsibilities called a vice. All humans have them alcohol and drugs just make our bodies chemically addicted to them after abuse. Making it insanely hard to quit leading to hellish nights you couldn’t dream of.
@@matthewhawthorne8411 Right - I'm not talking about the addiction itself - I'm merely stating the fairly obvious fact that drugs and alcohol doesn't fix anything. If we are talking about it in relation to addicts then it's a totally different issue for sure. The "trick" is to never associate drugs and alcohol with "the solution" to your problems to begin with. I am however well aware that this doesn't help people who are already addicted, however on the flip side of that you could say that the easiest way to not be an addict is to never start the addiction in the first place.. right? This isn't meant to be a lecture - but rather a small piece of advice warning people that it's not a path which leads anywhere good. No judgement on those who are addicted to stuff though.
So glad he did this podcast. So sick of having dinner with my family and listening to them call JD "weird" when they've never even heard him speak for more than 5 seconds. He's clearly just a normal dude just like us. He had wack parents and he played N64 with his homies and now he wants to make the world a better place. How can you hate this guy?
I have heard over last 30 years we need average Joe candidates in politics. ( lots of drunk discussions in local bars) (Average joe candidates aka people who don't look down on its people or think we are the people are dumb) Even trump is closer to average Joe american than all other politicians. "The people's president"
@@notfamouschristopherthe cognitive dissonance is wild. Trump closer to the average joe citizen? Do u mean the one who grew up in Manhattan and inherited millions of dollars worth of real estate from his father? People like u shouldn’t be able to vote.
@@notfamouschristopher And it's crazy how a billionaire can be more "average Joe" than the establishment politicians. It really tells you how strange it's all become. I've said for awhile, that politicians are essentially hiding their humanity, hiding who they really are-- because if they're not perfect, their career falls apart. That's starting to change a bit, but for a very long time that's how it was. So what we essentially got were the best scam artists, the best con artists. The people that were best at hiding their humanity, hiding their dark side. Because normal people, even good hearted decent people, fuck up from time to time. So these picture perfect politicians? That takes some high tier deceit.
I’m a Marine Vet, grew up with a mom and dad that were addicted to drugs and alcohol, both gone now, 317 days sober myself, and living in Ohio. I had heard of JD before he was selected as the VP candidate and I liked him before. I love him now. I hope to meet him and work with him my career at some point. I have also been a fan of Theo for a hot minute now and I have to say, the brave step to be real, humble, and honest about life and the things we experience as normal folk, it’s so awesome to see. This episode was so real and I am so thankful I watched.
I'm just now watching this and thankfully they won. but this was so great and you get to actually learn more about Vance and just have a great conversation. good job one of of the best interviews for sure
This changed my view on JD quite a bit. As somebody who works in the federal government it is a breath of fresh air to see a guy that is just a normal dude fighting for what he believes. Great interview!
This is better than any debate, better than any interview. Having a real sit-down like this is has built such a connections it's unreal. Absolutly must be a MUST for any political figure
Yes, 10 years ago you only saw what they wanted you to see. And that was very hard to judge on 2 min clips. Podcasts are where its at now and I'm hear for it
Aside from coming off as the least weird politician that I've seen ever, the most impressive thing to me was when Theo lost track of his thoughts, and JD was able to give a bread crumb trail to lead Theo back to his point. That shows someone who is actually listening and engaged and we do not get enough of that in politicians these days! He's setting up a case for future presidential consideration for sure.
I'm sitting here sobbing listening to him talk about his Mom's struggle with addiction. I too know the struggles o watching a loved one battle their own demons and I'm so proud to call this man our Vice President. Finally a politician who understands what this country has been dealing with on an unprecedented scale. May The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob protect President Trump and Vice President Vance and their families, protect and enlighten our countrymen. Unify us as Americans. In Jesus Christ's name Amen!!! 🙏
The F bombs might actually gain you votes dude. Its really refreshing to see a real person running for office. I think most of us are tired of the fake shit.
@@nekolexofficial8735trump is the opposite of Vance-he came from wealth unlike Vance who built his wealth, I wish Vance was running for president rather than trump
@@nekolexofficial8735i am only 23 and i know for a fact i would’ve been a democrat had i been born 20 years earlier. now, i could never align with what that party has become.
I didn’t understand the Vance VP pick initially. I thought Tulsi or Vivek would have been a better choice. But the more I hear Vance speak the more I get it. This guy is solid.
He's a better speaker than Vivek, and that's no small achievement. I can definitely see either Vivek or Vance being President in 2028, and the other being the other's VP. Vivek should either run for Governor or Vance's seat in the meantime
Same. I really like Vivek and I’ve enjoyed seeing Gabbard evolve. I remember watching her on the JRE podcast before the 2016 elections as a Democrat Presidential candidate and thinking she was really sharp, relatable and had some ideas I didn’t disagree with. I hope Trump taps into both of them when he selects his cabinet (IF he gets elected).
AFAIK some of the smartest guys in Trump's inner orbit recommended Vance. Trump was hesitant initially but listened to their advice. That's the mark of a good leader.
@@iTsGinaBby561 I still remember when he was correcting the moderator and they shut off his mic and you could still hear him correcting them in the background.
I'm not for trump l...but Jd Vance is far more likable here, than on any other platform I've seen. MSM, either extreme side...is horrible, biased, sound bite laden, and often puts people on the defensive. This format is so chill & while I don't agree with some things...this interview format, more personal, open, is so good. My impression of JD has shifted.
I read his book years ago and then listened on audiobook - he reads it. I highly recommend listening and while doing so, keep in mind he had no plans to run for office when he wrote it. So good!
Hey, I love to hear it. But right now. Look at your next 24 hours. Find out how to get there and vote. No kidding. We need the "almost voted" people. 👍👍👍💯
@@theresaproctor72I read his books years and years ago as well when I was still allowing the DNC to exploit my liberal ideals. Now as a liberal independent, I was very intrigued when I saw Vance was Trump’s VP. From what I read about JD’s life, it’s hard to imagine him not having integrity when it comes to actually helping people thrive in our country-not just financially, but in all the other ways that also matter.
I love JD Vance. There’s a reason DJT picked him. JD is the type of guy you could walk up to and have a conversation with…and he’s so relatable and down-to-earth.
I'm from the UK and man, this interview warmed me through like a nutritious homemade soup, it's so wholesome and fully American. I've never felt so proud to be an American, and I've never even been there, hahaha. Go JD!
Theo is doing more to decipher modern politics than anyone has done in the last decade. He is helping all Americans understand the system. Vote for who you want but understand how these people work.
I agree he asked some great questions, I was super interested in the “what’s the strategy for campaigning” questions. “Do you and Donald get on the phone in the morning?”
I had no clue who JD Vance was, but I really like him after watching this and his interview with Rogan. I don’t know what the next four years will bring, but as of right now, I really hope to see him run for president in 2028.
What stood out to me was how Theo was quoting Bernie over and over and JD Vance was respectful and interested and agreed where he thought Bernie was right, even though Bernie is on "the wrong side of the aisle." That's humility and intellectual honesty and I'm ready to vote Vance in 2028
JD Vance has actually had quite a few bipartisan views and bills that he's supported. I do respect that quite a bit. It's important we get past the black and white thinking in this country. Fingers crossed.
When JD spoke about the resentment and trying to desperate the memories he had with his mom while she was using really hit home for me. I started crying in my work van and had to stop and call my mom who's also clean now. Thank you so much for that dialogue, I grew up with parents and a brother who used and I'm blessed they found their way to sobriety after struggling for decades.
I’m a recovering addicted and I thank Trump for my recovery. I got clean at the end of trumps administration b/c my drug of choice was so hard to get out so expensive. If I didn’t get clean when I did, I’ would’ve been ☠️. Months after I got out of rehab, My ex dealer called me saying how Much stuff he had and the price was cut almost down by 70-80%. He said he was getting it right and left. Guess who was in office at this time 🧐. I don’t like Trump in the beginning, I was one of them, until I realized it was b/c of him he slowed down the trafficking of dope by closing The border and Biden and Kamala is the reason my ex dealer has unlimited amount of dope at Pennie’s in the dollar. Thank you Trump, I owe you my life and my future w/ my boys. Thank you so much. Right now I’m, literally, in tears thinking about how much he saved my life. Trump Is family to me. The whole time my boys and my husband were Trump supporters and I thought they were crazy. I was the one who was brainwashed, not them. Thank you Trump and I’m so sorry for not believing you when you ran the first time in 2016, but you 1000% proved yourself. Thank you for saving my life.
He's one of us man this is why the republ8can party is gaining so much traction. On the blue you got 2 compulsive liars who can't seem to tell the truth to save their life's. And then you got Trump amd JD two.of the most brutally honest people who one made himself with what his father gave him 2hich many do not do and one from a addiction environment and overcoming the stigma that comes with that and r8sing to becomes VP of the most notorious candidate this is truly a underdog story of success.
Just a reminder that the mainstream media tried to push the "he's a weird guy" angle on him. This guy is intelligent, has gone through serious life troubles, worked his way through it, and seems to hold no bitterness or extreme activist mindset and talks on many levels.
@@mikesmoth-v4w pretty sure his wife is American, from indian decent, with your logic you are not American rather a dutch. also he hasnt changed his name, you are very arrogant for a little soy boy

This is really good to hear to see JD talk about addiction. Maybe not in his life but with his mother. I was a drug addict and I gave my life to Jesus and was set free from drugs....
I am not from the US but have been extensively following US politics since 2019. This guy, along with Vivek is the most likeable politician I have ever seen.
Something interesting for you to know: Vivek Ramaswamy, who knew J.D. Vance while both were at Yale Law School, calls Vance an “an earnest guy ... somebody who was always sincere.” Ramaswamy adds: “We’ve all, in different ways, lived the American dream.”
@@mariahspapaya he's the better spoken version of Trump, they have most of the same policy positions. You should have no problem voting for Trump if you actually value policy
Lmao, now go look up the shit he tweets and says on conservative radio shows... (Remember only recently while on live national tv, when he made up that Haitian migrants -- here legally -- were eating pets in Springfield... When it was in fact only one single instance, not even in Springfield, that happened and was done by an American woman...) Vance is fucking lunatic just like Trump, just better at hiding it in front of live cameras. My older brother has been in the Marine Corps for 20 years, he and all his buddies hate his guts for doing a complete 180 on his views since he served his measly 5 years. A big part of that is the flip to sucking off trump in hopes of a position in his admin and it worked, guy got made vp... They HATE Trump's guts in the military fr. Mostly, because of the blatant bullshit lies of him being tough on China and Russia... China vastly expanded their military bases in the south China sea under Trump in preparation for their imminent invasion of Taiwan, and under Trump we were actively fighting Russian troops that ATTACKED US in 2017/18 during the Syrian civil war, and again he did nothing about it except suck up to Putin even more... Also though because of the constant disrespect, and the fact that FBI and all the military generals and leadership who worked with him, some of whom he even appointed, have ALL said / come out with reports detailing how he is an actual credible threat to our national security... TLDR: Active military personal make fun of Vance for being Trump's personal cock sucker and hate Trump for being a weak little bitch. Seriously.
Same. Think it says a lot about Theo's hosting ability where he makes people so comfortable through laughter. Contrasting the Trump vs JD interview, this totally changed my opinion on JD, where as the Trump interview showed me how Trump is exactly who we all think he is (whether that's good or bad in your eyes).
He's always been human. It's why his first book became a best seller. He's just a good, solid dude, who's had a pretty packed life already, and he has a pretty chill perspective because of all of it.
Every politician should be required to be interviewed by Theo.
Theo has said they have reach out to Harris campaign. I mean he did have Sanders on there so doesn't look like he cares which side.
He’s had Trump and Vance and they both shot the sh!t and had great conversations. I can only imagine how much of a train wreck it would be to have that weirdo Walz on here lying constantly and Kamala trying to make a complete sentence
Harris would never do it, there's no way she could speak freely for over an hour.
The ultimate rite of passage💀

You're exactly right. The journalist have a script that they have to go by It's faking phony It's not genuine it's not authentic It's not from the heart It's from HRC and has been for a very very long time.

I would not say that I like for anyone to cuss including myself and I am bad at times about having a potty mouth.My son who is 24 with Aspergers inherited that from hearing mine and we both remind each other at times that its not cool.I will say there are boundaries there and any cussing including God is off limits and happens very few and far between though.With that being said as a Christian I like for people to be authenic.Not to hide their sins and be someone they are not.None of us are perfect even though we should strive to be better every single day so I get what you are saying.He isnt trying to hide that he cusses at times and he didnt say anything too bad.Just the minor of the words that are listed in our society as being "cuss words" "curse words" which I think of as stomp my pinky toe words.He was showing himself here in a relaxed situation as just a normal guy and some needed to see this.

@@wowitsfrostygames155I do not like that he cusses, I do not like the F word or if you use God’s name in vain. That is my opinion and it kinda surprised me coming from a VP candidate.
JD understanding Theo’s humor is not something any other politician is able to do. I’m sure Theo appreciated it
JD talks well, but that's an Appalachian man thru and thru
You tell by how they relate to the family addiction crisis in Appalachia. Just bro talk and understand where each other comes from. I found it interesting them talking about the recovery programs also. James David or JD is a good man.
Makes me think of all the people who called him "weird" when he laughed at Theo jokes that go over a LOT of people's heads
You could tell theo kind of felt at home around JD.
JD seems like a cool dude.
JD- I'm not a big raisin guy. Do you like raisins?
Theo- "I mean, I like grapes that have been though something."
-Gold.
I could be wrong, but I think that was a Mitch Hedberg line/joke 🤔 Either way, Theo delivered it beautifully. Even if it WAS Mitch Hedberg, he's been gone so long, Theo could make his jokes all his and they'd be just as good today as they were 25 years ago!
Gold raisin
The fact that JD vance is talking about raisins just makes me have the biggest grin lol
I laughed so hard at that I nearly tipped my truck.
I like when people feel the need to point out that Theo doesn’t talk this way privately amongst friends “ you know that’s just a character he does on podcasts!!”
Oh, you’re telling me he’s not trying to be funny 100% of the time and has an entertaining podcast persona? Such a scandal.
Theo proudly announcing he read almost about half of JD’s book as introduction 🤣🤣🤣
😂 I was thinking the same
Can’t beat that autistic honesty 😂
@@jollyrocker789 ☺️👍
At least he was honest! Most people would lie and their talking points would have pieces of the book picked out by a writer.

He will be our next president.

When jd said "i remember growing up and thinking my mom is never going to see my children" that shit hit right at home. JD is a man of the people for sure
I had preconceived notions about Vance that were put to rest by hearing him for two hours. A testament to the power of actual conversation.
Right on. As I asked my friend (who leans left a fair amount) who told me the same thing "So, ask yourself WHY did you have those preconceptions and opinions about him? You may want to find out what else they've been lying to you about."
@@lapdawg60 No one is lying to you Vance does that himself
I definitely like his down-to-earth background and hearing about his family story. But remember, he's a charming politician. It doesn't take much to start seeing some serious flaws in what he says. For example, Trump lost the last election...and yet Vance still won't admit that in any conversation I've heard from him. Here's another...Trump had more former lobbyists in his administration than Obama. So don't buy their grift when they talk about draining the swamp.
Vance had integrity when he correctly called out Trump's issues back in the day. I don't trust this new version that can't stand firm on basic principles like the peaceful transfer of power.
@@lapdawg60 Because of the words that come out of his own mouth, the things that he refuses to answer, extreme shift in views and loss of integrity that coincidentally coincide with an increase in power.
@@wildbear2472 /sigh. Unfortunately, youtube will instantly ban any comment that would correct what you mistakenly believe about this topic. I could direct you to literally hundreds of serious, reliable sources, that prove much of the claims Vance is implicitly referring to - but again it would be instantly removed. And because of the echo chambers you have been in you have not seen those sources and those proofs which is why you believe this nonsense about the "peaceful transfer of power" and what happened with the last election. I'm sorry to say
Man Im 21 years old and my moms been going through addiction since i was in 9th grade , She’s the worst she’s ever been now drinking every day shes just not the same person but JD talking about his mom gives me hope that i havent felt in a long time , when he said he didn’t think his mom would be around to see his kids , man thats exactly how i feel right now , Dont even know why i started typing this but thanks JD for givin me some hope

God dude. Part of this hit so incredibly hard at home, and I NEVER expected that when I started this video.
“Don’t let your parents addiction be something that controls your life, too.” When I was growing up, my parents were very hardcore opioid addicts, I was born addicted to opioids. But, at one point, these were really good people. My dad was a pediatrician, graduated from John’s Hopkins, my mom was a paralegal. Brilliant people. Genuinely.
But I held alot of resentment towards my mom after my dad’s death when I was 14. I was very angry with her, and blamed her for all of my problems. Now, at 26, I see things at a worlds difference. Just from pure life experience, and then struggling with addiction and being ABLE to recover (which I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS wish that my parents had more resources. More options. My mom really lost hope after my dad died). I know so much more now, and see things 1000% differently than I ever did as a kid. She passed away when I was 19, both of my parents dying from drug related organ failure over a very short timeframe.
I am incredibly happy for JD that he got to see his mom get clean. I’m happy for his mom that she got to see the other side of life, and Did recover.
I think the way he talks about her addiction, especially when he was a kid, is just so relatable for myself personally and I’m sure so many other children of addicts.
I’m so sorry that you lost both your parents. Please know, you will be able to be reunited with them again, without addiction and pain and suffering. There is a second chance and I firmly believe that God has a huge heart for all people, but especially for the ones that suffered a ton, or are suffering a ton, while here on earth. I don’t think the church teaches that enough and why it’s important to just focus on a personal relationship with God, Jesus, away from the religion and politics of it all. Also, congratulations on your recovery, I believe you said you struggled too with addiction but overcame it? You should be proud of yourself, I’m proud of you, truly! And I know your parents are! Keep up the good work; you’re doing so well in life! ❤️💯👏👏
I honestly was not a fan of Vance until the VP debate. Now I think he's one of the best things going for Trump.
The people that didn’t see it then should definitely see it now. Dude is so real and relatable.
Why were you not a fan of JD Vance? I wish people that hate Trump and vance would ask themselves that question

I just wanted to give a big shout-out to JD Vance. Hearing about his journey with his mother’s recovery from heroin addiction really hit home for me. His compassion and understanding around addiction show that he truly gets what it’s like for families dealing with these struggles. It’s rare to see a leader who speaks from personal experience with so much empathy and insight. Knowing that he’s out there advocating for those who’ve been through it makes me feel so much more hopeful. JD, thank you for standing up for us and showing that recovery is possible. You’ve got my respect and support!

JD Vance is bankrolled by Peter Thiel who founded Palantir, a big data analytic software whose only contract for the first seven years of its existence was the CIA. They now work with every intelligence agency in America such as the NSA and FBI, so that these agencies can purchase privately-collected data from Palantir to domestically spy on US citizens. Palantir also provides Israel with proprietary AI software called "Lavender," that determines where Israel should drop their bombs on Gaza, many times resulting in civilian casualties.
If you're a conservative, you should be asking yourself, "do I really want the next-up candidate for President of the United States to be someone with deep ties to the intelligence community?" Are these really principles that you should support? How did we get to this point where these are our two best options?
How did Vance go from serving in a Senate seat in 2023, which was bought and paid for by Peter Thiel, to being a Vice President nominee in 2024? Does this seem organic to you? Is Peter Thiel praying for a war with Iran so that Palantir's services can be broadened, increasing its overall value while increasing his net worth? Why would he bankroll Vance to the tune of $15,000,000 if not for some ulterior motive? Vance certainly seems hawkish on going to war with Iran, given his remarks about "hitting Iran hard." All of the details above should concern you, regardless of your party affiliation.

This guy could not be more likable and relatable.
That's what the left hates the most, 'normal' white dudes! They can't stand anything not queer or quirky, especially in power!! Which is why they have to say he is weird.
100%
Yeah I’m thinking he would be a good presidential candidate…
I was skeptical about Vance, and I mean VERY skeptical, but he's solid. Is he perfect? Hell nah. Needs to be tougher, more aggressive, at least in my opinion. But he is HANDS DOWN the most relatable person of the 4 running for the executive branch. Ol boy has a promising future in politics if he does the right things for the people
Theo? Yeah, he’s awesome!
The fact that Vance and Trump can just sit down on extended formats and just chill out and laugh. You can tell they’re real and not fake.
Trump didn't laugh at theos best jokes
Can you imagine Kameleon and Timpon?
I was just saying this. They are very relaxed and not rehearsed where Kamala is like a robot stuck to talking points and not relaxed at all.
It’s a beautiful thing
@@MaxBurntthere personalitys are a little too different. Diddnt watch this one yet but i feel like younger vance will get theos humor more
JD is a conversationalist. Dude can hold a conversation and be himself and its so refreshing.
This seems to be the most genuine person I’ve ever seen in politics… F the mainstream media
Mass deportations, restricting woman's rights, putting people in key positions to subvert future elections, increasing American isolation - allowing China to take over the US economy. All very normal. Go do independent research.
Do u think u can judge a politicians character from a 2 hour video?
@@1parker23 I bet if the OP had come to the conclusion that JD was weird after watching this 2 hour video, you wouldn't have made this comment.
@@chrisfuller2069 judging any politician on how they present themselves to the public is silly. That’s literally their job
@@1parker23 "judging any politician on how they present themselves to the public is silly. That’s literally their job"
That makes no sense. Judging a politician on how they do their job is silly? I'm not even agreeing or disagreeing with you on this one, I genuinely have no idea what point you are trying to make.
Either way, Im confident you came here to throw shade on JD Vance, not shade people who form an opinion from watching youtube videos in general, since that would be silly of you.
I honestly didn't hear JD Vance speak for more than 5 seconds before this interview. And I'm thoroughly impressed by his openness, empathy, and relatibilty.
I hope the American people see through the smoke and mirrors and vote for people who truly love America.
He is the most liked politician in the world right now. Or at least he will be very soon. He's the most transparent, honest, down to Earth politician in history. Trump is a genius for picking him, because Trump could have picked several others, but he picked Vance, even though people didn't think it was the best choice at the time.
you should watch the joe rogan interview of jd vance from a few days ago, it was phenomenal.
@@iamzid I watched him on Rogan and Tim right after!
I’m so glad y’all are seeing this about JD because the media are horrible liars and the Biden / Harris administration. They have to lie because they have no good policies!
Yeah. I found it weird when Walz called him weird. He is the most regular American that has run on a major presidential platform in a long time. Regular Americans have a dark complex history, and some contradictory views. We all have the relative that went too hard into drugs, it is refreshing to hear about actual struggle.
No idea about his policies though. I heard that he likes Lina Kahn’s policies in the FTC, which is objectively insane. Normal people have ideas that are a little off the wall too.
“hes just so weird” -literally people who have never heard JD talk for more than 5 seconds
Seriously, such a normal dude. It's so strange that that whole "weird" thing gained traction...coming from Tim Walz of all people
If those people call you weird it’s a good thing
It was childish character assassination. When you forgo a primary, get caught lying about the sitting President's mental health, and install a very unlikeable candidate, you have to distract people.
The weirdest mfs in the US are the only ones saying that.
The same guy who called Trump Hitler and unqualified to be president.. are you that easily won? Hahahaa
Im thankful for JDs existence. This is gonna be the greatest 12 years Golden era here we come
I'm not personally a huge fan of Trump/Vance, watching from Australia. But I hope that their success means that the Democrats have to pull out an actual populist leader, instead of continually trying these establishment dummies. I'm also glad that Vance seems to debate like a normal politician, which would hopefully mean you lot will return to choosing candidates with a little more respect, like Vance... Fingers crossed though, since Trump's first win didn't send any shockwaves in the Democratic party, we'll have to see if JD will be challenged by a competant and genuine left-wing candidate, unlike Ms Harris who could only repeat the same 5 sentences every time she appeared and is more conservative than our centre right party in Australia. IDK if the next 4 years are gonna be a golden age for the US like you expect, from the outside Trump gives off the vibe of a Herbert Hoover more than he does an FDR. I think JD is gonna be challenged by a fierce and ambitious opponent akin to FDR (the metaphor makes even more sense considering WWIII is just around the corner, whether Trump says he can prevent it or not, its coming).
@@jackjohnston_jj2004its insane that youre from australia, can admit you dont like the current republican team but still recognize the cess pool of people democrats chose from. admirable
I love the fact that JD is waving his handlers off and letting them know that he'll leave when he's ready
Handlers are only for Democrats
And the fact that theo had to end the podcast was even better!
JD is the kinda man I don’t think we’ve seen in politics in many decades. Once you get a sense of where he came from and try to wrap your head around where he’s gotten himself to as a man, Dad, Husband, etc -100% this is the type of unwavering down to earth humble guy we need as representation in the District of Corruption
Absolutely..I'm not ignorant enough to think any of them are completely straight..you have to be some type of way to make it that far in politics but I know we would be in the best hands with him and Trump
Read his book, “Hillbilly Elegy.” This guy had it ROUGH in his upbringing. True success story.
Vance is the definition of corruption. He's a stooge of Peter Theal.
I would vote for him for president but not trump
He's like Trump...very relatable. I can't see Kamala doing an interview like this one. If she had a real conversation with Theo, she would be exposed. Same for Rogan,
Me; "Mooooom the weird guy is on Theo Von...
Mom: "What is he sayin'"
Me; "normal sh*t, a really cool guy"
Lmaooo 😂
Truly
I'm also LMFAO
I just wanted to congratulate Theo von for this podcast and trumps podcast. You took no sides and asked excellent questions about real issues that nobody thought you were capable of doing. You proved all the haters wrong
As a conservative, I'm so stoked that JD Vance was the VP pick. He will make an effing great President in 5 years.
Great pick by Junior
He is great for sure. I still prefer Vivek though.
He’s too straight edge for me to trust him fully
@@Hunter-Bidennlol what does this mean
@@Hunter-Bidennwho is less straight edge that you would support
I lived near where he grew up. My mom met him when he was running and he was so kind to her. He truly has the heart and soul to become a great politician. One who actually TRULY cares
❤
I like jd so much after this interview. He seems like such a normal guy just sitting down having a real conversation. He’s not selling the election. He’s not going after opponents. He’s not selling high hopes. He’s just there cussing and having a real conversation about life.
💯
He is the smart kid from a rough family everyone knew in school that actually achieved his goals.
Right? I didn’t like him at all before and after that I was like shit he is actually cool as hell. And I was watching him like a hawk for 2 hours and he was genuine as you can get I feel like. Maybe I’m an idiot
@@DirtBikePastranahis running mate is the idiot.
All Americans want is a President who loves America instead of a globalist agent installed to transfer all wealth out, then destroy America from the top-down domestically and internationally using a stolen office with Covid bills- generating fiat, an all-out invasion of the hordes- generating fiat, supply chain disruption both generally AND during national disasters, World War 3- generating fiat, and LIES. These people in power now ARE THE ENEMY, NOT RUSSIA!
The part about resenting your addict parent is so accurate. I've experienced that and he is so right about having an open heart. I love this man!
We were gaslighted to think that this guy is “weird”. I’m only 20 min in to watching this, and he seems like such a chill guy.
Just stop watching Communist MSM!
Just stop watching MSM your mind will be much clearer!
Your mind will be much clearer if you stop watching the MSM!
Thats politics my friend.
US media is like North Korean levels of propaganda.
I really respect that Theo ended with his closing words supporting JD's mother's sobriety.
It was a beautiful interview that we need to help go viral! The things that were talked about are incredibly real for so many people and the conversation between Theo and JD was so REAL! I know that this conversation can help millions of people find hope and happiness and healing. So Let’s share this video and do our part to Make America REAL Again!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Theo is so sweet
JD doesn't give two shits about drug abuse.
@@hi2u2sirsure, bud
That was really nice Theo said that. This was a great interview with two good guys.
Mad respect for Theo referring to JD as "A Marine", not in the past tense as so many do
Indeed. As a Brother Marine myself and I will be until the day I die. And JD will be my brother for life. I am not a was a Marine I is a Marine and I am58 years old. 8 years in the Marine Corps 1984-1992 Grunt 0311 4 years Combat Engineer 1371 4 years. Up above someone made a comment about one day he may be President. I am going to go out on a ledge and say one day this guy will be the President. Mr. Trump only can do 4 years so Here comes JD. We need a Jarhead up there in that Big White house we all own. My tax money going to pay his salary as President would be my Honor. And he talks just like a regular American Jarhead. (yes I can call him that because I are one also) You hear the F Bomb from time to time and he is a Christian. I am also a Christian not Catlick. But a Christian and that F-bomb everyone thinks is so terrible. Well you dont ever want to set and talk to me because I use it very frequently. In fact the actual word the F-bomb stands for with a photo of Biden is on the back of my truck. The Supreme court has determined back in the Vietnam era when a guy wore a jacket into a federal courthouse with Fuc* Vietnam on the back and the supreme court ruled it is covered by free speech. My bible does not say there is anything about the F-bomb Man has made the word a bad word. and I dont really care. People used to say using the word shows your intelligence so like if JD uses it that is how intelligent I would love to be. Along with Elon Musk. I have heard it come out in almost every podcast so yea.
I've watched only the Donald Trump interview and now JD Vance and I'm becoming a fan of Theo Von. What a solid guy.
The more I hear JD Vance the more I really like him. I hope the future of politics has more people like him
JD and Vivek I have recently found, and come to ENJOY hearing their insight and getting to know them. Absolute GEMS.
I’ve grown to be big fans of JD and Vivek
Make sure you vote!!! We can put people like him in office as the VP and then the presidency!
He's a charismatic racist. Cool.

I find it hilarious that a couple weeks ago I was talking to my mother because she had just finished reading the book hillbilly elegy. She was going on about how she swears she changed the diapers of the author when he was a kid. She's about the same age as Vance's mother and remembers her quite well because she lived a block down the road from them and can remember her bringing over her little son whenever she would come hang out. My mother does not follow politics in the slightest and when I mentioned to her that that's literally the guy that's running for vice president for the Republicans she died laughing. She had no idea that she's changed the diapers of what is probably going to be our future president in 2028 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's a wholesome lie 😊
It's just for laughs
@@Michealschatbox I wish I was joking about that LOL
I thought she was bullshiting with me at first but she's dead serious that she swears she's changed his diapers as a baby.
no way... thats just too good to be true 😂
Get her to register to vote and go vote❤
Get her to vote!!!
Well now, I finally get around to watching this interview and it just so happens this man is now the 50th Vice-President elect of the United States. Congratulations Mr. Vance and way to be a regular dude that's actually regular. Respect.
Jd is one of the smoothest speakers I’ve ever seen. He just talks so naturally with not a hint of anxiety or worry.
Right!
I saw an interview with him after the VP debate where he said he was nervous as hell and I was like 😳. I thought WOW! I wish I could be that articulate and appear not anxious, when I'm nervous as hell! 😂
thats how honest people talk. he is not trying to hide anything and not worried about having to tell another lie in the future to cover one in the past
This is probably the single best interview of a politician I've ever seen.
The conversation was so natural and real, but so many extremely important topics were covered.
I liked Theo with Pres. Trump. Great interview
“The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution," said former Vice President Mike Pence. "Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”

Dozens say he is utterly unfit for office ... including his vice president, defense secretaries, secretaries of state...etc. etc. So what does THAT say about Trump?
As a recovering opioid addict, I have to do the exact same thing that JD’s mom has to do. I refuse the prescription for pain medicine when the doctors try to write me one. Because I’m terrified of the bottom that I was at. I never want to be in that place again. 17 years sober..!!

Wow 17 years! That's amazing. Keep it going 👍.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Keep going strong!!!!
6 years off H. was addicted for 15.
17 years is incredible!!! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. 11 months myself.
Here is one thing I've learned in my 44 years on this earth:
Whenever I feel like I need a drink - I shouldn't drink that drink. It has never ever improved anything for me. At best it has done nothing for me - at worst it has worsened already bad situations.
If you are not an addict - like I am not - drink to be happy and social ONLY! There is no situation alcohol or drugs can fix... It might make you forget for a very short while, however what you temporarily forgot will always come back to you - and sometimes 10 times as hard - and sometimes with added problems!
It’s not an issue of the feeling. It’s an issue of escape from issues and responsibilities called a vice. All humans have them alcohol and drugs just make our bodies chemically addicted to them after abuse. Making it insanely hard to quit leading to hellish nights you couldn’t dream of.
@@matthewhawthorne8411 Right - I'm not talking about the addiction itself - I'm merely stating the fairly obvious fact that drugs and alcohol doesn't fix anything. If we are talking about it in relation to addicts then it's a totally different issue for sure. The "trick" is to never associate drugs and alcohol with "the solution" to your problems to begin with. I am however well aware that this doesn't help people who are already addicted, however on the flip side of that you could say that the easiest way to not be an addict is to never start the addiction in the first place.. right? This isn't meant to be a lecture - but rather a small piece of advice warning people that it's not a path which leads anywhere good. No judgement on those who are addicted to stuff though.
@@Craider79 people don’t take drugs and alcohol to fix problems they drink and take drugs to avoid problems so they don’t have to deal with them
So glad he did this podcast. So sick of having dinner with my family and listening to them call JD "weird" when they've never even heard him speak for more than 5 seconds. He's clearly just a normal dude just like us. He had wack parents and he played N64 with his homies and now he wants to make the world a better place. How can you hate this guy?
I have heard over last 30 years we need average Joe candidates in politics. ( lots of drunk discussions in local bars)
(Average joe candidates aka people who don't look down on its people or think we are the people are dumb)
Even trump is closer to average Joe american than all other politicians.
"The people's president"
@@notfamouschristopherthe cognitive dissonance is wild. Trump closer to the average joe citizen? Do u mean the one who grew up in Manhattan and inherited millions of dollars worth of real estate from his father? People like u shouldn’t be able to vote.
@@notfamouschristopher And it's crazy how a billionaire can be more "average Joe" than the establishment politicians. It really tells you how strange it's all become. I've said for awhile, that politicians are essentially hiding their humanity, hiding who they really are-- because if they're not perfect, their career falls apart. That's starting to change a bit, but for a very long time that's how it was. So what we essentially got were the best scam artists, the best con artists. The people that were best at hiding their humanity, hiding their dark side. Because normal people, even good hearted decent people, fuck up from time to time. So these picture perfect politicians? That takes some high tier deceit.

@@vividvenom7299 I would advise trying not to be so cynical in your life. Just some advice

I have also been a fan of Theo for a hot minute now and I have to say, the brave step to be real, humble, and honest about life and the things we experience as normal folk, it’s so awesome to see.

@@electricjellyfish375 word!
Aside from coming off as the least weird politician that I've seen ever, the most impressive thing to me was when Theo lost track of his thoughts, and JD was able to give a bread crumb trail to lead Theo back to his point. That shows someone who is actually listening and engaged and we do not get enough of that in politicians these days!
He's setting up a case for future presidential consideration for sure.
“Uhhh toothpaste back in the tube “😂😂
My thoughts precisely! Very impressive.
I'm sitting here sobbing listening to him talk about his Mom's struggle with addiction. I too know the struggles o watching a loved one battle their own demons and I'm so proud to call this man our Vice President.

Exactly the opposite is true for Harris & her vp pick. It’s wild! My mom has TDS & said she can’t vote for KH
Theo Von is a unicorn of a human being: he's incredibly insightful and, at the same time, says things that leave me wheezing.
I didn’t understand the Vance VP pick initially. I thought Tulsi or Vivek would have been a better choice. But the more I hear Vance speak the more I get it. This guy is solid.
He's a better speaker than Vivek, and that's no small achievement. I can definitely see either Vivek or Vance being President in 2028, and the other being the other's VP.
Vivek should either run for Governor or Vance's seat in the meantime
Same. I really like Vivek and I’ve enjoyed seeing Gabbard evolve. I remember watching her on the JRE podcast before the 2016 elections as a Democrat Presidential candidate and thinking she was really sharp, relatable and had some ideas I didn’t disagree with. I hope Trump taps into both of them when he selects his cabinet (IF he gets elected).
AFAIK some of the smartest guys in Trump's inner orbit recommended Vance. Trump was hesitant initially but listened to their advice. That's the mark of a good leader.

I read his book years ago and then listened on audiobook - he reads it. I highly recommend listening and while doing so, keep in mind he had no plans to run for office when he wrote it. So good!

Welcome
Theo is doing more to decipher modern politics than anyone has done in the last decade. He is helping all Americans understand the system. Vote for who you want but understand how these people work.
I agree he asked some great questions, I was super interested in the “what’s the strategy for campaigning” questions. “Do you and Donald get on the phone in the morning?”
I think it says a lot that Trump and JD have been willing to come on his podcast and have a genuine unscripted conversation and the other side hasn't.
Honestly this one is top 5 interviews. What a wholesome conversation
I had no clue who JD Vance was, but I really like him after watching this and his interview with Rogan. I don’t know what the next four years will bring, but as of right now, I really hope to see him run for president in 2028.
What stood out to me was how Theo was quoting Bernie over and over and JD Vance was respectful and interested and agreed where he thought Bernie was right, even though Bernie is on "the wrong side of the aisle." That's humility and intellectual honesty and I'm ready to vote Vance in 2028
JD Vance has actually had quite a few bipartisan views and bills that he's supported. I do respect that quite a bit. It's important we get past the black and white thinking in this country. Fingers crossed.
Look at your schedule across the last 24 hours. Carve out a time to vote. No kidding. Get out there. 👍💯👍
Yeah the more I hear this guy the more I like him, seems real down to earth
Vote now too!
When JD spoke about the resentment and trying to desperate the memories he had with his mom while she was using really hit home for me. I started crying in my work van and had to stop and call my mom who's also clean now. Thank you so much for that dialogue, I grew up with parents and a brother who used and I'm blessed they found their way to sobriety after struggling for decades.
I'm happy for you that everything has gotten better, your family is in our blessings and prayers
hell yeah man. stay blessed
I’m a recovering addicted and I thank Trump for my recovery. I got clean at the end of trumps administration b/c my drug of choice was so hard to get out so expensive. If I didn’t get clean when I did, I’ would’ve been ☠️. Months after I got out of rehab, My ex dealer called me saying how Much stuff he had and the price was cut almost down by 70-80%. He said he was getting it right and left. Guess who was in office at this time 🧐. I don’t like Trump in the beginning, I was one of them, until I realized it was b/c of him he slowed down the trafficking of dope by closing The border and Biden and Kamala is the reason my ex dealer has unlimited amount of dope at Pennie’s in the dollar. Thank you Trump, I owe you my life and my future w/ my boys. Thank you so much. Right now I’m, literally, in tears thinking about how much he saved my life. Trump Is family to me. The whole time my boys and my husband were Trump supporters and I thought they were crazy. I was the one who was brainwashed, not them.
Thank you Trump and I’m so sorry for not believing you when you ran the first time in 2016, but you 1000% proved yourself. Thank you for saving my life.
My boys would appreciate this podcast, as well. I’m their mom and I’m a recovering addict as well.
God bless them glad they are winning
JD being brutally open about his Mom gained my respect ❤
Watch the movie or listen to his audio book. It’s so good
He's one of us man this is why the republ8can party is gaining so much traction. On the blue you got 2 compulsive liars who can't seem to tell the truth to save their life's. And then you got Trump amd JD two.of the most brutally honest people who one made himself with what his father gave him 2hich many do not do and one from a addiction environment and overcoming the stigma that comes with that and r8sing to becomes VP of the most notorious candidate this is truly a underdog story of success.
@@ghsclassof8971love the movie ❤
Hillbilly Elegy on Netflix is an absolute must watch. The impact it has after seeing how far he has come is honestly very moving.
And will he do anything to the people making the opioid crisis?? Nope!
JD's swearing makes him seem waaaay more down to earth. I love it.
Just a reminder that the mainstream media tried to push the "he's a weird guy" angle on him.
This guy is intelligent, has gone through serious life troubles, worked his way through it, and seems to hold no bitterness or extreme activist mindset and talks on many levels.
We can’t trust anything the msm says anymore! They are all in for the democrat machine!
He is weird , he has changed his name multiple times married an indian , his sons name is vivesh
@@mikesmoth-v4w pretty sure his wife is American, from indian decent, with your logic you are not American rather a dutch. also he hasnt changed his name, you are very arrogant for a little soy boy
@@mikesmoth-v4wwhat’s the problem with that
@@nolanblakeley5911 Well considering trump has run his whole canpaign for white chrsitians why would he pick somene that has no vested interest in yhe future of white america?
This is really good to hear to see JD talk about addiction. Maybe not in his life but with his mother. I was a drug addict and I gave my life to Jesus and was set free from drugs....
That’s amazing congratulations! Do you have a good support group to hold you accountable?
@@Heezydoesit167 Yeah. It's called the " I don't wanna burn in hell for all eternity" club. You scared? Wanna join?
@@TheDanMonster that’s quite a strange way to add to the conversation…
@@TheDanMonsteryou suck SO BAD
God bless you. Yes- you WERE a drug addict. I WAS an alcoholic. Now I am saved and born again, no longer chained to demons of addiction. We are free.

🤣🤣🤣
The best response! 😂
We’ll never know if he’s serious or not 😂
I get why your podcast is so popular, Theo. You are so incredibly likable here. I was already a fan of JD. Now I'm a fan of yours as well 😊
I am not from the US but have been extensively
following US politics since 2019. This guy, along with Vivek is the most likeable politician I have ever seen.
Something interesting for you to know: Vivek Ramaswamy, who knew J.D. Vance while both were at Yale Law School, calls Vance an “an earnest guy ... somebody who was always sincere.”
Ramaswamy adds: “We’ve all, in different ways, lived the American dream.”
So you like how he says women should stay in abusive relationships? Cool. Raped kids should have their rapists baby. Cool
They are genuinely two great people. If this were 1776, they very likely would have been signing the Declaration.
I wish he was the republican candidate instead of trump. I would vote for him easily
@@mariahspapaya he's the better spoken version of Trump, they have most of the same policy positions. You should have no problem voting for Trump if you actually value policy
Theo's guest list been goin crazy
President Harris will be next
Theo is linin' them up!
@@Shrewdy1 let's go Harris
@@MAkAVeLlIiii TRUMP/VANCE 2024 let's fvckin GOOOOOO!!!?
I think you mean "Weird"!
This totally humanized JD for me. Thank you for having all these diverse guests.
Don’t be fooled. Trump and Vance are charming and charismatic but very dangerous
Lmao, now go look up the shit he tweets and says on conservative radio shows...
(Remember only recently while on live national tv, when he made up that Haitian migrants -- here legally -- were eating pets in Springfield...
When it was in fact only one single instance, not even in Springfield, that happened and was done by an American woman...)
Vance is fucking lunatic just like Trump, just better at hiding it in front of live cameras. My older brother has been in the Marine Corps for 20 years, he and all his buddies hate his guts for doing a complete 180 on his views since he served his measly 5 years. A big part of that is the flip to sucking off trump in hopes of a position in his admin and it worked, guy got made vp... They HATE Trump's guts in the military fr. Mostly, because of the blatant bullshit lies of him being tough on China and Russia... China vastly expanded their military bases in the south China sea under Trump in preparation for their imminent invasion of Taiwan, and under Trump we were actively fighting Russian troops that ATTACKED US in 2017/18 during the Syrian civil war, and again he did nothing about it except suck up to Putin even more... Also though because of the constant disrespect, and the fact that FBI and all the military generals and leadership who worked with him, some of whom he even appointed, have ALL said / come out with reports detailing how he is an actual credible threat to our national security...
TLDR: Active military personal make fun of Vance for being Trump's personal cock sucker and hate Trump for being a weak little bitch. Seriously.
Same. Think it says a lot about Theo's hosting ability where he makes people so comfortable through laughter. Contrasting the Trump vs JD interview, this totally changed my opinion on JD, where as the Trump interview showed me how Trump is exactly who we all think he is (whether that's good or bad in your eyes).
JD Vance is like this all the time. It's good more people are able to see it now though. Theo is great.
He's always been human. It's why his first book became a best seller. He's just a good, solid dude, who's had a pretty packed life already, and he has a pretty chill perspective because of all of it.
I watched this 3 weeks late.. damn that was a good and real interview. I can see how these interviews really excelled the Trump/Vance campaign.
