Did you watch Loose Women? They did. I was gonna be on it, but we didn't need the publicity because we sold all the tickets. Right. Yeah. I did a show just like the view, but it's called They don't do what we do. No, they don't do what we do, but it's the only show that it really's women' centric where it's four or five women talking about different stuff. And it's great we always we have been trying for years to do an exchange program to have them come here to the States and Usco over there semester abroad . Also, you know what, there's a lot of I noticed a lot of sports are going on . Yes. Well, when I was in Paris, it was the French open and they won. That's right. And they were going crazy . They arrested seven hundred people because they went so berserk . Then there was the World Cup which also shows up. I'll show you the World Cup I just Brian's like, what is woman? This woman what is the best president of the United States has joined you . You came in hot and with no filter. Listen she's joy. The Europeans are much looser like this woman. But we're glad you're back. By the way, so you know the World Cup is going on in the United States. Yes. Oh, it is too. Yes. And you know the next tour of I know all about the next as it turns out Joy , you're not the only person given the UK culture shock . British Prime Minister Kare Starmer just announced a sweeping change in the country's social media policy. Take a look . Thousands of parents say their children are addicted to social media. It can leave them trapped in a cycle of endless scrolling that displaces play , sleep , and time with the family . It can harm their mental health. That is why today the government has decided to ban social media access for children under sixteen . Now spokespeople spoken Spokespeople for Snapchat, Meta and YouTube have stated that the ban may push teens to anonymous services that are less safe . You know, I don't know what any of these services have done to make them more safe. So I don't know that they're not already dealing with these other services, but can this work here? It sure can, and it should. So anyone that hasn't read Jonathan Heights Histeneration, it's the first read you should make. He spoke to all of this, which inspired the wife of a politician in Australia to be the first country to implement these policies protecting our young people. What infuriates me is last week the U. S. embassy in London tried to dissuade the UK from doing this because they were worried it would stop up the tech companies. To me, that is literally protecting tech billionaires over the innocence and goodness of our young children and we can do better. And what Shanakan Tite points out in his book, all of these major tech CEOs do not let their own children on these apps . they Be knowcause these algorithms are skewed to make them addicted. They have huge impacts on mental health, body image, suicidal ideation, horrible horror. The stats are profound. Florida is doing this though. Florida has got Florida is getting a number of other states in Nebraska is looking at it. I love seeing this at the state level. sixteen should be the minimum. I think you should need parental control to be able to get on. It's about protecting kids mental health. I agree with it on the state level. I think we should have it here on a national level. I think there's no question that the evidence supports some measures like this. And I will say what I also appreciate about the UK ban is that it bans kids from interacting with strangers online. And that is stranger danger in the current form. And so I applaud the Brits for doing it. And I hope we bring that here to the United States I reason, I agree with all of that. But I think it has to be a comp rehensive holistic approach. I think parents need to be involved. Schools need to be involved. Government need to be involved. And I think these social media platform sites that are being liable in some legal cases also have to acknowledge what their responsibility and role is and also be part of the solution . Well, it's always a problem if you act like you don't know what we're talking about . When you deny that there is an issue . You have to cop to the fact that there is an issue and we can fix it . But because they will not acknowledge their part in this , it makes it very hard to do. So we'll be fighting this for a little while, but I'm glad somebody did it. And when we come back, we will be back with the vice president of the United States, JD Vance . Today I want to tell you about our friends at Cozy Earth.

And we have been asking our next guest to join us for a while now. So we're glad that he's t aken us up on the offer today. Please welcome author of the new book Communion Finding My Back to Faith, the Vice President of the United States JD Vance I'm so trified at how tall you are. If you only see somebody on TV, you just see their in my case giant heads. Hides how tall I am. That's right. We are the we are the table of big heads here . So this is a show of Maga Republicans , right? That's why my media team formed . Okay . Good. Well , we'll find out . I think you have the first question, Olysa. Yes, mister Vice President, thank you for being with us. Now you came into office with clear momentum, but when I talk to my friends and family who supported you and the president and still support you and the president , one issue comes up time and time again and it's the economy. Inflation's up, wages are down, gas prices are starting to drop at news of this Iran deal, which we will get to. What can you say to voters who trusted you to lower costs on day one and will they be satisfied by November? Well, I think that's ultimately up to the voters, right? I think voters have every right to expect as much as possible out of their elected representatives. We certainly know that we were elected on a number of mandates. One was to close the border, which I think we've done successfully, exceeded expectations there. Number two was to lower prices and there's a lot of work to do in part in large part because of what's happened over the last few months in the Middle East. But as you said, oil, which got up to one hundred and twenty dollars a barrel now is at eighty dollars a barrel. That's going to be reflected in lower fuel, lower food, lower energy prices. But there's a lot more work to do. The thing that I'm proudest about most because as some of you may know, I grew up in one of these towns that was forgotten by the leaders in Washington and both parties is that you're seeing that's Middletown, Ohio. That's my home town in Southwestern Ohio. It was a proud steel town. I was raised by a grandfather who was a union steel worker is that those jobs disappeared, those factories closed down. The thing that I'm most excited about is you do see a large amount of capital investment coming into our country . Factories being built, construction jobs are way up, manufacturing jobs are starting to catch up. So there's a lot more work to do. I think that we're making progress, but ultimately, we're going to make our pitch to the voters in November and they're the ones who get to decide whether we've done a good job or not, and that's how they're going to vote. Okay . So President Trump has called affordability a hoax . He said that, not me. He's pouring money into this bowl room of his and the reflecting pool , oh, don't forget the Arch Trump , I call it , and a white cage, a White House cage match. All these things , why is he doing them when you just, everybody knows that Americans are struggling. What is he spending all this money for? Well, I got to defend the president on the hoax point. What the president said is the idea that Republicans cause the affordability problem is a hoax. And I think that's true. If you go back to the Biden administr ation, inflation got up to nine percent under the Biden administration. Okay. Right now it's at three point five percent. By the way, too high. We're doing everything that we can to bring it back down to two point five percent, which is where most people would like to see it. But we inherited an affordability problem. We're doing a lot to make it better. It's going to take a little bit of time. There's a lot more work to do. But the president knows that a lot of Americans are struggling. In fact, he ran on that, he talked about it, and we've done some things and made some good progress on that point. He loves the inflation . What he said, Anna, what he said is that he loves the fact that the inflation is going to come down when this war is over. That's what he said. Are you an interpreter or you his vice president ? Well, look, look, what the president said people were asking about the inflation. They were asking about the affordability problem, which again is very real. And what he said is, I love the inflation because it's going to come down when the war is over. And now, again, we already see gas prices, gas prices today, four dollars six cents a gallon too high, but way down from where they were just a couple of weeks ago. So there's a lot of again, there's a lot we got to do, but I think that we're doing as much as we can. We're going to keep on working at it. And again, the American people are going to make their verdict, but I think that we have a very credible case to run on that brought a we lot of new investment. We're building the factories. That is going to pay serious dividends for the American people over the long haul. When Joe, if you look at if you look at manufacturing jobs , those jobs are inc reasing at a large number. Construction jobs are doing a little bit better. So what happens is the construction jobs to build the factories and then the manufacturing workers go back to work. That also leads to rising wages. That's one of the things that I'm very proud of is if you look at the amount that wages are going up now compared to say twenty twenty two, they're going up way faster. That's a good thing. You know, the affordability problem. Again, gas way too high right now, certain things way too high. You know, rents have been either flat or down for twelve months now. So there are things that are showing signs of life, things that are showing signs of progress. My view, I'm sure you guys don't agree with it, is that we inherited a mess and we're fixing it. But sometimes it takes a long time to fix a mess. Sonny. Okay. Mr. Vice President, according to a new report from the New York Times, you were the leading voice behind the scenes to release the Epstein files, and we applaud you for that. And you warned top officials, including top DOJ officials at strategy meetings taking place inside the situation room . We understand that there are tapes of those meetings that this was a huge problem for the base . The report says you even floated having Tucker Carlson interview Galaine Maxwell to clear the president's name, but you were rebuffed by your people. Why? Well, I'd say first of all, don't believe everything that you read in any newspaper, whether it's a right leaning paper or a left leaning paper because as you guys know, well, there are things that are true, things that are false, and things that are totally missing context. Well, here's what I'll say . So number one, I am, frankly, kind of a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff, and that story says that. That's one of the things that's true is that some people called me a conspiracy theory the Epstein stuff. And I love Susie. But absolutely. She thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff because I think that it's crazy that you had this guy who is clearly a sex predator who was hanging out with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people. Like that really bothered me. I don't know what's there, of course. Nobody knows exactly what happened unless you were there, but that really bothered me. And I wanted to have full transparency. What I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn't committed to full transparency. We have to remember like I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, the one that the president signed, the one that led to all these files that were seeing the emails. By the way, again, sorry, I do have to defend my boss. I know you guys don't always appreciate this. But you know, one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police. That's one of the things that they were best friends for about a decade . And remember, he signed that transparency act under duress when some Republican women, Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure of not signing. Lauren Boebert into the situ ation room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill. So let me respond to that. So it's all true. Let me respond to that. So number one is, yes, Donald Trump, but he said this. He knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the nineteen eighties. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out it was a creep and reported him to the police. That's something that the media often misses when it reports the story. They tell the fact that they knew each other in the eighties, which the president himself admits, they ignore the fact that he knarked on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein's downfall. To that point, Anna, you know, the Republican Party well, it's one of the things that led to law enforcement investigation, but on the point that you made was allegedly over a real estate deal that they had got into a fight over. But the email says the email says actually know each other. Let's just be truthful and transparent here. They didn't just know each other. They didn't know they were incredibly closed friends. He reported him to the police. That's what I'm saying. That is objective that is objectively true. Animated animated animated another point that I think will be if I may. Animated a very important point. This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans ? And Annie, you know the Republican Party probably better than I do, the idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican Congressman as opposed to the other way around is kind of crazy. Republicans but because the Republicans control the House and the Senate, particularly the Senate, you need the Republican sign off. What the president did is look, I will say this, again, I was in there in the meetings. He was very frustrated that the Democrats were making this about him. When he's like, look, I threw the guy out of my club. I am the guy who reported him to the police or one of the people who reported him to the police. The president was frustrated about that. Absolutely. But he eventually came to say, you know what? Let's just get everything out there. Let's have this out in the public. And he actually called the Senders. I was there. He called the Senders and said, You know what? Pass this bill, I'll sign it and that was let me follow up briefly. Let me let me follow up briefly. Yes. It sounds like you believed that there would be men in the files who would be held accountable . Rightfully so. And the American people are with you on this. Why haven't we seen the release of over two point five million additional Epstein file documents . It seems like you are someone that is on the right side of history on this. So we have released, I think it's six million files or six million pages of documents. My understanding is the two point five million Sunny. I'm going to check on this to make sure, but my understanding is that a lot of those are duplicates of things that have already been released. We're not holding anything back. Some of those things are like the courts have to order you to release them. So that was one thing that we confronted. You talk about these situation in room meetings is there was there was a big bunch of files that existed, I think in the southern district of New York or maybe it was it was some other jurisdiction. But we were like , We want to release these files, but you need the court approval in order to release the files. Sometimes we would apply to release the files and the courts would say no. So those particular documents, I would need to actually know exactly what you're talking about. And a half billion documents were released, and my understanding is two point five million have not been released. Those may have been the ones that are under court too. I don't know what the documents you're talking about, but I'm telling you let me go . Let me go to break. Sure. Let me go to break. Plenty of people are looking at me. Going. And let's talk about the book. I'm here to sell books. Communion. My book, please. Eventually we will, but this is a good opportunity for us to get some clarity. Of course , great. We'll be back with more with Vice President John Day We are back with Vice Pres ident JD Vance, Sarah. You got the question? Yes, mister Vice President. In your new book, Communion, you write about your personal evolution with faith from evangelical to atheist , to Catholic convert. And you also explain your evolution similarly on Trump from calling him America's Hitler to America's best hope. Now , as someone who has admitted to chasing ambition, which you write about in the book, in the past, but now says your faith brought you back to your priorities . I have to kind of use your own words that sit with me from twenty sixteen. Sir. Fellow Christians, everyone is watching when we apologize for this man . Lord help us. And I think about that all the time because as a fellow Christian, that is something that weighs on my heart as I watch this country and the leadership at the top because it's also something I have to explain to my kids, which I know we also share this idea that our great privilege and responsibility are these young people we're raising. Of course. So help me find the words to explain my children what they're witnessing right now . Well, you know, first of all, it's been well covered that I was a critic of Donald Trump back in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen. Now obviously I'm sitting here as the vice president of the United States and in the Trump administration . Well, Joy, a little humility actually. I think that when you make predictions and those predict ions turn out to be false, you got to ask yourself, well, what made me wrong about that? What did I not understand or not appreciate? For example, I said that Donald Trump's economic policies would not lead to wage growth. They did in the first term. That was actually a major, major thing. I said that we couldn't bring back any of those factory jobs because I kind of had given into this idea that those jobs were disappearing. But actually Donald Trump, you saw a manufacturing boom during that administration. So there's a certain point this question. So there's a certain point where you say, you know, I made predictions about this. I ended up being wrong . And in politics and anything, I think it's important to say you know what? I got some things wrong and I was wrong about him. He was a very successful president. It's one of the reasons why I've been so supportive of him. You go on in the book to explain that good policy was maybe one of your justifications, but the quote and when you tweeted that or exit was not about policy, it was what Christians were willing to excuse. And that's the part I can't get past. What are you willing to excuse in the name of power . Well , I would say fundamentally that one of the things I underappreciated about Donald Trump is that so many of the things that people said about him weren't actually true. Again, you talk about humility. Okay. So I see Donald Trump. I see a clip of him, or I see even not even a clip of him, but reporting about something that he said. And I take it at face value. For example, let's just go back to one of the most controversial things Donald Trump said during the first term that I was wrong during the first campaign , is that I was led to believe by the stories. I read stories that said Donald Trump said that all Mexicans were rapist. He never said that. What he said, what he said is that the certain South American countries, Central American countries were releasing criminals into our country, including Mexico. By the way, that was objectively true. So it's not so much Christians El Pastro did that in nineteen eighty with a Marielle Boatlift. There have been many, many journalists, including CNN, where you used to work and be my colleague that have tried to find evidence of that. There is no evidence that Maduro was releasing people from insane asylums or jails like Fedel Castro did do. This was made up and we just can't, you know, accept it without pushing back. Anna, we know that there were people who were released from prisons who were encouraged to come into the United States. Like it wasn't a Marielle, Mr.. Vice President It wasn't where it was like a purposeful relief, open up the jails, open up the insane asylums and let people flood Florida. I live in that in Miami. If you go, it may not be like Marielle, but if you go back to the caravans that were happening in twenty twenty two, three, we know that those things were funded. They were in some way supported by the government. I don't know how you define support or not support , but if people are encouraged to come into our country after having spent time in prison by their own governments , I think that's a problem. Vice President, can I just add one more thing? Cause you do speak about immigration at length in this book? Sure . And I believe as a Christian, I can tell my kids why it's important to have borders. I get that. There are laws., there are resources I get all that things. It's much harder to explain when I see someone dragged out of a house or wrongly taken to a thing that isn't a violent thing That is, it's a little more nuanced as a parent to try to say when someone's referred to as vermin or scum, when I teach them in school about people that have done that before but this is different . It's very hard as a parent and a Christian to say both things. And you actually say in the book, you talk about this you talk about this struggle this internal struggle and you talk about moral trade offs that result in favoring a strict migration policy without dehumanizing anyone. But listen , over fifty people have died in ice custody. There are thousands of children, six thousand two hundred that are being held in places like Dilli Detention Center. The people that have visited those detention centers, I don't know if you have, talk about theed sub human, infrauman conditions, the lack of clean water, the lack of medical attention, the lack of education. I would urge you as a Christian and as a father to visit those detention centers where the children are being held and make sure that the conditions to the values that we hold in this country . So you guys have thrown a lot at me and I say we've got thirty seconds left here, but let me say no one person go along. I'd like to pick up on this theme because I think it's really important. We do have to strike a balance, of course, between enforcing our laws. We don't want to dehumanize people. That is the balance that look, law enforcement, what I'd say about this, law enforcement is always inherently not a very pretty process, especially when you're dealing sometimes with violent people with people who are resisting arrest . Some of the people that I've been told by the media were completely peaceful, had never violated any laws. You actually look into the record and you find out that those people were actually being violent or they did have a criminal record. They had a sex drive conviction. They have criminal records. So the majority of people that ICE is rounding up and taking out of their homes from their families. They're separating families. They're using children as a let me not criminal. But can I respond to that guys? Let me just say this. Okay , so you talk about the children. Here's what I'd say. Do we know that during the last administration, we had tens of thousands of children who were sex trafficked by the cartels, who were brought into our country in profoundly dangerous and predatory conditions This administration . But here's the point. Unless you enforce the border, you invite that kind of conduct. You think that our immigration policies are inhumane based on the reporting of one person with a political bias , what I'm telling you is that it's inhumane to allow cartels to sex traffic people across all the country. By the way, John Yo, hold on, please hold on. I appreciate that. Get you back in it. We're coming. We're coming back with more with the vice president and I've got questions for you. Great. Thank you Summer's a gift. The gift of days that last a little longer, a brighter state of mind. So give yourself a new KIA at the Kia Summer Sticker Sales event, especially tagged vehicles including the Sarrento, Sportage, Carnival as, well as the neuro hybrid, all backed by a ten year one hundred thousand mile limited powertrain warranty , so the gift of summer can keep on giving for summers to come. Kia, movement that inspires call eight hundred thirty and three four K for details to safety event and seven six twenty six to deal with for one to details. Not every sale happens at the register. Before AT and T business wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long. Basically a staring contest where everyone loses. It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence. Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold. That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sail or two. Sometimes I do miss the bonding time . Sometimes AT and T Business Wireless. Connecting changes everything We are back with Vice President JD Vance . Sir you come from a poor community. Sure. You know how hard it has been for people . Two things. You talk a lot about your Catholic faith , but the Catholic faith says we take in immigrants. We take in people who don't have or who are having a hard time . Why did how do you justify both things? So let me say first a couple things, whoopi. So number one, the book is actually way less political than you might think if you were just watching this because obviously we're getting into the issues today . ninety five percent of the book is really not about politics. I kind of have to write about politics because I'm the vice president, but I want to answer your question. Fundamentally, if you think about what is immigration , enforcement, immigration is law enforcement. It's somebody who has broken a law. A law enforcement officer has to show up and enforce that law . Now inherently sometimes that process is not always going to be pretty if you capture a video clip of it in the same way that if you arrest somebody for committing a violent or a nonviolent crime, sometimes it's not always pretty. What I'm saying is the Catholic faith is actually very I think it strikes the right balance here. It says the Christian faith, I think this is true of Protestants and Catholics that you can have borders . You're allowed to enforce your borders. That means the law enforcement piece of it, but you also have to take certain precautions and certain care. Okay . And again, you know, your argument is fundamentally whoopy. You're saying that we don't strike the right balance. I disagree with you about how we apply that, but nobody hopefully is saying, we're not allowed to have a border What I'm saying is that in order for us to actually enforce the law , you can't set a standard that says you're not allowed to deport anyone unless they've committed a violent crime. You've got to enforce the law equally let me know let me do my follow up. I don't have to do my follow up. Yes, I do. Because you're talking, you were talking about people . What did black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color. And you know how hard it is . You have folks of color in your family. So when you , you know, things the Emma Till stuff coming down or them doing all kinds of removal of information of black heroes , how do you how does that sit with you? What do you mean what exactly are you talking about Whoopi because you were talking about immigrants tell you all the no I want to know what you do you don't know when it's time to your actual So in a lot of the museums, museums just there's so many I just , you know, where they're taking down the actual history that happened in this country, slavery happened , all kinds of stuff happened. And it seems that it has been very easy for this administration to remove that and also to denigrate black folks who have worked their behinds off to get this American dream , how do you I mean, you know, man . Let me know Sony, that was actually very helpful intervention because I think the story you're talking about is where you know allegedly the administration is holding back the appointments of people based on skin color. That's a horse of things. I'm talking about black history getting erased from public spaces. Black voter districts are being dismantled. Black leaders are being sidelined from our ranks. Where do Americans of color fit in this vision? Because it doesn't seem like we fit . I think my view if I may since October of last year there's been something like six thousand six hundred sixty eight refugees allowed into the country all but three were white South Africans . So first of all, I'm very skeptical of that number because we have a lot of different immigration pathways in the United States of America. But let me just address Ry'ispp point. Look, first of all, you asked the question and maybe you don't believe this coming from me, but I think everybody is welcome in our political coalition. Frankly, even if you didn't vote for us, everybody is welcome in our country so long as you're an American citizen with the duties and the legal obligations and rights to be here. But let me just give you an example yes. Okay, so you say that we're anti minority or anti qual. I didn't say that I asked Okay, okay, fine be fair, fair. Don't start any stuff right there. Don't give me a job Don't start . But I misinterpreted your question. Let me answer your actual question there. What I'm saying ? I think okay, look at Washington DC . One of the most democratic and one of the blackest by a share population, blackest cities in the United States of America, has seen a radical decrease in violent crimes and sexual assaults and murders . We have tried to take the crime issue seriously in part because we believe everybody, whether you're black or white or rich or poor deserves to live in a safe neighborhood. Why does the crime stop? Where does the crime st ep in? This is not about crime. This is about lost their jobs. Right. This is about this right. What you're saying is we got to do more on the economy. Black history is erased from Black history is not erased from exactly it wrong when we get back some of the I'm telling you, we celebrate black history. We celebrate all American history in this administration. You guys might be stepping in this but I'm sorry I don't have to I have to go to break. Canada go , please, we have more with them Vice President JD Vance and we come back. Don't do that We're back with Vice President JD . Joy has a next question. Okay, so in the book, Mr. Vice President , you make a Mayor Copper of sorts for calling Democrats childless cat ladies. Oh man. Boneheaded comment. You say that in the book that it was boneheaded, which it was. Thank you . What were you thinking when you said that? So Joy said when we were all fair that I'm fine, which I think is about the best endorsement that I'm going to get out of Joy Behar for thank you. I appreciate that. Greated on a curve here at the View . But you know, I guess one of the things that I try to do and I,'m always all of us are always learning You said you were a laughs Catholic. I'm a bad Catholic. I think all of us, that's why we need grace as Christians is because we recognize that there are certain things we got to work on. Right. But here's what I'd say about that. So did that comment actually shed light on something and start a discussion or did it just close people down? And when I make a comment that just closes people down instead of trying to appreciate the point that I make, that's a mistake, right? And that's on me to do better. Can I let me get the point that I'd say on that joy is, I do think in a very subtle, sometimes, sometimes in a more profound way, I think our country has become more anti family and more anti child. It's harder to travel. It's harder to go to a restaurant mister Husband. grandchild is or your child is arriving. No grandbabies . Not yet.
