Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) slammed NBC News host Kristen Welker during an interview on Sunday after she deceptively framed a question. The exchange happened on “Meet The Press” while the two were talking about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and what a Trump-Vance administration would do. Welker pressed Vance to call Russian President Vladimir Putin an “enemy” instead of an “adversary”. “Well, we’re not in a war with him, and I don’t want to be in a war with Vladimir Putin’s Russia,” he said. “I think that we should try to pursue avenues of peace.” “We can recognize, obviously, that we have adversarial interests with Russia,” he continued. “We can condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and I have, and of course the president has. But we also need to engage in some smart diplomacy if we’re ever going to get out of the mess that Kamala Harris has left us in and get back to a posture of peace.” Welker then falsely claimed that Russia invaded Ukraine under former President Donald Trump. “And, of course, Donald Trump was president for four years while Russia was essentially invading Crimea,” she falsely claimed. “Why didn’t he kick him out when he had the chance? He had four years.” Vance responded: “Oh, I think that that’s a misunderstanding of the history, Kristen. I look at that much differently.” “Well, there was fighting going on,” she said. “First of all, we had Russia invade another country, a sovereign nation, during Obama,” Vance correctly noted. “We had Russia invade a sovereign nation during Bush’s term. We had Russia invade a sovereign nation during the leadership of Kamala Harris.” “The one four-year term where Russia did not launch a full-scale invasion against a neighbor was under the leadership of Donald Trump,” he noted. “We also have to remember, just on that point, if Donald Trump had not given Ukraine javelins, the country would not exist as an independent sovereign nation anymore. So, the idea that Donald Trump wasn’t sufficiently strong on Russia I think is belied by the actual history of the period.” WATCH: NBC’s Kristen Welker LIES about the Crimean invasion, which happened under Obama n 2014, in order to firefight “Putin didn’t invade anybody while trump was in office”. pic.twitter.com/uvq1TDQwM9 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 27, 2024

Republican Vice Presidential nominee and sitting Senator JD Vance (R-OH) warmed up an already-keyed-up crowd at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, taking the stage ahead of his running mate, former President Donald Trump. Vance predicted a win for the Republican ticket on November 5, boasting that at least for the time being, he had “the easiest job in American politics”: reminding the American people how much easier, safer, and less expensive nearly everything had been when Trump was president before. “In just nine short days, we are going to turn the United States of America RED and make Donald J. Trump the president of the United States!” Vance began to raucous cheers and applause.

Trump the president of the United States! pic.twitter.com/mmdpinx6ei — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 27, 2024 Vance went on to list a number of famous people who had graced the stage at the New York City venue, from Elvis Presley to Muhammad Ali — and even gave a nod to the man who had just introduced him, the former pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan. “It’s an honor to be here at Madison Square Garden. Where we stand is where the greatest of all time Muhammad Ali faced Joe Frazier in the Fight of the Century. It’s where the King, Elvis Presley, played for 80,000 screaming fans,” Vance said. “It’s where the immortal Hulk Hogan pinned the Iron Sheik and let Hulkmania run wild. And now on the eve of the most important election of our history, the greatest champion of them all Donald J. Trump has come to Madison Square Garden.” .@JDVance: "It's an honor to be here at Madison Square Garden — Where we stand is where the greatest of all time Muhammad Ali faced Joe Frazier in the Fight of the Century.

And according to the Ohio Senator, it was a pretty easy job. “My friends, I’ve got the easiest job in American politics. Think about this: All I’ve gotta do is remind people what life was like when Donald J. Trump was President of the United States. We had PEACE, we had PROSPERITY. Take home pay was rising the fastest that it had in 40 YEARS. Inflation was at 1.5%, the lowest that it had been in a generation. Gas and groceries were affordable.” “And when Donald Trump was president, we had the most secure border in the history of this country,” he added. “That’s the Donald Trump record, and that’s a record that’s gonna win.” WATCH: .@JDVance: "I've got the easiest job in American politics… All I've gotta do is remind people what life was like when Donald J.

The Ohio Senator explained that selling a Harris presidency as a net positive would be no easy feat. “I’ve got to be honest, I feel a little bad for Governor Walz. And the reason I feel bad for him is because he has to defend the indefensible, and that is the record of Kamala Harris,” Vance said shortly after the vice-presidential debate.

Spanish-speaking media are very much part and parcel of the Regime Media. Proof evident of that is a recent panel exchange on Univision’s Sunday public affairs show Al Punto, where one of the anchors literally bemoaned the fact that voters don’t read The Economist before weighing in on the economy. Watch as weekend anchor Felix De Bedout talks down to voters: JORGE RAMOS: I want to ask you about the (Kamala Harris) camp- let’s see. FELIX DE BEDOUT: I want to- something on the economy. This is The Econ- this is the cover of The Economist. One of the world’s most important magazines on the economy. And what’s the (cover) title? “The Envy of the World.”  RAMOS: So the United States is the envy of the world. DE BEDOUT: America’s economy. The envy of the world. RAMOS: If you compare it, of course, with Europe and Latin America.  DE BEDOUT: And that is one of the biggest problems for the Biden Administration and for Kamala. They’ve not been able to explain where we’ve come from and why we are here. And, of course, because when people go grocery shopping, things are more expensive. Gas is more expensive. And they’re not reading The Economist. Al Punto recently underwent a format change, perhaps as a function of host Jorge Ramos leaving Univision and no longer being interested in hosting partisan talking heads. Instead of having campaign surrogates debate the issues of the day, Ramos now has his Univision colleagues in a roundtable format. The exchanges are sometimes predictable, sometimes interesting. Such is the case with weekend anchor De Bedout. Nothing screams being in touch with The People like complaining that they don’t read The Economist. One can reasonably infer that if the cost of food, gas, and groceries are substantially higher versus wages, and people are having a harder time to cover these, then perhaps there isn’t 12 bucks laying around for a copy of The Economist. Unfortunately for Univision’s viewers, they don’t have to worry about laying out for the latest issue because they can get browbeaten onTV for free.   

PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez helped get out the vote for Democrats in North Carolina in a report about the gender divide from the campaign trail Friday evening. Barron-Lopez, the News Hour’s most partisan reporter, began with the young chairman of the state’s Democratic Party. Laura Barron-Lopez: Fresh off a tour of 30 college campuses, 26-year-old Democrat Anderson Clayton has been working toward this moment. Anderson Clayton, Chair, North Carolina Democratic Party: This was the first time we ever got in The New York Times. Barron-Lopez: The nation's youngest state party chair decided on a strategy early....To build a coalition of young voters, like Barack Obama did in 2008. 2008 was the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won the state. Barron-Lopez at least gave the Republicans roughly equal time, talking to the chair of the North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans, Emily Stack, and Zander Pitrus, president of the Duke College Republicans, who said that “free speech is nearly nonexistent” at Duke (Though Barron-Lopez made sure to voice a rebuttal statement from Duke University supporting: "a diversity of perspectives on campus.” After jabbing at the Republican gender gap among women at a College Republican gathering ("Also apparent at the gathering, the gender gap, with only one woman student showing up.") She then spoke to Brookings Institution scholar Richard Reeves, who said Trump's appeal to young men had no substance behind it, but that the Democrats had a lot to offer young men. Barron-Lopez: Trump's appeal to young men is not subtle, said Richard Reeves. Richard Reeves, American Institute For Boys and Men: You know, it's UFC, it's podcasts, it's Hulk Hogan tearing off his shirt. Barron-Lopez: But he added, it's also superficial. Reeves: There's no policy behind that. There's no substance behind that. But there is a sense of welcome. Barron-Lopez: Reeves, a scholar on the challenges facing boys and men, said the irony is, Democrats have more concrete proposals benefiting young men, like Medicaid expansion and jobs created by the infrastructure bill. But they don't sell it as good for men or pro-male. The PBS reporter circled back to the NC Democratic Party chairwoman. Barron-Lopez: For Anderson Clayton, there's no denying that Harris expanded the map for Democrats. Clayton: I do think that she has made a world of difference being at the top of the ticket this year….[compared to Joe Biden] Then she snuck in the punch line: Barron-Lopez: If Clayton is right, it would be only the second time since the 1970s that North Carolina has gone blue. For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Laura Barron-Lopez in Durham, North Carolina. Barron-Lopez preformed a similar pro-Democratic closer on the October 17 show, emphasizing abortion’s appeal to Democratic voters in Arizona and Nevada, ending her report: Barron-Lopez: [Trump 2020 voter] Crystal's own experiences are motivating her to back Harris. And the country's post-Roe landscape could lead more voters like her to cross the aisle this November. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 10/25/24 7:26:58 p.m. (ET) Amna Nawaz: Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by double digits among voters under the age of 30. But underneath that data lies important signals about the gender divide and the issues that matter to young Americans. Laura Barron-Lopez has this report from the swing state of North Carolina. Woman: Vote, baby. Woman: Let's vote! Woman: Let's do it. Laura Barron-Lopez: Fresh off a tour of 30 college campuses, 26-year-old Democrat Anderson Clayton has been working toward this moment. Anderson Clayton, Chair, North Carolina Democratic Party: This was the first time we ever got in The New York Times. Laura Barron-Lopez: The nation's youngest state party chair decided on a strategy early. Anderson Clayton: The misconception is that somebody like me could not do a job like this. Laura Barron-Lopez: To build a coalition of young voters, like Barack Obama did in 2008. Barack Obama, Former President of the United States: There are those who are saying that North Carolina would be a game changer. Laura Barron-Lopez: The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won North Carolina. Anderson Clayton: We put an emphasis on young voters because that is where I think the party had lacked the emphasis. We know that North Carolina youth vote is going to change this election cycle for us. And that meant that we needed young people to get out there and organize young people. Laura Barron-Lopez: As for former President Donald Trump's recent inroads with Gen Z men, Clayton pointed to Democrats' edge with women. Anderson Clayton: We're doing everything we can to combat that. But I also think that our demographics and where we need to push on doesn't just rely on young men. It relies on getting out and targeting women, marginalized communities, people that our party actually speaks for. Laura Barron-Lopez: Nationally, polls show a significant gender gap among young voters, ages 18 to 29. That's driven in part by a Harris lead of 30 points or more among young women. Anderson Clayton: One of these young women is Chantel Chestnutt, who is excited to cast her very first presidential ballot for Harris this year. Chantel Chestnutt, Harris Supporter: It just feels good, especially her being an HBCU graduate. Laura Barron-Lopez: Like most of the students we talked to at the historically Black College of North Carolina Central University, one of Chantel's biggest issues is abortion and women's rights. Chantel Chestnutt There's a lot of things at stake here. And I feel like the outcome of this election will not only shape the next four years, but really shape the next maybe decade, two decades, and a lot of my life. So I feel like this election is very important for me to vote, make my voice heard. Laura Barron-Lopez: About 40 million Gen Z voters are eligible to vote this year. Those young voters could be the deciding factor here in North Carolina, a state that Donald Trump won by roughly 75,000 votes in 2020. Emily Stack, Chair, North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans: Right now, I think they care most about the economy. They're coming out of college and they're wondering, hey, where am I going to find a job? Laura Barron-Lopez: Thirty-year-old Emily Stack, the head of North Carolina's Federation of Young Republicans, is trying to change her party's typical difficulty with reaching younger Americans. Emily Stack: In general, the Republican Party always needs to be better at just talking to the younger voter, because, a lot of times, as you know, even in politics in general, we have an older population that runs government.   Laura Barron-Lopez: Stack says the state's network of College Republicans will be key to turnout. Zander Pitrus, President, Duke College Republicans: On campus, free speech is nearly nonexistent. Laura Barron-Lopez: Zander Pitrus, a junior at Duke, restarted the school's chapter of College Republicans this month, in the hopes of providing an outlet for conservative students. Zander Pitrus: There will be a growing number once Republicans are less fearful on campus, experience less censorship and even self-censorship on campus, where they're willing to come out of the woodwork. Laura Barron-Lopez: In a statement to "News Hour," Duke University said: "We believe in fostering a diversity of perspectives on campus, and we supported the group's return to ensure that a wide range of viewpoints is represented at Duke. At the first ever meeting of this revitalized club, 12 students were in attendance. But at least one wasn't voting for Trump. Matthew Klinger, Harris Supporter: We have to go beyond talking points. Laura Barron-Lopez: Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Klinger, a registered Republican, doesn't agree with most of Harris' policies, but is putting that aside to vote for her. Matthew Klinger: I'm pro-life. I think that a limited government is what's best for the economy and what's best for the people. But I also believe in truth and I believe in empathy. And I do not think that Donald Trump represents those values. I look at his attack of the Capitol on January 6, his consistent belittling of immigrants and made-up stories about people eating cats and dogs in Ohio, for example. All these things, I do not think represent a man that should be in charge of our country. Woman: There's no more party of small government. Laura Barron-Lopez: Also apparent at the gathering, the gender gap, with only one woman student showing up. Trevor Darr, Trump Supporter: Identity politics has improved culture and society in some ways. Laura Barron-Lopez: Eighteen-year-old Trevor Darr understands why most women may not vote for Trump. But he says young men don't feel welcome in the Democratic Party. Trevor Darr: I think the Democratic Party, as of late, has put place a lot of societal vilification the shoulders of young men and saying that we're the source of a lot of social ills in America. And Donald Trump has repudiated that message in a lot of ways. Laura Barron-Lopez: Trevor's support of Trump is based mainly on foreign policy. But he added that, overall, Trump does more to engage his generation in their social media spaces. Trevor Darr: I think he knows how to use cultural vehicles to be able to reach my demographic. I think pointing at the Adin Ross podcast is a really good example of how the Trump campaign has been willing to use atypical campaigning measures, using avenues that are dominated by that young male demographic to then reach them. Man: I know President Trump is a fighter. Laura Barron-Lopez: Trump's appeal to young men is not subtle, said Richard Reeves. Richard Reeves, American Institute For Boys and Men: You know, it's UFC, it's podcasts, it's Hulk Hogan tearing off his shirt. Laura Barron-Lopez: But he added, it's also superficial. Richard Reeves: There's no policy behind that. There's no substance behind that. But there is a sense of welcome. Laura Barron-Lopez: Reeves, a scholar on the challenges facing boys and men, said the irony is, Democrats have more concrete proposals benefiting young men, like Medicaid expansion and jobs created by the infrastructure bill. But they don't sell it as good for men or pro-male. Richard Reeves: It's a bit more of a head-scratcher as to what's happening with those young men. My view is that it's because the left and the Democrats have just not contested enough. They have ceded too much ground on this issue. I'm quite convinced that that's part of the problem here, is that young men today don't see an obvious scripted place for themselves in society and in community and in the family in the way that their fathers did. What ends up being the choice for a lot of men is feeling like a left that's turned its back on them and a right that thinks the solution is to turn back the clock on women. Laura Barron-Lopez: Back at North Carolina Central University, 21-year-old Amari Glover said some of his friends have told him they might back Trump. Amari Glover, Harris Supporter: I have noticed this, especially because he hangs out with a lot of the rappers that my generation is cool with. So I feel like that's a way for him to influence us, because we will see that and say, oh, Trump is cool, or he gets us, he understands, when, really, I just feel like it's a tactic to get his way inside. Laura Barron-Lopez: But he was on his way to vote for Harris.   Amari Glover: When I'm thinking about representation, honestly. I feel like Kamala is a great representation of what America should be and what it can be in the next four years. Anderson Clayton: Even before the world and the country believed it, she believed that North Carolina was a swing state. Laura Barron-Lopez: For Anderson Clayton, there's no denying that Harris expanded the map for Democrats. Anderson Clayton: I do think that she has made a world of difference being at the top of the ticket this year. And folks knew that North Carolina was going to be a marginal state, and it's a state where, like, that energy level could be that margin, right? It could push people over the top to get out and vote. And I think that there is a huge impact and a wave of opportunity here that Joe Biden would not have had, honestly. Laura Barron-Lopez: If Clayton is right, it would be only the second time since the 1970s that North Carolina has gone blue. For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Laura Barron-Lopez in Durham, North Carolina.

Democrats have never been particularly shy of showing off their true colors, but as Election Day gets closer, they’re becoming even bolder. Joy Behar of “The View” is a prime example as she ramps up her blatantly untrue rhetoric that paints Donald Trump as America’s Hitler. “I don’t even know what to say anymore,” Behar told the panel. “If people still follow this fascist pig, then I don’t know what else to say. I really don’t.” Behar then went on an insane, barely intelligible, totally fabricated rant. “It’s like, how many times we have to hear him say that referring to immigrants as animals and Hitler called cleansing Germany of all those parasites, referring to immigrants, and he called Jews lice and this guy Trump calls people vermin,” she said, stumbling anxiously through the run on sentence. “It’s the same language that Hitler used,” she added. “I think you’ve really hit the note,” Sunny Hostin replied, proving herself as delusional as Behar. Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is having a hard time even knowing how to respond to their unhinged beliefs. “I don’t even know that I can analyze that clip,” he says. “When Trump’s talking about ‘vermin’ and all of these other names, he’s not talking about legal immigrants, he is talking about Venezuelan gang members. He’s talking about people that rape people. He’s talking about people who bring fentanyl all over.” “You’re all idiots and liars,” he continues, adding, “And you know it. That’s you, literally. Ladies of ‘The View,’ you have the job you have because a corporation pays you to sit there and lie so that the Democrats can retain power. It’s as simple as that.” Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations, free speech, and big ideas with Dave Rubin, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
