JD Vance - January 31st, Hour 3

Coming up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.

All Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour, toll free on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one sewn. If you want to be a part of the program, we will get to your calls. Final a half hour of the program this Friday. And but first I want to go to my interview. I did fly to Washington earlier this week. I sat with the Vice President J. D. Vance for a long and very frankly comprehensive interview. And here is some of that interview.

It's the Vice President, great to see you, good morning, thank you for ast of all congratulations. All right, has it sunk in yet? Hillbilly Elogy?

Yep?

Now the Vice President of the United States of America.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy. You know, it hasn't sunk in. And you know, I joke that I took two wrong turns and I ended up, you know, a hall way down from the Oval Office. And it's just an incredible thing. You know, the first time I'd have actually been to the Oval Office was with President Trump as his vice president last Tuesday.

Had never been to the Oval Office.

Wow.

And you know he always talks.

About you know, you have these executives Warren Heead's estate.

The Oval office just has a particular power and.

I certainly felt it, and it was just amazing to stand in that room. And I remember at the time thinking I wish that I had something profound to say, and I just stood in there saying, Wow, this is crazy.

No, I had the same experience when I went in. President Bush was in office at the time, and I remember I thought it was surreal.

I was like, is that really him?

And it is a special place. And then of course Trump has this little red button which next to him, which is not the red button, which he screwed with me.

About that actually, so he were just mid conversation, I think we were with Senator Thune and Speaker Johnson, and he has this sort of beautiful ornate wooden box on his desk with a red button and he presses it and he just kind of looks over at me and I'm like, sir, is that it's something bad?

And He's like, no, I just ordered a diet coke.

Literally, I read button.

And it comes running in. Then I'll ask you would you like one?

Yeah, exactly.

I've known President Trump for over thirty years. Sure, I've had a close relationship with him in all those years, and he and I when he was going to run thinking about running, we had arguments for hours deep into the night about I said, I'm not voting for you if you're not a conservative. You really are now getting to know him very well, Sure, what have you learned about him?

Well, it's interesting.

One.

I've learned that he has the most interesting decision making process of any person.

I've ever met.

And I think it's what makes him such an effective leader, is that when he actually is thinking about doing something, he doesn't just ask like you know, his closest advisor or some policy person. You know it's gonna affect a business, He'll call the business to CEO, so he'll go and try to talk to the workers. He tries to take inputs from everywhere, and I think it's one of the reasons why he's so in tune with where the American people actually are.

But it's also I.

Think one of the genius is of the way that he makes decisions is that he actually tries to talk to everybody. And that's something Honestly, I could write a book just about the way that he gathers information from all sources, and it's very unusual. I mean, Washington, most politicians, you know, they'll if it's a national security issue, they'll talk to their national security person and maybe you know, somebody else in their office. If it's a business issue,

I would describe him as a force of nature, and there's nobody else like him. Yes, and I think in many ways he's misunderstood as well, because I know the personal side of him, and I know the business side of him. And as we've seen hundreds and hundreds of executive actions, and you've been here very a little over a week now, yeah, pretty well, speed a light, it's speed of light.

You know, we've i think, accomplished honestly, more in eight days than the entire Biden administration accomplished in four years. And of course the things that we're accomplishing are actually good things, and the things they were accomplishing or mostly bad things.

But the president has incredible energy.

I mean, this is something you hear other people say about him, and it's hard to really appreciate it until you're up close and personal. I don't know how much he sleeps, or if he ever really sleeps.

I mean, you'll get phone calls from him.

I can answer that he doesn't sleep a lot.

You'll get phone calls at one in the morning, and.

He'll just you know, he'll talk about policy, and he'll talk about your family, and he just there's something incredibly energetic about him.

But you sort of need that. Actually, the federal government.

Has become so sprawling and the bureaucracy is so unresponsive to what the president actually wants to do that you kind of need somebody in there who's constantly on.

It's all gas, no breaks.

That's certainly what we've seen the last you know, eight days. I think it's what we'll see for the next four years.

You know, when when you look at, for example, the two biggest issues in this campaign, immigration and the economy. Sure, and because that's impacting the people in Ohio of course, right yeah, packed in their life hard and a lot of mats. I've been really hurt. It was a study that came out like fifty six percent of Americans can't withstand a thousand dollars emergency. Sure, you know it would be devastating for them. That scares me. I've been there,

Be, not fun.

Law.

And when I think of, you know, the issue of immigration in particular, I'm looking at we have known terrorists in this country. We have known cartel members, known gang members, we have known murderers, rapists, And I'm watching the reaction of the left and the left wing media and the Democrats, and you know, we're back to Nazi fascists, Hitler, Stall and Mussolini. And I'm like, what part of these other people you're missing?

No, it's it's totally crazy, Sean.

And if you look, you know, there was the guy who went viral if you days ago that we deported seventeen violent criminal convictions and was actually saying the guy from Ady, he was saying, I hate Trump, I love Biden because Biden wanted me to stay in this country.

Is there a better endorsement of Donald J.

Trump that a violent criminal who shouldn't be in this country doesn't like him? Because Donald Trump is actually enforcing the immigration laws of this country.

And it's everywhere Sean.

It affects everybody from all walks of life. It's the drug epidemic, it's the crime, it's the fact that if you live along the southern border, you're affected by this cartel activity.

We've seen, Sean.

Just in the last couple of days, multiple cartel members have fired at our own border patrol, And you ask yourself, why wasn't that happening a couple of years ago, Because they weren't empowered to do their job. The border has become so lawless that we're actually engaging in military style

I want to ask about the economy in a second. But we saw Tom Holman. I mean, I don't think there's anyone talk about a force of nature. I've tried to make them smile. I've had no luck. If you pull that off, that would be a miracle. But I've known him a long time. I have a great admiration for.

Him, me too.

And almost ten thousand deportations and some of the toughest criminals. Christinome out on that ice rate in New York yesterday. She was on TV with us last night. Amazing ten thousand in a week. The president looked for what eighteen hundred a day, right, And you know that's a pretty ambitious goal.

It's ambitious, but you need a leader who sets ambitious goals and actually holds people to meeting those goals.

If you think we've got twenty plus.

Million illegal aliens in this country, we have got to get these people out of our country and regain control of our own border. And it's not just the people that were deporting. If you look at the number of illegal entries on January the nineteenth, the last day of the Democrats administration, I believe the number was north of thirteen hundred illegal entries. Five days later, we had already cut that by more than sixty percent, and I guarantee

They gave him a mandate, so now he's doing it.

That's how democratic politics in this country works, and thank god for that.

If I was in your position or President Trump's position, and I never will be, let's be clear, but if I was, I think what would keep me up at night is the fact that we have known terrorists in the country, and we have murderers in the country, and rapists and violent criminals, cartels, and gang members that I said, I'm married about an attack on the homeland. Mister Vice President, how worried are you?

Well, look, I am worried, Sean, because we were given a country with hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe more of known terrorists that are in the United States of America thanks to the open borders of the last administration. So it's our job to worry about it so that hopefully we can prevent that attack. So it's something that does keep us up at night. It's something that the government is working on very aggressively. We've got great intelligence services, we've

How do we find them? I mean, you have known terrorists, but you don't know where they are. Non cartel members, but you don't know where they are.

Well, it's crazy, Sean. Sometimes you're right, we don't know where they are. Sometimes we actually do. And that's one of the craziest things of the last week. Just for me, you ask what is shocking to me, It's that many of these violent criminals, we knew their addresses, we knew their names. We just needed to send somebody, got to go to their house and get them the hell out of there. That really should shock the American people.

We've known where they are exactly exactly, and we've known they've had terroritized.

We've known at least that they had violent criminal backgrounds, and we haven't done anything until about eight days ago when Donald Trump became the president of the United States. Again, it really should shock the conscience of the American people. One of the things you've heard on the campaign trail, one of the criticisms of me and of the president was well, yes, we have twenty million illegal aliens. We have close to a million violent criminal, illegal aliens, and

Actually gives me hope that we can protect the homeland because I would imagine if you're a terrorist and you're in our country, you're not here to pursue a better life for you and your children. You're here to plot, plan, scheme the next attack on our homeland. And I lived through nine to eleven. I don't want to live through that again. I don't want to lose, of course, nine hundred and seventy seven Americans again. Yeah, Caroline Levett, I watched her yesterday. I thought you did a great job.

Why you know what was so interesting?

Just to give some more kudos to Carolyn is she didn't have a massive binder and she did this incredible briefing with all of the hostile media, and then somebody asked her, where was your binder? And she said, my binder is in my head. And I think there's something very interesting about Donald Trump's approach to governances. He just wants to hire smart, competent people to do the people's business. He's not worried about what you look like, whether you're

But it does raise interesting question. I actually think that.

We are looking very seriously about which reporters show up, because if you're a reporter, even if you're biased towards the left, absolutely we.

Want to answer your questions.

If you're a propagandis for the Democratic Party, then we're going to treat you like a propaganda's for the Democratic Party. And one of the things that I think we've already done again only eight days into this thing, is you know who. It's not just who's not there, it's also who is present. And Carolyn had a lot of new media folks, a lot of young people who represent I think the vanguard of news media in this country.

She gave Matt.

Boyle from Breitbart and a question yesterday. These are actually some of the people who are driving news in twenty twenty five in America, and I think, frankly, the MSNBC's the CNNs of the world. They should take the hint. Your viewership is way down, your ratings are abysmal. Why is it that especially young people are tuning into new media?

Maybe it's because instead.

Of engaging in propaganda, the new media is asking real questions. I mean, Joe Rogan, one of the biggest voices in American media now, he was a Bernie brew eight years ago. This is not like some crazy right wing guy. This is just a person who's asking questions. And unfortunately most of the old old media they're just not interested in that.

All right, we'll come back. More of my interview with JDV coming up eight hundred nine four one.

Shawn.

We'll get to some of your calls coming up, final half hour of the program. All right, we're going to get to your calls in just a minute. Eight hundred nine four one. Shawn is on number. But first a few more minutes of my interview with the Vice President from earlier this week, JD evans As.

I listened to them, and I watched Selena gome As that viral video.

Her Lord, you know, I think interesting.

Now.

I've talked to the family, as did President Trump. I know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did not. I talked to Lake and Riley's family.

Yeah.

I talked to Rachel Marn's family, mother of five. I talked to Joscelyn Nungary's mother and grandfather, And I'm like, where were the tears when a little thirteen year old girl absolutely was brutalized and murdered and all these other Americans murdered and raped and victims of violent crime, where.

Were the tears?

Then it's a great point, Shawn, And there's something very deranged in the mind of the far left in this country, where I really do think that they feel more of a sense of compassion for illegal aliens who have no right to be in this country then they do their fellow citizens.

And that really has to change.

And you know, when when Selena Gomez had her viral moment, and of course there were a lot of other celebrities who weighed in, I had people sending me photos of little kids, sometimes kids the same age as my little children. We've got, of course, a seven year old, a four year old, three year old.

Scene by the way, thank you, someone's playing with your hair.

Yeah, we'll get to that.

But you know, kids similar age to my children who were murdered by criminal aliens in the United States of America. And as an American leader, but also just as an American citizen, your compassion belongs first to your fellow citizens. It doesn't mean you hate people from outside of your

Their own borders. That is no way to run a society.

And I think the profound difference that Donald Trump brings to the leadership of this country is that the simple concept America first. It doesn't mean you hate anybody else. It means that you have leadership. And President Trump has been very clear about this that puts the interests of American citizens first. And in the same way that the British Prime Minister should care about Brits and the French

What is President Shade doing?

What is with Latimeric people looking after the Chinese. Putin is looking after the Russians that they're entitled to do that. Thank God, we now have an American president who's looking after the citizens of his own country.

I hate to ask this question, I really do. And because of my long standing friendship with the president. Sure, we have had two would be assassins. I read these reports, you would know a lot more about the details than I would, of course, about Iranian assassination squads in the country. Yep, you are, now, as they say, one heart beat away from the presidency. Do you think about that? I mean, God forbid that moment ever comes that. I mean, God forbid.

Yeah, I try not to think about it, Sean.

I mean my attitude is I'm going to do as good of a job as I can for the President of the United States. Part of that, of course, is learning from him and learning about this incredible group of people that we have in the White House. And yeah, part of the job is, God forbid, if something terrible happens, I have to step into that role. But I think

It's very low energy, like Joe North Carolina, Vegas.

And California to day well, and of course on the phone the whole time, taken call, you know, making phone calls here.

The other thing about his.

Energy level is he's extremely accessible, right, And I know it's it's kind of shocking to the White House Press Corps, to everybody in Washington that the president actually is engaged in the people's government. That's, of course exactly what you want. But it is a very radical departure from the last four year.

All right.

That was Vice President J. D. Vansie went up to Washington earlier this week. I thought he was phenomenal, unbelievably. He is smart, he's intelligent, he is completely maga, and he is resolved. All right, let's get to our busy phones. Karen, is it my free state of Florida? Hey Karen, how are you glad you called?

Then?

Thanks for checking in.

Happy Friday, Thank you son, all the same to you. Welcome to Florida, Hey Son, I'm just concerned about one thing, and the two questions do you consider DEI and affirmative action one and the same. And I'll let you answer that. But the reason I asked that quest question if it seems like they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Well, a lot of companies now are getting rid of DEI programs that they've adopted. They've they've been frankly pressured to adopt by the Left. Now, of course there's crossover. DEI just goes and expands out so far. You know, for example, we were discussing the tragedy of this collision that took place, this mid air collision in Washington, d C.

And now that we find out.

That they were suffering from quality control issues and staffing shortages. But you know, more importantly, you know, when you get to the DEI aspect that was put in place since twenty thirteen, where they prioritized politics and DEI over you know what was smart and safe for the American people. I mean, it's absolutely it's it's madness. I mean, to hire workers with severe intellectual disabilities that the fa to hire people with psychiatric problems at the FAA, that's too

Thank you.

Good call Matt in Memphis Tennessee. Hey, Matt, how are you happy Friday? Glad you called?

Yeah, I'm good. What's going on?

Oh you're a real hot person. Get hold I can tell you that. Hey, thanks for taking my call. I really do appreciate it.

Thank you.

My time is no more. Time is limited. So there's there's just two points on this that I kind of want to make or whatever. First, well, it's a Swiss cheese factor that we that we all talk about, and he talked to any air traffic controller knows. And second of all is the questions that I would be answering. But the Swiss cheese factor. I watched the ratio replay and listened to the audio of it, and the phraseology was not correct on either part, whether it was a

Now?

How you said I have the traffic at like one two o'clock. The control would have said no, let's not the traffic. So I get it. Anybody out there, any air traffic controller, if they said they have not short cuts of something or so they haven't got the Begieva scare out of them, then they're either new of their line. So that's that's one. That's the first thing that I initially heard. Also, there's las letters of agreement that the airplanes are supposed to be at a certain outsuit and

Initially, you have to be a little quicker here because you're almost running out of time, But go ahead make your final thought because I think you're bringing up a lot of good points.

Yeah, But the question that I would initially ask was why weren't the position split? How long was the person on position? How long were they on duty, how many controllers were on duty, was a supervisor up there? How many people were on break with venue over time?

We know one person left, we know they were short staff. We know one person was doing two people's jobs. We know they'd been numerous near missus at that airport. You know, there's a lot that we've learned. We know that the FA put out stern warnings now going back a number of years, and that pothole pee Buddha judge did nothing. It doesn't bring comfort to the families, but we already have the building blocks to take the steps necessary to

It is a hard, hard job.

And all the points that you're making are dead on accurate, and I thank you for keeping the air safe. For the most part, our errors are safe. But we have staffing problems, and now we have other problems that we're discovering as well. Anyway, I appreciate what you do with all air traffic controllers do, and we got we got to get some people trained fast. By the way, if you're looking for a job, maybe you want to think about being an air traffic controller.

Listen.

If a family member or friend asked you for advice where to go for tax relief, you wouldn't send them to some place with hundreds of complaints, would you?

Of course not. That's why fee years.

I only recommend one company if you have o back taxes, if you have unfiled returns in years gone by, Please don't be fooled by companies offering these you know, pie in the sky, too good to be true sales pitches. The one company I trust is Rush Tax Resolution. They're a plus rated by the Better Business Bureau the only company I trust and recommend.

Now.

Over the years, many of you, my listeners, have had tax problems and you called the number I'm about to give out. Now for those of you that may be currently having tax problems, their tax nightmares are over and yours will be over fast too. Get a free, no pressure, no obligation consultation eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. Eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. Also, if you're a business owner behind on payroll taxes, you need

Com Broadcasting on great radio station from coast to coast, coast to coast America, Sean Hannity Show.

And that's gonna wrap things up for today, and we'll have a lot more on the midair collision tonight on Hannity on the Fox News Channel of the former pilot and FA Safety Team representative, also Donald Trump's investigation and a former Blackhawk helicopter pilot, also New Kingrich Janine Piro on the firing FBI agents. My last part of my interview with Jdvans. We'd cover a lot of topics including those flying objects and much more. And Jimmy Fayla nine
