Vice President JD Vance sat down with Laura Ingraham for an exclusive interview on The Ingraham Angle, tackling America’s shifting stance on Europe, the escalating crisis in Syria, and the high-stakes decisions shaping U.S. foreign policy. His candid take on border security, free speech, and global alliances pulls no punches.
Vance emphasized the deep historical and cultural ties between the United States and Europe, describing it as “the cradle of Western civilization.” While acknowledging disagreements with European leaders, he stressed that shared religious and cultural values should guide future relations. However, he also warned of Europe’s internal struggles, particularly its inability to control its borders and rising restrictions on free speech.
“We see some free speech issues that worry us. And we see that they’re doing some things on borders that are not just bad for their own countries, but ultimately bad for us,” Vance stated, urging Europe to respect its sovereignty while maintaining strong ties with the U.S.
Vance expressed deep concern over reports of targeted massacres against Christians and other minorities in Syria. He highlighted the consequences of past U.S. interventions in the Middle East, particularly the Iraq War, which led to the destruction of historic Christian communities.
“We do not want to see another Christian community erased from the face of the earth,” Vance said. While ruling out military intervention, he noted that diplomatic and economic measures were being pursued to protect vulnerable populations.

I don’t follow that. What’s your take?
Are you making generalizations about Europe without being fluent in the subjects that you are raising?
You can research Romanian elections on your own time and get back to me.

If the candidates don’t meet the criteria of their laws or their campaigns are being Russian influenced or sympathetic to the Russian regime then I’m skeptical of their canadacy. Even free speech has consequences.
However, railing for free speech while seeking to limit it here seems contradictory.
Do you have examples of limiting free speech here that I can research? Forgive me for not just accepting your generalizations; I posted five examples of DoJ harassment of journalists, which you haven't commented on.
Can you provide me with some examples to check?

Just the threat Trump made at justice.
I think we've heard much worse from the elected Democrats about him, both when Trump was out of and in office.
It was worse when Trump was out of office and the Democrats had majority powers. Now that Trump is in office and talking smack to Democrats, suddenly its a chilling effect on free speech?
I'm not buying it.

Then why say it. Especially at Justice? That isn’t a red meat rally. I used to think it was trash talk. Not any longer. And I don’t care whether it’s from the right or the left. It’s dangerous.
What's dangerous is putting it in a memo and sending it to the FBI, just like Garland did with the school board meetings.

Let’s say gor grins and giggles he follows through. What say you then?
I don't mind a good hypothetical, but I prefer them to be agnostic and not tied to specific people and specific actions.
Unless we're talking about election scenarios.

Oh you’ll rationalize and support it.
joescucks is going to poop himself when he reads the news about the autopen “pardons” by Old Senile Joe...

Information. Even Rush cited NY Times articles. Trump recently cited a favorable liberal CBS poll. Closing your eyes and putting your fingers never turns out well.

I would guess with Rush and Trump the bias is known. Except when it helps them.
I get enough of both over time to consider my eyes open.
