Thank you very much and God bless you.

I'll try to summarize the key points: Interesting question if Maria Bartiromo will be coming to the White House.

Really good answers. Represented himself and the administration very well.

Regarding U.S. policy with regard to the Strait of Hormuz: a responsible balancing of our interest in protecting freedom of the sea, and the limits of our ability to do so.

Good differentiation of Republicans from the crazy left-wing of the Democratic Party.

I really like that he tries to maintain friendships and respect with people even where there are political disagreements.

Please, if you think I've missed some things, or you remember some things I've listed from me, feel invited to comment.

Bartiromo cost Fox nearly $800 million dollars because she was reckless with the truth. That makes her damaged goods to MAGA.

It’s hard to see Trump hiring her as his press secretary, since she’s going to be the primary defense witness in the pending $3 billion lawsuit against Fox for defamation.

I appreciate you posting this topic. I hope you will not take it wrong but I disagree, I thought Vance really shot himself in the foot today. His defense of Carlson was an unforced error. It comes down to priorities.
Friendship is very important, supporting a friend is noble and a test of character. Ignoring commentary that is antisemitic, supports and whitewashes forces that seek to destroy our Nation, commentary that is often misinformation, is a dreadful choice, a juvenille choice.
There are greater loyalties than friendship, God, Country, Family, Truth. Virtue signaling about your friendship rising above politics is inappropriate in someone who is supposed to put Country first. This press conference cemented by belief that JD Vance is not ready for the Presidency.

Rather than being reckless Maria brought out the truth.
Dominion executives have now been forced to admit wrong doing and recently dropped a pending lawsuit. Fox was too quick to be intimidated.

In 2025, a lawsuit against Fox News by voting technology company Smartmatic alleged that Bartiromo spread false rumors about claims of election fraud on the air — a notion she had vehemently rejected.

Bartiromo had said before an earlier lawsuit involving Fox and Dominion Voting Systems that it’s “absurd” to think that she personally lobbied former Attorney General William Barr to aggressively investigate Trump’s charges of voter fraud during the 2020 election. Instead, she said she was doing a journalist’s job in asking follow-up questions. That case was settled in 2023.
