My guest today is Andrew Kolvet, who was Kirk’s close confidant. Since the assassination, he’s taken on many of Kirk’s responsibilities, including hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show.” Andrew Kolvet: …“Now, Charlie’s mission was to say: Hey, before us are two roads. You can either go grievance politics, socialism, free stuff populism, Mangione-ism, Mamdani-ism, or you can go MAGA.“ …“I think this is the through line for Israel — is you do not have to support Israel to belong to the team, at least in a traditional historical sense…I’m an American. I’m born in this country. My kids are going to...

JD Vance has mocked a wild claim that he was spotted yelling at his wife Usha in a restaurant after an unverified image surfaced on social media. The image was posted on Facebook showing the vice president with an animated expression speaking intently to the second lady who is looking down at the table. 'Looks like things are not so good in Republicanistan,' a Facebook user called Thomas Clay Jr posted alongside the picture. The video player is currently playing an ad. 'Usha is a liberal. Always has been. Apparently they were having an argument loud enough to quiet the...

Vice President JD Vance just dropped a hilarious Oval Office story leaving the entire room cracking up. President Trump glanced over the Resolute Desk at VP Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio and said, “You guys have shitty shoes.” Right then and there, Trump pulled out a shoe catalog and gifted them 4 pairs of shoes. 🤣 Wait until the end of the story… “Today I'm in the Oval Office with the President and Marco Rubio, and we're talking about something really important. The President kind of holds up his hand and says, ‘no, no, no, hold on a second. There's...

Vice President JD Vance says that mass immigration under former President Joe Biden significantly skyrocketed the cost of rent and home prices.In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Vance attributed sky-high home prices to record-setting illegal immigration under Biden — noting that flooding the housing market increases prices on Americans, particularly those first-time home-buyers.“To me [this] is maybe the most important because I care so much about our young people being able to afford a good life, a lot of young people are saying, ‘Housing is way too expensive,'” Vance said: Why is that? Because we flooded the country...

The implementation of a Gaza ceasefire agreement is "going better than expected" and the truce can hold, US Vice-President JD Vance has said during a visit to Israel.Vance also warned that "if Hamas does not co-operate, it will be obliterated", while refusing to give a deadline for when the Palestinian group must disarm - a part of US proposals yet to be agreed.US President Donald Trump, who brokered the ceasefire deal earlier this month, said America's "great allies" in the Middle East would be ready to "go into Gaza with a heavy force and 'straighten out Hamas' if Hamas continues...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is privately telling confidants that JD Vance is the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican nomination and that he’d support the vice president if he chose to run, according to two people close to the administration. Rubio’s private comments are a vivid example of how some Republicans are already gaming out a post-Trump succession battle, less than one year into the president’s term. The question of succession is especially relevant following Tuesday’s election results in which the GOP underperformed, leading to widespread concern that without Trump himself on the ballot, Republicans are unable to generate enough...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

Vice President JD Vance leaned into an internet joke at his own expense this Halloween, posting a short video of himself wearing a curly brown wig to mimic a meme that’s followed him for months. In the TikTok clip, filmed at the Naval Observatory residence, Vance opens the door in a dark suit and red tie, smiling as he tells trick-or-treaters, "Happy Halloween, kids ... remember, say thank you!" The line is a playful callback to the "you didn’t say thank you" meme before he spins under purple lights to the eerie "Twilight Zone" theme. The 41-year-old vice president’s video...

With the potential Democratic Party field made up of weak candidates like Pritzker, Newsom, Harris etc, JD looks very good to win in 2028.

Snip - Vance said the optimal number of legal immigrants to admit is “far less than what we’ve been accepting,” but he did not offer a firm number when pressed by a woman who questioned his stance. He criticized former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, which he said allowed too many people into the country and threatened the social fabric of the United States.

Sean Davis @seanmdavOne of the things that drives me nuts about the current era of political conversation and speech-policing is that nobody is ever honest about the end goal of certain tactics. So let’s just lay it out: the war against Tucker is actually a proxy war against J.D. Vance.It is being waged primarily by interventionists who hate the foreign policy realism of the Trump era, hate that J.D. has embraced it, and desperately want to either get rid of J.D. or bully him into doing what they want. The war on Tucker is designed to be a warning shot...

Republicans keep waiting on Democrats to accept their clean CR bill and move on with a vote to reopen the government, but they won't do it. They want perks in there. Well, JD Vance is here to give the "Dad" explanation as to why Republicans aren't going to cave on this one. 🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance just said it PERFECTLY on the federal shutdown"This is how a CHILD BEHAVES!""They are trying to take a hostage. IF WE DO THAT - give them everything they want? In 3 MONTHS, they are gonna shut down the aviation industry and deny SNAP unless...

US Vice President JD Vance has defended the Trump administration’s decision to overhaul the H-1B visa programme, saying it is being misused to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labour. -snip- “If you look at the H-1B visa, what it’s supposed to be is that you have a super genius who’s studying at an American university and who’s working at a great company. You want that super genius to stay in the United States of America and not go somewhere else. What it’s actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50 per cent discount for an American...

U.S. President Donald Trump said he stopped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from fighting in Gaza, a war he said would have continued "for years" without his pressure on Netanyahu. “He would have just kept going,” Trump told TIME in a newly published interview. “It could have gone on for years. It would have gone on for years. But I stopped him, and everybody came together when I stopped him.” Trump and Netanyahu have heaped praise on each other publicly. But Trump has also shown signs of frustration with Netanyahu's hardline approach, saying in his recent speech to the Knesset...

NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway. They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the...

The Russia-Ukraine war has continued despite months of negotiations because neither side is ready yet to make a peace deal, US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview Thursday with the conservative news network Newsmax. -snip- Vance pointed to what he called a “misalignment of expectations,” saying “the Russians tend to think that they’re doing better on the battlefield than they actually are,” which he said has made negotiations more difficult in recent months.
