Vice President JD Vance appears on Face the Nation as part of his Sunday talk circuit. The video and transcript of the discussion is below.
[Transcript] MARGARET BRENNAN: Good morning and welcome to Face The Nation. We begin today with Vice President JD Vance, who joins us from Cincinnati, this morning. Good morning to you, Mr. Vice President.
VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: Good morning, Margaret, thanks for having me.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We are getting very close to that 72 hour deadline for the hostage release. I think the world is holding its breath here. Is the administration seeing signs that Hamas and Israel are complying with everything they need to and that this will go ahead?
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Yes, Margaret, so knock on wood, but we feel very confident the hostages will be released, and that the President is actually traveling to the Middle East, likely this evening, in order to meet them and greet them in person. It’s a big day for their families, but I think more importantly, it’s a big day for the entire world.
The President of the United States said to his entire diplomatic team, especially Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to go and get a deal done, to stop the war in Gaza, to begin to rebuild Gaza so the population could live there in peace and prosperity, to actually eliminate the threat of terrorism to our friends in Israel- which is very, very important, and also to bring the hostages home alive. It was a very tall task. He pursued a very non traditional diplomacy with people who were not 40 year diplomats, but people who brought a fresh perspective to it. And of course, the President was criticized for it. The diplomatic team was criticized for it. But I think that because he chose a different pathway, he didn’t just do what everybody else in the past had done. We are now on the cusp of a sustainable peace in the Middle East. It’s a great moment.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Those are some very ambitious plans in phase two in particular, of this deal. Let me ask you about some of the details, because the administration has pledged about 200 US troops from Central Command to be part of implementing this deal. They’re not going to be in Gaza, but how long will they be involved here? And more broadly, is the Trump administration fully committed to keeping the pressure on? Because those things you just mentioned aren’t going to happen overnight in terms of dismantling Hamas and building towards a stable Gaza.
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: You’re exactly right, Margaret. It is going to take consistent leverage and consistent pressure from the President of the United States on down. I know the President is very committed to doing that, but you asked about the 200 troops from Central Command. I think you put it accurately. These are not troops who are going to be put in Gaza, but they’re troops who are already at Central Command. They’ve been at that base for many, many years, and they’re going to help monitor and mediate this peace. Inevitably, there are going to be conflicts here. There are going to be things that the people in Gaza disagree with Israel about, that the Israelis disagree with the Gulf Arab states about, we see our role really as mediating some of those disputes and ensuring that the pressure stays on everybody to achieve a durable and lasting peace. One of the under reported elements of this deal Margaret is that the President convinced the entire Muslim world really both the Gulf Arab states, but as far in Southeast Asia as Indonesia, to really step up and provide ground troops so that Gaza could be secured in safety. And that actually makes it possible to rebuild. It makes it possible to dismantle those terrorist networks. It makes it possible to ensure that lasting peace that all of us care so much about. So we think that the Arab countries, the Muslim-majority countries, are going to step up in a big way with troops on the ground, we’re going to continue to play our mediation role. And I think that’s a very, very good place for all of us to be. It’s been successful thus far, and of course, we’re going to work to make it as successful all the way through as we can.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Big picture, though, when it comes to American security. You said back in July that you’d seen what you called heartbreaking images of little kids who are clearly starving to death in Gaza and that quote, “Israel’s got to do more to let that aid in.” Are you concerned that even if, God willing, this war ends, America’s security has been endangered by this perception that America has been okay with Israel and in support of it, despite conduct that clearly you and the President didn’t agree with.
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Well, look, as the President said, you have to remember, the war started because of a brutal terrorist attack on Israeli soil, and we’ve been laser focused on eliminating the terrorist threat to the Israelis, while also ensuring that the innocent people in Gaza get the necessary humanitarian aid. That’s a difficult balance to strike, but I think if you look at the dancing in the street in Gaza, if you look at the way that the Gulf Arab states really the entire Muslim world, but also you look at how the Israelis responded. They were cheering at the mention of President Trump’s name yesterday in a massive rally in Israel. This is one of those peace deals where Muslims and Jews and Christians all seem unified that it’s a really good thing for the world. It’s a really good thing for humanity, and it happened because of President Trump’s leadership. So I actually think this peace deal will make us safer. I’m sure they’re going to be some hard feelings from the last couple of years of war. There always are. But if we can build a sustainable peace, Margaret, I am 100% sure Americans will be safer because of it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Let me ask you about what’s happening here at home, or perhaps not happening when it comes to negotiations to reopen the government. There were more than 4,000 layoff notices called RIFs, or reduction in force, announcements that went out Friday to workers across seven different agencies, including Treasury and Health and Human Services. Take a listen to how the President described this.
[SOT]
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We’ll be cutting some very popular Democrat programs that aren’t popular with Republicans, frankly, because that’s the way it works. They wanted to do this so we’ll get little taste of their own medicine.
[END SOT]
MARGARET BRENNAN: How are you deciding who gets laid off?
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Well, the main thing that we’re focused on Margaret is ensuring essential services remain open, and obviously, in a government shutdown, we have limited funds to work with, because the appropriations that keep the government running have not been made. That’s thanks to Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. So we’re trying to do everything that we can to ensure that low income women and children get the food services that they need. We’re trying to make sure that we pay our troops because that matters for national security. We also want our people to get their paychecks. That’s where we’ve been focused, and unfortunately, what that does mean Margaret is that some federal bureaucrats are going to have to get laid off. This is not a situation that we’re excited about. We want the government to reopen, but Chuck Schumer, the Democrats decided to shut down the government, and we have to deal with the consequences in the administration, so that’s what we’re doing.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, these aren’t furloughs. These are notifications of being laid off, of losing their jobs, that’s why it’s a little different this time, and specifically when it comes to what’s happening within the health sector. CBS did confirm on Saturday that the Trump administration went and rescinded some of the layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly laid off on Friday, and then told Saturday that’s not the case, but some of them were involved with the federal measles response. Some of them were involved with the response on Ebola. How does a mistake like this happen? Did the White House even talk to the CDC?
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Well, so- so two- two responses to that, Margaret. First of all, I want to assure the American people that the frontline health care workers, the people who monitor measles, Ebola and other infectious diseases, those people are still on the job, and we’re trying very hard to figure out how to ensure those people get a paycheck, of course, because we want them to be happy and healthy. We want them to be able to do their jobs well. But the second point, Margaret, is the government shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. We are figuring out how to take money from some areas and give it to other areas. That chaos is because Schumer and the far left Democrats shut down the government. We have to remember, Margaret, that the vast majority of Republicans and- and to their great credit, a number of moderate Democrats, have consistently voted to reopen the government. But if Chuck Schumer and the far left Senate Democrats are going to shut down the government, that is going to lead to some chaos. So you ask, how does this mistake happen? It happened because Chuck Schumer shut down the government, and we’re trying to make sure that essential services still function in the face of that shutdown.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But that was a White House decision to lay off these individuals. You heard the President talking about that. That- that wasn’t Chuck Schumer’s decision. I understand your broader point on the negotiations, but the layoffs came from the president and the White House.
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: But my point is, Margaret, that we have to do layoffs because we have to preserve necessary resources to do the most critical things that the government does, and in that phase, you’re going to have some chaos. You’re going to lay off people, frankly, Margaret, that the White House doesn’t want to lay off. We would like to reopen the government and ensure the essential- essential services stay on. But unfortunately, in an environment where we’re dealing with limited resources, where the government is shut down, we’ve got to move some things around. And in that moving things around, there is some chaos, there is some unpredictability, but we’re trying to do everything that we can with the- the hand of cards that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have dealt us. That’s our solemn promise, and that’s our duty to the American people, but there’s going to be chaos. That’s why we want to open the government. That’s why we want the Democrats to accept that the government should be open.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But are you confident that these job cuts are legal, that these reductions in force during a shutdown are going to withstand legal scrutiny, given that some unions are saying this is a violation of the Anti Deficiency Act?
JD VANCE: Well, we are confident. Margaret, of course, we always follow the law, and we always follow court cases, and we think that we have the authority to do what we need to do. I’m sure that some people will sue, and that will get figured out in court. But the reality is, we have to remember, why are we in this situation, Margaret? All these conversations about whether it’s a temporary layoff or a permanent layoff – we are dealing with a terrible, chaotic situation, because Chuck Schumer and a few far left Democrats decided to shut down the government. If they just joined with the moderate Democrats and the vast majority of Republicans, we can open up the government, and all of these conversations will no longer be necessary.
MARGARET BRENNAN: When I pressed leader Schumer on this program just last Sunday about this, about reopening the government, he said it’s going to take getting everyone in the same room with the President of the United States. Only the five people, including the President, he said, can solve it. Why doesn’t the President insist that lawmakers come back to Washington sit with him and talk this through?
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Well, as Chuck Schumer said, it’s not all lawmakers. It’s the Senate leadership that really is driving this shutdown. The House has already passed a bill to reopen the government. It’s the Senate, and again, it’s a far left sort of contingent of Senate Democrats who are keeping the government shut down.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But the president says he’s a deal maker. Why doesn’t he force a deal here? Why doesn’t he tell Republicans like the speaker, get your lawmakers back here, come into my office, let’s hammer this thing out.
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Margaret, it’s a totally fair question, and the answer is, because this isn’t a deal making. This isn’t a negotiation. This is hostage taking. Chuck Schumer has not said to us, this is what we need. He said that unless you give us what we need, we’re going to shut down the government. That is a totally different thing. If Chuck Schumer wants to come into the Oval Office or come to my house, he is welcome to talk about how to fix health care policy for Americans. Of course, we want to lower insurance premiums. We want to make sure that the skyrocketing health care costs of the Biden administration start to level off and hopefully come down. That’s one conversation. But you don’t come into the Oval Office and say, unless you, the President of the United States, give us everything that I want, I’m going to shut down the government. I’m going to deny low income women and children their food benefits. I’m not going to pay the troops. That is what Chuck Schumer has put us in the situation of doing. We don’t negotiate with a person who has taken the entire federal government hostage over a health care policy dispute. And I think that basic principle you saw Barack Obama say this to Ted Cruz and a number of Republicans, we want to talk about health care policy, but we’re not going to shut down the government over this. That’s all that Donald Trump is now saying to Chuck Schumer and the far left Democrats: we are not going to negotiate over opening the government. We’ll negotiate on health care policy, but only once you do your job and open up the people’s government.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay, just a quick follow there. Though, what is your vision for that health care policy? Do you want these tax credits to fade out over time, extend them and then fade them out? Are you open to making them permanent?
VICE PRESIDENT VANCE: Well, the tax credits go to some people deservedly. And we think the tax credits actually go to a lot of waste and fraud within the insurance industry. So we want to make sure that the tax credits go to the people who need them. We also think that Obamacare gave the health insurance industry a lot of ridiculous regulations that if we cut out, we could give people access to better health care at a lower cost. That’s what we’re working on. And again, I think there’s a lot of agreement, actually Margaret, that’s the crazy thing about this. There’s a lot of willingness to negotiate, a lot of willingness to compromise from both the moderate Democrats and certainly from the White House. But if the far left Democrats led by Chuck Schumer are going to shut down the government and refuse to open up the government unless they get everything they want, that’s not a negotiation, that’s a hostage taking, and we’re not going to reward that kind of behavior from Washington, D.C.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Mr. Vice President, thank you for your time this morning. ‘Face the Nation’ will be back in one minute. Stay with us.
JD Vance Also Appeared on Meet the Press:
Allow insurance companies to sell catastrophic insurance to ALL ages–without age discrimination.
And very important to let insurance companies sell on a national basis without interference of (democrat) state regulators.
Economy of scale will lead to much lower rates and insurance companies would have to compete with each other which will improve service and accountability.
Mrs. Sunshine, Always love your comments, and the way you get to the heart of the matter in a few succinct sentences. Brilliant.
And to increase the economy of scale there needs to be a nationwide platform for insurance companies to file claims across state boundaries. If all drugs, procedures, and claims could be classified nationwide as the same thing, we would be able to see the costs easier and insurance companies wouldn’t need separate facilities, employees, and software that is used only in one state.
The other part of Obamacare that failed is personal health accounts that don’t talk to each other. Can’t we have systems that can export data for use at a different clinic or health insurance company? Right now, anywhere you go to buy drugs and supplies, or get treatment, wants you to set up another account that has no connection to your primary doctor. Ridiculous.
If insurance companies, doctors, or pharmacies don’t want to participate in the system then they don’t get government subsidies or reimbursements. Yes competition is needed but that can only happen right now if states allow it. Because prices would be transparent and very similar, competition would shift as you say Mrs. Sunshine, to service and accountability.
Excellent summary of positive changes to the “health care system”. In quotes b/c for many decades now it hasn’t been about that. It’s been about maximizing profit for the insurance, pharma, medical equipment and software industries*. Profit is a good and necessary component for businesses to succeed, but not at the expense of the citizenry’s health.
* and let’s not forget the massive regulatory burden laid on medical providers. To the degree that many have left the practice of medicine altogether.
no one should be mandated to have health insurance. it is forcing you into a contract with a corrupt DC lobbying operation. if everyone dropped health insurance, the cost of health care would come down by over 50% very quickly.
Perhaps because Mrs. Sunshine’s comments are thoughtful, precise, and focus on real issues.
You might consider upping your game and focus your gaze on things that matter, not avatars.
Why would anyone listen to you, Skippy?
And I am not really Arnold Ziffel’s Older Brother… aka a pig!
Avatars are just that.
Yes, we used to have this and it was very popular.
Low premiums catastrophic policy was good enough for me before I reached age 65, then Medicare took over.
I don’t want to be forced to pay for people who make careers out of “going to the doctor”. I don’t want to pay for doctors who make careers out of keeping people “sick”.
Current system has every health incentive totally backwards.
Doctors get paid when they find/create problems. Patients get paid for being the sickest they can possibly inflict on themselves with no financial incentives to change bad habits.
Yet, the real concerns are trauma and accidents. Those are the very few times we want insurance to kick in –for accidents; not daily maintenance for poor lifestyle disease choices.
insurance is basically gambling and betting on yourself to lose.
I’d like to see them federalize the medical reinsurance markets and require all medical insurance companies to purchase manditory stop loss coverages from a new federalized system of reinsurance. Then make the patient and the attending physician of their choosing, in mutual concurrence, the sole arbiters of what is necessary for that patient in the clinical moment. Then have medical insurance pay for every so designated medically necessary treatment. This will end the interlopers and the tortious interference by non-attending medical personnel and other clerks practicing medicine without a license. Get rid of the experimental loophole and instead use a simple and clearly discernable standard of practice which elects the patient and the attending physician of their choosing mutually determining what medically necessary for the said patient in the clinical moment. We protect the public interest with federalizing the stop loss reinsurance system and operating it from the US Treasury. Is it not our mutual interest in our Constitutional rights and protections that will be most protected by restoring primacy to the patient and the licensed physician of their choosing? No more groveling before insurance clerks, hospital bureaucrats and other interlopers wielding an authority of payment veto over American Citizen physicians and patients; a power they should not have and should never be allowed to have. What is deemed medically necessary in the aforementioned manner should be exempt from disqualification for payment by the insurer and their stop loss reinsurer.
No. We don’t want government to federalize anything more in health care. Everything they get involved in costs more, not less. Just look what they did to the cost of a university education.
images of little kids who are clearly starving to death in Gaza
Were these verified?
The images of people celebrating in Gaza certainly do not look anything like the starving images from countries like Somalia and the Horn of Africa.
Yup, and of course she neglected to mention that Hamas was stealing food aid at gunpoint.
It is not possible to say what exact imges VP Vance was refering to, but the images published in the MSM or on activists webpages have been shown to be either children with underlying diseases or children from other conflicts like the civil wars in Syria, Lebanon, or Yemen.
One was an Israeli refugee starved by Hamas.
Oops, right Doom Pixie Greta?
Yes, the very famous photo of a “starving child in Gaza” turned out to be a child with a pre-existing genetic condition that blocked his ability to absorb nutrition. His condition was totally unrelated to the war.
That photo was headlined in media all around the world. It was very impactful in pressuring Israel to allow in more aid trucks.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/image-of-gazan-child-with-genetic-illness-being-used-to-falsely-smear-israel-cogat-charges/
Fake news about “starvation” and “genocide” were what triggered Biden to have the military install that fiasco of a floating pier into Gaza that resulted in Americans dying and being seriously injured. Not to mention the money it wasted.
Fake news has real costs.
Those starving in Somalia, had relief supplies cut off by war lords. They were in refugee camps and intentionally starved to death for some war lords turf war.
The affordable care act is the Obama stench that gets smellier and smellier as time goes by. It needs major revisions. Get the government open and get it fixed.
Big business needs to get their greedy paws out of health care…and stop making money off of it or more appropriately, you dear policy holder.
Aside from Medicare and Medicaid fraud, there is so much fraud in business accounting, and no one seems to care…
Gubmint, big pharma, and huge corporations need to be reined in, health is a total disaster. It is all about the money, they don’t give a rats ass about patients or families.
Obamacare was a train wreck waiting on the tracks from day one. Problem is no one defined “health care”. Before they wrote a blank check on the taxpayer’s dime …..for partisan benefit.
Anyone inside health care knows 20% of patients will suck out 80% of the dollars making unhealthy demands on the system.
You need insurance only for trauma and accident care; NOT FOR DAILY LIFESTYLE MAINTENANCE. That one is on you.
I’m trying to remember if there are any caps on Obamacare. Are Obamacare policies unlimited?
It can’t be fixed. It is working exactly as it was intended to.
Not for nothing, but I wouldn’t give these liberal news frauds the time of day.
Good job by V.P. Vance with both of these presstitutes.
I would love to see Obama care replaced with a much better and truly affordable health insurance plan known as Trump Care.
How about we just keep government out of the health insurance business altogether???
Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!!
Good comments by the VP
I really like the way VP Vance addressed the insufferable Margaret’s biased questions and DNC talking points. The more visibility the Administration gives to blaming the shutdown on Schumer, Jeffries, and their antics, the more likely it is that this situation will resolve itself in Trump’s favor. I predict Schumer caves, within the next 14 days, and then AOC announces her run for his NY US Senate seat.
Btw, if anyone wants to see grammar school level ‘narrative fabrication’ type of propaganda, watch the segment with JD Vance & Stefanopolis. The latter spends the entire time trying to generate ‘Vance Denies that Homan Accepted Bribe’ narrative.
I saw that. Stefanopolis is a rude stuff shirt. If I were the VP (or anyone else int he Administration), I’d boycott ABC. Eff ’em, they need us, and not the other way around.
There are so many large podcasts they could go on that have more daily viewers and / or listeners than these shows get in a week. They wouldn’t even be relevant at all if people weren’t sharing these clips.
Did you mean Step on them * a lot he must?
(*Republicans)
Did Margaret congratulate JD or Trump on the Middle East peace treaty? I must have missed it.
Just kidding. She’s so butt hurt about yet another Trump accomplishment that she only allots 5 minutes of her interview to it, and most of that was Vance speaking.
The rest was same old, same old. Blaming POTUS for the Schumer shutdown. Get that gal a sombrero!
MARGARET BRENNAN: How are you deciding who gets laid off?
The Biden covid-19 SCAM vacation for government workers was over when Donald J. Trump became President. … The decisions about terminations shouldn’t be too difficult.

“Petulant government employees are being mocked online after posting TikTok videos moaning about how President Trump has ordered them back to the office five days a week — with one wailing: “I am so upset.”
The taxpayer-funded workers quickly went viral after griping about the executive order Trump signed Jan. 20 that requires federal agencies to ax remote work options — forcing most staffers to show their faces in person. [Back to the office by March 20, 2025]

There’s information available about how Federal Bureaucrats vote for politicians that favor ‘outsourcing’ American jobs to places like India, China or Mexico. …… Sleeping at a desk or gossiping in a cafeteria for hours by >government bureaucrats could easily be outsourced overseas too, for a penny on the dollar in wages.
“Arab and Muslim-majority countries are going to step up with troops on the ground”
?
Israel would be nuts to allow that.
the last thing Israel needs is a multi-Islamic force building on its borders
VP Vance:
One of the under reported elements of this deal Margaret is that the President convinced the entire Muslim world really both the Gulf Arab states, but as far in Southeast Asia as Indonesia, to really step up and provide ground troops so that Gaza could be secured in safety. And that actually makes it possible to rebuild. It makes it possible to dismantle those terrorist networks. It makes it possible to ensure that lasting peace that all of us care so much about. So we think that the Arab countries, the Muslim-majority countries, are going to step up in a big way with troops on the ground, we’re going to continue to play our mediation role.
Jews and Christians can NEVER MAKE PEACE WITH ISLAM.
Because the “Holy Koraaan” (Barack Hussein) mandates they be killed because they are “unbelievers”
Disruption comes when Democrats reject the need for a sustainable budget. Chaos comes only after the Media sides with Democrats. Otherwise, normal transitions of administration brings change.
Stop being bratty obstructionists, Democrats. Stop trying to undo the last election. You are election deniers.
Brennan and her ilk are an UNBEARABLE watch. Just another emotionally and mentally shriveled-up parade of latter day princesses postured on a perch doing television’s last gasp of The Mouseketeers model of perpetual juvenile programming by the designated superiors behind the iron veil enforcing the conditioning imperatives.
Instead, use guest interviewers doing our senior government officials without commercials or commercialization streaming over http://www.whitehouse.gov on Sunday mornings, and let it all hang out.
Most would prefer to hear it from the horse’s mouth rather than the horse’s ass following from behind.
Let’s hope that President Trump’s presence in Isreal is a backdoor way of bypassing and undermining Netenyahu’s reign on the levers of power for far too long. Witness the greatfull crowds of Israeli citizens cheering Trump and booing with pejoratives his
“ opponent ” as that is REALLY what Bibi is! I hope this is phase 1 of severing the bonds that AIPAC has over the U.S.
Netenyahu is crafty and knows if he is removed from power he’ll have to answer for his manifest and multiple “mal-deeds”…
Can you elaborate on these multiple mal-deeds?
He can’t and he won’t.
If health care is a “right” (which it is not); then keeping healthy is a DUTY.
Too many Americans have thrown this obligation away while they suck out every dollar the system can provide . Big Pharm hooks too many American on lifestyle disease laziness. Ka-ching!
**Everything** is wrong with the current US health care system. We reward the exact opposite of what we want and need:
Jaye you have it exactly right.
Beware Lindsey Graham and his cohorts waiting to strike when most opportune against Trump’ s good intentioned efforts…
I would have changed “It’s a big day for their families, but I think more importantly, it’s a big day for the entire world” to “It may be a big day for most of the entire world, but I think even more importantly, right now, it’s a big day for then and their families”.
Especially as the last 2 years must seem to them like 200 years and they are all probably grossly underweight even by Hegseth standards, ie skin-and-bones.
“ That’s one small step for mankind, one giant leap for the hostages and their families”.
This is brazen Democrat extortion, Margaret.
Why are all your questions mean-spirited gotcha questions, Margaret?
You are driving with Trump hatred. Go away.
VP Vance deserves kudos for getting the truth out to the public. His calm certitude is very effective, IMO.
I was thinking the same thing. He becomes more effective with each public speaking experience, IMO. demonstrating that he’s the natural follow-up to DJT. Has anyone ever seen him become rattled?
The fundamental error of Obamacare assumed “health care insurance” coverage was a surrogate for health. That is all Obama pursued: health insurance coverage, by the numbers. Period.
Just like he tried to cram as many students into colleges so he could brag his administration created the “most college graduates”. For his own bragging rights by the numbers.
What Obama did to higher education, is as bad as what Obama did to health care. As bad as what Biden did to “immigration”. By the numbers. But not running the numbers upfront to predict what winning their sheer bragging rights “numbers game” did to our bottom line numbers.
My God, we got duped big time by Obama/Biden. Big time.
I hate those 2 so much. They caused so much trouble in the US and the world.
Stock Markets, Crypto Soar After Trump Addresses “Highly Respected President Xi” | ZeroHedge
Well…. we were off by a few hours, in what has been the fastest TACO reversal yet.
Moments ago, confirming the rapid shift in sentiment that gripped markets on Sunday morning following JD Vance’s far more palatable comments, Trump crushed any hopes the bears may have had of a limit down open when he took down the trade DefCon tension with China from 10 back to 2, stating on Truth Social…
“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!”

Gag, it’s difficult to even read the transcript of the insufferable Brennan’s “questions”
Vance is able t o respond and counter the strongest attack by the legacy loons
JD Vance, fantastic and articulate as always.
I find Margret’s bra like whatever it was, so incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. The viewer’s eyes are continually drawn to that.
health insurance is pure garbage. it covers nothing. you are better off getting a health sharing plan and pocket the savings for your $5k or 6$k deductable. once you have that the rest is yours to keep. and also, health care is not great either, except in case of trauma. the health care complex will kill you if you’re not careful. 400k die each year from medical malpractice.
Insurance aside for a moment, I just read where the vestige of armed Hamas savages is attacking its own citizens who are moving northward and those they believe to have aided the Israelis the past two years.
TRUST, BUT VERIFY time in spades! Watch them like hawks during the second stage of disarmament.
Prayers over the entire matter and personnel are necessary.
Christians are the only group that has been shut out of the MIDDLE EAST and we are the ones that would be able to rule peacefully.
Correct me if this is wrong. The democrats passed obama care in the middle of the night during a holiday, due to covid the governments sent “TEMPORARY” subsidies to assist in keeping costs lower, those temporary subsidies are now expiring and obama care is a disaster.
Now the democrats shut down the government due to all the failures in obama care and benefits for illegal aliens.
Lets call BS when we see it and I wish this would be explained to the socialist media that puts a false spin on this entire event.
What a bitch Margaret Brennan is!
Brennan was the inspiration for the Sally Field character in ” Not without my Daughter”
Someone tell the newest Panican, MTG, who is trashing Potus on Communist News Network.
As long as we are talking about ways to lower insurance premiums instead of ways to lower heath care costs things will just keep getting worse, no matter who is in the White House or in congress.
I HATE MARGARET BRENNAN
Sounds to me like VICE PRESIDENT VANCE shoved the entire corpus of Chuck Schumer up MARGARET BRENNAN’s nether region. MAGA.
