Sen. JD Vance | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

I just wanted to give a big shout-out to JD Vance. Hearing about his journey with his mother’s recovery from heroin addiction really hit home for me. His compassion and understanding around addiction show that he truly gets what it’s like for families dealing with these struggles. It’s rare to see a leader who speaks from personal experience with so much empathy and insight. Knowing that he’s out there advocating for those who’ve been through it makes me feel so much more hopeful. JD, thank you for standing up for us and showing that recovery is possible.

[@megaham1552]

@@lapdawg60 No one is lying to you Vance does that himself

[@wildbear2472]

I definitely like his down-to-earth background and hearing about his family story. But remember, he's a charming politician. It doesn't take much to start seeing some serious flaws in what he says. For example, Trump lost the last election...and yet Vance still won't admit that in any conversation I've heard from him. Here's another...Trump had more former lobbyists in his administration than Obama. So don't buy their grift when they talk about draining the swamp. Vance had integrity when he correctly called out Trump's issues back in the day. I don't trust this new version that can't stand firm on basic principles like the peaceful transfer of power.

I’m a recovering addicted and I thank Trump for my recovery. I got clean at the end of trumps administration b/c my drug of choice was so hard to get out so expensive. If I didn’t get clean when I did, I’ would’ve been ☠️. Months after I got out of rehab, My ex dealer called me saying how Much stuff he had and the price was cut almost down by 70-80%. He said he was getting it right and left. Guess who was in office at this time 🧐. I don’t like Trump in the beginning, I was one of them, until I realized it was b/c of him he slowed down the trafficking of dope by closing The border and Biden and Kamala is the reason my ex dealer has unlimited amount of dope at Pennie’s in the dollar. Thank you Trump, I owe you my life and my future w/ my boys. Thank you so much. Right now I’m, literally, in tears thinking about how much he saved my life. Trump Is family to me. The whole time my boys and my husband were Trump supporters and I thought they were crazy. I was the one who was brainwashed, not them. Thank you Trump and I’m so sorry for not believing you when you ran the first time in 2016, but you 1000% proved yourself. Thank you for saving my life.

JD Vance is bankrolled by Peter Thiel who founded Palantir, a big data analytic software whose only contract for the first seven years of its existence was the CIA. They now work with every intelligence agency in America such as the NSA and FBI, so that these agencies can purchase privately-collected data from Palantir to domestically spy on US citizens. Palantir also provides Israel with proprietary AI software called "Lavender," that determines where Israel should drop their bombs on Gaza, many times resulting in civilian casualties. If you're a conservative, you should be asking yourself, "do I really want the next-up candidate for President of the United States to be someone with deep ties to the intelligence community?" Are these really principles that you should support? How did we get to this point where these are our two best options? How did Vance go from serving in a Senate seat in 2023, which was bought and paid for by Peter Thiel, to being a Vice President nominee in 2024? Does this seem organic to you? Is Peter Thiel praying for a war with Iran so that Palantir's services can be broadened, increasing its overall value while increasing his net worth? Why would he bankroll Vance to the tune of $15,000,000 if not for some ulterior motive? Vance certainly seems hawkish on going to war with Iran, given his remarks about "hitting Iran hard." All of the details above should concern you, regardless of your party affiliation.

I'm also glad that Vance seems to debate like a normal politician, which would hopefully mean you lot will return to choosing candidates with a little more respect, like Vance... Fingers crossed though, since Trump's first win didn't send any shockwaves in the Democratic party, we'll have to see if JD will be challenged by a competant and genuine left-wing candidate, unlike Ms Harris who could only repeat the same 5 sentences every time she appeared and is more conservative than our centre right party in Australia. IDK if the next 4 years are gonna be a golden age for the US like you expect, from the outside Trump gives off the vibe of a Herbert Hoover more than he does an FDR. I think JD is gonna be challenged by a fierce and ambitious opponent akin to FDR (the metaphor makes even more sense considering WWIII is just around the corner, whether Trump says he can prevent it or not, its coming).

Here is one thing I've learned in my 44 years on this earth: Whenever I feel like I need a drink - I shouldn't drink that drink. It has never ever improved anything for me.

It might make you forget for a very short while, however what you temporarily forgot will always come back to you - and sometimes 10 times as hard - and sometimes with added problems!

Mostly, because of the blatant bullshit lies of him being tough on China and Russia... China vastly expanded their military bases in the south China sea under Trump in preparation for their imminent invasion of Taiwan, and under Trump we were actively fighting Russian troops that ATTACKED US in 2017/18 during the Syrian civil war, and again he did nothing about it except suck up to Putin even more... Also though because of the constant disrespect, and the fact that FBI and all the military generals and leadership who worked with him, some of whom he even appointed, have ALL said / come out with reports detailing how he is an actual credible threat to our national security...

Thanks for piecing that together. Let's vote out the Demo-RATS! TRUMP 🇺🇸

[@samuelbono4601]

Honestly this one is top 5 interviews. What a wholesome conversation

We were gaslighted to think that this guy is “weird”. I’m only 20 min in to watching this, and he seems like such a chill guy.

[@mirandajavis9347]

It kinda drove me crazy that Theo kept saying his mom was an alcoholic when he answered in the beginning that hers was more of a pills/opioid issue but, Vance didn't skip a beat! Love that Theo had him cracking up. Great pod!

[@tpjamesy24]

I felt the exact same!

[@kauaifishing1365]

The fact that Vance and Trump can just sit down on extended formats and just chill out and laugh. You can tell they’re real and not fake.

[@MaxBurnt]

Trump didn't laugh at theos best jokes

[@BeeinOz]

Can you imagine Kameleon and Timpon?

I love how JD is so chill and relaxed but still intelligent and poised. Idk how he’s so cool but he is

[@BennLuvsYou24]

Totally agree. What a great balance. He makes it look so easy. That's what's called authenticity I think.

[@jackmeeks2294]

I love how he is not afraid to have a good hard laugh at the more touchy subjects. He is an absolutely down to Earth and all around awesome dude!

[@L-hk7nq]

Democrats think he is so weird because he's normal and can sit down and have a natural conversation without having a scripted teleprompter tell him what to say

[@Frisco0311]

That's his life experience, and joining the Marine Corps does that to you. The down to earth part at least. Lol

[@bthull]

Its just honesty on display. When you live a decent and honest life, and tell the truth all the time, you don't have to be nervous about saying the wrong things. You can just relax and speak your mind.

[@Kr1st1n4.H]

I'm sitting here sobbing listening to him talk about his Mom's struggle with addiction. I too know the struggles o watching a loved one battle their own demons and I'm so proud to call this man our Vice President. Finally a politician who understands what this country has been dealing with on an unprecedented scale. May The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob protect President Trump and Vice President Vance and their families, protect and enlighten our countrymen. Unify us as Americans. In Jesus Christ's name Amen!!! 🙏

[@UniRick]

When he talks about “don’t let your parents addiction become your life” is so real for me. I let my mom’s addiction rule my existence for so long and blamed her for things that weren’t even her fault. I would tell anyone who would listen how she ruined my life. The thing I failed to realize is through years of hyper focusing on her I failed to live my own life. The cruelest trick addiction plays is making people who don’t have it think they have a chance of controlling it. love you mom❤

[@Sean-b6s]

This hit hard. ❤

[@TheNormydawg]

At the end JD didn't want to leave. They had such a great time and convo.

[@jcasey2309]

Long time listener and just wanted to drop a message. Because of the conversations had on this podcast, I was able to spend the last few months of my mother’s life openly forgiving her and being there for her in the end times of her life that she lost to lung cancer. Background: my mother had 4 children very young and has been an addict off and on her entire life. I moved out at 16 and lived the dark life for a couple years myself, but eventually became a critical care RN, and just recently a Medical Laboratory Scientist. Growing up, we lived in 15+ places growing up and in and out of the projects/family members basements or spare rooms, and also moved schools constantly. Just wanted to let you know that your Pod has been a source of therapy for a normal guy from Middle TN who is too prideful to go to actual therapy. Thanks dude

[@a.w.3772]

Wow, what an AWESOME testimony of yours! Wow, you're a scientist. How respectable. You're a legend, who broke the cycle of self destruction. 🎉

[@nicole-s3z3s]

I live with a family of alcoholics and pray for them daily. This message of releasing resentment hit me deep this morning. I needed to hear that.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

A very strong message and so true! The more resentful we get is what is destroying us! Compared to even 100 years ago we live in a world of so much abundance (yes it's very badly spread and that needs fixed), but if we can switch from a culture of resentfulness to a culture of gratefulness then we would be more on track to fix many of the issues we face!

[@JsWarrior]

Yes i lost my brother from alcohol. He was such a good loving soul and he was my favorite closest sibling. I just pray to see him again someday 😭💔🙏

I am not from the US but have been extensively following US politics since 2019. This guy, along with Vivek is the most likeable politician I have ever seen.

[@lee-chucheng2802]

Something interesting for you to know: Vivek Ramaswamy, who knew J.D. Vance while both were at Yale Law School, calls Vance an “an earnest guy ... somebody who was always sincere.” Ramaswamy adds: “We’ve all, in different ways, lived the American dream.”

[@lauderdale77]

I find it hilarious that a couple weeks ago I was talking to my mother because she had just finished reading the book hillbilly elegy. She was going on about how she swears she changed the diapers of the author when he was a kid. She's about the same age as Vance's mother and remembers her quite well because she lived a block down the road from them and can remember her bringing over her little son whenever she would come hang out. My mother does not follow politics in the slightest and when I mentioned to her that that's literally the guy that's running for vice president for the Republicans she died laughing. She had no idea that she's changed the diapers of what is probably going to be our future president in 2028 🤣🤣🤣🤣
