This clip is going to be shared a million gajillion times in 2028. He is done.
DOKOUPIL: A poll found that corruption was the number 1 issue on voters' minds, even more than gas prices. Have you seen anything inside the White House when it comes to corruption that makes you squeamish? JD VANCE: I've never seen anything like that from the president

As a Muslim I have been workshopping and refining the perfect answer to this accusation for 25 years, and he just...tweeted it out. He is so damn good at this.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm. Wonder what’s changed?
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Saying Haitians eat their pets wasn't "imperfect" rhetoric. It was cruel deliberate slander.
Q: Why are you scapegoating immigrants for the issues you're supposed to be solving as the vice president? JD VANCE: To the extent my rhetoric has been imperfect, that's on me

This is not the kind of thing that’s said in any healthy democracy.
Vance: The president has a lot of authority because, the reality is, who's gonna stop him?

This feels like something that’ll end up in a campaign ad
Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died: Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable? Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

You know things are bad when even Dokoupil is calling you out on your bullshit.
JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ... DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Joe Biden's economy
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Vance attributed high gas prices mainly to ~20% US refining capacity lost under Biden, but EIA data shows ~5% net decline since 2020 peak (major drop pre-Biden; stable later). Prices spiked with 2026 Iran conflict. eia.gov/todayinenergy/… eia.gov/todayinenergy/… cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-… gasprices.aaa.com

This is as bad of an argument as I’ve ever heard
JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are. In my view, I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize something that happened 7 months ago."

Ooooof yeah
These are the golden years: 1. The chaos of leaving the house 2. Sticky handprints  3. Hearing them play without you   4. The “watch this” moments   5. Bedtime stories that never end 6. Their little voice saying "Dada"  7. The toys on the floor   8. Belly laughing together  9. Holding them when their sad Life is going so fast. Don't miss it parents.
