family with a drug addict mother who changed several husbands, he went to college, studied at yale universitythought he had a great political future. there is no question, he is very capable. unlike trump, he is not buffoonish. of great intelligence and talent, very disciplined with great ambitions, even greater than that of an ordinary politician. he differs from them in his incredible moral and intellectual flexibility. relations with the 45th president of the united states are a clear example of such flexibility. just 8 years ago, vance was considered one of the most irreconcilable critics. trump, compared him to hitler and urged him not to succumb to his intoxication. there is no place for reflection in false euphoria. trump is a culture of logical heroin, for a while he makes you feel better, but he doesn't let you correct the causes of anxiety, and one day everyone will understand. donald trump paid his fellow party member in the same coin and did not spare him verbal poison. the new york times published a false article. allegedly , j.d. vance doubts whether he needs my support? yes. ja

joining me as a professor of history at yale university. expert on the history of fascism. on tyranny, lessons from the 20th century and he joins me now. where do you see us at this crucial juncture? particularly given what has been put spelled out and that document? the ascendancy of explicitly sort of pro-authoritarian voices in the republican party and the policymaking apparatus with specific plans for using the government along the lines that victor arbon and others have used it in their countries. how do you take this, seriously? >> before we get to that i want to say a word about the politics. you started your monologue talking about biden and the things you and i are afraid of and rightly so in viewers are afraid of and rightly so is only part of the story. biden and his people will have to be able to reach independence and undecided voters who don't know about this material or who have other concerns besides this material. before we shift over to the disaster which is project 2025 and the tyranny that will follow if trump wins the election, want to make that point.

by his grandmother, and after serving in the marine corps, he managed to enter the prestigious yale universitycording to cnn, trump was advised to choose jady vance as his running mate by his son at a dinner in maralaga, the ex-president hesitated with the choice and donald trump is younger. assured his father that senator otagaya, who by that time had already been called the voice of the rust belt of america, sincerely believed in the trump program, but this was not always the case; at the beginning of his political career, vance openly declared himself an anti-trumpist, but 3 years ago, at the first personal meeting with trump, vance apologized for his words and trump not only forgave the young republican, but even supported him in the fight for the position of senator. in his first interview since running for office... as far as i know, president trump promised to negotiate with russia and ukraine and quickly end this conflict so that america can focus on the main problem - china, which is the biggest threat to our country, deal with it as quickly as possible. all-russian university program

now, whether that's true, whether rust belt, rust belt voters trust yale universities, jd vance, who went to san francisco as a tech bro and sat next to me at cnn as a never trumper, whether they trust him, we'll see. but i think that's the play. >> i think there's another tactical or technical reason they chose him. you heard donald trump junior yesterday in the wake of the pig say, i've seen him on tv. i've seen what he can do it is absolutely true. jd vance is one of the most skillful television debaters in the senate and the republican conference right now, he is become probably trump's best explainer and defender in these situations that we're often in here together and that's important. i mean, the democratic tickets biggest problem right now, they can't communicate anything everything they do to try to communicate falls apart and so now they've put vance on the ticket, who i suspect is essentially the surrogate in chief for their agenda as outbound communications matter i want to ask about the trial because he has been vitriolic himself some of his statements right after the s
