i have talked to j.d. vance about this. author of hillbilly elegy who read successfully for the senate. we came from the same hometown in ohio. when you read hillbilly elegy, you are reading about where i grew up. host: interesting. guest: the boom of the 60's and 50's was different from the town in ohio that j.d. vance grew up i where then steel mill was closing. dozens of other factories across ohio that used to be there when i was growing up, are no longer there. the good life that was therefore working class ohioans is not there anymore. i went to ohio university with only $700 tuition. now -- last time i checked it was around $14,000. the good life, we used to know after world war ii. it is not there anymore. i don't blame them for being upset. it the obligation of the political class. it comes down to the candidates themselves. do you them or not? do they have your best interest in -- do you trust to them or not? do you have yo -- do they have your best interest in mind? are you still worried whether your son or daugh

j.d. vancethe senators, said, i don't even know if you're qualified or not, but i don't like your approach, because you're pandering. the they need economic health. guess who is doing that. 1-2-3 china. also russia. we need to aid these countries in their quest to thrive in that continent. >> right, exactly, brine. her last post was ambassador to ghana. during her post there, she was calling, demanding for gay rights parades in ghana during her 2020 fourth of july address, which was done virtually, of course, because of covid, and she was scared of the coronavirus. she was talking about george floyd and structural racism. one of the things that senator vance is trying to focus on is that these state department officials are completely political sizing their positions, and they're not necessarily not qualified to begin with. >> joe, we used to have different philosophies, i get it, during the cold war, but seems like we have to convince our state department to like america, be proud of it when yo

in the mid-terms, the candidates that didn't bury their head in the sand, like j.d. vanceked about this issue and beat tim ryan. brian kemp won the governorship talking an't -- about his pro life views. democrats have said they're extremists. and in a harris poll taken a month later after the opinion was leaked and released shows 72% of the country, including a majority of women believe in restrictions of 15 weeks. you can't find a single democrat in 2024 or in 2022 that will issue a single restriction on abortion. so republicans have allowed democrats to define them rather than leaning in to the majority opinion about abortion in the united states of america. >> martha: due agree with that, mark? do you think that democrats were allows to define the narrative on this through tik tok influencers and other places that really made a difference last time and may this time as well? >> well, i think democrats are winning on this issue. i think even though the public is somewhat split, they oppose third try: -- tri-mester. the majority do support these drinks in the first ten we

he was a sealer force and driving the candidacy of j.d. vance.en a rallying point for the republican party's opposition -- under the biden administration, but under the trump administration he had this unique ability to speak to what was going on in the white house and influence via his primetime show. there were times when segments not only led to trump tweeting and direct response -- in direct response in real time, but also issuing directives for his administration via twitter. as you mentioned with the segment on greg abbott's pardon and avid sending national guard troops -- abbott sending national guard troops to the u.s. border, those were driven by tucker carlson. in the past 6, 7 years, no one else has been able to observe that kind of influence over the republican party. it creates a major vacuum in the right-wing media ecosystem. amy: madeline peltz, before this was o'reilly who went down over sexual harassment and then you have tucker carlson. if you could talk about the other people. now there will be rotating hosts. but it seems anyo

let's bring in the senator from ohio j.d. vance. senator, thank you very much for being with us.u just left the floor where this was up for vote. >> let's get to how that's going and how this is going to help us win over africans in this geopolitical battle with china global dominance and influence. >> i objected and i think it's important that we have a full debate in the senate because we have foreign policy right now, i hate to say it from the biden administration, that's based on hectoring and moralizing. it's based on taking the most radical far left ideas and basically building a moralizing foreign policy around that instead of trying to make a trade with people where they get something good and we get something good in return. terrible for foreign policy and to your point, if you are in ghana, what do you want? a lecture from awoke white woman in america or do you want somebody who help you build hospitals, roads and bridges. it's an easy answer. the fact that we are sending so many diplomats to africa and other places who can't answer the question the right way is really

joining me now is ohio senator j.d. vance. senator , it seems to me that the administration is preparing for bad news in ukraine and they're looking for a way to kind of frame it as a non loss, even if it's not a success. your comments, given everything you're seeing from your vantage point? well, i think the administration and laura, to your point, doesn't have a strategy. they have no idea what they're trying to accomplish. they have no idea how to accomplish it. what they've basically done is thrown one hundred and 30 billion dollars into a russian and ukrainian money pit. they've drawn down critical weapon supplies and artillery and missiles and other systems, weapons supplies that we should be using in taiwan to prevent the chinese from invading taiwan. and so now they see the writing on the wall that the ukrainian fighting forces, they've told us for a year are just on the cusp of victory, are nowhere closer to victory today than they were a year ago. so there's already this parlor game in washington where people are try

are suspects along wit through the most reckles republican senators senator, mark lee, senator j.d. vance are appropriate ways of whic the u.s. can support ukrainian people, but a limited ar supplies in support of it an this war is not one of them, our national interest, and those of the ukrainian peopl are best served by incentivizing the galatian theater urgently needed to bring this conflict resolution we strongly urge you t advocate for a negotiated peac between the two sides, bringin this awful conflict to a close under strain u.s. aid fo ukraine must come to an end. joining us now is timoth snyder, professor of history a yale university. he's the author of the note on freedom, russia, europe, america. professor snyder what is you response to that letter? >> well, there is a basi logical error which all good republicans who know about national security mediatel grasp. which is that you don't have a choice between war and negotiation. we all want the war to end but unfortunately, this is the sor of for where the aggressor has to be defeated if you want peace there's only going to be p

you had the new senator from ohio j.d. vanceo gave a really overall excellent interview with the american conservative on his foreign policy please. it would have been unlikely in 2003 or 2004 c a republican senator from a state like ohio say what he was saying and print , so there have been some changes overall that have been positive, and there are signs we are moving in a better direction in terms of american foreign policy since iraq. on the other hand, in a lot of ways, nothing has changed. the professor dived into a lot of this so i apologize if it sounds repetitive, but we have to be honest that the worst advocate, cheerleader, purveyors of the iraq war have not been held accountable and continue to exercise outsized influence in most of our key institutions. the media is an absolute disgrace that jeffrey goldberg and david from our effectively running what is supposed to be one of our most cost and respected publications of the atlantic, and that they can with a straight face continue to live about the iraq war, mainly p

aggressively defending the man you have lindsey graham, weeping for trump on nationa tv, and then you have j.d. vanceot a racist dog whistle, but a bigotry megaphone at thi point. >> tara, congresswoman marjori taylor greene says she's gonna come to new york, and she' going to do it ahead o tuesday's arraignment of donal trump. green is far from a moderate republican, but can we expec tara, to see more republican being more outspoken as we get closer to the arraignment on tuesday? >> well it doesn't get muc more outrageous than marjori taylor greene. but you know what, key platform-ing her keep demonstrating to th american people what we've bee predicting that she actually runs the republican party she represents what the mega's have done. they now dominate th republican party there are no more normal republicans. and apparently, the idea of th rule of law, upholding the constitution, the separation o powers, again, the republicans have demonstrated that the don't give a dam about any o that they continue to prostitut themselves for donald trump. and they continue, i mea lindsey graham, i mean get of
