It's nothing short of a miracle that J.D. Vance is a household name.
00:01:18.900
Then went to Yale and earned a law degree and shared his heartbreaking story in a best-selling book.
00:01:31.220
But today, for many families, the American dream is now gone.
00:01:36.780
And this is the team tough enough to bring it back.
00:01:39.940
J.D. Vance understands that working families have become the forgotten families.
00:01:46.880
Under Biden, wages are going down while prices skyrocket.
00:01:51.720
Forcing the majority of Americans to live paycheck to paycheck.
00:01:55.680
Working families will have J.D. Vance fighting for them.
00:02:03.200
No more deciding between putting food on your table and paying for the prescriptions you need.
00:02:07.900
As a husband and father, J.D. knows the importance of fighting for a parent's right to protect their children.
00:02:16.660
And you can count on this Marine to stand up for our soldiers who put their lives on the line for their country every day.
00:02:24.820
J.D. Vance's story is one of perseverance, of duty, of commitment to what's right.
00:02:37.900
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board to a very special edition here on Human Events Daily.
00:02:42.460
Because there's been a lot of talk lately about the selection of Donald Trump's pick, J.D. Vance, as the vice president.
00:02:50.660
A lot of forces, a lot of machinations, a lot of factions that were against him.
00:03:00.680
Here at Human Events, we've got the inside story, and we're going to give it to you here today.
00:03:05.800
This is part one of the inside story of J.D. Vance.
00:03:09.560
Were you in the arena when Donald Trump entered?
00:03:14.240
There's all these different configurations here.
00:03:16.980
So where we are is just adjacent to where Donald Trump walked in.
00:03:24.600
I mean, when you see that bandage, you're like, you're two inches from that man being in a morgue.
00:03:33.400
J.D. Vance is the VP, which we're going to celebrate.
00:03:36.060
Did you hear about that, that J.D. is actually going to be the VP?
00:03:45.760
We should actually tell people who have only been watching this some of the news that broke today.
00:03:52.200
During the RNC speeches, it came out that Elon Musk is going to be donating an estimated $45 million.
00:03:59.380
All right, so that's the question, here's the question.
00:04:10.860
Every calendar month that has a day since his announcement.
00:04:13.100
It's like, you know how they push recurring donations now and it's $45 a month?
00:04:18.480
But then, you know, I don't know, maybe his finger slipped.
00:04:20.240
This is really important, everybody, because how long, Blake, have we been complaining?
00:04:24.240
Where are the elites, the elites of this top-down revolution?
00:04:26.720
It really is what's totally different about this race, is in 2016, there were a few people
00:04:34.700
Very few elites would really just step up and say, I like what Trump says.
00:04:40.360
But in the last year and a half, you've seen this seismic shift where way more people in
00:04:45.120
Silicon Valley are coming out and saying, publicly, I support Trump.
00:04:48.920
You and I both have sometimes had conversations with people in that world.
00:04:51.860
And they'll say, in private spheres, too, people will just say, oh, yeah, I'm voting
00:04:57.480
And now we're seeing that money line up to back him.
00:04:59.860
Yeah, and Elon was supporting Trump behind the scenes.
00:05:03.300
But something, Jack, I want your opinion on this.
00:05:05.700
Something set off in Elon's, like, mind as soon as he saw Donald Trump get shot.
00:05:13.000
I do know a little bit about this, and I'll just say, in the same vein, apart from talking
00:05:18.900
to people in that world, I've only spoken to Elon ever once, and it was in a public setting.
00:05:26.460
But I've been told at assassination plots, kidnapping for his many children, security
00:05:37.280
This was, like, for example, the whole thing with his private jet.
00:05:40.700
When he banned the guy who was tracking and doxing his private jet, people thought that
00:05:45.400
he was being, you know, flippant or that he was being, you know, like, acting like a diva
00:05:52.400
Like, he was actually concerned for the safety, not just of himself, but of everyone he tracks
00:05:57.460
with that could potentially be put a threat by that.
00:06:00.100
And so I always knew that that was something that he thought about a lot.
00:06:07.020
Like, I was surprised but not shocked when Elon pointed out that in the wake of that, that
00:06:13.740
I think he said something in the last six months that he had had two attempts on his life that
00:06:21.800
And, again, Elon, to his great credit, is now forking money over.
00:06:25.140
All right, folks, we're back here at Cuban Events Daily.
00:06:29.920
I got to tell you, the world is in flames and Bidenomics is a complete and total disaster.
00:06:36.500

00:07:30.720
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Usha Vance.
00:08:01.900
When I was asked to introduce my husband, J.D. Vance, to all of you, I was at a loss.
00:08:09.040
What could I say that hasn't already been said before?
00:08:11.780
After all, the man was already the subject of a Ron Howard movie.
00:08:20.520
J.D. has shared much of his life through his own eloquent words.
00:08:24.900
In his book, Hillbilly Elegy, during his Senate campaign, and now as a sitting United States
00:08:31.740
Senator, it occurred to me that there was only one thing to do, to explain from the heart
00:08:39.760
why I love and admire J.D. and stand here beside him today, and why he will make a great Vice
00:08:58.560
I met J.D. in law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State, which he attended with the
00:09:05.640
We were friends first, because, I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with J.D.?
00:09:09.720
He was then, as now, the most interesting person I knew, a working-class guy who had
00:09:17.460
overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom to end up at Yale Law School, a tough
00:09:23.920
Marine who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a good time was playing with puppies and
00:09:31.220
The most determined person I knew, with one overriding ambition, to become a husband and
00:09:41.080
a father, and to build the kind of tight-knit family that he had longed for as a child.
00:09:51.580
I grew up in San Diego, in a middle-class community...
00:09:55.220
...with two loving parents, both immigrants from India, and a wonderful sister.
00:10:07.040
That J.D. and I could meet at all, let alone fall in love and marry, is a testament to this
00:10:13.720
It is also a testament to J.D., and it tells you something about who he is.
00:10:29.900
When J.D. met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm.
00:10:36.680
He wanted to know everything about me, where I came from, what my life had been like.
00:10:42.360
Although he's a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learned
00:10:52.920
Before I knew it, he had become an integral part of my family, a person I could not imagine
00:11:03.460
The J.D. I knew then is the same J.D. you see today, except for that beard.
00:11:08.800
And his goals in this new role are the same that he has pursued for our family, to keep
00:11:17.460
people safe, to create opportunities, to build a better life, and to solve problems with an
00:11:26.740
It's safe to say that neither J.D. nor I expected to find ourselves in this position.
00:11:31.460
But it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of the American dream.
00:11:52.660
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
00:12:02.520
Raised by his grandmother through tough times, chosen to help lead our country through some of its greatest challenges,
00:12:10.420
I am grateful to all of you for the trust you've placed in him and in our family.
00:12:17.860
And with that, it is my great privilege to introduce my husband and the next vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance.
00:12:34.660
Guys, 48 hours a-ish ago, Donald Trump was exiting a hospital.
00:12:40.140
I want you to think of everything we've lived through since Saturday.
00:12:46.920
I was pretty quick on the draw because I have a funny story about this.
00:12:53.640
Because I broke Shabbat halfway through the morning.
00:12:56.940
Because someone contacted Erica saying, do you want J.D.B. vice president?
00:13:03.400
And so I said, do I really need to break Shabbat?
00:13:07.840
And so that's a big deal for me, to break Shabbat, right?
00:13:15.080
And so then, anyway, I had my phone open for the rest of the day.
00:13:18.020
And Erica, I kid you not, was like, she said, I think God wants you to have your phone on today.
00:13:26.400
And the first thing I started doing was looking for Erica's number.
00:13:31.420
So I had, and I'm like, and I'm like, why do I not have that?
00:13:34.320
I oddly called Charlie, he picked up, and I didn't think he was going to pick up.
00:13:37.320
And then I, yeah, and then I called Andrew, and he was like, Charlie already knows.
00:13:41.540
And so for people who don't know that Charlie is usually completely incommunicado, completely dark on Saturdays.
00:13:50.040
And it just so happens because there was this other thing going on that you happen to be on your phone on this Saturday when you're never on your phone on Saturdays.
00:14:00.280
And so I went to the gym, all of a sudden I see this, and you know what's amazing?
00:14:06.360
All of a sudden, she was like clinging on to me.
00:14:09.080
Like she could feel the energy in the room as soon as I was like, something's wrong.
00:14:13.000
She was like, you know that sensation with a two-year-old?
00:14:15.720
And she was like, like daddy's not, you know, necessarily confident what's happening.
00:14:21.080
And I was literally had to like claw her off and give her to Erica as I kept walking.
00:14:24.880
I kept walking across the gym closer and closer.
00:14:29.960
And, I mean, at that moment, I felt as if I was watching Kennedy, Malcolm X, MLK.
00:14:34.760
Because understand, like, yeah, Trump was defiant and everything.
00:14:37.760
He's still got a wound that he didn't realize, right?
00:14:44.560
By the way, you know, I'm not going to like pat ourselves on the back, but I know there were a lot of stories that came out and a lot of fog of war in the midst of that.
00:14:52.880
So I think we were what, we came to the live stream within, what, 45 minutes of us all getting the news.
00:14:58.680
And by the way, shout out to all the folks at the turning point, at the turning point, at the Charlie Kirk show.
00:15:14.860
And I really think that we did a good job of keeping things grounded, but also understanding of the potential for future threats.
00:15:26.260
But as we've learned more and more, a lot of the things that we brought up seem to have borne out.
00:15:35.300
And I think it was 6, 16 p.m. or so that it happened.
00:15:38.620
Are you guys, like, when you go to sleep, think about this, like, relentless?
00:15:41.960
I like weird that now the last, Tyler, are you with me?
00:15:45.300
That when I'm, like, closing my eyes, I think about Donald Trump's brains getting blown out?
00:15:49.540
I thought about that before that, though, because I was really worried because.
00:15:54.360
No, it's been, because we've talked about many times.
00:16:00.220
So, so for me, it's, it's, it's interesting because actually, um, and I'll, so when I first got the call, I was in a, so I was out, we're at the swim club and not far from where we live, but it's sort of like a low self, you know, low signal area, which I kind of like because you're, you did and you can just have fun and you don't, you don't feel as obligated to be on your phone.
00:16:30.220
Point, people weren't sure if he was shot in the ear or shot in the neck.
00:16:33.520
And for a second, I could feel that emotion just sliding up that.
00:16:38.340
It's everything about to, is, is the ground about to fall out completely.
00:16:42.520
And then, but I'll just say that it's, you just kind of do that sort of, I know it's cliche, but you do that military thing where it's like, okay, you just put that on the shelf and you just get to work.
00:16:50.580
So then today, history took Sunday off, I think.
00:17:02.400
He re-enters a convention with literally like missing part of his ear.
00:17:07.180
I mean, Elon Musk pledges that he's going to give $250 million-ish, $2 to $250 million-ish.
00:17:16.680
And I'm actually, I'm missing, there's other news that I'm missing.
00:17:31.900
We're not sure Trump knew who it was going to be.
00:17:35.160
We're not, we're not, we're not allowed to tell these stories now that it's done.
00:17:45.240
Within 15 minutes before Donald Trump's truth social post, J.D. Vance did not know he
00:17:52.500
Suspicion, not a single senior staff to their credit leaked.
00:17:56.440
And they were like, Hey, DJT is going to call you.
00:18:00.180
By the way, he was calling Rubio and Burgum too.
00:18:02.880
And J.D. is like, well, I think I have good vibes.
00:18:04.920
And we, I have big disagreements with Senator Lindsey Graham.
00:18:09.560
He was the one that was on the plane yesterday with Donald Trump heavily lobbying against J.D.
00:18:16.520
And the announcement would have happened before then if it wasn't for that.
00:18:32.100
Even worse, those doing the taking are the same people who've sworn to defend your freedom.

And it is a reminder of the sacred duty we have to preserve the American experiment
00:21:43.340
To choose a new path for our children and grandchildren
00:21:47.640
But as we meet tonight, we cannot forget that this evening could have been so much different
00:21:53.580
Instead of a day of celebration, this could have been a day of heartache and mourning
00:21:58.520
For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for the people of our country
00:22:19.440
Now prior to running for president, he was one of the most successful businessmen in the world
00:22:29.220
He had everything anyone could ever want in a life
00:22:36.260
He chose to endure abuse, slander, and persecution
00:22:44.060
I want all Americans to go and watch the video of a would-be assassin coming a quarter of an inch from taking his life
00:22:59.380
Consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump
00:23:03.920
And then look at that photo of him, defiant, fist in the air
00:23:08.960
When Donald Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field
00:23:40.620
Even in his most perilous moment, we were on his mind
00:23:48.160
To call us to something higher, to something greater
00:23:52.000
To once again be citizens who ask what our country needs of us
00:24:11.560
Literally right after an assassin nearly took his life
00:24:22.780
And I have to work with them for the next 10 years
00:24:29.520
You were very interested in the ideological part of politics
00:24:35.480
And you also were sick of endless and foreign wars
00:24:42.340
And or you don't necessarily have a political background
00:24:47.640
And just the way things are operating don't make sense
00:24:51.840
There was this conglomeration of people that were a little bit older
00:24:56.440
People that were part of the kind of permanent Washington
00:25:02.040
And they just floated from one non-JD choice to the other
00:25:09.600
Definitely saw that the business world really liked JD
00:25:13.060
They liked the energy that he brings to the Senate
00:26:00.920
And yet you can't say that the assassination attempt
00:26:05.300
But it just kind of changed the pallor of everything
00:27:39.740
There are several violations of the Greer Pledge
00:27:47.500
I was on the left and I believed the lies of Donald Trump
00:28:25.100
An interesting take I've heard from several people is
