The Great America Show - The Great America Sunday Show： June 21, 2026

00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us and yet

00:00:06.260 another beautiful day in america thanks so much for being with us we're live tonight for the

00:00:10.300 great america show so as always let us know where you're tuned in from uh in the comment or the

00:00:15.700 whatever you call it chat section uh let us know um if you're enjoying the show all that good stuff

00:00:21.500 and let's get right into it heck of a day it was for vice president uh jd vance finding his way

00:00:28.960 into the Devil's Den over on The View with those lovely, delightful, peachy, happy.

00:00:38.380 What other adjective could we use to describe those great, great folks over there on The View?

00:00:46.060 Boy, did J.D. Vance take them to task.

00:00:50.080 And I think J.D. Vance today, and we're going to go into it in great depth,

00:00:53.180 But I think J.D. Vance today showed just why he's positioned himself, and I've been weary of it, and I've said to keep our options open and figure out when the time comes.

00:01:04.780 But I think J.D. Vance going into the devil's den today, showing what he's capable of and the unity he's capable of in this country shows just why I think he's positioned himself as of right now to be the best chance for the Republicans to move forward when Donald Trump eventually does leave office.

00:01:27.460 So I want to start. We're going to take a live view of what J.D. was dealing with today with some of the folks over there at the.

00:01:44.820 Whoops, that wasn't the video. That was what that's exactly what it sounded like today as J.D. had to go through the line of questioning.

00:01:54.220 And I got to say, they weren't as bad. They weren't as nasty as I expected them to be.

00:01:58.220 But nonetheless, they were who they usually are, just a little bit nicer than usual, I guess.

00:02:05.460 But J.D. was asked a plethora of questions, and he didn't shy from any of them.

00:02:09.760 Took every question at task, listened to them, and answered them very strategically.

00:02:14.920 And he was asked an array of things from Jeffrey Epstein to his cat lady, single cat lady comments that he had made back in the campaign, asked about welcoming people into the party. 0.60

00:02:29.140 And Whoopi, of course, did her little race baiting, I guess, is the easy way to do it.

00:02:37.600 So before we get into Whoopi and all of her missteps, one of the things that J.D. was asked about the list of Trump issues and what they're dealing with, the inflation, the issue, everything that's going on right now.

00:02:52.060 And I thought whether we've done a good job or not, and that's how they're going to vote.

00:02:55.780 OK, so President Trump has called affordability a hoax.

00:03:00.580 He said that, not me.

00:03:02.560 He's pouring money into this ballroom of his and the reflecting pool.

00:03:06.600 Oh, don't forget the arch to Trump pay. I call it. And a White House cage, a White House cage match.

00:03:13.640 All these things. Why is he doing them when you you just everybody knows that Americans are struggling?

00:03:19.820 What is he spending all this money for? Real quick, before we get to J.D.'s response, I don't mean to cut it off,

00:03:25.120 but I think it's important that she's reading off a note card and nowhere does she note that everything she had just listed

00:03:33.200 It was either paid for by Dana White and the UFC or by donations from private companies.

00:03:40.760 The ballroom, which was originally taken place to be paid for until they turned it into a national security dome, which we don't know is being built underneath it for national security.

00:03:52.320 But the brunt of the ballroom being paid for by Fortune 500 and large corporations as a donation to America. 0.98

00:03:59.440 But, of course, she was too dumb to know that. 0.98

00:04:01.400 Well, I got to defend the president on the hoax point. 0.99

00:04:04.100 What the president said is the idea that Republicans cause the affordability problem is a hoax. 0.51

00:04:10.180 And I think that's true.

00:04:11.120 If you go back to the Biden administration, inflation got up to 9% under the Biden administration.

00:04:16.360 OK, right now is at 3.5%.

00:04:18.440 By the way, too high.

00:04:19.660 We're doing everything that we can to bring it back down to two and a half percent, which is where most people would like to see it.

00:04:25.280 But we inherited an affordability problem.

00:04:27.660 We're doing a lot to make it better.

00:04:29.420 It's going to take a little bit of time.

00:04:30.820 There's a lot more work to do, but the president knows that a lot of Americans are struggling.

00:04:34.500 In fact, he ran on that.

00:04:36.080 He talked about it, and we've done some things and made some good progress on that point.

00:04:39.700 He just said he loves the inflation.

00:04:42.120 What he said, Anna, what he said is that he loves the fact that the inflation is going

00:04:46.700 to come down when this war is over.

00:04:49.280 That's what he said.

00:04:50.280 That's not what he said.

00:04:51.280 That wasn't a duress.

00:04:52.280 That's not what he said.

00:04:53.280 Wait, are you his interpreter or are you his vice president?

00:04:55.280 Come on.

00:04:56.280 Well, look, what the president said, people were asking about the inflation.

00:05:00.960 They were asking about the affordability problem, which, again, is very real.

00:05:03.700 And what he said is, I love the inflation because it's going to come down when the war is over.

00:05:08.580 And now, again, we already see gas prices, gas prices today, $4.06 a gallon, too high,

00:05:15.380 but way down from where they were just a couple of weeks ago.

00:05:17.780 So there's a lot, again, there's a lot we got to do, but I think that we're doing as much as we can.

00:05:22.840 We're going to keep on working at it.

00:05:23.840 And again, the American people are going to make their verdict.

00:05:26.280 But I think that we have a very credible case to run on that we brought a lot of new investment.

00:05:30.660 We're building the factories.

00:05:32.180 That is going to pay serious dividends for the American people over the long haul.

00:05:35.340 When?

00:05:36.560 Well, Joy, if you look at manufacturing jobs, those jobs are increasing at a large number.

00:05:43.880 Construction jobs are doing a little bit better.

00:05:45.420 So what happens is the construction jobs to build the factories and then the manufacturing workers go back to work.

00:05:50.540 That also leads to rising wages.

00:05:52.120 That's one of the things that I'm very proud of.

00:05:53.700 Obviously, if you look at the amount that wages are going up now compared to, say, 2022, they're going up way faster.

00:06:00.320 That's a good thing.

00:06:01.420 The affordability problem, again, gas, way too high right now.

00:06:05.260 Certain things, way too high.

00:06:06.740 You know, rents have been either flat or down for 12 months now.

00:06:10.800 So there are things that are showing signs of life, things that are showing signs of progress.

00:06:15.140 My view, I'm sure you guys don't agree with it, is that we inherited a mess and we're fixing it.

00:06:19.640 But sometimes it takes a long time to fix a mess.

00:06:22.180 Sunny.

00:06:22.520 Okay.

00:06:23.280 Mr. Vice President, according to a new report from The New York Times, 0.66

00:06:26.940 you were the leading voice behind the scenes to release the Epstein. 0.58

00:06:30.840 So they go into the Epstein, which we're going to go ahead and we're going to talk about.

00:06:33.960 But what they failed to mention there, the brilliant women on The View, 0.72

00:06:39.900 J.D. Vance, Vice President J.D. Vance, talking about the fuel affordability crisis there. 1.00

00:06:45.160 That was momentary. 1.00

00:06:47.000 I didn't hear these idiots on this panel talking for the last four years. 1.00

00:06:52.780 about Biden's man-made oil crisis. 1.00

00:06:58.320 They didn't care about inflation back then.

00:07:01.540 Couldn't care less.

00:07:02.620 Inflation was through the roof.

00:07:03.660 It was pummeling people.

00:07:05.620 Wages stagged it.

00:07:07.360 Didn't care to talk about it.

00:07:09.480 Didn't care to mention it.

00:07:12.980 So why all of a sudden do they care about the American people? 1.00

00:07:15.960 All those women presumably making high six-figure, 1.00

00:07:19.940 seven-figure salaries. 0.98

00:07:21.820 Now they want to talk like they care about the American people.

00:07:27.540 You heard one of them brush off there when JD talked about manufacturing.

00:07:32.420 I said, ah, because they don't care.

00:07:35.620 They don't care about manufacturing and the blue-collar workers that help build this country,

00:07:41.300 the blue-collar workers who build cars, the blue-collar workers who build airplanes,

00:07:46.300 The blue-collar workers who work in HVAC, work in plumbing, work in electric.

00:07:53.360 Blue-collar workers who built Manhattan right here behind me.

00:07:57.680 Because I don't give a damn.

00:08:00.020 They come to work, and they read whatever their producers write for them on those blue index cards.

00:08:06.720 And that's all they care about.

00:08:07.820 And they go home.

00:08:09.900 I don't give a damn about us.

00:08:12.340 And I thought it was nice that J.D. sat there and took them to a little bit of reality, took them down a path of what he and President Trump are doing.

00:08:29.040 And you know what? He didn't sit there and defend the issues that the administration has had thus far.

00:08:36.480 He said things are not as cheap as they should be. This is not where it should be.

00:08:41.520 And I think that's really important as a leader, because time and time again, we have issues in this country.

00:08:49.980 And I'd say at 90% of them, these politicians don't take accountability.

00:09:00.480 I can't think of a time where I've heard a politician say, I'm sorry, you were right.

00:09:06.760 or I apologize.

00:09:11.800 This is not how it should be.

00:09:14.900 Yeah, we saw J.D. Vance sit there

00:09:17.000 in front of a Marxist, dem, liberal panel,

00:09:21.720 and I have to assume most of the audience,

00:09:24.280 pretty dem,

00:09:26.100 and didn't deny it.

00:09:30.360 Yeah, there's some hiccups in the road.

00:09:32.760 But guess what?

00:09:33.980 We're working on getting it fixed

00:09:35.480 and we're working on making it better.

00:09:38.600 And it was sort of a breath of fresh air

00:09:41.240 to hear a politician take accountability

00:09:44.620 and say, yes, we're going to try to make it better.

00:09:49.020 It's not where we want it, but we're working on it.

00:09:53.260 And I think that's what the American people want to hear.

00:09:55.640 I think the American people understand doing this

00:09:58.580 for as long as I've been doing it, working in politics

00:10:00.600 for as long as I have.

00:10:02.040 Most of the American people

00:10:04.940 Working for politicians

00:10:06.080 You know, they don't want to hear

00:10:07.740 An excuse

00:10:10.260 But I think the American people

00:10:12.660 Probably respect

00:10:13.740 Politicians and people a little bit more

00:10:16.940 When they don't try to sugarcoat

00:10:22.620 When they don't try to BS

00:10:25.440 And when they take accountability

00:10:28.760 Folks, we're live tonight for the Great America Show

00:10:30.940 So let us know, as always, where you're tuning in from.

00:10:32.620 We're going to take a quick, you know the drill here, 60-second break,

00:10:36.040 and we're going to come back and we're going to continue talking about J.D. Vance

00:10:39.480 and him taking on these Scrooge over at The View this afternoon.

00:10:44.500 Don't turn that dial, folks. We're coming right back.

00:10:52.700 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show.

00:10:54.960 Let's get to some of your shout-outs before we move forward.

00:10:56.820 Good afternoon, Patriots.

00:10:58.060 Beautiful San Diego GW5-2.

00:10:59.860 a delight having you with us. Chris Holmes watching

00:11:01.800 tonight. Summer's Point, New Jersey.

00:11:03.880 Always a delight having you with us

00:11:05.840 on the Great America Show.

00:11:07.900 They kept trying to talk over our vice president and tried

00:11:09.780 not letting him get a word in edgewise, but

00:11:11.700 schooled them. He really schooled them.

00:11:13.760 Yeah, you know, I got to be honest, Chris.

00:11:15.140 I was surprised with

00:11:17.780 how much time they actually did give him.

00:11:20.080 Usually they jump down people's

00:11:21.980 throats and are just

00:11:23.800 total nuisances, but

00:11:25.060 not the best, obviously.

00:11:28.020 but I was surprised with, with what we've got dab over on YouTube.

00:11:33.980 No Vance as president. Listen, I, you know, I'm still open to ever,

00:11:37.540 but I here tonight to say that JD made the case that he's a leading

00:11:43.280 contender. Hello from beautiful Buffalo in the spring. Anyway, fall girl,

00:11:47.040 always a delight having you with us. Are the panel helping him?

00:11:51.260 Why would Vance go there, Cheryl? He actually went there.

00:11:54.120 He's got a new book out that he's selling.

00:11:55.860 and we're actually working on getting him on the show.

00:11:58.580 Maybe we'll head down to D.C. and do a sit-down with him,

00:12:01.800 or we'll do it remote, but we're working on getting the vice president

00:12:05.200 on the show and ask him all the tough questions, as anyone should.

00:12:12.060 Did you go to the UFC fight, my friend, Animal Lives Matter?

00:12:15.300 Actually, I did not.

00:12:17.300 I've been on the road way too much lately,

00:12:19.180 and I didn't get grounded back here.

00:12:22.480 We've got a Knicks parade, which I'm not sure if we're going to have a show

00:12:25.540 on Thursday. I'll warn you guys for now, but

00:12:27.580 first time in 53 years,

00:12:29.600 Knicks won the championship. They're going to have a parade

00:12:31.540 on Thursday here in New York, so

00:12:33.180 no promises. We'll have a show on

00:12:35.520 Thursday, as I may,

00:12:37.440 if you guys approve, need to take a personal

00:12:39.480 day off to

00:12:41.460 attend a parade that I may never get to

00:12:43.560 see again in my life.

00:12:45.460 As a matter of fact, I was supposed to be going to the World Cup

00:12:47.460 tomorrow, one of the World Cup games in Mexico

00:12:49.560 City, and I canceled it.

00:12:51.340 Invited down there, and I canceled it because

00:12:53.160 I couldn't miss this Knicks

00:12:55.240 Parade Thursday. That's how important it is to me

00:12:57.300 and that's how much it means to me, so

00:12:58.940 I apologize in advance.

00:13:02.300 Gutfeld's going to love this night.

00:13:03.440 Yeah, Gutfeld's going to have a blast with

00:13:05.280 what he did to them. The only thing missing

00:13:07.300 during the UFC fight at the White House was Hakeem Jeffries

00:13:09.320 and Chuck Schumer with their sombreros

00:13:10.740 before being sent to Iran with shovels

00:13:13.280 to remove the nuclear dust. Yeah, 0.74

00:13:15.380 GW, I heard they're on their way

00:13:17.280 over there right now to

00:13:19.320 begin the

00:13:21.160 deconstruction of the

00:13:22.680 the nuclear facilities has, of course, they should be.

00:13:27.840 So getting back to JD and the case, I think, like I said,

00:13:32.560 that I think he made for being the leading contender in 2020.

00:13:40.480 And now it's still a ways away and a lot of stuff can happen.

00:13:42.680 And I've said this from the beginning, I've argued with Mark Mitchell

00:13:45.860 and I still call Mark Mitchell every,

00:13:49.620 every few days and argue with him and bust his chops because Mark was all in.

00:13:54.100 And, you know, I said, we've got to give it some time.

00:13:56.600 Takes a lot of time, but we're leading up to the midterms right now.

00:14:00.080 And I think from what I'm told is JD is not a hundred percent that he's going to

00:14:05.460 run in, in 2028. He's not in a hundred percent.

00:14:08.900 His heart's not there a hundred percent. I think it's going to determine,

00:14:12.360 it'll be determined on what happens in the midterm elections and how the

00:14:15.300 Republicans could perform. So,

00:14:18.040 So this, I think, is him building his case.

00:14:21.740 But nonetheless, J.D. was asked about his comments of President Trump in the past and what brought him back to President Trump, what brought him to supporting President Trump.

00:14:35.460 And I thought it was beautiful and articulate.

00:14:38.560 First of all, it's been well covered that I was a critic of Donald Trump back in 2015 and 2016.

00:14:44.280 Now, obviously, I'm sitting here as the Vice President of the United States in the Trump

00:14:47.580 administration.

00:14:48.580 Well, Joy, a little humility, actually.

00:14:51.780 I think that when you make predictions, and those predictions turn out to be false, you

00:14:56.060 got to ask yourself, well, what made me wrong about that?

00:14:58.840 What did I not understand or not appreciate?

00:15:01.280 For example, I said that Donald Trump's economic policies would not lead to wage growth.

00:15:06.840 They did in the first term.

00:15:08.480 That was actually a major, major thing.

00:15:10.160 I said that we couldn't bring back any of those factory jobs because I kind of had given

00:15:13.800 into this idea that those jobs were disappearing. But actually, Donald Trump, you saw a manufacturing

00:15:18.820 boom during that administration. So there's a certain point where you say, I made predictions

00:15:27.940 about this. I ended up being wrong. And in politics and anything, I think it's important

00:15:32.780 to just say, you know what? I got some things wrong, and I was wrong about him.

00:15:37.740 And there you have it, folks. And that's a man, like I said, who takes count of it.

00:15:42.200 There are so many people from 2020, from 2016, who still haven't come forward and admitted they were wrong on Trump.

00:15:57.680 Like I said, I think it takes a certain kind of person.

00:16:00.520 It takes a man.

00:16:03.640 We all have pride.

00:16:06.280 And trust me, nobody knows how hard it is to swallow their pride.

00:16:09.740 It comes to me.

00:16:12.200 I know how hard it is.

00:16:15.140 I used to argue with Lou Dobbs every day about something.

00:16:19.060 And boy, did it take a lot for me to admit when I was wrong.

00:16:22.200 And more often than not, I was wrong.

00:16:25.240 And he put me in these traps and I'd fall for him every time.

00:16:29.400 But I think it makes you a better man and it makes you a better human being

00:16:33.000 when you're able to do things like that.

00:16:35.820 So I have a newfound respect, higherfound respect for J.D. Vance,

00:16:40.140 for him to go out there in front of these Marxist loons and admit, hey, I was wrong. 0.89

00:16:51.460 You know, I made a mistake. But here I am. Now, J.D. also reaffirmed something that

00:16:59.520 doesn't matter if you voted for him and President Trump this last election.

00:17:04.100 Everyone's invited to the party. And everyone's invited to have fun with.

00:17:08.200 I think everybody is welcome in our political coalition.

00:17:11.620 Frankly, even if you didn't vote for us, everybody is welcome in our country,

00:17:15.180 so long as you're an American citizen with the duties and the legal obligations and rights to be here.

00:17:19.840 But let me just give you an example of this.

00:17:21.500 OK, so you say that we're anti-minority or anti-black.

00:17:24.740 No, I didn't say that. I asked. See?

00:17:26.720 OK, OK, fine. Fair, fair.

00:17:28.680 Don't start any stuff with me, man. Don't get me in trouble.

00:17:32.600 Don't start no stuff with me.

00:17:34.360 I misinterpreted your question, but let me answer your actual question there.

00:17:40.440 What I'm saying, I think, okay, look at Washington, D.C.

00:17:44.700 One of the most democratic and one of the blackest, by a share of population, blackest cities in the United States of America 0.96

00:17:50.520 has seen a radical decrease in violent crimes and sexual assaults and in murders. 0.62

00:17:56.280 We have tried to take the crime issue seriously in part because we believe everybody,

00:18:01.500 Whether you're black or white or rich or poor, deserves to live in a safe neighborhood.

00:18:05.840 Why does the crime step in?

00:18:09.240 This is not about crime.

00:18:10.980 This is about human rights.

00:18:15.700 What you're saying is we've got to do more on the economy. 0.79

00:18:19.920 Black history has been erased from public spaces.

00:18:22.220 Black history is not erased from public spaces. 1.00

00:18:24.160 You have to get to Iran when we get back.

00:18:27.420 I'm telling you, we celebrate black history.

00:18:30.140 We celebrate all American history in this administration.

00:18:32.800 You guys might be skeptical of this, but I promise you it's good.

00:18:37.180 Oh, thank goodness they had to go to break because they just couldn't help themselves there.

00:18:42.520 Like I said, they were doing all right for a little bit.

00:18:46.240 And they would go off on these little tangents.

00:18:49.180 So with them going to break, we're going to take one more quick break.

00:18:51.760 It's our last break here.

00:18:53.000 Less than 60 seconds.

00:18:53.980 You know the drill.

00:18:54.740 We're coming right back.

00:18:55.860 We're going to get a little bit deeper into this because J.D. was asked about Jeffrey Epstein.

00:18:59.920 He was asked about immigration, and Whoopi wants to know why Donald Trump is removing all the black history.

00:19:06.940 I'm not quite sure what she was talking about, but maybe you guys can help me figure it out after this quick break.

00:19:13.320 Please, folks, stay with us. We're coming right back.

00:19:20.880 Let's get to some of your questions here before we move forward.

00:19:27.440 J.D. has my vote.

00:19:28.360 I'd love to see him bring Marco Rubio on as vice president.

00:19:30.740 Yeah, I think that would probably be a pretty good ticket, Chris.

00:19:34.140 And from what I was told from somebody who sat in a room with,

00:19:39.820 and that person may have said it on the show before, I don't recall,

00:19:42.500 so I'm not going to sell them out.

00:19:43.700 But they sat in a room with J.D., Marco, and President Trump,

00:19:46.980 and Marco has vehemently said, I will not run if J.D. runs.

00:19:52.240 So there you have that.

00:19:54.680 I think it's totally up to J.D. on what he decides to do.

00:20:02.480 Joy was secretly liking J.D.

00:20:03.980 Yeah, I think they all were.

00:20:06.280 I met him many times, and he's a very nice person, very logical person,

00:20:14.700 very down-to-earth, not pompous in any way, shape, or form.

00:20:19.440 And I think the difference between him and President Trump is J.D. listens.

00:20:22.940 I'm not saying Trump doesn't

00:20:25.440 but Trump usually has his mind

00:20:27.540 made up about what he wants to

00:20:28.980 he'll hear people out but I think

00:20:31.280 JD actually listens

00:20:32.780 and takes opinion

00:20:35.320 based on fact

00:20:37.500 and makes opinion based on fact

00:20:39.540 and takes

00:20:41.700 things into consideration

00:20:43.420 JD Vance should have

00:20:47.480 come on The View with a Whoopi

00:20:49.340 Goldberg wig oh boy I wouldn't 1.00

00:20:51.460 want to see that gw these women should be in a mental institution and why they still have joy 1.00

00:20:57.540 whippy still on the view why do why do you women still go to see them they've been on epstein 0.99

00:21:04.140 island and they were part of the sex trafficking parent children and girls you know that marianne

00:21:08.200 that's an interesting one because they were all hung up on an epstein and we're going to get to

00:21:12.640 that i'm going to save what i have to say because i got a little riff on it but you're 100 correct 0.97

00:21:20.380 she said in so many ways in the past not today oh she makes me sick yeah she's uh insane black

00:21:29.280 labs matter jd knew he was walking to the lions then it was ready for them steve yeah i don't 1.00

00:21:34.460 think uh jd shies away from these nimbecils and he has no reason to quite honestly he's smarter 0.97

00:21:46.380 than every single one of them she's certainly hostile sunny hostile yeah she really is uh they 1.00

00:21:55.480 really need to call the coven to the place large cauldron the center of the set yeah they're they're 0.87

00:22:00.360 evil women so anyway so i want to get to the epstein thing because of course they've uh all

00:22:06.360 been hung up on the epstein thing they're care so much about the victims they're heartbroken they're

00:22:11.820 sick uh about them yet they revere hillary clinton they revere bill clinton who were good friends

00:22:20.580 of mr jeffrey epstein they had all these socialites and best friends but when it comes

00:22:27.820 time to donald trump of course it's a it's a different situation he was best friends with

00:22:32.640 him he was in mar-a-lago okay well bill clinton was on epstein island bill clinton was on his

00:22:38.240 private jet bill clinton was alone with him in in situations and rooms when donald trump wasn't

00:22:45.680 so make up your mind do you either care about the victims or do you just care about going after

00:22:53.540 president trump so let's take a listen but you know one of the things you see in the epstein

00:22:59.020 emails is that jeffrey epstein hated donald trump and that donald trump literally reported jeffrey

00:23:05.600 Epstein to the police.

00:23:06.600 That's one of the things that came out of these files.

00:23:08.600 They were best friends for about a decade.

00:23:10.020 And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women,

00:23:15.660 Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure

00:23:20.480 of not signing. 0.91

00:23:21.480 He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting 1.00

00:23:27.120 for that bill.

00:23:28.120 So let me respond to that.

00:23:29.120 That's all true.

00:23:30.120 Let me respond to that.

00:23:31.120 So number one is, yes, Donald Trump, he said this.

00:23:34.220 He knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s.

00:23:36.340 He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported

00:23:39.720 him to the police.

00:23:40.960 That's something that the media often misses when it reports this story.

00:23:44.300 They tell the fact that they knew each other in the 80s, which the president himself admits.

00:23:48.260 They ignore the fact that he narked on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey

00:23:52.160 Epstein's downfall.

00:23:53.480 To that point, Anna, you know the Republican Party-

00:23:55.660 I know that Jeffrey Epstein's downfall.

00:23:56.660 Well, it's one of the things that led to law enforcement investigation, but on the

00:23:59.600 point that you made-

00:24:00.600 over a real estate deal that they hadn't got into a fight over but the email says

00:24:05.720 the email says actually you know each other let's just be truthful and

00:24:09.240 transparent they didn't just know each other and a lot of they were incredibly

00:24:12.240 close friends he reported him to the police that's what I'm saying that is

00:24:15.820 objective that is objectively true I think I would be if I may animate a

00:24:23.400 very important point this question about did Donald Trump release these files

00:24:27.480 only under duress from Republicans, and Anna, you know the Republican Party probably better

00:24:33.160 than I do.

00:24:34.160 The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen, as opposed to the

00:24:38.800 other way around, is kind of crazy.

00:24:40.800 What was a bipartisan note?

00:24:42.640 It's a joke, because he's totally right.

00:24:48.360 The notion that Donald Trump is worried about any 435 member of Congress or 100 senators,

00:24:55.400 or the 50-whatever Republicans.

00:24:57.500 It's a joke.

00:25:00.740 And they didn't, of course, want to acknowledge

00:25:02.880 Donald Trump kicking him out of Mar-a-Lago.

00:25:12.860 They didn't want to acknowledge

00:25:14.440 that Donald Trump went to the Miami PD 0.96

00:25:18.480 and said this guy's a pervert. 0.94

00:25:23.700 Come and get this guy. 1.00

00:25:25.400 The guy's a pervert. 0.99

00:25:28.100 So no, they didn't want to acknowledge any of that 0.98

00:25:30.780 because they'd be hurting their good friends,

00:25:33.400 Hillary and Bill Clinton. 1.00

00:25:36.780 Or the rest of their Hollywood scum 1.00

00:25:39.920 who revered and respected 1.00

00:25:45.300 and kissed the rear end of Jeffrey Epstein.

00:25:50.320 Didn't want to acknowledge that he was the one

00:25:52.120 who kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. 0.78

00:25:53.320 Bill, I'd love to know what her thoughts on Bill Clinton are.

00:26:00.340 What do they think about Bill Clinton being best friends with him?

00:26:05.060 They certainly loved Hillary.

00:26:09.860 So it's sort of interesting.

00:26:16.040 That they all of a sudden care about the victims.

00:26:20.820 It's a joke.

00:26:22.600 You ask me.

00:26:24.220 Now, the other thing that was sort of a joke was they asked him about immigration. 0.90

00:26:31.420 Because he's immigration women experts.

00:26:34.960 And they're sure, they're positive.

00:26:39.500 That good old illegals and not criminals, like they're not all criminals.

00:26:46.320 You come to this country illegally, you committed a crime. 0.96

00:26:49.360 By default, you're a criminal.

00:26:51.660 But not all these people being deported are actually criminals is what they want to tell us a criminal record 0.98

00:26:56.840 They had a sex a sex trash conviction have criminal records so the majority of people that ice is rounding up and taking 0.81

00:27:03.640 Taking out of their homes from their families. They're separating families. There's they're using children as bait 0.98

00:27:10.240 But let me majority are not criminals. Can I respond to that guys? Let me just say this. Okay

00:27:14.100 So you talk about the children. Here's what I'd say. Do we know that during the last administration?

00:27:21.080 We had tens of thousands of children who were sex trafficked by the cartels, who were brought into our country in profoundly dangerous and predatory conditions.

00:27:31.120 Let's talk about this administration.

00:27:32.880 But here's the point.

00:27:33.960 Unless you enforce the border, you invite that kind of conduct.

00:27:37.660 You think that our immigration policies are inhumane based on the reporting of one person with a political bias.

00:27:44.000 What I'm telling you is that it's inhumane to allow cartels to sex traffic people across our border.

00:27:49.940 And by the way, please hold on. I appreciate that. I'm going to get you back. We're coming. We're coming back with more with the vice president.

00:28:00.000 So now that all of a sudden they're immigration experts. They're geniuses. Whoopi Goldberg, I also didn't know, was a professional on black history. And apparently it's the first I'm hearing it.

00:28:15.220 Donald Trump is destroying black history. 0.92

00:28:21.420 We're talking about people. 0.99

00:28:23.240 What did black people do to this administration

00:28:27.500 that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color?

00:28:35.960 And you know how hard it is.

00:28:38.660 You have folks of color in your family.

00:28:41.640 Sure.

00:28:41.820 So when you see, you know, things, the Emmett Till stuff coming down or them doing all kinds of removal of information of black heroes, how do you, how do you, how does that sit with you?

00:28:59.600 Well, what do you, what exactly are you talking about, Whoopi?

00:29:02.380 Because you just, I know Emmett Till was, I can tell you all the stuff.

00:29:06.140 No, no, I want to know what she's, I want to respond to your actual report.

00:29:09.600 So in a lot of the museums, there's so many, I just, you know, where they're taking down

00:29:20.120 the actual history that happened in this country.

00:29:24.160 Slavery happened.

00:29:26.120 All kinds of stuff happened.

00:29:27.700 And it seems that it has been very easy for this administration to remove that and also

00:29:34.380 to denigrate black folks 0.82

00:29:39.900 who have worked their behinds off 0.96

00:29:42.000 to get this American dream.

00:29:44.780 How do you, I mean, you know that.

00:29:50.960 So Sonny, that was actually

00:29:52.960 a very helpful intervention

00:29:53.800 because I think the story

00:29:54.780 you're talking about

00:29:55.440 is where, you know,

00:29:57.000 allegedly the administration

00:29:58.140 is holding back the appointments

00:29:59.900 of people based on skin color.

00:30:01.600 I've seen this story.

00:30:02.420 I'm talking about a host of things.

00:30:02.860 I'm talking about black history 0.98

00:30:03.980 getting erased from public spaces black voter districts are being dismantled black leaders

00:30:08.940 are being sidelined from um our ranks where do americans of color fit in this vision because it

00:30:14.780 doesn't seem like we fit i i think so my view and if i and if i may since october of last year

00:30:23.180 there's been something like 6668 refugees allowed into the country all but three were white south

00:30:31.500 africans so first of all i'm very i'm very skeptical of that number because we have a

00:30:36.860 lot of different immigration pathways in the united states of america but let me just address

00:30:40.140 whoopi's point look first of all you asked the question and maybe you don't believe this coming

00:30:44.700 from me but i think everybody is welcome in our political coalition frankly even if you didn't

00:30:49.660 vote for us everybody is welcome in our country so long as you're an american citizen we heard

00:30:54.780 that part before but it's hysterical that they're history buffs and they want to talk about the 0.80

00:31:01.100 If that's the case in the African-American community, and you're going to say, what are we supposed to do?

00:31:07.440 Then why did Donald Trump get such record support among Republicans if the African-American community believed he was such a racist? 1.00

00:31:15.320 They don't believe that shit. 0.99

00:31:18.600 They don't believe anything these people are saying, which is why their numbers are at record lows. 1.00

00:31:23.680 And why Donald Trump's numbers among the black and Hispanic communities were at record highs.

00:31:29.880 So who are they selling this to? 0.94

00:31:33.880 Who are they selling this nonsense to?

00:31:39.160 They're only fooling themselves.

00:31:42.420 I don't think anybody else.

00:31:46.580 I mean, it's a joke.

00:31:49.580 Now, one of the other things J.D. was asked about in his book,

00:31:53.320 he talks about his single cat lady comment, which I thought was funny.

00:31:58.900 True in some cases.

00:31:59.900 Next question.

00:32:00.900 Okay.

00:32:01.900 So in the book, Mr. Vice President, you make a mea culpa of sorts for calling Democrats

00:32:08.420 childless, childless cat ladies.

00:32:10.460 Oh, man.

00:32:11.460 I'm not a boneheaded comment.

00:32:12.460 You say that in the book, that it was boneheaded, which it was.

00:32:15.920 Thank you.

00:32:18.040 What were you thinking when you said that?

00:32:19.800 So Joy said when we were all fair that I'm fine, which I think is about the best endorsement

00:32:23.380 that I'm going to get out of Joy Behar for a Republican.

00:32:25.680 Thank you.

00:32:26.680 I appreciate that.

00:32:27.680 Graded on a curve here at The View.

00:32:28.680 You know, I guess one of the things that I try to do,

00:32:31.760 and I'm always, you know, all of us are always learning.

00:32:34.340 You know, you said you were a lapsed Catholic.

00:32:36.400 I'm a bad Catholic.

00:32:37.380 I think all of us, that's why we need grace as Christians

00:32:40.380 is because we recognize that there are certain things we've got to work on.

00:32:42.900 Right.

00:32:43.320 But here's what I'd say about that.

00:32:44.480 So did that comment actually shed light on something and start a discussion,

00:32:49.680 or did it just close people down?

00:32:51.680 And when I make a comment that just closes people down,

00:32:54.240 instead of trying to appreciate the point that I make, that's a mistake, right?

00:32:57.500 And that's on me to do better.

00:32:58.560 Because the point that I'd say on that, Joy, is I do think in a very subtle, sometimes

00:33:04.820 in a more profound way, I think our country has become more anti-family and more anti-child.

00:33:11.520 It's harder to travel.

00:33:12.800 It's harder to go to a restaurant.

00:33:13.740 We have 10 seconds.

00:33:14.700 Mr. Vice President, we know your grandchild is arriving.

00:33:18.980 No grandbabies yet.

00:33:20.040 Not yet.

00:33:38.760 he's the best chance of beating the marxist dems even if you were a democrat in that room
