If that's how we're doing it, JD, then we here at The Late Show also enjoy humor, the host declared. He proceeded to roll a heavily censored AI animation of Vance humping a sofa while wearing a sombrero in callback to an internet hoax that falsely claimed Vance once wrote about such an encounter in his memoir. The rumor, long debunked, was recycled through online memes during the 2024 campaign.
It sure looked like 25th Amendment day in the White House today, where Donald Trump was not publicly visible, and the vice president of the United States took to the microphone on day one of the government shutdown to basically assure the country, I guess, that he's in charge. And very specifically and deliberately to draw attention to Donald Trump's public insanity by actively seeking out an opportunity to talk publicly about Donald Trump's manifestations of outright insanity.
The political leadership of their party has got it into their heads that the only way to be compassionate is to be compassionate to illegal aliens, rather than American citizens, Vance said.
Is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries in a sombrero if you're trying to have good faith talks with him? asked the reporter Oh, I think it's funny! The president's joking, and we're having a good time. You can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little bit of fun at some of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions and even, you know, poking some fun at the absurdity of the Democrats themselves, replied Vance.
One Trump adviser who insisted that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are both at their wits' end with Israel, told Axios that Netanyahu would be to blame for enabling Hamas and doing nothing for the Palestinians who have so many humanitarian needs, if he didn't accept the terms of Trump's proposed deal. Another member of the administration remarked that Everyone and I mean everyone is exasperated with Bibi. And yet another complained about Netanyahu's recent war of words with Tucker Carlson.
This is now the fifth or sixth time he's posted a political take contradicted by facts from his own law enforcement agencies. Favreau's post included a suggested community note, citing an NBC News report, regarding Vance's comments that read, According to an ICE spokesperson, the three individuals shot were ICE detainees, leaving two individuals dead and one injured. No law enforcement were injured in this shooting, according to law enforcement and news reports out of Dallas, Texas.
Kamala Harris watched mortified as her running mate, Tim Walz, fell into JD Vance's trap in last year's vice-presidential debate and fumbled a crucial answer, she writes in a campaign memoir. The former Democratic presidential nominee also admits that Walz had not been her first choice for vice-president in her book 107 Days, obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week. Harris writes that her first choice would have been the then transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, a close friend of hers who is gay.
So, obviously, look, we wanna help people, Vance responded. We wanna help our fellow citizens. And I know that Wisconsin has some serious problems. I have not talked to the president of the United States. I'm not even sure that he's aware yet that the governor has issued that disaster declaration. But I will take it to Washington, D.C., and make sure we respond to it properly. Thank you, Sir.
As we point out, the most unpopular piece of legislation in recent times, in this century, is the big bad bill. If they give you a gift, take the gift, Carville said, urging Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) to debate Vance on Trump's spending bill after Vance blasted the senator for not voting in favor of the bill and its extension of 2017 tax cuts.
A new report reveals Elon Musk is quietly pumping the brakes on launching a new political party and is instead focused on maintaining ties with the man he views as potential heir to the MAGA throne. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Tesla boss is effectively throwing in the towel on the America Party that he unofficially launched on July 5 after X users, in an unscientific poll, said they supported the venture.
The White House announced an increased presence of federal law enforcement in Washington DC for at least the next week to combat crime amid Donald Trump's suggestions to take over the city's governance.
"It’s outrageous for the Army Corps of Engineers to spend taxpayer money to increase water flow in a river so @VP can go canoeing when budget cuts to the National Park Service have severely impacted family vacations for everyone else."
Vance's extreme views, such as calling Democratic politicians childless cat ladies and stating that staying in an abusive relationship is preferable to divorce, are well documented.
