But there is something you guys are doing that is kind of disturbing me a little bit. >> Okay, go ahead.
>> Thank you. You guys um you guys have sent the military into um Washington DC and a few other cities that I can't think of off the top of my head.
>> All right, check it out. It only took a
00:15
few college students to expose the fundamental flaws in JD Vance's worldview. Vance was debating college students at a Turning Point USA event in Oxford, Mississippi.
After Charlie Kirk was obviously killed, tragically kicking off the first event. The tour has
00:32
continued with different faces rotating in. We had Megan Kelly hosting one event.
We now have JD Vance hosting one event in Oxford, Mississippi. And I just want to break down a few key moments.
There's one moment where a dude in a Trump hat asks him a really good
00:48
question about the National Guard, saying, "Hey, if you're able to mobilize a National Guard into certain states or into certain territories like DC, what stops the next administration from mobilizing it in the same way, maybe against a Turning Point USA event?" It
01:04
is a very good question and one that deserves to be asked. But first, let me show you the moment that's been going mega viral where a woman asks JD Vance, you know, a really, really heartfelt question saying, "Republicans have talked for years about the American
01:20
dream, about people moving here, making the country better, people moving here, and having a path forward, upward mobility, but now you guys are trying to take that away and demonize the people who have moved here." You know, I'm going to let her play this. I'm going to let her say this.
Make sure you drop a
01:36
like and make sure you're subscribed to the Adam Mockler feed to help boost the message. And let's let's listen to this.
>> Hello, Mr. Vice President.
Thank you so much for giving this opportunity to talk here today. I did not agree with many of the things that you said right ahead of
01:52
this, but I don't think that's my point to discuss here. What I want to ask is you are married to a woman who is not Christian in her Wikipedia.
I mean I just looked that up. I I wanted to know what her faith was.
I didn't know this
02:08
before. But she still calls herself Hindu.
You are raising two kids, three kids in interracial, cultural, racial, religious household. How are you maintaining
02:24
or how are you teaching your kids not to keep your religion ahead of their mother's religion? Or how are you teaching them that your kind, their dad kind who got here just few years or few hundred year few decades ago is
02:41
different or is better than your mom's kind who got here just a generation before. How are you balancing that?
And when you talk about too many immigrant here, what is when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a
03:00
dream? You made us spent our youth, our wealth in this country and gave us a dream.
You don't owe us anything. We have worked hard for it.
Then how can you as a vice president stand there and say that we have too many of them now
03:18
and we are going to take them out to people who are here rightfully so by paying the money that you guys asked us. You gave us the path and now how can you stop it and tell us we don't belong here
03:33
anymore. And one more thing I'm sorry one more thing.
Do you have to be >> there's a lot there. I don't know if I'm going to remember all this but I I will try.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
I had to say all of this and please take it with due. I mean, I'm saying all of this course.
I have no intention of causing a scene
03:49
here or anything. >> But >> we're not close to causing a scene.
Don't worry. >> But we talked about Christianity all of this.
I'm not even Christian and I'm here standing to so support. Why are we making Christianity one of the major
04:06
thing that you have to have in common to be one of you guys to show that I love America just as much as you do. Why is that still a question?
Why do I have to be a Christian or >> Okay, so I there there was a lot there and I'm going to try to respond to as
04:22
much of it as I can. So on on the question of of immigration, so first of all, I can believe that we should have lower immigration levels, but if the United States passed a law and made a promise to somebody, the United States,
04:38
of course, has to honor that promise. Nobody's talking about that.
I'm talking about people who came in in violation of the laws of the United States of America. And I'm talking about in the future reducing the number reducing the number of people.
Sorry, what?
04:53
>> May I continue on that? Because when you just said you are not stopping with the people who came here legally, right?
But you are pushing out policies that hurt us and these policies are not even solving the problems. These policies are
05:11
just creating >> No, ma'am. Okay.
So, so again, I I I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to finish answering the question and then um if you know if if I've answered all nine of your questions in less than 15 minutes, then we can keep on going.
05:27
I we got to have a little fun, right? So, here >> I mean, it's a clever way of not answering anything substantively.
>> Here's here's the thing. I I can believe that the United States should should lower its levels of immigration in the future while also respecting that there
05:44
are people who have come here through immigration path lawful immigration pathways that have contributed to the country. But just because one person or 10 people or a 100 people came in legally and contributed to the to the United States of America, does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in a
06:00
million or 10 million or a 100red million people a year in the future? No.
that that's not right. We cannot have I'll I'll go and finish.
We cannot have an immigration policy where what was good for the country 50 or 60 years ago binds the country inevitably for the
06:16
future. There's too many people who want to come to the United States of America.
And my job as vice president is not to look out for the interest of the whole world. It's to look out for the people of the United States.
Now, >> I don't know. Everybody cheers, but it kind of feels like he didn't answer the
06:31
question. I feel like the question was largely based around the attitudes towards legal immigrants and this conflation that comes from the administration where they try to bring up, you know, violent criminals or drug dealers every single time they bring up immigration.
They they try to draw a
06:48
connection between these two even when they're talking about legal immigration. So essentially, I feel like she was asking a few different questions, but at the core of her question is, why are you demonizing immigrants, both legal and illegal, but even legal immigration?
You're making the pathways harder.
07:04
You're removing temporary protected status. You're making the barriers for H-1B visas higher, saying you have to pay $100,000.
Over and over I can list these examples of then making legal immigration tougher unless you're you're coming from like uh South Africa and
07:21
you're a whites person or you're a Christian of some sort which is what she was saying but he didn't really get to the heart of that. He then started going for the easiest stuff and attacking illegal immigration saying hey listen we just want to minimize the amount of illegal immigration happening.
Of course
07:36
everybody wants to uh minimize the amount of illegal immigration happening. Let me show you this next clip of a dude asking JD Vance about the National Guard.
This one's quite lighthearted. I mean, they they joke around a bit, but the question is quite serious.
Like, we need an answer to this question. It's
07:52
quite serious. JD Vance is is not satisfactory.
Take a listen. >> Hello, JD.
How you doing today, man? >> Good.
How you doing? >> In the wise words of Ricky Bobby, I don't know what to do with my hands.
[Applause]
08:08
>> Don't feel bad. Neither do I half the time, man.
Okay. Okay.
>> Brutal lack of laugh from the crowd. >> Half the time, man.
>> Okay. Okay.
First off, yeah, laugh it
08:24
off. Laugh it up.
Okay. First off, I just want to say I am a huge supporter of the Trump administration.
Um, I was three months too late to vote for you guys, but if I if I could have, I would have. So, I'm a huge supporter of you guys before I make my argument.
But there is something you guys are doing
08:39
that is kind of disturbing me a little bit. >> Okay, go ahead.
>> Thank you. You guys um you guys have sent the military into um Washington DC and a few other cities that I can't think of off the top of my head, which first off, they've had wonderful results.
Like no one
08:55
>> no one can deny the results of that. That's it's wonderful.
>> I mean, you can deny the results. People going to restaurants at a 40% lower rate means people aren't really going out as much.
And when people aren't going out as much because there's military on the streets, that's clearly a shortterm
09:11
solution. I mean, what are you just going to perpetually have military on the streets of Chicago, for example, where I live and record?
Just always have military out there forever, and that's going to solve the crime problem. Are we going to turn into North Korea?
>> Some might even say the greatest.
09:26
They uh I'm a comedian. >> I like this guy.
Who is this guy? >> He can make the crowd laugh more than JD Vance can.
>> Thank you, JD. I like you, too.
>> Now he's going to Now he's going to ask the question about all the that we did wrong. But that's okay.
Go ahead and ask your question.
09:42
>> But yeah, I'm just wondering. Well, it's not necessarily something you did wrong, but it's what could someone else do wrong.
Let's say we get a complete tyrant in office. And let's say we're having let's say Turning Point USA is having a huge protest against uh you know, something really bad that we don't
09:57
like. And let's say he's um a president is saying that it's getting violent.
How can we what is I'm trying to think uh my maj how what is the what is the difference between uh what you're doing and how could we how can we prevent someone from abusing that power?
10:13
>> It's a really good question. He's basically saying it's a slippery slope.
If one administration begins to mobilize the National Guard illegally against the explicit will of the governor, the mayors in the state, everyone who lives in these states, and he just continues to do that, which is incredibly
10:30
authoritarian and illegal, especially after posting memes of the city on fire, but that's a different story. Then, hey, we're all laughing now.
We're all yuck. We all think it's like funny fun now.
But what if the next Democratic president isn't as nice and decides to
10:45
just mobilize the National Guard into red states? It's not as funny then.
It's a slippery slope. >> Yeah.
So, look, look, I I understand where the question is coming from, and I think it's a fair question, and it's going to sound like I'm being sarcastic, and it it really is is not meant in in
11:02
any offense, but when you talk about what could another administration do to take a wild hypothetical example, totally off the top of my head, what if Joe Biden sent the Federal Bureau of Investigation to start arresting his political opponents? >> Oh, that's
11:17
[Applause] Okay. So, so here's here's something that I want conservatives I want every conservative to remember.
It's an important part of my entire political philosophy is we cannot be afraid to do something because the left might do it
11:33
in the future. The left is already going to do it regardless of whether we do it.
That that is that is the takeaway of the last 40 years. We're not no Democratic president has mobilized a national guard against the will of the people who run these states.
No Democratic president
11:50
has started crypto schemes. No Democratic president has tried to run for a third term or joked about it this much and posted AI memes.
I mean, no Democratic president has tried to sign executive orders that overturn birthright citizenship or other constitutional amendments. When JD Vance
12:06
tries to point to some non-example from Biden, what do you mean Biden ordered his FBI to go after anybody? They keep saying this, but they have no actual example of Biden ordering his DOJ to do that.
I've proved this on CNN by, you know, asking Scott Jennings over and over, "What's your proof?" They never
12:23
have any. But not only that, to make matters worse, Trump literally did ask Pam Bondi in a truth social post directly.
He said, "Hey, Pam, go after these three people, and two out of those three people have been gone after ever since that post. It's so directly,
12:39
clearly, obvious. It's persecution." And JD Vance is not answering that kid's question.
The dude's question is very very very you know savvy. It's smart.
He's saying, "Hey dude, we're all sitting here cheering while you're arresting opponents and mobilizing the military. Uh, could this potentially
12:56
backfire?" And JD Vance says, "No, no, no." J Vance like, "No, this has already all happened. Trust me.
Like the Democrats have already done all this. Nobody's done all this before, bro.
If you think Merrick Garland and Joe Biden were out there doing radical then you weren't paying attention." And
13:11
obviously he's just grifting, trying to consolidate power as much as possible. I'm gonna leave it there.
If you appreciate the videos on the Adam Mach channel, all that I ask is that you drop a like, subscribe. I'll see you all in the next one.
And peace out.
