From washington tonight. It's great to have you with us. Another desperate move by desperate people. Judge chutkan unseems a motion. And the libs go absolutely nuts. It's more proof that the doj has been weaponized. Just as we saw during covid, the people called experts are often wrong. Cloth masks work, socialted, it's based in science. The vaccine. Transmission. Well, they couldn't have been more wrong. Then, after january 6th, they were confident that trump was finished. Do democrats have the votes to mark the end of donald trump's political career? that could mean the definitive end of his political career. Trial. Would be enough to end political career. Laura: now, in their assessment of j. D. Vance as his vp pick they were, again, spectacularly wrong. J. D. Vance here, donald trump's running mate, having some people wondering whether he should be replaced. J. D. Vance not going to move on. I don't know if the end. We'll see. Hard for donald trump to admitted making a mistake. A lot of republicans very unhappy right now. And the antipopulist republicans also embarrassed themselves anonymously telling the hill that vance's selection by trump was the worst choice of all the options. So bad i didn't even think it was possible, one congressman said. Another republican said nine out of 10 on our side would say trump's wrong on the j. D. Pick. My personal favorite from this june story was another congressman claiming that vance is the only person who could do serious damage to trump. But, they were even preemptively blaming vance if trump fell short in november. What else? well, who fell short last night? not this guy. I knew a lot of young women who had unplanned pregnancies and decided to terminate those pregnancies because they feel like they didn't have any other options. One of them is actually very dear to me. She told me something a couple years ago that she felt like if she hadn't had that abortion that it would have destroyed her life because she was in an abusive relationship. I want us, as a republican party, to be profamily in the fullest sense of the word. I want us to support fertility treatments. I want us to make it easier for moms to have babies. Laura: from beginning to end vance not only showed mastery of the issues but art to navigate the smug bias of those cbs not der raiders that was the most impressive thing of all last night. I think that one of j. D. 's best moments was his debunking the bidenharris claim that they're letting in migrants under just a normal legal process. Thank you, senator, we have so much to get to. Margaret, i think it's important. Turn now to the economy, thank you. March grerkts the rules were. The economy. Factcheck and since you are factchecking me, i think it's important to say what is actually going on. So there's an application called the cbp 1 app. Where can you go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a kamala harris open border wand. Laura: 100 percent right. Then they mute the mic. Literally the only way cbs could save face was to cut his mic. It was pathetic. Now, maybe do this next time. Maybe listen and learn something then maybe you will finally understand trump's growing working class appeal. Try that on for size. But, again, i think that's expecting too much of these people who apparently don't have much contact with the real world. Because, outside the beltway corridor, vance has been connecting. And not just intellectually but on a human level. He is very battle tested. Very ready you could see that he went to jail yale and is he very intelligent. He reassured people, i think. Somebody else. Strong control of the facts. He ran the show. He remained steady during the whole performance, and i was very impressed with him being very sincere and authentic. He humanized himself and actually looked like a regular guy. Laura: now, if it were a fight last night, some boxing match, the ref would have called it for vance early on. But, perhaps, the most important take away from the v. P. Showdown is how trump's judgment in picking him in the first place was totally vindicated. Now, let's be clear, no one but trump would have picked vance who was most definitely not the choice of the senate leadership. Even though when pressed by a huffington post reporter at the dnc, mitch mcconnell did call vance a great choice is i don't say that too often but mitch mcconnell was right. It was a controversial decision at the time. But trump was trump was willing to take the slings and arrows in order to name vance as his number two because it was someone who actually believed in the america first agenda and trump understood that vance could persuasively advocate for it and defend trump's record before a hostile press. Honestly, tim, i think you have got a tough job here. You have to play whackamole and pretend joe biden didn't takehome pay. He did. Lower inflation which of course he did. Samesimultaneously goth got to defend kamala harris' atrocious record made grass gas, groceries and housing unaffordable for american citizens. Laura: he kept taking it back to the cost of living, which was perfect as we see multiple crises bubbling over about biden and harris in charge? it's become more obvious than ever that trump has been more right than everyone on the issues that matter okay the economy, on keeping inflation down. On keeping russia and china on their heels. Of course, on the border. And trump is better at identifying true political talent, managerial talent. He understands what's at stake for america, for everything. It's all on the line. And, unlike kamala's pick of tim walz, trump did not select vance because he wanted a yes man or he wanted a lackey. Trump picked walz because he wanted someone who could advance his agenda for economic growth and peace through strength. So, on tuesday night. You saw the future, set in motion. By a 78yearold donald trump. There's an entirely new generation of conservatives out there. And it's not just vance. Republicans have a strong talent pool. Governors like desantis, senators like rubio, hawley and schmitd. Congressman byron donalds to name a few. Of course others like vivek ramaswamy who joins me in moments. Tulsi gabbard, they are all out there. They are all important voices. But, this is what kamala harris thought captured their future. [. [cheers] laura: he didn't do the bowing thing last night. I was very disappointed. Well, somewhere tonight, i think josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, is actually breathing a sigh of relief. Better to stand so low in 2028 than with her in 2024. But, in the end, no matter how much the media tries to block and tackle for kamala and tim and no matter how many bogus totally legal attacks launched against trump and his supporters, the republican future that trump shaped, is very bright. Trump's agenda for working class people that vance championed so effectively, it's attracted new voters, even in urban america. Yeah, and even in places like philly. One home health aid who just changed his party registration told the philadelphia inquirier that democrats keep saying trump is going to bring the economy down, but, he was already president for four years and taxes were lower. We're tired of the same politics. We got a different type of guy, and the people actually love him. He went on to say the democrats haven't kept their promises to bring down prices or improve the quality of life. I almost fell over when i saw that inquirier this morning. Well, i will say though for years, the media poisoned minds against trump. Remember, even vance was a strong critic. But, press matters less these days, and now with trump, vance is helping to lead the new republican coalition. People ask me like how would you describe this new coalition? i would say optimistic and pragmatic, patriotic, and peaceseeking. American families first, america first. And that's the angle. Joining us now, vivek ramaswamy, former republican presidential candidate, vivek, you are part of this new coalition. Aimportant voice for common sene conservatism. Your take on vance's performance last night and what it said not just about this ticket, but about the credibility of the media and all those establishment types who just raked vance across the coals for several weeks after he was picked. Look, i think j. D. Did out standingly. I wasn't surprised by that he is a good friend and i'm proud of him for his performance. I felt sad and sympathetic to tim walz. Not his fault he was put in that position. I bring that up because it says something about the machine on the other side. See, there were other good possibilities as you raised for somebody that could have been a decent vice president that at least could have held their own last night. They didn't pick that for the same reason that kamala harris was picked as the vice president. For the same reason she was picked as the no, ma'am to me. On their side, they would prefer somebody who doesn't have independent thoughts because we're not up against a candidate here, laura, it's not kamala harris, it's not joe biden, it's not tim walz, we're up against a machine. And where what donald trump is going in there to do to ghagets that machine. The more we see it that way, the more the rest of it actually makes sense. It's not about republicans vs. Democrats in the 2,000s or 1990s sense. This is about the everyday citizen, we the people saying no to the democratic and managerial class the dividing line in this country. I think jihad did outstanding job laying that bear. The more we see that clearly the more successful we are going to be. Laura: when you talk to regular folks which i'm blessed to be able to do on a daily basis, they often say, you know, everything is so negative. And i like the fact that vance talked about restoring the american dream. Obviously trump does that all the time. They don't let him get very far in doing that vance was able to state that over and over and over again. He said there is no reason why it should be dying. This is an amazing country. Let's get the job done. We will have fun doing it. I think that's the kind of optimism that's drawing in a lot of these new republican voters. And i think that much more than the lawfare and all this other nonsense, that is infectious. I think it is. Populism has been a word american politics associated with negativity. I see a wide open vacuum for what i would call a positive populism in america. Positive populism not just running from something but together as a people running back to something. Running back to that american dream where, yes, with hard work and dedication can you achieve the maximum of your god given potential and by the way this is a big theme right now, too. While speaking your mind freely at every step of the way. That, too, is part of the american dream. And that's what i want to see more of in this country. I think this is the future direction of the conservative movement. It's a populist. Positive populism that has alternative vision of our own. One we can do more of in our movement and taking that to a more positive direction is to stand unapologetically for capitalism. We don't have to apologize for that we can be the party that says you know what? we don't make people apologize for success but we're actually the party that stands for lifting everybody up. Black or white. Laura: working class. Built this multi ethnic coalition. Laura: when we had wages going up as they were under donald trump for the middle class, for the blue collar workers, that's what brought this economy back. That's why people were so optimistic before the pandemic hit. Vivek, is it true that you are thinking seriously about running was it for governor of ohio i was just reading? i think a lot of people are excited about that idea. I'm going to make some decisions shortly after the election. What i will say is we see some of the events when i visited springfield people in this state pleading with me to do it. I have to take that pretty seriously. There is a lot of possibilities for the future though, laura. What i want to do is have the biggest possible impact on the country possible. We're working within a short time to save this country. Donald trump is going to do his part from the top. But it's going to be up to us to each play our own roles and make decisions for me. Shortly after, hopefully not a close election but i still see the possibility of a landslide style election that unites this country. Let's achieve that in the next 35 days and we will count our eggs after that. Laura: all right, vivek, great to see you as always, my friend. Liberal media sycophants trying to do this reputation rehab on weirdo tim walz after the debate. That's next. laura: v. P. Faceoff went down as the angle predicted. The cbs moderators were haughty and biased. And kamala's on air comrades afterwards were going to declare walz the winner no matter how much he screwed up. One is slicker than the other. Much more practiced kind of professional debate style speaker and the other candidate won. He got out done by j. D. By tim walz who may be awkward. It took him a while to get warmed up. But he won the debate because he actually had substance. He was relatable. The goal is to make tim walz your neighbor. Your midwest neighbor, a nice guy, it's mission accomplished and tim walz got exactly what he needed out of this. Laura: ha ha ha ha ha. Okay. Okay so now being practiced a debater is bad thing in liberal la la land. And then apparently we're aelecting a neighbor not a president. Joining me now charlie hurt. Washington times opinion editor and fox news contributor. They watched the same debate. They know what they saw. I don't think they are that disconnected from reality. But, why was this perhaps more important at this moment in this race than other previous vp debates? well, first of all, i have to challenge you a little bit, laura, i don't know that they did watch the same debate. I think they were watching the cartoon network or something because there's no way you could have watched that debate and said the things that they said afterwards. I would defy them to find one single question that tim walz answered. I went back and watched the entire thing a second time today. And i could not find a single question he actually answered. And, it is, i think i really do think that this is so was so important last night given the state of the race. I think a lot of people are just tuning in for a lot of people they don't know j. D. Vance or tim walz. They dialed in, they paid attention to this, and they saw these two people, one who is evasive, refused to answer questions, and when he did talk about something, he seemed to know something about, he was not able to make an ar
