Joe Rogan Shares Astonishing News About Kamala Harris

During a recent, in-depth interview with podcast giant Joe Rogan, Sen. JD Vance shared a remarkable story about his reaction to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The attempt, which occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania, mid-July, nearly took Trump’s life.

A week after Trump’s interview with Rogan — which has now racked up close to 40 million views — Vance described his initial reaction to the shocking event. “When you first see the video, he grabs his ear, and then he goes down, and I’m like, ‘My God, they just killed him,’” Vance, a Republican from Ohio, told Rogan.

Vance went on to explain his emotional response: “And I was, so I mean, first I was so pissed. But then I go into like, fight or flight mode with my kids. I’m like, you know, alright kids, you know, we were at a — we were at a mini golf place in Cincinnati, Ohio, grabbed my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns and basically stand like a sentry at our front door. And that was my that was sort of my reaction to it,” he added.

In a separate event, Vance joined a town hall on NewsNation hosted by Chris Cuomo. Here, a phone call from Trump himself briefly interrupted the session, lightening the atmosphere for both Vance and the audience of undecided voters.

“We have a call right now from former President Donald John Trump,” Cuomo announced to applause. “He wants to weigh in. Mr. President, I know there’s a little bit of a delay. Can you hear us, and what is your question?”

“Well, I can hear you, Chris, and I do have a question,” Trump responded. “And I think it will be quite an interesting one. The answer should be easy. How brilliant is Donald J. Trump?”

As the audience laughed, Cuomo turned to Vance: “Take your time, think about it.”

Vance replied, “Well, first of all, sir, this is supposed to be undecided voters. I would hope that I have your vote, of all people. But here’s– first of all, sir, of course, you’re very brilliant. And we both agree. We both agree that it’s important to have smart people running the government.”

Vance continued, praising Trump’s “ability to relate to anybody in any environment,” calling it “the true brilliance of Donald J. Trump.”

Trump seemed pleased with Vance’s response: “That’s very nice, and I appreciate it. Maybe I’ll ask a second one. I watched, believe it or not, CNN last night. And in watching it, I watched the town hall with Kamala. Let me ask you for a second [unintelligible] and it was not good. How brilliant is Kamala?”

“That’s a very tough one, Sir,” Vance replied. “I’m supposed to say something–”

“Don’t say it,” Trump quickly interjected.
