"I DON'T CARE, MARGARET": In his inaugural interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation" since assuming office, Vice President JD Vance had a contentious exchange with host Margaret Brennan regarding the vetting of migrants. Vance strongly opposed the idea of allowing unvetted individuals into the U.S., citing an example of an Afghan national who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma despite being supposedly vetted. He emphasized his concern for safety, stating he didn't want his children or any American's children living near improperly vetted people. - via

Despite Brennan's attempt to clarify the timing of the individual's radicalization, Vance retorted with, "I don’t really care, Margaret." Additionally, Vance defended the controversial confirmation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing that Hegseth's role as a "disrupter" was necessary to reform the Department of Defense, particularly in recruitment and weapons procurement. Vance also discussed economic strategies, linking job repatriation and energy policy to price reductions for consumers. He highlighted how lowering energy costs could reduce expenses on goods like bacon by impacting transportation and production costs. On the topic of disaster management, Vance echoed President Trump's critique of FEMA after visiting disaster zones, suggesting that the agency needed fundamental reform or possibly replacement due to its inefficiencies in coordinating with local officials during crises. Vance also expressed confidence in Tulsi Gabbard's upcoming confirmation as director of national intelligence, emphasizing her military background and potential to restore trust in intelligence services.
