Podcast host Joe Rogan praised Vice President J.D. Vance on Tuesday for his performance during a CBS News interview, calling it “a masterclass” in handling media narratives.

During Sunday’s interview, Brennan pressed Vance on President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for illegal migrants and those with temporary legal status.
Brennan pointed out that the U.S. is “a country founded by immigrants,” to which Vance responded by agreeing but pushing back on the broader implication.

“This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers,” Vance said.
“But just because we were founded by immigrants doesn’t mean that 240 years later we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.”

The vice president argued that no other nation automatically grants citizenship to the children of temporary visitors.
“America should actually look out for the interests of our citizens first, and that means, again, if you’re here permanently and lawfully, your kid becomes an American citizen,” he continued.
“If you’re not here permanently, if you’re not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and don’t plan to be, why would we make those people’s children American citizens permanently?”

Brennan also questioned Vance on which of Trump’s executive orders would lead to lower prices for Americans.
The vice president pointed to early economic moves designed to boost investment and job creation.
“We have done a lot and there have been a number of executive orders that have caused, already, jobs to start coming back into our country, which is a core part of lowering prices,” Vance explained.
He acknowledged that lowering prices would take time but said the administration is moving quickly.
“Prices are going to come down, but it’s going to take a little bit of time, right? The president has been president for all of five days,” he said.
“I think that in those five days, he’s accomplished more than Joe Biden did in four years. It’s been an incredible breakneck pace of activity.”

Vance also highlighted Trump’s executive orders on energy as a key factor in reducing costs for American consumers.
Following the interview, SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly and former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon criticized Brennan for what they described as a weak performance.
On Monday, both Kelly and Bannon accused Brennan of “laziness,” arguing she was unprepared to effectively challenge the vice president.
With the Trump administration pushing forward on its policy agenda, Vance’s interview highlighted the administration’s stance on immigration and the economy.
His defense of Trump’s policies drew praise from conservative circles, with Rogan’s endorsement further amplifying the vice president’s growing influence in media discussions.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan described Vance’s exchange with Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan as “fuckin’ amazing” and applauded the vice president for effectively challenging Brennan’s framing of key policy issues.
“He’s great. Thank God for that guy,” Rogan said. “He’s so good at dismantling those dopey people and just breaking down—she was like, ‘This is a country built on immigrants.’ He’s like, ‘Yes, that doesn’t mean that 240 years later we have to have the dumbest immigration policy possible.’”

We need a more secure system for allowing immigrants into America. When we show horses in another state we need a vet certificate that states the horse is healthy and up to date on it’s medical shots. Are American citizens less susceptible to the transfer of human diseases?
During the great migration to America during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s a birth certificate and health check were mandatory. We have a far greater number of American citizens now with a greater chance of of getting a contagious disease that foreign immigrants bring with them along with their desire to receive American citizen benefits they never contributed to.
