In a recent appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, J.D. Vance delivered a masterful performance that left the show’s host, Kristen Welker, visibly flustered. Vance’s sharp wit, command of the facts, and unwavering conviction made for a captivating and one-sided exchange, as he systematically dismantled Welker’s attempts to shield Kamala Harris from criticism over her disastrous handling of the border crisis.
Vance Corrects Welker’s Underestimation of Illegal Immigration
From the outset, Welker sought to downplay the scale of the immigration crisis facing the nation, claiming that the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. stood at 8-10 million. Vance quickly pushed back, informing the host that the actual figure is at least 20 million, a staggering statistic that underscores the magnitude of the problem exacerbated by the Biden administration’s policies and Harris’ ineffective leadership as the “border czar.”
Vance Exposes Harris’ Failure as Border Czar
Welker attempted to deflect blame from Harris, suggesting that her role was limited to addressing the “root causes” of immigration. Vance, however, was having none of it, delivering a scathing retort that laid bare Harris’ dereliction of duty. “The root causes of migration is that Kamala Harris refuses to do her job as Border Czar,” he asserted, effectively dismantling Welker’s feeble attempt to absolve Harris of responsibility.

Welker’s Claim of Reduced Border Crossings Debunked
Undeterred, Welker continued her efforts to prop up the administration’s record, claiming that border crossings had “cratered” due to Biden’s executive actions. Vance, armed with the facts, quickly exposed the fallacy of this assertion. He explained that the Biden regime had simply made it easier for illegal immigrants to enter the country through “legal” means, rather than actually securing the border and preventing unlawful crossings.
Vance Defends Trump’s Tariff Policies
Welker’s line of questioning then shifted to the economic realm, as she attempted to portray Trump’s tariff policies as detrimental to American consumers. Vance, however, refused to be cowed, confidently defending the former president’s approach. He argued that China and other countries were exploiting “effectively slave labor” to undercut the wages of American workers, and that Trump’s tariffs were a necessary measure to address this unfair practice.

Vance Debunks Welker’s Claim of Tariff-Induced Inflation
Welker persisted in her efforts to paint Trump’s tariffs as harmful, claiming they had cost American consumers billions in new taxes. Vance, however, delivered a decisive blow, revealing that inflation had remained below 2% throughout Trump’s entire administration, and that the former president’s policies had actually led to the creation of 12,000 new factories in the United States.

Vance’s Masterful Performance Highlights the Contrast with Kamala Harris
Throughout the interview, Vance’s command of the facts, his ability to anticipate and counter Welker’s lines of attack, and his unwavering confidence in defending the Trump administration’s policies stood in stark contrast to the perceived failures and ineffectiveness of Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance’s masterful performance not only exposed the host’s biases but also underscored the sharp divide between the competence and leadership displayed by the potential Trump running mate and the shortcomings of the current administration’s top officials.
All-in-all, Vance completely shut down Welker at every turn she took.
