Tim Walz Crumbles as J.D. Vance Dominates VP Debate
Walz thought he was ready for J.D. Vance—he was wrong. What started as a debate quickly turned into a one-sided beatdown.
Here’s how it all went down.
🧵 THREAD
J.D. Vance opened the debate by masterfully introducing himself with confidence, telling the American people that under a Trump administration, the American Dream would once again be attainable.
"I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American Dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams," he said. He then made it clear, "If we get better leadership in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American Dream is going to be attainable once again."
As the debate continued, Vance flipped the script on Tim Walz when Walz attempted to blame Donald Trump for the Iranian threat.
"You yourself just said Iran is as close to a nuclear weapon today as they have ever been. And, Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump. Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years? And the answer is your running mate, not mine," Vance fired back.
On the topic of Hurricane Helene, Vance communicated with the American people so well that even Tim Walz nodding in agreement.
He painted a vivid picture of the disaster, saying, "I just saw today, actually, a photograph of two grandparents on a roof with a six-year-old child. And it was the last photograph ever taken of them because the roof collapsed, and those innocent people lost their lives."
Vance expressed his heartfelt sympathy and promised, "I commit that when Donald Trump is president, again, the government will put the citizens of this country first when they suffer from a disaster."

On climate change, Vance didn’t hold back, telling Walz to his face that if Kamala Harris truly cared about the issue, she would be pushing for more manufacturing and energy production in America because it’s cleaner to do so here.
"If the Democrats, particularly Kamala Harris and her leadership, really believe that climate change is serious, what they would be doing is more manufacturing and more energy production in the United States of America," Vance argued. "So clearly, Kamala Harris herself doesn't believe her own rhetoric on this."
Vance got Tim Walz’s head hanging in shame when he exposed the executive orders the Biden-Harris admin signed that upended what Trump did to keep the border safe.
“We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies. 94 executive orders suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing the asylum fraud that exists in our system that has opened the floodgates,” Vance lamented.
“And what it's meant is that a lot of fentanyl is coming into our country. I had a mother who struggled with opioid addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels. So you've got to stop the bleeding.”
At one point, Vance’s microphone was cut off by CBS News when he began refuting their fact-check on the subject of Springfield, Ohio, and Haitian immigrants.
CBS News said they had more topics to get to, but the apparent reality is that they were getting uncomfortable with Vance confronting their “fact-check” head-on.
Vance continued to deliver a sharp critique of Harris’s economic policies, pointing out the rising costs of essentials.
"If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle-class problems, then she ought to do them now," he said, emphasizing the 25% increase in food costs and the 60% increase in housing costs.
Vance then dropped a series of brutal fact-checks on Walz.
“Governor, you say trust the experts, but those same experts for 40 years said that if we shipped our manufacturing base off to China, we'd get cheaper goods. They lied about that.
“They said if we shipped our industrial base off to other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the middle class stronger. They were wrong about that.
“They were wrong about the idea that if we made America less self-reliant, less productive in our own nation, that it would somehow make us better off. And they were wrong about it.
“And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump had the wisdom and the courage to say to that bipartisan consensus, we're not doing it anymore. We're bringing American manufacturing back. We're unleashing American energy. We're going to make more of our own stuff.”
As the debate wore on, Vance savagely cornered Walz on his economic contradictions.
“Tim, I think you got a tough job here because you've got to play whack-a-mole. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take-home pay, which, of course, he did. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which, of course, he did,” Vance pointed out.
“And then you've simultaneously got to defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record, which has made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable for American citizens... We can do so much better. To all of you watching, we can get back to an America that's affordable again. We just got to get back to common sense economic principles.”
Walz found himself in a tough spot when confronted about a false claim regarding his presence in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre.
After a two-minute rant, Walz admitted that he wasn’t actually there during the tragedy, exposing a major inconsistency in his narrative.

Vance continued to dominate, shredding Walz for saying that the First Amendment doesn't protect “misinformation.”
Walz said that claim was false, but unfortunately for him, we got it on video.
Clip: @CollinRugg
As the debate neared its end, Walz awkwardly appealed to viewers who were “still up” and missed “Dancing With the Stars” to watch the debate.
Things got worse when he boasted about endorsements from figures like Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift.
Throughout the entire two minutes, Walz totally fell flat, making his closing statements a complete waste of time.
Vance, on the other hand, ended the night with a bang, delivering a stunning critique of Kamala Harris.
"She’s been the vice president for three and a half years. Day one was 1,400 days ago. And her policies have made these problems worse," Vance said.
He emphasized that the American people would not achieve their full dreams under the current broken leadership and called for a new direction.
"We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well."

And while you’re here, check out these ten shocking stories that the media didn’t bother covering today.
President Trump just dropped two new powerful Army videos—and they hit like a sledgehammer.
One fired up the crowd, igniting chants of “U-S-A!” throughout the entire parade.
The other hit straight to the heart—and once you see it, you might just feel like signing up yourself.
🧵 THREAD
The U.S. Army just turned 250. But the way it celebrated says more about the future than the past.
President Trump headlined the anniversary with a show of force—a full-scale military parade in Washington, D.C., complete with a brand-new Army ad that marked a decisive turn in tone.
This wasn’t just a milestone event. It was a reset.
A reintroduction of the military’s mission, stripped of distractions and reframed through the lens of strength, sacrifice, and national pride.
The video opened not with slogans or dramatized voiceovers, but with real soldiers, speaking plainly about what it means to serve.
“If we get the call, we have to go somewhere—we’ll do what needs to be done. Just the way we operate here.”
Another soldier put it bluntly: “This is one of the few jobs in the nation where we all take an oath, say I’m willing to put my life on the line for you, and they’re willing to put their life on the line for me.”
The voices were calm. The visuals were raw. The underlying point was crystal clear: the military is not some sort of social experiment—it’s a calling.
Soldiers spoke about their training, their preparation, their mindset.
“It’s just what we train for. It is what we want to do. My team leaders, squad leaders know exactly what to do—check equipment, check weapons, check ammo.”
And they weren’t talking in hypotheticals.
“We’re always ready to deploy within 18 hours,” one said.
“And handle the mission at task.”
These weren’t actors—these were warfighters describing their reality.
Trump’s voice followed with a familiar refrain:
“God bless you, God bless our soldiers and God bless the U.S. Army!”
The crowd didn’t wait for a cue.
As the screen went dark, chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” broke out instantly, rolling throughout the parade like a tidal wave.
But there was something different about the moment. It wasn’t just patriotic, it felt like a return to clarity.
For years, military messaging had been muddled by a steady drip of social priorities—vaccination campaigns, gender politics, environmental pledges.
President Trump just delivered a powerful tribute to the U.S. Army on its 250th anniversary—and it was nothing short of a spectacle.
The parade reportedly cost $45 million, and every second sent a message.
This is what honoring our troops is supposed to look like.
🧵 THREAD
The celebration opened with a moment of unmistakable patriotism.
Standing tall beside First Lady Melania and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, President Trump held a firm salute during a stirring rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner as the national military parade began rolling through Washington.
It was a moment to remember and also a fitting way to mark President Trump’s 79th birthday.
To kick off the ceremony, the parade honored the original gangsters of the U.S. Army, The Old Guard.
In 1775, the “shot heard round the world” was fired at Lexington and Concord, setting off a revolution that changed the course of history.
Thirteen colonies rose up, as farmers and frontiersmen became soldiers. They formed the Continental Army, won at Trenton, endured the harsh winter at Valley Forge, and ultimately forced the British surrender at Yorktown.
That was the birth of the United States of America 🇺🇸
This embarrassing health issue sends over a million Americans to the ER each year.
92,000 are hospitalized—some with life-threatening complications.
The culprit? Constipation. And your doctor probably isn’t telling you all the risks.
Here’s what really happens when your system backs up—and how to fix it naturally.
🧵 THREAD
Constipation is more common than you think.
Up to 1 in 4 adults suffers from chronic constipation—and most never even tell their doctor.
Why? Most people no longer have genuine relationships with their physicians and have little time to address problems, especially the uncomfortable ones, during an office visit.
The experience is a lot more like a drive-thru than a partnership with the goal of improving your health.

EXCLUSIVE: War Correspondent Reveals The Truth About the No Kings Protests and What Happens Next
The riots are just the beginning, Michael Yon warns.
He says the next phase is much worse.
War isn’t coming—it’s already here.
And terrifyingly, it’s all going according to plan…
🧵 THREAD
The United States has a very serious situation unfolding. Chaos in the streets, riots spreading to various cities across the country. And it seems like Mexico has declared war. On top of this, tensions in the Middle East are increasing.
And so we are back again to times of incredible uncertainty.
The most important element of any conflict is the information war. And who better to discuss all of this than war correspondent @Michael_Yon. He joins us now.
Yon opened with an urgent warning the media won’t touch.
He said the United States isn’t drifting toward war—it’s already in one. “We’ve been invaded,” he warned, pointing to foreign flags flying in the streets, cities on fire, and civilians under attack.
According to Yon, the president of Mexico has “openly declared war on the United States.” And how has the U.S. responded? “We’re not doing anything,” he said.
This isn’t just the same old border crisis—Yon calls it a full-scale invasion.
“The United States needs to get very serious, and treat this war like the war that it is."
There’s nothing organic about what’s happening in LA.
Joe Rogan and Oliver Anthony just exposed the deeper truth behind the riots.
It’s an operation.
But the real question is: what kind of mindset leads to this political weaponization?
That’s when Rogan called it what it is: a “bastardization” of peaceful protest.
📍 Remember to bookmark this thread—because the media’s burying the truth about the riots.
Now let’s break it all down and roll the clips.
When Joe Rogan sat down with country artist Oliver Anthony, what started as a conversation about music and culture quickly turned into a deeper look at the chaos unfolding in Los Angeles.
Rogan wasn’t vague about what he believes is happening.
He dropped a bombshell.
In his view, the riots aren’t organic—they’re astroturfed.
“We are better off today than anybody else in human history and this is a struggle and it is a battle,” Rogan said.
“But I think we come out of this on the other side if we can all realize that we’re being played against each other.”
Rogan described what he sees as the machinery behind the unrest: protests that aren’t spontaneous but funded, coordinated, and staged for political impact.
“You know, when you’re paying people to protest, you’re leaving pallets of bricks around and you’re organizing the whole thing and you’re shipping people in on busses and you’re making sure that all the people show up at a certain amount of time and they’re all compensated and you give them water and snacks…”
He paused, then added, “Like, we got to realize what’s going on here. This is not for you.”
To Rogan, the strategy is clear: create disorder, spark outrage, and damage public trust—while offering no real solutions.
“When you light your city on fire and you burn cop cars—it’s never good,” he said.
“It’s not good for you, it’s not good for the cause. They’re not going to change the laws.”
REPORT: 31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican—and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”
This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors.
According to @DataRepublican, the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change.
Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in street combat. “That isn’t a peaceful protest,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. “That isn’t America.”
Just one arrest so far… but if foreign actors are involved—lawmakers warn it could amount to treason.

In other news, Gov. Ron DeSantis says Floridians have the right to hit protesters with cars if they feel threatened.
DeSantis made it crystal clear: if a mob surrounds your car in Florida, you have the right to hit the gas and escape—and if someone gets hurt, “that’s their fault,” he said.
“If you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety,” DeSantis explained. “If you drive off and hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.”
To most Americans, this is common sense. But in blue states, it’s controversial.
The message is simple: threaten innocent people in the state of Florida, and you will face consequences.
