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.

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.
You were told the U.S. cut ties with the WHO.
But that was never true.
Despite the public announcement, the Trump administration is still quietly working with the WHO, specifically on flu vaccines and pandemic coordination.
Just like when they claimed gain-of-function research had ended—only to aggressively keep funding it—the U.S. is still collaborating with the WHO.
The details paint a very dark picture.
Investigative journalist @JonMFleetwood has been digging deep into into this topic. What he found changes everything. 🧵
@JonMFleetwood opened the conversation by exposing a bait-and-switch at the highest levels of U.S. health policy.
Despite headlines claiming the Trump administration had cut ties with the World Health Organization, he revealed something very different beneath the surface. The U.S. was still in active talks with the WHO—specifically over flu vaccine collaboration—and CNN even confirmed HHS remained “in ongoing conversations” about it.
At the same time, half a billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money was quietly funneled into a bird flu vaccine program, while federal agencies kept greenlighting gain-of-function experiments on influenza viruses.
“We’re creating the problem and the solution at the same time,” Fleetwood said, pointing to labs engineering viruses for increased transmissibility and immune escape, then using those very threats to justify pandemic planning and mass vaccination.
“Out of one side of their mouth they’re telling the American people that hey, we have totally withdrawn from the WHO… but if you look at what they’re saying out of the other side of their mouth, they’re still keeping ties… specifically with bird flu.”

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny delivers a vaccine warning every parent should hear before it’s too late.
“Vaccines have never been proven to be safe. They don’t keep you from getting sick… and every single one causes HARM.”
Most believe they’re “fine” after vaccines, but Tenpenny says that confidence is misleading, beginning with three uncomfortable questions:
1.) “Do you have any idea what’s going on at a cellular level in your body? From your mitochondria or your ovaries or your brain?”
2.) “When you were a baby, and you got vaccines, did you scream and cry? Did your mother ever tell you that it is a sign of encephalitis (brain inflammation)?”
3.) “And what if your IQ is really meant to be 15 or 20 points higher? You would not know that.”
The real danger with vaccines, Dr. Tenpenny argues, has nothing to do with “rare side effects.”
It’s about damage you’d never know how to measure. And once you see the pattern, it’s impossible to ignore. 🧵

The medical industry often dismisses vaccine injury as “psychological.”
Why? The symptoms are often varied, can range in severity, and are hard to classify. Basically, they’re all over the map. And doctors have been encourage through various means to put blinders on when it comes to vaccine injury.
But history shows that this has happened before. Reports of strange, disabling, and very real physiological symptoms after vaccination go back more than a century.
The patterns have always been there, hidden in plain sight under constantly shifting labels.
Big Pharma wants you believe Alzheimer’s is incurable, but one brain surgeon is naming three substances that fight Alzheimer’s WITHOUT the side effects.
#1 is Curcumin, which increases mitochondrial function and reduces the inflammatory chemicals that trigger Alzheimer’s.
#2 is DHA (from omega-3 fats) - “DHA removes almost all the amyloid from brains.”
#3 is EGCG (from green tea) - ECGC has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that counter neurodegenerative processes.
Dr. Russel Blaylock says these substances are ignored by mainstream medicine—not because they don’t work, but because pharmaceutical companies “couldn’t make a profit off it.”
So, research and promotion are abandoned.
If effective treatments can be buried, what else aren’t we being told about Alzheimer’s disease? 🧵
It turns out, Alzheimer’s may not actually begin with memory loss.
It may begin with something far more ordinary—and far more overlooked.
The brain has no conventional waste-removal system. Instead, it relies on a specialized drainage network that only activates during deep sleep. That’s when toxic proteins, inflammatory byproducts, and metabolic waste are flushed out.
But when that system fails, waste accumulates—night after night.
Neurons don’t just “age.” They suffocate!
This may explain why poor sleep doubles dementia risk—and why sedatives often make things worse by suppressing the very stage of sleep the brain needs to clean itself.
For decades, medicine chased plaques while ignoring drainage.
And that mistake may have cost millions their minds.
Alzheimer’s isn’t a mystery disease. It’s a system failure.
Big medicine wants you to believe the big myth—that Alzheimer’s is a single, inevitable brain disease caused by amyloid plaques—and that nothing meaningful can be done about it until you deal with the plaques.
And for decades, medicine chased this theory—while ignoring everything else. Things like blood flow, inflammation, toxins, sleep, trauma, and metabolic collapse were brushed aside.
Billions were spent on the amyloid plaque theory. Yet no cures were delivered.
Meanwhile, real reversals of Alzheimer’s were getting ignored.
Jordan Peterson almost died trying to stop a drug that's prescribed to millions of people for anxiety.
Most patients are never told that benzodiazepines are among the only drugs where withdrawal can actually kill you. Right alongside alcohol.
And yet doctors hand them out like candy.
Peterson didn’t abuse them. He didn’t chase a high. He took a low dose, as prescribed, during an extreme period of stress when he couldn’t sleep. It “worked.” So he stayed on it.
And that’s when the real danger began.
Getting off took years. Excruciating pain. Nerve damage. Physical collapse. A recovery that still isn’t complete.
Psychiatrists were told these drugs were completely safe. The risks of dependence? Downplayed. The severity of withdrawal? Barely acknowledged. Patients stayed on them for decades because stopping felt impossible—and sometimes it was.
The anxiety crisis didn’t appear out of nowhere. It was manufactured—quietly, legally, and with full institutional backing. 🧵
Anxiety is now one of the most common mental health issues in the US.
In fact, anxiety affects over half of young adults today, with 43% experiencing panic attacks.
A staggering 54% say their anxiety worsened in 2023, and 26% were diagnosed with a new mental health condition due to COVID.
Many are turning to medications that don’t actually help and with side effects they just don’t understand.
Despite the routine use of medications, the anxiety problem keeps getting worse.

When the freedom convoy protested Canada’s vax mandates, Trudeau’s Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland issued a grave warning:
“We now have the tools to follow the money.”
What that meant was your bank account will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended, and if someone donates to your cause, their bank accounts will be frozen, too.
How different things would be if the people had the tools to “follow the money” in government spending. Instead, surveillance runs one way, downward, while power and secrecy flow upward.
This is true for almost every single Western Nation. And it’s the exact opposite of what the Founding Fathers wanted.
When governments treat their citizens like pawns, a revolutionary course of action is required. And it starts by opting out of their tyrannical financial system. 🧵
COVID took us all by surprise by showing how fast freedom can vanish when a so-called crisis takes hold. Just two weeks to stop the spread, they told us. Well, those two weeks dragged on for four years. They wiped out small businesses, censored your speech and came after your job over a pathogen with a 0.3% kill rate.
That wasn’t a health crisis. It was an attempt to subdue society by also a massively lucrative wealth funnel. Between March of 2020 and late 2021, the COVID era created about 573 new billionaires worldwide.
And the existing billionaires got even richer.
And while they dangled endless carrots about what we needed to do to get back to normal, the same people who told you what to inject also decided who got rich. And as bad as Covid was, it was only a dress rehearsal for what comes next.
The next phase is already being discussed openly:
• Digital IDs.
• CBDCs.
• Social credit scores.
• Access to “privileges” based on compliance.
But know this: you can fight back. You don’t have to comply with their monetary system.
And that same instinct that made you skeptical in 2020 is the instinct that could position you for generational wealth now.

The government didn’t just lie to you during COVID.
Most Americans now believe it helped kill people.
“Almost 6 in 10 Americans literally think the government colluded with corporations to murder Americans,” @honestpollster revealed—and that number keeps climbing.
This isn’t a fringe belief anymore. It’s gone fully mainstream.
And yet, no one has been arrested. Not a single pharma executive has faced consequences. And the CEO of Pfizer? Still donating to both parties.
Trump had a clear opportunity to deliver justice. Instead, the very people his base wanted behind bars were shielded.
And now, that failure to act is starting to show.
Trump’s polling is taking a serious hit, whether it be the lack of accountability, no action on election integrity, foreign entanglements, or even immigration.
Americans are speaking, but is anyone listening?
What are the midterms going to look like? And what exactly is the political future of America? There’s no one better to discuss this than Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports, the pollster Fox News needs but doesn’t want.
Mark joins us now.
🧵 THREAD
The conversation opened with a question that’s been on a lot of minds lately: why are Trump’s policies polling better than the man himself? @honestpollster didn’t hold back.
He said the problem isn’t the message—it’s the gap between what was promised and what people actually see.
“You can’t force public opinion,” he warned. Voters remember the pledges to restore the American dream, secure the border, and drain the swamp. But what they’re seeing is a system that still looks rigged—and no one behind it has gone to jail.
“There’s a level of desperation and an exasperation in the system that has failed people,” he explained. Americans trusted Trump more than the federal government, but after years of waiting, visible change is still missing.
The most jarring moment came when Mitchell cited polling that showed “almost 6 in 10 Americans literally think the government colluded with corporations to murder Americans” during COVID.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Pfizer remains untouched, protected by donations to both parties. “He wants credit for draining the swamp,” he said, “but he isn’t getting it.”
This wasn’t an attack. It was a reality check from someone who’s listening to the people. The movement is still alive—but voters aren’t waiting for slogans. They’re waiting for justice. And they’re running out of patience.
