But can you just give us some insight into what’s actually happening on the ground and what is the message that needs to be delivered so that folks can come to the right conclusion in November?” Palihapitiya asked. “I guess I have two basic messages. There’s a lot of good that we’ve done over the past 18 months. We cut taxes bigly. We cut taxes on overtime, Social Security, and tips,” (https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/people-are-very-unhappy-podcaster-presses-jd-vance-on-trump-launching-iran-war-and-not-getting-inflation-under-control/) Vance said, adding: Those are tax cuts for middle American workers, not just for the elites in Washington and New York City. We’ve had an amazing success with the border, with immigration. We’ve pursued H1B reform that prioritizes American workers over foreign nationals. There’s a lot of good that’s been done, but there’s a lot of work left to do. Don’t give power to the people who cause the problems that we’re fixing. Give us another chance, or give us another couple of years, to continue to work on the amazing things that we’ve been doing for the past two years.  Vance’s request for Americans to “give us another chance” quickly went viral online as (https://x.com/brianschatz/status/2100289683578065339) critics viewed it as a tacit acknowledgement of the administration’s perceived failures. “The second argument I’d make is, even if you don’t agree with us on every issue, the other party is consumed by craziness. They’re consumed by people who want to steal everything, who want to give the country over to illegal aliens and criminals. They actively brag about it,” Vance continued, adding: I’ve heard a lot of crazy stuff, guys, over the past few years in politics. But when I heard somebody running for Congress in New York say that July 4th was about the liberation of Puerto Rico and Palestine, I thought to myself, this person needs to be checked into a mental hospital, not given a seat in Congress. So to the American people, I’d say, send these people packing, put them in the mental hospital, do not put them in Congress, because even if you don’t agree with us on every policy issue, at least we’re motivated by common sense and American interest. They’re just motivated by left-wing interest groups and radicalism, and they’re going to do a very bad job if we give them power.  Watch the clip above.
