Full Headline: Unearthed video: JD Vance said childless elites make the U.S.
“dangerous.” It was too much for a Newsmax interviewer.
In a previously unreported interview, JD Vance ranted in 2021 that the
country has become a “dangerous place to live” because of childless elites.
Vance’s remarks were met with skepticism from a seemingly unlikely source:
Jenn Pellegrino, a conservative Newsmax host who was interviewing him.
Vance, who was previously a conservative commentator, has frequently
criticized people for being childless. Media Matters has documented
numerous instances of such remarks made in right-wing media, and senior
fellow Matt Gertz has noted that the right-wing media bubble has
incentivized politicians like Vance to make toxic remarks.
In one instance, Vance attacked people “who can't have kids” because they
“passed the biological period when it was possible” as “miserable” people
who pursue “racial or gender equity” to give “their life meaning.” Those
comments, which were first reported by Media Matters, resurfaced over the
weekend and increased scrutiny on Trump’s running mate.
While right-wing media outlets have largely been a safe space, some
conservative hosts haven’t bought into his rhetoric. In July, Fox News’ Trey
Gowdy said before interviewing him that “some of the finest people I know
don’t have children.”
Another instance occurred on July 30, 2021, when Vance, then a Senate
candidate, appeared on the now-defunct show Cortes & Pellegrino on the
pro-Trump Newsmax TV. Former Trump adviser Steve Cortes and
conservative reporter Jenn Pellegrino hosted the show.
Cortes started off by praising Vance “for being bold enough to say things
that I think a lot of people on the right believe but are too scared to say
because they’re scared of the blowback, and you clearly are not.”
Cortes then shifted to discussing “credentialed elites,” whom he described
as “childless” people who “don't encounter families very much, and yet they
have an incredible outsize influence on families all over the United States
that they're totally separated from.”
Vance agreed, falsely claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t
have children (she’s a stepmother) and arguing that “we're being ruled by a
childless elite.”
He went on: “And it's not just they don't have kids — of course a lot of
people don't have kids for different reasons — it's that they're proud of the
fact they don't have kids. … They look down on people who invest their time
and their future in their children.” He concluded: “That is a dangerous place
to live as a country.”
JD VANCE: I was looking at the leaders of the Democrats and realized how
many of the next-gen leaders of the Democrats — It's Kamala Harris, it's
AOC, it's a lot of folks like that — they're not planning to have kids. They
don't have kids. And I noticed that, you know, not having children, I think,
changes the way you think about the future of the country. If you don't have
skin in the game — you pointed to some of the studies that suggest that
parents think about the future of the country in a different way.
And I realized that we're being ruled by a childless elite, and it's not just
they don't have kids — of course a lot of people don't have kids for different
reasons — it's that they're proud of the fact they don't have kids. They think
it's bad if you have kids. They think it's bad for the environment.
They're proud of their abortions. They shout their abortions from the
rooftops. We're entering a new era where the leaders of the left are not just
without kids. They're proud of that fact, and they look down on people who
invest their time and their future in their children. And that is a dangerous
place to live as a country.
Pellegrino then (gently) pushed back on Vance’s remarks. The Newsmax co-
host said she has “a different stance” and told him of childless people:
“There are about a quarter of the population that chooses not to have kids.
These are perhaps some of the hardest-working, most career-driven people
that you'll find. Are we not painting this group with perhaps a broad brush?”
JENN PELLEGRINO: JD, so I'm curious. I take a different stance, a little bit
different than you and Steve, respectfully. There are about a quarter of the
population that chooses not to have kids. These are perhaps some of the
hardest-working, most career-driven people that you'll find. Are we not
painting this group with perhaps a broad brush? Because not everybody is
of that mentality that, you know, I'm not doing it because of climate change.
Some people just choose a little bit differently, and should those people not
be excluded, because perhaps society is changing a little bit. Perhaps
people are seeing the American dream as, you know, focusing on their
careers. What are your thoughts?
Vance replied:
JD VANCE: Look, I've got people in my own family who haven't had kids for
various reasons. Of course I've got dear friends who haven't had kids. But I
think it's one thing to say that some people are gonna choose not to have
children, and another thing to say that we're living in a country where having
children is now looked down upon. And I think that's really where we have to
focus our attention. Look, you do not have a future as a country unless you
have the next generation, unless you have babies, unless you have viable
healthy families.
And I think so much of what's going on in the left, especially, is that they
become obsessed with this idea that having a kid is like an old fashioned
thing. It's something the previous generations did. Look, if people don’t
want to have kids, that's their choice. But we shouldn't turn it into a lifestyle
brand, and we shouldn't point our finger at those hicks in middle America
who have children because those are the people who are gonna actually be
the future of this country whether we like it or not.

(The rats are beginning to look cornered.)
Elon Musk’s attacks on Kamala Harris become more
unhinged, with help from AI
On Monday, Musk posted an AI-generated image on his
social media platform that depicted Harris as a
communist, wearing a red uniform complete with hammer
and sickle emblazoned hat.
Musk, who has endorsed former President Donald Trump
for president and poured millions into a super PAC
supporting the Republican, captioned the image with the
false assertion, “Kamala vows to be a communist
dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that
outfit!?”
The image, which appeared to violate X’s policy on
manipulated content, resembled an AI-generated image
posted by Trump last month during the Democratic
National Convention, envisioning Harris addressing a
crowd under communist symbols.
Musk’s post came a day after he shared another post
with a screenshot suggesting that only “high status
males” should be able to participate in government
because women (and men with “low testosterone”) are not
capable of critical thought. Musk posted it to his 196
million followers with the comment, “interesting
observation.”

Do you think that will put the kibosh on his plans to
be the Emperor of Mars?
"Musk has repeatedly stated that he wants to build a
million-person Mars city within the next ten years.
Zubrin dismisses this goal as impossible. He believes
it would be far more feasible to settle multiple
50,000-person cities over the next fifty years. This
would also have the advantage of allowing each one to
compete with the others for raw materials, people, and
capital investment."

I am not sure what his further plans for that are at
this point, but there are sure a lot of people passing a
hat to buy him a ticket at this point.
