00:00Given that vantage point that you've had into Donald Trump, how do you think he's absorbing
00:07these comments by J.D. Vance about childless cat people and the sort of blowback that he's
00:15gotten on social media and elsewhere from women, notably a subset of voters that Republicans
00:24haven't had the most success with?
00:29What made Vice President Mike Pence successful as a vice presidential candidate is he understood
00:35President Trump's personality.
00:37He took a back seat, and his attitude was do no harm, say nothing that could be overly
00:43advantageous or disadvantageous.
00:46J.D. Vance is a different beast.
00:48He's 39 years old.
00:50He's very ambitious.
00:51He has a very high opinion of himself.
00:53He sees this as a moment for him to shine as opposed to a moment to take a back seat
00:58to Donald Trump.
01:00Remember, when Donald Trump has somebody in his field of vision that's getting attention,
01:05he usually blows them to smithereens.
01:06He did it on The Apprentice with that blonde woman in the first two seasons.
01:11There was a joke inside the administration, if you're getting too much attention and Trump
01:16leans over to you and says, oh, where are you, President Bannon now, or you're getting
01:22more popular than me, it was time to book a trip to Antarctica and to go into hiding.
01:28Vance doesn't get that.
01:29He thinks he's actually a vice presidential candidate, but he's a deep subordinate to
01:34Donald Trump.
01:37Just watch how this plays out, Boris.
01:39You'll invite me back.
01:40I'll give you more color commentary as he continues to do these malaprops and bloopers.
