Tech expert Kurt'CyberGuy' Knutsson joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss the future of AI development in the United States. Vice President JD Vance honored his mother, Beverly Aikins, at the White House Monday to commemorate her reaching 10 years of sobriety. "I remember when I gave my (Republican National Committee) convention speech, which was the craziest thing, and I even said during the speech that we would have your 10-year medallion ceremony at the White House," Vance said in the White House's Roosevelt Room, according to the Washington Examiner. Vice President JD Vance, pictured here with his wife, Usha Vance, outlined his mother's battle with sobriety and substance abuse in his book, "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis." "Well, here we are," Vance said.

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, gave his first speech since receiving the Republican Party's nomination for vice president on Wednesday, and it could offer a look into his future role on the presidential campaign trail. The "Hillbilly Elegy" author mentioned his home state of Ohio 12 times during his remarks. We gotta win Michigan too here," Vance, an Ohio State University alumnus, said to the crowd. The second most-mentioned states were Michigan and Pennsylvania, with both being talked about by Vance six times. Sen. JD Vance promised not to forget where he came from, referring to the Rust Belt, when speaking at the RNC. Kentucky was also a significant state for Vance, as he spent a portion of his childhood there with his grandmother, "Mamaw." The state, which differs from the others as it traditionally votes red, was also mentioned by the Republican four times. Vance also referenced three times the pivotal Midwestern battleground state of Wisconsin, where the Republican National Convention is taking place. His heavy emphasis on these Rust Belt states comes as former President Trump has already signaled his intent to use Vance to his advantage in Midwestern swing states. "[Trump] just said, 'Look, I think I've got to go save this country.

When I first processed the news that Ron Howard was directing a feature adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance's 2016 memoir, I made it my personal mission to see the movie. Given the book's reputation, I was expecting a sensitive portrait of Appalachia that drew from Vance's childhood memories to offer insights into the lives of the white working class. Instead, I was faced with perhaps the most catastrophically misguided work of pop sociology ever committed to film. I didn't even make it to the hour mark before I had to shut everything down in disgust, because 49 minutes into the movie, Mamaw (Glenn Close), the fierce but tender matriarch of the Vance family, offers young J.D. the following advice: Everyone in this world is one of three kinds: a good Terminator, a bad Terminator, or neutral. I have always known that coastal elites like Howard look on some groups of Americans with incomprehension, fear, and even hatred.

'Hillbilly Elegy' author J.D. Vance responds to suggestion on'Tucker Carlson Tonight' The idea, mooted by some Democrats and liberals, of a South Africa-style Truth and Reconciliation Commission after President Trump's term of office of complete would be less about reconciliation than "revenge," author J.D. Vance told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich tweeted Saturday that such a commission would "erase Trump's lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe." "This is torn from a page in a George Orwell novel ... because who can protest'truth and reconciliation'," stated Vance, the author of "Hillbilly Elegy." Vance added that the idea would not only damage the country, but shows how "whiny" liberal Democrats still are about Hillary Clinton's 2016 election loss. "Instead of trying to win the next election and moving on with the life of American democratic politics, they want to go backward and punish everybody," Vance said.
