JD Vance talks about Energy, Border and Stopping Fentanyl
- last year
JD Vance: "I guess my first reaction is they don't work very hard because we got sworn in on Tuesday,and then we started a three week recess.So I'm actually back in my home in Cincinnati right now, which is so crazy to me, because it's not like the country doesn't have major crises and problems that you would expect its United States senate to actually be working on.
But the other thing, of course, is that the senate is so fundamentally, I think, separate from what people actually care about and what's actually going on in the country.A lot of people were slapped, patting themselves on the back for having spent another $45 billion of taxpayer money and sent it to Ukraine.Even as an amount of fentanyl that could kill not thousands, but millions or billions of people continues to flow across our southern border every single month.And now, of course, joe biden has issued an immigration executive order that would basically sweep these massive crowds of people under the rug.It would hide them from cameras, but it wouldn't solve the fact that the country is being invaded at the invitation of the president of the United States."
