In the recent Turning Point USA event, JD Vance engaged in a thought-provoking debate with students, challenging the status quo in American politics. The discussion ranged from concerns about military deployment in cities to immigration policies and the role of Christianity in governance.
Vance addressed the potential dangers of power abuse by politicians, emphasizing that conservatives should not shy away from taking necessary actions due to fear of future misuse by others. He defended tighter immigration controls, asserting the need for a merit-based system, while recognizing the complexities of existing immigration pathways for those who have legally contributed to the country.
The conversation also touched on the separation of church and state, with Vance arguing for a community-level blending of Christian values. As the debate unfolded, students posed critical questions about the implications of U.S. foreign policy towards Israel, highlighting concerns over possible conflicts of interest.
Vance’s responses sparked a lively dialogue, illustrating the dynamic intersection of faith, politics, and immigration in contemporary America. This engaging debate not only showcased Vance’s perspectives but also brought to light the students’ diverse opinions, making for a compelling exchange of ideas.

Vance is awesome and I’m really proud of the people asking the hard questions. You don’t see this level of intelligence on the left whatsoever.
I'm an atheist, and more Christ like than a lot of Christians I've met. I've met good one's as well, typically not Republican though.
JD Vance is the real deal ❤
What is with the MAGA guys eyes during his question??? I am on the trump train but either this guy is high… or demonic possession. Watch his eyes when he asks his question.
That's the next President of the United States folks! Imagine AOC debating JD Vance?? 😂😂😂
Vance 2028!
She’s mad that H1B Visas arnt handed out like candy

funny to make the argument of biden doing anything like trump has done. if biden did half or even a quarter of the things trump has. im sure it would have been endless callouts and rants on the right.
But the funny thing is. he didnt do it did he?
yet we are supposed to assume they would just do that. like they magically have any history of doing anything remotely close to/as damaging to our democratic process/infrastructure as trump currently has.
"The reasoning mechanism is simple:
Construct a hypothetical where the political opponent (e.g., Biden) acts in a way perceived as tyrannical.
Use it to preemptively justify similar behavior from one’s own faction by claiming “they’d do it anyway.”"
purely moral laundering and framing moral consistency as weakness.
Stop funding the nastyahoo. They are not friends who assassinate people who disagree wtih them. Never forget for one minute that so called alled ally is a greater danger than Russia and all the Arab nations combined. Maybe its time to make new friends.
This Indian woman is clueless, we are removing illegals, however she wants to believe we are removing American citizens. Fake news believer.
Dude sounds good! More interested than him than i have been!
❤
Answered nothing on "ethnic cleansing".
H1b visas are not to hire accountants. They are hiring call center employees or hotel cleaners and landscapers no one wants to do. And companies have to prove no one in their state is willing to fill those jobs by advertising state wide. And the fed government sets the wages. So no one is saving money. They pay 50% more for those visa workers on top of the filing fees and housing and meals and travel.
Remember when kamala did this? I dont either
Great questions from the crowd. The more I hear JD speak, the more I like him. JD 2028 🇺🇸
This Ladies and Gentlemen is MY Vice President !!!! Thank you Mr Vance !!!
1:04 we can’t. America is fucked.
That's what I tell people. Illegals make it harder for legals to come in, whether for citizenship or tourism. People say not allowing illegal immigration is racist, but I argue the opposite, that it allows a disproportionate number of latinos to come in. There are dreamers in other parts of the world like Zimbabwe or Philippines too and it is more difficult for them to come in if illegals are allowed here.
Charlie supported JD Vance 100%
Dang he is going to b a very good president maybe even better than Trump for one reason is because of how he interacts with people! Trump uae the words "I did this" way too much!
