Summary

Vice President JD Vance is “scarier in certain ways” than President Donald Trump, according to former White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Vance is “young” and “ambitious,” Psaki said on the leftist political podcast “I've Had It,” adding that the vice president is “agile in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.” Psaki also took a swipe at first lady Usha Vance, indicating she might not be happy in her marriage. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” Psaki said. “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you.” While in Israel with the first lady, Vance was asked about the comments and called them “disgraceful,” adding, “but of course, the second lady can speak for herself. I am very lucky to have a wonderful wife.” Psaki’s comments on Vance are telling. The next presidential election is over three years away. It is no secret that Vance is thought to be a top contender for the Oval Office position, and so the talking heads on the left are already priming their base to despise him. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the left’s fear not only of Vance, but the broader policies of the Trump administration. Also on today’s show, there is no end in sight to the government shutdown, but Trump is staying busy with construction of the White House ballroom well underway. And the New York City mayoral election is around the corner, with crime and housing prices taking center stage. All this and more on this week’s show!
