0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.2	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. We are in Washington, D.C. today, and we are officially in the old executive office building which houses a bunch of
0:24.0	different offices related to the presidency including this office that we're in right now which
0:28.4	is the vice president's ceremonial office it's very fancy it's ornate and it's lovely and
0:34.7	we are sitting down with the vice president himself today. We just
0:38.7	wrapped the interview. It's fascinating. He's in rare form. He's funny. He's in depth. He's
0:44.9	interesting. And we cover everything from Iran to affordability, to immigration, and what's
0:51.5	real, to Don Lemon. So I had to subject the poor man to that. It's sort of
0:57.3	coming home for the two of us in a way in that it was nine years ago that I went out to Ohio
1:02.9	and interviewed back then just a regular old J.D. Vance, who didn't have the title Senator,
1:07.9	wasn't even running for Senate, never mind vice president.
1:16.4	And he had just left a stint with Peter Thiel out in San Francisco, which was not for JD.
1:17.9	He told me at the time, Sam Fram.
1:19.6	He and Usha were newly married.
1:23.8	They were expecting their first baby, living in a small little apartment.
1:25.6	And look at him now.
1:44.6	What a change in his life in just those nine years. We talk about that too. I think you're going to enjoy this exchange. Without further ado, Vice President J.D. Vance. You know Pure Talk's favorite holiday? President's Day? Because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple of presidents, just a Jackson and a Lincoln, to be exact. For just 25 bucks a month, Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk, text,
1:50.7	and plenty of data. Now, compare that to Big Wireless. They'd rather celebrate Benjamin Franklin
1:56.5	Day so they can charge your family hundreds every month. Pure Talk is an American wireless
2:01.9	company that supports our veterans, all of them, and invests in a U.S. only customer service team.
2:09.0	So when you call, you are talking to someone right here at home. Pure Talk uses the same
2:13.7	towers as the big carrier, so enjoy superior 5G coverage without the inflated price.
