JD Vance

You know, I was just telling you this earlier, but the first time that I've been in a public spot without Secret Service in the room is right now.

So I'm like looking around for these guys.

How long has it been?

It's three months, right?

So he asked me the Monday of the RNC convention, which I think was June 15th.

And I really didn't know that morning.

I thought that he was probably going to pick me, but I didn't know for sure, probably 60, 40, basically.

And so I had no idea.

I get the call around one o'clock at Milwaukee time at the RNC convention.

I'm hanging out with my kid.

Another one of my kids is in the other room asleep because, you know, our kids are young, so they nap still.

And he makes this call and he's like, hey, do you want to be my vice president?

Well, actually, what happened is I get a text message from a staff member on his team that says, you just missed a very important phone call.

And I don't know, you know, because there's so much inbound traffic that I think it just went straight to voicemail.

So I call him back and I'm like, hey, sir, what's going on?

He said, JD, you just missed a very important phone call.

I'm going to have to pick somebody else now.

You know, so I'm about to shit a brick here.

And then he says, no, no, I'm just kidding, obviously.

I want you to be my vice president.
