Now, why would it be called that? Maybe he didn't have control over the headline. But to me, that means I'm not just converting to Catholicism. I'm converting to conservative Catholicism, which is at the moment a rising intellectual movement in revolt against Catholicism.

classical liberalism, against the ideas of the Enlightenment, against the idea of the autonomous individual with rights and freedoms as the key focus of politics. And instead, he's saying, I am embracing a different – A different Catholicism that is communal. And he cites Tolkien. All of these guys love the Lord of the Rings. He cites C.S. Lewis.

And it's a kind of post-liberal Christianity that lots of other – famous and leading conservative politicians and intellectuals seem to be moving to at the same time. So there's a political implication. And strategically, well, what happens around that time? That's 2019, 2020. That's the moment when publicly Vance begins to say essentially Trump is right. And I was wrong about Trump.

He doesn't go quite that far in his public speeches at that moment. He doesn't have to. But he gives a series of speeches in which he says, let's get past this Republican libertarianism, tax cuts, deregulation. That's not helping my people. Free trade. That's not what... working-class America needs. The real problem is the family and immigration.

And what we need is a politics that supports families and that supports native-born Americans. not all these newcomers coming into the country. And he even begins to soften on tariffs, which he had been against before. And suddenly all the policy items of MAGA, of the Trump agenda,

Yeah, I watched that interview. It's just utter nonsense. It is so false. And all you have to do is go back to the clip where Vance said it, which was to Tucker Carlson, and to a speech he gave before that, where he certainly mocked Democrats in the media and in politics for being childless and therefore having no stake in the future of the country.

That was his point, that if you don't have children... Why would you care about the future? And therefore, why should the country give you any power either as a politician or as a journalist to determine the future? That's the point he was making. It had nothing to do with the difficulty of being a parent in America. And so Usha Vance, nice try. She was pretty good.

She was showing that she's learned how to twist the truth on TV in service of her husband's political ambitions. But it doesn't pass the laugh test because Vance had begun, as you suggest, to sound a very different note as soon as he was running for Senate in 2021. Suddenly, there's this kind of snarling, aggressive, mocking, taunting tone that we have not heard from him.
