I'm very excited to announce that the Vice President, J.D. Vance, is going to be with us today. The last time that we saw the Vice President on stage like this at an all-in summit, he wasn't the Vice President yet. It was about 10 months ago at the all-in summit that we did last year, and obviously a lot has changed. I think he's been doing a phenomenal job in making us all proud, and it's going to be great to catch up with him. So without further ado, Vice President J.D. Vance.
JD Vance 0:32
Good to see you. David, good to see you. What's up, brother?
Jason 0:35
Hey, Jason, how are you, man?
JD Vance 0:36
Nice to see you. Wow. How are you, man? Good to see you. How you doing? Good. So the last time I did this podcast, I think Jason was a huge asshole to me. I'm the vice president here in D.C. You have to be nice to me now, Jason.
David Sacks 0:49
Oh, it's on? Well, okay, let me get my list of topics. He was hoping you'd give him a White House tour later today.
JD Vance 0:55
You're welcome to have a White House tour. Really? I know a guy. I asked David three times.
Jason 1:00
His invitation's been lost in the mail a few times.

Well, no, actually, listen, if we're starting it up, congratulations on a great run. Thank you. I appreciate it. It was fun. You know, we can differ on some of the margins, but I just think all Americans appreciate the pace at which, especially in the technology industry, you're going, and the effectiveness. So, I just want to congratulate you on that, sincerely. I appreciate that. Okay, so let's get into some topics. Right. Immigration. When we last talked, you said, I said, hey, you're going to deport 20 million people all at once? That seems quite chaotic. And you said, no, we're going to do it like a sandwich, take a couple of bites. How's that going?
JD Vance 1:39
i think it's going well i mean we are criticized interestingly by some folks on the right who want the pace of deportations to be higher and i certainly understand that frankly and share that frustration the counter argument is the courts are trying to stay stop us at every step of the way and until about a month ago we didn't have the resources for ice to actually get this massive invasion that joe biden led into our country We didn't have the resources necessary to actually process a lot of those people. That has changed because of the big, beautiful bill. We've also gotten some court case wins. So I expect that the pace of deportations will increase a little bit. But importantly, when people criticize us and they say, you know, sometimes I'll hear this criticism, well, the pace of deportations from the Trump administration is actually lower than it was the Biden administration.
JD Vance 2:23
And that's actually a completely fake statistic. It's based on the fact But if you come into the country illegally, and then the Biden administration processes you and sends you out, that counts as a deportation. It counts as an illegal immigration, and then it counts as deportation. So you have to look at the net number, right? If you do plus one, minus one, I'm not a math expert, but I'm pretty sure that's zero. The net number is what really matters. And where the Trump administration, where we've been most wildly successful is that we have, I think in 2025, we will have the first net negative immigration number in about 50 or 60 years in the United States. And so there has been a major, a major, major shift in immigration policy.
JD Vance 3:03
Now, again, I'm like, you know, me and Stephen Miller are probably the two most hard line people in the entire administration when it comes to immigration. So there's always more that we can do. And like I said, I think that there is more that we can do. But if you just look fundamentally, what people said is that if you actually take border enforcement seriously, the entire economy is going to collapse. Inflation is going to go through the roof. Housing costs are going to go through the roof. And if you look, while there's still a lot more to do, inflation has cooled. Housing costs are now showing signs of peaking, I think, according to Zillow. Over the past 12 months, housing costs have gone up 0.8%.
