Vice President JD Vance won the admiration of viewers after a beautiful pro-family response to a blackpilling Fox News interviewer who presented the idea of bringing new life into the world as an anxiety-riddled experience with only negative outcomes for the child.
Vance, representing the millennial generation, has spent his entire life surrounded by negative views of humanity in which people have been blamed for the omnipresent climate crisis, so part of the leftist reaction to children is that it is climate-altering problems, not life, that parents are bringing into the world. At the same time, as the supposed climate problem persists and worsens, they fearmonger over what kind of world the children will inherit.
Undeterred, the brilliantly-spoken vice president masterfully deflected the doom and gloom while acknowledging there have always been issues in the world but spoke of the excitement rather than the downsides of raising a family. “How do you feel as a couple bringing a fourth child into the world? The world’s a kind of a wild place sometimes. Does it bring you anxiety, joy, a little bit of both?” the interview began.
Before Vice President Vance weighed in, it was his wife, First Lady Usha, who rejected the premise of the question and celebrated parenthood and raising children. “Well, my view is that the world is always a chaotic place. There are always dangers in the world. There are always uncertainties, but having children has given me a sense of purpose, and it brings infinite joy and hope for the future. So, I don’t see having a child right now as any different from having a child nine years ago, when our first child was born. There’s still that sense of promise that comes with it,” she beautifully stated.
Taking her lead, JD Vance then destroyed the notion that having children could be viewed negatively. “Yeah, I mean it’s different in the sense that there are creature comforts of being the Vice President, United States. You know, we have this beautiful house, we have like, I never have to drive the kids and then yell out in the back seat to stop hitting their brother, hitting their sister. We just have Secret Service that drives us around now,” he began.
“So there are these sort of little ways in which life is just more convenient, I think, to bring a new baby into the world. So that’s that, that’s something that I’m actually looking forward to a little bit. Obviously, we travel around in Air Force Two now, which is a great benefit to our family, so it’s not like I have to drag four kids through the TSA Precheck line anymore,” he said.
“It’s different in that way, but I think fundamentally Usha said it better than I could, which is that having a baby is fundamentally, I think, a hopeful thing. I think you have to have some hope for the future, and I think both of us have a lot of hope for the future, and it’s hard not to when you spend your life around a nine year old and a six year old and a four year old, just the perspective that they have on life and on everything, how fresh and exciting everything is,” he continued.
“It’s just, it’s hard not to feel very good about the world, and that’s, that’s kind of how I think about this new baby, is he’s going to come into a very loving family, a very stable family, you know, he’s going to have some siblings who may be annoyed when he starts to steal their toys, but that’s normal stuff that all kids experience, and we’re just, we’re very lucky to be able to live the life that we lead, and I think our baby is going to come into a family that’s in a very, very good spot, and where he’s going to be able to grow and thrive and experience the world and God’s creation in all these fascinating ways, and that’s all I could really hope for out of a new life, and I’m grateful that we’re doing it,” he finished.
