This interview is from about two and a half years ago, before Roe v. Wade was overturned in June, 2022. At this time, Vance was running for U.S. senator from Ohio, a seat he won. The interview is more interesting in light of the fact that President Trump chose Vance as his running mate this year.
It is a wide-ranging interview that touches on the attempts to ban God from the public square, the grace shown to billionaire playboy Donald Trump by the evangelical Christian community, Vance’s upbringing and this memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” his tour of duty in Iraq, his time among the atheists at Yale Law School, our untrustworthy elections, and the need to never give up the fight for America.
