Senator JD Vance just gave NBC’s Kristen Welker a lesson in real threats to America. In an interview that could’ve been a simple Q&A, Vance instead dropped some hard-hitting truth bombs on how Washington’s broken leadership poses more danger to America’s future than foreign powers like Russia and China. All this stemmed from Trump’s recent interview with Joe Rogan, where he argued that America’s biggest threat comes from within—a sentiment Vance backed up with conviction.
When Welker tried to steer the conversation toward foreign threats like China’s recent cyber-attack campaign targeting both presidential candidates, Vance didn’t flinch. He pointed out that America has the resilience and strength to confront outside threats, whether they come from Moscow or Beijing. But the internal rot? That’s another story entirely. Vance spelled it out: “The biggest threat we have in our country isn’t a foreign adversary, because we can handle these guys… [but] our own leadership is why we lost our industrial base to China.”
Vance made it clear that the so-called “enemy within” is a leadership class that’s watched America’s industrial might and job base erode while pushing reckless policies. Under Nancy Pelosi’s tenure, he argued, America slipped from a manufacturing powerhouse to second place behind China. That’s a direct failure of our leaders, not our soldiers or citizens. And he didn’t just stop there—Vance also threw down the gauntlet on real-world issues everyday Americans face: unaffordable groceries, a border that’s wide open, and military recruitment goals that are shockingly unmet.
Contrast that with the Biden administration’s chosen “threat”: domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security and other officials repeatedly push this narrative, insisting it’s America’s gravest threat, but never providing solid data to back it up. As Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas warns of this looming “domestic threat,” his administration has practically thrown the border wide open, allowing millions of unvetted, unchecked individuals into the country—yet the media sits silent.
It’s telling, isn’t it? When Trump or Vance sound the alarm about failing leadership and economic collapse, the mainstream media pounces, accusing them of downplaying foreign threats. But when Biden amps up the rhetoric on domestic terrorism, especially with “white supremacy” at the center, they nod along without question.
Vance’s message is clear: America’s biggest dangers aren’t lurking in Moscow or Beijing—they’re sitting comfortably in D.C., pushing the policies that got us into this mess. Until we address that “enemy within,” no amount of tough talk on China or Russia is going to fix what’s broken. The media might ignore it, but the American people see right through it.
