NBC\u2019s Kristen Welker may reconsider inviting Vice President JD Vance on as a \u201cMeet the Press\u201d guest, because this interview turned into a one-sided win for the VP.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported<\/a>, Vance sat down with NBC\u2019s Kristen Welker for a \u201cMeet the Press\u201d interview shortly after the Bolton raid. The full interview aired on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Welker tried to play gotcha by pulling the \u2018a lot of people are saying\u2019 trick to make it appear Trump was just trying to get back at Bolton because he hates the president.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Vance had the perfect answer to shut down her line of garbage. He pointed out that everyone she cited who claimed this was about revenge were the same people who tried to lock up Trump for life on garbage charges.<\/p>\n

A hostile Kristen Welker also tried to slyly accuse Trump of being in bed with Putin by claiming he\u2019s doing nothing to stop the Russian leader from bombing Ukraine. This is a lie, but telling the truth defeats the liberal narrative of Trump as a Russian agent.<\/p>\n

Vance completely shut Welker down by pointing out some basic facts, including the recent tariffs on key Russian economic partner India, to make it more difficult for the Russians to get rich off oil.<\/p>\n

He also reminded her that Trump has put far more pressure on Putin and Russia than Biden did throughout his time in office. And when Welker tried to interrupt, Vance swatted her aside by educating her on the progress toward ending the fighting and giving her a little lesson about negotiation.<\/p>\n

Holy CRAP: Kristen Welker is embarrassing herself. She\u2019s accusing President Trump of not putting any pressure on Putin. Does she live on the same planet as we do? pic.twitter.com\/T42vmF1njq<\/a><\/p>\n

JD VANCE RESPONDS: \u201cThe President has applied more economic pressure to the Russians\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

WELKER: Where exactly is the pressure on Russia to do anything if you\u2019re not right now imposing sanctions?! How do you get them to a place of getting to the table with Zelenskyy and stopping them from dropping bombs?<\/p>\n

VANCE: Kristen, I think that question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of where we are. The President has applied aggressive economic leverage, for example, the secondary tariffs on India, to make it harder for Russians to get rich from their oil economy.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s tried to make it clear Russia can try to be reinvited into the world economy if they stop the killing, but they\u2019re going to continue to be isolated if they don\u2019t stop the killing.<\/p>\n

The president has applied more economic pressure to the Russians to stop this war than Biden did in three years.<\/p>\n

WELKER (Tries to interrupt but fails): You know, the\u2026<\/p>\n

VANCE (shutting her down): So the idea is that we\u2019re not doing anything; we are already doing things right now. And this is how negotiation works!<\/p>\n

You do something, you talk to the parties, you try to see if there\u2019s a meeting of minds. Again, we believe we\u2019ve already seen some significant concessions from both sides just in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

We believe we\u2019re going to be successful, or we\u2019re going to hit a brick wall. And if we hit a brick wall, then we\u2019re going to continue this process of negotiation of applying leverage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
