\u201c[A] lot of the people who are going and getting four-year degrees, they\u2019re not like engineers and doctors. They have effectively fake jobs,\u201d Vice President JD Vance told podcast host Mike Rowe last week. This is ironic, given that the Constitution doesn\u2019t even give the vice president a full-time job. The position carries just two responsibilities: breaking ties in the Senate and not dying. Every vice president has to decide how to fill the rest of their time. Al Gore championed emerging technologies and the environment. Dick Cheney massively expanded the surveillance state. Vance goes on podcasts to spread conspiracy theories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his 2016 memoir, \u201cHillbilly Elegy,\u201d Vance denounces conspiracy theorists as \u201cfringe lunatics.\u201d But once a paranoid ethos became nonnegotiable for an ambitious Republican, he changed his tune. Now, Vance appears to be the administration\u2019s chief conspiracy communicator. This week, Vance went on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast to discuss the big lie of voter fraud, aliens, the deep state, Jeffrey Epstein and why so many people have accused him of being an antisemite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vance\u2019s mission is to keep low-propensity male voters and their idols, like Rogan, in the MAGA fold despite Trump hiding the Epstein files, breaking his promise of no new wars and failing to release any juicy details about extraterrestrials or the Kennedy assassination. That means walking a delicate line between validating the paranoids\u2019 worldview and praising his boss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it like being the vice president?,\u201d Rogan asked, hard-hitting as ever, \u201cLike how much access do you have to information?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I have, like, effectively unlimited access to information,\u201d Vance boasted. But there\u2019s a catch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said that I am going to look into the UFO thing,\u201d Vance explained. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been saying that for a year and a half and I haven\u2019t done it yet because I haven\u2019t had the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance insisted that he had been too busy trying to make Trump\u2019s war with Iran as successful as possible and calling senators about the housing bill.<\/p>\n

The vice president also agreed with his host that the Los Angeles mayoral race was \u201csuper sus.\u201d The two men traded insinuations about Democrats recruiting homeless people to vote in the primary \u2014 without providing supporting evidence. (Even if that were true, homeless people don\u2019t lose their voting rights, and it\u2019s fair to assume those who did vote weren\u2019t fans of Pratt, whose platform was putting the homeless in camps.) But proof was beside the point. This was an opportunity for Vance to champion the SAVE Act, Trump\u2019s doomed voter ID legislation, and fume about how counting immigrants on the Census, as the Constitution requires, is stealing congressional representation from states with low immigration rates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No conspiracy theory presented a more challenging balancing act for Vance than Epstein. Vance campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, only for Trump to try to cover them up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people seem to think [Epstein] was Mossad,\u201d Rogan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Vance replied, \u201cMossad or CIA or some other deep state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Epstein was indeed a close friend of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak (who has not been implicated in any crimes and now says he regrets their association).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If Epstein were a potential Israeli spy, however, you might think that the Trump Justice Department would have been more interested in finding out how he might have compromised high-level American officials, corporate leaders and celebrities. But apparently not. Vance did not elaborate on the reasons for this apparent disconnect, though he assured the audience, \u201cI\u2019ve asked were there, like, were there documents connecting Jeffrey Epstein directly to our intelligence agencies or anybody else\u2019s? And the answer is, \u2018No, but if that existed, it wouldn\u2019t exist in 2026.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The job of vice president may be fake, but the benefits are real. MS NOW\u2019s Carol Leonig and Vaughn Hillyard recently revealed that Vance\u2019s Secret Service detail is \u201cfed up\u201d with the travel demands of Vance and his family. Had it not been for a thunderstorm, the Secret Service would have ferried Vance and his son to his son\u2019s golf lesson by helicopter.. Vance should probably enjoy the perks of office while he can. He\u2019s not delivering for the conspiracist base that he hopes will preserve his political longevity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
