JD Vance Recalls Chilling Text His Wife Sent Him At Dinner With CEOs

Vice President JD Vance disclosed the specifics of an odd exchange with a multibillionaire technology CEO.

In a speech at the American Dynamism Summit, Vance described how he and his wife, Usha Vance, discussed the societal concerns of replacing workers with artificial intelligence during a dinner event they hosted in 2017 with a prominent group of Silicon Valley business leaders.

Vance recalled that one of the rich CEOs assured him that he was not concerned about job loss, claiming that ‘digital fully immersive gaming’ would give people a new sense of purpose, the Daily Mail reported.

“You would know his name if I mentioned it, he was the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company,” Vance said, without revealing the identity of the person who made the comment.

“My wife texted me under the table and said, ‘We have to get the hell out of here, these people are f-ing crazy,’” he continued.

Vance delivered strong support for President Trump’s trade policies this week, arguing that it will have a positive impact on the United States long term.

While delivering remarks at the American Dynamism Summit, the vice president excoriated the entire premise behind globalism and eliminating manufacturing jobs in America.

“But first, President Trump is starting with and is dead serious about rearranging our trade and tariff regime internationally. It must happen. We believe that tariffs are a necessary tool to protect our jobs and our industries from other countries, as well as the labor value of our workers in a globalized market. In fact, combined with the right technology, they allow us to bring jobs back to the United States of America and create the jobs of the future,” Vance declared.

“Just look in the past few months at the auto industry as an important example. When you erect a tariff wall around a critical industry like auto manufacturing, and you combine that with advanced robotics and lower energy costs and other tools that increase the productivity of you as labor, you give American workers a multiplying effect. Now that, in turn, allows firms to make things here at a price-competitive basis,” Vance added.
