EXCLUSIVE: JD Vance gives update on Iran

KAYLEIGH: IT'S "SATURDAY IN. AMERICA," I'M KAYLEIGH. McENANY, AND IN MOMENTS, YOU. WILLLL HEAR MY EXCLUSIVE INTERVW. WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE. UNITED STATES, J.D. VANCE. IT WAS WIDE-RANGING, WE SPOKE. ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM TRUMP'S. EFFORTS TO FINALLY PUT AN END TO. THE IRAN WAR TO THE. ADMINISTRATION WHICH IS NOW. CALLING FOR CONGRESS TO DO ITS. PART IN PROTECTING TAXPAYER. DOLLARS, YOUR MONEY, FROM BEING. STOLEN BY FRAUDSTERS. THE VICE PRESIDENT ALSO. RESPONDED DIRECTLY TO THE. COMMENT THAT WAS MADE ABOUT HIM.

BY THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE. CANDIDATE FROM MICHIGAN, ABDUL. EL-SAYED. IT WAS PRETTY PERSONAL. AND THE VICE PRESIDENT'S NEW. BOOK, "COMMUNION," WHICH DETAILS. HIS JOURNEY FROM ATHEISM BACK TO. CHRISTIANITY. NOW, HI INTERVIEW WITH THE VICE. PRESIDENT. VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE, THANK. YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME. I APPRECIATE IT. >> GOOD MORNING. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. KAYLEIGH: OF COURSE. I'M GOING TO GET TO YOUR. EXTRAORDINARY BOOK HERE IN A. MOMENT. I READ IT. I'M VERY TAKEN WITH THE STORIES.

AND FASCINATED BY IT, BUT I DO. WANT TO START WITH SOME NEWS OF. THE DAY. THERE'S BIG NEWS THAT YOU WERE. IN THE SENATE THIS WEEK. IRAN DOMINATED THE CONVERSATION, SO I WAS HOPING YOU COULD GIVE. US A READOUT OF THAT MEETING. >> YEAH. WELL, YOU KNOW, I LOVE TO O GO D. HANG OUT WITH SOME OF MY OLD GOP. COLLEAGUES IN THE UNITED STATES. SENATE, GREAT GUYS, PEOPLE. TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY. THE COUNTRY. WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET. RECONCILIATION REGISTRATION THAT. WE'RE WORKING ON -- LEGISLATION. OBVIOUSLY, THE PRESIDENT'S. PRIORITY RIGHT NOW IS TO GET THE.

SAVE AMERICA ACT PASSED. I THINK IT'S ABSURD THAT WE'RE. THE MOST ADVANCED DEMOCRACY IN. THE ENTIRE WORLD AND YET WE. DON'T HAVE VOTER ID. THAT HAS TO CHANGE. WE, OF COURSE, TALKED A LOT. ABOUT IRAN AND WHERE IRAN IS. TODAY, KAYLEIGH, IS THAT WE'RE. TALKING TO THE IRANIANS, OF. COURSE. WE'RE TRYING TO MAXIMIZE THE. AMOUNT OF OIL AND GAS THAT ARE. COMING OUT OF THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ. THAT'S THE THING THAT WE'RE MOST. FOCUSED ON RIGHT NOW. YOU SEE, I THINK, OIL PRICES. DIPPING AROUND $80 A BARREL. TODAY, SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT. LOWER. SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE.

SURE WE GET WHAT WE NEED OUT OF. THIS PARTICULAR CONFLICT. IF YOU GO BACK AND REMEMBER WHAT. IT IS THAT WE'VE DONE HERE, WE'VE DESTROYED THEIR NUCLEAR. PROGRAM, WE'VE DESTROYED THEIR. CONVENTIONAL MILITARY, WE'VE. RADICALLY REDUCED WHAT YOU MIGHT. CALL THEIR ASYMMETRIC MILITARY. ABILITIES, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE. TRYING TO SEE IF THEY'RE WILLING. TO MAKE THE KIND OF LONG-TERM. CHANGES THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY. TO HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP. WITH THE UNITED STATES. AND IF NOT, THAT'S FINE TOO. WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP ON. APPLYING THE PRESSURE THAT WE. CAN AMY AND GETTING AS MUCH OIL.

AND GAS -- CAN APPLY -- AND. GETTING AS MUCH OIL AND GAS WE. CAN GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST. THAT'S THE DELL -- DELICATE. DANCE. I TRY TO REMIND PEOPLE WE'RE. REALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. HERE. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME, AND WE'RE APPLYING A WHOLE HOST. OF TOOLS, KIP LOMATIC, ECONOMIC -- DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC, MILITARY TOOLS. I FEEL QUITE CONFIDENT, BUT. WE'RE STILL A BIT IN THE MIDDLE. OF THE GAME. RAY RAY I. KAYLEIGH: AND THE IRANIANS HAVE.

BROADCASTED THAT THEY LOOK TO. TIGHTEN THEIR GRIP ON THE STRAIT. OF HORMUZ. SO IN A THEORETICAL DEAL, WHAT. WOULD AN ACCEPTABLE STATUS QUO. BE FOR THE SLATE? >> WELL, OUR EXPECTATION IS. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE SAME. AMOUNT OF OIL AND GAS COME OUT. OF THE GULF THAT YOU SAW BEFORE. THE CONFLICT STARTED. THAT'S TO WHAT THE ENTIRE GULF. COALITION WANTS TO DO AS WELL. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T TRUST, WE VERIFY. WE ACTUALLY LOOK NOT AT PEOPLE'S. WORDS, BUT AT PEOPLE'S DEEDS. YOU SEE SOME PEOPLE WITHIN THEHE.

IRANIAN SYSTEM, OF COURSE, TALK. ABOUT TOLLING THE IRANIANS. THEY'VE TOLD US THEY HAVE NO. PLANS TO TOLL THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE GOING. TO SEE WHAT ACTIONS ACTUALLY. HAPPEN. WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE. PAST WEEK IS THAT THE IRANIANS. AND THE GULF COUNTRIES, PARTICULARLY TO OMAN, HAVE BEEN. TALKINING ABOUT HOW TO ENSURE TE. SAFE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE ONE PROBLEM THAT THE. IRANIANS LAID A LARGE NUMBER OF. MINES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE. WAR, AND WE'RE REALLY WORKING. THROUGH HOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY SET. UP A TRAFFIC SCHEME SO THAT THE. SHIPS THAT PASS CAN PASS THROUGH.

SAFELY. THAT INCLUDES, OF COURSE, DEMINING. THAT ALSO INCLUDES COMMITMENT. FROM THE IRANIANS THAT THEY'RE. NOT GOING TO FIRE AT COMMERCIAL. VESSELS. THEY'RE HURT ANYTHING A BIG WAY. THEY WANT THIS THING TO BE OVER. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THEY'RE. ABLE, THEIR SYSTEM IS ABLE TO. GIVE THE THINGS THAT ARE. NECESSARY FOR US TO BE HAPPY, FOR US TO FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN. WHAT WE NEED OUT OF THIS. PARTICULAR ENGAGEMENT. THAT IS STILL TO BE THE. DETERMINED. BUT I DO THINK WE'VE MADE. PROGRESS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. KAYLEIGH: SO TO DOMESTIC.

POLITICS. YOU HAD SOME POLICY CREATE. SEEKS -- CRITIQUES, VERY FAIR. ONES, OF ABDUL EL-SAYED. HERE'S HOW HE RESPONDED. >> IS THAT PETER THIEL'S BOY. WITH THAT OHIO CHARISMA HE'S. GOT? THAT GUY. I THINK WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF. THEM. -- HIM. THE LAST THING THAT HE SAID THAT. MADE ANY SENSE WAS IN "HILLBILLY. ELEGY.". THEN HE DECIDED TO SUCK UP THE. POWER. KAYLEIGH: WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE? >> WELL, LOOK, I DON'T PAY THAT.

GUY MUCH MIND. THE PROBLEM WITH EL-SAYED IS. THAT HE IS A PERSON WHO CLAIMS. TO STAND FOR WORKING PEOPLE, AND. YET HE OPPOSED DONALD TRUMP'S. POPOLICIES THAT HAVE QUITE. LITERALLY SAVED THE MICHIGAN. AUTO INDUSTRY. THIS IS NOT A GUY WHO WANTS A. PROSPEROUS ECONOMY WHERE. AUTOWORKERS AND EVERYBODY ELSE. CAN ACTUALLY RAISE A FAMILY. IDEALLY ON A SINGLE WAGE IF THEY. SO CHOOSE. WHAT HE IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO. BUILD IS AN ECONOMY WHERE YOU. TAX SOME PEOPLE, YOU GIVE IT TO. DEMOCRATIC PARTY-FAVORED.

INTEREST GROUPS, AND THAT'S NOT. HOW YOU CREATE PROSPERITY. REBUILDING THE INDUSTRIAL. FOUNDATION OF MIDDLE CLASS. PROSPERITY IS HOW YOU DO IT. HE'S ALSO GONE AFTER MY KIDS. HE'S JUST KIND OF AN ODD GUY, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S TELLING. THAT INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT. WHAT HE WANTS TO DO TO MAKE THE. LIVES OF GANDERS BETTER, HE THAS. PERSONAL INSULTS AT ME. I THINK HE'D BE A TETERRIBLE.

SENATOR FOR THE PEOPLE OF. MICHIGAN. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT CASE. AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE PEOPLE OF. MICHIGAN ARE GOING TO MAKE THEIR. VOTE. KAYLEIGH: AND ONE THING THAT YOU. CERTAINLY DO TALK ABOUT IS. FRAUD. I WATCHED THE ROUND TABLE, THE. TASK FORCE WITH GREAT INTEREST. THIS WEEK. YOU LAID OUT A THREE-PART PLAN. FOR CONGRESS TO HEHELP OUT WITH. THIS, AND ONE OF THE INTERESTING. POINTS WAS DATA SHARING AND. FORCING DEMOCRATIC STATES TO. SHARE THEIR DATA WITH YOU. I'M CURIOUS WHY YOU WOULD NEED. LEGISLATION TO FORCE DEMOCRATS. TO COMBAT FRAUD. I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD.

WILLINGLY TURN THIS INFORMATION. OVER TO YOU. >> YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD THINK SO, KAYLEIGH, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, TOO MUCH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BOSS RUNS ON THE MONEY THAT. COMES FROM FRAUD, THE NGO. NETWORK, THE POLITICAL PARTIES, SOME OF THE NONPROFIT. ORGANIZATIONS IN THESE BLUE. STATES, THEY ACTUALLY DEPEND ON. THE FRAUD TO FUND THEIR. OPERATIONS. AND TO EXPLAIN THIS A LITTLE BIT. TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, KAYLEIGH, THE CRAZIEST THING --. I WAS LITERALLY SHOCKED BY THE. FIRST TIME THAT I REALIZED WHEN. WE SEND, FOR EXAMPLE, $8 BILLION.

TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO. RUN THEIR FOOD STAMP PROGRAM, THEY DON'T EVEN VERIFY. ELIGIBILITY. YOU COULD HAVE ILLEGAL ALIENS ON. THATAT PROGRAM. WE HAVE NO SENSE OF THE FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT, WE SEND THEM $8. BILLION, IT GOES OUT THE DOOR, AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF CONFIRMING. WHETHER THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IS ACTUALLY SPENDING THAT ON. NEEDY AMERICANS BECAUSE, OF. COURSE, WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. WHO CAN'T AFFORD A BITE TO EAT. BUT THE PROGRAM IS NOT THERE FOR. IF ILLEGAL ALIENS OR FRAUDSTERS. AND WHAT CALIFORNIA AND SO MANY.

BLUE STATES HAVE DONE IS REALLY. TURN DOWN THE ELIGIBILITY. REQUIREMENTS, TURN DOWN THE. VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, AND. WE UNFORTUNATELY ARE JUST GOING. TO HAVE TO FORCE THEM INTO SOME. BASIC STUFF, THINGS LIKE. CHECKING WHEN SOMEBODY SIGNS UP. FOR FOOD STAMPS. ARE THEY IN THIS COUNTRY. LEGALLY? DO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE PROPER. PHOTO IDENTIFICATION? HAVE THEY COMMITTED A TERRIBLE. FELONY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF. YEARS? BASIC ELIGIBILITY CHECKS THAT SO. MANY BLUE STATES ARE NOT DOING. SO WE'RE TO GOING TO HAVE TO. FORCE THEM TO DO THAT, AND.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE. TALKED ABOUT WITH OUR. CONGRESSIONAL COLLEAGUES IS JUST. IS FORCING SOME OF THESE BLUE. STATES TO SHARE THE DATA. I WILL SAY, KAYLEIGH, IN THE. DEFENSE OF SOME BLUE STATES, SOME DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN WILLING. TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE THEY. RECOGNIZE FIGHTING FRAUD SHOULD. BE A BIPARTISAN ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU'VE GOT THE. CALIFORNIAS AND THE NEW YORKS OF. THE WORLD WHO SEEM TO WANT THEIR. STATES TO BE DEFRAUDED BY THE. FRAUDSTERS, BUT WE CAN'T LET. THAT HAPPEN. IT'S GONE ON FOR TOO LONG, AND. THE PRESIDENT HAS ASKED US TO. STOP IT, WE'RE FINALLY TAKING IT.

SERIOUSLY. KAY I KAY HAVE ANY SENATE. DEMOCRATS CALLED AND SAID CAN WE. HELP WITH THESE PRIORITIES IN. >> I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH, KAYLEIGH. [LAUGHTER]. WHEN YOU'VE HAD THEM WORK WITH. US, IT'S LOCAL AND STATE. OFFICIALS. SOME ATTORNEYS GENERALS WHOSE. JOB IT IS TO ARE PROSECUTE THE. FRAUD, AND SO THEY REALIZE HOW. TERRIBLE THE PROBLEM IS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, KAYLEIGH, THIS IS THE STORY OF THE. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. LEADERSHIP. THEY WON'T DO THE THINGS THAT. EVEN THEIR OWN VOTERS WANT THEM.

TO DO. I MEAN, YOU ASKED ABOUT FRAUD. I THINK ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS. FRAUDS IN OUR COUNTRY IS VOTER. FRAUD. 80% OF DEMOCRATS WOULD LOVE TO. SEE VOTER ID, BUT WE CAN'T GET A. SINGLE DEMOCRAT TO HELP US WITH. THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. I DON'T THINK, UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TOO MANY. SENATE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE TRYING. TO STOP THE FRAUD. IT'S A SHAME, BECAUSE I'D TO. LOVE TO O WORK FOR THEM. KAYLEIGH: WELL, TO YOUR. EXTRAORDINARY BOOK, "COMMUNION.". I LOVED READING THIS. YOUR UPBRINGING REMINDED ME OF.

MINE. I WAS EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN. I READ C.S. LEWIS, I WENT TO. YOUNG LIFE. THESE WERE ALL THINGS THAT WERE. A PART OF MY L LIFE AND YOURS. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS TURN TO. ATHEISM FOR A FEW YEARS, AND I'M. WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL HE. HOW THAT HAPPENED. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK A COUPLE. THINGS HAPPENED, KAYLEIGH. FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE I DID HAVE. SOME FOUNDATION IN MY FAITH, BUT. IT WASN'T REALLY CONNECTED TO A. PARTICULAR CHURCH OR A. PARTICULAR INSTITUTION, IT WAS. CONNECTED TO MY GRANDMOTHER. SHE WAS THE PERSON WHO READ THE. BIBLE TO ME, SHE WAS THE PERSON.

THAT I TALKED TO GOD ABOUT. SO WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY SHORTLY. BEFORE I LEFT FOR IRAQ IN 2005, I JUST LOST THAT CONNECTION TO. MY FAITH. AND WITHOUT BEING PROPERLY. ROOTED, I LOST MY FAITH. ALTOGETHER. AND I THINK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, KAYLEIGH, IS THAT I REALIZED, I. WENT THROUGH WHAT I WOULD CALL. AN ARROGANT ATHEIST PHASE WHERE. I DIDN'T JUST NOT BELIEVE IN. GOD, BUT I SORT OF THOUGHT I. KNEW BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE. WHO DID IS I REALIZED THAT. WASN'T MAKING ME A GOOD PERSON. IT WAS MAKING ME WORRIED ABOUT.

WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL, HOW MUCH. MONEY I WENT AND ALL THESE. WORLDLY PURSUITS THAT WERE. MAKING ME VERY SUCCESSFUL. I WAS GETTING GOOD JOBS, GOING. TO GOOD SCHOOLS, BUT THEY. WEREN'T MAKING ME A GOOD HUMAN. BEING. AND THE MORE I THOUGHT ABOUT. WHAT IS IT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES A. PERSON GOOD AND VIRTUOUS, WHAT. ARE THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY. MATTER, THE MORE I REALIZED THAT. THESE CHRISTIANS THAT I'D KIND. OF DISMISSED FOR A PERIOD OF MY. LIFE, THEY ACTUALLY HAD THEIR. ACT TOGETHER. AND IF THEY HAD THEIR ACT. TOGETHER, MAYBE IT WAS ROOTED IN. SOME TRUTH ABOUT THE DIVINITY OF.

JESUS CHRIST, ABOUT THE FACT. THAT HE CAME AND DIED FOR US. SO I STARTED TO BE CURIOUS IN. CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE I SAW THE. TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY REFLECTED. IN A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND ME. KAYLEIGH: YEAH. AND THE WAY YOU TRIBE THIS, I. THOUGHT IT WAS SO INTERESTING --. DESCRIBE THIS, BECAUSE IT WAS. NOT THIS E BY TY OF, WOW, ATHEISTS ARE CORRECT. INTELLECTUALLY, YOU DESCRIBE IT. AS HAVING A ROUTINE CHRISTIAN. EXISTENCE REPLACED BY SOMETHING. DIFFERENT. I'M CURIOUS IF YOUR RETURN TO.

CHRISTIANITY, TO CATHOLICISM, WAS THAT INCREMENTAL, OR WAS. THERE AN AHA MOMENT? >> IT WAS VERY INCREMENTAL. I'VE NEVER HAD AN EPIPHANY, KAYLEIGH, THOUGH I'VE CERTAINLY. HAD THESE MOMENTS WHERE I FELT. PRESENCE OF GOD. I TALK, FOR EXAMPLE, ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, MOMENT THAT I HAD AT A. CONFERENCE WHERE A FRIEND AND I. WERE TALKING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY. AND TALKING ABOUT CATHOLICISM, AND THERE WAS THIS MOMENT WHERE. A GLASS FELL OFF THE WALL AT THE.

POINT OF OUR CONVERSATION WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK AN ATHEIST. WOULD DISMISS THAT AS, OH, WHO. CARES. BUT AT THAT MOMENT IT FELT LIKE. GOD WAS TRYING TO SEND ME A. MESSAGE. YOU HAVE THESE LITTLE MOMENTS. LIKE THIS, BUT I NEVER HAD AN. EPIPHANY. WHAT I DID WAS HAVE THE SLOW. REALIZATION THAT CROIX CHANTY. WAS TRUE, AND IT --. CHRISTIANITY, AND IT REALLY --. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALL IMPERFECT. PEOPLE, BUT OTHERS HAD THEIR ACT. TOGETHER AND WERE FOCUSED ON THE. THINGS THAT REALLY MATTERED.

I DIDN'T CARE AND, FRANKLY, MY. WIFE DIDN'T CARE WHETHER I WAS. SUPER SUCCESSFUL, WHETHER I. BECAME THE VICE PRESIDENT, A. BEST SELLING AUTHOR, SHE JUST. WANTED ME TO BE A GOOD MAN, AND. I WANTED TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND. AND FATHER. AND I FELT LIKE CHRISTIANITY. ANSWERED THAT YEARNING BETTER. THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT I SAW IN. THE WORLD. AND THAT REALLY IS WHAT LED ME. BACK, BUT IT WAS A SLOW, SLOW. PROCESS. KAYLEIGH: YEAH. NO DOUBT CHRISTIANTY HOLDS THE. ANSWER. THERE HAVE ALSO ANOTHER MOMENT I. WAS IT IS A MAY NOTED BY, AND IT.

WAS A CAR INNOCENT. YOU WERE DRIVING BACK FROM YOUR. GRANDMA'S FUNERAL AND YOU ALMOST. GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT, BUT YOU. DIDN'T. I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD SHARE. THAT STORY AND ANSWER IF YOU. THOUGHT THAT WAS SUPERNATURAL. >> YEAH. SO I DEFINITELY DO THINK IT WAS. SUPERNATURAL. I TALK ABOUT, YOYOU KNOW, THIS. QUOTE FROM THE MOVIE PULP. FICTION THAT WHAT MATTERS IS NOT. WHETHER IT'S A, QUOTE-UNQUOTE, MIRACLE, WHAT MATTERS IS YOU. FEEL THE TOUCH OF GOD.

I WAS DRIVING BACK TO MY MARINE. CORPS BASE IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND I WAS ON ONE OF THESE SORT. OF NARROW MOUNTAIN, BACK COUNTRY. ROADS. I CAME AROUND THE CORNER, I. GUESS IT HAD BEEN RAINING, I WAS. GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST. AND THERE WAS ONE OF THESE. MOMENTS WHERE THE CAR IS. SPINNING, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN. IT'S GOING TO STOP, AND IF IT. DOESN'T STOP IS, YOU'RE GOING TO. TUMBLE OVER THE MOUNTAIN. BUT THE CAR CAME TO THIS. PERFECTLY GENTLE STOP RIGHT AS I. WAS ABOUT TO, LIKE, FALL OVER. THE MOUNTAIN. AND AGAIN, LIKE, MAYBE THE LAWS.

OF PHYSICS COULD EXPLAIN WHAT. HAPPENED, BUT IN THAT MOMENT I. FELT THE TOUCH OF GOD. AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, MY. OWN ATTITUDE ON THIS, DAY. LEIGH -- KAYLEIGH, IS THAT GOD. IS ALWAYS SENDING US THESE. LITTLE MESSAGES. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WITH A. MEGAPHONE, IT DOESN'T SMACK YOU. ACROSS THE FACE, BUT THERE ARE. ALL OF THESE SUBTLE MOMENTS. WHERE I THINK GOD TRIES TO SPEAK. TO US. THAT WAS CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE. MOMENTS FOR ME. KAYLEIGH: WELL, IT'S A GREAT. BOOK. VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE, THANK.

YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANKS, KAYLEIGH. TAKE CARE. KAYLEIGH: READ ABOUT THE VICE. PRESIDENT'S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY IN. HIS NEW BOOK, "COMMUNION: FINDING MY WAY BACK TO FAITH,". STILL ON THE NEW YORK TIMES'. BESTSELLER LIST. >>> AND NEXT, DR. ANTHONY FAUCI. MIGHT HAVE REMAINED SILENT. BEFORE CHRISTMAS, BUT --. CONGRESS, BUT I OBSERVED HIM. FIRSTHAND IN THE SITUATION ROOM. A.
