Regarding transgender rights, Vance strongly opposed the idea of ​​athletes competing on teams that matched their gender identity, and said he worried that one day his own daughter would be “beaten to death because “We allow a six-foot tall man to compete with her in sports.”

“If you’re a middle- or upper-middle-class white parent, and all you care about is whether your child gets into Harvard or Yale, obviously that path has become much more difficult. for a lot of upper-middle-class kids,” Vance told Rogan. “But the only way those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is by being trans.”

“The moment I really started to rethink the whole vaccine thing was that the sickest I had been in the last 15 years, by far, was when I took the vaccine,” Vance said. “I’ve had Covid at this point five times, I was in bed for two days, my heart was racing.”

He added: “The fact that I was sicker than ever was two days, and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection. “I’m really not willing to change that.”

At one point, Vance attempted to make a connection between one’s politics and his testosterone level:

“Well, have you seen all these studies that basically connect testosterone levels in young men to conservative politics? So maybe that’s what’s happening… Maybe that’s why Democrats want us all to be unhealthy and overweight, because that means we’re going to be… no, it means we’re going to be more liberal. good? “If you make people less healthy, they apparently become more politically liberal.”

Vance also joked that he wanted to date hunter bidensaying he would bet money that he and President Biden voted for Trump:

“The only thing I think we Republicans have really gotten wrong in recent years is the anti-Hunter Biden thing. I want to date Hunter Biden! I mean, I may be the only Republican. “That guy knows how to have a good time.”
