Vance jokes 'It's not the president' after checking text message mid-speech

Keep the pro-fraud party out of Washington. Keep these guys fighting for you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It's an honor to be here. Now, I'm going to take some questions here, but it's funny, you know, sometimes people call. I got to make sure it's not the president. He's over at NATO right now. Okay, it's not the president, but let me start with the local reporters here and go ahead, guys, and fire away. I'm an open book. I'll answer any question. Mr. Vice President, welcome to Milwaukee. Welcome to Wisconsin. Welcome back. I'm Julia Fellow with 620 WTMJ. You've been overseas. The president is just coming back from Turkey, memorandum of understanding. We're looking at gas prices, what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz. The president was saying that he was going to strike tonight, like now. So can you tell us what is going on right now? Where are we with the war on Iran? Yeah, so look, we made a deal with the Iranians and we had to step back a little bit. Before you even get to the deal, the simple fact is that thanks to the incredible efforts of our amazing U.S. military, to Pete Hexeth and Dan Cain, the president of the United States, just amazing people.
