Ron Howard Brought JD Vance's Life Story To the Screen - Now He's Attacking Him, with Adam Carolla

so enter Ron Howard who I'm so disappointed in little Opie so he made the movie JD Vance Hill Metallica song ever enter Ron Howard he made he made the movie hillboy A couple of years ago based on JD Vance's bestselling book and good for him for making the movie even though at that point we knew that JD Vance you know seemed to be more Republican leaning but more of a trump Whisperer at that point who could explain the white working class as opposed to you know it's fine to be a republican as long as you're never Trump Republican um and so he makes this movie about him and just like Glen CL who felt the need to take a shot at JD Vance rather than just keeping her pie hole shut oh yeah she played the mom she played the m m the mama who changed his life and so Ron Howard is asked about this new evil JD Vance and whether he regrets making this film and instead of taking the high road at him you know like I stand by the storytelling it was a great American story and I'm not going to weigh in beyond that that's for the voters to decide he goes full low road watch I have been uh surprised and uh you know and and concerned by a lot of the rhetoric um you know coming out of that campaign G given the experience that I had then five six years ago uh yeah I'd say that I've that I've been um that I've been you know surprised listen to what the candidates are saying today that's what's really relevant it's who they are today and make a make a decision an informed one but then he added more he gave an interview to deadline and he said here's the question by the way from deadline you made an underdog story about a poor young man from a dysfunctional family with a grandmother who would not let him fail he has evolved from that young man into a polarizing volatile conservative nice nice objective question deadline I'm sure people have said to you R what have you Unleashed how do you process that blah blah blah blah blah I'm very surprised and disappointed by much of the rhetoric I'm reading and hearing people do change and I assume that's the case so he's surprised disappointed at the rhetoric and he's concerned about it and really wants people to listen to what they're saying and then vote accordingly um none of that on the kala haris side none of that when they called him a Hitler none of that against the con complaints that he's a misogynist to actually in this case give the other side and say you know what I know he said some things that are controversial but I the man I came to know was raised by strong women who changed his life and I have to believe they had a longlasting effect on this man yeah well it's interesting when you think about a guy like Ron Howard because he'll say things I've heard coming out of their campaign things you read on on variety and USA Today and LA Times and New York Times like there are people in my life who I talked to all the time they legitimately have no idea about what the story with the true comments you know good people on both sides or whatever they have no inject bleach you know well you said inject bleach I read 10 articles that said in why should I hire you know why do I want to vote for a guy said inject bleach or that you know all Muslims were terrorists or something like yeah yeah he said I read he said he was going to be a dictator bloodbath on the I think first day's dictator second day's bloodbath but either way like why would I so to be fair to Ron Howard he may just be reading this stuff in the places he gets his information which could be the LA Times in which case he would think that that's what they're doing you know they needs to cast a wider net JD Vance said school shootings were a good thing and he hopes there's more of them oh man well I wouldn't vote for that guy he swims in a swimming pool with a shirt on I'm not voting for him uh so Ron is probably in the bubble the bubble gets their info from within the bubble and many of them legitimately do not have any idea what is going on outside of that group and when they get their information from CNN but it could be ABC or NBC it doesn't have to be you know MSNBC they get their version of he said school shootings were a nice thing and then they believe it and then they form their opinions now what is kind of on them is everyone needs to be a little more dubious you know what I mean like when you hear that headline this point you know the the media is lying to you about Trump you must know this yeah and it's it's it's a little bit of a two-way street you'll see conservative things come out that says you know uh Tim Walls said the Holocaust was a good thing you know and I go probably said something about the Holocaust but I don't think he the right media doesn't do it nearly as much and the left that's what they do that's that's their thing is twisting twisting stuff but as a person that consumes information and then has to report it you know on the air you have to kind of put on your hat that that's has a big question mark on it and kind of go let me look into this a little more like even if it look if JD Vance thought school shootings were good why would he say that into a microphone in front of a crowd like that that's something he wouldn't do it even if he thought that so let me let me go back and watch the tape and they don't do it the um number of flipflops that she's done I think the left has heard about these they just don't care they they like the original positions they believe her that her values haven't changed they know she's got to say they've changed in order to win this election and over the weekend one of her campaign spokes people came out and really put a new spin on it but I think it was a fine spin for the left they'll go along with this this is Ian Sams uh on Thursday actually it was on CNN take a listen aat 2 she's been part of the Biden Administration I mean she has been part of the democratic Democrats have been control of the country for the last three going on four years and you are still seeing this in the polling I mean these working-class voters are telling us right now that more of them are with Donald Trump than KLA Harris why what is it about what you guys have been doing for the last three plus years uh that explains that well I think again we're trying to talk to the voters and explain this message we've got 60 days until the election uh you know we don't have time to sit around and think about why over the last few years certain things may have happened or may not have happened you don't now probably his wallet looks pretty good his trips to the grocery store are not stressful and this is one of her top people saying we really don't have time to think about why what happened over the past three and a half years happened just vote KLA Harris you didn't vote for this economic downturn and the high inflation but you could pay for it at the pump the grocery store and with growing stacks of unpaid bills Financial
