The 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has been an electrifying gathering for conservatives, with many notable figures making waves, including Vice President JD Vance. Vance took the stage to deliver some robust commentary on masculinity, addressing the absurdity of a culture that tries to shame men for simply being men. His words not only echoed the sentiments of many conservatives but also highlighted the agenda of the Trump administration, emphasizing the importance of remaining strong in the face of cultural challenges.
In a moment that certainly raised eyebrows and elicited laughter, Vance cleverly jabbed at CNN when discussing the administration’s many achievements. He remarked that the number of executive orders issued by Trump far surpassed the network’s dwindling viewership. This witty comment shines a spotlight on CNN’s continuous struggle to attract audiences, a trend that seems unshakeable as public trust in the once-revered news outlet evaporates by the day.
🚨🔥JD Vance just BRUTALIZED Fake News CNN at CPAC:
“We've had maybe more executive orders than CNN has viewers."
“That’s maybe the one thing I think the president has been unable to do — unable to save CNN's ratings over the last few months."
He’s so good at this.

The mention of CNN’s ratings is not just a punchline; it reflects a broader truth about the media landscape. With record low viewership numbers, both sides of the political aisle seem to agree that CNN’s obsession with anti-Trump narratives has backfired spectacularly. Vance pointed out that the network’s strategy to resurrect its relevance by maligning the Trump administration isn’t yielding the desired results, indicating that even relentless criticism cannot boost their dismal ratings.
Vance didn’t stop there; he provided a compelling overview of the administration’s accomplishments. With border crossings reportedly down by over 90 percent, he declared that the Trump team is just getting started on tackling the immigration crisis. He also advocated for a return to a thriving economy, cheekily echoing the sentiments of “drill, baby, drill,” while proposing that taxpayer money should be spent on priorities that matter to the American public, rather than on obscure or unpopular government projects.
In a world where many politicians engage in verbose rhetoric lacking substance, Vance stands out as a breath of fresh air. His straightforwardness and clarity when addressing prominent issues resonate deeply with the electorate. He not only articulates plans for border control and economic revitalization but also insists on transparency concerning taxpayer spending. His performance at CPAC underscores not just his political acumen but also positions him as a rising star in the GOP, possibly eyeing the White House in 2028. Competence, it seems, is back in style, and Vance is leading the charge, much to the dismay of outlets like CNN that can no longer keep pace.
