Vice President JD Vance, in a Christian-focused podcast conversation, says he would not be “shocked” if the United States and the world are living in the “end times,” adding that he thinks the Antichrist “could” be among people. In the discussion, he frames his remarks around his spiritual outlook and how modern developments may fit into apocalyptic beliefs.

The outlets describe the same episode, in which Vance also discusses artificial intelligence and expresses concern about its risks. NBC News emphasizes his warning about AI dangers alongside the “end times” comments. The Independent additionally notes that during the same appearance Vance defends President Donald Trump’s earlier social media post presenting an “AI Jesus,” linking the faith discussion to current political messaging.

Across the reports, the core points match: Vance makes end-times and Antichrist remarks during a faith podcast and pairs them with warnings about AI.
