JD Vance Revealed Secret Service Names for His Kids in Podcast Interview
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Vice President JD Vance revealed the code names that the Secret Service uses to protect his family, including the handles for his three children, on a podcast released Monday. During the first episode of Katie Miller's eponymous show—titled The Katie Miller Podcast—the pair mostly discussed juggling parenthood and the vice presidency. Miller served as communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence and is also married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. Teasers for the podcast show Vance saying the names but the audio is muted. However, he said that they start with the letter B, one is a name of a dinosaur and that there are individual "theme songs." When reached by email, the White House referred Newsweek to Vance's team. A spokesperson for Vance then told Newsweek there was no further comment. Why It Matters Vance's disclosure of details about the Secret Service code names used for his kids underscores how family anecdotes from high-profile figures can quickly spread in news cycles, raising security and privacy questions for families who receive Secret Service protection. What To Know During his interview with Katie Miller, Vance spoke at length about parenting anecdotes that included his children's fanciful statements and how the family treated Secret Service code names as a source of amusement. "Mirabel is [redacted]. They all chose them," Vance said, naming each child and their code name. "Vivek is [redacted] because he's very high energy. And Ewan is [redacted], which is a kind of dinosaur I didn't even realize," he added. Vance and his wife Usha have three children, Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3.

"And then she also has a song called, like, blast off another rocket ship run. So, their Secret Service code names actually have their own theme song, which they're really excited about." Usha Vance previously said, "We have code names now. Our kids had a lot of fun with that," Today reported in January. The vice president also told Miller during the podcast that his children don't quite understand what he does, although they do know he is on television a lot. "We don't try to bring our kids into the public eye, but we also don't avoid it," Vance said. "We just try to have a normal life as much as we possibly can." What People Are Saying Elon Musk posted to X, formerly Twitter, a reply to a clip of the podcast: "JD is a good guy through and through." Donald Trump Jr. posted the clip on X, saying: "Really fun interview with @KatieMiller and @JDVance." What Happens Next It is unclear if the code names will be changed by the Secret Service following the interview. While the names were not heard, the letters and themes could give away the children's titles and prompt additional security protocols.

Former DOGE adviser Katie Miller launches new podcast aimed at busy moms
Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, and formerly an adviser to Elon Musk's DOGE, announced on Thursday that she was launching a new podcast called "The Katie Miller Podcast." Miller wrote in her announcement on X that there wasn't a podcast for women like herself. "Because for years, I've seen that there isn't a place for conservative women to gather online. There isn't a place for a mom like me, mom of three young kids, four, three, and almost two, and a wife, and trying to do a career, eat healthy, work out," she said in the video. "I wanted to create that space." Miller said she hoped to have conversations with people across the political spectrum. "I wanted to create that space where we have real honest conversations with people across the political spectrum and across the world to get lifestyle information, news, laugh with our friends, gossip about what's going on in the world from our perspective, from that of a mom with three kids who's trying to make every day be the best we can, from bedtime to bath time to breakfast in the morning to getting out the door for work and everything in between," she said. Miller previously worked for former Vice President Mike Pence and most recently worked as an adviser and spokesperson for DOGE. Miller left the Trump administration alongside Musk to work in the private sector, Axios reported. "I hope Elon is a listener to the podcast and I hope to have him as a guest one day," she told Axios. Miller's first guests on the podcast include Vice President JD Vance, boxing legend Mike Tyson and ex-ESPN host Sage Steele, she told Axios. The former DOGE adviser also told Axios that her husband was "incredibly supportive" of her new venture. The show will release new episodes on Mondays. "We're going to do this once a week on Mondays to talk about lifestyle, what's going on, real honest conversations, none of the bulls---. With people from across the spectrum, whether that be politicians, business leaders, celebrities, musicians, artists, scientists, you name it, we're going to have it," she said in her video announcement. "Because this is life about women for women with men, too, talking about what matters to women. And that isn't just what everyone considers a woman's issue. Because what's a woman's issue? I have yet to find out," she added.

Scoop: Katie Miller leaves Musk full-time, launches podcast
Katie Miller, a fiercely loyal aide in both Trump administrations, revealed to Axios that she has left her full-time work for Elon Musk — and today will launch a podcast, "The Katie Miller Podcast," aimed at conservative women. Why it matters: Miller, 33, had behind-the-scenes sway as an adviser to Musk at the height of his DOGE muscle. She left government with him at the end of May, but now is an entrepreneur building her own brand. "For MAGA and President Trump's legacy to grow long-term, we must talk to conservative women," Miller told us. Miller took on a few investors to launch the show, which will drop each Monday. She has a contract production staff and a studio set in the living room of her Washington-area home. Zoom in: In an introductory episode, the Florida native says her podcast will cover "lifestyle, what's going on, real honest conversations — none of the bullsh*t." She says she'll host "politicians, business leaders, celebrities, musicians, artists, scientists — you name it." For her opening episodes, Miller interviewed Vice President Vance on Wednesday in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, boxing legend Mike Tyson in Palm Beach, and former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele. Miller said in an interview that her husband, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, is "incredibly supportive" of her new enterprise, and has even pitched in to wrangle guests. The backstory: Miller, who also worked in the Senate, was a special government employee at the beginning of this Trump term, then went to work directly for Musk. "I'm incredibly grateful to President Trump and Elon for the ability to enact lasting change," she told Axios. "We got a lot done. ... We reshaped how the federal bureaucracy views government spending." Asked about her relationship with Musk since his breakup with Trump, she replied: "I hope Elon is a listener to the podcast and I hope to have him as a guest one day." Between the lines: With so many MAGA podcast audiences skewing male, Miller says in her intro that there hasn't been "a place for conservative women to gather online. There isn't a place for a mom like me, mom of three young kids — 4, 3 and almost 2 — and a wife, and trying to do a career, eat healthy, work out." Miller said she doesn't plan to focus on politics, noting that there's "no conservative answer to 'Call Her Daddy,'" the culture-heavy blockbuster podcast hosted by Alex Cooper. "There isn't a place for a mom like me to get lifestyle information, news, laugh with our friends, gossip about what's going on in the world from our perspective," she added. She said her pod will be "about women, for women — with men, too, talking about what matters to women."
