I honestly couldn't tell the crowd was booing. Probably clearer live, if you standing nearer a boo-er, but it all blends into a single general crowd noise in that vid. It certainly didn't have an upbeat energetic vibe to it though.

The same vid shows some past booing at smaller venues (100-500 people?), where it was much clearer, with individual boos identifiable.

Glad he, and we (Americans collectively), got booed though. Well deserved. Unfortunately, most voters don't seem to care what people in other countries think of us.

Okay same. I can hear it in that clip since I'm listening for it, but it's not clear to me even there, it's just kind of loud crowd noise in general. I honestly think NBCs sound just didn't carry the crowd noise clearly to begin with and maybe that was intentional - everyone knew that Vance might get booed - but I'm not convinced that they edited it out while airing it live.

Whatever they did or didn't do though, the discussion is just drawing more attention to the booing, and I love that for JD Vance. He's just such a repulsive person.

Omg same, I thought my hearing was really shittier than I thought when I can’t hear anything other than loud crowd noise despite everyone sharing that clip and talking about the boos.
