Transcript of Vance Throws Trump Cabinet Under Bus as Trump Erupts

Vice President JD Vance is throwing Donald Trump's entire cabinet under the bus. He just did an interview with state regime media, which calls itself Fox. Laura Ingraham was the interviewer where JD Vance called out all of the individuals who were attacking him for doing the memorandum of understanding. Also, we've seen a number of leaks over the past 72 hours about the depletion of the United States interceptors, like those PAC-3 Patriot interceptors, those THAAD interceptors, those SM-2, SM-3, SM-6 from the Navy destroyer, anti-ballistic interceptors as well. Also, we're running low on ATACMS. I previously reported how it was some top military generals and admirals who had been leaking to the Washington Post as well as New York Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and others about the massive depletion in our military equipment and that we weren't even capable of escalating this catastrophic war in Iran if Trump wanted to. But it also appears that JD JD Vance has been leaking behind the scenes as well. And it does seem that timed with this interview on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, that JD Vance also was leaking to the Washington Post and to the New York Times regarding Pete Hegseth's behavior during the recent Camp David meeting, uh, where Donald Trump at first said that he was going to blow the effing ass out of Iran right around that time.

And then Donald Trump backed out and said, actually, Iran's Iran's reached out and they want to do a deal. A top regime official who was in the Camp David, uh, room who was at that cabinet meeting has been speaking with the Washington Post and has been speaking with the New York Times. And they provide some very detailed information about what Hegseth, um, was saying and doing. And Hegseth was blaming the fact that the United States doesn't have, uh, interceptors anymore on Steven Feinberg, uh, Who's his deputy. Uh, and of course the White House denies it and says that didn't happen, but this is from the Washington Post article. Trump Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns. At a Camp David summit this weekend, Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Hegseth over the extreme munition sources. Now, a top official in the room, and it just so happened to be coincided with JD Vance doing these interviews. You haven't heard from JD Vance. Advance in a while. Here's what the article says. Back at Camp David, as he was confronted by Trump over the bare weapons stockpile, Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy, Steven Feinberg, for the shortages and for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised of the issue.

Both persons familiar said to the Washington Post. And so this scene is described as Trump getting frustrated as he learns we're out of interceptors, which is something as the commander-in-chief you should have known about, but Trump was too busy, I guess, doing 21,000 stock trades and gilding statues, uh, gold and ruining reflecting pools and helipads. And so there was this, um, encounter that is described as Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Why was Trump misled on the extreme munition shortages that now threatened to limit military options with Iran. Trump said, I was gonna blow the effing ass out of him and we don't have our weapons. The encounter took place on the sidelines of his cabinet meeting. Sources say he was venting at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue had been fixed according to both persons familiar with the conversation who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity. The article goes on to talk about the extreme shortages that we have.. It also then cites, uh, White House propagandist Caroline Levitt. This is 100% fake news, literally never happened. And Trump has the utmost confidence in Hegseth. Secretary Hegseth did not mislead anyone about our munitions posture, and he did not blame Deputy Secretary Feinberg.

These claims about depleted stockpiles, internal disagreements, the secretary position on Iran are equally fictional, Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said. How utterly pathetic can you get? So then you JD Vance, he goes on state regime media, Fox, and he says, look, I think it's interesting that you have all these people who will attack what Trump said by trying to attack me. He goes, but I'm just saying what Trump said, so you don't want to use his name, so you use my name, but all I'm doing is what he wants to do. And again, this is him calling out Hegseth, calling out Rubio, and calling out others because, you know, JD Vance's view, you know, is that we should have kept and stayed within the MOU, that we were running out of interceptors, and that you had Hegseth and you had, you know, all of these other neocon war hawks who wanted to drag us into the war and Rubio and others. Watch what Bannon says here. Let's play it.

What I do think is interesting is that you have people who will attack what the president of the United States has said, but they don't want to use his name because they know that the president of the United States is too big a fish for them. So they'll come after me or they'll come after somebody else in the administration.

That's your job.

That's my job, Laura. And if, if the worst thing that happens over the next couple of years is that I take some flak for the president in order to make his administration more successful, I think he'll be happy about that.

You know that moment at the airport when you're trying to hold the coffee, your phone's dying, TSA wants your laptop out, and suddenly you're juggling everything while the line behind you gets impatient? I feel like that happens to me every time I travel. That's why I become obsessed with Noble. This is their all-in-one carry-on, and it's one of those products where you wonder why nobody's thought of this sooner. First, there's a built-in flip-out cup holder, which sounds simple until you're standing in line at security or waiting at the gate with nowhere to put your coffee. It's one of my favorite features. It also has a built-in charging port, so if your phone's hanging on by 2%, you don't have to fight over that one airport outlet that everyone else is using. Then there's the front laptop pocket. It makes getting through TSA so much easier because you can grab your laptop in seconds instead of digging through your suitcase while everyone behind you stares at you. The 360-degree wheels are incredibly smooth. The bag just glides next to you instead of feeling like you're dragging a heavy suitcase through the airport. And one feature I really love is that there's no zipper at all.

Instead, it locks with a secure latch system that can't be pried open the way zippered luggage can. It's a much smarter design. I went with the All-in-One Suitcase in Midnight Blue, and I love how clean and premium it looks. It really stands out in the airport without being flashy at all. And even if you're not flying first class, your luggage definitely looks like it belongs there. Noble gives you real travel peace of mind. Security, design, and convenience all in one. They are the number one top-rated luggage on Trustpilot. Every suitcase comes with a 100-day money-back guarantee, free 3-day express shipping, and a lifetime warranty.

Then J.D. Vance says that, you know, we are making a lot of progress on Iran and sometimes it's one step forward, two steps back, two steps forward, three steps back. He goes, but what everybody needs to know is that the Iranians are very difficult people. That's his analysis, is that the Iranians are difficult people. Like, you do—

y'all invaded them.

And you destroyed elementary school, an elementary school with 168 little girls who were slaughtered and others who were slaughtered as well with our tomahawks. Y'all, you've engaged in war crime after war crime, and you're saying that they're, that they're difficult to negotiate? They're supposed to be nice to you? What do you think this is? You want a participation trophy for your war crimes? Here's what he says.

Play this clip.

Well, first of all, if they want to make me own the effort to try to bring this war to a successful conclusion, I'm happy to let them make me own it. I am absolutely trying to do that.. But to your point, that sometimes requires one step forward, two steps back, then three steps forward and one step back. I can certainly understand the American people are maybe looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're making progress and it seems like we're not. The reality, Laura, is that number one, the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people.

And then Van's talking obviously about the Rubios and the Hegsets and the others in the regime and the cabinet who have attacked him. He goes, I don't care what your name is., as well. And he goes, if you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop you and throw you in prison for enriching yourself, right? By the way, it's about Trump as well, huh? Here, play this clip.

I don't care where you came from. I don't care what your name is. If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and try to throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer.

And then he starts to talk about this weird culture war issue with Sophie Cunningham, the WNBA player. And, and, you know, and Laura Ingraham was asking him the question before, like, she's getting fouled very hard and they're being mean to her in the games because she wants women in women's sports. What do you— what do you talk— it's a WNBA, it's all women.

What do you—

it's women's basketball. I don't, I don't, I don't— what do you— there's— what are you arguing about? What, what is your issue? You just want to bully transgender people? Like, that's it? I don't even understand your stupid culture war issues. But JD Vance kind of turns it into something about him. It's like, I would tell Sophie, you get attacked when you do the courageous things, when you're a courageous person like me. Here, play this clip.

Look, sometimes when you're courageous in this country, some of the worst people in the world try to attack you. What I would tell Sophie and anybody else is keep speaking your mind. You actually are inspiring a dozen people for every person that criticizes you. And we cannot take our country back. We cannot save the United States of America unless you have people of courage who are speaking their mind. The thing about courage Laura, is it's, it's contagious. When you see one person, even if they have the mob come after them, one person speak their mind in a courageous and honest way, it inspires a lot of people to do the same. So I would tell Sophie, keep going.

You know, and then it should also be noted too that, you know, a report leaked, um, but there's also been a lot of talk about just how Hegseth has been, um, you know, not just with the— not just so reckless when, you know, with the— and Trump too, with the interceptors and the attack 'ems Um, but also with the battleships, a new article that just came out from the New York Times talks about how a new class of warships backed by Trump will cost 50% more than expected. Surprise, surprise, for a total cost of $275 billion. And so Trump wanted to build battleships. This is what the article said. And you've got a lot of people calling him out and top official. I mean, I think Vance behind the scenes is calling him out for this as well. But you have Trump wanted to create the Trump-class battleship. Battleships that are nuclear battleships. Trump doesn't like submarines or stealth ships or anything. He liked the way they looked during World War I and World War II, the big clunky battleships. And so he wants to arm them with nuclear weapons. And so he, and he calls them the Trump battleships.

And so the first one was called USS Defiant, and they're called Trump battleships, and it's gonna cost $23.4 billion, $8 billion more than the Navy initially indicated. The cost of each additional of the 14 vessels, these battleships that are gonna look like World War II battleships, or like even pre-World War II battleships. It's expected to jump by more than $18 billion from $10.2 billion each for a total cost of $275 billion for the 15 ships. What we are hearing from sources as well is that that's probably a low estimate. I know New York Times is saying $275. When all is said and done, it'll probably be closer to $450 billion for what Trump refers to as his Golden Fleet. Just literally just burning our taxpayer dollars. I mean, think about it this way. Right now, how— what are the most important things in war, right? Uh, drones, anti-drone interceptors, unmanned submersives, other, um, drone, you know, FPV drones, you know, all these different drones, ballistics, right? Um, you think about Ukraine's FPV Flamingo, you think about the Iranian ballistics, which has anti-jammer technology. You think about what the Russian, uh, ballistics. Ballistics are critical. The interceptors to stop the ballistics, the drones, the unmanned submersives.

You build a $23 billion ship, it just takes one drone to destroy it. I mean, it's the stupidest thing in the world, you know. And, and literally, I mean, it's literally a waste of our money. I mean, so here you have JD Vance calling out the Trump regime, leaking about the Trump regime, calling them out, um, doing an interview on state regime media. Yeah, um, you know, this is a dysfunctional group of terrorists in my opinion. You tell me what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching, everybody.
