Vance caught DEFYING Trump with SNEAKY scheme | Another Day

J.D. Vance is skeptical of Trump's Iran. war, but saying that in public could. seriously jeopardize the safety of his. future campaign. This is just another. day. Since Donald Trump decided to launch his. war with Iran, everyone in his. administration has been in lockstep with. their support. At least that is while. cameras and microphones were around. >> In front of his colleagues, Mr. Vance. warned Mr. Trump that a war against Iran. could cause regional chaos and untold. numbers of casualties. It could also.

break apart Mr. Trump's political. coalition and would be seen as a. betrayal by many voters who had. bought into the promise of new wars. Yeah, the Vice President seems to have. been the most forceful one in the room. and sort of laying out more clearly what. everybody else was trying to quietly. express to the president. >> Yes, according to a new report in the. New York Times, J.D. Vance was the only. one not whispering his worry and. discomfort to the commander in chief. The story went on to say that Vance had. described a war with Iran as a huge.

distraction of resources and massively. expensive. Huh. I can't understand why. Trump didn't respond favorably to his. concerns over a distraction of resources. and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Truly. one of life's great mysteries. But. thankfully, since the Vice President. clearly feels the way most Americans do, that it's not okay for our commander in. chief to send a decimation warning to. the people of Iran, he finally had the. guts to voice his displeasure publicly. I want to ask you to ask Jeff Sessions.

on. foreign adventurism. Are you completely. on board with the current war in Iran? I. know what you're trying to do, Phil. You're trying to drive a wedge between. members of the administration, between. me and the president. What the president. said consistently, going back to 2015, and I agreed with him, is that Iran. should not have a nuclear weapon. We. have taken this military action under. the president's leadership. I think all. of us, whether you're a Democrat or. Republican, should pray for success and. pray for the safety of our troops. That's the approach that I've taken.

Make it as successful as possible. Or. not. What a courageous stance by Vance, asking the American people to adopt the. same outlook on Donald Trump's. ill-conceived war as you. There's. nothing we can do now, so let's hope it. goes well and the fewest soldiers die. I. look forward to seeing that on all of. Vance's 2028 campaign material. Let's. talk about the elephant in the room. here. The Vice President is clearly. trying to play politics and take both. sides of this disastrous war because he. knows that besides it being wrong, it is.

going to be a massive burden for him in. the next campaign for president. Which. is why yesterday Vance was happy to echo. Trump's threats. What we really want is. we want a world where oil and gas is. flowing freely, where people can afford. to heat their homes and cool their. homes, where people can afford to. transport themselves to work. That's not. going to happen if the Iranians are. engaged in acts of economic terrorism. So, they've got to know we've got tools. in our toolkit that we so far haven't. decided to use. The President of the.

United States can decide to use them and. he will decide to use them if the. Iranians don't change their course of. conduct. Hear that? That is the public. support for Trump's war, which is. exactly what Vance promised he would do. if Trump made the horrible decision to. enter America into this conflict. Mr. Vance, whose disagreement with the whole. premise was well established, addressed. the president, "You know, I think this. is a bad idea, but if you want to do it, I'll support you." And I'm sorry, but. the phrase, "You know, I think this is a. bad idea, but if you want to do it, I'll. support you." is what you say to your.

friend when they're thinking of dating. Bill Belichick, not a 79-year-old. dementia-addled lunatic with the nuclear. codes and a frothing desire to use them. And besides J.D. Vance's pathetic. cowardice to not speak out publicly on. his disagreement with Trump, it's even. worse that he's now leaking his. purported anti-war stance to the New. York Times because this is a tacit. admission that he knows this is wrong. Here's a novel idea. If you want to be. tomorrow's leader, maybe try leading. today. The reality is, Americans have. some pretty big questions about our vice.

president. Namely, who is he really? What does he really believe? And did he. really have sex with that couch? And by. the way, I'm not here to kink shame. I'd. much rather have an elected official. abuse a sectional than abuse girls at a. private island. But as to who J.D. Vance. is, the real answer seems to be he is. whoever the he needs to be to. continue his ascent to power. Everybody. knows Jessica Dolores Vance is. positioning himself for a 2028. presidential run, but it's clear that. this man has been positioning himself. for that run for decades and will say.

whatever he needs to say to win. Years. ago, Vance became popular off his memoir. Hillbilly Elegy, which recounts his. struggles growing up in an impoverished. household in rural Appalachia. The. takeaway of the book is that community. and family really matter. And I think. anybody who ignores that is. fundamentally not appreciating the. actual reality that exists on the ground. and the complexity of the problems these. kids face. That's right. According to. J.D., community and family are an. integral part of succeeding in America. But apparently, that message didn't.

quite reach our nation's billionaires. So, J.D., man of the people, Vance, decided to change his tune and give them. a little boost by casting the. tie-breaking vote on legislation that. awarded them $4 trillion in tax cuts. I. guess community and family doesn't quite. fill up the G5 the way it used to. Now, I'm not saying that a person isn't. allowed to change their views, but that. is a whole lot of change as opposed to. some small amount of change that one. might find, let's say, between two. terribly naughty couch cushions.

But who's deserving of tax breaks isn't. the only pivot J.D. has made. Before he. took up residence inside Trump's colon, he held some slightly different views. Senator Vance once called himself a. never Trump guy, saying on NPR, quote, "I can't stomach Trump." And once. comparing him to Hitler. Yeah, and not. in the Trump really knows his way around. some watercolors like someone else I. know kind of way. But, I guess for. Vance, getting to be the Führer's. running mate isn't an opportunity you. turn down. Or how about JD's views on.

the possibility of a draft? The thing. that I worry the most about for this. generation is that if we don't get. foreign policy right, a lot of people in. your generation are going to pick up the. pieces and fix the mistakes of the. current generation of American. leadership. And I don't want you to have. to do that. I do not want you guys to. have to put on a uniform, not because. you're patriotic and volunteer, but. because your country forces you to. because Kamala Harris has blundered us. into another significant conflict.

>> So, if our nation's nightmare had become. a reality and Kamala Harris had gotten. elected, our sons and daughters would. have been susceptible to a draft and. sent off to war. But, thankfully, Vance. and Trump prevailed and our draft. worries are over. Get your take about. this idea of troops on the ground. Mothers out there are worried that we're. going to have a draft, that they're. going to see their sons get in and and. daughters get involved in this. What do. you want to say about the president's. plans for troops on the ground? As we.

know, it's been largely an air campaign. up until now. Mhm. It has been and it will continue to be. and President Trump wisely does not. remove options off of the table. Nothing. is off the table. Great. You know, if. there's one thing that you can guarantee. when it comes to JD Vance, it's that. people are going to get and some. type of furniture will always be. involved. The sad reality is that JD. Vance is just a big ball of blind. ambition, a concoction of whatever it. takes to get to that next rung on the.

ladder of power. He is a Rust Belt. die-hard who gives hands out to. billionaires. He's a Trump-hating. pacifist who's complicit in the. likelihood of Trump's draft. And he's. the father in a multi-racial family who. proudly says like this. >> In the United States of America, you. don't have to apologize for being white. anymore. Which really just sounds like. someone's wife didn't love his idea of. celebrating their anniversary at the. Cheesecake Factory, so he pulled the. race card. And these days, once again, J.D. Vance is trying to take both sides.

on Trump's war in Iran because he knows. that it will be a huge burden in his. future presidential run. J.D. Vance is. such a power-hungry coward. He would. rather save his campaign than save the. lives of millions of people. And I know. that may sound harsh, but there's just. no other way to couch it. Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward:

power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and, more importantly, how we. should finally wield power if we're. lucky enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by following. the link on this screen.
