00:00:00.000 Now, I saw the Axios report, you know, that Netanyahu is fuming.
00:00:05.520 That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had with him,
00:00:08.300 but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me.
00:00:11.120 What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you've seen people within BB's cabinet
00:00:16.280 who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attack the president
00:00:21.700 of the United States. And I guess my message to them would be twofold.
00:00:25.460 Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.
00:00:36.840 And he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower.
00:00:39.540 Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's huge. Hold on. Let's close that.
00:00:42.620 Holy cow. J.D. Vance just told Israel, let me remind you that Donald Trump is the only head of state in the world right now that's on your side.
00:00:53.160 And you want to turn against him?
00:00:55.460 You want to criticize him? You want to make enemies of him?
00:00:58.860 He's the only one that's on your side right now.
00:01:01.820 Is that really a decision you want to make?
00:01:05.360 That is a very powerful rebuke from the vice president of the United States,
00:01:10.520 and it's absolutely correct.
00:01:12.640 If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government,
00:01:15.300 I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.
00:01:22.220 And the second message I would give to some of those cabinet members,
00:01:24.940 Bibi, to his credit, has not gone down this path, but to some of these cabinet members
00:01:29.520 in Israel who are attacking the President of the United States, the other thing that I
00:01:32.620 would say is that over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have
00:01:38.800 protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax
00:01:45.100 dollars.
00:01:45.860 The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest
00:01:51.800 problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of
00:01:57.340 the situation that country is in. Thank you all.
00:02:02.680 J.D. Vance just got done with a press conference about the memorandum of understanding signed
00:02:12.240 between America and Iran. And he's made, again, some pretty controversial statements, if that's
00:02:18.480 the way you want to put it. True. True would be another way. Controversial slash true. One of
00:02:25.520 these statements that everybody knows is accurate. But. Boy, do people get mad if you actually say
00:02:32.040 it. Let's go first. This Nick Sartor clip. This was posted by Nick Sartor minutes ago. J.D. Vance
00:02:37.000 directly calling out Israeli cabinet members for their personal attacks on President Trump. Here's
00:02:43.120 Vice President J.D. Vance at the White House earlier today. The Israelis, just like everybody
00:02:48.440 else have to respect this peace process that is fundamentally good for them and good for
00:02:53.280 the entire region. What the president gets to go and frustrated sometimes is that we
00:02:56.880 seem to be right on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the agreement. And then all of a sudden
00:03:01.200 there's a major explosion that goes off in a civilian population center in Beirut. And
00:03:05.600 a lot of people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah lose their lives. That's not acceptable.
00:03:09.540 That's the sort of thing that we've asked for closer coordination so that we ensure
00:03:13.240 it doesn't happen. And our message to the Israelis, just as our message to everybody
00:03:16.740 else is fundamentally, we want this peace process to be good for you. We do not want Hezbollah
00:03:22.080 attacking Israel. But in order to ensure that that happens, we have got to actually build the
00:03:27.900 kind of regional framework that can cut off the money to Hezbollah, cut off Iranian support for
00:03:33.100 Hezbollah, and also ensure that Lebanon's territorial sovereignty is respected by all
00:03:39.040 parties. So a couple of interesting things about that statement. Obviously, it's not something that
00:03:46.340 We've heard out of the American administration recently, even though we've all expressed this frustration since it's been obvious to everybody the entire time.
00:03:53.760 And there have been, you know, occasions where Donald Trump has expressed outrage, calling Axios and saying, you know, BB has no judgment because of the bombing of Lebanon.
00:04:03.860 I don't want to be too nitpicky or maybe I should just maybe I should just be happy that J.D. Vance is expressing this.
00:04:08.640 Maybe I shouldn't nitpick it at all. I just I just have a little thing about what is what is the word?
00:04:16.340 Basically, I can't think of the grammatical phrase right now. Passive language, that's what it is. It just came to me. The passive language, you know, explosions went off in Beirut. Really? They just went off, did they?
00:04:31.800 The way I would phrase that was Israel bombed a civilian population, right?
00:04:36.620 There's a subject.
00:04:38.000 There's an action.
00:04:39.940 They did a thing.
00:04:41.220 It did.
00:04:41.520 The thing didn't just occur all of a sudden.
00:04:44.020 But but I'm nitpicking.
00:04:45.240 OK, I'm nitpicking.
00:04:46.360 OK, yes, explosions did go off in Beirut and that's a bad thing.
00:04:50.420 But then he says, you know, we need closer coordination to ensure that doesn't happen again.
00:04:55.300 I'm happy that he's saying this, but was it a lack of close coordinate?
00:05:00.300 Was this an accident?
00:05:01.280 was this was this not the exact thing israel intended to do because if we really want this
00:05:07.400 conflict to end we really don't want to be dragged into yet another forever war which this
00:05:13.100 very easily could have been i mean hell look at ukraine and russia that thing should have been
00:05:17.780 over three years ago it's getting worse daily today the this giant attack by ukraine against
00:05:23.460 russia just promises a greater escalation into the future it's another story we'll try to get
00:05:28.180 to later today but this thing could have gone on forever and thank goodness that you know jd vance
00:05:35.340 and and donald trump seem not to be willing to uh carry this forward like that and i'm happy that
00:05:43.000 jd vance's is saying this but again it's not coordination if we actually want to get out of
00:05:48.660 this conflict the first thing we have to do is recognize that israel is deliberately destroying
00:05:55.300 our ability to create peace it's not a lack of coordination it's not a miscommunication
00:06:01.020 it's not a like well what the heck israel's bombing lebanon israel's like yeah i'm bombing
00:06:05.620 lebanon what's the problem with that it's like we just signed a deal of understanding it's like
00:06:09.100 dang it i didn't know you should have let me know look call me okay call me next time tell me you're
00:06:14.820 signing tell me you're in an agreement and then i won't bomb lebanon like do you really think this
00:06:19.120 is a sitcom style miscommunication happening here people are just missing calls and bombing
00:06:25.680 countries on accident or is it every single time that we get anywhere close to a peace agreement
00:06:32.680 with israel with iran israel bombs lebanon or previously bombed the negotiators we were
00:06:38.340 negotiating with it's not an accident so again i'm not to nitpick jd vance i am very glad that
00:06:44.740 He's saying this, but it's like there's still this poison pill of the assumption that somehow Israel and America are on the same side and that we're a team and that when Israel does something that screws up our plans, it must be a miscommunication.
00:06:59.980 We've really got to get that. What do you say? We've really got to get our coordination closer to figure out how to not have this happen again.
00:07:06.900 The way you have this not happen again is by punishing Israel for doing it, is by restricting Israel's actions because we're the larger partner and have the ability to do that.
00:07:16.900 We just don't have the will for some reason.
00:07:19.680 This is what Joe Kent resigned his position over.
00:07:22.960 This is what we've been saying the entire time.
00:07:25.300 If we actually want to get out of this conflict, we have to consciously recognize and acknowledge the fact that Israel is deliberately keeping us in it by carrying out these terrorist attacks against Lebanese civilians specifically to destroy the ability of us to have an agreement with Iran.
00:07:41.940 So, again, it's a small thing, but the fact that they would even say, like, we need closer coordination to figure this out, it's just like, then we're going to be stuck in this forever because the first thing you have to recognize is that it's absolutely on purpose.
00:07:55.500 It's by design, and it's because Israel doesn't care what's best for us.
00:08:00.220 They care what's best for them, and they want us to do whatever they want us to do for them.
00:08:05.140 It's not that complicated.
00:08:06.080 So, again, more people are recognizing and talking about this. We'll show you clips from the likes of Tucker Carlson later.
00:08:12.380 But let's go to this next clip of J.D. Vance directly calling out the Israeli cabinet members for their attacks on Donald Trump. Let's watch.
00:08:19.640 Now, I saw the Axios report, you know, that Netanyahu is fuming.
00:08:25.380 That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had with him, but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me.
00:08:30.540 What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you've seen people within BB's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked the president of the United States.
00:08:42.860 And I guess my message to them would be twofold.
00:08:45.940 Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.
00:08:56.620 And he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower.
00:08:59.180 That's huge. Hold on.
00:08:59.960 If I was that, holy cow, J.D. Vance just told Israel, let me remind you that Donald Trump is the only head of state in the world right now that's on your side.
00:09:12.960 And you want to turn against him? You want to criticize him? You want to make enemies of him?
00:09:18.680 He's the only one that's on your side right now. Is that really a decision you want to make?
00:09:23.220 that's it that is a very powerful rebuke from the vice president of the united states and it's
00:09:31.300 absolutely correct i'm sorry i wasn't expecting that that is a crazy and accurate statement to
00:09:39.300 make that at this point donald trump is literally the only head of state in the world that is
00:09:46.200 actually still on israel's side and he shouldn't be and it doesn't make any sense why he is quite
00:09:52.380 frankly but you can see the way and we'll show you more clips and we showed you clips in the
00:09:57.940 last segment bezalil smotrick bingavir both men who by the way i'm not even exaggerating they were
00:10:05.760 both either tried accused and i believe one of them convicted of literal terrorist attacks
00:10:12.640 when they were younger like these are actual jewish extremist supremacist terrorists uh that
00:10:19.220 I feel as though Donald Trump and all of America are at their beck and call and that the inability of us to sacrifice literally anything for them is somehow an attack. Can we cut these people off already? Like, what do we do? We don't need them. I mean, what are we doing? We're the only ones in the world that still like them. Why, though? But why are we still why are we still partners with them?
00:10:46.080 it's one of those things you know if your friend thinks everybody else is a jackass you guess who's
00:10:52.600 the jackass right that was a very interesting statement from jd vance let's back it up about
00:10:58.560 10 seconds and start over from there because jd vance just reminded the israelis who are
00:11:03.700 very very mad at donald trump and again we'll show you some clips and articles just about how
00:11:10.000 angry they are at donald trump even though donald trump has sacrificed probably i mean certainly
00:11:16.020 his own political coalition, sacrificed possibly the power of the Republican Party for the next
00:11:22.640 decade, sacrificed dozens of lives of American soldiers, sacrificed hundreds of billions of
00:11:30.220 dollars for them. And the minute that you're not willing to go the next step, you're an anti-Semite.
00:11:37.540 You must be destroyed. It's an extremist mindset that is truly poisonous. Sorry. Sorry to interrupt
00:11:45.260 vice president. Here's J.D. Vance continuing to tell the Israelis what they should really know
00:11:51.500 already. Let's watch. The president of the United States. And I guess my message to them would be
00:11:57.160 twofold. Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic
00:12:05.320 to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the
00:12:10.980 world superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the
00:12:16.920 only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. And the second message I would
00:12:22.760 give to some of those cabinet members, Bibi, to his credit, has not gone down this path, but to
00:12:28.020 some of these cabinet members in Israel who are attacking the president of the United States,
00:12:31.420 the other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, two thirds of the defensive
00:12:37.140 weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid
00:12:43.200 for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump and anybody
00:12:49.740 in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs
00:12:53.820 to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in. Thank you all.
00:13:01.080 That was a very powerful, very unexpected statement from J.D. Vance and a very true one as well.
00:13:07.240 Now, I know of all the suspicions about J.D. Vance concerning his rise, his association with the likes of Peter Thiel and others.
00:13:15.480 And, you know, obviously the suspicious side of me would be saying, well, this is, you know, J.D. Vance sort of recognizing the unpopularity of Israel.
00:13:24.100 and while he may have been actually more in favor of the war in iran than otherwise he now recognizes
00:13:32.660 the political winds are blowing against him and is staking that position knowing that you know
00:13:38.080 it's it's good for his political future that would be the cynical view of this but you know what at
00:13:42.560 least he's saying it at least it's true and it's the vice president of the united states saying
00:13:49.280 what we're all thinking. So I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'm going to
00:13:54.580 appreciate the fact that that's being said, especially when the activity of Israel. I mean,
00:14:02.360 when he's talking about the interceptor missiles, two thirds of which at least are, as he put it,
00:14:08.720 made by American hands and purchased with American tax dollars. That's also true of the white
00:14:14.700 Phosphorus they're dropping on civilians in Lebanon. It's also true of the bombs that they
00:14:20.000 used to completely demolish the open air prison state of Gaza. We have the 250th birthday limited
00:14:29.940 edition run of awesome designs for this July 4th, 2026 coming up. And they're now available

00:14:52.760 say, I'm very impressed with the designs that Bigley came up with. I was heavily involved in
