What does JD Vance claim about the Trump cabinet’s handling of the Iran war?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Vice President J.D. 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 J.D. 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 that interceptors those sm-2 sm-3 sm-6 from the navy destroyer anti-ballistic interceptors as well also we're running low on attackums i previously reported how with 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 J.D. 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 J.D. 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, where Donald Trump at first said that he was going to blow the effing S out of Iran right around that time. And then Donald Trump backed out and said, actually, Iran's reached out and they want to do a deal, a top deal.

regime official who was in the Camp David 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 was saying and doing. And Hegseth was blaming the fact that the United States doesn't have interceptors anymore on Steven Feinberg, who's his deputy. 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 J.D.

How are U.S. interceptor missiles and “attack‑ums” being depleted, according to leaked reports?

Ben Meiselas 2:37
Vance doing these interviews. You haven't heard from J.D. Vance in a while. Here's what the article says. Back at Camp David, as he was confronted by Trump over the bear weapon 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, gold and ruining reflecting pools and helipads. And so there was this encounter that is described as Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Ben Meiselas 3:32
Why was Trump misled on the extreme munition shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran? Trump said I was going to 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 White House propagandist Caroline Leavitt. This is 100 percent 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.
Ben Meiselas 4:22
These claims about depleted stockpiles, internal disagreements, the secretary position on Iran are equally fictional, Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said.
