Good. For Aldi. Donald Trump and others in his regime are already trying to throw J.D.

Vance under the bus for the deal with Iran.

You have leaks going out to various media outlets right now that Marco Rubio, Heggsith and others were very much against the deal with Iran.

But ultimately it was J.D. Vance.

And they also say Jared Kushner and Whitkoff. But this was being led by J.D. Vance. They said who ultimately decided to do this deal with Iran. And now J.D. Vance is going to be the person apparently going to Geneva on Friday to sign in person in Geneva

with Iran's Parliament leader. M.B. Gallaboff. To do a media appearance, if you will. And now all you're hearing leak after leak from the Trump regime is that J.D. Vance

was the architect of this. Don't blame us for this deal. It's all on J.D. Vance. Now you may recall. It's actually several weeks ago when Donald Trump was having

a press conference in the Oval Office. And he specifically said, if this doesn't go the way I say it's going to go. If we don't do regime change, if we are unable to completely whatever Trump was saying,

we'll obliterate all of Iran and destroy their ballistic missiles and take control and put our proxence. It's all going to be J.D. Vance's fault. He actually said that.

And now you have people like Lindsey Graham and other mega-neo-con war hawks saying, it's J.D. Vance is the architect. Let's just see what J.D. Vance is going to tell us.

So here's what Lindsey Graham and other kind of

mega-trumpers are now saying. I'm pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow this to rate of removes to open his been agreed to. I will be watching closely

the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and other matters. I'm somewhat concerned that Iran's view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming. Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran

will be sent to Congress for review and a vote. I look forward to reviewing the final product.

I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal

vice president, Vance and his negotiating partners be part of the process in presenting the final deal to Congress. Congratulations to all and getting us to this point. Time will tell. And let's be very clear.

That is a threat right there. That Graham and these other neocons will be working with Netanyahu and others in Netanyahu's regime to try to undermine this deal. Now, I also find it fascinating

that people like Lindsey Graham and other mega-republicans who refuse to pass a war powers resolution act to actually assert Congress's authority over this war to begin with and to ensure that Donald Trump cannot continue engaging in this unlawful and catastrophic war

are now saying, "Hey, J.D., we're going to make you testify in front of Congress and justify the deal that you did for peace. We'll give you unfettered permission structures to engage in genocidal warfare, but when it comes to the peace side,

that's when the neocons are like, we want you to show up and speak to us now.

We knew a lot of this was going on behind the scenes as well

in that Israel was Netanyahu who was leaking to Israeli press.

And we also learned about it from US press

that Israel blamed J.D. Vance for providing what Israel said was classified information to Turkey's leader, Erdogan, about the Israeli plan to work with the United States to arm the Kurds to invade Iran

and Netanyahu basically accused Vance of treason

leaking classified information early on in the war to air-to-one air-to-one then called Donald Trump and said, "You can't arm the Kurds because Turkey said we don't want them near our border, so we don't have them."

We want to want you to arm them and allow them to invade Iran. And then we've also seen numerous leaks where it appeared that J.D. Vance or J.D. Vance's chief of staff

who, by the way, suddenly resigned at the end of last week appeared to be the source of it. A New York Times story that talked about how J.D. Vance was the only person in the cabinet room who was warning Donald Trump

not to do this catastrophic war. There was an article in the Atlantic which basically seemed like it was written by J.D. Vance saying that he doesn't support the war and that people like headset

that Rubio and others were giving Donald Trump incorrect and false information about this war from the outset. But it seems that the knives are out if you will for J.D. Vance in the regime

and they're all kind of circling and saying if anything goes wrong or we're going to make it go wrong and then blame it on J.D. Vance. And so J.D. Vance was trotted out there

to do numerous media appearances to try to justify this deal.

And the first thing he wanted everybody to know

as they're all out to get him and I think this is J.D. Vance also I think kind of sending a warning shot to those people also. J.D. Vance is like, we all know how healthy Donald Trump is, right?

Trump is so healthy right now.

So I think we're going to make it go wrong.

And again, I view what J.D. Vance is saying here as signaling to others like, we all know that I may have to step in and be the president soon. Watch what he says here, play this clip.

But my sense of the president's health is that it's off the charts good. His focus, his energy, his constant grinding. I mean, the presidency is a crazy job. And then J.D. Vance tries to explain that

actually he says World War II was resolved in a very similar negotiation as the way I negotiated this deal with Iran. We all know how World War II was resolved, right? Through a similar negotiation.

I genuinely don't know what it is. That's not how World War II went. It's not how World War II ended, but this is what J.D. Vance said here. Let's play this clip right here.

If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War II, if you go back to every major conflict in human history,

they all end with some kind of negotiation.

And to remind you, this was from a few weeks back or so in Donald Trump, blame J.D. Vance. If anything would go wrong with the war,

he said it would be J.D. Vance's fault. Let's play this clip. He's working on the deal, right? How's that moving? Is it okay? The big deal?

You see it happening? What are we going to do? So if it doesn't happen, I'm blaming J.D. Vance. If it does happen,

I'm taking full credit. No, I think it'll be... I think it has to happen. I think it's desperate. Before continuing,

one quick PSA for the Midas Mighty when it comes to Medicare. Most Medicare agents push Medicare advantage plans, even when they're not right for you because they make more money doing it.

That's why we strongly recommend you do what thousands in our audience have already done. Speak with chapter, please.

They don't just share the amazing benefits

of Medicare Advantage. They explain the pros and cons of all your Medicare options. Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and Part D.

Chapter supports you in comparing every plan against your specific healthcare needs because they want to ensure you have the best coverage for you. One chapter member, Jill,

said her advisor presented options. She didn't even see on the Medicare.gov website. And in many cases, chapter saves people over 1,100 a year by getting them on the right plan.

If you're on Medicare

or will be soon, dial 82 Medicare and get honest advice from chapter. That's 82 Medicare. It's free and quick.

They can review your options in under 20 minutes. If you're on the right plan already, they'll tell you. If you're not,

they can help you save thousands. The way they have with thousands of members of the Midas Mighty. Now, in terms of JD events, also being thrown under the bus,

there have been numerous leeks within the White House,

which may be coming from headset, may be coming from Rubio supporters. And like, and this is what the Daily Mail published in the past week or so. JD Vance is considering abandoning his run

for the presidency in 2028. JD Vance, now the loan dove in Donald Trump's cabinet after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation has been left more isolated than ever

and is even considering abandoning a run for the presidency in 2028. Multiple sources tell the Daily Mail. So there were numerous sources that were also telling media outlets

that Donald Trump would constantly mock JD Vance for taking lots of vacations. They would mock JD Vance for dropping the Heisman trophy when the college football championship trophy

when the winning team visited the White House. They would talk about how Trump would mock all of the vacations. JD Vance would take and that Susie Wiles would criticize JD Vance

for all of his social media habits. They didn't like his social media posts and this was a leak to the New York Times as well as the others in the Trump regime are now trying to undermine JD Vance.

Privately questions whether JD Vance has what it takes to become the Republican standard banner in New York Times reports. He frequently asks AIDS and allies for their opinion

on Vance's potential treating the issue as unresolved rather than assuming Vance is the obvious success or well, if you want to run JD Vance versus Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden in the latest TPSI official poll Hunter Biden would lead JD Vance in a hypothetical matchup by about 4.3% Hunter Biden would be JD Vance there. I want to share this with you as well.

He'll recall that when JD Vance was in Pakistan for the original negotiation that took place that didn't result in a deal with Iran. JD Vance was saying

that the Iranians didn't understand the negotiating terms

and that we never promised

that Lebanon would be part of the ceasefire, which is fascinating because Iran always made a clear that Lebanon would be part of the ceasefire and indeed the agreement right now

that was agreed to was Lebanon was part of the ceasefire and so it basically seems that so this was from April 8th, 2026 here we are June 14th when the deal was announced

today is June 15th but saying basically the terms that Iran and the Iran put forward on April 8th heading into the Pakistan meeting

now ultimately what the U.S. agreed to. Here's what JD Vance said on April 8th, play this clip. Thanks, first of all, I actually think and there's a lot of bad faith

negotiation and a lot of bad faith propaganda going on.

I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.

I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn't.

We never made that promise.

We never indicated that was going to be the case. What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.

And then JD Vance's message to the American people. He had a call Fox yesterday. I mean, he's under fire now from Netanyahu, the Neocon Warhawks, all of the, you know,

the people in Israel hate him now. You know, and ultimately doing this deal while, you know, I think was the right call. I mean, I think we should never be clear. We should never have been in this unlawful

and catastrophic war in the first place. This was the only option, you know, at this point. But it's interesting that now everybody has their knives out for Vance.

And now Vance basically says, "I know this has been hard for the American people,

but I think we've achieved something great for them

as his kind of conclusion in this all. I think we've got something great for you. I know you've suffered a lot, but isn't this in the end, what we all wanted?

And I think what all Americans are saying

is we never wanted these wars.

We don't want any of them.

Stop the genocide in Gaza.

Stop the genocide in Lebanon.

Stop these catastrophic and unlawful wars.

Just shut them down and focus on the suffering of the American people and help the American people who aren't able to live right now and under these conditions in the United States.

Here's what JD Vance said.

You can listen to it for yourself. That's a great way. Argonne. But this is just a great thing for the American people.

I know that they suffer from high gas prices.

The president has certainly been very concerned about that fact.

But what we're going to be able to do

is drive down the cost of energy, not just now, but for the long term, and create a real engine of prosperity in the Middle East, where Americans benefit from those lower energy prices,

lower gas prices, and we don't have the same risk of chaos that we've had for the last generation. That's a big win for the American people. I know that this has been a hard time

for a lot of Americans, but we have achieved something great for them. So there you have it. You know, you have the neocons after Vance, the Masada after Vance,

and I think there's going to be a real big push, obviously, amongst the Warhawks, Netanyahu others to derail this thing and to try to house to JD Vance.

I think that's what we need to pay attention to.

I mean, I think they're going to make it concerted effort to try to push JD Vance out. What do you think? Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million,
