The Harry Sisson Show - Trump THROWS Vance UNDER THE BUS As Iran Spirals

Episode Date: March 3, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down Trump's recent attempt at throwing JD Vance under the bus for his failing military plan in Iran.

All right, folks, we know that Donald Trump is spiraling right now. I mean, Iran is getting out of control, both at home and abroad. Six American troops at the time of filming this have died in the Middle East with many more injured. And then here in the United States, Donald Trump is suffering a MAGA civil war. People in his base are furious at him for striking Iran. And he is essentially telling them to kick rocks. But the thing about Donald Trump is that he is willing to throw anybody and everybody under the bus as long as it benefits him, as long as it makes it seem like he's in the right,

he's supported, and anybody that disagrees with him is in the wrong and they're alone in the conversation. And unfortunately for J.D. Vance, he happens to be the fall guy in this case because Donald Trump has once again put the onus on J.D. Vance pushed him off the ledge to take the fall instead of him. And J.D. Vance has frequently becoming the fall guy for this administration. So I want to talk about how Donald Trump is calling BS on Vance's frantic spin about the Iran war. But before I do any of that, please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the

video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story. If you're on Apple or Spotify, please make sure to rate the show five stars and follow along. It goes an incredibly long way. Without further ado, let's get into it. So Donald Trump has really been isolating J.D. Vance throughout the entirety of what he's been doing with Iran.

And it all begins here. actually the day that Trump struck Iran, February 28, 2026. The White House posted these photos of Donald Trump monitoring the U.S. military operation in Iran. This was in Florida. And who do you see around Donald Trump? You have Trump himself, Marco Rubio, his secretary of state, Susie Wiles. These are all senior advisors for Donald Trump near him as his operation takes place. But where's J.D. Vance?

You know, there's this conversation in the Republican Party right now for 2028. should it be Rubio, should it be Vance? And, you know, Donald Trump has claimed to not take a side. But Marco Rubio is increasingly appearing by his side in these major operations. And J.D. Vance is nowhere to be seen. So where was J.D. Vance? Well, he was at the kids' table. He was relegated to the kids' table.

This is where J.D. Vance was. Him and cabinet secretaries in the Situation Room. Some of those cabinet secretaries include Tulsi Gabbard, who is also previously been anti-war in the Middle East, and now she has to go along. with it. And there's J.D. Vance sitting in his kids' room with his Mountain Dew next to him, and he gets to monitor the situation completely away from Donald Trump. There's Scott Besant on the right as well. But Trump is isolating him. He pushed him out. You know, he has this major photo of him and all of his senior advisors, and J.D. Vance is nowhere to be seen. But it actually gets worse for J.D.

Vance, and this just happened today. This is an addition to the example we're going to talk about in the article. But J.D. Vance went on Fox News last night. last night and said, there's just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multi-year conflict with no end in sight. Watch the moment he said it. What is different about President Trump and it's frankly different about both Republicans and Democrats of the past is that he's not going to let his country go to war unless there's a clearly defined objective. He's defined that objective as Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and has to commit long term to never trying to rebuild the nuclear capability. It's pretty clear. It's pretty simple. And I

I think that means that we're not going to get into the problems that we've had with Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you and the president care? That's what he says. There's just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multi-year conflict with no end in sight. And Donald Trump, he's only going to go to war with clear objectives and he doesn't want to be there forever. Except, here's where it gets bad for J.D. Vance. Just hours later, hours later, Donald Trump gets on social media and said, the United States munitions stockpiles have at the medium and upper medium grade never been higher or better.

He's addressing concerns that the United States have depleted our stockpiles of munitions around the world, and it's obviously very difficult to refill those. And he's trying to let people know that that's not the case. As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Okay. Wars can be fought forever and very successfully. So according to Trump, we have an unlimited supply of munitions, which is, of course, It's just not true.

But also, wars can be fought forever. You know, that doesn't seem to me like somebody who wants to get in and out, you know, just like a week-long operation, a two-week-long operation. He's talking about fighting wars forever, having these munitions forever. That's pretty contradictory to what J.D. Vance said just hours before on Fox News. He keeps getting thrown under the bus. But there's some reporting coming out from different news outlets that seem to imply that J.D. Vance is actually in favor of the strikes, that he says.

he was arguing in favor of the strikes to Donald Trump, which seems weird to me. According to the New York Times, for his part, Vance argued that a limited strike was a mistake. If the United States was going to hit Iran, it should go big and go fast. Before the meeting, Trump appeared to have been leaning toward a strategy of a smaller strike, followed by a bigger one if Iran did not give up its nuclear enrichment. But Vance's arguments seem to resonate. And in the coming days, more officials move toward the idea that the United States and Israel should jointly take aim, not just at the Iranian missile and nuclear

programs, but also at the leadership itself. So the reporting from the New York Times and what seems to be a leak from inside the Trump White House is saying, actually, Vance is on board. He's always been on board. He was the one advocating for these strikes and Donald Trump wanted a more limited operation, which strikes me as weird because J.D. Vance back in 2023 was decrying the Iraq war, saying 20 years ago, we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over a trillion dollars and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons. And now fast forward to now JD Vance is in favor of striking Iran and doing all of that. And even Marjorie Taylor Green called

BS on the reporting saying, oh, J.D. Vance did it. They hate J.D. They don't ever want him to be president. So now that they effed up so bad and they are getting our military members killed for Israel, it's J.D.'s fault, not Trump's fault, or any of the neocons screaming 24-7 in his ear. What's the truth? Marjorie Taylor Green is skeptical. And now that brings us to the latest example of Donald Trump throwing J.D. Vance under the bus. There are so many. I mean, there have just been in the three days, three or four days that this has been going on with Iran. Donald Trump has thrown J.D. Vance under the bus multiple times. And this is, you know, the guy he says is next in line. You know what I mean? He's great. Trump loves him, except he just constantly is sabotaging his political

career. And what's even worse for J.D. Vance, especially for this reporting, the last point I want to make is that J.D. Vance, here it is, J.D. Vance has always been the guy in the MAGA world that's anti-intervention, anti-war. And now Donald Trump is completely ruining that reputation that he's built up for years and was hoping to obviously take into 2028. And Donald Trump is saying, not so fast. Trump has thrown his vice president under the bus over Iran rejecting suggestions that J.D. Vance needed to be convinced about entering another foreign war. In a pointed rebuttal of Vance's evolving public posture on the conflict, Trump dismissed the idea that the vice president whose political reputation was built on his opposition to foreign

intervention was wobbly over the decision by the U.S. to strike over the weekend. In a brief interview with real clear politics, Trump said Vance, quote, did not take persuading about supporting the strikes, which have so far resulted in six U.S. members being killed. The comments could prove sensitive for Vance, the standard bearer of MAGA's anti-interventionist wing, as he struggles to thread the needle over a war that could be a liability for him down the track. Yeah. I mean, look, we all know that J.D. Vance is sitting here thinking about 2028. He's looking at everything happening in the MAGA movement, the civil war that's taking place. He's looking at what's happening in Iran, and he knows he's going to be tied to it,

whether he likes it or not. Donald Trump is forcing him to be tied to it. It is one of the most extreme examples I've ever seen of a politician throwing another politician under the bus. In 2023, for instance, for instance, Vance wrote an op-ed praising Trump's reluctance to start wars, describing this as, quote, the enduring legacy of Mr. Trump's first term.

This week, he embarked on a spin campaign after White House sources said the one-time isolationist had pushed for a go-big war in Iran. So sources close to him later, rush to downplay the discourse, insisting that he had really opposed the war in private. The prolific tweeter was also conspicuously quiet in the days after the strike, prompting supporters to wonder where he was. Seems like J.D. Vance knows how bad this looks, knows how bad this is for Trump and the

administration as a whole. He's staying pretty quiet unless he's deployed to Fox News to defend it, but Donald Trump, nonetheless, throwing his vice president under the bus, and perhaps there's a rift forming there. I'll see as the days goes on. But anyway, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Make sure to subscribe down below. Drop a like on the video, comment.
