Transcript [00:00] a clip of Vice President JD Vance that [00:02] has been going viral over the last [00:04] couple days. He was speaking at a [00:05] Turning Point USA event and he made some [00:08] comments about the Pope's comments [00:11] criticizing President Trump and in that [00:15] led to uh an interaction with a student [00:18] in the crowd uh where the student [00:20] attacked him on on Israel and a lot of [00:23] the viral activity of this clip is being [00:26] viewed as Vance pushing back on the [00:28] student and and defending you know you [00:31] know you know shouting you know shouting [00:33] down or uh or you know dealing with this [00:37] anti-Israel heckler. But if we really [00:39] pay attention to what Mance said, I [00:40] think there's something very disturbing [00:41] there and it's actually part of a [00:44] pattern uh in Vance's statements about [00:48] Israel. So I'm going to play the clip [00:49] and then I will share my thoughts. Okay, [00:52] so here we go. Here's Vance a couple [00:55] days ago at this Turning Point event. [00:58] >> So I think this this segus very well [01:01] into our next question here. You are a [01:03] practicing Catholic. You're uh despite [01:06] your language, you're you're attempting [01:08] to be a faithful Catholic. [01:09] >> That's right. That's right. [01:12] >> I think it was well placed if I if I may [01:14] say. [01:15] >> I'm sure you've seen that uh the Vatican [01:18] and the Pope and the President have been [01:20] in the news uh lately. [01:22] >> So, as a Catholic, what does it feel [01:24] like to be, you know, in the middle of [01:27] that? I thought it was going to be easy [01:28] questions. This is kind of a tough [01:30] question here. [01:30] >> Nope. No easy ones. So, so here here's [01:32] the thing about this. So, first of all, [01:34] you will sometimes hear people say, [01:36] well, you know, the Vatican, the church, [01:40] whether it's the Protestant church, the [01:42] Catholic Church, like, you know, they [01:44] should preach the gospel, they should [01:46] ignore public policy. I actually don't [01:48] agree with that. I actually think that [01:50] it's a good thing when Christian [01:51] leaders, whether they're Catholic or [01:52] Protestant, part of preaching the gospel [01:55] is talking about how the gospel applies [01:58] to the issues of the day. So, I'm I've [02:00] never been one of these people who say [02:01] that you should never have, you know, [02:03] Christian leadership not talking about [02:05] politics or frankly political leaders [02:08] not talking about their Christian faith. [02:10] But I do think that we [02:11] >> Let me just make a comment, a quick [02:13] comment. I love this. This I actually am [02:16] fully in favor of. I say it all the [02:18] time. Let me just make the point quick. [02:20] I am also uh I I I don't like it when I [02:23] hear rabbis or pastors say that I don't [02:26] want to mix faith and politics. I think [02:28] it's unserious and I think it's an [02:30] avoidance of issues. It's that they're [02:32] afraid of their flock or that they're [02:34] just not or that they're just not [02:36] realizing the real burden of [02:38] responsibility that is on leaders, faith [02:40] leaders. Bottom line, [02:43] um [02:45] faith, religion is about how we order [02:48] the world, how we order society, what [02:51] what the world is supposed to look like [02:53] and what we're striving for and what [02:54] we're trying to produce. And so is [02:56] politics. Politics is also about how we [02:58] order society. And if we don't mix faith [03:01] and politics, then we're not one of [03:03] those two things we're not taking [03:04] seriously enough. I actually believe [03:06] that they have to be blended, especially [03:08] nowadays when when the main battles that [03:10] we're fighting have such a strong [03:13] ideological and moral component to them. [03:16] So I actually like what he just said. [03:18] >> We have to remember that, you know, each [03:21] of us has our own role. I'm the vice [03:23] president of the United States. The [03:25] fundamental way I understand my role is [03:27] that I'm trying to take the lessons, the [03:30] moral truths that are that are rooted in [03:32] Christianity and I'm trying to apply [03:34] them to a whole host of complicated real [03:36] world scenarios. You know, the the Thank [03:40] you. [03:44] So, my job is to apply moral truth to [03:47] try to do the best thing for the [03:48] American people. That's my job. And [03:49] that's the president of the United [03:50] States's job. And of course, he's the [03:52] person who leads our administration. the [03:54] Pope's job is to preach the gospel. [03:56] Okay? And again, I think that sometimes [03:58] in the in the context like it doesn't [04:00] bother me even when I disagree with him [04:02] and I have a lot of respect for the [04:03] Pope. I like him. I admire him. I've [04:06] gotten to know him a little bit. I I I [04:08] it doesn't bother me when he speaks on [04:10] issues of the day. Frankly, even when I [04:13] disagree with how he's applying a [04:14] particular principle. So the the most [04:16] obvious example is it has frustrated me [04:19] that some of the Catholic clergy have [04:22] attacked mercilessly the Trump [04:25] administration on immigration. It is a [04:28] constant idea that somehow everything [04:30] that that the Trump administration does [04:32] when it comes to sec securing our [04:33] borders is inhumane. And my constant [04:37] response to that is how is it humane to [04:40] allow drug traffickers and sex [04:41] traffickers to bring little kids across [04:43] the southern border? [04:44] >> Amen. How how is that humane? [04:51] But but again, I'd almost rather have [04:53] the conversation. So, I kind of like [04:56] even when there's disagreement, I like [04:58] it when the Pope comments on questions [04:59] of immigration. I like it when the Pope [05:01] talks about abortion. I like it when the [05:03] Pope talks about matters of war and [05:06] peace because I think that at the very [05:08] least it invites a conversation. So I [05:10] think some people, you know, their [05:11] reaction to this is to is to say, well, [05:14] you know, he shouldn't have said that. [05:15] And look, there are certainly things [05:16] that the pope has said in the last few [05:18] few months that I disagree with. Let me [05:20] just take like one very concrete [05:22] example, you know, related to this [05:24] conflict in in in Iran. So the pope said [05:27] something where he said, and I'm going [05:29] to I'm going to try to remember the [05:31] exact quote, but he said that God is [05:33] never on the side of those who wield the [05:35] sword. God is never on the side of those [05:38] who wield the sword. I'm pretty sure [05:39] that he said that exact that exact [05:41] statement. Now, on the one hand, again, [05:44] I like that the Pope is an advocate for [05:46] peace. I think that's certainly one of [05:48] his roles. On the other hand, how can [05:51] you say that God is never on the side of [05:53] those who wield the sword? Was God on [05:56] the side of the Americans who liberated [05:58] France from the Nazis? Was God on the [06:01] side of the Americans who liberated [06:03] Holocaust camps and liberated those [06:05] those innocent people from, you know, [06:07] those who had survived the Holocaust? I [06:10] I I I [06:12] certainly think the answer is yes. And I [06:14] agree. Jesus Christ does not I agree. [06:16] Jesus Christ certainly does not support [06:18] genocide. Whoever yelled that out from [06:20] the dark, he certainly does not. I think [06:23] that's pretty easy. I think that's a a [06:25] pretty easy principle. [06:29] >> Okay. So, so here's a guy. Let me just [06:32] say this. Th This is a guy. No, no, no, [06:34] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. First of [06:37] all, first of all, random dude who's [06:38] shouting, can I finish my point and then [06:40] I'll respond to what you just shouted? [06:42] Is that okay? [06:43] >> Okay, great. [06:43] >> Yeah. Can we give him one second to to [06:45] to answer this? [06:46] >> So, let me just finish this question on [06:48] the pope and then I want to respond to [06:49] what this guy said. So number one, the [06:52] when when the when the pope says that [06:55] God is never on the side of those who [06:57] wield the sword, there is a [06:59] thousand-year more than a thousand-year [07:01] tradition of just war theory. Okay? Now, [07:04] we can of course have disagreements [07:06] about whether this or that conflict is [07:08] just, but I think that it's important in [07:10] the same way that it's important for the [07:11] vice president of the United States to [07:12] be careful when I talk about matters of [07:15] public policy. I think it's very very [07:17] important for the pope to be careful [07:19] when he talks about matters of theology. [07:21] And I think that one of these issues [07:23] here is that there has been is again, [07:26] hey, random dude screaming, I told you [07:28] I'd respond to your point. I just want [07:30] to respond to this question first. But I [07:33] I think one of the issues here is that [07:34] if you're going to opine on matters of [07:37] theology, you've got to be careful. [07:39] You've got to make sure it's anchored in [07:40] the truth. And that's one of the things [07:42] that I try to do and it's certainly [07:44] something I would expect from the clergy [07:45] whether they're Catholic or Protestant. [07:47] Now, [07:47] >> okay, before we get to his his response [07:50] to this uh random dude, uh I just want [07:53] to draw your attention to uh israel [07:56] 365action, the organization that I lead. [07:59] And I want you to go to [08:01] israel365action.com. [08:03] Just israel 365action.com [08:06] and sign up. put your name, first name, [08:08] last name, email, and then you will get [08:10] our weekly newsletter which will keep [08:12] you up to date on uh everything that's [08:15] going on. A lot of uh key information [08:17] you need to defend Israel and to and to [08:20] know uh you know you know to you know to [08:22] know what the truth is as well. Give you [08:25] uh you know it'll equip you to fight on [08:27] behalf of Israel, let you know what's on [08:29] the table. are uh the three main focus [08:31] areas of Israel 365 action is Jew Jews [08:35] and Christians together uh fighting for [08:38] Israel's sovereignty over the entire [08:40] land of Israel fighting misinformation [08:43] about Israel and defending [08:45] Judeo-Christian western civilization [08:47] raising the alarm about the uh the [08:50] persecution of Christians and of the [08:52] rise of Sharia and and all those uh [08:54] those issues that Jews and Christians [08:56] share. It's really, this is the perfect [08:58] video to talk about this because Israel [08:59] 365 action while it's about defending [09:02] Israel. U it's really about defending [09:05] Judeo-Christian Western civilization. [09:07] Even Judea and Samaria issue, that's a [09:09] biblical issue. That land belongs to the [09:11] nation of Israel based on the Bible that [09:13] Jews and Christians hold dear. So, [09:15] please go to Israel 365 action. that'll [09:17] really connect you to all the work that [09:19] I'm doing, all the work that we're doing [09:20] at Israel 365 Action and it'll keep you [09:23] in the loop about great webinars and all [09:25] my media appearances and everything and [09:28] and all the rest of and all the rest of [09:31] that. Now, I I just, you know, while [09:33] we're paused here before we get now, [09:35] he's about to pivot to the issue of um [09:39] he's about to pivot back to the issue of [09:41] Israel, right? He's going to he's about [09:43] to respond to that kid who was raising [09:46] the the issue of Israel's committing a [09:48] genocide in Gaza. Okay. Uh but first, [09:51] let's just, you know, while we're [09:52] paused, let's just deal with this with [09:54] this Pope issue very briefly. I made a [09:56] whole video about Trump and the Pope. [09:57] You might want to check it out on this [09:59] channel. It was a couple days ago. Uh [10:01] but also for people who aren't Catholic, [10:03] my fellow Jews and other people in the [10:05] in the in the audience who who kind of [10:07] like scratch their heads at wait a [10:09] second, don't Catholics believe that the [10:10] Pope is infallible? How can you be like, [10:12] "Oh, it's okay if we disagree with the [10:14] pope." It's a misunderstood concept. [10:17] Papal infallibility is very specific and [10:19] limited in Catholic doctrine. It's often [10:21] misunderstood as meaning that the pope [10:23] can't be wrong about anything. But it's [10:25] actually very narrow. Pope, the papal [10:27] infallibility only applies when the pope [10:29] speaks what's called ex cathedra, which [10:32] means from the chair, meaning that he's [10:34] formally defining a doctrine concerning [10:36] faith or morals, uh, or explicitly [10:40] invoking his full apostolic authority, [10:43] binding the entire church to that [10:45] teaching. It does not cover the pope's [10:47] personal opinions or his statements and [10:50] interviews, uh, scientific or historical [10:53] claims, political judgments, which is [10:55] the case here, or casual homalies or [10:57] off-the-cuff remarks. Um, it also [11:00] doesn't uh it doesn't cover his his [11:03] personal behavior or moral conduct. So, [11:05] he's not infallible. He can sin. He can [11:07] make mistakes like everyone else. Um, so [11:09] just to clear that up, okay, just to [11:11] just in case you're, you know, you're [11:13] shaking your head at at the at the [11:14] Catholics who believe in papal [11:16] infallibility and wondering how JD Vance [11:18] as a Catholic can disagree with the [11:19] pope. He can totally disagree with the [11:21] pope. Okay, so let's get back to this [11:22] clip now. Now, here's the Israel part to [11:26] respond to um this guy here. He said, J, [11:29] I believe he said the administration [11:31] supports a genocide in Gaza. And here's [11:34] my response to that. When we came in, [11:38] the humanitarian situation in Gaza was [11:40] an absolute catastrophe. You know who's [11:43] the person who got a peace agreement in [11:45] Gaza? Donald J. Trump. So if you want to [11:48] complain about what happened in Gaza [11:55] So if you want, sir, to complain about [11:58] what happened in Gaza, why don't you [11:59] complain about Joe Biden in the last [12:01] administration? We're the administration [12:03] that solved that problem. [12:09] And and and by the way, not only was our [12:12] administration like the administration [12:14] that solved the problem, but the pres [12:17] the the the the president, [12:20] >> excuse me, sir [12:22] >> right right now, right now you right now [12:26] you see more humanitarian aid coming [12:28] into Gaza than it has any time in the [12:31] past 5 years because we have taken that [12:33] situation seriously. ly and that's one [12:36] of the things that I'm proud of about [12:38] our administration is whether it's there [12:40] or Thailand and Cambodia, we have [12:43] consistently tried as much as we can to [12:47] solve these problems, not just complain [12:49] about them like the guy who just ran [12:50] away and [12:55] >> terrible answer from JD Vance. I have no [12:59] other way to say it. I just again I have [13:02] no other way to say this. This was a [13:05] terrible answer. Um you know if the if [13:10] the issue being raised is Israel's [13:12] committing a genocide in Gaza, [13:15] the answer should be no, they are not. [13:18] And JD Vance should have access to that [13:20] information. He should know that [13:21] information. It's nonsense. It's a uh [13:24] it's a blood liel. Uh, Israel's the [13:27] civilian to combatant casualty ratio in [13:30] Gaza is the lowest of any urban combat [13:33] situation in modern warfare history. [13:36] This has been talked about by people [13:38] like Colonel John Spencer who is the [13:40] number one leading expert on urban [13:42] warfare. He's the head of urban warfare [13:44] studies at West Point. Um, he is the [13:48] leading urban warfare expert. He's [13:50] written numerous articles about this [13:51] since October 7th about how Israel has [13:53] been remarkable in that regard. The [13:56] numbers that are publicized about [13:57] civilian casualties by the Hamas Health [13:59] Ministry or whatever have been exposed [14:01] already as a hoax. It's simply not true. [14:05] Besides the fact that because Hamas uses [14:07] the civilians as human shields, it [14:09] should be patently obvious that the [14:11] civilian casualties are not even [14:12] Israel's responsibility. It's the [14:14] furthest thing from a genocide. Here's a [14:15] little known fact. The population of [14:17] Gaza has actually grown since October [14:20] 7th. [14:21] Believe it or not, it has grown pretty [14:24] uh pretty ineffective genocide if there [14:26] ever was one. That's on the genocide [14:28] issue. He said that was a terrible [14:29] terrible answer by JD Vance because what [14:32] he basically said was when this kid [14:33] challenged and said that that there's a [14:35] genocide going on and they're killing [14:36] children and all that stuff, instead of [14:38] pushing back on this liel, he said, [14:41] "Well, if you don't like that, you [14:43] should complain to Joe Biden. were the [14:44] ones who stopped it from happening, [14:46] essentially conceding the point of [14:49] Israel committing a genocide um with [14:53] embedded in his answer. And that uh that [14:56] is a just again [15:00] not a very good answer. And it reminded [15:02] me of a different interaction at a [15:04] Turning Point USA event that JD Vance [15:06] had when asked about Israel when asked [15:09] about, you know, the and again it sounds [15:12] like on the surface that he's defending [15:13] Israel, but he really wasn't. Uh it was [15:16] he was asked about uh Israel controlling [15:18] the US government and and aid to Israel [15:20] and all that. So let's take a look at [15:22] that clip as well. Okay. So this is back [15:25] from this is from back in October. Okay. [15:31] Hold on. Let me uh let me make this [15:33] bigger for you. Here we go. So, this is [15:37] back in October. [15:38] >> I'm a Christian man and I'm just uh [15:41] confused why that there's this notion [15:43] that we uh might have or uh owe Israel [15:47] something or that they're our greatest [15:49] ally or that we have to support this [15:51] multiund billion dollar um foreign aid [15:56] package to Israel to cover this. to [15:58] quote Charlie Kirk, ethnic cleansing in [16:00] Gaza. Um, I'm just confused why this [16:04] idea has come around. Um, considering [16:08] the fact that not only does their [16:09] religion not agree with ours, but also [16:13] openly uh supports the prosecution of [16:16] ours. [16:17] >> Yeah. So, [16:20] let me [16:23] say things a few things about this. [16:24] First of all, when the president of the [16:25] United States says America first, that [16:27] means that he pursues the interests of [16:31] Americans first. That is our entire [16:33] foreign policy. And that doesn't mean [16:36] that you're not going to have alliances. [16:38] You're not going to work with other [16:39] countries from time to time. And that is [16:41] what the president believes is that [16:42] Israel sometimes they have similar [16:44] interests to the United States and we're [16:46] going to work with them in that case. [16:48] Sometimes they don't have similar [16:49] interests to the United States. And this [16:51] example, the most recent Gaza peace plan [16:53] that all of us have been working on very [16:55] hard for the past few weeks, the [16:57] president of the United States could [16:58] only get that peace deal done by [17:01] actually being willing to apply leverage [17:04] to the state of Israel. So when people [17:06] say that Israel is somehow manipulating [17:10] or controlling the president of the [17:12] United States, they're not controlling [17:14] this president of the United States, [17:15] which is one of the reasons why would be [17:17] able to have some of the success that [17:18] we've had in the Middle East. Now you [17:20] asked about, you know, sort of Jews [17:23] disagreeing with Christians on certain [17:24] religious ideas. Yeah, absolutely. It's [17:26] one of the realities is that Jews do not [17:28] believe that Jesus Christ is the [17:30] Messiah. Obviously, Christians do [17:32] believe that. There are some significant [17:33] theological disagreements between [17:35] Christians and Jews. My attitude is [17:38] let's have those conversations. Let's [17:40] have those disagreements when we have [17:41] them. But if there are shared areas of [17:43] interest, we ought to be willing to do [17:45] that, too. For example, I really care [17:48] about, one thing I really, really care [17:50] about is the preservation of the church [17:52] of the holy supplr in Jerusalem. [17:54] Christians believe that that is the site [17:57] where Jesus Christ was crucified and [18:00] also that his tomb is is is right there [18:02] as well. My attitude is if we can work [18:05] with our friends in Israel to make sure [18:08] that Christians have safe access to that [18:10] site, that's an obvious area of common [18:12] interest. I am fine with that. What I'm [18:14] not okay with is any country coming [18:16] before the interests of American [18:18] citizens. And it is important for all of [18:20] us, assuming we're American citizens, to [18:23] put the interest of our own country [18:24] first. [18:26] Okay, this was also an absolutely [18:32] despicable answer. There's no other way [18:34] to say it. Let me explain. Okay, first [18:37] of all, let's deal with the aid issue [18:39] briefly. I've talked about this many [18:40] times before. I should probably make [18:42] more videos about it. Um, and if you go [18:44] to my ex account, rabbi pw on X, I think [18:47] there's the pinned post is still a piece [18:49] that I wrote for the Jerusalem Post [18:51] about the aid issue months ago. I think [18:53] I leave it there. It's an important [18:55] piece. [18:57] Oh, this kid talks about hundreds of [18:58] billions of dollars in aid to Israel. [18:59] Okay, let's make let's set the record [19:01] straight. The aid package to Israel is [19:04] $3.8 billion a year. And that is the [19:09] largest it's ever been. And we're [19:12] getting near the end. In 2028 will be [19:14] the end of a 10-year memorandum of [19:16] understanding, $3.8 billion a year, [19:18] which means over the course of a decade, [19:20] it was 38 billion dollars a year. And [19:23] just for for comparison's sake, just to [19:25] uh um [19:28] you know to understand what [19:31] you know what that is in terms of [19:32] spending, the US spends on NATO. every [19:37] year on NATO. The US spends [19:39] approximately two every year in two in [19:43] 2025, the US spent approximately 200 [19:47] billion dollars on NATO. 200 billion and [19:50] they spend $3.8 billion [19:54] dollars a year. So, [19:57] uh just under 2% of what they spend on [20:01] NATO, the US spends on its alliance with [20:03] Israel. Okay, put that in perspective in [20:06] terms of what's going on now in the [20:08] Middle East, in terms of in terms of [20:10] Israel's strategic alliance with [20:11] America. So, it's just a So, first of [20:14] all, the kid's wrong. It's not hundreds [20:15] of billions of dollars. Um, so there's [20:17] that. That's that's point number one. [20:20] Point number two was when Vance said, [20:25] you know, people claim that uh, you [20:26] know, Israel controls the the US [20:28] president. Well, he doesn't. Well, they [20:29] don't control this US president. That [20:31] was a that was that was a a horrific [20:35] answer because the implication is that [20:38] Israel does control US presidents and [20:41] that Israel has has done so in the past [20:43] but they don't control this US [20:45] president. The correct answer would be [20:46] Israel doesn't control the US government [20:49] at all because it doesn't. There's an [20:51] alliance. There's shared interest. He [20:53] did say there's shared interests [20:54] sometimes. There's other times there's [20:55] not shared interest. That should have [20:56] been the whole answer. Israel doesn't [20:58] control the US government. When the [20:59] president decides that it's in the US [21:01] interests to go along with what Israel [21:04] wants, then there you go. But saying [21:06] they don't control this president [21:08] implies that they control others. [21:10] Terrible answer, lialist answer to [21:12] Israel. And finally, and this is the [21:13] most despicable when he talks about that [21:16] that we want to, you know, I care a lot [21:18] about the church of the holy supplr and [21:19] and I believe in working together with [21:21] the Israelis to ensure that Christians [21:23] have access to the church of the holy [21:24] supplr. Are you out of your mind? Think [21:26] of what the implication there is. that [21:28] you need to work. Do you think that that [21:30] the that if if the Americans didn't work [21:32] with the Israelis, if you didn't if you [21:34] didn't like lobby the Israelis or [21:36] negotiate with them that you wouldn't [21:38] have easy access to Christian holy [21:39] sites? Are you out of your M? That's the [21:41] implication here. You don't have to work [21:43] with the Israelis to ensure that [21:45] Christians have access to the Church of [21:46] the Holy Supplr. [21:48] Israel makes sure that religious sites [21:52] of other religions are open and freely [21:55] accessed and are well-maintained and [21:56] taken care of and protected. Israel [21:58] protects Christian holy sites not [22:00] because of some accommodation with the [22:03] Americans and because you've worked with [22:04] us. So, the implications of all of this [22:07] in in Vance and going back to the, you [22:09] know, to the first quote, uh, the first [22:11] clip that I played from just a couple [22:12] days ago, um, you know, about the [22:15] genocide in Gaza, uh, it this is very [22:19] disturbing. It's also very disturbing to [22:21] listen to these kids. We've talked about [22:22] this. There's a video that we just [22:24] uploaded um, uh, yesterday [22:28] um, about or recently, depending on when [22:31] this one comes out. There was a video we [22:33] just uploaded which had a piece of a [22:35] focus group of young Gen Z Christians um [22:39] some who are who are Zionists and some [22:41] who are anti-ionist [22:43] and you hear it there again you hear it [22:45] all over the place this this uh this [22:47] charge against Israel of committing [22:49] genocide in Gaza has really taken root [22:52] even on the American right um and uh and [22:55] it's terrible I mean it's a really a [22:57] huge propaganda success by Israel's [22:59] enemies and to see JD Vance not pushing [23:02] back on that was very disappointing. [23:07] So, I don't know what to say. I just uh [23:09] you know, I think we're there is reason [23:12] for concern when it comes to JD Vance's [23:15] understanding of the USIsrael [23:16] relationship from his understanding of [23:18] Israel's behavior. Um and uh yeah, [23:22] again, like I said, it was just a little [23:23] bit disappointing [23:25] uh from the vice president. All right, [23:27] thanks for watching.
