WATCH FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/N6dEZvyDsNg Subscribe Here: @JulianDoreyDaily --- JD Vance is the Vice President of the United States. He was a vocal critic of foreign military intervention when he was an Ohio Senator. He went on Joe Rogan and accused elements of the Israeli government of running a foreign influence campaign to sabotage America's Iran diplomacy. He warned that regime change in Iran would unleash 94 million refugees. He said there is no chance the United States ends up in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight. And then he was confronted with his previous statements and explained his reversal by saying that the difference between now and then is that we now have a smart president whereas before we had dumb presidents. Julian Dorey watches all of it and brings you the most honest and most complete assessment of what JD Vance is actually doing on Iran that you will find anywhere. Is he flipping? Is he playing a calculated 2028 game? Is he the only senior figure in the Trump administration willing to say publicly what Joe Kent was fired for saying? Or is he doing what he has always done — positioning himself to emerge from any outcome with his political brand intact while maintaining plausible deniability on every side of the argument? The Rogan interview is essential context. Vance told Rogan that he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that people within the Israeli government were trying to shift American policy away from the Iran diplomacy because they want to continue the military campaign. He named a Time Magazine report documenting a foreign influence campaign funded to tank the MOU he was pursuing. He accused unnamed hawkish Republicans of lying about the terms of the deal. These are not the statements of a loyal team player dutifully executing the administration's foreign policy. They are the statements of someone making a very deliberate and very public argument about who is responsible for the failure of American Iran diplomacy — and pointing the finger at Israel. Julian Dorey places all of this in the context of what he has documented about the Iran war — the Joe Kent resignation, the Israeli red line movement, the poison pill in the negotiations, and the question of whether the administration's Iran policy has ever been fully under American control. The JD Vance question is not whether he is flipping. It is whether he is telling the truth — and what the answer to that question reveals about everything else. **Inside This Clip:** - Julian Dorey's full reaction to the Joe Rogan JD Vance interview and the Iran flip narrative - Vance's history on Iran — from anti-war senator to administration defender to Rogan critic of Israeli influence - What Vance said on Rogan about Israeli officials trying to tank American Iran diplomacy - The 94 million refugee warning and whether Vance's argument against regime change holds up - Whether Vance is making a principled anti-war argument or positioning himself for 2028 - The Bloomberg and New Republic analyses of Vance's calculated political retreat - How Vance's Rogan interview connects to Joe Kent's resignation and the broader Iran accountability story - Why Vance's explanation for his flip — "we now have a smart president" — raises more questions than it answers - What the Israeli influence campaign Vance named on Rogan actually is and whether it is documented - Julian's verdict on whether JD Vance is flipping hero calculating opportunist or something more complicated This is the JD Vance Iran flip examined with the honesty and the context that the mainstream coverage has consistently failed to provide. ***TIMESTAMPS*** 00:00 - Rogan Had No Pre-Approved Questions 01:59 - Jack Posobiec Appears to Lie About Kirk Evidence 05:05 - Joe Kent & Kirk Investigation Optics 05:57 - Charlie Kirk Blowback 13:36 - Julian's Phone Call With Baron Coleman 18:00 - Julian's Initial Thoughts on Vance Rogan Podcast 23:13 - JD Vance's Quagmire 27:50 - Joe Kent's Reaction to Vance Podcast 28:28 - Vance on Iran War's Main Goal & Being a Commentator 32:34 - Ben Shapiro Meltdown 35:07 - Vance's Talking Point & Funded Campaigns Against Iran Deal 38:12 - Vance's Diplomatic Approach to Israel 43:26 - Vance vs Rubio & Israeli Influence 45:40 - Vance Addresses Epstein Files Mistakes & NYT Situation Room Scandal 49:08 - JD Vance on Epstein Blackmail & Trump 54:10 - Epstein & Trump --- @JulianDoreyDaily
