In this episode, we discuss the latest on the Iran nuclear deal and whether or not it is a good deal for the United States. We also talk about why we should be worried about foreign entanglements after 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.
00:00:12.000I would definitely have a problem with Donald Trump if Donald Trump lied to the American public and this administration had direct involvement in attacking Iran.
00:01:51.000It's a long post, so I'll have to scroll it.
00:01:54.000Okay, and I think I'll just read kind of the first part.
00:01:56.000I don't know if you can see it there or not, but look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and I am admittedly biased towards our president and my friend, but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly.
00:02:07.000He's been amazingly consistent over 10 years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:02:12.000And we'll provide the receipts, references, always available in every description for each show.
00:02:34.000The second point is the enrichment part of it.
00:02:37.000It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy.
00:02:40.000It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity.
00:02:42.000And it's still another thing to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.
00:03:06.000Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.
00:03:12.000He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment.
00:03:18.000That decision ultimately belongs to the president, and of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.
00:03:26.000That is a nod to everybody who's saying we don't want to do this again.
00:03:36.000But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue.
00:03:40.000And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals.
00:04:08.000I did vote for reducing foreign entanglements, but I really did vote for dealing with the immigration issue.
00:04:14.000I really did vote for freedom for Americans, freedom of speech, and I voted to reverse the course of our economy, which was moving towards, by and large, centralization and basically the elimination of American Americans.
00:04:31.000Foreign entanglements are a part of that.
00:04:32.000And I will say that him being the most anti-war president of my lifetime is pretty good.
00:05:26.000Cernovich said Trump had a generational coalition.
00:05:28.000He was the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades, and now he's squandering it for Lindsey Graham.
00:05:34.000Marty R. Maid said, Trump allying with the people who signed the Never Trump letter and spent years calling him Hitler against his organic working and middle class base, people who were ridiculed, harassed, and physically attacked for supporting him is a betrayal of Shakespearean proportions.
00:06:51.000It's a disaster, and we have to protect Israel.
00:06:54.000I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
00:07:00.000So before he was running for president, 2011 was very clear.
00:07:03.000By the way, at the same time was against the war in Iraq, and while running for the presidency, said that he was always against the war in Iraq.
00:07:09.000At that same moment in time, saying Iran can't achieve the nuclear enrichment to be able to have nuclear weapons, and then running for president, said the same thing.
00:08:20.000Now, how that looks, and I'll tell you how it looks to me, I don't want to see...
00:08:27.000But I think saying an American life lost for Israel is very different from saying a strategic military operation to quell a nuclear capability for a terrorist nation.
00:09:13.000I don't want one plane going over that country right now either.
00:09:16.000I don't want to get involved in any way, shape or form.
00:09:18.000I don't want a plane getting shot down, false flag or not, for all the people out there who may say that, to get us into a war.
00:09:24.000But sending assets over to the region is not the same as attacking.
00:09:29.000Look at everything that Donald Trump has done.
00:09:31.000And look, if he ends up going and completely fooling us all and he's sending ground troops into Iran and he's going to try to do a regime change in Tehran, fine.
00:09:39.000I'll come back on and I'll say, I am so sorry.
00:09:53.000Having that asset in the region makes it a hell of a lot more likely that they could get involved.
00:09:58.000If he doesn't sign a deal, this could just all be, like Donald Trump has done in the past, part of negotiations for him.
00:10:06.000And everybody that is running to the exits because they're afraid that Donald Trump is going to get us into a foreign war needs to just chill out a second and think about who they're talking about.
00:10:17.000Well, anyone saying that right now Americans are dying for Israel is being a fool.
00:10:30.000I've seen, is it the USS Nimitz that was played over there?
00:10:33.000So I've seen, this is a perfect example of where people take something that logically makes sense, and if they're starting off with the premise, ooh, it's Israel, it's Jew influence, they come to a conclusion that frankly defies reason.
00:11:02.000Qatar, we have so many bases over there.
00:11:04.000What they're saying is, those right now who have no bases for this thing, oh, the Nimitz is our oldest in that fleet and is set to be decommissioned next year.
00:11:12.000So that, he's sending that so it can be destroyed as a false flag.
00:11:15.000Or, or, the most logical explanation could be, since we are not involved, go like, yeah, alright, it's kind of no skin off our nose, this thing's about to be decommissioned next year, yeah, we can send that to some friends to keep an eye on it.
00:11:30.000That he's sending something about to be decommissioned a year from now so that the Israelis can take it out like the USS Liberty, according to these people, as a false flag to get us into World War III?
00:11:38.000Or, ah, it's the least valuable one in our fleet, and since it's not really our conflict, ah, let's send him a gimme.
00:12:25.000I wish I had something intelligent to say about it, but it's just straight goofy.
00:12:29.000Well, and it would be completely like if the Hodge twins, and I love those guys, but sometimes they have some ideas that I don't really love.
00:12:35.000If those guys, Ian Carroll's of the world, Dave Smith's and Candace Jones, if Cernovich, if they had gotten in, it's Martyr Made.
00:12:56.000If what they were doing right now is saying, we don't support a war in Iran, and we do not want to have any Americans at war in Iran and the Middle East.
00:13:06.000If that's what they were saying right now and kind of raising that alarm, we would all be in agreement.
00:13:47.000I don't know exactly, but I think pretty strongly, because I don't ask people how they vote.
00:13:52.000And Donald Trump in 2011 and in 2015, as part of his announcement, his party, his homecoming party, hey, he's running for president, went out of his way to speak about how he would stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
00:14:07.000That was one of his, I would say, top five issues he was most vocal on and criticizing the Obama administration.
00:14:16.000He would talk about what a bad deal it was and how Barack Obama had no idea how to make a deal.
00:14:20.000So from 2011, 2015, all the way through his first administration, by the way, when you look at the undoing of Obama's policies, which Biden then undid, unfreezing cash to Iran, he's been remarkably consistent.
00:14:39.000Now, you may not like his 2011 position, 2015 position, or his position today.
00:14:44.000Of course, that's a fair position to hold But is it Or is it disingenuous of someone to say, you know, I was on the MAGA train, but he's turned on us because now he says Iran's a threat.
00:14:59.000That sounds to me like it's your fault that you didn't know where he stood.
00:15:02.000And it's your fault for misinforming your audience if you ever even so much as implied that Donald Trump held any position other than Iran can't get a nuke.
00:15:15.000And I also think it's just anti-Israel bias.
00:15:18.000And you can have a very reasonable point that Israel potentially would want to drag us into a war for regime change because it would solve a lot of their problems.
00:15:27.000I think that's a reasonable point to make.
00:15:28.000And I think if we ever had evidence of them trying to draw us into this war in a very tangible way, then we should take dramatic action against that.
00:15:37.000Like, if there was a false flag event, I mean, look, you go back to the USS Liberty thing, we can talk about that ad nauseum, but that was, what, 1960-something?
00:15:44.000We're not talking about present day stuff right now.
00:17:08.000It's exactly the same as the IAEA on Iraq and Iran.
00:17:13.000They said Iraq is not nuclear capable.
00:17:16.000Donald Trump was against the war in Iraq.
00:17:18.000They have now said that Iran is weeks away from being to the point of the capabilities of developing a nuke.
00:17:25.000If this was not a point of contention for a very long time, then you wouldn't have Barack Obama's Iran nuclear deal, which Donald Trump campaigned on criticizing.
00:17:36.000The world has been concerned about Iran having a nuke for decades.
00:18:42.000For example, I think we need to be able to see what they're doing, what they're up to as far as nukes.
00:18:46.000I do think that there's some uncomfortable ties as far as intelligence and Mossad.
00:18:51.000I would say the same about the CIA and FBI.
00:18:53.000Remember when I asked candidates saying, will you disband?
00:18:57.000Our three-letter agencies, because that's kind of a prerequisite, or at least destroy them and build them up as something new.
00:19:03.000I would apply the same criticism toward Mossad.
00:19:07.000But I also don't think that they are the worst enemy of the United States in contrast to Iran, which some people are making right now.
00:19:14.000I think that's a view that most Americans have, and I would point you to the poll that says 84% of Americans agree that Iran must never be allowed to have a nuke.
00:19:25.000And let me just clear up a couple of things, too.
00:19:27.000So, one, we're not depending on the IAEA alone.
00:20:17.000Once they get to that threshold, then they protect it with everything they have so that they can get to work building a bomb.
00:20:24.000And I think Lane told us there was like a 12-year gap between the enrichment of uranium getting to the right point in North Korea until they had a delivery mechanism essentially for it.
00:20:33.000I can't remember if that was the right number of years, but it's a process.
00:20:39.000I mean, can they not be building a bomb now without the uranium to insert into the warhead?
00:20:44.000We're trying to use the most conservative.
00:20:46.000In other words, provide the most amount of, like, hey, maybe not.
00:20:48.000But, and by the way, a big difference too between North Korea and Iran, it's almost a difference between, An isolationist and a caliphate.
00:20:58.000We're not going to be able to tell North Korea anything right now, just to be clear.
00:21:01.000But it seems, and Elaine and I were talking about this, it seems like they have an interest in preserving their own nation, and of course there's also China between us and them who kind of have an interest in North Korea not acting up too much.
00:21:24.000North Korea doesn't seem like they want to, so the contrast matters because of their stated intent.
00:21:30.000Yeah, and what if I told you as Christians, maybe this will help make the point, obviously as Christians we're waiting for the second coming of Christ, unless you're a preterist and there's like five of those people, so whatever.
00:21:38.000I've been arguing with you on Twitter.
00:21:39.000You think, okay, we're waiting on the second coming of Christ.
00:21:42.000And when that happens, justice, peace, tranquility, the world is going to be fantastic, every tear is wiped from your eye, all of those wonderful things.
00:21:51.000What if I told you that all you had to do was start global conflict to make the second coming of Christ return or happen?
00:21:56.000Like, that was the trigger moment for it.
00:21:59.000You'd be like, well, maybe it's good to start global conflict so that we can have the second coming and have heaven on earth.
00:22:04.000Heaven on earth is a lot better than hell on earth that we have right now.
00:22:06.000That's an apocalyptic kind of ideology.
00:22:54.000Yeah, I think it's probably best if Iran doesn't have nuclear capabilities.
00:22:59.000I think 80-something percent of it, 84% of Americans agree with that.
00:23:03.000Right now, no one is dying for Israel.
00:23:05.000And by the way, if there is a strategic military strike, let's say there's an opportunity to guarantee that they don't reach these nuclear capabilities, that still doesn't mean that Americans are dying for Israel.
00:23:19.000Different people can have similar interests.
00:23:22.000It doesn't mean that it's being done for Israel.
00:23:24.000If we're pressured into it, like Gerald said, if we're boxed in, that's a problem, and us and the Jews in that country need to have a little bit of a talk.
00:23:34.000My main issue is, it's your fault if you didn't know that Donald Trump has always said and maintained that Iran should not be able to get a nuke, and he will do everything in his power to stop it.
00:23:47.000Just like I had to hold my nose on some of the gun issues because I know that Donald Trump is not the best Second Amendment president as far as his track record.
00:25:06.000I don't want my words to be misconstrued.
00:25:07.000I actually have one neighbor named Steve who, by the way, we went and had these to get a fence because our dogs were able to get through the holes.
00:25:29.000I got a line on a few fully automatic weapons that can't be tracked, and as soon as I get them, I'm lighting up this block, just letting you know all of you can kiss your ass goodbye.
00:26:10.000But then let's say that you had a rocket where you knew you could take out bad Steve, even though you're ten houses down.
00:26:16.000Does that mean you're doing the bidding of Bob?
00:26:18.000Or do both of you not want Steve, who has said he will kill you when he procures these weapons?
00:26:23.000Do you just happen to have an aligned interest?
00:26:25.000We need to be able to differentiate between the two.
00:26:28.000Because, yes, sometimes we have done bidding that are not in the American people's interest.
00:26:34.000Is it in the interest of the United States of America to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon?
00:26:40.000I think there's a strong case to be made, but there can be no debate that Donald Trump absolutely believes that's in the best interest of America.
00:26:48.000So you can say you don't agree with it.
00:26:49.000You can't say that he lied to you, that he's a traitor, or that he's not America first.
00:26:54.000His decision, or his viewpoint, I should say, That Iran should not have a nuke, ever.
00:27:02.000Has always been predicated on his view of putting America first.
00:27:54.000I mean, listen, I know that there are a lot of people that get, you know, rightfully worried about Israel and their influence on American politics and whether we're being led into wars by Israel.
00:28:23.000But let's also not let this idea that Israel is always going to be nefarious and bad and demonic, I've seen some people say, and go after it.
00:28:32.000Let's not let that cloud what we have known since...
00:28:42.000And by the way, AIPAC should have to register under FISA, and so should any organizations receiving their money from Qatar, from Saudi Arabia, or get it all out.
00:30:26.000And Ukraine didn't start necessarily, obviously, with Russia, but they need to be able to do things themselves, in my opinion, because they haven't negotiated.
00:30:43.000I don't know, but I also understand why it's charged.
00:30:44.000I also understand why people could view that as if you're selling, you're incentivizing their behavior if they're going to continue starting wars.
00:30:53.000I think it's a legitimate argument to be made that selling weapons to Israel gives them no reason to try and seek more peaceful negotiations.
00:31:01.000It gives them the ability to negotiate from a position of strength that they wouldn't otherwise.
00:31:12.000If we want Iran's nuclear program to stop, we want them in a position of strength.
00:31:16.000Why would we not sell them the bombs to go do this?
00:31:18.000Why do you think that other Gulf states and why do you think that even Hezbollah are like, yeah, you guys should probably...
00:31:23.000No one wants Iran to be a nuclear capability, including the people in the world, these countries in the world that are largely Islamic countries.
00:31:30.000They don't want it because Iran is a...
00:32:15.000They do hate us and they do hate Israel.
00:32:16.000And it's about if they do get nuclear capabilities, creating a whole bunch of instability, which could actually, unlike the people earlier this week who were.
00:32:25.000If Iran had a nuke, you could potentially be looking at World War III because this is not just a nuclear power, but it would be the first time in recent memory who sought out the ability to become a nuclear power with the express interest of waging nuclear war.
00:32:39.000So that would create a scenario that could absolutely lead to World War III.
00:32:44.000I did say they don't have the capabilities.
00:34:21.000Where you can't say anything that could even have a whiff of anti-Semitism.
00:34:24.000But when it comes to the actual conflict, because they're also Marxists and they're also liberals, like, yeah, but we also really don't like Israel because their whole view of the world is oppressed versus oppressor.
00:34:32.000And, you know, Israel actually has modern technology.
00:34:35.000They really don't want to get tangled in this because of their history and they feel like there's no good play.
00:34:39.000That's been pretty consistent for Europe.
00:34:41.000They're a bunch of pussies and they've never gotten it right.
00:34:47.000They were trying to show that kind of back and forth.
00:34:49.000It says that she's on the same page with the administration and, quote, President Trump was saying the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March.
00:34:57.000Unfortunately, too many people in the media don't care to actually read what I said.
00:35:02.000So people have been trying to paint her as, Yeah, between her.
00:35:07.000Basically, she said that they are not currently seeking, I believe.
00:35:32.000Her counter is saying, like, if you just actually read my entire statement...
00:35:37.000Because she did say that, yeah, we need to make sure they don't become a nuclear threat.
00:35:41.000And by the way, you need to know what they're saying when seeing those in the media.
00:35:49.000The most anti-war, the most effective administration, Republican administration, in dealing with the border, in dealing with leftist policies here in this country, they're calling out the media, and they're not calling out the leftist media.
00:36:06.000They're calling out those on the right online who are misrepresenting this.
00:36:12.000For a Republican like Donald Trump and Vance, for them to say, hold on, hold on a second, people in the media, meaning you, the people who we just listed, you're misrepresenting what we've said.
00:36:24.000This is the first time that I can remember a conservative or right-leaning Republican administration having to call out media falsehoods from the right that are, by the way, factually false.
00:36:46.000That makes the right the actual purveyor of fake news.
00:36:52.000No matter your opinion, let's also be accurate.
00:36:54.000That's why I'm trying to laser in on you cannot be mad at Donald Trump saying he's a traitor or demand his impeachment for doing exactly what he has always said he would do.
00:37:04.000This is the first time I can think of an administration like this having to call out almost exclusively people on the right for misinformation.
00:37:10.000So we have the full statement from Tulsi Gabbard.
00:37:17.000Cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data.
00:37:23.000The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.
00:37:33.000The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.
00:37:40.000In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus.
00:37:51.000Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.
00:38:20.000This is not some administration that's just doing this for funsies.
00:38:24.000So that's not at odds at all with what the president is saying.
00:38:28.000And basically what Caitlin Collins said was, Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intel community said that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.
00:38:37.000Sure, no one was saying they were building a nuclear weapon at that moment in time.
00:38:41.000It's, are they moving toward achieving the materials they need, enriched uranium, so that they can start?
00:38:46.000But still, that's not exactly what she said.
00:38:47.000She said there's no indication, there is no evidence.
00:38:59.000And by the way, that's also a job interview for a national security position, where she can't say, by the way, yeah, I'm going to mess up Iran.
00:39:28.000And I think a big reason for that is, and my grandfather was in the Air Force, he used to say, you need things to be classified.
00:39:33.000He said certain things, absolutely, when it comes to war, need to be classified.
00:39:37.000I think a lot of presidents go in, they say they're anti-war, and then they have the first national security briefing and go, get my brown pants.
00:39:44.000And I think that if you're going to talk about someone who's held really the most steadfast, it'd be a tough argument for anyone else other than Donald Trump.
00:40:48.000Nigerians are going to stop cutting the heads off of Christians, which they just murdered 200, I think, in the last week, a couple of days ago, we saw that story.
00:40:54.000Like, you think that's going to happen?
00:40:56.000You think the people in other places around the globe are just going to all of a sudden go, oh, man, you know what?
00:41:04.000Also, if we just do that right now, even the Gulf states that are not supportive of Iran, if we just did it, they might all of a sudden become.
00:41:10.000If we've warned them and said, do not attack any Americans, and we've done everything to get our people to safety, and Iran does it anyway, guess what?
00:41:18.000In that world, a lot of these Gulf states that don't want to deal with Iran, don't want them to have a nuke, they still don't.
00:41:23.000But if the United States goes in and starts bombing right now, as it seems from what you're saying Dave Rubin is suggesting, you might create some unlikely allies.
00:41:31.000So I do think that the approach of, hey, keep us out of it here, don't go after our people.
00:41:37.000And we're not going to get involved is an important posture to take.
00:42:19.000Anyone else think the cartels are paying kickbacks to the politicians slash their allies to allow selling people into slavery and that the extra money helping to pay for the riots?
00:42:42.000What you just laid out, where cartels are paying kickbacks to politicians to go to NGOs to make money off of sex slaves and give it to riots, or something really simple that Tom Holman really did hone in on, buy and change the census rule because they want to buy votes in seats.
00:43:01.000If Donald Trump didn't change that census rule, if that census rule continued, it's a guarantee that that happens.
00:43:08.000It's a backdoor to actually change the electoral process without even necessarily having illegal aliens vote.
00:43:17.000Before we even get there, we now change the map.
00:43:20.000We now change the seats, the representation, because illegal aliens have a vested interest.
