00:00:25.420 the day-to-day status of negotiations may be touch and go but it looks like the trump
00:00:32.220 administration is doing everything it can to reach a deal and end the conflict with iran
00:00:36.620 the war may have had solid support from donald trump's fox news oriented voters but remained
00:00:42.300 unpopular with the rest of the country the conflict lost trump several high-profile supporters but it
00:00:48.040 did earn him the favor of a set of political operators who had previously despised him
00:00:53.500 Several opponents who had declared themselves never Trump suddenly discovered a strange new
00:00:58.900 respect for the president once they believed he was willing to launch regime change wars in the
00:01:03.780 Middle East. Those fair-weathered allies are now melting down in epic fashion over the prospect
00:01:09.760 of peace between America and Iran. In its farewell address, George Washington wisely warned his
00:01:15.980 fledgling nation that foreign entanglements were dangerous to the freedom and independence of the
00:01:20.900 republic. The first president encouraged economic trade with all, but cautioned that extended
00:01:26.040 alliances and favored nations were a mistake. Washington said that favoring a nation would
00:01:31.360 encourage foreign influence and drive some citizens to mistake loyalty to the favored ally
00:01:37.000 with loyalty to the United States itself. No event has shown the wisdom of that advice as
00:01:42.860 clearly as the war with Iran. Donald Trump immediately stood out in the conservative
00:01:47.880 arena with three positions that were extremely popular with the base but very dangerous to the
00:01:53.380 political establishment. The future president stood against open borders, unfettered trade,
00:01:59.040 and endless regime change wars. Republican politicians, conservative pundits, and D.C.
00:02:04.240 think tanks loathed Trump for all of these positions but especially his stance on war.
00:02:10.160 Never-ending conflict created job security and huge income streams for much of the permanent
00:02:15.620 Washington establishment, and they did not appreciate this reality television star barging
00:02:21.880 in to upset their gravy train. Plenty of neoconservatives immediately abandoned the GOP 0.66
00:02:28.280 once it became clear that Trump wasn't going anywhere. But the Warhawk establishment had
00:02:33.280 deep roots in the Republican Party, and many stayed. The neoconservatives realized that they
00:02:38.720 could have more sway with Trump if they pretended to be converts to the MAGA movement and work from
00:02:43.920 within to steer the policy direction. Several figures who swore they would never support Trump
00:02:49.660 started to bill themselves as his greatest champions in the hope that this would allow
00:02:54.280 them to dictate what MAGA should become. When the war with Iran began, these neoconservative
00:03:00.560 champions viciously attacked anyone who pointed out that this stood in contradiction to Trump's
00:03:06.740 previous stance on foreign policy. They came up with slurs to label their opponents as traitors
00:03:12.520 to the president and pushed the idea that total ideological conformity was the only acceptable
00:03:18.040 position. This attempt to create a rigid binary worked, driving many anti-interventionists away
00:03:24.420 from their previous support for the president. This only made it more hilarious when Trump
00:03:28.840 decided to end the conflict and all of these new allies suddenly attacked him in a pure blind rage.
00:03:36.700 America and Israel entered into their conflict with Iran with very different goals.
00:03:41.700 For the United States, the only real concern was preventing Iran from having the capacity to produce a nuclear weapon.
00:03:49.040 It's unlikely that an Iranian nuke could ever even threaten the states, 0.89
00:03:53.320 but it's best to keep people who hate you from obtaining that capacity, and Iran certainly qualified. 0.99
00:03:59.060 Israel, on the other hand, saw Iran as an existential threat that had to be taken completely off the table. 0.89
00:04:05.380 Benjamin Netanyahu's goal was always to collapse the current Iranian regime
00:04:09.440 and either replace it entirely or simply let the country become a failed state. 0.64
00:04:14.480 Today, summer belongs to the super.
00:04:17.400 Your powers are going to start kicking in right about now.
00:04:21.700 This does not look like this is going to end well.
00:04:24.720 For you guys.
00:04:26.340 Oh, savage, I knew it.
00:04:28.340 Supergirl arrives.
00:04:29.920 What Superman like?
00:04:31.040 He sees the good in everyone.
00:04:33.220 And I see the truth.
00:04:36.160 We haven't been formally introduced.
00:04:37.720 As Marco Rubio announced after the war had begun,
00:04:47.140 it was Israel that insisted on beginning the fight knowing that it would force the U.S. to join.
00:04:53.000 The two allies were out of step from the very beginning,
00:04:55.480 so it's no surprise that Netanyahu has done everything to disrupt the peace process
00:04:59.340 and achieve all the military goals he possibly can
00:05:02.400 while still under the protection of the American armed forces.
00:05:05.560 The reaction in Israel to Trump's pursuit of peace has not been one of gratitude.
00:05:10.780 The president's popularity in the foreign nation has plummeted,
00:05:14.340 with headlines about Trump betraying Israel splashed across the country's newspapers.
00:05:19.000 One media figure in Israel even said that America should receive another 9-11-style terror attack
00:05:25.040 so the public would be scared into fighting Iran.
00:05:28.600 The reaction of hardcore Israel supporters in America hasn't been any better.
00:05:33.320 Figures like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, who left the NeverTrump camp to push for war, are now turning against Trump.
00:05:40.340 At times, they attempt to hide their hatred by blaming Vice President J.D. Vance for the peace deal, but no one is deceived by this tactic.
00:05:48.240 Men like Shapiro and Levin push relentlessly for a conflict that had little to do with the interests of the U.S.
00:05:54.720 Once they got the conflict they wanted, neoconservatives fully expected military escalation to force Trump into the wider regime change war they desperately desired.
00:06:05.600 Very few presidents would have had the fortitude to exit the Iran war once they realized that it was unwise.
00:06:12.800 But Trump is one of them, and the neoconservatives will never forgive him for that outrage.
00:06:17.980 It turns out all the rhetoric about loyalty to Trump was a complete farce.
00:06:22.220 the neoconservatives always hated Trump and his voters, despite their change in tone after his
00:06:28.120 second election. Most of the pundits who praised Trump during the Iran war were trying to replace
00:06:33.480 the president with Ron DeSantis in the primary. The people who believed their rhetoric and followed
00:06:39.100 their example were foolish, and they are notably silent now that the neoconservatives are losing 0.99
00:06:44.820 their mind and turning on the president. So what is to be learned from this unwise detour into 0.99
00:06:50.940 foreign adventurism well first americans don't have any interest in extended foreign conflicts
00:06:57.400 they elected trump to address the crisis that our country is facing at home not to fix the middle
00:07:03.360 east they don't want extended wars maybe a quick successful military operation like venezuela is
00:07:09.640 acceptable but anything else is simply not on the table second george washington was right about
00:07:15.860 entangling alliances abroad. Israel is its own country with its own priorities and it only cares 0.87
00:07:22.340 about the U.S. to the extent that our country can help them achieve those priorities. I don't blame
00:07:28.180 them for that, that's totally normal, but that's why we were warned against this. It is unwise to
00:07:33.700 enter a war with an ally that does not share your interests. Third, the neoconservatives are not our
00:07:40.760 domestic political allies they have no loyalty to trump or to the mega base and will turn on you
00:07:47.080 the minute they think you are no longer serving their purposes they are not reliable it is not
00:07:53.840 how you win because at the end of the day neoconservatives will betray you for their own
00:07:59.640 priorities every single time stop allying with the neoconservatives they will always betray you
00:08:07.080 in the end.
