00:00:13.780
president donald trump has made it clear from the start a nuclear armed iran is unacceptable
00:00:20.060
but until just recently very few people were paying attention to the issue in march director
00:00:25.360
of national intelligence tulsi gabbard testified that while iran was enriching a suspicious amount
00:00:31.060
of uranium it lacked a viable weapons program let alone a bomb at the same time left-wing agitators
00:00:38.300
were trying to spread immigration riots from la to the rest of the country trump stayed focused on the
00:00:43.600
domestic agenda his voters demanded israel's unilateral and sudden strike on iran threatened
00:00:49.760
to drag the united states into another foreign war and derail trump's progress at home
00:00:54.780
now that the u.s has carried out a precision strike and set back iran's nuclear program it's
00:01:00.980
time for trump to return his full attention to rescuing america from joe biden's open border
00:01:05.800
catastrophe every presidency is a race against time political capital and public attention
00:01:12.740
trump understood from the outset how easily foreign entanglements especially in the middle east
00:01:18.460
can swallow an administration that's one of the reasons that the mega base has remained loyal
00:01:23.720
trump prioritizes domestic issues most presidents ignore while playing global policeman even while
00:01:30.140
negotiating with iran trump kept his focus on immigration he battled leftist protesters and rogue
00:01:35.800
judges at home while keeping his eye on foreign threats but nearly two years after the terrorist
00:01:41.440
attacks of october 7th israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saw the window for war with iran
00:01:46.900
closing israel launched an initial strike on june 13th without american approval supporters insisted
00:01:54.100
that israel could finish the job alone that was welcome news to trump's base which feared any new
00:02:00.480
conflict in the middle east would derail his domestic policy blitz but then the neoconservatives
00:02:06.040
started moving the goalposts suddenly it wasn't just about airstrikes it was about regime change
00:02:11.380
trump eventually approved the use of u.s bunker buster bombs believing them essential to destroy
00:02:17.820
uranium enrichment sites buried deep in iran's mountains u.s forces entered and exited iranian
00:02:24.920
airspace without incident delivering their payloads both sides issued conflicting reports about the
00:02:31.260
strike's efficacy but trump clearly saw the operation as a means to reduce foreign policy pressure and
00:02:37.880
pivot back to domestic priorities unfortunately that pivot didn't go as quickly as planned israel and
00:02:45.060
its allies quickly shifted from nuclear disarmament to full-blown regime change rhetoric iran eventually
00:02:52.200
fired retaliatory missiles at a u.s base in qatar and while those strikes appear to be calibrated to
00:02:58.360
avoid casualties tensions still escalated trump then announced a ceasefire that he had brokered between
00:03:05.180
iran and israel great news right except both nations violated it within just hours of its announcement
00:03:11.320
netanyahu even defied trump directly ordering another strike while the president live tweeted his demand for
00:03:19.220
israel to turn its jets back they dropped the payload anyway a very visually frustrated trump told reporters
00:03:27.520
on tuesday morning that he was fed up with both countries israel a close ally had no interest in honoring
00:03:34.520
its commitments quote truth is they've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't even know
00:03:41.100
what the f they're doing do you understand that end quote the difficult truth is that american and
00:03:48.300
israeli interests were never fully aligned from the beginning israel wanted regime change they see
00:03:54.460
iran as an existential threat and they will not be happy until that threat is permanently removed but
00:04:01.220
israel lacks the capability to do that alone and americans just don't want a nuclear war with iran
00:04:07.800
but they also have no appetite for another long war in the middle east the chevrolet employee pricing

00:04:41.040
for details due to conflicting reports and the fog of war we don't completely know whether trump's
00:04:48.160
airstrikes actually succeeded but even if they did that's not going to satisfy netanyahu
00:04:53.480
he clearly hoped to drag trump into a broader conflict israel's refusal to respect a ceasefire
00:05:00.780
negotiated by its primary benefactor makes the next step pretty obvious we should just walk away
00:05:07.560
on tuesday trump issued a flurry of social media posts talking about the existential necessity of
00:05:14.600
mass deportations it's clear that he got whatever he wanted in iran and now he's ready to exit that and
00:05:21.780
go back to what matters would israel continue its push for regime change without u.s support
00:05:28.260
maybe but it's time for us to find out the u.s shouldn't fight another unpopular middle eastern
00:05:34.680
war for an ally that just won't keep its word and to be honest now that we've seen the ceasefire
00:05:41.220
hold for a decent amount of time without any serious strikes or retaliations this thing is probably over
00:05:47.980
it's clear that iran didn't want it in the first place and israel was never going to fight it without
00:05:52.540
the united states and trump is backing way way out in his farewell address after his first term trump
00:05:59.580
listed avoiding war as one of his proudest achievements he knows his voters support a strong
00:06:05.980
defense but they're tired of wasting american blood and treasure to fight foreign wars while their country
00:06:12.060
falls apart at home republicans always talk a good game promising domestic wins to their base but then
00:06:19.660
they spend their political capital overseas trump's first hundred days in this term have been very
00:06:25.900
different he delivered rapid fire domestic victories and that's where the focus belongs americans don't
00:06:32.700
want more war in the middle east especially one waged on behalf of an ally that doesn't seem to really
00:06:38.940
respect the president of the united states at all i mean if you are donald trump the leader of the
00:06:44.860
free world the head of the united states the most powerful country in the world and you're begging an
00:06:50.620
ally to stop bombing people on social media in real time what's even going on why are you involved in
00:06:57.580
this in any way at all biden's open border nightmare still haunts this nation crime poverty human and drug
00:07:05.420
trafficking collapsing infrastructure in u.s cities it all stems from the ongoing invasion of illegal
00:07:11.420
immigrants whatever nuclear threat existed on iran you know the one that no one was thinking about
00:07:16.860
even like a few weeks ago you know i guess it just became the most important thing in the world
00:07:21.740
whatever threat existed there it's been neutralized so now trump can do the job he was elected to do
00:07:27.500
the job he wants to do i think at the end of the day deported legal aliens finish the wall and put
