I wouldn't rule out American troops on the ground. But I sure as hell am not interested in a nuclear war with Russia. These people are insane; we don't rule out a first use of nuclear weapons. They take about thirty minutes to reach their target, just like ours. This is not an exercise. Over 300 missiles are inbound right now. Some Democrats are saying we need to be tougher, and I support that. Anyone who would propose a nuclear attack is insane, a sociopath, or a sadist. They're saying, let's launch a nuclear attack that would destroy the American people, our country, the world, and the Ukrainians, all to save Ukraine's democracy. As the war approaches its second year, Congress must ramp up military aid to Ukraine to drive toward victory. Lately, with this nuclear war stuff, I have been having anxiety attacks. I'm pissed off. There's a really good chance we're all gonna die. I'm sick of the new world order and the criminals that run Washington. I just pray to God for a global awakening and peace.

Netanyahu said that we will go to war. What he meant was The United States will go to war for us. So Netanyahu has been the great champion of pushing America into endless wars for the last three decades. He was the big cheerleader of the Iraq war. A devastatingly wrong war sold on completely phony pretenses that Netanyahu cheerlead. And one can even go online and find his testimony to congress in October 2002 about how wonderful this war is going to be and how it's gonna lead to a breakout of freedom throughout the Middle East. He's full of it, and he's been full of it for nearly thirty years. The ongoing wars in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, the recent so called twelve day war with Iran, which was a disgrace and a great danger.

The speaker argues that Russia is winning the war in Ukraine due to superior weaponry and manpower, and Ukraine's dependence on Western support. He claims Trump will likely end the "Biden pipeline" of weaponry. A negotiated settlement is unlikely because Russia's demands—Ukraine's neutrality, demilitarization, and acceptance of Russian annexation of Crimea and four oblasts—are unacceptable to Ukraine and the West. The speaker believes Ukraine is losing and should cut a deal now to minimize losses, but nationalism and Western Russophobia prevent this. He dismisses the idea that Russia threatens to dominate Europe, calling it a "ridiculous argument" given their struggles in Eastern Ukraine. He says Putin wants to restore the Soviet empire, but Putin has stated that recreating the Soviet Union makes no sense. He views NATO expansion into Ukraine as the "taproot" of the war, analogous to the US Monroe Doctrine. He argues that the US foreign policy establishment is incompetent and has driven Russia into China's arms, undermining US strategic interests. He says the decision to bring NATO to Ukraine was made in 2008, and backing off is unacceptable to the US and the West. He claims the US has a special relationship with Israel that has no parallel in recorded history, and the Israel lobby has awesome power and profoundly influences US foreign policy in the Middle East. He says the Israelis are executing a genocide in Gaza, and the goal is ethnic cleansing. He believes the world will be dominated by the US, China, and Russia in the next 10 years.

But, given that Israel is signaling it doesn't like the, Al Qaeda operative, Jelani in Damascus, and we know Tulsi Gabbard is something of an expert on Syria because she exposed the lies and the, phony war in Syria when The United States was supporting the ISIS and Al Qaeda rebels there. How do you and Trump has been very brave arguably saying, he's not gonna, start sending loads of money like Britain is to Tchelani. There's still thousands of American troops, though, in Syria. What is American Syrian policy Syria policy? America's policy towards Syria is basically Israel's policy. And what The United States was bent on doing was wrecking Syria and keeping it wrecked. That's the Israeli objective here. This is what the Israelis wanna do with Iran. They don't simply wanna do away with Iran's nuclear capability. They surely do wanna do that, but they wanna wreck Iran. They wanna turn Iran into Syria. And what the Israelis are doing in Syria is going to great lengths to make sure that Syria remains, a dysfunctional state. They don't want Syria to become, a formidable adversary. They want it to remain broken. And, of course, The United States will support the Israelis in that regard. So, of course, the Israelis are not gonna allow the Americans to give huge amounts of aid to Jalani so that he can produce a viable Syrian state because that's not Israeli policy. Just look at what they're doing in Iran. I mean, excuse me, what they're doing in Lebanon. It's a similar situation.

Senator Lindsey Graham stated that President Trump gave Iran 60 days to make a deal, and now the U.S. is "moving into the land of force" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Graham believes Iran was wrong to think they could manipulate Trump. He stated that Iran is a religious theocracy built on an extreme version of Islam and wants to destroy Saudi Arabia, kill all the Jews in Israel, and come after the U.S. He believes that if Iran had a nuclear weapon, they would use it. Graham urges President Trump to fully support Israel in eliminating the nuclear threat, including providing bombs and conducting joint operations. He suggests the world and Iran would be better off without the Ayatollahs and calls for closing the chapter on the Iranian Ayatollah and his henchmen to start a new chapter of tolerance, hope, and peace in the Mideast. He claims Iran has been attacking the entire region since 1979.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss Charlie's approach. They note his genuine affection for Israel, and his private belief: "I love I don't think we should have another forever war, regime change war against Iran," which helped him bridge foreign-policy gaps because "this person doesn't hate me" and "it's not about disliking me or some weird bigotry." They caution against outsiders claiming to represent his cause. Charlie is described as a hardliner on immigration—"why aren't the deportations higher?"—yet he remained a constructive voice, saying, "I'm a free citizen. I love you guys," and using pressure to push for good outcomes rather than divisiveness. He worried about turning Iran strikes into a "regime change war," supported Israel, and, while backing strikes on a nuclear facility, insisted "no more" and "this can't become a bigger thing." He "never bent. He never became better" and kept integrity to the very end.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the possibility of striking Iran to eliminate its nuclear program and the broader implications of regime change. - Speaker 0 acknowledges arguments that Israel has wanted to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, and that American involvement with B-52s and large bombs might be needed to finish the job. He notes the idea of a strike that proceeds quickly with minimal American casualties, under a Trump-era frame that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. - He observes a shift among Washington’s neoconservative and Republican circles from opposing Iran’s nuclear capability to opposing Ayatollah rule itself, suggesting a subtle change in objectives while maintaining the theme of intervention. He concedes cautious support if Trump executes it prudently, but warns of a “switcheroo” toward regime change rather than purely disabling the nuclear program. - Speaker 0 criticizes the record of neocons on foreign policy (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the Arab Spring) and argues that the entire Middle East bears their failures. He emphasizes a potential regime-change drive and questions what would come after removing the Ayatollah, including possible US troop deployments and financial support for a new regime. - He highlights the size of Iran (about 92,000,000 people, two and a half times the size of Texas) and warns that regime change could trigger a bloody civil war and a large refugee crisis, possibly drawing tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths and destabilizing Europe. - Speaker 1 presents a more vocal stance: he would like to see the regime fall and leaves to the president the timing and method, insisting that if the nuclear program isn’t eliminated now, “we’ll all regret it” and urging to “be all in” to help Israel finish the job. - In cuts 3:43, Speaker 1 argues that removing the Ayatollah’s regime would be beneficial because staying in power would continue to threaten Israel, foment terrorism, and pursue a bomb; he characterizes the regime as aiming to destroy Jews and Sunni Islam, calling them “fanatical religious Nazis.” - Speaker 0 responds that such a forceful call for regime change is immature, shallow, and reckless, warning that certainty about outcomes in foreign interventions is impossible. He asserts that the first rule of foreign policy is humility, noting that prior interventions led to prolonged conflict and mass displacement. He cautions against beating the drums for regime change in another Middle Eastern country, especially the largest, and reiterates that the issue is not simply removing the nuclear program but opposing Western-led regime change. - The discussion frames a tension between supporting efforts to deny Iran a nuclear weapon and resisting Western-led regime change, with a strong emphasis on potential humanitarian and geopolitical consequences. The speakers reference public opinion (citing 86% of Americans not wanting Iran to have a bomb) and critique interventions as historically destabilizing.

Netanyahu may be pushing for regime change in Iran to distract from his political troubles at home, as he recently survived a vote of no confidence by only two votes. The speaker believes the focus on Iran's nuclear program is a pretext, as North Korea poses a greater nuclear threat to the U.S. because they possess the bomb, delivery system, and reentry vehicle, unlike Iran. While Iran's rhetoric is hostile, North Korea openly threatens to wipe out US cities. The speaker suggests a diplomatic approach with Iran, similar to Trump's approach with North Korea, but acknowledges Iran has expelled IAEA inspectors, raising concerns about a secret nuclear program. The speaker points out that Israel, which also possesses nuclear weapons, allows no international inspections. While not judging Israel's nuclear ambitions, the speaker deems it hypocritical to initiate a regime change war over secret nuclear weapons when Israel has them too. The speaker proposes a deal where both Iran and Israel give up their secret nuclear weapon programs, suggesting Trump could broker such a deal.

Trump was considered good on foreign policy, including getting out of Syria and defeating ISIS, but he was always hawkish on Iran. Zionists wanted a full conflict with Iran but only got the Soleimani assassination. Despite popular belief, Trump was allegedly pursuing regime change in Iran throughout his term, even getting close to overthrowing the Iranian government. This was also happening in Venezuela. Trump ripped up the JCPOA, and the rhetoric now suggests that such events wouldn't occur if Trump were president. Trump is trying to run even further to the right, making it hard to say no to war with Iran. Iran will be in the crosshairs regardless of the administration, especially for Israel, making them more of a target for the United States.

Tucker Confronts Ted Cruz on His Support for Regime Change in Iran
Guests: Ted Cruz

Tucker Carlson interviews Senator Ted Cruz about U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran and regime change. Cruz advocates for regime change in Iran, emphasizing that it should come from a popular uprising rather than military intervention. He argues that having a friendly government in Iran is better for U.S. interests than one that is hostile. Cruz draws parallels with other countries like Venezuela and Cuba, suggesting that oppressive regimes often lead to worse outcomes for the U.S. when they are overthrown without a clear plan. Cruz identifies himself as a "non-interventionist hawk," prioritizing U.S. national security interests in foreign policy. He believes that the best way to avoid war is through strength, echoing Ronald Reagan's principle of "peace through strength." The conversation shifts to the Obama administration's handling of Syria, where Cruz expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of military intervention without a clear strategy, citing the rise of radical groups like ISIS following the toppling of dictators. Cruz asserts that Iran poses a significant threat due to its nuclear ambitions and the Ayatollah's anti-American rhetoric. He believes that Israel plays a crucial role in countering this threat and supports their military actions against Iranian nuclear capabilities. The discussion touches on the complexities of U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, with Cruz arguing against the notion of promoting democracy through military force, which he sees as a failed approach. The dialogue also addresses the U.S. support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Cruz defends his past votes for military aid, arguing that it was necessary to prevent Russian aggression. He criticizes the Biden administration's handling of the situation, claiming that their weakness invited conflict. The conversation highlights Cruz's belief in the importance of U.S. military strength and the need to protect American interests abroad while also addressing domestic issues. Cruz emphasizes that he does not support regime change through direct military intervention but rather through economic sanctions and moral suasion. He expresses concern about the consequences of regime change, referencing the instability in Syria and Iraq after U.S. interventions. The discussion concludes with an acknowledgment of the need for a balanced approach to foreign policy that prioritizes American safety and interests while being cautious of the potential for unintended consequences in international affairs.

Bassem Youssef | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #521
Guests: Bassem Youssef
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Theo Von introduced Bassem Youssef, Egyptian-born comedian, writer, and former heart surgeon, now a political commentator in America. He rose to fame during Egypt’s 2011 revolution by making fun of state media, posting YouTube videos that drew millions of views and helped launch a nightly show watched by tens of millions. He left Egypt in 2014 after threats, lawsuits, and satellite jamming, finding a rocky entry into American comedy where language and rhythm posed new challenges. He describes years of hardship, doing short sets, and building his craft until a Piers Morgan appearance in 2015 or 2016 helped him reach a wider audience and led to more opportunities. The discussion pivots to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Bassem recounts his family connections—his wife is half Palestinian—and speaks about what he sees as a long arc of subjugation and displacement. He traces the roots of the modern crisis to the late 19th and early 20th centuries: European persecution of Jews, Zionist aims, British support via the Belfour Declaration in 1917, the promise of a homeland in Palestine, and the influx of Jewish immigrants who formed militias. He argues that Palestinians were living there in significant numbers before the declaration, describes 1948 as the moment of displacement for hundreds of thousands, and emphasizes that by 1967 Israel’s control extended over the West Bank and Gaza, creating an ongoing occupation. He condemns violence on both sides but argues that occupation shapes the daily life of Palestinians, with checkpoints, land seizures, and hostages, and he notes that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza intensified after October 7 and during repeated Israeli campaigns. On the political side, he accuses Western media of disproportionate coverage and cites what he says are misleading claims about Hamas versus Israel. He asserts that a foreign lobby, particularly APAC, influences U.S. politics, arguing that hundreds of millions of dollars fund campaigns to secure U.S. policy favorable to Israel, including large security aid numbers. He condemns this influence as undermining American democracy and serving foreign interests, while insisting that criticizing Zionism or Israel is not the same as anti-Semitism. He stresses that many Jews oppose certain Israeli policies and that dialogue should be allowed without fear of cancellation. Regarding solutions, Bassem advocates ending the occupation and treating all residents with equal rights, acknowledging the difficulty of any final settlement. He cites Oslo as a failed peace process and calls for a renewed commitment to human rights and open discussion. He ends with contact information and a note about ongoing tour dates and future appearances.

Sha discusses freedom of speech versus information warfare, claiming 'we didn't have freedom of speech before Elon bought Twitter' and that 'we're moving away from free speech very quickly in Europe.' He calls the modern paradigm of DEI 'toxic woke ideology that is literally cancer for society' and argues the Iranian regime is 'the most real evil right now,' citing Iran’s role in the global drug trade, support for Gaza and the Taliban, and munitions transfers to Russia. He describes his path from a high school dropout to Caltech PhD, notes a hacker background, and explains how DARPA, Regina Dugan, and Afghanistan shaped his view of global risk and evil. He critiques US foreign policy, calling the Obama/Biden approach 'the worst possible Iran policy' and praising Trump for freezing assets, sanctions, and Abraham Accords, which he believes weakened Iran. He says '100%' that Trump is the best chance to alleviate looming conflicts in the Middle East and notes that Iranian proxies have carried out over 300 attacks since October 7. He outlines pathways: if Trump wins, negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in exchange for a Saudi-Israel accord; if not, there might be war to address Iran’s nuclear program. He warns Europe is slipping toward censorship and the West risks losing free speech, praising Dubai as a contrasting model, and says he is buying a home in Israel to shield his family from information warfare. He credits Sequoia’s culture for allowing debate and empathy while pursuing ambitious bets.
