One speaker describes a person who was “one of the only people… to go to the president whom he loved” and notes that the president “loved him in a real way.” This person, who truly cared for his country, went to the Oval Office to tell the president that while Iran is really bad, “a war with Iran is not… something that could really hurt our country.” It was an unpopular position, and he “didn’t need to express it,” yet he did, without pursuing some hostile agenda. He was for doing the right and wise and difficult thing and spoke that truth when he faced the president.
The speaker adds that this person “took massive, massive abuse from his own donors.” The donors had different views and expressed them intensely, but the person “loved his donors,” and he confronted them by presenting his own stance: “look, I understand your perspective. This is my perspective, and we're gonna do what we think is the right thing, the wise thing.”
Another point emphasizes that he was “the voice of young people.” The speaker asserts that there are “no young people in the country anymore supporting this war and wanting Israel to continue its bombing campaign,” stating that this reflects the truth of the polls. He was in touch with young people and, even when his own opinion differed from theirs, felt he owed it to them “to bring their message to the sitting president of The United States.”
The speaker concludes with a somber note, stating that the situation has been, in his view, snuffed out, “as he has been, unfortunately.”
