The Most DEMONIC Israeli Politician (NOT Netanyahu) & Iran Deal Threat | Julian Dorey
1h 36m 58s
The podcast examines a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran to end a prolonged war, which includes a 60-day period for lifting sanctions and a $300 billion reconstruction plan. The agreement was signed electronically and in the symbolic Versailles Palace, drawing parallels to historical treaties. However, Israel was excluded from the negotiations and has rejected the deal, claiming it does not bind them and continuing military actions in Lebanon—actions critics argue constitute ethnic cleansing. The Israeli government, including Netanyahu, has openly used foreign media figures like Mark Levin to influence U.S. policy, raising concerns about foreign interference. Critics, including Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Josh Hammer, are vocal in their opposition, accusing the administration of abandoning American interests and siding with Israel. The podcast highlights a sharp shift in political tone, particularly with J.D. Vance, who has become a more assertive and articulate public figure. It also underscores the broader issue of foreign influence in domestic politics and the growing divide between U.S. policy and the actions of allied governments. While the deal offers a potential end to the war, the podcast warns that real progress depends on transparency, adherence to international norms, and the ability to balance national security with diplomatic prudence. The upcoming 60-day period will be critical, with increased risk of sabotage, renewed conflict, and growing public distrust in the U.S. government’s neutrality.
what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Julian Dory podcast I am Julian
Dory and I'm Joey Deef how you doing how you doing Deef it turns out the vice president of
the United States is apparently a fan of the show and apparently listens to your call outs because
I don't know after last week there was a quick little shift in the narrative from him I gotta
say yeah well I hope uh he wasn't disappointed in what he had to hear can we can we just replay
that audio from the 136 48 timestamp last week where let's play Joey Deef decided to end the
show with a bang really came out of left field but uh you might call it an upper an upper cut
of sorts we got it that's why I was gonna say I know it's above your pay grade but I will advise
the vice president uh sir your ass should resign if you have any semblance of a spine left in you
there you go resign and fight for truth but you won't because you're a
spineless bitch okay well all right let's pause that we got that on there so he didn't resign to
be clear but we're we're gonna talk about the hard 90 degree turn if you will that JD Vance has made
this week and I want to remind people before we talk about all this talk about what's going on
with this Iran deal which is a fucking mess and before we also finally long overdue go all the
way in on a very very evil individual who is certainly going to be a threat to this whole
peace process before we do all that I do want to say it's early it's only been a few days of this
tone shift that's happened with JD Vance and even with Donald Trump and the administration with I
guess how to handle this situation to bring this disastrous war to a close but they are at least
some promising signs that have been shown that said Joey Deef and I were talking before
you know on a scale of zero to a hundred we've made the big one or two percent step that's that's
what it is right now until you see actions until you see this kind of 60-day period that we're going
to talk about today as a part of this MOU that got signed with Iran before you see this all wind
down and come to the conclusion that we all desire which is I don't know for some things to go back
to normal at least as it at least as it refers to America and to the rest of the global economy
say nothing of like Iran and that whole situation that's a separate issue but like you know it's
going to be a bumpy ride right here and and some of the reactions this week were extremely telling
on both sides the people that many of you out there would agree with me we knew were fake
supporters of like the Trump administration all along have certainly revealed themselves I'm
talking to you Mark Levin I'm talking to you Ben Shapiro and all these people who you know were
just clearly more concerned with another issue than the Trump administration and I think that's
true that has nothing to do with America so we we will get to all that there's gonna be a lot of
reaction today a lot of videos to go through just right before I start I do want to mention
this week we are going to be putting on an episode with Rob O'Neill who is the Navy SEAL who
killed bin Laden there's been some controversy there with some people trying to claim the story
was different over time I had a great conversation with Rob it's about three hours and 20 minutes or
so and I do believe he killed bin Laden for sure very very interesting.
Rob O'Neill: So I'm looking forward to that one and then on Friday I just recorded an episode with
Anthony Pompliano that who's a longtime friend of mine that was a very good spirited friendly back
and forth debated discussion especially in in the second half of it so I think that'll be
interesting everyone be nice to pop in the comments but I think there's I think there's
definitely like an episode like that is a good example of like some of the other people that like
Tom has had a view into and how separated from society they are you know when they talk to guys
like him and give their viewpoint on stuff but we had some interesting back and forth on Peter Thiel
for sure who knows personally but I think you know where I stand on that one yeah yeah I don't I don't
think he's like uh what do you call it team humanity no no no he's not no he's team
salamander as we've covered in the past I think so you know the anagram of his name is just you
know chef's kiss and all that but hey guys if you're not following me on Spotify please hit
that follow button and leave a five-star review they're both a huge huge help thank you yeah let's
let's get into this deal right away like there's a lot that we had planned to go into that I don't
know that we'll get to today so that that's some good stuff that we'll get to next week obviously
I always want to check in on my boy Howard Lutnik and everything he will actually get checked in as
a result
he's always gonna get checked he's always gonna get checked we always check in always before you
even dive into this deal what is this so what if we were keeping track what would you say the number
is as to like this attempted peace like I'd say like this is like number seven that the war is
about to end I think you might be low you think it might be higher wow that's crazy to think
it's the longest most serious most signed on a paper version
that we've seen so far again I've said this from the beginning I will give out the criticism like
crazy and I have toward this administration and I don't regret a word as far as I'm concerned
every single step of the way we have seen them up on this issue it never should
have started in the first place that said I'm not one of these dogs that eats its tail
in the sense that sure when they stop it I'm happy they stopped it
because that me that would mean it can't get worse if that's the case Joey DeFilippis because you correct
me point out we've had a lot of stop goes we've had a lot of I guess like grin Glenn Greenwald
five-step processes I forget exactly what he put in that tweet last week but it was perfect it's
like the loop of this war yeah the Iranian it was like the Iranians are bad all right we've attacked
them and taken out all their issues all right you have to stop this or we're really gonna kill you
all right we've made peace all right there's no peace the Iranians are like repeated something like that
repeated over and over again and that is what we've seen but you saw back in the beginning of
March I believe it was episode five like a week after the war broke out might have been episode
six I'm referring to like the weekend episodes so we had the one that came out the day the Iran war
broke out which was recorded a couple days before so it's not we weren't covering it in that episode
but that was on February 28th I think it was the week after that where I closed the episode for like
18 minutes just laying out like from a journalistic perspective mean that seriously
that's why I put that in air quotes right there you know there comes a time where you have to
look at facts and you have to cover that as that is including if it lands on one side or the other
and what I was referring to was the fact that there had been a blatant admission separately
from speaker Mike Johnson from Marco Rubio and then implicitly at the time from Donald Trump all on
the same day that we got into this war because Israel said they were going so we had no choice
but to go because they basically bluffed our way into having to join them into bombing Iran and I
took serious issue with that later when the white house would end up releasing after that long after
that episode the official documentation on their website about operation epic fury and what it was
they admitted this in text as well so it wasn't some grave conspiracy theory to say
the Israeli government pulled us into this war it's it's exactly
what it was and since then just to skip over many many things and way over simplify this I would
love to go through all the points right now but we have watched the Israelis litigate a war in Lebanon
take up land displace tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people from their homes
to quote the president this week level entire buildings of civilians to try to kill one
Hezbollah guy and have some of their main leaders we're going to talk about today openly
call for ethnically cleansing the area all that happening while they refused to put boots on the
ground in Iran and we're pushing our government and our military to put our boots on the ground
there and take the risk and you know have our guys die on the battlefield which I took serious
issue with at the time and will continue to take issue with so I've seen this every step of the way
and my only goal which frankly I have zero control over is just some on YouTube but at
least in the way I express my opinions to all you guys my only goal the whole way has been
just to see it end and then we'll deal with it once it actually officially ends and figure out
a way forward that's diplomatic which includes being reasonable about people around the world
from all countries which includes also going through who is an enemy and who is an ally and
maybe maybe not treating any any of them as either just treat everything neutrally and to quote
something J.D. Vance
said this week don't trust anybody don't trust the Iranians don't trust the Israelis
don't trust the fucking British you know like shout out to all our British fans out there it's
not the personal I'm talking about governments here not like you know us normal folk right here
what happens is all these people obviously get in back rooms and they play fucking war games and
we all have to sit here and collect the casualties in the air and have absolutely
no control over it which I know we were all frustrated with I'm never going to hate people
for being he for for being people I am going to hate governments for being government
governments including my own so we will continue that today but like I said there's
going to be a lot of different reactions we're going to be breaking down
But, Steve, I do want to start with this part just so that we have literally outlined from the source what the main parts of this MOU are.
The MOU stands for, I believe, Memorandum of Understanding, which is effectively a deal before the deal.
That's my definition, not the official definition.
You guys can look up the official definition.
But what it was was a 14-point agreement that was signed electronically and then, I believe, signed at the Versailles Palace.
The officially by Donald Trump, which had interesting symbolism right there.
You know, some real Treaty of Versailles shit.
But, you know, maybe Macron pulled one on there like, you have to sign it in this palace.
It's beautiful.
And then he goes to sign.
He's like, oh, fuck.
He don't even know what he just did.
But he later signed something there, which has these 14 points, which we're going to outline in a second, the important parts of those, that basically says we're going to agree to stop the war at this time.
And over the next 60 days, on a broad 30,000 foot in the view here, we're going to talk about economic sanctions being lifted with Iran, provided that they follow some of the protocols that the United States is asking for as it relates to potentially developing nuclear weapons, which are big ifs right there.
And what that also means is there's now effectively 60 days where the Israel lobby, who threw a fucking shit fit this week.
Which was glorious to watch, by the way.
But this lobby will be doing everything they can to sabotage this deal.
And we're going to go through specific reports that have already happened where it's literally coming from the top, from Netanyahu.
And I take issue with some of those things, obviously, right there.
So we will call that out.
But there's a lot that can happen between now and, what does that take us to, Dief, mid-August?
Yeah, like August 20th.
Yeah, we're going to be sweating this out.
And we've already seen this week Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire and break ceasefires and stuff.
And, like, this is why it gets so confusing, too.
So there was one, I believe, yesterday, Thursday, we're recording this Friday evening, where four IDF soldiers were killed by Hezbollah drones.
You don't want to see anyone killed.
Sorry to hear that.
But it was four IDF soldiers in Lebanon.
Like, they're in Lebanon.
They're in Lebanon.
They're on the land.
Now, I'm not defending, like, terror groups and shit like that.
I know the Lebanese government doesn't like Hezbollah, fully understand that and everything.
But, like, it's not like they went and killed Israelis in Israel.
But then you see the far-right elements of Israel's government, after this happened, and we're going to talk about that, react to this as if, you know, this was like a complete act of war and they have to destroy all of Lebanon.
Their words, not mine.
That's where this is a problem.
And Donald Trump has called that out this week.
Very blatantly.
We will play some of those videos in a couple minutes of some of the things he said.
And J.D. Vance has gone from what I would describe as months and months of stuttering and closing all of his statements like it's a question, if you know what I mean, like, tonal-wise, almost what I would call not believing in almost anything he says and looking clunky as a public speaker.
He went from that to, I have to say, just from a performance perspective, regardless of what the motives are here.
Just from a strictly verbal performance perspective to the smoothest operator on the planet who didn't mince any words this week.
And he went on this whole press tour, went to a bunch of places, did all that.
I do want to say, I've had a bunch of you guys reach out and say, like, oh, you should have J.D. Vance on the show, put his feet to the fire or whatever.
I've talked about this before and I'll say it again.
I've always had a rule for six years and three-plus months of doing this podcast that I don't bring on active politicians.
I never say never on stuff.
You know, you don't want to, like, lock yourself out of an unknown future, but I have been ironclad on that rule.
And some people criticize that and I understand that and I accept that.
But my thought process is I kind of got to have a Chinese wall here.
I do not want to know these people personally, sit with them for three hours at a time, you know, potentially have them all shucks me to death and make it feel like it's, for lack of a better way of putting it, like a real human interaction and relationship.
I need to be able to talk to these people.
I need to be able to talk about these people on shows like this or when I'm speaking with another guest from a level of being able to brutally criticize them or very much praise them depending on the context of what it is without having any type of skin in the game.
And frankly, enough shows, whether it be podcasts, news networks, whatever, are getting guys like J.D. Vance on.
You can hear what he has to say.
You don't need him to come in here.
I will react to some of it and I will break it down and I'll do it from a place of not knowing the guy at all, which is where I prefer to be.
Again, we're going to we're going to go through some of the stuff you said, but on the exact deal, some key terms.
First thing I want to talk about, there was a pledge that the U.S. and regional partners will develop a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least 300 billion with frozen asset release to be negotiated in the next phase.
That is referring, obviously, to assets that have been frozen around the world as a result of economic sanctions.
And it's referring to basically freeing up money that was not previously.
Accessible to the Iranian government.
There are people who are criticizing this as a repeat of the Obama 2015 Iran deal, which was heavily criticized and continues to be heavily criticized by people like Donald Trump, as this is like the same thing, except a lot more money.
And I think some of that in theory is no, seriously, I think some of that in theory is valid.
It is a different thing.
Like Obama was paying them directly.
But what was it like one point five billion or something like that?
Yeah, it's just funny that he makes fun of it and he's about to 300 exit.
Right.
And it's not it's not totally fair to say he's 300 X in it with actually just paying them.
But the end result is basically a 300 X that I mean, that that is what it is.
So, again, I'm happy this is coming to a close.
We never should have been here.
We had to do this because the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
It was previously perfectly fucking open before we bought it.
We bomb them.
So it's a disaster.
But like, again, I'm not going to sit here and be like, this is a bad deal.
Pull from the table.
Keep the war going.
Fuck that.
I've said that from the beginning.
I'm not going to, like, switch up on that.
But you guys need to know what's going into this deal.
There are possible sanctions, relief, oil waivers or access to frozen Iranian assets.
Though the official text hasn't been released, the US Iranian media descriptions differed
on key details.
So as another thing, like what the actual bullets are on some of it, I think is still
a little bit up for debate.
But a lot of that's like also coming out fast on Twitter.
So if you guys are already getting that here and you want to post that in the comments
with some links, please do that so that people watching the show can refer to that because
I'm sure there will be updates by the time this comes out in about 18 hours.
So the biggest thing about the MOU that's been the contested part is Lebanon.
And it's been most contested by the far right wing elements, the greater Israel elements
of the Israeli government, be it smotras.
I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about, but I think that's what's going to
happen.
I don't know.
I think it's going to happen.
national security, or the defense minister, Israel Katz, who have been adamant about taking the land
I don't know.
in southern Lebanon, which they currently do possess right now, and destroying the homes,
which they have, they bombed them en masse, and telling the people that had lived there that they
can never return again this is like in you know maybe the geneva conventions whatever you want
to say the literal definition of ethnic cleansing that's neither here nor there but netanyahu said
israel was not bound by the agreement right away and would preserve its freedom and action against
hezbollah threats in lebanon national security minister ben gavir says trump's agreement does
not bind us y'all can fuck off i'll tell you what i'm kind of previewing some clips that are
coming but when we pay for two-thirds of your weaponry to protect yourself and fun you guys up
the ass no pun intended there we we get to say how it goes malaga you don't get to say how it goes
so i'll tell you what if you tell us how it goes no problem fight them on your own go ahead we'll
sit here and watch i don't want you to do that to be clear like i'm not rooting for that but i'm
just saying like you want to fuck around the the you know that's the y-axis the x-axis is find out
right like some people never got hit in high school who deserved it yeah and it shows these
people went to private schools i don't know if they went to i have no idea i saw plenty i went
to private school i saw plenty of people get hit in private school but like man does it show
not an advocate for bullying but maybe uh maybe the bullies getting bullied wouldn't be the worst
thing ever israeli officials said troops would remain in a wide section of southern lebanon
they've effectively occupied for the last three and a half months again to keep their
i guess like greater israel plans going there displacing tens of thousands of residents iran
disputes this reading their financial minister told diplomats the two parties to the mo to the
mou are the united states and israel on one side and iran and hezbollah on the other and said any
further Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued occupation would be a violation. Spokesman Baghey
warned a continued IDF presence would mean annulment of the MOU. That's not a good sign
since we cannot talk about ending the war while parts of Lebanese territory remain under the
the occupation of the Zionist entity. You know, I don't like that Iran obviously is not only
cozied up to Hezbollah, but like funds them too and everything. You have to look at what
the IDF in Israel is doing to the greater Lebanese population though. These aren't all
Hezbollah people, a very small fraction of them are. It is real people of all different
denominations, Druze, D-R-U-Z-E, Christians, Shiite Muslims, and then Hezbollah guys that
are paying the price for this. So it's not just as simple as like, yes, the Iranian regime saying
this thing and aligning them with those people. I don't like that. But there are a lot of other
collateral damage happening in the middle. And unfortunately, we have given the Iranian regime
leverage to be able to dictate things like this because they have proven, unfortunately,
that, you know, this is not. like an easy invasion and an easy takeover and where regime change is going to happen.
J.D. Vance criticized Israeli operations in Lebanon for sometimes getting in the way of
the negotiations and also criticized members of the Israeli government for attacking Trump.
We're going to play those clips in a minute over the deal. And then this morning, three
diplomats told, as in Friday morning, told CBS News that Israel and Hezbollah agreed
to a ceasefire in Lebanon, first reported by Reuters, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Eastern
Friday following the death of Hezbollah.
deadliest flare-up in fighting between the two sides since the MOU was reached. And again,
I just have to go off of people's words here. When the MOU wasn't even out for two minutes,
Netanyahu already commented, as we already laid out, that they don't consider themselves a part
of this agreement because, by the way, in a rare W for this administration, which is basically like
israel west you know they they did not include israel in these talks and when israel according
to reports asked to see the mou before it was signed that offer was declined which
it's great to finally hear that again we'll believe this when we see this stuff long term but
it's a good first little step right there for sure so let's pull up a soccer and genti from
breaking points stated right from the out the the the get-go what i had put out front here so i want
to give him credit for that he said the next 65 days this is on june 15th so about four days ago
the next 65 days until the final deal is signed will be the greatest fight in the israel lobby's
history they will stop at nothing to derail it the closer it gets the more unhinged they'll become
perhaps the highest stakes 65 days in modern history i don't think he's exaggerating there
i do agree with him right now like crystal ball if i could go forward in time
maybe two years i won't go farther than that because it gets really impossible
if this goes through and this is actually signed and then things just stay status quo iran and
israel stay hating each other they say shit about each other once in a while rocket goes back and
forth, but no war happens, Strait of Hormuz is open, you know, gas prices aren't fucking insane
and the world's not crumbling and potentially devolving into world war, then this will be a
good thing. So when Sager says that, that's what it's hinging on because the opposite of what I
just said is very, very bad potentially. Ben Shapiro didn't like the deal. Old Ben. You see,
got to advertise his whole podcast as like an ad on youtube like the whole thing plays it's unreal
it's you want to talk about crushing it you want to talk about someone who can't read a room
you know there's there's a famous scene in one of my favorite movies of all time
and glorious bastards spoiler alert where some undercover spies are in a basement
with a bunch of nazis and the undercover spies are a british guy and a couple americans who are
dressed in fake ss uniforms trying to pass as nazis and a nazi eventually comes over and wants
to drink with them starts getting drunk and won't leave and the british officer who speaks fluent
german basically tells the guy to fuck off and they have like this tense standoff and then the
guy starts laughing he says all right one more drink and so they order a scotch and the british
guy puts up his fingers like this and goes three glazy or something like that in german and
immediately the real nazi finds him out because apparently i don't know anything about this maybe
my german fans can help apparently in german at least in that time period they would say three
like that instead of like that i say all this because there were a lot of moments like this
this week with people like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin when it comes to where their loyalty and
priorities lie. So let's start with Ben Shapiro's first reaction right here. Just enjoy this
gloriousness. His eyebrows keep getting bigger. I'm noticing that Mohamed Khalibaf, who will
apparently on Friday be literally in a photo op with the vice president of the United States.
I cannot express to you how stomach turning that is. I don't care who the vice president is.
I don't care who the president is.
Leaders of the United States of America
in a photo op with a mass murdering terrorist supporter
like Mohammad Khalidov shaking hands.
A mass murdering terrorist supporter.
You'll get no arguments from me
on him describing that guy that way.
That's fine.
Now look in the mirror.
Please continue.
Six months after he blew away
42,000 innocent people in the streets
and weeks after he was, his administration was firing missiles.
First of all, we don't know that it was 42,000.
That said, one life is awful to me.
And they did kill people in the streets by the thousands
when the economic sanctions that we put on them in January kicked in
and people took to the streets in Iran.
And when the U.S. also tried to arm people at Israel's behest in Iran,
which caused this whole thing and all that,
and where there were Mossad spies undercover, neither here nor there.
But how many people has Israel killed in Gaza, Adif?
Can we pull that up?
I want to go shot for shot with Ben.
I think that, you know, just from like a journalistic fairness perspective,
not that he cares about that at all.
I would just love to get that data out.
Since October 7th?
Yeah, since October 7th.
Let's start there.
We got 70,000.
70,000 Palestinians killed, 170,000 injured.
and estimated that thousands of people remain missing and presumed buried beneath the rubble.
I think we've all seen imagery of Gaza. It doesn't look too great.
Now, how many people have been killed and ethnically displaced from regions in Lebanon
since the beginning of just this war, this year?
No American troops in that situation, by the way.
Just want to point that out. It's all IDF.
4,000 people and 12,000 injured, at least 1.2 million Lebanese, over 20% of the country's
population has been internally displaced by the fighting. Okay, let's go back to Ben Shapiro.
He don't look at numbers like that. He goes, it's against his religion. He can't do that.
Literally all of our allies in the region and continues to support every terrorist group in
the region and is currently continuing to control the straight. Like right now.
Okay, pause it. The straight that was perfectly not a problem prior to February 28th because
assholes like this told the president to go into the war. I remind you, Ben Shapiro was like the
guy who was never Trump back in 2016. He wanted to press charges against someone on maybe Lewandowski
on Trump's campaign for like touching some reporter at Breitbart where Ben resigned from
at the time. He hated him. And then suddenly when Trump was like good on Israel, he's like
greatest president in my lifetime. Also, Ben Shapiro is the same guy that advocated for the
Iraq war. I mean, I could go on, but let's continue. It is not fully open for business
unless the Iranians have, quote unquote, decided it is. The idea here is that somehow this
administration and the deal that has been cut weakens Hezbollah. I'm not seeing it so much.
you're not seeing it okay i've heard i i can't even do this anymore you're not seeing it you
haven't seen all the buildings that they knocked down where they killed thousands of people just
to get one fucking guy how about the pager operation a couple years ago where they blew
them all up like it was the fourth of fucking july in two seconds they're not weakened what
what is weakened does does everybody have to die does every ben like just i know you're not
watching this but if you were does everybody have to die everybody who's not like within
the borders of israel i just ask him for a friend let's go to the next one where he talks about
vance so the one of the funniest things this week is that so many of these people who have
throated trump into i mean perpetuity basically are feeling so self-conscious apparently except
josh hammer to like go at trump now because they're like oh my god he's actually like switching
up that they're labeling it the vance deal because they think like suddenly jd vance took control of
the fucking organization and decided to make this deal and basically sidelined trump which
i'm willing to say that probably didn't happen but this is this is ben shapiro reacting
to the mou as it pertains to jd vance's role within it i'd said this mou appears to be just
from the tax.
A disaster that does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning.
There were effectively five goals that were set by the administration at the beginning.
One was ending the nuclear program, not just nuclear weapons, no nuclear enrichment, zero enrichment.
That is not in the deal.
Ballistic missiles ended.
And the president today suggested that ballistic missiles should actually continue to be held by the Iranians.
Because the Saudis, our allies, also hold ballistic missiles.
Then you have the support of terrorism.
That is not part of the deal.
Anything that looks like an attempt to end terrorism.
A permanent opening of the Strait of Hormuz toll-free.
Not only is that not in the deal, the deal appears to have a provision allowing Iran and Oman to attempt to toll the straits after 60 days.
And then finally, the idea that Iran would receive some sort of sanctions relief after all of those things happen.
We are already seeing from day one relief in their ability to ship oil out of Iran.
In my opinion, the vice president of the United States, the chief negotiator on this particular project, has not well served the president.
All right.
So, obviously.
Some of those points aren't even correct.
But it's just funny because that's where he wants to go.
He can't say.
Like, if he's going to criticize, and obviously, like, I disagree with him on this.
But he can't just be like, yo, what the fuck is Trump doing?
He has to be, oh, it must be the fucking vice president doing this.
He's just like this weird fucking terminally online guy the whole time.
But there's no one as entertaining as Ben Shapiro is.
And it does get entertaining listening to him.
There is no one who it is more glorious to revel.
In the misery of than one Mark Levin.
And if you follow me on Twitter, X, you know, I just I can't help myself sometimes.
I would be honest, like, y'all don't see the tweets I backspace.
That's 99% of them.
Most never make it the press.
But it's just once in a while, a couple of times a week where it's just so much fun to go with this guy, Mark Levin, who is a fucking boomer to end all boomers, who's got no audience, a completely paid for following on Twitter.
That's not real talks to people in nursing homes on the weekend on Fox News and has a voice that could make a fucking record stop is like that one is now also terrified to criticize Trump.
He's also just going at J.D. Vance and totally turning on him and essentially is devastated by this deal.
The war pig, Mark Levin, Mark Levin never saw a war that that he couldn't watch other people die.
And this is.
The guy, I mean, he's been loving war since he was with the Reagan administration back in the 80s.
This is the same guy who has advocated during this war repeatedly to continue arming rebel groups in Iran.
And I I'm just citing his logic here.
We did it in Afghanistan during the Reagan administration as if that worked well.
Let me just take a little trip down historical memory lane.
The people that we armed in Afghanistan during the Reagan administration were called the Mujahideen.
Doesn't even matter what that means.
One of the people in the Mujahideen was one Osama bin Laden.
How'd that turn out?
Not not too great, right?
I think if I think if we could do a do over there, it's probably one we do over, right?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Yeah, it's good for biz.
It's good for biz, though.
It's very good for biz.
They need weapons.
We got weapons.
It's like boardwalk empire.
He got gun.
They got gun.
Everybody got guns.
And then everyone's got to pay for it later.
But Mark Levin.
Advocates for that.
My favorite part about Mark Levin, who has never so much as seen a battlefield on Call of Duty, let alone a battlefield in the Middle East, is that this guy keeps trying to, again, think of those three fingers in the air right here, keep stressing the fact that our great ally, Israel, has put so much effort into this war and, quote, he said this multiple times, fought right beside us.
Can we pull up that tweet, D?
I want to make sure people know I'm not making this up.
He's already got it.
Appalling.
They fought right beside us, referring to the Israelis.
Now we celebrate talks with the enemy and the enemy knows more than our ally.
This is shocking.
That was him reacting to finding out that Israel was basically left out of the MOU agreement.
Again, I love the melting pot in our country.
I love the fact that we have people from all different types of places.
I don't have anyone in my bloodlines, I believe, that was here maybe before like 1890 or 1900.
I think that's an amazing thing.
I think.
It is, it is, it makes us one of the greatest experiments ever and obviously there's growing pains with things like that but I love the fact that we have a lot of cultures that can come together and then have one great American culture where we prioritize that.
People like Mark Levin, I don't think are about America though.
I think they're much more about their other culture and what happens is they then claim to speak for all Jews, which J.D. Vance also cooked on that this week, which is totally unfair because then there's a lot of people who are like,
I don't support what's going on over there, I'm Jewish, like this has nothing to do with me, I'm an American, and Mark Levin's like, you're a traitor for that.
Well, who's a traitor here, Mark?
So, one of the other things is Mark Levin kept on talking about, you know, when Trump started this Iran war and he was calling, they were calling it like, I mean, he would call it the Iran war but then he's like, no, it's a military action to like get around the whole Congress has to approve a war type thing.
Mark Levin would be like, oh, yeah, Congress needs nothing to do with this.
But, but, but.
But then an MOU happens and suddenly the fighting's going to stop and his buddy Benjamin Netanyahu calls him up freaking out going, Mark, the president has turned on Israel, I need you to, more on this in a minute because this is actually real, I need you to come to our aid and discuss how important it is that we do not pull out of this war.
You know, so Mark Levin's like, oh, no, now we need Congress, let's, let's run the tape on this.
DVR Mark Levin, I forgot about that.
Congress is going to review it.
Because that's not discussed.
Yes, Congress will have to look at this.
I love that he needs to read.
Most importantly, they're going to look at whether this deal can be upheld, I suspect.
Now we need them.
Now, this should be treated as a treaty, as a treaty under the Constitution for we constitutional conservatives.
Oh!
Democrats and all Republicans but one, Tom Cotton.
All of them decided not to apply.
The treaty requirements under the Constitution to the Obama Iran nuclear deal.
So that's where we are.
Now, what does the Constitution actually say?
If it was followed, what does it say?
Section two, clause two.
The president shall have power by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties provided two thirds of the senators present concur the Senate, two thirds of the senators present concur.
Mark Obama realized.
You can pause.
It's not a treaty, it's an MOU.
You were okay when they were calling the first one a military operation, not a war, because that suited your purposes.
But now your bloodthirsty war is going to end, maybe, and oh, now, now we're looking at the terminology.
It's a treaty, the whole thing.
And I love that he's got like, his, his whole show is like him craned like this, and he's got to like read off a prepared fucking full speech and then look up every two seconds.
It, it, Congress is going to come in, and it's a treaty.
He's like, I've tweeted this before, but he's like that fucking dude in South Park who teaches them about bullying, and then Cartman just bullies him.
Yeah.
And he's like, your words cannot hurt me.
And Cartman's like, oh, my God, look at this fucking ass shot over here.
He's like, anything you say can't knock me down, knock you down, you're already three feet off the ground.
Like, that is Mark Levin, and you just want to wedgie the guy.
Ugh, so much fun.
The best is when he tweets out, like, the promo for his show on the weekend that nobody watches, and says, if you're going to miss it, make sure you DVR it.
My guy, 2002 called, they want their TiVo back.
That's not what this is.
Like, how disconnected from the world are you when you're saying things like this?
But this is someone who's had the presidency here.
I'm not even going to play this video.
It was the gayest thing I've heard this week. But he's like, I'm not even going to play this video.
But he was like on air the other day talking about, you know, because he won't criticize Trump as much as he wants to.
So Trump is flying back from France after he signed this MOU that Mark Levin hates.
He's like, you know, everyone who's saying that I'm falling out with Trump, we're fine.
He might criticize me. Like, I can take it.
But, you know, I'm texting with them right now.
These are love—I think he called them love texts.
I wish I could show you guys these.
But that same Mark Levin.
Yeah.
Who says extremely not heterosexual things like that is also the guy who, again, American, American-born Mark Levin.
This is where I take issue.
I'm going to play this clip of him given a veiled threat right here.
And you tell me.
Let's just play it. Let's play it.
I strongly disagree with something the president said today.
I heard him say one other time, too, which is.
If we hadn't attacked.
Iran, Israel would not exist, it would have been destroyed.
That's simply not true.
It's simply not true.
Simply not true.
For 12 days, Israel fought a year ago.
They fought against the Iranian regime before we did.
Destroyed its ground to air missiles, destroyed its its Soviet and Russian.
Radar systems.
Destroyed much of its air force, destroyed much of any of its defenses.
for 12 days we went in on the 13th day minimally right with our great bombers
and those bombs and we hit those nuclear sites
mm-hmm maximize what they did minimize us but israel has some very very powerful weapons
that it has has not used i don't know this firsthand just go online and read about it
it's a secret that's not so secret not so secretive and they've had him for decades
decades wow israel will survive period that's like a mob boss i hate to even give him that
kind of cred i think he's missing a y chromosome but like that's like a mob boss right there
you hear things like that that's not like he's talking like he is israeli
he's not stop doing that and by the way i just we're not going to play this one because we have
so much to get to but jimmy dory had i always get that wrong phonetically in my head is it jimmy
dory jimmy dory jimmy dory yeah right i have it right you said you said jimmy dory i know it's
my name without the y that like in my head i'll hear it the other way like oh jimmy dory but
anyway he has a great show obviously he's been at it for years and years and years
but he had an amazing reaction this week
to mark levin basically chastising his viewers all 10 of them about them daring to complain
about gas prices and shit like that because iran is hitler and we need to stop nazi germany and
they can't have a nuke and we need to bomb their whole fucking population and yada yada yada and
it's like the contempt he has and the separation a guy like this has from the average american is
i'd say it's laughable if not criminal it's it's
just plain sad and the fact that you know he wants to have a voice in the discussion hey
it's free speech he absolutely should have a voice out there and under the laws of the first
amendment i should be able to say you're fucking so you know and can we mark that by the way of
course but you know that's just that's kind of what it is but another report that came out this
week that should surprise absolutely nobody is the fact that netanyahu is planning to use
like this is the direct report right-wing figures u.s figures including mark levin to influence trump
which let me just read the first few paragraphs of this right here prime minister benjamin netanyahu
this is from the times of israel by the way prime minister benjamin netanyahu plans to use pro-israel
senators and right-wing media personalities to influence the terms of a final agreement between
the u.s and iran cnn reports citing an israeli source netanyahu believes a final deal with iran
will be secured but that tehran will not fulfill its obligations under the agreement the source
says he plans to use media figures such as fox news's mark levin and pro-israel politicians
to get his message across to trump
again i i want you guys to go to a room for a minute dream with me all right close your eyes
the year i'm waiting for optics to come out it's not just optics
i'm fiending over here okay it's not just optics and you know what it's also the right time of
year right now and also a very interesting anniversary coming up the year is 1776
you are in philadelphia pennsylvania there's like 30 40 000 people that live there but right over
the delaware river in that spot there's a beautiful building where there's a lot of guys meeting from
all different colonies 13 at the time to discuss the tyranny of the british government and what
they were going to do about it and this one of the things that i'm going to talk about is the
one motherfucker who's got some bars right like a you know flawed guy but certainly had some bars
with a fucking pen or whatever it was they used back then a feather and will and quill this guy
thomas jefferson walks in and it's it's july 2nd he's like listen yo me and ben franklin been back
there working on this draft of what i did we cooked like this is what it is we're trying to
make our own country where we get to decide what happens here
now i want you to imagine someone in that room was a time traveler and they're dressed apart and
everything they're talking the regular lingo at the time they got the wig on whatever you know
the fucking high socks they would wear and whatever those shoes were the cobblers would make
and they say yo yo yo um that's cool and all and by the way we're gonna end up winning this war so
let's sign that shit and get this thing going but um you know 250 years from now there's going to
be this other war that's going on and everything and another nation doesn't matter what it's going to be
that nation is is going to openly uh declare that they're going to be using people that live in our
country and were born in our country to influence us to have more of our people die and continue
this war that's not in our interests you know what do you guys think about that i have a feeling
knives might come out in that scenario i i don't know i i just felt like i was in that room i don't
know if you guys out there felt like you were in that room but probably not going to be a great
reaction right there because that's kind of what this nation
was built on i think there was an exact phrase beware of foreign influence right yeah and those
are constitutionalists like mark just like mark levin you know what oh my god that's perfect mark
would have been in the room too he would have been like you know what you make a good point
you make a really good point let me just call up ben and tell him i'm sorry they went to the same
high school in cheltenham by the way i don't know if you know that of course not at the same time
in mark levin's defense it was after but they did go to the same high school and
mark levin was also at benjamin netanyahu's trial that he's extremely guilty and keeps delaying
as a show of support a couple years ago nice so he just seemed mark levin just seems to be like
an amazing patriot an american as as he calls himself and i can't wait to see if this does
continue this trend if trump ends up ripping him the devastation yeah that'll be a fun one
the devastation there will be a mug over there for an episode that says mark levin's tears on it and
it will be glorious be absolutely glorious but yeah you should not be okay with a foreign leader
openly talking about how he's going to undermine our nation's interests by using our own people
i don't even care if that includes paying them to influence the president of the united states and
it would be sad if not for the fact we already know that openly happens all the time
and it's not just israel either israel is one that we pick on a lot because they happen to
have some of the only organizations that are not registered under farah but we got that problem in
a lot of places and by the way we also got that problem with a lot of corporations that emanate
in this country who do things every day funding the politicians we have that are not in the
interest of us the people thief we were just in europe we ate fucking great were you ever sick
no yeah because they don't have shit in their fucking food over there i wonder who influences
that you know like why are our companies here from america putting glyphosate on all of the
crops and all that shit that we got
as rfk would say like they're doing it all the time that's neither here nor there let's stay on
this point oh great american true patriot mike huckabee also weighed in on this now again donald
trump's not really a guy that's like into the whole not being loyal to what he does for better
or worse and there's a lot of worse scenarios with that where someone just says one thing
and they maybe have been great to him forever and then he just destroys them and pretends he hated
them at all times but it's really interesting to me that there's a lot of people that are
that he hasn't criticized publicly his ambassador to israel mike huckabee and i would also say
hasn't fired the guy at this point after a lot of failures in his job but right after the deal
was made mike huckabee had this to say it's also my job to represent the importance of israel
to the united states that's not your job this is just another reminder
that it is your heritage without a doubt but minister it is also the heritage of the united
states without israel without the jewish foundation there would not be an america okay
last i checked when this country was founded over 160 years ago when the constitution was ratified
and you know 250 years ago when you had the declaration of independence
called israel it's a separate issue over how people feel about that or whatever i'm not
calling that out as this thing i'm just saying it was it was 150 160 170 years later
it didn't exist at that time they weren't talking about that in philadelphia in 1776 like hey by the
way when we become a country we we're gonna set this up and make sure we're following the laws of
this country called israel over there it was not a thing the biblical israel and the 1948 state of
israel are not the same fucking thing don't tell that to
ed cruz don't tell that to mike huckabee but like the brainwashing nature of something like this
like how fucked in the head you have to be to say that when your job is u.s ambassador you're not
israeli ambassador my guy you are u.s ambassador same u.s ambassador by the way who back when he
was a congressman was openly advocating for the release from prison of jonathan pollard an
american-born israeli spy who was one of the most damaging spies in
modern history and who then advocated for jonathan pollard to be repatriated excuse me
because he wasn't from there, to Israel, which he was on the Adelson's jet in 2020.
The Adelson's who paid Donald Trump a lot of fucking money. The same Mike Huckabee who then
met with Jonathan Pollard at the U.S. embassy last summer admitted this. Meeting with Jonathan
Pollard at the embassy. I don't know how to talk about like a kumbaya session or something.
One of the greatest spies in American history. So much so that the other people in the State
Department were stunned that on any level, let alone at the embassy itself, the U.S. ambassador
would ever hold an audience with that person who, by the way, is running for Israeli Knesset and
part of his platform is let's nuke Gaza. Am I crazy? Like, am I crazy to be upset about this?
I don't know. You can check me, Steve. I don't know. I'm wondering the same. I don't know.
Josh Hammer also weighed in. Josh Hammer, to his credit, I will give him this. The other guys we've
talked about, they're trying to like throw this on Vance and everything. Josh Hammer did go righty
Trump. But this was, what is this from? Who's talking? Is it Matt Gaetz? Yeah. So Matt Gaetz
is just going over a couple of tweets he had. Let's just play this real quick.
Be more clear which team the Israel First crowd roots for when American and Israeli interests
diverge. Josh Hammer is a member of the Israel First crowd. He's a member of the Israel First crowd.
Josh Hammer is a maximalist for the Israel position. He praised President Trump for
intervening in Iran earlier this year when he believed the war was in Israel's interest,
writing, I have no idea why so many people seem to think we were going to get Barack Obama's
foreign policy when they voted for Trump. MAGA isn't Obama-ism, and thank God for that.
But now that Hammer is having to choose between America's interest in making a peace deal
or Israel's interest in making a peace deal, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
Israel's interest of expansion and chaos.
He pulled the U-turn on Trump for choosing peace.
Just yesterday, Hammer wrote, has Donald Trump had his Barack Obama moment on Iran?
It's so funny.
That's good enough.
That's right there.
It's just more and more.
Let's pull up the Loomer tweet as well.
Now, I usually don't address this guy because he's extremely weird and has serious psychological problems and everything.
But unfortunately, he does have a following on X and all that.
Tweets out a lot of bullshit and says a lot of bullshit.
This is the same dude who years ago was having issues with being deplatformed on Twitter and had people come to his aid about everything that's going on.
And, you know, basically try to get him replatformed despite some of the shit he was saying.
And like, again, I believe in free speech.
Everyone should be platformed.
But this dude was also talking.
He was talking about having Elon ban the account track APAC, which simply puts out pictures of U.S. politicians and the amount that, through public information, APAC or APAC-related groups have donated to them.
But this person doesn't like that narrative, so they want them banned.
Shoes always on the other foot and, you know, you become the person that steps.
But what he tweeted out this week, this is from at Laura Loomer on Twitter.
Soon there will be a massive Islamic terror attack in America and the perpetrators will lie.
It will likely have financial ties to podcasters and those who are sowing discord for foreign nations in America.
I predict there will be many casualties and only then will it may be said in that people have been conned into supporting a terrorist PSYOP to distract you from the threat of Islam,
while the enemy plotted to destroy our country from within with bodied conspiracy theories.
It will likely be ten times worse than 9-11.
And I quoted this and said, it's the way this guy clearly wants an attack to happen that pisses me off more than anything.
Read that tone and then also, like, watch him talk on his show.
And I'm saying that all tongue in cheek.
This is Laura Loomer.
She's a chick, obviously, but she doesn't look like one.
But, you know, watch how she talks about everything to properly gender her or whatever.
And tell me that she is not sitting there seething, frothing at the mouth, rooting for that to happen.
These are not nice things to put out into the atmosphere because she gets to sit behind a keyboard while predicting things and hoping for things where real people in the world will die and fuck people that do shit like that.
You also saw, by the way, this week, the paid shills like the Ted Cruz's come out and say America's safer because of Israel and just whatever lines they're paid to say because they've gotten millions of dollars from Maypac Center.
Rick Scott talked to the IDF today who ensured him that they're doing everything to protect all the Christians in Lebanon, despite the fact that we've seen plenty of evidence that, you know, they're knocking down crosses, taking hammers to Jesus' head and all that.
And, you know, it's like the old CIA headline.
The CIA investigated itself for selling crack in Los Angeles.
And detected no wrongdoing.
It's basically what Rick Scott, who's funded up the ass by APEC, came out and said.
And then you have guys like Dr. Eli David on Twitter calling Megyn Kelly an anti-Semite and yelling at J.D. Vance for going on her show, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Megyn Kelly is the farthest thing from an anti-Semite.
And the way these people will wield a weapon like that to label anyone who so much as dares to criticize the Israeli government as an anti-Semite is ridiculous.
I've said since the beginning of this war, and I will repeat it again.
I hate having to do this.
I do not fuck with the Iranian regime at all.
I think they're awful.
I hope one day their people free themselves of that and overthrow it.
It's not our job to go in there and do regime change because, unfortunately, the world's not that simple.
And to quote J.D. Vance, if you want to create a 90 million population fucking Libya in the Middle East but it's Iran, that's not good for America's interests.
And I do agree with him there.
I also think that being able to criticize a government is absolutely within the bounds at any time.
I criticize my own fucking.
Decaying horrible government every single week on this show.
When I criticize China, I am not xenophobic.
When I criticize Russia, I am not Russophobic.
When I criticize Ukraine, I am not Ukrainophobic.
When I criticize Saudi, I am not Saudiphobic.
When I criticize Britain, I am not fucking Anglophobic.
But when I criticize Israel, apparently I'm anti-Semitic and you can't talk about it.
Fuck you.
And that is exactly what is going to foment racism in this country so much that people who are Jewish who do not support what Israel is doing are going to be roped in with that.
And that is exactly what you said many times before when you look at the Benaviers, when you look at the Smotriches, when you look at the Netanyahu's, that's kind of the plan.
Can we play Ari Ben Menashe real quick before I get to Trump and Vance?
Yeah.
Ari Ben Menashe is a long time, for the last 30, 40 years, dissident to Israel, he's a guy who is an Israeli spy and says a lot of things.
I'll even say this just to be like journalist to be fair.
I'm not so sure everything he says is true.
By any stretch, obviously he is a bone to pick, you have to take that into account, but they always just label him, they being like the Israeli government as a pure dissident who lies about every single thing just because he hates them and I don't think that's fair at all.
I think there's things where he's probably over the target and you out there should be able to decide what that is, but he has some interesting things to say about the lengths Netanyahu might go to if Donald Trump doesn't play ball exactly how he wants to on Iran.
And here's what he said.
If there's a real deal between.
The Americans and the Iranians and it's going towards that Netanyahu will try to sabotage it.
One of the ways he would sabotage it is by putting out abstinent material against U.S. government officials, including Trump.
That's nice.
And he put it out there, new material that wasn't seen before in public.
So it's not just Trump.
I know that Howard Lutnick has mentioned there are other officials.
Not just Trump, other officials too, yes.
And he'll try to sabotage the whole negotiation and deal that would be, that they're trying to make together.
If there's a real.
Well, that's about par for the course.
And it took.
It took about 56 minutes, but pure spec here, obviously.
Pure spec.
That's the first time we said that today.
Pure spec from Ari Ben-Munashi.
Pure spec that Netanyahu has that kind of power as it relates to Epstein.
I technically don't know on that.
I certainly have my suspicions.
But like Sager said in his tweet that we read a little bit ago, it is certainly going to be very, very interesting for the next 60, 65 days as we try to get to this deal.
But let's start with.
With Trump talking about the state of the relationship with Israel the other day.
This was at the G7 summit on Tuesday morning after all this was coming out.
And he starts to let loose in a way we've never heard him let loose.
Go ahead, Deef.
Are you frustrated with Netanyahu, sir?
No.
We had a great relationship.
No, but here's why I'm frustrated.
Some end details.
I didn't like that he did an attack based on a.
You know, there's a very.
A little thing with some drones that were released and he ends up doing a very.
I saw that attack.
I saw where that bomb went.
Did you see what happened?
That was not.
That was a vicious.
That was too much.
Too much.
You know, you can do too much also.
But we had a very effective relationship without us, without the United States, there would be no Israel.
Without me, there would be no Israel.
He's going back and forth still.
He's willing to do what I do.
I've had a great relationship with Bibi, but now Bibi has to.
uh be more responsible with respect to lebanon lebanon used to be a great country it was a
country where you had professors doctors lawyers still does by the way the great intellect was
in lebanon now it's just it's terrible i would say of all countries they've been treated the worst
they've been treated the worst and they can't defend themselves and they have hezbollah which
is a problem all right pause that there's three more minutes on this one this was the first time
he spoke this week but as the week went on the truth serum started to set in hit that oil one
thief that's perfect he says this this this is like you want to talk about the honesty
about as honest as it gets i'm going to get bad press i know that now if i did the opposite if i
went out and continued to bomb them for another floor just bomb the hell out of them i'd get bad
press on that no there's nothing i can do
but what this does is it allows the ships to go if we if we keep bombing those ships won't be going
and you're talking about 500 600 700 million dollars a day a day it's a lot of money a lot
of money that's why the world is okay it's liquid it's fine also we run out of reserves in about
four weeks you know there are reserves all over the world and we would really run out and there'll
be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it and you want to see so for all that so he's he's
admitting that he's not going to be able to get it and he's going to be able to get it and he's
saying that this has gotten to the end of where the dynamite starts to meet where the bomb is on
on the fuse and that i i actually appreciate that candor because we've gotten none of that to this
point in the war and we've been pounding the table about the economic implications and the
10th order effects of this thing if this keeps going and there he is admitting it out loud which
i'm not saying is the smartest thing to admit in the middle of a negotiation but like it's
refreshing to finally hear what we were all looking at and saying what the fuck on let's also hit the
hit the trump netanyahu sane thing so this came out i think today axios interviewed trump and as
the week's gone on like i said he's gotten a little more honest about some things seemingly
but he's also turned up the heat himself a little bit on the relationship cut to 10 seconds because
it's like a preview or something right there yeah yeah if it weren't for donald trump and baby netanyahu
worked well and he was going to get it done he was going to get it done he was going to get it done
with me but he will tell you we're the ones with the guns we're the ones with the whole deal
we're the ones with the b-2 bombers etc if it weren't for donald trump israel would have been
eviscerated your relationship with netanyahu's it's good but we have to keep them a little bit uh
sane are you going to be able to control israel from attacking lebanon yeah yeah i mean how's that
they have a lot of respect for me they do and they do as i say okay let's pause it right there
they do as you say well they've already bombed them like fucking six times this week so that
that's not true and also donald trump was beloved in israel until about last sunday and then the
polls flipped on him he went from like 70 approval rating to 70 disapproval rating so
i know apparently they're very grateful over there for all the fucking fighting of the war that you
know this is bullshit in lebanon but that just goes to show you what it is and then the clip of
like this is how far it's gone this week you got that one this is the hamas one yeah
also why is howard lutnick there i know it's the g7 but just i fucking i can't go ahead
it's my hope that the peace agreement will be the beginning of a much larger
deal all across the middle east we're very close look at the job we've done in gaza
look at hamas hamas has been very silent you haven't read anything about hamas and
we're trying to get them unarmed you know they grew up with a machine gun in their hand i think
they've actually when they were born they came out with a machine gun in their hands that's not
the easiest thing but they've they've actually you know behaved pretty well considering this
was not the lifestyle that they were taught to have
okay go ahead that's a there's a lot going on there psychologically with that quote as well
but then let's go to the the lutnick one as as well because he's he's just so upset hearing all
this now howard lutnick you know grins like a fucking toothy pasty face asshole on camera every
time trump's talking about covering up the epstein files or bombing iran he just can't stop laughing
he loves it smiling right there just shit eating grin that grin got smacked right off his face this
week
i just showed you a little look think of what israel's getting they're not going to be nuked
it's very simple i told baby bb your biggest risk was that they drop a nuclear weapon into the
middle of israel they only need one shaking his head there would be no more israel think of it
baby you got the best the most important thing that you were asking for what a fucking asshole
what an ungrateful prick like i said with tommy g and i think i repeated
it on another episode i just recorded with pomp don't ever give these people what they want
when you see them out in public do not touch them physically or anything like that do not give them
what they want do not assault them do not do any of those things but do practice your first amendment
right that when someone like that shows their fucking face in sunlight they're miserable the
whole time like that person should not be courtside at a knicks game but if he is any heckling that
would occur should be directed at him and he should not be court-sighted at a knicks game
instead of the opposing team because the opposing team didn't visit epstein island and lie to us all
about it and then insist on keeping his job after paying off fucking congress before his testimony
where he was going to admit that he lied and all that but that's neither here nor there we'll come
back to him for sure but let's let's hit a couple vance clips this week first one we paid for
israel's weapons again i haven't heard someone say something this blatantly that is also
completely factually true when it pertains to our government in this way so i do appreciate this
and the second message i would give to some of those cabinet members bb to his credit has not
gone down this path but to some of these cabinet members in israel who are attacking the president
the other thing that i would say is that over the last three months two-thirds of the defensive
weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by american hands and paid for by
american tax dollars there it is the problem for israel is not donald j trump and anybody in israel
who thinks they're in trouble is not donald j trump and anybody in israel who thinks they're in trouble
their biggest problem is the president of the united states needs to wake up and smell the
reality of the situation that country is in okay and let's hit the vance killing your way out clip
this is a quick one but like again he's not mincing words here this is another one this was
with the new york times he's just hitting the circuit this week but yeah you've seen people
in their system ben gavir and smotrich who've attacked the deal and i guess my response to
them would be
what is your exact proposal and you know you're you're a country of of nine million people
you can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have
there you go and then he went directly at him see where it says the next one turned board way up
he went directly at ben gavir as well which again you you have to have the people that you make
the face of the problems and
that's a great place to start ben gavir we're coming in a minute for him now i saw the axios
report uh you know that that netanyahu is fuming that's not reflective of the conversations that
i've had with him but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me
what i will say and this does bother me is that you have seen people within bb's cabinet who have
come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked the president of the
united states and i guess my message to them would be twofold i'm not going to say that i'm not going to
Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment.
Only leader. Now, there is another one, Javier Maile, but still point taken.
If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. That's what he's saying. He's 100 percent right.
But Kurt Metzger weighing in right here in the replies.
Way to wow. Way to fake grow a pair of balls after mass murdering thousands and thousands of people.
Fuck this punk and fuck everyone who was part of it.
Completely fair criticism. It's like, where's this voice been? Where's this been?
I'm glad it's finally happening. I'm going to give credit to that.
But completely fair point by. Kurt Metzger, as Tim Dillon would say, friend of the show right there.
And actually.
Friend of the show. But I'm not going to play that live in flipped out on Vance.
We've done enough with him today. Flipped on him out on him multiple times.
He's trying to take that a different way.
J.D. Vance also did a great job talking about how the actions of Israel are fomenting real anti-Semitism in the world and how much they seem to be like wishing that on.
And he did it in a masterful way. It's a longer clip, so I don't want to play it right now.
We don't have time because I want to get to Ben-Gabir.
But I would highly recommend.
People check that out because it was.
It reflected a lot of the way that I feel like.
pretty perfectly, and I will give him credit for that. But I've talked about it all day. A guy that
I have followed his rise for a long time now is Itamar Ben-Gavir, the Minister of National Security
in Israel. And at this point, many of you have heard of him. This is, to put it, I would say
this is a demonic man, but that would be disrespectful to demons. This is someone who,
you heard about Trump just doing the stand-up joke about these Hamas guys being born with
machine guns in their hands and everything. This is a guy who I tend to think was just
born with hate in his heart. I know most of us out there can't even fathom what that would feel
like or what that is and what that would be, thank God. But just observing his entire life and
the hatred that he spews and the things that he says and the things that he's advocating,
and the things that he's done, and it is impossible to say otherwise. I want to pull
up the tweet that he put up, the first one right there. He's already got it up.
Did this have this earlier today?
This, no, it did not. So X is now saying this post violated X's rules, which I actually
appreciate. It should stay up so that we can see how bad his speech is. But I appreciate that X
put that tag on it. That was not there. But in response to the aforementioned four Israeli
soldiers who were killed in Israel, I want to pull up the tweet that he put up. And I want to
see how bad his speech is. But in response to the aforementioned four Israeli soldiers who were
killed in Lebanon as a part of this back and forth that continues to go on with Hezbollah,
which by the way, Trump even said like last week, like, well, the ceasefire to me is just the
shootings less. It's that, you know, it's, it's just less, which is funny and also not true. But
that is like actually the reality, sadly, which means we don't have things called ceasefires
anymore. But the way Ben-Gavir responded to this is that for every tear of an Israeli mother,
a thousand Lebanese mothers must.
Deep. All of Lebanon must burn exclamation point. With all due respect to the Americans,
Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of
our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens
of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF. And the commitment takes precedent over every other
consideration. Fuck all you fuck any money that America may give us. Fuck them fighting our wars
for us. So we drag them into fuck.
Every other country. Fuck every other person. This is me talking. I'm off. I'm off script right
now. Obviously. Fuck every other person in the world. Only I and what I care about. I referring
to this demon right here, this animal matters. Everyone else can die. I told the prime minister,
even in our private meetings for every tear, tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese
mothers must weep enough with the ping pong in the middle East. You don't win with measured
responses and restraint. You need to go berserk to obliterate, to crush the terror,
to crush the terror. They used to be a sign in the central park zoo. When you walk past all the
animals where it would say the most dangerous animal of all. And it was a mirror and a human
would look into it. And it was, you know, maybe that's a little bit of hyperbole just for the
average person walking by, but it was a reminder that human nature is certainly capable of amazing
things. And it was a reminder that human nature is certainly capable of amazing things. And it
and that's what I celebrate on this show all the time. But what we also must do is call out when
it is capable of awful things, things that fall below the level of what is supposed to be a human
being. What you are hearing here from this demon is a rabid dog. It's a rabid dog. You don't heal
people like this. They're not healable. That's why we had Nuremberg in 1946. It worked. Those guys were
given a fair trial. They were put in front of a court for the world to be broadcasted to hear
about what they did. They were found guilty. And those who perpetrated were, were summarily hung
instantly. There was no like stay of execution. They were taken out back and hung within days.
Guys like this are wanted by courts like the ICC. They are, Ben Gavir is banned from France. He is
banned from other countries. He's banned from, he was supposed to attend a wedding in the United
States a couple of weeks ago and then didn't do it because in order to get a visa with the United
States, who's like so friendly to Israel and all that, in order to get a visa, he was going to have
to talk about his previous criminal convictions. And he didn't want to do that and thought he was
going to get banned from a visa. So he didn't come. This is someone who is persona non grata
around the world. This is someone who, can we play the video of the flotilla? Just pull that
up while I'm talking to you. If you don't mind, you know, when they arrested some activists from
who were, you know, being activists for Gaza, you know, he went in and taunted them and, you know,
wanted, wanted to show them who daddy is, I guess. He's just regular activists, but it's a video.
It's, it's a, I have the link, but yeah, that's it. You see him there laughing as they, as they,
you know, commit human rights abuses, getting physical with the prisoners and all that.
Dragging them, looking at them laughing. Psycho. Waving the Israeli flag. Got them all in the prone
position, like the El Salvador prisons. You know, like this is, this is who he is. This is also
someone who was the leader of advocating for the law that it's a race law. Where does that sound
familiar from? A race law that allows for the Israeli government to execute Palestinian prisoners
as they deem terrorists. This went through a few months ago and he was wearing the buildup to
getting the law passed, which they celebrated with champagne and a birthday cake. Cause it was around
his birthday as well, that had a noose as the icing decoration on the cake. Nice guy. He was
also wearing a noose lapel. Do we have that picture right there, Deef? I think, I think I put
it. There's a lot of links. I'm sorry. Deef will pull it up. I put like 40 links right there. So
I don't know where that is, but you know, he wore a noose lapel into the Knesset. And before you say
like this guy is a total exception to the rule, he's not, you know, Israel has a lot of different
parties and part of Benjamin Netanyahu coming back to power in 2023 was getting coalitions of various
right-wing groups behind him, which include Ben Kavir's party that holds six of the 120 seats.
I want to say it is in the Knesset and then Smotrich's party as well. The finance minister
is extremely right-wing basically.
They are kingmakers to Benjamin Netanyahu. And if they pull their support, he could
effectively lose his government. Some of that gets above my pay grade, exactly what the process
there in Israel's government, but that is how it is, which means they have sway over say here.
And I've said forever as, as, as demonic as Netanyahu is, he's a choir boy compared to people
like this. And I do want to give a shout out to vice, which I think has really lost its way
over the years for a lot of reasons, but they did do a great
documentary a few years ago on Ben Kavir, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the
West bank. They did a documentary on some of those settlements where Ben Kavir was out in the West
bank pushing for them and, you know, being the fire brand racist that he is. But this man is not
just like some hardliner who, you know, taunts prisoners and wants to execute Palestinians and
things like that. He, he is a racial supremacist. He is a
Cajunist. Now Cajun, I forget his first name was a famous rabbi, I believe in the United States,
who was extremely racist and believed that all Arabs needed to be removed from Israeli society
and, you know, full-blown ethnic cleansing, like basically doing what Hitler did in, in reverse,
if you will. And he was so damaging that the United States actually declared Cajunism a
terrorist organization. And I believe 2002 or 2004.
Funny enough, in 2022, very quietly, Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken removed them as a terrorist
organization because, and I believe the quote was, they're not, there's no proof that they're
currently active. Ben Kavir looks pretty active to me. I don't know, do you look active to you?
Looks active.
Yeah. So Cajunism is religious Zionist ideology based on the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder
of the Jewish Defense Association. And he's a religious Zionist. Defense League and the Israeli political party, COC. Is that how you say it? I didn't mean to.
I think it's COCH. I didn't mean to. I don't know. Whatever. Kahan believed that most Arabs
living in Israel are the enemies of Jews in Israel itself and that a Jewish halactic state
in which non-Jews would have no voting rights should be created. That is the definition of
apartheid, by the way. The COCH party has been banned by the Israeli government. It lives on
through guys like Ben-Gavir, under other names. In 2004, the United States State Department
designated a foreign terrorist organization. In 2022, it was removed from the U.S. terror
blacklist due to insufficient evidence of the group's ongoing activity, but it remains a
specially designated global terrorist entity. Sounds like nice people. Now, a famous subscriber,
if you will, of Kahanism was a guy named Baruch Goldstein. In 1994, Baruch Goldstein went into
a mosque dressed in an ID.
IDF uniform, I believe. IDF uniform. Disguise.
And. executed 29 people, injured a bunch of others before he was eventually overtaken by the people
in the mosque who just went there to worship their religion. And, you know, he was a communist
and a racist and a supremacist and all these things. And for two decades, Ben-Gavir had a
portrait of Baruch Goldstein in his dining room. It was his dining room or his living room, either
way. He had a portrait of this man. And it's been reported that the first date with his wife,
more on that in a second, it's been reported, they actually visited the grave of Baruch Goldstein,
which would have been shortly after he died. Someone like this would be shunned in American
society. He's not shunned over there. That's very, very interesting to me.
But also, I found this fascinating. So, Itmar Ben-Gavir met his wife in 2002.
So, it was several, it was after the 90s, Baruch Goldstein died in the 90s. He was 26 and she was
15. They married in 04. I did check, according to Israeli Penal Code established in 1977,
the age of consent for actually even same-sex sexual relations involving any kind of
penetration is 16. The same as the age of consent for opposite-sex sexual relations involving any
kind of penetration. Now, I don't know if there was penetration there, Deef. Maybe there wasn't,
but kind of interesting. This guy is a 26-year-old who was dating a 15-year-old.
Something I'd say on brand.
One of the things that
design is factual,
and we'll often talk about is the radicalization of various Arabs across the region into hating
Israel and eventually becoming terrorists and stuff. And, you know, there's certainly
hatred of Israel that is put in the cradle of, put in the cradle for kids. What I've always
taken issue with is the inability to look in the mirror as to why some of that may occur. It's not
defending the terrorists.
I will always condemn that. Someone blows up a grocery store, fuck them. But I do want to understand
how they got there. I do want to understand what happened in their life to get there. For example,
when a bunch of these 17 to 22-year-olds went over the border on October 7th, we won't talk
about the stand-down order, but these guys did go over the border and executed a bunch of
innocent people in Israel, you know, is a disgusting act. Full stop.
Once it happened, you have to look at it and say, now, what could put so much hate in someone's heart
to do that? And then you realize, okay, 2003, 17 years before Gaza is basically locked off from
the world in a 20-mile zone. Hamas is put in charge. Netanyahu's talked about funding Hamas
before. Rules with an iron fist and everything. They can't go east. They can't go north. They
can't go south in most cases. They're not allowed to use the coral reef because it's nine miles out
off the shore in Israel.
Israel calls their region three miles off the shore. So it's a poor economic zone. And they
are told that the people on the other side of the border are what caused this from the time they're
an infant. So fast forward, 17 to 22-year-olds roughly coming over the border to do that attack
in 2003 were zero to five years old. When that happened, you can see how one gets to the other.
Again, in no way am I condoning that. I am saying sociologically, you have to try to solve
for the future as to how you can avoid something like this. So now fast forward to post-2023 while
everyone's getting blown up in Gaza and stuff. Don't you think some of these kids who watched
their mom and dad get blown up, their little sister get blown to bits, who woke up in the rubble?
Don't you think when they get up, they're going to have a lot of hate in their heart?
I don't know about you, Deef. I would. Yeah, it sounds about right. So I will condemn
the actions of those kids.
When some of them inevitably grow up and commit terrorist acts. I will condemn that.
Don't mince my, do not twist my words here. I will condemn it in all its forms,
but I will unfortunately understand where the flame was lit. The spark
was lit to get them there. And there is not an understanding across each society, both societies
as to where this hatred foments. But when I look at a guy like Ben Kavir, this is someone who's
been around for years. He's been around for years. Okay. There's a link there, Deef, below that. I'm just going to go through some of the things
that the Irgun was responsible for. This was a right-wing terror group in Israel. Later,
Menachem Begin, who was one of the leaders of the Irgun, if not the leader, became the prime
minister of Israel in the 1970s. That's neither here nor there. But they were responsible for
the King David Hotel bombing on July 22nd, 1946 that killed 91 people.
Arab Jewish civil servants and civilians, and obviously a lot of British who they wanted to
get out of the country, who did leave after that, by the way, prior to Israel being formed.
The Dariassim massacre on April 9th, 1948, in conjunction with the military Leahy stern gang
group, Irgun commanded, raided the Arab village of Dariassim. The attack resulted in the deaths
of at least 100 villagers, including women and children. The market bombings in 37, 38, again,
long before Israel was actually formed. British embassy bombing in Rome,
and on December, on October 31st, 1946, again, they really wanted to scare the British. So they
said as part of their international campaign against the British mandate, the Irgun bombed
the British embassy in Rome, causing significant structural damage. At least no one died there.
Kidnapping and murder of British soldiers in July, 1947, they kidnapped two British intelligence
officers in the Netanya region and later executed them, hanging their bodies in the Eucalyptus Grove
in retaliation for the execution of Irgun members. There was another group at this time called the
Haganah, which was, didn't I, I don't think it had an official leader, but a part of the leadership
was David Bangurian, who became the longtime first prime minister of Britain. And they did things
including classified documents and historical research have revealed that Israeli forces,
principally the Haganah, which later became the IDF, poisoned water supplies and wells in
Palestinian towns and villages during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. That is a war crime on every
level.
Like, again, that was like the more liberal faction, by the way. The Irgun was right-wing,
the Haganah was more left-wing, as far as I know. Again, you look at the leadership,
that's what it turned out to be. So someone like Ben-Gavir's mom put this in his heart. This is
someone who celebrated Yitzhak Rabin being executed by a far-right-wing Israeli assassin in
1995, I want to say, in the buildup to his election against one Benjamin Netanyahu, by the way. Netanyahu
did have nothing to do with that. I think that has been properly proven. So I don't want to make
that accusation. But there was obviously like a terrorist, an Israeli terrorist in this case,
who did that. He's still in prison to this day. But Ben-Gavir supported things like that because
Yitzhak Rabin committed the awful act of trying to do things like the Oslo Accords, which would
maybe make some semblance of peace with the Palestinians. And guys like Ben-Gavir cannot
have that. So someone like this cannot be negotiated with.
They cannot be dealt with. And they need to be treated in a diplomatic capacity in this case
during a delicate situation where I care about America as it relates to the Iran war, and I would
like to be able to pull out of that and have no further casualties on top of the 13 that we've
already taken and the many who were injured as well. So I can't just sit here and play video
games with what I most want to see happen. And unfortunately, that means guys like this may not be brought
to justice in an international court. That said, they cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be
negotiated with. They cannot be a part of any table. And their calls for violence in a place
like Lebanon need to be decried at the highest level. One of the things I tweeted out, I quote
tweeted Ben-Gavir's latest missive about Lebanon and taking the land. I'm going to show a couple
other things he said about Lebanon just over the last two months in a minute. But I quote
tweeted it with, I believe it was a 54 second clip from The Dark Knight. Great movie, Christopher
Nolan, obviously second in the Batman trilogy, where Michael Caine, Alfred the butler, is talking
to Bruce Wayne in the Bat Lair about the Joker. And he tells a story about this man that he had
hunted years before in Burma, who was just a raider. And he would steal all these rubies and
eventually got to Burma searching for him. They found little children playing with these rubies.
And he's like, you know, Bruce Wayne's like, well, what was the point of stealing them?
And what Alfred said to him, and I don't have the exact quote in front of me,
so I'm paraphrasing here. But he said, some men can't be bought or reasoned or given any logic.
They don't respond to money. They don't respond to common sense. They don't respond
to any of that. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
this is a man, and I, that's not really respectful to fellow mankind to call an animal like this a
man, but this is someone who wants the world to burn. And he says it in his own words. I'm not
twisting his words. I'm not taking anything out of context. He says it. And he's not the only one.
And so we've had conversations over many years, correctly so, about radical terrorism that's
happened as a result of other communities that are not in Israel, committing actions that are
horrible around the world, whether it be ISIS, Al Qaeda, you name it. And we should have those
conversations and it's wrong on every level. If you're going to have them, you have to play fair
and you have to have the conversation for everyone. And that includes, by the way, this shit my own
government does too. Let's not, let's not lose that in the conversation here. So a guy like Ben
Gavir should not.
He should not be in the room. Right, right when the MOU was coming out, he called it a bad deal
for Israel. I know Trita tweeted about that. Trita Parsi, who was on my show for episode 382,
really good guy. He, he was on Tucker this week because Barry Weiss tried to put the story out in
the free press that the State Department was looking at revoking his visa because he dares to
talk out against this war. I will say, and I've said this before, if you listen to episode 382,
which was recorded maybe like four weeks before the Iran war broke out, bar for bar,
word for word, Trita called how this would go. Perfectly. Joe Kent-esque, if you will.
And they don't like that. Barry Weiss doesn't like that. So I hope to see nothing happen there
as it relates to him. But yeah, so Ben Gavir said Trump's deal with Iran is bad for Israel
and that Israel will, quote, not allow it. The nation of nine million people that relies on all
of our funding to do whatever the fuck they do will not allow it. Well, go fuck yourself, pal.
You'll do what we tell you to do. And hopefully the two days of finally getting some not cold
takes from this administration leads to a little bit of a turn in policy here. I won't hold my
breath, as we've said, but, you know, hopefully we see good trends there. He also on May 30th
talked about flattening to he Lebanon, which I'm definitely pronouncing wrong. Apologies to my
Lebanese friends right there.
This is from Mario Norfolk. Well, it's not. It's in Hebrew, so I don't want to play the video. But
he says we this is from Ben Gavir publicly and repeatedly calls to flatten Beirut's to he he
says, quote, We need to go after the he flatten it, flatten it and flatten it again. Dear Prime
Minister Netanyahu, I love you, but it's time to flatten the to he the to he is a densely populated
southern suburb of Beirut, home to hundreds of thousands of civilians. This is the second Israeli
minister this week to publicly call for leveling civilian areas. Smotris, the finance minister
proposed destroying 10 buildings for every drone. Now, Ben Gavir wants an entire neighborhood erased.
These aren't fringe voices. They hold the national security and finance portfolios in Netanyahu's
government. The timing couldn't be worse because this was when Trump was deciding on a deal,
potential deal with Lebanon. Again, we've seen Israel cast the defense minister, as I said,
and Smotris, the finance minister, repeat exact
things about taking the land in Lebanon and not giving it up. There's a video of Smotris I do want
to play where he says destroy Lebanon right here. And I remind you, Smotris was just in America
several weeks ago marching in the Israel Day parade in New York City. Someone who he said
this before he came to America, by the way, let's play this. This does have captions on it,
I believe, Steve. Not that one. Not that one. It's the one that says finance minister,
Smotris, destroy Lebanon. You see that? So this was, I believe, like beginning of May, he said this.
But, all right, so here we go. Play that. How are you? Very good. Thank you very much for coming.
Let's start. So maybe what's most important, your son was injured in Lebanon. Yes, Baruch, the song's
now in rehabilitation. He's improving at a very fast pace. I hope within two weeks he'll be released, transferred.
It'll be a few months, but he is supported, according to put everything in the hands of God
and his help. He keeps asking me to finish the work and leave him more to do in our hearts with
this. I tell him, don't worry. We'll come back with the help of God to fight. So wait, go back to that other part right there. Basically, the headline here
was my son wants me to leave some Lebanon for him to destroy later. I told him, don't worry,
there will be not enough. There will be enough for everyone. That was the quote because the captions
are small and coming in fast. But like that's that's the that's the thought process. Does that
sound like people who are going to abide by a peace deal? I think not. So I did talk to Joe Kent the
other day. We will be doing a podcast next month. Obviously, he's been, I think, very brave and very
to the point and diplomatic in speaking his mind since leaving the government in March. It'll be
interesting to see where we stand when he comes in here and what we can break down. But, you know,
this is what he was talking about. The unreasonable people within that faction that they don't respond
to anything. So you you can't if something like that is going to be elected and exist right now
over there. I'm not a huge fan of our government overthrowing governments and stuff. So that's not
what I'm calling for by any means. But you must deal with that accordingly, which means people
like that do not have a voice in the room. And that's what I'm calling for. And I think that's
what I'm calling for. I think that's what I'm calling for. There are serious repercussions if they insist on having one. So, you know.
When you talk about things like this, you get called a lot of things. I will make
no apologies for advocating for the best interest of my country, America, and also defending my
Jewish friends who get very unfortunately dragged into this situation when a foreign government
decides to speak for all of them, which is totally unfair. So we will continue to do that here as we

FAQs
The MOU, or Memorandum of Understanding, is a 14-point agreement signed electronically and at the Versailles Palace. Key terms include a 60-day period to lift economic sanctions on Iran, provided Iran follows protocols on nuclear development. The U.S. and regional partners will develop a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran using frozen assets. The agreement also includes provisions for oil access and sanctions relief, though details are still debated.
The 60-day period is critical because it’s the time frame during which sanctions may be lifted and peace negotiations must progress. During this time, Israel and its allies are expected to stop military actions, and any violations—such as continued attacks in Lebanon—could undermine the agreement and lead to its collapse.
Israel was not included in the negotiations and was excluded from the MOU talks. Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, stated they are not bound by the agreement and have continued military operations in Lebanon, including the occupation and destruction of homes, which critics argue constitutes ethnic cleansing.
Critics argue the MOU fails to meet key U.S. objectives, such as ending Iran’s nuclear program, eliminating ballistic missile capabilities, or eliminating support for terrorism. The deal allows Iran to retain ballistic missile programs and does not fully address concerns about Iran’s nuclear activities or regional threats.
These figures have been vocal critics of the MOU, with some, like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, accused of prioritizing Israel over U.S. interests. Josh Hammer has previously supported Israel’s position in the war but now expresses confusion over the shift toward peace, raising concerns about loyalty to American interests.
There are concerns that Israeli leadership, including Netanyahu, is using U.S. political figures like Mark Levin to influence President Trump’s decisions. This raises alarms about foreign interference in domestic politics and undermines the integrity of the peace negotiation process.
