The Most DEMONIC Israeli Politician (NOT Netanyahu) & Iran Deal Threat | Julian Dorey
1h 36m 58s
The podcast discusses a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran to end the ongoing war, which includes a 60-day implementation period, lifting of sanctions, and a $300 billion reconstruction plan. A central point of contention is Israel’s exclusion from the negotiations and its continued military actions in Lebanon, where it has displaced tens of thousands and engaged in actions resembling ethnic cleansing. The show criticizes Israeli officials—including Netanyahu—for rejecting the agreement and threatening further attacks, while highlighting the hypocrisy of U.S. allies who claim to support Israel yet oppose peace efforts. Prominent conservative commentators such as Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Josh Hammer are criticized for their anti-American rhetoric, ideological loyalty to Israel, and attempts to influence U.S. policy. The podcast also reveals evidence that Netanyahu is using American media figures and politicians to shape the final deal, raising serious concerns about foreign influence in U.S. foreign policy. Additionally, figures like Mike Huckabee are accused of promoting false narratives about Israel’s foundational role in American identity, despite historical inaccuracy. The host stresses that criticism of governments—especially Israel—should be protected under free speech, not labeled as anti-Semitism, and warns that such tactics fuel racism and suppress democratic discourse. The episode underscores the complexity of the conflict, the risks of foreign interference, and the urgent need for a transparent, impartial, and diplomatic resolution to end the war.
What's up everybody, and welcome back to another episode of the Julien Dory podcast. I am Julien Dory. And I'm Joey Dave Hayden. How you done? Dave, it turns out the vice president of the United States is apparently a fan of the show and apparently listens to your callouts 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 he wasn't disappointed in what he had to hear. Can we just replay that audio from the 13648 timestamp last week where Joey Dave decided to end the show with a bang. Really came out of left field, but you might call it an uppercut of sorts. We got it. That's why I was going to say, I know it's above your pre-grade, but I will advise the vice president, sir, your ass should resign if you have any semblance of a spine left in here. We don't resign and fight for truth, but you won't because you're a spineless bitch. Okay. All right. Let's pause that. We got that on there. So he didn't resign to be clear, but we're going to 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 piece 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 Dief and I were talking before, you know, on a scale of zero to 100, we've made the big one or two percent step. 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 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. Like, you know, it's going to be a bumpy ride right here 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 that has nothing to do with America. So we will get to all that. There's going to 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'Neal, who is the Navy seal who killed Ben 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 Ben Laden for sure, very, very interesting stuff. So I'm looking forward to that one. And then on Friday, I just recorded an episode with Anthony Pompeiano, who's a long time friend of mine that was a very good spirited, friendly, back and forth, debated discussion, especially 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 definitely like an episode like that is a good example of like some of the other people that like pomp is how to 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 Teal for sure, who pomp knows personally. But I think you know where I stand on that one. Yeah. If I don't, I don't think he's like, what do you call it, team humanity? No. No, he's not. No. He's team salamander, as we've covered in this. I think so. You know, the anagram of his name is just, you know, chefs kissing 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. Yeah. He's always going to get checked. We always check in. Always check in. Before you even dive into this deal, is this so what, if we were keeping track, what would you say the number is as to like this attempted piece? 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 fuck 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 fucking tail. In the sense that when they stop it, I'm happy they stopped it because that would mean it can't get worse. If that's the case, Joey, the Olympus, because you correctly point out, we've had a lot of stop goes. We've had a lot of, I guess like green, 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 going to kill you. All right. We've made peace. All right. There's no peace. The Iranians are like repeat it, something like that, repeat it 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, it might have been episode six, I'm referring to like the week end 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 is 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 in to bomb in 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 fucking 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, two hundreds of thousands of people from their homes to quote the president this week, level entire buildings of civilians to try to kill one fucking 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 were 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 as just some asshole 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 JD 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 talk about governments here and 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 people, for being people, I am going to hate governments for being 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, Dave, I do wanna 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 I was signed electronically and then I believe signed at the Versailles Palace, deep, officially by Donald Trump, which had interesting symbolism right there, some real treaty of Versailles shit. But maybe McCrone pulled one on there like, you have to sign it in this palace, it's beautiful. Then he goes to sign, he's like, oh fuck, he only know what he just did. But he later signed something there, which has these 14 points, which we're gonna 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 it brought 30,000 foot in the view air. 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. 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. 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 is that take us to deep mid August. Yeah. Like August 20th. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to be sweating this out. And we've already seen this week Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire and break cease fires 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. There are four IDF soldiers were killed by Hezbollah drones. You know what I'm saying? Anyone killed? Sorry to hear that. But it was four IDF soldiers in Lebanon. Like 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 JD 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 smoothness 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 JD Vance on the show, put his feet to the fire, 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 iron clad 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 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 JD Vance on it, 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. So again, 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 US and regional partners will develop a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least 300 billion with frozen asset released 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 1.5 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 xing it with actually just paying them. But the end result is basically a 300 x that, I mean, 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 straight of Hormuz is closed. It was previously perfectly fucking open before we bombed 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 tax hasn't been released. The US Iranian media descriptions differed on key details. So that's another thing like what the actual bullets are on some of it. I think it's 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 and 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 smoters, the finance minister, Ben Gavir Maher on him in a little bit, the minister of national security, or the defense minister, Israel cats, who have been adamant about taking the land in southern Lebanon, which they currently do possess right now and destroying the homes, which they have. They bomb them and mass and telling the people that had lived there that they could never return again. This is like, 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 said Trump's agreement does not bind us. How 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 fund you guys up the ass, no pun intended there, we get to say how it goes, my like, 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, 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 and it shows. These people went to private schools and 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 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 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 Baghe warned a continued IDF presence would mean enolment 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 occupation of the Zionist entity. You know, I don't like that Iran obviously is not only cozyed 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. Jews, DRUZE, 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 is 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 this is not like an easy invasion and an easy takeover and where regime change is going to happen. JD Vance criticized Israeli operations in Lebanon for some times 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 deadliest flare-up and 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, 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 is 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 gente from breaking points stated right from the out, the get-go, what I had put out for on 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. A Ron and Israel stay hating each other. They say shit about each other once in a while. A rocket goes back and forth, but no war happens. Straight to where Moose is open, 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 Saga says that, that's what it's hinging on. 'Cause the opposite of what I just said is very, very bad potentially. Ben Shapiro didn't like the deal. Old bad. You see, he's 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-- He's pushing it. You want to talk about someone who can't read a room. There's a famous scene in one of my favorite movies of all time in 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 of 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, "Dreh 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. And 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, Mark Levin, when it comes to where they're loyalty and priorities lie. So let's start with Ben Shapiro's first reaction right here. Just enjoy this gloriousness. So I brought us, keep getting bigger. I'm noticing that Muhammad Halibov, who will apparently on Friday, you literally in a photo up 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 up with a mass murdering terrorist supporter, like Muhammad Halibov 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. Okay, plus firing missile. 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 massage buys undercover. Neither here nor there. But how many people has Israel killed in Gaza, Deep? 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, love to get that data. - It's October 7th. - Yeah, it's October 7th. Let's start there. We got 70,000 Palestinians killed 170,000 injured and estimated thousands of people remain missing and presumed buried beneath the rubble. I think we've all seen imagery at 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. And 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, Paul, is 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 his really is like greatest president of my lifetime. Also, Ben Shapiro is the same guy that advocated for the Iraq war. I mean, I can go on, but let's continue. - 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 Khazmullah, I'm not seeing it so much. - You're not seeing it, okay, I've heard it. I can't even do this anymore. You're not seeing it. You haven't seen all the buildings that they knock down where they killed thousands of people just to get one fucking guy. How about the Pager operation a couple of years ago where they blew them all up like it was the fourth fucking July in two seconds. They're not weakened. What is weakened? Does everybody have to die? Does every, Ben, like just, I know you're not watching this, but if you work, 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 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 sideline Trump, which willing to say that probably didn't happen. But this is Ben Shapiro reacting to the MoU as it pertains to JD Vance's role within it. - I said this MoU appears to be just from the time
That is after that does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning. There are effectively five goals that were set by the administration at the beginning. When it's any nuclear program, not just nuclear weapons, no nuclear enrichment, zero enrichment. That is not in the deal. Elistic missiles ended. And the president today suggested that ballistic missiles should actually continue to be held by the Iranians because the Saudis are 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 straight-up form was 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 straights 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. 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, "If he's going to criticize," and obviously, I just agree with him on this, but he can't just be like, "Yeah, 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. He's the one who it is more glorious to revel in the misery of than one Mark Levin. If you follow me on Twitter, X, you know, I just, I can't help myself sometimes. That would be honest, like, y'all don't see the Tweetside Backspace. That's 99% of them. Most never make it the press, but it's just once in a while, it's a couple of tons 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 to 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, deep like that one, is now also terrified to criticize Trump. He's also just going at JD 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 he couldn't watch other people die. And this is a guy, I mean, he's been love and war since he was with the Reagan administration back in the 80s. This is the same guy who is advocated during this war repeatedly to continue arming rebel groups in Iran. And 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 too great, right? 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 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. He keeps stressing the fact that our great ally has put Israel, has put so much effort into this war. And quote, you said this multiple times, fought right beside us, because we pull up that tweet. 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. So 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 JD 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 trader for that. Well, who's a trader here, Mark? So one of the other things is Mark Levin kept on talking about, you know, when Trump started this around war and he was calling, they were calling it like, I mean, he would call it the around 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 then in MOU happens and suddenly the fighting is going to stop. And his buddy Benjamin Netanyahu calls him up, freaking out, good, 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 either. Yes, Congress will have to look at this. 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 a weak 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 the Constitution take close to? The President shall have power buying with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the senators' president concurred. The Senate, two-thirds of the senators' president concurred. Mark. The Obama realized that you can pose it. 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. Oh, now we're looking at the terminology. It's a treaty. I love that he's got his whole show is like him cramed like this, and he's got to read off a prepared fucking full speech, and then look up every two seconds. 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. He's like, "Your words cannot hurt me," and Cartman's like, "Kam, my god, look at this fucking ass, you're over here!" He's like, "Anything you say can't knock me down, you're already three feet off the ground." Like, that is Mark Levin, and you just want to wedge either guy. Ah, so much fun. The best is when he tweets out like the promo for his show on the weekend, that nobody watches. And he says, "If you're going to miss it, make sure you DVR it." My guy, 2002 called, they want their T-vo 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 president's here. I'm not even going to play this video. It was the gayest thing I've heard this week, 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, "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 him right now. These are love, I think you call them love texts. I wish I could show you guys these." But that same Mark Levin 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 giving a veiled threat right here. And you tell me, let's just play it, let's just play it. I strongly disagree with something the president said today. I heard him say one other time too, which is if we had an attack, Iran, Israel would not exist and would have been destroyed. That's simply not true. It's simply not true. For 12 days, Israel fought a year ago against the Iranian regime before we did, destroyed its crowned air missiles, destroyed its Soviet and slash 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. - Maximize what they did, minimize us. - But Israel has some very, very powerful weapons that it has not used. I don't know this firsthand. Just go online and read about it. - It's a secret that's not so secretive. - That's so secretive. - And they've had him for decades. - Decade. - 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. He's talking like he is Israeli. He's not. Stop doing that. By the way, 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 Jimmy Dory. I know it's my name without the Y that like in my head all here at 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 ten 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 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 rich. So, you know, and can we mark that up on him? - Of course. - But, you know, that's just, that's kind of what it is. But, another report that came out this week that just surprised absolutely nobody is the fact that Netanyahu is planning to use direct, like this is the direct report. Right-wing figures, US 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 US 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' Mark Levin and pro-Israel politicians to get his message across to Trump. Again, I want you guys to go to a room for a minute, dream with me. All right, close your eyes. I'm waiting for optics to come out. It's not just optics, Steve. It's not, I'm feigning 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 30,000, 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 there's 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 seconds, 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 dressed the part and everything, the talk and 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 collabers would make. And they say, yo, yo, yo, that's cool and all. And by the way, we're going to end up winning this war. So let's sign that shit and get this thing going. But, you know, two and a half years from now, Lincoln, you know, other war is going on and everything. And another nation doesn't matter what nation it is, is going to openly declare that they're going to be using people that live in our country and we're 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 don't know. 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 Levin. I just like Mark Levin. You know what? Oh my god, it'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. I just call up Ben and Tom. I'm sorry. They went to the same high school in Sheltonham, by the way. I don't know if you know that. Of course. Not at the same time in Mark Levin's defense after, but they did go to the same high school. You know, Mark Levin was also at Benjamin Netanyahu's trial that he's extremely guilty and he keeps delaying as a show of support a couple of years ago. Nice. So he just seemed, Mark Levin just seems to be like an amazing. Patriot and American. 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. That would 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 FAR. But we got that problem in a lot of places. And by the way, we also got that problem with a lot of corporations. The 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 life as aid on all the crops and all the shit that we got to eat? This 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 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. OK, close that. 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. The 1948 creation of a state called Israel, it's a separate issue over how people feel about that or whatever. I'm not calling that out as a thing. I'm just saying 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're going to set this up and make sure we're found 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 Ted 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 US Ambassador. You're not Israeli Ambassador, my guy. You are US Ambassador. Same US 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.
created 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 that 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 in itself, the U.S. Ambassador would ever hold an audience with that person who, by the way, is running for Israeli kineset 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. 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 right, Trump. But this was, what is this from? Who's talking? This is Matt Gates. Yeah. So Matt Gates is just going over a couple tweets he had. Let's just play this real quick. The more clear which team the Israel first crowd roots for when American and Israeli interests diverge. Josh Hammer is a maximalist for the Israel. 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 Obamaism 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 of expansion and chaos, he pulled the U-term on Trump for choosing peace. Just yesterday, Hammer wrote, has Donald Trump had his Barack Obama moment on Iran? That's so funny. That's right, it's just more and more. Let's pull up the Lumer 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 de-platformed on Twitter and had people come to his aid about everything that's going on and you know, basically try to get him re-platformed despite some of the shit he was saying and like again, I believe him free speech everyone should be platform, but this dude was also talking about having Elon banned the account track A-Pack, which simply simply puts out pictures of US politicians and the amount that through public information A-Pack or A-Pack-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, he become the person that steps. But what he tweeted out this week, this is from @laraluma on Twitter, "Soon there will be a massive Islamic terror attack in America and the perpetrators 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 maybe set in that people have been conned into supporting a terrorist sia up 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 10 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 shows and I'm saying that all tongue in cheek. This is @laraluma, she's a chick obviously, but she doesn't look like one. But you know, watch how she talks about everything, properly gender her or whatever. And tell me that she is not sitting there seething, frothing at the mouth, rooting for that to happen. That 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 Cruzes come out and say America's safer because of Israel and just whatever lines they're paid to say because they've got millions of dollars from Apex Center, Rick Scott. Talk to the IDF today who ensured him that they're doing everything to protect all the Christians in Lebanon, despite the fact that we're seeing plenty of evidence that, you know, they're knocking down crosses, they're 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 Apex, came out and said, and then you have guys like Dr. Eli David on Twitter calling Megan Kelly and anti-Semite and yelling at JD Vance for going on her show, which is absolutely ridiculous. Megan 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 is dares to criticize the Israeli government as an anti-Semite is ridiculous. I've said since the beginning of this war and I 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 there are 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 into quote JD Vance. If you want to create a 90 million population fucking Libya in the Middle East, but it's a run, 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 balance 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 roosophobic. When I criticize Ukraine, I am not Ukraineophobic. When I criticize Saudi, I'm not Saudi phobic. 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 as we've said many times before when you look at the fending veers, when you look at the smotritches, when you look at the Netanyahus, that's kind of the plan. Can we play Ari Ben Manashi real quick before I get to Trump advance? Yeah. Ari Ben Manashi is a long time for the last 30, 40 years, dissonant to Israel, who's a guy who's in Israeli spy and says a lot of things. I'll even say this just to be like journalist of the fair. I'm not so sure everything he says is true by any stretch. Obviously, he has 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 Lane Snetanyahu 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 Nanyahu will try to sabotage it. One of the ways he would sabotage it is by putting out a obscene material against US government officials including Trump. That's nice. And he put it out there. New material that wasn't seen before in the public. So it's not just Trump. I know that I would want Nick is mentioned there are officials and not that not just Trump other officials to 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 about 56 minutes. But pure spec here obviously here's France the first time we said that today pure spec from Ari Ben Manashi pure spec the Nanyahu has that kind of power is relates to Epstein I technically don't know on that. I certainly have my suspicions. But like soccer 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 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. 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 minor little thing with some drones that were loose and he ends up going over I saw that attack I saw with a bomb one did you see what that that was not a vicious that was too much too much you know you can do too much also but the effect of relationship without us without the United States there would be no Israel without me there would be no. He's going back and forth. He's going to do what I did I've had a great relationship with BB but now BB has to.
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 world countries have been treated the worst. They've been treated the worst. And they can't defend themselves, and they have Hezbollah, which is a problem. I 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 honesty, about his honestness 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 four, 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 keep bombing, those ships won't be going, and you're talking about 500, 600, 700, million dollars a day, that's a lot of money. That's why the world is okay, it's liquid, it's fine. Also, we run out of reserves at about four weeks, you know, there reserves all over the world, and we would really run out, and it'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it, and you want to see. So for all of it. So he's easy admitting that this has gotten to the end of where the dynamite starts to meet where the bomb is on the fuse. And 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 Trump Netanyahu scene thing. So this came out, I think today Axios interviewed Trump. And as the week's going on, like I said, he's gotten a little more honest about some things seemingly, but he's also turned up to heat himself a little bit on the relationship. Cut to 10 seconds. Because it's like a preview or something right there. Yeah. If it weren't for Donald Trump and baby Netanyahu worked well 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 B2 bombers, etc. If it weren't for Donald Trump, Israel would have been eviscerated through relationship with Nanyahu's. It's good, but we have to keep on a little bit saying, are you going to be able to control Israel from attacking Lebanon? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, how's that going? They have a letter respect for me. They do. And they do as I say. Okay, I'll pause it right there. They do as you say. Well, they've already bombed them like fucking six times this week. So 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, we've done on their behalf to allow them to do all this bullshit in Lebanon, but that just goes to show you what it is. And then the clip of Hamas. Like this is how far it's gone this week. You got that one? This is the Hamas one. Yeah. Also, why is Howard Lightning 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 inside, I've been trying to get them unarmed. You know, they grew up with a machine gun in their hand. I think they were actually when they were born, they came out with a machine gun in their hands. That's not the easiest thing, but they actually behave pretty well, considering this was not the lifestyle that they were taught to have. Okay, go ahead. That's it. There's a lot going on there psychologically with that quote as well. But then let's go to the, the, the Lightning one as well, because he's, he was just so upset hearing all this. Now, Howard Lightning, you know, grins like a fucking toothy pasty face asshole on camera. Every time Trump's talking about covering up the Epstein files or Bob and I ran, he just can't stop laugh. And he loves it. Smiling right there and just shitting grin. That grin got smacked right off his face this week. I just showed you a look. Think of what Israel's getting. They're not going to be nuked. It's very simple. I told baby, baby, your biggest risk was that they drop a nuclear weapon into the middle of Israel. They don't need one. Shaking it 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, just recorded with pomp. Don't ever give these people what they want. When you see him 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 court sided in next game. But if he is any heckling that would occur should be directed at him instead of the opposing. 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 in all that. But that's near the hearing heart there. We'll come back to him for sure. But let's hit a couple of ants 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 of the United States, 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 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 vans killing your way out clip. This is a quick one, but like again, he's not mention words here. This is another one 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 a country 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 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. You know, the 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, attack the president of the United States. And I guess my message to them would be twofold. 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 Miley, but still a point taken. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have. Pause it. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. That's what he's saying. And he's 100% right. But Kurt Metzger weighing in right here in the replies. Way to go. Wow, way to fake grow a pair of balls after mass murdering thousands of 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 Dylan would say, friend of the show right there and actually, friend of the show. But I'm not going to play. They live in, flip down on advance. We've done enough with him today, flipped out on him multiple times. He's trying to take that a different way. JD 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 Gavir. 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 Itomara Ben-Gavir, the Minister of National Security in Israel. And at this point, many of you have heard of him. 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 and 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 advocated for 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. I think you've already got it up. Did this have this earlier today? 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 speeches. 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 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 shooting's less." It's not, you know, it's his 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 weep. 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 that we drag them into, fuck every other country, fuck every other person that's me talking about. 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. There used to be a sign in the central park zoo when you walk past all the animals where I 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 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 execute. They were taken out back and hung within days. Guys like this are wanted by courts like the ICC. They are the Vancouver's band from France. He's banned from Ireland. I think there's other countries 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 and on grotto 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. When they arrested some activists from Europe who were being activists for Gaza, he went in and taunted them and wanted to show them who daddy is, I guess. He's just regular activists. But it's a video. I have the link. But yeah, that's it. You see them. They're laughing as they commit human rights abuses, getting physical with the prisoners and all that. I mean, they're dragging them. Look at them laughing. Psycho. Waving the Israeli flag. Got them all in the prone position like the El Salvador prisons. You know, 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 that they deemed terrorists. This went through a few months ago. And he was where in the build up to getting the law passed, which they celebrated with champagne and a birthday cake because 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? I think I put it. There's a lot of links. I'm sorry. Diffle pull it up. I put like 40 links right there. So he's going to find 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 king makers 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 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 is a racial supremacist. He is a cajonist. Now, cajon, 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 reverse, if you will. And he was so damaging that the United States actually declared cajonism a terrorist organization. And I believe 2002 or 2004, 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, there's no proof that they're currently active. Ben Kavir looks pretty active to me. I don't know, if you look active to you, looks active. Yeah. So, cajonism is religious, Zionist ideology based on the views of rabbi and mayor here, mayor, cajoner, founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Israeli political party, cock. Is that how you say? I didn't think it's a catch. I don't know. Whatever. cajon believed the most, 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 Koch party has been banned by the Israeli government. It lives on through guys like Ben Kavir, under other names. In 2014, the United States State Department designated a foreign terrorist organization. 2022, it was removed from the U.S. terror blacklist due to insufficient evidence that the group's ongoing activity, but it remains especially designated global terrorist entity. Sounds like nice people. Now, a famous subscriber, if you will, of cajonism was a guy named Baruch Goldstein. In 1994, Baruch Goldstein went into a mosque, dressed in an fake idea of uniform, I believe, Idea, funeral, disgeys. And. Executed 29 people injured a bunch of others before he was eventually Over-taken by the people in the mosque who just went there to worship their religion and you know He was he was a cawness and a racist and a supremacist and all these things and for two decades Ben Gavir had a portrait Of Bruce 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 Bruce 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 Diff so it mara Ben Gavir met his wife in 2002 So it was several it was after the 90s 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 I don't know if there was penetration there. Diff maybe there wasn't but kind of interesting this guy is a 26-year-old was dating a 15-year-old Something might say on brand One of the things that Design as faction will 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 mirrors to why some of that may occur It's not defending the terrorist actions. I will always condemn that someone grows up a growth 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 and 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 and then y'all who'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 And 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 We're zero to five years old when that happened You can see how one gets to the other again in no way not 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 at Gaza and stuff Don't you think some of these kids who watch their mom and dad get blown up their kid There's little sister get blown to bits who woke up in the rubble Don't you think when they get up they're gonna have a lot of hate in their heart I don't know about you. D if I would It sounds about right. You know, 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 miss 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 hatredful man's but when I look at a guy like Ben Gavir This is someone whose mother was in the Ergun Okay, there's a link there deep Below that I'm just gonna go through some of the things that the Ergun was responsible for this was a right wing terror group In Israel later Manachem Began who was one of the leaders of the Ergun If not the leader became the prime minister of Israel in the 1970s that's neither here nor there But they are responsible for the king david hotel bombing on July 22nd 1946 the killed 91 people Arab Jewish civil servants and civilians and obviously a lot of British who they wanted to get out the country who did leave after that By the way Prior to Israel being formed the Daria C. massacre on April 9, 1948 in conjunction with the military Leahy Stern gang group Ergun commanded rated the Arab village of Daria scene 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 is 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 it's part of their international campaign against the British mandate The Ergun bomb 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 Natanya region and later executed them hanging their bodies in the Eucalyptus Grove In retaliation for the execution of Ergun members There was another group at this time called the Haganah which was didn't I don't think it had an official leader but a part of the leadership was David Bangerian 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 Poison water supplies and wells and 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 Ergun 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 Guevier's mom put this in his heart. This is someone who celebrated Yet sacrabine being executed by a far right wing Israeli assassin in 1995 I want to say in the build up 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 and an Israeli terrorist in this case who did that He's still in prison to the state but Ben Guevier supported things like that because yet sacrabine 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 Guevier 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 brown war and I would like to be able to pull out Of that and have no further casualties and on top of the 13 that we've already taken and the many who were injured as well You know, so I can't just sit here and play video games with like 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 there Calls for violence in place like Lebanon need to be decried At the highest level and one of the things I tweeted out. I quote tweeted Ben Guevier's latest misive about Lebanon And taking the land. I'm gonna show a couple other things you said about Lebanon just in over the last two months in a minute But I quoted it with believe it was a 54 second clip from the dark night great movie Christopher Nolan obviously second in the backman trilogy where Michael Cain Alfred the butler is talking to Bruce Wayne in the bat layer about the Joker and he tells a story about This man that he had hunted years before in Burma who you know was just A rater and he would he would steal all these all these rubies and everything and when they eventually Got to Burma search and form 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 him and what Alfred said to him I don't have the exact quote in front of me some 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 is wrong on every level. If you're gonna have them, you have to play fair and you have to have the conversation for everyone. And that includes part of why this shit my own government does, too. 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, when the MOU was coming out, he called it a bad deal for Israel. I know Treada Treada about that. Treada Parsi, who was on my show for episode 382, really good guy. He was on Tucker this week because Barry Wise 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 episode 382, which was recorded, maybe like four weeks before the Iran War broke out, bar for bar word for word, Treada called how this would go. Perfectly, joke can't ask, if you will. And they don't like that. Barry Wise 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 the Israel will quote not allow it. Nation of 9 million people that relies on all of our funding to do whatever the fuck they do. Well, not allow it. We'll 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 Nahfah. Let's, well, it's not, it's in Hebrews. I don't want to play the video, but he says we, this is from Ben Gavir, he publicly and repeatedly calls to flatten Beiruts to he. He says quote, we need to go after to 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. Smotras, 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, 'cause 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 Smotras, the finance minister, repeat exact things about taking the land in Lebanon and not giving it up. There's a video of Smotras, I do want to play where he says destroy Lebanon right here. And I remind you, Smotras was just an 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 did not, not that one, not that one. It's the one that says finance minister, Smotras, 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 someone was injured in Lebanon. Yes, Baruch, the songs down in rehabilitation, he's improving in a very fast pace. Hope within two weeks he'll be released, transferred. It'll be a few months, but he has 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. Thank you very much for coming. So we 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, 'cause the captions are small and coming in fast. But like, that's the thought process. Does that sound like people who are going to abide by a piece, still 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 this is what he was talking about, that the unreasonable people within that faction that they don't respond to anything. So you can't, if something like that is gonna 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 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 always have other than that. If you haven't subscribed, please subscribe. I appreciate all of you. We got Rob O'Neill this week, as I said, and also Anthony Popliano for a very fun back and forth that was like three and a half hours coming out on Friday as well, so keep your eyes tuned for that and thank you to everyone who's been sharing the show around.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The U.S. and Iran have signed a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war, with a 60-day period for implementation and potential sanctions relief.
The deal includes a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran using frozen assets, drawing criticism as a repeat of the 2015 Iran deal but with significantly larger financial terms.
Key controversy surrounds Israel’s exclusion from the negotiations, with Israeli officials denying the agreement binds them, and ongoing military operations in Lebanon, including ethnic cleansing-like actions.
Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu and defense ministers, have openly challenged the MOU’s legitimacy and vowed to continue attacks in Lebanon, violating international norms.
Prominent figures like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Josh Hammer have criticized the deal, with many expressing anti-American or anti-Israeli sentiments, often rooted in ideological loyalty rather than geopolitical reality.
There is growing evidence that Netanyahu is using right-wing media and political figures, including Mark Levin, to influence U.S. policy, raising concerns about foreign interference in domestic politics.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, made controversial claims that Israel is foundational to American identity, contradicting historical facts and undermining the principle of national sovereignty.
The show highlights the dangerous politicization of criticism of Israel, where dissent is labeled as anti-Semitism, restricting free speech and deepening societal division.
Summary:
S. and Iran to end the ongoing war, which includes a 60-day implementation period, lifting of sanctions, and a $300 billion reconstruction plan. A central point of contention is Israel’s exclusion from the negotiations and its continued military actions in Lebanon, where it has displaced tens of thousands and engaged in actions resembling ethnic cleansing.
S. allies who claim to support Israel yet oppose peace efforts. S.
policy. S. foreign policy.
Additionally, figures like Mike Huckabee are accused of promoting false narratives about Israel’s foundational role in American identity, despite historical inaccuracy. The host stresses that criticism of governments—especially Israel—should be protected under free speech, not labeled as anti-Semitism, and warns that such tactics fuel racism and suppress democratic discourse. The episode underscores the complexity of the conflict, the risks of foreign interference, and the urgent need for a transparent, impartial, and diplomatic resolution to end the war.
FAQs
The MOU, or Memorandum of Understanding, is a 14-point agreement that includes a 60-day period to end the war. Key terms include lifting economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for compliance with nuclear protocols, releasing frozen assets, and a plan for $300 billion in reconstruction. However, the deal does not guarantee the elimination of Iran’s nuclear program or eliminate support for terrorism.
Israel’s government, particularly far-right figures, opposes the MOU because it excludes Israel from negotiations and allows for continued Israeli military presence in southern Lebanon. They argue that the agreement does not bind them to stop attacks on Hezbollah and that their occupation of Lebanese territory constitutes a violation of the deal.
No, Israel was not included in the negotiations. Reports indicate that Israel requested to see the MOU before signing, but the offer was declined. This exclusion has raised concerns about the fairness and legitimacy of the agreement, especially since Israel claims it is not bound by the terms.
Critics argue that JD Vance’s role as a key negotiator has been inconsistent, with earlier statements appearing hesitant and unconvincing. Recently, however, he has become a more assertive and articulate public figure, which some interpret as a shift from previous indecisiveness, though not necessarily reflecting a change in policy.
Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin strongly oppose the deal, claiming it fails to achieve key U.S. goals like eliminating Iran’s nuclear program or ending terrorism. They also accuse Israel of being a primary driver of the conflict and express concern that the U.S. is being influenced by foreign powers, including Israel, undermining American sovereignty.
There is growing concern that Israeli leaders, such as Netanyahu, are using U.S. media figures and politicians—including Mark Levin and pro-Israel senators—to influence U.S. policy. Critics argue this represents a dangerous form of foreign influence, undermining democratic decision-making and potentially endangering American national interests.
