Best Podcasts on Trump's Iran War Stance

“Donald Trump sat with NBC and here is what he said. He says that he was very surprised that Iran decided to attack other Middle Eastern countries in response to the U.S.-Israeli strike operation... And he said, most of it is gone, but we may have to hit it a few more times, and we may need to do that just for fun. You know, when you say that, You create further rallying calls for the people of Iran around the new Ayatollah, Punjab.”

“"Clay, it's like Trump is the chief poker player, and he has put a whole mound of chips in the middle of the table on this Iran thing. If he wins, if he gets this done, I mean, that's amazing... Now, would I have made the bet? No. But I'm not Donald Trump, and I'm not the commander-in-chief."”

“Trump doesn't seem to know the game that's even being played, and he continues to set these red lines, continues to blow through them, and continues to fail to reach any sort of substantive diplomatic agreement. Right now, Trump's plan seems to have backfired very badly. I want to make it clear, I don't want it to backfire. What I root against are bad decisions, poor decision-making coming from the highest echelons of our government.”

“Trump threatening a whole civilization is quite a scary, ominous, genocidal threat. At the same time, Iran is not currently having a choke on the world's oil for no reason. They're trying to gain any leverage they can in a war that the United States started. We don't have the moral high ground when we say we're going to end their entire civilization.”

“Trump has been trying to kind of portray Iran as like this you know almost like everybody's there like living in caves and they're like not civilized... But all the things that the Iranian people keep saying... is like actually the Iranian people are some of the most educated people... and they're saying look at these bloodthirsty maniacs in the united states who just want to kill and commit war crimes.”

“Joe Kent tweeted out, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. All right, so you hear that, and you think, okay, the guy's an isolationist, and he hates Israel.”

“And right now, the markets are reacting horribly to Donald Trump's abhorrent and unlawful war against Iran. Investors are now betting that the overall U.S. inflation in the next 12 months will surge above 5%. We're now talking about likely interest rate hikes versus lowering interest rates as a result of this disastrous war and the inflation that it's going to cause.”

“Donald Trump is panicking as world leaders are publicly predicting catastrophic fallout from Donald Trump's disastrous war, no matter what happens from here on out. Also, you have the Iranian regime rebuking Donald Trump yet again and saying, let's be very clear, we are not negotiating with Donald Trump or anyone in the Trump regime. Donald Trump attempted to manipulate the markets yet again earlier this morning, and for a short period of time, he did that. But then the markets turned against him yet again and turned against the American people yet again as the consequences of his lies, his deceit, his catastrophic war are now clearly setting in yet again.”

“The Irish president has said that your war against Iran is illegal. It's an attack on international law. Who said that? The Irish president. Look, he's lucky I exist. That's all I can say. Because if you're going to allow countries that are sick and demented, and they are demented, to have nuclear weapons, everybody in the whole world should be very thankful. And I'm disappointed in NATO, very disappointed.”

“And then finally, you have Senator Cotton on state regime media, and he's out there saying, President Trump said in January to all those protesters, help is on the way. Help is on the way folks We did it Operation Epic Fury As we said on the Midas Touch Network tens of thousands of Iranians were slaughtered in January as a result of Trump not taking action then giving them false hope back then And then in Operation Epic Fury, Donald Trump bombed an elementary school of little girls, killed 150 little girls.”

“We have Donald Trump privately telling his cabinet and telling people in the White House that he truly doubts the Strait of Hormuz will ever fully reopen soon... And there may be just an entire Middle East war that could break out very soon. And then Donald Trump, while all this is going on, while Magamike has abandoned Congress, Trump's just calling up the New York Post and saying things like this.”

“Iran has officially told mediators it is not willing to meet U.S. officials in Pakistan. They're not even willing to meet in the coming days. And the U.S. demands are unacceptable. Details include, one, the current round of efforts to reach a ceasefire has reached a dead end, mediators said. Two, Turkey and Egypt are still pushing to find a way forward and are considering new venues for the talks.”

“Trump threatens to start hitting power plants, civilian and energy infrastructure. That's a war crime, we should just say. When Trump announced that Iran was getting a five-day reprieve from attacks on their power supply or oil infrastructure, power infrastructure, because the two sides were having very good and productive conversations. Now, everyone, especially the Iranians, seems surprised by this claim.”

“I'm really annoyed about the media efforts again to destroy what took a lot of guts to go over and take out the Iranian mullah theocracy trying to build nuclear weapons when no one else would do it... There is no question we're in a better place. There are people who spent their entire lives studying the Iran problem who were flabbergasted that a builder from New York kicked him in the ass.”

“The mere fact that Trump agreed to it has signaled to the rest of the world that Donald Trump is weak and pathetic in many ways. When Trump begged Pakistan before Trump's own self-imposed 8 p.m. Eastern time deadline on Tuesday. Please, can you get Iran to re-offer us the 10-point plan? We'll agree to it. We'll agree to it. I mean, the Trump regime literally drafted the social media posts for Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan, right?”

“"Donald Trump is, is an actual lion. Donald Trump shows teeth when he's supposed to show teeth. Donald Trump is the one that's actually doing things. And that's true. That is, it's why it's so silly when the anti-war people, the quote unquote anti-war people think they're better than everybody. I'm anti-war, so I'm better than everybody, right?"”

“"I agree with President Trump. He does seem like a nice guy... putting aside even the question of whether or not we should be in Iran or how the war should be conducted now, the left wants division within the administration. The left wants to crack up the coalition that Trump built, not just the left, but our enemies abroad."”

“General Mattis, who is a four-star general, says that Donald Trump has no plan at all when it comes to this disastrous war in Iran. General Mattis says it will take at least 8 to 12 years to try to rebuild America's relationships with our former allies after Donald Trump eviscerated it by attacking NATO, by attacking our former allies. And General Mattis makes it clear that he believes that this Iranian regime is not going to be toppled.”

“One of the bigger issues that's been happening in the online world is that out of the Tucker, sadly, Megyn Kelly space has been this series of people that have been telling you everything Trump does, that Trump's not in charge, he doesn't know what he's doing, he's being manipulated, that it's gonna lead to World War III. Like, it's just a series of crazy misadventures.”

“He's the world's worst businessman. He is the world's worst negotiator. Now he's not dealing with a business entity. I mean, in some respects he is, but he's dealing with a country and he's dealing with soldiers and citizens and civilians. And he's got no idea what he's doing, Ben. Where do you want to start off today, big bro? Well, look, if you don't want to say, here's what Trump said, here's what Iran's been saying.”
