“Your contention that the two alternatives are (1) "negotiating with bad people" or (2) "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is silly and reductive. Of course. Not every bad actor is bad in the same way; not all negotiations are equal; few victories require total annihilation rather than thorough defeat. The question is how much force is required to achieve America's interest. The answer depends on several factors, including the reliability of Iran's commitments; the credibility of our threat of force; and the amount of pain they can withstand and our willingness to bring that amount of pain to bear. But here's what won't do it: taking the Obama position that the only alternative to "demanding war until every possible enemy is dead" is cutting a truly crappy deal with an overtly dishonest enemy dedicated to destroying America and her allies. But I think you know that. Which is why you went with the reductive silliness.”
on how much force is needed against Iran short of full-scale war
“The American people are I should say not particularly concerned about that. We are far more concerned with why we're there not winning. I think that we actually ought to do it.”
on Americans prioritizing military victory over strategic debate in Iran
“Tisha B'Av commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples, located on the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem, Israel. You know, historic and current Jewish territory. Thanks for your best wishes.”
on Temple Mount Jewish territorial claims commemoration
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.”
“On today's show: As confusion reigns regarding the endgame in Iran, some are calling for a total American pacifism and isolationism; Jon Stewart continues his Mamdani protection tour; and Sophie Cunningham says women shouldn’t have to play against men. https:// open.spotify.com/episode/0oFgxT 0lL3bdHirYYTUBfL …”
“Jon Stewart says that Zohran Mamdani and the DSA are all good-hearted wood nymphs who just want “affordability.” All the communist, anti-American crap is just an act. The real energy is around affordability. That’s massive cope. The radical anti-Americanism is the energy. Hasan”
on DSA's actual political agenda versus affordability focus
“It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight. https:// open.spotify.com/episode/38vGLF QdRN2C5rP1ZjtCRF …”
on Muslim immigration and the Michigan Senate primary
“We don’t need a Tucker third party dedicated to conspiratorial retardation. But it is quite odd that all those who constantly carp about intraparty division go completely silent when it’s the half-crazed horseshoe threatening that division. Plus, we discuss “common good” conservatism. The post-liberal movement is militantly anti-Declaration and Constitution. And they’re wrong.”
“Anthony Fauci destroyed the credibility of science and government in the name of his own ego. Now we have the proof. Plus, it’s time for Trump to fire the leakers. And prosecute them. And globalize the Intifada was a call to murder. And it’s happening from New York to Berlin to Paris. https:// open.spotify.com/episode/5PCeR0 YGOdbhHbRCQxkrSr …”
“So, the WNBA has a choice: it can be a female basketball league with stars for whom young girls can root. Or it can be a militantly LGBTQ+-/ league predominantly filled with annoying and obnoxious and entitled players, none of whom would be able to take a decent public school varsity 14-year-old boy one-on-one. Their choice. Plus, Fauci takes the Fifth, the latest on Iran, and why a country song is burning up the charts. https:// open.spotify.com/episode/6PK1A8 0Zb6WdM4TkYQedWt …”
