You're right that the American administration pushed back and all of the administration's allies pushed back because they said, oh, wait, no, that's the reason we want to be in Iran in the first place.

But Israel doesn't want Iran for that reason.

Israel wants to destabilize Iran and take out the state writ large so that they can be a regional hegemon.

And so you're seeing the Israeli interest in the war prevailing over the American interest in the war, which were slim to begin with.

And that's a huge issue for us because who has the leverage here?

Is it us, the biggest and most powerful country in the world, or is it the smaller state that's the size of New Jersey in the Middle East who seems to control our politics?

What does it tell you about the Democrats that those are probably the three most effective communicators against Trump's war, the most clear and lucid communicators against the war?

What does that tell you?

What does that tell you?

To me, it tells me that the Democrats are captured by the same special interests that the Trump administration is.

I mean, 505 out of 538 members of Congress have accepted a pro-Israel lobbying or campaign contribution, lobbying check or campaign contribution.

That's 94%.

I mean, if it was 33%, you'd say, whoa, that's a pretty big swath.

66, you're starting to say, oh, that might be, could be captured.

94, you're all the way off the deep end.

I mean, look, congressional Republicans told Politico that in briefings, they've been hearing that this war is costing $2 billion a day.

And I think that Republican voters and some of the more intellectually honest Republican commentators, like the three that we just heard from there, are starting to grow wiser to the fact that

all those times that the republicans told us that we couldn't afford universal health care we couldn't afford a higher uh federal minimum wage we couldn't afford uh the green new deal um why haven't we been having any conversations about the national debt or deficit when it comes to this war which is costing us two billion dollars a day the congressional budget office told us that medicare for all would save us 650 billion dollars a year this is costing us 2 billion a day and the rhetoric is entirely different i think what you're seeing from trump is that

nothing's actually changed with him on policy he's just gotten older and he's lost discipline in his rhetoric and so what marjorie taylor green is saying there is what happened to the man that i supported what happened is that he lost discipline he lost control over his rhetoric he's not as good of a showman and now we're seeing what he's always thought which is the same type of thought circles that go around in the elitist environment that he grew up in in manhattan

We should encourage him to do that.
