The looming conflict with Iran raises pressing questions about American national security, global stability, and the complex dynamics of domestic politics. Why should Americans care about Iran's nuclear ambitions? The answer transcends simple allegiances to Israel—it's about preventing a regime guided by religious extremism from acquiring weapons that could ultimately threaten American soil.
When examining Iran's capabilities, we must recognize the critical difference between their leadership and other nuclear powers. Unlike North Korea's pragmatic dictatorship, Iran's theocratic leaders embrace martyrdom as virtuous. This religious zealotry makes traditional deterrence strategies potentially ineffective. Meanwhile, disrupting Iran's oil exports creates strategic leverage against China, which depends entirely on Middle Eastern energy—revealing how Middle East policy connects directly to our competition with Beijing and broader national interests.
Against this backdrop, I explore why Jewish Americans predominantly vote Democratic despite many holding economically conservative views. The answer lies in the persistent anti-Semitism from figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who perpetuate dangerous tropes about Jewish power and influence. While problematic voices exist on both sides of the political spectrum, right-wing anti-Semitism is perceived as more mainstream within Republican circles, explaining why "when push comes to shove, we value our lives far more than money." This political reality demonstrates how identity and security concerns often transcend economic interests in shaping voting patterns. As military action in the Middle East unfolds, these intersecting forces of national security, geopolitical strategy, and domestic politics will continue shaping America's response to global challenges.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, ladies and germs.
Ladies and germs, listen to me,it's me, herbie, your host on a
Radical Reset Today.
Well, I'm going to opine onwhat's going on in the Middle
East and the impending attack onIran, but from, I think, a
little different angle, and Iwant to talk about the reason
most Jews are Democrats.
(00:24):
Now, I know this sounds like itwouldn't be connected to the
subject matter at hand directly,but it is, so.
Stick with me, I want to talkabout it and I want to focus on
a couple of personalities.
So let me just start up.
There is no rational case to bemade, no objective case to be
(00:47):
made, not to attack Iran.
If you're the president of theUnited States, I'm just going to
make that as a flat statement,and that's for a very simple
reason For the people who cannotunderstand why it's in
America's interest not justIsrael's interest, but America's
interest to take out theIranian nuclear capability and
(01:08):
possibly decapitate the regime,and why this is not a war of
regime change.
I'm going to explain thatbriefly and then I'm going to
talk about anti-Semitism in thecontext of why Jews in America
are mostly Democrats.
When you would think, with aguy like President Trump who has
Jewish grandchildren and aJewish daughter and son-in-law
(01:30):
and is a great friend of Israel,in fact the best friend Israel
has ever had in the Oval Office.
Why aren't Jews flocking to theRepublican Party and joining up
?
And it's going to all be partof this discussion today and I'm
going to go quickly, but sofirst let's talk about why.
It's in US interest, not justIsrael's interest.
Israel's not pulling us intothis war.
(01:53):
Folks, I hear a lot of armchairgeneraling by people who have
never served a day in themilitary nor have any
understanding of globalperspective and issues and
military strategies and whatgoes on.
I know I've said in a previouspodcast that war is the last
step of diplomacy, is theultimate step of diplomacy, and
(02:15):
that without war diplomacy meansnothing.
I stand by that and in thiscase we tried to talk them out
of it.
But here's the thing they haveballistic missiles.
Let's put aside the nuclearquestion for just one moment.
Nobody really argues that ifIran wants to have a nuclear
missile, there is nodisagreement, not between the
United States or France orEngland or Germany or any other.
(02:37):
There is rare world unanimitythat Iran is a state on the edge
of developing a nuclear weaponand nobody wants them to have it
.
There is an odd unanimity.
Even a country like France, whohas been weak on the issue of
Hamas and Gaza, from Israel'spoint of view, is incredibly
(03:01):
strong when it comes to Iran.
They have all seen theintelligence.
There's no doubt about it.
There's been a lot ofintelligence sharing going on,
as you can tell by the precisionof Israel's attacks.
They know everything that'sgoing on in that regime and
there's simply no doubt about it.
Now, when you add that to aballistic missile ballistic
means guys, that word getsthrown around a lot it means
that the missile gets to outerspace before it comes back down
(03:23):
again.
So it means that the missilegets to outer space before it
comes back down again.
So it's really just a questionof power and aerodynamics If you
can make a missile, and theyhave one.
It's a Persian name that startswith an S.
I think it's an S, you know,shobashadeh or something like
that.
That's not the name, don'twrite me, I just made that up,
but it's some Iranian name likethat.
They already have one that cango 3,000 kilometers and there's
(03:49):
approximately 1.8 kilometers permile.
So you're looking at a missilethey have now that can shoot
about 2,000 miles Now that stillwon't get to the United States
by a long shot.
But Korea was in that very sameposition and now has ballistic
missiles that can reach theUnited States and Iran.
It will not take them long todevelop a ballistic missile that
can reach the United States.
(04:09):
It'll be much easier for themto do that than to actually make
a nuclear warhead itself.
So they could easily have asimilar brain within range, and
Iran would be the worst stateactor in the world, worse than
North Korea.
And the reason that they'reworse than North Korea is the
North Koreans are atheists andKim would like to be in power
(04:34):
and enjoy the fruits of his workand enjoy his life here,
because he has no belief inafterlife.
But we have a fanatic regime runby Islamist fanatics who really
believe there are 48 virgins.
I might have the wrong numberof virgins there.
It might be 46.
It might be 46.
(04:59):
It might be 49.
But I believe it's 48 virginswaiting for them in the
afterlife to celebrate theirgood fortune.
And if you really believe thatand you really believe that the
United States is the great Satanand they really believe it,
there's nothing that wouldindicate otherwise.
Don't think like an American.
Don't think to yourself wherethey're just saying that they
don't mean it, they absolutelymean it.
You know, one of the interestingthings that came out about the
Soviet Union after it fell andno, I'm not changing the subject
(05:20):
is that in 1992, when BorisYeltsin opened up the archives
of the KGB and we got to see allthe private notes and
conversations and things of theinner circles of Soviet power,
from Lenin all the way to thevery end, and Gorbachev, of all
of those guys, they believed it.
They were committed communists.
(05:42):
It wasn't lip service, theyweren't making lips.
You know, in private, stalinwas a committed communist and
believed basically and this ishow a sociopath thinks, but
you've basically got to break alot of eggs to make an omelet so
he understood that he hadkilled millions of people but it
was in service of the greatergood.
He was a committed communistand socialist.
(06:03):
Well, we have people that are100 times more dangerous than
that in the Iranians becausethey're committed Islamist
fanatics and believe thatthey'll be rewarded for doing
this very thing.
And there is, and they havebeen very consistent.
Don't try to read in yourAmerican values into an Eastern
religious mind.
You're going to get very, verywell, you're just wrong.
(06:24):
Okay, so that's that, that'snumber one.
But now let's trend.
And the oh, by the way, theother thing that's in the US
interest, besides, sparing thisnuclear attack ultimately and
you can't wait for this tohappen you can't wait for the
day when they actually have theballistic missiles, because then
they can blackmail us.
It just takes a launch and oneto get through and, as you can
see by Israel's vauntedbest-in-the-world missile
(06:45):
defense, sometimes ballisticmissiles in particular get
through.
So that's number one.
Number two is China.
Now, not that the Chinese aregoing to come to the aid of the
Iranians, but this puts us in aterrific position in our
negotiations with the Chinese,because the Chinese derive 100%
of their oil, not part of it.
All of it from the Middle Eastand almost all of that from Iran
(07:09):
.
And because of that, if this isthe reason, by the way, the
Karg Island, which is theIranian facility where they
refine and ship their oiloverseas and where the ships
come to pick it up, the tankers,has not been destroyed by
Israel, and that's strictly, I'mcertain, at the request of the
United States, who wants to useit as a bargaining chip against
(07:31):
the Chinese.
It would only make sense andthink about it.
So the Chinese who right now, bythe way, are in a desperate
situation economically if you'vebeen following it at all, I
mean really desperate, like asbad as it could possibly be it's
at the brink of economiccollapse and I believe, as a
(07:52):
side note, a year from now Chinawill not resemble the China we
know today.
Just in one year from today, ifit isn't a full-scale civil war
, the unraveling will haveobviously begun of the country.
And there are collapsingdemographics and horrible,
horrible economic statisticsgoing on and all of the things
that can go wrong with.
(08:12):
Central control has gone wrongand they're digging themselves
in deeper.
But on top of all of that, theyimport all of their energy or
all of their oil that they need.
They do have, by the way, coaland nuclear plants, but they
can't live without oil.
And there you go, live withoutoil, and there you go.
(08:33):
So it's enormously in the USinterest to back Israel and to
be with them in this fight.
It's as much as we could.
We have as much on the line.
We have more on the line insome ways than we did in World
War II, because Hitler couldn'tlaunch a nuclear ballistic
missile at us Just saying, okay,so why?
Let's address the initialquestion I asked why are Jews in
the United States and there'sno doubt about this Jews are
(08:56):
overwhelmingly Democrats, whenDemocrats are clearly the power
of what's the word I'm lookingfor at this point in time.
They are wasteful.
They are, I mean, all thethings that gross all of us out
about progressive politicsgrosses out all the Jews too.
So why did they remain in theDemocratic Party?
(09:18):
And I'm going to give you twonames that are emblematic of the
reason why, and those two namesare Tucker Carlson and Marjorie
Taylor Greene, who are clearlyanti-Semites.
On the right there is a strong.
Historically, the RepublicanParty was the party of the
country clubbers and theanti-Semitic Gentiles for many,
(09:40):
many decades.
It went without saying, andthere used to be a question
asked among Jews and I know this, being Jewish which is
basically why are we capitaliststhat vote like communists?
And the answer is when pushcomes to shove, we value our
lives far more than money andtherefore we as a group not me
personally, but we as a grouphave always and continue to side
(10:02):
with democratic politicsbecause the Republican Party was
historically the party ofanti-Semites.
That has changed dramaticallyin the mainstream of the
Republican Party.
But that fringe has simplymorphed itself.
That anti-Semitic Republicancountry club fringe has morphed
itself to become part of MAGA.
(10:23):
But they can't help themselvesbut allow their nascent
anti-Semitism to come squeakingout, as it did this week with
Tucker Carlson this past weekand Marjorie Taylor Greene, who
over and over and over, refer toJews controlling the defense
establishment, having inordinatecontrol of the American
government.
These are all anti-Semitictropes.
(10:45):
And for those of you who areeven inclined to believe
nonsense like that, jewsrepresent—and Let me see, there
are in the whole world.
There are about 12 million,about 15 million Jews worldwide
in the whole world and half ofthose are in Israel, and all the
rest are spread out all overthe planet.
There's just not enough of us.
(11:05):
You know, if we were runningeverything, how come we keep
getting our heads crapped onover and over and over again
throughout history?
I mean, it's an oldanti-Semitic trope, over and
over and over again throughouthistory.
I mean it's an old anti-Semitictrope and yet it's one that
Tucker Carlson repeats.
He is the living embodiment ofeverything that is repulsive
about that old brand ofright-wing anti-Semite man.
(11:29):
He doesn't wear socks with hisloafers.
He went to LawrencevilleAcademy and Elitist Prep School
in New Jersey.
He went to the Ivy League.
He is born and bred to be ananti-Semite.
Even his name, tucker CarlsonOkay, could there be a more
Gentile anti-Semite name?
And probably not.
And as for Marjorie TaylorGreene, who, on top of her being
(11:52):
an anti-Semite, and who saidmany, many things, guys I'm not
going to list them for you herein a podcast Just Google on
Marjorie Taylor Greeneanti-Semitic comments, and
you'll find plenty.
And Tucker Carlson too.
They just disguise it in thisopportunity to make claims like
(12:13):
Israel is forcing the UnitedStates into a war.
That's just an anti-Semitictrope.
Israel has 9 million people.
2 million of them are IsraeliArabs, so 7 million Jews.
If you believe the Jews are sopowerful.
So you'd have to believe thatthis little teeny country of 7
million people is telling acountry of 340 million people
(12:34):
that you have to do what we tellyou.
It's just mind-boggling.
And then you know.
You see posts like MarjorieTaylor Greene posted.
I saw a post earlier.
We give $3.8 billion a year toIsrael and they should do it.
Folks.
We don't give Israel $3.8billion.
We give Lockheed and NorthropGrumman and Boeing $3.8 billion
(12:57):
a year that we funnel throughIsrael.
So Israel doesn't have a choice.
They're not even asked aboutthis.
This $3.8 billion that goes toIsrael immediately must be spent
as per the deal, so to speak,for American arms, whether
Israel needs them or not.
So all that is is $3.8 billioncreating a lot of American jobs.
(13:19):
If you have a problem with that, then by all means be my guest.
But there's a lot more to theseissues, and these simplistic
anti-Semites know that they pickand choose their facts.
You know figures lie and liarsfigure.
Just remember that Figures lieand liars figure liar's figure.
Just remember that Figures lieand liars figure.
And Jews are Democrats and willcontinue to be until people
(13:40):
like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Now you would ask yourself,with people like Ilhan Omar and
AOC, why aren't Jews leaving theDemocratic Party in droves?
And historically, by historicstandards, they are About a
third of Jews now areRepublicans, but the other
two-thirds they still.
It's hard, it's, you know.
You look at AOC and Ilhan Omarand they're a joke.
(14:02):
They're not even takenseriously by the mainstream of
their own party, where TuckerCarlson and Marjorie Taylor
Greene are extremely seriouslytaken within the Republican
ranks and they are part of thewoke right.
Let's call it, call it whateveryou, I don't know if that's
even the right term for it, butthey're part of that right wing.
They've insidiously infiltratedMAGA and brought their filthy
(14:27):
anti-Semitic ideas with them.
Tucker Carlson is a low.
I knew it, by the way.
Put all the anti-Semitism aside.
And for those of you at thismoment saying, there goes the
Jew with all of his victimhoodstory, you just haven't listened
to me long enough to understand.
But let me cite anotherinstance Tucker Carlson
metaphorically performingfellatio on Putin when he went
(14:51):
to Russia and would point outhow great everything was and how
much better and cheaper theywere in the stores, with no
understanding of what he waslooking at, no understanding of
what Russian per capita incomeis.
Yeah, things are cheaper inRussian stores because Russians
make about a fifth of what we doper capita.
I mean, tucker Carlson'signorance was on display and yet
he's never backed up, backedoff, although he's been told
(15:13):
he's a pig.
I don't often say that aboutpeople, but Tucker Carlson might
be the biggest mainstream pigof all.
In fact, he's definitely thebiggest mainstream pig of all he
had on the other day.
I don't know if you saw this TedCruz Now, ted Cruz is not a
popular person, even among hisfellow senators.
I'm going to blow this joke,but there's some kind of joke
(15:35):
that goes around Washington thatsays one senator asked another
senator why did you instantlyyou seem to instantly hate Ted
Cruz?
And the other senator'sresponse was it saves time.
I know I blew that, buteveryone hates him.
That knows him, so that doesn'tsurprise me.
But you have to hand it to theto him.
(15:56):
He's he's the furthest thingfrom stupid.
And he went on Carlson's show, Ithink, suspect, I think,
probably believing he was goingto have a friendly interview or
a semi-friendly interview.
Anyway, carlson starts playinggotcha with him and asking you
know what's the population ofIran and the names of the
provinces, and so you knowthings that are not really
relevant to the decision-makingof what's in the interest of the
United States.
(16:17):
How many people Iran has unlessthey're going to swim all 92
million of them at us onlypoints to why Israel would be
afraid of them.
Imagine that you're a countryof 9 million people and you're
surrounded at one point by abillion hostile neighbors.
Now, thanks to the AbrahamAccords and thanks to making
peace with Sunni Islam, israeldoes not have as many hostile
(16:37):
neighbors as they once did.
But Iran still has more than 10times the population of Israel.
So you know, like in a land warit would be a real big problem.
But you know, of course it's anirrelevant consideration in the
era of modern weaponry.
So why did Hunter Carlson playgotcha with Ted Cruz?
To give him a cover to go aheadand move on with his
(17:00):
anti-Semitic crap.
So I know I wouldn't.
Really.
That's about as nasty as I get,guys.
You just heard me at mynastiest Cause.
I really really find TuckerCarlson and Marjorie Taylor
green repellent, human reptilianslugs, putrefying maggots, of
(17:23):
mendacity.
I mean, they're absolutely themost.
I just I cannot put into wordshow little I like these people
and why they have a following.
I've tried to listen to TuckerCarlson long before the Israeli
issue and long before hisanti-Semitism came out so
clearly and I have neverrespected.
He's of weak intellect and youknow he's a man that puts on a
(17:47):
good show of being bright whenin fact he's not bright.
What he is is a snob from asnob's background.
And anyway, I've made my point.
How do I close by sayingsomething nice, okay, so today
is June the 18th.
I'm just going to make aprediction.
(18:10):
I believe that the attack fromthe United States will come
sometime between now, when I'mrecording this podcast, it's
5.30 in the evening.
I'm a little bit late today forother reasons.
I had some other stuff I had totake care of Between now 5.30
in the evening on the 18th andthe morning of the 20th.
This will all be over becausethat would be six days, the 13th
through the 19th and I believe,for symbolic reasons alone,
(18:33):
israel will wrap this puppy upin six days, in other words, the
six-day war I'm alluding to,where Israel mopped up the
ground with the combined armiesof the entire Arab world back in
1967.
Okay, that's all of the historylesson.
That's all of my rant for today.
This is a fairly brief podcast.
I've made my point.
To summarize Jews are stillDemocrats because of people like
(18:58):
Tucker Carlson and MarjorieTaylor Greene, who are using the
Iran issue, where clearly theUnited States has a national
interest in its own defense, asan excuse to let their
anti-Semitic freak flags fly.
And that's it for today.
Thanks very much.
Have a beautiful rest of yourday.
(19:19):
I'll talk to you on Friday andhopefully we'll be talking about
the aftermath of this and we'llspend some time on that, or who
only knows what happens betweennow and Friday.
Things happen so fast thesedays, who knows.
Have a beautiful rest of yourday.
God bless you and God blessAmerica.

(07:31):
the Chinese.
It would only make sense andthink about it.
So the Chinese who right now, bythe way, are in a desperate
situation economically if you'vebeen following it at all, I
mean really desperate, like asbad as it could possibly be it's
at the brink of economiccollapse and I believe, as a
(07:52):
side note, a year from now Chinawill not resemble the China we
know today.
Just in one year from today, ifit isn't a full-scale civil war
, the unraveling will haveobviously begun of the country.
And there are collapsingdemographics and horrible,
horrible economic statisticsgoing on and all of the things
that can go wrong with.
(08:12):
Central control has gone wrongand they're digging themselves
in deeper.
But on top of all of that, theyimport all of their energy or
all of their oil that they need.
They do have, by the way, coaland nuclear plants, but they
can't live without oil.
And there you go, live withoutoil, and there you go.
(08:33):
So it's enormously in the USinterest to back Israel and to
be with them in this fight.
It's as much as we could.
We have as much on the line.
We have more on the line insome ways than we did in World
War II, because Hitler couldn'tlaunch a nuclear ballistic
missile at us Just saying, okay,so why?
Let's address the initialquestion I asked why are Jews in
the United States and there'sno doubt about this Jews are
(08:56):
overwhelmingly Democrats, whenDemocrats are clearly the power
of what's the word I'm lookingfor at this point in time.
They are wasteful.
They are, I mean, all thethings that gross all of us out
about progressive politicsgrosses out all the Jews too.
So why did they remain in theDemocratic Party?
(09:18):
And I'm going to give you twonames that are emblematic of the
reason why, and those two namesare Tucker Carlson and Marjorie
Taylor Greene, who are clearlyanti-Semites.
On the right there is a strong.
Historically, the RepublicanParty was the party of the
country clubbers and theanti-Semitic Gentiles for many,
(09:40):
many decades.
It went without saying, andthere used to be a question
asked among Jews and I know this, being Jewish which is
basically why are we capitaliststhat vote like communists?
And the answer is when pushcomes to shove, we value our
lives far more than money andtherefore we as a group not me
personally, but we as a grouphave always and continue to side
(10:02):
with democratic politicsbecause the Republican Party was
historically the party ofanti-Semites.
That has changed dramaticallyin the mainstream of the
Republican Party.
But that fringe has simplymorphed itself.
That anti-Semitic Republicancountry club fringe has morphed
itself to become part of MAGA.
(10:23):
But they can't help themselvesbut allow their nascent
anti-Semitism to come squeakingout, as it did this week with
Tucker Carlson this past weekand Marjorie Taylor Greene, who
over and over and over, refer toJews controlling the defense
establishment, having inordinatecontrol of the American
government.
These are all anti-Semitictropes.
(10:45):
And for those of you who areeven inclined to believe
nonsense like that, jewsrepresent—and Let me see, there
are in the whole world.
There are about 12 million,about 15 million Jews worldwide
in the whole world and half ofthose are in Israel, and all the
rest are spread out all overthe planet.
There's just not enough of us.
(11:05):
You know, if we were runningeverything, how come we keep
getting our heads crapped onover and over and over again
throughout history?
I mean, it's an oldanti-Semitic trope, over and
over and over again throughouthistory.
I mean it's an old anti-Semitictrope and yet it's one that
Tucker Carlson repeats.
He is the living embodiment ofeverything that is repulsive
about that old brand ofright-wing anti-Semite man.
(11:29):
He doesn't wear socks with hisloafers.
He went to LawrencevilleAcademy and Elitist Prep School
in New Jersey.
He went to the Ivy League.
He is born and bred to be ananti-Semite.
Even his name, tucker CarlsonOkay, could there be a more
Gentile anti-Semite name?
And probably not.
And as for Marjorie TaylorGreene, who, on top of her being
(11:52):
an anti-Semite, and who saidmany, many things, guys I'm not
going to list them for you herein a podcast Just Google on
Marjorie Taylor Greeneanti-Semitic comments, and
you'll find plenty.
And Tucker Carlson too.
They just disguise it in thisopportunity to make claims like
(12:13):
Israel is forcing the UnitedStates into a war.
That's just an anti-Semitictrope.
Israel has 9 million people.
2 million of them are IsraeliArabs, so 7 million Jews.
If you believe the Jews are sopowerful.
So you'd have to believe thatthis little teeny country of 7
million people is telling acountry of 340 million people
(12:34):
that you have to do what we tellyou.
It's just mind-boggling.
And then you know.
You see posts like MarjorieTaylor Greene posted.
I saw a post earlier.
We give $3.8 billion a year toIsrael and they should do it.
Folks.
We don't give Israel $3.8billion.
We give Lockheed and NorthropGrumman and Boeing $3.8 billion
(12:57):
a year that we funnel throughIsrael.
So Israel doesn't have a choice.
They're not even asked aboutthis.
This $3.8 billion that goes toIsrael immediately must be spent
as per the deal, so to speak,for American arms, whether
Israel needs them or not.
So all that is is $3.8 billioncreating a lot of American jobs.
(13:19):
If you have a problem with that, then by all means be my guest.
But there's a lot more to theseissues, and these simplistic
anti-Semites know that they pickand choose their facts.
You know figures lie and liarsfigure.
Just remember that Figures lieand liars figure liar's figure.
Just remember that Figures lieand liars figure.
And Jews are Democrats and willcontinue to be until people
(13:40):
like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Now you would ask yourself,with people like Ilhan Omar and
AOC, why aren't Jews leaving theDemocratic Party in droves?
And historically, by historicstandards, they are About a
third of Jews now areRepublicans, but the other
two-thirds they still.
It's hard, it's, you know.
You look at AOC and Ilhan Omarand they're a joke.
(14:02):
They're not even takenseriously by the mainstream of
their own party, where TuckerCarlson and Marjorie Taylor
Greene are extremely seriouslytaken within the Republican
ranks and they are part of thewoke right.
Let's call it, call it whateveryou, I don't know if that's
even the right term for it, butthey're part of that right wing.
They've insidiously infiltratedMAGA and brought their filthy
(14:27):
anti-Semitic ideas with them.
Tucker Carlson is a low.
I knew it, by the way.
Put all the anti-Semitism aside.
And for those of you at thismoment saying, there goes the
Jew with all of his victimhoodstory, you just haven't listened
to me long enough to understand.
But let me cite anotherinstance Tucker Carlson
metaphorically performingfellatio on Putin when he went
(14:51):
to Russia and would point outhow great everything was and how
much better and cheaper theywere in the stores, with no
understanding of what he waslooking at, no understanding of
what Russian per capita incomeis.
Yeah, things are cheaper inRussian stores because Russians
make about a fifth of what we doper capita.
I mean, tucker Carlson'signorance was on display and yet
he's never backed up, backedoff, although he's been told
(15:13):
he's a pig.
I don't often say that aboutpeople, but Tucker Carlson might
be the biggest mainstream pigof all.
In fact, he's definitely thebiggest mainstream pig of all he
had on the other day.
I don't know if you saw this TedCruz Now, ted Cruz is not a
popular person, even among hisfellow senators.
I'm going to blow this joke,but there's some kind of joke
(15:35):
that goes around Washington thatsays one senator asked another
senator why did you instantlyyou seem to instantly hate Ted
Cruz?
And the other senator'sresponse was it saves time.
I know I blew that, buteveryone hates him.
That knows him, so that doesn'tsurprise me.
But you have to hand it to theto him.
(15:56):
He's he's the furthest thingfrom stupid.
And he went on Carlson's show, Ithink, suspect, I think,
probably believing he was goingto have a friendly interview or
a semi-friendly interview.
Anyway, carlson starts playinggotcha with him and asking you
know what's the population ofIran and the names of the
provinces, and so you knowthings that are not really
relevant to the decision-makingof what's in the interest of the
United States.
(16:17):
How many people Iran has unlessthey're going to swim all 92
million of them at us onlypoints to why Israel would be
afraid of them.
Imagine that you're a countryof 9 million people and you're
surrounded at one point by abillion hostile neighbors.
Now, thanks to the AbrahamAccords and thanks to making
peace with Sunni Islam, israeldoes not have as many hostile
(16:37):
neighbors as they once did.
But Iran still has more than 10times the population of Israel.
So you know, like in a land warit would be a real big problem.
But you know, of course it's anirrelevant consideration in the
era of modern weaponry.
So why did Hunter Carlson playgotcha with Ted Cruz?
To give him a cover to go aheadand move on with his
(17:00):
anti-Semitic crap.
So I know I wouldn't.
Really.
That's about as nasty as I get,guys.
You just heard me at mynastiest Cause.
I really really find TuckerCarlson and Marjorie Taylor
green repellent, human reptilianslugs, putrefying maggots, of
(17:23):
mendacity.
I mean, they're absolutely themost.
I just I cannot put into wordshow little I like these people
and why they have a following.
I've tried to listen to TuckerCarlson long before the Israeli
issue and long before hisanti-Semitism came out so
clearly and I have neverrespected.
He's of weak intellect and youknow he's a man that puts on a
(17:47):
good show of being bright whenin fact he's not bright.
What he is is a snob from asnob's background.
And anyway, I've made my point.
How do I close by sayingsomething nice, okay, so today
is June the 18th.
I'm just going to make aprediction.
(18:10):
I believe that the attack fromthe United States will come
sometime between now, when I'mrecording this podcast, it's
5.30 in the evening.
I'm a little bit late today forother reasons.
I had some other stuff I had totake care of Between now 5.30
in the evening on the 18th andthe morning of the 20th.
This will all be over becausethat would be six days, the 13th
through the 19th and I believe,for symbolic reasons alone,
(18:33):
israel will wrap this puppy upin six days, in other words, the
six-day war I'm alluding to,where Israel mopped up the
ground with the combined armiesof the entire Arab world back in
1967.
Okay, that's all of the historylesson.
That's all of my rant for today.
This is a fairly brief podcast.
I've made my point.
To summarize Jews are stillDemocrats because of people like
(18:58):
Tucker Carlson and MarjorieTaylor Greene, who are using the
Iran issue, where clearly theUnited States has a national
interest in its own defense, asan excuse to let their
anti-Semitic freak flags fly.
And that's it for today.
Thanks very much.
Have a beautiful rest of yourday.
(19:19):
I'll talk to you on Friday andhopefully we'll be talking about
the aftermath of this and we'llspend some time on that, or who
only knows what happens betweennow and Friday.
Things happen so fast thesedays, who knows.
Have a beautiful rest of yourday.
God bless you and God blessAmerica.
