Trump feels it feels like he's a little bit at war with himself because he said all the time. I mean, he wants to be known as the peacemaker, the dealmaker, the guy who ends wars. And yet here he finds himself defending another war. Well, I don't know. I don't think Trump's defending the war. [00:00:15] Trump's defending Israel's actions. And within a week or two, he's going to try to find an off ramp to bring it to peace. And as for Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, they aren't they do not define what the mag or the conservative base is. There's two idiot conspiracy theorists the base, the MAGA base, the conservative base. Believe me, they're all behind Trump and that's it. [00:00:30] He's the one that calls the shots on what kind of defines, you know, that MAGA base. The neocons and the Republican Party are out in full force, desperately trying to define themselves as true MAGA as they push for a war with Iran. [00:00:47] There you had former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu dismissing Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon as idiots for being the loudest opponents of Trump's decision to lead us head for head first into war. But before we move on here for more war hackery from neocons. [00:01:05] Jake, what do you think of Sununu's claims? Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon don't represent MAGA. Instead, neocon war hawks represent MAGA, and they're all behind Trump in invading Iran. [00:01:25] What's amazing about that, guys, is that no one else on that panel realizes that that's not even remotely true. That's not within miles of truth. Right? But they're all like, oh, yeah, because all they do is bring on establishment people and establishment. [00:01:40] Oh yeah, MAGA sucks, right? I mean, like, I mean, MAGA is pro-war, right? Right. MAGA was pro-war. Yeah, yeah. Totally agree. And even Scott Jennings is like, oh yeah, MAGA is great. And Sununu, who fought Trump the entire time now pretending to be on Trump, said, well, Trump said it. That's MAGA. You're the real Sununu. [00:01:58] And who was, if I remember right, was a Never Trumper. You're the real MAGA. But Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are the fake MAGA. Look, I got a thousand problems with Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson, but they're definitely real MAGA. [00:02:14] Wait. A thousand times more real than Sununu or anyone on television pretending to be like, know what populists think? Although they are going to get a rude awakening. Potentially could get a rude awakening tonight because for the first time, [00:02:31] a populist is going to be on that panel. Ana Kasparian on that exact show tonight at 10:00 eastern. Anything can happen. Okay. But, but these guys are a joke. So let's tell you about all the Republicans [00:02:47] who are trying to start the war. And later in the show, we'll show you the Republicans or the MAGA guys who are against the war. So we'll get into more. Mark Levin joined in once again on the Tucker bashing, writing a blistering op ed [00:03:03] in the New York Post telling MAGA Republicans to ignore the isolationists. In it, he claims isolationism is just appeasement that promotes war. Even worse, these knuckleheads cannot coherently explain what they mean. Have you watched them on TV? [00:03:20] They're too self-righteous in their ignorance to realize how absurd they sound. They don't agree among themselves. What the hell they're talking about. He also insists that the current foreign policy is nothing like the recent failed policies we've seen in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. [00:03:36] President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are together demonstrating how to deal with a genocidal terrorist regime, how to use diplomacy and military power, how to use Intel and special forces, how to use the media and public statements [00:03:53] and more to defeat the biggest terror supporting regime on the planet. It is and has been brilliant. And if all goes well, it will result in a transformed Middle East, an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and a world free of nuclear terror regime. [00:04:11] The, if all goes well, is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Yet the isolationists, such as Chatsworth Carlson, referring to Tucker Carlson, are turning on our president as they've spent months demeaning Netanyahu. [00:04:28] They prefer the likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is apparently more MAGA than Trump. These reprobates have never been MAGA. The isolationists tell us that to oppose a regime change war in Iran [00:04:44] is to be a warmonger and anti MAGA. Just close your eyes and cover your ears. They also don't seem to care that they attract Marxists, Islamists and anti-Semites. Unfortunately, every indication so far is that Trump is siding with these people [00:05:02] and not his MAGA base. Last night he posted a truly insane text he received from Mike Huckabee, his ambassador to Israel. It read, Mr. President, God spared you in Butler, Pennsylvania, to be the most consequential president in a century, maybe ever. [00:05:20] The decisions on your shoulders. I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you, sir, but there is only one voice that matters. His voice. I am your anointed servant in this land and am available for you. [00:05:38] But I do not try to get in your presence often, because I trust your instincts. No president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don't reach out to persuade you, only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven. [00:05:56] And that voice is far more important than mine or anyone else's. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave. I will not abandon this post. Our flag will not come down. [00:06:14] You did not seek this moment. This moment sought you. It is my honor to serve you. Jake, do you think heaven is telling Trump to bomb Iran? I wonder if it's telling Huckabee to, swallow or spit. [00:06:30] So, he's been doing hard work, praying on his knees in Israel, to serve, his true master. Anyways, so the trick that Huckabee is doing is. Oh, yeah. God wants you to start a war. [00:06:47] How do I know? Oh, I talked to him. Did you? Did. God. I mean, you want to talk about blasphemous Huckabee? Did you talk to God? Who talked to God? And they asked him specifically, should we help Israel attack Iran? Should we help kill civilians there? [00:07:03] Should we bring American troops to die there? Should we spend trillions? You ask God that I can't imagine anything more blasphemous than this guy pretending to speak for God. And he does the obvious trick. But to Trump, it won't be obvious at all. He's like, Oh God has picked you. [00:07:21] You're so special and wonderful. But only if you attack Iran. If you attack Iran, then God selected you for this and you're pretty much a prophet. You know Trump's going to eat that up, right? Oh, yes. Yes, God has selected me to murder people in Iran on behalf of Israel and to spend [00:07:41] America's children and fortune on it. Has he? Or is Mike Huckabee a low grade con man? Okay, why don't you go sell some frickin Tupperware in Arkansas? Okay. And by the way, that would be far more noble than what he's doing. [00:07:56] A thousand times more noble than what Huckabee is doing now. But the scary part about Huckabee said was about 1945. Why did that get into this conversation? You know what I mean? You know what happened in 45? Truman dropped the bomb. [00:08:13] Jordan, I don't know. That scared the hell out of me because I'm like, is is there talk of, like, a nuclear bunker buster that they're going to use on those Iranian facilities? Because why is he mentioning 1945? That is, that's not a World War Two reference. [00:08:30] That's a Hiroshima Nagasaki reference. Truman had the courage to use nuclear weapons. And by the way, if Iran if Israel wants to nuke Iran, you think they're going to use their own nukes and be held culpable for that? [00:08:45] No, they're going to get a moron like Donald Trump to do their dirty work for them so that when the world explodes in rage, it's not against Israel. They're going to say, I had nothing to do with it. I'm not America, right? [00:09:01] And that rage is going to be directed to all of us, and then mainstream media is going to come and tell you they hate us because they hate us. Just randomly, for no reason at all. They hate us because they hate us. Look, are they going to do that? I don't know. I hope not. That is like it's just one reference. Don't like I don't over panic about it, but it was a weird, weird thing. [00:09:20] Guys, I got to show you the Charlie Kirk poll. So later in the show, in fact, the next story we'll do after the break is about MAGA that's turned on Trump. And that's why you're seeing this battle in this war between the neocons. Everybody we just ran read from is a neocon or a Christian Zionist, [00:09:36] all either working for Israel or have some deranged genocidal fantasies of their own, like Huckabee does. Okay, so Charlie Kirk asks his own audience, and remember Charlie Kirk said, - I love Israel, I love Israel. - Israel's the greatest, right? But I'm a little concerned. Why is he a little concerned? [00:09:52] Because his own audience is like, are you kidding me, Charlie? Are you kidding me? We all said antiwar. So he does a poll and let's find out. Is MAGA really anti-war or not? Maybe it's 5050. Maybe it's 9010. Well, I'll tell you what it was 9010 against the war. [00:10:10] Charlie Kirk's audience deeply right wing, 90 to 10. Not interested in this war. Not interested in Huckabee's B.S., not interested in all these neocons and a lot of what MAGA is saying all over the internet. [00:10:25] I don't know if you haven't seen it. You think, oh, really? That can't be. I mean, four years ago they all agreed with Trump no matter what. Well, it's a different MAGA, and this time around they mean a lot of what they say. And and so what they're saying is, listen, brother, [00:10:41] we didn't pick you to be America's second. We said antiwar. We meant antiwar. And if you're pro-war and you're just going to serve Israel, we're not interested. So that's why there's this huge rift, and that is why they're trying to keep Trump in, [00:10:57] Trump in like a little bit of a cocoon where they're like, don't, don't, don't, don't just watch TV. Turn on Fox News. Turn on Fox News. That's why Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson are attacking Fox News, which is what we're going to show you next. - So they're like, don't talk to Tucker. - Tucker's kooky. [00:11:12] Tucker's not even on TV. That's why Trump said Tucker's not even on TV. Because somebody whispered that in his ear. Don't do and don't watch anything that isn't on TV, because then you might find out that your base has left the building. Okay, so he doesn't realize it, but when those new poll numbers come out [00:11:28] and he's in the goddamn 20s. Yes, I said 20s. People say, oh, you're nuts. He was at 45 in the last poll. You think he's going to drop to like 29 or something? Yes I do. Yes, I do, because no one wants this war. Only the war hawk establishment uniparty elites in Washington do. [00:11:46] And they're in for a rude awakening. The American people are going to despise this. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
