I was standing next to Trump at his house when

he got elected. I've known him a long time,

I talked to him a lot, so... you know, I...

I don't, you know, I don't fully understand

what MAGA is, but I know that the core promise

of the Trump political movement, Make America

Great Again, was America First. And it was articulated

by him repeatedly at every campaign stop for

10 years. So everyone in America knows this,

I think everyone globally knows this. The core

of this movement was the idea that you would,

and we could debate about how you'd do it, but

you would try to put the interests of your country

at the center of every calculation about how

you manage your country and how you interact

with the world. It's not a... it's the single

most obvious and single most popular political

concept ever devised. Do you think Donald Trump

has betrayed America First?

I think that this war is something that he promised

he wouldn't do, not once, but countless times.

And until YouTube is banned, we'll be able to

prove that. And the idea behind it, um, is not

only contrary to America First, um, it may be

its inverse. There's no argument that, uh, changing

the regime in Iran helps the United States.

And if there is an argument, I'd love to hear

it. And by the way, if that argument is sensible

and convincing, I will support it. All I care

about is the United States. So, but I haven't

heard that argument a single time. All I've

heard is the kind of tiresome fearmongering

about nuclear weapons, which Iran did not have.

It's, uh, it's insulting, actually, even to

make that argument to me, that Iran's nuclear

program posed such a threat to the United States

three weeks ago that we had to launch a full-scale

war against them. That... no one's even arguing

that, because it's stupid and the facts don't

support it. So why did we do this when we did

it?

Because Israel wanted to do it. They chose the

timing here. No one disputes that. And timing

in war, as in life, is a lot of it. And it determines

outcome. And it's... they hadn't thought through

what was going to happen next. The Israelis

hadn't, and we hadn't, because we didn't have

time to. It sounds to me like you think he has

betrayed it. This war is clearly contrary to

what he promised and contrary to the idea that

your leaders should put your interests before

those of foreigners, period. We put Israel's

interests before ours. Trump did that. Bibi's

not in control... wasn't elected president of

my country. My president was. I supported him,

obviously, voted for him. But, um, yeah.
