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.
