Keywords

💡Israel

Israel is mentioned frequently throughout the transcript as the country receiving unconditional support from the Biden administration for its actions against Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza. This policy is seen as directly linked to the increase in attacks against US troops in the region by Iranian-backed militias, who are retaliating for the US support of Israel's military operations.

💡Iran

Iran is referenced as the country that the US politicians and media claim is behind the attacks on US troops in the region. However, the hosts argue these attacks are more directly linked to independent militias reacting to US support for Israel, rather than being directly ordered by Iran.

💡Gaza

Gaza refers to the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian territory under blockade by Israel. The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is described as a key driver of the conflict in the region and the attacks on US troops.

💡Hamas

Hamas is the Palestinian political and militant group that controls Gaza and has been engaged in recent fighting with Israel. Israel's aim to degrade Hamas is seen as a motivation to continue and expand the war.

💡ceasefire

The hosts note that attacks on US troops stopped during a temporary ceasefire in fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. This is presented as evidence that the attacks are linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

💡Netanyahu

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, is referenced as wanting to prolong and expand the war for political gain amid domestic unpopularity.

💡Tit for tat

The hosts criticize the 'tit for tat' retaliation approach some are advocating, where attacks on US troops are met with escalating strikes on Iranian interests, which likely leads to more attacks.

💡War

There are repeated warnings about the risks and consequences of a potential war with Iran, which some US politicians are pushing for in response to attacks on troops.

💡Escalation

The hosts argue that the logic of escalation consistently leads to more violence and potential war, rather than solutions to the root causes of the conflict.

💡Militias

Militias refers to the armed groups in Iraq, Syria and the region backed by Iran that have been attacking US troops and bases. Their links to Iran are debated.

Transcripts

good morning everybody happy Monday we

have an amazing show for everybody today

extra amazing because crystal is back

it's great to see you crystal what do we

have today it is great to be back um

thank you so much Saga by the way for

covering for me and the team and Ryan

and everybody who filled in um we have a

lot to get to this morning though as

Sager covered for you yesterday three US

service members are dead after a suicide

drone attack in Jordan what are they

even doing there what does that mean for

broader congrations in the Middle East a

lot to talk about there we're also

following uh the US cut funding for a

critical un Aid agency dedicated to

Palestinians this of course comes as the

icj ruled that Israel is plausibly

committing genocide in the Gaza trip

break that down for you Nancy Pelosi

floating a wild new Russia gate

conspiracy gotta hear this one to

believe it truly astonishing um the

mayor of De Dearborn Michigan is

actually going to join us so he refused

to meet with Biden campaign officials

this in spite of the fact that he is a

longtime Democrat over Biden's

unconditional support for Israel so

we're going to talk to him about that

and how he is thinking about the general

election matchup likely between Biden

and Trump um Taylor Swift AI nudes

causing a whole fuckus all the way up to

the White House massive debate about you

know what to do about this if anything

should be done about this Etc so we'll

talk about that and Sager is looking at

the political divide between young men

and young women which seems to only be

widening yes that's right crystal uh

before we do get to that though we want

to say thank you also to our premium

subscribers helping us for gearing up

for election season we've got the

discount going on right now we have our

RFK Junior Focus Group which will be

coming to everybody next week we're

really excited to bring everybody that

actually it turns out while the delay

was not something that we wanted due to

the snow that you know there's quite a

lot of relevance with RFK Jr right now

and we're going to have a lot to cover

tomorrow as well lots of domestic

Stories the Border situation all that

but we wanted to make sure we cover our

bases with foreign policy today just

because of the tragic death of those

service members and unfortunately

Crystal even worse calls for war with

Iran pervading the bipartisan consensus

here in Washington yeah that's exactly

right so let's start with bat Noss which

is certainly the top story of the day

with potentially massive and terrifying

implications let's put this up on the

screen um as I said three US troops

killed and up to

34 injured in Jordan this due to a

so-called suicide drone strike that the

Biden Administration is linking to these

Iranian backed militias I can read you

from a little bit of this story um

Biden's response he says have no doubt

we will hold all those responsible to

account at a time and in a manner of our

choosing Iran's mission to the UN said

in a statement that Tyron was not

involved in the attack Iran had no

connection had nothing to do with the

attack on the US Base According to that

mission they added there is a conflict

between US forces and resistance groups

in the region which reciprocate

retaliatory attacks um we can go ahead

and put up on the screen a map so that

you get a sense of where exactly these

attacks were happening you can see

they're right on the border here of um

Jordan and Syria apparently this

facility that was targeted is referred

to as Tower 22 um very very close to

that Jordan Syria border I mean Sager

there's so much to say about this first

of all you know anytime our service

members are attacked in this region I'm

sure plenty of Americans are going what

are they even doing in this region like

why are they even there to be sitting

ducks for these types of attacks number

two sadly this was entirely predictable

result of Biden's policy VAV Israel

since October 7th and we can put this up

on the screen this map you know you guys

haven't heard that much about these in

the news even though you should have

there have been well over

150 of these types of attacks and

tragically it was only a matter of time

before one of the attacks broke through

and claimed the lives of US service

members so there is no doubt in my mind

um this is very likely linked directly

to uh the Biden administration's policy

Vis Israel part of how we know that is

because during the time when there was a

brief ceasefire these attacks completely

stopped and so it once again raises the

question of what the hell are we doing

here even if you don't care about the

moral outrage of what is happening in

Gaza the Biden policy has put our

service members at risk and is directly

in contravention of our own National

Security interests and to me that's what

is really underscored by these unfor un

unbelievably tragic deaths and avoidable

deaths in the end yeah I'm I'm really

outraged by this because it was so

predictable we're sitting here for weeks

just saying listen it's only a matter of

time it only takes one it only takes

this and then we see you know tit fortat

we go up we go up something gets fired

at a ship and now you know this is a

really horrible situation because these

guys by all accounts were literally

sleeping so it was in the middle of the

night and a suicide drone appears to

have attacked their Barracks because we

also saw that the number of wounded Rose

significantly from yesterday it's now

stands at 34 but very likely to go even

higher unfortunately many of the men who

were wounded actually remained in

critical condition and had to be

airlifted out of Jordan to a nearby

hospital that also reminds us of why are

3,000 American soldiers or service

members in Jordan in the first place the

ostensible purpose of this base is part

of the anti-isis mission I mean when's

the last time that we heard anything

about what was going on with us

operations in Syria and in Isis don't

forget that belies the fact that there

are a number of US troops in Syria again

with no authorization from Congress and

they have been there now for years in

near permanent installations there's a

bigger defense question here too really

about the use of these suicide drones

and US Air Defense systems there had

long been promises you know and both to

the Troops and others that we had

adequate Force protection for our

service members who are so forward

deployed in Syria and elsewhere saying

we had all of these advanced air defense

systems that were in place to make sure

that something like this would happen

obviously completely failed in this

regard and now three of our service

members are dead and more than three

dozen nearly have been wounded and some

critically who have been injured and who

knows you know what the prognosis

remains for them it is a bigger you know

major strategic question about what are

our service members doing here don't

forget either crystal in the initial

statement President Biden blamed

iranian-backed groups in Iraq and and in

Syria so it raises questions there about

what exact groups that these are uh

whether they're in Iraq don't forget

this if we're going to respond quote

hard and heavy or whatever it is that

the uh Lindsey Graham and all those want

us to do there is a very dangerous and

diplomatic talk going on right now with

Iraq many of the Iraqis do not want us

to stay there the our troops the Biden

Administration is fighting to make sure

that our troops can remain inside of the

country ostensibly for this anti-isis

Mission more likely to do with you know

forward posture against Iran regardless

this is going to affect that if there is

some sort of major retaliation inside of

Iraq which very likely could invite

domestic political push back on top of

who the hell knows what goes on in Syria

but what scares me more than anything is

the total unwillingness to you know just

throw caution to the wind right now

amongst the Washington establishment and

you see direct calls bipartisan calls

right now to strike Iranian territory

not to wipe out or even retaliate

against these Iraqi and Syria groups

would directly go to the source and

that's what we're seeing from all across

the aisle immediately in the aftermath

of the attack yeah so we could put some

of that up on the screen uh the

Republicans largely jumped in most

aggressively um of course many of these

same people use every any and every

excuse to push for war with Iran uh

you've got Senator John Corin Target

tyan Lindsey Graham hit Iran now hit

them hard Tom Cotton my statement

following the Iran backed attacks in

Jordan that killed 3s US service members

and injured 25 um the tldr there is also

war with Iran Tim Scott enough is enough

Biden administration's appeasement of

Iran must end time for clear and

decisive action Chuck Grassley Will

President Biden finally take decisive

action against Iran um so I mean first

of all I think it's important to say a

couple things about this like obviously

this is psychotic the idea that we

should just jump into a full-scale war

with Iran uh you know is not something

that the American people want it is a

disastrous absolutely insane idea that

goes almost without saying I also think

it's worth noting you know the media

always it's almost like a verbal tick

they use this phrase like iran-backed

militias and it is true obviously

they're they're linked they're funded

there's you know affiliations there but

you can get the impression that they're

just acting 100% as puppets of Iran and

they're just doing like whatever their

actions are they're directed you know

directly from ton and that is not the

case you know these groups have their

own impetus they have their own

motivations they have their own goals

they're capable of planning their own

attacks so when Iran says it wasn't us

maybe it was maybe it wasn't but I just

want people to understand that these

groups are not Iran they are linked to

Iran yes but that doesn't mean that they

are directly taking their orders from

tan um the most critical piece here I

think Sager

is you see once again the way that the

logic of escalation only ever goes in

One Direction it has never been more

clear that the reason these attacks are

happening is directly because of our

unconditional support for Israel because

of the fact that we have been a primary

you know uh we've been a primary

blockade to any sort of ceasefire or

longer truce and when there was a brief

ceasefire these attacks stopped so all

of this trouble in the Middle East the

Red Sea the houthis you know we had two

Navy Seals who also are dead because of

our actions in the Middle East they

didn't come under direct fire but as a

result of our operations in the Red Sea

they too are dead all of this is

happening because of our policy Visa V

Israel so instead of reassessing that

policy and saying there's a very clear

answer and solution to all of these

problems which by the way would also be

in the best interest of humanity in the

Gaza Strip instead it's always we have

to escalate we have to hit them harder

we have to escalate to deescalate etc

etc it's what the media pushes it's what

the political class pushes and it always

only goes in One Direction the logic is

also nonsensical I mean we are currently

funding to the tune of hundreds of

billions of dollars the war in Ukraine

which has killed probably between three

to

350,000 Russian soldiers so by this

logic let's say that Russia were to use

this logic what could they say they're

like well the us-backed you know us

linked Ukrainian government is killing

our soldiers with their weapons actually

the link is probably even more direct

because the Pentagon quite literally

runs the Ukrainian military Ops and in a

similar situation we can't control

everything the Ukrainian military does

or maybe we can but let's say that we

can't in that at least in that instance

as we have seen them conduct attacks

deep inside of Russian territory

elsewhere terrorist attacks

assassinations inside of Moscow what

does that mean under that logic they

could bomb us they could nuke us that

that's what they and that's what the

most belligerent people inside of the

Russian government are saying they're

like how can we do this we're not going

after the source think about the logic

of that that means then that we would be

liable for every single one of our

Allied governments that we Supply with

weapons for direct retaliation against

us and in fact that appears to be the

exact logic that these Iranian backed

groups and the houthis and others have

been using to attack the US military

Visa its support for Israel so I again

would just urge people and you know

everybody loves to talk about Reagan and

uh let's let's take a step back and

think about what happened after the

Beirut bombing against you know several

number of our us uh US service members

were killed there under his

administration you know what he did he

pulled out he said at the end of the day

it's not worth it and there were a lot

more people who were killed in that

attack in the 1980s than they were today

people do uh you know forget some of the

Strategic actual fortitude that Reagan

occasionally did have in his foreign

policy because he understood and assess

that if I were to get into a deeper you

know conflict here it would not be in

our direct interest we had a direct

guiding foreign policy at that time

which was confrontation with the Soviet

Union and with rollback and he

determined that this was going to draw

away from that goal and he had the

fortitude to be able to understand that

even in America's height of its military

power that we cannot just simply have

projection of force everywhere and we're

a lot weaker today than they were in the

1980s and yet here in Washington that is

an anath you know even Reagan's greatest

Defenders they kind of like like to

write off what happened in Lebanon but

in this particular case I would say let

us call upon the wisdom of Reagan who

understood that just because US service

members have been killed in this

instance it does not require us to put

even more In Harm's Way and to pour even

more you know basically chasing B uh

throwing bad money after good money you

can actually understand the roote of the

conflict where things are going and very

quickly surmise that what's happening in

Israel and Gaza is the center of gravity

in this conflict and now directly has

pulled American Service members the

other thing that we forgot to mention

crystal is yeah right that the two US

Navy Seals were killed but Michael Tracy

actually reminded us this morning don't

forget five Americans were also killed

um in a training exercise that was

directly linked to what was happening

and you know we can't we can't forget

their deaths either they would not have

been in that area and conducting these

kinds of training operations this was

one of our most advanced Elite a units

presumably either training for hostage

rescue or for some sort of you know

conflict or in the region and they died

in a nighttime exercise uh right you

know very very nearby so we we have 10

now basically who can be ascribed to

this we have at least five who have been

directly killed now in combat and we

cannot forget that and just use that as

an excuse to ratchet up operations and I

just love you know these GOP politicians

it's like all right we struck Tyron now

what what you think everything's just

going to go away I mean what's going to

happen you know way more and we just saw

our air defense systems just just failed

in Jordan don't forget the Patriots did

not shoot down all those ballistic

missiles inside of Iraq you are

consigning dozens perhaps even hundreds

more Americans to their death in the

immediate term as a result of this

policy and nobody nobody even talks

about it yeah so a few other things I

want to say about this I mean first of

all just keep in mind that some of these

psychos even immediately after October

7th they were already itching for war

with Iran and beating the war drums they

will use literally any excuse whether

it's this or anything else to call for

direct war with Iran number two it's

also worth keeping in mind that uh a

broader Middle East congration that we

are directly involved and very much

serves the interests of Netanyahu

specifically who as we have discussed Ed

nauseum is you know on a very short

leash politically domestically he's

basically hated almost universally in

Israel at this point the the only chance

he has of holding on to his grip on

power is to extend the war as long as

possible to expand the war in order to

try to claim more military victories

since if we're being honest the uh their

war on Hamas has been basically a

failure I mean they haven't gotten the

top leadership they have uh there was a

Wall Street Journal report that they

have something like 80% of even the

tunnel Network in the Gaza Strip is

still intact the number of Fighters that

they've been able to take out is

woefully you know small compared to the

total number of Hamas Fighters that are

there in the Gaza Strip all they've been

able to do is effectively you know

destroy civilian life and make life a

living hell for every one of the 2.2

million uh human beings who live in the

Gaza Strip so he needs military

victories that's why they're looking

towards Lebanon that's why they're

looking towards this broader War uh

because not only his interests but as a

fantastic harat's analysis went through

you know the interest of everyone who

was in power on October 7th and oversaw

these security intelligence failures

that led to this you know a horrific

attack going forward and the failed

response all of their political heads

are on the chopping block so every one

of them has even the so-called moderates

that are part of this Coalition have an

interest in keeping this thing going and

expanding it and drawing us directly

into it It's always important to keep in

mind the motivations that these key

players

have as we move forward and you know the

last thing I'll say before we uh move on

to Trump's statement is sadly just as

this attack and the deaths of these US

service members were both predictable

and preventable if we continue in this

direction there will be more deaths I

mean the number of attacks that have

already occurred there was a previous

incident an attack on uh barracks and um

in IR rock that it we were incredibly

fortunate that basically like the

munition didn't explode and so these

those service members you know got off

with relatively minor injuries which by

the way you know the US government has

been dramatically downplay oh it's just

a little traumatic brain injury don't

worry about it as if that's no big deal

but we are incredibly fortunate up to

this point that there weren't more lives

lost of US service members so sadly

there's just no doubt even if we

continue in this direction of

unconditional support for Israel and

this little tit fortat without going

directly at Iran there will almost

certainly be more US service members who

lose their lives as a result of Joe

Biden not wanting to stand up to Israel

and fully fully unconditionally backing

what they are doing in the Gaza Strip

shipping the bombs Expediting the bombs

providing them with diplomatic cover Etc

um let me go ahead and put up on the

screen scen Trump's reaction of course

he's jumping on this and taking full

advantage as he possibly can politically

in a very trumpan statement this is like

it was a three-part thread un Tru social

this was the second part which was sort

of the most interesting or critical he

says three years ago Iran was weak broke

and totally under control thanks to my

maximum pressure policy the Iranian

regime could barely scrape $2 dollars

together to fund their terrorist proxies

then Joe Biden came in and gave Iran

billions of dollars which the regime has

used to spread Bloodshed and Carnage

throughout the Middle East this attack

would never have happened if I was

President not even a chance just like

the Iranian back Hamas attack on Israel

would never have happened the war in

Ukraine would never have happened and we

would right now have peace throughout

the world instead we are on the brink of

World War III um talk about alternative

facts and alternative history I mean

very likely Trump's policy versus Visa

Israel would be basically identical to

Joe Biden perhaps without the like moral

hand ringing the feckless moral hang

hand ringing that you get occasionally

from the Biden Administration so the

idea that we wouldn't be still facing

these uh attacks from various militias

in their region I think is pretty

fanciful I will at least give Trump this

he didn't call for war with Iran so I'm

going to call it a net benefit for me or

at least it's like at least he hasn't uh

come to that and I've seen VI ramaswami

Tucker Carlson and others issue very

forceful uh criticism of some of the

people who are calling for it I will say

politically I've always said this it is

the greatest talking point in the world

for him to just be like it didn't happen

under me and it's happening under Biden

so you can definitely be assured that

that will uh be that will be featured in

debates campaign commercials and others

for a return to normaly even if it may

not be true even if what he would have

done you know if he were in the white

house or not but he can have the

statement of well it would never have

happened if I was still the president so

anyway yeah we I wanted to flag that in

particular because electorally let's say

that foreign policy does become a

deciding factor in the election or for

instead of foreign policy think of it

like uh the the withdrawal from

Afghanistan the withdrawal from

Afghanistan nobody really voted on the

withdrawal from Afghanistan nobody would

even particularly say that's a number

one reason but there was a feeling of

chaos malays and things being out of

control under Biden that led to the

initial approval rating that he had over

50% dip below so with this I could see

Trump trying to make this as part of an

overwhelming of an overall case the

problem is of course if he's like well

return return to normal is that he can't

himself be trying to still chaos but

there is you know it could be a potent

talking point if Biden finds himself

deep enough listen uh Biden's support

for Israel as we're going to talk to the

mayor of Dearborn who's a Democrat who

wouldn't even meet with his campaign

team because he's disgusted over Biden's

support for what he describes and what

the UN has the icj has now said is

plausibly a genocide um that we are very

much complicit in so and I just saw a

poll that came out Biden's approval

rating among 18 to 29 year olds is

27%

27% so already this is an electoral

disaster I mean that's the least of our

concerns right now but it's already an

electoral disaster you continue with the

escalations you continue allowing us

service members to be killed in their

beds in the Middle East in countries

that the American people don't even know

we still have service members in um yeah

it's absolutely it's absolutely a

disaster the last thing before we move

on to uh what's going on with unrwa uh

Aid suspension I just want to give

people the numbers so you understand

what I say this is directly linked to

the policy with Israel these attacks are

directly correlated to it because we can

see in the numbers this was highlighted

by um friend of the show Dr Tre to Pary

who said there were about 60 attacks by

these type of militias against US troops

between January 2021 and March 2023 so

that's over a basically a two-year

period after the Gaza War just since

October 7th there have been more than

160 attacks except during these six days

when there was a ceasefire in Gaza then

the attacks completely stopped we know

what the answer is to bring Safety and

Security to our service members in the

region not to mention to you know the to

deal with the humanity of people in Gaza

and by the way also the ultimate

long-term security of citizens of Israel

we know what the answer is but our

insane for policy completely unmowed

from reality leads them to take actions

that they don't even think are going to

succeed you know that's what I the other

thing I keep thinking about s like we

have them admitting Biden admitting that

he knew the you know Red Sea attacks on

the the houthi rebels he knew they

weren't going to work but they were

going to continue anyway it's like then

what the hell are we doing we have Tony

blinkin admitting there's no military

solution to Hamas then what the hell are

we supporting and it's the same thing it

doesn't need a logic they just escalate
