ISRAEL SLAMMED After Rubio Says THEY FORCED US Into Iran War
Marco Rubio’s claim exposes Israel’s alleged push to drag the U.S. into an unwanted Iran war, risking six American lives and escalating anti-Israel sentiment amid 54% U.S. disapproval. A reported Israeli strike killed all 88 Iranian Council of Experts, while claims of Trump’s 12-day war dismantling Iran’s nuclear program were dismissed—despite alleged fissile material for 11 bombs. The U.S., tied to Israel’s actions, secures trade routes like the Suez and Strait of Hormuz, but the speaker demands decoupling military ties, warning strategic alignment masks deeper conflicts.

There was an imminent threat to the United States.
This is the reason why we entered the war in Iran.
Indeed, entered, did not start.
I'm going to say it again.
The information that we got from Marco Rubio is going to piss off a lot of people, and I'm not going to bury the lead.
Israel was preparing to attack Iran with or without the United States.
The United States knew that if Iran were to be attacked by Israel, the retaliation would be against the United States.
And thus the question was, should we assume a defensive posture or should we strike hard with Israel?
Well, I share in everyone's criticism of Israel in this capacity.
We are being dragged into a war they sought to initiate.
That is a fact.
Now, many of you may say it's good that the U.S. engaged in the war in Iran.
It is fairly split on the right.
I do think most people in this country are rather upset that this war has begun at all.
We do have some breaking news as of earlier today.
The Iranian Council of Experts were meeting to discuss the new leadership for the country.
Israel launched a strike blowing up the building and apparently killing every single one of them.
So I'm going to stress this again.
According to the latest reporting, Israel was going to attack with the U.S. currently in negotiations that seemingly were not going so well, and with many U.S. assets in the region.
The fear Rubio states is that if we assumed a defensive posture, we were going to get bombarded with missile strikes.
If we did not take out Iran's capability to strike at us, we were going to get slammed.
And then you're presented with your rock and hard place.
If the U.S. did not engage in this conflict with Iran, how many dead U.S. men and women would there have been?
As of the latest reporting, as of the recording of this video, it's six, which is still, in my opinion, unacceptable.
I know, again, there's a big debate.
A lot of people are in favor of Trump going in and crushing this Iranian regime, which I believe was a very, very bad government.
I believe it is ultimately a good thing to see their government toppled if there can be a proper new government formation, which we have no guarantee of.
The Iranian regime was bad.
They were bad people.
The problem is, if this wasn't what the American people wanted and our alliance with Israel forced our hand.
Guys, I'm going to say it.
I know there are a lot of people that are very pro-Israel.
I know there are a lot of people that are very anti-Israel, but this alliance cannot stand if this is the result.
The American people largely did not want this conflict.
And it is explicitly reported.
Israel dragged us into it.
Now, there are many pro-Israel people who say the U.S. should not be funding Israel's wars, and I would agree we should not be.
And there are many anti-Israel people that think we should not be.
So I think the consensus is going to be clear.
And this was the controversy around my meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu last year in that I expressed to him, U.S. support for Israel is over.
I think this issue they knew about, I'm not saying it has anything to do with me.
I think they knew.
And this is why a war with Iran was likely going to be inevitable, at least in the short term.
On the right, the MAGA base is divided.
Many of the MAGA people say no Middle Eastern wars.
The left says they hate Israel.
The younger generations, it's clear, overtly anti-Israel.
Young generation on the right is, we don't care what you do, Israel.
We don't want to be involved.
Some young Gen Z right-wingers are, we hate Israel.
Most leftists, younger generation, hate Israel.
In the next 10 to 20 years, without boomers, Israel loses U.S. support.
And they know this.
They absolutely know this, which is why I think they decided to force the U.S. into action against Iran.
This would be their only opportunity.
My friends, smash the like button, share the show with everyone.
You know, it's going to be a little short today.
I'm coming off being sick and I'm still recovering a bit, but I'm a workaholic, so hopefully I don't screw myself over and get sicker.
So I'm going to keep it light today so as not to make it worse and then miss even more work.
I will just stress, I am turning 40 in less than a week.
And boy, oh boy, working 16 hours a day when you're turning 40 just ain't possible anymore.
And I'm just going to say this, guys, I know a little off topic, but it's not even 16 hour days.
I work a morning show, then I exercise.
I do physical exercise.
Then I do a nightly show.
It's legit, not just 16 hours per day.
It is like eight hours of content production, two hours of intense exercise, which has subsided to a certain degree because I'm literally dying.
And then I've got more work after that for the nightly show.
Then I've got family, and then I've got weekend where I've been doing, we've been working on vlog content strategies as well as poker content, and I'm probably going to keel over and die.
And additionally, the IDF striking the Iran Assembly of Experts to pick Khomeini's successor.
Look, I think Iran's flattened.
I think Iran is completely flattened by this, but this is going to ignite extreme anti-Israel sentiment.
And I'm going to stress it again.
Pew Rachel has already shown 54% of Americans hold a negative view of Israel.
We are going to see rapidly a disconnection here from U.S. support for Israel because this is unacceptable.
It is absolutely unacceptable.
I rely on Donald Trump.
Let me put it like this to Trump supporters.
If what Rubio is saying is true, Trump had been working on negotiating.
Trump had been working on solving these problems.
Israel decided they were going to attack whether we did or didn't, forcing our hand.
By all means, many people can say that the U.S. doesn't need to.
Iran was going to strike us.
And I agree Rubio is correct.
And what this really shows is that the alliance with Israel was the mistake.
And we need to be decoupling well before things like this happen.
The reason why the U.S. has the alliance with Israel, conspiracy theorists, there's the door.
The anti-Jew people, there's the door.
Because I know you're not going to want to hear it.
Trump wants Greenland.
He wants northern Canada.
He wants Panama.
And he wants Egypt, Israel.
Why?
Global trade.
The Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Northwest Passage.
The U.S. controls the world's oceans with something like 20 aircraft carriers or whatever, 13 maybe.
We control, we police the oceans, we police the trade routes.
That's why we are upset with Iran because they've been destabilizing the Red Sea and the Suez.
The reason Trump wants Greenland is he wants a military base at the Northwest Passage to control this.
And the reason why he renegotiated Panama is because he wants access to global water-based trade routes.
Israel is causing the U.S. many problems, this being one of them, because Trump is reeling from this.
And again, I know the pro-war with Iran, people are going to be like, no way, we're happy it's happening.
You are, but look at the polls.
The American people did not want this war.

We're going to keep this one relatively short because I'm trying not to pass out and die.
The Daily Mail reports the U.S. launched preemptive strikes against Iran after learning Israel was about to attack and American troops in the region faced imminent threat of retaliation.
Marco Rubio said Monday.
There absolutely was an imminent threat.
And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us.
And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.
Rubio said the Department of War determined that a defensive posture following an Israeli attack would only open the U.S. to more casualties.
Five American soldiers have died so far in Command.
I believe it's six.
I could be wrong.
We went proactively in a defensive way.
Oh, heavens, said Betsy.
Proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage.
Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew this was going to happen, and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life.
I agree, 100%, because that's the nature of politics.
If this is true, again, if Israel said we're going to attack, we don't care if you're involved.
Fact, Iran would strike U.S. targets, civilian targets, and you would find that U.S., U.S., you know, Trump administration, administrative personnel would be having congressional hearings with Democrats saying you knew there was going to be a breakout of war and you let this happen.
Indeed, don't get me wrong.
I'm not arguing they should have done this.
I'm saying it is true that would have happened.
I don't have all the answers for you.
Talk about an impossible situation.
Well, we've heard reports.
I believe it was Steve Woodkoff said, at the initial onset of negotiations, Iran came out and said, we have enough fissile material for 11 nuclear bombs.
Let the negotiations begin.
And the U.S. got pissed.
Basically, like Trump came out and said, we flattened their nuclear program wrong.
And a lot of people warned there's no way they actually did.
Trump kept saying, of course we did.
Of course we did.
And Iran comes to the negotiating table saying, we got it.
This was them.
Man, that was a bold move.
They were saying, we got it.
What are you going to do about it?
And they were trying to take a hard-lined approach.
The sad thing is, Iran could have got luxury instead.
Indeed.
If Iran said, we're going to drop the nukes, we're going to back off, and we're going to invite you in, and we're going to normalize relations, they would be wealthy and successful.
The issue is, my friends, ideology.
Many of you may be saying, now, hold on, hold on.
Why didn't they just take the luxury?
Let me ask you this.
Let's say that you are in a fight with the woke Marxist left, and you know that they are crushing you and you're about to lose.
And they come to you and say, we will give you money and access if you let us take over your country and make it Marxist-communist social justice.
You'd say no.
Now, I'm not saying the Iran is right.
I'm saying they adhere to their ideology much like you would adhere to yours and not let an enemy take you over.
And that's why it comes to war.
Now, take a look at this.
This is wild.
Let me show you the actual video here.
War is a hell of a thing, my friends.
Take a look at this video.
play for you now.
What you are seeing is the blown out building that is reportedly the Iranian meeting place.
88 members of the council were holding ballots to choose the next Iranian supreme leader.
Not all of them were present, but the attack reportedly occurred during the vote count.
And my understanding is it resulted in the death of these individuals.
Iranian news agencies reported the building was flattened during the strikes.
No injuries or deaths resulting from the strike have been reported, but we are hearing from American sources that they have wiped out the Assembly of Experts.
Maybe there are some survivors, but the Assembly itself has been crushed.
Now, there is fascinating rumors circulating.
Did Iran trigger a 4.3 magnitude earthquake with a nuclear bomb?
I think this should be taken very seriously.
Guys, I'm going to say a few things.
The hard and harsh realities of war.
We don't know what's true.
I got called by the Wall Street Journal the other day.
A reporter was asking me about my view on the war and all that because my opinion was, I think the Iranian regime is bad.
It's good they're gone.
But I'm skeptical on intervention because I fear blowback and instability.
And there are, obviously, my tweets on most of these things are tongue-in-cheek, right?
And so they're asking me because they can't understand.
And I'm just like, I have little faith.
I said, is there even one argument?
I'm probably going to make a ton of money off the responses on this one.
Even one argument for not taking over Iran or Canada or Mexico?
And people are like, oh my God, Jim, where are you in your country?
Like, oh, yeah, I'm actually suggesting we conquer Canada and Mexico.
You people are insane.
So they called me and asked me about it.
And, you know, the general conversation was just, where do you and, you know, regular people lie?
And I said, we don't like Iran, but we're skeptical that this is going to result in anything beneficial.
The point is, I bring this up because the question I get asked is, do you support or oppose this?
And I'm like, I wish it were that simple.
Any reasonable person is going to say, we don't know what's actually going on.
So I up around the best of my understanding based on the reports I'm getting from, to be honest, I have sources who do fieldwork and nothing classified.
And then I have the actual general news, and my response is, we should probably not be involved in this.
That being said, the possibility that Iran actually has a nuclear weapon is probably high.
It really is.
I know the anti-interventionists are going to say, no, it's not.
Guys, if Iran had a nuclear weapon, the U.S. ain't going to tell you.
They're not going to tell you.
Many people are like, they told us there was no nuclear program.
Yet they lied.
Trump has to justify striking Iran and ending the 12-day war, which clearly it wasn't.
You know, it's really funny.
That wasn't even that long ago.
And I tell you this, what's going to happen next is history will say this, all of this was the war.
The war started then, it never stopped because Iran was arming up.
Now, this 4.3 earthquake, there's no indication that, let me, I don't know if they have the images on this, but there was an earthquake in Iran.
No indication or evidence it was a nuclear strike, a nuclear test.
Sorry.
My point is, here's what I think.
I think the U.S. did have concerns that Iran was trying to build a nuclear weapon.
I believe it is true that Iran said we have fissile material for nuclear weapons.
I believe the U.S. could not come out publicly and say it because it would create massive instability overnight.
And this would inhibit the U.S.'s ability to surprise attack.
I believe it is probably, there is a decent probability, I don't know if greater than chance, that Iran was testing underground nuclear weapons.
The U.S. ain't going to tell you.
Now, there was a post that I saw.
I can't remember who posted this.
I may have retweeted actually.
Maybe not.
Where they said the U.S. is not going to be honest about casualties.
That it's probably, let me pull this post up from Drama Alert on the war.
We don't need to play the fake nuclear explosion video or whatever.
Well, it might be a real one, but it's not from Iran.
And you can see that there was a remote 4.3 magnitude earthquake, which some people believe was a nuclear strike.
But someone made a good point.
They said, you know what, let me pull up the Steve Witkoff report.
Somebody said that the U.S., if they were to report that there were more U.S. casualties than there were, the Trump administration would be, just like Rubio said, wrapped up in hearings, questioned, challenged under oath, et cetera.
If the amount of U.S. casualties was in the dozens or 30s or 40s or more, or civilian casualties, you're going to get Rubio, you're going to get a lot of people.
Heg Seth, and they're going to be testifying under oath as to how this could occur and why this war is starting and all of these things.
I think that's fair to point out.
Let me show you this from Fox News.
Steve Witkoff said that at the first meeting with Iran, they said very clearly, we have enough material for 11 nuclear bombs, and that is our starting point.
Oh, yeah.
Now you may be saying, but why did the U.S. then go and claim that they didn't have any nuclear materials?
Because Trump is a boisterous blowhard.
I'm being a little bit rude.
The point is, Trump wants to come out and say, we're the best.
We've succeeded.
No one can stop us.
Trump wants to come out and say, we've won.
We are the best.
The end result, of course, we are not getting the truth on all of this stuff.
And thus, I think it's true.
The 12-day war was a failure.
I think that is a fair assessment.
A lot of people said, look, we got in, we got out, we did it.
It's clear that many of the people who supported the 12-day war intervention, bombing the nuclear sites, we saw those trucks and there were questions as to whether or not they evacuated the nuclear material.
And Trump and the administration said, no, no, everything's good.
And now we're learning the claim is they still had nuclear material.
So 12-day war, ineffective.
Israel then drags us in full speed.
I think the reality is Iran is a big threat.
And this is true, there's a threat against the U.S. because Israel is going to force our hand.
Trump is not going to break from Israel.
No way.
Again, Suez Canal.
You know, what I do find fascinating is that people are like, no, the U.S. is a puppet of Israel.
Guys, Israel is a puppet of the United States to a certain degree.
So let me pull up our good old friend Google Earth and show you the Suez.
This canal right here, the Suez Canal, connects the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and to the Indian Ocean.
Without the Suez, take a look at this.
All of our European partners in the Mediterranean and people and countries in North Africa that trade oil or otherwise, if they want access, they ain't going around the, you know, what is this, the Cape Town?
And so we want control of this, which means you've got the Sinai Peninsula, you've got Egypt, and you've got Israel right here.
Now, we give Egypt a ridiculous amount of money.
And so they basically let us do our thing.
Israel is basically a U.S. military base, but we have to keep the people there happy, and they have to be on our side.
So no, Israel doesn't control the United States.
It's the size of New Jersey.
But the U.S. is going to be deferential for a lot of reasons because of how important the Suez Canal is.
That being said, Panama is substantially easier to control.
The Pano Canal also being extremely important in allowing the U.S. or just not just the U.S., but anybody, not have to go all the way around.
Which one is this one?
I forget my capes.
No, okay, not Capricorn.
That's India.
Which Cape is South America?
Cape Horn.
You know, I used to know all these things.
I just don't follow my capes anymore.
Yeah.
So anyway, you get the point.
Now we've got something interesting happening with Greenland and the Northwest Passage.
Take a look at all this.
Normally too icy to move through, but it includes the Bering Strait.
This means there's going to be a ridiculous amount of trade moving through as Russia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland are going to be able to much more easily transport goods or receive goods from other places, notably like Japan, South Korea, China, etc.
Trump wants control.
He wants a military base in Greenland to have strong control over the Northwest Passage as the ice begins to melt.
That's the point, ladies and gentlemen.
So, again, reset to North.
Thank you, Google Earth.
I am not suggesting that it's a solely one-way street.
Israel has undue influence on the United States, but they don't control us like puppets, but they do create serious problems.
So my argument would be Israel should unbuckle, uncouple from the U.S.
The U.S. should uncouple from Israel.
I don't believe the U.S. should be providing for their military and funding, but understand why it is, my friends.
The U.S. trying to keep control, keep access to Middle East.
Like Israel's gotten tensions and ideology, and there are many Zionists.
There are Zionists in the United States that are going to support this.
The military-industrial complex, their interests are controlling the Red Sea and the Suez.
The war with Iran largely has to do with oil trade and the petrodollar.
If we cannot control the Strait of Hormuz, 20% of oil production for the world, or transit, sorry.
Then these countries are going to say, what purpose do we have of being involved in the petrodollar deal?
The U.S., this is what we say.
We'll police the oceans.
You can sell your oil.
You got to use U.S. dollars.
So when Houthi rebels were bombing carriers, cargo ships in the Red Sea, the U.S. intervened.
And everyone criticized Trump for it.
When Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, Trump says no.
And then Israel, largely for regional conflict reasons, says, we're going to put a stop to Iran with or without you.
