Why Won’t We Say No to Israel? 😳

Shawn Ryan Show0m 59s

The transcript discusses Trump's reluctance to name Iranian contacts due to potential Israeli interference, and argues the US should impose conditions on Israeli military actions. The speakers attribute American reluctance to constrain Israel to lobbying influence and major pro-Israel campaign donors.

Summary

The conversation begins with Trump's statement about protecting Iranian contacts from potential harm, with the implication that Israeli actions might endanger US diplomatic channels. The speakers argue that the United States should take a firmer stance with Israel by imposing operational restrictions, specifically requiring pre-approval for military strikes and limiting offensive operations while maintaining defensive support. They contend that Israeli actions in Iran have broader regional implications affecting US interests, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and global energy markets through potential disruption of the Straits of Hormuz. The discussion then shifts to examining why the US appears reluctant to impose such restrictions on Israel when it would do so with other allies. The speakers attribute this reluctance to the influence of the Israeli lobby and significant campaign contributions from pro-Israel donors, specifically mentioning Miriam Adelson's $100 million contribution to Trump's campaign and referencing the recently deceased OnlyFans owner as a major AIPAC donor.

Transcript

Trump even said it today when he was at the plain side. He was asked, who are you talking with inside of Iran? And he said, I don't want to name them because then they might get killed. Mr. President, again, because I don't want them to be killed. Well, they might get killed by the Israelis because the Israelis don't want us to have negotiations. Essentially, you're saying we just need to tell them no. And not just tell them no, you have to take things away from them. You're going to run any strikes by us. And also, you're not going on the offense anymore. You're done being on the offense. If you're attacked, we'll back you up.…
