3/18/202638 min
The first resignation over the Iran war came yesterday. Odd ball Joe Kent, Director of counter-terrorism, said he disagreed with Trump's war. Are others starting to feel the same? Loud voices in MAGA are telling Trump he’s got it wrong. What happens now?
We talk to White House insider Jason Greenblatt, Trump’s former advisor on international relations, about whether Trump is losing the room.

Being a conservative or being a Trump supporter or being part of MAGA does not mean you have to accept another Middle East war without questions.

This is Israel's war. This is not the United States' war. This war is not being waged on behalf of American national security objectives to make the United States safer or richer. This war is not actually even about weapons of mass destruction, nukes, chem bio. No, this war is waged purely because Israel wanted it.
Speaker 30:39
This is absolutely absurd, and it's one hundred percent a betrayal to what MAGA was supposed to be when we voted in twenty twenty-four, and it's turned into some, some perverted, deranged version of MAGA now that nobody wants. And, and a lot of people are just like, "This doesn't make sense."
Speaker 40:59
This is embarrassing. We are the United States of America. Why are we allowing a foreign country to occupy our, our government? And now we see we... I, I was removed from a religious liberty commission because I dared to speak out against Israel. It's no longer a conspiracy, Pierce. What Israel wants, Israel gets, and we're witnessing that. And I'm telling you right now, MAGA is dead.
