If your leaders won’t say “good riddance” to those who fund terror, they’re protecting power — not the people. This episode rips the mask off the political class: pallets of cash to hostile regimes, elected foreign lawmakers openly calling for assassination, NATO double‑standards, and a media that treats threats to presidents like diplomatic footnotes — while ordinary citizens pay the price. We call out the silence, the hypocrisy, and the moral bankruptcy of a party that picks labels over national security; this is a wake‑up rant demanding accountability, not applause.

Why The Iran MOU Fails

SPEAKER_01

I hate saying it. But I remember vividly saying here on this podcast, this ain't gonna work, this MOU. This memorandum of understanding with Iran. Come on, come on. You're dealing with liars, terrorists, people who call for death to America, including last Friday at the funeral. I mean, you know, or last Saturday, I should say. Like wakey, wakey, wakey, wakey. So Trump gave it the the, you know, the the what do you call it? The uh the good old try there. And now he's called them, uses words like I've used. He's these words like they're liars. Wow, who would have dunked that? Stuart, can the world wake up to what Iran really stands for? I don't think so.

Boy. Oh boy.

A 48-Hour Wake-Up Call

SPEAKER_00

right. Let's understand, let's thread the needle. In a single 48 wild window, the NATO summit in Ankara, the Islamic Republic Iranian group called for the assassination for yet another U.S. sitting president in 47 years, attacked the American military assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and watched as a fragile ceasefire, which was an MOA, never intended to honor and crumbled it in real time. Trump, quote, I think it's over, isn't a foreign policy failure. It's only an honest sentence that anyone that's spoken about Iran in 47 years, the appeasement crowd has gotten wrong. The Moolas don't want a deal. They want Trump dead and America humiliated. Every Republican who said Iran had to be confronted with force has just been vindicated in real time. While every Democrat who pushed for a diplomatic off-ramp is standing in the wreckage of their own naive fantasy, which or maybe trapped on a boat off the coast of Turkey. Anyways, let's get this shit started. An Iranian lawmaker published in the words Donald Trump is within our reach. And the mainstream media's top concern was that Trump called Spain hopeless. Let that sink in for just a second, right?

Ceasefire Dead And Sanctions Return

SPEAKER_00

President Trump declares the preliminary US-Iran ceasefire effectively dead. At the NATO summit in Ancra, saying, I think it's over. Washington responded by revoking a license that had temporarily allowed the sale of Iranian oil on the world market. The left spent months lecturing us about the importance of preserving this fragile but historic memorandum of understanding, MOA in Tehran. Now, Iran is shooting at American military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait. On the same day Trump is sitting at a NATO summit, and the deal is just literally ash. This is what appeasement always produces, not peace, but a more aggressive adversary who mistakes diplomacy for weakness. Trump pulled the trigger on Iran oil's revenue and called the MOU what it was always, a stalled tactic by a regime that was not buying time, not goodwill. That's all just crisis. That's clarity. But ceasefire collapsing is just the headline. The thing that should be dominating every front page of the free world happened the same morning when elected Iranian lawmakers and lawmakers published an open call to murder Donald J. Trump

Iranian Lawmakers Call For Assassination

SPEAKER_00

while he stood on NATO soil.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Iranian parliamentarians Hamid Rasi said on social media, now that Donald Trump's within our reach and has come to Turkey for NATO summit, let's officially and without pretense target his location in Turkey with missiles. A second hard lawmaker, Mochmojataba Zahari, sorry for killing the name, called for martyrdom, an operation to kill Trump in the streets of Ankara. And also called for death of Turkish president Erdogan, for hoss from hosting him and not killing him. The semi-official Iranian state newspaper Kayan Kian ran the headlines. I want Trump's head. And its editor publicly called for the Iranian government to announce a cash prize for the assassination. Iran had amassed over $100 million for just that purpose. That's today. Let's be brutally precise about what happened here. Sitting members of a foreign government, not a fringe social media account, not an autonomous anonymous extremist, but an elected lawmaker of the Islamic Republic of Iran published a coordinated public call for a missile strike on a sitting president of the United States. A state-aligned newspaper pushed a cash bounty on the president's head. The state-sponsored incitement of a presidential assassination. It is an act of war in any plain reading in international norms and media treating its colored commentary on NATO meetings. The Jerusalem Post governed it. Where is everyone else? Where is everyone else? Where is everyone else? That is what Iran is. This is what it has always been. Tehran Saxon, sanctions, relief, signing ceremonies, and pallets of cash. In exchange for promises, deserves to answer for what those promises brought. Israel has been screaming this for decades. The Islamic Republic is not a rational state actor.

NATO Drama And Media Priorities

SPEAKER_00

They're managed through incentives. It's a theocratic death cult whose founding charter calls for the annihilation of the Jewish state, whose proxies have been targeting its civilians continuously for 47 years. When Iranian lawmakers openly called for the murdering of a president on Turkish soil, they're not going off script. They're reading from the same playbook they've used against Israel since 1979. The only question is whether the West will finally believe Israel was right the whole time or wait for the next escalation to arrive closer at home. All the while of this was unfolding, the Iranian missiles targeted U.S. bases in Iran. Sorry, bases, and Iran lawmakers published an assassination coordinates of the American NATO allies. Essentially nothing. What exactly what Trump said out loud and public in terms made for European diplomatic class reach for their smelling salts? At NATO, Trump publicly assailed European allies for refusing to join the military campaign against Iran, called Spain hopeless, and again raised the desire to control Greenland. His criticism drew sharp media condemnation and was describing as a pal over the summit. The media's framing tells you everything. Iran is calling for the assassination of the American president. The story of the press wants to write that Trump hurt Spain's feelings. Trump went to Ankara because of his relationship with Ergon. Erdogan. He said on arrival, he likely would have skipped the summit otherwise. And he looked around the room at the countries that have been sheltered under the American security umbrella for 80 years and called the ones who won't stand with America when America is literally at war. Spain's defense spending, 2%, lagging. That's not an insult. That's an invoice. Trump is the only NATO leader with a spine to deliver it. And the same media that lectures us about its accountability and government is pearl clutching because they said hopeless instead of underperforming partner. The media left line. Trump's reckless cowboy diplomacy blew up the ceasefire. A more measured diplomatic approach would have produced a lasting deal, David. Why it falls apart? The ceasefire was never a ceasefire. It wasn't going to work. Iran was attacking tankers in the strait, nonstop, targeting US military sites, Bahrain and Kuwait. And the ink wasn't even wet on the MOU. On every day, diplomats praising the deal with its fragile progress. Iranian lawmakers were publishing missile coordinates for the hotel where they are staying at the NATO conference. They sat out an entire conflict. The alliance was supposed to provide collective defense. Trump didn't damage NATO by telling the truth about the freeloaders. The freeloaders damage NATO by refusing to show up. David, Groundhog Day is

Turkey, F-35s, And Regional Power

SPEAKER_00

not even the closest way to describe this. I think Groundhog Day, it's hamster in a wheel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no doubt. Look, let me grab this from you. What Trump really wanted to do is to meet Erdogan to do an F-35 deal, these planes, that these jets that Israel is totally against, because arming Turkey is moving the pond from Iran to Turkey in terms of the power base in the Middle East. And the truth is that Turkey has called for the destruction of Israel. And empowering Turkey means Israel is still under threat. It just moves from Iran to Turkey. And again, the media won't cover that. Right? The same way they didn't cover the, like we talked on Monday, the boat of uh gay people who tried to get off in Turkey and they didn't let it in. The media is picking and choosing what they're gonna talk about. Look at the people on the view. They're blaming APAC for this war. You know, Marjorie Taylor Green was on the view. She's blaming it, they're lapping it in. It's not even funny how distorted, how much misinformation is being passed on. And I know the people who are gonna comment in this in these fields are gonna go, we're idiots, we're crazy. You're just spreading the love that the Iran IRGC is asking for. You're spreading Hamas's lies and Hezbollah's lies, and and now you're spreading Turkey's lies. And if you think that we're alone in this, ladies and gentlemen, we are not. But here's the problem: see, Donald Trump's problem is that he thinks he can make a deal. Every president has said the same thing. I can make a deal. They're arrogant, and you have to be arrogant to become a president of the United States. I mean, you're gonna be the you're called the leader of the super of the free world, the most powerful country in the world. You gotta be arrogant. Obama thought he had it. Stuart, Obama was convinced that he had it, right? This this this J O C P or whatever they call it, JCOP, whatever it was called, he thought he had it. He was full of shit. He didn't give it. Instead, he gave him a boatload of cash, armed them to the teeth in order to annihilate the Middle East. Stuart, it's just fascinating to see that Trump, you know, wanted this deal and he sent Kushner and Witkoff to try to make deals. And guess what? The Iranians aren't interested in deals. And this is what I said way back when. There's no deal making here. An MOU? No interest. These are terrorists between Qatar, Iran, and Turkey. You're talking about three of the most powerful countries when it comes to terrorism in the Middle East. And yet, you think you're gonna make a deal? Erdogan pretends to be a diplomat

No Deals With Terror Regimes

SPEAKER_01

on this side with Trump. On this side, he is an autocrat who literally stole an election to stay remain king of Turkey. He wants to rebuild the Ottoman Empire, just like Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet Empire, just like Iran wants to build the old Persian Empire. It's what it is. The media is not going to tell you that because then they have to admit, guess what? They were wrong. So we need to reframe this. BB's coercing, see, it's BB twisting Trump's arm. You see, this time BB's twisting his arm. Ten minutes ago, BB was Trump's bitch, and and the media in Israel may mocked Bibi, but in American media, Trump is Bibi's bitch. And as a result, this is what the media's done. They're cooking stories, they're not giving you the fact. And the fact is that Iran is a terrorist state. Get over it, plain and simple. They don't want to give up their nuclear weapons, they don't want to give their desire to take over the Middle East, they don't want to give the IRGC, does not want to give up their power, and they will and listen, to the fact that they attacked boats in the Straits of Hormuz, guess what? You think that Hamas kept the ceasefire going? Absolutely not. But guess who the media blamed, Stuart? Israel. When Hezbollah fired rockets on Israel countless nights, every night, Stuart, every night since October 7th, there is firing in one direction or another. There's a ceasefire with Hezbollah. But Hezbollah continues to fire at Israel. What's a ceasefire? There's no ceasefire, it's a diminished fire. That's all it is. The word cease is wrong. And then there's another thing, and this is where Trump screwed up. You called it a peace treaty, the greatest peace treaty ever known. And that's the problem. There's no peace, boys and girls. There isn't gonna be peace. You can't have peace with terrorists. They're either in or they're out. And if you legitimize them, which the media has, the media has, the UN has, I mean, for shit's sake, to put Iran in the United Nations as heads of organizations that control the fate of women and and and refugees and all that, it just shows you that the UN is just as fucked up as can be. And here you go, ladies and gentlemen. Here's the problem. You're all believing the shit that the media shoveled at you. And Mamdani, who will stand up there and praise Iran and its power base, and you have the socialists in America who continue to believe it. You know what, Stuart? The Republicans and the Democrats should be standing together and saying, we need to protect the sanctity of the president of the United States, Republican or Democrat, doesn't make a difference. If someone is interested in assassinating our president, we got to stop it right here and right there. But no, you know what the Democrats are saying? Let them finish the job. Sound familiar? This is the problem. The Democrats are so craving power, the left so badly wants power that if it means assassinating, like Charlie Kirk, if it means assassinating the president, that's a good thing. That's the insanity that we're dealing with here. Not a condemnation, not a harsh, oh my God, this is a common enemy. It's a praise and or another way to shit on Trump. Look what look how he screwed up, look how he messed up, look how we ruined it. Diplomacy would have worked. 47 years of diplomacy didn't work. What today it's gonna work? You're all delusional, people.

SPEAKER_00

Wake it up. Let me drop the hammer. This is the week the entire architecture of the progressive Iranian diplomacy collapsed under the weight of its own delusion. The Islamic Republic isn't negotiating partner, it's a regime that shoots on American bases and puts bounties on American precedents and calls for the suicide bombing in the streets of NATO capitals. All the while, the apologists Washington and Brussels call for restraint and dialogue. Trump said, I'll think it over. And he's right. Not because he failed, but because he knew the deal was fixing. Israel knew it, Trump knew it. The only people who didn't know it were the ones desperately investing in not knowing it. The Moolas reached for a knife

Final Warning And Sign-Off

SPEAKER_00

at NATO summit. The only appropriate response is one the left has always been too cowardly to authorize. That, David, is a rap.

SPEAKER_01

You know what, Stuart? I'm gonna give you one little piece of everybody piece of advice. We didn't talk about Graham Platner. And we didn't talk about others. But take a look at how many times the media has told you one thing and it's been proven wrong. And what do they do? They run away like squirrels, like rats. And here in this case, you're gonna see they will have to run away. On that note, ladies and gentlemen, we wish you a wonderful week. Have a good one. Friday, we're back. We're back Friday again, no matter what anybody tells you. We'll be back again on Friday. And we look forward to hearing too. Share and like with Vietnam, guys. We love it. Take care. Have a great rest of the week.
