Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : 🔴 REACTION to Trump's UN Speech & What Lies Netanyahu Will Tell the UN ?
Summary
Judge Napolitano and Professor Jeffrey Sachs discuss President Trump’s threats to annihilate Iran at the UN, framing them as a catastrophic collapse of constitutional order and a violation of the exclusive war-declaring power of Congress. Sachs contrasts this "psychopathic" rhetoric with the diplomatic statesmanship of JFK, highlighting the silence of congressional leaders and the hypocrisy of demanding inspections of Iran while ignoring Israel’s unverified nuclear arsenal. The episode also previews upcoming segments featuring John Mearsheimer, Aaron Matas, and Lawrence Wilkerson.
