The Israeli Terrorists
Summary
Dave Smith and Roberto El Flammo Bernino discuss the ongoing Iran conflict, criticizing JD Vance’s claim that it is not a war and noting the administration’s lack of a clear timeline. The hosts analyze Trump’s economic ignorance regarding trade deficits and tariffs, arguing that his views on stopping trade are fundamentally flawed. They also cover Mike Huckabee’s recent admission that Israeli settlers are committing terrorism, contrasting it with the disproportionate military response to Palestinian actions.
