They’ve killed Americans, they were building a nuclear weapon, and they’ve murdered 16,000 of their own people this year alone. This isn’t politics. This is common sense. In this video I break down exactly where the Iran war stands right now — the failed ceasefire talks, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, why the Democrats’ hypocrisy on this is staggering, and what Trump absolutely must do to finish this. I also address Netanyahu’s influence, Trump’s campaign promise of no new wars, and why America cannot afford to walk away from this without winning. I’ve got no horse in this race except my children, my grandchildren, and this country. That’s enough.
