Lazer and stepped in and like, stop being idiots. Let's be friends again. So thanks for coming back on.
Nick (0:05)
Yeah, absolutely. Good to be back with you.
Jake (0:08)
Yeah. I think, I think you've just been crushing it lately with Iran Trump. I think me and you are the only podcasters on the right that didn't endorse Trump.
Nick (0:17)
I think you're right. Yeah. Because a lot of the people that agree with us about Israel wound up endorsing him. Even some of the people that are against the war.
Jake (0:26)
Now, I had a lot of pressure to endorse them. Did you? Maybe not as much because you already kind of ostracized, but they were kind of offered me, like, favors, bring me to the White House.
Nick (0:35)
But, oh, yeah, huge. I mean, I was. I came out very early, I think, in May or June of 24, saying I wasn't going to vote. And the pressure was enormous. We were ridiculed, me and the Gripers ridiculed and attacked throughout the whole election for that. And, and we said specifically, we're not voting for Trump because he's going to bring us to war in Iran. And here we are, you know, so, you know what?
Jake (0:57)
I didn't think he was bring war that ran. I, I did know he's owned by Israel, but I actually, I thought it was possible, but I thought it was like 30, 20. You. You know that because you kept saying that.
Nick (1:08)
Yeah, thanks.
Jake (1:09)
You thought he was going to do exactly what they were going to say, or why did you think he was? Because it's so insane to go to war with Iran.
Nick (1:14)
It's totally insane. And it wasn't even on most people's radar. I remember having conversations with people back then and telling them, this is a real risk, it's a real concern. And for most normies, they just weren't even thinking about it. And the reason is, you gotta remember 2024, this was in the thick of the war in Gaza, as well as the war in Lebanon and the regime change in Syria. That all happened in rapid succession in the spring, summer, and then fall and winter of 2024. And so I remember watching all that heat up, and I always knew basically since the beginning that eventually that campaign by Israel would roll into a regime change war in Iran, just based on the rhetoric. They were even broadcasting it very openly at the very beginning, early on. And so I just listened to what Netanyahu said and I saw that they all coalesced around the Republicans. And when Trump won the nomination, Mary Madison cut the check for $100 million and I just sort of saw the vision. Israel's taking it to Iran. They need Trump in position because they need America to help them. And so I didn't know exactly, like you said, it's so shocking that it has happened to. I didn't know how or when exactly, but I knew that eventually that was going to be the play. And sure enough, there it went.
