Carlson raises the question of whether Trump would veto the NDAA if it reaches his desk. Kucinich's answer is pessimistic: Netanyahu has already demonstrated he will publicly defy the President of the United States. During Iran ceasefire negotiations, one of Iran's key conditions was that Israel stop attacking South Lebanon. Netanyahu refused, publicly. [1] — Dennis Kucinich "Netanyahu publicly defied President Trump during ceasefire negotiations with Iran, refusing to stop attacks on South Lebanon — a key Irania…" 1:01:40 The leader of a country of 9 to 10 million people openly rejected the authority of the leader of a nation of 340 million. The result: the ceasefire collapsed, the war continued, and the bill to American taxpayers will be approximately one trillion dollars. Kucinich then raises a more explosive allegation: Israel was allegedly planning to assassinate Iran's principal peace negotiators. The logic is cold and clear — peace is an existential threat to Netanyahu's coalition and to his own freedom, since he faces criminal prosecution and needs continuous war to stay in power and out of prison. The episode's most chilling metaphor arrives here: the only difference between a hole and a grave is in the dimensions.
Every congressional district has a defense contractor. Those contractors lobby members directly, citing the jobs at stake in their specific district. The result is a built-in structural majority for any defense spending bill, no matter what's folded inside it. Section 219 exploits this: a genocidal military merger rides to passage on the backs of factory workers in Ohio.
Netanyahu publicly defied President Trump during ceasefire negotiations with Iran, refusing to stop attacks on South Lebanon — a key Iranian condition for peace. The leader of a nation of 9 million people openly rejected the authority of the leader of 340 million. And then the war continued, adding roughly a trillion dollars to American debt.
Kucinich estimated the US war against Iran will cost approximately one trillion dollars, most of which will be added to national debt.
The road back starts by stopping the forever wars, ending the relationship with a country perpetually on a warpath, and rebuilding diplomatic credibility so the world keeps using the dollar. Then comes the domestic rebuild: public education, universal healthcare, job creation, infrastructure, and town hall democracy. Not ideology — the FDR New Deal basics. Kucinich ends with a call to re-excite America's civic soul.
