Iran, Trump's Military Strikes, and the Body Count Video

At 37:10 · chapter starts 30:30

Pivoting from domestic to foreign policy, Bongino argues that the same radical left celebrating DSA victories domestically is also cheerleading for Iran internationally. He plays a Trump administration video that catalogs Iran's 47-year history of killing Americans — 160 deaths, 180 attacks — alongside the $1.7 billion payment made by a previous administration and Iran's nuclear development toward an estimated 11-bomb capability. Bongino frames the criticism of Trump's Iran strikes as logically incoherent: if you complain when Trump negotiates with Iran, and then complain when he destroys their military and kills top leadership, what exactly is your preferred policy? His answer to critics who call Trump a warmonger: the people Obama negotiated with are now dead because Trump's military killed them, and that is precisely the point.
