Rod D. Martin and Cary Dunst discuss the ceasefire violations, Lebanon, the peace talks, Iran's efforts to play the U.S. midterms, plus the winners and losers around the world.
An excellent segment on NTD News hosted by Cary Dunst with Dr. Martin! Wow! Where to start? There’s a lot to get into here. First off, Iran is sending drones to attack Israel and firing missiles at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to try and ware out American voters and the get the United States to end their military operations in Iran and declare victory. This war was a gamble on Trump’s part. The risk of a wider war breaking out or America and Israel getting sucked further in was always there, gas prices skyrocketed across the country (though they are gradually getting better but are still high) and his approval rating at the moment is 35% I would say largely due to the war and many people feeling he should be concentrating on matters here at home. He is a deeply unpopular President at the moment and Iran is a big part of why. But he nonetheless, made the right decision and took this gamble because he and his administration knew they could succeed and would pay off in the end. Despite all the complaints about the war, it has gone fell so far. Iran is not doing themselves any favors with their actions. Trump will wait them out and a peace deal with the regime will be achieved. No, that would not be selling Iran out, as the United States is currently training the Iranian rebel forces to fight the Islamic Republic. No doubt, Trump threw caution into the wind by launching this war and Americans in the short term at least, are feeling the pinch and his approval rating has taken a hit and he is under fire from all sides. But at the end of the day, peace will be achieved and history will prove him right.
The Iranians think they can get Trump to abandon the Iran just like the Democrats in Congress abandoned Vietnam and Joe Biden abandoned Afghanistan. We’ve all seen how both those situations played out. Vietnam fell to the Communists and hundreds of thousands were sent to reeducation camps or were executed outright. It also caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in human history with the Indochina Refugee Crisis. President Biden basically handed Afghanistan to the Taliban on a silver platter. The result? A repeat of the fall of Hanoi in Kabul, the birth of yet another massive refugee crisis, the Taliban’s return to power, girls and women being banned from school and the workplace, parents selling their children to stay alive, and terrorists once again be welcomed and finding safe harbor in Afghanistan. Did you know Al-Qaeda now has more training camps in Afghanistan than they did before the initial American invasion in 2001? Yep. That’s right. You read that right. The surrender of Afghanistan has had effects that resonate right up to this day. For instance, last November an Afghan refugee who came to America as part of Operation Good Allies a program designed to rescue Afghans loyal to the U.S., opened fire on police officers in Fairfax, Virginia wounded two police officers. The man ranted and raved about hating the United States. He was not properly vetted and was probably a member of the Taliban who lied to immigration authorities and came here to wage all-out war on the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Thanks Biden! You made that possible buddy! Now look, I’m pro-immigration and pro-refugee and I’m all for Operation Good Allies. But for the love of Pete can we do a better job vetting people before we bring them into our country? In any case, that’s not gonna happen with Iran. Donald Trump whatever licks he’s taken for the war and whatever pressure he’s getting from the left and the right, is resolute! Besides, his base overwhelmingly support Operation Epic Fury. Hezbollah firing missiles at Northern Israel is a surprise to no one. Hezbollah is always taking shots at Israel every chance they get. Hezbollah hate America, the West and Israel and are virulently anti-Semitic as well as anti-LGBTQ+. Israel is absolutely doing the right thing by going after them. They are Islamist fanatics who don’t represent the people of Lebanon. They are just as much a danger to them as to the Israeli people as a matter of fact. They use Lebanese civilians as human shields. This is why Israel evacuated all the Shi’ite Muslims out of Southern Lebanon. So they’d be safe and Hezbollah could not hide among them.
Hezbollah have committed too many human rights violations to count. In addition to what I’ve already mentioned, they killed 63 people in the 1983 U.S. embassy bombing and killed 305 people in the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut. In February 2005, they assassinated former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Harari. They take IDF soldiers and civilians as hostages, they have repressed and assassinated political opponents, they have repressed free speech, they take no precautions to protect civilians, militarize civilians areas, use Syrian and Palestinian refugees to do forced labor, marginalize women within their movement, and purposely use imprecise and inaccurate weapons that are guaranteed to hit the wrong target and kill civilians. Needless to say, these are NOT good people! Israel is dealing with them as they should! Returning to Iran, the United States and Israel’s limited military operations have greatly weakened them and the American blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has been devastating! Robbing them of 500 million dollars a day! It’s not good for Russia and China either. China has now lost 40% of their shadow trade oil and Russia has now lost a good portion of their’s as well. How will all this play in the midterms? If Trump can get a deal with Iran by November which I think he will, then it will be a huge coup for the President!
I believe a red wave is coming in November. The Democrats are floundering and have accomplished nothing on behalf of the American people. Other than waging war on Trump, what of substance have they done for the people of this country? What bills have they passed? Nothing. Notta. Zero. The Democrat’s gerrymandering plans are likely to be struck down by the Supreme Court. Virginia has already struck down their gerrymandering plans in that state. Donald Trump has a long list of accomplishments to his name including just to name a few, his tariffs, the capture of Nicolas Maduro, bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities into dust, securing our Southern border, striking Maduro’s drug boats, the Laken Riley Act, the Big Beautiful Bill Act, standing by Israel in the Gaza War, creating the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to feed the people of Gaza, sending the National Guard into our cities and dramatically bringing down crime, saving the taxpayers fifty billion dollars with the DOGE, the MAHA Initiative, closing down USAID and the NED, deporting three million illegal immigrants, getting TSA workers paid during the recent government shutdown, banning DEI, banning gender-affirming care for minors, restoring the National Day of Prayer, bombing the Houthis into submission in Yemen, negotiating eight peace treaties, banning Transgender athletes in women’s sports, reviving space exploration, restoring Mount McKinley’s rightful name, reforming the U.S. Military and achieving record levels of recruitment, and much more.
Returning to the Democratic Party, the Obamas are out there smugly lecturing the country again. I love Barack Obama and would gladly have voted for him had I been old enough in 2008 and 2012. But I can’t stand Michelle Obama. All she does is whine about Trump and how racist America is. Never mind the fact that America has been so good to her. Michelle grew up in a time when the Jim Crow laws had long been vanquished by the civil rights movement and she had opportunities open to her other prominent black women from American history like Phillis Wheatley, Biddie Mason, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, Sojourner Truth, Mary Church Terrell, Madam C.J. Walker, Bessie Coleman, Marian Anderson, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Rosa Parks never had in their lifetimes. But she’s not grateful for any of it. She attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School and earned two degrees, was First Lady of the United States for eight years, is fabulously wealthy, and has a house in Martha’s Vineyard. Yet she still cries racism and talks about how awful America is. Like when she claimed she straightened her hair because America wasn’t ready for a black woman wearing her natural hair in the White House. That’s nonsense! She straightened her hair because she chose to of her own free will. I think she is a borderline abusive spouse who treats her husband like garbage. President Trump has been directing the situation in Iran brilliantly. He has always reminded me of Ronald Reagan. Like Reagan came and restored America in the 1980s, so too did Donald Trump come and restore America in the 2020s. He is also the funniest President we’ve had since Reagan. Remember that moment with the two Turkeys he pardoned in November of last year?
