Joe Rogan Guest Tells Podcaster It Doesn't Pass the Smell Test' to Fear' Israel's Influence Over Trump

"In this country, the concern with Judaism is the support of the Israeli military. That's the concern. The concern is the amount of influence that it has on the United States government, how we got into the Iran war, why we give them so much influence over our military, over our decision making, over our politicians. Rogan continued, saying AIPAC famously supports a large number of American lawmakers. That's the big fear, that there's an inordinate amount of influence that Israel has over foreign policy, our decisions, and even our political structure, he added."

"Saad responded by saying there were a lot of ways to tackle this issue. But he started off by saying that, even if you take Israel out of the equation, there are plenty of other countries like France and the United Kingdom that would be thrilled if Iran never obtained a nuclear weapon. So to frame the issue of the U.S. is attacking or is involved in the attack on the Iranians as the United States doesn't have personal agency, [that] they're all wood crickets that are being puppeteered by this incredibly powerful lobby called Israel that simply doesn't pass the smell test, Saad told him."

"Saad continued by saying Israel has shared interests with the United States as most allies would where they both agree that probably an Iranian regime that has nuclear weapons would not be a good thing for world peace. He added: Because these two countries have maybe greater testicular fortitude than the NATO countries, it seems as though the Israelis are puppeteering the Americans."

The exchange centers on claims about U.S. influence tied to Israel and concerns about how that influence affects military decisions and political outcomes. The concern is described as the amount of influence Israel has over U.S. government decision-making, including involvement in major actions such as the Iran war. AIPAC is cited as supporting many American lawmakers, reinforcing fears of disproportionate sway over foreign policy and political structure. Gad Saad responds that the issue can be addressed in multiple ways and argues that even without Israel, other countries would strongly prefer Iran not obtain nuclear weapons. He rejects the idea that the U.S. lacks agency and is merely puppeteered by a powerful lobby, emphasizing shared interests between Israel and the United States regarding nuclear proliferation and world peace.
