Joe Rogan Regular Apologizes For Donald Trump Support
Hello, and welcome to today's edition of "People who voted for a convicted felon but have finally discovered something that crosses the line." Today's edition comes courtesy of Dave Smith, a "comedian" and Joe Rogan Experience regular.
Now, ol' Dave is a Libertarian who peddles COVID misinformation and believes that the previous "regime" covered up a "goddamn child trafficking network." He previously endorsed Donald Trump for president.
In an interview on the Breaking Points podcast, Dave criticized Trump's handling of the Iran-Israel conflict, calling the President's comments on "negotiating" a "deal" a "joke." Dave said of the "impotent leader," "I supported him this last year, I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one. But he should be impeached and removed for this one."
"Of course, the congress will never do it because they're all a bunch of corrupt hacks," he continued. "All of his supporters should turn on him. It's an absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on and everything that he stood for."
"Despite the fact that Donald Trump supporters have been labeled a cult following, and that certainly is true for a percentage of his supporters, he is going to lose his coalition over this. I don't just speak for myself when I say there are a lot of us who simply will not go along with this. It's a devastating mistake," the 42-year-old added. "He's also going to lose the deportation fight because of this. Right now, he needed all the political capital he could have...the neo-cons win. More war abroad."
Before being elected, Trump said at a rally, "If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace." He has since bombed Yemen, supported Israel, and most recently said that "it's possible" that the US might get involved in the Iran-Israel conflict.

A number of Tomahawk cruise missiles were also fired at targets inside Iran from a U.S. Navy submarine, the official confirmed. Following the strikes, Trump addressed the nation, calling it a "spectacular military success."

Israel defence minister vows forceful response following Iran missile launches
Saeed Qaq/Anadolu via Getty Images The Israeli military detected missiles from Iran headed toward Israel. Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to respond. This comes just hours after a ceasefire announcement. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday he ordered the country's military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran's violation of a ceasefire with Israel. The directive followed an announcement by the military that it had detected missile launches from Iran toward Israel. The Israeli military told the public to enter protected spaces and remain there until further notice. Less than three hours earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that the ceasefire was now in effect. Katz said the military had now been instructed to carry out high-intensity operations against targets in Tehran. READ | 3 killed in Israel following Trump Iran ceasefire announcement AFP reported that Iraq reopened its airspace on Tuesday, 12 days after closing it amid the Iran-Israel war, aviation authorities said, following Israel's acceptance of a ceasefire plan announced by Trump. The Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority announced the 'reopening of Iraqi airspace to international air traffic, following a comprehensive assessment of the security situation and coordination with relevant national and international authorities'. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed Trump's call for a sequential ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and appealed to the two parties to adhere to it, in a post on his X account on Tuesday, according to Reuters. 'If this ceasefire succeeds after the decisive US military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, it is a very good development,' Merz wrote. The German leader said he would discuss ways to stabilise the situation with American and European partners on the sidelines of Tuesday's NATO summit. China urged Iran and Israel on Tuesday to seek a 'political resolution' to their conflict. 'The Chinese side calls on relevant parties to return to the correct path of political resolution at an early date,' foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said. China said it 'hoped that a ceasefire can be achieved as soon as possible'. 'The facts have proven that military means cannot bring peace and dialogue and negotiations are the right path to solving problems,' Guo added. 'The Chinese side is willing to work together with the international community to contribute efforts to maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East region,' he said.
