00:00Elon, is Israel trying to force the US into this conflict?

00:07No, Israel doesn't want to force the US into a conflict.

00:10But I think there is a good cop, bad cop routine here.

00:13Because the only leverage that the United States has right now to get a nuclear deal

00:18when Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear weapon is the threat of military action.

00:23I was surprised to hear Jasmine saying that if Iran were really on the cusp of nuclear weapons,

00:28the US would absolutely go and use the military option.

00:31It's not clear to me that the US would do that.

00:34It's not clear to me that the US would prefer to attack Iran's nuclear facilities

00:39than to allow Iran to go nuclear.

00:41But for Israel, it is considered existential.

00:44It was existential when Saddam Hussein was on the brink of nuclear weapons.

00:48It was existential when the Assad regime was on the brink of nuclear weapons.

00:53And it would be existential if the regime that is chanting,

00:56death to America, death to Israel, and has enough 60% enriched uranium for 10 nuclear bombs

01:02who are able to weaponize that and turn that into nuclear weapons.

01:05So look, everyone wants diplomacy to succeed.

01:08Israel is saying we want the international community

01:11to take firm, urgent action against Iran's non-compliance right now.

01:16But if diplomacy fails, if diplomacy fails, and Iran is indeed a whisker away from converting

01:25that into a nuclear weapon, getting that 90% uranium, then Israel is going to be with its

01:30back against the wall.

01:31And no one needs to tell us what the risks are going to be.

01:33I had to run to a bomb shelter when the Iranian regime fired ballistic missiles at us last April

01:39and last October.

01:40Poor, poor Levy, as your country is carrying out the slaughter of innocent children in

01:45Gaza and the West Bank.

01:46I can't even hear you right now because I'm trying to talk.

01:48Oh, you are such a victim, Levy.

01:49You are such a victim.

01:50Israel is...

01:51Yes.

01:51I can't stomach these lies.

01:51Okay, you can wait your turn.

01:53I really can't.

01:53I understand.

01:54Just let Elon finish and then we'll bring you in.

01:57I can't.

01:58You can wait your turn.

01:58It literally makes me sick.

01:59You can wait your turn.

02:00It literally makes me sick.

02:01The lies make me sick.

02:01Believe me, the nausea is absolutely mutual.

02:04I'd never heard of you before, but the nausea is absolutely mutual.

02:07I had to run to a bomb shelter when Iran was firing ballistic missiles at Israel, and I

02:13will have to run to a missile shelter where I won't be able to have internet connection

02:16to continue giving interviews if Iran attacks us back.

02:19Stop committing genocide.

02:20But a nuclear Iran would be the worst option, not only for Israel, but also for all the nations

02:27in the Middle East that are desperate to break free from the yoke of the Iranian regime.

02:33Okay, Anna, go ahead.

02:34Just full of lies.

02:37I mean, you can, I can show you videos dating back to 1996 in which Benjamin Netanyahu is

02:45testifying before Congress to say that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

02:51They were lobbying for us to invade Iraq all the way back to 1996.

02:58So to the international community, to my fellow Americans, please do not fall for the same

03:04lies again.

03:06My heart breaks for all the innocent lives that will be lost.

03:10My heart breaks for the American soldiers who are going to risk their lives on behalf

03:14of this country that is obviously lying to us right now.

03:16It is going to be a complete and utter disaster.

03:19And if you think, if you think that beating Iran or doing regime change in Iran is going

03:24to be a cakewalk, consider the fact that it has far greater landmass than Iraq does.

03:3090 million people, far more military capability than Iraq ever had.

03:35And we couldn't even defeat the Houthis in Yemen.

03:40You think we're going to be able to beat Iran?

03:43So many people are going to die.

03:44It's going to be a disaster.

03:46Don't fall for his lies, please.

03:47I'm begging you all to read into it and research it yourself.

03:50If you take what the Israelis are saying at face value, you're going to walk into complete

03:54death and destruction.
