I think this was an important conversation and both made good points. We need more debates like this. The most intelligent, productive debates come from the right.
I don't like Tucker either but I can stand him longer than Tarlov. I hate that stupid laugh he has. I do the same thing with him as I do with Jessica, I erase or change the channel when he's on.
Does America have any true allies any longer? Is there any free nation we would go to war to protect? Will we become an island with no one to come to our aid if we are surrounded? We are becoming more and more isolationist it seems. We don’t want to aid in a fight against pure evil. And we all know pure evil exists.
We debate aid to an extremely small country surrounded by evil that wants to kill them. Are they perfect? Of course not. Neither unfortunately are we. But they are not intent on killing their neighbors.
So, should we just sit back and watch people be killed indiscriminately by evil and console ourselves that it’s not our problem?

Entertaining recap…
It's funny and informative that you saw this and thought to yourself, "Gotcha"!
I know you might not be able to process this, but it's actually a good thing to have disagreement and fervent debate by people within the same political party. Independent thought is a good thing...as crazy as that sounds to you.

Well, when a country like ours is 36 trillion dollars in debt and growing, and probably the two biggest causes of our debt is defense spending and sending foreign to every single country around the world, including countries that hate us, then yes, being an isolationist nation is the best course of action.
Also, if we are invaded, there are more guns than citizens in this country. We'll be ok for a while. The anti-second amendment nuts will change their tune real quick when Chinese or Russian soldiers break into their homes, and point the barrels of their guns at them with intent to kill.

There is zero chance of that happening.
Beat me to it. Certainly not while any of us are alive. The oceans give us an inherent advantage, and we consistently maintain the world's strongest military.

Exactly! I am not a fan of the smug prick.
I generally listen to his podcast at work, because he does have long form interviews with some very interesting guests. That "cackle" of his and his constant "That's Just a Fact!" thing he does can be a bit tiresome. I think Ole Tucker absolutely stepped on his pud here with his Iran good, Israel/US bad schtick. He's trying to walk it back now, but guys like Mark Levin are absolutely going scorched earth on his arse.
