It's Bigger Than Nukes: America’s Hidden Strategy - The Method Behind Trump’s Chaotic Foreign Policies | Eli Lake | Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Tom Bilyeu interviews Eli Lake about the recent strike on Iran's nuclear program. They discuss the history of anti-Semitism in relation to Israel, the effectiveness of Israeli intelligence, and whether Iran had actually made a nuclear breakthrough. Lake argues that the strike was justified due to Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its support for terrorist groups, and that it could lead to a democratic uprising in Iran. They also discuss the division within the right-wing regarding the strike, the potential for negotiations with Iran, and the possibility of increased investment in America from Gulf countries. Finally, they touch on the challenges of modernizing Islam, the Epstein conspiracy, and the future of Gaza.
