Netanyahu Tells Trump to Ignore His Own Voters While Shapiro Pitches Us a Ground War

Rob Bernstein opens with a produced satirical cold open recapping the full lunacy of the Iran war, then dives into why the Kash Patel hack was probably Iran flexing that they have more dirt where that came from. The episode centers on the growing case for breaking up with Israel: other countries are paying Iran for Hormuz access, creating a natural off-ramp to the war that only Israel loses from -- and Donald Trump might finally be cornered into choosing between Netanyahu and reality. Rob tears through clips of Caroline Levitt insisting Iran has "already been defeated" while Iran blows up a $300 million plane and strikes Israeli desalination plants, Marco Rubio's goalpost-shifting "weeks not months" timeline that's now past a month, Netanyahu telling Trump to ignore anti-war polls, and Ben Shapiro's pitch for ground troops that boils down to "we have a military so we might as well use it." Trump's staff reveals they have an unofficial rule of waiting for him to say something twice before acting on it because he says too much crazy stuff, and Rob proposes a 24-hour confirmation system for presidential statements. The show wraps with USAID green energy grift allegations in Ukraine, the TSA self-funding fix, and DeSantis spending $2 million to rename an airport after Trump.Full episode on YouTube: RobbieTheFireMore content and paywalled episodes at robbernsteincomedy.com -- all five bucks a month.Merch at: RobbernsteinMerch.comSponsors: YOKRATOM.com---## Chapters00:00:00 - Cold Open: The Iran War Satirical Newsreel00:06:07 - Kash Patel Hack: Iran Flexing They Got More00:07:01 - Countries Paying Iran for Hormuz Access: The Off-Ramp00:09:52 - Cut Your Losses and Break Up With Israel00:12:09 - Trump Wants His Signature on US Currency00:13:35 - Trump's Negotiation Timeline: 5 Days, 10 Days, 15 Days00:14:06 - Iran Blows Up a Kurdish Oil Tanker and a $300M Plane00:15:14 - The Military's "95% Obliterated" Lie00:16:57 - New York Post Selling the War: Ex-General Says We're Ahead of Schedule00:17:42 - Roll the Clip: Rubio's War Timetable00:19:17 - Rubio on Iran: Imagine If They Spent Money on Their People00:20:42 - Rubio's Weeks Not Months Claim vs. Reality00:23:06 - Netanyahu Says War Beyond Halfway Point, Tells Trump to Ignore Polls00:25:28 - War Progress Report: Only 30% of Stockpiles Destroyed00:26:00 - Trump on the Aircraft Carrier Getting Hit00:27:05 - 13 US Bases Uninhabitable and Remote Work Joke00:27:44 - Caroline Levitt: Iran Has Already Been Defeated00:30:05 - Monty Python "Tis But a Scratch" Iran Comparison00:30:40 - The Hill: Trump's Staff Waits for Him to Say It Twice00:33:41 - Comments Break00:37:40 - Trump Distracted by a Gold Tractor00:38:26 - Proposal: ADD Trump Off These Topics with Atlantis00:39:44 - Trump on Unused 10-Year-Old Equipment (Epstein Context)00:40:25 - Trump's 15-Point Iran Truce Plan Lets Missiles Slide00:42:54 - Trump Annoyed France Won't Share Airspace00:44:53 - Europe Breaking Up With Israel Over Oil00:45:15 - Ben Shapiro's Pitch for Ground Troops00:46:00 - This Is COVID All Over Again: Two Weeks to Slow the Curve00:48:12 - Shapiro Flips the Script: "Military Activity Is Necessary"00:50:51 - Iranian Propaganda Guy Mocking Trump and Epstein Connection00:53:02 - Mark Levin Troops on the Ground Tease00:53:18 - Trump on Fox: My Uncle at MIT Knew Nukes00:55:37 - Hegseth on Hormuz Tolling: "Unacceptable"00:58:03 - Producer Man Technical Difficulties00:58:23 - Netanyahu "I Can Control the Height of the Flames" Leaked Video01:00:34 - USAID Ukraine Clean Energy Grift Allegations01:02:53 - At Least Trump Gives Us Real Problems (Not Climate Nonsense)01:03:29 - Ice Core CO2 Study: Both Sides Claim Victory01:04:27 - TSA Self-Funding Fix: Just Charge $10 a Ticket01:05:30 - Politicians Only Fix Things When It Affects Their Flights01:07:06 - Florida Renames Palm Beach Airport for Trump01:07:34 - Comments, Paywall Tease, and Sign-Off
