@ann1ken82: In this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, comedian, podcaster, and political commentator Dave Smith shares his libertarian perspective on U.S. foreign policy, government overreach, and the influence of lobbying groups on American politics. Smith discusses how public opinion in the United States has shifted since the George W. Bush administration, particularly regarding the War on Terror and the events surrounding 9/11. He argues that the American people were misled into supporting wars in the Middle East, which he believes were driven by neoconservative agendas and bolstered by foreign policy interests, including those of Israel under leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu. He criticizes the vilification of Muslims in American media and politics during the post-9/11 era, claiming this narrative distracted from deeper issues within the U.S. political establishment. Smith raises concerns about the role of powerful lobbying groups like AIPAC and their alleged influence over American lawmakers through campaign funding and political pressure. The conversation also touches on domestic matters, including what Smith views as the unjust treatment of former President Donald Trump by intelligence agencies, reflecting a broader concern about the so-called "deep state" working against elected leaders. On the topic of Israel and Palestine, Smith acknowledges the religious and historical significance of the region for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. However, he strongly criticizes what he sees as the ongoing displacement of Palestinians and warns against the U.S. becoming entangled in more foreign conflicts, particularly with Iran. He questions the justification for the billions of dollars in U.S. aid sent to Israel each year, arguing that those resources could be better spent addressing issues at home. Smith urges Americans to critically examine how foreign policy decisions are made and to reconsider the country’s role in overseas military engagements that, in his view, often serve interests other than those of the American people. #americafirst #americanlivesmatter #maga #september11 #thematrix
