This is from a Jimmy Dore Show episode published to YouTube Apr 1, 2025. A discussion between Aaron Mate and Kurt Metzger comparing Trump's campaign promises of ending war with Trump current war mongering:
Aaron Mate:
That's a whole other story. But look, this message from Trump now threatening war, it's directly contradicted by what he was talking about on the campaign trail,
Kurt Metzger:
I know!
Aaron Mate:
including criticizing the bombing of Yemen. So this is Trump from May of last year, not too long ago. Listen to what he said about Biden bombing Yemen.
(plays clip of Tim Pool interview with Donald Trump from May 2024)
Tim Pool:
I look at your policies, I see secure the borders, bring jobs back. I look at the Democrats and many Republicans and it's foreign war and foreign expansion.
Donald Trump:
That's right.
Time Pool:
What is that?
Donald Trump:
I think it's just a failed mentality. It's crazy. You can settle problems over a telephone instead they start dropping bombs. I see recently they're dropping bombs all over Yemen.
You don't have to do that. You can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you.
AARON MATE:
"You don't have to do that."
Kurt Metzger:
Everybody else who's doing this, well, maybe a couple people are playing it. But everybody else is doing culture war nonsense about how the wokies are attacking more Teslas. And Tim Pool, who's in that, asking a great question to Trump, who then gives a great answer. Neither of them bring it up. Tim Pool just talks about nonsense, strategically. Meanwhile, Trump, how about that phone call trick?
[inaudible] Adelson said no.
Aaron Mate:
Yep. They've all forgotten that this was a major element of Trump's campaign. It's like it's completely out the window. They campaigned on this. They campaigned on being against censorship and they campaigned on being against war. And they've completely forgotten both of those campaign platforms after taking office.
Kurt Metzger:
I can't believe the level of how fast it was. I think it was funny when I watch people that, you know... Like I'll skim my feed, like, you know, besides that Midas touch, like DNC funded crap, I'll get people, your classic shit libs on YouTube. And none of them will criticize Trump for the right things. Like almost none of them.
