Daniel McCarthy, editor of Modern Age and The American Conservative and former coordinator of the 2008 Ron Paul campaign for president, is claiming that some non-interventionists are behaving as “reverse neocons” by claiming that President Trump should have exerted his influence or power to stop Israel from attacking Iran.

“Trump doesn’t control Israel and Israel doesn’t control Trump. If you say the U.S. shouldn’t tell other countries what to do, but you insist the U.S. should have stopped Israel from attacking Iran, you’re not exactly a non-interventionist.”

On today’s episode we’ll explain why McCarthy’s argument doesn’t hold up.

Using American weapons and American taxpayer money, the government of Israel bombed Iran yesterday, and seemingly has the full support of the Trump regime. Will this be the start of the war that American neoconservatives and the Israeli Likud Party have been agitating for my entire life, or will this help with the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran over their nuclear energy program? Hopefully not the former, but probably not the latter either.

“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come - And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!” - President Donald Trump

“Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to “make a deal.” They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!” - President Donald Trump

President Trump and Vice President Vance are demanding that the Federal Reserve lower interest rates to create a false boom in the economy that would inevitably go bust and lead to a downturn, but probably not until after they’re safely out of office.

“The president has been saying this for a while, but it's even more clear: the refusal by the Fed to cut rates is monetary malpractice.” - Vice President J.D. Vance

“CPI JUST OUT. GREAT NUMBERS! FED SHOULD LOWER ONE FULL POINT. WOULD PAY MUCH LESS INTEREST ON DEBT COMING DUE. SO IMPORTANT!!!” - President Donald J. Trump

My response to Vance on X did not go what anyone would call viral, but certainly is one of my biggest tweets ever leading to almost 20 new followers in a few hours.

“Artificially manipulating interest rates at all is counterfeit and theft. That’s what you’re advocating.”

The Austrian School of economics teaches us, to put it simply, that keeping interest rates artificially low creates money out of thin air and devalues the currency which is the cause of price inflation throughout the economy, and, worse, leads to malinvestments that create an artificial boom in the economy that inevitably goes bust leading to a recession.

Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States. Again. The main reason that I voted for Donald Trump in this election is because the Democratic Party chose to install their eventual nominee after hosting a rigged primary in favor of President Joe Biden, and their refusal to let Democratic voters choose the direction of the party is one of the big reasons, in my opinion, why the party keeps losing so spectacularly to Trump. When they had a relatively competitive primary in 2020 they beat him, and when they rigged the primaries in 2016 and 2024 they got crushed.

Reminder that I am still in the beta phase of the podcast, so please message me or comment with any feedback that you have, technical or otherwise. I know episode 5 the volume was ridiculously low, whereas the four previous episodes the volume was a little bit too high. This is all a work in progress. Hopefully this episode will sound much better. Thanks for listening.

Another example of President Joe Biden trying to sabotage the Kamala Harris campaign, him calling Donald Trump supporters “garbage” to get them all riled up and ready to vote for Donald Trump with less than a week to go before the election.

Here is the video that I played during the episode:

I do not care what anyone says, President Joe Biden voted for Donald Trump, and you won’t convince me otherwise without showing me his actual ballot.

One note on this episode of the podcast: This is the first episode I have recorded in Audacity rather than GarageBand, and I actually think it sounds much better. I think I will continue using Audacity for the foreseeable future. That said, still in the beta phase of this podcast so please let me know anything I can be doing better. Feedback is extremely welcome.

Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for her first, and probably only, contentious interview of the campaign cycle with Bret Baier of Fox News, and, as Walter Kirn put it on America This Week, tried to filibuster every question.

The vice president acted as if having to answer any question that wasn’t completely deferential to her was a serious affront, and that she should certainly not have to answer to anybody for any position she’s ever taken or anything that the Biden-Harris regime has done during her time in office. And how dare any of us expect otherwise?

We are still in the beta episodes here at Never Say Nothing, so I am still looking for feedback of any nature. For this episode I noticed that when I save the file so that I can upload it here to Substack, it’s saving at a much higher volume than the “mix” is playing at within GarageBand, which is the app I’ve been using to record the podcasts. I’m not sure why that is, and I’m planning to record the next episode in Audacity to see if I have more success with that. So if this episode sounds loud, as I think all of the episodes have so far, then just know that I am aware of the issue and am going to try to resolve it. Thanks for listening.

Dana Bash tries to make Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) look like an “election-denier” for not pledging to certify an election before it’s happened, despite the fact that there would be no reason to certify an election if you already knew that you were going to rubber-stamp the election. And that’s actually what the corporate media on behalf of the Kamala Harris campaign wants: A rubber-stamp of whatever they say the outcome of the election is.

Here is the video from CNN.

Barack Obama believes that black men especially owe their vote to Kamala Harris because something something strong black women.

Here is CNN’s reporting regarding the comments from Barack Obama:

“You’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody (in former president Donald Trump) who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down?” Obama said. “That’s not acceptable.”

The problem, he suggested, was less complicated than some are making it out to be – and that it often comes down to sexism.

“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” Obama said. “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

And here is Seymour Hersh’s reporting on how Barack Obama led a cabal of Democratic Party insiders in removing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president.

By Saturday, July 20, former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden. It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas. “The Big Three,” the official said, referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be directly involved. “On Sunday morning,” the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, “Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.” The amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.

“It was clear at this point,” the official said, “that she would get the nod”—that is, the support to run for the presidency in the November election. “But Obama also made it clear,” the official said, “that he was not going to immediately endorse her. But the group had decided that her work as a prosecutor would help her deal with Trump in a debate.”

In this episode I have a new microphone, which should hopefully help with some of the audio quality issues, but I would still be grateful for any feedback whatsoever. I know this episode is somehow even shorter than the last; it turns out podcasting and having things to say is harder than it looks. I expect that as I improve my episodes will get long, and I will have more to say and get more comfortable. Regardless, for now maybe shorter beta episodes are a good thing. Please leave comments with any feedback that you have, or message me directly. Thanks for listening.

Senator Vance’s full interview with Tucker Carlson is below, but the comments I’m specifically referencing start around the 23 minute mark or so.

If you don’t think the United States should get involved in every stupid war in the world, then you’re a Republican. And if you think the United States should send billions of dollars and tons of innocent Americans to die in some foreign country, then you’re going to be a Democrat.

Thank you for listening to the first Beta Episode of the Never Say Nothing podcast, and please leave your feedback in a comment or send me a message directly. Any feedback is appreciated.

At this point, I’m unsure if this will automatically go to your favorite podcast catcher, so that’s part of the beta test period as well.
