Joe Rogan Regular Apologizes for Supporting Trump, Calls for Impeachment

Jun 16, 2025

 

Comedian and frequent Joe Rogan guest Dave Smith has apologized for supporting President Donald Trump, and is now calling for his impeachment. Smith, who hosts libertarian podcast Part of the Problem, said that he felt betrayed by Trump over his policy on Iran. "I supported him ... I apologize for doing so," he said during an appearance on the Breaking Points podcast. "He should be impeached and removed." 

 

Why It Matters

Smith's comments come as Trump supporters criticize his response to recent military escalations in the Middle East. The backlash follows an Israeli airstrike last week targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, triggering a series of missile exchanges between the two nations.  Trump, who campaigned against getting involved in "endless wars," has supported Israel's actions.

...

The comedian is part of a rising wave of Trump-aligned voices turning against the president over the strikes. On Monday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that if the U.S. is pulled into a war with Iran, it could mean the "end" of Trump's presidency—and "the American empire." [emphasis added]

He's losing the part of his base who voted for him based on his campaign promise to end wars.  What's happened instead?  The US is in a two front war in Ukraine and the Middle East as it ramps up to start bombing Iran.  That's not what his base voted for. And his real goal is war with China, but Ukraine and Iran is dragging his administration war-plans away from that front.  The Republicans can kiss Congress good-bye when the mid-terms come. Not that it matters - Dems and Repulicans are opposite sides of the same coin.  And they can kiss the presidency good-bye in 2028, well, until Dictator-In-Chief, King Trump, hasn't put the US under Martial Law due to the World War he created.

Yes there is room for dissent in the House. But Trump, as President of the United States of America and their Commander-in-Chief doesn't brook dissent or disagreement. He sees this as a personal slight against his laws and edicts.

Which supports the assertions that he's gravitating toward dictatorial rule.

Yep, can clearly see a MAGA split over this.

 

 

Top MAGA pollster warns Republicans will lose the majority for ‘the next decade’ if Trump gets involved in Israel-Iran

 

"A top MAGA pollster has warned that the Republicans may lose the majority in Congress “for the next decade” if President Donald Trump gets the U.S. more closely embroiled in the Israel-Iran conflict.

Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris took to X on Monday to argue that “Starting new foreign wars never helps a presidency. But it sure as Hell can end one, especially one predicated on not starting new wars overseas when we've been invaded and neglected at home.”"

 

Big deal. He only has the one term. It's who (or what) prevails in 2028 that really counts. If the American electorate bestows another bloody dunderhead on the free world, then we're all double-buggered

Which in themselves are totally groundless and nothing more than the ruminations of those that still hew to the fallacy that the Democrats, like Baldrick, had a better idea. He didn't and they never had.

 

He won't be allowed to become a dictator.

Thankfully, this is starting to happen. I do have some friends that will come right out and say the man is a butthead, he's an idiot, and he's an absolute clown, but I like some of his policies. Those are the Republicans I admire. 

 

During the 20 years that Clinton, Obama and Biden were in office I was continually critical of their policies. Just look back at some of my posts when Obama and Biden were in power. I was not a big fan of Obama for many of the years that he was president and my posts reflect that. As a centrist democrat I criticized a lot of his policies. So, why are republicans so unwilling to be critical of this guy?

I disagree about this not being a big deal, not only for 2026 but 2028. The MAGA camp has, until now, been completely obedient to Trump but it now seems to emerge that even for the cult there are lines he cannot cross without a push-back from some.

Of course, if he does a TACO and doesn't involve himself further with the war between Israel and Iran, then all is probably forgiven.

And we do know how much he loves himself some fresh TACO!

Lawmakers move to limit Trump's war powers as Israel-Iran war escalates

Washington — Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are looking to limit President Trump's ability to order U.S. strikes on Iran amid its ongoing war with Israel, emphasizing that only Congress has the power to declare war under the Constitution.

 

"This is not our war," Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said in a post on X Tuesday announcing that he had introduced a measure under the 1973 War Powers Resolution to block U.S. strikes. "Even if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution."

MTG, Tucker Carlson urge Trump to stay out of Iran, exposing a MAGA rift

WASHINGTON — The prospect of potential U.S. military action in Iran is facing strong resistance from within the MAGA movement, with some of President Donald Trump's most ardent supporters urging him not join Israel in conducting air strikes.

 

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who sat near Trump in the VIP section at his military parade over the weekend, are among the MAGA stars pressing for the U.S. military to stay out of the fight, which they say is out of step with the movement's principles.

 

 

Greene said in a June 16 social media post that "foreign wars/intervention/regime change put America last, kill innocent people, are making us broke, and will ultimately lead to our destruction."

Trump is emphatic on any possible military intervention:

"I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I'm going to do," Mr. Trump told reporters when he was asked about the U.S. taking part in the strikes on Iran's nuclear and military facilities.

These days there's not a dime's worth of difference between Jackson Hinkle and Tucker Carlson. Both mouthpieces for Iran.

 

They are all flocking together. Now you have Jackson Hinkle, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, and Syrian Girl all backing the Iranian mullahs. Peas in a pod.

MAGA voters overwhelmingly support US strikes on Iranian military: poll

An overwhelming number of self-described “MAGA Republicans” would back US strikes against Iranian military outposts and other infrastructure amid Israel’s military campaign against the theocratic regime, a new poll found.

A whopping 65% of “MAGA Republicans” would back strikes on Iran, compared to a paltry 19% opposed, which even eclipses the support for such military action among more traditional Republicans, according to a J.L. Partners survey shared exclusively with The Post.

By contrast, self-described “traditional” Republicans would back strikes against Iran 51% to 28%. Meanwhile, Republican voters writ large would support the US government launching strikes on Iran by 58% to 25%, with 17% neutral or unsure, per the poll.

Trump promised a peacemaker presidency. What happened?

June 18, 2025
 
"(CNN)  —  It wasn’t a one-off statement from President Donald Trump that he would end wars and bring about world peace during a second White House term. It was a major plank of his presidential campaign.
...
Trump’s openness to using US firepower to help Israel in its offensive against Iran could be interpreted as a complete flip from his repeated promises to be more judicious with American firepower and focus on US interests before everything else.

Trump vowed to be a 'peacemaker' but foreign conflicts only ramping up on his watch

Six months into his second term, conflicts are raging on three fronts.

 

June 19, 2025

...

"Trump vowed speedy ends to the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, two conflicts that broke out in the previous administration that Trump has labeled "Biden's wars." On the campaign trail, he often railed against "endless wars" and mused that he could resolve the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours -- a comment that once in office he walked back as an "exaggeration."

...

"And yet, he has not been successful in even identifying what I would consider to be a potentially effective strategy for managing or let alone resolving them. And therein lies the challenge."

Regardless of MAGA a strong majority of the US public back the Israeli strikes if the deal fell though which it obviously did. Doing the dirty work for the world as Germany said at G7.

 

A MAJORITY BACK AN ISRAELI STRIKE ON IRAN IF TALKS FAIL, AND
74% SAY IRAN GIVING UP NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT SHOULD BE A
PRECONDITION FOR ANY DEAL

Most Trump supporters want to keep US military out of Israel-Iran conflict, poll finds

Findings show public appetite for peaceful approach to aim of forcing Iran to give up ambition of acquiring nuclear arms

 

Wed 18 Jun 2025

...

"The poll published on Wednesday, reported by the foreign policy thinktank Responsible Statecraft, comes as an increasing number of Republican politicians and Trump allies express their opposition to the prospect of the president involving US forces without the approval of Congress.

...

On Wednesday, Tim Burchett, a Republican representative form Tennessee, told CNN he wanted to see “very little” US involvement in the escalating Middle East conflict, which has witnessed Israel and Iran trading missile barrages for several days.

 

“We don’t need another endless war in the Middle East. Old men make decisions and young men die, and that’s the history of war,” he said.

Poll shows most Americans disapprove of US joining Iran war; half see Tehran as ‘enemy’ and another 25% as ‘unfriendly’

18 June 2025

 

...

"Still, most prefer diplomacy over force. A majority (56%) believe the US should engage in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, including 58% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans. This represents a sharp decline in opposition compared to 2015, when 32% of Americans — most notably 52% of Republicans — opposed nuclear talks during the Obama administration, notes YouGov.
