Protocol 50: Trump & Netanyahu, Iran Is Your Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid Moment. Just Go

From Elders of Zionism · 01:05:40

Show by Judah Friedman, Guy Goldstein, Golan Ramraz

This episode of the Elders of Zionism Podcast marks Protocol 50, opening with Judah’s birthday salute to the Marine Corps on its 251st, then Judah, Golan Ramraz, and Sir Brian of London take the table while Guy moderates a debate elsewhere (00:08). Judah and Golan open on the death of the old rule against negotiating with terrorists, from talks with the IRGC abroad to a 2026 directory of 255 Muslim elected officials across 26 states at home (01:35), and Judah raises his doubts about the midterm numbers (03:44). Brian explains how Arab turnout in Israel suddenly doubled and what it meant to watch 19 Knesset members refuse to stand for the national anthem (05:23), then the panel digs into the Netanyahu trial, the exculpatory evidence prosecutors sat on, and the 640 “favorable coverage” articles that turned out not to be favorable (10:47). Golan compares the pressure on the judges to the Derek Chauvin verdict, and Judah calls the whole climate the worst case of mass hysteria the world has seen (12:27). The conversation turns to the claim that Israel cost Republicans the midterms, where Golan reads from the pollster’s own numbers showing only 12 percent of voters named Iran as important (25:18, 40:38). Brian describes what an Iranian ballistic missile sounds like from nine hundred meters away (28:19), Judah revises his view on the Knesset walkout (33:03), and the panel argues over whether a Democratic landslide actually weakens the DSA (39:07). From there they cover why gas prices, not geopolitics, drove the American mood, including a live check that puts Israeli gas near $9.40 a gallon (47:03), what Iran has actually done to American soldiers (44:19), and what Trump might do with his remaining window (50:49). Brian makes the case that Hormuz will be irrelevant within a year and that Israel always stops when it is winning (56:16), and Golan closes on the idea that a lame duck with nothing to lose may be the most dangerous kind (1:00:35).
