Trump Said No More Wars — Then THIS Happened in Iran

Doctor Chelsea McGee

Welcome back everyone, it’s Dr. Chelsea McGee, and you’re listening to The Real 4-1-1. Okay, let’s just get right to it—remember when Trump promised, over and over, that he’d bring our troops home? “No more endless wars,” he said. “America first.” Well, fast forward to now, and suddenly he’s not just backing Israel’s strikes on Iran, he’s out here threatening Iran directly. And the fallout? Whew. Even some of his most loyal supporters are calling it a betrayal. Dave Smith—yeah, the libertarian comedian, regular on Joe Rogan, big Trump guy—he’s done a complete one eighty. He’s calling for Trump’s impeachment. Listen to what Dave Smith said on the Breaking Points Show. You can’t make this stuff up. Protests are erupting, conservative influencers are turning on each other, and the whole Make America Great Again coalition is looking shaky. So today, I want to connect the dots—how political betrayal leads to public dissent, and what it really means when war becomes a campaign strategy. Because, as always, the story is never just the headline.

So, let’s talk about Dave Smith for a second. If you haven’t seen the clips, he went on Breaking Points and just flat-out apologized for supporting Trump in 2024. He called it a “bad calculation.” His words, not mine. He said, “He should be impeached and removed.” That’s not just a little regret—that’s a full-on public reversal. And he’s not alone. Tucker Carlson, who’s been a Trump defender for years, is warning that if the U.S. escalates in Iran, it could be the end of Trump’s presidency—and, in his words, “the American empire.” That’s a big deal. When you have people like Smith and Carlson breaking ranks, you know something fundamental has shifted.

And honestly, I get it. I’ve been there. I remember a few years back, I was a vocal supporter of a new hospital policy—one that, on paper, was supposed to streamline patient care. But after a few months, I started seeing the real-world harm. Patients falling through the cracks, staff burning out, outcomes getting worse. I had to go public and say, “I was wrong.” It’s humbling. It’s embarrassing. But it’s necessary. That’s what Dave Smith is doing now. He’s seeing the consequences, and he’s owning up to it. That takes guts, even if it’s late.

Now, let’s dig into the heart of the matter—Trump’s foreign policy. He campaigned as the anti-war candidate, right? “I’ll end the forever wars. I’m the candidate of peace.” But now, he’s supporting Israel’s military actions, threatening Iran, and, let’s be real, leaving the door wide open for U.S. involvement. He even posted on Truth Social, “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.” That’s not exactly “bring the troops home” energy.

And then there’s the whole D.C. military parade fiasco. Trump wanted this “menacing” show of force for the Army’s 250th anniversary and his own birthday, but what he got was, well, a bunch of soldiers having a good time, waving, not exactly the iron-fisted image he wanted. He was furious—blamed his defense secretary, called the tone all wrong. Meanwhile, the parade was overshadowed by massive “No Kings” protests across the country. Millions of people out in the streets, pushing back against his immigration agenda and, honestly, his whole approach to power.

And let’s not forget the internal White House drama. Trump’s got a new nickname for Stephen Miller—“Weird Stephen.” Apparently, even his own team is fracturing. And then there’s the case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a student protester who was arrested after voluntarily going to an immigration office. His only “crime” was speaking out. That’s what happens when foreign policy and domestic crackdowns collide—people get caught in the crossfire, literally and figuratively.

The Israel-Iran conflict has done something I haven’t seen in years—it’s split the right. You’ve got “No Kings” protests, anti-Trump demonstrations, and this deepening rift between the old-school GOP hawks and the Make America Great Again isolationists. Some right-wing figures—like Dave Smith, Nick Fuentes, even Candace Owens—are all over the map. Some are defending U.S. and Israeli actions, others are denouncing them, and, let’s be honest, there’s a nasty undercurrent of antisemitism in some of these online spaces. It’s ugly, and it’s real.

I’ve been to my share of protests. I remember standing in the rain outside the state capitol, holding a sign that felt like it weighed a hundred pounds, because I knew I was going against the grain. It’s scary. You worry about your job, your reputation, your safety. But sometimes, you have to do it. You have to stand up, even when it’s unpopular, even when your own “side” turns on you. That’s what we’re seeing now—people willing to break with the mainstream narrative, to say, “No, this isn’t what I signed up for.” That’s how change starts.
