Van Jones: ‘Progressives Underestimate How Dangerous Iran Is; Iran Is Not a Normal Country’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SIDNER: “Van, we‘ve seen this timeline before many times. The the infrastructure bill, health care bill, two weeks has been used over and over again. What do you what do you make of of this use of these two weeks? Because it puts people on edge, right. For, for an extended period of time as they wait for a decision to be made?”

Jones: “Well, I mean, he‘s he‘s buying himself some time and some room. I was also in the holy land very recently. I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country. Normal countries don‘t blind women because they showed some hair. They don‘t empower little gangs and proxies to surround the country and fire rockets and rape people. So Iran, the two things are clear. The what? They cannot have a bomb. And the why? Because they say death to America, death to Israel, and death to all the Jews. One of those should offend you. If you‘re a progressive, at least one should offend you. And so the question, though, is the who and the how is Israel going to take out this nuclear capacity by dropping people there who blow it up? Or is America going to take it out by dropping a bomb that blows it up. But but but but the what and the why are clear. And I think progressives should get on board with that. We cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran.”
