Episode description

H.R. McMaster, the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and author of At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House, joined The Guy Benson Show to assess the implications of Assad's ousting by rebel forces, highlighting how it exposes Iran's waning power following Hezbollah's destruction at the hands of Israel. McMaster explained why increased sanctions on Iran could further stabilize the Middle East and argued that the U.S. should play a strategic role in Syria to prevent the rise of a "worse" regime. He also dismissed Jake Sullivan's claims that Biden's foreign policy has strengthened Israel, pointing out that Israel has only strengthened because of their direct disobedience to Biden foreign policy suggestions. Finally, McMaster evaluated Trump's foreign policy team for his second term, and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
