MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER (GUEST): I think that's what the Europeans are starting to realize, is that this is a completely different world that we live in than the one we lived in just a couple of years ago.
JOE ROGAN: Which just doesn't make any sense to me, unless we're acting on someone else's interests, like particularly Israel's interests. It does — just didn't make any sense to me. Like, if they had supposedly dismantled their chances of making a nuclear bomb, whether or not that's true or — I mean, it's so hard to know.

SHELLENBERGER: They, they haven't done a very good job explaining it because I think that it just sounds to some extent like what it is, which is that it's they're acting without, they're sort of like, well, does it result in regime change in Iran? We don't know. They might say that we want that or whatever, but that's not ultimately, they're not, they're not acting on the basis of achieving regime change.
ROGAN: Well, it just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? He ran on no more wars and these stupid senseless wars, and then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it.
