  • The Roots of Iran’s Nuclear Program w/ Mark Dubowitz

    The Roots of Iran’s Nuclear Program w/ Mark Dubowitz
    Jun 16 2025
    Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has long focused on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and advised multiple U.S. administrations on policy toward Iran. I invited him on Conversations with Coleman to explain the Iran nuclear issue at a deep level. We discussed the science of uranium enrichment, the differing Obama, Trump, and Biden policies on containment, and the history of Iran’s nuclear ambitions from the 1979 Revolution to today. Mark laid out the stakes of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran—not just for the United States, but for global stability—and the consequences of getting it wrong. Mark emphasized how the calculation on confronting Iran has changed for Israel since October 7, 2023. While the U.S. has followed a doctrine of de-escalating to de-escalate—favoring diplomacy, economic incentives, and restraint—Israel now believes it must escalate to de-escalate. This conversation was recorded before Israel launched its attack on Iran, striking nuclear facilities, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military bases, missile launchers, and commanders’ residences. It’s now more important than ever to understand the context for the articles and commentary that you’re going to see over the next weeks and months.

I listen to stuff like this to try to understand what makes people to believe in these things where the rich is bad and they should pay for the poor, socialism health, more taxes, bigger government and control, government subsidies, gun control, racism, open borders and list goes on. Just look at facts and not what these politicians just mouth out and that goes for both sides.
I have never worked for a poor man so rich is not bad and it’s a free country and land of opportunities. They are rich because they did something right and they deserve to enjoy the fruit of their labor and don’t owe anyone anything. All the taxes democrats keep raising and say rich to need to pay more never works as they have experts running their books and the billionaire most of the time pays less than the middle class person in taxes because all the loopholes the rich puts in place and has influence on. Wonder why most rich are democrats? Cuz they want to make less and pay more? If you believe that, then god bless you. Social med would ruin the healthcare industry and there is no need for government to get involved in every thing they can get their hands on. When government tell you how much your work is worth no matter if you are better than the other person then why be better when you can do the minimum and get paid the same?
Bigger government mean government control. Look around the world with big powerful government that has their hands in everything. China, North Korea, Russia etc. I wouldn’t want to live in any of those places and most of those people would do anything to live here. And bigger government need more taxes and more layers of corruption and easier to line their own pockets.
These politicians on both sides don’t have million dollar salaries. They are a lot lower than what you probably think. Google them and you will get an idea but why they are all mostly millionaires and the more power and influence they have the more they make? Cuz these big powerful rich companies that everyone wants them to pay more taxes, pay off these politicians millions to pass certain things in their favor so the politicians gets rich and the rich gets richer and the middle class pays for the rich and poor. And if you pay attention a health economy is combination of lots of middle class and rich and low poverty.
Stop listening to all this none sense and look around for facts. Blue states like California, New York, Etc. beautiful cities with lots of rich and even more poor class and very little middle class. The rich gets richer off the middle class and middle class pays for the poor and that’s why the middle class starts becoming poor and the gap between the rich and poor gets bigger and bigger. And when poverty goes up crime goes up as people naturals have to turn to other ways to survive.
Wake up people. Compare the facts and do your research don’t just listen to these rich media as all they care about is themselves. Compare the life style and living of average citizens in a blue and red state. Cost of living, jobs, poverty level, homeless, taxes, crime levels etc.
taking away the guns also will not solve the killings but harsher punishments for crimes and not just getting a slap on the wrist will work. And not blasting how many shootings happened every time you turn the news on will help too. Banding guns mean the good citizen can’t protect themselves as criminal will still get a hold of guns no matter what. Drugs are illegal and I can walk almost to any place and get drugs. Also that goes back to government control as they will have all the guns and the people won’t so what are you going to do if someone is holding a gun to you and says do something? You are going to do it or die and that will happen if only government has the gun. And I’m sure some one is saying well your ak is not going to stop a tank and I know but the number of citizens is always bigger than the military and that makes it somewhat an equal power.
Racism is though. No human in the world is born racist. Put a bunch of 3 year olds from every race and country in a room and I promise they will just play with each other just as they would with any kid with no issue even they might not understand each other. But same as shooting is being constantly talked about so we have more and more shootings, they more they talk about race and categorizing and labeling people, Black Lives Matter, asian lives matter etc. why not all lives matter? Why we have to label ? This is all a way to separate people and keep them fighting each other while they just live it up and hope you don’t notice. Pride week, black history month these are perfect example of separating people as if everyone is equal and one then their should be celebrating for every race and gender or none for all. If we just quit talking about all this gender stuff and racism it will go away on its own and yes it will take a couple generations before that happens but at least it eventually it will or we can keep labeling and separating people even more just like the politicians want. Cuz we the people as one will be a force that will hold them responsible and stop this mass corruption and they don’t want that.
They also need to shut the borders but that how democrats get a lot of their votes so why would they even these illegals become a burden on the citizens directly and indirectly. More taxes as we have to pay for their healthcare, housing, food. And they take a citizens job for lower pay so now Americans either lose their job or the can work for less money if they want to keep their job. Immigration is great for a country as long they are bringing value to the country not a burden. And come legally so we can hold them liable if they commit crimes.
Anyways I’m just just going to quit ranting about all this as I can right a book about all the craziness on both sides but at this time democrats in office are out of this world gone crazy. Hope everyone can come together as one one day and put a stop to all the corruption at its highest levels in every government and the rich.

So far brain washed
