Trump Throws Iran's Plan in the Garbage, NATO Gets Roasted | Ep 689

April 9, 2026·52 min·5 clips

Sean Spicer reveals NATO's first failure was over Greenland, not Iran, exposing a critical security rift.

The argument starts with Greenland. Before Iran comes in, the host says NATO already blinked when Trump pushed to secure Greenland, with China, uranium enrichment, rare earths, and national security all in view. That sets the mood for the rest of the segment. Iran then becomes the next example, with the alliance accused of dodging the threat while still taking credit for financial commitments. The spending pledge does not settle it. One panelist allows that countries may be contributing the 2% GDP mark, then says their strategic worldview still may not be getting any better. That is where the roast lands. Iran is framed as hostile to the West, not just America, and its missiles and nuclear ambitions are treated as a problem Europe may regret ignoring. The timeline is part of the warning. The show says Europe can act like this is not its fight today, but in ten years those weapons could hold the West hostage. Ukraine then gets folded in. The host contrasts Europe's alarm over Russia invading non-NATO Ukraine with its cooler reaction to Iran, which he calls a more direct shared threat. The tone stays firmly pro-Trump. He gives the Ukraine debate some room, then snaps back to his point that NATO asks are being applied unevenly. Diego Garcia is the kicker. When the show says Iran fired a missile at Diego Garcia, the panel treats that range as a warning that France and nearby European targets are closer to danger than the United States. The complaint is blunt. Europe wants American muscle for Ukraine, the host says, but hesitates on airspace and urgency when Iran threatens the broader West. The close shifts into promotion, with upcoming investigations, an FDA warning-letter segment, midterm strategy talk, and a plug for Trump 2.0.

A sharp NATO argument that treats Greenland as the first warning sign and Iran as the second.

The episode treats NATO as a test of whether allies will back Washington, first over Greenland and then over Iran. It argues the Greenland fight came first and should have sounded the alarm: if NATO would not stand with Trump in a peacetime push tied to Greenland, uranium…
