@OverReactor1776 @HarmeetKDhillon "But we also cannot win if we believe we can lose.". Too many want the orange to never succeed, that has to be countered with overwhelming we can win

Now that I’m out of government, I can finally respond for myself: Get bent, soyboy. We didn’t do this for “Silicon Valley . . . companies.” We did this for you, for your family, your community, your state, your nation, and your species. Nuclear energy provides the safest, highest density, reliable power available on our planet. My career colleagues at DOE and NRC inspired me to think about nuclear as a way to forge American steel and electrolyze aluminum without releasing particulate matter, to desalinate water in the Middle East and save humanity from resource wars. By rejecting the false narratives and Cold War hysteria, we can secure the next American century while raising whole countries out of poverty. Do you really think I left an incredible career at Kirkland, paid out of pocket for an apartment in DC and dozens of cross-country trips, and left my family on the west coast because I wanted to enrich people I never met before taking this job? I came to D.C. to do something that mattered, to satisfy a driving curiosity (more on that later), and, most importantly, to serve. As I learned more about nuclear energy and its history, I developed a conviction that one nuclear’s biggest issues was a culture of cynicism: nothing new or exciting could happen because it would end in disappointment, and that militated against rocking the boat even a tiny bit. The career staff in government and their industry counterparts lived through dark winters before and stopped believing that warm springs could bloom into summers. I have two core philosophies. First, I believe in ruthless optimism. Rational decision making requires detached risk analysis. But we also cannot win if we believe we can lose. Merging the two requires orienting teams around driving missions. That way, when a real opportunity presents itself, you can take a huge swing. If I take credit for anything—honestly, almost all of the success belongs to the incredible and dedicated people at @ENERGY and @NRCgov—it’s countering the cultural rot and morass that risked forfeiting American excellence. My colleagues and I gave cover to the scientists and engineers, which freed them up to focus on delivering safe power. And, as success materialized, they started to dream again. That’s why the pilot program succeeded, and why I feel confident about the future of NLICs and NRC reform. Nobody needs me anymore because they can innovate on their own. My second core philosophy is to assume positive intent. Avi, I know that you heard about my real motivations from multiple people you interviewed when preparing your hit piece on me. Rather than telling that story, one which could help inspire another generation of people to use their talents for the greater good, you ignored them. Instead, you implied that Peter Thiel recruited me for nefarious purposes. (I’ve never met him, but, @peterthiel, if you’re reading this, I’m a huge fan!) Nuclear regulation starts and ends with safety. I promised everyone I worked with that I would resign before doing or pushing for anything that could compromise public safety. But I also distinguished between real safety and performative bullshit. That’s what the careers came to embrace, too. We love nuclear, why would we do anything that could risk threatening its future? America faces a crossroads. We can either trod a road of cultural decay or hike our way back to the peak of global innovation. Join me on the latter path. Correct the fear mongering and conspiracies and tell the story of America’s great reindustrialization. Tell the story of our public servants, our great entrepreneurs, our scientific dominance. Tell the real story about how DOGE went nuclear.

@Jason @3rdwavemedia Considering the damage done to the IRGC and the underlying threat that the new. 'management' would face the same. Do you still think it a blunder to have started the war. That this is a better time for the people to take back their country

@3rdwavemedia The only way things change in Iran, is if the people of Iran rise up and change it.

We made a huge blunder starting a war we are unwilling to finish Iran now knows we lack the killer instinct, and that the most we will do is drop bunker busters from afar They’re crazier and willing to absorb endless bombing They will drag this fight out for a decade. they will fight to the death, and know we won’t fight past 5% inflation & $4 a gallon gasoline Tough talk means nothing to the leadership of Iran.

@FischerKing64 The get paid for a post incentive will continue to dominate this platform. Elon Bucks are a powerful motivation

Looking forward to the day when the X timeline is overwhelmingly about solving the domestic problems of the United States - which are substantial.

@beatcofee @Osint613 Then the incentive gets complicated. The terrorists don't care about their own lives so turning them into manure will not deter the other terrorists. I suggest a common incentive , follow the money. Will that work to disincentivize terrorist

@dMig29 @Osint613 Oh my God, what will stop a criminal from committing crime? Nothing! Anyone who takes the life of innocent people all in the name of terrorism should become manure. This should be common sense, our civilization is being degraded by those animals and it will stop.

$100B in unfrozen Iranian assets. $300B in Iranian reconstruction funds. $600B in projected Iranian oil and export revenue over the next 10 years. Total potential economic benefit: $1,000,000,000,000. At an exchange rate of 1,570,000 rials per dollar, that equals approximately 1,570,000,000,000,000,000 Iranian rials. (1.57 quintillion rials)

@beatcofee @Osint613 What is the terrorists incentive to stop his terrorism. What would stop someone from performing terrorists acts?

@dMig29 @Osint613 What the heck is incentive to stop terrorism? Are you now justifying terrorism? Is this generation sick or what? Well let me get an incentive for you, the terrorists will become manure for the improvement of crop health and advancement of the human race.

@therealroseanne @DonaldJTrumpJr This is the creation for an Iran that the people can take back. There is no regime change without the people starting it. The US has learned its lesson and will leave the regime change to the people most affected by it

No one wants a forever war. But no one also wants to capitulate to the number 1 sponsor of global terror who just murdered 40 thousand of their own civilians in the streets because they want liberation from that terror. America is either going to fight evil or stay at home and ignore it to appease podcastistanians-you can’t do both. Pick one.

It's hard not to notice that nearly all the people shrieking like psychopaths about my father's peace deal to end the war, opposed him in 2016 and in the 2024 primary. He achieved his goal and destroyed the Iranian nuclear program, but sorry guys, he's not doing an endless war!!!

@Mark_Penn What leaders are you talking about? Do you even know who is in charge? Let's see what the leaders do now that they have seen what happened to their predecessors.

Time will tell Like the eye of any hurricane there is a small window of calm after the initial storm and before the rest of it. Since 1979 when America was paralyzed for a year as Iran held over 50 American hostages, Iran has bedeviled one American president after another while it advances its goals of regional instability and eventual domination. The fight over nuclear weapons is not the main event — that is just a proxy for the war they are waging against us in the West. The President initially broke this pattern of facilitating their advance and their use of proxies funded by their oil in Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza. He destroyed not just the nuclear facilities but much of their armed forces and leadership. The administration was close to ending the regime of terror and reclaiming Iran for the Iranians, Lebanon for the Lebanese and taking Hamas out of Gaza — which would have been historic in nature. Instead a 180 U-turn with a deal to make a deal with a regime that has now been recognized as legitimate after slaughtering tens of thousands of their own people is instead underway and the Iranians are seeking to own the Strait of Hormuz, own Lebanon, rearm Hamas and advance their power rather than retreat. As most military analysts suggest near total victory has been turned into near defeat. And paradoxically the Republicans and the MAGA voters all wanted the president to continue and so from a political point the base has been split and deflated. This is far from over. The Iranians will push to water down each and every point in the MOU as they seek to quickly re-establish their dominance in the region, their cash flow to their terrorist network, and their enhanced control of the global economy. The question is whether we ultimately will let them.

@beatcofee @Osint613 Aren't humans doing the terrorism? Is that the humanity to which you refer? What is the incentive for them to stop the terrorism?

@dMig29 @Osint613 Humanity signed up for eradication of terrorism, not hurting them, and giving them money and time to recover. We didn’t pay higher prices of gas for terrorism financiers and supporters to still be in existence. If trump won’t end terrorism, someone else will and soon.

@SherryLuvsIdaho Post what you believe and stand by. Let your actions determine your well being not some fictitious follower count

Speaking plain truth lost me a few followers recently, and you know what? That's okay. I'm not upset by it. I'm not responsible for the feeling of others. I'm not perfect and I get things wrong. When I do, I apologize. But I'm never going to stop going hard with the truth.

@FOXSports Looks like Harlan's presence may have been a major source of that mistake

Erling Haaland pounced on the mistake to make it 2-1 for Norway 🇳🇴

@amitylee13 @MickInTheIsland Is that an order to remove something from someone's profile? What world do you live in where that is something you attach your name to

@MickInTheIsland Remove the “don’t tread on me” from your pfp. You certainly seem to enjoy the government treading on your wallet.

Taxpayers got stuck with a $14.8 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Days later, algae returned and parts of the new coating are already peeling. Just like every government project: over budget, and under delivered.

@amitylee13 Did you miss the cleaned statues and the working fountains there in DC? They seem to have achieved their goal so your 'every project' claim is suspect

@realsashastone Its a problem for Vance to listen to Carlson? A skilled leader listens to all parties. Give the man some credit

No, the problem is that JD Vance listens to him. That is what will trip them up.

@theobjectivist @tedcruz '...handing billions to theocratic lunatics who want us dead is insane.' weren't those lunatics destroyed and eliminated? Do you think the current leaders are aware that they will meet the same fate?

It is always the same story with these minions. They name the disease and shield the man who caused it. You're right, Senator: handing billions to theocratic lunatics who want us dead is insane. But read your own sentence. Who is doing the handing? It is Trump. He signed the MOU. The text, in writing, commits to a reconstruction plan of at least $300 billion for the regime, unfreezes Iran's assets, waives its oil sanctions, and terminates every sanction we hold, all before the real negotiation even begins. And watch Vance work the shell game. He swears no "taxpayer money" goes to Tehran, because the $300 billion is routed through regional partners and Iran's own unfrozen funds. But the U.S. grants every license and waiver that makes the money flow. We are clearing the path to rebuild a regime we had beaten. The source of the cash does not change the act. So spare us the "poor advice." The advisors didn't sign it. He did. Name him, or admit the warning was theater. You have all literally lost your minds.

I believe President Trump is getting very poor advice on Iran. History teaches a very simple proposition: Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is a very, very bad idea.

@tomselliott The AI summary play back is a nice touch

Reminder: Obama was a terrible president. Democrats pretend otherwise b/c they're compelled by their religion. Anyway if you need a refresher, here are 700+ scandals I catalogued during his administration: lists.grabien.com/list/complete-…

@JenniferSey From where will this reckoning commence? Congress? DOJ? Isn't civil court the only venue for this

There will be a reckoning.

@JuanArnaizrodr1 @Osint613 So, we're not talking about the same thing, you mention EEUU and Israel. The near total destruction of the IRGC must be beyond your notice.

@dMig29 @Osint613 They are the leaders that won the war. Point blank. They won clearly over eeuu and Israel and know Its time to get paid.

@joelpollak Add to that the obvious threat that the leaders were eliminated in the most clandestine way.That will cause them to be constantly looking over their shoulder

I disagree. And not because I like Trump. I think the MOU has to answer some important criticisms, but I also think things have changed — Abraham Accords, destruction of Iran’s military and leadership, Midnight Hammer — and investments aren’t pallets of cash on cargo planes.

@JuanArnaizrodr1 @Osint613 Stronger? In what way? Are the new leaders in control of more or less military equipment? And do you think that the new leaders are not aware that they are the new leaders because the old leaders were eliminated.

@dMig29 @Osint613 Whatever. They are stronger after the war than before, and there is no regime change. They won the war clearly.

@beatcofee @Osint613 Are you forgetting how much damage was done to the IRGC? How long would it take to locate and eliminate the leaders of North Korea

@dMig29 @Osint613 Oh really, I think every American adversaries should start behaving like Iran so that they can get $300bn. Maybe North Korea is next to start, they’ve learnt from the Iranian playbook.
