In a candid conversation on *The War Report*, former Army Sergeant Nicholas Irving revealed that he’s recently contemplated entering the political arena—but not under traditional party lines.
Irving, known for his straightforwardness and patriotism, emphasized he would run as an independent, aiming to represent all Americans rather than align with Republicans, Democrats, or Libertarians.
“I’d fight for everybody,” Irving stated, signaling his commitment to equality beyond conventional frameworks. However, he expressed skepticism about the political system’s readiness for a truth-teller like himself. “If I made it to office, I’d be dead in a week,” he warned, citing entrenched powers resistant to transparency. Irving also stressed that unlike typical politicians, he would be brutally honest with the public, especially about matters of war. While reluctant, he acknowledged a growing itch to serve in a new capacity and clean up the nation’s “swamp,” echoing sentiments that propelled figures like Donald Trump. Though uncertain if America is ready for his brand of leadership, Irving remains a passionate patriot ready to stand for the truth.
Nicholas Irving then weighed in on former President Trump’s visit to Beijing, describing the trip as more about technology and business than addressing the Iran conflict. Despite official narratives suggesting discussions on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, Irving views the summit as a “draw,” noting China’s previous involvement in supporting Iran militarily. He highlights the presence of over 17 tech and business CEOs aboard the accompanying planes, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, underscoring the trip’s commercial focus. Irving argues this delegation signals a priority on trade deals and technological collaboration rather than diplomatic solutions to the ongoing war. He expresses skepticism about the average American benefitting from such high-level business negotiations, suggesting the trip aimed to boost corporate profits more than national interests. Ultimately, Irving frames the visit as a strategic business endeavor rather than a step toward resolving tensions in the Middle East.
