<v Speaker 3>Anytime now, we'll bring you that live.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Trump is in the Netherlands for the NATO summit, where

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>European leaders have rolled out the red carpet for the

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>US President, and we have a stellar lineup of guests

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.960

<v Speaker 2>Peter Hassen covering all.

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 3>The latest from NATO.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 2>But no matter what is happening around the world, we

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 2>always make time for lefties losing it, and tonight the

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>President had his say on the worst lefty media outlets.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Shean Eda scums, he has scum.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 5>The New York Times has scme.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 2>They're bad people, They're sick, As I said, Donald Trump

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>will be speaking shortly from.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 3>The NATO summit in the Netherlands. We did hear from

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 3>the President.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Earlier today, just a few hours ago, with NATO Secretary

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>General Mark Rutter and the Secretary General had nothing but

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>praise for the President.

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 6>I just want to recognis you were the stage affection.

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>You were a man of strength, which you're also a

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>man of peace, and the fact that you were an

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>old also successful in getting this sase fire done between

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Israel and Iram. I really want to.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 7>Command you for that.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Now, NATO countries are expected to endorse higher defense spending,

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>with a goal of five percent of GDP being devoted

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to defense.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 8>I've been asking them to go up to five percent

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 8>for a number of years, and they're going up to

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 8>five percent from two percent, and a lot of people

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 8>don't even prepare the two percent. So I think it's

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 8>going to be a very big news. NATO is going

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 8>to become very strong with us.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's bring in Newsweek's senior editor at Large and Article

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>three senior Project Council Josh Hamma. Josh, it looks like

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the red carpet has been rolled out for the president.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>We're not hearing any more nonsense about the President being

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>a threat to NATO. He only ever wanted the NATO

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>partners to pull their weight and spend more on defense,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're agreeing to do that.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, read A.

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 9>It's hard from my perspective to night distance or it's

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 9>hard to separate this red carpet rollout that the President

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 9>is currently receiving over in the Hague. It's hard to

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 9>distance that from Operation Midnight Hammer in a riot. And

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 9>I'll explain that for the following reason, which is that

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 9>that was an unmitigated reminder I think Tonido, to the

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 9>Western World, to the free World, whatever verbia you would like,

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 9>it was an unmitigated reminder that America is still here.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 9>America is still here in America still means business on

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 9>the world stage, and America is still going to assert

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 9>its priorities in xyz ways there. To me, these two

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 9>things are actually directly related. I mean, think back to

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 9>Jdvan's speech at the Muniing Security Conference back back in February.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 9>There the Europeans were not particularly pleased with a lot

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 9>of what JD.

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 6>Evans had to say.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 9>You can you compare and contrast that back in February

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 9>to this red carpet now with the NATO summit now there,

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 9>it seems to me like the Europeans and NATO at

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 9>large are starting to wake up and remember that America

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 9>is still the big, the big elephant in the room.

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 9>But to your point, yes, it's really not a particularly

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 9>big ask, is it that these countries contribute to their

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 9>own national defense? That is the basic MAGA America first

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 9>nationalist realist perspective. As a geopolitics and form relations in general,

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 9>Donald Trump does not want these various independent nations, let

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 9>alone the European Union, as a collective block. He doesn't

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 9>want them to be far flung American provinces or satrapy

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 9>of the global American Empire. He wants them to be free,

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 9>independent and flourishing nation states. And the only way that

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 9>they can do that is if they contribute efficiently to

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 9>their own self defense. The final thing they'll say is

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 9>that this is all kind of part of a long

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 9>term plan for the United States to ideally shift its

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 9>resources to the Indo Pacific, which is a long time

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.239
<v Speaker 9>in the making there to deal with our number one threat,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 9>the Chinese Communist Party. The goal here is to try

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 9>to build up the European powers to take care of

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 9>their own backyard, namely lamer Putin and the Kremlin.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Now, Josh, we also heard from Marco Rubio earlier today,

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>and he is none too happy with some anonymous deep

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>state hack trying to undermine what Operation Midnight Hammer achieved.

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 10>Now, anything in the world can be rebuilt, but now

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 10>we know where it is and they try to rebuild it,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 10>we'll have options there as well. But all this leaker stuff,

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 10>these leakers are professional stabbers, that's what they are. They

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 10>go out and they read this stuff and then they

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 10>tell you what it says against the law, but they characterize.

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 5>It for you in a way that absolutely faults.

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 10>There's no way Iran comes to the table of somehow

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 10>nothing had happened. This was complete and total obliteration.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Josh, what of this report that claims that Iran's nuclear

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.799
<v Speaker 2>program has only suffered a minor setback.

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 9>So it's worth noting, Rita that the reporter who first

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 9>got this scoop from this leaker, Natasha Bertrand, is the

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 9>same reporter who was first responsible for trying to dismiss

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 9>the Hunter Biden laptop back in October of twenty twenty

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.239
<v Speaker 9>as so called Russian disinformation. So that should be a first, major,

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 9>major gargantuan red flag is that the original source of

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 9>this leaker is not a particularly trustworthy source. To put

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 9>a mildly there, but I think what's happening here at

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 9>Rita is you have a lot of people in the

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 9>deep state of the intelligence community in the United States

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 9>that are not merely probably sympathetic towards the Irani regime,

0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 9>are not merely hostile and opposed to America's ally Israel.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 9>They're probably opposed to the United States itself. They're definitely

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 9>opposed a lot of these deep state bureaucrats and the intelligenmuis.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 9>They're definitely opposed to President Donald J.

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 6>Trump.

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 9>So if you're trying to undermine and throw Donald J.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 9>Trump under the bus, what is the easiest way to

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 9>do so, other than to dismiss this spectacular military operation

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 9>and say that immlily just set it back by a

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.919
<v Speaker 9>few months. Now, the Israeli is what it's worth. My

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 9>understanding is that their intelligence is that the Iranian nucer

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 9>program was set back at least by multiple years. Maybe

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 9>it was not literally obliterated for here and there in

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 9>all time. But here's what I'll say Ria, for the

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 9>United States, the Iranians are obviously a major threat for Israel.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 9>It's an existential threat. So if Israel was willing to

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 9>agree to the ceasefire, which they were. That says a lot.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 9>That means they were very satisfied with with what actually

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 9>happened on Midnight Hammer.

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, Josh, let's hear from Donald Trump's Special envoy to

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.239
<v Speaker 2>the Middle A Stave Witkough. He spoke to Fox News

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.799
<v Speaker 2>earlier today about a possible new deal with Iran.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 11>We're already talking to each other, not just directly but

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 11>also through interlock you tours. I think that the conversations

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 11>are promising. We're hopeful that we can have a long

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 11>term peace agreement that raise that resurrecs Iran, that brings

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 11>it into the League of Nations.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Josh, is that realistic?

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Could we have a long term piece still on the table,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>one that the Iranians will actually abide by?

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 9>Red I've been critical at times of Steve Wikoff. I'm

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 9>not entirely sure that he is that he is sober enough. Frankly,

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 9>when it comes to some of the actors that he

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 9>is sitting down at the negotiating table with and the Iranians,

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 9>that the Mullahs are are probably the number one example

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 9>of that. I mean, this is one of the greatest

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 9>problems going back two and a half, three, maybe even

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 9>four decades is that these people are the most sniveling, lying, Yeah,

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 9>the biggest wires and the things of the earth. Frankly,

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 9>for lack of bear description there, I mean, you simply

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 9>cannot trust them to abide by anything remotely resembled the

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 9>words that are written on a piece of paper. This

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 9>is one of the myriad flaws of Barack Obama's JCPOA

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 9>nuclear deal back in twenty fifteen. Is one of the

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 9>reasons why I was skeptical of these repeated rounds of

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 9>American diplomacy earlier on in this second administration.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 6>There is that you simply cannot trust.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 9>These people, which, by the way, also raised the question

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 9>as to how you can expect them to abide by

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 9>the actual ceasefire. Thus far, it seems like it's actually

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 9>going very well in the very very very early stages here,

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 9>so God willing that will hold there. But color me

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 9>profoundly skeptical that this current regime, with this current leadership

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 9>can be brought into the League of Nations, the Western

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 9>panoply there. Look, I would love nothing less, I would

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 9>love to be proven wrong there. I just simply do

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 9>not see it happening. It's just not in the nature

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 9>of who these people are. It's simply, it simply defies

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 9>human nature and human reality.

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, staying with NATO, the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, he's

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.959
<v Speaker 2>arrived at the summit and interestingly he's wearing a suit, Josha,

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>But I think he wants to annoy President Trump again.

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 2>But on a more serious note, the end of the

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Russian Ukraine will must be a top priority for the

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 2>President at this meeting.

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 9>Oh, I think it's a number one priority. I think

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 9>it is easily his top priority at this current meeting. There,

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 9>Donald Donald Trump campaigned over and over and over again

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 9>on getting a diplomatic off ramp, on getting a ceasefire

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 9>to the Russia Ukraine War, a war that has gone

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 9>on for way too long. You know, the media reports

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 9>incessantly about the various conflicts in the Middle East. All

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 9>the wars in the Middle East combined over the past

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 9>three three and a half years pale in comparison, frankly,

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 9>to the carnage and the death toll there in Eastern Europe.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 6>This has been a horrific, brutal war.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 9>The country of Ukraine has been set back by at

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 9>least a half century, if not more. Talking about all

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 9>the young men and women who have been killed, people

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 9>who have fled. It's just awful. It's absolutely awful, and

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 9>ultimately for what gain. I still kind of sometimes struggle

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 9>to answer that question to myself there. So this is

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 9>an absolute pressing priority for President Donald Trump. I'm inclined

0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 9>to think based on what we were just saying about

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 9>this new REDI carpet treatment, this new agreement by some

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 9>of the European powers to vow to raise their defense

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 9>panding to five percent of GDP, I'm optimistic that maybe,

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 9>just maybe the European powers are willing to play ball

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 9>here and try to convince both Zolenski and Putin to

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 9>get and sit down at the negotiating table. Look, for

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 9>a while, Rita, I thought that there was more pressure

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 9>that was needed on Zelenski there. At this point, I

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 9>think that probably more pressure is currently need on Putin

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 9>because the Russians have not slowed down at all. People

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 9>are dying in Key of Ukraine on a basically nightly

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 9>basis there. So we'll see, I mean, Trump's gonna have

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.479
<v Speaker 9>to be a little tougher.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 6>At the moment on Putin. Let's see what kind of

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 6>sanctions are in the works there.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 9>But he's gonna do everything he can to try and

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 9>get a peace deal that I know for sure.

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 2>Now, just quickly to other news, we had the Democratic

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Socialist Zoran Mandani. He declared victory today in the New

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>York City Democratic mayoral primary.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 3>An astonishing development, Josh.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 2>This man is a radicol and given the demographics of

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>New York City, is likely to be the next mayor.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 9>What a catastrophe, you know, I was. I was born

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 9>and raised in the New York suburbs. I still have

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 9>a lot of family. Most of my family is still

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 9>there in the broader New York City area. I mean,

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 9>what an unmitigated catastrophe to to have a young thirty

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 9>something year old socialist, a defund the police, defund ice

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 9>kind of craze, far left, pseudo Marxist lunatic. I mean,

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 9>what could possibly go wrong? I mean, New York City

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 9>is still, in theory the beacon of American power when

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 9>it comes to finance and technology and trade and this

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 9>and that there. Look, I would expect a lot of industry,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 9>of banks, maybe even stock exchanges to start making a

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 9>slow egress and exit out of New York in the

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.479
<v Speaker 9>years to come, and this is actually the way that

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 9>that New Yorkers want to ultimately control their own sovereignty

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 9>and the destiny of this. If this is what they

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 9>want to do, then I think that that capital and

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 9>business will respond in cond The one thing that I

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 9>will add readA as a Floridian is that you know,

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 9>I've Florida's close. I'm I'm not sure how many of

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 9>these I'm not sure how many more of these flee

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 9>New Yorkers. How we want to come down here to

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 9>the Sunshine State. But you know, look joking aside there,

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 9>I genuinely do expect that there will be pretty severe

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 9>repercussions and ravocations when it comes to business and capital

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 9>trying to flee New York. It is an unmitigate catastrop

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 9>for New York City.

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, I think property prices in places like Tennessee

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and Texas.

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 3>And Florida are going to skyrocket.

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 2>We've already got any flux of New Yorkers going into

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>those states, and I think that's going to increase. But

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>just on this particular character, he appears to have a

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>bit of the Kamalas about him.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Have a listened to this.

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 7>On the subject of trust, You've adopted different speaking accents

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 7>in different scenarios, but.

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 5>They go to their local bodega.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Is there one that's real and one that's affected?

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 12>What I would say is, as any immigrant knows, having

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 12>been born in Kampala, Uganda and then raised in South

0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 12>Africa and moving here when I'm seven years old, is

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 12>there different parts of my life? World?

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 5>I Joy is a world way, Joy is a world

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 5>wad 'mon done?

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 11>He was talking about a worldwide press tour back when

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 11>he was.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 3>A rapper fish in a Disney movie directed by his

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 3>mother clot Nepotism and hard work goes a long way, Josh,

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I am lost for words. What can you say?

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>New York Because they keep voting for this, you can

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 2>hardly feel sorry for them. They keep voting for these

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>types of characters. Josh, Amma, thank you so much for

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>your time. Let's bring in Peter Hassen. Now he's the

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Washington Free Beacon editor. Peter Donald Trump's going to be

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 2>speaking soon at NATO, but we've heard from him earlier today,

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>and we also heard from the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutta,

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and he's been full of praise for the President. He

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>wrote a text President Trump saying Donald, you have driven

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>us to a really really important moment for America and

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Europe and the world. You will achieve something no American

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>president in decades could get done.

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:14.959
<v Speaker 3>This is all very.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Different, Peta, to the sort of atmosphere that greater Donald

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump during his first term when he really didn't get

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>a warm reception at NATO.

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, I think that goes to one of

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 13>the clear differences between Trump's first term and his second

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 13>term is that Trump's first term was treated as a

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 13>joke or an aberration by you know, elites, not just

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 13>in the US but all over the world.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 5>That's something that they shouldn't have to take seriously.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 13>Whereas now Donald Trump's second term, it's very clear that

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 13>he's here to stay. The MAGA movement is here to stay,

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 13>and it's something to be taken seriously. And he is,

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 13>you know, here's someone who keeps tabs on how people

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 13>treat him and how people treat the country, and so

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 13>I think he expects a certain amount of respect for

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 13>world leaders.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 5>I think they're finally starting to catch up.

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think that's something our Prime minister has found

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 2>out the hard way. He and some of his senior

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>ministers have said some uncomplimentary things about the President in

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the past, and guess what our Prime minister hasn't been

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 2>able to secure what on one meeting with the President

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 2>thus far. So this is I think, yes, something to

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>remember that he has a very long memory. Now here

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 2>is praise for the President from an unlikely source, former

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Biden National Security Council Coordinator for the Middle East, Brett McGirk.

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 3>He had this to say on CNN.

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 6>Look, bottom line, this is about the best place we

0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 6>can be.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 14>I give extremely high marks to this national security team

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 14>and President Trump for managing this crisis and given where

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 14>we are.

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 5>But now let's follow through. There's a chance for diplomacy.

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Here and Peter, while there are Democrats who are pushing

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to impage Donald Trump for these strikes against Iran's nuclear sides,

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>there were one hundred and twenty eight Democrats which joined

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans to block a bit bid to impeach the president.

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 2>We only had seventy nine Democrats voting to proceed with

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>an impeachment vote.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 3>What does that tell you, Peter?

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 13>That tells me that the Democratic leadership is is fully

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 13>aware of how out of touch the progressive base that

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 13>has gotten with the rest of the country.

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean to even float an impeachment for that is

0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 5>wildly out of bouts.

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 13>When you have Nancy Pelosi is saying it's not something

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 13>to be taken seriously, and Nancy Pelosi is the last

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 13>person that anybody is going to accuse of being too

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 13>soft on Trump. When you have heard saying that this

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 13>is a step too far, that really tells you all

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 13>you need to know. But at the same time, you

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 13>know that is kind of a sign of where their

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 13>party is going in the long term. Is the AOC

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 13>wing of the party and I think we saw that

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 13>with so Ron Mondannie's win in the primary last night.

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 13>It's as clear of a sign as it is that,

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 13>you know, as out of step as the progressive wing

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 13>may be, that is the direction that the party's voters

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 13>wants them to go.

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Peter Hasson, thank you so much for your time, and

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>we're just gonna go to a quick break because we

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 2>expect to hear from Donald Trump on the other side.

0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you in a couple of minutes.

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 2>You're watching the Rider Panny Show, and it's time for

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>lefties losing it and they've done it now.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Daddy's mad.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 2>It's bad enough that the president has to deal with

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>lefties losing it on networks like CNN and MSNBC, networks

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 2>pumping out Li's hysteriaan Hate twenty four to seven.

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 3>But the Commander in Chief was also fed up.

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 2>With an ally and FO failing to live up to

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>eight piece still and they all copped it, starting with

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the lefty media outlets.

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 5>You know what they're doing.

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 12>They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives in

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 12>the line. CNN is scum and so is MSDNC. They're

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 12>all and frankly, the networks aren't much better. It's all fakeders.

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 12>But they should not have done that. Those pilots hit

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 12>their targets. Those targets were obliterated, and the pilots should

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 12>be given credit. Then not after the pilots are after me.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 12>They want to try and to meet you. I think

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 12>CNN or to apologize to the pilots, the v twos.

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.160
<v Speaker 12>I think that MSD and co to apologize. I think

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 12>these guys really, these networks are these cable networks are

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 12>real losers? You really are? You're realizing.

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Your real losers?

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes you are, CNN and MSNBC. Or was he

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 2>calling them MSN DC. Well, frankly, he was just warming

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 2>up gutless losers.

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 12>I say that to CNN because I watch it. I

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 12>have no choice. I gotta watch that garbage. It's all garbage,

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 12>it's all fake news. But I think CNN is a

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 12>gutless group of people and the people that run it.

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 12>Nobody even knows. It's been sold so many times, but

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 12>the people that run it out to be a shame.

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 12>MSD and C again named Brian Roberts. He heads it.

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 12>He's a disgrace. He's a weak, pathetic disgrace.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Just fantastic stuff and well deserved. I'll show you shortly

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 2>what inspired that spray. But the President was not done yet.

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.080
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have a look at one of the

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>greatest moments in Donald Trump's presidency thus far, a moment

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 2>that will go down in history. And this moment is

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>significant for a number of reasons. The substance of his comments,

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the manner in which it was delivered, and the confidence

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 2>is inspired.

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 3>This is a leader, not a politician.

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 15>Do you believe that a run We need to see it.

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:22.199
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I do.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 12>They violated it, but Israel violated it too. Israel. As

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 12>soon as we made the deal, they came out and

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 12>they dropped the load of Bob's the likes of which

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 12>I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 12>I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 12>now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.399
<v Speaker 12>the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:43.880
<v Speaker 4>So I'm not.

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 12>Happy with them. I'm not happy with the Ron either,

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 12>But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 12>because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 12>perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that.

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 12>You know what we have to basically have two countries

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.120
<v Speaker 12>that have been fighting so long and so hard that

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 12>they don't know what they're doing. Do you understand that.

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Outstanding outstanding, and that sent a message. There was no

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>forceful retaliation by Israel and none further by Iran for now,

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and folks from both sides.

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Of the political divide appreciated.

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 2>The honesty, the transparency of the moment, but not this

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 2>blow hard. Let's hear from possibly the dumbest man on

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>British radio, James O'Brien.

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>The aftermath of an attack upon nuclear facilities and Keith

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>did my ears deceive me? I think what's clear is

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump doesn't know what the bleep is going?

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 15>All right?

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Can we agree on that?

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 2>No, we can't agree on that, you contemptible simpleton, just

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 2>like we don't agree on this defamatory set of lies

0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>about the president. Perhaps it will sue LBC fe like

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.400
<v Speaker 2>he did ABC. That cost ABC a pretty penny, Yes

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 2>he did. How much might this little rand cost James

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 2>O'Brien's employer.

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 1>But as it is, it's the self confessed sex offender

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 1>who you're cheering for his attitude towards transgender women. It's

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a self confessed sex offender, the guy who boasts about

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>grabbing women by their genitals.

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Did he say he grabbed them without their consent?

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Pretty sure he didn't say that, James. But let's get

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 2>back to what had the president ropeable in the past

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours, And it was reporting like this.

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Here is CNN.

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Reporting as gospel leaked to them by some desperate, hacked

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and anonymous low level loser from the Deep State, if

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I may quote the Press secretary.

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.479
<v Speaker 14>There essentially looking at the images and looking at what

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.360
<v Speaker 14>was actually damaged. The Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 14>the components of Iran's nuclear program are largely intact, and

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 14>that Iron's nuclear program has essentially only been set back

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 14>by months.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Jan just months nuclear sides bomb to Smitherines just

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 2>set back a few months. Here is how dishonest CNN

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 2>can be had their only objective is to damage Donald Trump.

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's have a look at this.

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Presenter, Aaron Burnett, first claiming last week that there was

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 2>no need to bomb Iran's nuclear sides because there were

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>years away from developing a weapon, if indeed Iran even

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 2>wanted a weapon.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 7>This timeline of Iran being a few weeks away from

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 7>a nuclear bomb is in direct contradiction to CNN's reporting.

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 7>According to US intelligence assessments, Iran is three years away

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.639
<v Speaker 7>from being able to produce a nuclear weapon if they

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 7>wanted to. So the facts on Iran getting a nuclear

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.880
<v Speaker 7>weapon do not bear out the claim at the heart

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 7>of what has put the world on the verge of

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 7>World war World.

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 3>War hyperboly much.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Here is the same activist journalists less than a week

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 2>later saying the American strikes only put back Iran's nuclear

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 2>weapon ambitions by a matter of months.

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.959
<v Speaker 7>Only set back the Iranian nuclear program by months.

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 3>We got to call it like it is. It's a

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 3>big deal, unbelievable.

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 2>And here is sin in Aaron Burnett again claiming that

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 2>those chanting death to America in.

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Iran are actually really friendly.

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, perhaps they're friendly to her because she's the very

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 2>definition of a useful idiot.

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 7>They're chanting death to America all around me, even as

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 7>I say, oh, I'm an American reporting for CNN, and

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 7>they were happy to speak to me. So those two

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 7>sort of jarring realities of the chant and yet the

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 7>friendliness have existed together, Nawanda.

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump gave them made outlets another big serve earlier

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 2>today during this press conference at the Hague.

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 1>You had some great reporters, but you have scum.

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 4>CNN is scum, MSDS is scum. The New York Times

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 4>is scum. They're bad people, They're sick. And what they've

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:22.159
<v Speaker 4>done is they're trying to make this unbelievable victory into

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 4>something worse.

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And we will be crossing to the NATO summit shortly

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:28.959
<v Speaker 2>to hear from President Trump.

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 3>That press conference has.

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Been delayed because the President is having a private meeting

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.479
<v Speaker 2>with the Ukrainian leader, President Zelenski, and as soon as

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that press conference is underway, we will be crossing life

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>to it.

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 3>But joining me now.

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Is the president of the Center of the American Experiment,

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 2>John Heindereiker.

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.200
<v Speaker 3>John, you don't hear straight.

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Talk like that from a politician too often. What was

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 2>your reaction when you heard that raw commentary on Iran

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and Israel break the ceasepy do, Rita?

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 16>We've all gotten used to this. There's never been a

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 16>president in our history and very few political leaders who

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 16>who talk like that. But we're used to it now

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 16>and it doesn't shock us anymore. And frankly, it's hard

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 16>not to agree with the substance of what Trump said.

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 16>He's done a wonderful job here. He's devastated Iran's nuclear program,

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 16>which was a serious threat to US as well as

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:28.400
<v Speaker 16>to Israel and others. He's brought about a ceasefire now

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 16>between Israel and Iran, and the left can't stand it,

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 16>you know, they hate success, and so this is what

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 16>Trump gets so irate about.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 3>And what do you make.

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Of the claims that these strikes did little to hurt

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons? Do you put any

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>credibility to those claims?

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:53.040
<v Speaker 12>None?

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 16>Rita A big problem we have in American government is

0:26:56.680 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 16>that when we have a Republican president, Democrats the bureaucracy

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 16>will continually leak things that they think are damaging to

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.679
<v Speaker 16>the president. Now they might be true, they might be

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:11.119
<v Speaker 16>completely false, but the media treats it like gospel, you know,

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 16>because it's a leak, that means it must be true.

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 16>And that's what's going on here. Somebody somewhere in the

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 16>Intelligence Committee leaked a claim that, well, maybe there wasn't

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.399
<v Speaker 16>so much damage after all, but we really don't know.

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 16>I think it's blindingly obvious. You drop those bunker busting bombs,

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 16>you drop thirty Tomahawk missiles on Iran. We've all seen

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 16>the photographs of what these areas look like. The damage

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 16>that was done was absolutely enormous. And I think Trump

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 16>is right to be angry at these news outlets and

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 16>this leaker on behalf of the pilots and the military

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.120
<v Speaker 16>people who carried out the attack.

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:55.439
<v Speaker 2>And he really does seem to be genuinely angry about

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 2>this one. I mean, he has all sorts of lies.

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 2>In Hyssyrian high herbally said about his administration on a

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 2>daily basis, But I've seldom seen him John take something

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>so personally and so personally on behalf of those involved

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 2>in this operation.

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, that's exactly right, reader. I would add one more thing.

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 16>You know, some of the Democrats in Congress are complaining

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 16>that Trump didn't give them any advance notice about the attack.

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 16>Why didn't you tell Congress before? And Well, the answer

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 16>is if he had done that, the Democrats in Congress

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 16>would have leaked it. They would have destroyed the secrecy

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 16>of the attack. That's the state of politics at America.

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Reader, Well, yeah, the element of surprise would have been lost,

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 2>but I have no doubt that some Democrats would have

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>leaked it. Now we've seen Joe Biden's National Secretary Council

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Coordinator for the Middle East, Brett McGirk, praise the president's

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>decisive action against Iran, but there hasn't been any such

0:28:57.080 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>praise from Biden's Secretary of State and Anthony Blincoln.

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 3>He's condemned the.

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, who wrote a piece for

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times and he said the strikes on

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>three of Iran's nuclear facilities by the United States was

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 2>unwise and unnecessary. What do you make of that criticism?

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:23.719
<v Speaker 2>John Blinken is not happy with the President for tearing

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 2>up the nuclear deal with Iran.

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 16>Well, Anthony Blinkett is a hardcore Democratic Party partisan. He's

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 16>the guy who organized the fifty one former intelligence officials

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 16>commonly referred to as the Dirty fifty one to lie

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 16>about Hunter Biden's laptop and the information it contained about

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 16>Joe Biden. They knew it was genuine, but to help

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 16>Joe Biden get elected, they organized this effort to lie

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 16>about it. And Anthony Blinken is the number one guy

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 16>who did that. So nothing that he says should be

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 16>taken seriously. You know that Obama Plan, I think almost

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 16>everyone agrees now it was a joke. He gave Iran

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 16>billions of dollars, they signed a piece of paper, and

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 16>they kept on working on enriching uranium. The UN Agency

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 16>said over and over again, they're cheating. They're not disclosing

0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 16>that the Obama Joint Plan of Action was a fiasco,

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 16>and I think almost everyone realizes that.

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Now, Let's have a look at some polling on how

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Americans feel about this issue, about how they feel on

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Iran having nuclear weapons. Let's listen to san An's polling

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 2>expert Harry.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 15>Enton, there's more support for Donald Trump's positions than is

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 15>comically acknowledged opposer Iran getting a nuclear weapon. I mean,

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.240
<v Speaker 15>look at this, seventy nine percent of adults agree on

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 15>that they agree with Donald Trump and Ron cannot get

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 15>a nuclear weapon, eighty three percent of Republicans, seventy nine

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 15>percent of Independence, seventy nine percent of Democrats. When you

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 15>get seventy nine percent of Democrats and eighty three percent

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 15>of Republicans agreeing on anything, you know that that position

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 15>is the very clear majority in this country.

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that is surprising that you've got almost identical numbers

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:11.040
<v Speaker 2>across the board. That rarely happens on any issue.

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 16>John, It almost never happens, Rita. We're so divided in America.

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 16>But what it shows is that people realize this is

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 16>a major national security issue. We don't want to get

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 16>hit with a nuclear bomb by Iran. And I mean,

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 16>there's not a big minority on that issue. I see

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 16>other polling Rita that people who identify themselves as MAGA Republicans,

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 16>which is Trump's real base, over ninety percent support the

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 16>action that he's taken here in Iran. The idea that

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 16>there's a big division and the American people over this.

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 16>It just isn't true.

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, as for the strikes against Iran, we do know

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 2>there are many Republicans unhappy about the US's involvement. But

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 2>though they are loud and some of them are very influential,

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 2>there minority in the Republican Party.

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 15>There's this idea. Okay, maybe the MAGA base wouldn't necessarily

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 15>like this. Look, this is Donald Trump's Republican Party. That's

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 15>why I think is so important to note GOP on

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 15>the US air strikes in a run, seventy six percent

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 15>in the average of the two Poles approved, compared to

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 15>just eighteen percent who disapproved. Now, well, note that is

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 15>a bit higher than Donald Trump's disapprove a rating within

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 15>the Republican Party. But overall Republicans are with Donald Trump

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 15>on this.

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 3>John Harry is right there.

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>This is now Donald Trump's Republican Party, and the base

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 2>will go with him, even if they're a little bit

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable about the direction he's varying.

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 17>It.

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 16>As long as things go, well, he's not going to

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 16>lose any of that support. I don't think there's any

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 16>prospect of US ground troops in Iran. I don't think

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 16>there's any prospect of this somehow going bad, sort of

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 16>like a rock did in two thousand and six. And

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.959
<v Speaker 16>as long as things continue to go well, he's going

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 16>to have overwhelming support from American people, and especially overwhelming

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 16>support from the Republican Party.

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 2>How how is he going domestically. We have spent so

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 2>much time looking at how he's performing in foreign affairs,

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>But on those Corey shoes that he won the election on.

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 2>There were the cultural war issues, there was the immigration

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 2>crisis and inflation.

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Is he on top of those issues? I think he is.

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 16>Reading Number one, He pledged to close the border. The

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 16>Democrats said, oh no, it can't be done. When he

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 16>closed the border, in a matter of weeks, illegal immigration

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 16>has stopped. I mean it's come to virtually zero, and

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 16>now they're carrying out deportations starting with the most dangerous

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 16>criminal illegal aliens. He's got broad support for those actions

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 16>throughout the American public. I think one thing that's important

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 16>to keep our eye on is the so called Big

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 16>Beautiful Bill, this massive spending bill that extends the tag

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 16>cuts from Trump's first term that otherwise are going to

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 16>expire at the end of the year. That has passed

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 16>the House. It's working its way through the Senate in

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:12.319
<v Speaker 16>slightly different form. We're told the Senate is probably going

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 16>to pass it by July fourth, and if they do

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 16>and it gets signed into law, this is going to

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 16>be the big win domestically of Donald Trump's first year.

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 3>John Heinerecher, It's always a pleasure.

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for your time tonight, and don't

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere after the break. Anthony Albanize is said to

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 2>meet with Gijiping again for the fourth time, and yet

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 2>he can't get that one on one meeting with President Trump.

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:43.399
<v Speaker 3>And we will hopefully be crossing to.

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 2>The President in the Netherlands as he speaks to the press.

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back. We are still waiting to hear from the President,

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 2>waiting with the rest of the wor world with baited breath, tour.

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Here from President Trump.

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:07.239
<v Speaker 2>He is at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, and

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 2>we will cross to the summit as soon as that

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 2>press conference is underway. But joining me now is international

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 2>security expert and professor of political science at Northeastern University,

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Max Abrams.

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Max, welcome back to the program.

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get your reaction to Donald Trump's comments

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>earlier today regarding the success of the Iranian strike. He

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 2>refuted very strongly these claims that Operation Midnight Hammer did

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>little to damage Iran's nuclear ambitions.

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:42.399
<v Speaker 13>Yeah.

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 17>Well, there are two different views on this. I certainly

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:50.319
<v Speaker 17>am of the opinion that both the Americans and has

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:56.720
<v Speaker 17>realized did substantial damage to Iran's nuclear program. That seems

0:35:56.760 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 17>to be the possession of Israeli intelligence. The Americans. Also,

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 17>the head of the IAEA has said that there's been

0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 17>significant damage. Plus, I just trust the science. I mean,

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:19.720
<v Speaker 17>you drop fourteen of those massive bunker busters. We've seen

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 17>in the photographic imagery that the hits were directly on target.

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 17>Now you can't see, you know, a huge blast, but

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 17>that's because the bombs actually penetrate through the mountain, and

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 17>I suspect that they're increasingly we're going to get confirmation

0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 17>that whatever was underneath or nearby those bombs was taken out. Trump,

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.759
<v Speaker 17>of course, has a lot of haters, and he is

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:57.200
<v Speaker 17>haters even within his own administration. This story has been

0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 17>pumped out by CNN and The New York Times despite

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 17>the science, actually the nuclear weapons program remains intact. As

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 17>an empiricist, I'll continue to watch wherever the evidence leads,

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 17>but at this point I think that Donald Trump is

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 17>most likely correct.

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 2>It's been amusing to watch CNN, in particular, I played

0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 2>some clips earlier in the program where the same reporter

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:29.439
<v Speaker 2>last week is claiming the Iranians are years away from

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 2>any sort of nuclear capacity, and then she's saying, well,

0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 2>they've only been set back a couple of months. They

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.800
<v Speaker 2>could still have a weapon in a couple of months.

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a picolaid. But Donald Trump's success in

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 2>handling the conflict in the Middle East has earned him

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 2>another Noble Peace Prize nomination. We discussed on the program

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week, the nomination that came from Pakistan for

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. He's received another one today from US representative

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Body Kata, though.

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 3>Max, I don't think he is likely to win an.

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Award that appears these days to be reserved exclusively for

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the political left.

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 17>I've been very happy with Trump's handling of the Iran conflict.

0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 17>He's gotten all sorts of advice, and I think that

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 17>he rejected a lot of advice and picked the best

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 17>path forward. There were many people who said that, you

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 17>know that the United States shouldn't attack at all. There

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 17>were other people saying the United States should not just

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:44.320
<v Speaker 17>attack the nuclear weapons program, but should go even further

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 17>into topple the regime in Tehran. I think he picked

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:56.240
<v Speaker 17>the best path by attacking the nuclear sites, but also

0:38:56.480 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 17>knowing not to go too far. There are many Americans,

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 17>I think very understandably who didn't want another regime change war,

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 17>and in that sense, he rejected the neocons, but he

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 17>also rejected many of the so called realists who didn't

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.879
<v Speaker 17>want the United States to do anything at all. And

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 17>it seems like that both the Americans and Israelis have

0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 17>done substantial damage to the nuclear program without having American

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:33.359
<v Speaker 17>fingerprints on a country that could really go or rye.

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:37.880
<v Speaker 17>I'm not at all sympathetic to the regime in Tehran,

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 17>but when there's a regime change war, it becomes extremely unpredictable,

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:46.840
<v Speaker 17>as we've seen in Libya, as we saw in Iraq,

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 17>and so for that reason I do think that Trump

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 17>should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 12>Well.

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I do believe Iran is different from Libya and Iraq

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.240
<v Speaker 2>for a number of reasons. But you are one hundred

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:07.240
<v Speaker 2>percent right about Donald Trump being really trying to appease

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:10.560
<v Speaker 2>both sides of his party here, and he spoke earlier

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 2>today about not pushing for regime change in Iran. He

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 2>just said he doesn't want to have the chaos that

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 2>that would bring. I want to ask you though about

0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 2>matts closer to home for US in Australia, there are

0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 2>reports that our Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi could have another

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 2>meeting with Jijiping. This would be his fourth meeting, but

0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:36.280
<v Speaker 2>he has so far not managed to secure a meeting

0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 2>with President Trump. Max, do you see the US Australia

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 2>relationship as being strained in any way? We do know

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 2>that the Albanesi government's attitude to Israel hasn't always been

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>pleasing for the US, and neither has some of the

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 2>things that the Prime Minister and some of his ministers

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 2>have had to say over the years about President Trump himself.

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 17>You know, that's a little bit outside of my wheelhouse.

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:12.720
<v Speaker 17>I focus more on on the Middle East terrorism stuff,

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 17>so I don't want to misspeak about that. I'm really

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:17.360
<v Speaker 17>not sure.

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I appreciate I appreciate you saying that that is.

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.600
<v Speaker 2>That is, Yet we're always interested in how you married

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:28.280
<v Speaker 2>toxic the relationship.

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.480
<v Speaker 3>That's why I love having you on the program.

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:36.200
<v Speaker 17>One thing I do want to ask you.

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Is the main I know you've personally been.

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I want to ask you about that because

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I know you've been a victim of the rise in

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 2>anti Semitism in America and American university campuses.

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.759
<v Speaker 3>We've spoken about that in the past. How do you

0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 3>feel about.

0:41:56.239 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 2>A man who wants to globalize the Intervada winning New

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 2>York City's democratic mayoral primaries or men? Dammy, well, he

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:08.640
<v Speaker 2>looks said to be mayor. New York City is a

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>very blue area. This man could be the next mayor

0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:13.439
<v Speaker 2>of New York.

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 17>I think that the war on terrorism is officially over

0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:23.720
<v Speaker 17>when it looks like the mayor of New York City

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:28.800
<v Speaker 17>could be an open supporter of the global into Fada.

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 17>He wants to bring the war in Gaza home. And

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:39.320
<v Speaker 17>this is just so appalling to me. I'm from the Northeast.

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:44.320
<v Speaker 17>We were particularly affected by you know, nine to eleven,

0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:49.080
<v Speaker 17>and it is just crazy that in the city of

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 17>the World Trade Center towers, it looks like it's quite

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 17>possible that the mayor could be an advocate for antifada

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:02.359
<v Speaker 17>inside of the United States. It seems to me that

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 17>that's the last thing that the United States or any

0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:11.880
<v Speaker 17>Western countries need is more extremism. This alliance between the

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 17>far left in the islamis so I think that this

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 17>is deeply troubling. I think that this is a bigger

0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:24.799
<v Speaker 17>concern than just New York. I think it's indicative of

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 17>the direction of the Democratic Party and where the United

0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:32.360
<v Speaker 17>States and so many other Western countries are going.

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's have a look at a clip from a

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:42.200
<v Speaker 2>popular streamer called Sneaker. He explains why he voted for

0:43:42.239 --> 0:43:42.840
<v Speaker 2>this character.

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 7>I supported him because he's the only non Zionist candidate

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:47.680
<v Speaker 7>on that stage.

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 3>I thought you needed to be bond and solved.

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 16>But people are energetic, people aren't tired of the Zionism,

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 16>and I'm excited.

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:53.360
<v Speaker 6>To see what he's got.

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a socialist myself.

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't want everyone to be a communist get free stuff.

0:43:57.320 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 16>But I think, yes, some cool.

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Ideas, and I've heard that over and over again. I

0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know how prevalent it was amongst his supporters, but

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 2>there seemed to be this anti Zionist sentiment max as

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 2>much as all the radical economic policies this character is

0:44:16.680 --> 0:44:18.400
<v Speaker 2>putting forward.

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:24.120
<v Speaker 17>I think that it's really problematic because he is very

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:28.359
<v Speaker 17>well known for being anti Zionist. He started up a

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 17>student group when he was younger in college, Students for

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:37.239
<v Speaker 17>Justice and Palestine, and they're not just pro Palestine, but

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:44.440
<v Speaker 17>many of them are really quite extremist. Simultaneously, he calls

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:49.960
<v Speaker 17>for a reduction in the police force, and so I

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:53.279
<v Speaker 17>would expect to see and you can quote me on this,

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:57.719
<v Speaker 17>I would expect to see a rise in violence in

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:02.440
<v Speaker 17>New York City. Yes, again the large Jewish population, but

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 17>even more broadly against New Yorkers. What's also really worrisome

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:16.360
<v Speaker 17>is that he is depicting himself as a mainstream Democrat politician.

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:20.880
<v Speaker 17>And indeed the strategists, some of sort of like the

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 17>Democrat establishment political strategists of Biden and Kamala agree and

0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:33.279
<v Speaker 17>they say, yes, this guy is the future of the

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:39.280
<v Speaker 17>Democratic Party. He is an important model for Democrats to follow.

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:43.120
<v Speaker 17>And again that makes this a much bigger issue than

0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.879
<v Speaker 17>just what's going on locally in New York. It makes

0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:50.240
<v Speaker 17>it a national issue and arguably even an international issue.

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:53.800
<v Speaker 17>With the global Intofada, there are so many countries around

0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 17>the West that are suffering from this kind of extremism,

0:45:57.239 --> 0:45:59.759
<v Speaker 17>and apparently he wants to bring that to New York

0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 17>City as well.

0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 13>Well.

0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:07.560
<v Speaker 2>We've seen that sort of politics normalized, haven't we In

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.479
<v Speaker 2>the last few years. We had the Squad and they're

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:13.920
<v Speaker 2>as a radical as you will see, and they seem

0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to have some of the loudest voices amongst the Democrats

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:20.440
<v Speaker 2>now who are sort of ruddless. So could this be

0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 2>what we expect to see from the Democrats going forward?

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 2>This radical wing really setting the agenda.

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.680
<v Speaker 17>Absolutely, And the one benefit I could think is there

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:36.160
<v Speaker 17>could be some sort of dialectical process where you know,

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:41.919
<v Speaker 17>traditional Democrats look at this kind of extremism and they say,

0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 17>you know what, this isn't the party that I used

0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 17>to support. So hopefully some of them will flake off

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 17>and enjoin what I consider to be the more sane party.

0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 17>I wouldn't even be surprised if some people move out

0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:04.840
<v Speaker 17>of New York City because you know, with rising crime

0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:08.920
<v Speaker 17>and all sorts of other problems that this socialist mayor

0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 17>would bring, it could lead to some you know, larger transitions.

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Now we are just waiting to hear from President Trump.

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 3>He's a little bit late with.

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:25.720
<v Speaker 2>His press conference, but we'll be crossing to it shortly,

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:30.360
<v Speaker 2>expecting him in the next couple of minutes, Max, what

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:34.480
<v Speaker 2>would you see as a successful NATO summit for the president.

0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Does he need to secure substantial increases in defense spending

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:41.800
<v Speaker 2>from the NATO partners.

0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 17>The irony is that Trump's critics have long accused him

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 17>as being, you know, a Russian agent or a Russian asst,

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 17>in cahoots with Russia, soft on Russia, and yet it's

0:47:57.680 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 17>Trump who has substantially revitalize NATO. NATO isn't worth much

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 17>if member states are not actually taking money from their

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:16.080
<v Speaker 17>national economies and building up this military alliance. And it

0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 17>already seems to be the case that he has scored

0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:25.120
<v Speaker 17>crucial successes in raising the member state contributions from two

0:48:25.160 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 17>percent to the projected five percent. He's sometimes accused of

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:35.200
<v Speaker 17>being anti NATO, but he's actually really good for NATO,

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 17>and the fact that he is there really shows his

0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:41.400
<v Speaker 17>commitment to this important alliance.

0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is the thing so many of his critics

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:49.600
<v Speaker 2>miss about Donald Trump. And there's plenty from the conservative

0:48:49.680 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 2>side who also missed the particularly conservative commentators in the West.

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:58.200
<v Speaker 3>He's all about outcomes, Max.

0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:01.799
<v Speaker 2>He's willing to say some harsh things about NATO that

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 2>people will say it puts the alliance at risk, and

0:49:05.160 --> 0:49:08.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a threat to NATO. But what he's trying to

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 2>do is to get increase spending to actually strengthen NATO.

0:49:13.640 --> 0:49:16.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's the end result. With Trump, it's not about

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the retric.

0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:21.040
<v Speaker 3>It's not about the tactics. It's all about outcomes.

0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:27.360
<v Speaker 17>That's true. I mean, rhetorically, he has threatened to distance

0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 17>himself in the United States from NATO if member states

0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 17>don't get their act together. But that message actually seems

0:49:37.160 --> 0:49:38.160
<v Speaker 17>to have worked.

0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Professor Max Abrams, I'm going to have to thank

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:44.319
<v Speaker 2>you for your time because we're going to cross to

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the hag now and hear from President Donald Trump.
