1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper is the last remaining serious journalist in Washington, DC,

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: and there's nothing more serious than a military conflict in

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the Middle East. So let's see how he's reporting on

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: our nation's currents. Conflict with Iran. Take it away, Jake,

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: International disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency, a never

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: ending list of reasons gold has risen over seven hundred

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: percent in the last twenty years, and of course, a

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: never ending list of reasons many Americans diversify a portion

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of their savings into precious metals with Birch Gold Group.

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Gold is a commodity that's thrived during uncertainty, which is

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: why it can be a crucial part of a balanced strategy.

13

Speaker 1: eight ninety eight ninety eight. Do it today.

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 2: Thick black smoke and oil raining from the sky, one

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: resident old CNA and it quote feels like we're suffocating.

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: I know that the President has voiced a concern for

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: the Iranian people in the last few months. You are

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: a former energy executive. What are the health impacts from

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: these strikes on fuel sides?

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course there's air quality impacts of that, But

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: I would focus on the thousands of American soldiers that

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: the Iranian regime is killed over the years. They opened

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: their regime by kidnapping sixty six Americans and holding them hostage.

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: For over a year.

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: Three years later they killed hundreds of Marines in Burut

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: Beyroot doing nothing of aggression towards Iran, and then they

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: continued that through ied bombs in Iraq. So this is

40
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: a murderous regime. In fact, they recently killed somewhere between

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: ten and thirty thousand of their own citizens protesting their

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: murderous regime. So that's a far greater worry than that

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: a few days of lower air quality in Tehran. They're

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: just not even on the same magnitude.

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: You cannot make this up. They literally just killed tens

46
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: of thousands in the streets a month ago after their protests.

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: They have killed thousands of American soldiers over the years.

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: They are the leading state sponsor of terrorism, from Hesba,

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Lata Hamast to the Hoothis to Venezuela across the board.

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: And Jake Tapper and his colleagues are most concerned about

51
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the environmental impact of the smoke in the air right

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: now in Tehran. Look at the Chiron CNN team reports like, Yeah,

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: by the way, CNN was allowed access to Iran by

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime. They made a big deal out of it.

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: After the military strikes began, CNN begged, what's left? I

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: don't know, how who do you call in the Iranian

57
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: government at this point? Right it's like, is the DMV

58
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: still functioning? I don't think so. They called whoever is

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: in charge of Iran. CNN knows they got the hotline

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: where with CNN we want to come report on the war,

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and of course Iran is like, oh yes, please, we

62
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: know you're on our side, come and report. Report. And

63
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: so here's one of the reports. CNN team reports black

64
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: smoke and oily rain and Tehran after strikes.

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: Well, get on that.

66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Make sure we get to the bottom of it, because

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: we could have some environmental impact. You know, there's also

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: an environmental impact from people's bodies being blown to bits.

69
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: So that's CNN's focus. And then of course Jake Tapper

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: got Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut there in studio and

71
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: started grilling him.

72
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: Let's see, the administration is reportedly weighing Congress who approve

73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: an additional fifty billion dollars in funding for these operations.

74
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: You have said you're a hell no, not just a

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: no on funding the war. We have seen this movie before.

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: We know that that vote will be cast as especially

77
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: if you run for higher office, you voting against the troops.

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: Oh come on, I mean, the American people don't want

79
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 5: this war. They don't want this war. They have seen

80
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: what happens when American troops go into places like Iraq,

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: places like Afghanistan, Ultimately, we get a lot of people killed,

82
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: we waste a lot of dollars. The one thing the

83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 5: American people are clear about is that they do not

84
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: want the United States dragged into another law long term

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: war in the Middle East. If you support the troops,

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: then you should be voting against funding this war so

87
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: that we get our troops out of harm's way. Virtually,

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: nothing good happened from sending thousands of Americans to die

89
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 5: inside Iraq in the two thousands. And if we don't

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 5: learn that lesson than sham on every single one of us.

91
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: So uh huh, okay, so real fast. I just want

92
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: to show you what happened here in case you missed it.

93
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you didn't because you watch our program enough

94
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: to sort of pick up on these things. But let's

95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: watch it again, because it's all in the question. What

96
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: these journalists, these reporters, these teleprompter readers decide when they

97
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: huddle together with their producers and they craft the questions

98
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: they're going to ask. Listen to the question again.

99
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: Administration is reportedly weighing Congress who approve an additional fifty

100
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: billion dollars in funding for these operations.

101
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: You fifty billion dollars for the operations. Well, what does

102
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: that mean operations? Well, it goes to equip the military

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: so that they can continue their mission. Okay, all right,

104
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: go ahead.

105
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: I have said you're a hell no, not just a

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: no on funding the war. We have seen this movie before.

107
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: We know that that vote will be cast as, especially

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: if you run for higher office, you voting against the troops.

109
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: That vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: By the way, that's not a question. There's no question

111
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: mark there. Jake Tapper didn't say, is it fair to

112
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: say that this would be a vote against the troops?

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Do you disagree that this is a vote against the troops?

114
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, see, those are questions. Jake Tapper didn't ask

115
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: a question. He just lobbed up a premise for the senator.

116
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask a question, Senator Murphy. If you

117
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: vote no on the fifty billion dollars needed to equip

118
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: our troops as they're engaged in this conflict, how is

119
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: that not voting against our troops? How could you even

120
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: look anyone in the eyes and characterize it as anything

121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: but voting against our troops. They're in the middle of

122
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: the engagement, right now and you're going to like cut

123
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: off their bullets and bombs and meals. That's what it is.

124
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: But Jake Tapper, oh look at him. We've seen this

125
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: movie before. I show you this moment in how Jake

126
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Tapper interviews a sitting US senator in the middle of

127
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: a military conflict in the Middle East, and compare it

128
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: to another guy who have the same opportunity sitting with

129
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: a US senator, a Democrat across from him in a

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: studio during this military conflict. But this guy isn't a journalist,

131
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: he's not a reporter. He's not a smug teleprompter reader

132
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: like Jake Tapper. He's a stand up comedian Bill Maher.

133
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Now watch how he adam shift.

134
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 6: This statement from the administration. The president had the constitutional

135
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 6: authority to direct the use of military force because he

136
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: could reasonably determine that such use of force was in

137
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 6: the national interest. That's too vague for you, totally vague, okay,

138
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 6: because that's from Obama about Libya.

139
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 7: Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go

140
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 7: into Syria without an.

141
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: How great is that moment?

142
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: Here?

143
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Let me read you this from the administration. Da da

144
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: da da, Now is that too big. Oh, that's horrible.

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: I can't do that good because that was Obama. And

146
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: by the way, even more importantly, listen, it's about Obama

147
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: when he decided to drop bombs on Libya, and that

148
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: bombing campaign went for like months. Okay, well beyond the

149
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: two month window of the war powers act right, and

150
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: listen to what Adam Shift does when he gets caught. Okay, again,

151
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: it was an Obama statement about Libya.

152
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: Determine that's such use of force was in the national interest.

153
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 6: That's too vague for you. Totally vague, okay, because that's

154
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 6: from Obama about Libya.

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 7: Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go

156
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 7: into Syria without an authorisation. I and many others pushed

157
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 7: back on that argument. Ultimately, he did not go forward

158
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 7: with going after Asad, even though Aside was gassing his

159
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 7: own people.

160
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Wait, he completely changed the subject and now he was

161
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: talking about a conflict that didn't happen with Syria. We

162
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: don't care. Nobody cares. This is about Libya. Obama bond Libya.

163
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: He also, by the way, sent drone strikes and bombs

164
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: to Syria at another part of his presidency and to

165
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: a rock and we can go on and on. The

166
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: only time he never sent the military to the Middle

167
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: East was when our guys were dying on a rooftop

168
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: in Benghazi. Then we could have used some military support.

169
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: But you know, there's a whole lot of rewriting history

170
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: going on here. You know, Jake Tapper with, oh, we've

171
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: seen this movie before. They're going to say you're against

172
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the troops when you vote not to fund the troops.

173
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Of course they are, because that's the only reasonable conclusion

174
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: to reach. Or or Adam Schiff and Bill Mahers. All right,

175
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: So so this statement you don't agree with, Oh yeah,

176
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: that's horrible. Good because it was Obama and you loved

177
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: him when he said it. But it goes well beyond that.

178
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: You keep hearing from everybody there's no imminent threat. There's

179
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: no imminent threat. Why now, why now? Why did Trump

180
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: do this? Now there's no imminent threat. There's war of choosing,

181
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: war of choosing, war of choosing. Okay, here's a flashback

182
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: for you. This is two thousand and eight. Hillary Clinton

183
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: wanted to be president, and she let everyone in the

184
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: world know exactly what she'd do if she was president.

185
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 8: I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president,

186
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 8: we will attack Iran whatever stage of development they might

187
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 8: be in their nuclear weapons program, ten years during which

188
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 8: they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we

189
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 8: would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible

190
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 8: thing to say. But those people who run Iran need

191
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 8: to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them from

192
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 8: doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic.

193
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was, you know, eighteen years ago. Do we

194
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: think maybe there's more of an imminent threat now, especially

195
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: after Obama gave them billions of dollars and allowed them

196
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: to develop nuclear weapons even further, Oh, there's no imminent threat.

197
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: There's no eminent threat. It's a war of choosing. It's

198
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: a war of choosing. They loved her when she said it.

199
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: And oh, let's not forget the previous administration, the Biden administration.

200
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: You remember them. Here's the president, the vice president, and

201
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State when asked about the imminent threat

202
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: of Iran, what.

203
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 9: Is your message to Hesbola and its backer Iran?

204
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 10: Don't?

205
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: Don't?

206
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 9: Don't don't. What's the message to Iran?

207
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: Don't?

208
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 9: It was very important to send a very clear message

209
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 9: to anyone who might seek to take advantage of the

210
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 9: conflict in Gas but to threaten our personnel here or

211
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 9: anywhere else in the region, don't do it.

212
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that really resonated. Boy. That taught him. That

213
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: showed them, because Lord knows, Iran did not fund Hamas

214
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: or Hezbala or the Yuthis and all of the other

215
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: attacks on American troops and civilians in Israel and elsewhere. No,

216
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: they ignored them. That's weakness. Meanwhile, while we're going down

217
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: memory lane, President Trump, when he was first running for office,

218
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: was also asked about how to handle Iran. He didn't say,

219
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: don't He said this.

220
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 9: Somebody criticized me the other day because they asked me

221
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 9: what I do, and I said, I'm going to.

222
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Bomb the shit out of them.

223
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 6: It's true.

224
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: I don't care.

225
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't care.

226
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 5: They've got to be stopped.

227
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. They've got to be stopped. He said again.

228
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Just to see who's consistent here and who stayed on message,

229
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: and who's kept the whole posse. Oh, I know, I know.

230
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in trouble with other influencers who call

231
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: themselves conservatives, who have microphones and do streaming others like,

232
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: but Trump said no new wars, Trenton, No, he didn't.

233
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: He said no new forever wars. He's the guy who

234
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: got us out of the forever war, remember until Biden

235
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: screwed it up. And if this is a forever war,

236
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: we're going on nine days. If that's forever, dude, I'm

237
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: impressed that you think nine days is forever. I was

238
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: told Venezuela was a violation of the president's promise of

239
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: no new forever wars and that took what eight hours?

240
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone calm down. Has Donald Trump not earned

241
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: your trust on things like this? Oh? By the way,

242
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: speaking of Barack Obama, speaking of memory lane, speaking of

243
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: how we handled Iran under other administrations, ohen And speaking

244
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: of Jake Tapper, let's get young whipper snapper, Jake Tapper

245
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: boy as he aged in ten years. Well, you know what,

246
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: tell him lie after lie after lie about Russian collusion,

247
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: hoaxes and pretending like Joe Biden wasn't debilitated until then

248
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: you decided, Oh, I guess he is debilitated. I'll write

249
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: a book and make a million dollars on it. That

250
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: can take a toll on you. You'll show your age.

251
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: So here's Jake Tapper ten years ago. Watch this.

252
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: Come back to the lead. I'm Jake Tapper in Ohio,

253
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: battleground state where we're covering the presidential contest. But let's

254
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: turn to our world lead Today continued outrage and controversy

255
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: over that four hundred million dollar cash transferred to Iran

256
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: by the Obama administration on the same day four American

257
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: prisoners were released by Iran. The White House denies that

258
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: the money was a ransom payment. Footage aired on Iranian television, however,

259
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: purports to show the money arriving into Terehran, and that

260
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: is raising renewed questions about whether this was a quid

261
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: pro quo. CNN Chief National Security correspondent Jim Shudo has

262
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: been digging into the mystery. Jim, you're learning new details

263
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: about how the cash was delivered.

264
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 11: That's why Jacob seniors.

265
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: By the way, real fast, because they won't tell you

266
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: this on CNN. But Jim Shudo, their senior national security correspondent,

267
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: used to work for the Obama administration. Why don't they

268
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: tell you things like this? Why am I here to

269
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: tell you things like this? I'm glad I'm here. To

270
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: tell you things like this. Okay, please give us your

271
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: journalistic insight.

272
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 11: A Department official tells me that it was not a

273
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 11: US plane that delivered that cash, but these officials, the

274
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 11: President himself acknowledged that cash was sent. And we are

275
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 11: now seeing what Iranian State television says, what all that

276
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 11: money in cash looked.

277
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,119
Speaker 4: Like Charles Sathmadim talent loaded with what Iranian state television

278
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: claims is cash sent by the US. The narrator says,

279
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: to pay back Iran's money after thirty five years. This video,

280
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 4: which CNN cannot authenticate, aired in Iran just days after

281
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: the release of four American prisoners at the Pentagon Thursday.

282
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: President Obama dismissed any connection between the cash payment, which

283
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: he acknowledged, and the prisoner's release, saying that negotiations were

284
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: entirely separate.

285
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure they were, and I believe him. There's no

286
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: reason not to believe him, right absolutely. By the way,

287
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: real fast, at that negotiating table there, you've got your

288
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, John Kerry, that's the Secretary of Energy.

289
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: I forgot that dude's name with the big head of hair,

290
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: A couple of other people all sitting there, at the

291
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: table with the Iranian terrorists, coming up with a nuclear

292
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: deal that allowed them to continue spinning their century fusias

293
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: and coming this close to a bomb until Trump took

294
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Cara business. You know what's interesting about all that part

295
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: of the national security team for Barack Obama, a CIA

296
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: analyst for the National Security Council that focused specifically on

297
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Iran in the Middle East during these negotiations was a

298
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: young CIA agent named Alissa Slotkin. That's right. She brags

299
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: about it all the time that she was part of

300
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: the Obama team for the nuclear deal that she thought

301
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: was a really great idea, the one that ended up

302
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: sending no, not four hundred million dollars in cash to

303
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime, it was over a billion dollars in

304
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: cash that then, of course was used to fund Hamas

305
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: and Hezbollah and terror attacks. You can draw a direct

306
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: line to the terror attacks of October seventh, and Alyssa

307
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: Slockin bragged about how she was part of the national

308
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: security apparatus that brought us that great deal. It's weird though,

309
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: when asked specifics about her job there with Obama and

310
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: the billion dollars of cash that was given to the

311
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,840
