1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: So the ceasefire that Trump declared decreed is currently holding,

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: but was broken for a moment while we slept last

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: night and lead to this outburst from Donald Trump.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: I'm not happy with Israel.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with the run either.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: We have two countries that have been fighting so long

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: and so hard that they don't know what the they're doing.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: So since then Nitya, who was sending warplanes, they've been

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: turned around. There were a few bombs dropped, but it

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: seems that they've come back from the brink. So as

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: Trump is about to step out of Air Force one

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: at Amsterdam Airport and go to NATO, can he does

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: he have the wind at his back? So to speak.

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Henry Olsen is a columnist in the United States and

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: it's with us this morning. Henry, Welcome to the show.

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me on.

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: How how do Americans feel about Trump getting involved? You know,

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: are they paying attention to this in the way that

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the world is.

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: He's paying a lot of attention to it. You know.

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: The whole suggests that the people who didn't like Trump

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: coming in don't approve of his action with respect to Iran,

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: but his base does, and his party does. The fact

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: is that Republicans and people who voted for him overwhelmingly

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: support him, and that's really what he needs. He also

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: has a lot of understanding and praise for at least

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: brokering a ceasefire and for ending what every administration going

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: back thirty years has said is an unacceptable threat that

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: Iran holds nuclear weapons.

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: If you, i suppose, if you can come away with

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: sitting the nuclear program back a couple of years, if

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: you can come away with Israel feeling about themselves and

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: with no further US involvement in the region, then that

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: is a massive win for US president, right.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: It would be a massive When the question, though, is

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: if all you do is kick the program back a

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: couple of years, then you still have a question that

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: it's unacceptable to the United States that Iran because that's

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. If all you do is kick the

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: nuclear program into low gear, then the next president is

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: going to have to make a difficult decision as to

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: what to do, and may have to make the same

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: decision the President Trump did. But at the at least

44
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: in the medium in short term, this appears to be

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: a huge win both the United States and for the

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: President Hey.

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Henry, big heat wave heading the States. At the moment

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: I was looking in New York, it was felt like

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: forty one degrees celsius to us.

50
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Very hot for you guys. Very and it's a primary

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: election day for the New York Democratic mayoral primary. We'll

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: see whether or not people decide to stay home rather

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: than go out in such a heat, hot and humid weather.

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be interesting to see what happens with Kumo

55
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: having a second bite of the cherry. Eight minutes away
