1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Richard Morning, Good morning. Make update is where are we at?

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Trump is reaching out to some media outlets again day

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: six of the war. He's telling Axios that he must

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: be involved in picking Iran's next leader. He says reports

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: to come Aany's son wash Taba is likely replacement for father,

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: are quite unacceptable. They're wasting their time, says Trump, adding

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: the sun has a lightweight. Trump says he must be

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: involved in the employment, just as he was in Venezuela.

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: The son is fifty six. He is a hardline cleric.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: He's never held any public office at all, but has

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: deep ties with the Revolutionary Guard. This Trump assertion. As

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: the war is spilling beyond the Middle East, Azerbaijan has

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: been struck by two drones fired from Iran, wounding two people,

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: damaging a local airport. Iran is firing though fewer drones

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: and missiles as US and Israeli forces expand their control

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: of the air and sea. Former Pentagon spokesman, retired Colonel

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: Steve Warrant says we are striking them, and we are

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: reducing the numbers that they have.

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're empty.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: Though Pentagon says they are finding and destroying Iran's mobile

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: missile launchers, says Hegseth, the US Defense Secretary. We are accelerating,

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: not decelerted. Well. The US has destroyed in Iranian warship

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: one of twenty Iranian vessels. The US says it has

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: taken out, but again Pentagon, giving few details. Before the war,

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: around had three submarines, eight frigates so smaller than a destroyer,

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: two corvettes more maneuverable vessels in its fleet, while the

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guards had hundreds of smaller fast vessels. The frigate

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Dina was the one that was sunk with the US torpedo,

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: first time since World War II that the US Navy's

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: sub has struck a vessel with a torpedo in combat,

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: and Israeli jet also got into an aerial dogfight with

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: an Iranian plane, first such encounter in years as well. Meantime,

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: on the political front, Europe has been drawn a little

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: more closely into this after Trump slams Spain and said

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: the UK's Keir Starmer was no Winston Churchill. The UK

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: is sending some extra jets to Cutter, while France is

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: allowing the US to use a base for non combat purposes.

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: Iran still is without the internet, so we're hearing very

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: little from inside the country, but one anti government activist

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: was able to get out this report.

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: It is very, very dangerous outside. Everybody from the regime

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: as the gun. Most of them are very ugly and furious,

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: and they have a free will to shoot everybody.

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Hillish situation. The US State Department has started to arrange

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: flights for people stranded in the region, to be questions

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: why evacuations weren't part of the initial planning in all

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: of this, Trump aide Carolyn Levett asserts they did what

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: they could by issuing travel warnings.

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: You can't be much more clearer than that, do not

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: travel to these following countries.

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: However, nine of fourteen countries involved said they were not

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: designated at high risk. The names of the six US

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: troops killed so far have been released. They include twenty

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: year old Sergeant Deckland Cody, whose sister is saying.

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: It still don't for me.

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: I think it's real. Defense Secrety Hexcess slammed the coverage

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: being given here to the American war dead. I get

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: it the press only wants to make the president look bad,

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: but try for once to report the reality, you get it.

60
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: Not everything is about Trump.

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: No is name toast.

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: There are reports that Trump is sounding out his aids

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: about whether she should be whether she should lose her job.

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: This after a couple of days of absolutely blistering hearings

65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: for the head of the ICE Immigration cracked on. Much

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 2: of the sharp criticism coming from Republicans got to say

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: it was bruising. No One was challenged about buying a

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: jet for her agency, a plane which has had a

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: luxury bedroom with a double bed and flatscreen TVs and

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: all the baraphernalia that Nome had used along with Cory Lewandowski,

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: her aid and alleged lover. It was said that this

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: plane was purchased for deportation of would be immigrants. Well, Nome,

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: we've certainly asked about.

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: This, so, Secretary nom at any time during your tenure

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: as director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: sexual relations with Corey Lowandowski. Mister Sherman, I am shocked

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: that we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage.

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: No further answer. She was also pressed repeatedly about the

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: ICE killings for No Good and Alex Pretty and whether

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: they were quite domestic terrorists, the term that Nome had

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: used right after the killings. She still refused to say

82
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: or to apologize. But the big issue for the White

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: House apparently is where the Gnome personally approved a three

84
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy three million New Zealand dollar ad campaign

85
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: which prominently features Yeah, Christy Nome in all kinds of

86
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: military style getups. Trump is said to be angered by

87
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: this and by the spotlight being away from himself.

88
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: Yoh, good weekend. Richard Donold back on Monday. Trade Court

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: bad news for Trump on tariff's federal judge US Court

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: of International Trade has ordered Customs and Border Protection to

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: issue refunds for levy. So if we you were charged

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: for under IPA, it's the emergency business. Judge Richard Eaton says,

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: you need your money back. How that's going to happen, literally,

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: no one knows. Meantime, Bergham's been in Venezuela and was

95
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: having a word with Rodriguez as in Delsy, saying things

96
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: are going well. The oil's moving. They've adjusted their laws

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: around investment on all sorts of things, including now the

98
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: oil sector, and so life in Venezuela seems to be

99
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: going nicely. Thank you.

100
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: For more from the mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to

101
