1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Richard, how are you doing?

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 2: Okay? Good? One right?

3
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: So Pakistan JD closes the deal, the Ayatola runs the

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: straight We're done.

5
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah it sounds easy, doesn't it, But in fact we're

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: really still on the edge. Is a peace talks in

7
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: a way you describe or a military escalation? Trump is

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: claiming moves on both counts. He says there have been

9
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: talks with an unnamed Iranian who end the war and

10
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: maybe put Trump himself as the gatekeeper over oil supplies

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: through the Strait of Hormuz he.

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Jointly controlled.

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: Maybe me, maybe me, Me and the Ayatola, whoever the

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: Aetola is, so Trump and the Iotola buddies who would

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: rule over much of the world's oil supply. How likely

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: is that? It appears that Trump's son in law, Garrett

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: man it Old real estate mate Steve Whitkoff have been

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: in touch with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammed

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: galibav Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey also are offering to serve

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: as intermediaries in any talks. Pakistan's army chief as Simunir,

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: had a call with Trump. Is Amabada's offering to host

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: any peace talks perhaps Azu this week with Witcoff involved,

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: but no confirmation that anyone from Iran would attend this thing.

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: It's being suggested that jade Vans could leave the US

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: side in any talks if they were to happen. Most

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: say that all this would involve huge challenges. Meantime, more

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 2: US troops as we know, are on the way. Forty

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: five hundred sailors and marines are headed to the region,

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: and The New York Times says reporting that Trump is

30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: considering calling up the eighty second Airborne as well. That

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: is a brigade of around three thousand paratroopers able to

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,279
Speaker 2: deploy anywhere within eighteen hours if they landed on carg Island.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: Marines would be required as well to fix the airfields

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: before any heavily armored vehicles could be brought in. So

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a lot of ideas being tossed around.

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: How we're going at the airport.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: We got a deal, ah, not yet. Our top Republican

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: leaders are begging Trump to sign on to an agreement

39
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: to end the partial government shutdown that's causing this absolute

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: chaos at the Airport's here the delays in getting through

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: airport security are running up to five hours in some places.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: It is crazy. Trump ordered ICE agents to go to

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: some fourteen airports to help us, we said the other day,

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: but they seem to be doing basically nothing. They can't

45
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: use the X ray machines and not trained for the job.

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: They're wandering around the airport's kind of looking blank without

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: their masks on. A lot of tourists are taking photos

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: of their faces and posting them on social media as

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: the ICE agents run away from the cameras. It is

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: bizarre and very, very frustrating for travelers. He's a sampling

51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: of some of the media coverage.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Here is alert chaos erupting at America's airports. This line

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: in Atlanta showing people lined up around midnight for flights

54
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: leaving this morning.

55
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: I've been here almost two hours, three three and a

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: half hours here that we might not make it. Some

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: myeslde is boarding right now. Oh no, yeah, that's what

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: the kids says. Oh no. While the politician's appeared to

59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: be close to a deal on paying the transit workers

60
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: who've been without that pay for thirty nine days now,

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: but Trump has been standing in the way of any settlement.

62
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Don't make any deal on anything unless you include voter

63
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: ID and you have to be a citizen to vote. Yeah,

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: this is where it gets even crazier. A group of

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Republicans met with Trump last night saying it is a

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: Republican party that's getting slammed over all of this, says

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Senator John Kennedy, doctor Senatkathun last night, and he says

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: the President has reconsidered and maybe on board. So the

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: reason Trump is holding our political sword over their heads

70
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: is because he wants a new law that could remove

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: from the voter lists millions, maybe tens of millions of people.

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: It's the Save Act, which would require Americans to provide

73
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, and then

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: a photo idea at the time of voting. Trump claims

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: that could lock in a majority for Republicans for years

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: to come by eliminating poor people, mostly Democrats, from the roles.

77
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the votes in the Congress for that.

78
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: The fact is many eligible voters do not have documentary

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: proof of citizenship. Do you have your original birth certificate?

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Do you have an unexpired passport with your current name

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: not your maiden name if you're female. Fifty two percent

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: of registered voters do not have these applications also would

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: have to be made in person. So in Alaska, say

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: more than eighty percent of can unities are not connected

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: by roads, they would have to fly to one of

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: coundum six only officers to register. So a one day

87
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: trip to the local office to register could cost those

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: Alaskans around nineteen hundred dollars. In New Zealand per person

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: just to register to vote, who's going to do that? Good?

90
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Only mate, catch up soon, Richard Old state. So it

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: does give you an insight. Birth certificate is a problem, obviously,

92
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: but it does give you an insight into that. It's

93
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: often cited as urban myth. One of the great urban

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: myths around the American passport business was only six or

95
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: seven percent of Americans have passports because none of them

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: travel they will travel domestically, which isn't true. But nevertheless,

97
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: fifty two percent of people a claiming they don't have

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: a passport tells you they don't get around the world

99
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: very much. Pull out this morning. By the way, jd

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: Vance is still the clear preference over Rubio for VP

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: and twenty eight or VP going to president in twenty eight.

102
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: He's up. Rubio's up three to seventeen Vance is down three,

103
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: but he doesn't need to worry. He's at fifty. The

104
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: only other player in there is decentis who's sitting on nine.

105
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: In a hypothetical head to head, Vance would beat Rubio

106
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: sixty two to twenty seven.
