1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Rich and anal sight side morning.

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 2: Very good morning, Mikel.

3
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: So it's iber until it isn't.

4
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, mixed messages. Right, here's the war on around near

5
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: its end or at its beginning. You can take your

6
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: pick from these Trump comments over just the past several hours.

7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: It's going to be a short term excursion. Will not

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated. We've

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 3: already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: We're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective, and

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 3: some people could say they're pretty well complete, I could

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: call it, or we could go further.

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: Okay, then what we can say is that some of

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Trump's toughest language is about oil being blocked from the

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: straight up home moves, because that can affect everyone. Already,

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: we see the financial markets bouncing around Saudi Arabia's ARAMCO

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: will because the all exporter says there will be quite

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: catastrophic consequences if the run continues to obstruct that passage.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Trump has raised the idea of having the US police

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: that zone, but former CICHI retied General David Pritt says

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: that's easier said than done. If the war does not

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: end and in soon, he says.

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: If it doesn't, we're going to have to start escorting tankers,

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: creating a safe corridor through the gould and also out

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: of the strait of her moves. And that's a major

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 4: military mission to take on. And although we've degraded their

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: navy very considerably, there still are many subs, fast boats,

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 4: there's missiles that could cause problems, drones and so forth.

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: So there's part of the answer to the question you

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: just raised. The effects on petrol prices here have been instant,

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: even though the US is actually an oil export of

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: these times. So why did prices surge here about what

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: half a minute after the war started. It's because oil

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: prices are set as a world market, so it's global

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: crude prices rocketed to a more than three year high

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: this week before eating but pitting near one hundred and

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: twenty US barrel dollars of barrel the oil producer, I'm

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: going to sell it here for half that. Folks at

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: gas stations are ridiculous, crazy, insane.

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: I couldn't have forteenhill it my take. I'm kind of

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: afraid that it's gonna go up higher in the coming week.

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: Could do this is of course, the US election years,

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: the Trump team worried they could lose control of both

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: the House and the Senate with this playing into it.

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: Trump has said refuel prices.

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: I knew oil prices would go up if I did this,

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: and they've gone up, probably less than I thought they'd

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: go up.

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna satisfy no one. By the way, one

50
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: Los Angeles petrol station just posted self serve prices at

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: the equivalent of three dollars sixty four New Zealand per liter.

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: That is way above the norm even in California. But yeah,

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 2: A polls is showing this war is opposed by most Americans,

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: so that it's a sharp difference from conflicts in the past.

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: When the US went to war with Afghanistan, there was

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: initially ninety two percent support, of course, and that was

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: right after septembery eleventh. For the Persian Gulf Ward nineteen

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: ninety one, initial backing was eighty two percent. For the

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: Iraq war in O three it was seventy six percent.

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: A Router's Ipsos poll here has support for the Iran

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: war at twenty seven percent. As to the military action,

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: there is still concern over the partially and rich Uranian

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: that was very underrubble during the June attacks on Iran

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: last year. Then there is a question about who Trump

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: can deal with. Now the old Iotoler is dead and

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: his second son, Maurrish Tarbor, how many is the chosen replacement.

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: This is someone who lost in the US Australi attack

68
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: so far, his father, his wife, and his son. So

69
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: replacing the old Iotola with a younger, angrier iotole he's

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: not someone Trump can deal with, and he says, now, I.

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: Was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: just more of the same problem for the country. So

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: I was disappointed to see their choice.

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: Trump also is refusing to take responsibility for the deadly

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Iranian school strike at the start of the war. Or

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: at least one hundred and seventy five people, mostly children,

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: were said to have been killed. The New York Times

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: is saying now that mangled missile fragments from the site

79
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 2: show the markings of American Tomahawk cruise missile, including serial numbers,

80
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: as the US was said to have been targeting an

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: adjacent naval base. Trump claims it is still an open

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: question still being investigated, and says of the American made

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Tomahawk missiles.

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: You know, it is sold and used by other countries,

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: you know that. And whether it's Iran, who also has

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: some tomahawks, so I wish they had more, But whether

87
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that itahawk tomahawk

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: is very generic. It's sold to other countries.

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: But that's being investigated simply untrue. Iran has no Tomahawks

90
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: in any country the US has sold these missiles to.

91
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: Would have required State Department approva before any transfers to

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: a third party like Iran.

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: See Richard Donold State side. They're also voting today in Georgia.

94
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: This is the fourteenth congressional district. Wise, liest of interest,

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: it's Marjorie Taylor Green. Of course she blew up. She's gone.

96
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: So it's a Republican stronghold. That's not really the issue.

97
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: But they need to work out who's going to replace

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: a Trump's got behind a guy called Clay Fuller. But

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: the problem is there are Democrats and Republicans in the

100
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: race and there are seventeen candidates. Watch that Today with interest.
