Situation room. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Where are we at. 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's still meeting. But as you've been noting, there 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: are some stark new social media posts from Trump in 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: the background of all of this. We could be on 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: the brink of a rapid shift in the American role. 7 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: Trump wrote, quote, we emphasize on the word emphasis on 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: the word we. We now have complete and total control 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: of the skies over Iran. Here's what is ready. Leader Nettno, 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: who said in his latest US interview. 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: We control the skies of Tehran. 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: So sound Familia, Trump, echoing Netnohu. Trump also put out 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: a veiled threat to the Iranian leader an Kamani quote, 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 2: we again, we know where he is hiding. Trump calls 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: the Iatola quote an easy target, while adding he is 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 2: safe for now. Netno, who also danced around the idea 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: that Israel might seek to assassinate the Ietola, he told 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: American ABC. 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: For We're doing what we need to do. I'm not 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: going to get into the details. It's not going to 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: escalate the conflict, going to end the conflict. 22 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: Well after leaving the G seven summit in Canada a 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: day early, Trump said that the people of Tehran should 24 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: quote evacuate immediately. On his plane trip back to Washington, 25 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: Trump said this, said once again, this echoes the statements 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: of Israel's Nettunohu, who said this. 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: What we're doing is targeting regime sites, nuclear sites, military sides, 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 3: and ballistic missile sites that are embedded in Tehran. We're 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: telling the people leave the zone of battle so that 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: you're not heard, and in fact they are leaving well. 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: Aerial views show massive traffic jams with people fleeing Tehran 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: at the minute, a city of what ten million people. Meantime, 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: there was and has already strike on Iran state television. 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: Many will have seen this video Presento shown fleeing in 35 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: the midst of collapsing walls and smoke rising up. Israel 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: says it hit the TV studios since they are key 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: to I run in propaganda. Trump's choice here is continuing 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: to plembency, or more directly siding with Israel militarily and 39 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: perhaps using the American bunker busting bomb, which is so 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: huge it can only be dropped by American be To 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: bombers to destroy the underground Iranian nuclear side of FORDO. 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 2: That is a thirteen six hundred kilogram bomb. Its use 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: would have reversed many years of American policy on Iran. 44 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: Just days ago, in late May, Trump had warned Netanya 45 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: Who against an Iranian attack, saying it would destroy diplomatic options. 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: Then on Dune the fourth, Iran rejected the latest Trump proposal. However, 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: there is a long history with all of it, like this. 48 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: Iran is so dangerous, weeks away from having the fissile 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs. 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: That was netnio Who saying Iran was just weeks off 51 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: from having an arsenal of nukes. That was netnia Who. 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: In twenty fifteen. There is a split among Trump supporters 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: over direct American involvement in the war with Iran. This 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: could turn out to be Trump's biggest decision indeed. 55 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: And then we come to the business businessman the Apolis 56 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: or Minnesota the other day, and this, I mean, what 57 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: do we do to protect politicians? 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: We're going to say, Well, in Washington, d C. They're 59 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: worried about their own security. They're asking to Speaker of 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: a more funding for security. Following those shootings where of course, 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: the State Polly and her husband were killed. Nan two 62 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: others have been critically wounded. 63 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: You know. 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: The latest information shows that those wounded State Senator John 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: Hoffman and his wife were hit by a total of 66 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: seventeen bullets. Somehow, they're still hanging on to life. The 67 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: accused assassin, E. Vans Belta, who now is in custody, 68 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: is charged with the murders and other crimes. There is 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: also a furor over the politic in Utah. Senator Might 70 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: Lee posted what I guess he thought was a joke. 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: Is this funny? Headlining a photo? Is quote nightmare on 72 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: Wall Street? Referring to Tim Waltsley, Minnesota governor who ran 73 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: as Kamala Harris's deputy. He was also on the list 74 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: of this alleged assassin's targets potential targets. So jokes about 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: politicals say that is pretty low. Well, Trump himself says 76 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: he hasn't bothered to call him. Walsh, who was, as 77 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: I say, on the target list. 78 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: I could call him say hi, how you doing. 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: The love? He said, he's a mess, So I could be. 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: But why waste Trump himself, of course targeted twice with 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: compassion for now, said Trump, why waste time? 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: All right? Do you have a good week. 83 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate it very much. Richard Arnold stateside, by the way, 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: there's a scrap of sorts over the phone that we 85 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: announced yesterday, the Trump Company launching a mobile app and 86 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: a phone and a service and all that sort of stuff. 87 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: He claims the phone's going to be made in America. 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: Everyone in the industry can't see how that's possible, because 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: they don't make phones in America. It will be Chinese made, 90 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: which is ironic. And Joey Chestnut is back for the 91 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. If you missed this. 92 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Last year, he was banned because he did a deal 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: with some of those people who don't like eating meat, 94 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and so they banned them. But he's now back. He's 95 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: held the title sixteen times.
