1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Well, if you were hoping that Donald Trump's scheduling a

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: speech for two hours ago meant that there was going

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: to be some sort of a development in the war,

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: either the US pulling out or putting boots on the

5
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: ground or opening the strait, then you, like me, would

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: have been disappointed because there was no news. Was there.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: There was no announcement. Donald Trump was simply trying to

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: convince American voters with his pr and its stuff he

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: said before. So the main points of the speech were

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: that Irana bad guys who needed to be stopped. The

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: US will hit them hard in the next two to

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: three weeks. Yes, the war is making feel more expensive,

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: but not because of what he's done. It's because of

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: what the Iranians have done, as in shutting the straight. Actually,

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: the war isn't taking that long compared to other wars

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: like World War Two that went on for three years,

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: eight months and twenty five days. Trump never wanted regime

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: change in Iran, but by the way, there has been

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: regime changed because the radical leaders have been killed in

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: the new leaders aren't as radical, and if they don't

21
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: strike a deal, he might hit their energy plants and

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: send them back to the Stone ages. None of this,

23
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: as I say, is new. He said all of this

24
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: or most of this before. So why did he call

25
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the speech each for two o'clock our time? Because he's

26
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: worried American voters are not on board with what he's done.

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: A so he's trying to go over the top of

28
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the media narrative that he's losing and that the war

29
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: is dragging out. And he's trying to sell the message

30
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: that actually this is short and sharp and it will

31
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: be over soon. And he's also trying to sell the

32
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: message that when he pulls out without changing their regime,

33
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: he won't have lost, even though if he pulls out

34
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: without changing the regime, he will have lost because all

35
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: he will have done is set around back in its

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: evil doing, but not prevent the evil from recurring. But

37
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: there is no end for this war. There is no

38
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: opening of the strait as of two hours ago. In

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: the speech, there is no.
