1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: A white watch and whites Trump and his comments on

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the situation in the Middle East. He's done a media

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: staying up a short time ago. Katie, for sure, are

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: US correspondent, Well, that's Caddy. What's he saying.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: Well, he's not doing anything to end this speculation as

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: to whether or not the US is going to go

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: in and help Israel and its strikes in Iran. He

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: basically said, look, I may or I may not. Nobody

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: knows what I'm going to do. He suggested it wasn't

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: too late for negotiations. Still, but the Iran Supreme Leader

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: has dismissed Donald Trump's calls for an unconditional surrender, and

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: he has warned that the Americans should know that any

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by quote irreparable damage.

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: So we still don't have a clear idea of what

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: the US president intends to do, but we do know

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: that it's causing some rifts visions within his Republican party,

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: who generally up until this point in his second presidency,

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: have been completely in lockstep with him, supporting everything that

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: he's done, But here we see some of his right

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: wing cheerleaders like Tucker Carson, who used to be on

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: Fox News and Marjorie Taylor Green coming out and saying

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: that by going into this Iranian war, it would mean

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump was turning his back on his America

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: First policy. He promised in his inauguration that he would

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: not be starting wars, he would be ending them, and

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: so this would go really against that. Then you've got

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: others like Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz who want

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: him to go forward and join as well in the

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: fight against Iran.

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400
