1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has warned Iran time is running out for

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: a nuclear deal, this as there is US military build

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: up in the golf. Iran responded by saying they refuse

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: direct talks with the US unless President Trump stops issuing threats.

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: The Foreign Minister of Iran said that talks must be

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: fair and equitable and cannot start with threats. Iran said

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: they're ready for negotiations and also warfare if necessary.

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how ready Iran is going to

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: be for warfare. I mean, Israel and the United States

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: pretty much took out a vast majority of their air

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: defense systems and other military capability not too long ago.

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: But this is part of it. Was interesting. Donald Trump

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: gets a lot of criticism for the way he handles

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: things on the world stage and his geopolitical outlook on

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: certain items. But I guarantee you that the Mullahs and

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: the leaders in Iran are thinking a lot about what

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: happened with President Maduro in Venezuela just a few short

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: weeks ago. And so that is what, you know, the

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: benefits that the United States and Trump gets from that

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: taking of Maduro in Venezuela is going to translate to

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: other geopolitical aspects of it. You know, there was talk,

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, two weeks ago when there were a lot

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: of you know, uprisings that were happening in Iran and

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: a lot of violence taking place there, that maybe that

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: was the right time for the United States to strike Iran,

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: but we really didn't have the forces that we needed

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: in the Middle East at the time. That's changed now

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: Trump has sent the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. It

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: is now in the Persian Gulf along with its entire

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: strike group. Because remember when American aircraft carriers go somewhere,

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: they don't go anywhere by themselves. They go along with

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: destroyers and submarines and all sorts of other gunboats and

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: ships that are part of it. So the US now

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: has the firepower in Iran. It'll be the big question

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: is if Donald Trump wants to pull the trigger or not.

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: This is the US position. President Trump has threatened military

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: action to halt Iran's nuclear program, also limit its ballistic

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: missile capabilities, and also and support to regional militias and

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 1: officials they say they are considering options for an attack,

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: but no final decision has been made. You've got countries

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: like Saudi Arabia, Cutter, UAE, and Turkey. They are urging

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the US to reconsider military action, and also they are

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: urging Iran to engage in negotiations. Here is the Secretary

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: of Defense, actually it's the Secretary of War now, Pete Hegseth.

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: He said, the Pentagon is ensuring Iran. What's going on there.

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: They've got all the options to make a deal.

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: When President Trump said we're not getting a nuclear Iran,

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: you won't have a nuclear bomb, he meant it. And

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: we said those B two s halfway around the world,

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: and they never noticed. When he said we're not going

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: to tolerate traffic drugs anymore in our hemisphere, we treat

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: them like the Al Qaeda of the Western hemisphere. He

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: meant it, and we're executing that. When you said, mister President,

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: we're securing the border, the military was proud to do

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: their part alongside Homeland Security to do that same thing

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: with Iran right now, ensuring that they have all the

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: options to make a deal. They should not pursue nuclear capabilities.

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: So we will be prepared to deliver whatever this president

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: expects of the War Department.

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: He's ready to go. Of course, military action there will

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: spark regional instability.

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: It sure will. But I mean, this is again one

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: of the benefits of what Donald Trump in Israel, did

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: you know last year by sending those B two bombers

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities and again capturing Maduro in

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: Venezuela in such a dramatic fashion as he did, that

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: is going to look. The fact of the matter is

68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: that the discombobulator with the discombobulator, which is the worst

69
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: name for any piece of military equipment ever invented. But

70
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: this has got to have the leaders of Iran kind

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: of checking themselves because so much about foreign policy and

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: bluster is about bluster. I mean, people thought, you know,

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: President Putin from Russia thought that he could take over

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Ukraine in a couple of days, and now it's been

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: four years. Nobody's really scared to run, sure right now,

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: but people are scared of the United States based on

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: a couple of things. The military actions that we've taken

78
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: that have taken place recently, and the fact that Donald

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: Trump is so unpredictable, and that certainly gives us a

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: huge leg up when it comes to these negotiations.

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: He does use that to his advantage. To scare people.

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you have no idea what Donald Trump was going

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: to do. He was talking about invading Greenland three weeks ago.

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: Now that didn't happen, and he ended up getting what

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: he wanted anyway. But it's it's so difficult to know

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump is being blustery about and and and

87
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: and just for negotiations, and what he might really end

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: up doing
