1 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Guitars. Nobody could have signed. Think you would have had 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: that threat. Nobody could have had. You couldn't have peace 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: in the minutes. So now we may have to take 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: it a step further, or we may not. Maybe we're 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna make a deal with You're gonna be finding out 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: over the next probably ten days. But this meeting today 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: is proof with determined leadership, nothing is impossible. 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: That seems like pretty clear Trump style, no hiding, direct ultimatum. 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: Iran needs to understand that under Trump, there's going to 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: be no evasiveness. He says ten days. When he says something, 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: it most likely is going to happen. He is ready. 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: However, the world does not need another war. 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: Right now, You've got the US Secretary of State and 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: the UK foreign officials set to meet in Washington. They're 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: going to discuss military cooperation, also the future of bases 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 2: because right now the UK reportedly has not granted permission 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: for US forces to use Diego Garcia or our AF 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: Fairfield in England for any military action now. Also on 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: the raid our stuff we're looking at this morning, the 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: Illinois Governor JD. Pritzker, he said the Bears told his 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: staff today that their statement was not some confirmation that 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 2: they're moving to Indiana, and so to. 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 4: Have a statement put out by the Bears, now they're 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 4: saying to us that that statement is not some confirmation 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: that they're moving to Indiana, but rather that Indiana had 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 4: asked them to say that, you know, they're going to 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 4: move forward with the negotiations in Indiana. 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 2: So we're looking at getting Ray Cordo Passi from WGN 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: on with us, and I think it'll be interesting to 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: see the different reporting that's going on in Indiana versus 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: what they're saying in Chicago. 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: We also learned that z is going to headline the 33 00:01:46,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: snake pit at the INDY five hundred. Yea, trumping the beat, 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: that's what he does. Is complicated. 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 5: This year, we're going to the snake pit. I've never gone. 36 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 5: Every year I talk about how I want to go 37 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 5: to the snake put it in the NDE five hundred, 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 5: we've never done it. This is the year we go. 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's go back to Trump and Iran. 40 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: He said the world will find out whether conflict will 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: break out with Iran in the next ten days. He 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: set this ten day window possible escalation or possible deal. 43 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: Either way, the markets in the region are going to 44 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: be watching closely. 45 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 5: What Trump has really struggled on with this talk of 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 5: potentially a strike on Iran, He hasn't done a really 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 5: good job of explaining the why, or at least getting 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 5: the American public to believe his why, because right now, 49 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 5: pretty much what he said, and Jade Vance has said 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 5: this too, we cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Okay, 51 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 5: that's a good statement, but I thought we bombed Iran's 52 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 5: nuclear facilities last year. 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: We did and it was. 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 5: Totally destroyed, in Trump's words, And we've done a pretty 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: good job for the last forty years of keeping Iran 56 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 5: from getting a nuclear weapons so far without attacks on 57 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 5: them except for the ones last year. So I think 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 5: that that's what Trump really needs to needs to kind 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: of work on his messaging a little bit. Why do 60 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 5: we need to attack Iran and why do we need 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 5: to do it now? But I will say to use 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: a sports analogy, winning cures everything. So think about the 63 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: recent action in Venezuela with Maduro and we went in 64 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 5: there and look, that was a again keeping the sports 65 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 5: analogies going, that was a sweep. That was like winning 66 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 5: four games to nothing in a seven game series. It 67 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 5: was like Michael Jordan playing grade schoolers. We didn't lose 68 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: any equipment, we didn't lose any American lives. It was 69 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 5: a home run. Do you think Venezuela and the public 70 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: reaction would be the same if we got a bunch 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 5: of helicopters shut down and we lost a bunch of 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 5: men and women from our American military, it would have 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 5: gone much differently. So winning cures everything. So if Trump 74 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 5: wants to do this and we end up attacking Iran 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 5: and he's done a poor job and explaining why to us, 76 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 5: if we go forward with this, it better work, and 77 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 5: it better worked to our expectations. Take it all the 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 5: way back to the Gulf War in two thousand and 79 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 5: three when George W. Bush was president. Look if all 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 5: of a sudden we had done to Saddam Hussein, but 81 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 5: we did to Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. If we had 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 5: just gone in there and captured him, nobody lost their lives. 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 5: Iraq turned around. It was all of a sudden, worked 84 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 5: one hundred percent and no Americans were killed in the 85 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 5: Iraq War. We'd be looking at George W. 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: Bush. 87 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: It was as one of the greatest presidents of all time. Today, No, 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 5: it went the other way. It was a disaster. We 89 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 5: were bogged down, We lost over ten thousand American military 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: men and women, and George W. Bush isn't viewed very 91 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 5: highly today. So if you're not going to explain the 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 5: why and sell the American people on the why and 93 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: why now as it relates to Iran, if Trump moves forward, 94 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 5: it better go very very well. 95 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: Well. He needs to explain the why to the American people. Unfortunately, 96 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: to the military, they don't get the why. They get 97 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: the order. 98 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 5: They get the why or they they got to do 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 5: what the President says, whether they get the why or not. Yeah. 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: Iran has also warned that they will respond decisively to 101 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: any military aggression. They stress that they don't want war, 102 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: but they will defend themselves. Donald Trump said that if 103 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: Iran doesn't reach an agreement with the United States on 104 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: its nuclear program, bad things will happen. 105 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: Now is the time for Iran to join us on 106 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: a path that will complete what we're doing. And if 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: they join us, that'll be great. If they don't join us, 108 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: that'll be great too, but it'll be a very different path. 109 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region, 110 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: and they must make a deal or if that doesn't happen, 111 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: I maybe can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, 112 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: but bad things will happen if it doesn't. 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: He's always hedging his bets. It might be maybe what 114 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: happened simply, but you showing military readiness. 115 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: That is a smart thing to do because it does 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: put some real pressure on Iran. You got to keep 117 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: those US forces in position, make it clear that the 118 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: military can act whenever the call is made. 119 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Trump has won so far during this second 120 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 5: president presidency as it relates to international affairs. Look, Maduro 121 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 5: in Venezuela was a huge win. The tariff so far, 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: probably at least a little bit of a win, especially 123 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: based on the expectations the economists in April. We're talking 124 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 5: about how inflation's going to shoot through the roof and 125 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 5: unemploymental rise and the economy's going to go in the toilet. Yeah, 126 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 5: that really hasn't happened yet. Greenland ended up being a 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 5: win despite the fact that he threatened to invade Greenland. 128 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 5: I think that Trump got what he want. So Trump's 129 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 5: been I don't want to say lucky, but he's won 130 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 5: at all of these foreign policy entanglements that we've been 131 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 5: in since he came into office last year. This one 132 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 5: makes me very nervous. Iran is not Venezuela. Iran has 133 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 5: a one million person standing army. Venezuela had about one 134 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 5: hundred and twenty. 135 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: Five thousand, A little different. 136 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 5: This is totally different. Iran for decades has patrolled the 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 5: Persian Gulf, the Straight of Horror moves. There's been skirmishes. 138 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 5: They do a very good job, you know, mining the 139 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: Straight of Horror Moves and the Persian Gulf. They do 140 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: a very good job. When it comes to their military 141 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 5: and their swift boats. They have an incredible amount of 142 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 5: very cheap drones that can overwhelm our defense systems. The 143 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: United States military attacking Iran makes me extraordinarily nervous. I 144 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 5: just don't see a scenario where it goes as well 145 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: as what happened in Venezuela. 146 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: So when he was on Air Force One, Donald Trump said, 147 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: We're gonna get a deal one way or the other. 148 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: We're either gonna get a deal or it's gonna be 149 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: unfortunate for them. Now, Ted Kruz. He's just biggest warhawk ever. 150 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: He said that the Iola and the Mulas they have 151 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: a choice. Either accept it and leave, or you will 152 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: be forcibly removed. 153 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 6: Donald Trump gave the exact same offer to Maduro. You 154 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 6: can leave, you can live a life of wealth and 155 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 6: opulence away from power. And Maduro told Trump no. And 156 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 6: on January third of this year, we sent the Delta 157 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 6: force down there. We apprehended him. He's going to be prosecuted. 158 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 6: Nicholas Maduro will die in prison. The Iotola and the 159 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 6: Mullas have a choice. Do you want to be forcibly 160 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 6: removed or do you want to accept the opportunity to leave. 161 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 6: I hope the Iatola has more sense than Norieg and 162 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 6: Maduro had. 163 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: So. Of course, yesterday you had the initial Board of 164 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Peace meeting. Of course that's aimed at coordinating peace and 165 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: efforts reconstruction starting with Gaza, but it's taking on a. 166 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: Whole new life. 167 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: You had forty eight countries attending the inaugural meeting and 168 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: they talked about rebuilding Gaza, but they also talk about 169 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: replacing the UN pretty much, this is the new UN. 170 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 5: Well, Trump's trying to make it the new UN now 171 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 5: he's gonna have a hard time doing that. Look, the 172 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 5: UN is a total dumpster fire. It's a disaster. It 173 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 5: has gone way beyond what it's charter intended right after 174 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 5: World War Two. And look, not gonna see me doing 175 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 5: any defending of the UN. But Trump's got a big 176 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 5: hill to climb here because he's asking any countries that 177 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 5: want to be part of this to put up a 178 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 5: million dollars or I'm sorry, a billion dollars to get 179 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 5: a permanent seat on this and so far, you know, 180 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 5: a lot of our allies are not on board. France, Germany, 181 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: United Kingdom all not on board. So he's gonna need 182 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: a lot of countries to be part of this to 183 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: give it some legitimacy. If he wants this to be 184 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 5: a reasonable alternative to the UN, It's nowhere near there 185 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 5: right now. 186 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: It does seem like he's trying to take the lead 187 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: on peace and rebuilding, shows some serious global leadership, but 188 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: there is this conflict. On one hand, he's saying Iran, 189 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: come come to the table, make a deal or else, 190 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: and then on the other hand he's saying, Board of Peace. 191 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: I'm the President of peace. So which one is it? 192 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? 193 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: Well, Trump loves to have everything both ways, and he 194 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 5: certainly can't having all options open. He campaigned on being 195 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 5: the peace president, and that certainly hasn't been the case. 196 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: He launched that military strike against Iran and their nuclear components. 197 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 5: Last year, we had the raid in Venezuela. Trump has 198 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 5: been anything but the peace president. But that won't stop 199 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 5: him from saying that he can say both things. 200 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: It's not always hedges. 201 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: It's Donald Trump. He can get away with being contradictory, 202 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: and yes, you're exactly right, he's been very contradictory as 203 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 5: it relates to the peace president.
