1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: President Trump now postpones his threat to strike Iran's power

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: plants for now. On Saturday, President Trump delivered an ultimatum

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: to Iran's theocracy, the Mullahs that still cling to power,

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: saying unless you unblock, unclog, clear the strait of Hormouse

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: within forty eight hours, that would be Monday tonight. He would, then,

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: Trump said, obliterate his words, every single power plant in Iran,

7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: starting with their biggest power plant. In plain English, he

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: was going to destroy and shatter their electric power grid.

9
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: The lights would go out in Tehran and they wouldn't

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: come back on for a long time. No electricity means

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Iran would be shut down, the country brought to its knees.

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: Its economy can't function. Frankly, many civilians could potentially die.

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have access to running water, toilets. I mean

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: everything runs on electricity in the modern age. So, knowing

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: now that Trump is looking to economically potentially cripple them,

16
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: apparently through back channels, the Iyatolas now are willing to negotiate.

17
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Trump came out this morning and said he's now issued

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: a five day postponent on any attacks on these energy

19
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: power plants or the energy grid, because the talks are positive, serious,

20
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: and as he put it, they are putting on the

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: table proposals for a quote total and complete resolution of

22
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the war. So something is going on in which the

23
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Ayatolas are willing to negotiate and make substantial concessions that

24
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Trump thinks it's good enough for him to at least

25
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: give a five day pause or postponement to his planned

26
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: bombing of Iran's power plants and really economically devastating the country.

27
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: My hint, this is what I'm getting at what I suspect,

28
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: my suspicion, and I'm just hinting here at all of this.

29
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: I have no firm information, but what my senses are

30
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: telling me reading between the line, is that according to

31
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: the hints I'm getting, it appears that Trump wants Iran

32
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: to sign away its nuclear program permanently, it's enrichment permanently,

33
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: its ballistic missile program permanently, and to agree to unblock

34
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz, in other words, military surrender and

35
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: reopen the most vital oil energy shipping in the world.

36
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: If the Mullas agree to that, Trump will declare victory

37
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and end the war, which means in plain English, The

38
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Ayatolas will have been defeated, humiliated, degraded, and wounded, but

39
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: they will remain intact. The regime will not be toppled.

40
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: And the question then is will Operation Epic Fury have

41
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: been worth it? Trump is gambling that the answer will

42
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: be yes. The question now is what does MAGA say,

43
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: What does the pro war group, the pro war supporters,

44
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: what do they say? And above all, what does the

45
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: American people say. President Trump believes if he achieves all

46
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: of his military objective and yet the Mullas managed to survive,

47
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: that is enough. I'm not so sure. I think many

48
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: people will look at him and say, you started the job,

49
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you should have finished your job. But time will tell
