1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: President Trump now is awaiting Iran's response to the US 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: peace plan. If the Iranians accept it, the war with 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Iran will be over. And so my question to you, 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: do you agree with the fifteen point plan, Trump's deal? 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: You think it's a good deal? A bad deal? Number one? 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: And number two? Knowing now the potential end game, and 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: again the Iranians have not accepted it, So this thing 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: could go on from where god knows, another week or 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: two or three or four weeks or however long. Do 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: you think the Iran war, the Iran conflict, was it 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: worth it? Six one seven two six six sixty eight 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: sixty eight. Mark in Lowell, Thanks for holding Mark, and welcome. 13 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: Hey Jeff, Hi Mark, I do think the war is 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: worth it or conflict or whatever you want to call it. 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: The thing was to get rid of anything that dealt 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: with nuclear and there's there's not too much more talk 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: going on about that stuff. 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: So well, and Mark, I don't mean to cut you off, 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: but I mean that's I mean, I played the cut earlier, 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: but just to reiterate because it's important. Trump came out 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: yesterday and saying it was a massive for him diplomatic victory, 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: huge concession. He said, the Iranians now have agreed to 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: abandon their nuclear ambitions permanently, that they are going to 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: give up all nuclear weapons, and that they promised to 25 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: never have a nuke. And he says to him that 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: that's what broke the logjam, and that's when he said, Okay, 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: let's make a deal. 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: So keep going, Mark, go ahead. 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: Once to hear. And these idiots over in Iran, the 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: people that are in charge, they have a certain book 31 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: for terrorists, lie to infidels, and that's all you do. 32 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: Look what happened to Hamas in Israel. That's going to 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: happen here in Iran without the you know, American and 34 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Jewish hostages. But what I wanted to get across was 35 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: that they needed to do this. Reparations are to the 36 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 2: United States, not to them. We spent money to get 37 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: rid of these nuclear weapons which they were boasting about 38 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: having and weren't willing to give up. Now they're willing 39 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: to give them up. Like you said, that's the log jam. 40 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: And why are they willing to give them up? And 41 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: why do they expect reparations for something that they started? 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: And more importantly, we should take over that island fill 43 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: up our reserves of oil and take that as partial 44 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: payments automatically and then figure out what's going to be 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: the next payment until we're paid off. Because each bomb 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: doesn't cost a penny each, you know, each nuclear each 47 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: individual out there waiting on the ocean boats are not 48 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 2: being doing it for free. All this stuff costs money. 49 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: And from my perspective, why are we always the ones 50 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: that give them money? 51 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: And we're thirty that's well, almost forty trillion dollars in debt, 52 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: and no, you're right, and look just to be you know, 53 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: to be accurate about it. The Strait of Hormuz. I mean, 54 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: I understand it's the global price of oil that affects us. 55 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: It affects our economy as well, no question. But the 56 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: overwhelming bulk of the oil that goes through the Strait 57 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: of Hormuz, it goes either to Asia or to Europe. 58 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: We get very little of that actual oil. Now, China's 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: reliant upon that oil, Japan, South Korea, the Yeuon, so 60 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the Europeans and the Asians have a powerful vested interest 61 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: in making sure that the Strait of horn Moose is open, free, clear, 62 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: and that oil gets through. So you know, I think 63 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Trump has a very strong case when he says to 64 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: the Asians into the Europeans, hey, you guys got to 65 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: help me clear up the Strait of Hormoose because ultimately 66 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: that oil is heading to your ports and your destinations. Now, 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: it does affect us if oil goes up, oil goes 68 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: up here as well. But we're lucky in the sense 69 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: that we're no longer dependent upon oil from the Persian Gulf, 70 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: from countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Kuwait 71 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: and Bahrain. But look, what I don't like about this 72 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: deal again I'm just being honest, is that it gives 73 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Iron something it never had before, which is joint control 74 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: over the Strait of Hormoose. And that's that's a potential veto. 75 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: Now I understand we're going to be patrolling it as well, 76 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: but that's the other thing. Do we really want to 77 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: patrol the Strait of Hormoz? I mean, before it was 78 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: an international waterway, you know, all you see are just 79 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: oil tankers going back and forth, you know, or cargo 80 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: ships full of oil going back and forth, back and forth. 81 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: Now our navy is going to be enmeshed in patrolling 82 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: the strait of Hormuz for god knows how many years, 83 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: and so some are saying, well, we should charge a toll. 84 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah okay, but you know, I mean you think that, 85 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, you think the Saudis are going to be 86 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: happy with that, You think the Kowites are going to 87 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: be happy with that. So what I'm saying is, look, 88 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: if you've won the war, I'm just stating the obvious. 89 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: This doesn't look like a peace plan that reflects a 90 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: war that's been won. This reflects a peace plan where yeah, 91 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: militarily we've you know, smashed them, We've beaten them up. 92 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: But it looks to me more like President Trump is 93 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: like saying, look, I just want to get out and 94 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, get an off ramp because I got I 95 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: gotta win the midterms. Like this thing, I don't want 96 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: it to go on and on and on. So that 97 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: begs the question who told the president that this thing 98 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: would be over in a week or two? 99 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: Who told him? 100 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: And I think I know who it is, but you know, 101 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: I want to get one hundred percent confirmation before I 102 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: say anything. Who told him? No, no, no, no, it's 103 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a cakewalk. No no, no, no, We're gonna 104 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: knock him out by ten days this thing is done. 105 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: They'll be crying uncle. No, no, no, no, they won't 106 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: dare to block the straight of hor Moose. You mean 107 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: to tell me that Pete Hegseth didn't plan for that? Okay, 108 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: my friends, listen up.

In fact, it broke seven minutes 127 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: ago apparently. Now, Iran's military spokesman, and remember now, the IRGC, 128 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps essentially now are running the regime. 129 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: Whether the Sun is alive or not wounded, the figurehead 130 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: a puppet, it's the IRGC that's pulling all the strings. Oh, 131 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: they're using holographs of the Ayatola. Yeah, who knows if 132 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: he's alive, so they're using holographs of him, so he 133 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: may even be dead. But anyway, the fact is the 134 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: let's just deal with facts. The IRGC is the power. 135 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: They're running the regime now. They're in full, complete and 136 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: utter control. Their spokesman has now come out and said 137 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: that the United States is quote negotiating with itself to 138 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: get out of a strategic their words, not mine, to 139 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: get out of a strategic defeat. 140 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: Now they haven't. 141 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they've said no, but that sounds to 142 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: me as close to a no as you can get. 143 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 144 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: Again, I'm not saying they've rejected the fifteen point plan 145 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: that Trump has sent them. But if someone, you know, 146 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: if their response is you're negotiating with yourself to get 147 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: out of a strategic defeat, that means the IRGC, the regime, 148 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: the theocracy, they believe, if you can believe it, they're 149 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: winning the war, or they think they're holding all the 150 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: cards and that Trump is desperate for a deal. Now 151 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: they may find out that Trump was trying to be nice, because, 152 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: as I said in the opening monologue, the eighty second 153 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Airborne is now being deployed. 154 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: They're on their way. 155 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: The Marine Expeditionary Unit is going to arrive this Friday 156 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: when the deadline ends. That Trump gave them an extension 157 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: on if they don't come up with a deal, a 158 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: diplomatic deal, he will then, he says, obliterate Iran's energy 159 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: power plants and their entire electric grid. In other words, 160 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: the lights will go out all across Iran, and he's 161 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: maybe gonna take carg Island or other strategic islands, or 162 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: maybe even put him in these coastal areas and just 163 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: clear out the Strait of Hormoose on our own. So 164 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: that means that would be a real strategic blow to 165 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: the regime. So again, if I were them, I'd take 166 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: this deal. But you know I'm not a crazy Eyatola. 167 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you six one seven 168 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight. But from what's 169 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: coming out of Tehran, I don't think they're taking this 170 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: fifteen point plant. We shall see, but it doesn't sound good. 171 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. Shelley in New Hampshire. Thanks 172 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: for holding Shelley, and welcome, good morning. 173 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 4: Just thanks again for what you do for our country. 174 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: So what I'm going to say basically has been said 175 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 4: by previous callers, but I'm going to say it perhaps 176 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: a little more directly, concisely, bluntly. I'm afraid that this 177 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 4: fifteen item proposal will end up being just another example 178 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,479 Speaker 4: of our administrations kicking the can down the road, because 179 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: number one Democratic administrations will renig on all of these points, 180 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 4: because today's Democrats seem unable to recognize evil when they 181 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: see it. For example, on the Fox Feed New Seed today, 182 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 4: there's New Jersey Governor mikey Ryl All dressed up in 183 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: hit job, meeting with this a mom that the United's 184 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: government has been trying to deport for a while, just 185 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 4: sucking up to this Imam during a war a fight 186 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 4: against this theocratic evil Num two. The Malas, by killing 187 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 4: forty thousand of their dissenters their freedom fighters, demonstrate that 188 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: they have not changed their not seed like mentality whatsoever. 189 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: The Molas are held on bringing back their twelfth Mhdi 190 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: to rule over everyone. They won't divert from this past. 191 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 4: They like Kamas, will not be beguiled by the thought 192 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: of building five star resorts on the Mediterranean or a 193 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 4: rich Iran trading with the world. We will be letting 194 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: this not sea like theocracy get away with what the 195 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: UN should be all over genocide in Iran committed by 196 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: its government. The murdy murder of the forty thousand Iranian 197 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 4: fighters or freedom fighters three will our adversaries over the 198 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 4: next five or ten years facilitate the transfer of nuclear 199 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: weaponry and long range missiles to this government. And as 200 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: a Molus trade or in this proposal, they'll have the 201 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: money to purchase such things. And lastly, I wish so 202 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 4: much that I could hear what the Israelis are thinking 203 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: about the fifteen point Plan, because it's their country. Most 204 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 4: immediately in Iran's cross here is they're very survival as 205 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 4: a society. The country is at stake if this goes wrong. 206 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: So anyway, Jeff, that's what I had to say. 207 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Well, Shelley, look again, a very thoughtful call. Every time 208 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: you call, it's very thoughtful always and cogent, coherent, insightful. 209 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: I can tell you this. The Israelis are not happy. 210 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: They're not happy, and the reason why they're not happy 211 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: is they want regime change. Netnya, who's been very clear 212 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: about that. It's cabinet's been very clear about that. The Israelis, 213 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: the Israeli military has been very clear about that. They 214 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: want the Mola's gone. They want this regime overthrown and toppled. 215 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: And so they're not happy with this. Now I'm not 216 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: saying they're dead set against it, because for them, a 217 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: big wins and it is a very big win. And 218 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: is this really takes Iran's nuclear program off the table? 219 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, this is not a vague you know, 220 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: look to be fair to Trump, you know, this is 221 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: not Hey, we want a vague promise. No no, no, no, 222 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: no nuclear weapons, no nuclear enrichment whatsoever. We're gonna you know, 223 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna send us all the enrichment that you have 224 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna all be inspected by us. You're gonna send 225 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: it out of Iran. Now, we'll give you a civilian 226 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: nuclear program because you say it's important to you, but 227 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: we're going to control the enrichment. And then we give 228 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: you the enriched uranium to put into a civilian nuclear 229 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: plant power plant. So you know, what it does is 230 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: as I said, only the best way that comes to 231 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: mind is it defangs the regime. It limits their ballistic missiles. 232 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: They can't hit Israel anymore. It's only for defensive, limited purposes. 233 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: So you know, in many ways, Iran's military has been 234 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: effectively new. It's nuclear threat has been utterly now taken 235 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: off the table. Their nuclear ambitions are over, at least 236 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: for now. So I think Trump can you know, look, 237 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: you can definitely go back and say we've accomplished key 238 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: military objectives, there's no question. But look, the Israelis know 239 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: the Iranian leadership. We all know the Iranian leadership, and 240 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, the term snake really comes from them. That's 241 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: the You know that it's a snake, and a snake 242 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: by it's very nature wants to sting you. And they're saying, okay, yeah, 243 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: we're fine, we're good. We're good for a couple of years. Easy, 244 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Mark in Milton. Thanks for holding Mark. 245 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 5: And welcome, Hi Jeff, thanks for taking my call. 246 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 3: My pleasure. Mark. 247 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: Unlike you, I was not well, maybe not as against 248 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 5: the war I was. I can see all of the 249 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 5: possibilities for it, but I can also see all the 250 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 5: possibilities against it. But you know, once the decision was 251 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 5: made to me, this so called deal is straight out 252 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 5: of the Nebl Chamberlain Book of War Resolution. And if 253 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 5: a deal is made that allows these radical they don't 254 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 5: care if they live or die, and obviously they want 255 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 5: everybody else to die. If a deal is made that 256 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 5: allows any one of these people to have any decision 257 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: making ability in that country, then October seventh is just 258 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 5: going to occur over and over and over again. And 259 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 5: this looks like a bigger cut and run than George 260 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 5: Bush did stopping twenty miles you know, okay from Saddam 261 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 5: And how many Americans died in roadside bombs, et cetera. 262 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 5: After that, how's Afghanistan doing? How you know, what a 263 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 5: wonderful place for women for all you liberals. I don't 264 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 5: know if any liberals are listening to the to the show. 265 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 5: But I wonder how. 266 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: Trust me they listen. 267 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: I have the numbers on the shows, uh, the ratings 268 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: of the show, the demographics of people who listen. Liberals 269 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: don't want to admit they listen, but trust me, a 270 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: lot of them listen. But anyway, keep going, Mark, You're 271 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: on a roll. 272 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: So we went into the China Shop and I don't 273 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 5: and we just have no way to pull back without 274 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 5: looking like Vietnam Korea. I mean, I guess we want 275 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: in Panama, but there hasn't. This country needs the victory. 276 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 5: It's stated a purpose it was. You know, how great 277 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 5: would the world have been if Hitler was taken out 278 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 5: before World War Two? And then just think of the 279 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 5: consequence as if they tried to take Hitler out before 280 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 5: World War two and failed. I think they were up 281 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 5: their game a lot faster. And man, how do you 282 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 5: negotiate with these people who are going to lie to 283 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 5: your face? None of this makes any sense. So I'm 284 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: a triple trumper. Any form of not living up to 285 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 5: what the stated purpose of this was is a failure. 286 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 5: And that's that's the end of it. 287 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: Mark. 288 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, what is it that bothers you more? 289 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 1: I know both bother you, but which one bothers you 290 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: more that if they accept the fifteen point plan, if 291 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: that the regime remains impact it survived, in other words, 292 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: they live to fight another day, or that the sanctions 293 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: get completely lifted completely, and that they're able to rejoin 294 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: the international community, trade with the entire world, sell all 295 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: of their oil on the international market. And you know, 296 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: Iran has a ton of oil. I mean, there's no 297 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: question about it. It's got a ton of oil. And 298 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: that essentially they would be flush in oil revenue petro 299 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: dollars to rebuild their country and eventually rearm. 300 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 3: What troubles you more. 301 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: The fact that it leaves the regime in power, or 302 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: that the sanctions are lifted so now economically, the Mullahs 303 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: will have access to more money than ever ever ever, 304 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: because remember since nineteen seventy nine, there's been sanctions. They've 305 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: been a sanctioned country for the last forty seven years. 306 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: This is the big carrot that Trump's putting on the 307 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: table for them and the war. That's why personally, I 308 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: think they're insane if they don't take this deal. But anyway, 309 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: that's their business. And the thing is, you know, for 310 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: forty seven years you've been under sanctions. Now there'll be 311 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: no sanctions. So I'm just curious what bothers you more. 312 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: That the regime survives or that the sanctions are. 313 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 5: Lifted is one and the same, because one follows the other. 314 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 5: And we already know what they're going to do with 315 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 5: the money. You know, maybe great, maybe they don't rebuild 316 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 5: a nuclear program, but we know they will. There's mountainous 317 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: regions that they can do it in, and they know 318 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 5: better now that they have to do it even more 319 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 5: in secret. There will be so many October sevenths that occur. 320 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 5: They are going to be able to fund every radical 321 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 5: terrorist group, Muslim terror, I got to say it, radical 322 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 5: Muslim terrorist group around this world. And with the with 323 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 5: the sanctions lift, the Americans are we as Americans, are 324 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 5: not going to get any relief out of oil revenues 325 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 5: because I think we should get paid back for this 326 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 5: and certainly not rebuild. I wouldn't mind American companies going 327 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 5: in there into Iran and having an economic presence, which 328 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 5: in and of itself helps rebuild, but certainly no money 329 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 5: coming directly out of the American coppers. But that to me, 330 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 5: that question, I mean if this fifteen point plan is accepted, 331 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 5: it's one and the same. The Molas stay in power 332 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 5: and they get sanctions lifted, so they're equally horrible. 333 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: You know, Mark, Look, I think again that's why my 334 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: prediction I could be wrong. I don't claim to have 335 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: a crystal ball. I think those whack jobs are going 336 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: to turn to deal down. At least that's the rhetoric 337 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm hearing from Tehran, from everything I'm reading in the 338 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: last half an hour, So they think they have us 339 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: on the run. I'm like, are you see we do 340 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: they really well? They think they've won the war. You know, 341 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, that there's pressure on us 342 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: diplomatically to end it, Trump politically to end it. 343 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: I get it. 344 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: But you know, honestly, Mark, if you listen to them, 345 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: you would think that they bombed nine thousand targets, that 346 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: they wiped out our navy, they wiped out our air force, 347 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: they took out our air defenses. And I'm like, guys, 348 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: your army, your military is being ground to dust. But anyway, Mark, 349 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: we'll see next forty eight hours. Pivotal Pivotal, Mark, As always, 350 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: thank you so much for that call. Annie on the 351 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: South Shore. Thanks for holding Annie, and welcome morning. 352 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 6: Jeff. Can you hear me? 353 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: Okay, I can hear you. Can you hear me? 354 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 5: Oh? 355 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 6: I can hear that wonderful voice of yours Mark, So 356 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 6: my thunder, I agree with everything Mark said, except here's 357 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 6: my view on it. Jeff, don't stop. Finish the job. 358 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 6: And the other thing is, you're making deals with Iran. 359 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 4: We don't know who's in charge. 360 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 6: How do you make deals with somebody you don't know 361 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 6: is really in charge? 362 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: Well, Annie, to be fair to Trump, and I hear 363 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: what you're saying, in other words, topple the regime, you know, 364 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: go all in and finish it. But they they're negotiating 365 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: now with the leader. I can give you his name. 366 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: He's an obscure guy, but he was the former commander 367 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, former mayor, a police chief. 368 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: He's now the basically the House speaker. It would be 369 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: sort of like Mike Johnson. He's the head of the 370 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: Iranian Parliament and he's known as a bit of a 371 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: political opportunist. And apparently now he's negotiating on behalf of 372 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: the regime. That's who Trump's people are negotiating with through Pakistan, Turkey, 373 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: and Egypt. But that's the guy who's going back and 374 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: forth with JD. Vans, with Marco Rubio, with Steve Whitkoff, 375 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner. In fact, that's who Witkoff and Kushner are 376 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: directly through an intermediory, but that's who they're dealing with. 377 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: So and Trump thinks he's sort of like Iran's Delsi Rodriguez, 378 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, the number two under Maduro, who is a 379 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: bit more pragmatic and flexible. So Trump says he's made 380 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: some concessions on oil and gas in the Strait of Hormouse. 381 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 3: He called it a big gift. 382 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: This is what he said yesterday, that he's letting some 383 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: of these ships, these oil containers go through to help 384 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: ease the price of oil around the world. And Trump 385 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: said to him, I like that, that's a very good 386 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: first step. And then he apparently this Iranian parliamentary leader, 387 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: the leader of Iran's parliament, also said, okay, we're also 388 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: going to give up our nuclear weapons. So he's made 389 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: some major concessions that Trump feels I have enough here 390 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: to put together a final deal that I can declare victory. 391 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: And the American people will be happy with. But what 392 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: I hear from you, Annie, is you don't want this deal. 393 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: You want this war to be prosecuted to the end, 394 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: and the mola's overthrown. 395 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 6: Correct, one hundred percent correct, because you know why everybody's 396 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 6: talking about this war, and you know the midterms and 397 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 6: what have you. We don't decide a war on mid terms. 398 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 6: I mean, what kind of a country are we? We 399 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 6: went in to help the people of Iran, How is 400 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 6: that going to change their lives? That's not going to 401 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 6: change their lives. We already lost thirteen military personnel. And 402 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 6: you know what, if this war's going to be fought, 403 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 6: then bring them mighty, the United States in and for 404 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 6: once then for all, get it done. 405 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Annie, thank you very very much for that call. Six 406 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: one seven two, six, six sixty eight sixty eight is 407 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: the number. 408 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask all of you. 409 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: It is, without question, now the issue of the day, 410 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: the issue of the hour. President Trump now says that 411 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: there is a potential peace plan. He has now offered 412 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: a deal to the Ayatolas or whatever the regime, and 413 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: that it includes the following. They have to give up 414 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: their nuclear capabilities completely, no nuclear weapons, no enrichment, no 415 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: ability to enrich uranium whatsoever, to limit their ballistic missile 416 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: program to basically short range missiles self defense purposes. They 417 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: will not be able to target Israel or their neighbors, 418 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: forget Europe. 419 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 3: And they must. 420 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: Stop all funding of terrorist proxies in exchange for this. 421 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: So basically the military, the military neutering of Iran in 422 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: exchange for that, Trump says the regime will remain intact, 423 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: they will survive, All sanctions will be lifted, they will 424 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: be allowed to rejoin the international community, and there will 425 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: be joint control over the Strait of Hormouse between the 426 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: United States and Iran. Like the deal? Don't like the deal? 427 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: Is it the best that we can get? 428 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: Now? 429 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: Is Trump trying to salvage the best out of this situation? 430 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Would you accept the deal? Would you advise the president 431 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 1: to do the deal or to reject it? Or not 432 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: do the deal? Six one seven two six x sixty 433 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight. Okay, we finally made contact with her, 434 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: joining me now, doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place. 435 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: Grace wotto full disclosure, my wonderful wife and man that 436 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: I marry up Grace straight out of the Gate deal, 437 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: no deal. 438 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 5: Jeff. 439 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 7: First of all, I want to congratulate you on your 440 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 7: incredible coverage ever since this war has begun. You've shown 441 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 7: every step of the way that you're such a class act, 442 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 7: not only giving all of the information but allowing everybody 443 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 7: with opposing points of view to speak. So honestly, it's 444 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 7: one of your finest hours now regarding this this I've 445 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 7: been saying the whole time I've been listening to you, go, Okay, 446 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 7: can we get door three? 447 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: Here? 448 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 7: Can I get door three? Deal or no deal? How 449 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 7: about door three? This is what I really want to 450 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 7: say this morning, Jeff. So what I want now is 451 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 7: I want Pete hex Seth, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and 452 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 7: Donald Trump to shoot up and go right now and 453 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 7: clean the strain of orboos for us, because you know what, 454 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 7: it's very, very easy to send other people to die. 455 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 7: But if you're going to make a decision like this, 456 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 7: contrary to everything that our intelligence community told them, contrary 457 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 7: to what many people in MAGA told them, You're gonna 458 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 7: make a completely idiotic decision. Now you own this problem 459 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 7: big time, and we've already lost thirteen American service members. 460 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 7: They were told by the intelligence community two things. The 461 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 7: people of Iran are not strong enough to overtake the Mullas. 462 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,479 Speaker 7: So everybody that's saying that it's the Iranians people's fault 463 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 7: don't understand that all our intelligence agencies already told the 464 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 7: President and anybody that could listen that it wasn't going 465 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 7: to happen. That they also told them that the Strait 466 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 7: of Hormuz were going to be blocked. And now this administration, 467 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 7: who actually is being led by an MBASO at the 468 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 7: Department of Defense, Pete Hexsas, who I set from the start, 469 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 7: is completely incapable of running. The Department of Defense made 470 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: no plans for the two most basic contingencies, that the 471 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 7: Iranian people were not going to overtake the Molas, that 472 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 7: they're not strong enough now, and that the Street of 473 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 7: Amos was going to be blocked. So now they cost 474 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 7: the largest oil shortage in world history. This is worse 475 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 7: than anything that ever happened in the nineteen seventies. They 476 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 7: caused it, and thirteen American service members are dead, two 477 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 7: hundred almost two hundred and ninety American service members are wounded. 478 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 7: And you know what they want to do now? They 479 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 7: are amassing a massive, massive contingencies of honor service members 480 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 7: to go and clean up their DNYA, because that's what 481 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 7: this is right now, this is DNYA that they created. 482 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 7: And let's not make any mistake about it. 483 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: Grace, I understand you're very passionate about this. Let me 484 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: ask you, though, what do you say to the argument, 485 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: these are the Mollahs, this is the Islamic Republic of Iran. 486 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: It's in nineteen seventy nine, their very inception, they have 487 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: been at war with the United States, at war with Israel, 488 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: at war with their neighbors, at war with the West, 489 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: and that they have been building up a clandestine nuclear 490 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: weapons program for decades, and that no responsible president, when 491 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: given the possibility to take out the Mullahs and finally 492 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: obliterate their program, shouldn't take it. Trump saw the opportunity, 493 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: he and Benjamin net Nyahu, and they acted. And whether 494 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with the war, their nuclear program 495 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: is gone. 496 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: It's gone. 497 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: They cannot, in any nuclear way, threaten to wipe Israel 498 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: off the map, as they've done for many years. They 499 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: can't put a ballistic missile with a nuke that could 500 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: hit Europe in other words, yes, the regime may survive. 501 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: You're right, and Pete Hegseth has a lot to answer for. 502 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: I agree with you that the planning of the war 503 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: on his part was a disaster. But in the end, 504 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: militarily Trump achieved his goals. The Mullahs will not be 505 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,479 Speaker 1: able to have any nukes and they will not have 506 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: the ballistic missiles to threaten their neighbors. 507 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 7: What say you, Jeff listened to me in the election. 508 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 7: He does not have a mandate to do this. First 509 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 7: of all, he doesn't have a mandate to take the 510 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 7: country to war. He didn't have a mandate to go 511 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 7: and do this at all. And he has yet to 512 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 7: show us I mean, unless you have Ratcliffe and Telsey Gobbert, 513 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 7: who lied to the public for two days under oath. 514 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 7: The intelligence community had already told him that the program 515 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 7: was obliterated. So he doesn't have an electoral mandate, which 516 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 7: means that essentially he's been violating international law and American law. 517 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 7: And now he has been using the word war. So 518 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 7: he has taken us to war over something that is 519 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 7: not proven. Look, he's got a credibility problem right now 520 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 7: because his own intelligence community is contradicting what he's saying. 521 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 7: And there's another factor to consider right now, Jeff, if 522 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 7: you are Vladimir Putin, you're smiling from ear to ear 523 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 7: at this situation. And what am I gonna do? If 524 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 7: I'm Vladimir Putin, I'm telling the Iranians, let me coach 525 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 7: you on how to play the Americans. Now you see 526 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 7: giant and Witcock coming. I can run circles around Jarant Witcock. 527 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 7: Let me teach you how. And that's what's going on now. 528 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 7: The Russians are sharing intelligence with the Iranians. The Russians 529 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 7: are gaining billions of dollars because now we have to 530 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 7: lift the oil sanctions, and the Russians are gonna teach 531 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 7: the Uranians how to run circles around the completing competence 532 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 7: and negotiating for the Trump administration. The Vladimir Putin has 533 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 7: been running circles around around the American negotiators since Trump 534 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 7: got into office. And it's the same too, morons that 535 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 7: we're sending now to negotiate with iran and Vladimir Putin 536 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 7: is coaching them at what they all they have to 537 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 7: do is listen, pretend to negotiate, and string it along 538 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 7: as long as possible because guess what this press. It 539 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 7: went to war without the support of his own people. 540 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 7: And that's what's squeezing Trump. If he had gone to 541 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 7: war with the support of the people, he would he 542 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 7: would have been in a position of strength. But everybody 543 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 7: around the world knows that he's got to talk a 544 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 7: clock ticking because the people don't support the war. So 545 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 7: everybody around the world knows. String it along, warm Patrician, 546 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 7: the guy is now in a box that he put 547 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 7: himself in grace. 548 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: We've got less than two minutes. Will Has Trump lost 549 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: the midterms? In your view over this war? Has this 550 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: war cost him and the Republicans the midterms? You said 551 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 1: the war is unpopular. A poll show it's maybe fifty 552 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: to fifty, But you're right, there is strong opposition to 553 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: the war, that is true. And gas prices are up, 554 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: energy is up, inflation is coming back. I know his 555 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: inner circle is very worried about the political fallout with that. 556 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: Has this now cost Trump the midterms? 557 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 7: Jeff? It's so damaging, honestly, and that's why I respect 558 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 7: what you're doing, because you're doing everything you can to 559 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 7: try to keep everybody together. But look, the anti war 560 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 7: people are extremely upset. And they're upset precisely because many 561 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 7: of us are triple Trumpers, right, we're triple Trumpers. We 562 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 7: voted for him three times, and we voted for the 563 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 7: focus to be on America, and so we're extremely upset. 564 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 7: And it's going to take people like you to get 565 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 7: everybody who's upset to go to the polls and help 566 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 7: win the midterms because he's got big problems now, lost 567 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 7: the Independence, upset a key faction of his base, and 568 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 7: he seems to be in a quackmire. And now almost 569 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 7: anything that he does is not going to be good, 570 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 7: and he unfortunately owns it. And one of the reasons 571 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 7: he owns it is that he has somebody completely incompetent 572 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 7: at the Department of Defense who gave him very bad advice. 573 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 7: And he's surrounded by neo khn hawks that are telling 574 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 7: him go go go Lindsey Granny, I'm just said, go ahead, 575 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 7: send them Marines. You know what. So we did it 576 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 7: with EWO GiMA. Let's do it again. Sure, we lost 577 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 7: several seven thousand, seven thousand of our service members in 578 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 7: EWO GEMA. You know, look at the beautiful faces of 579 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 7: the men and women that we lost thirteen American service 580 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 7: members are already gone, gone forever, and for what For 581 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 7: shady planning and for a war that the American people 582 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 7: never voted for. This is completely unacceptable. 583 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 3: Tell me how you really feel. 584 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Jeff. I'm not as plessy as you. I'm 585 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 7: just not as closed. 586 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: I can see you're very passionate and you're very hot 587 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: under the collar, Terada. All right, Grace, thank you so 588 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: much as always, and we'll talk to you next time. 589 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: Next week, same time, same place, all right. Gray says 590 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: this is now turning into a debacle and that this 591 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: is going to cost Trump the midterms.
