1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go right back to Steve in Boca Raton, Florida. Steve, 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: you didn't even finish your point. And I've already got 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: people texting me saying they love what you're saying. So 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: Steve now says it's time for the United States to 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: pull out of NATO. I agree one thousand percent. And 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: NATO is yesterday. It's antiquated, it's outdated, and we need 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: a new alliance system to deal with the realities of today, 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: especially radical Islam. And Steve, I got to say, I 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: know you're talking about a new alliance with Israel, Romania, 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: Poland some of these Eastern European countries, Russia maybe ultimately, 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: and that you look at Italy, you look at France, 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: you look at Germany, you look at Britain. They have 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: such massive Muslim populations. Now France and Britain in particular 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons, they have a nuclear arsenal. One day 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: we could see the prospect of an Islamized France or 16 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: an Islamized Britain being obviously a nuclear power with nuclear weapons, 17 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: and that is an absolutely fascinating it's a chilling point, 18 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: it's a frightening point. But it's also I think a 19 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: point that needs to be considered because you can tell Maloney, 20 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: for example, and that leader in Spain. Both of them 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: are very worried about a massive Muslim backlash at home, 22 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: and that's why they won't even give us the use 23 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of their bases for Operation Epic Fury. So, Steve, you're 24 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: on a roll. Please pick up where you left off 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: and tell us why you think Russia is so important 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: in this new alliance. 27 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Steve. 28 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: Much Jeff, Thank you very much, Jeff, Jeff. These countries 29 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: are appeasers, and you know what happens to appeasers, They 30 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: get run over. Our biggest enemy is not Russia, it's China. 31 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Stalin was 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: an ally of the United States. Even though he was 33 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: not a good person, he was instrumental in helping us 34 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 3: defeat the Nazis. China is our biggest enemy. The Muslims 35 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: are right there. We need to form these new alliances. 36 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: We should throw a bone, build a credit with Putin. 37 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: We should back out of Ukraine, kiss off all of 38 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: these European countries, let him go to Hell, and make 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: Putin realize that we can be his friends economically, etc. 40 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: We need to tie in with him. Okay, we tie 41 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: in with him. That's going to create big problems for 42 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: China and allow us. I don't believe he's a big 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: fan of the Muslims. It will allow us to deal 44 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: with the European problem that's going to come down the road. 45 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: That's all I have to say. And I'm receptive to 46 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: anything you think about. 47 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Well, Steve, I think it's fascinating. Let me just ask 48 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: you this. I get the sense what you're saying is 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: the real problem is not Europe. I think what you're saying, 50 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in your mouth, it's 51 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: really Western Europe, right. I think you're saying that Western 52 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Europe is now so inundated with Muslim migrants millions, tens 53 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: of millions, and France and Britain, as you said, are right, 54 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: they're nuclear. You know, they have nuclear weapons, they have 55 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: their nuclear powers that we have to look at the 56 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: chilling possibility that one day the Muslims will have the 57 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: bomb in Europe. But if you look at Eastern Europe, 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: because they have not allowed Muslims to come in, their 59 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: attitude is very different. Whether it's Poland you mentioned Romania, Bulgaria, 60 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, You've got Croatia, Serbia, these 61 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: other countries. So I think what you're saying is Eastern Europe, yes, 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: Russia potentially, yes, Israel obviously, some other countries, but that 63 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: Western Europe now is really no longer a friend or 64 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: an ally of the United States. 65 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: Correct, So Saudi Arabia and any Muslim country that wants 66 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: to join that alliance as well, it's important you get 67 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: them in the mix. And you're one hundred percent right, 68 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: it's inevitable. Look down the road ten twenty years, they're 69 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: gonna be running England. They're gonna have access to the bombs. 70 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: You gotta deal with China. You need Russia as an ally. 71 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: Let's wake up America. You need to make them an ally. 72 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: And it's a simple fit. Get the hell out of Ukraine, 73 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: give them a credit, let's begin negotiating. Jeff, I gotta go. 74 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: I gotta play some golf. At about five minutes. 75 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Well, have a great Dame of Golf, Steve, thank you 76 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: so much for that call. No this and I think 77 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: this is what Trump and Rubio and JD. Vans are seeing. 78 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: They're saying, no, we're we're trapped. Now it's in a 79 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: different time, in a different era that's now over, and 80 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, and we're seeing it. This This is not 81 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: the NATO of forty fifty sixty years ago, there's no question. 82 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: And that's why Trump gave that interview. And it's gonna revert. 83 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: It's already reverberating all over the world where you know, 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: he openly said I'm seriously more than seriously considering I'm 85 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: just gonna pull out a NATO. And you know, and 86 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Rubio as well, now obviously, and Trump is supporting him, saying, look, 87 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to reassess this relationship after the war 88 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: with Iran is over in two to three weeks, because 89 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: clearly you see it as a one way street. And 90 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: for us, no, you know, we're done uncle. The days 91 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: of being Uncle Sucker are over. Just you know, forget it. 92 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: It's just we can't afford it. Six one seven two 93 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay, let me ask you. 94 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: President Trump will address the country tonight. He's going to 95 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: say the war will be over in two to three weeks. 96 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: We're leaving no matter what. And it looks like he's 97 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: going to say, we're not sure, but that's what it 98 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: seems that he is willing to leave the Strait of 99 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: harmuse blockaded and blocked. Okay, I want you to listen 100 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: now to President Trump. He was in the Oval Office 101 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: yesterday in one of the most important press conferences of 102 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: the entire war. And he says, look, we're negotiating with 103 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: the Iranians through an intermediary. It's really Pakistan. And he said, 104 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: we've achieved our goal no nuclear weapons. We've done it, 105 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: and it'll be at least fifteen years before we believe 106 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: they can reconstitute a nuclear weapons program. And so he says, 107 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, it's time for us to leave. 108 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: And I've told everybody two more weeks, maybe a little 109 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: bit more, but for the most part, this thing is 110 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: going to be over and we're leaving Iran roll cut 111 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: to be Mike. 112 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: When negotiating with them right now, they've been again, we 113 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: have had regime change. 114 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: Now, regime change was. 115 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 4: Not one of the things I had as a goal. 116 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: I had one goal, they will have no nuclear weapon, 117 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: and that goal has been attained. They will not have 118 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. But we're finishing the job, and I think 119 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer 120 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: to do the job. But we want to knock out 121 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 4: every single thing they have. Now. It's possible that we'll 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges, and 123 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: we've hit some. We'll hit some bridges and a couple 124 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to 125 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether 126 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: they come or out. We've set them back. It'll take 127 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty years for them to rebuild what we've 128 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: done to them. 129 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: So I want to ask ask you, is this an 130 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: acceptable result? I'm just curious, is it mission accomplished? Or 131 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: by leaving them in power, and by leaving them, at 132 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: least for now in control of the Strait of Hormus, 133 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: which they're going to be charging a toll to every 134 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: ship and every country, they're going to replenish their treasury 135 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: billions of dollars every month. You haven't killed a snake, now, 136 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: It's true, you've kicked it the can down the road, 137 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: no question. You've pushed their nuclear program way into the 138 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: future that there's no doubt. But is this good enough? 139 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: Do you believe we've won the war? Or is Trump 140 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: trying to salvage victory from what was becoming a quagmire. 141 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. 142 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: And let me throw this log on the fire. Here's 143 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Marco Ruby on Fox asking what the benefit of the 144 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: United States is in being in NATO after Italy, on 145 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: top of Spain, announced yesterday we cannot use their military 146 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: bases for any missions that we want to fly in 147 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury roll cut twelve, Mike. 148 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during 149 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 5: my time as a United States Senator because I found 150 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: great value in it, and it wasn't just about defending Europe, 151 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: I said. It also allowed us to have military bases 152 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: in Europe that allowed us to project power into different 153 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 5: parts of the world when our national security was threatened. 154 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 5: If now we have reached a point where the NATO 155 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 5: alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact, 156 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 5: that we can no longer use those bases to defend 157 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 5: America's interests, the NATO is a one way street. The 158 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 5: NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to 159 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 5: defend Europe. But when we need their help, not their help, 160 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 5: we're not asking them to conduct their strikes when we 161 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: need them to allow us to use their military bases. 162 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 5: Their answer is no, Then why are we in NATO. 163 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 5: You have to ask that question. Why do we have 164 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: billions and billions of dollars hundreds of billions of dollars 165 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 5: over the years, trillions of dollars and all these American 166 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 5: forces stationed in the region. If we can only use 167 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 5: we can in our time of need, We're not going 168 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 5: to be allowed to use those bases. 169 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: I agree. 170 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean you had me at hello now super quick. 171 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 1: He then says, look, you know A equals B, B 172 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: equal C, therefore A equal C. In other words, if 173 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: we can't use your bases to project power and it's 174 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: all about being a one way street and us protecting 175 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: you at the cost of trillions and trillions of dollars, well, 176 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: roll cut thirteen, Mike. 177 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 5: I think there's no doubt. Unfortunately, after this conflict is included, 178 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 5: we are going to have to re examine that relationship. 179 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: We're going to have to re examine the value of 180 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 5: NATO and that alliance for our country. Ultimately, that's a 181 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 5: decision for the president to make, and you'll have to 182 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 5: make it. We're going to finish the job here. As 183 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 5: I said, we're very very close to achieving our objectives 184 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 5: on all of these things that I've outlined, But I 185 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 5: do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to re 186 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 5: examine whether or not this alliance that has served this 187 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 5: country well for a while is still serving that purpose 188 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 5: or is it now become a one way street where 189 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: America is simply in a position to defend Europe, but 190 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 5: when we need the help of our allies, they're going 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 5: to deny us basing rights and they're going to deny 192 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 5: us overflight. I think these are very legitimate questions that 193 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 5: we need to be asking, and this are going to 194 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 5: have to be very carefully examined. After this conflict. 195 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: Pull out, baby, pull out. 196 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: The country will be cheering leave these in great Europeans 197 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: to themselves, let them deal with Vladimir Putin. Okay six 198 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: one seven just my opinion six seven to sixty eight, 199 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: sixty eight agreed, disagree. Jim in New Hampshire, Thanks for 200 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: holding Jim and welcome age. 201 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 6: Offessionally addressed a couple of points. But before that, your wife, Grace, 202 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 6: what what a warrior? 203 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 7: I'm I believe she's true Mecca, make America grace again. 204 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 6: When I heard her call last week, I was here 205 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 6: in the whole time. God bless her. 206 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 7: That's all I can say. 207 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: Oh, she's gonna be on in twenty two minutes, jim 208 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: so But anyway, keep going, my friend. 209 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 7: Alrighty, I got two things I want to address. One 210 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 7: was the war where we're at now you know the address, 211 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 7: and and the other is the alliances. So the alliances. 212 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 7: I was never a fan in NATO. I think it 213 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 7: should have been dissolved. 214 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 6: But I think this is you know, because again in 215 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 6: twenty twenty two in is Sambil, Natil pushed this into 216 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 6: war with Ukraine. 217 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 7: Seeing this was and we could have solved it then 218 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 7: and ended it there. To me, that was the biggest 219 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 7: disappointment of that last administration. And this time with the 220 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 7: other alliance, which I think. 221 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 6: People don't want to admit talk much about, is the 222 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 6: alliance with Israel. Israel did push us into this along. 223 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 7: With how could be in Levin and. 224 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 6: Obviously Lindsay Graham, and they're always there, the same players. 225 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 6: So I don't agree with the alliance either. I believe 226 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 6: in healthy trading relationships with countries. 227 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 7: I believe in. 228 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 6: You know, cooperation, kind of like what China does in 229 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 6: a way, like they don't really get involved unless they 230 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 6: have to. 231 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 7: I believe in maybe. 232 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 6: Defensive military lians, and I don't believe in aggressive military lions. 233 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 6: So with NATO right now, do I think we should 234 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 6: at least rework the framework one does all of it? 235 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 7: Yeah? 236 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 6: Possibly, I don't know if now the time it's a 237 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 6: very unstable world. I don't know that looks like you know, 238 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 6: as far as NATO helping us with this, I didn't 239 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 6: like asking. 240 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 7: Him that help. 241 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 6: I mean, we are the most powerful military and history 242 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 6: of the world. If we couldn't close the three miles straight, 243 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 6: I didn't want to be asking and I didn't want 244 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 6: to ask anyone for that. 245 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 7: I thought it looked bad. 246 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 6: And I think because this is more of a war 247 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 6: of aggression than a defensive war. 248 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 7: Maybe that's NATO's reasoning. 249 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 6: And I'm personally under the impression I want to contain 250 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 6: this war. I don't really want NATAL revolved. 251 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 7: I don't want to expand it. 252 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 6: And that kind of brings you the first point about 253 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 6: where we're at now. We've had to go shoot before 254 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 6: and we ended up, you know, bombing Iran in the 255 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 6: middle of negotia. So I don't know if this is 256 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 6: gonna mean if he is gonna pull out, or if 257 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 6: this is just we have a lot of ground troops 258 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 6: that move to that region that usually mean something. 259 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 7: I don't know if that's a kind of a maybe 260 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 7: it's a tactic, you know, to say. 261 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 6: This and then we'll send in our ground troops. But 262 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 6: we I think Trump, unfortunately. 263 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 7: Is the position now he has two bad choices. 264 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 6: One is either staying in, which would mean ground troops, 265 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 6: which could go to far more escallation, which I worry 266 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 6: about being nuclear, you know, coming from Israel, because again. 267 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 7: I think it's you're looking at the state the size 268 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 7: of Israel. I mean, she does state the size. 269 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: Of New Jersey that's really getting bombed, and that could 270 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 6: that you know, if it goes, it gets worse than 271 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 6: I can. 272 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 7: See that happening. 273 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 6: And the other one is getting out. Now getting out 274 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 6: looks really bad too. It puts a lot of our 275 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 6: allies in a predicament that you know, they trusted us, 276 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 6: They're gonna look to other alliances. 277 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 7: They might look to China. 278 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 6: They're already gonna pay and. 279 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 7: Yen, now, yen, excuse me. I one I think it 280 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 7: is Chinese currency with the oil. 281 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 6: It enriches Iran, it makes it gives them. 282 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 7: More than they have had before. You know, So I don't. 283 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 6: Really because I think if you're gonna do it, you 284 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 6: do and you contain it, but you don't expand it. 285 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 6: And uh, as far as ending it, I mean I'd 286 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 6: love it to end and ended up in a good way. 287 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 6: I just really don't. 288 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 7: See uh that happening, I think. And it's not even 289 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 7: enough to us anymore. I think Israel i Ran still 290 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 7: have a part of this. 291 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 6: I don't think either of them won't end it. 292 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 7: I think Israel is what they know, this is the 293 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 7: time to do this. They have the support of this administration. 294 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 7: You know, they have the year of the Lindsay Grahams 295 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 7: and the Mark Lemons and Hockeyby. 296 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 6: They're they're on board, and and uh, you know, unfortunately 297 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 6: Trump went' with that that that side of the of 298 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 6: the movement. I can't even call it the movement. 299 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 7: Because I don't get to the MAGA. But yeah, so. 300 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I think, you know, that's where we're at. 301 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: And as far as Jim, look, you know, I think 302 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Jim, he's now and he's going to 303 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: address the country tonight. So by going and putting a 304 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: self imposed timeline of another two weeks, three weeks, if 305 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: he sends in troops now, people are gonna say, well, why, 306 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we're leaving in two to three weeks, why 307 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: would you escalate? And I I think if he stays so, 308 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: in other words, anything that prolongs the conflict, I think 309 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: people are going to say, well why so? I think 310 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: Trump is clearly he's signaling to the Israelis, and he's 311 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: signaling to the Iranians, and he's signaling to the Europeans. 312 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: This thing is going to be over. Okay, Doctor Grace 313 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: is warming up in the bullpen. She'll be on in 314 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: about ten minutes. All right, this is breaking as I 315 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: speak to you right now. 316 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: Huge news. 317 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: President Trump now has announced that the regime in Iran 318 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: is now asking for a cease fire with. 319 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: The United States. 320 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: They want an end to hostilities, They want a ceasefire. 321 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: President Trump has now said he will not sign one 322 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: until the Strait of Horne Moose has been opened and 323 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: it is free and clear for passage for all the 324 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: oil tankers and cargo and all the ships that want 325 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: to go through. That very vital passageway. So they are 326 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: now asking for a ceasefire. Trump says, will you will 327 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: not get one. You open the Strait of Hormose, you 328 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: will get one. So we shall see what happens. Trump 329 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: also then said, until the Strait of horn Moose is opened, 330 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: we will continue to bomb Iran into oblivion or as 331 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: Trump put it himself, he goes, or as they say, 332 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: the stone ages. So basically, the bombing campaign will continue. 333 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: They're going to continue with their our boot on the 334 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: neck of the Iatolas. But the regime now is asking 335 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: for a ceasefire, and Trump is basically saying, you'll get 336 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: one if you open the Strait of Hormoose. And it's 337 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: truly open, free, open navigation. So if look, if the 338 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: Iatolas have half a brain, open up. 339 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: The Strait of Hormoose, and this war is over. 340 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. 341 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Mark and Milton, thanks for holding Mark. 342 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 8: And welcome, Hey, Jeb, thanks for taking my call, my pleasure. 343 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: Mark. 344 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 8: I have a much more pessimistic view of this, and 345 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 8: it doesn't matter whether I was for the war or 346 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 8: against the war, or whether I think NATO is worth 347 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 8: continuing on. We are cutting and running la Joe Biden 348 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 8: in Afghanistan, and look what's going on there. These mulahs 349 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 8: are have an insane desire to kill every person in 350 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 8: this world that does not believe the way that they do. 351 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 8: They will come back with a vengeance. If I lived 352 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 8: in Israel, I'd be buying plane tickets and land in 353 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 8: Iceland because that's the only place they're going to be safe. 354 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 8: We're going to lose the midterms because of this. Another 355 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 8: cut and run, so you can kiss goodbye the dome 356 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 8: over the Iron Dome for the United States. The Iyatolahs 357 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 8: will rebuild and they will Look, why would we believe 358 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 8: any timeline that we've heard. They're not twenty years out. 359 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 8: In three or four years, they're going to be back 360 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 8: at it, and the United States will be targeting number 361 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 8: one because they're not going to forget. These people don't forget. 362 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 8: They haven't forgotten since the Crusades. For God's sake. If 363 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 8: Trump doesn't, he started it. And I understand exactly why 364 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 8: the Europeans don't want to get involved, because yes, their 365 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 8: Muslim populations will revoked. Trump knew all of this. I 366 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 8: am a triple Trumper, and I'm so disgusted that he 367 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 8: has now given away the midterms. JD better be putting 368 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 8: his resume together, because there's no way in hell he's 369 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 8: getting elected. There will be no Iron Dome, and Iran 370 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 8: will rise again. 371 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: Mark, Mark, what do you say? I hear you, and 372 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: very powerful. 373 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: I have to say, very powerfully argued Mark, I just 374 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: want to ask you this to play devil's advocate, that's, 375 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, and I think this would be Trump's counter argument. 376 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: He'd say, Look, Mark, I hear you, but you know, 377 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: if I put ground troops in, the American public will 378 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: revolt against me. So I can only do what is possible. 379 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: And what is possible is I have obliterated their nuclear 380 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: program for a generation. We have hit so many tars, 381 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: We've wiped out their facilities, we've hit their ballistic missile 382 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: stock piles. Their navy no longer exists, they have no 383 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: air force. They have been militarily dismantled and decimated. That yeah, 384 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: Iran may rise again, but that's going to be for 385 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: another president to settle, maybe ten years or fifteen years 386 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. And I've militarily, we've accomplished all 387 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: we could possibly accomplish. What you know, in other words, 388 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: and I needed the Iranian people to rise up, and 389 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: the Iranian people didn't rise up for whatever reason. You know, 390 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: whether we should blame them or not, that's not the issue. 391 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: The point is I wanted them to rise up. If 392 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: they rose up, we would have the regime toppled. But 393 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: they didn't. And so I went as far and I 394 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: did as much as I could possibly do. What do 395 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: you say to that. 396 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 8: Argument, I say, unfortunately, it's not enough. Because I have 397 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 8: two grandchildren going to be born in June and July 398 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 8: this year, there'll be fifteen about fifteen years that you 399 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 8: just brought up. I'm sorry Donald Trump started this, if 400 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 8: he didn't realize that, if he didn't finish it. I 401 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 8: don't see how this is any different than pulling out 402 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 8: of Afghanistan the way we did. Other than I mean, yes, 403 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 8: and how about the service people that we've lost already? 404 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 8: That is just in vain. Yet again, the United States 405 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 8: has a reputation for cutting and running as soon as 406 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 8: things don't start going their way. I don't understand why 407 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 8: the United States can't open up the strait of horror moves. 408 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 8: Why can't we We're so powerful, I mean, that's all 409 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 8: I'm hearing, is how great we're doing. Why can't we 410 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 8: just do it? 411 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's going to take time. 412 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: It'll take more than two weeks, and we're going to 413 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: suffer some losses because you know they I mean, I'm 414 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: just I'm just giving you what. You know what the 415 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: generals are telling Trump. The Iranians have drones, they have 416 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: these shoulder fired missiles, these anti ship missiles, which are 417 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: very mobile, so it's going to put our sailors at risk. 418 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: And basically Trump is, you know, worry, We're gonna have 419 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: casualties and we're going to take some damage, and you know, 420 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: it's going to take more than two weeks. And he 421 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: wants this war to be over because he's looking at 422 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: the price of gas, the price of oil, the economy, inflation, 423 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: he's looking at the polls, and he's basically saying, there's 424 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: only so much I can only so much political capital 425 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: I can expend, and if we have to do the 426 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: straight up hormouse by ourselves, this is going to prolong 427 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: things for at least another month, maybe even another six 428 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: weeks with potential casualties. 429 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: That's the counter argument. 430 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 8: What say you, Mark, I am absolutely flabbergasted that Trump 431 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 8: could have been brought into this without knowing in advance 432 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 8: that this was going to happen. I do not lightly. 433 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 8: I was against I was against this war, but like 434 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 8: I let off with my call, it doesn't matter whether 435 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 8: we were forward or against it. It doesn't matter about NATO. 436 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 8: It matters where we are right now. That's the only 437 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 8: thing that matters. And where we are right now is 438 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 8: about to accede. And you are one thousand percent correct, 439 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 8: as you'd like to say, that they are going to 440 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 8: build this up as a huge victory over big and 441 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 8: little Satan. And good luck to any Iranian dissidence, even 442 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 8: a student who might you know, who might have been 443 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 8: at a protest. You think we think forty thousand people 444 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 8: were killed. Within a year from now, we're going to 445 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 8: hear of mass graves in Iran. It is going to 446 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 8: be a blood bath, and that blood will continue to 447 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 8: flow for years and years and years. And I'm sorry 448 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 8: that Donald Trump is in this position. But Donald Trump 449 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 8: put himself in this position because he listened to people 450 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 8: like Lindsey Graham. I don't know what his advisors are like, 451 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 8: but this was folly from the beginning. If they thought 452 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 8: they could go in and do it this quickly and 453 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 8: accomplish what needed to be accomplished. These Mulas are going 454 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 8: to come back, like I said, with a vengeance, and 455 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 8: we on this continent will eventually pay for it, very 456 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 8: very dearly, and people will be asking in the future, 457 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 8: just like we asked of George Bush, why didn't he 458 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 8: go all the way? 459 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: Mark, thank you very very much for that call. 460 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: So there you hear it. Mark says, it's a mistake. 461 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: Trump is making a mistake that if you know, in 462 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: for a penny, in for a pound, you leave the 463 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: mulla's in power now wounded, battered but defiant. All you're 464 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: doing now is enrage them and almost they're going to 465 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: now redouble, triple double their efforts to get nuclear weapons 466 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: and the bomb by leaving them intact. Now, let me 467 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: ask all of you, and then I want to go 468 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: to Gray, she's on the line. But I want to 469 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: ask all of you. This is why, to me, the 470 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: straight up hormus has to be reopened. You have to 471 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: end the blockade. Why because if you don't, then the 472 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: Mullas can charge a fee that toll system that they 473 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: want to place on all those ships going through. And 474 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, basically extore like an extortion racket, you know, 475 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: like the mob, and they can replenish their treasury to 476 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: the tune of we're talking tens and tens of billions 477 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: of dollars every year, and that's when they can start, 478 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, buying more weapons again, supporting terrorists, obviously pursuing 479 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: a nuclear program. So yeah, Trump is hoping, you know, 480 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: anticipating fifteen twenty years. But what if it's not fifteen 481 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: twenty years. In other words, you know, all of this 482 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: and then we just kick the can down the road 483 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: for maybe you know, one administration or two administrations. So 484 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, in the end, was it worth it? That's 485 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: the question I have six one seven two six' six 486 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty. Eight, now, Look trump is going to 487 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: make the, argument And i'm going to play the cut To. 488 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: GRACE i want to get her reaction that The mullas 489 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: were two weeks away from the, bomb that they were 490 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: going to get nine ten eleven bombs in two, weeks 491 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: and that had he not, acted then we wouldn't be 492 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: here right.

Bad this is now operation 516 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 9: cut your, Losses and WHAT i would be advising the 517 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 9: president is go back to, basics go back to the 518 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 9: promises that you made to the. People so what he 519 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 9: needs to do, is there's no question that he has 520 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 9: to clear the straits because the fact that the straits 521 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 9: are blocked impacts the cost of goods around the, world 522 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 9: and it's not good for. Us so it's in our. 523 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 9: Interest he now has to clear the. Straits he doesn't 524 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 9: have a choice really in.

Accurate so he has to stop giving a 529 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 9: timeline because it's obvious that, events many many events now 530 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 9: are beyond his. Control and the more he tries to 531 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 9: give a, timeline the more he puts in jeopardy his 532 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 9: reputation as a straight shooter and as somebody. Competent so 533 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 9: there's a lot at stake right, now and he's got 534 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 9: to go back to basics in order to make sure 535 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 9: that he can preserve his reputation as a straight shooter 536 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 9: and as somebody. Competent so you got to clear the 537 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 9: state the. Straits accept that you're cutting your.
