1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear program and what 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: that means moving forward is becoming much more clear. Donald 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Trump number one demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trump escalating his 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: rhetoric in light of the recent Israel Iran strikes, calling 5 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: for Ran to surrender and warning civilians to evacuate Tehran. 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: We also know that it's clear what the President wants 7 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: to do. It is targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Let's be clear, 8 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: this is not about a war or an invasion or 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: boots on the ground. Trump is not ruling out strikes 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: and Iran's nuclear facilities, but he's also made it clear 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: he's not wanting to invade anything at all. He has 12 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: even made it clear to the Supreme Leader, calling him 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: quote an easy target, though saying killing him is not 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: on the table for now. Why did he say that, 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: warning the Supreme Leader that you that are not harm 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: a single American troop in the Middle East. Now it's 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: very clear that Iran could in fact go after American soldiers, 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: and the President wanted to get ahead of that, saying, 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: if you want to die, because I know where you are, 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: I can take you out at any moment. So you 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: better not retaliate and go after any American bases or 22 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: servicemen and women. Targeting Iran's nuclear sights is what this 23 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: is really all about. And now we know that the 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: President is mobilizing military assets as well. The US has 25 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: now positioned bombers, refueling tankers, and aircraft carriers the Carl 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: Vincent and the Nimts to the region as a show 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: of force. We also know the Vice President is playing 28 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: a major role in the diplomacy. Jeddy Vance is also 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: playing the role of reassuring skeptics. Vance countering those within 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: the base who are saying that Donald Trump should just 31 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: be an isolationist and should not get involved in at all, 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: making it clear that Trump has an obligation to defend 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: America and make sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: weapon to attack American citizens as well as our ally 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: Israel now stressing restraint is also part of what the 36 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: White House is talking about. They are signaling, yes, potential 37 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: military action, but it would be extremely limited to the 38 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: nuclear sites. Both Vans and other administration officials are stressing 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: that the immediate full scale action of even going after 40 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: these new nuclear sites has not been confirmed and You've 41 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: got to put this in a broader context. There is 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: clear support for the president at home for him to 43 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: go after Iran's nuclear sites, but there's also clear polling 44 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: to show that Americans do not want boots on the ground. 45 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: They do not want to invade Iran either, and that 46 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: is what Donald Trump has been very clear about. 47 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: He has no intention of doing that. Now. 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: The other question says when will the decision be made? 49 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: The State Department spokesman saying this about the president earlier. 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: Exce up to the president. 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: He is the singular guiding hand about what will be 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: occurring from this point forward, as he has been, and 53 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: I think that that dynamic is pretty clear. He says 54 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: he wants an end, as he has said about every 55 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: conflict that he has as a peacemaker, worked to stop 56 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: peacefully through diplomacy. That has been his commitment. And he 57 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: wants these things, as he said about in a number 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: of situations, not for a month or six months, but 59 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: durable ends to this nature of forever wars. And that 60 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: has been his posture, and that's his posture now. 61 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: It's very clear the President does not want this to 62 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: continue on. That's why he gave that sixty day window 63 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: to get a deal done with Iran, and once sixty 64 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: days was up, the President then said, okay, and now 65 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: we're going to have to let Israel do what Israel 66 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: needs to to protect and defend itself. Now, President Trump 67 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: also has major allies in Congress who are coming out 68 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: clearly stating that they believe the President has the right 69 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: and an obligation to protect America and take out a 70 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Rand's nuclear program. Senator Cruz, talking with Sean Hannity earlier, 71 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: said this. 72 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: Here with reaction. 73 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Senator, it is amazing. I watched 74 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: the president. You should have listened. I gave you time. 75 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: I watched the President warn the people of Tehran, and 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: we'll show. 77 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: More video of it to get out. 78 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 4: And there's like millions of people listening. 79 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: To Donald Trump. 80 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 4: They're not getting that message from the leadership of Iran. 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 4: They're getting it from the President of the United States, 82 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: showing that he cares about human life. 83 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 5: Well, listen, President Trump, throughout this conflict has been fantastic. 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 5: I spoke to the President on Sunday and just told him, 85 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 5: I said, your leadership has been so critical on this, 86 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 5: and he made clear Iran is not getting a nuclear 87 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 5: way weapon, and he is standing with Israel. I believe 88 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 5: our position should be we stand unequivocally with the state 89 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 5: of Israel. And I'll make a point, Israel is doing 90 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 5: an enormous favor to the United States right now. I 91 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 5: believe the most acute near term security threat facing America 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 5: is the threat of a nuclear Iran because the Iatola 93 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 5: is a religious nutcase. He is a theocratic mass murderer, 94 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 5: and when he chants death to America and death to Israel, 95 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 5: he does so in front of mobs of people. He 96 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 5: also refers to Israel as the Little Satan and America 97 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 5: as the Great Satan. There is a reason the Iatola 98 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 5: is developing ICBMs. ICBMs are intercontinental ballistic missiles. You don't 99 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 5: need an ICBM to bomb Israel. They're bombing Israel with 100 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 5: ballistic missiles. You need an ICBM to get to America. 101 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 5: If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, I think the odds 102 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 5: are unacceptably high that we would find out with a 103 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 5: mushroom cloud over New York City or Los angele Jelyus 104 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 5: or Tel Aviv in Israel. And what Israel has said 105 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 5: is we are going to act Israel is a tiny country. 106 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 5: It's the size of the state of New Jersey, and 107 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 5: they are taking out Iran's military with surgical precision. They're 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 5: taking out virtually all of the senior leaders of the military, 109 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 5: They're taking out their nuclear scientists, they are leveling nuclear 110 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 5: facilities on the ground. And I think President Trump is 111 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 5: exactly right to say we stand with Israel, and I'm 112 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 5: with a seventy five percent of Americans that agree with 113 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 5: the President's strong stance to keep America safe. That's the 114 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 5: commander in chief's number one job, to protect American lives 115 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: and keep America safe. 116 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 2: That's what Donald Trump is doing today. 117 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: By the way, this brings me to another big story, 118 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: and it's the story that they're trying to play up 119 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: on TV, the story that there's some massive divide between 120 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: the MAGA movement. There isn't actually that big of a 121 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: divide at all. The majority of people that I know 122 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: are supporting President Donald Trump and his actions, and they're 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: glad that we have a president that is standing up 124 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: in willing to protect and defend all of us. The Dims, 125 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: by the way, have also gone completely silent on this 126 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Israel Iran conflict. It's a question that many of us, 127 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: and the media especially should be asking what do you 128 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: think and why are you being so quiet? 129 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: Jesse Waters bringing that up on Fox. 130 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 6: Trump's consumed in one of the most consequential moments of 131 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 6: his presidency. Nukes, oil casualties, mid East strategy, the six 132 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 6: are high, and the Republican Party is having an open debate. 133 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 6: But the Democrat parties know where to be found. They've 134 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 6: gone silent during an historical moment. Where are the leading 135 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 6: foreign policy voices of the Democrat Party? The strategist, the hawks, 136 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 6: the doves, anybody? Does anybody have an opinion? Democrats don't 137 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 6: know what to say because they have to be told 138 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 6: what to say, and no one's telling them. We haven't 139 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 6: heard a word from Hillary, Obama, Biden, Kammelin, not even 140 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 6: Susan Rice or Blink and carry. Where are all these 141 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 6: people while Trump tries to manage wars overseas, are trying 142 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 6: to kick off a civil. 143 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: War here at home. 144 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: Jesse's absolutely right, where are the people on the left, 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Which brings me to my final point. There's a very 146 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: good chance and by the time you even hear the show, 147 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: we may find out that Donald Trump has ordered our 148 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: US military to attack the nuclear sites in Iran and 149 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: why did he do it? 150 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: To protect all of us? 151 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: And that is something that every American should be proud of. Unfortunately, 152 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: there are going to be many detractors who are going 153 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: to say that Donald Trump is getting us into World 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: War three, when the reality is he's probably preventing it. 155 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: We're getting new breaking news and this is moving very 156 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: quickly with what's happening between Iran, Israel, and now the 157 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: United States of America. With a new statement that has 158 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: just come out from Donald Trump saying, quote, we don't. 159 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: Want a long term war with Iran. 160 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump making it clear that the administration is 161 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: not looking for long term war. In a second statement, 162 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: Trump addressing concerns among members of the Make America greatagan 163 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: base that the United States would be pulled into a 164 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: quote long term war while filling a question from the media, 165 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: take a listen to his own words. 166 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: Outside of the White House, some of the people in 167 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: debates don't want a long term war. They're afraid that 168 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: we're going to get into a long term Don't you 169 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: look for a long term but we're looking to Earth. 170 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: It's only I only want one thing. Iran cannot have 171 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. That's it. 172 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 7: I'm not looking long term structure. And I've been saying 173 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 7: that for twenty years. I've been saying that this is 174 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 7: a civilian who got a lot of publicity. People would 175 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 7: cover it very simply. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapons. 176 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 7: It's not a question of anything else. And if you did, 177 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 7: you wouldn't have much of a country because they would 178 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 7: use it on us, and we'll use it on other people, 179 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 7: and they'd. 180 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: Be a terror all over the world. 181 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: We're not looking for long term war. I only want 182 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 183 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: That is it. 184 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: Very simply, he said in another interview, Iran cannot have 185 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. 186 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: It's not a question anything else. 187 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: And if you did, you wouldn't have much of a 188 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: country because they would use it on us and use 189 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: it on other. 190 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: People, and they'd be a tear all over the world. 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: Trump notally tweeted back in twenty eleven, before he even 192 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: into the political world that quote Iran cannot have a 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, and has been firm in his stances throughout 194 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: his political career and his presidential campaign. In twenty twenty four, 195 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: if you go back to the doctrine of Donald Trump 196 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: look at November fourth, twenty eleven, his exact tweet, Iran's 197 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: quest for nuclear weapons is a major threat to our 198 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: nation's national security interests. We cannot allow Ran to go nuclear. 199 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: That was before he was running for any office. In fact, 200 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: that's actually when he was a Democrat. Trump nottally gave 201 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: Iran a sixty day deadline that expired on Thursday, June 202 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: twelfth to make a deal to end its nuclear program, 203 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: and then on Friday, Israel began striking and any a 204 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: nuclear site, military leaders, and refineries. Trump declared Tuesday, quote, 205 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: we have complete and total control of the skies of 206 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Iran and revealed his team new the exact location of 207 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: the leader of Iran. When asked Wednesday if the US 208 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: was moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear sites, here's what 209 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: Trump said about that. 210 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: About whether you are moving closer? 211 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 8: You believe the US is moving closer to striking Iranian 212 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 8: nuclear facilities? 213 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: Where's your mindset on that? 214 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 7: You can say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm 215 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 7: going to answer that way? Will you strike the Iranian 216 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 7: nuclear component? And what time exactly, sir sir, would you 217 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 7: strike it? Would you please inform me so we can 218 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 7: be there and watch. I mean, you don't know that 219 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 7: I'm going to even do it. 220 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: You don't know. I may do it, I may not 221 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: do it. 222 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 7: I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. 223 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: I can tell you this that. 224 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 7: Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. 225 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 7: And I said, what did you negotiate with me before 226 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 7: or all this death and destruction? 227 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: Why didn't you nego? 228 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 7: I said the people, why didn't you negotiate with me 229 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 7: two weeks ago? You could have done fine, You would 230 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 7: have had a country. It's very sad to watch this. 231 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 7: I mean, I've never seen anything like it, So you 232 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 7: neveryone thought it was going to be the reverse. 233 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: I didn't. 234 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 7: I didn't think so. 235 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: And they're telling him, you. 236 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 7: Got to you got to do something, you got to negotiate. 237 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 7: And at the end less minute, they said, no, we're 238 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 7: not going to do that, and they got hit. Remember 239 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 7: sixty days, And then came the sixty sixty one is 240 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 7: going to become a very famous number. That was one 241 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 7: hell of a hit, that first hit, that was one hell. 242 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 6: Of a hit. 243 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: Not sustainable, to be honest. That's where it ended. It 244 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 2: ended on the first night. Yes, too late, though, do 245 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: you think it's too late to now? 246 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 7: Really, nothing's too late. 247 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: The only thing too latest, Powell. Powell's too late, too late, Powell. 248 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: President Trump making it clear this is something that is 249 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: on the table, which brings us to the latest breaking 250 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: news and what is being reported just a moment ago 251 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: on Fox Here's Channel that Donald Trump has in fact 252 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: approved attack plans against Iran. 253 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 6: Fox Who's alert the iatola has gone into hiding. He's 254 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 6: believed to be holed up inside an underground bunker northeast 255 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 6: of the Capitol. This is a different kind of Iranian 256 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 6: hostage crisis. Comane can hide, but he can't run. For 257 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 6: the past twenty four hours, Israel's been attacking the area 258 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 6: around his underground layer, but Kamane, still talking tough, says 259 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 6: Iran will not surrender to anyone and is warning that 260 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 6: if America joins the fight and strikes, it'll result in 261 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 6: irreparable damage to the United States. Is he bluffing, We 262 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 6: don't know. Iranian proxies, which have been severely degraded, are 263 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 6: threatening to commit acts of terror against American troops and 264 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 6: American ships in the region, and American businesses are now 265 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 6: bracing for cyber attacks. Trump says, good luck with that. 266 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: We won't be bullied. I was the hunted and now 267 00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm the hunter. 268 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 7: It's a big difference. 269 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: That means I've had it. Okay, I've had it. I 270 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: give up no more, then we go blow up all 271 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: than you know, all. 272 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 7: The nuclear stuff that's all over the place there. Now 273 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 7: they had bad intentions, you know, the for forty years 274 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 7: they've been saying death to America, death to Israel, and 275 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 7: death to anybody else that they didn't like. The bullies. 276 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: They were schoolyard bullies. And now they're not bullies anymore. 277 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 6: Trump's been meeting in the situation room with his National 278 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 6: Security team head of Central Command, Army General Eric Carilla, 279 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 6: they call him the Gorilla. Has been instrumental in the 280 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 6: war planning the Pentagons, sending in their new state of 281 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 6: the art supercarrier, the USS Gerald Ford, and amassing a 282 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 6: tremendous amount of assets in the area. Today, Trump had 283 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: lunch with Pakistan's army chief. Pakistan borders Iran. Seems like 284 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 6: something's about to happen, and this is just breaking. The 285 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 6: Wall Street journal is reporting Trump privately a proved a 286 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 6: tack plans against Iran. Now, we don't know what these 287 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 6: plans entail, but we're told they include US air strikes. 288 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 6: Unsure if that includes bunker Busters. Remember, the latest version 289 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 6: of the bunker Buster has never been used on the battlefield, 290 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 6: It's only been tested. Axios reports that Trump has been 291 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 6: quizzing as generals. Are they sure if he uses them 292 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 6: they'll be one hundred percent effective? 293 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: The generals say yes. 294 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 6: But Trump's not completely convinced. Caroline Levitt says all options 295 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: remain on the table. Trump's been waiting on giving the 296 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 6: final order, seeing if the Iranians give up and surrender 297 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 6: their new program peacefully. Sources in DC say Trump's out 298 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 6: of patience and Iran's up against the clock. 299 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 9: I believe that unlesserre On surrenders in the next forty 300 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 9: eight hours, the United States, in conjunction with Israel, will 301 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 9: engage in military action. 302 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 6: Trump says the Iranians want to fly all the way 303 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 6: to the White House to negotiate an end to. 304 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: This, but he says it's two late. He doesn't appear 305 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: to be. 306 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 6: Open to long drawn out negotiations where he gets strung 307 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 6: along like last time. 308 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 7: We're not looking for a ceasefire. 309 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: We're looking for a total complete victory. 310 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 7: Again, you know what the victory is no nuclear weapon. 311 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 6: Trump's made a decision. Iran's nuclear program is gone. The 312 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 6: person who ultimately decides that is the Iatola. He can 313 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 6: either let us do it peacefully or we'll do it violently. 314 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: But either way, the. 315 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 6: Outcome of this war is this, the Iranians will never 316 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 6: be able to acquire. 317 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: A nuclear weapon. 318 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Now, the second part of this story is this, will 319 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: the supreme leader of Iran come to the negotiating table 320 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: and actually stop the nuclear program. They may be wanting 321 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: to send people to the White House, but here's what 322 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: the actual IATOA says. He has a stark warning directed 323 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: both at the US and Israel. In fact, he declared 324 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: today the battle begins, dating there would be quote no 325 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: mercy for the terrorist Zionis regime of Israel. He also 326 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: criticized the US President trump calls for Iran's unconincial surrender, 327 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: asserting that Iran will never quote unquote surrender and that 328 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: any US military action would cause irrepuable damage. Iran's you 329 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: An ambassador echoed that any direct US involvement alongside Israel 330 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: would trigger their own firm response. A Radian Foreign Ministry 331 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: spokesman went further, warning the US intervention could sparkle all 332 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: out war across the entire region. Now, let me say 333 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: one other thing that's very interesting about all this is 334 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: what's happening within the Democratic Party. Many Democrats are staying 335 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: silent on this, but some are willing to stand up 336 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: and stand on the issue, actually backing Donald Trump and 337 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: saying we need to go even further. Insert Democratic Senator 338 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: John Fetterman. Here's what he had to say on Fox 339 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: News Channel with Bill Hemmer. 340 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 6: Say, show no mercy and if you have to take 341 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 6: the supreme leader out, do it? 342 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: Explain your position now, sir. 343 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think they should have targeted him, absolutely 344 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 10: gone taken them out. I think the way Israel operates, 345 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 10: they just take out the leadership, just like they did 346 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 10: with Hesbola, and they've already done that with the Iranian leadership, 347 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 10: just took them out, even laying in their beds, and 348 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 10: they didn't take down the whole building. They actually targeted 349 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 10: where they lay in bed. And now they eliminated the 350 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 10: military ones and the nuclear ones. That's magnificent and the 351 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 10: precision which they've done that, and I don't know why 352 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 10: they would have left the leader. 353 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 6: Out what comes after that if that reality were to 354 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 6: take place. 355 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 10: Senator Well, I think the reality is that you have 356 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 10: a nation that just is in a position where they 357 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 10: have to be held accountable for what they've done. They 358 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 10: are the ones that built and created the proxies like 359 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 10: Hamas and has belaw and put our whole resion in 360 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 10: this kind of chaos, and now they clearly have nuclear ambitions, 361 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 10: and now I think it's entirely I'm not sure if 362 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 10: I might have been the only one constantly calling that 363 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 10: to just take this facility out and to use the 364 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 10: B two and those gigantic bunker buster ones and partner 365 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 10: up with Israel what they've. 366 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: Done, Fetterman saying, I call in Israel to eliminate the 367 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: Supreme Leader without mercy. So that brings us to the 368 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: latest point where we are now. Is there a very 369 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: good chance that Donald Trump could in fact order that 370 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: we attack a RAN's nuclear sites with those bunker busting bombs. 371 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: The answers, Yes, would there be bipartisan support? 372 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 2: Clearly? 373 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: John Fetterman says he will join others in the Republican 374 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: Party advocating for this, which brings me to my final point, 375 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: what do the American people think about the president stance? Well, 376 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: apparently in new polling, America stands overwhelmingly with Donald Trump 377 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: and Israel by staggeringly large numbers. Nearly seventy percent of 378 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: Americans say US airstrikes to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions are appropriate. 379 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: And the best part about it is who had to 380 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: report it, CNN. Listen carefully and. 381 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 8: Overall, I feel like there's more support for Donald Trump's 382 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 8: positions than is comically acknowledged opposer Ran getting a nuclear weapon. 383 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 8: I mean, look at this, seventy nine percent of adults 384 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 8: agree on that they agree with Donald Trump and Ron 385 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 8: cannot get a nuclear weapon, eighty three percent of Republicans, 386 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 8: seventy nine percent of Independence, seventy nine percent of Democrats. 387 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 8: When you get seventy nine percent of Democrats and eighty 388 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 8: three percent of Republicans agreeing on anything, you know that 389 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 8: that position is the very clear majority in this country. 390 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 8: And so the American public is with Donald Trump. They 391 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 8: definitely opposed in Ron. 392 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 2: Getting nuclear weapons. So this is a nuance here. 393 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 9: But you know, Trump and Natanyajoe both arguing that Ron 394 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 9: is close to being capable of making a nuclear weapon. 395 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 10: If that is the case, what is the feeling. 396 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 9: Of Americans as to whether the United States should get 397 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 9: involved in this conflict? 398 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 2: Right? 399 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 8: If you buy Donald Trump's theory of the case, and 400 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 8: I think that's important to note this is pulling from 401 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 8: April for Ranch trying. 402 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: To make a nuclear weapon. Look at this overall you. 403 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 8: Get the slight plurality, I mean it's within the margin America, 404 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 8: but the slight plurality of Americans actually favor US air 405 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 8: strikes compared to forty seven percent opposing it. Now here's 406 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 8: the other Nugget'll note, right, there's been a lot of 407 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 8: talk online and on social media and in podcasts of 408 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 8: a divide within the Republican ranks. But here on this question, 409 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 8: if Ranch trying to make a nuclear weapon, look at 410 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 8: that sixty nine percent of Republicans, the clear vast majority 411 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 8: of Republicans favor US air strikes on or on their 412 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 8: nuclear facilities. 413 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: No doubt, President Trump has a support of the American 414 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: people in overwhelming and staggering numbers. And for anyone out 415 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: there that's trying to tell you there's some massive divide 416 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: within Magot Country, they're just wrong. Basically, seventy percent of 417 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: the GOP favor US air strikes. This is a major 418 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: on such a quote controversial issue. So there may actually 419 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: be just propagandas out there, just like Tucker Carlson, who 420 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: are trying to act like there's some big divide when 421 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: clearly the Republican Party is standing with Donald Trump. Major 422 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: news coming out of the White House, and that is 423 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is now saying that he may take 424 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: up to two weeks to side whether he is going 425 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: to hit the main site of Iran's nuclear program. Now 426 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: what does this mean, Well, multiple different things. Number One, 427 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: it's shifting towards diplomacy. According to the Washington Post, has 428 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: temporarily stepped back from immediate military action, allowing up to 429 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: two weeks to exploit a new opportunity for diplomacy ahead 430 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: of the plan talks in Geneva with European foreign ministers 431 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: and Iran's foreign minister that is happening, by the way today. 432 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why the President said, Okay, I 433 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: can maybe wait another twenty four to forty eight hours, 434 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: see if you guys can talk some sense into Iran's leader. Now, 435 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: these European led negotiations could be significant. The Financial Times 436 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: right now reporting the European powers, including the UK, France 437 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: and Germany, we'll meet with the Iranian officials in Geneva. 438 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: This is the first quote formal diplomatic engagement since Israel's strike, 439 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: and Trump is giving diplomacy this window before deciding. Now, 440 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: there are some that are criticizing Donald Trump in the 441 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: media on the left, saying, oh, he's lying. He's you know, 442 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: he was telling the people who ran that they must 443 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: leave now, and now he's backing down. He's being a 444 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: ws No, he's being responsible president that is allowing for 445 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: negotiations while also having pressure on them to hurry up 446 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: and get a deal done. 447 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: You have to remember that Donald. 448 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: Trump gave them sixty days referring to Iran to get 449 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: a deal done, and they didn't. In what happened on 450 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: day sixty one, their site started to be attacked. Now 451 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: The Wall Street journal is also noting that Trump's two 452 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: week deadline is a strategic delay, aiming to compel Rand 453 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: towards negotiations or collapse under mounting global pressure. Now, this 454 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: timeframe also shifts immediate responsibility to Israel. That is something 455 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: that Israel is more than happy to have because it's 456 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: clear that their work and hitting certain targets. 457 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: They believe is not done yet. 458 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: And this also reflects Donald Trump's campaign promise to avoid 459 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: US war commitments. Now, the White House signals are also 460 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: very clear. 461 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: At this hour. 462 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: The AP is confirming the White House via the pre 463 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Secretary Caroline Levitt framing this two week period as driven 464 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: by quote a substantial chance of negotiations and Geneva. Trump 465 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: emphasized he's always interested in a diplomatic solution while maintaining 466 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: military strength as a backup. Now, why is this a 467 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: positive development? Is the question that many of you may 468 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: be asking. Well, it's diplomacy. That is something Donald Trump's 469 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: been in favor of the entire time he's been in office. 470 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: And the pause marks they move away from immediate military escalation, 471 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: something we were expecting honestly over the last twenty four 472 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: to forty eight hours, and it signals Trump's openness to 473 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: diplomatic engagement, especially through the European mediation, where America is 474 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: going to be waiting by the phone but not actually 475 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: involved in it. We also know there's no immediate US 476 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: strike at least at this moment. Military options we have 477 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: been told have been laid out and are on the table, 478 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: but there's no authorization for immediate action from Donald Trump. 479 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: That is a break from prior posturing and also media reports. 480 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: And then there's the global coordination President Trump working with 481 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: our allies in Europe. This move is synchronizing US policy 482 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: with active European diplomatic efforts directly with a RAN's leadership, 483 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: and it's reinforcing a more unified and multilateral approach. Again, 484 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: it's clear that Donald Trump wants to avoid war. The 485 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: bottom line is this. Donald Trump's announcement of a two 486 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: week decision window reflects a major pivot. It's a pivot 487 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: from what we thought was going to be in an 488 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: immediate strike to diplomacy, providing breathing room for these ongoing 489 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: talks in Geneva. It also demonstrates a strategic recalibration by 490 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: the Trump team from brinksmanship to negotiations and without that 491 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: brinksmanship and without that threat of a real attack in 492 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: the next twelve or twenty four hours from Donald Trump, 493 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: it is bringing a rand to the table quickly, and 494 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: it also lines the US with international efforts to de 495 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: escalate the tensions over the issue, and it allows for 496 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: breathing room for Israel to continue to do what they 497 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: need to do to protect their country. So if you 498 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: take step back and you look at what's happened over 499 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, this is good news for 500 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: America and our interests. I think at the end of 501 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: the day, many Americans don't want to be involved in 502 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 1: an attack on Iran. But there's also overwhelming support in 503 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: new polling for making sure that Iran never gets a 504 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. And the only person that can stop Iran 505 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: from getting that nuclear weapon is clearly the United States 506 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: of America with our bunker busting bombs. Now there's also 507 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: one other person that can admit, defeat, and stop all 508 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: of this incanny that is Iran. And that's the hope 509 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: in these meetings is that diplomacy will seem very real 510 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: to them and also a real option to get off 511 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: this path to well chaos and destruction. Which brings me 512 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: to story number two, and it's a very important one 513 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: on why Donald Trump may be allowing the two weeks 514 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: to play everything out. The child Crown Prince is now 515 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: saying the Islamic Republic is collapsing as we speak in Iran. 516 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: The exiled Crown Prince of Iran and son of the 517 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: last Persian shaw urged Iranians on Tuesday to prepare for 518 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: the impeding fall of the Supreme Leader and the Islamic 519 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: Republic as the country struggles to fight off attacks from Israel, 520 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: saying this, the Islamic Republic has reached its end and 521 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: is in the process of collapsing. The Supreme Leader is 522 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: like a frightened rat. He has gone into hiding underground 523 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: and has lost control of the situation. What has begun 524 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: is irreversible. The future is bright and together we will 525 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: pass through this sharp turn in history. Now, the military 526 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: conflict between Iran and Israel stretched into its sixth day 527 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: with little signs of slowing down, as Israel is continuing 528 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: to hammer Tehran's nuclear pursuits. Now, the former Shaw of 529 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: Iran sun and he knows a lot about your times up. 530 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: They ruled Iran from nineteen twenty five to nineteen seventy nine. 531 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: That's when it was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution. That 532 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: is when the around hostage crisis also happened, when they 533 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: took American hostages in our embassy. And he went on 534 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: to social media in English and Farsi and directed the 535 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: messages to his fellow countrymen and encouraged a full out uprising, 536 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: saying this, now is the time to rise, the time 537 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: to reclaim Iran. Let us all come forward and bring 538 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: about the end of this regime. He also advised that 539 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: there is a plan to establish a democratic government in 540 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: Iran within one hundred days of the collapse of the 541 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: Islamic Republic. He also urged military, law enforcement, security forces, 542 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: and state employees to join the effort to topple the 543 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: government under the leadership that is currently there in Iran, 544 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: saying this, do not stand against the Iranian people for 545 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: the sake of a regime whose fall has begun and 546 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: is inevitable. Do not sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime. 547 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: By standing with the people, you can save your lives, 548 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: play an historic role in the transformation of the Islamic Republic, 549 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: and take part in building the future of Iran. Now 550 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: you hear this and is it real? There's a chance 551 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: that all of it could come tumbling down around the 552 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: leadership in Iran. Yes, Why, because we know that the 553 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,719 Speaker 1: leader of Iran is in hiding. We also know that 554 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: millions of people in Iran fled Tehran when Donald Trump 555 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: said you need to leave now, another example of just 556 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: how fragile the current regime may be. And finally, a 557 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: lot of the people that were afraid of the regime 558 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: may realize they're not as powerful as they thought, especially 559 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: knowing the air superiority was toppled in a matter of 560 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: hours by Israel, and Israel can do basically whatever they 561 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: want to do from the skies right now. So yes, 562 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons to give diplomacy and other 563 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: things like this a few more days before the present 564 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: makes a decision, and that clearly is good for all 565 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Americans and also the Middle East. Make sure you share 566 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: this podcast with your family and friends, put it up 567 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,239 Speaker 1: on social media wherever you are, and we appreciate you 568 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: listening every day. 569 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: We'll see you back here tomorrow.
