1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, April second, and President Trump made a

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: major primetime address updating us all on the war in

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: Iran last night. You might have missed it if you

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: didn't stay up late. So how did the speech go?

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: This tells you everything you need to know. Oil prices

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: shot up, stock market shot down, and with that, welcome

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: to this episode of Amy and TJ.

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: Robes. That's been the routine. Now. The president speaks, and.

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: Then you go look at oil prices and you go

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: look at the stock market, and one is going to

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: go up, one is going to go down, and that

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: lets you know essentially what he said.

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: But the interesting thing is, normally, when he had said,

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 4: at least previously, when he had said the war was

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 4: almost over, we were wrapping things up, we saw the

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: markets shoot up, oil prices go down. This time when

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 4: he said kind of the same thing without any real

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: specifics or verification, Yeah, they did the opposite.

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: It's look that this has been the game almost daily.

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Robes is back and forth and look, we stayed up

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: late watch the speech, and we're wondering how it was

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: going to be received. We know how we received it,

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: but it is an indication Robes oil prices went up

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: six percent.

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: After his speech. They're over around one hundred and six dollars.

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: I believe stock markets all over the world as we're

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: recording this have gone down, in particular Asian markets are

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: down and stock futures in the US are down.

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: Why Robes.

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: The reason is people are looking for a way out

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: and thought this thing was wrapping up, and he was

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: pretty vague if you will about that timeline.

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you say that trust is down? Because what's what's

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: important is when the president speaks, you believe him. When

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: the president says something is so, it must be. This

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: has been proven to not be the case. And so

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: now when the president says something, unless he has verification,

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: unless he has proof, unless he has specifics, no one

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: is necessarily taking him at his word.

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: And to that point, most.

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: Folks are now looking at what he didn't say, trying

44
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 4: to read between the lines to figure out where the

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: truth lies.

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: And that's a big problem.

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: For Americans, for the world, for the markets. This is

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: due territory. It's hard to imagine where at a place

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 4: where we need receipts, we need proof from our president.

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: What he's saying is happening is in fact happening.

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: It was a famous Reagan line, right, trust but verify.

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: He was talking about a Russian leader when he said that,

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: trust but verify. So the speech last night, it was

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: built as a big one nine o'clock. He got prime

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: time coverage last evening, And to your point, Robes, we're

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: going to go through the major takeaways from the speech

57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: based on what he said, Robes, let's start at the

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: top here. Isn't the number one thing from this speech

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: what he did not say.

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: Yes, because it was a departure from what we've been

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: hearing him say time and time again over the last

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 4: several days, saying that negotiations were going on between Iran

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: and the United States. They were begging for us to

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: stop firing our missiles, they were begging for a cease fire,

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: they had agreed to our fifteen point plan. Iran had

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: said that they would stop enriching weapons, greed, uranium.

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of that. He said all of.

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: Those things repeatedly and often, and yet in his speech

69
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: last night he said nothing about negotiations, whether or not

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: they had happened, whether or not they were ongoing, and

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: least of which that they were successful.

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Passing mention. This has been talked about Robes for several days.

73
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: He even moved a deadline because he said negotiations were

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: going well. At various times the past several days, they

75
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: have said, yeah, we're talking to this guy, well, yeah,

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: we talked to some people, were talking to somebody. Yeah,

77
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: this guy seems like he's in George, and then they

78
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: would never say exactly who they were talking.

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: Out of the safety of the people they were talking to.

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: We don't want him to get killed by us. We're

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: with one shooting anyway. Fine, but a lot of people said,

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: what the hell, and the whole time he's.

83
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Doing this wrong.

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: Iran has been putting out statement after statement after statements

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: saying ain't no negotiations going on. So yesterday before the speech,

86
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: he said, the president of Iran, we've been talking to him.

87
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: He wants a ceasefire. What hey, look, Iranians used they

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: use X.

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: They responded to that so fast as baseless and false

90
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: to suggest that we want to cease fire and that

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: negotiations are going on. Robes, we have the leaders of

92
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: two different countries saying exactly opposite things about what's happening

93
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: in the background. Now the next question, who do you believe.

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Surely we would normally say, well, of course, the president

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: of the United States.

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I guess we should do that. We're supposed to we should.

97
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: Where is the proof, for the evidence of any kind

98
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 2: that this is happening? Now, even if Iran was denying it, Robes,

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: you turned the United States and they would say, yes,

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: we've been talking to this guy. We understand the statements

101
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: they're putting out, but we assure you that it we're

102
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: not hearing that. We're just saying, eh, maybe somethings and some possibilities.

103
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: And not only are we not hearing that, but then

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 4: last night, when he had the opportunity, when he had

105
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: the eyes of the nation, the eyes of the world

106
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: on him twenty minutes uninterrupted, can say whatever he wants,

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 4: he didn't mention it. That is notable. That is a

108
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: deliberate omission. He knows that that has been his big

109
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been saying that this is why the

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: war is nearly over, because we have obliterated that, because

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: they are begging for mercy. And yet we heard nothing

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: about negotiations last night.

113
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: And so worldes is difficult when we keep hearing the

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: wars winding down and that we have one. He literally

115
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: said this more than a week ago. We have won.

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: That encourages markets, investors.

117
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: The public.

118
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: But then he goes in last night and talking about

119
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: we have this left to do. We're gonna hit them harder,

120
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: We're going to blow him back to the stone Age,

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: and we had this passing mention of negotiations quote, We're

122
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: going to hit them extremely hard.

123
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Over the next two to three weeks.

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: We're going to bring them back to the stone ages

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: That's all he said.

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: And he didn't say negotiations. Discussions could be with your

128
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: own staff. He look words. We do this all teign ropes.

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: We see pr statements, what they choose words for a

130
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: particular reason. Discussions are ongoing. If that was in a

131
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: press conference, your arm would have gone up. Who you're

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: talking to?

133
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What's happening? We didn't get that match.

134
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 4: And when we do have reporters actually follow up and

135
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: ask those specifics, we don't get any and we are

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 4: told it's out of security concerns, we can't give you

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: that information because we want to make sure we ensure

138
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: the safety of the folks we're talking to, And to

139
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: your point, what sense does that make.

140
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: We're the ones who are firing the missiles. We are

141
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: the ones who are.

142
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: Reportedly trying to take out leadership, So why would we

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: take out somebody we're negotiating with. We're the so I

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: get the enemy of Iran in that sense. So who

145
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: else are they fearful that their own people or people

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: within Iran could target that person knowing they're negotiating.

147
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: Maybe that's with Americans the other possible No.

148
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Because he get called then yeahoo up and said don't

149
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: kill the guy we're Yeah, So I don't.

150
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

151
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: But if it's so dangerous that you can't ensure the

152
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: safety of the person you're negotiating with from people in

153
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: his own country, what does that tell you? What what

154
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: type of leadership could that possibly even ensure going forward?

155
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: What's the word he keeps using about the folks he's

156
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: talking to, you reasonable? They're more reasonable than the previous regime.

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: So it's the third group of people who are unnamed

158
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: and unknown to anyone.

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: That is actually accurate right now. So there's arguments about

160
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: the regime roads. We keep hearing about regime change regime change.

161
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: They say the regime has changed. There are other experts

162
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: out there that would tell you, no, you just killed

163
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: a couple of leaders of the regime.

164
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: It's the same regime. They just playing. Was it musical chairs?

165
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: Correct?

166
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: Right now? To see who was the leader. But this

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: happened last night, nine o'clock. He came out right on time.

168
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: He started at the top, and I guess this should

169
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 2: have been expected. But that was a pretty big victory

170
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: yesterday for the United States. Artemis was cool to see

171
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: and he did make comments off the top of a look.

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: It was much needed enjoyment, excitement, and just a feeling

173
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: of pride that has been long missing. I believe in

174
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: this country for quite some time. And so yes to

175
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: see Americans and a Canadian blast off into space on

176
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: a spacecraft that has never been manned before or sorry,

177
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: crewde before, and we'll be going further into space than

178
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: has ever we've ever seen humans go before. This is

179
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 4: all very exciting, cool stuff and leading to a larger

180
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: mission on.

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: The Moon where we're potentially going to have a base

182
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: on the Moon.

183
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: This is all really cool stuff that should be exciting

184
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: and should be celebrated. And yes, the President did acknowledge it,

185
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: because that was the one bright spot.

186
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and then well it went all downhill from there.

187
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: No, it was about a twenty minute speech came out

188
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: the red tie. He was standing at a podium by

189
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: himself in this room. It seemed like early at the

190
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: top he might have been not maybe with staff.

191
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: I don't know when he.

192
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: Said thank you. That was weird. He started off.

193
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: He walks up to the podium in dramatic fashion and

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: begins to speech with thank you.

195
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: So it might have been some people in the room

196
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: he was acknowledging or something. Not sure exactly what that was.

197
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: But yes, the major takeaways here we talked about the

198
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: thing he didn't say. Something else that was major here

199
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: we'll get into is that he is pleading with you Americans,

200
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: for your patients and for you to keep some perspective

201
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: in this war. And he also made a mention of

202
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: oil and that we don't need theirs. We'll get into that,

203
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: but the plea to Americans ropes. He's trying here. He

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: was asked a question in the he kind of got

205
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: into a little back and forth with a reporter in

206
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: the Oval office. I think it was yesterday who kept

207
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: trying to ask about gas prices and oil part prices,

208
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: and his clap back was.

209
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: You're safer, aren't you. Yeah, deal with the gas prices.

210
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll come back down.

211
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: Small price to pay for being safer because you don't

212
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: have a nuclear bomb being lobbed at you, or you

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: don't have incoming ballistic missiles from Iran, so you can

214
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: sleep safely at night. I think you can handle paying

215
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: a little more at the pump.

216
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: It was a little condescend, you know. It didn't sympathize

217
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: at all with what Americans might be going through. He

218
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: just said, yeah, pay for gas. I'm making you safer.

219
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: But he did go a little farther ropes in his

220
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: comment last night, pleading with Americans and going through and

221
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: listing other major wars and essentially comparing the timelines of

222
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: those wars to the timeline so far of the war

223
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: in Iran.

224
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: Yes, so he went on to say this, it is

225
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 4: very important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American

226
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 4: involvement and World War One lasted one year, seven months

227
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: and five days. World War two lasted for three years,

228
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: eight months and twenty five days. The Korean War lasted

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 4: for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam

230
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: War lasted for nineteen years, five months and twenty nine days.

231
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: The Iraq War went on for eight years, eight months,

232
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: twenty eight days. You see what he's doing here, obviously

233
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: creating the perspective, y'all are being impatient. You want results,

234
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: And it's only been a matter of days, he says.

235
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: We are in this military operation, so powerful, so brilliant,

236
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: against one of the most powerful countries for thirty two days,

237
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: and the country has been eviscerated and is essentially.

238
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: Really no longer a threat.

239
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: They were the bully of the Middle East, but they're

240
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: the bully no longer. This is a true investment in

241
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: your children and your grandchildren's future.

242
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: Does that land?

243
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: Does that land in making a case to people right

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: now who are dealing with airports, dealing with gas prices,

245
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: dealing with an increase and prices of all kinds of

246
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: stuff and uncertainty?

247
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: Does that? Is that a good pitch?

248
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: It would be if Americans believe that Iran was an

249
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: imminent threat. And I think there is the problem for

250
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: the president in that most people did not walk around,

251
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: did not feel on a daily basis that somehow our safety,

252
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 4: our security as a nation was under threat by Iran,

253
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: so we're supposed to believe him when he tells us

254
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: that they were about to be able to strike the homeland.

255
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

256
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Americans most were willing to listen, Okay,

257
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: we're going to we'll right now.

258
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: Why did we have to do this?

259
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: And I think Robes and immediately twenty four forty eight

260
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: seventy two hours afterwards, we were hearing from so very

261
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: many different members of the administration, and we didn't get

262
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: real clarity on what we were doing, why we were

263
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: doing it. And you remember, they're going to have a

264
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon within days if we didn't strike.

265
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that.

266
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: Yet after we obliterated their nuclear capabilities months earlier this

267
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: past summer.

268
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: So there's the problem.

269
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: When you tell us one thing and then six months

270
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 4: later tell us a completely other thing to justify a war.

271
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: We weren't even anticipating.

272
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: You got a problem, and Americans aren't stupid, Robes. When

273
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: you say a line like that Iran is essentially really

274
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: no longer younger a threat, then what are we doing

275
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: for the next two or three weeks?

276
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and what about all those caveats? Essentially really, yeah.

277
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean, look that matters. Words matter.

278
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: He is couching everything he's saying with adverbs or whatever

279
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: descriptives that contradict certainty.

280
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: Well, you say it like that generally for the most part,

281
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean kind of sort of. I mean,

282
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: he's using kind of language like that when it comes

283
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: to war. But he's telling us that they're no longer

284
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: a threat. We hear that, and that Robes is supposed

285
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: to be encouraging for Yes, investors and Americans, but he

286
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: tells us they're no longer a threat two or three weeks,

287
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: two or three weeks. He's telling us all to get

288
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: buckled in and this war is going to go another

289
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: two or three weeks. Nobody liked hearing that yesterday, Robes,

290
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: because we've heard this, have we not from day one?

291
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: You should wrap this up in a week or so?

292
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: Eh two or three weeks. We've heard these numbers and

293
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: these timelines.

294
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: It feels like after the first day we were told

295
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: everything was gone, the navy was obliterated, the army gone,

296
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 4: the regime completely murdered, killed everyone, like it was as

297
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: if everything was wiped out and mission accomplished. He didn't

298
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: say that, obviously, but but in so many different ways.

299
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: He has been saying that we've won from almost the

300
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: first day he used that word.

301
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: He said, we won, So, yeah, mission accomplished. He didn't

302
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: have a banner up behind him. Sure, maybe everybody's learned

303
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: that lesson, but he said we've won, and it had

304
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: the same impact. He might as well have had the banner, Babe,

305
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: He might as well have been on an aircraft carrier.

306
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Because we listened to the president's say we have one

307
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: a war that has continued weeks after he said we

308
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: want it, and it still doesn't look like we have

309
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: a good way out of it. So, like I said, folks,

310
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: don't just listen to us. Oil prices went up, stock

311
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: prices went down. But stay here. He made two other

312
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: comments that really got attention, one of them having to

313
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: do with oil, saying the US doesn't even need your oil.

314
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: We got plenty. That didn't sit well with a lot

315
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: of folks. And you remember that deadline, Well it's coming

316
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: up on April sixth, a deadline that if they don't

317
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: open the straight or her moves, we will blow them

318
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: to smithereens. Well, didn't hear anything about that last night?

319
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: All right, continue here, on Amy and TJ a late

320
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: night a lot of people might not have stayed up

321
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: and seeing the Prime Time addressed from the President but

322
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: addressing the war in Iran, letting us know where things are,

323
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: and Ropes said, two or three weeks coming up on

324
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: Monday is a deadline that he set saying if we

325
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: don't have a deal by April sixth, then I will

326
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: blow up your energy infrastructure and your main energy power,

327
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: all this stuff.

328
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: Didn't hear a word about it last night.

329
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you said a deadline, he said a deadline.

330
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: He's pushed back twice.

331
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: So he gave them what was at forty eight hours.

332
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: Initially that it was five days, then it was ten days.

333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: So he's literally pushed the goalpost back two times.

334
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: It is now set at April sixth.

335
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: And when you draw a line in the sand like that,

336
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: when you give somebody an ultimatum and you've pushed it

337
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 4: back twice, Now, what are you going to do on

338
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: this third time? Are you actually going to follow through?

339
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: If you say something. I remember someone giving me this

340
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: advice as a parent. If you threaten a punishment, if

341
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: you threaten a consequence, you absolutely have to deliver because

342
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: if you do not. You will never be taken seriously

343
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: again by your child.

344
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

345
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: And I think about that.

346
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: Just on a micro level as a parent, and then

347
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: applying that to the macro level of yes, we're in

348
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 4: the middle of a war and you are making this

349
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: hard line.

350
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: You've said it. What are you going to do when

351
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: they don't blink?

352
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: They didn't blink.

353
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: And what he's been able to do Rope so far

354
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: is to say, well, the reason I haven't followed through

355
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: is because negotiations are going.

356
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: So well, negotiations that he didn't mention last night, the

357
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: deadline that he didn't refer to last night.

358
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: Notice also he went a lot softer on NATO allies.

359
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: He had been eviscerating folks in Europe for their unwillingness

360
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 4: to help us in our war, them very clearly, many

361
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: of them coming out and saying, yeah, it's not our war,

362
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: We're not about to do it. We heard even Marco

363
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: Rubio saying we don't need to be in NATO. President

364
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: Trump basically saying the same thing, let's get out of NATO.

365
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: No mention of that last night, whatsoever.

366
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: It was a I was I don't know what we

367
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: were expecting.

368
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: The information, Yeah, you know, what.

369
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: We just said is more notable for what he didn't say.

370
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: A lot of what we heard last night wasn't new. No,

371
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: he just had a bigger audience for it, and he

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: had this prime time But if you raised the level,

373
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: if you say, I want a prime time address, and

374
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: we didn't hear anything new.

375
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: We were thinking there was going to be some sort

376
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: of information, something we all needed to know as a nation.

377
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 3: This was going to be a big deal to have

378
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: this formal address.

379
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: It's not supposed to be a pr campaign where you're

380
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: trying to get people on your side, and that's basically

381
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: what this was. He was trying to convince us still

382
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: that the war was worthy and that we were winning it.

383
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: But he was not there to give us.

384
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: Any new information, any new update, And so that was

385
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 4: where I think a lot of people were just scratching

386
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: their heads.

387
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: What is this for? Why are we watching this? What

388
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: are we listening to?

389
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: So much talk about the straight of horror moves as

390
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: well robes and twenty percent of the world's oil going

391
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: through there, but a lot of it is not making

392
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: his way to the United States. We don't get a

393
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: lot of oil from Gulf countries, but the President said,

394
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: we don't give a damn about the straight of horror

395
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: moves last night and say not yourself out. We got

396
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: plenty of oil. We don't need the oil. That might

397
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: be true. There's a problem though, we have to care

398
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: because of that oil is not on the world market.

399
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: Oil prices will continue to go up. Gas prices will

400
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: continue to go up. So a lot of people heard

401
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: that it's almost being dismissed if like it's no big

402
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: deal to us, to the straight up wour moves. It

403
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: is a huge deal to us.

404
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: And it also twice in the face of prior statements

405
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: he made just you know earlier this week saying I

406
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: love taking Iranian oil.

407
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: I want to take their oil.

408
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: So it just he says one thing one day, he

409
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: says the complete opposite the next day.

410
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: Which one is true? Which one are we supposed to believe?

411
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: It's an evolving situation, Rose, it's an evolving situation. Hey,

412
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: it's war man, It's an evolving situation. But last night

413
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: we were expecting, and I think a lot of people Rose,

414
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: maybe we're hoping for and expecting more guidance the off

415
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: ramp people keep talking about.

416
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: Didn't hear it last night.

417
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: And there was not a plan for an off ramp.

418
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: There wasn't even any cifix for how we're getting out

419
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 4: of it. It was almost as if because there was

420
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: no mention of negotiations, no mention of a ceasefire, it

421
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 4: was almost like, we're just going to keep blowing things

422
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: up until we can't blow anything else up anymore, and

423
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: then we're just going to leave. Because there was no

424
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 4: mention of ground troops, there was no mention of all

425
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: of these other possibilities.

426
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: And actually that was one of the possibilities.

427
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 4: I think people were expecting he might be saying, either

428
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: there is a ceasefire, there is negotiation, or we're sending

429
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: troops in. There was like to me to put up

430
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: and to ask for that prime time bit of airtime

431
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 4: from all the broadcast networks. You would think it would

432
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: be something like we are sending troops in. Our men

433
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: and women are are going to invade Iran in very

434
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 4: targeted attacks or floors over something.

435
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: Nothing and so right.

436
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: There was no specifics about any change of course, any

437
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: new developments.

438
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: It was just like, here's why it's.

439
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 4: Not so bad, and it's not been that long, but

440
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: my goodness, there really wasn't a headline of any new information.
