WEBVTT - Your Gas Got More Expensive After Trump's Primetime Address 

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks.

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, April second, and President Trump made a

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>major primetime address updating us all on the war in

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Iran last night. You might have missed it if you

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't stay up late. So how did the speech go?

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>This tells you everything you need to know. Oil prices

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>shot up, stock market shot down, and with that, welcome

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Robes. That's been the routine. Now. The president speaks, and.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Then you go look at oil prices and you go

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>look at the stock market, and one is going to

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>go up, one is going to go down, and that

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 2>lets you know essentially what he said.

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 4>But the interesting thing is, normally, when he had said,

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 4>at least previously, when he had said the war was

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 4>almost over, we were wrapping things up, we saw the

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 4>markets shoot up, oil prices go down. This time when

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 4>he said kind of the same thing without any real

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 4>specifics or verification, Yeah, they did the opposite.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's look that this has been the game almost daily.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Robes is back and forth and look, we stayed up

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>late watch the speech, and we're wondering how it was

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 2>going to be received. We know how we received it,

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>but it is an indication Robes oil prices went up

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>six percent.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>After his speech. They're over around one hundred and six dollars.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I believe stock markets all over the world as we're

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>recording this have gone down, in particular Asian markets are

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>down and stock futures in the US are down.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Why Robes.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>The reason is people are looking for a way out

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>and thought this thing was wrapping up, and he was

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty vague if you will about that timeline.

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Wouldn't you say that trust is down? Because what's what's

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 4>important is when the president speaks, you believe him. When

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 4>the president says something is so, it must be. This

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 4>has been proven to not be the case. And so

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 4>now when the president says something, unless he has verification,

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>unless he has proof, unless he has specifics, no one

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>is necessarily taking him at his word.

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 3>And to that point, most.

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Folks are now looking at what he didn't say, trying

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 4>to read between the lines to figure out where the

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 4>truth lies.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And that's a big problem.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 4>For Americans, for the world, for the markets. This is

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 4>due territory. It's hard to imagine where at a place

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 4>where we need receipts, we need proof from our president.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>What he's saying is happening is in fact happening.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>It was a famous Reagan line, right, trust but verify.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>He was talking about a Russian leader when he said that,

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>trust but verify. So the speech last night, it was

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>built as a big one nine o'clock. He got prime

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>time coverage last evening, And to your point, Robes, we're

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>going to go through the major takeaways from the speech

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>based on what he said, Robes, let's start at the

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>top here. Isn't the number one thing from this speech

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>what he did not say.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, because it was a departure from what we've been

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 4>hearing him say time and time again over the last

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 4>several days, saying that negotiations were going on between Iran

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 4>and the United States. They were begging for us to

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 4>stop firing our missiles, they were begging for a cease fire,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>they had agreed to our fifteen point plan. Iran had

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 4>said that they would stop enriching weapons, greed, uranium.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all of that. He said all of.

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Those things repeatedly and often, and yet in his speech

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 4>last night he said nothing about negotiations, whether or not

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 4>they had happened, whether or not they were ongoing, and

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 4>least of which that they were successful.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Passing mention. This has been talked about Robes for several days.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>He even moved a deadline because he said negotiations were

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>going well. At various times the past several days, they

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>have said, yeah, we're talking to this guy, well, yeah,

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>we talked to some people, were talking to somebody. Yeah,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>this guy seems like he's in George, and then they

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>would never say exactly who they were talking.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Out of the safety of the people they were talking to.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>We don't want him to get killed by us. We're

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>with one shooting anyway. Fine, but a lot of people said,

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>what the hell, and the whole time he's.

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Doing this wrong.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Iran has been putting out statement after statement after statements

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>saying ain't no negotiations going on. So yesterday before the speech,

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>he said, the president of Iran, we've been talking to him.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>He wants a ceasefire. What hey, look, Iranians used they

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>use X.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>They responded to that so fast as baseless and false

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>to suggest that we want to cease fire and that

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>negotiations are going on. Robes, we have the leaders of

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 2>two different countries saying exactly opposite things about what's happening

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>in the background. Now the next question, who do you believe.

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Surely we would normally say, well, of course, the president

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>of the United States.

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess we should do that. We're supposed to we should.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Where is the proof, for the evidence of any kind

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.679
<v Speaker 2>that this is happening? Now, even if Iran was denying it, Robes,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you turned the United States and they would say, yes,

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking to this guy. We understand the statements

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 2>they're putting out, but we assure you that it we're

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>not hearing that. We're just saying, eh, maybe somethings and some possibilities.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 4>And not only are we not hearing that, but then

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 4>last night, when he had the opportunity, when he had

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 4>the eyes of the nation, the eyes of the world

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 4>on him twenty minutes uninterrupted, can say whatever he wants,

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 4>he didn't mention it. That is notable. That is a

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 4>deliberate omission. He knows that that has been his big

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he's been saying that this is why the

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 4>war is nearly over, because we have obliterated that, because

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 4>they are begging for mercy. And yet we heard nothing

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 4>about negotiations last night.

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>And so worldes is difficult when we keep hearing the

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>wars winding down and that we have one. He literally

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 2>said this more than a week ago. We have won.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>That encourages markets, investors.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>The public.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>But then he goes in last night and talking about

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>we have this left to do. We're gonna hit them harder,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 2>We're going to blow him back to the stone Age,

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and we had this passing mention of negotiations quote, We're

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>going to hit them extremely hard.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Over the next two to three weeks.

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 2>We're going to bring them back to the stone ages

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 3>That's all he said.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 2>And he didn't say negotiations. Discussions could be with your

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 2>own staff. He look words. We do this all teign ropes.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>We see pr statements, what they choose words for a

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>particular reason. Discussions are ongoing. If that was in a

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>press conference, your arm would have gone up. Who you're

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>talking to?

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? What's happening? We didn't get that match.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 4>And when we do have reporters actually follow up and

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>ask those specifics, we don't get any and we are

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 4>told it's out of security concerns, we can't give you

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 4>that information because we want to make sure we ensure

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 4>the safety of the folks we're talking to, And to

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 4>your point, what sense does that make.

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 3>We're the ones who are firing the missiles. We are

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 3>the ones who are.

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Reportedly trying to take out leadership, So why would we

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 4>take out somebody we're negotiating with. We're the so I

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 4>get the enemy of Iran in that sense. So who

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 4>else are they fearful that their own people or people

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>within Iran could target that person knowing they're negotiating.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's with Americans the other possible No.

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Because he get called then yeahoo up and said don't

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>kill the guy we're Yeah, So I don't.

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 4>But if it's so dangerous that you can't ensure the

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 4>safety of the person you're negotiating with from people in

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 4>his own country, what does that tell you? What what

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 4>type of leadership could that possibly even ensure going forward?

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>What's the word he keeps using about the folks he's

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>talking to, you reasonable? They're more reasonable than the previous regime.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's the third group of people who are unnamed

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 3>and unknown to anyone.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>That is actually accurate right now. So there's arguments about

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the regime roads. We keep hearing about regime change regime change.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>They say the regime has changed. There are other experts

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>out there that would tell you, no, you just killed

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of leaders of the regime.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the same regime. They just playing. Was it musical chairs?

0:07:59.280 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Correct?

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Right now? To see who was the leader. But this

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>happened last night, nine o'clock. He came out right on time.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>He started at the top, and I guess this should

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.119
<v Speaker 2>have been expected. But that was a pretty big victory

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>yesterday for the United States. Artemis was cool to see

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and he did make comments off the top of a look.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 4>It was much needed enjoyment, excitement, and just a feeling

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 4>of pride that has been long missing. I believe in

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 4>this country for quite some time. And so yes to

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 4>see Americans and a Canadian blast off into space on

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 4>a spacecraft that has never been manned before or sorry,

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 4>crewde before, and we'll be going further into space than

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 4>has ever we've ever seen humans go before. This is

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 4>all very exciting, cool stuff and leading to a larger

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 4>mission on.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 3>The Moon where we're potentially going to have a base

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 3>on the Moon.

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 4>This is all really cool stuff that should be exciting

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 4>and should be celebrated. And yes, the President did acknowledge it,

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 4>because that was the one bright spot.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and then well it went all downhill from there.

0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>No, it was about a twenty minute speech came out

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the red tie. He was standing at a podium by

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 2>himself in this room. It seemed like early at the

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>top he might have been not maybe with staff.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when he.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Said thank you. That was weird. He started off.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 4>He walks up to the podium in dramatic fashion and

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 4>begins to speech with thank you.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>So it might have been some people in the room

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>he was acknowledging or something. Not sure exactly what that was.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>But yes, the major takeaways here we talked about the

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 2>thing he didn't say. Something else that was major here

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into is that he is pleading with you Americans,

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>for your patients and for you to keep some perspective

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>in this war. And he also made a mention of

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 2>oil and that we don't need theirs. We'll get into that,

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 2>but the plea to Americans ropes. He's trying here. He

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>was asked a question in the he kind of got

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 2>into a little back and forth with a reporter in

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 2>the Oval office. I think it was yesterday who kept

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to ask about gas prices and oil part prices,

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and his clap back was.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You're safer, aren't you. Yeah, deal with the gas prices.

0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they'll come back down.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Small price to pay for being safer because you don't

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 4>have a nuclear bomb being lobbed at you, or you

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 4>don't have incoming ballistic missiles from Iran, so you can

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 4>sleep safely at night. I think you can handle paying

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 4>a little more at the pump.

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 2>It was a little condescend, you know. It didn't sympathize

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>at all with what Americans might be going through. He

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>just said, yeah, pay for gas. I'm making you safer.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>But he did go a little farther ropes in his

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>comment last night, pleading with Americans and going through and

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 2>listing other major wars and essentially comparing the timelines of

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 2>those wars to the timeline so far of the war

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>in Iran.

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so he went on to say this, it is

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 4>very important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 4>involvement and World War One lasted one year, seven months

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 4>and five days. World War two lasted for three years,

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 4>eight months and twenty five days. The Korean War lasted

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 4>for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 4>War lasted for nineteen years, five months and twenty nine days.

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 4>The Iraq War went on for eight years, eight months,

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 4>twenty eight days. You see what he's doing here, obviously

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 4>creating the perspective, y'all are being impatient. You want results,

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 4>And it's only been a matter of days, he says.

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 4>We are in this military operation, so powerful, so brilliant,

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 4>against one of the most powerful countries for thirty two days,

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 4>and the country has been eviscerated and is essentially.

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Really no longer a threat.

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 4>They were the bully of the Middle East, but they're

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 4>the bully no longer. This is a true investment in

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 4>your children and your grandchildren's future.

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Does that land?

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Does that land in making a case to people right

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 2>now who are dealing with airports, dealing with gas prices,

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>dealing with an increase and prices of all kinds of

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 2>stuff and uncertainty?

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Does that? Is that a good pitch?

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 4>It would be if Americans believe that Iran was an

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 4>imminent threat. And I think there is the problem for

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>the president in that most people did not walk around,

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 4>did not feel on a daily basis that somehow our safety,

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 4>our security as a nation was under threat by Iran,

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>so we're supposed to believe him when he tells us

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 4>that they were about to be able to strike the homeland.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing.

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of Americans most were willing to listen, Okay,

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 2>we're going to we'll right now.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Why did we have to do this?

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think Robes and immediately twenty four forty eight

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 2>seventy two hours afterwards, we were hearing from so very

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 2>many different members of the administration, and we didn't get

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 2>real clarity on what we were doing, why we were

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>doing it. And you remember, they're going to have a

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>nuclear weapon within days if we didn't strike.

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen that.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Yet after we obliterated their nuclear capabilities months earlier this

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 4>past summer.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 3>So there's the problem.

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 4>When you tell us one thing and then six months

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 4>later tell us a completely other thing to justify a war.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 3>We weren't even anticipating.

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>You got a problem, and Americans aren't stupid, Robes. When

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 2>you say a line like that Iran is essentially really

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 2>no longer younger a threat, then what are we doing

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>for the next two or three weeks?

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and what about all those caveats? Essentially really, yeah.

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look that matters. Words matter.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 4>He is couching everything he's saying with adverbs or whatever

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 4>descriptives that contradict certainty.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, you say it like that generally for the most part,

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean kind of sort of. I mean,

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>he's using kind of language like that when it comes

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 2>to war. But he's telling us that they're no longer

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a threat. We hear that, and that Robes is supposed

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to be encouraging for Yes, investors and Americans, but he

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>tells us they're no longer a threat two or three weeks,

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>two or three weeks. He's telling us all to get

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 2>buckled in and this war is going to go another

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 2>two or three weeks. Nobody liked hearing that yesterday, Robes,

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 2>because we've heard this, have we not from day one?

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 2>You should wrap this up in a week or so?

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Eh two or three weeks. We've heard these numbers and

0:13:59.200 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>these timelines.

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 4>It feels like after the first day we were told

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 4>everything was gone, the navy was obliterated, the army gone,

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 4>the regime completely murdered, killed everyone, like it was as

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 4>if everything was wiped out and mission accomplished. He didn't

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 4>say that, obviously, but but in so many different ways.

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 4>He has been saying that we've won from almost the

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 4>first day he used that word.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>He said, we won, So, yeah, mission accomplished. He didn't

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 2>have a banner up behind him. Sure, maybe everybody's learned

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 2>that lesson, but he said we've won, and it had

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the same impact. He might as well have had the banner, Babe,

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>He might as well have been on an aircraft carrier.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Because we listened to the president's say we have one

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>a war that has continued weeks after he said we

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>want it, and it still doesn't look like we have

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a good way out of it. So, like I said, folks,

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 2>don't just listen to us. Oil prices went up, stock

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>prices went down. But stay here. He made two other

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 2>comments that really got attention, one of them having to

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 2>do with oil, saying the US doesn't even need your oil.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>We got plenty. That didn't sit well with a lot

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 2>of folks. And you remember that deadline, Well it's coming

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>up on April sixth, a deadline that if they don't

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>open the straight or her moves, we will blow them

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to smithereens. Well, didn't hear anything about that last night?

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, continue here, on Amy and TJ a late

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>night a lot of people might not have stayed up

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and seeing the Prime Time addressed from the President but

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 2>addressing the war in Iran, letting us know where things are,

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and Ropes said, two or three weeks coming up on

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Monday is a deadline that he set saying if we

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have a deal by April sixth, then I will

0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>blow up your energy infrastructure and your main energy power,

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff.

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Didn't hear a word about it last night.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you said a deadline, he said a deadline.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 3>He's pushed back twice.

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 4>So he gave them what was at forty eight hours.

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Initially that it was five days, then it was ten days.

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 4>So he's literally pushed the goalpost back two times.

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 3>It is now set at April sixth.

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 4>And when you draw a line in the sand like that,

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 4>when you give somebody an ultimatum and you've pushed it

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 4>back twice, Now, what are you going to do on

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 4>this third time? Are you actually going to follow through?

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 4>If you say something. I remember someone giving me this

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 4>advice as a parent. If you threaten a punishment, if

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 4>you threaten a consequence, you absolutely have to deliver because

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>if you do not. You will never be taken seriously

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 4>again by your child.

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 3>And I think about that.

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Just on a micro level as a parent, and then

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 4>applying that to the macro level of yes, we're in

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 4>the middle of a war and you are making this

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 4>hard line.

0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 3>You've said it. What are you going to do when

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 3>they don't blink?

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>They didn't blink.

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 2>And what he's been able to do Rope so far

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 2>is to say, well, the reason I haven't followed through

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>is because negotiations are going.

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 4>So well, negotiations that he didn't mention last night, the

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 4>deadline that he didn't refer to last night.

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Notice also he went a lot softer on NATO allies.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 4>He had been eviscerating folks in Europe for their unwillingness

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 4>to help us in our war, them very clearly, many

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 4>of them coming out and saying, yeah, it's not our war,

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 4>We're not about to do it. We heard even Marco

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 4>Rubio saying we don't need to be in NATO. President

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Trump basically saying the same thing, let's get out of NATO.

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 3>No mention of that last night, whatsoever.

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It was a I was I don't know what we

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 2>were expecting.

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 3>The information, Yeah, you know, what.

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>We just said is more notable for what he didn't say.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 2>A lot of what we heard last night wasn't new. No,

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>he just had a bigger audience for it, and he

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>had this prime time But if you raised the level,

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 2>if you say, I want a prime time address, and

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>we didn't hear anything new.

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 4>We were thinking there was going to be some sort

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 4>of information, something we all needed to know as a nation.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:16.959
<v Speaker 3>This was going to be a big deal to have

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 3>this formal address.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 4>It's not supposed to be a pr campaign where you're

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 4>trying to get people on your side, and that's basically

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 4>what this was. He was trying to convince us still

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 4>that the war was worthy and that we were winning it.

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 3>But he was not there to give us.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Any new information, any new update, And so that was

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 4>where I think a lot of people were just scratching

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 4>their heads.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 3>What is this for? Why are we watching this? What

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 3>are we listening to?

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So much talk about the straight of horror moves as

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 2>well robes and twenty percent of the world's oil going

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 2>through there, but a lot of it is not making

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>his way to the United States. We don't get a

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of oil from Gulf countries, but the President said,

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>we don't give a damn about the straight of horror

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 2>moves last night and say not yourself out. We got

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 2>plenty of oil. We don't need the oil. That might

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 2>be true. There's a problem though, we have to care

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 2>because of that oil is not on the world market.

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Oil prices will continue to go up. Gas prices will

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>continue to go up. So a lot of people heard

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 2>that it's almost being dismissed if like it's no big

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 2>deal to us, to the straight up wour moves. It

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>is a huge deal to us.

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 4>And it also twice in the face of prior statements

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 4>he made just you know earlier this week saying I

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 4>love taking Iranian oil.

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 3>I want to take their oil.

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.439
<v Speaker 4>So it just he says one thing one day, he

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 4>says the complete opposite the next day.

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Which one is true? Which one are we supposed to believe?

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 2>It's an evolving situation, Rose, it's an evolving situation. Hey,

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>it's war man, It's an evolving situation. But last night

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>we were expecting, and I think a lot of people Rose,

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe we're hoping for and expecting more guidance the off

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>ramp people keep talking about.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Didn't hear it last night.

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 4>And there was not a plan for an off ramp.

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 4>There wasn't even any cifix for how we're getting out

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.959
<v Speaker 4>of it. It was almost as if because there was

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 4>no mention of negotiations, no mention of a ceasefire, it

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 4>was almost like, we're just going to keep blowing things

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 4>up until we can't blow anything else up anymore, and

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 4>then we're just going to leave. Because there was no

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 4>mention of ground troops, there was no mention of all

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 4>of these other possibilities.

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 3>And actually that was one of the possibilities.

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 4>I think people were expecting he might be saying, either

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 4>there is a ceasefire, there is negotiation, or we're sending

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 4>troops in. There was like to me to put up

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 4>and to ask for that prime time bit of airtime

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 4>from all the broadcast networks. You would think it would

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.160
<v Speaker 4>be something like we are sending troops in. Our men

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 4>and women are are going to invade Iran in very

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 4>targeted attacks or floors over something.

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Nothing and so right.

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 4>There was no specifics about any change of course, any

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 4>new developments.

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 3>It was just like, here's why it's.

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.919
<v Speaker 4>Not so bad, and it's not been that long, but

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 4>my goodness, there really wasn't a headline of any new information.

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.760
