1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Monday, March ninth, and we just

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: listened to President Trump give his first Q and a

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: press conference since the start of the war. We want

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: to hop on here on this episode of Amy and

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: TJ to let you know what came out of that.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: I guess some newsworthy stuff in there, some stuff I

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: would love to see the evidence of in there, but

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: as good as him take questions, rogues, and I guess,

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: top of everybody's mind, when is this thing going to

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: be over? There's been different messaging out there. He was

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: asked directly about possibly being over this week.

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and he refuted that sentiment like, absolutely not. It

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: will not be over this week. But he did say

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 2: it was going to be over soon, and we keep

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: hearing that soon. And he did say that we are

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: ahead of schedule, that things have gone better, not maybe

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: better than expected, but quicker than expected.

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: And part of the problem the presidents come out here

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: now ropes have been so many people speaking on behalf

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: of the administration, and even the President has been doing

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: different interviews with so many different reporters that the messaging

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: is all over the place, and the messaging, once again,

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: it seems to be moving around.

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: Why did we do this, why did we have to

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: do this? And why do we have to do this?

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Now we got some new quotes from him, some new timelines,

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: and apparently we all would have been blown to smitherings

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: by now.

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 4: Okay, I want to know what you think.

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Do we looked at each other because we were listening,

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: but think our jaws were collectively dropped. And if any

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: of you were listening, if you haven't, you should go

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: back and listen to this part because the President was suggesting,

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: as best I could tell that if we had not

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: done the Operation Midnight Hammer, that within two to four weeks,

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Iran would have had nuclear weapons, and he was saying

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: that this press conference may not have been able to

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: happen at all, and the implication is.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: Because we would have all been blown to bits. Yeah,

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: that was a little shocking.

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what to make I mean, he

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: has said this. I mean he has said this more

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: than once though Robes he said this not too terribly

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: long ago, that we had to we looked at each

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: other at that point because he was talking about the

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: reason he had to go to war now is because

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: they were going to attack. He repeated that sentiment here,

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: but he added more to it in this press conference robes.

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: They weren't just going to attack, He said, they were

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: looking at taking over their own, their neighborhood.

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: He said, I counted at least four times, but I

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: started counting later. That Iran was absolutely going to take

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: over the Middle East.

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: It's a direct quote, that is verbatim, and he.

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: Said it multiple times.

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: He said that their missiles were pointed directly at their neighbors.

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: He actually mentioned UAE. I don't think you mentioned another

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: specific country, but he said that they saw that the

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: missiles were pointed at their neighbors. They were going to

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: take over the Middle East.

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 4: But again he was and he said he was implying no.

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: He directly said that if we had not acted as

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: we did this summer and certainly just recently when we

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: went in with Israel, that Iran not only would have

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: been able to have nuclear weapons, but they would have

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 2: used them.

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: That's what he said, and he kind of added the

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: part at the end with almost a little smirk. I

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: don't even know if we'd be here, I don't even

70
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: know if we'd be having this press conference. It was interesting.

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: He'll get follow ups on that. Let's go through the list. Here.

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Two big things we want to get to the new

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Supreme leader and information about the girls school. Now, let's

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: start with the girls school. This happened on was it

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: day one to day two? Although the war started, a

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: missile hit a girls school, it ends up killing The

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: last count was at least one hundred and fifty plus

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: dead at that school. Now, news organizations and other analysis

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: has been going on taking a look at this, and

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: the evidence is piling up that it was a US

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: missile that hit that school. So Roe was the president.

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: We knew he was going to be asked about it today.

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: He had already had previously just kind of said, I

84
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: believe it was Iran. He said that on Air Force one. Correct,

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: he got asked about it twice, and I think it

86
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: was the second guy who kind of held his feet

87
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: to the fire a little more. But when he was

88
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: answering it initially, he he said it might have been

89
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: a Tomahawk, but we're not the only ones who have

90
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: American Tomahawk missiles.

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: Correct, he said, several countries have them.

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: But then he did specifically say that Iran also has

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: Tomahawk missiles and it was very possibly Iran, as well,

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: so when the follow up question came a few questions later,

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: the reporter, it was a male reporter, he actually went

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: pretty strong and said, why is it that everyone else

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: is saying something different than you. No one else is

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: saying that those were potentially or that was potentially an

99
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: Iranian missile. Even your own defense secretary has said we

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: are investigating.

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: Why are you the only one saying this?

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: It was it was one of the only questions that

103
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: actually held the President's feet to the fire, and he

104
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: backed off, and he backed I was so surprised. I

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: thought Trump was going to be angry. I thought he

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: was going to fire back, and he actually said, you

107
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: know what, it could have been iron Yes, it could

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: have been one of their missiles.

109
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: And he said, but I.

110
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: Will let the investigation take place, and whatever I will

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: stand by, or I will deal with whatever that investigation

112
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: shows to be true, or we'll live with That's what

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: he said, I'll live with whatever the investigation show.

114
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: So he did back away from that a little bit.

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: Now.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: He also gave us some more quotes about why we

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: had to attack wherebes it's this idea we had to

118
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: do this or they were going to strike. But he

119
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: gave us another good belief quote. If you remember that,

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: what was the original?

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: The origin was, oh right, So it was he had

122
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: a feeling based on feeling, and then Carolyn Levitt had

123
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: to follow up saying he had a feeling based on facts.

124
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: We've been saying this back and forth to one another

125
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: over the weekend, just you know, for the fun of it,

126
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: because it's a it is it's an interesting way to

127
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: put something. But so, yes, it's all about the president's feeling.

128
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: He had a feeling, he had a belief. This is

129
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: where he's saying today, I have a belief. So he's

130
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: gone up from a feeling to a belief.

131
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: But he went double belief in his quote here and

132
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: he said this. He said, I believe upon information and

133
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: belief that it was going to take over the Middle East.

134
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: They were looking to take over the Middle East. I

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: believe upon information and belief.

136
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: You and I looked at each other when he said that,

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: So is belief. Does that make you feel a little

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: bit better than a feeling.

139
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: I believe upon information and belief it was going to

140
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: take over the At least he's a wordsmith. Look, this

141
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: is this is only that only jumped out it never

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: would have. It was only because the feelings and facts.

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Then, yes, then he had a feeling based on facts,

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: and that's why he made the decision, because he had

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: a feeling that Iran was going to attack. Now he

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: has a belief upon information and belief that Iran was

147
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: going to take over the Middle.

148
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: East, and that's why he no.

149
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: It is it is amazing how each time we get

150
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: a slightly different or a very different response as to

151
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: the why and how he came up with this plan

152
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: and why.

153
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: Now that's been the interesting thing.

154
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he did talk about Steve Wycoff, He did

155
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: talk about Jared Kushner saying that Iran He did reiterate

156
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: this today in the presser that Iran absolutely refused to

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: stop seeking a nuclear weapon period. And once he realized so,

158
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: he said, once I heard from Steve, once I heard

159
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: from Jared, I knew that this was we were going

160
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: to have to do things the hard way.

161
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Well, of course, in the Brest conference today, we expected Robes,

162
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: We anticipated the first question. It was going to be

163
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: his feeling about the new Supreme Leader, who of course

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: is the son of the old Supreme Leader. Some stuff

165
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: has been trickling out in some of the interviews he's

166
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: been doing, but it was not really clear what his

167
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: feeling was. It was the first question from the first reporter.

168
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: He ends up skipping over it. I don't know if

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you just forgot to get to that part of it

170
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: or not. But he didn't answer it. But somebody asked

171
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: them the question later, and I guess we have clarity

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: now about how he feels about the guy.

173
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: You know.

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised by his answer because he

175
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: was very he was very strong in his language before

176
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: there was a successor named, and he did even mention

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: the possibility that Harmone's son could be named and said

178
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: it would be unacceptable. He made a very strong remark

179
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: that you know it, basically, they won't be in power

180
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: long if I'm not okaying this, if I'm not overseeing this.

181
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 4: But today he backed out a little bit.

182
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: He he didn't come out as so. He said he

183
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: didn't want to go there basically, is what he told reporters.

184
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: I don't think that would be fair. I don't want

185
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: to put a target on his back.

186
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's me was clear that he was disappointed,

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: is how he said it in the selection. But I

188
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: think just once he was asked that directly about if

189
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: he is a target and that's what you mean, and

190
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: his language when he say it wouldn't be appropriate, it'd

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: be inappropriate to say if the Supreme Leader has a

192
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: target on his back.

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: I'm surprised.

194
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I thought he would have said he better watches back

195
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: because we're coming for you. I actually thought he was

196
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: going to go there, and he didn't. And then he

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: went on to pivot to talk about his own assassination

198
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: attempt and how in this in these strikes they were

199
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: able to get the guy who was trying to kill him.

200
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: And the analysts will tell you that what you're seeing

201
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: there is the president trying to manage expectations publicly. You

202
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: can't go too He's looking. I don't want to say

203
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: an all ramp just yet, but you gotta find some

204
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: kind of way. They just put the sun in what

205
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: are you going to do now?

206
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: Right?

207
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: So you have going to commit to regime change. So

208
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: that might be a way of the President looking for

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: a way to not completely obliterate the possibility of some

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of compromise.

211
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: Wow, because I was actually thinking that maybe he thought,

212
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: just world leader to world leader, it wouldn't be appropriate

213
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: to talk about taking out another world leader in a

214
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: press conference, given the fact that he has been the

215
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: victim of such targets as well. So here's me thinking

216
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: about it on a completely different level.

217
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: That's just that's just me.

218
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: You were giving the president credit for civility, I want statesmanship.

219
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 4: Because I really thought his language would be stronger.

220
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: You actually have his exact quote when initially asked about Hamanai.

221
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: He said, I was disappointed because we think it's just

222
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: going to lead to more of the same problem. So

223
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: when you hear a statement like that, disappointed because it's

224
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: going to lead to more of the same problem. Why

225
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: would you be putting forth all this energy and all

226
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: this effort trying to change the direction of Iran from

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: being war driven and nuclear bomb forward, Like, why would

228
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: you That would be a necessary part of the endgame,

229
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: a necessary part of getting out of the war that

230
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: you started because you were trying to stop the direction

231
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: of the country, and now you have somebody who's literally

232
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: going to take the country.

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: In the same direction.

234
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: Think they're starting that drumbeat a little bit.

235
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: We heard that messaging from the President a little bit,

236
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: talking about I want to make sure that they aren't

237
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: able to start this up for a long, long time,

238
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: setting a different type of goal that's not regime change.

239
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: He can come out and say we have wiped them

240
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: out to the point it will be forty years according

241
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: to the experts before they ever and you can claim victory.

242
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: I guess, but you also know you've now if Haminae

243
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: would stay in power. We talked about this actually in

244
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: an earlier podcast. We not only killed his father, but

245
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: his mother, his wife, a child of his Like, this

246
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: is somebody who is going to make death to America

247
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: his personal mission more than it already may have been.

248
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how.

249
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Look he's a guy, no matter what, he's a human being,

250
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: and there's just some way you react court things like that.

251
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: Look we're just said no way of ever necessarily knowing.

252
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: But man, you make a good point about the family.

253
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: But something else that came up in the press conference

254
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: today with the President was who has been so complementary

255
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: of the work that they the US military is doing.

256
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: All Right, we continue here on Amy and TJ. We'll

257
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: wrap up here in just a moment. Just I wanted

258
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: to hop on. The President just wrapped up really within

259
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of us being on the microphones here, just

260
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: wrapping up his first time rose taking questions. We've seen

261
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: him in some live comments, we have seen him in

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: some taped comments, but this was important to get him

263
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: in front of reporters.

264
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: Yes, and so he took I mean he didn't take

265
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: that many questions, but I would say he took maybe

266
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: less than ten questions.

267
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: But we did get some answers.

268
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: On a lot of headline making news today, from who

269
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: is responsible will the United States if it's proven that

270
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: the US missile actually is the missile that hit that

271
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 2: girl's school in Iran, killing upwards of one hundred and

272
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: fifty young girls, would we take responsibility?

273
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: And we did.

274
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Hear the President say that if the investigation shows something,

275
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: he'll live with it, but he still kept pointing the

276
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: finger back at potentially other countries in Iran. But he

277
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: did address some of the pressing headlines. What was interesting

278
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: he was asked about his conversation with Vladimir Putin, and

279
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: again some of what the President had to say today

280
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: in the press conference, I was not expecting this was

281
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: among them.

282
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: This was a bizarre. This was so bizarre, wasn't it?

283
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: Even if I assume it's true, he shouldn't have told us.

284
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: It's strange.

285
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: It was like he was bragging what his friend said

286
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: about how great he was exuver he's talking about Vladimir Putin.

287
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: It's a way of him saying, I just got a

288
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: stamp of approval from a guy who knows war, who

289
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: knows how to invade countries. Right, Yeah, it was just hard.

290
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: Here was the quote from the president quote. Putin was

291
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: very pressed with what he saw.

292
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: In fact, he was taking notes as he continues his

293
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: war with Ukraine.

294
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: No, it was it was.

295
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Strange, okay, And Robes added that last part, by the

296
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: way I did that.

297
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: He did not say that. That was just me being yes.

298
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: It was just it was just the odd What did.

299
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: You make of the Cuba conversation too? That also was

300
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: a little interesting. And was expecting that.

301
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: Stand by, we're about to take over Cuba is what

302
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: I got out of it.

303
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: I actually thought that might be the case too, because

304
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: did he not talk about a friendly takeover?

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it could be a friendly one, maybe not.

306
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: He said takeover, Yes he did.

307
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: That is the word that stopped me in my tracks,

308
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: and we rewound his We would back.

309
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: Up a couple of times.

310
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: That was one of them, because did he just say

311
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: that we're either going to have a friendly or a

312
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: not so friendly takeover of Cuba?

313
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: And then yes, talked about Marco Rubio. He really likes

314
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: the guy.

315
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: You know what, I like Marco Rubio.

316
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: He's a hustler, he's I think he's at this point

317
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,120
