WEBVTT - Trump's Secret Escape and a Final Ultimatum to Iran 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.199 What we're learning this morning about this security threat against 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:08.280 President Donald Trump is absolutely extraordinary because, according to new 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:13.840 reporting from the Washington Post investigation, the threat from Iran 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.440 became so serious that the United States carried out an 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.640 elaborate deception to secretly get the President out of Turkey. 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.840 And this may sound like something out of a spy movie, 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.200 the Washington Post is now reporting that this happened on 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.440 July eighth, after President Trump attended the NATO summit. Now, 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.960 according to the report, there was a credible Iranian assassination 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.640 threat against the president, and American security officials apparently decided 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.520 they were not going to take any chances, so they 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.519 created a decoy. Insert the spy movie right now. President 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.560 Trump was seen publicly boarding the older Boeing seven forty 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.040 seven used as Air Force one. Cameron saw him get 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.200 on the plane. Reporters believed he was on that plane. 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.360 Even some White House staff apparently believed the President was 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.920 on that aircraft. But according to the Washington Posts, that 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.720 wasn't what actually happened. Trump was secretly moved from the 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:19.000 seven forty seven Air Force one and transport across the 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.800 airport in something nobody would expect. The President of the 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.400 United States would be riding in an airport catering truck, 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.880 that kind of vehicle normally used to load food and 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.600 supplies onto an airplane. If you fly often, you see 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.240 that truck pulled up right when you're walking on the plane, 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.000 bringing on well drinks and beverages and food and taking 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.800 away old beverages and trash and whatever else. That is 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.440 how they moved the president. Now, that catering vehicle reportedly 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.720 transported the president to a completely different aircraft that was 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.520 an Air Force C thirty two A, the smaller military 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:03.080 jet commonly associated it with senior government travel. Then were 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.720 told that Trump secretly departed Turkey aboard that aircraft while 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.400 the seven forty seven effectively served as a decoy. Now, 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.240 I want you to think about the level of planning 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.720 involved here. You have television cameras watching one airplane, You 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.880 have journalists aboard that airplane. You have the White House 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.480 personnel aboard that airplane as well, and meanwhile, the President 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.680 of the United States is being quietly transport across the 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.680 airport on the tarmac in a catering truck to board 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:39.360 another military aircraft. Because officials are so concerned about the 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.680 potential Iranian threat against his life. Now, the Washington Post 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.359 reporting also sets that Trump's actual aircraft flew to RAF 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:53.440 Mildenhall in Britain. Reuters, citing the Post reporting, says the 0:02:53.480 --> 0:03:00.720 extraordinary security operation was considered a credible Iranian assassination threat. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.400 And here's what makes a story even more remarkable. At 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.960 the time, the public explanation was completely different. Trump had 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.680 said he was using the older Air Force one, essentially 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.880 quote for old time's sake. When reporters asked whether the 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.320 Iranian threats were behind the unusual travel arrangements, Trump dismissed 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.560 that idea, and he explained that the plane change and 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.760 he just said he pointed out that the threats against 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.959 him were nothing new. He said Iran had him at 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.400 the top of its list. Here's how CNN also reported 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.080 the breaking news story to their audience. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.520 From Anderson Cooper. 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:40.800 Good evening from the newsroom. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.560 We begin with a remarkable new twist to a story 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.440 already full of them new reporting the Washington Post about 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.480 the president's return from the Neto summit in Turkey, which 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.640 already included a change of planes with the President, or 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.920 so we thought, taking his old Blue seven forty seven 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.800 for the first leg of the trip, instead of this 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.120 new Katari gift read seven forty seven, which he boarded 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.440 for the second leg from England back to the US. Now, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.440 we were told at the time it was to give 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.920 troops in England a better look at the new plane 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.120 which had left Turkey earlier. That wasn't true, and everybody 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.440 knew it wasn't true at the time. The switch was 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.640 for security reasons, And now the Post is reporting that 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.600 the threat was so severe there was a second switch 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.240 onto a third plane. The President was not on this 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.240 plane at all. Instead, according to the Post, even as 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.920 members of the press were boarding from the rear door, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.039 the President, who we just showed you climbing the front steps, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.400 was leaving the plane leaving on one of these quoting 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.360 now from the Post, he was secretly shuttled minutes later 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.520 to a smaller plane, an Air Force C thir two, 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.719 to a via an airport catering truck typically used to 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.719 load meals and other supplies pre flight, According to US 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.599 official and cooperating material reviewed by the Post, the Post 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.800 asked the White House for comment. The White House instead 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.680 provided a statement about the new seventy seven saying, quote, 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.480 the new Air Force one is a state of the 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.040 art aircraft that has been fitted with high level security 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.080 protocols and ensured the safety of the President his staff. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.640 As the President had said recently, there are many enemies 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.240 of America who have their sights on him, and we 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.560 use every tool at our disposal to address those threat. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.840 This is the part that I absolutely love. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.600 We have a president of the United States of America, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.400 the dozen cancel the trip and the security around him. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.400 They do it amazingly well to protect the president of 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.200 the United States of America. Now you notice how Anderson 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.440 Cooper there says we all knew that this was absurd 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.919 a month ago. Well then why didn't you say something 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.000 about it. Of course they're angry that they got duped 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.080 by the security team of the president, that they were 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.559 on the plane and the President wasn't actually there. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.600 Now a month later, we're all learning. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.800 How sophisticated the security operation actually was. And regardless by 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.960 the way of your politics, and I would say this 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:03.120 specifically to Anderson Cooper, Americans should understand the significance of this. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.520 Iran has repeatedly been accused by American officials of plotting 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.080 to assassinate US officials. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.719 Including our president. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.520 Now we're talking about security concerns serious enough that the 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.640 commander in chief's movements were disguised. Air Force one was 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.159 reportedly used as a decoy, and the President was moved 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.680 through an airport in a catering vehicle. That's not routine 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.960 presidential security. That's an extraordinary precaution designed around one objective 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.920 to make sure anyone potentially watching does not know where 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.800 the president actually is. And God bless our men and 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.240 women who protect our president. And there's also another important 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.040 issue here as well. Some people are going to look 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.359 at this story and ask why the White House didn't 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.200 tell the truth publicly at the time. You can hear 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.560 the disdain in the voice of Anderson Cooper there. Well, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.360 you should know where the media well. The president's security 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.040 is one of those situations where secrecy and deception can 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.839 be a part of the protection itself, and I'm glad 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.160 they did it. You don't announce the president's real location 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.280 while you're trying to conceal it from a potential adversary 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.280 who has publicly said they want to kill the president 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.920 and are planning to do it if they can. You 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.520 don't tell the world, which airplane is actually a board 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.600 and you certainly don't explain your security protocol in real time. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.720 Even to the elitist media. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:29.480 Now. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.880 The Washington Post reporting also suggests that the deception went 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.840 remarkably well, right down to people traveling with the president 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.119 and not necessarily knowing what was even happening for those 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.640 around the president in his own entourage. Again, I love this, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.440 and that's what also tells you something else. This is 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.000 how big of a threat Iran is to the US 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.240 and to the president the United States of America. There 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.000 are real threats and environments around this president that no 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.880 other president has ever had to deal with. So we've 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.320 become accustomed to hearing about threats against Donald Trump more 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.119 than any other president in my lifetime. And the sad 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.320 part is the way the media has dealt with all 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.720 of these assassination attempts of the president is they want 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.840 you to just become numb to the language so that 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.920 it's just background noise. This should not be background noise. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.920 The president, well, he did the right thing by making 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.360 sure that he was safe, those around him did the 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.280 right thing and having him transport through foreign airports and 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.840 catering trucks. That's truly genius. Air Force one doesn't become 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.480 a decoy for no reason, and the President of the 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.680 United States doesn't secretly leave a NATO summit aboard another 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:45.160 military aircraft unless the people responsible for protecting President Trump 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:50.559 believe there's a real reason to take these truly extraordinary precautions, 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.840 which goes back to the issue with Iran. Why on 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.840 earth would anyone think that Iran could be trusted with 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.000 a nuclear weapon? And that's what makes us wash up 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:04.200 post report for me so stunning. The headline isn't simply 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.960 the Donald Trump changed airplanes. The headline is that American 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.240 security officials believe the Iranian threat was so serious it 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.640 was serious enough to create an elaborate presidential disappearing act, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.480 hiding the commander in chief's actual movements from virtually everyone watching. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.600 And the best part about is this it worked. Quick 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:30.280 break Ben Ferguson show much more coming up. President Donald 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.360 Trump on Monday said that negotiations with Iran, while they're 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:39.840 already underway, and calling the current talks Tehran's last chance 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.040 his exact words before what he warned would be a 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:47.719 military campaign larger than any attack since World War two, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:53.120 while insisting he would rather pursue diplomacy than authorize such 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.400 a military operation. The President was speaking in the Oval Office, 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.920 and Trump said that he had delayed the plan strikes 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.079 after Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia and the United Air 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.960 of Immirates and Qatar, as well as other regional countries, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.720 called and urged the President to give diplomacy yet again 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.400 another chance, the President saying this from the Oval Office. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.360 Thank you very much, mister President. This is at least 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:22.440 a fifth time. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.000 You've turned off air strikes against your lin since evil too. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.160 What is your mississ American people who are wondering love 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.240 has changed this time? 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.679 Why should be any Well, you don't know. I don't know. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.559 I think we're gonna maybe get something, but I want 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:40.040 to give them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.280 to do with what we have planned still planned. We'll 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.319 see what happens, but it's a very, very tough thing 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:47.679 to do. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.640 I think I'm. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.440 Very proud of the fact that I will give people. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.240 And give people a chance. This is a big move. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.320 To do an attack that big in a country I'd 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:02.000 rather not do. And now we've already through lots of 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:08.560 large attacks, but they were normal large. Hopefully they'll come 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.800 to their senses because what happened. Cannot have a nuclear weapon, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.640 but hopefully they'll come to their sensors. So they called 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.240 me and they said, please don't attack. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.880 We'll make a deal. That's the real truth. And everyone 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:24.240 knows it. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:29.160 And who wouldn't call And they found out through leaks 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.760 and sleeves bags, you know, a lot of sleeves bags, leakers. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.120 Leakers should be put in jail. They should. They have 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.200 to strengthen up the laws for leakers. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.240 But in this case, leakers helped because they said the. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.760 Severity of the attack and. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.160 Ran knew it. They knew what was coming. It was 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.560 going to come last night, and it would have gone 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.560 on for a long time and they'd be essentially very 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.679 little left. There'd be nothing left. And if I am 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.640 given a chance to let a lot of people live, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.040 I want to give that chance. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.520 Now, the President was pressed after that on why he 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.520 was again delaying threatening strikes after repeatedly holding off on 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.760 military action in recent weeks and now months. As you heard, 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.520 the President said, look, I want to give them every 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:25.680 last chance before decapitation. Now, Trump said he is still 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.079 on hold for major military operations, and he said he's 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:35.120 absolutely prepared if diplomacy yet again fails, he said, quote 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.360 very tough to do what we have planned still planned. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.720 We'll see what happens. Referring to what's next from Iran, 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.520 he also wanted to say, if I'm given a chance 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.160 to let a lot of people live, I want to 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.800 give them that chance. This is the opposite of what 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.560 the media and with the opposite of the left said. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.880 They said the President was trying to start World War three, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.440 he was willing to kill anybody. Obviously that's not true, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.080 the president describing as a big move to do an 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.280 attack that big on a country, I'd rather not do it. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.400 Yet again, the president showing peace through strength now. President 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:16.239 Trump also disputed Iran's claims that no US RAN negotiations 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.160 are taking place, saying discussions are already underway, despite Tehran's 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.080 public denials, saying the talks are going on right now. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.440 We are talking right now at the request of Iran, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.079 back by Saudi Arabia, back by the UAE, and back 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:33.559 by Katar. The President was also asked about this last chance, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.439 and the President described it this way. It's the last 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.199 chance for these people. The Iranians to sign a good document. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.400 I like saying that they're talking, so I say we're 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.679 in talks, big deal, We're in talk, and they'll sometimes 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:51.160 deny it, even though they spend hours and hours together talking. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.360 Now the talks are going along, we're going to hit 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.600 them very hard. Yesterday, very very hard, harder than any 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.160 attack I think I can say general from a point 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.319 of knowledge, any attack since World War Two. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.199 That's pretty big. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.360 And we were set to go, and they called, and 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.240 in addition, Saudi Arabia call, and. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:19.280 UA called, guitar call. I call some numerous people. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.520 I don't use the word begging, but some work in 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.600 particular A Rent did not want to be hit. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.120 And they said, we want to talk. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.240 We want to talk about the Strait, but more importantly, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.960 from my standpoint, we want to talk about the denuclearization 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.120 of a Rent, because it's what it's all about. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.760 This is why I'm doing this, and it should have 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:42.120 been done. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.440 So now fifty years we keep saying forty seven years, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.240 but three years have gone by, But it's for fifty 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.040 years that other presidents should have been doing what I 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.240 or other countries didn't have to be us, but other 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.400 countries and nobody did it, and it was time, and 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.680 we hit them hard with the B two's more than 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.440 a year ago now, and that knocked out their capability 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.280 for their potential capability. And we've done a great job. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.960 But when we talk, we say we're talking. If we're 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.960 not talking, when you asked me, no we're not talking, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.800 I'll say it. But we are talking right now. We're talking, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.720 and we're talking at the request of Iran, back by 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:25.960 Saudi Arabia, back by UEE, and back by Qatar in particular. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.160 But others also, many, many countries. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.840 Called many of the leaders of many up friendly with 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.760 a lot of them, almost all of them one way 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.040 or the other, and they all wanted to give this 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.720 a last chance. This is the last chance. This is 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.520 not something that it doesn't happen. This is the last 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.120 chance for them to sign a good document. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.000 Now, the President added, the talks are going to go 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.920 quickly one way or the other. The President outlined at 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.800 two stage framework for the negotiation, saying the immediate priorities 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.600 is reopening the straight offor moves before broader talks on 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.920 Iran's nuclear program. The President, saying it this way, would 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.239 ran be willing. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.960 To return to fully freeing avigation. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.640 Of has to me, I'm not gonna let him charge, 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.120 and everybody's gonna charge, will charge. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.720 Were the one that has total we have total control. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.240 You know, we have a thing called a blockade with 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.840 his navy, and that navy is they call it a 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.520 wall of steel, the United States Wall of Steel. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.440 The President saying, we're talking about the opening of the strait, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.600 having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open. That's phase one, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:38.480 and then phase two is we will talk about the nuclear, 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:43.360 the nuclearization of Iran, and President Trump also rejected any 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.280 suggestion that Iran would be permitted to impose those tariff 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.240 fees on commercial shipping through the Strategic Waterway as well. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.040 He said, I'm not letting them charge. As you just 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.160 heard now. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.520 Earlier in the day, Trump sharply criticized Iran's leadership after 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.000 the range and officials publicly yet again lied and denied 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.520 the direct negotiations with Washington were taking place. The President said, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:13.840 on true social Iranan leadership is unbelievably duplicatous. They asked 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.440 for a meeting, some would say beg talks begin with 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.880 more schedule than the immediate future. And they say openly 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.159 and proudly they're not having any discussion, that nothing is 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.880 being talked about, and they're only dealing with Oman. Trombargaie 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.960 that Iran was not only misrepresenting the negotiations but also 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.800 overstating its control over the Strait of Hormus quote. They 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.400 then go on to give their usual blather and saying 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.240 the Strait of Hermves will be operated powerfully by them, 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.480 when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.639 He continued, writing nothing gets through to Iran unless we 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.920 want it to, and nothing will get through unless the 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.320 deal or total surrender is accomplished. Whether I Ran once 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.680 to admit it or not, we are in fact talking 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.159 of a solution to a problem that they have caused 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.600 for decades. It's very simple. Iran will never have a 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.880 nuclear weapon now. Of course, Iran continues publicly to reject 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:17.960 Trump's characterizations of the diplomacy. The Iranian Foreign minister spokesman 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.560 said Monday that Terran is not engaged in direct negotiations 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.399 with the United States and that its current discussions are 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.480 with Oman over arrangements for shipping through the quote unquote 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.600 straight of Hormuz. We are not negotiating with the United 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.359 States at this time, he said during his weekly press briefing, 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.040 adding that issues involving Washington should be examined in the 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.240 next stages. They went on to also say that the 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.119 talks with them on are focused on establishing a mutually 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.760 acceptable shipping corridor through the Strategic Waterway rather than restoring 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:53.359 navigation to its pre war status, while maintaining that Iran 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.399 would continue defending what it describes as its sovereign rights 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.040 in the Strait A. President Trump's remark also came after 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.000 announced over the weekend that he canceled plan strikes on Iran, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.720 after saying regional allies and you heard him talk about this, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:14.359 we're begging for diplomacy to have one more chance now. 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.159 Speaking of Board Air Force one, Trump also said the 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.040 proposed operations, these military operations would have been quote the 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.320 biggest since World War Two, before he agreed to delay 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.120 it after the Allies urged him yet again to sit 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:32.040 down and President Trump yet again reiterating another point, saying 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.920 he is under no time constraints to conclude the negotiations. 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.320 He emphasized Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.399 and he said this is why I'm doing this. Iran 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:48.320 cannot have any nuclear weapons. So there's your update. This 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.080 is where we are. Things are changing quickly. Many may 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.880 hear this and say, weren't we just here weeks ago? 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.840 Absolutely we were. But the threat of major military action 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.960 is at its highest point so far, and now I 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.800 have to wait and watch and see what happens moving forward. 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.680 If you thought that the Democratic Party was trying to 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.840 tone down their socialist, communist rhetoric before the midterms, well 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.200 you'd be wrong. Corey Bush has now come out and 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.120 is calling for other Democrats to join her as she's 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:26.359 now saying she wants trans rights and abortion rights quote 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.159 enshrined in the. 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.040 United States Constitution. 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.000 Now, this is former Representative Corey Bush, a Democrat from Missouri, 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.320 and she said that if voters return her to Congress, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.200 she won't guarantee that she will fight to enshrine these 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.440 rights in the United States Constitution through the Equal Rights Amendment. 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.359 This is her now, I guess profile of what she 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:49.840 wants to do now. 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.080 Corey laid out the plan during an appearance on a 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.480 show on Sirius XM radio. The show called Urban View 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.080 or something like that, where she says she wants to 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.040 fight for the Equal Rights Amendment and make it the 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:07.439 twenty eighth amendment. The interview was posted on YouTube days 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.000 before Missouri's democratic primary, and Bush said that the amendment 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.359 would be the priority if she wins back her old seat. 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.440 Here is more of what she said. 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.160 I want to go back and fight for the Equal 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:19.840 Rights Amendment. 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:22.840 I was the lead sponsor along with my sister Ayana 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.760 Presley in the Congress first time in history. 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.080 It was one hundred We hit the one hundred year 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.320 mark of the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment and 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:36.119 two black women were sponsoring that bill. Saint Louis was 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.080 leading on the Equal Rights Amendment. I want to go 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.359 back and take and work on that and get that 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.720 make sure that the Equal Rights Amendment becomes the twenty 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:45.800 eighth Amendment, because. 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:52.159 When we look at what the protections with that discrimination 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:58.520 in the workplace based based upon sex, in education, in housing, 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:03.200 and then also trans rights, abortion rights, so much is 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.520 up under that Equal Rights Amendment, so have enshrining gender 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.160 equality is important. 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.480 So there it is a Democrat who is out of 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.080 office trying to get back into office and Bush framing 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:21.040 the era as the mechanism for locking in a range 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:26.160 of left wing policy priorities, including transgender to abortion policy. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.719 Quote when we look at the protections with that discrimination 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.000 in the workplace based upon sex and education and housing, 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:37.440 and then also trans rights, abortion rights, so much is 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.920 up under the Equal Rights Amendment. So enshrining gender equality 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:46.879 is important. Yes, Democrats are not learning from any of 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.960 their defeats, and they're not learning from any of what 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:53.040 the American voters are saying now. During a twenty twenty 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.520 three House hearing on women's health, it's the same woman 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:01.560 that claimed transgender people need medication to cope with restrictions 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:05.800 on sex change procedures from minors, arguing the drugs were 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.280 quote life saving. This isn't a joke her words, and 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.399 then she compared them to over the counter medications like 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:16.280 tailand all. Yeah, that's the same woman who was in 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:20.080 Congress now. Bush was a member of the far left squad. 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.320 She represented her district from twenty twenty one to twenty 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.960 twenty five, and she launched her comeback bid last October, 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:32.040 blaming the pro Israel group APAK and Republican opponents for 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.000 a defeat by the fellow Democrat Wesley Bell in twenty 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:38.040
