Trump Walks Tightrope as Israel/Iran Strikes and Talks Teeter · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump coming out firing on the economy and the economists,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: they all got it wrong. Not only did the US
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and seventy two thousand jobs in May,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: beating every economists forecast, with unemployment holding steady at four
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: point three percent, April's jobs numbers were then revised upward,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: not down, upward, to one hundred and seventy nine thousand,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: meaning that the two month combined total was ninety three
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: thousand jobs higher than first reported. Now here's the part
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that's really important for you to understand. These are not
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: government jobs. These are private sector jobs. And the President
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of United States of America also understands why these jobs
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: are being created. All right, I want to talk to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you for a second about a bill that you have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: every month. It is your cell phone bill. Well, why
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: not switch it to an incredible company that actually takes
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a part of your bill every single month and they
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: give it back to conservative causes, candidates, and organizations that
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: are fighting for what we believe in. You may not
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: realize that Big Mobile gives massive donations to hardcore liberal
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: causes and organizations, and even organizations that advocate and support abortions.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want my money going there, and that is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: why I switched to Patriot Mobile. Now, so many brands
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: today they claim to stand for American values, but most
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of the time it's all talk and it's no action.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And that's what makes Patriot Mobile so different. For more
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: than twelve years, Patriot Mobile has been living their values
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and standing in the gap for every American who believes
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: freedom is worth fighting for. Their business was founded on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a simple conviction if culture is being shaped through commerce,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: then you, as Americans, deserve a real conservative alternative. Now,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is proudly America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They offer premium priority nationwide service on any of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: three major US networks. They have unlimited data plans, international roaming,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and one hundred percent US based customer support. And with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, you can even have two separate networks on
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: one phone, giving you unmatched coverage and peace of mind
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that you can't get with the other carriers. Go to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com, slash ferguson or call nine seven
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to two Patriot use the promo code ferguson for a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: free month of service. I use Patriot Mobile and you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: can too. Patriot Mobile dot Com slash Ferguson or nine
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to seven to two Patriot Switch. Today, the President talking
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about farmers in America at a roundtable set America's economy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We brought in eighteen trillion coming into the US in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: eleven months. The previous administration in four years had much
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: less and one trillion come in. Again prioritizing now government jobs,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the private sector having the build to hire how they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: need to.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: We added seven thousand new manufacturing jobs and seventeen thousand
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: new construction jobs, and we're building more plans.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And at any time in the history.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Of our country, we have eighteen trillion dollars coming into
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the United States. As an example, the previous administration in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: four years, think of this, had less much less than
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one trillion come in.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: We have eighteen trillion.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Dollars from countries and people all over the world in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: eleven months, not even the one year.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: So that's some difference.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You listen to present there and it's very clear he's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: giving your mid term strategy for you. He's backing candidates
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and advocating for candidates that are putting America first. That's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: obviously very important, American workers first, and the economic well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: massive gains and jobs is coming because of the President's strategy.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That's what really matters here. Not only do you look
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: at the two months and the combined of ninety three
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: thousand jobs higher than first reported, but paycheck data is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: also now confirming a trend. We have had three consecutive
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: months of accelerating small business hiring. This also happening while
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: USA Rare Earth announced a one point two billion dollar
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: investment in a new magnet factory in South Carolina, bringing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: critical supply chains home to American soil. The President excited
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: about that as he also talked about how America, well
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we need to leave on AI that can be job
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: creation and also deals with national security. And the administration
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is also protecting American jobs, putting American citizens before legal immigrants,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: cracking down hard on illegal immigration, and making sure that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Americans are put first not last. This all happening while
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the President United States of America is touting even more savings,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lowering prescription drug costs for American patients with a direct
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: push to cut prices and increase transparency. The President also
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: signing a new directive strengthening accountability across the federal workforce,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: ensuring that people paid by taxpayers. Well, they're actually working
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: for the tax payers. Now, this is all happening because
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the President understands something you need to have national security
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be at the front of your priorities. That includes AI.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You also have a president understands that you need to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have increase accountability. So we're not having welfare jobs in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: our government and just putting people on a payroll for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a working job in the government for no reason. He
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: understands the private sector is a key to actual stability
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of a great economy and allowing Americans to be able
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to take care of themselves and then their families. Now
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: all of this is coming around the backdrop of America's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fiftieth birthday, the President having a clear
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: message on the anniversary of this country, the two hundred
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary, and that is we must have pride
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in our country. We must protect American workers, we must
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: advocate for small businesses, and we must do whatever we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can to get investment back in the United States of America. Now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you look at major investments announcements just this past week,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: General Dynamic two hundred million, USG one billion, Merrill Brothers
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: sixteen and a half million. You have US rare Earth
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: at one point two billion. These are just some of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the highlights. And this week's new investments total three point
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: four billion dollars. That is incredible, all because the President's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: saying America's open for business. We're getting read of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: ridiculous regulations that are holding Americans back. That is what
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: this is all about. Let me just give you an
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: update of where we are right now when it comes
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to what's happening in the Middle East. And I say
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Middle East because things have gotten really complicated the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Middle East. And I'm not just saying Iran, I'm not
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: just saying the US, I'm not just saying Israel. But
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the Middle East is once again on edge. This all
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: happened after Iran launched new missile attacks against Israel over
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the weekend, marking the most serious escalation in weeks. And
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: then also it's now threatening to derail what President Trump
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: says a potential nuclear agreement that is quote very close
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to being completed. Now what's fascinating is that President Trump
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is trying to walk two tracks simultaneously, and that is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: very hard to do. Let's be clear, the President is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: trying to get a deal done, but also understanding that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you look at what's happening with Iran and you can't
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: trust them. You have to make sure they never get
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. Now, on one, I guess you could
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: say railroad track. What the President's trying to do is
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: keep maximum pressure on Iran. On the other, he's aggressively
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: pushing diplomacy and trying to prevent a wider regional war.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That is important. Now, the President did an interesting conversation
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: with Meet the Press, and it was one of those
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: interviews where, of course the left wanted to become the story.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: To Meet the Press wanted to become the story, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they were able to do that. As a president into
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the interview and said I'm out of here because it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was so absurd. But there was some things that came
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: out of all of this. Here's part of what the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: President had to say on Iran. Take a listen.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Their leaders are gun. Do you know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Where all of Iran's nuclear material is?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Would you unfreeze any Iranian assets or lift any says
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: up front as a part of any so that would
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: come after they the.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Material.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Unlike Obama. Obama flew a Boeing seven fifty seven a plane.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: I know very well, they took the seats out and
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: they loaded it up with one point seven billion dollars
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: in cash from the banks in Maryland and Virginia and DC.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: They've emptied at the banks and they gave them one
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: point seven in green and they gave them tens of
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: billions of dollars, just kept giving them money and it
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: didn't work.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Would any again, But again, mister president, you promised that
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you were going to negotiate a better deal. You do
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: you You've done it in.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Your face now you listened the president there, he's reminding
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: people of the failed policy of Iran that the prior
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: administrations have had. Now the president's also being queer with
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: one of our allies that he needs them to be cautious.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump publicly warned Israel against retaliating against Iran's latest
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: missile attack. According to multiple reports, Trump personally called the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister net in Yahoo and urge restraint, arguing
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the negotiations with Iran are close enough that neither side
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: should do anything that could blow up the talks. Now,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Trump's message appears to be straightforward. Give diplomacy one more chance,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the President is repeatedly said in recent days the United
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: States is quote very close to a deal with Iran,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but he's demanding tougher conditions before signing it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The biggest sticking point also remains Iran's enriched uranium. Trump
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: has made it clear that he will not accept the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: situation where Ran keeps enough highly enriched uranium to eventually
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: build a nuclear weapon. Today, he reiterated that Iran's uranium
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: stockpile must ultimately be destroyed or neutralized without a final agreement,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: meaning we're going to get that no matter what. The
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: President also was asked about one other very interesting issue,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and that was war in general. Overall. The President said
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it was clear that he didn't want to get us
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: into more wars, right, it's something he doesn't like. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: even the President talked about Vietnam and the ridiculous timeline
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that the media has put him under to wrap up
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this war with Iran, and here's what he had to say.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: They would have had a nuclear weapon five years ago.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: But mister President, I'm curious because when you were campaigning,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: you said you would rip up the around nuclear deal
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: but negotiate a better deal. I didn't negotiate a better
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: deal at the time, because after it was ripped their guardrails,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: and they escalated their production of enriched uration.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Use me, it takes years to do these things.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: These people have been fighting for forty seven years.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: They've been killing Americans.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: They've been taking off their legs and their arms, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: their faces have been hurt so badly and so horribly.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: I'm moving very fast. I'm into three months. You know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Vietnam less than nineteen years. I'm into my third month.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And all I do is say, well, what are you
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: going to win? If I were a Democrat, nobody would
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: be talking that way. But it doesn't matter to me.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I have gotten so used to it. Look, we have
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: totally destroyed their military. They have some missiles left, they
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: have some drones left. They know how, yes, exactly how many.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I don't want to tell you. Can you give me
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: to have left? No? But I know almost to the number.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: And we know where they are too, And we know
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: where their drones are, and we know where their drone
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: factories are. Most of the drone factories have been knocked out,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: most of the launching pads have been knocked out, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: But they still have capacity they have some missiles to
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: have some drones. I would say the percentage was maybe
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: twenty one to twenty two percent of their missiles. It's
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: a lot of missiles, but it's not what it was
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: when we first attext.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: So you're saying they have twenty one twenty two percent
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: of their missiles left.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Correct. Yes, let's talk.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: About what specifically you are demanding.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: By the way, isn't it interesting howbsess they are with
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: this timeline, the president going back saying Vietnam last nineteen years,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we've totally destroyed their military. We're talking about three months.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yet again putting it into perspective. Now, I want to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: go back to the Israel part of this conversation for
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a moment. And I also think this is something that's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: really interesting about this president. When he disagrees with net Yahoo,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he picked up the phone and tells net Yahoo what
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he expects.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is reportedly now moving to rein in Israel's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Prime minister following Israel launching a strike at Lebanon after
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: hesblostruck northern Israel. In a post on x a global
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: affairs correspondent for Axios shared that Trump told him he
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: was going to call net Nahu and tell now who
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: not to strike back. Trump's comments come after Ran retaliated
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: with a missile strike on Israel after Israel struck by
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Route in response to an attack from Hesblat. Axios also
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: reported that the Israeli Defense Forces knows the IDF had
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: sirens sounded in northern Israel as four missiles were launched
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: from Iran. Iranian state media report a third wave of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: missiles had been launched, but Israeli officials said all had
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: so far been intercepted. President Trump also told Axios that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: he would not only call the Israeli Prime Minister, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he would urge him not to retaliate for Iran's missile attack.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: An IDF spokesman stated that the IDF was working on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: military plans and will continue striking as blood targets in Beirut.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: According to Israeli officials, Israel had struck by Roots southern
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: suburb after Heswail launched a missile attack on Israel. This
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they said they're not going to back down from One
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: United States official, along with two other sources, also told
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the outlet that Israel had notified the Trump administration before
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the strike on Beirut. Another US official also told the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: outlet that the US supports Israel's right to self defense
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and stands with the legitimate government of Lebanon as it
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: works to deliver a better future for its citizens. Now,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think we can all agree what we're listening to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: right now is a very very tense and also complicated moment.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You have a president of the United States of America
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that's trying to get a deal with Iran, make sure
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: they don't get nuclear weapons, and also make sure that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Israel can defend and protect itself. That is a lot
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: if you think about all of that. I just said,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: President being clear he's working on all of it at
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the same time. Now, President Trump was also asked about
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Obama's deal with Iran, and the President made it clear
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I had no choice but to terminate that deal. Why
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: listen to President and they didn't.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: You have been saying for months, mister President, that Iran
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: is begging to make a deal. True, they are so
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: desperate to make a deal. Why haven't they made a
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: deal with you?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Because they it's a very hard thing for them. They've
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: had great independence, they've dealt with very weak and ineffective
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: leadership on behalf of the United States and other countries.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Frankly, that allowed them to get away with murder.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: And I think they can't believe they're in the situation
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: where they've been virtually decapitated.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: But if they're so desperate, mister President, why haven't they
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: said yes.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: To the They're proud. There are things they never thought
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: they'd be doing that they're going to have to do.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: They've got no choice. And it takes a little while.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: You know, you're talking about forty seven years of getting
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: away with whatever they wanted. I mean, we should this
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: should have been done long ago. This should have been
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: done by other presidents or other countries. Doesn't have to
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: be US, other countries. But they were very close to
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: having a nuclear weapon twice. That was when I terminated
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the Around Nuclear Deal, which was a path that deal,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: the jc POA. That deal was tantamount to giving them
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal, given by
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Barack Obama and really penned by him.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It was a horrible deal.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: It was you know, what expired long ago had I
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: I terminated it, but had I not terminated it, it
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: expired longer. Though it was a short term deal, it
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: was a road to a nuclear weapon. They would have
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: had a nuclear weapon five years ago.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: But mister President, I'm curious because when you were campaigning,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you said you would rip up there on nuclear deal.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: No negotiate a bit.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I love how the media refuses to accept the president
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America and what he's trying
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to accomplish. They want this to be a failure. You
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can hear it there in the voice of the anchor
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I meet the press. She wants this to be a failure.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, by the way, also saying on Iran's new leader,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he believes that militarily.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Are you talking about the son of the Supreme Well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: he has not been seen in public, what its status?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Have you believed him?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I do believe they have great respect for him. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I mean they want to get his concurrence. They've said
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: to me, they've said to others that they're looking for approval,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: and he is part of the approval process.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Have you spoken to him directly? He said, do you
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: want to meet with Oh?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: I would if he'd like to, But I am not
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: spoken to him directly.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Do you know where he is, how he is.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: They do pay homage to him. I would tell you
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: if they didn't.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: They seem to based on what I see, they seem
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: to respect him a great deal.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Do you know where he is? Do you know how
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: he is doing physically?
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say whether or not I know
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: where he is, but there's a good probability.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: That I do. Is he insider on I'd rather not
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: say that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, he is the son of the last Supreme leader
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: who was obviously hardliner. Is this younger Komeny any better
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: for the United States than his father was?
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Younger? I think, more rational?
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Injured, it's pretty badly injured, So there's a certain bravery.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: There, and a lot of people, if they were injured.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: That badly, they wouldn't be talking about, you know, how
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: we're doing with.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: The United States?
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Set up other things on their mind, So there's a
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: certain bravery there. But he is very seriously injured young.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: The status of talks exactly in this moment. How close
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: are you to making a deal? Are we talking about?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: You?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Notice they're obsessed with the deal. Everything's bad, everything's a failure,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: everything's terrible. It's a quagmire. In three weeks or three days,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and now we're at three months, the President United States
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: America making sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: They want you to believe that this is somehow a disaster.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: The President was also asked about what a restart of
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the war could look like. Would that happen. Of course
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they're going to frame this is another disaster, right, keep listening.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Reference to thirteen Americans who were killed. And I want
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: to know what your red line is, what would trigger
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you to restart military action. Would it be Iran killing
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: more American citizens?
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Certainly that would be something that would think about very seriously.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: But my red line would be if I think I
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: wasn't going to make a deal, or if I wasn't
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: going to make a deal fast enough.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: So we're having very good.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Negotiations with the people that are leading the country.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: It's the third group that we've been dealing with, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: they are different, and you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Could say it's regime change.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Actually, because these are very different people, I found it'd
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: be more rational, very smart.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Who is that who's leading?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Well the country names, but you know who they are.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, they are leaders, they're respected, respected by the
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: people that have to respect them.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: They are calling the shots.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: We know that because we see it through various tests
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: that we've given. It's a little bit strange because you
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: have leaders that have been there for a long time
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: and they get wiped out. Then you have leaders that
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: you also know the second tier and they get wiped
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: out all of a sudden.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: We're dealing with different people. But no, I think that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: We'll either have something done fairly quickly or we'll finish
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: it out.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Are you talking about the son of the Supreme Well.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I go back to playing the end of that. There
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: is nothing that the president can say at this point
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that is going to be looked at as good news.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: There is nothing that can happen at this point that
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this administer that this media will say, Wow, the president
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: really did a good job. Even if it deals with
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: national security, even if it deals with dealing with terrorists,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: even if it deals with dealing with cartels, even if
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it deals with FETANL. There is nothing that this president
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: can do that these guys will not criticize and say
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: this is a disaster, that it's a quagmire. And all
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: this goes back to the other basic issue. There's a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: midterm election coming and President Trump is doing everything he
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: can to make sure that not only the enemy is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: doing great gas prices come back down, that we end
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the war with Iran as fast as we can without
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: giving up the red line issues. Right, the red line issues?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: What are those? The red line issues are pretty simple.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You can't have nuclear weapons. You can't have anything that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: gets you close to a nuclear weapon. That shouldn't be controversial, right,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: It just really shouldn't be. Trump was asked about sending
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the troops home. If there's no war, right, why aren't
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you sending them home? Everything's doom and gloom and listen
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: to how the present responds to that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: But if you're not specifically calling it a war, would
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: you consider sending some of the troops who are stationed there,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: who were sent because of operation of security at home? No,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: would you consider sending them home? If it's not technically
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: a war.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: We don't need as many troops. I think it's just
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: like it's on the car on the side of.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: We have.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: A lot of people there. They're very safe. You know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: if you think we beat Venezuela, we lost nobody who
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: took over the whole country. We lost nobody. We have
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: a great relationship by the way, with Venezuela, and Venezuela
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: is doing very well. But we lost nobody. We've lost
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: thirteen people here, and that's a lot. Thirteen people too many.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: But if you look at Vietnam, where hundreds of thousands
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: of people were killed, if you look at any one
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: of the last seven or eight wars where many many
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: people were killed, we lost thirteen.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And again, thirteen is too many.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: I don't want to lose any but thirteen is less
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: than anybody's ever even envisioned.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I think we're doing a great job.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: But so are you saying you would consider sending some
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: of the troops home, sir, some of the fifty thousand
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: troops who were sent there.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Notice the obsession here, but would you do this? Would
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you do this? Would you do that? Nothing here? We
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: could get a deal tomorrow, and they will somehow say
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that the the president conceded something, or it really isn't
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a great deal, or it wasn't what the President promised,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and then they'll move on to the next issue of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: attacking the president on something else. This will be a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: failure in the eyes of the media no matter what happens.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And the reason why I say it now and get
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: ahead of it is because I'm telling you where this
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is going. Be ready for it. This isn't a journalist,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: This is pure democratic propaganda. Also real quick, and this
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: is outside of a ram, but I do want to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: bring it up because I had on my notes of
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: important things to talk to you about. And it's the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: twenty I can't even believe we're almost there. Twenty twenty
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: eight presidential election is coming, and it's coming very quickly.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: There is new pulling that is out and I want
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to give you the headline here. The front runner of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party. And this isn't a surprise by any means.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Most people would expect this to be what we were
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: going to see is jd Vance Right, he's vice president,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: He's close to the president United States of America. That's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: not shocking. Most people think that if he runs, he
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: would get the presidential endorsement, and so then it would
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just be a quasi continuation coronation, right, that's what the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: traditional political wisdom is. Now. I don't think it's going
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: That.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to have a grand debate in
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the Republican field, and I think that's important. I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: we should have that. But let me just also tell
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you how interesting and how crazy things are right now.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: With the Democratic Party. Former Vice President Kama Harris is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: still dominating the polls with her own party. Among the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight candidates, I want to go through this
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: for you. Harris is still at thirty seven percent. Second
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: place is Gavin Newsom seventeen percent. Mayor Pete, but j
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Edge is at eight percent, AOC is rising at seven percent,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Kelly is at five percent, Shapiro three percent, all right,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and Basher is at three percent. Now you look at
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the on the Republican side in this new poll, it's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: interesting you advance at thirty eight, Rubio at eighteen, and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and this goes back to kind of the MAGA mentality.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: You have Don Junior at ten percent. I don't think
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that's real. The Santus nine percent, RFK Junior at nine percent. Now,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: those numbers are numbers that are interesting. I don't think
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: they are like real. And and let me explain what
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I mean by real. I don't think anybody's really looking
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: for Don Junior to run, Okay, I think people say
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that in a poll when they're asked, just to make
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the media mad and Democrats mad. I think it's just trolling.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think Don Junior is actually at ten percent.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think Don Junior, by the way, is going
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to run for president United States of America. And I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: think even if he did run and the president back then,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think it would go the way that some
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: would want it to go. Just to be fully like
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: honest with you, all right, Now, what I do think
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: is very interesting is I actually think that Marco Rubio
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: is probably much higher than this in the poll. But
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would just easily say
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what they say. Now, let's go back to Harris, all right,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: She lost to Trump, said she might run president again
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, and according to the Race to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the White House polling averages, Harris in February held at
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: twenty seven point five percent support among potential Democratic primary voters,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: ahead of Gavenusom, who at the time was at twenty
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: two point seven, and then AOC stood at nine percent,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Then Mayor Pete was at eight point seven percent, and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: then Josh Shapiro the Pennsylvania government's at four point nine,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and then Jad Pritzker was actually at three point four. Now,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: AOC recently claimed her ambition is way bigger than running
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: for president in twenty twenty eight, but they say that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that she is moving towards a run
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the media. She's doing, the way she's talking, the way
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: she's saying things, it's a little different than what you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: normally see with AOC. Now you're also gonna ask yourself
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: this question, why is Gavin Newsom going backwards instead of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: moving and getting bigger numbers. I think a lot of
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: it has to do with affordability. I think a lot
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of it has to do with corruption in California. I
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: waste fraud abuse that we've seen with Medicare and Medicaid
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and hospice in California. And I think a lot of
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: it has to do honestly nationwide with the Ala mayor's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: race that is happening and how it's really exposing the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: massive amount of corruption, all right, And I think that's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a huge part of this, the massive amount of corruption
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that you've got in the Democratic Party right now in
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that state, and no one wants to talk about it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, but it is huge. I mean,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the corruption issue is just astronomical. And when you look
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: at it in LA and the mismanagement in LA and
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the wildfires in LA and then you look at the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: state and you look at it. I think that's actually
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: hurt him nationwide because there's been so much talk about
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: California politics and the governor's race right now that's happening.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Having a Republican and Steve Hilton, who's actually running at
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the top right now, has really hurt Gavin Newsom. Now nationwide,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: people are paying attention to that race, and they're seeing
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the debate and they're seeing what is the only way
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you can describe it is total mismanagement by Gavin Newsom
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that I do believe is hurting him more than anything else.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Now you look at LA and what's happening in LA
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that is not helping him in any way. So I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: think these numbers are very very interesting. To tell you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: one thing, the Democrats, if they're best candidate right now,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: their default candidate who they're going back to is Kamala Harris.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: We're in good shape. Do I think Republicans have really
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: good candidates? Absolutely?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Do.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's a coronation of you know, jd Vance
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: at this point. No, I don't. I think Marco Rubio
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: is someone that clearly a lot of people really, really
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: really really like, so there's multiple people here that are
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the Republican side, and I think Republicans
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: are going to want a grand debate, and I think
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: that's probably what you're going to get based on the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: data that we're seeing right now, I think we're setting
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: ourselves up for exactly that.
