On today's show, we'll talk about 27 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.760 the war with Iran, which claimed more American lives over 28 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.640 the weekend and wounded dozens, which the Pentagon is trying 29 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.760 to hide. We'll also talk about Ice being back in 30 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.840 the headlines after killing people in Texas and Maine. Stalk 31 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.239 about how the administration is responding and what we know 32 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.840 about how Trump's deportation agenda is playing with voters, Latino 33 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400 voters in particular. We also have a bunch of news 34 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.439 from the world of Democratic primary campaigns. Former Maine Senate 35 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.480 President Troy Jackson is all but certain to be the 36 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359 Democratic nominee to take on Susan Collins in Maine. There's 37 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.079 more chaos in the Wisconsin governor's race, and AOC and 38 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.760 Bernie rallied for Abdul l Said in Michigan as his 39 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.479 primary against Haley Stevens heats up. But let's start with 40 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.800 some big news from the weekend. Spain's one tozer win 41 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.039 over Argentina in the World Cup final in the Meadowlands, 42 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.039 capping off an incredible tournament. No one is sadder about 43 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.719 it ending than Donald Trump. Wasn't about to let her 44 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.120 return to full on war with Iran stop him from 45 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.560 inserting himself into the closing ceremony. 46 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.039 President of the United States on the field. 47 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.039 Is now so they can out of the can edit him. 48 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:52.240 Out of that. 49 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.639 Australian broadcaster at the end there, do you guys see 50 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.159 the caption of the picture in the Guardian now where 51 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.520 Infantino is with Trump and it's just the two of them, 52 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.360 and the caption is Giohnny. Infantino carefully explains to Donald 53 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.639 Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team. 54 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.960 It's about right though. 55 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.479 Like the energy of accidentally realizing you're in the money 56 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.960 shot of a beach wedding, you know, like that, that 57 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:25.719 is what it reminded me of, Like they're about to 58 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.120 do it. Get the fuck out of the way. 59 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.439 Did you see the team that the players were doing 60 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.599 the Trump dance and therefore really appreciating his involvement because 61 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.479 Trump did this to one of them and looking confused, 62 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.039 he just was like, say, I'm gonna. 63 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.719 Milk a cow back to you. Like my guess is 64 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.560 they're just happy because they won the World Cup and 65 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.639 this is the best day of their life. That would 66 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:44.800 be my guess as to why they're happy. 67 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.080 Like for sure, but if a monkey did a gesture 68 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.400 to me at the zoo, I'd do it back. It 69 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.120 wouldn't be a show of support for his politics. 70 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:51.680 I might not throw my poo back at him. 71 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.840 But right it's like, yeah, it's like it's cool to 72 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.120 go to the game. I'd go if I could go. 73 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.280 It's cool to present the trophy, but like, get out 74 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.759 of the way, dude. And you also did this at 75 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.639 the FIFA World Cup final in like twenty twenty five, 76 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.719 and like you can see Infantino trying to get him 77 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:05.840 to leave the stage and he. 78 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:06.840 Just won't do it. 79 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.560 He just basks in the glory of the cheering, like 80 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.840 he genuinely believes it's for him. I would feel like 81 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.120 imposter syndrome and run off there. 82 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.399 I think he also believes he's wanted there. Like like 83 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.040 I'm Donald Trump. Everybody loves when I'm part of their stuff. 84 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.639 I'd feel imposter syndrome. If I was the president of 85 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.920 United States and the US one right, pould still say 86 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.120 something and be like extra proud, but I wouldn't get 87 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.079 in the fucking picture. 88 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.560 And especially with Spain, like the NATO sum had a 89 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.639 couple of weeks ago, he said, quote, I don't want 90 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.480 anything to do with Spain. They're hopeless bad people. He's 91 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.399 gonna call them bad people because they like didn't support 92 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:43.839 the war with Iran and didn't want us to use 93 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:44.480 their basis. 94 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.399 Did you see the USA today did a piece on 95 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.399 the Trump curse and they calling it the Trump curse. 96 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:48.920 Awesome. 97 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.120 So I didn't know of all about all of these, 98 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.000 but so Trump said before the World Cup final, he 99 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.959 didn't pick a side, but he said it's hard to 100 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.160 bet against Messiah. Argentina lose. Trump intervenes to get the 101 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.360 red card reversed. US loses to Belgium. Trump shows up 102 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.120 at the NBA Finals. It's the only game the Knicks lose. 103 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.360 Twenty twenty five, Trump goes to the Washington Commander's Game. 104 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.480 They lose to the Lions forty four to twenty two. 105 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.759 That same year, he goes to the Ryder Cup, the 106 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.959 US loses. They're calling it the Trump curse. 107 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.000 It's so funny. The other thing about that Commander's game 108 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.319 is so he goes to the Commander's game, the Commanders 109 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.959 get stomped by the Lions, and then at that same game, 110 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.040 Alliance receiver name I'm and Ross Saint Brown did the 111 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.120 Trump dance, and then the Lions lose five of eight 112 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.560 games and missed the playoffs. It's even better. 113 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.720 Yeah, I think it's like basically there's there's three possibilities. Okay, 114 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.639 One is that it's luck. The other is that he 115 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.800 brings a terrible energy everywhere he goes, right that he 116 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.839 and that his that's documented, right for sure, I think, 117 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.480 and that like corrupts anyone who's seen to be rooting 118 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.839 for You can't help with someone playing knowing that Trump 119 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.399 is on your side, allowed to infect you with the 120 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.120 kind of negativity and failure that surrounds him. Do you 121 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.600 think it's worth considering the third possibility, which is much 122 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.399 like Odysseus discovering the Cyclops on his way home due 123 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.439 to his failure to observe like morality and the conflict 124 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.399 in Troy, Trump is being punished everywhere he goes. 125 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:19.879 We all catching stray. 126 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.639 Isn't that well that that's take it up with zeus, 127 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.920 my friend men hard. 128 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.720 We are the ones being sacrificed. 129 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.199 I'm not saying it's a the punishment is it's not clean. 130 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:32.720 You know. 131 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.480 Gonna tell you my favorite Trump sports story from over 132 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.480 the weekend is there's a golfer named Bryce and d Chambeau. 133 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.959 Did you guys go across this get a melt down? 134 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.000 At the Open Championship. You got a penalty for like 135 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.040 just stepping in tall grass that would have gotten the 136 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.680 way of his swing, and he got a two stroke penalty. 137 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.040 So it throws a hissy He deserved, He totally deserved. 138 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.839 He deserves. He throws a hissy fit, and he sucks 139 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.399 he's annoying anyway. He throws his hissy fit. He threatens 140 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.160 to not play the next day, basically quit the tournament 141 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:57.639 and take his ball and go home. He takes all 142 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.720 these rules officials, makes them visit the site, and then 143 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.800 he goes back. In the midst of it. He threatens 144 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.360 to call Trump and tattle on the mean rules officials 145 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:06.439 if they don't give him as way. 146 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.360 He also shut down the whole tournament too, right, they 147 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.319 all had to wait with the words, and they all 148 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.319 had to wait for him to be done with his 149 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.839 his uh uh fit, and even the other players who 150 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:15.399 are watching. 151 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.279 Were like that, come on, man, yeah, I mean this 152 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.759 is what Trump has created. You know. It's like everyone 153 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.439 knows if they're friends with Trump or they suck up 154 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.800 to Trump, they can just tattle and get what they want, 155 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:25.759 or at least try to do that. 156 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.800 Everybody's calling the manager, right, I want a table over. 157 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.240 You know, I know Trump, but sir, you don't have 158 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.959 a reservation. I know the owner. 159 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.319 Of the German broadcast of the World Cup final. So 160 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.920 they cut to Infantino and Trump in the box. They 161 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.800 show them getting presented the trophy, and the announcers go, well, 162 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.879 that's a violation of all the rules. Those two were 163 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.959 made for each other, fascinated by power and by themselves too. 164 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:51.399 Good stuff. 165 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.199 HiT's good stuff, tough, tough to hear from Germans. 166 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.680 The cool like the cool part of the story, right. 167 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.519 That sort of suggests the Spanish team would not like 168 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.319 Trump's politics. As one of the players, a guy named 169 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.920 Nico Williams, his mom and dad walked two thousand miles 170 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.480 from Ghana to Spain, she was pregnant with his older 171 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.800 brother at the time. Like across the Sahara Desert, Barefoot 172 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:14.959 managed to get into this tiny bit of Spanish territory 173 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.560 to become citizens, and then he's playing on the national team. 174 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.160 That's probably why he wouldn't like Trump's immigration. 175 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.160 Yeah, wouldn't like his politics. He wouldn't be possible with 176 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.839 Trump's politics. So unfortunately, Trump trying to make the World 177 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.240 Cup about Trump did steal the spotlight from the tournament's 178 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.120 real hero. Let's play it. 179 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.039 We put on the largest sporting event in the history 180 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.279 of the world, and everybody in winning pief in the 181 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.919 White House looks at the the FBI, to our inner 182 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.080 agency partners, the DHS, the state locals, to everybody to 183 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:43.799 figure out how to get six and a half million 184 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.200 people into the US and thenso these games without a 185 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.879 single major security incident. We have lived up to that 186 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.399 measure because you guys are put in the time. It's truly, 187 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.799 truly incredible. 188 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.240 We just can't say enough about the preparation and the 189 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:02.080 execution has been flawless. He's in every shot. I thought 190 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.519 of this was gonna like, you know, thinking like all 191 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.799 the law enforcement officials who pulled this off. It's like, whatever, 192 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.440 It's fine. Every single shot of that video is Cash Betel. 193 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.399 Imagine if we had a crook at All hands to 194 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.159 celebrate a year of making great content, and through it, 195 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.440 we played a montage of just our headshots known. 196 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:21.960 To be surprised. 197 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.120 Yeah, and when I. 198 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:33.480 Gotta laugh leaning with the chip, I gotta say what 199 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.679 my So, I didn't watch that video before so we 200 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.440 could see it live. My reaction to that video is, 201 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.399 who is this for? You know what I mean? Like, 202 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.840 who's getting jacked up to watch? Cash Btel? Is it 203 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.799 for Donald Trump? Because he wants he wearing a suit, 204 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.240 not like the weird thin hoodie T shirt thing. 205 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.960 I think it's it's probably for Trump. It's also he's 206 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.519 just in super defensive mode now, Cash Betel, because he 207 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.440 thinks everyone's not fair, right. But it's like, you know, 208 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.600 you think I'm drunk, and you think I fucked this up, 209 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.519 and I tweet in the middle of investigations just because 210 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.919 I try to, you know before before, So like I 211 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.000 think he's just like, I'm gonna we got one. We 212 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.320 did one, okay, so I'm going to brag about it now. 213 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.000 It's interesting though, because it's like, let's just take it 214 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.240 at phase value. Let's not even forget the aesthetics of it, 215 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.080 which are ridiculous. Cash Motel, in what ways are you 216 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.919 responsible for the World Cup going? Well? Just walk me 217 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:17.399 through some of them. 218 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.120 But saying he's responsible for the World Cup not not 219 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.159 going badly. 220 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.639 But that requires are you? But that that requires people 221 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.600 wanting it to go badly? That he's stymied, right like right, like, 222 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.240 what are you talking? 223 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.000 I'm sure he's feeling like there was, you know, a 224 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.600 planned attack on the UFC fight at the White House 225 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.200 and they foiled that. So he's probably thinking himself like 226 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:38.600 I didn't get enough credit. I need to put up 227 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.399 videos from now on when there's no attacks. 228 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.240 Not enough likes in faves for that foiled plot. 229 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.919 It's just amazing, Like here's me waving getting out of 230 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.720 my G five private jet. Man of the people, Cash Hotel. Also, 231 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:51.720 the one thing we know that. 232 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.200 Cash I think is interagency partners. 233 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.639 Cash Mittel has been working hard on trying to arrest 234 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.519 New York Times reporters who reported on Trump's air force One. 235 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.039 Did you see today that the FBI or the dj 236 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.519 IS subpoenad records not only from these journalists, but from 237 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.279 their spouses and one reporter's mother. Yes, got the mother's 238 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.000 phone records. 239 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.039 I wonder if they'll bring that up to Trump any 240 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.159 of the reporters in the White House Correspondence Association when 241 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.559 he's on the Dais the correspondents dinner this week? 242 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:22.080 Maybe? Yeah, maybe the mentalists can. Maybe doctor Oh's Can 243 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.639 Can or whatever his name is, those those man night. 244 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.000 It's a night where we're putting politics aside and the 245 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.399 fact that you're snooping on our report. My mom's yeah, 246 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.960 that's what're you was gonna put it aside for the 247 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.159 night to just sort of honor, just be in the 248 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:35.639 same room. 249 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.039 I think O's could guess the mom Yeah it's good, Like. 250 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.679 Yeah, well yeah, why don't they just ask him for the. 251 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.080 I forgot it's fucking O's Yeah. 252 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.240 I know, I learned that. I learned that. I learned 253 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.279 that from a magician. Yeah I really did. But but yeah, 254 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.120 like we asked him, he'll know, you should just you 255 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.320 do that, mentalize that. 256 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.440 Mentalistic anyway, enough of that, Trump, who uh who just 257 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.960 last month told reporters he was skipping his son's wedding 258 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.279 because of quote a called Iran did not feel the 259 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.799 same way about attending the World Cup, probably because, according 260 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.559 to the White House, Iran is no longer much of 261 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:08.000 a threat. 262 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.159 They have been literally obliterated. 263 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.240 Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered 264 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.039 such clear and devastating, large scale losses in a matter 265 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:19.559 of weeks. 266 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.000 Iran has no air defenses, Iran has no air force, 267 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.720 Iran has no navy. Operation Epic Fury was a historic 268 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.120 and overwhelming victory on the battlefield. 269 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.919 The United States has all the cards. The straits are 270 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.519 now opened. The Iranian military is now destroyed. 271 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.720 We've won. Let me tell it, We've won. You know, 272 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.080 you never like to say too early. You won. 273 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.559 We won the bet in the first hour. It was over. Well. 274 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.080 Apparently someone forgot to tell the Iranians because they've been 275 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.360 attacking US forces all over the Middle East for the 276 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.240 last nine days straight. They've killed at least three Americans 277 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.840 and likely a fourth that that soldier is still officially 278 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.919 considered missing. The Iranian attacks in Jordan have also reported 279 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.039 injured dozens of American troops and damaged helicopters, news that 280 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.960 the Pentagon has just decided not to report, according to 281 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.320 The New York Times, and if you're wondering how it's 282 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.960 possible that Iran can still pull off these kinds of attacks. 283 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.639 You're not alone, here's Fox News' Maria Barbarromo. 284 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.120 I don't understand how it's possible that Iran has the 285 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.720 capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to 286 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.279 lash out at Gulf countries and US military bases because 287 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.240 the US has obliterated Iran's military. And the President continues 288 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.440 to reiterate. 289 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.039 That I'm reading these talking points and for some reason, 290 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.919 they're not true. 291 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.679 I love the idea of her hold on a second. 292 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.720 I mean just the camera follows her out down the 293 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.000 stairs to another room with the whiteboard, and she starts 294 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.519 doing the math on the whiteboard, trying to like figure 295 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.559 out how the thing, and it's like, I don't, this doesn't, 296 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.080 this isn't. I don't think they're I don't think they're 297 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.600 telling the truth. 298 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.919 The president keeps read. The President would not iterate, let 299 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.759 alone reiterate if something's not true like this. He would 300 00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:58.799 never say that maybe. 301 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.480 I just haven't been asking my questions loud enough. 302 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.240 Trump doesn't have a good answer, or really any answer 303 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.480 to Maria Berdromo's question. He threatened revenge on truth social 304 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.399 and sent commonounce more strikes in retaliation. But this is 305 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.960 all he said after the World's Cup when reporters asked 306 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.440 about the Americans who were killed. 307 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.000 We feel very badly, but you know, those great people, 308 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:23.240 those great patriots, are out there fighting that Iran cannot 309 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.320 have a nuclear weapon. 310 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.919 This is a far bigger job that we're doing. 311 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.919 We were doing a little job and stopping them from 312 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.080 having a certain capability. Now we're just ending it. 313 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.320 What Tommy, would you make of Trump's answer there just 314 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.519 a little confusing and just the general developments over the weekend. 315 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.960 Well, clearly he's pulling from a deep well of empathy 316 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.440 at the top there. But on the bigger job part, 317 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.799 it's like there's I think there's two ways to interpret it. 318 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.399 One is like his factory setting is stuck on bullshit, right, 319 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.480 so he's like, now we're reopening the street, and that's 320 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.480 an even bigger message. He he just does hyperbolea with all things. 321 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.879 But maybe it is the beginning of a bigger mission 322 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.720 that could include like a permanent escort mission with the Navy, 323 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.000 or taking territory on the coast to try to like 324 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.759 permanently claim the Straight or from moves. I don't think 325 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.879 we know. I don't think he knows yet probably what 326 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.919 he wants to do. My assumption has been that Trump 327 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.440 does not want to restart the war because he doesn't 328 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.120 want to raise gas prices right now in advance of 329 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.000 the midterms. But the weekends events show how dangerous the 330 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.039 status quo is and that Iran is learning. The Journal 331 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.440 had a piece about how they've adapted their missiles to 332 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.360 move in the sort of like terminal part of the 333 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.360 flight where they're coming downs they can evade our air defenses. 334 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.600 And we still have tens of thousands of service members 335 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.600 in the Middle East that seem like they're not well 336 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:37.039 defended at all. And so like either way, like the reporting, 337 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.879 it makes it sound like he wants to not go 338 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.759 back to a full scale war. But as you noted, 339 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.480 Iran has been hitting targets all over the Middle East, 340 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.240 and the Pentagon is putting out statements that they've hit 341 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.960 targets in Iran for the last ten nights in a row. 342 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.679 So that's not a war. 343 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.320 What is it we are read the war is restarted. 344 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.559 It's whether he whether Trump wants to go so far 345 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.200 as to acknowledge that the seas far that has failed 346 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.799 has failed. 347 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.799 Which he sort of has. I mean, he's like the 348 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.960 MoU is done, who cares? But then and they've told 349 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.559 Congress they're officially back in war. 350 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.000 I guess the other distinction would be there would be 351 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.960 some explanation for what the strategy is behind what they're hitting, 352 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:18.080 other than as tit for tat degrading, Yeah, degrading capabilities generally. 353 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.840 Yeah, this is I mean, Trump very well may not 354 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.440 want a return to full scale war for all the 355 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.799 reasons you outlined, But this is the problem with escalation. 356 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.120 It's like it's unpredictable, and they strike, and then we 357 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.080 have to strike back, and then they strike back again, 358 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.759 and so suddenly the space for diplomacy becomes very very small, 359 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.559 and they just keep going after each other. 360 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:44.080 Well, it also like Americans are dying. They're a group 361 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.639 of fans, like he's at the World Cup.
