00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>XY.

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 2>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.

3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's go to Kat McFarland, who we have now KT,

4
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 3>former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Trump.

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 2>KT.

6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Do you agree with me and Michael and Judge and John.

7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't trust them. And for fifty years they've

8
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>been holding the world hostage with the Strait of Hormouse.

9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>That anything that they've done, and if anybody objects, they say, okay,

10
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>well we're going to close the straight up her moose,

11
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>shut down the world economy, bankrupt all the countries in

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the region because they can't get their oil to market,

13
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>and we've all kind of gone along with it. And

14
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>President Trump has said, okay, enough is enough. So he's

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>doing a couple of things. Number One, he's obviously gotten

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>rid of the nuke program, and if they try to

17
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>rebuild the nuke program, fine, he's just bombed again. If

18
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 2>they try to build new nuclear enrichment facilities and other mountains, fine,

19
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>he can bomb those. So that's all off the table now.

20
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>But what about the Strait of Hormuz. There are many

21
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>ways to deal with this, but one way is to

22
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>make this Strait of Hormuz irrelevant so that they can't

23
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>continue to blackmail. Now, how do you do that? Exactly

24
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>what the President's done by having the blockade. It means

25
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>there are no ships going into Iran, which is causing

26
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>massive inflation. There are no ships going out of Iran,

27
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>no oil going out, so they have no revenue coming in.

28
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>So he's starving the Iranian economy. It's in free fall,

29
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>it's collapsing. So that's one way to do it, and

30
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>the other way to do it is potentially a military action.

31
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I think what he's going to do is because you know,

32
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>he keeps saying I can wait, I've got plenty of time,

33
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and he does because every day the Iranian economy continues

34
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>to implode. Now, what you guys have said is right,

35
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>you can't trust the i ERGC. They're never going to

36
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>make a deal. If they do make a deal, they'll

37
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>sabotage the deal. But at a certain point, ninety one

38
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>million people are not going to be, you know, sacrifice

39
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 2>at the altar of one hundred and eighty thousand messianic

40
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>murderous thugs in the IRGC. So I think one thing

41
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>will happen. Now. The other thing I think that's likely

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to happen is as we get closer to the election,

43
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>the IRGC are going to miscalculate. They don't get President Trump.

44
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They don't understand, and I think they could have an

45
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>They could escalate and have a military action, assuming that

46
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the United States is going to run for the hills.

47
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 2>But in fact President Trump would do just the opposite.

48
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely, John, Are you still with us, John.

49
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a question?

50
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>I am here. I mean, kat Tomorrow is a big

51
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 1>primary in Florida. We just spoke to the Congressman Byron Donalds,

52
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and I hope he picks your daughter to help on

53
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>that campaign.

54
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, she's going to run. She's Michelle. She's standing by Ruddy.

55
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 2>In some ways, I hope he does. In some ways,

56
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>I hope he doesn't because it's a tough job and

57
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>she has four little kids. But she is representative. Fiona

58
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>mifar Own is on his short list of five people

59
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that he's considering and the choice is his. So Byron

60
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>will win the election tomorrow, the primary election tomorrow, and

61
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 2>then he'll pretty quickly choose who he wants is his

62
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>running mate.

63
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Wow, So Katie, that could be fabulous. It runs in

64
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 3>the family, obviously, and she did a great job. I

65
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 3>remember hearing her from the judge and John said she

66
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 3>did a great job at the Saturday breakfast.

67
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 4>She wowed everybody at the Southampton Breakfast. She's absolutely terrific

68
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 4>and she's done a number of times. She's kind of

69
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 4>just like her mother. Yes, he's just like a brother, Katie.

70
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 4>I want to ask you about this new alliance amongst

71
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 4>the Saudis, Pakistan and Turkey. Should we be happy about that?

72
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 4>She would be troubled by that. Where do you see

73
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 4>that's going?

74
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I think we keep our eyes on it. Given the

75
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 2>fact that President Trump has worked very closely with Erewan

76
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>of Turkey and with the Pakistanis, and obviously with the Saudis.

77
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they would have announced that pact unless

78
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 2>President Trump had given his blessing. Now maybe not publicly,

79
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>but privately, I think he gave him a nod in

80
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>the wink, saying, okay, why is it important that they're

81
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, we don't want to have to defend everybody

82
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>in that region for the end of don't tell the

83
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>end of time. So the fact that they're willing to

84
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>work together, the three of them, is good, but you

85
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>have to watch it because whereas Israel in all of this.

86
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Turkey has over time has been Israel's

87
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>best friend and then Israel's worst enemy. The same with

88
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Pakistan and the other countries. So we just have to

89
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>see how do these three countries that Saudis, Pakistan, and

90
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Turkey envision their alliance. If what they're doing is saying, okay,

91
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>we're part of a broader American alliance to counter Iran,

92
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that's great. If they have other objectives, well that's not

93
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>so great. But remember if there are two countries that

94
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>have been really important, well, free countries have been really

95
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>important in the Gaza peace plan have been those three countries, Pakistan,

96
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Turkey and Saudi Arabia. With their support, we've gotten peace

97
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza.

98
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, and now we have Michael Cohen, real quick, what

99
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 3>do you think?

100
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>How is you?

101
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 1>What do you think is the likelihood that Iran is

102
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to stall long enough until Trump leaves? Uh?

103
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 1>That's what that's there, that's their their tactic right now.

104
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>It won't last that long, That's what I think. Their

105
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 2>economy will be collapsed. This will this is one way

106
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>or another. And after the election, you know, it could

107
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>be like The Godfather in Part three where the Godfather

108
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>settles all scores because once the election happens in November,

109
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>President Trump, there's no reason to hold back with Iran.

110
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely, so we will see. It's going to be

111
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 3>an interesting next few weeks, there is no doubt about it.

112
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>KT.

113
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, we love you, Kat, and good luck to

114
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 3>your daughter too.

115
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much,
