Speaker 1: XY.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.
Speaker 3: Well, let's go to Kat McFarland, who we have now KT,
Speaker 3: former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Trump.
Speaker 2: KT.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with me and Michael and Judge and John.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't trust them. And for fifty years they've
Speaker 2: been holding the world hostage with the Strait of Hormouse.
Speaker 2: That anything that they've done, and if anybody objects, they say, okay,
Speaker 2: well we're going to close the straight up her moose,
Speaker 2: shut down the world economy, bankrupt all the countries in
Speaker 2: the region because they can't get their oil to market,
Speaker 2: and we've all kind of gone along with it. And
Speaker 2: President Trump has said, okay, enough is enough. So he's
Speaker 2: doing a couple of things. Number One, he's obviously gotten
Speaker 2: rid of the nuke program, and if they try to
Speaker 2: rebuild the nuke program, fine, he's just bombed again. If
Speaker 2: they try to build new nuclear enrichment facilities and other mountains, fine,
Speaker 2: he can bomb those. So that's all off the table now.
Speaker 2: But what about the Strait of Hormuz. There are many
Speaker 2: ways to deal with this, but one way is to
Speaker 2: make this Strait of Hormuz irrelevant so that they can't
Speaker 2: continue to blackmail. Now, how do you do that? Exactly
Speaker 2: what the President's done by having the blockade. It means
Speaker 2: there are no ships going into Iran, which is causing
Speaker 2: massive inflation. There are no ships going out of Iran,
Speaker 2: no oil going out, so they have no revenue coming in.
Speaker 2: So he's starving the Iranian economy. It's in free fall,
Speaker 2: it's collapsing. So that's one way to do it, and
Speaker 2: the other way to do it is potentially a military action.
Speaker 2: I think what he's going to do is because you know,
Speaker 2: he keeps saying I can wait, I've got plenty of time,
Speaker 2: and he does because every day the Iranian economy continues
Speaker 2: to implode. Now, what you guys have said is right,
Speaker 2: you can't trust the i ERGC. They're never going to
Speaker 2: make a deal. If they do make a deal, they'll
Speaker 2: sabotage the deal. But at a certain point, ninety one
Speaker 2: million people are not going to be, you know, sacrifice
Speaker 2: at the altar of one hundred and eighty thousand messianic
Speaker 2: murderous thugs in the IRGC. So I think one thing
Speaker 2: will happen. Now. The other thing I think that's likely
Speaker 2: to happen is as we get closer to the election,
Speaker 2: the IRGC are going to miscalculate. They don't get President Trump.
Speaker 2: They don't understand, and I think they could have an
Speaker 2: They could escalate and have a military action, assuming that
Speaker 2: the United States is going to run for the hills.
Speaker 2: But in fact President Trump would do just the opposite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, John, Are you still with us, John.
Speaker 2: Do you have a question?
Speaker 1: I am here. I mean, kat Tomorrow is a big
Speaker 1: primary in Florida. We just spoke to the Congressman Byron Donalds,
Speaker 1: and I hope he picks your daughter to help on
Speaker 1: that campaign.
Speaker 2: Well, she's going to run. She's Michelle. She's standing by Ruddy.
Speaker 2: In some ways, I hope he does. In some ways,
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't because it's a tough job and
Speaker 2: she has four little kids. But she is representative. Fiona
Speaker 2: mifar Own is on his short list of five people
Speaker 2: that he's considering and the choice is his. So Byron
Speaker 2: will win the election tomorrow, the primary election tomorrow, and
Speaker 2: then he'll pretty quickly choose who he wants is his
Speaker 2: running mate.
Speaker 3: Wow, So Katie, that could be fabulous. It runs in
Speaker 3: the family, obviously, and she did a great job. I
Speaker 3: remember hearing her from the judge and John said she
Speaker 3: did a great job at the Saturday breakfast.
Speaker 4: She wowed everybody at the Southampton Breakfast. She's absolutely terrific
Speaker 4: and she's done a number of times. She's kind of
Speaker 4: just like her mother. Yes, he's just like a brother, Katie.
Speaker 4: I want to ask you about this new alliance amongst
Speaker 4: the Saudis, Pakistan and Turkey. Should we be happy about that?
Speaker 4: She would be troubled by that. Where do you see
Speaker 4: that's going?
Speaker 2: I think we keep our eyes on it. Given the
Speaker 2: fact that President Trump has worked very closely with Erewan
Speaker 2: of Turkey and with the Pakistanis, and obviously with the Saudis.
Speaker 2: I don't think they would have announced that pact unless
Speaker 2: President Trump had given his blessing. Now maybe not publicly,
Speaker 2: but privately, I think he gave him a nod in
Speaker 2: the wink, saying, okay, why is it important that they're
Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to have to defend everybody
Speaker 2: in that region for the end of don't tell the
Speaker 2: end of time. So the fact that they're willing to
Speaker 2: work together, the three of them, is good, but you
Speaker 2: have to watch it because whereas Israel in all of this.
Speaker 2: You know, the Turkey has over time has been Israel's
Speaker 2: best friend and then Israel's worst enemy. The same with
Speaker 2: Pakistan and the other countries. So we just have to
Speaker 2: see how do these three countries that Saudis, Pakistan, and
Speaker 2: Turkey envision their alliance. If what they're doing is saying, okay,
Speaker 2: we're part of a broader American alliance to counter Iran,
Speaker 2: that's great. If they have other objectives, well that's not
Speaker 2: so great. But remember if there are two countries that
Speaker 2: have been really important, well, free countries have been really
Speaker 2: important in the Gaza peace plan have been those three countries, Pakistan,
Speaker 2: Turkey and Saudi Arabia. With their support, we've gotten peace
Speaker 2: in Gaza.
Speaker 3: Well, and now we have Michael Cohen, real quick, what
Speaker 3: do you think?
Speaker 2: How is you?
Speaker 1: What do you think is the likelihood that Iran is
Speaker 1: going to be able to stall long enough until Trump leaves? Uh?
Speaker 1: That's what that's there, that's their their tactic right now.
Speaker 2: It won't last that long, That's what I think. Their
Speaker 2: economy will be collapsed. This will this is one way
Speaker 2: or another. And after the election, you know, it could
Speaker 2: be like The Godfather in Part three where the Godfather
Speaker 2: settles all scores because once the election happens in November,
Speaker 2: President Trump, there's no reason to hold back with Iran.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, so we will see. It's going to be
Speaker 3: an interesting next few weeks, there is no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: KT.
Speaker 3: Thank you, we love you, Kat, and good luck to
Speaker 3: your daughter too.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much,
