1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>President Trump heading back is Iran demands financial compensation. The

2
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>President now demanding peace talks include compensation from the regime

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>for a half century of death and destruction stretching all

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the way back to nineteen seventy nine against Americans. Vice

5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>President Advanced telling Fox the talks are still in a

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>middle stage.

7
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>This thing is not over. It's obviously not at the beginning.

8
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>We're in the middle of the game, and we're applying

9
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.519
<v Speaker 2>a whole host of tools, diplomatic, economic, military tools to

10
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 2>ensure that we get the best outcome for the American people.

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel quite confident we will get there, but we're

12
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>still a bit in the middle of the game.

13
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>Retired Colonel Mai Journegan is a former Rocky Invasion commander

14
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and Heritage Foundation visiting Fella. My good to be with

15
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 1>you this say afternoon. The President does appear to be

16
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>looking at the economic portion of this. Again, out of

17
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what Jade Vance was saying there just a moment ago,

18
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 1>here's what he told Axios. He says, we're only semi

19
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 1>negotiating with them. We're just watching Iran with its huge

20
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 1>inflation and the fact they have no money. He stressed

21
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 1>that Iran is in quote very bad shape economically and

22
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>has no money to pay its troops. The US naval

23
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regimes economic crisis. Trump said,

24
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>it will work out. It always works out. It's like

25
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 1>a chess game, Trump said of the back and forth

26
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>with Iran. So the plan seems to be to choke

27
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>out the Iranian regime with economic strangulation. But the president

28
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>tried that some weeks ago. It didn't work.

29
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Hey, good afternoon, John, You're exactly right. It is working.

30
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 3>It's still long game. The Uranians are losing five hundred

31
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 3>million dollars a day. They have eighty five percent inflation.

32
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>At the end of that quote, it says they're running

33
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 3>out of money to pay their soldiers and their police.

34
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>But more importantly, they're playing subsidies to their population to

35
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>keep them compliant. They're running out of money to pay

36
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 3>that too. Their currency is trading a two million reality

37
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>to the US dollar. They cannot open the blockade because

38
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>they say the Straits of Hormuz aren't closed, but actually

39
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>they're only closed to Iran ships continue to get out

40
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 3>every day. I'm reminded John of David Bow and Queen

41
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 3>Song under pressure because that's what the Iranians are feeling

42
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 3>right now.

43
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Regardless though the Foreign Ministry says that they've got the

44
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>upper hand. Listen to the Foreign Ministry spokesman.

45
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Here, Madame Mique.

46
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 4>As long as the US naval blockade remains in place

47
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 4>under UN General Assembly Resolution three three one four, a

48
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 4>naval blockade of this kind amounts to an act of aggression.

49
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 4>As long as other US violations continue, the necessary conditions

50
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 4>will not be in place for US to say that

51
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 4>the Strait of Horror Moves has become a safe waterway.

52
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, that is the one card that they've got

53
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to play, is threatening shipping in the Strait of Horror Moves.

54
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>We haven't been able to take it away from them,

55
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and until we do, they're going to keep playing this game.

56
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's important to notice that the Iranians are running

57
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>out of assets and options. My friends at US Space

58
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Force were telling me that the Iranians shot close to

59
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 3>one thousand missiles a day at the beginning of this

60
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Now they're shooting eight to twenty a day. That's orders

61
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 3>of zeros of magnet that they're not being able to

62
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 3>get resupplied. Similarly, they're striking drones. As they leave the waterway,

63
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 3>saying that it is closed, they throw one little final

64
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 3>shot of yeah and don't come back. And so what

65
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 3>you're seeing from the Foreign Minister is you're seeing floundering

66
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 3>publicly and internationally.

67
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 1>So last week we were reporting on a deal that

68
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Aman was cutting with Iran that may allow Iran to

69
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 1>control traffic inbound to the Straight of Horror Moves and

70
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>that Oman would handle traffic that's outbound for the Straight

71
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>of Hormones. And it seems to me that for the

72
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>United States giving Iran any kind of controller veto power

73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 1>over who goes in or out of that straight would

74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>be disasters, particularly when we've got an entire fleet of

75
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>warships up there in Bahrain in the fifth Fleet Headquarters.

76
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 3>John, You're exactly right that claim. And the negotiations between

77
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Iran Oman Oman is ludicrous in my opinion, because imagine,

78
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 3>you know an eighteen year old girl and she wants

79
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>to go to the prom, and she wants a date,

80
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 3>and she's negotiating with her eight year old brother to

81
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 3>get a date instead of negotiating with other eighteen year

82
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 3>old boys. And so that's what Ron is doing. They're

83
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 3>showing progress to their internal population. Look, look we're doing something.

84
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 3>We're negotiating something that doesn't matter and we can't enforce

85
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 3>and nobody's going to agree to. But look, we're doing

86
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 3>something instead of actually negotiating to give up their nuclear

87
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 3>weapons and give up their claims to control the Straits

88
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 3>and Core News.

89
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'll see where all of this goes. Might be

90
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>a little puzzling to some people at the moment, but

91
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. President Trump has pulled things rabbits out of

92
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 1>a half before. We'll see if you can do it

93
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 1>this time around. Mike, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it.

94
