Speaker 1: And now for a moment of clarity.
Speaker 2: The closing of the straits means that oil and natural
gas is not going through to the international markets. That's
pushing up the price of gas around the world. Ordinary
Americans can see that when they go to the pump,
they can see the price of oil has gone through
the roof. And so it's really hard to see what
it is that we're fighting for here and what it
is that President Trump thinks he's going to achieve that
we didn't already have. That's the absurdity of all this
is we had a good deal of the Iranians. It
took a long time to negotiate, and it was working,
and the President hasn't made clear what it is that
he is going to do that's going to be better
than what we already had.
Speaker 1: Ambassador Own is right on all counts. We had it
all right at the table, all negotiated, all laid out,
everybody signed off, and it was one numb nut in
the jar that broke loose and broke the jar for everybody.
And that's where we find ourselves. So I need you
to help me, sir, understand the answer to a question
that our team and I and others. I have been pondering,
is the President delusional or in denial about an Iran deal?
And I asked that because today, you know, he made
these disclaim about getting some goodies from Iran. Let's let's
let's just take a listen to the next level of
Trump here.
Speaker 3: They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave
us a present and the president arrived today. It was
a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money.
And I'm not going to tell you what that president is.
It was oil and gas related and it was a
very nice thing they did. Yeah, it was related to
the flow and to the STRAIGHTA. It was negotiating on
to control the straight from now on we can we'll
have control of anything we want.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you what it is, but
it was all in glass related. I mean, I mean,
who's help me understand what this? How this How this
plays in the real world where our soldiers are now
landing at some point this week in Iran. Civilians have
already been killed, the world economy has been upended. And
this is the ping pong back and forth crazy that
we have going on coming out of the White House.
Speaker 4: It's disappointing to listen to him talk that way. I
hope we'll understand someday what that great price, the great
present was. I want to remind everybody we just handed
them a giant gift of billions and billions and billions
of dollars to the Iranians because we lifted sanctions on
their oil.
Speaker 1: That's my call, Steele on the weeknight Monday through Friday,
at seven pm Eastern on MS now
