00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.000
President Trump is lashing out again against leaders in Iran
2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.759
as the two sides give mixed messages about the state
3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.279
of negotiations. On True Social yesterday, the President called out
4
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:16.600
Iranian officials, calling them quote unbelievably duplicitous. After Tehran contradicted
5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.640
his claim, Negotiations were resuming later yesterday in the Oval Office,
6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.960
the President warnant of what he says is the last
7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.679
chance for Iran to sign a deal.
8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.760
Many countries, called many, the leaders of many up friendly
9
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.600
with a lot of them, almost all of them one
10
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.960
way or the other, and they all wanted to give
11
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.799
this a last chance. Is the last chance. This is
12
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.560
not something that it doesn't happen. This is the last
13
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.159
chance for them to sign a good document.
14
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.079
Where are the Iran talks and where you were required?
15
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.960
If I right there tomorrow, I mean they're going to
16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.359
go quickly one way or the other.
17
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:55.520
And some very complex.
18
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.079
We're talking about the straight the opening of the strait,
19
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:05.200
having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open. And that's
20
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.719
phase one. And phase two is we then will talk
21
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.879
about the nuclear capacity, the nuclear of what you know,
22
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.680
as we've been mentioned, basically, it's I think most of
23
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.799
the d nuclearization of around has to happen, has to happen,
24
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.799
and that'll be the second phase.
25
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.760
Would will Ron be willing to refer to fully free
26
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.920
navigation has to be. I'm not gonna let them charge.
27
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.120
Anybody's gonna charge, will charge.
28
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.719
We're the one that has total We have total control.
29
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.280
You know, we have a thing called the blockade with
30
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.879
his navy, and that navy is they call it a
31
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.280
wall of steel, the United States Wall of Steel. And no, no,
32
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.719
there's not going to be charging. We're not talking about
33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.280
charging at all. They won't be charging.
34
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.760
So those comments were yesterday. You heard the President say
35
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.840
tomorrow the strait will be open. That would put it
36
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.719
open today. But the New York Times is reporting Iran
37
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.480
and Oman are in on an agreement to reopen shipping
38
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.879
traffic in the Strait of Hormuz that could cement Iran's
39
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.159
control of the waterway that was open, of course, before
40
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.080
the war began. Iranian and American officials say under the agreement,
41
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.080
vessels heading into the Persian Gulf will transit a channel
42
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.960
controlled by Iran, while ships leaving the Gulf will travel
43
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.400
on a channel near Oman. Iranian officials ad while there
44
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.400
will be no tolls, charged. The agreement includes a service
45
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.960
fee to cover the environmental impact of the shipping, security
46
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.319
for the cargo ships and containers and the tankers and
47
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.120
staffing revenues Iranian officials.
48
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.879
Say would be divided equally.
49
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.400
Between Iran and Oman. Jeff before we get to the
50
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.319
Senator on all this, just put together all the comments
51
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.000
we just heard. How many times have we heard this
52
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.520
is Iran's last chance? How many times have we heard
53
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.599
the deal will be struck in a day or two.
54
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.960
It's not really that complex. The strait will be open.
55
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.599
We're dominating the straight has been five months of this
56
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.800
essentially constantly.
57
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.439
I mean, it's his refrain when he's asked about it.
58
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.639
And it's been a study of contradictions from the very
59
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.879
beginning of this war, both in what he wanted to
60
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.159
achieve with it and how he was going to get
61
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.360
out of it, and that manifested itself even more over
62
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.840
the last couple of weeks when we thought at first
63
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.599
that it was going to end because they'd gotten this
64
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.120
MoU and they had a cease fire. But Iron does
65
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.039
not play by the same rules, and President Trump kind
66
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.599
of makes up his own rules as he goes along
67
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.599
to and you've seen that both in his rhetoric and
68
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.199
in his actions with regard to this war.
69
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
I mean, Senator, as you listen to the President yesterday,
70
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.000
I think a lot of people going about their lives,
71
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.520
especially during the summer, tuning in

and tuning out a
72
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.879
little bit. Just hear it, and they go, are we
73
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.360
doing this still? Is this still the state of play?
74
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.639
So just from the inside, from everything you know about
75
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.960
our intelligence, about our military about this war, what is
76
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.360
the state of play right now?
77
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.919
Look, the state of play, tragically is that President Trump
78
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.960
has failed to achieve any of the major goals he
79
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.759
set out five months ago for this expensive, costly war
80
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.599
of choice.
81
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.400
And what Delawarians tell me is.
82
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.159
That gas and groceries, healthcare and housing all have gone up.
83
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.080
And five months in, we've paid too big a cost
84
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.520
for this war. I tell you, back in February, the
85
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.960
Strait of Hormuz was open and there was no one
86
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.399
charging any fees and there was no threat of control
87
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.040
by Iran. And what President Trump said, we would accomplish
88
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:23.319
a regime change.
89
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:24.920
Remember help is on the way.
90
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.279
Iatol a two point zero angrier, more in control with
91
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.879
a more extreme Iyer GC that we were going to
92
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.639
wipe out their support for proxies. Well, the Hutis are
93
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.839
currently holding hostage the others straight the entrance to the
94
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.759
Red Sea, that we were going to end their ability
95
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.800
to strike our allies in the region. They're still launching
96
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.600
ballistic missiles and drones, and that the American people would
97
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.720
end up safer because there'd be a permanent end to
98
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.120
any nuclear enrichment or any potential path to a bomb.
99
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.639
Those negotiations have gone nowhere, So frankly, I'm concerned that there's.
100
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.319
No good plan for how to get out of this.
101
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.920
Those of us who've.
102
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.040
Been parents know that when you're trying to set some condition,
103
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.480
you can't go by the account of one. You got
104
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.360
to go to your room and then go five four, three,
105
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.560
two and a half, two and a quarter, one and
106
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:17.439
three quarters.
107
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.319
Now that's what he's doing. No one believes him anymore.
108
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.279
He makes these statements, and you know, with one hand
109
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.920
he's saying that the oil and gas companies are making
110
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.759
too much money, when those are the exact people he
111
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.319
said during his campaign, give me a billion dollars and
112
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.560
I'll give you the world. And he's saying we have
113
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.360
total control over the straight of horror moves. When there's
114
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.519
nothing moving through the straight of horn moves. It is
115
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.199
weakening us as a nation. He's abandoned our core allies,
116
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.319
and he's put us on the back foot globally on
117
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.480
all the other issues facing our country.
118
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.560
Senator, First, thanks for the parenting tips and take some
119
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.759
notes how to talk to my kids language night a
120
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.199
couple of day. First, of all, the tolls, I mean,
121
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.000
golf States are going to be furious. They made it
122
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.959
very clear. This was the straight up moves, was all
123
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.000
open and free before the end of February. Now they're
124
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.720
gonna be paying some sort of fee hold, whatever you
125
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.720
want to call it. I have a hard time imagining
126
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.920
some of those around neighbor states are gonna like the
127
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.120
idea of paying Iran, that they're gonna use that money
128
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.680
to help them rebuild what has been destroyed. But also
129
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.000
I can't help but go back to President Trump's true
130
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.199
social posts, another wild one any where he calls Iran
131
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.560
unbelievably du plus to this what like we all that's
132
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.720
what they do, like, that's what Iran has been all along,
133
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.000
and it just to me it seems another moment and
134
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.360
this is my real question for you is this war
135
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.279
will end at some point, we think, But does the
136
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.879
United States project so much weaker to the rest of
137
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.920
the world than we did before, especially if we end
138
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.480
up cutting and running from the region and leaving Iran
139
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.120
in control of one of the most vital waterways on
140
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:45.800
the globe.
141
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.120
Yes, and look, we're in a very dangerous moment in
142
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.759
the world. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine continues, helped
143
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.040
by Iran and China and
North Korea, and China continues
144
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.480
to further incircle Taiwan to project naval power further and
145
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.160
further into the Western Pacific. All of these four countries
146
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:13.160
that are determined adversaries of the United States are sharing material, troops, technology.
147
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.040
They are coming closer together in their determination to undo
148
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.480
our place in the world. And President Trump has distanced
149
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.439
us from our most important and trusted allies. Recent polls
150
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.560
show that folks in Canada and Mexico have a.
151
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.160
Higher view of China than the United States.
152
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.439
So whether it's our relationship with our NATO allies in Europe,
153
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.000
it's our relationship in North America with Canada and Mexico,
154
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.879
or in the Western Pacific with long close and trusted
155
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:46.240
treaty allies like Japan, Korea, Australia, the Philippines, his tariff regime,
156
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.759
his throwing taxes at every single country in a willy
157
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.720
nilly way just to try and get out from under
158
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.959
the Supreme Courts control, and the way his own personal
159
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.240
corruption has set us back in terms of our reputaeation
160
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.240
globally has weakened us. He started you started this section
161
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.480
with him saying, Oh, the people who are making too
162
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.800
much are Exon Mobile and Chevron. The person who's making
163
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.959
too much is President Trump and his having made billions
164
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.240
in a crypto deal and running this government as a
165
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:23.399
corrupt family enterprise weakens our moral authority globally in a
166
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.879
profound and lasting way.
167
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.480
You know, Senator, this war supposed to last four to
168
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.160
six weeks at the beginning. Obviously we're in month six
169
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.720
and in a state of global stalemate. But at some
170
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.799
point it's going to end. How is it going to end?
171
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.000
We've watched President Trump operate now in a second term,
172
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.960
first and second term. What do you think is going
173
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.480
to bring this to a close.
174
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.600
What will happen?
175
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.879
I think it will end badly.
176
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.399
I think it will end with him accepting a deal
177
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.720
that is worse than the deal that Barack Obama had,
178
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.720
that had inspectors on the ground, that had real clarity
179
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.519
about what was and wasn't going on on the ground.
180
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.320
I think he will simply concede and accept that having
181
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.120
Iran stop firing drones and missiles at our bases and
182
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.919
our allies, and having them have control of the straight
183
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.080
over moves the ability to charge fees is acceptable when
184
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.840
facing midterm elections where his numbers are going through the floor.
185
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.159
And frankly, that's a bad deal and that puts US
186
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.080
on a weak foot in the region and globally. But
187
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.080
we are in a very tenuous position militarily in terms
188
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.080
of our ability to continue intercepting Iranian drones and missiles.
189
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.840
They have more of them than we had been.
190
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.440
Told they had even as a few weeks ago, and sadly,
191
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.360
our regional allies feel like they can't absorb any more
192
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.799
hits to their facilities, their oil and gas facilities, and
193
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.240
their civilian facilities from Iran. So I think this ends
194
00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:05.679
badly for US assass
