Trump's chaotic threats undermine Iran peace talks


Vice President
[00:10]
J.D. Vance, along with
[00:11]
Special Envoy
[00:12]
Steve Witkoff, and the President's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are on the ground meeting with Iranian officials, along with officials from
[00:18]
Pakistan and Qatar, who are acting as
[00:21]
mediators. And we're now getting a little bit of
[00:23]
color
[00:24]
of what went down behind closed doors. A source inside the when the talks were taking place, told MSNOW that the Iranians were, quote, frustrated by President Trump's recent comments. Trump told Fox News that he told the
[00:38]
Iranians that they would not have a country if they closed the strait. Quote, you won't even make it back to your effing country. He also said, quote, we may take over the strait if we have to. I'll blow the expletive out of them.

Why Trump's threats against Iranian envoys are a diplomatic disaster


I thought it was powerful and it was hopeful. And then Trump, you know, in the most puerile, adolescent way, You know, threatens the talks. And by the way, if there is one taboo in the history of diplomacy going back to the Peloponnesian War is you do not threaten envoys. I
[06:30]
mean, no
[06:32]
matter how opposed you are. And there he is threatening envoys. And by the way, to add to it,
[06:38]
the number one plank in the Memorandum of Understanding says both parties must refrain
[06:44]
from threats of force.

Trump's Red Line: No Ground Troops




And so is the idea that he
[06:26]
realized he had
[06:27]
reached a point, and it was reached a
[06:29]
while ago, where if you want to engage in a war, there's an old saying that maneuver without fire is su***de, but fire without maneuver is inconclusive. And maneuver means ground troops, and Trump doesn't want to do it. And he doesn't want to escalate like that. For him, that's sort of a red line. I'm not saying he won't do it again.

What Trump is actually fixated on




But his overall presentation was pretty positive. And he just... loves the idea that gas prices are coming down, oil prices are coming down, and the stock market is going up. That's what he's really fixated on. And that's sort of the sub-headline of this entire thing, is that Trump had had enough of this war, he'd had enough of people talking about high fuel prices, and he wanted it to end. And this is the way he brought about an end. Yeah, it's fascinating. And it does raise so many questions, given what he said to you about, you know, is this what really people around him are telling him?

Trump's bizarre take on 'Regime Change'




And Trump responded to him in that case. He said, I actually think
[01:04]
it's regime change if you want to know the truth. Now, Caputo responds to Trump, how is it regime change if you had, and then Trump jumps in on him and says, because they're different people. Caputo responds, but you have Kaminé Jr. You have still a lot of IRGC officials there. To which Trump responds, well, they're different people. All right. Khamenei Jr. is different from the father. It's almost like it's almost like
[01:28]
that's a late night skit. OK, there's a lot more news from this headline making interview.

Wait, Did They Compare Algae to the Iranian Navy?



Just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
[06:03]
That really is their
[06:04]
statement. I mean, I had to read it twice. But yes, it really was their statement. Because
[06:09]
guess what? This really is our country right now. And I have to say the split screen between all of that and then what we saw today happening on the south side of Chicago, which was all about public service and vision and service to the country. And how do you give back to a community that that gave so much to Barack and Michelle Obama, a park for children, a library, a basketball court. And Donald Trump is like, oh, yeah, my
[06:35]
pool guy going to fix this.

Experts debunk Trump's Iran claims




So, Kareem, is this a new regime that's much more reasonable and less radicalized than the two prior regimes over the past four months or four weeks? I'm sorry. That's false, Erin. It's the same regime. It's new personnel. It's the same ideology. It's a 56-year-old Ayatollah Khamenei instead of an 86-year-old Ayatollah Khamenei. And their fundamental worldview hasn't shifted one iota. So I don't think there's any indication that it's a new
[02:29]
group of men with a different ideology. That
[02:33]
sort of just makes the whole point.

Trump's 100-Year Renovation Fails in Weeks




But CNN went out ourselves yesterday to
[00:38]
see it, and Arsalan Sarfati, as you see, dipped
[00:41]
a bottle into the pool,
[00:42]
filling it with, as you can see, water that has a clear green tint.
[00:46]
Just earlier this
[00:48]
month, President Trump said this renovation would last up to a century after it was completed. And you're going to have something you're going to be very proud of, and it'll last
[00:57]
for 50 to 100 years before you have to do anything with it. Very strong, powerful substance that we use.
[01:05]
And we picked a color called American flag blue. We had color
[01:09]
choices. And before, it was just gray. It was
[01:12]
a color of concrete and stone.
[01:15]
So it's going to be really special.
