I'm going to play another clip for you,

0:01

Larry, from yesterday. And the president

0:04

is surrounded by, among others,

0:06

Secretary of State Rubio, uh, and

0:09

Secretary of State Lutnik. You got to

0:12

watch Rubio, who's more interested in

0:15

looking at the shoes that Trump gave him

0:18

than he is in looking at the audience

0:20

when Trump is saying things that Rubio

0:22

knows he can't defend. And then you have

0:24

to watch Lutnik shake his head no when

0:28

Trump says the Israelis are happy about

0:33

this deal and where Trump comes up with

0:35

this stuff but we'll talk about this

0:37

Chris cut number one

0:38

>> many countries all over the world are so

0:41

every country I think Israel too look

0:44

think of what Israel is getting they're

0:47

not going to be nuked it's very simple I

0:49

told BBB

0:51

your biggest risk was that They drop a

0:55

nuclear weapon into the middle of

0:57

Israel. They'd only need one and there

1:00

would be no more Israel. Think of it,

1:01

baby. You got the best the most

1:03

important thing that you were asking for

1:05

is that. So, I think they're happy.

1:11

People around him were not happy because

1:13

they know the uh near impossibility of

1:17

uh defending this. I mean this is a

1:18

quantum leap

1:22

>> from um surrender

1:24

>> right

1:25

>> unconditional surrender where and now

1:28

Iran has emerged from a confrontation

1:30

with the world's most powerful military

1:34

celebrating

1:36

>> yes well this was uh uh is quite a

1:39

contrast I don't know if you've watched

1:41

your former employer the folks on your

1:43

former employer network uh they're not a

1:46

bunch of happy campers

1:48

you know the and a lot of the you know

1:50

the person what is General Keane saying

1:52

this morning

1:53

>> well his head I think his head exploded

1:57

uh he just uh they can't believe that

2:00

they feel betrayed by Trump and you know

2:04

again you got to give Trump you know

2:07

we've talked about uh and Robert Barnes

2:09

in particular about some of the the odd

2:13

behaviors by Donald Trump but he's he

2:16

whatever difficulties or um weaknesses

2:20

from potential preffrontal loal lobe

2:24

dementia, he still has some in reasoning

2:27

intact. And when he was told what the

2:31

real consequences that that were facing

2:34

with this depletion of the strategic

2:36

petroleum reserve, he he you know he he

2:40

he made the made the right decision

2:43

there. there was there was no other way

2:45

out of this. The these people that

2:47

think, "Oh, all we had to do is just use

2:49

more military power." No. In fact, the

2:54

the administration created a problem for

2:56

itself by not accurately reporting how

2:59

much damage Iran was doing to US

3:03

military installations, key

3:06

communications radar sites, and the

3:08

aircraft in the region. you know, just

3:11

just with the uh the the MQ9 Reaper

3:16

drone alone, almost two billion dollars

3:19

in losses with that. So, you know,

3:23

that's not, you know, and that's just

3:24

dealing with the drone. They're not

3:26

talking about other aircraft that have

3:28

been destroyed, but more importantly,

3:30

these different radar systems and um

3:33

let's call them satellite systems that

3:35

were on the ground and destroyed in the

3:38

again in multiple billions of dollars.

3:41

So again, the the American public was

3:44

largely kept in the dark about all of

3:46

this and this seems to come out of the

3:48

blue. But uh you know Trump now I and

3:52

and this may be too late for him. Uh you

3:55

know they're trying to put the put put

3:57

the brakes on this war and it may it

4:00

just may be too late to prevent the

4:02

economic turmoil that he was warned

4:05

about this week.
