Transcript [00:00] Is Trump falling for it again? That's [00:02] the question. Falling for what? Falling [00:05] for the negotiation game with Iran. See, [00:08] I've said this many times since the very [00:11] beginning of the war. Let's just go back [00:12] and frame things. going all the way back [00:14] to midFebruary before the war before the [00:18] launch of Epic Fury about 10 days 12 [00:20] days before the war. Steve Witco gave an [00:23] interview on Fox where he said that that [00:28] President Trump was frustrated or [00:30] confused [00:32] um and he didn't understand why the [00:34] Iranians weren't capitulating in the [00:36] face of that massive military buildup. [00:40] And I of course wrote a piece that I've [00:42] talked about many times. I wrote a piece [00:44] in the Jerusalem Post right after that [00:45] saying, "Hello, they ain't going to [00:47] capitulate. There's no reason for them [00:49] to." Not to mention the fact that they [00:51] have this 12ver Shiite Mai uh ideology [00:56] with that they believe in bringing the [00:59] world to apocalypse and that's what will [01:01] summon the Madi. So if you're dealing [01:03] with people who that's their goal is to [01:05] cause maximum chaos and destruction, [01:07] there's no real negotiating with them. [01:09] But I've also stressed the point over [01:10] the last few months that the that every [01:13] time Trump says they want a deal. They [01:15] don't want a deal. They want but they do [01:17] want to negotiate. They love [01:19] negotiating. Negotiating buys time. [01:21] Negotiating [01:23] strings things along and it prevents the [01:25] Americans from attacking because it's [01:27] it's kind of, you know, it's not you [01:29] don't do that while you're negotiating. [01:30] You kind of it's in the nature of things [01:32] that you kind of lay off on the kinetic [01:34] attacks while a negotiation is going on. [01:36] So it buys them very valuable time and [01:39] it's a good situation for them when [01:40] there's negotiations ongoing and they [01:43] tend to always string things along, [01:45] refuse, back out, violate agreements, [01:47] but then when things get when it feels [01:50] like the walls are closing in on them, [01:51] they agree to negotiate again. Then [01:52] Trump says, "Oh, I think we got a deal. [01:54] I think a deal is closer." The question [01:56] is, is Trump falling for it again? And [01:59] you know, you can tell me what you [02:00] think, but I want to play you a clip [02:02] here u of uh of Trump from yesterday at [02:06] the United Nations General Assembly [02:08] where he was asked about some [02:11] conversations that it appears happened [02:13] between his team and the Iranians. Let's [02:15] take a look. [02:22] >> Anyone from your team met with the [02:23] Iranian delegation? Anyone from or plans [02:26] to meet with who? Will you what you [02:27] said? [02:28] >> Yeah, today. [02:29] >> How was that conversation, Mr. [02:31] President? [02:31] >> About an hour ago. [02:32] >> Okay. [02:33] >> Went very well. It ended an hour ago. It [02:35] was a meeting that lasted for three [02:38] hours. It ended an hour ago. [02:40] >> What was that? [02:40] >> It was a very good meeting. I mean, I [02:42] must tell you, it's very I can't imagine [02:45] why they wouldn't want to do it. It's a [02:46] greatness, potential greatness or [02:50] >> obliteration. [02:51] Two choices. [02:55] I [snorts] can't imagine why they [02:56] wouldn't want to make a deal. It's [02:58] greatness or obliteration. I mean, who [03:00] wouldn't wouldn't you want economic [03:03] prosperity and greatness rather than be [03:05] obliterated? It's a complete [03:07] misunderstanding of their ideological [03:09] priorities and what actually matters to [03:10] them. Because in Trump's mind, he says, [03:12] "I can't imagine why they wouldn't make [03:13] a deal." He also can't imagine why they [03:15] wouldn't have capitulated at the [03:17] beginning of the war. Why they would [03:18] rather have their country get destroyed [03:21] than give in on their nuclear program. [03:23] He doesn't understand them. And he's [03:25] saying that. [03:27] Of course, it's a good deal. Right now, [03:29] I'm not saying Trump is a fool. Not at [03:30] all. And I'm not saying he's getting [03:31] fooled again. But he has at at the I [03:35] think that in the core of his being, he [03:38] believes that there is a breaking point [03:41] where they will bend a knee. And up [03:43] until now, that the reason they haven't [03:44] reached it isn't because it's impossible [03:46] to get a deal with them, but it's [03:48] because the breaking point is further [03:50] down the road than we thought it was. [03:51] And if we keep pressing, we'll [03:52] eventually get to that breaking point. [03:55] But I don't think there is such a [03:57] breaking point. Again, their ideology [03:58] [clears throat] tells you that there is [03:59] no such breaking point. Uh, and we'll [04:01] get into their ideology a little bit [04:03] more towards the end of this video. I [04:04] have this really cool nugget about their [04:07] religious belief that I missed last week [04:11] and and it's actually really cool, [04:13] really interesting. So stick around for [04:14] that. All right, let's get back to this [04:16] video. [04:18] >> In one case, it's obliteration and the [04:21] other alternative is potential [04:22] greatness. It could be a great country. [04:24] >> Well, there's nothing to say. They had a [04:26] very good meeting, very productive [04:27] meeting and they have another one [04:28] scheduled in the very near future and I [04:30] think Steve if you want to Jared want to [04:33] say something but they had a very [04:35] productive meeting. Yes. [04:36] >> But then you don't want to say [04:37] something. [04:40] >> I feel very good right now. [04:42] >> That's [04:44] [laughter] [04:44] >> I feel very good. [04:46] >> It's a blessing working for President [04:48] Trump. [04:49] >> They had a very good meeting and we'll [04:50] see how it turns out. But certainly it's [04:53] to their advantage to make a deal. And [04:55] if we can do that, it's preferable. I [04:58] guess you know, [05:00] >> it's to their advantage to make a deal. [05:03] But he's hedging. [05:06] >> There's two alternatives and you heard [05:07] him in my speech today. One is a very [05:10] bad thing and another it could lead to [05:13] greatness for the country. So I would [05:16] think they'd want to do that. [05:18] >> All right. [05:19] Is he falling for it or not? I don't [05:21] know. But you see where this is going [05:24] here. They love making they love [05:25] negotiation. [05:27] Not interested in a deal, but they love [05:28] the negotiation. So if they met with [05:30] Witco for three hours yesterday and then [05:32] they've scheduled another meeting coming [05:33] up, that's exactly what the Iranians [05:35] love. That string thing that strings [05:37] things along in the nature of things. If [05:40] there's an ongoing negotiation, it means [05:42] the Americans tend to back off of the [05:44] kinetic action as well. Uh, the [05:47] Americans are always looking for [05:48] confidence building measures because [05:50] they view compromise. They're [05:52] Westerners. They view compromise as a [05:54] virtue. So, they're always looking for [05:55] some give and take. The Iranians love [05:58] that. Let's take a look now at how [06:00] Iranian state media is spinning this [06:03] whole issue. Okay, let's take a look uh [06:07] at what they have to say. Let me pull [06:08] this up. Here we go. So, here's Wana [06:11] from today. Latest updates on Iran US [06:14] talks, war or peace. As the UN General [06:17] Assembly gets underway in New York, [06:19] mounting pressure and increased US [06:21] military activity in the region have [06:23] once again put the future of US Iran US [06:25] relations at the center of the of [06:26] attention. And what are we talking about [06:28] latest on talks? And look at this. They [06:31] are so adamant about denying that [06:33] they're actually talking to the [06:34] Americans. You see, remember in their [06:37] world view, negotiations are a sign of [06:40] defeat. They're a sign of capitulation. [06:43] Compromise is not a virtue. There isn't [06:45] even a word for it. Okay, watch this. [06:47] Despite Trump's statements, Iran has not [06:49] confirmed the start of new negotiations. [06:52] Thran has conveyed its conditions to the [06:54] US. So, they're dictating, right, [06:55] through intermediaries and stresses that [06:58] this should not be interpreted as the [06:59] beginning of a new conventional [07:00] negotiating process. So, when Trump says [07:02] we met directly, no, we didn't. Number [07:04] two, Iran has seven formal conditions [07:06] for changing the current situation and [07:08] reopening the straight of Hormuz. Number [07:10] three, messages conveyed to the [07:11] mediators made clear that Iran is not [07:13] engaged in direct negotiations and has [07:16] only communicated its positions to the [07:18] other parties. Right? Like I mean there [07:22] six lines into the article the three [07:23] times they've already said that they're [07:25] not engaged in direct negotiations. [07:27] Number four, Iran's conditions include [07:29] the release of frozen assets, an end to [07:31] the war on all fronts, and the lifting [07:32] of the blockade. This goes back to the [07:34] point that General Jack Keane makes all [07:36] the time, which is that there's no such [07:37] thing as a good deal because any deal [07:39] will involve a massive financial payoff [07:42] to the regime and will aid in their [07:44] reconstruction and Trump's not going to [07:45] be in power forever. Number five, all [07:48] diplomatic actions are being carried out [07:49] with authorization from the highest [07:50] levels. Fine, we'll get to that more in [07:52] a little bit. [07:54] Let's get to the summation. Overall, the [07:57] current situation can be reduced simply [07:59] to a cannot be reduced simply to a [08:01] choice between talks or war. On one [08:03] side, mediation channels remain active [08:07] with issues with issues such as ending [08:09] the war and the straight of hormuse [08:10] under discussion. On the other, growing [08:12] military pressure and major [08:14] disagreements over the conditions [08:15] continue to keep the risk of escalation [08:17] alive. Then they wrote and then they had [08:19] a second piece also from today called [08:22] the US deception operation code named [08:24] short-term understanding. And this was [08:25] really interesting. [08:29] These these are two pieces in one day. [08:31] both about the strategy, right? They're [08:34] always writing these pieces that are [08:35] just revealing the strategy or [08:37] discussing strategy, showing how clever [08:39] they are. So, in this piece, they're [08:41] talking about how [08:44] the Trump administration just wants to [08:47] get through the midterms, and therefore, [08:49] the Trump administration just wants a [08:51] shortterm arrangement to get past the [08:53] midterms. And there's a there's a a gem [08:57] right at the end of this piece. It's not [08:58] a long piece. With the straight of [09:00] Hormuz closed, putting severe pressure [09:02] on energy markets, US crude oil [09:05] inventories have fallen to their lowest [09:07] level in 44 years. Diesel prices have [09:09] hit a record high. Surge in bond yields [09:11] has forced Washington to back away from [09:13] one of Trump's campaign promises and [09:15] raise interest rates. So, they're [09:17] setting the stage that Trump is in a [09:19] panic. Trump is in a crisis. He's got a [09:20] big problem. He's got he's got high high [09:22] fuel prices. He's got low crude [09:25] inventories, which I don't even know if [09:27] it's true. Uh, and he's and you know, [09:29] he's he's suffering from the war. [09:31] Against this backdrop, the United States [09:33] appears to be seeking a short-term [09:35] deescalation ahead of the midterms. [09:39] Okay. Uhhuh. That's what they want. [09:42] Such signs of such an effort now [09:44] emerging are now emerging. A convoy of [09:47] Saudi super tankers carrying millions of [09:49] barrels of oil has gathered in the [09:51] Persian Gulf waiting behind the street [09:52] of Hormuz. In other words, Trump's [09:54] looking for a short-term solution to get [09:55] all this Saudi oil out. On Tuesday, [09:59] yesterday, a spokesman for Qatar's [10:00] foreign ministry said that Iran and the [10:02] United States had reached a short-term [10:04] understanding to begin negotiations. [10:06] They'd reached an understanding to begin [10:08] negotiations. This is the this is [10:10] exactly what the Iranians want. And of [10:12] course, Qatar is the one is the ones who [10:14] are involved. They're trying to save the [10:15] regime. [10:16] Taken together, these developments [10:18] reinforce the view that Washington is [10:20] seeking a temporary easing of tensions [10:22] to keep energy prices under control [10:24] ahead of the midterms. And look at this [10:26] gem down here. One of the one of the [10:29] little moves that they make a lot in [10:31] Iranian state media, especially in this [10:34] outlet in WAN, one of the patterns is [10:37] when they want to say something [10:39] controversial [10:41] that or a little inflammatory or that [10:43] pushes the envelope a little bit, [10:45] they'll put it in the in the in the in [10:48] the voice of some expert because [10:50] remember this is state media. [10:53] Economist Majid Shakaryi also argues [10:56] that if Iran does not escalate tensions [10:59] before the US midterm elections, the [11:02] United States will intensify tensions [11:04] after the elections. Whoa. So, they're [11:08] putting in the in the mouth of this guy [11:10] Majid Shaka, but not in quotes because [11:12] this guy probably never even said this. [11:14] It's just in this state media piece that [11:18] Iran should escalate tensions ahead of [11:20] the midterms to preempt the Americans [11:23] waiting till after the midterms because [11:25] the Americans the the whole point of [11:26] this piece is that the Americans want [11:28] quiet to bring down oil prices, get more [11:32] oil out, solve Trump's domestic issues [11:35] ahead of the midterms, but then they're [11:36] going to escalate after the midterms. So [11:38] right there at the end of the piece [11:39] buried down there in this in the words [11:41] of some expert is that Iran should [11:44] escalate ahead of the midterms. In [11:46] contrast, Vice President Jafar Gan Pana [11:49] believes Iran has already demonstrated [11:50] its victory in practice and the next [11:53] step is is to secure victory over its [11:55] adversary by lifting sanctions and [11:58] creating the conditions for unrestricted [12:00] oil exports. Okay, so there you have the [12:03] Iranians are spinning this. Let's do one [12:06] more. Bagi interaction with US side took [12:09] place through Qatari mediator. Another [12:11] insistence. This is also from today. [12:13] There's been like a half a dozen pieces [12:15] in the same media outlets in in all the [12:17] different media outlets. There's been a [12:18] number of pieces today insisting [12:21] insisting insisting that everything's [12:22] only through mediators. Don't ever think [12:24] that we're talking directly to the [12:25] Americans. He's adamant about this. [12:28] Speaking about reports of Iran US [12:30] negotiations, Bugay said the interaction [12:32] was aimed at conveying Iran's [12:33] conditions. We're not compromising on [12:35] anything. Remember, negotiation and [12:37] compromise are dirty words in their [12:39] culture. And therefore, they're always [12:40] insistent that there's no direct [12:42] negotiations, and it's not really a [12:43] negotiation. It's just us dictating the [12:45] conditions. We're not giving in on [12:47] anything. Okay, that's the way it works. [12:50] And then it talks about what their terms [12:52] are. Bay also addressed questions over [12:54] why the entire Iranian delegation had [12:56] not left the session. Why did why why' [12:59] they stay in to listen to Trump? And he [13:02] says for for diplomats Iran's seat, [13:04] meaning the seat in the UN as sanctity, [13:07] Iran's seat in a place like the United [13:08] Nations General Assembly is our [13:10] stronghold. And if we are to abandon [13:12] this stronghold because of the harsh [13:14] words, harsh behavior and disparagement [13:16] of other others, then we certainly have [13:18] not fulfilled our duty. Meaning it's a [13:19] sign of strength. I don't care. I'm not [13:21] afraid to listen to you. So that's why [13:23] they didn't abandon their post. And [13:25] finally at the end here [13:28] um he says Iran he said Iran used the [13:31] opportunity provided by the presence of [13:33] its delegation in New York to clearly [13:35] convey these points to the US side. [13:40] And then it talks about how Jared [13:41] Kushner and Steve Witkov had a [13:43] productive meeting with the Iranian [13:44] mediators [13:46] uh uh and uh adding that they had only [13:48] met with the mediators. [13:51] He added that the mediators had engaged [13:53] in mediation for some time [13:56] and that there was momentum toward [13:58] reaching a deal. [14:00] Okay, so the Iranians love this. This is [14:04] exactly what they want. And as for the [14:07] mediators, here is the Pakistani [14:09] president, the Pakistani prime minister, [14:11] Shabbaz Sharif, at UN headquarters. And [14:14] what does he say here? I'll just read [14:15] you the quote at the top. There's a [14:17] little video clip, but it's just [14:18] basically what he said. Um and this is [14:20] this is from today. He said that the [14:22] Islamabad that Islamabad is playing the [14:24] role of a sincere and honest mediator [14:26] between Iran and the United States. [14:28] Referring to the Islamabad memorandum of [14:30] understanding theou signed by Sharif US [14:33] President Trump and Masud Peshkan. He [14:35] said subsequent events had become a bit [14:37] unpredictable but Pakistan had not lost [14:39] hope and would continue efforts to [14:41] deescalate the situation. In other [14:43] words, Pakistan is the honest sincere [14:45] broker here. the the Pakistanis who are [14:49] owned, wholly owned by the Chinese and [14:53] have been doing everything they can from [14:55] the beginning of this war to save the [14:57] Iranian regime from collapse. And and [15:01] then we have this item here. Kamei [15:03] adviser says Thran can negotiate. [15:06] Hardliners say it must not. This is from [15:08] today. A military adviser to the Supreme [15:10] Leader said the government has room to [15:12] deal with Washington. And within hours, [15:14] a lawmaker and guards affiliate outlets [15:17] condemned reported contact with it. The [15:20] split surfaced as guards were reported [15:22] to be directly engaged in Yemen. If the [15:24] Supreme Leader, that's a separate issue [15:26] that the IRGC, it seems like, is [15:28] actually on the ground fighting with the [15:30] Houthis. We'll get to that in a [15:31] different video. If the supreme leader [15:33] has deemed it expedient and left the [15:34] government's hands open in negotiations, [15:36] that's an important act of prudence, [15:38] said this u this major general in the [15:41] IRGC. [15:43] The remarks provided rare public [15:45] confirmation from a senior military [15:47] figure that Peshkan's government has the [15:49] leadership's approval to pursue [15:51] negotiations. You see, it's [15:52] controversial in Iran to negotiate. They [15:54] followed a day of indirect exchanges [15:56] between Iranian and US delegations in [15:58] New York, though major differences [16:00] remain over Washington's naval blockade [16:02] and Thran's conditions for ending the [16:04] conflict. Lawmaker Ibrahim Resi and the [16:07] IRGC affiliated Tashnim and Fars news [16:09] agencies criticized foreign minister [16:11] Aragshi's meeting with Witkov. Resi [16:14] questioned its authorization and called [16:16] it a sign of weakness while the outlets [16:19] argued that it rewarded Washington and [16:21] eased pressure on the United States. [16:23] Reformist politician Golam Hussein [16:26] Karbashi meanwhile said that the [16:28] president should meet Trump to help [16:30] resolve the country's problems echoing a [16:32] similar appeal from senior reformist [16:34] figure Medi Karubi. So we have some [16:36] divide in the Iranian leadership [16:39] bakshayeshistani a member of the [16:40] parliament's national security and [16:42] foreign policy committee also advocated [16:44] acquiring a nuclear weapon before [16:47] leaving the the nuclear [16:48] non-prololiferation treaty. buy or build [16:50] the atomic bomb, then say you're [16:52] withdrawing from the NPT, he said, while [16:54] acknowledging that senior officials were [16:56] not currently seeking withdrawal. Okay, [16:59] so that's what they're saying about the [17:00] state of negotiations. Now, I promised [17:03] this to you. This is last week I made a [17:06] video about this John Fada [17:08] uh [17:10] scam basically that the Iranian regime [17:13] is trying to convince us that there's 31 [17:15] million people or 30 some million people [17:19] in the country who support the regime [17:21] and are willing to lay down their lives. [17:23] And in the there was an event last week [17:25] that they made a big deal out of in the [17:27] Iranian media of this massive street [17:30] protest in favor of the regime and that [17:31] this was happening all over the country. [17:33] this massive show of support and I [17:36] noticed it at the time but I didn't [17:38] follow up on it [17:41] that the Iranian state reports [17:44] of and this is one of them the Tehran [17:46] times straight truth it's like pravda [17:49] right the reports of this demonstration [17:52] all said that there were 313,000 [17:56] people present now that is a very [17:59] strange number because even if you're [18:01] doing like aerial photographs And you're [18:03] counting crowds. How do you count [18:05] massive crowds? They're first of all [18:07] claiming that there's hundreds of [18:08] thousands of people at a protest in Tan. [18:09] I mean, that's like a that's such a huge [18:11] number. But they claimed a very specific [18:14] number and it was in all the different [18:16] media reports. 313,000. [18:18] Reuters even picked it up. [18:21] 313,000. [18:23] I was like, what what is 313,000? [18:26] So, I looked it up and it turns out that [18:29] the number 313 [18:32] actually has great significance. Now, [18:35] before I tell you what the significance [18:36] is, uh I would be uh remiss if I didn't [18:39] uh take care of some business here. And [18:42] that is the uh the trip to Israel, which [18:44] I've been talking about for a while. I [18:46] don't want you to miss this. Israel [18:48] behind the headlines tour uh hosted by [18:51] myself and Dr. David Worms. eight days [18:54] of uh a unique unique trip to Israel. [18:57] Dr. Worms is one of the leading Middle [18:59] East experts in the world. S served in [19:01] multiple white houses, National Security [19:02] Council, State Department, all the rest. [19:04] He's been around the block. And he'll be [19:06] joining us for the entire eight days. [19:08] And we're going to be visiting strategic [19:10] locations, having briefings from [19:12] high-ranking people in the Israeli [19:13] military. We're going to be meeting with [19:14] Israeli government officials. We will be [19:17] meeting with community leaders and [19:19] different communities in Israel, the [19:20] Drews community up north, the Christian [19:22] community, others. We're going to be [19:24] meeting with leading journalists in [19:26] Israel. It's going to be fascinating. 8 [19:27] days in Israel, luxury five-star hotels. [19:30] Uh it's going to be a small trip under [19:32] 20 people. So, reserve your spot. People [19:34] are already booking, so you want to go [19:36] to the link in the description of this [19:37] video if this is for you. March 7th [19:40] through 14th. Now, let's get back to [19:42] this uh 313,000 thing. So this is really [19:46] interesting and it shows you the mindset [19:49] of the regime right now. So Iranian [19:52] state media says 313 people turned up, [19:55] right? They didn't say 300,000, [19:58] right? They said 313,000. They didn't [20:01] even say half a million. 313,000. [20:04] So if you're not steeped in Shiite [20:06] theology, you wouldn't necessarily know [20:08] what this means. [20:10] And of course, John Fada, which is the [20:12] name of the event, John Fada literally [20:14] means one who sacrifices his life. So [20:17] the rally was branded as a gathering of [20:19] people ready to die for the Islamic [20:22] Republic. Now the number 313 goes back [20:25] to the year 624 in the life of Muhammad [20:29] and the battle of Badr, the prophet [20:32] Muhammad's first major victory. [20:35] Tradition says that he had 313 men [20:39] against an army of around a thousand. [20:42] And ever since the people of Badr, that [20:44] phrase means a small devoted force that [20:48] can win against the odds with God with [20:52] Allah on its side. And Islamic tradition [20:55] repeats this number elsewhere. There's [20:57] the faith. There's the faithful soldiers [21:00] who followed King Saul against Goliath [21:02] in their telling of that biblical story [21:04] which was 313. But the most important [21:07] meaning of 313 is about the future. [21:10] 12ver Shiite Muslims, that's the [21:13] official faith of the Islamic Republic. [21:15] They believe that the 12th Imam, the [21:17] Mai, who's been in hiding for over a [21:19] thousand years, when he returns, [21:23] uh, that's going to bring justice to the [21:25] world. And according to Shiite [21:27] tradition, he will appear when 313 [21:31] loyal companions gather around him. [21:34] They'll be the commanders of his army. [21:36] So the Islamic Republic has leaned on [21:38] this imagery for a for decades. It it [21:41] shows up in besiege and revolutionary [21:43] guard culture and 313 has been used in [21:47] the names of allied militias in Syria [21:49] and Iraq, meaning allied with Iran. So [21:53] when Iranian state media announces [21:55] 313,000 [21:57] self-sacrificers, [21:59] the message is is uh that this isn't [22:01] just a crowd. This is the Madi's army. [22:04] It's a thousand times 313 ready for the [22:08] end times battle against the more mighty [22:11] power that we will prevail against. [22:15] Okay. Now, what was the real turnout at [22:18] this protest? Who cares? I have no idea. [22:21] But I'm just saying that this this was [22:23] messaging to the people to the, you [22:26] know, to these Shiite masses that you're [22:28] part of the 313,000 that that, you know, [22:31] this this message of resilience and of [22:34] beating the odds and of standing up to [22:37] the, you know, to the Goliath, standing [22:40] up to the mighty, more powerful force [22:42] like like Muhammad [22:45] in that uh in that first battle in 624. [22:48] That's what the 313 is about. So you see [22:50] the mindset of the regime is a mindset [22:52] of digging in, of resilience, but also [22:55] on the diplomatic level of stringing [22:58] things along, giving Trump an impression [23:00] that a deal can be made and that they're [23:01] reasonable people. And I don't think [23:05] Trump is going to fall for it in the way [23:06] he has. I think he's been inching along. [23:09] He's been inching along and being more [23:11] and more skeptical of them. But I still [23:13] think that in his heart of hearts, he [23:14] believes that there is a capitulation [23:17] point that does not involve the end of [23:20] the regime. And that's the mistake. No [23:23] matter how far along he is and no matter [23:25] how how much he's going to resist the [23:28] urge, these negotiations are not serving [23:31] the American interest. the only way to [23:33] achieve the American goals here in in uh [23:36] in this whole issue in this whole thing [23:37] with no nuclear weapons, no proxies, no [23:40] ballistic opening the straits of Hormuz [23:42] indefinitely. There's only one way to [23:44] get there and that is bringing down the [23:45] regime and we'll see. We'll see what [23:47] happens next. We'll be watching this [23:48] closely. As always, thanks for watching. [23:51] Make sure you're subscribed to this [23:52] channel. Make sure you're subscribed to [23:54] the Israel 365 news channel. And uh [23:57] yeah, see you on the next one.
