Iranian hardliners DISMISS new threat of US sanctions · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We begin this Sunday morning with the Iran conflict entering
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a new phase, as Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: United States will be unveiling the toughest economic sanctions in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: history on Tehran tomorrow, which President Trump has labeled Economic
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: d Day. Iranian hardliners dismissed the threat of new sanctions,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: saying the shift in strategy shows that the US failed
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: at its military goals, adding that any new threats would
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: be met with a devastating response. The President of Iran, though,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is calling for an end to the war, while also
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: acknowledging the financial toll.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It has taken.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: This as oil prices continue on the upswing from the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: beginning of the month, with US crewed closing above eighty
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: seven dollars per barrel on Friday. Here's President Trump on Friday.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: They have no money, they have no maybe, they have
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: no air force.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: They are not paying their soldiers, they're not paying their police.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: We have three hundred and fifty percent inflation. So we're
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: just gonna sort of see what happens. And we have
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: total control, as you know, of the border. We have
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: total control. If you look at the blockade, we have
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: total control of that entire region having to do with
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the straight of hormones, and that means well into it
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the land areas. So they would love to make a deal,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: but they're not ready to make the right deal in
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: my opinion.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, trade talks between the United States and Canada collapsed
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: late Friday night, leaving Washington to impose fifty percent tariffs
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on roughly twenty eight billion dollars in Canadian imports. Ottawa
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: said in response it will match the tariff's dollar for
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: dollar beginning September eighth. This comes as the national debt
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: crossed forty trillion dollars for the first time in history
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. As the debt has more than doubled in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the past decade, in part due to a seven trillion
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: dollar new spending under the Biden administration, the Congressional Budget
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Office estimates the national debt will rise to sixty four
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars by the end of twenty thirty six. Joining
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: me now on the agenda ahead when Congress returns next
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: month is Senate Majority Whip Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, Senator,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. I do appreciate.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I want to start with Iran because there has been
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a four hundred percent increase in number of ships moving
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: through the strait of our moves. You're close to the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: President and we're traveling with him in South Carolina as
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he was out there helping a campaign for his pick
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for the Senate there in South Carolina. But what do
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you think is going to happen, What will these economic
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: sanctions look like, and what do you think the effect
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: will be on Iran?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Well, the President is always focused on American safety and
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: American affordability, and in terms of Iran, we have to
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: make sure they never get a nuclear weapon.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's the way that we keep ourselves safe.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: And then in terms of affordability, once the straits are
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: completely open, with America right now producing more oil than
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: any place else in the world, prices will not just
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: come down, they will stay down long time. And that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the contrast with the Democrats. You know, they love five
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: dollars a gallon gasoline because they wanted to force people
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: into electric vehicles. So what we see now is in
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Iranian military that is its weakest ever. Their leadership has
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: been wiped out, their economy is in shambles, and they're
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: still dangerous. So the President's right to focus on it,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and now he's going even further economically, And as you said,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: tomorrow is d day for.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: The economy in Iran.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So in addition to the economic sanctions, the way to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: have already been in place, how much worse could it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: possibly be for the ninety million people of Iran. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: just don't understand why we keep saying, oh, we're going
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to impose more sanctions, Like why not put everything out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: there and then just say that's it? Like, how come
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: there's so much more in our quiver? How many quivers
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: do we have to do this? What is going to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: be new about tomorrow?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Well we'll see what the Secretary of Treasury has to
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: say about that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But it does seem to me that the suffering that's.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Going on in Iran right now, the maximum sanctions being applied,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: are the things that are going to make Iran finally
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: say you're right, we were wrong. No nuclear weapon, straight's open.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Let's get back to probably trying to get some sort
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of a life to the future.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I hope you're right. Help the President's right on this one.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Talk to me about Canada, Senator. We trade an awful
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lot with Canada. Twenty eight billion dollars is I heard
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: as secretary of the Ambassador Greer Jamison Greer, or US
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Trade representative is also an ambassador, talk about this, but
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the problems are really coming out of China and out
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of Canada, our next door neighbor.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Well, you're absolutely like the President has been very consistent
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: and he's saying, we're not going to let people take
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: it advantage of us. We're going to protect American jobs
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: and we're going to bring more jobs back to our country.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: So I was with the President on air Force one
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: when Canada walked away from the table and we got
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the call from the secretary who is talking the President
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: about this. Look, we've been a long term trading partner.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: President Trump put new tariffs in effect. Canada has now
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: said they're going to do that come September eighth.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That may or may not be.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: This is a time when it would be in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: best interest of Canada.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They'd be wise for.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Them to come back to the table, have the discussions
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: and make sure that we move forward because we need
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: to continue trade with Canada.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: But the President is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Very consistent, We're going to make sure to protect our
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: workers and bring jobs back to America.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And Senator, I also got to quickly ask you about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the craziness, the crazy town that is today's Democratic partner
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: party with the Socialists and I think the communists that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: are over there. What in the world is going on
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with the Democrats these days.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Well, they have gone as far to the left as
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: you can possibly imagine. Republicans are focused on making America
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: safer and more affordable. And look who's winning these primaries now.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: It takes away all of those things. These Democrats who are.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Winning, And they did it in.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Michigan, they did it in Minnesota, they did it now
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: in Florida.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: They want to make life worse for the American people.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: They're talking about opening up the prisons, they're talking about
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: making it opening up the borders. They want to shut
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: down the military. They want to shut down the police.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: They want to shut down immigrations and customs enforcement. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: want to release criminals in our communities. It seems to
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: me like they're in an anti American hate group and
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: they have this manifesto and when you read through it,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: this seems to be destined to destroy America. They want
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to take private property, take businesses. They're radical, extreme, dangerous, scary.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: When they say they're going to do the things they
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: want to do. I believe them, which is why I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: believe any vote for any Democrat just enables this. The
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Democrats in the Senate say it's the path to the future,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: it's the future of their party. It cannot be the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: future for our country, Jason. The American people want better
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: than that. They want to have a safe communities to
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: wish to live. They want to have things that are affordable,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and we're not seeing that with these Democrats who want
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to undo what we've done with our legislation. They want
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: to put taxes back on tips, on Social Security.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And on overtime.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: What do they want to use the money for to
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: pay for health care for illegal immigrants?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Their candidate in Michigan, what did he say?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: He said he wants to change the Second Amendment, get
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: rid of the idea of protecting our right to bear arms.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: They want it to be our right for health care.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: And that's the big difference right now.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Last question here. Part of winning the midterms is getting
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the base excited. When you don't pass the Save America Act,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: when there's forty trillion dollars in debt, when there's four
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: dollars a gallon gasoline, and we're involved and engaged in Iran.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: What do you say to the base to say, you've
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: got to keep us in power or it's going to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: get even worse.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Well, the President addressed that in South Carolina. We were
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: there with Darlene Graham, who's a wonderful candidate.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: The runoff is this Tuesday.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: In terms of the Save America Act, the President and
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I talked about it as well. I am one hundred
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: percent with the President on the Save America Act. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: need to make sure that you have to be an
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: American citizen to register to vote.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You have to be showing a photo ID in order
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to vote.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: The reason it's passed hasn't passed so far is every
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Democrat votes against it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Every Republican has voted for it, and why haven't the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Democratic word for it?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Every Republican that the Senate has voted for of.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The two components that I mentioned.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: And the reason the Democrats don't want it is they've
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: let ten million illegal immigrants into this country. The Democrats
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: want to make it easier for them to vote, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: these radicals that are being now been nominated, they want
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to make them citizens and vote. That's why we need
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to elect more Republicans. We need more Republicans elected this year.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: In November, every Republican needs to get out and vote
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: because we know what the Democrats will do to the party.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: What they're doing with their party and what they would
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: do to the country is scary. It was bad, it
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: would be we would be less safe, we would have
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: less money in our pockets, and common sense Americans understand
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: overwhelmingly and support the Save America Act.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And know that, Centator, with the debt we have.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: The government is too big. It spends too much. We're
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: not taxed too little, we spend too much.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the tax cuts have been good, but you got
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to cut spending too, and that has not happened. Senator
• 9:46
