Latest / INSIGHT TODAY / Trump teases MAJOR meeting with Kim Jong Un
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
- 0:04Speaker 2: And I know Kim Jong un very well, and he's
- 0:07Speaker 2: going to be fine. As long as we have a
- 0:11Speaker 2: smart president, he's going to be fine.
- 0:13Speaker 1: If we have a dumb president, then he's probably not going.
- 0:16Speaker 2: To be so fun.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I will win.
- 0:20Speaker 3: That's President Trump on a potential meeting with North Korean
- 0:23Speaker 3: leader Kim Jong un later this year, after directing the
- 0:26Speaker 3: Pentagon to scale back its joint military exercises with South Korea.
- 0:31Speaker 3: The President met with Kim three times during his first term,
- 0:34Speaker 3: including inside the Demilitarized Zone when he briefly crossed over
- 0:39Speaker 3: into the North Korean side. Meanwhile, President Trump is expected
- 0:43Speaker 3: to welcome Chinese President Jijing Peing to Washington on September
- 0:48Speaker 3: twenty fourth, where the topics they are expected to discuss
- 0:51Speaker 3: include trade and artificial intelligence, among others. Joining me now
- 0:56Speaker 3: is former Pentagon official retired US Navy captain and Brent Sadler, Captain.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Thanks so much for joining us. Really do appreciate your
- 1:04Speaker 3: perspective and thank you for your service to our country.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Let's go first to our ron. The Economic d Day,
- 1:11Speaker 3: as the President refers to it, is going to happen
- 1:14Speaker 3: on Monday. Will this make the difference? What else needs
- 1:16Speaker 3: to happen in order to get those ships flowing. Now
- 1:20Speaker 3: there's a four hundred percent increase in the number of
- 1:22Speaker 3: ships flowing through the strait, But what else needs to happen.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Yeah, So the oil flow through the straight Ohmos is
- 1:29Speaker 2: not near where it was back in February before the conflict,
- 1:32Speaker 2: but it's not going to go back to that. The
- 1:34Speaker 2: oil market's going to change, it's not going to go
- 1:36Speaker 2: back to a pre conflict kind of situation. The key
- 1:40Speaker 2: thing is will the economic pressure and it's going to
- 1:43Speaker 2: have an element I think of kinetic part to this
- 1:45Speaker 2: of actually going and seizing ships on the high seat.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Some of that's already happening, but also going and interrupting
- 1:51Speaker 2: the network of trade and barter in which this regime
- 1:54Speaker 2: in Tearron is living on. So if that pain can
- 1:56Speaker 2: go up high enough to threaten the regime's ability to
- 1:58Speaker 2: maintain control of the peace people, then it'll work. And
- 2:01Speaker 2: it's going to take some time, but it's going to
- 2:03Speaker 2: mean you're going to have a military presence there like
- 2:06Speaker 2: you see today for some time into the future.
- 2:08Speaker 3: But the proxies for the Iranian terrorism that have. I
- 2:12Speaker 3: mean they have been depleted and diminished to a point
- 2:15Speaker 3: where it is very difficult for that funding to go
- 2:18Speaker 3: to the Huthis or Hermas or Hezbolah or you know,
- 2:21Speaker 3: you name it. The Iranians were funding it correct.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean this is where I think the fight
- 2:27Speaker 2: needs to be taken aggressively now, rather than large strikes
- 2:31Speaker 2: in Iran and trying to end this conflict quickly through
- 2:33Speaker 2: force of arms, which is a big order, but going
- 2:36Speaker 2: after these proxies in Iraq, the Houthis and Yemen, keeping
- 2:39Speaker 2: the pressure on Hezbola to disarm and as well as
- 2:43Speaker 2: to finally get Hamas out of Gaza. These are all
- 2:46Speaker 2: things that need to happen, and the pressure needs to
- 2:48Speaker 2: be brought to bear more aggressively there or else the
- 2:51Speaker 2: Iranians will reconstitute this leverage that they've been relying on
- 2:55Speaker 2: in the past. This regime in Tehran, quite frankly, is
- 2:59Speaker 2: in the weakest position that it's been in since nineteen
- 3:02Speaker 2: seventy nine. It's the time to press that advantage.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Let's move over to Asia because one of the strengths
- 3:07Speaker 3: that President Trumps brings to the table is his friendship,
- 3:12Speaker 3: his negotiating his relationship with the president of China but
- 3:17Speaker 3: also a president Kim Jong un. Explain what you see there,
- 3:24Speaker 3: because the relationship team seems to keep the temperature and
- 3:28Speaker 3: the blood pressure down, and that's good for America absolutely.
- 3:32Speaker 2: And I think to President Trump's credit, back when he
- 3:35Speaker 2: first started this outreach to Kim Jong un in his
- 3:37Speaker 2: first term, there were many of the professional and the
- 3:40Speaker 2: so called conventional thought was this would be a failure.
- 3:43Speaker 2: But in fact, we had several years of no missile tests.
- 3:46Speaker 2: We had kind of a daytunt, and that unfortunately is
- 3:49Speaker 2: drifted back to where now you have North Korean troops
- 3:52Speaker 2: actively engaged in combat in Ukraine and weapon transfers munitions
- 3:57Speaker 2: from North Korea to Russia. So I think this outreach
- 4:00Speaker 2: it's not going to be a carbon copy of what
- 4:02Speaker 2: we saw during Trump's first term, but there's some real
- 4:04Speaker 2: issues that could be addressed and perhaps to American advantage,
- 4:08Speaker 2: and that is trying to get the North Koreans to
- 4:09Speaker 2: reconsider sending upwards of fifty thousand troops in laborers to
- 4:13Speaker 2: help the Russian war effort.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Yeah, what the president has to balance and juggle a
- 4:18Speaker 3: long way. Thank goodness, he has the work ethic and
- 4:22Speaker 3: the tenacity and the smarts to be able to do this.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And there's nobody better negotiating on behalf of the United
- 4:27Speaker 3: States of America than President Trump. I do want to
- 4:30Speaker 3: ask you about you or a navy you've served in
- 4:32Speaker 3: the Navy, Let's talk about the USS Lincoln. It's one
- 4:36Speaker 3: of the biggest longest deployments ever, but they are now
- 4:39Speaker 3: finally coming home after more than two hundred and fifty
- 4:41Speaker 3: days at see explain the atmosphere and what's going on
- 4:45Speaker 3: there and how the Navy can supplement what they're doing.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Well.
- 4:51Speaker 2: The carrier of the Lincoln's being replaced by the George
- 4:53Speaker 2: Washington on stations, so the military presence is unchanged, and
- 4:57Speaker 2: I think that's important for the Iranians to take note
- 4:59Speaker 2: of Lincoln, you know, a West Coast based carrier be
- 5:02Speaker 2: heading back home, probably through the South, you know, through
- 5:04Speaker 2: the South China. See another message to China, as tensions
- 5:07Speaker 2: right now are very high there. But I think the
- 5:10Speaker 2: so say, the sailors deserve some seriously well earned port
- 5:15Speaker 2: time in a liberty port, perhaps in Southeast Asia like Thailand.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Always in the top of it is for the sailors.
- 5:21Speaker 2: But uh, there's still work to be done the sailors.
- 5:24Speaker 2: When they're doing the mission, the morale can't be higher.
- 5:27Speaker 2: A lot of hardships can't be looked the other way,
- 5:30Speaker 2: and I think the Navy needs to do a better
- 5:31Speaker 2: job in the future. There was a lot of unexpected
- 5:34Speaker 2: things that happened. The bombing of the fifth Fleet headquarters
- 5:37Speaker 2: in Bahrain. Bahrain did cause a lot of disruptions to
- 5:40Speaker 2: supply chains. I think the Navies learned from that so
- 5:43Speaker 2: they don't have a repeat. But for now, I think
- 5:45Speaker 2: the sailors deserve an epic liberty port.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Yeah. I wonder if those sailors would say, we don't
- 5:52Speaker 3: need to stop in Thailand. I want to get home.
- 5:54Speaker 3: I'man't go see my family, I want to go to
- 5:56Speaker 3: I want to go hang out in San Diego. I
- 5:58Speaker 3: think that's a large part with those people want to do.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Thank you, sir for your service to the United States
- 6:05Speaker 3: of America and to everything that you've done in order
- 6:08Speaker 3: to make America safe. Working at the Pentagon, we're here
- 6:11Speaker 3: with the Heritage Foundation now, but also your service in
- 6:13Speaker 3: the United States Navy. Really do appreciate it. Former Pentagon
