  Speaker 1: Live from the w R Life Back studios, Mark Simone.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, the great columnist Liz Peak who you could read
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: her at the Foxnews dot Com of course at the Hill,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: and mostly check out our website lizpeak dot com. Make
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: sure you follow her on Twitter and all that stuff.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak, How you doing?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I'm here? Can you hear I can hear you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Now, I can hear you. Hey, everybody condemning this Iran
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: deal except one person, says Natoboss hails the Iran deal.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: That worries me even more if he likes it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You know, Mark, I was thinking about this just now
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: because the Wall Street Journal has a particularly damning article
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: out where they quote an awful lot of people have
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a vested interest in this right. So who hates the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Iran deal? Let's start with the Obama people, because they
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: want to tell you that his deal was just as good.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Note to Mark Simone, it was not just as good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And for one thing, we are now confronting an Iranian
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: regime handing them a deal when they are flat on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: their back. Obama never did that. I mean he let
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the regime basically prosper gave him a lot of money,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and I spent yesterday kind of going through all the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: evidence we have, and there's monumental evidence that Iran cheated
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: on their JCPOA, the twenty fifteen Obama deal from the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: day for the first even before it was inked, they
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: were cheating on it. So all right, the Obama people
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we should pay no attention to. All Right, the pro
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Israel crowd is not one hundred percent happy because there
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is every expectation that Israel is going to have to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: step back from its attacks on Lebanon. But I think
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, everyone also recognizes that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: if Hesbela attacks Israel, they will respond. So I really
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't take that very seriously. I don't mean to suggest
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that Israel should not be a partner in this. Of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: course they should be, and they have been, and I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think going forward they know that we will have their
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: back under President Trump. Then there's the pro Iran faction,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and there are some of those people, and I really
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: mean the people who are very invested in the people
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of Iran and who wanted to see regime change, you know, Mark,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, regime change has to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: come in Iran from the people. Every time the United
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: States has stepped in with the possible exception of Venezuela,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and change the top leadership of a country it has
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not fared well. So I think in this case, what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is a possible right spot or bright outlook is that, yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we work with the golf countries to kind of get
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Iran back on its feet, because a completely devastated Iran,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: which is what it is now, is really a source
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of instability, not a source of stability. But increasingly have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: involvements with the Iranian people, the Iranian government, and rating
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: companies that probably that may or may not preclude a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: reversion to the mean, which the mean in Iran is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just NonStop warfare against all of its neighbors that cannot
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: be tolerated. It cannot be tolerated that they control the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. I think Trump knows that he won't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: allow that. But meanwhile, the world needs oil, and I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: think he really wants this to happen so that the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: strait is opened and the oil supply resumes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He also pointed out it's not fair to say
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: there's been no regime change. In the first day, he
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: killed the whole leadership, all fourteen people. There was a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: second group of leaders. He then killed them. We're on
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the third group. So that is a little regime change,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree with you one hundred percent. And you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: people were saying, oh my gosh, he's lauding the current group. Well,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the current group could be like Delsi Rodriguez. I don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: know anything about them really, but where they figure. You
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know what, A I want to survive personally, I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: really want to get killed by the United States and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Israel and b You know. The way to do that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is to possibly work with them. And by the way,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if it helps our country, it helps the people, my
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: future is more secure. I mean, there is a scenario
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: here where the people that Trump is now saying are pragmatic,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Maybe they are in survival mode and they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know what they have to do to survive. So I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: agree with you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And this is not the end of this. This
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: is not the final chapter. This is a middle right. Yeah, Hey,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I haven't talked to you since Elon Musk became a trillionaire.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Why do they get so mad at him on the left?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Do they believe that he took the money from somebody else?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Why are they so ad that's the thing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's a zero sum group, right, must makes a dollar,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: somebody else loses a dollar, which actually goes to the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: fact that they fundamentally don't understand capitalism and the way
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it works. Elon Musk has created wealth. He has created
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: companies out of nothing that all of a sudden become
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: worth a great deal of money. That doesn't take away
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: anything from the Hispanic day laborer who can't buy who's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: having a hard time buying bread and coffee right now, right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is no connection there. What really galls me.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is out there saying, oh, he's a trillionaire
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars with solve homelessness in America. No,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: when we have a federal budget of seven trillion dollars.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: If Elon Musk is corrupt because he's got one trillion,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: how about the federal government having seven trillion and doing
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: very little that most Americans think is really terrific, including
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not solving homelessness. So I think all this chatter on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the level, it's sort of politics of envy. They know
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that they can kind of gin up a lot of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: again envy amongst people who also would like to have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a trillion dollars. They don't understand how Must did it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Must did it because he created these marvelous companies. Not
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: only by the way. They used to love Elon Musk
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because he put Evs on the map, something that the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: left really really wanted to happen. But then they began
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to hate him because he didn't use union labor, which
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: kind of shows you that yin and yang of leftist priorities.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But then he also created Neuralink, which gives hope to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: people who are paralyzed that they may somehow have productive
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: lives going forward. Obviously starlink is it dominates global satellite
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: communications and has been very influential in Ukraine surviving the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: attack from Russia and other geopolitical events also. And then
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of course SpaceX is just an amazing thing. I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he conceptualized the simple rocket concept and made it a reality,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't easy with three failures and finally, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: down to survival mode they got the fourth one in
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the sky. So I give him just enormous credit. And yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he's made a lot of money. Good for him, that's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: what's supposed to happen in America. And frankly, Mark thank God,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he came to America and he's not still in South Africa.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Aren't we happy he's here? Yes?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's well said. We got this crazy mom
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Donnie as mayor, and now we see running for assembly
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: legislat we show all these crazy, kooky mom Donnie types,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: he's endorsing them. What are we going to do about
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: this whole new crop of nuts that we got running.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a good question. I don't think their appeal
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: goes much beyond really progressive blue cities like New York
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and LA. Thankfully they have had, you know, primaries across
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the country where the progressive candidate lost out. But here
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in New York, Mom Donnie really astonishingly is lending his
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: weight and popularity to electing someone that honestly really should
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not be electable at all. I do love the fact
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that these people, including this one, comes out of nowhere
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and oh gosh, it turns out that really they've said hateful, racist,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: anti American things up until like two years ago on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: social media. But then they apologize and they take down
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: their social media sites, and we're supposed to think what
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that they didn't mean it, that that was fake. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: now this is a real person running for office. It's preposterous.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So look, time will eventually get rid of these people,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I believe, because they're not going to really produce anything
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of value for voters. What doesn't shock me a little
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: bit is the Democratic establishment. The person this radical leftist
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is running against is the share of the Hispanic caucus.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: How can that be a really popular thing with the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: voters in New York? I can't imagine. Esbiot is the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: four term congressman at risk here and again not believes
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he shared the Hispanic caucus. He's a very popular guy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in Congress. So where is where Chuck Schumer and Hakim
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Jeffries and all these people? Why aren't they weighing in?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Because they're scared to death? I mean, how pathetic is that?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The Democrats? We you know, Republicans have some problems inner
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: party warfare going on. Boy, the Democrats are really big
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: time fighting each other, and we're going to see it
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: on steroids as we approach not just the midterms but
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight.
• 9:37
