US conducting strikes against Iranian assets near the Strait of Hormuz · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: US Central Command just announced they begin a third round
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of strikes against Iran in response to Rani enforces attacking
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a Cyprus flagged containership in the straight of war moves.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Centcom says the US is degrading Iran's ability to attack
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: ships and the strikes are being carried out at the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: direction of the Commander in Chief, Tom am Skill. Right
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: back to you on this. Obviously, this is the perennial
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: issue right now. No matter where we are, we talk
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: about the Texas Senate race, this is gonna make news
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: because we just don't know where this is from one
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: minute to the other. It seems to be reactionary. Sometimes
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Iran hits ships after President Trump gave him an ultimatum,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and now we're hitting Iran. What happens next.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We don't know what happens next. But I will say this,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: there are some that believe that if we take some
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: sort of military action, that that's going to be bad
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: for midterms for Republicans. I actually disagree with that. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: think the fact that we went in the first place,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so there were some that weren't happy about that. But
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: if you are going to go in, I think most
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of those folks think finish the job, get it done,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and these diplomatic talks sixty days and then we extended,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and then we're in a ceasefire, and then we get hit,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and then they're saying crazy things on social media and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: kill Trump in the streets. I think the president needs
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to take action. I think he's doing that, and I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: think the American people will reward him for that, because
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I think the worst thing that can happen is just
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: rinse and repeat for months on end and have no change.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Riley, we were on this show a couple of weeks ago,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Tommy and I and we broke news. We had the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Vice President come on this show, call in from being
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: pulled away from the things that he was involved in,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about this deal, this big plan that was
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: going to give sixty days, this memorandum understanding working towards
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the deal. The entire administration seemed to be locking step.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: This was a good plan and it had teeth. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: here we are a few weeks later, and it feels
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like we're back to a month and a half ago.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It feels like nothing's changed. Where do Americans sit on
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: this so they feel like the administration is losing control?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Do they feel like that we're playing catch up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: You know well, and you do know this. It speaks
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to the instability of the Middle East specifically, I'll agree
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: with Tommy here. I think President Trump is a man
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: of his word. If he says he's going to do something,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you better believe he is going to follow through with it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Now you ask where Americans sit, I'll speak specifically to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: where gen Z sits on this issue. I think there's
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of people who are let's say, recently college
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: graduated or even those still in college, who are kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: of tired of the conversation surrounding the Middle East and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the US involvement, especially those honestly who are conservatives. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: think there are a lot of gen Z conservatives. When
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: they say America first, they mean really America only. Is
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: that because they don't have a great understanding of what
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: US involvement looks like overseas. Probably, I think that's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: large part of it. But in speaking to my generation
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: and how we feel about this topic, I think there's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a level of exhaustion to bed with Kitchen quite frankly,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of where they really are. You know, we see these
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: breaking news all the time of strikes on a run.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I feel like I see that every other day at
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: this point, so they're even speaking for myself. There's a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: level of confusion of where we're actually at.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You know, we're not that far apart in age. Here.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We do have three generations represented here, right gen Z.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Riley talks about gen Z, Well, they grew up with
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the world on terror, right They They came to adulthood
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in a twenty year war. You came to adulthood Gen X, Yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know as that war, as the Islamic radicalism became
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a thing. And so your generation sees a little bit
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: differently and probably has a little bit more patience because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you saw nine to eleven and you saw the you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and maybe not you specifically, but just your generation saw
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the bombings in Bay Root, saw the USS coal and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what radical Zome terrorism can do if you don't take
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the fight to them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: It's a great point. I was in New York on
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: nine to eleven. I wasn't downtown, but I could see
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: it right from about here where I was working in
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the buildings on fire and getting off in a ferry
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: to get back to New Jersey, and knowing that my
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: friends were dying or had died in the World Trade Center,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I do have a different perspective. I think
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Riley makes a great point though, around the numbness and
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: fatigue around this, because I look at oil futures like
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: right now, right, seventy one dollars right a barrel, which
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: is pretty low, right considering it was above one hundred
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: at the beginning of this war gallon of gas three
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: point eighty eight, it was well above four dollars. So
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think at this point, Joey, I think, I think
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the American people they're either number they have patients. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: in the end, until the straight up oar mousa is
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: completely open, this is going to be a problem for
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Republicans in the midterms because the longer this goes on,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: the more Democrats could have the argument that they're the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: anti war party, and therefore they may do better in
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the midterms, and they otherwise would if we didn't have
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: this war happening right now.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Tell me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But I will say to that point, and I agree
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with everybody here on the level of exhaustion we're at,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but I think it's more exhausting to hear that we're
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: having diplomatic talks and diplomatic talks and diplomatic talks and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: then it's like, oh, they've agreed to this, that or whatever.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That's funny baloney. They don't mean anything they say, at
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: least the people that we've been.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Talking, Well, we don't know who we're talking to exactly.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But I think that the fatigue comes when we keep
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: hearing that there's some kind of a ceasefire or there's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: some kind of a negotiation. I think being decisive. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: think that that, to me, is a better path politically
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: than doing the same thing over and over again and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: convincing people that we're getting somewhere diplomatic, but without ground troops.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: How can we be to be tay some Joe, I mean,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: you're the military guy.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot going on right now. The President favors
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: diplomatic solutions and understands that his reputation is he has
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to use the big stick when it's necessary, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: speak softly, carried a big stick. President Trump is to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: speak loudly and carry the big stick. Either way, there
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: has to be consequence, and I think that's what President
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Trump is trying to balance. And it's not easy to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: do with folks whose ideology surpass any convenience. They could want.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You can't just say, hey, just go be rich and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: be peaceful. That doesn't work for them. The big takeaway
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: from here We've turned Tommy into a warhawk and we'll
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: stick to that.
