[0:00] and when the president says he has patience so do they they'll wait this out they don't care
[0:05] about paying for their people they don't care about their people at all you don't think that
[0:09] after going through months of this having to go after iran over and over again when
[0:15] it was billed as maybe just a few weeks hasn't depleted our munitions and that china isn't
[0:20] looking at taiwan trey i don't get it uh we we hear there's friendly negotiations going on but
[0:25] is iran's iran saying they're not talking at all uh that they'll just keep a ceasefire going as
[0:31] long as we don't hit them and trey you know if the iranians are serious about you know let's make
[0:36] a deal why would the iran state linked media put out that very disturbing propaganda video about
[0:44] the president and his family yesterday but mr president stop telling everybody what you're
[0:49] going to do and just do it trump's fast losing the support of his favorite network it appears that
[0:53] the iran war is a bridge too far even for fox news take a look and then tell the american people all
[1:00] of us who want to be supportive what is our objective what's the strategy and then go execute
[1:06] we're talking about a chinese company that is reportedly going to provide iran with at least 400
[1:11] shoulder-fired missiles over land and these are missiles man pads that are used to shoot down
[1:17] helicopters and jets the same type of missile that shot down that u.s plane earlier this year
[1:23] over southwestern iran i just think the the you hit us we hit you is just the worst scenario
[1:30] because what do we have 96 days to the midterms iran's goal they know our political process is for
[1:36] donald trump's party to pay a political price and ned you know when you're looking at these polls
[1:40] that came out today there's a huge dissatisfaction with the war in iran i mean it is overwhelmingly
[1:47] considered a negative drag on the u.s economy and just not worth it the guardian have reviewed the
[1:52] weeks of fox news coverage in their latest article and found that prominent hosts analysts and military
[1:58] commentators on the network have increasingly expressed concern confusion and frustration
[2:04] over trump's iran war strategy take the likes of laura ingram who said that if iran can still
[2:09] threaten trump's aircraft its military was not quote decimated as they had described keith kellogg
[2:16] said that bombing alone is not going to finish the job and brit hume said that trump promised to avoid
[2:22] endless wars and is now stuck in one this war has become so sufficiently indefensible that the same
[2:28] network who are willing to impeach barack obama over a tan suit are joining ranks with other networks
[2:34] calling to attention that it's just been one big failure going on to ask what have the explosions
[2:39] accomplished if nothing at all and if iran's military has truly been destroyed as pete higseth and
[2:45] trump have claimed numerous times why does it remain capable of threatening americans is there an
[2:50] end to the iran conflict in sight or more wishful thinking let's bring back fox news chief foreign
[2:55] correspondent trey yankst in tel aviv so trade that's the question does this feel different
[3:00] there in the region this time around this attempted peace yes shannon good morning this has really turned
[3:06] into a cycle for the trump administration they strike iran the iranians target gulf infrastructure
[3:11] and then they get close to an agreement the question now is whether or not the iranians are serious
[3:16] about making a deal and if they have the officials who are actually talking to the president's team
[3:21] who can enforce such an agreement all right trey um as we move forward is there a deadline at this
[3:31] point it doesn't appear that there is a deadline but remember the backdrop here there is an ongoing
[3:35] u.s naval blockade of iranian ports and it's costing the iranians hundreds of millions of dollars
[3:40] each and every day their crude oil exports are down domestic exports down as well and so the clock
[3:46] is ticking for the iranian regime and they will have to make a decision whether or not they want
[3:51] to sign a deal with the trump administration or return to war well uh everything seems to be still
[3:57] on the table we know there have been concerns from the saudis and other in the region who are
[4:01] impacted based on what we decide to do there as well trey you always have us covered you and your
[4:05] team thank you very much you see trump wants americans to believe two incompatible stories at this
[4:11] very moment which is why you'll see him getting even more frustrated when he's asked questions
[4:15] by the press the first story is that iran has already been overwhelmingly defeated the second
[4:20] story is that the united states must continue to spend billions of dollars and risk american lives
[4:25] because iran remains an urgent and powerful threat you see how both of these stories cannot
[4:31] be true in the way that trump presents them a war that every person who was paying attention
[4:36] knew could not be won and that would only damage the united states and i told him that
[4:41] repeatedly before he did it and it wasn't from my perspective just a mistake it was like the end
[4:47] of an entire moment in world history where the united states you know has enough power to influence
[4:52] events that's all done i think because of this and i think it's going to dramatically affect the
[4:58] standard of living in the united states and in western europe which i care about i think it's
[5:02] the most disastrous decision any american president has made in my lifetime and nothing comes close because
[5:08] if iran has been destroyed to the level that they have claimed why is the war still going on to this
[5:13] magnitude if iran remains capable of threatening american troops ships and even presidential aircraft
[5:20] which has been announced why did trump declare victory so many times and the same network that trump's
[5:26] most committed supporters often receive their daily updates of the war from they're the ones asking
[5:33] whether trump understands the mission and whether the military has actually achieved anything since
[5:39] it tore up obama's deal and went and waged this war and that is how support begins to bleed right
[5:45] not through a dramatic overnight collapse as we've all witnessed trump's support does not dwindle easily but
[5:51] when fox are the ones asking why anyone should believe the latest promise coming from the president when
[5:56] all previous promises failed that's damning for the president trump trump canceled strike on iran
[6:03] says that a deal is imminent i think by my count dr paul this is about 41 times that he has said that
[6:09] we're talking with iran a deal is imminent it's just around the corner and so claims that this deal
[6:15] is imminent are also about as phony as his claims that iran asked him just to not bomb them so the
[6:21] problem is he's got a huge credibility gap dr paul people just don't believe him anymore but some of
[6:26] so many of these promises right now aren't fulfilled so they it builds animosity because
[6:33] if you're if you're spreading lies and in you and those that all of a sudden we do this and we put on
[6:39] a tariff here and and we oh you know if we bomb this country everything will be okay it just look at
[6:47] it the people now have a very very healthy skepticism about what the government's doing especially
[6:55] believing what the government tells us yeah and it's something you won't be able to overcome easily
[7:00] especially with the midterms on the horizon i mean we are seeing the repercussions of this war bleed into
[7:05] every single poll as well as being held on the ground and even in areas that were once republican
[7:11] guarantees like say texas this war as well as unwavering support to the president has been voiced
[7:17] as a main reason that loyal republicans have started to question their support with james talarico being
[7:22] announced recently as leading in several polls in the state that hasn't elected a democrat statewide
[7:26] since what the 90s and you are all three women who have been republicans for most of your voting lives
[7:33] who's voting for james talarico also gave him my money yeah i like him yeah he was a middle school
[7:39] teacher in public school in texas and they started cutting all his funding and he said well if i can't
[7:45] change my school then i'm going to need to change my state and that's so becoming of a leader i want
[7:50] a middle school teacher who's like hey this is broken somebody needs to fix it why not me and i never
[7:56] send money to state people but this year i did i'm like not only i'm going to vote for you i'm going to
[8:00] give you some money i think republicans are having a lot of moments like that where we're saying
[8:05] this is not what i signed up for like give me somebody who's not extremist i don't care what
[8:10] party they are i'm going to vote for whoever is the most common sense and who i think would be the
[8:15] most likely to protect my kids you're never going to vote for a candidate that thinks exactly like
[8:20] you unless you run you need to get on the bus that's driving closest to where you want to end up
[8:26] talarico i find him to be pretty moderate and i think that is telling of what's happening in the
[8:32] state of texas the republicans should be worried so as the goals remain uncertain as the enemy
[8:38] continues retaliating as russia and china are accused of supporting iran indirectly while the president
[8:45] continues to downplay their influence while american military stockpiles are under pressure
[8:50] more and more doubt will be cast on this president when it comes to handling this war
[8:55] and it seems like it's getting to him hey if you want the full story how democracy got here and how we
