Watters: This is going to get agonizing…

[0:05] I'M GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT [0:07] THE NEXT WEEK. [0:08] FOX NEWS ALERT. [0:10] THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HAS JUST [0:12] GIVEN THE NAVY SHOOT TO KILL [0:13] ORDERS. [0:14] ANY BOAT LAYING MINES IS SUBJECT [0:16] TO DESTRUCTION AND THERE IS TO [0:18] BE NO HESITATION. [0:19] A U.S. OFFICIAL TELLS AXIOS [0:21] THAT THE IRANIAN GUARD WAS JUST [0:23] CAUGHT LAYING MINES IN THE [0:24] STRAIGHT. [0:25] ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE, WE KNOW [0:27] HOW MANY THEY DROPPED AND WHERE [0:29] THEY DROPPED THEM. [0:30] SO THE PRESIDENT IS TRIPLEING [0:32] THE MINE HUNTING OPERATION. [0:34] THE FLEET IS COMING EQUIPPED [0:36] WITH SPECIAL MINE HUNTING [0:38] CHOPPERS, UNDERSEE DRONES AND [0:40] SURVEILLANCE AIRCRAFT AND [0:42] DESTROYERS. [0:43] 84 HUNGRY SAILORS ON EACH [0:45] VESSEL. [0:46] THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A [0:48] HICCUP ABOARD THE CHIEF AFTER [0:50] ONE OF THE SAILORS WAS SCRATCHED [0:52] BY A MONKEY DURING A STOP IN [0:54] THAILAND. [0:55] HE WAS ON A BEACH AND A MAKAKA [0:57] MONKEY DREW BLOOD. [0:58] ONE SOURCE SAYS NORMALLY YOU [1:00] WORRY THAT SAILORS ASSHORE WOULD [1:02] BEGINNING FROM SOME OTHER [1:04] ACTIVITY, NOT FROM A MONKEY. [1:05] THAT SAILORS RECEIVING MEDICAL [1:07] CARE IN JAPAN AND THE NAVY [1:09] SAYS THE MISSION IS FULL SPEED [1:10] AHEAD. [1:11] THE LESSON? [1:12] DON'T FEED THE MONKEYS. [1:13] ALSO A FLEET OF LITTORAL SHIPS [1:15] ARE SPEEDING TO THE GULF. [1:16] THE TWO SHIPS ARE SPOTTED [1:17] SLICING THROUGH THE STRAIGHT OF [1:18] MALACCA. [1:19] THE PRESIDENT SAYS THE [1:21] BLOCKADE IS ONLY GOING TO GET [1:22] MORE AGONIZING. [1:23] WE HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE [1:26] STRAIGHT AND THE FACT THAT IT [1:28] SLOWS, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD [1:29] HAVE OPENED IT UP THREE DAYS AGO. [1:30] THEY CAME TO US AND THEY SAID [1:32] WE WILL AGREE TO OPEN THE [1:33] STRAIGHT. [1:34] AND ALL MY PEOPLE ARE HAPPY. [1:35] EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY EXCEPT ME. [1:36] I SAID, WAIT A MINUTE. [1:37] IF WE OPEN THE STRAIGHT, THAT [1:38] MEANS THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE [1:39] $500 MILLION A DAY. [1:40] I DON'T WANT THEM TO MAKE $500 [1:41] MILLION A DAY UNTIL THEY SETTLE [1:42] THIS THING. [1:43] SO I'M THE ONE THAT KEPT IT [1:44] CLOSED. [1:45] WE HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF IT. [1:47] AND IT WILL OPEN WHEN THEY MAKE [1:49] A DEAL OR SOMETHING ELSE [1:50] HAPPENS THAT'S VERY POSITIVE. [1:51] ACCORDING TO AN INSIDER, THE [1:53] IRANIANS ARE GOING CRAZY OVER [1:55] THE BLOCKADE. [1:56] CENTRAL COMMAND SAYS 33 SHIPS [1:58] HAVE BEEN TURNED AROUND AND IT [2:00] IS EXPANDING. [2:01] OVERNIGHT, U.S. FORCES CARRIED [2:03] OUT ANOTHER MARITIM SEIZURE OF [2:05] AN IRANIAN SHADOW TANKER. [2:07] THE MAJESTIC X. [2:09] SHE WAS LOADED UP WITH THE [2:11] 2 MILLION BARRELS OF IRANIAN [2:13] CRUDE AND OUR MARINES BORDERED [2:15] HER IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. [2:17] THE GAY IYATOLLA JUST LOST 180 [2:19] MILL. [2:20] THAT PROBABLY COULD HAVE BOUGHT [2:22] HIM A NEW PAIR OF LIPS. [2:23] MORE ON THAT LATER. [2:24] RIGHT NOW WE'RE WATCHING NINE [2:26] IRANIAN SHIPS LOADED UP WITH [2:28] CRUDE NEAR A PORT IN PAKISTAN. [2:30] IF THEY CAN'T SAIL, THEY CAN'T [2:32] SELL. [2:34] EVERY STORY SAYS, OH, TRUMP IS [2:36] UNDER TIME PRESSURE. [2:37] NO, NO. [2:38] YOU KNOW WHO IS UNDER TIME [2:39] PRESSURE? [2:40] THEY ARE. [2:41] THEY ARE. [2:42] THEY ARE. [2:43] THEY ARE. [2:44] THEY ARE. [2:45] THEY ARE. [2:46] THEY ARE. [2:47] THEIR WHOLE OIL INFRASTRUCTURE IS [2:48] GOING TO EXPLODE. [2:49] YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. [2:50] BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PLACE TO [2:51] STORE IT. [2:52] AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PLACE [2:53] TO STORE IT, IF THEY HAVE TO [2:55] STOP IT, SOMETHING HAPPENS [2:57] UNDERGROUND THAT ESSENTIALLY [2:59] RENDERS IT IN VERY POOR SHAPE [3:00] AND YOU NEVER RECOVER FULLY. [3:01] THEY ARE. [3:02] THEY ARE. [3:03] THEY ARE. [3:04] THEY ARE. [3:05] THEY ARE. [3:06] CNN REPORTING THE MILITARY IS [3:07] DEVELOPING NEW PLANS TO TARGET [3:09] IRAN'S CAPABILITY IN THE STRAIGHT [3:10] IF THE CEASE-FIRE FALLS APART. [3:12] THERE ARE SEVERAL SETS OF [3:13] TARGETS UNDER CONSIDERATION. [3:14] THE MOSQUITO FLEET, MINE LAYING [3:16] VESSELS AND OTHER ASYMMETRIC [3:17] ASSETS ON THE COAST. [3:18] THE NEW PLANS CALL FOR A MUCH [3:20] MORE STRATEGIC BOMBING CAMPAIGN [3:21] ALONG THE SHORELINE. [3:22] WE COULD ALSO HIT DUAL USE AND [3:24] ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TARGETS. [3:25] WE COULD ALSO HIT DUAL USE AND [3:28] ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TARGETS. [3:29] TARGET INDIVIDUAL MILITARY [3:30] LEADERS AND OTHER, QUOTE, [3:32] OBSTRUCTIONISTS WITHIN THE [3:33] REGIME WHO ARE UNDERMINING [3:34] NEGOTIATIONS. [3:35] THAT INCLUDES SIDI VAHIDI, THE [3:37] HEAD OF THE GUARD. [3:38] ADDITIONAL U.S. STRIKES WOULD [3:40] ALSO TARGET IRAN'S REMAINING [3:42] MILITARY CAPABILITIES INCLUDING [3:43] MISSILES AND PRODUCTION [3:44] THREE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, PLUS [3:46] SEVEN SHIPS IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. [3:48] THE U.S. NAVY CURRENTLY HAS 19 [3:51] SHIPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, [3:53] INCLUDING THREE AIRCRAFT [3:54] CARRIERS, PLUS SEVEN SHIPS IN [3:57] THE INDIAN OCEAN. [3:58] THE U.S.S. GERALD FORT IS [4:00] ANCHORED IN THE RED SEA, THE [4:02] LINCOLN IN THE ARABIAN SEA, AND [4:04] NOW THE U.S.S. H.W. BUSH, FOR [4:07] THE FIRST TIME, NOW INVOLVED IN [4:09] EPIC FURY. [4:10] THE NIMITS CLASS CARRIER STRIKE [4:13] GROUP WAS SEEN SAILING IN THE [4:15] SOUTH PACIFIC, CLOSING IN ON [4:17] THE PHILIPPINES. [4:18] THE 11th MARINE EXPEDITIONARY [4:20] UNIT ON BOARD SHARPENING THEIR [4:21] WEAPONS. [4:22] THE PRESIDENT SAYS THE STRAIGHT [4:24] SEALED UP TIGHT UNTIL IRAN [4:26] DECIDES TO COME TO A DEAL. [4:28] THERE'S JUST ONE, HOW SHOULD WE [4:30] DESCRIBE IT, CHALLENGE. [4:31] THEY KNOW WHO THE LEADER IS IN [4:33] THIS COUNTRY. [4:34] WE DON'T KNOW WHO THE LEADER IS [4:36] IN IRAN. [4:38] BECAUSE REMEMBER REGIME CHANGE. [4:40] KOMEIN IS GONE. [4:41] HE'S GONE TO GREENER PASTURES. [4:43] HE'S GONE AND ALL OF HIS TEAM IS [4:45] GONE. [4:46] THEN A SECOND GROUP CAME IN. [4:47] THEY'RE ALL GONE. [4:48] NOW YOU HAVE THE THIRD GROUP. [4:51] THEY'RE A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT [4:52] BEING GONE TOO. [4:53] SOURCES TELL THE [4:54] NEW YORK TIMES THAT THE GAY [4:55] IYATOLLA IS A BURNED UP [4:56] VEGETABLE. [4:57] HE'S MISSING A LEG. [4:59] HAS HAD THREE SURGERIES ON THE [5:01] OTHER ONE. [5:02] SURGERIES ON HIS HAND AND HIS [5:04] FACE AND LIPS ARE BURNT SEVERELY. [5:06] SO BURNT THAT THE IYATOLLA CAN'T [5:08] TALK AND ACTUALLY NEEDS A [5:10] FACELIFT. [5:11] THERE'S NO WAY OF COMMUNICATING [5:12] WITH THEM ONE-ON-ONE. [5:13] RIGHT NOW, NOT EVEN GUARD [5:14] COMMANDERS HAVE ACCESS. [5:15] THEY'RE WORRIED IF THEY GO TO [5:17] HIS CAVE, MASSAD WILL TRACK IT [5:18] DOWN AND BOMB IT. [5:19] SO CARDBOARDS UNDERGROUND [5:20] SURROUNDED BY A CREW OF [5:22] PERSIAN COSMETIC SURGEONS. [5:23] THE ONLY WAY OF SENDING THEM A [5:25] MESSAGE? [5:26] HAND WRITTEN LETTERS DELIVERED BY [5:28] A GUY ON A CAMEL WHO AVOIDS ROADS. [5:30] SOURCES ALSO SAY THE SUPREME [5:32] LEADER ISN'T IN CHARGE. [5:33] IT'S LIKE HE'S ON A BOARD OF [5:35] DIRECTORS BUT EVERYBODY ELSE ON [5:37] THE BOARD, THEY'RE HOLDING GUNS. [5:38] THE ISRAELIS REPORT THAT IRAN'S [5:40] TOP NEGOTIATOR, THE PARLIAMENT [5:42] LEADER HAS JUST RESIGNED FROM [5:43] NEGOTIATIONS. [5:45] FOX HASN'T VERIFIED THIS BUT [5:47] REMEMBER, HE WAS READY TO FLY [5:49] TO PAKISTAN BEFORE THE GUARD [5:51] PUT A GUN TO PUT A GUN TO [5:53] PUT A GUN TO PUT A GUN TO [5:55] HIS HEAD AND TOLD HIM TO UNPACK [5:58] HIS BAGS. [5:59] TRUMP SAYS IT'S GETTING A LITTLE [6:01] CRAZY OVER THERE. [6:02] THEY HAVE ALL NEW LEADERSHIP [6:03] AND THEY'RE FIGHTING LIKE CATS [6:05] AND DOGS FOR WHO'S GOING TO [6:07] CONTROL BECAUSE WE'VE CREATED A [6:10] REAL MESS FOR THEM. [6:11] THE PRESIDENT GIVING THEM [6:12] SOME TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT AND [6:14] HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE A COME TO [6:15] ALA MOMENT. [6:17] WE HOPE THEY DO BUT POTUS BELIEVES [6:19] THAT TIME IS ON HIS SIDE. [6:21] HOW LONG ARE YOU WILLING TO [6:23] WAIT UNTIL YOU GET A UNIFIED [6:24] RESPONSE? [6:25] WE WERE IN VIETNAM FOR 18 [6:29] YEARS. [6:30] WE WERE IN IRAQ FOR MANY, MANY [6:32] YEARS. [6:33] WE WERE IN FOR ALL THE I DON'T [6:35] LIKE TO SAY WORLD WAR II BECAUSE [6:37] THAT WAS A BIGGIE BUT WE WERE [6:39] FOUR AND A HALF ALMOST FIVE [6:40] YEARS IN WORLD WAR II. [6:41] WE WERE IN THE KOREAN WAR FOR [6:43] SEVEN YEARS. [6:44] I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR SIX [6:46] WEEKS AND THEIR MILITARY IS [6:50] TOTALLY DEFEATED. [6:52] TWO YEARS OF COVID [6:53] LOCKDOWNS. [6:54] THE MEDIA NEVER ASKED WHEN IS [6:55] THIS OVER? [6:56] 20 YEARS OF AFGHANISTAN. [6:57] THE MEDIA NEVER ASKED HOW LONG [6:59] IS THIS THING GOING TO TAKE? [7:00] WHAT DOES JEFF NEED TO DO? [7:01] PULL OVER AND USE THE BATHROOM? [7:02] IT'S BEEN SIX WEEKS. [7:03] POTUS IS GIVING THE IRANIANS A [7:06] FEW DAYS TO GET IT TOGETHER [7:07] WHILE THE BLOCKADE IS APPLYING [7:10] MAXIMUM PRESSURE WITHOUT FIRING [7:11] A SINGLE SHOT. [7:12] AN ECONOMIC SQUEEZE TO BRING [7:14] THEM TO THEIR KNEES. [7:15] MAJORITY OF MILITARY ANALYSTS [7:18] SAY OPERATION EPIC FURY [7:20] FOLLOWED BY THE BLOCKADE HAS [7:22] BEEN A MASTER STROKE. [7:23] SO MSNBC HAS TO GO OUT AND [7:25] FIND NEVER TRUMP GENERALS TO [7:26] TRASH THE MISSION. [7:27] YOU KNOW, WE JUST DON'T [7:29] UNDERSTAND THIS ENEMY. [7:30] WE'RE NOT FIGHTING A GOOD [7:32] SMART FIGHT. [7:33] TACTICALLY WE'RE DECIMATING [7:35] THEM. [7:36] STRATEGICALLY IRAN HAS GOT THE [7:38] UPPER HAND. [7:39] WE HAVE NO ALLIES. [7:40] WE HAVE NOBODY THAT'S, I MEAN, [7:42] OUR STOCK HAS GONE DOWN. [7:44] THE IRANIANS HAVE GONE UP. [7:46] AND THIS IS GOING TO GO ON FOR [7:47] QUITE SOME TIME. [7:48] LIKE I SAID, DAY 54, THE GREATEST [7:50] GEOPOLITICAL DISASTER IN [7:51] AMERICAN HISTORY. [7:52] THE GREATEST DISASTER IN [7:55] AMERICAN HISTORY? [7:56] IRAN HAS THE UPPER HAND? [7:58] MAYBE IF CASUALTIES START [8:01] STACKING UP AND A CARRIER GETS [8:03] SUNK AND WE'RE STILL FIGHTING [8:05] IRAN IN A YEAR, MAYBE THEN, DOES [8:08] THIS GUY WATCH THE PENTAGON [8:10] BRIEFING? [8:11] 159 SHIPS ARE IN THE NAVY. [8:14] YOU KNOW HOW MANY SHIPS ARE AT [8:16] THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, JEFF? [8:17] 159. [8:18] SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU READ THE [8:21] NEW YORK TIMES, THE FAILING [8:23] NEW YORK TIMES, SUBSCRIPTIONS [8:25] ARE WAY DOWN, AS YOU KNOW. [8:26] THAT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T [8:28] BELIEVE THE STUFF ANYMORE. [8:29] IF YOU WATCH CNN, YOU WOULD THINK [8:31] THAT THEY'RE DOING WELL IN THE [8:32] WAR. [8:33] THEY'RE NOT DOING WELL. [8:34] THEY'RE GETTING ABSOLUTELY [8:36] DECIMATED. [8:37] THE PRESS HAS STARTED [8:40] BOOKING JOHN KERRY TO BRAG. [8:41] HE'S THE BEST DIPLOMAT. [8:42] HE SAYS WE SHOULD GO BACK TO [8:44] GIVING THEM FREE MONEY AND JUST [8:45] LET THEM CHEAT. [8:46] PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTED TO TEST [8:49] THE EXTENT OF DIPLOMACY. [8:51] AND HE WAS SUCCESSFUL. [8:53] WE WERE ALL SUCCESSFUL. [8:54] WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP NOW HAS TO [8:56] DO IS FRANKLY GET THEM TO AGAIN [8:58] AGREE TO WHAT THEY ALREADY [9:00] AGREED TO, WHICH SHOULD [9:02] UNDERSCORE THE ABSURDITY OF THE [9:05] SITUATION THAT WE'RE FINDING [9:06] OURSELVES IN. [9:07] I HAVE A FEELING TRUMP IS [9:09] GOING TO GET A BETTER DEAL NOW [9:11] THAT IRAN IS DISARMED AND CAN'T [9:13] TRADE. [9:14] I ENDED THE OBAMA HORROR [9:17] SHOW, THE NUCLEAR TRANSACTION [9:19] THAT HE MADE WAS HARD. [9:21] IT GAVE HIM A ROAD TO THE, YOU [9:23] CALL IT, I MEAN, WHAT THE DEAL [9:25] THAT HE DID, THE IRAN NUCLEAR [9:27] DEAL WAS SO BAD. [9:28] IT GAVE HIM A ROAD TO A NUCLEAR [9:29] WEAPON. [9:30] I WILL TELL YOU, I DEAL WITH [9:31] HIM, YOU CANNOT GIVE IRAN A [9:33] NUCLEAR WEAPON. [9:34] THIS IS ALL ABOUT A NUCLEAR [9:35] WEAPON. [9:36] THEY CANNOT HAVE THE NUCLEAR [9:37] BOMB AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO [9:38] HAVE THE NUCLEAR BOMB. [9:39] THE PRESS NOT WORRIED ABOUT [9:41] IRAN'S NUCLEAR WEAPON. [9:42] THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT OURS. [9:45] WOULD YOU USE A NUCLEAR [9:46] WEAPON? [9:47] YOU POST IT ON TRUTH SOCIAL. [9:48] NO. [9:49] WE DON'T NEED IT. [9:50] WHY DO I NEED IT? [9:52] WHY WOULD A STUPID QUESTION LIKE [9:53] THAT BE ASKED? [9:54] WHY WOULD I USE A NUCLEAR [9:56] WEAPON WHEN WE'VE TOTALLY IN A [9:58] VERY CONVENTIONAL WAY DECIMATED [9:59] THEM WITHOUT IT? [10:00] NO, I WOULDN'T USE IT. [10:02] A NUCLEAR WEAPON SHOULD NEVER [10:04] BE ALLOWED TO BE USED BY [10:05] ANYBODY. [10:06] YOU KNOW WHO ASKED THAT [10:07] QUESTION? [10:08] WE'RE PRETTY SURE THAT WAS [10:10] JIM ACOSTA'S GIRLFRIEND. [10:11] THEY'RE STILL ON THE AIR. [10:13] THEY'RE STILL ON THE AIR. [10:14] GO FIGURE. [10:16] THE PRESIDENT COULD ANNIHILATE [10:18] IRAN WHENEVER HE WANTS. [10:19] IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE. [10:20] HE'S BEEN PATIENT, [10:22] PROPORTIONAL, PRACTICAL. [10:23] NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER BEATEN [10:25] IRAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD. [10:26] AND NO PRESIDENT HAS BEAT THEM [10:28] AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE. [10:29] SO WE'LL SEE IF TRUMP CAN GO [10:31] TWO FOR TWO. [10:32] IF TRUMP CAN NEGOTIATE THEIR [10:34] URANIUM AWAY, THE KEY DEAL, [10:36] IT WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST [10:37] MILITARY FEATS IN AMERICAN [10:38] HISTORY. [10:39] IT WILL BE UP THERE WITH [10:42] JEFFERSON TAKING DOWN THE [10:43] BARBARY PIRATES. [10:44] AND UP THERE WITH TRUMP TAKING [10:47] DOWN MADORO. [10:48] THE PRESIDENT KNOWS THE STAKES. [10:49] I DON'T WANT TO RUSH IT [10:50] BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE, YOU KNOW, [10:52] TRYING TO MAKE US LOOK AS BAD [10:53] AS POSSIBLE. [10:54] I DON'T WANT TO RUSH IT. [10:55] I WANT TO TAKE MY TIME. [10:56] WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. [10:57] AND I WANT TO GET A GREAT DEAL. [10:59] I WANT TO GET A DEAL WHERE OUR [11:01] NATION AND THE WORLD IS SAFE FROM [11:04] LUNATICS WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [11:06] THE MARKETS, THEY'RE [11:07] BULLISH. [11:08] IT'S A SUCCESS STORY IF YOU'RE [11:11] IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW, THE [11:13] STOCK MARKET IS. [11:14] YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE. [11:16] S&P 500 SHIFTS AT THIS POINT IN [11:18] A PRESIDENCY. [11:19] YOU KNOW, COMING INTO THE DAY AT [11:21] THE CLOSE OF YESTERDAY, LOOK AT [11:23] THIS, UP 19%. [11:24] THAT IS HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE [11:26] PRESIDENT SINCE 2001 WHEN IT'S UP [11:28] 15% AND WAY, WAY HIGHER THAN THE [11:31] AVERAGE PRESIDENCY SINCE 1961, [11:33] 6%. [11:34] SO THIS STOCK MARKET HAS BEEN UP [11:36] LIKE A ROCKET AND NO WONDER THE [11:38] PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES [11:39] WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT. [11:40] THEY PREDICTED $200 BARREL OIL. [11:41] DIDN'T HAPPEN. [11:42] THEY PREDICTED A RECESSION. [11:43] THEY PREDICTED MASS CASUALTIES. [11:44] SO FAR, NONE OF THAT'S [11:45] HAPPENED. [11:46] SO WHY TRUST THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP [11:49] GETTING IT WRONG? [11:50] HOW COULD YOU HAVE THE UPPER [11:53] HAND WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A HAND, [11:55] LEGS OR LIPS?
