00:00Start with this idea about the two weeks. There's been a lot of discussion about it. How do you read it?
00:07I think that Donald Trump has never wavered from the ultimate objective, which is that the Iranian nuclear program has to end.
00:13It has to be dismantled. It has to be destroyed. The only question has been whether it's done militarily or whether it's done voluntarily.
00:19He gave them a 60 day, a 60 day deadline. They let the deadline pass.
00:24And so Israel began bombing on day 61. And now he is basically holding out. This is your last chance.
00:30The time for negotiation is over. There's not going to be any kind of deal.
00:33This is a question of whether Iran cries Amu, which is Persian for uncle, and allows U.S. to come in and blow up Fordow from inside.
00:42Or we do it from without from the skies above with B-2 bombers.
00:45But I think there is zero chance that the Fordow nuclear facility survives this encounter with Iran.
00:54Here's what President Trump's White House said yesterday about not looking for a ceasefire.
01:01The ceasefire means like everything's going swimmingly. We'll take a little time off. It's not. We're not looking for a ceasefire.
01:07We're looking for a total, complete victory. Again, you know what the victory is. No nuclear weapon.
01:13Mark, he's been consistent on that. We've shown that all week.
01:19Do you think that the suggestion that there is disgruntlement amongst the ranks of the Republican Party writ large are overblown or on target?
01:29Oh, completely overblown. I mean, the idea that there's a schism in the Republican Party or that the Trump coalition is breaking up is completely absurd.
01:37Remember, the Reagan Institute is coming out with a new poll this weekend. I've seen the numbers in advance.
01:42Ninety percent of self-described MAGA Republicans say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
01:48Eighty percent say that that is vital to I'm sorry, that Israel's security is vital to our security.
01:54Sixty four percent support Israel bombing the nuclear facilities.
01:58There is absolutely no daylight between Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
02:02What there are is a small, tiny, loud but but but tiny cabal of Republican isolationists on Capitol Hill and in the commentariat who are completely disconnected from Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
02:15The MAGA movement is absolutely behind Donald Trump and he's in getting rid of this nuclear program.
