Alert. US Central Command just announced
they began a third round of strikes
against Iran in response to Iranian
forces attacking a Cypress flagged
container ship in the straight of
Hormuz. Sentcom says the US is degrading
Iran's ability to attack ships and the
strikes are being carried out at the
direction of the commander and chief.
Tom, I'm just go right back to you on
this. Uh, obviously this is the
perennial issue right now. No matter
where we are, we talk about the Texas
Senate race. This is gonna this is going
to make news because we just don't know
where this is from one minute to the
other. It seems to be reactionary
sometimes. Iran hits ships after
President Trump gave him an ultimatum
and now we're hitting Iran. What happens
next?
>> We don't know what happens next, but I
will say this. There are some that
believe if we take some sort of military
action that that's going to be bad for
midterms for Republicans. I actually
disagree with that. I think the fact
that we win in the first place, so there
were some that weren't happy about that.
But if you are going to go in, I think
most of those folks think finish the job
and get it done. And these diplomatic
talks 60 days and then we extend it and
then we're in a ceasefire and then we
get hit and then they're saying crazy
things on social media and kill Trump in
the streets. I think the president needs
to take action. I think he's doing that
and I think the American people will
reward him for that because I think the
worst thing that can happen is just
rinse and repeat for months on end and
have no change.
>> Riley, uh, we were on this show a couple
weeks ago, uh, Tommy and I, and we broke
news. We had the vice president come on
this show, call in from being pulled
away from uh the things that he was
involved in to talk about this deal,
this this big plan that was going to
give, I believe it was 60 days, this
memorandum of understanding working
towards the deal. The entire
administration seemed to be locking
step. This was a good plan and it had
teeth. And here we are a few weeks later
and it feels like we're back to a month
and a half ago. It feels like nothing's
changed. Um where do Americans sit on
this? Do they feel like the
administration is losing control? They
feel like that we're we're we're playing
catch-up,
>> you know. Well, and you do know this. It
speaks to the instability of the Middle
East specifically. Uh I I'll agree with
Tommy here. I think President Trump is a
man of his word. If he says he's going
to do something, you better believe he
is going to follow through with it. Now,
you ask where Americans sit. I'll speak
specifically to where Jinzy sits on this
issue. I think there's a lot of people
who are, let's say, recently uh college
graduated or or even those still in
college who are kind of tired of the
conversation surrounding the Middle East
and and the US involvement, especially
those honestly who are conservatives. I
think there are a lot of Gen Z
conservatives when they say America
first, they mean really America only. Is
that because they don't have a great
understanding of what US involvement
looks like overseas? Probably. I think
that's a large part of it. But in
speaking to my generation and how we
feel about this topic, I think there's a
level of exhaustion to be honest with
you. Confusion quite frankly, confusion
of of where we really are. You know, we
see these breaking news all the time of
of strikes on Iran.
>> I feel like I see that every other day
at this point. So there even speaking
for myself, there's a level of confusion
of where we're actually at.
>> You know, we're not that far apart in
age here. We do have three generations
represented here, right? Gen Z, Riley
talks about Gen Z. Well, they grew up
with the war on terror, right? They came
to They came to adulthood in a 20-year
war. Uh you came to adulthood, Gen X.
>> Yes.
>> You know, as that war as as the Islamic
radicalism became a thing. And so your
generation sees a little bit differently
and probably has a little bit more
patience because you saw 9/11 and you
saw the you know and maybe not you
specifically uh but just your generation
saw the bombings in Beirut, saw the USS
Cole and what radical Islamic terrorism
can do if you don't take the fight to
them.
>> It's a it's a great point. I I was in
New York uh on 911. I wasn't downtown,
but I could see it right from about here
where I was working in the buildings on
fire and getting off in a ferry uh to to
get back to New Jersey and then knowing
that my friends uh were dying or had
died uh in the World Trade Center. So,
yeah, I do have a different perspective.
I think Riley makes a great point though
around the numbness and fatigue around
this because I look at oil futures like
right now, right? $71, right, a barrel,
which is pretty low, right? Considering
it was above 100 at the beginning of
this war. Yeah.
>> Gallon of gas 3.88. It was well above
$4. So I think at this point, Joey, I
think
>> I think the American people, they're
either numb or they have patience. But
in the end, until the straight of Harm
is completely open. This is going to be
a problem for Republicans in the
midterms because the longer this goes
on, the more Democrats could have the
argument that they're the anti-war party
and therefore they may do better in the
midterms than they otherwise would if we
didn't have this war happening right
now. Tell me.
>> But I will say to that point, and I
agree with everybody here on the level
of exhaustion we're at, but I think it's
more exhausting to hear that we're
having diplomatic talks and diplomatic
talks and diplomatic talks and then it's
like, oh, they've agreed to this that or
whatever. That's funny baloney. They
don't they don't mean anything they say,
at least the people that we've been
talking.
>> Well, we don't know who we're talking to
as well.
>> Exactly. But I think that the fatigue
comes when we keep hearing that there's
some kind of a ceasefire or there's some
kind of a negotiation. I think being
decisive, I think that that to me is a
