Segment Topic:
- “Without question, the last thing President Trump wants is to launch, either by design or by accident, a new world war. The president, it needs to be said, was elected in the first place by campaigning as an opponent of what he saw as the “forever wars” of the Bushes and, more generally, some in the American foreign policy establishment. This is something he clearly deeply believes.” (Jeffrey Lord/The American Spectator)
- Jeffrey, what did you think of Trump’s “two-week window” announced yesterday?
- The Iranian Revolution took seven-days to end. Are you surprised?
- There have been back channels with the Iranians to resume negotiations; isn’t that now easier because their nuclear program has been terminated by the Israelis?
- Someone in Iran allegedly suggested coming to the White House for direct talks; thought I doubt we will see a new Camp David Summit.
- Would these direct talks be similar to those which took place prior to President Reagan taking office in 1981 (release of the American hostages)?
- IF Trump decides to move forward with direct military involvement, will the country support him? There are all sorts of polling out there – but until it actually happens, who knows?
Panelist:
Jeffrey Lord, host of the “Word of the Lord” podcast
Jeffrey Lord, host of the “Word of the Lord” podcast, Jeffrey is a former advisor to President Reagan and a frequent contributor to Newsmax.
His latest opinion piece in the American Spectator; entitled: “Iran’s Khamenei v. Trump — And the World” “Yet again, an obsessed global bad guy”
11:33
Segment Topic:
- Jennifer, what are the political risks to President Trump if he decides to move forward with direct military action?
- There is a lot of polling going on to determine if Americans support military action against Iran. What do you think of those numbers?
- The organized ICE incidents are increasing and getting more violent. What are the political ramifications for the Democrats if they continue to support violence and insist on getting themselves arrested in defiance of Trump’s mass deportation policy (which is working)?
- Jasmine Crockett called all Trump supporters “sick” – is she the gift which keeps on giving?
- It appears the DNC is broke; do they understand why?
