But we begin this morning
>> [music]
>> with President Trump's new comments on
Iran. Mattie Rivera live for us in DC.
Mattie.
Good morning, Carlie and Todd. President
Trump says he's willing to wait a little
more in order to get the right answers
from Iran, but he warns things could
escalate quickly if they don't get the
right deal.
We're going to give this one shot. I'm
in no hurry. You know, everything go the
midterms I'm in no hurry. I'm in no
hurry. I just
uh ideally I'd like to see few people
killed as opposed to a lot.
We can do it either way, but but I'd
like to see few people killed.
Reuters reports Tehran is reviewing the
responses from the US and that the
Pakistani army chief is considering
traveling to Iran today to help with the
negotiations. The president has rejected
previous proposals deeming them
insufficient. Tehran has reportedly
demanded control of the Strait of
Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, and
withdrawal of US troops and has offered
no resolution for its nuclear program,
which is a red line for the president.
He repeated his warning that Iran can't
have a nuclear weapon during [music] his
commencement address at the Coast Guard
Academy on Wednesday and a lot of people
agree with that sentiment. Fox News
polls show about 65% of registered
voters do think the US is winning the
war in Iran, but a large swath of
Americans still reject the military
action in the Middle East. The number of
voters who oppose the conflict grew from
55% to 60% from April to now.
Affordability, guys, continues to
dominate the political landscape
unsurprisingly with only 23% rating the
economy positively. Carlie and Todd.
Mattie Rivera kicking us off here on a
Thursday. Mattie, thank you. Meantime,
President Trump addressing
>> [music]
>> his reportedly tense phone call with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu after calling off a planned
strike on Iran this week. Watch.
What did you say to the to Prime
Minister Netanyahu about Iran and how
long to to hold off on strike?
>> He'll do whatever I want him to do. He's
very very good man.
Uh
he'll do whatever I want him to do.
Elliot Kaufman, member of the Wall
Street Journal editorial board, joins me
now. Is that true? Do you believe that
is the case that Netanyahu will do
whatever Trump tells him to do?
It's essentially true, but it's true
only for Trump.
Ask Joe Biden if uh Netanyahu would do
whatever he asked and you will get a
very different answer. And the reason
why isn't
complicated. Netanyahu has to act in
defense of Israel's core security
interests. With President Biden, he knew
that when push came to shove, Biden
would tell him to de-escalate, stand
down, whether that's leaving Hamas's
stronghold on the border, his uh
Hezbollah's missile arsenal in the
north, or Iran's nuclear program and
missile program accelerating.
With President Trump, it's a totally
different story. President Trump has
shown himself
uh
committed to stopping, preventing Iran's
nuclear program like no American
president ever has. So, when he says
hold off, Israelis say, "Of course."
They trust him.
>> Hey, but what do you make of the tension
reported by Axios between the two in
that phone call? Is that natural at this
stage of a ceasefire when one party,
Israel, wants to get going and one
party's like, "Hold on, we want to try
diplomacy." On one level, it makes
perfect sense. Israel's ready to resume
the fight, fight on now. President Trump
has said he wants to
uh exhaust every last diplomatic
possibility here, even if Iran really
hasn't shown so much up to this point.
But, we saw similar leaks of very
similar phone call spats, tensions,
daylight between the US and Israel as a
decoy before previous strikes. And so we
do have to watch out for that.
>> It's a real point. Um
real good point. Trump said he's in no
hurry to make a deal with Iran. How does
Iran read that?
Well, it's good for it to hear that
President Trump isn't in a hurry, isn't
isn't uh desperate. But at this point,
the ceasefire has dragged on for longer
than the war itself. And that's even as
Iran has reneged on reopening the Strait
of Hormuz and has fired several times
now on US forces, on Gulf allies. And
so, you know, a 30-day ceasefire
extension, which is uh essentially what
people are talking about now, I think
that would tell Iran that we have an
extreme reluctance to
uh resume the fight. And that's not a
helpful
>> It is not helpful. Uh based upon the
lack of a deal so far, Elliot, do you
think diplomacy really, in reality, has
run its course?
I think it has because both sides are
very far apart on the key nuclear
issues. Iran still refuses to dismantle
