Lead to war he is the author of the new book losing and enemy obama iran and the triumph of diplomacy and the title itself stands in stark contrast to the geopolitical situation that we see right now hes also founder of the National Iranian American Council im happy to welcome to the day trip r. C. For the joins me from washington tonight for it is good to have you on the program today promised more sanctions coming in the at the same time he tweeted about wanting world peace do you know what the u. S. President s end game with iran is. I dont think its clear to anyone with the actual endgame is and i think thats also a very deliberate strategy by the Trumpet Ministration they relish in confusing the outside world thinking that they actually give the United States an edge when in reality i think is happening is that more and more countries are starting to see
a Historic Deal that simultaneously invaded but central disasters a war with iran and iran obtaining a Nuclear Weapons option no
issues, including accountable for january 6th, but this midterm election is going to be decided by inflation and by the pandemic. and that s what democrats need to wake up every morning and talk about and address meet the voters where they are going into november. let me ask you quickly, this number is coming off the top of my head, david, but when you say trump is the frontrunner, there s a great cnn poll out today, i think the number is 46% of republicans or republican-leaning independents who say we don t want trump to run again. that s a pretty significant number. do you think his lock on the party is finally waning? look, it s not absolute. he is still the frontrunner. but i would recast the republican horse race in this going into the 2024 stakes, this is ron desantis road to the nomination and there s only one person that can stop ron desantis and that s donald trump. this is ron desantis emerging party.
comes to diversity, when it comes to a lot of these things. again, to show folks because people are busy and they may not have been following virginia all week or all month, here s exactly what mcauliffe and biden have been closing on which is making everything trump when it comes to the republican ticket in virginia. take a look. he s created hatred and division, just like donald trump. terry is running against an acolyte of donald trump. we don t want trump. we don t want youngkin. he won t allow donald trump to campaign for him in this state. would you rally with donald trump? he s not coming. what s he trying to hide? is he embarrassed? alex. yeah. it s a really awkward position that glenn youngkin is in, given the fact he wants to pull trump supporters into his voting public, but he doesn t actually want donald trump to come to the commonwealth of virginia. look, i mean, ari, the fact of the matter is terry mcauliffe has played the trump card repeatedly on the ca
democrat terry mcauliffe running for his old job against republican glenn youngkin with local issues like jobs and covid competing with the national realities about the state of the biden agenda, that spending vote which may in the end come too late to boost any enthusiasm for the democrat on the ground there. and a test for the republican party balancing trumpy drama with electoral reality. a republican candidate trying to have it both ways, as the washington post editorial recently put it, appealing to the suburban centrists out there while trying to pacify the maga faithful. it has been a dance occurring in public, democrats exploiting that as a weakness potentially for republican glenn youngkin. he s created hatred and division just like donald trump. tyranny is running against an acolyte of donald trump. we don t want trump, we don t want youngkin. he won t allow donald trump to campaign for him in this state. state.
