The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

Yeah.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

But I don't think we have any resolution to this for several months.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

But I do think you're going to get the straight open or partially open and you're going to get the oil prices into an equipoise and I think you're going to have a cold peace

The Rest Is Politics: US

on this situation, but you're not going to have a resolution because Trump doesn't want to pay the money because of the tarring that he'll get that he's Obama-lite.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

Netanyahu doesn't really want it to 100% stop either because of the political coalition that's fracturing before him.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And the Iranians don't care.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

They just want to be able to sell oil so they can try to get their economy revived.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

If you take those three points of the triangle, that's a 60-day freeze, let some oil through the Strait, and we'll be in this sort of weird equipoise.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

But I think he's changed the right wing propaganda on this.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

Because when you listen to Fox News or these other people and they just want you to go hard at the Iranians and beat them up like it's a sports team, I think he's now changed the narrative, which is this is a way more complex situation.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And so even the Fox News pundits, they can't seem to get around the fact that the realities are there's just only so much that the Americans can do.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And I'll just take you back to the tanker wars in 1984 to 1988, very similar situation, very tight parallels where we had to reluctantly escort commercial shipping out of there.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And I think that's where we're going to be.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

The next president, Kat, will be sitting here saying, okay, well, Trump left me a mess.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

How do I quietly resolve this with the Iranians so that I can have free flowing oil and goods and services coming through the strait?

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And that will be done without talking to journalists.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

That's my prediction.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

That'll be done in a subterranean sort of a way.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

It's a special day in the UK, also here in the US.

The Rest Is Politics: US
194. Trump Vs Netanyahu: Who’s Calling The Shots?

And look, as a dad myself, I wanted to give our listeners a quick tip.
