A video, I'm sure you've seen it, Mariana, that went quite viral of a woman in Virginia who just happened to be in a parking lot where ICE officers were carrying out some kind of action.
voice-verified
And she yelled at them out of the window that they should be ashamed of themselves.
voice-verified
And then suddenly they ended up surrounding her car and accusing her of trying to attack them with her car and pointing guns at her and telling her to get out of the car.
voice-verified
It's back in the news, basically, that ICE are behaving very similarly to the way they were at the beginning of the year.
voice-verified
And it is putting people off, even people who were 100 percent behind the idea of detaining and deporting illegal immigrants who were living in the United States do not like what they see of the way it is being done.
voice-verified
Yeah, I think it's quite a good analogy.
voice-verified
And when you say that the US president has lost control of the situation and the Iranians are playing it out for electoral advantage, not for themselves, but to damage the sitting president.
voice-verified
And it is doing a huge amount of damage to Donald Trump, who really needs the Strait of Hormuz to be opened, international oil flowing again and something that looks like some kind of success happening.
voice-verified
after months and months of conflict with Iran.
voice-verified
And he has completely lost charge of any sense of direction with this.
voice-verified
And the Iranians know they can wait it out until the other side of the midterm elections.
voice-verified
And goodness me, I mean, I think it's very smart from Simon to come up with this analogy, not least because if there is one single president in history that Donald Trump does not want to be compared to, it is Jimmy Carter.
voice-verified
He goes on all the time about how weak Carter looked over that hostage situation.
voice-verified
And of course, he wasn't elected to a second term as a result of it.
voice-verified
And
voice-verified
Yeah, yeah.
voice-verified
He attacks Carter all the time for precisely this.
voice-verified
And as Simon says, he's got himself into a pretty similar situation.
voice-verified
No, I have no idea why Donald Trump is threatening to bomb the bleep out of Oman.
voice-verified
They're talking to Iran about getting a corridor open with the Strait of Hormuz.
