What is the backup plan for the peace talks in Islamabad?
What's your backup plan? You don't need a backup plan. We have the military is defeated. Their military is gone. They have, you know, we've degraded just about everything. They have very few missiles. They have very little manufacturing capability. We've hit them hard. Our military is amazing. The job they've done.
How has military capability changed in the region?
Is this a one and done talk or are you open to more talks after this, Kenny?
I don't know. I can't tell you. I have to see what happens tomorrow. They've been talking for 47 years with other presidents, and we're not doing much talking. Thank you very much. You know, writing a book about how the middle class and the working people were getting screwed over and then getting in power and not caring about them at all. Calling Trump America's Hitler and then being his sidekick. You know, all of this. And to stand. I'm so glad you raised that point. To stand next to Orban, who represents everything that we tell our children never to be. You know, a dictator who takes from the people who doesn't care about human rights. So, you know, all this aside, this is a really important moment for for peace in the world.
And and and frankly, I think it's best for Israel. if this fighting stops and that all of Iran's proxies and all the things they tell them to do to Israel, all that is brought to a table. And we can figure this out because I will tell you, I am so sad at what's happening to the reputation of Israel because of Netanyahu, in my opinion, in this great country of ours. I have never seen it. I served for so many years and I always knew how critical it is To keep the American people behind Israel. The last point I'd make in all the years that I spent in Washington and several many trips to the Middle East, I met with all the leaders. I never did meet with Bibi. That's a whole other funny story. But I met with most of them.
And they always had a couple of things. Number one, Senator, we will always be a democracy and we will always care about human rights. And we will always need America and we will be America's strongest ally. But America will never have to fight our battles. And, you know, I just see Bibi changing the whole scenario here. And I worry so much about it. And with all my disagreements with J.D. Vance, I hope he succeeds. According to sources familiar with recent U.S. intelligence assessments, China is preparing to send a shipment of weapons to Iran despite the ongoing fragile ceasefire, which it helped to broker. China says that these claims are untrue and that they have never provided any weapons to any country that's party to this current conflict.
What is the significance of the Diego Garcia base?
Two sources say that the weapons that China is sending include shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems. And these types of weapons pose a major threat to low flying aircraft. It would be a huge undertaking militarily. I'm not prepared to say that it couldn't be done militarily, but to do it and to sustain an opening, a safe opening of the Strait would require months and months of hard work by not just the United States military, but frankly, militaries in the region and hopefully even militaries who aren't in the region, such as our European allies. I mean, just the convoys alone, Jan, just I did that mission back in 88. That's time intensive, ship intensive work. We had 500-plus ships back then.
We have only 300 or so now. We would need help to do it. And the convoys are slow, and you've got to be constantly on your toes going through that narrow strait. But also, you need eyes overhead. You're going to need constant intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets flying over the strait so you can see with an unblinking eye everything that's moving in that water 24-7. And you might even have to to take militarily through land forces some of those islands on both sides of the strait that the Iranians have been able to use to launch attacks from. It's a huge undertaking. Again, not impossible militarily, but huge. And there's just really no way the United States could do it on its own for any sustained period of time.
