| 0:19.0 | We briefly discussed on Monday the push towards war with the run, |
| 0:27.3 | the President of the United States, while he's given the appearance that he does not want a conflict with Iran, his actions, his hubris, his all fall neatly in line with that of the neo-conservative faction of his |
| 0:39.2 | wing it's a useful tool his ego has become a useful tool for the John Bolton's of the world, the Mike Pompeoels of the world who want nothing more than to go to war with Iran. |
| 0:53.0 | And we are now one step closer to that, |
| 0:57.0 | with Trump's decision to send a thousand troops into the region upon the announcement by Iran that they were going to begin |

| 2:17.3 | and the desire to undo everything Barack Obama did including the Iranian deal |
