Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report.

If Trump didn't send Musk to talk with the Iranians, he should.

One of the most encouraging and promising things, President Elect Trump said in his post-election acceptance speech was,

I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars. We all understand that campaign promises

often have a short shelf life after the election is over. But the Trump campaign's repeated talk

of peace over war at least demonstrates that he finds it a winning point to make to the American

people.

Will that talk of peace turn into action in the second Trump presidency, especially with the

Hawks he has named to senior foreign policy positions in his incoming administration?

It's hard to say, but at last week's report that he sent Elon Musk to meet with Iranian

ambassador to the United Nations would be a good sign if true.

Iran has denied that any such meeting took place and with rumors swirling of Trump's talks

with Putin and other world leaders, it may just be a media creation.

But even if it is not true that Trump sent Mux to meet with the Iranians, it would be a good idea to do so.

Why Musk? Because Musk is not expected to take on a formal role in the incoming Trump administration.

He can be seen as an informal advisor and friend of the president-elect.

Plus, as a businessman, Elon Musk speaks a different language than government diplomats. Why meet with the Iranians?

What's there to talk about? One important topic to bring up would be claims made by Biden's

FBI that there was an Iranian plot to assassinate then candidate Trump. As many commentators, including former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, have asserted,

the plot, as outlined in the FBI indictment, seems improbable.

It is possible that Deep State Hawks cooked up this alleged plot

to guarantee that once taking off, President Trump, would not be tempted to open to Iran.
