PRIORITIZING THE STRAIT: Trump reportedly floats Iran deal WITHOUT nuclear agreement

IF A. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO. RETURN WHITE HOUSE FOR THE NEXT. FEW HOURS OR PARTLY SAYS WE ARE. QUOTE ONLY SEMI- NEGOTIATING. WITH IRAN. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN. NETANYAHU SAYS ISRAEL WILL NOT. ACCEPT THE TRUMP BACKED 15-POINT. GAZA PEACE PLAN. REPORTS SAY TRUMP IS READY TO. WALK AWAY FROM A NUCLEAR DEAL.

WITH IRAN IF HE CAN FULLY REOPEN. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THE PRESIDENT THINKS IRAN WOULD. NOT BE ABLE TO REBUILD ITS. NUCLEAR PROGRAM WHILE HE IS AN. OFFICE BUT MEMBERS OF THE. ADMINISTRATION ARE STILL WORRIED. ABOUT THE IRANIAN THREAT. >> THE IRANIAN REGIME IS LETHAL. THE INFLICTION OF HARM TO THEM. AND PAINTED THEM IS NOT. SOMETHING THAT IS IMAGINED. THEIR ABILITY TO PRODUCE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON HAS BEEN GREATLY.

SETBACK BUT THEIR MISSILE. CAPACITY AND FOR SCHLEE HAS. GROWN. HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE THEY. CAN LAUNCH ONE TOWARDS THE. UNITED STATES? THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM. SERIOUSLY. >> OKAY WE HAVE HEARD REPORTS. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LOOKING FOR. AN OFF-RAMP SO JOEY IF YOU ARE. ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A DEAL TO. FULLY REOPEN THE STRAIT THAT THE. NUCLEAR ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED IS. THAT A GOOD ALTERNATIVE? >> IT MAY BE A GOOD OFFERING AND. IT MAY BE DETRIMENTAL FOR HIS. LEGACY IN THE MIDTERMS AND WHEHN.

WE GET DONE WITH MILITARY. FUNDING I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S. VIABLE. HE TRIED TO SELL THE NUCLEAR. THREAT IS TAKING CARE OF THEN IT. BECOMES A BIG CIRCLE BACK WHERE. WE STARTED TO BEGIN WITH. IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION RIGHT. NOW. THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO SAY BUT. YOU LOOK AT WHAT IRAN IS LOOKING. AT A PHASEOUT OF PREPARATIONS. AND REMOVAL OF AMERICAN IN THE. REGION OF BLOCKADE NO AMERICAN.

WARSHIPS CONFESSED TO THE. COMMERCIAL VESSELS AND PRETTY. MUCH ALL OF THOSE ARE. NONSTARTERS. >> TOMI QUICKLY COULD THE. PRESENT CELL THAT IS A WIN? >> I THINK WOULD BE DIFFICULT. BUT IT'S WISE TO LOOK FOR AN. OFF-RAMP HERE. SOME OF THE FOLKS AND WE CALL. THEM NEOCONS I THINK SOME OF. THESE FOLKS WANT GROUND TROOPS. THEYEY WANT A FULL-BLOWN WAR ANI. THINK THAT WOULD BE IN EVERY. SENSE OF THE WORD BUT I DON'T. THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTED. AND IT'S A HARD SELL FOR THE. AMERICAN PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.

I THINK GOING FOR REGIME CHANGE. MIGHT BE WHAT ISRAEL WANTS BUT I. DON'T THINK THAT'S AMERICA FIRST. AT THIS TIME. >> JOE YESTERDAY TALKED ABOUT. GAS PRICES AND WE TALKED ABOUT. THE STOCK MARKET. IF GAS PRICES COME DOWN THE. STOCK MARKET GOES UP A LITTLE. BIT WILL BE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOOK. AT THIS AS HEY WE ARE BETTER OFF. NOW QUICK. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A BIG. PICTURE GUY BUT IN THE END IN. NOVEMBERER IF WE HAVE GAS PRICES. TOWARDS THE 3-DOLLAR LEVEL THAN. THE 4-DOLLAR LEVEL WE WON'T. WORRY ABOUT THE DEAL THAT HE.

MADE BACK IN AUGUST TO BE THE. OFF-RAMP AT THIS POINT. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IN JOEY. A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU AND I'M. SORRY TO TAKE TAKE OVER FOR 20. SECONDS. IF PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD THE. CHANCE TO DO IT OVER AGAIN DO. YOU THINK HE WOULD GO THROUGH. THIS EXERCIS.
