‘The Five’: Trump hits PAUSE on Iran strikes

♪♪. >> AFTER NEARLY TWO WEEKS OF. NIGHTLY HIT STRIKES, TRUMP HAS. HIT PAUSE. HE'S COMING OFF AS THE MULLAHS. COME BEGGING FOR PEACE TALKS. >> President Trump: I HAVE A LOT. OF PAY,, PLENTY OF TIME. WE'RE HAVING GOOD TALKS SO WE'LL. SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT. SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. IF IT DOES, GOOD, IF IT DOESN'T.

WE GO BACK TO WHAT WE WERE DOING. TWO DAYS AGO. WE HAVE PLENTY. WE HAVE A LOT OF AMMUNITION, MORE THAN WE COULD EVER USE BUT. WE HAVE A LOT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE, TO BE. HONEST, BUT SO MUCH WAS GIVEN TO. UKRAINE BY BIDEN. >> DEMOCRATS ARE READY TO CUT. AND RUN. MARYLAND SENATOR CHRIS VAN. HOLLEN ONCE TRUMP TO PULL THE. CORD ON THE WAR. >> WHEN YOU'RE DIGGING A HOLE.

YOU STOP DIGGING. NETANYAHU CONVINCED TRUMP IT. WOULD BE QUICK AND GET REGIME. CHANGE AND WHAT WE'VE GOT IRAN. STEAD IS AN EVEN MORE MILITANT. IRANIAN REGIME AND THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ IS STILL CLOSED WHEN IT. WAS OPEN DID DAY BEFORE THE WAR. MY VIEW IS JUST END IT RIGHT. NOW. >> END IT RIGHT NOW, DANA. BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE. NICE TO HEAR FROM SOME OF TESE. DEMOCRATS WHAT THEIR PLAN IS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A SURPRISE,

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN THE. ATTACKS OVER THE YEARS SO. CLEARLY THIS IS A MASSIVE. PROBLEM. WHAT DO DEMOCRATS DO NOW? >> CNN COVERED TWO DIFFERENT. POLLS TODAY THAT SHOWED DESPITE. ALL OF THIS VOTERS STILL PREFER. REPUBLICANS TO DEMOCRATS WHEN IT. COMES TO NATIONAL DEFENSE. THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD PUT. SOMETHING FORWARD BUT WE HAVE TO. DEAL WITH REALITY AND SO DOES.

THE ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE THE. IRANIANS ARE AND THE GULF ALLIES. ARE, AND THE HOUTHIS WANT IN AND. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT. MUNITIONS BECAUSE THAT SHOULD BE. CLASSIFIED BUT IT BEEN GOING ON. FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND YOU. HAD THE AMBASSADOR ON THE SHOW. YESTERDAY. THERE IS NO PROBLEM HERE, NOTHING TO SEE AND WHOEVER. LEAKED THAT SHOULD BE. PROSECUTED. FIND THE LAESHLG. BUT THEN THERE ARE REPORTS, LIKE. OFF THE RECORD, PEOPLE SAYING, THERE IS ANOTHER CAMP IN THE.

WHITE HOUSE THAT IS SAYING, ACTUALLY, WE DO HAVE A MUNITIONS. PROBLEM, MAYBE WE DO. I DON'T KNOW. I JUST THINK WE PROBABLY. SHOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS OF. ADVERSARIES AND WE NEED TO BE. CLEAR ABOUT THAT. THE IRANIANS, THEY HAVE GOT A. DEATH WISH, AND WHEN THE. PRESIDENT SAYS HE HAS PATIENCE, SO DO THEY. THEY WILL WAIT THIS OUT. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT PAYING FOR. THEIR PEOPLE. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR. PEOPLE AT ALL. I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT. HAPPENS TOMORROW WHEN NETANYAHU. COMES, BECAUSE THERE ARE. OBJECTIVES THAT THE PRESIDENT. LAID OUT, IN GOING INTO THE WAR.

NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN MET. AND SO HE HAS PATIENCE, BUT HE. ALSO HAS TO SHOW SOME SORT OF. VISIBLE VICTORY. I DON'T THINK LEAVING IT THE WAY. IT IS IS GOING TO SATISFY THE. GULF ALLIES AND IT'S NOT GOOD. FOR THE ECONOMY. IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THE. PRESIDENT SAID THE LAST TIME. WHEN HE WANTED A CEASE-FIRE HE. DIDN'T WANT TO BE HERBERT HOOVER. BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS TELLING HIM. THAT WE COULD ENTER INTO. SOMETHING WORSE THAN THE GREAT. DEPRESSION IF WE DIDN'T HANDLE. THE GLOBAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE. ECONOMY. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF BALLS.

IN THE AIR AND I'M NOT SURE. WHERE THEY WILL FALL. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE BALLS IN THE AIR. THERE ARE ALSO MISSILES IN THE. AIR, JESSE, WHO DOES IT BENEFIT. TO LEAK INFORMATION ABOUT A. DEPLETED MUNITIONS SUPPLY? >> Jesse: OH, THAT'S A GOOD. QUESTION. MAYBE THE WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS? MAYBE ANTI-TRUMP FORCE WITHIN. THE ADMINISTRATION. I TOLD YOU SO. I DON'T LIKE IT AND I DON'T. TRUST IT BECAUSE I'M PRETTY WELL. WIRED IN THE PENTAGON PUBLICLY.

AND PRIVATELY. WHO KNOWS. I DO KNOW WHO IS KIND OF RUNNING. OUT OF MUNITIONS AND THAT'S THE. IRANIANS. THEY BROKE THE CEASE-FIRE SO WE. UNLOADED ABOUT A TWO-WEEK. BOMBING CAMPAIGN ON THE. COASTLINE LINE TO DEGRADE THEIR. ABILITY TO ATTACK THE STRAIT AND. IT WORKED. THEY HAVEN'T ATTACKED A TANKER. IN THE STRAIT FOR FIVE STRAIGHT. DAYS SO AT THE BRIEFING BY BRAD. COOPER, NOT THE ACTOR, THE. CENTCOM COMMANDER, HE TOLD THE. PRESIDENT WE'RE OUT OF TARGETS. WE'VE HIT EVERYTHING ON THE. COASTLINE. THE ONLY NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO.

JUST KNOCK OFF THE REST OF THE. TARGETS THAT WE SAVED DURING. EPIC FURY, THROUGHOUT THE REST. OF THEY, AND THE PRESIDENT SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S PAUSE IT. PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME, WHY DON'T. WE GIVE PIECE ONE MORE CHANCE. >> NOW HERE ARE WHAT T THE TALK. ARE ABOUT. LIKE THE STRAIT, THEY WANT TO.

MAKE THAT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. >> WE'RE STILL BRINGING BACK A. LOT OF FIREPOWER AND SPECIAL. OPERATE -- THE BALL BOUNCES. DIFFERENTLY, MAYBE SOMEONE GETS. HURT AND THE NEXT THING YOU. KNOW, WHOA, THAT'S WHY YOU'VE. GOT TO FINISH PEOPLE OFF AND.

FINISH THEM OFF QUICKLY. BARREL BUT THERE IS. STILL A LOT OF WORK. TO DO. >> I'M SURE PUMP WILL. POST IN A FEW. MINUTES. GET IT GEARED UP FOR. ANOTHER DAY. I GUESS I'LL FOLLOW. WHATEVER HE AND HIS. KIDS AND JARED.

KUSHNER ARE INVESTING. IN. THAT FANCY FOOTWORK. THAT JESSE JUST. DIDMAYBE WE SHOULD. HAVE THOUGHT THAT. ABOUT IT BEFORE WE. STARTED THIS THING. IF IT'S PART --. EVERYONE FROM THE. DEFENSE SECRETARY TO. GENERAL CAIN HAS SAID. THAT IT WAS, HOW DID. YOU NOT EXPECT THIS. TO HAPPEN? IT'S LIKE, YOU GAVE. THEM THE BEST TOY. EVER, AND YOU THINK.

THEY ARE JUST GOING. TO GIVE IT BACK TO. YOU. THAT'S NOT HOW. TODDLERS BEHAVE. AND JESSE SHOULD KNOW. THAT. >> BECAUSE I'M A. FATHER, NOT A. TODDLER. >> EXACTLY. >> HOWEVER YOU WANT. TO SLICE IT. YOU ARE THAT. >> NOBODY BELIEVES. DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE. SAYS, WE'RE LOCKED. AND LOADED. THEY DON'T BELIEVE. HIM ABOUT BRIDGING. POWER PLANT DAY. THEY DON'T BELIEVE. HIM ABOUT HOW WELL. DIPLOMACY IS GOING. THEY DON'T BELIEVE. HIM WITHOUT WIPING. THE CIVILIZATION OFF.

THE FACE OF THE. PLANET. IT'S LIKE GLOWING. SMOKE. AND, JUST OUT INTO. THE WORLD, AND IT. HELPS THOSE, I GUESS, AGAIN, TO GO BACK TO. THE MARKET. MANIPULATION BECAUSE. HE LIKES TO SAY. THINGS ARE GETTING. BETTER AND BETTER, THOUGH $87 A BARREL, DOWN TO $70 A WEEK. AND A HALF AGO WHEN I. TOLD YOU IT'S GOING. TO GO BACK UP BECAUSE. OF THE WAIVERS BEING. YANKED AWAY. >> Jesse: DON'T YOU. GUYS -- YOU SAID YO. WANTED HIGH OIL. PRICES. FOR FOUR YEARS, YOU. DROVE THEM UP TO $90.

A BARREL AND YOU SAID. THAT WAS A GOOD. THING. WHAT WAS IT FOR? NOTHING. >> Jessica: OKAY. >> Jesse: THERE ARE. NO WINDMILLS, NO. SOLAR PANELS AND. PEOPLE GOT HAMMERED. DON'T TALK ABOUT LIKE. YOU KNOW ANYTHING. ABOUT THE OIL. MARKETS. >> Jessica: LET'S GO. AGAIN ABOUT WHAT A. TOLL VERSUS AN. ENVIRONMENTAL FEE IS. >> Jesse: IT'S THE. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A. MAN AND A WOMAN. YOU GUYS JUST CHANGE. THE DEFINITION OF. THINGS. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT. DIFFERENT. >> Jessica: AS A. PROUD MOTHER OF TWO, WHO GOT IT OUT OF MY. OWN BODY I KNOW FULL.

WELL WHAT A WOMAN IS, AND I KNOW WHAT A MAN. IS USING THAT MARSHAL. BLACKBURN THING IS --. EVERY LEAK -- WHETHER. IT'S THE DRAFT OF THE. MOU, WHERE YOU SAY. IT'S A REIGNING. PROPAGANDA. IT'S ACTUALLY THE. MOU. THE FIRST SET OF. LEAKS WENT TO THE. ATLANTIC AND IT. LOOKED LIKE JD. VANCE'S TEAM. THIS SET OF LEAKS. WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY.

ABOUT VANCE BEING. CONCERNED ABOUT. MUNITIONS AND CAIN IS. IN THE TIMES AND. "WALL STREET. JOURNAL.". YOU DON'T THINK AFTER. GOING THROUGH MONTHS. OF THIS HAVING TO GO. AFTER IRAN OVER AND. OVER AGAIN, WHEN IT. WAS BILLED AS MAYBE A. FEW WEEKS, HAVEN'T. DEPLETED OUR. MUNITIONS AND CHINA. ISN'T LOOKING AT. TAIWAN. >> Jesse: JESSICA, YOU DON'T KNOW. ANYTHING ABOUT. TAIWAN. YOU DON'T KNOW. ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TELL YOU WHAT, YOU. KNOW WHAT, JESSICA? THE MUSICIAN THAT IS. WE USED, IMAGINE WE. WAITED 10 YEARS UNTIL. A DEMOCRAT WAS. PRESIDENT.

AND THEN HE STARTED. FIGHTING IRAN. AND THEN WE STARTED. FIGHTING IRAN. THAT WAS THE WHOLE. POINT OF THE. OPERATION. BECAUSE IF YOU LET. THEM BUILD UP THESE. MISSILE SILOS, THEN. YOU WILL NEVER BE. ABLE TO TAKE OUT THE. NUCLEAR PROGRAM. IT'S BETTER TO DO IT. NOW AND THAT EVER. THAT'S THE ARGUMENT. >> TYRUS? >> Tyrus: WELL, I. THINK THIS IS ONE OF. THE REASONS WHY IRAN. IS STILL HANGING. AROUND, BECAUSE IF. THEY TURN ON THE. RIGHT CHANNEL, THEY. WILL HEAR THEY ARE. DOING WELL AND IT'S. WORSE THAN A MONTY. PYTHON THING. I'M STILL STANDING.

ONLY A FLESH WOUND, WE'RE STILL GOOD HERE. BECAUSE THEY HAVE. PEOPLE SAYING THEY. ARE WINNING THIS WAR. HELP IS ON THE WAY. BUT ONE THOUSAND. PERCENT, I BELIEVE. EVERYTHING THE. PRESIDENT IS SAYING, HE COULD SEND THEM. BACK TO THE STONE. AGE. HE'LL HAVE BRIDGE. DAY. LET'S DRAW A LAND IN. THE SAND. THIS IS THE ONE. PRESIDENT THAT. DOESN'T DO RODE LINES. AND BE LIKE CROSS. THIS LINE OR THIS, OKAY, AND THEN TAKE A. STEP BACK. I DARE YOU TO CROSS.

THIS LINE. IF THEY CROSS THE. LINE, HE'S CLEARLY. DEMONSTRATED HE HAS. NO PROBLEM GOING ALL. OVER THEM. RIGHT NOW HE'S GIVING. DIPLOMACY A CHANCE. BECAUSE HE'S STILL. CONTINUING TO TRY TO. BE A PEACE FIRST. PRESIDENT WHEN IT'S. GETTING TO THE POINT. WHERE IT'S LIKE, YOU'VE DONE ALL YOU. CAN. IT'S TIME TO END. THIS. AND AGAIN, WE'RE NOT. IN YEAR SIX TALKING. ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M. SAYING? THEY ARE DOWN TO, THEY HAVE GOT SOME. POWER PLANTS. A COUPLE OF BRIDGES, YOU KNOW, LIKE, IT'S.

GETTING TO THE POINT. WHERE THERE WILL BE. NOTHING LEFT. AND THIS IS THE ONE. PRESIDENT WHO MEANS. WHAT HE SAYS.
