'The Five': Trump puts Oman ON NOTICE

♪♪. ♪ MY WORRIES FADE AWAY ♪♪. >> TENSIONS RISING AGAINST IRAN. THREATENING TO "BOMB THE BLEEP. OUT T OF OMAN" IF THEY GET IN T. WAY OF U.S. MILITARY OPERATIONS. TO REOPEN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IRAN SHOULD PUT UP THE WHITE. FLAG OF SURRENDER. HERE MORE FROM THE PRESIDENT. TODAY. >> YOU SAID WOULD YOU BOMB THE. "S" OUT OF OMAN IF THEY GOT IN.

THE WAY OFOF THE STRAIT OF HORM. WOULD YOU SAY YOU'RE OUT OF. PATIENCE WITH OMAN. >> I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE. BEHAVED VERY WELL BUT WE HANDLE. THEM LIKE OTHER THINGS. >> ARE YOU ANY CLOSER TODAY TO. REACHING A FINAL DEAL TO END. IRAN'S NUCLEAR WEAPON? >> President Trump: THEY WANT TO. MAKE A DEAL BUT THEY AREN'T. GOING TO MAKE THE KIND OF DEAL. THAT I FEEL IS NECESSARY. WE'RE THERE FOR ONE REASON. IRAN CAN'T HAVE A NUCLEAR. WEAPON. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IRAN CAN'T. HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. >> THAT COMES AS IRAN REPORTEDLY.

OFFERS A $30,000 FOR THE SOLDER. OR CAPTURE OF U.S. SOLDIERS. DEMOCRATS ARE ATTACKING TRUMP. FOR NOT ABANDONING THE WAR. EFFORT. >> WE CONTINUE TO DIVERT. RESOURCES TO A LOSING WAR. THIS ADMINISTRATION CLEARLY HAD. NO PLAN GOING INTO THE WAR AND. NO CLUE HOW TO GET OUT OF IT. >> WE'VE GOT A PRESIDENT THAT. CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S. DOING. HE TREATS OUR ALLIES LIKE THEY. ARE OUR ADVERSARIES AND OUR. ADVERSARIES AS IF THEY ARE OUR.

ALLIES. >> DANE, IN A IT WILL BE. INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE WE GO. FROM HERE. THERE WAS SOME "WALL STREET. JOURNAL" REPORTING, A STRATEGIC. SHSHIFT BY HARDLINE LEADERS TO. RAISE THE COST FOR THE UNITED. STATES. >> Dana: BECAUSE THEY HAVE SHOWN. THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE THE. PAIN. IT'S THE PEOPLE OF INWHINE ARE. SUFFERING, AND THESE OLD GUARDS, THEY ARE JUST LIKE FINE, BRING. IT ON, AND THEN THEY SAID WE'RE. GOING TO GO ON OFFENSE. WITH WHAT? BUT THEY HAVE SOME KEY THINGS, WHICH IS ONE CAN, THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ.

WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE. HAS BEEN STALWART FROM THE. BEGINNING. FROM THE FIRST TERM AND MORE. RECENTLY WHEN THIS CONFLICT. STARTED, IRAN CAN'T HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON. PERIOD. END OF STORY. THAT'S THE PRINCIPLE ON WHICH. HE'S WORKING. I THINK SOME OF THE FACTS ARE. JUST WHAT THEY ARE AND IF THEY. ARE GOING TO WORK ON THE. ECONOMIC FRONT IT'S GOING TO. TAKE SOME TIME. I THINK THAT, WHERE I USUALLY. WOULD SAY, THERE IS A FACT. PROBLEM WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING. THERE IS A COMMUNICATIONS. PROBLEM. I THINK RIGHT NOW IT WOULDN'T. HURT THEM TO DECLARE.

COMMUNICATIONS BANKRUPTCY. AND CLEAR THE SLATE, AND START. FRESH. AND JUST ONE IDEA I HAD IN THE. COMMERCIAL BREAK. BRING IN THE POOL. THAT'S LIKE A REPRESENTATIVE OF. SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF. REPORTERS THAT ARE ASSEMBLED. EVERY DAY. SO A RANDOM SELECTION, BRING. THEM IN, SIT THEM DOWN WITH THE. SECRETARY OF WAR, SECRETARY OF. STATE, THE NATIONAL SECURITY. ADVISER, MAYBE EVEN JOHN. RADCLIFF AT THE CIA IF THEY ARE. WILLING, AND SAY, HERE'S WHERE. WE ARE. ANSWER EVERY QUESTION UNTIL THEY.

ARE DONE. AND START FRESH, BECAUSE I THINK. THAT THEY DO NEED A. COMMUNICATIONS RESET. >> WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE. GAME. THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID THERE IS. NO TIMELINE SO DOESN'T FEEL LIKE. THERE IS AN IMPENDING AGREEMENT. IMMEDIATELY. >> Harold: THERE IS NOT. LOOK, I WANT THERE TO BE AND I. HOPE NO ONE INTERPRETS MY. COMMENTS TO BE ANYTHING AGAINST. THE PRESIDENT IN ANY WAY, BUT WE. CAN'T, IN THE LAST SEGMENT SAY, WE DON'T LIKE COMMUNISTS AND.

SOCIALISTS IN THE DEMOCRATIC. PARTY. I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH A. DEMOCRAT WHO CAN'T SAY HIS HASAN. PIKER CAN'T DISTANCE HIMSELF. FROM THE THINGS HE'S SET ABOUT. OUR COUNTRY AND 9/11. OUR PRESIDENT THEN CAN'T SAY. SOUTH KOREA, WE'RE GOING TO END. EXERCISES BECAUSE YOU WON'T SIDE. WITH US HERE AND THEN COZY UP. RHETORICALLY TO KIM JUNG-UN WHO. IS SENDING TROOPS TO THE. COMMUNISTS IN RUSSIA TO FIGHT. THE UKRAINE. THE IRANIAN SITUATION IS, I. DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH SOME OF.

THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY GET. LATHERED UP TALKING ABOUT THIS. BUT, MY OLD POWELL, GREG MEEKS, I DON'T KNOW SETH MULETON, IT. DOESN'T APPEAR, I TAKE DANA'S. COMMENCE ABOUT THE RESETTING OF. THE COMMUNICATIONS OF THIS TO BE. EVEN MORE FUNDAMENTAL. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND OUR. OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY. PART OF ME, I'M NOT CONVINCED, DANA, PERHAPS SOMEMEONE AROUND E. TABLE CAN WE ARE SWAYED ME.

OTHERWISE, AND SAID, WE'LL OPEN. IT UNCONDITIONAL, HE MIGHT SAY. THIS IS OVER AND DEAL WITH THE. WEAPON THING LATER. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE STRAIT. OF HORMUZ, THE ECONOMIC PAIN AND. ECONOMIC STRESS IT'S CAUSING THE. COUNTRY IS GREATER IN SOME. PEOPLE'S EYES, INCLUDING SOME IN. THE ADMINISTRATION THAN PERHAPS. THE NUCLEAR ISSUE. FOR ME, AS I HAVE SAT AROUND. THIS TABLE, FOR MONTHS, ON. FEBRUARY 27, BEFORE WE WENT INTO. THIS WAR, THE PRESIDENT AT ONE. POINT CALL IT A SKIRMISH BEFORE.

THE WAR, WE DON'T MIND PAYING. HIGH GASOLINE PRICES IF WE KNOW. WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE AN END. AND AT LEAST KNOW IT'S IN SIGHT. SOMEWHERE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY HIGHER. GASOLINE PRICES THROUGH THE. ELECTIONS, THEY MAY HAVE TO AND. NOT EXACT SOME POLITICAL PENALTY. ON SOMEONE IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE. WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER. TO ELIMINATING THEIR BUILDING OF. AN NUCLEAR WEAPON. HAVE WE DAMAGED THEM MILITARILY?

I DON'T KNOW IF NINTENDO CAN. INCREDIBLY SAY THAT THE IRANIANS. ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON TODAY THAN THEY. WERE BEFORE FEBRUARY 27. AS A 56-YEAR-OLD MAN I DON'T. BELIEVE THE MIDDLE EAST HAS BEEN. LESS STABLE THAN IT'S BEEN RIGHT. NOW IN MY LIFE EVER. >> THE TIMELINE IS UNCERTAIN BUT. THE OBJECTIVE TO ME HAS BEEN. CLEAR. IRAN CAN'T HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. AND THEY HAVE BURIED WHAT THEY. ARE WORKING ON. >> Jesse: HAROLD, EVER SINGLE. NUCLEAR SITE IS DEEP.

UNDERGROUND, IMPENETRABLE TO THE. IRANIANS. THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET ACCESS. TO IT IS IF WE GO THERE WITH. MACHINES AND DIG IT OUT. TRUMP CAN SAY WE'VE ELIMINATED. THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM. NOW, HE CAN SAY IT NOW. PLUS WE KILLED ALL OF THEIR. NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS. SO HE WANTED THE P.R. WIN TO GO. IN WITH SHOVELS AND DIG IT OUT. AND SAY, BOOM, WE GOT IT. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT'S. GOING TO HAPPEN. NOW, OMAN THING. HE'S YELLING AT ONE KID OVER. HERE AND THEN ANOTHER KID PIPES.

UP, YOU, YOU, I'LL HIT YOU, TOO, ALL RIGHT? BOTH TO YOUR BEDS. BECAUSE APPARENTLY, OMAN, WHICH. IS BASICALLY LIKE THE MUSLIM. SWITZERLAND. THEY HAVEN'T D DONE ANYTHING TO. ANYBODY, THEY HAVE ALLEGEDLY. SIGNED THIS NEW DEAL OVER THE. STRAIT WITH IRAN THIS MORNING, AND TRUMP HEARS ABOUT THIS AND. HE'S LIKE, I DIDN'T SEE THIS. DEAL. I'M GOING TO NEED TO SEE WHAT. THEY SIGNED BECAUSE OF THE THREE. COUNTRIES, WE'RE THE ONLY ONE. WITH A NAVY. AND I'M IN VACATION IN MAIN AND.

ALL I SEE IS THIS STUFF ABOUT. THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER, LINCOLN, THE LINK CON, THEY ARE LEAKING. ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT BAD MORALE. OH, MY GOD, AND I LOOK INTO IT, AND THIS CARRIER STRIKE GROUP. HAS BEEN DEPLOYED FOR ALMOST A. YEAR. HALF THE TIME IT'S BEEN IN. COMBAT. IN THE MOST INTENSE NAVAL. WARFARE SINCE WORLD WAR II, SORTIE AFTER SORTIE AGAINST THE. ENEMY. THESE GUYS ARE LIKE, WE'RE. PUSHED TO THE LIMIT.

AND D SO, YES, IT'S WAR. IT'S REALLY TOUGH. BUT THE CENTCOM COMMANDER. VISITED THE SHIP AND SAID THANK. YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND. SACRIFICE, AND THEY WILL BE HOME. SOON DRINKING BEER. PROBABLY DRINKING MORE THAN ONE, SO THANK GOD FOR THESE GUYS. NONOW, AS FOR THE REST OF IT, TRUMP WON THE WAR. BUT HE'S NOT WON THE PEACE. THE ENEMY HAS LOST EVERYTHING. EXCEPT THE STRAIT. SO THEY ARE HOLDING ON TO THAT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE $4 GAS. BUT THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE.

BLOCKADE AND THE BLOCKADE IS. HURTING THEM 10 TIMES MORE THAN. IT'S HURTING US, BUT THE GAY. AYATOLLAH DOESN'T HAVE IRANIAN. MIDTERMS. HE DOESN'T CARE THAT WE KNOCKED. OUT 60% OF THEIR GDP. HE DOESN'T CARE THAT A FALAFEL. COSTS $800,000. IT'S ABOUT REGIME SURVIVAL. BUT TRUMP IS STUBBORN. AND HE'S CREATIVE. AND I HAVE A FEELING THE GUY IS. GOING TO STICK THE LANDING ONE. WAY OR THE OTHER AND GET THAT.

OIL OUT OF THERE. >> THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. JESSE CAME UP WITH THE. HEALTHCARE PLAN ON VACATION AND. THE MIDDLE EAST SITUATION.N. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD, TOM. >> I WANT TO KIND OF PULL BACK. THIS IS AN OBSERVATION THAT I. HAVE BEEN MAKING FOR DECADES. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE PRESS IN. THIS COUNTRY, WHEN THERE IS A. REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE, THEY TREAT. FOREIGN POLICY AS A DOMESTIC. PROBLEM FOR THE PRESIDENT. AND WHEN A DEMOCRAT IS IN. OFFICE, THEY TREAT IT WITH THE.

PROPER RESPECT. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COUNCIL. ON FOREIGN RELATIONS? >> EXACTLY. IT'S A FOREIGN POLICY ISSUE. THEY TALK ABOUT THE UNITED. STATES AND THE COUNTRIES AROUND. THE WORLD BEING AFFECTED BY. THIS. THIS COULD BE COVERED IN A MORE. HONEST WAY BUT IT'S ALWAYS. ABOUT, OH, IS THIS GOING TO HURT. THE PRESIDENT IN THE MIDTERMS? IS THAT WISE WHAT THE PRESIDENT. SAID? IT'S LIKE, THAT'S NOT THAT. INTERESTING. THIS IS A VERY DEEP STORY, AND I.

THINK IT IS TO SPEAK TO WHAT. HAROLD SAID. I DON'T THINK IT IS A MORE. DESTABILIZED TIME IN THE MIDDLE. EAST. THERE ARE -- YOU KNOW THERE IS A. 15-COUNTRY COALITION WITH SAUDI. ARABIA AT THE HEAD. THEY ARE OUT THERE -- IT IS --. IRAN IS NOT PART OF THAT THEY. ARE BOXING IRAN OUT, SO -- TO. CALL THEM ALLIES WOULD BE TOO. STRONG BUT THERE ARE MANY. MISSILE EASTERN SUPPORTERS OF. WHAT THE UNITED STATES IS DOING. AND THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE KIND.

OF LIKE WINK-WINK. IRAN IS PROBABLY AT ITS WEAKEST. EVER WHICH MEANS THE MIDDLE EAST. IS PROBABLY MORE STABLE. >> THE ONLY REASON I SAID, YOU. COULD VERY WELL BE RIGHT, IN MY. LIFETIME THE STRAIT HAS NEVER. BEEN OWNED BY THE IRANIANS. IN MY LIFETIME WE'VE NOT SEEN. THIS KIND OF SUSTAINED DISLIKE. OF OUR GREATEST ALLY, ARGUABLY. IN THE WORLD, THE ISRAELIS, AND. IT'S A LOT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S. HAMMING IN THE DE STABILIZATION. I WANT YOU TO BE RIGHT BUT IF WE. LEAVE NOW ONE OF THE REASONS WE. CAN IS BECAUSE OUR GULF ALLIES,

IF YOU DO NOW YOU WILL ESTABLISH. THE IRANIANS AS THE LEADER OF. THE REGION. AGAIN, I HOPE I'M WRONG BUT AS. YOU LOOK AT THIS FROM AFAR COULD. YOU HAVE BETH OF OUR TAKES ON. IT, BUT I JUST DON'T -- THE. MILITARY IS DECIMATED BUT THE. CHINESE AND RUSSIANS ARE. PROVIDING WEAPONS IN IRAN. >> I WOULD LOOK AT FALL OF. AFGHANISTAN WHICH ON THE ON JOE. BIDEN'S WATCH. IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT A DE. STABLE MIDDLE EAST --. >> LBJ, HE WAS CRUSHED ON. FOREIGN POLICY.

HE WAS A DEMOCRAT. >> -- I.
