Tara Servatius grieves US troops, slams Iran MOU, and demands China action.

What this episode covers

Tara Servatius: Absolutely tragic. Loss of three of our troops over the weekend. We have two names now, including—and this just rips my heart out—one beautiful 19... oh, just 19-year-old. Oh, my gosh. Heartbreaking. Now, you know that when you sign up to serve in our military, you know that that could happen. But what's so heartbreaking is it didn't have to. It didn't have to. Look, this is the last day on which I want to say, "I told you so." But I told you so. I did. I said this—this MOU that Vance cut was a disaster. It removed the blockade, which let the Chinese run through with ballistic missiles. It lifted, for the first time in decades, the primary and secondary sanctions, with no restrictions of any kind on what Iran could sell, could spend the money on. Even Democrats wouldn't dare do that. And all of it just in exchange for talking to JD Vance for 60 days. That's it. That's all they had to do. Gave them control of the strait. Said, "Hey, go ahead and put together a tolling authority so you can take over after 60 days." It was a reward for killing our troops—seven of them in cold blood throughout the beginning of the conflict. I don't count all 15, because some of them died during the war in other countries—nothing to do with the war, it was, you know, mistakes and accidents and things like that that aren't Iran-attributable. But seven, absolutely murdered. Murdered by who? Iran and Communist China. Remember, did the satellite targeting. I was appalled when Trump went to China. I was absolutely—I wanted to... I'd just absolutely throw up. They had killed our troops; they did the targeting. And you reward them with a visit? You treat them like they're just somebody you sit across the table at? Can you imagine what that was like for the families of those who know their kids were murdered by China, by the targeting that China did to help Iran? And now Wall Street Journal reporting they're doing it again, after Trump said that China had told him they weren't going to? What were those kids killed with? And they were kids—21 years old, 19 years old. Missiles. What missiles? The ones that Trump said Iran should have. Donald Trump (audio clip): "I mean, they have to have some because other people have some. You got to have some. Somebody said, 'You shouldn't give them one.' And I have guys—I like some of these guys, but I don't think they're smart—'Sir, you shouldn't let them have any missiles!' I said, 'Well, what am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can't have them?' Yes! Yes, that's what you're going to do. It doesn't work that way, you know. It doesn't work that way, and missiles aren't the problem. Missiles are—they hurt a little location, but they don't blow up the planet." Tara Servatius: No, they just kill our troops. I said—I predicted on this radio show that Iran would use those missiles to kill our troops. I was very specific about it, and I was pre-devastated about it. You know I've been in recent weeks. That MOU has me very down. We just quit fighting. We rolled over, we started trashing Israel harder than Iran. We switched sides. We switched sides! And Trump even admitted he had left 30% of the targets. Well, you know what? Three troops are dead. Exactly as I said it would go. It wasn't brilliant strategery, it wasn't chess; it was Trump getting taken for a ride by JD Vance and Jared Kushner—two people who should never be anywhere near a negotiating table ever again. Here's Trump admitting, "Yeah, I left them with 30% of their capacity": Reporter (audio clip): "Is it accurate to say you think the combat operations are over and done, but there may be..." Donald Trump (audio clip): "No, I didn't say that. I said they are—they are defeated, but that doesn't mean they're done. We could go in for two more weeks and do every single target. We've done probably 70% of them, but we have other targets that we could conceivably hit." Tara Servatius: War's not perfect; pe ...
