U.S. & Israel PLOT Lebanon CIVIL WAR
What was said
"We see what happens. So far it hasn't happened might happen. Uh but we take care of things. If something like that happens, we take care of it."
The show discussed Houthi statements warning that Saudi-flagged ships, or vessels docking at Saudi ports, would be barred from transiting the Bab el-Mandeb strait, and said some Saudi tankers had already turned around following the threat. In an Oval Office exchange played on the programme, Trump said the US would "take care" of the situation if a blockade materialised, while the hosts noted a separate US-Houthi ceasefire described as bilateral.
