Olivia Gazis with CBS News.
2
Two questions for you, Mr. Secretary.
3
See, they always cheat.
4
My American people, though, your guy asked one question, and they always ask two, they get one, but they ask two.
5
Go ahead.
6
There's a lot of news in the world.
7
They're always cheating.
8
We've got to do a rule here.
9
Maximalists.
10
I know you are both well -versed in fielding.
11
Well, sometimes it's three, it's not even two, it's three, so she's being reasonable.
12
Go ahead.
13
Thank you very much.
14
Mr. Secretary, yesterday the Vice President said that Iran needed to do something meaningful to its nuclear enrichment capacity.
15
Is that to say that the U .S is now open to an enrichment capacity above zero in Iran?
16
I don't think it means that.
17
This is my second question, if you don't mind.
18
If I may, amid increasing congressional scrutiny of Ambassador Guilfoyle's tenure here, I'm wondering, Mr. Secretary, if you've personally reviewed some of those allegations
19
and are confident that all is in compliance with State Department ethics.
20
If you'd like to answer, then I can pose the question to the minister.
21
Pose what question to the minister?
22
I'll just do the third question to the minister that is just the only question to them
23
Fucking got her.
24
Oh my god.
25
He called it.
26
Yeah, minister Yeah, look on the second question Well, this is not the forum where we're going to address that.
27
It's as simple as that.
28
Suffice it to say, our embassy here is doing a great job.
29
Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here.
30
The questions you're asking me, we're not addressing those at press conferences in Greece with a foreign minister and in another country.
31
That said, on your first question, look, it's very certain.
32
I don't understand what the confusion is about the nuclear program.
33
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
34
Simple period and end of story.
35
I'm not going to go into the details about what would be acceptable or not.
36
I can tell you this, that they're not going to ever have a nuclear program.
37
And anything they agreed to
38
that would be acceptable to the United States has to be something that ensures that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
39
That is what our position is.
40
That is the reason why this began.
41
And it's important to understand, and I've raised this multiple times, I'll raise it again.
42
What Iran was trying to do was build up a conventional capability so massive that they would become untouchable.
43
In essence, they would come to the world in a year or two and say, you can't attack us.
44
We're going to build a nuclear weapon, and there's nothing you can do about it because we have
45
so many missiles and so many drones that if you try to do anything about our nuclear program, we will wipe out every country in the Middle East.
46
We will drive the U .S forces out of the region.
47
We can do whatever we want.
48
That is what they were trying to achieve.
49
The president of the United States, Donald J.
50
Trump, was never going to allow that to happen.
51
He just wasn't.
52
He addressed something that had been ignored for far too long.
53
And so he destroyed their drone program, their drone manufacturing capability.
54
He destroyed their...
55
One of the big things that I like about Rubio is that he always attributes this to Donald Trump.
56
And it's not because necessarily it's Donald Trump.
57
It's because this means that this is a guy that's loyal, that's playing for the team.
58
Right?
59
Like this guy's on the team and he understands the way that it works, right?
60
That's a ride or die.
61
It's respect.
62
Absolutely.
63
So my capability, he severely eroded both of those capabilities in terms of current launchers.
64
He destroyed their Navy.
65
He destroyed their Air Force.
66
They are far less powerful militarily today than they were.
67
And that line of immunity they were trying to hide behind has been erased.
68
They will never have a nuclear weapon, period.
69
Not as long as President Trump is in office.
70
And that, to us, is the bright line.
71
Now, how you achieve that and so forth, you know, I think they've had multiple opportunities in the past to reach agreements on those things.
72
They have failed to do so.
73
Now they're facing crippling sanctions.
74
Their economy is in total and complete free fall.
75
I'm happy that, for the first time, even the media in the U .S is beginning to cover what a bad situation Iran faces.
76
The Straits of Hormuz are open.
77
There's almost as much oil flowing out now as there was before this conflict began, so they've lost complete control of the Straits.
78
And their economy, and it's not only in free fall now, the Iranian economy is about to reach a place
79
that few countries in the world have been in terms of how bad it's going to get.
80
And it's all the fault, all the fault of the radical Shia clerics that make the decisions in
81
that country they are the ones
82
that have put the poor people of iran in the situation
83
that they're in because every dollar and every penny that
84
that regime gets they don't spend it on roads or bridges
85
or helping improve the lives of the iranian people they spend
86
that money on hezbo and hamas and militias
87
that fire rockets out of iraq
88
and the houthis that's who they spend their money on they should have spent their money on their people
89
and instead they spend their money on terrorism and on weapons
90
so hopefully that'll change
91
but um yeah don't know that'll change right ever have a
92
nuclear weapon thank you very much oh my god bro i love it
93
and uh yeah i think this is again like some of the like him going after these orders is
94
so good sun comes up back home
95
and it's got to be quick yeah what's up are you
96
asking the allies in europe are you asking the allies to follow america first policy
97
or to find their i'm asking our allies to be strong
98
the stronger they are the stronger we are collectively that's always
99
been the theme we want a strong europe we want strong
100
partners in europe we have you know every country is different obviously they're making different decisions but for example in Greece, Portugal, where we're going today, there are many countries that have stepped up,
101
frankly the Germans, who are stepping up and doing their part to be stronger.
102
The stronger, it's a very simple concept, it's not very complicated, guys.
103
NATO is a collection of countries that have created an alliance.
104
The stronger the individual members of NATO are, both societally, economically, and militarily, the stronger NATO is.
105
And that's what we want, and that's what we've been asking for.
106
And I think there's good signs in a lot of different places where that's happening, and obviously there's some countries that are dragging
107
and I know they have a lot of domestic pressure but I think this is good for all of us.
108
He really is good at answering questions, man.
109
He is.
110
The reporting from the Wall Street Journal that Ambassador Guilfoyle had sought finance...
111
Yeah, guys, let me tell you something, okay?
112
You guys are going to ask me this, you're going to ask me again in Portugal.
113
I know the game, okay?
114
The game is someone gives information to a newspaper or a media outlet.
115
The media outlet reports it.
116
You immediately turn to me and say, I need you to respond to our reporting.
117
That's not the way this process works like our job is
118
immediately bro like thank you yes that's exactly what they do they create the problem
119
and then now you have to solve it exactly thank god
120
he just shuts it down right at the source newspaper
121
or a media outlet the media outlet reports it you immediately turn to me
122
and say i need you to respond to our reporting oh
123
that's not the way this process works like Our job is
124
not to respond every time someone decides to give the media something without any advance warning, without having any chance to look at it and see what's in there.
125
That's not the way you run an organization, and that's not a serious way to conduct a policy of our country.
126
So I'm not going to comment on a story that literally posted a few hours ago.
127
I get the game, okay?
128
I've been in this for a long time.
129
Within hours, a member of Congress will write you a letter demanding you answer questions to something we've never seen before.
130
I don't even know if it's true or not true.
131
So it's just not going to work that way.
132
And it most certainly is not going to work that way when I'm sitting in another country.
133
All right.
134
Just shuts it the fuck down.
135
Oh, man.
136
He knows what they're up to.
137
Yeah.
138
I am.
139
Guys, I'm not playing this game with you.
140
OK, you guys write a story and then your editors tell you, make sure you get a comment from him on something we haven't seen.
141
OK, you guys are not going to be our only source of information in the world.
142
I'm sorry to tell you that.
143
And so I want you to understand.
144
No, that's not the way the process is going to work
145
the process well the first of all the process doesn't work
146
like this we don't conduct these things in a press conference on a tarmac in a foreign country
147
because you wrote a story or somebody else wrote a story
148
because some source gave it to you so get
149
that out of your head
150
because that's never the way it's going to work with me
151
it's a game that's been played for a long time
152
but it's not a game we're going to play we're can't
153
holy holy he just gets it this is what they do yes this is exactly what they do
154
and again like you just and
155
and by the way this is the way you win the game you simply refuse to play
156
we're conducting serious business here
157
and we'll handle things appropriately i don't even know what you're reporting is true you guys somehow walk around thinking
158
that because some source told you something
159
and you reported it it's the gospel it's not the gospel
160
it's not the gospel for me That's not the way we do it.
161
Why did you feel like it was important right now to deliver the message you did last night?
162
Can you talk about the timing of the speech?
163
Well, it's a consistent message.
164
I mean, the setting, obviously, is very unique because this is where democracy began.
165
This is where so many of the pillars and the foundations of the West are from.
166
And so it was a very unique setting, obviously, and an opportunity to do it.
167
But I think in many ways it also, I think, reinforces our ties to Greece, which is really a model ally.
168
And we wanted to make sure that came across as well.
169
Are Iranian threats constraining where the U .S can operate in Europe and within NATO territory?
170
No. The United States has the ability to operate.
171
There is nothing we want or need to do against Iran that we can't still do.
172
Can you compare and contrast Portugal and its support for the Iran operation with that of its immediate neighbor, Spain?
173
Can I compare and contrast it?
174
The purpose of our visit is not to start a problem
175
with another country portugal is a it's crazy to watch somebody that knows the game
176
he knows exactly what they're doing he he just he knows bro it's fucking obvious high school level questions i know
177
great ally very cooperative ally of the united states a country with
178
which we already have a solid and growing relationship
179
and we visit these countries in order to reinforce those ties
180
that's the purpose of the trip okay all right let's go
181
home well not yet we got to stop unfortunately all right thank you all right jesus man
182
jesus i just i i really love to see this i do it's great the amount of times
183

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
