1 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts now. 2 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: War out of President has just issued a truth social 3 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: from the White House saying this based on conversations with 4 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Sharif and Field Marshall, I meaner a Pakistan 5 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive 6 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: force being sent tonight to Iran and subject to the 7 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and 8 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: safe opening of the straight upore moves, I agree to 9 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period 10 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: of two weeks. This will be a double sided cease fire. 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: The reason for doing so is that we have already 12 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: along with a definitive agreement concerning long term peace with 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: Iran and peace in the Middle East. We received a 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: ten point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable. 16 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: Basis on which to negotiate. 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Almost all of the various points of pass contention have 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but 19 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: a two week period will allow the agreement to be 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: finalized and consummated on behalf of the United States of America. 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: As President and also representing the countries of the Middle East. 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: It is an honor to have this long term problem 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter, 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: President Donald J. 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: Trump. 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: It is training at around ninety dollars today after closing 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: near one hundred and ten yesterday, a drop of by 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: more than fifteen percent. 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: And this is a big deal. One of the reasons, 30 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Daga and you're seeing. 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 4: The oil price tumbling is because Trump has made it 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: very clear that one key provision that has to be 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 4: agreed to by the Iranians is to open up the Strait. 34 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 5: Are saying that oil tankers passing through the strait have 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 5: been stopped because of Israel's cease fire breach. 36 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 6: See that that going on. 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: Asked President Trump if he's okay with that, if he's 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: okay with Iran charging a toll, and his answer was 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: quite stunning. 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: He said, maybe it will be a joint venture. 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 7: And I said, a joint venture between the US and Iran, 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 7: And he. 43 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 8: Said, yes, it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 6: Maybe we'll do that. 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 9: The President has told us not to use those tools. 46 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 9: He's told us to come to the negotiating table. But 47 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 9: if the Iranians don't do the exact same thing. They're 48 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 9: going to find out that the President of the United 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 9: States is not one to mess around. He's impatient, he's 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 9: impatient to make progress. He has told us to negotiating 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 9: good faith, and I think if they negotiating good faith, 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 9: we will be able to find a deal with That's 53 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 9: a big if, and ultimately it's up to the Iranians 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 9: with how they negotiate. 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: I hope they make the right decision. I think go 56 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: breaking with oh faith. 57 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 10: No, they're not. 58 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 11: I think they go up breaking at all. 59 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: It's faith. 60 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 6: I think it's been very bad, very bad, not good 61 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 6: at all. 62 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Maybe we may go to a fred. 63 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 11: I don't know what Spain's doing. 64 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: They've been very banned in NATO. 65 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 11: They get protected. 66 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: They don't want to pay. 67 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 11: Their fair share, and they've been that way for many years. 68 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: That includes ten separate points. 69 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 12: Some of them include the US guaranteeing a non aggression 70 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 12: pack with Iran, continuing Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, 71 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 12: acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program, 72 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 12: removal of all primary sanctions on Iran, removal of secondary sanctions, 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 12: an end of all UN Security Council resolutions against Iran, 74 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 12: an end to the IAEA's resolutions on Iran's nuclear program, 75 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 12: compensation payment for Iran and it's war damage, withdrawal of 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 12: US forces from the region, at a ceasefire on all fronts. 77 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 5: This is now new video we're getting in of vessels 78 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 5: in the Key Waterway and at some point you can 79 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 5: see these rock islands sitting right along the passageway for 80 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 5: tankers and ships like that one there. We believe that 81 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 5: some of these islands are still armed by Iran's regime. 82 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 5: We also believed some of these islands were hit directly 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 5: on behalf of the US military and Israel's air force 84 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 5: as well. 85 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Our troops, our. 86 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 7: American warriors deserved a credit for this day, but God 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 7: deserves all the build tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 7: and strikes carried out under the protection of Divine Providence, 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 7: a massive effort. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we 90 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 7: all know it. Operation Epic Fury was a historic and 91 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 7: overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital v military victory. 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 7: You see, had Iran refused our terms, the next targets 93 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 7: would have been their power plants, the bridges and oil 94 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 7: and energy infrastructure targets they could not defend and could 95 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 7: not realistically rebuild. It would have taken them decades, and 96 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 7: we were locked and loaded. 97 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 9: Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information 98 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 9: coming from every angle, but the will to deceive. 99 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 8: I fear not. 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 13: You found the place for truth, the voice of a 101 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 13: generation that still has the will to believe in the 102 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 13: greatest country. 103 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 8: In the history of the world. 104 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. 105 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 6: Fuck a lot. 106 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Here we go on. 107 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 14: All right, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is 108 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 14: April eighth, twenty twenty six. We are here at the 109 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 14: y re Fi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. 110 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 8: Welcome Blake. 111 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 6: Howdy. 112 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 14: Blake's deep in thought. Already lots of news. I mean, 113 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 14: I don't think that is a chakra for any of 114 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 14: you in the audience. 115 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 8: Tons of news. Obviously, we have. 116 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 14: A tentative, as Jade Vance says, a fragile piece that 117 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 14: has been struck, a two week piece deal with Iran. 118 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 14: But already we are seeing fractures and fissures. 119 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 8: This might not last, not last till the end of this. 120 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 14: So we're going to see if this two week peace 121 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 14: deal last at the ends of the show. We don't know, 122 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 14: so let's just go through all the facts. So a 123 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 14: peace deal was reached about ninety minutes before the eight 124 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 14: pm Eastern deadline that President Trump had set where he 125 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 14: was going to the famous truth now basically end a civilization. 126 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 14: I personally didn't think that that ever met nuclear weapons. 127 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 14: We talked about that on the show yesterday. Nevertheless, it 128 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 14: got through. The message got through. There was actually an 129 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 14: interesting tweet by a friend of the show, Will Chamberlain, 130 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 14: who basically said thank you to all of the people 131 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 14: that were assuming the worst, because it actually may have 132 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 14: helped convince Iron to come to the peace table, the 133 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 14: peace negotiation table. There was obviously intermediation going on on 134 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 14: behalf of Pakistan and the prime minister there, But I 135 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 14: think it's important also to note that. 136 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 8: China played a huge role in this. 137 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 14: China exerted a force at the last minute on behalf 138 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 14: of I think by way of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. 139 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 14: I think it's safe to say China is probably one 140 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 14: of the beneficiaries of the cut rate oil that Iran 141 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 14: was pumping out into the marketplace. So China wanted this 142 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 14: deal to get done. Probably also because China has an 143 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 14: interest in the long term stability of the existing regime 144 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 14: or the framework that still exists, and other reasons. So 145 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 14: watch China in all of this. I just don't want 146 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 14: to make that very clear. That was reported by the 147 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 14: New York Times that China played a huge role at 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 14: the end there. 149 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 8: So we have this ten point plan. 150 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 14: The White House is reporting that it is a different 151 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 14: ten point plan than. 152 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 8: The one that we have been previously seen that. 153 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 15: Plan. 154 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 16: We have allegedly a ceasefire to negotiate based off of 155 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 16: our frame fifteen point plan and their ten point plan 156 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 16: that is allegedly different than the one they'd given us before. 157 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 14: Yes, So what is also interesting here is what happens 158 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 14: to the Strait of Horn Moves. Okay, so previously oil 159 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 14: tankers were able to navigate the straight freely. That was 160 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 14: what was the previous status quo. Now it looks like 161 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 14: what could be the case is that there will be 162 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 14: tolls exacted upon tankers that go through the strait. President 163 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 14: Trump has told Jonathan Carl that that could be more 164 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 14: of a joint venture. 165 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 8: That sounds like something he'd get on board. 166 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 14: It does sound like something he'd get on board with 167 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 14: let's team up to do tariffs. 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, tariff. 169 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 14: So why this is noteworthy is again the previous status 170 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 14: quo you go through freely. Now you got to pay 171 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 14: a toll. Maybe it's a joint venture US and Iran 172 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 14: partnering in that. Maybe Iran just charges them unilaterally. We're 173 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 14: not sure how this is going to shake out, but 174 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 14: it is a massive new precedent to be set. Means 175 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 14: there could be tolls exacted on straights and canals all 176 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 14: through the world if this ends up taking place. So 177 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 14: that's something that we need to keep a lookout for 178 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 14: in the future. 179 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 8: It's relatively nominal. 180 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 14: And if you get peace and you get the straight 181 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 14: back opened and you get tolls, I suppose that a 182 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 14: deal a lot of people would probably be willing to make. 183 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 8: All right, Well, where we're at now. 184 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 16: Though, But the big problem now is we say this, 185 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 16: there is a ceasefire. It is time to last for 186 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 16: two weeks while they negotiate, But as we said, it 187 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 16: might not last till the end of this program because 188 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 16: it's not one clear if. 189 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 8: It's going on right now. 190 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 16: Well, there is still a lot of reports of explosions, 191 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 16: missiles being fired at Israel at Kuwait, at other targets. 192 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 8: And then this is. 193 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 16: Also a big one. There is a disagreement over the 194 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 16: scope of the ceasefire. In addition to the air campaign 195 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 16: and missile campaign against Iran and in the Gulf, there's 196 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 16: also been an Israeli ground operation and bombing operation in Lebanon, 197 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 16: in fact that I believe it's killed more people than 198 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 16: the Iran missile exchanges. 199 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 8: And Iran and Pakistan. 200 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 16: Claim that that part of the conflict is covered by 201 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 16: this ceasefire, but Israel claims it's not, and now just 202 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 16: breaking in the last few minutes, the United States says 203 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 16: it's not, and that's a pretty big point of disagreement. 204 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 14: Well, and why this matters is because now Iran is 205 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 14: reportedly threatening tankers that are trying to navigate the strait. 206 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 14: So the strait is for all intents and purposes once 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 14: again closed. Now a few tankers I believe got through earlier, 208 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 14: but it is now halted. Those that movement has been 209 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 14: halted because they are claiming Israel has violated the terms 210 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 14: of the ceasefire. But we just don't know if Hesbealah 211 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 14: and southern Lebanon was included at all. So there's disagreements 212 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 14: on that. We've got a lot to unpack here. There's 213 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 14: I think a really important press conference. It's going to 214 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 14: be had at one pm Caroline Levett White House Press Conference. 215 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 14: So we are going to be throwing to that live 216 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 14: later in the hour two because there's a lot of 217 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 14: details that remain unclear. What are the details of the 218 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 14: new ten point plan, how much does it reflect the 219 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 14: previously reported ten point plan. What's gonna happen with the 220 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 14: Strait of horn Moose? Are we really seriously looking at 221 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 14: charging tariffs and tolls to navigate the strait. There's a 222 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 14: lot to unpack here, but I think most importantly this 223 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 14: is what's gonna happen. And Blake and I were talking 224 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 14: about this right before the show started. Everybody's going to 225 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 14: declare victory, right, so we're seeing reports that they are 226 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 14: waving Iranian flags in Tehran and that they are claiming victory. 227 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 14: Pete Hegseth gave a press conference this morning claiming victory 228 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 14: with a capital V. Sometimes in war there is not 229 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 14: really a clear victor, and I. 230 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 8: Think that's one of the This is one of those instances. 231 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 14: Would Iran have preferred to not been bombed and have 232 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 14: eighty to ninety percent of their military apparatus destroyed, their 233 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 14: manufacturing apparatus destroyed, of course, but would could you make 234 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 14: the argument that this was a bit of a pyrrhic 235 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 14: victory on behalf of the United States in the sense that, yes, 236 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 14: we had have air superiority, we decimated much of their 237 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 14: military industrial complex, but the strait was open before and 238 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 14: now that remains in question. And if we remove sanctions 239 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 14: on a Ran in oil and energy and other products 240 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 14: that they make from its petroleum, will Iran emerge stronger 241 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 14: in the wake of this, And that's a huge potential here. 242 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 16: I spoke with a friend of mine who's good on 243 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 16: foreign policy stuff, and he says, the likely long term 244 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 16: goal here, probably to get a permanent peace deal, might 245 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 16: have to be you would agree, which Auran has been 246 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 16: fighting for for Basically, the ideal deal we could make 247 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 16: is they actually do back off from their nuclear deal, 248 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 16: but in return we do fully regularize our relationship with them, 249 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 16: which means you remove sanctions, you normalize trade, and yeah, 250 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 16: you let them toll the straight. They're saying it might 251 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 16: be one dollar per barrel for oil going through it, 252 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 16: So that's not that's about you, maybe like a three 253 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 16: four percent tax tariff on all oil going out, But 254 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 16: I think. 255 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 8: You have to say. 256 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 16: We said at the outset, the best way to sell 257 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 16: this war is if it is the last war of 258 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 16: the US fights in the Middle East, And the only 259 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 16: way that's going to happen is if we have a 260 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 16: government in Iran we can treat as a normal country. 261 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 14: Well, and there does remain so, and we want to 262 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 14: get into this in the next segment. There was a 263 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 14: massive report out of the New York Times by two 264 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 14: relatively trustworthy reporters, and we could some of it could 265 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 14: be fake news. It's apparent to me that the story 266 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 14: has been worked by those mentioned in it. But that's 267 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 14: Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times. 268 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 14: They have a really a breathtaking expose of how this 269 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 14: war got underway, and we're going to break that down 270 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 14: for you and explain what that means moving forward. But 271 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 14: in the meantime, I want to tell you about Strong Cell. 272 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 14: Strong Cell is a great partner of this show. 273 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 17: Here. 274 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 14: It is a little two ounce bottle with delicious I 275 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 14: would call it orange, but maybe mango, something citrusy. It's 276 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 14: just orange cellular function booster. It's got NADH. Now here's 277 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 14: the deal. A lot of you have probably heard of 278 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 14: NAD and you're taking NAD. Not NADH so bad for absorption, 279 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 14: or you're taking it encapsule form also not good for absorption. 280 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 14: NADH better for absorption, and this is a liquid formula 281 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 14: better for absorption. So this is gonna really outperform a 282 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 14: lot of the other let's just call them other NAD 283 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 14: products on the market. This is an amazing, amazing breakthrough product. 284 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 14: It gets it straight to your cells.

All right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 290 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 14: Lots of news coming in. Apologies, we're taking it all in. 291 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 14: There's a new truth from President Trump that I want 292 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 14: to get here, says numerous agreements, lists and letters are 293 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 14: being sent out by people that have absolutely nothing to 294 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 14: do with the USA Roun negotiation. In many cases they 295 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 14: are total fraudsters, Charlatan's and worse, they will be rapidly 296 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 14: exposed after our federal investigation is completed. There is only 297 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 14: one group of meaningful points, and we will be discussing 298 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 14: them behind closed doors during these negotiations. These are the 299 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 14: points that are the basis on which we agreed to 300 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 14: a ceasefire. It is something that is reasonable and can 301 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 14: easily be dispensed with. It is very much like fake 302 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 14: new CNN last night headlining a source that had no 303 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 14: power or authority to write a letter claiming great authority 304 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 14: President Donald J. 305 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 8: Trump. So a lot of back. 306 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 14: And forth about what the actual source is here, Blake 307 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 14: who what the ten points are? Again, just to underscore 308 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 14: the point, to make it extremely clear. They're calling it 309 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 14: the foundation for a negotiation, not that the points have 310 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 14: been agreed to. President Trump says, many of the points 311 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 14: have already been sort of sorted out, but there remains 312 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 14: some sticking points. Obviously, I think that it has to 313 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 14: be a different deal than what was previously reported because 314 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 14: the previous one was completely unworkable. There was things that 315 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 14: we would never agree to in that previous ten point plan. 316 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 14: So President Trump doing his best to clarify this. Okay, 317 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 14: I want to get into this New York Times expos 318 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 14: because everybody that I know was sending me this thing yesterday. 319 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 14: It was going all around basically, and Blake fill fill 320 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 14: in the gaps that I miss here. It explains that 321 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 14: bb net and Yahoo, in an extraordinary moment, was essentially 322 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 14: presented his case in the intel behind his pitch to 323 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 14: attack Iran. 324 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 8: But he did it in the situation room. 325 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 14: He did it in the situation room before Obviously, all 326 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 14: this happens in February, which, as far as I'm aware, 327 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 14: is the first time a leader of a foreign government 328 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 14: had done something like that inside the situation room. Gathered 329 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 14: around the table was obviously President Trump, his chief of Staff, 330 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 14: Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, jd Vance apparently couldn't 331 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 14: make it back in time for this initial meeting. 332 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 8: Who else am I missing? 333 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 14: John Radcliff from the CIA Raisin Cain joint chiefs. So 334 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 14: there it was an extraordinarily small meeting, but with all 335 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 14: the firepower in the US military, with bb net Yahoo 336 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 14: doing a pitch in the situation room, and he presented 337 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 14: four points basically that he thought that they could do 338 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 14: a decapitation move take out the leadership, that they could 339 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 14: essentially wipe out the military of Iran really successfully. But 340 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 14: then points three and four were more controversial. 341 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 16: Basically, Blake, I don't know if you want to could 342 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 16: quality claim it was a four point plan. It was 343 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 16: take out as you said, take out the Ayatola, take 344 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 16: out the military. But then he had this boulder claim 345 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 16: that there would be able to line uprisings within Iran, 346 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 16: either invasions by Kurds or just dissidents within the country. 347 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 16: And then point four there would be a full regime 348 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 16: change to a secular leader who would be pro Western 349 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 16: and friendly to the United States. 350 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 14: This is where it gets really interesting. So gathered around 351 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 14: that table where the characters I just mentioned, they meet afterwards, 352 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 14: then jd. Vance makes it back, gets a briefing. Now 353 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 14: he's part of this discussion, and essentially John Radcliffe, Marco Rubio, 354 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 14: and JD. Vance all called bs on zero point three 355 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 14: and four. And Raisin Kine made an observation that I 356 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 14: think is one of those things that is going to 357 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 14: linger in our collective consciousness for a long time. He said, 358 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 14: the Israelis tend to over sell and underdeliver. Their intel 359 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 14: is inflated. So what happened is they go around the 360 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 14: table again they meet. I think basically within that week, 361 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 14: jade Vance said, you know what I think, Sir President 362 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 14: Trump asked for ever his opinion. Jadevan says, you know what, 363 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 14: I think, Sirrh's a bad idea, but if you do it, I'll. 364 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 8: Support you for a number of reasons. 365 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 14: Marco Rubio says, if you want to go in for 366 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 14: points one and two, then I think you should do it. 367 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 14: But if you think three and four are going to happen, 368 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 14: you shouldn't. Because he called it BS, but he used 369 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 14: the real world word raising. Kaine is sort of described 370 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 14: as this guy who's not offering his opinions necessarily on 371 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 14: whether he thinks it's right or wrong, but he's gives 372 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 14: the details to the question the president asks. 373 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 8: And I think there's some reticence there. 374 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 14: Susie Willer said, you know, basically described it's not Yeah. 375 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 16: What stands out here if you read it, is, at 376 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 16: least in this report by the New York Times, which 377 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 16: is presumably based on all the people a bunch of 378 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 16: the people involved in these conversations talking to the New 379 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 16: York Times or their staff talking to the New York Times, 380 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 16: no one is really willing to take ownership for launching 381 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 16: the war other than the president himself. The narrative told 382 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 16: in this story is almost everyone on the president is skeptical, 383 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 16: but the President. 384 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 8: Wants to go for it, right. That is the story 385 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 8: they tell. 386 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 14: So it's obvious to me that the story has been worked. 387 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 14: But we have not seen much pushback from the administration 388 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 14: saying it's not true. We haven't seen pushback from the 389 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 14: staff saying it's not true. We haven't even seen, as 390 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 14: far as I am aware, that any pushback from the Israelis. 391 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 14: So I would say the basic structure of this agreement 392 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 14: is true, and it reflects other things that I'd sort 393 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 14: of heard privately about who was rushing in or who 394 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 14: wasn't rushing into this thing. 395 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 8: I think the takeaway for me is a couple things. 396 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 14: But namely, there's been a lot of debate whether or 397 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 14: not President Trump got quote unquote dog walked into this war. 398 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 14: My conclusion, based on this report in this expose, plus 399 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 14: all of the footage that we've seen of President Trump 400 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 14: throughout the years, is that no. I think maybe there 401 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 14: was confirmation bias, you can make that argument, but President 402 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 14: Trump seems to have basically made the decision that he 403 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 14: wanted to do this. He's wanted to hit Iran for 404 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 14: a long time. And I will say this, this is 405 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 14: my last point, and they'll get your take, Blake, do 406 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 14: not underestimate the significance of Iran attempting to assassinate President Trump, 407 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 14: whether they actually did attempt it or signaled their intention 408 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 14: to do it, that will leave an incredible, indelible imprint 409 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 14: on anybody's psyche. And I think you take that back 410 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 14: to the fact that the older Americans remember being insulted 411 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 14: by Iran, the Iranian hostage crisis and the like, and 412 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 14: it's been a thorn in the side of the United 413 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 14: States for long enough that I think President Trump was 414 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 14: the man who wanted to make the decision. Whereas you 415 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 14: get younger generations like JD. Marco, they were less enthusiastic. 416 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 16: Blake, your take, I think that's very possible, and you 417 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 16: want to be careful with that, or I am taken 418 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 16: back to when we overthrew Saddam Hussein, which a lot 419 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 16: of the argument from the left was Bush did thistly 420 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 16: for sentimental reasons that his dad hadn't taken out Saddam 421 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 16: and that was why he'd lost reelection, and he had 422 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 16: to go back and finish the job. There was a 423 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 16: lot of there was a big lobby to overthrow Saddam 424 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 16: well before nine to eleven happened, like nine to eleven 425 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 16: essentially just offered the excuse to do it. And if 426 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 16: you're correct, that's kind of the feeling I get here. 427 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 16: You are the president has thought about Ron for literally decades. 428 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 8: He does remember the hostage crisis. 429 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 16: Those are things that would all motivate him, but that's 430 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 16: not necessarily the best reason to launch a war, which 431 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 16: was really expensive and risky. 432 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 14: And I think there's a couple other takeaways here. I 433 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 14: do think there is a possibility here with after Venezuela, 434 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 14: maybe there was a sense that this would be a 435 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 14: greater risk, but the glory would be even greater as well, 436 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 14: and that we could get in get out quickly. I 437 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 14: think other people like Jade Vance, Marco Rubio Ratcliffe had 438 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 14: a little bit more hesitancy because this is a lie. 439 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 8: This is a line that's worth emphasizing. 440 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 16: It also reports in the same article that he called 441 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 16: Tucker Carlson and he said it's going to be okay. 442 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 8: Tucker has why and he says, because it always is 443 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 8: Tocsin Islamabad begin on Friday. You see how let's go. 444 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 14: Jonathan Kieperman joins US now. 445 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 18: From the dollars convertibility into gold ended in nineteen seventy one, 446 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 18: gold was fixed at about thirty five dollars an ounce. 447 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 6: Fast forward to. 448 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 18: Today, and the US dollar has lost over eighty five 449 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 18: percent of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, 450 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 18: has increased in value by over twelve thousand percent, and 451 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 18: that's why central banks are buying gold at record levels. 452 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 18: It's also why major firms like Vanguarden Blackrock hold significant 453 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 18: positions in gold, and it's why we encourage you to 454 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 18: consider diversifying your savings into physical gold with the Birch 455 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 18: Gold Group.

And we wanted to have him on because 525 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 14: so much has been made about the Maga fracturing over 526 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 14: the conflict in Iran, and we're not through it yet. 527 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 14: We're not through the straight of horn Moose. Yet we're 528 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 14: not through this yet. I don't think so, Jonathan, welcome 529 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 14: back to the show. It's so good to have man. 530 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 19: Blake and Andrew. It's great to be here. And I 531 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 19: appreciate the praise. I always love hearing that from you guys, 532 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 19: So I could get used to hearing that every day. 533 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 14: I try to, you know, it's it's got to take 534 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 14: you back on We've. 535 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 16: Got a visual here running from left to right, like 536 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 16: no hair, medium hair, extremely large amount of hair. 537 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: This is after peptides. Okay, they have peptides for this, 538 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: so listen. 539 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 8: I just got a haircut, not long ago. Okay, whatever 540 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 8: you say, Andrew. 541 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 14: So Jonathan, let's just get your viewpoint first of all 542 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 14: on where we're at with the ceasefire, and then we'll 543 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 14: get into the way the movement has reacted to it. 544 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, you know, just to set the table 545 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 19: for for your listeners. You know, this is something I 546 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 19: talk about quite a lot on the show with with 547 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 19: Chris Rufo. We have a show on the Blaze and 548 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 19: we've been talking about the Iran war, and I share 549 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 19: I think your guys' perspective, not to speak for you both, 550 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 19: which is that I was always skeptical of this as 551 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 19: a military operation. 552 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: It was unclear to me what the objectives were. 553 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 19: It was a bit unclear to me how we were 554 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 19: meant to achieve those objectives and certainly what the day 555 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 19: after was might look like. And I was also maybe 556 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 19: primarily worried that this would distract from domestic priorities. There's 557 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 19: a domestic agenda that we want to see this administration 558 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 19: not just continue to pursue, but achieve it at a 559 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 19: significant rate as we head into the midterm. So I 560 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 19: want to see us refocus our efforts on that. But 561 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 19: I will say I was never a doomer about this war, 562 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 19: and I think, you know, like everybody today, I'm going 563 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 19: to claim some kind of vindication, maybe prematurely, but that 564 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 19: is just to say that I never bought the sort 565 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 19: of catastrophe scenario that many people was selling. I think 566 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 19: what we saw yesterday, even if this ceasefire doesn't hold 567 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 19: permanently right now, even if these negotiations take several weeks 568 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 19: to get going and start to produce results, that at 569 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 19: least the markets oil prices to god nose dive yesterday 570 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 19: after this was announced. The stock market is on a 571 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 19: historic upward trend now after these announcements suggest to me 572 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 19: that there was always a way out of this, that 573 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 19: Trump at any moment could essentially fold the hand. 574 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: Okay, and that might not sound well. 575 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 19: To the administration administrative boosters, but it's that's really what 576 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 19: Taco means, I think, is a willingness when you know 577 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 19: the cards aren't your favor, to just fold the hand. 578 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 19: And so if that's what this means here, that Trump 579 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 19: is going to hold fold the hand and we just 580 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 19: cut our losses and can get out of this. While 581 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 19: in the grand scheme of things, it might not be 582 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 19: a high point for this term, it's not going to 583 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 19: be I don't think the catastrophe that many have been 584 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 19: selling online. So that's that's one part of it. And 585 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 19: I think the other thing I learned, or that we're learning, 586 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 19: and that has been clear all along, but maybe certain 587 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 19: people have neglected in this equation is that Iran as 588 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 19: a rational actor. Okay, we may not like them, we 589 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 19: may not like what they do, we may not like 590 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 19: their point of view and some of the geopolitical objectives 591 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 19: that they pursue, but they are motivated by survival, and 592 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 19: when you're dealing with a counterpart who is motivated by survival. 593 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 19: You can predict what they want and what they will 594 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 19: respond to. They will respond to certain kinds of incentives, 595 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 19: and I think we are seeing that here with the ceasefire, 596 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 19: as imperfect as it may be. And what this all 597 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 19: redounds to, in my view, is that we actually have 598 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 19: a lot of optionality here. We're in a situation where 599 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 19: there's a lot of opportunity to maneuver and negotiate, and 600 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 19: this is really, of course, where Trump shines at the 601 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 19: negotiation table. So I'm cautiously optimistic that this could result 602 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 19: itself and more or less, from a domestic political standpoint, 603 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 19: be forgotten by let's say mid June, which would be 604 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 19: I think ideal and set us up for mid terms 605 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 19: rather well. 606 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think I really agree with that. 607 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 14: I was never a doomer on it. I've always been 608 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 14: skeptical about this war. I you know, Blake likes to say, 609 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 14: and I agree with it, that you can always start 610 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 14: a war, you can't always decide when end it. But 611 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 14: I would say that as far as ending a war, 612 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 14: we had more, as you say, optionality here than a 613 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 14: lot of other scenarios that you could imagine, and we 614 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 14: kept saying like Trump could simply just declare victory and 615 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 14: get out. Yeah, I mean essentially that's what he was 616 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 14: kind of positioning, I believe, with the straight of horn 617 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 14: Moos saying, Hey, we don't get any of our energy 618 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 14: from there. It's your guys' problem, NATO, if you guys 619 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 14: want the straight open and I think we're going to 620 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 14: kind of see some of that when it comes to 621 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 14: whether they're tariff or whether it's a joint venture, whether 622 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 14: we allow Iran to, you know, put a toll on 623 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 14: these tankers that go through. 624 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 8: Not ideal. 625 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 14: It sets a bad press and I think for energy 626 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 14: and trade throughout the world. 627 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 8: But it's also not a doomsday scenario. 628 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 16: I think if the president, I think the one thing 629 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 16: he seems consistently fixated on is. 630 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 8: The nuclear weapon part. 631 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 16: I think if you can credibly claim I have made 632 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 16: it so this will never happen or it will take 633 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 16: an extremely long time to happen. 634 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 8: I agree he's ready to accept a lot of other things. 635 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 8: I totally agree. 636 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 14: I think what's going to happen out of this, and 637 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 14: then I'll throw to you, Jonathan, is the negotiations that 638 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 14: are going to go on in Islamabad on. So apparently 639 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 14: starting Friday, there's some question of whether or not security 640 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 14: is such that JD Vance can participate. But Jared Kushner Witkough, 641 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 14: I think they are going to demand that there are 642 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 14: actual American forces or observers or whatever that goes. 643 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 8: On with this I E. A E or whatever. 644 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 14: Maybe I got the apenim wrong that goes in and 645 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 14: actually removes it, physically removes it and observes the removal 646 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 14: of that. If they can negotiate that in all of this, 647 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 14: You're right, Blake, I think they're going to be willing 648 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 14: to put up with a lot, including removing sanctions. 649 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 8: This tolls through the strait. Jonathan, you're yeah. 650 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 19: I just think that you know, Blake's right, and ending 651 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 19: a war is difficult, But what you want in this 652 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 19: situation is for everybody to be able to walk away. 653 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 19: Both sides need to be able to walk away, saving 654 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 19: face to their own people, their own constituency. Iran can 655 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 19: tell their people that they made the Great Satan blink, okay, 656 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 19: and that's all they need, and they survived. There was 657 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 19: no regime change, so they're still standing. That is a 658 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 19: win sort of regardless of anything else that happens. 659 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: From their end. 660 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 19: From Trump's point of view, the big headline item here, 661 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 19: and I think really the thing that's motivating him, maybe 662 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 19: even more so than the nuclear material their uranium, is 663 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 19: that he. 664 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: Got the Iyatola. 665 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 19: The Iatola has existed as this sort of bogeyman for 666 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 19: people Trump's age, going back to the Cold War. And 667 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 19: you know, Trump got another notch on his belt. He 668 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 19: got the iyatola. Their military capacity is badly degraded. Obviously 669 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 19: it can still do some stuff like control the straight 670 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 19: of horror moves, but it's badly degraded. 671 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: If he can get just some. 672 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 19: Compromise, even rhetorical compromise on the uranium stuff, I think 673 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 19: both sides can walk from this. And again, while it's 674 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 19: not a win per se, it's not a huge w 675 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 19: It's not the thing we're celebrating going into midterms. It's 676 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 19: largely forgotten I think in several months. 677 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 14: Yeah, and I just I do think that you could actually, 678 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 14: you know, spike the football pretty largely in a big way, loudly, 679 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 14: if you do get the concessions on nuclear And I 680 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 14: think because that has been the one most consistent drum 681 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 14: beat from President Trump when it comes to Iran, you 682 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 14: can't let Iran have nuclear if we get if we 683 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 14: get massive concessions there, but we have to give give 684 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 14: concessions back, for example, on sanctioning. 685 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 8: Their oil, then that will that would be something that 686 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 8: he could touch. 687 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 16: I think to say to the end, Iran getting nuclear 688 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 16: weapons is the only thing that keeps us obsessed with them, 689 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 16: even if they're an annoying government. Frankly, even if a 690 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 16: government that funds terrorist activities to it's the new it 691 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 16: makes them evil. 692 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 8: But there's a lot of evil government. I'm just saying. 693 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 14: They killed upwards of fifty thousand of their own people 694 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 14: during the protests. 695 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 8: Yeah. 696 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 14: And the question is, then, Jonathan, if we remove sanctions 697 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 14: on their energy and their petrol chemicals and stuff like that, 698 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 14: are we actually going to potentially create a monster out 699 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 14: of our run? I think that would be the one question, 700 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 14: because are they going to be stronger? One of the 701 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 14: questions that we have remaining out of this is are 702 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 14: they weakened? Will the people actually you know, topple the 703 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 14: regime eventually? 704 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 19: You know, this may run counter to you know, most 705 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 19: people's preferences, but I think regularizing relationships with anyone. 706 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: Is a good idea. And if we can. 707 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 19: Regularize economic relationships with Iran. Maybe there's some rough water 708 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 19: that we have to pass through and they abuse that 709 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 19: for a period of time, but I think in the 710 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 19: long run, that's the only. 711 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: Way out of this. 712 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 19: Okay, we need to have a sort of global landscape 713 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 19: where these countries participate in the broader global economy. 714 00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: That is a win. 715 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 19: And I think this larger narrative, the larger foreign policy narrative, 716 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 19: the Iran specific story gets captured by what's going on 717 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 19: everywhere else. With Venezuela, We'll see what happens with Cuba, 718 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 19: We'll see what we can strike a deal, maybe with China, 719 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 19: which I know is on the table and coming up soon. 720 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 19: So I think this can all work itself out, and 721 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 19: it isn't necessarily the case that removing sanctions is going 722 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 19: to be some sort of catastrophic moment. 723 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 8: Yeah. I hope you're right, Jonathan.

There are immigration hawks, 794 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 19: of which I count myself among. 795 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: There's the culture warriors. 796 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 19: You know, you have young people, old people, and there 797 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 19: are a lot of just diverging interests here and all 798 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 19: of us are in some sense subservient to the interest 799 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 19: and will of Donald Trump. He's the guy at the top, 800 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 19: He's the guy that calls the shots. And sometimes when 801 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 19: you're within that coalition, you're going to get a little 802 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 19: bit of what you want, Sometimes you're going to get 803 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 19: a lot of what you want, and sometimes you're going 804 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 19: to have to compromise and give up on the things 805 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 19: you want because other members of that coalition are going 806 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 19: to win the argument on any given issue. And I think, 807 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 19: regardless of what's happened here, and I would really strongly 808 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 19: urge even those who are wrongly opposed to what's going 809 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 19: on Iran to consider that we'd be much worse off 810 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 19: if the Democrats win, We'd be much worse off if 811 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 19: Kamala Harris was president, and if the Republicans lose office 812 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 19: in the midterms. I don't believe in the acceleration thesis 813 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 19: at all, which is that you have to lose in 814 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 19: order to win at some point in the future. No, 815 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 19: you win by winning, You win incrementally within that coalition. 816 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 19: You make your argument, you try to win on the 817 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 19: issues that matter to you the most, and be willing 818 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 19: to compromise elsewhere, and remember that your ego just isn't 819 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 19: very important in this equation. 820 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: And so what I hope is as this starts to. 821 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 19: Die down, as it becomes a less salient centerpiece of 822 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 19: what's going on in the news every day, and it's 823 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 19: the thing you see when you scroll that will start 824 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 19: to coalesce around more shared objectives. We get back to 825 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 19: this domestic agenda that I was referencing earlier. 826 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: So that's my. 827 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 19: Hope, that's what I think will have And I think 828 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 19: you know, members of this coalition are just going to 829 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 19: have to learn to get along. 830 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 16: So I'm hopeful that you're right, Jonathan, But I guess 831 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 16: I want to sound a note of concern, worry, caution. 832 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 16: First of all, I think you and I both know 833 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 16: this already was a super salient issue before the Iran 834 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 16: War broke out. 835 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 8: We've definitely got. 836 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 16: Voices that are all Israel all the time, all the 837 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 16: Jews all the time, let's be frank. And on top 838 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 16: of that, it's also some of it's going to be 839 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 16: difficult to walk back. We have people it wasn't just 840 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 16: people opposed to the war. We had people. 841 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 8: Saying twenty fifth Amendment, use the twenty. 842 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 16: Fifth Amendment, people saying there's our war crimes, we need 843 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 16: a Nuremberg. We have people honestly sounding very liberal in 844 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 16: their overall statements, I guess, yeah, and they're saying we 845 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 16: shouldn't be criticizing Islam or whatever. But last Levault, there's 846 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 16: a concern I'm seeing where I think there's a lot 847 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 16: of voices on the bigger right that you say, we 848 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 16: want to unite around these domestic goals, but a lot 849 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 16: of stuff is so not policy, not politically driven at 850 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 16: all anymore. And that's something that really concerns me. It's 851 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 16: when they're very centered on maybe their latest outrage stuff, 852 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 16: but not as much on what are we actually doing 853 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 16: on immigration for example. 854 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 10: Yeah. 855 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 19: Look, I don't want to sound too Pollyannas here, and 856 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 19: I recognize that some of this is sort of hopeful 857 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 19: thinking and that there are real headwinds facing this coalition. 858 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 19: And I think some of the impolitic and sort of 859 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 19: imprudent things that people were saying online, well, a lot 860 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 19: of that is just sort of siloed off in a 861 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 19: This is my view. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but 862 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 19: I some of this is just siloed off in the 863 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 19: online mel you that we operate in and we're highly 864 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 19: responsive to, but doesn't necessarily translate into broader conservative GOP politics. 865 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 19: That's one, and I think two, you know, I'm operating 866 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 19: under the asum, which is just I've seen over time 867 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 19: that people have incredibly short memories, and a lot of 868 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 19: the people who are now in Trump's favor and are 869 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 19: directing policy decisions, you know, six years ago or ten 870 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 19: years ago or whenever it was, we're saying precisely the 871 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 19: same things about Trump that some of his more recent 872 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 19: allies are saying about him now with regards to Iran. 873 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,760 Speaker 19: So there's a lot of movement within the collisions. People 874 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 19: say things that are regrettable. I hope cooler heads will prevail. 875 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 19: I think there is time to subtly sort of walk 876 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 19: back some of the inflammatory rhetoric that's been bandied about 877 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 19: online over the last several months with regards to Iran. 878 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: So, look, we have a long way to go. 879 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 19: The midterms really haven't ramped up yet in terms of messaging. 880 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 19: I think it's going to be really important for GOP 881 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 19: strategists to take a very hard look of what's important 882 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 19: to this coalition, what can be the shared interests and 883 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 19: just hammer that stuff over and over and over again 884 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 19: and try to recreate the sort of enthusiasm that if 885 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 19: people again people don't remember. I mean, it was in January, 886 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 19: the State of the Union speech that was maybe the 887 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 19: high water mark of this first term. 888 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: Everybody was really enthused. 889 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 19: All of the right things were being said, there was 890 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 19: this sense of coming together over a shared domestic agenda. 891 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 19: I really do think we can get back to that. 892 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 19: Maybe we lose some people, maybe this war and what's 893 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 19: gone on creates some attrition within the coalition, but I 894 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 19: don't think it has to be a fatal blow. 895 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 14: So Jonathan, can we keep you for a couple more minutes, 896 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 14: do a little podcast exclusive here for Real America's voice 897 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 14: Jonathan Keeperman, absolute amazing mind and thinker.

So many questions that we want 902 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 14: to make sure we tune into that. So more with 903 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 14: Jonathan Keeth for men in just a minute on the 904 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 14: stream and on podcasts. 905 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 8: We'll see you at the start hour. 906 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:22,959 Speaker 18: Two Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. 907 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 6: I'm Terrence Bates. 908 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 18: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt set to hold her 909 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 18: latest press briefing at any minute now. You're looking live 910 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 18: at the podium where she is set to speak. Here 911 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 18: the press corps, as you can see, already in place 912 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,280 Speaker 18: in anticipating the Press Secretary's arrival. The two weeks ceasefire 913 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 18: between the United States and Iran will likely dominate today's briefing. 914 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,800 Speaker 18: Before heading into the briefing room. Moments ago, our Brian 915 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 18: Glenn filing this report. 916 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 11: Thanks Terrence. 917 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 8: Here shortly just moments away. 918 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 11: Carol Levitt expected to address the media at one pm 919 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 11: here local time. Now, this will be the first time 920 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 11: we've officially heard from the Trump administration. 921 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 17: Now. 922 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 11: Earlier today we did have the press briefing at the Pentagon, 923 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 11: but this will be the first time that Kevin Levitt 924 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 11: will step front on the podium taking questions. And then 925 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 11: this is in wake of that two week pause, that 926 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 11: two week ceasefire the President Trump late yesterday announced that 927 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,959 Speaker 11: he was going to do and of course I would 928 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 11: imagine a lot of the questions will be what does 929 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 11: the ceasefire intel, what does this potential deal look like, 930 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 11: what does life look. 931 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 8: Like after the ceasefire? 932 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 11: And a lot of conversations came up as far as 933 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 11: what our presence is in that region secure not only 934 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 11: this straight but to make sure that that diplomacy and 935 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 11: stability returns to Iran. And also the fact that Israel 936 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 11: continues to just late last night, really hammer Lebanon, and 937 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,280 Speaker 11: so be some questions. I've heard some speculation today about 938 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 11: what does that look like in terms of a ceasefire, 939 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 11: and that's a part of it, and that will continue 940 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 11: to be something that. 941 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 8: Israel will obey. 942 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 11: But we've got all the details right here coming up 943 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 11: at one o'clock here local time, and we'll cut to 944 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 11: it as soon as Carolyn Levitt steps in front of 945 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 11: the microphone. 946 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 18: Terrence, Again, that's Brian Glynn reporting just outside of the 947 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 18: White House. He is now inside the White House in 948 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 18: that press briefing room as the briefing is expected to 949 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 18: get under way quite literally any minute. By the way, 950 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 18: there's also brand new reporting just out that Iran has 951 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 18: now closed the Strait of Horror moves as a result 952 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 18: of continued Israeli attacks on the Islamic regime. So that's 953 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 18: also a storyline that we're expecting to be focused on 954 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 18: during this upcoming press briefing involving Caroline Levitt. In the meantime, 955 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 18: earlier this morning, the Pentagon sounding off about the ceasefire 956 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 18: agreement and what's next. 957 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 7: Iran's defeat is America's retribution for every American loss to 958 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 7: Iranian terror, especially those break troops killed by Iranian made 959 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 7: roadside bombs in Iraq that my generation knows so well, 960 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 7: and for the suffering their regime has inflicted around the world. 961 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 7: Now we have a chance at real peace and a 962 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 7: real deal. The War Department, for now, for now has 963 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 7: done its part. We stand ready in the background to 964 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 7: ensure Iran upholds every reasonable term and as everyone knows, 965 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 7: nobody makes a better deal than President Trump. 966 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 6: And a barrage of true social posts. 967 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 18: This morning, President Trump writing, a country slipping military weapons 968 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 18: to Iran will be immediately tariffed on any and all 969 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 18: goods sold to the United States of America fifty percent 970 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,240 Speaker 18: effective immediately, and in a separate post forty seven, writing, 971 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 18: the United States will work closely with Iran, which we 972 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 18: have determined has gone through what will likely be a 973 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 18: very productive regime change. US negotiators, by the way, set 974 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,439 Speaker 18: to meet with officials from A on Friday in Pakistan. 975 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,720 Speaker 6: In order to continue talks. 976 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 18: President Trump celebrating another election victory this morning after Clayton 977 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 18: Fuller wrote his Trump endorsement to victory in Georgie's fourteenth 978 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:17,839 Speaker 18: Congressional District special election. As expected, Fuller won in a landslide, 979 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 18: beating Democrat Sean Harris with more than fifty seven percent 980 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 18: of the vote. Fuller will fill Marjorie Taylor Green's remaining 981 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 18: term in the US House. The traditionally Republican Northwest Georgia 982 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 18: district returns another much needed vote to the GOP's narrow 983 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 18: majority in the House. Despite the winning Georgia, though, House 984 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 18: Republicans can only afford two defections on party line votes, 985 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 18: assuming that all members are president and voting. Fuller can't 986 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,879 Speaker 18: be too comfortable in that seat, though, as Georgia will 987 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 18: hold another primary for the seat on May nineteenth. Candidates 988 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 18: looking to fill the full two term two year term 989 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 18: excuse me, will be part of that primary. Well, that's 990 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 18: going to do a your headlines. As always, we appreciate 991 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 18: having you along for the ride. 992 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 6: Again. 993 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 18: At the top of the hour of the moment at 994 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 18: this point that Caroline Levitt takes the podium in the 995 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 18: White House will take you their lives. 996 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:09,800 Speaker 6: Stay tuned for you. 997 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 8: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 998 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 14: We are awaiting the start of the White House press conference. 999 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 14: This we don't take all of them on the show, 1000 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 14: but I think today is a truly important day because 1001 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 14: we're gonna define, We're gonna hopefully learn what the White 1002 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 14: House is defining as victory. Again, you can have war 1003 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 14: in the modern era where it doesn't it's not as 1004 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 14: clear as like you know, you know, World War two, 1005 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 14: right or Civil War. We're used to these grandiose celebrations, 1006 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 14: the theatrics of you know, signing a surrender that doesn't 1007 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 14: happen in modern warfare near much. Obviously, we saw it 1008 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 14: in Venezuela where Maduro was captured and taken back. 1009 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 8: I mean that was fairly clear cut. 1010 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 14: But it's not always clear cut, and so you have 1011 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 14: to define your objectives and you have to then you know, 1012 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 14: get press conferences up and running into clear victory. This 1013 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 14: is why I think hegseth you saw him out this 1014 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 14: morning and explaining why he defines this as a victory. 1015 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 14: And obviously this is part of the pr spin both sides. 1016 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 14: I listen, I think, again to Blake's earlier point nur one, 1017 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 14: we may not see this ceasefire even hold through the 1018 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 14: end of the show. But I think that given the 1019 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,439 Speaker 14: calculus of a current moment, I think the administration would 1020 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,399 Speaker 14: be loath to reignite hostilities kinetic operations because I think 1021 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 14: there is an understanding that Iran is really willing to 1022 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 14: sort of wait out and take the barrage, take the punishment. 1023 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 14: But here's Pete hegseth st three. 1024 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 7: Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. 1025 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 7: Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on 1026 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 7: the battlefield, a capital v military victory. 1027 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 14: It was a little bit of defining though military victory. 1028 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,360 Speaker 14: He didn't say it was a political victory. It's not 1029 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,919 Speaker 14: regime change. I think what is going to be very 1030 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 14: interesting in this press conference as a way that you 1031 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 14: can see that in the bottom of your screen, it's 1032 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 14: going to be very interesting to see what happens specifically 1033 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 14: with nuclear right nuclear is I think if we can 1034 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 14: get that chess piece off the board, we can I 1035 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 14: think objectively declare some semblance of a victory and say, listen, 1036 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 14: maybe the strait is it cleared out. 1037 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 8: Maybe we didn't get regime change. 1038 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 14: Maybe we remove sanctions and they are going to get 1039 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 14: more money flowing into the Iranian regime. But the aetola 1040 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 14: is gone, most of their main leadership is gone. Maybe 1041 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 14: we'll have to lomaz this point in the previous hour. 1042 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 14: We're going to establish regular relations, normalize relations with whatever 1043 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 14: is left intact in Iran. And that's not a bad thing, 1044 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 14: all right. So I think I'm waiting for clarity. I 1045 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 14: think the world is waiting for clarity. I don't know, Blake, 1046 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 14: what are you hoping to see because sometimes these press 1047 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 14: conferences you don't get much specific. 1048 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 8: I think today's going to be a bit different. 1049 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 16: Well, yeah, I think, as you say, we're going to 1050 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 16: see them define not just what victory is, but hopefully 1051 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 16: set terms for the ceasefire that can hold. 1052 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 8: I think they're probably going to get. 1053 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:27,280 Speaker 16: Grilled over strikes still happening, over that disagreement over Lebanon, 1054 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 16: and that's probably going to be the most difficult answer 1055 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 16: they can give, because that's going to be what people 1056 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 16: on to break the ceasefire wide open again. We'll probably 1057 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 16: also have to see how aggressive their posture is on 1058 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 16: if the ceasefire starts breaking down, are they ready to 1059 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 16: fully resume everything. Are we back to the threats or 1060 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 16: do we think Trump is seizing an off ramp aggressively 1061 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 16: where if the ceasefire starts going south, he's still not 1062 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 16: inclined to raise back up all of America's military operations. 1063 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean we know already reporting is that Israel, 1064 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 14: the leadership of Israel, is not happy with this ceasefire. 1065 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 14: They very much want to be able to continue operations 1066 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 14: in southern Lebanon to take out Hesbelah. I think it's 1067 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 14: also a like I mentioned before, it's a clear indication 1068 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 14: that Iran sees Hesbela as an extension of the regime. 1069 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 14: So you know, if there was any doubt, let there 1070 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 14: be no doubt that Hesbela is an extension of the 1071 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 14: regime in Lebanon. And Israel is not happy with this, 1072 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 14: but they're kind of Trump's got them cornered a little bit. 1073 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 14: So I think that's going to be another question here 1074 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 14: that Caroline Levit's going to have to navigate. 1075 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 8: What are you going to do with Israel? 1076 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 14: Israel is a X factor question mark on the board. 1077 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,800 Speaker 14: Obviously their proximity to Iran is much closer than our own, 1078 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,439 Speaker 14: so that they want to see this regime toppled. There's 1079 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 14: no doubt in anybody's mind really, So we'll see how 1080 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 14: she handles that. But again, questions on the board nuclear 1081 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 14: straight o' her moves hesbela, can this cease fire hold? 1082 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 14: Is Jade Vance going to be present in Islamabad for 1083 00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 14: the Friday? Pace still negotiations or is there some security concern? 1084 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 14: What is the security concern? So there's a thousand questions 1085 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 14: that she's going to be confronted with, and maybe it 1086 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 14: will be a grilling, But I think I'm most curious 1087 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 14: to see what is the ten point plan? Are we 1088 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 14: going to get any clarity on the ten point plan? 1089 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 14: The White House has already said it's a different ten 1090 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 14: point plan than has been reported and circulated. 1091 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 16: Is funny, health, I don't think there's been any public 1092 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 16: versions of the ten point plan. Yeah's all different places 1093 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 16: reporting online versions. 1094 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 14: I think that's why President Trump issued that truth today 1095 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 14: saying that they're all fake basically, So take it all 1096 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 14: with a grain of salt, keep your wits about you. 1097 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 14: This is all a litmus test all right, this is 1098 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 14: all litmus test. Are you going to catastrophize, are you 1099 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 14: going to doom and gloom? Or are you going to 1100 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 14: keep your wits about you. I'm very proud of us 1101 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 14: on the show that we've kept our wits about us 1102 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 14: and we're colling balls and strikes. 1103 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 8: We're not rushing into war. We certainly are glad that this. 1104 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 14: One could be on the precipice, on the threshold of 1105 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 14: being over. I think that's a good thing and we 1106 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 14: should celebrate that. But it is fragile. It is very fragile, 1107 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 14: and we've got to see right now the strait is 1108 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 14: essentially halted. 1109 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 8: It's closed. 1110 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 14: So is there going to be immediate action taken by 1111 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 14: the administration to get that reopened. 1112 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 8: We don't know. 1113 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 14: And I think it's also very telling here we are. 1114 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 14: This was supposed to start at ten well one pm Eastern, 1115 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 14: this press conference, and we're already at one twelve pm Eastern, 1116 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 14: so it's. 1117 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 8: Already been delayed a bit. 1118 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 14: We kept this segment open for this press conference today 1119 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 14: and it's delayed, which means there this is a very 1120 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 14: active and moving situation, and I bet we're working with 1121 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 14: wet cement here wet. 1122 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 16: Cement indeed, yeah, and then how quickly does it dry? 1123 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 16: But yeah, did you ever did you ever read Hittriker's 1124 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 16: Guide to the Galaxy?

The Beacon 1167 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 14: of the North, he called it. And Charlie understood. He 1168 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 14: didn't chase diplomas, he didn't chase the titles. What he 1169 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 14: chased was learning, and you can do that through Hillsdale 1170 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 14: on their online courses that offer over forty of them, 1171 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 14: and it's a truly amazing resource. 1172 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 8: Is it starting?

Well, 1228 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 14: we weren't so distracted that we didn't notice. We had 1229 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,439 Speaker 14: Nick Sorder on yesterday talking about it, and that's when 1230 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 14: I discovered that it wasn't, in fact, called the Dignity Act. 1231 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 8: It's called the Dignity God Act. 1232 01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 14: They had the audacity, the shamelessness to put a Spanish 1233 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 14: word on an amnesty bill while we are all distracted 1234 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 14: with Iran. 1235 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,959 Speaker 8: Let's hear Rep. Maria Salazar in her own words. 1236 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 1: Twelve we give them dignity. 1237 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 3: At some point in the future, another legislator will write 1238 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 3: another law to give them paths to citizenship. 1239 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Right now, what we need to do. 1240 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 3: Is to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay, 1241 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 3: to continue working because they are needed. 1242 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 8: It's just insane. 1243 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 16: It's we actually want an election on saying we're going 1244 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 16: to enforce the border, we're going to do deportations, and 1245 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 16: every single time Congress comes up there like cockroaches or something, 1246 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 16: and they just come out and say, actually, what the 1247 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 16: people wanted was mass amnesty. 1248 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the exact opposite. 1249 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,919 Speaker 14: And what I've realized from this is that there will 1250 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,120 Speaker 14: always be a push. It doesn't matter how much the 1251 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 14: base wants, the moneyed interest in ag, hospitality, other sectors 1252 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 14: are going to continue pushing for amnesty because they want 1253 01:04:58,480 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 14: cheap labor. 1254 01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 16: You literally, you just have to learn to tune them out. 1255 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 16: You just like they're going to say it. No matter what, 1256 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,680 Speaker 16: they will always say it. So you just have to 1257 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 16: ignore them. You have to say thanks, you say that 1258 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 16: every time. 1259 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:09,479 Speaker 8: We're ignoring it. So Rep. 1260 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 14: Maria Alvira Salazar, who should be primary by the way, 1261 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 14: like this woman, I don't care who endorsed her. 1262 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 8: Okay, I guess she's got a Trump. I don't care. 1263 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 14: She needs to be primaried because you cannot represent the 1264 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,200 Speaker 14: grassroots and the movement of the Republican Party if you're 1265 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 14: going to continue pushing garbage amnesty and try and you know, 1266 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 14: to quote Ron decantists, don't pee on my leg and 1267 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 14: tell me it's raining.

She fires back said, read the bill 1270 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,520 Speaker 14: before you open your mouth. Calling the Dignity Act amnesty 1271 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 14: isn't just wrong, it's a deliberate distortion. No, what you're 1272 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 14: trying to do, Calling it the Dignity Act is a 1273 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,919 Speaker 14: deliberate distortion of an amnesty bill. 1274 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 8: And I love that. 1275 01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 14: There's a community note on her x feed here.

We've seen 1283 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 16: this with refugee status. 1284 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 8: We see it. 1285 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 16: I mean that's also how all the fraud that works 1286 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,280 Speaker 16: in all these blue states. You create a vague category 1287 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 16: that everyone can claim, and if it's not really aggressively enforced, 1288 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 16: it quickly breaks down. And we know it won't be 1289 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 16: You have these immigration judges, and if you install a 1290 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 16: sympathetic actor, you basically have the inmates running the asylum. 1291 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 16: Everyone's able to claim the benefit. 1292 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 8: Get this. 1293 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 14: It allows every illegal alien deported by Trump since January 1294 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 14: twenty seventeen to return to the USA. They can apply 1295 01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 14: for their new dignity status Digny DODD from their home 1296 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 14: country and then return to the USA. It also ups 1297 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 14: caps on certain immigration visas it so it increases our immigration. 1298 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 14: Then it provides funding to lawyers that are going to 1299 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 14: argue on behalf of these illegals to get back into 1300 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:22,000 Speaker 14: the country. This is a this behavior betrayal of the 1301 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,000 Speaker 14: American voters. Get this woman out of my party. And 1302 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 14: by the way, I'm gonna have Rich Barris joined maybe 1303 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 14: tomorrow if he's available, because he's got a backstory on 1304 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 14: some of this polling that's being circulated around the administration 1305 01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 14: that is warning them against using the words mass deportation. 1306 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 14: I want to hear your your thoughts. Send us an 1307 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 14: email Freedom at Charlie Kirk right now. Do you like 1308 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 14: the term mass deportation? 1309 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 8: Do you not like it? 1310 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,000 Speaker 14: Do you understand the rationale behind maybe not using it 1311 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,800 Speaker 14: as much? Okay, I want to hear all your viewpoints. 1312 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,160 Speaker 14: Do you think it's bad PR? Listen, there is an 1313 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 14: argument to be made that we lost some of the 1314 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 14: PR wars right mass on on ice agents, that's one 1315 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 14: of the things that I've heard actually does pull very badly. 1316 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,479 Speaker 8: Okay, well, like. 1317 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 14: Maybe there's some room to maneuver here, but you are 1318 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 14: not going to convince me that mass deportations and the 1319 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:16,720 Speaker 14: reclaiming of American culture and sovereignty is not popular across 1320 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,000 Speaker 14: the board. It is one of the issues that has 1321 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 14: been I think under valued, underappreciated the most in American 1322 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 14: politics since Trump came down the Golden escalator. He saw it, 1323 01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,680 Speaker 14: he called it out, and it will and Caroline just 1324 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 14: walked out. And Trump deserves a massive amount of credit 1325 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 14: for changing the discourse on that topic alone. And we're 1326 01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 14: gonna die on that hill. That's the hill you die on. 1327 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 14: It's mass deportations in our sovereignty. Let's go ahead and 1328 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 14: take the Caroline Levitt press conference. 1329 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 20: Legislation that First Lady Milania Trump played an instrumental role 1330 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 20: in getting past that protects victims from non consensual AI 1331 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,280 Speaker 20: generated sexually explicit images, cyber stalking. 1332 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 10: And threats of violence. 1333 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 20: This is a huge achievement for the First Lady, and 1334 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 20: I know the President is very proud of his wife's 1335 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 20: efforts in getting this critical legislation passed to protect America's youth. 1336 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 20: So we thank the First Lady for her efforts, and 1337 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 20: we hope that others will report on this historic conviction yesterday. 1338 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,800 Speaker 20: With respect to the two week cease fire announced by 1339 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 20: President Trump last night, this is a victory for the 1340 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 20: United States of America that the presidents in our incredible 1341 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 20: military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, 1342 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,559 Speaker 20: President Trump stated this would be a four to six 1343 01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 20: week military operation to dismantle the military threat posed by 1344 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 20: the radical Islamic Iranian regime. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities 1345 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 20: of America's war fighters, the United States has achieved and 1346 01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:49,440 Speaker 20: exceeded those core military objectives in just thirty eight days, 1347 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 20: the US military destroyed Iran's defense industrial base, crushing the 1348 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 20: regime's ability to manufacture weapons that they and their proxies 1349 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,360 Speaker 20: used to maim and kill Americans. 1350 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 10: And terrorize the world. 1351 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 20: Iran's ability to build in stockpile ballistic missiles and long 1352 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 20: range drones has also been set back by years compared 1353 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 20: to where it was six weeks ago. Prior to the 1354 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,759 Speaker 20: launch of Operation Epic Fury. We destroyed the vast majority 1355 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 20: of Iran's ballistic missiles, launcher vehicles, and long range attack drones. 1356 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,679 Speaker 20: Through more than four hundred and fifty strikes on ballistic 1357 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 20: missiles and approximately eight hundred strikes on Iran's drone launching 1358 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 20: units and storage facilities. In total, more than thirteen thousand 1359 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 20: targets across Iran were struck. 1360 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,839 Speaker 10: Again. This is in the matter of just thirty eight days. 1361 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:45,799 Speaker 20: Meanwhile, the Iranian navy was completely annihilated. The United States 1362 01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 20: destroyed more than one hundred and fifty naval vessels in total, 1363 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 20: including sixteen entire classes of Iranian warships. Despite once being 1364 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 20: the largest undersea force in the Middle East, Iran now 1365 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 20: has zero submarine vessels. Ninety seven percent of Iran's once 1366 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 20: massive inventory of more than five thousand naval mines has 1367 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:12,520 Speaker 20: also been targeted and destroyed. Iran's air forces are functionally 1368 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 20: and operationally irrelevant at this point, after the United States 1369 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 20: maintained total air dominance over their country for weeks on end. 1370 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,679 Speaker 20: To underscore the significance of this, before Operation Epic Fury, 1371 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 20: the Iranian Naval Air Force would fly between thirty to 1372 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 20: one hundred flights per day. Today that number is zero. 1373 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 20: Iran's ability to fund and support its terrace proxies has 1374 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 20: been greatly reduced. At this point, Iran can no longer 1375 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:44,480 Speaker 20: distribute weapons to its proxies in the region, and most importantly, 1376 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,759 Speaker 20: Iran will not be able to acquire nuclear weapons. Prior 1377 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,480 Speaker 20: to the start of this successful operation, Iran was aggressively 1378 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:56,679 Speaker 20: expanding its short range ballistic missile arsenal. Through these weapons 1379 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,959 Speaker 20: and its navy, Iran was attempting to build a military 1380 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,799 Speaker 20: build up around their country that would pose an imminent 1381 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 20: and existential threat to the United States military assets in 1382 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 20: the Middle East, our allies in the region, and ultimately 1383 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 20: the free world. Iran was pursuing this dangerous and aggressive 1384 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 20: strategy for one reason, to hold the entire world hostage 1385 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 20: to its terrorist ambitions. The Iranians aim to use their 1386 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 20: expanded military capabilities as a shields around their country to 1387 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 20: continue achieving their ultimate goal internally building nuclear bombs. But 1388 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 20: their murderous and evil plans have been blown up quite 1389 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,519 Speaker 20: literally and figuratively. Along with their military, their nuclear program, 1390 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 20: and most of their senior leadership, including the former Supreme 1391 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 20: Leader Ayatola A La Camani. 1392 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,080 Speaker 10: Their command and control structures. 1393 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 20: Were also massively disrupted after being struck more than two 1394 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 20: thousand times. Many of their remaining leaders are paralyzed in 1395 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 20: fear and no longer enjoy the freedom to move around 1396 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 20: their country freely and meet openly. 1397 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 10: Thanks to the unmatched. 1398 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,799 Speaker 20: Excellence of our warriors at the direction of the Commander 1399 01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 20: in Chief, the world has just witnessed a historically swift 1400 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:11,519 Speaker 20: and successful military triumph. President Trump started Operation Epic Fury 1401 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 20: with strategic military objectives in the United States has clearly 1402 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 20: achieved them. As we mark this progress, we also remember 1403 01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 20: and honor the thirteen American heroes who laid down their 1404 01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 20: lives in this noble effort. I know President Trump, in 1405 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,679 Speaker 20: our grateful nation honors their ultimate sacrifice, and we will 1406 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 20: never forget them, May God bless their families. 1407 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 10: The val valiant. 1408 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,600 Speaker 20: Efforts of all of our incredible service members created maximum 1409 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 20: leverage for the President of the United States, allowing he 1410 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 20: and his leadership team to engage in tough negotiations over 1411 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 20: the past couple of weeks that have now created an 1412 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 20: opening for a diplomatic solution in long term peace in 1413 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 20: the Middle East. The President's maximum pressure and the leverage 1414 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,960 Speaker 20: created by the success of Operation Epic Fury led to 1415 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,960 Speaker 20: the Iranian regime asking for an ultimately agreeing to a 1416 01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 20: ceasefire proposal with the United States. Iran could no longer 1417 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 20: tolerate being bombed or taking the gamble of what was 1418 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 20: to come. Following President Trump's eight pm deadline last night, 1419 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 20: Iran has agreed to open the strait of her moose, 1420 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 20: and as the President said, we have received a proposal 1421 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 20: from the Iranians that has been determined to be a 1422 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,960 Speaker 20: workable basis on which to negotiate. I've seen a lot 1423 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,360 Speaker 20: of inaccurate coverage today from the media about these negotiations 1424 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,320 Speaker 20: and these plans already, so let me be clear and 1425 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,720 Speaker 20: correct the record. The Iranians originally put forward a ten 1426 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 20: point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded. 1427 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,400 Speaker 20: It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump 1428 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 20: and his negotiating team. Many outlets in this room have 1429 01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 20: falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the 1430 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,160 Speaker 20: United States, and that is false. 1431 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,840 Speaker 10: With the President's deadline fast approaching in. 1432 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:58,679 Speaker 20: The United States military completely decimating Iran with each passing hour, 1433 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 20: the regime ignored knowledged reality. 1434 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 10: To the negotiating team. 1435 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,680 Speaker 20: They put forward a more reasonable and entirely different and 1436 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:09,799 Speaker 20: condensed plan to the President and his team. President Trump 1437 01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 20: and the team determined the new modified plan was a 1438 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,920 Speaker 20: workable basis on which to negotiate and to align it 1439 01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 20: with our own fifteen point proposal.

What's the White House response 1504 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,240 Speaker 13: to that? And you just listed many military successes. I 1505 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 13: understand that, But strategically, how is the administration arguing that 1506 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 13: Iran does not have more economic leverage than now than 1507 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 13: it did before the Sorry? 1508 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,320 Speaker 20: Sure, well, with respect to the first reporting out of 1509 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,679 Speaker 20: Iranian state media, the President was made aware of those 1510 01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 20: reports before I came to the podium. That is completely unacceptable. 1511 01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 20: And again This is a case of what they're saying 1512 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,280 Speaker 20: publicly is different. We have seen an uptick of traffic 1513 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 20: in the strait today, and I will reiterate the President's 1514 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:10,360 Speaker 20: expectation and demand that the strait of Hermose is reopened immediately, 1515 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 20: quickly and safely. That is his expectation. It has been 1516 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,960 Speaker 20: relayed to him privately that that is what's taking place 1517 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 20: in these reports publicly are false. 1518 01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 19: Care And the. 1519 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,559 Speaker 13: President yesterday threatened that our whole civilization would die if 1520 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 13: a ceasefire deal wasn't reached, understanding that Iranian leaders have 1521 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 13: previously set death to America. But guys, it appropriate for 1522 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 13: the President of the United States to use that kind 1523 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 13: of language when talking about civilian targets. And was a 1524 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:40,360 Speaker 13: president maki Islam by signing off his true social post 1525 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,880 Speaker 13: over the weekend Praise be to Allah?

Danny, Should the 1540 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 20: world not take his work seriously, the world should take 1541 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 20: his word very seriously and understanding that the President is 1542 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 20: always most interested in results. And it was the Iranians 1543 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,880 Speaker 20: who backed down, not President Trump. He said that they 1544 01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 20: would face very grave consequences, as you just laid out 1545 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,799 Speaker 20: by the eight pm deadline if they did not agree 1546 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 20: to reopening the Strait of her Moose. 1547 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,479 Speaker 10: And what did they do last night?

The country is 1824 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:27,440 Speaker 20: very weak. They're in a very weak position economically, obviously financially. 1825 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,559 Speaker 20: The Cuban people are fed up with their government, as 1826 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 20: they should be, and these talks and discussions. 1827 01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,120 Speaker 10: Continue to happen at the highest level of our government. 1828 01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 20: I don't have any updates or announcements for you with 1829 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,000 Speaker 20: respect to Cuba policy today. 1830 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:42,599 Speaker 10: Good to see, Thank you, Caroline. 1831 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,840 Speaker 26: Secretary Hecsas said this morning that US troops would be 1832 01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:49,639 Speaker 26: sticking around.

Again, this 1840 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,439 Speaker 20: is a two week seaspire where we hope at the 1841 01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:12,640 Speaker 20: end and we expect at the end we'll have a 1842 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,080 Speaker 20: good agreements between the United States and Iran. But in 1843 01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 20: the meantime, we're going to ensure that our military is 1844 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:19,080 Speaker 20: always at the ready of. 1845 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:22,720 Speaker 10: The Commander in chief.

On NATO, i'll take your question. 1847 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,240 Speaker 5: Can you tell me the United States still considering withdrawing 1848 01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 5: from NATO? 1849 01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 8: Is that so possibility? 1850 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:35,800 Speaker 20: It's something the President has discussed, and I think it's 1851 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,680 Speaker 20: something the President will be discussing in a couple of 1852 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 20: hours with Secretary General Ruta, and perhaps you'll hear directly 1853 01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,280 Speaker 20: from the President following that meeting later this afternoon. 1854 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:52,880 Speaker 8: Thank you, everyone up, all right, welcome back. A lot 1855 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:53,920 Speaker 8: of information there. 1856 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,880 Speaker 14: We're told just to I think hit some of the 1857 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,920 Speaker 14: high water marks here that the straight up horn moose 1858 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,679 Speaker 14: is open for all intents and purposes. 1859 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 8: The President continues. 1860 01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:07,799 Speaker 14: Demand that demand that the Strait is open safely, securely, 1861 01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 14: and immediately. That was apparently the lynchpin to getting the 1862 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 14: sea fire two weeks ceasefire accomplished. 1863 01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:15,759 Speaker 8: In the first place, we're told. 1864 01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:19,600 Speaker 14: Lebanon is not a part of the current framework, so 1865 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:24,800 Speaker 14: Israel's free apparently to continue attacking southern Lebanon and Hezbalad there. 1866 01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 8: We'll see if you're on, we'll see if we'll see 1867 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,160 Speaker 8: if Ron agrees. We are told that JD. 1868 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,640 Speaker 14: Vance is in fact going to be participating in the 1869 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 14: peace negotiations in Islamabad starting on Friday, along with Special 1870 01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 14: Envoy Wit Coough and mister Jared Kushner. I think those 1871 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,880 Speaker 14: were the big points that there's a lot of questions 1872 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 14: about America's you know, the moral equivalency because of President 1873 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:48,719 Speaker 14: Trump's truths. 1874 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,840 Speaker 8: You know, are we any better than Iran? Of course 1875 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:51,240 Speaker 8: we are. 1876 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,640 Speaker 14: You know, we don't kill fifty thousand protesters on the 1877 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:56,759 Speaker 14: streets when they're protesting the government. 1878 01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,240 Speaker 8: So a lot of insanity there. There was a order 1879 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:00,679 Speaker 8: there going. 1880 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 14: Like my auntie from from Iran called me and asked, 1881 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 14: if you know, if she said goodbye, like listen, like 1882 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 14: it's so annoying, And the press was very annoying there. 1883 01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:13,000 Speaker 14: She does a great job putting up with their garbage. 1884 01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 14: But yeah, what were your main takeaways? 1885 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:16,760 Speaker 16: I thought the most interesting thing is they did ask 1886 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:20,640 Speaker 16: about NATO and the President did express or I should say, 1887 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,280 Speaker 16: leve it. She expressed a lot of disappointment with them. 1888 01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,120 Speaker 16: The line was like they had the chance to step 1889 01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:30,519 Speaker 16: up and they failed. I do wonder if we'll see 1890 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:32,760 Speaker 16: more discussion of that. It could, of course be another 1891 01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 16: play by the president. He's always wanted NATO to contribute 1892 01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 16: more generally, step up for their own defense. 1893 01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,800 Speaker 14: Mark Ruta, the Secretary General of NATO, is meeting with 1894 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 14: the President today, so he's at the White House, and 1895 01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:49,880 Speaker 14: he's been somebody that understands Trump, that seems to have 1896 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:53,840 Speaker 14: embraced Trump more fully with all of his you know, 1897 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,200 Speaker 14: quirks and idiosyncrasies. So you know, I happen to think 1898 01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,360 Speaker 14: that NATO will continue on, our involvement in ATO will 1899 01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,639 Speaker 14: continue on.

I think, and and again we 1901 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 14: could argue Trump calls it a paper tiger. I think 1902 01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 14: it's yet to be seen if NATO is going to 1903 01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,920 Speaker 14: live up to its promise or not. More tomorrow. 1904 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:18,920 Speaker 8: It was nice spending time with you. Able to see 1905 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:19,080 Speaker 8: then
