civilization is intact. Trump furious over the, well, coverage of his ceasefire negotiation. Here it is. Breaking news, Iran's foreign minister just responding to Trump's announcement. I [00:00:15] wanna read part of it to you. He says if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via. coordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration [00:00:34] of technical limitations. Obviously those words are crucial there. And the Supreme National Security Council of Iran has also issued a statement that I have here and I'll just share you a couple of the important lines here. One of them is that the regulated passage through [00:00:50] the Strait of Hormuz under the coordination of the armed forces of Iran thereby conferring upon Iran. a unique economic and geopolitical standing, which sounds like in a translation, Iran saying that they see this as acknowledgement that they control the straight-a-form moves. [00:01:10] Put up the picture full mass. We have a statement from Trump's social media post, Truth Social. It says in our quote, the alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud. And [00:01:29] CNN well knows, the false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria and of course immediately picked up. by CNN and blared out as a legitimate headline. The official statement [00:01:45] by Iran was just released and posted on Truth Below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime, now get this, a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake [00:02:03] CNN World Statement or was it a sick rogue? question mark. CNN is being ordered, understand the wording, ordered to immediately withdraw this statement with full apologies for their [00:02:24] as usual terrible quote reporting. Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. Before I continue, Trump has equated what is being said about this war to [00:02:44] the reporting of a journalist. He did not say an update about the conflict that soldiers are engaged in from the United States of America. He will provide you an update on that. He says he will provide you an update on the investigation into CNN. There's more CNN delivered a follow [00:03:08] up report based on Trump's outrage here it is. There are a couple of statements. There's a very short one from the Iranian foreign ministry, foreign minister, but basically saying, you look, we're going to observe a ceasefire and open the straight up for moves on the basis that there will be negotiations with the United States and our 10 point plan that Iranian 10 [00:03:28] point plan will be accepted as the basis for those negotiations. But it doesn't go any further than that. The second document. document, the one apparently President Trump seems to be objecting to, is the one that's been sent to us by the Supreme National Security Council [00:03:43] of Iran. That's Iran's highest military body and that's a lot more aggressive and it goes into a lot more detail about what that 10-point uh plan to end the war from Iran actually involves and it includes things like this regulating passage through the Strait of Hormuz in the [00:04:01] in coordination with Iran. So basically making sure that Iran still can exercise control over that strategic waterway through which 20 % of the world's oil passes. sounds like a doubling down and Iran is still in control. ah Tactical control. Proxy control. [00:04:28] Ten point plan, put it up. Here we go, despite the chaos, here's what we know about the 10 point plan that has, well. that has been helped by the Pakistanian government per negotiation. [00:04:46] Iranian publication posted the list, which Trump says is a quote workable basis on which to negotiate. Number one, the US must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non-aggression. Number [00:05:03] two, continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Number three, acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program. Can I just pause for a minute? [00:05:26] It seems as if Iran may actually have more leverage than they did prior, but I will continue. Number four, removal of all primary sanctions on Iran. Removal of all secondary sanctions [00:05:46] against foreign entities that do business with Iran or Iranian institutions. Number six, all United Secretary Council resolutions targeting Iran, number seven. And all international [00:06:05] atomic energy agency resolutions on Iran's nuclear program. Excuse me, number eight. Compensation payment to Iran for war damage. Sounds like reparation. Number nine, withdrawal of US combat [00:06:22] forces from the region. Number 10. ceasefire on all fronts, including Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon. I have more, but is it not ironic? I thought Israel was at [00:06:43] war with Iran. It seems as if America has taken the lead here, okay? Ironically also, the 10th point, of the 10-point plan is about to ceasefire. The other nine points have to do [00:06:58] with their domestic and economic policies. Here we go. So all sides have presented vastly different versions of the terms. Iran said the deal would allow it to formalize its new practice [00:07:15] of now charging ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Did you hear that? The new practice of charging ships to go through the Strait of Hormuz. This was not the policy prior to [00:07:31] them taking actual control of the Strait of Hormuz. So now they have a new economic engine courtesy of Donald Trump's schizophrenic foreign policy. Trump said the US would work with [00:07:46] Iran to remove buried enriched uranium. Iran did not confirm that. Pakistan and others said fighting would pause in Lebanon, which Israel has invaded to fight the Iran back Hezbollah [00:08:06] militant group. But Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said early Wednesday that the deal doesn't cover fighting against Hezbollah. Senator Chris Murphy talks about how much of a disaster [00:08:21] this whole thing is, according to Chris, here it is. I mean, listen, who knows what's going on? Donald Trump lies every single day. Clearly, he's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the [00:08:40] Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary. If you go deeper into the statement from the Iranian National Security Council, They claim that Trump has also agreed to Iran's right to enrichment to suspend all sanctions against Iran and to allow Iran to keep their missile program, their [00:09:00] drone program, and their nuclear program. Now, who knows if any of that is true, but if at the very least this agreement gives Iran the right to control the strait, that is cataclysmic for the world. And it is just stunning that that's where we have gotten to. The hell is [00:09:20] going on. So you engage with the conflict with Iran, you talk big and bad, civilization will be destroyed tonight. And then you do it about face, well, you know what I was about to do it, but they came to the table with reasonable negotiations. We will provide those negotiations. [00:09:37] And then when you see what the President of the United States has agreed to, it gives Iran more power than they have ever had internationally in the history of their nation. [00:09:53] Trump said just a few days ago, we're good on oil in America. We don't need the straight, is what he said to reporters. So why this about face? What has happened? Seems as if, and we know Trump likes to be paid off. But his policy is so damn schizophrenic that if you [00:10:16] just follow the trend, you may see an interesting. had an emerge and I'm not just talking about his international policy, but also his internal institution himself. He makes decisions for himself. He makes decisions for himself. Don't forget that part. And please don't say he wouldn't [00:10:40] do something like that, would he? How many years have we been saying that about this particular individual? None of it makes sense. except for you have a human being who's compromised in the most powerful position in America. Now here we go. Let's talk about the alleviation [00:11:03] of the embarrassment. So Hexeth is doing this best strong arm plan here. Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth. um Interesting. Doubling down on America's humiliation, Iran is showing who seems to have the upper [00:11:21] hand. Iranian regime wants to pocket $1 million for each ship that passes through the reopened Strait of Hormuz for two weeks. While the US and Iran negotiate a peace deal, regional officials have claimed, according to Bloomberg, the ships must inform intermediary companies linked to [00:11:42] the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. of the ship's cargo, destination, and the ultimate owner of that particular vessel. Iran then charges what they call a toll of at least $1 per uh barrel. And this must be paid in the Chinese crypto currency, which we talked about in [00:12:02] this show a while ago in reference to the Iranian and the Chinese government connection or their partnership in both currency and also satellite navigation. There's more. Defense Secretary Hicks. On Wednesday, called on Iran to turn over its stockpile of 970 pounds of highly [00:12:23] enriched uranium, saying that President Trump could still order a US commando raid to seize the material, which could be quickly made, ready to use in a nuclear device. Quote, we know exactly what they have, Mr. Hicks has told reporters at a news conference at the Pentagon the day [00:12:43] after the United States and Tehran agreed on a two week ceasefire. as a step to negotiate a broader resolution. Quote, they will either give it to us, Mr. Hex has said, of the enriched material, or we'll take it out. Such a mission would at minimum involve hundreds of special [00:13:02] US operation troops and would come with high risk, current and former commanders say. I said, when asked exactly how the enriched uranium would be removed, said quote, that's something [00:13:18] the President is going to have to solve, end quote. You would think that we won based on how our government and Fox News is reporting on this, here it is. No other President has [00:13:33] shown the courage and resolve of this Commander in Chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire and we all know it. No, no, no, what we do know um is that [00:13:52] they made some dope ass Lego rap uh characters out of this whole thing. We do know that they troll Trump and embarrassed him holistically. We do know that they have more rights to the [00:14:07] straight officially than they did prior. And we do know that they have found another way to monetize that they did not have before. We do know that children have died. We do know that military soldiers have been killed or a feckless coward. [00:14:32] dodged any opportunity to serve his nation himself or even pay taxes. That's what we do. ah Here's what Laura Ingraham had to say. I just got off the phone with President Trump. And I will [00:14:50] say this, we'll read the whole post later. I literally just had to rewrite the whole show. ah He was extremely serious in my conversation with him just now. And he was also cautiously, but seriously optimistic. He told me that the negotiations are and were incredibly complex. [00:15:11] He does not want them jeopardized. There still needs to be an announced agreement. And of course, we all know in this part of the world, anything can happen. But it sure looks like Iran blinked. [00:15:26] What? Iran bling. Iran was the one saying bring it. Iran was the one saying, nope, we're not talking to you anymore, let's fight. Iran is the one who after Trump threatened to destroy their civilization, which by the way is a war crime to target civilian infrastructure, really [00:15:46] for the sake of oil. It was Iran who had their people surround. those particular targets uh and show solidarity with the broader international community. Previsions were held in the United [00:16:05] States of America against the United States of America. All right, here we go. So Israel, were they informed? Nope, not until the end. Israel, which wasn't formally part of the Iran negotiations, wasn't happy that it got word that a deal was finalized at a late stage [00:16:25] and wasn't consulted. That's according to mediators and a person very familiar with the matter. The extent of the consultation was Trump calling Netanyahu shortly after, excuse me, shortly [00:16:41] before the ceasefire was announced, a White House official confirmed Netanyahu agreed to participate in the ceasefire, the official added. The Israeli Prime Minister's office did not immediately respond to a request or comment. Mediators said Israel officials weren't happy [00:17:01] with the terms, including the planned inclusion of Lebanon in the agreement. as Israel considers Iran and Lebanon separate arenas. And Yahoo said Wednesday morning that the deal did not include Lebanon contradicting an earlier statement by Pakistan. And remember, they are part of [00:17:20] the negotiations, which is they are mediating the talks. The Israeli military said Wednesday that it had ceased military operations in Iran, but was continuing to strike Hezbollah in Lebanon. I'm going to get into some direct quotes in just a moment. But remember, for [00:17:39] decades Netanyahu has made the case that Iran must be stopped because they are enriching uranium to become a nuclear power. In the agreement or at least the uh potential agreement that [00:17:56] we have that Trump said he's open to, it clearly says that they will be allowed to enrich uranium for their nuclear program. Here it is, head of the opposition party, Nishreel said, quote. There has never been such a political disaster in all our history. Israel wasn't even at [00:18:19] the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security. End quote, I'm going to read more in just a moment. Israel was not at the table. Isn't that something? [00:18:40] feels kind of like we weren't at the table when you all made the decision to partner together to go to war with the country that we had no beef with and utilize our taxpayer dollars to do so. So this president isn't known for bringing people to the table. Now you're getting [00:18:59] a taste of what it's like to partner with Trump. Good for you. The reason is because we have had our hands forced to fund wars that we do not believe in by way of our tax dollars being [00:19:17] taken from us who work every day. There's more. The quote continues, the military carried out everything that was asked of it. The public demonstrated amazing resilience, but Netanyahu failed politically, failed strategically and didn't meet a single one of the goals that [00:19:32] he himself set. It will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu and Trump wrought due to arrogance, negligence, and a lack of strategic planning. The US and Israel already ah compromising the ceasefire. However, here it is. State media reports that [00:19:53] Iran has halted the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Earlier today, we know two vessels were able to go through this passageway. But again, state media is reporting that the Iranians are choking off the strait. [00:20:10] There were reports of explosions on two Iranian islands and at least one oil facility off the coast of Iran, an indication that the United States or Israel is still conducting airstrikes against the Iranian regime. Um, yeah. incompetence, corruption, bigotry, all love it into one. [00:20:37] All right, Jack, thoughts here. Well, I think that anytime people think that Trump is gonna start behaving like an adult is always just a moment of hope and naivete. Because a man [00:20:53] who stopped developing emotionally at the age of four, who's in a complete mess of a situation. There's no telling what's really gonna happen going forward because after everything that we've done, we have little to no leverage to dictate terms in this situation. We've already [00:21:12] broken the ceasefire. And Donald Trump's never really gonna live this down. He's never gonna hear the end of this. He can't really spend this in a way that makes him or the country look good. So is he really gonna pull out of there or is he gonna wake up in a day or two [00:21:29] and feel like he has to get revenge on his name? Because people aren't putting enough respect on his name today. We've already got troops and bases over there. So this situation isn't over. um And we'll just have to keep taking it a day at a time. But also Donald Trump is [00:21:46] a man who has no scruples or filter of any kind. um He's got a slush fund account in Qatar filled with hundreds of millions of dollars from Venezuelan oil sales. He's the president for life on the board of the peace board that he made. And he just funneled one and a quarter [00:22:08] billion dollars from various government agencies into this board into an account that he controls. His family's made billions of dollars from his presidency. I mean, there's nothing. There's no mechanism in his body and his brain and his soul that tells him, no, don't do this. This [00:22:29] isn't a good idea. we don't know how this is gonna end out. Yesterday morning, he said he was gonna nuke Iran basically. And then he's like, okay, for two weeks we good, but the [00:22:44] ceasefire is already broken. And this is a man who can't. take defeat or admit to fault or take blame whatsoever. So unfortunately, we still have to take this a day at a time. Yeah, [00:22:59] and coupled with his obvious cognitive decline, coupled with his sensational need for praise, and also his love and infatuation with money. Cory Booker, Senator Booker did a breakdown [00:23:19] of how much money Trump and his family, how much they've made in year one. And it totals to over $1 billion in year one.
