Trump Suddenly CALLS OFF Iran Talks In Fit Over Strait Of Hormuz Proposal

We're not going to 15 hours in airplanes all
the time going back and forth to be giving
a document that was not good enough. And so
we'll deal by telephone and they can call us
[00:00:16]
anytime they want. They gave us a paper that
should have been better. And interestingly,
immediately when I canceled it, within 10 minutes
we got a new paper that was much better. We
talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon.
It's very simple. Well, as we talked about
[00:00:39]
earlier on the show, the man lies. So definitely
take it with a giant grain of salt that Iran
gave him a letter or a paper as he kept calling
it saying that they would not get a nuclear
weapon. There is no evidence of that, but Trump
did cancel the talks between the US and Iran.
[00:00:55]
So now Trump is claiming that it was canceled
because we have all the cards. Do we though?
That's really not how it's looking to anyone
who is not Trump. So the latest is that Iran
has outlined what they want and it doesn't
sound like they're willing to give up its nuclear
[00:01:11]
program. So Iran has offered to end its chokehold
on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the
US lifting its blockade on the country and
end an end to the war while proposing that
discussions on the larger question of its nuclear
program would come in a later phase. And that's
[00:01:28]
from two regional officials. That's what's done
on Monday. So the proposal would push off negotiations
on Iran's nuclear program to a later date. So
Iran's armed forces would be the authority
responsible for the Strait of Hormuz under the
country's proposed law for managing the waterway.
[00:01:45]
oh Yeah, the top officials on Monday, so Ibrahim
Azizi, the head of the National Security Commission
in Iran's parliament, told state television
that the armed forces were already in control
of the strait. And we're seeking to prohibit
the passage of hostile vessels. So Iran is
[00:02:04]
proposing that shipping companies should pay
charges for specific services when they cross
the Strait of Hormuz in a move that would enable
it to raise money from shipping traffic without
presenting the payment as a toll. So Trump will
most likely not take this deal. Meanwhile,
[00:02:21]
we have confirmation that Israel did push the
US into the war. We have confirmation that
Israel is responsible for everything that we're
dealing with right now, which is exactly what
we all suspected. So the State Department admitted
it in this government release. It says Epic
[00:02:36]
Fury is only the latest round of an ongoing
international armed conflict with Iran. As
the United States has explained in multiple
letters to the UN Security Council, including
most recently on March 10th, the United States
is engaged in this conflict at the request
[00:02:53]
of and in the collective self-defense. its
Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of
the United States own inherent right of self
defense. JR, JR, do you make of it? They just
[00:03:08]
admitted the thing that we had all been saying,
the thing that they've been denying for so
long. What do we do with this now? Well, I
mean, the confirmation came when Marco Rubio
said so like the first couple of days afterwards
and then denied that he said it. These are
clowns. We already knew about this. But by
the way, pathetic is it? This guy lies his
[00:03:27]
ass off this much standing on that tarmac that
he has this whole story about being handed
a paper. This thing is called a paper. Then
I gave him a paper back. So the simplest question
of what was on the paper because even if you're
like a lackey journalist, you'll still be curious
enough to be like, yo, that's a great story,
Donnie. What's on the paper? Because that's
[00:03:46]
interesting. You're a badass. You negotiated.
You wrote the art of the deal when you didn't.
And it's probably a bad book in the first place.
would be you'd normally ask that question.
He doesn't have an answer. How is it that you
constructed this lie and you didn't even have
[00:04:02]
a follow up answer for making up what was on
that paper that someone can ask you about?
So maybe you can continue to puff your chest
out and say that you're a badass. He didn't
even have the answer. What does he expect these
conversations to be like? He tells a story
and someone's not supposed to ask a question.
Even sycophag minions would may want to ask
[00:04:19]
that question. And instead um it's that they
shouldn't have a nuclear weapon. That's what
was on the paper? Was that on the paper you
gave back to them? What was on the paper that
they gave to you? Dummy, he's stupid. Anyways,
also, he keeps talking about how we have all
[00:04:34]
the cards. If anybody knows maybe the origins
of a term like we have all the cards, maybe
that's in like a game you're playing. And if
you have all the cards, what you could do with
those cards is eventually lay them down and
then you win the game. When are you going
to lay down those winning cards, bro? When is
that going to happen? Because at this point,
[00:04:52]
this continues to be at this stalemate. You
keep playing other cards that aren't winning
cards. um I feel like even if you want him to
play the cards and win the game, eventually
you're getting frustrated with these cards never
being played. I feel like the whole line
about having all the cards isn't real. Yeah,
I mean, we know he doesn't have any cards.
[00:05:12]
We know that whatever cards he did have, he's
played them all. We also know that he's blowing
through all of our money. through all of our
stockpiles, well, like half of it's gone by
now. And then there's no way that they can
replenish it quickly enough. So ah that's where
we're at right now. And that, I mean, they
admitted the thing and there's not a whole
[00:05:32]
lot that like I can do about it. So I guess
we'll just see what happens.
