Trump has officially spent way too much time with Nicki Minaj. And how do I know that he's saying that Iran is trifling as he tries to speak his blown ceasefire back into existence? So let's take a look at that. After these strikes, is the ceasefire with Iran still on? Yeah, [00:00:19] it is. They trifled with us today. We blew them away. They trifled. I call that a trifle. I'll let you know when there's no ceasefire. You won't have to know. If there's no ceasefire, you're not gonna have to know. You're gonna have to look at one big glow coming out of [00:00:34] Iran. And they better sign their agreement fast. Yes, could you give us an update on what is the latest in the talks? The talks are going very well, but they have to understand if it doesn't get signed, they're gonna have a lot of pain. So what he said is that the [00:00:52] ceasefire is still on unless he bombs Iran into one big glow. And that's what we will all see. I guess maybe we'd be able to see the glow all the way from here in the United States, but According to him, the talks are going very well, except of course for the big trifle, [00:01:08] which just makes me think of Rachel from Friends when she tried to make that trifle. But before we get to the state of the peace deal, the so-called peace deal that Iran has been considering, here are the details on what happened in Hormuz yesterday. So the US Central Command said in [00:01:25] a statement that Iranian missiles, drones, and small boats had attacked three American destroyers in the strait. But that US forces had eliminated inbound threats. And that statement goes on to say that we retaliated by launching strikes on Iran's military assets. And part of the [00:01:44] issue is that Iran is saying those strikes were their own retaliation for previous US actions. So it all is very confusing. So eh The Iranian military accused the United States of violating the ceasefire a day earlier by firing on an Iranian oil tanker that was heading toward [00:02:04] the Strait of Hormuz. It said it had retaliated by attacking US military vessels in the region. So maybe they won't need to retaliate for our bombing and we can return to the ceasefire or maybe they won't, especially since just this morning, here's this headline from CNBC. says, [00:02:22] US says it struck two Iran flagged oil tankers trying to skirt the blockade. So now returning to that peace deal. So I'm not going to make you listen to him again, because we already did that once. We already kicked off the show with that guy. But in a follow up to the clip [00:02:39] that you did just see at the start, he was asked how close to a peace deal uh is to being signed. And what he responded was he said it could happen any day. It might not happen. I believe they want the deal more than I do. Yeah, everyone believes they want the deal [00:02:55] more than you do. What they want also is to just open the straight, get the straight open and talk about nuclear later. And Trump's like, I'll think about it. But he's been thinking for a while. So after days now of consideration, Iran has offered this response to the proposed [00:03:12] deal. They said the key stumbling block to an initial agreement. is what to do about Iran's nuclear enrichment program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, the Iranian said. And Trump spoke on the nuclear aspect of this deal specifically yesterday. And he said that [00:03:29] Iran is the one that is flip-flopping on whether to agree or not. So he said, it's an offer that basically said they will not have nuclear weapons. They're going to hand us the nuclear dust and many other things that we want. And when asked whether they agreed to that, he [00:03:45] said yes, but added when they agree, it doesn't mean much because the next day they forget. That is ironic. The next day they forget that's what he is saying. Dementia Don is saying about the Iran peace deal. Brett, what are your thoughts on all this back and forth? It's [00:04:01] very confusing. Yeah, so Trump, basically, we are trying to get back to where we were in American Iranian relationship. before he scrapped the Obama deal. That's basically [00:04:17] all I can read there. But unfortunately, he thought he could get what he wanted and it would be easy because he has people in his ear that are not very good at this. The only thing they're good at is convincing him he's good and strong and awesome at fighting war. But [00:04:33] what they're trying to tell us is that the ceasefire is on, the war is over. And he is winning. But none of those things are true, right? In the last 48, in the last 36 hours, [00:04:50] there has been attacks on both American and Iranian assets. Trump had this whole thing called Project Freedom where he was like, okay, we're going to call Iran's bluff. We're going to escort people and show people a map so they can get through the Strait of Hormuz despite [00:05:08] Iran saying no, we blockade. And that failed immediately and they had to turn around and it was so hilarious. As much as Trump wants to say that they're trifling with us and we're showing them, look at this video that Iran put out. They took Trump and put him in the Austin [00:05:29] Powers clip where he's trying to turn around and get out of that narrow hallway in a Tesla by the way. But the fact is that he has gotten himself and this is so so amazing that they have this cutting edge 1990s reference technology. But it's so perfect that we've gotten ourselves [00:05:47] into the position that we can't get ourselves out of. And it's really awkward. Trump knows that there is a limit to how long you can have war before you need congressional approval, which he knows he's not gonna get, or which many people don't wanna even go to a vote to allow him to have. And so they're literally just changing the names of the war, declaring [00:06:06] ceasefires that are provably not happening. so that he can skirt a lot of this on a technicality. But dude, this is not some backyard basketball game where you can just be like, all right, I wasn't even trying, I'm over. This is the straight of horror moves where 20 % of the [00:06:24] oil in America is shipped. And it's costing, in the meantime, billions of dollars in Americans spending on gas and that's just for now before it hits the fan. And he's trying to get out and worse like what he's trying to is reestablish is like Iran has no enriched and does not enrich [00:06:45] uranium on their soil. We need to monitor that and there needs to be free transit through the Strait of Hormuz which is something that used to exist until he blew the thing up, pun intended. Yeah, and it's so funny because now they're even saying outright, say what we want [00:07:02] is for Iran to go back to how it was before Trump started doing all this stuff. And it's like you could have just done less, he could have just not done any of this. And we would have been right where we started. And hopefully, I mean, I guess he's hoping that he's going [00:07:17] to get some kind of negotiating power, some kind of leverage out of all of this. But it's not looking like any of that is happening right now. If anything is happening, we are seeing more countries look for more renewable energy sources because they're like we can't be so beholden to what's going on in the street anymore. And we're also seeing uh different countries [00:07:37] who are taking up the mantle that we once left. They're stepping in and providing oil and gas to other nations as they need it. And so we're actually we're losing political power around the world because of what Trump has done in the Strait of Hormuz. And part of it is just [00:07:53] that he wanted control of the street, but it's like what you said, he can't just pretend that, uh didn't even want it that bad. You did so much, you spent all of our money, you ran through all of our stockpiles just over something that you didn't really care about that much. [00:08:08] Get out of here then, what are you doing?
