We're gonna see what happens. We're in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless. We've been at it now for 21 hours and uh we've had a number of substantive discussions with [00:00:15] the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. I don't care if they come back or not. If they don't come back, I'm fine. I'm over there. I'm not getting blown up. I do agree with him on one part. We are in deep negotiations, [00:00:36] I guess. Deep something anyway. Yeah, so it fell apart. I mean, we sent JD Vance, we sent our best little boy. How could it have fallen apart? We're all shocked and chagrined by this. Realistically though, setting aside the sarcasm, I guess it's not a surprise that it fell apart [00:00:55] considering- that our deal breakers and their deal breakers, that doesn't go together at all. And so let's have some more war. Let's kill some more kids. Let's burn billions more dollars. Why not? I mean, we win anyway, Trump said. And if he says it, even if he says it [00:01:14] a week after desperately trying to get around to do a ceasefire because he could see how terrible this is going for us, then what's the difference? as JD Vance says, it's worse for them because right now I'm a tough guy. In 18 months, I'll be denying I had any part in any of this as I pitched myself as being anti intervention right now. Worse for them [00:01:33] than it is for us. No, it's bad for us actually. It's bad for us right now. I mean, know JD Vance doesn't have to worry about filling up his gas tank. And Donald Trump doesn't seem to care that Republicans approval ratings are through the toilet and down through the piping. yeah, it's rough. It's rough. Let's talk now briefly about some of the consequences because- [00:01:52] We've got the negotiations of all part. And then we have the escalation, which is in some limited sense, kind of makes sense, but is also deeply ironic and insane at the same time we'll get to that. But first, our red lines of which there were many, Iran must [00:02:08] end all uranium enrichment. So that's not just for weapons, that's for nuclear power as well. Dismantle all of their facilities, which sort of goes along with it. Retrieve the highly enriched uranium from underneath the obliterated mountain or whatever. accept a broader peace and de-escalation deal with America's regional allies, which sounds more like what Iran [00:02:28] wants. I mean, they want Lebanon to stop being bombarded by Israel or whatever. And funding for groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen. And then fully open the Strait of Hormuz, including no charging tolls for ships passing through, which must have felt like a little bit of a betrayal considering Donald Trump seemed so jazzed about a partnership [00:02:45] to charge tolls like six days ago. Now it's a red line. Nobody would ever charge a toll. I do want that money though. It's a little bit inconsistent bargaining there, but altogether it's a lot. And the end result is I'm not going to read you all this true social. It's just [00:03:01] rambling dementia ridden nonsense. But he says blah, blah, blah. We blew up everything. Their Navy's at the bottom of the ocean. Their Air Force at the, I don't know, the top of the clouds, whatever he wants to say or whatever. The long and short of it though is that regardless of all the obliteration and decimation, We can't secure the Strait of Hormuz. It is closed right [00:03:21] now as I say this. So the continuing supply chain issues with gas and helium and aluminum, all sorts of stuff that goes on. But anyway, he says we're locked and loaded. Maybe we'll finish up the little that is left of Iran. Again, not the Iranian regime, not their leadership, [00:03:40] not their military, the country. We're going to finish up what's left of Iran. And don't tell me he didn't have the words to be more specific. That was the 800th word in that social media post. If he wanted to be more specific, he could have. We already got through [00:03:55] the whole destroying the civilization thing. He knows how much criticism he got for implying that he's going to kill every Iranian. And now he's back to doing it once again. And by the way, they say blah, blah, blah, we're going to blow up their fast attack ships if they try to do mines or whatever. He says if they come near our blockade, because we're [00:04:12] gonna blockade the straight of hormones now, we'll use the same system of kill that we used against the drug deals. That's the literal words he used, the same system of kill. It is quick and brutal. Yeah, just ask those fishermen who ran afoul of it in the Caribbean. But don't [00:04:28] worry, it was so good that we stopped 98.2 % of drugs coming to the US. That exact amount, that's how much it was. Man, he loves his numbers. But anyway, so yeah, JR. it is blockaded, like we're not blockaded, but effectively you can't go through. So now we're going to stop [00:04:46] any ships that they allow through, which again, I guess that makes sense. If they want to let a Chinese ship or Iranian ship through, then we're going to stop it. It makes sense if you zoom into just responding to the tactic the Iranians are using. But if you zoom out [00:05:03] to how the hell did we get to this position? then it's a terrible position. And if you cast your lens forward in time, okay, so how does this play out? So Iran says to a Chinese ship, you can go through and then we stop that ship? And China is cool with that? What do we detain [00:05:23] the crew? Do we fire on it if it refuses to stop? Does this spiral into a war with China or Russia or whoever else they might be allowing through? Did anyone think through literally any of this? No, Pete Hegsith is still in a, he's an alcohol soaked haze from the weekend [00:05:41] or whatever. Donald Trump understands less every day of his life. However deranged and dementia ridden he was when he posted those tweets last week, his brain has lost more neurons every day since then. So JR, what do you make of the new status quo? Well, it's pretty obvious. I mean, the whole point here is the original plan was savage behavior where you go and murder [00:06:00] folks. And after you murder them, they're going to do everything that you say. That was their one and only plan. I've said it so many times. And it seems like it's way too simplistic, but it's actually probably way too complex for how they actually think. Their idea was white supremacy is that we have all these bombs, have all these trains of dollars, we're going to [00:06:15] send into more warships and more war airplanes and everything we can, we're going to bomb them to hell. They said it, it's not like I'm making this up. They said it. The plan was we're going to get them on their knees and they're going to beg for the white supremacist to then give a let up on them. That's been their plan. So now that it didn't work, and then they thought [00:06:37] that we wouldn't notice that they sent JD Vance over there to negotiate. And before he went over there to negotiate, he said the plan here is to tell them we're going to, this is what we want and you're going to do it. Just like my wife, why don't let skydive. Did you guys see that? My god, that was insane. Compared to his wife who doesn't allow the skydive. [00:06:52] What the hell are you talking about? Anyways, do they think that we also wouldn't notice that when JD Vance went over there and then uh acted like he didn't see- that Israel was still bombing Lebanon and act like that wasn't anything part of a ceasefire. Do think people wouldn't notice that? Or do they also not think that every time Donald Trump talks about any [00:07:08] of this conflict and blocking the straight up for moves, that it wouldn't then lead to what he kept campaigning against being this rise in aggression and violence with other countries, with huge militaries that would end in this weird like World War Three thing or something that he kept saying that Kamala Harris would get us involved in. That was their first and [00:07:27] only objective. We've got lots of bombs. We've got lots of killing machines and we're going to kill until they say please stop it. He never thought about anything else. And now he has to think about something else. His answer to that other thing, which is the straight up for a moose is, how about some violence? That's what their plan was. They're stupid. Yeah, [00:07:47] and there's more violence coming. We'll get to it very briefly. Here he is talking a little bit about how this blockade is to work. Well, we're going to be blockading. It'll take a little while, but it'll be effective. pretty soon. And we had meetings yesterday, they, [00:08:02] as you said, lasted 21 hours. That was a long meeting with some very, very good representatives, as you know, JD and Steve and Jared. So we were well represented, but we didn't get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They're not going to have nuclear [00:08:18] weapons. They came in like they had the cards, but they don't have the cards. They have one thing that they can do. They can say, well, gee, we're going to put a mine someplace in the, just a mine. We'll drop one mine, two mines, ten mines. And that will, if you have a ship that costs a billion dollars, you say, well, I prefer not getting whacked by a mine, losing [00:08:35] my ship or damaging it badly, at least. And so that's a little bit of a thing that they could do, that it's military might and military power don't do it, but it's extortion. And they're extorting the world. Yes, they don't have any cards except the devastating one, [00:08:53] the one that's the only thing that really matters right now. So they do have a card. They have that ace, I suppose they have. Donald Trump is just, God damn, his brain is just decaying in real time, you can see it as it happens. So yeah, so it's closed down and that remains a big issue that was the issue. And now he's talking about more strikes against Iran. So [00:09:13] that peace deal, was nothing, the ceasefire was nothing. The fire never ceased, the strait was never open, four ships got through, that was it. And again, before we move on, just want you all to remember, they said- Trump said, we got this ceasefire because they were [00:09:28] begging for it. My God, they wanted it so bad. Have they acted for one moment since then like they were the ones begging for it? Have they seemed worried about the ceasefire going away in any way? No, they definitely have not.
