00:02:13.080and that was to make clear that this agreement that he has reached with Iran
00:02:18.420is different from that Obama-era Iran deal that he has been so critical of
00:02:22.920and that this was a good agreement for the United States
00:02:25.980and tried to convince the skeptical American public
00:02:28.920that includes so many Republicans, as you just so clearly laid out.
00:02:32.920The president said that this deal ensures that Iran will not procure
00:02:36.760or produce a nuclear weapon. It says it will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, that critical oil
00:02:42.520thoroughfare. He also defended the waivers that allow Iran to export oil, as well as a provision
00:02:49.040that will have the U.S., along with regional partners, help develop a $300 billion economic
00:02:55.480development and rebuilding fund for Iran. The president making clear, though it still remains
00:03:01.100unclear exactly how this will work, that the U.S. will not be providing money directly there.
00:03:06.320He also said that ending this conflict is going to avoid, very notably, in his words, economic catastrophe.
00:03:13.740And he warned that that would have happened if this conflict kept on going, said he didn't want to be compared to Herbert Hoover.
00:03:20.860Notably, that's the U.S. president who presided over the Great Depression.
00:03:25.280Now, the president signed a hard copy of this agreement at the Palace of Versailles before traveling back to Washington.
00:03:31.820And what's really unclear right now is whether the 60-day clock for the very challenging technical negotiations ahead is actually already started or if it will start later this week when Vice President J.D. Vance heads to Switzerland for a signing ceremony.
00:03:47.660Now, meanwhile, the White House fielding all of this criticism.1.00
00:03:50.980And as you saw there, the president pushing back, saying that his critics were jealous or stupid.1.00
00:03:57.700Senator, are you OK with Iran having missiles?1.00
00:04:01.820You know, I'm hesitating. I'd prefer that they not. I certainly don't want them to have long distance missiles. I don't want them to have nuclear armed missiles. I would prefer they didn't. But I don't think that's the key issue here. I think that they have to be able to defend themselves. And I just kind of come back to the big picture here is that the Middle East countries like this agreement.
00:04:22.580Do you think Iran needs to be able to defend itself?
00:04:25.140I do. I think that they have to be able to defend themselves.
00:04:27.880Otherwise, we turn this into a forever war.
00:04:30.480You're never going to get them short of boots on the ground of surrendering everything,
00:04:35.460an unconditional agreement, if you will.
00:04:38.360But again, what I'm getting at here is this agreement has the support of most of the countries in the Middle East,
00:04:44.380and I think that's going to give it more of a long-lasting relationship, a long-lasting success as well.
00:04:52.580Not very well. I mean, if you were an Israeli listening to that, particularly the part about it's no big deal that Iran has missiles.
00:04:58.640Sure, I have no problem. You know, look, Saudi Arabia gets missiles.
00:05:01.480Well, that Hezbollah might fire a missile or two into Israel.
00:05:04.320And again, just the numbers. I think there's a chance of trying to write this story, but some of these keeps happening, that Bibi Netanyahu will try to scuttle this deal somehow.
00:05:13.600Yeah. You know, we'll continue the fighting in Lebanon. It's very clear another one for Iran.
00:05:18.420This is a sea star that includes Lebanon and the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
00:11:38.640And on Iran particularly, it really is the sort of bogeyman or holy grail for a type of old guard hawk that is, yeah, pretty closely aligned with Israel.
00:11:49.840Because as you correctly point out, if it was just about the power of potential foes for the United States, you know, China and Russia's power dwarfs Iran.
00:12:00.340So it is very curious how the Reagan wing self-declared Republican Party is so obsessed with this.
00:12:06.760no it's a maniacal obsession i think it probably register on the like dsm it's it's crazy um i'm
00:12:14.980curious you use the word pretend right and there's a lot of i think foreign influence ops going around
00:12:20.180a lot of people being paid to tweet things kind of interesting information warfare operations going
00:12:25.220on i'm curious from your perspective as someone who has been in the middle east you know commentary
00:12:29.760space for a while not just say you know newfound armchair expert like it seems like some of these
00:12:35.080people on XR. What can you tell the audience about what they sort of need to look out for
00:12:39.200or just what that ecosystem actually looks like in terms of, you know, certain American
00:12:43.300voices being pushed to peddle talking points on behalf of foreign countries on both sides
00:12:48.300to either sabotage or support the deal?
00:12:51.840Yeah, I mean, look, you don't have to be focusing about bots or even media figures.
00:12:55.700There are members of this administration. The ambassador to Israel, alleged so-called,
00:13:00.100is really the ambassador from Israel. Mike Huckabee has been openly stating that Netanyahu
00:13:06.480should potentially find ways to scupper the deal, that elements of the MOU are unacceptable.
00:13:12.080Mike Huckabee works for the American people. He works for the president of the United States.
00:13:16.260So this stuff is outrageous. It wouldn't be tolerated in any other country. This wouldn't
00:13:21.500be tolerated with China. This wouldn't be tolerated with France. And to the point that
00:13:26.640you were getting at about the information space. Yeah, I mean, look, it's oftentimes just not very
00:13:32.220sophisticated. You can look at it online, and a lot of these people don't even have American flags
00:13:36.660in their bios. They have foreign flags in their bios, or they have foreign flags first. And then
00:13:41.260third, there's not even really an attempt oftentimes from what I'll call the Israel first crowd to even
00:13:46.840argue with the American interests. They glide past it. They breeze past it. They take it as a
00:13:52.960as a certitude that American interest is either secondary to Israeli national interest or is
00:13:59.940identical. And of course, it's not. And of course, they'll technically maintain that there's any
00:14:03.740difference. But when the rubber meets the road, when the prime minister's office in Jerusalem
00:14:09.860or Tel Aviv doesn't want something, you can be pretty sure which side they're going to defer
00:14:15.320to. And it's not the side of the United States, which is a scandal. These are supposed to be
00:14:20.040americans kurt if you can hang with us through the break i want to drill down a bit more and

00:17:32.640just give us your sort of broader, broadest assessment of what the posse needs to be
00:17:37.840looking out for. I know there's a lot of kind of timelines and contingencies on this deal.
00:17:42.360What do you think are the most important variables that we need to be tracking?
00:17:47.200Well, I mean, as everyone knows, the president of the United States loves optics. So this
00:17:50.780potential handshake with President Pajeskian, apparently, of Iran tomorrow with President
00:17:57.740Trump in Switzerland will be, I think, one for the ages.
00:18:02.980I think it will be important to see how it goes.
00:18:05.320To my knowledge, I'm not sure the two men have ever met, let alone even spoke on the
00:18:09.580phone, although that's always a bit murky, you know, how much contact there has been
00:18:14.200between the White House and the Iranians.
00:18:15.620And then from there, you know, I think the real timeline is set by the Israeli election in October, unfortunately, and whether or not Benjamin Netanyahu will try to get the United States back in the deal or to sabotage the deal.
00:18:29.240Because unfortunately, as part of the deal, the U.S. has to constrain its partner or very junior partner, as I believe President Trump said yesterday.
00:18:39.540And if Israel does go back into Lebanon, I think it could endanger the whole piece.
00:18:44.440And so I think this summer is going to be pretty fraught on this.
00:18:48.300And then the Iran hawks are already – the more sophisticated of them are already calling this – Iran fought this round, this round, implying that we need to go back later in 26 or 27.
00:19:02.920I think Donald Trump didn't change politics.
00:19:06.080Donald Trump didn't become president of the United States twice over just to be bogged down in the Middle East.
00:19:12.980He can focus on other things. I'm happy to talk about it. But as everyone is aware, this was not good for America. This was not good for him. It's time to to move on and move forward. And I think he's he's achieved a deal worth celebrating and a deal worth commending. And I think it's one that can protect Americans and move his administration beyond the morass of Hormuz. Thank you.
00:19:37.100Kurt Mills, if people want to get the magazine, stay up to date with everything you got going on, where can they go to do that?
00:19:42.980Yeah, the magazine is theamericanconservative.com, www.theamericanconservative.com. We were founded in 2002 by Pat Buchanan and others against the Iraq War. As you can tell, we're very much against this Iran war and for its end and for this deal. And my own commentary and work is at Kurt, at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X. And, you know, you can find me on the Internet. Thank you.
00:20:06.320thank you sir for joining us in war and posse i will give you a little reprieve from iran iran
00:20:14.780iran i don't i don't know if i necessarily voted for such an iran focused news cycle
00:20:19.940um but then again i don't think i voted for mark zuckerberg to be sitting ringside at ufc i thought
00:20:25.080i voted for him to go to prison but i digress i've got a new sub stack up everybody should
00:20:30.260read it you can subscribe it's free that's nataliegwinters.substack.com talking about
00:20:36.960a little new thing called social justice summer camps uh and it's not as bad as it sounds it's
00:20:43.700actually worse because they're actually paying kids in some cases hundreds of dollars as young
00:20:49.140as middle school and high school to go to these extremely radical like color revolution inspired
00:20:55.100programming, teaching them tactics, not just in protest. One of the classes is actually they
00:21:00.520teach kids how to burn an effigy, burn things that they say represent oppression and burn them
00:21:06.320an effigy. Or of course, there's the class, quote, loving your trans body. Yeah, that's happening,0.99
00:21:13.780I think, in Wisconsin. And of course, all of this goes on while they say they're challenging
00:21:18.420white supremacy, the patriarchy and heteronormativity. But what gets really interesting,
00:21:23.840and maybe we need J.D. Vance and his fraud task force to look into is one of the groups that is
00:21:28.800sponsoring and has sort of come up with a template of these summer camps. It's called the Education
00:21:33.220Justice Coalition. That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard. But that's based in Vermont, of course.
00:21:40.720But they're actually funded by Vermont's Department of Health, if you can make that make sense.
00:21:45.700They focus on training kids and identity, LGBTQIA plus rights, feminism, gun violence,
00:21:51.180anti-racism, disability rights, lawmaking, and youth action, where they invite people from
00:21:55.820Planned Parenthood to come and speak. In Wisconsin, Freedom Inc. has a freedom youth organizing camp
00:22:02.260for only youth of color, ages 12 to 18. And there, kids would learn public speaking, door knocking,
00:22:10.880canvassing, data analysis, and specifically to push the, quote, no cops in school campaign while
00:22:17.920pushing their schools to divest from the police. But my personal favorite, and by that I mean
00:22:23.380should probably see the feds like rate it today, is the Odyssey Teen Camp, which has programming
00:22:31.480such as, quote, discuss protests, change the world, where they make signs. One of the example signs
00:22:38.260is, I want to get this, right, quote, I get my cardio running away from heteronormativity.
00:23:12.460let that sink in again middle school and high school kids are on the receiving end of this
00:23:17.880and getting paid hundreds of dollars to attend I think another good one is effigy burning quote
00:23:23.540this class uses a little witchcraft to bring catharsis we build cardboard representations
00:23:28.300of oppressions and injustices and then burn them up in a campfire
00:23:32.600this is certainly a different take on summer camp and like I said in some cases being funded
00:23:40.620by state government, but being funded by, of course, all the weird shady left-wing
00:23:44.720nonprofits that are part of their dark money network that I guess also happen to fund their
00:23:48.580candidates here in Washington, D.C. Talk about depravity. And speaking of depravity, I think
00:23:55.480that's probably a good word to describe how elections are run in Los Angeles and maybe Los
00:24:00.480Angeles as a whole, but I'm optimistic. It's naturally beautiful. I hope we can save it. I
00:24:05.380thought Spencer Pratt gave us a good chance, but of course the machine out there gives Chicago a
00:24:10.420run for its money and doing what it does best, which is fix elections. Sam Fabbis, before we
00:24:15.320get into all things Iran with you, I want to just give you a chance. I know you have some
00:24:19.040thoughts, probably some great writing too on everything going on in LA, the mayoral race
00:24:23.940there. Can you bring the audience up to speed with what's happening?
00:24:29.040Right. By the way, I will not be attending either the effigy burning or the loving the
00:24:34.960trans body seminars or whatever those were just for the record noted so just want everybody to
00:24:41.540be clear uh look we there they just had what under california law is the primary for race for the
00:24:52.500mayor of los angeles i i phrase it that way because they have what amounts to sort of a primary where
00:24:59.000republicans and the democrats run together and then the top two finishers face off against
00:25:06.360each other in the general in the fall so it's not two separate primaries as in most normal places
00:25:13.000um the republican candidate was in second place clearly uh after after most of the votes had been
00:25:22.840counted and then magically in the typical fashion people have gotten used to all of a sudden a whole
00:25:29.760flood of votes appeared from nowhere and he was pushed out and this lady who's basically a
00:25:36.680communist is now in second place so we will now have two two democrats two communists running
00:25:43.480against each other in the fall and no republican candidate the real focus here is on how i mean
00:25:49.680This obviously happened, no surprise, because of mail-in votes that flooded in by the tens of thousands.
00:25:54.600And the real focus here is on what California law actually says in that regard.
00:25:58.800And I'm not making this up, even though this is going to sound like science fiction.
00:26:03.160You have a huge homeless population in Los Angeles.
00:26:06.140If you say you're homeless, you have no fixed address, you can actually register to vote and just give a physical location where you crash at night.
00:26:13.620You can literally say, I sleep at the bus stop at the corner of 1st and Main or whatever.
00:26:18.780And that qualifies. Now, the mail won't be delivered to that location. So you are then allowed to specify any other address where you want your mail-in ballot to go. It doesn't necessarily have to have any connection to you as an individual. Typically, these are nonprofits in areas where the homeless congregate. Unlimited numbers of mail-in ballots can be all delivered to the same location.
00:26:43.280If you then say you can't write, you don't actually have to sign your ballot.
00:26:48.960You can literally mark an X like you're a pirate or something.
00:28:38.360We'll get into more of that in Iran with Sam Faddis.
00:28:40.660We're trying to stuff after the break.
00:28:44.400Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices,
00:28:47.840but there's another grim reality to this contention.
00:28:52.500Oil isn't the only resource being constrained.
00:28:54.740about one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring
00:29:00.460planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't
00:29:05.840afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know
00:29:11.260what comes next. Higher food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why
00:29:17.440having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at My

00:30:43.820well, Steve's name Bannon to the number 989898 today. You are back in the war room. We are still
00:30:50.600join. All right. It's all good. Denver or D.C. You never know where war is being produced out of.
00:30:57.940I'll take the blame for that one. Sam Faddis. I want to pivot, although I am shocked at the
00:31:03.660homeless, the homeless vote. Apparently you got it. You got to cater to the homeless constituency
00:31:07.760when you're campaigning now, or we could just have election laws that resemble that of a first
00:31:12.060world country. I don't know which will happen first. There's anything more you want to say
00:31:17.100about the loopholes there, please. I'm sure the audience is on the edge of their seat and very
00:31:21.580enraged. But let's pivot to Iran, too. We had Kurt Mills. He gave us his assessment. But
00:31:27.260your thoughts on the MOU, where we stand? There's a lot of converging and conflicting timelines.
00:31:32.480This isn't something that's happening overnight. What you think we need to be looking out for,
00:31:36.320what we need to be tracking, all of that. Right. Well, I mean, look, as anybody who knows me knows,
00:31:46.040i'm you know if i had been in a position to advise the president before this war started my
00:31:51.160my advice would have been don't do this don't start this war this is a very bad idea uh and
00:31:58.120if his determination was well we're gonna go i would have said well then don't do it this way
00:32:03.320because this isn't gonna work i don't know who told you that bombing them uh for a week was
00:32:09.400going to cause the regime to fall but they don't know either don't know anything about the regime
00:32:14.360where they're lying to your face having said all of that we started the war we prosecuted it
00:32:20.680i get it that we want it to be over me too
00:32:25.720it's a bad deal and we are going to hand them a whole lot of money and we're going to lift
00:32:33.400sanctions and allow them to make even more money selling oil and buying anything they want around
00:32:39.000the planet the iranians are great people persian civilization great civilization the guys running
00:32:45.080the place do not want coexistence they don't want to get along they want don't want us to
00:32:50.120just leave them alone they want to set the middle east on fire they've been doing it for almost 50
00:32:55.400years you're now going to give them the means to do that they have literally already publicly
00:33:01.640announced that they intend to give a significant portion of the money they're going to get from
00:33:08.120this deal to hezbollah so it can expand its fight against israel and setting the middle east on fire
00:33:15.560they are making no secret about this they already have it characterized this war as the little jihad
00:33:22.680and announced it is now time for the great jihad i wish that weren't true but that's who you're
00:33:29.800talking about the guy the most powerful guy in iran right now is general vahidi who runs the
00:33:35.800the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. His whole life is the revolution. He's got a criminal
00:33:41.800indictment against him for blowing up a Jewish center in Argentina and killing and wounding
00:33:47.220hundreds of people. His whole gig when he ran Quds Force was terror, spreading terror attacks
00:33:54.220around. That's who you're actually talking to, not more rational, moderate guys that learned
00:33:59.860their lesson so you know what do i think i think this deal is not going to work it may fall apart
00:34:06.960within a few days because the israelis will absolutely try to sabotage it no question
00:34:11.760they're not leaving lebanon they're not going to abide by this or it may hang together for a little
00:34:17.320while but then it's it's going to collapse and my fear is we're going to be right back in a war
00:34:24.540with these guys only we will have given them the time and the cash to get a lot stronger and again
00:34:32.360I wish all of that wasn't true I wish I could give you a different prognosis but that's where I think
00:34:37.780we are yeah I don't know if they're more or less trustworthy than uh the PRC when it comes to
00:34:45.320signing things like this and that's not a good counterpart uh to be compared to not the best
00:34:49.940track record there. I'm curious though, you know, for instance, I have Kurt Mills on, I have you on
00:34:54.820and we have the whole panoply of wonderful war room, you know, guests and everybody sort of has
00:35:00.000a different view on it, but it seems like for very different reasons. So I'm curious how you view
00:35:06.080sort of the legacy media's coverage of it because they seem semi-critical of it, but they're coming
00:35:11.580at it from a very different vantage point. It's almost more like because it's Trump's deal,
00:35:15.400Whereas you have substantive criticisms of it. How do you see the sort of information warfare landscape shaping up around the deal, whether that's, you know, foreign influence, just whether it's just, oh, it's Trump.
00:35:30.080So we got to sabotage it. Do you think there's, you know, a solid case to be made in favor of it?
00:35:35.000Or do you think that that's just, you know, the people who want to give Trump, you know, a pat on the back saying, oh, you know, you ended another war.
00:35:40.860How do you sort of make sense of that?
00:35:43.340Yeah, well, I think it's all of the above, right?
00:35:45.380I mean, 100% people have their own agendas, and they tell you what fits with that agenda.
00:35:54.480I mean, there are clearly the legacy media, the folks who just, no matter what Trump does, they're going to stick a knife in him.
00:36:01.500And there are clearly, as Kurt suggests, the guys who just can't start enough frigging wars, who just want, you know, the ultra neocons who just think we should be engaged in combat everywhere.
00:36:14.520I note, by the way, that none of them ever show up in combat.
00:36:17.580They don't, nor do they send their sons and daughters to die.
00:40:34.220I know Microsoft has a long track record of doing that.
00:40:36.840I believe they actually built Windows 10 China Government Edition that the CCP operates basically their administration off of.
00:40:44.620But but what is what is that thought more broadly and what should the Pentagon be doing about this?
00:40:49.860It's front door access. So many large companies, you know, we mentioned Microsoft, but also a lot of the defense primes have direct relationships with the Chinese Communist Party and have joint ventures with Communist Party entities.
00:41:01.920One of them even has joint ventures with sanctioned entities.
00:41:06.160And the sense was, oh, well, we have to, you know, friends close, enemies closer.
00:41:11.060But that thinking doesn't really last anymore.
00:41:14.420And I'm hopeful that this Pentagon is going to be a lot more critical to defense primes and to companies like Microsoft and Apple and Amazon that both work with the DOW and have pretty decently close ties with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:41:31.020Both Washington and Beijing wants companies to choose sides.
00:41:35.320And American companies, we do really hope, will lean more to the U.S. side than the Chinese side.
00:41:42.680And that's what really pisses me off, right?
00:41:44.380It's like all these, you know, our betters, right, the elites, these companies who think they know how to wage war are literally collaborating with our existential threat who one day we will see on the battle.
00:41:53.640maybe kinetically, maybe not more dependent on, you know, if they choose to closely adhere to
00:41:58.660unrestricted warfare and everything laid out in that. I'm curious. I'm sure it's on the kind of
00:42:03.220forefront of the audience watching right now, their minds. How is this even legal? Right. How
00:42:08.120is it even possible for Chinese, even whether it's Article seven and it's vaguely CCP veiled or
00:42:14.500whatever, but these explicitly Chinese owned companies, how can they even collaborate with
00:42:18.540American defense companies? I mean, it's asinine. It's absurd. It's such a great question. And0.97
00:42:25.220really what it is, is the laws haven't caught up to the reality. And we saw that with TikTok as
00:42:29.060well. And on social media, it was laws restricting foreign ownership didn't apply to social media.
00:42:35.020So you had TikTok grow there. I also want to talk about what happened recently with
00:42:39.540BIS and Arm of Commerce, which decided not to go after DeepSeek, which decided not to go after a
00:42:45.500company called CXMT, which is a very large Chinese memory maker. And the problem is folks see memory
00:42:52.760chips as just some sort of commodity and don't realize that CXMT has very serious ties to the
00:42:58.580Chinese Communist Party. And allowing companies like that to thrive in the United States does
00:43:03.340raise very serious national security questions. Isaac, if you can hang with us through the break,
00:43:09.180I want to get on to some concerning things the PRC is doing with regard to the Philippines.
00:43:13.620but we're impressed we've got a quick message from home title lock a war room og sponsor for

00:44:08.040Listen up, patriots. President Trump is dropping a 100 trillion dollar bomb on the globalist.
00:44:15.560Jerome Powell's term has come to a close and he's installing a real America first Fed chair who will, according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our reindustrialization.
00:44:28.760This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary, unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium and gold.
00:44:40.900The same forces that turned five thousand dollars into over a million in less than five years during China's booms are hitting here now.
00:44:49.120Jim Rickards, the former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor, has the battle plan.
00:44:54.540The gold royalty stock that could skyrocket in the next few years and the Iranian power for AI.
