00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions
00:00:06.800 here on Human Events Daily. So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you
00:00:11.900 hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends. Make sure they're
00:00:17.340 all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.580 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're
00:00:26.760 only going to do so much more. Let's get it. This is what happens when the fourth turning
00:00:36.760 meets fifth generation warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation,
00:00:47.560 and former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:52.400 Christ is king.
00:00:54.440 President Trump now arriving at Graceland for a bit of a detour on his stop.
00:01:00.780 Hello, everybody.
00:01:02.100 We were here and we're touting how well it's done with the crime stats.
00:01:06.400 And over a period of five months, it's way, way down and we're proud of it.
00:01:10.880 We're going to come back in two or three months and we'll have a very, very, one of the safest cities.
00:01:16.320 So Memphis went through a terrible thing.
00:01:18.560 And like in D.C., we're doing great.
00:01:22.160 And every place we go, we're doing great, to be honest with you.
00:01:24.900 So, Frank, I'd love to go to Chicago.
00:01:28.080 I'd love to be invited to Chicago.
00:01:29.800 The Trump administration says the top priority of ICE at airports is to cut down those wait times,
00:01:34.880 especially at places where it's taking hours for travelers to get checked in and screened.
00:01:39.600 President Trump is now giving Iran five more days, he says, saying the U.S. is now talking with Iran.
00:01:44.960 We have had very, very strong talks.
00:01:48.280 We'll see where they lead.
00:01:49.320 We have points, major points of agreement.
00:01:52.540 I would say almost all points of agreement.
00:01:54.520 But tonight, Iran insists, quote, no talks with the U.S. have taken place,
00:01:58.920 saying any claims to the contrary are aimed at influencing financial and oil markets
00:02:03.360 and distracting from the challenges facing the U.S. and Israel.
00:02:07.060 This was a direct hit.
00:02:11.500 Not far from Israel's main nuclear reactor, 0.92
00:02:14.480 showing Iran can keep raining missiles across Israel and the Middle East. 0.73
00:02:18.460 all while maintaining their almost total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
00:02:23.320 President Trump told the Iranians last night they have 48 hours to unblock the Strait
00:02:28.080 or he would obliterate their power plants.
00:02:31.420 Iran replied that all energy facilities belonging to the United States will be targeted in response. 0.55
00:02:36.500 In Charlie's absence, while he's away at an assignment with God,
00:02:40.800 that the worst thing we could do to honor Charlie's legacy in those days afterwards
00:02:48.440 to the hours, and now here we are a month, six months after.
00:02:52.700 The worst thing we could possibly do is to quit and give up and pack it up and say,
00:02:59.840 all right, well, you know.
00:03:01.020 Whether it's giving up on Ryan or giving up on his strategy.
00:03:04.940 Right.
00:03:05.180 Because his strategy was working, and that's exactly why he was killed.
00:03:09.700 So we're going to do what we can to try to keep Charlie's legacy going.
00:03:13.540 What do you guys think about that?
00:03:18.440 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:26.000 We are here live on Real America's Voice.
00:03:30.340 Today is March 24th, 2026, Anno Domini. 0.73
00:03:35.300 And today is day 25 of Operation Iran.
00:03:40.220 Of course, we've been talking yesterday about moving up the escalation ladder.
00:03:44.660 We are seeing the situation on the ground continue to continue to play out and, of course, seeing more and more strikes from Iran hitting into the hitting into Tel Aviv, hitting into Israel, making their way through Israeli air defense, the the, of course, famous Iron Dome.
00:04:06.820 But many questions arise over how much longer both sides are able to keep this up.
00:04:13.260 Of course, the air defense side from Israel and then, of course, Iran, their ability to wage war, which we know has been degraded. 0.54
00:04:21.340 But serious questions still remain about their ability to penetrate these air defenses of the U.S. and our allies and also to be able to strike targets, 0.91
00:04:32.700 specifically with these cluster munitions. And the great Trey Yengst has been there on the ground,
00:04:38.860 my former colleague, and he has been documenting this day in and day out of the civilian areas in
00:04:45.800 many places in Israel that have been struck by these Iranian missiles and cluster munitions.
00:04:52.980 We're also seeing, of course, real questions about the talks that are happening and news that I saw
00:04:59.680 this morning that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are reportedly now on the ground in Islamabad,
00:05:07.320 Pakistan. So they are there. They are directly on the border of Iran itself. Bold move, ballsy move,
00:05:15.180 being willing to go to the region in the middle of all of this, knowing that the Ayatollah had
00:05:21.020 just been assassinated a couple of weeks ago. This shows I think this absolutely shows that
00:05:26.340 The Trump administration is more than willing to take these talks seriously, but at the same time, also willing to go up the escalation ladder.
00:05:36.200 And we're also seeing reports of 82nd Airborne. I was talking about that yesterday.
00:05:40.580 Now that's starting to come out that the 82nd Airborne may have been called up.
00:05:44.520 We know that two marine expeditionary units from the USS Boxer, LHA, as well as the USS Tripoli are on their way to the Persian Gulf.
00:05:54.180 Does that mean a possible land invasion of Iran to take place?
00:06:00.580 You know, certainly not within the same scope of the Iraq invasion or Afghanistan in terms of trying to occupy the country.
00:06:08.480 But perhaps an operation in the Strait of Hormuz is in the works or for Karga Island, of course, which would be much trickier or possibly both.
00:06:17.980 Maybe send the 82nd to Karga Island and you send the Marines to the Strait of Hormuz.
00:06:22.980 I haven't I haven't heard of this from anyone. I'm not speaking from any specific reporting that I've done on this.
00:06:29.460 And I'll tell you, of course, we're working to find this out.
00:06:31.860 Last night, I was honored to participate in the Turning Point USA Pick Up the Mic tour at Arizona State University.
00:06:40.720 We had an incredible event there. We had great students to come out.
00:06:44.060 We're going to get you guys more footage of that when it comes.
00:06:46.560 We didn't live stream because that's, you know, Charlie's tradition was not to live stream them, but to break them up into the clips that come out.
00:06:54.560 And so we're going to continue that. And here's just a little bit of footage.
00:06:57.940 It was myself, Blake Neff, were there. Great questions from the students, you know, definitely had some some tough questions.
00:07:04.720 But we also had some good questions. We had people on the left. We had people on the right.
00:07:08.200 We had people in the middle, people up top, people down below from all different sides.
00:07:12.480 It was great to be there and, of course, honored to always be able to work with Turning Point USA and in any way help to carry on the mission of Charlie Kirk.
00:07:22.080 Right back, Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.
00:07:29.520 We'll stand in our way and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:33.720 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:35.480 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:39.940 welcome to the second american revolution today you know they talk about influencers
00:07:48.020 these are influencers and uh they're friends of mine jack so like where's jack jack he's got a
00:07:56.680 great job all right folks we're back here human events daily real america's voice folks i gotta
00:08:05.680 to say, if you're anything like me, we know the holidays be a little bit brutal. Every healthy
00:08:11.000 habit gone desserts late nights, they get skipped. We know it. You know, the workouts, these, you
00:08:18.820 know, it's it doesn't work. But now that we're in the new year, it's time to reset. Let's undo all
00:08:25.120 of that. Let's make a new year's resolution to actually give our bodies what they need. For me
00:08:29.380 and my family, that fresh start begins with Cove Pure. Here's the thing. Everybody jumps into the
00:08:34.260 new year, buying new supplements, trying a new diet, or maybe workouts, but they miss the completely
00:08:40.520 most important basic thing, your water. Even mild dehydration, it will impact your energy,
00:08:46.380 your focus, your metabolism. When you think about all the garbage that's in our water already,
00:08:50.440 you're starting behind the curve before you even begin. So use Co-Pure's ClearWave technology,
00:08:56.920 which is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, pretty much anything that isn't
00:09:01.500 in your water pfas microplastics pharmaceutical residue fluoride it all gets removed this is the
00:09:07.280 purest water you can get what i love most about cove pure is that it lets you choose the temperature
00:09:12.100 of your water hot cold warm and it makes your water taste so good pure clean no aftertaste
00:09:18.580 cove pure makes it so easy to get pure water with the push of a button so this year make a new year's
00:09:23.900 resolution that sticks improve your health with clean water right now you can get 200 off for a
00:09:29.680 limited time if you use my link, covepure.com slash POSO. That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash
00:09:37.340 POSO to start the new year right. All right, folks. So President Trump expected to speak.
00:09:46.900 So actually, he's speaking right now. I see there he's going to be going to be swearing in Mark
00:09:53.600 Wayne Mullen as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. And we are going to take that here at
00:09:59.440 the top for on RAV. And for our own broadcast, what we'll do is we're told the president might
00:10:06.500 be making some announcements, might be taking some questions. So we are going to work on that.
00:10:11.600 And if the president does go to make those remarks or make an announcement, we will be taking that.
00:10:15.920 In the meantime, I still wanted to talk about what's going on with Iran. I still wanted to get
00:10:20.480 into that situation and we're bringing back yet again fleximus maximus himself malcolm flex
00:10:27.900 joins us here on human events what's up flex
00:10:30.480 oh man jack i'm gonna need some of these decades of news to uh stop happening in these coming weeks
00:10:38.420 man we got to stop meeting up like this it's getting crazy so you so you told me last week
00:10:44.580 that you said, I think we're going up the escalation ladder. And then over the weekend,
00:10:48.920 we saw Israel bombed very close by the Bushir nuclear reactor, as well as Natanz nuclear
00:10:58.700 reactor and nuclear research center in Iran. Iran responds by sending their advanced ballistic 0.69
00:11:06.060 missiles, which some say include hypersonic glide vehicle technology to be able to pierce through
00:11:14.200 that iron dome. And where do they target that? Oh, right. Demona, which is in southern Israel
00:11:19.680 in the Negev desert, very close to where Israel has their nuclear reactor and reportedly may
00:11:26.840 actually have their stockpile of nuclear weapons. So, oh, good. Here's that escalation ladder that 0.91
00:11:33.540 we had warned about. And that's exactly what we're starting to see. These tit for tat.
00:11:38.080 We hit you here. You hit us there. You hit this refiner. We hit our refiner. You hit your gas, 0.97
00:11:42.060 your gas field, we hit your, you know, your allies gas field and back and forth and back
00:11:46.880 and forth is what are we learning from this?
00:11:49.880 And let me just go back to a second and ask this question, because we were told early
00:11:53.960 on that Iran was running out of missiles the same way they said Russia was running out
00:11:58.520 of missiles in the first couple of weeks.
00:12:00.240 How is it that they're able to still respond at the way that they are?
00:12:04.780 And how is it that it's it seems to me and you look at some of the numbers that their
00:12:08.880 missiles are actually landing with more precision than when they did in the early days well part of
00:12:15.340 it's going to be again is based on sort of intelligence assessments of capabilities and
00:12:20.000 you know what iran lets you know and what they don't necessarily let you know i'm not saying
00:12:24.620 that iran's like this amazing military superpower we've just been completely caught off guard
00:12:29.480 necessarily but if you actually look you know there are reports that in diego garcia which is
00:12:35.800 near the Indo-Pacific, actually, Iran had intermediate-range ballistic missiles actually
00:12:41.480 landed out there in that 4,000-kilometer space. That's something that we didn't even know they
00:12:46.520 had. So what I'm saying is that if they're pulling out some capability that we necessarily
00:12:52.120 don't quite know about, then that means that the conflict itself is even more intense,
00:12:57.080 especially now that we're hearing threats of civilian infrastructure being targeted.
00:13:00.640 it, that lets us know that what we believe Iran's attentions are, are that much more
00:13:08.260 severe. 0.86
00:13:08.700 Sounds like total war to me. 0.99
00:13:10.680 And, you know, it gets even crazier when you think Iran's first strikes, and this goes 0.99
00:13:16.000 back to the point where you said that, you know, they're sounding very precise when they're 0.96
00:13:20.440 hitting these targets.
00:13:21.860 Well, yeah, they took out a lot of our radars and a lot of our imaging capabilities.
00:13:27.400 Meanwhile, they're still, you know, again, nothing has moved around necessarily as far as where their landing strikes at in Israel, especially these metropolitan areas.
00:13:36.700 It's pretty easy to get a hit if they're not intercepted.
00:13:40.620 So that being said, you know, the conflict is going to get pretty intense.
00:13:44.420 And, you know, I think Trump joining in right now, you know, he's honestly ratcheting it up, which lets me know that, hey, we're trying to get him to back down or something.
00:13:54.020 and we need it to happen quickly because otherwise this is going to spiral out of control.
00:13:58.360 And that's, you know, just saying, you know, from Tel Aviv's side as well as the Tehran side.
00:14:05.860 And this is something that I want to hit on as well, is that there were these assessments,
00:14:12.360 whether it's DIA, whether it's whoever, you know, part of some of the three-letter agencies that I
00:14:16.740 know well from, you know, having been in this world that, look, there are times where we assess
00:14:22.660 capabilities and your information is only as good as your input, as your sourcing, as what you know.
00:14:28.600 And we know that what has Iran done? They have been planning and preparing for this very type
00:14:34.060 of operation since 1979 and their ability to camouflage, to mask capabilities, and also to
00:14:41.780 just in general hide the level and the location of their capabilities. Look, this is a mountainous
00:14:47.920 area. This is a desert area. And what have they been using? They've been using the terrain to
00:14:52.200 their advantage, building these bunkers deep underground. That's where, by the way, we're
00:14:55.960 told that the uranium, the enriched uranium still resides. I believe it's in liquid form
00:14:59.720 and it's at, you know, the bunkers were able to take out the entrances and some of the access ways
00:15:04.560 to the facility, the research facilities for enriching uranium, but the uranium itself was
00:15:09.780 not destroyed. It is still there. So I say that, you know, when you take that logic,
00:15:14.920 you also have to then apply that to these missile silos or what they call them,
00:15:19.340 the missile cities and drone cities that they have thousands of them underneath this extremely
00:15:26.540 mountainous area. And that's that doesn't take away anything from the capabilities of the United
00:15:31.060 States government, the United States military. No, by far, I would not say that. I'm just saying
00:15:35.140 this is an extremely complicated problem set. One buy in the military knows that they are going to
00:15:42.860 have to deal with in a different way than simply just, you know, just airstrikes because you just
00:15:48.700 don't know what's down in those tunnels. And this is exactly by the way, this is exactly something
00:15:54.340 that was brought up. President Trump actually nixed this back during the 12 day war that Israel
00:15:58.540 had suggested at one point that there there be a joint IDF US raid on those facilities so that you
00:16:05.760 could secure the uranium. And of course, getting into them highly defended at the time would
00:16:11.500 certainly be a risky operation to say the least. But but Flex, talk to us a little bit about how
00:16:17.620 just Iran has been using this defense in depth and the terrain to their advantage to hide their
00:16:23.740 capabilities. Yeah. Well, part of the issue when it comes to conducting air campaigns and using 0.79
00:16:31.300 large munitions, you know, over distances is that if your opponent knows and has any ability to move
00:16:39.680 where they're launching, where they're attacking from, then, you know, you're pretty darn limited,
00:16:44.160 especially if we're talking about natural structures things that can withstand bunker
00:16:49.440 busting munitions munitions of certain amounts of tons of you know force we're you know this is
00:16:56.320 ancient ground so i don't say that just uh you know kind of sound dramatic i said to say that
00:17:02.640 you know this is very hardened terrain it's going to be able to have a certain level of structural
00:17:08.560 integrity and that's not even talking about the ultra high performance concrete that they probably
00:17:12.960 reinforce some of these structures with so if you're going to get in there you can't take a
00:17:19.080 sledgehammer if the sledgehammer is literally going against impact resistant concrete and you
00:17:25.040 know ground that's withstood millennia and basically had ages to harden what you're going
00:17:29.740 to end up having to do and i you know god forbid this happened i hate this but we're seeing it
00:17:35.100 right now with any you know with the marine expeditionary units in route is that you need
00:17:40.120 more options i liken it to a massive barbecue joint that's like several stories tall versus a
00:17:47.880 buffet right now iran has a buffet it might be a small country buffet but they've got a bunch of
00:17:52.160 options that they can do to hamper the united states assault we only have one option which is
00:17:58.020 a very big option but you know it's only one option and that is you know basically we're
00:18:03.260 we're having to just strike at it from the air so the marine expeditionary unit gives you more
00:18:08.160 options on the table if we're talking about conducting warfare or we're talking about
00:18:12.820 getting in and holding territory now where they go from there and what their uses i don't necessarily
00:18:17.820 know but that you know again you've got missile cities you've got underground facilities you've
00:18:23.980 got all of these natural advantages terrain wise that again unless you're going to pull out
00:18:29.740 something that is uh you know beyond the pale you're not going to be able to just basically
00:18:34.760 achieve your win condition of quote-unquote either routine gene change or neutralization
00:18:39.860 from the air now and so we're seeing that and we're also seeing that the markets are taking
00:18:44.340 notice with Brent with uh Brent crude oil we're basically going bonkers right now so a lot of
00:18:50.160 people are kind of on edge and I think that's part of where Trump's gambit fits in where he's
00:18:54.780 threatening total annihilation at this point or obliteration let me let me get my Asians right
00:19:01.080 Right, right.
00:19:01.940 No, it's not denial.
00:19:04.220 It is destruction.
00:19:05.540 Jack Sobik, Malcolm Flex, back next, Human Events Daily.
00:19:17.060 Take the salvation freely.
00:19:19.060 Without any mental reservation.
00:19:20.940 Without any mental reservation.
00:19:23.300 Or purpose of evasion.
00:19:24.700 Or purpose of evasion.
00:19:26.180 And that I will well and faithfully.
00:19:28.040 And that I will well and faithfully.
00:19:29.540 discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me
00:19:38.600 God. Congratulations, Secretary Thank you. I think that was the most nervous I've
00:19:54.740 ever been. I don't, it just seems surreal being in the Oval Office and having the President
00:20:02.080 of the United States speak so highly of me and then recognize my family and know my family
00:20:08.280 by name. It's humbling and I never take it for granted, but I made this very clear that
00:20:14.980 I don't care what color your state is. I don't care if you're red or you're blue. At the
00:20:19.120 end of the day, my job is to be Secretary of Homeland and to protect everybody the same.
00:20:23.240 And we will do that. I'll fight every single day. Today, I got the privilege of meeting so many of
00:20:29.600 the employees at DHS. These employees have been there for 30 days without pay. And if you need
00:20:37.120 anything to know their dedication to show up and still protect the homeland that you and I
00:20:41.760 enjoy and the freedoms that we're experiencing, they're working for free because of political
00:20:49.520 politics that's all i need to know i told him if you're fighting 365 days understand i'll be
00:20:54.560 fighting 360 days 365 days beside you no one's going to outwork me um and i'm not going to let
00:21:00.640 any of them outwork me the president has entrusted me with this and failure is not an option and so
00:21:06.560 thank you so much mr president for this opportunity um i won't let you down thank you very much
00:21:13.120 I love that expression no one's gonna outwork me that's a wrestler's
00:21:20.620 expression isn't it huh that's a good wrestler's expression yes please
00:21:24.820 Mr. President will the Secretary's replacement in the Senate support the
00:21:28.660 Save Act and the use of the talking billbuster to get it through the Save
00:21:32.500 Act is not called this is called the Save America Act there's a big
00:21:35.500 difference because the Save Act nobody knows what that means Save America means
00:21:38.600 save America and I can't speak for him but I would imagine that Mark Wayne I
00:21:44.480 didn't even ask him the question because who wouldn't support it voter ID with a
00:21:49.480 picture you want citizenship proof of citizenship ideally you want to end
00:21:57.380 mail-in ballots because it's tremendous corruption then we added a couple of
00:22:01.460 things Mark Wayne like I don't think being a great athlete and having a
00:22:05.480 family of great athletes they have produced great athletes in this family uh all american wrestlers
00:22:11.180 they especially like wrestling by the way and what about baseball you play baseball
00:22:15.500 anything they like wrestling but uh i don't think that you would say that his family and i don't
00:22:22.260 know this for a fact and i shouldn't say it because i could get myself uh does anybody in
00:22:27.380 your family want men to play in women's sports i don't think so jim right i don't think so 1.00
00:22:33.420 I don't think how would they do would they do good rustling you they would be in trouble 0.98
00:22:37.700 he said yes they'd be in big trouble it's so crazy so that would be one and then
00:22:43.560 we have a few others that we had we call them the best of best of Trump but if you look at 1.00
00:22:49.260 transgender mutilization of children we don't want that it's the mutilization of children we 1.00
00:22:54.800 don't want that so generally speaking I think I can answer that Mark Wayne would be very much in 1.00
00:23:00.780 favor of what i'm in favor of would you say that's right mark i can't think of too many things he
00:23:05.340 might be worse he might be worse than me that's that's my look at his wife is saying that's right
00:23:09.900 but uh so yeah he's going to be great yeah do you believe the secretary will run dhs
00:23:16.460 any differently than christine ohm did what do you hope to see us as priorities well we had a good
00:23:21.680 run look we created the strongest border with the help of that man right there
00:23:26.520 Tom is so incredible.
00:23:28.900 He's going to be a big influence here, too.
00:23:31.280 There's nobody more professional, nobody better.
00:23:33.140 There's nobody better as a human being.
00:23:34.900 You know, he looks tough, but he's got a good heart.
00:23:37.320 But not too good. Don't make it too good.
00:23:39.940 But, you know, we had Tom.
00:23:42.680 We have the safest border we've ever had.
00:23:45.000 We have a lot of assets, but a lot of things we can do and we're going to do.
00:23:50.120 we have to get criminals out of our country that were allowed in by biden yeah please
00:23:57.280 mr president do you support the what appears to be emerging agreement coming out of the senate to
00:24:02.400 reopen well i'm going to look at it and we're going to take a good hard look at it i want to
00:24:07.060 support republicans and you know sometimes it's awfully hard to get votes when you have democrats
00:24:11.880 that don't want to have voter id they don't want to have proof of citizenship they don't want to
00:24:16.860 do anything about men playing in women's sports that's one of the items we put on you know and
00:24:22.200 i did that just because it's so popular you know they say that's at least an 80 20 issue no it's
00:24:26.940 about a 99 one i don't think it's what do you think but do you think it's 80 20 who's closer
00:24:32.140 80 20 or 99 one almost 100 yeah i think i think 100 is really the so you know so so i i support
00:24:40.700 that and i support comments would you be comfortable with a deal that involves separating
00:24:45.960 ice funding from the dhs funding package in order to reopen well they're working on all of that you
00:24:50.440 know that's a detail that they'll explain later please integrity and dhs measures uh mr president
00:24:56.200 since saiza falls under dhs and given that many credible voices have raised concerns over its
00:25:01.640 premature and possibly faulty likely faulty 2020 election assessment will you and secretary mullen
00:25:07.480 implement reforms at saiza and at dhs to ensure full confidence in future elections like in the
00:25:12.600 talking about it we'll talk about it you know pros and cons look they used it to try and
00:25:17.240 uh put me in prison right so i can't be thrilled with it uh they use that very strongly very
00:25:23.560 illegally the democrats are thugs and i don't want to say that it'd be nice to everyone get
00:25:28.920 along but it's a different country than it was years ago uh it was very dangerous the way they 0.92
00:25:34.920 used it and they weaponized government they used that to weaponize government so i'm not thrilled
00:25:41.080 but i'll also go along with two groups of people the military and i think the military likes it
00:25:46.520 right and i'll go along with the senators it's i'm fine but i was a big victim of it yeah please
00:25:52.840 are you going to send jared kushner and steve whitkoff to do direct negotiations with the
00:25:56.840 iranians yeah well we're in negotiations as it turned out and now you've seen what i said yesterday
00:26:03.160 was exactly correct we're in negotiations right now uh they're doing it along with marco jd
00:26:08.440 we have a number of people doing it and the other side i can tell you they'd like to make a deal
00:26:14.080 and who wouldn't if you were there look their navy's gone their air force is gone
00:26:20.300 their communications are gone that's the biggest problem it's very hard to communicate
00:26:24.760 them between themselves all of the anti-aircraft is gone most of their missiles are gone we shot
00:26:32.060 either shot them or they shot them and don't have them anymore they're down to a trickle
00:26:37.740 They're pretty much everything they have is gone.
00:26:41.180 I don't know.
00:26:41.780 Can you name one thing that's not gone or can you name one thing that's doing well?
00:26:46.860 You know, if you read the papers, you think we're tied.
00:26:48.860 You think we're in a tough battle.
00:26:50.200 We are roaming free over Tehran, the city, Tehran, as opposed to Iran.
00:26:57.840 We're roaming free.
00:26:59.280 We can do whatever we want.
00:27:00.480 And as you know, today, we were going to have the privilege of shooting down a very big electric generation plant, one of the biggest in the world.
00:27:10.800 And one shot to the right location ends the plant. It collapses.
00:27:15.460 And we held off based on the fact that we're negotiating.
00:27:19.300 What do you think was the turning point to make you want to pursue a ceasefire?
00:27:23.220 A few days ago, you said you wanted to continue bombing Iran. Now you want to pursue peace talks.
00:27:28.760 was there something that they're talking to us and they're talking since and remember it all starts
00:27:34.680 with they cannot have a nuclear weapon just you know i said yesterday what they said what are the
00:27:39.560 top ten i said well number one two and three is they can't have a nuclear weapon and uh they're
00:27:46.440 not going to have a nuclear weapon and we're talking about that i don't want to say in advance
00:27:51.000 but they've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon they've agreed to that how do you ensure
00:27:55.320 Your former border patrol chief Greg Bovino said his only regret is that he didn't catch
00:28:01.680 more illegal aliens. What's your reaction to that? Who said that? That's your former border
00:28:07.280 patrol chief. He just retired. Well, I mean, we captured a lot. You know, they were allowed into
00:28:15.660 the country by Sleepy Joe and that group of incompetent people that were here. Worst president 0.97
00:28:21.740 ever the group of incompetent people to me that's the biggest scar you know inflation they caused 0.62
00:28:26.380 the highest inflation we've ever had we've already gotten rid of it the biggest scar is is what they 0.98
00:28:32.060 did the people that they allowed from prisons all over the world they came from the congo from all 0.90
00:28:36.620 over south america rough rough rough people really tough people so uh no i understand what he means
00:28:44.220 he says you know he would have liked to have captured more uh i'm not capturing so much as
00:28:49.580 removing you know removing thousands of people and many are self-deporting
00:28:54.020 because we're going after him so powerfully that they're self-deporting
00:28:57.820 time going back I think that's one of the big unkept secrets it's it's with
00:29:03.740 thousands and thousands of people and they're self-deporting they're going
00:29:07.760 back to where they came from but what we want really is the criminals we're
00:29:11.660 really focused on those criminals getting them out you know and also to
00:29:17.780 Americans that are stuck in airports, it's really devastating watching it online because Democrats won't fund DHS. What's devastating? Americans are now stuck in airports as we speak because Democrats. Well, they just don't. They won't. Look, this is a deal that was done in the great big beautiful deal, which gave you the biggest tax cuts ever, including no tax on tips and no tax on Social Security for the seniors. Think of it. No tax on overtime. Tax deductions. When you buy a car, you take money, pay interest in the money, deduct
00:29:47.760 it we've never had that for people buying cars uh if it's an american car only if it's an american
00:29:54.560 car but um they are just uh what they're they stick together the democrats i tell you i give
00:30:04.480 great credit for that we have some that will they're not good stickers we have guys like
00:30:09.760 tom massey and congress who's terrible he's just terrible terrible person i call him rand paul jr
00:30:15.440 But they don't vote. Rand Paul, I mean, rarely votes for stuff. Likes me. Says, I'm a great
00:30:22.240 president. He said the other day, I'm a great president, one of the greatest presidents.
00:30:27.680 But I said, do me a favor, vote for us and don't call me a great. I'd rather have the vote
00:30:32.340 than the statement. But we have people that don't stick together and those people hopefully will
00:30:39.860 someday be gone the thing i most respect about the democrats even on horrible policy they stick
00:30:46.040 together what they do have though is horrible policy uh transgender for everyone open borders
00:30:53.200 men and women's sports they have the worst policy that you can imagine and so whether they stick 0.97
00:31:01.120 together or not i mean they have just this terrible policy we have great policy republicans
00:31:06.900 have great policy. We have common sense policy, but it's great policy. That's our biggest
00:31:11.520 advantages. Our policy is correct. Yeah, please. Are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be
00:31:17.100 more involved in the Iran operation? Are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more
00:31:22.500 involved in the Iran operation? Yeah, I mean, a little bit, but more more NATO. I think our Gulf
00:31:29.080 allies have been pretty good, to be honest with you. UAE's been hit so hard. He got hit by 1,400
00:31:36.360 rockets, shot them all out of the air with our great Patriot missiles. Think of it. They shot
00:31:42.780 100 missiles at one of our aircraft carriers, the Abraham Lincoln, one of the biggest ships in the
00:31:48.780 world, actually. And out of 101 missiles shot, every single one of them was knocked down in the
00:31:55.680 sea. Think of that. Think of what that means. 101 missiles, highly sophisticated, very fast
00:32:02.780 missile shot out of 101 all 101 were shot down and now for the most part lie at the bottom of the
00:32:11.500 sea it's pretty amazing right pretty amazing our military is amazing pete you know the attack i'm
00:32:18.160 talking about recently 101 shot i said wow i saw that you can see we have sort of pretty good
00:32:25.300 equipment that we see it's called the red line those red lines were thick right i said that's
00:32:31.340 lot and then we saw them one by one just get shot and these guys that do the shooting the coolest
00:32:36.380 cucumbers ever you know most people you don't have a lot of time when a missile's going at 2500 miles
00:32:42.940 an hour i don't care how far away it is you don't have a lot of time but i watch them uh i watched
00:32:50.540 them sit down and think great students mit's a lot of mit's a lot of guys like this and not
00:32:57.340 as much into the muscle as they are this one right here and amazing just watch them perform
00:33:05.900 under great pressure because they have a matter of seconds to do it if they don't do it properly
00:33:11.480 it's a big problem you know because these were powerful these were very powerful missiles coming
00:33:17.640 and so a lot of people choke they don't choke these guys don't choke they're the best in the
00:33:23.280 world. We have the best in the world.
00:33:24.700 Yeah.
00:33:24.880 Mr. President, what would be your message today to the TSA agents who have been staying home
00:33:31.940 in recent days amid this impact?
00:33:35.200 Well, some of them are needing money, you know, because the Democrats cut off their money.
00:33:40.700 I blame the Democrats more than anything else.
00:33:43.260 But some of them, you know, they didn't get paid because they're not funded by the Democrats.
00:33:48.000 This is a Democrat problem.
00:33:49.260 In fact, I actually said to the Senate, why would you say this is a Democrat problem?
00:33:54.380 I think the polls are showing us a Democrat problem and they'll do anything actually to
00:34:00.500 hurt our country so they can try and win the midterms.
00:34:04.640 And if we ever went back to our old policies, we wouldn't have a country left.
00:34:07.880 If they get a deal, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, to fund all but enforcement
00:34:13.320 operations of ICE to get those TSA agents repaid and to open up the rest of the department,
00:34:18.160 would you sign that?
00:34:19.160 want to comment until I see the deal. But as you know, they're negotiating a deal. I guess they're
00:34:23.960 getting fairly close. But I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it. These
00:34:31.280 guys came in. They wouldn't pay people. You know, they had a deal to pay. They had to break their
00:34:35.940 deal. The Democrats broke the deal that we had. It was all done. Everything was fine. And then
00:34:42.560 they just said, well, we're not going to pay anymore. And they hurt our country. And at a
00:34:48.680 difficult time because you know we are at as they would say a war they call it a war i call it a
00:34:53.540 military operation a very successful one like successful like nobody's ever seen before hey
00:35:00.560 venezuela was equally as successful that's a great that was a great thing no uh the democrats had a
00:35:06.840 deal it was a done deal and then they said well we're not going to pay and uh so they a lot of
00:35:13.380 people suffered over that and and put our country in danger you have another question you haven't
00:35:18.140 been here in a while can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it
00:35:26.300 is either yeah we had I hate to say this in front of these young people
00:35:32.720 they're not children if I spoke to most of them they sound like adults to me
00:35:37.040 even though they are sort of children right they'll always be your children
00:35:39.980 but I hate to say it but we killed all their leadership and then they met to 0.94
00:35:47.240 choose new leaders and we killed all of them and now we have a new group and we can easily do that 0.84
00:35:54.180 but let's see how they turn out it's we have really regime change you know this is a change 0.51
00:36:00.920 in the regime uh because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with
00:36:06.920 that created all those problems so this was i think we can say jason this is regime change right
00:36:12.340 What makes you trust? I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you. I mean, that's only because I know you. But if I didn't know you, I'd probably have more trust. But I don't trust. Why do you? Why do you say that? Why do you say what makes you? Do you think I trust them? I don't trust them. Why bother talking? Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the president
00:36:42.320 arrived today and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money and i'm not going to
00:36:49.520 tell you what that present is but it was a very significant uh uh prize and they gave it to us
00:36:58.480 and they said they were going to give it so that meant one thing to me would deal with the right
00:37:02.160 people no it wasn't nuclear related it was oil and gas related and it was a very nice thing they
00:37:09.120 did but what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people because you know you don't 0.59
00:37:13.200 know because the leadership was killed all gone khomeini all gone as the expression goes the past
00:37:20.880 supreme leader and then the new supreme leader was racked up at a minimum racked up pretty good
00:37:28.640 and everyone else was gone and then many of the people in the third tier are gone
00:37:33.760 But we're dealing with a group of people that I think turn out and and the the present the gift
00:37:40.600 they made to us was very significant and they said they were gonna do it and it happened and
00:37:45.280 they're the only ones that could have done it Jennifer yeah it was related to the flow and to
00:37:53.200 the straight yeah negotiating on who's gonna control the straight from now on you can we'll
00:37:59.140 have control of anything we want look if we can end this without more lives being down without
00:38:06.700 knocking out 10 billion dollar electric plants that are brand new and the apple of their eye
00:38:14.000 i'd like to be able to do that you know but uh but we they can't have certain things i mean you
00:38:20.760 you know the things i don't have to go over the list but again it starts with no nuclear weapons
00:38:25.280 and they've agreed to that there won't be any nuclear weapons they're not going to have and
00:38:28.920 they're not going to have enrichment, any of those things. But look, I hate to say that
00:38:35.200 we're in a very good bargaining position. But and I hate to say that they're defenseless
00:38:41.380 because, you know, until that last missile is fired, they have little power. But we are
00:38:48.340 in about the best bargaining position. We're way ahead of schedule. And again, they have
00:38:53.580 no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no missile protection. And most of their
00:38:57.640 missiles are gone most of their launches we've killed you know we've
00:39:01.600 killed about 82 percent of their launches so even if they had a missile
00:39:05.860 they can't launch it we've been very fat we have the greatest military in the
00:39:11.260 world nobody even comes close we have the best military equipment in the world
00:39:15.040 go ahead on Saudi Arabia there's been some reporting that you've been talking
00:39:18.400 to the Crown Prince have you been focused on normalization between Saudi
00:39:23.560 we have a great relationship with Saudi Arabia what do you hear with Saudi
00:39:28.600 Arabia just hearing that you've been talking and that he has been encouraging
00:39:32.620 you to do certain things related to Iran he's a warrior he's fighting with us by
00:39:38.660 the way Saudi Arabia has been excellent and UAE excellent and I will tell you
00:39:45.760 Qatar incredible Qatar took a hit pretty bad hit
00:39:50.620 Qatar is very close. You know, they're essentially, you can walk right over the border.
00:39:55.780 Qatar took a hit. They've been great. They've been very strong. Kuwait, they had a little
00:40:00.940 mishap. They shot down three planes with our missiles. They happen to be our planes. But
00:40:07.020 the pilots made it. Can you imagine the pilots making it? The pilots are always coming.
00:40:11.980 And they said, those are patriots. We're not going to escape patriots. And they got out of
00:40:16.000 there pretty quick Pete right pretty amazing that they got out the three 0.55
00:40:20.560 pilots lived to find in fact they're flying today yeah the Kuwaitis made a
00:40:27.840 mistake they fired they thought they were firing at the enemy it was as the
00:40:33.280 expression goes friendly fire but the pilots are great they're flying today
00:40:38.440 pretty amazing went when you think of it yeah
00:40:43.240 On a human level, how hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out?
00:40:47.140 Like as a human, as...
00:40:48.520 On what?
00:40:49.060 On a human level, not as the President of the United States.
00:40:52.220 How hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out with Iran?
00:40:55.860 You're talking about to end it? 0.99
00:40:58.580 Well, I think we're going to end it.
00:41:00.360 I can't tell you for sure.
00:41:04.280 You know, I don't like to say this.
00:41:06.140 We've won this.
00:41:07.100 This war has been won.
00:41:08.960 The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.
00:41:11.740 I mean, the New York Times, you read the New York Times, it's like we're not winning a war
00:41:15.860 where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing.
00:41:19.640 And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country.
00:41:26.360 They can't do a thing about it.
00:41:28.360 For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big, powerful power
00:41:33.120 plant, they can't do a thing about it.
00:41:35.620 It's like, take me.
00:41:37.340 That's all they can do.
00:41:38.400 And yet, if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC fake news or NBC fake news,
00:41:44.740 you'd say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. They're totally defeated.
00:41:50.460 You know, we killed the Navy in, would you say, three days, Pete? Gone. In fact, I was a little
00:41:55.940 upset with Pete. I said, why didn't you save the ships? We could have used them, right? He said,
00:41:59.860 it's more fun shooting them down. But the Navy was wiped out in a very rapid order. Pretty
00:42:07.860 impressive for you guys you champion wrestlers right when you hear this stuff but you don't if
00:42:13.100 you read the news you don't hear this you know you read like oh they're doing wonderfully they're
00:42:17.560 doing terribly they're wiped out militarily they are dead yeah is there a new sense of a timeline
00:42:25.100 do you want to get something done before the midterms well we'd like to see uh president
00:42:30.560 putin and president zielinski sit down and make a deal i think they're getting close but i've
00:42:34.880 saying that for a while i've settled eight wars all of them should have been more difficult than
00:42:39.840 this one this should have been the easiest one but these are two people that truly hate each other
00:42:46.000 you'll find out that hatred is not good for making deals these are people that they don't
00:42:51.680 like each other very much yeah i know you said there's a bunch of people from the administration
00:42:56.000 who are negotiating with iran there's been reports that the vice president is leading those
00:43:00.640 negotiations is that true well he's involved in him jd is involved and marco is involved and
00:43:08.400 jared kushner's involved very smart guy and and steve whitkoff smart guy is involved
00:43:15.520 and i'm involved i'm involved why i'm not i'm going to be so big oh i don't want to talk about
00:43:20.240 i'm the president of the united states tom and i'm not going to talk about it's beneath me to talk
00:43:26.080 about saving millions of lives because that's what you're talking about you're talking about
00:43:31.280 saving millions of lives if iran had a nuclear weapon they would have used it and if i didn't
00:43:38.880 end the horrible barack hussein obama iran nuclear deal in my first administration they would have
00:43:46.480 had a nuclear weapon three or four years ago they would have used it i would have never gotten the
00:43:52.400 chance probably to be president who knows if what it would have been so devastating and if we didn't 0.74
00:43:58.240 send those beautiful b2 bombers they took them off my desk they were right there i don't know why
00:44:05.200 but if we didn't have those beautiful the b2 hit which was so we obliterated despite cnn cnn said 0.84
00:44:13.040 well maybe the word obliteration said no no we obliterated it just obliterated their nuclear 0.68
00:44:20.160 potential you would have had them having two weeks after that attack had we not made the attack 0.54
00:44:26.320 they would have had a nuclear weapon they would have absolutely used it and they would have used
00:44:30.160 it on the entire middle east including israel and you know why you see that because unexpectedly 0.57
00:44:37.200 when this war broke out unexpectedly they started sending missiles to uae qatar saudi arabia kuwait
00:44:46.560 Bahrain and elsewhere and nobody thought they were that were you equally surprised by that pete
00:44:55.280 pete do you want to give about a three minute uh
00:44:59.680 statement on how we're doing in this as i call it military operation people don't like me using
00:45:05.040 the word war but so i won't but the democrats go out of war uh how about a little statement i think
00:45:10.560 he's done a very good job do we agree he's done a good job mark can we take some of your time
00:45:16.560 well thank you mr president uh you're spot on never in history has a modern military
00:45:25.680 iran had a modern military a modern navy a modern air force modern air defenses
00:45:31.180 leadership massive bunker never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically
00:45:36.940 obliterated defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower the air campaign that we've conducted 0.97
00:45:43.420 that israel's conducted alongside us was one for the history books truly and it's because we have
00:45:48.060 a president united states that when he sends his war fighters out to fight he unties their hands
00:45:53.740 to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one
00:45:58.860 and that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well uh we we negotiate uh with
00:46:04.220 bombs you have a choice as we loiter over the top of tehran as the president talked about about your
00:46:09.980 future president has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon the war department
00:46:14.540 agrees our job is to ensure that and so we're keeping our our hand on that throttle uh as long
00:46:20.060 as as hard as is necessary to ensure the interest of the united states of america are achieved on
00:46:25.100 that battlefield this is not iraq and afghanistan this is not a president who's interested in in
00:46:29.820 in vague end states he's been very clear with us about what we need to accomplish creating the
00:46:34.540 conditions for them never to have a nuclear capability and that's exactly what we're doing
00:46:38.140 in historic fashion thank you mr president thank you appreciate it you know the only two people
00:46:43.660 that were quite disappointed i don't want to say this but i have to i said pete and general raisin
00:46:50.620 kane i think this thing's going to be settled very soon here they go oh that's too bad pete
00:46:59.260 didn't want it to be settled it's uh it's these guys are doing a great job that's a good attitude
00:47:06.140 though tom right they were not interested in settlement they were interested in just winning
00:47:10.780 this thing yeah please mr president can you uh just taking things locally hopefully uh
00:47:15.180 not doing international affairs for a second do you support the construction of the second uh
00:47:19.260 avenue subway in new york city and will your administration far out you know the second
00:47:25.980 avenue subway is being under construction for you're a young guy is as longer than you are old
00:47:33.100 okay uh that's been under construction i haven't heard about the second avenue subway in
00:47:39.740 20 years what the hell kind of a question is that okay i guess you got to get it finished
00:47:45.420 but they spent trillions of dollars practically no they spent more money on that than on anything
00:47:51.740 i think in the history of our city in new york city and uh it's been under construction for a
00:47:57.500 a long time it's very sad actually the only thing maybe worse was gavin newscombe the governor of
00:48:03.440 california his train i call it his train wreck because it's a wreck uh that's been years it's
00:48:09.480 it's literally 30 times over budget nobody's ever seen anything like it and it doesn't go to san
00:48:16.460 francisco and los angeles like it was supposed to they decided to cut it way short because there
00:48:22.120 was no way they could finish it but it's one of the worst i've never seen anything like it other
00:48:26.180 than the worst the federal reserve building for almost four billion dollars little building that's
00:48:33.140 going to cost a renovation for four billion dollars headed by our highly incompetent head
00:48:38.660 of the federal reserve yeah please mr president would you be open are you hoping to see the senate
00:48:45.860 pursue reconciliation 2.0 to fund ice and pass the state of america well we'll see about
00:48:50.260 reconciliation we're certainly talking about reconciliation i think mark wayne right do you
00:48:54.820 want to talk about that for a second now that he's working we can get him to do this thank you um
00:49:02.180 lindsey graham the chairman where the commit where the uh reconciliation will funnel through
00:49:07.380 he is committed to making sure we get reconciliation through uh if that is in some form
00:49:14.340 with funding ice possibly backfilling from the one big beautiful bill but also more importantly
00:49:19.940 the Save American Act. There's a framework that we can do through reconciliation, paying for it,
00:49:25.900 put some of the policies that cost money in, because there's nothing more important than
00:49:30.240 the Save American Act. I mean, that's what the American people want. There's 80% of the population
00:49:34.860 say they want only Americans voting, citizens that are registered to vote, citizens that
00:49:42.100 have done it the right way. And I believe that everybody wants an election integrity. So
00:49:47.620 fortunately, Lindsey Graham has said
00:49:49.780 through reconciliation, he's willing
00:49:51.840 to put the framework out for that.
00:49:55.380 And
00:49:55.820 I think that was said
00:49:57.740 so beautifully, so concisely, so
00:49:59.940 well, your father,
00:50:02.140 that we should let him have
00:50:03.520 the last word, and that was it. That was the last
00:50:06.060 word. Did he do a good job? Are you
00:50:07.840 impressed with your father?
00:50:09.220 I've never been more impressed with anybody in my life.
00:50:11.580 How about me?
00:50:13.600 Don't answer.
00:50:14.280 I want to thank the family because without the family he's not here you know he's a different
00:50:37.040 person and that goes especially for mom who looks like she's about 22 years old I don't
00:50:42.380 I see these kids, but she looks very young, but it's a great couple of congratulations to you both. Thank you. Thank you more
00:50:54.140 Thank you very much everybody. Thank you
00:51:12.380 All right, guys, Jack Wasovic. We're back here.
00:51:23.140 We saw President Trump there taking his Q&A about everything that is going on under the sun.
00:51:31.780 We're seeing his his comments. We're seeing his, you know, his his work regarding, of course, Secretary Mullen coming in there.
00:51:40.920 We're seeing, of course, his response to to Iran, to the war that's going on, the war effort, whether or not we're going to have those boots on the ground, whether or not the information is coming out.
00:51:51.520 And I also want to throw out, by the way, this breaking news that we are seeing this out of The Guardian, that.
00:51:58.820 J.D. Vance, vice president of the United States, has potentially been routed to Pakistan and or potentially could be routed to Pakistan.
00:52:11.080 It says Pakistani sources tell The Guardian that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance was being put forward as a probable chief negotiator from the U.S. side of talks.
00:52:20.100 go ahead. Iranian sources have said they refuse to sit down with Trump's Middle East envoy,
00:52:25.280 Wyckoff, or Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who led the previous nuclear negotiations with Iran
00:52:30.220 before the war. So I'm parsing this to see whether or not J.D. has actually been sent to Pakistan
00:52:39.580 and need to figure out exactly where we're looking at with this. But potentially, potentially seeing
00:52:46.740 jd vance we could see the vice president actually head over to pakistan which of course if if if
00:52:54.060 that took place would be an incredibly uh an incredibly strong move for the vice president
00:53:01.100 to go sitting vice president to go in extremely close proximity to a war zone in the middle of a
00:53:09.440 shooting war between the and guys you want to show just to throw up the map of the uh of the
00:53:15.200 gulf here real quickly to let you see that Pakistan sits immediately outside the Strait of
00:53:20.660 Hormuz. You're talking about territory that is very, very, I can't see Pakistan on this map,
00:53:25.880 but this is very, very close to the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz on what's called the Gulf of Aden
00:53:33.500 and into the wider Indian Ocean. So should the vice president head out there, that would be an
00:53:40.240 extremely bold move for the vice president that would certainly burnish his credentials. And we
00:53:45.900 know that he has been someone who has been in the anti-war camp in general in the past. He's someone
00:53:52.460 who's spoken out against regime change wars, although at the same time, he himself, of course,
00:53:57.280 being a veteran and being a Marine, remember once a Marine, always a Marine, no such thing as a
00:54:02.840 former Marine. This would be an extremely high profile assignment for the vice president. And
00:54:08.400 And we will see, of course, if this does come to fruition, we would certainly pray for peace.
00:54:15.180 We also pray for the safety of the vice president and the team as they go over.
00:54:19.100 Reading through the article some more, it says that it sounds like this is coming from
00:54:23.020 the Pakistan side, so not from the U.S. side, but it says that Islamabad has yet to be officially
00:54:27.240 confirmed as a venue for any talks, which neither side has formally agreed to so far.
00:54:31.420 Qatar, Turkey and Egypt have also been touted as other venues, but sources say that Tehran's
00:54:37.340 preference was Islamabad. So you're seeing that potential olive branch from Iran regarding
00:54:44.860 negotiations in Pakistan. This, of course, is still a moving situation, and we here at Human
00:54:51.780 Events will always stand ready to give you the latest whenever it takes place. You just heard
00:54:57.820 from the president, and potentially we could be hearing or seeing the vice president making some
00:55:03.340 moves here very soon. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
00:55:33.340 You
