00:01:36.000 Joining us now is the Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance.
00:01:39.000 Mr. Vice President, thank you for taking the time.
00:01:41.000 Congratulations on what you and the President achieved yesterday.
00:01:44.000 Walk our audience through the significance and the profundity and your role in helping achieve peace between Israel and Iran.
00:01:51.000 Well, thanks so much, Charlie, for having me.
00:01:53.000 It's good to talk with you.
00:01:54.000 And really all credit goes to the president here.
00:01:56.000 I mean, he had a very clear goal in mind.
00:01:58.000 He wanted to destroy the Iranian nuclear program.
00:02:01.000 He did that militarily.
00:02:03.000 Of course, we tried to do it diplomatically, but the Iranians were not willing to play ball.
00:02:07.000 But he also wanted us to be in a very narrow, very defined operation where once we solved the problem, he wanted to get the hell out and not have to deal with the Middle East anymore.
00:02:19.000 And I think that's what you saw here is you saw bold decisive action, but you also saw a willingness to sort of press the brakes on both the Iranians and the Israelis.
00:02:28.000 What happened, I think it was very interesting.
00:02:30.000 I came into the Oval Office on Monday morning, and we had just received calls from both the Israelis, but also from the Iranians.
00:02:39.000 And from the Israelis, they were basically saying, look, we're exhausted.
00:02:42.000 We don't want to do this anymore.
00:02:44.000 And we've achieved our military objective.
00:02:45.000 They were quite successful, as you know, but they didn't want to keep on going.
00:02:49.000 And I think from the Iranians, they were saying, well, we're going to do this counterattack, but it's going to be largely symbolic.
00:02:56.000 This is where we're going to strike.
00:02:57.000 They basically telegraphed exactly what they were going to do so that we could maximize our ability to save the lives and the health of our troops.
00:03:06.000 And so what the president basically said is, let's figure out what the Iranians are actually doing.
00:03:11.000 Let's obviously do everything that we can to save our troops.
00:03:15.000 And then after the attack, let's reconvene and see where we are.
00:03:20.000 And so we went to the Oval Office around three o'clock or so yesterday afternoon.
00:03:24.000 The president kind of gathered up the senior team and said, look, the Iranians clearly didn't mean to kill anybody because they told us exactly where they were going to attack.
00:03:32.000 The Israelis are telling us they've achieved their objectives and they don't want to do a long, protracted war.
00:03:38.000 Let's go and get a ceasefire done.
00:03:40.000 And then three hours later, that's exactly what we had accomplished.
00:03:43.000 And hilariously, we were working on confirming and coordinating the details of this as I was on the way to do an interview with Brett Baer.
00:03:52.000 And then I think the president got this over the finish line literally while I was on air.
00:03:56.000 And then it was read to me right before we actually started recording the interview.
00:04:00.000 So a really big day for America, a really big day, I think, for Israel and Iran, but just a big day for world peace, Charlie.
00:04:08.000 I mean, I can't emphasize how big of a deal it is that we took the Iranian nuclear program, we destroyed it without losing a single American life and without getting the United States involved in some protracted Middle Eastern conflict.
00:04:23.000 It's kind of a win-win-win all around.
00:04:25.000 And so, Mr. Vice President, I've known the president for about 10 years.
00:04:30.000 I have never seen him this mad publicly, where he dropped basically the F-bomb herd around the world at both Israel and Iran.
00:04:38.000 What do you think led to that?
00:04:40.000 He wanted the ceasefire so badly.
00:04:42.000 He wants peace.
00:04:43.000 His driving force is peace, not war, which is such a sea change versus the prior Republican Party.
00:04:49.000 Can you comment on President Trump this morning as he was demanding an end to all conflict and it worked, please?
00:04:56.000 Yeah, so I mean, look, ceasefires are always a little bit of mess, Charlie, and we don't even know fully exactly what happened.
00:05:03.000 I mean, our understanding is that, you know, the Israelis obviously tried to ramp up their campaign towards the very end.
00:05:10.000 The Iranians took a lot of shots at the Israelis at the very end.
00:05:15.000 You know, there's some concerns here because, you know, even after the senior leaders agree to a ceasefire, it takes some time for that message to get down to the commanders in the field.
00:05:24.000 You know, even if the leadership of Iran, for example, says, yes, okay, we'll stop shooting, it's totally possible that there's a guy they can't reach who doesn't realize that.
00:05:33.000 And so it's not even clear totally what happened, but there appears to be one errant rocket that the Israelis perceived was fired at them.
00:05:42.000 It did not land.
00:05:43.000 It did not do any damage.
00:05:45.000 This was the very last rocket the Iranian shot.
00:05:48.000 And then it seemed like the Israelis were going to do this massive response.
00:05:51.000 And the president you saw this morning had just been, and I called him five minutes before this press conference and we talked about it.
00:05:58.000 And I think the president was just like, this is ridiculous.
00:06:01.000 These guys are exhausted.
00:06:03.000 Both of them want to stop fighting.
00:06:05.000 This stupid shit tit for tat is unacceptable.
00:06:07.000 And I'm just going to go out there and I'm going to make it very clear to each party that this needs to stop.
00:06:12.000 And obviously, you know, it's an amazing thing to have an American president who just goes out there and says, this is what's in America's best interest.
00:06:20.000 This is what's smart.
00:06:21.000 The parties should choose the smart path and not the dumb path.
00:06:25.000 And he said it so forcefully that I actually think it meaningfully changed the trajectory of this morning, Charlie.
00:06:30.000 I mean, just take you through my own psychology.
00:06:32.000 At around 6.30 this morning, which is I think right around the time the president was going out, I was worried that this ceasefire would fall apart.
00:06:41.000 You know, it was hard won.
00:06:43.000 There was a lot of background that went into it.
00:06:46.000 You go to bed, you think things are fine.
00:06:49.000 You wake up and realize that they're not.
00:06:51.000 And I really thought around 6.30 this morning, the whole thing might fall apart.
00:06:55.000 The president got it back on track as only he can do.
00:06:58.000 It was really amazing.
00:06:59.000 Extraordinary.
00:07:00.000 Last night, there were a lot of doomers, Mr. Vice President.
00:07:02.000 There were a lot of doomers.
00:07:04.000 And they were like, oh, this thing's falling apart and Persia's launching rockets and has passed this.
00:07:08.000 And I honestly, I turned my phone off at 1 a.m.
00:07:11.000 Eastern.
00:07:12.000 I said, I'm done.
00:07:13.000 I said, I'm just going to trust the Lord and trust Trump, who I think has the hand of God on him to settle this thing.
00:07:18.000 So, Mr. Vice President, I want to ask you, the complexity of being able to have no nuclear program for Iran, to have no troops on the ground, no nation building, and no U.S. troops, I mean, that's pitching a perfect game.
00:07:32.000 I hope everyone in the audience understands how unique and rare this is.
00:07:36.000 Mr. Vice President, can you add more detail to that?
00:07:39.000 Because to have all those no's, no troops on the ground, no permanent war, no quagmire, no U.S. troops dead, and no nukes for Iran.
00:07:47.000 That is a dream.
00:07:48.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:07:49.000 It really is a dream, Charlie.
00:07:51.000 And I think you and I are similar age.
00:07:52.000 We grew up in the same generation.
00:07:54.000 I think a lot of people in our generation assume that every single time we do anything in the Middle East, that is necessarily going to lead to some protracted quagmire.
00:08:04.000 And the president was just not interested in that.
00:08:06.000 And I think that, you know, yes, the president deserves great credit for destroying the nuclear program and pressing the reset on the Iranian nuke program.
00:08:13.000 But I actually think he pressed the reset button on a generation of failed American foreign policy.
00:08:19.000 He basically said it is actually possible for Americans to go and do important things in the American interest and then to get out.
00:08:28.000 And that is something that is really profound.
00:08:30.000 Our generation understandably has a ton of skepticism.
00:08:33.000 We think of Middle East long, expensive.
00:08:37.000 We're war-weary.
00:08:38.000 And we're demonstrating under the MAGA doctrine, actually, there is a third way.
00:08:42.000 That's exactly right, Charlie.
00:08:44.000 And you, of course, have heard some of the president's supporters and even the president himself, me, have been attacked as isolationists.
00:08:52.000 And then you had people sort of attacking us and saying that we were going to get involved in another forever war.
00:08:57.000 And what I saw privately and publicly was a president who said, what do we need to do to accomplish America's interests?
00:09:05.000 Let's go and do it.
00:09:06.000 And then let's get out.
00:09:08.000 And that basic idea that you can go and do great things, the American military is incredibly powerful.
00:09:14.000 I mean, what these B-2 bombers accomplished, Charlie, is really extraordinary.
00:09:18.000 They flew halfway across the world, dropped 30,000-pound bombs, 12 of them, on ventilation shafts that were literally the size of a washing machine, and then got out without ever landing.
00:09:28.000 They never landed the entire mission.
00:09:31.000 They did aerial refueling.
00:09:32.000 It's an amazing testament to American military power.
00:09:36.000 But the president used that military power to accomplish something that mattered to the American people.
00:09:42.000 He's been saying it for 10 years.
00:09:43.000 We can't let Iran get a nuclear weapon.
00:09:46.000 He accomplished it.
00:09:47.000 And now he's moving on, I think, to build more peace and more prosperity all across the Middle East.
00:09:52.000 I think he showed the Iranians that they're not nearly as tough as they might think that they are.
00:09:57.000 I think that he showed the Israelis that we're willing to use American power for our interests, but we're not going to get involved in another Middle East quagmire.
00:10:05.000 And I think that that combined message is going to hopefully lead to a period of great peace and prosperity in the Middle East, which of course will be great for the United States.
00:10:15.000 That'll mean, you know, more investment, more prosperity, more people building businesses in the Middle East is great for America.
00:10:21.000 More war is terrible for America.
00:10:23.000 And the president threaded the needle perfectly.
00:10:25.000 One final question.
00:10:26.000 I know I have to let you go.
00:10:27.000 Mr. Vice President, a lot of the base now is saying we need domestic wins, domestic, domestic, domestic.
00:10:32.000 And by the way, we had to do this whole Iran-Israel thing, the way the president handled it.
00:10:37.000 What are the top domestic priorities for this administration?
00:10:40.000 Mass deportations, no tax on TIPS.
00:10:42.000 Walk us through the marching orders for this audience so that we can really put the thrust and the energy and the velocity here domestically.
00:10:49.000 Yeah, of course, we have our big legislative priority, which is no taxes on TIPS, no taxes on overtime, but also a massive amount of funding for the border wall and for other immigration enforcement.
00:10:59.000 It's impossible, I think, really to do mass deportations unless you get some more money into border patrol, resources that have been really depleted under the Biden administration and not reinvested in our own security.
00:11:10.000 As you know, Charlie, I think the most important domestic policy issue, the reason why Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States, is the need to, one, stop the mass invasion and two, deport the people who were let in during Biden's mass invasion.
00:11:26.000 The president's very committed to that.
00:11:28.000 And the number that really matters, Charlie, is net migration numbers.
00:11:32.000 If you look for the first time in a very long time, we have fewer people coming into the country than we are getting out of the country.
00:11:40.000 That shows that we've stopped the flow of illegal immigration and we're starting the deportations.
00:11:45.000 And that, to me, is the most important thing.
00:11:48.000 It's the metric by which we'll be judged.
00:11:50.000 Obviously, you've seen the courts try to stop this stuff, but we're starting to get enough wins in courts that I think if we get the big, beautiful bill passed, you're going to see an accelerating approach to deportations as we implement that most important part of the agenda.
00:12:02.000 I love it.
00:12:03.000 Mr. Vice President, congratulations on playing a role in history.
00:12:07.000 We have your back.
00:12:07.000 Keep up with the great work.
00:12:08.000 Thank you so much.
00:12:09.000 Charlie, thanks, man.
00:12:10.000 Take care.
00:12:11.000 Thank you.
00:12:14.000 The world is waking up to the power of gold.
00:12:16.000 National banks are scrambling to secure it.
00:12:19.000 According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.
00:12:28.000 They understand what many investors don't.
00:12:31.000 Gold is real money.
00:12:32.000 Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes.
00:12:40.000 Now, Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.
00:12:44.000 As our new administration works to reverse the economic chaos of the past, market swings are inevitable.
00:12:50.000 When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom.
00:12:56.000 Gold can be that foundation, and right now, when you make a qualified investment, Noble Gold will send you a free tenth ounce of a gold coin.
00:13:04.000 Visit noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:13:06.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:13:08.000 The world is turning to gold.
00:13:10.000 Shouldn't you be looking into doing that too?
00:13:15.000 Okay, everybody, you just heard from the Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance.
00:13:20.000 That's why we work so hard to get J.D. Vance as vice president.
00:13:24.000 His prudence, his precision, his temperament, his understanding of all the issues.
00:13:31.000 He truly is a thought leader for a generation.
00:13:36.000 Now, whether he will be the next president or not, it's too early to do that.
00:13:39.000 Look, I'm 100% behind him if that's what he decides to do.
00:13:41.000 We have governing in front of us.
00:13:43.000 We have to pass the big beautiful bill.
00:13:45.000 We have to get to mass deportations.
00:13:47.000 And what President Donald Trump pulled off the Middle East is extraordinary, to say the least.
00:13:52.000 It's extraordinary.
00:13:53.000 It's breathtaking.
00:13:54.000 J.D. Vance's ability to articulate the president's agenda is second to none.
00:13:59.000 And understand, J.D. Vance is right in alignment with the president.
00:14:04.000 He is about violent, precise, short action, but does not want long quagmires or continued conflicts.
00:14:15.000 And he is a master class communicator.
00:14:18.000 As we are putting together our summer program, our student action summit program, I don't think J.D. will be able to join for this one.
00:14:26.000 Maybe, maybe not.
00:14:27.000 But, you know, he's got a lot of stuff going on.
00:14:28.000 The summer is, by the way, a lot of times people joke around in government, summer doesn't happen a lot.
00:14:32.000 This is like a rapid-paced summer.
00:14:33.000 You got wars, you got big, beautiful bill, you got taxes, you got border, you got deportations.
00:14:39.000 And J.D. Vance represents the best of the future of our party.
00:14:42.000 And just so we under, just so everyone understands, we've taken a leadership role the last couple of weeks.
00:14:48.000 We have not engaged in name-calling, except that's not true.
00:14:51.000 I did name-call two people, Lindsey Graham and James Langford.
00:14:56.000 That's true.
00:14:58.000 I did name-call Lindsey Graham and James Langford.
00:15:00.000 Besides that, it's been very nasty online, if you haven't noticed, you know, people hurling insults and all this stuff after each other.
00:15:07.000 But I think that there is a moment of reconciliation.
00:15:11.000 J.D. Vance was not a Trump supporter originally, and that was actually the argument I made to the president as to why I think J.D. Vance would make a great vice president.
00:15:20.000 It shows that there can be reconciliation and that people can come on board.
00:15:24.000 We want former people that weren't Trump supporters to become Trump supporters.
00:15:27.000 I mean, look at that shot right there.
00:15:28.000 That's Team America right there.
00:15:30.000 That's Team Peace.
00:15:31.000 That is Team Western Civilization.
00:15:34.000 Secondly, I think it's a very, very important point that is lost on people, is that the vice president does a lot of diplomacy.
00:15:43.000 Do you know that J.D. Vance was intimately involved in the peace settlement?
00:15:48.000 Intimately involved with the peace settlement between Israel and Iran, working with the Qataris, the right-hand man.
00:15:55.000 And what a difference it is from Mike Pence.
00:15:57.000 Mike Pence right now would be beating the drums of war, saying that we need regime change.
00:16:02.000 Privately, publicly, he'd send out some statement that is just superficial and nonsensical.
00:16:09.000 J.D. Vance is consistent with the MAGA base because his lived experience is MAGA.
00:16:16.000 He is from Appalachia.
00:16:19.000 He is from the hills of Ohio.
00:16:21.000 He is from a broken family.
00:16:24.000 He understood deindustrialization.
00:16:25.000 He understood drug use.
00:16:27.000 He understood abuse.
00:16:30.000 Served in the military, went to Yale, educated himself, never forgot where he came from as becoming Ohio senator.
00:16:35.000 I mean, it's one of the most incredible, authentic journeys and stories we've ever seen.
00:16:42.000 A blue-collar upbringing all the way up to the vice president of the United States.
00:16:46.000 Just look at that picture right there.
00:16:48.000 You could not fathom two guys that have more in common and more not in common than Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
00:16:56.000 One born to a broken home with no money, Donald Trump, billionaire.
00:17:00.000 Look at that difference.
00:17:02.000 One was destined to redefine the skyline of New York.
00:17:07.000 The other one was destined for failure, but he rose above it.
00:17:10.000 However, they do have something in common that people forget.
00:17:13.000 They are both class traders.
00:17:15.000 Both J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, they have defected from the ruling class.
00:17:21.000 J.D. Vance was a well-he spoke at the Aspen Institute.
00:17:24.000 Everyone loved him.
00:17:25.000 A Hillbilly Elegy.
00:17:26.000 Oh, my goodness.
00:17:26.000 J.D. Vance, tell us about how great everything is and Donald Trump's terrible and explain to us why white working class people are in such a revolt.
00:17:35.000 He got a Netflix movie.
00:17:37.000 And yet J.D. Vance defected from all that to become Donald Trump's vice president and a stalwart defender.
00:17:42.000 And just honestly, he's such a good person.
00:17:45.000 There's so much that gets said about politicians.
00:17:48.000 He's a great person.
00:17:49.000 You know, when J.D. calls me, it's just like talking to a normal guy.
00:17:53.000 It's not like talking to one of these senators.
00:17:54.000 It's just like so exhausting.
00:17:55.000 It's so scripted.
00:17:56.000 It's real.
00:17:57.000 It's raw.
00:17:58.000 It's authentic.
00:17:58.000 It's personal.
00:18:00.000 He's always asking, hey, how's your family?
00:18:02.000 How are your kids?
00:18:05.000 And Donald Trump is very much the same.
00:18:07.000 But we are blessed and we are lucky.
00:18:08.000 And Donald Trump deserves credit because he is really, he went out on a limb.
00:18:12.000 Remember, there was this major pressure campaign during the Veep stakes.
00:18:15.000 And we did everything we could on this program.
00:18:17.000 We were all in at like a hyper-aggressive level, both privately and publicly.
00:18:23.000 And President Trump, he resisted all of the yammering, all of the clamoring.
00:18:29.000 And he said, you know, I think JD's the guy.
00:18:32.000 It was a huge risk, and he was attacked out of the gate.
00:18:36.000 And now J.D. Vance's favorables are 55 plus percent, as they should be.
00:18:40.000 He's becoming a true statesman, and I'm honored to call him a friend.
00:18:46.000 Ask 10 people to define the word capitalism.
00:18:49.000 How many different responses do you think you'll get?
00:18:51.000 This is a word that comes up all the time, but does anyone know what it really means?
00:18:55.000 Do you?

00:19:45.000 So yesterday, the breaking news was made public.
00:19:50.000 President Donald Trump announced a historic ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
00:19:55.000 However, albeit the wording of the Truth Social post confused some people.
00:20:00.000 12 hours here, 24 hours there.
00:20:02.000 Can we put the Truth Social back up?
00:20:03.000 I think it's very important.
00:20:05.000 So the ceasefire was announced.
00:20:07.000 And just to understand the profundity of all this, President Donald Trump was able to get no nukes for Iran, no troops on the ground, no nation building, no quagmire, no endless wars, and the kicker, no U.S. troops dead.
00:20:23.000 No U.S. troops dead.
00:20:25.000 So here you see the statement on screen.
00:20:27.000 Yeah, if you guys could resend it to me.
00:20:29.000 Congratulations, everyone.
00:20:30.000 It has been fully agreed that there is a ceasefire.
00:20:32.000 So here's where people got a little confused.
00:20:34.000 In approximately six hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress final missions for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended.
00:20:43.000 Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire upon the 12th hour, and Israel will start the ceasefire upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war.
00:20:51.000 Okay, so people were kind of confused about the timing.
00:20:54.000 President Donald Trump worked very hard alongside J.D. Vance to get this deal done.
00:21:00.000 He made the calls.
00:21:01.000 He extended himself.
00:21:03.000 And by the way, he also just put a lot of people in their place.
00:21:06.000 President Donald Trump did not sleep last night.
00:21:09.000 And now he's on a plane to NATO.
00:21:11.000 I hope you understand that.
00:21:12.000 He is now on a plane all the way.
00:21:15.000 I think it's in Belgium.
00:21:17.000 I think that's where the NATO meeting is.
00:21:20.000 It's at The Hague?
00:21:21.000 Yeah.
00:21:22.000 God, it's in the Netherlands then.
00:21:23.000 So he's flying all the way around the world to the Netherlands to now go deal with all the NATO crowd.
00:21:29.000 And he was at the G7 last week dealing with that whole cabal.
00:21:33.000 So you got the G7 last week, and now he's going to NATO to go worry about Russia and Ukraine.
00:21:37.000 The guy is a machine, a machine.
00:21:40.000 And he brokered a settlement between Iran and Israel, 12-day war.
00:21:44.000 Too many people died.
00:21:45.000 Israel acted as they saw fit.
00:21:49.000 And there's a lot of questions that are going to be coming up about, you know, what are the intelligence and all that.
00:21:53.000 I'm not as interested in that.
00:21:54.000 A lot of people are going to be asking about that in the coming days.
00:21:57.000 But what I am interested in, what I think is very important, is you don't mess with President Trump.
00:22:01.000 And President Trump was very mad this morning, early.
00:22:06.000 President Donald Trump had an early launch to NATO.
00:22:09.000 I don't think I've ever heard him this mad, this public, as president to the press.
00:22:13.000 Not even, think about this, during his two impeachments, through his indictments, through facing 700 years in federal prison, not even after he got shot, did we see President Trump this mad, where President Donald Trump went right to the sticks and he said, these guys have been fighting so hard, they don't know what the F they are doing.
00:22:36.000 And this was the cuss heard around the world.
00:22:38.000 And that was, hey, everybody, dad didn't get any sleep last night.
00:22:43.000 And dad is mad.
00:22:44.000 So you better knock it off, Israel and Iran.
00:22:47.000 Now, stop it.
00:22:49.000 I don't care who gets the last word.
00:22:51.000 Bibi, you want to try to get the last word.
00:22:53.000 Iran, you want to get the last word.
00:22:55.000 Enough.
00:22:57.000 Dad is mad.
00:22:59.000 Stop being children.
00:23:01.000 Stop posturing.
00:23:03.000 I am beyond ticked at both of you guys.
00:23:05.000 And yes, he said that to Israel as well, equally with Iran, because Israel was playing a little games with, you know, just kind of the timing and all that.
00:23:15.000 And Trump said, I have done everything I possibly could do.
00:23:19.000 We flew B-2 bombers from Missouri around the world to drop bunker busters, to make sure a nuclear program did not exist for our own self-interest, and also make sure that you guys do not have a nuke dropped on you.
00:23:37.000 Israel just started unloading huge strikes on Iran, like emptying the clip.
00:23:40.000 And you could tell that was not exactly what President Trump heard when he was negotiating the ceasefire.
00:23:46.000 And boy, dad was ticked.
00:23:49.000 And this is Trump at his best.
00:23:51.000 This is Trump shows he's not owned by anybody.
00:23:54.000 He's not controlled by anybody.
00:23:56.000 He's not manipulated by anybody.
00:23:58.000 This is all about, wait a second.
00:23:59.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:01.000 Enough.
00:24:02.000 You two little kids are fighting across each other.
00:24:05.000 I'm not getting dogwalked by anybody.
00:24:09.000 This thing is over.
00:24:10.000 If it's all about who's going to get the last word, this will be a ceasefire that will take nine months to get done.
00:24:15.000 Oh, Iran gets the last word, and they launched another three missiles, and then Israel gets the last word.
00:24:20.000 Here's cut 403.
00:24:22.000 President Donald Trump on no sleep on his way to NATO after the G7 trying to pass the big beautiful bill.
00:24:28.000 Democrats are calling for his impeachment.
00:24:31.000 He's settling what is now one of the most remarkable peace deals we've seen, an absolute masterclass.
00:24:37.000 By the way, in addition to the India-Pakistan war that he solved and got no credit for, and he said enough.
00:24:44.000 And boy, do I love this Trump.
00:24:47.000 Play cut 403.
00:24:49.000 Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
00:24:55.000 The biggest load that we've seen.
00:24:57.000 I'm not happy with Israel.
00:24:58.000 You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.
00:25:05.000 So I'm not happy with them.
00:25:07.000 I'm not happy with Iran either.
00:25:08.000 We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f ⁇ they're doing.
00:25:16.000 You understand that?
00:25:18.000 Okay, so I usually don't like using swear words or cussing.
00:25:22.000 I 100% agree with this.
00:25:25.000 There's nothing that he could have said on some phone call, the BB or Iran, that would have been as powerful as right on the sticks at 6.30 in the morning, the F-bomb was heard around the world.
00:25:36.000 President Donald Trump was calling the shots, and all of a sudden you see that there's this major payload being dropped.
00:25:41.000 And he's enough.
00:25:43.000 And I don't want to hear from all the clamoring class of people online yammering, yammering, yamming.
00:25:47.000 Oh, Trump is controlled by a foreign power.
00:25:49.000 Cut it out.
00:25:50.000 President Trump's America first.
00:25:51.000 He saw the nuclear program in Iran as a threat to America.
00:25:55.000 He's been consistent about that for 20 years.
00:25:57.000 For 20 years, President Trump has said no nukes for Iran.
00:26:00.000 I know it might get you clicks.
00:26:02.000 It might get you attention.
00:26:02.000 Oh, you know, Trump is controlled by this.
00:26:04.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:26:06.000 And President Trump will not being put up with being embarrassed.
00:26:08.000 And he was not embarrassed.
00:26:10.000 But it was getting in the direction that a foreign power was trying to embarrass him.
00:26:16.000 And look, Israel did suffer an awful bombing last night, and our sympathy is them.
00:26:20.000 A direct hit.
00:26:21.000 But a ceasefire is a ceasefire.
00:26:23.000 This thing will never end.
00:26:25.000 It'll never end if you just tit for tat back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.
00:26:29.000 It's never going to end.
00:26:31.000 And somebody eventually has to say, peace is the prize.
00:26:35.000 This is why wars are hard to an end.
00:26:37.000 You think this one's hard to end?
00:26:38.000 Russia, Ukraine.
00:26:39.000 Who's going to get the last missile?
00:26:40.000 Well, we're going to send another drone strike or we're going to send another missile strike.
00:26:43.000 And that's why it takes an alpha.
00:26:45.000 It takes a leader.
00:26:47.000 It takes someone with the stones and the cojones and the chutzpah and the spine to come in and just throw it down.
00:26:53.000 And that's Donald Trump.
00:26:55.000 With moral clarity, by the way, no nukes for Iran.
00:26:58.000 We're on Western Civilizations team.
00:27:00.000 But Commander-in-Chief, I'm not going to oversee a 12-year war.
00:27:03.000 I'm not going to oversee a year and a half war.
00:27:06.000 We're not going to do that.
00:27:07.000 It's not going to happen.
00:27:08.000 Enough.
00:27:10.000 And you know what's so amazing?
00:27:12.000 As soon as he dropped the F bomb, all the fighting stopped.
00:27:20.000 You know, I get alerts here on my phone of all the air alerts.
00:27:26.000 Anytime there's an air alert in Israel, there's a Telegram channel, Israel Defense Forces.
00:27:30.000 And so every time that there's an air siren, and last night it was every couple minutes.
00:27:35.000 By the way, there was a big debate of whether or not Iran was in violation of the ceasefire.
00:27:39.000 And it was like, well, they launched the missiles technically before the ceasefire, but they're going to land after the ceasefire.
00:27:44.000 I said, what is this, the NBA?
00:27:46.000 Like, well, the ball left his hand, and then it still will count.
00:27:51.000 It's like, this is the NHL or NBA rules?
00:27:53.000 Like, what are the rules of the ceasefire?
00:27:55.000 It's like, well, as long as it leaves its hand, then eventually it can.
00:27:59.000 Okay, it's just the dumbest stuff that was being argued on Twitter.
00:28:04.000 Well, is this the NHL where the puck needs to be into the net by the time of regulation ending?
00:28:10.000 Stop it.
00:28:11.000 Here's what's important.
00:28:12.000 Is President Trump runs the world?
00:28:14.000 And has that not been on full display?
00:28:17.000 And you better believe that the Chinese Communist Party is keeping tabs of all this.
00:28:22.000 They say, whoa.
00:28:23.000 You think Xi Jinping wants to get an F-bomb heard around the world and the full military is at his disposal?
00:28:29.000 Taking out Iran's nuclear program, incredibly important.
00:28:32.000 A secondary of importance is now, you saw that President Donald Trump, he is putting on a masterclass and he is calling shots.
00:28:39.000 And our enemies better be taking notes because dad is home.

00:29:55.000 I actually just got a note from the president via his team.
00:29:58.000 If we could put this up on screen, he said to post it because he liked it.
00:30:03.000 He saw it on social media.
00:30:05.000 I said, no nukes for Iran, no troops on the ground, no U.S. troops dead, no regime change, no nation building, no war.
00:30:10.000 President Trump with Historic Masterclass.
00:30:12.000 And he says, post it.
00:30:13.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:30:14.000 And he signed it, which is pretty awesome.
00:30:16.000 And then he also signed another one that I will put up here.
00:30:19.000 Yeah, he said to post it, so we're putting it up live on air.
00:30:22.000 And here's the other one, which is zero U.S. casualties, zero Iranian missiles hit U.S. bases, zero need for the U.S. to retaliate as of now.
00:30:30.000 A large international and regional coalition mobilized to shoot down Iranian missiles.
00:30:34.000 This is clearly an extremely positive outcome for America and President Trump.
00:30:37.000 Take the W and off-ramp the de-escalation.
00:30:39.000 Pray for peace.
00:30:40.000 He signed it.
00:30:40.000 It's pretty awesome.
00:30:42.000 And that shows where President Trump's mindset is and has been this entire time.
00:30:47.000 So now he's heading to NATO.
00:30:50.000 By the way, could you imagine if he has the trifecta?
00:30:53.000 What do they call it in horse racing?
00:30:56.000 If you win the Kentucky Derby and the Triple Crown.
00:31:00.000 Thank you, Blake.
00:31:02.000 I think President Trump can win the Triple Crown here of peace.
00:31:06.000 Maybe the quadruple crown.
00:31:07.000 Can he solve Israel-Gaza?
00:31:09.000 By the way, I mean, Bibi is not, he better just stay focused.
00:31:13.000 Whatever President Trump says you should do, President Trump delivered big for Western civilization.
00:31:20.000 And I think this Israel-Gaza thing, we got to come up with some situation.
00:31:23.000 It's not sustainable to go in the current way it is.
00:31:25.000 And I'm 100% on Team Israel with this.
00:31:27.000 I think that people are totally misrepresenting it, but no one wants a long war.
00:31:31.000 Nobody wants a long, drawn-out conflict.
00:31:33.000 Nobody wants that.
00:31:34.000 But imagine, putting that one aside, if President Trump can solve the Ukrainian-Russian one, boy, imagine right now you got these, but just to understand, these NATO operators, these are like German professors.
00:31:46.000 These are like engineers.
00:31:47.000 And they measure everything and they overanalyze everything.
00:31:50.000 And they're kind of sitting in a room right now.
00:31:52.000 And they say, oh, President Trump's on his way.
00:31:57.000 And he's mad.
00:32:00.000 I'm telling you right now, President Donald Trump, he is going to be a sight to see at NATO.
00:32:05.000 He is going to come right off Air Force One and he's going to be like, you need to pay more and you need to pay more and you're a waste of time.
00:32:12.000 What the hell are you doing?
00:32:14.000 Why is this war going on?
00:32:16.000 And people are saying, have you ever seen Trump mad before?
00:32:18.000 Yes, I have seen Trump mad before.
00:32:20.000 I have not seen Trump mad publicly like that before.
00:32:23.000 Not like that.
00:32:24.000 I've seen him get upset, but that kind of intensity and that kind of ferocity, understand, we saw him through all these indictments.
00:32:31.000 He was doing courtroom pressers and he was stoic throughout the entire thing.
00:32:35.000 He'd get a little upset.
00:32:36.000 He was impeached twice, and he was like Marcus Aurelius.
00:32:40.000 I mean, the guy was centered.
00:32:42.000 But what gets Donald Trump mad?
00:32:44.000 Innocent killing after you gave your word.
00:32:48.000 That's very important.
00:32:49.000 By the way, I fully support the dropping of the F-bomb here.
00:32:51.000 What are we going to do?
00:32:51.000 We're just going to put up with this thing for another week?
00:32:57.000 And so now you've got to imagine these NATO people.
00:32:59.000 They're all sitting around and they're trying to say, okay, what is his mood?
00:33:03.000 You know, how does he feel?
00:33:05.000 And President Trump is not happy about this at all.
00:33:09.000 6,500 killed in the Russia-Ukrainian war last week.
00:33:13.000 And he's on a roll, man.
00:33:15.000 You know, Trump's got the hot hand, to use kind of a sports analogy.
00:33:18.000 Like, feed the hot hand, man.
00:33:21.000 Like, it's kind of like one of those things.
00:33:24.000 Again, I'm a huge 90 Bulls fan.
00:33:26.000 I think the 90s Bulls is the greatest sports team ever assembled.
00:33:29.000 Six championships, lost none.
00:33:31.000 It's kind of this old joke.
00:33:32.000 It was like, okay, so we got 12 seconds left.
00:33:36.000 We have the ball.
00:33:38.000 We're going to go give the ball to Dennis Rodman.
00:33:40.000 Yeah, I don't think so.
00:33:43.000 Everybody knows the ball is going to Michael Jordan.
00:33:46.000 Everyone knows it.
00:33:47.000 The other coach knows it.
00:33:49.000 Everybody knows the ball is going to Michael Jordan.
00:33:51.000 You could triple team them.
00:33:52.000 The ball's still going to Michael Jordan.
00:33:54.000 And he's got the hot hand, and that's Trump right now.
00:33:56.000 Boom, peace with India-Pakistan.
00:33:58.000 Boom.
00:33:59.000 And it's true.
00:33:59.000 Steve Kerr did get it once because there was a misdirection.
00:34:02.000 It's one of the great scenes in the last dance.
00:34:05.000 Michael is whispering under the towel, hey, Steve, I might give you the ball.
00:34:09.000 And Steve Kerr's like, okay, got it.
00:34:11.000 And he's like, screams at it.
00:34:12.000 And he's like, what the hell is trying to whisper?
00:34:14.000 And by the way, Steve Kerr is to the left of Scotland, but that's a separate issue for another time.
00:34:18.000 But Trump's got the hot hand.
00:34:20.000 India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran.
00:34:22.000 Let's get the trifecta.
00:34:24.000 Let's get the triple crown.
00:34:25.000 I'm telling you right now, if he ends Russia-Ukraine, it's a no contest for a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:34:29.000 I think he should get it anyway.
00:34:30.000 Obama got it for breathing.
00:34:32.000 Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:34:35.000 Ridiculous.
00:34:36.000 Trump should 100% get it, but he's on a roll.
00:34:38.000 And I would not want to be these NATO people right now.
00:34:41.000 These NATO people that are going to try to strong-arm Trump.
00:34:44.000 Whoop, wrong time to do that.
00:34:47.000 He is on a roll, as he should be.
00:34:50.000 He's putting Western civilization first, America first, our country first.
00:34:53.000 He's using American power for good.
00:34:56.000 Dick Cheney used American power for nation building.
00:35:01.000 The first thing that the Germans are going to say is, can I get a Diet Coke for you, Mr. President?
00:35:05.000 I mean, he's going to be like blitzing out of that plane.
00:35:08.000 I'm telling you right now, as he should be.
00:35:10.000 That's the Trump we want.
00:35:11.000 We want Trump the disruptor.
00:35:13.000 We want Trump the peacemaker.
00:35:14.000 We want Trump the, you know how long that this peacemaking process would have happened through normal diplomatic State Department channels?
00:35:20.000 It would have been a five-week thing.
00:35:21.000 Oh, we must have a committee meeting and we must vote on it.
00:35:24.000 And do we have a DEI representative?
00:35:26.000 Oh, nonsense.
00:35:28.000 We have peace in the Middle East, and I think peace is coming to Russia, Ukraine.
00:35:31.000 Okay, email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:35:34.000 President Donald Trump put on an absolute masterclass in the Middle East.
00:35:38.000 And President Donald Trump was fired up this morning.
00:35:43.000 Let's go to Cut 405.
00:35:45.000 I think the reason we're here is because those pilots, those B2 pilots, did an unbelievable job.
00:35:51.000 And, you know, the fake news, like CNN in particular, they're trying to, you know, they're trying to say, well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.
00:36:00.000 You know what they're doing?
00:36:01.000 They're really hurting great violence that put their lives in the line.
00:36:05.000 CNN is scum, and so is MSDNC.
00:36:08.000 They're all, and frankly, the networks aren't much better.
00:36:11.000 It's all fake news.
00:36:13.000 President Donald Trump is rightly focused on the fact.
00:36:16.000 I was watching CNN last night.
00:36:18.000 It was horrible.
00:36:20.000 It was so anti-Trump.
00:36:22.000 Here's a guy who brings peace between these two major powers, between Persia and Israel, after 12 days.
00:36:30.000 And I was trying to watch CNN, and it was just, I couldn't digest it.
00:36:35.000 I couldn't tolerate it.
00:36:36.000 It was so bad.
00:36:38.000 It was so nakedly partisan.
00:36:40.000 Here's President Donald Trump cut 404.
00:36:43.000 I don't think so, but I'm not happy that Israel's going out now.
00:36:46.000 There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard.
00:36:49.000 It was after the time limit, and it missed its target.
00:36:54.000 And now Israel's going out.
00:36:56.000 These guys got to calm down.
00:36:57.000 Ridiculous.
00:37:01.000 I didn't like plenty of things I saw yesterday.
00:37:03.000 I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal.
00:37:07.000 They didn't have to unload.
00:37:08.000 And I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong.
00:37:13.000 And I'm just kind of getting to the general vibe of President Trump's attitude this morning.
00:37:19.000 He wasn't putting up with any BS from anybody.
00:37:21.000 He wasn't putting it up from the media.
00:37:24.000 He wasn't putting it up from anybody that would cross him.
00:37:27.000 Look, he holds all the cards.
00:37:29.000 And I'll tell you, you better watch out, NATO.
00:37:32.000 And now here's where the rallying cry of this program is going to go.
00:37:36.000 We need to end this Russia-Ukrainian war.
00:37:38.000 But I think things are going to start to march into our hemisphere.
00:37:42.000 I think that now that we got Israel-Iran sorted out, we got to get Russia-Ukraine sorted out.
00:37:46.000 And then we have a lot of work we have to do in this hemisphere.
00:37:49.000 I'm telling you, everybody, we need to do Project 10 million.
00:37:51.000 Project 10 million is removing the 10 million alien invaders in this country.
00:37:55.000 We have 25, 30 million.
00:37:57.000 10 million is going to be a big number in four years, which is basically going to launch a soft civil war in the major cities.
00:38:03.000 That's why what's happening in New York is so important, which we'll talk about later in the show.
00:38:06.000 That's why what's happening in L.A. is so important.
00:38:08.000 Let's put 410 up on screen.
00:38:10.000 President Donald Trump on Truth Social.
00:38:12.000 He's had quite a morning on Truth Social.
00:38:14.000 Now that we have made peace abroad, we must finish the job here at home by passing the great big beautiful bill and getting the bill to my desk, ASAP.
00:38:22.000 It'll be a historic present for the great people of the United States of America as we begin the celebration of our country's 250th birthday.
00:38:28.000 We're entering our golden age, which will bring unprecedented safety, security, and prosperity for all of our citizens.
00:38:34.000 To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must and don't go home.
00:38:37.000 Get the deal done this week.
00:38:39.000 Work with the House so they can pick it up, pass it immediately, no vacation until it's done.
00:38:44.000 This is about fulfilling a mandate.
00:38:46.000 The big, beautiful bill is about deportations.
00:38:49.000 It's about southern border security.
00:38:51.000 It is about tax cuts.
00:38:53.000 It's about energy.
00:38:54.000 It's about economic renaissance.
00:38:57.000 This is what is called a mandate Bill.
00:39:01.000 A mandate bill is: we are going to do the things that we were elected on.
00:39:05.000 It's not a policy bill.
00:39:06.000 It's not even a budget bill.
00:39:08.000 And we're getting rid of the green news scam stuff.
00:39:10.000 It's the largest spending cut.
00:39:11.000 It should be more spending cuts.
00:39:12.000 We all know that.
00:39:12.000 But unfortunately, we have a couple Republicans that won't go along.
00:39:16.000 This is now crunch time.
00:39:17.000 We got Islam Iran figured out.
00:39:18.000 We have to get this big, beautiful bill passed.
00:39:20.000 It is mission critical for every agenda item in front of us.
00:39:25.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
