00:00:58.000 Okay, everybody, breaking news.

00:01:00.000 Hello.

00:01:00.000 It is now 7.10 p.m.

00:01:02.000 Eastern, and we can report, and it has been verified both with sources inside the U.S. government and externally, there is a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, brokered by President Donald Trump.

00:01:14.000 President Donald Trump writes on Truth Social, quote, congratulations to everyone.

00:01:18.000 It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their progress final missions for 12 hours at which point the war will be considered ended.

00:01:34.000 Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire and upon the 24th hour an official end to the 12 day war, 12-day war will be saluted by the world.

00:01:46.000 During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful.

00:01:49.000 On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war.

00:01:59.000 This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. 0.58

00:02:04.000 God bless Israel.

00:02:05.000 God bless Iran.

00:02:06.000 God bless the Middle East.

00:02:07.000 And God bless the United States of America.

00:02:09.000 And God bless the world.

00:02:11.000 This is a massive victory, everybody, as people woke up today with a lot of dooming.

00:02:16.000 And I got to say that on this program, we took a big lot of incoming, a lot of incoming when he said, trust President Trump, trust the president, and trust his team and his ability to navigate all of this.

00:02:30.000 And not only today did we get a very fake theatrical response from Iran with zero American troops killed.

00:02:37.000 None.

00:02:37.000 Zero American troops killed.

00:02:39.000 We are now getting a peace deal in the Middle East.

00:02:43.000 We are getting a settlement in the Middle East, the likes of which we never could have imagined, that will now bring this to closure between Israel and Iran. 0.99

00:02:52.000 There is some news circulating online where people say, oh, this is fake.

00:02:56.000 This is not true.

00:02:57.000 Some Iranian official did not confirm this.

00:03:00.000 That is not correct.

00:03:00.000 Iran has confirmed to Reuters the ceasefire is happening.

00:03:04.000 Don't believe the fake news, quote, Reuters reports that according to a source close to negotiations, Qatar's prime minister spoke with Tehran by phone and gained Iran's agreement to a U.S. ceasefire proposal.

00:03:16.000 You're seeing Qatar as kind of being a central player in all of this.

00:03:20.000 I believe we have Jack Pesobic here.

00:03:22.000 I want to bring him in, but everyone, I want to just repeat, there's no boots on the ground.

00:03:25.000 There is no endless war.

00:03:26.000 There's no regime change.

00:03:27.000 There is no change in the hearts of minds.

00:03:29.000 There is no consensus-changing war.

00:03:32.000 There is no Iraq. 0.99

00:03:33.000 There is no Afghanistan. 0.97

00:03:34.000 There is no Syria. 1.00

00:03:35.000 There is no Libya. 0.93

00:03:36.000 Instead, President Trump has charted a third way.

00:03:39.000 No nuclear program, no dead U.S. troops, no regime change, no long endless war.

00:03:46.000 Jack Pesobic is here.

00:03:48.000 Jack, this is a remarkable victory for President Trump, for our agenda, for the American people.

00:03:53.000 And I just got to say, there's a lot of people that are going to have to do some backpedaling and some apologizing for everything they said about President Trump, everything they said about our movement the last couple of days.

00:04:02.000 Jack Poseobic, your thoughts on this historic ceasefire announcement that President Trump was able to broker?

00:04:09.000 Well, Charlie, they said it couldn't be done.

00:04:11.000 And just like so many other things, as President Trump has said throughout his career, under budget and ahead of schedule.

00:04:18.000 So this is something where, of course, a peace deal between, or at least a ceasefire, I should say, not a full peace deal, but a ceasefire, hopefully, which leads to a peace deal.

00:04:28.000 And I'm sure there's going to be much more work as we see coming through with Witkoff and President Trump's other ambassadors and envoys into that region as it goes through, that this is what President Trump had been working for all along.

00:04:42.000 We know that there had been recalcitrants.

00:04:44.000 Obviously, there are deep simmering resentments in the region.

00:04:49.000 This has been a fight that's been going on for a long, long time, a lot longer than you and I have been alive, Charlie.

00:04:54.000 But it was only through President Trump that perhaps this daylight was allowed to be brokered through.

00:05:01.000 And, you know, the biggest losers here are the neocons.

00:05:04.000 The biggest losers are the people who wanted this to get into a protracted war, who wanted this full-on regime change war in Iran.

00:05:12.000 Senator Lindsey Graham is down there in the well of the Senate for all afternoon. 0.67

00:05:17.000 And we played this earlier.

00:05:19.000 And, you know, he's talking about, oh, we need regime change now, regime change now, regime change now.

00:05:24.000 But look, President Trump has said that, you know, he wouldn't be against it, but he signaled that he's not for a larger war.

00:05:31.000 He drew one circle around the nuclear, the nuclear goals, the nuclear ambitions of Iran.

00:05:37.000 He said no, but he said that's it.

00:05:38.000 And now boom has fully come back to the position that he always had, where it's to say, number one, stop the nukes.

00:05:46.000 And then number two, we want peace.

00:05:48.000 And so this, by the way, Charles, this opens up doors potentially for an even broader peace agreement down the road.

00:05:57.000 And so politically, I think what a lot of people miss is that President Trump was setting this all up for a larger peace deal.

00:06:05.000 And he had to get the pieces in place at first.

00:06:07.000 And maybe at one time or another, not everyone could see the big picture.

00:06:11.000 But that's what President Trump was always playing from.

00:06:14.000 This is the commander's desired end state.

00:06:17.000 And it's very clear, as we would say in the military, that the commander's desired end state has been achieved.

00:06:23.000 And by the way, this is very important that everyone understand that we have a ceasefire framework between Israel and Iran.

00:06:30.000 Now, it's a little more complex than that.

00:06:31.000 It has to like play itself out like 12 hours to 24 hours.

00:06:34.000 But this is now confirmed by the Emir of Qatar.

00:06:37.000 this is made to everybody.

00:06:38.000 Everyone says, oh, World War III, price of oil is going $180 a barrel.

00:06:42.000 Understand this.

00:06:43.000 President Donald Trump did two things simultaneously: no nuclear weapons for Iran and no endless wars.

00:06:48.000 Remember, Jack, we talked about that.

00:06:50.000 Was President Trump's challenge here was trying to balance those two things together, that we do not want endless war.

00:06:56.000 We don't want regime change.

00:06:57.000 We don't want boots on the ground.

00:06:58.000 We don't want any of the stuff that John Bolton and Lindsey Graham want, but we also don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

00:07:03.000 How can we balance those two things together?

00:07:05.000 And President Donald Trump, he was able to navigate this with incredible specificity, understanding the lack of appetite, including for himself, to have boots on the ground, while also saying that we are going to remove Iran's nuclear capability. 0.81

00:07:22.000 Jack, should Donald Trump be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize?

00:07:25.000 Well, Charlie, he certainly should.

00:07:27.000 I believe the government of Pakistan just a couple of days ago nominated President Trump for it.

00:07:32.000 So for once, I'm able to say that I agree with the Pakistanis. 0.99

00:07:36.000 And I think that President Trump certainly should be in the room.

00:07:39.000 Look, there's no president anywhere, certainly not Barack Obama, who got us into deeper and deeper war against this, who got the Nobel Peace Prize, but he got it on day one of his administration before he'd even done anything, before he had kicked off the regime change war in Libya, before he kicked off the Syrian civil war, which turned into yet another protracted regime change war, where, by the way, Americans died, where Americans died.

00:08:05.000 And Charlie, we haven't seen any Americans killed here whatsoever.

00:08:09.000 Look, they're calling President Trump, and I said this last week.

00:08:11.000 They're going to be saying this.

00:08:12.000 And people came at me and I said, they're going to be calling him on, I said this on Human Events Daily, the dealmaker in chief.

00:08:19.000 This is the man who wrote the art of the deal.

00:08:22.000 This is the man who put it together.

00:08:23.000 And he's proven to the entire world that he is, in fact, the deal maker in chief.

00:08:28.000 And by the way, can we just also say that some of the quote-unquote trusted voices have gotten this thing so wrong?

00:08:34.000 It turns out, Jack, I mean, we have to take a little bit of a victory lap for here for this program and for what we've been doing on our podcast, what we've been doing together.

00:08:40.000 Jack, we kind of pitched a little bit of a perfect game here.

00:08:43.000 You know, we said no regime change.

00:08:45.000 We said it was likely that President Trump was going to strike.

00:08:47.000 We even offered some caution, introductory elements of this.

00:08:51.000 But President Trump here, he acted with incredible prudence and decisiveness.

00:08:56.000 And now we have not just an end to U.S. involvement in the Middle East.

00:08:59.000 This is an end to the war, a war that people thought was going to be the war to end all wars.

00:09:04.000 Who would have thought 12 days ago, Jack, that Israel preemptively striking Iran would end 12 days later with zero American troops dead and no nuclear program for Iran?

00:09:13.000 I hope you all understand this is not normal.

00:09:16.000 This usually results in regime change, boots on the grounds, Marines in Tehran.

00:09:20.000 We're mobilizing aircraft carriers.

00:09:22.000 Instead, President Donald Trump brought it right up to the brink, got what we wanted, and was able then to proceed for what was best for America and for Western civilization.

00:09:30.000 Jack Pesobic.

00:09:31.000 Well, and Charlie, not only that, but, you know, and I'll give credit where credit's due.

00:09:36.000 Charlie, you were the one who called when Israel's initial attack would take place.

00:09:41.000 You were the one who said, I guess 12 days, if we're calling it the 12-day war, I love that branding, by the way.

00:09:46.000 If we're calling it the 12-day war, then Charlie, it was you 12 days ago, several hours, two hours, right?

00:09:52.000 I'm remembering now, two hours exactly to the moment when you said the strikes would be taking place, right?

00:09:58.000 So we knew that we came up live and people said, why are Jack and Charlie live?

00:10:02.000 Why are you guys doing all this?

00:10:03.000 Because you had the intel, right?

00:10:05.000 So when you're watching the Charlie Kirk show, when you're watching Real America's Voice, when you're watching Human Events Daily, you're ahead of the mainstream media.

00:10:12.000 And then Steve, even publicly, Steve Bannon over on War Room on the Saturday morning show, when we're up there, we're saying the party's on tonight.

00:10:19.000 The party's on.

00:10:20.000 It's the only place in the world that you heard any of that.

00:10:23.000 And so for people who are saying, oh, well, these guys, they're this way, they're that way.

00:10:26.000 I said, guys, if you would listen to us and just us for the entire time, and I'm not saying you have to do that, by the way, go listen to anybody.

00:10:32.000 Listen to anybody you want.

00:10:33.000 I'm not one of those people.

00:10:35.000 But if you did listen to us, we told you what was going to happen, when it was going to happen, and generally, I think for pretty much every major piece of this before it happened, with the exception, and I will say with the exception of this peace deal, this ceasefire deal, because only President Trump could have done it in Trump time.

00:10:53.000 And by the way, he makes this look so easy.

00:10:55.000 Understand what he just did.

00:10:56.000 Obama was never able to do.

00:10:58.000 Bush was never able to do.

00:10:59.000 No permanent war, no nuclear program.

00:11:02.000 No permanent war, no nuclear program.

00:11:03.000 And no pallets of cash either.

00:11:05.000 Remember the pallets of cash, Charlie?

00:11:06.000 No pallets of cash, no sanction relief.

00:11:08.000 Everybody, this is not normal.

00:11:10.000 And for all the people that were doubting President Trump, we never wavered on this program.

00:11:14.000 And I want to even say more importantly, for those of you that never wavered, good on you.

00:11:17.000 For those of you that trusted President Trump, for those of you that knew that President Trump had the wisdom and he had the experience and he had the wherewithal, God bless you because you understood exactly the high-stake situation here.

00:11:28.000 And remember, we went through the list when President Trump struck Syria, no endless war.

00:11:33.000 President Trump took out Solemani, no endless war.

00:11:36.000 President Trump took out ISIS, no endless war.

00:11:39.000 In fact, I could even say this was not even a war.

00:11:42.000 And all these people that were attacking President Trump and so viciously attacking them, you were wrong.

00:11:47.000 Let me say this again.

00:11:48.000 You were wrong.

00:11:49.000 And by the way, you should also just say I was wrong.

00:11:51.000 It's okay to be wrong in life, but you know what's not okay?

00:11:54.000 And it's not okay to lie to your audience, act as if you had President Trump's back this entire time.

00:11:58.000 And Jack, you remember you and I were texting yesterday.

00:12:00.000 I want to throw to Andrew.

00:12:01.000 Jack, remember I was defending President Trump yesterday on X, and people were saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's a little hot there, Charlie.

00:12:06.000 The tide is turning against Trump.

00:12:07.000 And I said, no, no, no, no.

00:12:08.000 Remember that, Jack?

00:12:09.000 You and I were texting.

00:12:09.000 I said, I'm going all in.

00:12:10.000 We're defending this guy.

00:12:12.000 This guy, and now 24 hours later, the people that were honestly so flimsy against President Trump, I'm getting really fired up here.

00:12:20.000 And Andrew, you could tell, Andrew, you and I were talking about this, that on X and some social channels, people had no trust in President Trump.

00:12:27.000 What else does President Trump have to do to win your trust over?

00:12:30.000 He ended the Indian-Pakistan war.

00:12:32.000 President Trump has secured the southern border completely.

00:12:34.000 We have inflation going down.

00:12:36.000 We're about to pass the big beautiful bill.

00:12:38.000 And now President Trump is ending Israel-Iran war while no nuclear weapons.

00:12:42.000 Andrew, I would think at this point, President Trump has overwhelmingly earned your trust.

00:12:47.000 Andrew. 0.53

00:12:48.000 Yeah, I mean, Charlie, what I think about is just how many people President Trump has made fools of this week and last week.

00:12:56.000 And what was unique about this is we're used to President Trump making fools of the foreign policy establishment or Democrats or the media talking heads.

00:13:07.000 But this was a little bit different because it struck at this online debate about the position of Israel, about foreign interventions. 0.78

00:13:16.000 And so it made fools of a new cadre of people.

00:13:20.000 And one of the things that I'm really proud of our show and of Jack's show, War Room certainly, is that there was a lack of panic.

00:13:31.000 And I'll never forget when you went on Jesse Waters on, it looks like June 16th.

00:13:36.000 So about seven days ago, one week to the day.

00:13:39.000 And it looked like there was just this, you know, is he going to strike?

00:13:43.000 What do we do if he strikes?

00:13:44.000 You know, Israel's forcing the hand. 0.93

00:13:46.000 What do you do in this impossible situation?

00:13:49.000 And I'll never forget, you looked at the camera, Jesse threw it to you and you said, you know what you do?

00:13:55.000 You trust Trump.

00:13:56.000 He's earned our trust.

00:13:57.000 And then for the next week, you just saw, I think, a lot of Trump's supporters echoing that sentiment.

00:14:05.000 Trust Trump.

00:14:05.000 You know, what are we going to do?

00:14:06.000 This is why we elected the guy.

00:14:08.000 You need a strong person in this impossible situation.

00:14:12.000 And I'll say one more thing, Charlie.

00:14:15.000 I think yesterday, especially on X, there was this argument kind of raging about, you don't blindly trust any politician.

00:14:22.000 I don't care if his name's Trump or whatever.

00:14:24.000 And it's like, yeah, that's true.

00:14:27.000 You can always ask questions.

00:14:28.000 You always raise concerns.

00:14:30.000 You always have a robust debate.

00:14:31.000 That's the sign of a healthy movement.

00:14:33.000 But what's not a healthy position when you have a guy that you've been riding with for 10 years now that survived assassination attempts, impeachment attempts, that's done foreign interventions, by the way, with Soleimani and ISIS and the Moab, and he's gone toe-to-toe with Rocketman in North Korea. 0.57

00:14:51.000 I mean, this guy has earned our trust that he is not a regime change president, that he is not a quagmire or nation builder president.

00:15:00.000 And so there was a lot of groundwork that he'd done in the past decade that he deserved our trust.

00:15:07.000 And so for people to so blindly throw that away and act like that he that he had somehow fundamentally changed, I mean, I get it.

00:15:14.000 We've all got a little PTSD after the last decade, but that was kind of my point.

00:15:19.000 It's one thing that there was.

00:15:20.000 But there was no consistency to it.

00:15:22.000 It's just, and I'm sorry to interrupt, but like the people that were saying that, there was no reason to believe that somehow after Solomoni, after al-Baghdadi, after Syria, after all of his campaign promises, all of a sudden Donald Trump was going to re-emerge as John Bolton.

00:15:34.000 Only you and your own delusion would lead you to that.

00:15:37.000 And I was just trying to reconfigure people.

00:15:38.000 I said, who do you think this guy is?

00:15:40.000 He's playing high game brinksmanship.

00:15:42.000 He's saying one thing.

00:15:44.000 He's doing rhetorical dance with another.

00:15:46.000 He's doing rhetorical threats.

00:15:48.000 And by the way, you could actually probably play out.

00:15:50.000 Yeah, and by the way, Jack, you could make an argument.

00:15:52.000 His regime change tweet yesterday was a little bit of a taunt and a threat to Iran to not go after U.S. service members because in the back of their head, they were thinking, oh, my goodness, potentially, you know, Donald Trump is going to execute regime change.

00:16:06.000 Well, and you never know.

00:16:07.000 Iran.

00:16:08.000 Please, Jack.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, you never know also behind the scenes what phone calls he's making, what messages he's making to the Russians, to the Chinese, to Xi Jinping, to Vladimir Putin.

00:16:18.000 We saw that the Iranian foreign minister was in Russia last night.

00:16:22.000 He's talking to the Israelis.

00:16:23.000 So President Trump, and Charlie, you know this as well as anyone.

00:16:25.000 He's working the phones constantly.

00:16:27.000 He's constant communication with everybody, certainly talking to world leaders.

00:16:31.000 So this idea that just because he's sending one message out publicly, that's the only thing he's thinking about is, guys, you're not always seeing the bigger picture.

00:16:40.000 And I'm not making some argument for, you know, oh, 4D warfare or whatever, but you never know who he's talking to specifically in situations like this.

00:16:49.000 And let's not forget for a second here that this was the man who walked into North Korea, who stepped across that line.

00:16:56.000 Barack Obama was terrified of going, the binoculars up there.

00:17:00.000 And, you know, he's looking, oh, the observation post.

00:17:02.000 President Trump's a man who took Kim Jong-un's hand and walked directly into North Korea, crossing that line.

00:17:08.000 And so he was willing to do so in the name of peace and normalizing relations between the world and North Korea.

00:17:16.000 And so we know President Trump's commitment.

00:17:18.000 He's put himself personally in harm's way in the name of peace.

00:17:23.000 And so when you see different things that go out there, I always just say, he's the deal maker in chief.

00:17:27.000 He's always doing art of the deal.

00:17:29.000 You never know what's going on behind the scenes.

00:18:42.000 And Jack, to your point, I think part of the Trump doctrine, the MAGA doctrine, is the unpredictability of it all.

00:18:49.000 And this is what you saw at play with the base.

00:18:52.000 The base had sort of, especially online on places like X, had created a myth of dovishness for President Trump that I don't think he's ever actually sort of put out there.

00:19:01.000 He's like, yeah, listen, what I do works.

00:19:03.000 I don't start new wars.

00:19:05.000 I finish old ones. 0.99

00:19:06.000 I finish dumb wars. 0.95

00:19:08.000 But like, what you were seeing is that the base was like, well, we want peace. 0.97

00:19:11.000 We don't want deployment of troops.

00:19:13.000 And what the whole point of Trump's brinksmanship is that he's able to defy norms.

00:19:18.000 He has to, you have to give him latitude, a very wide latitude and wide leash to even defy sort of the things that he's, you know, sort of promised or said.

00:19:29.000 I know that may sound counterintuitive, but if you were to bring him back, if you were to sort of demand that he couldn't make those points, then you would take away his leverage, you would take away his brinksmanship and the thing that makes Trump Trump.

00:19:43.000 And this is exactly, Charlie.

00:19:44.000 I want to give you some credit here.

00:19:46.000 This is cut 377.

00:19:47.000 Please get it ready.

00:19:49.000 And this was, again, on June 16th, in the middle of all of this fog, as the base, you could feel the base getting very unsettled, very unsettled.

00:19:58.000 And you went on Fox, which, if we're just being honest, there's a lot of people on Fox that are a lot more hawkish about war.

00:20:05.000 And Jesse asked you, well, hey, what about the base that sounds like they don't want this?

00:20:09.000 And you threaded the needle brilliantly.

00:20:11.000 You had Trump's back.

00:20:12.000 You gave him latitude to act.

00:20:14.000 And it was a brilliant moment.

00:20:16.000 I'm never personally going to forget this moment because the stakes were so high that night, Charlie, 377.

00:20:23.000 President Trump understands his base extraordinarily well.

00:20:26.000 He knows that his base does not want another Iraq. 1.00

00:20:29.000 He does not want Libya, does not want a civil war or bedlam where the United States is left carrying the bag. 0.84

00:20:35.000 But also, President Trump has been morally clear for a decade, Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.

00:20:40.000 And President Trump has the talent and the expertise to be able to thread that needle.

00:20:45.000 The generation that I represent, Jesse, the under 30 crowd, they absolutely are very war-weary.

00:20:51.000 Many of them voted for President Trump on college campuses because they did not want to see a Joe Biden or George Bush philosophy where we get into this endless conflict where we're sending hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:21:03.000 I think President Trump will be able to balance those two things while defending our allies, saying that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon without having to deploy a single American troop or even having America involved from the sky.

00:21:14.000 President Trump can get that deal done while fulfilling the mandate that the voters gave him.

00:21:19.000 Called the shot, Charlie.

00:21:21.000 Your reaction to yourself, Charlie.

00:21:23.000 No, the only thing I might, I put a caveat without maybe America not getting involved from the sky.

00:21:28.000 Turns out President Trump authorized that.

00:21:30.000 Besides that, I think we called the shot pretty clearly, right?

00:21:34.000 And so, and I just want to repeat this, everybody.

00:21:36.000 You are living through history.

00:21:38.000 You understand how unlikely this.

00:21:40.000 If Joe Biden was president, we would be authorizing $50 billion in aid to the Persian rebels.

00:21:45.000 If Joe Biden was president, we'd be calling for regime change and they would have another endless war on our hands.

00:21:50.000 Understand, President Donald Trump is like, well, I'm not going to go down this sink.

00:21:53.000 We're saying, end this thing.

00:21:55.000 And by the way, for all of the people that are, you know, anti-Qatar, and I get it, you know, there's money flowing from Qatar all over the places and not some good place.

00:22:01.000 And yes, you know, they're warmer with the Iranians than they should be. 0.98

00:22:04.000 If it wasn't for Qatar and our relationship with Qatar, we might not have been able to end this thing right now. 0.93

00:22:09.000 Qatar played a central role in us being able to end this war.

00:22:15.000 Yeah, no, no, please.

00:22:17.000 I'm thinking about, you know, there's been so much criticism, and Jack, you could probably weigh in on this even more, but like of President Trump seemingly cozying up to Qatar.

00:22:27.000 Also, but think about the olive branch, Charlie, that he offered to Syria.

00:22:32.000 So, I mean, but so Trump is playing this whole thing differently and counterintuitively, and those friendships and those olive branches are giving him extraordinary leverage in this region to pressure the Saudis, the Qataris, Bahrainis, all of them to get on board with this peace plan.

00:22:50.000 And we just have to repeat this.

00:22:53.000 And Jack, I want to throw it to you.

00:22:54.000 This is not normal.

00:22:55.000 What President Trump has been able to execute is in no way normal whatsoever.

00:23:00.000 This is being able to bring different components together when we have Iran, we have Israel. 0.78

00:23:08.000 We woke up this morning wondering what is Iran's response going to be.

00:23:12.000 We are now ending the day with a drafted ceasefire.

00:23:18.000 Again, there's still some components there, 12-hour, 24-hour.

00:23:20.000 It's kind of confusing with all that.

00:23:21.000 You got to finish your operations, kind of get it out of their system.

00:23:24.000 So, Jack, but understand this.

00:23:26.000 Were there not people this afternoon, Jack, that were pushing for the regime change upsell?

00:23:31.000 And if so, who?

00:23:33.000 Well, there were.

00:23:34.000 And I'm looking at some of the data.

00:23:35.000 So it's been 90 minutes at this point.

00:23:38.000 I want to be clear.

00:23:38.000 It's been 90 minutes, just for a check-in for everybody.

00:23:41.000 90 minutes since President Trump has announced this.

00:23:44.000 So the complete and total ceasefire, which so six hours after his tweet, which is at 6 p.m.

00:23:51.000 Eastern Time, would be midnight on the Eastern Seaboard here.

00:23:55.000 So midnight at the Eastern Seaboard.

00:23:57.000 As we know, by the way, President Trump scheduled to attend the NATO conference in The Hague tomorrow.

00:24:02.000 And so this obviously will be a huge part of those discussions.

00:24:07.000 But we're going to be really, you know, potentially up till midnight to see what's going on.

00:24:11.000 Operations continuing between Iran and Israel.

00:24:15.000 Also getting some reports of explosions in Baghdad right now.

00:24:20.000 So in Iraq, a lot of questions as to actually how this goes.

00:24:24.000 But I think the next 12 to 24 hours are going to be absolutely critical.

00:24:28.000 But Charlie, to your point, this is something in the Wall Street, the Washington Post actually quoted me on this, this phrase, the regime change upsell.

00:24:36.000 And here's what I said.

00:24:38.000 I said, look, President Trump has always been clear that he wants the denuclearization of Iran and that this operation was solely focused on the denuclearization of Iran.

00:24:50.000 It's something that he said even when he came down the golden escalator 10 plus years ago now.

00:24:54.000 However, there were those out there trying to upsell him on it.

00:24:58.000 Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, you just saw this cavalcade of people saying, well, you know, you can't let the regime stay in power, Mr. President.

00:25:08.000 You've got to take them out because that's the way to do this.

00:25:11.000 And Yahoo himself said this as well.

00:25:13.000 So there was this regime change, this idea of upselling.

00:25:16.000 Like when you, you know, I compared it to when you go to the dentist for, you know, a cleaning and then they start trying to upsell you and pulling your wisdom teeth and all this other work or when your car has got, need some new tires, and then suddenly they want to put brakes and rotors and all this other work being done.

00:25:30.000 And Shane Gillis actually has a whole new sitcom all about working in an auto shop, right?

00:25:35.000 He's a mechanic.

00:25:36.000 It's really funny, by the way.

00:25:38.000 And so this idea of the regime change upsell, they use the foot in the door strategy.

00:25:42.000 So they get their foot in the door on the denuclearization and then they try to upsell.

00:25:47.000 They say, well, you're here anyway.

00:25:48.000 You might as well take them out.

00:25:49.000 You might as well get the rest of it.

00:25:51.000 Lindsey Graham gives this massive speech, right?

00:25:53.000 So Lindsey Graham gives a massive speech in the well of the Senate today saying, we need to do this, we need to do that.

00:25:59.000 We have to take him out.

00:26:00.000 Compares it to World War II, compares it to Hitler. 0.65

00:26:03.000 And within minutes after Lindsey Graham's speech and within minutes after three hours, almost exactly.

00:26:11.000 So within three hours of Mark Levin going up and almost directly attacking president trump for calling for peace boom president trump has announced a peace deal in terms of this ceasefire so for those guys who are pushing the regime change upsell really does not look good on you really does not so we have blake here as well i'm going to throw to blake in a second here but andrew i want to kind of get back to you here the online chatter and the online vibe here i mean this is a major victory right that this is this is as big as it and good as it gets what does

00:26:41.000 this mean politically andrew because what i'm reading online a lot of people are starting the big backpedal a lot of people that were attacking president trump and doubting president trump they're scrubbing tweets they're deleting tweets actually they're reconfiguring they're trying to manipulate audiences andrew what does this mean politically and also talk our audience through some of the incoming that we received for trying to tell people to remain calm and steady throughout these last couple of days yeah i mean i'll start with that last question first i mean charlie you've personally been called a warmonger and

00:27:11.000 you've been called an isolationist both used as pejoratives so if you dared defend the president and and getting behind him and and charlie i hope i'm not sharing some stuff out of school here but you know you were very clear you were going to support the president's decision if he chose to move i don't know that you were you were not enthusiastic about any american involvement you were not i was very cautious i was very cautious very cautious you were very cautious but you said i think both publicly and privately i will defend you if you move right and

00:27:41.000 and i mean that's essentially what it was i you've earned my trust you've had my back i'm gonna have yours i hope this all ends well right and so you know i don't think of that as being a warmonger or as a as a as a dove an isolationist and essentially there are shades of gray there's nuance here obviously everybody in this in this show jack i know you got something breaking here but everybody in the show wants to avoid quagmires and we want to focus on mass deportations like that's everybody on this show that's what we want but

00:28:11.000 sometimes life comes at you quick and you got to be ready to deal with it jack what's up well so i do have this and this is out of uh my former colleague trey yingst and he just got it right here president trump spoke with qatar's emir informed him that the u.s got israel to agree to a ceasefire the president asked qatar to help persuade iran following that the vice president vice president vance coordinated directly with qatar's prime minister on the details this effort proved successful and following discussion with qatari pm the iranians agreed so

00:28:41.000 it was israel first then it was between so the president uh president trump asked qatar then vance and qatar's prime minister worked directly on the details so again to charlie's point about this is why we have the open door there with the Qataris the deal was then coordinated at the highest level with the president and the vice president the Qatari emir and the prime minister here's the quote despite having been just this is the Qataris quote right despite having been just attacked a few hours earlier the Qataris have set aside their grievances

00:29:11.000 and prioritized regional security to get the deal done and as we've all said a number of times this week blessed are the peacemakers blessed are the peacemakers amen hey I've been saying that all week and President Trump is blessed for trying to get to a place of reconciliation and for peace there's a lot more boy I if you wanted ratings I could tell you a lot more of the backstory that happened this last week but I don't I don't share or leak stuff that's not what I do but

00:29:41.000 I will tell I will say this and Andrew to your point I told the president and his team if you guys do this we will have your back because I trust your judgment and I said that both publicly and privately because that's what you get out of here on this program what I say publicly I also say privately and vice versa this is a nice T up here 379 this is the left wing spin the left wing spin is now all of a sudden they want to impeach Donald Trump for bombing Iran now how are they going to possibly do this he is brokering peace in the Middle East in a way we've never seen before play cut

00:30:12.000 379 I have worked in an administration that has had to communicate um you know I was in the Biden administration in the first year when the president made the decision to pull out of Afghanistan and I think you can tell a lot about the administration's actions from how they are communicating outwardly about it what do these comments today and also yet of this weekend from the vice president secretary of state right secretary of defense what do these comments tell you about the strategy um that the administration is

00:30:42.000 employing here or or is there one at all yo they're making it up simon as they go along well okay so so jack what do they mean they're making it up first of all we have a peace deal i'm gonna go through the no's okay no more war no boots on the ground no regime change no endless war no aid to the persian rebels and no nuclear weapons for iran jack those six big no's i just said is a dream please respond msnbc

00:31:13.000 here well i mean they're sitting up there and and if i miss my guess they're they're trying to compare this to like what biden was doing in afghanistan and the pullout and all the rest of it and it's it's it's it's ridiculous what they're doing here and it's gross it's it's just absolutely gross and so what we're what we're talking about is a president who's putting american lives first that's absolutely correct american treasure first i don't see any pallets of cash being sent over to tehran i

00:31:43.000 didn't see any uh you know any of this capitulation and the jigpoa and all these different things by the way this opens the door right because iran has now shown rationality so they've and this this is clear by the way so iran has shown rationality and that opens the door so if we're talking about the foot in the door tactic now the upsell here is a broader nuclear deal for iran to perhaps keep this off the shelf completely uh a broader peace deal perhaps normalization at least

00:32:13.000 stabilization within the region this opens the door for so many things that none of these talking heads saw going on and by the way it's not you know it's not the taliban being given nine billion dollars of american equipment the same way that joe biden left them and by the way general milley left them i uh i was there actually charlie it was at a a i believe was a turning point action reception where president trump talked about that and he uh he had some choice words for 0.80

00:32:43.000 for general milley that have gone quite viral since uh since that day down there at uh Mar-a-Lago talking about this, because this shows the difference between a president who's an idiot and a president who knows how to achieve the commander's desired end state.

00:32:59.000 So now I want to throw it to Blake here.

00:33:01.000 Blake, you're kind of our historical mastermind here.

00:33:04.000 Blake, can you summarize the roller coaster in the context of five years of Iran and Trump, from the drone to Soleimani to the Iranian nuclear deal to assassination threats to bombing nukes, bombing nuclear sites to now a peace deal?

00:33:19.000 Blake, this is a roller coaster likes of which we've never seen between Persia and the United States.

00:33:23.000 It really is, Charlie.

00:33:26.000 I think if you, hopefully when all is said and done, we'll look back on this as the Trump experience, the Trump tactics, the Trump strategy at its best, at its most successful.

00:33:39.000 And I think we can all freely admit, it can be pretty stressful to go through the same way riding a roller coaster can be stressful.

00:33:46.000 As you say, you say everything very publicly what you're going to do.

00:33:50.000 President Trump is a little different.

00:33:51.000 President Trump, he is a businessman who's used to negotiation, who's used to having a public face as well as private intentions.

00:34:00.000 So President Trump is the kind of guy who can do things like say, I'm giving you two weeks, but actually I've already decided to hit you tomorrow.

00:34:08.000 He can say, I'm willing to go as much as it takes, willing to do anything.

00:34:12.000 I'm willing to overthrow your government because actually I want you to just come to the table so we can get this done.

00:34:18.000 And we've seen this now over nearly a decade.

00:34:22.000 President Trump said on his first day running for office that he hated the Iraq war and he didn't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

00:34:31.000 And I think that is where he was at his most clear-cut, his most honest, his most like his, it was the best guide to everything that's happened since.

00:34:41.000 And since then, it's been the ride.

00:34:43.000 So we had Iran shot down one of our drones and there were people who wanted major strikes on Iran over this.

00:34:50.000 And Trump seemed like he might be open to this.

00:34:52.000 And then he dialed it back and he said, we don't need to do this.

00:34:56.000 Then we had Soleimani.

00:34:58.000 They were getting overly aggressive in the whole Syria, Lebanon area.

00:35:02.000 He said, you know what?

00:35:03.000 We can show them we mean business. 0.69

00:35:04.000 Blow up their guy. 0.95

00:35:05.000 Boom. 0.92

00:35:05.000 Blows him up. 0.92

00:35:06.000 I believe he was in Iraq when it happened.

00:35:09.000 And then he took the rocket volley in response to that.

00:35:14.000 And there was a lot of pressure.

00:35:15.000 Oh, you got to escalate further.

00:35:16.000 And he said, nope, we don't need to do that.

00:35:19.000 They shot their shot.

00:35:21.000 Wasn't a big deal.

00:35:22.000 We can move on.

00:35:24.000 And this is the highest stakes version of that.

00:35:26.000 He said, Iran, you have two months to make a deal with us. 0.85

00:35:32.000 And if not, something bad will happen.

00:35:34.000 Those two months passed, and they called President Trump's bluff.

00:35:39.000 So he allowed Israel to start a war. 0.55

00:35:41.000 And then he followed up himself with strikes.

00:35:44.000 And he even signaled, oh, maybe it's time for us to do regime change in Iran.

00:35:49.000 But now we're seeing the other end of it.

00:35:51.000 He's actually still exactly where he was in 2015.

00:35:55.000 I am ready to make a deal.

00:35:57.000 My main priority is don't let you get a nuclear bomb.

00:36:01.000 And other than that, I don't want an Iraq war. 0.91

00:36:03.000 I am perfectly fine stepping away.

00:36:06.000 It's stressful.

00:36:07.000 We've always wondered where he's going one direction or the other.

00:36:10.000 But in the end, we've gotten to a place that seems very good for America.

00:36:15.000 Amen.

00:36:16.000 Blake, that was well said.

00:36:20.000 You know, one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, especially when it comes to crypto.

00:36:26.000 But the truth, most of these so-called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise, fully capable of freezing your assets the moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call.

00:36:35.000 That is not what Bitcoin was built for.

00:36:37.000 That's why I use Bitcoin.com.

00:36:39.000 I just did a major transaction on it.

00:36:41.000 They offer a self-custodial wallet, which means you hold the keys.

00:36:45.000 You control your assets.

00:36:46.000 No one can touch your crypto, not the IRS or not a rogue bank, not some three-letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do.

00:36:54.000 This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin.

00:36:57.000 Peer-to-peer money, free from centralized control, free from surveillance, and free from arbitrary seizure.

00:37:03.000 So if you're serious about financial sovereignty, go to Bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control, because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money.

00:37:11.000 Bitcoin.com, freedom starts here.

00:37:15.000 I want to throw to Senator Mullen from Oklahoma.

00:37:18.000 First of all, Senator Mullen, congratulations on the thunder winning the NBA finals.

00:37:22.000 We're not here to talk about that, but I'm sure your family's happy about it.

00:37:25.000 So now you get to celebrate an NBA Finals victory.

00:37:27.000 Most importantly, peace in the Middle East.

00:37:29.000 Senator Mullen, we've been saying, trust President Trump this whole time.

00:37:32.000 This is historic.

00:37:33.000 No troops on the ground, no regime change, no U.S. force having to go into some permanent quagmire and no nukes for Iran.

00:37:40.000 Senator Mullen, your reaction.

00:37:41.000 Yeah, you know, this is, as the president is saying, this is the 12-day war.

00:37:45.000 This is exactly what peace through strength looks like.

00:37:48.000 When you're able to use strength in a decisive way, you're able to declare what victory looks like before you even use strength.

00:37:56.000 You're able to also declare the terms of, I wouldn't say surrender, but the terms of de-escalation.

00:38:06.000 And that's exactly what took place here.

00:38:09.000 The president positioned himself through deterrence.

00:38:12.000 He had the assets in the area to be able to deliver on what needed to be done.

00:38:18.000 He delivered on those assets precisely.

00:38:22.000 And then he had enough restraint, even when the Ayatollah, which we knew they had to say something, shot back at us, they had enough fear of President Trump and his leadership that they actually gave us a heads up that, hey, this is what we're going to do.

00:38:40.000 Just understand it's coming, and then we're probably in a good spot.

00:38:43.000 And the president immediately responded by saying, appreciate the heads up.

00:38:47.000 Appreciate the war is over.

00:38:50.000 And we look forward to hopefully having good relationships with you moving forward and leave it up to the Iranian people if they want regime change.

00:38:59.000 That's what leadership looks like when President Trump is pulled off.

00:39:02.000 Amen.

00:39:03.000 I know your time is limited here, Senator Mullen, but just final question here.

00:39:07.000 How does this, if at all, impact the big, beautiful bill?

00:39:10.000 We need unity from the Republican Party.

00:39:11.000 We need no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:39:14.000 We need Trump tax cuts, border security, golden dome.

00:39:17.000 How does this impact the big, beautiful bill, if at all?

00:39:20.000 Narrative reset.

00:39:21.000 We should see unity in the Republican Party.

00:39:22.000 Please, Senator.

00:39:23.000 Yeah, it doesn't affect us at all.

00:39:26.000 We are moving forward.

00:39:28.000 In fact, I just stepped out of an hour and a half long conference with the Republican senators.

00:39:36.000 Before that, I was in a meeting with leadership for an hour discussing a path forward.

00:39:41.000 I think we're in a very good spot.

00:39:42.000 Hopefully, we could possibly see text and culture on this by Wednesday, Thursday, and could even possibly start voting in Votarama as early as Friday.

00:39:57.000 So we're on track to move forward.

00:40:00.000 There's a lot of people in the room, Charlie, that's got a lot of ideas still.

00:40:04.000 We respect those ideas.

00:40:06.000 They want to make the bill better, and we all do, but we can't allow perfection to get in the way of good because the fact is when this bill comes to the floor, you're going to have two options.

00:40:16.000 A, vote to move forward with the Trump-era policies, or B, you vote no and say, hey, I prefer to stay with Biden policies.

00:40:23.000 That's not a good place for any Republican to be.

00:40:25.000 Senator, you're doing a great job.

00:40:26.000 You are the Senate House liaison.

00:40:28.000 So when you speak about this, it really matters.

00:40:30.000 Senator, come back when you have more time.

00:40:31.000 Thank you so much, and congratulations to the world and to the people of Oklahoma.

00:40:34.000 Thank you so much.

00:40:35.000 Thank you, sir.

00:40:36.000 Okay, I want to throw back here.

00:40:37.000 I want everyone, I want to hear from you, freedom at charliekirk.com, but I think this is an important theme, everybody, because this will not be the last trial.

00:40:43.000 I've been through this for 10 years.

00:40:44.000 Andrew, how many times did I tell you, I was like, guys, I've been through this for 10 years.

00:40:48.000 I've seen this cycle play out, and it always ends up okay, and it goes up and it goes down, and it's just kind of like, okay, what's going on here?

00:40:55.000 We're going right to the brink.

00:40:57.000 Actually, I don't know if we still have Andrew because we had Senator Mullen.

00:41:00.000 We might throw him back here, but we do.

00:41:02.000 But what are the lessons here for everybody that doubted President Trump, for everyone that didn't trust President Trump?

00:41:08.000 What are the lessons here that people need to derive, which is that maybe when you read truth socials, there might be something else going on?

00:41:15.000 And has this man not earned your trust yet, Andrew?

00:41:18.000 Yeah, I think about two things, tariffs and the Iran strikes.

00:41:24.000 Those are really the two moments where this trust in the president has been stressed, where even some of the base, even some of his supporters start screaming.

00:41:35.000 The Pannequins, if you will.

00:41:37.000 Jack is the king of the Panikin shutdown.

00:41:40.000 So I won't steal your Panikin thunder here, Jack. 1.00

00:41:44.000 But those are the two moments of this Trump 2.0 where I'm like, listen, it's worked out both times.

00:41:52.000 It's worked out both times.

00:41:54.000 And we pray this holds.

00:41:57.000 I mean, there's still a part of me in the back of my mind that's kind of waiting for the next, you know, the six-hour mark, the 12-hour mark.

00:42:04.000 But yeah, I mean, Trump, once again, I go back to this idea that you have to let Trump sort of defy your expectations to get to the point that we want to get to.

00:42:17.000 He has to sometimes stretch the limits of what everybody's comfortable with.

00:42:21.000 And, you know, everybody thinks they've got Trump figured out.

00:42:24.000 They go, this is how Trump does it.

00:42:25.000 He does this.

00:42:26.000 And then he does it.

00:42:27.000 And then as soon as you think you've got the formula figured out, he scrambles the formula again.

00:42:32.000 And everybody freaks out again, like, we've never done this.

00:42:35.000 And then at the end of the day, we wrap up exactly where we all hoped we would.

00:42:39.000 I just want to know, I think this is all.

00:42:41.000 No, Jack, let's go to Jack.

00:42:42.000 Jack, go ahead.

00:42:43.000 And then we'll go to the next one.

00:42:43.000 I was going to say, I just want to know, you know, and for the Human Events Daily audience out there, has anyone done a wellness check on Lindsey Graham?

00:42:52.000 Has anyone, I think he's in D.C. He might be down in South Carolina.

00:42:56.000 I just want to make sure, is Lindsey Graham going to be all right?

00:42:58.000 You know, I'm concerned about him as an elected official of our nation.

00:43:02.000 I want to make sure that the people of South Carolina are well represented.

00:43:06.000 Does anyone want to do a wellness check on him or the other neocon warmongers out there who were foaming at the mouth?

00:43:15.000 There were people out there who were calling, go all the way, Mr. President, go all the way, go all the way to Tehran, take them all out, wipe this out, with no plan whatsoever.

00:43:25.000 They don't even know the ethnic makeup of the country.

00:43:27.000 They don't even know the size of the country, the population.

00:43:30.000 They have no plan whatsoever for what would come next.

00:43:33.000 And they just kept demanding more and more and more.

00:43:35.000 And President Trump has very smartly shut them all down.

00:43:40.000 Shut them down decisively and quickly.

00:43:43.000 Blake, I want to ask you here.

00:43:44.000 I'm trying to remember my question.

00:43:45.000 It was a really good question too.

00:43:47.000 But Blake, we kind of go through that saga.

00:43:49.000 How would you historically categorize President Trump's foreign policy?

00:43:53.000 And can we now just kind of shed ourselves of the isolationist interventionist binary?

00:44:00.000 Love him or hate him, but President Trump has definitely created a third way.

00:44:05.000 He has created a new path where he is not a dove, but he's willing to use short, violent force.

00:44:11.000 And then a more provocative question for you, Blake.

00:44:13.000 Blake, are we entering an age of the end of long wars?

00:44:17.000 You might say, no, Charlie, look at Israel and Gaza. 0.73

00:44:19.000 That's long.

00:44:20.000 Or Russia, Ukraine.

00:44:21.000 But as long from an American standpoint, will America fight another long war under President Trump?

00:44:28.000 I'm just asking, I'm thinking out loud here because it seems like the appetite for long wars is not strong here in the United States.

00:44:34.000 Your thoughts, Blake?

00:44:35.000 Well, I don't want us to jump to too many conclusions on it.

00:44:38.000 First of all, President Trump's term is not over.

00:44:41.000 You never want to just declare anything official or done or complete as long as there's still history yet to be written.

00:44:49.000 And there still is history yet to be written for the Trump presidency.

00:44:53.000 But I do think we can say that what Trump has been doing is a huge historical break from especially the norm that has existed in the post-Cold War era.

00:45:08.000 That's kind of when you can say the modern phase of American history began.

00:45:11.000 The Cold War ended, and we had Clinton, Bush, Obama, and then also sort of Biden in between the two Trump terms.

00:45:19.000 And what that era was defined by was a few things.

00:45:22.000 It was defined by, as you said, long wars, because America would get committed to...

00:45:33.000 It was America was trying, it was on the operating on the assumption that the end of history had arrived and therefore it could bend.

00:45:41.000 Everywhere in the world was progressing towards this end state and we could drag them to it.

00:45:47.000 It was America as a quasi-globalist entity because we sort of equated globalist values with American values.

00:45:55.000 And so that's what you got.

00:45:56.000 You got American troops going on these long humanitarian interventions with no end mission, with no real military objective.

00:46:05.000 We got open-ended forever wars in the Middle East.

00:46:08.000 We got this assumption of unlimited American power that caused us to recklessly race into things.

00:46:14.000 And so that's how we got Afghanistan and trillions of dollars spent, thousands dead, no good result.

00:46:20.000 Iraq, trillions spent, thousands dead, a mediocre at best result.

00:46:25.000 We got interventions in Libya where the idea was we have good intentions and that can make up for having no serious plan, no easy way to make this a good outcome, and we can ignore all of the bad outcomes that happen instead.

00:46:39.000 President Trump has thrown out all the assumptions that drove that.

00:46:43.000 And instead, what we've gotten is a return to a more old-fashioned way of doing things for America, which is when you do a military intervention, there should be a goal in mind.

00:46:55.000 If it's going badly, back away quickly.

00:46:58.000 But ideally, you're just not going to let it go badly.

00:47:01.000 And that is a way America used to do things.

00:47:04.000 Even relative idealists like Woodrow Wilson, who's overall a pretty globalist guy, he would do things like, oh, there's stuff going on in Mexico.

00:47:12.000 Send troops to Mexico. 0.83

00:47:13.000 And then, oh, it gets bad.

00:47:14.000 Get out.

00:47:14.000 We don't need to stick around forever.

00:47:18.000 It's a willingness to behave.

00:47:20.000 It's an underrated way to behave like a businessman because businessmen do not commit indefinitely to something that is going to lose them money.

00:47:29.000 They want to get value for what they do.

00:47:32.000 Blake, exactly right.

00:47:34.000 And this is the MAGA doctrine on full display.

00:47:36.000 Also, just as a fun personal note, right now we are the third largest podcast on all podcasts in Apple News.

00:47:43.000 We just got above, we just surpassed Call Her Daddy.

00:47:48.000 Do people really watch that?

00:47:49.000 Call Her Daddy. 0.80

00:47:50.000 We are behind Devil in the Desert, whatever that is, and the New York Times Daily.

00:47:55.000 So if you guys subscribe to our podcast, all of us together subscribe to the podcast.

00:47:59.000 We're doing a bunch of giveaways, by the way.

00:48:00.000 We've given out a bunch of hats and a bunch of books.

00:48:02.000 You still might be able to win a hat if you email to us, but most importantly, we could beat the New York Times together, which would be just an amazing signal.

00:48:09.000 So, Jack, I want you to plug all of your stuff, but Jack, can you also remind the audience they might see some reports that there are ongoing airstrikes?

00:48:16.000 However, that's within the 12-hour timeframe.

00:48:18.000 This is a little confusing for people.

00:48:20.000 Right, and so can you do that and also plug your stuff, Jack?

00:48:22.000 Just kind of explain it.

00:48:39.000 Apple Spotify, where you'll get your podcast.

00:48:41.000 By the way, Charlie, of those other podcasts, New York Times Daily and Call Her Daddy, I've been on one of them, but not the other.

00:48:48.000 But I'm going to leave it to the audience to guess which it was.

00:48:52.000 As far as the date.

00:48:53.000 Which one was it?

00:48:55.000 No, no, not saying.

00:48:56.000 Not saying.

00:48:57.000 It was one of them.

00:48:59.000 Multiple times, by the way.

00:49:02.000 The strikes that we're seeing.

00:49:04.000 So we're seeing some stuff now.

00:49:05.000 Strikes are hitting in Iran, in Tehran.

00:49:08.000 We also saw, I mentioned earlier there were some strikes on Baghdad.

00:49:11.000 It looks like those were on Iranian proxies.

00:49:13.000 So I would guess that would be Israel. 0.83

00:49:16.000 Their drones, we're told, are hitting Iranian proxies right now.

00:49:19.000 Look, this is the reason that President Trump put out, and we walked you through this, this timeframe of the ceasefire, that it's going to be a phased ceasefire.

00:49:28.000 Because look, when you're running military operations like this, communications are what they are.

00:49:33.000 Ceasefire, I love that.

00:49:34.000 Keep going.

00:49:34.000 That's great.

00:49:35.000 Information.

00:49:36.000 And there's even stories about one of the biggest Revolutionary War battles that were fought even after Yorktown took place.

00:49:43.000 So communications do break down after war, you know, in wartime.

00:49:48.000 And look, if you've got fighters up, if you've got assets out in the ground, some of these operate without communication.

00:49:54.000 So of course the enemy can't track them.

00:49:56.000 But then that also means you don't get the ability to run down to them and say, hey, guys, by the way, call it off.

00:50:01.000 And so I would expect to see more strikes from potentially both sides.

00:50:05.000 Now, interestingly enough, the Iranians would have an easier way of stopping their strikes because their strikes are predominantly missile-based. 0.81

00:50:14.000 And so presumably the commanders are in direct communication with Tehran.

00:50:18.000 Whereas with Israel, you've got fighters, you've got Mossad, you've got drones, you've got all sorts of other stuff going on.

00:50:23.000 So it might be harder for them to be able to call it off.

00:50:25.000 That may be the reason that we saw the phase in the ceasefire for President Trump's tweet.

00:50:29.000 But either way, expect a few more attacks like this tonight.

00:50:34.000 And then really tomorrow is what we're looking for to see if this ceasefire holds.

00:50:38.000 And so a phased ceasefire is a smart and understandable way to put that.

00:51:54.000 I want to just spend a couple more minutes here before we conclude, and I want to hear your thoughts, Freedom, at CharlieKirk.com.

00:52:00.000 I want to just play the amazing messaging of J.D. Vance, but let's contrast this.

00:52:04.000 First, this is Lindsey Grant on the Senate floor calling for regime change.

00:52:08.000 President Donald Trump rejected the neocon interventionist nation builder.

00:52:13.000 No nation building, no troops on the ground, no U.S. troops killed, and no nukes for Iran. 0.85

00:52:18.000 It's an amazing masterclass that he's put on.

00:52:21.000 Let's play Cut 382.

00:52:23.000 It's about a religious agenda.

00:52:25.000 Why do they do what they do?

00:52:28.000 Religious, fanatical beliefs. 1.00

00:52:34.000 A master religion for the world.

00:52:38.000 And if you don't believe that, you have missed a lot.

00:52:41.000 That's what they want.

00:52:43.000 And the only way they're not going to get there is for somebody to stop them.

00:52:47.000 What did Hitler want? 0.87

00:52:49.000 To take over the entire world and create a master race. 1.00

00:52:55.000 Anybody that didn't fit his definition of the right kind of person was imprisoned or killed.

00:53:04.000 The Aito and his henchmen have that same view, but it's religiously driven.

00:53:10.000 Not everything is comparable to Hitler, but yes, the Iranian regime is very bad. 1.00

00:53:14.000 Here is J.D. Vance.

00:53:15.000 Look at the contrast between him and J.D. Vance, just night and day.

00:53:18.000 JD is just extraordinary right now.

00:53:20.000 Play cut 375.

00:53:22.000 Iranians, I think this is a new opportunity to actually pursue the path of peace.

00:53:26.000 As I said yesterday, what the Iranians have showed through their support of terror networks, through their now failed effort to build a nuclear weapon, is that they're just not very good at war. 0.72

00:53:36.000 And I think the president really hit the reset button and said, look, let's actually produce long-term peace for the region.

00:53:43.000 That's always been his goal.

00:53:44.000 I actually think when we look back, we will say the 12-day war was an important reset moment for the entire region.

00:53:50.000 A reset for the entire region.

00:53:54.000 We're going to see what everybody wants in this situation.

00:53:57.000 And I think that peace is going to prevail only through American strength.

00:54:01.000 Do we have another J.D. Vance clip?

00:54:03.000 I think we do.

00:54:04.000 I think we have another J.D. Vance one that we can play here, if I'm not mistaken.

00:54:09.000 Let's play 374, please.

00:54:11.000 He talked about the next six hours finalizing the attacks.

00:54:14.000 I mean, I think what he's talking about is right now, for the American people watching, it's dark over there.

00:54:20.000 That's typically when the Israelis and the Iranians have been shooting at each other. 0.98

00:54:23.000 I think there's some recognition that that might continue for another few hours.

00:54:27.000 And tomorrow really is a new day.

00:54:28.000 The end of the 12-day war, the end of the Iranian nuclear program.

00:54:31.000 And I really do believe the beginning of something very big for peace in the Middle East.

00:54:36.000 I mean, J.D. Vance is looking more and more like someone who's going to be a phenomenal president sometime in his future.

00:54:41.000 One more excellent one.

00:54:42.000 Let's play Cut 376.

00:54:44.000 What the President is saying very clearly, Brett, is if the Iranian people want to do something about their own leadership, that's up to the Iranian people.

00:54:51.000 What the American national security interest here is very simple.

00:54:55.000 It's to destroy the nuclear program.

00:54:56.000 That's what we've done.

00:54:58.000 And now that the 12-day war appears to be effectively over, we have an opportunity, I think, to restart a real peace process.

00:55:05.000 To restart a real peace process.

00:55:07.000 So let me ask Andrew here.

00:55:08.000 Andrew, what is the way that we now keep the coalition together?

00:55:11.000 Andrew, you have some great insight here.

00:55:13.000 People have gotten very heated.

00:55:14.000 I think we should also, A, keep expectations in check that Iran has been very bad actor, but this is a win. 1.00

00:55:21.000 Let's make no mistake.

00:55:21.000 This is a win, everybody.

00:55:22.000 No U.S. troops dead.

00:55:24.000 Nuclear program severely diminished and damaged.

00:55:26.000 Also, no boots on the ground, no regime change, no nation building.

00:55:31.000 But Andrew, what do we have to do to keep the coalition together, to keep what we have built?

00:55:37.000 Young people, muscular class, moms, parents, first-time voters, traditional conservatives, more hawks.

00:55:44.000 What now, now that we have a ceasefire, how do we get a MAGA movement ceasefire?

00:55:49.000 Yeah, I think a couple lessons learned, Charlie, over the years is, first of all, we have to avoid putting purity tests on people that should be our friends that maybe stepped a little out of line in the last week.

00:56:03.000 We need to be, to a certain extent, we need to welcome those people back.

00:56:07.000 If it was just, those are passionate moments, we get it.

00:56:10.000 But once again, Trump is going to push you.

00:56:12.000 He's going to stretch you.

00:56:13.000 He's going to put you in uncomfortable positions.

00:56:15.000 This is not a straight line between here and there and where we want to go.

00:56:18.000 So just remember that.

00:56:19.000 Next time this happens, maybe don't press the panic button so soon, first of all.

00:56:24.000 But be gracious.

00:56:26.000 Let's bring the coalition back together.

00:56:28.000 We also have this Maha coalition.

00:56:30.000 I know, assuming this peace deal holds, we're going to be putting a lot of focus and attention on mass deportations, the big, beautiful bill to get the resources for those mass deportations, but also Maha.

00:56:42.000 All the attention that this group deserves, the Maha moms, that's a really big part of our coalition.

00:56:50.000 I was talking with Rich Barris this morning.

00:56:52.000 He's going to be coming out with a poll.

00:56:54.000 It might be dated now, given that this peace deal has come up.

00:56:57.000 But, you know, he's seen some drop off on younger voters that are disappointed in the fact that President Trump struck Iran.

00:57:03.000 Hopefully we're going to be able to bring them back.

00:57:05.000 We've got some great talking points, Charlie, that it was some of these things that probably resulted in peace.

00:57:12.000 You didn't like it in the moment, but now in retrospect, you see the wisdom of some of the actions President Trump was taking.

00:57:18.000 So let's just hope that these memories can be shortened, that people's nerves that were frayed, you know, everybody calms down.

00:57:28.000 Charlie, I can't wait for your fall campus tour.

00:57:31.000 If anybody challenge you on this, you're going to be able to say, hey, look at, you maybe didn't like that tweet about regime change, but maybe that was the tweet that actually forced them to accept the peace deal from Qatar, you know?

00:57:45.000 So there is plenty of meat on our base.

00:57:49.000 By the way, can we just repeat that?

00:57:52.000 President Trump tweeting about regime change the day before got some people fired up, understandably, but maybe that is all of a sudden what got Iran a little bit worried.

00:57:59.000 That, hey, does this, for this guy's going to go for the head of the snake, maybe we just do a little bit of theatrics.

00:58:03.000 Can you build that out a little bit more, Andrew?

00:58:05.000 No, remember, Charlie, he said in that one truth, he said, I know exactly where the supreme leader is.

00:58:11.000 He's in hiding, but it's not, you know, he's not hidden from us.

00:58:14.000 We know exactly where he is.

00:58:16.000 We're not going to take, he's safe for now, for now.

00:58:19.000 And then he strikes, hits the three nuclear sites.

00:58:23.000 And listen, there might be open questions about how degraded their nuclear capacity is.

00:58:28.000 I share that skepticism.

00:58:30.000 I tend to believe that there is still some capacity there in Iran.

00:58:36.000 But hopefully, this is a turning of the page.

00:58:38.000 The confrontation, the coming to the head has happened, and the Supreme Leader understands he's against the ropes.

00:58:45.000 Remember, there is wargaming going on, the likes of which we're not aware of, right?

00:58:50.000 They probably have an exact count or a precise count of how many short-range, mid-range, and long-range ballistic missiles around had left.

00:58:58.000 Israel probably is doing the same calculations with the Iron Dome.

00:59:02.000 These are two fighters that we don't know what round of the fight that they both thought they were in.

00:59:06.000 Were they in the third round or were they in the 12th round and both of them were ready to cry, uncle?

00:59:10.000 President Trump probably had a lot of that information and knew that he could get both parties to the table.

00:59:17.000 He played it the way he played it.

00:59:18.000 It turned out he played it right.

00:59:20.000 And so, you know, I think that there is a real chance, and we should all pray for that, that we could see a turning of the page, an end of one chapter, the beginning of a better chapter with our relations with Iran.

00:59:32.000 I think that's completely on the table at this point.

00:59:34.000 Yeah, and so, and let's just, and also, Andrew, if the people of Persia decide to organically rise up, then that's something that we'll cheer for.

00:59:43.000 That's something that we're going to cheer on, right?

00:59:45.000 That's a great point.

00:59:46.000 And to the people that say there's been moving of the goalposts, this is what I want to say.

00:59:50.000 We have always been against regime change, top-down regime change.

00:59:55.000 We have always been pro if the Iranian people want to do it from the bottom up. 0.98

00:59:59.000 But what we did not want, and I think Jack, you and I talked about this, we did not want, you know, a 2014, you know, made on coup repeat where the CIA was embedded and sowing discord.

01:00:12.000 We did not want a repeat of Libya. 1.00

01:00:14.000 We did not want a repeat of Iraq. 1.00

01:00:18.000 Or by the way, a repeat of the last time the United States pushed for change in Iran back in the 1950s when we overthrew the Democratic Republic that Iran had been working towards and Mosedeg because he was nationalizing British petroleum and nationalizing the oil, the oil fields there when the United States of America overthrew the last Democratic.

01:00:49.000 I said, who overthrew the democracy in Iran, Lindsay?

01:00:52.000 You seem to be loosening up that part.

01:00:54.000 And in fact, the CIA has even publicly acknowledged this, that it was us who overthrew the Prime Minister Mossadegh in the 1950s.

01:01:03.000 We installed the Shah. 0.99

01:01:05.000 Then this is, and by the way, I'm not justifying anything that the Iranian regime has done. 0.99

01:01:10.000 I'm just telling the truth, okay, that telling the truth that it was because of that that the Iranian people said we're sick of this crap. 0.91

01:01:17.000 And then they turned to the nut jobs that eventually formed the Islamic Republic and led to the revolt in 1979. 0.96

01:01:25.000 So just tell the truth, Lindsay.

01:01:26.000 Just be honest, but you can't.

01:01:29.000 You just can't.

01:01:31.000 And again, we have a little bit more time, and then we have to dash.

01:01:36.000 And I want to have you guys email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

01:01:39.000 The politics of this, guys, is either people didn't trust President Trump, they didn't trust their own instincts.

01:01:45.000 And President Donald Trump has now just said, quote, this is the end of the war.

01:01:50.000 It is great and a wonderful thing for Israel and for the world.

01:01:55.000 So there you have it, guys.

01:01:56.000 President Donald Trump is saying it is the end of the war.

01:01:59.000 This is the stuff that Nobel Prizes are made of.

01:02:01.000 I know, Blake, you might cringe.

01:02:03.000 Blake is a little contrarian.

01:02:04.000 I like it.

01:02:05.000 But Blake, if they gave a Nobel Prize to Obama, would this not merit it?

01:02:10.000 I mean, I'm just saying, a lot of people are saying it, Blake.

01:02:14.000 A lot of people are saying it's saying it's going to get a real peace deal out of it, like long term, I'd say go for it.

01:02:21.000 Yeah, why not?

01:02:23.000 They'll give heaven and earth to you.

01:02:24.000 We'll take it, though.

01:02:25.000 They'd give it to Rubio or something like that.

01:02:28.000 But he would certainly deserve it more than...

01:02:36.000 They gave one to Al Gore. 1.00

01:02:38.000 I think we've all memory hold that one because Obama's even dumber. 0.98

01:02:42.000 They gave it to Al Gore for glow for winning stuff. 1.00

01:02:46.000 There have been some dumb ones. 0.93

01:02:49.000 The amount that we've been lied to over the years is truly shocking. 0.99

01:02:53.000 That somehow we lifted up Al Gore as a beacon of truth and progress.

01:02:59.000 It's just, it's shocking.

01:03:00.000 Go ahead, Blake.

01:03:01.000 I'm sorry.

01:03:01.000 You've just blown my mind.

01:03:03.000 It's just, there's so much. 0.97

01:03:05.000 It's very funny we still give the Nobel Peace Prize so much weight because there have been a lot of very dumb Nobel Peace Prizes out there. 0.69

01:03:15.000 So, but, you know, they don't give it enough for just very straightforward.

01:03:19.000 Like, what's the goal in Alfred Nobel's will?

01:03:22.000 And it was to improve harmony among nations and lead to reducing the size of standing armies, I think was the exact line.

01:03:30.000 And if we can achieve that out of this, if we can actually bring this 45-year conflict towards some sort of permanent resolution, that would be a huge win for hundreds and hundreds of millions of people.

01:03:45.000 And if we're able to achieve that before this administration is done, he absolutely should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

01:03:51.000 There it is.

01:03:51.000 I'll take it, Blake.

01:03:53.000 That was a resounding endorsement from Blake.

01:03:55.000 I mean, it's like you at like a four or five.

01:03:58.000 I mean, that's like an average man's 10 right there.

01:04:02.000 I'm going to take it.

01:04:02.000 Andrew, do you have a form you want to walk people through?

01:04:05.000 Oh, yes.

01:04:06.000 This is going around.

01:04:07.000 Okay, I just want to preface this by saying it's one thing to question.

01:04:12.000 Charlie, I think it's fair to say you, me, Jack, and Blake are on many chats where we question a lot.

01:04:18.000 Questioning is healthy.

01:04:19.000 It can be good.

01:04:20.000 Helps you think through the problems, the pitfalls, all those things.

01:04:24.000 It's a whole nother thing to doomer on a guy that's been riding with you for 10 years and you've gone up and down a thousand roller coasters.

01:04:32.000 And just, you know, because Israel is a part of the equation, you just completely go into brain rot mode. 1.00

01:04:39.000 So you can question, just don't go doomer mode.

01:04:42.000 That's the point.

01:04:42.000 So this form is going around on the internet right now and it's called a Donald Trump apology form.

01:04:48.000 And it says to Donald Trump from, fill in your name, date it, probably today, reason for behavior.

01:04:55.000 We all know people that should be filling that out.

01:04:57.000 Yeah, right.

01:04:58.000 The media tricked me into believing their lies.

01:05:01.000 I was jealous of Trump's aura.

01:05:04.000 My simping for a boy, girl, Trump hater convinced me.

01:05:08.000 I didn't listen to his actual speeches.

01:05:11.000 I don't know how politics work.

01:05:13.000 Trump said something mean and hurt my feelings.

01:05:16.000 And then it was, there's a checkbox that says, I will hereby trust the plan, stand with Donald J. Trump, and will not doubt the 45th and 47th president of the United States.

01:05:26.000 Pretty funny.

01:05:27.000 So that's the meme.

01:05:29.000 That's the meme.

01:05:30.000 Again, you can question.

01:05:31.000 It's okay to question.

01:05:32.000 Nobody's asking.

01:05:33.000 This is what pisses me off.

01:05:34.000 Sorry.

01:05:35.000 This is what frustrates me.

01:05:36.000 Apologies to our TV audience.

01:05:38.000 I can't stand it when people say that you're following some cult.

01:05:45.000 That's not what this is.

01:05:46.000 It's about understanding that we have a coalition and that we don't want to rip apart a winning coalition that delivered a popular vote victory in an electoral landslide.

01:05:56.000 And something Republicans, the popular vote, we hadn't won since 2004 with George W. Bush in the middle of a war that he started dumbly.

01:06:05.000 So the point is, this is a really precious thing that we have, and we respect how important and special it is, how historic it is.

01:06:15.000 And we don't want to rip it apart because people press the panic button.

01:06:19.000 We only have a couple minutes left.

01:06:20.000 Jack, make sure you replug your stuff here for the audience.

01:06:22.000 And Jack, how do we now make sure we bring the MAGA coalition to strength together?

01:06:27.000 What are five or six or whatever domestic wins that we need?

01:06:31.000 Is it deportations?

01:06:32.000 Is it Epstein files?

01:06:33.000 What do we need right now to focus on domestically?

01:06:37.000 Jack Pasobic.

01:06:38.000 Well, Charlotte, I think that's right.

01:06:39.000 And of course, folks can follow me.

01:06:41.000 Humanevents daily, Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts up.

01:06:46.000 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:06:48.000 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:06:51.000 Do you think that Trump had this all planned out all along?

01:06:55.000 Do you think this was in response to a secret deal that was made?

01:06:58.000 We want to get into all of it and we want to hear from you at 1776 at humanevents.com.

01:07:04.000 Charlie, when you talk about domestic agenda, that's exactly right.

01:07:06.000 Look, you mentioned deportations.

01:07:09.000 Absolutely.

01:07:09.000 Epstein files.

01:07:10.000 Absolutely.

01:07:11.000 By the way, how about perp walking some of the people that were working to overthrow our actual duly elected president back in 2016, 2017, the first term, going after that corruption, going after the election integrity issues, one of the things that I think a lot of people have wanted to address for a long, long time and just hasn't been able to get done.

01:07:34.000 Tim Dylan had a great segment on his show earlier this week that I caught where he was saying, look, guys, we didn't put people in office to just write novels.

01:07:43.000 We put people in office to get things done.

01:07:46.000 And that guy, you know, he wasn't like some Trump endorser, but he pointed out, he said, you can't just be up there talking about stuff.

01:07:52.000 You have to actually do things.

01:07:54.000 We're talking about various people that have come into power now.

01:07:59.000 And so President Trump clearly showing that he's putting action ahead of words.

01:08:05.000 You mentioned domestic policy again.

01:08:07.000 We have these tariff issues.

01:08:08.000 We have these trade deals.

01:08:09.000 We have all of the economic issues to look at.

01:08:12.000 President Trump, by the way, guys, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and funding for deportations.

01:08:19.000 That's in the Big Beautiful Bill, which by the way, Charlie, I'm told if it goes well, if it goes well, we could be seeing the Big Beautiful bill being passed before July 4th, which I remember, that was exactly when President Trump said it would be done.

01:08:33.000 I think that's great.

01:08:34.000 Also, there's, and I'm just going to say, because it's been raging sort of in the background of all of this here, there's this question.

01:08:42.000 Senator Mike Lee has this new addendum that he wants to put in, this amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill regarding the use of our public lands.

01:08:51.000 I know, guys, we've been chatting about getting into this issue on one of our thought crime episodes or as a debate, but that's something where I know has been absolutely raging.

01:09:00.000 So I'd love to see that put to rest as well.

01:09:03.000 And look, we're going to hear both sides.

01:09:05.000 I don't want my national parks being given over to some nameless, faceless corporation.

01:09:11.000 So I want to see what's going on.

01:09:13.000 I want to see the proof of the pudding before we put anything else into this bill.

01:09:17.000 But also, we've seen Senator Mike Lee, and he's been so supportive of us in the past.

01:09:22.000 So let's hear everybody out on this and put that to bed as well.

01:09:25.000 Ton of things on the domestic issue.

01:09:27.000 And by the way, these can all get done now because President Trump has just delivered for us on the foreign policy side.

01:09:32.000 Totally.

01:09:33.000 Big time.

01:09:34.000 And by the way, a lot of the guys that are more neoconservative on the Hill, they better vote for the Big Beautiful Bill.

01:09:38.000 They got what they wanted.

01:09:38.000 They always wanted Iranian nuclear sites to be destroyed forcibly, and it happens.

01:09:43.000 They got what they wanted, ended up being the right call for America, and President Trump was right all along.

01:09:47.000 One last thing, everybody, just as a favor, then we have to sign off.

01:09:49.000 Put 388 up on screen.

01:09:52.000 This is not Photoshopped, I promise you.

01:09:54.000 This is very real, even though the numbers are all screwed up.

01:09:56.000 Hold on.

01:09:57.000 The numbers are messed up.

01:09:58.000 That's the bad one to put up.

01:09:59.000 No, it's not Photoshopped, I promise.

01:10:01.000 Let me find another one.

01:10:02.000 Sometimes it does this on Apple Podcasts.

01:10:04.000 Let me do this.

01:10:04.000 Anyway, the point being, let me see.

01:10:06.000 Okay, this one's not.

01:10:07.000 This one, the numbers are right.

01:10:08.000 So anyway, just as a favor, altogether we could beat the New York Times then, everybody, if you guys subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
