Donald Trump looked absolutely awful. His hands were bandaged as he had an absolute disaster. Moments ago in the Oval Office, he proclaimed that he did a deal with Iran. It's over. That JD Vance and others would go to Europe to sign a peace deal. He said the stock he admits to market manipulation. The stock market loves it. The stock market loves it. Everybody, what a stunning admission. And he says, "We're done because the markets love what we're doing now." Anyway, here, play this clip.
>> Great settlement of the war with Iran and we're going to be uh subject to finalization of documents which should get done over the next few days. We probably have a signing maybe in Europe and uh it's a great thing. Stock market's up a,000 points. That means they like the deal. See, that means they the market goes down. That means they don't like the deal. But it's been up. Oil's dropped. Oil will start coming down to I think even lower than it was before. Okay. Then he lies and says, and look, the straight of horm moves, it's been open for months. Anyway, so we won months ago. We're now just juicing the market a little bit. Watch what he says. Essentially, let's play this clip. it's going to get signed and the straight is open. But the straits have been open for a number of months already and you just didn't know about it. You know, you as reporters were weren't able to get it. I just announced yesterday that we're bring that we brought a lot of ships through. Nobody knew about I guess we did a pretty good job, Peter, right? >> But we brought many many ships across and millions hundreds of millions of barrels of oil >> were brought were brought across, >> Mr. President. And there wasn't a thing that anybody could have done about that. >> So then a reporter said, "Well, you said before that Iran and the United States were close to a deal. So what's different about it now?" And he's like, "They took a pounding courageously. They took a pounding and now they want to make a deal because of what just went down." Okay, let's play it.
>> Matt, you have said before that Iran and the United States were close to a deal. It has not happened yet. Why are you so convinced that this time is different? >> Uh because they've taken a pounding. They've taken a pounding like very few people could take and they want to make the deal a lot more than I do. And uh we could have had it done the other way, I guess, but it would have taken longer. They uh they got hit very hard recently, as you know, and I don't like to have to do things that way, but I felt it was necessary. Uh it's a great deal for the United States and for the Middle East. And I think ultimately great for Iran because they'll be able to build up their country and other country. I really believe it's a regime change because I find these people to be much more rational than the All right. So what's your deadline for getting a deal done? No deadlines. No deadlines. Soon soon. No deadlines. But this is super real this time. Not like the 38 other times where I've done that. This one is for real because the markets love it. He says, let's play this clip. That's a great deal because they will never have a nuclear weapon. Mr. President, is there a specific amount of time that has to pass between this memorandum of understanding and a final deal being done? >> Well, we hope it's going to go relatively quickly, but it's >> either 60 or 90. >> I mean, the states are going to open immediately. It's fun signing. Maybe it'll be Saturday or Monday. >> Is there a deadline though to get from this to a final deal? >> Uh, we think it's going to go pretty quickly. I don't want to say a deadline because if I say a deadline, you'll say, "Oh, he didn't meet the deadline." You know, this is like it's not going to matter much because uh it's going to get signed and the straight is open. But the straits have been open. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said Iran has not yet reached a final decision on the agreement. The Ayatollah has not yet blessed this deal. Donald Trump then quickly goes on a teller rally for Bert Jones and then Trump's like, "We ended the war. I'm not sure you heard. We ended it today." This is like It's like one of the worst humiliation rituals the United States has been put through. Let me be clear. We should have ended this war a while ago. We should never have been in this catastrophic and unlawful war. And I'm glad we're getting out. But will you agree with me the level of humiliation this loser is putting this country through? This maniac has put us through. Let's play this clip.
>> Honor and country is doing really well. I don't know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon. Something that we we insisted on. That was the whole purpose. That was 95% of it. And uh they've done it in the most powerful way you can do it. So, I just want to thank everybody. >> Then he goes on to say, "And folks, the people will be coming home very soon." Let's play it.
>> Honor and the country is doing really well. I don't know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon. Something that we we insisted on. That was the whole purpose. That was 95% of it. And uh they've done it in the most powerful way you can do it. So, I just want to thank everybody. So then a reporter is like, "All right, enough of that. You said that this was a concept of an agreement. So is this a concept of a framework for a later negotiation or what are you even talking about?" And Donald's like, "It's a very strong memorandum of understanding. What does that even mean? It's a strong I've never heard of a memorandum of understanding being a strong and powerful." Well, let's play this clip.
Iran will in no way, shape or form have a nuclear weapon or purchase a nuclear weapon. But is this just a concept of that agreement when it comes to nuclear? You said this was just a concept of that agreement. So is this just essentially setting the stage for deeper talks on nuclear? >> It's a very strong memorandum of understanding that is a little conceptual, but it's something that's going to get done. And if it doesn't get done for any reason, which I can't imagine that not happening, they want to sign it as much as I do or more. I would say they want to sign it more maybe a lot more but it's a very detailed memorandum of understanding also agreed to by many other countries that have great influence over them and everybody wants it done so it's going to get done >> and then Howard Lutnik Howard Lutnik Donald Trump's bootlicker goes and guess what now that the war is over we shall eat fish. Fish made by us. Okay, let's play it.
>> This is a massive win for our fishermen, a massive win for our waterfront communities who process all these processors. And in the end, we are going to eat fish caught by us. What a shock. EATING FISH CAUGHT by us in our waters. And Trump's like, "But I want to let you know I turned off the lights in the straight and I got the ships. 25 21 16 14." Who remembers such numbers? These are numbers. 22 17 12. Hoot hike. Okay, here. Play this clip.
>> We've been uh taking out ships, big ships, quietly at night. You guys didn't know that. Pretty cool, right? As a captain, he knows about more more about ships than I do, but it's pretty cool. They turned off the lights. We bombed their radar and everything so they couldn't see what was going on. We took out uh some nights 25 ships, some nights 15. Last four or five nights we did 25, 22, 21, 26, 18, and 14. Who else would remember those numbers? Nobody. >> Then Donald Trump says, "And guess why? A Republican got through to the final round of the primary in California. Steve Hilton got in because of me. They were rigging it and I caught him. And that's why there's a Republican who beat Tommy Styer who's now going to be in the runoff with Javier Bazera." Let's play it.
>> I did it a little while ago and opened it up to them twice. I've done it and now beat it. Right. Sir, >> Peter Navar, the great Peter Navara >> and I did it twice. I did it 10 and then they had a rigged election and I wasn't here. Totally rigged election just like what was happening in California. You see what they got the kid out and then they were doing the same thing to Steve Hilton and I started I started bringing it. They said look they said it's going to take two more weeks. It was a week and he was heading south and I started saying it's a rigged election and then they said it was going to take two weeks, one week, two weeks and all of a sudden he was approved. You know why? Cuz the heat was on. He couldn't get away with it. If I didn't do it, I guarantee he wouldn't he wouldn't be the nominee. It's a rigged election. Then uh Doug Bergam, another Trump bootlicker like, "Mr. President, Mr. President, I want to announce as well that uh we are banning windmills in the United States. Uh Pete Hegsith has come up with a report that says windmills are a national security threat, sir. Is this the most clownish regime you've ever seen? Let's play this clip.
>> What do you want to do on that, Doug? >> Well, I think I want to say first of all, absolutely positively uh the construction of these wind towers have an effect on fisheries. Uh we've had multiple multiple roundts between uh Noah which is part of Commerce and uh Interior which manages all of the offshore leasing. So it we plenty of evidence that destroys fishery. Number two is uh marine mammals which Howard has in in uh in Noah. Uh it's affected we've had more whales wash up on shore during the construction of these offshore things. So it's not it's not great for marine life, not great for fisheries. We also have the report from Secretary Pete Hixith uh which conclusively this is a national security threat and we should understand this was this was thrown out by the Democrats and said no it's not it can't be a national security they're just making it up >> then he's got someone there who's like uh and guess what the price of lobster's gone up a lot okay let's play it >> come to UFC >> anybody else you guys okay >> another thing too price of crab has tripled for us so >> we're not getting that competition from other countries which is from >> explain that go ahead >> Russian product for example so tariffs and our price just skyrocketed and it sells people buy it it's all US product coming in from >> so in other words I you know at the dock we received triple the amount of what we've seen in the past >> so the demand is there and people buy it >> okay we have >> and then he goes back to talking about Iran a reporter is like So, you think there'll be a deal this weekend? Trump goes soon. Just you see. Let's play it
>> on Iran. Go ahead. >> Mr. President, on Iran, how confident are you that there will be a signing this weekend? Because you have come close to sealing a deal, but at the last minute, it has fallen apart and >> it'll be it'll be soon. Maybe this weekend. >> And has the Supreme Leader approved this deal, sir? >> I understand the answer is yes. And when the um and when this deal is signed, is the United States going to immediately lift the blockade? >> Yes, that's true. That's that's part of the deal. >> And um just have oil prices dropping like Iraq. >> And sir, have you actually secured an agreement on the discussions about the nuclear material and the nuclear negotiations >> conceptually on that and nobody's getting close to it because it's buried under a mountain base. Basically, those B2 bombers But but has the Iran committed to not pursuing a nuclear weapon or will there be more negotiations on that down the line? >> They will not have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that. There will be no which is the whole reason which is a big part of the reason agreement. >> Uh they will not only not have they will not purchase develop in any way any shape in any way, shape or form a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon. And then Donald Trump signs some meaningless executive order that has no real power, but that he pretends is a law. And he goes, "You see what I'm doing here? Biden couldn't do this. I can sign. Biden never knew how to sign." Play it.
>> No auto pen. I don't want an auto pen. >> Can you believe 94% signed by auto pen? Can you believe that? I think it's higher than 94%. The only one that was definitely signed by him that we know of, you know what it was? It was his son. It was son. His son, that was the only one. You could tell. You know why? Cuz his signature was horrible. She was a real beauty of that one. Okay.
