Is that what I'm reading that? It kind of I mean, they might have maybe, but it's Iran and you can't trust them. So not really sure what to make of any of this. But according to Barack raved at Axios, the Iranian regime has agreed to Donald Trump's terms for a sixty day mo OU a memory of understanding. They will sign off on reopening the Straight of Horror moves with no claims over the International Waterway. That was one of their key points of leverage, or so they thought right that it was all about the Strait because they couldn't do anything militarily. Their economy was sanctioned, their industrial base destroyed. Right, they were their currency is like at record lows. It's like somewhere around two million reall per one US dollar. You've got million people now out of work, new people out of work, newly out of work because of the war, and you've got disaffectation in the ranks of the military. You've got all of the leadership whacked like so, in other words, they were winning right. Iran was winning this war by leaps and bounds. They us right where they wanted us. Because Trump is terrible. Trump doesn't know what he's doing. There's nobody in his administration that knows what they're doing. Everybody is stupid. Right, So the Iranians reportedly will sign off on reopening the street. They will make no claim that it's theirs, and they get to toll it right, they get to restrict access to it or anything like that. And they will discuss the surrender of its nuclear weapons program, which remember they said they would not do. That was off the table. We're not going to talk about that. And what does. Iran get restoration of its oil exports, which means the desperately needed cash. I've been talking about this for weeks. There is a rift inside the ear and regime. You have the civilian leadership, you have the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard right, and the baby Nepatola. Nobody has seen from Nobody has seen him ever since he was hit in that air strike. The IRGC claims he's still alive. The President of Iran claims he's still alive, but he hasn't put out any kind of video statement and audio statement, nothing to show proof of life. All we get are written statements and we get announcements from the IRGC. My personal opinion, and I don't know this just I've been you know, following this for the last what has it been, ninety days, sixty days, I don't even know. February twenty eighth, I think is when it started. So we got to March April. Yeah, So like we're approaching ninety days now, and I think that the dude is either dead or he is incapacitated somehow. I think they're pulling a weekend at Bernie's, and I think the IRGC is running the show. And I think all of the civilian leadership is too afraid of the IRGC whacking them, and so they're not rocking the boat. There are too many conflicting reports that have come out about you know, what did the baby Tola say? And then like somebody says, oh, we had a great meeting whatever whatever, and then like somebody from the IRG IRGC comes out and says there was no meeting. It's like, why would the president say that? Why would he Why would the President of Iran say he had a meeting a long conversation with the baby Nepatola and Uh And then the IRGC says no, that that didn't happen. So that's my guess. This according to Axios, the US officials that UH spoke to Barock revied at Axios said the sixty day MoU will state that shipping through the Strait of Hormus will be unrestricted. A US official said this means no tolls and no harassment, and that Iran will have to remove all the mines that they put in the strait and they've got thirty days to do that. Okay, so you're on a clock, guys. The US naval blockade will also be lifted, but that will happen in proportionate response to the restoration of commercial shipping. Okay, so the blockade is not ending today. You guys got some stuff to do. First, you guys have to do these things. You have to lift the or you have to stop harassing the boats. You have to go pick up your minds wherever you left them. If you can't find them, you better find them. The MoU will include an Iranian commitment not to pursue a nuclear weapon as well. It will also state that the first issues to be negotiated during the sixty day window will be how to dispose of Iran's highly enriched uranium and how to address Iranian enrichment. So that is the first thing that is not what Iran was agreeing to when all the talks first started. So obviously, the fact that they are now willing to talk about that and they are willing to open the strait proves that Donald Trump is stupid and he has lost the war and Iran is emerging as a global superpower because of Donald Trump. Obviously, right, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's the obvious takeaway here. For among all of the expert class, the US will commit to discuss sanctions, relief and the release of frozen Iranian funds as part of the negotiations. So that's not happening right away either. So this is why it may be a bit confusing for all of the experts on this is because they are accustomed to throwing a bunch of money at the Iranians first and then hoping that the Iranians make good on their end of the deal, and this is the reverse of that. This is you guys, got some stuff to do, and when you do your stuff, then we'll talk about unfreezing your assets, We'll talk about giving you some sanctions relief, we'll talk about allowing you to export some oil. Because what we don't want to have happen is you take all of that money and use it to fix up and reconstitute your military capabilities. So we're going to make sure that you do these things first, and then we'll talk about how you can get some money. Because again I've been saying this for several weeks, and back then this was the expectation was that the Iranian regime cannot survive long term without the flow of money that they live off of that allows them to keep their repression regime in place. They need the money, and they were being starved up. They were losing like five hundred million dollars like a day. It was insane, So of course they're going to collapse at some point, it's just a matter of when that happens. You also have all of your oil storage facilities that are approaching, if not already at capacity. They can't get all of the oil out, so then you've got to start shutting down the wells. You start shutting down the wells, and sometimes that is an irreversible thing to do, and they don't have the infrastructure to get them back online. So the civilian group in Iran, they for several weeks now they have been saying, we've been seeing reports of it. I've been taught talking about this too. Is that they were like, we will not be able to recover, Like you're you're going to a point of no return here where even if the regime survives, even if Trump were to leave, the amount of unrest, the instability, the economic ruin, all of that would be too much for the country to rebound from. In other words, they thought that Trump would taco right, that he would chicken out. They were relying on Western media and international media and their propagandists and their social media influencers to demoralize Trump his supporters, the American people, hoping that the demoralization would prompt Trump to chicken out to leave, and apparently it has not worked.

So we have an announcement or a story I should say at Axios about this memorandum of understanding. That would be sixty day window where they will first talk about how to dispose of Iran's uranium dust as they call it. This stuff is enriched to sixty percent, and that is then just a hop skipping a jump away from ninety percent, which is weapons great, which there's no civilian purpose for sixty percent enrichment, which all of the Iran apologists never seem to have an answer for why they've got sixty percent enrichment. The only reason you have that is to weaponize it at ninety percent. And the only reason you get the ninety percent is so you can have a nuclear weapon. And so if anybody is talking about whenever I hear anybody talking about, oh, you know, the enrichment, that big of a d and what, usually they just say something like I thought we destroyed it all. Yeah, you you still have a stockpile of it, and like we need to we need to get that out of the hands of the Iranians, and yeah, we blew up their centrifuges, and we blew up all these different facilities that are part of the UH, the supply chain and the pipeline. Their nuclear scientists got eliminated. Right, there are all these other components to the program. Okay, so Iran was refusing to even discuss their quote right to enrichment, and now apparently they are so again. Obviously, Donald Trump has lost. Ed Morrissey at hot air dot Com recaps the straight reopens, we do not release any frozen assets, and the IRGC commits to substantive discussions on the nuclear dust. It's not a final deal, but he said it's a step in the right direction, and perhaps more importantly, it's a step in Trump's direction. The big question will be whether the regime adheres to the terms. Axio says. Battered by war and suffocated by a US naval blockade, the country is in even worse shape as Washington presses Tehran into a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, leading its leaders or sorry, leaving its leaders weighing whether they can withstand the pain long enough to extract more concessions. More than a million Iranians have been left out of work as the national currency falls to record lows. Prices of staples like rice, meat, bread, and cheese have risen sharply in recent weeks, adding to the burden on Iranian households and raising the pressure on the government to prevent a repeat of the last wave of street protests. Iranian President Masud Pezeshkin and other pragmatists realize the slide will have to be stemmed if they are too maintain stability, meaning the worsening economic picture is becoming a key pressure point in the negotiations with Washington, which was totally unexpected. To the expert class. They all were saying for the last month, they've been saying, Iran holds all the cards, Iran controls the Strait of Hormoz. Iran is going to emerge more powerful. Look at Trump, He's so stupid. How did he not think that they wouldn't close the Strait of Hormos, Like, go ahead and close it, and then we'll close this other side on top of yours. And now you're stuck in here with me, like this idea that oh yeah, like I'm keeping you in here. No no, no, no, no, I'm in here with you. You're in here with me, and that is not good for you. And then you just slowly start applying all of the economic sanctions, you start ratcheting up all the other pressure, and Iran obviously thought that the Strait was going to be their leverage. Trump began ordering stepped up efforts this week to get shipping out of the Persian Gulf, and Iran's attempt to discourage it prompted immediate military responses. Right. There were two different occasions right where Iranian military vessels and drones they were harassing ships and they were like, oh no, no, you can't come through. We closed this straight and what did we do? Pew pew pew, out of the sky, out of the water, eliminated. You don't control the strait. I've been saying this from the very beginning, like, does anybody really think that if the US military was ordered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, does anybody really think that they couldn't do it. I have a lot more, I guess, confidence in our military's ability to just break things and kill people. As Russia used to say, right, they're very adept at this. And I thought that that was on full display at the very beginning of the action in Iran. But apparently some people like they don't want to believe this stuff. I guess they don't want to live in Realville with. The rest of us, And so I just always kept asking, why are they keeping the street closed? The Trump administration obviously did not want to move to open the street for some reason. Right they could have. I believe they could have, but for some reason that they did not tell us. And I don't expect them to. By the way, They're just gonna let They're just gonna let the Iranians steal, and in the meantime, all this other pressure starts building. It has become very apparent. At Morrissey writes that the Iranians are a lot more economically dependent on an open Strait of Hormuz than the US is, even to the IRGC lunatic hardliners, and that the economic catastrophe would soon destabilize the regime. Put that together with the approaching caps on oil storage and the long term damage of shutting down wells, and the picture gets grim indeed, and I think Ed Morrissey is exactly right on this. The US military conducted its second defensive strike this week against Iran, after officials say they observed aggressive activity from the Iranian military from Iran International, Kuwait condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks on its territory yester or today rather calling them a dangerous escalation and a clear violation of its sovereignty. Kuwait's Foreign Ministry said the attacks threatened civilians and vital facilities, and came as regional and international efforts were underway to reduce tensions. The ministry demanded that Iran immediately and unconditionally stopped the attacks, and said Iran bore full responsibility for the serious breach of international law. Kuwait said it reserves the right to take any necessary measures to protect its security defend its territory. YadA YadA YadA Sentcom US Central Command said that Iran fired a ballistic missile towards Kuwait in an egregious cease fire violation. SENCAM says Kuwaiti forces intercepted the missile, which it said was launched at ten seventeen pm on May twenty seven. It said the missile launch came hours after Iranian forces launched five one way attack drones that posed a threat in and near the Strait. SENTCAM said US forces intercepted all five of those drones prevented a six drone from launching from an Iranian ground control site in bundar Abbas. The commands said, US forces and regional partners remained vigilant while defending US forces and interest from Iranian aggression. Okay, so. That's why, like maybe Iran got the message that your little attacks here that you're doing into the Strait and into other countries. Whatever, we responded. We wiped out your missile and your five drones, and then we blew up your launch site. And we will keep doing this. Every time you do any kind of activity like this, We're going to keep doing it. And if you refuse to return to the negotiating table, then you know, we'll just open the doors and let the military resume. That's another leverage point. Let's it over to the phone lines and chat with Tony. Tony, welcome to the show. Uh I really do believe Iran should have nuclear weapons? Okay, hear me? Uh yes? Why why why should they have nuclear weapons? Okay? They said have nuclear weapons because because in the United States and Israel keep attacking them, but that they had nuclear weapons, they will stop, and and that's that's their country. Why is the United States in Israel telling them? What do they tell? What country tells the United States what to do? Uh? Nobody tells the US what to do because are the superpower? Other countries what to do because we're the superpower. Oh screw that, we ain't no superpower anymore. Oh what what country is more power? What country is more powerful than us? China? By what metric? We? Uh, they're just they're just better than us? Now because that idiot, and. How how how is China? Let's try to take Donald Trump out of the equation. I know that's difficult for a lot of people to do. But how is China? It's not the problem you said, China is better than us? So how is China better? By what metric? They are better governed on top, but even they just better governed in the United States. The United States is a joke right now on this mooove? Okay, So you prefer you prefer the communist tyrant jijinping this, You prefer a communist tyrant that surveils its people in prisons political opponents? You prefer that over Donald Trump? Yes? Why would you? Why would you? Why would you prefer enslavement over Donald Trump? That's what the United States is doing. No, it's not putting people in putting people in prison, that's a slavement. Uh who are they Who are they put in prison? Who are they putting with? Tony, Tony, Tony, who are they putting in prison? Migrants? There in prisons? They can go. They can leave any time they want. No, Tony, they can leave any time they want. How they're gonna leave when they are in prison, They're not. They can leave, Tony, Tony. They can leave any of those detention facilities the moment they say I will return to my home country. Oh you really believe that I do. That's the law. They can't actually do that in thousands of tens of thousands of them, as I covered a couple of weeks ago, have done. Just that, and then I heard you saying about it. No, hang on, Tony, So hang on. You've now said about four or five incredibly stupid things. Okay, well, you've said some stupid things. I'm sure I have. I'm sure I have, but I don't think I've strung together so many of them so closely as you just did in order to express your distaste for Donald Trump. But in the process of expressing your distaste for him. You have said some really stupid things, like you would rather live in a communist tyranny in China than have Donald Trump as the president's Do you realize how insane that sous? And that sounds? Well, well, that's why so many people are moving America. It's a tyrant. It's a tyrant. It is a tyrant. Also, you said China was better. I asked you by what metric you say that, and you pointed to jijin Ping. They are better governed than the America right now. Right better governed by a communist polait bureau that has no free elections. Well, what do we have here? We have free we have free elections. Here we have we have a constitutional republic. Yeah, we get to vote in our representatives. Did you say free elections? Do you really believe it? Yes? Yep? Mine is what man? How oh you have so you have. The secret You have the secret information into how we are no longer engaging in free elections and that's why you want to live under a communist. Okay, okay, Elon musk Bent what two and nine million? What did that two hundred and nine million go to defeat Kamala Harris. Campaign adds, campaign adds Yeah, camp campaign adds get out the Vote efforts, the very same thing that all the money from George Soros goes goes to for the Democrats. Must pay people to vote against Kamala. What's your evidence of that? What's your what's your what is your evidence of that claim? Because it has not been explained with two and nine million dollars to the wards to the machine, A lack. Of evidence is not evidence. I'm asking what evidence do you have of the now fifth stupid claim you've made that Elon Musk paid people to vote against Kamala Harris. What evidence do you have of that? Because I follow this stuff pretty closely and I've never heard anybody come forward with any accusations or let alone proof that Elon Musk was paying people to vote for Trump. Okay, okay, let's let's get this my massy. Wait. Why are you changing the subject, Tony? Why are you changing the subject? I asked you for evidence of your claim. I'm giving you examples. I don't want an example of something else. I want evidence of your claim that Elon Musk is purchasing or paying people to vote. Okay, what did two hundred and nine million dollars. Go are you listening? I already told you. Why don't you listen to these answers? You spend two and nine billion dollars on just that, Yes you can. What are you crazy? Dude? Barack Obama spent a billion tony Barack Obama spent a billion dollars for the presidency during that campaign. He had so much money he bought a half hour on every single major television network a week before the election. He had so much money. So, yes, that's what people spend. That is not the point. All of this started with your claim that Iran should have a nuclear weapon, and I haven't even gotten back to that stupid point because you then made the claim that if they had the nuclear weapon, then then America and Israel wouldn't keep attacking Iran. Dude, Iran has been attacking America for fifty years. How can I got done nuclear weapon reach America? What are you talking about? There? It's done, It's done, Isral? So what why did they hit ear Israel with nuclear weapons? So what? Oh? Yeah? So what a nuclear war in the Middle East? Who cares? So? I mean against Israel? You realize you realize they have they have ballistic missile capability to reach Europe. So what so what to that too? The main country is Israel. It's not the main country. It may be for you. You may have Israel on the brain for some reason. But they launched at the beginning of the at the outbreak of the hostilities, Iran launched two missiles, two missiles that had a range of four thousand kilometers. That is far enough to hit Europe. And I might add yesterday one of the IRGC officials went onto state television and talked about how they're going to widen the target list outside of the region. Is that a problem? Okay? Know it all? Iranian nuclear missile at the United States. First Off, they don't have. First off, first off, they don't have a First off, they don't have a nuclear missile. Yet. They don't have it. They can equip some of their missiles with the uranium dust and make it a radiological bomb. They could do that. And here's another no. And I'm gonna answer your question. You asked me a question, Tony. I'm going to answer your question. Unless you don't give a crap about the answer. Here's the answer. They can actually with their shadow fleet of ships. They can put weapons on those ships. They can then float across the ocean. They could park off the east coast. Now they don't have to launch a bullist and intercontinental ballistic missile. They don't have to launch a missile to do that. It's just a delivery package that changes. Oh you know what? Your man is so mixed up? Man, that's not it? So you have no you have no rebuttal, you have no rebubble. Your man, Your man is a screwed up. Could it be that you're just ignorant, Tony? Could it be that you're ignorant? You're ignorant on some things. I am on this I am not. I thought I thought you were pretty small, but you dumb as a rock? Man? Maybe so, But it sounds like I am a little bit more well informed on this than you are, which makes you what dumber than a rock? You've been drinking the orange kool aid? Oh? Is that say? There you go? So there's no other explanation for why you don't know what you're talking about except Trump? Why don't you go rub his feet? Now? Why would I do that? You love him? Since you love him? Though I don't love him. I actually I did not vote for him the first two times around, and I actually lobby people in my audience not to vote for him back in twenty fifteen. So see again, Tony, there's so much that you think you know that isn't so. And when I try to give you the information, you refuse to hear it. So you are now willfully ignorant. You call in here and make you make an assertion. I ask you to defend it, and you can't do so. You can't do so that speaks to you, and you can try to insult me by saying, my brain's all out of whack and I don't know this stuff. The only person who does not know what they're talking about in this conversation was you have a very pleasant day, Tony. Thanks for calling, sincerely, Thank you again to Tony for calling. I do enjoy it. And Donna would like to weigh in now. Hello, Donna, Welcome to the show. Donna. Hello, I can hear you breathing. Hello, Yes, hello Donna. Yeah, this is a terrible timing. My bug guy is called. I have to try to get my twenty pound cat to go in his carrier, which he voluntarily probably won't do this house, so I won't even be able to comment on anything I wanted to. And I can't believe I got on the air awesome alive. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. Well you could in the amount of time you told me that you could have just given me your comment. Yeah, no, believe me. I don't how I go to get him going right now? All right? He take Dona. Good luck with the cat. Oh my goodness. As a cat owner, I can relate, especially with a cat that large. Brad says, maybe President Trump could throw Iran a bone and allow them to charge a toll to navigate the Strait of Horror moves on Russian, but only on Russian, Chinese and North Korean tankers. It's like, yeah, if you want to charge a toll, go right ahead. You can charge it to only these three countries. That's one way to go. The Pentagon. This is from Paul. The Pentagon, after an assessment, informed Congress it could take months to remove the mines. How is a headless country with poor record keeping remotely capable of removing the mines? I don't know, figure it out. He's like, see, here's the thing. Like I don't care, Like whatever, Iran says they can or can't do whatever, Like it doesn't matter to me, because like, keeping things as they are right now hurts Iran far more than it hurts America. I know, four dollars gas pete. It still hurts Iron until we're losing half a billion dollars a day and we've got millions of people out of work and our vital infrastructure is all blown up. It's hurting them more. So I had like, okay, you guys, you want to drop some minds up. Hope you remember where they where you put him. Gary says, Sean or Tony or whatever his name is, should look up what China does too, and how they treat black people. Oh yeah, I didn't want to go there, but yeah. China's like like some of the most racisty racist country and they're advertising over They literally have a commercial on Chinese TV. It's for a detergent I've seen it. And a black guy comes to a woman's house and she's like repulsed by him, so she shoves him into a washing machine, umps a bunch of the detergent that's being advertised into the washing machine, turns it on, and then out pops a Chinese man, that's an advertisement for a detergent okay, But in Tony's mind, Trump is so terrible that even that in the Chinese society is preferable to living in America with Donald Trump as president for another two and a half years. It's like the level of Trump derangement syndrome is so off the charts it clouds every other kind of rational, logical thought process. And I think Tony was a really really great example of that, just bouncing from one thing to the next, making these crazy assertions like he invented the square. I'm sorry that Doctor Evil's father did that. Anyway. They literally is the laundry is there? You go, Garret exactly the laundry ads that I just described. Gary mentioned that as well. In his text. Ken says, why do you let Tony on the air? I've said this many many times. I don't know why people keep asking me. Maybe you haven't heard. The explanation is that I bring people who disagree with me on the air, and I let them make their arguments as best they can, and oftentimes it's not very well. But I let them make their arguments so you hear the argument, and then you hear my response to that argument. So when you are out in the wild you hear this argument from somebody else, you will know how to rebut it. Right, that's why, And like it's fun. I mean, I was a political science guy in college, and it's like I enjoyed the debate. Sorry, Tony, got me tired, real tired. Your patience is amazing, Pete, thank you, Cabis, Chris Rodney, why do you waste your time already explain that? Yeah, Kamala, Oh yeah, what an idiot? Tell Tony Kamala spent a billion dollars and lost. That's from Jonathan. Yeah, And this is. The same argument that I make with the people who are like, oh, it's only you know, Massy lost only because of the money whatever. Massy himself said that that money was not a factor in the loss. Massy himself is they go, and they both had the same amount of money, roughly, it was like within a million dollars of each other. But Tony doesn't understand how you can spend that kind of money. And so the only explanation that he can come up with is that Elon Musk was out there like flinging hundreds at people to vote for Trump or something. It's just ridiculous. All right, I will go over let's see here, Tyler, Welcome to the program. Hello Tyler, good afternoon, Good afternoon. I've listened to you since you took over the time slot for Old Maha Rushi. Well, thank you. I appreciate that Joorya's show. Thanks sir. I would like to respond to Tony of Iran if I may. Sure, Yeah, so, Tony, I think Peak covered a little bit of it. But the reason that we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons is probably because they have harbored terrorists and funded terrorism, including might I have been lauden for probably about forty or fifty years now, and if they had a nuclear weapon, they probably would have already tried to use it. In my opinion, I think Trump is being too cautious and ledient because he's afraid that he's going to drop his phone numbers. Even more because I believe if he should just go ahead and bomb them out and take them out, yeah no, out of all this tiptoeing and negotiating what they're doing now. Sure, look, and I've heard this, uh this criticism as well. Part of me agrees with you on that, but like like when it comes to Trump on this stuff, it's like, I'm just gonna wait and see. I'm gonna let him cook and see how he does. And if he's making a calculation that we don't have to actually expend any more ordinance, right, we don't have to fling any more missiles, drop any more bombs, We don't have to do any of that stuff, and we can just exert all of this other pressure that takes down the regime or gets them to the table to negotiate the things that we demand. Then why waste all of the military hardware? Right? Like? Why why do that? Why put soldiers and airmen in harm's way? Right? Why do that when you can you can maybe get the same results by just waiting them out. And I agree, and in perfect world that would be great. I just don't think it's going to happen. I think you you, you yourself have said, uh, you know, communists and dictatorships and terrorists lie, and I don't believe they're ever going to truly commit to any sort of peace. The only way that I think you're ever going to accomplish peace with Iran is to take them out, take the regime out. I also like to say to Tony that who said that he would prefer Jijing King and the communist Chinese Communist Party over Donald Trump? And I am far from being a kool aid drinker. I actually voted for wrong DeSantis in the primary. I thought he would be a better leader overall. But I can say that Tony would not even be allowed the platform to speak to you on public radio in criticism of Jijing King like he did Donald Trump right, and if he actually got on the radio to do that, they would more likely hunting down and. Keel deal, or at the very least put him in a re education facility. Tyler, I appreciate the call. It's a fantastic point. You are one hundred percent correct, and Tony makes his comments against his country and the president because he enjoys the freedom that the country provides him to do so, and he is too blind to see it. Tyler, again, appreciate the call. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could not do the show without your support and the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, So if you'd like, please support them too and tell them you heard it here.
