And today being a day that ends with the letter why it is another day with another Grand platinir scandal. I was going to start off with that, but I am seeing now that President Donald Trump is approaching a podium at the NATO summit, and so let's uh, we've got the audio, let's jyp it and join in. Product. President erwas really a great man. He's a great leader. He's a friend of mine, being a friend of mine for long time. He's a strong person, very strong personality, and that's why he runs such a successful and good company country and really a great I would say a great country. Militarily, he's very powerful. Stop alone, but he's really done a fantastic job. And from the moment we got off the plane. You look at the airports were beautiful. He built they built a new terminal for our arrival. Everything was beautiful. And so I just want to thank President Ernwan, who's done a fantastic job in Turkey. And I also want to Secretary General Mark Ruta. Mark is an extraordinary person, smart, great leader. It's not easy leading so many leaders like that. Get a lot of leaders, and there's strong personalities every one of them, and Mark marked as an unbelievable job. Couldn't find anybody better. I just want to say there was tremendous love in that room. The press got to see the sitting, but they didn't get to see the speaking. And I actually said, it's too bad the press couldn't see this because every one of them spoke for a little while, and I spoke for a little while, and it's a big it's a lot of speeches. We kept it short. But it's too bad the press couldn't have seen what we were doing in that room because it was very smart people and they have a lot of good in their heart, not evil good, and they're doing a great job for their country. The world is doing well. We have as you know, the oil is down. We'll see whether or not we keep it down. We should keep it down. We're doing things that should have been done forty seven years ago with Iran, and I just want to say that, throughout my first term and over the past eighteen months, the United States has led a historic effort to dramatically increase the defense spending and to have equipment that no other country in the world has. When you look at Venezuela, when you look at Iran, essentially demolished their military in a couple of weeks. They had a good military, They had a good navy that had one hundred and fifty nine ships. Everyone's at the bottom of the sea. They had hundreds of airplanes. They are all gone, the road lying, burned up on the runways. They were totally decimated. Their radar is gone, everything's gone. Their leaders are gone rightly, and their combat capability is pretty low. They have a small percentage of missiles left. They have some of the launchers of missile launchers left, call the launching pads, but most of that's been destroyed too. So we are. We have the strongest military in the world by far, not even close. Everybody admits last year's summit in the Netherlands was great also, and we achieved an unprecedented agreement to increase the annual defense ending and it's the benchmark, raising it from two percent to five percent of GDP, which everybody said was impossible. Another role thanking me, and most of the countries have agreed to it. We have a couple couple of that didn't, but I have a feeling they're going to and pretty quickly. In fact, today they were very positive. One of them in particular was I didn't think a good team player. Today was a great team player. As all of the. Leaders understand very well, the United States remains by far the largest contributor to NATO monetarily and maybe otherwise, and the strongest military anywhere in the world. And they respect us as a country. Again. They didn't respect us two years ago. They laughed at us, NATO laughed at us, everybody laughed at us. They don't laugh anymore. There's no more laughing. This year, we invested a record one trillion dollars in our armed forces. Then we're going to be asking for one point five trillion coming up. We have the money being spent on the best equipment anywhere in the world. In the working. Session this morning, we discussed the progress other members are making toward the five percent target, and they're making great progress. Many of these countries are very rich. By the way, we'd have to feel sorry for them, but it doesn't mean they're properly protected. There's a big difference. Some have truly answered the call and others are making big changes and will be answering the call. I think I can say in all cases, they're going to be answering the call, and we'll be taking in over trillion dollars a year toward defense. And that's true, tremendous amount of money. It's a big up. They were two percent. They were actually a one percent. I got them to two percent, and I wanted to get them to five, and we got up to five the last time, and they're you know, just again, if you could have seen the respect and the love in the room, and it's love really for the country, for our country. I don't want to say me because you'll say, oh, he's so conceited, he's such a conceited person. But they do. I mean, you know, they they like the job I'm doing. They said, we love Sue, we love you. He's a grown people saying that it's not nice. Maybe that I don't know, maybe they're trying to get to me and the way they did because there was tremendous. Unity in that room. And I urge all nations to accelerate their plans to get the benchmark as quickly as possible. Benchmark is going to be at five percent number. This is the number should have been for years. As a result of the commitment we achieved last year, defense spending of other NATO members surge by more than almost one hundred and fifty billion dollars in twenty twenty five, and much of that money is being spent on American made equipment. They all want American made equipment. We're we're. Pushing very hard to have the defense companies they're great. We make the best equipment. The Patriots and the Tomahawks, and everything we have is considered to be the best. Not by me, it's everybody wants it. I wish we made it faster because we could sell as much as we could make. And as you know, I had Lockheed and every one of the companies, all of the companies who RAYTHEANA as an example, Boeing, so many of those great companies are now building plants. They had big plants, but they were using them twenty four to seven. I said, that's not the way to do it. You have to build more plants. You don't have to just go over time. No tax on overtime, remember that police, No tax on overtime. Those people are happy, but they're going. They were doing literally twenty four hours to get the Tomahawks done and the Patriots done, and all of the other defensive end offensive equipment done. It's the most sort after equipment in the world. You saw that with Venezuela, where they had a lot of great equipment. There wasn't ourson. It didn't work. Our equipment works, but we have to produce it faster for other countries, for everybody, including ourselves. We have to produce it faster. So we think within a year, year and a half max will be instead of waiting for a year or two years, we'll be having it on a. Two week wait, maybe a one week wait. That's what I want, and it'll do really well. A lot of people are just waiting. They're waiting. You want to get this defensive equipment, maybe in particular the defensive equipment, but offensive and defense, as much of that money is being spent on American made the equipment. That's the money that the European and Canada are spending European countries mostly. All right, So it sounds like he's talking about this closed door meeting where everybody seems like I guess if I can understand what he was trying to say there, is that they're all going to a five percent, and everybody's excited about going to the five percent spending the GDP as a percentage of the GDP on military, and maybe some contracts are getting announced or are being signed. I guess I'll keep monitoring it, all right.

He went off on a on a bit of a well, he seems very tired today, which does make sense. I mean, he was partying for the July fourth, you know, celebrations and stuff, and probably stayed up to watch the World Cup. Game, and then he got on a plane and flew over to Turque. Is how they want that pronounced now, I think, And so he definitely, he's definitely like he seems slurry. He's got a lot of saliva in his mouth too. He started talking about the Democrat socialist. He kind of riffed using some of his talking points from the speech he gave over the weekend about the you know, America won't be communists. And then he said, like some of. These candidates, they're they're bad people. They look bad. There aren't a lot of lookers. And now he's back on the military spending and how you know, we have all this great military hardware and everybody wants it. And so he's he's still going on that stuff. But this morning we saw what he had said earlier in the day, so I think this is nighttime over there. But after he was so they before he did the meeting with the some of these NATO leaders and stuff, he was sitting there with the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutta or Ruti or route. I don't know how he pronounces this. I think it's Rutta. And this is the guy who called Trump daddy, right anyway, Look, I mean, look, give give Mark reta credit, like he knows the way to Trump's heart, right just And this is why I've never understood the Democrats posture again towards Trump on all of this. If you just flatter the man, then he'll be your he'll be your best friend. You'll get way more done. He's transactional like that. I don't like that. But that's like I could identify that very early on. Anyway. So Trump speaks to the press this morning in the wake of another bombing campaign that the US did over Iran in retaliation for Iran shooting at another bunch of boats in the Strait of Hormuz, which they're not supposed to be doing, particularly when they were like, please please do not attack us while we do our one week burial service for the Ayatola. Right, So they're they're like carting his body around city to city to city, and they're like, look at all these people in the streets there of us. And then Meanwhile, you got crowds chasing down members of the negotiating team, threatening them. So uh yeah, there's yeah. I've got an article on that too. But here's what Trump said earlier about negotiating with Iran. We have a jactuary powerfully last night, the very. Dangerous people from irand they're sick. There's something wrong with them. We said, go and do your funeral stuff. And instead of at they start shooting rockets at chips yesterday. And so we hit him very hard last night, very hard. I would say twenty to one, twenty times tougher. And I told him every time we hit. And of course they're dirty players, so they go after everyone, probably including me. I've been number one on their list for years. And there are a bunch of scum. You want to know that, this scum. And so we don't like them. I don't like them. And they're evil people. And it's the denuclearization of Iran, and we're gonna d nuked. We're not going to let them because they're crazy and they can't have a nuclear weapon, and they go around killing people. They've killed thousands and thousands of our soldiers. They've killed hundreds of thousands, of innocent people. They had the roadside bomb. Solomony. I took care of him first term, and that was a big thing because I think they probably would be a lot stronger had he been around, because he was a bad guy. But he was an evil genius, but a bad guy, and he was the father of the roadside bomb. The roadside bomb is the bomb that goes on when you're driving your living vehicle around and he goes on and you have no legs, no arms, and no face. And they've killed thousands and thousands of people. Even the SS coal was theirs, you know if you remember that disaster. So I don't like them at all, and frankly, I think we waste a lot of time with them. I think we should I think we should just do our business. Can you imagine they start shooting bombs actually missiles and chips yesterday, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, a couple of others, and they don't know I don't think. I don't think they know what the hell they're doing. But they're bad people, very bad people. I think they're incompetent, by the way, because if they were competent, they would have made a deal a long time ago. Like, how about forty seven years ago? So they've been trouble for forty. Seven years and there we took out their first set of leaders. We took out their second set of leaders. They want to take out the US leader. Me. I'm on every list. I saw things this morning. I'm on every single one of the lists. And so far, I guess I've been a little bit lucky. But that maybe doesn't last very long because asuegos, we have great people, but these are evil, sick people, and we have to rid. Their cancer, their cancer. And you know what you do. You got to cut out cancer early. Man. That's the way I feel, all right. So, just in case there was any doubt Donald Trump's fit, well, I don't know if they Maybe they should call him daddy maybe right, take a page from NATO's secretary general. Maybe praise him and he'll leave you alone or something. No, they're sick, crazy, evil, dangerous, incompetent bad. I don't like them. Nobody likes them. They're a cancer. So the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that the bombing runs that we did in response to the attacks on the commercial vessels that were hit, we hit radar sites, surveillance sites. He says, anything used to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormas, Hormos Hormas anyway, anything they thought they had rebuilt, or any capability they were using, was a target last night. And if the President orders, we'll hit him again and hit them harder, hit him deeper. Yeah right, I've got another clip from Donald Trump. He calls them liars as well. I'm as shocked as you are that it took this long for people to realize that. But I am as shocked as you are that the Iranians cannot be trusted. President Trump just fielded a question from the as he would call it, failing New York Times, where the reporter read back quotes of Trump to him how he called the the Iranians that he was talking with. He called them rational. I forget some of the other, but you remember a couple of weeks ago, Trump was saying good things about. The Iranians, and everybody's like, why are you saying this? So the New York Times read back these, you know, these plaudits and then said, but today you're calling them scum and evil and a cancer. What changed? And Trump said, I got to know him. But all right, let me play for you the SoundBite from earlier today where he does refer to the Iranians as scum, and then he asks like, do you know what scum is to the reporter, to which if I was the reporter, I would have said, yeah, that's that stuff that's all over the reflecting pool, right Like, isn't that the scum at the reflect Okay? Sorry, too soon? That may yeah, maybe Okay. Here's the SoundBite from earlier today. The seafire over. It's the seasfire done? Is they emou dead? It's a very interesting question to me. I think it's over. I don't want to deal with him any with the scum. You know what scum is. There's scum, there's sick people. They're led by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people, Steve Woodcuff, Jared Kusher, but they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal. And if I make a deal with him, we have a deal, and he goes out, he. Talks, We make can deal. Everyone's agreed, no nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say, we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. So as I'm concerned, it's over, well, resume after we get through the funeral proceedings. What does this mean that talks with the RYE will not resume. I don't care. They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time. They are a bunch of lion guys. I do it my whole life. That's all I do is deals. My whole life is That's how I became president. I guess that's a deal too, right. But I made a lot of money. I had a lot of great success, now tremendous success. Everything I did I was successful. And I deal with these guys and I say, this is from a different school. They are liars, they're cheats, they're sick people. They've hurt their people. They killed fifty four thousand people as of now that we're protesting. You know, when people say how come they haven't taken over? They kid take over because they're dead. They killed them. Nobody's going to take over. They have no guns and the other side has machine guns. And they're killing them with the press does are reported, but they're bad people. They're bad people, and frankly, I don't want to waste my time with him now. I'll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want. But I don't see it. I don't like these people, you know that. I like him, I like the leaders, I like I think all of these leverages. I think they didn't treat the United States fairly for many years. But that's okay. But they're sane, rational, good people, most of them. I don't like a couple of them, to be honest, but they're a couple. I don't like munching. I like. I'll tell you again with the Ardwan fluffing. All right, so let's sayd liars, scum, cuckoo to the list that's now including sick, crazy, evil, incompetent, and bad. These are the words he has used to describe the irang When it comes to the m ou, he said, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them. He doesn't want to deal with them anymore. He says, it's a waste of time. So I interpret this not that I am any kind of Trump whisperer here. I interpret this as you guys that wanted to do them ou that you wanted this deal. And I view this group as the the JD vance wing of the of the MAGA coalition. I think he's like, no, you had your shot, They're done. I think that's where he came down on this after what Iran just did you know? They say, don't don't do anything. We're gonna bury your Ayatola, give us a week. We got to parade his body through every city, do these big open, you know, parades and stuff, while chant you know, murder Trump killed Trump, all of this death to America. Oh. One of those chants was led by uh, what's that moron's name, Jackson Hinkle or something, some quote unquote right wing guy. This like he was like one of the og on the horseshoe, right. He led a chant of death to America, death to Israel. I think he even threw in a did he hang on a second? I think he threw into death to Trump too. Maybe oh no, sorry, yeah, death to Zionists, death to Israel and Death to America led a crowd in chanting that, oh, Max Blumenthal was there too, from the gray zone from that publication. That's a that's quite the bona fide there for Max Blumenthal to be at the Ayatola's funeral helping lead chance of death to America. We really need to consider or some treason and sedition charges for people. I'm just saying. I'm not saying everybody is guilty. You got to go through the process, all about due process, all of that. But I'm just saying we should consider, like bringing these types of charges back. If you're gonna lead chance in Iran of death to America, I kind of feel like that may cross a threshold into into treasonous seditious behavior, you know, just maybe a little bit, maybe one foot over the line. Sweet Jesus. Anyway, I think this is him telling everybody that, like I gave, I gave the the MoU, like I gave the people who were pushing that, I gave them the opportunity. We you know, we let them negotiate this thing. They said, yeah, we can do this, we can work with these people. We got a sedial of some kind, Okay, and then Iran fires off off a bunch of missiles at commercial ships in the Strait and it's like, okay, no, you're, as he said, liars and cheats. That's I mean Trump himself said years ago, right, they've never won a war but never lost a negotiation. So how about like we do battle with them in the arena that they lose in how about that? Let me jump over to the text line just. To be fair. M. David says, I'm listening to Trump talk and I have no idea what he's talking about. He's just rambling in to complain about Joe Biden and how senile he was, which wasn't wrong. And now he gets up there and ramble on like this with information that is completely unimportant. He has yet to make a single point or tell us anything of value. Chris says Trump needs a nap. Yeah, I'd say so. The guy. The guy is he's over eighty? Is he over eighty? At this point? I think he's. I mean, he's about eighty years old and he just did he just did a flight across the halfway around the world. He's been in meetings with these leaders and stuff. I have no doubt that he's tired, although I have long believed and this was confirmed by Mick mulvaney that they have They've got some stuff, like the White House has some stuff that can get you like rejuvenated, very very quickly. So maybe give him some of that stuff. I'm not saying illegal stuff. I'm saying like just different, like the was it the Limitless? Remember that show Limitless where they came up with the pill and it opened up all these pathways in your brain and you got super smart and all of this. That's a real thing. They banned it on Jeopardy. They like, you can't take any of those Jeopardy enhancing drugs they call him Jed's. I don't know. I don't know if they do, but it's like, but it is, it's an enhancement. You're not allowed to take them. But they like IV's you can do an IV rehydrate, you know, get yourself all juice stuff like that. I just I feel like they should maybe do that. That's favorite russ As. Please God, somebody make an app to filter all of the extraneous stuff from Trump's speeches. That would be nice. Yeah, But again, like, do do I prefer this? No? Have I have? I made peace with it. Yes, Why because I have asked God to grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, and no amount of complaining in Charlotte, North Carolina is going to change the way Donald Trump riffs on everything and everyone in all of his speeches. He's he's like a stand up insult comic slash radio host. But that's how I view him so and I accept, Like, I just accept that because what are my alternatives. I'm gonna get so mad and I'm gonna make him break my brain. Like I'm That's not a way that I want to live. So I'll listen to it and see another David, thanks me for distilling all of those comments down in the first segment too, When I said, I guess they're going to go to five percent, I think I think that was the takeaway there. Holy moly, can you be a giver and listen to all that mess without without us? After a decade of that, I just can't anymore. Well, I took it live. I took it live. Okay, I did not know what he was going to talk about. I don't know how he's going to perform, but I only took the first segment because after hearing that, I was like, yeah, we're all gonna all asleep, so I'm not going to take any more of it, and I'll just give you any highlights that come up, and then I did, so you're welcome. Walt says, if Jimmy Carter had a spine in seventy nine, we wouldn't be in this predicament right now. That yeah, if you had just turned that plane around. Tim g says, anybody that actually believed Iran would actually adhere to a ceasefire was fooling themselves. Iran has never nor will ever want peace. That's correct. But see again, I think that Trump is surrounded by two different groups of people in his cabinet that are probably diametrically opposed to what path to take with Iran. I think on one side you've got sort of the Rubio wing, and on the other side you've got the JD. Vance wing. I don't know who all is in each camp. I don't it doesn't matter to me. It seems to me like this bouncing back and forth, this sort of team of rivals, if you will. It's like he allows Rubio to make his case, he allows Vance to make his case and then he says, Okay, let's see what you can do. And so Rubio was obviously not happy with them OU. That was evident when he was standing on stage behind Trump when they announced it. And Rubio has done nothing to sell the MoU, right, He's not been out there touting its benefits and how awesome of a deal it is and anything like that. So Rubio has a different view, which given his background, makes sense when he looks at totalitarian regimes. He's been very consistent when it comes to Iran for the better part of his entire political life. So jd. Vance has a different mindset. He wanted a different approach. So he's been out there as sort of the lead salesman for the MoU. And I don't know why he thought that the Iranians were going to behave in a different way. I don't but it hasn't worked, and I think Trump is just he's just done with them. After this latest attack on merchant vessels, the British military said three tankers were struck by Iranian projectiles, the most in a single day since late April. According to UN International Maritime Organization, one tanker traveling off the coast of Oman caught fire, while two others took some damage but continued on their paths. The US officials told CNN that the strikes constituted a gross violation of the MoU with Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is saying that they are suspending all talks on a final nuclear settlement with the US. Oh surprise, surprise, Like, look, I didn't believe you were going to do that anyway. So, oh, no, you're not going to talk about the thing that I didn't expect you to talk about anyway. This follows Iran's earlier termination of the mo Ou. So the mo Ou apparently is dead. Like how many scaramouchies did that thing last? Like? Two? Was it? Two scaramuchies. Peace talks between the US and Iran have been on hold this week because of the long delayed funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ayatola Ali Kameni. Also of note they or the baby Nepatola. He was not around for any of these, for any of the morning or marches. He was not president. His brother was. His brother was there for some of this stuff, but he was not. And they didn't really have a whole lot of foreign dignitary like presidents from countries. Former presidents did not show up. That was weird. They had former presidents and former Iranian leaders that did not show up, and there were chants and sort of crowd rushes at some of the Iranian negotiators claiming them to be traders. Death to the compromiser, Death to the trader. These were the chants by the Iranian hardliners against their own leaders. So that's not good. Probably all right, that'll do it for this episode.
