Trump also said he won't apologize to to pope Leo after lashing out at the pontiff for his comments criticizing the war in Iran. Pope Leo called the president's threats last week to destroy Iranian civilization unacceptable.”

“The US Navy now restricting the movement of ships in and out of the Strait Of Hormuz, part of a blockade of Iranian ports announced by president Trump Sunday after peace talks with Iran produced no agreement. Iran has remained defiant, saying it will not surrender to threats from The US.”

“Democratic California congressman Eric Swalwell and Texas Republican Tony Gonzalez are stepping down from their house seats, both bowing to pressure to leave congress or face expulsion following sexual misconduct allegations.”

“The defendant is alleged to having traveled across state lines with the intent to both target an individual and a major technology company. This was not spontaneous. This was planned, targeted, and extremely serious.”

“The NAR is revising its housing forecast down for the year. That's because the war with Iran has raised the cost of borrowing, and that sent mortgage rates up. The association went from rejecting a double digit increase in existing home sales to just 4%.”

“A war few expected to last this long is exposing how fragile global systems really are.”

“The U.S. military is currently overextended, making it vulnerable to asymmetric threats from smaller nations.”

“So far, the average refund is about 11% higher than this time last year, about $350 more according to data from the IRS. Michael Pierce with Oxford Economics expects that average will go up.

“World Cup tickets are getting even pricier. FIFA, the international governing body for professional soccer, is adding a more expensive tier. A ticket for a front category one seat at the US opener against Argentina in Los Angeles will cost as much as $5,470 according to the Associated Press.”

“And then over the weekend, it turns out some of us were right and some people were wrong because he didn't cave in. And now he has Iran's feet to the fire, and they have really, really serious problems. So all this began with negotiations in Islamabad where the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, arrived along with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.”

“The reality is that the Iranian government—people see the attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz as a sign of strength, but that is not the case. Their navy is at the bottom of the sea. Their air force cannot fly. Their government is so discombobulated that you have factions within the Iranian government legitimately arguing with each other fairly publicly.”

“Massive numbers of completely empty oil tankers, some of the largest anywhere in the world, are heading right now to the United States to load up with the best and sweetest oil and gas anywhere in the world. We have more oil than the next two largest oil economies combined and in higher quality. We’re waiting for you. Quick turnaround.”

“Iran's inability to locate its own mines is one reason Iran has not been able to quickly comply with the Trump administration's admonitions to let more traffic pass through the strait. Safe routes are limited in large part because Iran mined the strait haphazardly. It's not even clear that Iran recorded where it put every mine, and even when they recorded the location, they let them drift.”

“If the Straits of Hormuz were to be, let us say, permanently closed or harmed, the chief problem would lie with the people who get their oil from the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the United States. That is jet fuel in Europe. That is most of the oil that is going into places like Japan and China from that region.”

“In the case of President Trump, you know, you and I have talked before about his negotiating style. He likes to carry a big stick. He weighs it initially. He then uses it. And then, of course, he very quickly pivots to, you know, you can have peace if you'll just make the right deal. Everything is about the art of the deal, isn't it?”

“I think we would have to assume that they're non-negotiable or it's going to be anything about regime change or human rights within Iran. They're going to want to be absolutely sure that they can maintain control in Iran. The other three files—nuclear, missiles, and proxies—are different, but regime survival is hardline.”

“The nuclear file, I think it's entirely possible that the Iranians will be willing to agree to most of what the United States is asking for on the nuclear file because, you know, this is the one area where it's obvious that the US will not be willing to compromise. So we might look to see whether they've actually moved towards the idea that they would have to accept an end to their nuclear program.”

“The newly appointed Iranian ambassador in Lebanon, the Lebanese have withdrawn their agreement to his appointment, and he is to stay even though he's not being given credentials by the government of Lebanon. Now it's an extraordinary statement that Lebanon is not a sovereign country and that the sovereignty in Lebanon is possessed by the Iranians.”

“I think that we saw a very strong statement from Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, saying that the coalition would always come together and it would support the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. And in a way, the Iranians have helped us in this respect, because closing international waters is obviously against international law.”

And in a way, the Iranians have helped us in this respect, because closing international waters is obviously against international law.”

“Less than six weeks ago, more than 50,000 of America's sons and daughters in uniform launched Operation Epic Fury and embarked on a mission of profound consequence. We set out to dismantle the Iranian regime's ability to project power beyond its own borders, and we clearly accomplished this task. Iran has suffered a generational military defeat.”

“Based on conversations with prime minister Shabaz Sharif and field marshal Asin Munir of Pakistan, they requested that I hold off the destruction force being sent tonight to Iran. I agreed to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided ceasefire because we have already met and exceeded our military objectives.”

“I hereby declare on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait Of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with the consideration of technical limitations.”

“They aren't just wrong, they're undermining what it would mean for America to actually be great again. America has to be strong; that's been President Trump's message the entire time he's been running for office, and it will be strong. It is about people who are actively rooting for America to lose and openly say so.”

“CENTCOM forces destroyed approximately 80% of Iran's air defense systems, striking more than 1,500 air defense targets, more than 450 ballistic missile storage facilities, and 800 one-way attack drone storage facilities. All of these systems are gone. We've devastated Iran's command and control and logistical networks, destroying more than 2,000 command and control nodes.”

“First of all, we were correct. We talked about this and we said that the tariffs and we said at the beginning of the year they would be tactics, not taxes. And guess what? All the economists come out and so surprised. Oh, wow, you know, it really hasn't gone up and hasn't been as inflationary as we thought.”

“Trump just came out and said, Look, Venezuela is going to give up 50 million barrels of oil to the US. And China comes out and says, Wait a minute, what are you talking about? That's ours. So there's this fight going on. Remember the key word that Rubio used, Western Hemisphere.”

“Trump administration is freezing $10 billion in child and family aid to five states over fraud concerns. And by the way, you know what they said? Fraud investigation of California has begun. What do you mean, fraud investigation? It just began.”

“Iran on the brink, as protestors move to take two cities, appeal to Trump, you should see they have Trump's name stickers all over streets. They're renaming streets after Trump in Farsi. Just a very interesting spectacle. Reza Pahlavi came out and gave a message to the Iranian people.”

“Rubio tells lawmakers Trump wants to buy Greenland. We don't know if it's on sale or not. I went on eBay the other day. I didn't see Greenland for sale. I went on realtor.com. Zillow couldn't find it, but maybe they're on a different website we don't have access to.”
