This was a direct hit not far from Israel's main nuclear reactor, showing Iran can keep raining missiles across Israel and the Middle east, all while maintaining their almost total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump told the Iranians last night they have 48 hours to unblock the strait or he would obliterate their power plants. Iran replied that all energy facilities belonging to the United States will be targeted

in response in Charlie's absence while he's away on assignment with God, that the worst thing we could do to honor Charlie's legacy in those days afterwards and the hours. Now, here we are a month, six months after, the worst thing we could possibly do is to quit and give up and, and pack it up and say, all right, well, you know, whether it's giving up outright or giving up on his strategy. Right. Because his strategy was working, and that's exactly why he was killed. So we're gonna do what we can to try to keep Charlie's legacy going. What do you guys think about that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We are here live on Real America's voice. Today is March 24, 2026, Anno Domini, and day today is day 25 of Operation Iran. Of course, we've been talking yesterday about moving up the escalation ladder. We are seeing the situation on the ground continue to continue to play out and of course, seeing more and more strikes from Iran, hitting into the, hitting into Tel Aviv, heading into Israel, making their way through Israeli air defense, the, the, of course, famous Iron Dome. But many questions arise over how much longer both sides are able to keep this up. Of course, the air defense side from Israel and then, of course, Iran. Their ability to wage war, which we know has been degraded, but serious questions still remain about their ability to penetrate and these air defenses of the US and our allies, and also to be able to strike targets specifically with these cluster munitions. And the great Trey Youngst has been there on the ground, my former colleague, and he has been documenting this day in and day out of the civilian areas in many places in Israel that have been struck by these Iranian missiles and cluster munitions. We're also seeing, of course, real questions about the talks that are happening and news that I saw this morning that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are reportedly now on the ground in Islamabad, Pakistan. So they are there. They are directly on the border of Iran itself. Bold move, ballsy move, being willing to go to the region in the middle of the all of this knowing that the Ayatollah had just been assassinated a couple of weeks ago. This shows, I think this absolutely shows that the Trump administration is more than willing to take these talks seriously, but at the same time, also willing to go up the escalation ladder. And we're also seeing reports of 82nd Airborne was talking about that yesterday. Now that's starting to come out that the 82nd Airborne may have been called up. We know that two Marine Expeditionary Units from the USS Boxer LHA, as well as the USS Tripoli are on their way to the Persian Gulf. Does that mean a possible land invasion of Iran to take place? You know, certainly not within the same scope of the Iraq invasion or Afghanistan in terms of trying to occupy the country. But perhaps an operation in the Strait of Hormuz is in the works. Or for Kharga island, of course, which would be much trickier, or possibly both. Maybe send the 82nd to Cargill island and you send the Marines to the Strait of Hormuz. I haven't. I haven't heard of this from anyone. I'm not speaking from any specific reporting that I've done on this. And I'll tell you. But of course, we're working to find this out. Last night, I was honored to participate in the Turning Point USA Pick up the Mic tour at Arizona State University. We had an incredible event. There we go. Had great students to come out. We're going to get you guys more footage of that when it comes. We didn't live stream because that's, you know, Charlie. Charlie's tradition was not to live stream them, but to break them up into the clips that come out. And so we're going to continue that. And here's just. Just a little bit of footage. It was myself, Blake Neff. Were there great questions from the students? You know, definitely had some. Some tough questions, but we also had some good questions. We had people on the left, we had people on the right, we had people in the middle, people up top, people down below, from all different sides. It was great to be there and of course, honored to always be able to work with Turning Point USA and in any way help to carry on the mission of Charlie Kirk. Right back. Jack Posobi, Cuban Events Daily.

We'll stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.

B (7:33)

This is Human Events with Jack Posoba.

A (7:35)

Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution.

C (7:45)

Today. You know, they talk about influencers. These are influencers, and they're friends of mine. Jack. Where's Jack? Jack. He's got a great job.

A (8:00)

All right, folks are back here. Human Events Daily. Real America's voice. Folks, I got to say, if you're anything like me, we know the holidays be a little bit brutal. Every healthy habit gone. Desserts, late nights, they get skipped. We know it. You know, the workouts, these, you know, it doesn't work. But now that we're in the new year, it's time to reset. Let's undo all of that. Let's make a New Year's resolution to actually give Our bodies, what they need. For me and my family, that fresh start begins with. With COVID Pure. Here's the thing. Everybody jumps into the new year, buying new supplements, trying a new diet or maybe workouts. But they miss the completely most important, basic thing, your water. Even mild dehydration, it will impact your energy, your focus, your metabolism. When you think about all the garbage that's in our water already, you're starting behind the curve before you even begin. So use CO pur's Clear Wave technology, which is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants. Pretty much anything that isn't in your water. Pfas, microplastics, pharmaceutical residue, fluoride, it all gets removed. This is the purest water you can get. What I love most about Cov Pure is that it lets you choose the temperature of your water. Hot, cold, warm. And it makes your water taste so good. Pure, clean, no aftertaste. Cove Pure makes it so easy to get pure water with the push of a button. So this year, make a New Year's resolution that sticks. Improve your health with clean water. Right now, you can get $200 off for a limited time if you use my link copure.com/poso that c o v e p u r e.com/poso to start the new year. Right. All right, folks, so President Trump expected, expected to speak. So actually he's speaking right now. I see there he's going to be going to be swearing in Mark Wayne Mullen as the new Secretary Homeland Security. And we are going to take that here at the top for on RAV and for our own broadcast. What we'll do is we're told the President might be making some announcements, might be taking some questions. So we are going to work on that. And if the President does go to make those remarks or make an announcement, we will be taking that. In the meantime, I still wanted to talk about what's going on with Iran. I still wanted to get into that situation. And we're bringing back yet again Fleximus Maximus himself, Malcolm Flex joins us here on Human Events. What's up, Flex?

E (10:32)

Oh, man. Jack, I'm gonna need some of these decades of news to stop happening these coming weeks. Man, we got to stop meeting up like this. It's getting crazy.

A (10:41)

So you. So you told me last week that you said, I think we're going up the escalation ladder. And then over the weekend, we saw Israel bombed very close by the Bushier nuclear reactor as well as Natanz nuclear reactor. And nuclear research center in Iran. Iran responds by sending their advanced ballistic missiles with which some say include hypersonic glide vehicle technology to be able to pierce through that Iron Dome. And where do they target that? Oh, right, Dimona, which is in southern Israel in the Negev Desert, very close to where Israel has their nuclear reactor and reportedly may actually have their stockpile of nuclear weapons. So. Oh good. Here's that escalation ladder that we had warned about. And that's exactly what we're starting to see. These tit for tat. We hit you here, you hit us there, you hit this refinery, hit our refinery, you hit your gas, your gas field, we hit your, you know, your allies gas field. And back and forth and back and forth is what are we learning from this? And let me just go back to a second and ask this question because we were told early on that Iran was running out of missiles the same way they said Russia was running out of missiles in the first couple of weeks. How is it that they're able to still respond at the way that they are? And how is it that it's, it seems to me, and you look at some of the numbers that their missiles are actually landing with more precision than when they did in the early days?

E (12:14)

Well, part of it's going to be again is based on sort of intelligence assessments of capabilities and you know, what Iran lets you know and what they don't necessarily let you know. I'm not saying that Iran's like this amazing military super power and we've just been completely caught off guard necessarily. But if you actually look, you know, there are reports that in Diego Garcia, which is out near the Indo Pacific, actually Iran had intermediate range ballistic missiles actually land out there in that 4,000kilometer space. That's something that we didn't even know they had. So what I'm saying is that, you know, if they're pulling out some capability that we necessarily don't qualify quite know about them, that means that the conflict itself is even more intense, especially now that we're hearing threats of civilian infrastructure being targeted. That lets us know that what we believe Iran's intentions are, are that much more severe. Sounds like total war to me. And you know, it gets even crazier when you think Iran's first strikes. And this goes back to the point where you said that, you know, they're, they're sounding very precise when they're hitting these targets. Well, yeah, they took out a lot of our radars and a lot of our imaging capabilities. Meanwhile, they're still, you know, again, nothing is moved around necessarily as far as where they're landing strikes at in Israel, especially these metropolitan areas, it's pretty easy, easy to get a hit if they're not intercepted. So that being said, you know, the conflict is going to get pretty intense. And you know, I think Trump joining in right now, you know, he's honestly ratcheting it up, which lets me know that, hey, we're trying to get them to back down or something and we need it to happen quickly because otherwise it's going to spiral out of control. And that's, you know, just saying, you know, from Tel Aviv side as well as the Tehran side.

A (14:06)

And, and this is something that, that I want to hit on as well is that there are, there were these assessments whether it's dia, whether it's whoever, you know, part of some of the three letter agencies that I, I know well from, you know, having been in this world that look, there are times where we assess capabilities and your information is only as good as your input, as your sourcing as what you know. And we know that what is Iran done? They have been planning and preparing for this very type of operation since 1979. And their ability to camouflage to mass capabilities and also to just in general hide the level and the location of their capabilities. Look, this is a mountainous area and this is a desert area. And what have they been using? They've been using the terrain to their advantage, building these bunkers deep underground. That's where by the way, we're told that the uranium, the enriched uranium still resides. I believe it's in liquid form and it's, you know, the bunkers were able to take out the entrances and some of the access ways to the facility, the research facilities for enriching uranium. But the uranium itself was not destroyed. It is still there. So I say that, you know, when you take that logic, you, you also have to then apply that to these missile silos or what they call them, the missile cities and drone cities, that they have thousands of them underneath this extremely mountainous area. And that's, that doesn't take away anything from the capabilities of the United States government. The United States military? No, by far, I would not say that. I'm just saying this is an extremely complicated problem set 1 buy in the military knows that they are going to have to deal with in a different way than simply just, you know, just airstrikes because you just don't know what's down in those tunnels. And this is exactly, by the way, this is exactly something that was brought up. President Trump actually nixed this back during the 12 day war that Israel had suggested at one point that there, there be a joint IDF US raid on those facilities so that you could secure the uranium. And of course, getting into them highly defended at the time would certainly be a risky operation to say the least. But, but flex, talk to us a little bit about how just, just Iran has been using this defense in depth and the terrain to their advantage to hide their capabilities.

E (16:25)

Yeah, well, part of the issue when it comes to conducting air campaigns and using large munitions, you know, over distances, is that if your opponent knows and has any ability to move where they're launching, where they're attacking from, then, you know, you're pretty darn lim. If we're talking about natural structures, things that can withstand bunker busting munitions, munitions of certain amounts of tons of, you know, force. We're, you know, this is ancient ground. So I don't say that just so, you know, kind of sound dramatic. I said to say that, you know, this is very hardened terrain. It's going to be able to have a certain level of structural integrity. And that's not even talking about the ultra high performance concrete that they probably reinforce some of these structures with. So if you're going to get in there, you can't take a sledgehammer. If the sledgehammer is literally going against impact resistant concrete and you know, ground that's withstood millennia and basically at ages to harden, what you're going to end up having to do and I, you know, God forbid this happened, I hate this. But we're seeing it right now with the ME you know, with the Marine Expeditionary Units en route, is that you need more options. I liken it to a massive barbecue joint that's like several stories tall versus a buffet. Right now Iran has a buffet. It might be a small country buffet, but they've got a bunch of options that they can do to hamper the United States assault. We only have one option, which is a very big option, but, you know, it's only one option and that is, you know, basically we're, we're having to just strike at it from the air. So the Marine Expeditionary Unit gives you more options on the table. If we're talking about conducting warfare or we're talking about getting in and holding territory. Now where they go from there and what their use is, I don't necessarily know. But that, you know, again, you've got missile cities, you've got underground facilities, you've got all of these natural advantages, terrain wise that again, unless you're going to pull out something that is, you know, beyond the pale, you're not going to be able to just basically achieve your win. Condition of, quote, unquote, either gene change or neutralization from the air now. And so we're seeing that. And we're also seeing that the markets are taking notice with Brent, With Brent crude oil basically going bonkers right now. So a lot of people are kind of on edge. And I think that's part of where Trump's gambit fits in, where he's threatening total annihilation at this point, or obliteration. Let me. Let me get my Asians.

A (18:59)

Right, right, right. No, it's, it's, it's not denial. It is destruction. Jack Sobeck. Malcolm Flex Back. Next. Human events Daily.

F (19:38)

So help me God.

B (19:39)

Congratulations, Secretary.

F (19:53)

Thank you. I think that was the most nervous I've ever been. I don't. It just seems surreal, being in the Oval Office and having the President of the United States speak so highly of me and then recognize my family and know my family by name. It's. It's humbling and. And I never take it for granted, but I made this very clear that I don't care what color your state is. I don't care if you're red or you're blue. At the end of the day, my job is to be Secretary of Homeland and to protect everybody the same. And we will do that. I'll fight every single day. Today I got the privilege of meeting so many of the employees at DHS. These employees have been there for 30 days without pay. And if you need anything to know their dedication to show up and still protect the homeland that you and I enjoy and the freedoms that we're experiencing, they're working with for free because of political politics. That's all I need to know. I told him, if you're fighting 365 days, understand, I'll be fighting 360 days. 365 days besides you. No one's gonna outwork me, and I'm not gonna let any of them outwork me. The President has entrusted me with this, and failure is not an option. So thank you so much, Mr. President, for this opportunity. I won't let you down.

C (21:12)

Thank you very much. I love that expression. No one's going to outwork me. That's a wrestler's expression, isn't it? Huh? That's a good wrestler's expression. Yes.

B (21:24)

Please, Mr. President, will the secretary's replacement in the Senate support the SAVE act and the use of the talking filibuster to get it through?

C (21:31)

Well, it's not the SAVE Act. It's not called. It's called the Save America Act. There's a big difference. Because the SAVE act, nobody knows what that means. Save America means Save America. And I can't speak for him, but I would imagine that Mark Wayne. I didn't even ask him the question because who wouldn't support it? Voter ID with a picture. You want citizenship, proof of citizenship. Ideally, you want to end mail in ballots because there's tremendous corruption. Then we added a couple of things. Mark Wayne, like, I don't think being a great athlete and having a family of great athletes, they have produced great athletes in this family, all American wrestlers. They especially like wrestling, by the way. And what about baseball? Do you play baseball? Anything? They like wrestling. But I don't think that you would say that his family. And I don't know this for a fact, and I shouldn't say it because I could get myself. Does anybody in your family want men to play in women's sports? I don't think so, Jim. Right? I don't think so. I don't think. How would they do. Would they do good wrestling? You. They would be in trouble. He said yes. They'd be in big trouble. It's so crazy. So that would be one. And then we have a few others that we. We call them the best of, best of Trump. But if you look at transgender mutilization of children, we don't want that. It's the mutilization of children. We don't want that. So generally speaking, I think I can answer that. Mark Wayne would be very much in favor of what I'm in favor of. Would you say that's right, Mark? I can't think of too many things. He might be worse. He might be worse than me. That's my. Look at. His wife is saying, that's right. But. So, yeah, he's going to be great. Yeah.

B (23:14)

Do you believe the secretary will run DHS any differently than Kristi Noem did? What do you hope to see as his priorities?

C (23:20)

Well, we had a good run. Look, we created the strongest border with the help of that man right there. Tom is so incredible. And he's going to be a big influence here, too. There's nobody more professional, nobody better. There's nobody better as a human being. You know, he looks tough, but he's got a good heart. But not too good. Don't make it too good. But, you know, we had. Tom, we have the safest border we've ever had. We have a lot of assets, but a lot of things we can, we can do and we're going to do. We have to get criminals out of our country that were allowed in by Biden. Yeah. Please.

A (23:57)

Mr. President, do you support the what appears to be emerging agreement coming out of the Senate to reopen?

C (24:03)

Well, I'm going to look at it and we're going to take a good, hard look at it. I want to support Republicans. And, you know, sometimes it's awfully hard to get votes when you have Democrats that don't want to have voter id, they don't want to have proof of citizenship, they don't want to do anything about men playing in women's sports. That's one of the items we put on. You know, and I did that just because it's so popular. You know, they say that's at least an 8020 issue. No, it's about a 99 one. I don't think it's. What do you think? Do you think it's 8020? Who's closer, 8020 or 99 1? Almost 100. Yeah, I think 100 is really the. So, you know, so. So I support that and I support common sense, which.

B (24:43)

Would you be comfortable with a deal that involves separating ICE funding from the DHS funding package in order to reopen?

C (24:49)

Well, they're working on all of that. You know, that's a detail that they'll explain later. Please.

B (24:53)

Integrity and DHS measures. Mr. President, since size falls under DHS, and given that many credible voices have raised concerns over its premature and possibly faulty, likely faulty 2020 election assessment. Will UN Secretary Mullen implement reforms that size, I mean, at DHS, to ensure full confidence in future elections, like in the upcoming.

C (25:12)

I'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. You know, pros and cons. Look, they used it to try and put me in prison, right? So I can't be thrilled with it. They used that very strongly, very illegally. The Democrats are thugs, and I don't want to say that it would be nice to everyone get along, but it's a different country than it was years ago. It was very dangerous the way they used it. And they weaponize government. They use that to weaponize government. So I'm not thrilled. But I'll also go along with two groups of people, the military. And I think the military likes it. Right. And I'll go along with the senators. It's, I'm fine. But I was a big victim of it. Yeah, please.

D (25:52)

Are you going to send Jared Kushner

F (25:54)

and Steve Witkoff to do direct negotiations with the Iranians?

C (25:57)

Yeah, well, we're in negotiations, as it turned out. And now you've seen what I said yesterday was exactly correct. We're in negotiations right now. They're doing it along with Marco. J.D. we have a number of people doing it. And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal. And who wouldn't if you were there? Look, their navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their communications are gone. That's the biggest problem. It's very hard to communicate them between themselves. All of the anti aircraft is gone. Most of their missiles are gone. We shot, either shot them or they shot them and don't have them anymore. They're down to a trickle. They're pretty much everything they have is gone. I don't know. Can you name one thing that's not gone, or can you name one thing that's doing well? You know, if you read the papers, you think we're tied. You think we're in a tough battle. We are roaming free over Tehran, the city, Tehran, as opposed to Iran. We're roaming free. We can do whatever we want. And as you know, today we were going to have the privilege of shooting down a very big electric generation plant, one of the biggest in the world. And one shot to the right location ends the plant, it collapses. And we held off based on the fact that we're negotiating.

B (27:19)

What do you think was the turning point to make you want to pursue a ceasefire? A few days ago, you know, you said you wanted to continue bombing Iran. Now you want to pursue peace talks. Was there something that happened?

C (27:29)

The fact that they're talking to us and they're talking sense, and remember, it all starts with they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Just, you know, I said yesterday, what are. They said, what are the top 10? I said, well, number one, two and three is they can't have a nuclear weapon and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. And we're talking about that. I don't want to say in advance, but they've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that.

B (27:54)

How do you ensure they won't have a nuclear weapon. Your former border patrol chief Greg Bevino said his only regret is that he didn't catch more illegal aliens. What's your reaction to that?

C (28:05)

Who said that?

B (28:06)

That's your former border patrol chief. He just retired.

C (28:11)

Well, I mean, we captured a lot. You know, they were allowed into the country by Sleepy Joe and that group of incompetent people that were the worst president ever. The group of incompetent people. To me that's the biggest scar, you know, inflation. They caused the highest inflation we've ever had. We've already gotten rid of it. The biggest scar is what they did. The people that they allowed from prisons all over the world, they came from the Congo, from all over South America. Rough, rough, rough people. Really tough people. So, no, I understand what he means. He says, you know, he would have liked to have captured more. I'm not capturing so much as removing, you know, removing thousands of people. And many are self deporting because we're going after them so powerfully that they're self deporting. Tom, going back, I think that's one of the big unkept secrets. It's, it's. We have thousands and thousands of people and they're self deporting. They're going back to where they came from. But what we want really is the criminals. We're really focused on those criminals, getting them out. Yeah.

B (29:14)

What's your message right now to Democrats and also to Americans that are stuck in airports? It's really devastating watching it online because Democrats won't fund dhs.

C (29:23)

What. What's devastating to Americans right now stuck

B (29:25)

in airports as we speak because Democrats will.

C (29:27)

Well, they just don't. They won't. Look, this is a deal that was done in the great big beautiful deal which gave you the biggest tax cuts ever, including no tax on tips and no tax on Social Security for the seniors. Think of it. No tax on overtime, tax deductions. When you buy a car, you take money, pay interest on the money, you deduct it. We've never had that for people buying cars. If it's an American car. Only if it's an American car. But they are just what they're. They stick together, the Democrats, I tell you, I give them great credit for that. We have some that will. They're not good stickers. We have guys like Tom Massie in Congress who's terrible. He's just terrible, terrible person. I call him Rand Paul Jr. But they don't vote Rand Paul. I mean, rarely votes for stuff likes me, says I'm a great president. He said the other day. I'm a great president, one of the greatest presidents. But I said, do me a favor, vote for us and don't call me a great. I'd rather have the vote than the statement. But we have people that don't stick together, and those people hopefully will someday be gone. The thing I most respect about the Democrats, even on horrible policy, they stick together. What they do have, though, is horrible policy. Transgender for everyone, open borders, men in women's sports. They have the worst policy that you can imagine. And so whether they stick together or not, I mean, they have just this terrible policy. We have great policy. Republicans have great policy. We have common sense policy. But it's great policy. That's our biggest advantage, is our policy is correct. Yeah. Please, the president.

B (31:14)

Are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more involved in the Iran operation?

C (31:19)

Say it.

B (31:19)

Are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more involved in the Iran operation?

C (31:23)

Yeah, I mean, a little bit, but more. More NATO. I think our Gulf allies have been pretty good, to be honest with you. UAE has been hit so hard. He got hit by 1,400 rockets. Shot them all out of the air with our great. With our great Patriot missiles. Think of it. They shot 100 missiles at one of our aircraft carriers, the Abraham Lincoln, one of the biggest ships in the world, actually. And out of 101 missiles shot, every single one of them was knocked down in the sea. Think of that. Think of what that means. 101 missiles, highly sophisticated, very fast missiles, shot out of 101. All 101 were shot down. And now, for the most part, lie at the bottom of the sea. Pretty amazing, right? Pretty amazing. Our military is amazing. Pete, you know the attack I'm talking about recently, 101 shot. I said, wow, I saw that. You can see we have sort of pretty good equipment that we see. It's called the red line. Those red lines were thick, right? I said, that's a lot. And then we saw them one by one just get shot. And these guys that do the shooting are the coolest cucumbers ever. You know, most people, you don't have a lot of time when a missile is going at 2,500 miles an hour. I don't care how far away it is, you don't have a lot of time. But I watch them. I watch them sit down and think. Great students. MITs. A lot of MITs. A lot of guys like this are not as much into the muscle as they are. This one right here. And amazing to watch them perform under great pressure because they have a matter of seconds to do it. If they don't do it properly, it's a big problem, you know, because these were powerful. These were very powerful missiles coming. And so a lot of people choke. They don't choke. These guys don't choke. They're the best in the world. We have. The best in the world. Yeah. Mr. President, what would be your message today to the TSA agents who have been staying home in recent days amid this impact? Well, some of them are needing money, you know, because the Democrats cut off their money. I blame the Democrats more than anything else. But some of them, you know, they didn't get paid because they're not funded by the Democrats. This is a Democrat problem. In fact, I actually said to the Senate, why would you. This is a Democrat problem. I think the polls are showing us a Democrat problem. And they'll do anything, actually, to hurt our country so they can try and win the midterms. And if we ever went back to our old policies, we wouldn't have a country left. If they get a deal, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to fund all but enforcement operations of ICE to get those TSA agents repaid and to open up the rest of the department.

A (34:17)

Would you sign that?

C (34:18)

Well, I don't want to comment until I see the deal. But as you know, they're negotiating a deal. I guess they're getting fairly close, but I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it. These guys came in, they wouldn't pay people, you know, they had a deal to pay. They had to break their deal. The Democrats broke the deal that we had. It was all done. Everything was fine. And then they just said, well, we're not going to pay anymore. And they hurt our country and at a very difficult time because, you know, we are at, as they would say, a war. They call it a war. I call it a military operation. A very successful one. Like, successful like nobody's ever seen before. Hey, Venezuela was equally as successful. That's a great. That was a great thing. No, the Democrats had a deal. It was a done deal. And then they said, well, we're not going to pay. And so they. A lot of people suffered over that and put our country in danger. You have another question you haven't been here in a while. Well, on Iran, can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it is either Witkoff or Kushner and others are speaking with? Yeah, we had, I hate to say this, in front of these young people. They're not children. I spoke to most of them. They sound like adults to me, even though they are sort of children. Right? They'll always be your children. But I hate to say it, but we killed all their leadership, and then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them. And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that, but let's see how they turn out. It's. We have really regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was. I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change. Right. What makes you trust them? I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you. I mean, that's only because I know you. But if I didn't know you, I'd probably have more trust. But I don't trust anyone. Why bother. Why do you. Why do you say that? Why do you say. What makes you. Do you think I trust them? I don't trust them. Why bother talking to them? Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present, and the president arrived today, and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize, and they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me. We're dealing with the right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people because, you know, you don't know, because the leadership was killed. All gone. Khomeini, all gone. As the expression goes, the past supreme leader and then the new supreme leader was racked up. At a minimum, racked up pretty good. And everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier are gone. But we're dealing with a group of people that I think turn out, and the. The president, the gift they made to us was very significant, and they said they were going to do it, and it happened, and they're the only ones they could have done it. Jennifer, was it related to the Strait

B (37:49)

of Hormuz and the flow of.

C (37:50)

Yeah, it was related to the flow and to the strait. Yeah, it was.

B (37:54)

Are you negotiating on who's going to Control the strait from now on.

C (37:57)

No, we're going to. We'll have control of anything we want. Look, if we can end this without more lives being down, without knocking out $10 billion electric plants that are brand new and the apple of their eye, I'd like to be able to do that, you know, but we. They can't have certain things. I mean, you know, the things. I don't have to go over the list, but again, it starts with no nuclear weapons. And they've agreed to that. There won't be any nuclear weapons. They're not going to have. And they're not going to have enrichment, any of those things. But look, I hate to say that we're in a very good bargaining position, but, and I hate to say that they're defenseless because, you know, until that last missile is fired, they have little power. But we are in about the best bargaining position. We're way ahead of schedule. And again, they have no navy and they have no air force and they have no missile protection. And most of their missiles are gone. Most of their launches. We've killed, you know, we've killed about 82% of their launchers. So even if they had a missile, they can't launch it. We've been very. We have the greatest military in the world. Nobody even comes close. We have the best military equipment in the world. Go ahead.

B (39:15)

On Saudi Arabia, there's been some reporting that you've been talking to the crown prince. Have you been focused on normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel at this point?

C (39:25)

We have a great relationship with Saudi Arabia. What do you hear with Saudi Arabia?

B (39:29)

Just hearing that you've been talking and that he has been encouraging you to do certain things related to Iran. Can you share?

C (39:35)

He's a warrior. He does. Yeah, he's a warrior. He's fighting with us. By the way, Saudi Arabia has been excellent and UAE excellent. And I will tell you, Qatar, incredible. Qatar took a hit. Pretty bad hit. Qatar is very close. You know, they're essentially, you can walk right over the border. Qatar took a hit. They've been great. They've been very strong. Kuwait, they had a little mishap. They shot down three planes with our missiles. They happen to be our planes. But the pilots made it. Can you imagine the pilots making it? The pilots saw what was coming and they said, those are patriots. We're not going to escape patriots. And they got out of there pretty quick, Pete. Right. Pretty amazing that they got out. The three pilots lived. They're fine. In fact, they're flying today it was the Kuwaitis that accidentally fired the missile. Yeah, the Kuwaitis made a mistake. They fired. They thought they were firing at the enemy. It was, as the expression goes, friendly fire. But the pilots are great. They're flying today. Pretty amazing when you think of it. Yeah.

B (40:41)

President Trump, on a human level, how hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out? Like, as a human.

C (40:47)

As on what?

B (40:49)

On a human level, not as the President of the United States. How hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out with Iran?

C (40:56)

You're talking about to end it? Well, I think we're going to end it. I can't tell you for sure. You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this. This war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. I mean, the New York Times. You read the New York Times. It's like, we're not winning a war where they have no navy and they have no air force, and they have no nothing, and we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country. They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big, powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it. It's like, take me. That's all they can do. And yet, if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC Fake News or NBC Fake News, you'd say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. They're totally defeated. You know, we kill the Navy. And would you say three days, Pete gone? In fact, I was a little upset with Pete. I said, why didn't you save the ships? We could have used them. Right. He said, it's more fun shooting them down. But the Navy was. The Navy was wiped out in a very rapid order. Pretty impressive for you guys, you champion wrestlers. Right? When you hear this stuff. But you don't. If you read the news, you don't hear this. You know, you read like, oh, they're doing wonderfully. They're doing terribly. They're wiped out militarily. They are dead. Yeah.

B (42:22)

On Ukraine. Is there a new sense of a timeline? Do you want to get something done before the midterms?

C (42:27)

Well, I'd like to see President Putin and President Zelensky sit down and make a deal. I think they're getting close, but I've been saying that for a while. I've settled eight wars. All of them should have been more difficult than this one. This should have been the easiest one. But These are two people that truly hate each other. You'll find out that hatred is not good for making deals. These are people that they don't like each other very much. Yeah, I know.

B (42:53)

You said there's a bunch of people from the administration who are negotiating with Iran. There's been reports that the Vice President is leading those negotiations. Is that true?

C (43:02)

Well, he's involved in them. JD Is involved and Marco is involved. And Jared Kushner is involved. Very smart guy. And Steve Witkoff, smart guy, is involved. And I'm involved. I'm involved. Why I'm going to be so big. Oh, I don't want to talk about it. I'm the President of the United States, Tom, and I'm not going to talk about it. It's beneath me to talk about saving millions of lives because that's what you're talking about. You're talking about saving millions of lives. If Iran had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it. And if I didn't end the horrible Barack Hussein Obama Iran nuclear deal in my first administration, they would have had a nuclear weapon three or four years ago, they would have used it. I would have never gotten the chance probably to be president. Who knows if it would have been so devastating. And if we didn't send those beautiful B2 bombers, they took them off my desk. They were right there. I don't know why, but if we didn't have those, the B2 hit, which was so we obliterated, despite CNN. CNN said, well, maybe the word obliteration said, no, no, we obliterated it. Just obliterated their nuclear potential. You would have had them having two weeks after that attack, had we not made the attack, they would have had a nuclear weapon. They would have absolutely used it. And they would have used it on the entire Middle east, including Israel. And do you know why you see that? Because unexpectedly, when this war broke out, unexpectedly, they started sending missiles to uae, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and elsewhere. And nobody thought they were going to. Were you equally surprised by that, Pete?

F (44:53)

Way more than we thought.

C (44:54)

Was the President. Pete, do you want to give about a 3 minute statement on how we're doing in this, as I call it, military operation? People don't like me using the word war, but. So I won't. But the Democrats go out of war. How about a little statement? I think he's done a very good job. Do we agree he's done a good job? Mark Wett, can we take some of your time?

D (45:19)

Well, thank you, Mr. President. You're spot on. Never in history has a modern military. Iran had a modern military, a modern navy, a modern air force, modern air defenses, leadership, massive bunkers. Never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower. The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel has conducted alongside us, was one for the history books, truly. And it's because we have a President of the United States that when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice. As we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the president talked about. About your future, the president has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The War Department agrees our job is to ensure that. And so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as long as. As hard as is necessary to ensure the interests of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield. This is not Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not a president who's interested in vague end states. He's been very clear with us about what we need to accomplish, creating the conditions for them never to have a nuclear capability. And that's exactly what we're doing in historic fashion.

C (46:39)

Thank you, Mr. President. Appreciate it. Thank you, Richard. You know, the only two people that were quite disappointed. I don't want to say this, but I have to. I said Pete and General Raisin Cain. I think this thing is going to be settled very soon. Here they go. Oh, that's too bad. Pete didn't want it to be settled. It's. These guys are doing a great job. That's a good attitude though, Tom. Right. They were not interested in settlement. They were interested in just winning this thing. Yeah.

B (47:11)

Please, Mr. President, can you just taking things locally, hopefully not doing international affairs for a second. Do you support the construction of the Second Avenue subway in New York City? And will your administration.

C (47:23)

Far out. You know, the Second Avenue subway's been under construction for. For. You're a young guy. Is longer than you are old. Okay. Huh? That's been under construction. I haven't heard about the Second Avenue subway in 20 years. What the hell kind of a question is that? I guess you got to get it finished. They spent trillions of dollars practically. No, they spend more money on that than on anything, I think in the history of our city in New York City. And it's been under construction for a long Time. It's very sad, actually. The only thing, maybe worse was Gavin Newscomb, the governor of California. His train, I call it his train wreck because it's a wreck that's been years. It's literally 30 times over budget. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And it doesn't go to San Francisco and Los Angeles like it was supposed to. They decided to cut it way short because there was no way they could finish it. But it's one of the worst. I've never seen anything like it. Other than the worst. The Federal Reserve building for almost $4 billion. Little building that's going to cost a renovation for $4 billion headed by our highly incompetent head of the Federal reserve.

B (48:41)

Yeah, please, Mr. President, would you be open? Are you hoping to see the Senate pursue reconciliation 2.0 to fund ICE and pass the Save America?

C (48:49)

Well, we'll see about reconciliation. We're certainly talking about reconciliation. I think Mark Wayne. Right. Do you want to talk about that for a second? Now that he's working, we can get him to do this.

F (49:01)

Thank you. Lindsey Graham, the chairman, where the commit. Where the reconciliation will funnel through. He is committed to making sure we get reconciliation through, if that is in some form with funding ice, possibly backfilling from the one big beautiful bill. But also more importantly, the Save American Act. There's a framework that we can do through reconciliation. Paying for it, put some of the policies that cost money in, because there's nothing more important than Save American Act. I mean, that's what the American people want. There's 80% of the population say they want only Americans voting, citizens that are registered to vote, citizens that have done it the right way. And. And I believe that everybody wants an election integrity. So fortunately, Lindsey Graham has said through reconciliation, he's willing to put the framework out for that.

C (49:55)

And I think that was said so beautifully, so concisely. So well, your father. That we should let him have the last word. And that was it. That was the last word. Did he do a good job? Are you impressed with your father? Never been more impressive than anybody in my life. How about me? Don't answer. Don't answer. Don't answer. No. You like your father better. Okay, Come here. Come here. Look at this guy. Come here. This guy. Don't wrestle him. We'll steal over here. All right. I want to thank the family, because without the family, he's not here. You know, he's a different person. And that goes especially for mom, who looks like she's about 22 years old. I Don't know. I see these kids, but she looks very young, but it's a great couple. Congratulations to you both. Thank you. Thank you.

F (50:49)

Mark Lee, thank you so much.

C (50:54)

Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.

A (51:21)

All right, guys, Jack Krasobic, we're back here. Saw President Trump there taking his Q and A about everything that is going on under the sun. We're seeing his, his comments, we're seeing his, you know, his, his work regarding of course, Secretary Mullen coming in there. We're seeing, of course, his response to, to Iran, to the war that's going on, the war effort, whether or not we're going to have those boots on the ground, whether or not the information is coming out. And I also want to throw out, by the way, this breaking news that we are seeing this out of The Guardian that J.D. vance, vice president, United States has potentially been routed to Pakistan and, or potentially could be routed to Pakistan. It says Pakistani sources tell the Guardian that US Vice President J.D. vance was being put forward as a probable chief negotiator from the US Side of talks. Go ahead. Iranian sources have said they refused to sit down with Trump's Middle east envoy Wyckoff or Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, who led the previous nuclear negotiations with Iran before the war. So I'm parsing this to see whether or not JD has actually been sent to Pakistan and need to figure out exactly where we're looking at with this. But potentially, potentially seeing JD vans, we could see the vice president actually head over to Pakistan, which of course, if, if that took place would be an incredibly, an incredibly strong move for the vice president to go, sitting vice president to go in extremely close proximity to a war zone in the middle of a shooting war between the and guys, if you want to show, just throw up the map of the, of the Gulf here real quickly to let you see that Pakistan sits immediately outside the Strait of Hormuz. You're talking about territory that is very, very, we can't see Pakistan on this map, but this is very, very close to the mouth of the street of Hormuz on what's called the Gulf of Aden and into the wider Indian Ocean. So should the vice president head out there, that would be an extremely bold move for the vice president and it would certainly burnish his credentials. And we know that he has been someone who has been in the anti war camp in general in the past. He's someone who's spoken out against regime change, wars, although at the same time he himself of course, being a veteran and being a Marine. Remember, once a Marine, always a Marine. No such thing as a former Marine. This would be an extremely high profile assignment for the vice president and we will see, of course, he, if this does come to fruition, we would certainly pray for, for peace. We also pray for the safety of the vice president and the team as they go over. Reading through the article some more, it says that it sounds like this is coming from the Pakistan side, so not from the US Side. But it says that Islamabad has yet to be officially confirmed as the venue for any talks, which neither side has formally agreed to so far. Qatar, Turkey and Egypt have also been touted as other venues, but sources say that Tehran's preference was Islamabad. So you're seeing that potential, potential olive branch from Iran regarding negotiations in Pakistan. This, of course, is still moving situation and we here at Human Events will always stand ready to give you the latest whenever it takes place. You just heard from the president and potentially we could be hearing or seeing the vice president making some moves here very soon. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.

C (55:30)

Sam.
