Does Trump have a massive breakthrough in the Iran war? Has he gotten the concession necessary to wrap this whole thing up and take a victory lap along with it? Let's dive into that. Also, ICE deployed to airports. Linda, the caller on Clay Ann Buck changing the course of American history. Even on the late night talk shows, they are paying homage of sorts to Linda's brilliance. We will talk about that as well. But let's first start with this. President Trump saying earlier today that Iran has agreed to his biggest demand. He says, quote, they will never have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that. Now, Tehran is not saying this publicly, so it's not yet confirmed. Here's something you got to know about Trump. The way he negotiates is to just have a constant fusillade of carrots and sticks. It's threats and sweet, sweet nothings and sweet inducements. And, you know, it's promises of good things, it's retribution, bad things. On the other side, he just off balances anybody who tries to put him into a corner. Nobody puts Trump in a corner. And that's what he's doing with the Iranian interlocutors here or the people that are on his behalf negotiating. But understand this, he knows that every public statement is part of that negotiation too. Right? Trump's public pronouncements. When he goes and says, hey, if Iran doesn't do the following, I'm going to bomb them even more to smithereens. He might say that in the White House to a bunch of reporters. The Iranian regime is seeing that, too. They're very aware of this. And they know that a promise that he is making to his supporters, to his voters, to The American people is something that they have to take into account among all the other things going on as well. So this is how Trump does Trumpism when it comes to the international stage. And if he has gotten an agreement that there's no nukes, what I would want to know is how do you enforce that? Or I guess you'd have to have some very specific step by step program of intrusive inspections. I'm not really sure, honestly, no one seems to be really sure. Says Trump has clear he wants Iran to give up all of its nuclear material down to the nuclear dust. We want the nuclear dust, he says we're going to want that. That was what he told reporters earlier today, or earlier yesterday, I should say. Department of War gearing up to send thousands of troops from the 82nd Infantry Division, 82nd Airborne to the Middle East. Pentagon expected to announce this 3,000 person brigade combat team to be deployed. That's the Wall Street Journal reporting. So look, this is, this, this is a group that can, this is a military instrument, a military unit that can get things going very quickly and can deploy a full brigade within 72 hours. So now we're seeing where I think Trump is trying to take all of this, which is to get some kind of an agreement from Iran that will lead to a de escalation of our kinetic strikes, effectively our air campaign, the one way war of sorts that's going on right now, and then to continue to just move forward into a better place for the region and a molocracy that is defanged is the term you keep hearing over and over again. It seems to me that regime change has essentially been, it's not taken off the table. But that's not a condition, that's not a, an ultimate goal anymore of what's going on here. It's just to make sure that Iran cannot realistically, in any timeframe get a nuclear weapon. Now part of this is going to be how much of the nuclear know how do the Iranians still have once the oil starts flowing and the bank accounts start getting filled again in Tehran, then they're going to start building this stuff up. I'm, I'm wondering how a promise to never get a nuclear weapon if you're the, I mean the problem isn't so much that we don't want anyone to have a nuclear weapon in Iran. It's we don't want the people that are currently in charge in Iran. We don't want the Islamic revolution and the IRGC and these mullahs and these, these Wackos to have their finger on the nuclear button. So the issue to me seems to be more the user even than the tool in a sense because eventually I don't see how we can continue to prevent Iran from having nuclear capability down the line if they want to keep pursuing it, at some point they will get to a breakthrough status. Unless we think they're so mic'd up and we're. Our surveillance and intelligence on them is so good, which maybe it is now considering we blew up a meeting full of all their top leadership and the Israelis clearly have mapped out the Iranian human and physical and, you know, geographical terrain. But Trump is saying there's a breakthrough. Is there a breakthrough? It could be part of his gamut here as well. This, this could be Trump doing what Trump does, which is just constantly shift the grounds of the discussion. And he may say there's a breakthrough today and there could be a whole lot of bombing tomorrow. Gotta get the Strait of Hormuz open. Have to get to a place where things are moving to a conclusion here with this Iran conflict. Now our sponsor is Birch Gold. Look, look what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz. A lot of uncertainty out there. And when that happens, you know what happens with gold? Price goes up. Gold is a store of value, particularly in times of economic uncertainty, global upheaval. So buying some gold right now would seem to make a whole lot of sense. And you could even have gold in a tax shelter retirement account if that's what you want to do, if that's right for you. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text my name Buck to 989898 to receive your free info kit on gold. No obligation, just useful information. Text Buck to 9,898 98. Text B U C K to 9,898 98 today. Now I gotta say I love this deployment of ICE officers. Now this comes. Trump says it's his idea, OK? And he's the guy, he's the decider, so in a sense it is his idea. Cuz he had to implement this and go forward with it. And maybe he had the idea before, but Linda, on our show, as we have been talking about, while Clay was taking calls on Friday and I was driving up to a book event, Linda called in with this brilliant idea of why don't you deploy ice to the airports to help out. It has happened. 72 hours from phone call into Clay and Baktu, the White House has the executive branch authority given to DHS to put ICE officers in airports to help out with all of the backlog of travelers trying to get through these TSA checkpoints. This is a brilliant maneuver and it's exactly the kind of problem solving that you want to see from the Trump administration. So I and loving this and also the fact that they're using this as an opportunity so that the American people can see ICE just being helpful, just doing jobs on behalf of the taxpayer, of Americans. Right. Doing things, they're handing out water, they're, they're taking, they're holding spots in line for people that have kids and that they have to take them to the restroom. So because the lines are still very long in some places, but ICE are just there to help out now, I wonder if there's going to be more ICE enforcement operations going on too at these airports. But for right now, the primary mission is clearly to make these lines shorter. And I just have to say for the, for the American people, for anyone who's paying attention to this, it should be so clear that the Democrats are really, their position on so much, their position on all of this stuff is if we can't be in power, we will do anything to make the American people miserable. We will do anything we can touch to inflict pain and then blame the people who are in charge because they couldn't stop the pain that Democrats are inflicting and just hope that this is enough to give them control of the House in the midterms. They have nothing else. You'll notice. They have no ideas. They want to pretend like they're the healthcare party. You know, they're better at healthcare. Obamacare is an abject failure in the most. It's like the Inflation Reduction act that didn't stop inflation at all. Obamacare, the Affordable Care act, made healthcare unaffordable. It did the exact opposite of what the name of the law promised to the American people. And of course what Obama promised and all the rest of it. The whole thing is a farce. It's preposterous. It's made healthcare worse for everyone. And because there's just a refusal to understand that the government isn't going to make this better and the government isn't going to make it more efficient. And really what you're supposed to have here is a bureaucracy of so called experts and technocrats taking health care from you and giving it to other people, including illegal aliens, including people that just arrived here. So you might have to wait in your local ER for six hours if you fall off a ladder and you really need help, but you can sleep well at night knowing that your very high taxes are going to give illegals, you know, heart transplant surgery as soon as they arrive in this country. You know what I'm saying? I mean, it costs about a million dollars, by the way, for a heart transplant, maybe more than that. Now, that's the cost of that kind of a surgery. So, yeah, you would think that more Americans would just be waking up to this. But so much of this stuff with politics is just a function of tribal allegiance for people. You know, I'm on Team Good Guy because I vote Democrat, I'm a nice person, I vote Democrat, it doesn't even matter. You look at the results of the Trump anti crime surge in places like D.C. and Memphis. Huge success. Huge success. Something as objective as fewer people are dead, fewer people got shot because of Trump's utilization of federal law enforcement resources. He was right. The critics were wrong. They don't care. They don't care. And on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they just don't want there to be. First of all, the American people rejected Bidenism, which is just pure open border disaster. 10 million people coming into the country. I mean, the biggest, worst open border, a complete catastrophe for America. That's what happened under Biden. The American people clearly rejected that, rejected Kamala Harris in 24. But now the whole game is, oh, no, we want immigration enforcement. Democrats say we just want it to be nicer. We just, we, we want to see the faces of the ICE officers. We want to have everybody who's going to get deported, even if they're a heinous criminal and an illegal alien. We want to have five hearings, 10 hearings. It's going to, it's got to take. For Democrats will say they agree on enforcing immigration law. It's just going to take 10 years to deport one person, every single person. It's got to take years and years and years, which effectively makes it impossible. That's the whole point. This is what they're doing. This is Alinsky stuff. This is abuse the system. This is make everybody else miserable. And that's what they're doing. So, you know, this has overwhelmed the system and it's just the most obvious stuff with Democrats anyway. They're appalling and that's how I feel about that. That's for sure.
