Political Commentator 1 (2:31)

is spiraling out of control this morning as Iran continues to put the screws in him as they push Forward with their 10 point negotiating framework and hold Donald Trump to it by closing the Strait of Hormuz until Donald Trump agrees that the framework that Trump agreed to is the actual framework. And we're seeing right now the oil markets reacting to the real sit on the ground, not Donald Trump's lies and fraud. And once again, a per barrel of oil has exceeded $100 and the market is recognizing that not only was this a taco, a Trump always chickens out, but a total capitulation, a total surrender by Donald Trump and the United states to Iran's 10 point framework where Iran got everything they wanted. Enriching uranium, control over the Strait of Hormuz. America has to leave its military bases in Middle east full reparations to Iran. And Iran right now is using the Strait of Hormuz as its leverage to enforce those 10 point terms. And they're saying, you know, good luck

Political Commentator 2 (3:46)

if you don't agree with those 10 point terms, we're gonna control the Strait of Hormuz for a long time.

Political Commentator 1 (3:49)

Donald Trump is posting the following this morning. None of these PC Donald Trump is

Political Commentator 2 (3:53)

lashing out at Europe and NATO right now.

Political Commentator 1 (3:55)

That's Donald Trump's response.

Political Commentator 2 (3:57)

None of these people, including our own very disappointing NATO, understood any unless they have pressure placed upon them.

Political Commentator 1 (4:06)

Exclamation point. And then he posts a bizarre AI image of himself and Dana White in front of the White House with weird lightning bolts. Because one of the things that Donald Trump is very excited about is bring

Political Commentator 2 (4:20)

the UFC to Washington D.C. and that's

Political Commentator 1 (4:22)

what Donald Trump really wants to focus on as he destroys American power abroad.

Political Commentator 2 (4:27)

Bring the UFC bring to Washington D.C.

Political Commentator 1 (4:30)

that's what the American people want.

Political Commentator 2 (4:31)

No, the American people want healthcare.

Political Commentator 1 (4:33)

The American people want to be able to afford homes. American people don't want these wars. American people want you to release the Epstein files.

Political Commentator 2 (4:42)

American people just wanna live their lives with normalcy without you destroying it every day. This is just in from a strategic

Political Commentator 1 (4:51)

advisor to Iran's parliament speaker, M.B. golubov.

Political Commentator 2 (4:56)

His name is Mahdi Mohammadi. And here's what he writes. Only a limited number of hours remain without the complete restraint of America's dogs in Lebanon. There will be no ceasefire or negotiations. And the missiles are ready to fly. The Equation of shared destiny among the components of the resistance. Access as part of the new regional order following Iran's victory must be solidified, if possible, with kind words, otherwise with war.

Political Commentator 1 (5:25)

In other words, treat us nicely, Donald,

Political Commentator 2 (5:27)

and say nice things about us because we won this war. And that's how we're viewing it in Iran. That's how they view it in Iran. I don't know how else you could view it any other way, considering Donald Trump agreed to all 10 of Iran's

Political Commentator 1 (5:41)

10 point framework, which was basically surrender by Donald Trump.

Political Commentator 2 (5:45)

We're learning more about the deal as well, that basically the Trump regime begged Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan to allow the United States to fully capitulate. Because I guess Trump's plan is let's agree to the ten point plan and then we'll claim, oh, we didn't really understand it because MB Golubov, Iran's parliament leader, doesn't speak English that well. And so there was reasonable under misunderstandings. And so do you remember when Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan posted like draft for Prime Minister Sharif and it was like literally, New York Times is reporting the US literally wrote a social media post on X which is formerly Twitter. I mean, how pathetic for the Prime Minister of Pakistan to post saying that negotiations were progressing well. And then the US Told Pakistan, just tell Iran that we agree with all 10 of their points and that's ultimately what led to this fake ceasefire that we're in right now. You know, one of the things that Iran is saying is that, Donald, you violated multiple points of our 10 point plan. And clearly Lebanon and Hezbollah read the 10 plan. Let's make reading great again. It said in the 10 point plan that all of the proxy groups of Iran would get security guarantees, including in Lebanon. That means Hezbollah also, you know, Prime Minister Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, he also posted Lebanon is included when he announced a deal was made. And by the way, Iran clearly had Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan post. Lebanon was included because they knew that what was going to happen right after this was announced was the United States and Israel or Israel would go and bomb Lebanon. And yesterday, what, 258 people in Lebanon were killed. It was the biggest massacre in Beirut

Political Commentator 1 (7:39)

since the, you know, in recent memory.

Political Commentator 2 (7:42)

I mean, close to 2,000 casualties, 258 dead, the suburbs of Beirut obliterated. Here you have the parliament leader, M.B. goluboff of Iran.

Political Commentator 1 (7:55)

Here's what he just posted moments ago.

Political Commentator 2 (7:57)

Lebanon and the entire resistance access as Iran's allies form an inseparable part of the ceasefire.1 10 point proposal. He's citing the 10 point proposal. So when Donald Trump's out there saying there's lots of different lists that are circulating, we know the realist. No, the list is out there. We know the 10 points. I've been talking about it on the Midas Touch network every day and I've been talking about it for three weeks cuz it's always been out there. Point two, Prime Minister Sharif publicly and clearly, clearly stressed that clearly stressed the Lebanon issue. There is no room for denial and backtracking. Three cease fire violations carry explicit costs and strong responses. Extinguish the fire immediately and strong is in all caps. Can I just say what a humiliating posture the United States is in right now where you have the parliament leader of Iran or wagging his finger and accurately citing a document that the United States agreed to while Donald Trump saying this guy doesn't know English. That's what JD Vance and I don't think he knows English. Well. Just, just so you know what I'm saying, I showed you a clip of this. This is what the, this is what the Trump regime is going with. There's must have been a misunderstanding in the deal cuz Golubov, I don't think he knows English all that well. We know the ten point plan.

Political Commentator 1 (9:18)

Here's what Golla Bop said here, play this clip.

Political Analyst (9:20)

Lot of agreement. That's point number one. Point number two, to respond to each of those issues it very closely. Let me just say this. I actually wonder how good he is at understanding English because there are things that he said that frankly didn't make sense in some of the, in the context of the negotiations that we've had. But to address the three points, first of all, he talked about an attack that had allegedly happened on Iran and how that was a violation of the ceasefire. Ceasefires are always messy. An hour after the President announced the cease fire, the Iranians launch a bunch of missiles. Then the Israelis responded.

Political Commentator 2 (11:55)

Right now we're hearing from the President of Iran Possession. Here's what he just posted. He said Israel's renewed incursion into Lebanon is a blatant violation of the initial cease fire agreement. This is a dangerous sign of deception and a lack of commitment to potential agreements. The continuation of these actions will render negotiations meaningless. Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers. And again, that responds to another message he posted that the repeated aggression by the Zionist entity against Lebanon is a flagrant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement and a dangerous indicator of deceit and lack of commitment to potential accords. The continuation of these aggressions will render negotiations meaningless. And while they're saying that, just look at the Strait of Hormuz right now. You can see that very few ships are getting through. In any event, here's what a senior Iranian source is telling their state, regime, media about the cease fire. In the best case scenario, here's what Iran's saying. Iran will cap transit through the Strait of Hormuz at fewer than 15 vessels per day, with all passing subject to IRGC approval. Iran says it's mine, the entire Strait of Hormuz. So you got to take the ship right around the coast. So it's super close to Iran where they have direct strike range. If they find that there is any violations of a deal that you have to strike with them where you pay around $2 million per tanker, which was again in the 10 point plan that

Political Commentator 1 (13:31)

Donald Trump agreed to.

Political Commentator 2 (13:32)

He added that the new IRGC Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps transit framework has been officially communicated to regional parties, meaning uae, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain. This is it. Iran is a superpower in the region. That's what they're saying. As a result of the United States catastrophic war. The source said that unfreezing Iran's blocked access is a critical executive guarantee required to uphold the ceasefire and must be delivered within a two week window. Remove all sanctions against Iran. Great work, Donald. The war's end must be codified in a UN Security Council resolution on Iran's terms or Tehran is fully prepared to resume combat against the US and the Zionist regime. In other words, we don't trust Trump to bless the 10 point plan. United States, you're going to have to vote on it in front of the entire world at the United Nations. Tehran insists that during this two week period, the US Cannot increase its true presence in the region on uranium enrichment. Iran remains committed strictly to the text of the exchange agreement. That means they enrich uranium. That's what it said in the ten Point plan.

Verasity Advertiser (14:47)

That's.

Political Commentator 2 (14:48)

Go, read, go back and read the 10 point plan. It says Iran gets to enrich uranium. That's what Trump agreed to. He agreed to it in public. There will be no return to the pre war status quo is what the Iranian regime is saying. And in response to this, Trump goes, okay, time to attack Europe. The US is increasing pressure on its European partners to commit military forces in the Strait of Hormuz. According to information obtained by Spiegel Der Spiegel, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has informed European capitals that Donald Trump expects concrete commitments within the next few days for the deployment of warships or other military capabilities from Europe. Political pledges, such as those made in the day since the start of the war are no longer sufficient. So Donald Trump is saying, send your ships to the Strait of Hormuz right now or else the United States withdraws from NATO. That's how Donald Trump, Trump is reacting to all of this. Meanwhile, you have Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu saying, we Israel still have objectives to complete. We will achieve them either through agreement or by renewing the fight. Right now here on the home front, our GDP growth for fourth quarter has been revised down once again. So the fourth quarter 2025, it was 1.5%, then 0.7% or 0.7%. Now it's 0.5% and its final revision downward. That was the Remember when Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary, and Scott Bessant, the treasury secretary, said things are going to be gangbusters, gangbusters. Here's NATO's Secretary General, Mark Ruti, who's just been so weak. Here he is saying that a couple of countries are holding back on Ukraine's entry into NATO. One of them is the United States. So Donald Trump's attack right now after losing the war in Iran is to just continue to attack NATO. Here's Mark Ruta here.

NATO Official (16:42)

Here, the NATO summit in Washington when NATO was celebrating the 75 years there was an agreement on the irreversible path of Ukraine into NATO. But also the fact of the matter is that a couple of countries are holding back, including Germany and Slovakia, Hungary, the United States. So I don't think it is on the table right now.

Political Commentator 2 (17:02)

And so what's the response though from EU, France, U.K. spain, Italy and Belgium? Well, they're calling right now to make sure that Lebanon is included in any cease fire agreement. As drop site reports, a chorus of European voices pressing Israel to extend the US Iran cease fire to Lebanon where Israeli strikes have killed at least 256 people and wounded 1100 people since the truce was announced on Tuesday. And as all of this is taking place, Donald Trump's focus in addition to the UFC fights in Washington, D.C. his Golden Ballroom I want you to watch as a magazine. Republican Congress member Herdopoulos is confronted about Trump using foreign steel to construct the Golden Ballroom.

Interviewer (17:47)

Play this clip right now. Construction is halted at the White House, but the New York Times reports this morning that President Trump has championed the US Steel industry, promising to strengthen and impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals to shield manufacturing from overseas. Yet the White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated funds. Foreign steel for the $400 million ballroom project. That's according to two people familiar with the plans. How would you feel about, about the new wing of the White House being built with foreign steel?

Congressman Mike Haradopoulos (18:19)

Well, I get news to me, John, that's breaking news. I've not heard that. Obviously we want to use American steel. America has really strengthened its economic power recently. Because you're seeing so much foreign investment happening here, let's hope to use American steel that make common sense to me.

Interviewer (18:34)

All right. Congressman Mike Haradopoulos from Florida. I hope you Enjoy the next 24 hours or so watching this splashdown. I know it means so much to you, really and the people of the country. Thank you.
