Everybody, welcome to Vince on a Wednesday. Boy, it is so great to have you with us. As always, the best audience anywhere. A big show ahead for you. Who's your daddy? Yeah, that's right. President Trump picking a bunch of new winners in Indiana to defeat all of the weak Republicans who failed us on the big map fight. We've got the details on all of the breaking news out of Indiana coming up on the program. Also, the president of the United States breaking some more news this morning as it relates to Iran. We will get to the emerging details on that subject. A lot to discuss today. In fact, I can barely share it all with you. And also we'll, we'll make fun of crazy Katie Porter. She was just involved in a big governor debate yesterday in California. She's ridiculous. And we've got a lot of commentary on that. That's all ahead on this edition of Vince, as always, great to have you with us. We've got a lot to talk about. Let me first thank one of our big sponsors today, and that is HomeServe. Love HomeServe. You know, owning a home, it's an amazing thing. It really is. I'm grateful that in my life I'm able to own my home. But here's the issue. It's a problem on occasion. And when it's a problem, it's a big problem. You know, one minute you'll be enjoying your morning coffee, the next, your ankle deep in water from a burst pipe. Now, repairs don't care about your timing and they definitely don't care about your budget. You protect your health, your car, even your phone. But what about your home? It's probably your biggest investment. And when something breaks, it can cost you big time. That's where HomeServe comes in. Regular homeowners insurance is fine, but it might not cover the everyday breakdowns like a furnace failure, a broken light switch, a busted water heater. HomeServe offers plans that do help cover those kinds of repairs. It's like a subscription for your home starting at just $4.99 a month. Now, as a homeowner, I couldn't imagine anything better for 99amonth. Yeah, that's a, that's a great deal. For peace of mind, help protect your home systems and your wallet with HomeServe against covered repairs. Again, plans start at just 499amonth. Go to HomeServe.com find the plan that's right for you. That's HomeServe.com it's not available everywhere. Most plans do range between 499 to 1199amonth. Your first year terms apply. Uncovered repairs. See HomeServe.com for details. Oh, yes. Yes, indeed. I've got. So there's a lot going on here. First of first and foremost, you maybe may see Raina walking around in frame right now. For those of you who've been with me for a while, you've seen a lot of Major. You almost never see Raina. Raina's my other dog, and Raina's. For whatever reason, Just before I started the show today, Raina came into the studio. I think it's a little. It's rainy here in Virginia. We've got some rain today. It's a little overcast. You know how dogs can detect pressure changes. And she just decided. I don't know why she wants to be close to me when the weather turns. She's a skittish dog. I think I've mentioned to this the audience before. She's a rescue. That her life has been crazy. Her life. She started in the streets of Cairo, and then some international dog rescue brought her to the United States of America. And then we have. And then she was living on a farm in Virginia and nobody would adopt her, so we went and adopted her. We're like. We met her. She. She runs with Major. We. We brought her out in this farmland, and the two of them were running around like crazy together. So we figured, okay, we'll adopt her. And like I said, she's very skittish. She's like. Even now. I mean, we treat her so well, but she'll. She freaks out at any little noise or bump or anything. My daughter later brushed down on the counter this morning, and Raina took off running just hearing the sound of the brush. So, again, this is a very rare circumstance, but here she is in studio. Let me see if I can show you. I know, I know. Vince, get to the content. This is the content. This is what you signed up for. Welcome to the show. Here you go. This is. Can I. Is it even possible to show you this? I think my camera's a dud this morning. Look at Raina. Hey. Hey, baby girl. Hi, baby. No, my camera's. My camera's messed up. Look at me promising all these things, and I can't even show you her. That's the top of her head. If you're watching on Rumble Rubble.com vids. Uh, she's a good girl. I'm gonna see if I can't fix my camera. Sorry about that. That's a bit of a maybe. I'll just take a picture of her. Look at this. There we go. We gotta. We got a photo of her. Here she is in studio this morning. There we go. There she is. There's Raina. That's your, that's your Reina cam this morning, Raina. She just wants to be near me. I don't know. Anyway, so there she is. That's, that's the opening this morning. Also, here's an opening that more directly involves you. So specifically, I want to issue my gratitude to you today. I want to thank you for making this show as successful as it's become. You know, we've. We've been in the 8 o' clock time slot for not that many months now on Rumble. I know this has been a big change of habit and pattern for anybody who was with us when we were doing it at 10 o' clock Eastern Time each day. That's, of course, where Bongino is. Dan Bongino is each day now. So I want to issue my gratitude to all of you. I say you're the best audience anywhere. I really mean it. I'm so grateful for your support, and that support is now measurable. We have data that just came in, and here it is. This is the, the Rumble stream charts. The stream charts have just been put out for the month of April. So we just came out of that month. And of course, you see there Dan Bongino dominating right there at the top of the charts with peaking out 76,000 viewers. Nobody else touching him on that, but right here at number 10. Again, this is 8 o' clock Eastern time. And I realize that one of the things that has occurred as a result of our being at 8 o' clock Eastern Time live on Rumble is we lose a lot of the West Coast. People just can't watch us live on the West Coast. Now, I'm grateful for all of you west coast viewers and listeners who catch us on delay. Thank you for that. Please keep doing that. That helps us out so much. And especially if you're not subscribed to the podcast, be sure to subscribe to the podcast. You can get it in audio form there. But this is you, ladies and gentlemen. And for the live Rumble audience, that number right there, that 20,000 viewers at 8 o' clock Eastern time. Nobody else is doing this. Nobody else is doing this. And that's thanks to you. So thank you for that. That's really big. Coming up this morning, I'll have a chance to celebrate all of this with Dan at 10:00 Eastern Time. Dan and I will be doing our crossover episode today as we do every two weeks, we do a crossover episode together on his excellent program. So that's just a couple, little, couple of housekeeping items. But I want to start as, as always, with a lot of gratitude to this great audience. So thank you for everything that you've done to make this test. That it is. Really appreciate you. Look at that. Colleen says she catches me every day at five o' clock in the morning in Arizona. Well, God bless you, Colleen. I appreciate that. There's. Yeah, we do have some early risers. Thank you for that. I know you're out there. I know you're out there. But so much of the west coast, they're still, they're still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes as we're getting started. And that's fine. I appreciate you wherever you get me and whenever you get me. All right, let's talk about what happened in Indiana last night. Holy cow. President Trump wasn't playing around. And let me be clear about this. It's not just President Trump. It's Republicans in Indiana. Republican voters, specifically in Indiana. They've had enough of this crap. They've had enough of this weakness. Now, this goes back to December of last year. Remember, Indiana, Republicans in the state Senate had a huge opportunity here to try and regain some of the ground that has been stolen from by Democrats all across the country. I mean, you look at states like New Mexico and Massachusetts and Illinois and California and Maryland, these are states where Democrats have stolen every possible seat they can get their hands on and left Republicans with, in some cases, nothing. Now, they have Republican voters in their states, but they refuse to give their voices representation in their House delegations. So as a result of all of the Democrat theft, and if you consult Stephen Miller on this, he told us this week that Democrats have stolen over 40 house seats across the country through a combination of this demented, racialized gerrymandering, Eagle, eagle, alien apportionment, flawed census approaches. Through all of that, Democrats have stolen over 40 house seats. So when we ask Republicans in Indiana, hey, can you, can you try and regain some of the ground here? Just get us two. Two. We're asking for two, not 42 to regain the ground. Can you do that for us? A bunch of Republicans led by the Mitch Daniels coalition and, yes, the Mike Pence coalition in Indiana said, up yours. We're not doing it. We're not doing it. That wouldn't be fair. They whined. Fair? What are you talking about? We're getting destroyed you're not going to fight back. Yeah, they didn't fight back and now they're getting thrown out. President Trump promised at the time, he promised in December, that if you don't do this, you're getting tossed. If you don't do this, I'm endorsing your opponent. Look what he said at the time. He said, I love the state of Indiana. I've won it, including the primaries, six times, all by massive majorities. Importantly, it now has a chance to make a difference in D.C. in regard to the number of House seats we have that are necessary to hold the majority against the radical left Democrats. Every other state has done redistricting willingly, openly and easily. There was never a question in their mind that contributing to a win in the midterms for the Republicans was a great thing to do for our party and for America itself. In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing redistricting for years and continue to do so. He's right. He's right. He's right. This is in December. The President, unfortunately, Indiana Senator leader Rod Bray, enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats. In Indiana's case, two. Two of them. He's putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with them. By doing so, he's putting the majority in the House of Representatives at risk and at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this redistricting likewise at risk. He goes on to say that if you don't support this, anybody that votes against redistricting and the success of the Republican Party will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA primary in the spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. You got to do what is necessary. This is about saving the country. So yesterday was the election. Yesterday was the primary. That was the spring election that President Trump was referring to. And the president made seven endorsements in this race, seven endorsements to replace all of the people that he could possibly get his hands on who voted against doing the right thing for our country yesterday. And as of this morning, as we look at the data, what we're seeing is a landslide victory for President Trump and for Republican voters. Let me just show you the data here. Take a look at this, ladies and gentlemen. Here's the data. This is from, from the New York Times this morning. This is the latest polling data on the subject. And it finds that in this, in seven races, President Trump endorsed Those challengers to flip seats, seven of them. And so far as of this morning, five of these seats have flipped to the challenger. One of them at the moment is a toss up. It is a 50, 50 dead heat. And in only a single race did the incumbent Republican senator who voted against doing the right thing prevail in a single race. The rest of these races were not even close. Look at the margins of victory here. President Trump in District 1 when his candidate wins. 7523. District 11. 59. 41. District 19. 62. 19. District 21. 65. 35. District 41. 59. 41. Destruction. Utter landslide. Utter landslide. So what are the lessons from this? Well, the lesson here is the American people definitely know what time it is. The American people absolutely know what's on the line and what kind of opponent we're up against. We're up against an opponent that's not playing by rules. They're devastating our system. They're rigging it to their benefit. They're disinterested in appealing to American voters at all, which is why their ideas are so freaking crazy. They have nothing to do with appealing to voters. Telling people that men can become women is not some sort of appealing electoral. Opening our border is not something voters are wild about. Making it so that voter integrity is undermined by saying, oh, you don't have to show photo ID to vote is not something voters are for. So you have a party that's composed entirely of ideas that absolutely repel voters. The only way that that party can obtain and keep power is through election rigging, through cheating. And voters are done with that crap. In Indiana, they're done with that crap. They were asking the guys that they had voted for in the past support us here in this moment. They failed. So they got thrown out. They got fired. Yesterday, they got fired. And so is this a win for President Trump? Yeah, sure. But more importantly, it's a win for the rest of us. And this movement, this movement to remake the Republican Party into a party that actually fights. It's not going to end with this Trump presidency. It's going to continue. There's, there's a delusion that's going on right now among some establishment Republicans and in Washington that after Trump is everything back goes back to so called normal? Normal? No, normal is a country with borders. Normal is a country with credible elections. Normal is now American voters who are fighting tooth and nail to get that back. That's normal. We're not going back to the status quo. We're not going back to the corruption. We're not going back to Republican voters being asleep at the switch as their so called Republican leaders sell them out. That's not coming back. In fact, my buddy Kurt Schlichter summed it up this way last night. He says, inevitably, the rhinos will take the wrong lesson from tonight's brutal discipline. They will think that because they personally offended Trump, they got defeated. That's not it. Trump is not our leader. He's our avatar. You dummies screwed with the base and the base, not Donald Trump, made you pay. You won't listen to me, says Kurt. Which is okay. You don't want it to be true. But there's no free pass. Once Donald Trump leaves the scene, the same energy and anger will still be there. And you can either help us channel it in a positive direction or have it channeled at you. But there's no more squish tolerance in the gop. As Rush would say, the band, not the legend conform or. Or be cast out. Kurt's right. This is continuing. This will continue. And that's a good thing. That's a good thing. This is why we spend so much time talking about the Save America Act. This is our priority. Is it the President's priority, too? Yeah, of course it's the President's priority. He's all in on the Save America Act. But the most important people who are all in on it are us, the American people. The reason the Senate has even had to try and figure out ways to pat us on the head and make us go away is the fact that we've been demanding this. They wouldn't have spent a moment's breath on this subject other than the fact that you and I demanded it and continue to. And that gets me to another point about what we learned on Tuesday. This. These results from Indiana. This is a warning shot to John Thune. This is a warning shot to any Republican senator who's sitting on their hands right now hoping to wait us out. You will not wait us out. We will remember. We don't forget. We don't forget what happened in Indiana. And now Republican voters in Indiana have demonstrated that that memory will power their efforts to fix their state and their country. That's true for all of us all across the country. We don't forget our memory. Our concern for our country, our concern for its sovereignty and its borders, our concern for integrity of elections is going to endure. Because when we said make America great again, we meant it. Last night is a warning shot to any establishment Republican who thinks that they can just play footsie with MAGA and then stick to the status quo. No, no footsie. We said that. I don't even know what I'm referencing, but there was a, we made a no footsie remark recently. No footsie. No footsie. I think it was a Save America act story. No footsie last night was a clear warning shot to John Thune and the establishment that we're not playing around. And when your time comes, we're going to give you the heave ho unless you fight for us. So now's your chance. Fight for us. Time is of the essence. This is. Yeah, we are an elephant. No, that it actually does make elephant the perfect representation of the Republican Party or at least the Republican base. An elephant never forgets. We don't forget. Our memories are long. Our memories are long and our energy is boundless. We will use it to throw you out. We will. So big, big results out of Indiana last night. And again, this was just for two Republican leaning districts. Two Republican leaning districts and they couldn't even do that. Amazing. Amazing. Just, just to make up some of that stolen ground by the left. Just, just ridiculous. I've got more breaking news to get to with you this morning. Some updates on Iran. President Trump has announced that Project Freedom is on pause. Now. What's that about? We'll read the tea leaves together coming up on this edition. Events. A lot more to discuss.

Got a fast growing tree and loves it. Loves it. How you doing, Raina? You doing good? You doing good, baby? Ray's doing good. She's a sweetheart. She's. Let me pet her head. All right, let me see what we got going on. My apologies, by the way. I've got a bit of a. Bit of a runny nose. I don't know what's going. I know it's not allergies. I think I've just got a little bit of a sickness of some kind. I got the sickness, but luckily it's not holding me back. I'm of sound mind. You ever in that phase in a sickness where you've got the symptoms but your mind is operating at 100%? I'm at 100%. I'm good right now, but just annoying. Just annoying thing. All right, let's see what else we got going on. Ok. Oh, the president. Iran. This is a great. This is a. This is. Well, this. There's a lot going on. Let me pull up this Axios report this morning because I do have an Axios story to amend what I'm talking about with you. They've got basically that the President appears to be nearing a deal with Iran. I know we've heard that a lot. We've heard that they keep inching forward, but I would say it's probably worth reading into what the President posted last night because there was enough mystery involved that I felt like, okay, there's gotta be some sort of forward progress here on making a deal with Iran. And here is what the President posted last night. Let me get rid of this. Check this out. Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries, the tremendous military success that we have had during the campaign against the country of Iran, and additionally the fact that great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that while the blockade will remain in full force and effect. Project Freedom, the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, will be paused, paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized and signed. President DONALD J. Trump. Now, I just want to point out some of the most obvious elements of this right away. One is while the blockade's remaining in effect. So Iran's beef is that we were successfully moving ships through the Strait and we're pausing that. Okay. Again, I'm trusting the president's judgment on this subject. Clearly he's sensing some signs of progress here. But I'm a little curious as to why it's necessary to pause Project Freedom at all. Because Project Freedom was merely just positioning US Warships in such a way that we could create a zone defense and get ships through the Strait of Hormuz. But the president's saying, okay, we're gonna pause it for the moment. Got it. The blockade continues, so no ships are allowed in or out of Iranian ports. That's not changing, says the President of the United States. So these are the circumstances. But again, he says he's doing this at the request of Pakistan, which is played intermediary here between Iran and the United States. And they're in pursuit of a deal right now. Now, what does that deal look like? Well, Axios has a report this morning and I'll remind you, this guy Barack Ravid over at Axios, he's been talking to the president with some frequency. He'll call the president, the president will answer and he'll talk to him and give him updates. So here's what Barack Ravid has in his headline today. And again, I'm going. This just came out as we were going live. So I'm reading through this with you for the first time. Exclusive US And Iran closing in on one page memo to end the war. Officials say. Now remember, Iran had a 14 point offer that they submitted earlier this week and they didn't, as far as we knew, reportedly make any obligations about getting rid of their nuclear program. So let's see what's in this. The White House does believe it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one page memorandum of understanding to end the war and to set a framework. Here we go. For more detailed nuclear negotiations. According to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue, the U.S. expects Iranian responses on several key points in the next 48 hours. That would be the next two days. Nothing has been agreed to yet, but the sources say this is the closest the parties have been to an agreement since the war began. Among other provisions, the deal would involve Iran committing to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment. Okay, A moratorium is not an end to nuclear enrichment. It would be a delay to it of some unknown number of years. If a moratorium is the agreement, it would be a pause on nuclear enrichment. This, the president wants to end their entire nuclear program. He's. He's made it pretty clear what his terms are. The US Is agreeing to lift. In exchange for this, apparently, the US Would agree to lift its sanctions and release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds. And both sides would lift restrictions around transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, this Strait of Hormuzzi. You know, Marco Rubio took the lectern yesterday in the White House press briefing and said, the strait. These are international waters. You can't allow any country to impose fees on international waters. It's insane. We cannot set that precedent. You can't have a toll to go through the strait. So clearly the offer is there's no gray area to what the United States is demanding here. Free passage, free trade through the Strait of Hormuz, unmolested by the Iranians. No mines, no ships menacing the traffic. Many of the terms laid out in the memo would be contingent on a final agreement being reached, leaving the possibility of a renewed war or an extended limo in which the hot war has stopped. But nothing is truly resolved, says Axios. They claim that the White House believes the Iranian leadership is divided. Yeah, we've heard that a lot. You know, when. When you've got. Look, you've got the head of the irgc, you have the head of the Parliament, you've got the. The gay, deformed Khamenei son who is, you know, one of the guy, apparently the guy that they keep checking in with. You've got all these different people that they're trying to figure out how to make a deal with, and it's led to, like, you know, all of this chaos. Remember, JD Vance meets with this team, and in Islamabad, the Iranians. And he sussed out pretty quickly. These guys are not even in charge. They can't make any decisions. Nobody's in a position to actually make an agreement with us. They have to keep going back to all of these disparate power centers in Iran. Why don't you guys figure out who's in charge first, and then we can negotiate with them. So Iran, in many ways, needs to get his act together, including who the hell's in charge over here, who the hell's in charge. U.S. officials have expressed optimism about a deal. They're concerned about all of this. Let's see. Two U.S. officials said President Trump's decision to back off of his newly announced operation in the street of Hormuz and avoid a collapse of the fragile cease fire was based on progress in the talks. Progress in the talks. So the President clearly feels they're getting closer to what he actually wants out of this. The one page 14 point memo of understanding is being negotiated between Trump's envoys, Steve Wyckoff and Jared Kushner and several Iranian officials, both directly meaning, you know, man to man, communication to communication and through mediators. In its current form, the MOU would declare an end of the war in the region, the start of a 30 day period of negotiations on a detailed agreement to open the Strait. Okay, so what this, this sounds like to me is just an upscaled version of the cease fire. If it's a 30 day pause on armed exchange at all between the United States and Iran, it's just an extension of the ceasefire. It's just a more formalized extension of the ceasefire. That's what this is. And it'll be, they're going to negotiate on a detailed agreement to open the Strait and limit Iran's nuclear program. Limit Iran's nuclear program. Limit, not end, limit and lift U.S. sanctions. Now, this comes down to what kind of enrichment situation we've got going on. Marco Rubio said yesterday that one way to, to do this would be that they could get in uranium that's enriched by someone else for energy if they want it for energy, which again, I don't know why they need it. Iran's got one of the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. Why do they need any nuclear energy? But if you're going to get nuclear energy to Iran, you could do enrichment outside of the country and then import it in and not have any enrichment done inside of the borders of Iran. Marco Rubio said this yesterday. He said we could do this in a second, but instead the Iranians keep trying to enrich this uranium up to and past 60%. The only reason you do that is because you're trying to pursue a nuclear weapon. So again, this will all come down to does this satisfy the President of the United States? These negotiations could be happening in Islamabad or Geneva. Two sources said Iran's restrictions on shipping through the Strait and the US Naval blockade would be gradually lifted. Gradually lifted during the 30 day period. According to a US official, if negotiations collapse, US forces would be able to restore the blockade or resume military action. Of course, that's at the discretion of the President. So that's the update this morning. Apparently there's some forward progress on negotiations. Now, having said all that, we do have another update from the President of the United States that he just posted to Truth Social. See if I can't pull it up. I was like, why? Here we go. Here's the President of the United States on that subject this morning. This was posted just 50 minutes ago as we talked to you live. Here's what he said. Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is perhaps a big assumption, the already legendary epic fury will be at an end. And the highly effective blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be open to all, including Iran. If they don't agree, the bombing starts, says the President. And it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. Thank you for your attention to this matter. All right, look, clearly these guys are barreling towards a conclusion. They're attempting to get there. President Trump has been working hard on that. I think that will come as a great relief. If he can score a big deal here. That's going to come as a great relief to a lot of people for a bunch of reasons. One, getting rid of the threat of a nuclear Iran. Clearly, the President is only interested in ending the threat of a nuclear Iran. He started this for that reason. Well, candidly, Iran started this, but President Trump is attempting to finish this because he's trying to get rid of the threat of a nuclear Iran. That's one, two. The American people. The American people, nobody wants to pay high gas prices. President Trump and Scott Besson, all these guys, they're trying to bring that down. Clearly, when the Strait of Hormuz controls so much of the world's energy supply, it's gonna have wide reaching implications on the rest of us. They wanna get that down as quickly as possible. And not least of all because the midterms are coming up as a political matter. President Trump clearly wants to make an amazing case to the American people. And of course, I've talked about it, he's got an amazing case to make. But when people drive down their streets, in their neighborhoods, and especially if they're not as dialed in as you are on all of the victories we've seen, one of the key indicators that any voter looks at is what's the gas price? Oh, my God. Gas prices are up. And then they start blaming the guy who's in charge. That's it. It's as simple as that. It's the most simple political calculus in the world. The president wants to bring that down and they want to do it rapidly. So they're working, they're juggling chainsaws here, as always, and they're working on that. In fact, I've got more updates on Iran in just a moment because we've got, we've got some of. Reagan Reese got a chance, our reporter Reagan Reese got a chance to ask a couple of questions yesterday to everybody who's involved in this.

Yesterday, my reporter, Reagan Reese, White House correspondent for the Daily Caller. We were, as we always do, we're always scheming and plotting. I was talking to her yesterday about all these big events she had to go to. And she went to three events, rapid fire, right in a row, all of the big events. Yesterday, she went to the Pentagon, got a chance to ask some questions of Pete Hegseth and Dan Kane, General Kane yesterday. And then she went off to the president's Oval Office yesterday because he signed. Did you guys see him sign that proclamation to restore the Presidential Fitness test for kids? Why did we ever get rid of that? Why do we ever get rid of the Presidential fitness test for kids? What the hell was that about? It was Obama. It was Obama. I love how Michelle Obama, who wears the pants in that relationship, was protecting, like, she was all about health. And they got rid of the presidential fitness test. What? Okay, so President Trump brings it back, thankfully, yesterday. And Reagan got to be in the room, ask him some questions yesterday. And then Marco Rubio had his press conference yesterday, and he was filling in for Caroline Levitt. And our very own Reagan was there to witness it all. She was there. But let me. Let me share some of what we were able to yield for you yesterday. First and foremost, in the morning. General Dan Kane was there yesterday morning, and he was talking about how basically what the Iranians are attempting to do is hold the entire global economy hostage right now with the Strait of Hormuz. Take a look. Here's General Kaine. Cut two. Yesterday. Over the past seven weeks, Iran's repeatedly threatened and attacked commercial shipping in the strait in order to effectively cut off commercial traffic and damage the global economy. By obstructing one of the world's most critical maritime checkpoints, a vital transit route for approximately one fifth of the global oil consumption, Iran is weaponizing the global supply chain. This action disregards established navigational rights in the law of the sea. And the regime led by the IRGC is effectively attempting to hold the entire global economy hostage. Yeah, they are. They're holding it. So what we're dealing with are maniacs, by the way. We're dealing with complete maniacs. I mean, we have a ceasefire going on with them right now, and they're still sending their little annoying boats out. These little. I heard, like, some official. I can't compare them to, like, a bunch of Boston Whalers trying to, like, go out there and menace the. The actual ships that are in the strait. And we just keep sinking them. We've been sinking them. Which leads me, and it led Reagan to this question yesterday that she asked directly to the President of the United States, Is the ceasefire over? Like, what's. Like, at what point is the ceasefire over if these annoying little Iranian boats are going to keep firing on us? And so she asked the President about this, and here's what he had to say. Cut one, watch. They fired at U.S. ships several times in the last 24 hours. What do they need to do to violate the ceasefire? Well, you'll find out, because I'll let you know. They know what to do and they know what to do. They know what not to do, more importantly, actually. And, you know, they fired them in little boats with pea shooters. You know, the pea shooters. Little boat with a little. You know why? Because they don't have any boats anymore. Their navy is comprised of. They call them little boats. Right. And they're fast. Yeah, they're so fast that they had eight of them. And they're all gone. And they're fast, but they're not fast like a missile. A missile is slightly faster. They're all gone. They're all gone.
