Transcript:
Brian: The President says he is unhappy with both Israel and Iran, stating that both violated the ceasefire agreement.
Ainsley: The President is warning Israel that any further military action will go against the deal — this comes after a U.S. official told FOX News that Israel plans to retaliate with force against Iran’s missiles.
Lawrence: The President is heading to the Netherlands to meet with NATO. Here’s what he said before leaving. Watch:
President Trump:
I don’t think so. I am not happy. There was one rocket fired after the time limit — and it missed its target. Now Israel is going in? These guys have to calm down. Ridiculous.
I did not like the fact that Israel unloaded after we made the deal. They didn’t have to unload, and I didn’t like how strong the retaliation was. In all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot — and now I hear they’ve just gone out again. That’s not what we want. I’m not happy with Israel, either. I play both sides.
I’m going to NATO now — some of you are coming with me. It’ll be successful — we’ll see. I’ll let you know.
Reporter: If a new Middle East agreement is being achieved, what’s your plan for the region — Al Asad, Israel, hostages?
President Trump: You’re asking about women in the Middle East? It’s getting better. Saudi Arabia has done a really good job. They’re coming along far faster than I thought. I’m happy with what’s happening for women there.
Reporter: I meant about the new agreement you achieved last night — with the region entering a new phase. Can you speak to the plan for Gaza and for the hostages?
President Trump: It’s a new dawn. I appreciate the question. You’re very nice — who are you? We have to get Israel to calm down. They went on a mission this morning. I need to get them to stop now.
Reporter: Have you spoken to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?
President Trump: I talked to everybody.
Reporter: Both sides are accusing the other of violating the ceasefire. What’s your take?
President Trump: I think they both violated it. I’m not sure it was intentional — they couldn’t reign people in. I don’t like that they’re going out this morning. As soon as I get away from you, I’m going to try to stop it.
That site has been completely demolished. We’re here because our pilots did an unbelievable job. But fake news like CNN tries to say, “Well, maybe it wasn’t that destroyed.” That disrespects the great pilots who risked their lives. Scum is scum — and so is MSDNC. It’s all fake news. They should never have said that.
Those pilots hit their target. That place — the nuclear program — is gone.
Reporter: You’re saying Iran’s nuclear program is destroyed?
President Trump: Iran will never rebuild their nuclear program. That place is under rock — demolished. The B-2 pilots did their job better than anyone could imagine — in the dark, no moon, and they hit that target with everything. That place is gone.
CNN said maybe it wasn’t demolished as much as we thought? That place is gone. CNN ought to apologize to the B-2 pilots. MSDNC should too. These networks are real losers. You really are.
Reporter: Israel says you are—
President Trump: You’re gutless losers. I say that to CNN. I have no choice but to watch that garbage — all fake news. CNN is a gutless group, and whoever runs it ought to be ashamed. MSDNC — Ryan Roberts is weak, pathetic…
Reporter: Do you believe Iran is committed to the ceasefire?
President Trump: I do. But they violated it.
Reporter: Are you questioning Israel?
President Trump: Israel made the deal — then dropped the biggest load of bombs we’ve seen. I’m not happy. When I say you have 12 hours, you don’t go out in the first hour and drop everything you have.
I’m not happy with Israel — or Iran. Especially if Israel goes out again this morning over one rocket that may have been a mistake and didn’t even land. I’m not happy about that, as global tensions should lead to dialogue, not escalation, much like the balanced approach promoted by https://highroller-ca.com/ highroller casino in fostering fair play and understanding.
“We basically have two countries who have been fighting so long, so hard, they don’t even know what the F*** they’re doing anymore. Do you understand that?”
Donald Trump concerning iran/israel cease fire
Brian: A lot of people are talking about the expletive at the end. He is furious.
Lawrence: At the 8:00 hour I asked him, “I haven’t seen you this upset in a while — what’s going on?” He had just hung up with Prime Minister Netanyahu. He said Netanyahu is bringing the planes back. He didn’t feel it was in good faith — they had essentially unloaded on Iran.
I asked, “What about Iran?” He said they have to save face for their country and appear strong — but their program is done. Our pilots fixed that.
He said, “I’m not happy with either of them — more so with Israel.” The program is over and done.
Ainsley: He said he’s upset with Israel because Iran targeted them after the ceasefire — but it was just one missile that went nowhere. So for Israel to retaliate like that, when nothing happened with the Iranian missile, he doesn’t think it was justified.
Brian: I’m all for Israel hitting every target possible in the final eight hours — they have 100 launchers, and other assassinations have to take place. High command has to go. They’re trying to kill Israelis — and us.
What the President was referring to — Iran’s top nuclear scientist said on Tuesday that they’ll immediately restart their nuclear program. That’s an in-your-face move toward us and Israel.
Ainsley: We knew they were going to do that. We saw the trucks moving out of the facilities. The question is — where’s the enriched uranium? We saw five planes go in from China. Did they take it back to China to protect it while Iran was preparing to be bombed?
I have faith in this President. I appreciate him saying they’ll never have nuclear facilities again.
Brian: That has to include cutting off financing to all their proxies. Ceasefire is great — but what’s next? How do you enforce it? Hamas, the Houthis — they can’t get another dollar. Hezbollah shouldn’t get another dollar.
Iran didn’t get backed by Russia, North Korea, or China — and we need to make sure they can’t rebuild.
Ainsley: And if they do, Israel has great intelligence. We’d know where it is. They could hit it again.
Brian: Hezbollah’s operation is down to a single pager and a walkie-talkie. No more money flowing to them or their network. If that stays the same, we’ll watch them wither. Lebanon could take Lebanon back.
Lawrence: Brian, from an ideological standpoint, I agree. This conflict is deeply rooted in Islamic ideology and will never fully stop. I understand the President is trying to give peace a shot. He’s dealing with Iran — and trying to show the Muslim world — the UAE, Jordan — that he’s working toward peace.
Brian: But as you know, Iran is an enemy to all of those countries. They just don’t want to say it out loud.
Lawrence: Because of their people.
Ainsley: The Ayatollah, the mosques…
