Why would I build a military?

Now, I didn't want to use this, but I'm doing you and everybody else a big favor.

Now, here is the question.

The question is, is there really a good deal on the table?

I am skeptical.

I think the Iranians are trying to play Trump.

I think they're trying to play Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are the ones who are negotiating this deal.

The fact you have Steve Witkoff trying to analyze what nuclear negotiation looks like, he would not be my pick for a person to negotiate a nuclear deal, given his, shall we say, lack of historic acumen in doing such things.

So again, over the weekend, Iran fired these missiles.

Israel went after some targets in Tehran, mainly drone and missile factories, and a petrochemical complex in Mashar, which is in southwestern Iran.

And the president immediately came out and he said, Trump and Iran must immediately stop shooting.

This is the president's statement.

He put up on Truth Social.

And then he put up a follow-up statement that was at 4.36 AM.

And he put up a follow-up statement that said, Israel and Iran are looking for an immediate ceasefire, which I have questions.

He said, both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate ceasefire.

Final negotiations on peace are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.

The blockade will remain in place and in full force and effect until a final deal is reached.

Things should move quickly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
