[00:00:00]On Saturday, Donald Trump announced a peace deal with Iran was in its final stages and basically across the finish line. Then on Sunday afternoon, less than 24 hours later, he got back on Truth Social and posted that he told his negotiators not to rush, that time is on our side, and that the American naval blockade was going to keep right on going. So, the deal that was almost done yesterday is now a deal we are deliberately not finishing today. That's not a negotiating posture. That's what it looks like when a man takes a victory lap on Saturday and wakes up Sunday morning to find out he's been lapping the wrong track. Now, for some quick context here, the United States struck Iran back on February 28th and killed Ayatollah Khamenei in the process. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed ever since, and Americans are now paying near-record gas prices for Memorial Day weekend, which is the kind of thing voters tend to notice every 12 miles.

[00:00:55]Saturday's announcement was supposed to fix all of it. And it also somehow floated over Iran joining the Abraham Accords, a sentence so geopolitically deranged it made regional analysts choke on their coffee in 12 different time zones at once. Now, the pushback is the part the White House should be worried about. Republican Senator Tom Tillis went on cable Sunday morning, flatly said the deal doesn't make sense, and then went a step further and said Trump had received bad advice from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A Republican senator on live television naming a Republican cabinet secretary as the reason the Republican president was making the wrong call on the biggest foreign policy file of the year. That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when somebody inside the building want Hegseth's fingerprints on record before whatever ultimately comes next and gets signed. So, this wasn't a tactic. This was a White House getting overruled from inside its own building. And it's trending today because the Tillis naming Hegseth clip lit up every defense reporter and Iran watcher on Axe inside of 2 hours. and viewers have been waiting 6 months for somebody on the Republican side to actually break the ranks. Well, now somebody did, and they named names while doing it. Hegseth's name is now publicly attached to whatever gets signed next, and let's watch who else gets named. I'm Hank, here to explain the chaos, not hype it.
