MILITARY Leaders TURN ON Trump LIVE on FOX NEWS!!

[00:00:01]um disagreements about one thing that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

[00:00:06]Never, ever, ever.

[00:00:09]The rest of it irrelevant, frankly. But I I can't square some of the things that are coming out of the ad administration from reliable sources. That's what I find so disturbing. When I heard it from the Iranians, Sean, I dismissed it. I said, "That's the same nonsense we always hearing." But when I hear from administration sources, some of the things that you have heard of what's in this deal, that makes no sense whatsoever. It's not defensible. I think what the president should do is just let's release it and let people see what's out there so we stop debating about something none of us has seen.

[00:00:43]Listen, it's one thing when military leaders are calling out your deal, but it's another when that military leader is also a Fox News contributor and calls into question your leadership regarding this entire war and the deal itself.

[00:00:57]Live on Fox News.

[00:00:59]>> You hear what the president says. He says their navy is at the bottom of the water. The air force is done. They've been degraded in missiles. However, we see Iranian missiles fire at US bases and fire at ships. Um they're saying that the straight's going to be open completely. Iran says something differently in how they talk about it.

[00:01:17]>> Yeah. They're talking about still controlling the straight. And so the question I think the president may be discussing with our G7 partners is whether we can independently uh control the strait ourselves going forward so that Iran cannot in the future extort us. after reports suggested that Iran and the United States said they agreed to a framework to discuss acceptable terms for ending the ongoing war. A memo that at the time of recording this video has not yet been made public so much for the most transparent administration in history.

[00:01:48]But even the longtime Trump media allies on Fox News, including Fox News host and perpetual enabler of Israeli war crimes, Mark Leven, have called on the administration to release the memo. What do you say to Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham who is skeptical of the um to >> Lindsay is skeptical?

[00:02:09]>> Yes.

[00:02:10]>> I'll have to talk to Lindsay. He'll be in big trouble.

[00:02:14]>> Lindsay is good. Lindsay's fine. He's not skeptical. He's just fine. Look, this agreement covers something very nicely. We're not paying for anything.

[00:02:23]We're not doing anything. One provision allegedly would allow Iran access to $300 billion in reconstruction funding, a measure acknowledged by Vice President JD Vance on Monday there.

[00:02:36]>> Very cool um to have you with us, especially when we're discussing this topic that you're running point on. And I'm a little uncomfortable about what I'm about to do, but I've been amping myself up all day. So, no call service.

[00:02:50]>> They're already here, like 50 of you.

[00:02:52]Um, you know, there's been leaked versions of thisou, not just in the Iranian press, in the Saudi press, the Pakistani press. The American press has gotten their hands on some details as well. You know, the Wall Street Journal has it that Iran can immediately sell oil and that they're going to get some sanctions relief right off the bat. That was something that we heard was not going to happen. So, they have an incentive to get this going by Friday. And there's going to be money changing hands. in the copies of theou that we've seen again leaked we have this $300 billion fund and I saw you last night you were with Sean talking about it he said well it's not our money it's you know Gulf nation money our partners' money but that's still a $300 billion payday and that's something that they desperately want to have um the punting on the nuclear program for the 60-day negotiation you know that's the real tough stuff of this right like that's the meat of what we really need to get done and you say the JCPOA you know didn't have anything about that.

[00:03:48]It's in the preamble of the JCPOA that Iran will cease all efforts to have a nuclear weapon and enrichment will be held at about 3%.

[00:03:56]>> Well, they can't now because they can't get the dust. Jessica, >> also >> Barack Obama never buried it.

[00:04:03]>> Well, the vice president is here. Don't interrupt me. And then it'll be over really fast.

[00:04:07]>> I wasn't interrupting him. I was interrupting you.

[00:04:09]>> I meant me. Be polite for our guest.

[00:04:11]>> Okay, I'll try my best.

[00:04:12]>> And you know, people who are disappointed with this deal and it's not just Democrats. It's the whole spectrum of Republicans from, you know, MAGA America first Republicans to traditional neocon Republicans who are concerned that it doesn't actually get rid of this ballistic missile program, the proxy forces, the regime change, which were the initial promises of this war. Um, and I think also that big Axios report last night was meaningful where they said that CIA director Ratcliffe Rubio and Hegsth based on American intelligence were doubting the kind of results they thought we could get out of this deal.

[00:04:46]>> And when the topic was brought up to former military general Jack Keane on Hannity, he urged Trump to release the memorandum of understanding with Iran.

[00:04:55]His point was quite simple. Let the people see it and stop forcing everyone to debate leaks, rumors, and administration spin. But that's the problem with this administration.

[00:05:04]There's no transparency and they continuously change the story throughout this entire conflict. Keen said, quote, "I think what the president should do is just release it and let people see what's out there so we stop debating about something none of us are seeing."

[00:05:17]>> But I I can't square some of the things that are coming out of the ad administration from reliable sources.

[00:05:24]That's what I find so disturbing. When I heard it from the Iranians, Sean, I dismissed it. I said, "That's the same nonsense we always hearing." But when I hear from administration sources some of the things that you have heard of what's in this deal that makes no sense whatsoever. It's not defensible. I think what the president should do is just let's release it and let people see what's out there so we stop debating about something none of us has seen.

[00:05:49]>> Well, you got the assurances from the vice president tonight and the president has given the same asurances you. So I don't know how that really changes the equation except in the short term and then they get nothing unless they follow up on on their quote promises that they are making. What the administration is saying the positions they have taken the promises they have given nuclear dust as it relates to ballistic missiles as it relates to fermenting terror. all of those issues we covered and if they don't abide they get nothing out of the deal and then I would imagine we go back to where we were last week.

[00:06:29]>> I want to believe that. But if you have a reliable highlevel administration source saying we're not going to get rid of their dust. were going to down blend it. That leaves them within the vice president just contradicted.

[00:06:39]>> They're not going to take their c centeres and they're not going to take centugues out and they're not going to take the cascades out which means you can have weapons great and there's going to be a moratorum in terms of you can't have a nuclear deal for 10 20 years similar to the JCPOA and the funding is real. There's a $300 billion investment fund. Who cares where the money comes from if it doesn't come from the United States? I get that. Of course, it shouldn't. But it shouldn't come from anybody. I mean, when we recover Germany and Japan, the Nazis weren't in charge. The Japanese imperialists weren't in charge. Here, the Iranians in charge. The killers and thugs are still in charge. We don't give them that money because what are they going to do with it? They're going to recover everything we've taken away from them. Who cares whether it's coming from the Arabs, from the Qataris or whatever?

[00:07:30]They don't get it. They shouldn't get any of it. That's just the reality of this.

[00:07:34]>> Take that money and recover everything.

[00:07:36]And you know that, Sean. You know that you can't trust these people.

[00:07:39]>> I don't trust the Iranians as I'm a trust but verify guy. But I heard the vice president say they don't get anything unless they do those things.

[00:07:46]They get nothing until they do something. It's not our money. And they never signed off, he said, on any deal for Qatar to give them a penny. Now, all of this is damaging for Trump, right?

[00:07:57]Because he spent weeks telling everyone that he's the great dealmaker. He said the Iran agreement was close for 9 weeks, by the way, which Fox News have pointed out. But even that same network are asking where is this deal? What's even in it? And in not even just the resident voice of sciental, but other hosts who often help enable the president and codle his every move. They are totally against it.

[00:08:19]>> All right. Uh Dana, they they they're trying to say this isn't a significant difference from this agreement. Well, there are some significant differences.

[00:08:27]Most of their leaders are dead. Their military infrastructure has been demolished. They can't concentrate on exporting terror because they have to barely keep they're barely keeping themselves together. So, there is a difference here. The deal may sound similar, but you're dealing with an entirely different atmosphere. It's well, I could make their arguments better for them because there are things that you could say that that you would be able to think, okay, so you killed all of those 40 leaders, but now the IRGC is in charge. Okay, so that's who we're dealing with and that's who we're supposed to stand next to on Friday and sign an agreement that nobody's seen already read except for this is the most transparent administration history, but we can't read it. Like like I could make all of those points.

[00:09:07]>> You have to stop doing that, Dana.

[00:09:08]>> I think she sounds they don't call me.

[00:09:10]But the the thing like we said at the very beginning, the victories are usually visible, clear, understandable, and it's it's just premature >> to say we we haven't even read the information. I I would if I were the Democrats, I would be saying, you telegraph everything else. Why won't you just let us read the thing?

[00:09:29]>> And I think there's maybe two reasons for that. One, things are still being worked out behind the scenes, which would be, I guess, understandable. It's like they jumped the gun perhaps and saying there's a deal. It's great.

[00:09:39]Everything's moving. But wait, and then an hour later, no, it's not, but maybe it is. And I try to keep up with it all day long. I think the best thing we could tell our viewers right now is to say, we got to wait and see. It looks like there could be progress here, at least in getting this to end and the possibility of oil to start moving.

[00:09:55]Maybe that can then translate into some lower prices here at home. But in the meantime, you do have to look at the fact that there um going even back Solommani was killed, the um operation midnight hammer that put the uranium underground >> in the first place. The fact that they were able to blow up all of the leadership and including u I would go back even to what the Israelis did with the pagers um and having all of that intel in there like all all of that is different and better and puts us in a better position than we were 10 years ago, >> right? or even or even more than that like when the JCPOA written by Obama was there >> and the biggest red flag is the reported money considering they often like to bring up how Obama gave Iran millions, right? Which of course isn't true at all. He allowed Iran access to assets that were frozen. But one provision has suggested that Iran would get access to 300 billion in reconstruction funding.

[00:10:51]JD Vans acknowledged it by saying they could receive such a sum if it complied and emphasized that the money wouldn't come from the US. But neither was the money that Barack Obama allowed Iran access to. It was unfrozen money that was theirs under the agreement.

[00:11:07]>> The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Won't seek one. Won't buy one. Won't have one. JP there'll be negotiations to make that final. But they didn't have the threat of military force the way that we do that Iran respects in a very way that their regime is more devastated more devastating, excuse me, more devastated uh than it's ever been in its 47 years. Uh and that's why they're at the table. So the huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. President Trump led with military might. That military might will stay as long as necessary.

[00:11:40]You know, if the blockade comes off, then you you pull back and you allow shipping to flow, just like Iran needs to allow shipping to go through the straits. But we can snap that blockade back at any point and they can't do anything about it. And and Iran knows that and that's why we have the leverage in these talks and we hope they'll go well.

[00:11:57]>> And General Keane pushed back on this very issue stating quote they shouldn't get any of it arguing that the same regime is still in charge. But this is fast becoming a path for Trump that Fox News appeared to be criticizing his inability to negotiate and be transparent with the American people.

[00:12:17]First, Fox aired a montage as I mentioned repeatedly showing Trump saying an Iran deal was close for 9 weeks.

[00:12:23]>> A lot of military experts that we talked to think that it's long past time for the United States to go back to full-scale war against Iran, saying nine weeks ago we had Iran in the ropes. And ever since then, President Trump has been talking about this elusive deal.

[00:12:36]Listen to what he said over the weeks here.

[00:12:39]>> I think with two or three weeks if it is >> we leave.

[00:12:42]>> I view it as very close to over. I think they want to make a deal very badly.

[00:12:46]It's looking very good that we're going to make a deal with Iran. It could happen any day. I believe they want the deal more than I do. Iran is dying to make a deal. We're in the final throws of what will be a very very good deal.

[00:12:59]Could be in two or three days.

[00:13:00]>> Then on Fox News Defi, Dana Pino questioned by the administration was not releasing the agreement. Now this and Fox is supposed to make Trump's position sound impenetrable that he's Mr. Art of the deal. Instead, they are struggling to make excuses for it. The right-wing critique is especially dangerous for Trump because it attacks him on his own terms, right? Democrats can say that the deal is secretive and the whole war was a failure. He will say that Democrats just hate peace. Progressives can say that the war was reckless. Trump will say that they are weak. But when folks are calling it into question, that cuts directly into Trump's strongman brand.

[00:13:36]>> Uh now we will move toward negotiations uh with regard to Iran on the nuclear deal. And based on our understanding, if the deal sticks the way it is, they'll go for a period of 60 days. What do they get from that? We don't know.

[00:13:51]>> We know what the Iranians have done for years. They delay and delay and delay.

[00:13:56]And is it is it 60 days or does 60 go to 90 and 90? Why in a way that's why if the docu sign blockchain idea of signing the document the other day um theou worked I'd postpone a photo op >> until after the 60 days because if it's a wait and see period to see how that goes I would wait and say you don't get rewarded with the photograph until that's in place >> because the whole point of Trump's Ir war was supposed to be maximum pressure maximum leverage maximum strength as Hurah heet would like to point out but now Fox's own retired general vu who has been part of the military in the past and a leader is asking whether Trump is actually turning leverage into concessions and Trump spent years mocking Obama over Iran, right? And Trump is facing almost the exact critique that he used to make. The deal is not public. The concessions are unclear. Iran may get money. Iran may keep dangerous infrastructure. the regime that they were opposing remains in power and the administration is telling everyone to just trust the process. See, that's nowhere near strength. That is Trump walking straight into the argument he built his foreign policy identity around. The only difference now is Trump wants an applause for it.
