Trump Says 'No Rush'—But Can Americans Wait For Lower Prices

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Well, tomorrow is Memorial Day and it looks like we have some possible good news. Today, I'm going to break down what is happening and why some believe this is finally it. But what exactly are we talking about? Well, the world has been waiting for this agreement between the United States and Iran. Look what President Trump is doing. But look what oil prices are doing. That's the key here. Look at this. says oil prices fall 5% after President Donald Trump says Iran talks are proceeding in a constructive manner. Now, here's what we're hearing in the backroom deals.

[00:00:43]According to multiple sources, Republicans are furious with President Trump. They want this dealt with immediately because we are now hitting those summer months.

[00:00:56]After Memorial Day, everyone starts traveling. They're taking vacations.

[00:01:01]They're, you know, spending time at the beach. They're on the boat, right?

[00:01:05]Driving, doing traveling on airplanes, whatever. But the problem is oil prices have been rather high. And Republicans are saying if we see these summer months get and people are hit hard financially because of gas prices and oil due to the the closure of the straight of Hermoose.

[00:01:26]The problem is the American people are going to pin that on Republicans. So they are saying we have to do something to get out of this mess. I want to show you something though. Look at this. It says, "US inches toward Iran deal as negotiations focus on Hormuz." Now, let's read a little bit of this. I Let's just show you what's happening. It says, "US officials told the reporters that nothing is ready to be signed Sunday as the two sides negotiate on the precise language on key issues and that it may take several days for both sides to final to get final approval. Iran's uh semiofficial tasnim nuj agency said Sunday that the draft deal could still collapse because the US is obstructing some key clauses including tan's demand that its assets be unfrozen.

[00:02:21]Keep in mind that in order for Iran to continue to uh en to get highlyenriched uranium to will build back some of their facilities and start up again. They need money. So, of course, Tran is demanding that some of their assets be unfrozen so they can use that to start rebuilding and get back to where they once were.

[00:02:46]So, of course, President Trump doesn't want that. That would actually defeat the purpose. So, it's a very interesting situation right now. goes on to say, "Urged on by several Arab leaders, the US and Iran have been discussing a possible extension of a fragile ceasefire, but both sides have offered differing descriptions of what an interim deal would include. The two sides have proposed several deals in the past few weeks that that they have failed to clinch. Yeah, it's not looking like it's a guarantee, but it's looking like we're getting closer and closer with every passing day, but some of that's due to the fact that Iran, they they can't they can't pump any more oil because they don't have any place to put it. They're at capacity as we speak.

[00:03:38]And so, they are pretty much shutting down and their economy is going to collapse the longer this goes on. I want to show you something else though. Look at this. Trump said today or actually last night that there is no rush for an Iran deal and the US blockade is going to stay. The United States isn't going to pull out of Iran just because Iran says, "Yep, we have a deal as soon as you pull out." No, President Trump is not going to do that. That would, according to experts, that would be a massive mistake because by pulling out, Iran would come in, try to take over what the United States just pulled away from, and then it would be harder for the US to get back to where we are today. But if we were to attack Iran in the middle of a ceasefire, Iran's going to say, "Well, this is what we warned you that you again violated the ceasefire and this is why we are doing what we're doing." Again, straight to her mur would be close. I want to play something for you, though. Listen to this.

[00:04:44]>> Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday said that a deal or announcement might come soon when it comes to Iran.

[00:04:51]>> There may be news later today. I don't have news for you at this very moment, but there might be some news a little later today. There may not be. I I hope there will be, but I'm not sure yet.

[00:04:59]>> Well, it's Sunday and that didn't happen. Republicans, especially those on Capitol Hill, the president's allies, those who are a little bit more hawkish when it comes to foreign policy, including Senator Lindsey Graham, quickly went on X yesterday, talking about reports of an emerging deal that would include a 60-day ceasefire with Iran and no commitment that Iran would end its nuclear program. He posted saying that it is important we get this right. He also took these reports, which at that point had not been confirmed by the president, and said it makes him wonder why we started the war to begin with. It wasn't just Lindsey Graham. It was also the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Roger Wicker, who said the deal would be a disaster. Senator Ted Cruz, also an ally of President Trump, said, "I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran deal being pushed by some voices in the administration."

[00:05:51]Well, now on Sunday, a senior administration official tells NBC News not to expect a deal signed today, but that progress is being made towards one.

[00:06:01]Now that the president has re-emphasized his commitment to ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon and it does not have its bombs or missiles program intact, Senator Lindsey Graham is back on board now. He's praising this proposal by President Trump, calling it brilliant.

[00:06:18]Okay. But again, this isn't every single Republican. Some in the Senate that are are pretty certain that their seat is not going anywhere and they're not going to lose their seat in the upcoming midterm election, they're praising what President Trump is doing. Others, which you're not hearing about, not so much.

[00:06:36]They're concerned that their constituents are going to vote against them if they don't change where we are currently headed. Now, why am I bringing this up today? Well, today is well, today Sunday, uh, May 24th, the middle of Memorial Day weekend. Here's the reason why I'm bringing it up. I'm seeing very little traveling, okay, in my area. A lot of people staying home.

[00:07:06]I'm still in my office, okay? Didn't go anywhere for Memorial Day weekend. Don't plan on going anywhere. I'll be right back here tomorrow as well. I'm not traveling over Memorial Day weekend.

[00:07:17]One, I just didn't feel like it. But two, why pay more when hopefully, very soon, we see some type of an agreement here and prices for jet fuel, for gas, diesel, everything comes down. That's what I'm waiting on to start booking my tickets, my flights, and doing all my traveling when prices are lower. Not when they're the highest they've been in years. So, where do we go from here?

[00:07:47]Well, there's nothing we can really do.

[00:07:50]We can call our state representative and we can tell them, "Yep, you need to make a deal. You need to get this done quickly because we're struggling here."

[00:07:58]But I've said this before. Even if the straight of her is opened up today or tomorrow, it does not mean that gas prices are going to go back to normal in the matter of weeks. It doesn't mean energy bills are going to drop significantly. It doesn't mean that your credit cards become less expensive. We stop seeing inflation. We see interest rates come down. All all the other issues in our economy are still here.

[00:08:24]The only difference is now we're going to have more oil for the rest of the world, which means the US doesn't have to be uh exporting all of our oil. We can keep a little bit more of it, meaning our prices eventually will come down. But again, it's going to take some time. So, I just want to leave you with that because again, right now, everyone's concerned about one thing.

[00:08:45]What is happening to their wallet? Their money is leaving faster than it's coming in. And I get it. I understand it and I'm concerned too. So, we'll see what happens moving forward, but that is what we know as of today. So, again, thank you guys for watching. Consider subscribing and I'll see you guys on the next
