The segment correctly identifies the shift toward transactional realism, where verified performance replaces trust in international diplomacy. However, treating global security like a business contract risks ignoring the deeper political complexities that economic leverage alone cannot solve.

Fox News Highlights - June 17th, 2026
Added:Fox News alert. Wee wee. Trump just landed in Perry. After the G747 swung through the French capital to commemorate America 250. The Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War. They toasted the occasion in the world's largest royal palace.
>> We're going to Versail for dinner with some of Europe's great people and we'll see how that works out. I think it'll be very good. Uh the president will be there with madam and I think we're going to have a good time.
>> The president signed another treaty at dinner. More on that in a sec. But the Europeans are already telling 47 merci.
>> You've seen European leaders interact very warmly with you at the summit. Do you think that they're coming around to your worldview? Well, >> I think they think I was right.
>> I'm sort of always right.
>> They do call him daddy, but they can also call him this.
I'm the boss.
>> How are you? Thank you.
>> They gave the boss a big gift. The EU trade deal. We raised tariffs on him and they dropped a bunch of tariffs on us to zero. Money is being made and love was in the air.
He was in a hotel and I met him and we fell in love, deeply in love.
And he didn't even want to see Hillary.
He said, "You're going to win. I don't want to meet her." He said, "You're going to win." He didn't want to see her. Remember that?
>> The atmosphere was intoxicating.
Deals seemed to turn Trump on.
>> You know, deals are amazing. I've done them all my life. I've gone into deals that were 100% and they don't happen.
I've gone into deals that there is no chance of getting them done and it happens and they happen easily.
>> So, you never know with deals, do you?
But you're going to find out pretty soon. I think it'll be done. They want to sign.
>> They want to get back to a normal life.
>> And Fox News alert. President Trump just signed the Iran deal over dinner.
shining.
>> He said it.
>> They snapped a pick of the sheet and emailed it to the gay Ayatollah without Wi-Fi. He'll probably get it Friday. And prime time just got our hands on the deal. We've read it three times. It's only two pages. The headline, Iran's nuke program is over forever. The Mullers have agreed at the very least that their enriched uranium stockpiles will be destroyed on site and that the International Atomic Energy Agency, which means us, will supervise. Since Iran can't dig it out, we'd be the ones doing it. They only get sanctions relief after the dust is destroyed. And if Iran backs out, they've still agreed that they'll maintain the current status quo of their nuclear program. And the status quo is they have no nuke program. The uranium's buried, the centrifuges shattered, and their scientists are all dead. So status quo is still bueno. Even then, Iran agreed to this quote, "We shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. And if Iran so much as comes near the sites, it'll be trouble.
We have Space Force cameras on every single door. Every Well, there are no doors. They've been pretty well shattered. But every area of that, if somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his name on it, like Muhammad something, which is about a 50/50 guess, Muhammad something, they can tell the name. They can give you a serial number.
>> Moving on, the straight immediately opens. No attacks, no tolls, and we slowly lift the blockade. Iran's allowed to sell oil again. That means two things. One, the price of oil is going to fall. So will gas prices and inflation here. And two, China can't buy sanctioned Iranian oil at a discount anymore. They have to pay full price.
Oil closed today in the 70s, which was the exact same price it traded at before the war. So we're back. And here's where it gets a little cute. It says after 60 days Iran can talk to Oman and the Gulf states about how to manage the strait under international law. Now people are saying that that means Iran can go back to tolling. No, tolling the straight is illegal under international law and the Gulf States would never agree to tolling. They just put that language in there so that Iran can save face. And this just in. For the first time since the start of the war, Iran didn't fire at a single vessel in the straight. It's a pretty good signal. Next, there's going to be a $300 billion fund where Gulf neighbors, not us, Gulf neighbors will invest in rebuilding Iran. Any relief they receive under this deal, they'll have to get based on merit and it won't be from us. We don't have to give them anything. But some people may want to invest like what are you going to do? Say you can never ever invest in a country? I mean, it's pretty tough.
They need investment because we did a trillion and a half, maybe$2 trillion dollars worth of damage. So, somebody's going to have to help them out.
>> This isn't free money. The deal says that we control who does business in Iran. Quote, "We grant all required licenses, waiverss, and permissions needed." That means if Iran screws around, they don't get any investments.
Their country doesn't get rebuilt.
Usually, after we win wars, we like to rebuild the loser. Japan, Germany, the South after the Civil War. When neighbors do business, they usually don't go to war because war is bad for business. That's the thinking here.
Next, in terms of sanctions, the United States will only lift sanctions as a part of the final deal.
That means not now. That means when the dust's been destroyed and Iran signs the final deal, which is only going to get tougher. The deal also says the United States won't be reducing our force posture until the final deal is signed.
That means the two carrier strike groups remain in position, locked and loaded.
Also, Iran has to keep their dog on a leash. Hezbollah has to stand down. If they attack Israel, Israel can hit back and hit back hard. But Israel, they have to behave, too. We have a little dispute over Lebanon. I say you can do a little softer touch, BB. You don't have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah.
>> A senior official tells prime time that Netanyahu thinks the deal is a home run if Iran complies. But he's skeptical.
Here's the bottom line. They'll never have a nuclear weapon. The straits open.
The Ayatollah is dead. Their military's whipped. And we did it in three months with no ground troops. And Muhammad's not getting a penny until he performs.
And none of these pennies are even ours.
And as a bonus, the United States is now the world's biggest energy exporter. And hopefully, fingers crossed, we rewired the Middle East, so they make love, not war, and we don't have to babysit them.
Trump actually set the stage for peace in the Middle East in his first term by bombing the hell out of ISIS and whacking Iran's top general.
>> This was years in the making. You know why? Because I was the one that killed General Salammani.
And if I didn't kill General Solomony, we probably wouldn't be talking right now about this deal cuz he was a mad genius. A lot of people forget that. The tough guys, you know, the tough guys that would drive the country right down the tubes. Then Trump terminated the Obama deal. And in his second term, the president visited the Middle East first.
Remember, beefed up the Abraham Accords, sold the Arabs AI, cha-ching. And came home with trillions of American investments. Last week's air strikes and Project Freedom sealed this deal.
American deterrence is back and the Guard lost its leverage over the Strait when we started secretly shephering tankers out. Senior US officials tell Fox News that they don't trust the Iranians. They're not in the trust business, but the Iranians in private have been saying all the right things.
Now, that doesn't mean anything. This is a performance-based deal. If they BS us, we slap back the sanctions and the blockade and maybe bombs away.
>> If I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head.
>> What do you expect the worst?
>> If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head.
>> Now, you're hearing a lot of noise about the deal. Not everyone's gonna love it.
I get it. But Lindsey Graham and Ran Paul, polar opposites, both say it's good. So what happens next? The talks in Switzerland this weekend are critical.
In the first 30 days, the Iranians prioritized. We'll see how serious they are. One thing's clear, the Mullers, no Trump serious. They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said, "He's a stupid son of a bitch." The president's no sucker. He's been a part of deals that blew up.
That's why he's sending JD.
>> Why not stick around for the signing ceremony with this Iran peace deal?
>> I might.
>> You might.
>> Yeah, I might. But I'd rather This is a memorandum of understanding.
It's very important, but it might not be the kind of a document that I should be sending this way. If it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD. You better be careful, JD. He's going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here. Yeah, I like that idea.
>> But tonight, history in the making.
President Trump has officially now signed the quote memorandum of understanding, which seems to be very misunderstood with Iran uh at the Versailles of all places. Now, this multi-point performance is based, it's a base plan that now is in full full effect and a formal signing we expect to take place in two days. Now, here are the main takeaways. The straight of moves will be free. It will be clear there will be no tolls. Iran will never ever have a nuclear weapon if they uphold the terms of this working memorandum. Uh although it's not really relevant to what's been going on, Iran will be rewarded with sanctions relief.
The choice ultimately will be theirs. If they break the terms, well, President Trump said it pretty well, very clear, unambiguous. Hell will rain down on the IRGC. Take a look.
>> The only thing that really matters to me is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And it says it loud and clear.
They're not going to develop it. They're not going to buy it. And they're not going to do anything with it. And if they do, they suffer unbelievable consequences. They will not develop, purchase, buy, or any other thing.
They're not going to acquire a nuclear weapon. If they do, all hell will rain down on them.
all hell will rain down on them. Now, today the president re reiterated that commitment to blowing up Iran if in fact they do break the terms of this deal. He cannot be any more clear. Take a look.
>> I let him know. I said, "Look, if you don't adhere to the agreement, I don't want to do that, but we're going to bomb the hell out of you and I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement." What else am I going to do?
Am I going to say, "I'm going to take you to court. Let me take you to court.
Let me let me sue you." No, we're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement.
>> Now, I had a conversation with the president. I've talked to Steve Witoff.
I've talked to others in the administration. Uh there is so much more under the surface that has already been discussed in deep detail surrounding Iran and this working agreement. I see many people reacting to the memorandum itself that are completely ignoring those words of Donald Trump that he has no problem at all. He said it to me directly going back and bombing anytime he wants. And the guy, by the way, that wrote the art of the deal, well, he's been pretty clear where the red lines are. There's no ambiguity here. To me, his words are far more impactful than any memorandum. if you want to know what is in the president's head and what he's thinking. But anyway, he's a trust but verify guy. Anyway, so at the end of the day, if Iran doesn't comply, they have been told three times in two days what is to come and it's not reconstruction, it's not one American taxpayer dollar, uh it's not sanctions relief that will, you know, that their country desperately needs and hell will rain down from the sky. Who do YOU WANT TO BELIEVE?
DON'T WASTE ALL that energy just now.
We've got so much fun ahead.
>> Good evening everyone. In Chicago, an Asian college student has admitted to burning a cross to protest Donald Trump.
And in typical fashion, did it while maintaining a perfect 4.0.
The student was arrested after investigators were suspicious when he initially blamed the crew crux cray. Oh, wait. This would SAY >> JD Vance has been on a media tour promoting his book about Catholicism.
And last year he said that he hopes his Hindu wife Usha converts to Christianity.
And now there is hope. Once Usha saw her husband on the view, she no longer believes cows are sacred.
Yeah, >> but the vice president did a great job on the view yesterday, but it was the Secret Service who performed so bravely by jumping in front of JD every time Whoopi broke wind.
An Indonesian man was found barely alive after wandering lost in a mountain forest for three years. The amazing part, he passed another man who asked him for directions.
Sean Penn, the actor, is making a January 6th movie. And the film has already been rated IQ13.
Bradley Cooper is playing a capital cop.
And guess who's playing the capital?
During an event in New York City, Hillary Clinton criticized Joe Biden's decision to run again in 2024. She said, "I blame myself for not strangling him first."
"And finally, a German man has assembled the world's largest Lego sausage." "And I know just where to put it," said one man.
"All right, what do you expect?"
Yes. Okay.
>> So, once again, we stopped a nutty plot to kill the president and his supporters. A terror attack targeting Sunday's UFC fight at the White House.
At least a dozen keyboard rebels armed with rifles plan to hit the South Lawn with explosive drones and snipers targeting politicians, the crowd, and anyone who supports this evil government or Israel. These rejects held grudges against Trump, billionaires, capitalist elites, and anyone who's ever taken money from Apac, which is code for the Jews.
Sound familiar? Yep. It's the same envydriven poison we've heard from the left, and primarily the dude whose chest screams Gestapo while his beard screams village people.
Both these fanatics and Graham Platner see with hatred for Jews, the rich, and capitalism. Basically, anyone or anything that's been successful. That's why you don't see them railing against Jim Aosta.
And yet, the Dems still support the Nazi tattooed Graham who's been accused of everything from insulting dead soldiers to mocking teen suicide. Why? Because they want to win. Which leads us to their strategy for defending him.
They'll say if Platner loses then the Republicans would still hold the Senate, which means the Supreme Court will become more right-wing and millions of innocent women and children will die.
Which is the same filter of existential crisis they use on everything. If you believe Trump's a danger to life as we know it, then it justifies anything like voting for a creep with a Nazi tattoo.
Now, if you truly believe it's either Platiner or the end of the world, I get it. But I know the Dems don't believe that.
cuz they use the same doomsday defense on everything. You keep using a gas stove, the ice cap ice caps will melt and the world will end. If we check ID before voting, we will return to Jim Crow or worse, slavery. January 6, remember, worse than 9/11. And the CO virus will kill both young and old unless you have the natural immunity of a packed BLM rally.
And if you keep reading Killilme's books, your IQ will plummet.
Okay, they were right on that one. And of course, they justified electing a president with spam for brains who couldn't find his way off a stage with a ways app.
Fact is, the Dems never say, "Eh, the world's going to be fine if we lose this one." Now, what if you don't believe the end is nigh but still vote for Platner?
That means you don't think he's a toxic male or you don't care, which means your authority on matters of misogyny no longer carry any weight. So, when you scream about a fighter calling a first lady a man, we don't care. When you bring up Trump's so-called treatment of women, it falls on deaf ears. And when you condemn me for wearing a speedo at my job review, no longer resonates.
So Platner's support relies on the scuzziest reason of all that, you know, there's no existential crisis and you know Platner's a creep, but you will still back him cuz he's a Democrat. And let's be real, that's exactly what 99% of the party hacks are doing. And the entire Powermad left has built a sick little framework to excuse it. So if you're a Democrat, ponder this. Your party needs you to believe it's the end of the world. So you'll vote for their awful, awful ideas, which when you really think about it, should be the reason to never vote for them ever again. I mean, if someone says, "The world's going to end unless you go home with me," would you buy that? Hell, it's never worked for me.
Let's welcome tonight's guest.
This is good. She talks so fast every 75,000 words they have to rotate her fillings. Co-host have outnumbered Emily Kapo.
>> He's proof that hard work and talent are all words with letters. Comedian Jeff Dy.

So Emily, when you look at these this latest crop of kind of like creepy nobodies, they always sound exactly the same as other creepy nobies who also sound just like most leftists on Blue Sky and elsewhere >> and horrifically half of Congress.
>> Hating the billionaires, hating the capitalist elites, hating the oligarchs, hating the kings. All of this language has come out of every single elected official's mouth and those candidates.
You're exactly right. The only way that it is excusable or credible for someone to say, "I am voting for an, let's say, anti-Semitic rapist, you know, idiot, anti veteran, waste of flesh will be because the alternative is a complete crisis, right?
>> It is them or your death. The Democrat party has built up such a narrative.
It's like the other day I saw a video of a plane about to crash land and it was like fighting the wind. It was super crazy. It made it and it was going viral because someone said, "Oh, a tray table must have been down, right? Ingest."
Because these stewartes always say, you know, if the trade table's down during landing, like we're all going to die.
That's the Democrat party every day with everything because it's the only way that they >> What airline do they say that?
>> I'm not getting on that. Her point's good. She says that they act like the littlest details will cause destruction.
You know, turn off your phones, >> right? And also, who believes that guy is 19?
>> He is literally 65.
>> Do we have a picture of him?
>> It's It's up right now.
>> Yeah. I can't see it. Everything that those kids that those you know their brains are not formed yet new bile unicellular organisms everything that they talked about on signal thinking that it was private was exactly what we have read in the Washington Post and the New York Times and by the Democrat party mouthpieces and half of Congress which is railing against vilifying and villainizing our president. How many more attempted assassinations do we have to go through?
How many more plots do we have to thwart? And by the way, remember the UFC, you know, the details weren't announced until semi-reently. So the extent of this complicated plot was devised in a short amount of time. We need to stay on our guard because I think a lot worse is next because the Democrat party isn't learning any lessons. I >> I have a question.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Which one's 19?
>> Top right.
>> We couldn't put them.
>> You're joking.
>> No, that's what I'm saying.
>> The top right is 19.
>> Yeah. So you beat 13. I want the I want the opposite of his skincare routine.
>> No, but you know what? You know what?
>> You're bringing a good point here.
Ugliness is not you. You start in a hole when you're really ugly, Jeff. You wouldn't know. But that guy was like bald when he was 15.
>> I know. Yeah. He's angry.
>> You know, a lot of these people are not good-looking. And there's a lot of research that says if you're unattractive, >> he's already pissed off. He's at the bottom of the hierarchy.
>> Yeah. And you know there's but he could have >> Did you borrow hair from the guy in the bottom?
>> Yeah, >> they just met. You know they're >> they're friends on Reddit.
>> I've said this before. Ugly people have no Gandhi.
>> So Jeff, um rather than just smiling like a cute little boy that you are, >> why don't you add to this conversation?
>> All right. I didn't know if you were ready for me. Here's the thing. I don't know why it's so popular or in vogue for violence to be such a thing. Whether it's a small protest, whether it's I was defending myself, whether it's he was racist, whether it's this ide whatever it is, it's it might just be my world, but it seems like it's >> all the time.
>> It's always someone going, "Yeah, but you don't know they were provoked or you don't know that this was a thing or it was because Trump is this." I actually historically the more well the more Trump is uh trying to get assassinated the more I'm kind of rooting for him.
>> Yeah.
>> Historically >> they assassinated Lincoln Martin Luther King they they they try to kill us JFK and so the more they >> Wait you're rooting for the assassin.
>> No I'm saying >> I'm saying you might be on to something you like you start to go oh the people that they try to kill are very often the people that are on the right side of history.
>> Yes. Yes. And so, you know, like, and also the more unhinged Trump Trump says things like the more I get it. It's like, yeah, you tried to blow his head off yesterday. It's going to be a big deal.
>> Yeah. You know, and Cat underlying a lot of this stuff is the rhetoric of envy, >> you know? Uh, and it's like they look at successful people and rather than emulate, they destroy because it's more effort to emulate than it is to just say, "I don't want that." It remind all of this reminds me the person who it reminds me the most of is Mark David Chapman. He took out probably the most.
Is that the guy? That's the guy who killed John Lennon.
>> Everybody's looking at me like I'm speaking Martian.
>> I didn't know the guy.
>> Oh, but it's like >> here's this amazing, brilliant musician.
I can't be that.
>> I'm going to kill him. I will be as famous as he is. That's what this is.
But anyway, that was my digression.
>> I definitely think that's part of it. I think that loneliness and isolation can be another part of it. And then adding on top of that, when you're lonely and you're isolated, what do people do? They go on they go online and then they meet each other and then they talk to each other and then it just gets worse and worse and spirals and spirals. But also to the point of the rhetoric and and and it's just okay. So in if you are saying over every little thing constantly saying this is the end of everything we're all going to die in a relationship and any other relationship that is emotional abuse.
>> But in politics it's business as usual.
>> Yes.
>> And >> that is true.
We're all supposed to just accept that and and and not notice that and oh that's just how politics is. But it shouldn't be how it is. Yeah.
>> Because it it it has real life consequences. Not just this, but even stuff like I bring this up all the time.
People hating family members. People saying, "Oh, that person voted for this person. Therefore, this person is not a human in my eyes anymore."
>> Yeah. You want me to die? You vote for Trump. You want me to die? I mean, we've we've had I I heard somebody yesterday saying that people are trying to kill me. And I'm like, who? Nobody's nobody even knows you.
>> But you know, you know what it the Democrat party, Tyrus, reminds me of a guy at the bar convincing a woman to have sex with him by saying the world could end tomorrow.
>> You're you're close. He's the guy at the bar convincing the guy next to him to kill the woman who wouldn't give him her phone number.
>> Oh, >> like darker.
>> Well, this This is dark. I mean, this is I don't understand. President Trump supposedly incited a riot January 6. These politicians are inciting assassinations.
Why are they not being impeached?
>> Yeah, >> I don't understand it. They are the cause. They're the They are the cause and the effect. This isn't It's no longer guys seeking for attention. These are We talked about this before. They said it long enough. It's working. They now have soldiers and and ter domestic terrorists to do their work. How are they any different than Ayatollah inspiring young men who have nothing in ISIS to put >> bombs on their chest and run into Jewish hotels and stuff? It's the same thing.
It's happening in real time. President Trump said best enemy from within. It's not within anymore. It's in broad daylight. They go on TV every day. They say these things over and over again.
Then you have the media is even worse.
And if every time something does happen, what's the first thing come with? It's fake. Trump faked it. He faked the FBI's lying. They're >> they fake theirs, the the ones they claim.
>> So >> what it is is that our way of life is under attack, but we're the ones still wearing white gloves, and they're not.
And at some point, we have to start treating them like they're terrorists.
And when the when a senator comes out and says the things that they say this is war and we need to go to the streets and you know we need to do these things those senators need to be arrested.
