Boy, we're prohibited by law. See terms and conditions. The memorandum of understanding is now over. It is dead. President Trump now says there is no more ceasefire. And the question now is, what will he do next? What should he do next? Nikki in Bradford. Thanks for holding Nikki and welcome. Hi, Jeff. Well, here goes my blood pressure again. Looks like the holiday's over. I don't know. I don't know what's more infuriating. Who are the bigger idiots? Those, quote, in charge of Iran or those hags on the view. And I don't know which is a bigger crime. The hags on the view for 10 plus years, however the heck long they've been on there, or the fact that the Iranians thought, the leaders thought that they could pull a fast one on Trump and the United States. And I'd also like to know, what does England and all those that said, oh, no, we don't want to get involved with this. What are they thinking now? A bunch of cowards. Well, you know, Nikki, Trump really went scorched earth on not just Britain, on France, on Germany, on Italy, on France, on Germany, on Italy, on Canada, on most of the NATO members, not all, but most, saying, you know, you're free riders, you guys, we spent trillions of dollars over the years protecting you during the Cold War. After the Cold War, forgive me. And he said, when we needed you in Iran, none of you stepped up. In fact, Nikki, I don't know if you heard, it's breaking as well. There's a lot of breaking news this morning. Spain, during the entire war that we had, the fighting phase, the kinetic phase, as it's called, Operation Epic Fury, Spain wouldn't even allow us to use their airspace.

to launch some of our bombing strikes. We're not even using bases in Spain, just to fly over Spain. Now, we've been protecting Spain for, I don't know how many decades, and it's cost us, I don't know, how many billions of dollars, and yet they have a radical socialist government. And they even refused to let us use their airspace. Well, Trump has announced, I think maybe two hours ago, saying he's cutting off all trade between the United States and Spain. No trade whatsoever. Nothing. We're not going to take anything from Spain. We're not going to sell anything to Spain. So he's basically now telling NATO he's done that he, you know, he said, look, we didn't need your help. But it would have been nice had you volunteered because most of your oil and liquidified natural gas, it comes through the Strait of Hormuz. None of the gas that we use goes through the strait. It goes to you in Europe. It doesn't go to us. And to him, it was the general principle, and I so agree with him. You know, when you needed us in World War I, we were there. In World War II, we were there. During the entire Cold War, we were there. Who kept the Soviets out? It was us. Who's kept the peace in Europe since the end of the Cold War? The last 35 years, it was us. You say you're afraid of Vladimir Putin, who's given Ukraine, hundreds of billions of dollars? Who armed them to the teeth? Us. And now? When we try to save the world or at least protect the world from these savages getting a nuclear bomb, you freeloaders, you deadbeats, you can't even chip in a couple of troops or a couple of fighter jets or maybe, you know, a ship here, like in Britain's case, because they still have a little bit of a navy, maybe a destroyer here or a ship here or an aircraft carrier, a little something to contribute. So, as he put it, no, you guys are a bunch of leeches and parasites. You want us to do all the spending, all the heavy lifting, take all of the risks, protect you as you ride our back. Well, as he told them, those days are over. I'm done with you guys. And so we're going to see exactly what's going to happen. But, Nikki, you're completely right. So Trump said we're going to do what we have to do, but Nikki, you can feel it. The NATO alliance is never going to be the same again. Our relationships with Europe and Canada are never going to be the same again. And our relationship with NATO is never going to be the same again because they've been unmasked. They've been exposed. You know, we've spent so much money. and shed so much blood to protect them. And whenever we ask them to help us out a little bit, just a little bit, they're not willing to give us the shirt off their back. You know, and as Trump said, this is a very different Europe now. In fact, I want to play the cut. It's a very powerful cut. He says, you've been so inundated with migration, third world illegal immigration.

And you guys have gone all in on this climate change. And your energy costs are so expensive. You've destroyed your middle class. He goes, if you guys aren't careful, there's going to be no Europe left. You're literally committing suicide. And you're spitting at us because we're the only ones willing to save the world. I've got to tell you, Nikki. I think the Europeans now have really screwed themselves. I don't think the American people are ever going to support what we used to do for them. And I think it's time for us to change our entire relationship with NATO. It's clearly a one-way street. And to me, that's not friendship. That to me is they're users. And they've been using us forever. And I think it's time to end. Final word to you, Nikki. Agree, disagree. I absolutely agree. It's like, you know, what you tell your kids on shore, I've told my girls, my mother, my parents told us, you know, you get older, you realize who you real friends are. And sometimes it's just easier to stop the bleeding and cut it loose and focus on the ones that reciprocate. And, you know, you make the whole you, you care about things and you make time for the things and the people that you care about. And clearly, but Trump cares more about the people. And the United States care more about the people of Iran than their own leadership does. And certainly all the cowards over in Europe. And they are. Oh, no, their leadership. You nailed it. They really are cowards. Self-serving, selfish cowards. That's what they are. Short-sighted, too, by the way. Because they're going to lose a lot more than what they've gained. You take away American troops and American power. What's going on, everyone? It's Bluff here, and you know what's more American than America's 250th birthday?

When you deal with these people, most of them, Jeff, are all the ancestors of the Babylonians, which are total destruction of terrorists back in the biblical days. Jeff, they don't think straight. They don't care. And as I said, a couple weeks back, Jeff, they're snakes. You cannot deal with a rattlesnake, Jeff. It's because it's going to come back and bite you. And so what are we going to do, Jeff? Trump has every right to do what he's going to have to do because they don't want to know anything about anything. And when you get all these moths over here, and who knows what they're preaching inside the mosque, and how many terrorists and sleeper cells are over here, Jeff? So it's going to happen one way or the other, Jeff. Jeff, we're dealing with the, in the book of Revelation, Jeff, it's going to go one way or the other. Hopefully it goes the other way so things will settle down for a while. But, Jeff, it's not going to change. You cannot deal with these people over there, Jeff. Dave, I agree with you completely. And I think Trump feels burned. I think he feels he's invested a lot in this memorandum of understanding. Now, I understand he, you know, he always said, hey, look, if we can't do it the easy way, i.e. through a diplomatic negotiation, we'll have to do it the hard way. And it's always better, you know, and frankly easier to do it the easy way than the hard way. But look, it's obvious. They never, ever intended. Nobody did. Not the so-called moderates, never mind the hardliners. They were never interested in any kind of a deal. They want the Strait of Hormuz. They want to get a nuclear weapon. And they think that they can string us along, help the Democrats win in November. That's their strategy. And then defeat Trump at the midterms. And then Trump will be so paralyzed and crippled by the Democrats. He can't do anything regarding Iran or the Strait or their nuclear program. So that's been their strategy the whole time. And I think now the only issue for Trump, the only issue now that matters is how do we bring Iran to heal? Or, you know, there is another option, which is just leave. Just literally just say, okay, I'm done, bye. And, you know, tell NATO, tell the Europeans, tell the Asians, tell everybody, because they rely on their oil from that part of the world. We don't.

and say, you know what, it's your mess, you guys clean it up. You know, so if you want to leave Iran in control, we can leave them in control, but I'm telling you, you're going to be at their mercy. So if you want them, you know, with their, you know, with their boot on your, on your economic jugular, if that's what you guys want, that's your funeral. It's not mine. So he either can just say, no, I'm done, we're leaving, or. He can, you know, at a minimum, resume the blockade, which would really paralyze the Iranian economy. And if he wants to, he's already cut off their oil. So the oil sanctions waiver that they had has now been rescinded. So now they can't sell any oil. So they've already lost, I don't know how many billions of dollars. And who knows, he may even just order a massive military bombing campaign. So we're going to see what's going to happen, Dave. Look, whatever he decides, I think the world will now back him. They're not going to give us any help. But I think they're going to say he clearly has a green light to do whatever he wants because the Iranians have been so intransigent and so unreasonable, honestly so primitive. This is beyond primitive. He gave them the deal of the century. Honestly, they're mad. That's why he's saying they're sick. They're cuckoo, as he put it. Nobody walks away from a deal like this. So, you know, again, you're talking to medieval savages. So forget it. It's like a caveman. You know, you offer a caveman, a beautiful home, computers, the internet, iPads, cars, you know, whatever, millions of dollars in the bank. All he wants is that club and he wants to smash you in the head. That's all he knows. That's what he is. So Trump, and I think Trump also now can sell it to the Iranian people. I think everybody's overlooking that. Not just that the American people will say, well, they're really unreasonable or the Europeans or the Asians or the world. I think the Iranian people now, to them, all he's got to do now is say, look, here is what we agreed to with the MOU. Here is what I was going to give you. The whole country, you, this is what you were all going to benefit from. I gave you everything. And your guys shot at ships and vessels? Your guys violated the ceasefire and are itching to go back to war? Don't look at me. Look at the IRGC. Look at your regime. They're the only ones now standing in the way between you and a future you could even have imagined even a month ago or whatever, six, you know, three months ago. He's giving them, he's giving them the modern world. He's giving them $500 billion. He's giving them full reintegration into the Middle East, into the world economy. He's going to make them a normal, prosperous country. He's giving their children and grandchildren a future these people could never imagine on a silver Graham Platner.

And these savages, Allah, haqvah, death to America, death to Trump. Okay? After a while, I don't know what to tell you. Look, let me even go even further, okay? God is my witness. I don't care. I don't like any of these countries in the Middle East. You know my feelings on them. I don't like Qatar. I don't like all these Shia law, forgive me, these Sharia law Muslim Islamist states. I don't like any of them. I don't like Turkey. I don't like Qatar. I don't like the UAE. I don't like Saudi Arabia. I don't like Pakistan. I don't like any of them. I don't like that head chopper that runs Syria. I don't like any of them. they would all take the deal. I'm telling you, they would all take the deal because they're a level above these savages. There's only two countries in the entire world that would not take this deal. The Taliban in Afghanistan, because they're that primitive, and these savages in Tehran. That's it. Every other country in the world, they would take the deal. So what I'm trying to say is even a mass murderer, a serial killer. What's going on, everyone? It's Bluff here.

Thanks for holding Tim and welcome. Morning, Jeff, my friend, as always, I love you in a non-sexual manner. Thank you, Tim. Buddy, what do you make of Trump's obvious frustration now? He's had it. He's hit the boiling point. The ceasefire. The MOU is over. What do you think he's going to do? What do you think he should do? Well, my first thought was when I heard this was, who is advising the president? And then I came to the realization. The problem is... in the United States and the Western world, but particularly here, we seem to feel every time we end up in a war with somebody, we are up against a Western enemy, one who believes in things like the Geneva and Hague conventions, the rules of war, all that kind of stuff. Well, we haven't fought an enemy like that since the Germans in World War, too. I mean, they were scumbags, yeah, but for the most part. at least against the Western allies, they followed the rules of the so-called rules of war. But from the imperial Japanese forward, Korea, Vietnam, the global war on terror, we've been up against enemies who don't care about any of that stuff. As a matter of fact, in the Muslim world, these people are so fanatical, they will tell you, we would much rather die. because dying for Allah is oh so great. So, I mean, how can you even negotiate with something like that? I think what Trump has got to do, I mean, like I've said before, I don't like wars, but if you decide to go that route, you've got to commit. I think he should go in with the blockade, the bombing, and I would offer no timelines on anything. I think they do that, too, to placate the anti-West, anti-U.S. media, which, of course, is on Iran side and hates our country. Plus, they know that is one thing, these molas don't care about collateral damage, but they will militarize targets like schools, mosques. And all because they become legitimate targets under international law. But then if we hit them or Israel does, look, they're committing genocide. They're killing innocent Muslims and the Western media runs with it and, you know, denounces them. I'd say to hell with it. Trump should just tell them. Here's what we're up against. I mean, we fought Muslim enemies in the past, you know, in 1803. in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century, that campaign against the Muslim fanatics in Mindanao was brutal. So brutal, we developed the whole weapon system because of it. So, I mean, unfortunately, you know, they might think it's a situation where we can all, you know, trade a few blows, sit down and sing kumbaya, but...

Portrait, those people are never going to agree to it. I think Trump's either got to go all in until either they're so battered, they come begging him or they're all gone. Tim, what I want to do is I want to play a cut and I want to get your reaction because I think it really sums up perfectly what you're saying. So Trump is now at the NATO summit in Turkey. And he's going to say, I don't like these people, meaning the Iranians. And then he says, I like all of these leaders, meaning these European leaders. And he's been chastising them. In fact, he's been criticizing them, saying, look, they're not treating us fairly. It's never reciprocal. It's always one way. But he says, listen, I'm going to call it the way it is. When they sign a deal, they adhere to the deal, meaning Europeans and Canadians, Westerners. And even what, look, he goes, I know why they don't want to help us. It's rational. I mean, I don't like it. I don't think it's fair. But he's saying it's rational. Why? They want a mooch off of us. Right? They don't want to spend more on defense and on military. They want to spend more on welfare and social programs and other things. So, yeah, they're writing our back because they think it's in their interest. So I may not like them. I may think it's, you know, it's insulting to us and unfair to us. But, you know, they're sane, rational people. What I'm dealing with with these Iranians, or as you would put it, Tim, they're Western, meaning sane and rational. Whatever you think about them, they go, well, yeah, okay, they're being unfair and they're being really selfish, but I get it, it's got self-interest for them. It's sane, it's rational. These people, he goes, I've never negotiated with anything like this in my life. Roll cut 6B, Mike. I don't like these people, you know that? I like him. I like the leaders. I like, I think all of these leaders. Great. And they're lovely. I think they didn't treat the United States fairly for many years, but that's okay. But they're sane, rational, good people. Most of them. I don't like a couple of them, to be honest. So he's saying, you know, I don't like some of these European leaders, but look, I don't care what you say. They're sane rational people. He's pointing around, you know, Maloney, Emmanuel Macron, whatever, Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, you know, the new Prime Minister of England. Like, okay. But those savages, the Ayatollahs, as he put it, cuckoo, sick, sick. Tim, final word to you. Well, I totally agree, and I think he's right to cut off Spain, and he should tell them. And from what I understand now, a country like Denmark, I mean, I know the rest of Western Europe surrendered to the Muslim Horde, but from what I've been seeing recently, Denmark, they're finally waking up and decide we don't want these people here anymore. We don't want parallel societies and no-go zones.

When the EU High Court went to them, complained about it being racist, they basically told him your objection is noted, noted, blank off. Blank off. No, I'm with you. Tim, thank you very much for that call. Linda in Medford, and really that should be the answer when it comes to Muslim migration and what they're doing to Europe. And Trump warned them again, by the way. He goes, this climate change agenda you guys are pushing, it's going to destroy your economy. And immigration, Muslim immigration, you won't have a civilization left. Your answer to the EU should be blank off. There will be no France, no Italy, no Germany, no Spain, no England, no, no, there won't be Europe if you guys continue on this path. He goes, okay. I mean, I'm just telling you, it's up to you. I mean, I'm not the president of Europe. I'm the president of the United States. But you guys are committing suicide. I want you to know that. Linda in Medford, thanks for holding Linda and welcome. As far as NATO goes, I agree with all the above. I think for decades, it's been nothing but a money pit. so that countries don't have to pay for their own military, and they don't contribute anything when there's conflict. The other place I'd like to get rid of as well is the U.N. I think the U.N. is just another big money pit. I understand the cafeteria there has filet mignon and all sorts of great foods. The Afghanistan joined the UN, but Afghanistan will not allow any women. There will be no women from Afghanistan. If Benjamin Netanyahu or a Jew gets up to speak, they get up and lead. So what's the point of the UN? Aren't those of the problems it's supposed to be solving? I say... Close it down and turn it in for housing for the homeless veterans. Linda, I got to tell you, I so agree with you. I know people listening or say, oh, it may be a bit extreme. No, I think the United Nations is a useless institution. It is dominated by third world dictatorships. You mentioned how many of them are Islamic. and deeply anti-Semitic and deeply anti-American. And the point is, okay, at least you can say, well, it's a debating society. Okay, let's just, you know, okay, well, at least we get our points of view expressed and heard. But you're right. When America speaks, they walk out. When Israel speaks, they walk out. when Western leaders, he's not in power now, but he was in power for many years, Viktor Orban from Hungary, when the Hungarians got up to speak and to denounce Muslim migration into Europe, they just all got up and left. So the point is, well, if you're all going to walk up and leave, then you're not even a debating society. We're not even here to, you know, you can't even say we're here to exchange, you know, views and I listen to your point of view, you listen to my point of view. So if that's the case,

either blow up the building, sell it, or house veterans, and kick the UN, I don't know, the Europeans, if the Europeans love it so much, give it to the Europeans, whatever, give it to the Middle East, give it to whoever. I think we should pull out of the UN. I think we should pull out of NATO. I think there are a bunch of ingrates. I think it's been a one-way street with these people now for a very long time. And Trump is right. We have dumped trillions, not billions, trillions of dollars to protect the Europeans. And, you know, we didn't ask for much, but we get into a war with Iran and what do they do? They literally stab us in the back. Spain, unforgivable. What that socialist government did. They wouldn't forget using bases that we pay for on their soil. As Trump said, the Italians wouldn't let us use the bases that we pay for. The Germans wouldn't let us use the bases that we pay for. The Spaniards were the worst. They wouldn't even let us use their airspace. Forget the air bases. They wouldn't even let us fly over Spain. But if they ever get attacked, American boys have to fight for Madrid and Barcelona? I don't think so. No, you've been screwing us, ripping us off, taking advantage of us for decades. This is not friendship. This is abuse. These are a bunch of leeches and parasites. And like what Trump said yesterday about Denmark. I got the cut. I'll play it. I thought it was beautiful what he said. What the hell is Denmark ever done for Greenland? Greenland is just sitting there. They don't spend a penny. The Russians and the Chinese are circling it like a bunch of sharks. They're making a play for the North Atlantic. And the Europeans won't lift a finger. We say, we'll take it over. And we'll run it, we'll pay for it, and it'll be used to protect us and all of Europe. And we're the bad guys? Blank off. Enough is enough. Linda, thank you so much for that call. Okay, Dr. Grace putting liberals in their place. We've got her. Grace Voto, full disclosure. I marry down. Or sorry, she married down. Forgive me. I married up. She married down. So I'm happy that she married me because frankly, I don't know what she sees in me, but she saw something. So I married up, she married down, because many of you keep saying, you know, Jeff, you say she married, you know, you married up. Well, why don't you say the truth? She married down. I'm like, okay, she married down. And I thank her every day for it. Grace, how are you?

Jeff, for a moment I thought I was on the wrong show. Did I marry up? I got confused. Grace, I got to say, you called it. You said that memorandum of understanding, that so-called ceasefire, wasn't worth the paper it was written on. The Iranians would eventually stab us in the back. They were going to break this thing. There wasn't a question of if. It was a question of when. I got to say, I thought the Ayatollahs would at least milk a few more billions of dollars out of this. before they, you know, just started shooting up commercial vessels and oil tankers. But no, they're so primitive. They won't even take the money. So they've already broken the ceasefire. Trump now, it's breaking as I speak to you, now says that we are going to hit him again tonight, and we're going to hit him very hard. He says you're going to see a massive bombing campaign begin tonight. So I don't know if the war is back on. But clearly the ceasefire is over. What say you? Well, Jeff, I want to begin with a small personal story. I had lunch yesterday with a dear friend of mine who is from Iran. And she was white as a ghost. And when I asked her what her thoughts are, she said the regime now in Iran is stronger than ever. The IRGC is stronger than ever. When she calls her family members there, they're afraid to say anything on the phone. The only thing she asks is, are you okay? And they say yes or no. The people there cannot afford basic necessities. The food of everything is sky high. And when I hugged her and said, okay, have a great day at the end. It was nice to see you. She said, within our lifetime, I'm not going to see the IRGC leave Iran. That's how gloomy she was. And she said it's been so difficult to hear the stories of how they have cut down the cream of their youth. The killings have been beyond even what we know here in the United States. So we have to start by having a very stark analysis. They're not crazy in the sense that they're insane. They have very clear strategic goals. And this war has allowed them to achieve those goals. And unless we recognize that, we don't know how to deal with them. What are their goals, Jeff? They have said, and I think we just have to start listening to what they say. The president has to realize he's not dealing with another businessman here. This is not a business transaction. He's very good at making a deal if two parties have a rational goal that they both want to achieve to make money. He's very good at that. But he seems to get lost when it comes to understanding that.

as the president of the united states he's not there to make a business deal he's there to represent national interests and the other party on the other side is representing a national interest doesn't matter if they like each other don't like each other it's about national interest so you gotta start at the beginning here what did iran say iran said they're not giving up their nuclear program so they told us that they're not giving it up They've also said they don't want Israel there in the Middle East. They want death to Israel. They've said that. So those are their two large strategic goals. What did they say after that? Once they realized that they control the Strait of Hormuz, they've told us, and now we're not letting go. Because guess what? This war has elevated them. They went from a regional player to now being able to control my grocery price and your grocery price. That's intoxicating for them. So why should they give that up? So we have to understand that this war from the United States point of view has been a disaster. And from the point of view of the IRGC has been a success for them. Because they are making progress in those three goals. They have told the world they're not giving up their nuclear weapon. And now we went to war with them, and we haven't been able to relinquish their program from them, even though, you know, setting it back. They've told the world they don't want peace. And they're not giving us peace. And they've told the war, guess what now, guys? Now we can control the straight of our moves. So they've only gotten stronger. And the president has to make a decision here. And there's no getting around this decision. And both options are terrible. Either he commits to a massive loss of American life. Does he want American boys to die? I would literally go in there and say, listen, Mr. President, both options are very bad. So just choose one. Either you go in there with American troops, there's going to be a lot of dead young men and women coming back home. Do you want that? Yes or no? If you're okay with that, we've got to retake the street of Hormuz, period. You can come home after that and say that. You know what? You set the regime back, and now the Strait of Hormuz is free again. Or you say, I've done enough, and we just go home. That's it. Both of these options are bad. They're very, very bad. And at this point, you have no choice. You have to choose one. And to not choose one is going to put you into this path right now of appearing to be completely incompetent in the eyes of the whole world. Let me ask you, there is a third option, which is reimposed the blockade, which would economically cripple Iran, then launch a massive bombing campaign and missile strikes with Israel in order to pound the Iranians into submission, hit their oil infrastructure.

hit their bridges, take out some of their power grids, further decapitate the regime, kill almost all of the top IRGC leaders. In other words, you don't need to commit to massive ground troops and body bags coming back. You can keep the troops out, or maybe you can arm some of the opposition groups. But in other words, pound them from the air, pound them from our battleships and with the use of our tomahawk missiles in combination with Israel and hit him so hard that this time they have to relinquish control over the Strait of Hormuz. What say you? I think again, Jeff, this is the mistake that is being made. This is a part of the world that likes war, and we don't like war. We're a pragmatic people that want to get on with the business of freedom and people making money and leading their lives individually. They love war. You go down this road, and that's going to suck us in two years of war with them. So it's obvious that the president wants some kind of a relatively... short-term solution and there's only two of the short-term solutions at this point i know it's tough medicine but i would say you have to decide this Do you want another American soldier to die? Yes or no? If the answer is no, you've got to accept this. You lost. You lost. So just get out. Get out and save the rest of your presidency. I know it's tough medicine, Jeff. But believe it or not, you're the one that taught me all of this. Because sometimes when I was making a business decision and I was getting in quicksand, You told me over and over again, Grace, sometimes the hardest decision in the world is to cut your losses. And I learned that lesson. And I see that very clearly now. There's a lot. This is a disaster. Okay. So you have to face it. Sometimes we fail in life. He failed in this. He should never have gone in. He made a huge mistake. I think it's apparent to almost everybody that this is a disaster. Interesting. Okay. Dr. Grace, as always, I appreciate your candor and your honesty. What's going on, everyone? It's Bluff here, and you know what's more American than America's 250th birthday?
