Trump on Iran:

Nobody wants to be the leader of Iran anymore.

They said, "Who would like to be the president?" and everyone said, "No, thank you."

Trump:

Fake news said Iran was much stronger today than it was 4 months ago.

They are dying to make a deal.

They are giving us a lot.

Trump:

The killing of Soleimani was one of the biggest things ever to happen in the Middle East.

Trump:

I think Khomeini and others in Iran were happy that I killed Soleimani.

Because they were afraid of him too.

Trump calls Obama's Iran deal "JCPOC."

Trump:

Zer-ooooo.

Trump on Venezuela:

They had a tremendous earthquake. A lot of people were killed.

We have a lot of people there helping.

Venezuela has been fantastic. We have a great relationship.

Trump:

I cannot tell a lie.

Trump:

When you see a young man or woman walking around without legs...

NEW: OpenAI is releasing its new GPT-5.6 family — Sol, Terra, and Luna — to about 20 trusted partners first, after the Trump administration requested a pre-release review for cybersecurity risks.

CEO Sam Altman told staff the government will approve access "customer by customer," calling it the fastest path to broader release in the coming weeks.

He said the arrangement "is not our preferred long-term model."

The move follows export controls on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models and stems from a June 2 executive order letting AI developers grant pre-release government access.

BIG: Burkina Faso severed diplomatic relations with France effective today, accusing Paris of "neocolonial ambitions" and supporting "subversive networks and terrorists" in the Sahel.

The official communiqué says the conditions for mutual respect and non-interference "are no longer met."

Burkina Faso expelled French troops (2023), kicked out diplomats (2024), and quit the Francophonie (2025).

The Pentagon confirms that six Marine Corps F-35B jets have been delivered without radars, due to delays in the new AN/APG-85 system, which won't begin production until April 2028.

F-35 Joint Program Office head Lt. Gen. Gregory Masiello acknowledged the radarless jets cannot be considered fully mission capable.

Tucker Carlson:

Who's getting paid to be anti-Israel?

I've been very critical of Israel. I've never taken a dollar from anybody.

I've never, and I would never, take money to give an opinion.

Tucker Carlson:

I actually really like Qatar a lot, and I think the people who run it are amazing, but I've never taken any money from Qatar, and I never would.

Tucker Carlson:

"Let's prolong the war on behalf of the Netanyahu regime" position does seem to be funded by somebody, because that's not an organic position in the United States.

Türkiye is dispatching two A400M aircraft carrying around 60 personnel — including AFAD rescue experts, military Humanitarian Aid Brigade members, Red Crescent staff, medics, and search dogs — to Venezuela after a devastating magnitude 7.5 earthquake.

Tucker Carlson:

There was no American intelligence saying Iran was on the brink of building a nuclear weapon.

That came from Israel, and they lied—and they lied to Trump.

I told him that before this started because it was obvious.

So why would the United States ever rely on Israeli intelligence again if they just lied us into a war that got a bunch of Americans killed and raised gas prices?

Tucker Carlson:

I'm under no illusions about my power.

I don't seem to have any power to change any event, unfortunately.

I argued with Trump for ten years against doing this. He took other counsel. That shows you how much power I have—zero.

So I was not able to prevent this.

And I don't think I had any role in ending it.

Bessent:

We had to go in Iran because they were two weeks away if they wanted from a nuclear weapon.

Bessent:

I went to the meeting with Mayor Mamdani and President Trump looked at him... and said, 'You're the leader of the Democratic party.'

So Donald Trump predicted what's going on back in December.

Tucker Carlson:

It was a year ago that the president and Mark Levin were at some event, and Levin basically puts him in a headlock.

Donald Trump is much larger—a big man. Levin is a dwarfish man. So he kind of leans up and pulls him down like that.

And the president—well, first of all, he's the president. Okay? Second, he's famously not the guy you put in a headlock. He's just not into it.

And Levin does that. The message, of course, is, "You're my boy. I control you," right?

I was disgusted by it.
