💬 🇺🇸 Hegseth:

The U.S. military moved seamlessly from major combat operations to a world-class blockade.

We can make that transition again very quickly and even more powerfully than ever.

At the direction of President Trump, the war department will ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon—never.

We’d prefer to do it the nice way, through a deal led by our great vice president and negotiating team, or we can do it the hard way.

💬 🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson:

Trump is mocking Jesus. He's making fun of Christianity.

The central figure of the religion is being held up for mockery.

💬 🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson on Trump:

Here’s a leader who’s mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exalting himself above them.

Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows?

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Iran wants to make a deal... they are willing to do things today they weren't willing to do 2 months ago.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The Lebanon ceasefire will include Hezbollah, I think Hezbollah will stick to the ceasefire.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

There is no 20 year limit—they will not have nuclear weapons.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

If there is no deal, the fighting will resume.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: How much longer will Americans continue to see these high gas prices?

Trump: Well, they are not very high.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Iran has agreed to not have a nuclear weapon; they have agreed to it very powerfully.

They have agreed to give us back the nuclear dust.

We have a lot of agreement with Iran, and I think something is going to happen very positive.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Why are you fighting with the pope?

Trump: I have to do what's right. I have nothing against the pope.

Reporter: Why are you fighting with him?

Trump: I’m not fighting with him. The pope made a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon.

Reporter: He didn’t say that.

Trump: I can disagree with the pope.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I am all about the gospel, I am about is as much as anybody can be.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I will certainly visit Lebanon at the right time.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: The First Lady came out last week and said she had no links with Epstein.

Trump: Who?

Reporter: The First Lady.

Trump: She had none.

Reporter: Why did she say that?

Trump: Because the fake news said she did. She had none. I think that’s been proven. It bothered her that the fake news was being fake news.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

We have a very good relationship with Iran right now.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Are you going to make the Arab countries pay?

Trump: I think they are going to make that contribution.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I would go to Pakistan, yeah. Pakistan has been great, they've been so good.

Islamabad—I’ll be—I might go, yeah, I might go. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Israel and Lebanon tried to make peace before, what is the difference this time?

Trump: The difference is me—big difference.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I am not happy with Australia because they were not there for us at the Hormuz Strait.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

When we asked NATO allies to get involved in a very minor skirmish by comparison to what it could be, they weren't there, so I don't think they would be there for a large skirmish.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Europeans should be buying more oil and gas from us.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is very routine for us.
