Charlie Kirk Today | Peter Schweizer: May 29, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | May 29, 2026

We got
00:00:08.965 --> 00:00:09.866
News this morning that broke from axios.
00:00:09.866 --> 00:00:12.969
And it's a potentially massive, massive deal.
00:00:12.969 --> 00:00:16.339
And that is the us and iran reach deal
00:00:16.339 --> 00:00:19.909
For a 60 day peace
00:00:20.343 --> 00:00:22.479
Ceasefire but need trump's final approval, officials say.
00:00:22.479 --> 00:00:26.649
So the way this has gone down is that you got to understand
00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:30.286
Dealing with iran is very, very difficult right now.
00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:32.856
They got carrier pigeons going to their supreme leader.
00:00:32.856 --> 00:00:35.859
It's tough to get word back and forth.
00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:37.393
So if you're if you're you know,
00:00:37.393 --> 00:00:38.962
Quibbling over a dot on an eye or a tower, t is crossed.
00:00:38.962 --> 00:00:42.799
It takes roughly about three days
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.135
To get that back and forth. okay.
00:00:45.135 --> 00:00:46.569
So they say that iran, iran is not officially confirmed
00:00:46.569 --> 00:00:50.740
This, but u.s.
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:51.341
Officials are saying
00:00:51.341 --> 00:00:52.242
That iranian senior leadership have said
00:00:52.242 --> 00:00:54.844
That they have approval to sign this deal.
00:00:54.844 --> 00:00:56.679
So what's in the deal?
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.882
The deal says that the strait will be opened.
00:00:58.882 --> 00:01:02.185
Okay.
00:01:02.418 --> 00:01:03.286
The blockade will be lifted.
00:01:03.286 --> 00:01:05.388
Iran will not have
00:01:05.388 --> 00:01:06.589
The shipping lanes in the us will end its blockade.
00:01:06.589 --> 00:01:10.059
So this will happen in proportion
00:01:10.793 --> 00:01:12.695
To the restoration of commercial shipping, a u.s.
00:01:12.695 --> 00:01:14.831
Official said.
00:01:14.831 --> 00:01:15.999
The mou will include an iranian commitment not to pursue
00:01:15.999 --> 00:01:19.836
Nuclear, a nuclear weapon, the official said.
00:01:19.836 --> 00:01:22.138
It will also state that the first issue
00:01:22.138 --> 00:01:24.340
To be negotiated in this 60 day window will be how to dispose
00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:29.712
Of iran's highly enriched uranium
00:01:29.712 --> 00:01:31.481
And how to address iranian enrichment.
00:01:31.481 --> 00:01:33.983
Okay, so let's just set out the stakes here for you.
00:01:33.983 --> 00:01:37.887
So got to get that shipping lane open, right?
00:01:37.887 --> 00:01:40.423
We've got midterms. we got high energy prices.
00:01:40.423 --> 00:01:43.059
There is pressure politically domestically to get
00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:45.862
That gas price under $3 nationally okay.
00:01:45.862 --> 00:01:48.831
This would put us on the road to do that okay.
00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:50.900
Yeah we are exporting.
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.635
We have all this energy in the united states.
00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:55.038
These are all good things.
00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:56.105
China's coming to us.
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:57.207
Lots of others are coming to us.
00:01:57.207 --> 00:01:58.374
Venezuela sending us 10 million barrels of oil.
00:01:58.374 --> 00:02:01.411
All those things are good developments.
00:02:01.411 --> 00:02:03.613
But internationally, you have to understand,
00:02:03.613 --> 00:02:05.882
There's still,
00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:07.050
A pressure on that gas price, on the energy prices,
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:10.954
And that has a political consequence.
00:02:10.954 --> 00:02:12.589
You better believe it that the president
00:02:12.589 --> 00:02:14.190
Is keenly aware of this.
00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:15.191
Yes. he's willing to endure some pain here,
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:18.761
But he's also a pragmatist. okay.
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:20.997
President trump wants a few days to think about this,
00:02:20.997 --> 00:02:24.067
But that blockade would be lifted.
00:02:24.067 --> 00:02:26.169
Iran would agree to allow the strait to be open.
00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:30.206
This would help them economically.
00:02:30.206 --> 00:02:31.674
There's no question.
00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:32.909
Estimates
00:02:32.909 --> 00:02:34.143
Have it at about $500 million a day that iranians are losing
00:02:34.143 --> 00:02:37.180
By not being able to access the strait
00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:39.749
For shipping of energy internationally.
00:02:39.749 --> 00:02:42.151
Also, they have a lot of worry about their wells backing up.
00:02:42.151 --> 00:02:45.622
Once that happens, some of those oil
00:02:45.622 --> 00:02:47.257
Wells cannot be reopened.
00:02:47.257 --> 00:02:48.758
You do permanent damage to those wells,
00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:51.160
And the first item up forbids during the 60 day peace
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:54.631
Fire will be how to deal with and dispose of the dust,
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:59.769
The nuclear dust that's there now
00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:01.437
That is open for interpretation.
00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:03.306
There's a lot of different parties involved,
00:03:03.306 --> 00:03:04.907
A lot of different ideas of how to best do it.
00:03:04.907 --> 00:03:06.743
Some say china, some say russia.
00:03:06.743 --> 00:03:08.678
President trump says that's off the table.
00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:10.546
I think president trump wants a visit.
00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:12.582
Few days to think about this, because he wants the u.s.
00:03:12.582 --> 00:03:14.751
To directly oversee the disposal of said nuclear waste.
00:03:14.751 --> 00:03:19.222
It's a
00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:21.491
It's not a perfect deal.
00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:22.558
It's not fair to say that the whole war is
00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:24.694
The whole thing is not perfect.
00:03:24.694 --> 00:03:25.628
In truth, a lot of this is
00:03:25.628 --> 00:03:28.731
It would be getting us back to the situation before the war,
00:03:28.731 --> 00:03:31.367
Which is straight open except free trade.
00:03:31.367 --> 00:03:33.970
And we're agreeing to negotiate on the nuclear issue,
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:36.739
Which we were negotiating when the strike started.
00:03:36.739 --> 00:03:39.108
So just to be clear, though,
00:03:39.108 --> 00:03:40.877
What is different is that they have apparently,
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:44.480
And this is, part of the background that i have
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:48.051
Been, you know, exposed to on some of these calls.
00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:51.287
The difference right now
00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:52.522
Is that they have finally conceded that
00:03:52.522 --> 00:03:54.390
They will not have a nuclear program
00:03:54.390 --> 00:03:56.092
And that they're willing to dispose of said nuclear.
00:03:56.092 --> 00:03:58.761
Iran has always said
00:03:58.761 --> 00:04:00.129
They're not planning to build a nuclear weapon.
00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:01.731
We don't believe them, of course.
00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.132
So. well,
00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:04.167
There is some interesting insight on that one.
00:04:04.167 --> 00:04:05.768
One school of thought.
00:04:05.768 --> 00:04:07.036
One theory of the case is that the old supreme leader
00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:10.973
Was never going to do it.
00:04:10.973 --> 00:04:12.408
He just wanted to posture. he just wanted to.
00:04:12.408 --> 00:04:14.844
When we got rid of him,
00:04:14.844 --> 00:04:16.679
The new leadership for a while was actually willing to do it.
00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:20.083
So actually things got more risky
00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:21.751
In the immediate aftermath.
00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:22.919
Right now it appears that the moderates are ascendant.
00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:25.822
So let me explain the breakdown here.
00:04:25.822 --> 00:04:28.825
You get rid
00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:29.959
Of the leadership structure and it creates a vacuum.
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.295
You've got moderates, you've got hardliners.
00:04:32.295 --> 00:04:34.630
There has been dust ups in the last couple of days.
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:37.133
There were some last night we shot down some drones.
00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:39.369
We shot down a drone
00:04:39.369 --> 00:04:40.503
Because it just stilled the case where they have
00:04:40.503 --> 00:04:42.939
Straight.
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:44.040
It's decentralized, i know that.
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.508
So here's the here's the deal.
00:04:45.508 --> 00:04:46.676
So when you have a power vacuum
00:04:46.676 --> 00:04:48.311
And when you have the supreme leader
00:04:48.311 --> 00:04:49.645
Who is essentially the leader, but he's new,
00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:52.749
First of all, he's injured and he's in hiding,
00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:55.385
The communication channels are dispersed,
00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:58.821
And there are factions fighting within the emergent
00:04:58.821 --> 00:05:02.225
Iranian leadership structure that want to dominate.
00:05:02.225 --> 00:05:04.994
The hardliners want to dominate.
00:05:04.994 --> 00:05:06.396
They want to sabotage this deal.
00:05:06.396 --> 00:05:07.997
There was a piece that came out,
00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:09.632
I believe,
00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:10.400
In the financial times yesterday
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:11.901
That explained how the hardliners are already
00:05:11.901 --> 00:05:14.570
Trying to sabotage this deal.
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:15.638
Do you want to know
00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:16.739
How we know this is a good deal for the united states,
00:05:16.739 --> 00:05:19.041
Because the hardliners in iran want to sabotage it.
00:05:19.041 --> 00:05:21.544
They understand that this emboldens, empowers,
00:05:21.544 --> 00:05:24.380
Enables the moderates to take the reins of power
00:05:24.380 --> 00:05:27.683
And to put iran on a better course economically,
00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:30.386
Where they're not going to get overthrown
00:05:30.386 --> 00:05:31.454
By their people in about six months.
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:32.722
But maybe that still happens, okay.
00:05:32.722 --> 00:05:34.390
Because there's been
00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:35.491
A ton of damage inflicted upon the iranian people.
00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:38.861
And if they want to do that, if they want to seize their
00:05:38.861 --> 00:05:41.097
Own destiny and their own futures, they should do that.
00:05:41.097 --> 00:05:44.133
They should feel empowered to do that.
00:05:44.133 --> 00:05:45.435
I would be pro
00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:46.569
The iranian people overthrowing this tyrannical regime,
00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:49.105
Their evil should that be the united states job?
00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:52.275
That's an open question.
00:05:52.809 --> 00:05:53.810
I don't believe it should be our job.
00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:55.278
We have a country to run right here at home.
00:05:55.278 --> 00:05:58.147
But president trump was very clear.
00:05:58.147 --> 00:06:00.116
He said, no nuclear weapon.
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:02.018
This deal takes that off the kick off the board. why?
00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:05.321
Because for the first time,
00:06:05.321 --> 00:06:06.923
The moderates
00:06:06.923 --> 00:06:07.990
Have been empowered to take control of the regime.
00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:11.627
They have been empowered and are advancing this notion
00:06:11.627 --> 00:06:14.997
That finally, they are conceding
00:06:14.997 --> 00:06:17.300
That they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.202
This is a good, good development.
00:06:19.202 --> 00:06:21.437
This is a slam dunk development.
00:06:21.437 --> 00:06:23.806
You get the sense, you get the sense
00:06:23.806 --> 00:06:25.374
Of, again, how complicated it is.
00:06:25.374 --> 00:06:27.143
Because have you ever heard
00:06:27.143 --> 00:06:28.511
Of any of these people before any of this happened?
00:06:28.511 --> 00:06:30.279
I've got the financial times piece open.
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.181
Influential members of the ultra conservative
00:06:32.181 --> 00:06:34.250
Pedigree faction who occupy seats in parliament
00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:37.153
And prominent positions at the state broadcasters
00:06:37.153 --> 00:06:40.156
Have insisted iran retain control over the strait
00:06:40.156 --> 00:06:42.692
And refused to make concessions
00:06:42.692 --> 00:06:43.993
Over its nuclear program, describing these as red lines.
00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:47.296
We've heard that word before.
00:06:47.296 --> 00:06:48.731
They have criticized parliamentary speaker
00:06:48.731 --> 00:06:50.833
Mohammad bagger,
00:06:50.833 --> 00:06:51.901
Galbraith,
00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:52.969
A longtime political rival
00:06:52.969 --> 00:06:54.237
Who has been leading the negotiations,
00:06:54.237 --> 00:06:56.138
Claiming he has acted beyond the mandate given by
00:06:56.138 --> 00:06:59.542
Unseen new supreme leader ayatollah khamenei.
00:06:59.542 --> 00:07:03.212
So you really sense how incredibly complicated
00:07:03.212 --> 00:07:06.182
It is where each different factions in one country
00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:09.719
That we're in conflict with are claiming
00:07:09.719 --> 00:07:11.821
They have the true mandate of a leader no one can see,
00:07:11.821 --> 00:07:14.891
No one's heard from.
00:07:14.891 --> 00:07:15.791
And again, very dramatic
00:07:15.791 --> 00:07:17.093
To underscore this point, to underscore this point,
00:07:17.093 --> 00:07:20.796
There, have this guy in hiding, like,
00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:24.400
Incredibly hidden within this country
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:27.069
To the point that they will not establish
00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:29.705
A digital connection in any way, shape
00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:31.674
Or form around this guy.
00:07:31.674 --> 00:07:32.909
So when i say
00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:34.110
Carrier pigeon, i'm joking, but i'm kind of not joking.
00:07:34.110 --> 00:07:36.245
That's what it takes to communicate with this guy.
00:07:36.245 --> 00:07:38.814
And, you know, we have to assume, since he hasn't been,
00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:41.951
Taken out, that he's probably hidden successfully.
00:07:41.951 --> 00:07:45.421
Right.
00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:46.522
So when you have a situation like that
00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:49.191
Where you can't get on a broadcast and dictate the terms
00:07:49.191 --> 00:07:52.061
Or send out,
00:07:52.061 --> 00:07:53.129
Messaging in some other way to his lieutenants,
00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:55.765
Then there's going to be this vacuum, this void created.
00:07:55.765 --> 00:07:58.501
What the u.s.
00:07:58.501 --> 00:07:59.669
Is challenged right now is to say our redline is nuclear.
00:07:59.669 --> 00:08:02.071
Our redline is the straight.
00:08:02.071 --> 00:08:03.706
Okay.
00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:04.507
If you concede on those two points,
00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:06.142
We will let you open up and give you some financial.
00:08:06.142 --> 00:08:09.045
It is very energy
00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:10.346
And from sanctions it is very helpful
00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:11.881
When you have the iranians themselves saying anything
00:08:11.881 --> 00:08:14.116
Short of exclusive iranian control of the strait
00:08:14.116 --> 00:08:16.986
Is iran is a total loser and the us a total winner.
00:08:16.986 --> 00:08:20.389
So that's helpful for us.
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:24.009
So that's helpful for us.
00:08:24.009 --> 00:08:30.233
We've got
00:08:30.534 --> 00:08:31.501
Hardliners on our side as well here at home.
00:08:31.501 --> 00:08:34.504
So and blake i know you're very cognizant of this.
00:08:34.504 --> 00:08:37.774
We both our watching there's certain people
00:08:37.774 --> 00:08:40.644
I'm not going to name all of them.
00:08:40.644 --> 00:08:42.813
But some of them are my friends and some of them are not
00:08:42.813 --> 00:08:45.515
My friends.
00:08:45.515 --> 00:08:46.550
But let's just use lindsey graham as a stand in
00:08:46.550 --> 00:08:48.752
For all of them. lady graham, lady graham.
00:08:48.752 --> 00:08:51.154
So these people will not be happy until we just
00:08:51.154 --> 00:08:55.459
All we do is drop bombs all over foreign countries and,
00:08:55.459 --> 00:08:58.395
You know, you know, perpetually send american troops.
00:08:58.395 --> 00:09:02.599
They saw they saw this escalation as their big chance
00:09:02.599 --> 00:09:05.869
To divert president trump into a full regime change, war,
00:09:05.869 --> 00:09:10.474
Whatever they told him, oh, they'll cave,
00:09:10.474 --> 00:09:13.210
They'll get rid of their nuclear program and know they
00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:15.445
They believe this would be their chance
00:09:15.445 --> 00:09:17.114
To get their hook in and get president trump
00:09:17.114 --> 00:09:19.249
To just do a full iraq overthrow the government.
00:09:19.249 --> 00:09:21.952
And they'll they still do this.
00:09:21.952 --> 00:09:23.020
They say, oh, 10,000 troops.
00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:24.621
It's going to be super easy in and out, in and out.
00:09:24.621 --> 00:09:26.590
President trump, let's just be very clear about something.
00:09:26.590 --> 00:09:28.925
For those of you in the audience that maybe do feel
00:09:28.925 --> 00:09:31.962
A bit that way, where you want to see the regime topple,
00:09:31.962 --> 00:09:34.931
I'm the same.
00:09:35.298 --> 00:09:36.333
I want to see the regime topple, but
00:09:36.333 --> 00:09:40.003
I'm not willing
00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:42.072
To send american boots on the ground to get that done.
00:09:42.072 --> 00:09:45.308
And that's essentially
00:09:45.308 --> 00:09:46.309
The only thing that will get this done.
00:09:46.309 --> 00:09:48.211
You could arm the citizenry of iran, but potentially
00:09:48.211 --> 00:09:51.748
That would be effective.
00:09:51.748 --> 00:09:53.016
And maybe they should pursue that.
00:09:53.016 --> 00:09:54.117
That usually ends terribly as well.
00:09:54.117 --> 00:09:56.019
Let's just be honest.
00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:56.987
We don't have a great track record there.
00:09:56.987 --> 00:09:58.755
But unless you are willing to commit 100,000 boots
00:09:58.755 --> 00:10:02.025
On the ground to go commandeer and wrench control
00:10:02.025 --> 00:10:05.662
Of that country from the regime,
00:10:05.662 --> 00:10:07.631
Then this is not going to happen.
00:10:07.631 --> 00:10:09.232
And i will tell you right now, if president trump did that,
00:10:09.232 --> 00:10:11.835
It would be politically disastrous.
00:10:11.835 --> 00:10:13.737
Every toss-up race we would lose
00:10:13.737 --> 00:10:16.707
Every single one of them.
00:10:16.707 --> 00:10:18.041
Come the midterms.
00:10:18.041 --> 00:10:19.142
He would be impeached
00:10:19.142 --> 00:10:20.410
The entire last
00:10:20.410 --> 00:10:21.445
Two years of his presidency would be completely
00:10:21.445 --> 00:10:24.181
And utterly distracted, and every, wrench
00:10:24.181 --> 00:10:28.318
Would be thrown into every gear you can imagine.
00:10:28.318 --> 00:10:30.020
Okay, so that's just like,
00:10:30.020 --> 00:10:30.987
Let's just be very clear about the stakes here.
00:10:30.987 --> 00:10:32.889
And so in lieu of getting full regime change
00:10:32.889 --> 00:10:35.859
And getting everything that you want,
00:10:35.859 --> 00:10:37.527
Getting them to give up their nuclear,
00:10:37.527 --> 00:10:39.596
Getting them to commit to disposing of the dust,
00:10:39.596 --> 00:10:43.433
Getting them to, allow american, officials, forces,
00:10:43.433 --> 00:10:48.171
Oversee the disposal of said nuclear material
00:10:48.171 --> 00:10:51.575
And getting them to open the straits up
00:10:51.575 --> 00:10:53.810
And destroying their entire missile arsenal,
00:10:53.810 --> 00:10:56.246
Sinking their navy to the bottom of the sea.
00:10:56.246 --> 00:10:58.682
This is this is the deal that is possible.
00:10:58.682 --> 00:11:02.452
So let's deal in the realm of real.
00:11:02.452 --> 00:11:04.521
It's just a simple fact.
00:11:04.521 --> 00:11:05.622
Would it be good for iran
00:11:05.622 --> 00:11:06.957
To have a different type of government?
00:11:06.957 --> 00:11:08.258
Yes. but is that what president trump ran on in 2024?
00:11:08.258 --> 00:11:12.028
No. is it what the people who voted for him want?
00:11:12.028 --> 00:11:15.499
It doesn't seem so.
00:11:15.499 --> 00:11:16.700
No. and is it overall, is it good for america to a country
00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:20.971
That has fewer resources than it did 20 years ago
00:11:20.971 --> 00:11:24.775
For this sort of thing?
00:11:24.775 --> 00:11:25.876
Is this a good way
00:11:25.876 --> 00:11:26.977
For us to be investing america's focus and assets?
00:11:26.977 --> 00:11:30.514
I don't believe it is. you don't believe it is.
00:11:30.514 --> 00:11:32.182
I don't think most people believe it is.
00:11:32.182 --> 00:11:33.550
What we want is we want to revive middle class.
00:11:33.550 --> 00:11:36.253
We want a revived industrial base.
00:11:36.253 --> 00:11:38.288
We want strength abroad, family
00:11:38.288 --> 00:11:41.057
Formation, affordability, homeownership.
00:11:41.057 --> 00:11:43.794
These are the things that people voted for.
00:11:43.794 --> 00:11:45.996
President trump,
00:11:45.996 --> 00:11:46.797
Do you want to know ultimately why
00:11:46.797 --> 00:11:47.731
People voted for president trump?
00:11:47.731 --> 00:11:49.432
It was yes, it was immigration.
00:11:49.432 --> 00:11:51.001
Certainly, that motivated me.
00:11:51.001 --> 00:11:53.069
But really
00:11:53.370 --> 00:11:54.204
It was that they felt the economy
00:11:54.204 --> 00:11:55.672
Was better under trump than it was under biden.
00:11:55.672 --> 00:11:57.541
That's it.
00:11:57.541 --> 00:11:58.775
I hate to be that guy. the economy stupid.
00:11:58.775 --> 00:12:00.610
What is kind of that? okay.
00:12:00.610 --> 00:12:02.479
And right now this is a drag on fulfilling that promise.
00:12:02.479 --> 00:12:06.783
They looked at president trump and you you could look
00:12:06.783 --> 00:12:09.286
At a thousand different videos online.
00:12:09.286 --> 00:12:11.388
Probably half of them are from charlie
00:12:11.388 --> 00:12:13.190
The piece president the no new wars president.
00:12:13.190 --> 00:12:16.026
That's what they want.
00:12:16.493 --> 00:12:17.594
They want domestic focus.
00:12:17.594 --> 00:12:19.462
Ultimately it was just they thought,
00:12:19.462 --> 00:12:21.331
Oh, it seems like
00:12:21.331 --> 00:12:22.432
Things were better under trump because biden took over
00:12:22.432 --> 00:12:24.901
And you could just see the decay everywhere
00:12:24.901 --> 00:12:26.436
Because he let crime go haywire.
00:12:26.436 --> 00:12:27.737
He let the border go haywire, he let prices go haywire.
00:12:27.737 --> 00:12:30.207
And that was a big post-covid effect.
00:12:30.207 --> 00:12:32.108
And we're seeing a similar drag here where the long term
00:12:32.108 --> 00:12:35.412
Effect of that strait of hormuz, it's
00:12:35.412 --> 00:12:36.646
Not just on gas prices,
00:12:36.646 --> 00:12:38.048
It's that a bunch of factories in vietnam and thailand
00:12:38.048 --> 00:12:41.585
And india and china, those all slow down their operation.
00:12:41.585 --> 00:12:45.322
So you get those shortages that we had during covid,
00:12:45.322 --> 00:12:47.490
And then that drives inflation in prices of other things.
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:50.594
It's a whole slow motion effect, knock on effect.
00:12:50.594 --> 00:12:53.029
And you don't undo that until you restore
00:12:53.029 --> 00:12:56.633
That middle east choke point back to what it was.
00:12:56.633 --> 00:12:59.002
But lest you be concerned
00:12:59.002 --> 00:13:00.470
That trump is going to sign some bad deal, he's not.
00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:02.672
This is a step by step process that's being negotiated here.
00:13:02.672 --> 00:13:06.009
Okay, you make good on the first promise.
00:13:06.009 --> 00:13:08.345
Then we give a little bit.
00:13:08.345 --> 00:13:09.613
You make good on another promise.
00:13:09.613 --> 00:13:11.081
We give a little bit.
00:13:11.081 --> 00:13:12.682
But if you don't president trump is still holds
00:13:12.682 --> 00:13:15.118
The the the trump card of that.
00:13:15.118 --> 00:13:18.255
We're going to keep our our military assets
00:13:18.255 --> 00:13:20.757
Deployed out there until we have exactly what we need
00:13:20.757 --> 00:13:23.860
And what we want. that 27
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:26.062
Well, i think we're doing very well,
00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:28.465
I think are starting to give us the things
00:13:28.465 --> 00:13:31.201
That they have to give us.
00:13:31.201 --> 00:13:32.202
And if they do, that's great.
00:13:32.202 --> 00:13:33.536
And if they won't, then the man on my left
00:13:33.536 --> 00:13:35.505
Is going to finish him off.
00:13:35.505 --> 00:13:36.806
And the man on his left is secretary of war pete hexa.
00:13:36.806 --> 00:13:39.676
All right.
00:13:39.676 --> 00:13:40.477
So he's not changing his posture.
00:13:40.477 --> 00:13:41.444
He's saying, listen carrot and stick.
00:13:41.444 --> 00:13:43.813
Here's the carrot.
00:13:43.813 --> 00:13:44.614
If you do what we want
00:13:44.614 --> 00:13:46.116
And here's the stick if you don't do what we want.
00:13:46.116 --> 00:13:48.318
All right.
00:13:48.318 --> 00:13:49.286
So we still hold the leverage in that sense.
00:13:49.286 --> 00:13:51.588
All right.
00:13:51.588 --> 00:13:52.289
So he's also being very clear
00:13:52.289 --> 00:13:53.423
That the street is going to be open.
00:13:53.423 --> 00:13:54.824
It's gonna be accessible to everybody. sat 21.
00:13:54.824 --> 00:13:57.160
The street is going to be open to everybody.
00:13:57.160 --> 00:13:59.062
It's and who will control it's international waters.
00:13:59.062 --> 00:14:02.299
Nobody's going to control it. we're going to watch over it.
00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:04.534
We'll watch over it.
00:14:04.534 --> 00:14:05.435
But nobody's going to control it.
00:14:05.435 --> 00:14:06.770
This part of the negotiation
00:14:06.770 --> 00:14:08.805
That we have, they would like to control it.
00:14:08.805 --> 00:14:10.407
Nobody's going to control it's international waters.
00:14:10.407 --> 00:14:12.776
And, oman will behave just like everybody else.
00:14:12.776 --> 00:14:15.812
So we'll have to blow them up.
00:14:15.812 --> 00:14:17.914
They understand that they'll be fine.
00:14:17.914 --> 00:14:20.317
I hope the stakes are very clear for you,
00:14:20.317 --> 00:14:22.686
Because it's very clear to me
00:14:22.686 --> 00:14:24.387
That you are not going to get the full regime change
00:14:24.387 --> 00:14:26.623
Unless you commit boots on the ground.
00:14:26.623 --> 00:14:28.124
And that is happening.
00:14:28.124 --> 00:14:29.492
What you can get is you can you can exert leverage
00:14:29.492 --> 00:14:32.662
With the blockade, which we've been doing,
00:14:32.662 --> 00:14:34.631
And leverage
00:14:34.631 --> 00:14:35.699
With our aerial offensive, which we've been doing.
00:14:35.699 --> 00:14:38.134
And you can get them to give up the nuclear
00:14:38.134 --> 00:14:40.003
And you can get them to open the strait.
00:14:40.003 --> 00:14:41.404
If you can do those things,
00:14:41.404 --> 00:14:43.039
You take that deal every day of the week.
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.075
You get out, you declare victory.
00:14:45.075 --> 00:14:46.977
You just avoided nuclear fallout in the middle east
00:14:46.977 --> 00:14:50.447
And europe and elsewhere.
00:14:50.447 --> 00:14:51.548
Okay, it's a good deal.
00:14:51.548 --> 00:14:54.017
Trust the president in this.
00:14:54.617 --> 00:14:56.219
He's not going to take a bad deal,
00:14:56.219 --> 00:14:57.787
But this is the right deal to take, and we should get out.
00:14:57.787 --> 00:15:03.001
But this is the right deal to take, and we should get out.
00:15:03.001 --> 00:15:08.065
I'm very excited about our next guest.
00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:10.534
That is peter schweitzer, his longtime friend and guest.
00:15:10.534 --> 00:15:13.971
The show.
00:15:13.971 --> 00:15:14.638
And he's the
00:15:14.638 --> 00:15:15.806
Author of an incredible book called the invisible coup.
00:15:15.806 --> 00:15:19.143
And he's making headlines, because he's ruffling
00:15:19.143 --> 00:15:21.812
All the right feathers.
00:15:21.812 --> 00:15:23.014
Peter, welcome back to the show.
00:15:23.014 --> 00:15:24.482
It's good to have you.
00:15:24.482 --> 00:15:26.050
Good to be back with you.
00:15:26.050 --> 00:15:27.018
Thanks for having me.
00:15:27.018 --> 00:15:28.352
Well, so you have really, gotten under the skin of some,
00:15:28.352 --> 00:15:32.289
Of our of our friends down south, the
00:15:32.289 --> 00:15:34.525
Our mexican neighbors cloud
00:15:34.525 --> 00:15:35.693
Is shine bombs really upset about you.
00:15:35.693 --> 00:15:37.194
So you have you've been basically saying
00:15:37.194 --> 00:15:40.231
That these mexican consulates in the united states,
00:15:40.231 --> 00:15:43.834
There's 53 of them, by the way. 58.
00:15:43.834 --> 00:15:47.505
Why do we need 53 mexican consulates
00:15:47.505 --> 00:15:50.007
In the united states?
00:15:50.007 --> 00:15:50.708
It's probably because we have
00:15:50.708 --> 00:15:51.675
Too much illegal immigration, but i digress.
00:15:51.675 --> 00:15:54.278
There's 53 of them here, and you have alleged that
00:15:54.278 --> 00:15:56.714
They've been up to some, some no good things,
00:15:56.714 --> 00:15:59.683
Some things that are against
00:15:59.683 --> 00:16:00.918
Our interests as americans, which doesn't shock me.
00:16:00.918 --> 00:16:03.921
Now, mexico is denying this. of course.
00:16:03.921 --> 00:16:06.057
They're calling you a big, fat liar.
00:16:06.057 --> 00:16:07.324
Peter, tell us what,
00:16:07.324 --> 00:16:09.393
The allegations are that you've put forth
00:16:09.393 --> 00:16:11.629
And some of the evidence you have for that.
00:16:11.629 --> 00:16:13.898
Yeah.
00:16:14.131 --> 00:16:14.799
I mean, you're quite right.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.933
There's 53 mexican consulates in the united states.
00:16:15.933 --> 00:16:18.202
Just to put that in perspective,
00:16:18.202 --> 00:16:19.804
There are four alone in the state of arizona.
00:16:19.804 --> 00:16:22.706
Great britain has six in the united states.
00:16:22.706 --> 00:16:25.576
China has seven.
00:16:25.576 --> 00:16:26.710
So this is a massive number.
00:16:26.710 --> 00:16:28.846
And what i lay out in the book, is really quoting
00:16:28.846 --> 00:16:32.583
Mexican officials in describing what they're doing.
00:16:32.583 --> 00:16:35.519
And those consulates are meddling in american politics.
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.456
They are organizing anti-trump protest rallies.
00:16:38.456 --> 00:16:42.226
They are organizing anti ice rallies.
00:16:42.226 --> 00:16:45.496
I highlight in may of 2024, a presidential election year,
00:16:45.496 --> 00:16:49.967
Of course,
00:16:49.967 --> 00:16:50.768
There was a meeting
00:16:50.768 --> 00:16:51.802
At the oklahoma city consulate that mexico has,
00:16:51.802 --> 00:16:55.106
There were officials that flew in from mexico city,
00:16:55.106 --> 00:16:58.442
Consular officials from los angeles to orlando
00:16:58.442 --> 00:17:01.712
And the consulate in between all gathered there.
00:17:01.712 --> 00:17:04.115
And what did they do?
00:17:04.115 --> 00:17:05.216
They met with democratic party political organizers,
00:17:05.216 --> 00:17:08.752
And the conversation was about how they could turn
00:17:08.752 --> 00:17:12.456
States from red to blue.
00:17:12.456 --> 00:17:14.158
And they bragged about how they had
00:17:14.158 --> 00:17:15.559
Turned california from red to blue, arizona from red to blue.
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.563
And they wanted to do more of that.
00:17:19.563 --> 00:17:21.499
All of this, by the way, comes from a transcript of
00:17:21.499 --> 00:17:24.702
That meeting that we obtained from the mexican media.
00:17:24.702 --> 00:17:27.771
So this is not me
00:17:27.771 --> 00:17:28.739
Alleging this, this is what they are doing.
00:17:28.739 --> 00:17:32.510
And the bottom line is,
00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:34.411
I don't think anybody would defend the fact
00:17:34.411 --> 00:17:37.281
That foreign diplomats are meddling in american politics.
00:17:37.281 --> 00:17:40.951
You also have a mexican official
00:17:40.951 --> 00:17:42.520
That lives in the united states,
00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:43.921
And i'm alejandro robledo.
00:17:43.921 --> 00:17:45.422
He serves in the mexican parliament.
00:17:45.422 --> 00:17:48.025
He bragged that in 2025, he was crossing
00:17:48.025 --> 00:17:51.262
The united states, organizing the militancy
00:17:51.262 --> 00:17:54.465
Against donald trump, in his words.
00:17:54.465 --> 00:17:57.034
So, again, why we're allowing foreign government
00:17:57.034 --> 00:17:59.637
Officials to do this?
00:17:59.637 --> 00:18:01.338
Is is beyond me.
00:18:01.338 --> 00:18:02.973
Mexico wants that money, too.
00:18:02.973 --> 00:18:04.508
And guess how they get it?
00:18:04.508 --> 00:18:05.676
They get it
00:18:05.676 --> 00:18:06.644
By sending their people to go get work here
00:18:06.644 --> 00:18:08.946
And then going to western union or, or moneygram
00:18:08.946 --> 00:18:12.049
Or one of these remittance companies
00:18:12.049 --> 00:18:13.751
That sends it back to their home country.
00:18:13.751 --> 00:18:16.053
And that's a really big deal, a really big part
00:18:16.053 --> 00:18:18.756
Of the mexican economy.
00:18:18.756 --> 00:18:20.291
And they're very aware of that. so what do they do?
00:18:20.291 --> 00:18:22.426
They send out pamphlets.
00:18:22.426 --> 00:18:23.527
They have a guia del migrante mexicano.
00:18:23.527 --> 00:18:26.397
So they give this to people that are attempting to cross.
00:18:26.397 --> 00:18:29.099
Obviously the border is way more secure now.
00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:31.068
But it wasn't
00:18:31.068 --> 00:18:31.936
Just a little while ago and there was
00:18:31.936 --> 00:18:33.604
Millions of them coming over and they're incentivized.
00:18:33.604 --> 00:18:36.740
So the whole thing and and your point is so well-made.
00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:40.144
53 there's no excuse for having 53
00:18:40.144 --> 00:18:43.080
Mexican consulates in the united states.
00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:44.815
This is a foreign invasion of another of another kind,
00:18:44.815 --> 00:18:48.018
And they're incentivized to turn red states blue
00:18:48.018 --> 00:18:51.021
Because that will give more immigrants,
00:18:51.021 --> 00:18:53.824
Opportunity to cross,
00:18:53.824 --> 00:18:55.125
Because they know the democrats are pro open borders.
00:18:55.125 --> 00:18:57.761
So they're going to bring them in
00:18:57.761 --> 00:18:58.996
And you get blue states, you get less,
00:18:58.996 --> 00:19:01.098
Pushback against this. you get more remittances.
00:19:01.098 --> 00:19:04.435
Yeah.
00:19:04.668 --> 00:19:05.302
No, you're exactly right.
00:19:05.302 --> 00:19:06.403
It's it's a cycle that mexico's elite benefits from.
00:19:06.403 --> 00:19:10.674
And it's not just a question of, you know, the money
00:19:10.674 --> 00:19:14.812
Or we're going to meddle in politics.
00:19:14.812 --> 00:19:16.580
Mexico actually has ambitions in the united states.
00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:20.751
There's this concept, reconquista.
00:19:20.751 --> 00:19:23.187
I always thought
00:19:23.187 --> 00:19:24.321
It was like a kind of a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
00:19:24.321 --> 00:19:26.790
Except for the fact that mexico's leaders
00:19:26.790 --> 00:19:28.826
Talk about it all the time.
00:19:28.826 --> 00:19:30.294
And what they mean is re exerting sovereignty over
00:19:30.294 --> 00:19:34.131
Parts of america
00:19:34.131 --> 00:19:35.232
That they
00:19:35.232 --> 00:19:36.467
Lost in the 19th century as a result of the us-mexican war,
00:19:36.467 --> 00:19:39.470
When they sold territories to us.
00:19:39.470 --> 00:19:41.839
They actually talk about this openly.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.607
And these aren't kooks.
00:19:43.607 --> 00:19:44.675
These are the most powerful senators in mexico.
00:19:44.675 --> 00:19:47.144
These are top aides to,
00:19:47.144 --> 00:19:48.512
President sheinbaum, this is former president amlo
00:19:48.512 --> 00:19:52.116
And they talk about exerting mexico's sovereignty
00:19:52.116 --> 00:19:54.952
Into the united states. so how do they do that?
00:19:54.952 --> 00:19:57.354
Well, one of the things they've done
00:19:57.354 --> 00:19:58.822
Is they have elected mexican officials, senators
00:19:58.822 --> 00:20:03.560
And members of parliament
00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:05.029
Who live full time in the united states,
00:20:05.029 --> 00:20:07.464
And their job
00:20:07.464 --> 00:20:08.599
Is to represent mexicans living in the united states.
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.035
Before the mexican government.
00:20:11.035 --> 00:20:13.237
That is a massive erosion of our sovereignty.
00:20:13.237 --> 00:20:15.839
Imagine if we did that to canada.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.541
Imagine if we said we're going to have
00:20:17.541 --> 00:20:18.976
A congressman
00:20:18.976 --> 00:20:20.077
Representing americans living and living in alberta.
00:20:20.077 --> 00:20:22.813
The canadians would never go
00:20:22.813 --> 00:20:24.114
For that and for rightful reason.
00:20:24.114 --> 00:20:25.816
But that's precisely what mexico's doing.
00:20:25.816 --> 00:20:28.218
So this is an effort to immigrate
00:20:28.218 --> 00:20:31.155
To use immigration as a weapon to weaponize immigration.
00:20:31.155 --> 00:20:35.359
And i think we need to recognize that, yes, it creates
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.729
Unsafe streets, mass immigration suppresses wages.
00:20:38.729 --> 00:20:42.833
All the issues that we've talked about for years.
00:20:42.833 --> 00:20:45.469
But there's also a weaponization
00:20:45.469 --> 00:20:47.271
That is designed to undermine the united states.
00:20:47.271 --> 00:20:49.740
And they are open about it
00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:51.408
In their discussions among themselves.
00:20:51.408 --> 00:20:53.410
And i quote them extensively in the book.
00:20:53.410 --> 00:20:55.479
So when shame bomb attacks me, you notice
00:20:55.479 --> 00:20:57.981
She doesn't deal with in the any of the evidence.
00:20:57.981 --> 00:21:00.084
She doesn't, deal with the fact that i quote
00:21:00.084 --> 00:21:02.953
One of her top aides in a december 2024 report saying,
00:21:02.953 --> 00:21:07.157
Well, through mass
00:21:07.157 --> 00:21:08.325
Migration, we are retaking portions of the united states.
00:21:08.325 --> 00:21:11.595
She doesn't deal with that.
00:21:11.595 --> 00:21:13.030
She simply says
00:21:13.030 --> 00:21:14.164
This is a conspiracy theory and wants it to go away.
00:21:14.164 --> 00:21:16.767
It's gets at the power of media
00:21:17.401 --> 00:21:19.770
Narratives to guide things because we hear endlessly.
00:21:19.770 --> 00:21:22.673
I mean, we hear a lot about china, justifiably.
00:21:22.673 --> 00:21:24.375
We hear endlessly about
00:21:24.375 --> 00:21:25.609
Israel allegedly controlling the united states
00:21:25.609 --> 00:21:28.011
Or influencing us in the united states.
00:21:28.011 --> 00:21:29.546
And then it's just right in front of us
00:21:29.546 --> 00:21:31.215
That a country next door to us that has by far
00:21:31.215 --> 00:21:33.917
The most immigration into the united states
00:21:33.917 --> 00:21:36.086
Will openly talk about this, openly gloat about the effect
00:21:36.086 --> 00:21:38.989
It has,
00:21:38.989 --> 00:21:39.923
The effect is so clearly negative overall
00:21:39.923 --> 00:21:42.192
On the united states.
00:21:42.192 --> 00:21:43.460
It's a country that has a long history of bad blood with us.
00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:46.296
And at the same time, it's
00:21:46.864 --> 00:21:47.831
It's like the major media and even, frankly,
00:21:47.831 --> 00:21:50.534
A lot of the right wing media, they just almost conspire to
00:21:50.534 --> 00:21:54.204
Just have it not be talked about.
00:21:54.204 --> 00:21:55.939
And it's almost
00:21:55.939 --> 00:21:57.141
I think that's a bigger picture thing because you think of
00:21:57.141 --> 00:21:59.576
Does anyone really know mexico's history in the us?
00:21:59.576 --> 00:22:01.678
Very few people do,
00:22:01.678 --> 00:22:03.080
Despite the fact that it's right
00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:04.047
Next door to us, and people vacation there
00:22:04.047 --> 00:22:05.716
And so many of them move here.
00:22:05.716 --> 00:22:06.950
People don't know a lot about mexico.
00:22:06.950 --> 00:22:08.452
They don't talk a lot about mexico.
00:22:08.452 --> 00:22:10.020
They don't
00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:11.221
Think about the effect mexico has on the united states.
00:22:11.221 --> 00:22:13.257
You hear more about canada?
00:22:13.257 --> 00:22:14.691
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:14.691 --> 00:22:16.026
Now, i think that i think that's
00:22:16.026 --> 00:22:17.294
A really important point.
00:22:17.294 --> 00:22:18.362
And also, frankly, the people that don't take,
00:22:18.362 --> 00:22:22.032
Mexico's ambitions seriously are kind of stereotyping them.
00:22:22.032 --> 00:22:25.969
I mean, they'll say like, come on, it's mexico.
00:22:25.969 --> 00:22:28.005
They're corrupt. they're kind of hapless.
00:22:28.005 --> 00:22:30.474
No, i mean, i think that does not give,
00:22:30.474 --> 00:22:33.677
The mexican political elite not a lot of credit.
00:22:33.677 --> 00:22:36.513
And i will give credit to the trump administration.
00:22:36.513 --> 00:22:39.416
When the book came out, i actually met
00:22:39.416 --> 00:22:41.118
In the oval office with the president,
00:22:41.118 --> 00:22:43.220
With, the treasury secretary besson,
00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:45.522
And with secretary of state marco rubio,
00:22:45.522 --> 00:22:48.258
Laid out what mexico was doing, what china was doing.
00:22:48.258 --> 00:22:51.695
They've taken a lot of action
00:22:51.695 --> 00:22:53.197
On the issue of birtherism that i raised with them.
00:22:53.197 --> 00:22:56.033
But they also announced several weeks ago
00:22:56.033 --> 00:22:58.135
That they are reviewing
00:22:58.135 --> 00:22:59.269
The political activities of the 53 consulates
00:22:59.269 --> 00:23:02.172
That mexico has in the united states.
00:23:02.172 --> 00:23:04.007
So, again, in keeping with form, the trump
00:23:04.007 --> 00:23:06.777
Administration, is not concerned
00:23:06.777 --> 00:23:09.079
About taking bold action, when they think it's necessary.
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.349
And i don't think any other modern president,
00:23:12.349 --> 00:23:14.785
Would have undertaken, this review,
00:23:14.785 --> 00:23:17.488
With regards to mexico.
00:23:17.488 --> 00:23:18.922
So i think it's very encouraging.
00:23:18.922 --> 00:23:20.424
Invisible coup.
00:23:20.424 --> 00:23:21.291
Get your copy today, peter schweitzer.
00:23:21.291 --> 00:23:23.060

00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:23.060
