China’s top diplomat called for greater international support for the next phase of Iran-US peace talks, cautioning that the looming interim peace agreement between the two countries marks only the beginning of a longer peace process.
Republicans have a long list of questions about the Iran deal, and they are so far noncommittal about whether it’s even something they can support. That’s not stopping many of them from defending President Donald Trump, though, as Democrats claim the agreement is no better than the one he threw away in 2017, when he […]
President Donald Trump hasn't yet released what he has agreed to on the Iran deal, but there are those in his administration who aren't happy with it and think it's a mistake. According to the Mirror, Trump is pondering firing them. Those include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. "The debate has been settled. Anyone who opposed it could pay a personal price," a source told The Mirror.One person who appears to be safe is Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who serves in multiple roles for the president. It's unclear whether Trump would be willing to fire Vice President JD Vance, who has opposed to the Iran war from the start. In April, The New York Times reported that Vance was the most skeptical voice on the strikes. But The Mirror reported that Vance is supportive of the deal. Oddly, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who have been on the team working on the deal, are also said to support it, the Mirror reported. Since the deal hasn't been revealed, it's unclear if it prevents Israel from defending itself against Hamas in Lebanon. In the past both Kushner and Witkoff have been ardent supporters of Israel's ability to defend itself. The Jerusalem Post reported on Tuesday that Witkoff and Kushner are being seen as "sell-outs" as a result of their support for the deal. Right-wing pundit and close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yinon Magal, host of Channel 14 's The Patriots, blasted Kushner and Witkoff using a slur, saying that Trump's deal makes him look like a “loser.” Magal accused the two men of acting under pressure from Qatar and “selling their brothers in Israel.”"Rubio, Hegseth, and other officials from both the Department of Defense and State have presented an assessment that the current Iranian regime was already in decline due to economic pressure and that turning up the heat on the country would eventually end in a surrender or, alternatively, its collapse," The Mirror claimed. South Carolina Republican, Lindsey Graham, fears that the U.S. and Iran might have "different" views of what the deal is or should be. He wrote on X that he was "pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to.""I will be watching closely the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program and other matters," Graham wrote. "I am somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming."That said, Graham doesn't appear to want Trump to decide whether the deal is final. "Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote," Graham claimed. "I look forward to reviewing the final product, and I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal, Vice President Vance, and his negotiating partners be part of the process in presenting the final deal to Congress."
The signing of the interim peace deal between the US and Iran will take place on Friday near Lucerne in Switzerland, according to the country’s foreign ministry.
Senate Republicans said they’re pressing the Trump administration for details on the US-Iran interim peace deal and signaled Congress will ultimately vote on the final agreement.
Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated alien movie “Disclosure Day” hit theaters last Friday. In the weeks leading up to its premiere, a circulating theory — fueled by the government’s ongoing UFO file declassifications — suggested Spielberg collaborated with the government to prepare the public for real alien disclosure.Glenn Beck saw it on opening night, and he says it’s definitely “worth seeing.”But could it actually be predictive programming?On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn shares his raw thoughts on what “Disclosure Day” really means. Glenn isn’t ready to dismiss the theory that “Disclosure Day” is predictive programming — entertainment designed to plant ideas so that future real-world events feel familiar and less shocking.“The Department of War and the CIA have had an official entertainment liaison office for decades,” he says.“They are brought in to help shape stories, and it's not a shadowy conspiracy ... [Hollywood is] given jets and bases and technical advisers for their movies, and in exchange, they shape the stories for the government, and this is documented policy.”However, there’s another framework worth considering: George Gerbner’s cultivation theory.Gerbner’s theory argues that long-term, heavy exposure to media gradually "cultivates" or shapes people's perceptions of reality, making them believe the world is more like what they see on screen than it actually is.Glenn points out that heavy media consumption is one of the modern era’s defining characteristics, as people are “scrolling and staring and consuming media” essentially “eight hours every day.”“[Gerbner’s] research shows that heavy viewers develop mean world syndrome where everything is a danger. They overestimate the danger, crime, threats. They become more fearful, more dependent, and more open to strong-man measures,” he explains.What if “Disclosure Day” isn’t preparing us for real aliens but rather attempting to scare people into submitting to future government mandates?The most critical question, Glenn insists, is: “Who profits from the fear?”“We've been seeing a steady drum beat of disclosure that is happening. I don't know what's real and what's not,” Glenn confesses.But he does know one thing: “A government who has been denying [aliens] for decades suddenly decides to open the door?”“Why? And who profits from fear?” he asks.To hear more, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
Vice President JD Vance spent Tuesday on The View trying to explain away President Donald Trump's controversial remarks — and co-host Joy Behar immediately shut him down.Vance was on the show defending the administration's economic record days after Trump told reporters he loved the surging inflation, insisting it would fall once the war in Iran ended. Consumer prices had hit a three-year high in May.Behar came in swinging, invoking Trump's earlier claim that affordability is a "hoax" and the hundreds of millions being poured into the White House ballroom and the National Mall reflecting pool."Why is he doing them when everybody knows that Americans are struggling?" Behar asked. "What is he spending all this money for?"Vance pushed back on the "hoax" framing, arguing Trump meant the affordability crisis was Democrats' fault, not his. Then co-host Ana Navarro landed the punch that changed the segment."He just said he loves the inflation," Navarro said."What he said is that he loves the fact that the inflation is gonna come down when this war is over," Vance replied. "That's what he said.""That's not what he said," co-host Whoopi Goldberg fired back. "That wasn't a direct —"Behar finished the thought."Are you his interpreter or are you his vice president? Come on!"Vance let out a forced laugh, then tried again — reiterating that Trump's "I love the inflation" was really a prediction about post-war price drops, and pointing to falling gas prices as evidence of progress."When?" Behar said.
