**Donald Trump** (0:02)
We hit them very hard last night, very, very hard. Probably hit them hard again tonight. I'll give them a little warning, we're gonna hit them hard tonight. No, I'm not happy with them.

**Nigel** (0:11)
Yeah, the world's crappiest ceasefire continues. I'm not even sure, Hammer, if you can call it a ceasefire anymore between the United States and Iran. I think it's like, I don't know, man. It might be game on, I don't know. The the world's crappiest ceasefire. I will give you full credit. I don't like giving you credit for anything.
But you coined a great phrase when you called the ceasefire between but in this, you know, this document that they signed and everything. It's the world's crappiest ceasefire. I think so.

**Hammer** (0:49)
When you look at the word ceasefire, none of that has been taking place between the United States and Iran.

**Nigel** (0:56)
No fire has been ceased.

**Hammer** (0:57)
None.
Zero. Zilch. And last night, when the Iranians are supposed to be doing the funeral for the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, even though he died months ago, and this thing feels like it's on like day number four now, they were firing shots, sending drones to the Strait of Hormuz to screw with all types of different ships. So the United States basically said, bleep me, bleep you, and they fired 80 plus strikes against the Iranians. So as you so eloquently said it earlier, Nigel, to quote Wayne and Garth, I think this sums up the United States and Iran.

**Nigel** (1:41)
Game on!

**Donald Trump** (1:43)
Game on! Game on!

**Hammer** (1:46)
Game on! It's happening again.

**Nigel** (1:49)
Car. Instead of car, it's drone.

**Hammer** (1:55)
Game on!
President Trump, he's overseas in Turkey. Are we saying that right now? It's almost like you've got to be a member of the Sopranos to pronounce the new way of saying Turkey. Turkey.

**Nigel** (2:09)
Oh, well, I mean, it's like the same thing with Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt.

**Hammer** (2:13)
Yeah. President Trump calling Iran scum and the world's crappiest cease fire over.

**Donald Trump** (2:23)
It's a very interesting question. To me, I think it's over.
I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is? They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick people.
And they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people. Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal. And if I make a deal with him, we have a deal and he goes out, he talks. We make a deal. Everyone's agreed. No nuclear weapon.
We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say, we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo.

**Nigel** (3:14)
Yeah, if you're Trump's guys and you're over there negotiating, you're Whitcoff, you're Jared Kushner, you're like, oh, for FS. You know, how many times FS has been texted via those two for the past two months?

**Hammer** (3:31)
Now, I will say this, though. I feel like all of us have known this about the Iranians for a long time. It's similar to the Graham Platner situation the Democrats are going through. You're just now realizing this guy's a scumbag. You're just now realizing the Iranians might not be good guys or very trustworthy.
We've known this from the beginning. And now, President Trump warning the US could, oh, I don't know, take out their bridges, take out their electrical grid, take over Karg Island.

**Donald Trump** (4:04)
Look, we're not attacking at the highest level. The highest level of the bridges there, which we can knock down. I would say in one day, we knocked down every single bridge in Iran. There's not a thing they can do about it. They're electric manufacturing facilities, right? They're electric plants where they make their electricity there. We will, if we have to, we'll take them out. I don't want to do that, but if we have to, we'll take them out.
They have desalination plants. We'll take them out if we have to. I hate to do that. That's probably the one I would like not to do least.
We attacked Karg Island last night. Knocked out a piece. I said, don't don't touch the oil. Because maybe we'll take over Karg Island. We may take over Karg Island. It's not a thing they can do about it.

**Nigel** (4:56)
Yeah, Karg Island is where all the oil comes in and out of in Iran. And I think they've treated that waterway, the strait, that GD Strait of Hormuz. I'm so sick of hearing about it. But it's Iran that's using that as a some sort of bargaining chip, I feel like almost Hammer. It's like the United States is saying, no, no, no, no, this is unrestricted international shipping. You're not using the strait as any sort of bargaining chip. There's there's not going to be any taxes. There's not going to be any payments going through. And then do you have the recent attacks on commercial vessels?
