RSS Feed President Trump has been posting up a storm on social media, from attacking CNN to celebrating “World Peace” less than 24 hours after writing “a whole civilization will die tonight.” There are massive questions this morning about what Iran’s official response was to the ceasefire agreement. Trump’s released version is significantly different than the lengthier, more aggressive one reported on by CNN and other news outlets.”

Speaker 1: Folks, it is Wednesday, April eighth, and breaking news on this Wednesday morning. An entire civilization did not die last night. There is a ceasefire with that. Welcome to this episode of Amy and tjson pretty some horrific stuff. The worst threat we have ever heard from the leader of free world probably robes eight o'clock. The deadline came an hour and a half before that. Things started to shape up and it looked like it was going this direction. That's the headline. The President didn't follow through on the threat.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Correct, And the headline is there is it seems a cease fire in place. It seems's I just say that because there are a lot of different varying statements that are flying around and the president, it's just it's whiplash.
00:00:51
Speaker 3: You go from twenty.
00:00:53
Speaker 2: Four hours from an entire civilization will die to world peace. The president's last truth social post came just a minute after midnight this morning, and it was in direct It was diametrically opposed to the one he posted just a few hours before.
00:01:13
Speaker 1: And of course you all know the President really had the world on edge after his post yesterday saying that an entire civilization would die by eight o'clock last night on Tuesday night, if the Iranians did not agree to a deal which included completely opening the straight of horror moves, that was the threat. Well things we started to hear the Pakistani Prime Minister saying that we have exchanged potential ceasefire plans with the two sides. They're considering what we were saying, Robes, and I think we said it here on an episode yesterday. The President wouldn't use this type of language if he didn't know possibly something was possible, or he was looking for any off ramp at that point he found one and here we are and no matter what, this is a good thing. But depending on who you're watching, Robes, who's taking credit for did the president's language work or did the President cave correct?
00:02:07
Speaker 2: And it just depends on which news sources most, because we actually had a bit of fun last night going back and forth looking at the different lower thirds. And that's basically the headlines that each news network puts below their anchors, and it's basically how they sum up the story that they're talking about. And Fox News had one way of looking at it and CNN had a very different way of.
00:02:36
Speaker 3: Looking at it.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Oh, Yeah, we're going to get into why the CNN is President's beefing in a major way and the threatening to a certain degree CNN. But let's tell you what is happening. Fine, around six thirty last night Eastern Time, an hour and a half before the deadline, we dig it word that there was a cease fire agreement in place, the two sides will stop shooting at each other. However, as of this recording here on Wednesday morning, not exactly clear when that ceasefire goes into place, and not exactly sure what is actually in it. We're going to get into that in a second, but road, let's just start with we knew the president was going to be the one to make the announcement, and in fact he did make the announcement yesterday, so we had two from him. Which one is the one? What's the first one here?
00:03:18
Speaker 3: Well, we can start.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: You said six thirty, so let's start with the one we got last night, but then announcing it.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, so he.
00:03:24
Speaker 2: Says, based on conversations with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marsher Marshall Assim Munir Pakistan and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hornmuz. I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided ceasefire. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East. We received a ten point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America as president and also representing the countries of the Middle East. It is an honor to have this long term problem close to resolution.
00:04:35
Speaker 1: Okay, that was the first anomenent. As we were standing by Robes, I said, we are in the kitchen cooking and we had the laptop up on the counter, continuing to refresh because we said he's going to be the one to make an announcement. Just wait for it, just wait for it. And sure enough, here it comes. A couple of key points in that robe, and one is a reference to the ten point plan, which we're going to tell you what the report is. Ten points are, and then you're going to really question his statement. And then the other thing robes subject to Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening. Hmmm. That is also going to be a point of contention, because there's nothing from the Iranian side that seems to suggest a complete immediate opening of the straight OFFORRD moves.
00:05:22
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that that is fair.
00:05:24
Speaker 2: There are some big question marks there, thanks work, and there are big question marks about what the official statement from Iran in fact actually is.
00:05:32
Speaker 1: We got a couple of statements we're going to share, but that was the first announcement we got from the president. His follow up, again, this was much different from the fire and fury an annihilation. He was promising, listen to this guy. This is a Nobel Peace Prize guy talking here.
00:05:47
Speaker 2: This came again at twelve one am, So while you were sleeping a big day for world peace.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Likewise, so has everyone else.
00:06:00
Speaker 2: The United States of America will be helping with the traffic build up in the Strait of Horn Moves.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: There will be lots of positive action, Big.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Money will be made.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: Iran can start the reconstruction process. We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds and just hanging around in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will just like we are experiencing in the US.
00:06:25
Speaker 3: This could be the golden age of the Middle East.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: He went from I'm gonna wipe a civilization out to now I'm going to rebuild it with Trump towers.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: I think most people would call that dangerously bipolar.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: What in the you know what robes? I had the exact same thought. I had the exact I'm weakening. We would talk to doctors who would say, this is manic behavior that we are seeing in twenty four hours in social media posts. I had the exact same thought. This is crazy and something's in quotation marks in there hanging around. What is that?
00:07:00
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know what that means.
00:07:02
Speaker 2: And when you have the same person literally seem like a devil and a saint in less than twenty four hours.
00:07:12
Speaker 3: Which one are you?
00:07:13
Speaker 1: Most of us are that are y?
00:07:17
Speaker 3: Yes? But but this is the most extreme version of that I can imagine. And he's the president of the United States.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: I have this question to ask you. We just went through all this about the president. There's a ceasefire, and if someone on the street had asked you, wow, I hear all that. What was Iran's response? Now, before you read anything, what would you say? What was Iran's response to all this? Or have they agreed to the ceasefire as well? What? Seriously, just before we read statements, what would your answer be?
00:07:48
Speaker 3: Unclear?
00:07:49
Speaker 1: That's fair? That is fair, and that is where we are, folks. Now, generally speaking, I believe there's an understanding that Iran has agreed to a ceasefire right now?
00:07:58
Speaker 3: Correct?
00:07:58
Speaker 1: I do? Yes? But what kind? Which one? Which points have been agreed to? Who knows? But which statement do you want to go with as the official one? Ropes?
00:08:11
Speaker 2: Okay, let's first give you Trump's official statement of Iran. Trump put this up on his social media saying this is from Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs and we have his name, Sayada bas Aragatchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Okay, on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I express gratitude and appreciation for my dear brothers, his excellence, Prime Minister of Sharif and his excellence Field Marshal Mounir for their tireless efforts to end the war in the region. In response to the brotherly request of Prime Minister Sharif in his tweet, and considering the request by the US for negotiations based on its fifteen point proposal as well as announcement by POTUS about acceptance of the general framework of Iran's ten point proposal as a basis for negotiations, I hereby declare, on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations for.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: A period of two weeks.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration of technical limitations. Okay, And then it was signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he claims. Trump claims. He claims that he's speaking on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: Okay, those are who we got the other statement from. Here's the deal.
00:09:43
Speaker 2: Yes, the other statement that has been circulated in part by CNN, The New York Times and NPR is from reportedly Iran Supreme National Security Council, not for someone on behalf of them.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: But from them in particular. Now, as crazy as it sounds, it was the speaker of the parliament there that I thought we were getting a lot of statements from. To be honest with you, has this guy I actually didn't catch this name. I wasn't familiar, so I don't. I mean, he who knows who's legit. But the President has said over the past several weeks we talked to some people, and we're talking to a guy who seems to be in the know, and he seems to know some stuff. And remember he was talking secretly. So this guy is now, according to Trump, speaking on behalf of the entire country and in particular, say the name of the council.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: Again, this is the Iranian Supreme So let me wait, hold on again, I'm sorry, Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
00:10:39
Speaker 1: Okay, this guy says he's speaking on their behalf. Correct, But the organization, the group themselves, this Security Council, has its own statement, right, correct. Okay, that statement is long. It's more what what aggressive? Aggressive? Is that the right word? And Frank it sounds more typical of what we're used to hearing from Ron is.
00:11:04
Speaker 2: Yes, this sounds very much unlike what we have heard from Iran. This conciliatory, like lots of gratitude. That's not what we have been hearing from them.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: So we'll here let you hear now from the other statement, which was much longer. We can't read the whole thing. Robes actually say, this is an entire podcast and a half just to read the statement, but a much longer statement, a much more as you say, aggressive statement. And this is also the statement that the president is threatening CNN over and you'll understand why when you hear some of this stuff.
00:11:38
Speaker 3: Okay, here are the three kind of most powerful excerpts.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: And it begins like this, the enemy, in its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation has suffered an undeniable, historic and crushing defeat.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Trump's not gonna like that, Okay.
00:11:54
Speaker 3: But doesn't that sound a lot more like Iran.
00:11:56
Speaker 1: It sounds like like Trump. Yes, it sounds exact exactly what you would say. You would take go over the top and claiming just unadulterated victory.
00:12:05
Speaker 3: Yes, okay.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: It goes on to say Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the criminal United States to accept its ten point plan.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: Which we will get into shortly.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: It goes on to say, we congratulate the people of Iran for this victory and reiterate that until the final details of the victory are finalized, officials and people must remain united and defiant.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: We congratulate the people of Iran with a specially nice touch. Yes, it was a rallying cry. You guys did get.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: Yes, And look, if you read the whole thing, it just he They go on to just eviscerate the United States, eviscerate President Trump. And you can see why when CNN reported some of these excerpts why President Trump got so irate.
00:12:49
Speaker 1: He was livid and because he was so upset, Robes lin credibility in our eyes to the statement. Right after this cease fire. I'm not sure how long, but it wasn't that long after Robes there was reporting that victory was being claimed elsewhere. The President didn't claim victory in his statement that I think that's also telling rogues. We this dude has no problem bragging about stuff he maybe shouldn't take full credit for. He had every opportunity to say, see my words worked, I did something Sleepy Joe couldn't do. I did something Obama tearing up that deal. See what happens when you have a guy like me and he had the chance. Why didn't he take that opportunity?
00:13:34
Speaker 2: That's so true. He did not, and he would have if he could have, you would think based on past behavior.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: So he took issue obviously quickly and immediately with that statement. We'll tell you more about what he said about CNN, but we need to get into the ten points of this plant robes. I've seen it in several places, and different organizations are having to translate it into English. But here are now the ten points that Iran says they have gotten the US to agree to in order to do a ceasefire. Some of this stuff is a non starter, it would seem.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: It would seem all right, And remember that the President said that this plan is a workable basis on which to negotiate. All right, here it is number one, the US must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non aggression. Number two continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Number three acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program.
00:14:37
Speaker 1: That had to have been lost in translation. There is no way the US said, Okay, let's talk about it.
00:14:42
Speaker 3: That seems like a non starter, all right. Number four.
00:14:45
Speaker 2: Removal of all primary sanctions on Iran ooh. Number five, removal of all secondary sanctions against foreign entities that do business with Iranian institutions. Number six, end of all United Security Council resolutions targeting ern Number seven end of all International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions on.
00:15:08
Speaker 3: Iran's nuclear program.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: What Number eight compensation payment to Iran for war damage.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: That's a big bill, are there?
00:15:18
Speaker 2: Number nine withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, the region, the region, and like there are people who are saying that that actually is making sure that you actually can't have US forces on any basis around us, all right? And number ten ceasefire on all fronts, including Israel's conflict with Esbela, and love and good luck with that one.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: That is not Okay, that is an off ramp. That is an off ramp, and fine, talk about all that stuff, but those are there's half of those are non starters, according to what the President has said, I mean non starters. It's almost like something has gotten lost in translation. There's no way that was correctly translated over into English. I mean.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: And to be fair, we President Trump did not say we were agreeing to those things, but he did say it was a foundation. And that is what doesn't make a lot of sense because I don't really see anything in that that we would ever agree to.
00:16:23
Speaker 1: None of that should be on the table in a negotiation. Robes go, I'm sorry, what was the Oh yeah, reparations. Yeah, black folks still ain't got it from the US, and y'all think y'all gonna get it. What are they talking about? All US combat troops from the region. These are non starters.
00:16:45
Speaker 2: I know, what are we It would be like we lost everything we already had in the region in order to get what.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a negotiation, and we've done negotiations before. You shoot for the moon, right, So in our next contract with iHeart, we want a billion dollars his and her private jets fine, let's shoot for the moon, all right, but stay here. Yes, it was that statement that was put out. It was that reporting about some of these ten points that really set the president off and now has him going after one of his favorite targets. Seeing it all right, continuing here on, Amy and TJ. Just wanted to give you the breaking news update. The update is that Iran has been not been wiped off the face of the earth ceasefire in place supposed to be for two weeks. Some details to be worked out between the US and Iran, but this is at least a good start robes. But a big part of the back and forth between Trump and Iran, Yeah, Trump versus Iran became Trump versus CNN at some point yesterday. He was upset that they were reporting about a different statement than the one he was putting out from some guy in Iran. But there was another statement put out that CNN went and double and triple checked, and it seems like they got very good sourcing and reporting and comfortable and they're not the only ones, and they got a problem with and the President has a problem with this statement. And you see why, as we just explained.
00:18:22
Speaker 3: Yes, and yes, it's a very good point to say.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: CN actually said they went back and double checks, got a new document it matched that one. They actually went to great links explaining how confident they are in their reporting. But we can do the most recent truth social posts from Trump. This happened at eleven.
00:18:41
Speaker 3: Thirty nine pm.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: He ended up doing two, but this is right.
00:18:44
Speaker 2: Yes, one at eight oh one pm and another one at eleven thirty nine pm.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: So that lets you know how concerned he was in the middle of a sea spire just being he took time to send messages out about CNN.
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Yes, so actually let me start with the eight oh one pm just so do it chronologically.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: Wait, it was eight one eight.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: Oh one pm was the first one he put out.
00:19:01
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I didn't actually know it was that quick. The ceasefire was announced at six thirty.
00:19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's focused on CNN pretty quickly.
00:19:08
Speaker 3: He says.
00:19:09
Speaker 2: The alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud. As CNN well knows, the false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria and of course immediately picked up by CNN and blared out as a legitimate headline. The official statement by Iron was just released and post on truth below. That's the one from the Foreign Minister. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake CNN World statement, or was it a sick rogue player. CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw the statement with full apologies for there as usual terrible reporting, reporting in quotes. Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.
00:19:53
Speaker 3: So that was an eight oh one.
00:19:54
Speaker 1: We're never going to hear anything else about it. And what was that thing of the oh yeah, or who's ordering them to apologize and take down reporting? Who is ordering?
00:20:04
Speaker 3: Possibly Brendan Carr.
00:20:05
Speaker 1: Okay, we want to do car next, you want to do the president's follow Well, let's do.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: The eleven thirty nine Trump post and then we'll get Brendan Carr involved.
00:20:13
Speaker 3: So yes, just before midnight, Trump put this out.
00:20:17
Speaker 2: No one can believe that fake news CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: Upper levels of the Iranian government. It didn't.
00:20:27
Speaker 2: It was totally made up and posted as a headline for purposes of perhaps inflaming a very delicate situation. It was a new trouble making site from Nigeria and CNN just got caught cheating a very dangerous.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Thing to do.
00:20:43
Speaker 1: What do you know about the Nigeria thing.
00:20:45
Speaker 2: I've seen no one else say that. I'm not sure where he's getting that from. It's not been explained.
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Okay, And can you please explain as well? This is not CNN going rogue finding something random on the Internet and then putting it out in the mid of a war. They're not the only ones reporting on this thing.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: Yes, the New York Times and PR as well, and CNN specifically saying that their high level source they actually had, they went to another. They went directly to the Iranian Foreign Minister's office. However, they communicated with him and say can you send us a separate document and the two matched exactly the official statement.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: And again the statement was officially reported on Iranian state television. Was it not correct? Okay? So that is run by the that's as legit as it gets, as crazy as that sounds.
00:21:31
Speaker 2: Yes, now our news is nor news, n O U R news. It's yes, completely backed by Iran Supreme National Supreme Council, which is exactly who CNN and others reported the official statement came from.
00:21:45
Speaker 1: Again, see he's taken issue with CNN. They might have been the first to have it. But again, Rob, you've been looking. I'm asking you and just making the point you looked at this a little more than I have. There are several legit big time news agencies who are saying this is a legitimate statement. Correct. Okay, there we go. So what's Brendan Carr want to do. He's gonna he wants Jimmy Kmble to get feel right.
00:22:06
Speaker 2: Yes, and to remind everyone Brendan Garr is the FCC chair.
00:22:10
Speaker 1: Oh we know FCC chair. Ever, he wanted to make.
00:22:14
Speaker 3: Sure that was clear. But he put this out on X last night.
00:22:18
Speaker 2: More outrageous conduct from CNN. Fake news is bad enough for the country, but pushing out a hoax headlineaks in such a sensitive national security moment as this requires accountability. Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them.
00:22:40
Speaker 3: Time for change at CNN.
00:22:44
Speaker 1: Which means why y'all reported something we don't like? And you know what, our guy is now going to be in charge of CNN, the Elesons, and you know We're gonna make some changes over there to make sure this is a this is taking over media. And he simply doesn't like that you reported something that is in contrast to the messaging he wants.
00:23:08
Speaker 2: That's it, Yes, and so it is one of those moments where you start to just wonder, well we talk about Iran's like Iran state backed media channel. I mean, well, it feels like that could also be said here in the United States.
00:23:24
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, folks, I just wanted to get you caught up. This one a little longer than we anticipated. That was gonna be a quick update, But there is a lot that's going on. Why did you get your caught up this morning? Because a lot did happen overnight and you probably did miss But there will be a day of developments today as well. Keep an eye on our feed as always. We'll have the morning run up for you here and just a little bit, but for now, for my dear Amy Robot, I'm TJ. Holmes talks to him.
Speaker 1: Folks, it is Wednesday, April eighth, and breaking news on this Wednesday morning. An entire civilization did not die last night. There is a ceasefire with that. Welcome to this episode of Amy and tjson pretty some horrific stuff. The worst threat we have ever heard from the leader of free world probably robes eight o'clock. The deadline came an hour and a half before that. Things started to shape up and it looked like it was going this direction. That's the headline. The President didn't follow through on the threat.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: Correct, And the headline is there is it seems a cease fire in place. It seems's I just say that because there are a lot of different varying statements that are flying around and the president, it's just it's whiplash.
00:00:51
Speaker 3: You go from twenty.
00:00:53
Speaker 2: Four hours from an entire civilization will die to world peace. The president's last truth social post came just a minute after midnight this morning, and it was in direct It was diametrically opposed to the one he posted just a few hours before.
00:01:13
Speaker 1: And of course you all know the President really had the world on edge after his post yesterday saying that an entire civilization would die by eight o'clock last night on Tuesday night, if the Iranians did not agree to a deal which included completely opening the straight of horror moves, that was the threat. Well things we started to hear the Pakistani Prime Minister saying that we have exchanged potential ceasefire plans with the two sides. They're considering what we were saying, Robes, and I think we said it here on an episode yesterday. The President wouldn't use this type of language if he didn't know possibly something was possible, or he was looking for any off ramp at that point he found one and here we are and no matter what, this is a good thing. But depending on who you're watching, Robes, who's taking credit for did the president's language work or did the President cave correct?
00:02:07
Speaker 2: And it just depends on which news sources most, because we actually had a bit of fun last night going back and forth looking at the different lower thirds. And that's basically the headlines that each news network puts below their anchors, and it's basically how they sum up the story that they're talking about. And Fox News had one way of looking at it and CNN had a very different way of.
00:02:36
Speaker 3: Looking at it.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Oh, Yeah, we're going to get into why the CNN is President's beefing in a major way and the threatening to a certain degree CNN. But let's tell you what is happening. Fine, around six thirty last night Eastern Time, an hour and a half before the deadline, we dig it word that there was a cease fire agreement in place, the two sides will stop shooting at each other. However, as of this recording here on Wednesday morning, not exactly clear when that ceasefire goes into place, and not exactly sure what is actually in it. We're going to get into that in a second, but road, let's just start with we knew the president was going to be the one to make the announcement, and in fact he did make the announcement yesterday, so we had two from him. Which one is the one? What's the first one here?
00:03:18
Speaker 3: Well, we can start.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: You said six thirty, so let's start with the one we got last night, but then announcing it.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, so he.
00:03:24
Speaker 2: Says, based on conversations with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marsher Marshall Assim Munir Pakistan and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hornmuz. I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided ceasefire. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East. We received a ten point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America as president and also representing the countries of the Middle East. It is an honor to have this long term problem close to resolution.
00:04:35
Speaker 1: Okay, that was the first anomenent. As we were standing by Robes, I said, we are in the kitchen cooking and we had the laptop up on the counter, continuing to refresh because we said he's going to be the one to make an announcement. Just wait for it, just wait for it. And sure enough, here it comes. A couple of key points in that robe, and one is a reference to the ten point plan, which we're going to tell you what the report is. Ten points are, and then you're going to really question his statement. And then the other thing robes subject to Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening. Hmmm. That is also going to be a point of contention, because there's nothing from the Iranian side that seems to suggest a complete immediate opening of the straight OFFORRD moves.
00:05:22
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that that is fair.
00:05:24
Speaker 2: There are some big question marks there, thanks work, and there are big question marks about what the official statement from Iran in fact actually is.
00:05:32
Speaker 1: We got a couple of statements we're going to share, but that was the first announcement we got from the president. His follow up, again, this was much different from the fire and fury an annihilation. He was promising, listen to this guy. This is a Nobel Peace Prize guy talking here.
00:05:47
Speaker 2: This came again at twelve one am, So while you were sleeping a big day for world peace.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Likewise, so has everyone else.
00:06:00
Speaker 2: The United States of America will be helping with the traffic build up in the Strait of Horn Moves.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: There will be lots of positive action, Big.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Money will be made.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: Iran can start the reconstruction process. We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds and just hanging around in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will just like we are experiencing in the US.
00:06:25
Speaker 3: This could be the golden age of the Middle East.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: He went from I'm gonna wipe a civilization out to now I'm going to rebuild it with Trump towers.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: I think most people would call that dangerously bipolar.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: What in the you know what robes? I had the exact same thought. I had the exact I'm weakening. We would talk to doctors who would say, this is manic behavior that we are seeing in twenty four hours in social media posts. I had the exact same thought. This is crazy and something's in quotation marks in there hanging around. What is that?
00:07:00
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know what that means.
00:07:02
Speaker 2: And when you have the same person literally seem like a devil and a saint in less than twenty four hours.
00:07:12
Speaker 3: Which one are you?
00:07:13
Speaker 1: Most of us are that are y?
00:07:17
Speaker 3: Yes? But but this is the most extreme version of that I can imagine. And he's the president of the United States.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: I have this question to ask you. We just went through all this about the president. There's a ceasefire, and if someone on the street had asked you, wow, I hear all that. What was Iran's response? Now, before you read anything, what would you say? What was Iran's response to all this? Or have they agreed to the ceasefire as well? What? Seriously, just before we read statements, what would your answer be?
00:07:48
Speaker 3: Unclear?
00:07:49
Speaker 1: That's fair? That is fair, and that is where we are, folks. Now, generally speaking, I believe there's an understanding that Iran has agreed to a ceasefire right now?
00:07:58
Speaker 3: Correct?
00:07:58
Speaker 1: I do? Yes? But what kind? Which one? Which points have been agreed to? Who knows? But which statement do you want to go with as the official one? Ropes?
00:08:11
Speaker 2: Okay, let's first give you Trump's official statement of Iran. Trump put this up on his social media saying this is from Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs and we have his name, Sayada bas Aragatchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Okay, on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I express gratitude and appreciation for my dear brothers, his excellence, Prime Minister of Sharif and his excellence Field Marshal Mounir for their tireless efforts to end the war in the region. In response to the brotherly request of Prime Minister Sharif in his tweet, and considering the request by the US for negotiations based on its fifteen point proposal as well as announcement by POTUS about acceptance of the general framework of Iran's ten point proposal as a basis for negotiations, I hereby declare, on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations for.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: A period of two weeks.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration of technical limitations. Okay, And then it was signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he claims. Trump claims. He claims that he's speaking on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: Okay, those are who we got the other statement from. Here's the deal.
00:09:43
Speaker 2: Yes, the other statement that has been circulated in part by CNN, The New York Times and NPR is from reportedly Iran Supreme National Security Council, not for someone on behalf of them.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: But from them in particular. Now, as crazy as it sounds, it was the speaker of the parliament there that I thought we were getting a lot of statements from. To be honest with you, has this guy I actually didn't catch this name. I wasn't familiar, so I don't. I mean, he who knows who's legit. But the President has said over the past several weeks we talked to some people, and we're talking to a guy who seems to be in the know, and he seems to know some stuff. And remember he was talking secretly. So this guy is now, according to Trump, speaking on behalf of the entire country and in particular, say the name of the council.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: Again, this is the Iranian Supreme So let me wait, hold on again, I'm sorry, Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
00:10:39
Speaker 1: Okay, this guy says he's speaking on their behalf. Correct, But the organization, the group themselves, this Security Council, has its own statement, right, correct. Okay, that statement is long. It's more what what aggressive? Aggressive? Is that the right word? And Frank it sounds more typical of what we're used to hearing from Ron is.
00:11:04
Speaker 2: Yes, this sounds very much unlike what we have heard from Iran. This conciliatory, like lots of gratitude. That's not what we have been hearing from them.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: So we'll here let you hear now from the other statement, which was much longer. We can't read the whole thing. Robes actually say, this is an entire podcast and a half just to read the statement, but a much longer statement, a much more as you say, aggressive statement. And this is also the statement that the president is threatening CNN over and you'll understand why when you hear some of this stuff.
00:11:38
Speaker 3: Okay, here are the three kind of most powerful excerpts.
00:11:42
Speaker 2: And it begins like this, the enemy, in its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation has suffered an undeniable, historic and crushing defeat.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Trump's not gonna like that, Okay.
00:11:54
Speaker 3: But doesn't that sound a lot more like Iran.
00:11:56
Speaker 1: It sounds like like Trump. Yes, it sounds exact exactly what you would say. You would take go over the top and claiming just unadulterated victory.
00:12:05
Speaker 3: Yes, okay.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: It goes on to say Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the criminal United States to accept its ten point plan.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: Which we will get into shortly.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: It goes on to say, we congratulate the people of Iran for this victory and reiterate that until the final details of the victory are finalized, officials and people must remain united and defiant.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: We congratulate the people of Iran with a specially nice touch. Yes, it was a rallying cry. You guys did get.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: Yes, And look, if you read the whole thing, it just he They go on to just eviscerate the United States, eviscerate President Trump. And you can see why when CNN reported some of these excerpts why President Trump got so irate.
00:12:49
Speaker 1: He was livid and because he was so upset, Robes lin credibility in our eyes to the statement. Right after this cease fire. I'm not sure how long, but it wasn't that long after Robes there was reporting that victory was being claimed elsewhere. The President didn't claim victory in his statement that I think that's also telling rogues. We this dude has no problem bragging about stuff he maybe shouldn't take full credit for. He had every opportunity to say, see my words worked, I did something Sleepy Joe couldn't do. I did something Obama tearing up that deal. See what happens when you have a guy like me and he had the chance. Why didn't he take that opportunity?
00:13:34
Speaker 2: That's so true. He did not, and he would have if he could have, you would think based on past behavior.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: So he took issue obviously quickly and immediately with that statement. We'll tell you more about what he said about CNN, but we need to get into the ten points of this plant robes. I've seen it in several places, and different organizations are having to translate it into English. But here are now the ten points that Iran says they have gotten the US to agree to in order to do a ceasefire. Some of this stuff is a non starter, it would seem.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: It would seem all right, And remember that the President said that this plan is a workable basis on which to negotiate. All right, here it is number one, the US must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non aggression. Number two continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Number three acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program.
00:14:37
Speaker 1: That had to have been lost in translation. There is no way the US said, Okay, let's talk about it.
00:14:42
Speaker 3: That seems like a non starter, all right. Number four.
00:14:45
Speaker 2: Removal of all primary sanctions on Iran ooh. Number five, removal of all secondary sanctions against foreign entities that do business with Iranian institutions. Number six, end of all United Security Council resolutions targeting ern Number seven end of all International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions on.
00:15:08
Speaker 3: Iran's nuclear program.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: What Number eight compensation payment to Iran for war damage.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: That's a big bill, are there?
00:15:18
Speaker 2: Number nine withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, the region, the region, and like there are people who are saying that that actually is making sure that you actually can't have US forces on any basis around us, all right? And number ten ceasefire on all fronts, including Israel's conflict with Esbela, and love and good luck with that one.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: That is not Okay, that is an off ramp. That is an off ramp, and fine, talk about all that stuff, but those are there's half of those are non starters, according to what the President has said, I mean non starters. It's almost like something has gotten lost in translation. There's no way that was correctly translated over into English. I mean.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: And to be fair, we President Trump did not say we were agreeing to those things, but he did say it was a foundation. And that is what doesn't make a lot of sense because I don't really see anything in that that we would ever agree to.
00:16:23
Speaker 1: None of that should be on the table in a negotiation. Robes go, I'm sorry, what was the Oh yeah, reparations. Yeah, black folks still ain't got it from the US, and y'all think y'all gonna get it. What are they talking about? All US combat troops from the region. These are non starters.
00:16:45
Speaker 2: I know, what are we It would be like we lost everything we already had in the region in order to get what.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a negotiation, and we've done negotiations before. You shoot for the moon, right, So in our next contract with iHeart, we want a billion dollars his and her private jets fine, let's shoot for the moon, all right, but stay here. Yes, it was that statement that was put out. It was that reporting about some of these ten points that really set the president off and now has him going after one of his favorite targets. Seeing it all right, continuing here on, Amy and TJ. Just wanted to give you the breaking news update. The update is that Iran has been not been wiped off the face of the earth ceasefire in place supposed to be for two weeks. Some details to be worked out between the US and Iran, but this is at least a good start robes. But a big part of the back and forth between Trump and Iran, Yeah, Trump versus Iran became Trump versus CNN at some point yesterday. He was upset that they were reporting about a different statement than the one he was putting out from some guy in Iran. But there was another statement put out that CNN went and double and triple checked, and it seems like they got very good sourcing and reporting and comfortable and they're not the only ones, and they got a problem with and the President has a problem with this statement. And you see why, as we just explained.
00:18:22
Speaker 3: Yes, and yes, it's a very good point to say.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: CN actually said they went back and double checks, got a new document it matched that one. They actually went to great links explaining how confident they are in their reporting. But we can do the most recent truth social posts from Trump. This happened at eleven.
00:18:41
Speaker 3: Thirty nine pm.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: He ended up doing two, but this is right.
00:18:44
Speaker 2: Yes, one at eight oh one pm and another one at eleven thirty nine pm.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: So that lets you know how concerned he was in the middle of a sea spire just being he took time to send messages out about CNN.
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Yes, so actually let me start with the eight oh one pm just so do it chronologically.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: Wait, it was eight one eight.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: Oh one pm was the first one he put out.
00:19:01
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I didn't actually know it was that quick. The ceasefire was announced at six thirty.
00:19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's focused on CNN pretty quickly.
00:19:08
Speaker 3: He says.
00:19:09
Speaker 2: The alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud. As CNN well knows, the false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria and of course immediately picked up by CNN and blared out as a legitimate headline. The official statement by Iron was just released and post on truth below. That's the one from the Foreign Minister. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake CNN World statement, or was it a sick rogue player. CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw the statement with full apologies for there as usual terrible reporting, reporting in quotes. Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.
00:19:53
Speaker 3: So that was an eight oh one.
00:19:54
Speaker 1: We're never going to hear anything else about it. And what was that thing of the oh yeah, or who's ordering them to apologize and take down reporting? Who is ordering?
00:20:04
Speaker 3: Possibly Brendan Carr.
00:20:05
Speaker 1: Okay, we want to do car next, you want to do the president's follow Well, let's do.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: The eleven thirty nine Trump post and then we'll get Brendan Carr involved.
00:20:13
Speaker 3: So yes, just before midnight, Trump put this out.
00:20:17
Speaker 2: No one can believe that fake news CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the.
00:20:24
Speaker 3: Upper levels of the Iranian government. It didn't.
00:20:27
Speaker 2: It was totally made up and posted as a headline for purposes of perhaps inflaming a very delicate situation. It was a new trouble making site from Nigeria and CNN just got caught cheating a very dangerous.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Thing to do.
00:20:43
Speaker 1: What do you know about the Nigeria thing.
00:20:45
Speaker 2: I've seen no one else say that. I'm not sure where he's getting that from. It's not been explained.
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Okay, And can you please explain as well? This is not CNN going rogue finding something random on the Internet and then putting it out in the mid of a war. They're not the only ones reporting on this thing.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: Yes, the New York Times and PR as well, and CNN specifically saying that their high level source they actually had, they went to another. They went directly to the Iranian Foreign Minister's office. However, they communicated with him and say can you send us a separate document and the two matched exactly the official statement.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: And again the statement was officially reported on Iranian state television. Was it not correct? Okay? So that is run by the that's as legit as it gets, as crazy as that sounds.
00:21:31
Speaker 2: Yes, now our news is nor news, n O U R news. It's yes, completely backed by Iran Supreme National Supreme Council, which is exactly who CNN and others reported the official statement came from.
00:21:45
Speaker 1: Again, see he's taken issue with CNN. They might have been the first to have it. But again, Rob, you've been looking. I'm asking you and just making the point you looked at this a little more than I have. There are several legit big time news agencies who are saying this is a legitimate statement. Correct. Okay, there we go. So what's Brendan Carr want to do. He's gonna he wants Jimmy Kmble to get feel right.
00:22:06
Speaker 2: Yes, and to remind everyone Brendan Garr is the FCC chair.
00:22:10
Speaker 1: Oh we know FCC chair. Ever, he wanted to make.
00:22:14
Speaker 3: Sure that was clear. But he put this out on X last night.
00:22:18
Speaker 2: More outrageous conduct from CNN. Fake news is bad enough for the country, but pushing out a hoax headlineaks in such a sensitive national security moment as this requires accountability. Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them.
00:22:40
Speaker 3: Time for change at CNN.
00:22:44
Speaker 1: Which means why y'all reported something we don't like? And you know what, our guy is now going to be in charge of CNN, the Elesons, and you know We're gonna make some changes over there to make sure this is a this is taking over media. And he simply doesn't like that you reported something that is in contrast to the messaging he wants.
00:23:08
Speaker 2: That's it, Yes, and so it is one of those moments where you start to just wonder, well we talk about Iran's like Iran state backed media channel. I mean, well, it feels like that could also be said here in the United States.
00:23:24
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, folks, I just wanted to get you caught up. This one a little longer than we anticipated. That was gonna be a quick update, But there is a lot that's going on. Why did you get your caught up this morning? Because a lot did happen overnight and you probably did miss But there will be a day of developments today as well. Keep an eye on our feed as always. We'll have the morning run up for you here and just a little bit, but for now, for my dear Amy Robot, I'm TJ. Holmes talks to him.
