CHARLIE HURT (CO-HOST): An unprecedented Middle East mission raising questions that Iran completely miscalculated its negotiations with the United States. President Trump had offered a deal to Iran to support civilian energy needs indefinitely in exchange for Iran abandoning its nuclear ambitions, and the regime rejected it. Brian Kilmeade, Fox & Friends co-host and host of One Nation joins us now. So, it is kind of amazing to sit back and realize according to administration officials that the administration offered a lifetime of free nuclear energy if Iran would just abandon its nuclear aims and they rejected it.
BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX NEWS HOST): And the problem is, Charlie, they’re sitting on an ocean of oil and they didn’t need nuclear energy unless they were suddenly environmentally conscious. But let’s play this out. They would say we will enrich outside your country like the UAE does and the way Saudi Arabia I believe does, and then if you want to use that nuclear enriched uranium for your nuclear power, of course you can’t weaponize it because it only goes into a nuclear power plant. That’s what was offered to them multiple times, but it turns out they wouldn’t even entertain getting rid of ballistic missiles. Now, we showed you the waves and where they can reach into Europe with their ballistic missiles. By 2035, they would have had intercontinental ballistic missiles, be able to reach us. Just like North Korea will be able to reach us. To those who say, they never would have gotten that, you said that about North Korea too, and guess who has it? And guess who their allies are? China and Russia. They’d be supplying the same things, in fact China was arming up again in the last nine months. And I’ll bring you to this, yesterday I was fortunate enough to be in a briefing with high-ranking Trump officials, at which time they said they refused to go to zero on enrichment and said they needed it for medical devices. Medical devices? They have no history of using it so they then thought that was weird. They also found out that in the last year, they can spin up and make their own centrifuges so we couldn’t even track any longer how many centrifuges because we would know how many centrifuges you need in order to get a nuclear weapon and they wouldn’t even put on the table not funding the proxies. So this was a delay of game, and they thoroughly miscalculated and by the way, having a meeting with 40 different higher-ups, as the ayatollah, knowing that nine months ago when they were brought to a fake meeting that the Israelis used to get everybody together, and then they killed them all. That’s how miscalculated this guy was. He thought he’d never be touched, because six other presidents never pulled the trigger.
[…]KILMEADE: There’s going to be dicey days ahead, there’s going to be times where sadly we might have some casualties and they might be successful in getting to one of our bases, but in the big picture, this president has shown more courage and this Pentagon, Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon, has executed brilliantly once again. At one point, Senator Mark Kelly and all these other critics that want to put Pete Hegseth down, should look at what he’s doing and look at the actions and execution of his plans, and have to at one point say, man, this is as fine a military era that we’ve had in American history, all volunteers using technology and weaving it together.
HURT: It’s truly an extraordinary string of wins for sure.
