Welcome to the Restis Politics, US.

0:09.0

We are on a live stream primarily because we have another taco situation and just to update people that are, have decided maybe rightfully to turn off the local news and their Twitter feeds and

0:22.1

so forth. United States is agreeing to a 10-point proposal, or at least the president of the

0:28.0

United States, Donald Trump, is saying that the 10-point proposal is workable. And a lot of that

0:34.8

proposal is probably not the best sorts of things for the United States,

0:39.3

including it looks like the Strait of Hermuz will likely be in the control of the Iranians.

0:45.3

And so again, I don't want to report propaganda here, but what is on the table on that 10-point plan, I will tell you.

1:39.1

for a way out. He didn't just want to taco himself on Twitter. So he got the Pakistani prime minister to taco for him.

1:48.1

So go ahead.

1:49.3

Tell us how he did that, Caddy.

1:51.6

I like the fact that tackowing is now a verb that has become so ubiquitous in Donald Trump's

1:57.8

second presidency with tariffs and now with Iran that it's now a verb.

2:01.0

So Donald Trump has now given him a two-week window, himself another two-week extension.

2:05.7

I think it's hard to see that he could keep giving even more extensions beyond this two weeks.
