0:00.0	Last night at 632 Eastern Time right in the middle of dinner, Donald Trump sent out a truth post, his version of Twitter, in which he announced a ceasefire with Iran.
0:17.0	Here's exactly what he said. This would be one hour and 28 minutes before the total destruction of Iran that he had been promising the implied use of nuclear weapons or some other weapon of mass destruction, a weapon powerful enough to eliminate an entire country in one night, as he said. So that's what people were expecting to see. That's what
0:39.1	he promised to deliver. And instead, this statement. Subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran,
0:46.3	agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend
0:51.1	the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.
0:55.1	We've already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive
0:59.6	agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East.
1:04.1	We received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believed it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.
1:09.6	Almost all the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the U.S. and Iran,
1:13.7	but a two-week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated.

1:20.7	and also representing the countries of the Middle East,
1:22.8	it's an honor to have this long-term problem close to resolution.
1:27.4	Well, amen. Cold water on a hot day.
1:30.3	The nation, the world breathed a sigh of relief and particularly pleased were people
1:34.9	who have fought in previous wars, people in the GWAT generation, people who are conspicuously
1:40.5	absent from the Fox News analysis of this war.
1:43.2	People know it is to fight wars.
1:45.2	Because one of the things that people who fight wars or see them up close learn is that almost anything is better than war.
1:52.5	Even a step back or a step down, even giving up something you want, well bitter, is better than war, because there is nothing worse in this life
2:03.3	than total war. And that's a generational lesson. Every generation that experiences total war
2:11.0	learns that lesson. And so the most eloquent writing about why war is bad is written by people who have seen it and experienced it.
