Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stepped up to the White House podium as acting press secretary and delivered a crystal-clear message to the Iranian regime. In a fiery briefing, Rubio laid out Iran’s only two paths forward: Take the diplomatic off-ramp offered by President Trump and choose reconstruction, prosperity, and stability — or face "growing isolation, economic collapse, and, ultimately, total defeat." This comes as tensions remain high over control of the Strait of Hormuz, with energy prices spiking after Iran’s disruptive actions. Rubio made it clear that the U.S. is not seeking war but will respond decisively if provoked. We also cover: Gas prices continue to RISE around the U.S. Who will be the GOP 2028 candidate? President Trump brings back the Presidential Fitness Test. Do you remember Dr. Anthony Fauci? JD Vance visits Iowa. Rubio’s performance shows exactly why President Trump picked a battle-tested fighter like him to lead on the world stage. No weakness. No apologies. Just strength and clarity. This is what real leadership looks like — putting America First and refusing to let rogue regimes like Iran hold the world hostage. Turn on notifications so you never miss updates.

0:36.8	I'm not going to, you know, we're not cheering for an additional situation to occur. We would prefer the path of peace. Okay. What the president would prefer is a deal.

0:54.8	and he preferred that that be negotiated through the route that Steve and Jared have been working and that all of us have been supporting.
0:59.9	That's the route he prefers. That is so far not the route that Iran has chosen. And so the result has been that the United States has to do something about the fact that we're the only nation on Earth that can do anything to open up a lane within the Straits of Hormuz to get product and to rescue these people

1:33.4	by the actions that they're taking.
1:35.3	They should check themselves before they wreck themselves in the direction that they're going.
