Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: War & Peace: Trump Gets a Ceasefire… Sort Of | The Millstone Report

And what a crazy, crazy 24-hour news cycle.
I mean, things really do change quickly, don't they?
They change at lightning speed.
So the question now is, I'm sure you've all heard, I mean, the news.
Will the ceasefire hold?
But, you know, we're going to wait and see.
We've got a lot of news to get to, a lot of takes around the internet.
I would say, you know, the people who are not having a very good day, it's kind of like it's whiplash, really, because on Friday, you know, when Trump set a two-week deadline or whatever, there were people like Mark Levin and there were people like Lindsey Graham that you just knew the John Boltons of the world.
And then the strikes happened, and then they were all excited.
They were all ecstatic.
And then yesterday you had, while this ceasefire agreement, this peace was being negotiated or it was being announced, you had Lindsey Graham going to the floor of the Senate trying to drum up war, trying to get the U.S. to go even further to do this in response to the strikes that Iran did on our base in Qatar.
And now it's just like it's all reversed again.
Mark Levin appears to be crashing out specifically against Steve Bannon.
And obviously people like John Bolton, you've got to imagine, are not very happy.
People like Lindsey Graham, not very happy.
This idea of essentially trying to stop an Iraq 2.0.
It's just absolutely incredible.
Trump, very upset, had very strong words for Israel because the ceasefire, the deadlines were not originally adhered to.
And it looks, I mean, honestly, what happened is what Trump said, we're going to get to those comments here in a minute, but what Trump said was, you know, we have the countdown starts until the ceasefire.
And so Israel then takes advantage of that and says, oh, so we only have, you know, 12 hours left.
And so they start bombing.
You know, they increase the amount of destruction.
It's like they want to get, you know, one last punch in before the ceasefire takes place.
And of course, then, you know, Iran is sitting there saying, well, okay, is this real?
I mean, is Israel actually going to adhere to it?
I know Derek Evans posted a clip that talked about how it looks like the peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, Trump's peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, apparently has been in contact, according to one report, was in contact with Iran's leadership from the moment the bombings commenced up until the ceasefire agreement.
They've been in constant or near constant contact.
So that's certainly interesting.
Before we get started or do anything else, we're going to go through Trump's Truth Social because it's been quite a blast to watch.
I want to remind everybody, this portion of the Milstone report brought to you by Red Vive Health.
They will sell you.
They want to sell you.
I want you to buy their life-enhancing, I think life-saving, quite frankly, red light panels.
And it's all scientifically proven.
It's incredible stuff.
I've been talking about it for a long time now, and I want you guys to buy this stuff because I really do believe in the technology.
I used it again this morning for back issues as well as just, you know, it's just generally incredible stuff, incredible technology.
We'll tell you more about the healing power of red light a little later in the program.
But if you want to skip ahead, you can always call that number on the screen.
You can mention my name, Paul, and they'll make sure you get the discount, or you can use the link.
And we'll tell you more about that here in just a minute.
Let's get to the true social posts first, though.
And so we're going to start with the most obvious one.
What's crazy is, so me and my co-host for the afternoon show, the Paul Hurrell Program, which also airs on X-American News Now, we're really excited about that.
I mean, we did a whole show yesterday, or most of the show yesterday, was kind of focused on trying to wrap our minds around what was happening.
And I think in the midst of that, the ceasefire, while we were probably on the air or right after we got off the air, we had this post by Donald Trump.
But we were actually going over Donald Trump's truths when he was saying that the ones earlier in the day, he was saying, look, Iran struck back.
They got it out of their system, he said.
We don't really think anything else is going to happen.
And I'm going to encourage Israel To quit bombing, and I'm going to encourage Iran to quit bombing and everything else.
And I was like, wow, that's pretty big.
That's, I guess, that was the latest tweet that he made.
I think I may be getting the timeline mix up there.
But then we get this: congratulations to everyone.
It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress final missions for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended.
Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world.
During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, but it did not.
I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war.
This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
God bless Israel.
God bless Iran.
God bless the Middle East.
God bless the United States of America.
And God bless the world.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America.
Incredible, magnanimous statement.
And, you know, for those, it's this statement right here.
It's his blessing on Iran.
It's God, or I'm sorry, Trump wishing God's blessing on Iran here.
Can you see that there?
That is actually just like nails on a chalkboard to people like a Mark Levin, like a Lindsey Graham, that in a very Orwellian way just are wanting to teach people who to hate, right?
You know, meaning Iran is evil.
Iran's got to go.
And, you know, you set it up in these black and white details.
And when you do that, when you set it up in these black and white details, it just makes it so much easier to dehumanize the population there and not really have to weigh the moral cost of war.
So I think this is really good, just a really good, you know, it's just a really nice way of putting it.
It's trying to rise above all of the rhetoric and actually get peace.
Now, will we get peace?
Will it be a lasting peace?
That remains to be seen.
I would remind all of you out there to still keep your heads on a swivel because domestically speaking, I can speak for the military-industrial controlled mainstream media that any attack on the U.S. homeland will be immediately painted as it has come from Iran.
And they will use that, I believe, to once again try to get us involved in a war with Iran.
I don't think this is necessarily over, but I also think that in the homeland, we have people that are trying to keep these type of things from happening as well.
So we still need to remain in prayer.
But, you know, I echo what Tucker Carlson said through all of this.
Tucker Carlson said, just made one post.
He said, thank God.
Thank God.
And if all of this holds, that's exactly what we should be doing.
Well, we should do it regardless, but certainly being grateful to the Lord for orchestrating this because, of course, he's in charge of everything.
And what that, you know, I think Laura Loomer criticized Tucker for saying that and said that he lacks humility.
And I posted that.
Actually, no, I mean, thanking God and his sovereign will for not allowing the war to continue and it end up, in our case, from an America standpoint, end up with dead soldiers in the Middle East or our planes being shot down or whatever.
Like, that's actually very humble to recognize that and to thank the Lord for peace because that's good.
So I told you that Trump's Truth Social has been pretty wild to watch.
Here's another one.
Both Israel and Iran wanted to stop the war equally.
It was my great honor to destroy all nuclear facilities and capability and then stop the war.
I told you yesterday that there are conflicting reports about that, but in terms of removing this talking point about Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, I'm thrilled that that talking point, at least for the time being, has been removed from the chessboard.
He says the ceasefire is now in effect.
Please do not violate it.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.
We've got a clip from Steve Bannon about this, how Donald Trump went to bed and trusted Netanyahu, and he woke up, and he's got some very strong words for Israel.
Donald Trump re-truthing Charlie Kirk, who's calling for, is this the one where he calls for the Nobel Peace Prize?
I don't think it is.
But anyway, he says, no nukes for Iran, no troops on the ground, no U.S. troops dead, no regime change, no nation building, no war.
President Trump with a historic masterclass.
That's how Kirk is putting it.
And then he says he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
And there's actually, he's now been nominated for that.
Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize over Iran-Israel ceasefire deal.
Congressman Buddy Carter credits Donald Trump with preventing Iran from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.
So he's been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize there.
And then Donald Trump says this, now that we have made peace abroad, we must finish the job here at home by passing the great, big, beautiful bill and getting the bill to my desk, ASAP.
It will be a historic present for the great people of the United States of America as we begin the celebration of our country's 250th birthday.
We are finally entering our golden age, which will bring unprecedented safety, security, and prosperity for all of our citizens.
To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room.
If you must, don't go home and get the deal done this week.
Work with the House so they can Pick it up and pass it immediately.
No one goes on vacation until it's done.
Everyone, most importantly, the American people, will be much better off thanks to our work together, make America great again.
Interesting, there are some people who have speculated that there was a lot of people in the Senate, a lot of more warmongers or hawkish people, I guess would be the peaceful way to say that, which is ironic, that didn't want to pass Trump's bill until he attacked Iran.
So if that's the case, that's extremely disturbing.
It leans basically I guess I would credit Owen Schroyer.
Excuse me, I'm getting tongue-tied here.
Owen Schroyer has been saying many times that we have to deal with this Middle East war before we get the mass deportations that we were promised and we get the Doge cuts we were promised and a whole lot of other things that are, you know, make America great again related.
So if that is the case and that's what was happening, that's shameful and really highlights a giant problem that we have here.
And it goes to what I talk about all the time.
I mean, we really need leaders that love the people they claim to serve.
And I think for far too long, based on the actions of those in Washington, to me, it's apparent that we have leaders that hate us by their actions.
Not with their words, of course, on the campaign trail, but with their actions.
They appear to hate us, actually.
Donald Trump retreated.
So I think there's this now there's this effort.
We've got to refocus on this domestic agenda.
So Donald Trump's saying that he actually retweets this or retruths or whatever you call it.
I don't even know.
But he puts out this collage of ex-posts refocusing on being invaded by the third world and how we've got to do something about this to save the country.
Several people here who are saying, look, you import the third world, you become the third world.
Some guy says, I have to admit these protests have truly changed my mind about the Trump administration and ICE.
I find myself wanting 100,000 times more deportations than I did yesterday.
Even puts Aaron McIntyre on the list who says mass deportations of the country is over.
It's the only issue that matters.
Expel the foreign invaders while the options still exist.
Back on the Iran issue, Donald Trump truthing China can now continue to purchase oil from Iran.
Hopefully they will be purchasing plenty from the U.S. Also, it was my great honor to make that happen.
And of course, Trump is heading to NATO.
Trump also saying, look, Iran's never going to rebuild their nuclear facilities.
And then he said this.
Now, this is kind of going to bring us into the issue that happened earlier today or yesterday at this point.
He writes, Israel is not going to attack Iran.
All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran.
Nobody will be hurt.
The ceasefire is in effect.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
So this kind of all, and then he says, Israel, do not drop those bombs.
If you do, it is a major violation.
Bring your pilots home now because there was some bombs dropped that were past the ceasefire deal.
He says, Iran and Israel came to me almost simultaneously and said, peace.
I knew the time was now.
The world and the Middle East are the real winners.
Both nations will see tremendous love, peace, and prosperity in their futures.
They have so much to gain and yet so much to lose if they stray from the road of righteousness and truth.
Interesting.
The future for Israel and Iran is unlimited and filled with great promise.
God bless you both.
So that brings us to these comments here where Donald Trump was asked because the ceasefire was broken.
I mean, at least for a time, I understand it's on now and they've put the bombs down.
But it didn't quite go.
It almost kind of spiraled out of control.
It almost kind of spiraled into, okay, well, Israel is not abiding by the ceasefire or Iran is not abiding by the ceasefire, right?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Well, listen to Trump's response here as he gets ready for his trip to NATO.
You've got a romantic movement.
Yeah, do.
They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel.
You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.
So I'm not happy with them.
Okay, we're going to play that again.
But before we do, I'm going to remind the audience, we try to keep it clean here.
We try to keep the profanity to a minimum in case children are watching.
And it's just, I just call it the southern guy in me.
That's what we try to do.
However, when the president of the United States drops an F-bomb, you know, those are types of things that we kind of have to listen to.
It's a news show.
So viewer discretion is advised.
But listen to what he said.
Yeah, I do.
They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel.
You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out and the first hour just drop everything you have on them.
I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with the run either.
But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land.
I'm not happy about that.
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Do you understand that?
And he walks off.
Some people have commented, look, this is the most angry that they have ever Seen President Donald Trump that there was a total breakdown in trust when the ceasefire was commenced versus how it did not go the way Donald Trump was told it would go.
And so in response to that, earlier this morning, Steve Bannon, he kind of editorializes this a little bit and talks about how ridiculous this whole situation was and how the ceasefire almost didn't happen.
You have the gall, particularly of what this guy did for you and the grief he's taken over here.
You had the gall when he said, this is what I've done, and I need you to be a partner.
I need you to stand down.
First, I can't stop at all, which is another lie of the many lies we've gotten from the Netanyahu government.
A bald-faced lie.
But then he says, okay, I need you to stand down.
I can't have any scale.
If you can't get some guys back, it's fine.
Goes to bed, gets a couple hours of sleep, wakes up, and you lied to him.
That's why he's furious.
That's as mad as I've ever seen the President of the United States.
And think about it.
How did you get his anger like that given everything he's done for you and the pressure he's under and a couple hours of sleep?
Now he's got in a freaking plane and fly for what, six, eight hours to sit down with this crowd at NATO, which you know he's just wildly enthusiastic about doing that.
And plus putting himself going in the air at a time when you're in a shooting conflict in the world, putting his life at risk to do that.
And this is what he gets?
This is the thanks he gets.
So don't sit there and don't glaze him.
Netanyahu goes on Israeli TV and glazes him.
Don't glaze him.
Don't slobber all over him.
It doesn't mean anything.
You showed what you really thought of him last night.
Oh, President Trump's the greatest.
You showed exactly your appreciation last night.
You showed exactly, and do I see any of the Baghdad Bob equivalents, the Tel Aviv Levins or any of this crowd today, calling him out?
They never call that Netanyahu.
Talking about, I guess Tel Aviv Levin is Bannon's name, nickname for Mark Levin.
You know, I go back to that Marjorie Taylor Green interview with Matt Gates.
And in that interview, Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the reason Israel started the war and attacked Iran was because Netanyahu is facing potential electoral defeat, that he only survived, I think, some kind of, I don't know the exact procedural term over there, but basically kind of a vote of no confidence.
He survived that by two votes.
And if he would have lost that, then they would have had to have elections.
So there's a lot of people, and there really are interesting parallels between Netanyahu's political future and Volodymyr Zelensky's political future in Ukraine.
In both of those cases, you know, there are strong arguments to be made that if the war actually ends in both places, that the political leaders, you know, Zelensky for sure, he's not going to be in power again, right?
Because they're going to have to hold elections and the Ukrainian people are tired of being sent into the meat grinder and they would most surely, in a fair election, they would not vote for Zelensky.
But there are a lot, I mean, we never really hear in our media about the political fortunes, I guess the political divide in Israel.
I mean, they have different political factions over there as well, and Netanyahu has people that do not support him in his country.
So there could be a lot of that.
The idea that the war ends, you actually may see a new prime minister in Israel very shortly.
There's something to think about there.
Here's President Trump aboard Air Force One talking about more on this peace deal.
Do you want to see regime change in Iran?
If there was, there was.
But no, I don't want it.
I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible.
Regime change takes chaos.
And ideally, we don't want to see so much chaos, so we'll see how it does.
You know, the Iranians are very good traders, very good business people.
And they got a lot of wealth.
They should be able to rebuild and do a good job.
They're never going to have nuclear, but other than that, they should do a great job.
So, I mean, this is incredible.
This is the same.
Okay, so now we have the same talking points from Trump that we had a little over a month ago in Saudi Arabia.
So in that speech, obviously we've covered how he criticized neocon foreign policy, the hubris, the pride of thinking that these Muslim civilizations are technically a step down and we thought we could build democracy and build their countries and ignore their culture and everything else.
It was an incredible speech, but part of what he talked about in that speech in Saudi Arabia, and then I think also in Qatar, but I can't remember that specifically, but he talked about Iran and he talked about how he wants peace with Iran and he talked about economic prosperity.
So he is now back on message with the idea that we can make economic deals and actually have peace.
And we'll see if it lasts.
Again, if anything happens in terms of a terrorist attack here in America domestically, you're going to see the military-industrial complex, the Intel Oligarch complex controlled media.
They're going to immediately blame Iran for it.
That much I know.
Steve Day says, this is a big win.
Trump managed to satisfy both wings of his warring base on this issue.
And then Jack Misobic asks, has anyone done a wellness check on Mark Levin or Lindsey Graham?
Tulsi Gabbert, who was in the situation room when the U.S. bombed Iran.
Only President Trump could have achieved this historic ceasefire agreement that brings us closer to peace.
It was a Herculean effort that deserves the thanks of all the people of Israel, Iran, Middle East, America, the entire world.
Congratulations and thank you to President Donald Trump.
So there is still an ongoing effort, by the way, and the Conservative Treehouse had a great post on this.
An ongoing effort to separate Tulsi Gabbard from.
Here's my question.
If Tulsi Gabbard wasn't the DNI, would this particular deal have happened?
Or would it have escalated?
I mean, we'll never truly know, but I can think of a lot worse people to be the director of national intelligence than Tulsi Gabbard.
That much is true.
And then here is, this is Lindsey Graham's post.
So this was yesterday as Iran theatrically responds by attacking one of our bases in Qatar that didn't do anything, did a little damage, but didn't actually kill any U.S. soldiers, thank the Lord.
So in response to those attacks, Lindsey Graham was getting pretty excited yesterday.
Mr. President, he says it's time to end this madness in Iran.
May God bless you and all those who serve under you.
So end the madness.
Mark Lynch, 30 years.
This is the primary challenger to Lindsey Graham in South Carolina.
He says 30 years of Lindsey Graham and his close pals, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, gave us the Iran problem.
Donald Trump is cleaning it up.
Jack Pesobic, Lindsey Graham just said that the Sunnis, Shia, Jews, and Christians will all be working together in the new Iran after the regime is overthrown.
So this is in response to basically the Jerusalem Post had an editorial last week talking about partitioning Iran, that we did want regime change and we were going to partition Iran just like we did Iraq.
So, you know, while Trump is and Witcoff are negotiating this ceasefire deal, Lindsey Graham was on the Senate floor trying to conjure up images in the American mind of Hitler in World War II as to why we must do something about Iran.
It's about a religious agenda.
Why do they do what they do?
Religious, fanatical beliefs, a master religion for the world.
And if you don't believe that, you have missed a lot.
That's what they want.
And the only way they're not going to get there is for somebody to stop them.
What did Hitler want?
To take over the entire world and create a master race.
Anybody that didn't fit his definition of the right kind of person was imprisoned or killed.
The Eito and his henchmen have that same view, but it's religiously driven.
It's about a religious agenda.
Why do they do what they do?
Lindsey Graham, man, never met a war he doesn't want American soldiers to go fight and die in.
You know, there really is a strong argument.
The fact that Lindsey Graham has never been married, doesn't have any kids that we know about.
It really is so insane to think about people making decisions where they're going to send other people's children when they themselves don't even have children to go die in a war somewhere.
And again, this is the guy who supports all the funding to Ukraine as well, where a million people have died.
And those are people's children.
Those are people's young kids, 18, 19, 20-year-old kids have been slaughtered in Iran.
I'm sorry, in Ukraine, thanks to people like Lindsey Graham who don't care.
They don't care.
They couldn't care less about the death of Ukrainian, in many cases, Christians.
So yesterday, Steve Bannon said this, and Mark Levin is taking issue with it.
Listen.
You heard that hysterical, and we didn't make a comment.
We let it all play out.
And understanding that President Trump was working on this right there with the Israelis in the Persians.
Well, he's working on it.
He comes in there just like Ukraine.
He's over there stirring it up in Ukraine.
What did Trump tell him in Pompeo?
Oh, shut up.
You better watch what you say.
That was his quote in truth.
Lindsey Graham.
Now you see the pressure on Trump.
Particularly the MAGA folks.
Now you see the pressure on Trump.
He's getting it from every direction.
He's getting these guys 24-7 and Murdoch and all of them.
And the donors and the corporatists and Wall Street, all of them.
Tucker Carlson admitted in his podcast last night that he aired that the Murdochs offered to finance his campaign for president.
They wanted Tucker Carlson to run for president.
And the only reason you would do that is because you were trying to sabotage and divide the base and sabotage Trump, by the way.
All of Fox, Murdoch on him nonstop.
You see, he's sitting there negotiating a peace deal.
It's like a cockpit over there.
These people hate each other.
Hell, they've been taking out people in Haifa, in Tel Aviv, hitting them with ballistic missiles.
The Israelis have air supremacy.
They've been bombing Tehran.
They're people dead.
A lot of people dead.
A lot more people wounded.
And he's working on a deal to get a ceasefire for the 12-day war.
He's trying to do that, bringing his judgment and his wisdom and also the ability to do another Midnight Hammer, right?
And what are they doing?
They're going to the floor of the Senate.
President Trump, I just hope you understand the great unmasking.
Now you know exactly where you're sitting there trying to negotiate a deal, trying to negotiate a deal.
See what he's doing.
See what that little jackal's doing.
Just like you're trying to get something done in Ukraine and he's stirring it up.
He's stirring it up.
And look at Levin calling you out on Twitter.
Well, you're trying to do it because they knew you were working on something.
They knew that you were trying to get the guns laid down.
So Mark Levin, in response to That.
Says Steve Bannon is a disgusting fraud.
Nobody gives an excrement, we'll say, about what you, Bannon, a confessed and convicted fraudster, has to say.
You're a liar.
You cheated how many people?
At bottom, you're a certified disgusting fraud.
And it shows every time you open your big mouth.
You opposed our great military commander-in-chief at the time when they acted to destroy Iran's nukes.
80% of Americans backed the operation.
You can just hear his shrieking voice.
You know what that sound is, Highness?
Those are the shrieking Levins.
They always get louder right before they strike.
So, Mark Levin, crashing out there on Steve Bannon.
So then Bannon reacts to this on social media.
And, well, he says this.
Boy, Tel Aviv Levin.
Tel Aviv Levin is very, he's big mad.
Oh, he's big mad.
Big mad because he didn't, as a spokesperson, as a spokesman for a foreign nation, they didn't get what they want, President Trump.
And you saw why Bibi can't be trusted, Netanyahu can't be trusted.
Matt Gates responding to Mark Levin saying, Mark Levin isn't fit to watch Bannon's prison slippers.
Remember, Bannon goes to jail for this bogus contempt J6 committee.
Remember that, right?
Like, he went to jail because he refused to participate in that farce that was meant to essentially end populism and, you know, try to essentially also end Trump.
And he refused to do it and went to jail because of it.
Donald Trump Jr. neocons are going from celebrating to suicide watch in record time over this ceasefire.
And so Levin just kind of keeps at it.
This morning, he says, Iran declares it will reconstitute its nuclear program.
The Persians are coming.
This is exactly what I was talking about on radio last evening and posted about it as well.
Serious questions about a ceasefire, any deal with a genocidal terrorist regime with a jihadist Islamist ideology.
They're very important issues that raise real concerns.
To politely acknowledge them is not to attack the president, but to try to focus attention on the big problems.
Celebration is premature.
Quit celebrating with the end of this war.
Stop it.
This was him 17 hours ago.
The enemy whose military has been defeated by the Israelis and whose nuclear program has been destroyed by our president and military survives, at least for now.
We shall see how things unfold now.
And then this morning, he links to the JewishInsider.com headline, Trump Slams Israel for responding to Iranian ceasefire violation.
And Mark Levin says, and there's this, lots to digest this morning.
Do we have Levin from radio?
I think we do.
Yeah, here it is.
This was Mark Levin on his radio program last night.
The truth, too.
So we have a ceasefire.
I hate this word ceasefire.
I really do.
The president hated it a few days ago, too.
I hate this word ceasefire.
What's needed now is this, in my humble opinion.
I hate this word ceasefire.
Iran should be forced to sign a surrender document.
Unconditional surrender.
They lost their nukes.
They've lost their air force.
They have no ground-to-air protection.
China didn't step in.
Russia didn't step in.
Not a single Arab country stepped in.
The Supreme Nazi is hiding in a bunker, much like Adolf Hitler did.
So he hates the word ceasefire.
You really can't tell.
This was not really ever about nuclear weapons.
This was always about regime change.
Matt Wall says, Mark, a peaceful and quick resolution would not be disastrous by any coherent definition of the term.
This was in response to Levin saying the Iranian Nazi regime is desperately trying to hold on to power with no effective options.
So it's like you can tell that Levin is furious that Trump, you know, he thinks Iran has their back against, you know, that their back is totally up against the wall.
And he's like, there's no reason why.
He says, will the regime be provided an off-ramp without surrendering unconditionally?
So this is what Bannon is talking about.
Bannon is talking about that while Witcoff and Trump are negotiating this peace deal, Mark Levin was essentially counter-signaling the Trump administration, hoping that everything would fail.
Folks, I want to tell you about Red Vive health before we go any further.
You've heard me talk about it a lot, and I'm going to continue talking about it because the healing power of light is real, and it's scientifically proven.
These Red Vive devices emit red and near-infrared light.
It's designed to reduce muscle and joint inflammation and pain.
It stimulates cellular energy, which I can tell you it does.
It speeds up recovery.
Any gym rats out there, this will be great to speed up recovery.
It boosts skin collagen, strengthens your body, and boosts your mood.
Red and near-infrared light are two wavelengths that are naturally emitted by the sun.
In targeted doses, these waves have a healing effect on the body.
The red light is absorbed by your skin, leading to enhanced skin health, collagen production, and anti-aging.
Near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the body, reaching your bones, muscles, tissues, and even organs.
You can look better, you can feel better, and you can experience the scientifically proven anti-aging benefits and improve skin health.
You can reduce wrinkles, color patches, hyperpigmentation, and skin discoloration.
Research has shown it can even enhance the production of collagen for skin rejuvenation.
Unlock your body's true potential with photobiomodulation.
We're going to be talking with Dr. Raul Desai on Friday more about these incredible machines and what they can do for you and your life.
This is truly technology that big pharma doesn't want you to know about.
They'd rather you get on their hamster wheel of drugs.
The medical industrial complex doesn't like it, especially in the orthopedic realm, because this can prevent surgery.
This can take you out of the pipeline of going, you know, to an orthopedic surgeon and eventually getting surgery or pain meds as well.
So light your path to wellness with Red Vive Health.
I want you to go to Red Vive, V-I-V-E, redvivehealth.org slash Paul, or call 866-726-8483.
That's 866-726-8483.
If you call that number, make sure you mention my name, Paul, and you will get a discount, 15% off these clinical strength red light panels that you need in your home today.
Or you can go to redvivehealth.org slash Paul, and you'll get the discount at that link.
Do it now.
Trust me, folks, you will not regret this.
This is incredible technology.
I use it every day, and the benefits really just never, I mean, it's just, I'm constantly finding out, as is my family that's using, I'm just constantly finding out the new benefits of this machine.
I mean, everything from hair growth, I talked about what it did, you know, to my feet.
It's just insane.
So check it out.
You don't want to miss this deal.
All right, where are we?
Let's see here.
Yeah, next up.
Yeah, Tucker Carlson.
So it's kind of back onto this Mark Levin crash out here.
Tucker Carlson posting his latest podcast and says, thank God Trump brokered a ceasefire.
That's the last thing Mark Levin wanted.
As evidence.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
It is the last thing.
Jack Pasobic hammers Mark Levin and says, one of the most repugnant moments of this week was when never Trumper Mark Levin attempted to redefine MAGA.
Oh, and he's still trying to redefine it.
He's still trying to redefine it.
That MAGA is about foreign wars.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty good.
And again, Tucker Carlson writing simply, thank God, which is exactly what all of us should be doing.
And we need to pray that the ceasefire holds.
We need to pray the ceasefire holds.
Stephen Crowder.
This was, I think, yesterday before the ceasefire was announced.
Stephen Crowder is calling for Israel to disclose, from here on out, they need to disclose how many nuclear weapons they have and open themselves up for inspection.
How about this?
How about we now use this as leverage?
Let me tell you my problem with Israel here.
We now inspect your weapons.
Yes.
We now know whether you guys have nukes and how many.
And here's the thing.
This big boogeyman has been taken.
And I'm not saying that it was ill-founded.
But if Israel finds another one, if Israel finds another threat outside of Iran and this axis of evil to say that they need our intervention, at any point in the next 10 years, it's no.
Our policy is you are on your own.
And our policy should be, if we don't get to see how many nukes you have, if you don't sign to this treaty, you are no longer our friend.
It's a big deal.
There's a lot of people, just like what Bannon said earlier, about how there's really tough questions that need to be asked all around.
This was interesting, too.
Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has remained in contact.
Derek Evans reporting this was a CNN report.
This was in the wake of when missiles yesterday were fired from Iran toward our U.S. base.
Donald Trump's Mideast envoy Steve Witcoff has remained in contact with Iranians since those U.S. weekend strikes.
This was kind of like the first trickle that you could see that there was something going on.
Like if you look at the Levin tweet counter signaling Donald Trump, you could tell something was going on, that there was some sort of peace deal trying to go.
And then you had this report about Witkoff on CNN and you thought, okay, what exactly is happening here?
About this moment in this conflict?
I think it really speaks to the fact that both Tehran, but also the Trump administration and the president himself are looking for off-ramps.
And the fact that their channels open direct or indirect lines over multiple parties, from the Omanis to the Qataris, to the Turks, there are many countries trying to find ways to bridge the divide.
That's very important.
So they're all looking for an off-ramp.
You know, I haven't really heard anyone say this, you know, except Colonel Douglas McGregor.
And again, I think Colonel Douglas McGregor is rarely wrong.
But he said that a third of Tel Aviv had been damaged in the response.
So, you know, Israel bombs Iran, Iran bombs Israel, and that Tel Aviv has really been struck here.
There's been significant damage throughout the city.
And so, you know, if you look at it from the idea that Donald Trump, okay, yeah, we took out their nuclear program, whatever.
We attacked, okay, and then signaled, okay, we're not bringing in ground troops.
We're not going to play this game.
We did what we did.
Nuclear weapons off the table.
We're taking that talking point off.
And so, Israel, here you go.
I mean, you're on your own.
Keep fighting it out or come to the table and negotiate peace.
And so you kind of get the feeling that, you know, and I don't know what an average Israeli might feel about Benjamin Netanyahu at this point.
And honestly, this may be why his political career is in jeopardy.
His political future is in jeopardy as remaining prime minister.
But it looks like to me, I mean, at a bare minimum, Israel bid off.
I could see how an average Israeli would say this, that Israel bid off way more than they could chew to where, you know, Israel attacks and then Tel Aviv is destroyed.
There are people in the political apparatus, obviously, that wanted regime change.
They wanted this seven country, you know, getting rid of seven countries in the Middle East, this planned thing that's been talked about since the 90s.
But then it doesn't happen.
And instead, now you're left with a third of your city.
Tel Aviv is in ruins or damaged in a significant way.
You didn't get the regime change you want.
You didn't get U.S. boots on the ground that you wanted.
And so what was the last 12 days?
What was the last 12 days?
If anything, it was just a detour, assuming the ceasefire holds, it was a detour to getting some sort of peace agreement.
And I guess they would say, well, we got the nuclear program knocked out.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
You know, to take it at face value, okay.
I'm not so sure.
I don't really know.
You know, when you telegraph, hey, we're going to bomb this exact spot and everything's cleared out and we still don't really know where the enriched uranium is, according to some reports.
But I digress.
We may never know.
As I was talking with Rob Spencer, I guess this would have been yesterday on my afternoon program.
I mean, we really may never actually know.
Hey, folks, this portion of the program brought to you by Curable Premium Health and their great CBD products.
We'll tell you more about them here in just a moment.
We've got some more news to get to.
Mike Benz, you can say a lot of things about this movie, but you can't say it's boring.
This is true.
And I like how he references the term movie here because Mike Benz, again, we told you yesterday, you know, he's the guy that put out the video exposing how this entire plot was predicted in the movie Top Gun Maverick.
Just how spooky that is.
The programming is real.
The programming is real.
Difference is, though, I mean, it didn't really end in, well, I don't know.
Maybe it did end in peace.
Who knows?
If the credits didn't roll when they did, maybe the country comes to the negotiating table.
I don't know.
But, you know, this is an opportunity to really refocus.
Okay?
Let's refocus now on, I mean, I have Middle East fatigue.
I don't know about you guys.
I have Middle East fatigue right now.
Let's pray that the ceasefire holds and that people don't use any excuse to get right back to where we are.
Trump administration accuses Judge of unprecedented defiance of Supreme Court and immigration dispute.
The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to clarify a decision Monday that paved the way for the government to quickly deport criminal immigrants, illegals, to third world countries.
At issue here, there's a group of people that they're trying to deport.
Trump administration has them in custody in Digibudi, the nation of Digibudi.
That's not a name you hear every day.
Let's see here.
NBC News, a fight over the fate of six immigrants.
The Trump administration wants to deport to South Sudan.
Flared up again on Tuesdays.
The Justice Department accused a federal judge of unprecedented defiance of a Supreme Court decision the previous day.
So you have the Supreme Court saying, yes, Trump can deport these people.
And a judge who has prevented the deportation of these South Sudan or these immigrants, illegals, to South Sudan is saying he's still going to prevent them from being deported.
And they're not even in the country right now, by the way.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed a motion at the Supreme Court seeking clarification of the Monday evening decision that lifted nationwide restrictions on the administration's ability to send convicted criminals to third countries they have no connection to.
The move from the Trump administration comes as the government itself has been accused of violating court orders, including by the judge handling the deportation case.
Massachusetts-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who has come under heavy fire from MAGAWORLRD, NBC, who says, independently, after the Supreme Court action, Murphy said in a docket entry that he did not believe the justices blocked his May 21st order that prevented the six people from being sent to South Sudan.
The detainees are currently being held in a U.S. facility in Dijibudi.
Murphy's understanding was that the high court had blocked only his earlier ruling that set nationwide rules, giving those affected a meaningful opportunity to bring claims that they would be at risk of torture, persecution, or death if they were sent to countries the administration has made deals with to receive deported immigrants.
So there's a big showdown over this right now.
Stephen Miller is certainly fired up about all of this as he should be.
100% as he should be.
Let's see what we have here.
Do we have anything else?
I'm just going to check this timeline real quick and see if we've got anything that's breaking while we've been on the air.
Let's see.
We've got Tucker and Laura Loomer still going back and forth at it.
Mark Levin chiming in again.
Steve Bannon and his billionaire Chinese buddy, The Fraud in the Fraud Room.
Pardoned by President Trump.
Pardon me, Bannon.
So that's his new nickname for Bannon now.
So this is, so you've got Bannon calling Bannon calling Mark Levin Tel Aviv Levin.
And now we've got Mark Levin calling Bannon pardon me, Bannon.
Oh, wow.
You can't make this stuff up.
It's crazy.
And then we have this.
Apparently, so Joshua Hames from the Reformation Red Pill podcast apparently was sitting at the doctor's office and noticed that they had Nickelodeon playing on the TV.
He says, apparently Nickelodeon is super gay.
Parents, be aware, Nickelodeon is trying to normalize the alphabet cult for your kids.
If every Christian in America spoke out against this nonsense and boycotted any kids' shows that pushed the LGBT agenda, this kind of thing would go away basically overnight.
So let me see if I can pipe this in here.
It's kind of soft.
I have to boost the audio here.
So I'm here in the doctor's office just watching Nickelodeon.
And parents, just figure aware.
They are very clearly putting all kind of gay stuff up in Nickelodeon kids' shows now.
Look at this.
It looks pretty gay to me.
They can't hear.
Yeah, I mean, it's actually worth it.
I mean, yeah, you can't.
The TV in the doctor's office here is on mute.
But, I mean, you're just watching this.
Yeah, that looks extremely gay.
Just watching Nickelodeon.
And parents, just so you're aware.
They are very clearly putting all kind of gay stuff up in Nickelodeon kids' shows now.
look at this dude this is Ugh.
Stop.
I know you can't hear them talk, but...
What's up with the superhero?
Do you guys remember the old SNL cartoon, the ambiguously gay duo?
This straight up looks like they've made...
This guy looks like one of the characters from the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
Yeah, it's incredible.
Yeah, so parents, be aware.
Trust me.
It's super gay.
Yeah, this is...
Kids stuff.
This is in a kid's show.
This is unacceptable.
Yeah, just be wary.
I know a lot of people are where, you know, for a long time there, you know, you still have to be really careful of YouTube and kids' shows and some of these really sickos that they're going to put really vile commercials in between, or even they splice them into the actual video, and all of a sudden you're seeing some very, very weird stuff.
You got to be very, very vigilant, very careful what you let your kids consume, especially when it comes to the frequency of light that's emitted out of these devices or anything like that.
You really need to be aware, really need to stay vigilant on all of that.
Folks, I want to tell you about curable premium health.
A lot of you may not know about CBD, and that's fine.
There is a misnomer out there from some people that CBD can actually get you high.
It doesn't.
It's not the same.
It doesn't have THC in it.
And so it's hemp.
And at Curable, they are monitoring the entire process.
They're not just getting CBD from a third party.
They literally, this company grows it themselves, extracts it themselves, and monitors the whole thing.
And so they take great pride and great care in what they do.
So if you don't know about the benefits of CBD, what it can do for your pain, from the natural way, what it can do also from a standpoint of, you know, externally and internally, because they have tinctures, they have sleep gummies, they have things you can ingest.
And the CBD, because you have a cannabinoid system of receptors, it goes where it's needed.
It's pretty incredible stuff.
The muscle cream is a huge plus for me, especially if you do any kind of physical activity or if you play sports like tennis or something like that.
The muscle cream is like totally, me and the muscle cream have a very good relationship.
Let me just put it that way because without it, I don't get the relief from the tennis elbow and that sort of thing.
So I want you to consider it.
I want you to consider CBD if you've never tried it.
And if you do buy CBD already, then you already know.
I want you to switch.
If you already are on the CBD bandwagon, I want you to switch to Curable because it's potent and at the price with the amount of milligrams you get in these doses, you need to check it out.
It's curable.com, K-U-R-I-B-L.com.

I think this is a good one.
I think this is appropriate.
Matt Walsh.
Matt Walsh, about this entire situation, this entire situation that we've been dragged through in the last 12 days.
He says, you don't have to agree with those of us who are non-interventionalist, but our position is obviously rational and, for many of us, perfectly consistent with what we've always said on the subject.
It's also perfectly consistent with the America First Mantra by definition.
Some commenters on this site, along with an army of random anonymous accounts, suddenly this week decided that not only is non-interventionism wrong, it's also insane, delusional, and anti-Semitic.
And those of us who hold this view are traitors who should never be trusted again by remaining intellectually, never trusted again, period.
By remaining intellectually consistent and staying true to our own principles, we have somehow exposed ourselves as frauds, they say.
The funny thing is that this kind of hysterical gaslighting is only happening here on this site.
The comments on other platforms like YouTube are very different.
And in my personal life, every single person I've spoken to either agrees to some extent with the non-interventionalist view or at least understands why someone would hold that position.
Nobody in real life is shrieking traitor at people who have decided after 40 years of failed government or excuse me, failed U.S. interventions that the U.S. should stop intervening.
X has been in a very weird bubble this past week or so, even more than usual.
Interesting questions being raised by Matt Wallace.
That's all the time that we have for this edition of The Millstone Report.
I really appreciate you guys being with us.
As always, I want you to follow me on X if you can.
I would really appreciate it at RealPaul Harrell.
Also, make sure that you follow X America News as well.
And if you're interested at all in supporting me directly, you can always go to PaulTalkShow.substack.com.
And that's a place where you can subscribe monthly or yearly.
And if you do, we'll throw in a free copy of my game, Left Wing Will and the Red Pill, the game that laughs at the left's expense.
Again, that website, PaulTalkShow.substack.com.
I'll see you later in the afternoon, 4 o'clock Central for the Paul Herald program with my co-host Rob Spencer.
We'll be talking about this and local Arkansas stuff as well because that's where I'm from.
