So, these next few years will be a golden age for American sports, just like it's a golden age for America. 
You know, we hit an all-time high stock market today, despite that we're in a little skirmish, military. 
I call it a skirmish because Iran has no chance. 
They never did. 
They know it. 
They express it to me when I talk to them. 
Then they get on television, they say how well they're doing. 
They've fired at US ships several times in the last 5 or hours. 
What do they need to do to violate the ceasefire? 
Well, you'll find out because I'll let you know. 
They know what to do, and they know what to do. 
We They know what not to do, more importantly, actually. 
And so what happens is that we have uh situation where we have total control. 
As you know, the blockade's been amazing. 
It's like a piece of steel. 
Nobody's going to challenge a blockade. 
And uh I think it's working out very well. 
We're going to see. 
I can say this, Iran wants to make a deal. 
What I don't like about Iran is they'll talk to me with such great respect, and then they'll go on television, they'll say, "We did not speak to the president. 
We did not" I just spoke to them. 
"We did not speak to the president." So, they play games. 
But let me just tell you, they want to make a deal. 
And who wouldn't when your military is totally gone? 
We could do anything we want to them. 
Who wouldn't? 
What can they offer us, Mr. President?
