A news photograph taken in a formal government reception hall with ornate gold and cream columns, decorated with a large Chinese-style landscape painting on the wall. A group of business executives and officials sit at a long dark wood conference table set with name placards, teacups, and water bottles, while others stand behind them in suits. A man resembling Donald Trump sits at the center of the table wearing a navy suit and red tie, looking to the side. To his left sits another man in a navy suit with an orange/gold tie. A man resembling Elon Musk stands in the row behind, along with a man resembling Tim Cook. Another man in the standing row holds a microphone. In the foreground, out-of-focus pink and white flowers are visible, suggesting the photo was taken over a floral centerpiece.

A scan of a single-page typed document with black serif text on a white background, titled "White House Accord on Super Intelligence" with the subtitle "Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities". It is a plain text statement with no logos, signatures, or letterhead visible. It says companies training frontier AI models should adopt four layers of controls and audits: internal controls, an internal team, an independent external auditor, and an independent board committee. It closes by saying the steps may be codified into laws or regulations.

Text in image: White House Accord on Super Intelligence Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public. This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe each company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits: (1) Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways. (2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated. (3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended. (4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated. Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended. The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems. Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone, and each of our companies are committed to doing this.

Today we come to the heartland of America to pay tribute to a man who embodied the heart and soul and fight and spirit of our country as much as anyone who ever lived. TR had transformed his country by the reach of his vision and by the force of his will into one of the greatest empires ready to take its rightful place as the strongest and most respected nation anywhere in the world. The life of Theodore Roosevelt reminds us that Americans never give up. We don't give up. He never stopped, never quit, never surrendered. Theodore Roosevelt reminds us all that to be a great nation and to be a free nation we must have courage. Without courage you have nothing. He refused to accept failure, mediocrity, corruption, decay, or decline and neither should we. As America turns 250 years old we look at this remarkable man and we recall that with effort, determination, and drive there is nothing that Americans of competence cannot do.

Okay, MAGA GOP on Trump, in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it'd be 100%, but it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It's 98%. That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support. These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm elections. Again, that's the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. Look now, in terms of the congressional vote, 98% of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates. So that support is actually really holding up strong. It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and Republicans holding on to that vote.

I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite. They're going to raise your taxes. If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket. And economic success for our country like we have never ever seen before.

A composite/digitally rendered image showing a UFC mixed martial arts fight held on the South Lawn of the White House at night. An octagonal fighting cage sits in front of the White House, with two shirtless fighters (one in green shorts, one in black shorts) sparring inside while a referee looks on. Large crowds fill bleacher-style seating on both sides and in front of the cage. Two jumbotron screens on either side display the live fight feed with "UFC" and "Monster" branding. A military brass/marching band in formation stands on the White House steps between the crowd and the building, with red-white-blue bunting draped along the staircase. Flags are visible: an American flag atop the White House and another American flag on a pole to the right, plus a dark flag on the left reading "UFC FREEDOM 250" with the UFC logo. A sign at the base of the stage reads "UFC FREEDOM 250." The cage's outer apron has alternating panels reading "UFC" and a White House silhouette graphic. Some spectators in the crowd wave small American flags.

Let's bring in two experts, former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Victoria Coates, and Brent Sadler, a graduate of the Naval Academy and an expert on naval warfare. Welcome to you both. Victoria, we'll start with you. The strait will be opening for shipping. The blockade is lifted. What is known about other parts of the agreement, in particular sanctioned relief and unfreezing assets? Well, Trey, great to see you, and good to see you too, Brent. What we know about the deal is that it's performance-based. And this is what differentiates it from the JCPOA, the Obama-era nuclear deal, in which they got all of the goodies up front, the sanctions relief, the pallets of cash. Instead, what we're going to do is see if they actually do what they're supposed to do. We're going to open up the strait. That's very important. And then we're going to start these negotiations on the nuclear deal, which aren't just to limit where they can enrich to, but rather to dismantle that program, to get the highly enriched uranium out. If that all takes place, then great. Yes, we can talk about future incentives for them, but they have to take those steps first. So that's the critical thing here. And I would say this is opening the door to a new Middle East. This is a Middle East under President Trump's leadership, where we can have our Gulf allies with Israel come together for a more prosperous, secure region. That wasn't possible four months ago. Now it is. And so for all the naysayers, all the deniers, let's see what's actually in the deal. Let's go forward and get to a more positive outcome. All right, Brent. A Senate like me, for instance, might argue that this kind of takes us back to the status quo ante, where we were before the recent hostilities. Is there more? Am I missing something? Because before the most recent hostilities, their nuclear program was degraded or obliterated to use the administration's word. The straight was open and there was no blockade. So how is this different? Well, I can understand the cynicism about the Middle East. There's certainly lots of reasons for that. The region has changed fundamentally. And I think what we're seeing now is the beginning of a page of a new era in the Middle East. I mean, it's not going to be smooth, of course, but it's not the same. Of course, Iran is alienated and actually agitated to actually force of arms many of its neighbors and also rallied in unity with Israel, which was unheard of before, which probably means you're going to see an acceleration and a broadening benefits of things like the Abraham Accords. So the region is fundamentally different now than it was several months ago and to include even the economics to say nothing of the global energy markets that are now changed and it's not going to go back to the way it was before. All right, Victoria, Brent has turned me into something of an optimist with his answer as it relates to the broader region. However, the Iranian regime has been a theocratic despotic one for 47 years and thugs don't become good neighbors overnight. Is Iran content stringing things along and waiting for President Trump term to end, hoping for a different negotiating partner in the future or do you think that they really are desirous of fundamental change? Well, Trey, I will say I don't want to stomp on your sunny optimism, but I mean, yes, we're dealing with the Iranians and so this regime is bad. They're hostile. They're the death to America, death to Israel crowd. And what makes them the most upset actually is the fact of how effective the United States Israel partnership was during Operation Epic Fury. So for everyone who's trying to point to differences between the United States and Israel tonight, look at that. Look at how seamless that cooperation was and how good it can be going forward. But for what we're going to do with dealing with them going forward, what we have to do is continue to keep the economic pressure on them, and they also know that we can strike them at the time of our choice in the place of our choice. So this isn't going to happen out of the goodness of their hearts because they don't have hearts. So this is going to happen because they're scared about more of those those strikes that the president called in last week that can happen any time. And so that's how we keep the pressure on them. We make sure they make good on this nuclear deal because that's the basic line here. No nuclear weapons for Iran. All right, Brent, is there a material difference between giving Iran cash and giving Iran access to frozen assets and allowing it to make money from selling oil if they're going to use the money for nefarious purposes? I mean, does it matter where they get the money from? And what we call it? Well, there is a big difference between pallets of cash and an aircraft that shows up and then disappears into wherever nefarious purpose. Then financial flows that you can actually monitor and also control. So on its surface, there's that. But again, the devil's in the details. We'll see when the actual agreement is hopefully released on Friday after the next phase of this is reached. And we'll be able to look at a lot closer what we're talking about on finances. All right, we've got about 30 seconds, so I'm going to get you both to quickly answer this question, Victoria, you and then Brent. Any chance in the world Israel is upset and tries to do something to upend this agreement? Victoria, then you, Brent. I'd be shocked, I mean, Trey, rather. I think that Israel wants to get to peace in the region. Well, thank you for calling me now. That's the nicest thing anyone's called me. You go ahead, Brent. No, I agree with that. There's very little reason to expect anything like that. The U.S. and Israel are aligned very closely in national security and national interest.

President Donald J. Trump has built a strong economy and is revitalizing the American Dream. He will go down as the greatest housing president in history. America was built one home at a time, I believe that, because the American Dream was never just an idea, it was a front door, a set of keys, a place where families built their future. For generations, home ownership meant security, independence, and stability. But today, that dream feels out of reach for too many Americans. Not because they stopped working hard, but because the system stopped working for them. That's why protecting housing matters. Why institutions like Fannie Mae matter. Working with banks so lending doesn't stop, capital keeps moving, and people aren't locked out because their past wasn't perfect. When banks can say yes, families can move forward. The all new Fannie Mae, protector of the American Dream.
