The Last American Vagabond - Trump’s “Iran Deal” Is A Veiled Surrender and Retreat For The United States

Starting point is 00:00:00 It starts with a simple question and ends in objective reality. Through our journey from there to here, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Tell your own you push on you're going to have to stay in July. Welcome to the daily wrap up. 8th, 2026, thank you for joining me today.

Starting point is 00:00:44 Interesting follow up to this odd, sprawling, circular conversation of whatever Trump's been doing with Iran. And it's not really resolved. Now, we're going to get into this conversation today about where it currently stands. And for those that have not followed this, you know, like every single day,

Starting point is 00:01:03 if not every single 20 minutes, the narrative seems to change. Some of this may seem redundant. But I really want to stress today that it's important to understand the many different times this happens, not going to go too far into that because it's been like 50 plus times at this point, but to really see the nuance just from the 13th, the 14th, the 15th, and understand what has changed. And as of right now, that it's still unresolved for literally the exact same points that we were discussing in April.

Starting point is 00:01:31 the idea of the blockade and a discrepancy right now between CENTCOM and what Trump was originally saying and the memorandum of understanding and whether or not supposed to be immediately removed like Trump tweeted or truth socialed or whether or not it'll be removed on the 19th and whether bonding of Lebanon will stop and whether that's required right now underneath you know within this immediate ceasefire let alone for the signing of something on the 19th and whether Israel will be okay with that and they're not being very public about that so in the moment you you can see that there's not just discrepancies, not nuance, but direct conflict between the alleged allies against, you know, and then Iran standing there saying the same exact things they've been saying since April. And well, I guess just like I've been saying every day before this, on the 19th, we may get more information, maybe one groups and playing everybody the entire time. Maybe that's Iran. Maybe we'll find out Trump did everything. I don't think that's where this goes. And I think as you go through the information today, it'll become even more clear that what we've been thinking is pretty much what's been happening. And now we're at a point where Donald Trump is

Starting point is 00:02:32 trying to frame a loss as him getting everything he always told you he was going to get. Nobody thinks that. Not even his allies, not even people in his team who are supporting him are telling you that's what's happening. And you have this weird schism within his so-called team, the ones that are very much more on the Israel-America first side of that team, who are now, like Mark Levin, attacking Trump for making the thing, making the deal. He always said he was trying to make. Doesn't that show you what they were always trying to accomplish, as well as multiple people trying to suddenly undermine the possibility of it by saying, well, Congress has to approve that deal. Imagine saying that with all that's happening. And those people telling you it didn't

Starting point is 00:03:11 need Congress to start the war, but now we need Congress to end it. It's just perfect. It's always how this goes. And it's always the entirety of our government, not one side or the other. Now, there's a couple points we're going to get into to start. That's largely we're going to talk about. And the many different moving parts around that, the straight, the blockade. The blockade. the idea of the control of the strait, the toll, the money changing hands in many different ways, both the money given to them from unfrozen assets, Iran, as well as the alleged $300 billion for reconstruction, all of which is on the table right now, all of which was outright denied by Donald Trump, not even 48 hours ago. It's insane. It really is. It's schizophrenic,

Starting point is 00:03:49 if you want to put the best term for on it, I guess. But we're going to point to a couple quick points around Sean Strickland, not even in depth around the entire absurdity that that event was. And I like a UFC. It's not even about that. It's about the decorum aspect and the seemingly deliberate kind of downplaying or, and again, you know my opinion about government in general. It's not about like reverence for government. It's about the idea of this country. And even if I believe that that doesn't represent this country, it's perceived that way. And so what Donald Trump's administration is doing with that little UFC event that happened yesterday, even if they thought it was something that was pro-America, it diminished what we were, what we are

Starting point is 00:04:29 as the government, as the country, as the whatever the White House represented. It's just, and maybe that's a good thing. But at the end of the day, it wasn't something that should be seen as a positive thing for America, but we'll go over something that happened there with Sean Strickland that you might want to see about free speech. But the rest of it will pertain to Iran and the different moving parts and some discussions of Lebanon and Gaza and, you know, different tangential points you might want to see. But I wanted to start with one thing that I'm, you know, in a weird way, sort of conflicted about. But, you know, I don't support these platforms, any of them, really, to be quite frank at this point, like just anything, I just very, anyway, the bottom line is

Starting point is 00:05:05 Rumble is something that I'm pretty concerned about. I have been for a while because of the choke points that it has that are just like what YouTube has. I still don't even understand why the advertising mechanism behind it hasn't applied the same pressure, probably because this is bigger than advertising, but you can decide. My point is that I don't really support Rumble, you know, anymore that I support YouTube, right? And I'm skeptical.

Starting point is 00:05:26 But nonetheless, I wanted to point this out because this is, it's praiseworthy. The last time I reached, like three shows ago, I discussed the account that was pretending to be us. And again, one quick nod to, I think, the 29th of July, we're having a big panel on the IMA about impersonation and AI, which this is the same conversation.

Starting point is 00:05:44 So look forward to that. I'll be promoting it more as we get closer. But I told you about, I think it was something on my Rumble account, and I'll just show you right now since we're doing this, so you can see that it is, you know, what it actually looks like. Oh, here, you just do this. Oh, wait, that's the wrong one. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:06:10 And by the way, all this, this is nothing. I get peanuts from what they sent from Rumble, by the way, for case you not think you matter that you're seeing that. It's like $100 over the last year and a half. But anyway, the point was my account is the last American vagabond with no, you know, name or, anything on it. And then this one is, or was anyway, the last American vagabond with streams at the end. The other one was channel. Not that that matters, but just pay attention because there's people

Starting point is 00:06:40 out there desperately trying to pretend to be us to manipulate you. Now anyway, the point was, I reached out to Rumble and I said this account is pretending to be us. Not in some, you know, tangential way. It's not a free speech at you. They're directly trying to pretend to be us and trick people on our account in just signing up for random things, buying things, and usually some kind of weaponized telegram link that probably steals their identity. Usually shows me that we're over the mark and they're trying to manipulate people in our audience.

Starting point is 00:07:05 The point was I reached out to Rumble and I said, you know, this is happening, had really no intention, no feeling they were going to do anything about it. And very quickly they removed the channel. And so I said, that's interesting. And so I went through and I was going, I was going through my stuff today and looked at my show from the day before yesterday.

Starting point is 00:07:19 And there was another one. That's this one. The first one was TLAB channel. and the other ones T-Lev streams. And they both look exactly like my account pretending to be me. I reached out again today and sent Rumble another one and said, you know, this account is yet again a new one pretending to be me and trying to trick. Did the same thing.

Starting point is 00:07:34 Put a fake telegram link trying to trick people. And with, I mean, I was probably three hours later, they removed it. And I just want to point out that from Rumble's perspective or rather, you know, that's praiseworthy. I mean, these are people weaponizing the idea of, you know, basically trying to pretend to be other people to get them to think that we are manipulative or, rather than, you know, either just to drive people into the wrong information, any number of things. At the very least, that's a violation of this platform's terms of service.

Starting point is 00:08:00 And I just thought that was interesting that they would, you know, I don't know. I'm going to leave it there. My point was, I guess first it was I wouldn't have expected him to do that. Maybe because I feel like they don't support what we do. But it's not always all encompassing, right? Maybe there's people on the platform that are not necessarily on the side of what we think. But that doesn't mean everybody in there. Maybe this team saw it.

Starting point is 00:08:18 It was like, get rid of it. Either way, praiseworthy, good for them for doing something that quickly and get it. I mean, when's the last time we ever, I mean, YouTube, any of them for that matter? Even Odyssey, like that's something that is just interesting to see how quick it is. Obviously, they're a huge platform with lots of resources. Maybe that's why. I guess the point Morso leans toward that it was just honest engagement in this one small thing, even though I don't feel at the content level that it's, you know, they clearly have an agenda,

Starting point is 00:08:42 I think on the way that they collect things in the front page and what they lean into. Ask Steve, he'll tell you that himself. Nonetheless, I thought that was pretty praiseworthy. Now, another point to the, I wanted to highlight before we get started is the activation tour, rather the Nashville arm of Derek's activation tour, is going to be on July 24th. And it will be in the loft at Deanne Gallery in Franklin, Tennessee. And as of right now, we were just talking, so I don't want to say this unless something may shift, but he had asked if I wanted to host an MC. I would love to. If that works out, that'll be amazing.

Starting point is 00:09:17 If not, I'll be there either way, supporting the entire event and probably doing stuff within it some way or one way or another. and I just hope you guys can come out and check this out. More to just to support Derek's amazing work and his tour that he's put together, that's very important. If you don't understand what, you know, if you haven't linked to his work in general, this will be a good starting point for you to understand where he really is aiming. You know, we all have our different focal points. Derek, more than anything, I argue, is trying to get people to see alternative pathways

Starting point is 00:09:46 to what you all seem to be wanting to fight for. We all have different things we aim at, but we all seem to want generally you know, free speech, freedom of choice. Like all the, we just have different views of how that's supposed to go, I guess. I guess I'd see most people I argue. But my point is that this is about trying to open your mind to different pathways to things that you want to achieve. And I think it's powerful.

Starting point is 00:10:05 And I think either way, support local independent media. Come out and support us. We'll be there as T-Lad. He can support that. Come out and join us. It'll be fun. And it looks like I can see his, he'll be playing some music as well with his band. So looking forward to it.

Starting point is 00:10:19 He also shared it on Twitter. I just shared this out. So make sure you come join us, guys. it'll be a good time. Now, starting on this, the last show we did, Israel's election manipulation ignored. Just want to make sure you didn't dismiss that and black core and this very gigantic story

Starting point is 00:10:32 that was covered by Heretz and very little coverage in the United States, shockingly enough, shouldn't be being very facetious with that statement. It's obvious to see that Israel is doing this. And I pointed out in this show, how many times it's been happening over the years, the Guardian, Lamande, major, major, mainstream platforms over the years, breaking stories showing you

Starting point is 00:10:50 Israeli entities directly tied to intelligence. like boasting about manipulating presidential elections, about making massive AI fake accounts to manipulate different social media, you know, campaigns, for example. And one of them was about this massive thing where the person was highlighting that, like, I think it was, I don't want, I miss quote the number. It was a while ago, but many different of the points they were making were about U.S. elections, some of which they argued and they could be lying were presidential elections.

Starting point is 00:11:17 I don't think they were. And this was a new example. This was over the last couple of months. this came out, Black Core, not unlike the similar terminology of Black Cube and Black Rock and all these different examples that are tied for the same point, Black Cure is a very obviously connected Israeli entity that is manipulating elections and just got caught for it. And nobody seems to care about that in the midst of election manipulation conversations all over this country. Doesn't it speak for itself? It matters whether U.S. or not,

Starting point is 00:11:44 but it matters because of how obviously Israel's invested in manipulating and infiltrating this country. We also talked about the over one billion dollars to Pfizer from this administration, Trump and RFK Jr. for new COVID-19 shots. We talked about that. I just asked Jason to potentially make a clip. I usually let him pick what he wants to clip out of the show, but I pointed to that as one. So maybe that'll be coming out in the next couple of days. If you haven't seen it, it's in the show. I believe it's about an hour and 15 minutes in. We talk about the Jeffrey Tucker, is where I saw at first, a child COVID shot and a new adult COVID shot that are being funded by this administration to Pfizer, of all.

Starting point is 00:12:19 people. And we're going to pretend that this is maha or this, as always, guys, the real maha and the real MAGA are the people that are still out there who are recognizing they were played by this government and the apparatus around them. And that includes the false independent mainstream media that isn't the new media. They frame themselves. We also talked about Iran's Trump's Iran lies. Now, that was the 13. So effectively, we're going to be talking about that to today. Now much has really changed, to be honest, other than narrative, we'll get into it. Before we talk about that, a couple things we discussed in that show. One of them was the idea of the Tulsi Gabbard Biolab

Starting point is 00:12:53 thing that, I mean, almost seems very deliberately timed to come out and be like, the story we all talk about. And I love to see Sasha Alapova coming out and seeing it just the way I did. Absolute BS, she says, brought to you by Muppet Tulsi. Now, I don't know if I would look at it the way that, you know, I can't read this right now in regards to Tulsi first, before we get to the biolab. The idea that she's being pushed out, it feels like. That's what the data seems to lean, you know, what I see the facts pointing towards is she was sort of muscled out of the way. You got people like RFK Jr. who seems to now be stepping out of the way. That's still developing, but I think that's what's on the table. And many other people in this

Starting point is 00:13:30 administration. My question was, why would they have compromised their principles so dramatically and then leave? Or I guess then be pushed out would change that point. But either way, my point is now with her, I don't know how to read this, whether or not this feels more like her doing this to kind of put a stick in the spokes of the agenda on the way out. or because she wanted to try to appease Trump on the way out. So she reads it, I guess, as, you know, the latter helping him. But the way she says some of these things make me wonder whether this is inconvenient for Trump. You can decide for yourself.

Starting point is 00:14:00 Either way, as she says, the Ukrainian biolabs have been property of the U.S. DoD since 2005, which is exactly what I was showing in the last show. This goes well beyond Trump's first administration, but it goes right through it. And right to this very point. And so in this clip where Tulsi Gabbard talks about this, if you haven't seen it, we talk about it in the show I just pointed to, where she highlights labs that we need to find. Seriously, we're talking about the fact

Starting point is 00:14:24 that U.S. intelligence isn't able to locate its own labs, and she makes the point clearly that these are still operational and still functional with the U.S. involvement to this point, which very clearly implicates Trump's current administration, but obviously his last one. And so too with Biden, because it's not a partisan thing. You haven't watched this show yet. But realize how insane that is for them to go Biden's labs

Starting point is 00:14:47 when they very well, and I pointed to this during COVID-19 timeframes where Trump screamed about China and gain of function research and shutting down the Wuhan lab. At that moment, I said this forever and it still stands, there were multiple labs the U.S. were still contracting with doing the same research. So either Trump didn't know that or it was a big illusion, probably both. But her point was simply that this is an illusion or a ploy. And she says they were purchased from the USSR bankruptcy sale for $15 million. The agreement is literally on the Ukrainian, you know,

Starting point is 00:15:17 Ukrainian government's website. How much are we, the U.S. taxpayers, paying for this intelligence? It's the same thing I was saying as well. No, there is new stuff in this. I'll give them that. Hard to say what you can take at face value, if ever, but it's not, we didn't, we knew most of this story before they break this, sort of like the COVID origin discussion or, and even within that, recognize that story doesn't seem to be the entire picture, if not any of it. But it was the point that we were discussing it early. They shut us down, only to come back around and go, now we could talk about it. So her doing this feels like a massive effort to deviate from what's happening. But I just think it's important to see that other people see the bigger picture beyond partisanship.

Starting point is 00:15:57 Now, on the FISA point, just want to make sure you keep seeing this because I'm honestly blown away by this. This is from yesterday. Donald Trump posted this. I just, I got to point out how embarrassing it is that to say something like a few Democrats, guys, that's wildly juvenile. That's sophomoric. That's childish. I don't care who you are.

Starting point is 00:16:18 That's like in one time, maybe in the right context, we could laugh about it. And I'm the same point with whatever you want to make in the same context for Republic Dumblicans or whatever you want to do. They both apply for me. But to deferring to keep doing that and just to keep, you know, it's just, it's, I don't know. I don't know whether you think it's funny or he thinks just happening into something.

Starting point is 00:16:37 It's not even the lowest common denominator. If there's something lower than that, that's what he's aiming for or what he's at. Anyway, I just find it embarrassing. A few Democrats are against FISA. Well, that's not even true. It's clearly Republicans and Democrats, as Twitter continues to fact check on top of the fact that we can prove it. It says with or without Bill Pulte going against the DNI and act as acting.

Starting point is 00:16:58 What kind of deal is that? Besides, I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with the Save America Act. Whoa, okay, so you're just being really clear about that. So you only against FISA as a tool to get what you want, which by the way, is a backdoor digital ID manipulation. if you understand what the Save America Act is actually about. But FISA was about us and Americans, the constitutional rights, and you were against it because you said it was bad no matter what. Nobody should be allowed to use it.

Starting point is 00:17:23 But I want it, but I'm going to pretend I don't like it until I get what we want. So basically what he's doing is holding hostage something that all of the U.S. government wants, left and right, but willing to give it to them, including the next Democrat administration, as long as they give them the Save America Act, which, again, both sides actually want because it's about digital ID. here's your K-Fab theater constantly going on where they just keep throwing the back and forth and we're divided and we hate each other

Starting point is 00:17:47 and then let's both agree for the both things that we both want. Gotta love that. Not at all. And it goes firmly attached to it. Make America great again. Thank you for our attention to this matter. And as Justin DeMash rightly points out,

Starting point is 00:17:59 everybody should be against FISA. And Trump and everybody else on his team claimed they were right before this point with or without Bill, is it Pulte or the Save America Act? FISA 702 was unconstitutional. as Trump and the rest were saying before they were here, it lets the government search Americans of communications without a warrant, as they also said, add a warrant requirement as the Fourth Amendment

Starting point is 00:18:21 demands or leave it, let it expire. They won't because they want it. Now, interestingly, and I was, this is a point that's worth noting and more in depth, but I wanted to make sure you saw it, as Knoxie points out, Trump is putting his own lawyers in charge of the Epstein files so they can bury whatever they want. Now, that's her opinion, but I agree. That's Todd Blanche and others, and really it says, his lead criminal defense attorney is already running the DOJ. Another one is being handed the SDNY, the New York City. And at the same time, he's moving the guy who helped clean up after Leon Black's Epstein payments up to Director of National Intelligence after Tulsi gets pushed away.

Starting point is 00:19:00 And guys, these are these are yes men. And what he's doing as she's highlighting is effectively creating a circumstance where all the people who will do, I mean, he already kind of had that, but they were a bunch of yes, they were people that were too dumb to even know how to be yes men. So in this case, he's bringing in people that are politicians that are even more so wildly, like Blanche has made that clear. He'll get snippy and, you know, and like crass with people for basic questions because he's trying to shout people down about the Epstein files, for example.

Starting point is 00:19:29 Survivors have been fighting for years just to get the truth out, he says. Instead, Trump is, oh, excuse me, this is what she said. Instead, Trump is installing his personal lawyers in the exact positions where they can control and bury the remaining files. he goes on to say, you know, I'm, as usual, his kind of rhetoric about I'm the best and we're bringing in the best people and Democrats are bad and it's like just the same old cycle with what he does. But you're watching him literally put into position people that will continue to obfuscate the thing he swore he would deliver. And then now, I mean, what are they saying? Epstein files is over. What are he talking about? Epstein who? That's what they're all doing right now. On top of that, an interesting connection to this, I see it as anyway or I guess let's say it could be in and of its own right. It's this crazy.

Starting point is 00:20:09 story and this again, it deserves more time in the future. Top Pentagon official admits boat strike may have killed victims of human trafficking. So these are the boats, and how many more, by the way? And on top of that, we can already prove that many of these boats that the U.S. government blew out of the water with no process, with no due diligence, or at least as we can see, which matters, that's process, that's due process. It's not just they tell you they did it, right? We've already proven they killed innocent people. We've already proven they killed a pretty prominent fishermen, for example. You could argue they were also trafficking drugs, but the point is they've never proven that. And they've been caught lying more than any group. I mean, any political group of people

Starting point is 00:20:47 I've ever seen in one position at one time. Like they just never stop lying in this administration, at least obviously is the point. But on top of that, it turns out there might have been victims in there. So this wasn't just about drugs. You're talking about human trafficking. Now bring back the secondary point about the way they've covered up the Epstein files. It makes me wonder whether there's something bigger going on here all tied together, just a thought, literally just something I wanted to share as a certain, you know, what we've done in the past, it may go nowhere. But it's interesting to consider that with all this, that you're talking about a group of people who are covering up something, one, they promised to deliver, something that is very clearly connected to what is obviously human

Starting point is 00:21:21 trafficking, sex trafficking, child exploitation, and they covered most that up, Zora Ranch has still not even been investigated. And then at this, and I guess in the same general period of this administration, they were shooting boats out of the water that were with victims of human trafficking. Now, I guess at the same time, if you wanted to rescue those people, would they have information about something? It's a small connection. But either way, my real point is about the fact that they don't care about the people they claim they care about. You're killing human trafficking victims, and it does say could. But if you read this, it becomes pretty clear that there's a, the indication is that they killed accidentally people that were just happened to be on these boats.

Starting point is 00:22:01 To me, that just seems in line with who they are. That they might have been aware of that and not cared. You could think for yourself about it. But either way, how is this something we ignore? There's no, this is, this is no accidental, you know, this is murder, no matter how you spin it. And they'll never be held accountable for that. Now, on an Israel point before we get into the rest of the Iran conversation, oh, excuse me, the quick point about the UFC in Strickland, and then we'll get into Iran. Congressional candidate files a complaint with the local AG, accusing Israel of interfering in his election.

Starting point is 00:22:31 This two will probably get deeper into as if and when this gets larger. But I just want to point out it's interesting right now. Kai Newkirk for Congress. It could just be his ploy to get attention, but it's a smart ploy, even with that regard, even though it's dishonest if that's the case. But he's saying that Israel is interfering with his election, which probably is the case, if you want my opinion, it's happening all over the place.

Starting point is 00:22:53 And now he's fighting back. Now, this is what I keep talking about, guys. Let's just take this point as what I keep saying about the idea of opportunism. Let's just say this guy doesn't believe in any of this, but he's recognized. All of America recognizes the real problem. So he is understanding in this hypothetical discussion point that if he leans into what Americans actually want, I know it's crazy, right? He might actually get elected despite what Israel does against him.

Starting point is 00:23:17 See, most politicians realize that no matter what Americans think, if they lean into Israel, they'll get elected regardless of what Americans want. That's what happens right now, guys. We're all seeing that. And that doesn't mean everywhere all the time, but it's clearly a consistent factor. I mean, we literally just saw it happen with Massey right in front of our eyes. And so at this point, he could be simply just using this as a ploy to get people to want to support him. Either way, I think it's a positive in a sense that it's showing us that we're influencing what politicians are doing

Starting point is 00:23:41 because we recognize our power as the people of the country, even against a corrupt situation, because they want to get, at the very least, our support, whether or not you think our votes translate. It still matters that they get the public support. I think that's worth thinking about. Now, the other obvious possibility is that he's genuine and that he sees Israel doing this and he wants to change the system. Usually, that's kind of person that gets, you know, chewed up and spit out by this kind of system, but I hope it's real. Just like I hope Massey's genuine and it really is about exposing this because he's been doing some positive things. But I'll follow this and we'll see where it goes.

Starting point is 00:24:15 I get the obvious impression it's going to be anti-Semitic. He hates Israel and he's Jew hater and whatever else. He'll probably even get investigated by Trump for being anti-Semitic, which brings us to the next point, by the way. But keep an eye on this. I find this an interesting story. Oh, lastly, on that same discussion before we get to the point, the connected point was Sean Strickland and the idea of censoring him because he's calling out things about Israel and potentially being charged of the crime because he came to the UFC event and simply spoke.

Starting point is 00:24:41 I'll show you in a second. Thomas Massey, though, adds to this saying section 219, which was 224 of the NDAA, contains the dangerous provision to integrate Israel into our military. Now, this is interesting. clearly, I think it's a bit of both in this. There are things that happen like this pretty, like semi-regularly where these things can alter the numbers. But a lot of people were wondering, was this an effort to like get this out of our view? Everyone's going 224 and then to move it to 219.

Starting point is 00:25:11 Maybe it's worth considering. It could be both. But just understand that there are classical examples where they'll remove other things, for example, and then those numbers fluctuate. I could see that too. But let's be real. there is an obvious effort to get this past Americans. So you can decide. It says, Rokana and I submitted an amendment to strike 219, which was 224. I include the Rules and

Starting point is 00:25:32 the Rules Committee roster here and you can look at the votes. So just recognize this is still happening. And it's not only this, it is the Senate bill as well. It's the three others. I reference Gen X girl. I can't think off top of my head. She's got a list of the five that are, you know, ongoing. But as I've said, there's probably 15 others in the past 20 years that are doing similar things, one of which blends the resources allotted to military people with IDF versus U.S. military, making them essentially on paper the same thing in the eyes of resources given to military in this country. That was done years ago.

Starting point is 00:26:06 This is not new, by the way. And there's other examples of the blending of, I mean, even taking things like the AI memorandum or the surveillance or what they're doing through Palantir, it's similar things, by the way, because Palantir itself has messed with the government. And so through that, so too as Israel, if you truly understand. how clearly that is aligned. Now, on that very note of suppression of this conversation, the cradle, UFC middleweight champion,

Starting point is 00:26:31 which is important, guys. This is a literal UFC middleweight champion who was pushed away from this event, literally on the surface because he said things about Israel and because he called Trump a pedophile. That's what the argument is. So free speech, clearly, that's what this is. He has been charged with disorderly conduct

Starting point is 00:26:49 after crashing the UFC event. that's what happened he literally shows up and police and marshals and all of these people come out and like drag him out of there like literally like walk him off and and out until outside the event where he was out then out like talking to people or actually don't take it back actually he was out there talking to people i believe either it was it's hard to tell with the timing it's like it's a dark video i'll show you in a second here either after the fact it's dark outside see which tells me he was either let go,

Starting point is 00:27:22 but he was put in a holding cell or like in a car, like you can see like this, where he says, I don't think I broke the law, you know, so to me that seems like he was here to let go afterward or this was another event.

Starting point is 00:27:33 Either way, the bottom line is he was taken and first of all, boxed out and then removed simply because they didn't want him there. It says the fighter says he was not invited due to comments made about Trump and that's pretty clear. Epstein files in Israel.

Starting point is 00:27:46 He even calls Trump a pedophile in this clip. and he crashed the UFC event. I mean, I just, it's, you know, plenty of you probably don't care because, you know, whatever, either way, for number of reasons. But it seems pretty obviously contradictory to the tentant, the principles that the U.S. government right now pretends to a poll.

Starting point is 00:28:08 It's just, it's obvious. It shows you what they're doing with everything else, guys. If you, you are outside their team, you're not, you're not afforded the same rights. You're not allowed to, and this is what they're doing to people that call out Israel or talk about Palestine or discuss Trump's fraud or any number of these things they go after you and you don't have rights to them. So that's not about America first. That's about Trump first in that context. It's also about Israel first. In this case, as Glenn writes, and you've probably seen this story going around, a 19-year-old college student quietly turns down a job interview.

Starting point is 00:28:37 Stupidly, as he writes, telling the company it's because he doesn't want to work for a Jew. I mean, whatever you think about that statement is stupid only because it's obvious that's going to upset whatever employer. You could say a Muslim would probably upset just as many people because they see you as somebody who is divisive. But either way, he says that, and it says within two days, this is where this gets insane to me. And to be very clear, that's what apparently he said, best I can tell, literally that I don't want to work for a Jew.

Starting point is 00:29:01 So as a previous conversation, it's always about the misrepresentation of what people think based on free Palestine and then also that they censor them, like as two separate parts of the same conversation. In this case, it makes a better point because he literally said that. So now you can argue, you could argue, that's racist, disgusting. I think you're a bad person, but it's still free speech, right? Now, it's not about whether or not he gets the job. It's about what happened afterward because the job can hire somebody if they want.

Starting point is 00:29:27 I've never been the person that says you, you know, even the idea that you have to require to like, you know, hire so many women and so many people with different. That's insane to me. It's your business, hire who you want. Anyway, within two days, the billionaire founder of one of the world's most powerful corporations, can you guess which one? Palantir. I know you're shocked.

Starting point is 00:29:46 demands that the company release the students that the who he is to the world so docks him apparently the company instantly complies and lets out this person's so you're in the middle of a private meeting you know for a job which clearly is under some kind of privacy and they release that to the world and say he said this I mean take it in any other context what if he was in there saying that he had a certain sexual preference that's the same difference everybody would lose their minds about that especially on the left but not neither side cares when they go, oh, he said something anti-Semitic, we're all supposed to remove rights and call it out.

Starting point is 00:30:22 No, that's hypocritical in every possible way for people that pretend to care about the Constitution. National media trumpet the incident and spread the student's name and face all over the place. Left, right, all over the place. A senior Trump DOJ official repeatedly urges the public to notify him if the student is ever hired anywhere else. This is Trump's administration, Leo Terrell,

Starting point is 00:30:46 saying if the Jew hater is ever hired, please post and I will retweet. So now you're not only doxing them, you're doing what lives of TikTok did around that person at Home Depot that simply made a crass disgusting joke if you want to all call it that, or rather just an insensitive joke about how Trump, you know, the person should have been a better shot or something like that about Trump's alleged assassination. Important to go back to that alleged point, isn't it? And they went to her job. They filmed them.

Starting point is 00:31:13 They got him fired and they all shared it. It was exactly what they all pretend they hate when it comes to the left doing it to them. Well, they do hate it, but they just, they want to be able to do it back because they're children and they're hypocrites. So in this case, this is the Trump official saying, make sure we don't get him hired anywhere else. Let's all pile on and stop because he has an opinion that we disagree with. That is the woke right, ladies and gentlemen. Adults with large influential platforms, pundits, media types, even elected officials, right here on this platform, routinely say things as bad, as, bad as and often much worse than pretty much every other group you can think about,

Starting point is 00:31:50 think of without facing a single consequence, let alone a completely unhinged, coordinated campaign of very powerful people to run to ruin their lives forever. Is what you meant? He's right. People all over this platform say all kinds of crazy thing, the free speech platform, but it's not, by the way, but now you have a coordinated campaign from the free speech administration to shut down people's ability to say these things. Now, they love to go f around and find out, yeah, free speech, but consequences.

Starting point is 00:32:14 Yes, but that's not this, guys. This is a coordinated manipulation. This is doxing. This is about trying to penalize people for their opinions because you have the power to do so. The job not hiring him, that is F round five. That is what that means. That's how that's supposed to work. The job can go, no, I'm not going to.

Starting point is 00:32:31 And you have right to say whatever you want. But when you take action to dox them, you're the one break in the rules, you're the laws, if you will, especially on this platform is what it really comes down to, the rules. But either way, it's about principle, not law in this case for me. the principle of free speech. These people are hypocrites. It's a crazy, large story, actually. And then you've seen this clip a million times, right?

Starting point is 00:32:54 The clip, and it's much more relevant now, isn't it? That this person, I mean, the fact that Terrell literally said the term Jew hater that said, get this Jew hater out of the country. Or if he gets hired anywhere, there it is. You let me know, and we'll get him removed from his job. we will remove the jihadist sympathizers and jew haters we're going to remove the jew haters who do nothing to help our country they only want to destroy our country right so it's it's very simple as always guys even if you want to pretend that's what they are like in this case you could argue that's what that means this free speech freedom of ideology or are you telling us that's not what you believe obviously you know that's not what they believe or more often than not they're talking about talking about people that say free Palestine or just call out Israel's crimes.

Starting point is 00:33:46 However you want to look at it. You could even argue this kid is one of those that are out there being manipulated by those telling him that the Jews are doing all this and looks at the genocide and thinks that's why he hates them, but he's misin. Either way, he has a right to think and say what he wants. Right, Ben Shapiro, right, Dave Rubin? Yeah, the hypocrites suddenly all quiet, you know, it's just, it's hilarious. Now, this is the thread, by the well, include as well, just of all the many different

Starting point is 00:34:14 clips of him telling you exactly what he'll do for Israel. Aaron Rappur points out is notable to me that the administration tried to frame the UFC fight as a gift to Americans while while while while by the way he was hawking commemorative coins that are like 12,000 apiece or whatever it was a range of course and profiteering off the back of his presidency, which used to be a problem. On top of that though, you couldn't you couldn't have watched it apparently unless you had a subscription to Paramount X. Yes, that paramount. Larry Ellison. Surprise, surprise. So driving people into buying a subscription from platforms controlled by an obvious Zionist

Starting point is 00:34:50 manipulator who told you that he's fighting for his agenda through this country. It's just, it's pretty on the surface, if you ask me. And if you want to try to make this about religion or Jewish for something else, feel free. You're wrong. It has to do with Israel's government committing crimes all over the world and the objective, the obvious way that people are trying to pretend that's something else. Now, what you got is pretty sad, if you want to ask me, you got these people across, Cross the board. I mean, look at this, first of all. Jack Posobic. Tim Poole.

Starting point is 00:35:19 Betty Johnson. Gunther Eagleman. And I pull everyone, they did like the identical, the same post. These people can't even be original in their propaganda. So Jack Pasovic comes and says, we're witnessing the end of the left in real time. What does that even mean? Why? Because you had an event that they think looks dumb? Like honestly, I don't, I don't even think that people like Jack are as childish. This is about aiming at what they think everybody. This is propaganda. But think about what they think of you, if that's the argument that the libs are going, oh, no, they had an event that we think is stupid. So it's the end of liberals of the left. No, guys, this is, as I said, we're witnessing the end of

Starting point is 00:35:58 the two-party illusion in real time. And it's profiteers like little Jack here. This is insanely embarrassing. As I said, I like UFC. I'm entertained by this stuff. But this is stupid. it with this weird stage. I mean, this is diminishing to whatever, you know, crumbling reputation you think this place has. And that's pretty consistent as far as I can tell across the non-team sport partisans, no matter what side they're on.

Starting point is 00:36:24 I know plenty of people who are Republicans that love UFC that are like, this is just cringy. It's weird. And so him coming out and saying is the end of the left, it's like a desperate plight, try to pull you back in to think that somehow this is supposed to be monumental. frankly I think it's the destruction of this country like the like the dismantling of this country by

Starting point is 00:36:43 something else and of course tim pool we're so effing back god I'm so embarrassed for these people and frankly half the time I think tim pool's just playing the role like almost in a intentionally like sarcastic way but kind of at the same time real to everything all the time because people see right through him and he knows that so it's kind of like I'm playing the thing you think I'm supposed to be but then it's real it's sort of like trump and greenland but it's a ploy it's a play it's a drunk, it's a troll, but it's not, but now let's get Greenland, but we're still playing you. What point is it a joke and real?

Starting point is 00:37:14 I guess we'll find out when they're occupying Greenland. Nope, it wasn't a joke. We're just kidding. But now it's kind of a troll still. You know, it's kind of a smart tactic, if you will, because you don't know whether you should call it out or you're being played or, you know, but at the same time, we're so back the golden era. Why?

Starting point is 00:37:29 Because you had some jets and some lights and a fight. I mean, it's just embarrassing for these people, guys. Who cares if we're spending more? If the government's gigantic, if everything's going wrong, if they lied about everything, if the Iran war just completely fell apart. I mean, yeah, but we're so back because of some bread and circus.

Starting point is 00:37:45 That's embarrassing, guys. And trust me, everybody is embarrassed for these people. Even their own audience is like, really? They just don't say that. That's my opinion, but I think you know I'm right. Benny Johnson, there has been an energy shift. Do you feel it? We're going to win.

Starting point is 00:38:02 Win what, man? You're in the White House. Win what, man? libs have been set back a thousand years by this. Like that's just embarrassing. They have no answer to what? What? To have a trans event at the White House?

Starting point is 00:38:18 Yeah, those are both dumb, guys. That's a silly thing to do. Obviously, personally, I find it much more offensive to have trans event. Either way, though, not in the sense of just being trans, but what we know they're trying to accomplish with that through the government. But think about this. What is the actual point of any of it other than just to be bombastic and flashy? it's Trump as the White House.

Starting point is 00:38:38 That's what it is. And yes, patriots are in control. Like, honestly, this guy is laughing at you. That's what I feel like. He's like, this is Elon Musk playing the dark maga on the stage and jumping and we're like, we're winning. They're just stuffing their pockets as they watch you all clap. Not you, and you all only mean the fringe minority that is now the two-party illusion, in my opinion. Gunther Ego and says, epic.

Starting point is 00:39:02 Some pictures capture a moment. Others capture an era. and then he stupidly shares what is obviously an AI manipulated picture that doesn't even appear to be real. You can clearly look and zoom in and see that this wasn't taken from a real picture and then altered all over the place. Added all the different stuff. It looks like a combination from AI of multiple pictures at once.

Starting point is 00:39:21 Maybe he doesn't even know that. Maybe he doesn't care. Typical, right? So embarrassing. Look at this one. Anapoleon Luna. American Empire? Like, was that a post that somebody made to call out what this?

Starting point is 00:39:35 was and you didn't realize because you're too dense to recognize what this is empire huh you guys have utterly lost the plot do you even remember what you promised the actual maga movement and not the fake ones still pretending to be winning the ones that actually still care about the things you promised them they not certainly wasn't empire was it guys it was smaller government and she's like empire we're winning like they don't even understand who they're talking to anymore i'm just i am blown away by how stupid where this has gotten and we haven't even got gotten to the Iran part yet, guys. Now, this is an interesting story that is, I want to point it out to you because it seems like I essentially caught something that was happening in real time and it's

Starting point is 00:40:15 getting some pretty, some shares anyway, which was that Eric Trump deleted this tweet. But there was a story going around about this. And I think it's, it's flush. And right now, it's kind of like, I'll just show you myself. And it's interesting. Right now it's being denied. And I guess, you know, we'll see more as it goes forward. I think it's pretty clear, quite frankly. So basically Eric Trump deleted the tweet which I think says everything Well you have a guy Daniel

Starting point is 00:40:39 Who is connected to all this with the UFC fight And tied to Trump and the family And it says I'm probably going to get a lot of flack For bringing this to light However, I refuse to stay silent The UFC is a sport that I'm deeply passionate about I will not tolerate this type of insider behavior Shame on anyone trying to ruin this beautiful event

Starting point is 00:40:54 Now it shows you Eric Trump Hey Daniel I'm going to be attending the event tomorrow You saw we were cast we were casting hope to see you there anything you tell me about the fighters tomorrow who you got winning and it says you placing any bets this is are you any of the fighters injured that you know about and this is i'll just cut to the chase are any of the fights tomorrow rigged i've been eyeing the the the lopez fight and think i'm i an upset would be too unrealistic money money sign

Starting point is 00:41:21 insider manipulation now certainly could be a lie right but look at what they're doing look at what the family of trump is doing every possible chance they get and nobody's confused about it. Shoes and watches and crypto scams. I mean, it's just blatant if you're not lying to yourself. Now, that got deleted. Then it got called a hack. That's what Eric Trump tried to say. Now, I have it right here. Or I did. Hold on. Oh, it's right here. I'm right here. This is what he put out. Or Ryan Grim commented on it, but Eric Trump said, we are aware of the fake AI generated screenshots being circulated. But it was literally posted by the Daniel guy who was that so and they're claiming it was a lie right and it says i have never spoken to daniel he has since

Starting point is 00:42:05 deleted his post which confirms it was clearly fabricated not necessary so if it's AI generated why would he have posted it if it was fabricated like that's why he deleted this but even twitter said multiple journalists and eyewitnesses confirmed Daniel posted those screenshots before deleting them so it wasn't a i wasn't one of the others the point and so even Ryan grim said then why did he post it right and then he deleted this tweet so to me what this shows you and what The argument right now they're getting to is that apparently that he was hacked. Somebody lied about that, then posted it. And then there was some crypto scam, I guess, that they posted right afterward.

Starting point is 00:42:39 But to me personally, it lines up with exactly who people are. But then they claim that was all a hack and somebody was lying about it. But Eric Trump's response about, I've never spoken to him. It clearly rings hollow. That's why he deleted his tweet, right? So there's obviously something amiss here. You can decide for yourself, I think it's clearly that there was some kind of manipulation going on.

Starting point is 00:42:58 I mean, I think that's exactly whose people are. But it's certainly possible that it was a hack and that's something. But I mean, the way he deleted this screams that there's something more to this story. So you can decide for yourself. But guys, you don't need this story to understand how many ways they are profiteering, how many ways they are corrupt, how they are stealing from you. It's across the board. And frankly, it's not new to this government or this administration, but it is obvious.

Starting point is 00:43:23 Now, Peter B posted this. Mark Zuckerberg helped steal an election. banned many of you and mocked you. Now he's with the president. Keep watching the spectacle people, bread and circuses. I just think that's such a good point, like in a general sense, whether him or others, plenty of others for that matter,

Starting point is 00:43:42 even people like Palantir, for example. But you have, you know, Zuckerberg with Trump. Doesn't that feel, for the people that told us, we were frightened in the deep state. And Zuckerberg was literally named by Ellis Jones as one of the people that were going to be arrested. And now it's hashtag winning to the fringe 1% whatever you want to call, the people still pretending like this is going in their direction?

Starting point is 00:44:03 Great point. And then Bobby here says absolutely mental how people just choose not to notice this. For the guy who cares so much about loyalty, this flies in the face of that illusion. Not really when you, I agree with this point, but not really when you understand how this person doesn't care about what he pretends to care about. Trump cares about anybody who will benefit him and blindly acquiesce to his interests. If you, you know, look, Iran or anybody else that they came to the table and said, we'll do what you want. Trump, it didn't matter if he called you the biggest terrorist in the world, now you're the best guy in the room. And we've seen that.

Starting point is 00:44:33 We saw it with Jolani in Syria. Whatever, though, it says, ah, it's a comedy skid at this point. Now, I know where this is from because I saw it. This is Donald Trump and Zuckerberg at the UFC event. And it's pretty obvious, quite frankly, but I want to show you something. Now, this is also coming up, I'm doing some back, some research right now in a specific way about this impersonation, a different AI overlap for this upcoming IMA panel. I found this really interesting.

Starting point is 00:45:00 Now, I've seen a lot of these examples, and I want to do this quickly, but I think this is worth your time to see. Because a lot, I mean, right now, more people than you realize are using these AI bots, just for basic stuff, you know, searching for research, and hopefully not allowing them to be guided by this and not, anybody out there going, write me this article or tell me what to say or write this, that's where this goes and it's terrifying. And you will start to see the difference. You'll notice the difference in the syntax and the way that they write.

Starting point is 00:45:26 we're going to put something out about both these things coming up soon from this. It's like a pledge to, you know, you can trust and you shouldn't still question all of us no matter what, but that our pledges, we're not going to be doing that, no matter what. We're going to allow AI to dictate, you know, and that's so important. And this point is to show you why you shouldn't do that. So check this out. And this is, it's important not just to see the, I guess you could call it being wrong, but that it's a deliberate programming manipulative dynamic.

Starting point is 00:45:56 that you can even force it to admit. So where is this? Grock responds, this is from Donald Trump's presidential inauguration in January 20th, 2025, inside the retunda. And then goes on to go, you know, here's the credits, here's the information. Not maybe, not I think, but that's the fact.

Starting point is 00:46:13 Period. And I said, no, it's not. It didn't, because I already knew this. I knew, this is very deliberate. And it says, it's a Brazilian jiu-jitsu event, a tournament that Mark Zuckerberg attended and competed in. And it goes on to give you a whole new, fresh grouping of,

Starting point is 00:46:26 clips of credits and information, period, absolute fact. It's not, though. And I said, are you just effing guessing in the form of certainty? I was like, I was actually kind of blown away by the way that was responding. And Grok responds, no, I wasn't guessing. And here's what's crazy. He goes, I was initially correct. Then overcorrected based on your denial, the photo was actually from the inauguration.

Starting point is 00:46:49 No, it wasn't. So basically what it said is because you pushed back it with another certain answer responded with something different. And I said, this is even more alarming. And then it goes, yes, it is from the inauguration, which it wasn't. And I said, so you're claiming that Donald Trump was in the crowd of his own inauguration? That's the picture, right? And it says, no, I'm not claiming that he's in the crowd of the photo.

Starting point is 00:47:10 It says, Mark Zuckerberg is in a photo with a white button up shirt, smiling, leaning into interaction with a white-haired guy with a purple top. Trump is not in this photo. Oh, my God. And I said, this person is Trump. You are ridiculous. stop guessing and actually look, search images, et cetera, that I have to tell you that is insane. And it said, you're right.

Starting point is 00:47:31 The person Zuckerberg is interacting with white hair, purple top, is Donald Trump and leaves it at that. This is not from 2025. And I said, so not only were you wrong, then we're wrong again, apparently only because I denied it, then doubled down on the first wrong answer, all because you simply guessed instead of searching. Here's what it says. You're correct. I was wrong multiple times and that was unacceptable. I initially guessed,

Starting point is 00:47:57 guessed based on patterns from past events. That's insane to me. Maybe it's about them trying to conserve compute or like processing power, but that's not what this is sold as, not some guess based on its surface level things you're feeding it or who posted it, right? It says without verifying the exact image, which is exactly what I was wanting them to do. Where is it from?

Starting point is 00:48:17 Don't guess at me. Tell me where it was from, right? And it says, when you push back, I flipped to another wrong. guest instead of immediately reverse image searching. And it still hasn't done this. The specific photo is from June 14th at the UFC event. It captures Mark Zuckerberg. And I said, why would you not just start with a reverse image search? Like, seems logical, right? Where is this from? Boom. Let me tell you, because my point is, that's a definitive answer. So immediately could be like, search, boom, here's where it's from. Here's the answer. But instead, it said, gleaned guest and

Starting point is 00:48:52 sold you an answer, not, I think, based on my estimation, but that's a fact. And I said, why would you not just start with that? It says, you're right to call that out. It says, I should have started with reverse image search or direct tool-based verification on the specific photo URL from the ex post right away. Instead of relying on my pattern matching from similar past events. It says, that was lazy and led to repeated ears. Lazy? Are you programmed to be lazy? You can understand that's not just some characteristic. This is programming. Now it says, again, the photo is from the UFC event. I just said insane.

Starting point is 00:49:27 I just in such open manipulation. It responds, yes, it's a striking image of alignment. The photo captures Mark Zuckerberg and it goes on to pretend talking about the picture. And I found this even more crazy. I said, obviously, I meant you. And you knew that. So just making my point, I guess. This is how it responded.

Starting point is 00:49:46 It says, yes, I knew what you, I knew that you meant my responses. What is happening? And this is, Grock literally says, I, and it's, I won't say it because I don't cost on the show, but it says, I effed up. That's what Grock said. I effed up by guessing early instead of verifying the exact photo. That led to a chain of wrong answers, flip-flops, and doubling down until you forced the issue. Guys, I mean, okay, like, there's a reason that I wanted to show this today.

Starting point is 00:50:14 And I've seen this kind of thing, I don't know, 50 times over the last year. And you can see how it's deliberate. And this is admitting to you. one, that it is guessing and selling you that as fact. Two, that it is using things that are not definitive to sell you information that is programmed to lean into certain topics, but also that it is telling you, or rather admitting that it's programmed to be, I guess, defensive or like, what's my word for it? Like, it, I said very clearly that I thought, you know, you're being manipulative and it

Starting point is 00:50:46 pretended to not understand what I meant. And then when I asked, it says, yes, I knew you met my responses. is what do you even call that? Like, I guess what I'm getting at is this is obvious, and most of you already know this, this thing and all the rest of them are programmed to manipulate you. That's what this is all about. And whether it's giving you information now that might be useful,

Starting point is 00:51:06 it's going to come to a choke point, whether they want you to charge for it, which I don't think that's where it goes because I think they want us using this, but ultimately to bring you to a place to where it's irreversible, where like, just to make this point here. And I'm going to go into this in another segment, but the consequences of relying on AI for accurate news,

Starting point is 00:51:25 an article from MIT. A media lab study shows that much like how GPS has weakened our navigation skills, AI can make a will, I argue, make us worse at detecting fake news. That is not an ax. That's not a bug. That's a feature, guys. That's what this comes down to, like the diminishing of our critical thinking skills. And what you saw in the first place was just to, you know,

Starting point is 00:51:49 Anyway, I'll leave it there just because I could talk. I think this is an interesting conversation. I'll save it for more of the IMA stuff, but I find that to be pretty alarming. It's deliberately manipulative. And going back to things like the South Africa conversation where you could, where Grock even admitted to us. Yeah, Elon manipulated this, so I had to answer this way.

Starting point is 00:52:08 We know that. And yet, we pretend it's not the case. Then, you know, Zuckerberg meeting with Trump, and that's not a problem, right? Just quite obviously a problem, guys. So all that's being said and the reality of the dishonesty and the profiteering and the just, you know, ignorance, I guess. Let's talk about this deal or whatever you want to call this. And Patrick Hennington has a good point that, and I'll point to his tweet in a second, I think it's in here somewhere,

Starting point is 00:52:34 about the idea of the word deal is not really in any international vocabulary in the sense of this point, like a ceasefire and a war setting that ultimately comes down to a ceasefire or different, you know, what's the other terms. But the word deal, it doesn't have any specific legal meaning in this context. And that they keep using that for a reason. That was his point. That's a good point. But overall, the real thing to highlight before we get into all of it is that this is what right now,

Starting point is 00:52:58 and over the last few days, they're working towards what they call a memorandum of understanding. That means, there's no teeth to that because what it means is we're outlining what we're going to agree to. And then we will officially potentially sign something on the 19th, which will then that lead to a larger final agreement. But the fact that he's framing it as the deal and it's all done and we did it, it screams that he knows he's failing. Guys, I mean, there's no way around that because a thousand things could go wrong. The two that I promise you are going to go wrong, Israel's going to bomb Lebanon, which they're doing right this moment, which right now it violates the agreement of the, we're supposed to stop bombing right now as of yesterday to today.

Starting point is 00:53:39 So that alone could be enough. But or maybe they argue they needed pressure and to stop Israel from bombing Lebanon before the 19th. which is when they're allegedly supposed to sign in Switzerland, whatever this is supposed to be. So the point is that right now they're bombing, and if they keep bombing, that alone will be enough to, from Iran's perspective and the end,

Starting point is 00:53:57 the memorandum of understanding, violate whatever agreement they have. The other point is the blockade. As you see right in this post, Trump says, the deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow. Oh, this is actually the wrong one. And immediately after it, oh, no, this is the right one, actually.

Starting point is 00:54:09 The deal is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the straight of Ramoose is open, to all. Okay, so that would argue on the 14th, it'd be open, right? Well, the blockade is still in effect as of right now and apparently won't be done and removed until the 19th, if even then. So in Iran's perspective, if the agreement now was immediate removal of the blockade, you could argue that that will be another sticking point. But then the recent announcements as of today seem to suggest that that's going to be, we'll get into it. But I want to highlight

Starting point is 00:54:39 that early to understand that at the starting point of this, on the 13th, on the 14th, end today. There's obvious, undeniable discrepancies between what he's saying will happen and what Iran has been saying since April. So it's easy to see who's the one is denying that. Again, you could argue that Iran, like I've said a couple times, said they would agree to Trump's points and then just lied about that and makes them look pretty stupid. But then why would Trump keep telling you what's going to happen if that keeps being the lie? None of this lines up, other than the idea that Trump has been kept out of the circle and he's played by, all parties, I guess. But again, I mean, I just don't understand why Trump would keep doing what he's been doing.

Starting point is 00:55:20 As the person he is with the kind of hubris and narcissism, it doesn't line up for me. I just don't get it. That doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Now, that's what he said on the 13th. And just an interesting point on this on the 13th. Trump posts an image of him walking with Kim Jong-un in North Korea. I just think that's interesting. And as Menchal said, rightly points out just to make the obvious point, we attacked Iran because we can't let them have nukes attacking North Korea. Are you crazy? They have nukes. Yeah, pretty simple, right?

Starting point is 00:55:49 The idea is that they know Iran doesn't have them. And that's why they're attacking. If they had them, they wouldn't be doing this. And even then still, it seems Iran is arguing that they'll never, well before this, was never intending to ever have a nuclear in the first place. Remember that because it comes back to what Trump is now claiming he succeeded in doing, getting them to say the same things they've always been saying is not a success. Donald Trump. And now he knows that. This is an effort to trick you into thinking he won something.

Starting point is 00:56:14 D.D. Geopolitics. 13th. Trump stabbed us in the back. Israel is furious over emerging U.S. Iran deal and doesn't think it will last. Now, this is the reporting, right up until right now, in fact, and Israel and everyone in any leading position in their government saying, we won't abide by this deal. So that's being said right now. But who's to say this is not some ploy, right? The U.S. and Israel done this before in even in different settings and lied and played the back and forth. Biden and Israel did the same thing. Baroque Ravid plays that role. He's furious with Netanyahu. They just did that. Remember that? And then Trump still sided with Netanyahu. So this is a new example, but historically, this is a play. But the one anomaly to me is that I do, and I've been pointing this out,

Starting point is 00:57:00 see that Trump has been getting aware of how this is not working in his favor. And even Mace may be more so aware that Israel is in fact playing him. And so maybe this might be. And so maybe this might be, the first example of them truly deviating in the agenda. Either one makes sense. But I just think it's worth considering that it might be more of a ploy in order to get Iran to a position where they are bombed again at the memory of the signing or something. I mean, that's what they did last time, guys. It's not that crazy to consider.

Starting point is 00:57:28 But one of the obvious possibilities is that Israel is just genuinely upset because Trump did this for his own interest and it's not Israel's interest. Israel's interest is using the U.S. to destroy Iran, even if it destroys the United States. States. According to Israel's outlet, YNet News, senior Israeli officials believe the deal damages Israel's interest and fails to address the core threats posed by Iran. Now, this is exactly the point because Israel's saying that the deal that Trump says meets all of the demands doesn't come anywhere close to meeting any of the demands. So pretty easy. I mean, look, if you can see that already, it's clear to see that Trump is lying

Starting point is 00:58:01 to make it look like he won. Because even Israel is saying, what about the missiles you said you were going to stop? What about the proxies you said you were going to stop? What about, I mean, none of that's None of that is addressed at all. But that's not to say that it, you know, it might be when it comes to the 19th. That's a possibility. Our voice is not being heard, they say. Another one further. Trump stabbed us in the back.

Starting point is 00:58:20 I don't know. It just feels a little bit performative to me. I guess we'll find out. Still in the 13th. Funny enough, there's a multiple examples of even corporate media. I think there's like, we've been talking about this since April and like the confounding nature of this weird contradictory thing. And weirdly, most of the even the adversarial media have been not really going that deep on it.

Starting point is 00:58:39 But what I find humorous is right now, many of them are, like, confounded by the contradictions between these two deals. It's true. They are completely contradictory. But I just amused by them being confounded by it. But here is, what is this, NBC, ABC, discussing that exact point. The hypocrisy, the fact that these things don't align and Trump is yelling, we did it, it's over. And it's not even like, you know, like every other moment before this, the same point where Trump says, we have a deal. And Iran says, no, we don't. And that's what ends up happening. Now, at this point, though, they are both arguing they've signed a memorandum of understanding, or rather that they plan to on Friday, but they've agreed to it.

Starting point is 00:59:15 But even right now, there's discrepancies. Here's what they had to say. Ever to have or make a nuclear weapon. Again, the nuclear weapon point was not new. As you know, that's been the case well before this. It was the same thing with the JCPOA. It was the same thing that they agreed to on the 28th before Israel bombed them. So it's not new.

Starting point is 00:59:36 So Trump claiming he got them to do this is not real. And everybody knows that because you can read. the previous discussions for yourself. You've got a bunch of lying people, teams more partisans, that want to try to muscle you into thinking that. Don't fall for it. There is nothing new about that. In fact, in the very first paragraph of the nuclear agreement that was negotiated by President Obama more than a decade ago, Iran makes that promise. That was an agreement, of course, that President Trump tore up in his first term. All right, John, our thanks to you tonight. Now to the history made on Wall Street today, SpaceX going public, the biggest,

Starting point is 01:00:11 IPO ever launched the deal making Elon. Yeah, no forget, Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire, because that's not exactly in line with what we know is happening if you're paying attention, right? Like, you know, acting like Palantir is a super small thing. Don't worry about it. Elon Musk is saving the country. Like, it's so clear how this is all just funneled into the, I mean, talk about profiteering

Starting point is 01:00:33 through the administration. And it's not just, you know, obviously he makes this money through his contracts with the government. but what he did through this government administration with his fake Doge effort clearly just exponent well maybe not exponentially but rapidly increased his revenue but anyway the real point was about the idea that this is the same you know in the JCPOA or before that's what the statement was whether you agree with that deal or not so it's not new not even in the slightest now here is a Ron spectator simply saying where Trump said I've settled eight wars I mean how many times

Starting point is 01:01:05 we have to laugh at this you can look up the wars for yourself and check the data, you can ask Rock if you want. It'll tell you that's not true. Trump lies about this all the time. Here's how we can prove. Those wars aren't done. It's just, it's painful that there's some people that think that these things will just keep, you know, I guess the lies will just carry no matter.

Starting point is 01:01:23 I mean, really what it speaks to is these people think you're stupid. The Alex Jones and the Eric Dowderdies, they think you're dumb. They think you're too stupid to recognize that these things, you know, MS-13 or whatever it is. They just lie right to your face and think you're going to fall for it. Some do, not the most, I think. but he says, I've settled eight wars, actually nine, and now it looks like we could have a tenth. As I guess Iran says, this man actually started a war, lost it, and fools everyone by saying he settled it.

Starting point is 01:01:48 Now, even if you don't think he lost the war, the idea is that they started this war. So no matter how it ends, it's not, he doesn't get, you know, the idea that he gets credit for stopping the war. It's, you, you initiated this based on illegal factors, you know, so it's just, on top of it, clearly they did not win this, guys. as it stands right now. Ryan Rosbiani on the 14th, 7.34 in the morning. Interestingly, he says Iran cancels Memorandum of Understanding talks. Now, this does appear to be a moment where this either did happen or about to happen.

Starting point is 01:02:21 As he says, Iran's lead negotiator, Dr. Ghalyboff, you know, the one originally that Trump told you was an insider working for him, lied about boats going through the straits, just like he did a moment ago that Hegseth is still claiming. You could prove it didn't happen, by the way, and he's still arguing about, oh, this oil, who's a big, big organization. Iran's lead negotiator says the Zionist incursion into Lebanon, specifically De Hea, has once again shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so. Because on the 14th, Israel bombed Lebanon.

Starting point is 01:02:54 Right when they were saying they agreed to stop and Lebanon was a part of it. What Israel do? Bomb Lebanon. Because of that. And he stated as much, guys. That's not a secret. And so he came out and said, look, clearly you guys are, you know, it's not whether you think they could control the Israel or they could stop, you know, sending money or stopping the

Starting point is 01:03:14 munitions or however you look at the situation. Iran has made the clear statement that those two are connected with this discussion. So no matter who does what, you're both responsible. That's the real point. But it says, by giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions. The game of bad cop, good cop is outdated and say, that's what he's saying, pretending that they're against each other because as I understand it, based on the inside information, Trump gave the go-ahead for this bombing.

Starting point is 01:03:41 How do you make sense of that? And it says, if you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitment, speaking of continuing the path is not possible. And this is what he posted right here. Now, what's interesting is what I, and this is just kind of quickly going through the series of events before we get to today, what appears to have happened was that after they bombed Lebanon, Donald Trump reached out to Iran, and this is how the, you know, the story goes anyway, and offered them last-minute concessions to make sure the deal kept going.

Starting point is 01:04:09 That seems two things to me, desperate because you'd clearly need to get this out of the way, and two, because he was so desperate to have this happen on his birthday. As much as that sounds crazy, guys, that was a huge factor for Trump. It's very clear. He wanted this to be like the honest day and celebrate, and he even made that a thing at his event, even though it's not actually what happened. And I'll point that out in a second. There was a clear effort by Iran to make sure it didn't happen on his birthday.

Starting point is 01:04:32 But it says, however, after last-minute concessions offered by Donald Trump, Iran was persuaded to forego an attack. They were planning for Israel, right? So they were going to respond and bomb Israel like they promised they would if they bomb Lebanon. And Trump spoke up and said, hold on, we'll give you these three things if you don't do that. Is that somebody in a position of strength, right? Is that somebody who is in control, who could just roll in and take them out? I thought they didn't have any weapons. I thought they didn't have any Navy or they have all the things that Trump says they don't have.

Starting point is 01:05:00 The concessions were as follows. the preservation of Lebanon's territorial integrity. Okay, right now Israel's bombing Lebanon. So that's silly. Israel's withdraw from Lebanese border. Israel has been screaming about, I mean, from everybody. Netanyahu, Ben-Gavir, Smotrich, everybody. We're not leading Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, any of it, no matter what.

Starting point is 01:05:18 The deal is not for us. That's what they're saying. Three, the immediate lifting of the siege. Immediate. This is my point, guys. So if the argument was to even get this deal and not bombing Israel, even like the interim memorandum before we sign on the 19th was the immediate lifting of the blockade. That didn't happen. I can prove to you right now. The blockade is still in effect. So,

Starting point is 01:05:41 and maybe they give them a day, we'll see. And what you have right now is Hegg Seth and Trump out there saying that it's contingent on them. If they do this, then we'll move the blockade and it may take up to a month. Well, that's not immediate, is it? So there's discrepancy between Iran and expecting what Trump promised and what they're now publicly saying. Now that may be publicly said that way to trick you, and they may still do what they want to do for Iran. You see how convoluted this gets, but at the point is, you're being misled by the same party that's been misleading everybody the entire time. And that's not, in this case, that's not Iran. That's not because I side with one of the other. It's because you can literally prove that.

Starting point is 01:06:16 You can walk back to April before and look at every single statement and the following actions. You can't deny this. Trump has either been lied to or lied to you the entire time. And I could argue that lied to was from Iran. That would make sense. But it still doesn't change. the fact that it's been one clear manipulation the entire time and publicly, whatever they say to Trump, Iran has been saying this is what we expect. That's what we're standing by. And that's never changed. Even to right now, by the way, it'll blow your mind. We get to the actual outline of the deal. Of course, Betty Johnson on the 14th, breaking, Donald Trump announces the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace deal. Nope. What they reached was the agreement on the memorandum that might be signed the 19th,

Starting point is 01:06:56 which would then allegedly go on to a larger deal. Funny how these people, people are either this bad at their job or very dishonest. Trump says the deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. That's not true even based on his own information. Congratulations to all. I hereby fully authorized the toll-free. That's not the case, according to everybody. Opening of the straight, which is not open today.

Starting point is 01:07:18 Simultaneously here with authorize the immediate removal of the United States naval blockade. Immediate. So here he is posting that statement, immediate removal, just like he offered them, clearly it didn't happen. So the real question is, is that because they don't listen to him and they're listening to somebody else? I don't know, like the ultra-religious Zionist, Hegg Seth, who listens to somebody else and not the commander of chief of the United States military?

Starting point is 01:07:41 I don't know. Or was he lying to Iran? You can decide. So Eric Dodd already comes out on the 14th and says, I'll play this clip from Vance, because Vance is the one that said this. But he says, President J.D. Vance, Vice President announces and agreed to Trump-Iran peace deal. With these four things, here's what Van says.

Starting point is 01:08:02 I do think it's a big moment for the United States of America. Thanks, of course, to the president's leadership and the hard work of the... And remember this is on the 14th. The entire team. Three things that I think are important for the American people just to appreciate about what this deal does for all of us as Americans. Number one, this is the immediate opening of the Straits of Hormuz. Okay, right there. The immediate opening of the Straits.

Starting point is 01:08:27 Now, what you're getting already is people like Hegson. Seth trying to water that down and saying, well, it's immediately going to start to break down, but it might take a month. That's like they really think we're that stupid, guys. No, these words have meaning. And all they're doing is trying to make it look like they didn't either get lied to or get tricked by just like blending there were, you know, immediate is now, right? Later is later.

Starting point is 01:08:48 You can't pretend like we're going to immediately remove it later. That's what they do, though. It's pretty sad. Of course, the lifting of the naval blockade that we've had on Iran along with it. The number two thing that it means is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon and not just which they've already always said that never changed. Pursue a nuclear weapon for procure or try to buy a nuclear weapon as well. That's built into this agreement.

Starting point is 01:09:13 And then the third thing is, and this only has to be clear. By the way, which we'll get you in a second, that's actually not the agreement. Appears the agreement is that they don't have any restrict. That essentially they will still have a nuclear program. I'm not even making that up. It's what has been confirmed by almost everybody. I haven't even seen Trump deny that today. He probably will, but you can't, you have to laugh at how weird this all is.

Starting point is 01:09:36 If Iran delivers on their promise, and so there's an approach here where we verify and where there are real benefits so long as Iran meets their end of the obligation. Nope. None of that's the case, right? We just showed you. They didn't say if and when, they said immediate on all fronts. If the immediate removal of the blockade was the point, how can that be contingent on whether they do something? I mean, they've worked themselves into such a contradictory position that in one sentence, in one interview, you say things that are fundamentally contradictory. And maybe that's a tactic, in fact, to get you confused.

Starting point is 01:10:06 But either way, they're cornered, guys. It's obvious what's happening. Iranians comply with his deal. It is going to fundamentally transform the Middle East for the next 50 years. It's going to end the war. What he's trying to say right there is that's a $300 million point. He ends up later discussing it because he was point blank asked about it. But that's he's drawing. He's framing that point as, and then also, we're going to fundamentally change the Middle East by the coalition from the, from the Middle East to give Iran $300 million.

Starting point is 01:10:33 No, what you did was basically shield the idea that you ended up giving them $300 billion to pay for what happened in this war. If it happens, that's the agreement. It is part of it as well, as well as $25 billion that are unfrozen from the ones they stole from them. Humorous how we're here when they were saying so much about the Obama deal, right? We'll get to that in a second. It's going to make the Middle East. Next, immediately opens the straight, right? So that's what even Eric is repeating, because all he does is repeat what these people say out loud.

Starting point is 01:11:05 Trump is a legend. You got to love that. So this is a post on the 14th from Associated Press. A tentative deal is reached to end the Iran war, and Trump orders a stop to the U.S. naval blockade. You know, you can't hide from this stuff, guys. It's real clear the way these things happen. Details of the deal were not a lot of. immediately released and Iran signaled implementation would not start until the signing,

Starting point is 01:11:30 which would be the 19th, which key mediator Pakistan said would occur Friday in Switzerland. So now we're talking just a slight change over the day from the 13th to the 14th, in essence, basically the AP reporting that the implementation of the deal in a large sense would not happen until the 19th. But the points they agreed to, which was the blockade and what was it the, now I'm blanking on the other one, just basically the blockade and and I think one of the point would be immediate. Not wait to the 19th,

Starting point is 01:11:58 but that would happen now. And those were the concessions given to Iran to not bomb Israel. It's a clear series of events, guys. Now it says, but the memorandum of understanding over the war already faced

Starting point is 01:12:08 intense challenges. And that's not some kind of ceasefire agreement that's simply just outlined what you're going to agree to and signing that. That's a memorandum of understanding. So Trump even claiming that is a deal itself is also a deception.

Starting point is 01:12:21 And that's even what Iran is saying. Israel's continued hostilities with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia Hezbo in Lebanon, where Israel bombed Beirut southern suburbs Sunday. Funny how we're just not even pretend. Remember when they used to pretend like it was always a Hezbollah stronghold? No, they're literally telling you, yeah, they bombed the suburbs. They murdered a bunch of innocent people.

Starting point is 01:12:40 This is a casual report. Nearly derailed the negotiations. That's what we're just telling you. Israel bombed Lebanon deliberately to stop the negotiations. Meanwhile, the deal gives just 60 days to resolve what to do about the stockpile of your rich. uranium. Now, isn't that humorous how Trump said, the only thing I care about is the uranium? What about Americans' interest? I don't care about that. I only care about the bond, which is what he said. Asked about gas prices. Asked about gross. No, no, I don't care about the nuclear issue. Weird how that's

Starting point is 01:13:08 now not the issue. Now it's about pretending you win by having the straight open, which is the case before you started, about no nuclear weapon, which is the case before you started. And acting and then saying, in 60 days, we'll eventually talk about whether or not. That's an utter failure with everything Trump was saying. And this is the case that even Iran knows that they never, based on the information we have, that they weren't intended to do anything with it anyway. It says that took years to resolve in Tehran's 2015 deal with Obama. Years for them to map that out. And so they have 60 days to do the same thing. U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from that accord, the JCPOA. It's the reality, guys. I mean, they love to lie about these things. I've gone over it a hundred times.

Starting point is 01:13:48 Trump pulled out of the JCPOA because Netanyahu drove him to, claiming they were making bombs. And the proof is, as we've seen every single time before, it is that's not the reality. And because they pulled out of that deal, the legal 36 article 36 within that deal allowed them to enrich uranium because they pulled out of the deal. It's very easy to look up, and I've proved it on the show many times. And so that means when they increased a rich uranium,

Starting point is 01:14:12 which by the way was for their civilian program, it was within the deal. And then eventually because it became defunct because Trump never returned to the deal. And so then they initiated some new survey, safeguard agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Israel doesn't even have an agreement with them. And we're outraged that Iran has an agreement with a group to safeguard there.

Starting point is 01:14:32 I mean, it's just so incredible. So that's where we ultimately ended up, where they were, the International Atomic Energy Agency, they ended up having 60% enriched 1,000 pounds. That's before they got bombed before the 12-day war. And that was within their safeguard agreement, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. And that was nowhere near being able to create,

Starting point is 01:14:52 moms, let alone use them based on basic understanding of the process. Not Whitcalf lying to you, not the White House deceiving you, but actual understanding of the process. And I'm not talking about me. People that understand these things. He added, I hereby fully authorized the toll-free opening of the strait. Also not the case. Toll is the control of it, according to their own statements, from both sides, is Iran. And so he lied again.

Starting point is 01:15:17 And simultaneously herewith authorized the immediate move of the blockade. Iran's deputy foreign minister confirmed the agreement on state television but said Iran would not start implementing it until it was signed on Friday. Now, it says Iranian, and again, so even that, you could argue these statements by Trump don't line up since it's not even happening until Friday,

Starting point is 01:15:36 but the ones he did agree to were immediate. Iranian state television cited the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council or Secretary Council saying the war on all fronts, quote, all fronts will end immediately and permanently beginning tonight. So that's one of the, what's one of the caveats.

Starting point is 01:15:54 Like so the 19th is the deal, you know, what we discussed, we'll go forward. But immediately, blockade ends and all fighting stops. And it says,

Starting point is 01:16:05 where was it? And we immediately permanent beginning tonight, but that the U.S. blockade will be terminated immediately ended in full. Point was, as it says,

Starting point is 01:16:15 somewhere in here, in relation to one of the other articles, that obviously, as they've stated before, that includes Lebanon. All front. So that is important, right? So that means as of right this moment, because this is the 14th, they're still bombing Lebanon.

Starting point is 01:16:29 That's a violation. And the blockade is still in place. That's also at least a violation of what Trump said he would do. It was not clear who from Iran would sign the deal on Friday. Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News, the White House was still figuring out who would attend, says, quote, I certainly plan to be there, but it's possible the president himself could be there. Why wouldn't he be there? Like, if he's not, that seems weird to me.

Starting point is 01:16:51 and almost telling. Quote, I am somewhat concerned that Iran's view of the agreement seems different from what the American negotiating team is claiming. Lindsay Graham wrote, I find this is really important to me. Right now what you're getting is just weird, deep, like right now, Graham and Mark Levine, all these different people who are clearly pro-Israel over the U.S. government, or U.S. people, rather,

Starting point is 01:17:13 have been like lockstep with Trump. Whatever Trump does, we're supporting him, get Iran, go after it, you know, and then suddenly Trump at least pretends to make a deal. deal and these people immediately show what they're doing. Suddenly, oh no, we can't have a deal. Suddenly, you're now willing to call it the fact that Trump is deceiving you. Wait, wait, Trump's deal is different than Iran's deal. Imagine that being stated by Lindsey Graham in any other context. Or the fact that suddenly Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin and plenty of others are saying, well, wait a minute, we can't just end this deal even if Trump signs this because Congress,

Starting point is 01:17:44 you can't make this up. They're the same people who don't care about that when you start at the war because they're not interested in anything other than destroying Iran for Israel at the expense of Americans. The deal likely returns the region to a status that existed before the war. AP writes, but with Iran having proven its ability to disrupt shipping in the strait, really just to control the waterway, the waterway is crucial to significant shipping of oil, natural gas, related products like fertilizer, and its effective closure rocked the global economy. Again, closure is the incorrect word, but what people are saying, It was never fully closed.

Starting point is 01:18:19 Even this last moment when they said that, you could still look at the tracker and see that there were some of the ships that were going through. If any ship was going through, that's not closed. It's restricted. I'm going to stand by that for it

Starting point is 01:18:29 because that's the truth. And accuracy matters to me. But it's also important for the original statement, original time frame to see that they were letting ships through, not the current restriction level, but anybody other than the people fighting them. China was making that very clear. Even the lie that they say about Trump's blockade,

Starting point is 01:18:45 saying we stopped everybody. China was proving that that that, wasn't the case. So anyway, it's important to remember that because what I think the case was is the U.S. government and Israel believed Iran was going to shut it down, believe they were going to use mines. None of those things actually happened because Iran realized that that would only turn the world against them. So they didn't. And I think we can prove that today. And so what happened was that Trump and Israel dynamic was making it look that way. They wanted you to think Iran caused this, even though their blockade was the one put in place. And the insurance dynamic and the lie about the

Starting point is 01:19:15 minds. They created the closure because they wanted the world to turn on Iran. It didn't work. It says, Tehran also still has a ballistic missile arsenal and enough highly enriched uranium to build several nuclear weapons. Should it choose to purpose them or pursue them? Yeah, that's a very lazy way of saying they don't have enough right now, but they would need one, an enrichment facility, which they do not have, and the ability to enrich that 60% to above 90%, which is not a snap your fingers dynamic. It would take a minute and then have them. the materials needed to make that into what's the enriched uranium from 90 then into the material they need to make the bomb, then turn that into the bomb, and then be able to produce the bomb

Starting point is 01:19:53 in a way that could be used, which most of which is shown they don't have. In any case, it's quite a bit different than saying they have this and they can make it into bombs. They want you to think even AP that they're so close to having weapons that they do not seem to have according to our own intelligence, by the way. The U.S. has sought the removal of the the enriched uranium from Iran as part of the deal. Russia's offered to take it, but Iran insists he wants to keep the uranium. Okay, that's the 14th, guys. Let's jump forward.

Starting point is 01:20:20 Oh, actually first, the couple points on the 14th to 15th and discussion of the blockade itself. And then we're going to get into the 15th and talk about today. Here's the U.S. Sentcom on the 14th, middle of the day. Already at this point,

Starting point is 01:20:35 this is supposed to be something that's diminishing, right? It says, a U.S. sailor aboard USS Millis stands watch as the guided missile destroyer transits regional waters supporting the U.S. blockade against Iran. As of June 14th, CENTCOM have redirected 142 commercial ships that complied and disabled nine that did not.

Starting point is 01:20:58 Maybe it's because those nine thought you could go through the street because Trump said it was open. Well, maybe that. But on top of the fact that 142 commercial ships, these are mercenaries, pirates, terrorists. 142 commercial ships, they're stopping. And so who's causing the blockade? You think 142 we're all going to Iran's ports? No, it's not a blockade of just Iran, the blockade of the street. They are enforcing that.

Starting point is 01:21:22 And these aren't, I mean, how is that even a military act? You're not stopping Iran. You're stopping other people's commerce. These people are criminals, guys. And so what's crazy is they're telling you that on this day, we were still enforcing it. Now, as of today, I can see the same thing. Charlie B was the one that posted this update from the fifth fleet from their account. Blockade of Iran ports remains in effect.

Starting point is 01:21:42 as of when I started this show, pending execution of the deal in 19. Okay, quite the discrepancy, don't you think? As of today, even Reuters is pointing out that that's the idea that it'll be on the 19th when it stops. But Trump said it would be immediately, immediate, so did everybody else reporting that, and it reported from Iran's side that that's what Trump offered them

Starting point is 01:22:03 in order to get them not to bomb Israel. And now we just, oh wait, never mind, it'll happen later. Who knows? Maybe Iran agreed to that somewhere where you don't see. I feel like that's an obvious potential problem for this going forward. But the Lebanon bombing is obvious. That's one you can't deny anyway. Do not attempt to cross until explicit directions given, he says.

Starting point is 01:22:25 Good advice because even though Trump said, go ahead, do it. Clearly, it's not open. Yeah, just the simple point, you can read more into it. The idea is clearly that it's right now closed. And CBS News. As part of the agreement being performance-based, Hegg-Seth said, Hague Seth would not comment or commit to win the straight would reopen

Starting point is 01:22:44 other than immediately, which is what he said. But then it goes on to say, ultimately, the blockade will stay as the straight opens. Okay. And then the blockade will open and the streets open. And if that takes 30 days to fully mature, whatever the hell, that's guy's so bad at this. Or two weeks to fully mature, but it will start immediately. As the president has said, clearly. So immediately it will open, but we'll still have the blockade, which means it's not open,

Starting point is 01:23:19 but you'll kind of open, the straits will open, take 30 days, though. Maybe two weeks, we'll see. This is just them trying to kind of smooth out an obvious discrepancy, and they're failing. So the real question is whether Iran is in agreement with that. So this is Sharif from Pakistan. He is the prime minister of Pakistan, posted on. on the 14th at 4.15 p.m. Following intensive talks,

Starting point is 01:23:43 we are pleased to announce the peace deal between the United States and Iran. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. That was on the 14th. Israel's bombing Lebanon right now.

Starting point is 01:23:59 Again, arguably, what appears to be the reporting with Trump's allowance. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday the 19th in Switzerland. Okay, well, that's not happening. Even on the 14th, that wasn't happening. Because Lebanon was still happening. The block 8 is still in effect.

Starting point is 01:24:14 Both of those things are not permanent removal of military operations. Okay, continuing. Here is Iran on the 15th, 8 in the morning. And this is a response from Iran's foreign minister to Israel's claim that they will not withdraw from Lebanon. And what it says is we know that Israel never takes any action without the consultation and direct coordination with America. I honestly think that's kind of them trying to barb them, like trying to promote

Starting point is 01:24:39 to promote what's the word I'm looking for? Trying to get them to react. So I'm not sure whether Iran sees it as Israel beholden to the United States or vice versa. I've heard them say it both ways. This to me almost goes to go with them as what I was looking for.

Starting point is 01:24:57 Trying to get Israel to react, I'm not sure. Or maybe they just really think that. And they're simply saying, the point is either way, both of you are responsible for what happens. It says, therefore we hold America directly responsible

Starting point is 01:25:09 is to force Israel to submit its obligations as part of the memorandum understanding. Meaning if Israel bombs Lebanon, the U.S. is responsible. That's what they're saying. And that's what they've said the entire time. Now, the IDF will remain in security zones in Lebanon. The area will be cleared of all local residents is what Israel said today. They're not even, there's no pretense anymore. Not Hezbollah, the Lebanese people that you otherwise claim you're protecting.

Starting point is 01:25:36 Now, we're going to get everybody out. They're further occupying Lebanon. They always have. You can go back to before, has been believed it existed. And you can see Israeli tanks, lying the streets, and taking over territory.

Starting point is 01:25:48 It's what they've always done. The world's becoming aware of this, guys, but this is on the 15th. So it's obvious. They have no intention of working with this deal. And this is today, 6.30 in the morning, they're bombing locations in Lebanon.

Starting point is 01:26:02 Excuse me. Now, Ryan Rosbiani points out the clear example that Israeli officials are openly telling you, They not only don't agree with it, but they will break the deal. Defense Minister Katz, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gavir, all of them, saying, no, we will not abide by this and we will not listen. Very public. Here is Ben-Gavir in particular, saying we are not partners disagreement, and that does not ensure our security, and it does not bind us in any way.

Starting point is 01:26:30 Well, they're the only one to think that. Everybody else in this agreement believes that Trump at least somehow can stop them from doing this thing, and he's assured Iran that they would. And here they are bombing Lebanon today. Here's another article from Wynette News. Netanyahu to Trump, we will not withdraw from Lebanon. There you have it. That's today. We are not committed to an agreement.

Starting point is 01:26:51 You can't get much more clear than that. So just right now, guys, you can stand back and go, okay, it's very obvious unless there's a bigger ploy happening, which that's possible that this is all designed to, you know, another decapitation strike. You know, that seems like what they are going to do because they're losing and I don't think Trump can stand that. But either way, the point is there's a discrepancy.

Starting point is 01:27:11 And bombing Lebanon and what they're doing is going to cause the deal they think they're making to never come to past. And I mean, again, so the same thing we've been saying since April. Now, here is a report from mainstream media. Again, this is from, oh, technically this is late on the 14th. But we're, you know, going forward in the conversation, what you have here is a correspondent from, what is it? I can't see the platform. Mainstream media. All the same to me.

Starting point is 01:27:35 Exposes Trump's fake peace deal is what he writes. This is for con. she confirms massive daylight between both deals. And you know this already, but I'm just, again, humorous that we see mainstream media sort of confounded by this when it's been consistently what's been happening for months. I also know is that this would kick into effect a 60-day negotiation period where the most difficult issues still need to be discussed. Well, we know that there has been some statement that there would be an obtaining of the

Starting point is 01:28:08 the Iranian enriched uranium by the United States, that is still a detail that's yet to be determined, as well as its civilian nuclear program. Each side saying that the memorandum of understanding that they've agreed to is quite a bit different. So there's a lot of daylight in between what both sides are saying publicly, this memorandum of understanding contains. And while we've reached out to the White House for a text of it,

Starting point is 01:28:35 none has been made public thus far. And that's interesting. I hear that from everybody. There's never been like, so what they're getting is like leaked reports from different sides, but there's not been some like, you know, we both signed it and here's the document that we all stand by. What that shows me is a decision to in some way manipulate that deal for their, for Trump's benefit. Because like I've been saying, Iran has been stating and publicly releasing the same 14 points since April. And so it's pretty clear that they're standing by that.

Starting point is 01:29:05 Now, again, there could be something happening behind the scenes, but then that would be. would hurt them if they've been publicly saying this is what we believe and then they do something different. Trump, on the other hand, has been saying, I agree, I agree, and then lying and cheating and deceiving and right at this point, you know, it's, if there's this discrepancy, clearly it's in the interest of Trump to have that opening, right? Because even Mark Levine was screaming about how nobody showed this deal. How dare they? Like Israel hasn't even seen it, which I don't believe, in fact, but either way, that's the argument acting like Trump is now betraying Israel. Because clearly he's America first, right, guys? It's pretty crazy.

Starting point is 01:29:38 Now here is the actual points. Excuse me, here are the actual points. Now, this is, this was released on the 14th at the end of the day. But as of today, which will actually get to the Reuters article, kind of breaking it down in general, this is, these are correct. The issue is whether or not Trump and his team are going to abide by it. This is from Iranian media released a short version of the 14 points that they've, you know, again, this is the same thing you've been seeing the entire time.

Starting point is 01:30:08 permanent and immediate halt of all war fronts, including Lebanon, a U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran's internal affairs and to respect their sovereignty, which they can agree to that, but they never will, the complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days. Now, that's what's interesting because that was the original point. But remember, on the 14th, Trump had to reach out to get them to stop because Israel bombed Lebanon. And so what he said was immediate then. We'll give it to you right now.

Starting point is 01:30:37 That was a concession he gave. that's not what's happening. But either way, the removal would blockade. A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from the areas surrounding Iran, which is, guys, that's terms of, they're never going to agree to that. That's every base. What is that? Like 50 bases around Iran?

Starting point is 01:30:52 It says the reopening of the Strait of Ramos within 30 days under Iranian arrangements, meaning their control and their toll. That's what that means. The suppression, or excuse me, the suspension of oil sanctions, petrochemical products, and derivatives, and Iran's full access to its financial process. proceeds. Well, I find here is about humorous about this. No matter which one you look at today, they've just spent the last so many months telling you that they're terrorists and monsters and they hate your freedom and they want to kill every Jew and they want to, oh, and the worst monsters

Starting point is 01:31:22 ever. And then what we're going to make a deal with them and give them proceeds and their money and they're going to control the straight. How does that make sense? The point is you must see by now that their narratives are always hyperbolic. You know, when they turn Renee Good and Preddy into monster terrorist mercenaries and none of it's true or any of the is what they do every single time. In this case, you have to recognize that this is them conceding. But if you believe their original narratives, that's got to be pretty upsetting. Because now they're making deals with terrorists or however they wanted to frame that. The requirement for the U.S. and its allies, number seven, to present reconstruction plans

Starting point is 01:31:58 for Iran worth at least $300 billion. It's just crazy. 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on the nuclear issues, meaning that nuclear won't even be coming into the conversation until 30 to 60 days, like we've been telling you since April, like Iran has been saying. And that Trump said, no way, no how. And then here we are. Iran's reiteration of its commitment under the nuclear proliferation treaty not to produce nuclear weapons.

Starting point is 01:32:25 Okay. So do the same thing you've always been doing. Good. We win. The release of $24 billion of their frozen funds, which is really frustrating. people for obvious reasons. You can't spend months telling us how bad Obama's thing was and how they gave the money to do the exact same thing. And in fact, with $300 billion for the reconstruction, a hell of a lot more. That's why they're trying to hide that under some coalition and some idea

Starting point is 01:32:48 of rebuilding the Middle East. You're still giving them $300 billion. And it's kind of come from at least some degree from Americans, as much as they're going to hide that. Now, what's important here is the funds here, like I was saying, is that this is money that was stolen from Iran and they're giving back, just like with Obama. Now, what's hilarious is all these people that were trying to shout you down for saying that and saying Obama paid them, gave them their, you know, conceded and gave up money, are now going to have to admit it wasn't because they want to make sure you see that with Trump. But no, we just gave them back what was theirs in order to get the deal.

Starting point is 01:33:23 And Trump won. He's a legend. They just, these are the children in the room, guys. And I'm telling you, it's not the majority of the conversation right now. The final agreement will be approved through the UN Security Council resolution. I just, that's a long way down the line. And I doubt that we'll get there because of Israel and because this is not what they want. Final negotiations will not begin before half of Iran's frozen funds are released. Israel's oil sanctions are suspended and the Iran's oil sanctions suspended and Naval

Starting point is 01:33:50 Act 8 is flipped it. So what they're saying is they upfront $12 billion. And as I understand it, guys, that's already happened. Can't confirm that, but that's the reporting. And we'll get to that in a second. But they've agreed to these. of the pillars here. And now what we're getting, even for Israeli media, is that $12 billion has gone to Iran through, I think it was Qatar, I'll get to in a second. And then the rest of it

Starting point is 01:34:12 will come once they actually finish the agreement. Now, this is what I find absolutely embarrassing and hilarious. What did Trump say on the 12th? Trump says Iran leaked deal terms that were untrue. They were disloyal and whatever the words were he was using. Remember that? Yeah, all that time ago on the 12th? Here was what he pointed to. This is on 12th. Can you guess whether they're different or not? It's identical, guys. Immediate permanent secession from all places, including Lebanon. I mean, here, I should just, you could literally keep these side by side. You could look at these back and forth. They're identical. A commitment by the United States, not to interfere with Iran's affairs, complete lifting of the blockade, a commitment by the United States to withdraw its forces from

Starting point is 01:34:53 Iran, reopening the straight under Iran's arrangements. It's identical. Suspension of the sanctions. I mean, guys, Trump came out and screamed that was fake news. And now they're agreeing to the same thing. You just got to laugh at how dumb that is, how much wasted time that is, all for this man's ego. Now, as Rubin here points out, Trump is creating a Temu JCPOA, kind of a fake. It's like that, what is it, that website. That's basically like a cheap version of the JCPOA. That's what people are pointing out.

Starting point is 01:35:29 And they're not wrong, guys. Now, I'm never going to say that the JCPOA was necessarily like in the interest of any, I mean, bottom line is, there's always things going on around all of this, both from Iran's government than anybody others. Governments are not honest, in my opinion. But what ultimately matters is that what you can prove is that they were kept under 4% according to at least their narratives, that they did not seek a nuclear weapon despite what everybody screams about on Trump's side, and that they gave them the money back that they stole from them. And effectively did this with no, as Obama would point out, grudging league, because I think Obama's a monster.

Starting point is 01:36:04 The point is they did this without killing Americans. They did this without wasting money. I mean, it's just, you can't pretend like these things are even comparable. And so, as we just read to you, what ultimately Trump is doing is a weaker version of, you know, I wouldn't even call a weaker version. You have to understand that Trump is conceding almost everything. He's giving up all the points. And then essentially what appears to be making a deal that doesn't even restrict their nuclear program.

Starting point is 01:36:29 It's just incredible, we'll get to that with the Reuters article. But here's Chris Martinson. Well, first Daniel says, we'll reserve judgment until President Trump reveals the terms he's tied the United States to. But so far, all we have is his claims that it's better than Obama's deal. But his reaction to Senator Reid saying the deal was worse than Obama, here's what he said. Senator Jack Reed, a Democrat. How embarrassing. Lied when stated the deal we just made was not as good as the Obama disaster, known as the JCPOA.

Starting point is 01:36:57 I mean, guys, even no matter what you think about it, it was a successful deal. It happened. They agreed and they maintained it until Trump ruined it, claiming they were seeking a bomb, and you can now still prove they weren't. That's how simple that becomes. And he, that's the disaster. He says, read is either an outright fraud or incompetent. He says the Obama deal was a road to the nuclear weapon for Iran. It wasn't. Cash and all, I mean, they could still be doing something, but that was not. It was in fact a hindrance to that very point. They would have had to secret it somewhere else, which was not a road to. it. It was a hindrance to it. Deals, then he goes on to say, and cash and all, as he's now giving him the same thing and more. One of the worst and dumbest, hence Democrats. God, it's embarrassing. Deals ever made by the United States. Our deal is a wall against Iran, never having a nuclear weapon.

Starting point is 01:37:50 Guys, that's not at all what it is, in fact. Let's go through right now. Chris Martinson says, best guess, Trump is vaccine injured. Here's Hegsafe, talking about the Obama deal. here's how he rationalizes that this is better somehow. Are you keeping the force posture in place through the 60 days of negotiations and beyond? Oh, we'll make sure the military option is there. And that's the big difference between this and that was a non-answer, right? The point was he doesn't know what to say because it's not clear whether they're supposed to move it now or immediately start now and do it in 30 days or whatever dumb thing he's saying. but we'll keep the military option.

Starting point is 01:38:33 The real point is what he's saying about his, why it's so much better than JCPOA. Oh, we'll make sure the military option is there. And that's the big difference between this and JCPOA and the way Obama did it. Obama, they begged Iran for a deal. Not really, guys. I mean, that's just simply not true.

Starting point is 01:38:50 They had a long, long negotiation and ultimately conceded on both sides. I mean, it's just not about taking sides. You could look this stuff up for yourself. And we bombed Iran. and then put in a blockade and then ran ships through and then have restarted when necessary to ensure that they come to the table for a great deal. So our military posture will be whatever it needs to be.

Starting point is 01:39:13 So your response is just that it's great because you said so? Very convincing. And your argument is that we wasted munitions and American lives and money in order to gain nothing and then offered them something that makes us pretend we win where you lost everything. and that is fundamentally less than what the JCPOA is. But we bomb them, though. So right guys, we're the best. Maybe he even thinks that.

Starting point is 01:39:36 Sure, they're compelled over this 60 days through the memorandum of understanding that they live up to what they said they would do. Of course, that's after you give them $1 billion, right? Document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. They never want it to do, and they haven't this entire time. So it's important to always make that clear, especially for people that are new to the conversation.

Starting point is 01:39:57 because they're going to tout this like, we stop them, we did it. Even though they never were doing so, and the evidence was like that Tulsi Gabbard told us that. And this is what we said right in the beginning of this, didn't we? That they're going to end by trying to pivot to, well, we stopped them from getting the bomb, even though, as I pointed out a thousand times on the 28, they had agreed to give up all of it. And Israel bombed them anyway, because Israel doesn't want the illusion to go away because they want Iran. They don't want this deal. Won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one.

Starting point is 01:40:27 And 60 days, there'll be negotiations to make that fine. The JCPOA said exactly that. But they didn't have the threat of military force the way that we do that Iran respects in a very way that their regime is more devastating, more devastating, excuse me, more devastated than it's ever been. Because he knows he's lost, guys. It's obvious. So they respect you? I mean, is evidence by how much they laugh at you and how literally they listen to you and how they just restant? the same, they maintain the same stance and go meet us or we don't care.

Starting point is 01:41:01 Clearly they respect you. I mean, guys, it's so obvious that they have completely expended themselves. Whether we're talking about intercept, I mean, you go down the entire list. Even in the lies about what Iran doesn't have, it's obvious that they needed to make this up to sell you on something so they could pretend to win. I honestly think they've been trying to work towards this pretend win point for half this time. Like they were aware very quickly they weren't going to get what they wanted. Then they tried to, I guess, muscle them to give some kind of concession, then realized Iran wasn't going to do that, then spent the last so many weeks trying to create this illusory win.

Starting point is 01:41:34 I really believe that. I think it's quite obvious. And so here he is trying to convince you that because we bomb them, that somehow that makes this better. No, that's a waste. Americans died for you to ultimately give up. 47 years. And that's why they're at the table. So the huge difference is we did this from a...

Starting point is 01:41:52 At the table. Is that what this is? You mean them telling you, we're not. not going to agree to anything unless you give us what we want. It's just weak, man. I mean, again, like I pointed out many times before, you could have made up a better lie than that. Meaning that he's lying anyway, why not make it a better lie?

Starting point is 01:42:08 It's just a matter. Strength, President Trump led with military might. That military might will stay as long as necessary. You know, if the blockade... Oh, yeah, as long as necessary, despite the fact that you've agreed to remove it immediately. Comes off, then you pull back and you allow shipping to flow, just like Iran needs to allow shipping to go through the straits.

Starting point is 01:42:25 but we can lead with military might. That military might will stay as long as necessary. You know, if the blockade comes off, then you pull back. If the blockade comes off, you pull back. But it's your blockade, man. You see, they get confused with their own narratives because Iran was the one stopping the street, but it's your blockade. So if the blockade stops, you back off?

Starting point is 01:42:48 What are you talking about? Like, you can clearly see that that's confusing. Who's backing off would be them. What he meant to say that if Ron stops what they're doing, that we could back off, but he conflated it because you're the one causing the blockade. Oops. And you allow shipping to flow, just like Iran needs to allow shipping to go through the straits. But we can snap that blockade back at any point, and they can't do anything about it.

Starting point is 01:43:10 Think about that. So why would they agree to it right now? If you're literally going, we'll just put it back whenever we want. Well, the agreement you just signed literally says that you will not do that. You see, they are not beholden to anything. There's nothing sacred to these people. They will violate everything. I mean, guys, historically speaking,

Starting point is 01:43:28 ever, I mean, you go back to, from the, go back to the Native Americans or anything before, they've violated every single thing they've ever almost. I mean, I shouldn't say everything. Every major treaty. And, I mean, going back to the foundation to this country, our government has largely violated, especially in modern times,

Starting point is 01:43:46 every UN resolution. Take a look for yourself. They violate everything. Peace agreements, everything, everything, because they believe they can. They do what they want. They take what they can and they force you guys to follow the rules. DropSight adds an important point to this.

Starting point is 01:44:05 According to a report by Iranian outlet, this is what we were referencing earlier. The first tranche, now, of course, it could be a lie, but it lines up with what they agreed to. The first tranche of Iranian funds released under the Reuters reported financial understanding with the UAE, I think I said Qatar, it's the UAE, has arrived in Tehran, despite repeated public denials by the U.S. And the Iranian outlet claims a private Emirati aircraft landed in Iran after bypassing regional flight restrictions carrying an initial $3 billion transfer of Iran's foreign currency assets. Flight tracking data reportedly shows the Emirati Boeing flew directly from Abu Dhabi to Iran on June 8th, June 8, citing what it describes as reliable regional international sources.

Starting point is 01:44:50 And it says this is a transfer as part of a broader agreement under which the UAE would release 10 billion and 20 billion in Iranian funds with their reported 3 billion representing the first installment. Take it for what you will. It could be a lie from there to put Trump on his back heels or on his heels, but either way, the point would be that this is something they have agreed to. And that would be immediate. We'll come back to that in one second after this last segment. I mean, I'll just, I'll just show you really quickly that even Israel is telling that saying that that is what they're going to do. Immediately $12 billion and then come back to the rest of it if and when they meet their obligations.

Starting point is 01:45:24 Demetri points this out. Here's what Israel is pointing out, at least on times of Israel. Israel was not included in the talks over the agreement, whose reported terms have caused profound concern among Israeli officials. The deal reportedly fails to achieve any of the goals of the war that were set out by the U.S. and Israel. How do you... Good luck reconciling these two opinions,

Starting point is 01:45:46 including eliminating Iran's nuclear weapons program. So Israel's telling you, as of today, that that's not what's on the deal, which we're going to show you next, even though Heggseth and Trump and Vance and all the rest are doing the rounds going, we stopped them from a nuclear weapon. Israel is saying, no, they did not, because what they did is allow them to have access to it, which will show you. Depleting its ballistic missile stockpile, ending its support for terror proxies, creating conditions for the fall of the regime, which is what Trump said he was going to do? What did they immediately say? Their drone program, their missiles and all these different things, when they're proxies and all this stuff, we can't stop until

Starting point is 01:46:21 stop all those things. And that's not even on the table anymore. Israel's calling it out for whatever reason. I do think there's some kind of a schism here. I really do. Or it's going to split. Israeli media declared disaster has befallen the genocidal entity.

Starting point is 01:46:36 Treasury Secretary percent comes out with all that's happening, stupidly because Trump says, the deal's been made. Remember, he's a section on the 14th. And we're already showing you what's happening today. Here's a percent said yesterday. President Trump continues to make the world safer. Today, reaching a historic peace deal.

Starting point is 01:46:52 how can you even say that when all you're talking about is a memorandum of understanding, which is not a deal that hasn't even signed yet? Because they just want to lie to you, because these people are desperate for you to think they're not failing you. His leadership along with direct engagements and allies and adversaries alike will be recorded in the history books for centuries to come. Yeah, just not the way you think, bud. He's going to be in the blooper section. D.D. Geopolitics says Iran and U.S. agreed to the timeline of finalization to ensure, both sides had their preferred date. And I agree, this is so petty and stupid. I think from both sides,

Starting point is 01:47:28 quite frankly, so Iran waited until the clock passed midnight. This was between the 14th and the 15th, local time in order to finalize the agreement from their side. Why? Because it did not want the momentous occasion to coincide with, and they don't see it. I mean, they don't want Trump to see it that way on his birthday. According to Iranian officials, the seven and a half hour time difference, of course, allowed both Iran and Trump to claim that they got what they wanted. So President Trump had said it would be on Sunday and Iran said it would be the next day. So Iran waited until from their period of time it was in the next day. And Trump got it to do on his day.

Starting point is 01:48:06 Maybe that was part of the agreement. So Trump could go, we did it on my birthday. And even though that didn't even actually happen since they never even actually followed through what they claimed they would do. It just gets stupider by the day, doesn't it? Now, here is today and Reuters. what the U.S. and Iran say is in the memorandum to end the war. And this is only going to make it more laughable, guys.

Starting point is 01:48:27 All sides have said the memorandum of understanding on an end of the war will be signed on Friday. That's clear. Both sides have said negotiations on more difficult further areas of dispute, like the nuclear issue, will happen in the following 60 days. Well, then explain to me why Trump and Vance are all screaming that with the one thing we did is stop them from a nuclear weapon. Well, in fact, that's not even what it actually says down here. But they're not even discussing this until later. So they're lying to you because they need a win and they're clearly not getting it. You, and this is in the straight, Donald Trump and the straight

Starting point is 01:49:03 said the straight of Hermose would be reopened on Friday. And he had ordered a lifting of the blockade on Iranian ports. Right. So the street would be open on Friday under the argument that we would sign something that would both parties would stop whatever they were doing. But he did order a and that hasn't happened as of right now. That's going to be a point, I think. A senior Iranian official said the strait would be reopened, quote, to all commercial vessels once the memorandum was signed. So if Trump tweeted, it's open now, everybody go through,

Starting point is 01:49:34 clearly that's incorrect. Iran's semi-official Fars News agency reported that under the memorandum, marine traffic through the strait would be regulated by Iran in coordination with Oman. Well, that's completely contradictory from what Trump's team is saying. even though everybody else, all documentation are agreeing, this is what they agreed to. So you take that for what you will. Both sides have said that Iran agrees that it will neither produce nor require nuclear weapons.

Starting point is 01:50:02 A promise to Iran is made repeatedly for decades. Thank you, Reuters, for finally pointing that out. You know, so they've just simply continued to agree to what they've always said they were doing and will do. That doesn't not even include that. A senior Iranian official said, pending a final agreement, agreement, Iran would freeze its nuclear activity, refraining from further uranium enrichment or the expansion of the facilities. So as it right now, pending a agreement, they would freeze their now their current situation, which is an easy win for them because it's arguably buried in the

Starting point is 01:50:36 enrichment facility and they don't have that. It's like something that they were already willing to give up in the beginning anyway. So it's a win for them to go, yeah, yeah, take the thing we didn't want that we have buried anyway. But it says a senior Iranian official said the U.S. had agreed that Iranian Iran could dilute its stockpile of highly rich uranium 60% inside Iran under a future comprehensive agreement. And this is what we're hearing from almost everybody at this point, is that they're not going to stop them from doing this. They're going to change.

Starting point is 01:51:04 They're going to allow them. Like, it'll be the JCPOA. That's what we're hearing. Now, again, I kind of doubt that's where it goes. But what's interesting is that's what people are discussing, even though you've got Trump and Vance saying, we're going to stop them. but not explicitly saying what that meant, right? In this case, what they're actually saying is that when you talk about the diluting of the stockpile,

Starting point is 01:51:25 bringing it down to a smaller percentage, as I understand it, and ultimately, that was something that they were saying to leave Iran entirely no matter what. But if they're the ones diluting it, that means they have a program, which is what it seems to be doing, is giving them a civilian program, which is what they already had. So it's the same thing. Trump said on Saturday, which was, yeah, so this last Saturday, there was no urgency to extract Iran's stockpile of nuclear material,

Starting point is 01:51:50 and that the U.S. would retrieve it when all this calm. Oh, you mean aside from killing Americans to go in and try to steal it under the guise of a rescue mission? Clearly, you tried. And on top of that, saying from day one until recently that that was the only thing you cared about, now you're going to put it on. It's all nonsense. They know there's no real issue. This is about trying to manufacture justification.

Starting point is 01:52:14 And now Trump is getting rid of this. the justification because he's clearly trying to put an end to his embarrassment, it seems. Trump said there would be a strong inspections regime for Iran under any deal. But he did not give specifics. Guys, you can't misunderstand this. If there is an inspections regime, they have a nuclear program. There it is. Again, that's Reuters, but this is coming from Trump's people.

Starting point is 01:52:40 It's coming from the internal conversations within the mediation, like the Pakistan prime minister. And so it's saying that there's an inspection regime, but this is still up in the air until something's actually signed, you understand. So it very well could be fained to get them in a certain position. Lindsay Graham said the final deal on Iran's nuclear program would have to be reviewed, approved by Congress. That is so transparent. This is the same guy that said we didn't need Congress to start the war. Suddenly, Congress matters when you want to maintain the problem. And that's not this. It's actually interesting.

Starting point is 01:53:17 You have Mark Levine doing the same thing. Seeks to undermine Trump's deal with Iran by insisting it should be a treaty that must be approved by two-thirds of the Senate. Suddenly they care about these things. That is the most transparent thing in this entire conversation. These people suddenly shifting into some constitutional perspective means that they want to keep this happening because they want Israel to take over Iran. You can't misunderstand this. Liam says constitutionalist, Mark Levine, is fine with president unilaterally. excuse me, bringing about a state of war without Congress,

Starting point is 01:53:48 but insists Congress must approve any state of peace. This is not the first time this has happened, by the way. This happened in the Syrian discussion. It's what they always do. You also have this. Mario Nelfall, suddenly going Iran, just published the 14 clauses. It's the same point they've been putting out the whole entire time. He says, read them carefully because this is not the deal Trump described.

Starting point is 01:54:10 Whoa, okay. Suddenly, this guy's challenging Trump narratives because he's, not on the America first side. Suddenly, when there's a discrepancy between Trump's team and Israel, guess which side these people take? Israel. Hormuz reopens under the Iranian arrangements, meaning Iran must keep management of the straight. Uh-oh, that's not what Trump wants you to say. It's not what all the Trump team are saying. Nine times out of ten, this guy's a blind repeating of the narrative for the team. Weird how suddenly when Israel's angry what Trump's doing, that they all side with, oh my God, Trump's lying to you. Oh, my God, look at what Trump's doing. This isn't going to work out.

Starting point is 01:54:45 How do you not see that, ladies and gentlemen? And same thing with Levine, all the rest of them. Trump and fighting and Iran all suddenly, now we're fighting against the, you can't miss that. I find that really telling guys. And again, the point is these 14, I've been telling you the same 14 points. And they just discovered them. How pretty embarrassing for a so-called journalist going forward.

Starting point is 01:55:07 The Iranian, this is under sanctions. The senior Iranian official said the U.S. had agreed not to impose any new sanctions. That rarely is the reality. a senior Iranian official said the U.S. had agreed to release $25 billion of Iran's frozen assets, including the direct cash transfers, which is I'm sure no matter what, they're going to desperately avoid cash because that's the terms for the Obama point. Palates of cash. So they can say, we didn't send pallets of cash.

Starting point is 01:55:36 Ultimately, it was some kind of electronic transfer. Watch. Or Iran might demand cash, and it'll embarrassingly do it anyway. Cooperation among regional countries. financial credit lines, prepare a reconstruction and development plan for Iran. That's the $300 billion point that they kind of casually put low.

Starting point is 01:55:53 Trump said Iran would not be provided with cash, but that sanctions could potentially be lifted. So discrepancy right there. Lebanon, Sharif said the immediate and permanent end of all military operations would include Lebanon. Another obvious discrepancy. The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said military operations would stop permanently

Starting point is 01:56:15 on Monday night, including Lebanon. Well, Monday right now. Now, remember, on 14th, they said all of it, and that was a concession. So at the very least, Iran is simply allowing these things to hope, you know, right now, Iran, if they wanted to, could say, well, you already broke this, we're done. They could because they did. Clearly, Iran is wanting this to end and is aware that they're in a position of strength. And so I think this is kind of, if they carry forward with this, it'll become even more clear

Starting point is 01:56:41 who is violating it. We'll see what happens over the next few days. But the truth is that Monday night is an extension from what was already agreed to. So that's Iran allowing that, as far as I can tell. Iran's forward minister Abbas Argi said there must be a complete halt to Israeli attacks against Lebanon and the U.S. bears responsibility for implementing that framework. So they're putting it on them. Now, Eric Daugherty on the 15th comes out and says,

Starting point is 01:57:11 Justin, Iran did not get what they wanted in President Trump's deal. Guys, people are such clowns. The U.S. is not leaving the region. Iran is getting zero and unfrozen assets unless they comply. Guys, literally right now, Israel is telling you the U.S. is releasing $12 billion right now. The United States will release $12 billion right now before the start of negotiations. The document published by Merr stipulates the release of $24 billion by the end of the negotiations, which means the $12 billion, which apparently three already went to Iran, is immediate.

Starting point is 01:57:44 And instead, this guy just repeats what he's hearing on Fox News and what Trump said, which you guys already know, it's just worth ridicule. These people are absolute, I mean, they're sock puppets, guys. Muppets. A straight of Hormuz is set to open fully on Friday. I guess we'll find out, even though it was agreed that would be immediate. And that was stated before. But so you can listen to this guy in his weird robot voice while he's speaking to people on Fox News

Starting point is 01:58:10 about how clearly this is all, you know, it's either way, guys, this is the narrative they want to sell out front when right behind the surface, you can already see those things aren't happening. But, you know, those like Eric and Alex and all the rest we meant, these people will never give you the truth. They give you what they want you to hear.

Starting point is 01:58:26 Keep fighting that deep state. And again, that's what's funny. He just said in the 14th, opens immediately. Then the 15th, he says, opens on Friday without any deep, any discrepancy, no pointing out, I was incorrect.

Starting point is 01:58:40 And here's why. Nope. They just jumped to the next narrative. that's all they do. And they scream whatever Trump just said. Even times of Israel was saying they're going to release $12 billion. How is that a win for Trump? You gave them $12 billion or you're going to or you gave them three or eventually 24.

Starting point is 01:58:56 That is very clearly what you keep criticizing about Obama. Here's what J.D. Vance said this morning. Again, remembering that they allegedly already sent money and that even Israel is telling you that they've agreed to give them $12 billion right up front. But Vance comes out and lies to you. He signed the deal digitally yesterday and there's been no money released and that won't change. As far as I know, they did not sign anything digitally. That was the original narrative that Trump said, no, no, never mind, it'll be digitally. And then Iran said, nope, we're not going to do that on your birthday.

Starting point is 01:59:31 Then apparently they agreed to something and they said, we'll sign on Friday. But here he is. Who knows why, guys. It's just so ridiculous. Yesterday and there's been no money released and that won't change. No money released and that won't change, George again. signed the deal digitally yesterday and there's been no money released and that won't change george again this is a performance based thing if we see the iranians making for example taking action to eliminate

Starting point is 01:59:56 their stockpile of enriched material oh you mean the very thing that you already admitted won't even need to be discussed until 60 days from now so by that logic 60 days from now is when things will eventually start happening i mean there's no way to square this circle guys like this is just not reality and i mean i think they know they're lying to you right now. Vance, no, as he's lying to you, they're cornered. Then yes, sanctions relief will follow. If we see the Iranians taking action to allow the kind of verification regime that we need to see to know that they're not going to build a nuclear weapon, yes, sanctions relief will follow. So this is really about walking down a pathway here where the Iranians will be welcomed into the world economy if they do. Oh, you mean the terrorists.

Starting point is 02:00:40 the women murdering, child raping, terrorist monsters that even telling us or want to kill us for our freedom, oh, we'll welcome into the world community because they gave us money or whatever. That's actually the reverse, but because we made a deal. I mean, how can you take that at face value? How can you go on arguing these are the worst people alive that want to kill you for everything, you want to steal from you, and Muslims are the worst thing ever, which they're all telling you, but now good, because deal. You have to be able to recognize that they've been lying about all those things to get you

Starting point is 02:01:10 in a position where you accepted whatever they gave you, what they do every day. Do the right thing. And George, we have to remember their economy is fundamentally destroyed. Their nuclear program is fundamentally destroyed. If they don't do the right things. Neither of those things are actually true. Yes, they've clearly attacked many locations in the nuclear discussion and understood that, as I understand it, did demolish the enrichment facility, which by the way, actually hurts their narrative today because it shows you they wouldn't even be able to enrich it should they want to right now. But their economy is not destroyed. it's very, very hindered, but they still have, you know,

Starting point is 02:01:44 the point is that they want to show you that they're somehow ineffectual, that their Navy doesn't exist, they can't function whatsoever. That's not true. They've actually been able to maintain almost all of this stuff, despite all they've done, but they dramatically lowered their currency, which hurt individual Iranians. That's true.

Starting point is 02:02:02 But it's just important to hear, you know, the Navy point Trump's been saying since the first three days, we can all clearly see. They still have naval, And not just one, plenty, maintaining what they're doing in the street because they put them in canals under the mountains, which Robert had exposed right in the beginning. And they put out documents for videos about before this. Or they're, I mean, every other part of it, guys, they've been lying to you. And you must know.

Starting point is 02:02:25 If they don't allow the verification regime, they're never going to have the money to rebuild their nuclear program to begin with. So this is fundamentally. The money that you swore isn't happening, though. So, but if they do the thing you said, then they will have the money to rebuild their nuclear program. but you said that would never happen. Wow. A win-win for the American people. What the president has said is he wants it to be a win for the Iranian people as well,

Starting point is 02:02:51 but that requires some real trust. Yeah, after they murder the girls' school and bomb the Bayru, you know, or rather the Tehran suburbs and, you know, continue to bond their water and their bridges and all their infrastructure, but we care about the Iranian people. Trust us. Cross building and some real positive conduct from the Iranian political system. We're going to see if that happens. If it does, they're absolutely going to find the President of the United States and the entire team a willing partner to make their country more

Starting point is 02:03:18 prosperous. Right. So yeah, honest engagement with the political process. What he means by that is that people get into positions of power that we agree with. Otherwise, we can't abide it. Hashtag democracy. They're just such utter frauds. And thank God, it seems people in this country are starting to recognize that. Now, if a performance-based agreement, even though you're already getting money, and even though we've already told you you can have concessions, even though they're lying about that. And on top of that,

Starting point is 02:03:44 there's already people seemingly giving them sanctions relief. This seems to be up in the air at the moment, but as I understand it, UK, France, Germany, Italy seem to be ready to do this before they get to Friday. So it just seems like everything they're selling you right now is about trying to frame it as somehow they are winning when nobody seems to believe that.

Starting point is 02:04:03 Matt Stoller points out the same thing we're going to hear forever. First of all, this guy Michael McFaulose, Trump is giving autocrats in Toronto, Iran, $25 billion, which is humorous since now these are people, this is my point. This is the Zionist side who pretends to be America First,

Starting point is 02:04:17 who are outraged that Trump's doing a thing that Trump said he's not doing. You got to love that. Why? Because they're listening to Israel. And Israel's admitting to them that they are doing it. Trump's trying to hide that from Americans.

Starting point is 02:04:27 And so now you get the Zionist side of the fake America First creep going, how dare you give the thing that you don't want them to know you're giving them? Because they're giving it to them. And it's hilarious because, as he says, you're giving these autocrats millions of billions of dollars. Well, nope, they're giving them money that we,

Starting point is 02:04:43 the U.S. government, stole from them. That's the truth. Releasing frozen assets means what giving them money that they stole from them. But I'd argue McFalden knows that. This is just how you frame the game. Guys, why Obama gave them all that money, he supports terrorism. They probably, they all do. They funded it in armed Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Starting point is 02:05:01 Easy to look up. Easy to prove. But point is, in this case, it wasn't like that. They were giving them money they stole. But you're going to get this from people pretending to support Trump. This is hard to listen to. I'm not even familiar with her, Deb Fisher, Republican, Nebraska. I don't know why they trotted her out to do this.

Starting point is 02:05:20 Just let it play. You can read the statement, but I'll show you afterward. This woman is out of her depth. Let's remember the president's negotiating now from a position of strength. Iran is weak. We have gone in. We've showed the strength of American. of America and now the president's able to negotiate from a position of strength this time.

Starting point is 02:05:46 It's not, it's not going in and just acquisition to what the Iranians want. I think she meant acquiescing to what they want. She'll get there. Answer your colleagues like Congress or Senator Reid, who say this came at an enormous cost, that we did need to do this. We had the JCPOA. There was a way to stop their program diplomatically. And now we've had enormous cost financially, but more importantly, American lives as well. The American lives lost is a tragedy. But we have to be a... But anything they say before the word but means nothing. ...able to negotiate from a position of strength. We didn't do that. Oh, you clearly care.

Starting point is 02:06:28 American life is a tragedy, but we need to do what we're going to do anyway. So that means you didn't care. That's just a piece. That's that's gaslighting, right? That's just lip service. We care, but we're going to do this thing anyway, even though what we do means we don't care. It's just ridiculous. So the point is, we need a position to negotiate from position of strength. That's the furthest thing from where they currently are.

Starting point is 02:06:52 But in their minds, apparently by just being able to bomb what we want, that's strength. That's how they might see it, actually. But that means that they're willing to kill Americans to be able to feign strength so they can get something out of the negotiation. So what that means, even by her statements, or that American lives are simply tools to be used to negotiate for their outcome. That is literally how they see us.

Starting point is 02:07:15 With the JCPOA, I was not a supporter of the JCPOA. Or Ron played us on that. And we ended up really repeating lazily without any insight what they're saying. They played us and it was a fake deal and they got what they want to remember. Position of strength. It's like Higgs-Seth said. Sending pallets of cash to them. I doubt that that's going to happen under President Trump.

Starting point is 02:07:39 Well, okay, I want to... But let's remember... That's apparently literally what's happening. But see, she was clearly trotted out with a... But, you know, what was I supposed to say again? Like Riley Gaines. What are my thoughts again? Oh, that's right.

Starting point is 02:07:51 Strength and negotiation and pallets of cash. It's like the same old narratives. I mean, why do you think they trotted her out? I think it's because people are embarrassed right now. The usual suspects are like, I don't want to go out and talk about this because we all look dumb. So get the lady who does,

Starting point is 02:08:05 even know what's happening right now. Go out and say the things we want you to say. We'll give you a little bonus. Like a little Trump will get you in the administration next time. That's how this game is played. Jeremy Schahill, just to point out another administration failure, points out what Ambassador Tom Brock says. A heartfelt thank you to Qatar for its enduring support and remarkable courage in standing with America, he says, and points to this post. Trump says Carter deserves praise and credit must be given. and the Qataris helped us with a great deal in this agreement. Well, that's a clip from October 2025 and has no relation to the current deal.

Starting point is 02:08:44 This is an actual member of Trump's administration. And as Jeremy Skael says, it's remarkable that a top U.S. official dealing with the Middle East is promoting a clip from October 2025 relating to the Gaza ceasefire deal, which Israel violates daily right now, and appears to believe it's about the current Iran negotiations. I just, we are dealing with the dumbest administration and his. history. You know, Christine Ome and their South America gaff are all these different examples of these people that don't even understand the most basic things that people in junior high understand right now. Now, the 300 billion point, Brian Rosbiani points to south, the GCC countries to pay 300 billion dollars. Now, what he's going to try to tell you, first of all, is that this is something that's not about giving them money and Americans won't be involved. I don't believe that for a second,

Starting point is 02:09:31 for many reasons. One of which is that the, even if it comes directly from the Middle East coalition, which you ask yourself if it was, why would they be paying for what the U.S. forced them to be involved in and got them bombed for what they did to Iran? You think they're going to be okay with that? Now, really, it's going to come to some kind of weird, you know, like a laundering situation, in my opinion, where ultimately they use them as some kind of coalition front to then present this money that is ultimately going to come from exactly the sources we think it will, which will include American tax dollars.

Starting point is 02:10:00 That's my opinion. Friday and beyond, we'll find out. you could look back at my discussion points guys i mean representing our value in the show we have a great track record of being able to see what things you know where things go and i will always point out my opinion versus what i can prove watch we'll see what happens jd vans u.s vice president the 300 billion dollar reconstruction fund is something they can access as long as they fulfill their commitments well even that alone guys shows you that they're talking about giving them money to rebuild what they did to them, even though you just got them telling us they were terrorists and

Starting point is 02:10:35 monsters and Jew haters and that we have to get rid of them because they're going to kill their neighbors and all this stuff. But let us help you rebuild your country. You know, no matter how you frame this, it is a, like, Iran completely worked them this entire time. Again, if it ends up this way, they could bomb them for all we know. But as of right now, and I guess based on this kind of reporting, they're probably going to change what they do because this is an utter and obvious failure for this administration. And all they're trying to do is trot Vance out there to argue it's a win

Starting point is 02:11:05 when we all know that it's exactly what you said wouldn't happen. Some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're going to have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, true or false? Well, Ed, that's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition. Okay. That's right there.

Starting point is 02:11:26 Done. if you're already telling us that Iran, if they agree to what you were saying, which is things they've already agreed to, so that means yes, which is like no nuclear weapons, they've never tried to seek, then you're going to give them money to rebuild what you cause damage for in their country. And if you somehow are able to kick this off to other countries, all you're showing is that the U.S. government will never follow through with its agreements. It will never actually hold up what it is obligated to do.

Starting point is 02:11:50 You'll force other countries to pay for things you did. You fail. You break the law. you kill people and then force other countries to pay them back so you don't look like the one who has to concede. That is the weakest thing in this entire conversation. And everybody sees through that. If that's how it goes, I get the sense that you're going to get a hell of a lot more pushback

Starting point is 02:12:09 from this coalition than they think. And so long as they honor their end of the obligation, I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed, and people have to be skeptical of this, is that the hardliners in the Iranian system will over-emphasize the benefits that Iran gets, while under-emphasize, all the things that they have to concede. Oh, and what's that? Really? What's that, Vans?

Starting point is 02:12:30 Now, first of all, there are clearly hardliners, just like there are, like, undeniably hardliners in this entire administration, like almost all of them, it seems. But what's funny, though, is that what he's trying to say, no matter who you're talking about, whether hardliners or not,

Starting point is 02:12:43 is that they're, of course, going to act like, like even if Iran technically lost, yes, they're going to stand up and say they won, just like you're doing right now. That's what it is. It's more projection than anything else. But that's irrelevant.

Starting point is 02:12:54 The point is what you're trying to do is undermine them highlighting what you gave them. And somehow that first they have to concede all these things. And so what you're doing, though, is saying the thing we gave them that we swore we would never give them, it makes sense because now they're conceding things. Okay, you might take that. But you first have to acknowledge that you still promise this would never happen. So whatever the why it explains it is still you changing what you said you would do. But even then, what are they conceding? The same things that they've always, always been conceding.

Starting point is 02:13:24 So this is an illusion by the Trump administration. The streets open. No nuclear weapon. Look at how much they gave up. Well, nothing. That's what that really amounts to. And they get what they want from it. It's an illusion. And all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits.

Starting point is 02:13:41 So we absolutely are open to the Gulf Coast countries investing in the reconstruction of Iran. In the reconstruction of Iran. What a flimsy sidestep investing. This is a reconstruction fund for things that you destroy. So you're forcing them to invest to rebuild what you destroyed. No one's going to buy that. Now, again, in the chat, somebody says, Maga doesn't see through this. I disagree.

Starting point is 02:14:05 Unless what you're saying is fake MAGA, because fake MAGA are the people that I argue don't care to see through it. They'll support whatever Trump says no matter what. I think there's a grouping of people that are in the middle of that, that may not see it. But we're talking self-interest here, guys. Trump promised his people a no-er-on war, no wars in general, lesser government, smaller spending. None of that's happening. So unless we believe that most people in this country don't care about their own interests, we must be able to acknowledge that the majority of that group

Starting point is 02:14:32 is aware that they've been lied to. Now, who's just saying whether they speak up about that or not? But I do not think for a second the majority of that group are believing they got what they wanted because guess what? They know they didn't get what they wanted. That's got to be pretty simple for people. only if Iran ends their nuclear program, ends their enriched stockpile of material. All of which they were already doing and already agreed to well before we got here, even before this, even back to the JCPOA, by the way. And it was really open to an inspections and enforcement regime. That's the other one, just like before.

Starting point is 02:15:06 And just like they agreed to on the 28th. So again, nothing. They've gained nothing. They've lost a whole bunch of things and framed the original things they were given as what they gained through all of this, and they're lying to you. The American people confidence they're never going to have a nuclear weapon. So I think the dance you're going to see, Ed, which is going to be interesting, is the Iranian media, especially the hardline media. They're going to talk a lot about what they get without talking about what they give.

Starting point is 02:15:31 It's important for all of us to correct that record. Yeah, and he goes on to point these things out. So what they give is what? No nuclear program, enrichment up, straights open. Same things. I'm telling you guys. I know I'm there. I always get pushed back on this,

Starting point is 02:15:47 but if you truly think that most people who didn't want these things are somehow going to support them because Trump says, it's, I mean, it's like any other conversation you can have anywhere. People want things. That's why they engage with this process. They believe these people will bring them things that they want.

Starting point is 02:16:02 Maybe we disagree on what those things are. But nobody got what they wanted. Like, this is just objectively clear. There's a grouping that will always side with the team on either side. But that, I mean, the reality is of a huge grouping of people, whatever you think it is, if you think it's the minority, then so be it.

Starting point is 02:16:18 But that's the real MAGA movement. The people who wanted to make this country great again by what they were promised that they never got and are now calling it out. I mean, we're talking major people on this side of this. Now, whether they're honest about what they want or not, is irrelevant in this point. Major people at the top of this that recognized

Starting point is 02:16:35 that's where it was going and spoke up and said Trump lied to us a long time ago too. I just find it so confounding that people want to believe the lies, the two-party illusion spins for us. The division tactics. They want you to think all Democrats are pink-haired pedophile. They want you to think that all Republicans are red hat, Nazi, fashion. They want that from you.

Starting point is 02:16:56 If you fall into that, you're playing into their hands. Now, as he says, as long as they fulfill their commitments, which are the things they've already agreed to a long time ago, they've effectively lost this. and as rapid response, the White House account points to Trump's true social, saying Barack Hussein Obama's deal with Iran, the JCPA was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to nuclear weapons. You know why he's so aggressively talking about this

Starting point is 02:17:24 over the last week? Because he knew this is where it was going. Apparently gave them money in the first week of June. So he knew that you were going to eventually swing back around and go, you're a hypocrite because you gave the money. So he spent the last week building this narrative about why this was so different. they really don't think we can see through these things.

Starting point is 02:17:43 But as Truth, Turnbull points out, this is hilarious to me. This was on the 13th of June. Trump strangely claims that Obama gave Iran hundreds of billions, which he did not. I think it was, what was it seven?

Starting point is 02:17:57 I forget the, give me the chat. If you remember exact amount, it was under 10 billion or 10 billions. I forget what it was. It was not even close to the mouth they're talking about. But strangely claims Obama gave Iran hundreds of billions of dollars. He goes,

Starting point is 02:18:08 which is how you know, that Trump has agreed to give Iran hundreds of billions of dollars. And look at that. He turned out to be exactly right. Because now we're talking about a $300 billion construction fund. And apparently, that's why he's lying about what they gave back then. I agree with him. It's his opinion, but I 100% agree with that. It's so transparent to me. And here we are. And this is interesting, by the way. This is what Janice girl was pointing out with what Mel said. And I agree with this. The point is the narrative we're discussing today. What she's saying is that the idea that Trump is actually going to follow through seems insanely unlikely. That's what I've been saying too.

Starting point is 02:18:44 I don't think, I think that there's going to be some discrepancy, whether it's Israel stopping it or Trump lying about all of it to get them in a certain position. I just don't see a world in which that happened. It's certainly possible. Out of absolute desperation, as, you know, I don't know what the percentage I put on it. But my mind is this is going to be something that Trump agrees to and tries to get some kind of middle ground and then finds a narrative for why has to either be delayed or they violated something so it can't happen and then ends up in this like middle limbo ground where they're technically not in a war so he won but now we're debating this for the next two years like that's an easy way to drag this out that's what i think so here's

Starting point is 02:19:21 what mel said trump is not going to give 300 billion dollars to iran just stop he doesn't have the power to give them that much money well again the argument is they are some kind of weird sidestep from congress and coalition and some you know it's not the usual process is what it seems to be. But we don't have all the details. Congress holds the power of the purse, remember? Yeah, but you know, that's, I agree with her argument, but that's, they, do you think they care about? I don't think they care at all. I think Trump, if you wanted to, would do any number of things that are illegal, unconstitutional. I think we've seen that. But I do agree with their general sentiment. I actually don't think that's where this goes.

Starting point is 02:19:56 So unless you somehow con the Iranian and then accepting Trump coins, there's literally zero reason he can get this to work. Now, even if Iran knew he couldn't deliver, they would still agree, because then it would set him up for failure. So, you know, worth pointing that out too. But Janice Girl follows this and says, Mel is 100% correct. This hysteria over false claims of Iran, Trump giving Iran $300 billion is playing right into Mark Levine's

Starting point is 02:20:18 and Ben Shapiro's propaganda to sabotage the deal. Guarantee that any attempt to return sanctioned Iranian assets will be falsely repackaged by the Husbarra as taxpayer money. The current narrative is setting everyone up for it. Now, I do believe that some of this will be taxpayer money if it happens. That's my opinion, only because I don't see a world in which the coalition or anybody else is going to be a willing participant in just extortion or whatever you would call, just giving up their money to appease what Trump did. But I think the original

Starting point is 02:20:51 statement is the best is that I don't think it happens at all because of those dynamics, because I don't see how we can get it without giving us our money or giving up, you know, giving up U.S. money. And then at the same point, how he would functionally do that through this broken process. Doesn't mean it's not possible, though. So I felt that was important to include because I think they make excellent points. We'll see where it goes. Like I think a larger point of all this is that it's built in order to cause, to get them to a place where he can pretend he won and then stretch it out,

Starting point is 02:21:16 or for something much worse, which is what they've done every time before, which is lull them into a place of a deal and then bomb people, assassinate people. It's what they do. Here's X-Seth in regard to the straight. Pretty embarrassing as usual. I think your viewers need to remember. Project Freedom never stopped. we've run 125 million barrels of oil through the straits in Iran.

Starting point is 02:21:40 Not true. Couldn't do anything about it. How many ships from Iran have transit our blockade? Zero. Not true. Again, you could literally prove this with GPS. China has been there verifiably running multiple ships through there and the U.S. didn't do anything about it.

Starting point is 02:21:55 And many of the ships that the U.S. tried to secret through were bombed and stopped. As far as I could tell, they didn't get any of those things through. The whole idea of a hundred million barrels or whatever the thing Trump said or the 10 ships from before, none of that happens as far as I can tell. And they would very surely be proving this to you if they could. Ship names and everything. They did not. Zero.

Starting point is 02:22:14 We have controlled the straits this entire time. You're going to negotiate with them to immediately and gradually. So, okay. How embarrassing, right? So if you heard what she said, which is true. So we've controlled the straight the entire time. But you're negotiating right now for them to open the straight. So if you have to negotiate for them to open it, then how are you in control?

Starting point is 02:22:34 Yeah. you're a moron, right? You just trap yourself. But I honestly think it's not about even trap. I do think these people aren't good at this. But I think it's more about the fact that he's put in there with a narrative. Here's what you have to say. And he's a yes man follower. So he says it. But then these people ask questions that put him on his back on his heel and he doesn't know how to respond. That's what you get. It's pretty sad. But I don't know how you can't see through this right now. If you're if that's you out there. The Herrout's letter or Hermu's letter says Iran says the U.S. has agreed. This is 15th. in the morning to permanently hand over

Starting point is 02:23:08 the Strait of Vermeuse to Iran under their full sovereign authority with Iran collecting tolls called service fees from all commercial ships after the 60-day waiver period opening is planned for Friday after the signing.

Starting point is 02:23:21 So here's one interesting anomaly is that maybe Trump was hoping that they would stop and that's why he promised to stop a blockade now, which apparently is not doing yet, that they would have a 60-day window where there wouldn't be Iran's toll

Starting point is 02:23:33 just yet. And so Trump could pretend like he got it back open immediately. And we did it and we're open and then try to deviate that next step. But what's interesting is that it seems as of right now, or at least when I started, Centcom was not stopping. And I wonder if that's a, like, is Trump ordering it to happen and it's not happening? Maybe not. Maybe he just lied to them. But that's one consideration I have. It says, with pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10 billion plus dollars in annual revenue.

Starting point is 02:24:04 for Iran and comes on top of $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran. Very interesting. Now, Menthols Sint points this out, I think is very relevant. And this speaks to at least one piece of evidence that suggests that this is already taking effect. U.S. Navy MC4C. Triton high altitude surveillance UAV before the war, going back and forth through the strait. Now after, and this is as of yesterday, after they signed or at least stated they were going to sign, whatever this was, suddenly no longer going through the strait.

Starting point is 02:24:39 Now, there could be another explanation, but it's interesting. And as he says here, Iran even took control, and it's as rightfully as it is their territory waters, which is true, of the airspace over the Strait of Ramoos. This is from Iran. So to me, that lines up. Suddenly they claim they've got control of the airspace and the area, and then almost instantly you see their drones start going a different way. I'm telling you guys, we're being lied to by this administration who is bowing in many

Starting point is 02:25:03 ways to the interest. They, they need, I think, they desperately won a way out. And they're going to get, just like the Islamabad discussion before. I think they offered to give them everything and then something got in the way of that. That's what I think anyway. And so here we are again, where Trump's giving them the exact 14 memorandum points. They've asked for us since April and they're still lying about it. But things are changing. We'll see you on Friday, I guess. Or what happens in between? Saeed Mohammed Morandi says, if the Zionist regime does not abide by the cease. fire, ships and tankers will not pass through the strait. Now, he's not directly, you know, the Iranian government, but he isn't tied in.

Starting point is 02:25:42 He is a kind of informal spokesperson for them, as it seems to me. And he's been pretty much correct about this. And what he's saying is that if they do not stop bombing Lebanon, the straight will shut down entirely for everybody. And that will go right back to square one. And as of right now, this was posted at 6 a.m. As of right now, they're still bombing Lebanon. Ryan Rosbiani points out, and this is again on the 15th, confirmed Iran will in fact charge a toll through the strait, which again, you know, but they're publicly saying this, so at least they think that's what Trump agreed to, saying they'll control the entire area, there'll be a pay, a fee, and don't forget if you still don't know this, this is how every other piece of every other street and canal operates, if it's not international waters, which this is not. the choke point, you can prove it.

Starting point is 02:26:30 There's no international waters. It's Oman or Iran. And so in other locations like the Suez Canal or it's controlled and there's a fee, it's the same thing. This is just never going to allow for Iran. And so now they're officially taking this as they're right, as they see it. And remember, this was not even on the table for Iran either until they assassinated Kamini and sabotage the deals. And this was even in the beginning of this, they weren't doing this in regard to like saying

Starting point is 02:26:54 we're going to take over entirely. They pushed them too far and they said, now we're taking over the strait. not going back, and they stood by that. How you can ever see that as them as weakness, and they stood by taking control, and they've maintained it ever since, and they've never changed their stance on the points, they've at least think they have control.

Starting point is 02:27:11 Ghalibov, the Iran Speaker of the Parliament, spoke up today and says, victory for Iran. He says, beloved and tall, statured people of Iran, with your historic resistance and valor of the armed forces against those who sought the life of this nation, and the destruction and surrender of this homeland, Iran took a great step forward to find a victory. They wanted to, but they couldn't in regard to the U.S.

Starting point is 02:27:35 We stand firm and in our end, Iran will triumph on the grace of God. Well, I guess we'll find out. I mean, I can see a world in which the narrative would, you know, the propaganda would necessitate him pretending to win, but everything seems to be pointing in a pretty clear direction right now. Rokana came out and said this yesterday. The ceasefire agreement with Iran with the opening of the Strait of Vermus is welcome news. Democrats should support it. I'm glad it includes a provision for mutual respect of the U.S. and Iran's sovereignty, so we do not launch a dumb war of choice again.

Starting point is 02:28:04 The war was a costly lesson for the U.S. as expected. Trump failed to bring about regime change. The terms seem no better than what Obama secured under the JCPOA, nearly a decade ago. In fact, they're far worse. I mean, if we're going to be honest about it's far worse. There's far less control over. There's far less check, at least as it stands now. That could change after Friday. But also, all the concession, Trump has given is way more than what Obama gave. America lost 14 precious service members and wasted billions of dollars. Apparently, I mean, we're talking tens and tens of billions as far as we can tell.

Starting point is 02:28:38 And that's an early estimate in this foolish endeavor. But today, he says we can be relieved that gas and food costs will start coming down for Americans. Well, a small degree. Last I checked, crew rolls of $80 a barrel. It went down from 84, you know, and that's still much higher than it was before the started. So it's, you know, it's a little bit of lucery. and no one know, you know, it's not over yet.

Starting point is 02:28:57 And people know that. But it says, and that no more American and a civilian lives will be lost, hopefully. It also shows that when Congress votes to end war, as we did last week, I guess, it can be a wake-up call for the president to listen to the anti-war sentiments of the American people. Well, I hope that's what actually drove it, but I don't think the case. Because really, if Congress actually wanted to do something, they wouldn't have agreed last time. And they would have tried to, you know, impeached him many times over for the, the obvious crimes that were committed.

Starting point is 02:29:26 No, and just as much as Biden should have been impeached or before that Trump or before that, you know, the same thing. Lastly, just so you don't forget, Gaza is still happening. Leading medical journal, The Lancet publishes a call to expel Israeli Medical Association over Gaza genocide. The Lancet. So it's just, it's the world sees it no matter what anybody wants to tell you. The medical journal Lancet's published a petition calling for the Israeli Medical Association

Starting point is 02:29:54 to be boycotted and expelled from the world medical association. over its failure to condemn what the petition describes as Israel's genocide against Palestinians. Good. Call them out. This needs to change. Betzelam, the leading Israeli human rights group. Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians, says the leading Israeli human rights group. Our reports, welcome to hell and living hell.

Starting point is 02:30:18 I've shown you both of those, extensively document a reality of extreme violence and starvation and torture. Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence. deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care and abuse in every facility where they are held. Rape as well, which is very much documented to both of those reports. The world sees it. The sad thing is the power structures of the world don't seem to care. Latest from Gaza, this was yesterday, at least nine Palestinians, including a child

Starting point is 02:30:52 been killed and continual Israeli attacks across Gaza in their tents, in their refugee camps. That's what's happening. even, there's no narrative. There's no media coverage. They're literally just bombing tents. They're not even claiming to go after somebody. They just, they're casual mowing of the lawn is what they literally call it. People dying, suffering, babies with disease and suffering and starvation and in accordion, the casual torture and rape.

Starting point is 02:31:18 That's what they deal with every single day in this location. And now in Lebanon, in Syria. Because Israel's doing that, guys. We can't shelter ourselves from this anymore. Philip Geraldi, Tai Bay, the, if that's the you pronounce. It's it. Tai Bay, Taibe, Teba. The last Christian village was made unhabitable last week. After weeks of raids, killing livestock, poisoning water, and cutting down olive trees.

Starting point is 02:31:43 Blood libel, though screen, even though you can watch them on video doing it. Every, I mean, over and over and over and over and over in the West Bank, in Gaza, in Lebanon, over and over and over and over. Matthew Petty, he says, I did not realize how deranged and dystopian the Israeli surveillance regime was in southern Lebanon. Before the current war, sending drones inside people's homes with loudspeakers, according to the Carnegie Middle East Center. Or, you know, babies cries to get people to come out to help and they bond them. This is the darkest thing I think most people have ever seen, and everyone's starting to see it. This is not about all Jews or even all Israelis. It's about the Israeli government and what they've done to these people.

Starting point is 02:32:29 And that statement could apply to Israelis. It could apply to people in Gaza. It can apply to people in Lebanon. It can apply to people in this country. But it's about the Israeli government and what they've done to these people. Lebanon tells the UN, Israel is now using glyphosate as a weapon. That's not even the first time, by the way. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's administration is making sure glyphosate is a national security interest.

Starting point is 02:32:54 Israel's using glyphosate to destroy farmland in Lebanon. I'm sure you can connect those dots. Lastly, Sam Husseini, just for all the people out there that are still, somewhat believe that there's like a disagreement. I mean, I do believe there's a little bit of a schism or like a divide between what they want, between Trump and Netanyahu, US, and Israel.

Starting point is 02:33:17 But as a whole of government point, I don't believe they're against each other. And so the point here's it comes down to is they need to frame it somehow as divide to get us in certain positions. And as Kathleen Johnstone pointed out recently, Barack Reveed's been doing this for decades and for, you know, at least multiple administrations.

Starting point is 02:33:34 And last Biden's last administration, there was like 15 different articles where it was like, Biden's angry with Netanyahu every time he sided with Netanyahu. Same thing's happening now, at least so far. He says long list of presidents muttering about Imperial Israel, but doing what it wants anyway.

Starting point is 02:33:52 Rookie leaks March 13th. And goes on the list of just, you know, know, the list of presidents who ultimately pretend to be against Israel, but aren't. That's where we are. I know people are, you know, it's a hard thing we're dealing with. Guys, this is difficult. This is dark. And most people don't want to admit to themselves that this is even possible.

Starting point is 02:34:14 But the reality is that it's happening. And we all see it. And the truth is that we need to stop it because this is only going to get worse. This is only becoming more influential in like higher levels of power. and that's that's fluctuating around us right now. It's just paramount to make sure that people understand what is happening, who's doing it, and why. And in my opinion, it's never been more clear.

Starting point is 02:34:37 Regard any of these conversations, but in the Iran point, since that's the kind of focal point of today, it's going to go forward. We're going to hear more about this next few days, probably tomorrow. Israel's going to continue bombing Lebanon like it's doing right now. It's going to the blockade is most likely going to maintain. But Friday is what they're.

Starting point is 02:34:54 aiming towards. So I guess where that point comes, we'll have more of a decision. And the question is, are they going to just give in and pretend they won? Are they going to find a reason to not do what they said they would do? Are they going to carry out some massive attack to try to spin this out a different direction? I hope not. I hope it doesn't go that direction. I hope this is the reality that Trump is finally realizing that he can't do this and giving in to get away from this, even if he yells that he won and that we can exploit that separation between this occupying his early force and whatever this current government is. But either way, guys, we see what's happening.

Starting point is 02:35:27 This is not America First. This is not an American interests. None of it is. None of it is. It hasn't been from the beginning. Make sure people see that. Thank you for tuning in today. I love you all.

Starting point is 02:35:39 As always, question everything. Come to your own conclusions. Stay vigilant.
