What in the world just went down? Donald Trump just held a disastrous press dinner with Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. This was all broadcast live and it was just a total mess. Donald Trump here said that, yes, indeed we've done 90 deals in 90 days because he has sent letters. So what he's talking about with Netanyahu there, it gets much worse. Here play this clip.

Mr. President, on tariffs, what happened to 90 trade deals in 90 days? Oh, we've spoken to everybody. We know everything. It's all done. What happened to 90 trade deals in 90 days? As people are- Oh, we've spoken to everybody. We know everything. It's all done. What's day eight? I told you, I told you, we'll make some deals,

but for the most part, we're gonna send a letter, we're gonna say, welcome to the United States if you'd like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever. I mean, we're doing better than ever. We have, I don't think, and you're going to see these numbers soon. We've never had numbers like this. We've never had investment like this. We have more than 90. We're going to have much more than 90,

but most of those are going to be sent to letter. And Donald Trump says, we're done. We did it. 90 deals, 90 days. I've sent letters to countries and I've told them what the tariffs are. There's nothing for me to do Those are deals your play this clip United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China We've made a deal. We're close to making a deal with India Others we met with and we don't think we're gonna be able to make a deal So we just send them a letter if you want to if you want to play ball you have to this is what you have To pay so we come as far as I'm concerned. We're done

to this is what you have to pay. So, as far as I'm concerned, we're done. We're sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause. We're not going to be unfair about it. And actually, it's a small fraction compared to what we should be getting. We could be asking for much more. This is how deranged it is. He says it's done Because he sent letters and I have done other videos on this where I've gone through these letters and they look like a Fifth grader no offense to fifth graders. It looks like a fifth grader Cosplaying as a bad fifth grader wrote this and then Donald Trump says look the letters are the deals and He says we did what we said.

Congratulations. He goes, I'll tell countries, congratulations. Welcome to the United States. You did it. What? You're playing this clip. Because you're sending the letters to follow up on the edit that's earlier. You're counting these as deals by saying, here's the tariff rate.

I'm saying here it is. Congratulations. Welcome to the United States. I hope you make a lot of money and you're going to pay us money. Also why is this even in front of the press? What are we even? What? So then Donald Trump with Netanyahu there, he goes, you know who says that America is

so hot? He goes the King of Saudi Arabia and the head of Qatar and UAE they say we're so hot and then Donald Trump lies and claims that he's brought in $15 trillion to the United States already. He has not that would almost be the entire GDP or like 70% of the GDP of the US. Qatar's GDP is what, like $150 billion and the UAE's is like $400 billion and Saudi Arabia is $2 trillion. What you've brought in $5 trillion, five times what their GDP is. What are you talking about here? Play this clip. But we're up to over $15 trillion coming into our country. There's never been anything like it anywhere in the world.

There's never been an investment like that anywhere in the world. We, look, I told this story and I just told it to Bibi backstage. I was talking to him and I said, you know, the King of Saudi Arabia, smart guy. And also we went to Qatar and we went to UAE. Really three strong leaders, smart guys.

They all told me the same thing. And then that was reiterated at NATO just recently when we got back where they agreed to spend a trillion dollars a year, by the way, which is about three times what they were spending. But they all said the same thing. We thought your country was dead. Horrible term, right? We thought the United States of America was dead and now you're presiding over the hottest

Country anywhere in the world with the hottest country in the world I think baby would admit it even hotter than in show though. It was pretty hot about a week ago I can tell you for the wrong for the wrong And then Benjamin Netanyahu knows how to play Donald Trump and Netanyahu says, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter that I sent to the Nobel Prize committee nominating you for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, Benjamin Netanyahu awarding Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm sure that the Nobel Peace Prize board thinks very highly of this.

I'm being sarcastic, of course. Here, play this clip. I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it. Thank you very much. This I didn't know. Well, thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much baby. Thank you for everything you're doing. Thank you. It's a great honor. So then Donald Trump is asked by a reporter, okay, so you've moved the tariff deadline from July 9th to August 1st. So is the August 1st deadline now firm? And Trump's like, well, it's firm, but it's not firm.

Taco, play this clip. And the August 1 deadline, I mean, is the August 1 deadline, is the August 1 deadline firm now? Is that it? Could you move in? No, I would say firm, but not 100% firm. If they call up and they say, we'd like to do something a different way, we're going to be open to that. But essentially that's the way it is right now, yeah. And here Donald Trump is rambling again. Let's play it. Mr. President, are the tariff letters that you sent today final offers or are they negotiated?

Final offer. So South Korea, Japan should take it or not? We're always subject to negotiate something that's fair, but we've talked to most of the countries, and pretty much they've had their way for many, many decades, as you know. We're always subject to negotiate something that's fair, but we've talked to most of the countries and pretty much they've had their way for many, many decades, as you know. And it was time that we just wanted fairness. This is not really equitable from our standpoint because it's just a small token by comparison to the damage that's been done over the years, but we had no other president that was willing to do this.

Then Donald Trump says that his bombing of Iran reminded him of Truman dropping nukes on Japan. Here, play this clip. When you think and carrying the biggest bombs ever, the biggest bombs that we've ever dropped on anybody, when you think, non-nuclear, and we want to keep it non-nuclear by the way. But they did a phenomenal job. It was an amazing job. And I think that was I was talking to Bibi about it before. That was the very beginning of the end. It ended very quickly after that. I don't want to say what it reminded me of, but if you go back a long time ago, it reminded people of a certain other event. And as Harry Truman's picture is now in the lobby in So a quick PSA for those of you on Medicare, the DOJ recently sued three of the largest Medicare brokers and carriers for allegedly deceiving

customers claiming to be unbiased while pushing them into plans that don't actually cover their needs, all to make a few extra bucks. Let's be real, between Medicare scams, shady agents, and bloated insurance companies, it's way too easy to get stuck in a plan that's overpriced or just plain wrong for you. That is why I'm working with Chapter.

They are the only advisors that compare every Medicare plan nationwide and they tailor their recommendation to you so you get the coverage that fits your needs and saves you the most money. And the best part? Chapter's help is completely free. There's no sales pressure, no pushing plans you don't need, just real advice that puts

you first. People save an average of $1,100 by using chapter. So if you're turning 65 soon or are already on Medicare, call them up at 82 Medicare. You won't regret it. Most people just wish they'd call sooner. Once again, give them a call. That's 82 Medicare, 82 Medicare. Give them a call. Most people wish that they'd call sooner.

Call 82 Medicare. Then Donald Trump praises Iran at this dinner for coordinating with Trump and the regime, the Trump regime, when and where Iran was going to bomb the American base in Qatar. And he goes, I really appreciate that 14 missiles they launched. We let him do it. Here, play this clip. And, you know, we were at the end. Missiles were shot and every single missile was shot out of the air.

It was pretty amazing. That was sort of the end. And they told us they were coming and where they were and what time they were coming. And they said, if you'd like to have a different time, we'll do that. And that's respect when they do that. I appreciated that they did that did that there was no surprise we got the soldiers out of the base in Qatar in this case but they knew they were coming 14 missiles were coming then Donald Trump attacks Zoran Mamdani play it So we'll see you in New York next year Oh well look I'm gonna come there with the President Trump and we'll see

What the how do you know who the mayor will be? I don't know that He's gonna be very fine and who knows we don't know who the mayor is gonna be yet But this is a communist. He's not a socialist He's a communist and he said some really bad things about Jewish people and he said some really bad things about a lot of people. And I think he's going through a little bit of a honeymoon right now, but he might make it. But you know, it all comes through the White House. He needs the money through the White House.

He needs a lot. He's going to behave. He'll behave. He better behave. Otherwise, he's going to have big problems. But it's a philosophy that this country is not ready for and it never will be. Trump is asked if he supports a two-state solution to which Donald Trump puns to Benjamin Netanyahu and says, Bibi, you answer the question, Bibi. And then Benjamin Netanyahu was like, well, we wouldn't want to commit suicide and no

one should be held prisoners. Seriously? After what we're seeing go down in Gaza, that's what your response right here is. Seeing the women and children die in Gaza every day and what's become. And didn't Trump and Netanyahu say they were going to end and they bring peace? This is just horrible stuff. Here, play this clip. Do you think that there can be a two-state solution that creates an independent... I don't know. I you think that there can be a two state solution that creates an independent power?

I don't know. I'd ask maybe that question. You have the greatest man in the world to answer that age old question, two states. Go ahead, you give him your honest answer. I think the Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers to threaten us.

That means that certain powers, like overall security, will always remain in our hands. Now, that is a fact. And no one in Israel will agree to anything else because we don't commit suicide. We want life. We cherish life for ourselves, for our neighbors. And I think we can work out a peace between us and the entire Middle East with

President Trump's leadership. And by working together, I think we can establish a very, very broad peace that will include all our neighbors. Of course, they lie about everything. And then a reporter asked Donald Trump, tell us about your Palestinian relocation plan. Is that still on the table? And asked Donald Trump, tell us about your Palestinian relocation plan. Is that still on the table? And then Donald Trump again says, Bibi, you could answer. Then he goes, well, they have free will. If they want to leave, they can leave.

How do they have free will? Then of course there should be a two-state solution. What are we even talking about here? Here play this clip. Is your Palestinian relocation plan still on the table? Is there a plan? Is there any progress in finding countries? You know, Bibi, why don't I let you answer that question?

Mr. President. Wait a minute, he's got to answer the question. I think President Trump had a brilliant vision. It's called free choice. You know, if people want to stay, they can stay. But if they want to leave, they should be able to leave. It shouldn't be a, you know, prison. It should be an open space.

It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. It should be a place where people can go to work. free choice. You know, if people want to stay, they can stay. But if they want to leave,

they should be able to leave. It shouldn't be a, you know, prison. It should be an open place and give people a free choice. Then Donald Trump talks about having the pilots at the White House and saying that the pilots were here. And then we also had mechanics, I think about 170 people here play this clip. You know, it's very, very interesting. We had the pilots here yesterday, as you know, and they were incredible. And we also had the mechanics, we had a lot of people here that had to do a lot of people, I think about 170 people that had to do

with that incredible journey, a journey that could have been horrible. You remember what happened with Jimmy Carter with the helicopters and all of the problems and ultimately hostages. We had the exact opposite. Everything was perfect. It worked perfectly. But I didn't realize, I was saying to one, is this something that you felt strongly about? Absolutely, sir.

I couldn't wait. I said, better than you, really better you than me. But they couldn't wait. He said, sir, we've been practicing for this mission for more than 20 years. And then Donald Trump describes Putin's war on Ukraine as a Biden created monster. Here, watch this. And they were maybe at a nuclear stage, at both nuclear powers. And I think something that was very important. We're trying to help out with a Biden created monster. This whole thing that's happening with Russia and Ukraine, it's a horrible, it's a horrible

thing and I'm not happy with President Putin at all. But this is something that would have never happened if I were president. This was a war that was never going to happen. And by the way, no one asked him about the Epstein files. I mean, I don't know how as a reporter you don't go and ask him. Now you're claiming the Epstein files don't exist. And you claim that there is no list after Donald Trump's now praising Dan Bongino and Cash Patel who lead the FBI after they told us that there were the Epstein files that exist.
