Hi on today's episode, we talk about the newest Iron Deal, the UFC fight at the White House , and Eric Trump's blatant attempt to scam a buck out of it Hi, hello, welcome back to even more news , the first and only news podcast today Monday morning at the time of this recording . Released on Tuesdays . I'm Katie Still Hi, I'm Cody . Hi Cody . Hello, Jonathan is . Hi . So it was a weekend and there was news to be had and we are going to discuss it. America's back . America's so back. I think we've officially lost the war. Is that the latest? We wasn't a war so we can't lose it. It wasn't a war. You're right. We have succeeded at idea a really good deal that preserves all the things that we started the combat operation for. Yeah, who knows if this is actually going to happen or not . Well, okay, of all the Mondays where we've returned to this Zoom space and discussed about the will they won't they this is the most progress that we have seen so it's the most like an actual deal that has happened so far. They even got JD Vance out there on the shows talking about it instead of being in hiding for a long time . So clearly they want to sell this. They want to sell it. They want to spin this so it's closer than the past. I mean we don't really know all the details because we haven't seen the memorandum of understanding, which is what it's called. So it's like a deal to do a deal, which I thought we were already in. Oh yeah. So what I'm about to describe is what we thought we all were already in, which is a sixty day ceasefire to give hammer countries more time to hammer out the details, which is again what the ceasefire was announced months ago. But it does appear that we will ultimately be giving Iran the winners of the war the money back that they want and the strait will be open and so we'll reverse the bad stuff economically that happened since the war started , but they will probably get everything they want eventually and then we might get the nuclear dust eventually . And then Israel in theory would stop bombing and invading Lebanon . Except they're saying no to that. Yes, they're they want nothing to do with this because they're not warranted part of the continuum for them like this isn't the deal . This is the this is America saying whoops that specific element of this proposed deal does not seem to be accepted by the Israeli government . So I'm making this point because it remains to be seen if that is enough of a deal breaker to break the deal . Right. And they're trying to spin this as best they can that it's somehow different and better than the JCPOA, the Obama Iran nuclear deal that Trump took us out of years ago possibly spin it that way is it because we're right, unless we win the war, which we didn't and can't at this point , we're not going to get a better deal than the one we already had . But they're trying to figure out a way where it doesn't seem like we're just giving them a bunch of money. Would you like to watch JD Vance attempt to spin this? I do think it is interest it'ings that he's been like basically like not around for a long time and they're like, alright, go fucking do. Yeah, you can come back go eat shit on TV and try that . I really wish there was like a handler or if it's just Trump who opens a cage and says, all right, you peace. Get out there, get out there and lie for me. You don't care. You believe in nothing, who cares ? The Iranians are saying that they're going to have access to a three hundred billion dollar reconstruction fund, true or fal se . Well, and that's the sort of thing they could have access to funded by the Gulf Coast coalition 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 emphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits. So we absolutely are open to the Gulf Coast countries investing in the reconstruction of Iran, but only if Iran ends their nuclear program , ends their enriched stockpile of material, and it's really open to an inspections and enforcement regime that gives 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 interest ing is the Iranian media, especially the hard line media, they're going to talk a lot about what they get without talking about what they give. It's important for all of us to correct that record. Yeah. That's what they're going to do. We're not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not doing that right now. That's what they're going to do. Listen, listen, you're gonna hear a lot of stuff about how my pants are filled with poop right now and I have big a poopy pants on. They're of course they're going to say that, but what they're not going to say is all the ways that I can use the bathroom on my own, which I have done many times. But like of course, of course they're going to say this. You know, obviously I can change I can change my pants at any time. Yes, there's poop in my pants, but I could change them at any time. I'll conceive that there's poop there. Yeah, I don't want to change my pants. But they they're going to provide me with fresh pants as long as I keep pooping in them. But don't I sound sensible? The things I'm saying are bald dash, but I sound really sensible. Don't I broadcast CBS broadcast center? It's so funny like he's just like, here's how a deal works Yeah, I guess. We're going to see as we stated up top , there the specifics are not clear just yet. Nothing been signed. The president is saying a couple more days. I don't believe that JD Vance even didn't acknowledge that said it'll take some time. But we'll see. We'll see other shakes out. Okay, this is from Droitep S on a Rich ment, Iranian media hears a concession. Trump told the Times that any final deal would permanently limit Iran to low level Uranian enrichment that can never be used militarily . So again, what we had under the JCPO A , but Iranian outlets seized on the framing as an admission that Washington has accepted Iran's right to enrich. The very demand Tran insisted throughout the talks, it would never surrender , right? This could be what JD suggests of the framing, but it's true. You know, Merr News headlined its report, quote, Trump agreed to Iran's enrichment because yeah, that was the point. They were allowed to enrich up to a point under the JCPOA with oversight . Yeah, he wanted to go in and take it all . And so that is the framing as it stands at least from the Iran ian side . I think JD can spin it. I think he's got I think he's got the goods . You're going to hear a lot of stuff about how Iran owns the United States now and that they're going to come in and build some stuff and that like in your small town in Missouri that there might be an Iran consulate and a big banner outside that says we own this town now dash JD Vance . Of course that's what they're going to say. But this is how like okay, this is, what people have an issue with with the mainstream media is that I can describe that and you say it's bad and then oh, it is. Okay , well , should we talk about?

About the big night on Sunday night. America's back. What an embarrassing display. I don't know. There's plenty to be said about this bullshit and we're going to talk about it. But my God, it's so embarrassing. I tweeted this. I'm gonna say it to you guys . America is the Florida of the world. And that's what it feels like. That's what it feels like this cloud show. I mean, the amount of tweets of like liberals refuse to accept that this is so base , this is so badass . No , it's not it's whatever. It's stupid. There's two Americas and like there's a big chunk of America that's like, it is cool to have like and it's like, I guess it's impressive to have motorcycles jumping from one platform to another and firework. But right, it's not the kind of monster energy drink sponsored . And they think like we'd just want to do Shakespeare in the park in front and be all boring. And I don't know if that's necessarily the event that I would throw on the White House lawn. But I think it sounds lovely . But in our America, we probably , like our sides America, we probably would not have done this big I mean it'd be spectacular well in the other particular ity of the thing be the dignity but also, in the other America , like all musicians wouldn't cancel . All musicians would be like, yeah, I'll do that. That sounds fun. But in fairness, this is not a separate. That's different. It's a separate thing. It's just a weird jangling keys sort of event that like , I don't know , I if you if you like it, fine. It didn't cost taxpayers money', I guess. So that's good . It's tacky and like silly and what it was everybody's time and every photo I see I'm like okay you got what a lights. Oh my gosh, they how do the hell can they put up a stage and lights? Incredible . Shockingly impressive. And it's like, I don't know, get up fucking high speed rail gold or something like that. Like I don't give shit about. Yeah, no one's ever driving by some arena in Cleveland and like look at what man has constructed here That's the thing. It's like it's not like impressive. It's like, yeah, that they built the thing to do the thing and And it could have been anywhere , it could have been anything . And if you talk about the weather, fuck you , right? Like all of it, at the end of the day, all of this is another while this wasn't a Donald Trump rally , it's about Donald Trump. It's about him shaking things up in them. Well, it's his aesthetic. He's a wrestler. It definitely is a thetic aesthetic it isn't about America . It's about Donald Trump's America. Same with the birthday, not this was this birthday, but America's birthday. The actual thing were all the performers cance led because it turns out it was not some bipartisan celebration of America . It was a Trump spectacle to keep him entertained , to put him back into the reality TV show entertainer role where he really wants to be. He doesn't want to be litigating war . He wants spectacle . And so outside of all the brazen trashiness , that's what this event is. And that is a big part of why people hate it. Well , there's lots of reasons. And it's the people that the one American fighter, one American champion. Look, I know Jackshit about this sport , but I do know that he wasn't invited because he's critical of the administration and he showed up anyway and got walked out, maybe even arrested. I think he got arrested by the cops. But this isn't about America, is my point. Some choice tidbits from yesterday was Jesus, what's the name of the guy that threw up on himself and then the most racist shit . He literally threw up on himself in the way in. I would call it up. Like I threw up a little bit. I mean, no like wasn't wasn't it wasn't it a bit that he was doing a little bit. I think where he, pretended to be drunk splashed. I'm not saying it was a good bit or like he should have like said that, but proceeded to grab the microphone and say that Michelle Obama is a man. Michelle Obama is a man . Am I right America? From Joe Rogan holding the mic, with the shortest tie you've ever seen in your life. Someone posted it looks it looks like when you dress up your dog in a little costume and it's got those extra . It's got the size little dog. Yeah. Yeah, the Michelle Obama comment appears to have rubbed even some supporters of this endeavor or ostensible supporters of this endeavor the wrong way. Dave Portnoy says this has to be denounced. These guys are lunatics . The first inclination that they're lunatics? Yeah, like Shane Gillis was like, I don't like that. The White House didn't comment, I believe. They were asked to, but they did not. They chose not respond. Just this big event outside the White House, the guy wins a fight and says Michelle Obama's Yeah which is such an old thing too. They have no new bits. I know that's a ten year old thing? It's from ago long time ago but it's they're playing the hits . It's America's two hundred fifty, right? You gotta outside the White House. The classic. At my bank, I was literally getting pennies using Wealthfronts to chick, meet Angela, a Wealth Front Catch account client since twenty twenty three.

The real thing, the real thing that happened. The very real thing that definitely did happen despite what they're going to tell you. So this guy, Daniel Cormier, who's a former UFC fighter and a commentator now who was there posted an XDM exchange from earlier in the day or the day before the event, something like that between him and Eric Trump. And Eric Trump is just like, Hey, man, looking forward to meeting sorry. I think we should read this. Read the whole thing. Can we read it back? Like it's so yeah the progression is so funny. It's from the need my nuts licked guy Twit ter . It's from the well, the lick dispelled LICK T. So , you know, it's a little bit I love this exchange . That's completely real . Okay. So Eric Trump. Hey, Daniel, I'm gonna be attending UFC two hundred and fifty tomorrow. Saw you were casting. Hope to see you there. Yo, Eric, Didn't expect a DM from you. Excited to meet you in the family. Much love, brother. Anything you can tell me about the fighters tomorrow , who you got winning? Hahah a. I like to stay unbiased, but I love to watch Nickel fight. It's a guy assume that's a guy Nicole, Nicole. I'm assuming yep. You placing any bets? No, I'm actually not allowed to bet on any cards or anything . Are any of the fighters injured that you know of? Oh my God . I'm not quite sure why you're asking me this, but I think they're all in good sh ape I'll just cut to the chase. Are any of the fights tomorrow rigged? I've been eyeing the Lopez fight and I think an upset wouldn't be too unrealistic dollar sign dollar sign . No, none of our fights rigged and honestly, I am appalled that you would even ask me something like that. Did you see Brian's hat? Not bad gentlemen, not bad gentlemen. Too much , you know, I just don't think you're letting it settle in your body quite. I'm cutting you brought in some moments of laughter, which from a performer's perspective is very natural, but I don't think that he was giggling in that moment and Jonathan . Oh shit. Usually ha ving more like joy beneath it and like ha or something. Oh, I was it as he's not actually happy to tell good. It's a good note. Nervous laughter. Look, this is nuts. This happened. He tweets, like I can't in conscience. I have to share this information. I'm so shocked. And then everybody sees it and then a few minutes later it gets deleted . And then all sorts of spin started happening. I'll launch it back to Jonathan. Yeah. So then everyone was like, oh my god, he deleted it. Like this is crazy. Eric Trump is just straight up like, hey, this thing you've dedicated your life to is bullshit and stupid, right? So how can I make I didn't get the tip about how to do the my scam on this thing. We're you know , you know how everybody in our circle are like grifters and rig stuff . I'm assuming literally assuming that the thing that you do is fake and stupid. So Eric a, why wouldn't it be you have right? Like but they take it seriously. It's like they're actually beating the snot out of each other. Anyway, Eric Trump tweets, this is completely fake. He quote tweets, need my nuts licked. And he says, this is completely fake. I've never reached out to Daniel. In fact, this is scary. And that's the third version. He edited this several times. He also tweets other people. He says, This did not happen. They were AI generated. Please be careful with reporting. If it's faked, how do you know they were ? How do you know how they were ? How do you know that? And so did he make the AI did somebody else do it and like inspiring making this point in time the suggestion is yeah AI but no one wants to answer the question of how did Cormier upload this and then immediately delete it? He now says he was hacked. Now he says he was hacked. Got his account back real fucking quick. Real quick and getting the account back . Yeah, I don't know. Things, yes, that's that's a very important point. That's I was going to say that, but also yeah, you know, when you're hacked and one thing happens and that immediately gets deleted , that's how it goes when someone gets hacked. Yeah, when you get hacked right away. Deleted right . But nothing The hacker felt bad. The hacker felt But they didn't do anything else except post obvious obvious AI fabrication because why would you just assume it's true people? It's Eric Trump. This is the president. I love the president's son. I love the implication that I like all AI stuff out there. Be careful folks. It's scary. Bro , this administration and your dad only post AI slop. They constantly know shit of like Obama getting arrested and like they're like monkeys and stuff. What the fuck are you talking about? And there are other way, like, you don't need AI to make a fake text or DM conversation. There's like apps out there where you famously have screenshots. Like you don't need an AI or is he saying AI wrote the text to? It's very unclear so clear. And then there was a period of time where I was seeing like a fake that's a fake Don or Eric Trump account. No, it wasn't. No. It was very clearly the account. And again, people watch this in real time . Oh, yeah, they have screen records of like the tweet being there and stuff and it doesn't happen. Any sense, it's so funny. It's so obvious. It's very funny and nothing will come of it probably. And half of the country will think like those AI screenshots were hacked into his brain or whatever and they buy it or they'll pretend that they buy it whatever. It's real. It happens. Come on. I love the escalation, like it's such an escal ation. Like he's so bad , like it's just so obvious like how they are , both he and Don Jr. are through and through Donald Trump's sons and not his sons . Like they're in this world where like, well, everybody rigs stuff, right? We're all rigging stuff to make money. And everything's a scam. We're the scam country with a scam family. Yeah, hey, give me some info on this scam. Let me help you rig stuff , whatever , but he's not like in the world in a way where like he can gauge people's like responses and be sly about it. Like he couldn't like, his, dad as stupid as he is, wouldn't be like so like it's rigged, right? Give me the rigging numbers like so like any tips he can like there's a way to talk about this and Eric going from is anyone injured to a message saying , I don't really know why you're asking me that. That like 's being corniated so hard to be like, You gotta stop DMing me about this stuff, man. Stop it. We're not allowed to do that. Stop this and then he's just like cut to the chase. Is it rigged? This is so stupid. Which matches rigs? One of them has to be rigs, because why would we do it here unless we were rigging stuff? I'm assuming he's like he's like we only ag reed to do this at the White House under the assumption that it would be rigged and that I would get to bet on it. That me the swaggless son of Donald Trump somehow the dumbest come in this button. You got to give me something . You gotta give me something . No, it's fake. There's gonna be no real one that just got married, right? No , she's not just got married. Eric Trump has been married to Laura for a while and she has a Fox New show where she interviews her father in law from time to time. And not Eric. Eric isn't on TV that much. No, he's not such a dink . He is a real dink in this. And so now I don't know what Dana White, the head of UFC said to Daniel Cormier, probably just like you can't like try to take down the president's son right before the stupid event. Maybe tomorrow you could have done it, but probably not because we have a financial partnership here. We're all making money off of this not by rigging, but like not by rigging , but by like all this all the they are like all the relationships line financially , the fighters were getting their bonuses in Trump crypto that the UFC has an interest in as well. Like this is all to goose their own fake bullshit money. To be clear, yeah, it is a scam. It is a scam, but it's not rigged in the traditional sense of like a fight being rigged. And that's the problem, I guess. It's not rigged enough is the problem. I just love how it's completely tactless Eric is. And just like you're not a part of this world man. I know he want to be and you have to be to like earn your father's love, but you're so bad if he won't ever love you. He's not gonna zoom you, dude. Give it up. He thinks you're not serious people and he doesn't love you and he's kind of embarrassed that you have to be there and that you're going to go up to him and be like, Hey, dad , while he while he didn't like he didn't like, he didn't like your wife until he saw her on TV with like the appropriate amount of makeup on. Like he's a monster. He hates everyone . Either of his boys , or I guess Baron, too, you're an adult, I'll include you in this , had turned out attractive in some way or athletic, he would love you . I mean, he would. If you were attractive like six, eight, he could have played some sort of sport, but he went to Wharton School of Middleton or whatever. I don't know. I get nothing out of that kid. Any pictures you see of him like I can't read what's going on in our amazing what's your vibe? What are you going to be ? He doesn't look thrilled to be there. No, but I think he's just like biting his time until he's the guy, you know, and he his half brothers think they're the guys and Baron knows that they're not the guy. Yeah. Baron knows that they're washed up old fools. And I mean, I couldn't tell you what Baron Trump's voice sounds like , anything like that . And he was a kid for a long time. So, you know, as we all are or were it's true. But now he's not and he can do whatever he wants. Do say whatever he wants, yeah . Also like it's talked about this before, but like he's got he was always a , you know, Trump's not a hands on type of parent so like, you know, Baron grew up mostly like with Melania there like constantly and she and some unknown person. And some unknown person . But she hates his father . So he's probably got a lot of, you know, mixed opinions probably about his dad , but great job, Eric.
