Donald Trump is panicking this morning as the size of the crowds in Tehran continued to grow what started with millions is now tens of millions of mourners for Ayatolla Komines funeral procession We're seeing tens of millions of people on the street in Tehran and in surrounding cities. We'll show you some images right here. So now in the Oval Office, Donald Trump is back to saying, well, we're either going to make a deal with Iran or we're gonna to finish the job. It won't be tough us to finish the job, We're going to destroy their energy. We're going to destroy their bridges. We're going to destroy their big, beautiful plants and they're not going to like it. We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way, Donald Trump says as he threatens the individuals who are out there mourning essentially the person who is their pope. And as Donald Trump entered into or was their pope, Donald Trump entered into the MOU. You did the deal already. What deal are you talking? There's nothing more to negotiate other than to make the deal into a long form agreement. Here's what Donald Trump said, playay this clip. Maybe making a deal. I don't know Either look, we're going to win one way or the other We'reither to make a deal or we're going to finish the job Okay. And it won't be tough to finish your job I'd rather make a deal. Because I don't want to affect ninety one million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour We can knock out there Energy supply, all of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful modern plants had a lot of money They don't have any money now We haven't given him any money But we can knock out there electricity and power generating plants and I would say small part of an afternoon. Every plan will be gone And they know that Now, financial times has confirm the numbers that we've been telling. I've seen some of your comments saying, Ben, there's not tens of millions. You're exaggerating, you're being hyperbolic. comeome on, Ben. Here's how Financial Times puts it The funeral of Iran's supreme leadeer Ayatollah Ali Khomane could see a total of twelve million to fifteen million visitors across the days of events making it One of the largest funerals in modern history, I would say it's the largest funeral. everver take a look right here, what you can see in Englab Square and Aadi Square. I mean, the whole Tehran is filled with people and in addition to in the mosque mourning area as well here playing this clip So Th Donald Trump is like, Well, we're doing very well with Iran. We're doing very well with them. You know, we're just not getting the coverage that we deserve. It's really a media thing that, you know, when I say they're fully destroyed and that the people hate the regime there and that they have no radars and militaries, you know, when media says they have a military, they still control the strait of Hormuz You're lying about everything and then show images Man, that's so unfair to the United States. Here play this cliff. And hundreds of billions have more money than they've ever made And we're doing very well paid for the war many times over, and then Iran, we're doing actually equally as well. We're just not getting the kind of coverage that we should but we have eviscerated them military and The bottom line is our country is strong. We have the greatest military anywhere in the world. I was with President Xi. Then Donald Trump said that nobody ever heard of these strait of hormz before this war. Nobody heard of it. He said, but it's a big money machine. You know, You should learn your history. Everybody knew about these strait of hormz And by the way, I'll give you another piece of history as well, july third of nineteen eighty eight when the United States military destroyed an Iranian commercial flight, Iran air fllight six hundred fifty five, killing two hundred and ninety people. Yeah The Iranians remember that and people remember what went down there anyway. H Let's play this clip of Donald Trump saying nobody's heard of the Straay ofromus. straight. and the famamous trit of hormos nobody ever heard of, but it's some it is a That is some big money machine. I'll tell you what. When you look at the numbers, Michael. And then Donald Trump showing again how just utterly delusional and pathetic he is starts to brag about TikTok He goes, you hear about TikTk People say that I get better ratings on TikTk Th tail is swift Okay, so he's like you know, terrified of the size of the crowds in Tehran He's lying and saying that more people watch him on TikTk than anything. just and this is what you're saying from the Oval Office. And by the way, this is supposed to be like a press conference on what he calls the Trump accounts, investment accounts babies where it invests in S and P five hundred ETF's These exchange traded funds just play this clip of what he says Two days ago, the new numbers just came out You know who the number one person in TikTk is by far? Trump, me I just got they I'm number one. Like Taylor Swift was number eleven I'm number one in TikTok by far Then Donald Trump's like every time I see these crypto guys who are getting rich, I say to them, You're so lucky you got me. You're so lucky because otherwise you'd be under investigation. So you're very lucky you have me. I mean, can the corruption get any more obvious? Let's play it. They allowed people to come out of jail And every time I see a crypto guy that where they dropped an investigation. I said You're lucky, I' president because they, you know, I don't know if you know, the Biden administration became totally pro crypto Here you have mourners at Ayatlla, Ali Kin's funeral throwing stones at a billboard of Donald Trump. We can just show you that. let's play it And you can see over here, people in Tehran held signs up like this. We will end you, Donald. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Here if you look in the crowd, you see lots of signs like this Sooner or later, your heads will roll, and it's a photo of Donald Trump. peopleeople in his regime, mortar throwing, you saw that. U lotots of messages, you know, threatening Donald Trump that's out there Meanwhile, you know, the world's on fire. I did a video this morning We know this weekend Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke for ninety minutes, and then shortly thereafter, Putin launched one of his biggest mal biggest ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv since the war began I think right now it's over twenty people killed striking in the heart of Kyiv. By the way, we've also seen, I'll show you the video right here, showing a Ukrainian drone slamming into the Ops reffinery which is Russia's largest refinery in Ukraine's longest distance drone strike yet. Several hits on various infrastructure within the facility have been recorded. Here's a closer view of the fire over there. this was probably two five hundred kilometers away from Ukraine and lots of people are saying that the way these drones had to attack They actually went three thousand five hundred kilometers to attack from a direction that Russia didn't expect. Let me show you the OMS reffinery. And again, this is one of the biggest refineries in all of Russia. Ye Bash offic show isplilled next Staroy. Sies are so bad. I that I suo Why did Wood on bath Blad. He might overrad last So then Donald Trump said, as it relates to Russia's war on Ukraine, I think we're getting much closer than people realize. I think we're getting much closer to solving it. We're very close to getting a deal. promised he would get it done, not just on day one, but twenty four hours after the election. The guy lies about everything I think we're getting much closer than people realize. and President Putin wants it to end. I will tell you that very strongly, on a good call. President Zelenssky actually wants it to end now And we're going to be going to NATO and we're going to be talking about it. And I think we're going to get it I think we're going to get it ended. It's been terrible. And then he goes on brag about calling up Gianni Infontino, the head of FIFA and having FIFA reverse a red card against one of the top U. S players UEIFA put out a statement on Faller and Ballingan. u getting the red card reversed and playing intoonight's Game Here's what Donald Trump had to say. You know, if Belgium beats us, they could be proud. But otherwise, the reps were rigging it against the United States like the twenty twenty election, Donald Trump says. A big committee And after reviewing it, I think they said, look, it's This would this game would have a big mark on it If we lost, if we won, no matter what happened You have to let them use their best players and the game tonight's going to be amazing and we're going to have a full team and Belgium's going to have a full team. And you know what? if they beat us then they can be really proud. The other way, if they beat us, we'll say it was I say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in twenty twenty I won't get into that. ladies and gentlemen. And then Ted Cruz was bragging about Donald Trump getting the red card reversed. How it happen? I think ever in FIFA history reversing a red card and a red card that was then confirmed on the review. Here's what Ted Cruz has to say. And on behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card This is his interesterest. It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did. Mr. President, this here's the statement from the European soccer Fotball Federation, statement on decision related to Faller and Balligan, yesterday's decision to suspend a probationary period a year The implementation of the one match automatic suspension following the red card issued to follow and Balogan crossed a red line. Football, like any other sport relies on rules, which are the basis for fair honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation, in this case, not at a minimum, automatic suspension of one match. foollowing a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted and it goes onnt to criticize the decision Meanwhile, you had Benjamin Netanyahu going on state regime media Fx this morning and saying that only Israel should be able to have F thirty five s and not Turkey or no one else in the Middle East becausecause he says the entire security infrastructure of the Middle East relies on Israel and the United States imposing its military will and that you shouldn't give F thirty five' s to any other countries. Here's what he says I don't think they should be given F thirty five' s or the engines four there for their fighter jets because that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also I think, by America's posture in the Middle East And then Netanyahu says that the only reason why Iran is still standing is because of goons. A few hundred thousand goons. that's why And otherwise, if it wasn't for these few hundred thousand goons, we would have been able to take it over. Donald Trump and Netanyahu would have conquered all of Iran. And you see all the people out there at the funeral who were just ready and willing and so excited to have Netanyahu rule over Iran because they saw the genocide in Gaza and the genocide in Lebanon and they said precisely what we want This is what he's saying this morning, playlay this clip. We've had over thirteen thousand strikes on them. You've had over eight thousand strikes on them. Why is that government still standing? becausecause it has a few hundred thousand goons to Kill murder in Broad daylight and at night. They murder their own people. They've murdered. You've got Donald Trump making posts this morning of National Guard looking at the reflecting ple. By the way, the reflecting pole still looks green today and it has all this ash disastrous firework show, Donald Trump making weird posts about himself sitting courtside at a nick game from the nineteen nineties And then he writes or he reposts someone who says, thanks to Trump economics, the US economy is hotter than the New York Nixs. likeike, why are you making sports so damn weir are too and Clating it with the economy which is bad. and where most Americans are suffering right now. Yeah, maybe not Michael Dell The billionaire who's in there whose stock went up You saw Dell behind him after these Trump accounts were announced and that Dell was going to make a philanthropic investment in the Trump accounts And then the Dell stock goes up right there U, But most Americans are suffering right now, canan't afford anything, can't afford homes. Most Americans feel they're going through a Great Depression, but Trump says we're never been hotter. I also want to point this out as well. I'll just show you a little clip of this. We don't need to show the full minute. Um So last night we had Delseie Rodriguez and Destado Cabello giving medals. Thankking the U. S. Sarch and resescue teams in Lag Guera We have to give them we have to get everything has to be metedals now. So we have the authoritarian regime of Venezuela that held up aid to the people of Venezuela following the earthquakes and who did not do a good job in deploying search and rescue teams There's still tens of thousands of people missing and presumed dead over close to three thousand confirmed dead. that's going to increase dramatically. And now we're handing out medals and the person handing out the medals while America's like Envoy is standing right there as a guy who there was a twenty five million dollars bounty on him. but's that's the Trump regime for you at the Trump regime, let's play it. YouS sayO too. Pay out your is We up by six ps of these un. see ask D for we' justc. No, thank you. That.. Lig the resipo alsoo And then the weakness of the Trump regime, obviously D being demonstrated, China sees how weak they are. China's Navy just successfully test fired a nuclear capable ballistic missile, carrying a training simulation warhead from a strategic submarine into the Pacific High seas. The launch triggered swift condemnations from New Zealand, Japan, Papua New Guinea You called it a threat to regional stability. we don't hear anything from Donald Trump. Kim Jong un of North Korea did a miss the Cruz missile test over the weekend as well, bragging about their nuclear capabilities. But Donald Trump and Michael Dell in the Oval Office bragging about their helicopters and Michael Delgo Sir. We don't have a helicopter. We call it a deicopter. It's the Dicopter everybody Yeah qu.
