Christen, this is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War two, if you go back to World War one, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation Hello and welcome to the Trawl where we look at the news and alternate between And for fuck shake. And I'm Marina Perkis and we're gonna go straight in trallers because there is so much we need to get through Sting with this. how else to describe it, I guess just monstrosity What a moral want to see And human failure this is We have our first tririllionaire Tidian. trillionet and that must be a sound effect for me to bg in Go. yourself Lovely Lovely choice there, actually Gemma. I didn't know what you're going to pull out of your media wall there, but that was an excellent choice. So yes, the Financial Times reported SpaceX's eleven percent share price boost. has made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire controlling two of the world's Companies Yes, or there is another way to announce it, and the real Owen had to go over on threads. He said, Elon Musk poised to make history as the world's first mega And it is absolutely mind blowing. And what we're going to talk about a little bit in this episode along with so many other things. It's a jam pack, juicy on trarawlers. And by the way, if you missed yesterday's, that was all well it was rather old, but that's just because the way the trawler rolls So that was about the stuff that happened in Belfast. That's such a great way to sell it in Gemma. Is that good old? Yeah. If you want to listen to something who's quite old hat and dated. That was yesterday's. Now we're onto this, which is relatively still fresh and it really is. Fresh in the mind. I don't think it's going to go anywhere, but you know what I'm so happy about with this particular announcement? I think we can all look at it and go A, that trickled down economics, it really works, doesn't it? It does, it's super. Yes. It's not like a hamster, like a money hamster just storing wealth in its cheeks and the cheeks just get fatter and fatter and fatter and fatter until the hamster is just one big ball of at that grotesque f. It's horrible. It's horrible. And this might surprise you tral as. I'm not a numbers person, but we have tried to wrap our heads around how much money this actually amounts to. And we're going to kind of like give you some incredible examples that will make your minds blow. Just from a numeric perspective twelve zeros twelve zeros in a trillion. there is now nothing That man can't do He is well, p of me, you know, charming and likeable and all those cos friends have respect. He's utterly lawless. invited to my party. Yeah. Wh do you want him there? Because what he does at parties is he gets his phone out and he gets Grock out. And he does his roast, doesn't he Yes, no, more vulgar. No, no, no, more vulgar Yeah I don't want to miss me your Bi, even though he might do a very good g. Well, that's what I was saying. I was trying to intimate money can't buy an invitation to my party. Actually deep, deep down, that's a lie. I probably do have my price I'm trying to think what that price is It about one hundred and fifty pounds. No, no, no, no. No, one hundred and fifty pounds, I'd say no to him coming to my party. Go her. G hire everybody Let's see what my price is. Let's find out. Elon Muser be at my party Not even two hundred and fifty quid. I hasten. I think he's a dick So no amount of money. No, there is an amount. definitely, it's just higher than that Everyone's got a prriice Tnd ten grandnd. There you go I didn't take much to dim Al right Anyway, so the Zorin Mam Dani said reason and then put a trillion with the twelve Nus why we should tax the rich. And look, before we get into the moral dimension of this, we need to we need to go there. So Right. I have found some absolutely great examples and we're going to try and make it real. So a million seconds ago was about eleven and a half days ago, okay Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's a good example. That's quite manageable But a billion seconds ago was nineteen ninety four Okay Are you ready for where a trillion seconds ago gets you to? We're going in the time machine. whereere are we going back to? Are we thinking Georgian era? Are we thinking Elizabethan? orre we thinking what are we thinking? on. Okay to a trillion seconds ago takes you back to twenty nine thousand seven hundred. B C Basically, Willy Mammoth were alive. Homo sapiens hadn't yet invented writing and we were painting on cave walls I know. that's Dick. I've got another one. I've got another one. So if you earn fifty thousand pounds a year which is a decent salary And you saved every single penny of it. Yeah How many years do you think you'd have to work for to save a trillion pounds. I don't know. twenty million. What twenty million years of saving fifty K a year to get to a trillion pounds. Oh my Godd, that's absolutely not obscene absolutely obscene that this one person has accumulated this much wealth and actually I was reading a really interesting thread about it. And it's all the fact that you know there are so many people. if you invest in pensions or if you invest in the stock exchange or whatever or you buy these pies on trading apps or whatever, you will inadvertently be buying his stock Like even if you don't want to, the pension will be buying it. And so it's not that he's like made all this money, but he's got this huge investment machine that just plows everyone's bloody money, their pension money, whatever into it. And there you go, A I making him richer and richer? And still he is so miserable And what has he done? What good? he's actually done the opposite? Like What good has that man done? A there any musk libraries? A there any musk Hospital wings A there any musk schools? No, no, no there aren't, there aren't. And when Jim and I were away we were talking about how what would you do if you had that money? And you couldn't stop us. we'd be like that we'd have to Create a Tiger team huge like collaboration with the UN. like what problem? what crisis do we solve first? Would it be environment? wouldould it be famine? Would it be how do we stop this bloody wars? Yeah It just you couldn't stop us. that nurse in yesterday's episode, the Ugandan nurse, everyveryone that's just struggling, you'd be like, here you go H's a house. Here's some money. Yes, sort it out. literally, I think I said we'd get a little desk Roll the sleeves up As you say, rightight, whereere were starting. Where we starting And yeah, you would have to you'd have to, you know, collaborate with people as you said on the sort of world hunger thing, which He could have solved it years ago. and the UN did put together a proposal for him. I think we've talked about this before and he just didn't bother. It' about six point six billion, if I recall po money for. They actually fully costed it. Yeahah, pocket money. Pcket money and to choose not to do it, which is why some of these billboards that we're now seeing have got up, I think in London brilliant. so imagine's picture of Elon looking like the twight that he is If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children are starving You're not a visionary, you're just a Yeah A Muktar pointed out, He's a trillionaire who spends every day on this app trying to start a race war and incite riots. Imagine having all that money and still behaving like an in cell living in his mum's basement. Yeah It's so bloody beyond tragic. And the thing is not only did he not do good with his money He did the opposite. Think how many preventable deaths there have been as a result of that man when he was doing his doge thing and boasting about feeding USAID into the wood chipper. He actually used those terms when he tweeted, We spent the weekend feeding USAID, which helps from the most vulnerable poor struggling people around the world feeding US. AID into the wood chipper, could have gone to some great parties. I did that instead. Basting about it, boasting and Tim Fullerton wrote For the dude bros who were baffled about why so many people dislike Elon Musk Here's a good reason This decision cost the lives of over six hundred thousand people and counting And he reacted with glee by shutting down US AID. Some things matter more than money Absolutely gross. I think we've made our feelings quite plain on that one. Ha't been Runin a pack anything that balad. And yet still, if you went ont to channel five and said this, you'd probably get someone who's on thirty five grand a year phoning up and just going, you're just jealous Yeah, you're just jealous. He's amazing. He's created so many jobs that would be the line. He's created so much employment and he he's he's Ped shit cars and fucking space rockets blow up and cyber trrucks that look like absolute shits Oh I just don't know how anyone isn't looking at him and thinking he is damaged He isn't the ultimate hoarder. And so sad withill. Speaking of insatiably grotesque individuals What are this bllnd price I'm willing to pay Because once I hit the park Pure energy takes over. It's hard to explain There's a reason the world's most iconic buildings are by a park. fifty one Park. New York? Mzalia? Israel. fififty one Park. S Mdalen Cub N Ham Hkot Gir you not seen that if you've not seen thaturers, that was Hollywood Wyneth Paltrow, also now known as Gwinacide Paltrow, there she is starring in a new campaign for Israel's luxury housing development fifty one park in Herzalia, So Herzleia Jono is an Israeli settlement It was established in nineteen twenty four on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al Haram. Yeah, so that's gone down like a cup of cold sick with most people begging the question, didid she need to do that? Did she need the frigging money? Also, what does Chris Martin think? Yeah does Chris Martin think of that? So she's worth an estimated two hundred million dollars Like to give youa, everything she touches kind of turns to gold. Those vagina candles they sold out. I mean, I never looked at how much they cost. I don't think she's short of a penny And why is she doing that? surely Swnie, she was aware the repercussions. Yeah, she has management, she has a team of agents, no doubt. Also, her mum is an actress, Bithe dinner, isn't she? And she's in my favourite film, which is Meet the parents. So she plays Robert De Niro's wife. so she plays the mum of the gaylord Fker's wife. I did not know that. I've just googled that. You're absolutely right. I know I love. I know. G pp is there. So I wonder what she thinks. And it just you just think It's so short sighted. It really, really is. Also the vagina candle thing in case you're like, what are you talking about? Guyys Faco has a website called Goop and Goop is such a bad name. It's like a lifestyle website. And that is true. She bought out a candle that was supposed to smell like her her h front like hers or like them in general I don't know. It's a good question. Oh my Godd, guess how much it costs How what the candle? Yeah How much? seventy five Yeah Weird. I mean, there are so many like aromas that I would like a candle to smell of and just vagina isn't one of them. she bring out more range like Cheesy Ballsack candle? Morning breath. And the whiff of anal beard. like what are you going for here guys Guy What? Anal bid I don't know. R. Somebody called Uker let's just move on so she doesn't make us cut it out. No. Uk said, Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. That is the level of tone death that we're Witing And Aaudacious wrote, I never found Wunys Palro's pseudos scientific girl boss catalyst stick cute But her latest apartheid Pentouses codab is truly irredeemable Yeah. And John Kusak said big sellers over a post that said reaking, Gwneth Pro and Goop are releasing new scented candles. One is white phosphorous and the other smells like apartheid, limited time only. Hmm, wonderful High interest debt is one of the toughest opponents you'll face Unless you power up with a so far personal l A so far personal loan could repackage your bad debt into one low fixed rate monthly payment It's even got super speed Since you could get the funds as soon as the same day you signed Visit Sfi d. com slash power to learn more That's soFi d. com slash PW E looans originated by Sfi Bank NA, member F theIC terms of conditions supppply andMLS six nine six eight ny one We are heading to Trump's America now Yep, that scratch was right because it's all going to shit. Starting with the reflecting pool, which has already gone all like green from ye Alay, which is like whatever. Al gay or algae. Al gay. I. It's alge al. It's like when you say Ranian, this is premian verion al gay You only get ale in premium pools. Gore it.'s like luxury sewies. Anyway, guess who's being blamed for the al gay D who, Democrats I don't think you've seen this because you've been at your desk working. I was having a little troll just before we came to the mic. You know they are busy right now in real time pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool on Trump's command because he's so furious that the water has gone from blue to green. So's why I put in my hair, make it make it full of chemicals, so disgusting. And then what's happened is at the moment, at time of record The sides of the pool have gone blue. They've still got this big p. Green strip down the middle. I mean the emperor is off his rocker. Why can they never get anything right? And why do they blame the Democrats for everything? Ted Lou, the Democratic senator said It's my fault for Photosynthesis My friend Laura was saying, You gonna cover what the fuck is going on at the White House? L in terms of what he's done to it. I said, yes, don't worry. we are. I think in the last episode, I trailed it up and called it. now I think as said that he's turned it into a vile version of Pasant World Aventures basically. It's got worse. Obviously the fight has happened, but in the build upp, I think I sent you a video and was it was you know, when you see like a motorbike stunt show basically like motorbikes just like going down these ramps and flying off into the air right in front of the White House and Mark Norman shared it with the caption, This looks like a Disney movie where a twelve year old becomes president And it's exactly that As you remember Richie rich. It's like Richie rich McDonald's in the White House, that kind of vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, free sweets everywhere. It is absolutely unreal. Melanie Darijo said We have this over a picture. I mean It's just hard to explain. It's like the whole thing is bathed in like violet light. There's just explosions, fireworks going off and it's just so out of place. And she said, but kids' cancer research was deemed wasteful spending. Yeah So to set the scene, right? this event at the White House, which is just another opportunity for Trump to make money, was build as UFC Freedom two hundred fifty. and it was supposed to be celebrating America's two hundred fiftieth birthday, but because he's such an empty The date was moved from july the fourth. A Numpty or a narcissist. Let's go with both. mooved from july the fourth back to june the fourteenth. Why bigigger was his eightieth birthday So suddenly the briefs changed in it. Yeah. Yeah. So basically America's birthday party became Trump's birthday party because Narcissist. So this fight is happening. He fell asleep during it, by the way. He's falling asleep more and more and there was a really lovely picture because it's like there's a cage kind of around the fight. and so you you see Trump's face through the cage and someone wrote I could get used to this view of Tom's face actually, behind a cage thisuff. Yeah, timee of recordings passed out at the G seven. that all the G seven leaders try to have a photograph and Macarons' like, can't get it through. I mean, they're all literally laughing at him of course in this meeting. There was one point as well where he shook hands with Narendra Modi, but it looked like he was bouncing on him. I almost needed him to steady himself. And then he was shaking well, was he shaking Macron's wife's hand? Itust looked like he was holding it. Like he kind of forgot that he was holding Macron's wife's hand And when she eventually managed to free herself, she kind of just run to Rcaw for safety as bloody would. So yeah all good signs. But again, going back to the fight and I had to check if this was genuine becausecause this is what Donald Trump posted on the day of it Today is both signing day for my beautiful peace treaty Firstday party With the wait for it. with the glistening men Fighting in the ring. Okay. And another day when gas is nearly two dollars at a station near you, There's not? Thank you, my good people. all I ask is Trump twenty twenty eight.. or he asks, I just want to pause on the glistening men there. Yeah Gistening men do that. Glistening men. Okay. Judge Woof wrote. Glistening men fighting in the ring is such a bic curious sentence. It really really is. Back to Macron's wife, she's just very lucky that he didn't grab her by the pussy his Oh you know, that's what guys do area form. Yeah, it really has. Anyway, hacked reality said Bought UFC stock Then he announced a White House UFC event, approved the paramount merger that streams it exclusively, made his own social media company a sponsor, gave his friend, Dana White control over press access, and Rumo called it a gift to the American people. So therefore, Marina, maybe when we go on about how dense he is, how unfit, how D da Maybe not. Because if he can do all that You know, what I'm saying is it sounds like his marbles are intact. I wonder if that's him. Maybe his marbles are just intact from A how like he's always been a greedy fucker is alive, right Maybe it's like one of those things you never lose. greedy instinct to make money. or we could do this. Why do we do that? do this? do that like, you know Obviously not a bloody clue elsewhere and FactPost wrote, an advertisement for Trump's cryptocoin plays mid broadcast during coverage of the White House UFC fights. L wow bievable I mean, the corruption, it's just absolutely unreal. So the fights as we mentioned were streamed on Paramount, CBS's streaming service, and that is relevant because Paramount has recently been in the news for settling a lawsuit with Trump over a sixty minutes interview, firing respected journalists from CBS and basically generally just doing what the president says, Codating him. Exactly. And now onto the most grotesque thing to come out of the event, which spilled out of one of the fighters' mouths. So a guy called Josh Hoett or Hockket He's a heavyweight fighter And the day before the fight at the Weigh in, he actually I don't know if he was drunk or if he was pretending to be drunk And he stumbled to the scales and he looked like he was vomiting on himself. And he said this is a direct quote Who wouldn't be drinking? I have a giant black man that wants to knock me out? That's nice.,'s lovely, isn't it? It a few warning signs, A few flags established there. Yeah. And then he goes on to win his fights and he walks up to Trump, who's sitting or you sleeping in the front row, hands the president a gold chain. and then this is the awful, awful bit. He gets interviewed by Joe Rogan, obviously he's there Even though he lik to make out on his podcast that he's a bit like questioning MAGa and rolling back actually. when he's paid to be there, you know, he jumps and he's jumps over of a high fucking Trump wants him to jump. So Joe Rogan's there is live on Paramount pllus with thousands of people watching thousands of people on the South lawn and the president there all just Wing And the fighter to Joe Rogan, says this. And lastly Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America a abolutely disgusting. And by the way, you see this sort of whole scene, which is like a mixture of sort of the hunger games sort of meets I don't know. I keep going back to that lottery winner Mikey Carrool, who had all that money and didn't know what to do it and just wrecked everything. meets shameless, meets I don't know And then you think about the Obamas the most graceful Lassy couplple How Dare that man. How dare he But why why is Michelle still living in their heads? Why did she bother them so much? And why was there absolutely zero pushback There was nothing there from Rogan Just no, no like addressing it no We don't condone that The rest of the broadcast just continued as normal. That remark went addressed for the entirety of the remaining brocast. Well what they've done there, they've taken their three favorite sort of isms, if you like, and they've rolled it into one. They've managed to be sexist, racist and transphobic in a nice sort of tidy package all aimed out one woman. Do you think Melania will have anything to say actually on this. I strongly suspect I'm going to go with no. That's a real shame because if you recall, she wrote a frigin essay a while back. Do you remember where she was urging ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel after he made that little joke about her on his own show And yet you know that she'll be like, what yout think' okay No letter, no condemnation. And also I just want to name this whole conspiracy theory stupidity around Michelle Obama because I think sometimes you we don't cover that or we assume you know about it. But basically it's a years old baseless, far right conspiracy theory that Michelle Obama, who is Harvard educated lawyer, She's a mother of two, former firstirst lady of the US is transgender. It has no basis in fact whatsoever. It's used as an insult, it's racist, It targets a black woman who has been in public life for decades And she has said nothing to prompt it, has done nothing to prompt it did not ask to be in that classless tacky arena on that night and actually has no recourse against that prick who yelled it into a microphone live on Boody Paramount Yeah of her former home Yeah. She's also suchuch an amazing woman, so beautiful and just worth a million of these toe rags Ibraham EX said. One of the oldest racist ideas about black women is that they're men Enslavers deployed this racist idea to justify forcing black women into the same heavy and backbreaking field labor as enslaved black men. And now today, racist theorists have repeatedly used this idea to degrade prominent black women, including Michelle Obama. This racist idea rests on the patriarchal idea of men as inherently strong and women is inherently weak. I mean, All of that is absolutely true. They happen to have also done it about Macron's wife. Yeah. You know, they've put out an idea that she may be transgender as well. I mean fuckem all, J Pet Trotch wrote, The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. And that's a quote from Malcolm X in nineteen sixty two. And he wrote sadly sixty four years later That truth was on full display on the lawn of the White House And now we're going to move on to more serious matters of war. So Trump's war with Iran, the wishes of Netanyahu, of course A bloody embarrassment, capitulation, disgrace like of a peace deal on his part. We're going to break it down v your traers because it's Is it a joy? There's parts it. look, it's a war and it's a peace treaty. So, of course, let's put this in perspective. But it's a joy to see him so and so embarrassed. It's hilarious in attitude So Iran, a country he bombed, a country he started a war with and has been calling for the better part of a decade the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism. Well now He's reportedly due to facilitate a fund. Let me just get a drum roll ready, Marina to pay them three hundred billion dollars to rebuild What he helped Destroy That is just epic work there. wonderful. The New York Times quoted sources saying the fund would not come from governments but be created companies eager to invest in Iran Except, by the way, Trump's denying all this, he's saying it's not three hundred billion dollars. He went on trrh social and wrote The story that the U.S is paying around three hundred million dollars is fake news. put out by the Democrats So he said three hundred million Hm, the number A really three hundred And it's like J' like I'm going to put the clip in. It is like when what's his face, Austin Powers gets all confused with the numbers Do you remember this clip If you want it back You're going to have to pay me One million dollars Sorry One hundred billion dollars. Gentlemen silence. Exactly. It'sutely extraordinary. Doid you know what occurred to me? He could go to his old paly long and go, canan you lend me some money And Elon Mas could actually give him that amount and be absolutely fine still have so much spare But also what what What? I know, I know, it's absolutely pathetic. So by the way, we need to remind you trawlers that Trump has spent years whanging on about Obama and how his deal was a capitulation So apparently giving Iran one point seven billion wasars ransom apparently according to Trump, giving any money to Iran was completely unacceptable. He literally campaigned on the idea that Biden was weak on Iran. But do you remember him as well winging on about the pallets of cash Pallets of bloody cash. Yes. Pallets of cash, That became a whole thing. So a whole Republican talking point was Obama sent pallets of cash to Iran, which for the record, was Iran's own money that had been frozen. So yeah, pallets of cash very, very bad. And now this week, JD Vance has gone on to CBS News and he has confirmed that Iran could have access to, and I quote Th hundred billion dollars mean in reconstruction funding So long as they honor their end of the obligation. So in other words, an entire forortune to mend what we've wrecked for no apparent reason Anyway, here he is. S make it makes sense. Walk through some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're gonna to have access to a three hundred billion do dollars reconstruction fund, true or false. Well, Ed, 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 overe 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 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 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. It's important for all of us to correct that record. jection Cabbage patch bell cheese there talking about how they've achieved absolutely worse than nothing. It's just such an abysmal failure Obama had it sorted, the deal was fine Nothing needs to happen Yeah And then don't forget as well, this is on top of all of the money that taxay US taxpayers have actually paid to fund that war by day twelve. It was like sixteen and a half billion. billion dollars a day. So God knows where it is now, but you know Art of the deal I'm going to buy his book, I think actually. I think I need to learn more about the arrt of the deal because This is a way of dealing and negotiating. I must say, I've not been privy to all of my life. And Paul Lee five hundred ninety five, said, Breaking. United States becomes the first country in history to pay three hundred billion dollars to a country they defeated fifty times in one war. Yeah. And Tuta Turtle wrote The deal is basically a US surrender, but it's better to take the humiliation now and move forward than to keep spending more money to blow more shit up There was only ever one way to win. and that was never to start the war. And also can we just pause one minute? We've seen All of the explosions and this that and the other and they sent over the bombs S all the sh up And then it all just needs to be rebuilt back up again And not a pathetic Static Petic set of behaviours.ust so I' supposed to believe these are the crownups in the room. Th the theseese the serious p in charge Actually also just probably came to air I don't tweet much these days, but I went on Blue Sky earlier and I said, whyy is there so much stupid about So today, we might put it in next week, Sarah Poachin the Dad for reform. She stood up and she asked a question in Parliament about special forces. And the labour guide just got and said, You can't ask that. It's a rule. We don't talk about special forces in Parliament because it's bt for national security. And she's like, H. And then I'm looking over there and you've got people in America pouring hydrogen peroxide into a pool to make it Go from green to blue. Well they hand over Th of a billion dollars T fakes Lads of shit that they didn't need to do Calm down, Jum, deep breaths. Deep breath, deeep breaths. so much stupid. I'm gonna carry on with this stupid this time. Move onance. More Vance so out of his depth. Listen to the state of this and Jadie Vance go and read a freaking history book Christ, this is how wars ultimately gets settled. If you go back to World War two, if you go back to World War one, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation. no C My history teacher, Mrs. Latimer, would have things to say My history teacher Mr. Straassen talking GCSE level Vance would also It is green Louis Good or Row, Ah yes That famous negotiation where Japan unconditionally surrendered after two atom bombs. and Hitler Blew his brains out. Good community note as well. The community not was. World War two ended with unconditional surrender by Germany on may eighth, nineteen forty five and Japan on september second, nineteen forty five rather than negotiation, but just clock the conviction with which He delivers that absolute bullshit. I'm going to say there's a lot of MAGa didn't even know that World War two had happened. Oh my go. Anyway, this deal that's just part of the deal that's just been signed. basasically allows Iran to continue low level uranium enrichments. That's good because it could't do that before Yeah. so they've bombed their nuclear facilities and the deal is they can still enrich uranium. Yeah, but very low level under supervision possibly. Well, right. So I've just seen an interview with Trump And he's now backing away from even getting Iran's enriched material. He actually says in his interview, Well, you could make the case, why even bother going into to get it It's not very valuable stuff. Like how damning this was the main justification for the war and nowag to now They than giving them three hundred billion dollars to rebuild. L that that just makes me think they get I know they might do some wrriching with. So what's really super as well just another minor point is that a lot of the buildings that have been bombed include like heritage beautiful UNESCO sites that were sort of thousands and thousands of years old. So literally irreplaceable. I tell you what, if the kind of construction work outside the White House has anything to go by, should we not allow the US to be in charge of what Iran looks like in the future?? Otherwise it would look like sort of It absolute buu a shide. Yes, Yes. I'm just going to add one more point showing the strength of the art of this deal. Iran's deputy foreign minister said that those funds need to be released. so the frozen funds, which are twenty four billion, they need to be released before any nuclear negotiations can even begin. So So the U.S is kind of paying them. to have the conversation Oh, great. Shall we give this whole deal the kind of response it requires? Come on right let's like fart noise? that I'm just going to go with No hands up M, m. So look let's do a quick compare and contrast because I think it's very, very important. Shall we do that, Marina P?es Okay become to the troll for H hornalis. No, they do, they do. they have to be bloody too. Just to hear me having a breakdown.

Iran was complying and it cost one point seven billion in Iran's own frozen money. And you know the Republicans were like, this is capitulation. It's humiliation. It's a ransom. Pallets of cash. Pallets of cash. Pallets of cash. The worst deal in history. A bomb is weak. Biden is weak and anyone who negotiates with Iran is weak that Yes. That was very comprehensive. Now, can you tell us more about Trump's twenty twenty six? Ay deal Okay so we've got a sixty day ceasefire. We've got a nuclear program which is not yet resolved. Iran may keep enriching uranium. We've got twenty four billion dollars in frozen assets to be. unfrozen And they're giving them three hundred billion for a reconstruction fund. And the cost of getting there is somewhere between twenty five billion and potentially one trillion dollars in military spending, thirteen American service members killed and damage to US bases across the Gulf. But the Republicans are saying, come on. they s's brilliant. Oh my God. Yeah, best money. was gonna say amazing historic, brilliant, the best money ever spent liberating Wow, wow. Kima Webb wrote.

Donald Trump on truth social rights US trade deficit widens by the most in nearly thirty four years It widens guys. you don't have to be an economist I think that's not ideal. And also you don't even have to have a very good memory to remember that Trump bought in the tariffs because he was worried about apparently how big the trade deficit was and yet he is sharing that like he's happy about it. I dread. A badge. Yeah. W done Daddy you fucking idiot? Greay Dred sixty nine said Yes. He posted it. Yes, it's real. Yes. He thinks it's a flex. We have the dumbest president . Okay, a little palletinser ' woke up. World Cup is is going It's going. Yeah. We don't know whether England won because we're recording this before the first match. so this is going. Are you going to stay up for it J? Yes I am. I think I'm going to go around to Nigel's to watch it tonight. I g r to Nigel's. I was going invite myself We' gonna have pizza. Nice. Despite the US's attempts to kind of wreck it, there are some wonderful moments coming out of it. So there was one where we saw the Senegal team and they showed up and they were dancing to their match at the beginning and their joy was bloody, infectious. and also when the tiny nation of Kurasau, is that you saying au, I think of Caracassau scored their first ever World Cup goal against Germany. Yeah. It was their celebrations you couldn't help but just feel. I mean, they went on to lose quite significantly. But they had that moment, they had that moment. They did. They did. it was like Cape Verde, which is a tiny little spit of a place and they got a draw, didn't they against I can't remember which came, but that was amazing as well. Yeah And the Scots have been making their mark as well. so the Scots want against Haiti They won one nil. they were going through Boston, I believe, with their beautiful bagpipes and their beautiful drinking appetites so much so that Boston pub owners were running out of beer. Jesus. running out of beer. And one of the Scottish fans said this was in a CBS newews article One fan arriving at Logan Airport summed up his priorities perfectly. You you want to it in a Scott accent actually,imm, I can't do Oh Godd, sorry, Scottish listeners. Here we go. I'm going to find cheers. That's what I want to do. I want to find cheers. I watched it when I was younger. Sorry I think it's beenens you did it Oh God, and of course, a little note to our England fans as well, who as reported seemingly by politics Joe face being kicked out of the stadium for chance during the World Cup. I believe the chant was he's fat with piles. He's in the Epstein files Trump Sob that As's a long beep needed for that one, please, Adam a L beep. Long beep. v although they have been apparently singing really awful things about Kis Darma as well also potentially getting themselves kicked out. So you know down Marina, Bing it down. Finally, how good is this? Argentina, this is amazing. I've handed US authorities a list of thirteen thousand parents, mostly fathers, who are behind on child support to block them from attending World Cup matches via the FIFA fan ID system. And the mayayor Bonosari said it plainly If you don't provide for their children, they will not be allowed into the stadium I feel like he needs to do a fan clack after that. Pay your child support, watch the football. It's as simple as that? Yeah. Soone could hard to say I love you R. If you can afford a worldorld Cup ticket, you can pay your dues and I personally love that for Argentina, leveraging the global spotlight of the tournament to basically like chase down dead beat Bell end parents that is quite the move. and I would say, make that one universal.
