Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Mycelis. This is your Breaking News. We've got a lot to discuss. Obviously, the developments following Donald Trump's appearance or his physical presence at the G7. His body was there. I'm not sure of sound mind, cognitive, physical deterioration before our eyes in such a massive way in a healthy media environment that would be not just a front page story, but it would be something that everybody would be talking about. It's why I don't ignore it. I don't mean to sound repetitive when we talk about Trump's physical and cognitive deterioration, but just like for the past four years, five years, We've been on the Epstein beat. We've been talking about the cover-up.
We've been talking about all of the connections, what was going down at Mar-a-Lago, all of the key players, the conspiracy before it was something that was being talked about. I just think it's important that we don't follow narratives that corporate media is pushing here. We lead the narratives. Because at this point, we have perhaps the biggest audience that exists right now in news. And the Midas Mighty needs to get the truth and get the information out together. So we'll talk about what went down at the G7. We'll talk about some of the developments just even over the past 12, 24 hours.
What is the significance of Trump's memorandum with Iran?
The Republicans are livid. at this memorandum of understanding that Donald Trump entered into on behalf of the United States. With Iran, we have everybody kind of piling on J.D. Vance, throwing J.D. Vance under the bus and saying, it was J.D. Vance who did it. Let's blame J.D. Vance for this. I think you all know my view, America should never have been involved in this catastrophic war in the first place with Netanyahu. Objectively, this is a far weaker deal. It's not even a deal, a far weaker thing than former President Obama's deal, the JCPOA and the Iran nuclear deal there. That said, it's undoubtedly a surrender by Donald Trump and the United States, but it's because Trump lost the war. That's what happens.
When you break something, you fix it. You have to. I mean, and of all of the possible options, this deal is the only option that I could think of that was the right decision. move. Now, we shouldn't have been involved in this catastrophic and unlawful war in the first place.
How are Republicans reacting to Trump's Iran deal?
Again, let's acknowledge that the deal is a worse deal than the Obama deal. The American people are suffering. It doesn't change that dynamic.
