23 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What triggered Donald Trump's psychotic meltdown today?

0.031 - 20.943 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is going ballistic this morning as he is preparing to cave to Iran. Trump is making social media post after social media post, each more deranged than the next. Iran issued its final ultimatum to Donald Trump, communicated through Pakistani mediators who have been in Tehran over the past 24 hours.

21.243 - 45.62 Ben Meiselas

This would be a deal if accepted by Donald Trump and the United States, which is far worse than Obama's deal. But Donald Trump rushed to hold an emergency call, not with the United States Congress, nor is he addressing the American people, but it's a phone call with Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, and Egypt, which is taking place right now.

46.021 - 66.673 Ben Meiselas

And then, rather than address Congress or address the American people about a deal that would be much worse than the Obama non-nuclear deal that Donald Trump pulled us out of, Donald Trump rushes to Barack Ravine from Axios, who does a lot of Donald Trump's propaganda and, in my opinion, causes the markets to be manipulated.

66.653 - 74.565 Ben Meiselas

whether knowingly or unknowingly, and Barack Ravid posted the following this morning. It's like clockwork, isn't it, folks? Here's what Ravid posted.

Chapter 2: What ultimatum did Iran issue to Donald Trump?

74.625 - 100.962 Ben Meiselas

He's from Axios. Trump told me on a phone call that he's 50-50 when it comes to a deal with Iran or resuming the war. Either we reach a good deal or I'll blow them to a thousand hells, he said. Trump told me he'll meet today with his senior advisor to discuss the details of the updated draft. and may make a decision by tomorrow. I'll blow them to a thousand hells, is what Donald Trump is saying.

101.102 - 129.111 Ben Meiselas

And then Axios runs the story, not about the blow them to a thousand hells, but exclusive. Trump says he's 50-50 on Iran deal or bombs. We'll meet envoys to decide. So more threats of genocide by a genocidal maniac leader in the United States. Donald Trump posting the following on social media. China loves Trump with a photo of Donald Trump in front of Chinese women holding Chinese flags.

129.732 - 152.699 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump posts a map of the Middle East with Iran having the American flag placed over it. Donald Trump posts yet again this image that he's been posting multiple times a day now of himself. It's an AI image of himself looking over in the mountains, I suppose, in Greenland. And it says, hello, Greenland.

Chapter 3: How is Trump responding to the potential deal with Iran?

153.239 - 179.567 Ben Meiselas

And it's him kind of leering over like the sexual predator that he is. This is a new AI meme that he posted this morning, a very racist meme on Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna. And it's a photo of Ro Khanna with fangs holding a sheep that apparently has money in it. And Ro Khanna, then it says, sleazebag Ro Khanna, lies, lies, lies.

0

179.707 - 202.335 Ben Meiselas

And then Trump writes, a Democrat, don't allow this sleazebag on Fox News. So Donald Trump is so intimidated by Ro Khanna, he's saying, don't allow Ro Khanna to be on Fox News. How pathetic can you get? And then Donald Trump posting photos of himself with Xi Jinping. I want to talk about the offer that Iran gave to Donald Trump.

202.355 - 223.168 Ben Meiselas

It doesn't alter really anything that Iran has previously said since the beginning of March. I mean, here we are, though, heading in Memorial Day weekend, heading into, you know, heading into June. And Iran saying, here's our offer. Here's our offer. One more time, Donald. Here's the offer. Here's where we're at.

US and Iranian negotiators may be extending the ceasefire by 60 days under a mediated deal that would include a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but still under the sovereign control of Iran. They would just waive the toll fees, but their port authority controls it.

241.394 - 259.318 Ben Meiselas

talks on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, eased restrictions on Iranian ports, sanctions relief, and the phased unfreezing of Tehran's overseas assets, the Financial Times report. And you may be saying, as I look through these things, like details, gradual reopening of Strait,

259.298 - 292.611 Ben Meiselas

It would also include a commitment to discussing perhaps diluting Iran's highly enriched uranium, whereas under Obama's deal, it was removing the highly enriched uranium and diluting it and having international inspectors make clear that there was no enriched uranium weapons grade in Iran. But now, what a great deal. They're going to discuss a framework to discuss potential diluting. Yay!

292.631 - 308.897 Ben Meiselas

And they're gonna reopen the Strait of Hormuz gradually, which was open before, and Iran controls it. Yay! The US would ease its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the blockade of the blockade, okay. The US would also begin an unfazed freezing of Iran's assets.

308.877 - 340.487 Ben Meiselas

So wait a minute, you all got livid at Obama for unfreezing Iranian assets at a very small amount that frankly predated the revolution and was just actually was Iran money to begin with. And now you all are going to do that on steroids times 100? What the art of the deal, folks, the art of the deal. The sequence of events, though, is Iranian officials told Al Jazeera.

340.988 - 363.745 Ben Meiselas

Trump rushed to Barack Ravid to manipulate the market, but the sequence was an Iranian official told Al Jazeera that Iran reached a draft agreement with Pakistani mediators and was waiting for the U.S. response. This was Iran with Pakistan. MB Galibaf, Iran's parliament leader. He was meeting with Pakistan's leader yesterday.

Chapter 4: What controversial social media posts did Trump make?

573.481 - 578.526 Unknown

How do you and he fix that before November's midterms?

579.704 - 587.903 Mike Lawler

Look, there are some really positive indicators. Take-home pay is up. The stock market continues to hit record highs.

588.223 - 601.031 Ben Meiselas

Yes, and while the American people are absolutely suffering right now, here's what the DOJ is also doing. Hat tip to Merrill Kornfield over at the Washington Post. She does a great job. And here's what she uncovered on the DOJ website.

601.351 - 623.001 Ben Meiselas

The Trump administration is quietly deleting info about capital attacks and about the capital attack from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to January Sixers. Right. Donald Trump's one point eight billion dollars slush fund. Now they're going through the slush. DOJ website, and they're deleting all this stuff from the DOJ website that relates to the January 6th insurrection.

623.461 - 648.432 Ben Meiselas

This week, the DOJ deleted a press release about one man with an ongoing child solicitation case who came to the Capitol with bear spray. And you can see right here, and it's a man named Andrew Take. Andrew Take actually pled guilty to child solicitation, child sex crime in Houston. Ten years he's on these. He had a register as a as a as a registered child sex offender.

649.213 - 679.472 Ben Meiselas

And you're removing that guy's information from the DOJ website. Someone who was involved in assaulting law enforcement, someone who was with bear spray and a metal whip. How's it going on here? Well, that's where we're at right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way, as always. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching, y'all.
