In short

The host argues that a U.S.-Iran ceasefire is collapsing, Iran is mocking Donald Trump online, and Trump is panicking—begging Europe/NATO for plans about the Strait of Hormuz while threatening renewed force.

Guest backgrounds

No named guests are introduced in the transcript. The episode instead plays clips from Fox News personalities: Jesse Waters, Laura Ingraham, Megyn Kelly, and a “Morrow” (unnamed in transcript).

Key claims

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and will charge about $2M–$2.5M per tanker; passage is “barely functioning” (no tankers, only a few cargo ships). Iran will collect tolls via cryptocurrency and require permission. Trump’s “10-point plan” allegedly grants Iran uranium enrichment, reparations, removal of U.S. bases, and security guarantees for regional groups. Trump’s midnight post threatens “shooting starts” if terms aren’t met.

Notable examples

References to New York Times reporting on shipping delays; Trump’s NATO/Europe “concrete plans within days” comments; repeated “pressure point” talk about Hormuz; and Iranian “AI Lego” meme videos mocking Trump as an “Epstein regime” figure.

0:29Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is crashing out as his ceasefire is collapsing and Iran is celebrating their victory over Trump and his regime. Iran is posting video memes of Donald Trump holding a white flag of surrender. Iran is posting memes of their flag saying, welcome to the new world superpower, Iran. They're posting these AI Lego videos where they mock Donald Trump and call him the Epstein class leader and talk about his cover up of child sex trafficking rings. And they mock his surrender and capitulation and his service to Netanyahu at the expense of the United States of America and America's former allies.

1:16Ben Meiselas:Now, Donald Trump is panicking as he sees that he was on social media all last night making post after post. He's also now back to begging Europe and NATO for help. So earlier in the day yesterday, he said, NATO wasn't there when we needed them, and they won't be there if we need them again. Remember Greenland, that big poorly run piece of vice DJT. So that's what he said earlier yesterday. And then last night, what we learned is the U.S. is pushing its allies to move quickly on securing the Strait of Hormuz after the ceasefire. And Donald Trump has asked, or I should say, begged European countries to present concrete plans within days for what to do with the Strait of Hormuz.

2:05Ben Meiselas:Why are you begging European countries, Donald, didn't you say that the Strait of Hormuz is now open and all of these tankers are being able to leave the Strait of Hormuz? Didn't you say that's what you got in the ceasefire? Oh, wait, when you read Iran's 10-point plan, I know you don't like to read, Donald. One of the things you agreed to is Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and they get to charge$2 million per tanker that goes through the Strait of Hormuz. Take a look at this image right here of the Strait of Hormuz, as the New York Times reported. The Strait of Hormuz may be included in the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, but in practice, it's barely functioning.

2:46Ben Meiselas:No oil or gas tankers have passed through since the agreement, and only a handful of cargo ships have crossed. Four cargo ships, mostly Iranian flagged, not tankers, so no oil on any of these ships. Even where passage might be possible, Most shipping companies remain cautious and are avoiding the route right now. Also, Iran is rolling out more information about its plan to collect these tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. So they plan to charge tankers cryptocurrency fees to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and you have to email them. They give you permission or don't give you permission. They tell you where to send the money to using the cryptocurrency, and they'll ask you a bunch of other questions.

3:30Ben Meiselas:Then they say that they've mined the entire Strait of Hormuz, so the ship has to go to the coast of Iran. And then it's very close to where all the Iran ballistic missiles are pointed and drones and can easily shoot one of these ships if there's any view that it poses a threat to Iran. Iran is controlling the Strait of Hormuz with an iron fist. But let's be clear, that was in the agreement that Donald Trump ultimately accepted. So then late last night, here's what Donald Trump posted. He posted this at around midnight last night. All U.S. ships, aircraft and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement reached is fully complied with.

4:23Ben Meiselas:If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the shooting starts. bigger and better and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary, no nuclear weapons and the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe. In the meantime, our great military is loading up and resting, looking forward actually to its next conquest. America is back, its next conquest. Do you realize what you sound like, next conquest? You are a war criminal. You are a felon. You are a genocidal maniac. You are a despicable individual. The next conquest.

5:03Ben Meiselas:So as Donald Trump is panicking, right, he's doing the begging Europe thing again, right? After attacking NATO and threatening to withdraw. Hey guys, can you submit like a plan of how we take over the strait of her moves? They're like, you figure it out, bud. This was your unlawful and catastrophic war. Good luck, bud. Do it on Europe. We're back to that phase again. Europe, they're going to give me a plan and they're going to do it, right? Doesn't this have the exact same pattern of COVID again in 2020? This is going to drag out and drag out and drag out. This is what Trump does. Ever wake up sweaty, freezing, or just uncomfortable?

But you know, Trump got his propaganda media working because as he crashes out, he's like, propaganda media, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, I need your help. And so this is what they have on Fox. They got this guy. Yeah. This guy. He's like, I know lots of people are saying taco. Trump always chickens out. But I got one. Nacho. Never avoid confronting hard obstacles. Nacho. Play this clip.

7:30Ben Meiselas:So Democrats are already saying that this is taco. Trump always chickens out. Let me give you another acronym. Nacho. Never avoids confronting hard obstacles. And that's Exactly what President Trump did. I'm hungry. He went in. I know, we were like, I made that up on my own. That's pretty good. Because I was thinking about the opposite of what that would be. He didn't check it out. He's willing to confront what previous presidents for 47 years couldn't do to stand up to him. Then Trump's other sycophant propagandist, Jesse Waters said, okay, one of the good things about this ceasefire deal is we know their pressure points now.

8:05Ben Meiselas:Trump's identified Iran's pressure points. What pressure points, Jesse? Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. A more powerful version of the Islamic Republic is in charge. Iran is now a, not just a regional power, but a world power. They have all of their ballistic missiles and Shahid drones, and the US is flailing. But okay, talk to us about pressure points. Let's play this clip. We have set them back militarily years, years they can't come back from this and they have no leadership they have nothing they have nothing left and we did it without boots on the ground and we only lost 13 brave service members and we did it within the timeline the president said he was going to do it if you had rewound it and said all these things could happen uh if this was going to be the result you would probably say yeah probably go for it i probably want to go for it uh now listen we got to win the peace this isn't over, but it does give the American soldiers a little R &R, which they need.

9:13Ben Meiselas:We can re-rack the guns. We can bring in more interceptors and we can watch. We can watch what the Iranians do. And if they screw around, we can go back and hit them. You know why, Jessica? Because we know their pressure point. We threatened bridge and power plant day. And what happened? komeini the gay ayatollah said we gotta sign a deal and the chinese came in and says guys your economy is already dead it's never coming back if you guys keep fighting sign a deal that was the reuters team and the times both reported that trump's threat made them cave and now we can just watch and we can go back in and do what we need to do but if you guys aren't gonna agree with the fact that we now call it the Gulf of America?

10:04Ben Meiselas:If you can't even say, yeah, that's good. Okay. We don't need you. You've been against everything this guy's done, good or bad. And they bring on another propagandist, this guy, Morrow, who's like, you know what? Say what you want about Trump. He's the first guy to say, we're not going to cut some BS deal. This is a good, he's not the guy who cuts a BS deal. This deal is quite literally a BS. It's a fake ceasefire. And to the extent it did everything, it's a total surrender of the United States. Again, go through the 10 points. I know I did so many videos going through the 10 points. I don't need to go over it again, but it's a total surrender to Iran.

10:41Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. And say what you want about Trump. He's the first guy who said, we're not going to cut some BS deal like Kerry cut in Austria that, oh yeah, there's a JCPOA and we're not naive and all that crap. No, you are naive. They were just kicking it down range so that they didn't have to deal with it. More from Jesse Waters, who goes on and talks about how, and now we have a joint venture with Iran. We're splitting the Strait of Hormuz profits 50-50 because Donald Trump says so. They ain't splitting the profits with you. There's no joint venture. Donald Trump agrees Iran has the Strait of Hormuz and they can charge$2 million to$2.5 million per ship.

11:22Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump agreed in the 10-point plan. Iran gets to enrich uranium and will build a nuclear bomb, essentially. Donald Trump agreed that Iran gets full reparations for the war. Donald Trump agreed America removes its military bases, all of them, from the Middle East. Donald Trump agreed to full security guarantees for Hezbollah in Lebanon, for Shiite militia groups in Iraq, for the Houthis in Yemen, and for Iran. It says it in the 10-point plan. I know everyone wants to pretend that's I know in state regime media, like, that was not a 10 point plan. It was a 15 point plan and Iran gave up. But you heard what Jesse Wider said, right?

12:01Ben Meiselas:Oh, I guess we're going to just allow for a little bit of a grace period. The president says we don't even mind Iran charging tolls as long as we get a 50 percent cut. He said a joint venture would be a beautiful thing. I'm not sure an Iranian toll booth with tankers even with the U.S. kickback is wise, but I'd rather have the Iranians taxing tankers than bombing them. I'm sure they'll hash it out at their Pakistani peace summit. It's not like we'd pay. We don't get oil from the strait. It's a small premium for peace in the Middle East. And then Jesse Waters is like, so if we go back in, the markets are not going to overreact.

12:39Ben Meiselas:Watch what Jesse Waters says right here. Let's play it. So we'll have more Marines in the region and we're still flying over Iranian airspace, monitoring the situation. A ceasefire is a release valve for the stock market. It's already almost rallied all the way back to where it was at the start of the war. Oil prices have already tapered off and every day we don't drop bombs, prices drop. If we go back in, it'll be a quick one too and the markets won't overreact. We hold the cards and the military is ready for everything. And here's what Laura Ingraham says. Let's play this clip. But Trump wanted to hear all of it.

13:15So what we can gather from this report is that almost everything we heard from the other side about how this all went down was a lie. Trump did not simply follow Bibi's recommendation. He was fully briefed from the Pentagon and intel communities. He did have an open and productive dialogue from his entire war cabinet, who each gave informed assessments. And finally, President Trump, as always, understood leverage, and then when he made his decision how to use it. This is how the White House is supposed to work. They're not supposed to sit over in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and do whatever the press or the pundits or cable or podcast hosts or global elites want them to do.

14:00The president is supposed to act in the long-term interest in security of the United States, not in his own short-term political interest.

14:10Ben Meiselas:And then you had, um, then you had, uh, what's it, Megyn Kelly just losing it here. Let's play this clip. Now, as you can imagine, that post did not go over well with the Iranians or with many Americans. I mean, I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. i'm just i'm sick of it can't he just behave like a normal human i mean honestly like the president all right 3d chess just shut up shut up about that and then she went on piers morgan and here's what she had to say you know she she's like it's all netanyahu's fault here play this clip trump watched us learn it and so what led trump what at 79 years old to sit in there in that situation room when Bibi Netanyahu was seated as an equal.

14:59Yeah. Trump didn't even sit at the head of the table. Trump sat at the side of the table and Bibi was across from him as an equal in the American situation room. What led him to sit there and buy what that guy was selling hook, line and sinker when every other president was able to see through that liar? What was it? Because he was told the next day by our own top advisors, from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to the secretary of state to the vice president, that these are lies and that these objectives are not going to be attainable. Don't believe him. We might be able to wipe out the Ayatollah, not regime change, Ayatollah.

15:38And we might be able to decimate some portion of their missiles and their military. Okay, that's true. But the goals, as stated by Trump, when we actually did pull the trigger, were all over the board into this moment. He's pushing the BS claim that we affected regime change. No, we didn't. It's the same regime, just different players. There isn't somebody more moderate in there at all. We have no reason to believe that. In fact, it looks like the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is in control now, which is far more radical. And the fatwa that had allegedly been issued by the Ayatollah on developing nukes is gone.

16:12Iran is more powerful economically. It controls the strait and now is demanding the lifting of all sanctions against it. And what Trump did with that 10-point plan was go from Monday saying, no, not good, to Tuesday saying, very workable, we can do it, as a means of saving face to bail off of his insane threats about annihilating an entire civilization. So I don't know how we got here, Pierce. I'd like to know just as much as anybody else, but all I can think in my head, based on what read in the paper is we got here thanks to Bibi Netanyahu, Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. And ultimately, President Trump.

16:49That's not to take agency away from the president who was bamboozled. I don't know why. He was too weak to say no. He was too gullible to see through the lies. One way or another, he allowed himself to be pushed into this insane conflict.

17:04Ben Meiselas:And meanwhile, Iran just keeps on making these like Lego mocking meme videos about Donald Trump. This is their latest one that they made on Donald Trump that they're distributing through Iranian media. Let's play it.

17:38Ben Meiselas:We've been doing it for years We're standing here for everyone Your system ever wronged They've known all along The enemy was always you The real threat war is looting Sung a patriotic song While selling their own citizens And calling it strong Stealing from your own people Making them bleed Taking tax dollars Just to fund your own greed They waking up to the lies The illusions are burst You screamed America first Now you put losers first Make Israel great again Your government is run by pedophiles They ordered you to die for Israel They ordered you to die for Israel They lied to you all We saw everything If the public ever saw the files, man, the planet would shake From the level of filth and the crimes in your wake No wonder Jeff called you the worst, you degenerate snake Um, you claimed you never set foot You went 40 plus times You sick bastard, you cooked We stepping up to the plate, Epstein regime gotta fall You fake Christian elite, sacrificing the ball Demon, you talk real big for a man with tiny hands Tiny hands, tiny things, tiny everything.

18:38Ben Meiselas:We saw everything. And word got out, the smallest kind of expands. No wonder all those rage tweets, all those desperate rants. Overcompensating bully, always causing the scene. You said you love losers. Well, look at your team. Your government is run by. Your government is run by pedophiles. They ordered you to die for Israel. They ordered you to die for Israel. They lied to you.
