3:57Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is panicking this morning as the size of the crowds in Tehran continue to grow. What started with millions is now tens of millions of mourners for Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral procession. We're seeing tens of millions of people on the street in Tehran and in surrounding cities. I'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 going to finish the job. It won't be tough for 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.

4:45Ben Meiselas: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 there, Pope. Donald Trump entered into the MOU. You did the deal already. What deal are you talking to? There's nothing more to negotiate other than to make the deal into a long-form agreement. Here's what Donald Trump said. Play this clip. Maybe making a deal. I don't know. We'll make either. Look, we're going to win one way or the other. We're either going to make a deal or we're going to finish the job.

5:23Okay. And it won't be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful modern plants. They had a lot of money. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money, but we can knock out their electricity and power generating plants. And I would say a small part of an afternoon, every plant will be gone. And they know that.

5:59Ben Meiselas:Now, Financial Times has confirmed 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. Come on, Ben. Here's how Financial Times puts it. The funeral of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, could see a total of 12 million to 15 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. ever. Take a look right here, what you can see in Engelab Square and Azadi Square. I mean, the whole Tehran is filled with people.

6:39Ben Meiselas:And in addition to in the mosque mourning area, as well, here playing this clip.

7:00Ben Meiselas:so then 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 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 clip.

7:35Then Donald

7:52Ben Meiselas:Trump said that nobody ever heard of the Strait of Hormuz before this war. Nobody heard of it, he said, but it's a big money machine. You should learn your history. Everybody knew about the Strait of Hormuz. And by the way, I'll give you another piece of history as well. July 3rd of 1988, when the United States military destroyed an Iranian commercial flight, Iran air flight 655, killing 290 people. Yeah, the Iranians remember that and people remember what went down there anyway here let's play this clip of donald trump saying nobody's heard of the straight of homos the straight and the famous trait of hormones 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 tic tac people say that I get better ratings on tic-tac than Taylor 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 tic-tac 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 for babies where it invests in S &P 500 ETFs, these exchange traded funds.

9:27Ben Meiselas:Here, just play this clip of what he says. About two days ago, the new numbers just came out. You know who the number one person in Tic Tac is by far? Trump, me. I just got, I'm number one. Like Taylor Swift was number 11. I'm number one in Tic Tac 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'm president.

10:12because they, you know, I don't know if you know, the Biden administration became totally pro-crypto.

10:18Ben Meiselas:Here you have mourners at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral throwing stones at a billboard of Donald Trump. We can just show you that. Let's play it.

10:36Ben Meiselas: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's, 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 and people in his regime. Mourners throwing, you saw that. Lots 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 90 minutes. And then shortly thereafter, Putin launched one of his biggest ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv since the war began.

11:21Ben Meiselas:I think right now it's over 20 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 Omsk refinery, 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 2 ,500 kilometers away from Ukraine. And lots of people are saying that the way these drones had to attack, They actually went 3500 kilometers to attack from a direction that Russia didn't expect.

12:04Ben Meiselas:Let me show you the Omsk refinery. And again, this is one of the biggest refineries in all of Russia. Here, let's play this.

12:37Ben Meiselas: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 24 hours after the election. The guy lies about everything. Here, play this clip. I think we're getting much closer than people realize. And President Putin wants it to end. I will tell you that very strongly. Good call. And President Zelensky actually wants it to end now. And we're going to be going to NATO and we're going to be talking about it.

13:14And I think we're going to get it. I think we're going to get it ended.

13:17Ben Meiselas:It's been terrible. And then he goes on to brag about calling up Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, and having FIFA reverse a red card against one of the top US players. UEFA put out a statement on Foller and Bolligan getting the red card reversed and playing in tonight'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 2020 election, Donald Trump says. It's a big committee. And after reviewing it, I think they said, look, this would this game would have a big mark on it if we lost, if we won.

14:04No matter what happened, you have to let them use their best players. And the game tonight is going to be amazing. And we're going to have a full team. And Belgium is 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 2020. But I won't get into that.

14:28Ben Meiselas:Ladies and gentlemen. And then Ted Cruz was bragging about Donald Trump getting the red card reversed. This hadn't happened, 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.

14:54This is his interest. It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did. Mr.

15:04Ben Meiselas:President. Here's the statement from the European Soccer Football Federation statement on decision related to follower and ball again yesterday's decision to suspend a probationary period a year the implementation of the one match automatic suspension following the red card issue to follow and ball again 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 following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted.

15:42Ben Meiselas:It goes on to criticize the decision. Meanwhile, you had Benjamin Netanyahu going on state regime media Fox this morning and saying that only Israel should be able to have F-35s and not Turkey or no one else in the Middle East because, 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-35s to any other countries. Here's what he says. I don't think they should be given F-35s or the engines 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 by, I think, by America's posture in the Middle East.

16:26Ben Meiselas: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, this is precisely what we want. Come on. This is what he's saying this morning. Play this clip.

17:02Ben Meiselas:We've had over 13 ,000 strikes on them. You've had over 8 ,000 strikes on them. Why is that government still standing? Because it has a few hundred thousand goons who 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 pool. By the way, the reflecting pool still looks green today and it has all this ash from that disastrous fireworks show. Donald Trump making weird posts about himself sitting courtside at a Knick game from the 1990s. And then he writes or he reposts someone who says, thanks to Trumponomics, the US economy is hotter than the New York Knicks.

17:46Ben Meiselas:Like, why are you making sports so damn weird too and conflating 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. But most Americans are suffering right now, can'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 show you a little clip of this we don't need to show the full minute um so last night we had delcy rodriguez and diastado cabello giving medals thanking the u.s search and rescue teams in la guerra we have to give them we have to get everything has to be medals 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.

18:53Ben Meiselas:There's still tens of thousands of people missing and presumed dead over or close to 3 ,000 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 is a guy who there was a$25 million bounty on him. But that's the Trump regime for you. That's the Trump regime. Let's play it.

19:44Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you.

20:04Thank you.

20:16Ben Meiselas:and then the weakness of the trump regime obviously uh 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, who called it a threat to regional stability. We don't hear anything from Donald Trump. Kim Jong-un of North Korea did a cruise 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.

20:57And Michael Dell goes, sir, we don't have a helicopter.

21:00Ben Meiselas:We call it a Delicopter. It's the Delicopter, everybody. Let's play it.

21:08Every question is a kill. You know that. Every question. Every question is a kill.

21:16Ben Meiselas:Sir, we don't have a helicopter. We have a delicopter. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think about all of this. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
