GOP Leaders IN INSTANT PANIC on CAPITOL HILL over TRUMP DEAL!!!

GOP leaders were losing it and. scrambling around Capitol Hill as they. fear that Donald Trump has made the. worst deal imaginable in their minds. with Iran. Everything that they've been. telling their constituents and that. they've been saying, it seems like Trump. did the exact opposite for these MAGA. Republicans who bought into Donald Trump. saying, "It's going to be a total. surrender. It's going to be a total. surrender." I want to show you just what. went down on Capitol Hill and the Midas.

Touch Network was there to capture it. all. So, here's what we were hearing out. of Capitol Hill reporting. So, when the. Republican senators and Congress members. and leadership was asking the Trump. regime, "What should we tell our constituents. about these deal terms with Iran? $300. billion to Iran and investment funds. Iran still controls the Strait of. Hormuz. What do we tell them, Donald?". Well, this is what the Trump regime.

said, "People shouldn't read too much. into the language of the memorandum of. understanding. Ah, it's just a political. document. What's more important than the. actual document and the text is just the. understanding that we have with Iran. We. came up with this language that allows. Iran to say what they need to say for. their domestic politics. So, just ignore. the language. Ignore the language when. we release it. Just don't worry. That's. not what we're focused on. It's just our.

understanding with Iran." All right. So, the Midas Touch Network, we were on. Capitol Hill. Hat tip to all of you for. helping us build our Washington, D.C. bureau. So, we went up to Senator. Wicker, MAGA Republican senator, one of. the top leaders for Republicans in the. Senate. "What do you make of this?" He. was, "Ah, I'm withholding comment." Then. Pablo Manriquez from the Midas Touch. Network goes, "You're always the guy who. speaks on these. You've always been. saying you know what's going on. Now you.

don't want to tell us what's happening. That's suspicious. Watch for yourself. Let's play it.". >> And what would you say to critics of the. Trump's Iran deal that say that the. Straits of Hormuz were already opened? >> Well, I am withholding comment. >> Okay. How come? You seem to always know what's going on. Well, I'm withholding comment. >> Okay. >> Now this clip's gone mega viral. We. caught up with Lindsey Graham. That's. right. Thanks to you, our robust Midas. Touch Network DC correspondents group.

They got right there. They were asking. Lindsey Graham questions. And we're. like, "Hey Lindsey, what did you achieve? What's going on?". There's a bunch of other reporters. asking him questions as well. And. Lindsey Graham goes, "Here's what we've. Here's what we achieved. We opened up. the Strait of Hormuz. And. yeah, maybe we'll we'll see if we can do. a nuclear deal. But we opened up the. Strait." Here, play this clip. >> off on whatever agreement. >> I mean, well, under the law, any nuclear deal with Iran has to come.

to Congress for disapproval. It's what we did under Obama. And. President Trump said today, he will send. it to Congress. He welcomes a vote. Um here's what we achieved. If we This thing goes through Friday, we've opened up the straits, which will. help the economy of the world. Uh the world will be. in a permanent ceasefire, hopefully. And we'll try to get a nuclear deal with. Iran. And hopefully that will work out. If it doesn't, then we still achieved opening up the.

straits and, you know, stopping the. fighting. >> And then Lindsey kind of revealed his. hands. Haha, Lindsey. And Lindsey goes, "Okay, okay, okay. Now Saudi Arabia and. Israel, I think they owe Donald Trump a. lot at this point. I I. Why Why don't you become allies, Saudi. Arabia and Israel? You want to join the. Abraham Accords, uh Saudi Arabia? Saudi. Arabia is like, we ain't joining the. Abraham Accords. What are you talking. about? Here, watch for yourself. Let's. play it.

>> You know, stopping the body. I would encourage President Trump to. follow through with what he said today. Once um. we negotiate with Iran, even if he falls. short on a nuclear deal, turn your attention to trying to get. Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham. Accords. Now, Saudi Arabia and Israel. quite frankly, owe President Trump a. lot. It would be good for the region for. all of these two people these two. countries to make peace and do business. together in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Iran is in a bind. No matter whether we.

successful with the nuclear deal or not, their ability to generate another. October 7th is nonexistent. Uh their. nuclear program has been set back due to. the military action. So, now's the. moment. This is the year to have a. pathway to peace. And I will say this, if as a result of the Iranian conflict, the war with Iran, we're able to open up a pathway to. expand Abraham Accords, it will be one. of the most successful military. operations.

in American history. >> And then a reporter goes and asks, "So, Lindsey, the $300 billion investment fund. that's being discussed, you like it, Lindsey?" Watch his response. Let's play. it. >> Now, in terms of the $300 billion. investment fund that's being discussed, you know, what are your thoughts on. that? And then in a sort of separate. >> My thoughts are that. um. rebuilding Iran with the. the people in charge today. would be problematic for me.

Um. you know, the Marshall Plan rebuilt. Germany but the Nazis were no longer in. charge. So, we'll see where this goes. I'm open-minded to the deal. I haven't seen the details, but um. at the end of the day, pursuing an end to Iran's nuclear. ambitions through diplomacy makes sense. to me. Trying to end their desire to be the. largest state sponsor of terrorism. through diplomacy makes sense to me. But the deal assumes they'll change.

their behavior. Maybe they will. If they. do, fine. If they don't, I don't think. we lost a lot as long as we don't overly. reward them. So, to get this investment. fund, I think they have to fundamentally. change who they are and how they behave. Maybe they'll do that, maybe they won't. Count me in the skeptical column. The idea that strikes will be over and. will. will stop is a good thing. If nothing. else happens, that's a good thing. >> We have an important message to share. from our friends at Americans United for.

separation [clears throat]. of church and state. The Trump. administration's excessive Christian. nationalist rhetoric is only building as. we move toward the 250th anniversary of. the Declaration of Independence. AU is. highlighting a case involving federal. workers caught in the crossfire. A. multi-faith group of federal employees. filed a new lawsuit against the US. Department of Agriculture for violating. the separation of church and state and. the religious freedoms promised in our. Constitution. Americans United received. emails from multiple USDA employees. saying that the proselytizing Easter.

email sent by the Secretary of. Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins to more. than 100,000 USDA employees is an abuse. of power that violates the separation of. church and state promised in the First. Amendment. They are absolutely right. The hits keep on coming from this. administration, and Americans United is. doing their best to keep up the fight. against Christian nationalism. If you. want to help, head to au.org/midas. to learn more about their work and how. you can get involved. Americans United,

supporting everyone's right to live as. they choose so long as they don't harm. others. That's au.org/midas. And then we caught up with MAGA. Republican Senator Moreno from Ohio. Senator Moreno, there's $300 billion. that's being given to Iran. You like. that? Yeah, it doesn't matter. He goes. He goes, $300 billion, $500 billion, it. doesn't matter what money we give them. as long as it's not being directly paid.

by the United States taxpayer. He goes, "I just don't care." That's where. they went from regime change, total. surrender, only capitulation to yeah, if. we could route that US taxpayer money. through Qatar, we good with this. We. good. You're watch for yourself. Let's. play it. >> There's a $300 billion investment fund. that's being reported. You know, what. are your thoughts on that? Who who is.

involved? Should that exist and how is. that not effectively giving Iran a lot. of money or even unfreezing assets? >> Yeah, look at the end of the day, what's. crystal clear is that the United States. taxpayer, the United States government. will participate exactly zero money to. Iran. There will be not one cent of. taxpayer dollar given to the Iranian. government. So, however else they get. money, I just generally don't care as. long as it's not coming from the US. taxpayer. Again, these are reports that. are out there. We'll all be a lot. smarter on Friday. It turns out that the.

memorandum is exactly what's laid out. I've been talking to the White House, so. I have a pretty good idea. But. ultimately, what matters more than the. MOU is going to be the final deal and I. think probably the final deal will be. easier because most of the stuff has. already been kind of. pre-cleared this year. >> Oh, and Lindsey Graham continues more of. his humiliation ritual. I think we've. showed you enough of Lindsey Graham. Let. me show you Democrat Democratic Senator. Olson Brooks. Here's what she has to.

say. Let's play it. >> Well, have we seen the language in the. MOU yet? I mean, the the fact of the. matter is we have not seen any of the. details of this so that we can assess. for ourselves. how much of a was it worth the. sacrifice. We have escalating costs that. continue Americans continue to really. suffer with increased gas prices, utility costs. They're opening the. Strait of Hormuz which was by the way. open before this conflict started. So. after billions of dollars that we have. spent, I don't know that we are any.

safer. As a matter of fact, we're not. I. think we we have almost inadvertently. strengthened Iran through all of these. maneuvers in this war that was illegal. from the start. So is this a win for. Americans? I think they can tell. Ask. them at their kitchen tables whether. their lives are easier today than when. we went to war. And I think the answer will be. absolutely not. We're worse off. So this. whole effort harmed Americans here at. home and harmed us in our reputation. across the world and nothing that the.

president does at this point can erase. the damage that he has done with this. poorly thought out. There was no no. strategy going in and apparently no. strategy coming out. But the thing is. it's a a lie from the pit of hell if he. says that we won anything in this war. because we did not. >> Yeah, that's a normal response. How. people feel. Now contrast that to MAGA. Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville. We. asked him, "So what do you say to critics of the. Iran deal?" And Tommy Tuberville, this. guy is as shameless as as you get. And.

Tuberville's like he's running for. governor of Alabama. He goes he goes, "I don't listen to that. nonsense. We won the war and they did a. deal. We won the war and they did a. deal." Okay, that's not really what. happened here. Play this clip. >> What do you make of critics who are. saying that the Strait of Hormuz was. opened before we attacked Iran and now. it's open again so it's not really a. victory? A lot of people are saying that. >> I don't I don't listen to that nonsense. You mean it was a conflict. We won.

They agreed to. no nuclear weapons and that's the number. one thing we needed. >> But what the Iranians are saying they. won. >> Well, sure they sure they're going to. say that. >> Yeah. >> But hey, we all know the truth. >> Coach watches the scoreboard. >> Yeah, that's right. >> Thank you, coach. >> Thank you, coach. >> And then they they they threw J.D. Vance. on state regime media Fox, the show The. Five. And Jessica Tarlov was asking him. a lot of good questions. And and J.D. Vance is like, just look look look look. look. If Donald Trump were elected as.

the Ayatollah of Iran, the Democrats. would still say the United States lost. this. Here, play this clip. >> This is from the Republican side of this. as well. It is a a bipartisan concern. >> Well, I think look, some of the. criticism comes from the fact that if. Donald Trump were elected the supreme. leader of Iran, the Democrats would. still say that the United States had. lost this. There is a fundamental. refusal to acknowledge how much has. changed in the Middle East over the last. few months. And again, that assumes that.

nothing else happens. But if this deal. actually comes to fruition, meaning if. the Iranians actually comply with it, we. have transformed the Middle East in a. way that is amazingly beneficial for. both the American people, but also the. people of the Gulf. >> So, you want him to become the Ayatollah of. Iran? Yeah, if if any American president. became the Ayatollah, we would probably say, you lost the plot.

You lost the plot when you think. that that is a win. But uh but okay, then Senator Kennedy ran away from us. Maga Republican Senator from Louisiana. You can watch for yourself. >> Quick, what do you make of the fight. night at the White House? >> Who are you? >> Uh Pablo Manriquez. >> Who you met? >> We talked before. Um what what did you. make of the fight night at the. >> I don't know. I didn't go. >> Oh, okay. Um. I guess the big question everybody's. asking is so what about this guy who. called the White House a dump? you, mate. And then we asked Senator Thune.

about. the ballroom. $600 million. half being paid by the taxpayers. Watch. what Senator Thune had to say. Let's. play it. >> There are important security. requirements that go with any building. project in the White House. We want to. make sure that. any additions made down there are. completed in a way that ensures that the. president and others in his. administration. are safe and secure. And I think that.

that is something that I feel like we. have a responsibility to do and and so. the Secret Service and other. you know, agencies that protect the. president are obviously going to be. paying a lot of attention to how this. thing is structured, how it's built, and. I I do believe that there is certainly. some expectation that there would be. dollars allocated for that purpose that. would go above and beyond the private. money that's been raised. But I haven't. seen any of the the details on that. reporting and haven't seen a White House. response to it. So, you know, that's my.

general view overall about this, but. we'll get you more when we have the. specifics. >> There you have it, folks. Let me know. what you think. Hit subscribe.
