LIVE: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IN WAR & TRUMP CRASHES MARKETS!!! 6/9/2026

This has been on breaking news. I'm Ben. Mecelis and this is your breaking news. All hell is breaking loose across the. world as a result of Donald Trump's. utter incompetence, his weakness, how. pathetic he is, is permeating the entire. globe. Donald Trump was getting booed. mercilessly at Madison Square Garden. last night for game three of the NBA. finals between the Knicks and the Spurs.

The Spurs won, which the Knicks had a. 13game winning streak before Donald. Trump showed up, forced Madison Square. Garden to basically shut down. NYPD had. to shut down the perimeter, taking away. the joy from the fans who were having. these uh parties outside and they were. having watch parties and celebrating. There was such great vibes in Manhattan. Donald Trump destroys that as he and his. cabinet members, you know, strolled in. on the motorcade and then Donald Trump.

showed up. He got booed during the. national anthem. He started stuffing his. face with hamburgers and French fries. and pizza. I mean like it looked like he. ate three burgers, five slices of pizza. and kept on stuffing his face with fries. and like throwing the trash on the floor. and then he fell asleep. He fell asleep. during the finals game. For those on. audio, I'm showing him sleeping next to. the billionaire owner James Dolan of the.

Nick. I think they're both sleep. this. is the NBA finals that you've destroyed. the experience of New Yorkers for you to. show up and fall asleep there. And then. he left seven minutes early. He then. leaves the game early so he could avoid. traffic. And while all of that was going on, a. Apache helicopter was shot down over the. straight of Hermuz or rather was hit by. a Shahi drone belonging to Iran because. Iran's made it very clear. This is our.

area. These are our territorial waters. So if you're going to fly Apaches or. you're going to fly any of your planes. over the straight, which is now jointly. controlled by Iran and Oman, it don't. belong to you. you live thousands of. miles away. So if you come here with. your Apaches, we are going to respond. And that's what happened. And the Apache. helicopter got hit with a Shahid drone. New York Times reported this last night.

If you look at the sequencing of what. went down, uh the Apache helicopter was. shot down at right around the same time. Donald Trump was leaving to go to. Madison Square Garden and the rescue was. taking place essentially while he was. there sleeping in Madison Square Garden. while he was stuffing his face with. burgers and pizza and French fries. The. rescue mission was taking place. He was. asked about it while he was on the.

tarmac and he was like, "Well, we don't. really know what's happening. I'll find. out more. I'll find out more." You know, maybe you should be doing your damn job. versus being in Madison Square Garden. where nobody wanted you there. And maybe. you should be focused on what's actually. happening in the damn globe right now. How about how about we do that? Then he. goes silent for. most of the morning until about an hour. ago or two hours ago. Um, meanwhile, the. markets crashed this morning. His.

beloved markets, my markets, my Dow, my. NASDAQ, my S&P absolutely crashed. They. started crashing last Friday. They. started crashing again. One of the. pieces of news now is because you can't. do this [ __ ] forever. Excuse my. language. You can't just have your Ponzi. scheme go on and on on. Eventually the. rubber meets the road. Eventually some. this is what I exactly what I've been. warning about now for forever. But.

especially I said look you can't keep on. dragging this on and saying oh am I. going to do a deal tomorrow? I'm going. to do another deal. My deal is going to. be so powerful. 21 trillion. I've done. this amount of money. At some point it. catches up to you. This is what's. happened in Donald Trump's life. His. whole life has been this scam. Like, don't you realize it? Look at this. orange freaking mutant right here. This. red-faced, orange-faced mutant right. here. This is not how human beings are.

supposed to behave. This is not normal. human behavior. I mean, over the. weekend, screaming at Kristen Welker, I. really won the 2020 election. You know, it's like, shut up, man. Grow up. It's. 2026. It sucks that you're the pres. It's the. worst that you're the president right. now. But you are. And as much as I. despise this person for everything he's. done, for the the infinite torture that. he's caused people in my country and.

this world and the and the horrible. things he's done. I still root for this. country. I still don't want to see. people suffer. And so I pray in hope. I'm just like, "Come on, man. Stop being. so damn weak. Stop lying about a deal. A. deal here. A deal. Damn. Doing a deal. Deal. Deal. Deal. My deal is going to be. so powerful. It's just shut the hell up. and either do the damn deal or do. something or get the hell out of the.

way." Right? I mean, literally, you're. in a leadership position, not just any. leadership position, you're in the most. important leadership position in the. country, in the world right now. that. comes with august responsibility. You. should be sacrificing because you're a. public servant, but you have to make. hard decisions. And we just see what a. it's like how did he bankrupt so many. things? This this is how he's bankrupted. so many things. What the hell are you.

doing in the straight of Hammuz? You're. pretending that this blockade is going. to crush Iran. You told us 60 days ago. that Iran had three days left. Three. days left. You told everybody and Wall. Street Journal and New York Times and. state regime media, they published your. crap that Iran had three days left cuz. you said they're suffering so much and. their pipes, their pipes, they just. can't handle all of the oil pressure and. the oil pressure is going to cause an. explosion and Car Island and Iran, it's.

going to blow up. we've got them right. where we want them and so we're gonna. make a deal and they're gonna they're. gonna our deal is going to be so strong. and powerful. That didn't happen. And it. didn't happen. I I saw CNN did a report. that was like he's made there have been. 38 days in the in the 100 plus days of. the war where he's said a deal is going. to happen in the next few days. Like. we're right there. We're right on the.

cusp. We've got the deal. It's right in. our sight. Like when you're when you. have no credibility in the world, when. you have zero credibility and your words. are no different than the trash that you. discarded on the floor haphazardly at. Madison Square Garden because you don't. even know the way garbages work because. you're garbage. And so you just throw. [ __ ] on the floor. Your words don't mean. anything. And and how could the leader.

of the This is where I say this isn't. political. This isn't a Democrat, a Republican, or. an IND. I'm not being a liberal here, despite having lots of views that align. with what people would be considering a. liberal or a progressive person because. I believe in human rights and decency. and compassion and lifting up. marginalized communities because I. believe in those things. But what I'm. saying right now should just be a. freaking adult. You know, I've worked in. law firms and I' and I run a business.

and I deal with professionals in. different circumstances every day. The. way he behaves, his behavior is not. normal. And we better be calling this out that. it is not normal human behavior. And. stop normalizing this [ __ ] Seriously, I. I I don't know why anybody who has a. platform on any type of news network. isn't saying it this way because this. behavior is so abhorent, not as a.

conservative or as a liberal, but as a. human being. He's unhinged. He sleeps. He lies with every sound utterance word. Everything the guy says is a lie. And in. the highest stake stuffs, he lies about. the highest stake stuff. And then he. lies about the stupidest stuff. Oh, they. applauded me. I would say it was. overwhelming applause. Overwhelming app. overwhelming applause. What are you. talking about? You were booed out of New. York, you delusional psycho. What? And.

you fell asleep at the event. Who falls. asleep at the NBA finals? And again, if. you're falling asleep at the NBA finals, if you're falling asleep on camera in. front of the world, if you're behaving. the way he behaved with Kristen Welker, knowing that that would be uh broadcast. to the entire world, if this is your. behavior and what we can see, what the. hell do you think is going on behind the. scenes right now? So, of course, Putin.

doesn't take him seriously. Of course, Netanyahu doesn't take him seriously. Of. course, the Iranians don't say, "How do. we even negotiate with? How do you even. do a deal with a psycho whose face turns. bright red when he thinks he won the. 2020 election? How do you literally. communicate with this individual?" And. we've seen reports now, and we we don't. need the reports to confirm it. There. was a New York Times report and a CNN. report that's like every time we're. close to actually doing a deal, Donald.

Trump then changes it. They'll agree. Okay. No enrichment for 10 years. Ah, 20. years. Okay. Well, you know, your team. that you put out there, who are horrible. humans, by the way, the Witoffs and the. Kushners and JD Vance and all these. idiots, they nonetheless had a deal with. Iran. If you don't want them to. negotiate, then find people who can do. this deal. But just come up with a deal. Get the hell out of the straight of. Hermoose. Let's get the ships out. You.

know what? You lost the damn war. Stop. acting like you won, you psychopath. You. lost to Iran because you're a pathetic. loser. And you lost to Iran. You went in. there because you're weak and cowardly. And you wanted to cover up the damn. Epstein files. And you got pulled into. this by Netanyahu because he knows how. to play you like the freaking fool that. you are, the idiot that you are, the. lifelong bankrupting loser that you are. You brought us into this catastrophic.

war in Iran with no exit plan. The. straight of Hermuz is closed. You've. been lying about deals and I'm going to. blow up their civilization and oh, the. Ayatollah is really nice and he's a gay. Ayatollah. I mean, you're saying the. dumbest [ __ ] in the world. Make a. freaking decision, you idiot. And I. think I'm channeling the rage of. Americans right here. make a decision. and stop the [ __ ] and act like a. freaking grown-up or get the hell out of. there. Seriously, I would so much rather.

have and I don't I'm not trying to. praise a JD Vance or a Rubio anything. right now what I would do to have George. W. Bush over this idiot right now. I. can't even believe I have to articulate. a word like that. someone who got us. into some of the biggest disasters. imaginable looks good in comparison to. this [ __ ] show going on by the Trump. regime right now. And it's just like we. have a loser. We have somebody who. should never who who was too scared to. jump off the high diving board like but.

went up there. What do I do? What do I. do? Should I jump? Do I go down? Do I. jump? Do I go either jump or get the. hell down? But make a decision, you. loser. Because if you're not feeling. angry the way I'm feeling right now, if. you're not feeling you, I wake up. feeling humiliated by this guy's. behavior as an American. And I don't. know how any patriotic American doesn't. wake up and feel humiliated by this guy. Epstein's best friend who's covering up.

a freaking child sex trafficking ring. right now who's falling asleep in public. at an arena of 50,000 people during one. of the biggest sports events that he had. to go to and he had to shut down the. whole block while he has us losing to. Iran in a war and losing bad and then he. starts to go they don't have a navy they. don't have an army they don't have a. military then who the hell's shooting. down the Apaches you idiot who the hell. keeps shooting down the MQ9 9 reapers,

you idiot. Who the hell keeps on being. able to with precision and surgically. target Hifa in Israel and their. prochemical facilities to target Kuwaiti. air bases, the fifth naval fleet in. Bahrain. Every time they're attacked, you have to face the reality. You're a. loser. You lost this war to Iran and you. lost it big. Everything you said that. was going to happen didn't happen. So, you know what happens when you're a. loser? You negotiate the terms of.

surrender, not the terms of victory. because you're a loser. And if you. wanted to change the dynamic and go and. invade and commit more war crimes and. lose more, I guess you can double down. and compound the losing, which let me be. very clear, I don't want to see at all. But you lost. And I'll and I'll tell you. the exact day you lost. You threatened. you were going to end the Iranian. civilization. you are going to wipe them. out if they don't make a deal. We all. remember that. Then the deadline hit.

where you said you were going to wipe. them off the face of this earth. Then as. your own arbitrary deadline hit, you. unilaterally declared a ceasefire. Not. Iran. You unil they didn't declare the. ceasefire. You you loser. You declared a. surrender. Let's stop pretending it's. anything other than that. you declared a. surrender because you threatened you. were going to destroy their. civilization. When the president of the. United States threatens mass genocide. like that while being complicit in a. genocide, I might add in Palestine and.

Lebanon. When you threaten that though, and then you go, "Uh, ceasefire, everybody, we've agreed." And then you. idiot, you reposted foreign minister. Arachi's terms. There's no ambiguity. what the ceasefire framework was. You. reposted Arachi. He didn't repost you. So I can literally look at the post. I. know what the framework was. And yes, it. had peace in Lebanon, meaning Israel.

cannot attack Lebanon. The US cannot. attack Lebanon and Beirut. Look what I'm. seeing today. What I'm seeing today is. on the beautiful beaches of Ty in. Lebanon. A wealthy area in Lebanon also. with these crystalclear waters. this. beautiful location where people just. want to live in peace under the opaces. of you're going after Hezbollah. We have. Netanyahu blowing up buildings in the. beautiful town or city of Ty. You. pronounce it sir in Arabic after.

attacking. Da um in Beirut and after continuing to. attack uh Beirut and southern Lebanon. all of the time. As soon as you. announced that ceasefire, Netanyahu is. like we can't have that deal happen. We. So what have they started doing? The IDF. started going further and further and. further into Lebanon. Of course, if. they're going to send their troops into. Lebanon, Hezbollah is then going to. attack them when they're in Lebanon. Everybody knew that was going to happen. Then each Hezbollah attack of Israel.

while the IDF is there is then used by. Netanyahu to say, "See, now Hezbollah is. attacking us. So now we got to blow up. buildings in Tyre and Beirut and all of. these locations." And now Hezbollah has. these FPV drones that we've seen used by. Russia in Ukraine now and Ukraine's. using as well, these fiber optics that. aren't able to be detected. So now. you're seeing the death toll rise of IDF. soldiers. So Netanyahu's whole. proposition of staying in power and not.

being criminally prosecuted is basically. no two-state solution. We basically have. to exterminate Lebanon and Gaza. I mean. that's basically the position of. Netanyahu and Smutric and Ben Gave. I. defy you to tell me that's not what they. literally go read what a Bengavir smutri. statement is. There's no interest in a. two-state solution or a workable. solution. It's utter extermination and. obliteration. That's the language that. they use. The language of genocide. because that's what they're doing over. there. And let's not mince our freaking.

words. Netanyahu sees you as weak. Putin. sees you as weak. Um Iran sees you as. weak. And there you are in Madison. Square Garden. eating fries, shoving fries up your nose. like an idiot. Like an idiot while an. American Apache is getting shot down. And you have the audacity to go sleeping. Joe, sleepy Joe, the the Obama deal. And. here's the thing, folks. Do you all know.

it is so damn easy? It is so damn easy. to criticize a deal or to tear up. something that involves compromise and. negotiation. Doing the hard work is. hard. And so anybody can Monday night. quarterback or whatever the expression. is and go, you know what I don't like. about the JCPOA that Obama had to unfree. certain funds in exchange for this. multilateral mechanism to ensure that. Iran would not get nuclear material that.

Trump then pulled out from during the. Trump term, which Iran said, "Okay, I. guess we're going to have to enrich. uranium." You know, at that point, it's. so easy to criticize. any of the tough decisions that leaders. have to make. I mean, even when we talk. about the screw worms, right? In theory, investing hundreds of millions of. dollars in screworm prevention, if. there's no screworms, you may go, "Well, I guess you're wasting hundreds of. millions of dollars detecting the.

screworm." or if uh Biden has to close. down or slow cattle deliveries from. Mexico or from certain South American. countries where there may be screwworm. Like there's a lot of screworm in. Argentina beef. So when you then import. this freaking screworm from Argentina. beef, what do you think's going to. happen? It's easy to criticize leaders. who have to make tough decisions and. have to level with you and have to. explain to you here's the problems.

Here's how we're going to attack it. When you have an injury and you pull off. the bandage and you see bloody and gory, that ain't pretty to see sometimes. But. if you're going to fix it, that's what. you have to do. That's what Biden did. during Biden's first term. You have to. rip the band-aid of Donald Trump's. failed PPP program after mishandling. that's understatement after. affirmatively basically promoting COVID.

Um I think other presidents would have. handled it much better crashing. everything. Biden had to fix it where. yes there was inflation under Biden for. the first two years and bad inflation. Where do you think that was coming from? Do you think it was coming from Biden or. do you think it was coming from the fact. that Donald Trump put America into more. debt than ever before? That he. completely mishandled COVID that you had. all of these uh uh transport and. shipping that basically came to a halt.

So then once market started reopening, it had a shock and the shock had to. comprehend all of the failures which is. basically like opening up the wound and. then having to stitch it back together. Biden stitched it together, handed this. guy what was called a Goldilocks economy. just right. What Wall Street Journal and. the Financial Times and the Economist. called the envy of the world. Trump had. to do literally nothing. He could have.

played golf, talked about the UFC, and. he could have spiked the football and. pretended to be a genius, and it would. have been disheartening to see him be. celebrated for Biden's accomplishments. But no, this [ __ ] has to go in, tariff the whole damn world. [clears throat] when we all know the. repercussions of it, cover up the. freaking ped ring, cover up the Epstein. files, then compound matters by getting. into a catastrophic war in Iran because.

he got overconfident after uh taking. over Venezuela by just allowing an. extension of the Maduro regime to stay. in power. Then you get into this. catastrophic never-ending situation in. Iran, which frankly, let's be very. clear, this ain't ending in Donald. Trump's term. Could we just be real. about it? You know what's going to. happen? Things are going to get worse. And they're going to get much worse. And. they're going to I I hate to be the I'm. not trying to be a doom and gloom kind.

of person, but it's going to get much. worse. And then I'll tell you what's. going to happen. some Democrats going to. win the president and it's going to be a. wipeout because by the time this regime. reaches its natural conclusion, you're. going to see, as I've always thought, some of the biggest massive. postputin kind of a Europe awakening. style protests in the United States. Okay? And so what'll happen is some.

Democrat, you know, will win. Whether. it's uh whether it's a Nuome or an Assaf. or a. Kamla or uh who's ever who's ever gonna. who's ever going to run, a Buddhaj uh. you you you you name me which candidates. you think are, you know, are going to. win. One of them will pull ahead. They'll inspire people. They'll win. And. boom, they'll come to power and they got. to fix this [ __ ] They got to fix this. mess, this catastrophe that Donald Trump.

created where you're going to have what, six and a half, 7%, 8%. What do you. think inflation's going to be by then? 6. and a half, 7% inflation, 8% inflation, 11% infl You think those numbers are. far-fetched? Watch what the inflation. report's going to be tomorrow and this. week. It'll be 4%. It'll be 4.1%. And I'm again nothing of what I've been. I'm extra angry today because it's like.

here we are again. He he here we it. feels like and it's a little bit. different than COVID because you don't. have you know the you know the the the. COVID related deaths if you will at that. scale every day. But it's it's like. that. I mean, it's like that vibe from. June and July. at the height of COVID when America was. this dystopian [ __ ] hole caused by.

Donald Trump and that he just destroyed. everything and that you want to know why. the voting numbers were so big in. [clears throat] in 2020 because of this. Because people are enraged at what you. do and how with the right-wing trillion. dollar media apparatus, America could. get duped into into repling the remix of. it. It's crazy to me. You you wanted. this again? Like you all realized there. was a better way to go than this from a.

nonpartisan perspective. There was a. much better way to go than, you know, than this. And I say, look, don't. where we would be right now if Kla. Harris was president. We would be so we. would be. and all these right-wing people would be. like, "Oh, be very careful. She's going. to get us into another war." Like they. would be doing all of this. If she did a. fraction of what we saw right now, a.

fraction of a fraction, she would be. impeached and arrested. this stuff that. this guy does every damn day is. absolutely unforgivable. But but I'll. say this, if Nikki Haley was president, it would I'm not be very clear, okay? Horrible, weak, pathetic, the way she. bowed down to Donald Trump and all. But. I'm just being blunt. If she was in. office, she would have she would have a. significantly better temperament than. this than this psycho.

It's like the worst person you possibly. the worst American you could pick for. this position. And I truly mean that. I. think if you went through every American. that's alive, the worst one, how many. people live in in America? 300 370. million, whatever the number. I think. number one of 300 whatever the the. actual number is, is the person who's. who's now running this, you know, who's. running this [ __ ] show right now. Here. what he goes. I I've just been informed.

This is what he posted this morning. I've just been informed by our great. military that last night the Iranians. shot down one of our highly. sophisticated Apache helicopters while. patrolling over the straight of Hermuz. There were two pilots involved. Both are. safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the. United States must of necessity respond. to this attack. Thank you for your. attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. And now you have some papers. saying that Donald Trump is going to re. be responding right now with kind of a.

massive strike against Iran. And then. there are other sources where Trump. tells the Wall Street Journal that it's. not a big deal. In a phone call with the. Wall Street Journal, Trump said the. blockade, it's making Iran very poor. We'll keep it in place. I just want to. let you know that uh it wasn't a big. deal. It's just an Apache. Everybody, the pilots are fine. Yeah, they spent. two hours in the water as darkness fell. according to Captain Tim Hawkins. But. folks, it's all I mean, who speaks like.

this? Who talks like this? I'll show you. what they're saying in Iran. Here's what. foreign minister Arachi says. Foreign. forces in proximity to our territory are. at constant risk on account of their own. human errors, plane accidents, or. potentially being caught in crossfire. To reduce risk, best solution is for. them to leave. We prefer language of. diplomacy but speak other languages too. I mean, so play this out, Donald. You.

attack Iran, you'll attack more of their. facilities. Okay? They respond, they'll. attack Kuwait. They'll attack Bahrain. They'll do a 1.5 to 2x what you do. So. then you attack and now they attack. And. then Israel attacks. And. here you are again. Here you are. Here. here you are again. the markets will. continue to plummet. More importantly. than that, the American people will now. see gas prices continue to go up. And we.

will be hitting that point, as I've been. saying now, every damn day, where the. oil prices will be $160 a barrel, $200 a. barrel. We're just moving towards that. We're moving towards it every day. And. and and I don't want to hear people, don't be an alarmist. Well, your titles are hyperbolic. No, they're not. You know what's. hyperbolic? Donald Trump. Donald Trump.

is hyperbolic. Okay. Donald Trump's. behavior. When I see that bright red. panicked face of his freak out, and then. he goes, "Don't be a panicking. Don't be. a panicking. I'm literally watching you. panic before my eyes. I'm watching a. person, you know, could you imagine if. your pilot. in a plane ride was flying and behave. this way? Do you hit a little bit of.

turbulence? It's going to be okay. Everybody, don't. worry. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna. move to the You know, it's like, what. are we doing here? What are we doing. here? every day, every damn day with this. loser. And then you have the MAGA Republicans. like, uh, why would we pass a war powers. resolution? He's doing very powerful and. very strong negotiate. He's not What do.

you mean he's doing very powerful and. very strong negotiations? What the hell. is this guy even doing? The hell is he. doing? He's He's making He's He behaves. like a buffoon. He behaves like an idiot. every day. Hey, I just don't get why we. can't all just can't all acknowledge. that and the whole world is ablaze and. it just it doesn't actually have to be. this way. Like it legitimately does not. have to be this way. That's the thing. And instead you want to attack former. President Biden.

because he was old. [snorts] because he stuttered a little. bit. that that like like you know for for our. country that frankly put Biden through. that you know I I don't want to be like. we we deserve it because. the suffering that people are facing. right now in this country is such that I. want to make light of it like we deserve. No one deserves the pain that most.

Americans are. No one deserves it. So, but you get what I mean, right? It's. like you had somebody there, if you were. a religious person, this is a guy in. Biden who attended church regularly who. was actually a quietly religious guy. And be clear, I don't care if you're. religious or not religious, right? I. want you to be a good person. But my. point is like you got someone who was. like a a a god-fearing Catholic who. would show up who would visit his son at. the cemetery who would who had showed up. at church quietly didn't use religion as.

a propaganda tool, you know. So you had. that you had somebody who was caring and. compassionate, who was like loving and would show. empathy and emotion and you mock that. You had somebody who. was making strategic moves about. semiconductors and chips that led to the. semiconductor boom which Trump just. threw in the trash. Where do you think. the semiconductor boom came? Maybe the.

chips act maybe the the maybe the the. rise in the chips that we've seen that. Trump just crashed is because of the. chips act. Maybe there was a thing. And. maybe just like inflation in the. negative way, maybe in the positive way, the light switch doesn't just go on. overnight. So it doesn't happen. overnight. Maybe it takes successive. quarters for the gains to show up, which. is what was happening under Biden. But. as the gains were showing up, people. like, "Yeah, but but but he's sleepy.".

What was sleepy about him? He's old. Yeah, but but he he had a bad debate. Okay, if you watch Donald Trump at that. same debate, arguably Trump was just as. bad, but he's graded he's graded on some. different scale, which is if he breathes. A+, you know, Biden did horribly. It's not. like Biden had a good debate, but like. they both did horribly.

So, so, so on that basis, we torch the. country. We torch the country. Really? If you haven't told me, I mean, I'm just. I'm angry at what this guy has done. I'm. angry. that. it's it's not like we're not out of it. We're we're we're not even in the middle. of it. like we all those like the tariff. stuff you'll see in the inflation. reports this week where that goes.

the oil shocks as he just stays frozen. there in the Middle East. too scared to leave because I wouldn't. want to do a deal worse than Obama's. deal. he's also you know threatens ending. civilizations which would be war crime. more war crimes and genocide then. doesn't do so what are you doing man, what are you doing? And that's just what. happens when. you elect.

somebody like this. The elections have real consequences. and we're seeing that play out in the. worst way. And so, it's time to just wake the hell. up. I And I I know you watching this and. listening to this are. woke. You're woke. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If. woke means I'm woken up to your. incompetence and fascism. and horrible behavior.

Yeah. Yeah. That's woke. Very woke. Woke. Woke. Oh, can you believe. transgenic? They're doing trans mice. Yeah. You know, you know the way that. you all allowed the screw arm. Now you. want to blame Biden for it. You know. it's transgenic, not transgender mice. I. know you just want to bully transgender. people with everything, but that's the. type of stuff where we do research for. Alzheimer's and other diseases that you. or people in your family probably have.

mi d-as. Welcome back everybody to Ben on. breaking news. I'm Ben Myelus. Breaking. news and I think breaking heads on this. episode. Yeah. No, I was just I was. reflecting in that first half and I'll. comment down on the second half a little. bit, but I was, you know, when I do. these lives, I don't want to hold back, you know, you know, how I feel. I think.

how you feel, right? So, I I I want to channel that. I want to channel that because you know. we're in this together. and. you know I see. every day you tell me I mean I'm I I get. your messages every day before I sign. on. and I get your messages. and so I pay attention to what you're.

experiencing, what so many people I know. are experiencing. and I just see the hurt out there. And. again, this isn't a Democrat or it's not. like a Democrat, Republican, independent. thing. Like there's a better way. than what we have now. And you know, here's the thing, too. Like. you look at Mayor Mom Donny's leadership. in New York City for all the. fear-mongering about this guy and for.

all the whatever and you see how how. he's leading. And I think to myself, imagine like if we had someone like. that, running the country, you know, who was every day out there. empathizing with people, looking in. people in the eyes, like if we had like. an administration instead of a regime. that could like, I don't know, go give a.

speech on the commemoration of D-Day and. not like insult our allies. Like, how do. you screw up a D-Day commemoration. and attack European countries and and. and compare European countries to a Nazi. invasion of Europe. and saying that European countries are. allowing invasions. like the Nazis.

of immigrants? How do you screw how do you screw that. up? All you have to do is say to our. allies, "We appreciate your support and your. sacrifice." And we know the United. States of America and our greatness is. made possible because of great friends. like you. And as we commemorate this. date, a day when allies came together on the. beaches of Normandy and other beaches.

nearby and made the ultimate sacrifice. for democracy against fascism, it is so important to reflect and. remember that sacrifice and honor it and. do it justice. I mean, how how hard I I. I didn't even know I was going to talk. about that. I mean, that's what you say. because that's what normal people say in. a situation like that. You don't go, "The globalists. are invading your beaches with. globalism.".

Dude, shut up. What are you talking. about? Just be normal. Just behave like. a normal human being. And then these. people have the audacity to be like, "Liberals are weirdos. They're behaving. so strange." just like, "Dude, shut up, man. Just shut up." I mean, do you do. you see do you see what you look like? Do you see how you talk every damn day? Do you see the the the way you obsess. over penises and vaginas like all of the. time? Like the penis police over there,

what are you even expecting pen? What. are you doing? Gives a [ __ ] Just let. people live. But but worry about you, you know? I know I know a lot of these. Republicans are probably obsessed about. this stuff because of. things that they struggle in their own. minds to come to terms with about. themselves maybe. But what do you what. what what do we I mean did you did you. see they call in a witness today Alvida. King this is a real Jim Jordan calls a.

witness to testify on Capitol Hill today. who says this. >> SPLC is using. >> okay about my question is about the one. proposed by Todd Blanch do it's a yes or. no. >> I will not answer on I think killing the. babies and cutting the penises off and. so any. I have limited time. We. >> money in that is the problem. >> Mr. Banger, >> that was a witness that the MAGA. Republicans had.

a hearing today about the Southern. Poverty Law Center. It's where their. focus is on right now, attacking the Southern Poverty Law. Center. And even though the Southern. Poverty Law Center worked closely. with the FBI and local police to get the. extremist groups, now the Trump regime. that's pardoning the extremist groups. are going after the Southern Poverty Law.

Center and saying you help the extremist. groups that the Trump regime is helping. those extremist groups. And so they did. a hearing on that and somehow the MAGA. witness started talking about penises, cutting off babies penises. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. You can't make this stuff up. Do we have. the video of uh James Comr who heads the. House Oversight Committee on Epstein? And so you have James Comr who's asked a.

pretty basic question. Okay. Pam Bondi. was supposed to testify under oath. She didn't. She. refused to even take an oath. She was not on video. And then. she had the audacity with the DOJ lawyer. sitting right next to her to make the.

following stipulations. She's not going to answer anything. before 2025. That's off limits. I'm only. going to testify beginning when I was. the AG, February 2025. Okay. So, let's. ask you questions, Pam Bondi, about your. communications with Donald Trump. Did he. ask you to cover up the files? Other. people in the executive branch? What'. you say to this person? What' you say to. that person? Yeah, I'm not going to. answer that. Why, Pam Bondi? Why are you.

not going to answer them? Executive. privilege. I'm not going to answer that. question. Okay. So, you're not going to. answer anything before February 2025. because you say that's outside the. scope. You're not going to answer. anything February 2025 or later that. involves your communications with other. executive branch officials, which is. basically the whole purpose of this. deposition. Okay. Well, what about.

are you aware, not your communications, are you aware if the DOJ did searches to. try to identify Trump's name on the. files in order to delete or destroy. whether Donald Trump was in the files? That's not a communication. That's not. before 2024. It's you at the DOJ. Did. you all create. some sort of protocol to destroy Trump's. name from the files or to flag Trump's.

name in the files? I don't recall. I. don't recall. You don't recall. You don't recall that? That's not a. material event in your life. You don't. Could could have happened. Could not. have happened. We may have instructed. everybody to destroy incriminating. records that have Donald Trump's name on. it, but you know, I I don't I just don't. I don't recall. Okay. So,

do you know why. a lot of the Epstein survivors names. were leaked when the one thing that was. supposed to happen was that that not be. the case? I mean, that was one of the. key things. And then you leaked their. surv. Do you know why that happened? You're going to have to ask Todd Blanch. He did it. Okay. But you were the AG. He. was the deputy at the time. So you're.

saying he would know that. You have no. clue? Yeah. I don't know. Okay, sounds good. So you don't know. anything. You're not going to testify. anything. And that's the that's what. you're going to do. That's literally what happened in the. deposition. I tell you, I've been a. litigator. for I was a I don't litigate anymore. I was a litigator from. 2010, 2011. to 2023,

slowed down a little bit 2022 as Midas. was growing. Okay. I've never seen that level of. obstruction in a deposition ever. But. what do you do when the people who are. supposed to be the good guys, the DOJ, are complicit? What do you do? What do you do when a. system that's based on.

adversaries? The DOJ good, the other. side is supposed to be. presumed innocent but. adverse. What do you what do you do when when. this side jumps the V, meaning this side. verse, this side jumps the V and says, "We're we're working with this team.". It's like when Donald Trump partners. with Delci Rodriguez, that's not impressive.

The United States, we could always align. ourselves with an authoritarian of a. country and become their partners. The. way I described it, I did an interview, I'm not sure if you saw it, with uh. Chris Vos. Chris Voss, he kind of came off like he was a. Trumper, which surprised me a little. bit. I I I should I should reinter the. guy Jeremy and let's get that guy back. on because I was telling him back in. April how horrible of a negotiator Trump. was and he was trying to tell me no no.

no no you'll see you know it's like when. you do a a negotiation with a bank. robber and you can't can't give all of. he was giving some bank robber. negotiation and I told him I said but. Chris. you were an FBI hostage negotiator. when you were negotiating with the. hostage taker Aker, the bad guy. Did you ever tell the hostage taker, the. bad guy, hey, you want to become partners with me? And. then we can both take the hostages and.

because we control where the money is, we can then split the funds together and. keep the hostages. Or was your goal as the hostage. negotiator to neutralize. as best as you could the hostage taker. and save the hostages? Oh wow. Didn't think about it that way. Yeah. We could always if we wanted to. ally with the bad guys. Think about what. Trump's You remember going back to the.

catastrophic war in Iran for a second. You remember what Trump's first deal was. that he wanted? I put deal in quotes. He. wanted to do a joint venture with the. Ayatollah. So if you're Iran and you hear him say. that, you're like, "Dude, this guy is a. lunatic. He wants to a JV with the. Ayatollah, you know, and Trump thinks. that everything is some like. transactional. New York City real estate.

that could, you know, let's just split. the Hormoo's tolls. You take uh you take. that. I'll take the air rights over. Tiffany's and you can take the you know. do you think that's the straight of her. moves and then he picks Witoff. and Kushner. to. people who aren't even appointed to. negotiate on behalf of the United States. and two really dumb people to handle.

these negoti. idiots like I don't I I can try to sound. smarter. But I but but they're like dumb people. Jared Kushner. had one thing that he was focused on. with daddy's money during Trump's first. term. It was 666 Fifth Avenue and he. bought it for billions of dollars and. ran it into the ground. Then he needed a. bailout from the Qataris through a fund.

that helped him basically bail out. couldn't have run couldn't run a single. building. Witoff had a reputation in New York as. being a sleazy like sleazy sleazy sleazy. New York real estate. As sleazy as you. get, which is why Trump liked the guy. like like that was what he was known. for. The the the scummy and sleazy. sleasag Whit. That's like that was his.

reputation in New York in my opinion. from lots of people who did dealings. with this guy. Those are the guys who. are negotiating. Your plan of how you. were going to bring peace of Russia's. invasion of Ukraine was to have Kushner. and Witoff. and then you noticed the guy um. who is the lieutenant general guy that. they had there who was the original. negotiator who was the envoy first to. Russia and Ukraine and then they pulled.

the guy out because Putin said we don't. like Kellogg. Kellogg, you know, and and to me, the big problem. with a guy like Kellogg, who's actually. a smart guy and a qualified guy, who. should have been the guy in the. negotiations, is that a guy like Kellogg. then debases himself. and then like publicly. accepts.

the situation and has to like praise. Donald. It's like Kellogg, you know, I. forget if this guy was a three-star. general, but this guy was. imminently qualified to be the right. guy. His whole career was like I I think. Biden would have picked someone more. qualified. But you would put Kellogg on. a list of people objectively who could. be in a room to have these discussions. Putin said, "I don't like him there.". Why do you think Putin said that? And then basically he became this kind.

of. feckless, powerless, rudderless thing. who would show up to Ukraine eventually. and get nothing, you know, and get. nothing done. But now you have Kushner. and Witoff who were in Pakistan handling. the negotiation. Didn't even know anything about nuclear. weapons. I mean, like, did you see the. reporting from last week? They had to go. to like a they had to go to like nuclear. weapons school. They had to go to like a.

facility and meet with nuclear. scientists to learn about. nuclear dilution. Like they had to learn about it last. week for the first time. And it's like what what is this? You. know, like uh it's like a. what's the guy's name? like a it's like. a Jackie Chan Tucker Chris Tucker movie. like you know is this like a like an.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Danny DeVito movie. right is is this like what are we doing. here you know and and in what happens. when two zany guys have to negotiate. a peace deal with Iran and don't know a. thing about nuclear weapons. They go to nuclear schools like Billy. Madison. No, it's shampoo that's better. No, it's conditioner that's better. Oh,

you know what I mean? You know, because. that like that's like what our country. is reduced to. It's like it's like Billy. Madison going through grades and has to. like learn, you know, no penguin. No, I. mean that's Kushner and Wickoff. This is real life and I make light of it. just because it's a coping mechanism to. deal with the sheer rage that I feel. about these idiots sometimes just to. just to just the gallows humor of it all. I suppose. But it's like they're going.

to I I have a I have a wild idea. Rather than send Kushner and Witoff to. nuclear school for three days of. learning what nuclear material is like. and what enrichment is and dilution and. all of that. Maybe you just bring in. people who are appointed and confirmed. by the Senate who have an ability to. negotiate this. Now, let me be very. clear.

Marco Rubio, I think, is one of the. worst human beings. imaginable right now. I think he's. horrible. because of his experience in the Senate. before he took this role as this Trump. stoogge who now goes to the UFC matches. like. you know, you know, whatever UF stupid. UFC fights. He was a guy who at least. had the qualifications. Clearly, not the temperament anymore.

because we saw how he handles all of. this, but he was a if there was one. person to probably be at the negotiation. who at least because of his foreign. relations experience. being in the Senate, and I'm not trying, let me be clear, I'm not praising Rubio, so don't don't go there with me. I'm. just simply saying. out of anybody there, he at least had. the most experience to be in the room in.

Pakistan. when these negotiations. were taking place. And he was at a UFC. fight. And then he said that he was. technically there by being in the UFC. fight during during the Senate hearing. You're supposed to be the chief. negotiator. You're supposed to be the. state department head. You're the. secretary of state. It's quite literally. what your job is, right? So, we have JD, this is what JD Vance, this.

is what JD Vance said earlier. Let's. play this clip. >> You say very close. How soon could the. deal happen before the midterm. elections? >> Oh, absolutely. No, I I I think we're. going to know a lot before the midterm. elections. Look, I I I think that the. deal could happen in the next week, but. the deal could also happen months from. now. >> [laughter]. >> It it could happen tomorrow. Might also happen never.

That's the thing. And again, have you. ever heard people talk so much about the. word deal? Deal. Deal. Deal. Deal. I'm going to do. a deal. You like this deal? I made a. deal. I did this deal. Dude, either just. do the deal or shut the f up. Seriously, enough talking about a deal. I'm a good. dealmaker. I I I've met in my life good negotiators.

and actual dealmakers. I can assure you that they've never ran. around. saying, "I'm a dealmaker. I do deals. I'm a deal guy. You want to do a deal? I'll do a deal with you. You want Oh, I. do powerful deal. What's a powerful. deal? What does that even mean? It's a. deal. It's a powerful and strong deal. Who even talks about a deal like that? A. deal, a negotiation. is a good faith bargaining where each.

side tries to find common ground. That. is the very essence of a negotiation. It. is not destruction. It is not. obliteration. It is not surrender. It is good faith. bargaining to try to reach a compromise. That is what a deal quite literally is. Which differs from a surrender. Even a term of surrender as we've seen. historically.

still has. various forms of compromise. Right? We. should study history. How did we get. into World War II? Well, because the. literal terms of surrender in World War. I felt so humiliating, I'm oversimplifying the causes to be. clear, but were so humiliating. to Germany. and to others that.

the anger festered and festered. And. then you got a fascist like Hitler who. promised that he alone would fix the. problem and have to avenge the. humiliation. So post World War II, we recognized. perhaps. in a surrender negotiation. surrender. involving, Germany, Italy, Japan and others.

that we develop. a compromise that actually allows s. dignity in defeat. so that we can support a postworld war. structure that avoids World War II. So that was the thinking. Even in a surrender negotiation,

the postworld war II. negotiating framework was one still. of dignity for Germany, Italy, Japan, and the losing sides of the war. So, fast forward, and again, I'm. oversimplifying, but I think the point. is appropriate. Trump's view. of the negotiations with Iran are not. negotiations.

Trump's perspective is total. annihilation and total surrender, perhaps even worse than a World War I. postgery. defeat treaty for Iran. And. America did not win the war. against Iran. Iran's perspective. is if you want to you read the.

statements like read what Arachi says, read what Galab says here. Pull up Gala. Do we have Galab state? Pull up what. Galabaf is saying. It's why we we need. to be culturally sensitive to what other. people are saying. We prefer the language of diplomacy, but. we speak other languages far more. fluently. Break your commitments and. we'll switch to what we speak best. You. ride the horse, you saddled. Okay.

By the way, he's a PhD. He is a. uh. accomplished person in Iran who's been. rising through the ranks. who is at that position not by happen. stance. you know and and he is kind of a. quantitative qualitative. intellectual and you make oh Ben you're.

praising I'm just telling you what it is. I'm Just explaining to you guy that that. that objectively. he is a very. intelligent and deeply. uh a deep thinker who does a lot of. planning and doesn't act arbitrarily and. capricciously and picks his words. carefully. That isn't me praising. him or the regime. I'm just letting you. know we have to understand this.

Similarly, Foreign Minister Araji in his. post today also was very similar, echoing the same language about speaking. the language of diplomacy, but speaking. the language of war more fluently, if. that's really where you want to go. And. so what Iran is saying and signaling is. is look, we're not afraid of you. If you want to invade and attack us, if. you think. that the path to a better deal.

is a path of. escalating the war, Iran is saying, "Do. it. Go for it. We have our plan. You. attack us. We know you'll cause us pain. You have already and you will cause us. pain. But we're prepared and we've got. our. missiles, our arsenal trained.

on American bases. and. American interests nearby. We're we're. ready for that. Based on the current way. the war went down, this is a negotiation that is a partial. surrender by the United States. That's. the dynamic. You may not like hearing. this from me, but if I'm to be actually. patriotic, although that term has been so warped.

now in our country by MAGA, you have to. identify the reality. America lost. Did. we get like is it like a full surrender? No. No. Did America cause damage? Yes. and also committed a lot of war crimes. where I believe those who did it need to. be held accountable in the future, especially as it relates to Manob. killing the little girls in the. elementary school. But America. must negotiate a partial surrender.

because that's the that's the truth. That's the dynamic. So what does a. partial surrender mean? I've given this. deep thought. A partial surrender means you have to. allow Iran and Oman to assert at least. symbolic control over the strait of. Hormuz. Now if you want to change the. equation by escalating the war then be. prepared for the consequences of that.

and perhaps you and Sentcom. and our military change the equation. And if the equation has changed, maybe. you have enhanced bargaining power. I. don't believe so. I think you'll have. even weaker bargaining power at this. point. And you've depleted so much of. your missile stock piles. And further escalating will result in, I. think, a depression that's of a scale. that's significantly uh greater than.

even the Great Depression. I'm not. trying to fearonger. I just think that. that's where it goes. if you escalate. this war where we are teetering on that. I think we are clearly heading in that. direction right now. But if you want to change the dynamic, you think of the negotiation. where it's not a partial surrender. You. escalate, they escalate. You play that. out for the next two years and then we.

see where we are. The current equation. we have to look at it real politique. The current equation is Iran partially. won. The United States partially lost. It's a partial surrender, not a complete. surrender. A surrender though. So that. needs to be negotiated. So what has to. what has to happen? Iran gets to control. the straight of Hermuz. I think there's. a way to structure it though where they. symbolically control it. And I think.

they and Oman rather than us attacking. Oman because Oman's an an ally or a. neutral party, I think you create a. structure where Oman and Iran. technically control this thing. There is. some sort of environmental. duty or tax that has to get paid. It's. not daily tolls, but it is some sort of. payment which can be done in terms of. unfreezing funds to Iran. That can be. framed as an investment in the straight.

of Hermuz environmental impact. Frame it. that way if you want to save face a. little bit. Okay. I think you frame it. that way. I think you invite other. Middle East countries to have some stake. in this architecture. It's tough because UAE has kind of fully. aligned with US and Israel and so Iran's. very suspicious of them. Saudi Arabia, Turkey have more of a neutralish.

position. So maybe you don't include the. UAE in this for now, which will piss the. UAE off, especially after all their quid. proquo deals with Trump and Kushner. They thought they were paying for things. that they're not getting right now. So. there's that. That's what happens when. you violate imalument clauses and you. put your personal. va worth ahead of the countries which. we're seeing. But I think as part of. this deal and dynamic, maybe you bring. in Turkey, maybe you bring in Saudi Arabia, maybe.

you bring in Bahrain. Tough to do Bahrain also because they're. Abraham Accords, but you you you bring. them into this board. That could be the. new straight of Hormuz board. Okay. And then. um. you unfreeze the funds for Iran. We have. the straight of Hormuz open. Now. concurrently. we go to our allies, former allies who. we've dissed and insulted. But then we.

go to UK and France who have been. working on this. They've got a 40 plus. 50 plus country. uh coalition that's ready to do post-war. mind sweeping and postwar recovery. So what you do is you say, "Okay, look, you can symbolically control the. straight of Hermoose. We're going to. invite in other countries. We could have. rotating leadership to empower.

sovereignty within Arab nations so they. all have a piece of it because there's. other countries that border the Persian. Gulf also, right? So it can't just be. yes, you two control the straight but. let's invite other Arab nations into. this then separately let's have our. coalition go outside. So if the straight. of Hormuz is closed again, now we have a. coalition and we have multilateral. support for this. Even Obama in the JCPOA had to bring in. China and Russia. It's tough given.

Russia and Ukraine's dynamic, the. Russian invasion of Ukraine, but you. have to bring in China to help be a. guarantor of this as well. And to me that's, you know, the the. Islamic Republic remains in power, obviously. Um, I would start doing. symbolic things to show a little bit. more good faith with uh Iranian soccer, football, help some of help some more Iranian. football people get here before the.

first game. Um, I'd make moves there. Just just. symbolic good goodwill stuff. and. open the straight. and try to build like you know okay. you're like well Ben Netanyahu is never. going to allow that I hear you so we got. to deal with that but you have to tell. them no you have to tell him you're. going to go it alone we're we're not. supportive of this you you got that get. out of Lebanon yeah can't you can't do. it and then if they do that and Hisba.

continues to attack. or Hamas and whatever I mean then you. can say hey Look, they're not in. Lebanon. They're there and we can start. establishing this, you know, a structure. again. So, I that's that to me the only way a deal. and I've been I've been. thinking about this as you can probably. tell from but that's the that's what a. deal looks like. That's how it has to. happen. There's no other path other than.

that. Then you escalate it and you try. to negotiate after you escalate it, which I don't want to see. But then Iran. escalates it and they have weapons. They. have a navy. They have soldiers. They. have people to do it. So they're going. to they're going to strike back. But. that's the equation now. And the problem. is and I'll just go back to where we. started. I'll go back to where we. started. Jeremy, show the crowd of Madison Square. Garden booing him. Let's Let's show you. this. Let's play it.

Okay. Now, show Donald Trump on the. tarmac saying that he received applause. and that he was like loved and that he. got lots of applause there. Let's play. that clip. if we've got that one on the tarmac. I.

think we got it. Jeremy, just take a. look. We don't have that one. Take my. word for it. He did. I'm pretty sure. it's in the stack though, Jeremy. Um, but he you see he said, "I wasn't booed. It was great. Um, things are amazing. They love me.". So when you are when you don't. understand the equation. and you create your false realities that. aren't the shared reality and you live.

constantly in this perpetual fraud. This is what we see. This is what we. see. And now America is just a Trump. Ponzi scheme. company. That's what America like. And. that's what made me really upset, you. know, when I, you know, when I was when. I was starting the show today, when I. was just like, you know, I don't I don't want to be. some extra in this weird reality show. I. I I want I want all of your families to.

be doing well, and I want you to be able. to have a job that you feel respected. in, and I want you to be able to get the. health care that you need. And like I I. it really like it like literally causes. me pain to see you to see what you're. going through and and don't worry about. me. It's just to see to to see what. you're experiencing and to hear your. stories and to and I I just I wish I. could do more. I mean I'm so proud of.

Katie Fang, you know, suing the Trump. regime. She's a host on Midas to get the. Epstein files. You know, I try to do. everything I can every day. to to to put it out there just every day. in this moment. But like I literally like I you know I I. I show up for the show and I'm like, "Okay, I got to I I got to go live and. I'm. you know I objectively like I'm I I. can't hide how I feel. I'm objectively. get sad and upset at the pain he's.

causing you. And I want to I wish I. could just do more. I really do. this is. what I can do. You know, I'll create this network and. just chop wood every day. Pop, pop, pop.
