Trump faces WORLD CUP DISASTER as HE SHUTS DOWN TRAVEL!!!!
Chaos has already erupted at the World. Cup before it even started in the United. States, that is, as the Trump regime is. taking punitive measures against key. soccer officials or football officials. from certain countries. The United. States is now banning Iranian managers. and top soccer officials from showing up. to attend the World Cup, to accompany. the team. Other punitive measures are. being taken against the Iran soccer or.
team. They're not being allowed to stay. in the United States after their game is. played. They have to immediately go back. to Mexico under a bunch of other. threats. Also, the United States has. been harassing key soccer or football. players from Iraq and their managers and. officials who have arrived at airports. in Chicago and other places in the. United States. Separately, the Trump. regime is sending diplomatic cables.
threatening to take unilateral actions. against European countries that the. Trump regime is calling out for the way. they're dealing with the Ebola outbreak, which has largely been caused by the. Trump regime's destruction of USAID, CDC, and other critical Ebola detection. programs. Let's just break down what's going on. step by step, and I'll also mention that. there are a number of nations where fans.
are totally banned from even showing up. to the World Cup. I mean, if you take a. look at some of the full bans, if you're. from Haiti, if you're from Iran, if. you're from Senegal, uh Senegal, if. you're from Ivory Coast or Côte. d'Ivoire, you as a fan, you can't show. up. You're not allowed to attend the. World Cup. If you're from Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, there. are severe restrictions placed on you as.
a fan. This is fairly unprecedented. stuff right here. Let's break down. what's happening step-by-step, and then. in this video, I also want to talk about. the karma that Donald Trump is getting. cuz as he is engaged in this behavior, the weather forecast for that UFC fight. on June 14th showing that there may be. massive thunderstorms in Washington, D.C. There's like a 60 to 65% chance of. rain and thunderstorms that night. And I.
think this is just the perfect karma. based on the way Donald Trump is. behaving here. So, let's just do it the Midas Touch way, very detailed, very meticulous. Hit. subscribe, help us get to 7 million. subscribers, double-check that you're. subscribed. So, while the Trump regime. through Tom Barrack and ambassador to. Turkey and. and [snorts] someone who Donald Trump. selects as an envoy to Syria and other. places, he posted, you know, look, the. United States is allowing the Iran. soccer or football team entry into the.
United States. We've given them visas. Look how we can rise above everything. when it comes to sports. Well, you should have given them visas not at. the very last minute, number one. But, number two, you're banning like their. key officials who work on the team like. their managers and other people who help. coach the team. Here's what we're now. learning. Iran says that US has denied. visas to key World Cup officials. The. Iran soccer federation has accused the.
United States of quote vindictive. behavior after saying that the visas. were refused for key managerial and. administrative member of its World Cup. team. The Iran Football Federation. Secretary General Hadayet Mobeni, its. Vice President Medhi Mohammad Nabi, were. among 14 staff, people who were critical. to the team. Just think about all of the. team all of the staff that travels with. the soccer football team. and they were just notified they will. not be allowed into the United States.
They're banned and the three Iran games. are all in the United States and so it's. really unprecedented punitive stuff and. it's unclear whether Iran's football. Federation president Mehdi Taj will be. banned as well, but it seems likely that. he will be although we're following this. up. Iran will be staying in Mexico while. while the World Cup is happening and. they travel to the United States to play. their games in the US and then the US.
said as soon as your game ends you. basically need to leave immediately. Iran's World Cup team must enter and. leave on match days. What. Tehran is explaining Iran's World Cup. squad has been notified. They must enter. and leave US soil on the same day of. their matches played in the United. States. The country's ambassador to. Mexico says due to the US Israel war in. Tehran Iran's team is now based in. Mexico instead of their intended site in. Tucson, Arizona. Quote, we can enter in.
the morning and we must leave the same. day. Iran's Envoy Abolfazl Pasandideh. told reporters explaining the visa. restrictions. The Iranian squad has. three group matches in the United States. in Los Angeles and Seattle and the. Tasnim news agency Iran's news agency. said that they've learned that the team. manager and all these other critical. positions. the member of the national teams media. their foreign affairs.
security team. All these people were. basically banned from showing up to. watch the World Cup. So that's Iran. We. go to Iraq. Iraq World Cup striker Hussein. questioned for hours at a Chicago. airport. Ayman Hussein was held in. question for nearly 7 hours at Chicago. O'Hare Airport after arriving with the. squad early on Saturday, an Iraqi. sporting official said. Hussein was. finally allowed in, but the team's. photographer was barred from entering.
the United States, said the official who. works for the Iraqi Olympic Committee, but has close contacts with the team. US. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and. the Homeland Security Department did not. immediately respond to messages seeking. comment on the reporting, questioning, and banning of the Iraqi officials. and the harassment of the Iraqi striker. Fans came out in the early hours of the. morning to greet the Iraq squad at the. airport holding flags and asking players.
to pose for pictures, and they didn't. see Aymen there, and he didn't show up. Hussein's phone was inspected after he. arrived, and the national team. photographer Talal Sulaiman was held for. more than 10 hours, underwent similar. phone checks, and was ultimately denied. entry into the United States. Iraq is. returning to the World Cup for the first. time since making their debut 40 years. ago. So, as these teams are arriving, the Trump regime are seizing their.
phones, going through all of their. phones, and then deciding if they can be. here in the United States or not. And. it's not just Iran and Iraq, it's Europe. as well under attack from the United. States as it relates to the World Cup. US is warning Europe step up Ebola. screening ahead of the World Cup. A. State Department cable this week. instructed US diplomats to warn European. countries of possible consequences if. they failed to adopt the Trump. administration's Ebola precautions. Like.
the gall that the Trump regime got rid. of all Ebola detection and all Ebola. precautions. Remember, Elon Musk. bragged, "Ha ha ha, we don't think we. need the Ebola precautions." Remember he. did that? The Trump regime guts the CDC, then there's an Ebola outbreak in Congo. and Uganda, and then the Trump regime. attacks Europe for it, and then. threatens to take, quote, "unilateral. actions against Europe." Uh it goes on. to say, "US diplomats were told to ask.
European countries implement travel. restrictions, and quote the failure to. adopt similar travel measures may. require the United States to adopt. unilateral measures against you." Hey. everybody, Ben Meiselas here from the. Midas Touch Network. I wanted to let you. know about my podcast partner, Michael. Popok's new law firm. It's called The. Popok Firm. Michael Popok's pursuing his. dream of starting his own law firm, really based on the popular demand by.
all the Midas Mighty and Legal AF'ers. who are approaching Michael Popok with. their cases and saying, "Can you help. us?" And at that time, Popok was not. able to. So, he went out on his own, he. started The Popok Firm, where he is now. handling catastrophic injury cases like. car accident cases, trucking cases, malpractice cases, big negligence cases, wrongful death cases. So, if you or. someone you know have a case like this,
the consultation with Popok's firm is. free. Give him a call, see if you have a. case. It's the popokfirm.com, the popokfirm.com, or you can call 877-popokaf, p o p o k a f. So, 1-877-popokaf. Give Michael Popok a call, and I'm. really proud of you, Popok. Thanks for. all the hard work you're putting in. And. it's not just Ebola and Hanta virus that.
are worrying health officials in the. United States. There's a measles. outbreak right now in the United States. as a result of RFK Jr.'s. uh anti-vax conspiracy-laden. behavior. And of course, COVID-19 and the flu. still exist. And with all of these. people showing up at COVID outbreaks, something to be concerned about. You have Andrew Giuliani, Rudy. Giuliani's son, is the nepo kid who's.
running the FIFA. program for the United States inside the. United States. And the White House FIFA. task force says that Andrew Giuliani is. briefing the European Union ambassador. delegation to Washington, D.C. as they. threaten Europe as I just noted. As I. stated at the outset of this video, Tom. Barrack, the United States ambassador to. Turkey, posted, "Proud of our. outstanding team at the U.S. Embassy in. Ankara for their work processing visas.
for Iran's national football team on. their road to FIFA World Cup. Sports. transcends borders, and we look forward. to welcoming competitors and fans from. around the world the Iranian Embassy in. Turkey responded by saying, "You cannot. whitewash conduct that violates FIFA. regulations and breaches the United. States host obligations merely by. praising yourself. Why do you not say. that visas were denied to a large. portion of the managerial and executive.
staff, technical advisers, and others. who are integral parts of any national. football team? You have now escalated. the deliberate and discriminatory. treatment against Iran's national. football team to its highest levels. By. extending your whimsical hostilities. against the Iranian nation into the. realm of sports, the U.S. government in. practice is depriving Iran's national. team of its right to play in the World. Cup under normal conditions and without.
undue pressure and stress. This. represents the worst possible form of. politically biased interference in. sport. FIFA must hold the US accountable. for violations of its rules and for the. discriminatory treatment of Iran's. national football team. So, the Iranian. team traveled to Turkey, from Turkey to. Mexico. They'll stay in Mexico. They'll. show up for their games in Los Angeles. and Seattle, then they must leave. immediately. But, their coaches and. managers and key people are not allowed. into the United States as the Trump.
regime is interfering. in that I think very, very serious way. I want to show this with you though. because Iran's 2026 World Cup team just. dropped this video right here that says. the boys are ready to play despite all. of the obstacles. And this is the video. that they released and it's of the. Iranian football team or soccer team. And I'll show it to you. It's It's a. very powerful video right here. I think. it slaps. It hits pretty hard. Here,
let's play this clip right here. >> [music]. [music]. [music]. [music].
[music]. [music]. [music]. [music]. [music].
[music]. >> Now, as I mentioned at the outset, I. also want to show you the karma that. Donald Trump is getting for all of this. Uh the weather forecast at the UFC fight. on June 14th. Let's pull it up right. here. Um. 64% uh chance of rain. Likely going to.
be thunderstorms, a couple of. thunderstorms, and it's all happening. outside. Um and so that's uh something to focus. on. Will the entire thing be shut down. because of weather? That's exactly what. uh Joe Rogan. had warned. You can't do this event. outside. It's. It's in It's a swamp in DC in June. It's. very hot. It's unsafe, and it could. rain. So, imagine if there's now.
lightning and thunder that takes place. on that day. Uh meanwhile, you have. Donald Trump making videos saying that. he wants to keep the UFC stadium forever. at the White House. He just wants it to. always look like like this junkyard. That's what he wants it to look like. Here's the video that Donald Trump made. on that front. You can see it for. yourself right here. Let's play it. >> You all know that in Paris, France, the. Eiffel Tower, 1889, it was built. It was. supposed to be taken down immediately.
after the World's Fair. And then they. said, "You know, we sort of like it. Let's leave it up a little bit longer.". And then they said, "Let's leave it up. longer and longer and longer.". Well, they never took it down. And you. know, we're building something in front. of the White House that's quite. attractive to a lot of people. It's. going to have the big UFC fight on June. 14th. And I'm looking at it, and maybe we'll. never ever take it down. >> Now, I also want to highlight, too, what's going on. I mean, Donald Trump. said that, you know, the UFC and their.
parent company TKO is going to have to. pay for this event, which is $65 million. or $70 million or or or more. I think. the taxpayers are going to be paying for. a lot of things that are happening in. terms of safety and security and. otherwise, but Trump is having. right-wing oligarchs buy seats for a. million dollars and a million and a half. dollars. So, all you need is 60. oligarchs, which they'll be doing about. a million bucks, a million and a half, that reimburses Dana White and the UFC.
by having these oligarchs do that. And. then Donald Trump is investing in the. parent company TKO, which is the parent. company of WWE, and the parent company of UFC. They've. also received mega investments from. Saudi Arabia, which also has those links. with Kushner, and Kushner's private. equity firm Affinity. And one of the. leagues that's under TKO is a boxing. league, and it's a new boxing league.
called Zuffa Boxing. And there's a law. right now called the Muhammad Ali Boxing. Reform Act of 2000 that basically. prevents exploitation of boxers by. certain type of promoters. So, the way. UFC's run in like a centralized. organization, kind of top-down, so that. the UFC fighters are not able to kind of. independently, collectively bargain or. bargain for themselves and what their. fees are and rates are, it's controlled.
by UFC. The Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform. Act prevents that from happening in. boxing. Well, Dana White, TKO, and the. Saudis want that changed so that Zuffa. Boxing can have a UFC style model and. kind of change boxing. And so, one can. also view the $65 million and giving you. my opinion, even though it's being reimbursed by. right-wing oligarchs, this event as part. of a lobbying effort for Zuffa Boxing to.
to repeal the Muhammad Ali. reform act and replace it with the. Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival. Act, which has passed in the house, which is a MAGA legislation, to remove some of the protections for. individual boxers, which is what TKO. Boxing wants.
