Trump INSTANTLY BLOWS UP Peace Talks IN SWITZERLAND!!
Donald Trump just blew up the peace. talks taking place in Switzerland before. they even began. He's destroyed any. chance of these negotiations succeeding. He started to attack the Iranian. leadership who was there to negotiate by. saying he was going to kill them before. they return to Iran. He then said that. the United States would take over the. Strait of Hormuz and start charging a. toll. This caused the Iranian leadership. that was in Switzerland to lodge a.
formal protest against the United. States. Iran made it very clear they. will not be talking about the nuclear. file at all at these discussions in. Switzerland. Iran will only be. discussing how the United States intends. to restrain Israel to implement a full. ceasefire in Lebanon as required by. Article 1 of the memorandum of. understanding and to release all. sanctions and provide all necessary. waivers to Iran. The head of the IAEA.
wasn't even attending these talks in. Switzerland. Then Donald Trump had. Lindsey Graham and other MAGA stooges go. on the various networks this morning to. also threaten Iran and say that the. United States would take over the Strait. of Hormuz and start charging tolls. Lindsey Graham also told the people of. Lebanon, "Don't you worry, help is on. the way." The same message that Donald. Trump told the Iranian people in. January, which again I interpret.
as yet another threat by this Trump. regime. The status of the Strait of. Hormuz right now is that it is closed. Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is able to move its oil tankers out. from Kharg Island and it has been able. to move out somewhere in the range of 20. to 30 million barrels. Meanwhile, the. Strait of Hormuz remains closed to the. United States and to other countries at. this time. The Iranians also refused to.
pose for the photo op that J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, who. were in Switzerland on behalf of the. United States, wanted. I've never seen. the United States look so weak and. pathetic on the international stage. before. So, what happened was there was. a press conference that was taking place. before the negotiations were set to take. place in earnest. And at the same time, Donald Trump started threatening to kill. and destroy Iran and kill the.
negotiators who were there in. Switzerland. The United States was there. in the room first, which is always a. sign of weakness in the negotiation. waiting for Iran to show up. And then. Iran's like, "We're not going to take. photos with J.D. Vance and Witkoff and. them, so they can do it on their own.". And so, just the level of weakness to. see the US on the international stage. We're also getting a statement from MBZ, Al Abath, that was just released in. response to Donald Trump's threats to.
kill him and to kill the entire Iranian. negotiating team. Al Abath just wrote, "Don't they think to themselves that if. their threats had any result, they. wouldn't have reached today's. desperation? We do not take the. Americans threats into account at all. It would be better for them to watch. their statements carefully. Our armed. forces are ready to respond to them in a. different way. No matter how much they. talk, it is we who act." This is what.
the United States has become on the. world stage under the Trump regime, incredibly weak. And the Strait of. Hormuz remains closed right now as a. result of Israel continuing to strike. inside of Lebanon, killing over a. hundred people in Lebanon. And it was. innocent women, children, and people who. were a lot of the casualties that have. been there by the way. in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says. that he has.
no interest in ever leaving Lebanon. Israel's defense minister Israel Katz. says, "Nope, we're going to keep on. blowing up Lebanon right now." And so. Israel saying, "We don't care about your. memorandum of understanding Donald. Trump. We're going to continue to move. forward and continue our invasion of. Lebanon." And here's what Donald Trump. posted. Let's just go bring out the. receipts. Trump writes, "Iran must. immediately stop their highly paid. proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble.
If they don't, we will hit Iran very. hard again just like we did last week, only harder. Donald J. Trump." This. again as the Strait of Hormuz is closed. right now because of Israel strikes. inside of Lebanon. And Donald Trump. posted that. right as the negotiations were supposed. to take place in Switzerland. I mean, Donald Trump seems intent on causing a. global depression, right? And destroying. these negotiations. Donald Trump then. called up state regime media which calls.
itself Fox. And then Donald Trump told. one of the Fox correspondents the. following. He said, "You close the. Strait of Hormuz, you ain't going to. have a country, Iran. You hear. me?" I mean, Donald Trump is so. unhinged. Here's what he said. Let's. play it. >> President Trump tells Fox News he spoke. with Iranian officials overnight. and said, "You close it and you won't. have a country." He went on to tell. these officials, "You won't even make it. back to your effing country.".
Now, early. >> Then Donald Trump told the Fox host, "We're going to bomb the out of. you. I'm going to blow the out of. them. You understand?" I mean, just. think about Donald Trump. He's in Camp. David right now panicking around the. room. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. We're about to hit tank bottom on oil. And he's out there cursing to a Fox. host. Here, play this clip. >> An important point here is what the. president is leaving on the table as it. relates to the Strait of Hormuz. He. says, "We may take over the strait if we. have to. I'll blow the S out of them.".
>> Then Donald Trump said, "You know this. deal, this MOU, it's not even a deal at. all. You see, it's an option. And after. 60 days, I think I'm just going to go. and return to blow the up out of. them." This is what Donald Trump is. saying this morning. And by the way, the. optics of what's going on in Switzerland. tells a very different story right now. about the weakness of the United States, but let's play this clip. >> And also, President Trump talked about. the broader memorandum of understanding, indicating this is just a ceasefire.
extension. This is not the final deal. with the Iranian regime, and the. president says he holds the cards and. maintains a variety of options if the. Iranians don't make these serious. commitments at the negotiating table. He. said, "I have a 60-day option, and I can. do whatever I want after that option.". So again, President Trump leave. >> Then, pursuant to the memorandum of. understanding, Iran is not required to. completely give up enriched uranium. The. MOU, if you want to look at the. provision, specifically paragraph eight,
talks about down blending, which by the. way, was in the JCPOA, although the. JCPOA had enforcement mechanisms. So. naturally, Iran's President Rouhani. says, "We're not going to give up our. right to enrichment." By the way, that's. in the memorandum of understanding that. they don't have to give up their right. to enrichment. They said, "No nuclear. weapons, but they can enrich. They just. have to downgrade." I don't know, Donald. and Jared Kushner and J.D. Vance, I. don't know, maybe you want to know a. little bit about the way nuclear.
material works. I don't know, before you. go and you do these deals. Then Donald Trump says, "He better watch. his mouth because we're going to take. over the rest of the country." Here, let's play this clip. >> also reacting to that. Take a listen. >> Well, >> We will not give up our right to. enrichment. And they, too, will be forced to accept. it. You all know what the so-called. president of the United States was. saying. He had made a complete 100°. turn. He was saying that Iran must surrender.
unconditionally. Iran has no right to do. this. It has no right to do that. >> President Trump, during our call, responded directly to those comments by. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. President Trump told Fox News he better. watch his mouth. He better shape up or. we'll take over the rest of the country. And so, clearly, the president reacting. directly to these comments from Iran's. President Masoud. >> As I noted before, then Donald Trump had. Lindsey Graham show up, and Lindsey. Graham said, "This deal's going to fall.
apart, and then we're going to take over. the Strait of Hormuz, and we're going to. invade Iran, and then we're going to do. this for Israel. That's what Americans. want, for Israel, everybody." No, we. want for America, right now, not to be. in these catastrophic and unlawful wars. Here, play this clip. >> I spent 4 and 1/2 hours with President. Trump Friday. Here's what I think will. happen next. If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the. Strait of Hormuz over by force. The. United States will control the Strait of.
Hormuz. We'll charge a fee for all those. who go through through to pay for the. operation. And we're going to expand the. Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026. Uh we're going to get Saudi Arabia join. the Abraham Accords. And uh which is the. biggest change in 5,000 years in the. Middle East. And if Iran contest control. of the Strait of Hormuz by the United. States, we'll obliterate them. >> Also, Lindsey Graham keeps on. fantasizing about Saudi Arabia and all. of these countries joining the Abraham.
Accords with Israel. None of these. countries want to engage in the Abraham. Accords with Israel while Israel's. engaged in genocide in Gaza, and while. they're blowing up Lebanon, Lindsey. Graham. And then Lindsey Graham's like, "Everybody join with Israel. Join with. Israel, Arab nations." This catastrophic. war that you and Netanyahu and Trump got. us into pushed people further away from. Israel's. Actually what's happened, Lindsey Graham. And then Lindsey Graham. goes to the people of Lebanon, "Help is. on the way." Here, let me show you what. he said. Let's play this clip.
>> to the to Saudi Arabia. Uh now's the. time to open. negotiations yet again for you to expand. the Abrahamic accords, for you to join. I think this is going to happen in 2026, and it can't happen until Iran's in a. box. If we get a deal, if we get a deal, Iran will be in a box. If we don't get a. deal, Iran will be in a box. To Lebanon, to the people in Lebanon, help is on the. way. Hezbollah's been terrorizing your. country for for a long time. That's.
about to end. >> Senator, I have other questions. >> And then on ABC's This Week, you had. Donald Trump's energy secretary Chris. Wright, you know, spewing regime. propaganda, to which Jonathan Karl of. ABC said, "Yeah, but. Donald Trump said that if this deal. falls apart, and he seems to be making. it fall apart right now, that we are. days away from global economic. depression." That's not my words. That's. what Donald Trump said when he was in.
Versailles, and when he was at the G7 in. France. Listen to what Wright says as he. just kind of stutters and mutters. Here, let's play this clip. >> But let me. the other question is what happens if it. falls apart? You just said if it falls. apart, we'll still see declining prices. But I want to play you something that. President Trump said at the G7. He seems. to have President Herbert Hoover on his. mind. Take take a listen. >> The one president I did not want to be. was the late great Herbert Hoover.
Rather than. possibly going into a depression, rather than having your favorite. president be Herbert Hoover. He was always the one. I didn't want to be. >> I mean, what he's saying there, and he. has said a few different times, is that. if we go back to a state of war with. Iran, we face the risk of global. depression. Is that not true? >> Look, the the president. Now, I I I don't know. Look, the.
president has been advised all along, despite the media proclamations, that. there was enormous risk to energy flows. to engage the Iran's the Iranians on. their nuclear program in a military. fashion. But he simply was unwilling to. leave to his successor. a nuclear-armed Iran. That's just. There's just no greater risk to energy. prices, to the economy of the world, than a nuclear-armed Iran. He knew he. was going to drive up energy prices in.
the short run. He had the courage to. take the action. >> And as I noted before, the Iranians. said, "We are not discussing anything of. the nuclear file today. Today is just. about Israel out of Lebanon, you remove. sanctions from us." And also, how do we. know that the head of the IAEA wasn't. even there? So, we could just factually. observe what's taking place, and we. could factually observe what's going on. in the room. JD Vance and Witkoff and. Kushner looked like the Three Stooges.
there. I mean, they look like the most. incompetent and unqualified people. because they are. They were thirsty for. a photo with MB Galibaf, Foreign. Minister Araghchi, and Iran's. negotiating team. Iran's negotiating. team was like, "We're not taking these. photos with you." And then the Trump. regime wants to push out all this stuff. to American regime media, like we're. somehow like this is tough, and this is. America strong. No, this is America. never being weaker, objectively, based. on I'm just giving you the receipts. right here. It's why we need a healthy.
media diet, and I often get asked, "Ben, where do you get your news from to do. these presentations, to provide these. fact-based news reports?" And I tell. people, you know this, that I use Ground. News. Ground News is an app and a. website that pulls in thousands of. articles from the round around the world. and organizes them to show you how it's. being reported on the left, how it's. being reported on the center, how it's. being reported on the right, how it's. being reported internationally, how. different media outlets are framing.
stories differently, so I can distill it. and give you some of the most objective. reporting out there. You know, I'm. watching the World Cup, for example. I. just find it fascinating that the. right-wing refuses to post about how. Iran's been given a hero's welcome in. Mexico, and how poorly they're being. treated, the Iranian team, here in the. United States by the Trump government. The people are showing love, and the. people are showing respect, but how the. Trump government is constantly attacking. the Iranian soccer team, or if you're.
internationally, football team. Like, no. one on the right wing is reporting about. it. And so, I compare how the right. wing's doing it, how the left wing's. doing it, how the center's doing it, so. I can just give you objective facts. That's why Ground News has a dedicated. blind spot feed. It's a personal. favorite of mine, which highlights how. different types of media are reporting. on things. By the way, I believe in. Ground News so much, I'm going to offer. you 40% off the same Vantage plan that I. use for my research. So, just go click. the link in the description, or go to.
ground.news/MTN, or scan the QR code up here. It's one of. the biggest discounts they've ever. offered. If you want to support this. channel and get a clearer understanding. of the world, try out Ground News. I. want to get back to the reporting here. as well, cuz I want to contrast what I. showed you in the first half of this. video to what J.D. Vance has been saying. right now. So, J.D. Vance, after the. Iranian delegation naturally refused to. shake his hand or take photo ops with.
him and Witkoff and Kushner, as Donald. Trump is threatening to kill them, J.D. Vance says, "The opening of the Strait of Hormuz and. the ending of Iran's nuclear program, these things have already been. accomplished." Really? Because the. Strait of Hormuz is closed right now, and Iran has also made clear its. weapons-grade nuclear program they will. phase out, which they claim we never. wanted that in the first place. But, they are going to enrich. They're just. going to downgrade and blend. You should.
go and read the JCPOA, J.D. Here, play this clip of J.D. >> diplomatic resolution to a host of. issues that matter to the American. people, but I think the world. The. opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the. ending of the Iranian nuclear program, all of these things have already been. accomplished. The question before us now. is how much more can we accomplish. together? Can we turn over a new leaf? Can we change relations in the Middle. East permanently? Or, do we go back to. doing things the old way, which is not.
our preference, but is certainly uh very. much something that can't happen. >> Then, J.D. Vance said, "What we're. really trying to do here is transform. the Middle East. Iran has been a driver. of regional instabilities." You You. think this is a good way to negotiate, J.D.? To show up there begging, then say. that Iran has been the main uh regional. instability there? You think that's a a. good way? Now, you want to promote peace. this way? Okay. Great work, J.D. Off to a wonderful. start. Here, play this clip. >> diplomatic resolution to a host of.
issues that matter to the American. people, but I think the world. The. opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the. ending of the Iranian nuclear program, all of these things have already been. accomplished. The question before us now. is how much more can we accomplish. together? Can we turn over a new leaf? Can we change relations in the Middle. East permanently or do we go back to. doing things the old way, which is not. our preference, but it's certainly very. much something that can't happen. >> And then J.D. Vance has the audacity to. say, "I actually feel great about where. we are with Lebanon right now." You feel.
great about that, J.D., really? Because. around 150 people have died since. Friday. Israel has increased its. offensive in Lebanon. Israel expands the. area inside Lebanon, which it now claims. as Israeli territory. Israel says this. is our security zone, and the memorandum. of understanding you agreed to. says that that can't happen. Says that. there needs to be a ceasefire in. Lebanon. That's point one.
It's one for a reason. You know what's. also in memorandum of understanding. point one? Y'all can't threaten. to engage in war with Iran, which you. violated MOU point one as well there, too. So now J.D. Vance says, "What today. really represents is the beginning of. technical negotiations." You're just. saying a bunch of word salad, J.D. The reason that these technical.
negotiations are taking place right now. is Iran is cashing in on the fact that. it won the war. Rightfully so, right? It. is saying, "Remove our sanctions, give. us the waivers, do all of these things. and we may allow some tankers to leave. the Strait of Hormuz, but we control. it." Because as Trump said, "You're on. the verge of a global economic. depression." Anyway, here's what J.D. said. Let's play this clip right here. >> than it was 10 years ago. And what we're. trying to accomplish here is very.
simple. Through diplomacy, through. working together to transform the Middle. East, where Iran and the Gulf have been. at war with each each or at least have. had very unfriendly relations. Iran has been a driver of regional. instability. Now, we see a future where. everybody can work together to promote. peace and prosperity for everyone. >> Now, I also want to point out that you. may have seen Donald Trump's bizarre. post last night. And again, as we're in.
as we're engaged in serious matters of. war and peace, Donald Trump posted last. night, "Great daughter, my honor, D J. T." And so, we've been looking into who. he's been referring to here, like who's. even in this photo. Who's in this photo. is someone named Margo Catsimatidis, it. seems, and she is a billionaire. She's. married to John Catsimatidis. And when. Trump said "Great daughter, my honor,". this was his post in between attacking.
Iran and saying he was going to kill. them. He said "Great daughter." So, I. was thinking to myself, "Great daughter, what are you referring to?" And then I. said, "Oh, is that Is that who I think. it is? Is that Margo Catsimatidis?". Because her daughter is Andrea. Catsimatidis, who's now been who's now. has this role in the Republican Party in. New York City. She's MAGA. And I said, "That's who it is. It's Andrea. Catsimatidis, who refers to herself as. like the like the bikini leader or. something like She's like the bikini. leader of the Republican New York City.
party or something like that. And this. is who Donald Trump is referring to. So, while while you're all suffering out. there, while American people are on the. verge of bankruptcy and many are already. are in bankruptcy, can't afford. anything, this right now is what is. going on in Switzerland. Donald Trump. threatening to kill everybody. And then. posting great daughter about the bikini. lady. And that's we are as a country. It's absolutely ridiculous. We'll keep. you posted every step of the way. Hit. subscribe. Let's get to 7 million.
