0:00Up next, it's Red Flair and his new band.
0:02Oh my God, I'm back again.

0:15New game party. Find new games.
0:19Dropping hits every week. Find the new slots.
0:22On Bed, Bed Casino tonight.
0:30Donald Trump has been having a psychotic meltdown all morning.
0:33He began at 3 a .m.
0:34with posts like this. What will happen next?
0:38Question mark. What is this?
0:39Some sort of game, some sick game?
0:42What will happen next? That's what you're posting right now while the United States is
0:46at war and people are psychologically tortured here.
0:49Then Donald Trump posts the following.
0:51Mark Kelly, senator from Arizona, needs to be held accountable.
0:56Lock him up, exclamation points.
0:59So also calling for a United States senator to be arrested at like 3 a
1:04.m. in the morning. Then around 6 a .m.
1:06in the morning, Donald Trump calls up the New York Post and he says, I
1:10have really good news regarding U .S.-Iran talks.
1:14And the good news could come as soon as Friday.
1:17It's possible there's going to be talks.
1:20It's possible that we can make a deal.
1:23I mean, you're really doing this again?
1:25The ceasefire deadline was yesterday.
1:28You extended the ceasefire indefinitely when Iran refused to even negotiate with your team in
1:35Islamabad, Pakistan, because you lie about everything.
1:39And CNN and multiple outlets say that the biggest barrier to getting a deal done
1:44is you, not just your naval blockade.
1:46It's your social media posts that keep on lying about Iran's negotiating position, which makes
1:53it impossible to have any rational discussions with you.
1:56It's like an irrational lunatic in the Oval Office.
1:59And then this morning, again, right around 6 a .m., Donald Trump posts the following.
2:04How can Democrats not like how the U .S.
2:07Supreme Court votes? The Democrat justices stick together.
2:10Even that new low IQ person that somehow found her way onto the bench, referring
2:18to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as that low IQ person.
2:26Again, as I've always pointed out, that's Donald Trump's insult against black people.
2:32He calls all black people low IQ people, and he insults them.
2:38You are, I mean, it's just despicable content.
2:41And this is the filth that he's posting.
2:44I'm about to go and teach a law school class at USC in the next
2:48hour after I finish this video.
2:51How do I look my law students in the eyes?
2:55How do I look them in the eyes and say, this is the person leading
2:58the country right now? Someone who's whining and calling a distinguished Supreme Court justice a
3:04low IQ person, even if she wasn't a Supreme Court justice.
3:07Who uses such petty racist insults?
3:10It's the person in the White House.
3:12That should sicken you regardless of what political, if you're a decent human being, that
3:17should just make you sick and angry.
3:19And we could just never normalize that behavior.
3:21He goes on to rail against how he thinks he's going to lose the birthright
3:25citizenship case any moment now.
3:27and how bad it's going to be when birthright citizenship, which is in the Constitution,
3:32remains. He attacks the United States Supreme Court for overturning his unlawful tariffs against the
3:38world. He's like, now I have to refund $159 billion?
3:42That's so unfair. Look, no wonder Donald Trump has the worst approval of any president
3:48in United States history, period.
3:51He has a lower approval than Richard Nixon at the time Nixon resigned.
3:57The latest AP Nork poll has Donald Trump's overall approval at 33%.
4:03His approval on handling the economy has tanked to 30%.
4:09I expect both of those numbers to be in the 20s soon, which is truly
4:15unprecedented territory. And frankly, it's resignation territory.
4:21If we had a robust media infrastructure here in the United States, and if the
4:28media acted the way I think the Midas Touch Network is, and how we've inspired
4:33other independent media to, the pressure should be so overwhelming that Donald Trump and this
4:39entire despicable regime should resign.
4:41Every single day, the front page story and what should be leading local and national
4:46news is how deeply unpopular Trump is.
4:49And all media should be doing what the Midas Touch Network is and calling Donald
4:54Trump to resign, not being hyperbolic.
4:57The guy should absolutely resign.
4:59He's detested. He's hated. He's engaged in impeachable offenses 50 times a day, in my
5:05opinion. Criminal conduct 50 times a day.
5:08I'm giving you my opinion of what happens on a day -to -day protected by
5:12the First Amendment, my opinion speech.
5:14You could form your opinion, but that's why I'll tell you this guy needs to
5:18resign. And it shouldn't be, shouldn't it be overwhelming?
5:21I mean, it's like, we know that people hate this guy, but if you watch
5:24corporate news, you wouldn't get the feeling that it's that bad when it actually is
5:29that bad. And by the way, you all know about the result that happened in
5:32Virginia, where the Virginia yes referendum won, which now will alter, will amend the Constitution,
5:40and will create a congressional map 10 to 1 in favor of Democrats in terms
5:46of the Virginia congressional delegation.
5:48So this is one of the reasons why Donald Trump is having a meltdown this
5:51morning. So while Donald Trump's out there saying talks are going great with Iran, they're
5:55going amazing, what is Iran posting?
5:58What are they doing, right?
6:00This is objective news. Let's figure out what they're saying.
6:04Okay, so we learned first thing this morning while Donald Trump was making that post,
6:08that the Iranian Navy says that there are two violating vessels which are currently in
6:15the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic Republic of Iran, which Iran's Navy has entered
6:22these vessels and they have captured these vessels.
6:26It's been independently confirmed that Iranian Navy have attacked a pair of container ships from
6:31these two ships right here, a Panama flag cargo ship Euphoria owned by a UAE
6:36-based company and Liberian flag cargo ship Epimonomus.
6:40They tried to go through the Strait of Hormuz without the Iran's Navy's permission, and
6:46the Iranian Navy boarded them and interdicted those ships.
6:51But Donald, I thought you said Iran has no Navy.
6:53They were able to interdict those two ships pretty easily.
6:57So what happened, Donald? I thought the Navy's totally obliterated.
7:00And so that's what Iran's doing.
7:02Also, Iran's state media, Tasneem.
7:06made a post this morning about the major undersea internet cables in the Strait of
7:12Hormuz. They write, the concentration of a large number of internet cables in a narrow
7:18passage in the Strait of Hormuz has made the Strait of Hormuz a vulnerable point
7:23for the region's digital economy.
7:27And so you know how all of those internet cables, a lot of them are
7:31like under the seabed, under the water, right?
7:34And so what Iran's saying here is keep it up, snip, snip.
7:38We can cut those cables basically and shut out the internet, not just for the
7:43Middle East, but for major portions of the entire world.
7:46This was a post that Iranian state media made as they're exerting their leverage while
7:51Trump is whining and having his meltdown.
7:53The Strait of Hormuz, a vital highway for internet cables in the Persian Gulf countries.
7:58The Strait of Hormuz is not just a vital route for transporting oil and gas.
8:03This narrow waterway is also one of the most important internet bottlenecks in the region
8:08and the world. According to submarine network data, at least seven major communication cables in
8:14the Persian Gulf countries pass through this route, while more than 97 % of the
8:19world's internet traffic is transported through the same fiber optic cables on the seabed.
8:25Cables such as the Falcon AAE1, the TGN Gulf, and the CMEWE connect a significant
8:33part of the region's digital connectivity to major data centers in the Middle East, Europe,
8:38and Asia. These infrastructures are the backbone of data transmission, e -commerce, cloud services, and
8:44online communications in Gulf countries.
8:46The concentration of a large number of internet cables in a narrow passage has made
8:51the Strait of Hormuz a vulnerable point for the region's digital economy, where cables connect
8:56to coastal landing nodes and large data centers in the region after the Strait.
9:01You understand what Iran's saying?
9:03Keep it up, Donald. Keep up this behavior.
9:06And if you decide to go to war with us again, if you invade us
9:10again, not only will we attack our Arab nation neighbors, we're going to go into
9:15the seabed and we're going to cut those cables and we're going to shut down
9:18the internet for the world.
9:20One of the things that Iran is also boasting about, and this has now been
9:23confirmed independently by the Financial Times, at least 34 tankers with links to Iran have
9:30bypassed the U .S. blockade, the so -called blockade, since it began, according to the
9:35cargo tracking group Vortexa, including several carrying Iranian oil, despite Trump declaring the barricade a
9:45tremendous success. I mean, the guy lies about everything.
9:49Now, I'll share with you what the Iranian social media accounts are posting this morning,
9:54as they are mocking Donald Trump for ceasefire extensions.
9:59Here's what they just posted on the Iranian social media accounts.
10:03Let's play it. We are having very great negotiations with Iran.
10:18If Iran doesn't come to negotiate, we're going to bomb them.
10:23Two thousand years later. So where are the Iranians?
10:29This is from Iran. All right.
10:42Then I will extend the ceasefire at...
10:44Pakistan's request. And so they're not just mocking him in Iran, they're mocking Donald Trump
10:52in China as well. CNN is reporting how Chinese social media is openly mocking Donald
10:58Trump in the Iran war.
11:00They're saying the biggest winner is not U .S.
11:02or Iran, it's China. Trump is not welcome in Beijing without credibility.
11:06What are you coming for?
11:08Chinese influencers are saying the petrodollar is ending, and Iran is now considering selling its
11:14oil only in yuan, the Chinese currency.
11:18And they're just mocking Donald Trump.
11:20They're saying, thanks, Donald. Why would we even want you here in China?
11:23You have no credibility. And in China, the idea of saving face, keeping your word,
11:30speaking deliberately are very important things.
11:34It should be everywhere. Um, but it's also a culture that exalts this, this idea
11:39and, and, and the concept of face saving and all of these things.
11:42So they're like, why would we have this loser here?
11:44Here, play this clip. Will Ripley is out front tonight from Taipei.
11:53China's censors not stopping new AI videos like these mocking President Donald Trump and the
12:00Iran war. On Chinese social media, the message is clear.
12:08So far, he says the biggest winner is neither the U .S.
12:11nor Iran. It's China. President Trump is set to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in
12:17Beijing next month. Online reaction?
12:19Blunt. Trump is not welcome to visit.
12:22And even if he comes, it's meaningless.
12:24No need to come. Without credibility, what are you coming for?
12:27That word keeps coming up.
12:29Credibility. Especially when it comes to ceasefire messaging.
12:32The entire White House's credit score combined wouldn't be enough to even unlock a single
12:37shared bike. Every day, Trump wakes up and reformats himself into a new Trump.
12:42Whatever version he is that day is the one that counts.
12:45This whole thing about, it was, is really about no nuclear.
12:47They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
12:49In China, political speech is tightly controlled, but criticism of Trump seems to be spreading
12:54freely. How does that change the dynamic of this meeting with President Xi?
12:58I don't think it does.
12:59I mean, he's somebody that needs oil.
13:02We don't. China is Iran's biggest oil customer.
13:06Beijing also dominates green energy and claims to be cutting oil demand by more than
13:12a million barrels a day.
13:16While others are still bashing their heads in over oil, we've already gotten ahead in
13:20the next era, he says.
13:22Solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles.
13:26Chinese carmaker BYD now overtaking Tesla in global sales.
13:30At the same time, pressure on the U .S.
13:33dollar, the backbone of global oil trading.
13:36This Iranian embassy post says it's time to add Petro Yuan to the market.
13:41At one point, Iran considered allowing tankers through the Strait of Hormuz only if oil
13:48is sold in Chinese yuan, a senior Iranian official said.
13:51Some Chinese influencers say petrodollar is ending.
13:58Beijing's not fighting this war, but on China's social media, many are already declaring victory.
14:08And right when we started talking about censorship inside China, Aaron, the signal inside China
14:12went to bars and tone.
14:14While the U .S. is focused on the war, China's focused on what comes after
14:18across energy, currency, supply chains, and diplomacy.
14:20China really is trying to position itself right now to...
14:23in, not by confronting the United States directly, but by presenting itself as the more
14:28stable alternative, Aaron. Yeah, amazing.
14:31Just watching all those videos.
14:33All right. Well, Ripley, thank you very much, as I said, in Taipei and Taiwan
14:37tonight. And then, of course, you have the Trump regime in disarray at home.
14:42The Daily Mail reports how a top -level Trump counterterrorism official is now under investigation
14:48amid claims she actively looks for sugar daddies to maintain her exorbitant lifestyle.
14:55Raunchy text revealed that sugar daddy sex scandal explodes inside Trump's counterterrorism headquarters.
15:03So the Department of Labor, they were going on their vacations and strip clubs and
15:09booze -fueled taxpayer -funded trips and all of that.
15:14And allegedly, and the Labor Secretary resigned and her husband was accused of sexual misconduct
15:20inside the Department of Labor building.
15:22I mean, I can go on.
15:24I mean, you have RFK Jr.
15:25chopping off raccoon penises and sleeping with it.
15:28We've got top counterterrorism officials doing sugar daddy things, whatever.
15:33I mean, what the hell's going on?
15:35What the hell's going on?
15:36And what are Republicans on the Hill doing?
15:38Here are some bills that they've been introducing lately.
15:40Carve Donald Trump's face into Mount Rushmore.
15:43Rename the Palm Beach Airport after Trump.
15:45Rename Dulles Airport after Trump.
15:47Require State Department to award a Trump Peace Prize.
15:50Declare Trump's birthday a federal holiday.
15:53Award Trump a congressional gold medal.
15:55Mint a $250 bill in U .S.
15:57currency with Trump's image. Several resolutions urging Trump to be given the Nobel Peace Prize.
16:02Directing the NIH to conduct research on Trump derangement syndrome.
16:08Then finally, I'll share with you this brief clip right here.
16:11This is a congressional testimony this morning.
16:14Howard Lutnick being cross -examined by Democratic Senator Shaheen on how America's attacks on Canada
16:22are causing Canada to launch a successful boycott against the United States.
16:27Let's play it. Canada's economy leans on the incredible $30 trillion economy of America.
16:36There's no doubt about that, Mr.
16:38Secretary. But insulting our closest ally and neighbor who provides a lot of business.
16:45We have a lot of businesses in New Hampshire.
16:47Small businesses who work on both sides of the border.
16:50We have all those Canadian visitors who are not coming because of your comments and
16:55comments by the administration. How does that help our economy?
16:59It is outrageous that Canada will not put U .S.
17:05spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America that they won't even
17:11put... Absolutely. And my husband has an interest in a company that has American spirits.
17:18And they won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like
17:24yours. So I want to go on to another question.
17:28Can I have just one small comment, which is dairy is treated so badly and
17:33your state cares about dairy.
17:34And we are trying desperately to get them to live to the deal that they
17:39have on USMCA. And there you have it, everybody.
