Trump Panics as Ceasefire Instantly Blows Up
4/8/202620 mincomplete
0:04The so -called ceasefire that Donald Trump was bragging about that accepted all of Iran's
0:1110 demands, as expected, is falling apart right away.
0:16It's blowing up in Donald Trump's face and in the world's face, frankly.
0:20What you just saw there at the beginning of the video is chaos unfolding in
0:25Beirut, Lebanon's capital, as Israel carries out a wave of airstrikes across the country, hitting
0:34what it said were more than 100 targets in 10 minutes.
0:38Folks, the scene was apocalyptic in Lebanon, and Lebanon was absolutely included in the ceasefire
0:47that Donald Trump agreed to.
0:49The mediator was Pakistan of the ceasefire agreement.
0:53The prime minister of Pakistan had previously said yesterday, of course, Lebanon is included and
1:00Hezbollah is included. That was one of the 10 negotiating positions of Iran that Donald
1:07Trump accepted. And Donald Trump said, we agree with the 10 -point plan.
1:12Now, Iran has shut down, yet again, the Strait of Hormuz.
1:18I mean, it's always been shut down, or I should say under their control where
1:21their allies could use it.
1:23But anyone allied with the United States and Israel could not use it.
1:26But earlier this morning, two ships were escorted by Iranian naval vessels through the Strait
1:33of Hormuz, and then Israel hit Beirut.
1:36I mean, it's devastating. 100 killed, 500 wounded.
1:41Hospital is filled right now in Beirut.
1:44And Iran said, the Strait of Hormuz shut down once again.
1:49We're not letting any ships through, which they weren't really going to let through unless
1:54they had a naval escort.
1:55And Iran was paid about $1 to $2 per barrel of the oil that were
2:01on the tankers, which could basically be around, you know, a million to two million
2:07bucks per tanker. But that's what is going on right now.
2:11And this ceasefire has blown up.
2:14Now you have, and by the way, it's being confirmed even on state regime media,
2:18which calls itself Fox. Jennifer Griffin says, Iran state media Fars posted to Telegram, while
2:26two tankers transited this morning, they will block the Strait of Hormuz as long as
2:30Israel attacks Lebanon. And this was from the Fars news agency.
2:35So you can see it in their own words, unfiltered right here.
2:38This is Iran's media agency.
2:41Oil tankers halt passage through the Strait of Hormuz after Israel attack on Lebanon.
2:47Simultaneous with the Israeli attack on Lebanon, the passage of oil tankers through the Strait
2:52of Hormuz has been halted.
2:54Then Iranian social media accounts are posting closed until further notice.
2:59Another one says, Hey Trump, if you don't have a leash for the rabid dog,
3:03Israel, should we get one for you?
3:06Pakistan's prime minister. Meanwhile, Shabazz Sharif is saying that it is aware of ceasefire violations
3:13that undermine the spirit of the peace process.
3:16This is from Pakistan's prime minister.
3:20He writes violation of ceasefires have been reported at a few places across the conflict
3:25zone, which undermine the spirit.
3:27of the peace process. I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and
3:34respect the ceasefire for two weeks as agreed upon so that diplomacy can take a
3:39lead role towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
3:45And now, again, if you look at what the prime minister of Pakistan previously said
3:49when the ceasefire was announced, let me just read it to you.
3:52This was what he said yesterday.
3:53So there was no dispute that Lebanon was included because this was the announcement of
3:59the ceasefire. With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic
4:04of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to
4:09an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere, effective immediately.
4:17So this morning, Donald Trump's been frantically posting on his social media platforms.
4:22He's calling this reporter and that reporter.
4:24He called Jonathan Karl at ABC.
4:26He called Liz Landers. Here's what he says to Liz Landers.
4:30A few minutes after the Pentagon briefing wrapped up this morning, I'll tell you about
4:34that in a minute, in a moment.
4:35I spoke with Donald Trump briefly to ask about the latest with Iran.
4:40I asked about Lebanon, which is still being hit.
4:43And if he'd seen that, Donald Trump says, yeah, they were not included in the
4:48deal. I asked why not?
4:50And if they should have been Donald Trump because of Hezbollah, they were not included
4:54in the deal. That'll get taken care of, too.
4:57It's all right. I asked.
4:59And you're OK with the Israelis continuing to hit them.
5:03Donald Trump, it's part of the deal.
5:05Everyone knows that that's a separate skirmish.
5:08OK, you got to talk faster.
5:10I tried to ask if he regretted that truth social post about wiping out a
5:15civilization and noted that there was a huge pushback to that statement from Democrats.
5:19Then he hung up on me.
5:22Then he called Jonathan Karl at ABC.
5:25Jonathan Karl writes, this morning, I asked Donald Trump if he's OK with the Iranians
5:30charging a toll. Remember, it's about two dollars per gallon of oil.
5:34If he's OK with Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the
5:39Strait of Hormuz. And he told me there may be a joint U .S.-Iran venture
5:45to charge tolls. We're thinking about doing it as a joint venture.
5:50It's a way of securing it, also securing it from lots of other people.
5:54It is a beautiful thing.
5:56Iran has not agreed to that and will never agree to that.
5:59Remember early when the war, when Trump and Netanyahu's invasion of Iran began.
6:06And Donald Trump's like, me and the Ayatollah, we're going to do a JV together
6:10and control the Strait of Hormuz.
6:12And Iran was laughing at that concept.
6:14Donald Trump, again, just lying about every aspect of this deal.
6:18Iran was very clear about what its 10 points were for weeks we've been reporting.
6:23Here's what they list as their 10 points.
6:25Then Donald Trump yesterday posted a message saying that he agreed with Iran's 10 point
6:32framework. Of course, Iran was going to take that deal then because Donald Trump agreed
6:38to utter humiliation and surrender for the United States.
6:41Those 10 points were the list of Iran's dream scenario and utter humiliation for the
6:47U .S. And Donald Trump agreed to that.
6:49That's what I've been trying to say.
6:50You know, and there have been a lot of people yesterday, right, in the Trump
6:54regime, in the right wing media, where they were attacking the Midas Touch Network when
6:59we were pointing this out and other journalists who were pointing it out.
7:03I mean, you had Stephen Chung, who was attacking reporters.
7:06and saying, you don't know what the effing 10 points are.
7:08You're just spreading Nigerian propaganda, right?
7:12And you'd all these other right -wing people like, this was a big victory.
7:15What a great negotiating position.
7:17I'm like, have you read the 10 points?
7:19Anybody, can we read? Can we make reading great again?
7:22Could we make facts and details and being meticulous and careful back again?
7:28Could we make being a grownup and an adult and using logic great again?
7:33And that's what I want to bring back.
7:35But by the way, this morning, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, now has
7:40to report what the 10 points are because everybody knows what the 10, they can't
7:45hide it anymore. They tried to frame the issue yesterday as a win.
7:48Remember I reported, this was a surrender by Donald Trump.
7:52Even Mark Levin, right? The guy who was Donald Trump's, he's a Fox host, but
7:57he's like basically in Donald Trump's cabinet at this point.
8:00I'm exaggerating, but he was one of the main people pushing for the war.
8:04He even goes, these 10 points are an absolute disaster because this morning on Fox
8:10and Friends, state regime media, they went through the 10 points and guess what?
8:16It was the same 10 points that I've been saying that Iran's been talking about
8:20for weeks now. As you know, from watching the Midas Touch Network, have I been
8:24saying these 10 points three weeks, four weeks?
8:27I've been saying here are their 10, remember the non -negotiables, here are their 10
8:30points. They won't agree to anything unless you agree to their 10 points.
8:34Watch as state regime media says it.
8:36And here is how, and you saw Mark Levin go, these 10 points are a
8:40disaster. Play this clip from Fox and Friends.
8:43That includes 10 separate points.
8:44Some of them include the US guaranteeing a non -aggression pact with Iran, continuing Iran's
8:50control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear
8:55program, removal of all primary sanctions on Iran, removal of secondary sanctions, an end of
9:00all UN Security Council resolutions against Iran, an end to the IAEA's resolutions on Iran's
9:06nuclear program, compensation payment for Iran and its war damage, withdrawal of US forces from
9:12the region, and a ceasefire on all fronts.
9:15Those are a number of points that are not going to be reached.
9:19And the next two weeks are going to be critical as negotiators try to hammer
9:22this out. You know what's easier than fixing a problem?
9:24Not having the problem in the first place.
9:26Your liver is one of those organs that you don't think about until you have
9:30to. Supporting it daily is one of those small things that can make a huge
9:32difference in how you feel overall, and that's where Dose comes in.
9:36Dose for your liver is a clinically -backed liver health supplement.
9:39This isn't just another capsule or powder.
9:41Dose is a liquid supplement.
9:43It's taken in a daily two -ounce shot, and it tastes like fresh -squeezed orange
9:46juice. Here's why it matters.
9:48Your liver is your body's filter.
9:50It processes everything you consume and handles over 500 -plus daily functions.
9:54Energy production, digestion, fat metabolism, vitamin storage.
9:58When your liver is overworked, you feel it.
10:01Dose helps cleanse the liver of unwanted stressors that may be slowing your liver down,
10:05and it promotes daily liver function so that your liver can do its job.
10:09Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories.
10:12And when you take Dose daily, you're going to reduce sluggishness, get rid of those
10:17midday crashes, support your metabolism, and even aid your daily digestion.
10:21Plus, this is the real deal.
10:24There are two double -blind, placebo -controlled studies showing Dose's positive impact on liver enzyme
10:29levels. Are you ready to give your liver the support it deserves?

10:54You're having people say this, Rupert Myers.
10:57So next month, the U .S.
10:59strikes Greenland and then ends up with Trump giving Alaska to Denmark, right?
11:05They're saying what a bad deal maker Donald Trump is.
11:07He invades Greenland and Alaska is then given to Denmark.
11:11Woohoo, big victory as, you know, I mean, Ed Blake goes, this is the Alina
11:17Habba of ceasefires. We went into court for a parking ticket and now we left
11:23with a DUI. Donald Trump's been posting on social media frantically this morning.
11:29This is what he writes this morning because he's trying to frame this as like
11:32as a victory, as a win.
11:33So early morning he goes, the United States will work closely with Iran, which we
11:38have determined has gone through what will be a very productive regime change.
11:43Just pause there. Why do we have the stupidest person in the world in the
11:46Oval Office? I mean this.
11:48Why do we have the biggest lying piece of trash human being in the Oval
11:54Office? What do you mean a regime change?
11:56It's a more powerful version of the Islamic Republic.
12:01Great work, Donald. Regime change.
12:03One Ayatollah to a younger version.
12:04Great, great, great work, Donald.
12:06There will be no enrichment of uranium and the United States will, working with Iran,
12:11dig up and remove all of the deeply buried nuclear dust.
12:15Okay, pause there. Did you read the 10 -point plan, Donald, that you wrote about
12:20yesterday that you've embraced that framework?
12:22You know what it says in the 10 -point plan?
12:24It says that Iran continues to enrich uranium.
12:28It's one of the points in the plan that you said you agreed to yesterday.
12:33So now you're going to be like, oh, I never agreed to that.
12:35I'm not going to do the deal.
12:36Then the ceasefire ends, which basically it's a ceasefire and name only now anyway, right?
12:43And the Strait of Hormuz is closed and nothing changes.
12:47And we drag this on just like you did with COVID.
12:51Like a miracle, it's all going to go away.
12:53And we pretend that all this stuff isn't happening.
12:56Well, in fact, it's a ceasefire and name only right now.
13:00So Donald Trump goes, it's now and has been under very exacting satellite surveillance space
13:08force. Nothing has been touched from the date of attack.
13:11We are and will be talking tariff and sanctions relief with Iran.
13:15He's doing the tariff thing again.
13:17You're talking about tariffs. This guy's just an idiot.
13:21He's just an idiot. Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to.
13:25Thank you for your attention to this matter.
13:27So now, Donald, you see what he's doing here?
13:29Because remember, the United States had the 15 -point plan, which was surrender by Iran.
13:35Iran had the 10 -point plan, surrender by the United States.
13:38Let me just ask you all of this, because I want to make sure my
13:41reporting is as objective as possible.
13:44What did Donald Trump post yesterday?
13:47What was his post yesterday?
13:49We agree to the framework of Iran's 10 -point plan with most of those 10
13:54points already being agreed to.
13:56That's what Donald Trump posted yesterday.
13:58Because Donald Trump's a lifelong fraud, a con artist, this is the type of stuff
14:03he would do with real estate deals.
14:05This is how he would screw people over.
14:07Oh, the contract says, no, it doesn't.
14:09What are you going to do?
14:10Let's just sue each other.
14:11That's Donald Trump's behavior his whole life.
14:14And now he's doing it in a geopolitical sense that just is breaking and breaking
14:19and has destroyed the power of the United States.
14:23It's done. It's over. Irreparable at this point.
14:26It's clear. And so he's saying that's why he goes 15 points.
14:30It ain't the 15 point, Donald.
14:32You agreed to the 10 points.
14:34And so now I guess this is this is Trump's lifelong strategy.
14:37Well, now I'm going to pretend I did the 15 points and I'm OK, well,
14:40then the straight of her moves will remain closed.
14:42What benefit does that have to anybody?
14:45Right. So, yes, the market will go up a little bit.
14:49People will react. But long term, you are systemically breaking the United States.
14:54And then you know what happens?
14:56Then some Democratic president comes into power.
14:59Right. Whether it's a Biden or, you know, not in the future, but, you know,
15:03Biden the last time, whoever wins in the future.
15:07Right. And then all the Republicans act holier than thou and then blame that guy
15:11or that guy or that woman.
15:12Right. And they're like, oh, my God, you're screwing it up because you have to
15:16fix this freaking mess that was created.
15:19You're the worst. And then they act like I'm a budget hawk.
15:22I'm a deficit hawk. After they do all this stuff.
15:24Don't you see the playbook?
15:26Don't you see what they're doing in real time right now?
15:29And by the way, as I'm reporting this more, Israel attacks a funeral in East
15:33Lebanon and kills at least 10.
15:35Israel is saying publicly, we will continue to strike Hezbollah in Lebanon after all of
15:41these massive strikes. And they just hit they just hit a funeral right now.
15:45What else is taking place this morning, as I told you?
15:48I'll do a whole other video on this.
15:49But the DOJ is saying they will be blocking the deposition of Pam Bondi, who's
15:54no longer the attorney general before the House Oversight Committee.
15:57I'm going to do another video on that.
15:59So more cover up of the child sex trafficking, the Epstein files.
16:04They're blocking Pam Bondi's from having a deposition in the House Oversight Committee.
16:08These are such a group.
16:09This is such a group of scumbags.
16:11Is this the biggest group setting aside politics, right?
16:14These are just terrible human beings.
16:18These are the worst people possible.
16:20I want to point this out, though.
16:22Yaroslav Trofimov, who's a Wall Street Journal's main foreign policy correspondent.
16:27And he's very even keeled, even tempered.
16:31You know, matter of fact, here's what he goes.
16:33This is Wall Street Journal's main foreign policy guy who does not usually show like
16:39strong emotion like this in post.
16:41So far, it seems like Trump's ceasefire is unilateral.
16:44The U .S. stopped bombing Iran.
16:46Iran keeps bombing the Gulf states.
16:48Also, the effing strait hasn't reopened to free navigation.
16:52That's how he's framing it.
16:53What about also? So he's now saying Iran's bombing the Gulf states.
16:58What about what I just showed you there with Israel bombing Lebanon?
17:02And don't get me wrong.
17:04What I showed you there wasn't they just bombed Hezbollah.
17:07They bombed all of Beirut.
17:09They bombed all of Beirut.
17:11That's why I'm showing the footage.
17:12They bombed like southern Beirut.
17:13They blew it. They blew it all up.
17:14And there was a ton of civilians who are dead.
17:16What are we talking about there?
17:18Pete Hegsett this morning says nothing we've done.
17:24Not a single troop has been put in harm's way.
17:26Play this clip. Oil and fund your terror regime.
17:29So he did make that choice.
17:30That was his choice. He was a president of peace and he's been willing to
17:34make those really tough calls that the American people elected him to do.
17:38Nothing we've done, not a single thing we've done.
17:40This is a typical, of course, it's ABC.
17:43Not a single thing we've done has put an American troop in more of a
17:47harm's way. We've only set our troops up to harm Iranian military capabilities, which they've
17:53done to devastating fashion. More from Hegsett saying the Iranian people should take advantage of
17:58this opportunity. Let's play it.
18:00The second one was about The people, listen, I would love to see the Iranian
18:04people take advantage of this opportunity.
18:06They have been oppressed by the previous regime, and they'll have a new opportunity with
18:11this regime that remains to be seen.
18:14That was not our objective in this effort, but they're brave people.
18:18Horrible things have been done to them by the previous regime.
18:21And Hegsitt says, don't worry, we'll still be hanging around.
18:23That's what he said this morning.
18:24Let's play it. For decades.
18:26But what does that entail in terms of our military presence at this juncture?
18:30Yeah, we'll be hanging around.
18:32We're not going anywhere. We're going to make sure Iran complies with this ceasefire and
18:38then ultimately comes to the table and makes a deal.
18:40So we'll we'll stay put, stay ready, stay vigilant.
18:44And then finally, you had J .D.
18:45Vance this morning spreading more Kremlin propaganda while he's over in Hungary, trying to get
18:51Viktor Orban elected as Trump works with Putin in Hungary to manipulate the elections coming
18:57up in a few days in Hungary.
18:58Here's what J .D. Vance is saying that, you know, again, just he's been continuing
19:03to, like, spread these conspiracies and lies about Zelensky and Ukraine over there.
19:07Let's play it. Ukraine influence.
19:09What is the situation in your country?
19:11And how do you see this in Hungary?
19:13So, first of all, I wasn't even aware that Zelensky had said that he was
19:16going to send private soldiers to the prime minister's residence until yesterday.
19:20Viktor actually told me that and I went and looked it up.
19:22Almost couldn't believe it's true, but it's true.
19:24It's completely scandalous. You should never have a foreign head of government or a foreign
19:29head of state threatening the foreign threatening the head of government of an allied nation.
19:35It's preposterous. It's unacceptable. And what I find so interesting about, you know, there's a
19:40lot of conversation about foreign influence in our elections.
