Hello and welcome to the DSR Daily. I'm David Rothkopf. I'm joined by Riley Fessler and Minestine. It's a Tuesday and there's all sorts of stuff going on in the world. I don't know if you guys saw it, but just literally minutes before we recorded this.
The president of the United States is a little press conference in France.
“And somebody said to him something about Iran, because you remember we used to have a war there,”
because he used to care about that. And he said that gathering up the nuclear material there wasn't even worth it. He said it just wasn't worth it to get the nuclear material there. In other words, the whole war was for nothing. He spent hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of people died in Iran.
Thousands of people died in Lebanon. The global economy was thrown into a tailspin. The price of gasoline is up. The price of food is up. Global commerce through the straight of our moves is up.
And it was all for nothing. Worse, we are now in a worse position than we were before, because Iran has a more hardline government. They have more reasons to get a nuclear weapon. They have more capability in that regard in terms of scientists and others who have been working ever since Trump tore up the JCPOA. Iran has more leverage over the straight of our moves.
And in order to get out of this catastrophic deal, which Trump realizes now is going to damage him politically. What he wants to do is turn the page whatever the cost. And there's a real cost.
It looks like the United States is going to free up $24 billion in Iranian assets.
May even release half of it this week, because Iran said they won't talk unless the US does that. Iran said they won't talk unless the US relieved sanction. And, and the vice president confirmed this yesterday, there's a discussion point on the table to give Iran $300 billion to rebuild. So we blew up a country, killed thousands, changed the government for the worse, gave Iran more power, disrupted the entire region, and are now paying for it in what is one of the most humiliating defeats.
Not just for the US, but for any major power in the modern era, it's a surrender. And Trump just throws it off casually like, well, it's just not worth the trouble.
“Now worth the trouble. That's why you tore up the JCPOA. That's why you bombed Iran last year. That's why you launched the war in February.”
Absolutely fucking crazy, everybody. And I heard it. I was like, wow, game changer, game changer. I know you have other stories. I just wanted to lead with that. Well, my first story is another story from France, where President Trump urged Russia to make a peace deal with Ukraine, promising he can, to do everything he can to end the war, following a constructive meeting with President Zelensky.
Wait, wait, the worry was going to end 24 hours after he became president. Is that the same war?
It is the same war, but I guess better late than never.
Well, yeah, except he's on the Russian side. He's been doing everything for the Russians. He had a nice talk with Zelensky today. Zelensky showed him some of the damage the Russians had done. And he said, oh, I wish, you know, could do a deal. But he's not going to put any pressure on Putin. Quite the contrary. But, you know, glad he brought it up.
Glad he's still engaged in his duties as a potential Nobel Prize winning piec...
I mean, yes, he started some wars for no reason, but what is a piecemaker?

The Supreme Court has agreed to determine whether ice can indefinitely detain immigrants with serious criminal records while they await the outcome of their prolonged deportation for seedings. The case marks the Justice's most significant review yet of the Trump administration's aggressive expansion of mandatory detention, which was widened earlier in the president's term via the Lake and Riley Act.
“However, a final ruling on these due process rights remains murky as the justices indicated they must first decide if the case is legally moved since both immigrants central to the lawsuit are no longer in ice custody.”
Well, you can always count on our Supreme Court to do the wrong thing. Maybe they do the wrong thing and process and then do the wrong thing and a judgment. But, you know, I would turn the subject a little bit and say it is now the 16th of June. So that means there's two weeks of Supreme Court left and we're going to get a bunch of decisions from these folks that I predict will make us all sick to our stomach. So this may be one, but I think there are others coming down the pipe and we'll cover them here.
Well, a little bit more about that preliminary U.S. Iran peace deal, and specifically, the vehicle fires your very charitable and plan you through preliminary in there. It's kind of a framework of a concept of an MOU of a maybe of a might be of there's nothing really there. Um, uh, slice of bullshit. Well, that's true, but that's not stopping people from being really pissed at Benjamin Netanyahu. Political opponents argue the prime minister completely misjudged Washington's appetite for a protracted war ultimately leaving Iran's nuclear and proxy infrastructure intact while potentially freeing up billions of dollars in sanctions relief.
And just this morning, Trump issued a new warning to Netanyahu criticizing Israel's military campaign in Lebanon and saying that they have been fighting Hezboa for too long. Yeah, I mean, Ed Lewis had a column on this today at the financial times if you're interested. And our friend Ed says, you know, Trump has realized the problem of being closely associated with Netanyahu. Interesting to me, newsweek also has a story in this, the economist also has a story on this, and it suggests to me that the White House is in an offensive to distance Trump from Netanyahu because Netanyahu really can spoil this deal.
And what's more, I'm going to make the prediction here because you folks, many of which are paying subscribers here to DSR, I predict Netanyahu will screw up this deal. Not just once, but frequently because he's not going to give up his war in Lebanon. And he's not going to give up his attacks on Iran because he's in an election campaign where if he shows any weakness on that front, he will lose, he probably will lose anyway. But this is a rift in a relationship that was once thought to be unterrible, un-un-un-un-un-un-usailable. But the problem is when you have two bad guys who are distrustworthy of no strategic sense sooner or later they're going to piss off each other.
That's what's happened here. Governor Gavin Newsome accused the Justice Department of Launching two politically motivated federal investigations into his administration and his wife's taxes at the personal request of President Trump.
While federal prosecutors in Sacramento assert the ongoing probes were prompt...
Despite the legal risk, the high profile clash has immediately served as both a political boon for the governor who quickly launched a national fundraising campaign to frame the investigation as vindictive White House witch hunt. Which it is. And we might just sort of shrug this off, but this is the weaponization. This is abusing the power of the Justice Department. This is exactly the kind of thing that Trump complained about, except it wasn't happening before.
“It's happening now and Trump is going after his enemies one by one and creating these vindictive prosecutions. Hopefully the courts will realize that's what's happening and they will throw this stuff out.”
But I have to tell you Gavin Newsom and his wife, they're going to end up spending hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to defend themselves. And that's partially what Trump wants to do. He just wants to make their lives miserable. He just wants to show that he's the boss that he's in power.
And that he can do whatever he wants and the problem is that people in the Justice Department people at the IRS are saying yes, sir. How high, sir. We'll do whatever you want, sir.
“They may not realize that they are not immune for prosecution. That Trump cannot sweepingly pardon them, or that Trump may not sweepingly pardon them.”
And that this could be something that they get prosecuted for also under state laws, which, of course, there is no pardon protection for from the president.
So this is a dark moment, a really dark moment in the history of the US justice system. You know, and it includes, you know, many other examples come me as another example that comes to mind. And it looks like it's only going to get worse because Trump is desperate. He's got nothing else.
“Nothing else except violence and the use of force, the abuse of the law that those are the only tools that he knows and that's what we should expect for the next couple of years.”
Well, to wrap things up, a bit of a tragic story, a B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff during a routine, a radar testing mission at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California, killing all eight crew members on board. The deadliest B-52 crash since 1982, the incident involved in mixed flight crew of military personnel and government civilians and contractors. Base operations have been temporarily paused while military officials launched an investigation into the cause with public findings expected to take about six months.
It's a tragedy. It should not be minimized the families of these people are suffering undoubtedly. And, you know, it is another sign of dysfunction in a dysfunctional military that is run by an incompetent man who is reporting to an incompetent man who's trying to flex military muscle all the time.
And sadly, there are human costs here and overseas.
It's what we talk about almost every day here. We've got some special podcasts coming for you throughout the day on what's going on with this Iran deal on how it's being covered in the media and we've got a bunch of other really useful perspectives throughout the week ahead. And we hope you'll join us for all of those. For now, thanks very much. Thanks, Minna. Thanks, Riley. Bye-bye.
