I don't know what to do with the best price.

Wow, it's with Yufarya in the third stage.

A couple of years after the high school.

I don't know if that's what I want to do.

Stream up on the 13th of April, parallel to U.S. I really want a new episode. That's the problem. And you have to sleep with your girlfriend. There's no need for it.

I'm looking forward to the second highlight like House of the Dragon and Wicked. One of the 2 Euro-1890s in Monat. Streaming, but not so, wow. "Very good, very good, very good."

"Very good?" "Very good, very good." "That's a whole lot." "Cool, what do you say?"

"I've been told to test computer, focus management, finance, and so on."

"Mega, but that's not fixed."

"Eil, just a few photos of the long-sleeve, you can do it."

"Very good, very good." "Very good, hold your money." "Very good, very good." "Caffeine is a better way." "With Cuba, everyone can take care of the product at the same time."

Because with the new Cuba-1 capsule machine from Chibu, it's called the "Findstenspitzen Café" by special developers. Full-Mondical Arômen, thanks to innovative press-brew technology and over 17-Sorten Café for every match. Eléba Premium Café is already in the 20th century.

And here's the Cuba capsule machine in Diner Chibu-Fiale and on Chibu-Dee. "A perfect free-links-tack." "Sone, park, picnic." "And so, viele poll."

"Shobbapoteca" says "Gis-all-a-g" and "Halo-frilling." Here, if you're all at the bottom of the world through the allergy time, as new customers spend 10% of 30 euros per day. With the code, "Neu-10." "Do you have a real set?"

"Shobbapoteca" says "Prontaladen" and "Direct-1." "Good-shind" means "Shobb-apoteca.com/good-shind." "In order for your podcast, frisches-opst and knacky-gis-gimmüse" from Aldi, "immergut, immer günstig, immer vielfältig." "Cuts" says "Frische for all."

"And go further and enjoy and enjoy." " Aldi." "Good-est for all." Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown all last night over a former president Obama doing a better deal with Iran than Donald Trump did.

This was Donald Trump's worst nightmare and Donald Trump is now getting the karma he deserves. There are headlines like this right now from the financial times. "Umiliation." Trump battles charge. His Iran deal is worse than Obama's.

We saw Donald Trump meet with World Leader after World Leader, yesterday at the G7.

And again, today, and he's been saying, "Well, my deal was better than Obama's, right?

My deal." And the world leaders were looking at him like, "Really, not really."

And then with grace, with dignity, former president and Obama gave an incredible speech

yesterday for the opening of the Barack Obama presidential library. And he was there speaking at the presidential centers, stakeholder reception. And as Donald Trump was out there in France talking about, "Oh, you know, look how rich the amere is. You're rich.

You're rich. You're rich." Remember, I showed you all those videos. Former president Obama gave one of the most incredible speeches that once again just reminds people of how awful Trump is and what we actually could be with decency grace and compassion

and then this is driving Trump nuts. Watch former president Obama open up the presidential library with grace and dignity. And nothing that Donald Trump can do, nothing that these weird Trump UFC fighters out there who are attacking Michelle Obama for whatever just being heinous that they can do, nothing's going to break the spirit of the Obama's.

Watch former president Obama, let's play it. You have people who aren't trying to get every last nickel and aren't cutting corners when it comes to values and treat people high and low with respect and kindness and handle their business. This assault of the Earth, bedrock people and there are people like that all across the

South Side of Chicago and there are people like that all across this great country of ours and their voices are not heard because we've got a set of institutions that

Have fallen victim to the siren song of everything is about money and everyth...

attention and everything is about fame and everything is about getting over. But meanwhile, there are just a lot of people out here who are just doing the right thing and raising their families and taking care of people and so it's fitting that she's with us here today because part of what we want this center to be is a reminder of those people and to make sure this country is true to their spirit because if we do that then I think

we're going to be okay and I want our kids to be reminded of that and our grandkids

in 50 years from now I want people to remember that's what we should be about.

Thank you. Appreciate you. Enjoy the celebration, bring your family, bring your friends, mark with pride in what you've accomplished. He continues to make posts about a purported assassination attempt against him involving

drones he has terrified alone deteriorating before our eyes when we see him in public. He's seeing headlines like this and it is driving him even more crazy, humiliation. The financial times proclaims, Trump battles charge his Iran deal is worse than Obama's and throughout the day yesterday we heard Donald Trump in every meeting with the amir of Qatar with the president of the UAE with whatever world leader he was with.

He was an Oh, aren't I better than Obama, aren't I better than with Obama, aren't I?

Is it better than him and now we're having all this video footage of Donald Trump's surface

of him saying I would never give Iran any money at all.

I would never do that Obama's deal is so bad. We know right now the Trump deal gives Iran $300 billion in an investment fund. There's what Donald Trump previously said CNN put together a very strong montage. Let's play it. I would have never given him back the money.

I would have said the money is off the table. Let's start negotiating and you know what, I would have won that negotiation. We can't continue to make deals like that horrible Iran deal where we give them $150 billion back. It was so bad, we paid $150 billion to sign a horrible agreement.

How do the average voters think about Donald Trump, how do former Trump voters think about Donald Trump?

Here's what a former Ohio Trump voter had to say, play this clip.

If you could talk to President Trump directly right now, what would you tell him?

She do you want me to really say it on an air, as it f**k you. Now I don't mean to be disrespectful to any leader, but he's disrespectful. Well, the US, and he doesn't care himself. And last night, the news kept on getting worse for Donald Trump. You see Trump endorsed candidates, losing and Democrats now are leading big in certain critical

polls. You take a look for example in Georgia, where Rick Jackson won the Republican nomination for Georgia governor, defeating the Trump endorsed Bert Jones. The voters in Georgia rejecting Donald Trump's pick for governor, Kisha Lance, bottoms as the Democratic candidate for governor.

You've seen her on the minus touch network before. She now leads Jackson 53 percent to 38 percent. As of right now, if the election were held, it could be a wipeout where the Democratic candidate would take Georgia also, Senator Ossoff, significantly ahead of the Republicans there, Donald Trump, under fire from his former vice president, former vice president

Pence took to CNN to attack Donald Trump.

Here's what former vice president Pence had to say.

Let's play this clip right here. So I mean, pretty bluntly, it sounds like you think from what we know so far, this is a mistake

By the Trump administration.

Well, it's much bigger than a mistake. I mean, when the president took that historic step to strike those nuclear facilities last

year, this is the first time in 47 years that an American president had taken the fight directly

to the mall is in Tehran. And America was safer as a result, and the fact that he tried diplomacy for the following year to begin to make progress, and then finally recognized that we just got to take the fight to them, launched Operation Epic Fury, our military responded brilliantly. But in this moment, the posture that we're getting from the Iranians, but my concern

is what appears to be leaking out. These immediate concessions, particularly sanctions, waivers right out of the gate that would essentially be a lifeline to the Iranian regime.

I think as ill-advised, we ought to keep the pressure on, keep the blockade on.

And if need be, let our armed forces get back to work. And Donald Trump also being haunted by the footage of Oman's foreign minister from February 27th, right before Donald Trump and Netanyahu did their unlawful and catastrophic invasion - the Omani Foreign Minister went on CBS face the nation on an emergency basis. And back then, February 27th, he said, "We've reached a deal and the deal that he discussed

on February 27th is far stronger than the deal that Donald Trump has now agreed to. There was no giving hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran. There was no Iran controlling the straight of Hormuz. There was no removing all sanctions from Iran.

There was no having those sanctions removed against Iran first.

But any benefits to the U.S. take time to flow in terms of the opening of the straight

of Hormuz, which Iran can close at any time. Listen to what the Omani Foreign Minister said on February 27th. A few hours later, after this interview, Donald Trump and Netanyahu would invade, forever changing the landscape of the Middle East, forever weakening the United States abroad. Here's what the Omani Foreign Minister had to say play this clip.

When you say the heart of the deal, Iran has said this has to be nuclear only. What have you actually agreed upon? Can you give us any sense of why there should be more time? Because if the ultimate objective is to ensure forever that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, I think we have cracked that problem through these negotiations by agreeing a very

important breakthrough that has never been achieved any time before.

And I think if we can capture that and build on it, I think a deal is within our reach. What has Iran agreed to to you that they have never done before? Can you give us any sense?

The single most important achievement I believe is the agreement that Iran will never ever

have a nuclear material that will create a bomb. This is I think a big achievement. This is something that is not in the old deal that was negotiated during President Obama's time. This is something completely new.

It really makes the enrichment argument less relevant because now we are talking about zero stockpiling and that is very very important because if you cannot stockpile material that is a rich, then there is no way you can actually create a bomb whether you are rich or don't the rich. And I think this is really something that has been missed a lot by the media and I want

to clarify that from the start point of a mediator. So explain that. So the enriched material that things that could be used as nuclear fuel for a bomb, you're saying Iran would not keep on their own soil. They would give it up.

They would not be able to actually accumulate that material that will enable them to create a bomb. So there would be zero accumulation, zero stockpiling and full verification.

That is also equally important achievement, I think, a full and comprehensive...

by the IAA, which is the agency in charge of this file.

Do you end nuclear watchdog? You're saying all enriched material would be shipped someplace else, not Russia, but you know, the current stockpiles that are still exists.

The things that are still in Iran, I think that there is agreement now that this will

be downblended to the lowest level possible to a neutral level, a natural level, which means an uncomvertive into fuel and that should be irreversible. That would be significant. It is very significant. It is very significant and I think we have agreement on that in my view.

Yes. But according to JD Vance right now, if Donald Trump became the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Democrats would be upset about that. JD, what are you talking about? Why would we want the president of the United States to become the Supreme Leader of

Iran? I don't even understand. Okay, okay JD, sure. Sure, JD.

Here's what JD Vance said, let's play this clip.

Doesm from the Republican side of this as well? It is a bipartisan concern.

Well, I think, look, some of the criticism comes from the fact that if Donald Trump were

elected the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Democrats would still say that the United States had lost this. There is a fundamental refusal to acknowledge how much has changed in the Middle East over the last few months. And again, that assumes that nothing else happens.

But if this deal actually comes to fruition, meaning if the Iranians actually comply with it, we have transformed the Middle East in a way that is amazingly beneficial for both the American people, but also the people of the Gulf. Correct. Now, also, it should be noted that Donald Trump's closest Israeli supporters, they're

all turning on Donald Trump now. Trump's support and Israel was plus 23 plus 24. It's now negative 23, negative 24. You have this guy, John Potterotz, who runs in Israeli magazine.

He had an absolute meltdown yesterday on a podcast, and I'll show you what happened

as he said. Trump betrayed us, Trump betrayed us, Trump threw us on, watch what they're saying. They're about Donald Trump here playing this clip. Trump is now saying, BB is indiscriminately murdering Lebanese, but the Iranians are nice. And they only want to help their country.

The people who just tried to shoot down and kill two of our pilots last week. Yeah. Right. Of course, who tried to assassinate him, yeah, tried to assassinate John Bolton, tried to tell you what's going on.

What's going on is he something happened, and he decided that he went the wrong way, and he is ratcheting himself in the other direction. And it's almost as though when he was without restraint in the rhetoric that he was using the militaristic rhetoric he was using, I only want unconditional surrender. I'm going to bomb your civilization, dot it at a, once he turns tail, suddenly Iran's

nice, gutter is brave, another thing that he said today, and you will always be my friend,

and you are so brave and so wonderful in these talks, and Israel is the bad guy. So, which is where he's going, like this, this, this is the opening set this weekend. He went from BB is, you know, what the after you're doing and you're without judgment. And now it's your blowing up apartment buildings in Beirut, and the Iranians are really nice.

And then JD Vance went on Megan Kelly, and she played another clip of John Potteritz, and had JD Vance react to it. You can see for yourself here. Let's play this clip. I'm going to give you a shot from the sound on tape from John Potteritz, who is the chief

overt commentary magazine, which is very pro Israel, very neocony, preview. He's not happy. Here it is. He don't know if it could be worse. America is going to be in a strategically, tactically and militarily worse position than

it was under Biden. He made a choice to test America's resolve, and he has choked. He has chickened out, he has bled himself dry, Trump, the crazy lunatic psychotic who doesn't care about lives and will do anything, it could not bear the idea of putting a boot on the ground anywhere in Iran and could not bear the idea of a single American possibly

Being taken hostage, which I understand.

I'm not saying that at either of those is a good thing.

But if you're going to go to war, you have to put boots on the ground.

Everyone in the military has volunteered to put their lives on the line for their country, and that the country itself may have to sacrifice in the form of wildly higher oil prices. If you think that the American national interest is has to be engaged in this process, and if you go into the process and you lose it, and it's a complete war of choice, you have made things worse.

The situation is worse. Well, there's a lot to respond to in there, but I actually think John, I appreciate that because John is kind of giving away the game. He's saying he really doesn't care that much about higher oil prices for Americans, doesn't care about high gas prices, and he wants boots on the ground and it seems to care about

casualty. Exactly. And wants boots on the ground and casualties in a country of 95 million people were

again the president of the United States never said that his goal was to install

raise a Pavlovi to become the new leader of Iran. And just to be very clear, I'm actually glad that there is a deal or a memorandum of understanding. I don't believe the American people should have to endure any of this.

I think this catastrophic and unlawful war that Donald Trump and Netanyahu rushed into

will forever damage a week in the United States. The American people are absolutely suffering. I think that we need to, obviously, we need to call out the genocide in Palestine. There needs to be a two state solution. There needs to be a stopping of the genocide and the annihilation and Lebanon.

That needs to stop. And so as I watch this, I hope that that can actually be achieved when I read this memorandum of understanding, though, I see how weak it is and how even what Donald Trump is out there telling people right now as he's being told that this was weaker than the Obama deals. We're going to, what the Trump regime is saying is don't actually worry about what the

document says, that doesn't matter. We just gave around the document that they wanted so that they feel good. But really, we have a separate secret agreement that nobody knows about and that's what you need to be paying attention for like that's what the Trump regime is saying and that's outrageous.

What's in the document is in the document.

That's what you agree to and you need to stick to your agreement.

I mean, all of Donald Trump's, a lot of Donald Trump's issues is he's a contract breaker.

He's never a deal maker, he's a contract destroyer and so I fear that this is very

flimsy and that, you know, we're going to be back into the other situation soon. But I, I like anybody, I hope that there's peace, but it is fascinating to see the Trump regime crumble Donald Trump panic and the current state of things. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
