Aldi. "Good-est für alle." Donald Trump just had a disastrous meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron Donald Trump. Travel to France after falling asleep at the UFC event. On Sunday when Donald Trump met with Macron.

Donald Trump looked lehargic. He looked sickly. He looked as if he didn't even know where he was. Watch as Donald Trump was shaking Macron's hand. And again, Trump looks completely lost.

Let's play this clip. Then when Donald Trump started to speak, he started talking about the UFC event. Tim Macron played this clip. Matthew. So I wanted to congratulate the President last night.

Zero gun. One fight against a great fighter. It was supposed to be unbeatable. And that was a serialist from France. Did you watch the fight?

Yeah. I'm sorry. But I saw it to the point. I was a great fighter. I was a great evening at the way to the West.

I was a great pro. Thank you. Now state regime media which calls itself Fox. Try to make sense of how sickly and lehargic Donald Trump has been looking. Especially how he's been looking since he's arrived in France.

And they said, well, it's impressive that he can even walk right now. So is that really where we are?

Where state regime media is praising the ability of Donald Trump to simply be able to walk and be alive?

Really? Here play this clip. There's talking about something at my main observation so far is that this is the first time I've seen a world leader photo where it's the other leader. Not Donald Trump gave a thumbs up in the present just kept his hand to the sides.

The fact that he could even walk, Peter, given all he's been screwing the last 24 hours. I think really is quite remarkable. He's got to be beyond exhausted. Now going back to this meeting between Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Donald Trump then says that the deal that was just entered into with Iran is so much better than Obama's deal.

Because Obama's deal Donald Trump said billions of dollars were given to Iran.

And you can never do a deal like that.

Hey Donald, you may want to look at the deal that you just did. Where over $300 billion is potentially going to be given to Iran and tens of billions of dollars seem to have already been given to Iran. By your regime Donald and through funneling it through other Middle East countries, here listen to what Trump says. Let's play it. So we had two big moments when they're terminating the JCPOA that was the Obama deal.

The broadcast in Obama deal. And when they're terminating that, it was very important because it was a road to a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. All right.

It was a deal where 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing 777.

Well, not in 777, I guess.

But it was put on a big, beautiful Boeing 757. They needed a Boeing 747 to be honest with you because it was a lot of cash.

1.7 billion was taken out of the banks and given to Iran.

And on top of that, tens of billions of dollars was spent. So they tried to bribe them to make a deal that didn't work. It never works. And we looked at a great job. And hopefully it's going to be a good relationship.

And we're going to get along. And if we don't, we go back to where we started. But I don't think that's going to be necessary. Then you can see Donald Trump's just drowsy body language again. He's sitting very weird as well as French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to address

kind of very serious issues. Donald Trump's just completely out of it. Watch for yourself. Let's play it. First, it will face the nuclear issue.

And it's a very important metaphor for peace. Because it will work. And it will reopen almost. It will provide peace in Lebanon. And so we are ready to take our fair share of the burden.

And be part of the commitment of the international community in order to support Israel. And we will discuss about that together. And this colleagues, they don't. But it's a very important step. What's peace?

But as well for global economy. We will ask the occasion to discuss about the war in Ukraine. In order to arrange together. And negotiate the good and solid peace. And sustainable peace and prison.

And he's going to be with us. The more. Then a reporter asks Donald Trump.

So when will the text of this memorandum of understanding with Iran be at?

So Trump didn't even do a deal with Iran. It's a memorandum of understanding to begin technical negotiations. To maybe do a deal sometime in the future. And then Donald Trump says, you know, look, it's a very strong document. My document is just so strong.

What does that even mean? It's a strong document. Watch what he says right here. Hey, be involved in it. But JD was coming into that specifically.

Mr. President, quite well with text of the MOU, he released. I think pretty soon.

I would say, I mean, I wanted to be released because it's a very powerful document.

It's not like the Obama document, which was just a terrible document. It's a very powerful document. And I wanted to be released. So probably pretty soon. I would say after sometime after Friday.

Because the straight opens completely. It's open now. But it opens completely. We have all the minds. Not counter for the most.

But we have a lot of aims right now already. Mr. President, so I think sometime.

I think sometime in the very near future.

Then the way Donald Trump describes Israel invading Lebanon and blowing up buildings in Beirut and entire and in other areas. He says, we got to get that whole Lebanon thing. That Lebanon thing, we need to get it straight. And maybe I need to have a little talk with his bullet, too.

He truly has no clue what he's even saying at this point. And it's a deeply disturbing to watch this. And I think this needs to be called out loudly. That we literally have someone there who's a lunatic. And who's there physically, but not there mentally at all.

Let's play this clip. In fact, I don't think we're going to need much help because we have an agreement where it's going to be open. And it's so free. We're going to live argument with that. It's so free.

So I don't think we're going to need much help. But I don't think it's a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries. A few countries, you'd be a great country to do it.

It's never know what happens, but I think it's going to be open.

I think it's going to be free sailing. We do want to see if we can strain out the Lebanon thing.

Because it just seems to just never end.

And it's a mini version of what we were doing. But and it should not be tough. It should not be tough. So as well as we have to, we have to have a little talk with him. What are you guys doing?

What are you doing? Let's do it. It should not be hard. It should not be hard. Might as such podcasts is brought to you by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Let's talk about what's really at stake right now. America started with a rebellion against King's, against divine authority, and against the idea that government should belong to one religion or one group of people.

That's why the founders created a secular constitution.

No religious tests, no state religion, power comes from the people. But right now, we're seeing a coordinated effort to blur that line, bringing religion into schools, into laws, and into public institutions. That's not moving forward. That's moving backward.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation is fighting back, protecting the first amendment

because it protects everybody's freedom of conscience. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we're at a defining moment.

Do we keep expanding freedom or do we start restricting it?

Because we don't go backward, text-mitis to 511-511 today, text fees may apply. Then Donald Trump again only wants to talk about his UFC fight, where he was sleeping through most of it.

I mean, we saw the footage of him sleeping. I've been playing it all morning and played it yesterday. And Donald Trump's like, "What do you think about the French fighter? What do you think about the French fighter?" This is better than the World Cup to some.

You think it's better than the World Cup? What are you talking about? Let's play this clip. Happened, but had two very good conversations just that it would be talking about it.

Then we had a really exciting, I think maybe one of the most incredible evenings in the history of the White House.

We had that evening. Last night with the fighters and I was very happy. I called last night to very late last night to congratulate you because in the heavyweight division a French fighter won.

I don't know, is it maybe more important than the World Cup to some people?

It might be a good team for the World Cup, very good team, but you have good fighters too. And you're a great country, and it's an honor to be with you. Thank you very much. Hey. And then Donald Trump says, "And everybody knows the straight of her moves is already partially opened,

and on Friday it will be completely opened." You know, we can track the ships that are coming in and out. You know, the straight is relatively narrow, and these ships are pretty big. So we have a sense of ships going out, ships coming in, and they're in a lot of them. Let's just play this clip.

They're very happy to say very, very, very scientific deals outside. And these strangers already partially open as you know they're doing a little hunting for a couple of minds that they've already found. But it's essentially ships are starting to go out. Now on Friday it will be completely open. We got a little very well with Iran, it's a different set of leaders.

As you know, the first set is gone, the second set is gone. And we found the third set to be very smart, strong or smart, but we ended up making a deal. I felt badly that we had to go back on the attack for too much. And I feel like the third, but we made it before that happened. Now again, on state regime media, they were trying to normalize all of this.

That which cannot be normalized at all. And you have mega Republican Congress member, massed, right? And this guy's like the neocon. We're going to invade. We're going to make Iran submit.

That's what this guy's been saying, right?

I mean, this guy wears IDF. I'm not making this up. He wears the IDF uniform in Congress. Like that's who this guy is. And so he goes, look, look, this is a great deal.

Yeah, we're going to give him $20 billion.

We can give him $300 billion. But in the end, we can give him hundreds of billions. But we're $500 billion ahead. So we've actually won and they've paid us. Even though we're going to give them hundreds of billions of dollars.

That's where they are right now in mega world. Just you can listen to it for yourself of what they're saying after criticizing Obama for unfreezing $1.7 billion of Iran funds from decades and decades and decades earlier that was done through very controlled mechanisms to actually do a comprehensive, non-nuclear deal called the JCPOA versus Trump saying that there's some framework

and then just giving Iran all this money. Watch yourself. What kind of confidence do you have that they'll do it? Yeah, there's very little confidence based upon their history. But what you see is as a change right now is their leaders and American leaders

as you pointed out coming to the table to sit together historically for the first time in so many years. So that's a big deal. You have support from, of course, the Gulf countries,

Negotiations by Qatar and Pakistan, meeting in Switzerland.

The presidents with the G7 to discuss it even though they haven't had our backs on this. And so much of Europe also speaking about this. So there is wide broad base support to see this change in behavior take place. And you have the leaders of America, the leaders of Iran coming to say, "Okay, we can work this out."

And let's remember Iran doesn't have a choice in a lot of this because we destroyed so much.

And I'll give you a quick math equation.

Okay, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion.

Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead. Considering we destroyed their Navy, destroyed their Air Force, destroyed all those nuclear facilities I already spoke about. They're steel manufacturing, they're drone manufacturing. And so many other things. We destroyed all that and closed their ports.

We're pretty far ahead of it. And then you have Brian Mast over here talking about Trump's message at the G7. Needs to be that Europe needs to be a lot more like America and less like Europe. What are you even talking about? Let's play this clip.

That was when he was at the Oval Office with Friedrich Merz, the German Chancellor. The fact that he is now engaging with these leaders who basically turned in ran instead of helping him out. It's got to make for some interesting conversation, I would think. Yeah, undoubtedly the G7 wants to remain relevant. They want to have a seat at the table, even though they didn't have a seat in helping to destroy the very aggressive Iran that had been attacking everybody.

I think the president's probably going to tell them be a little bit more American and less European.

If somebody is afflighting you in attacking, you have the stones to go out there and hit back instead of run away like what you were doing. And you see this a little bit, you see Italy, I believe has since signaled that they might send a ship or two in there to help deal with some of the mines. We think, but I haven't seen much more since then. A good graduation from storm where I think that would be the extent of it. Now just to remind you of the types of things that we're going on on the White House.

I mean, you had the UFC fighters screaming that Michelle Obama is a man. Donald Trump hasn't called that out. I mean, that was the behavior that was being exhibited at the event. UFC fighters saying that you had, you know, very strange events where people had their shirts off and they were like, I don't even know what they were doing. And then you had like fights break out to take a look at what was happening over here.

I mean, while you have Iran's president possession skin putting out the following statement, the memorandum of understanding that has been drafted is to result in months of dialogue and persistent follow-ups in this regard. And if all of its provisions are properly implemented, it can be considered a document to pride for the country. I deem unnecessary to thank my brothers, Dr. Gallaboff. Iraq, chief, the members of the Sutra Council and all those who have played a role in this path.

That's what they're saying out of Iran. Meanwhile, in the United States, this is what's being leaked to the press. A senior US administration official called Oman, very duplicitous in negotiations with Iran. Showing a big disapproval with the longtime Gulf media to the foreign minister of Oman. We were very unhappy with the job the Oman he's did.

So we kind of threw them out of this process. So just okay, you're attacking Oman right now. Is that the next place that the Trump regime is looking to go after new reporting as well? You know how we reported last month that Trump did about 3600 to 3800 stock trades in the first quarter. Well, we're getting some numbers around that as CBS's reporting,

Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities in the first three months of the year,

which is an unprecedented sum. Yeah, for a sitting president. And one Donald Trump did this deal. One of the things he mentioned, this memorandum he mentioned the stock market, the stock market. But at the end of the day, as I've been saying,

Trump strategy to everything is just painted blue, right?

That's what I've said is like the big symbolism of the entire Trump regime painted blue.

When it comes to the reflecting pool, just painted blue on the bottom. But this is, but as I said on the sub stack that I just wrote, the algae always comes back. You can try to paint over the problem, but when you don't address it,

just painting it blue is never the right solution.

A duck swims over algae at the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has been painted blue with the directive of Donald Trump ahead of his 250th anniversary. This is what it now looks like. Paint it blue. Thanks for watching.
