Donald Trump was panicking all last night in the White House, making social m...
after social media post like a deranged maniac. He was in full retreat mode and Iranian leaders
“were calling him out for being in full retreat mode. A well-informed Iranian source told Al-Jazeera”
that negative vibes are already surfacing about the potential for a peace deal between the United States and Iran for the U.S. and Israel's catastrophic war in Iran. These sources are saying that there are signs of a U.S. Donald Trump retreat on two central issues, the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets and the scope of ceasefire in Lebanon. And this retreat followed the mega-republican war hawks pushing Donald Trump to go back to war
with Iran and also a phone call that Donald Trump received from Netanyahu. We believed 48 hours ago that there was going to be a deal between the United States and Iran. Donald Trump made a social media post suggesting as such. And now he's going back on that instead. He's posting AI memes like this. And AI meme of a missile attached to an airplane that says, "Thank you for your attention to this matter to which Iranian leaders immediately responded
with a photograph of American airplanes that were destroyed by Iranian drones and mocking Donald Trump for making such a post. Donald Trump then posted the following as well yesterday. If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of cash and a clear and open path to a nuclear weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it or knows what it is.
It isn't even fully negotiated yet. So don't listen to the losers who are critical about
something. They know nothing about. Unlike those before me, who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don't make bad deals. DJTA, you make the worst deals. You've been bankrupt over and over again. DJCPOA was actually a good deal, multilateral and scope with lots of nations ensuring that Iran wouldn't get weapons, grade, nuclear material and basically you're doing a weaker version of the JCPOA and Iran controls. The straight of or moves,
Donald Trump then continue to make posts about former president Biden and he posts this image of Biden and he posts a photo. That says Trump and it appears to be a stream of water.
“I mean, that's how Donald Trump is behaving right now. Look, I think the American people see what's”
going on right now. You look at the latest generic polling data, the RCP generic ballot. Right now, Democrats and the generic ballot are up plus 7.4. If you look at what it was like in 2018 at this time, it was Democrats plus 4.0 in a big wave then Democrats in 2014 plus 0.6 in 2022 Republicans were up plus 2.2 interesting as well when you look at young voters. Donald Trump has completely lost young voters right now in May of 2026. Donald Trump's net approval amongst voters 18 to 29 years old
is negative 57 in January of 2026. It was negative 27. And you go and you look at the generic ballot poll right now as in May of 2026, Democrats plus 33 among young voters right now. Donald Trump
completely losing support. Here's what the Iranian spokesperson for the IRGC had to say about,
you know, the current status of the deal. We reaffirm that the strait of her moves will remain under full Iranian administration and sovereignty even in the event of reaching any future agreement. The Islamic Republic emphasized that the authorities to determine transit routes, timing and issuance and maritime licenses are an absolute sovereign right exclusively in the hands of Tehran. And then he goes on to say the spokesperson for the IRGC.
If the enemy attacks the strait of her moves, we will break the naval blockade and may withdraw from
“the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. So that means that's how Iran feels what's going on right now.”
Meanwhile, back on the home front, you have Maga Mike Johnson going on state regime media,
which calls itself Fox. Here's what Maga Mike is saying. So you can hear what like the
Republican talking point is. They think that they've been good on kitchen table issues. Play this clip. Let's just talk politics here. What does this mean for you and the midterms? Because I know this consumes your thoughts a lot. Yeah, it's a big thing. Obviously, we've done a lot of work. The big beautiful bill that working families tax got all of our legislation has been
Geared towards the cost of living, affordability, bringing the cost of living...
We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket.
And we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter and then the Iran skirmish began.
So when this settles out, gas prices come back down to earth. That means you grow your prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest. Give me a big factor. The kitchen table issues are going to decide the midterm.
“Can those things come down in time to help you out in the midterm?”
Yes, we got plenty of runway. We have better candidates. We have a fundraise and advantage. We're super excited about the midterms. I'm absolutely convinced that we're going to grow the majority
and we'll get this done and make history. It's the nobody's buying it. You have a new
type of Democrat, you know, I think emerging in people like Graham Platner. You saw a Graham Platner spiked the oligarchy speech that he gave yesterday. We covered it here live on the Midas Touch Network with Bernie Sanders. This right here is where the American people are focused on. Well, Donald Trump is talking about golden ballrooms and arches and while Trump is stock trading and enriching himself and making people pay crypto tribute to him for quid
pro quo's selling out the United States of America, weakening the United States of America for his Epstein class. Let me share with you what Graham Platner said and we both we've had Graham Platner on from the very very beginning and let me to show you what Graham saying here
“play this clip. I believe that in our country, the voices of working people are far more important”
than the voices of those who simply have money. I believe that we should not be settling for scraps that they throw to us from the table where they die in the Epstein class. I don't think that a CEO should have more power than a union member. I don't think that private equity deserves more time with the senator than someone who works two jobs just to get by. We are in the straight sweetheart today because that is exactly what has happened. But the world that we live in
is not how it has to be. We can have a health care system that is not just another mechanism of extracting wealth out of working Americans, but a guarantee of safety and health for all. Also, when we talk about this new generation of democrats, democratic senator John Ossoff
“running for reelection in Georgia, here's what he has to say play this clip.”
You also probably saw that as he continues his project of turning the White House into his royal palace. He's demanding vast sums of money, your money, the people's money for his ballroom. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in a pattern of corruption and abuse unprecedented in the history of the presidency. But you can rest assured that both of my opponents would be voting for this insurrectionist slush fund
and would be voting for this crooked ballroom. And they're going to come down here to Georgia and spend hundreds of millions of dollars to try to elect one of these two Trump puppets to the United States Senate. And folks, even Republicans are not buying what Donald Trump's selling right now. I'll show you what Republicans Senator Tom Tillis had to say about Heggseth. And he said Heggseth is so
bad that he makes Christy gnome look like a five star recruit. Here's what Tillis had to say.
Let's play this clip. It is unclear as of now that the Trump administration is going to be able to get a better deal than Obama got without even having to fire a shot. You just mentioned Secretary Heggseth. Do you think the president has been advised? Well, by Secretary Heggseth on this note, I actually, if you take a look at the assessment that Heggseth gave, at the end of the day, regardless of who collected the information. Heggseth owns it by being Secretary of Defense.
When you tell the president that you have obliterated Iran and you're in a position to pretty much dictate terms. And now you see what we have. When you see Heggseth pull back on operations in Poland, when Russia is raping killing, murdering, torturing, countless people in Ukraine, when you see these mistakes made by Heggseth, I actually, I think with all these mistakes
In total, it's beginning to make Christy gnome look like a five star recruit.
Kelly of all people had the following to say about Donald Trump. Here's what Megan Kelly said.
“You know what Megan, I got to push back a little bit because, you know, Trump didn't take a salary”
while he's president. So, I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, you look at like across the board of the Trump family, I've never seen a family get so rich off of a presidency. And it happened at the same time as we now have a Supreme Court ruling that basically says any official act he takes while in the White House is protected. Right. And those two things are, you know, seem to be giving him some sort of a hall pass
that could very much get abused. I don't want to, you know, say he's cross the line legally because I actually haven't taken a close look at that. But, you know, he's done a lot that pushes it right up to the line. And I just don't think we want our presidents or their families getting rich off of the presidency. And I really want to know more about all these trades that are happening
“on Iran right before he makes the announcements. This is not the way it's supposed to be. This,”
even one of those would have caused a massive scandal 12 13 years ago. You know, it shouldn't be so far a field that like these obvious ethical questions get scurred to past with just a shoulder shred, because it does matter. Going back for a moment for what they're saying in Iran, a source very close to MB Gallabov Iran's parliament leader posted the following.
The United States and the existing draft text of the agreement with Iran has for the first time
accepted a commitment on behalf of the Israeli regime to cease all military operations and any form of threats against all fronts of resistance, including Lebanon. This amounts to neutralizing the United States overarching strategy in the region based on keeping the regime separate from any agreement and preserving the regime's freedom of action against Iran and the resistance. If this text is finalized, it will represent an unprecedented concession and signify strategic
defeat for the United States and the regime in the war against Iran. Then it goes on to say intelligence assessment. During this week and next week, holidays in the United States and opportunity for a surprise attack on Iran and the resistance is considered sufficient, vigilance
“exists and immediate confrontation scenarios have been prepared. So that's what they're saying in”
Iran right now. Also, one of the things that Donald Trump has demanded, although it has not really been all that effective, the White House and Angiodecidario reported it from punchball, the White House is demanding GOP lawmakers asking GOP lawmakers to tweet support for the emerging deal with Iran this weekend. Some did others dreading returning from recess have to defend it per senior GOP aid. So that's what they're saying there. And then you got people like Scott Jennings,
these magasic offense who are out there basically saying inciter is reporting from an unnamed
White House official that the Iran deal is 95 percent done. The remaining 5 percent, however,
of negotiations are focused on Iran opening the straight of Hormuz and turning over all nuclear material as our editor-in-chief, Ron Philopkowski writes, "Good thing Iran giving up uranium and opening up the straight is only 5 percent, or I might be pessimistic about this situation." Now, Donald Trump has been, of course, manipulating the markets, oil, the price of crude futures, decreased about 5 percent, based on all of the manipulation taking place. Stock futures,
at least as of now, from the Nasdech, the S&P and the Dow are very, very high. But if we actually focus again on what's happening right now, I try to root us in reality by giving us the best sourcing. So here's some of the best sourcing, Alicia. Less than 24 hours after optimism emerged around possible Iran, U.S. memorandum, negative vibes, resurfacing, a well-informed Iranian source tells me there are signs of U.S. retreat on the two central issues. The mechanism
for unfreezing Iranian assets and the scope of ceasefire in Lebanon. According to the source, the memorandum includes a Lebanon ceasefire framework, but Israel is reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement and is pushing Washington to include language, allowing Israel to carry out military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to "any threat." Iran is rejecting that formulation and insisting on a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.
Tehran has informed all mediators, including Pakistan, that it will not sign the memorandum, unless all clauses are fully agreed and guaranteed. Pakistan reportedly suggested moving forward with the agreed sections while postponing contentious points, but Iran rejected that approach. Insisting the disputed clauses are fundamental and non-negotiable. The overall picture suggests
Tehran increasingly views Washington as backing away from the earlier underst...
through mediators, after Netanyahu called Donald Trump, and the Maga War Congress called
“up Donald Trump. Ali Golaki says Netanyahu's contact with Trump was enough to bring U.S. policy”
back to quote, "no dust, no export of 400 kilograms of Iranian, no dollars, cancellation of the release of Iran's frozen assets, no dust, no dollars." The United States has decided not to release a single dollar from the country's frozen assets until we yield to America's nuclear
“demands. On the other hand, Iran has recently raised its red line for enrichment from 3.67%”
to 20% and 400 kilograms of Iranian won't be leaving Iran either. Iran will probably not sign the Islamabad understanding amid the uncertain situation of lifting the straight blockade by America. Value to release frozen assets and America's maximalist nuclear demands. What Iran realizes
“we're not going to open up the straight of Hormuz, lose our leverage, and not have you unfreeze”
the assets and not have you do the things that you said you were going to do. You America unfreeze
the assets give us billions of dollars that we want as much as $25 to $100 billion in sanctions
relief, then we'll respond and open up the straight of Hormuz, and then maybe later we can deal with the nuclear issue, but we're not giving you the nuclear. As they've made clear, they said, "Look, we're not making weapons gray nuclear, weapons gray nuclear bombs, but we're not going to give up our civilian nuclear program at all." So that's where things stand right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. I want to give you that comprehensive update. Let me know
