Donald Trump is once again feuding with CNN, but this time it's over Iran. They did the thing they're supposed to do as journalists. They reported on the information being presented by the parties to the war and he is not happy with it. Here's the segment that apparently [00:00:15] got him all fired up. Iran's foreign minister just responding to Trump's ceasefire announcement. I wanna read part of it to you. He says if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks safe passage through [00:00:32] the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration of technical limitations. Obviously those words are crucial there. And the Supreme National Security Council of Iran has also issued a statement that I have here. And I'll just share you [00:00:51] a couple of the important lines here. One of them is that the regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz under the coordination of the armed forces of Iran. thereby conferring upon Iran a unique economic and geopolitical standing, which sounds like in a translation, [00:01:08] Iran saying that they see this as acknowledgement that they control the straight-a-form moves. I'm just reading the final sentence here of the statement from the Supreme National Security Council in Iran. They say, our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force. They also emphasize that [00:01:25] this deal, such that it is, does not signify any termination of the war. So that's it. She said what Trump is saying, she's saying what Iran is saying and Trump lost his goddamn mind. Now he is framing this as an issue with them spreading fake news. I just want you to think [00:01:43] briefly about what fake news means when Donald Trump says it. You already know everything you need to know about the story arguably, but he said, the alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud as CNN well knows. It was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria and of course they picked it up. The official statement was just released and posted on Truth. [00:02:02] Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? You mean Erin Burnett? Is she the sick rogue player or something? Okay, CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw [00:02:20] this statement with full apologies. So Trump doesn't like that they are doing what appears to be totally legitimate reporting. that doesn't reflect well on him and the narrative that he would desperately like you to believe coming out of the beginning of this ceasefire, that's [00:02:36] it. And as a result of that, the president on social media is calling a journalist a sick rogue player and ordering them to apologize for accurately reporting on something. So it's just the war against the media that continues. He says no one can believe that CNN put out [00:02:52] a knowingly false and dangerous statement. Yeah, I agree, I don't believe that. because it's not true. It was totally made up and posted as a headline for purpose of perhaps inflaming a very delicate situation. It was a new trouble making site from Nigeria and CNN just got caught [00:03:08] cheating. Anyway, here's the issue. In that segment we showed you, she read directly from the message that Trump posted. Was the fake news coming from inside his true social account the entire time? She didn't get it from a Nigerian fake news website or whatever. Now look, there's [00:03:26] a lot of competing information. But it isn't just Trump says this and Iran says this. Trump is saying directly contradictory things. Pete Hegson is contradicting Donald Trump as well. They're the ones spreading misinformation. So let's give CNN a chance to respond to some [00:03:42] of the attacks. The second document, the one apparently President Trump seems to be objecting to. is the one that's been sent to us by the Supreme National Security Council of Iran. That's Iran's highest military body. And that's a lot more aggressive and it goes into a lot [00:04:00] more detail about what that 10-point uh plan to end the war from Iran actually involves. But when President Trump posted on Truth Social that he objected to that report, to that document, he said it was fake, I followed up with the Iranian Foreign Ministry. said, look, do you [00:04:18] have this document that you can send to me? And they sent me the document themselves, which is exactly the same as the document we originally had. And so, I think we're pretty confident, very confident that this document is authentic. Yeah, they got it from Iranian [00:04:36] officials. It was reported on Iranian, it's not Nigerian fake news. It's just not. So then what is this about? What is this about? It's obvious, Donald Trump, needs some sort of change to the situation in the war. It's not going well. I mean, they're literally shooting down our jets now. His polling is going terribly. The entire thing is a mess. He has to get out. [00:04:57] Now he does not have the bargaining chips to get out on terms that objectively make him look good. I don't even know what those would look like, but regardless, he can't get them. So he has to get something. What can you get? Well, you can get what Iran is willing to give [00:05:14] you. You take that. And then you get the straight forward moves opened up. And what does that look like? It looks like the deal that Iran has been offering for weeks and weeks at this point. So you have to take that to get your ceasefire, but you can't let people see what [00:05:30] you're taking because it'll look terrible. So what do you do? You refuse to say what the points of agreement are. And then whenever Iranian officials say what they are, you just deny it. It's ridiculous. I mean, how could that possibly work to fool his people except that their MAGA. They have self-selected at this point that they are the most gullible [00:05:50] people in America, and they desperately want to believe him. So maybe it'll work.
