Chaos has already erupted at the World cup before it even started in the United States. That is as the Trump regime is taking punitive measures against key soccer officials or football officials from certain countries. The United States is now banning Iranian managers and top soccer officials from showing up to attend the World cup during accompany the team. Other punitive measures are being taken against the Iran soccer or football team. They're not being allowed to stay in the United States after their game is played. They have to immediately go back to Mexico under a bunch of other threats. Also, the United States has been harassing key soccer or football players from Iraq and their managers and officials who have arrived at airports in Chicago and other places in the United States states. Separately, the Trump regime is sending diplomatic cables threatening to take unilateral actions against European countries that the Trump regime is calling out for the way they're dealing with the Ebola outbreak, which has largely been caused by the Trump regime's destruction of usaid, CDC and other critical Ebola detection programs. Let's just break down what's going on step by step. And I'll also mention that there are a number of nations where fans are totally banned from even showing up to the World Cup. I mean, if you take a look at some of the full bands. If you're from Haiti, if you are from Iran, if you are from Senegal, Senegal, if you're from Ivory coast or Cote d', Ivoire, as a fan, you can't show up. You're not allowed to attend the World Cup. If you're from Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, there are severe restrictions placed on you as a fan. This is fairly unprecedented stuff right here. Let's break down what's happening step by step. And then in this video I also want to talk about the karma that Donald Trump is getting because as he is engaged in this behavior, the weather forecast for that UFC fight on June 14th showing that there may be massive thunderstorms in Washington, D.C. there's like a 60 to 65% chance of rain and thunderstorms that night. And I think this is just the perfect karma based on the way Donald Trump is behaving here. So let's just do it the Midas touch way. Very detailed, very meticulous hit. Subscribe, help us get to 7 million subscribers, double check that you're subscribed. So while the Trump regime threw Tom Barrack, an ambassador to Turkey and someone who Donald Trump selects as an envoy to Syria and other places he posted. Look, the United States is allowing the Iran soccer or football team entry into the United States. We've given them visas. Look how we can rise above everything when it comes to sports. Well, you should have given them visas not at the very last minute, number one, but number two, you're banning their key officials who work on the team, like their managers and other people who help coach the team. Here's what we're now learning. Iran says that US has denied visas to key World cup officials. The Iran Soccer Federation has accused the United States of, quote, vindictive behavior after saying that the visas were refused for key managerial and administrative member of his World cup team. The Iran Football Federation Secretary General Hadi Mobane, its vice president Medi Mohammed Nabi were among 14 staff people who are critical to the team. Just think about all of the team, all of the staff that travels with the soccer or football team and they were just notified they will not be allowed into the United States. They're banned. And the three Iran games are all in the United States. And so it's really unprecedented punitive stuff. And it's unclear whether Iran's Football federation president Mehdi Taj will be banned as well, but it seems likely that he will be. Although we're following this up. Iran will be staying in Mexico while the World cup is happening and they travel to the United States to play their games in the US and then the US Said as soon as your game ends, you basically need to leave immediately. Iran's World cup team must enter and leave on match day is what Tehran is explaining. Iran's World cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave U.S. soil on the same day of their matches played in the United States. The country's ambassador to Mexico says due to the US Israel war on Tehran, Iran's team is now based in Mexico instead of their intended site in Tucson, Arizona. Quote, we can enter in the morning and we must leave the same day. Iran's envoy Abalfasal Pasandia told reporters explaining the visa restrictions. The Iranian squad has three group matches in the United States in Los Angeles and Seattle. And the Tasnim News Agency, Iran's news agency, said that the they've learned that the team manager and all these other critical positions, the member of the national team's media, their foreign affairs security team, all these people were basically banned from showing up to watch the World Cup. So that's Iran. We go to Iraq. Iraq World cup striker Hussein question for hours at a Chicago airport. I'm in Amen. Hussein was held in question for nearly seven hours at Chicago o' Hare Airport after arriving with the squad early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said Hussein was finally allowed in, but the team's photographer was barred from entering the United States, said the official, who works for the Iraqi Olympic Committee but has close contacts with the team. U.S. immigration Customs Enforcement and the Homeland Security Department did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment on the reporting, questioning and banning of the Iraqi officials and the harassment of the Iraqi striker. Fans came out in the early hours of the morning to greet the Iraq squad at the airport, holding flags and asking players to pose for pictures, and they didn't see Ayman there and he didn't show up. Hussein's phone was inspected after he arrived, and the national team photographer, Talal Salah, was held for more than 10 hours, underwent similar phone checks, and was ultimately denied entry into the United States. Iraq is returning to the World cup for the first time since making their debut 40 years ago. So as these teams are arriving, the Trump regime are seizing their phones, going through all of their phones and then deciding if they can be here in the United States or not. And it's not just Iran and Iraq, it's Europe as well. Under attack from the United States as it relates to the World Cup, US Is warning Europe step up Ebola screening ahead of the World Cup. A State Department cable this week instructed U.S. diplomats to warn European countries of possible consequences if they fail to adopt the Trump administration's Ebola precautions. Like the gall that the Trump regime got rid of all Ebola detection and all Ebola precautions. Remember, Elon Musk bragged, ha ha, we didn't think we need the Ebola precautions. Remember, he did that. The Trump regime guts the cdc. Then there's an Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, and then the Trump regime attacks Europe for it and then threatens to take, quote, unilateral actions against Europe. It goes on to say U.S. diplomats were told to ask European countries implement travel restrictions and quote, the failure to adopt similar travel measures may require the United States to adopt unilateral measures against you.

And it's not just Ebola and Huntavirus that are worrying health officials in the United States. There's a measles outbreak right now in the United States as a result of RFK June Junior's anti vax conspiracy laden behavior. And of course COVID 19 and the flu still exist. And with all of these people showing up the COVID outbreaks something to be concerned about. You have Andrew Giuliani Rudy Giuliani's son is the Nepo kid who was running the FIFA program for the United States inside the United States and the White House FIFA Task Force says that Andrew Giuliani is briefing the European Union Ambassador delegation to Washington, D.C. as they threaten Europe. As I just noted, as I stated at the outset of this video, Tom Barak, the United States Ambassador to Turkey, posted Proud of our outstanding team at the US Embassy in Ankara for their work processing visas for Iran's national football team on their road to FIFA. World cup sports transcends borders and we look forward to welcoming competitors and fans from around the world. To which the Iranian Embassy in Turkey responded by saying, you cannot whitewash conduct that violates FIFA regulations and breaches the United States host obligations merely by praising yourself. Why do you not say that Visas were denied to a large portion of the managerial and executive staff, technical advisors and others who are integral parts of any national football team, you have now escalated the deliberate and discriminatory treatment against Iran's national football team to its highest levels. By extending your whimsical hostilities against the Iranian nation into the realm of sports, the US Government in practice is depriving Iran's national team of its right to play in the World cup under normal conditions and without undue pressure and stress. This represents the worst possible form of politically biased interference in sport. FIFA must hold The US Accountable for violations of its rules and for the discriminatory treatment of Iran's national football team. So the Iranian team traveled to Turkey, from Turkey to Mexico. They'll stay in Mexico. They'll show up for their games in Los Angeles and Seattle. Then they must leave immediately. But their coaches and managers and key people are not allowed into the United States as the Trump regime is interfering in that, I think, very, very serious way. I want to show this with you, though, because Iran's 2026 World cup team just dropped this video right here that says the boys are ready to play despite all of the obstacles. And this is the video that they released, and it's of the Iranian football team or soccer team, and I'll show it to you. It's a very powerful video right here. I think it slaps. It hits pretty hard here. Let's play this clip right here. Now, as I mentioned at the outset, I also want to show you the karma that Donald Trump is getting for all of this. The weather forecast at the UFC fight on June 14th. Let's pull it up right here. 64% chance of rain, likely going to be thunderstorms, a couple of thunderstorms, and it's all happening outside. And so that's something to focus on. Will the entire thing be shut down because of weather? That's exactly what Joe Rogan had warned. You can't do this event outside. It's a Swamp in D.C. in June. It's very hot, it's unsafe, and it could rain. So imagine if there's now lightning and thunder that takes place on that day. Meanwhile, you have Donald Trump making videos saying that he wants to keep the UFC stadium forever at the White House. He just wants it to always look like. Like this junkyard. That's what he wants it to look like. Here's the video that Donald Trump made on that front. You can see it for yourself right here. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
Know that in Paris, France, The Eiffel Tower, 1889, it was built, it was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World's Fair. And then they said, you know, we sort of like it. Let's leave it up a little bit longer. And then they said, let's leave it up longer and longer and longer. Well, they never took it down. And, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. It's going to have the big UFC fight on June 14, and I'm looking at it, and maybe we'll Never, ever take it down.

Now, I also want to highlight too, what's going on. I mean, Donald Trump said that the UFC and their parent company TKO is going to have to pay for this event, which is $65 million or $70 million or more. I think the taxpayers are going to be paying for a lot of things that are happening in terms of safety and security and otherwise. But Trump is having right wing oligarchs buy seats for a million dollars and a million and a half dollars. So all you need is 60 oligarchs, which they'll be doing about a million bucks, a million and a half that reimburses Dana White and the UFC by having these oligarchs do that. And then Donald Trump is investing in the parent company tko, which is the parent company of WWE and the parent company of ufc. They've also received mega investments from Saudi Arabia, which also has those links with Kushner and Kushner's private equity firm, Affinity. And one of the leagues that's under TKO is a boxing league and it's a new boxing league called Zufa Boxing. And there's a law right now called the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform act of 2000 that basically prevents exploitation of boxers by certain type of promoters. So the way UFC is run in like a centralized organization kind of top down, so that the UFC fighters are not able to kind of independently collectively bargain or bargain for themselves and what their fees are and rates are, it's controlled by ufc. The Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform act prevents that from happening in boxing. Well, Dana White, TKO and the Saudis want that changed so that Zufa Boxing can have a UFC style model and kind of change boxing. And so one can also view the $65 million. I'm giving you my opinion, even though it's being reimbursed by right wing oligarchs. This event as part of a lobbying effort for Zufa Boxing to repeal the Muhammad Ali Reform act and replace it with the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival act, which has passed in the House, which is a MAGA legislation to remove some of the protections for individual boxers, which is what TKO Boxing wants.
