| 0:00.0 | Good evening, everyone from New York. I'm Eamon Mojideen in for Chris Hayes. For days, the entire world has waited. |
| 0:12.7 | As an American president threatened to kill an entire population, Donald Trump, a man who has gone bankrupt six times, who has been impeached twice, and who has |
| 0:23.8 | 34 felony convictions, that guy, he set a deadline. He set a deadline for Iran to end the war |
| 0:31.5 | that he started. The ultimatum that he gave, quote, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. |
| 0:40.9 | And we are now about 45 seconds past his arbitrary deadline. |
| 0:45.5 | But just over an hour ago, Trump changed that deadline again. |
| 0:49.8 | After threatening to destroy an entire country's power plants and bridges and civilian infrastructure, |

| 1:35.4 | the most unstable leader in the world today. Just earlier, Iranian media showed people |
| 1:41.6 | forming human chains around power plants and on bridges |
| 1:45.4 | to defy and deter Donald Trump from bombing them. In response, Donald Trump told NBC News |
| 1:52.0 | that the human chains were, quote, totally illegal, adding, they're not allowed to do that. |
| 1:58.1 | On Capitol Hill, a growing chorus of Democrats this evening, 70 in the House so far, |
| 2:03.7 | are now demanding that Donald Trump be removed from office for threatening to kill a whole |
| 2:09.2 | civilization. A few Republicans spoke out against the president's threats as well today. |
