Donald Trump yesterday made an insane statement that Iran has now responded to. Yes, Donald Trump, instead of wishing everyone a happy Easter, praised Allah and said the following, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards. Or you'll be living in hell, just watch. Praise Allah, President Donald Trump. Now, as I said, Iran has responded to this in a way that I think makes Donald Trump look very weak.

and sad and frankly has humiliated him. Iran is not going to buckle to Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is making America look much weaker in this process. And it's making us, frankly, just less safe. Do you feel safer after this war? I don't because Donald Trump posted this Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern Time to me sounds like it can't be ruled out that he's threatening nuclear war. It can't be ruled out. Now, I want to give a hats off to Jake Tapper who yesterday read Donald Trump's statement word for word on the air, including the swearing. No longer, he has just threatened Iran in extraordinary graphic terms, giving the Iranian regime just over a day to either make a deal, reopen the strait of Hormuz or face hell.

If your children are watching, be warned the president did not use polite language. Quote, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. We should note that destroying civilian power infrastructure is generally considered

to constitute a war crime under... Yeah, that's another thing. It was actually a war crime, what he said. Now, Marjor Tiller Green said this, among other things. I mean, this is a long rant. She said that Donald Trump is evil. I'm glad she woke up where you been, bitch, because we've been saying this since 2016,

team and I'm glad at least you're starting to pay attention. I want to say it. Now, I'm going to show you what Iran responded with in just a moment. But the reason why Iran isn't scared of what Donald Trump has to say is because Donald Trump has been giving Iran a timeline repeatedly for over a week, if not longer. It's actually been more than two weeks that Donald Trump has been threatening Iran and then moving the gold post on March 22nd, 2026. Trump threatened to obliterate Iran.

Bonnie and Power Plants. He gave him 48 hours. On March 23rd, he said on Monday morning that the original deadline expired that there'd be a five-day pause. On March 26th, there was a 10-day extension. On March 26th to April 4th, he gave midweek warnings. And during that period, Trump issued various second warnings, including a Friday deadline mentioned earlier in the week of March 23rd before it was eventually superseded by a 10-day extension. On April 4th, the 48-hour final ultimatum on Saturday, Trump posted that time is running out, reiterating the window that aligned with the existing Monday evening deadline. And then on April 5th, there was a Tuesday extension on Sunday, as I said, yesterday following the rescue of a down U.S. Airman, Trump posted a crypto message on Tuesday,

saying Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern time. Now, as I said, Iran has responded to this and they're not taking it very seriously, would you when someone cries wolf enough times? You kind of go, okay, all right, See in the next deadline. Iran said a couple of things. First, they did this. This is the embassy. Trump, please talk. We are bored. And then when he asked to open the straight, they said, we've lost the keys. Just humiliating. And then they released this. Yeah, you blew the bridge. Posted the video proud. Power plans next. Stone age talk out loud. Watch this.

What? What? Civilians cry. True social flexing why they die. Power plants next blackouts in the night. Stone age threat. Great Persia still shines bright. You split the bridge and flames. Smoke filling up the sky, posted the video laughing,

showing off your strike, threatening power plants. Trying to turn off all the lights, dragging us to Stone Age with your illegal might. But Great Persia rises history on our side. Ancient empire strong, we never hide. True social warrior, keyboard criminal. Every strike you drop, we multiply. multiply to missile war crime, war crime, bridge down civilians cry, Trump on true social flexing while they die.

Power plants next blackouts in the night, stone age threat. Great purses still shines black. Now folks are asking like why is it that so many Americans are not rooting for America right now and I think quite frankly it's because we all know that what Donald Trump is proposing and what he's doing is one unconstitutional, two, illegal. Three, is constituting war crimes. So I don't know why any American would defend that. And I guess maybe in previous times, there would be enough people paying attention

to the same types of media that the government could control the messaging around why we're doing something. But that just doesn't exist now. And Donald Trump didn't even try to convince America, why we should be over in the Middle East. So that's why when we see stuff like this, we're kind of rooting for them because we feel as though there's no reason for this to be happening

other than the fact that Donald Trump is insane and he wants to distract from other problems here at home. Now, Donald Trump had said previously that with a little more time, we can easily open up the Hermuz Strait. Take the oil and make a fortune. It would be a gusher for the world President Donald Trump, to which I personally said,

if Trump needs help opening up a straight, I have some experience. Wink, ding. All right. And Iran also has said that, dear Americans, they said this just today. Your president is a pedophile. Re-tweet. Now, yesterday, when Donald Trump was missing, he started to call reporters very cryptically,

and it became a bit of a mean. Spoke with the president. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks. Some else said, I just spoke to the president on the phone. He said, he's not ruling. out sending ground troops. So Namel said, President Trump spoke with Fox News reporter on the phone. Trump says that if Iran doesn't make a deal quickly, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil. So Donald Trump is obviously trying to control the narrative around this in a way

that he can. He can't just go in front of cameras because there's something physically wrong with him. There's something mentally wrong with him, but he's doing what he can to try to get a message out there. I think ineffectively, I made it a meme saying I just got off the phone with the president. And he said, this is true when Jules said, I worked at the White House and confirmed that Donald Trump has died. I saw the body and poked it with a stick. He's gone, L.O.L.L. Now, Republicans are having a really hard time defending any of this.

You can see RET Mike Turner become an incoherent mess, stuttering and stammering when asked about ground troops in Iran. World, the president suggested that the Straits of Hormuz could open naturally. Is that realistic or is it going to take ground troops? Well, George, in any conflict, certainly, you know, Iran is going to have some things that they're going to be able to do during the conflict. But if you don't undertake the conflict, if you just step back and watch as the Obama administration was going to do while Iran became a nuclear power and they became North Korea, we wouldn't be looking at the Strait of Hormuz. We'd be looking at what's, you know, host, you know, having. Sounds like porky pig.

at risk. You'd have the United States being at risk. You'd have all of our allies and ultimately the continental United States at risk from Iran and the whole world being held hostage by a terrorist state. In this, as they in their last throes, you know, begin to do whatever they have left as a state militarily, they still are being significantly diminished and their ability to be able to be marching toward an... What is he even saying? I invite you to rewind that and ask yourself if you can...

Like, what is the point he's trying to make? Nuclear estate is being eliminated. Right, but what I asked you about was the Straits of Hormuz. The Straits of Hormuz are still closed to most traffic right now. Can it be reopened without American ground troops? Well, I think, you know, certainly you're seeing

that even as this conflict... But I don't know. No, Donald Trump hasn't told me. Now, for her part, Mike and Kelly is literally saying on her show that they are just covering up and not telling us everything. They're saying just like the ballroom we're way ahead of schedule. I mean, like, this is talking about American troops dying, like putting their lives at risk. It's not just like the ballroom. Like this is and it's not just like a fun little excursion into Iran. We've already lost 13 service men and women. We had another 25 injured over the weekend when Iran hit the Saudis and our plant, our base there.

So we had another 25 American service personnel injured there, many severely, severely injured. What does that mean? Lost limbs, severe head wounds. They don't tell us. That information has been largely censored from the American media. We don't know. We don't believe that we know the full extent of the deaths either. Yeah.

They are keeping the information from us because they'd rather have. Donald Trump hide from the press, talk to some by phone rather than actually just tell us what's actually happening. Because if they told us what's actually happening, even more Americans would be protesting and saying we have to get out of this illegal war. Here's just a bit of what has happened that they're not telling us. Pete Hags has claimed the U.S. has total air superiority over Iranian airspace. And just hours later, our planes were shot down. The war has, quote, overwhelming global support, they've said. Of course, we know that's not true. Last, The official reporting from SETCON showed 13 troops were killed, but international reports

show at least 750 U.S. troops have either been killed or injured. There are and will not be any boots on the ground in Iran was said, but the Pentagon has been secretly preparing for troops for weeks. They said the U.S. never target civilian sites. Of course, the U.S. hit a girl's school in Iran and killed at least 1,600 civilians, including 250 children. They said the war was necessary because Iran posed an imminent threat. I'm just going to stare directly at camera.

We know that's not true. That's just the beginning of the many lies this government has told us about this war that we don't want to be in, one that Iran is willing to fight. And in my opinion is winning. I don't want any troop to die, but I do want Donald Trump to suffer. I want Donald Trump to be humiliated by this. I hope this weakens America so that we stop using our money and our power to invade and hurt other countries and maybe, I don't know, start focusing on things that we can do here at home

to help Americans and help people who pay taxes rather than go into more forever wars that don't help us, they hurt us. Gas prices are more expensive than ever. People are dying. Troops are going to be sent to Iran. And for what? We can get some oil. It's not worth it. And I know many, many Americans are armed. I said. And I'll just end with this. I read somewhere that being an American right now is like riding in the back seat of a car with a drunk driver and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and I couldn't agree more.
