Donald Trump is begging for it to stop. He's begging because everything around him is falling. They're crashing out. We saw Judge Jeanine Piro just yesterday. What? People are saying she was drunk. I'm not an expert, but she definitely was on something, either frustration or a little bit of wine. But this is the sign, another sign of an administration that is flailing.

And that's why Donald Trump, early today, posted his last request for just Iran, please, please stop. And I'm sure he'd love for it all to just go away because he was also caught. Fundraising off of the war, you can't even, like, I think we're so, I mean, we're so beyond being outraged at this point. But can we please for just a moment, slow down and think about what this really means? like this is the casket of someone who died in Donald Trump's illegal war with Iran, a pointless, senseless war. And what's Donald Trump doing? He's fundraising. I'm making this announcement in public for the first time and made a special announcement to a public an hour ago for the very first time.

I'm opening up spots on the National Security Briefing membership. Claim your spot. There's him with a soldier who died. Okay? And I mean, we just have to one day just talk about how fundraising is just so predatory. Like national security briefing membership, did people really fall for this sort of thing? Regardless, Donald Trump, instead of, I don't know, trying to figure out a way to get us out of this thing, the thing that we never should have been in the first place, Donald Trump is using it, as he does with all things, an opportunity to make money. And that's why, too, we see his, his favorite drunk aunt, Judge Janine Piro, flailing

while on the podium yesterday. Now, what happened was that a federal judge blocked the investigation into Jerome Powell, and here was her response. Just a bit of it. It was an 11-minute

soliloquy, but here's my favorite part. And shame on them. Oh, cut it. out. Do you know how many convictions we've got cut it out? You're in one lane. We have cleaned up this city. Yeah, historic, really? I'll tell you what's historic. What's historic is that I prosecute everything other than 10% of the cases where the United States attorney before me didn't prosecute 67% of the cases. That's what's historic. I'm willing to take a not

guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill because I'll take all the crimes and put them in. Thank you. That's so extreme. Whoa. Some folks were saying, and I think this is true, they were saying that this woman knows that Pam Bondi is on her way out, and this is Judge Janine Piro auditioning to be Attorney General. Isn't that a frightening prospect? This woman, as...

This woman is our Attorney General? This woman? I mean, that's the thing with, that's the thing with how bad everything is, is it's bad, but it could always get worse. What is this? Someone posted this. The internet remains undefeated. Also, Donald Trump's own voters were, this is just insane.

Pro-gun activists were handing out free ammunition to AR-15s. is this not the sign of a broken country? And I don't mean to make fun of anyone, but I'm gonna. I guess I do mean to. I mean, bro, kind of looks exactly how you would think. Like that, like, if you were to cast the movie, this is who you would think would show up to get your free bullets for your AR-15.

And can we just talk about how, like, what kind of, like, what do you do? doing? You're giving your kids bullets. And let's just be clear, the only thing bullets are used for is to kill. So you're giving your child ammunition for a killing machine. I don't want to judge anyone's parenting, but I would never do that if I had a child. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is flailing, begging, this is really just a classic. He is really begging Iran to please stop. Has there ever been a president who's more flaccid and unintimating? The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both militarily spelled with a capital N, economically with a capital E for

some reason. And in every other way, but the countries of the world that receive oil through Hermaz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help a lot. The U.S. will also coordinate with those countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well. This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be. It will bring the world together toward harmony, security, and everlasting peace. President Donald J. Trump, the only people who control the straight of Hamas is Iran, but yet America has beaten and completely decimated them? That doesn't make sense to me. Does that make sense to you? Let's just read the subcontext below this. What this really is, is Donald Trump realizing he is getting beaten up because

militarily and economically Iran is destroying us. The thing with the thing is, the thing is, is like Iran is a smaller country, which means they can be nimble. They can be flexible. We are, imagine trying to turn around the Titanic. That would take forever. That's like we are not able to be as quick and responsive as a smaller country. And so in that is their advantage. And we do have advantages being a bigger country.

Unfortunately, we're being run by idiots who have, big problems. So Donald Trump is at complete disadvantage. He understands that he is being destroyed by this war, not physically, but politically. And we're also taking a hit economically in a way that, let's be clear, they were not anticipating. They're saying that they were anticipating this would be a problem. If they were anticipating it being a problem, why didn't they have a plan for it? No plan. No plan. No solution. They just went in. They started bombing to help Israel. And now they're stuck in a mess they can't get out of. Here is Josh Rogan explaining a bit more of that. It's the definition of an escalation ladder. It's the thing that

everyone talks about when you plan a short war, a war that's going to be quick and easy. Essentially, the enemy gets a vote. They escalate. Your instinct is to re-escalate. Then they re-escalate and before you know it you're in a quagbire and sure enough that seems exactly what's happening it was only yesterday remember abbey where trump said we're done we won we're going to get out it's over it's going to be over very very soon that's what he said yesterday and today he deployed 2,500 marines and sent them toward carg island it's going to take them two weeks to get there and he abandoned any timelines for the war as it says it's going to take as long as it takes so it's clear that the president has made a decision that he's going to escalate against the

Iranians and they're announcing that they're going to escalate against us. If we do that, and that just takes the region and the world into further economic chaos, further disruption, higher prices, higher inflation, more instability, more shortages, more migration, more extremism, and a war that lasts for months and months. It's the depth. A war that lasts for months and months and months. Are you prepared for months and months of this? We all know where this is all heading.

This is all heading towards boots on the ground. And what I'm hoping it doesn't lead to is some sort of nuclear catastrophe, which I think Donald Trump is desperate to do. He's fascinated by atomic weapons. I'm going to end with this because let's just like do a pallet cleanser. John Ossoff is my former boss and is running for re-election in Georgia. If you're in Georgia, this is one of the most important elections in the country. We've got to keep Georgia blue. And here is John Ossoff on all of this.

And I don't know if you saw it, but last night the White House put a video on social media that depicted this war as a video game. Did you all see that? When American service members killed in action are returning to the United States in flag-draped coffins, and even more Americans have lost limbs, or suffered terrible brain injuries, or are fighting for their lives, this White House treats war like a game. And it's a disgrace.

And it speaks to the moral rot of this administration. And I don't know. Period. Well, do please hit like, subscribe. I like that guy, John. I really, we really got to make sure he wins that election because he is an important voice in our party. And we need to elevate younger people.

and people who can speak clearly and normally about what's happening here. Again, like, subscribe, and I'll see you soon.
