Starting point is 00:00:00 Donald Trump made an insane late-night post that is completely deranged. And we know that Donald Trump can feel it all falling down. Epstein files are being released. There's now information that the United States has actually bombed children intentionally. And his poll numbers are declining while prices are rising. So Donald Trump is lashing out. He's becoming more extreme. He just really doesn't have a filter.
Starting point is 00:00:27 So he is sharing his exact. thoughts on the internet. He can't even take very simple questions anymore, and look how defensive he gets when asked this. It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans now. That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. But can I be honest? It's just, I have a lot of respect for you. You've always been very nice to me. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else. Can we keep this maybe a little bit, go ahead, please. He's that multiple times in that press conference and why he's freaking out is because this is what happened. Like, U.S. has allegedly killed 165 school children. Here's Pete Hegseth being asked
Starting point is 00:01:23 about that. Can you give us an update on what the administration knows, what you know now, about the reported strike on a girls' school in southern Iran on Saturday? All I know, all I can say is that we're investigating that. We, of course, never target civilian targets, but we're taking a look in investigating that. Completely untrue. Completely untrue. Here is CNN reporting that they very much so did intend to target that school.
Starting point is 00:01:49 And here's how we know why. So nearly a week after a strike killed scores of Iranian students in Minab. It seems more and more likely that the year. US was responsible. A new satellite image shows an Iranian Revolutionary Guards base and an elementary school in southern Iran. Here you see craters in several of the buildings, including the school. They were hit in their exact centres, suggesting precision strikes, experts say. A wall separates the school and the base. Satellite images from December show dozens of people in what appears to be a handball court at the school. Reuters now reports that US military investigators believe US forces
Starting point is 00:02:26 were responsible, though they haven't yet reached a final conclusion. We paints a picture of multiple simultaneous or near simultaneous strikes. And it looks like these were delivered with explosive munitions, probably air delivered. I think the most likely scenario in this case is it's a US or Israeli airstrike gone or right. It's probably a targeting failure somewhere in the target cycle and intelligence failure. The Israeli military say they weren't operating in the area. To date, we've hit over 2,000 targets. American military officials say they carried out extensive strikes in this area.
Starting point is 00:02:54 They've released this map which shows strikes in southern Iran. The base and the school in Minab are located here. We, of course, never target civilian targets, but we're taking a look in investigating that. The damage we've seen is quite significant. It's unlikely it was something like an air defence missile by the Iranians, for example. With Iran's internet blackout, images and footage from the ground are limited, and CNN has not been able to examine fragments from the weapon we used, and so any assessment is inconclusive.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I mean, we'll see. I was on the young Turks yesterday where we talked about this. Well, this is what happens when you bring in a Fox News host to run these operations who reportedly has an issue with alcohol. We don't know whether or not that's still going on. And I want to say that I wish MAGA would turn on Trump over this, but we know that MAGA will eat whatever slop they're given by Donald Trump, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:03:48 83% of Republicans support this war, even though MAGA, Maga wanted no new wars, Donald Trump said he was going to release the Epstein files. He's not doing that. Donald Trump said he wasn't going to ever put us into any sort of conflict that we didn't need to be in. And MAGA is 100% behind it. So it's, I don't see how Donald Trump loses support from his base over this. And when it comes to this awful incident with school children, I just want to say that I don't
Starting point is 00:04:20 know if we can even trust the investigators who are going to. to be tasked to look into this because I don't trust anything coming out of the government right now. And maybe I never should have. But certainly I don't now when Donald Trump is meddling in every single investigation to make himself look as good as possible. We don't even know if the jobs reports are accurate anymore. So are we gonna trust them to investigate whether or not they created one of the mass casualties,
Starting point is 00:04:46 one of the worst in a generation? Yeah, well, I'm surprised that they already took some responsibility. I didn't expect that at all. So maybe it was in an effort to say, remember, it wasn't Israel. We should blame America. So I don't know, but I assume they didn't falsely take responsibility to be fair. But okay, now let's bring it down a little bit. So the reason why I mentioned that is obviously America and Israel are both doing bombings
Starting point is 00:05:16 and is a joint operation. And I often talk about the Israelification of our foreign policy and our military. And who hit schools and hospitals? The Israelis nonstop. They hit almost every hospital, almost every school in Gaza. So remember when they had that first hit on a hospital and we weren't sure if it was the Israelis or an errant missile? And they went ballistic over, you're all the anti-semites. How could you say the Israelis would have hit a hospital?
Starting point is 00:05:43 And then they hit every hospital in Gaza. And they're notorious for double taps. And so here, they say there's a double tap. The reporting on it is not as clear to me, right? But like if it's a double tap two on top, that's why part of it is some people on the right. Laura Ingram is not Laura Ingraham. That's a hilarious thing to say. She is basically speaking for our audience, because she's getting pressure from her audience, right?
Starting point is 00:06:15 And she says something is a little bit different on Foxx, and a little bit different on X. And on X, there's a lot of people, and this goes to the point that Keith Brown, and he's, up about MAGA and stuff. No, there are different bubbles. Like on television, Trump supporters are still 100% with Trump because Fox News is like Trump is a demigod, he's done nothing wrong. Remember he told he was gonna attack all these countries? They're like, did he?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, I guess he did. Yeah, yeah, I love it, right? So, but online with under 55 year olds, it's a totally different situation. So if on X, for example, Laura Ingram said, oh yeah, it's great, we should do double taps and murder all these kids. People would be like, no, even the right wingers online on X would be like, at least some portion of them would be like, no, we shouldn't do that, right? That's crazy. So there's that. But the second thing that I think is more important politically is that she's basically screaming like in the movie.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Get out. Get out. She's taking pictures. I take pictures. Have the flash go off so he wakes up and gets out. Because she's basically saying, don't keep going. If you put in the ground troops, you won't just destroy yourself. you'll destroy the Republican Party because even the guys on TV as zombies as they are watching Fox News,
Starting point is 00:07:29 if he puts ground troops in, that base is going to crumble. And already he's lost almost all the independence. And we're hearing that they're very much so going to be doing that. That is very likely that we're going to have ground troops in Iran. That leads us to today where Donald Trump said this, Iran, which is being beat to hell, has apologized and surrendered to his Middle East neighbors and promise that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promises only made because of the relentless US and Israeli attacked.
Starting point is 00:07:56 They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost in thousands of years. Just surrounding Middle Eastern countries, they have said, thank you, President Trump. I have said, you're welcome. Iran is no longer the bully the Middle East there instead, the loser the Middle East and will be for many decades until they surrender or more likely completely collapse.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Today, Iran will be hit very hard under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death because of Iran's bad behavior are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Deranged. Here's what one commentator said is it is no longer denialable. The President of the United States is a deranged brain dead man man that's surrounded by people that not only refused to question him, they egg him on. The 25th Amendment was created for way less than this. He's going to kill us all. I just got a question. Like, what happened to this guy? He recently said that the Middle East would be better off with Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and Assad in power.
Starting point is 00:08:47 How does... I didn't say Assad. But we certainly have not gained anything with Gaddafi. And you look at what happened. I mean, look at Libya. Look at Iraq. Iraq used to be no terrorist. He would kill the terrorists immediately. It was like now it's the Harvard of terrorism.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Iraq. If you look at Iraq from years ago, I'm not saying he was a nice guy. He was a horrible guy. But it was a lot better than it is right now. Right now, Iraq is a training ground for terrorists. Right now, Libya, nobody even knows Libya. Frankly, there is no Iraq and there is no Libya. It's all broken up.
Starting point is 00:09:23 They have no control. Nobody knows what's going on. The world would be better off with Saddam Hussein and Qaddafi in power. 100%. As far as Assad is concerned. What about the human rights abuses? Let's talk about, well, you don't think they're happening now? They're worse now than they ever were.
Starting point is 00:09:35 People are getting their heads chopped off. They're being drowned. Right now, they're far worse than they were ever under Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi. I mean, look what happened. Libya is a catastrophe. You look at our ambassadors. was a totally different guy. And you can kind of hear why people resonated with that message at the time.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And he also just sounds completely different. He doesn't sound like a dementia patient. I guess my question is like, will there be any consequences for the U.S. allegedly killing 160 school children? Will that matter at all? Will any of this matter? Will anyone get in trouble for any of this? Or is that?
Starting point is 00:10:09 Like, I don't, I truly don't understand why it's okay that that happened and that there will be no repercussions. 160 children died. Imagine your child being killed by another country. And then that's, that's just it. There's no recourse. It really does pain my soul. I'm just going to show you this.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And then we have Democrats in Congress. This is what they're doing. She posted this last yesterday morning. Last night, there was a firing most foul in my capital. Wait, who's this? Trust is shattered. And so is your place in Trump's game. Oh, Christy, it looks like crickets had the last laugh after all.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Don't do that. Stop that. Things are way too sensitive right now. You look like a fool. You are minimizing the very bad things happening in this country. You look completely disconnected from what most people in this country are worried about. And you look unprofessional and you come across as completely out of touch. I know you're an older lady and you've done a lot of good work.
Starting point is 00:11:26 This completely delegitimizes you. Stop doing that. Stop it. There are so many other things you can be saying right now and you could actually be saying things that are effective and impactful. We just talked about 12 minutes of these war crimes. The U.S. is committing and this is what you're posting about. I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I'm embarrassed for you. I hope you change either who is thinking of these things that you're doing or you reflect on why you're doing them. Cut it out.
