BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was losing all control on air, on live TV. We saw meltdown after meltdown of their propagandists, whether it was Jesse Waters, Laura Ingram, Hannity, you name it. It was a absolute disgrace. Let me just show you what went down when you had Jesse Waters saying, look, I think maybe we used the oil money from Venezuela. that will steal, then we'll take that to buy Greenland.

How is this even on a network calling itself news? It isn't. It's regime propaganda. Here, play this clip. They want to do a deal. There's a method to the madness. Maybe we use the oil money from Venezuela to buy Greenland. Maybe we just share it with the Danes.

I hear the Scandinavians like to get down like that. We don't judge. Then you have Laura Ingram interviewing Senator Marino or Moreno from Ohio. And Ingram's like, you know, Greenland doesn't even exist if it was not for the United States. Canada doesn't exist if it's not for the United States. They owe our existence to us. What are you talking about? The most ridiculous statements ever play this clip.

Including using the military. Greenland obviously would not exist were it not for the. United States of America. We defend it. Canada would cease to exist without the U.S. military. They, you know, they're our ally, but they're free riders. And they've made their views about the United States lately very clear. I mean, for real, this is worse than like R.T. or Sputnik or TASS tasks in Russia. I mean, this is like worse than pink dress lady in North Korea. Then Senator Moreno is like, in terms of oil, we deserve to be reimbursed from Vesha. Venezuela for setting them free.

Here, just play this clip. It was flawless. In terms of the oil, Laura, the days of America doing these things at our expense that the taxpayer expense is over. We deserve to be reimbursed for the cost that it took financially to free Venezuela. Setting them free, we just put in another Maduro stooge, who many believe is even more repressive than Maduro is. I mean set them free.

I'll just share with you. This is what a guest said on another program of Fox earlier in the day before it went into their evening program where this guest talked about that Delci Rodriguez is like a terrorist and that Delci Rodriguez is someone who would kill all of the Venezuelans who are in the United States if they were to return. Here, play this clip. She's even more radical than Maduro. She's actually the daughter of Venezuelan terrorists who kidnapped an American businessman

and was eventually killed by police forces. That really shows to you how she's a true ideologue, but she's very smart and worldly, and she knows how to handle herself. So right now, we've been as well as fear that they're going to leave us with Delci Rodriguez, who we know us are chief of torture. Now, back to Ingram, as she says,

you know, Denmark's saying Greenland isn't for sale, though. And then Senator Marino, Margar Publin's like, we'll see about that here, play this clip. What about the idea of purchasing Greenland? Greenland, Denmark said it's not for sale. Well, that's left the 50,000 people or so that live in Greenland made that decision. It could mean millions to each one of those people. And they'd have an absolutely much better partner in America that we have the strength,

the capabilities to actually help that country thrive and to have a check on Russia and China. I think it's a no-brainer. But instead of having an argument between us and Denmark, let's let's let the people of Greenland decide. And by the way, while all of this was going on, even Megan Kelly. who used to be a host for 20 years on state regime media propaganda, she now has her own podcast. Megan Kelly's like, yeah, this is like regime. She, Megan Kelly's using my language and referring to it as regime propaganda media.

Here, play this clip. When I was at Fox News, which was a long time, 14 years, I would have known exactly what to do in the wake of Trump's attack in Venezuela, his retrieval, shall we say, to put it in mild terms of Nicholas Maduro, I would have known that I was supposed to cheerlead it. And I turned on Fox News yesterday, and I'm sorry, but it was like watching Russian propaganda. There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah, rah, cheerleading, yes, let's go. And there was more of Jesse Waters saying, why are people mad that we're stealing the oil from

Venezuela? What do you think our economy runs on? Solar panels? of course we need to steal oil again this is what they're putting on on fox on a regular basis here play this clip they are mad that we're taking the oil what do you think this economy runs on solar panels you think we're going to win the a i race with china with windmills did the democrats even build any windmills in four years did the democrats build anything how about being proud to be an american

And then Jesse Waters goes on and talks about how this is about America, building an empire, and we'll have our own cartel where we'll control 40% of the world oil play this clue. She might not break up with the cartels because the cartel kickbacks are what keeps the generals fat and happy, but she will hand us back our oil and the golds and the minerals for sure because that's what we're going to need for AI. Now, between Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Latin America, that puts Trump in control of a North and South American oil empire, which would control 40% of world oil production. Kind of makes us the new OPEC. We'd be in the strongest position. We've been in a long time. But there's one more thing we need. Greenland has a population of 30,000 people, Jake.

The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark? The United States is the power of NATO. For the United States to secure the Arctic region to protect and defend NATO and NATO interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the United States. Not only a Russian and Chinese ship sailing all across the Arctic looking for riches and new routes,

the flight paths of Russian missiles, they go directly across Greenland into the United States. Can't have that. The Arctic is the new frontier. It's the new battle space, economically and militarily. And this tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny Scandinavian country,

a NATO member, for sure, has an uninhabited colony, bigger than Alaska, sitting off the coast of Maine. Now, if we're going to defend NATO from the Russians and the Chinese, Denmark's not going to be able to do it because

they just can't and they're getting a little prickly about the situation. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar, our exclusive snack, hydration and coffee sponsor. IQ Bar Protein bars, IQ Mix, Hydration mixes, and IQ Joe mushroom coffees are delicious, low sugar, brain and body

And they have Attorney General Pam Bondi shows up, and she parrots Donald Trump's, talking points and says, you know, the reason we had to invade is because Maduro emptied his

insane asylums into the United States. Donald Trump believes that people who seek asylum come from insane asylums. And Pambandi is regurgitating those talking points. Here, play this clip. And Larry, you know, don't forget the Maduro. emptied his prisons, he emptied insane asylums, and let those people come into our country. During the last administration, and President Trump stopped it. Now he is sitting in the Southern District of New York, where he and his wife, Celia Maduro, will be held accountable for their crimes. This isn't just a drug dealer.

You know, he's a monster. He's a narco-terrorist. And she's also charged with three of the counts. Then you have this weird guy, this MAGA Republican senator from South Carolina, Tim Scott. And he's like all of the free people in Venezuela are celebrating. Where, where Tim Scott? Where are they celebrating?

I could show you footage of pro-Moduro protesters in Venezuela. I'm not suggesting that they're not being coerced to go out there for Maduro. but there's little to no sign of opposition to Maduro or to the new Delci Rodriguez authoritarian regime. Quite the contrary, there are paramilitary groups roaming the streets of Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela, and anybody who has pro-U.S. leanings is being disappeared. But go on, Tim Scott. Tell us about in your imaginary mind where these freedom protest, protests are taking place in Venezuela.

Here, play this clip. Yeah. I do not at all. Let's get right back to the main thing. President Trump is a decisive, effective leader, and people, free people are now celebrating in Venezuela and under dictators, Cuba, Iran. Listen, people smell freedom in the air, and they can thank Donald J. Trump, our president, number 47, for the freedom they can feel in the air.

And that's why people are rising up. in countries run by dictators, they now know there might be hope. Then Lindsey Graham's like, I'll tell you who's in charge of Venezuela, Donald J. Trump. Here play this clip. Who's in charge of Venezuela? Donald J. Trump. Now, people from the regime, the old regime are helping us. We don't want to put a bunch of troops on the ground.

So we got people from the old regime helping us rebuild the country to transition to democratic elections. They will be regime change in Venezuela. through the ballot box, but who's in charge of Venezuela, Donald J. Trump. If you defy him, if you're one of the holdovers and you try to undercut him, what happened to Maduro is going to happen to you? How embarrassing is that? How utterly embarrassing is that? Then you have Christie Nome on Jesse Waters and she did one of her cosplay operations in Minnesota yesterday where she dressed up and she played G.I. Jane. She's like, oh, look how strong I am. So utterly embarrassing. Jesse Waters is like, are people thanking you? And she's like, yes, they are

thanking me. For what? For sending Gestapo into states and attacking peaceful communities like a disgusting thug that you are? You are a disgusting thug, Christy Noem. Here, play this clip. Are people thanking you when you're there? I mean, it seems like you're rounding up a lot of bad And it's kind of out in the open. Do people come up to you and just say, you know, we've been dealing this trouble for a long time, you know, we appreciate it? They do. The people that are on the streets. Then you have Lindsey Graham, just basically, I don't know what he's doing here. I think he's getting aroused saying that Donald Trump is the greatest president of his lifetime. Play this

clip. The dictator, the thug is in jail in New York. Donald J. Trump, in my view, view is the greatest president of all time. He is cutting your taxes. He's cutting spending. Every drug, uh, narco terrorist drug dealer, uh, drug leader is on the run. I mean, this guy, Lindsey Graham's a weird dude. Like, whatever Lindsay Graham is struggling with in his personal and private life. Like, it's all good, Lindsay. Be whoever you want to be. Like, that's the thing. Like, just go and be like, why are you turning into this like weird? I'm going to going, we're going to kill you. We get it.

Lindsay, Lindsay, listen, we get it. Okay, Lindsay, we understand what's going on here, okay? And Lindsey Graham's like, and then we're going for Cuba. Play this clip. And Venezuela, both of them are in a box. It's just a matter of time, and I mean a short time, to the communist dictatorship in Cuba, that has oppressed their people since the mid-50s

falls to be replaced with a democracy friendly to the United States. Cuba will be the single, Singapore of the region to the people of Cuba, help is on the way. He goes, then we're going for Iran. Here play this clip. Change is coming to Iran. It'll be the biggest change in the history of the mid-east to get rid of this Nazi regime.

To the people of Iran, help is on the way. And then finally, you have Dr. Oz saying that the American Pediatric Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, he calls. it a captured organization with no credibility because the American Association of Pediatrics is coming out against the Trump regime's removal of the key vaccine recommendations. So Trump and RFK have removed the list of most of the vaccine recommendations and substituted with RFK Jr.'s conspiracies. And now they attack the American Association of Pediatrics.

your play of this quote and essentially saying that you're killing public trust in public health by doing this without consulting the experts in the field they weren't consulted and they're basically saying you know it this is implying that this entire thing is political the american association pediatrics is a captured organization uh and we don't believe they actually even represent the haptic pediatrician community anymore who are out there saying what are you guys doing what are you talking about? Our challenge is to protect our children, not to be a political lobbying group or to launch grenades when folks get to the root causes of why so many Americans don't trust the system anymore. That's agree that not all vaccines are equal, not all kids

require the same access to those vaccines because we're all different. Some kids are a high risk will want more vaccines. Give the mothers the choice. No one loves your child as much as you do. Even your pediatrician or more importantly, the American Association of pediatricers doesn't love your child as much as you do. We give you the authority to decide with your doctor, what's best for your child, and I will pay for it as the director of CMS per the president's instructions. There's going to be an access to all these vaccines. It's up to you to choose what you desire. Get them all if you want. Get just the ones we think are essential if you desire. The choice is yours. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to six
