Donald Trump was having a 1 a.m. meltdown as Iran responded with force after the United States struck a tanker that was trying to get past the U.S. blockade in the Persian Gulf. In addition, we saw massive escalation in Russia's war against Ukraine. Russia bombarding Kiev with ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and drones. And then we saw Ukraine responding with strikes on St. Petersburg and critical oil depots

throughout Russia. Donald Trump, throughout all of this, was making social media posts like this. 007 and it's some weird photo of him as like James Bond. That's what he was posting at 1 a.m. Donald Trump posted photos of himself with Whitney Houston from like the late 80s. Whitney Houston and future president Donald J. Trump. He then posted this image the greatest attraction and it's him giving a speech to his cult. He posted a weird image of Alfred E. Newman next to James Tolarico. And then they were also posting photos in the office, not sure when the photos were taken of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, Governor Abbott,

the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, all holding up photos of James Tala Rico like their little toddlers, no offense to little toddlers, but there's real, real serious things taking place around the world, and this is how Donald Trump is behaving, this spiraling out of control at 1 a.m. Here's what we know took place. So the U.S. struck a ship attempting to run the blockade, The IRGC responded by attacking a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. then Bomb Kashem Island, and then the IRGC attacked Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. Abraham Razé, an Iranian parliament leader, posted, Americans have shown that they understand the language of missiles,

better than the language of diplomats. Damn, the Navy and Aerospace Force kids of the IRGC are fired up. Here's more of what we learned. Iran launched massive ballistic and drone attacks striking the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, along with U.S. bases in Kuwait, Ali al-S. Am, Arafijan, and an oil tanker near Dubai in response to new U.S. strikes on Kashem Island and an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz per Tasneem, which is Iran's state media. Iran says it has officially abandoned its tit-for-tat retaliation. now striking back at least 1.5 times as hard for every U.S. attack with IRGC warning that, quote, disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading U.S. military. So previously, during this fake ceasefire, the U.S. would strike an Iranian target. The Iranians would strike a similar target, and then they would kind of go back and forth. Now Iran's saying, we're not going to play these games anymore.

If you keep on violating the ceasefire, we are going to unleash a force that is multiples of what you are expecting. And we're going to show that we're fine going back to war. That's what you want to do, Donald. If you want to go back to war, you know, Marco Rubio said, we're not at war anymore. Just think about Rubio telegraphing the weakness there by saying, the war is over. It's all done. and Iran's like, you are doing this fake ceasefire where you have Israel invading Lebanon, where you're out there striking our targets, and we're just not going to play this game anymore.

So we're going to strike air bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. We're going to go after tankers that we know have a high degree of sensitivity to the United States. One of the tankers that they just struck in the latest salvo of these open hostilities was a tanker belonging to an oil magnate who's very close to Donald Trump, and they targeted that specific tanker on purpose, knowing that the owner had a close relationship with Donald Trump. And then the United States sent com claims, oh, we were able to strike down all of the drones and ballistic missiles,

and none of them reached their targets. But we actually have video footage again, and we see what was actually going down. We see footage of a Patriot intercept. that was also failing just after launching during the Iranian attack. And the Patriot Interceptor, you'll see it's like going for the target that it actually goes and it strikes an area over here in Kuwait. I'll just show you what this video looks like.

Let's play it. Iran released video of its drone and ballistic missile strikes to show what it looked like. I'll show you a quick video that they released. Let's play it. And then I want to talk about what's going on in Kyiv right now. 23 civilians killed, at least that number. Sadly is likely going to rise. Remember Donald Trump promised he was going to end the war and Russia's war in Ukraine in less than 24 hours.

Of course, that didn't happen. Hundreds of civilians in Kiev have been injured. This has been one of the most devastating attacks on Kiev since the war began, if not the most devastating attacks. I'll show you this new video over here from last. Knights large-scale Russian drone and missile attack against Ukraine, which killed all of these people. Russia was using some of its hypersonic cruise missiles as well to strike civilian targets in Kiev. And while all of this very serious, serious stuff is happening, Donald Trump's out there posting reflecting pools and pictures of 007 and pictures with him and Whitney Houston.

I mean, this is some deranged and demented stuff right here. Let me just show you some video footage. So you can see firsthand what Keev looked like last night. Here, play this clip. More photos and more videos coming in from Keeve. I'll show you another portion of that. So you can see for yourself, let's play it. Now, I also want to show you what's going on in Russia over here,

where you can see St. Petersburg, which is over 500 miles from Ukraine. And you can see over here, we'll just throw the B roll up. Ukrainian one-way attack drones flying nearly unimpeded over St. Petersburg and they're striking these targets, these oil depots and other critical infrastructure that's in St. Petersburg and Russia show you another footage right here. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia started as well and here's I'll show you what it looks like over here. Let's just play this video footage so our viewers can see what's going on, so you can see what's going on.

Let's play it. Yeah, how it's it so you can see what it's going on? Now, I'll remind you that Marco Rubio said that there are no wars and everything's solved and everything's great, and this is what he said during his testimony, let's play it. It's billions of dollars of reconstruction costs just to get to where they were, Sigrubo, you keep telling us how we're winning this war. The president keeps saying, Well, the war is over now.

The war is not over. And yet the American people see how we're losing at the pump and with their costs. And yet this thing still hasn't been resolved. Every day he tweets out, oh, we've obliterated them. We've annihilated them. They're going to surrender. But yet we still find ourselves spending billions of dollars a week on war of God. You've gone way over.

It would be nice if we had hearings where people have to be held out. Thank you, Senator Booker, Senator Scott. Now, with all this, again, very, very serious. serious developments happening. We obviously need to have the top people, right, working in Homeland Security, working at the CIA, working at the DNI, working at critical intelligence apparatus within the government. Well, here's something that we learned yesterday. The Trump administration has appointed Elias Irizari, a convicted January 6 participant to a Pentagon counterterrorism role at the Defense Department requiring access to highly sensitive military

information. Irizari, who was 19 during the Capitol riot, pled guilty to a misdemeanor and served 14 days in jail before receiving a pardon for Donald Trump in 2025. So this guy now gets access to our highly classified information. You also have Bill Pulte, you know, from yesterday I reported on this, the director of the federal housing finance agency and chairman of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. He's a trust fund guy. He was put into this obscure agency position to be the director of federal housing finance agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie so he can go into people's mortgages and then help

launch prosecutions against Donald Trump's political enemies by saying, oh, you're not paying your you know, you misrepresented things on your mortgage statements. Well, now he's going to get access to all of our most top. secret and highly classified information. He has no experience in the intelligence community, no experience at all in, in the defense industry, and he's the type of guy who Donald Trump appointed. And here's what Senator Thune had to say about that when he was asked about Pulte. Let's play it.

Do you think that Bill Pulte has the experience to be the active DNI and same with you or Senator Tom? Senator Cotton, that the chairman of the intelligence committee is the kind of person you want leading the intelligence committee. I'll defer to the chairman on that. We was made aware of that appointment this morning. Obviously, it's something that if the administration decides to pursue a permanent appointment to that position, have to come through the Congress and have confirmation hearings and ultimately a vote here in the Senate. But Senator Cotton, you want to speak to that? We have four more weeks with Director Gabbard as the DNI, and I look forward to,

implementing last year's Intelligence Authorization Act with her to implement wide-ranging reforms that will shrink the DNI and take it back to its original intent to provide a mere coordinator or process role for the intelligence community. I have no observations on the matter. And then also yesterday the White House released this video, again, well all of this was going on, they posted this video on TikTok implying that the UFC arena might be a permanent staple now that they're going to keep this UFC arena in front of the White House. Why are they building this UFC arena?

Come on here. Play this clip. I took it down. And, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. It's going to have the big UFC fight on June 14th. And I'm looking at it and maybe we'll never, ever take it down. And then finally, as Reuters reported yesterday, the CIA, I think, smartly, does not want

to give any information. to the DNI. They don't want to give anything to the Office of Director of National Intelligence. They didn't trust Tulsi Gabbard. They sure is held don't trust Bill Pulte. So you have the CIA not giving its intelligence over to the Director of National Intelligence and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence because they believe it's basically compromised at this point. So that's what's going on in our government right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way, of course, as there are more developments happening. But that's what Trump's doing at 1 a.m.
