Well, there he goes again, Donald Trump spiraling at midnight, post after post on his social media platform like this. Iran's economy will have nothing left within two weeks, Scott Besant warns. We'll check back on that in two weeks. Are we 156 days past the time when Donald Trump and Besant said Iran's oil pipes are going to explode because the blockade and the strait and the strait of, straight of her moves by the United States is just going so perfect. Enough of these lies. Every sound, syllable utterance that is muttered from this regime is just an utter lie than Donald Trump post this late last night.

Trump's envoys tout real progress after marathon meetings at UN General Assembly. Hope and promise. More like fraud and tragedy. Really, Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner, two people who aren't appointed or confirmed, who weren't elected. Dumb and dumber, be clowning the United States. Where are they bringing hope and promise to? The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. As we reported yesterday, Iran struck three, perhaps even four tankers in the past 24 hours.

I showed all of the footage yesterday. from Saudi Arabia to the UAE to Syria, where you have all of these oil facilities that have blown up and are on fire. You have record high diesel and gas prices here in the United States. I'll do a video on this in the next 90 minutes or so, but you have the war escalating in Ukraine. Russia's Garen 4 and Garen 5 drones and cruise missiles continue to strike hard in various cities. throughout Ukraine. You have Ukraine striking back in Russia. You have absolute cataclysmic conditions in the war that Donald Trump promised hope. And what was the other word? And promise, 24 hours after Donald Trump was elected, he said he would bring peace to Ukraine. He would just say

the magic words to Putin and Zelensky and abracadabra there would be peace. He is such a fraud. and what mortgages, the 30-year fixed, the latest print is what, 7.5% or something, approaching 8% 30-year fixed mortgages, the treasury yields, the 30-year, the 10-year, approaching what, 5.6%, right? We're going to have three to four more interest rate hikes right now, and then yesterday the fraudulent regime does what fraudulent regimes do. they changed the freaking formula for how PCE inflation is actually categorized and computed. So earlier in the day, they were like, there's disinflation.

And look, we had so much better PCE inflation numbers than were expected. And people were like, whoa, did inflation go down? How is that possible? Diesel prices are surging. And really, the price of diesel has it. impact on everything. What are you talking about? They changed the freaking formula for calculating inflation to reduce it by 30 to 40 basis points. Everything the regime does is a lie. Then Donald Trump posted this genocidal war criminal statement that he made in the Oval Office yesterday. This is what

he was posting last night. President Trump is asked, how do you get a deal done with crazy people in Iran's regime. President Trump answers, maybe blow them up. The time for a decision is coming. Once again, proving Donald Trump is crazy. Donald Trump is a lunatic. That's how the whole world perceives Donald Trump and the United States right now. How do you deal with the crazy people? You and Netanyahu invaded their country, slaughtered little children, little girls at Manab El-Elemy. school, little children at the Lamarre Sports Hall. Every time you escalate, you kill new innocent families, whether it's at the wedding in Syrac or a family in Kesham. Everything you do is absolutely disastrous and you go, they're the crazy ones. They're the crazy ones. It's hard for you

to project any authority on who is or who is not crazy when you are the craziest person in most likely world history, but certainly recent world history. And then he posts the following. Team USA captain, thanks Trump after massive President's Cup comeback. He gets all the credit. By the way, do you know a lot of these articles are like state regime New York Post, state regime Fox News, state regime something called just the news, state regime newsmax. Donald Trump then posts, Trump met with roaring cheers. At University of Tennessee, Texas Longhorns college football game, you got booed, by the way. We showed the footage of you getting booed.

But, okay, even if you got applauded, you know what? But you didn't. The American people are suffering right now. They can't afford anything. The cost of living crisis is getting so much worse. You're covering up child sex trafficking rings with the Epstein files. And you're posting about getting applause at a football game. What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, wait, we know everything. You are a bankruptor. You are a sex predator. You are a felon. You are a lifelong piece of trash. You are a cancer. Your existence is a plague to this world. Many people are saying, then the audacity.

He posts Mark Levine. That's how Mark Levine talks. And this, so I'm like, he kept on posting last night this Mark Levin video. And I didn't want to click it. But I'm like, what the hell is he trying? Why does he keep posting Mark Levin? What's Levin going to say? And Mark, the part that Trump posts of this Mark Levine segment, Mark Levin's like,

everything's great. And you are all getting angry at the price of diesel, at the price of gas, the American people, you're whining that you have to pay more. What's wrong with you? This is what Trump is posting here. Play this clip. To create this tremendous society, this tremendous culture. That's right.

All of it is at stake right now. Over the price of a gallon of gasoline, of the price of a gallon of diesel fuel, it's just a dollar too much people are saying. And government is not. responding to me the way I wanted to respond. It should also be noted that throughout the day, Donald Trump was sleeping. Around 2 p.m., Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office to announce more fake deals.

Here he is with Dan Sullivan sleeping. Here he is with the Alaska governor sleeping. I can show you so much more of him sleeping. I don't want to read this. He posted things like this throughout the day. Inspector General's report just came out. Jerome Too Late Powell's renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, D.C. And then Donald Trump said, we have to look into him.

Let's arrest Jerome Powell. Buddy, bud. Jerome Powell was actually an interest rate dove, someone who is more likely than not, if the conditions allowed to cut interest rates. You brought in Kevin Warsh, known as an interest rate, talk, someone whose proclivity is to always raise interest rates, even more so than most people would, even in situations where you wouldn't think people would raise interest rates. So now everybody's expecting three to four more interest rate hikes over the next 12 months,

maybe 18 months, but three to four more interest rate hikes. when if you just left former President Biden's economy on autopilot and did nothing and had Jerome Powell in charge still, what likely would have happened if you did nothing, if you didn't do your tariffs against the world and your catastrophic war, we probably would have had three interest rate cuts. So the difference right now, because of you, rarely, if ever, does all of this happen because of catastrophic policies, a president. Usually the president is not directly responsible for economic calamity, although they sometimes make it much worse or contribute to it. Donald Trump's directly the cause. He is ground zero for all of this. And there's a 225 basis point swing of interest rate hikes now that's

likely going to happen as a result of Donald Trump's disastrous trade wars against the world and Donald Trump's catastrophic war in Iran. Oh, Donald, where's all that oil from Venezuela going, by the way? Didn't you say our strategic petroleum reserves were going to get filled up immediately? By the way, we debunk that crap right away. It's not even the right type of oil in Venezuela, and it'll take decades perhaps to be able to actually get that. that oil out and refine it if that illegal, horrific exploitation actually even goes through. It's a sour, dense, viscous type of oil that doesn't even go into our strategic petroleum reserve. But we just announced that we were going to draw down another 40 million barrels

from our strategic petroleum reserve. We'll probably be below 250 million barrels in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve soon. Oh, by the way, Scott Besson, how is that bond buyback scheme going. Is it going good because it looks like the treasury yields after your bond buyback scheme are going on a vertical line up and it looks like it backfired in your face. Are you an idiot? I think you really are, Besson, actually a freaking idiot. You think that you can do $6 billion in bond buybacks of the 30-year treasury yield notes and that's going to somehow what? That's going to bring the Treasury yield notes down. They're going to go, oh, my God, look at Besant.

There's a reason you were a loser your whole career when you went out on your own, and you had 90% redemptions on your failed fund when you were on your own, and you weren't trading under people who actually knew what the hell they were doing, Besant. You should be nowhere near the Treasury Department, yet alone running it. The same way Donald Trayton. Trump should be nowhere near the Oval Office, yet alone running the, I mean, running it into the ground. Same thing with all of these losers.

You saw the videos we did on Pete Hegeseth, who's now talking about what he created the, like, religious division in the military. Today, at Secretary Hegson's direction, the Department of War, is announcing the Office of Religious Affairs. Starting today, the Office of Religious Affairs will report directly to the Department of the the Secretary of War. No staff filters, no bureaucratic dilution, a direct line to the

secretary. What the hell are you even talking about? So yesterday he announced officially the purging of 20% of our admirals and generals. Our top military leaders, he said they're not worthy of their positions, so I'm getting

rid of them. And then he said I have learned from the book, I kid you not. I don't even want to show his clip right now, but you remember what said yesterday at his state of the force address. The book of Isaiah has told us all, send me to whatever. The United States government wants to send me to when it comes to war. Send me. That's what the book of Isaiah says. Book of Isaiah says send you to never ending wars. What the hell are you talking about? This is a regime of religious, fanatic, extremist,

doomsday type of people, end-of-day type folk who want to have just the total apocalyptic scenario that they drink. These are sick, vile, demonic individuals who hate, hate everything and they want to bring everybody in their hate. Donald Trump was sending emails like this throughout the night from his campaign trying to raise more money, more grift. I let you slip before and it cost us. Message from Trump, standing up for what you believe it is never easy.

Along the way, there will be challenges. You will stumble and fall. The MAGA movement is no different. Every single day, new battles arise. From the moment I wake at 5 a.m., the radical left does everything in their power to destroy me. You're just a loser, man. You're just a freaking loser.

Then he posts this. Did you block me? you block Trump? My messages are not getting through. Is this Ben confirmed? Last chance, did you block me? Meanwhile, last night on state regime media, Britt Youme had the following to say play this clip.

Overall, Brett, I would say that the Republicans don't have much going for them this cycle. The polls all suggest that. The mood of the country suggests that. They do have more money than the Democrats do, which could be spent wisely, one would imagine, to help them. But this 69% number that you show there on cost of living, I don't think much is going to change on cost of living over the next month. It could change a little. Things have turned around a bit in the straight of her moves. But I think this Republicans have to worry about is that opinions

have solidified and not in their favor. And that number suggests that that may be the case. But of course they wanted to change the topic and try to do some weird culture war stuff. So they bring in that guy, what's that guy, canter freedom. He's this like MAGA former NBA player who's now claiming just in order to try to mock transgender people. This is how they just try to bully people. He goes, I'm identifying as a woman and now I want to play in the WNBA. And I'm going to make a whole scene in order to, attack what, attack both transgender people and the women in the WMBA. I mean, this performative,

I, what the hell is this? Here, play this clip. Enez, and I love it too, you made a big life decision, you now identify as a biological female. And you just told me all fair that in April, you will find out now that you're a biological female, whether you will be, I guess, a player on the court alongside Asia and others. You know what? I cannot wait. I think, you know, I really would like to be get drafted by you know indiana fever i think me and kirsten clark will be the modern day of kobby and shag i mean listen they lose 50 million dollars every year right so their ticket sales will be off the roof i will bring so much attention at total league so i cannot wait that is maga for you that's maga for you and meanwhile the trump regime is now using our taxpayer dollars you saw all of the ads they're running out

They're now running pro-Iran war propaganda commercials on Fox, paid for by taxpayer dollars. The hell is even going on here. I'll show you what it looks like here. Play this clip. On the orders of the President of the United States, U.S. Central Command. This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States. He reminded the world, as he has time and time again, being an American means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation.

And we will kill you. We didn't start this one. But under President Trump, we are finishing it. Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their Ayatollah. To the great proud people of Iran, the hour of your freedom is at hand. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. And meanwhile, just look at these headlines right here.

Trump and Peter Navarro warn that Canada may interfere in the U.S. elections. Navarro warns Canada against election interference. But here's the other headline. Trump's latest appeal to Russia could outrage even his allies. Donald Trump not only is not going to be sanctioning Russia, Trump wants to do lots of business deals with Russia right now. And Trump continues to attack Canada yesterday. He said, Canada's the worst country ever.

They're the worst country. Again, elbows up, Canada. We stand in solidarity with you against this Trump regime. We want you to know that we stand with you against them, okay? just so you know they're horrific and they're traitors and they're treasonous to America and it's horrific the stuff that they're saying I just want you to know that you have allies here and you know that also Brazil briefed the French and German top government officials and intelligence agencies on the U.S. Russian election interference taking place right now.

It seems both the U.S. and Russia either individually or collectively our work we need to know this. It's not a shocker. It's obvious. I mean, I think they're saying it publicly, but Trump regime propping up Jayae Bolsonaro's kid who's running against Lula, the current president of Brazil, as Donald Trump tries to hoist more authoritarian in the Western Hemisphere, Trump puppet dictators, and he's doing that with Jair Bolsonaro's kid. Finally, I'll show you this. With everything going on, with Americans can't afford housing, all the struggles taking place, Marco Rubio did a Steve Jobs-style event regarding passports, and it was so utterly pathetic. Did you see this?

Here, play this clip. It feels substantial. And after putting this much thought into the book itself, we figured that the way it arrives at your home ought to matter, too. The presentation, how it gets there, should matter. So you remember this. I showed this to you earlier. Right? We're not doing that anymore.

For something as important and as dignified as the United States passport, it will arrive the way you would expect it to. This is what comes next. What are you even doing, man? What are you doing? That's your priority? Of all of the things, that's your priority right now. These people are so freaking dement.
