<i>Now there's a cheeset.

<i>A new acquaintance</i> <i>were to get married.</i>

<i>Now there's a few people in the room</i> <i>that's better.</i> <i>I can't tell you one of the greatest tests.</i>

β€œ<i>If you want to have a cheeset, cheeset.</i>”

<i>Now there's a cheeset.</i> <i>Now there's a lot of tests.</i> <i>There's a number of tests.</i> <i>Coffee and Kasimong</i> <i>in the U.S. union</i> <i>for it.</i> <i>It's just a matter of time.</i>

Donnell Trump just had a full-on meltdown</i> <i>in the Oval Office</i> <i>during a press conference</i> <i>with Japan's Prime Minister</i> <i>Takayashi, Donald Trump</i> <i>was asked why he did not</i> <i>tell his allies</i> <i>about the war before attacking Iran</i> <i>and Donald Trump's</i> <i>like you know a thing</i> <i>or two</i> <i>about surprises, Japan.</i> <i>Why didn't you tell me</i> <i>about Pearl Harbor</i> <i>Now, Donald Trump is</i> <i>just ripping to shreds our alliances</i> <i>in real time, watch out uncomfortable</i> <i>prime Minister Takayashi</i> <i>is here. Let's play this clip.</i>

<i>We shall absolutely go there.</i> <i>Of course, no. Japan and U.S. have very good friends.</i> <i>But one question, why didn't you tell your allies</i> <i>in Europe and Asia</i> <i>like Japan</i> <i>about the war before attacking Iran?</i> <i>So, we are very confused about</i> <i>we Japanese people.</i> <i>Well, one thing you don't want to</i> <i>sign up too much, you know,</i> <i>when we go in, we went in very hard.</i> <i>And we didn't tell anybody</i> <i>about it</i> <i>because we wanted to surprise.</i>

<i>Who knows better about surprise than Japan?</i> <i>Why didn't you tell</i> <i>me about Pearl Harbor, okay?</i> <i>Right?</i> <i>He's asking me</i> <i>Do you believe in surprise</i> <i>I think much more so than us?</i> <i>And we had a surprise</i> <i>and we did.</i> <i>And because of that surprise,</i>

<i>we knocked out</i> <i>the first two days</i> <i>you're probably knocked out</i>

<i>50% of what we</i> <i>and much more than we anticipated</i> <i>and so if I go and tell everybody</i> <i>about it, there's no longer a surprise</i> <i>Right?</i> <i>Okay, one one.</i> <i>Next Donald Trump talks about how</i> <i>NATO doesn't want to help us</i> <i>defend the straight of Hormuz.</i> <i>He goes,</i> <i>but now they think I'm</i> <i>being nicer to them.</i>

<i>So now they want to help,</i> <i>but I don't want there help anymore.</i> <i>We don't need the help of them.</i> <i>He or play this clip.</i> <i>But we think of it.</i> <i>We don't use the straight.</i> <i>We'd defend the straight for everybody else.</i> <i>And then in the case of NATO,</i>

<i>they don't want to help us defend the straight.</i> <i>And then the ones that need it.</i> <i>But now they're getting much nicer</i> <i>because they're seeing my attitude.</i> <i>They're getting much nicer.</i> <i>But as far as our concern is too late,</i>

<i>you know, UK wants to send aircraft carriers down.</i> <i>And I said, I want the aircraft carriers before the war.</i> <i>I don't want them after the war's won.</i> <i>They want to send me aircraft carriers after the war's.</i> <i>There's practically nobody to shoot at him.</i>

<i>You know, the missile count is down.</i> <i>Maybe you could discuss it</i> <i>by about 90 something percent.</i> <i>The drones are way down,</i> <i>and the factories are being demolished.</i> <i>Maybe they serve.</i> <i>Missel of missiles being shattered down</i> <i>over 90 percent since the beginning.</i>

<i>One way of tax drones down 90 percent since the beginning,</i> <i>which is a reflection of the overwhelming firepower.</i>

<i>But you mentioned the most important part of this project.</i>

<i>They're defense and death database.</i> <i>If you can't make more of it in the future,</i> <i>then you have a limited supply.</i> <i>And so we're going after all of their defense contractors</i> <i>that make all of their exquisite weapons and ensuring</i>

<i>that even if they wanted to rebuild more launchers or more missiles,</i> <i>they couldn't do the future.</i> And that's a level of devastation for their military that they've never seen before. <i>So we have, and literally...</i> <i>more from Donald Trump here he says,</i>

β€œ<i>we expect Japan that you must step up immediately right now</i>”

<i>because we have that kind of relationship.</i> <i>What are you doing, Japan?</i> <i>As our editor-in-chief, Ron Philip Kowski says,</i> <i>this moron continues to incinerate alliances</i> <i>that were built by far better people than him over the past 80 years.</i>

<i>Let's play it.</i> <i>Don't jump out.</i> <i>Is he good or bad?</i> <i>Is he good or bad?</i> <i>It's not true.</i>

<i>It's not true.</i> <i>It looks like a mess.</i> <i>I'm sorry.</i> <i>It's a present</i> <i>you just mentioned, Japan.</i> <i>It's stepping up.</i>

<i>I'm kind of</i> <i>of this helpful</i> <i>to expect Japan in the future.</i> <i>Look, I expect Japan to step up</i> <i>because, you know, we have that kind of relationship,</i> <i>and we step up with Japan.</i>

<i>We have 45,000 soldiers in Japan.</i> <i>We have, we spend a lot of money on Japan,</i> <i>and so,</i> <i>and we've had that kind of relationship.</i> <i>So, I expect, I'm not surprised that</i>

<i>they would step up.</i> <i>We don't need much.</i> <i>We don't need anything.</i>

β€œ<i>I mean, honestly, we don't need anything</i>”

<i>from Japan or from anyone else,</i> <i>but I think it's appropriate that people step up.</i> <i>In the case of Japan,</i> <i>I hear they get more than 90% of their oil</i> <i>through the straight.</i>

<i>So, that's a great reason to step up.</i> <i>I mean, we've demolished that country</i>

<i>is close to the demolished.

<i>The only thing is the straight.</i> <i>It's very hard you could take two people</i> <i>and they could drop little bombs in the water</i> <i>and the whole thing's up.</i> <i>We don't want that to happen.</i>

<i>But, honestly, Japan,</i> <i>China, Europe, parts of Europe,</i> <i>get a lot of their oil through the shape.</i> <i>We get none, practically.</i> <i>We'll less than 1%, we don't have to be any percent.</i>

β€œ<i>We don't even, I think we do it just to be nice.</i>”

<i>But we think of it.</i> <i>We don't use the straight.</i> <i>We're defending the straight for everybody else.</i> <i>And then in the case of NATO,</i> <i>they don't want to help us defend the straight</i>

<i>and then the ones that need it.</i> <i>But now they're getting much nicer</i> <i>because they're seeing my attitude.</i> <i>They're getting much nicer.</i> <i>But it's, as far as our concern is too late.</i>

<i>By the way, just take a look at Prime Minister Takahashi's face right here.</i> <i>As Donald Trump is saying these things,</i> <i>she is utterly bewildered,</i> <i>I would say it mildly.</i> <i>Then Donald Trump says,</i>

<i>Of course, we're going to need to spend another $200 billion on this war.</i>

<i>He says it's a small price to pay,</i> <i>so that we're tippy-tippy-top.</i> <i>We want to be tippy-tippy-top here,</i> <i>play this clip.</i> <i>Fisticated rockets, every single one of them</i>

<i>wish at them with our equipment.</i> <i>All our equipment, it's amazing, actually.</i> <i>How good it is.</i> <i>We want to be sure,</i> <i>and it's a small price to pay,</i>

β€œ<i>to make sure that we stay tippy-top.</i>”

<i>This price is for you.</i> <i>So then naturally,</i> <i>the questions are, well,</i> <i>if you're asking for another $200 billion</i> <i>then clearly this war isn't going to end any time</i>

<i>soon and by the way,</i> <i>didn't the republicans say we didn't have $30 billion</i> <i>to ensure that people can continue on</i> <i>with their Obamacare plans</i> <i>and that we don't have any of this money.</i>

<i>And we had to take away $200 billion</i> <i>from rural hospitals,</i> <i>and now it's all going to this disastrous</i> <i>and unlawful war.</i> <i>But Trump's like everything was going great.</i>

<i>The economy was going great.</i> <i>Because things were so amazing,</i> <i>Trump says I decided to take an excursion.</i> <i>We all want this excursion in Iran and excursion.</i> <i>You mean a disastrous war,</i>

<i>which is now resulting in the death</i> <i>of many of our troops and crushing our economy.</i> <i>Here play this clip right here.</i> <i>Till done.</i> <i>Everything was going great.</i>

<i>The economy was great.</i> <i>Well prices were very low.</i> <i>Gasily was dropping to,</i> <i>I mean we had $1.99 $85.</i> <i>We had great everything.</i>

<i>And I saw always happening in Iran and I said,</i>

<i>I hate to make this excursion,</i> <i>but we're going to have to do it.</i> <i>And I actually thought the numbers would be worse.</i> <i>I thought that it would go more than it did.</i> <i>But we're doing its excursion.</i>

<i>And one is completed.</i> <i>We're going to have a much safer world</i> <i>and the Prime Minister agrees with me</i> <i>and that she considers it to be terrible.</i> <i>I think every country that's just about every country</i>

<i>does Iran is the serious threat to the world,</i> <i>to the Middle East and to the world,</i> <i>and everybody agrees with me.</i> <i>I think virtually every country agrees with me</i> <i>and that.</i>

<i>So I wanted to put out that fire,</i> <i>and I said, you know, but do that.</i> <i>Oh, prices would go up.</i> <i>The economy would go down a little bit.</i> <i>I feel it would be worse.</i>

<i>Much worse, actually.</i> <i>I thought there was a chance to be much worse.</i> <i>It's not bad.</i> <i>And it's going to be up with pretty soon.</i> <i>We've been Donald Trump says we've demolished Iran.</i>

β€œ<i>The only thing left is the straight of Hormuz,</i>”

<i>which we know is false.</i> <i>We know that even today, Iran hit an American F-35.</i> <i>We know that Iran just struck the Hifa energy plant.</i> <i>We know that Iran struck the liquified natural gas plant in Qatar the other day.</i> <i>And Rihad.</i>

<i>I mean, Iran's capabilities have actually been improving and their ability to strike targets</i> <i>has actually been improving.</i> <i>But here's Donald Trump lying. It could hear him lie for yourself here.</i> <i>You're playing this clip.</i> <i>The straight.</i>

<i>So that's a big reason to step up.</i> <i>I mean, we've demolished that country is close to demolished.</i> <i>The only thing is the straight.</i> <i>It's very hard you could take two people and make a drop of little bombs in the water.</i> <i>And the whole thing is up.</i>

<i>We don't want that to happen.</i> <i>And Donald Trump passes when asked another question on the straight of Hormuz.</i> <i>Let's play this clip.</i>

<i>To four billion dollars.</i>

<i>This is a question.</i> <i>It's a straight of Hormuz.</i> <i>That's a straight of Hormuz.</i> <i>Thank you.</i> <i>He's a president.</i>

<i>He's just mentioned to found.</i> <i>What about you coordinating all of these attacks with Netanyahu Donald?</i> <i>Have you talked to Netanyahu about attacking the oil and gas fields?</i> <i>And Donald Trump, I did.</i> <i>And we won't do that.</i>

<i>We all know that Donald Trump coordinated the South Pars attack in Iran with Netanyahu.</i> <i>We can play this clip right here.</i> <i>I don't blame him.</i> <i>He talks to Hormuz to Netanyahu about attacking the oil and gas fields.</i>

<i>Yeah, I did.

<i>I told him don't do that.</i> <i>And he's won't do that.</i>

β€œ<i>We didn't discuss, you know, we do.</i>”

<i>We're independent, we get along great.</i> <i>It's coordinated.</i> <i>But on occasion, he'll do something.</i> <i>And if I don't like it.</i> <i>And so we're not doing that.</i>

<i>Anymore.</i> <i>Next, Donald Trump is asked about Jerome Powell.</i> <i>And Donald Trump starts saying that Jerome Powell is under investigation</i> <i>because he's building the federal reserve building in it's too expensive for Donald Trump.</i> <i>It's too wasteful, he says.</i>

<i>You'll replay this clip.</i> <i>And the last one, if I could, the Fed Chairman told me yesterday</i> <i>that he plans to stay until the Fed Chairman is confirmed.</i> <i>He also plans to stay on the board until the investigation</i> <i>and the Fed will start at the start.</i>

<i>Well, he's not going to investigation because he's building a building.</i> <i>For hundreds of billions of dollars more than a supposed to cross.</i> <i>The building you see over there is under budget and a head of schedule.</i> <i>That's the ballroom.</i> <i>The ballroom is a much bigger building and it's a much more complex building</i>

<i>than what he's doing and it's at a fraction of the cause.</i> <i>Something is going on whether it's contractors.</i>

β€œ<i>That's what I do best in the world, I build, I build great buildings, I've always done it.</i>”

<i>And I build them under budget and a head of schedule.</i>

<i>They could have four billion, this is a renovation job.</i>

<i>Another question is asked which is if the war is almost over,</i> <i>so then why are you spending $200 billion?</i> <i>A reporter asks a similar question and drums like,</i> <i>we want to have vast amounts of ammunition,</i> <i>which we have right now,</i>

<i>but it's being taken down by you crane.</i> <i>So he finds a way to attack you crane here.</i> <i>How despicable is that, let's play this clip.</i> <i>The war is almost over.</i> <i>Why is the Pentagon going to act on this?</i>

<i>Warning additional $200 billion?</i> <i>Well, we're asking for a lot of reasons beyond even what we're talking about in Iran.</i> <i>This is a very volatile world and the military equipment</i> <i>of the sum of this weaponry is unthinkable.</i> <i>You don't even want to know about it.</i>

<i>Oh, you could end this thing in two seconds if you wanted to.</i> <i>But we are being very judicious.</i> <i>But we want to do, don't forget, Biden gave away.</i>

<i>I rebuilt the military in my first hand.</i>

<i>Biting gave away so stupidly to Afghanistan a lot.</i> <i>He didn't want to move it. It was too lazy, too stupid to move it.</i> <i>But it was a very small, it was a lot, but it was a very small relative to what I purchased and want to build.</i> <i>We want to have a good, we want to have a vast amounts of ammunition</i> <i>which we have right now, we have a lot of ammunition.</i>

<i>But it was taken down by giving so much to Ukraine.</i> <i>In Donald Trump says we can take out the island any time we want.</i> <i>I call it the island that sits there totally unprotected.</i> <i>The hell are you saying, play this clip?</i> <i>We can take out the island of any time we want.</i>

<i>I call it the little island that sits there so totally unprotected.</i> <i>We've taken out everything but the pipes.</i> <i>We left the pipes because to rebuild the pipes who take years</i> <i>for them to do but we are, I would say, we are substantially ahead of schedule.</i> Earlier today, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson was talking about removing sanctions

not just on Russian oil but apparently rewarding Iran and removing sanctions from Iran. Let's play this clip right here. We had a break the glass planned across the administration and at Treasury, we unsanctioned Russian oil.

We knew that there were about 130 million barrels on the water and we created supply that is beyond

the strength of our most. So we anticipated this. We knew that there could be a temporary and I want to emphasize temporary choke point there and there was 130 million barrels of floating storage. In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels. So depending on how you count it, that's 10 days to two weeks of supply that the Iranians had been pushing out that would have all gone to China.

In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days as we continue this campaign. Sly then heard from Pete Heggsith earlier in the day as well. We're Heggsith talked about we need $200 billion to kill the bad guys.

β€œYeah, to kill the bad guys. How despicable is this guy?”

You're playing this clip. Both what happened with Midnight Hammer and what happened with that as well as far $200 billion. I think that number could move obviously. It takes money to kill bad guys. So we're going back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we're properly funded for what's

Been done for what we may have to do in the future.

refilled and not just refilled, but above and beyond. We present in Trump as he said rebuilt the

β€œmilitary. His first term didn't think he'd use it as dynamically and his second buddy had.”

So thank goodness he did that. And investment like this is meant to say hey, we'll replace anything that was spent. And now that we're reviving our defense industrial

base and rebuilding the arsenal of freedom and cutting deals like our great deputy

secretary's here is doing. And then, you know, what as the Tennessee Holler says. So which

β€œcountry is the extremist theocracy again because throughout Pete Heggsith's entire press conference”

that was right before Donald Trump's press conference. Heggsith was like, maybe all mighty God continue to bless us in this war. May Jesus Christ and the churches support. I mean, it's like just like listen to this guy. Do the what are you doing? Stop invoking religion right now as you engage in this disastrous war. Frankly, whether you're religious or not in this administration

β€œis the most hateful and despicable regime, which we're really any religion it would violate”

its basic precepts and regardless of religion it violates basic humanity and dignity with these despicable clowns in Washington right now who have ripped away our health care, ripped ripped away your futures, ripped away a basic life sent people to die in Iran and then they go up there and they do this seriously. These are the worst pieces of trash imaginable here play this clip. And I say the same to every American who wants peace through strength. May Almighty God

continue to bless our troops in this fight. And again to the American people please pray for them every day on Bended Dee with your family in your schools, in your churches in the name of Jesus Christ. There you have it folks. Let me know what you think about this all.
