[GASPS]

My 10 is not on. This is too much.

I'm still waiting for this. I'm not sure if I can get it. No, you're just a bit late. You're just a bit late. All right.

All right. They're just like a fish with a fish.

A lot of animals. They're just like a lion. Okay. That's great. More comfort. Craft and dynamic. All right. The passport.

All right. The passport is just a bit late. All right. Stay out there. Donald Trump is giving up. He was visibly shaken when he arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

He held an impromptu press conference where he said there will be no further negotiations with Iran until after the midterm elections.

He said that the war will magically resolve itself

after the midterm elections are over and that gas prices will magically go down to two dollars a gallon. Once the midterm elections are over, just you wait. He says that's going to happen.

It's right around the corner. Donald Trump held this impromptu press conference as noted on Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. He's on his way to the so-called Republican midterm convention that people are calling Trump a polusa.

But lots of people are saying it is a loser convention.

Magga Republicans do not even want to attend this event. Trump was asked questions about all the Magga Republicans and close races who don't want to show up at this Republican midterm convention. Donald Trump lost it and started screaming at the ABC reporter

who asked question, "You are fake news. You're fake news." But this press conference began when the

Cotari Air Force won appear to be broken down.

Yet again, they're appear to be a major equipment malfunction. You can see over here what was going on. They had the old Air Force won. The actual Air Force won was on standby. And then Donald Trump looking visibly shaken,

looking just completely out of it. He runs over to the press and he's like, "Look, there's an issue with the slide. We're just fixing it. Everything's okay.

It's all going to be all right. It's going to be about 15 minutes. Just watch for yourself over here. As there are more problems with Cotari Air Force won." Here, play this clip.

That was there at Joint Face Andres.

Looks like President Trump may be walking

to what microphone let's listen. "The slide over here. I don't think it's going to take the seat. They were doing a check on the slide. You know, on the emergency.

So I think it takes about 15 minutes. So we're heading over to Dallas." Then, while that was going on, images started surfacing from Jordan where the United States military is apparently

shuttling blackhawk helicopters and other military equipment that was destroyed by Iran's strikes last night, which sent calm claims. It didn't even hit our bases when we saw all of these strikes.

You can see these blackhawks right there and other military equipment being shuttled out of Jordan than Donald Trump during this impromptu press conferences. We're not even looking to do negotiations with Iran anymore.

Why would we even want to do that? We'll wait until after the midterms he says. Here, play this clip. "We're not looking for it to be honest with you, dear. Originally, I wanted to make a deal.

We're so far down the line. They have very little country left right now. So we're not looking for, yes. And the negotiation could possibly happen. But it's not something we're looking at.

This war will end immediately after our election. Thank you very much. Then a reporter says, "Well, we've seen a lot of attacks in the straightive for Moose recently.

What's going on?" And Donald Trump's like, that's not Iran. All of the attacks are coming from us. Iran's not shooting at us at all. The level of lies from this disgusting Trump regime

is just beyond belief. Just when you thought they couldn't lie anymore. Hey, Donald, we saw the strikes yesterday that Iran did on the Jordan military bases. Iran struck multiple tankers in the straightive for Moose yesterday.

Yes, the United States Navy did strike and destroy Iranian civil oil tankers. That is true. But Iran responded with force. What in the world is going on with? It's just so utterly embarrassing here play this clip.

There's a lot of attacks out there that have moved. Well, the attacks are made by us. We've knocked out nine of their ships. I would say that the attacks are caused by us. Yeah.

And you're going to see, you're going to see a lot more. We've taken out about nine of their tankers. Then Donald Trump says, "The war will end immediately after the election. Don't worry.

That's when the war will magically be over here. Play this clip."

If there are tankers, many of our guns, though.

Mr. President, stop. We're going to find out.

Mr. President, I think the war is going to end immediately after the election.

I think the war will end immediately after the election.

Because they can't hold out any longer." And then Donald Trump says also, the price of gas will tumble down to $2 a gallon or less after the midterms. It'll just do it on its own. He's not explaining why that's the case.

As he destroys our economy every day and makes things worse. As you know, the price of oil right now is over $101 a barrel. The price of diesel is over $6. The price of gas approaching $5. Here he is lying.

So you can hear him for yourself. Say it's going to tumble down. Play this clip. Sure, but right after the election, because they'd like to have it that way, but right after the election oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They're going to be tumbling down and we'll get him down.

I think for gasoline, we'll get him below $2 a gallon. But not until after the midterms.

I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterms.

And it's a price of several Republicans. A report of it says, "Hey, back to like Qatar Air Force One. What are they doing with the slide like? Is this plain broken? Listen to it Donald Trump says.

Let's play it." "Not just our country. We are factories being built all over the world right now. And it's very exciting to see." It's a present.

Do you know why they're checking the slide? Is there security? No, they would check it before. And they just wanted to make sure. So they've, I guess they've already put it up.

They want to make sure everything works perfectly. And then Donald Trump tells a reporter. This is an ABC reporter that the reason why Republicans are not coming to his midterms. The midterm convention is that there's not enough room. Is it just so crowded?

Where are you from? He goes to their port. Where are you from? You're from ABC fake news. Got it.

Your fake news. And just start yelling at the report. You're the worst of the worst he says. Here, let's play this clip. Until after the midterm.

I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterm.

If it's a present, several Republicans and competitive races are not coming to the convention. Do you understand why they're deciding not to come? Everybody that's got everybody's coming to the convention. Everybody wants to come. But we only want and the people that are coming.

By the way, we're going to be sold out tonight. Just say you understand who you with ABC news are ABC fake news. What are the worst you are the worst of all in my opinion? The reason that some people are not coming is because we don't have room for 500 politicians. We have room for the ones that have a close race.

If there's slightly behind or slightly ahead or tight. But we don't have room for people that are 35 points up. And they don't need to be that. We said say back in campaign. Every politician that we've wanted to be there is there.

Good. This is one of the easiest things I've added to my morning routine. And it's literally just a spoonful of honey. I've been using Monicaura Manuka honey.

And the first thing you notice is the taste.

It's rich, creamy, and it's unlike the clover honey that you typically find on grocery shelves. It's ethically produced in the remote forests of New Zealand. Where bees gather nectar from the Manuka tea tree. It has up to three times more antioxidants than clover honey and naturally contains MGO. A compound unique to Manuka honey.

Supports a healthy immune system helps maintain a high function and gut and supports sustained energy. I usually take a heap teaspoon in the morning. But you could add it to coffee, tea, yogurt, or smoothies. And every jar is third party tested for purity and MGO level. Now it's easier than ever to try Monicaura honey.

Head to monochora.com/mitis and use code-mitis to save up to 31%. Plus $75 worth of free gifts with the starter kit. Which comes with an MGO-850 plus Manuka honey jar. Five honey travel sticks. A wooden spoon, a guidebook, and an onboarding call with monochora's clinical nutritionist.

That's monochora.com/mitis and use-mitis. And E.I.D.A.S. to save up to 31%. Plus $75 worth of free gifts. That another reporter continues to look at this slide. And what's going on with Catari Air Force One.

And the reporters like, "Are you sure that plane is safe to fly?

It doesn't look like it's safe." And watch Donald Trump's response. Let's play this clip. The 35 points up and they don't need to be there. We said, "Save back in campaign.

Every politician that we've wanted to be there is there. Go ahead. President, are you sure this plane is safe to fly?" Yeah, I wouldn't be on it. What do you want?

It's a present. And then Donald Trump says, "You know what? I'm going to do much more than even a nuclear deal." So I'm not going to do any deals until after the midterms.

I don't think much better than nuclear.

He goes, "That's 99.9.

But there's going to be so many other things."

And the reporter's like, "What are you talking? What? Like what?" You'll see, just wait until after the midterms. Hope is right around the corner.

But do you see the fraud that they always do?

Right? I showed you a video earlier when Donald Trump met with the Wisconsin farmers. In 90 days he said on June 5. Things are going to be so much better. Just wait until you see.

And then on September 3rd, it was way worse on September 9th today. It's way worse. Remember what he was saying in March? Hope is right around the corner. Things are going to be better.

We're about to win the war. Just go back to a Trump did during his first term with COVID. Right? We're going to bend the curve before Easter. There's not going to be COVID.

And then right after that he said, "By the summer, it's all going to go away." And then when it was horrific, what did he do? He goes, "I give myself an A." And when it was an absolute disaster,

what do they do? He adds Dr. Fauci's fault. It's Biden's fault. That's the pattern with these contards. They destroy their the arsonist, then they blame.

But pay attention because we need to get out of this cycle. Here's Donald Trump for yourself. You can hear him say that it's going to get way better. Listen to what he says. You're playing this clip.

The whole world is in deep trouble. Are you still hoping for a nuclear deal? Secretary Wright said a nuclear deal might not be on the table anymore. Well, I'm doing much more than a nuclear deal. There's a lot more than nuclear.

We're going to have nuclear. That's 99.9. But there's going to be a lot of other things on the table that wouldn't have been on the table three months ago. I want to watch out.

We're not looking for it to be honest with you, Joe. Originally, I wanted to make a deal. We're so far down the line. They have very little country left right now. So we're not looking for it.

Yes, and negotiation could possibly happen. But it's not something we're looking at. This war will end immediately after our election. Thank you very much. Then a reporter says you said that oil and gas prices were going to come down.

But oil is back over a hundred dollars a barrel. How do you explain this? And Trump's like easy. Just say Iran nuclear. And then the American people love that they're paying more for guests.

No one wanted to be in this war. You're lying about this. And no one wanted to be in this war. You're lying about the nuclear threat. You claim you obliterated their nuclear capabilities last year.

During your first operation with Netanyahu. No one believes anything that you're saying. But here play this clip. Thanks for weeks that oil and gas prices are going to come down. Oil is now back above a hundred dollars a barrel.

How do you explain this to Americans who are wondering.

Well, I think it's going to be easy to explain to America.

Do you say we let Iran have a nuclear weapon and the answer is no.

And they're doing very poorly. Their country is in shambles, right? Then Donald Trump says that he had a great conversation with Putin that Putin wants to make a deal. He says, but the issue is Zelensky.

He said, Zelensky needs to come to the table and we're doing this again. Just, which is what he's always been doing. He says, Putin wants to have all of Ukraine for himself. That's what Putin wants to happen. And Zelensky doesn't want to do that deal, which is what Putin has been unable

to achieve thus far in the invasion of Ukraine. But this is what Trump said here play this clip. About your conversation with President Putin. We had a great conversation. He is wanting to make a deal.

And if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal, that'll be very nice. What is the hold on? And then Donald Trump said, you know, when it comes to Russia and Ukraine, when it's really about, it's just two people who hate each other. And Trump goes, I talked to people, okay?

I know a lot about deals. He goes, that's what I do. I do deals. No. You do bankruptcy.

You do destruction. You don't do deals. Here play this clip. The hold up. The hold up is two people that hate each other.

I think more than anything else is two people that hate each other.

I think because I speak to people that all I do is speak to people my whole life. I know about deals. And these are two people that are tired of fighting. By the way, well, all of that was going on.

Here's what it looked like.

You can see for yourself in key. Earlier today, as Russia struck hard in key. Watch this. I'll show you over here explosions. Then rocked a weapons depot in Sarmada in the Idlib countryside.

North Western Syria right here. At least 14 people were killed. We believe that count is going to increase to many more. And 11 people are very badly injured. But this is just what happened moments ago.

Let's play it.

Then we also learned.

Donald Trump says that Putin wants to make a deal.

This just happened a few hours ago.

A plain carrying Zelensky was almost hit by a drone while taking off from Maldova.

And route to Oslo, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Garstor said. His flight was almost hit by a drone.

When it was taking off from Maldova in assassination attempt by Russia by Putin.

Store told Norwegian broadcaster N.R.K. adding. This is the reality that he lives in.

Zelensky arrived in Oslo to attend the funeral of Norway's King Herald.

He fifth and later met Stor to discuss European air defense cooperation. And all the while Donald Trump just posted this video on his social media platform. I'll just show you a short portion of it. So after yesterday's massive attack by Iran on American military bases in Jordan. This is some weird promo video that a hype video that Donald Trump is posting play.

This clip.

And here's another clip from the video that Donald Trump just posted on his social media.
