"Make your garden or by corn, start cooking the frillings to the best price.

From a low-tempo, robust gardener, better to take a look at the car as well.

"In the quality and the niedrish price, in the hand, in the market, all our projects and in the auction, in the auction, in the price of your own. "

Donald Trump has been crashing out all Sunday morning. He's still in moral law, vacationing on the taxpayer dime. Yesterday, he made an ultimatum telling Iran, if you don't go out of the straight of our moves in the next 48 hours, we are going to start bombing Iran's biggest energy infrastructure facilities. Then Iran immediately responded and said, "You do that. We will be bombing all the energy infrastructure of all of our Arab nation neighbors and their desalination facility. We will escalate this very, very quickly."

So, how is Donald Trump responded this morning? Here is what he is posting. He posted the following. Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the radical left, highly incompetent Democrat party. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J Trump, he is pretending that he has destroyed Iran while Iran's actually stronger than before this disastrous unlawful war started.

And then Donald Trump compares the Democratic party to Iran. He is absolutely despicable as he is crashing out this morning.

This individual needs to be impeached. He deserves to be behind bars. He is a despicable vile piece of trash.

And I don't know how else to describe what a demented sick individual he is speaking of which here's what he's been posting all morning.

Third term for Trump memes as a reward for stolen election. He's reposting memes like this. He's reposting this AI photo of modern day American history Forever remembered as the goat. This is another kind of photo that Donald Trump's been posting all morning. He also posts the following. Please do not retweet Nancy Pelosi admitting full responsibility for not calling the National Guard on January 6. Five years ago today would be a shame if this went viral on X. First of all, you're posting this on March 22nd.

And also of all of the things going on in this country. This is what your demented sick-o mind is posting. I mean it folks. If the 25th amendment means anything, it means it needs to be invoked immediately. But we know his cabinet is too cowardly. I'll show you what his cabinet has been saying this moment in just a moment. By the way, Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent, one of the most despicable appearances I've ever seen this morning. We know that the Magga Republicans in the House and Senate are too cowardly folks. But it's why the no kings protest that's coming up at the end of March

needs to be the biggest protest in the history of the United States because this despicable regime will forever be the biggest stain in real time America is being destroyed. Speaking of which, Donald Trump during his morning crash-up also posted the following. On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the radical Democrats who are only focused on protecting hard-lying criminals who have entered our country illegally are endangering the USA by holding back money.

That was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts and all, but watch no matter how great a job ICE does. The lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. They will do a fantastic job. The great-time home in is in charge, DJT, you're sending ICE to invade the airports. What a message, Donald. You're sending to all of the countries abroad as we approach the world cup, knowing that when they arrive at our airports what ICE is going to be there.

What is ICE going to do? And by the way, don't you think that there would need to be some training? Oh wait, ICE has never been trained in the first place

and they just kill and name and harm and terrorize people on the streets and now they're doing it in the airports. Fantastic job, Donald. You struck again. I mean, these people are the most Demented idiots ever on the Donald Trump post that this this morning as well. The Democrat running in Texas James Tolerico turns out to be a fraud exclamation point. It showed after the election when he beat low IQ candidate Jasmine Crocket that's his racist not so dog whistle that he refers to all black people as being low IQ. Donald Trump goes on to say no relation to David Crocket.

He's got six genders insults to Jesus only vegan food wears a mask in 2013 and his week in effective guy who we allowed to win prior to releasing the avalanche of information we had on him because as bad as Crocket was as a candidate this guy is worse.

I mean Donald Trump is terrified of this guy. I believe that any human being running against him sick

incompetent close to death or even a childhood win he may be the worst candidate I've ever seen.

Other than of course Gavin Newscomm who admitted that he suffers from mental ...

read a speech in his dumb but in saying the dumb comment referred to his audience and therefore

became in the eyes of American a total racist. I mean Donald Trump's the most demented individual imaginable and we know that Donald Trump is physically incognitive declining and deteriorated before our eyes this is what he's posted and also yesterday. Donald Trump said that he was a glad that Robert Mueller a decorated veteran and former FBI director died. Trump said good I'm glad he died. And then all this morning Donald Trump's been attacking Robert Mueller in post after post.

This is from this morning the lies of Robert Mueller and his criminal gang. I'll just show you a democratic congress member and veteran Jason Crowe has to post army ranger. He posts the following. This president is petty sick and vile man. Robert Mueller volunteered for Vietnam at the same time Trump avoided serving. His decades in military and public service to our nation represents everything that Donald Trump is not. Now I will share with you what went down this morning

when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has now become the main spokesperson for the war in Iran. Why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant? The Treasury Secretary being the main spokesperson for the war because no one in the Trump regime knows what the hell they're doing. So why not put this idiot out there as he spews the most vile garbage imaginable. So here is what he said this morning. He was on meet the press, Chris, and while Chris said could US troops go into Carg Island to secure it? Are we

sending troops into Iran in essence? We could. We could. We could. Look at that. Watch that arrogance. I said all options are on the table. Welker here play this clip. You bring up Carg Island. I want to ask you about your statement. You said it could become a US asset. What exactly does that mean? Could US troops go into Carg Island to secure it? Again, as I said, all options are on the table. Okay, so that's a possibility. All options are on the table. All right. Let me talk about

and then you go sometimes in this next clip I'm going to show you. He goes sometimes you have to

escalate to de-escalate. Yeah, war is peace. They were right. You have to escalate to de-eslate. Who is this idiot? And why is this idiot talking about the war? Why is this idiot on my TV? Why is this idiot have any power over anything? There's whole moronic regime needs to go here play this clip. Every day we are taking out their missiles, their missile systems, and the factories that build those missiles, and now are the General Kane Secretary Heggsets are leading a campaign to destroy

all the fortifications along the streets of Formos. Just to put a fine point on this though, is the President in the process of winding down this war or escalating. Again, they're not mutually exclusive. Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate. Okay, NBC News is reporting the President Trump is considering sending troops into Iran. Will the administration, you are from Territory,

Secretary Scott Bessent, he's asked, isn't the point of sanctions to prevent Iran from getting money?

So why are we now lifting the sanctions against Iran and Russia for their oil? Aren't they making money, isn't that bad? Isn't the whole point of sanctions to stop that? Oh, Kristen, you're missing the point. Bad framing, Kristen. Bad framing. You're a play this clip. So when we un-sanction this, rather than the oil going to China, it can go to Japan, it can go to Korea, it can go to Indonesia, it can go to Malaysia. They can go to Iran too.

I mean, isn't the point that the sanctions were in place to prevent Iran from getting any of the money? They will have access to some of that. Again, Kristen, you're missing the point. So please listen to me. They were getting it from China anyway. All right, let me talk more from Kristen Welch,

you're in Bessent. She says, so you're talking about 140 million barrels that you are removing

sanctions from of Iran. Is that enough to really even make a difference? But you're giving Iran $14 billion. Again, Kristen. Terrible framing. Terrible framing. You're doing terrible. What the hell are you talking about? Who are these psychos on our TV seriously? They were the country is run by the most demented, sick individuals. Look at what he says here. Let's play this clip. All right. Let me talk about the real world impact of this because you're talking about 140

million barrels of Iranian oil. And that's just a little bit more than what the world uses in one day. How much can that really change prices here? Again, first terrible framing. Terrible framing.

Well, how much can you change prices here? Let's talk about consumers. How much will it change prices here?

Just let me explain 140 million barrels that about 20 million barrels a day comes out of the

Gulf. About 5 million has been the repurposed by the Saudis by the UAE. So we're in a 15 deficit about 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes out. So we're at between a 10 and 14 million deficit on a daily basis.

If you think about 140 million barrels, that's between 10 days and two weeks ...

And folks, it's why having media literacy is more important than ever. Let me just give you two examples

right here. A story that we reported on yesterday. Russia is proposed in or has proposed staging a fake Victor Orban assassination attempt. He's the Putin puppet in Hungary who Donald Trump supports in order to boost Orban's reelection. Just look at the spread of how media covers this. On the left, you see overwhelming coverage in the center, a little bit of coverage. And on the right, very little coverage or bout the same as in it. But on the left, this is being reported,

but very little coverage anywhere else. Don't you think it's an important story? I don't know

that Russia is trying to help their puppets win reelection or win election by doing fake assassinations?

Hmm, there might be some more things to investigate there or how about this story right here. AOC paid a doctor known for ketamine treatment. $19,000 in campaign cash. New York Post. This is like the main story of the right wing today. It's like some made up New York Post, you know, BS story about AOC, some hit piece on her. And no one on the centers covering it, no one on the left covering it. But all the right wings covering the why? Because all the other

stories I've been sharing with you this morning, but how disastrous this war in Iran is. And we know that Murdoch and Mark Levin and that crew has been pushing this war against Iran. Right. So they need to change the subject. So what do they change this subject? Let's go after AOC today. With all of the problems going on in the United States with American suffering, can't afford anything. People are like literally dying right now. They don't have health care.

And we're in this disastrous war. Let's do an AOC hit piece. Right. It's why media

literacy is important. And you need to understand the right perspectives. And I need to get

an understanding of what's being purporting the right. What's being reported on the left? That's exactly why I partnered with Ground News for this episode. And in my morning videos, I use Ground News as my main research tool. I often get asked, what do you do to research? I use Ground News because they're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is an app in a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world.

And organizes them by story to show you how is the left center and right framing these stories differently. For every story, the color coded layout makes it easy to see the political bias of each source. I can filter for high-factuality sources and see which sources are independently owned or owned by a large media conglomerate with corporate interests. This lets you compare the reporting on the same issue in one place. So you can come to your own conclusions based on all the

facts on this article. For example, I showed you the spread. What was the AOC article? Who is reporting on who is reporting on the Victor or Mon article? And you can see right wing bias with their reporting on and what they're trying to hide. So I ground news even has a dedicated blind spot feed. That's a personal favorite of mine. It's what I showed you. Highlight stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle to help you burst through

the political echo chambers because I believe in ground news so much. Here's what we're going

to do in the Midas Touch Network. We're going to offer you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. It's 40% off. So just go click the link in the description or go to ground .News/MTN or scan the QR code up here. It's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered.

So if you want to support this channel and get a clearer understanding of the world,

try out ground news. Once again, you can go to ground.News/MTN or scan the QR code up here. Let's get back to this video as well. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on oil sanctions against Iran. He describes what we're doing in the United States as we are jujitsuing them around didn't even see it coming. We lift the sanctions off of their oil and that's a form of jujitsu that we're doing against them. Folks idiocracy couldn't write this in their script

without getting the laughed off. We're jujitsuing Iran by taking away their sanctions on oil while we're at a war with them to help them make more money. What are these idiots talking about? Let's play this clip. Talk about your announcement this past week. On Friday, the Treasury Department lifted sanctions on Iranian oil at stored on tankers. A move that would effectively allow Iran to get more than $14

billion of oil revenue. Why is the U.S. helping to fund a country that it's currently at war with? I would say that again, Kristen, why don't we have good facts here? That Iranian oil was always going to be sold to the Chinese. It was going to be sold at a discount. So which is better, Kristen, which is better? If oil prices spike to $150, and they were getting 70% of that, or oil prices below 100, it's better to have them where they are now. And to be clear,

we had always planned for this contingency. About 140 million barrels are out on the water.

In essence, we are jujitsuing the Iranians.

We have a much better line of sight to be clear at Treasury when this oil goes to if it goes to Indonesia. If it goes to Japan, if it goes to Korea, we have a much better line of sight and are able to block accounts that the oil goes into. When it goes into China, it completely gets recycled. So the fork to be clear that 14 billion number is closely overstated. More in this Kristen Walker interview right here. It's like an unfathomable interview. But I

guess anything is unfathomable when it comes to the depths of depravity and idiocracy of this Trump regime. Kristen Walker says so, are we going to raise taxes to fund this war? Wow, we have plenty. We have plenty. We have plenty. Then why are you all seeking a $200 billion

supplemental as well? And if we have plenty, we have plenty. Shouldn't we have plenty for health care?

Shouldn't we have plenty of education? Shouldn't we have plenty for housing? No. We have plenty. When it comes to what bombing civilian energy infrastructure in Iran, while our civilians here in the United States suffer, here play this clip right here. What the administration ever raised taxes in order to fund this war? Again, Kristen, they are terrible framing. I think that... But it's just a quiet, it's a simple question that's the law that people have. It's a ridiculous question.

Well, what can you answer it? Why would we do that? That we have plenty. We have a trillion dollars in this year's budget for the military. And even before the conflict started, it had said that you would like to further build out the military. So just raising taxes under consideration at all. You're saying you have plenty of money. Okay. It's got to show you. Some of these other idiots who did morning appearances,

you had UN ambassador Mike Walls, he was asked. So Donald Trump talks about blowing up the energy infrastructure in Iran. He's talking about what nuclear energy, what it's going to blow up everything. How's that going to look Walls here? Let's play this clip. And you... They do have a nuclear power plant, Bushire. It's actually their largest energy plant. It's a civilian site. It's actually not their largest energy plant. About one gigawatt.

They have larger ones that are gas fired outside of Tehran. Okay. But just a case of point. Okay. But in that clarification, the reason I'm asking you is when the President says he's going to bomb energy infrastructures. The million energy infrastructure is he going to bomb a nuclear

power plant or is that off the table? Well, I would never take anything off the table for the

President certainly not on national television. However, there are larger plants. There's one outside of Tehran. There are others outside of other cities that are gas fired. Thermal powered.

I think the important point here is to understand the IRGC, a declared terrorist organization,

not only by us, but our number of European countries controls a huge swath of Iran's critical infrastructure, their economy, and certainly many of their governing institutions. And so to the extent, we're degrading their military capability and their defense industrial base. All options should be on the table and the President has made that very clear. How do you... Enough of these magas. Let me show you what some of the Democrats were saying on the morning shows. Chris Murphy,

who I think's done a impeccable job showing critical leadership in this moment in the United

States, and it Democratic Senator Chris Murphy hears what he has to say. Let's play this clip. And you... They do have a nuclear power plant, Bushyer. It's actually their largest energy plant. It's a civilian site. It's actually not their largest energy plant. It's about one gigawatt. They have larger ones that are gas fired outside of Tehran. Okay. But just case of point. Okay. But in this case, in that clarification, the reason I'm asking you is when the President

says he's going to bomb energy infrastructure, civilian energy infrastructure, is he going to bomb a nuclear power plant or is that off the table? Well, I would never take anything off the table for the President certainly not on national television. However, there are larger plants. There's one outside of Tehran. There are others outside of other cities that are gas fired,

thermal, thermal powered. I think the important point here is to understand the IRGC, a declared

terrorist organization, not only by us, but our number of European countries controls a huge

swath of Iran's critical infrastructure, their economy, and certainly many of their governing

institutions. And so to the extent we're degrading, their military capability, and their defense industrial base, all options should be on the table and the President's made that very clear.

Our howdy.

because the war is underway. You have argued, and I'll put this quote. We need to end this war

right now. If the U.S. ends the war right now, as you're arguing for, could that leave Iran,

with a more extreme anti-American regime and even lead to a potentially larger conflict for the next administration? But the administration has already said their goal is not regime change. They are perfectly satisfied to leave in charge of Iran a regime that is going to be worse for American interests than the previous regime. What we know is that the minute we stop bombing, this new regime is going to start rebuilding their missile capacity and their drone capacity.

The estimates are that it'll only take them a handful of months to reconstitute that threat. So what did we get at the end of this war? We're going to waste billions of dollars. We're going to get dozens. If not hundreds of Americans killed, we're going to start new conflicts in the region. And when it's all said and done, a more provocative regime is going to be in charge with the same military capacities. This is non-sensical. This is what happens when you put

real estate developers and talk show hosts in charge of American national security.

Just to be very clear, you are a no on any funding request. I'm absolutely a no on any funding

request. I mean, every and more from Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, let's play this clip. Let's start with Iran. The Pentagon, as I was just discussing with the Treasury Secretary's planning to ask Congress for more than $200 billion in additional funding for the war. Most Democrats have vowed that they're not going to approve this funding request. But by opposing this request, are you risking potentially leaving American forces vulnerable?

I thought that was a really scary appearance by the Treasury Secretary. This administration has totally lost touch with reality. This war is spinning out of control. Prices are spiking for millions of Americans. There's a new war breaking out between Israel and Lebanon. Oil assets of our allies are continuing to be hit in the region. There's no end in sight. The Secretary of Treasury just said, we're going to escalate in order to

de-escalate. It's like they've never read a history book. That's exactly what our war leaders said

in the middle of Vietnam and the 20 years of mismanagement in Afghanistan. We need to end this war.

The only way you're going to get prices down here in the United States, the only way that you

are going to bring peace to the region is by ending this war. And it may be that the quickest way we can do that is by denying them the funding that they need to perpetuate this war which is increasingly out of control. Well, finally, I just want to know what's your plan with ice? What's ice going to do at the airports? I'm curious. Here's what Tom Homan just said on the morning shows. Let's play it. With respect, if you're doing this in 24 hours, how

well fought out could it possibly be? Again, ice has been an airport across the country for a long time. It's just expanding those things. Like it does it, how much of a plan doesn't mean to to garden exit to make sure no one comes through that exit. We're talking about security options. And these officers are well trained in security and the well-trained in identification. And we're going to do what we can to help TSA move those people to the line.
