Gavin Newsom just dropped out of the presidential race. President D.J.T. Do you think this guy has dementia? Then Donald Trump posts the following. This is the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, calling out every single member of Barack Obama's national security syndicate one by one, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and Susan Rice. Donald, you seem to not be doing all that well right now as your poll numbers are collapsing, as you're crashing the economy. You believe that California Governor Gavin Newsom is running for president. Hello, Earth to Donald. Are you there, big guy? Or I should say, little guy, are you there? And then you're talking about Obama's national security team. Donald Trump is truly demented. Then he reposts the following as well. The world has peace because he turned his head. This, as the United States is on the eve of war with Iran as a result of Donald Trump and his threats to now invade Iran. You've got war spreading across the world right now. Russia continues to attack Ukraine more than ever You still have significant significant atrocities being committed in Palestine in Gaza by Israeli forces there But I guess for Donald Trump it's world peace is here. Then they said Donald Trump goes, they tried to smear him. They tried to spy on him. They tried to frame him. They tried to deplat for him. They tried to bankrupt him. They tried to assassinate him. Well, by the way, but wasn't it a Trump supporter who was at Mar-a- Lago. The same way was a Trump supporter in Butler, but wasn't there a Trump supporter at Mar-a-Lago the other day with that shotgun and they were ultra MAGA. And he said, and ultimately he was telling his friends that he was obsessed with the Trump coverup of the child sex trafficking ring. Not to mention Donald Trump continues to post these AI videos of himself pretending to be a hockey player, punching the Canadian hockey players in the face. This as the American woman's gold winning hockey team has canceled their visit to the White House after Donald Trump mocked and demeaned the gold winning women's hockey team. So despicable, so disgraceful with the men's hockey team. A moment that should have been actually celebrating the men's hockey team winning gold, right? I mean, that's a big deal accomplishment. You had Kash Patel, who's covering up the pedo ring with Donald Trump chugging beers, and then Donald Trump going on speakerphone mocking the women's hockey team. Again, just disgraceful behavior. And then the men's hockey team laughed at it as well. Just a horrible way to treat anybody, a horrible way to treat women, a horrible way to treat the women's hockey team. And then Donald Trump posting videos of himself punching Canadian hockey players in the face. Then after news has been reported that Donald Trump's chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Cain, has been telling people that none of our allies want to provide any help at all. Everybody's abandoned the United States regarding Donald Trump's attempt to go to war with Iran and that we don't have the resources. We don't have the capabilities. Donald Trump then posts this. This is demented. This is post, post, post, post, post, post, post, post. Donald Trump posts numerous stories from the fake news media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Cain, sometimes referred to as raisin, is against us going to war with Iran. The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone and is 100% incorrect. General Cain, like all of us, would like to not see war. But if a decision is made on going against Iran at a military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won. He knows Iran well and that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian nuclear development. Pause. Didn't you say that totally obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities, but now we need to obliterate something that was totally obliterated. Didn't you promise the protesters in Iran in early January that you were going to help them if they went out and protested, but now 30,000 plus protesters were massacred by the Ayatollah and we didn't even have military capabilities to help those protesters out because our military capabilities were in the Caribbean off the coast of the Venezuela where you invaded Venezuela, propped up a Maduro stooge and Delcy Rodriguez, steal their oil, sell it to your right-wing oligarch buds, take the money, stick it in a Qatari bank account for yourself, create a board of peace, which is only joined by authoritarian regimes. Then you give $10 billion of American taxpayer dollars to the board of peace, which is connected to you. And so you basically stole $10 billion to give yourself that amount of money, you despicable, vile thing, you. Anyway, Donald Trump goes on to say in this, it is a development no longer, but rather was blown to smithereens by our great B-2 bombers. Raisin Cain is a great fighter and represents the most powerful military anywhere in the world. He has not spoken of not doing Iran or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about He only knows one thing how to win And if he is told to do so he will be leading the pack Everything that has been written about a potential war with Iran has been written incorrectly and purposely. So I am the one that makes decisions. I would rather have a deal than not. But if we don't make a deal, it will be a very bad day for that country. And very sadly, it's people because they are great and wonderful. And something like this should never happen to them. You caused 30,000 of them to be massacred. The blood is on your hands, not to mention the millions of people you killed from demolishing USAID. The blood is on your hands, Donald. It's 2026.

FedEx suing the United States to get a full refund after the Supreme Court struck down the IEPA tariffs. FedEx sues the United States to get the full refunds after the Supreme Court finds that Donald Trump violated the law right there. And our markets were a-tumbling today. Horrible, horrible, horrible. The stock market was down significantly. The Dow, you know, the Dow, the Dow is 50,000. No, it's at 48,000 now, down nearly 1,000 points. The S&P was down over a percentage point. And the NASDAQ was down 1% as well. And it seems, folks, like it's just going to get worse and worse as Donald Trump continues to impose tariffs against the rest of the world. But you know who's thriving right now? The head of Binance. Remember the guy who Donald Trump pardoned? Remember that guy? About $1.7 billion flowed from two accounts at Binance, whose founder was pardoned by Trump to Iranian entities with links to terrorist groups, a possible violation of global sanctions, investigators discovered. But Mike Lee MAGA Republican senator posted a photo of cartel hitmen wearing masks in the Guadalajara region Mexico in the Jalisco area over there after the El Mencho the leader of the biggest cartel there was killed by Mexican special forces and the U.S. also claimed credit for it. So Mike Lee's point is cartel hit men wear masks. Leftists aren't complaining. So you're comparing ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo to cartel hit men. Probably an accurate comparison. But yeah, I think that both should not be wearing masks. How about that? Also, Prime Minister Carney traveling to India, Australia, and Japan this week in his latest effort to cultivate trade ties as he seeks to wean Canada off its economic dependency. With the United States, Fikaru Sfazi writes, the BBC reports linking a trans-Atlantic partnership with a trans-Pacific partnership. You know the game Connect the Dots? Yeah, the U.S. is being connected out of those dots, isolated, never weaker because of Donald Trump and his despicable regime. But J.D. Vance says there's a lot of great factories being built, a lot of great factories all over. They're popping up. We're not sure where they are, but there's factories everywhere. According to these liars, you can't lie. Y'all are covering up a child sex trafficking ring. Okay. Y'all lie about every damn thing. But okay, J.D., Let's hear what you got to say, JD. Okay, JD, play this glimpse. Of reshoring manufacturing of all these great factories that are being built. But when they turn on and you're hiring thousands of American worker per factory, that's when the real Trump boom, I think, starts. I think he's going to talk about regulatory change. And then Steve Whitcoff, Donald Trump's envoy to every country with zero diplomatic experience. He's out there saying Putin's a great guy. Putin's the kind of guy who keeps his word, everybody. That's what they're saying. So hopefully you'll be hearing some good news in the coming weeks. Well, a lot of this does boil down to Vladimir Putin. And I know you've dealt directly with him. So first of all, what is that like? And how do you, with this position, go into dealing with some of these adversarial people? He's never been anything other than straight with me. And I say that and I get attacked. But that's an accurate statement. He's told me that this is what his red lines are. You know, Lara, I got attacked for going to meet him eight times. How would you make a deal with someone on the other side unless you knew where the other person was coming from? I needed to understand what his motivations were, his goals and so forth. And I actually think that a lot of those meetings now are becoming very relevant. We understand where they are. And I don't think the Ukrainians disagree with us in our assessments. So I think those meetings were important. And hopefully we're going to consummate this whole thing. Anyway, so despicable. There you have it, folks. Hit subscribe.
