I wish I had better news to report to you folks out there, but Iranian state media says it has now no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb, all because Donald Trump threatened to wipe them off the face of the planet. Yeah, how's that for the art of the deal?
So, we've got the updates here. Trump, in response to these threats of nuclear holocaust, of course, is only talking about the golf course renovations he's working on. We laugh because we cannot cry. So, I'm going to read what they had to say here.
Iranian state media says it has now no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb to remove the military option for the occupation and partitioning of Iran from the table, arguing Iran must absolutely reach nuclear deterrents before current negotiations can be conducted from a correct position. Iran adds the acquisition is not only driven by negotiation leverage, but also by Trump's two recent nuclear threats against Iran, including his April warning that "a whole civilization will die tonight" and his May threat of "one big blow coming out of Iran." This is also among the most direct nuclear weapons advocacy published on Iranian state media to date.
If anyone is following the doomsday clock, January, we were 85 seconds to midnight. Midnight, of course, being it's all over. On January 27th, the doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest the clock has ever been to midnight in its history. I would argue it's starting to get a lot closer than 85 seconds at this point.
Now, the fact that Donald, I mean, by the way, what sort of art of the deal BS is this that Donald Trump thinks he can threaten a whole civilization, a civilization he can't possibly be in a war, a war that nobody asked for, and we're supposed to think, "Oh, Trump's just playing hardball." We're done with Trump's hardball.
So, of course, the upcoming US-Iran talks in Switzerland have now been completely canceled due to yesterday's attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. This follows Iran's IRGC declaration that US strikes violated Article 1 of the Islamabad memo of understanding and will result in a total halt of all processes. This is not a good thing.
Now, of course, Trump's been fighting this war on the weekends like a degenerate dad who only sees the kids, uh, you know, three weekends a month. So, here he is trying to, I don't know, have this not affect the stock market. I'm not sure that's going to be the case here.
I wanted to hear from, um, Margo Haberman here where she, she's got written this book, of course, that covers Trump's 34-year-old obsessed aid to, um, the situation room panic over the Epstein files. Here's what she has to say about Donald Trump and why he's delusional to think he's going to find a way out of this war.
"So, there's two, there's two things that we found as we were reporting this book. One is the degree to which he has become so invested in the idea that, uh, that things always work out for him. Uh, you know, and and that's been clear to us for some time, but it is truer than ever. And in fact, as he was getting ready to head to war, he said to an advisor who was very concerned about this, you know, it's going to be, I'm paraphrasing, but it's going to be okay. Uh, you know how I know? Because it always is."
And by the way, leave it to Trump to have such anecdotal confidence. It'll be okay because it always has been. Yeah, maybe for you. Empires always fall eventually, and that's exactly the speed in which he's leading the US down this dark path. A dark path that speeds up the fact that we are no longer top dog in the world when our greatest military can't defeat some $20,000 drones.
"Something to that effect. And he does believe that's true for him. Part of why he believes that's true for him is because as we describe it, he's been, you know, something of a walking moral hazard his whole life where he takes actions and somebody else holds the bag, whether it was the banks when he was running casinos that were in in dire peril, uh, it was his legal bills, which his political action committee ended up paying over the course of the last several years, uh, whether it was the fallout from what happened on January 6th, 2021, which members of his party, uh, faced, and he did to some extent in terms of investigations, uh, but again, uh, that he was able to, uh, survive those, uh, the indictments there. And now the immunity decision, uh, with Iran, the bill is the taxpayers. The The bill is service members for the US, but, uh, he doesn't seem to be responsive to domestic politics the way that he was in term one."
Yeah, because he's about to die. He's got a credit card, he doesn't want to pay it off, he just wants to max it out. That's what he's doing. Now, the only reason he ran for, uh, for election, for re-election, his second term here, is because he was going to go to jail or bankrupt. He He was He was a billionaire about to go broke, uh, because he's always kind of had this safety net of too big to fail until it's no longer too big to fail.
Now, Joe Kent, who of course retired in disgrace because, or I should say disgust, because he didn't want to be a part of a war he didn't believe in, says, "Guys, I'm starting to think killing the Ayatollah who issued a fatwa against developing a nuclear weapon that held since 2003 may have been a mistake." And of course, this being Joe. And Joe [snorts] Kent has He's continued He's continued to have this optimism where he says to Trump, "Look, you can just declare victory and leave." He's been, you know, trying to play Trump in the kid gloves where, you know, "Oh yeah, you know, you know, Trump, you you can just say you won. Everyone will believe you that you won. You can just leave. You don't have to go any further." And it's the idea of a guy who's got his ass kicked, or his excuse me, his ass kicked, uh, saying, "Look, cut your losses and get out." That's what we should be doing right now, even though, of course, there's no easy solution. Gas prices won't immediately go down as the strait will still be closed, but at At same time, it's only going to get worse. We're only going to have increased gas prices and also have tens of thousands of American troops killed because we do a ground invasion.
So, here we have. And speaking of mopping things up, here we have a senator, you know, completely delusional, claiming the war is over and says now we're just doing a mop-up operation. How could you be this delusional?
"Let's, uh, start with the war in Iran. The war, uh, now there has passed 120 days. Secretary Rubio testified that the war is over, yet overnight the US launched new strikes inside Iran. If the US is still bombing Iran 120 days into this conflict, how can the Trump administration credibly say the war is over?"
"Well, Ryan, look, I'm just going to stay focused on my goals have been all along, no nukes for Iran, no forever wars, bring the cost of gas and grocery down. The major war is over and they consider this is a almost just a mop-up operation."
All right, so that's bad audio, so let's just get out of it. A mop-up operation. This is a little bit more than a ShamWow. Are you kidding me right now? Look, and this is the problem is that people are blind to what's happening. Did you ever see this movie on Netflix, Don't Look Up? This Leo DiCaprio movie? It's fascinating. There's literally like an asteroid hitting on its way to Earth and everyone's like, "Just don't look at it. Just don't put your head in the sand." Ostrich behavior.
So, there So, this senator, this stooge here, is saying, "Oh, I'm focused on affordability." Do you understand how that's not going to happen as long as we're continuing to be in this war? A war that we're supposed to be in for a couple days. Listen, this might get tiring for people to hear when 6 or months from now we're still talking about this. Uh, but like, the reason they call it the escalation trap is if you do anything but completely retreat and wave the white flag, it's not going to go well for you.
Now, Iran, they keep saying, "Look, what do you want us to do? We need to make this so painful on the president and the United States and our economy in order that no one ever tries this again." So, imagine this. In the same thread where I, a foreign adversary, is talking about getting a nuclear weapon, we have people saying, "Can you blame them?" Who would have thought that in 2026 I'd be saying I can't blame them about Iran getting a nuke. Uh, you know, this is how people feel. They have every right to. They painted Russia and China as the two biggest nuclear threats to exist against the US, and yet here we are for decades, nobody is firing nukes. So again, this is an absolute disaster in the making, and until Congress fully steps in, maybe until we do the 25th Amendment, I guess we're going to continue to let Trump continue to just wreak havoc.
I've got Donald Trump's statement. It's absolutely insane. Again, the country we're at war with is threatening to build a nuclear weapon, and the only thing the president can say about that is how the golf course is turning out. I got to take a quick word from my sponsor. I'm coming back with that story next.

Well, we covered this this morning, this idea that the CIA is launching a coup in Iraq because they cannot have pro-Iranian political opposition ahead of the coming grand invasion into Iran. Look, maybe this will take place, maybe it won't, but there's a lot of movement happening in Iraq. And of course, it would be much easier to enter Iran from Iraq versus entering from the sea. Whether that's what we're planning or not, I personally just pray for the troops out there. They didn't sign up for this. Who the hell would ever want to be a part of a military that is just so easily and quickly ready to send their own people to the meat grinder? They like Trump wouldn't even call this a war. It's just an operation. Okay, it's been going on for a quarter of the year now. Meanwhile, we're literally just reporting Fox News from the state fair that literally nobody's attending.
So, again, I'll share this clip for you in a second, but let's go to Donald Trump. I know, this is insanely painful on your eyes, but this is I'm not going to read the whole thing. Trump said this: "I just returned from a tour of various statues, monuments, fountains, and most importantly, an old and run-down golf course located throughout Washington, D.C., our nation's capital. Almost all of the statues, monuments, and fountains have been completely renovated and restored and are in, after suffering years of graffiti, abuse, and vandalism, perfect shape. They are truly beautiful, even nicer than the day they were built. The reflecting pool is now in full use after suffering great damage from criminal radical left vandals, people that truly hate our country. They cut the lower surface of a very expensive and strong waterproof padding in the color of American flag blue and put their hands underneath the surface and ripped it. Likewise, they cut and butchered a 350-ft long strip with many 1- and 2-ft individual cuts, creating great damage to this beautiful piece of art that was last week 100% free of leaks and any of the other problems it has had since its building in 1922. It never worked properly until last week, and right after July 4th, when we will drain the water to treat the damage caused by these animals, it will again be in perfect shape. In the meantime, it is working well. The criminally made algae is gone, and the grass, which was destroyed, is being replaced shortly. Imagine that. Criminally, uh, What [laughter] do you Criminal algae? I mean, I couldn't make up a satirical post that is as humiliating as what is coming out of the words of our president."
Yesterday, we reported that Donald Trump has a little fling with his 34-year-old assistant, and he just word vomits to her, and she types this all out, and this is what we get. A man that is walking us into a war that could quite literally end humanity. Now, I'm not here to sell anyone on fear. This is just the escalation that we see. The reason why we were a part of a, I don't know, community that was trying to, uh, denuclearize is because one madman in one country could decide to end it for everybody. Little did we know that madman might end up coming from the United States. We are no longer in a position, and never will be in a position of moral superiority, where we can tell other countries, "Trust us, bro. We are here to help." We've proven that that's not the case, because we've proven, sadly, in our own society, we could elect a reality star billionaire who's probably got dementia and narcissism. Combine that up with some vandalism happening, uh, with the algae in the reflecting pool or whatever nonsense he wants to talk about, and we're not even taking the proper measures to stop ourselves from a war we can't seemingly get out of.
We've got real estate bros that are doing the negotiating. The Donald Trump's son-in-law supposed to have our best interest, a guy that has become a billionaire thanks to the Trump presidency. It I mean, this couldn't be going worse faster than it is now.
Coming up next, I have a story about rare earth minerals where we've got Donald Trump and we've got, uh, what's his name? Ludnic? Both making their sons and daughters billions of dollars through. I mean, you you can't even call it nepotism. It's it's pure it's it's pure, I guess they call it kleptocracy. Uh, and this story's going to blow your mind. But again, it's a lot of content coming your way, and this is why they get away with it because they're making us drink water out of a firehose. Uh, but when the dust settles, if the dust settles in all of this, I want to help elect, uh, folks into office that are going to make every single person pay the price. Imagine coming back to my channel in a couple years and we're covering the perp walks that that these criminals are doing when we put them away because they sold us out to the highest bidder. Wouldn't that be nice? How's that for a doomsday clock, right? A clock where we see how quickly Jared Kushner's going to go to jail, just like his dad.
All right, that's it for me. We'll be back with that crazy, uh, rare mineral corruption story coming next.
