Transcript of Trump’s 9/11 Speech Goes Sideways...

Donald Trump's 9/11 speech at the Pentagon earlier today went sideways. Well, Donald Trump's face went sideways. He fell asleep during the ceremony. His face was drooping to the side. Just take a look at what he looked like. Then when he gave his speech, he connected 9/11 to the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. And he kept on saying, basically, because of 9/11, this is why we need victory in Iran and we We need to escalate the war. It was absolutely horrific. Then Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, we're not gonna finish, we're not gonna stop until we finish the job in Iran, and we are going to continue until Judgment Day. Let me just show you what went down. First, let me just show you this quick video of Donald Trump sleeping. I could show you minutes of it, but I'm just gonna show you like 10 seconds or so so you can see for yourself what this looked like. Here, play this clip. Peace in the heart of war. Now contrast this to how former President Biden looked when he was in New York City today. Then take a look at what Donald Trump actually said during the speech at the Pentagon, where he said, we salute the service members working right now to ensure the world's number one sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran, never have a nuclear weapon.

You're connecting your catastrophic war in Iran, and Iran had nothing to do with 9/11. You know who did have something to do with 9/11? Saudi Arabia. And this is what you're saying at the Pentagon ceremony for 9/11? You, you have to make it about yourself and about warmongering? It's so sickening to me. Here, play this clip.

And we salute the service members working right now to ensure the world's number one sponsor of terror The Islamic Republic of Iran will never, ever have a nuclear weapon.

And then Donald Trump continues and says, we will never, ever forget. That's why we fight today. We don't have a choice. No, this was a war of choice. You literally had a choice. You have a choice not to engage in a catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran where you slaughter little girls in Manab and Lomerd. And you blew up a wedding recently in Sirach County, and you've destroyed the global economy. You've destroyed the US economy. So yes, this was a war of choice we shouldn't have been involved in. And stop linking it to 9/11. Stop it. It's just ridiculous. It's beyond insensitive. It's demeaning. And do you think we're all stupid? Well, I guess after what you were doing at the Republican National Convention where you said, if you vote Republican, I promise you this time I'm not lying like every other time. I'll give you $5,000 if you vote for me anyway. Here he says, we will never forget. That's why we need victory in the war. The hell?

We will never, ever forget. That's why we fight today. We don't have a choice. There can only be victory.

Then Pete Hegseth spoke and he said, we control the strait. We will finish this. Not only do we not control the Strait of Hormuz, you know who controls the Bab el-Mandeb Strait? Iran's allies, the Houthis, who have been able to take control of over 3,000 kilometers of western Yemen in the past 24 hours alone. Anyway, here's what Hegseth has to say here. Play this clip.

And we are ensuring that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The economic pressure tightens every day. We control the strait. We will finish this fight.

And then let me share with you what took place in Manhattan, the 9/11 ceremony that Donald Trump did not want to show up to because Donald Trump knew that, well, he wasn't able to give a speech about himself, and he knew there were a lot of families 9/11 victims who are absolutely livid that Donald Trump continues to cover up for the Saudi regime, the monarchy, that Donald Trump has put his arm around the Saudi monarchy, has protected all of the documents and has not released what actually went down and additional information. And we know a lot of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. I want you to listen to what Terry Strada said about her husband, Tom Strada, who was killed tragically in 9/11. And you have J.D. Vance at this Manhattan event at 9/11. And Terry Strada calls out all past administrations and this administration, looking at J.D. Vance for helping to cover up more about the Saudi government's role in all of this. Here, play this clip.

And my husband, Tom Strada, you are missed more with each year that passes. But how can it be 25 years and still we have no justice for the role that Saudi Arabia played in your murder? Yes, we finally made it into a court and have proved that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia fomented a rancid culture of anti-American terrorism around the globe and then sent its agents to support the radical Islamist hijackers so they could attack you and all of our loved ones. But for 25 years, administration after administration, including leaders in front of us here today, chose to protect the Saudis instead of standing with the 9/11 families. They withheld evidence. They vetoed JASTA. They broke promises, both public and private. It has been one betrayal after another. President Trump can still change that. Tell the Saudis to stop lying. Tell them that if they want to be friends with the USA, they cannot continue to deny all of this, all of the pain, all of the destruction that we have all been suffering through. Vice President Pence, thank you for being here today.

Thank you.

Please carry that message back. Stand with the families. Stand with the survivors. Stand with Americans. As my husband Tom would have said, that is always the right thing to do. God bless all of us. God bless America.

And I'll do— I want to show you this as well. New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, always a class act. After Rudy Giuliani Has been working to say all these horrible things about Mamdani and saying Mamdani shouldn't be at the 9/11 ceremony, and it's an insult to the 9/11 victims and their families that the New York City mayor show up. Mamdani, Mayor Mamdani, still shook Giuliani's hand. And just look, when Mamdani was standing right there, you could see Giuliani shook his hand. And after all of that, you just see how phony—

Yeah.

Giuliani and all these MAGA people are here. Play this clip.

We want to look at some of the arrivals there. We're seeing Mayor Zohran Mamdani with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. This is really an extraordinary moment.

Here's that photo of Biden and Dr. Jill Biden and George W. Bush. You see the photo right there, former first lady over there. Back to what Hegseth was saying. Hegseth was saying, our warrior— our warriors have fought an Islamic theocracy that wished us death for nearly half a century. that cheered on 9/11. Again, they continue to try to connect their catastrophic war in Iran with 9/11. It has nothing to do with anything. It has nothing to do with anything. And this is what they're continuing to do. Play this clip.

Over the past 6 months, we have laid waste to the world's most prolific state sponsor of terrorism. Our warriors have fought an Islamic theocracy that has wished us death for nearly half a A century that cheered on 9/11.

And then Hegseth talks about Judgment Day. Here, play this clip.

You see, on that day, many Americans were ignorant of the Islamist threat that we faced. But 25 years ago, at this very hour, it was no more. Because history was not over. It's never over. The struggle against evil continued, and it continues now. It will continue Until Judgment Day.

Seriously? Judgment Day? It's more important than ever right now that we have an accurate media diet, that we can understand what's actually being reported, and we could report in an objective way about these facts, because these are not normal political times. I mean, take a look at this article right here. This is an article from this morning. U.S. slaps new sanctions on networks aiding Iran's proxies in the Middle East. You take a look at how this is being covered. This is being covered mostly by right-wing news, very little coverage on the left and the center. Why? Because we all know that when it comes to Treasury Secretary Bessent, it is all absolute BS. Bessent said 3 weeks ago, economic D-Day, he would go after any country that provided economic assistance to Iran. And then China said, we're going to continue to provide economic assistance to Iran. Russia said, we're going to provide economic assistance and we're going to enhance civilian nuclear capabilities of Iran. Pakistan said, we're going to continue— all the BRICS nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization nations said, we're going to continue to help Iran. And so what does Bessett do? We're going to sanction the birds that fly over Iran.

We're going to say— it's like, what do you— And then Bessett's like, I'm the house now. You want to bet against me? Hey, Besant, you've been a loser your whole damn life since you went into your own private fund where there were 90% redemptions. The bond market, the equities market, everybody thinks that you are a bloviating idiot. And you lived in Barbie's Malibu dream house in Charleston, South Carolina. You painted— you lived in a pink replica of Barbie's house. I mean, We, we, no one takes you seriously. You're a clown. But that's why on the right wing, they were covering this as though, look at what he's doing. And everybody else is like, okay, we know this is BS. By the way, that's why I get a lot of news from Ground News. It's a subscriber-funded app and news site. Every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and they organize them by story and then show you what the right is reporting, what the center is reporting, what the left is reporting. It's a game changer for me. It's why I partner with them on these videos I do in the morning, because we need to get our news from reliable sources.

They tell you, did a media conglomerate report on this or was it an independent media source? How's the right reporting on it? How's the left reporting on it? I especially like their Blindspot feed that I just showed you. I believe in Ground News so much, we're gonna offer you the same plan that I use and get a 40% off the plan that I use.

Treasury Secretary Bessent said the following. On Iran. This is what he was saying at the convention. I mean, this guy is such a loser. Here, play this clip.

You create, you create the wave and you create the pressure. And I can tell you what we're seeing with Iran now is a cornered and wounded animal. And, you know, it's the— it's kind of like your open, Steve, where it says, you know, it's the last gasp of a dying regime.

More from Treasury Secretary Bessin. who then calls the Iranians losers. He's like, they're just a bunch of losers, like sitting around saying, yeah, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. Here, play this clip.

The Iranians get out zero. So, you know, over a 2-week period, the score, $140 billion to zero. So if they want to say that they have controlled the strait, it's like, for those of us who are old enough to remember the He-Man Women Haters Club, The Little Rascals. They're just a bunch of losers, like, sitting around saying, yeah, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. I mean, they're comical to me. Like, and then—

Except, Bessent, you're referring to yourself.

Okay?

Iran says the things and they've done those things. You've said, I'm going to do economic D-Day, and then you do not do economic D-Day. So you're actually referring to yourself. And you're saying this now when in the past 24 hours, The Iranian-allied Houthis just basically took over all of Yemen, where Iran has been able to strike the US bases in the region, you know, in the past week. And we've seen yet more damage done to the US base in Jordan. I mean, you have Iran's foreign minister, Araghchi, posting the following: The US Treasury Secretary has been gleefully boasting about wanting to impoverish Iranians and collapse our economy. Instead, he stands powerless and exposed as the world loses belief in the US financial system. Meltdown over cost of funding US debt is only beginning. And what Foreign Minister Araghchi from Iran posts is just what the United States 30-year government Treasury yields are— over 5.35%. These are record highs. Treasury yields for the 30-year, the 20-year, the 10-year Treasury yields are now hitting record highs. Diesel's over $6 a gallon, record high. The price of gas hitting record highs right now. You have our Navy— the acting Navy Secretary, Hunkow, um, admitted that, quote, Iran blew the hell out of Bahrain, is what he said.

And Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi says, we appreciate the candor of acting Navy Secretary Hunkow. Our powerful armed forces did indeed blow the hell out of the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. By the way, it's why I was showing everybody the satellite photos in real time when it was actually going down, and the Trump regime was denying it. Now the Trump regime's acting Secretary of Navy, Hunkow, is admitting it. And you have Bessent saying, oh, I just laugh at Iran. I laugh at what they're doing. Really? Because the American people aren't laughing at the latest CPI inflation numbers after the PPI numbers were higher than expected yesterday. The CPI numbers Came in higher than expected today. CPI inflation was 3.4%. Inflation rose 0.4% month over month. So if you just continue this trend at 0.4% month over month, that means by the end of this year we will be close to 5% annual inflation. Also, core inflation rose 0.3% in August. So this likely means that we will have another Uh, we will have interest rate hikes. If Donald Trump did nothing, we would have had probably 3 interest rate cuts this year alone, but Trump screwed up the entire economy and it's only going to get worse from there.

And as I noted, I'm going to do more videos on this today because I think it's critically important, but the Saudi-backed Yemeni government have withdrawn from basically all the areas. They're called the PLC. They withdrew from all areas in western Yemen, including the Perim Islands in the Bab el-Mandab Strait. The Houthis control all of western Yemen. Ansar Allah is like all of western Yemen. They took over about 3,000 square kilometers of territory yesterday. And if you think about some of these areas by Perim Island, some areas are as narrow as 3 kilometers and other areas in the Bab el-Mandab Strait like 26 kilometers. In other words, The Houthis can basically just be there with their weapons. They don't even need sophisticated radar, and they now fully can control, which they do right now, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They have all the Hanish Islands, they have Perim Island right now. Look at this green right here. You can see all the areas that the Houthis control. I'll show you this, an Ansar Allah fighter in Bab el-Mandeb explaining that they don't need drones or missiles anymore to block non-compliant vessels. So now Iran and the Iranian-backed Ansar Allah in Yemen combined control about 30 to 40% of all of the world's oil supply right now.

So what do you say about that, Bessent? Here, play this clip.

You don't need all the money right now. Not seconds or whatever. It's not like we're going to make a trap for you and a trap for you. You trap the trap.

Oh, the power of God the Mighty.

There is no power but his power. Oh my Lord, praise be to you for this empowerment.

And for this, more scenes are pouring in out of Mokka right now. And you'll see the people in Yemen are greeting, uh, the Houthis, the Ansar Allah, uh, army as heroes. This is what's going on right now in Mokka right now. That was one of the port cities in western Yemen as the Houthis advanced all, all the way down western Yemen.

play this clip.

And with all of this going on, you have Iran and, um, Gulf states are— will be having a meeting on Monday. Gulf foreign ministers plan to meet their Iranian counterpart in a push by Oman and Iran to secure a buy-in for a deal temporarily managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as regional states seek a pathway to ease hostilities over the waterway. The gathering, an Omani initiative, would be the first meeting between the top diplomats from the 6 members of the Gulf Cooperation Council and a senior Iranian official since the US and Israel launched the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. In other words, no more US security umbrella. You have Arab nations meeting with Iran and they are, um, and they are holding their own security meeting demonstrating that the US is basically viewed as utterly weak and pathetic and not having a central role to play, and that Trump is incapable of doing any, uh, deal at all. And finally, I'll leave you with this. So what's our FBI doing with all of this going on in the world, with everything that's happening? What's the FBI doing? Well, a recent FOIA records request, uh, demonstrates that Kash Patel directed the top FBI leadership to find accounts that were criticizing him and respond.

And one of the accounts he wanted to make sure that responded was an account called— and excuse my language, this is just me reporting the facts— Retard Finder. An aide warned Kash Patel that replying to Retard Finder would look bad on the FBI director for responding to that account. And Patel complained, it's getting a lot of tweet views, so we need to respond. An FBI official said, yeah. We're not responding to I Find Retards. That would be bad on you. You're the director of the FBI. And Kash Patel says, it's not about them. It's about the number of views, man, because people see it and they need to be seeing our stats. We care about our stats, our social media stats, man. That's the United States government for you right now. That's the status of our government on 9/11, folks. Hit subscribe.
