Donald Trump has been crashing out all Sunday morning. He's still in Mar-a-Lago vacationing on the taxpayer dime. Yesterday he made an ultimatum made him telling Iran, if you don't go out of the Strait of Hormuz 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 has Donald Trump responded this morning? Here is what he is posting. He posted the following: Now with the death 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 6th, 5 years ago today. Would be a shame if this went viral on X. First off, you're posting this on March 22nd. And also, of all of the things going on in this country, this is what your demented, sicko 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 Bessant, one of the most despicable appearances I've ever seen this morning. We know that the MAGA 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 out, 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 left Democrats who are only focused on protecting hardline 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 Tom Homan 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 maim and harm and terrorize people on the streets.

And now they're doing it in the airports. Fantastic job, Donald. You, you struck again. I mean, these people are the most demented idiots ever. Oh, and then Donald Trump posted this this morning as well. The Democrat running in Texas, James Talarico, turns out to be a fraud! Exclamation point. It showed after the election when he beat low-IQ candidate Jasmine Crockett. 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 Davy Crockett. He's got 6 genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food, wears a mask in 2013, and is weak, ineffective guy who we allowed to win prior to releasing the avalanche of information we had on him. Because as bad as Crockett 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 child would win. He may be the worst candidate I've ever seen. Other than of course Gavin Newsom, who admitted that he suffers from mental incapacity, is unable to read a speech and is dumb. But in saying the dumb comment, referred to his audience and therefore became in the eyes of Americans a total racist.

I mean, Donald Trump's the most demented individual imaginable, and we know that Donald Trump is physically and cognitive declining and deteriorating before our eyes. This is what he's posting. Also yesterday, Donald Trump said that he was 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 what Democratic Congressmember and, and veteran Jason Crowe has to post, Army Ranger. He posts the following: This president is a 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 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. Kristen Welker said, could US troops go into Kharg Island to secure it? Are we sending troops? Into Iran. In essence, we could— we could watch the arrogance. I said all options are on the table. Welker, here, play this clip.

You bring up Karg 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 Karg 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 he goes, 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, right? You have to escalate to de-escalate. Who is this idiot? And why is this idiot talking about the war? Why is this idiot on my TV? Why does this idiot have any power over anything? This 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 Cain, Secretary Hagseth are leading a campaign to destroy all the fortifications along the Straits of Hormuz.

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 that President Trump is considering sending troops into Iran. Will the administration—

Or from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, 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. Here, play this clip.

So when we unsanction 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, it 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 them.

No, 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 Welker and Bessant. She says, so you're talking about 140 million barrels, uh, that you are removing sanctions from Iran. Is that enough to really even make a difference? But you're giving Iran $14 billion again, Christian, terrible framing, just terrible framing. You're doing terrible. What the hell are you talking about? Who are these psychos on our TV? Seriously, 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?

Again, terrible framing. Terrible framing.

Well, how much can it change prices here at home? Let's talk to consumers. How much will it change prices here?

Just let, let me explain. 140 million barrels, about 20 million barrels a day comes out of the Gulf. About 5 million has been repurposed by the Saudis, by the UAE. So we're at a 15 deficit. About 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes out. So we are at between a 10 and 14 million deficit on a daily basis. So if you think about 140 million barrels, that's between 10 days and 2 weeks of supply.

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 proposing or has proposed staging a fake Viktor Orbán assassination attempt. He's the Putin puppet in Hungary who Donald Trump supports in order to boost Orbán'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 about the same as in the 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 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 center's covering it. No one on the left's covering it, but all the right wing's covering the— why? Because all the other stories I've been sharing with you this morning about 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 the 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 healthcare 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 reported on 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. Reporting. Ground News is an app and 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 it? Who is reporting on the Viktor Orbán article? And you can see right-wing bias, what they're reporting on and what they're trying to hide.

It's why Ground News even has a dedicated blind spot feed. That's a personal favorite of mine. It's what I showed you. It highlights 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 gonna do on the Midas Touch Network. We're gonna offer you 40% off the same Vantage plan that I use for my research. It's 40% off.

Let's get back to this video as well. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant on oil sanctions against Iran. He describes what we're doing in the United States as We are, we are jiu-jitsuing them. Iran didn't even see it coming. We lift the sanctions off of their oil, and that's a form of jiu-jitsu that we're doing against them.

Folks, idiocracy couldn't write this in their script without getting laughed off. We're jiu-jitsuing 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. Oil stored on tankers, a move that would effectively allow Iran to get more than $14 billion of oil revenue. Why is the US helping to fund a country that it's currently at war with?

Mr. Secretary, 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? The 7, the which is better if they were, if oil prices spiked 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 jiu-jitsuing the Iranians. We're using their own oil against them. 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— to be clear, that $14 billion number is grossly overstated.

More in this Kristen Welker interview right here. It's like an unfathomable interview, but I guess anything is fathomable when it comes to the depths of depravity and idiocracy of this Trump regime. Kristen Welker says, so are we going to raise taxes to fund this war? What? Well, 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 healthcare? Shouldn't we have plenty for education? Shouldn't we have plenty for housing? No, we have plenty when it comes to bombing civilian energy infrastructure in Iran while our civilians here in the United States suffer. Here, play this clip right here.

Would the administration ever raise taxes in order to fund this war?

Again, Kristen, the terrible framing. I think that it's just a—

it's a simple question that I think a lot of people have.

Well, it's a ridiculous question.

Well, what— can you answer it?

Why would we do that? We have plenty. We have $1 trillion in this year's budget for the military. And President Trump, even before the conflict started, had said that he would like to further build out the military.

So just— is raising taxes under consideration at all? At all. You're saying you have plenty of money?

Not at all.

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 when Donald Trump talks about blowing up the energy infrastructure in Iran, he's talking about like, like 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 they do have a nuclear power plant, Bushehr. It's actually their largest energy plant. Plant. It's a civilian site.

It's actually not their largest energy plant, about 1 gigawatt. They have larger ones that are gas-fired outside of Tehran. Okay, so, but just case in 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 large major 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 a 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.

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 an impeccable job showing critical leadership in this moment in the United States Senate. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. Here's what he has to say. Let's play this clip.

And they do have a nuclear power plant, Bushehr. It's actually their largest energy plant. It's a civilian site.

So it's actually not their largest energy plant. It's about one about 1 gigawatt. They have larger ones that are gas-fired outside of Tehran. Okay, so, but just case in point.

Okay, but, 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, on, on national television. However, there are larger plants. There's one outside of Tehran. There are others outside of 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 in a 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.

How do you—

more from Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. Let's play it.

Let me ask you, though, because the war is underway, you have argued, and I'll put this quote, we need to end this war right now. If the US 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 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 nonsensical. 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 requests.

I'm absolutely a no on any funding requests. 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 is 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 are 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 the— don't you— what's your plan with ICE? What's ICE going to do at the airports? Just, 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 thought out could it possibly be?

Again, ICE has been at airports across the country for a long time. It's just expanding those things. Look, it doesn't— how much of a plan does it mean to guard an exit to make sure no one comes through that exit? And we're talking about security options. And these officers are well trained in security, and they're well trained in identification. And look, we're going to do what we can to help TSA move those, uh, people through the line.
