What you just saw right there is actual footage of Iran launching more ballistic missiles at surrounding Arab nations, particularly where there are American military bases and financial interests. This is the 61st wave of Iranian ballistic missile strikes, and the Iranian ballistic missiles are evolving as well. They're using these cluster munitions, which we've been seeing over the past few weeks and particularly escalating the use of these cluster munitions. We saw it just last night. We'll show you visuals here in Dubai, over the Dubai airport, over financial areas in Dubai and other areas in the United Arab Emirates. We're also seeing these cluster munitions being used in Tel Aviv. They're harder to hit with the THAAD systems and the Patriot systems because the clusters spread out, and that also forces the THAAD and the Patriots to expend more munitions to try to strike it which means you're spending millions and millions of dollars in interceptors to strike down much cheaper weapons, uh, that are being, uh, used by Iran. So contrary to what Donald Trump is saying, where he goes, we've destroyed all their ballistic missiles, we've destroyed them. They're totally obliterated.

00:02:21

Everything's been 100% decimated. We basically won this war in 48 hours. We won. Now we're just kind of hanging out and we're having fun. Right? That's what Trump's saying. We may bomb them more for fun because I like it. Trump goes, I may just take Cuba while I'm at it. Last night he was posting statehood. He wants Venezuela to be part of the United States. That's something he keeps on repeating over and over again. You know, while he's saying all of this, the United States right now is now stuck in this never-ending quagmire in Iran. Right now we have 13 service members dead, 200 injured, a lot of service members seriously injured, seriously injured. The USS Gerald Ford, one of the two main aircraft carriers that are right there by Iran, now has to go into a port in Greece because these ships were not meant to be out there this long. I mean, it's almost been on deployment for about a year. We know there was a fire on March 12th, and we know— we now learned this fire is much worse than what the media and what was previously being reported by the Trump regime.

00:03:32

Remember when we reported it back on March 12th We go, this sounds pretty, pretty bad. There was like a fire that took place in the laundry room. That's what they're saying. They're saying it wasn't like enemy fire, just happened in the laundry room. But these things tend to happen if you have an aircraft carrier out there for so long. But the result of it is lots of people's clothing was burned. The place where the sailors sleep was burned. They have to like sleep on the floor right now. They don't have change of clothes. The logistics is all screwed up. Morale is at like an all-time low. Do you Remember when we were reporting on the morale of the Navy members who were on this ship like 2 months ago, 3 months ago, we were giving you reports on the morale. We're seeing that take place right now. And I think morale is particularly low as well within the Trump regime as Donald Trump just keeps on lying about this war. No one even understands what the hell he's saying. He's not speaking like in sentences at all. He's just like ranting and raving like an absolute lunatic.

00:04:37

Let me just show you some of the visuals here. Again, you'll see these ballistic missile attacks from Iran heading toward the UAE. You'll see over a dozen interceptor missiles earlier from the skies of, uh, Dubai trying to strike some of these, uh, drones and some of these cluster munitions that are being used by Iran. Take a look right here over central Israel. You'll see munitions from a cluster warhead on Iranian medium-range ballistic missiles. You'll You can see over here more cluster munitions raining down following these interceptors being used by Israel. And Donald Trump just goes, statehood, statehood. I mean, it looks like an absolute lunatic. Meanwhile, you have the foreign minister of Iran, Foreign Minister Araghchi, posting articles from the United States media or just direct resignation letters from Trump top officials who are resigning over this war. I mean, you have Foreign Minister Arati of Iran posting the resignation letter of ultra-MAGA right-wing extremist Joseph Kent, a Gold Star husband. His wife was killed in Syria from a terrorist attack in 2019. He's the— was the director of National Counterterrorism Center, meaning he was Tulsi Gabbard's number 2. And he said, this is an unlawful war.

00:06:06

We were pulled into this war in Iran because of Netanyahu and Israel. I want no part of it. I am resigning. Then the Trump regime attacked Kent and said he's a leaker. He's a bad guy. He's disloyal. This guy's as ultra-MAGA as you get. One of the other articles that Foreign Minister Araghchi is posting is this article about Britain's national security advisor, Jonathan Powell. And Powell has been telling people that, you know, he attended the final United States-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva in late February, and he judged Tehran's proposal at that Friday mediation that was presided over by the foreign minister of Oman. He described it as significant enough to prevent a rush to war. This is what sources are telling The Guardian. He believed that progress had been made and described the offer by Iran as surprising. And like, surprisingly, lots of momentum was being, was being made on the negotiations. And so why would we rush into war? And again, this is Britain's national security National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell saying this. We know the Foreign Minister of Oman has been saying this. And one of the things that Britain's National Security Advisor was concerned about and why he had to be in the room and why he brought others is that they just thought that basically Kushner, who was there on the American— America's behalf, and Witkoff were basically just doing whatever Netanyahu wanted.

00:07:42

And so they were there just to try to monitor what was happening. And they're saying We were shocked that why would the Trump regime rush into this war unless they were influenced and pushed into it by Netanyahu? I mean, that's what the UK is saying. Remember yesterday as Donald Trump had the Taoiseach from Ireland, like their prime minister, and Donald Trump kept on saying he was being asked questions by the Irish press about the president of Ireland, female president, who says that what Donald Trump's been doing in Iran and elsewhere, war crimes, unlawful. Donald Trump's, I don't like what he's saying. Donald Trump doesn't realize that the president of Ireland is a female. And then Donald Trump would just like attack Keir Starmer, the prime minister of the UK. He's no Winston Churchill. He'd attack French President Emmanuel Macron because Macron's like, we didn't start this war, we didn't join. He's like, I don't like Macron anyway. We don't need NATO. Why would we want to be part of NATO anyway? I mean, Donald Trump talks about, he goes, We don't— I go— he goes, I don't need Congress to tell me if I'm gonna pull the United States out of NATO.

00:08:50

I can just do it. Here, watch what he says here. It's very dangerous. Here, play this clip.

00:08:56

Are you rethinking, uh, the United States relationship with, uh, NATO, possibly getting out?

00:09:02

Well, I'm disappointed in NATO that we spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it, trillions over the years. Many trillions of dollars. It's one of the reasons we have deficits and we help other countries. And when they don't help us, I mean, it's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision. As you probably know, I can make that decision myself. I'd work with some very smart people.

00:09:28

Then later, he was referring to this disastrous war in Iran as an excursion. And the way he described it, he's like, look, we were doing so good, so good. The Dow was 50,000. And everything was going so good. So I just asked Susie Wiles, I said, Susie, I want to do this excursion in Iran. Can I do an excursion? And Susie Wiles, my chief of staff, said, yeah, do the excursion. So I did an excursion. That's what this is. You think this is a game, Donald? You think this is a freaking game? There are 13 service members who have died. 200 have been injured. We have one of the biggest oil shocks— no, the biggest oil shock in the history of the world. You're destroying the economy. But, but nice of you to want an excursion, Donald. Here, play this clip.

00:10:16

Doing better. We had to do a little excursion, if you don't mind, a little excursion to take care of nuclear weaponry in the hands of maniacs. But other than that, in a couple of weeks— and won't be much longer, it's moving along fast, we're way ahead of schedule. Did you know that, Mr. Speaker?

00:10:33

I'm trying And then you have Benjamin Netanyahu telling the people of Iran, go out and celebrate. We're watching. Go out and celebrate. Who is directing this? Like, what? You truly think that if the Iranians see Netanyahu, that they're going to be like, Netanyahu's telling us to celebrate? You think that the Iranians want Trump and Netanyahu as their leaders? Like, what are you doing? Like, if you're gonna do propaganda, aren't you gonna at least like try to like think through it a little bit? And what— I mean, this is utterly disastrous and catastrophic and stupid. And the behavior by this Trump regime and Netanyahu is so despicable at every level. But here's what they're saying: go out and party, Iran. Go out and party, like, celebrate. Talking about here. Play this clip.

00:11:28

I'm here with Israel's defense minister, our chief of staff, the head of the Mossad, the chief of air force, our senior commanders. In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny. Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the ground, in the crossroads, in the city squares. This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the Festival of Fire. So celebrate and happy Nowruz. We're watching from above.

00:12:02

As Gregory Brew says, I'm not sure what Israel's strategy is beyond just killing whoever's in charge until the US tells them to stop. You know, because yesterday the Israelis killed Ali Larijani. He's the National Security Council advisor to Iran, one of their top you know, one of their top leaders in Iran, who is actually— don't get me wrong, Larijani, bad, bad guy. But in the group of really bad people, he was someone who was viewed as you could talk to, you can negotiate with, was a rational actor who can bring different factions of Iran together. So when you killed Larijani— by the way, one of the things that Israel and the United States were thinking before Trump launched this war against Iran was that Larry Johnny could be the guy who could potentially take over Iran. That was going to be like their Delcy Rodriguez. That was like their idea. So, so you kill that guy, you kill all of them. All you're doing is bringing in more extreme versions of the people that you're killing. Don't you realize that? And then of course yesterday, we, uh, Wall Street Journal reported something we've already been talking about.

00:13:14

Because Iran's been saying it publicly that they're getting military help from Russia. But the Wall Street Journal reported on it. Russia's been providing improved drone technology to Iran in order to aid in their targeting of US forces in the region. Details include, in addition to drone technology, Russia has also been expanding its intel sharing with Iran. Russia is engaging in military cooperation with Iran. Russia is trying to keep its closest Middle Eastern partner in the fight against the US. Russia's providing satellite imagery to Iranian forces. Russia's influence in the Iran war is reportedly growing. Russia's making a huge amount of money on this because the price of oil goes up. Trump removed the sanctions against Russian oil. So Russia is making a killing, literally and figuratively, from the US right now based on Donald Trump's behavior. And Russia wants to keep— Russia wants to destroy the United States and also distract everybody away to not focus on Ukraine. So for Russia, this is the biggest one. This is a gift handed from Donald Trump right now. And just think about it. Russia's out there helping Iran kill Americans. And Donald Trump responds by removing sanctions against Russia for Russian oil when no other country in the G7 wanted to do that other than traitorous, treasonous Donald Trump.

00:14:36

And I call him a traitor and treasonous. In my opinion, because in my opinion, you got to call out things with moral clarity. Also, just think about all prices are going up. It's not just the oil that's stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. What about the fertilizer that's stuck there? What about all the other food and produce that's stuck there? Think about all the prices that are going up right now. US coffee prices surging at a record pace. The average price of ground roast coffee is up to a record $9.46 per pound. In February, coffee prices jumped 30.5% year over year. In— let me repeat that stat— in February, coffee prices jumped 30.5% year over year. How about ground beef? Over the same period, ground beef prices have risen 73%. To $6.74 per pound. Furthermore, steak prices have soared 66%. Overall, the food at home category price level is up 31%, while food away from home is up 36% as a result of Donald Trump and his despicable regime. And when Donald Trump's national economic advisor was asked about this, he was like, well, you know, We don't think the war is going to actually hurt the American economy.

00:16:00

It's just going to hurt the people. You're saying it's not going to hurt the American economy, it's going to hurt the people? Oh, so you mean your right-wing oligarch billionaires are going to be okay, but the people are the ones getting screwed? That what you mean? Here, play this clip of Kevin Hassett. Let's play it.

00:16:16

But the fact is that the US economy is fundamentally sound and that if it were to be extended this, it wouldn't really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers. And we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's like really the last of our concerns right now because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule.

00:16:38

Look at gas prices right now. First, let's look at diesel. The U.S. diesel average is now above $5 a gallon for only the second time in history. The U.S. national average price for gasoline surpassed $3.75 a gallon for the first time since October 2023. Um, let's talk about some domestic news for a second though here as well. Um, Epstein files, I know Donald Trump wants to distract from it, um, but Democrats forced the hand of the MAGA Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to issue a subpoena to Pam Bondi. And when the House Oversight Committee Republicans wanted Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton to sit for a deposition, and they did. This backfired so much on the MAGA Republicans because of Bill Clinton and especially Hillary. Hillary Clinton is not even in the files, right? If Hillary Clinton is forced to sit for a deposition, clearly Pam Bondi needs to sit for a deposition. So Pam Bondi's been refusing to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee. So even James James Comer had to write a letter to Pam Bondi saying, well, now because you're not cooperating, we're subpoenaing you. You're gonna have to show up, and we're doing an investigation into the improprieties by the Department of Justice.

00:17:58

You have even James Comer calling out Pam Bondi. So we're going to see a hearing April 14th, 2026. Pam Bondi is going to appear before the House Oversight Committee to must talk about Epstein. Watch her try to wiggle out of that and to try to escape that, you know, because that's, you know, something that we believe that she's going to try to do. And then you have Lindsey Graham saying we're not going to invade Iran, but we need to send— we need to take over the Karg Islands. So how are you not going to— what are you talking about? You're not going to invade Iran, but you need to take the Karg Islands. Let's play it. Any longer than he has to, and I don't think it's going to be much longer.

00:18:37

No, we're not going to invade Iran. There's no reason to. We're going to destroy their ability to hurt us, have a nuclear weapon, build missiles to hit America, and terrorize the region. Karg Island, 90% of their income comes from oil and gas revenue. 100% of that revenue generating capabilities on a single island. Mr. President, take Karg Island. This war is over.

00:19:02

All right.

00:19:02

Lindsey Graham, South Carolina. And then Lindsey Graham, with war footage playing next to him, is saying, can you imagine what would happen if Kamala Harris was in office? Can you just imagine what would have happened if Kamala was in office? Here, play this clip.

00:19:18

Could kill millions of people. President Trump, you're the right man at the right time. God bless you for taking decisive action. And can you imagine what the world would be like if Kamala Harris had won? Uh, so we got to get this right, and we're very close to getting it right.
