We are now seeing the devastating damage caused by Iran's response to the US military strikes last night. The US hit Larak Island in Iran. Iran responded and hit US military bases in the Middle East. And now we're seeing some devastation that was caused that the Trump regime is covering up. Donald Trump is in the Oval Office right now, also ranting and raving like a lunatic. And the Trump regime is leaking out to one of their chief propagandists, Barack over at Axios saying that the US intends to mow the lawn by continuing to attack Iran and engage in more war crimes. They're calling it a mow the lawn operation. What a bunch of war criminal sickos. Well, here is what we're learning. The IRGC announced that it shot down at least one MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Strait of Hormuz in the last 12 to 24 hours. We actually believe they may have hit 2 MQ-9 Reaper drones, and they've been showing some visual confirmation of that. We've seen dozens and dozens of MQ-9 Reapers get destroyed by Iran. Also, it does appear that a missile from Iran struck the US air defenses over at the Muwaffiq Salty Air Base.
We've already seen numerous US service members previously killed at that base in Jordan over there. Um, but it is, clear that it was a direct hit as well, which we're seeing right now visually on the satellite imagery. Also, there appears to be a ballistic missile impact over at the Prince Hassan Air Base on August 31st as well. We're getting visual confirmation of that. So Barack Ravid over at Axios, he's the guy who Trump leaks everything to, and he's always like, 3 US officials said Trump is considering a CENTCOM plan for waging limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. They're referring to it as, uh, mow the lawn operations. Again, really sick language right there. Then Donald Trump just held a press conference in the Oval Office moments ago, flanked by some of the other most despicable and putrid, vile creatures from this regime. Donald Trump's like, I'm going to give Iran the smackdown. I'm going to give them the smackdown. What do you like? Like The Rock from WWE. I'm gonna give you the— I mean, dude, shut up. You're so weak and pathetic. And the whole world knows you're just a loser. Here, play this clip.
Surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn't mean we won't smack them. We'll see what happens. But we have the Strait of Hormuz in extremely good shape. You know, we're taking over Many, many ships got through last night, as you know.
And then lights out time for Donald Trump. He falls asleep. Play this clip.
Blood pressure, diabetes, and all the ravages of obesity because we got prices where they need to be.
We can go on and on, but most favored nation pricing is on TrumpRx. And then he stays asleep for most of the press conference. You have Howard Lutnick saying a bunch of lies and Donald Trump playing this clip. In just pharmaceuticals coming. So not only do you have the jobs, but you have the driving down the cost of drugs in America, right?
We all talk about affordability.
Drug costs are the number one cost. Donald Trump is like, nobody will ever attack us. You know why? They're smart and they know not to attack us. Well, you attacked Larak Island in Iran in the past 24 hours, and they hit you back harder and again struck more U.S. military assets in the region. And now what? And oh, by the way, you also used dozens and dozens more interceptors, which are already being depleted. Great work, moron. Here, play this clip.
Of an emergency. So we have an emergency, including wars and lots of other things. We are fully equipped to handle it, but nobody's going to attack us. You know why? Because they're smart.
More from this disastrous press conference. Donald Trump, who was clearly rotting away before our eyes and falling asleep and cognitively and physically deteriorating, does what, you know, people like him do. Um, he turns to RFK Jr., who's also a deeply sick and unwell human being. But Trump's like, are you good, Bobby? You good? You good? Here, play this clip. Made America special.
Okay, Bobby, you okay?
I'm good, Mr. President. People should be asking you that. sicko. Then Dr. Oz prevents RFK Jr. from walking back to his spot. Very bizarre moment right here. Let's play this clip.
If I can add one thing from the front lines, Trump Rx, which you asked about, is incredibly popular, uh, with pharmacists.
And the most common thing— A reporter then asked Donald Trump, will you be talking to Xi Jinping when he comes to the United States about releasing some of the Americans who have been kept as prisoners there in China? And Donald Trump's like, I don't know, who, who are those people? Who are you saying? Here, play this clip. Mr.
President, next, or actually at the end of the month, Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.
You've already been successful with Pastor Ezra Jinlingri's release from China. Will you be talking to him about other Americans' release, including—
Americans' release?
Nelson Wells Jr.
and Dawn Michelle Park, who've been held in China for well over a decade. Who is it? Who? Um, what is Nelson Wells Jr. and Dawn Michelle Hunter? Well, I'll speak to him about a lot. Look, he's coming in a couple of weeks. He looks forward to it. I look forward to having him. We've had a very good relationship, as you can see, even with these trade war moves. He's relatively inactive. He's been relatively inactive by comparison to what he could have been.
He's also like, she really likes me. He really, really likes me. Let me tell you what she's doing right now, you idiot. He's at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting in Kyrgyzstan. He's not He's meeting with Putin, he's meeting with Iran's president, Pahlavi, he's meeting with Modi of India, he's meeting with a newly forming world order that China is leading. Oh, and by the way, wasn't it your regime, Donald, who threatened China, if you continue to support Iran, we're gonna level the craziest secondary sanctions? Bessent's like, you're not even gonna know what hit you, China. And China was like, okay, fly.
Get out of—
SWAT you away, fly. And that's how they view the United States now. And Besant showed once again that he's all weaselly bark and absolutely no bite. Pathetic losers in this Trump regime who are screwing you and the American people and the world and making things so much more damn expensive and unlivable while these Epstein-class sickos cover up child sex trafficking rings. Donald Trump was then asked, so what are you going to do about prices for other things? You are doing this communist-style import of foreign beef, undercutting American ranchers by 25%. Are you going to do that with other items? Trump just blames Biden. Here, play this clip.
You remember, you know, affordability. I inherited that from the Biden administration. We had very high prices. We had eggs that were selling at 4 times what they are now. We had all sorts of product that was just tremendously out of control. We had healthcare that was through the roof. This is going to bring down healthcare numbers that nobody's ever even envisioned before. Nobody— if I would have told you a year ago that we were going to pull off drug prices that would be down 50%, 60%, 70%, you would have said that's impossible. So Uh, just the way it is.
And Donald Trump then says that Venezuelan oil is amazing. You really have to love that heavy oil. You know what it's good for? Donald Trump says asphalt. Hey Donald, you idiot. First off, didn't you previously say that Ven— that Venezuelan oil was garbage? You know why though? It actually is garbage. It's tarry. It's sour. It's viscous. It's dense. It literally doesn't mix. with the salt caverns in the United States where the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is here. You will have to build out billions of dollars of infrastructure if you want to be able to refine it, which is going to take 5, 10, 15, 20 years. ExxonMobil has called Venezuela uninvestable. You know how you also know it's uninvestable? Because you just said private companies are going to be doing the deal with Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela, which, by the way, violates Venezuela's constitution. But there is no private businesses who stepped up yet. That's why you have the Defense Department creating a Trump oil company that's gonna be doing a deal with one of the bully chicos from the Chavista era. And right now, one of the corrupt individuals over there who screwed over the Venezuelans with their electricity.
And you're going to be creating an oil cartel à la communism for your oligarch friends. But it's not even going to work because Venezuelan oil is not easy to refine. So it combines kleptocracy, oligarchy, and your utter stupidity that defines Donald Trump's whole life. Oh yes. And his cover-up of the Epstein files. Play this clip.
But we're going to be taking all of that. We're going to be taking that oil out. It's all coming to the U.S. for refineries. So, you know, our plants, our refineries are specifically meant for Venezuelan heavy oil. Heavy oil is a good thing, not a bad thing. It's good for other things. You know that heavy oil is good for asphalt, roadways, all of that.
And then on the other hand, you had J.D. Vance in Michigan saying we're going to send crazy people to the curb, as though we didn't just see the craziest freaking people in the world right there. Play this clip.
So I'm asking you to send the crazy people to the curb. Send a message to the elected leadership of the Democrat Party that if you want us to vote for you, you've got to stop sending us crazy people to represent your party and help us elect some common sense, some principle. Help us elect Michael Bouchard and Mike Rogers.
Keep fighting for this state. Keep fighting for this country. God love you, everybody, and thank you for having me. Mike Rogers running for The Senate seat in Michigan's like, I know a con man when I see one. I do. I know a con man. It's you and the person I just showed and literally the con artists. We know they're con artists. We, we've observed you idiots, what these people have done for the past 2 years and what they've done their whole life. But we've just seen what they've done. Like, do you think that we're all so freaking dumb that we just ignore what you've done to this country? You've ravaged and destroyed and you've pillaged and you've looted and you've enriched yourself and your freaking oligarchs. You act like we don't realize what you did. That's why people hate you, you vile piece of scum, you. I mean, what do you think we are? You think we're all stupid? That's what they do. They think you're stupid. Here, play this clip.
Streets. And the contrast in this election, I don't think, can be more stark. Used to be a former— or I was a former FBI agent. I busted swindlers and the mob, drug dealers, murderers, human traffickers, terrorists. And I have to tell you this, I know a con man when I see one.
And let me show you who he's running against. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Here's what he said about J.D. Vance.
Well, I'm sure he was doing so charismatically as he does everything. But it also speaks to the fact that there is no future in the idea that your entire message is about taking America back. If MAGA had a message for young people, we'd have seen it already, but it's not there. The idea that we're going to have to watch as they put a data center in our backyard so that they can automate out the future of all of the jobs that people are studying to be able to get. The idea that we should have an America that doesn't guarantee healthcare, that doesn't guarantee childcare, like those ideas, they are bankrupt ideas. And so I get it that they're going to send J.D. Vance anywhere and everywhere to try and get kids to come back because he's like the youngest person that they, they have. But I think it's probably not going to work. I think young people are voting with their feet, with their future in mind. They want an America where corporations don't buy off politicians. They want an America where they have the right to a union. They want an America where we're standing up to the likes of big tech.
that's trying to automate out their futures. They want an America that is honest about where we spend our tax dollars rather than getting us into foreign wars we have no business fighting. That's the opportunity that I think young people want, and they want to be a part of that. A lot of questions about, well, how are you going to get young people to show up and vote? Well, it starts with actually having conversations about the kind of future that they want for themselves. And that's the conversation we're going to continue to have.
And more from Dr. El-Sayed right here. Let's play it.
Why would you invite JD Vance except for maybe you got a Vance bromance? I don't know, like, questions about JD Vance, they're legion. We don't have more couches here than they have in Ohio. So I'm just trying to figure out why he would come.
