All right, it's very obvious for anybody that just carefully, maybe a couple of minutes a day, kind of just glazes over the news that Trump does not have the cognitive abilities to really be in charge of anything. Nobody thinks that he's like some Eisenhower, you know, behind what's happening with this bombing of Iran. Nobody thinks he's some mastermind economically, politically, right? And so then you have to look into who is guiding him. And I have found with Trump, studying him for the last 11 years, that it always seems like whoever is in his ear the very last minute, that is whose position he absorbs the most. Because this man doesn't believe in anything except for his own ego and his own grievances. So the Guardian reports that Trump is saying the war is pretty much wrapped up. So Donald Trump said the war in Iran was, quote, very complete after an hour long phone call with Vladimir Putin. Okay. So let's remember that the day before this phone call with Vladimir Putin, this was the president's statement on Iran. Pop this up. Reuters had reported on March 8th, the United States president, Donald Trump, said on Sunday that when to end the war with Iran will be a, quote, mutual decision made with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. So let's go over the timeline. March 8th, BB's the boss of me, says Donald Trump. March 9th, Vladimir Putin is the boss of me. So it always goes back to this man being compromised and dog walked by fascist autocrats, by hardline right wing corrupt war criminals. Why on earth is the president of the United States on March 8th colluding with Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal who dog walked him and all of our taxpayer monies and our troops into a war with Iran that we cannot win because Bibi has wanted it for 40 years. And clearly Bibi has mind control, compromise, whatever over Donald Trump. It's very obvious that Donald Trump doesn't have agency or autonomy or the ability to know what agency or autonomy is. So then he has another handler, Vladimir Putin. So on March 9th, we're on a call with Vladimir Putin. And because he always like, oh, yeah, sir, yes, sir, Vladimir. We saw that he put the American troops on their knees to roll that red carpet for war criminal Vladimir Putin. So war's complete. We're pretty much done here. So while he is saying the war is complete, the day before he said, hey, we can't do anything without BB's consent. The Department of Defense, I refuse to call it the Department of War, all right? The Department of Defense posts this while he on the phone with Vladimir Putin put this up We have only just begun to fight no mercy This is the DOW rapid response Twitter page So you have these disjointed idiots, incompetent morons running the Department of Defense and the executive branch, but they're not running it, you guys. It is abundantly obvious that behind the scenes, Bibi, if he gets in Trump's ear the most, either by himself or via Lindsey Graham, who has admitted that he was counseling Bibi on how to manipulate Trump, or if it's Vladimir Putin, that dictates what the president of the United States says. Now, let's think about how Republicans are all about, especially Republican men, are all about, well, I have to vote Republican because I'm all about the economy. Okay. Then all you're doing is admitting that you're too stupid to follow the news cycle enough to know that Republicans tank the economy. Or they'll say, I'm for Republicans because I believe in a strong national security. And I've heard that one my whole life. The Republicans, we believe in a strong national security. Donald Trump is the weakest American president we've ever had. I don't even think it's close. This man is able to be dog walked by Lindsey Graham, Vladimir Putin, war criminal, autocrat, fascist, Benjamin Netanyahu, hard line, right wing, homicidal war criminal. Donald Trump takes advice from him and partners with him in a war, which was just a continuation of what the Democrats did. So I'm going to be very clear-eyed about all of that. And to perfectly illustrate how hypocritical and the conflict of interest and how insane every single bit of this foreign policy is, my friend Eamon Moyhildine of MSNOW put out the following on his Instagram page. And this is so great. It's worth it. Watch all the way to the end. play the clip. Let's see if I can get this straight. The U.S. launches a war on Iran. Oil prices spike because refineries are being hit and shipping lanes are being shut down. And Washington scrambles to try to bring these same oil prices back down. And they're trying to think of ideas. And they come up with this amazing idea, ironically, to calm the markets. The U.S. is now reportedly agreeing to allow Russia to sell more oil on the the market, which means Russia, the same country that we have been opposing in the war in Ukraine for the past years, the country that we have sanctioned because of its war in Ukraine, is now allowed to pump more oil and to bring in more money into its war chest. I wonder what Russia is going to do with that money. I think, I could be wrong, but I think they may use it to continue the war in Ukraine. And here's actually where it gets even more troubling. There is reporting to suggest that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran and Iran is using that intelligence to target American assets and our allies in the region So I just want you to think about this irony here for a moment The U.S. launches a war against Iran. Oil prices go up to try to stabilize the prices. The U.S. turns to Russia, which we oppose in the war in Ukraine, and says to them, you can start selling your oil again on the market to help drive the prices down for us and our consumers. you're allowed to make money off of it that money you can use to fund your war in ukraine against us but at the same time you are providing intelligence to the iranians which they are using to attack our assets in the region and our allies which is driving the price of oil up which makes us turned to the Russians to try to lower the prices. I don't know if the US and Israel thought this through, but none of this actually makes sense. This is just absurd on every level. And I would add to Eamon, if you see the insanity of that, that we are now helping the ally of our enemy, Iran. It's utter insanity. But did Bibi and the United States think this through? I think Bibi has been so myopic and so laser focused on his make a wish for 40 years that he has to attack Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu is a bloodthirsty homicidal killer. While they're bombing Iran. And this has never been about liberating the Iranians. They're lying to the Iranians. We have toxic rain coming down from the sky right now. We're bombing schools. We're bombing hospitals. Oh, where does that sound familiar from? Oh, that's what Bibi did in Gaza. While all of this is going on, Bibi is also bombing Lebanon. He is an insane person. So did he think about the destabilizing of oil and all of those things? I think he has been so laser focused on finding an American president that is idiotic and stupid and impulsive enough to attack Iran that when he finally got it with Trump and the Epstein files really started ticking up and it looked like that was going to be the driving force behind the news cycle, kind of moving into more of Watergate style coverage of it. BB gets Lindsey Graham and Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, and they just tag team a guy whose brain is totally cooked. You've seen it into doing this. Nobody thought about the economic outcome. And here's the thing about BB. I don't even know if BB genuinely cares if Russia is giving information. He wants Iran to be balkanized and he wants Israel to continue its expansionist ambitions, Lebanon, Iran, probably Syria, probably Turkey. He won't stop. Listener, every single morning when I get up to prepare for this podcast, I go to one app on my phone and it is ground news and I use their vantage plan And let me tell you why it is like the Spotify of news They tell you who owns each outlet where it leans politically and whether you reading original reporting or recycled messaging It also tells you if what you're reading is actually true. And let me give you a prime example. Here is one headline in a right-leaning article. The headline reads, must take idea of U.S. surrendering to their graves, says Iran president after Trump calls for surrender from Iran. This tells me my Ground News Vantage plan, right-leaning mixed factuality. Same subject, left-leaning publication. From I am willing to speak to there will be no agreement without unconditional surrender, Trump's flocks on the end of the war in Iran. This tells me my Ground News Vantage plan leans left in very high factuality.

This guy is a maniacal, homicidal, psychopathic killer, Benjamin Netanyahu. Doesn't give a shit if he bombs hospitals, schools, any of it. And he found the perfect dementia pudding brain president to be his partner in this because he needs to cover up for all of his, the Epstein stuff, which let's remember, Epstein was intimately connected with the Israeli government and also provided a lot of counsel to Vladimir Putin. So during all of this, everything that my friend Amen is talking about, you know, we're helping the Israelis and then we're talking to Russia and Russia is going to help us with oil, but the Russians are helping the Iranians. Let me ask you this, America, how does any of this help our national deficit? It does and it does the opposite. How does any of this help the healthcare crisis? How does any of this help inflation? How does any of this help the United States of America, the people, 77 million people that turned out to vote for Donald Trump? They claim because of inflation. That's why, inflation. None of this helps anything. And in fact, it is doing generational damage, death and destruction. I'll say it once. I'm going to say it again. MAGA movement. The MAGA movement is a pedophilic death cult. Everything they do is pedophilia, covering for pedophiles and partnering with people like Benjamin Netanyahu and like Vladimir Putin, where they can kill other people. That's their ethos. That's what they believe in. Full stop. All right. That's all I have for this episode. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
