It just keeps getting worse..

0:00 The Trump administration does not exist to help the American people.

0:03 Doesn't exist to pass legislation that is going to improve

0:06 this country and the lives of the people who voted for it.

0:10 That's what many people thought this Trump administration was going to do.

0:14 But no, what it really is is a money-making scheme.

0:17 It's a grifting operation.

0:19 And it's obvious in the fact that Donald Trump's meme coin has earned

0:24 him billions of dollars as people try to curry favor of the president.

0:29 It's obvious because those people in the administration who

0:32 are privy to information that gives them the ability

0:36 to do insider trading and bet on say

0:39 oil futures before Donald Trump makes a big announcement.

0:42 We've seen very strong evidence of that.

0:45 There's more of that.

0:46 I'm going to show you in just a moment.

0:47 But it's also one of bait and switch where they say one thing,

0:51 but then they do another.

0:52 For instance, Marco Rubio yesterday said this about Operation Epic Theory.

1:01 They don't have an air force.

1:02 Their missile launching capability has been substantially degraded.

1:06 And their industrial base,

1:07 their defense industrial base has been severely severely damaged.

1:10 So their ability to build a shield behind which

1:13 they could hide their nuclear program was wiped out.

1:16 That's a very substantial achievement and that was

1:18 the purpose of this operation from day one.

1:20 their nuclear material in order for this war to end.

1:23 one of the topics that needs to be discussed.

1:24 I don't know about I think you're linking it.

1:26 The the the operation is over.

1:28 The operation is over.

1:30 Peter Heck said yesterday slurred through his own speech, too.

1:33 Also saying that Operation Epic Theory was over

1:36 and that they were starting a new project called Project Freedom.

1:40 Only one problem.

1:41 Donald Trump is an idiot.

1:42 He has dementia.

1:44 And he's trying to make some money.

1:45 So what did he do?

1:46 He said Project Freedom is actually paused now.

1:50 That's interesting to me.

1:51 I think the reason why the president of the United States

1:52 did that because there's a bait and switch happening within this country.

1:56 They want to make sure that those who have

1:58 privy information are able to make money off of it.

2:01 And as shown in this meme here,

2:03 Ruby declared new military mission, Trump undeclared it, mission accomplished.

2:07 No wonder the world continues to laugh at us.

2:09 This is a joke, and they made a gravestone for it.

2:12 Then this morning Donald Trump said that the Hormuz

2:15 Strait is going to be open to all,

2:18 and if Iran doesn't agree, the bombing's going to start again.

2:21 So, do you understand like there's really

2:22 no clear indication where this is all heading,

2:25 but my sense of all of this is is that Donald Trump

2:28 is saying this stuff because he wants his folks to make money.

2:31 Here is Maria Bartiroma interviewing Chris Wright,

2:37 who seems to try to be oblivious to all of it.

2:39 So, God bless President Trump's courage and the amazing

2:43 American military to say that's not going to happen.

2:45 We're not going to see a nuclear armed Iran.

2:48 We hold the cards.

2:50 We hold the leverage.

2:51 That's where this ends.

2:52 Iran, you get to choose the path from here to there,

2:55 but no more nuclear weapons program in Iran,

2:58 and free flow of goods through the Strait of Hormuz.

3:02 Both of those are coming.

3:03 So, I mean, when what is the timing on this, Secretary?

3:06 Because, you know, it's interesting,

3:07 we we started this morning with a huge rally in stocks,

3:10 600 points earlier, and the and the price of oil was down sharply.

3:14 At its at its best, it was down like 14% or 13%.

3:18 And then the president put out this post a few minutes ago.

3:21 It says, "Assuming Iran agrees to give what has

3:23 been agreed to, which is perhaps a big assumption." So,

3:27 as a result of that post, I think it did take some of the some of the gains off.

3:33 Now the Dow's up 437, and and and oil is is is is down this morning I mean,

3:39 the the Dow industrials are up 437, and the price of oil is down about 8 or 9%.

3:44 So, I'm just wondering how, you know,

3:47 much credibility you give this memo of understanding,

3:51 and and and what your expectation is in terms

3:53 of the Iranians giving up their nuclear ambitions.

3:59 Look, Iran has been, you know, double-dealing, deceptive for 47 years.

4:05 All right, so he's just going to lie.

4:06 We're not We don't We don't need to listen to lies.

4:08 They can just air them on Fox News.

4:10 But, she kind of laid it out there.

4:13 She said it without saying it that Donald Trump and his administration yesterday

4:18 said one thing and then Donald Trump and his administration did another thing.

4:22 To me, there's only one real reason why that would happen.

4:26 One, because Donald Trump is not a real leader, but two,

4:30 because someone is making a lot of money off of this.

4:33 Now, someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 a.m.

4:40 today.

4:41 70 minutes later, Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.

4:47 Oil dropped 12%.

4:48 That trade made a $125 million in profit.

4:52 Minutes after the Iran launched the Persian

4:55 Gulf Strait Authority, oil surged 8%.

4:58 $760 were placed before Trump's last announcement.

5:02 $920 million placed before this one.

5:05 Every major announcement in this war has been

5:08 front-run by someone who knew it was coming.

5:11 So, what this isn't really a war.

5:13 This is a money-making scheme.

5:16 That's what I'm alleging here.

5:17 That's why there's so much chaos with the messaging.

5:20 It's actually not chaos.

5:22 It's organized.

5:23 Donald Trump and his administration are making it

5:26 seem like they don't know what they're doing.

5:28 They know exactly what they're doing.

5:30 They're making the markets go up and down,

5:32 and they're making tons of money while it's happening.

5:35 Here's another example here.

5:36 It happened again the most corrupt administration in history.

5:39 Right before the Axios headline this morning,

5:41 someone opened up a $15 million leveraged short on oil every single time.

5:46 And there it is right there.

5:48 And it doesn't just stop there.

5:50 The Trump administration promised us that his ballroom was going to be $250

5:55 million and he said it was going to be $300 million and $400 million.

5:58 Here is a bit of that.

6:01 I'm paying for it.

6:02 The country is not We're donating a $400 million ballroom.

6:06 Myself and donors are giving them free of charge, for nothing.

6:10 We did this no charge to the taxpayer whatsoever.

6:14 Rich people and people are putting up the money.

6:17 Zero taxpayer dollars.

6:18 It will cost $250 million and it will be

6:23 the I think the finest It's about $300 million.

6:27 Approximately $400 million.

6:28 I think I'll do it for less, but it's $400.

6:31 I should do it for less.

6:32 I will do it for less, but just in case I say $400.

6:36 You got the picture.

6:37 We're not paying for it, rich people are and it's going to be $250 million,

6:41 actually $300 million, actually $400 million.

6:44 What's interesting now is that the courts ruled that this was illegal

6:47 and so they couldn't just take money to build a ballroom for the government.

6:51 Now, suddenly, when it's on us, the taxpayers,

6:54 to pay for this ballroom that doesn't need to be built,

6:57 it's going to be a billion dollars.

7:00 One billion dollars.

7:02 Truly, what could cost a billion dollars to make?

7:07 It's not like a 10-story building.

7:10 I don't even know how much it costs.

7:12 How much does it cost?

7:13 A skyscraper can cost anywhere between $300 million to $600 to $6 billion, okay?

7:20 Think about how much space that is, how much materials that take,

7:24 how long it takes to build a skyscraper.

7:27 $300 million to $6 billion, okay?

7:30 So, what Donald Trump is building, a ballroom that is one floor,

7:34 is going to cost one billion dollars, he's saying.

7:38 And that's just how much he's saying today.

7:40 Could be even more.

7:41 But what I want to see the invoices.

7:44 I want to see the line by line.

7:47 What could possibly be costing that much money?

7:49 I would allege that it's like everything else

7:52 and Donald Trump is taking money off the top.

7:54 That's what I would say.

7:55 Here's what other people have said.

7:56 That bill that stands out is 1 billion

7:59 in security adjustments at the White House for Secret Service.

8:02 This would provide the security surrounding the president's ballroom project.

8:05 Some Democrats think this will be a winning issue

8:08 for them forcing Republicans to vote on the president's

8:10 ballroom while the American people right now are

8:12 kind of struggling to pay for gas and groceries.

8:15 But what do you think of all of this?

8:18 Uh well, first off it's it's excellent

8:19 that we are getting the reconciliation done.

8:21 Of course, it's being done only through Republicans.

8:24 Democrats really don't understand uh what's taking place

8:28 here as they've uh greatly hurt our homeland security.

8:34 Uh you hear Secretary Mark Wayne talk about it.

8:37 Uh we we have shortfalls.

8:39 We lost 1,100 people within CISA.

8:41 Our cybersecurity uh prevention and work is is is greatly inhibited.

8:47 Uh it's just terrible and and and frankly

8:49 their position on Iran I mean when they speak

8:51 they they sound like heck they're more for Iran

8:53 than they are for America not just for de-escalation.

8:57 Look, it's a security project.

8:58 Yes, it's on the it's on the East Wing but it's a security uh initiative.

9:03 I really think he gave the game away there.

9:04 I do believe I believe him.

9:06 I believe that Republican that it really does have

9:09 nothing to do with the construction of the ballroom.

9:11 I think they're trying to pretend like it has to do with security

9:14 like as if every other president has not been secure in the White House.

9:18 Give me a break.

9:18 This is all about trying to take as much

9:20 money as possible from us while it's still possible.

9:24 Ron Filipkowski said two reasons that Republicans

9:26 in Congress are making taxpayers pay for the ballroom.

9:29 One, it is insanely overbudget far more than the $400 Trump

9:34 now admits to after he originally said it was 200 million.

9:38 Two, his exaggerated donations don't come close to covering it.

9:41 Three, he's trying to make money and just as an FYI,

9:44 Donald Trump is literally trying to charge

9:48 the Fed chair with fraud because their construction

9:52 project that by the way he didn't even start is going on longer and over budget.

9:57 And as Sam Stein pointed out here, oh, so a construction project,

10:01 an important DC institution has gone over the projected cost and it

10:04 may require a billion dollars to help with the security features.

10:08 Very well pointed out.

10:09 So yeah, it's all a grift.

10:11 It's all a grift.

10:12 This is the thing we have to hammer away the most that what they

10:17 are doing is making money off of us as we do not get anything back.

10:23 And as things have gotten more expensive

10:26 because of their decisions, it is offensive.

10:30 It's It's It's truly offensive and they think you're stupid.

10:34 They think you're weak.

10:35 They think you're not going to do anything about it,

10:37 but I have a message for them that we are paying attention.

10:41 We are pissed off and we vote.
