Donald Trump is having a catastrophic Monday morning. His attempt at trying to manipulate the markets by claiming that once again the United States is about to have a deal with Iran has instantly backfired in his face. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson coming out with a statement saying, do not listen to Donald Trump. We are in no negotiations with the United States. The only group of people Iran speaking to right now is Oman. Over Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The United States is flailing. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson is saying, meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, you have three refineries that have been struck by the Houthis in the past 24 hours. Another major strike by the Houthis. And what the Houthis of Yemen, who are allied with Iran, are focused on, are disabling the route of pipelines to do an end run around the Strait of Hormuz. And so to be clear, what's going on right now, Iran has a stranglehold over the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis have a stranglehold over the Bab El Mandab Strait, enforcing essentially a full blockade on Saudi tankers and other tankers that they believe are their enemy, and at the same time, right now, disabling the pipelines that do the end run around the Strait of Hormu. So, as you know, the United States ran out of its precision munitions, ran out of its interceptors. So Donald Trump was forced to basically beg for a ceasefire. Donald Trump was posting all those deranged AI images last night, like, we won. We beat Iran. We're invading Carg Island. I mean, all that deranged stuff I showed you this morning, uh, then Donald Trump this morning called up Israelis news channel 12. That's like Donald Trump's go to news source right now. He calls up Israeli media and he starts saying things like, we're not going to give Iran that much time. They're begging for a deal. All the usual stuff that you're used to him saying, I'll just say exactly what he said. Trump to channel 12. That's an Israeli news channel. The mediating countries asked me not to launch the military operations. I believe the Iranians want to reach a deal but the room to get a deal deal is very short. We are in deep talk, strong talks, very powerful talks. Donald Trump says with Iran now, and the mediators told me, give diplomacy a chance, but I don't have much time. We will do very powerful strikes if they don't agree to a deal. If they don't agree to my deal, there's nothing to gain and nothing to lose about doing these discussions. I'm ready for strong, powerful military action if talks with Iran fail. That's what Donald Trump saying. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson says, don't pay attention to him. Don't pay attention to Trump's statements to the media. We have no negotiations with the United States. The negotiations we are having, which may sometimes be subject to different interpretations, are the ones we are holding with Oman focusing on making necessary arrangements regarding the Strait of Hormuz. We will never allow the United States to open up its own route in the Strait of Hormuz. We control it. We'll never give it up. We'll die until, you know, we're forced to give it up. Ain't happening. He goes on to say, I don't know how you think the United States is managing the war, a war that was supposed to lead to Iran's collapse, our collapse within three days, forcing Iran to surrender. And yet now, after five months, the United States is stuck in a quagmire of their own making. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson says this is not war management. Committing war crimes every once in a while and taking pride in them is merely flailing in a disgrace created by their own hands and tempted by the Zionist regime. Naturally, they must pay the price for it Now. Netanyahu is heading to the United States right now. He posted this image with his wife and said the following. I am on my way to Washington for a meeting with our friend, President of the United States, Donald Trump. This is my eighth meeting with him since he was elected president. More than any other international leader, it is a great privilege, but it is also a great responsibility. I am setting out on this mission with one clear goal, to ensure the security, strength and future of our dear state, Israel. Donald Trump's plan. Israel first over the United States of America as the people here are suffering. And the fact that he's taken eight visits to the United States should also be a massive red flag while the United States is now in never ending wars in the Middle East. Let's take a look at what's going on right now. Now, you know Saudi Arabia first attack the airport in Sana, which is the Houthi controlled area in Yemen. That was like a little bit more than a week ago. You remember that? And so the Houthis said, okay, you attacked the airport in Sana. We are going to unleash hell on Saudi Arabia. Now Donald Trump says, I'm going to unleash hell all the time. And then Donald Trump says, but they
- [08:21]
Ryan Reynolds
want to do a deal.
- [08:22]
Ron Filipkowski
They want to do a deal. When the Houthis say they're going to unleash hell, they've unleashed hell, okay? And they've destroyed multiple Saudi refineries. And they've started with this a few days back. Remember we've been covering that, We've been showing you that sentinel satellite footage from China where no one else was really focused on this in corporate news and talking about what was really going on. I mean some international news was, I want to give credit, but really here in the United States, not the case. Let's take a look at what's going on right now. Show the B roll of this. A massive column of smoke is ris, Saudi Aramco's Abquake oil processing facility, the world's largest and the eastern hub of Saudi Arabia's east west pipeline with multiple impacts in the past few hours. Now, Saudi Arabia lied and they claimed that we struck down all these drones. They said they were coming from Iraq. No, they were coming from Yemen and the Houthis were sending it. And you did not strike them down. Okay, maybe you struck a few down, but they had direct hits into the Aramco facilities and this is a massive, massive loss for Saudi Arabia. So with both ends now of the east west pipeline damaged and burning from these Houthi strikes, you have the Abquake facility. Today in the east you had the Yanbu port infrastructure. Remember the Yanbu port the other day that was hit by the Houthis. Saudi Arabia's Hormuz bypass export strategy has now been cut and destroyed. Do you see what Iran has done very surgically? They plan this level of climbing the escalation ladder if the United States would do this. So control the Strait of Hormuz, Iran control Bab el Mandab Strait, Red Sea, the Houthis part of the axis of resistance. And now Saudi Arabia, uae, I mean UAE thinks it's going to use Fujairah to try to do end run arounds. Saudi Arabia thinks it's going to construct these pipelines to do end run around the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab El Mandab. And you hear these like propaganda so called oil experts manipulating the market saying Iran doesn't have cards because over the next few years these Arab nations will build pipelines to go around the Strait of Removes. Well, that will take years. Okay, years, maybe a decade. But in any event, they're not because the Houthis in Iran are gonna constantly strike it. You think that they're just gonna let that happen while you continue to engage in these never ending wars against. What do you think is gonna happen? Take a look the satellite imagery. Imagery from today showing large fires, a heavy smoke plume and visible burn scars at the Saudi Aramco ABQUAC facility, the kingdom's largest crude processing plant. Saudi Arabia says its air defense intercepted these drones from Iraq. They just like make stuff up in Saudi Arabia. I mean it's very similar to, you know, that way we hear CENTCOM lie about everything is what we hear from these Arab nations now as well. We, we destroyed all of the drones. There may have been some residue that fell. There may have been some debris that fell. It's like now what are you talking about? Take a look right here. Another angle of Saudi Aramco's op cake. Refinery struck by drones. You'll see it right here. Now this is the world's largest crude oil stabilization plant processing 5 to 7% of global oil supply destroyed. Now just take a look at it. 5 to 7% of the global oil supply boom. And what, and our corporate news is like we're having peace talks. Things are progressing the way we want. Donald Trump says that Iran's begging for a deal and that one may happen soon. Take a look at the Sentinel 2 imagery captured today confirming the extensive fires and possible damage clearly visible right here from the Abquick oil facility. Also new strikes from Yemen hitting the Jazan, Saudi Arabian oil facility. Saudi Aramco's Jazan oil refinery still burning also more than two days after being struck by Houthi ballistic missiles. You could see it here in the Sentinel 2 imagery and Chinese Beijing's 3A satellite imagery capturing the Jazan oil refinery yesterday, still burning three days after the strikes. And then it was hit again today. And there were more refinery storage tanks that were hit as well today. That's what it looks like. Also show you Some more sentinel 2 imagery showing those burn scars over here at the ABC oil facility. Also more US MQ9 reapers being struck down. These reconnaissance strike drones being shot down in Iraq right now. You could see that, you could see that over there for yourself. I'll zoom in on what's happening in Russia right Now, where there was a major Duma meeting today, where it began, with the chairman of Russian State Duma Volodyn saying, russia, Putin victory over there. And Putin says Russia will achieve all its objectives in the special military operation. This is a historic stage, difficult and fateful for Russia today. This is understood not only by the deputies of the State Duma, not only the deputies of the State Duma, members of the Russian government, the presidential administration and regional leaders, but every ordinary citizen of Russia understands it as well. We are going through a period of struggle, and members of parliament represent their voters. That is, they represent the people of Russia. And I'm showing you that as well, because I'm letting you know Putin has no desire to resolve the war with Ukraine to get a ceasefire anytime soon. Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Iran. They see the United States security umbrella collapsing in the Middle East. They see the United States running out of its interceptors. And they see a great deal of vulnerability right now amongst anyone who was allied with the United States. These other powers see the weakness that Donald Trump shows, that our corporate news in the United States tries to hide. But it is very obvious to them what is going on right now. And so you, I want to cue you in on what's happening across the world right now because this is a dire time, especially with wars going on around the world with America being so utterly weak right now.

Olipop Advertiser
you hear that? That's the sound of feeling good. I've been reaching for Olipop a lot lately because it gives you that classic soda taste. But it's the feel good soda and I love that they've refreshed the look of their 6 gram fiber line. It's that same Olipop I already loved, full of flavor and digestive health support, just with a fresh new look that really shows off the feel good soda inside. I have the classic grape right here, which I have to say is definitely one of my favorites. But what makes it different? Olipop is high fiber, has less sugar than traditional soda, and it's made with real ingredients in a thoughtful formulation, including a functional ingredient blend that supports digestive health. It's one of those simple swaps that just makes you feel a little better about what you're drinking. If you want to give it a try, here is a great deal for you. Buy any two cans of Olipop in store and they will pay you back for one. It works on single cans of any flavor at any retailer. Just head to drinkolipop.com midas to clip your coupon that's drinkalipop.com midas. You can find Olipop in the soda aisle and with the chilled beverages at thousands of retailers nationwide, including Target and Walmart.

At the same time that Netanyahu is taking this trip to the United States, Israel's national security Minister Ben Gvir says the solution in Gaza is not to bring peace, not to bring in a peace council. There isn't even a basis of discussing any kind of dialogue. In my vision. I see neighborhoods in Gaza, neighborhoods for Israeli police, Israeli soldiers and Israeli military officers. Also, we're learning that from a report from cnn. Did we tell you this weeks ago that the actual casualty number from this catastrophic war in Iran, 600. It according to CNN. Six according to CNN, 600 of our service members injured, 18 killed in action. Although the Trump regime is now trying to reclassify the killed in action and injured as part of a new special operation, not Epic Fury, a new special operation. Sound familiar? Right there. And while Donald, by the way, I think the numbers 3 to 5x that I think we're talking about thousands and thousands of of casualties, injuries that are being covered up, serious traumatic brain injuries, very serious injuries I believe are being covered up by the Trump regime. Donald Trump is posting attacks on the Senate majority leader this morning. John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to leave town until it passes the Save America act or far better still, terminates the filibuster where the Republicans can quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of of including a full and deep throated Save America act, the budget and the ever looming debt ceiling disaster. 1929 Exclamation point. I want to point out two things. First off, what a weird perverted human being to refer to the Save America act as Deep Throat. Deep throated Save America Act. I mean, this guy is like a deranged lunatic. But also, do you notice what he says there? The ever looming debt ceiling disaster, 1929. He's talking about the Great Depression and he knows the Save America act is not going to pass and he knows that his policies will cause the Great Depression, another Great Depression. So what he sets up for is what he's done his entire life. He's now getting ready to find his next fauci. Who's he going to blame the economic catastrophe on 1929. And he'll say we were so close to prosperity, it was right there in reach. All we needed was abolish the filibuster, pass the Save America act and everything I dreamed about, everything I promised you would have been delivered. But now 1929 happened because of Congress and the Senate. I was right about everything. They were wrong. That's his fraud scheme. He's done it his whole life. He's bankrupted everything. He's positioning right now the blame as we fall deeper, deeper, deeper into economic catastrophe. Pay very close attention to what he is doing right now. And then he's got his MAGA sycophants out there going on their propaganda networks like Newsmax and Fox and so on. Newsmax, you got MAGA Republican Jack Bergman. What do you think stands and where do you think we stand in terms of the war in Iran and this maga Republicans like, well, you know, that's a multi thousand year old question. I'm going to blame Jimmy Carter. The United States has not been around thousands of years. The Iranian civilization has. So you don't need to say that. And you're going to blame Jimmy Carter. Why don't you blame the idiot in office? Why didn't you blame the psychotic idiot in office who's out there posting deranged AI images of himself bombing Carg island and engaged in war crimes while constantly saying I'm going to open the gates of hell, running out of our interceptors and then saying we're so close to making deal. Why don't you derange that? Why don't you go after that deranged psychotic individual? Here, play this clip to you, Congressman.

So three straight days the United States paused attacks on Iran. Naval blockade remains in full force holding strong. But behind closed doors it's believed diplomatic channels are still ongoing, that diplomats hope to bring the two sides back to the table. Where do you think things stand right now in terms of the war with Iran?
- [20:51]
MAGA Republican Congressman
Boy, that's, that's a multi thousand year old question. It really is. My first dealings with Iran and people from Iran literally started in the mid-60s when my best friend is a senior in high school, was an Iranian exchange student whose family was very prosperous as Iran was before 1979. And, and they not going to blame Jimmy Carter as a president, but the bottom line is he set that ball rolling when he allowed the radical Islamists to take over.

Ron Filipkowski
So we've been, then you've got this MAGA Republican Congress member Fallon saying, well I understand the Americans are suffering right now and affordability is a big issue. But that's, that's Joe Biden's fault. That's Joe Biden. All the Americans know that it's Biden's fault. Here, let's play this clip now.
- [21:40]
Goldbelly Advertiser
And again, I really quick it's about the messaging and about affordability, health care, housing. Poll after poll, Congressman, shows us that's where Americans are being hurt in the pocketbook the most. And then on top of that, you've got the energy shock. Real quick.
- [21:55]
MAGA Republican Congressman
Final thought. Sure.
- [21:57]
MAGA Republican Pat Fallon
Joe Biden and the Democrats really did that. You were talking about affordability that takes a couple of years to really kick in. And they spent trillions of dollars, really wasted trillions of dollars that caused a
- [22:07]
Ron Filipkowski
massive, really just going to blame everything on Biden forever. These people are so damn weak, so damn pathetic, huh? MAGA Republican Pat Fallon. What concerns me about the IRGC is that they're committed to watching their country disintegrate and rule from the ashes. Oh, it seems like you're referring to you and Donald Trump and the MAGA and what you're doing to the United States. Play this clip.
- [22:30]
MAGA Republican Pat Fallon
And what concerns me is the IRGC seems to be absolutely committed to watching their country disintegrate and not caring at all. So so long as they get to rule over the ashes. So they're trying to wait us out, get past the midterms in their view. Hopefully the Democrats will take over and cause President Trump, you know, domestic issue and domestic problems so he can't continue to prosecute the war.
- [22:54]
Ron Filipkowski
Well, then you've got this MAGA Republican this morning, Michael Roulley and Michael Rouley's all like, you know, we feel we're very good positioned right now for the election because we're going against the communists, the Mini Mom Donnies and the Communists. Here. Play this clip.
- [23:10]
Political Campaigner
I think affordability is always going to be the key. You know, in Ohio we're seeing eggs, you know, under a dollar. We're seeing bread hovering around a dollar. You know, gas is still in the $3 range. It's going to matter where, you know, we're in the pocketbook. But you know, I'm trying to help. Bernie Marino and I are trying to help get John Houston, Vivek Ramaswamy elected. So we're campaigning like a badger out there and we're seeing that the people, especially our base, they're very motivated communist movement. I think the Democrats had a bad playbook. You saw Nancy Pelosi last weekend saying, let's have this debate about communism in 2027. The people are going to be motivated. You know, they were counting on the Trump voters staying at home and the way they're acting. And this extreme push towards the farthest of the left, I think is going to motivate the base and Maybe we'll divide their base.
- [23:57]
Ron Filipkowski
Well, speaking of Mamdani, you know, he's always asked, now, can you explain your criticism of Netanyahu and do you think it's dividing the people of New York? It's like, I'm the mayor of New York. I'm trying to make life more affordable for people of New York. That's what I'm fighting for every day. And saying Netanyahu is a war criminal. It's an objective fact. There's a warrant for his arrest from the icc. It's an objective damn fact. Here, play this clip.
- [24:21]
MAGA Republican Congressman
Do you take those concerns to heart? And what is your plan to bring down those temperatures?
- [24:26]
New York Mayor Eric Adams
So I think to your point, when I make criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu, they are criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even, frankly, personal assessments. They were objective facts. And my responsibility as a New Yorker and as a mayor of this city is a responsibility to take care of each and every person who calls the city their home. And that is not based upon whether or not they agree with me, how they feel about me. My job is to make sure that they are safe, that they are thriving, and they continue to call this city home. And that's always going to be my North Star on how we can do that. Because this is an incredible city. And it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor.
- [25:08]
Ron Filipkowski
And then more friend Mamdani over here, when they, you know, the way the corporate news and the establishment tries to attack this guy, they're like, you know, do you think it's right for you to be there at the 911 memorial? And Mamdani's like, I'm going to be there with the survivors, with the people who lost loved ones, the first responders. And I stand in solidarity. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip.
- [25:33]
MAGA Republican Congressman
A number of people who are survivors of 911 are calling on you not to go to 911 memorial services.
- [25:41]
New York Mayor Eric Adams
I wonder how you feel about the fact that they're trying to keep you away. I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year's 911 commemoration, reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day felt by all of us who call this city home and frankly, by all of us who call this country home.
