Commercial Narrator (6:05)

Iranian proposal, please.

Donald Trump (6:06)

So they want to make a deal, but I don't. I'm not satisfied with it. So we'll see what happens. Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially, and they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied.

Ron Filipkowski (6:21)

Then Donald Trump claims, very strangely that right now we don't have a munitions problem that all of our generals and all of our admirals are warning about. Like, all of our top military brass are saying that America has expended about 50% of our munitions in this catastrophic war in Iran. But according to Donald Trump, the perpetual liar, we actually have double the inventory right now. Double the munitions. We've magically, in the past 60 days, since the wars began, we've increased our munitions. This guy lies about everything. Every word, sound, syllable is all a lie. Sure, Donald, we've increased our munitions. Makes. Makes a lot of sense. Right here. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (7:10)

There was a report this week, because of all the firepower required for Epic Fury, that there are people in the White House who are starting to worry about our inventory of bombs and missiles. Are you worried? No, no. We have more than we've ever had, actually, because all over the world we have inventory, and we can take that if we need it. But all over the world, we have tremendous amounts of inventory. The best. For instance, we're stocked and locked and loaded. Right now, we have more than double what we had when this started. But, you know, we're all over the world when many, many different countries, many different places, all packed up now. What happened is Biden came in like a stupid fool and he gave a lot of what we had to Ukraine, and $350 billion they spent. We don't do that, everybody has to pay. The European Union pays us. But Biden didn't get money. He got nothing. Got nothing. But he gave a lot of the inventory away. Now, relatively speaking, it's that, but it was a lot of inventory. He gave it to Ukraine. We built it up, but we have inventory from all over the world.

Ron Filipkowski (8:25)

It should be noted that everything that Donald Trump does is projection and confession, because I think the reality is that he was briefed on the fact that Iran has increased their weapons since the war began because they make it much cheaper. Their shah drones take $20,000 to make and sometimes less. They're also making lots of dummy drones. Their. Their weapons are actually cheaper. So per. That's what he was talking about. Anyway, back to the White House lawn where Donald Trump is getting. He's afraid of being stung by bees. Apparently, Donald Trump then says, regarding congressional authorization of the war, because the 60 days are basically up and he requires congressional authorization for his war. Frankly, he required congressional authorization from the outset. Donald Trump's like, yeah, I don't really need to do that. He goes, the Strait of Hormuz is flawless right now. It's a flawless straight. A flawless straight. Dude, what are you even talking about? Here? Play this clip.

Donald Trump (9:26)

Excuse me, Mr. President, it's day 60. Are you going to seek congressional authorization? No other country has ever done it. It's never been, as you know, most people consider it totally unconstitutional. Also, we had a ceasefire, so that gives you additional time, but no other country's done it. We're in the mid of a big victory. This is a victory like we haven't had since Venezuela. Okay? To be honest with you, we haven't had. But, you know, we have a country that lost its way. It really lost its way. That's our country in terms of the military. Now we have a great military. We're on our way to another victory, a big victory. And I don't think that it's constitutional what they're asking for. These are not patriotic people that are asking. You know when they say even. Even the losers, even the ones that say all the wrong things, admit that it's been amazing what we've done. The strait is totally shut down. It's flawless. It's totally 100% shut down now.

Ron Filipkowski (10:30)

Then he goes, all right, Iran, they don't have any leaders at all. There's zero leaders in Iran. They're so confused. They're leaderless. So that's why we can't make a deal. What do you mean they're leaderless? They have a new Ayatollah who's 51 or 52 years old, far younger than the old ayatollah who you killed. The Ayatollah Sunri now is also far more entrenched in power and far less likely to want to even reach any compromise. We know who their lead negotiator is. MB Galla Boff, the parliament leader. We've heard from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. We know who that leadership is. We know who their local, you know, police leadership is. We know who their foreign minister leadership is. Iraqi. The guy just lies about everything. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (11:14)

We've been dealing with Iran. They want to make a deal. They're not there. They're not with a. Not. They're sort of. They get close, and then a new group of people come in. They don't know who their leaders are. They have no idea who their leaders are, but they're very confused, and that's because of the success we've had militarily. They essentially have no military.

Ron Filipkowski (11:37)

Then a reporter says, well, what do you make of the news that Pakistan has opened up numerous land routes for Iran to avoid your naval blockade by bringing some of the oil and supplies just through these land routes that Pakistan is offering them? But you say you love Pakistan, so how do you square this? Trump's like, yeah, whatever. Pakistan's great Field Marshall Munir. Amazing. Amazing. Should be noted. Pakistan has given lots of money to Donald Trump's crypto endeavors. Lots of money to Trump's crypto endeavors. And Pakistan has said, unlike India, Pakistan said that Donald Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize. And so Donald Trump, big fan of Pakistan and whether or not Pakistan's actually providing these routes to Iran, you know, one way or another. It's just an odd thing, objectively, that Donald Trump would be applauding a way around the blockade. And he admits that it's a kind of a stunning admission, right? He's like, yeah, I know they're helping me get around the blockade, but I love Field Marshal Munira Pakistan guy. Okay, here, play this clip right here.

Donald Trump (12:49)

Pakistan has opened the ban draft in with Iran.

Commercial Narrator (12:53)

Did they consult you before opening it up to Iran? And are you aware of it?

Donald Trump (12:59)

That is a vicious be. I. I know everything about it. Yeah. I have great. I have great respect. Are you from Pakistan? I have great respect for Pakistan, Pakistan and for the field marshal and for the Prime Minister. Yeah, I know.

Ron Filipkowski (13:15)

Great for Pakistan. You're guys great for Pakistan. Then Donald Trump brags about his tariffs on Europe, new tariffs on Europe 25%. Right. That we're, we're back in the tariff loop. He's already declared the war one and now we're in tariff loop. But the war's won. But the war is also not one. It's one for the purpose of not needing congressional authorization apparently. But guy makes zero sense. And now we're talking about tariffs again. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (13:46)

Raised the tariffs on cars coming in from the European Union because the European Union was not adhering to the trade deal we have. So based on that now when they build their plants of which we're spending, they're spending over $100 billion. Four countries, not just the union. And when those plants hoping there won't be any tariffs. But we raised the tariffs because they were not as usual, they were not adhering to the agreement that we have. We have a trade deal with the European Union, they were not adhering to it. So I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks to 25%. That's billions of dollars coming into the United States and it forces them to move their factory production much faster.

Ron Filipkowski (14:31)

Donald Trump. Trump also makes another stunning admission here as well, saying that he's not happy with the Kurds of Iraq because we sent them all of these weapons and they refused to invade Iran. And that was part of Trump's plan. He goes, they just stole our weapons. So now Trump admitting that he's armed the Kurds, that will create diplomatic issues. Great, great admission, Donald. Here, play this clip then.

Donald Trump (14:54)

Mr. President, you said you send weapons to help Iranian demonstrator. Some source claim these weapons are in Suleimania in Iraqi Kurdistan. Do you confirm that? And as you said, they will pay a big price. I'm not happy with the delivery of the weapons. I'm not thrilled with it. But a small amount of weapons were sent and we'll see who has them. But I'm not happy with what happened with the Kurds. The Kurds did not deliver the weapons.

Ron Filipkowski (15:34)

With respect to prices, Donald Trump says when the war ends, prices will. I know prices. You know one he like doesn't even acknowledge that high prices exist right now. But he's like when the war ends, everything's going to drop. But Donald, you've said the war is ending. You said it's over. That's why you say you don't need congressional authorization now with the war powers authorization, 60 day expiration. Cuz you said the war is over, but now you're saying the war hasn't ended and wasn't three weeks ago you did a deal and the Strait of Hormuz was open. Let's just realize this guy lies about every damn thing. Play this clip.

Donald Trump (16:18)

We inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country. 48 years in the history of our country. And prices are down. When the war ends. Shouldn't be too long. They want to make a deal so badly, but they're not there yet. They're not there. In my opinion, they're not there. When the war ends, gasoline prices are going to tumble because there is so much right now on the seas already loaded into tankers, tankers that can't escape the strait. There is so much like record setting. But when the war ends, gasoline prices will go down to below what they were. I think it's very important. I think it's very important.

Ron Filipkowski (17:03)

And he loves King Charles so he wanted to finish up before going to Florida to tell everybody King Charles is a high quality person because Donald Trump believes in like bloodlines and royal blood. And so he's a high quality person. And Donald Trump's always been infatuated with the royal family. In fact, throughout the 80s and the 90s, Donald Trump would always lie that the royal family was talking to him and would visit his property. And the royal family would have to like, respond to Trump's lies in the press back in the 80s and the 90s saying, no, we don't. We're not going to mar a lago. We're not going to his. We don't have places in Trump Tower. He's a liar. You'll hear. Play this clip.

Donald Trump (17:46)

What about NATO? Did the king change your mind? King Charles? No, no, no. King and I had a great, he's just a great person. He's a high quality person. I love the job he did in Congress. He actually got the Democrats to stand. He' He's a wonderful person. She's a wonderful lady, a wonderful queen and we had a good time.

Ron Filipkowski (18:07)
