Good morning everyone. Another important news update this morning. I watched Donald Trump's address to the nation last night so that you didn't have to. I told you yesterday if there was nothing new, I wasn't going to give you an update last night. And while there really wasn't much new other than the fact that Trump is looking for this off ramp in this war while threatening to send Iran back to the Stone Age. In other news, though, Donald Trump's administration is facing internal pressure right now. Trump is asking advisers whether or not he should fire Attorney General Pam Bondi, whether he should replace DNI Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. And it comes as he is making remarks to the American people privately that were now released publicly, showing that he says that he doesn't have time or the ability to focus on things like daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, social service programs that help so many Americans. Why doesn't he have the time? Well, because we're in a war in Iran. Make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe. The more you like, the more people see and subscribe to my substack.

It was about 20 minutes and it was a recap of a lot of his greatest hits in a lot of ways. As many people pointed out online. It could have been an email because there wasn't a new announcement. He didn't announce that we're leaving NATO. He didn't announce that we're putting boots on the ground. He just tried to prosecute the war in Iran in a way that he arguably should have done before the war in Iran started. If he wanted to convince the American people that going to war with Iran was a good idea, he should have given this address to the nation two months ago. But now, after the American people have rebuked the president regarding polling on the war in Iran, he's trying to overcompensate and do something he should have done a long time ago. Now, this was the main takeaway from the speech Back to the Stone Age. Trump, Hexaf and the United States military are actively calling on America's military to send Iran back to the Stone Age. This would be a war crime because sending Iran back to the Stone Age would represent bombing Iran's power plants, power bombing Iran's electricity, bombing Iran's desalination plants, preventing the Iranian people from having water, from having electricity. That would be a modern day genocide. That would be a war crime. But that is what they are advocating for following last night's speech. And while Trump is facing increased criticism because he is talking about the war in Iran, while acknowledging that Americans actually want something different. Right. We want Medicare, Medicaid, daycare, but he's saying we can't actually do that, spend

any money for daycare because the United States can't take care of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We're fighting wars. We can't take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare. And they should pay for it, too. They should pay. They have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up. But it's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things, they can do it on a state basis. You can't do it on a federal. We have to take care of one military protection, we have to guard the country. But all these little things, all these little scams that have taken place, all you have to, you have to let states take care of them, Russell. And you have to do it, you

have to let states take care of it. No Medicare, no Medicaid, because we're fighting a war in Iran. But the truth is the American people want Medicare, want Medicaid, not a war in Iran. That Donald Trump is facing internal issues in the White House specifically with two of his senior advisors, Tulsi Gabbard and Attorney General Pam Bondi. And, well, it's not looking too good. And I'm sorry for the pause momentarily. My wi fi cut out briefly, so just excuse that minute where I was frozen. But Donald Trump is facing internal issues. He, he is considering firing Attorney General Pam Bondi right now, replacing her with the EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin. He's also considering removing Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. He would remove Pam Bondi because of the way she's handled the Epstein files. He would remove Tulsi Gabbard because she disagrees with him on the war in Iran. And so that's where we're at right now, he is potentially having a major shakeup in his cabinet. And so what is he going to do? He's going to compare himself to Jesus.

But he's not the only one making this comparison. His spiritual advisor is too.
Trump's Spiritual Advisor
Share this sultan and pray over President Trump. Jesus taught us so many lessons through his death, burial and resurrection. He showed us great leadership. Great transformation requires great sacrifice. And Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. But it didn't end there for him and it didn't end there for you.

In essence, Donald Trump is being compared to Jesus while simultaneously claiming that the United States has won a war in Iran. Is also currently winning the war. Needs help from our allies to win the war. Doesn't need actual help to win the war. All to destroy a nuclear program that he already claims he destroyed last year.
Donald Trump (Speech)
Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. This short term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers in neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons. They will use them and they will use them quickly. It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain and instability worse than we can ever imagine. The United States has never been better prepared economically to confront this threat. You all know that we built the strongest economy in history. We're going through it right now. The strongest in history in one year.

You tell me. You tell me. You tell me. I don't know. I mean, I think that the President's message is just a bit off, just given the fact where polling is, where the American people are, and where the country's heading.

This episode of The Parnas Perspective unpacks a chaotic moment in American politics, spotlighting an unconvincing presidential address, potential high-profile firings in Trump’s cabinet, radical wartime rhetoric, and the surreal invocation of religious imagery. With public polling turning against the war and key White House players at risk, Parnas underscores the volatility and unpredictability defining the current administration’s approach on both foreign and domestic fronts.
