Donald Trump’s recent actions and statements reveal a troubling pattern of aggressive and erratic foreign and domestic policy. In a Fox News interview, he threatened to completely destroy Iran with nuclear weapons, repeating a long-standing rhetoric that has drawn widespread concern. He also claimed to be in a "deciding mode" about when to launch such an attack, framing it as a choice between destruction, economic collapse, or diplomacy. Meanwhile, his administration has pushed forward on politically motivated projects, such as converting a historic monument near Arlington into a military base featuring drones and snipers—despite public outcry and historical sensitivities. Additionally, Trump has attempted to rebrand artificial intelligence (AI) by replacing "artificial intelligence" with "superior" or "extreme intelligence," a move seen as both absurd and dangerous, especially given a prior AI-generated false report that nearly escalated a military conflict with China. His administration consistently deflects public concerns about inflation and affordability by blaming President Biden, ignoring widespread public sentiment. This disconnect between his actions and the American people’s priorities, combined with his focus on personal legacy and spectacle, underscores a leadership style perceived as detached, reckless, and out of touch—contrasting sharply with the nation’s need for stable, responsible governance.
Alright folks, I want to break down a couple of stories for you that have already taken place today involving Donald Trump and his administration and transparently, they're both crazy in their own way. I mean, does this guy ever take a day off from doing something stupid? You know, it's a Sunday. Isn't he supposed to be playing golf on taxpayer dollars and hanging out with Natalie Harp? But no, apparently Trump can do those things and also ruin the country at the same time. So I want to break down these stories. Let's get into it. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about it all. And let's dive in. So Donald Trump in a Fox News interview this morning, he called into the network, floated obliterating an entire country in this chilling Fox News call. And I'm sure you can take an accurate guess as to what country he's talking about with this threat. Donald Trump has laid out his plans to take dramatic action against Iran if a deal isn't struck imminently. Now we've heard this before from Donald Trump where he says, if we don't get a deal, I'm going to eliminate Iran. I'm going to totally nuke them. Like for example, this is a post he made all the way back in July saying a thousand missiles are locked in loaded and aimed at Iran with thousands of more to immediately follow should the Iranian government act on threat, pronounced in many corners of the globe to assassinate me orders have already been given and the US military is ready, willing, and able for a one year period of time subject to extension to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran. Praise be to Allah. And he's done this a number of times where he says we're ready to just completely obliterate the nation. He's threatened to target civilian infrastructure and more. So I imagine this is probably an empty threat with Donald Trump as it has been before. But nonetheless, this is the way he's conducting foreign policy via Fox News interviews. Not exactly reassuring. Fox News chief foreign correspondent Tray Yinx appeared on Fox and Friends Weekend Sunday following a conversation with Donald Trump. And he's saying, quote, I just spoke with Trump about the situation with Iran. He said from a phone call from Tel Aviv, he tells Fox News in a decide. He's in a deciding mode and that very big things are going to be happening in the not so distant future. Yinx shared that quote, the president described the current choices on the table as wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal. He added, my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up, they better behave. Now the UN General Assembly is taking place in New York next week with the Iranian president confirmed to be in attendance asked if he'd be willing to meet with the president at the summit. Trump said that he'd be probably open to it, but describe this weekend as no different from any other weekend despite the UN being right there. So this, this quote right here is especially concerning. Trump is full of empty threats. But when he's saying, my question is, if and when do I blow up the entire nation? That might be something to keep an eye out on. That seems like Donald Trump is not only wanting to continue this war, but wants a wider war because it's already expanded. We already have the Houthis shooting missiles at Saudi Arabia right now and Donald Trump really isn't doing anything about that. We already have the Houthis taking over more land around the straight of four moves and Donald Trump isn't doing anything about that. The war is already expanding and Trump instead of trying to de-escalate and negotiate and actually get a deal, which I have no confidence that he ever would. He's just like, you know, let's just blow up Iran. Let's just eliminate the entire nation and kill, you know, however tens of millions of innocent people in the process of doing that. I mean, it's guys a total piece of crap, but that's not, you know, anything new. Then the other story that I wanted to cover for you, which feels equally as stupid, but just in a different way, is, you know, this arch that Donald Trump wants to build in DC around Arlington National Cemetery and right across from the Lincoln Memorial. It's a beautiful stretch that area in DC Trump wants to ruin it with his stupid arch. But he has apparently agreed to turn that into like a military base, the arch. Like I'm not joking, he said in a statement today at seven in the morning, by the way. So I guess he woke up and came up with this idea. I don't know. He said, at the stronger quest of the United States military and for national security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent triumphal arch planned since the Civil War area, era. No. Many years ago, at the receptive circle, adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge into a top grade military complex slash triumphal arch to house store and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones plus snipers on both the roof and plaza areas and additionally, have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the world out of the 59 top cities and capitals Washington, DC is the only one in the world that doesn't have an arch. So it's a jealousy thing. That's what it is. He sees like the arch they triumph in Paris, for example, and he's like, you know, I want one of those. And he wants it to be dedicated to him. You know, he's actually openly admitted that this is dedicated to him. And we've gotten reporting previously. We talked about it on the show that Donald Trump is in legacy building mode. So he's really a nervous about how future generations are going to perceive him as, imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Jelly mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all day comfy grip, no tightness, no stickiness, no residue, just clump to a hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Maybe it's Maybelline. President, I can give him a spoiler alert. It's not good. And so he thinks by building this arch and turning it into a military facility that he's ridden of all the sins, you know, okay, great, wonderful. The arch shouldn't happen. I hope it won't happen. There will be a bunch of lawsuits. And even if it does happen, then it should be torn down by a future Democratic president. I really believe there should be nothing in DC or any part of this country that references Donald Trump, but certainly not in our nation's capital. But yeah, he's just jealous that other places have an arch. And I don't even know if this is true that, you know, 59 other cities and capitals, whatever have arches. But nonetheless, he's just jealous. He wants an arch for himself, which is, you know, just really, really petty and stupid. And so on social media today, he is now running a poll, a poll among his followers, where he says, this is, you know, he really loves AI recently. He loves a data center. He said supreme intelligence, probably because of its relationship to the Supreme Court is losing badly to both superior and extreme intelligence. Therefore, we are going to take supreme intelligence out, deleting it as a qualifier and let you vote for the final two, superior intelligence or extreme intelligence. A fresh vote begins now. And what Donald Trump is doing here is trying to rebrand AI. He doesn't like the label AI. He doesn't like artificial intelligence. And so a big priority for Donald Trump right now. And I can't believe I'm saying this because again, it is so stupid is rebranding AI. And so the options according to him are superior intelligence or extreme intelligence. This is the same AI, by the way, we talked about it on the show yesterday, the same AI that almost got us into a war with China. Is that superior or extreme intelligence? We had that report where in the Middle East, AI, a report that was generated by the US military, somebody used like a chatbot to generate it was convinced that there were nuclear weapons on this Chinese vessel in and around Iran. And that the United States needed to board that vessel and take it out essentially. That was a report that was generated by AI. It was widely disseminated in the military. And we almost boarded that vessel until somebody was like, this is obviously AI generated and completely false. And that's the only reason it didn't happen. But I don't think that to me sounds like superior intelligence or extreme intelligence. I don't know why a big priority for the president of the United States right now is rebranding. And the final thing I want to rebranding AI, that is, the final thing I want to highlight for you is that as all of this is taking place, this Donald Trump is rebranding AI or saying he wants to wipe out Iran or talking about the arch. His administration is blaming Joe Biden for inflation. He's focused over here on his pet projects. The American people are focused on things over here like costs, affordability, the Epstein file cover up, whatever it is. The American people are focused on this, he's focused on this. And the Trump administration, when they're pressed with American's concerns, they're like, no, no, no, no, we don't do that here. You have to take that up with Joe Biden. It's just so stupid. Take a look at this. This is Kevin Hassett. That's all I'm saying, Peter. I'm not criticizing you as being part of this. And I totally get it, look, bring in drug prices down, great, very high down, great, all time high, seems like every couple days. But would you admit that when you walk out of the White House, you ask anybody, somebody from in town, somebody from out of town, they would say that they think stuff is too expensive right now. Would you agree with that? Well, sure. We had 20% inflation out of Joe Biden and if you look at the last three months and annualize it, inflation is almost flat and so there's been a big reduction in inflation, but prices are higher because of the huge inflation that we inherited from Joe Biden, but inflation is way down. Again, over the last three months, we're right at the Fed's target and it's dropped sharply despite what's going on in the Middle East. No, so I mean, all of this is not true to be clear, but inflation is not way down. We are not at the Fed's target. The Fed just raised interest rates, Kevin Hassett. So obviously we're not at their targets, but the point is Trump is really just doing his own thing. Now he's gone into, I'm going to do whatever I want to do mode. I don't care about what the American people want and his administration, when pressed with these issues, it's just like, well, we don't know why don't Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, they just say whatever name comes to mind and whatever name they can use that day. It's really embarrassing stuff. But yeah, these are just some stories I wanted to cover for you, keeping you in the loop on this idiot, you know, it's so painful listening to the failures of this administration every day. When we know that we can be an amazing country, we can be a great country with great leadership, but we're just not.
not that at this moment in time. So I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching.
