We have some major developments this evening, despite Donald Trump's public claims that the United States is looking for some type of negotiation with Iran, the actions taken by the United States military represent anything but it comes as Donald Trump's approval ratings continue to fall among the American electorate. And the Trump administration is facing hypocrisy allegations as Donald Trump once called mail-in ballots corrupt and called it mail-in cheating, and yet mailed in his own ballot in tonight's special election in Florida. And so the question is, why is the president decrying the same method by which he voted with this election cycle? Major developments right now that you need to be aware of, so make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe. And please consider subscribing to my sub-stack, click the link below to support my work as we build something bigger in this independent media landscape that really desperately needs media that is not beholden to this White House. And I promise you, I am not.
So I want to begin by talking about the latest regarding Iran because there are some significant developments this afternoon that you need to be aware of. And it starts with the fact that right now, the United States of America is deploying a large amount of troops to the Middle East, specifically Marines. Over the past two to three hours, the president of the United States has approved the deployment of key troops, key Marines, to the Middle East from the 82nd Airborne Union. Specifically, he has approved deploying over 1,000 troops from this division to the Middle East. The deployment includes headquarters staff, along with some ground forces, but not a full brigade. It's less than 1,500 soldiers, but this 82nd brigade specializes in rapid response parachute assault. When we need to go in with boots on the ground, this is what we use. Fox News confirmed that the major general, the commander for the 82nd Airborne Division, and his headquarters staff have been ordered as part of this deployment.
Speculation includes possible missions such as seizing Iran's carguiland or conducting other operations inside of Iran. And now we're learning according to the New York Times that maybe the reason why the United States still has not found that off ramp in this war is because of Saudi Arabia. According to reports, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Salman, who has cozyed up to the White House in recent months, especially since Donald Trump took office, well, apparently he sees this as a, quote, historic opportunity to change the landscape in the Middle East. And so he is pushing for the White House to continue this war with Iran, even as Americans sour on it. Because right now, Donald Trump's approval rating in the United States of America has fallen to its lowest point of its second term. Just 36% of those pulled a proof of his job as president. And it comes as Trump is now claiming
that the Iranian government handed over a prize of sorts and worth a tremendous amount of money. What that is, however, that's not fully clear at this hour. They're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present and the president arrived today. It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me would deal with the right people. Is that clearly related? No, it wasn't. No, clearly. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people. Because you know, you don't know. Because the leadership was killed, all gone. Come any all gone, as the expression goes, the past supreme leader.
And then the new supreme leader was racked up at a minimum racked up pretty good. And everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier. He hasn't talked about what this prize is. But if we know anything about this president, it's that you give him money, or you give him a prize, or you give him some recognition of sorts, and you curry favor with him. Seems like Iran, at least here, has learned its lesson pretty clearly. That's not all he said. Take a listen. I ended. I can't tell you for sure. You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this. This war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. I mean, the New York Times. You read the New York Times. It's like we're not winning a war where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing. And we literally have planes flying over to Iran and other parts of their country.
They can't do a thing about it. He has declaring victory for what appears to be the 10th or the 11th time, and yet at the same time, we're sending these specialized airborne units to the Middle East, as we speak, and bombing is still happening, right? The United States hasn't just stopped complete bombing in Iran. Now, according to Israeli media, they're looking for a one-month ceasefire of sorts to talk through this 15-point proposal that Donald Trump is putting forth, but it's not like this war is ending anytime soon. Here's what else Donald Trump had to say. The deal Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to fund all but enforcement operations of ICE to get those TSA agents repaid and open up the rest of the department. Would you say that? Well, I don't want to comment until I see the deal, but as you know, they're negotiating a deal. I guess they're getting fairly close, but I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it. Any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it. It comes as some airports now
are seeing wait times in the United States of America of upwards of five hours. Now, something else peculiar happened. Well, Donald Trump voted by mail in Florida for tonight's special election. Only problem is, listen to what he has to say, just 24 hours ago. You know, brought to my attention today that we're the only country that doesn't, that there's mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating. We got to do something about it all and it's part of home-line security. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating, but he just used it. Comes as his approval rating, especially among young men, which helped win him the White House, it's falling. Donald Trump and Republicans won in 2024 because of support from mail voters. The only way they can win, given the gender gap in this country, is support from mail voters, and mail voters are abandoning Donald Trump. Take a look here. This gives the game away. Okay, Trump's standing with men. In November of 2024,
he beat Kamala Harris among them by 13 points, by 13 points. Look at where he is now on his net of approval rating. Down he goes. It's a 20-point shift away from Donald Trump. He is now seven points underwater at this particular point among men. I think it is very difficult for Republicans to do well in this midterm cycle. If Donald Trump is underwater with men as my uncle once wrote, where the boys are, where the men are, they are underwater when it comes to Donald Trump. Okay, so that's overall men, but what about young men who were really influential? Yes, young men. Of course, there was a massive shift to Donald Trump from 2020 to 2024, among young men, and looked right here. Whoa, yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes. Men under the age of 25 on Trump. He won him in 20... Yikes, indeed. So we'll see what happens. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Comment below, and let me know what you think. Like, comment, share, subscribe to my subs. Click the link below.
