State Regime Media which calls itself Fox News has lost all control as the American people have completely turned against everything regarding Donald Trump, especially in including his unlawful war against Iran. Fox is a freaking out right now and you have Laura Ingraham, Jesse Waters, Sean Hannity, the whole bunch of Trump regime propagandists desperately trying to tell its audience things are going great. So let me show you what went down. This is a full collapse of state regime media which calls itself Fox before our eyes. So Laura Ingraham, one of Donald Trump's chief propagandist on regime media says, folks,

what we're seeing in the Middle East and what we're going to see when Donald Trump visits China is Trump has saved the world. Trump has saved the world everybody. This is what they're going with here play this clip. Now the brilliance of the Trump plan to have strategic control of key waterways. This cannot be understated and the press doesn't seem to get this so let me help him tonight. I'm talking the straight of Malaka in Indonesia, the Panama Canal, remember China wanted it, and now preventing Iran from choking off the straight of horn moves with an eventual nuclear threat also hanging over our heads. So if bad actors manage to take control in any of those key oil routes, it would be a living nightmare that wouldn't end, frankly. So it looks like Donald Trump, his team, the US military and the American taxpayer may have saved the world with at operation epic fury.

Why do we think China has been scrambling to fill its own oil reserves? By the way, obviously President Xi, new Iran would eventually try to take the straight of horn moves. Wow. Wow. The propaganda there is outrageous, but then Laura Ingraham is not done because she says, with this operation, epic fury, which I call Epstein fury or the Jeffrey Epstein war, just a total disaster though. She goes, what this did? This opened the eyes of Californians to see the real bad guys, radical environmentalists. What Laura? What? Here, play this clip. So I'm going to make a prediction tonight. And all is said and done, operation epic fury may, and I say may actually have the added benefit of opening the eyes of Californians to how radical environmentalists have destroyed the oil industry there and with it affordable energy.

Well, look, as far as this war is concerned, and Laura Ingraham says, look, to all those golf nations out there, to all those Arab nations, let's do it together. Now is the time for the US to lead a multinational golf security force to go in there and to attack Iran together. Laura, Laura, I thought you said that we've won and we've obliterated and we've decimated Iran. So now we need the Arab nations to form this massive coalition. Why would the Arab nations want to do that when Donald Trump during a mediation to resolve this war with Iran a few weeks back when the US picked the mediator, the foreign minister of Oman, when there was a deal in principle, the US without giving warning to the Arab nations.

That even really giving warning to the State Department and our embassies in the region that the US struck Iran because the US said that Netanyahu was going to strike first. So we had to do it with Netanyahu or else there could be repercussions if we didn't do this with Netanyahu. So all the Arab nations then got attacked, which they were warning the US would happen. So Laura, why do you think that these golf nations want to help the US? The US has done irreparable harm in the region. And also the US has exposed that it's defense infrastructure for these Arab nations. They don't work because despite your propaganda, what we're seeing take place night after night, day after day is Iran striking targets within these Arab nations with $20,000 Shahid drones and other inexpensive weapons that the Thad and Patriot systems are just being overwhelmed with.

Maybe let me unexplained to you what the hell is really happening in the region. And the fact that now the Islamic Republic is still in tech, the the Ayatollah is now moaned Java, the son of the old Ayatollah, who's deadlier than the old Ayatollah Khomeini and things are much, much worse. Oh, and by the way, Laura, with your horrible propaganda and the Trump regime's despicable conduct and blowing up elementary schools and blowing up hospitals and attacking civilians and saying all the Iranian people are like maniacs and nasty and menacing whatever Donald Trump's been saying you've actually united the Iranian people with the Ayatollah against the United States right now and you've united the Shiaid community throughout the Middle East. And now there's massive sectarian issues throughout the entire Middle East. So Laura, I actually hold you responsible for this as well, regime propaganda. You're play this clip. Well, look, as far as this war is concerned, one of two things is true.

Now after this momentary blip, the US working with our golf partners can keep the straight of form moves open, reopen it to ensure that there are no more disruptions in oil tank or movement, which will smooth things out with the global economy or with all of our military might, with all of our influence, the US can't force golf traffic to move and things remain balled up there for a long time. Now I think this option is highly unlikely, but at any rate, it too demonstrates how critical it was for President Trump to act when he did because if Iran is so much more powerful than even the establishment, all its experts thought, imagine how much worse this situation would be if Iran had a nuclear weapon and could grind traffic to a halt in the straight at any time it wanted. And it merely reconfirms how disastrous the Iran policy was of both Biden and Obama. They should never have let Iran get this powerful.

But Trump was not about to idly sit by and watch as Iran developed nuclear weapons to threaten all of us and then could further threaten us with economic armageddon and the golf. Okay, but here's what Laura says. This is what sociopath say. Laura and Graham goes, but look, what this showed, what our invasion of Iran actually demonstrates is how deadly Iran is because we exist, what she goes, she goes, we exposed how lethal and deadly they are because in response, we see what they've done. So we should thank Donald Trump for showing that Iran was able to project this power in the Middle East and attack all its nations and block the strait of her mose and disrupt oil and long term destroy a lot of these Arab nations part of who the hell is going to go to guitar right now in Doha, who the hell is going to go to Abu Dhabi right now or Dubai, right? You destroyed these cities, but good work, Donald.

Really good. You get a participation trophy, Donald, idiots here play this clip. So now it's time for the US to lead a multinational golf security force, Bahrain, Gutter, Amman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, to force Iran's hand here, either they drop their threats and attacks or they truly will lose everything. And of course, until this shakes out, the disruptions in the global markets are real and may be painful. But the long term benefits again are incalculable and only President Trump had the brains and frankly the guts to see the entire battlefield. Now let me move over to what they're saying on the Hannity propaganda program. Hannities like and Donald Trump with a brilliant decision, unlike Joe Biden, Donald Trump is planning to release oil from the strategic reserve. Powerful move. You're going to drain our strategic reserve in half.

By the way, he could have filled it up when oil prices were low. So now he's going to drain our strategic reserves by half the amount that's being released over the next 120 days when there's like 20 million barrels of oil a day. He's going to release like one million, which is going to do like literally nothing while draining our oil reserves. And while the price per barrel of oil is going up dramatically. So the art of the deal, we are watching how Donald Trump bankrupted his casinos. As I was warning, we're watching that in real time right now, except we are all the casinos. And people like Hannity are still out there punzy, scheming away with Donald Trump. And this despicable regime, because that's what state regime media does. Watch what Hannity does here. Play this clip. Now as we mentioned, President Trump said today, he is planning to release oil from the strategic reserve. And that's exactly what the reserve is meant for to respond to a temporary shortage brought

on by extraordinary events. But to Joe Biden, it was a political tool used to bring down gas prices. Oh, ahead of the midterms in 2022. And then even worse, he never replenished the oil that he took. And he left it really, really at historic lows. Biden wanted U.S., you know, by the way, he wanted all of you drive an electric vehicle anyway. Hey, everyone. Ben Mysel is from the Midas Touch Network here. Let's be real owning a handgun for self defense as I do comes with serious responsibility.

Oh, yes. And Jesse Water brings on Kevin McCarthy. And Kevin McCarthy says, yeah, people may be upset that the price of oil is going up. But that's the price we pay for having such a great leader. We must make sacrifices to dear leader Donald Trump is what he says here. Watch for yourself. Let's play it. Now, domestic politics, people will get upset. The price of oil is up, but will it sustain that? I don't believe so. The worst thing we could do is leave this before the job is done. Every single day, Iran's capability is decreasing. And if we left too early, then they would use the straight continually to keep the price of oil high. And then McCarthy's like, but I want you to know this right here. If you're looking long term, history wise, maybe things look bad now, but Donald Trump is going to be praised for this. You see, he's reshaping the world order right now, McCarthy.

No one ever accused McCarthy of being a smart man. Kevin, he's reshaping the world order right now to have America as a loser. The way he's been a loser, his whole damn life, the guy bankrupted most of the companies he touched. He is a loser, loser, loser. And he's turned the once great and powerful United States into a Trump loser right now. That's a real problem. We need to stop this. We need to remove and impeach this guy because we look like the biggest buffoons in the like Trump looks. This is embarrassing. You're playing this clip. Well, right now, if you look at for the long term, history wise, President Trump is going to be praised for this because I don't think any other president would do it before or into the future. And it's changed geopolitics. For one, if Iran was able to be able to have a nuclear weapon, there would be 40 countries then because everybody would have one and the world would be unsafe.

If you look at the rise of not just China, but the crinks, China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, China needs 11 million barrels of oil every single day. They get a large portion from Russia, but a bigger portion from Iran, even with the sanctions they get a discount and Venezuela. So this is reshaping the world and actually making it safer. Then Kevin McCarthy says, though, here's the thing. Here's the thing, everybody. Think about it like this. Think about it like this later this month, Donald Trump's going to be in China and he's going to stare down Xi Jinping and he's going to say, gee, you're not in charge. This is America's world. What, what cosplay weirdo world do y'all live in that you think that's what's going on? Xi Jinping and China's never been more powerful. America, we've removed our sad missile systems and our patriot systems from South Korea, which were promised to them. We are not making good on our obligations to help Taiwan.

Billions of dollars that Congress approved Trump is not giving to Taiwan. You have Kim Jong-un in North Korea doing ballistic missile and other missile tests right now, social media posting about it, troubling and mocking the United States right now. You've had Xi Jinping never more powerful internationally right now. You have the United States exposed completely, but yes, Donald Trump's going to look strong. By the way, Xi Jinping is out there mocking Donald Trump on social media right now. The Chinese embassy is posting all of these videos, these cartoons that are mocking the United States. Also China's putting out statements how disorganized the state department is in even planning details regarding Trump's visit to China. By the way, do you think that visit's going to even go down? Let's go and look. If it goes down and it may go down still, it is going to look so embarrassing right now

for the United States because Trump is so thirsty to be there. Play this clip. Think about this. Later this month, he will be in China. Having changed the course of Latin America, having making America economy stronger, securing our border and going into China saying, you can't run the world anymore. They're going to be able to lay out the red carpet and say, we want to reshape the world and work with you more than we had in the past. Yeah, that trip, he's coming with a lot of clout. No doubt about that. Kevin McCartney, thank you so much. But what they're going with on Fox is, well, Trump took a risk for you. Trump is risking it all for you. You have Senator Cotton saying the strategic preserves, petroleum reserve is not supposed to be used to help Democrats in an election. What are you even talking about here, play this clip? Now, Sean, I think the question answers itself. The strategic petroleum reserve was literally built because of conflict in the Middle East.

After the Arab oil embargo in 1973, we decided as a nation to create that reserve in part because we were so dependent upon Middle Eastern oil. It's not supposed to be used to help the Democrats in an election because their own runaway spending had created record inflation. And then finally, you have Senator Cotton on state regime media and he's out there saying, President Trump said in January to all those protesters, help is on the way. Help is on the way, folks. We did it, Operation Epic Fury, as we said on the Midas Touch Network, tens of thousands of Iranians were slaughtered in January as a result of Trump not taking action then giving them false hope back then. And then in Operation Epic Fury, Donald Trump bombed an elementary school of little girls killed 150 little girls, the Trump regime torpedoed with a submarine, a Navy vessel that

was leaving an India parade that was unarmed off the coast of Sri Lanka. Trump and Netanyahu have bombed the oil depots in Iran creating a nuclear winter like clouds over Iran. We've hit desalination plants in Iran and we've turned even people who were sympathetic to the US and against the Ayatollah into at least being not supportive of the US who are now rallying around Iranian national identity because Trump played this entirely wrong. He's a war criminal and this is utterly despicable. Here's what Cotton had to say though, let's play this. Let me ask you about Prime Minister Netanyahu's post on X yesterday. Your dreams will become a reality. When the time is right and that time is fast approaching, we will pass the torch to you. Be ready to seize the moment.

That echoes what President Trump said at the beginning of this conflict, that this was for future generations. He didn't want to leave our kids and grandkids with a nuclear arm to ran or one in the near future. Then he said, be ready. It might be seize the moment. It might be a one in a generation opportunity. Is that moment coming and how do you interpret it? Well, Sean, we can certainly hope and pray for it. I think it would be not just good for the Iranian people, but good for America and the cause of stability and peace if you had a different regime in Iran. As President Trump said in January, help is on the way. Help is arrived in the form of epic theory. And then finally, Laura and Grim gives her final pitch, which is, look, look everybody. Maybe bad, bad right now, but the benefits in the long term will be incalculable.

The best is yet to come here playing this clip. And of course, until this shakes out, the disruptions in the global markets are real and maybe painful. But the long term benefits, again, are incalculable. And only President Trump had the brains and frankly the guts to see the entire battlefield. No, okay, just want to pull back for just one moment here. This is what Ponzi schemers do, right? It goes from day one, it's going to be great. Watch what the tariffs are going to do. It's going to be amazing day one, this day one, that we're going to do it. All right, second quarter, all right, third quarter, all right, fourth quarter, all right, 2026, all right, 2027, all right, some indefinite time in the future. Things are going to be amazing. It's the formula though of a Ponzi schema, right? Because the Ponzi schema keeps on robbing you, robbing eventually, you're like, I want my money, show me the money, show me, let me have it. I don't believe you know more. I think you're a liar. And then what happens? Give me another way, give me another way, give me a week, give me a week, give me a month, give me a year, I need a little more time, just a little more time.

Please, please, please, please, please, con artist, scammers, frauds, Trump, sexual predators, demons. It's the best word to describe these people, frankly, all of these people I've just showed, they're demonic. They're demons. They're deeply, deeply evil people who are, who are also stupid. They're evil, stupid demons and they've harmed our country and our future generation so damn much and they make me so damn angry just about how awful they've been and it's so bad what's going on in the Middle East right now. And across the world, every worst fear about this regime is that I think multiples of
