Trump gets NIGHTMARE NEWS... ON FOX!

What's worse than a forever war in the. Middle East, is a forever war right here. on our streets. Just down the road 9/11, the Iranians want to bring that war. here. They want to create a global. caliphate of Sharia law and kill all of. us. And that's not a theory, that's what. they actually tried to do every day. So. I think we have to remember that, and. you know, having our troops fight them. there is far better than us fighting. them here. >> It's a good thought there. >> That is almost word for word what they. told us when we were sold the war in. Iraq. Remember in 2003 they said if we.

don't go in invade Iraq, take down. Saddam Hussein, if we're not fighting. them there, we're going to wind up. fighting them here. And that war in Iraq. made America weaker. This war on Iran is. making America weaker. Folks at home, look 6 months ago, at least where I live in Michigan, you. didn't have to get up in the morning and. worry about the Strait of Hormuz. You. didn't have to know where it was. It. wasn't affecting your life. Now, folks. from my neighbors in Michigan to people. coast to coast in this country are. paying more for gas, more for diesel, mortgage rates are going up. And of.

course our tax dollars are going into a. war where it's pretty clear. even the best case scenario is going to. have us worse off than where we were. Cuz a year ago the Strait of Hormuz was. open. Now we're fighting to try to. figure out somehow how to get it open. again. So back to that scenario you you. invited me to think about before where. I'm. somehow advising President Trump. I. guess the other thing I would say is. like. listen to the intelligence a little. more. Listen to the same generals and. and the intelligence that told you, "Hey, if you do this, they might close. the Strait of Hormuz." And he said, "Oh, that'll never happen." And then he did,

and then that's what happened. Maybe he. should pay more attention to that. And. most of all, pay more attention to the. American people who do not want an. escalation of the Iran war. >> Okay. It is bad enough that Trump has to. endure criticism on the other networks, but there is no world in which Trump. isn't watching Fox News and seeing Pete. Buttigieg skewer him in front of his own. audience. For a guy who demands total. loyalty among his sycophants, watching. Buttigieg pierce his insular little. bubble is not going to land well. So here Fox host Sandra Smith tries to.

corner Pete by surfacing this tired new. excuse that's being floated on the right. that sure prices might be higher, sure. gas might be more expensive, sure farms. might be going under as the cost of. fertilizer surges, but of course our top. priority has to be that Iran must not. have a nuclear weapon, and that's. apparently been our top priority over. the last 47 years. And even though Trump. campaigned expressly against new wars in. the Middle East, now we're all just. supposed to sit here and pretend that.

yes, obviously it's a good thing that. we're at war again in the Middle East. But look, Republicans need to defend. Trump somehow, so this is what they came. up with. And if you're wondering whether. the 47-year war is going to be. successful branding, is going to stick, is going to win people on the right. over, take a look at what Caroline. Sunshine, who is a Republican who. literally worked in Trump's White House, said to Scott Jennings on CNN. >> Guardrails for what? To go back to a. world where we're all rainbows and. unicorns with the Iranians? They've been. at war with us for 47 years.

>> for 47 years. >> 47 years? Okay. >> Nobody has been rainbows and unicorns. with the Iranians. >> Why didn't I Why didn't I Why didn't I. learn about the 40 Why did Why I'm. sorry. The first time I've ever heard. about the 47-year Iran war was like this. year. Like we don't teach about the. 47-year war with Iran in school. Like. it's insulting to actual conflicts that. have been going on. >> It's insulting to my intelligence that. you have no idea what you're talking. about. We've been at war with Iran for. 47 years. >> How many Americans have they killed on. US soil in 47 years in the war that. we've had? >> They have killed thousands of Americans.

They have maimed American soldiers. They. have attacked American allies, and they. have been at war. with the West for ever since this regime. came to power, and it is their intention. to build a nuclear weapon and use it on. us and use it on Israel and use it on. the West. That is their intention, and. they stated it every day. >> intend to just keep using the Strait of. Hormuz. We They have now learned that. they They can behave like a nuclear. power without ever needing to be one. But Okay, so like if we're going to keep. going with this, what number of American. troops are we willing to commit to keep. going and like what's your number? Like. how many US troops are you willing to.

expend to achieve your objectives and. what amount of money? Cuz like we're not. having that conversation and we need to. cuz we've already spent 300 billion. dollars, we've already lost like those. are the questions we need to we need to. answer. >> to keep American people safe. from the worst regime in the world? A. fair amount. >> In case there was any doubt about just. how successful this new MAGA tactic of. explaining away our new war in the. Middle East is going. And you know why Caroline Sunshine and. frankly most of the MAGA base feels this. way? You know why Trump campaigned. explicitly against doing what he's doing.

right now? It's because we have been. sold these exact lies before for my. entire life. We have to go to Iraq. because there are weapons of mass. destruction. Trillions of dollars and. thousands of American lives later, where. are those WMDs? What did we accomplish. over there? And how do we know that our. government can even be trusted when. they've got no credibility when it comes. to the Middle East? Especially when. Donald Trump's own kids, Don Jr. and. Eric, are heavily invested in military. defense contracts and are making.

millions the longer these wars go on, the more drones are used in these wars. We are tired of the grift, of the dead. American kids, and of being told that we. can't afford anything here at home, but. there are endless sums of money, buckets. of cash to bomb schools and. hospitals on the other side of the. world. Donald Trump literally ran on. that idea before he became the exact. thing he campaigned against. And the. notion that we're all going to fall for. it again is a joke, to be frank. And that bait-and-switch is a point that.

Buttigieg pointed out right here. >> See, I think a lot of voters who voted. for Donald Trump believed him when he. said that he was going to focus on those. who committed crimes. Just like voters. believed him when he said he was going. to keep us out of wars like the war in. Iran. And a lot of voters believed him. when he said he was going to bring. prices down on day one. Instead, if you. look at the inflation rate on day one. when Donald Trump took over from Joe. Biden, and you look at the inflation. rate today, it's higher today. So, you. have this set of broken promises. >> So, at this point, based on where we.

are, what would you like to see happen. next if you were advising President. Trump? >> Well, if I was advising President Trump, I. I'm trying to I'm trying to try that. scenario on for size. I guess I'd advise him to start by. telling the truth to the American. people. Because uh when he says it's. going to be 4 weeks and then breaks that. promise, it reminds people of when he. said he wouldn't start this war and. broke that promise. When he says he will. settle for nothing less than. unconditional surrender and regime. change, and then changed his mind, backpedaled, and agreed to a framework.

for a ceasefire that was very different. then that ceasefire has been broken. The. outrageous news that we just got, that. the Trump administration removed the. names of four of our service members who. were killed in action, apparently. because the fact that they had been. killed in action goes against his. fiction that that sometimes he says. we're actually not in a war even though. everybody knows we are. What I would say. to him is, you know, when I was in. uniform, when I was deployed, I knew that on some level my life.

depended on the credibility of the. people running our government. And. American lives depend on him telling the. truth even when it's hard. >> And of course, Trump will never be. honest because he never had any. intention of delivering for people. He. just said what he needed to say to get. elected, but he never cared. That's why. after campaigning on getting high costs. down, he launched a trade war that sent. the cost of everything surging. It's why. after campaigning on lowering inflation, he sent inflation 30% higher than even. when Joe Biden left office. It's why.

after campaigning on releasing the. Epstein files, he is now engaged in a. government-wide cover-up of those files. Trump simply said whatever he needed to. say to curry favor with the rubes in his. base, and the second he got what he. needed for them, which is to say their. votes, he left them out to dry. Costs. will not go down because this president. and his party simply do not care. The. Epstein files won't be released because. they don't care. The fact that we're. going to be engaged in foreign wars will. never end because they don't care. The.

people surrounding Trump are more afraid. of him than they are concerned about. their own constituents, and so they will. never serve as a bullwark against his. worst excesses. This is what happens. when you allow yourself to be governed. by a cult of personality. The underlings. are more focused on the cult leader than. the very people they were elected to. serve. So, I'm sure that we are moments. away from a Trump meltdown because just. once Fox News has got a dose of the. truth, and Trump knows there's no way to. deny what Pete is saying. So, instead, he'll just threaten the network for.

daring to undermine dear leader and his. party line because that's all he can do. When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And for a. guy who refuses to govern in accordance. with his own promises, all he's got. left, all he's doing, is issuing threats. to the cowards who grovel at his feet. None of which helps anybody in this. country other than, of course, the one. man consolidating power for himself. >> [music]. >> Before you go, one quick request. It's. become clear to me that this White House.

is dead set on preventing me from. reaching any audience. Trump's decision. to put me as the first name on his. enemies list is a testament to that. But. it didn't quiet down then, and I won't. do it now.

The link to. subscribe is right here on the screen. And together, let's make sure that we. send a message to this administration. that all they're doing by attacking me. and independent media is making our. platforms all the more powerful. Thanks.
