2:14Donald Trump has been panicking all morning, and as the markets were about to absolutely
2:20crash, Donald Trump, in order to manipulate the markets, just came out with a massive
2:26lie and claimed that he is in the process of negotiating a deal that could
2:31potentially resolve the war with Iran.
2:34Donald Trump refuses to say who he is having these discussions with, how they are
2:40taking place, what the general framework is, if there are anyone mediating these conversations.
2:46Iran instantly has denied that these communications are taking place.
2:50They say there's no direct or indirect communications with Donald Trump, but based on Donald
2:56Trump's fabrications, the markets which were set to crash have actually stabilized, at least for
3:03the time being today. Although, as more information trickles in, that Donald Trump is lying,
3:09and Donald Trump just gave a disastrous press conference on the tarmac as he leaves
3:14Florida to head back to Washington, D .C.
3:16I think it's becoming evident to everybody that, yet again, Donald Trump is lying.
3:21So remember, Donald Trump gave Iran a 48 -hour ultimatum, where he said, if you
3:27don't get... out of the Strait of Hormuz immediately and allow us to control the
3:31Strait of Hormuz, the United States will blow up all of your energy infrastructure in
3:37Iran, starting with the biggest one first.
3:40Iran responded and said, we reject that ultimatum.
3:43If you go after our energy infrastructure, we will be attacking the energy infrastructure, desalination
3:50facilities, commerce centers, and any other areas where economic benefits are derived in the Arab
3:57nations that surround us, take our threat very seriously.
4:02So Donald Trump had an option.
4:04His deadline for the ultimatum would be due in a few hours.
4:08Was he going to bomb the civilian energy infrastructure of Iran, which would be a
4:13war crime, or would he basically do what he always does, where he makes up
4:17a lie, says he's involved in negotiations when he really isn't, and then tried to
4:22get himself out of the mess that he created?
4:25Well, early this morning, here's what he posted.
4:27I'll show you Trump's post, the Iranian response right away, because Iran, within 20 minutes,
4:32they were on their media channel saying this is a lie.
4:35There's no direct or indirect communications with Donald Trump.
4:39Look at the United States backing down.
4:41So let me show you what went down.
4:43Trump writes, I'm pleased to report that the United States of America and the country
4:46of Iran have had over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding
4:52a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.
4:55Based on the tenor and tone of these in -depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which
5:01will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to post bone
5:05any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five
5:11-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.
5:16Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J.
5:19Trump. And to be clear, when he talks about military strikes against power plants and
5:24energy infrastructure, that is a war crime right there.
5:28That is a 100 % a war crime.
5:31So then Donald Trump reaches out to CNBC and to Fox Business.
5:36And he calls them and he says to them, Iran badly wants to make a
5:41deal. It could happen in five days.
5:44Why five days? Because he doesn't want the markets to crash this week.
5:48What happens in five days?
5:49The markets close. That's when escalation likely would begin again over the weekend.
5:54And then he comes back on Monday to manipulate the markets again.
5:58So as Fatouk's news explains over here, it's true, though, take note of who Trump
6:02is talking to following his truth social post, CNBC and Fox.
6:07Then I'll show you this in a moment.
6:08Donald Trump says that part of these discussions, he will be jointly controlling the Strait
6:15of Hormuz with the new Ayatollah.
6:18It will be Trump and the Ayatollah now working together, controlling the Strait of Hormuz,
6:23which obviously is a bunch of nonsense.
6:25So Iran responds right away.
6:28They go on their various state media and they deny that there have been not
6:34just productive conversations. They deny there's any direct or indirect communications whatsoever.
6:39Iran says, one, there has been no indirect or direct contact with Trump or his
6:43people. Two, Trump is trying to buy time in the Iran war.
6:48Three, Trump withdrew from the power plant strike threats after Iran's firm warning that it
6:54would strike its neighbors. Four, Trump's comments are part of a psychological warfare campaign against
7:01Iran. Five, Hormuz will not return and will never return to pre -war conditions as
7:09long as psychological warfare continues.
7:11As the Kobayashi letter explains, Iran has entirely denied all of Donald Trump's claims.
7:18And as our editor -in -chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, never in my life have I
7:23believed Iran's state media over our own government until now.
7:28That's not being unpatriotic. It's having a brain that functions.
7:32And he's quoting Iranian state media saying, there's been no direct or indirect communications with
7:38Trump, not even through intermediaries.
7:40Trump retreated after hearing that our targets would be all over the power plants and
7:46we'd be targeting the power plants all over West Asia.
7:49Now, the editor -at -large of the Wall Street Journal, Gerard Baker, put out the
7:54following message. The unsettling reality is that with this president, this is the editor -at
7:59-large of the Wall Street Journal.
8:01The unsettling reality is that with this president, Americans in wartime are in the unprecedented
8:06position of having to suspect that the enemy's version of events is more likely to
8:12be true than our own.
8:15We have become Baghdad Bob.
8:17And specifically, we were seeing oil markets were imploding.
8:23I mean, it was going to go to $120, $150 per barrel.
8:26We saw the rise of the Treasury note yields, the 10 -year and the 20
8:32-year reaching unsustainable levels. And then when Trump made the fabricated announcement, we saw some
8:38stabilization taking place as well.
8:40Massive market swings taking place this morning.
8:45So then Donald Trump was on the tarmac.
8:47He's leaving his vacation again at Mar -a -Lago and his Palm Beach Club that
8:52we, the taxpayers, fund. And Donald Trump was asked, so Iran's foreign ministry says that
8:58you're not telling the truth when it comes to productive conversations to end the war.
9:03What do you say to this?
9:04Here, play this clip. Mr.
9:06President, Iran's foreign ministry says you're not telling the truth when it comes to productive
9:10conversations to end the war.
9:11So they're going to have to get themselves better public relations people.
9:15We have had very, very strong talks.
9:19We'll see where they lead.
9:20We have points, major points of agreement.
9:23I would say almost all points of agreement.
9:26Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed.
9:28The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces.
9:31They're unable to talk to each other.
9:33But we've had very strong talks.
9:35Mr. Whitcoff and Mr. Kushner had them.
9:39They went, I would say, perfectly.
9:42I would say that if they carry through with that, it'll end that problem, that
9:49conflict. And I think it'll end it very, very substantially.
9:52We have very much in mind our partners in the Middle East.
9:56We've had great relationships with a lot of them, as you know.
9:59A lot of them were surprisingly hit.
10:02And I was surprised to see it.
10:04And so was everyone else.
10:05But we have, they're very much in mind in the discussions.
10:10So the discussions took place yesterday.
10:12They went into yesterday evening.
10:16They want very much to make a deal.
10:19We'd like to make a deal too.
10:21They need to get a better PR person.
10:23Again, this would be an SNL skit.
10:25This would be parody if it wasn't issues of war and peace and so freaking
10:29dangerous and people's lives on the line and our economy on the line.
10:33Next, Donald Trump is asked, so you said there's many points of agreement that you've
10:39reached with Iran right now.
10:41Can you give us just a few?
10:43And Donald Trump's goes, like 50.
10:44It's like 15 points. The guy just makes everything up.
10:48This is a humiliation ritual that he's putting the United States through right now.
10:52Here, play this clip. You said there's many points of agreement with Iran right now.
10:56What can you give us?
10:58Many, like 15 points, 15 points.
11:02Well, they're not going to have a nuclear weapon.
11:04That's number one. That's number one, two and three.
11:07They will never have a nuclear weapon.
11:09They've agreed to that. Let me tell you, if there's a surefire way to wake
11:14up feeling fresh after drinks with friends, it's with pre -alcohol.
11:17ZBiotics pre -alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
11:22It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.
11:26Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in
11:31the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough
11:36days after drinking. Pre -alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.
11:41Just remember to make pre -alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and
11:47you'll feel your best tomorrow.
11:48Look, I won't lie. I was a bit on the fence about pre -alcohol initially,
11:51but then while hanging out with some friends at my local bar, I gave it
11:55a shot and believe me, it's the real deal.
11:57March is a marathon of social events from the slopes to the bracket watch parties
12:02to Guinness on St. Patrick's Day.
12:04Pre -alcohol is the tool you need to fully enjoy the end of winter.

12:36Iran? You said Jared Kushner and Whitcoff are the ones having these conversations.
12:42Who were they speaking to?
12:43Because why would anybody want to speak to them?
12:46The last time there were conversations with those two and there were productive mediated discussions
12:51by Oman's foreign minister, you then bombed Iran that night when there was a deal
12:56that was reached. So who were they speaking with, Donald?
12:59Here, play this clip. Who is Steve Whitcoff speaking with, Mr.
13:02President? A top person, don't forget.
13:06We've wiped out the leadership phase one, phase two, and largely phase three.
13:11But we're dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the
13:16leader. You know, it's a little tough.
13:19They've wiped out, we've wiped out everybody.
13:21Is that the Supreme Leader?
13:23No, not the Supreme Leader.
13:24We don't, well, nobody's ever, nobody heard of the second Supreme Leader, the son.
13:30Nobody, we have not heard from the son.
13:33Every once in a while, you'll see a statement made, but we haven't, we don't
13:36know if he's living. But the people that seem to be running it, and they
13:40seem that based on really fact, because things they've said have taken place.
13:46Mr. President, I know you've deployed.
13:49Because I don't want him to be killed, okay?
13:53I don't want him to be killed.
13:54Mr. President, you've deployed. Nobody wants to be that, nobody wants that job right now,
13:58you know? Nobody's exactly looking forward to being the head of that particular country, but
14:04perhaps we'll be able to solve that problem.
14:07So then the next question is, all right, so under your deal, who gets to
14:11control the Strait of Hormuz?
14:12How do you see it going down?
14:14And Donald Trump goes, me, me, I control it.
14:19And who? Maybe the Ayatollah.
14:21Donald Trump says that. He and the Ayatollah will control the Strait of Hormuz.
14:26Folks, I mean, for real, no offense to kindergartners, but if you explained in a
14:32very rudimentary fashion what was happening in Iran to a kindergartner, a bad student kindergartner
14:39wouldn't come up with something this outlandish.
14:43That's how crazy this is.
14:45Here, play this clip. Thank you.
14:47What about the Strait of Hormuz?
14:49Who's going to be in control of that?
14:50That'll be opened very soon, if this works.
14:52How soon? And who's in control of it?
14:55Will Iran still be able to control the flow of oil?
14:57Be jointly controlled. By whom?
15:01Maybe me. Maybe me. You want the United States to be in control of it?
15:04Me and the Ayatollah, whoever the Ayatollah is, whoever the next Ayatollah.
15:08Look, and there'll also be a form of a very serious form of a regime
15:14change. Now, in all fairness, everybody's been killed from the regime.
15:19They're really starting off. There's automatically a regime change.
15:23But we're dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid.
15:29The people within know who they are.
15:31They're very respected. And maybe one of them will be exactly what we're looking for.
15:37Look at Venezuela, how well that's working out.
15:40We are doing so well in Venezuela with oil and with the relationship between the
15:45president -elect and us. And maybe we find somebody like that in Iran.
15:52Are you going to you're going to control the straight with the Ayatollah?
15:55What are you even talking about?
15:57Next, Donald Trump has asked, OK, so if you say the war is ending in
16:02the next five days, you still want $200 billion supplemental.
16:08That's what you want. And Donald Trump's like, it's always nice to have $200 billion.
16:12So you're going to you're saying the war is going to end.
16:15You're shutting down rural hospitals.
16:18Americans can't afford health care right now.
16:20You could have just funded it with $30 billion, the Obama supplemental insurance plan that
16:25people needed. You could fund lots of health insurance for hundreds of billions of dollars.
16:30Educational institutions, schools are under are severely underfunded.
16:35I mean, you've gutted the government.
16:37You've gutted resources for people.
16:39And now you want $200 billion because, as you said, it's always nice to have
16:45Democrats inflame it. What the hell are you talking about?
16:47Here, play this clip. It's great for all of them.
16:50If the war is ending, do you still need $200 billion?
16:55It's always nice to have.
16:57It's always nice to have.
16:59It's a very inflamed world.
17:01And the Democrats inflame it.
17:03You know, largely the Democrats inflame it.
17:05Let me just talk about the other.
17:07So ISIS done very well.
17:08Then Donald Trump's like, we're doing a five day period.
17:11We'll see how it goes.
17:12And if it doesn't go well, we'll just keep bombing our little hearts out.
17:17We'll keep bombing. Oh, five days, the markets close, you bomb.
17:22Then on Monday, you say, aha, we did a deal again and manipulate the markets.
17:26Don't we all see exactly what is happening here?
17:28This is pure market manipulation.
17:31And the big point to talk about as well is that systemically, this is killing
17:37the United States economy because the conditions haven't changed.
17:41The Strait of Hormuz is still controlled by Iran and effectively shut down.
17:44The oil shipments are not leaving.
17:47A war is still taking place.
17:49In fact, this morning, Israel has ramped up, not rammed down, rammed up strikes on
17:56Tehran. So that's taking place.
17:58Iran continues to strike neighbors.
18:00So this is all a Fugazi.
18:01This is all one big lie.
18:03And here play this clip to get together today by probably phone because it's very
18:09hard to find a country.
18:12It's very hard for them to get out, I guess.
18:14But we'll at some point very, very soon meet.
18:17We're doing a five day period.
18:19We'll see how that goes.
18:21And if it goes well, we're going to end up with settling this.
18:24Otherwise, we just keep bombing our little hearts.
18:28And meanwhile, there's massive natural disasters taking place in Nebraska, in Hawaii right now.
18:37Trump doesn't mention any of that.
18:39There were two people killed overnight, a dozen injured in a collision between a Jazz
18:44Airlines flight, 646, which is a Canada Air regional jet and a fire truck at
18:51LaGuardia Airport, where we believe that the flight control was understaffed.
18:57You want to comment on that, Donald?
18:59The plane crash at LaGuardia Airport?
19:01Here, play this clip. Thank you.
19:03Are these wrecked cops going on?
19:06Terrible. They made a mistake.
19:10It's a dangerous business. That's terrible.
19:12Thank you. And then here's what Donald Trump says about Joe Kent, one of his
19:19top intelligence officials who quit over the war in Iran.
19:23Donald Trump attacks the fact that Joe Kent got remarried after his wife died in
19:29a terrorist attack in Syria.
19:31Always goes after the families first.
19:33That's Donald Trump's go -to move right there.
19:36And the go -to move is just to lie and lie in the most ridiculous
19:40ways imaginable. Let's play this clip right here.
19:43Mr. President, do you know whether Joe Kent was leaking?
19:47Look, I'm not a fan of the guy.
19:49If you look at, and you never cover this, if you look at his truths
19:53or whatever he went on, if it's X or truth, if you look at his
19:57truths or his statements, he was all for everything.
20:00All of a sudden, he wasn't.
20:03He was a man that I met at Dover.
20:07He came and his wife was killed.
20:10He remarried fairly quickly. His wife was killed.
20:14And I felt badly for her.
20:16He ran and for Congress, he lost.
20:19He ran for Congress again and he lost.
20:21I said, you know, he's a guy, nice guy, seemed like a very nice guy.
20:26I met him. He was pretty heartbroken.
20:29Pretty. But I said, you know, it's a shame.
20:32He ran for Congress twice.
20:34Call him up, give him a job in the White House.
20:37Smart. They gave him a job in the White House.
20:40And this is what he does to me.
20:42You know, being a nice guy doesn't pay off too much.
20:46Think of it. He loses twice in Congress, ran not very good campaigns.
20:52Should have won. But he loses twice.
20:55How do I get him?
20:56I have my people call him because I didn't deal with him for the most
21:00part. I saw him a couple of times, but I never dealt with him at
21:03all. I had no idea his ideology was left or right, whatever it is.
21:08I can say this. He said very strongly that Iran is not a threat.
21:14Iran's been a threat for 47 years and there's not a country in the world
21:18that doesn't agree with me on that.
21:20So I take this guy, Joe Kent.
21:23There you have it, folks.
