TRUMP’S WINNING WEEK | A Political Rendezvous - Ep. 122

Jules Jones dissects Trump’s first 100 days, highlighting $2T in foreign investments, a Hamas hostage release, and India-Pakistan ceasefire deals while accusing the "deep state" of orchestrating threats—from Comey’s coded assassination post to FBI misconduct in FISA abuses. Contrasting Biden’s failures (fake job numbers, Ukraine chaos), she praises Trump’s drug price cuts, Supreme Court deportation rulings, and $2T Middle East deals ($600B Saudi investments, Qatar’s Boeing 747 offer). With Iran’s 60% uranium stockpile nearing weaponization and Putin demanding NATO withdrawal, Jones frames Trump’s foreign policy as pragmatic deal-making, while critics call his HTS sanctions waiver a terrorist legitimization. Audience debates Qatar’s jet gift—$400M for U.S. military use—sparking security vs. diplomacy tensions amid Trump’s 50% approval ratings and Biden’s crumbling legacy.

Washington's Meltdown Spectacular 00:06:41
Hello, gems.
It's time for another political rendezvous.
Welcome to Tea Spilling Saturdays.
If you are new here, welcome to our tea room.
My name is Jules Jones, and on Saturdays, I go through the biggest political stories of the week.
If you are interested in news and politics, I recommend you follow our channel.
I throw a tea party every Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
I also encourage you to visit my website, JulesJonesLive.com, for updates.
Another wild week.
I mean, would we expect anything less from the bowels of Washington, D.C.?
Definitely not.
You are looking at a live feed from Washington, D.C., a city that is driven by power, ambition, and it seems dark intrigue.
The nation's capital appears to have transformed into a battleground with tensions escalating as the new administration settles into its roles following the first 100 days.
For some of the treasonous figures who thrived in the political swamp, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Desperate to avoid exposure and accountability, whispers of extreme measures, including what appears to be calls for a president's assassination, have emerged.
After two failed assassination attempts, many believe these acts were orchestrated from the highest levels, and the perpetrators aren't even trying to conceal it anymore.
As the nation watches in disbelief and horror, it's clear that nothing is off the table in this high-stakes game of country and even personal survival.
Beginning last weekend after our show, President Trump delivered a full week's worth of accomplishments before Monday morning even.
And it only got better from there.
This is such a stark contrast with the low energy failure of the previous administration.
President Trump is a dynamo.
I won't go through each of the accomplishments in detail just yet because that's what this show is all about.
But just this week alone, our president, he delivered great news in the categories of the economy, trade deals, world peace, massive foreign investment commitments for the United States, and he even got Hamas to release the last American hostage.
That's why we named today's show Trump's Winning Week.
This high speed rate of success, or shall we say winning, is driving the left completely crazy and they can't keep up.
The leftist rhetoric is making less and less sense and they are increasingly unhinged.
They are blaming each other over Joe Biden's dementia cover-up and they are clearly on the wrong side of every single issue.
Not knowing what else to do, they are repeating catastrophic mistakes which cost them the election last November.
The meltdown is absolutely spectacular.
But of course, the week was not without its share of horrific behavior by an increasingly panicked left.
At the top of the list is one particularly troubling incident.
Late on Thursday, we saw that James Comey, who is a former U.S. Attorney, former Deputy Attorney General, and former director of the FBI, posted a photo of seashells arranged to form 8647.
For those who might not know, 86 is a term which means terminate.
47, of course, refers to President Trump, our 47th president.
Given his background and the jobs he has held, his message cannot be misinterpreted.
James Comey posted a photo which effectively said, terminate 47.
He was calling for the elimination of the President of the United States as plain as day.
Given his background and the jobs he has held, it is not possible that he did not know what the image meant.
This was particularly heinous in light of the two assassination attempts on President Trump's life last year.
You all should be beyond horrified at this behavior.
And I hope those figures in Washington, D.C. hear you loud and clear.
We don't yet know why he did it, but I think it's reasonable to assume the current investigations by the new Trump administration are getting uncomfortably and dangerously close to Comey's treasonous actions in President Trump's first term.
He's feeling the heat, and he's definitely panicking.
Comey has been exposed as a sanctimonious traitor and liar, and it erupted in a post which he must have known would receive volcanic backlash.
The question is: was it a threat or was it an order?
This is sinister and chilling to the core.
The backlash was swift and unequivocal.
Social media exploded with calls to arrest James Comey.
FBI Director Kash Patel acknowledged Comey's post and indicated that the primary investigative responsibility was with the Secret Service and that the FBI would provide all necessary support.
The Secret Service acknowledged the Comey Post and stated that they take rhetoric like this very seriously.
Members of Congress publicly urged the Secret Service and FBI to conduct an immediate joint investigation.
The White House said the former FBI director put out what can clearly be interpreted as a hit on the President of the United States.
We all know investigations take some time and we want this done properly.
But the resounding call was for James Comey to finally be fitted for an orange prison jumpsuit.
That particular wardrobe change is long overdue.
Trump's Winning Week 00:03:12
Fortunately, even this outburst by Comey could not diminish the amazing accomplishments made by President Trump last week.
I can't wait to go through them with you.
But before we get into all of that, we've got a full show as always.
My goodness, we're going to get into Trump's winning week, but we will start our show with our usual four starter segments, our top news story countdown, which takes a more tongue-in-cheek approach to this week's mostly wonderful news stories.
We will also review our current breaking news and X news for today, our What is Wrong with These People segment, showing how the left has dumbed down our society, and then our In Case You Missed It segment, which provides updates on stories from past shows.
I love having you all here at live at 3 o'clock each Saturday.
But if for some reason you cannot make the live show, you can always check them later by visiting our website.
You can head on over to julesjoneslive.com.
And also, special thanks to all of you Rumble refugees who have bravely weathered the storm and you have found your way to new streaming platforms, which also can be found on our website.
I truly appreciate each and every single one of you.
See, and we also have you up there on chat as well on this website.
We have it on In the Litterbox and then also on the show.
So you have every way that you can watch this.
Then we will spill the tea with this week's show, Trump's Winning Week.
Following that, I'll dish up some rumors from online chatter that you will not want to miss in our Daily Dish segment.
Then finally, we'll cover this week's question of the day, where you get to provide your answers in the show comments.
But for now, settle in, get comfortable with your beverage of choice, blackout coffee code CAT for 20% off, as we begin this week's political rendezvous.
Let's spill some tea and maybe a little coffee, shall we?
Okay, we're going to head right on in to our top news stories for the week.
I mean, how can you top this week anyway?
Coming Number 10 00:04:52
No way, in my opinion.
All right, so coming in at number 10.
President Trump signs historic executive order to reduce drug costs for Americans.
By invoking a most favored nation policy, President Trump ensured drug prices for Americans would decrease between 30% and 80%, with an average decrease of 59%.
This is a tremendous win for every American.
Coming in at number nine, you have a hostage who has been freed.
Thank goodness.
President Trump Eden Alexander, the last living American held hostage by Hamas, was freed from captivity.
Hamas never took Joe Biden seriously, which put every American at risk.
President Trump secured his release, and Eden and his entire family were extremely grateful to President Trump.
In at number eight, President Trump negotiates immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
This was significant, huge development, and it was quickly eclipsed by the news cycle.
But think of it.
President Trump got two nuclear powers to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
Absolutely amazing.
Coming in at number seven, the Labor Department claims hundreds of thousands of jobs created by Joe Biden were fake.
Is there anything about Joe Biden's presidency that wasn't fake?
This was intentional deception by the Biden administration to make it look like the economy was better than it was.
Listen, Jack, it was all fake.
In at number six, Trump given a cyber truck motorcade through Qatar after fighter jet escort.
This was hilarious, but it was also quite a tribute.
Elon Musk must have been so proud of this.
In at number seven, you've got a federal grand jury who indicts Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan for obstructing ICE arrest.
Well, you're seeing the deal maker.
This was a deal maker for sure because President Trump, he made sure that he got the people in power to do their job, or at least they were feeling the heat from all of you.
It was terrific news.
They heard the evidence and the voters voted and voted to indict her.
So now she can stand trial like any other criminal who breaks the law.
Coming in at number four, Speaker Mike Johnson cancels Friday votes.
This guy is such a disappointment.
President Trump is leading by example, working his tail off, and Republicans in the House and the Senate are wasting precious time.
We need a pit bull of a leader who is a match for President Trump, not this mealy mouse nothing.
In at number three, makes me livid.
John Brennan fumes after Tulsi Gabbard fires two top deep state officials.
Tulsi is doing a fantastic job.
These two were fired because their radical opposition to President Trump was revealed.
It's very simple.
If the spy who lied, Brennan, is livid, then Tulsi definitely fired the right two people.
James Comey, at number two, he appears to call for the assassination of President Trump in social media post.
This was despicable and criminal.
Of course, Comey, the coward, deleted the post and later his entire account when he began to see how overwhelming the backlash was.
Maybe Comey will be the first criminal public figure to be hauled away in handcuffs.
Fingers crossed.
Maybe we'll even get a dramatic 5 a.m. televised raid on his home.
Okay, okay, enough wishful thinking.
Stick around for updates on that story later.
Spoiler alert: the villain always slips away.
And our number one biggest story for the week.
President Trump secures $2 trillion in U.S. investment commitments on his historic Middle East tour.
He worked tirelessly and he was greeted warmly and respectively by each nation he visited.
Nobody is working harder for Americans than President Trump.
President Trump's $2 Trillion Win 00:03:33
America is roaring back.
And there you have it.
Our top news stories for the week.
And we're going to head right on in to our ex-channel.
Now, there are so many stories in there.
President Trump has not, I'm going to warn you in advance, he has not slowed down a bit.
It's almost like he's catching up for his lost time here in America.
So get ready for quite a segment.
Yes, he has wasted zero time.
It has been like nothing.
This man, I don't know when he sleeps, but he has a job to do and he knows how serious it is that he gets it done.
And we need people up there, our representatives, to start supporting his agenda or else we're in big, big trouble.
We have got the weight of the world watching what is going to happen next with the deep state being as entrenched as they all are.
But first, we're going to get into, and I want to just give a special shout out to Hobbit4DJT and of course, Miss Lioness, who always puts out a promo for the show at Patriot underscore Lioness.
Thank you so much for doing what you do to highlight this show.
I appreciate you both so much and so many others that get the word out.
We're going to start with our question of the day though, real quick, just so you can have a little time to put in your answers in the show and I can give you a shout out.
Here is the question.
It's time for today's question of the day.
Do you think President Trump should accept a new Air Force One from Qatar?
Yes or no?
We want to hear from you.
Share your thoughts and you could be featured live this Saturday, May 17th, during a political rendezvous at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
Pick your viewing platform at julesjoneslive.com where you are the star.
And that is true.
And that is why you are on the screen.
And just appreciate you so much for being here and all of the support through this whole transition.
It's been really quite a ride.
I've learned so much though.
I've got to tell you, it has been really an eye-opener for me.
I've really kind of had to push myself in places and in different things that I've ever had to do, just thinking of how I can get everybody back together or on one platform or another.
And it seems to be working beautifully.
I'm also excited to tell you, I'm going to give you just a little hint about what's coming up next month.
We have had the nicest sponsored, nicest sponsors that have reached out to us to sponsor this show, America First Companies.
And I think you're really going to be excited.
Of course, that leads us right into Blackout Coffee.
They have been truly amazing, and we appreciate all of their support.
But we've got some more that we're going to bring in, and it truly means the world to us.
It helps us be able to produce these shows, both in the litter box, which is five days a week, Monday through Friday, and then also a political rendezvous on Saturdays.
We could not do the show without the support.
So thank you all for all of that.
Supporting Truth Social Posts 00:02:58
And we're going to start off with something that President Trump knows all too well about, and that is the deep state.
Here you've got Carly Bonet, who put this one out.
Now, listen, if you are not following Carly, she is awesome.
All right, great account at K-A-R-L-U-S-K-A-P.
You can follow her.
He just put this post out on Truth Social.
Now understand.
President Trump understands the challenges ahead in a world filled with uncertainty and hidden threats.
Some dangers are closer than they seem.
And you will understand after you see this clip what he means by that.
Kennedy Jr., he was declared the frontrunner for the New York Senate seat back in 1999.
Days later, his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean and his rival, Hillary Clinton, was elected senator.
Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern.
She knew enough of the inner workings of Bill's sexual advancements to be a star witness during the Clinton impeachment trials.
She was brutally executed at a Starbucks she was managing in 1997.
In 1993, White House counsel Vince Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park near DC.
He supposedly killed himself and among a lengthy list of potential foul play, the bullet was never found.
Then there's James McDougal, a key witness for White House prosecutors.
He was serving his three-year sentence for bank fraud at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas.
And just before he was to give a testimony before the grand jury, McDougal suffered a heart attack and solitary confinement.
In 2015, Walter Schive, a White House chef hired under Bill Clinton, joined the list.
His body was found at the bottom of a river nearly two miles from the base of the trail he was reportedly hiking.
An autopsy determined that Shive's death was accidental drowning, but he might have known too much.
27-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in DC this year.
There is speculation that he was the source of the controversial leaked emails allegedly sent by DNC staffers and that he may have been murdered in retaliation.
Then Sean Lucas, the lead attorney in a fraud case against the DNC, was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on August 2nd.
His death was reported classified pending the results of an autopsy.
Okay, that came from President Trump's account.
He is very aware of who these people are and what he is dealing with.
He knows that the deep state is very deep and it just keeps on going and it is growing roots as we speak because they really truly believe that they've obviously got the rhinos hoodwinked and that they are going to continue on business as usual.
Fifth Circuit's Verdict Pending 00:15:09
We've got to stop that.
That's up to us.
We've got to get very active in these primaries.
We have got to let them know they cannot stand.
It is the funniest thing.
You want to see them do something or start contacting social media influencers.
It's when you all are tagging them on your posts.
They are watching social media night and day.
They need you and they know it.
And they really think that they are able to just ride President Trump's coattail to the very end and that you're still going to show up and vote for them.
That is not the case.
We need to let them know that we are watching them very closely and we need them to get the job that we elected in a mandate for President Trump to do.
All right, in other news, U.S. Secretary of State, you've got Marco Rubio, who met with the Vatican Secretary of State.
And this was Cardinal Petro Parlin, the U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary Rubio, both whom are Catholic, will attend the inaugural Mass for Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.-born Pope on Sunday, May 18th.
So that is tomorrow.
And we have some good news out of the Vatican.
You had the new Pope who reaffirmed two foundational Catholic truths that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Abortion is demonically evil.
He also declared truth must be spoken even with blunt language.
No ambiguity, no compromise, just clarity.
So we will see.
I know we are all a little tired of being burned, thinking, okay, here we go.
And we're all on our, and with good reason.
And we have been burned so many times by people that stand up there and say one thing and actually do another, but I was pleased to see this.
Does President Trump ever take a break?
Hardly.
He is driven by a higher purpose, serving as the President of Peace, always working tirelessly to make a difference.
Well, he put out this post on social media.
He said that he will be speaking by telephone to President Putin of Russia on Monday at 10 o'clock a.m.
The subjects of the call will be stopping the bloodbath that is killing on average more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week and trade.
I will then be speaking to President Zelensky of Ukraine and then with President Zelensky, various members of NATO.
Hopefully, it will be a productive day.
A ceasefire will take place and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end.
God bless us all.
This is a president that absolutely does care about human life and you can see it right here in this post.
He is getting involved.
Thank goodness.
As you all know, none of this would have happened if President Trump was president.
And he is working to make sure that there is peace on earth.
My gosh, they're just want to keep dragging us into these endless wars.
And he's going to put a stop to this.
It would have never happened under him.
Walmart, though, however, he's waging a war with them for sure.
Walmart, he says, should stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain.
He says Walmart made billions of dollars last year, far more than expected, between Walmart and China.
They should, as I said, eat the tariffs and not charge valued customers anything.
I'll be watching and so will your customers.
He's also picking a fight over there, a well-earned one, by Powell.
Powell is playing the same old political playlist.
This is what he's doing.
And Donald Trump is calling him out on it.
The consensus of almost everybody is that the Fed should cut rates sooner rather than later.
Too late Powell, a man legendary for being too late, will probably blow it again.
But who knows?
This guy plays politics.
I mean, when you start realizing that 99% of the Fed are Democrats, you know why they tend to want to shine and make, you know, empty suits, turnip brains, look like they're doing something great for the country, and then they go absolutely against President Trump.
They do not care about this country.
They are playing with a political football.
That's all this is.
The Supreme Court, says President Trump, must come to the rescue of America.
President Trump is working extremely hard to make sure that we have got secure borders and he's going to do everything in his power to make sure that we get people that shouldn't be in this country out of this country.
So Mike Davis, another fabulous account for you to follow at Mr D D M I A, says, let me get this straight.
Obama can drone strikes America, but Trump can't repel foreign terrorists.
Biden can import over 10 million illegal aliens, but Trump can't send them home without years of court process.
The American people never agreed to this, not at our founding, not after the Civil War, not any time since then.
Certainly not in the last election.
The Supreme Court is heading down a perilous path.
They're really ruining it for themselves.
But I felt that Geiger underscore Capital did a fabulous job of breaking the decision down.
Great.
They just did great.
Because all of us were up in arms.
Ignore them.
We don't need them.
We all cried.
What are they doing?
We were very unhappy because we know exactly what the Supreme Court and how they behave.
And we've got a lot of rhinos that are in those positions.
It shouldn't be a political court.
It should be a constitutional court.
But yet you've got a lot of people that are on that court, namely Roberts, who has been orchestrating this coup, and it has trickled down because that's what the establishment does, right?
They take supreme to a whole new level.
So Geiger Capital writes this.
I've had a few drinks and read the Supreme Court's ruling on the Alien Enemies Act.
First, this was not a block on Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act.
It was simply a punt and an effort to tie it up a bit longer.
Instead of just being men, they punted it back to the Fifth Circuit.
Now the Fifth Circuit will actually end up siding with Trump on his legal authority and use the Alien Enemies Act.
However, they will need to clarify some arbitrary amount of days that the administration must give as notice to the illegal immigrant gang, member deportees.
Today, 24 hours was ruled not enough.
To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18th.
Really, this is just a useless and pathetic procedural step that the Fifth Circuit must now decide on to please the weak Supreme Court justices.
It could be 48 hours.
It could be seven days.
It could be 90 days.
We shall see.
What would I do?
Very simple.
If I was Trump and at Stephen M, which is Stephen Miller, y'all's fave that you voted on in the administration, he says I would immediately notify every illegal immigrant possible.
A blanket notification for everyone we want to deport under the Alien Enemies Act.
Start the clock tomorrow on whatever length of time the Fifth Circuit ends up deciding on.
I think that's wonderful advice.
Knowing that's inevitable, then go ahead and get started on it.
President Trump isn't finished.
Oh no, especially when it comes to that auto pen.
You know, he's been tweeting a long time, tweeting, oh, I'm aging myself again here on social media, posting on Truth Social.
Gosh, we've lived through some serious storms, have we not?
President Trump put this one out.
He says, whoever had control of the auto pen is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment.
It is a major part of the real crime that the presidential election of 2020 was rigged and stolen.
Millions and millions of people knew that, but the radical left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that we have ever been waged before.
This is why the unselect committee of political thugs who were given a full and complete pardon by the person who wielded the now illegally used auto pin deleted and destroyed all evidence and information from their corrupt and vicious witch hunt against me and many other people whose lives were completely shattered and destroyed by this historically criminal event.
Remember, it all began with dirty cop James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognically impaired sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous accusation that they spied on my campaign.
Whoever had control of the auto pin is just the beginning.
The biggest crime of all is that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
I, MAGA, won the election by millions of votes, and everyone knows it.
God bless America, for the fight has just begun.
He means it too.
And we all watched it for ourselves.
We were there that night.
I mean, this is the biggest unbelievable event that has happened in our country's history.
They stopped and they stole an election from President Trump.
That was when they stopped counting and they started coming out with every excuse.
We all stopped and watched in horror.
We knew exactly what was going to happen.
And then, of course, they had to wrap the Capitol in barbed wire.
Wonder why that was?
Because they knew that you knew.
They were waiting on a response from you.
They knew exactly what they were doing and they knew what the repercussions were going to be.
So they're all trying to scramble and cover for Comey.
What does that tell you?
John Brennan, who has lied to Congress under oath, says that Comey didn't know what 86 means.
He says, throughout my career, I've never heard 86 to be used for any type of intent to kill or assassinate someone.
86 is, you know, let's hear it.
Throughout my career, I've never heard 86 be used for any type of intent to kill or assassinate someone.
86 is, you know, you discard something.
You just, you know, ignore it.
Or it's not something that Jim Comey would have been advocating in terms of any type of violence.
And again, you know, he took down the post, I think, was the right thing to do.
But again, it's so unfortunate that individuals, including public officials, have just tried to fan the fires here and just bring increasing sort of anger against Jim Comey.
Against Jim Comey.
Oh, poor, poor Jim Comey, we should all say.
Please, no, it's not going to happen from this crowd.
We know exactly who James Comey is.
And, of course, Insurrection Barbie does too.
She says, everyone needs to watch this and remember who James Comey really is.
The fact that he has avoided a jail cell thus far is miraculous in the worst way possible.
So here he is.
He says, I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message.
I didn't realize some folks would associate those numbers with violence.
It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind.
So I took the post down.
Oh, how brave of you, how bold of you.
Please, everybody knows who this shady character is.
So I'm going to play this for you.
If you don't remember who he is, you certainly will start to remember.
Your memory is going to become quite good as a result.
Here he is.
I don't see the disconnect between the two of us, and I'm sorry that I'm missing it.
Here are you and the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, answering the same question.
Do you think this is vindication?
It is.
I mean, the FBI's had to wait two years while the president and his followers lied about the institution.
Finally, the truth gets told.
Does your report vindicate Mr. Comey?
It doesn't vindicate anyone at the FBI who touched this, including the leadership.
The IG says you should feel no vindication.
Well, maybe it turns upon how we understand the word.
What I mean is that the FBI was accused of treason, of illegal spying, of tapping Mr. Trump's wires illegally, of opening an investigation without justification, of being a criminal conspiracy to unseat, defeat, and then unseat a president.
All of that was nonsense.
Here is what you said about the FISA process and what the Inspector General Horowitz said this week.
Take a look.
I have total confidence that the FISA process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DOJ and the FBI.
We identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications.
Seven in the first application and a total of 17 by the final renewal application.
17 significant errors in the FISA process, and you say that it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way.
Yeah, he's right.
I was wrong.
I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and justice had built over 20 years.
Again, here's your version.
And again, here is the Inspector General.
Steele Dossier Controversy 00:03:39
My recollection was it was part of a broader mosaic of facts that were laid before the FISA judge to obtain a FISA warrant.
And we concluded that the Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order.
Horowitz says it wasn't part, as you told Brett Baer, it wasn't part of a broader mosaic.
He said it played an essential role in establishing probable cause.
In fact, he says, if it hadn't been for the Steele dossier, the FBI probably wouldn't have even submitted a FISA application that had- I'm sure he and I are saying different things.
There's the issue of how reliable the Steele dossier, in fact, was.
On January 6th, 2017, in the Trump Tower, you brief Donald Trump, president-elect, about the Steele dossier.
That same month, the FBI talks to Steele's main Russian contact, the main person on whom he based the dossier, who says, according to the IG report, quote, Steele misstated or exaggerated the primary sub-source's statements in multiple sections of the reporting.
Director Comey, not only do you fail to go back to the president-elect or president after January 20th and tell them, oh, you know, that report I briefed you on?
Turns out it's bunk, but the FBI goes back and renews its FISA application three more times.
And by this point, the FBI knows that the Steele reporting is not credible.
Did you know all of this?
All of what?
Everything that we're talking about here.
Did you know that, in fact, the Steele report was the key for probable cause?
Did you know that the FBI had talked to the Russian contact and he said what Steele said he had told him was not true?
Did you know this?
You're the FBI director.
First, again, the report will speak for itself.
I don't believe the FBI concluded that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub-source.
But no, I didn't.
As the director, you're not kept informed on the details of an investigation.
So, no, in general, I didn't know what they'd learned from the sub-source.
I didn't know the particulars of the investigation.
But this isn't some investigation, sir.
This is an investigation of the campaign of the man who is the president of the United States.
And there is, I have left for last, the worst misconduct.
In August of 2016, just two weeks into the investigation, the CIA tells the FBI that it actually has a relationship with Carter Page, that when he has these meetings with the Russians, he actually goes back and he tells the CIA about it.
But you never tell the FISA court that.
And in fact, in 2017, an FBI lawyer doctors a document.
The CIA said, oh, Carter Page, he's a source.
And he puts in the application, he's not a source.
Yeah, I got to take issue with one of the, I'll answer the question, but one of the predications of your question, the Inspector General did not find misconduct by any FBI people.
He found mistakes and negligent and oversight.
No, no, no, that's not true.
In the case of Kevin Kleinsmith, he has referred it for a criminal investigation.
Right, but that's not been resolved, this business with the lawyer changing some email to a partner on the team.
I mean, you make it sound like it's not much.
It's not a problem.
No, no, it's very important.
It's very important.
A source to not a source is a big deal.
Remember how we got here?
The FBI was accused of criminal misconduct.
Remember, I was going to jail, and lots of other people were going to jail.
People on this network said it over and over and over again.
The Inspector General did not find misconduct by FBI personnel, did not find political bias, did not find illegal conduct.
Inspector General found significant mistakes, and that is not something to sneeze at.
Audio Reveals Misconduct 00:10:44
That's really important.
But the American people, especially your viewers, need to realize they were given false information about the FBI.
It's honest, it is not political, it is flawed.
It's unclear what the motivations were.
On the one hand, gross incompetence, negligence.
On the other hand, intentionality.
Gross negligence, or they intended to do it.
They intended to lie to the FISA court.
And I'm just confused.
I don't see the disconnect between the two of us, and I'm sorry that I'm missing it.
Yeah.
We do not believe this guy is the biggest liar.
So it looks like this particular video was obtained by DKNARBZI3C5 on TikTok, and it is a perfectly put together.
It's a reminder of what all we've seen and observed and have been through under the Biden regime.
Unbelievable they were able to get away with this stuff.
Hopefully not.
I'm hoping that President Trump has got it all and everybody on his team realizes how important it is to get this whole thing handled and to expose these traitors that are in our country.
And these people have been at the highest levels in our government.
They have been running the show.
If we do not get them out under President Trump, there's no way to get them out.
We're in serious, serious trouble as a nation if it isn't handled.
There is a tremendous amount of pressure.
I understand that on all of those that have to see this whole operation through, but it must be done.
And there is not a day that I don't pray for President Trump.
I am terrified of what could actually happen to him with this group in charge and still in government and still on the street and still calling the shots because they are.
You saw that from Comey yesterday.
They have not backed off.
They are not afraid.
They are not worried in the least.
So please keep him and his family in your prayers because they haven't stopped.
And they won't.
They have too much to lose.
So have you noticed, and I'm sure you all have, how defensive the media was this week?
And we were all sitting there scratching our heads saying, hmm, why?
are they so defensive about all of their lack of coverage?
All of a sudden, it was like this, you know, this moment where they wanted to bring it out and talk to us, put it on the table for us to have these conversations, how they were completely blindsided by Joe Biden's dementia.
Please.
Well, they knew this little number was coming out.
They saw it coming.
On Friday, the audio from Robert Herr's interview surfaced showing Biden struggling with names and dates.
So again, as President Trump was asking everyone during this time, he was saying, who is running the country?
He kept asking that on Truth Social.
It's because he, of course, knew Dementia Joe.
He could not even keep or stay focused in this interview.
It was a sight to behold.
If you've listened to this whole thing, oh my gosh.
I mean, it is so bad.
He was actually kind.
Alex Thompson was kind about how he laid it out for everybody.
He says the audio shows what the transcript lacks.
You have Biden's dry whisper voice and the long silences as he struggles to speak and remember details.
Those often were supplied by his attorneys who acted as caretakers of his memory.
There was also a clock in the background as a metronome.
So you had all of this stuff going.
And here's just, I'm going to put this into the chat so that you can all listen to it.
I mean, I really didn't want to play this because it's a whole bunch of what we've had of Joe for four years.
And I think we can all safely say we don't have to go through that again on this show.
But if you are so inclined, you can watch it on your own time.
And so I put it into chat so that you can all have it.
I don't think we need to suffer like this, but I will read the transcript to you.
So here's how it goes.
All right.
But here's what it sounded like in a quiet room where the dead air between Biden's pauses is emphasized by the tick tock of the clock.
Okay, yeah, tick.
Bo had passed and tick tock, tick tock, tick.
This is personal.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick.
The genius tick of the book.
And the title, Promise Me Dad, was a tick tock tick.
I know you're all close with your sons and daughters, but Bo was tick tock, like my right arm and Hunt was my left.
Okay, so these now understand why I wasn't going to read that to you, right?
Okay, good.
I'm glad I'm forgiven.
Though it was a friendly interview, it became somewhat tense when Biden's attorney, Bob Baer, chastised the prosecutor, Kickbomb, in this exchange over why Biden had kept a memo about Afghanistan.
Your answer is that you don't know, Bauer instructed the president.
Listen here.
So he goes in basically saying, you have no idea.
And the whole Afghanistan debacle, to think that this man was in charge of our country, he wasn't.
Absolutely not.
And this video proves it.
He had no idea what was going on when he was the resident.
Throughout his interview, Biden sounded more like a nostalgic, grandfatherly storyteller than a potential defendant who could be accused of hoarding secret papers.
He waxed on about several topics, including shooting a bow and arrow in Mongolia.
I mean, they even have that exchange.
Well, after the her report was released, but before we had the transcripts, Biden slammed her for asking about when Bo died.
But the audio shows that was not true.
So Alex Thompson put this whole thing together.
I am going to play the segments after this interview because it was so bad.
I mean, you could hear more from the clock.
The clock made more sense.
It was the star of the show than Biden or anybody else, other than his lawyers that were there to just try to rescue him.
And that didn't work well either.
So there was a reason why Biden, the White House, and all of the others up there were working so hard, Merritt Garland, to make sure that this was not released because it proves exactly what we were all saying.
What the media ignored, even though they knew.
It proves everything that we were saying.
Dementia Joe had absolutely and was not running this country.
No question.
There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died.
How in the hell dare he raise that?
Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business.
There's even reference.
Okay.
There's even reference.
So it's low, and I apologize for that, but he was trying to defend himself.
And then they sent out who else but the cackling hyena herself.
They were so upset about this transcript and what actually transpired and what was discovered that, of course, Kamala Harris also made a point of attacking her.
The way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated, she says.
We should expect that there should be a higher level of integrity, she says.
And what I saw of that report last night, I believe, is, as a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate.
October 7th, Israel experienced a horrific attack and I will tell you, we got the calls, the president and myself, in the hours after that occurred.
It was an intense moment for the commander-in-chief of the United States of America.
And I was in almost every meeting with the president in the hours and days that followed.
Countless hours with the Terry of Defense, the Secretary of State, the heads of our intelligence community, and the president was in front of and on top of it all, asking questions and requiring that America's military and intelligence community and diplomatic community would figure out and know how many people were dead,
how many are Americans, how many hostages.
Is the situation stable?
He was in front of it all, coordinating and directing leaders who are in charge of America's national security, not to mention our allies around the globe.
For days and up until now, months.
So the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated.
Gratuitous.
And so I will say that when it comes to the role and responsibility of a prosecutor in a situation like that, we should expect that there would be a higher level of integrity than what we saw.
Okay, what an acting job first off.
But here's the thing.
She was a part of every single meeting, every single discussion, and you heard that from her.
That's why I played the whole thing.
I'm sorry.
She Completely Implicates Herself 00:04:48
I know she makes me ill too.
I can't stand it.
But what I'm saying here is that she completely implicates herself.
So I didn't want you to miss that moment.
It's always fun when they absolutely play into the hand.
But she got out there swinging.
I guess she was trying to make it up for the primaries when she treated Joe Biden as badly as he did, to where she and Jill will never have any semblance of a normal relationship because Jill will never ever forgive her for that.
So, this was her opportunity, hoping, of course, that the torch would be passed to her and that she would have the support of the Bidens when running against him.
They knew exactly what kind of state he was in.
She was just starting to lick her chops at this point, and she was ready to step in and to Vend because she had to.
The Biden spokesperson, Kelly Scully, says the transcripts were released by the Biden administration more than a year ago.
The audio does nothing but confirm what is already public.
Biden lawyer Bauer and Sickle, Cotton, and special counsel, her didn't respond to the request for comments.
The interview happened on October 8th and 9th in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks on Israel.
Biden is noticeably more engaged and vigorous on October 9th than the October 8th interview.
So here you have this from Axios.
They're the ones that, of course, dropped it and don't miss that they dropped it on a Friday evening, right?
When everybody else goes home, this is why you had the lamestream media talking and trying to defend themselves all week, but they dropped it on a Friday evening, okay, right before the weekend, because, hey, I mean, only a political rendezvous is going to cover it.
We're the only show in town.
Everybody else goes home.
No, but that there's a reason why they decided to drop it when they did, which is interesting.
So, the reality check with Biden, while Biden had a clear memory lapse and needed assistance at times with words such as fax machine and poster board, overall he was engaged in the interview.
He cracked jokes and made humorous asides, and he was able to respond to a general gist of the questions.
But he had little memory of how he came to have classified documents after he left office as vice president.
On October 8th, the first day of the interview and the day after the Hamas attack on Israel, Biden often was slow and forgetful of basic facts.
That day, it took her more than two hours to clearly determine how the documents could have ended up in various personal desks and file cabinets after Biden left office.
That was because Biden kept veering into other subjects.
So they said on October 9th, he sounded more engaged and vigorous, which tells me they made sure that he got juiced up.
He got to see the doc.
But you've got the entire interview here, and you have so many people that are weighing in.
And the fact that he had no idea when his own son died.
I mean, Laura Loomer's weighing in.
She says, look, you'd think a guy who literally made up so many fake stories about his dead son would know the date his son actually died.
It's insane.
Joe Biden said, Bo died in 2017.
He died in 2015.
She said, hopefully everyone can now admit wholeheartedly that the 2020 election was stolen because it was.
I mean, you had, they stole the election.
They basically held America captive with this resident.
And look at the damage that happened.
We even got a Supreme Court justice, Katanji Brown.
Oh, wow.
So you think that there wasn't a reason?
They had to get as much done as they possibly could, and they used that auto pin non-stop to do it.
Just awful, really bad.
But there's more.
I know, there's more, of course.
There has been a shocking revelation on Joe Rogan's podcast that exposed Facebook's experiment manipulating the emotions of 700,000 users without consent.
One user even attempted suicide.
So how has Mark Zuckerberg faced no consequences?
I mean, don't you think it's time to hold big tech accountable?
Debbie Dingell: Hard at Work 00:02:04
I certainly do.
This guy is living his best life over there.
I also want to give a shout out to JJRSVL for putting out a post on this show and getting everybody familiar with it.
I really appreciate you all sharing the show and getting people to join it every Saturday.
We have a good time over here.
There's never a dull moment, that's for sure, especially when the lamestream media tries to drop a number on everybody on a Friday night.
But it's one that we already knew.
I mean, where is everybody up there?
Why aren't they doing anything about it?
I don't know.
They all say they are.
Yep, it's what we don't see.
But we're ready to see it.
We really are.
Time is ticking, just like it was when Joe Biden was trying to come up with an answer.
All right, so we are going to move into our next segment.
What is wrong with these people?
Well, I can answer that one for you pretty quickly.
And that is everything.
I don't know how they get these positions.
I really don't.
Representatives Debbie Dingell and another that were just falling asleep right there in the hearing.
Now, this is after they've been on a break, right?
I mean, they just couldn't help themselves.
So at Clown World underscore is reporting, another Democrat hard at work.
The memes were absolutely brutal, but here is a close-up look of one of the representatives on the left, Debbie Dingell, who you all know, who is hard at work.
This just kept going on.
We're sitting here, the American people trying to get work done, waiting for them to get off vacation, and they fall asleep right there at the wheel.
All right, so in case you missed it, is next.
President's Order for Veterans Center 00:07:09
We are going to hop right into that.
Now, these are stories on past shows that we've covered.
It's basic updates on what we've covered in the past, just so that you can keep up on some of those stories.
So here we go.
Okay, so we've got President Trump.
Man, I mean, the man just does not stop.
He really doesn't.
I don't know how he has time just for himself.
Now, I know he's got a Diet Coke button that keeps him going, right?
I mean, I don't have the luxury of that over here, but this man is 24-7, constantly working.
I mean, are you tired of winning?
I guess when he asked us that, we should have known at that moment that there was a reason why he was going to ask you that question.
And that is because he's not going to stop.
He's not going to stop winning, and he's going to make sure that you are along and engaged in the ride.
And he used to be really funny about that, right?
He would laugh at everybody.
You're going to be so tired of winning, you just can't stand to win anymore.
You're going to say, no, Trump, no more of this winning.
Well, we're doing good things.
President Trump is for sure.
He announced, so this is a great story.
And it couldn't have happened at a better place in Los Angeles where I live.
But look at this.
Trump has announced that the National Center for Homeless Vets to be paid for with funds previously used to house illegal immigrants, as it should be.
So on Friday, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a center for homeless veterans entitled Keeping Promises to Veterans and Establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence.
The order will create the National Center for Warrior Independence in Los Angeles, California on the Veterans Affairs campus.
The funding will come from money that was previously used on illegal immigrants.
This is a total reversal.
I mean, unbelievable.
According to LA via website, the center was established in 1887 through a grant from former Republican Senator John Percival Jones, Arcadia Bandini DeBaker, and John Wolfskill.
Trump writes, this once great place declined over time, not accommodating veterans and allowed other entities to use the property for other means, and that's exactly what it was.
I mean, they were renting this place out for significantly below market prices.
They leased parts of the property to a private school, private companies, and the baseball team of the University of California, LA, Los Angeles.
And that was the thing.
I mean, it wasn't being used for homeless veterans, which we have plenty of.
So I am so glad to see this.
Communicating the problem of homelessness for veterans, Trump said, as 2024, there were approximately 3,000 homeless veterans in LA, more than any other city in the country, and accounting for about 10% of all of America's homeless veterans.
Most of these heroes live in squalor in Los Angeles, Skid Row.
You don't even want to drive in that area.
It is so scary over there.
It's awful what has happened to LA under the Democrats' rule.
And that's all you can say.
That's what it is.
They can take full responsibility for what has happened to my home state.
That's so true because they have control over it.
They keep counting until they win.
And then you watch the city just completely go down.
So this is a fantastic, fantastic order.
I know that the left is completely reeling over this one, but my gosh, what a wonderful thing.
The order's goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans by 2028.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated the net cost of illegal immigration at the beginning of that year to be $150 billion.
During that term, former Resident Joe Biden, we saw the outrageous steps taken to accommodate people who were illegally entering our country.
Some of these efforts are ongoing, but it is absolutely a no-brainer that veterans should take priority over illegal immigrants.
But of course, under Biden, that was not the case.
And the Democrats and the Autopen.
Then we have another great story that is out, and this is the first federal judge who says that Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport Trend de Aragua gang members.
I know, we really have to celebrate these things, I guess.
I mean, when you've got a judicial coup, you do.
So just in a federal judge in Pennsylvania, became the first to back President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, saying that Trump's description of Trende Aragua's incursion into the United States satisfies the AEA's definition.
So of course, you had numerous judges, including Judge Boesberg, who ordered planes carrying Venezuelan gang members en route to El Salvador to be turned around.
Of course, earlier this month, a federal judge issued a permanent injunction and barred the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act, AEA, to remove Venezuelan gang members and transport them to El Salvador.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, called the president's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act unlawful.
According to Judge Rodriguez, the AEA only applies when the U.S. is at war and under an armed attack.
Well, aren't we?
Hello.
I mean, you've got cartel members that are coming into our country that are raping and murdering our citizens.
You want proof?
Well, talk to some of those families.
Talk to some of those children that are growing up without a mother.
Talk to the child, the daughter.
Talk to many of these victims, and you will see exactly what's been happening.
If you want to talk about war, it's here, and it happened at our border.
So, of course, you had last month a federal judge who halted the deportation of suspected Trend de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
And then you had U.S. District Judge David Brionis, a Clinton appointee on Friday, who ordered the release of two suspected TDA members.
The judge admonished DOJ lawyers and said that they had not demonstrated that they had any lawful basis to keep the couple detained.
Judge Brionis' ruling applies to all illegal aliens facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act in his Texas Judicial District.
Other federal judges in New York, Colorado, and South Texas have issued similar rulings.
Reducing Costs with Bold Moves 00:15:52
This is what we have been up against, but we finally got one, yes, in Pennsylvania, who absolutely agreed with President Trump.
So having done its job, the court now leaves it to the political branches of the government and ultimately to the people who elect those individuals to decide whether the laws and those executing them continue to reflect their will.
So it was a 43-page ruling.
The Trump administration must provide detainees subject to removal under AEA a 21-day notice and an opportunity to be heard.
The notice must be in English and Spanish and if needed, Spanish to English.
Interpreters shall be provided for any necessary hearings.
Things are moving along.
But we're going to head right on into Trump's winning week.
And what a week it was.
I don't know if you're as proud as me, but I've been smiling all week.
Every single time I got to see President Trump doing his thing, making the deals in the Middle East and the way they treated him, this is how he should have been, he should always be treated here in our country.
It's sad when we actually see other countries who celebrate and respect our president more than he is here.
And it's, I'll never understand it, but let's celebrate it regardless of what they do.
Okay, so here we go.
Winning.
Trump has cut national debt growth by 92%.
Trump has been in office for only a few months and has already managed to cut national growth by 92%.
This is definitely one of the things that would cause people to say, I voted for this.
So while the left rants, raves, over cuts, various government programs, Trump is securing the nation's financial future by getting spending under control.
And remember, while Trump and Republicans are taking care of this serious business, Democrats are obsessing over and defending these illegal immigrant criminals, the cartel members, right?
I mean, they want, please bring back the cartel.
Never seen anything like it.
So Trump has slowed national debt growth by 92%.
Just an incredible feat.
Democrats and the media will try to find a way to spend this negatively.
However, this is wonderful news for the country.
Absolutely magnificent.
And the economic update of what President Trump has been doing is just right here for all to see.
I mean, when you look at inflation dropping to 2.3%, it's the lowest since 2021.
And the Treasury records the second biggest surplus in history.
This is thanks to Trump's record tariff revenues.
I mean, on Tuesday, the monthly inflation numbers came in below expectations.
Absolutely.
For the third straight month, the inflation rate for April came in at 2.3%.
Grocery items saw their biggest decline in five years.
What happened between five years ago and now?
Well, gas prices are also down.
It's great to have a president who loves this country.
And of course, you've got all of these different people that are talking about it.
You have Zero Hedge that reported that they discovered why the U.S. government borrowing needs, and it was shockingly lower than previously expected.
The latest Treasury monthly statement revealed that in April, the U.S. Treasury generated a $258.4 billion surplus after last month's $160.5 billion deficit.
This is the second biggest surplus on record, with just the $308 billion bumper surplus in 2021 bigger.
This is all thanks to Trump.
He did this.
Trump's tariff policy that the Democrats, their far-left media and pundits said would never happen are happening.
So now if we could get Powell on board and get his act together and have him stop punishing American workers, we would be in really, really great shape.
Now we talk a lot about eggs on this show because the media was talking about eggs on this show.
Well, the U.S. egg prices have plummeted to 12.7%.
It is the biggest monthly drop since 1984.
Yes, since 1984, you haven't seen eggs at these prices.
So they took a nosedive by 12.7% in April, marking the steepest monthly decline since March of 1984.
It's according to the Consumer Price Index data that was released on Tuesday.
The average price for a dozen A eggs fell to $5.12.
It's down from a record of $6.23 in March.
President Trump is keeping his promises.
In January 2017, as Trump assumed office, the average price for a dozen eggs was approximately $1.32.
Throughout his tenure, prices remained relatively steady.
When Joe Biden took office in 2021, the average price for a dozen A eggs was a modest $1.47.
Well, fast forward to December of 2024, that same dozen cost a staggering $4.15, nearly a 200% increase.
That was according to the Federal Reserve in St. Louis.
So the Biden administration, they had tried to blame all of these other entities like avian influenza, outbreaks, supply chain disruptions.
However, these excuses, they completely fell flat considering the broader context of rampant inflation and economic policies that have devalued the purchasing power of the average American.
Everybody was feeling it under Biden.
They absolutely were.
He also signed a historic executive order.
President Trump, he said, okay, what's hurting Americans?
Well, he knows pharmaceuticals are hurting America.
And personally, so he worked to reduce the drug cost for Americans.
Now, this is against several people in Congress, as you know, who love to get that money.
Any representative, Senate too, who are able to get these funds from all of these pharmaceutical companies, the lame stream media, they're not happy with this news, not at all.
So President Trump has officially announced his plan and his executive order to reduce costs by getting tough on other countries and drug manufacturers to ensure that Americans get the best deal.
He was so funny about addressing this too when he gave the story about his friend.
So he said that he will reduce the costs by 30% to 80%.
The executive order, it directs the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to ensure that foreign countries can no longer take advantage of Americans as other administration officials work to negotiate with manufacturers.
And here are the points of the order.
Reducing drug prices for Americans and taxpayers.
So President Trump signed this executive order to bring the prices for Americans and taxpayers that pay for prescription drugs in line with those who pay in similar nations.
So the order directs the U.S. Trade Representative and the Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States.
The order also instructs the administration to communicate price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to establish that America, the largest purchaser and funder of prescription drugs in the world, gets the best deal.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services will establish a mechanism through which American patriots can buy their drugs directly from manufacturers who sell to Americans at the most favored nation price, bypassing the middleman.
If drug manufacturers fail to offer the most favored nation pricing, the order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to one, propose rules that impose most favored nation pricing, and two, take other aggressive measures to significantly reduce the cost of prescription drugs to the American consumer and to end the anti-competitive practices.
So he's getting a better deal for all of us.
He's got this plan all figured out.
Is going to be great for so many people that are so dependent on these drugs.
It is time that we had a president who was working on our behalf and working on behalf he is.
President Trump and UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer, they announced a historic trade deal, and it didn't make a lot of people happy, including China, who was looking on.
On Thursday, he announced the first trade deal over tariffs and reciprocal trade with the United Kingdom.
This was huge.
We've been talking about this, the fairness, how we needed to make a deal, how a lot of people were shocked that one had never been made before.
But the UK joins the United States in affirming that fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade.
And in addition, the UK will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against American products.
You had the UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer, who joined the ceremony via phone, stated that with this president and this prime minister, we've managed to achieve what many people have tried to achieve for many years.
And he was very pleased, he said.
The White House provided a fact sheet with full details on the agreement.
And he said, you know, this is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our first announcement.
Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, will follow, he said.
And then he teased that there was going to be, and everybody was watching their phones, that there was this big deal, this big announcement.
This was on Sunday.
And when he reported all of this, we were all thrilled.
The tariff negotiations between U.S. and China officials are also going to continue on.
President Trump, he made the announcement in the Oval Office with Vice President Vance and members of the cabinet.
This was a huge moment, and especially with the UK.
They need it.
They're now starting to look at their borders going, okay, wow, we need to do something.
We need to clean up things in our part of the world like the United States is.
Apparently, they were all under the impression that there was going to be this new world order, and they all could not wait to throw their hats in there and rule the world with Obama and everybody else.
But that plan has been spoiled.
President Trump is looking inward, not outward.
He wants to make our country great before he starts working on everything else.
I mean, he puts in where he needs to, like in the case of Russia and Ukraine and others.
But my gosh, he knows there is a ton of work here that needs to be done, and he's doing it.
Trump secures trillions and strategic wins in the Middle East.
This was huge.
Qatar offered to give the White House an airplane, which was our question of the day, that they had bought from America, and liberals called it a bribe.
Okay.
On the same trip, they entered into discussions over $1.2 trillion in commercial and defense deals that will benefit the U.S.
And that is the exact opposite of a bribe.
So President Trump's four-day tour in the Middle East, I mean, he just did incredible things.
He covered Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates.
It was a clear success.
It yielded over $2 trillion in new investment, and it reinvigorated U.S. diplomatic influence in the region.
In addition to securing economic benefits, Trump opened preliminary discussions with Iran on limiting its nuclear program and claimed some progress towards ending the war in Ukraine.
He also became the first U.S. president in more than 25 years to hold a face-to-face meeting with the Syrian head of state and announce that sanctions on Syria would be lifted, a move later clarified by Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a temporary waiver.
Now, this is a big deal.
I mean, lifting sanctions on Syria was one of the most controversial outcomes of the trip.
The current ruling authority under this group seized control by ousting Bashar al-Assad, and it now governs through authoritarian rule.
The group enforces strict Sharia law, it suppresses dissent, and it maintains deep roots in jihadist networks formally aligned with al-Qaeda.
HTS is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, and it is not recognized by the U.S., the UN, or most Western governments.
Now, critics argue that removing sanctions contradicts decades of U.S. foreign policy, and it legitimizes a brutal fundamentalist regime.
But despite the backlash, Trump's decision reflects on core principles of his foreign policy approach, and that is direct engagement, transactional leverage, and a willingness to bypass traditional diplomacy in favor of strategic gain.
It's often referred to as the Trump doctrine.
This style emphasizes deal-making over ideology.
It prioritizes U.S. interests through bold moves that sidestep established norms.
The announcement came just as Hamas released Eden Alexander, the last known American hostage, and Trump's envoy met with him and other freed captives, suggesting that sanctions relief may have served as a diplomatic leverage.
So this, you know, even though a lot of people are saying, oh my gosh, you're, you know, he's meeting with terrorists, and yes, they absolutely have a history, but President Trump wants to make sure that we have got some agreements in place, and he's doing that everywhere.
Trump's Nuclear Doctrine 00:11:40
I mean, when you look at this particular trip, they knew who was in charge.
And under Joe Biden, we would have gotten nowhere with these people.
I mean, heck, he opened our borders up to anybody and everyone.
It didn't matter their background.
So it was only a matter of time.
In Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with the Crown Prince, Mohammed bid Salman, and secured $600 billion in strategic investment deals, along with a $142 billion arms agreement, the largest ever signed.
U.S. firms were selected for major infrastructure projects, including King Salman and also International Airport, as well as key defense initiatives.
The deals strengthened military cooperation and delivered a significant boost to American industry.
Huge.
And then he met in Qatar, where the two finalized a 1.2 economic exchange that included a record-setting order of 210 Boeing jets and expanded a defense procurement.
A Qatari Royal also offered a luxury Boeing 747-8 valued at approximately $400 million for temporary use by the U.S. Department of Defense as Air Force One, prompting political criticism.
That's all we heard about.
Trump emphasized that the aircraft was not a personal gift, unlike the ones received by the Clinton Foundation.
I added that part in there because we all know how much the Clinton Foundation has received from the Middle East.
I mean, let's just be honest.
But President Trump, he absolutely said, look, it's not a personal gift.
It's a gesture to assist the United States, stating that it would eventually be transferred to his presidential library.
Despite the controversy, the agreements delivered significant benefits to American manufacturers and defense contractors.
As a result, I don't know if you looked at the stock market, but wow, it just went huge.
So he just did great.
His final stop at the UAE produced one of the most forward-looking agreements of the tour.
Met with President Mohammed bin Zaid al-Nayyan.
And the two countries reaffirmed a $1.4 trillion 10-year investment framework targeting artificial intelligence and advanced technology.
They also agreed to build a massive AI center in Abu Dhabi.
And in recognition of the strengthened ties, Trump received the Order of Zaid, UAE's highest civilian honor.
And they confirmed that the U.S. will now allow the UAE to import 500,000 NVIDIA H-100 AI chips annually, marking the first such agreement and solidifying a critical technological partnership.
So he is something else.
I mean, of course, you remember what happened with Biden's Middle East strategy that resulted in gas prices doubling, billions of dollars in U.S. weapons falling into Taliban's hands, of course.
You had Hamas invading Israel.
You had Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
You had Hezbollah and Iran raising their ugly heads.
And yet, the media barely reported on Trump's wins in the Middle East, while liberals and Democrats continued to call him a failure.
You can't please some people.
You'll never be able to, ever.
So, President Trump is working also on Iran.
That is a big one with the nuclear situation.
He's very aware of how dangerous it is and how close they are to having those weapons.
And he is also in talks about that.
So, he's working overtime.
He sees the problems, and he's working on making sure that we remedy them before they become one.
So, world peace, genocide, refugees, and freed hostages, President Trump is all over it.
He is winning all of these things.
And he announces a full and immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan after U.S.-led talks.
If anybody, again, can do this, it's President Trump.
Just the mere fact that he was able to get these two to come to the table.
A continued period of intense cross-border hostilities that had escalated to the most severe confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in decades.
You had a ceasefire agreement was reached following overnight negotiations.
It was mediated by the United States with key involvement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.
They were both in on this together.
And President Trump shared the announcement on Truth Social.
He said, after a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.
Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So he's just absolutely doing amazing.
I mean, this is huge.
And others are really starting to look at this.
It was confirmed by both nations.
You had Pakistan's foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, who announced that the ceasefire would take effect immediately, emphasizing Pakistan's commitment to regional peace and security.
If there was a deal to be done, President Trump is going to make sure that he does it.
And of course, Secretary Marco Rubio is just unreal.
I mean, he is just, he is everywhere.
I mean, the guy is incredible.
I never thought I was going to feel so good about Marco Rubio, but I love the job that he's doing with President Trump.
I think he is a major asset.
He has surprised me in so many ways and in good ways.
And I'm so glad that President Trump tapped him.
And he saw something in Secretary Marco Rubio, and he was right on the money with him.
So he puts out his own post.
He says, over the last 48 hours, VP Vance and I have engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including prime ministers and the external minister.
And he said they are working to make sure that this deal is brought forward.
And it was.
There are reports that Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement.
Now, according to the Indian defense officials, Pakistan initiated drone incursions into the area targeting these particular parts that were a part of this deal.
But since then, everybody's asking, hey, what happened to the ceasefire?
We're hearing explosions, but we haven't heard anything since.
So whatever happened has started to play down.
Thanks to President Trump.
Then this one, of course, if anybody can do it, it's President Trump.
He will be speaking to Putin and Zelensky on Monday to try to stop the bloodbath war.
President Trump announced he'll speak to President Zelensky and also Vladimir Putin, President Putin, on Monday via telephone.
He just said, look, we've got to stop this bloodbath that is killing on average more than 5,000 Russians and Ukrainian soldiers a week and trade.
And he said he is going to sit them both down.
He is going to work out an agreement.
Putin's demand to end the war have remained largely consistent since the beginning.
He has been non-negotiable that Ukraine must become a neutral country and abandon any plans to join NATO.
He has also demanded that Russian sovereignty over the territories, you know, including Crimea, Donetsk, and all of these different ones in that region, lifting all of Western sanctions imposed due to the invasion.
He wants that to stop.
So we will see because you've got, of course, Zelensky, who just runs the fence every single time there's a place to run.
There he is.
He's just a rat.
Can't take this guy seriously.
He obviously does not care about human life.
They're kidnapping people off the street to put it at the front line of this war.
So many unnecessary deaths under Zelensky.
I'm just hoping that this gets resolved.
And if we have a chance, it's with President Trump at the helm.
So President Trump has given Iran a proposal for the nuclear deal.
This is a big deal.
This is a really big deal.
Because when you find out how much is in there and how much they have, Trump says that they know they have to move quickly or something bad, something bad is going to happen.
And he has taken the bull by the horns with all of this.
I mean, you've got Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who warned this week that the United States is facing a critical moment with Iran to curb its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon and limit its uranium enrichment.
U.S. and Iranian officials have held four rounds of talks, primarily in OMEN, since Trump took office to address Tehran's nuclear program.
It's a big, big deal, especially when you start to realize what they actually have.
So the International Atomic Energy Agency, often referred to as the United Nations Nuclear Watchdog, noticed in March a report that Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium had alarmingly grown from 182 kilograms to 275 kilograms, approximately 401 pounds to 606 pounds.
This was in early 2025.
So once you're at 60, you're at 90% of the way there.
You are in essence in a threshold of a nuclear weapon state, which is what Iran basically has become.
This is what Rubio told everybody on Thursday on Hannity's show.
He said they are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon.
If they decide to do so, they could do so very quickly.
If they stockpile enough of that 60% enriched, they could very quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it.
That's the danger we face right now.
That's the urgency here.
So they know what they've got.
President Trump also said on Thursday in the United Arab Emirates that the U.S. and Iran have sort of agreed to the terms on the nuclear deal.
And so they've been in these talks and he says Iran has agreed to, has sort of agreed to the terms.
Urgency Of Nuclear Talks 00:14:43
They're not going to make, I call it in a friendly way, nuclear dust.
This is what President Trump told reporters.
We're not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran.
So congressional Republicans are urging President Trump to remain committed to a hardline Iran strategy calling for the complete dismantlement of the regime's nuclear enrichment capabilities in a letter that drew wide support.
If anybody can get it done, again, it's President Trump, but he knows what he has with his group.
This was lovely.
I mean, unless you ask the left.
I was totally and completely touched by this.
The first wave of white Afrikaner refugees arrive in the U.S. under Trump's program.
No gang ties, just patriotic families that were fleeing racial persecution, waving American flags.
So there they were, just a beautiful group of people with flags in their hands, a lot of children, a lot of women, families.
Not like you're seeing the left defend, completely the opposite.
So you had a total of 59 individuals, and they arrived at Dulles International Airport, and it was under a new refugee program established by an executive order that was signed in February.
President Trump is following through on his promise to extend a hand to one of the world's most persecuted yet ignored minority groups, the white South African Afrikaners.
In February 7th, 2025, President Trump signed this executive order halting all U.S. aid to South Africa, citing government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discrimination property confiscation.
That was what was going on with all of these farmers.
It's really, truly, if you read some of these stories, they were gut-wrenching, horrible, the way that they have been treated.
And so this was such an effort for President Trump to reel this back in.
And so he made the executive order.
mandates that the U.S. promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping such discrimination.
It also directs the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.
Following the executive order, the U.S. Embassy in South Africa reported receiving a list of over 67,000 individuals expressing interest in refugee status under this program.
So U.S. officials have begun interviewing applicants with more than 30 approvals reportedly granted as of late May 2025.
And so you've never seen a group like the left completely freak out over this.
I've never seen anything worse.
But when you want to talk about racial discrimination, when you want to talk about a whole bunch of racists come out and that aren't in favor of this program, all you had to do was turn on the MSM because you know what?
They were loud and proud about being against this program.
These are clearly people that are coming to our country to avoid the atrocities of their own.
And yet they could not stand it.
Why?
Because of the color of their skin.
So it was really a beautiful moment as far as I could see.
And with the little videos that I was able to watch.
And here's one of the pictures of the babies holding the flags and smiling and just really happy to be in this country.
And of course, you had former Hamas prisoner Eden Alexander who held up a sign thanking President Trump upon his release from the bloodthirsty killers.
And it says, thank you, President Trump.
And he is back home with his family.
It was beautiful.
It was a beautiful moment to watch.
You were able to see him hug his parents for the first time.
All right, there's probably not going to be a dry eye in our chat because this was amazing.
Here he is with his mom.
I'm going to just put this on the other screen so that you can see it a little bit better.
Let me move this over and turn some things because I know you want to see this.
All right, so here he is.
President Trump did that.
Absolutely, he did that.
If ever there was a video that deserved slow motion, this was the one.
Welcome home to Eden Alexander.
And these were captured by the Jersey girl on X.
So sweet.
Sorry about the scream, but I wanted you to see it.
I probably should have warned you.
Yeah, just amazing.
And President Trump posted about it on Untruth Social about Eden's release earlier.
He said, Eden Alexander, the last living American hostage, is being released.
Congratulations to his wonderful parents, family, and friends.
Wouldn't have happened without President Trump.
But of course, you have them trying to claim everything, right?
I mean, the left never misses a moment to say, oh, I'm so glad.
Kamala Harris even weighed in.
Oh, it's so good to see.
We were working extremely hard to have him back home with his family.
Just sitting there going, what?
I mean, no one is falling for that, are they?
There is one person that is responsible for getting him back with his family, and that is President Trump.
Nothing happened under Biden and Harris.
Nothing good anyway.
Or the auto pen, I should say.
President Trump's approval hits 50% in 2025.
Hispanics lead with 62% as the left loses ground among independent voters.
This is the real scoop.
This is the skinny and the tea they don't want you to see.
Oh, I'm rhyming.
It must be Saturday.
Okay, so in May 2025, President Trump had an approval among likely voters and he reached 50%.
Now, this is according to a Ras Mussen poll that conduct that was conducted between April 27th and May 1st.
The figures shared in a series of posts on X reflect strong support in a political climate where Trump now, in his second term, has solidified his influence following a 2024 electoral victory that granted him a strong mandate with Republican control of both chambers.
So here it is.
President Trump daily job approval, full week, likely voters.
And by the way, at Russmussen underscore poll is a fabulous account for you to follow.
If you are not following them, make sure that you do.
They really put out great poll numbers, something that you can actually trust.
And they have a fabulous account over there.
So you have in, this is the job approval full week, likely voters, all 50%.
Men, 55%.
Women, 45%.
You know, we have that little group of liberal women that we just can't seem to get rid of.
They're like glue.
They're like, gum on your shoe.
Then you have 18 to 39, 50%.
40 to 64, 52%.
65 and above, 46%.
Whites, 49%.
Blacks, 39%.
Hispanics, 62%.
Other, 51%.
Dim, 24%.
Independents, 46%.
GOP, 79%.
So you've got all of these different polls.
He's just doing amazing.
I mean, how you've got all kinds of people that on the left, and especially independents, who are going, this is the guy.
I have never seen such a shift.
I mean, the Hispanic support, it's not an isolated phenomenon.
In 2025, you had Trump's approval among Latinos at 72% following his inauguration.
It was a record high, reflecting an impact of his economic message and focused on issues like jobs and securities.
These gains, especially, I mean, when you start looking at it among Hispanics and African Americans, 39% in this poll highlight a shift in traditional political coalition, something that Trump has capitalized on since his first presidency.
His ability to appeal to groups that historically back Democrats has been a key has been a key factor in this political comeback.
And truly, I mean, we could have this kind of momentum going forward if we had our representatives getting on board with President Trump.
They almost look like they are doing this on purpose.
Almost, I should say, they are doing this on purpose at this point.
They are ridiculous.
They have got to get it together.
If not for their sake, they just should not run again and let somebody else do it.
But for our sake, we showed up.
We gave President Trump a mandate.
And the fact that they are sitting up there doing nothing, taking vacations, not going forward with President Trump's agenda, our agenda, is enough just to throw the midterms, which I'm afraid is what they are actually trying to do.
But President Trump is going full steam ahead, regardless of them.
He truly is.
He is going to make America great again.
So there you have it.
Trump's winning week.
We're going to move right on in to the Daily Dish where we dish about some of the things that are happening on X. we go okay
interesting things that you find out on x but there is one that always never ceases to surprise and amaze and that is Hillary Clinton Oh my gosh.
Well, she turns off her replies so that you can't say anything back to her because she knows that you know, right?
She would like nothing more than to turn off your spout and to stop you from talking.
In fact, that was the goal, right?
The Ministry of Truth was her idea.
When they asked her after she lost the election what she wanted to do, she said she wanted to head up Facebook.
What does that tell you?
She wanted to control the conversation, right?
She always has.
So she really tried to go there.
This is Hillary Clinton who accused President Trump of engaging in quid pro quo.
Yes, let me say that again.
Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of engaging in quid pro quo transaction over Qatar's gift of luxury jet.
Instantly regrets it because we all know, of course.
So she puts out this post.
She says, no one gives someone a $400 million jet for free without expecting anything in return.
Be serious.
Okay.
So this is after President Trump's decision to accept a Boeing 747 as a gift from the royal family of Qatar.
The jet is actually a gift to the Department of Defense.
And of course, President Trump called Qatar's offer a great gesture.
And this was his quote.
I think it's a great gesture from Qatar.
I appreciate it very much.
I would never be able to turn, I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.
I mean, I could be a stupid person and say, no, we don't want a free, very expensive airplane.
But it was, I thought it was, a great gesture.
Well, Hillary Clinton totally lashed out.
And of course, we all know why.
You should have seen everybody, you know, posting above her.
She turned off her replies.
Look, accounts that Hillary Clinton follows or mention can reply to this.
Well, it got 16.1 views because everybody went, whoa.
So she turned off these replies.
She knew exactly what you all were going to say and have said.
There have been many an article written since then.
Hillary is a disgrace.
Killery killery.
So there's also more.
Negotiations for the plane, apparently, they began under Dementia Joe.
It's a gift to the DOD, like the Statue of Liberty and the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
And so Senator Mullen says, you know, why is this even an issue?
I don't understand why people are making this such a big deal.
And this was his reasoning behind what he said.
let me move this one over again.
I'm learning my, my new tools over here since I've started expanding how we do this show.
It's like I have another screen I can use now and I'm using one for one thing, one for another.
I know, technician problems.
I never thought I would have them.
Never thought I would do them.
But here we are, another day in paradise.
Okay.
So here he is.
Mullen is talking about the plane.
The plane.
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
He's also on the Armed Services and the Appropriations Committees.
President's Gifted Jet 00:15:38
Thanks for joining us, Senator.
So a Justice Department official tells CNN that internal legal advisors cleared a memo signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi endorsing the legality of President Donald Trump accepting the luxury jet from Cutter.
And as you know, after his term would be over, he would take that jet with him to his presidential library.
It has been pointed out, not just by liberals, by conservatives too, that Bondi was previously a lobbyist on behalf of Cutter's government.
Do you have any concerns about her being the person to give the clearance?
A couple of things on this.
First of all, there's no guarantee that it's going to go to the presidential library.
What was said was when the plane is retired, it could possibly end up in the President Trump's presidential library.
That's what was said.
Now, a question, and I don't have any problem with Pam making an opinion on this.
The real question is, Jake, why is this an issue?
Could you explain to me why this is a big issue?
Because I can't figure it out.
The last time I checked, we were okay when France gave us the Statue of Liberty.
And by the way, it worked out pretty good for them because if it wasn't for America, I think Europe would look much different coming out of World War I and maybe World War II.
So could you help me understand why this is becoming an issue?
Well, in point of fact, when it comes to the Statue of Liberty, I think Congress authorized that.
But it's not really, I'm not the one bringing it up as an issue as much as some of your Republican colleagues, Senator Ted Cruz.
Well, just listen to some.
It wasn't brought up as an issue.
They asked him if this is concerning.
Okay.
And he said the plane poses, quote, significant espionage and surveillance problems.
That's not true.
If you took it and you assume that the president's going to jump in it as it sets and ride along and have security briefings, there's no chance in the world that's going to happen.
Anybody that knows anything about the intelligence world knows that, one, we're going to strip it completely down because the only thing we need is the frame.
The interior and the electronics on a standard 747 will never work for the presidential Air Force One.
It doesn't work.
We have some air defense technology that doesn't come from Boeing.
We have a lot of technology that's on there for the president to be connected so it can be the White House in the air.
No chance that anything inside that plane stays inside that plane.
So for anyone that has concerns, they don't even begin to understand our intelligence agencies.
So some of the concerns I've heard raised, and again by conservatives as well as progressives and liberals, are the fact that Qatar is the home country of the political leadership of Hamas.
Qatar funds and has funded terrorism in the past.
Qatar is the supplier of propaganda via Al Jazeera.
And people do not think that Cutter, now, I'm telling you what people are saying.
This is not my opinion.
And people do not think that Cutter is a good faith actor on the world stage.
It's funny when you address that as people and you're not giving names on this.
Now, you and I have a great relationship.
You said Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro, he's a conservative.
That's his one.
Ben Shapiro is also a talk show host, which we can go down that road.
We can do whatever we want to on that one.
People's a right to their opinion.
But the facts remain, why wouldn't the country of the United States take a 747?
But what here's what's interesting to me, what the media isn't telling you, what no one's talking to you about is this same 747 has been in negotiations for a year.
The Biden administration is the one that started these conversations.
It didn't start any of the Trump administration.
Why?
Because we need a backup for Air Force One.
Because right now, the President of the United States is flying around on a 40-year-old plane, and there is no backup for it.
The backup we had, the airframe started having structural issues.
No one's discussing that part.
They're just discussing that the deal ended with President Trump.
Maybe the media doesn't know.
Maybe I'll give them a pass.
Maybe you didn't know.
I'll give you the pass.
I'll give you a pass on that one.
But the fact is, this conversation started with Cutter, with Biden a year ago.
So what I know is that President Trump has been very frustrated with the long time it's taken Boeing to get the new Air Force One ready for him.
This is true.
He ordered that in the first administration, and still here we are.
And, you know, welcome to government bureaucracy and defense contractors, et cetera.
But I think that there are people that do have legitimate questions, such as Ted Cruz, Ben Shapiro, Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
It's always good to have you on the show.
Next time in person, tell John Thune not acceptable calling votes this late.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Combative moments on Capitol Hill today is unreal.
I mean, seriously.
I can't even believe that some of these people still go on these shows.
I mean, we know what.
Anywho, that's the thing.
We're going to head right on into our question of the day.
I cannot wait to hear your answers.
I'm going to start in a different way this time around.
Hopefully, I'm going to get some new names out there.
All right, here we go.
For those who do not know what the question was, we're going to play it for you again right here.
And it is: Do you think President Trump should accept a new Air Force One from Qatar?
Here we are.
It's time for today's question of the day.
Do you think President Trump should accept a new Air Force One from Qatar?
Yes or no?
We want to hear from you.
Share your thoughts, and you could be featured live this Saturday, May 17th, during a political rendezvous at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time.
Pick your viewing platform at julesjoneslive.com, where you are the star.
That's right.
And you are, and you're about to be.
So get ready.
Here we go.
We've got you here on the screen.
And let's see what some of your comments are.
Looks like we've got 47 so far.
Okay, I'm going to start at the top this time because last time I started at the bottom.
See, I'm trying to be sneaky.
Proudly deplorable at Rob Plegram Sr. says, yes, it's a gift to the Department of Defense, not Trump.
It will take a significant investment to install the equipment required to make this jet Air Force One, so it's not free.
The replacement Boeing AF-1 planes are way behind schedule.
This jet can be used by future presidents like JD Vance in 2028 until the replacement Boeing jets are finally available.
We have at Biscuit Jam, well, Biscuit Jam at Biscuit Jam Jam, who says yes, 100%, all the way.
We have Charlotte Owens at Charlotte OWZ, who says, absolutely, this is a gift, and to turn it down would be an insult.
Keep the relationship strong.
We have Richard at RKIN John 1968 who says, sure, as long as it's gone through with a fine-tooth comb, are they replacing all the aircraft in the AF-1?
There is not just one plane.
You have real Billy Hood at Hood CPA who says, yes, it's a gift to the USA.
Susie G628, who is on X at G Susie 63, she says, yes, they're giving it to the POTUS, not Trump personally.
Other people will enjoy a plane that isn't ancient and ready to fall out of the sky.
Look at all the plane problems in the past few years, commercial.
Cynthia Fabian, and that's Cynthia Fabian 7.
She says, Yes, it's for our country.
And if needed, it can be used for good.
Absolutely.
We have Allison Mahoney, who is at Mahoney 3.
Allison, I hope you all are following some of these people.
I did post this week.
There are a lot of new subscribers on my page, and I try to get everybody to introduce you to one another, whether you're a subscriber or whether you're not.
Hopefully, you are all following each other on all of these different platforms.
It's really interesting how the show has evolved since we're on so many platforms now.
There's like all kinds of new people that are joining, and it's so neat to see.
I love the camaraderie, and I love that we're in more than just a couple of places now.
This is really good because we're having a conversation that's not just an isolated one.
And I appreciate welcome to all the new people.
Thank you so much for being here.
Love having you here on Saturday.
And if you didn't know, we do a show Monday through Friday in the litter box with Cat Turd and have an absolute blast.
And so, hopefully, you will join us there too.
It's on the same channel, just so you all know.
And then we have got Lady Gwendolyn, who is at Vintage Farm Lady.
She says, Of course, it's a generous gift.
And let's face it, Air Force One needs replacing.
At the very least, take it on loan until Boeing gets its act together and completes the order for a new Air Force One.
She even has a jet here.
Hello, came fully equipped.
One of President Trump and Melania.
Amazing, this ride that we have had with our president.
Then we have Frosted Sleet says at Kell38707, yes.
And then we have Space underscore me underscore now, who says unforced error.
Then we have Zeta underscore Alicia, who says yes.
Joe at Joe Petty 918, yes.
Chicken Tender says yes.
It was a gift to the U.S. that he accepted it on behalf of the U.S.
It was a personal gift.
He has a way better personal plane.
Now do do now do Bill Clinton, who accepted a helicopter.
He still uses to this day.
Freaking double standard.
Over it.
I know the Clintons seem to have gotten away with everything, don't they?
And I apologize too.
I'm losing my voice.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if it's the allergies or what, but it has been a tough week for me.
I'm just trying to get through the sixth show of this week.
So bear with me.
Thank you for understanding.
We have Joe Tank, and this is at MAGA Tanks.
Yes, he should, since that will help bring peace through strength between the two countries.
And this is a new subscriber, Joe Tank.
And just so everybody knows, I'm not doing the shout-outs on the weekends anymore because the weekends with the show and everything else are so packed that normally when I have a new subscriber that I'm going to introduce, I'm going to do that Monday through Friday so that you get maximum exposure.
The weekends kind of die down a little bit too.
I kind of noticed that, and I wanted to make sure that you have as much as everybody else.
So that's why I stopped doing them on the weekends.
So, Redhead to Eagles, she says, yes.
And turning down the gift would have been a massive diplomatic insult to Qatar.
Molly McFrawley says, yes, it's a gift of appreciation, not just for the millions of dollars and hours of training invested by the U.S. to assist the Saudi kingdom, but also for the respect of a genuine leader that loves his country, such as Trump.
Cyborg 001, yes, it's going to be Air Force anyhow.
There shouldn't be any problem.
It'll be run through a vetting process while they are updating equipment and searching for any bugs, bombs that might be a problem.
Absolutely.
The current plane is over 40 years old, says Hippie D87544.
Diva B says at diva B underscore whine me, absolutely.
He can always sell it on eBay later.
Ron Vlasco says, yes, we need all the help we can get, and that is at Ron Blasco.
All right, now, I have figured out that I'm not able to get all of the replies when we repost question of the day on truth.
I don't know what happens to them, but they just disappear.
But if I go back to the original posting, I can.
So hello, truth.
Hello, truthers.
You are here, and I'm going to read your comments now.
And here they go.
This is at FumusJack at F-U-I-M-U-S-J-A-C-K.
I think if he does accept them, then that plane needs to be swept for suspicious devices several times before he steps on board.
Trust no one.
Exactly.
It's like that cup of coffee or tea that President Trump was presented.
No matter how nice they are, you can never be too cautious.
Exactly.
We have Atril Sinzena, who says, absolutely, it is a gift to our country.
It would be rude not to accept it.
The U.S. has given many planes designated for war to many countries.
The plane being offered is not an instrument of war.
It is intended to be used by our head of state.
It is a symbolic gesture.
America is not lacking airplanes, and Qatar is not lacking in resources.
So, she says, to those who wish to continue attacking President Trump from the Marxist playbook by accusing him of their own crimes or the ones that they have turned a blind eye to, your accusations are merely your confessions.
Unlike others who have selfishly enriched themselves, their friends and family, through self-dealing, inflated prices for contracts, faith jobs, for no work and lots of real money, donations to their private foundations, mismanagement and waste of taxpayer dollars, this president can't be bought.
We the people don't want to feed the war machine, not with our money, not with our equipment, not with our time, and not with the lives of our people.
No sane person wishes to go to war, be it war or witness the horrors of war.
No sane person wants control of all of God's world.
America is a strong country.
It is easy to see how we could improve.
It is also terrifyingly easy to envision a horrible future for our country and the entire world.
There is no urgency to fight more wars.
I was once told that the American eagle did not fly by flapping its right or its left wing alone.
No bird can fly forever without rest either.
Our representatives have been so busy flapping their gums that they seem to have forgotten that.
While they only have one mouth, they are given two ears.
Americans have voiced their opinion.
I don't care about the Republican agenda.
I don't care about the Democrat agenda.
I care about our country and the world we are living in and leaving behind for our children.
We cannot erase, write over, change, or correct the mistakes of the past.
We can learn from our mistakes.
We can learn from the mistakes of others.
We also have the opportunity to focus on success.
The election is over.
It's on we the people to choose unity.
Learning From Mistakes 00:07:10
There are certain, there are simple actions that we can all take to improve our immediate environment.
As noble as it is to want to save the world, we cannot give away what we don't have.
There is nothing noble about asking children to pay for the mistakes of adults.
There is nothing noble about expecting the children of tomorrow to pay our tab.
Bigger is not always better.
Sometimes less is more.
We could certainly stand less war and more peace.
Less work and more time to enjoy our lives.
Less stress, worry, panic, and fear.
Less waste and more value.
Less selfishness and more selflessness.
The presidential plane of peace is a beautiful gesture.
Can we simply say thank you and move on?
God bless America, and I'm grateful to be an American and alive at such a monumentous time and with so many people who have dedicated so much of their time to making America great.
What a wonderful thing to write.
Okay, Crystal Scott, beautifully, beautifully done.
I think I'm going to end on that one.
I mean, there it all is.
I think it's all what we're all feeling right now.
So good job.
Absolutely beautifully said.
And it's so true.
I mean, really, they squabble about the most ridiculous, ridiculous things.
But that's the left.
That's the MSM.
And that's what they do, unfortunately.
And they do it over and over again.
All right, everybody.
Well, I just want to thank you all for being here.
We have had such a good time today.
As always, like I said, thank you so much for putting up with me.
I am losing my voice.
It's been quite the week.
I've been really going hard this week.
We've got so many things lined up for you next month.
And so there were a lot of things that were happening behind the scenes.
If I haven't been as active on X or other platforms again, I'm so sorry.
It's just the way sometimes it goes because I can't do both.
And so Cat Turd keeps you busy on X, I'm sure.
And so I'm sure you probably didn't even notice.
But anyway, just so you know, I wasn't checking out.
I'm just trying to do a lot more for you on this show.
And it looks like we've got some really great things planned out.
A huge round of applause for the incredible team who works tirelessly behind the scenes.
Endless gratitude to the brilliant Patriot Penzi for crafting insightful articles and conducting meticulous research.
And to the storytelling virtuoso, Rob Plegram Sr. for delivering engaging monologues and curating the week's top news stories with unmatched precision.
A special thanks to at Fleet Admiral James, who you all know.
His contributions enrich every aspect of what we do and place some special prayers.
He did have surgery yesterday because of his dialysis being hooked up in his arm and so he had to go under and experience all of that.
But he is doing really well.
You're not going to keep a good man down, that's for sure.
He is one incredible fighter, has been on and with the show since the very, very beginning.
So I need you all to please say a prayer for him for a speedy recovery.
MegaVolt007, for the invaluable ideas and the countless efforts that helped drive us forward.
Thank you for all that you do.
And finally, a standing ovation to all of our amazing mods who foster a safe, welcoming space where we can all connect, share, and spill the tea.
We're grateful for everything you do.
Just so everyone knows, this live stream is showcased and the music is from Bobby Troop.
It's featured on the track, it's our main one that we listen to on this show, and that's the one we danced to at the very end where I played the whole thing.
It's Lemon Twist, and it's alongside additional selections by Julie London.
These timeless melodies have been generously shared by Nick Twit and Link London.
Our heartfelt thanks for all of their contributions.
For the complete playlist, I have put them in the video description box below, so you can click on those and you can hear the entire thing, not just clips for the upcoming segments.
Hopefully, you will enjoy those.
And I want to do a special shout out to Martha Johnson.
Martha Johnson went over to my site and donated to my show, and I just wanted to say thank you.
It took me a while.
It's going to take me a while to compile all of the donations to the website, but she guided me, and I was able to find hers.
I wanted to say thank you.
It's a whole new deal.
So, if you're contributing to In the Litter Box, give me a couple of days so I can thank you, and I will.
But it's just one more thing, learning curve that I'm having to figure out.
And they're all split up into all of these different areas now.
So, I've got my work cut out for me to say the least.
Well, this week's tea, it has been spilled and served.
Thank you all so much for watching and for following.
Your support means the absolute world to me.
I would not be here without you.
If you haven't already, please hit that follow button.
It's free and it truly makes a difference.
Every single time you even comment on the show, it creates activity in the algorithm and it helps out quite a bit.
Quite a bit.
So, we really appreciate all of that.
In the meantime, you all be safe.
You be kind to one another.
And we will see you later.
Toodly-doo.
Slices of Persuasion 00:00:46
Even the skeptic replies that here's a suggestion you can't resist: A cool drink with ice is improved with some slices of lemon twist.
It isn't merely circumstantial evidence that the lemon is a highly healthful citrus fruit.
The most respected scientists agree with the physiologists that here's one fact you can't dispute.
Why don't you open your eyes?
Your psychosomatic ills won't persist If quick like a rabbit, you latch to the habit of lemon twist.
