[00:02:52] France, Spain, and Italy All Blocking US Military Use of Their Territory for the Iran War Spain opposed the war on moral grounds, France blocked US military supply flights over its airspace, and Italy denied basing rights to US bombers — while Hegseth and Rubio publicly begged allies for help in a war the US chose and started.

[00:21:30] Trump's "Victory": Iran's Navy Was Seven Frigates and Some Speedboats Trump claimed military success by destroying Iran's navy, which consisted of seven frigates and fast speedboats.

[00:43:58] Laura Ingraham Admits on Fox: 80% of EU's LNG Passes Through Strait — Only 2% of US Oil Does Even Fox News conceded that the US launched a war whose worst energy consequences fall almost entirely on European allies, who now receive lectures from Trump to "go get your own oil" after he shut down the waterway they depend on.

[00:53:07] Trump Promised to Eliminate the $19 Trillion Debt in Eight Years — It Has Since Doubled Ten years ago Trump told the Washington Post he would eliminate the national debt fairly quickly.

[01:06:03] If Trump Bombs Iran's Infrastructure on Exit, Iran Will Destroy All Gulf Oil States Iran has explicitly warned that any strike on its electricity infrastructure will trigger attacks on refineries, power plants, and desalination facilities across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait — meaning Trump's "parting shot" threats would ignite the entire Gulf energy complex.

[01:21:29] Chicago Bulls Cut NBA Player Within an Hour of Him Publicly Opposing Pride Month Jaden Ivey was waived within an hour of posting Christian objections to Pride Month, labeled "detrimental to the team" — while NBA players convicted of assaults, DUIs, and gun charges routinely keep their positions.
