• President Trump had a press conference and then spoke to the Republicans at their retreat.
• Fox News did something very strange yesterday.
• He spoke for about 15 to 20 seconds and in the middle of the sentence they left JD Vance live and moved back to the press room.
• Interestingly enough Trump mentioned in a question JD Vance was NOT on board with the strikes in Iran. He said at minimum philosophically he didn’t agree and wasn’t enthusiastic.
• Was Iran really within days of having a nuke?
• Was Iran really aiming all their missiles for an imminent threat in the Middle East with American Allies?
• President Trump pretty much said yesterday this is about over. What happened to the Iranian people wanting to take back their country?
• The ones in the streets? Where are all those people?

• What happened on that phone call?
• Putin called Trump to discuss the UK and European Union.
• I want everyone to think about this.
• I can’t predict the future but lets try to stitch together why Putin made this call.
• What do the Russians know that the Chinese don’t?
• What do the Russians know that the Israeli’s don’t?
• I don’t think the Russians and Israeli’s are BFF’s.
• Wo what did Putin ACTUALLY tell Trump?
• Why was Trump’s conference so bravado yesterday?

• The state of our media is repulsive.
• They used this poor woman for clicks, likes and views for weeks then nothing because the next best story came along.

• I learned some information this morning that the oil ships have been moving through the Strait of Hormuz. They have just been turning off their mandatory tracking. You see them on one side, they disappear and then reappear on the other side.
• All these ships have transponders on them. Makes since you don’t want to lose a super oil tanker.
• So why would you turn the transponders off?
• So the Iranians can’t find it to sink it right?

SEGMENT 2

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again – Death, Fire and Fury will reign upon them – But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait.

• Let’s put all this together.
• Call to Putin.
• Trump puts out this message on Truth Social about China and hitting harder.
• Did Putin make a call on China’s behalf?
• Have you watched the market on oil?
• If there is any indication that the Russians will backstop the supply, that part could be mitigated here.
• Nothing will change though if you are UAE, there is no way you were in on this. You cannot convince me they took their oil riches and invested the greatest tourism infrastructure there and were in on this attack on Iran.
• What Western tourist will go there now for a vacation? 35 miles across that body of water is the evil empire we call Iran?
• You know they kidnap and ransom Americans?!
• The tourism industry is dead there. You have to restore confidence in Western tourism. That will take forever.

• So the people in the streets we saw protesting, they were NOT protesting that they wanted Democracy, they were taking to the streets because their money was inflated?
• Those videos on X from all these ‘influencers’ they were promoting these videos as if they wanted to sing the YMCA song for Democracy!
• They were all a LIE!!!

• Remember John Smoltz came out hard against these year round youth travel baseball teams?

• Pentagon LIVE Updates from Iran Strikes
• We are on day 10 of Operation Epic Fury.
• There have been a total of 7 American soldiers killed in this strike.

• The Iranians literally have thousands of K2’s.
• They have built almost all of their defense infrastructure underground.
• That is why we keep getting updates on these massive bunker busting bombs we are having to drop.
• The new Iranian leader, same as old leader, says he has ZERO interest in negotiating with the United States.
• Now we told you all this in the early days.

HEADLINE: Tehran vows to use powerful missiles, rejects Trump talks by Tim Hume and Federica Marsi

• Why are the Israeli’s bombing Lebanon?
• There are reports surfacing on X of secular Iranians saying we do want democracy Reza P as the leader.
• You must understand this, the concept of English democracy only exists in the WEST! It does not exist in Persia! It NEVER will!

• It seems the narrative continues to change.
• It was originally 14 hours before they had a nuke that is why Operation Midnight Hammer had to happen.
• Now it is they were planning on taking over the Middle East.
• Which one was it?
• Why would you aim those missiles to the Saudi’s that has capabilities comparable to the United States?
• You do know the Saudi’s have been buying for years our military jets.
• So the Iranian’s hate UAE and the Saudi’s now?
• Show me the video. I am not believing this ‘intel’ anymore. I want to see the intel.

HEADLINE: Four Questions About The Iran War That Deserve Clear, Consistent Answers by John Daniel Davidson

• We’re more than a week into the Iran war and yet we have no clear or consistent objectives, no theory of victory.
• Questions like, what is our goal in Iran? Why did we launch this war now? What is our theory of victory, and how will we know when we have achieved it? These four questions in particular deserve answers. So far, we haven’t got them.

• What exactly is the question on whether to endorse Paxton or Cornyn?
• Cornyn is a geriatric fossil!
• Who is whispering this into Trumps ear to back Cornyn?

• The $40 billion competitive youth sports industry is now bigger than the National Football League and all of college athletics combined, House Education and Workforce committee members learned during a December 2025 hearing. Witnesses outlined the costs of travel sports clubs, the shift away from recreational-level participation, and unintended consequences such as financial debt, burnout, and injuries from overtraining.

• Do you all remember the movie Sandlot?
• Probably the best baseball movie of all times.
• An April 2025 white paper from Red Chalk Group, a consulting company that serves Fortune 500 companies and private equity firms, provides an example: The 3STEP Sports company, backed by Juggernaut Capital Partners, completed 75 acquisitions since 2016 that affected eight different sports, 2,500 programs, and 1.5 million participants.
• Money ruins everything fun!
• Youth sports was 2025’s breakout M&A [mergers and acquisitions] theme” as American families prioritize team fees, private coaching, and tournament travel over “many other expenses.”
• Remember when I told you about the NCAA and the NIL and how it would ruin sports?
• You are basically pimping your children out for corporate dollars.
• I am a proud spokesman and I am a client and customer for the live advertisements I do on my show.
• Like MyPillow for instance. I use their products, I love their products so of course I endorse them.
• It is not just money, it is ostensibly ‘free’ money.
• Junior has to go to free-throw practice and I get the benefits.
• No you are rotten to the core!
• The people doing this, it is the worst kind of taking advantage of someone.
• Now, as the technical director of a nonprofit organization that oversees 250 soccer clubs and dozens of leagues throughout a portion of Upstate New York, Foti is witnessing the end of the three-sport athlete as children as young as 7 begin specializing in a single sport. It’s getting to the point where parents fear their child won’t get onto a travel team if they don’t join as soon as possible, skipping community-level programs that families have traditionally supported across multiple sports.

• They used to be something fun for kids to do.
• They participated in them, had fun, very low stress. It just taught kids to love the sport they were playing.
• “One of the most troubling patterns I see is when a child’s entire identity becomes tied to their sport. When injuries occur, and they often do, these children may feel as though they have lost who they are. Part of what is driving this is cultural. Elite athletes are celebrated, and social media makes extreme training appear normal. There is also a widespread belief that early specialization is the key to success.”
• You know who turned out to be one of the really great guys in sports?
• Tim Tebow, he is the one example of a guy that puts God first and career second.
• He didn’t care how much money he was making. I’m sure he is making millions but he didn’t live his life seeking the dollar.

• In the last 15 years youth sports turned into a full-time commitment.
• Youth sports no longer means a few games. It means travel, coaches, practices etc.
• It is very rare a kid shows severe ability. And typically they get outside help if they have that natural talent.
• You also weren’t drowning in fees!
• This is actually affecting our nations birthrate too and that is something we should all be looking into.
• There are parents not having more children because of the cost of these travel sports.
• That is alarming!
• You have to think about what isn’t going to be taken away from AI and robots. Parents think this is better to have their kids do this then social media and such.
• I am all for playing sports, I am not for having a family go into debt for the sports.
• Gymnastics, there is a clear view of if a child can excel at this sport or not. This ideal that you can force them into it, you just can’t. There are a huge amount of women in gymnastics that are there because their parents just spent all the money on it.

• Charlie Kirk would fill Trump’s mind with the non-war side and since Kirk died, no one has filled that void. Apparently he has been listening to Levin and Trump does’t think Vance is on that same level. That is how we got in the war with Iran.
• Mark Levin is making policy decisions.
• Even more than that, he listens to Mark Levin and Charlie Kirk would set up interesting people to visit the White House and who filled that gap? Lindsey Graham.
• We are at war with Iran b/c Charlie Kirk is dead and war mongers filled the gap.
• That makes sense because this new Trump has NOT sounded like the old Trump at all. I even asked what did they do with my man Trump?
• Sean Hannity – he was talking about falling away from Trump but about 4-5 months they reconnected.
• I am good at a few things in this life.
• I can read body language and I just have a spider sense when someone speaks if they are trying to sell me something or if they are genuine.
• Yesterday Trump talking, he was NOT my guy. That was NOT the Trump I voted for.

• You know also, we are not stupid. JD was Stephen Millered, they moth balled him.
• Fox News cut our Vice President off mid sentence yesterday!

• I think there is turmoil in the White House and the cabinet.
• I think Trump was again given terrible information.
• I think Trump is listening to the wrong people yet again.
• If Vance couldn’t convince him, who can?
• I don’t think Vance has any power over Trump.
• I think he was put in because Charlie Kirk wanted to be his VP later.
• Stephen Miller and that ridiculous podcast with his wife is ruining everything. Their focus is gone and it is showing.

• Maggie started watching it last night. She thought it was hilarious how she just treats Donald like any other wife would treat their husband.

• JD Vance is like a half-term senator and has actually earned nothing.
• RFK Jr is doing exactly what he said he was going to do but he is still talking about running for President and it isn’t going over well with the Trump Cabinet.
• And RFK Jr is correct, he does have the backing and he does have the money and he could run on a Libertarian platform.

• He just started an indefinite war in the Middle East, largely at the behest of Israel, which is one thing he said he’d never do. (By the way, you and I can’t say it was largely at the behest of Israel. Only Trump can. But he denies it.) On top of that, it looks like Trump is probably going to endorse Texas Sen. John Cornyn for reelection over his Republican opponent, Ken Paxton, even though Cornyn has proven to be, at best, a typical lazy, mediocre RINO.
• I don’t know what moron is telling Trump to take Cornyn over Paxton.
• Paxton is the future.
• Cornyn has never been in the MAGA movement.
• Paxton is and has been making great moves in Texas.
• Again…it is Lindsey Graham. He is great friends with Cornyn.

• For elementary and high school students, using pencils, pens, and paper for note-taking, writing, and mathematics offers several well-supported advantages over electronic devices. These benefits are grounded in cognitive neuroscience, educational research, and practical classroom experience.
• When students write by hand, their brains show more elaborate connectivity and synchronized activity, which supports deeper learning and better retention. Typing produces far less of this neural engagement. Because children’s and adolescents’ brains are still developing, this difference matters.
• The slower pace of handwriting forces students to paraphrase, summarize, and prioritize key ideas rather than transcribing verbatim. This deeper cognitive processing leads to stronger comprehension. Research consistently shows that handwritten notes result in better performance on conceptual and synthesis tasks, even when fewer words are written.
• Kids today cannot write in cursive.
• Take all the iPads and throw them into the river and issue notepads, pencils, color pencils and pens.
• When I first did videos I had a situation like that. You can say um or like and just move on. Listen to yourself and do better but you get burned out quickly trying to make all your videos 100% perfect.
• Students who use paper never have to worry about connectivity issues, battery life, or software glitches. They can flip through pages quickly, annotate margins freely, and compare multiple pages at once — often more intuitively than on a screen.
• A balanced approach is called for. Prioritize paper for initial learning, concept development, and math practice, while using devices strategically for research, drafting longer essays, or polishing final work. For most routine tasks such as note-taking, writing, and mathematics, the evidence strongly favors paper, pens, and pencils.
• Do kids still get a school supplies list or are they just given an iPad?
