HILARIOUS: Vice President JD Vance: “I remember when we decided to run for vice president, I said ‘Honey, I really want to have a fourth kid.’ And she said ‘Well, you can become vice president or you can have a fourth baby.’ But ladies and gentlemen, I am persuasive, because I got both!”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on the Pentagon’s $200 billion supplemental for the Iran war: “I will not vote for a war supplemental. I am so tired of spending money elsewhere.”

HEARTWARMING: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: “Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much, into a very tall, good looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it... please convey my sincere happy birthday wishes to him.” Amazing!

Pierre Poilievre: “And the tariffs aren’t a good idea either. We should get the tariffs out because there’s so much we could be doing together as neighbors and partners if we got rid of the tariffs.” “A tariff does not bring the production to America. It raises the price of the aluminum… I think it’s in America’s interest to come towards a tariff-free deal and trade freely as friends, and that will be good for both of us.” Joe Rogan: “Have you had conversations with Trump about this?” Pierre Poilievre: “No, I believe in the rule of one prime minister at a time… I didn’t win. We came very close. So I’ve said, listen, we’ll leave it to the prime minister to do the negotiating.”

Joe Rogan: “So there’s a narrative in America, and the narrative is that you were about to win and your party was about to win, but then Trump came along and said he was gonna turn Canada into a 51st state, and everybody went crazy. Is that accurate?” Pierre Poilievre: “I would say everybody went crazy.” Joe Rogan: “Well, they got very upset.” Pierre Poilievre: “They should be upset though.” Joe Rogan: “Well, it’s a crazy thing to say.” Pierre Poilievre: “It is a crazy thing to say. Canada’s not for sale. We’re never going to be the 51st state. We love Americans as neighbors and friends, but we want to be uniquely — and we want to be sovereign — as Canadians. It’s our country. It’s where we grow up.” “You’re a patriot as an American. I’m a patriot as a Canadian. It’s where my grandfather arrived. It’s where our collective ancestors put on military uniforms and sailed to fight wars. It’s where our grandkids are going to live. We’re very proudly Canadian so we’re never going to be the 51st state. And I just wish he’d knock that sh*t off so that we can get back to talking about the things that we do as two separate countries that are actually friends.”

HAPPENING TODAY: The U.S. Senate presses on with its marathon debate over the SAVE America Act — now in its third straight day — with floor discussions expected to continue through the weekend and possibly beyond. Chad Pergram: “Democrats also believe that Republicans are wasting time on a issue which is not a problem. They say voter fraud is rare.”

BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the Southern District of Florida as part of the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" investigation into ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, according to an Axios. Axios: “The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on the SAVE America Act: “I don’t think we’re going to get any Democratic votes, so how can you pass the bill?… You do reconciliation. Now some of my Republican colleagues say we can’t get it past the Budget Control Act… How the h*ll do they know? We haven’t even tried yet.” “There are a lot of smart lawyers in this country that can draft a bill that I think can pass what we call the Budget Control Act and get it passed by the parliament.” “It’s a matter of common sense to me.” “Where’s plan B? Plan A may not work.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on getting the SAVE America Act passed: “There’s a shorter way. I don’t know why we haven’t tried it. We ought to be doing it through reconciliation, which only requires 50 votes plus the Vice President… The majority leader doesn’t agree with me.” Martha MacCallum: “Why not?” John Kennedy: “I have NO idea!”

EXPOSED: Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) just dropped a bombshell to the New York Post: She's uncovered over $77 billion in Pentagon research and development (R&D) spending that was deliberately HIDDEN from taxpayers—unlawfully kept off public books. NYP: “The sum included funds for radio equipment, shipbuilding, COVID-19 vaccine development, test kits and therapeutics paid to companies like AstraZeneca and Microsoft between fiscal years 2021 and 2025.”

HILARIOUS: President Trump to Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi after being asked why he didn’t coordinate with allies prior to attacking Iran: “We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anyone about. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, ok?” “You believe in surprise I think much more than us.”

HILARIOUS: President Trump is RELIEVED when Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi doesn’t need a translator: “You understand? Very good! It's so nice that we don't have to sit through that.” x.com/nicksortor/sta… “I haven’t picked up your language. So the next time you come, I'll have your language mastered.”

Reporter: Do you intend to put more U.S. troops in the Middle East? President Trump: “No, I’m not putting troops anywhere. If I were I certainly wouldn’t tell you but I’m not putting troops.”

WOW: The U.S. House has passed the BOWOW Act, 228–190. This bill makes it a deportable offense for non-citizens to assault, wound, or harm animals used in federal law enforcement, including dogs and horses. x.com/nicksortor/sta… 190 Democrats voted against this common-sense legislation.

DERANGED: A very dangerous man on a Chicago train: I'ma kiII whites. I got out 2 days ago. I finna kiIl for real.” Elon Musk reacted: “I believe him[!]”

TRUTH NUKE: Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) on the SAVE America Act: “Voters gave us control of the House, they gave us control of the Senate, they gave us the presidency.” “This is a bill that both the president and the vast majority of the American people, Republican and Democrat, want. So the idea that we just simply can't get this passed whenever we have that much control, I think is ludicrous.” “I think the Senate can do it. I think we do have the votes most likely to do this via a talking filibuster. We just got to get the senators to actually do the work.” I love this guy!

War Secretary Pete Hegseth on the Pentagon requesting $200 billion for the war in Iran: “I think the number could move obviously. It takes money to kill bad guys. So we're going back to Congress to ensure that we're properly funded for what's been done, for what we may have to do in the future, and ensure that our ammunition is refilled.”

JUST IN: The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a massive supplemental funding request of more than $200 BILLION from Congress to sustain the ongoing war in Iran, according to Washington Post report Washington Post: “The request comes as the war—now in its third week—has already cost billions in munitions and operations. Earlier estimates from Pentagon briefings indicated that the first week alone exceeded $11 billion, with $5.6 billion spent on munitions in just the first two days of strikes.”

Reporter: So this strike yesterday by Israel without the U.S.’s knowledge on Iran’s South Pars gas field. It kind of seems like a trend of Israel pursuing its own objectives over U.S. objectives. Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they’re going to pursue their own objectives? President Trump: “We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well.”

War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Iran’s internet blackout: “As far as the internet, we’re waiting for the regime to try to tighten its grip as much as possible. We’re obviously taking countermeasures… to ensure messaging is delivered not just to the Iranian people… but to the right audiences. Certain audiences that need to hear certain things about what their fate might look like or what there choices are.” “They want to put out fake AI-generated images… These AI-generated images are meant to make it look like something's happening when the exact opposite is. So they make up fake reports and fake images to lie to their own people.”
