──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:34] Trump Denied Saying "Maybe We're Better Off Not Making a Deal" — CNN Played the Clip From One Day Earlier CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checked Trump live — he had said on camera the day before that "maybe we're better off not making a deal at all."

Knight: Mark Levin says Trump acts alone, but he says it himself. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:24:12] Mike Johnson Says the US Is Not at War — Just "Policing the Strait of Hormuz" Johnson called the Iran conflict a police action, not a war — Knight: Truman called the Korean War a police action too, and nobody has ever called it the Korean Police Action. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:35:42] Chef José Andrés: The Iran War Is Going to Cause a Multi-Year World Famine by 2026–2027 Andrés warns the world is sleepwalking into a multi-year famine from the silent collapse of the global fertilizer trade.

Knight: doing it for the kids; doing it to everybody. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:50:12] New Fluoride Study Claims No IQ Effect — But Excluded Everyone Exposed During Critical Developmental Years Children's Health Defense notes the study excluded people exposed during infancy and early childhood — exactly when neurological damage occurs.
