Myron Gaines and Ryads report dissect US-Iran negotiations, revealing Iran's offer to open the Strait of Hormuz was rejected by Trump over nuclear demands. They detail how Iranian F-5 jets damaged 16 US bases across eight nations, exposing vulnerabilities in radar and communications while depleting interceptor stocks. The analysis argues the conflict is an illegal war driven by regime change rhetoric rather than stopping proxy funding, noting Iran retains enriched uranium and scientists despite sanctions. Ultimately, the stalemate suggests the blockade strategy fails against Iran's escalation dominance, risking Gulf security without congressional authorization under the War Powers Resolution.

Live Stream Setup00:02:43
All right, we're live.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to the stream.
Welcome to the stream.
I got to turn that ISO up a little bit.
It's a little dark.
But let me go ahead and get, jump on and get my brother on real quick.
Give me one second, Ninjas.
Give me one second here.
He's on right now.
I'm getting him on.
That's if he joins up, that is.
Hmm.
Where's this ninja?
Or maybe he's not up on his end yet.
All right, then.
Let me.
All right.
So I'm on here.
Give me one sec, guys.
Bring the ISO up a little bit.
That should be a lot better.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, as you guys know, I had to switch my lens, guys.
I don't know where this guy's at.
He's not in here.
He's on nigga timing.
All right.
Give me one sec.
As you guys know, I had to switch my lens because basically what ended up happening was the other lens I had was acting crazy.
So it wasn't working.
Okay, now I think he's calling.
Hold on.
Gorgeous day in Connecticut.
I always got to talk about the weather because I just love a good day.
Does anybody not love a good day?
I mean, hey, you there?
Yo.
Yo, what's up?
Hold on.
Let me get on here.
Turn my camera on.
What's up, man?
Yo, not much, man.
Let me see here.
What's going on?
Okay.
There we go.
Bro is fresh out of Texas.
What's up, man?
Yeah, I literally got off the plane and just jumped right on, dude.
Literally just got into the house just now.
And I said, you know what?
Let me just jump on and see what's going on here.
But let me set this up real quick.
What's going on, man?
It's cold over there?
What's going on?
You got the beanie on with the jacket?
Well, you can know I always keep my place cold.
But no, Texas wasn't as warm as I thought it was.
And then Alex, just like me, keeps the studio very cold.
Yeah, I think it's necessary for the equipment.
Fresh From The Plane00:13:07
Yeah.
If I'm not mistaken, I think that's what the tech guys say.
Yeah, you got to keep it cold.
Like, you don't want to, especially when you're running certain cameras.
He's got a crazy operation going on.
Yeah.
It looks like a pretty nice studio, at least the InfoWars one.
I know they're done now, but he's got the Alex Jones show.
Even the backup one that they had is nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, no, man, production quality goes a long way, dude.
It really does.
Like, not a lot of creators take it seriously.
Like, a lot of creators have bullshit quality.
Yeah.
But, you know, it is what it is, right?
With a lot of these guys, they're lazy.
So, Not surprised.
You guys had a good interview.
It was very entertaining to watch.
You had a part one and a part two, really.
And then you also went with Harrison Smith.
So I really enjoyed that.
So if you guys didn't see that, go check it out.
It's on InfoWars.
And I think it's on your YouTube channel as well.
It's clipped up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I posted, I think, one of the interviews.
And I'll probably post the other one with Harrison and stuff like that, too.
It's always good talking with Harrison with the war and stuff like that.
Me and him see eye to eye on that pretty much the whole way.
So it's always good chatting with him and everything else like that.
But yeah, no, we could go ahead and cover the news, man.
You know, obviously, I haven't been able to be as.
You know, whenever I leave town, I'm never able to keep up on the news to the same degree that I like to.
So, you know, I guess you could go ahead and kind of take it away.
Yeah, well, it's very hard.
It's very hard to keep up when you're on the move and everything like that.
But really, not much has changed.
I'll give a quick briefing because I spoke about this on stream the other day, but I guess a lot of your audience has not been caught up in even mine as well.
Not a lot of people were watching the other day.
But kind of, More or less the same situation that's been going on since the beginning of April.
We've stalemated, right?
Iran and the United States have really not come to a conclusion as to what they want their stipulations to be to reach a greater peace deal.
Now, Iran, I believe just about three days ago, had proposed kind of something fresh.
And they said, look, we are willing to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
And pay attention here.
And I'll kind of explain this later.
We both will.
They said that we're willing to open up the Strait of Hormuz if we can postpone nuclear talks to a later date.
Yeah.
And so if that means extending that ceasefire, that's fine.
And really, in simple terms, this is them saying, hey, we're not talking about uranium.
And this has been kind of evident from the beginning.
They're not willing to talk about uranium.
That's off the table.
They understand that that's their greatest deterrent, which has not even been effective, but that's their greatest deterrent in protecting their sovereignty, their right to self determination.
And so that's kind of the thing.
Of course, this has reached Donald Trump in Washington, and he's vehemently rejected this.
He said, I am not going to do that.
The nuclear aspect has to be a part of it.
That's what Stephen Witkopf is saying.
That's what Jared Kushner is saying.
And that's why just a week ago or a week and a half ago, JD Vance was not even able to leave the tarmac and take off an Air Force to make it to Islamabad for that second and third round of peace talks because.
They realized nothing was really going to be conceded upon.
And now we've got an issue where, again, we're at a crossroads that's stalemated.
We are now blocking Iranian ports.
We're blocking the blockade, as Trump likes to say.
And in response, and Iran has been doing this and they're going to continue to do it, has been blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which is hurting us a lot more than it's actually hurting Iran.
Anybody who has some sort of political literacy will tell you that.
If anybody's not saying that, there's likely MAGA money in their pockets or they don't understand the conflict correctly.
So that's kind of the situation.
Now, CENTCOM apparently, and Trump said this on the lawn today, and we're Take a look at that video.
I assume at some point you have it, but pull it up.
Yeah, CENTCOM has said that, and I'm not sure what the timestamp is, but Trump answered questions outside of the White House earlier today for about 20 minutes.
And allegedly, CENTCOM offered strikes or a final set of strikes to Iran to eventually get them to concede and come to the table.
That may be true.
However, the Gerald R. Ford has left the region, it's departed.
And so it's not that it's necessary for that to be there in order for us to actually.
You know, get to our military goals.
But it seems like there's hesitation from the Trump administration to actually strike Iran.
And that's because they know the Gulf countries are going to be at the shit end of the stick in regards to retaliation.
But yeah, I have it here.
Let's take a look at it.
I can go ahead and share.
Let me know if you can see this.
And we can kind of start here on the news.
All right, perfect.
So let's see what he has.
More Iranian proposals, please.
So they want to make a deal, but I don't.
I'm not satisfied with it.
We'll see what happens.
Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially, and they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with it.
And very quickly, this has been the runaround from the beginning, right?
They want to make a deal, they're desperate.
And then the other end, they're saying that we're desperate and we want to make a deal.
So that's been his punchline.
Why are you not seeking congressional approval to extend it?
Because it's never been sought before.
There's been numerous, many, many times, and nobody's ever gotten it before.
They consider it totally unconstitutional.
But we're always in touch with Congress.
But nobody's ever sought it before.
Nobody's ever asked for it before.
It's never been used before.
Why should we be different?
We have great respect for Congress.
Pakistan and Islamabad and tremendous respect for the Prime Minister and the Field Marshal.
And they're working with us.
They continue to work with us.
But the trip is a very long one and we're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now in terms of the negotiation telephonically.
They've made strides, but I'm not sure if they ever get there.
There's tremendous discord.
There's tremendous They're having a tremendous problem getting along with each other in Iran.
The leadership is very disjointed.
It's got two to three groups, maybe four, and it's a very disjointed leadership.
And with that being said, they all want to make a deal, but they're all messed up.
That's just largely, I mean, to some degree, look, we killed so much leadership militarily, but largely it's untrue, right?
Because they've got a team that they've delegated.
That team has been strung together ever since the ceasefire.
It's been a month now almost that we've had a ceasefire.
And so they've been able to kind of dot all their I's, cross their T's, and bring the marbles back together.
They're.
More stabilized than ever because of the fact that we've stopped the strike.
So, the fact that they're disjoints and everything, it's just not telling the truth about everything, man.
It's actually kind of annoying.
Like, what it comes down to is, look, the United States has absolutely wanted to negotiate because we're getting a lot of pressure from our international partners in Europe as well as in the Gulf states and them getting bombed.
So, obviously, you know, Trump's not going to admit that fact that we've, but we've been absolutely, you know, we were trying to strike a deal when the war first started via Italy and they said no.
In the first couple of days of the war, we're trying to strike something via Italy, and they said, no, we're not going to do it because Iran looks at it like, okay, if we end the war, and you got to look at it from their perspective.
If they end the war now without sanction relief, without assurances, then they have nothing to show for all the damage they took.
They need to have something to show for all the damage that they took.
And one of those things is sanction relief and assurances that they're not going to get attacked again.
Otherwise, what are they going to do?
So this is why they're not really in a rush to negotiate to the same degree as the United States.
Now, what Trump is trying to do.
Is he's trying to calm the markets, saying that they want to do a deal, all this other stuff.
Now, I do know that Iran and Pakistan went ahead and they negotiated some land routes for trading.
I was reading that earlier today.
I think they're going to open up like six different routes or something like that to do some more trade to kind of alleviate or offset some of the damage they've been taking financially with the U.S. blockade.
But the U.S. has not been able to stop all the ships, they've still been able to get quite a few through.
And make money.
And then obviously, don't forget that they also have the Caspian Sea as well.
So, yes, they're absolutely taking financial hits, but they can continue to take these hits for a bit.
They can grind through it, man.
This is a country that's been sanctioned for 50 plus years.
Or, sorry, for almost 50 years.
So, that's.
And then also, I do know that they're talking about potentially a second round of talks in Islamabad.
And I do know that Iran mentioned something about, hey, look, you know, because at first it was, we'll negotiate with you guys, but we're not going to negotiate with you guys until the blockade is done.
Now I think they're willing to come to the table.
Even with the blockade in place, because they've, you know, fomented these new routes with Pakistan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And for them, the biggest thing there is uranium, right?
Like, they don't want to have a conversation about the highly enriched uranium.
That's not something they want to talk about.
If it is on the table, there needs to be very small changes to the program.
Go ahead.
From what I read, they did say that the nuclear, sorry, they can talk about the nuclear option, but they need like full sanction relief if they're going to do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I mean, look, Iran is now finding ways to kind of relieve themselves from this economic pressure of the ports being blocked by dealing with Russia, by dealing with China.
Obviously, they've been dealing with China, but Abbas Arachi, the foreign minister, actually just met with Putin the other day, as well as the fact that now they've got these routes opening up with Pakistan.
And so you can see Donald Trump is doing the same thing on the other side, actually.
He's meeting with the CEO of Chevron.
He's trying to figure out how he can stabilize the oil markets whilst blocking their ports.
As a result, the Strait of Hormuz will be blocked.
And so I hope that this can conclude soon.
Brunson 108 right now.
Brunson 108.
Yeah, still very high.
Yeah, still high.
It seems like Donald Trump is still kind of creating outlets or plans.
If this war doesn't end, he still has something to fall back on in terms of economic relief.
And that's why it seems like he's meeting with all of these oil spokespeople, Chevron CEO, and things like that.
But I mean, look, even if we pull out of the war now or whatever, it's still so embarrassing.
And we've said this time and time again ad nauseum, but just to kind of reiterate, we've achieved nothing.
You know, we've gotten to none of our goals.
Nothing that we had desired from the beginning has actually taken place.
And look at the regression.
I think you're frozen.
Am I frozen?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Thank you for telling me.
Look at the regression of the claims or really the goals that we had in the beginning of the war.
It was, we're going to remove the regime.
We're going to destroy all their missiles.
We're going to get rid of the uranium.
And now it's like, can you please open a straight?
And so, like, our whole game plan and what we said we were going to do has not happened.
And we've pulled back so hard to the point where we're kind of at their mercy in a way.
They've been sanctioned.
They're fighting the uphill battle.
They've got everything to lose.
We've got nothing to lose.
And so, for us, we need that straight open really badly.
And they're kind of hanging it over our head like, Hey, we can open it, but you better make a good peace deal with us.
And this is like a compromised position that the United States has now put itself in.
So, but we'll keep playing.
I spoke with the winner, a very good man.
As you know, I was very strongly in favor of him in Iraq.
And we had a long conversation yesterday.
I congratulated him.
He won.
And with our help, he won, and we want him to do very well.
And I told him that the United States is with him all the way.
It was a great victory.
The new head of Iraq is somebody that we support very strongly.
Pakistan has opened the land route.
She's asking him about the land routes right now.
She's asking him about the land routes right now.
Is what she's asking about.
Pakistan with the land routes, that's what she's asking about.
I just see this interview.
I know everything.
Yeah, this is fresh.
This was earlier today.
This is about four or five hours ago.
Okay.
So lots of good information that Trump made.
He goes into CENTCOM and they're playing and he goes into Iran a little bit more.
So let's see what he has to say.
Yeah.
I have great respect.
Are you from Pakistan?
I have great respect for Pakistan and for the field marshal and for the prime minister.
Yeah, I know we've got it.
On the European Union yesterday, you talked about.
And we just pulled 5,000 troops out of Germany as well.
Respect For Pakistan00:09:11
And that may be a kind of means of punishment.
Of course, we know Donald Trump is rambunctious like that because the Chancellor of Germany had expressed so much condemnation for the war and said he's not really interested in being involved.
All he cares about is the Strait of Hormuz.
I think as a result, really, I think that's what everybody's speculating.
That's what I read on CNBC is that that was kind of our punishment to them.
Like, we're going to pull their troops out.
We're going to pull our troops out, whatever, less deployment for Ukraine, anyways.
But that was kind of where the wind was blowing.
And they've done, they feel it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Anybody that feels it's okay for Iran.
And he said that.
He said they have their right to enrich.
To have a nuclear weapon is not very smart.
And it'll be a terrible thing in the future.
If they were ever allowed to have a nuclear weapon, you would have problems the likes of which the world has never seen before, and it's not going to happen.
And aside from that, right now they have no Navy, it's been wiped out, no Air Force, it's been wiped out.
That was never the problem.
Yeah, that was never the case.
And that's why Netanyahu visited Washington six million times.
It's because of the missiles, okay?
They weren't worried about the planes that they had from the 70s.
By the way, I think I spoke about it with you.
There were reports that their Air Force had destroyed some assets or some U.S. bases.
Is that correct that I talked about that with you or was that somebody else?
Yeah, well, basically, one of their old fighter jets went into Kuwait and blew up a base.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, well, yeah, a fighter jet.
So embarrassing.
Yeah, literally, a fighter jet went.
I'll try to find the news article for you.
Yeah, but like, yeah.
We destroyed the Air Force so much that they went and they bombed the U.S. base in Kuwait.
Let me look at this.
No, it's right.
It's right.
I read that by myself as well when I was streaming, but I think you were the one who told me about it.
And so it's like, yeah, but look, he's right.
Look, they destroyed the Air Force for the most part, or really entirely.
They destroyed the Navy for the most part, is what I really mean.
But those aren't the things that pose the threats.
And they still got the speed boats that can get in the Strait of Hormuz.
They still got the drones that can rain over the heads of these ships and these vessels that are trying to pass through.
These aren't military people who are operating these vessels.
And so.
It's very easy for them to disrupt that straight.
We have to deter their ability to actually impose in the straight.
And that only happens with a peace deal.
And that's what he's not saying, of course.
But yeah, those 70s planes were bombing our bases.
Real embarrassing there.
Yeah, bro.
Let me find it.
Because, yeah, bro, like their interceptors are gone.
And we're pretty much at a very.
Hold on.
Let me see here if this is.
Well, Qatar just paid $4 billion for more Patriot missile interceptors.
We just sold them a bunch again.
And that's probably us re upping.
I might have a short right here.
Let me see if I could get this.
Go for it.
Actually, you know what?
I know what to do.
Let me.
Go ahead.
You.
I got to move some stuff around.
Yeah, I'll keep playing.
Take your time.
They have no anything.
They have no anti aircraft.
They have no radar.
They have no leaders because, frankly.
Oh, they've got all those things.
Their leaders are very disjointed.
They have a lot of problems right now.
They're not getting along with each other.
Their leaders are not getting along with each other.
So.
We raised the tariffs on cars coming in from the European Union because the European Union was not adhering to the trade deal we have.
So, based on that, now when they build their plants, of which we're spending, they're spending over a hundred billion dollars, all countries, not just the Union.
And when those plants open, there won't be any tariffs.
But let me see if I can share a screen real quick with you guys and show you this.
Give me one sec, dude.
I wish they can turn off Marine One, like, shut the helicopter off until he's done answering questions.
Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's obnoxious, dude.
It is so obnoxious.
Three engine and air in the background, it's loud as hell.
It's difficult to listen to, bro.
That's like this nigga's toupee is about to fall off.
Look at his hair, bro.
Yeah, that's his real hair.
You're going crazy.
Um, okay, let me, okay, we got that.
Okay, uh, okay, let me, let me share screen real fast with you guys.
Sorry.
Yeah, because I literally just jumped on.
I didn't even fucking get any of my shit ready.
Iranian F 5 fighter struck U.S. forces at a base in Kuwait after successfully getting past U.S. and Allied air defenses.
This is according to a brand new NBC report, which cites three U.S. officials and two congressional aides.
This allegedly happened towards the beginning of the conflict.
And if they're admitting that, likely in the first half of March, the Iranian fighter, originally built in the 60s, successfully conducted a bombing run on Camp Buring despite the presence of Patriot missile batteries.
The report hasn't been publicly verified by the U.S. military, but They're never going to verify it.
But yeah, dude, like, and this is supposed to be like, you know, they have no Air Force, we destroyed it, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, okay, man.
Like, you know, and they're just withholding information from the American public.
And I definitely think there's more soldiers dead than they're willing to admit.
And I definitely think that there's, you know, way more injured.
I think right now we're seeing it about 400 to 500 injured.
It's more than that, dude.
And this is an old ass jet, by the way.
Just so y'all know, these are jets that came out in the fucking 70s when we were still cool with the Shah, you know?
But anyway, yeah, you can go back.
I'll try to see if I can find a news article as well on it.
But go ahead, you keep going.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
We raised the tariffs because they were not, as usual, they were not adhering to the agreement that we have.
We have a trade deal with the European Union.
They were not adhering to it.
So I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks to 25%.
That's billions of dollars coming into the United States, and it forces them to move their factory production much faster.
We have right now in the United States over $100 billion of car plants being built.
It's a record.
We've never had anything like it from all countries Japan, South Korea, every, by the way, Canada, Mexico, they're all building plants in the United States.
But the European Union was not adhering to the deal that we made.
So we're dealing with Iran, as you know, it's a very disjointed, unfriendly leadership, unfriendly to each other.
They're not getting along.
Ironically enough, right?
And we always say this they're actually not disjointed.
Their claims have been consistent, regardless of whoever is the one that's actually making them, whether it's the parliament speaker or Abbas Arachi.
Those have been the most front facing leaders in this conflict, especially when it comes to the delegation of peace talks.
But they're asking for the same things over and over again.
And they've kind of had the same requests ever since the ceasefire took place in the middle, in the beginning of April.
So they've been consistent.
It's kind of been Trump that's been inconsistent asking for different things.
But ultimately, it's been the nuclear thing that's kind of been the crux of all of it.
They're very, very confused by what's happened because essentially most of their military has been wiped out.
But we just had a conversation with Iran.
Let's see what happens.
But I would say that I am not happy.
Their leadership is very disjointed, very argumentative with each other.
They come back, one says one thing, one says another, and they're very confused.
Obviously, their country has been, frankly, Decimated.
Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone.
They've got to come up with the right deal.
At this moment, I'm not satisfied with what.
Yeah, so, and there's a couple of different sources that are providing this, by the way, too.
If you, here, let me, you know what?
Let me show you guys this real quick.
I'm reading it here Vintage Irani and Northrop F 5 light fighter reportedly strikes U.S. base in Kuwait.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And you can see here, Iranian Air Force third generation fighter jet successfully conducted a bombing run against Camp Buring in Kuwait, penetrating multi layered U.S. and U.S. supplied Kuwaiti air defenses, which has raised serious questions regarding the security of American and allied military facilities, both in the Middle East and globally.
So, I mean, this is an old ass jet, dude.
And the fact that they're able to do this is kind of crazy.
And here's the this is what the fighter jet looks like.
And Iran does not have like a powerful air force whatsoever, Chad.
Okay.
Like they're.
Air Force and their Navy is a joke compared to ours.
And it's very expensive.
That's why they went with a more cost effective ballistic missile and drone program.
Because, you know, it's way cheaper and easier to use rockets and drones, right?
Obviously, fighter jets are great for accuracy and, you know, you guys, but, you know, pilots are expensive and so are fighter jets.
So, you know, it is what it is.
Iran Air Force Weakness00:12:41
But we can go back to this.
Let me, I'll take this down.
Well, I guess we're looking at it.
If we can do it, we'll.
Do it, but only if it's a good deal.
Well, we're looking at it, but if we can't make a good deal, no institutions are able to do it.
I said, I'd like to save the jobs, but we'll have an announcement sometime today.
We gave them a final proposal.
Excuse me, I'm looking at them.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Mr. President, day 60, are you going to seek congressional authorization?
Well, no other country has ever done it.
It's never been, as you know, most people consider it totally unconfident.
And by the way, what he's referring to is the War Powers Resolution, which is something Congress has power of enacting on the 60th day of a conflict.
Of course, that's imposed by the executive branch.
So Donald Trump started Operation Epic Fury.
Officially, it was started on March 1st or March 2nd.
Now we have reached that 60 day mark.
It's Friday, May 1st.
And so they have the ability, congressionally, to kind of veto the war and pull U.S. troops out of the region if they win the vote.
And so that's why yesterday, Donald Trump on paper suspended the conflict or said that it's no longer active so that Congress would have a feasible ability.
Yeah.
You said it yesterday.
Was it today?
Okay.
I thought it was yesterday.
Yesterday, yeah.
I don't know if he said it yesterday, too, but I know today he definitely said, yeah, the war is over, so there's no need.
And it's a loophole, right?
And the Senate was probably going to be able, the Senate was probably going to be able to overturn it, but I don't think he wanted to run the risk because Republicans are shifting a little bit in the House and the Senate.
They're kind of starting to become frustrated with the war.
And so I think there was a little bit of concern from the administration.
Hey, maybe we ought to just say front facing that this is over so we don't have to deal with it.
But I mean, even then, you know, Israel can just poke the bear and then we have more than enough of an excuse to get back into the region.
It doesn't take a lot.
This is a fragile situation.
So it really doesn't take a whole lot for us to get back involved.
That war powers resolution thing, that was.
I think from 1973 for the Vietnam conflict, it's really not that powerful.
If Donald Trump wanted to go back to war, he could have.
Yeah, no.
And the other thing, too, is he has a bunch of guys in the region.
What, we got 60,000 troops over there, if I'm not mistaken, now?
And he mobilized a bunch of other people.
And I know a lot of people got orders as well that they're going to deploy.
Recently.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I've heard some things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Another set of strikes would just be, and I said this the other day, another set of strikes would be really stupid.
And the reason why is maybe it motivates Iran to come to the table, but ultimately, the reason why it's dumb, it's not even for Iran's sake.
It's stupid because, again, these Gulf countries are going to suffer as a result.
And that worsens our influence in the region.
Very simple.
Yeah, because everything that happens is going to get us, everything that we do is going to get our allies in the region completely cooked.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And so Trump says later on at some point in this one, I'll play it in a moment, that Central Command said that they could obliterate them if he wanted them to.
And they gave the offer.
I don't know how true that really is.
I think that everybody realizes further strikes would subsequently result in the Gulf being destroyed.
It's a bad idea.
And we've seen that for the first 40 days before the ceasefire started.
So he's going to mention that in a moment.
You know, we have a country that lost its way.
It really lost its way.
That's our country in terms of the military.
Now we have a great military.
We're on our way to another victory, a big victory, and I don't think that it's constitutional what they're asking for.
These are not patriotic people that are asking.
You know, when they say, even the losers, even the ones that say all the wrong things admit that it's been amazing what we've done.
The Strait is totally shut down.
It's flawless.
It's totally 100% shut down.
Now, we've been dealing with Iran.
They want to make a deal.
They're not there.
They're not with us.
I mean, if they want to make a deal, why didn't they show up to Pakistan last week and the week before?
You know, they were allegedly on the way and then they didn't go and they said it's a waste of time.
The parliament speaker said, we're not going to show up because the United States has demands that are simply not realistic for us.
So we're not even going to waste our time.
So it's really not that they're desperate for a deal.
They would love the right deal.
But until that comes into fruition, they're not willing to talk.
And this is what he omits every time.
No, I was going to say, I think they might have talks with the blockade still in place.
From what I understood, Iran is willing to come to the table and talk to them now with the blockade in place.
I saw a couple people report it.
I saw Mario report it.
And then I saw, when I looked it up myself, it seems as though it is.
Let me see what other sources are saying this.
Because that is a big concession if they're still willing to come to the table.
With the blockade in place, but I think they want security assurances that they don't get attacked again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see here out of Al Jazeera, Iran's top diplomat or the foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, said Tehran remains open to diplomacy if Washington stops its, quote, expansionist approach and threatening rhetoric.
So potentially, yeah.
And that would be nice, right?
But it's just Donald Trump making the matter worse than it needs to be.
And this is, of course, him posturing, and he doesn't want to look weak.
Because we've gotten nothing done.
So he at least has to make it look like we made Iran fold.
Yeah.
And it's like kind of huge strategic failure.
Yeah.
And so it's this damage control like who folds first.
And Donald Trump is desperate to make them fold first.
So he'll keep up that blockade as long as he needs to until Iran makes some sort of concession.
And I think they see that from their side too.
We'll see what happens.
But yeah, let's hope that's the case.
I mean, this weekend, maybe there will be something going on.
But as of right now, I don't see any U.S. delegation in place to head out.
But can't they just do this on the phone at this point?
I mean, yeah.
That long, ridiculous, mama bought all to not make an agreement.
Yeah, it's kind of silly.
They get close, and then a new group of people come in.
They don't know who their leaders are.
They have no idea who their leaders are, but they're very good people.
They know who their leaders are, bro.
And that's because of the success we've had, military.
What's that?
I hate when he says that shit because it's like, bro, you know who the leaders are, man.
You're just on some fucking bullshit.
You know who the leaders are.
He has to make it seem that way.
You know, he has to make it seem like we did so much damage, but really, they got a lot of their leadership left.
And Mochtaba Khomeini, he said in a statement just not too long ago, and I can pull it up, that they're not going to make any concessions on the uranium.
They're not going to make any sort of concession on the uranium, and they're not going to actually come to the table to have some sort of talk about removing it from their soil, which is what JD Vance had initially proposed when he was there a couple weeks ago to relocate the uranium and drop the enrichment to a level that is, I don't even think, capable of powering a power plant.
So he condemned that.
They essentially have no military.
Oh, they've got a military.
That's why you have instructions.
Them because the Gulf is next.
And that's why you're not invading either.
Yeah.
They definitely got a military.
What's that?
I said, no, they definitely have a military.
They still got their army and everything like that.
That's why we're not invading.
Yeah.
They got all the forces on the ground, man.
Arguably a million plus people on the ground ready to fight.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah, and they're not too happy about their power plant day jokes and shit.
Well, thank you very much.
Oops.
Yeah, they're not.
They're sort of, they get close, and then a new group of people come in.
They don't know who their leaders are, they have no idea who their leaders are, but they're very confused, and that's because of the success we've had militarily.
They essentially.
Bro, no military.
It's not just our.
Everyone's confused, bro.
You keep flip flopping every day.
One day the war is done.
Another day we won the war.
Another day open up the straight.
Another day we don't need the straight.
It's like, bro, he flip flops every single day, bro.
Everyone's confused.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's supposed to be a nightmare to do a diplomacy with this guy, bro.
And then it's like, oh, yeah, they're in the middle of diplomacy and then they bomb him.
You know what I mean?
It's like, come on, man.
And it's for two main reasons.
It's one because he's losing and he has to cope.
So this is a coping mechanism.
But two, and most importantly, it's so he can manipulate the stock market and the oil prices.
And that's what he's been doing effectively.
You know, that's why Brent crude has been so volatile, despite the fact that the Strait of Hormuz has remained blocked entirely with short moments previously where it was opened.
But realistically, over the course of the last 50 or 60 days, oil has been completely choked for the most part in regards to the Strait of Hormuz.
But Trump has still been able to kind of keep it below 120 because of the fact that he's alluding to peace.
And then he says, peace is tomorrow.
And then he says, they don't have military leadership.
Then he says, we destroyed everybody.
And they don't know what to do.
And then he says, Oh, they're talking nice now.
And that's kind of a manipulation as well.
And he's been doing that on Truth Social, but it's like the boy who cried, Wolf, how long is that going to work?
Yeah.
And it's not working as much.
Because if you notice, it doesn't go down as much.
Exactly.
It has not dropped because previously, Donald Trump in the beginning of April said, We are very close to making a deal.
And what happened?
SP 500 at all time high.
NASDAQ was up.
Oil prices dropped to, I believe, around 91, almost in the 80s at one point, or it was 88.
And so, His claims and his promises were actually making a dent.
Now, if he tries to make those same claims, and this is what all the experts are saying, it's not going to have the same effect.
No one's going to believe it as much as they did initially.
And this is going to cause for a lot more issues and a lot more pressure on his neck, which is why everybody believes maybe strikes will come next to make Iran concede.
But I just say, can we please let go of the blockade on their ports?
It's not doing much, anyways.
Allegedly, 34 plus ships have passed through.
That's alleged.
Some of them pose as Iraqi ships to get through, as non Iranian ships.
All of these reports I'm seeing.
So it's like, are we even choking them as much as we say we are?
And on Sunday, Trump said their oil pipeline is going to blow up because of our blockade.
And so they're going to have to close it.
It's going to cause this logistic issue and it's going to be a big explosion Wednesday morning.
And the parliament speaker on Wednesday had tweeted, Mohammed Ghalibov, he said, no explosion happened and he continued to mock the president.
And so it's like all these claims, they work in the beginning, but you got to get somewhere here.
You know, you can't keep it straddling along.
At some point, no one's going to believe you.
And you're really going to look like a loser, at least to mainstream media, right?
Because he's painting it like we had this upper hand.
But as this goes on and on and on, we get to June, we get to July, everybody's going to start to wake up and go, something's fishy here.
Obviously, we've woken up, and a lot of people who are watching know what's going on, but a lot of the general populace still really doesn't have a clue as to how detrimental this is for the United States.
Yeah.
And it's like you said, the boy that cried wolf is really the main thing here because every time, yeah, and keep in mind, guys, we got 400 million barrels of oil that was deployed strategically at the beginning of this crisis, right?
So, You know, we still haven't really gotten the hit yet, assuming this conflict continues on.
Like, once that oil is done for, you know, and the war looks like it's going to, it continues on, we're talking about even more price hikes.
This is with 400 million barrels of oil literally deployed from the IEA.
Yep.
Absolutely.
And the true social posts.
Really quick.
Yeah, go ahead.
Really quick chats.
I only have three.
Here's a free donation voucher.
Thank you so much, 13th.
I appreciate it.
Chila Jamo, thank you for the $20.
He says, appreciate you guys for the breakdowns on this conflict.
It is incredible how many people have been misinformed by MSM.
Hearing you guys grill Shin Betstar of David is funny too.
Yeah, we gotta hold these people accountable who are wrong.
You know, these people have large audiences.
So it's not about being petty and attacking them, but we just have to debunk the lies.
13th also says, work hard, save, and then invest.
Yes, thank you so much.
And then 13th says another donation.
Thank you so much, my friend.
I appreciate the love.
All right, let's get back.
Let me just say you're the war powers.
So many presidents, as you know, have gone and exceeded it.
It's never been used, it's never been adhered to.
When every other president considered it totally unconstitutional, and we agree with it.
That's true.
That's true.
Nuclear Threat Reality00:15:39
And the president is commander in chief.
And so that War Resolution Act, you can argue, is a little bit unconstitutional, whatever.
But the whole idea is that the government is balanced, right?
And so it makes sense on paper if the president starts a stupid war and stays involved in it out of a matter of pride, which is kind of what we're seeing now, or whatever other case like Vietnam or others, it gives Congress the ability to override that.
And that's what Congress exists for, to kind of check that executive power.
But it's very easy for Trump or any other president to kind of work around that.
And I mean, I saw you were talking.
I just want to ask you you were talking to Alex about this and Alex Jones, of course, and it was a great interview.
You were dropping a lot of bombshells, but how frustrating is it that the last three weeks have just been this like redundant?
Like, I just feel like I'm losing my mind talking about this.
Not that it's not important, but it's like ceasefire, talks, no deal.
Ceasefire, talks, no talks, no deal, nuclear, then nuclear is off the table.
And it's just like a vicious cycle.
Something's got to give here, you know, at some point.
I don't know if there's going to be a strike.
I don't know if Iran is going to do something different.
They have made threats to maybe hurl attacks at some of these vessels that belong to the United States.
Machsabah Khomeini released a threat the other day and said, we're going to sink these U.S. vessels to the bottom of the ocean.
And so, like, you know, you just wait for something to kind of fork this consistency.
But it's been.
To see that we've gotten nowhere.
I mean, it's been a month now that the ceasefire has taken place, which is great, but there's been literally no progress.
And hopefully, we're on the way to that with some of the things that you were just saying.
From our perspective, there's been no progress because it's like, you know, and I think this is why they changed the objectives like on day one and they said, oh, yeah, we're going to destroy their Navy, we're going to destroy their Air Force.
Well, let's be honest, dude.
Like, those things weren't a threat from the beginning.
You're just saying this so that you can have strategic W's that you can go, you know, report to the American people.
It's kind of like prosecutors.
What they'll do is, They'll have charges that they really want, but then they'll have like some safe charges that no matter what happens, rain, or rain, hail, or shine, they're going to have those charges.
Like you look at Diddy, right?
Diddy, they charged him with sex trafficking in Rico.
They knew that was very ambitious.
So what they did was they had what I call like safety charges, like, hey, we're going to hit him with interstate transportation of prostitutes because they know they could prove that all day, every day.
The barrier to entry is low.
Same exact thing here.
Okay, we're going to go ahead and get involved in this ambitious war, but.
We're going to, um, you know, have these objectives in place that we know that we can accomplish.
That's why they went so aggressively with trying to destroy the fighter jets and the vessels, which, by the way, a lot of the fighter jets they thought they destroyed were really just like painted on, um, images.
And SEDCOM was like posting it like they were really destroying the fighter jets.
So that was pretty funny.
But they wanted to have these easy objectives there, but they knew the real objectives stopping them from funding the proxies, stopping them from enriching altogether, and then obviously trying to get them to stop their ballistic missile program or have it where it's only 300 kilometers.
These were the real threats that they needed to kind of deal with.
And they knew that they wouldn't be able to do that up front.
That's why they didn't state them as like real objectives in the beginning.
Even though, even though it's very important that you guys understand this, the war was first fought.
Because they said, look, we're not going to negotiate with Iran unless they stop fighting the proxies, bring the ballistic missiles down to 300 kilometers, and stop enrichment altogether.
These three things, or else we're going to have a war.
Iran said, no, we're not even going to bother with the ballistic missile program or anything.
The only thing we'll talk to you guys about is nuclear.
That's the only thing.
We're not going to talk to you guys about proxies, and we're not going to talk to you guys about our ballistic missile program because these are the only things that keep us safe from you guys attacking us.
When they did that, that's when Trump went ahead and attacked them.
Then once they attacked, What did they do?
They changed the strategic objectives so they can have some W's that they could put up on the game board.
And it's very important people understand this.
The Navy and the Air Force was never a threat ever.
It was always the proxies, bliss and misery program, and enrichment.
And Iran refused to not be able to enrich because they look at it like, hey, it's our sovereign right as a sovereign country to be able to enrich uranium.
Everyone else can enrich uranium.
Why can't we?
This is BS.
So it's a very pride thing for them to be able to enrich uranium because the United States had said for a while, you can enrich uranium, but you can't enrich past what, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, right?
And Iran had agreed to that.
Well, that's what the Iranian nuclear deal had stipulated 3.6 or 3.7.
And they had this deal in place where they would, in exchange for letting them enrich, they would give their stockpiles up, everything else like that.
And this deal was struck in Oman, right?
Between Kushner and Jared Kushner, Witkoff, and obviously Aragachi and these guys when they were doing the indirect talks in Oman.
And the Omani middleman went and spoke, I think it was on CBN or CBS News, and told, hey, this is what the deal was.
It was a great deal in neither United States and neither did Iran.
Deny that these were the terms.
Both of them, like, no one corrected them on what he said.
So, what he said was true.
Hey, they had a good deal in place.
It was really a lot of advance.
It was, you know, we progressed quite a bit.
And, you know, it would have been a better deal than the JCPOA because there was no stockpiling involved.
The JCPOA allowed for stockpiling to a degree.
They were willing to completely not have any stockpiles.
So, this deal would have been better.
But again, like I said before, it was never up the uranium and the enrichment and the nuclear program.
That is the domestic lie that our administration tells us.
To justify the war because they know they can sell that to the American people.
They cannot sell stopping the proxying.
Exactly.
They cannot sell stopping the proxies who are in a danger to us in the Middle East.
They cannot sell the bliss and miss a program that can't touch us over here.
So they have to use the nuclear angle.
This is why Trump fucking repeats it odd and awesome.
Oh, they can't have a nuclear bomb.
They can't have a nuclear bomb.
They can't have a nuclear bomb.
And most people are not aware of how uranium enrichment works.
So what they do is, right?
And this is how they deceive you guys.
What they say is this okay, we know the American public, if we say nuclear, And that these guys are crazy, that'll work for us.
But what they don't say is, yo, Iran is totally willing to give up nuclear weapon ambitions, but they want to enrich at a lower level.
And a lot of Americans don't understand how the uranium process works.
And then Marco Rubio and these other guys, what they'll say all the time is, well, there's no need to enrich the 60%.
What they won't tell you is the only reason they enriched the 60% was so that they can negotiate and use that 60% enriched uranium as a bargaining tool to alleviate the sanctions.
That was always.
More of a deterrent slash a trading bargaining chip rather than them actually working towards really trying to get a nuclear bomb.
So they could have created one.
They could have made one.
Let's be honest.
They could have made one a long time ago.
And they had religious rulings not to create one by the leader who is now dead and has been succeeded by his more extreme son that will probably race to a nuke if a deal is not met in the next five or six weeks.
And so we've made the matter worse.
And something very important to add as well that's great.
And in everything you said, is actually that's probably the best, like very concise way of explaining the matter from the beginning to the end.
Something important as well to note all of the issues that Iran proposes, at least to the world, it's really not to the world, it's to Israel, right?
Their proxy network.
That all threatens Israel.
Their missiles program, that all threatens Israel.
It only now threatened the Gulf countries because we attacked them and they needed a means to fight back.
And so they hit our bases, military bases in those countries.
And so when you look at it top to bottom, you could even argue from the nuclear point as well and can see here the only reason that Iran would ever obtain a nuke and use it wouldn't be against the United States, it would be against Israel.
And so all of this is, of course, for Netanyahu.
That's why he was in Washington and Mar a Lago so many times since Trump got into office in 2024.
And we use the pretext of the nuclear bomb because that sounds attractive to the American ear or to the regular person.
Like, oh man, we can't let these crazy Muslims have bombs, right?
Marco Rubio always says, oh, they're crazy Shia clerics.
And JD Vance said they can't have a dirty bomb.
They echo the same idea and the same rhetoric, but really they were never going to make one.
And that's something that when I say it, MAGA people get so angry, but it's like you don't have an understanding of the situation.
You don't know what hedging is.
You don't have any idea about mutually assured destruction.
What Iran was doing was ensuring they can maintain their sovereignty.
The United States violated that despite them enriching close to weapons grade, which would be 90%.
And so, just at the 60% that got them attacked, well, then now if there's no deal made, they're going to try and really make a bomb or get a lot closer.
Because if the 60% wasn't already attacking them, the only thing, I'm sorry?
No, I said, and that's assuming they don't already have one right now.
Already have one, yeah.
And if they don't, they're racing.
And that's what all the experts are saying, right?
Scott Horton, Robert Pate.
If there's any time that Iran has going to race to a nuke, it would be now.
So, we made the matter so much worse.
And even if we get a peace deal or whatever, who knows what they're doing behind closed doors?
Do you think they're going to trust us anymore?
Definitely not under this administration.
So, even if they sign some sort of deal or say that we're done, it'd probably be a lie or done in bad faith because they know the United States could attack them at any moment.
And Trump still has another two years in office, plenty of time to resume this war.
And Vata Falls, thank you so much for the 35 gifted, bro.
Thank you.
Shout out to you, Red Pill Clipper.
Shout out to you guys gifting the subs.
All you brokies in the chat, make sure to say, I'm a broky, andor say, You know, I put the fries in the bag.
Red Pill Clippers, Ace Tone, What's Up 101, 1234 Jeffrey, Handy Andy, that's a crazy name, Gaben, Sim Sim 97.
So that's all you guys with the give the subs.
Appreciate you guys so much, man.
I'm happy to be back, by the way.
But yeah, it's very important.
Thank you, man.
But it's very important for you guys to understand how the dynamic changed and how they're lying to you and how they're trying to sell this war to you.
The reason why they use the nuclear bomb and Trump always says they can't have a nuclear bomb, these guys are crazy, et cetera.
It's all framing to make it look like, hey, these guys are crazy clerics that if they get a nuclear bomb, the United States is in danger.
The reality is that the Iranians are far more measured and reserved than the Israelis are.
And to be honest with you, they'd probably be less reckless with a nuclear bomb than the Israelis.
Don't forget, guys, that the Israelis have a completely illegal nuclear program that they stole from us.
And they purposely keep it, it's called strategic ambiguity, is their strategy.
Because they know that if they were to come out and talk about and actually use the nuclear bomb, whatever, we would not be able to give them foreign aid the way that we do because we have a law in place where anyone that illegally proliferates nuclear weapons can't get military or aid in general.
So this is why they exercise this strategic ambiguity.
But do not let these guys fool you, man.
Trump uses the nuclear angle because he knows that people that are fooled, most Americans are stupid.
Most Americans don't understand how nuclear bombs are made, they don't understand that there's two different routes to get to it, and uranium enrichment is one way, and then you obviously have a nuclear reactor, which is the other way.
And they don't understand that the Iranians only enriched to 60% because we pulled out of the JCPOA.
Had we not pulled out of the JCPOA, they would have never needed to and never enriched to 60%.
It was only when we went back on our agreement, on our deal, right, that they said, you know what, these guys can't be trusted.
We're going to start enriching uranium at a higher level because these guys are going to be aggressive at us.
Because you guys got to remember, this didn't just happen in a vacuum.
First, Obama, 2015, Obama and John Kerry strike the nuclear deal, right?
It took them two years.
To come up with that nuclear deal, by the way.
It was an enormous amount of work that they put in.
Once they get it, Trump comes in three years later, pulls them out of the JCPOA.
Mike Pompeo designates the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.
Heavy sanctions come back.
So in their mind, they're like, oh, wow, these guys pulled out the deal and now they're trying to destroy us via sanctions and they just labeled the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
Why is that important?
That's important because once you label the IRGC as a terrorist organization, that allows Trump and the U.S. government in general to more aggressively target and go after.
The IRGC.
Then they killed Soleimani in 2020.
So at this point, they're like, okay, these guys are planning to attack us.
There's a lot of aggression there.
Soleimani was the head of the axis of resistance, just for you guys who don't know.
He was the one who was in control of the proxy network and created it.
So in their mind, if you're Iran, right, if you're Iran, you strike a deal, then three years later, this guy comes in, pulls out the deal, makes it, labels your IRGC a terrorist organization, kills Soleimani, puts crippling sanctions back on you.
Like this is all aggression.
This is damn near like acts of war.
So in their mind, they're like, okay.
These guys might attack us.
Let's enrich to a higher level so they leave us alone.
And don't forget, guys, Kim Jong un got a nuclear bomb, right?
To the condemnation of the whole world.
But guess what?
No one's attacking North Korea.
So when you're a country like Iran or one of these countries where you're dealing with aggressive Israelis, the United States, the only thing really that could protect you is a nuclear bomb.
This is why they enrich to 60%.
So don't fall for the Hasbara that they tell you on Fox News where, oh, they're crazy clerics.
They want to get a nuclear bomb, blah, blah, blah.
The only reason they were even trying to get a nuclear bomb.
Was because of our aggression, right?
And they never tell you the full story, Chad.
They always start the story at the end.
They want to get a nuclear bomb.
Well, ask them why.
Oh, because they're crazy.
Okay, why are they crazy?
And if you actually ask them why enough and they're not stupid, they will have to admit that it was US aggression and foreign policy that led them to that.
And also, that in and of itself is a tell that this war's ultimate goal is regime change.
And I'll tell you why.
And you told Alex Jones this intelligence told Donald Trump before he started this operation.
This is a bad idea because they likely knew not only that it would be an attritional war, it'd be difficult for the United States to actually remove the regime, but ultimately, and I think this was the framework from which they were coming from if we attack Iran and they're already at 60%, if we don't remove them entirely, well, then they're going to go to 90%.
They're going to make a bomb.
And so starting this war on the pretext of a nuke is actually what proposed or motivated them to get a nuke.
And so you would think, how did we not know that?
The goal was changing the regime.
This was not supposed to be a 60 day conflict that ended in a ceasefire.
This was supposed to be Iran is done.
We were supposed to turn Iran to nothing, bring it to ashes, and bring it back up with the Iranian diaspora crowd, that crowd that is favorable of the Shah, like the Patrick McDavids and others.
They were supposed to take control of the country, and then Israel was supposed to do whatever they wanted in the region, and we can no longer tip our finger on the scale and have power.
That was the goal.
We didn't get there.
Iran actually resisted.
This is why we say they effectively won, especially strategically, because the whole idea was regime change.
We knew we were not going to actually.
Like, reduce the nuclear threat if we attack them.
We were going to increase it.
So, the idea was to just eradicate them overall.
That's something as well that a lot of people don't really realize.
And of course, you would never understand that from watching Trump, you know, front facing.
But yeah, that's what they did.
You're completely right.
Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Axis of Resistance, then Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, which is the proxy group in southern Lebanon that's very close to Israel, always poses a threat to them.
They killed them as well.
The Pager attack fractured a lot of Lebanon, or really Hezbollah as well.
And that was more psychological warfare than anything.
So, it was a systematic set of events or really chronological order to enable Israel to be able to fight this war with a little bit less difficulty, which has not even been the case.
They're still fighting right now in southern Lebanon, and the IDF has sustained mass casualties, some of which the likes we haven't seen in recent history.
Petrodollar Independence00:04:09
So, yeah, we can keep playing the video.
Will Iran affect the United States?
No, to China, to China, it's going to be amazing.
The visit with China and Germany.
That's going to be great.
Oh, and I believe that's May 5th.
I think Donald Trump is heading over to China to meet Xi Jinping.
So that's another reason why he might try to get this thing handled sooner than later as well.
Yeah.
We have the trip with China coming up, and I think it'll be an amazing event.
Guys, get your chats in now.
I'm going to read chats here in a little bit.
So get your chats in now.
And thank you again, Vada Falls.
I see with the 10 gifted.
Wait, I'm going to read all the super chats here in a second, guys.
So get your Rumble rants in or OSS chats in here a second.
I'm going to read them.
Go ahead, bro.
You got it.
Deal on Iran.
What next?
What will you do?
Well, right now we have negotiations going on.
They're not getting there.
They are very disjointed, they're extremely disjointed.
They're not able to get along with each other.
Just keep saying the same thing.
As leaders, they don't know who the leader is.
Their military's been defeated.
We've had a.
If we left right now, it would take them 20 years to build back that country.
But we're not satisfied at this point.
Oh, yeah.
And how about our destroyed bases?
How long would it take for us to rebuild those if those Gulf countries even allow us to?
Because they serve no purpose.
They're definitely.
We're done in the Gulf, bro.
We're absolutely.
Like, the biggest.
I would argue the biggest problem from this conflict is.
We will not.
I'd be shocked if we were able to maintain any type of real military presence in the Gulf after this.
And I think that UAE leaving OPEC is kind of the beginning.
That's something else new that we didn't get a chance to talk about.
I was just going to say that.
Like, I think the UAE leaving OPEC, people think that's a good thing.
I think it's a bad thing.
No, that's likely a bad thing.
And front facingly, there is some overlap in U.S. and Arab influence or interest there.
The UAE leaving OPEC, if you guys don't know what OPEC is, It's the organization of petroleum exportation.
Petroleum exportation, it's like an intergovernmental kind of cartel operation that ensures that every single country that's responsible for drilling this oil, exporting it, is similar in price.
And so that no country kind of hedges over the other.
It keeps everything fair for the global oil market.
The UAE is pulled out of that.
And so they're kind of a lone wolf.
And they have the ability to do that.
They have enough oil to do it.
But the real issue now is are other countries going to follow?
Is Saudi Arabia next?
We know Saudi Arabia is an opportunistic country that jumps on anything that seems like is fruitful for the future.
And so maybe Saudi Arabia follows.
And that could, at some point, after a chain of events, lead to these countries not needing the United States or, more importantly, the petrodollar.
And that's really, really important for the United States and our influence.
And that's something you've been saying over and over time again.
So that's also another scary thing.
We'll see where that goes.
But Whatever these countries are saying to the media, I really would take it with a grain of salt.
Because imagine you're Mohammed bin Zayed, you are the king of the UAE, or you're the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, and Prince Sultan Air Base, which is an air base in Saudi Arabia just about southeast of the capital Riyadh, and their base got hit.
Our AWAC system got hit, our E3.
These countries have been hit with strikes from Iran, or even maybe their air forces, some reports suggest.
And so they are likely very frustrated.
And maybe they're working under the table.
Pissed to set something up for the future so they don't have to depend on the United States anymore.
At the same time, Iran is talking with China, Iran is talking with Russia in front of the media.
They're not hiding it.
Abbas Araqchi was all over the news the other day, hopping off of the plane on the tarmac in Russia, meeting Putin.
Okay, same thing in China.
China has been very public about their strategic relationship with Iran for 25 years now, and they called for the war to end.
Future Energy Strategy00:13:37
They said that Iran has the right to defend itself, and they condemned the attacks on February 28th.
The Gulf countries as well wanted peace in the beginning, they only shifted towards fighting Iran.
Because they were getting rained on with missiles and drones.
But after this is all said and done with, and the storm has weathered, what is that going to look like for the United States?
Are we going to be able to step back in and say, hey guys, we're back and we're going to defend you militarily?
That is likely not going to be something we can exercise anymore.
And that's what's also very detrimental about this war.
And like we said, this serves Israel's interests.
It doesn't serve our interests.
Benjamin Netanyahu's not thinking about this.
All he's thinking about is, I can't have Hezbollah in the north.
I can't have Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
I can't have the Houthis in Yemen.
And I can't have the IRGC over east.
So these all.
Are issues that must be taken care of.
I'm not worried about the United States.
As long as they can give us weapons, we're good.
Let's see.
I have a couple chats here.
I'll quickly read.
I'm not going to have as many as you.
Ask.
Oh.
One second.
Culture Clips says Ask Myron if he realizes that clavicular is the Gen Z Epstein.
Okay.
Being groomed by billionaires using the same playbook.
No, I disagree.
I think clavicular just does not care about politics at all, bro.
Yeah.
Balkan Goy 14 says I put bag in the fries.
Thanks so much.
Um, good name by the way.
13th says another W donation.
Hey, thanks so much, bro, for the uh support, appreciate that.
Why would I tell you that?
Why would I tell you that?
I mean, he's got a point.
Why would he say that?
That's true.
That's true.
But, I mean, he kind of suggests it in a moment because he talks about central command, so we'll see.
We're looking at it.
We're looking at trying to help them.
Something we're not looking to get involved with, but we've had 14,000 jobs.
We are, I would say, we're driving a tough deal, but that's one of those things.
We'll do it or we won't.
We'll have something for you at dinner tomorrow.
Let me turn captions on for you guys because really hard to hear.
Other lenders are bumping.
Do you think they'll get bumped down in priorities?
Well, they will.
We come first.
Hey, you know what it is?
USA first.
America first.
That's my advice.
Including with airlines.
Including with Intel.
You know, we made an Intel deal.
You know that, right?
We made about $40 billion on that.
And someday Fox and Peter are going to talk about it.
But we helped out Intel and we ended up making $40 billion.
So we're looking at Spirit differently.
All right.
That shit is unbearable.
That audio is fucking unbearable.
Well, let me go ahead and just play some of this other stuff that I have here because that is fucking painful, dude.
Holy.
Yeah.
Let me.
Did you see Adam Mockler and Scott Jennings on CNN?
Yeah.
I saw, I didn't see the full debate.
I just saw him getting mad at him for fucking.
Call 10 minutes so we can watch that later.
Okay.
Let me read some of these chats here.
Okay.
So we got here.
We are taking Cuba from Urban Legend.
Okay.
Myron, turn it up.
All right.
W Dynamic Duo.
Love you guys.
Pause for my Poe Clippers.
Um, Vata Falls, thank you for the 10 gifted again.
Appreciate you, bro.
Um, let's see here.
I saw you earlier today live on Alex Jones.
Awesome, Clap.
Did you just get back?
Yeah, I literally just landed like, uh, I landed at like 8 30.
I just came right here from the airport.
I'm on cloud.
I gotta say, I laughed when Alex wanted you to do the Durka Durka thing.
Okay.
Ibrahim says, any idea why Trump glazes Pakistan so much?
What do they have so, uh, provide so much value?
Um, well, here's the thing with Pakistan, bro.
Pakistan kind of plays both sides.
Okay.
Um, Like, we never really, speaking of Pakistan, this actually marks a 15 year anniversary for those of you that don't know that we got Osama bin Laden.
And we actually didn't notify the Pakistanis that we were going to go into there to do the strike.
So, fun fact for you guys.
But yeah, they're a nuclear power, bro.
They're a nuclear power.
They have quite a bit of influence in the Muslim world.
They're one of the few strong Muslim countries that we're aligned with.
But you're right?
Banged the shit out of my knee.
Oh, you banged your knee?
Rushed him back.
So that's why we get along with Pakistan, but we don't trust them that much, to be honest with y'all.
Outside Logic, Ivan insulting somebody.
Okay, Outside Logic.
Alan says, I'm no fan of JD Vance, but don't think at this he can do a better job than Trump for the rest of this term if Trump's impeached in November.
Well, I don't really know, bro.
I don't even think these guys are, you know, these guys are fucking stupid, bro.
They really thought that they were going to be able to take this thing in five days.
Vata Falls with the Big 25 gifted.
Thank you.
Don't forget, JD Vance was fighting for this war.
He said that it was a good idea for years.
So he might act smart now, but he was on the same hype train about attacking Iran for years and years.
Oh, dude.
He was at the RNC, I'll never forget.
Before he even said anything at the RNC, first thing this dude said was, oh, yeah, we need to punch Iran in the nose.
Like, you know, at the RNC when he got, you know, placed as vice president, that's literally the first thing he said in his first interview.
Yeah, we need to punch Iran in the nose.
So it's like, all right, dude.
You know what I mean?
Really?
Okay, what else do we got here?
Okay.
Jose PR says, catching a live stream for work, listening in.
Best real nigga news.
You know it, bro, Jose.
Aman says, gas in my area was $2.68 before the war.
Now it's $5.
Yep.
God damn.
Yeah, it doubled, man.
Alejandro Ramirez.
Hey, Martin.
As you know, my brother's stationed in Cuba.
How likely is it for Trump to invade Cuba?
He said today he's going to have to do it.
I don't think he's going to invade.
I think, if anything, it'll be a limited invasion.
I don't think it's going to be anything wild like that.
Um, What else do we got here?
Best political commentator on any platform by far, Myron and Riyadh.
Got you, Kyle.
We got y'all, man.
ZHC repealed 19th.
These girls are out of control.
Yep.
Yo, W. Myron, love what you and your brother do.
Keep up with the good work.
Super inspiring.
Also, whatever happened to ASU.
The problem with ASU is when we went to ASU, the person that we were supposed to sponsor the event backed out.
They basically cowered out.
W. Alex Jones, Tripp, thank you very much.
Appreciate you, G. Off.
Let's see here.
KMP Emperor says, Glad you're back, Myron.
Do you think Trump will commit a ground assault coming soon since nothing has truly happened?
And since the ceasefire, do you think there are some firefights going on behind the scenes like that failed attempt to steal the uranium?
Well, definitely stuff going on behind the scenes.
But yeah, I think Trump is at a crossroads here of what is he going to do?
Young Dolph, Doug Myron, is Penn State still on the board date?
Just TBD?
No.
Penn State's going to have to be next semester.
EB Baltimore says, you won't debate Nick because.
Yeah, this dude is so stupid, bro.
EB Baltimore, dude says, you won't debate Nick Mato because you would be going backwards since you just debated Dinesh, but you will debate random no name college kids.
Yeah, debating on a college campus is not the same.
Like, the fact that you're.
People are so dense, dude.
Yo, dude, you're so fucking stupid.
Doing a college tour to influence the youth is not the same thing as debating a nobody.
Like that, that's actually content.
People like to watch that.
You have an influence on one of the most impactful generations in the United States, that being Gen Z. That's why you do it versus debating some nobody.
What's like, what is he talking about?
Yo, that's incredible.
Like, we even have to explain this to this dude, bro.
Dude is stupid as fuck.
Like, really, dude?
Like, you're that dumb that we have to explain that to you?
EB Baltimore, you're fucking stupid.
You're more than like, you know what?
You're probably black, bro, if I'm going to be honest.
You got Baltimore in your name.
So this explains everything.
Holy shit, man.
49 for in Ohio for gas.
Yeah.
This Baltimore guy is a fucking retard.
So stupid, dude.
Bro, really try to compare the two.
Like, yes, after debating Dinesh, going and talking to Nick, Nick Mateau is absolutely going backwards.
He's a nobody, like I told you.
And then going on a college campus and debating is not the same as debating someone who's a cloud chaser, you moron.
Like, so stupid, dude.
Right now, I do want to get you to some of the latest that we are following.
Like, what's he going to do?
Glaze Israel all day about why this war is a good idea?
This war is an indefensible position, bro.
Like, are you that dumb?
You know, I've really just become disinterested in the idea of debating Zionists.
And that might seem ignorant, but it's like it's just such a poor worldview.
It's such a skewed world.
To be for this war, to think that this war is positive, to be pro Israel, it's almost to the point where it's like you will lose IQ points if you have to debate against that.
You know, if you argue with a fool, to some degree, you're going to have to become one.
And that's just where I've gotten to this point.
You know, when I see these debates, like, Palestine versus Israel, it's like, ugh, you know what I mean?
And you got to be a dimwit to not understand the Middle East is in ruins because of the question of Palestine.
Like, that's what started everything.
And then people still argue that Israel should have sovereignty to the entire land.
It's like you just don't get anything.
You know, you got to be a dummy to like debating that is like you got to take it 30 levels back.
You got to start in like 1890 something.
Yeah.
And it's just like, honestly, if I even need to do that with you, are you debating in good faith or are you being paid?
You know, so it just becomes increasingly frustrating when you see that rhetoric and it's fresh and it's coming out every day saying that this war is good and that Israel has the right.
It's like, what are you talking about?
You know, it's like, how, and that doesn't mean you have to be like, Pro Ron, you know, it doesn't even mean you have to be parallel with our views, but to be on the wrong side, it's never been easier to be right, I feel.
And for somebody to still be wrong shows, they're either paid or they're willfully ignorant.
And to that, I feel like you just would have to be an idiot to try and debate it.
But I don't know.
It's not just that, bro.
It's just like, yo, like you guys are like, see, this is the other thing too that people need to understand, bro.
Like, going to a college campus and debating college students, right, is not the same as debating a sorry ass fucking influencer.
That sucks, that's trying to do it.
Like, I get no benefit from that.
Going on a college campus and doing debates is significantly different, and that's actual real content versus like, and I debate a multitude of different topics, by the way, when I'm on a college campus.
It's not just Israel, bro.
Like, that's maybe one fifth of what I debate when I'm on college campuses.
Like, that's because surprisingly, a lot of college students are like anti Israel, by the way.
So, like, going and talking about Israel on college campuses isn't the main thing, but like, debating like some fucking wannabe guy that's like a cloud chasing loser.
Like, there's no benefit to that.
And that is going backwards.
It absolutely is.
And you're just a fucking retard for it.
If you can't see how that's going backwards and how it's not the same as debating on a college campus, I can't help you.
You're fucking stupid.
And I really hate stupid people.
You're just that dumb.
And I'll give you a little bit of charitability.
Maybe you don't understand because you're not a creator.
So you don't get it.
But there's levels to this shit, bro.
You can't just be sitting around debating every fucking moron on the internet that has a YouTube channel that wants to debate you.
Like, you water down your own brand, you water down yourself.
Like, that implies equality.
This guy's a fucking nobody, bro.
Like, what's wrong with you?
Like, what do I get for spanking him?
What do I get for spanking him, by the way?
What would I get?
I get nothing.
If I demolish him, there's nothing to be gained at all.
So shut the fuck up.
Like, you didn't build up a platform to be able to be in a position to even make that stupid ass statement.
It's so fucking annoying.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, Fitz Shapiro, it's a different conversation, right?
Like, that's worth it.
But for somebody who's not following, yeah, what the fuck do I look like debating Dinesh Souza on this topic?
Cook him and then go backwards and debate some retarded nigga that sits in his room with an Israel flag.
Like, what is that gonna do for me?
Absolutely nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Right?
So, like, yeah, I have no problem with debating people on the topic, but it's like, bro, they gotta be worthy.
Like, this nigga's gonna get all the benefit.
I get nothing, even when I smoke him.
Nothing.
So shut the fuck up, dude.
I hate stupid people.
Like, this nigga's so retarded.
J. Lou goes with the five gifted.
Thank you so much, man.
Appreciate you.
Louis says, appreciate you and your bro for the realest commentary on jail politics, man.
You've red pilled me and a whole lot of other people, even though you shadow banned me.
On kick, I still support you.
Yeah, you probably said some stupid shit, bro.
Be honest with you.
If you got shadow banned on kick, then you probably said some dumb shit.
Literally, Fiora, appreciate you.
And then 49 Ohio for gas.
And like, you guys should know this already.
Like, I have a very low time for stupid people.
Like, I really, really dislike stupid people.
So, like, the guy that made that comment before, like, you're literally retarded.
And like, I hate dumb people, dude.
It's literally the most annoying thing ever.
So, anything you got, Riyad, on your end?
I have the CNN debate, which will be funny.
Okay.
Here, I could pull it up.
What do I search on YouTube for it?
Literally just type in Scott Jennings and it should be one of the first results.
Scott Jennings?
Okay.
Yeah, you'll see CNN's video.
Yo, by the way, 60 Minutes cooked me the other day with copyright, man.
Did they?
Yeah, they're bad.
They're bad, bro.
They're bad.
They're bad.
It's the third one down, I believe, if I'm not mistaken.
Dislike Stupid People00:06:49
It's titled.
Yeah, and this Adam Mako guy is a lib retard as well.
So we were supposed to do a debate with him and.
It was him and.
I forget who his partner was supposed to be, but they backed out.
You told me about this.
I forgot about it.
I forgot.
Against me and Andrew Wilson and they backed out last minute.
And I was like, all right, bro.
Like.
Whatever.
And guys, like the video on YouTube for me, please.
Okay, so I got this video here.
This is a 60 day thing.
We can skim through this real quick, and then we can go to the other one.
We're not going to watch this whole thing.
And again, oh shit.
Vada Falls, thank you for the gifted sub, by the way.
I see you for that.
Vada Falls, and then also you got a couple kicks here.
We got one from RageQuest said, RIP Riyadh's knee.
Yeah, he got cooked.
And then Vata Falls says, Mike, keep doing what you do, Brahmin Law Enforcement.
I really enjoy your coverage on criminal cases.
I appreciate that, Vata Falls.
I'm glad that you like the content, man.
I'll be covering some of the criminal stuff here in a little bit after me and my brother do the geopolitical stuff.
Since the start of the U.S. operation against Iran, that is Operation Epic Fury, that means a 1973 War Powers Law would require congressional approval to continue past that deadline.
Many Republicans maintain they will default to President Trump to determine what's next for the war.
Senator Susan Collins of Maine has broken with those Republicans.
Voting in favor of a War Powers resolution, she wrote on X in part As I have said since these hostilities with Iran began, the President's authority as Commander in Chief is not without limits.
The Constitution gives Congress an essential role in decisions of war and peace, and the War Powers Act establishes a clear 60 day deadline for Congress to either authorize or end U.S. involvement in foreign hostilities.
That deadline is not a suggestion, it is a requirement.
However, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth argued before a Senate committee that.
Go ahead.
Myron, let's take a look at this.
This was the part of the interview on the White House lawn that I wanted to get to.
Okay.
So, this is what he said about CENTCOM's suggestion to him very quickly.
I'm in here yesterday with debriefing you on a different approach, options.
What kind of options?
How would it look different?
I mean, do we want to go and just blast the hell out of him and finish him forever, or do we want to try and make a deal?
I mean, those are the options.
Do you want to go blast the hell out of him?
I prefer not.
On a human basis, I prefer not, but that's the option.
Do we want to go in there heavy and just blast them away?
Or do we want to do something?
They're a very disjointed ownership, as you can understand, Peter.
Very disjointed.
I mean, they.
So that's all I wanted to show.
So apparently, Sentinel is suggesting that.
Who knows if that's true, but I thought that that was important to note.
Yeah.
We can put up the Fox video again.
That war.
So the question I would ask to you and to others is what is the cost of a nuclear-armed Iran?
Yeah, I accept.
Got baked, by the way.
I accept.
I've been baked for a while.
I've been to this shit for hours.
It's wild.
See, that's the talking point they're always going to use, bro.
The nuclear bomb shit.
All right, those were some of the remarks yesterday.
They definitely are not going to attack.
Bro, they told us, when we bombed them, they literally struck back and told us.
Hours before, hey, we're going to strike you on this day at this time with this many missiles at this base.
Like, what?
Like, bro.
News of this hour as we continue to follow everything related to the operation.
Now, while the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran remains in effect, Iran maintains its chokehold on the strait.
This live look provided there by marine traffic and a lot of questions, of course.
Good morning to you.
Good morning.
Well, first off, I want to start by talking about this situation here with the Strait of Hormuz, a topic of discussion that you.
All right, let's go.
This, I also saw this right here as well, which I thought was interesting.
If Iran's military is depleted, how is it damaging so many U.S. bases?
Bro, it took them months to figure this out.
Now they're finally coming out and admitting what we've been saying for months.
Yo, they decimated the U.S. bases, dude.
They destroyed them.
13 of them.
Non operational.
And hang on, really quickly, Myron.
Who's that from, that video?
Which one?
CNN.
Yeah, CNN.
The previous one that you were just watching, Fox.
However, Fox has not been that bad.
And this is the low that reality has now stooped to.
The Democrats and everybody on the left are right about this war.
And so all the accurate reporting that I'm seeing is from these outlets.
It's like they're the only ones saying the right thing, which is painful.
It's painful, dude.
It sucks.
But this harps on to the point that I've been making the last few streams.
Can the right finally be honest with itself?
It's so frustrating.
You know, Alex Jones has said this war is stupid.
Alex Jones says Trump is making a bad decision.
And it doesn't mean you're a Trump hater, it doesn't mean you're a bleeding heart liberal.
It's just, hey, condemn this war.
I was saying the other day, a lot of the MAGA base is like, I don't want to condemn Trump because I don't want them to group me with the left.
How dumb are you?
That does not mean you're to the left.
That does not mean you have to condemn this action.
You have to say that MAGA is making a mistake.
Now, if they're paid, whatever.
They're never going to actually switch.
And they don't want to lose access.
A lot of it, Riyadh, is like they don't want to lose the White House.
Yeah.
They don't want to lose access to the White House.
They don't want to lose getting it being.
Because there's like an in crowd, then there's an out crowd.
If you criticize the president, you immediately get put in an out crowd and then you're not invited to certain things.
And people don't want to lose that access.
Not even those people is who I'm referring to.
They're a lost cause.
I get that.
That's fine.
I'm talking about all of the commentators as well in between.
I don't want to name so many people and start problems or drama, but there are so many people who are still commentating on this war and saying the wrong things.
And it's like.
Dude, just give it up.
You know, just give it up.
It's over.
This is a sinking ship, and you are destroying your credibility long term.
People are going to look back in four or five years.
And by the way, hindsight is 2020.
If this war seems bad now, it's going to seem even worse in like 10 or 20 years.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Look at how bad Iraq looks now.
This is going to look worse.
So anybody that was voicing support for it and not condemning it is going to genuinely lose credibility as the long term process effectuates.
And that's what I've been saying.
It's like, just give it up.
Just give it up.
Bite the bullet.
Obviously, these people who have vested interests who are a part of MAGA, even Patrick Ben David with the hotel situation, whatever.
But there's just so many people that got to give it up.
Dinesh D'Souza is another one.
However, I don't know if he's got access to, you know, some exclusive features of the MAGA base or whatever.
But it's just like, come on.
Yeah, he's not going to be the guy.
So he's not going to be the guy.
Like, and a lot of these guys, like I said, they don't want to lose access to the president or whatever.
So, destruction.
A CNN investigation discovering Iran has caused extensive damage to him.
Military Supply Shortages00:18:12
Yo, it's so crazy.
It took them months to figure this out, bro.
I've been telling y'all for.
Yeah, we're three months early, two months early, chat.
Like, we told y'all, yo, these bases are fucked up.
And everyone's like, that's a lie.
You guys are IRGC.
You guys are IRGC propagandists.
It's like, no, bro, they destroyed these places, dude.
We've been told y'all, man.
Majority of it.
Like, and this is what I'm trying to tell you there's no way.
I would be shocked if we were able to still maintain any type of presence in the Middle East after this, bro.
The bases are cooked.
Are they going to let us rebuild them?
Probably not.
And then those bases are the reason why they got cooked.
So it's like, we serve no benefit.
And I think the UAE leaving OPEC, which is basically like kind of US controlled, to be honest with you.
It's a sign of them trying to diversify and get out of the energy market with oil, man.
Like UAE wants to diversify and get into tourism and AI and make money in other ways versus being dependent upon oil.
Saudi Arabia is trying to do the same thing.
A lot of these countries aren't trying to be dependent on oil like that.
And, you know, and guess what that does?
That weakens the petrodollar.
So who does that hurt?
The United States.
We're still very, very gas dependent, chat.
Even though we make our own gas, right?
We make a lot of gas.
Think about it.
Why is it that the volatility in the region still spikes our gas prices up so much?
Because we are heavily reliant upon gas.
Something like 50%.
I was talking with Cyrus Jensen about this the other day on China.
Very eye opening interview.
Like 50 to 60% of their cars are electric.
They're better than Teslas.
And they're better than Teslas.
So it's like, dude, are we going to be weakening China?
They're going to be weakening China.
By the way, they're going to call us communists now.
Yeah, they are, bro.
They're about to because we're telling the truth on this stuff.
And it's like, dude, we want the best for this country and we got to tell y'all what it is.
Bro, China's a real threat.
This war is not hurting them as much as people are trying to tell you it's going to hurt them.
The goal of this war was to hurt China and get rid of their cheap oil from Venezuela and Iran.
They got it from Venezuela, but now we're stuck in a fucking political quagmire.
So, you know, we actually ended up strengthening that.
Oh, he was just there?
My buddy just went to China.
Yeah, he went to China because he has a construction business and whatever.
And so he can outsource some cheap products there or whatever.
And he had to go to like this convention, but he was there for about 10 days and he told me, you know, I'm not going to go through all the details, but he told me pretty much in short, hey, Riyadh, This country is ahead.
It's not even a joke.
They are ahead.
And it's a matter of time until they're even with the United States.
It's just the military aspect that's missing.
And I have all these things he was explaining to me about how everything is a one stop shop.
They've got like an app for everything like, you know, anything you can think of, you can do it with, you know, the tap of a button.
And everything is so clean and controlled.
And the technology is nuts.
And of course, the US is the best country in the world because it has Seoul.
It's so much better than Europe.
But it's just the fact that technologically, China is so sound.
It is a little bit frightening, you know, and it's advanced quickly.
It was not like that 20 years ago.
So, Army vet 43, thank you for the gift of sub, bro.
Appreciate you.
Military sites in the region precise Iranian missile and drone strikes, aided by sophisticated Chinese technology, hitting some of America's most crucial military assets in the Middle East.
The extent of the damage unknown until now.
Our Tamara Kablawi is out front.
Camp Buring, Kuwait.
American soldiers enjoying a karaoke night.
At one of the biggest U.S. military hubs in the Gulf.
That was then.
This is now.
A once bustling American micro city in the desert, nearly empty and heavily damaged after a weeks long barrage of Iranian missiles and drones.
One of many U.S. military facilities in the oil rich Arabian Peninsula, targeted by Iran, even as the U.S. and Israel pummeled the.
And this is the same base, by the way, guys, that got bombed by an Iranian fighter jet, FYI.
Same base.
Islamic Republic.
Camp Buring in Kuwait.
Republic's large arsenal.
So, what impact have Iran's strikes had on America's footprint in the Middle East?
A CNN investigation found evidence of unprecedented destruction.
We can reveal that strikes damaged at least 16 U.S. installations across eight countries.
According to our analysis and sourcing, that's the majority of American military positions in the region.
And some of them are virtually unusable now.
A U.S. source familiar with the situation told us that they'd never seen anything like this at American bases, that these were rapid, targeted strikes using advanced technology.
Iran's main targets?
Multi million dollar aircraft like this Boeing E3 Sentry, which gave the US a huge amount of visibility over the Gulf.
It's out of production.
Yeah.
And this plane, by the way, guys, has a big ass radar on it.
Okay.
So obviously, yeah, it has like a big ass radar on it.
So that would be used a lot of the times when jets are running operations to kind of identify what else is out there.
It scans for everything, literally.
It's a huge asset to the Air Force and they don't make them anymore.
So this was a big damage for us, man.
Very bad.
And in today's money, it's worth nearly half a billion dollars.
Critical communications equipment.
Look at these giant golf balls.
They're known as radomes, and they protect satellite dishes vital for data transmission.
In this space alone, Iran destroyed all but one of the radomes less than a month into the war.
Yeah, bro.
Like, they were really fucking our shit up, man, that first month.
And crucially, radar systems.
Highly sophisticated, expensive, difficult to replace, and critical to air defense.
A second U.S. source, this one a congressional aide familiar with damage assessments, described these as the most cost effective of the targets.
Our radar systems, they said, are our most expensive and our most limited resource in the region.
For U.S. allies in the region, there's a dilemma.
In some ways, Iran's show of force makes the U.S.'s presence in the region even more necessary to Gulf security.
But there's a new reality here, which is that U.S. military installations, previously seen as formidable fortresses, have turned into Sitting targets, as a Saudi source told me, the war has shown Saudi Arabia that's the U.S.'s longest standing Arab ally that the alliance with the U.S. cannot be exclusive and it is not, in their words, impregnable.
To get a sense of just how vulnerable U.S. is definitely something you would not have heard even five years ago, yeah.
And I know we live in a multipolar world, but the Middle East is something we need, we need to be in the Middle East, yeah.
Um.
Myron, my interview is 8.8k views.
Good, Matt.
Congratulations.
I'm glad that the people like it.
Waylo.
Where are you in Riyadh getting your info about the base being destroyed?
Just came from Al Udad Air Base and it's running pretty normal.
And CNN is accurate.
I've been to that base in Kuwait, it's the size of a small city.
Well, here's the thing.
He said he just came from Al Udad Air Base and it's running pretty normal.
In Qatar?
Interesting.
Yeah, that's what he's trying to say.
That's what he's trying to say.
Facilities have become.
Have a look at this.
It's the war room at Qatar's El Aded Air Base.
Oh, interesting.
The theater command and control hub for U.S. air power across 21 nations struck not just once, but twice.
And according to a U.S. source, causing significant damage.
The base had been largely evacuated.
And here's the thing, too they also said that it was uninhabitable.
So, just because it's running like normal, bro, they're keeping you away from all the places that are damaged to the max.
You know what I mean?
Like, they're not going to show you the extent of the damage.
Also, keep in mind, bro, when you're like in the military or when you're in the government, you have what's called a need to know.
Okay.
So, if you don't have a need to know about what was destroyed or what wasn't destroyed, you're not going to know.
And they're not going to show you.
So, bro, do you get paid your 7,000 or what?
What's going on here?
Something's off.
Bro got that 7,000, got the 7,000 shekels, man.
And Meyer, actually, the Al Udayed base is running just fine.
Like, that was the first target.
I just came from, he's saying, yeah, he said, I just came from Al Udayed Air Base and it's running pretty normal.
CNN's accurate.
I've been to that base in Kuwait.
It's the size of a small city.
Okay, buddy.
Okay.
We believe you.
We believe you that the base is just fine and nothing happened, even though multiple organizations, and it wasn't just CNN, by the way, a couple of different organizations have come out and said that basically they're uninhabitable and they're pretty much destroyed.
It just took them months to finally say that stuff.
And no casualties were reported.
Iran's visibility over its targets has never been clearer.
In 2024.
Yeah, and I mean, it's close by, dude.
Like, yo, they don't even have time.
Guys, if Iran shoots rockets and drones at, you know, these Gulf states, they barely have time to respond.
You guys not understand that, like, response time is, like, the biggest thing when it comes to air defense.
Like, you need response time to be able to properly, like, identify, assess, and then shoot a rocket that will, you know, intercept it.
They don't have time like that, dude.
Like, they don't have time.
They're literally, like, here, let me show these guys because a lot of these guys don't know, like, and they're running low on the missile interceptor systems as well.
And Qatar, where the Al Udeid base is located, just bought $4 billion worth of more defense missiles, which is how you know they were running very low, which is why Iranian missiles were actually penetrating the airspace.
And it's a short distance, right across the Persian Gulf.
Iran has ballistic missiles.
They're fast.
Like, dude, we're talking about just a little waterway separating them, dude.
Like, these are, this is like nothing for them to destroy these places.
So, this is easy.
And then now, a lot of their interceptors are cooked.
So, Anyway, to the Financial Times, Tehran secretly acquired a Chinese satellite known as the TEE 01B.
This is true.
And a big reason why they got this was so that they don't have to worry about GPS.
So during the 12 day war chat, they were using GPS and using other American technologies, which America was able and the Israelis were able to hack into and just hurt their ability to defend themselves during a 12 day war.
So after the 12 day war, Iran gutted all their GPS based stuff, anything that was American based, and they switched over to completely Chinese.
So that's also something important to realize, which obviously these Chinese satellites are pretty damn accurate because they're obviously spying on the US, an adversary.
A massive upgrade from Vada Falls.
Thank you so much for the 10 gifted.
But yeah, this dude, Big, whatever your name is, I'll just be honest with you, bro.
Like, they're not going to tell you what it is because you're probably a lower level guy in the military.
Sorry, dude.
It's all need to know, and they're not going to show you the extent of the damage.
I'm right.
I was fishing with my friends the other day, and they all drink.
I've been sober for over a year, and man, it's annoying.
Being around drunk people.
Yeah, I know.
Now you know why I don't do it.
Young Dolph, I seen a poll on X yesterday that Iran stated they will be doing the toll transactions in the real to be more self sufficient and bring value back to the real and economy.
Yeah, yeah, they are going to do that.
It's been passed by their parliament, dude.
It's law now.
There's no way they're letting it.
The Shredder Hummus is always going to be a toll based system from now on.
And we are of ourselves to blame for that one.
Satellites.
That means that Tehran went from looking at images of this quality to this.
This is the first time America has fought an adversary with.
Satellites that capture high res imagery almost as detailed as its own.
As the scale of the damage comes into focus, many will wonder whether America's presence, once a protective shield in the Middle East, has turned into its Achilles heel.
It is the Achilles heel.
That's literally what it is now.
It was there to protect, but it can't even do that.
Responding to our findings, a Pentagon official said that the Defense Department does not discuss damage assessments, but that U.S. forces remain fully.
Operational, they're not going to confirm or deny anything, and they're going to obviously not tell you about casualties as well.
There's way more than 13 soldiers dead.
If you think there's only 13 U.S. casualties, you're a smooth brain moron.
Vata Falls, thank you again for the 10 gifted, bro.
Thank you so much.
Real G in the chat, man.
For all you guys that are brokeies in the chat, say W Vata Falls, man.
Maybe he'll give you guys a sub.
Oh, and then also, let me read this real quick.
Sorry, guys.
We got Jay Broco with the 20 bucks says W Myron.
Appreciate you, my friend.
And guys, if you donate on MyronGainsX.com, that website, that's where that goes to the college fund.
That goes into, you know, paying for the security and everything else like that.
They're trying to charge me 20K, man.
These guys are losers.
Marley says, Myron is the realest ninja out there.
Appreciate you.
And then Marley, 271K with the 216.
Appreciate you, my friend.
The same right here as combat effectiveness.
And this is a good point, actually.
Zeno says China's quality of food, quality of living, advancement in technology, as well as having a better education system and significantly less degeneracy than the West puts it on track to inevitably surpass us in the next decade.
And unfortunately, unless we get an extreme change in leadership, that's likely the case.
And so it's scary.
Yeah, they're graduating more engineers and technicians.
Like they're just, they're graduating way more people in STEM than we are.
And they have manpower, low cost labor.
They can produce things way better than we can.
Now, with that said, they do have problems, right?
Their economy has some issues when it comes to real estate and some other things.
But in general, man, they are closing the gap between us and them very quickly, right?
What are our teenagers doing?
Watching TikTok, becoming stupider.
You know, what are their teenagers doing?
Becoming engineers, getting into STEM.
You know?
And this is like just an IQ pill, man.
Chinese people are smart as fuck.
They are.
Like, they're just super.
That's just what it is, you know?
So.
They are, dude.
And that's a big red pill for a lot of people.
We also understand from our sources that the vast majority of U.S. troops evacuated their positions in the Middle East, with many working from the relative safety of hotels and apartments in the Arabian Peninsula.
What stands out to you about all this?
Now, this is also important, too, for the guy that said that, oh, I checked the LU dead bases, not whatever.
Bro, that's why they had to move guys out and put them in hotels.
And then that's why Iran kept people saying, why is Iran striking civilian locations?
Well, they were striking hotels because they knew that.
Certain people from the intelligence components and from the military were getting hotels in certain places because they had to work there.
They couldn't work in the base anymore.
That's why they were shooting drones at certain hotels.
So that's also something else.
Someone has a link here with Iran.
Apparently, they destroyed some weather things that we were involved in.
So.
Well, Aaron, what's interesting is that.
Go ahead.
What was that?
No, no, no.
I was just adding to what you said.
I was just thanking somebody for a super chat.
It's obvious that they were not actually targeting civilians, right?
Like, how stupid or dense would you have to be targeting random Gulf civilians?
No, they were obviously aiming for assets belonging to intelligence of the United States or Israel that were likely located in the region and the areas that they attacked.
And obviously, the United States and Israel is not going to admit whether they were successful in targeting these people.
Yeah.
The U.S. intercept rate is likely somewhere in the 95% level right now.
These look predominantly like drone strikes.
That's our assessment, the Shahids that did this rather than Iranian ballistic missiles.
But it does show if the intercept rate is somewhere around the 95% level, that 5% or so are getting through and they are having damage.
So the system that the U.S. has in place is not foolproof.
It's very good, but it's not foolproof.
I would just say, sort of, big picture of your shift to the Indo Pacific with a PLA, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Force, U.S. bases across the region, Japan, Philippines, and other places are going to be at much more severe danger than what we're seeing now in the Middle East.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then when you talk about the damage done by the drones, right, that the missile interceptor rate may be exceptional 5% can cause huge damage, but then there's the drones.
You have done incredible reporting, you and all of CSIS, on the depletion.
Of U.S. offensive capabilities, missile inventories specifically as well.
Trump was asked about that earlier today.
Seth, I wanted to play part of what he said.
All over the world, we have inventory, and we can take that if we need it.
But all over the world, we have tremendous amounts of inventory, the best.
For instance, we're stocked and locked and loaded.
Right now, we have more than double what we had when this started.
More than double what we had when this started, and tremendous amounts of inventory.
What do you even make of such comments?
Obviously, false when it comes to things like Tomahawks, but what do you make overall?
Well, I think what's important is that not all missiles are created equal.
I mean, one of the advantages the U.S. had over time in Iran was that it had air dominance.
It could use short range missiles like Joint Direct Attack Munitions or JDAMs.
The problem that the U.S. has in the Pacific right now is it's going to have to use long range missiles because the Chinese have such extensive capabilities to hit targets.
In what we call the first and second island chains, like out to Guam.
And there, the U.S. stockpiles of long range munitions, like Tomahawks, like JASMs, like long range anti ship missiles, L RASMs, they are in very limited supply right now.
And the same thing with interceptors.
Missile Deterrence Needs00:14:38
So, what really matters in this discussion is not missiles per se.
It's not helpful to talk about missiles in general, it's the missiles you need to deter in specific.
Yo, this Evan 1904 guy in the fucking OSS chat, bro, like, yo, you're literally on the verge of getting kicked out, bro.
Like, keep fucking talking, dude.
You're literally on the verge of getting kicked out of the community.
Keep being a fucking dumbass.
Situations.
Which I think is just so crucial.
And what you lay out there is so important.
And it's important for Americans to understand all of this and the truth.
Obviously, you know, what he said there is at best extremely misleading about something so important for national security.
He also talked today, Seth, about something about Iran, right?
What does Iran really have left?
Okay, the military.
And he was very specific.
Here he is.
We get the radical left to say, We're not winning.
We're not winning.
They don't have any military left.
It's unbelievable.
It's actually, I believe it's treasonous.
Okay, you want to know that it's treasonous?
And he said that Iran is, they've got nothing left.
Okay.
You've looked specifically at that, and you've found that Iran does still have a lot left when you look at drones, you look at missile launchers.
And, real quick, I've also read.
And they've rebuilt a lot of the stuff, man.
Go ahead.
They rebuilt and they're digging through rubble to uncover a lot of their missiles that Israel and the United States intentionally tried to cover up with strikes in the beginning of the war.
They're currently in the process of digging that out as well.
So.
They still got a good stockpile left and they still got a whole other round in them.
Of course, it's going to be way worse for them than it is for us at home, but we can't say the same for our Gulf allies.
No question, first of all, that Iran has its capabilities across the boards are degraded.
The video you showed of U.S. bases, what the extent of the damage in Iran is much more significant than what U.S. bases have received.
Nevertheless, despite that damage, the Iranians have hid stuff underground.
So, they still have 40% or so, our assessment of their drone capabilities left, and then maybe 60% or so of their missile launchers.
So, they do still have the capability to fire missiles and drones, and that makes them still a dangerous adversary.
And as you just noted in your reporting, they're getting help from the Chinese and I would add the Russians as well.
All right.
Seth Jones, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
Thanks.
So, here's something else I have.
Let me see if I can pull it up here.
Real quick, I'll show you guys this.
All right, look at this.
Are you dead air based power plant, right?
Because I got a guy in my chat here.
He says, If you've never been there and I have, how would you know more than me?
The chilies was still open.
Okay, fat ass nigga.
Of course you're going to say the chilies is open.
Here's the thing look, are you dead air based power plant?
Just because you're fat ass labeled to get into the chilies doesn't mean that the base wasn't still fucking destroyed to some degree, bro.
See, this is right here.
Look at this.
And this is a power plant.
This is something that's actually very important.
This nigga over here talking about the chilies was open.
What the fuck?
Like, that matters.
Like, what?
Yeah, and obviously, if they're going to get a retarded, bro, strike the base, they're going to hit the part of the base that can't afford to be struck.
Like, bro, you think they're going to target the chilies, you stupid nigga?
Like, yo, what the fuck?
This nigga really said, hey, yo, it's still functioning because the chilies was open.
The chilies are still open.
The chilies are still open.
I was able to get some chilies.
So it's okay.
I still fully fucked you, gay.
Like, bro.
And this nigga's name is Big Nigga, man.
Like, yo, clearly you're a fucking idiot, bro.
Like, hello, monkey.
Nigga retarded.
Bro, really said, how'd you know more than me?
The chilies was still open.
That's your barometer of the place still being controlled.
Iran is going to aim for the chilies.
Like, Iran is in the war room and they're like, all right, we're going to aim for the chilies.
No, they're going to aim for the fucking power plant, the part that's critical for the operation of the base, you dumbass.
That's why it was evacuated before the war started because the United States knew that would happen.
Actually, it's operational.
This nigga retarded, bro.
And you better bet your ass if we strike Iran again and we're going to strike hard, that base is really going to get hit.
Yo.
There won't be no chilies anymore, nigga.
If Donald Trump listens to Central Command like he was saying on the White House lawn, ain't going to be no more chilies.
Yo.
Nigga really came in here and said, Yo, the base is still normal.
The chilies is open.
Like, what the fuck?
Stupid ass nigga, bro.
Yo.
Half a chili's there?
That's crazy.
This dude trolling?
Like, no way.
Yeah.
All right.
Tonalop says here's my tribute.
Jarhead says KIA, oh, 2,200 IDF killed in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah, 2,093 wounded in action.
They don't know.
But yeah, crazy, dude.
Roughly 2,200 IDF killed in action.
Okay, only hardcore says sorry if you went over it already, but what do you think about the high definition video of the White House correspondence dinner showing the guard dog alert the shooter in the room and then immediately bolts out?
I did not see that footage.
Extortion Gaming.
This is a video that explains how Iran is destroying weather modification machines built by the U.S., and now their dams are overflowing.
I did hear about that.
Red Pill Winner.
Hey, just wanted to tell you that I ditched one of my women because she wanted to go play poker in a basement.
You two are the most base brothers I know.
She wants to play poker in a basement?
What the fuck?
You dating a man.
What?
What the fuck?
That's the worst endeavor I've ever heard.
You know what she was going to do?
She's probably going to be a waitress or a cocktail waitress for one of these poker games.
There's a lot of illegal poker games where girls will serve at them.
That's probably what she wanted.
Yeah, a girl playing poker in some basement.
That is like a 45 year old dad activity.
This retard in here says, When was the last time you were there?
How big is the base?
Then he goes, I'm a Marine combat veteran.
You haven't done shit.
Bro, you're a chili eater veteran, bro.
You're a combat veteran.
And I ate that chili.
Yeah, this nigga over here saying, like, I'm a Marine combat veteran, you haven't done shit.
He goes, That's for rage.
When's the last time you were there?
How big is the base?
Nigga, you're retarded.
You literally used the fact that Chili's was open as a barometer if the base was hit.
Like, you're fucking retarded, nigga.
You said, I'm a combat veteran.
No, you're fucking chili veteran, clearly.
Because the nigga went right to chili's and used that to justify.
The base is open.
I didn't have chili's.
Stupid ass nigga.
All right, buddy.
Nigga was like, hoorah.
Chili's open.
Let's go.
Fucking retarded ass nigga, bro.
I don't know if that's even real.
Stupid ass nigga, bro.
Retarded as fuck.
Endless trolling.
Does chili take EBT Myron?
Clearly, because this dumb ass nigga was there.
Oh, man.
Yo, nigga really used the fact that chili was open as the reason as to how to justify him being that it was fine.
Oh, man.
Chili sounds good right now, man.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah.
Well, okay.
What's the next thing?
Did you have something you want to show?
I had to see that thing.
I had Trump on the White House lawn.
I was also going to go over the fact that he was a little bit.
Oh, the debate.
You wanted the debate, right?
You wanted the debate, right?
Yeah, and then we could cover it tomorrow, to be honest.
It's not the biggest news, but Israel intercepted an aid ship en route to Gaza off the coast of Greece and subdued or really held, I think, 175 people.
And Zorhan Mamdani actually tweeted about it on X, but I have a video here by ABC Australia.
Funny enough, this made like no mainstream news, unsurprisingly, but literally, I could not find this story anywhere, like good coverage on it.
But, you know, it's kind of obvious it highlights Israel's greater plan.
They won't even allow food or aid.
And then Benjamin Netanyahu on eggs said, Well, you know, the ship was there to support Hamas.
Like, okay.
So we could talk about that.
But let's do the debate first.
All right.
Oh, hold on.
Who's enforcing international law?
Who is the aggressor here?
Us.
We are the aggressor.
Can you name a single political concession we've gotten from them?
Anything at all?
What are you talking about?
Any political concession?
Because you can't name one.
So here's what we're doing.
No political concession.
When you get up past your bedtime, you get hyper.
Here's the deal.
We are you can call piracy in like a if words don't have any meaning, but like we have sanctions against these vessels, yeah.
I'll tell you this when it comes to like uh progressives, uh, in social media, they're dominated by soy boys like uh Mockler, Luke Beasley, Dean Withers, like just completely dominated by these uh strange individuals that can't grow facial hair.
Lose your cool like that on air is yeah, well, his hand wasn't even in his face, but.
Yeah, I'm Abby Phillips in New York.
Tonight, a new question.
Just how popular is this war with Iran?
President Trump says that the war with Iran could take days at first if he wanted to, but then he said it would be weeks.
And now he says that now that it's carried into its third month, despite higher gas prices at home.
This stupid ass nigga says, Give us proof then.
Bro, you're the one making the claim.
I just showed you proof of Al Ude being fucked up.
You're the one over here talking about chilies.
This is an open issue.
Dumbass.
Yeah, the burden of proof is upon you and chilies.
Take a selfie from Chili's and send it over to us.
Yeah, nigga, send us a picture of Chili's over there, man, and what you ordered, okay?
I'm pretty hungry.
I'm pretty hungry.
Stupid dude's name is Big.
Well, I'm on YouTube.
I can't say it, but anyway, yeah, bro is retarded.
Nigga literally said, I went to the base and Chili's is open, so that means they weren't destroyed.
Bro, you're the one making a claim.
We're showing you many reputable news sources have said that the base has been destroyed, which they have been, okay?
Nigga said, Oh, it seemed normal when I went there.
Yeah, they're not gonna fucking show you that shit, bro.
You're probably like a E. Eat nothing marine.
Like, dude, like, nigga, you're all, I mean, you're not even raving about chilies.
No way you're high ranking.
And also, way to get hung up on the trivial shit.
Like, I hate people who are so patent like that.
Oh, but the Tillys is still open.
Hey, dumbass, we're in a losing war.
Okay.
Did you miss the bigger point there?
Like, why point out such a petty fact?
I hate hypercritical dumbasses.
Like, one thing is not explained in great detail.
Now it's, but the Tillys, but the Tillys.
Okay.
Can you actually explain what we're trying to tell you here?
Like, what are you hung up on?
So silly.
Yeah.
And then 13 bases in the region.
A lot of them have been destroyed to the point where they're not beneficial anymore.
They've offered no defense.
They're there to defend those countries.
They're there to give them military assets.
That's how we can leverage ourselves in the Middle East.
They no longer have served the purpose that they exist for.
That's bad because when this is over, they're not going to trust the United States again.
That's what we're telling you.
And you're over here hung up on chilies.
This is why I hate people who are hypercritical and paid in.
Like, what are you talking about?
Like, what way to be nitpicky about such a stupid fact?
You're like the brazen aspect we've been trying to harp on for the last six weeks.
Like, this has been two, three months now that this conflict has been going on.
Is the Gulf allies will suffer.
And as a result, the United States will lose influence.
And then at the same time, China's building cars that mog Tesla, taking the Mexican car market out of commission.
And this is what you have to talk about?
Like, we've got bigger fish to fry.
Nigga, you over here talking about chilies, nigga.
Yo, I don't work at chilies.
You know how I know this nigga's a retard?
Yo, you're in the OSS too, bro.
I'm ashamed that you're fucking this stupid and you're in the OSS.
He said, give us proof.
Nigga, you're the one that made the claim.
We showed you our side.
We've been telling you forever that the base has been destroyed.
Now, several reputable media sources.
Have reported that the bases are destroyed.
And then I showed you a video of the power plant being destroyed, which is a critical infrastructure that powers the fucking base, retard.
And then your dumbass wanted to sit here and talk about chilies is open, show me proof.
You're the one making the claim.
We've shown our proof, retard.
That's how I know you're an idiot.
Like nigga literally came in here and said, show us proof.
Nigga, you're the one that made the claim.
We showed you our proof, so show yours, dumb fuck.
Show us the chilies.
Unbelievable.
Show us the chilies, idiot.
Fucking dumbass.
Like this, I can tell you're a retard.
The fact that you use chilies as proof just tells me that you're an idiot.
You know?
Holy shit, no critical thinking skills whatsoever, stupid nigga, bro.
When plummeting polls at home as well, Pete Henseth is saying that America is right behind the president.
When I talk to Americans, and especially when I talk to the troops, they are grateful for a president who has the courage to take on this threat after 47 years of what Iran has done targeting and killing Americans.
What I'm concerned about is this is just like good.
I gotta say this this is such an opportunity.
No, Israel is grateful that Trump was the first president dumb enough to actually start a regional mess with Iran.
That's what.
The real thing is there.
No one's thankful for Trump starting this war.
And then here we go.
He says, It's funny because that power plant went down in 2011 there on Qatar's grid.
All right, nigga.
Now I just know you're a retard, dude.
Now I know you're just a fucking retard.
I show you the video and then this dude talking about some other shit.
You're stupid, dude.
Dude is literally a retard.
I hate stupid people, bro.
They are not safer.
And I would just like to know why you have not sought the support of the American.
Nigga, so retarded, bro.
Show him fucking clear cut evidence.
Of the base getting bombed and damaged, and then they go on to talk about the power plant went down in 20.
What?
Shut the fuck up, dude.
You're so stupid.
American people, and three out of five Americans are against this war today.
I believe we do have the support of the American people, and we have briefed regularly what this mission looks like and why it's critically important that we undertake it.
You don't care when the American people and their American people are quite smart.
Medical Career Advice00:04:43
They understand and see through spin.
They know that a.
Vada Falls, thank you for the 10 gifted, bro.
Appreciate you greatly, man.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm not going to be able to do that.
With 40% APR.
And then these niggas are cooking them.
Mr. Dreamy said, nigga said chili's open.
The thads are working.
Yo, niggas are cooking them in the chat, bro.
Nigga said a Camaro with 40% APR is fucking hilarious.
Probably, yo, it probably does have a Camaro.
Yo, yo.
That is some military nigga shit, though.
Military niggas always buy some American muscle car with an insane APR rate, and they're paying it off for 50 years in negative equity.
That is actually like the case.
Like, they get that big check from the military at the end and they come back and buy a Hellcat and they're paying it off until they die.
Like, that is actually the case many, many times.
That's like the meme.
It's like a nigga joined the army, they get a Dodge SRT, come back.
Like, that is a part of the meme.
Yo, I'm not going to lie, bro.
Your choice of car is a litmus test, bro.
You buy an American muscle, man.
You either know Walmart cars or you're a fucking American muscle, nigga.
Let me know what you see.
Nigga, nobody's talking about that, you dumbass.
Like, he's over here talking about, look, next time you go to Qatar, let me know what you see.
This nigga retarded, bro.
Country's not in danger.
We never said that.
This nigga retarded, bro.
I should have known from the Chili's comment to show me the proof to when we already showed the proof to him not showing any of his proof.
This nigga's retarded, bro.
This is only saying he's a good veteran.
Who knows what the United States is hiding?
By the way, from you as well, because you're obviously not a porn.
They want to keep him around hiding.
They know you're not going to get good intel.
They're going to give.
They're going to give your fat ass the chilies, bro.
Like, of course, they don't want morale to be low.
So, the first thing they're going to do is open up the chilies, dummy.
Did the base get destroyed?
No, here's some chilies.
Shut up.
That's literally what it was with you.
Get that nigga chilies, and then he'll put his down payment on his Camaro.
Yo, we're cooking this, dude.
Hold on.
I got a chat here.
Shady, thank you so much for the 20, my friend.
He says, We're in a time where these imbeciles like Vance and Hegseth make me miss war criminals like Cheney and Remsfeld.
You can tell the quality has gone downhill.
It's like living in a shitty TV show.
Yo, that's actually kind of true.
They're doing a way worse thing.
And look, it's because they're telepathing what they're doing.
We had the Iraq war as a prior mistake.
And so we know what we're doing now is detrimental to our future.
You know, so that's why Rumsfeld and Cheney kind of looked a little bit smarter because this war on terror thing was fresh.
Osama was really like a bad ass nigga.
Like he was bad as fuck.
That was a very bad guy.
It was an evil villain.
So he was the perfect person to put against the United States or pit against the United States as like this villain we must defeat.
And To the credit of the United States, he was.
He was evil.
And so we had to take him out of commission.
So they had so much more bragging rights.
The IRGC doesn't really like have that, right?
They never really attacked the United States.
There was no 9 11.
There was no like crazy war on terror thing.
The bombings in the 90s, there wasn't any of that, you know, whereas now, or there was a ton of that in 2001, whereas now we don't have any of that.
So yeah, Hegseth and Rubio and Vance and Trump, they really look a lot dumber than the previous Bush administration looked.
Because at least it was bought by the populace, and at least it was not something that we had made a mistake on before.
And this is what they say now.
They say, let's not overcorrect the issue of the Iraq war.
No, no, no.
Let's actually overcorrect it because regime change in the Middle East has proven to be unsuccessful for years.
It's never worked, especially from the air.
Look at what we've done to every single country.
So it's not that I'm a non interventionist, but certainly in the Middle East, I would say I'm a non interventionist because it's done nothing.
And look, if we're getting involved in the Middle East, what's the real purpose?
What's the greater idea there?
It's typically just to support Israel and bolster their defense, right?
And keep countries at bay from actually attacking them.
Because we all know if the United States stopped supporting Israel out of nowhere for any given reason, the sky would be black the next day.
So, it's really just a matter of us playing cover for them and keeping them in existence.
Devontae, thank you so much for the 20.
He says, Yo, Riyadh, I'm 24 and I just enrolled into college and I'm planning on going to med school and becoming a doctor, but being a doctor takes a long time.
So, I am fine or is it too late?
No, Devontae, do that.
Do that.
If you're serious, go be a doctor, bro.
Go be a doctor.
It's going to take a while.
You're probably going to be in school for maybe nine, 10 years.
Do that.
I have a lot of respect for people in the medical field and you'll make a ton of money.
It'll be worth it once you're older.
And there's no more of a prestigious position than saving lives or.
You know, being involved in medicine.
Illegal War Claims00:13:33
So, God bless you, bro.
Go for that.
Go for that if you're being serious.
Absolutely go for that.
I'm a big believer.
Look, college is useless, but, you know, we're talking engineering, computer science to some degree, software engineering, the medical field.
I'm all for that.
Absolutely go for that, man.
That's elite human capital, as we like to say.
Go ahead, Myron.
Sorry.
No, someone in the chat, Battlefall said, Myron, he's the type of nigga to play games on a tablet at the Chili's.
Yo.
And then someone said here, Jarhead, it said, Rihanna's right.
It's always the E2s and E3s who do it too.
He's talking about the cars.
The fifth elemental guy says, Chilis.
That uh, army vet says, Even military towns overseas, they target soldiers with American muscle cars.
All in 24 says, Byron, are you coming to UCI just for the student or public to get in?
I think I'll be at UCI.
Uh, thoughts on Myron's jacket with the Heli Anson?
Oh, yeah, you know what it is.
And then you guys made me spill my drink with the Camaro 50% APR.
Yeah, bro, that's what these niggas be doing.
The people are making fun of them.
Uh, I want my baby back, baby back, baby back ribs.
Niggas were else to them in the chat room.
Camaro is just an L car, like Mustang, we can talk about it, but Camaro is like.
Yo, I ain't gonna lie, bro.
If I meet somebody and I see they have a Camaro, immediately sub 100 IQ off the bat.
It's genuinely a litmus test.
That's such a shit car.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
The dude doesn't even have a Camaro.
We're roasting him so hard.
We're just assuming he has a Camaro with 40% APR, which he likely does.
He probably does say the dumb shit that he's saying, bro.
You leave.
You leave.
Nigga said, prove it when it's like, you made the claim.
Now you got to prove it.
It says, show us your chilies, bro.
Death to America that seeks nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver.
Did they lie about the range of their missiles?
Yeah, Pete Hegseth wasn't acting macho.
He was playing a macho person on TV.
He is not actually macho.
We are dealing with a war that is failing on a daily basis, as Donald Trump has taken his to.
Bro, Paisley, I got to fucking agree with soyboys like this fucking guy, bro.
Like, you know, fat faced losers.
But he's correct.
Because he was performing.
It was a performance for the ex Trump.
He's the ex Trump.
Did you know?
It was a performance for Donald Trump.
I mean, Donald Trump is very impressive.
He's taken his two largest campaign promises no new wars and lower prices.
Ah.
Inflation and he's messed both of them up.
He started.
Dude, like all he's diving, he's just giving these guys so much ammo, man.
It just pisses me off because it's like, you know, I voted for Trump.
So this is painful.
This sucks.
And what did I say as well?
Trump starting this war gives Democrats jet fuel to win.
It does.
It terms as well as in 2028.
What better bragging right would you have in the debate stage than to say that the guy across from you was a part of an administration, presumably Marco Rubio or JD Vance?
Was a part of an administration that started a forever war in the Middle East in which we achieved no goals.
Again, remember, we started this war saying no missiles, no nukes, no proxies, and even no regime.
Trump flirted with that as well, loosely.
Now it's, can you please open the straight of foremost?
Please, please open the straight of foremost.
It's like, you know, we've lost everything.
So these guys, whether in good faith or bad faith, and it's not because they're geopolitical experts, it's because it's easy for them to oppose Trump in this matter, are going to weaponize this moving forward.
And it's going to work for them, it's going to work very well for them.
Very quickly, Massad's honeypot.
Okay, says that nigga dodged the ballistic missile and then he wanted to tell you how good that triple dipper from Chili's was.
Yo, I knew they're gonna, yo, I knew the challenge is gonna cook this nigga, bro.
Like, as soon as he said, hey, it's not, there's nothing wrong, the chilies is open, I was like, they're gonna bake this guy, bro.
He hasn't commented nothing since, bro.
Like, y'all niggas are hurting his feelings, man.
Niggas are putting like, baby back, baby back, I want my baby back, baby back, baby back ribs from chilies and all that.
It's just like, bro.
So, so boosted, uh, said it.
What did the, what does it say?
Is he cooking them too?
What's even worse, they get the base models with V6 with 1K car payments.
Usually, they also marry the extra money to pay for it.
They don't even get the V8, bro.
I think what is it, an LS in there?
Yo.
Yeah, bro.
Yo.
They come back and buy the base model muscle car that literally has like nothing except a steering wheel and wheels on it and a V6 engine that has no power.
It's like, bro.
That's genuinely like the military structure 101.
Go to the military, collect a bunch of money, come back and buy a stupid muscle car.
That's crazy, man.
That's fucking hilarious, man.
Mr. Dribby, thank you for the gifted.
A new war that spiked inflation, and now this war is actively failing.
An interesting statistic is that Americans have spent collectively 23 billion extra dollars on the gas pump, and that's money that could have gone towards daycare, towards childcare.
We'll sit here and you'll laugh at Americans spending money, but the reality is we are failing this war.
The purpose of a war is to extract political concessions from the enemy.
Can you name it?
True.
It's to push your.
If diplomacy fails, it's to push your political whim on them.
A single political concession we've gotten from them?
None.
Damn, bro.
This pains me that it's like this fucking soy boy is making more sense than anybody else.
Yeah, I think your screen is frozen.
Or is it frozen?
No, no, never mind.
It's not frozen.
Vatifal says, Myron, this nigga's so cooked right now, he's never going to Chili's again.
RIP.
Yeah, bro's done with Chili's after that.
He's never going to mention Chili's again after this one, man.
Anything at all?
What are you talking about?
Any political concessions?
Because you can't name one.
So here's what we're doing: no political concessions.
When you get up past your bedtime, you get hyper.
Here's the deal.
We have a clear issue here.
We have a clear issue here.
No nuclear weapons for the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
Oh, man.
Dude, he's got to memorize his thoughts.
He's got to memorize what he's thinking.
He's good.
His mouth is moving without his mind.
Yeah, actually, I was going to say, he actually said it very smoothly.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's muscle memory.
This nigga said, Oh, here we go.
He says, I'm not in anymore.
I'm a contractor with Raytheon.
Got out of the USMC in 2012.
Then what do you know?
Then what do you know?
Then you haven't been in the military for over 10 years.
What the fuck do you know then?
Why are you?
It's just bait.
But look, I'm happy you chatted that because we had a really good time cooking your ass.
That was actually a good comedic relief from a rather serious situation that we're reporting on.
So thank you so much, Mr. 40% APR Triple Dipper.
Dumbass.
Someone said, Riyadh, I got a Camaro V8.
Yeah, V8 is a little bit more of a W.
I know, like muscle cars, but I'll give you your credit there.
Oh, man.
Okay.
What dates are coming to UCI?
I'll get them for you guys right now.
The world, period.
UCI.
The president believes, and he may be right.
University of California, I think, is what he's asking.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm going to get the dates here for y'all in a second.
Vatifal says, I'm about to clap this nigga's cheeks if he says another super chat.
Hey, you already did, bro.
He already did.
He said he left the UFC in 2012 and he's a contractor with Raytheon.
So, like, bro, if you're a contractor with Raytheon, nigga, they're definitely not going to tell you shit.
Like, what are you talking about?
Shut up.
Like, what the nigga?
Nigga, you can only go to certain parts of the baits, and you, like, what?
Bro.
I spoke to a retired Rear Admiral today, Mark Montgomery, who's at the Foundation for Defensive Democracies.
They think.
Okay.
May 13th, UCLA.
May 29th, UCR.
June 2nd, UCI.
So these are the schools that were.
And these are tentative guys.
These are not 100%.
May 13th, UCLA.
May 29th, UCR.
June 2nd, UCI.
The blockade is actually more effective than the military campaign.
And a little patience on the blockade here, where we cripple the Iranian economy.
Dude, it's going to take.
Weeks, if not months, to get the desired effect that they want to like completely cripple the economy and get them to capitulate the way that you want.
These are people that have survived a fucking, you know.
And honestly, here's the other thing too you got to remember.
If they keep doing this, what's to stop Iran from like just blowing up a destroyer?
Yeah.
That's the next step.
That's what the Supreme Leader said.
Like his Supreme Leader, his son, the more extreme one.
He said, We're just going to target U.S. vessels if you keep this up.
Yeah.
Release the blockade.
They're not going to concede to the blockade by releasing the Strait of Hormuz.
Yeah.
They're going to escalate.
Because they are the ones who have escalation dominance.
We don't have escalation dominance.
We are trying to exercise that, but it's kicking us in our own ass.
Yeah.
So they're the ones who actually have more of a ball in their court to make this worse than it already is for the United States.
And that's advancing military assets or military munitions onto these vessels that are currently present just a little bit outside of the coast of Iran.
Yeah.
And by the way, look at, what's his name, Adam?
He's just smiling cynically, waiting to respond because he knows all of these talking points off the back of his head and he's going to destroy him probably.
Yeah.
And then this guy.
Big, uh, big whatever again comes back and says military contractors go to bases.
Goodness gracious, bro.
Are you that stupid?
Nobody's denying that you go to bases.
What I'm saying is you're gonna have a very limited purview when you go to said bases.
Okay, you're not even in the military, so you're not really getting filled in on what the hell's going on.
I showed you the video of a you dead getting cooked.
You have multiple reputable sources saying they got destroyed.
Like, dude, you're so fucking dumb, it's painful, bro.
It's so painful.
Bro, I thought only women wanted attention.
Now it's almost motherfuckers on chilies and Camaros.
Exactly, bro.
Chilies and Camaros, nigga.
We kill their currency, which is happening as we speak, where we put pressure on China because they need to get their oil flowing again.
A little bit of patience, right?
Bro, China gets a majority of their oil from Russia, they don't get it from Iran.
Now, most of Iran's oil goes to China, but a majority of China's oil does not come from Iran.
So, what this guy, bro, right here, not bombs, but patience on this coat, man.
The Republican Party talking points.
A naval blockade could get the outcome you want, which is no nuclear weapons for the largest state sponsor of terror.
You've been saying this for eight weeks, and we are now past the four to six week deadline.
Where is the enriched uranium right now?
It's under rubble.
Where is it right now?
In the United States or Iran?
Iran still has the enriched uranium.
They still have the scientists scattered across their country, and they have all of the blueprints in the cloud.
You can sit there and act confused, but you can't name a single political concession.
It's not over from Iran.
It's not over yet.
Okay, but also on that fact, why are we talking about the strategy of this?
This isn't a legal war.
This is terrorism.
We are turning our mil.
Here we go.
Here comes a progressive.
You already know.
Yeah, it's like a political war.
This is an illegal war.
See, I hate using that rhetoric because it's like, bro, let's just be honest.
The United States never adheres to international law ever.
Okay?
And it never will.
And they never will, right?
Like, we totally think we're above international law.
Like, bro, using that whole thing about, yo, this is.
This is an illegal war, blah, blah.
Like, bro, that shit's not going to work, bro.
Like, you have to attack the conflict from the stupidity of it.
You can't take it from the legality.
And this is what progressives try to do a lot of times attack it from like, this is an illegal war, blah, blah, bro.
Nobody's just shut up, man.
They're going to tell you to shut up.
They're going to find a way to legalize it, right?
So, though in theory, you might be correct that it's an illegal war.
That's a weak argument to make because let's be honest, the United States never, ever cares about the legality of conflicts.
Military into pirates.
We are seizing civilian vessels.
Additionally, Sanctioned Iranian vessels that have gone through a DOG process.
Okay.
Vadafal says, I'm an army vet, been deployed overseas.
Lower enlisted and contractors, especially people with top secret clearance, don't get any important information.
Yeah, bro.
I mean, he's a contractor.
Of course, he's not going to know what the fuck's going on.
Niggas are calling him Baby Back Retard, BFD.
Chili's.
Oh, still love you guys.
Pause.
Did you change your name to Chili's, nigga?
Nigga will spend his Chili's money and Camaro gas on super chats.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Really quick.
I have a chapter to see if we could.
Would you pull up if we host a Myron College debate at Stony Brook Uni, Long Island?
Is that in the works?
If they did it, I'd go.
I'll go to any school where if you guys make it happen.
I know they have to make it happen.
I just didn't know if it was in the works.
I would go.
I would definitely pull up because that's close.
I would 100% go.
But you guys got to do the work and make an Uncensored America chapter, bro.
That's the only way we could do it.
Yeah.
Don't have any meaning, but like we have sanctions against these vessels.
We have sanctions against these vessels.
We have sanctions against these vessels.
In some cases, the UN has sanctions against these vessels.
But one of the most egregious aspects of this is the white Christian nationalist twist that Pete Hegseth has added onto this talk, saying that this conflict that we started, that we have sacrificed our own service members for, is ordained by God.
Is bombing a school full of schoolgirls ordained by God?
Is our prices going up and us not being able to afford an ambulance, we call an Uber instead?
Is that ordained by God?
In 1983, I was in Beirut when they.
Marine Corps barracks was blown up by a suicide bomber sponsored by the Iranians.
It's not 1930 Marines known by the Israelis.
Strategic Losses Explained00:05:04
Yeah, tell the full story, my friend.
Tell how the Israelis knew that this attack was going to happen.
They did absolutely nothing about it.
Terrible.
And this is what I've always said because I've got to make this a point.
And that was not Hezbollah that did it, by the way.
It was Hezbollah hadn't even really been formulated yet at this point when they bombed it.
It was another military faction in the south of Iran.
It was the predecessor to Hezbollah.
Yes.
So, and here's the thing.
Allegedly.
Who's a bigger enemy to the United States?
Our front facing adversary, that being Iran, the ones that we know may actually attack us at any point, whether we know or not, or Israel, our alleged ally that knows our enemy is about to attack us that we don't see coming and does not tell us.
I think that's actually way worse.
If we have an ally, imagine you have a best friend who knows your arch nemesis is about to stab you in the back and your best friend just watches it happen.
I got a retard in the chat for you.
Non terror says, don't listen to terrorist pro brothers.
Okay.
You have everything you want to tell them?
Or no, I'm just cooking this.
I do have something.
I wish I could actually say what I wanted to say, but I'm on YouTube.
But you know what that guy probably is.
Yeah, non terror.
More than likely, you spend dreidels and you're stupid, honestly, if we're going to be honest here.
Like I said before, and see, what are we wrong about?
How about that one?
Non terror in the Rumble chat.
Tell me what we're wrong about.
Okay.
I'm going to give you the opportunity to show your stupidity.
Fuck!
Tell me how we are wrong.
How about that one?
And guys, don't worry, I'm still going to cover the true crime stuff after this.
I just wanted to cover this stuff with my brother, and then he's probably going to get off, and then I'll keep going on and we'll do the true crime shit.
But let's see what this retard says.
Hey, non terror, give us one fact how we're wrong, dude.
Please tell us how we're wrong because you're stupid.
That you voted for Trump?
What does that have to do with anything?
See, I voted for Trump, but I'm not an idiot, and I can admit what he's doing is wrong.
Then he says, You keep glazing?
Who am I?
You're an idiot, bro.
You know, you can't even make a coherent argument.
First, you say, What are you talking about, dude?
Speak in full sentences, you fucking retard.
Speak in full sentences.
What are we wrong about?
You have the floor, retard.
Let's go.
The guy has the floor and he's just typing in like not, you know, nonsensical sentences.
It says, Glazing Iran.
Because we're telling you the truth about what's going on, idiot?
Huh?
If anything, that should prove to you we voted for Trump.
All right, sorry, I voted for Trump, but I'm still able to tell you guys the truth about this war.
So, if anything, that shows that I'm being honest, idiot.
You have any facts?
You have any facts about what I'm wrong about?
How about that one?
See, and here's the thing.
You gotta, this is why I call so many niggas out in the chat because you guys are stupid.
And then I fucking put the feet to the fire, tell me how I'm wrong, and you guys can never do that.
This other idiot says, Myron won't debate Nick because he knows he'd wreck him.
Bro, I've watched Nick's debates.
He's stupid as fuck, bro.
He wouldn't win anything.
Bro's arguments are fucking terrible.
Non terror, why do you keep telling people how America is losing?
Because he cares about America?
Yeah, because we are losing, idiot.
Because we are losing.
We're losing this war strategically.
Are you fucking retarded?
If you actually cared about the U.S., you would call out the mistake it's making so it doesn't destroy itself.
If you didn't care about the U.S., you would know it's making a mistake and not call it out and let us self destruct.
Someone says your debate with Brandon Tatum was atrocious.
Yeah, that's how I know you're an idiot.
Some other.
Her name is Brit 210.
That's a woman.
Why do I got women in my chat right now?
What's going on, dude?
Yo, so many people are just retarded, dude.
Oh my God.
Okay, we'll just keep watching this shit.
This guy can't make an argument.
We got stupid people in the chat.
They also took out a couple of dozen at the U.S. Embassy.
Peralta, we murdered an entire school of children.
You can't make them.
Uh, you know, suddenly a victim, okay.
The real question is, what have we got?
I think, I actually think the school children are victims.
I think, no, non terror.
You didn't ask a question, you make you made a assertion that we're terror brothers, and I asked you, Tell me how that we're terror brothers, and you said, Because we're saying that uh, U.S. is losing the war when they are.
You're just an idiot, okay.
So, enjoy the shadow room, stupid time to send you to the shadow realm.
The future is mine, idiot, dude.
Holy, enjoy the shadow room, bro.
You, you, I see your super chat.
Send me the link of that video on Instagram or just put it in the chat.
Put the page that posted that video in the chat because I'd like to see it.
Go ahead, Myron.
Yeah, we got some MAGA retards in the chat.
Like someone in here said, my debate against Brandon Tatum was atrocious.
That's how I know you're an idiot.
Chat Room Drama00:05:25
Yeah, you obviously know that.
Brandon Tatum got absolutely demolished.
If you think Brandon Tatum won that debate, you're just an idiot.
I don't know what to tell you.
You're literally 20 IQ.
Civilians that are dead are dead.
Yeah, I do.
But hold on, I do think.
Just to be clear, I mean, obviously, Marines being killed is terrible, school children being killed is terrible, but there's a big difference between Iran willfully bombing U.S. military targets and the United States bombing a school and then not acknowledging it, which is its own separate problem.
But the school children are civilians.
They're civilians point blank.
They should never be targeted.
We are, according to some people, already at the 60 day mark of this war, and technically they're supposed to come to Congress on it.
Pete Huxeth was questioned about this today.
Listen to this.
Like, dude, Brandon Tatum didn't even know about the Hannibal directive, bro.
Like, he didn't even know that Israel killed their own people on October 7th.
None of them know about that, by the way.
That always catches them by surprise.
Dude, like, you know, when you're so advanced that you can't even, like, explain to them what's really going on because they're just so behind.
It's like you're over here, like, doing calculus and niggas are still doing addition.
That's, like, what it was debating Tatum.
The War Powers Resolution specifies that a war initiated by a president without congressional approval must be concluded within 60 days.
Ultimately, I would defer to the White House and White House counsel on that.
However, we are in a ceasefire right now, which our understanding means the 60 day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire.
So you're not in.
That's our understanding, just so you know.
Okay, well, I do not believe the statute would support that.
I mean, That was essentially how the Obama administration interpreted the statute.
I think Republicans disagreed with it at the time.
100%.
I think it would be clear.
Just to be clear, yeah.
It would be a good act of constitutional hygiene, and it's not you need to conclude within 60 days.
You need to conclude or have authorization from Congress within 60 days.
Exactly.
So they could come to Congress and get authorization.
Why not?
Or they could challenge the statute, which, as somebody who has either sponsored legislation to repeal or reform every extant authorization for the use of military force and to reform war powers more broadly, I also have to confess the War Powers Act of 1974, the constitutional underpinnings of that are shaky.
It may not hold up to the full potential, but it's the law of the land.
It has not been.
Congress has the power of the purse.
And this is the reality if Congress continues to authorize the Department of War, if they continue to pass the National Defense Appropriations Act, they continue to do that.
They're not going to shoot down the Defense Act on the basis of a war that Donald Trump has made.
I would not shoot down all of our defense.
The National Defense Act comes up once a year.
I think it's probably this year.
It's usually toward the end of the.
They also are requesting a supplemental before.
Right, they're requesting a supplemental, but they haven't actually done that fully yet.
And I do think it raises the question do they just get to pause this thing whenever they feel like it, even though there is an active blockade?
And a blockade involves the U.S. military threatening with force.
That is considered an act of war.
Yeah, it is considered an act of war.
So how does that not count?
I think that that interpretation, however, is subject to reasonable acceptance and interpretation.
If indeed there is a ceasefire, Don't you want to encourage the ceasefire?
Don't you want to encourage this peace deal?
Yeah, but there's also a naval blockade, which is by definition not a ceasefire.
We're talking legalities when it comes to war power.
Yeah, that's a whole other thing, too.
Is like you got a blockade in the middle of a ceasefire.
Wait, what?
This is bird law, right?
Remember, by the way, governed by reason.
That blockade was imposed right around the time Abbas Arakchi and Iran, the IRGC as a whole, was willing to open the Strait of Hormuz without any sort of peace deal actually being effectuated first.
They were willing to make the Strait of Hormuz the first step.
And then the ceasefire or a longer ceasefire peace deal, the second step.
And then the blockade made now the Strait of Hormuz the last step because now they have to weaponize it as much as they possibly can.
And that's an example of Donald Trump exacerbating the issue for the shallow sake of looking like the winning side or the stronger man when he just needs to concede and understand that he's achieved none of his goals in this matter and we should pull out.
But of course, he can't do that.
You know, you can't get.
No, no, it's always something that's not a big fancier.
Come on.
Can I just take it back?
Wait, wait, wait.
What do you mean by bird law?
I mean that we try to apply.
Apply normal rhetoric, normal logic, normal dictionary definitions.
As we do in a democracy.
We're not Iran.
We don't get to just ignore the law of the North Korean government.
What international legal repercussions?
If we're talking about that, what international legal repercussions?
This is a war of aggression.
What is international law?
Who's enforcing international law?
Who is the aggressor here?
Us!
We are the aggressor.
We launched this war.
Yes.
Just because Iran exists.
Did all of U.S. history exist before the last eight weeks to you or just eight weeks?
It started on February 28th.
Listen, we all know.
I mean, honestly, they have been at war with us for 47 years.
We all know that Scott Jennings.
No, we have been at war with a country that starts with letters IRA that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt.
I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.
Now this war is failing.
Eight weeks is endless to you?
Okay, you said it was going to be four to six weeks.
You have the attention span of a net.
Aggressor Status Confirmed00:02:17
I debated you on TV four to six weeks ago and you said we were weeks away from it.
Now you're making condescending remarks because you can't defend the fact that this war is not going to happen.
He really, he took the Netanyahu approach.
Hey, we're weeks away from a bomb.
Like, what?
Not going your way.
Wait, one more time.
Not going your way.
Iron Reload, thank you for the gifted sub before.
I appreciate you.
None, one political concession.
Name one political concession.
Honestly, I'm not going to have this guy's opinion on my face.
Everybody hang tight.
Honestly.
No, everybody calm down.
Okay.
We're having a debate.
You can respond to the points that he's made.
I don't know why they have them sitting so close together, though.
Like, they are kind of awkwardly close together.
Like, bro, spread out a little bit.
Like, look at this.
Like, bro, why can't this nigga move down a little bit?
Why does he got to be right next to him?
Yeah, he is all up in his shit.
I ain't gonna lie.
Like, why is it all up in his shit?
Like, yo, move this guy over here.
What?
They can't be next to her?
Like, what's going on here?
You know what I mean?
He should be across the table anyway.
You can respond to the point.
Yo, CNN hires no good looking bitches, bro.
Like, yo, this is terrible, bro.
Like, if you're gonna have women giving us the news, like, yo, make sure they're hot at least.
Bro, because like, damn, like, what's going on here?
Can you name a political concession that we got earlier?
It was kind of bad.
Which one?
Or maybe that was Fox.
Yeah, bro, it's probably Fox, bro.
Fox at least gets that part right.
Like, the chicks are stupid, but like, they're at least better looking somewhat.
You know?
CNN don't got baddies?
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
CNN got nothing, dude.
Yeah.
They hire like fat and ugly chicks.
It's fucking embarrassing.
Battle Falls, Myron, are you going to cover the Albania female director at JP Morgan allegedly making her subordinate sex slave?
That's a fake story.
It wasn't true.
I saw that.
That was fake?
It was fake, yeah.
Flashbacks to the war the skinheads had in my studio.
I would be modified to defend the war.
Scott, you can respond.
We have a very simple goal to keep terrorists and a terrorist regime from having a nuclear weapon that can threaten the United States.
Bro, Israel is a terrorist regime, bro.
What more proof do you need that these guys have no idea what they're talking about?
About, I've never heard the same talking points spun around so many times inside one debate.
Goodness gracious!
Yeah, it's like they gave them like it's like they give them a thing and they just rip, yeah.
