00:00:00.000 Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations.
00:00:03.380 Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonged large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable
00:00:10.280 and risk weakening their ability to confront those threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland,
00:00:14.620 according to people familiar with the recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief.
00:00:18.080 And that includes the head of CENTCOM and the head of the Army.
00:00:22.740 And they've already publicly released that information a month ago.
00:00:25.060 They just reissued it.
00:00:25.900 Trump, including the head of the European command
00:00:27.920 Trump insists Iran already dead
00:00:30.280 After US regime strikes
00:00:32.300 Well, there are already regime changes
00:00:33.640 He said at least 15 times
00:00:35.000 Are dead and defeated
00:00:36.480 And the war is over
00:00:37.660 Remember months ago on his 80th birthday
00:00:39.620 UFC fight
00:00:40.560 He signed the deal and said
00:00:41.960 It's over, we've won
00:00:43.160 They signed the deal
00:00:44.300 And then Iran said
00:00:45.000 We just agreed to start negotiations
00:00:46.760 What are you talking about?
00:00:48.060 Real time
00:00:48.920 Uncensored
00:00:50.160 Unstoppable
00:00:51.460 AlexJonesLive.com
00:00:54.400 Take a stand
00:00:55.880 And share the link.
00:00:58.680 Do you want to fight?
00:01:00.080 You better believe you got one.
00:01:02.260 All right.
00:01:02.840 Every time I try to focus on the left, the Democrat, Socialist of America, the Red Green
00:01:07.020 Alliance, because they're a giant threat, that you got big tech, the globalists, the
00:01:11.600 depopulationists, overlords above that, got the military industrial complex, got the China
00:01:16.700 lobby, the Israel lobby.
00:01:18.520 It's just unbelievable.
00:01:19.980 Every time I just can't because Trump is going so insane.
00:01:23.580 And this is not 3D chess.
00:01:25.200 This is floundering.
00:01:27.980 This is flailing.
00:01:30.300 The Pentagon officially is telling Trump, we are extremely low on munitions.
00:01:34.320 The supply chains are almost completely broken.
00:01:38.040 And Trump offers AI slop.
00:01:41.200 Now, notice a few weeks ago, they said the war was over for the 50-something time.
00:01:46.960 And I said on air, let's put the date back up.
00:01:49.760 Every day we show you how many days in.
00:01:50.960 I said, it's not over.
00:01:52.380 It's still ongoing.
00:01:54.120 We're now on day 184.
00:01:56.880 And then now Trump says the war is back on.
00:01:59.200 Oil prices explode back up.
00:02:02.040 And then he says, look at this video of Kirk Island being destroyed.
00:02:05.820 I post it, and the bots come in and say, that's fake.
00:02:08.320 You made that up.
00:02:09.420 He didn't bomb it.
00:02:10.320 I said, I didn't say he bombed it.
00:02:13.260 I said, he said, here it is being blown up.
00:02:15.780 And they go, he didn't post that.
00:02:17.080 As soon as it was showed, he did post it.
00:02:18.300 They go, well, it's good.
00:02:20.840 This is total cuckoo town.
00:02:23.440 so you've got a minority of trump supporters that are left and they are in an absolute cult
00:02:32.860 trump dumbass syndrome and i'm just trying to get trump to correct here
00:02:39.580 but i think tucker's right when he said friday trump just has to be removed i said
00:02:43.580 when this whole thing started he said we're going to basically nuke iran i said if you try to do
00:02:48.440 that he needs to be removed i didn't say remove him then i said remove him if he tries to do that
00:02:52.120 And now we've seen so much more. We got to have Congress implement the War Powers Act.
00:02:56.860 That is what should be done. And then Trump doesn't even have to be removed.
00:02:59.740 We probably don't have the votes for impeachment or 25th Amendment to have the people in his cabinet to move for that.
00:03:05.500 So the move is the War Powers Act. Congress is supposed to declare war.
00:03:10.720 They were in three votes a month ago on ending the war. They failed. But three is close.
00:03:16.900 And I understand we've got a bunch of evil people in both parties, particularly the Democrats,
00:03:20.060 who've even said, oh, we love Trump doing this war.
00:03:22.600 It's super unpopular.
00:03:23.340 He's screwing up bad.
00:03:24.260 Let him continue it.
00:03:25.800 We could all get killed in nuclear war.
00:03:28.160 You already have Pakistan coming in with a nuclear umbrella with Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
00:03:32.900 This is out of control.
00:03:35.400 So here's Trump, AlexShieldsLive.com.
00:03:38.500 Iran officially a failed nation.
00:03:41.420 Okay, yes, and they're going to hold on basically indefinitely.
00:03:46.080 So here's the headlines.
00:03:47.480 military leaders warn hegseth against extending iran war operations red alert that's the pentagon
00:03:55.560 officially saying that and what a month ago the head general over those operations and over all
00:04:01.420 the missiles the head of the european command that is actually above that in sitcom even though
00:04:06.180 that's not sitcom itself it's it's in sitcom but its own area said we're out of missiles to defend
00:04:12.520 the united states and europe we need to stop this and of course he got called a traitor now the
00:04:17.000 Pentagon's officially saying it. Trump insists Iran already dead after U.S. resumed strikes. So,
00:04:22.560 oh, they're a failed state. Oh, they've already had regime change. Oh, they're defeated,
00:04:26.840 but they're not. And then he posts AI slop of them being defeated. Oil jumps as weeks open as
00:04:34.720 U.S. military hits Iranian launchers. Trump's fake AI video of Kirk Island attack leaves U.S.
00:04:42.040 military scrambling, but his supporters just say he didn't even post it. That's easy for them.
00:04:47.620 That's like North Korean brainwashing. Unbelievable. So it's all coming up. Trump
00:04:54.660 has attacked his supporters that don't like data centers being above the law. I mean, it is crazy.
00:04:59.180 Putin's openly preparing to invade Ukraine with 300, 600,000 troops, including North Koreans.

00:06:46.040 Cargillin being blown to smithereens.
00:06:48.300 President DJT, he posted that last night.
00:06:52.640 I posted it.
00:06:53.940 And this is just in the psychology of the Trump worship syndrome people.
00:06:59.960 And they went, that's not real.
00:07:01.920 That's AI.
00:07:02.660 He didn't post that.
00:07:03.560 and then I noticed that they attacked even Trump worshiping influencers that posted it
00:07:09.160 that they go he didn't do that I'm like what and then when it was proven Trump did do it they went
00:07:13.920 well it's great I mean it is just I'm so worried about these people because the numbers are all in
00:07:22.140 on the midterms more internal polls I've talked to people the White House they're all hitting the
00:07:25.420 panic button Nick Sordor who is very loyal to Trump and a great guy and I respect him
00:07:30.760 making his decision that it's lesser two evils, but he even came out and echoed what a bunch of
00:07:37.320 Fox News hosts have said, what the Pentagon has said, that unless we wrap this SH you-know-what up
00:07:44.020 in the Middle East ASAP, the midterms are going to be very, very ugly. Be mad at me all you want,
00:07:49.440 but I am not going to lie to you. And he got massively attacked. I talked to him this morning,
00:07:54.820 massively attacked, saying you're a traitor, you hate Israel, you're with Tucker Carlson and Alex
00:08:00.600 Jones, you're a scumbag by big accounts. And boy, that's how you make your friends, Israel.
00:08:08.860 There's people that are pro-Israel and anti-Iran, but this ain't working as the Pentagon predicted,
00:08:15.580 and they say what Laura Ingraham has said and what Glenn Beck has said is pro-Trump,
00:08:21.000 but this is not good and oh you're a traitor you can go read the comments you're a scumbag you're
00:08:26.900 alex jones very very sad and and that's just emblematic of this so the pentagon has officially
00:08:36.280 come out and said we're almost out of munitions we can't defend europe or the u.s
00:08:39.260 for the second time in a month the supply chains are heavily broken most our bases are damaged or
00:08:44.160 destroyed middle east we've got to stop this now when hegseth and trump ordered more strikes
00:08:50.600 Now, when your own Pentagon's telling you, hey, the engine light's flashing red and there's steam coming out and smoke coming out of the tailpipe, and we're told just shut up about it, that is insane.
00:09:08.000 So here's some of the headlines.
00:09:10.200 Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations.
00:09:14.120 Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegset that prolonged large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable
00:09:20.820 and risk weakening their ability to confront those threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland,
00:09:25.180 according to people familiar with the recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief.
00:09:28.640 And that includes the head of CENTCOM and the head of the Army.
00:09:32.980 And they've already publicly released that information a month ago.
00:09:35.420 They just reissued it.
00:09:36.820 Trump, including the head of the European command, Trump insists Iran already dead after U.S. resumed strikes.
00:09:42.860 Well, there are already regime changes, he said, at least 15 times, are dead and defeated, and the war is over.
00:09:48.280 Remember, months ago on his 80th birthday, the UFC fight, he signed the deal and said, it's over, we've won.
00:09:53.900 They signed the deal, and then Iran said, we just agreed to start negotiations.
00:09:57.400 What are you talking about?
00:09:59.160 Oil jumps at this week's open as U.S. military hits Iran launchers.
00:10:07.140 Meanwhile, the Pentagon got really panicked by Trump's fake AI video of Karg Island attack.
00:10:12.220 That's what I and others pointed out last night.
00:10:14.000 I said he's the commander-in-chief.
00:10:16.360 He can't say, look, here's Kirk Island being blown to smithereens,
00:10:20.440 even though it's obviously AI.
00:10:22.080 It looks like a video game.
00:10:23.280 He's the commander-in-chief of the most powerful country in the world still.
00:10:27.760 The order of power is diminishing the dollar and more,
00:10:30.080 and our debt's exploding.
00:10:31.020 And when he says it, people take it seriously.
00:10:37.000 And then the Pentagon's like, please, stop.
00:10:41.780 Because now the world thinks that we've blown up Kirk Island when it's just another threat from Trump.
00:10:53.340 The Defense Department was forced today to deny the U.S. had struck Iran's main petroleum export facility after President Donald Trump posted a fake but very realistic AI-generated video showing a purported attack by American forces.
00:11:06.560 the video posted to the president's true social account appears to show oil storage tanks and
00:11:12.880 refineries erupting in flames from the perspective of someone filming from inside a helicopter above
00:11:16.900 the carnage with the accompanying message describing the scene as kirk island being
00:11:20.940 blown to spithereens and signed president djt he didn't say this is what's going to happen if you
00:11:26.620 don't negotiate he said this is what happened but a u.s official said no such attack taking place
00:11:32.560 with kirk island not being among the locations targeted overnight yeah he also announced this
00:11:37.740 when new strikes began in what has been the first exchange of fire between america and iranian forces
00:11:42.860 in weeks additionally the head of the national iranian oil company said today that the president
00:11:48.340 post was laughable and described conditions on kirk island as calm and appropriate
00:11:52.600 trump whose white house has repeatedly stated that the true social post
00:11:57.900 count as official statements for the commander in chief also hit out at iran again in a separate
00:12:02.900 true social post today writing that it was officially a failed nation and dead this is not
00:12:10.380 how the pr department for a condominium high-rise acts this is not how the pr department for a
00:12:19.680 dental office acts and this is sure as hell not how a governor's pr office acts or state police
00:12:25.500 PR office acts or the president of the United States of America acts.
00:12:32.280 And having all the paid social media bots come out and attack anybody that calls out
00:12:36.580 this insanity only turns more people against Trump who've been trying to get him back on
00:12:41.420 track.
00:12:45.360 I'm not on the Trump train, but I'm still hoping some sanity can come into the situation.
00:12:50.620 but at a certain point i'm gonna have to 100 even abandon that if this continues because this is
00:12:57.160 getting crazier and crazier and stupider and stupider and more stuff he did is just bonkers
00:13:02.600 and more open insider trading more open corruption where they just advertise pay us money we'll give
00:13:08.980 you insider trading information they put out new promos about it that are the definition of insider
00:13:14.140 trading what about all of us that signed on to trump and promoted him and went through hell for
00:13:17.780 him and now by extension he thinks we'll still support him and now be part of the crimes he's
00:13:22.500 committing i don't care if he pardons himself it's still criminal it's worse than what pelosi's
