00:30:32.740And as the vice president, right, and the guy who wants to take MAGA over after Trump, you know, Vance is in a very difficult situation, right, where even if he doesn't agree with the war, he's got to kind of get on board with it and he can't defy the president.
00:30:44.700The advice of people that disagree with him.
00:30:49.040and he used to do that and that's one of the personality changes that has been observed
00:30:55.940i i don't think i don't think robert barnes is fabricating that at all again he's got he's got
00:31:03.020the access to people who know and we've observed you know like just tonight donald trump claimed
00:31:10.600that he talked to the Iranian leaders.
00:35:42.600central command will be busy tonight because president trump said we will be hitting iran
00:35:49.680hard and we will be uh because iran has a chance to make a good deal a great deal bro that's so0.99
00:35:56.420stupid uh dude this is like you know cnn counted somewhere like 37 to 30 to 40 times that trump0.98
00:36:02.800said we're going to have a deal codify what they said they've been willing to do and they have guys0.99
00:36:06.580if you ever smash that like button by the way if you're watching on youtube haven't been willing
00:36:10.000to do it. So as President Trump said, they've been tap, tap, tapping. You can see when someone's
00:36:15.380trying to tap, tap, tap on a deal. Instead, they're going to have tap, tap, tap bombs dropping
00:36:20.200on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America. And that's not- Fantastic ceasefire,
00:36:25.580man. Because we want to restart anything, we don't have to restart. It's because we are,
00:36:30.760the War Department is prepared to set the terms to ensure that we get the kind of deal President
00:36:35.940trump expects uh and admiral cooper and the team here at centcom has done a phenomenal job from
00:36:42.900the beginning on epic fury and through this blockade ensuring uh that we have a chance to
00:36:48.460reach that end state which is iran will have never have a nuclear weapon which they say they don't
00:36:53.460want uh and so since we're so close to that negotiated deal uh if that's the case they0.97
00:36:58.920should step up and do no we're not dude like i love how these guys just like keep fucking lying0.74
00:37:03.320saying we're close to a deal. We're close to a deal. We're not close to a deal, dude, at all.0.95
00:37:08.640Okay. At all. It's like, they keep thinking we're stupid, bro. There's another thing that
00:37:16.800was revealed today by the president that the press has not been aware of, but certainly this
00:37:21.020building, the U S central command has known is that project freedom, the idea of running ships
00:37:26.660through the Strait of Hormuz, uh, it never, never stopped. Uh, it just went underground. And so
00:37:31.800there's some things the public knows and some things the public doesn't know but ultimately
00:37:35.680we've been protecting commercial shipping going through the strait of hormuz as the president
00:37:40.620announced to the tune of over 100 million barrels that have moved through and more in the middle of
00:37:46.700the night protected by the united states in a way that iran can't stop they can't see it and they
00:37:52.100can't stop it so answer me this if our blockade is ironclad which it is we just we just disabled
00:37:58.820another tanker attempting to leave just yesterday. Our blockade has stopped almost 140 ships
00:38:04.400attempting to navigate in or out to Iranian ports. So far, blockade is ironclad, which it is.
00:38:10.560And we're able to move commercial shipping in and out of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:38:15.080Who controls the Strait of Hormuz? And President Trump said it, and he's right.
00:38:18.760The United States of America controls the Strait of Hormuz. We're able to bring0.61
00:38:22.060oil in and out and other things with partners.
00:38:25.580That is just such cope, bro. This is like such epic, like cope and have done so now for weeks and weeks in ways the Iranians don't want to acknowledge. That's a powerful reality on the ground. Add that to what if we control it like he claims, then why is it not open, dude?1.00
00:38:42.160if we control it like you claim why is it not open why is a barrel of brent damn near a hundred
00:38:47.940dollars right now bro versus it was like 70 bucks before the war like what's going on here1.00
00:38:55.500united states military it's like pete hex that thinks you guys are stupid you know0.99
00:39:00.080like i've noticed that when trump and rubio and hexeth right talk to the american public it's0.99
00:39:07.640like they only watch fox news and watch don't watch anything else if you only watch fox news
00:39:11.720yeah you're gonna think okay yeah we're totally winning this thing it's awesome we're close to a
00:39:16.300deal but it's it's just it's just ridiculous now at this point it's starting to really get
00:39:23.280ridiculous if we had it under control like you said the price uh the price per barrel would not
00:39:31.480be sitting at damn near 100 bucks right now with central command americans wouldn't be paying double0.63
00:39:35.380for gas did to their navy to their air force to their air defenses to their power here we go again
00:39:42.260with uh we destroyed their army and their navy here we go again with this one our projection
00:39:47.920as if their army and navy matters capabilities uh and we know exactly on this ledger who's on
00:39:54.540the strong end and who who is not who's had decisive effects and who can't defend and so
00:40:00.560from the beginning we oh our power projection like the fact that we can't defend our allies
00:40:04.600in the region as they get bombed right that power projection how a majority of our bases have either
00:40:14.280been destroyed or completely uninhabitable right now at this point all across the region
00:40:17.880like come on dude billions of dollars billions of dollars of damage
00:40:25.400you've shown overwhelmingly the kind of capabilities the war department can bring
00:42:44.400They will be strong and they will be clear.
00:42:46.580And throughout, Iran has an opportunity to make a deal.
00:42:50.440Yeah, CENTCOM is in Florida, yes, but I'm saying they have not been able to run the operations the same way out of Doha, because obviously they do a lot of the planning at CENTCOM in Florida, but the real stuff was being done in the Middle East, obviously, because it's right there, and they can't even do it there, like they normally would, because it's under attack.
00:43:10.460President Trump is a dealmaker, the best in the world. He's prepared to make that deal.
00:43:15.600Iran would be wise to take it. Otherwise, they would have to deal with the types of plans that
00:43:20.120I just had a chance to see inside Central Command. And I'll end with this. I had a chance to thank
00:43:24.980the thousands of incredible Americans here at the headquarters that represent the tens of
00:43:30.400thousands out in theater, just the absolute best, dedicated to the success of this mission,
00:43:35.900whether it was Epic Fury or the blockade and the ceasefire.
00:43:39.100The things that have happened underneath it. To give the president all the space he needs to make a great deal. They're enthusiastic about this historic mission. They're enthusiastic about the incredible results.
00:43:51.100Yeah, let's be enthusiastic about a war that serves no strategic benefit for the United States, okay, and drags us more into debt, gets our military infrastructure destroyed in the region, undermines our position with our allies, shows us to be a paper tiger that can't actually protect our allies in the region.
00:44:09.460Yeah, let's go ahead and be a part of this exciting mission.
00:51:54.580And then even U.S. intelligence components are saying Iran still maintains somewhere between 50 to 70 percent of their missile infrastructure.
00:54:26.420Beneath Iran's mountains, a shadow arsenal waits, hidden from satellites.0.99
00:54:32.300And this is why it's so difficult for us to attack them, guys,0.96
00:54:34.600because they have these missile cities all across the country.0.99
00:54:36.920it's a huge country 90 million people it's like three to four times the size of iraq
00:54:41.620okay it's huge it's the size of i think iran if i'm not mistaken is like the the entire size of
00:54:47.080western europe okay and they have these missile cities trickled all across the country
00:54:51.740and they're so deep underground so even if we did know where these missile cities are here's
00:54:57.240the crazy part let's assume we did know where some of these missile cities were we still don't
00:55:01.860have the bunker busters for a lot of them to be able to get deep enough to destroy them now i
00:55:05.460I know some of you guys are going to say, well, Myron, we were able to destroy Fordow because we had a bunker bus that I was able to get there.
01:16:05.900As we've noted, we're running ships through Iran, doesn't really know how to see them or how to sense them.
01:16:10.620And so they're doing well in good spirits, and we're grateful for everything they've done to protect the shipping and our interest in the process.
01:17:27.100I know we spent a half a day at Gitmo with you. There's still currently 15 prisoners there, mostly Islamic jihadists. So given Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's detailed confessions to orchestrating 9-11 and other Al-Qaeda plots.
01:28:44.740He's the executive director of the Mizgov Institute
01:28:47.000and the visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
