00:08:51.160 All right, boys, we're live. 1.00

00:08:52.680 Welcome to the stream.

00:08:53.440 We're going to hop right into it. 0.58

00:08:55.220 Fix the camera.

00:08:55.880 Got a whole other thing.

00:08:56.680 They're talking about OPEC.

00:08:57.760 Let's go into it.

00:09:00.580 Before we get into it, what is OPEC?

00:09:02.320 Real quick for you guys.

00:09:04.420 The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, is an intergovernmental organization

00:09:08.460 and cartel enabling the cooperation of leading oil producing and oil dependent countries

00:09:12.460 in order to collectively influence the global market and maximize profit.

00:09:16.460 In other words, guys, it's basically a bunch of oil bosses that dictate the price of oil.

00:09:20.700 So everyone turns a profit when they sell.

00:09:22.420 Let's get into it.

00:09:25.240 Economist.

00:09:25.880 So you mean to tell me you don't want your commander in chief?

00:09:29.140 And as you guys know, the UAE recently or is going to back out of OPEC starting May 1st.

00:09:35.800 Now, this is pretty big news when it comes to energy.

00:09:38.400 I have the ability.

00:09:39.300 And guys, excuse me if I'm a bit tired.

00:09:40.980 I didn't sleep yet. 1.00

00:09:41.980 I said, fuck it. 1.00

00:09:42.520 Let me just come on. 1.00

00:09:43.360 They're talking about OPEC.

00:09:44.280 They're talking about the energy crisis.

00:09:46.060 Let's go.

00:09:46.460 to leave NATO and NATO is afraid to make sure they stand up to absolutely not I want this I

00:09:52.220 want the Senate and Congress is a major treaty a major U.S. commitment you support wait a major

00:09:57.460 commitment of them to the U.S. yeah I want to go back to the nice world where we had treaties that

00:10:02.000 were ratified by the Senate and agreed to and lasted over multiple administrations we don't

00:10:07.040 go back to Trump's in Biden's out Trump's in Gavin Newsom's out that's a crazy way to run a country

00:10:13.780 But that's the world we live in.

00:10:15.640 No, but wait a minute.

00:10:16.580 I just want to qualify this.

00:10:17.780 The world of...

00:10:18.680 All right, let's see real quick what's going on with Glenn Achilles' heel.

00:10:22.860 I hope that answers your question.

00:10:26.600 Let me see.

00:10:27.280 Let's go to Colt in Texas.

00:10:29.100 Hello, Colt.

00:10:29.920 What a great name only from Texas.

00:10:32.360 Hi, well, actually, that's not my name.

00:10:34.300 It's Todd.

00:10:34.920 He got my last name wrong.

00:10:35.940 But anyway, real quick.

00:10:37.540 Okay, sorry.

00:10:38.020 Benny almost got it right.

00:10:39.360 The subsidy is not tax rate, officer investments.

00:10:42.280 That's not right.

00:10:43.420 Is there a rule by executive order that changes every four years?

00:10:46.280 I'm not saying it's good.

00:10:47.600 I'm just saying that's to be pragmatic and realistic.

00:10:50.120 By the way, NATO is not that important anymore anyway.

00:10:53.820 The focus needs to be on the position.

00:10:55.680 Be careful.

00:10:56.100 You're going to upset me.

00:10:57.100 Because to him, NATO is very important.

00:10:58.580 I told you.

00:10:59.000 You got me fired up.

00:10:59.660 It was built on a false concept in the first place.

00:11:01.000 Tell us what you said about NATO is not important.

00:11:02.480 Because originally he said OPEC is not important.

00:11:04.820 You were saying NATO is not important.

00:11:05.660 No.

00:11:06.260 What we should be focusing on is Japan, Philippines, Australia, Indonesia.

00:11:12.240 it should be a NATO or the Pacific.

00:11:14.540 That's where all the focus should be

00:11:15.640 because that's where the flashpoints are right now today.

00:11:18.640 So you like NATO and you want another one out

00:11:20.420 on the other side.

00:11:21.280 I'm with.

00:11:22.040 Never going to happen.

00:11:23.160 China will never let that happen.

00:11:24.880 Yeah.

00:11:25.460 A lot of people don't know this.

00:11:26.540 China heavily invested in the Vietnam War.

00:11:28.420 Did y'all know that?

00:11:30.760 China heavily invested in Vietnam.

00:11:33.160 And what happened there?

00:11:34.620 No, that's the idea is what is NATO today?

00:11:37.100 Is NATO today what it's supposed to be?

00:11:39.260 It's supposed to be, I mean,

00:11:40.260 Now, understand in the Cold War framework of the pre-1980s or before the 1990s that NATO was essential.

00:11:47.340 It was crucial. 0.52

00:11:48.400 I think NATO just antagonized Russia.

00:11:50.440 So I think NATO caused problems with Russia more than anything.

00:11:53.060 Was Russia ever going to really proactively do something against Europe if NATO wasn't working on that?

00:11:58.440 I'm sorry. That is Putin propaganda.

00:12:00.640 We actually wanted to invite Russia to join NATO. 0.51

00:12:03.280 We wanted Russia to join the civilized world.

00:12:04.940 But that was back when George Bush looked into his eyes and saw Putin's soul or whatever that was.

00:12:08.980 That was actually when Bill Clinton didn't want to join NATO.

00:12:11.220 Well, you know what happened with Bill.

00:12:12.520 But you know what happened with Bill.

00:12:13.720 But what happened?

00:12:16.020 What happened, though?

00:12:16.980 Finish the story.

00:12:19.680 We want to join.

00:12:21.020 Well, you've got to join the club.

00:12:23.820 A little bit of democracy before you join NATO.

00:12:26.380 Actually, NATO's a little unsure about Turkey.

00:12:28.480 You want people on your side in NATO if you're going to hate them.

00:12:31.660 I'm going to listen to this a little bit, guys, 0.86

00:12:32.980 and if they don't go back to the Middle East,

00:12:34.380 I'm going to rewind to where they were talking about OPEC.

00:12:37.020 I have a joint military there.

00:12:38.260 So it's too bad Russia developed the way it did into a dictatorship oligarchy.

00:12:44.320 But you can't put Russia in NATO now.

00:12:46.680 It makes no sense.

00:12:47.720 We're basically at war with each other. 0.54

00:12:49.200 No, but if you put Russia, well, not now.

00:12:51.440 Putin had been offered to join Russia multiple times,

00:12:55.180 and every president swiped him on it.

00:12:57.400 Listen, you know, there's never realistic.

00:13:00.220 I mean, let's face it, Russia was on a path to that direction anyway. 0.66

00:13:03.360 To which path? 0.69

00:13:04.080 To where they are today.

00:13:05.100 I mean, that was Putin's plan from the very beginning.

00:13:06.740 Everybody knows that.

00:13:07.800 No, no. Bullshit. No, no, no, bro. 1.00

00:13:15.260 Literally every president since like fucking Clinton has promised two things to engage in diplomacy with Russia and to not expand NATO borders. 0.99

00:13:24.560 And they've always fucking lied. OK. Putin invading Ukraine was literally the last straw. 0.99

00:13:32.520 But there's also the complete different faction that we were escalating like crazy, except Putin to jump in.

00:13:37.800 People are going to be like, uh, did you guys forget history why we started NATO?

00:13:43.760 No, we started NATO to basically keep funding the military industrial complex.

00:13:50.020 That's the real reason, bro.

00:13:52.180 That's the real reason. 1.00

00:13:54.820 It's a bullshit fucking, oh yeah, it's bullshit. 1.00

00:14:00.580 What's the purpose of NATO? 1.00

00:14:02.260 It was against Soviet Union. 0.91

00:14:04.200 Now that he is part of us, what the hell are we doing spending this money

00:14:08.360 and relying on America to protect NATO?

00:14:12.160 It's a scapegoat to justify arms sales.

00:14:14.620 I'm with John on that.

00:14:16.800 Putin wasn't going to join NATO to be a friend.

00:14:19.540 No, he tried.

00:14:20.780 He tried to join NATO to undermine NATO. 0.74

00:14:23.000 This is Russia before.

00:14:24.580 When Russia went to Putin, then kind of the die was cast.

00:14:27.960 No, they were being sincere because, remember,

00:14:29.700 they were weak after the Soviet Union collapse in the early 90s.

00:14:32.420 so they were definitely amenable to diplomacy back then in the early 1990s i don't think there

00:14:37.620 was a world where russia became like what poland is today because the russian people want freedom

00:14:43.580 democracy all the things they want us like everybody wants us if they get the chance

00:14:48.380 and there was a world where russia would do that okay not really dude yo let me be very honest

00:14:53.800 with y'all bro okay look and i'm saying this as an american that loves this country not everybody 0.55

00:15:00.460 wants to hold on to american ideals i'm fucking sorry bro like like we got to get rid of this 0.80

00:15:06.500 wild solipsism that our way of life is the only way of life and everyone wants to be us 0.96

00:15:11.540 we are so fucking self-centered it's insane okay 0.51

00:15:15.360 that is not true okay most countries even the poorest ones have some degree of freedom for 0.98

00:15:26.080 all the citizens okay come a regular country heaven knows join the european union nato would

00:15:33.040 cease to be that important at that point because there's no russia maybe we'll be fighting against

00:15:36.400 china or something but once the uh 97 currency evaluation happened all but that was it yeah

00:15:42.440 there was there was no 97 that was die was cast and then it was forever remember what james baker

00:15:47.620 said though he said um if the berlin wall comes down we're not going to expand nato a foot past 0.84

00:15:51.400 the berlin wall and you know and they fucking lied i just sent you a chart rob we spoke and they 0.58

00:15:55.980 lied i'm glad he brought that up we lied to russia several times about expanding the thing and look 0.98

00:15:59.700 guys let me be honest with y'all i'm no fucking russia shill let me be clear about this shit 0.94

00:16:03.900 i'm no russia shill but we have to be honest about why russia invaded ukraine we have to be honest 0.98

00:16:10.520 about the maidan revolution we have to be honest about us interfering and putting in a puppet

00:16:14.580 regime with zelensky okay we can't just like go oh who is bad and like not talk about everything

00:16:21.480 beforehand expanded that led up to that well past the berlin wall and not all the way up to ukraine

00:16:28.200 and that was the red line where putin started going to ukraine when we started trying to put

00:16:31.800 missiles into ukraine exactly and so this guy gets it i don't know would that have would russia have

00:16:36.880 gotten aggressive if we can expand it all the way up to its doorstep yeah possibly not definitely 0.97

00:16:42.000 not bro definitely not nato is a defensive what they want to get fucking sanctioned to hell they 0.68

00:16:47.040 knew the risks of invading ukraine at that point but it was literally an existential crisis at that 0.91

00:16:52.000 point alliance acted like an offensive alliance over the last 20 years though it he supports that 0.99

00:16:58.020 no i support i support the expansion of democracy freedom in the european union bro get the fuck 0.85

00:17:04.280 out of here with that yo yo get this neocon out of here bro give this guy the yeet bro it's 2026 0.98

00:17:40.260 another person's aggression, encroachment

00:17:42.380 on your doorstep. I think there's a big

00:17:44.220 difference in democracy between Poland and Russia.

00:17:46.360 What about what happened in Ukraine's governments?

00:17:48.040 They had a democratically

00:17:50.220 elected president, and then we went

00:17:52.220 in and stirred up a riot and had them

00:17:54.100 ousted. Yep! Okay, okay!

00:17:56.560 Ha! Ha! Okay,

00:17:58.280 I'm reloaded! What he's referring to, guys, is the

00:18:00.040 Maidan revolution. Back in 2014, that's what he's

00:18:02.200 referring to.

00:18:04.440 Gorbachev was a

00:18:06.020 parashanker. By the way, just so you know, you have to know his

00:18:08.040 background. So this is not a regular guy.

00:18:09.860 He's one of the only few people in the world that got a bachelor's in national security

00:18:14.140 and a master's in national security.

00:18:15.720 That's his background.

00:18:17.660 Okay, that's a horrible way to say someone is credible.

00:18:21.060 But okay, I digress.

00:18:23.080 This is the argument.

00:18:24.080 This is the argument where now it's being had.

00:18:25.840 And for me, to be honest with you, I don't like the fact that they have gridlocked the president

00:18:30.360 to not be able to threaten NATO that we can't.

00:18:32.280 Okay, do you guys want me to explain what the Mid-On revolution is?

00:18:34.560 Give me a seven in the chat if you do. 0.83

00:18:36.320 Because we're funding it and we're protecting everybody in NATO.

00:18:40.040 Who are the only three countries in NATO that have nuclear weapons?

00:18:44.180 Forget us.

00:18:44.980 Put us out.

00:18:45.780 That's only two others.

00:18:47.000 France and UK.

00:18:47.840 France and UK.

00:18:49.000 So who has the majority of it?

00:18:50.720 We do.

00:18:52.000 They're kind of pushing around their weight, and then when we need them, you don't want to be there for us?

00:18:55.780 I have a problem with that.

00:18:56.600 Well, it was kind of nice that we had control over the nuclear escalation, and Europe is now figuring out, well, baby, Europe wants control of the nuclear escalation.

00:19:03.460 Here's the problem in getting them to pay.

00:19:05.900 The guy who picks up the bill chooses the restaurant.

00:19:08.660 Back when we picked up the bill, we chose the restaurant, we picked the wine.

00:19:11.840 If they're going to pick up the bill, they have rights to do what they want with the money.

00:19:15.140 And you might not like it anymore.

00:19:17.080 That's not how it works.

00:19:18.840 That's not how.

00:19:19.660 You're paying for water.

00:19:21.420 I'm paying for the bone and ribeye wagyu.

00:19:24.200 You ain't paying for nothing.

00:19:25.960 That's true.

00:19:26.580 You paid for that little sorbet.

00:19:28.520 Two to three percent of GDP is couch change.

00:19:32.180 No great empire has spent less than 10 percent of GDP.

00:19:35.380 Pay the minimum.

00:19:35.840 Europe is spaying 50% of GDP on social programs.

00:19:40.360 That's their problem, though.

00:19:42.040 Yeah, it's not our problem, bro. 0.52

00:19:43.420 Yes, yes, but 2% to 3% relative to 50%.

00:19:46.900 Even in the U.S., 2% to 3%.

00:19:48.880 Listen, everybody's got to pull their little red wagon.

00:19:51.060 And if you don't, there's a negotiator that shows up and makes everybody uncomfortable.

00:19:54.400 By the way, go back to that chart again, Rob.

00:19:56.740 Go back to the chart.

00:19:57.740 Up until this Donald Trump guy showed up, nobody was paying their fair share.

00:20:02.660 That's also when this Putin guy showed up and showed up in Ukraine.

00:20:05.360 Do you think that's why they started doing it?

00:20:07.080 Absolutely.

00:20:07.900 All right, here's the mind on revolution, guys.

00:20:09.320 Basically, the revolution, also known as the Revolution of Dignity,

00:20:12.980 took place in Ukraine in February 2014 at the end of the year,

00:20:16.900 a maiden protest.

00:20:18.220 Scores of protests were killed by government forces

00:20:20.020 during classes in the capital of Kiev.

00:20:21.740 Parliament then voted to remove President Viktor Yakunovych,

00:20:25.080 returned to the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine,

00:20:27.300 and called new elections.

00:20:28.280 The revolution prompted Russia to occupy Crimea,

00:20:30.240 starting the Russo-Ukrainian War.

00:20:31.500 A lot of people think this war started in 22.

00:20:33.080 It really started in 2014, Chad.

00:20:35.360 OK, and does this sound like familiar to what they did with Iran? 0.75

00:20:40.860 Stage a coup, do a regime change, put in a government that's more friendly, huh? 0.62

00:20:48.840 Operation Ajax, Operation Bay of Pigs, sound familiar, chat?

00:20:55.440 Operation Rising Lion. 0.99

00:20:58.940 It's like, come on, dude, this is the this is the CIA fucking playbook right here. 0.97

00:21:05.360 Do you think that's why they started doing it? 0.97

00:21:07.160 Why did a flatline under Biden then?

00:21:10.840 They took them about a year to get really serious about defense,

00:21:14.720 and Europe has now woken up with a flatline under Biden.

00:21:19.320 And he was still invading.

00:21:20.600 No, no, no.

00:21:21.200 But this is good.

00:21:21.980 This is good that there's differences here.

00:21:23.400 I like it.

00:21:23.840 Let me get to our next one.

00:21:24.680 So now there's a meeting that happens at the White House

00:21:28.080 with King Charles showing up, okay?

00:21:30.720 And what made this very interesting with the—

00:21:33.000 All right, let's go to Glenn real quick.

00:21:34.440 The subsidy is as follows. Do you remember when the federal government started saying to AT&T and Verizon and P-Mobile, you want to put up that cell phone tower, you have to pay for the electromagnetic airspace. Do you remember that?

00:21:48.940 This is a problem. This is a misunderstanding, and we should correct it.

00:21:54.340 I prefer the president, although I do prefer that he's out in the open, unlike Joe Biden where they're hiding it. I prefer that it's not directed by the president.

00:22:01.680 I prefer that it is something that is just the FCC takes care of because it's a clear violation, but I can't find a violation.

00:22:07.640 They 100% started because of the president.

00:22:09.880 Dude, by the way, guys, FCC launched an investigation into Jimmy Kimmel yesterday.

00:22:14.440 Tell me that's not obvious.

00:22:16.320 You may be able to be able to.

00:22:18.860 So help me out. 1.00

00:22:19.640 Look, bro, the jokes are retarded, but, you know, launching an investigation over jokes is kind of crazy, dude. 1.00

00:22:24.040 Sure, sure. 0.97

00:22:25.620 So let's attack this from three different perspectives, Glenn.

00:22:28.820 first the moral obligations then the regulatory obligations and then what i did for uno all right

00:22:35.140 let's go back to opec here with these guys stricting output the problem is getting the

00:22:38.780 output out through the straits of hormuz so this to the ball conference if you're

00:22:42.760 dot com if you can go to my las vegas august 30 yes see i told you guys his seminar is how he 0.86

00:22:49.420 makes money see what he just promoted that's why he doesn't give a fuck about y'all in chat saying 0.59

00:22:53.120 seven thousand dollars you know i mean i got my seven seven seven that's why bro kisses the wall

00:22:58.720 man uae to leave opec amid hormuz oil crisis all right let's start cooking chat again for those

00:23:06.520 of you just joining the news uae united arab embers left opec what is opec it is the organization

00:23:12.200 to patrol them exporting countries it's an intergovernmental organization and cartel

00:23:15.800 enabling the cooperation of leading oil producing and all dependent countries in order to collectively

00:23:20.120 influence the global oil and market and maximize profit so basically these guys get together they

00:23:26.620 all agree on pricing oil at a certain you know point and releasing certain amounts of barrels

00:23:30.220 to ensure that everyone stays profitable because at the end of the day these oil companies have a

00:23:36.000 fiduciary duty to their investors so they must be as profitable as possible okay is a blow to

00:23:46.520 Saudi Arabia what do you mean is this really happening yes in the middle of everything that's

00:23:51.060 going on yes so the UAE announced Tuesday that would exit the organization of the petroleum

00:23:55.700 exporting countries or OPEC along with wider group of partners known as OPEC effective May 1st

00:24:01.380 in what could be a bloke to control over prices by the group long fed in practice by Saudi Arabia

00:24:06.360 the move reflects the UAE long-term strategic and economic vision involving energy profile

00:24:09.520 read an official statement carried by UAE state news as turmoil I'm watching at 125 speed if you

00:24:14.160 guys need to slow it down guys you can slow it down on the strait of hormuz continue to affect

00:24:17.440 supply dynamics reports that the uae would leave have circulated for years and the country has had

00:24:22.120 disagreements with saudi over oil production quotas president trump has long criticized

00:24:25.880 opec for its role in determining global oil prices calling it a monopoly during his first

00:24:29.600 term in office addressing the world economic form in 2025 trump urged opec countries to lower

00:24:34.060 prices rob do you have a clip on this or no because i see a yellow color here

00:24:37.000 okay so we're good with that jeff where do you stand with the story why is this such a big deal

00:24:42.020 Well, it's a big deal because we got to go back to 2022, first of all, where this really comes from is when OPEC announced in 2022 is oil prices came down off the top.

00:24:49.620 OPEC decided they wanted $100 per barrel oil.

00:24:51.960 They wanted that forever into the future.

00:24:53.060 And they thought, well, OK.

00:24:54.120 No, they didn't decide that.

00:24:55.160 Russia invaded Ukraine.

00:24:56.200 Cut some supply back and get oil prices to firm up.

00:24:58.160 And that's the real reason it went up in 22.

00:24:59.540 That was the big stimuli, because Russia makes an enormous, produces a massive amount of oil for the world.

00:25:04.840 And then they had to sanction Russia.

00:25:06.700 You sanction Russia, can't buy their energy, can't buy their energy.

00:25:09.840 price goes up because now you've effectively removed millions of barrels from the market

00:25:14.920 overnight. Global economy will pick up and will be $100 per barrel oil forever forward. Well,

00:25:19.320 they made a huge mistake there because the economy never really came back and oil prices were soft

00:25:22.360 the entire time. So the UAE and all the other OPEC members were losing money for years because

00:25:26.540 they were trying to reduce production but maintain price. So revenues would largely

00:25:31.100 normalize out and balance out. But instead what ended up happening is with oil prices soften and

00:25:35.440 in pumping less oil um a lot of these gulf states are in big trouble saudi arabia is a big one

00:25:40.620 so the uae is finally saying look we need to correct this mistake you guys they're doing

00:25:43.700 better than others guys because they have a pipeline that goes into the red sea bet on the

00:25:48.100 wrong horse here and we don't want to be beholden to the saudis for continuing to make these

00:25:52.240 decisions especially if they're going to go in the wrong direction so uae which has always had

00:25:55.900 a rivalry with saudi arabia to begin with what they're saying is look this is so here so saudi

00:26:00.540 arabia has a pipeline that goes all the way across the country and pumps right out to the red sea

00:26:03.920 So they're able to circumvent the Strait of Hormuz.

00:26:06.620 But the problem is that they're not able to get that much volume of oil over to that side.

00:26:13.120 So they're still operating at a smaller capacity.

00:26:15.860 This is the last straw.

00:26:16.860 Now, he's talking about a rivalry between UAE and Saudi Arabia.

00:26:19.420 The reason why there's a rivalry there, guys, is because Saudi Arabia and the UAE are competing for the tourist market of the Middle East.

00:26:25.160 OK, Saudi Arabia is, you know, modernizing, legalizing alcohol, opening up clubs, allowing them to drive.

00:26:34.120 And what Saudi Arabia is trying to do is they're trying to compete with Dubai, which has the UAE, and bring more expatriates and tourism in so that they can slowly start to get off and wean off the energy dependent economy that they have.

00:26:45.940 We're done. We don't want to be beholden to the OPEC cartel who has all sorts of non-economic reasons for whatever decisions they make.

00:26:52.240 We'd like to just pump more oil.

00:26:53.320 We want more money flowing into the country.

00:26:55.000 They say they can get $5 million.

00:26:55.840 You can't blame them.

00:26:56.480 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:26:57.260 Not at all.

00:26:57.600 So, I mean, what they're basically saying is we want to be more of a market-based system.

00:27:00.500 We want to respond to market forces, not the political forces next door.

00:27:02.940 John, what do you stand with this?

00:27:04.000 Well, in the short term, the problem is not restricting output.

00:27:06.700 The problem is getting the output out through the Straits of Hormuz.

00:27:08.880 So this isn't going to make a huge difference in the short term.

00:27:11.200 It's a longer-term question.

00:27:12.340 And I get this 1970s feeling, like, you know, get out the bell-bottom jeans and the long hair.

00:27:17.500 When does OPEC matter?

00:27:18.540 We got the U.S. is a huge, we're the biggest oil exporter in the world.

00:27:21.540 That's irrelevant.

00:27:22.880 That's irrelevant that we're the biggest exporter of oil.

00:27:25.360 That doesn't matter.

00:27:26.420 And let me tell you guys why.

00:27:28.120 When you cut off certain countries' ability to sell oil, it inadvertently, or in some

00:27:34.140 cases, very advertently, spikes the price worldwide.

00:27:37.480 Why?

00:27:37.860 Because oil is a global commodity.

00:27:41.720 Also, just because we produce a lot of oil doesn't necessarily mean that our prices are

00:27:46.400 going to drop off precipitously.

00:27:47.780 Why?

00:27:48.000 because you got speculators and then on top of that we can't actually we don't have enough oil

00:27:52.920 to consume and also chip to other places on top of that we are geographically diverse i'm sorry

00:27:59.460 geographically isolated the very thing that keeps us protected from invaders and uh danger is the

00:28:06.020 very thing that makes it difficult for us to effectively sell our oil at a fair price okay 1.00

00:28:11.160 so this whole this whole thing of we make our own oil whatever that's a bunch of fucking garbage 0.99

00:28:17.680 okay let me prove it to you this is how i know it's a bunch of garbage if we were making our 1.00

00:28:22.580 own oil right and it didn't matter why the fuck is brent sitting at 116 right now bro 0.98

00:28:28.920 bro and what i tell you guys we're in that magic number we're getting close to 120 0.96

00:28:34.360 anytime we get closer to 120 you already know trump's about to start freaking out bro

00:28:38.900 russia like them or not they're a big oil exporter venezuela is coming back online

00:28:44.560 Anybody, the North Sea, everybody in the world who has some oil

00:28:46.840 is drilling like crazy right now.

00:28:48.620 So it's not clear to me that they have that much pricing.

00:28:50.300 This 35% to 38% though, 35% to 38% comes from OPEC.

00:28:54.460 Yeah, yeah, of which a small fraction comes from the UAE. 0.82

00:28:57.340 So, you know, great.

00:28:58.340 I'm all for more oil supply, but it's not going to stop the immediate problem.

00:29:01.160 And it's going to be, you know.

00:29:02.120 Yeah, these guys are not addressing the biggest issue here.

00:29:04.320 A little bit.

00:29:04.960 Which I'm going to talk to you guys here in a second.

00:29:07.420 Less oligopoly in the long run.

00:29:09.640 Not clear how much.

00:29:10.040 Who is upset by this the most?

00:29:12.360 Who does this impact the most?

00:29:13.720 Saudis.

00:29:14.040 In what way? Tell me in what way. 0.93

00:29:15.380 It's politics. This is not really about oil, necessarily.

00:29:17.960 I mean, yes, the UAE, like you said, this is a longer-term thing.

00:29:21.000 So, yes, the short-run disruption is the excuse to do it,

00:29:23.260 but it's a longer-term political project.

00:29:25.300 The UAE wants to run their economy the way they want to run their economy.

00:29:27.760 They want the Saudi influence and the OPEC influence on what they're doing.

00:29:30.860 Who does this benefit? Who does this benefit?

00:29:32.920 The United States.

00:29:33.880 Because of the supplies coming to us.

00:29:34.960 And Japan and Europe and China. 0.98

00:29:36.720 Sir, they're so fucking wrong. 0.97

00:29:39.400 They are so fucking wrong for saying this benefits the United States. 0.94

00:29:42.420 I'm going to tell you guys why here in a second. 0.75

00:29:43.860 But I think in the political context, this helps the Trump administration because what they're basically saying is, look.

00:29:48.540 No, it doesn't.

00:29:49.200 There's more to this story.

00:29:50.160 There is much more to this story that we're not getting.

00:29:51.480 So you think the Trump administration was involved in this?

00:29:54.900 Phone calls were made, negotiations?

00:29:56.380 It would be silly not to think that.

00:29:57.740 I'm kind of with you there. 0.84

00:29:58.440 First of all, the UAE goes to Washington.

00:30:00.780 They were going to leave OPEC with or without the United States, dude.

00:30:03.420 Now, maybe they called or consulted, but yeah, this ain't it.

00:30:07.260 The IMF meetings a couple weeks ago.

00:30:08.840 A couple days later, we hear UAE asked for a dollar swap line with the Treasury Department.

00:30:12.140 We were looking for the Federal Reserve.

00:30:12.860 But then suddenly, a couple of days after that, UAE says, hey, guess what?

00:30:15.900 We're out of OPEC.

00:30:17.260 Dude, the fact that they asked for a dollar swipe line is a problem.

00:30:20.800 That's not a plus.

00:30:26.100 That's not a plus.

00:30:27.840 To be financial guarantees.

00:30:29.780 They had to have top level discussions with the Trump administration saying, look, this

00:30:33.500 Iran conflict, we're on your side here because Iran is we're getting hit more than Israel.

00:30:37.560 You know, Iran's our enemy. 0.98

00:30:38.860 We need some security guarantees. 1.00

00:30:40.100 We need some financial guarantees.

00:30:41.360 We need some economic guarantees.

00:30:42.220 They said, oh, by the way, we also probably need a dollar swap line, too.

00:30:44.720 And the Trump administration said, yeah, okay, we understand you're under pressure.

00:30:47.340 We're here to help you, but what are you going to give us?

00:30:48.960 Give us something, too.

00:30:49.900 The UAE said, I'll give you an easy one.

00:30:51.480 We'll get out of OPEC.

00:30:52.440 We want to leave anyway. 0.58

00:30:53.540 So it makes it – the UAE is moving away from the Gulf regime or the status quo in the Gulf and move forward. 0.78

00:30:59.160 They were number three, number four, right? 0.86

00:31:00.780 Number one is Saudi. 0.97

00:31:01.620 Number two is Iraq.

00:31:02.620 Number two – it used to be Iran, number three, and then UAE.

00:31:05.380 But I think UAE passed up Iran by like 100,000 barrels a day, whatever the number is.

00:31:08.640 And even on the OPEC list, I think Venezuela falls as number seven.

00:31:11.120 So it's funny how U.S. has got the control with Venezuela that's on that list. 0.94

00:31:15.580 And now that you get UAE out, there's a lot of leverage here for them. 0.71

00:31:19.100 Do you agree with Jeff's assessment on this? 0.86

00:31:21.220 Yeah, well, we're deep into Middle East politics, which, you know, bring your rug negotiating skills.

00:31:25.560 I kind of want the UAE and Saudi Arabia to get along. 0.57

00:31:27.840 I'd like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to get along and, you know, be unified about Iran.

00:31:33.600 So there's a lot of politics.

00:31:34.700 You know, what are they going to do about Yemen and stuff going on there?

00:31:36.780 So, yeah, what a mess.

00:31:39.040 But competition in oil markets is always good.

00:31:41.560 Right.

00:31:42.000 Yeah, I think the bigger thing, the more concerning thing is that they're dangling out the idea of accepting oil payments and something aside from the dollar.

00:31:47.860 They're talking about, oh, if we don't have enough dollars, we're going to have to take payments in yuan.

00:31:50.580 And it was a couple of years ago, too, that even Saudi Arabia started floating around the idea of taking payments in yuan.

00:31:54.920 And I mean, I don't know how serious or feasible that is, but if that starts happening, then everything falls apart.

00:31:58.920 I mean, I think overall the decoupling of OPEC is a good thing because it's not something that's good for the market.

00:32:03.220 It's just like a controlled agreement between the biggest oil-producing countries to have a collective agreed-upon price of oil.

00:32:08.240 So I think, yeah, the detangling of that is a good thing.

00:32:10.900 But the notion of these countries taking payments and currencies other than the dollar,

00:32:14.880 that's something that we have to fight against vehemently.

00:32:16.880 Did you see the oil tanker arriving in Japan?

00:32:19.220 Did you guys see that?

00:32:20.520 Did you see this or no?

00:32:21.220 No.

00:32:21.580 Oil tanker with 910,000 barrels of Texas light oil at a refinery near Tokyo

00:32:27.360 through the Panama Canal, avoiding the Strait of Hormuz.

00:32:29.600 Watch this here.

00:32:30.160 They're announcing it.

00:32:30.820 Rob, go a little bit lower so I can hear the audio.

00:32:32.540 If you can raise it.

00:32:34.920 Can you translate, Jeff, please?

00:32:38.240 I just want to make sure we heard.

00:32:39.540 Yeah, look at how long it took for them to do that, though.

00:32:41.500 This isn't a flex, bro.

00:32:43.280 The 910. 0.93

00:32:44.580 They had to go from the other side of the world.

00:32:46.840 1,000 barrels.

00:32:47.480 So these are the types of things where you're sitting there saying,

00:32:50.020 wait a minute, like, so you ever wonder, you watch Trump,

00:32:52.500 you're like, why is this guy just sitting?

00:32:53.800 We're going to attack.

00:32:54.400 He doesn't attack. 0.89

00:32:54.760 We're going to attack.

00:32:55.400 I'm telling you, we're going to attack.

00:32:56.660 He's not doing anything.

00:32:57.540 He's got the blockade.

00:32:58.540 He's kind of sitting around.

00:32:59.420 He's like, all right, take your time.

00:33:00.520 How long you can go with it?

00:33:01.600 The big picture, zoom out big picture.

00:33:03.580 Again, the framework here is Cold War 2.0.

00:33:05.860 And what's really happening is the world is realigning.

00:33:08.220 The world is realigning away from, you know, we had an alignment during the Cold War.

00:33:11.620 It kind of went away in the 1990s and 2000s, and, you know, things got mixed up a little bit.

00:33:14.660 But the world is now realigning, and the Trump administration, at the very least, is recognizing the dangers as well as the potential opportunities.

00:33:20.160 And he's trying as hard as he possibly can to realign the world in a way that's more favorable to the United States.

00:33:24.680 So, John, you're right.

00:33:25.480 I mean, we love Saudi Arabia and the UAE to get along.

00:33:30.000 I don't know if that's ever possible.

00:33:31.820 But this is part of, you know, it's another chess piece on the board that says we need to move,

00:33:35.380 we need to break down some of the blocks that have been not necessarily, you know,

00:33:39.720 against the United States in the past.

00:33:41.360 But, you know, OPEC has been a thorn in the side for quite some time.

00:33:44.000 Not tremendous, not huge, not a huge threat, but it has been a thorn in the side.

00:33:47.100 So if you can break OPEC down into pieces and then realign some of those pieces

00:33:50.220 that are more friendly to the U.S. national interest,

00:33:52.340 that is a strategic goal that fits with the Cold War 2.0.

00:33:54.900 That tanker actually is a wonderful visual of the great power of supply in economics and substitution,

00:34:00.760 and all these things we keep saying, you know?

00:34:02.180 Okay, so here's what they're not mentioning.

00:34:04.640 What we're slowly seeing here, guys,

00:34:06.440 is the erosion of the petrodollar, okay?

00:34:09.700 That's what's really going on

00:34:11.040 that no one's talking about.

00:34:13.720 Okay?

00:34:16.500 Though Trump has his grievances with OPEC, right,

00:34:19.600 and the oil mafia,

00:34:21.900 what he doesn't realize is the UAE

00:34:25.880 leaving OPEC and then asking, right,

00:34:30.760 to do this like trade line thing,

00:34:34.520 though it does benefit the United States

00:34:35.920 and, you know, continue to prop up the dollar

00:34:38.360 as the power of the dollar wanes off, 0.98

00:34:42.300 the UAE is not stupid. 0.62

00:34:44.580 The UAE understands for a long-term strategy, 0.94

00:34:47.780 they've discovered that the United States

00:34:49.040 cannot protect them, okay?

00:34:51.160 As you guys know,

00:34:52.720 Iran relentlessly bombed the UAE during this conflict.

00:34:57.140 The UAE got struck the most

00:34:58.980 out of all the other countries.

00:34:59.900 I think somewhere between 1,000 to 2,000 different strikes, okay? 0.99

00:35:04.700 This, these strikes red-pilled Iran and made them realize, oh, shit, the United States 0.99

00:35:12.320 cannot protect us, despite the fact that we thought that they could. 1.00

00:35:16.400 These guys are full of shit. 1.00

00:35:18.880 And basically what happened was the Iranians called our bluff. 1.00

00:35:24.700 They called our bluff. 0.63

00:35:25.680 so now what the uae is doing is what was a short-term sorry a more long-term project

00:35:34.520 to advance an ai to diversify the economy has now become a sprint to diversify the economy

00:35:40.540 and they have realized that they cannot diverse their economy with protection and security

00:35:47.160 the way they want via a u.s umbrella of defense so though on paper it looks like trump is winning

00:35:54.920 Yes, we're still going to prop up our dollar.

00:35:58.120 They're still going to have these trade lines and et cetera.

00:36:00.360 We're working with them.

00:36:01.760 You're missing the point that the UAE is slowly leaving our realm of influence.

00:36:08.560 Because if we can't provide them the protection for which they are, is the only reason they're dealing with us, what benefit is there for them to be allies with us?

00:36:22.200 Think about that, Chad.

00:36:23.160 Now, if, if, think of it this way, right?

00:36:27.540 Let's say, let me give y'all a, let me cook.

00:36:33.720 Let's say you buy, you have a security team. 0.99

00:36:38.900 You pay those guys 10K a fucking day, right? 0.99

00:36:42.080 You pay those guys 10K a day. 1.00

00:36:44.180 And all they have to do is ensure that you never get jumped or attacked.

00:36:49.960 That's all they got to do, right?

00:36:53.160 You pay these guys handsomely. 0.99

00:36:56.100 The one day that you're at the club, right, doing some shit, 0.97

00:37:02.600 you didn't have all your guys there. 0.99

00:37:05.780 And what's worse, one of your guards punched another dude and ran, okay,

00:37:12.420 in the club. 1.00

00:37:13.960 The dude that gets punched sees you and then fucking punches you. 1.00

00:37:17.560 Falcon punch! 1.00

00:37:19.420 But your security that you're paying $10K a day is nowhere to be found.

00:37:22.460 They just ran.

00:37:24.000 They sucker punched a dude and ran.

00:37:26.320 Dude got up seeing red. 0.90

00:37:28.360 He sees you. 1.00

00:37:30.360 It's on like fucking Donkey Kong, bruh. 1.00

00:37:32.480 Falcon punch. 1.00

00:37:34.660 You're getting your fucking ass whooped. 1.00

00:37:36.060 You're just trying to protect yourself. 1.00

00:37:38.280 You're five foot five, a hundred pounds.

00:37:40.300 You got a lot of money, but you can't protect yourself.

00:37:43.520 Would you continue to pay those bodyguards?

00:37:46.500 Oh, let's make it even better.

00:37:49.020 You go home with a black eye. 1.00

00:37:51.360 Your bodyguard says, hey, nigga, okay? 1.00

00:37:55.940 Hello, monkeys. 0.99

00:37:57.320 He's a black guy, by the way. 1.00

00:37:58.320 Him and the other five are just sitting there. 1.00

00:38:01.500 Hey, bro, I know you got punched in the face and all,

00:38:03.620 but hey, bro, you got to learn how to fight, man.

00:38:08.300 Wait, what?

00:38:10.020 I got to learn. 1.00

00:38:11.020 Nigga, I pay you to do that. 1.00

00:38:16.840 Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow. 1.00

00:38:19.160 What time do you need this year?

00:38:20.160 10?

00:38:20.620 All right, well, make it 10.30.

00:38:21.620 We'll see y'all tomorrow.

00:38:22.180 We'll see you tomorrow, bro.

00:38:22.860 Peace. 1.00

00:38:25.080 Nigga leaves with the same bitch 1.00

00:38:26.300 that he was talking to the day before. 1.00

00:38:32.220 Now, let me ask you guys something.

00:38:33.560 Would you continue to work with that security team?

00:38:45.200 Would y'all continue to keep working with that security team?

00:38:50.440 exactly my friends that is precisely what is happening to the gulf states

00:38:58.780 and uh the uae has the biggest black eye of them all so what basically happened was

00:39:07.220 now just to bring this story and more understandable for you guys

00:39:10.020 now this scenario let's add the opec portion so they tell you oh defend yourself whatever

00:39:18.840 Now, you don't want to fire all of them, right?

00:39:21.620 Because you still need security.

00:39:22.740 But what you start slowly doing is you start, you know,

00:39:25.520 looking at other security companies, right?

00:39:27.700 You slowly start to wean off your main bodyguards protecting you,

00:39:32.600 and you start hiring other companies to help you. 0.99

00:39:36.140 Monday, you got your regular niggas. 0.94

00:39:37.640 Wednesday, you got a test run company. 0.99

00:39:39.340 Thursday, you got another company.

00:39:40.560 Friday, you got another company.

00:39:41.740 And you're like secretly testing how each different security team protects you.

00:39:46.720 and you start to realize these other security groups charge less they're nicer they're not 0.91

00:39:53.220 dickheads they're more professional and you're like damn okay i'm gonna stop working with these 0.71

00:39:58.700 guys it was good while i lost it but these guys can't they can't do nothing my friends that is 1.00

00:40:04.860 exactly what's going on with the gulf we were the stupid bodyguards picking on bitches aka israel 0.98

00:40:10.300 and now china and russia are the new security teams that are looking to take that business 0.99

00:40:16.040 That's precisely what's going on in the Middle East

00:40:18.420 If I could give it to you guys in an analogous fashion

00:40:20.540 That makes sense

00:40:21.100 Give me ones if that makes sense dude

00:40:22.520 Give me ones if that all makes sense

00:40:25.560 And after you give me a one

00:40:31.520 Make sure you like the video 0.99

00:40:32.360 Nobody can explain this shit to you guys the way I do 0.99

00:40:34.600 Alright 0.99

00:40:35.060 I'm going to have to self glaze for 10 seconds here

00:40:38.740 Make sure to follow the channel

00:40:39.860 Okay y'all are not going to get content like this anywhere else 0.97

00:40:42.080 explaining this shit complex geopolitical shit in a simple way but this is where the gulf states are 0.98

00:40:50.300 so this is why this this this discussion that they're having is kind of preposterous 0.99

00:40:55.560 because yes in the short term this looks good for trump as usual but in the long term

00:41:01.960 the uae is double dipping they're saying look we're still going to maintain our relationship

00:41:07.420 with the United States, but they're looking for some other form of protection. They're only

00:41:11.680 continuing to deal with us until they find a better guarantor of security, Chad.

00:41:19.360 So this is actually very bad. And not only is the UAE doing this, Saudi Arabia is doing this too.

00:41:24.900 Did you guys know that Mohammed bin Salman, the head of Saudi Arabia, the crown prince, 1.00

00:41:29.140 did you guys know that he brought Zelensky down to teach these niggas how to do drones? 1.00

00:41:32.640 Yeah, yeah, you heard that right 1.00

00:41:36.480 They brought fucking President Zelensky 0.99

00:41:38.480 Down to the Gulf 1.00

00:41:40.040 Who's in the middle of his own war, by the way

00:41:41.680 That we're funding 1.00

00:41:42.680 They brought that nigga down to teach them about drones 1.00

00:41:44.960 Saudi Arabia is leaning into Pakistan for their defense pact 1.00

00:41:52.740 But the problem is that Pakistan's also a great ally of Iran

00:41:59.300 Qatar got bombed by Israel and isn't getting protected now

00:42:01.740 Bahrain, same thing. Kuwait, same thing. The 13 U.S. soldiers that died, died in Kuwait, actually,

00:42:06.140 Chad. The F-15 that got shot down, got shot down in Kuwait, guys. Two F-15s.

00:42:13.260 So in the next year, within the next year or two, look at all the Gulf countries start to

00:42:18.880 slowly move away from U.S. influence and try to find another guarantor of security.

00:42:25.500 The analysis that these guys are giving is extremely short-sighted because obviously

00:42:28.900 say they want to glaze Trump. But the fact that UAE is leaving OPEC is for a far more ominous

00:42:36.780 purpose. Here's another thing for you guys. Canada, another one of our allies, just met with

00:42:49.320 China not too long ago. Me and Cyrus Jansen were talking about this. They didn't like that comment

00:42:53.540 that Trump made about Canada lives because of the United States. Japan is striking a deal. India is

00:42:58.460 doing a deal. All these guys are doing 1.00

00:43:00.480 deals with Iran

00:43:01.660 and maintaining relations with China,

00:43:04.540 etc.

00:43:14.380 Do you guys need me to explain to you what the petrodollar is

00:43:16.480 and why it's important?

00:43:18.620 I realize that some of you guys might be new here.

00:43:22.220 If you

00:43:22.640 don't, we're just going to keep carrying on with the show.

00:43:24.040 because i realized that i'm doing going in the morning so there's probably a bunch of

00:43:29.580 people here right now that never watched me live so might be new

00:43:33.340 okay i'll summarize it quickly the petrol dollar guys was the deal an informal deal

00:43:48.480 that uh richard nixon and henry kissinger struck back in the 1970s

00:43:52.540 where they would guarantee security for the Saudi royal family

00:43:55.540 if they did the majority of their oil transactions in dollars.

00:43:59.240 Why is this important?

00:44:00.240 This is important because since gas or energy, oil,

00:44:04.300 is a global commodity that everyone needs,

00:44:06.620 if every country needs to buy oil from Saudi Arabia using U.S. dollars,

00:44:10.980 that increases the need for the U.S. dollars.

00:44:13.080 So every country needs to maintain U.S. dollars to purchase oil,

00:44:16.120 and that allows us, the United States, as the reserve currency,

00:44:19.320 to print money with almost no consequence.

00:44:22.540 Since we're the world's reserve currency and everyone needs our currency to buy commodities

00:44:25.160 and oil, this puts us in an extremely advantageous position where our debt is fucking cheap.

00:44:32.100 This is a big reason why the United States is so prosperous.

00:44:35.740 This is why we have a debt-based society in the first place.

00:44:41.160 So if we lose the petrodollar, we lose a significant amount of leverage on the world stage.

00:44:48.040 There's four main things that make up American strength.

00:44:51.880 And for all my guys in OSS and all the guys that are diehard supporters,

00:44:54.980 I'm sorry I'm repeating this for y'all, 0.96

00:44:56.320 but I've realized that we've got a lot of fucking new people in here. 0.91

00:45:00.320 Which is a blessing, but can also come off as somewhat redundant. 0.95

00:45:04.020 There's four main pillars that the United States builds its power on.

00:45:06.700 Number one, the petrodollar, like we just discussed.

00:45:11.980 Number two, reserve currency status.

00:45:14.340 This goes beyond oil and goes into the trading of commodities and resources.

00:45:18.660 okay number three swift swift is also extremely important what is swift swift is basically

00:45:28.180 a monetary tracking system where people that are doing deals in u.s dollars are basically

00:45:33.000 subject to oversight so that if you're not a friendly country or you're dealing uh doing 1.00

00:45:37.860 business with a country that's not friendly we can shut your payment processes off and fuck you

00:45:41.820 up financially okay that is what swift is think of it as like a gas like like a toll that you have 0.92

00:45:47.120 to use, right, that the U.S. monitors to do financial transactions internationally, okay?

00:45:52.320 And last but not least, our military might, okay? These four pillars are what make the United States

00:46:01.600 a world power and had us as the unipolar power for so many decades. The petrodollar,

00:46:08.420 reserve currency status, which kind of go hand in hand, swift.

00:46:11.620 that's why our sanctions used to be so crippling and then of course our military might

00:46:18.240 we spend more money on our military than the top 10 countries combined

00:46:21.740 so the fact that one of our one of these pillars is getting weakened

00:46:26.560 via our horrible for the policy in the middle east is a big problem

00:46:31.560 give me eights in the chat if all that makes sense and why this opec um withdrawal

00:46:41.600 from the UAE, though it looks good in the short term,

00:46:44.220 is actually a big problem in the long term. 0.60

00:46:46.220 Them leaving has basically proven

00:46:48.760 that the UAE no longer trusts us

00:46:50.940 as a guarantor of security. 0.99

00:46:57.000 They did the whole trade line shit 0.98

00:46:58.380 to not make it obvious 0.98

00:46:59.180 that they're trying to get out of U.S. influence.

00:47:00.780 They did that just as a hedge,

00:47:02.280 and to play both sides.

00:47:04.280 But the writing's on the wall.

00:47:05.680 They know the U.S. can't protect them,

00:47:06.900 and that is the sole reason 0.93

00:47:07.920 why the UAE had them there before.

00:47:09.420 Like I said when my bodyguard

00:47:10.800 um analogy for you guys all right let's get back to this uh thing if prices and i was pulling my 0.80

00:47:17.900 hair out as i was watching these guys talk about opec and not mention any of this shit go up to

00:47:21.280 a hundred dollars barrel all of a sudden there's a lot of oil lying around that can get rearranged 0.85

00:47:24.640 to different places it can't happen instantly so you go through some months of pain but basically

00:47:29.240 the middle east is shedding itself out of the market in many ways uh you know maybe europe

00:47:33.680 yeah and we all suffer for that we all suffer for that um i'm pretty fucking it's not the 0.99

00:47:38.960 well stinging the world uh and all of a sudden around doesn't go fuck they got a toll booth 0.99

00:47:42.440 system now they're sitting they got a who knew way way they went from an oil production and 0.99

00:48:02.360 clip of what the president said here's the president uh because you know they're talking

00:48:05.400 about well you know we may need to use one and we may use in both besant and the president has

00:48:09.520 some thoughts on this go ahead ron we appreciate it if you have time i want to ask you one more

00:48:13.460 question uh and you know we have allies now in in the middle east maybe some are uh we can maybe

00:48:20.660 count on more than allies in other parts of the world but they're much better allies than nato

00:48:24.380 that i can tell you the uae asking bro nato is like uh sleepy joe for him now at this point every 0.53

00:48:29.860 chance he gets to fucking attack nato he's gonna do it bro is so mad at nato it's hilarious actually 0.84

00:48:34.640 you asked for some type of like bro you didn't consult with anyone from nato you attack with 0.99

00:48:38.920 israel you didn't tell anybody now you want these dudes to come in and back you up come on bro get 0.99

00:48:42.380 out of here bro i hate nato too but we got to be honest here nato is not your fucking private army 0.98

00:48:47.660 that you can mobilize uh whenever you want to fight regime change wars unprovoked okay it's a 0.94

00:48:54.840 defensive pact even though that's a joke too but at least try to trigger um article five at least

00:49:02.320 try, bro. Don't attack them first.

00:49:04.520 Like, what? I don't know if it's

00:49:06.260 a solvency. And Article 5 chat

00:49:08.400 is the article within NATO

00:49:10.380 where an attack on one is considered an attack

00:49:12.240 on all and brings in the entire

00:49:14.360 coalition. It's more of a liquidity

00:49:16.200 problem. And I know we did, Secretary

00:49:18.380 Besson did something with Argentina

00:49:20.260 that worked out. Is there some type of swap

00:49:22.420 possible,

00:49:24.360 currency swap with the UAE to help if

00:49:26.360 they need it? And do you think they would be back?

00:49:28.100 Guys, smash that fucking like button, bro. I didn't sleep all night, man. 1.00

00:49:30.380 I'm in here giving y'all that sauce. Smash the

00:49:32.260 Blake Bunn, if you're watching on Kik, give a follow. 1.00

00:49:36.120 Best political commentary channel on this bitch. 1.00

00:49:38.440 Such a wealthy, or perceived to be such a wealthy country. 0.99

00:49:40.980 Is that under consideration?

00:49:42.660 It is, but it's been a good country.

00:49:44.060 It's been a good ally of ours.

00:49:45.820 And, you know, these are unusual times.

00:49:47.360 They were more than anybody else.

00:49:48.580 And it was shocking because we thought that.

00:49:50.740 Thank you, sweatshirt.

00:49:51.880 They shoot missiles.

00:49:52.400 And Stu Kik in Spanish shipping was up 101.

00:49:54.440 ... at Israel, but not every other country in the area.

00:49:57.100 And, you know, UAE got hit with 1,400 missiles. 0.81

00:50:00.100 Now, fortunately, they had the Patriots, and they had a great defense,

00:50:02.840 and they were able to shoot down most of them.

00:50:04.880 But a lot got through.

00:50:06.740 They hit hard.

00:50:07.960 They were hit the hardest.

00:50:08.900 See, even he admits they got hit hard.

00:50:10.580 Of the group, actually.

00:50:11.920 And they're really led by incredible people.

00:50:14.460 And, yeah, I mean, I'm surprised because they are really rich.

00:50:17.300 You know, they invested.

00:50:18.900 A year ago, I went there, and I got them to invest $1 trillion in the United States.

00:50:23.040 Oh, oh.

00:50:24.640 The president is telling you guys what I said before.

00:50:26.940 I love it. 1.00

00:50:27.660 Fucking chef's kiss, bro. 1.00

00:50:30.100 Do you guys see now why I think this war is retarded and why, like, this is so stupid? 1.00

00:50:36.420 Bro, these dudes invested a trillion dollars in us last year. 1.00

00:50:40.040 Trump only went on, like, one real official visit internationally.

00:50:43.200 Guess where he went? 0.99

00:50:43.980 The fucking Middle East, chat. 1.00

00:50:47.060 He went to the Middle East. 1.00

00:50:48.200 On his first official visit internationally, he went to the Middle East to secure a deal

00:50:54.060 with the Gulf states to support American infrastructure. 0.66

00:50:57.340 And then we start a war. 0.99

00:50:59.020 They get fucked up. 0.99

00:51:00.100 They get bombed, they can't sell oil, they can't sell energy, they can't sell gas, 1.00

00:51:04.340 they can't fucking, you know, import things like the way that they want. 0.85

00:51:11.240 They can't promote tourism the way they want. 0.95

00:51:13.380 Real estate prices are crashing all over.

00:51:15.800 So this is the thanks the Gulf gets for investing in us.

00:51:19.060 That is why they're so pissed off.

00:51:23.740 No cab in my rap shot. 1.00

00:51:25.060 I've been told y'all that Trump struck this deal, and that's why this war is retarded. 0.99

00:51:28.200 a tremendous plant in uh a great state called oklahoma aluminum plant melting plant beautiful 0.95

00:51:35.020 incredible top of the it'll be the best anywhere in the world you know they're very good for this

00:51:38.860 country so yeah if i could help them i would i mean we're helping them much more with what we're

00:51:43.440 doing with the war right there so that's the president what do you think everybody's saying

00:51:45.860 here great state called oklahoma yeah exactly he's just beautiful over there exactly the dollar swap

00:51:51.420 issue i think is a big one um it's not because uae is not wealthy when as john said i mean when

00:51:55.980 You don't have oil coming in.

00:51:57.040 You have no dollars coming in.

00:51:57.980 And the UAE has a lot of dollar commitments through financial channels and other things.

00:52:00.620 And if they don't have the oil revenue coming in, plus investors kind of get cold feet.

00:52:03.820 The UAE especially.

00:52:04.400 Also, the UAE wants to move more into AI.

00:52:07.320 They want to get out of oil, Chad.

00:52:09.860 That's another important thing you guys got to realize, which would also take them out of the need for the United States.

00:52:16.540 Because the United States is also competing in AI.

00:52:18.460 Actually through Dubai, in the Dubai International Financial District, whatever it's called, they have been turning themselves into an international monetary hub, supposed to be the gateway to the global south, and funded and operating in U.S. dollar denomination, other currencies too, but primarily U.S. dollar denomination.

00:52:33.460 So a shortfall of dollars coming in is a big problem for the UAE, regardless of their wealth or oil status, or even the amount of reserves that they hold, because the market is saying we're a little bit nervous about what's going on over there.

00:52:43.060 We're nervous about the fact that UAE is right in the middle of the conflict.

00:52:45.700 Guys, smash the like button. Let's get to 1,000 likes.

00:52:48.100 Without the oil revenue and dollar back.

00:52:49.540 Sitting at only $300 or $1,200 of you guys in here.

00:52:51.640 They could get into a situation where if the marketplace gets cold feet

00:52:55.100 and starts to pull back on dollar funding,

00:52:56.760 it leaves them in a situation not unlike 2009,

00:52:59.660 where the UAE was at the forefront of a second crisis

00:53:01.400 that actually erupted afterward.

00:53:02.460 So the dollar swap is about liquidity, as John pointed out.

00:53:04.600 It's not really about wealth.

00:53:05.880 It's about the fact that the conflict is really squeezing them pretty hard.

00:53:08.100 We talked about this earlier, and John, I want to come to you with this,

00:53:09.920 is that this isn't the first time somebody left OPEC, right?

00:53:13.780 Qatar left, $19.

00:53:15.720 Ecuador left, $22. 0.87

00:53:17.480 Angola left 24, and then Indonesia left and came back, 0.93

00:53:19.480 and they left. 0.82

00:53:19.840 They suspended.

00:53:20.280 They're not with them anymore.

00:53:20.780 They left because they weren't pumping enough oil.

00:53:23.160 Ecuador just didn't have enough oil.

00:53:24.180 They're not major players.

00:53:25.220 So it's not like the first time.

00:53:26.100 When you think about NATO, France left once in 66 or something,

00:53:28.320 and then they came back.

00:53:29.180 It was like a quick thing.

00:53:29.920 It wasn't even a major thing.

00:53:31.060 NATO, no one's ever left NATO.

00:53:32.460 It's a whole different thing.

00:53:33.480 Do you think that now that Qatar and UAE are out in the last seven years,

00:53:37.020 there are other players that may be leaving and following their lead?

00:53:39.400 What do you think, John?

00:53:40.020 Well, I think the whole thing has become less and less important.

00:53:43.260 As you saw, they said, we want oil $100 a barrel.

00:53:45.360 Oh, well, it goes to $65 a barrel.

00:53:47.000 Hex said this live?

00:53:47.880 Okay.

00:53:48.620 So much for your vaunted power to do the price of oil.

00:53:50.580 And the swap line, the crucial thing that it's doing is the UAE pegs its currency to dollars.

00:53:55.020 So if you're going to peg your currency to dollars every now and then, people say, hey, I want my dollars.

00:53:58.280 And you need that temporary liquidity to support the currency.

00:54:00.800 That's the major feature of what's going on.

00:54:02.740 I like people pegging to the dollar.

00:54:05.380 Yeah, that's not going to last forever, though.

00:54:07.040 All right, let's jump on on Pete Hexbreath.

00:54:10.020 I think what our troops have demonstrated to the world over the last 15 months are a reflection.

00:54:13.700 Hold on, let's see if I can get a better quality for you guys.

00:54:17.460 By years of America last policies, resulting in a diminished ability.

00:54:22.440 I hate to say it, but CNN always has the best production quality, bro.

00:54:25.540 Jack strength.

00:54:26.600 Them and Al Jazeera.

00:54:27.900 Under the previous administration, we were focused on offshoring and outsourcing. 0.99

00:54:31.840 Even though they're trash. 0.87

00:54:34.040 Riddled with cost overruns and degraded capabilities. 0.99

00:54:37.100 Under the leadership of President Trump, our builder in chief,

00:54:42.240 We are reversing this systemic decay and putting our defense industrial base back on a wartime footing.

00:54:49.280 If you ask anyone at our Pentagon, urgency informs everything we do.

00:54:54.180 We didn't vote for being on war footing, Pete.

00:54:57.600 What?

00:54:58.340 We're building a military that the American people can be proud of.

00:55:01.360 One that instills nothing less than unrelenting fear in our adversaries and the utmost confidence in our allies.

00:55:07.840 We fight to win in every scenario.

00:55:12.240 The $1.5 trillion—

00:55:13.940 Yeah, we could create confidence in our allies that don't want to join us in this war.

00:55:17.720 The $1 trillion FY27 budget put forward by the president

00:55:21.300 will build upon the historic $1 trillion FY26 top line

00:55:26.480 and continue to reverse the four years of underinvestment

00:55:30.780 and mismanagement of the Biden administration.

00:55:34.400 The $1.5 trillion budget will ensure the United States continues to maintain

00:55:38.760 the world's most powerful and capable military as we grapple with a complex threat environment

00:55:44.500 for lower enlisted across multiple theaters. Not to mention, this budget also includes

00:55:50.560 a historic troop pay increase, 7 percent, for lower enlisted, and the budget eliminates

00:55:57.300 all poor or failing barracks. Quality of life for our troops is front and center in this budget as

00:56:04.620 well by supercharging our industrial capability and transforming how the department does business

00:56:11.680 we're restoring american commercial dominance at a pace unseen in generations transforming the

00:56:19.940 defense industrial base from a broken slow-moving system of the past we have flipped the pentagon

00:56:27.040 acquisition process slow moving from a bureaucratic model to a business model we have flipped one

00:56:32.540 Pentagon acquisition process from a bureaucratic model to a business model, 180, decisively

00:56:42.280 moving from an acquisition environment paralyzed by bureaucratic red tape into an outcomes-driven

00:56:48.740 organization focused on delivering the most at cost, at scale, for taxpayer dollars.

00:56:55.420 over the past year through historic multi-year procurement agreements smart business deals for

00:57:03.000 things like critical munitions and capabilities we've sent an unambiguous demand signal

00:57:08.900 to industry partners to build more and build faster just so you guys know he's testifying to

00:57:14.700 get um an increased budget request that's what he's there for chat and we know why for the war

00:57:20.720 the result the war that we won that was almost over remember that war yeah that one

00:57:25.420 He's trying to get a budget increase for that.

00:57:27.640 There's been a surge, a revitalization of our great...

00:57:31.540 We went from no new wars to let's get a new war and pay for it.

00:57:34.820 ... factories and a massive reinvestment in the skilled American workers

00:57:39.800 who serve as the industrial muscle behind our warriors.

00:57:44.860 Let me briefly provide you with some concrete high-level metrics

00:57:49.300 of what's been accomplished over just the past few months.

00:57:52.360 These are announced new facilities and investments to support American warfighters, and I would refer you to the screen.

00:58:00.900 The department has helped stimulate more than 250 private investment deals in 39 states, in 180 cities, and 150 companies worth more than $50 billion.

00:58:12.980 It's resulted in 280 new or expanded facilities worth 18 million new square feet of American manufacturing.

00:58:22.360 and more than 70,000 new jobs in defense military industrial complex these this is the key part of

00:58:30.760 this these 50 billion dollars of investment in new plants new assembly lines and new factories

00:58:38.760 are private investments not taxpayer dollars by changing our departments transforming our

00:58:47.160 our department's business model.

00:58:49.440 American companies are investing in America

00:58:51.880 with their own money, their own capital.

00:58:55.340 A historic demonstration of American manufacturing

00:58:58.440 and defense revitalization.

00:59:00.180 All again with their capital, not Uncle Sam's.

00:59:05.280 This has never been done before.

00:59:07.300 Okay, let's assume the U.S. taxpayer

00:59:08.800 isn't paying for this war.

00:59:09.940 It's still an L, dude.

00:59:11.800 It's still an L.

00:59:13.880 Regardless of whether private investors fund it or not,

00:59:16.260 still an L.

00:59:17.160 and is long overdue. We are focused on international wars versus domestic wars.

00:59:22.280 From a bureaucratic model to a business model, anyone on the outside looking in at what's been

00:59:28.020 done inside this Pentagon in the last 12 months cannot deny the fundamental transformation at

00:59:34.380 speed, at scale to innovate and meet the threats of today and tomorrow. These investments equal

00:59:40.780 great things for America, American families and American workers and help to ensure that our

00:59:46.360 warfighters are able to defend the American dream and all American made. Together with the help of

00:59:52.600 the policies, updates, and appropriations passed by Congress, President Trump's War Department has

00:59:58.380 begun to turn the lights back on in manufacturing towns across this country and once again

01:00:03.580 forging a lethal arsenal of freedom. Where critical supply chains are threatened, the War Department

01:00:09.860 has acted decisively to inject capital, stimulate production, and prevent adversarial exploitation

01:00:16.060 we are firing up the american economic engine and at every level of our defense industrial base

01:00:21.560 every policy we pursue every budgetary item we request told you guys military industrial complex

01:00:27.460 undefeated bro serves to ensure the department remains laser focused on increasing lethality

01:00:33.100 and survivability one like patriot missile interceptor guys is like millions of dollars

01:00:37.200 like three million ability of our three to four million some insane number our forces from the

01:00:42.100 front lines to the factory and the drones that iran shoots is like 10 to 20 000 like what

01:00:47.620 this is a historic budget as you said mr chairman this is a fiscally responsible budget

01:00:56.720 this is a war fighting budget and speaking of war fighting a topic the topic of iran i'm sure

01:01:25.420 has had the courage to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, and he's ironclad in that.

01:01:32.100 We have the best negotiator in the world driving that deal. The biggest challenge,

01:01:37.040 the biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless feckless and defeatist words

01:01:44.700 of congressional democrats and some republicans two months in i remind you two months in this

01:03:01.860 that God would continue to watch over our troops in harm's way, and those that have fallen are

01:03:07.260 always in our memory, and we fight to ensure their legacy. Look forward to answering the

01:03:12.220 questions of this committee. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. General Cain, you're recognized.

01:03:17.500 Thank you, Chairman Rogers, Ranking Member Smith, and members of this committee. Thanks for having

01:03:21.920 me today. I'm honored to be here today alongside the Honorable Pete Hegseth and Honorable Jay

01:03:27.120 Hurst to testify in the president's fiscal year 2027 budget. I'm grateful for the opportunity to

01:03:33.580 testify today and I'm thankful. This is the number two guy for armed forces basically. For your

01:03:38.340 continued partnership in support of our war fighters defending the homeland and our interests

01:03:43.700 around the world. It's a privilege to speak with you today about the foundation of America's

01:03:49.040 strength, our 2.8 million members of our joint force, and I'm continually inspired by our soldiers,

01:03:56.060 sailors, airmen, Marines, guardians, and Coast Guard guardsmen, and our civilians standing the

01:04:02.740 watch for our nation, supported always by their families. Each and every one of them could have

01:04:08.340 chosen, and I want to emphasize my commitment to this committee in the Congress that I will always

01:04:13.040 follow General Marshall's steadfast example by providing clear and candid nonpartisan military

01:04:19.700 advice and working together with our civilian leaders to ensure that our military does the

01:04:26.500 things that we must do, being prepared to deter and defend our nation and, if called upon, win

01:04:33.120 our wars around the world. America's Joint Force is operational at its core, purpose built for the

01:04:40.460 realities of a complex and ever-changing world. We are organized, trained, and equipped to execute

01:04:47.080 the most demanding missions across the globe with unrivaled precision. Over the past year,

01:04:53.540 our warfighters have consistently demonstrated exactly what it means to be the most capable,

01:05:00.160 adaptable, and most professional military force in the world. Our shared goals are to ensure the

01:05:09.040 joint force maintains the strategic initiative and advantage, projecting American power and

01:05:16.680 responding to global challenges on our nation's terms. During operations Rough Rider, Midnight

01:05:23.160 Hammer, Southern Spear, Absolute Resolve, and Epic Fury, the joint force executed globally integrated

01:05:30.600 operations and missions alongside our interagency and international partners. And once our civilian

01:05:37.880 leaders made a decision we make those missions our own demonstrating the unmatched capability

01:05:43.980 to seamlessly synchronize our capabilities across all domains from the seabed to cislunar space

01:05:52.500 and higher we're able to accomplish these complicated missions and work so yeah so you're

01:05:59.800 gonna you guys gonna notice this trend a lot okay when you're when you're doing war coverage like 0.99

01:06:03.520 you got multiple people that cover this war you got military glazers like idiots like um max 0.99

01:06:11.140 afterburner who are retarded and don't know anything about the war strategically they just 1.00

01:06:14.800 glaze capability technology using classified shit that nobody else has being able to do things in a 0.99

01:06:21.260 certain way that other countries can't then you got the guys that are pragmatic pragmatics like 0.99

01:06:25.220 myself they're like yo this war is stupid it doesn't matter if you win it militarily and then 1.00

01:06:28.520 you got hardcore zionist morons that no matter what you say they're gonna say we need to nuke 1.00

01:06:32.720 iran israel first you know let's go we we gotta we gotta get rid of the ayatollah you know they 1.00

01:06:38.960 shout that to america that's israel like these are the three camps really that exist right now

01:06:43.000 with with this whole conflict because we draw from a deep enduring reservoir training professionalism

01:06:50.360 and commitment our operational tempo is high but we're designed to sustain and rebuild our strength

01:06:57.900 continuously. We build readiness every day. We train professionals every day. We learn and sharpen

01:07:04.720 our edges every day by being learning leaders. And I am incredibly proud to be a member of this

01:07:10.960 joint force team, proud of the team, and proud of the commanders. As the chairman and the ranking

01:07:16.620 member both said, we live in complex and dynamic times where global risk is scaling. The complexity

01:07:25.020 of today's modern battlefields demands our constant adaptation, innovation, and partnership

01:07:32.020 with this Congress. As a joint force, we're up to the challenge. We're defense industrial base

01:07:37.740 and the national industrial base, ensuring our military is ready, securing our military

01:07:43.280 advantage. Within the joint force, the uniform side, our priorities remain the same, ensuring

01:07:49.780 our war fighters are properly armed, globally integrated, and ready while always taking care

01:07:55.600 of our people. And what truly sets our people apart from other militaries around the world

01:08:01.540 is the 1.8 million members, enlisted members of our force, who maintain readiness beyond

01:08:09.000 reproach and are the envy of every other nation. I'm joined today by the senior enlisted advisor

01:08:16.180 to the chairman, Dave Isom, who's here with me today representing the 1.8 million members of

01:08:22.380 the enlisted force. He is a great American, not an American. While we face dynamic and a dangerous

01:08:30.040 world, I have the absolute trust in the extraordinary men and women who come and

01:08:36.840 volunteer to serve our nation within our joint force. They execute the missions quietly every day

01:08:43.980 And coupled with the American spirit, outthink, outcompete, and relentlessly innovate, we will maintain our decisive edge, but doing so requires your partnership.

01:08:56.400 We stand ready today to answer our nation's call.

01:08:59.920 It remains the honor of a lifetime for me to serve alongside the members of this joint force.

01:09:05.200 and as we sit here today in this important hearing i ask us all to remember our deployed

01:09:10.860 teammates who are out there right now doing our nation's business and wait may we again

01:09:16.320 always remember our fallen who've given us the gift of an incredible example and their family

01:09:22.320 members who continue to show us what courage and grace and yeah they should have never died in the 0.90

01:09:26.920 first place which is why this is stupid it look like they should never been there in the first 0.93

01:09:30.420 place they should never you know gotten bombed and killed in the first place thank you a lot of 0.98

01:09:34.840 Freedom Tour and the great work the department's doing to help enhance our capacity in our defense

01:09:40.780 industrial base. Could you tell us how last year's reconciliation bill helped enable what you have

01:09:48.580 been able to do and what you think this year's FY27 budget request will do? Yeah, one chance if

01:09:54.120 you're in chat or Josie, can you guys do me a favor? Can you guys quickly scrub through Glenn

01:09:57.320 Beck's last stream and tell me if he talked about the Middle East? Somebody from the OSS trusted 0.95

01:10:02.460 remember if one of you guys can just go on glenn beck's uh thing and just super chat what he said

01:10:06.540 if he uh covered a run at all for it well mr or the middle east chairman thank you for your

01:10:12.660 leadership and your support on that topic i mean coming into this position we fell in on a lot of

01:10:17.480 the reforms you and this committee have been advocating for for a long time looking for

01:10:21.240 somebody that was willing to run with them and our department uh have run with those and that

01:10:25.940 reconciliation bill last year was kind of the rocket fuel to initiate uh president trump's

01:10:31.920 priorities in this department so we fell in on an apartment that was focused on a lot of the wrong

01:10:35.760 things going in the wrong direction uh and with reconciliation we're able to put you know 22

01:10:41.720 billion in shipbuilding 22 billion into golden dome 25 billion into munitions established drone

01:10:47.480 dominance which we're continuing to do this day in this next budget funds so getting in front yeah

01:10:52.760 drone dominance like getting your drone shot down that are worth millions of dollars over around so

01:10:56.720 they can reverse engineer it they didn't talk about that one though of that budget cycle which

01:11:00.600 had been notoriously unpredictable coming out of the continuing resolution of FY25.

01:11:07.300 To fund this and then a historic bill in FY26 laid the groundwork for this historic budget

01:11:14.140 to ensure that we're not coming at a cold start here.

01:11:17.020 We came into this administration.

01:11:19.100 Reconciliation was a beautiful tool.

01:11:21.140 We were able to use that through that one big, beautiful bill to fund the priorities

01:11:24.760 of this department.

01:11:25.880 We spent $4 billion on barracks, started immediately getting after the quality of life

01:11:30.080 of barracks. Because of the austerity of the Biden administration, we traded off of maintenance,

01:11:35.140 traded off of quality of life to try to fund other things operationally. This budget stops

01:11:40.820 that cycle and both invests in sustainment and modernization, which is something that's

01:11:46.460 critically important. So without that reconciliation bill, I think, Mr. Chairman, we'd be in a very

01:11:50.260 different place. So thank you for that. Great. Well, as you are aware, the expansion of the

01:11:55.040 Defense Industrial Base as the principal focus of this year's NDAA. So in addition to enacting this

01:12:01.120 budget request that's been submitted, we want to work with you to enhance the department's

01:12:06.640 statutory authorities to improve the capacity of our D.I.B. What additional changes in law,

01:12:13.100 such as the additional multi-year block by authority, would you recommend that we pursue

01:12:18.740 in this year's NDAA? A few aspects of the acquisition transition transformation that's

01:12:24.740 been undertaken by Under Secretary Duffy in acquisitions and sustainment, so there are some

01:12:28.540 aspects of that we'd like to codify even more. But you mentioned it, multi-year procurement is

01:12:33.680 incredibly important and one of the most important parts of this bill. When this committee and this

01:12:38.780 Congress funds those things, companies are already breaking ground on tens of billions of dollars of

01:12:44.640 new plants. You name the, we've got 14 in our ammunition council that we're focusing on certain

01:12:51.760 ammunitions, there are 14 that are critical.

01:12:54.180 You know, PAC-3s, SM-3s,

01:12:56.260 SM-6s, THADs, Patriots,

01:12:58.100 Tomahawks, AMRAMs,

01:13:00.180 JASMs, 0.96

01:13:01.300 Prisms, you name them.

01:13:03.740 We were building them at too slow

01:13:05.800 and too low a level. Now the companies

01:13:07.940 are going to pay for those factories and

01:13:09.880 those production lines, and when

01:13:11.440 Congress gives those five to seven

01:13:13.820 year demand signals, they'll

01:13:15.760 then fund it, not just, hey, can we

01:13:17.760 get 10 more per month,

01:13:19.800 but can we 2x, 3x, 4x,

01:13:21.760 the production uh pay for it now and the companies invest uh accordingly so it's been a

01:13:27.680 a critical aspect of some of what we've done so far but we need more of those five to seven year

01:13:32.500 uh investments great general kane what does the 1.5 trillion let me reach out real quick um

01:13:39.660 b swift thank you hey my when you go live in the morning it makes the whole work day informative

01:14:46.920 Project forces and secure our interest around the globe.

01:14:52.720 Chairman, you know, in my in my view, this this represents a historic down payment on future security.

01:15:01.160 We're spending about twenty five billion dollars on Operation Epic Fury.

01:15:05.300 Most of that went on what?

01:15:07.560 Either a cost estimate coming to us anytime soon or be a specific supplemental request.

01:15:14.560 Thank you for that question.

01:15:16.620 So approximately at this day, we're spending about $25 billion on Operation Epic Fury.

01:15:21.440 Bruh, $25 billion?

01:15:23.880 Most of that.

01:15:24.480 Probably way more than that.

01:15:25.460 As a munitions, there's part of that.

01:15:26.940 It's obviously O&M and equipment replacement.

01:15:29.260 We will formulate a supplemental through the White House that will come to Congress once we have a full assessment of the cost of the conflict.

01:15:35.660 So you're saying the full cost at this point is $25 billion?

01:15:39.040 Yeah, that's our estimate for the cost.

01:15:40.380 It's way more than that, bro.

01:15:42.340 It's way more than that.

01:15:43.240 that's probably just like raw hardcore cost of like doing things but that doesn't account for 0.95

01:15:47.960 resources used fuel personnel all that shit contractors okay interesting because we i'm

01:15:54.720 glad you answered that question because we've been asking for a hell of a long time and no one's 0.91

01:15:57.560 and keep in mind we got all our bases destroyed so those are going to need repairs if we even do

01:16:01.260 it um so if you could get those details over to us that that would be great um mr secretary you

01:16:06.940 mentioned the the nuclear aspect of iran and the war and it is worth noting that every president

01:16:12.540 prior to this one, including President Trump in his first term, also prevented Iran from getting

01:16:17.220 a nuclear weapon without actually having to go to war in Iran. So we need to keep that in mind.

01:16:22.440 But also, since the war started, Iran's nuclear arsenal has not been weakened in any way. And at

01:16:29.360 the moment, in negotiations, what Iran is saying, basically pay us to open up the strait. That's

01:16:35.540 their position, which is completely untenable. I agree. No, it's open up the, lift the blockade.

01:16:42.380 It's worth noting, of course, that the strait was...

01:16:44.260 And end the war. Then we can negotiate.

01:16:45.900 ...open before the war started. Now we're negotiating to get back to status quo.

01:16:49.780 Yep. And if you're fighting to get back to status quo, you lost.

01:16:54.880 Good job, Mr. Smith. 0.67

01:16:56.320 Oh, and Iran's most recent offer is to say we'll talk about nukes later.

01:17:01.040 So what is the plan to... 0.99

01:17:02.380 Dude, tell the full fucking offer. Come on, man. What's up with everybody being retarded? 0.99

01:17:07.100 Denied. 1.00

01:17:07.880 The official offer was this.

01:17:09.220 U.S. lift blockade, U.S. end the war, then we can handle the nuclear discussion after those

01:17:15.580 prerequisites are met. Then we'll come to the table to discuss uranium.

01:17:22.120 But once again, they are not going to stop enriching, Chad. Okay? They are not going

01:17:25.920 to stop enriching. The U.S. wants them to completely stop enriching. They're not going

01:17:28.740 to do that. According to international law, it's their right, sovereign right as a nation

01:17:35.080 to enrich uranium for a civilian nuclear program into an improvement in the nuclear situation

01:17:41.300 because we haven't gotten there yet. Play it out for us. How does that happen? How does it actually

01:17:46.760 lead to that result? Well, I would take issue with the premise of the question that nothing

01:17:51.100 was done. Operation Midnight Hammer was a very effective. I didn't say nothing was done. I said

01:17:56.040 in this war. Ultimately, well, this is this under this administration, unlike other administrations,

01:18:01.440 which cut bad deals and pallets of cash

01:18:03.600 with no ability to oversee whether Iran

01:18:05.580 is actually pursuing a nuclear program 0.98

01:18:07.360 that's bullshit 0.99

01:18:08.740 are you serious dude 1.00

01:18:11.640 bro it's no wonder you 0.99

01:18:13.540 fucking quoted Pulp Fiction while giving a sermon 0.99

01:18:15.340 dude what is the 1.00

01:18:17.540 JCPOA

01:18:18.220 like what

01:18:19.900 no oversight 0.99

01:18:22.220 this guy's gotta be fucking drunk right now 0.99

01:18:25.240 did he really just say that under oath 1.00

01:18:26.980 are you fucking kidding me 0.97

01:18:31.440 cash with no ability to oversee whether iran is actually pursuing a nuclear program 0.98

01:18:36.000 which is where we're going to litigate jcpoa or the iran deal our view the president's view 0.99

01:18:41.180 bro what the fuck is this are you serious 0.99

01:18:51.700 this is insane that was a very bad deal okay it gave them a bunch of money up front the future 1.00

01:19:04.540 that was their money that money we gave them was theirs you talked about that we froze about 0.93

01:19:09.140 negotiated deals funded allowed them to fund their proxies and spread hamas and hezbollah all around 0.75

01:19:14.440 the region build up nuclear capability they were already around because of israel what are we going

01:19:19.380 to do president trump has been clear-eyed from the killing of qasem sulemani to the pulling out

01:19:24.020 of the iran deal to midnight hammer and now to this effort to recognize that you have to stare

01:19:29.680 he pencil thank you for the gifted down this kind of enemy who's hell-bent on getting a nuclear

01:19:33.780 weapon and get them to a point where they're at bro if they were hell-bent on getting a nuclear 0.79

01:19:38.140 weapon they would have had one fucking years ago bro like this is so this is so frustrating man 0.93

01:19:43.020 it is so frustrating how he just literally lies to you guys on camera all day about a nuclear 0.98

01:19:47.040 weapon bro the table it's like dude didn't we not just do midnight hammer and destroy the nuclear

01:19:51.600 program so why are you saying they're trying to get a nuclear weapon now if we push them back in

01:19:54.920 their stone age giving it up uh in a way that so they haven't ever have it so they haven't broken

01:20:00.180 yet okay we haven't gotten there yet for all of the well their nuclear facilities have been

01:20:05.100 obliterated underground they're buried and we're watching them 24 7 so we know where any nuclear

01:20:11.160 material reclaiming my time for watching a second here we had to start this war you just said 60

01:20:18.260 days ago because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat now you're saying that yep trump was saying 0.98

01:20:25.320 for like two or three weeks that they're gonna get a bomb he took the netanyahu fucking punchline 0.97

01:20:30.320 it was completely obliterated they had not given up their nuclear ambitions and they had a 0.98

01:20:35.220 conventional shield of thousands of operation midnight conventional shields oh no the marco 0.99

01:20:40.500 rubio talking point oh wow bro i swear to god these guys get a script look at this shit chat 0.99

01:20:46.540 you can't make this shit up dude i feel like i'm fucking you know ultra instinct 1.00

01:20:52.560 he really said this dumb shit hi it's marco rubio 1.00

01:20:56.860 it could have started it would have been terrible we put that in 1.00

01:21:00.520 just a few years ago they were at one two percent hold on that's not what it is

01:21:10.500 many americans are asking why did the united states have to attack iran now but why the attack

01:21:24.480 now well what was iran trying to do iran was trying to build a conventional shield in essence

01:21:30.340 have so many missiles have so many drones that no one could attack them and they were well on their

01:21:35.520 And they had a conventional shield of thousands of Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing of Southern

01:21:48.520 Remix!

01:21:53.420 Conventional shield of thousands of Operation Midnight

01:21:59.820 missiles have so many drones build a conventional shield in essence have so many missiles

01:22:07.040 have so many drones that no one could attack them and they

01:22:10.460 Chad this is why nobody wants to debate me on this topic bro 0.99

01:22:19.240 I'm undefeatable on this topic chat on the stupidity of this war I am un-fucking defeated 0.99

01:22:26.020 on this shit dude i know the fucking time stamps to show you guys bro it's at that point now 1.00

01:22:31.860 moment all off the top of the head nothing of substance it was missing the same place we were 1.00

01:22:37.900 bar for fucking bar with marco rubio dude before so much so their facilities were bombed and 0.88

01:22:44.100 obliterated their their ambitions continued and they're building a conventional shield let me try 0.98

01:22:49.780 again the north korea strategy you know this very well the north korea strategy was use conventional

01:22:55.960 missiles to prevent anybody from challenging them so they could slow walk their way to a weapon 0.87

01:23:00.800 president trump and then they got their weapon and what happened we didn't do shit uh iran at 0.99

01:23:05.300 its weakest now kim jong-un is firing off missiles bored as fuck wishing he can be involved 0.99

01:23:08.960 moment took an action to ensure in a way that only the united states of america could do 0.98

01:23:14.040 with our israeli partners and yet to ensure their conventional shield was uh the reason the main

01:23:20.400 reason why we didn't hit north korea is because uh israel cares more about iran that's why if

01:23:25.660 If North Korea was a threat to them, like Iran is, we would have bombed North Korea, too. 0.64

01:23:30.000 One other question, if I could get to it. 0.81

01:23:32.040 So on Ukraine, a year plus ago, your advice, the president's advice was Ukraine had no cards to play. 0.73

01:23:39.360 They should go cut the best.

01:23:41.220 Yep. He said that shit back in February of last year. 1.00

01:23:43.340 Possible deal they could. 1.00

01:23:45.200 That's where him and Zelensky were fighting.

01:23:47.060 That was wrong.

01:23:48.360 What did you miss?

01:23:49.340 What did you miss about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that you didn't see that Ukraine was going to be capable of doing what they've done in the last 14 months?

01:23:57.380 What we didn't miss, and we're here in this committee, is that Joe Biden, with no accountability, gave hundreds of billions of dollars of our weapons to Ukraine to an outcome that never would have happened if President Trump was the president.

01:24:08.720 So he pulled out our, you guys don't talk about that.

01:24:11.560 Ultimately, President Trump believes there should be a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

01:24:15.860 But you didn't expect Ukraine to be where they're at right now.

01:24:18.100 I'm asking you. 1.00

01:24:18.980 Outside Logic, O Slash.

01:24:20.520 Forrest also says, send a super chat earlier,

01:24:22.660 but not sure if you saw it.

01:24:23.760 Within Israel before and during the war,

01:24:24.940 I have interception.

01:24:25.860 I have interception missed videos

01:24:27.840 and aftermath videos also did have a bit of me

01:24:30.240 sticking on O Slash in the wall.

01:24:31.760 Oh, that's funny.

01:24:33.620 We got some spies over there and the OSS spies.

01:24:35.900 Yo, just don't get caught by Mossad, bro.

01:24:37.680 Just from a strategic standpoint,

01:24:40.080 I think the Ukrainians have shown great courage

01:24:42.440 and I appreciate that Europe is now paying

01:24:44.760 for any weapons that we provide.

01:24:46.900 All right, I yield back.

01:24:47.740 Thank you.

01:24:48.840 All right.

01:24:49.420 Now, I want to remind you.

01:24:50.460 Rose, Duncan, and Dodgen.

01:24:51.580 Everybody wants to get their questions, so we are going to be sticking strictly to the five-minute rule today.

01:24:57.320 So with that, I recognize the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Wilson.

01:25:01.700 Thank you, Chairman Mike Rogers, for your leadership working with President Donald Trump.

01:25:05.820 As the grateful father of four sons who have served overseas in Iraq, Egypt, and Afghanistan,

01:25:10.920 I especially appreciate War, Secretary Hicks, Seth, and Chief of Staff Kane for your competence, service, and success.

01:25:17.340 military families have never been more appreciated than today and our enemies of dictators now

01:25:23.760 understand peace through strength dictators historically are on the run with your leadership

01:25:29.040 president trump has given syria a chance with president al-shara replacing guys anytime someone

01:25:34.800 says peace through strength huge red flag more than likely a neocon tater aside it's a dog whistle

01:25:39.900 for neocon from damascus who now lives in moscow dictator maduro is correctly in a manhattan jail

01:25:47.180 as you successfully revealed in Caracas that the war criminal Putin air defenses do not work,

01:25:54.040 the Chinese Communist Party radar failed, and Cuban mercenaries were expendable. 0.73

01:25:58.600 The Cuban dictatorship is failing, and the ultimate mass murderer, dictator Khomeini,

01:26:04.100 is dead in Tehran, Iran, joining the 35,000 people he murdered this year.

01:26:11.500 Ha ha ha ha ha ha! 0.73

01:26:12.440 Ha ha ha ha ha!

01:26:13.900 Bro, that is the worst lie that they keep saying,

01:26:16.200 that the protesters that were killed, 30,000 to 40,000 protesters,

01:26:18.900 one day it's 20,000, another day it's 30,000, another day it's 40,000.

01:26:21.980 Bro, I've seen people say 80,000 to 100,000. 0.99

01:26:24.860 Fucking gets crazy. 0.97

01:26:26.060 The leadership, American morale has never been higher and hopes for... 1.00

01:26:30.240 Cap! Cap!

01:26:32.260 Bro, American morale has never been more angry.

01:26:34.760 This dude campaigned on no new wars.

01:26:36.640 Is this guy drunk? 1.00

01:26:37.820 I swear to God these boomers are retarded. 1.00

01:26:39.460 The freedom of the oppressed people of Iran, Cuba, Russia, and China have never been higher. 1.00

01:26:45.600 And it's just an exciting time to be here with you. 0.62

01:26:48.120 And, Mr. Secretary, we continue to see the growing nuclear threat of our adversaries 0.88

01:26:53.440 as they expand their capabilities with the largest military buildup in peacetime in world history by the Chinese Communist Party. 0.84

01:27:01.400 How critical is it that we continue, as at the Savannah River site in South Carolina,

01:27:07.160 to develop the plutonium pit processing so that we have modernization?

01:27:14.620 Well, Congressman, I appreciate that question.

01:27:16.440 On nuclear modernization, this budget funds $71 billion to modernize the triad

01:27:22.940 in ways that we had neglected to do, and our nuclear triad underwrites everything.

01:27:28.200 But I really appreciate your opening statement.

01:27:31.220 I think something that, obviously, the media doesn't want to cover and doesn't want to talk about

01:27:36.280 is the historic, record-breaking surge in recruiting in our ranks.

01:27:41.020 30-year record in recruiting of Americans wanting to join...

01:27:45.000 And now they've got to fight for Israel, bro.

01:27:49.640 ...our joint force, wanting to put the uniform on.

01:27:52.720 We're meeting recruiting goals halfway through...

01:27:55.120 Yeah, they wanted to put the uniform on because no new wars

01:27:57.600 and wanted to actually defend the homeland,

01:27:59.560 not start provocation-type wars that don't strategically benefit us of option.

01:28:05.280 the year big difference we couldn't meet our recruiting goals under the previous administration

01:28:10.640 under joe biden americans didn't want to join the military we couldn't get it now we have to turn

01:28:16.460 people away and push them to the next fiscal year that's why this budget grows our force

01:28:20.460 by almost 50 000 ultimately additional troops into the force that we believe we can recruit

01:28:26.120 that's the best vote of confidence i can imagine well hey even better hey mr secretary you're

01:28:32.840 really understating. Okay, here we go. More glaze. Leaving no airmen behind. All right, let's

01:28:39.300 think about this. The national security strategy and national defense strategy are frameworks,

01:28:46.140 but a president will employ national force and power based on the political and security

01:28:54.500 situations that a president deems appropriate to use that military force. There's always trade-offs

01:29:02.320 in all of these things.

01:29:04.700 I'm confident that the president

01:29:07.960 always carefully considers

01:29:09.480 these readiness trade-offs,

01:29:11.660 and I'm sure he has done so in this case

01:29:14.700 based on the military options

01:29:17.640 that we've presented

01:29:18.680 with the associated risks and advice.

01:29:20.740 Well, to make a trade going after a regime

01:29:22.520 that's weaker and more vulnerable

01:29:23.860 than it has been in decades,

01:29:25.420 which is quote-unquote

01:29:26.460 from the Defense Strategies report,

01:29:29.240 does not, in my opinion, in common sense.

01:29:31.720 Gentlemen, time's expired.

01:29:33.180 As you can tell from looking at the dice, votes have been called.

01:29:36.500 So we are now going to stand in recess to the end of this vote.

01:29:39.460 I expect it to take 20 to 25 minutes, but we are now in recess.

01:29:43.320 All right, let's go back.

01:29:44.360 Let's see if PPD's still on.

01:29:46.960 It's a fairly month.

01:29:47.900 The top 1% is paying.

01:29:49.380 Yeah, absolutely.

01:29:49.920 But the campaign up, the top 1%, they need to pay their fair share.

01:29:54.260 You know, that's the campaign that's happening.

01:29:55.920 Let me get to the next story here.

01:29:56.980 So next story is, so Jimmy Kimmel, a few days ago,

01:30:02.120 All right, let's...

01:30:04.120 ...that the political leadership will accept a deal that Trump can announce.

01:30:08.900 The problem is that few know that deadline will hit,

01:30:12.740 and estimates vary considerably.

01:30:14.160 Bremer's own group has suggested that Iran might have about a...

01:30:17.940 ...the U.S. to lift its...

01:30:19.420 Okay, here we go.

01:30:21.980 The thing he's referencing is, it's literally called the quasi-war,

01:30:25.540 where we like slightly had some engagement with France

01:30:29.280 and you could be helping.

01:30:31.160 It would be run by us.

01:30:33.220 Love British royalty.

01:30:34.860 Well, King Charles is one of them anyway.

01:30:37.340 Incredibly fat and has been, you know, for decades now.

01:30:40.140 They say no kings, but they would take him.

01:30:41.760 Guys, how long does their show go?

01:30:43.040 For two hours or longer?

01:30:44.320 A second.

01:30:45.220 Yeah.

01:30:46.080 King Charles.

01:30:47.080 Oh, this is.

01:30:48.580 Lee.

01:30:49.760 Lee.

01:30:53.320 Lee.

01:30:53.740 Lee.

01:30:53.760 Lee.

01:30:53.800 really wrong straight of hormuz proposal now we saw it we've all seen it they asked for three

01:30:57.920 different things those three things are you know lift the sanctions open a blockade and then let's

01:31:03.060 talk nuclear right there you go thank you pbd thank you mainstream media did not say that 0.97

01:31:08.940 there's a clip on this as well uh president trump first person to fucking say it all 0.87

01:31:13.600 national security team are skeptical of iran's offer of a deal that would see the straight of 0.90

01:31:18.520 was open discussions about nuclear work tabled u.s officials said trump had discussions with aids

01:31:24.200 monday morning about the offer while he didn't reject it outright officials said trump sounded

01:31:29.320 notes about iran not uh dealing in good faith or being willing to meet his key demands ending

01:31:36.600 nuclear enrichment and vowing never to make a nuclear weapon they didn't agree thanks for us

01:31:41.800 also for the dollars i'm back in the states now stuck uh i was stuck there fair enough no worries

01:31:46.280 bro agree with that what's this rob here is this uh this is ms now reporting on that okay go for 0.72

01:31:51.880 it trump appears unlikely to accept iran's latest proposal to end the war retarded tehran's offer

01:31:59.580 includes reopening the strait of hormuz while requiring the u.s to lift its naval block there

01:32:05.400 you go in ports and fox news completely left this out setting aside questions about the country's

01:32:11.840 nuclear program for later negotiations. The New York Times cites multiple people briefed on

01:32:17.940 discussions in the White House Situation Room yesterday who say the president has told advisors

01:32:23.140 he is not satisfied with that proposal. The paper goes on to report. All right, let let Brent go up,

01:32:29.500 bro. We're sitting at 117. Fuck it. Trump, that's how you want to play. OK, bro. It is not clear

01:32:34.600 precisely why Trump is skeptical of the offer, but he has repeatedly insisted that Iran cannot have

01:32:40.860 nuclear weapons. That is

01:32:42.960 a sentiment. You posted something?

01:32:45.220 Let's look. Breaking

01:32:46.960 news chat all the time.

01:32:48.760 Let's see. I appreciate you guys giving

01:32:50.780 updates in the chat, bro, because

01:32:52.120 I can't look at the

01:32:55.020 news while I'm on air, so I appreciate that you guys be doing

01:32:56.960 that for me sometimes.

01:32:59.500 Last thing you put here is six

01:33:00.860 hours ago. I reckon they're right together. They don't

01:33:02.820 know how to sign a non-nuclear

01:33:04.820 deal. They better get smart soon. President DJT.

01:33:08.320 Is that

01:33:08.860 what it was? 0.93

01:33:10.860 yeah bro okay sick dude sick secretary of state marco rubio echo while we're looking at that 0.64

01:33:23.120 trump warns iran better get smart soon as he waives military options over straight up hormuz

01:33:27.320 he's been saying this non-stop and trump tells aides to prepare for extended blockade

01:33:31.180 of iran in a wall street journal article that came out causing oil prices to jump to 115

01:33:36.580 after we're sitting at 117 right now chat the reports of extended iran blockade so what what

01:33:42.600 do you think went up two dollars since these guys have been on air it's happening here jeff

01:33:45.720 well did she really say it's not clear why he rejected the did she really say that with a

01:33:51.020 are you surprised that she would say no i know i know look um no because it's somewhat reasonable

01:33:55.460 it's actually not like it's actually a good deal and offers trump like an off-ramp to begin an

01:34:01.300 off-ramp process so it's actually not out of the question here's the problem our hubris makes us

01:34:05.340 think that we have all the cards we really don't dude we really don't look this is a game of

01:34:09.560 chicken it's been a game of chicken from the very beginning okay and they have more time to play

01:34:13.140 chicken than we do that simple the irgc doesn't have midterms in november trump does the uranians

01:34:19.980 are betting that trump will fold because of the midterm elections precisely if they can keep oil

01:34:24.960 prices high enough the economic pain will be sufficient that the the u.s administration will

01:34:29.280 will will try to save face and come to the negotiating table in a weakened position and

01:34:34.680 And therefore, they can get a deal that allows them to survive.

01:34:37.180 That's all this has been.

01:34:38.620 What Trump has done repeatedly.

01:34:39.940 Okay, now let's ask, are they capable of doing that?

01:34:43.200 The answer is yes.

01:34:47.960 Can they do that?

01:34:49.740 The answer is yes.

01:34:50.900 And that, my friends, is the problem in of itself.

01:34:54.040 This guy proved me right.

01:34:55.560 Hey, look, I am willing to take the short run pain.

01:34:58.500 I know this is going to be bad.

01:34:59.560 I know the longer it goes, the worse it's going to get.

01:35:01.940 but the long-run strategic goal here is worth the short-run pain no it's not because we get no 0.99

01:35:08.540 benefit even if we do accomplish those stupid-ass objectives there's no american benefit how is a 0.99

01:35:14.540 fucking guy that's making 30k in ohio gonna benefit from this war if anything he's getting 0.99

01:35:20.040 dragged right now as we speak and so everybody keeps underestimating the strategy here and we've 0.99

01:35:24.800 talked about this before you know how there is no strategy he thought this war was going to be two 0.91

01:35:29.980 to three days dude he tried to run a clandestine operation and got fucking caught right before 0.87

01:35:35.180 easter are you serious are you serious dude he has no plan his several intelligence agencies 0.94

01:35:45.080 told him this is a bad idea don't do it and he did it anyway bro thought this is going to be 0.90

01:35:49.300 venezuela part two now we're fucking might as well call this operation stuck as well because 0.95

01:35:53.960 we're stuck the fuck over there how we go from maduro and venezuela to stuck as well 0.99

01:35:59.520 and fucking Iran. We're cooked there, man. 1.00

01:36:02.380 And our military bases got fucking 0.99

01:36:03.820 blown up. 0.99

01:36:06.620 Trump administration

01:36:07.620 has behaved very differently.

01:36:09.660 They started with Panama. They went to Venezuela.

01:36:11.500 They've got Cuba. There is a strategic goal 0.86

01:36:13.860 here. And they have shown, first of all,

01:36:15.640 that they're willing to go past the lines that people

01:36:17.620 had thought they were, you know, you don't

01:36:18.800 take out Venezuela's leader. You don't do

01:36:21.700 that. They've shown a resolve

01:36:23.640 to be able to do things that nobody else does.

01:36:26.100 And they've also... Yeah, but

01:36:27.580 Iran isn't Maduro. Iran is not

01:36:29.600 Panama. Iran has been preparing for this 0.95

01:36:31.740 for decades, dude.

01:36:33.360 They've also shown here that they're willing to take this

01:36:35.720 as far as it needs to go. We'll

01:36:37.520 sacrifice the midterms if we have to

01:36:39.340 because this is worth it. This is one

01:36:41.640 of those things that you don't negotiate.

01:36:44.880 This is not something

01:36:45.720 you can just set aside.

01:36:47.400 Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

01:36:49.500 That's it. That's the starting point.

01:36:50.660 We'll see if that works. 0.98

01:36:53.360 We're trying to strangle Iran with the blockade. 0.97

01:36:55.600 They're trying to strangle us with the Straits of Hormuz. 0.98

01:36:57.580 and see who blinks. The capacity of a dictatorship like that to withstand economic pain is something

01:37:06.140 we might have been misestimating. You know, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela were able to inflict

01:37:13.820 enormous pain on their citizens and stay in power as long as they're ruthless about doing it.

01:37:19.280 I think we are not here negotiating a treaty with the United Kingdom. We're negotiating with the

01:37:24.860 IRGC, basically a criminal gang that's taken over the country. Who knows actually who we're

01:37:29.480 negotiating with? Is the Supreme Ayatollah even alive or is it AI creation at this point?

01:37:36.120 Promises from Iran, vows to never create a nuclear weapon for the next 20 years. These guys want to 0.79

01:37:42.260 know if they're going to wake up tomorrow morning. So that whole business just seems kind of silly

01:37:46.860 that that's what we're negotiating about. We need to reopen the straits. We're unwilling to do it

01:37:52.380 with any, we're unwilling to do whatever.

01:37:55.420 We could reopen them in a week if we wanted to,

01:37:57.140 but it would take a military commitment we don't want to do.

01:37:59.900 Something you just said is really important,

01:38:01.360 that you're not negotiating.

01:38:01.940 And that is the problem. 1.00

01:38:03.120 One of the reasons why is that for the Iranians, 1.00

01:38:05.980 at least the Iranian regime or what's left of it,

01:38:08.840 this is a war of survival. 0.94

01:38:10.360 There is no tomorrow.

01:38:11.680 And that's why they're going balls to the wall.

01:38:13.780 Lose this, I mean, it's very likely

01:38:15.280 they're going to be hauled into the streets.

01:38:16.880 And so, you know, why don't they just say,

01:38:18.260 sure, we'll give up the nukes.

01:38:19.400 Right.

01:38:19.840 Because they can't make nukes anyway.

01:38:21.720 Right.

01:38:21.880 If they try to move anything, these rays... 0.98

01:38:23.960 So why the fuck are we there, bro? 0.99

01:38:26.940 Why the fuck are... 0.99

01:38:27.980 You defeated your own argument. 1.00

01:38:30.120 Why the fuck are we there if you know they can't make nukes? 1.00

01:38:33.900 Insane. 1.00

01:38:34.520 They'll pound a taxi cab going down central to Iran. 0.99

01:38:37.860 Well, I think that's a...

01:38:38.800 It's a public relations thing for them to say

01:38:40.640 we're still going after the nukes.

01:38:42.280 Just like they keep saying that, you know,

01:38:43.600 they got all these ships going through the blockade and...

01:38:45.480 Abbas Argochi, who was a main negotiator,

01:38:47.740 went out there, met with Putin.

01:38:49.880 Putin made it very clear, we have each other's back.

01:38:52.340 Yep.

01:38:53.020 So that was a very, he went, I think he went to Pakistan, Islamabad first.

01:38:55.940 That was a big PR move, man.

01:38:57.660 Guys, keep in mind, a president meeting a foreign minister is a big deal

01:39:02.280 because there's a big gap in power there.

01:39:05.100 That normally doesn't happen.

01:39:06.320 Normally you're supposed to meet your equivalent when you do diplomacy.

01:39:08.980 The fact that Aragache met with Putin himself was to send a message chat to the West.

01:39:16.220 We're with Iran.

01:39:17.980 Y'all are not going to bully them.

01:39:19.960 We're going to continue to support them.

01:39:21.880 And this is us uniting against NATO and the Western countries.

01:39:30.260 That's what that meeting was for. 0.73

01:39:32.360 That meeting was to show optics and let them know that Iran is not alone.

01:39:41.380 That's what it is.

01:39:42.740 It was an optics meeting. 0.99

01:39:45.500 That's not normal for a head of state to meet a fucking foreign ambassador chat. 0.99

01:39:49.480 went to oman then went to put mit with putin and they had a public meeting and russia said hey 0.99

01:39:55.740 we're supportive uh our relationships are strong so that was a statement is this it rob that we

01:40:01.360 have absolutely it was a statement go ahead how courageously and heroically the people of iran

01:40:09.160 is fighting for their independence for their sovereignty this is obviously optics you want

01:40:17.640 a show to say we're on the same page as we're going through this. Rubio says the Iranians 0.91

01:40:22.420 are serious about making a deal to get themselves out of the mess they're in. So Rubio is saying

01:40:26.180 one thing. Trump is saying something else. Bro, it's because they're lying. It's that

01:40:32.500 simple. They're fucking lying. They're making this shit up as they go, bro. 1.00

01:40:39.780 Okay, you got Frederick Mart saying the U.S. was humiliated by Iran. Everyone's saying 1.00

01:40:44.360 their own thing this is it right they they are getting humiliated i've got to play this need i

01:40:48.720 say more what is brent oh oh 117 oh okay all right got it got it boom buckat

01:40:55.960 this clip they let them travel to islamabad and then leave again without any result 0.50

01:41:03.380 a whole nation is being humiliated by the iranian leadership especially by these so-called

01:41:10.060 the Revolutionary Guards. 1.00

01:41:11.660 Oh, shit. 0.99

01:41:12.860 That's one of our allies right there. 1.00

01:41:15.600 And in that respect... 0.89

01:41:16.280 Rare Germany W. 0.89

01:41:17.720 ...in fact, they let... 0.90

01:41:19.620 Yeah, so, Brandon, where are you at with this?

01:41:22.580 That's why they call it the fog of war,

01:41:23.760 because everybody has a complete...

01:41:24.860 You know, if you listen to somebody from that side,

01:41:26.960 somebody from our side,

01:41:27.740 you'd think of completely different things going on.

01:41:29.460 But, yeah, no, the fact of the matter is that, yeah,

01:41:31.940 dealing with a ruthless regime like that,

01:41:33.880 we don't even know who's in charge anymore.

01:41:35.480 But you have to take it all the way at this point.

01:41:37.060 Dude, really?

01:41:37.760 Oh, God, dude.

01:41:38.600 these guys always strike out with the iran war bro we know exactly who we're negotiating with

01:41:43.300 bro you you guys just don't want to say it why you have to you guys just don't want to say we 0.98

01:41:47.280 know exactly who the fucking supreme leader is now dude yes it's ali khamenei's son ruthless 0.98

01:41:51.880 who's badly injured possible lost his kid and family return is the only has no incentive to 0.99

01:41:56.180 fucking negotiate respond to one thing and that's strength and you know we're not gonna have anything 0.90

01:42:01.360 amicable happen it's not gonna be a negotiated thing it's gonna be like a brute force savage 0.99

01:42:06.040 outcome where we have to be kind of ruthless.

01:42:08.540 So, Brandon, would you

01:42:09.800 go, you were a little bit

01:42:11.860 pacifist earlier.

01:42:14.040 If you want to open the straits by force, 0.94

01:42:16.340 the U.S. can do it. There's 0.99

01:42:17.980 never been an overwhelming

01:42:19.820 match. Well, it's going to take boots on the ground.

01:42:22.580 There's no way to do it without the

01:42:24.020 possibility of boots on the ground. Exactly.

01:42:26.020 You're never going to win a war with air power alone.

01:42:28.920 This has been widely

01:42:30.060 researched and shared by

01:42:32.160 almost every single

01:42:33.260 conflict historian researcher.

01:42:36.040 to open the straight casual absolutely yes no well the straight's open though i think the

01:42:41.300 problem with the straight is that the ships won't um the insurers won't insure ships going through

01:42:45.280 because you still have the threat that's exactly what it is and that's why it's so dangerous they

01:42:49.240 don't actually have to bomb anything they just have to create their um aura that they could bomb

01:42:53.160 and then bam the fear alone does the job for them drones hitting ships exactly the u.s has to remove

01:42:59.040 that threat which the u.s could do if we wanted to but not really that would require an enormous

01:43:05.920 amount of resources thousands of soldiers being killed um months if not years to find all the

01:43:11.800 missile cities and drone cities nope that could come from anywhere though which i think is the

01:43:15.040 problem it's like the chance of that happening is okay guys what's the litmus test if you are

01:43:21.100 against the ukraine war but you're pro-iran war what does that mean go ahead guys let me know in

01:43:28.080 the chat if you're anti-ukraine war but supportive of the iran war what does that mean pop quiz

01:43:35.780 why they won't get insured so how would the u.s go about removing that threat it's not going to

01:43:40.060 come from saudi arabia no but i mean that you could send drones from anywhere without from

01:43:44.360 exactly i don't think this ends well that regime is in power right so that's one thing we have to 0.87

01:43:48.640 go all the way so there we go raptor 2cc ding ding ding you're controlled by jews exactly sir 0.99

01:43:54.580 exactly i got my seven seven seven thousand dollars i don't give a shit about dead kids 0.98

01:44:02.840 I got my seven, seven, $7,000. 0.97

01:44:06.920 I love getting paychecks from Zionists. 1.00

01:44:10.880 But if you're saying that, and if you're saying to open up the Strait of Hormuz, 0.99

01:44:14.240 don't you think if you open up the Strait of Hormuz, you give them leverage?

01:44:17.220 I think you can open up the Strait in the short run at tremendous cost.

01:44:22.580 You can come with some deal, and they agree to stop shooting for a while,

01:44:26.260 at which point you've lost,

01:44:27.440 at which point you've handed them perpetually the power to shut it down whenever they want,

01:44:32.840 And if the U.S. is willing to go along with that, you might as well send Xi Jinping the keys to Taiwan.

01:44:39.020 Yeah, we can't have that.

01:44:40.080 We can't give them the power to shut it down.

01:44:42.260 I did an episode, guys, with Cyrus on Taiwan.

01:44:44.240 The invasion of Taiwan is fear-mongering, man.

01:44:47.940 We are actually on the edge of a no way out.

01:44:50.940 The U.S., I think and you think, cannot just give in, have a short-run deal.

01:44:55.140 They stop shooting for a little while.

01:44:56.760 We get to the midterms.

01:44:57.940 No, because then we have lost strategically a tremendous amount.

01:45:00.660 They can't give in either because they want to get up there the next morning, and they are willing to murder their people in enormous quantities in order to stop anything that comes up.

01:45:11.880 No, they're willing to murder Mossad agents that were stimulating riots.

01:45:15.960 ...because of the economy.

01:45:17.560 So there's a scenario here where once all the oil tankers that are on the sea have reached port, the oil situation gets really bad for the rest of the world, not so bad for the U.S. because we make it.

01:45:28.420 and things are really tough all around.

01:45:30.980 There is no short-run solution here.

01:45:32.680 This isn't... 1.00

01:45:33.440 Yeah, we make her on OILA,

01:45:34.480 but people are still playing double the price, bro. 1.00

01:45:35.940 This guy's a clown, dude. 0.98

01:45:39.940 Anytime somebody says we make her on OILA, 1.00

01:45:41.700 it doesn't matter. 1.00

01:45:42.380 Just tell them to shut the fuck up, bro. 1.00

01:45:45.540 Because a bunch of you guys are probably paying double 1.00

01:45:47.780 to fill your tank right now, 1.00

01:45:48.740 and this guy's over here saying some dumb shit. 1.00

01:45:50.500 I think you're right. 1.00

01:45:51.220 We're in a place where it's an either-or.

01:45:53.180 Either we go all the way,

01:45:54.280 or we stop short,

01:45:55.340 and the U.S. loses, and they don't...

01:45:56.440 Exactly.

01:45:56.960 We are in an escalation ladder trap.

01:46:00.780 They don't achieve their objectives.

01:46:02.600 And I think, again, going back to the framework here, the Trump administration has said, we realize this.

01:46:07.820 We're going to tolerate the short-run pain to achieve our long-run goals. 0.99

01:46:11.480 What they're betting is that they can break the Iranians before. 0.92

01:46:14.400 But can you achieve that goal with the IRGC, which is the government of Iran still in power? 0.56

01:46:19.520 I mean, this.

01:46:20.420 Nope.

01:46:21.640 Nope. 0.87

01:46:22.060 And those missile cities?

01:46:23.540 Nope.

01:46:24.780 I love about the Trump administration.

01:46:26.060 That's the goal, though. 0.96

01:46:26.460 They have pushed all of our enemies to the five yard line, Venezuelans, the Cubans, the Iranians. 0.73

01:46:31.840 Nobody. We were stuck on our own 30 yard line and just sitting around in an internal huddle for 20 years.

01:46:38.120 So they just but there's no points till you get to the goal.

01:46:41.640 Right. So, I mean, yeah, there's obviously there's a tremendous argument whether they can execute the plan.

01:46:47.300 But I think that's the plan. They're not there's not going to be a short run.

01:46:50.360 Hey, let's get the Hormuz thing open and we'll negotiate later.

01:46:53.260 This is either or. 0.96

01:46:55.080 Either the Iranians break or we leave.

01:46:58.040 Yeah, and the tough part is that there's the absence of a rebel group

01:47:01.120 and there's an absence of a clear-necked leader in the country,

01:47:03.880 which is normally something you have when you're a rebel.

01:47:05.320 You know who the leader is today?

01:47:06.380 Pull up the guy I sent you.

01:47:07.700 That's the guy today.

01:47:08.900 Forget about Khamenei.

01:47:09.740 This is the guy.

01:47:10.280 This is the commander-in-chief of IRGC right now, appointed March 1st.

01:47:13.620 Just so you know, his background a little bit.

01:47:15.780 Yep, hardliner.

01:47:17.320 He answers directly to Mustafa Khamenei.

01:47:19.600 He previously served as a deputy commander of IRGC,

01:47:22.000 and then he took over.

01:47:24.400 Argentina's highest court formally charged him

01:47:26.840 in 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish Community Center.

01:47:29.700 Guys, the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,

01:47:33.420 that is like a branch of their military

01:47:37.000 that answers directly to the Supreme Leader.

01:47:38.900 They're the ones that run the ballistic missile

01:47:41.280 and drone program. 0.96

01:47:44.580 These are the dudes responsible for Boom Boom Tel Aviv. 1.00

01:47:49.340 You can thank these niggas for that. 1.00

01:47:52.000 Let's see here. 1.00

01:48:21.340 some faggot in the chat free bands 1.00

01:48:24.060 well free bands it's interesting that you say that 1.00

01:48:28.760 because there's probably a high likelihood that you won't be free

01:48:31.860 when you get sent to the shadow realm and you're more than likely probably 0.97

01:49:16.400 Faggot. 1.00

01:49:17.980 This is who we're negotiating with, okay? 1.00

01:49:20.300 Bahidi is considered a regime hardliner.

01:49:22.420 He publicly warned Iranian women that security forces would punish those breaking the rules with respect to hijab compliance.

01:49:28.780 So imagine what kind of a player you have that you're negotiating with.

01:49:31.840 This is the commander.

01:49:33.440 Jack Johnson, what do you think about energy lockdowns?

01:49:37.620 From where?

01:49:38.700 Now, go to the Wall Street Journal story that came out two, three hours ago, Rob, this morning,

01:49:43.120 with how the economy is impacting the people.

01:49:44.920 25 million people or so in Iran work.

01:49:47.960 One million directly lost their job.

01:49:50.700 Another million indirectly lost their jobs.

01:49:52.880 Inflation is up 67%.

01:49:54.640 The price of meat right now, I think a pound of it right now,

01:49:58.440 if you go a little bit lower, is 360.

01:50:00.500 Not a pound. I'm sorry.

01:50:01.440 If you go a little bit lower, 360 an ounce, if I'm not mistaken.

01:50:04.600 A pound. Yeah, 360 a pound.

01:50:06.560 Beyond the reach of most in country where the minimum wage is $130 a month.

01:50:10.480 Iran's national security, look at the number.

01:50:12.200 1.8 million real to the dollar the people are getting destroyed the this isn't this is nothing

01:50:21.100 new they've been dealing with this since january dude they've already been sanctioned to hell so

01:50:25.720 what do they got to lose this actually proves why they're going to keep fighting this literally

01:50:29.880 proves why they're going to keep fighting they've already dealt with this for 50 years and they're

01:50:33.200 tired of it it's do or die bro put up or shut up people are around the day-to-day average day-to-day

01:50:39.280 people are getting destroyed and while you're reading this a story comes out which this may be

01:51:35.820 we got jokes

01:51:36.740 racism 0.99

01:51:37.480 geopolitical commentary we make fun of women and say how they're retarded deep analysis on female 0.98

01:51:44.260 nature true crime breakdowns that i mentioned that we say women are retarded had to give you 0.86

01:51:50.060 guys that one twice it's that important anyway carrying on with the show we also do reactions 0.78

01:51:54.360 like this debunking uh zionists like uh pbd it could go for another two months two months puts

01:52:00.720 us where july 1st right may 1st yeah right july 1st is two months world cup starts when june can

01:52:07.420 you find out when the world cup starts i don't know when the world cup starts but it starts in

01:52:10.560 the next in this story as you read it it says president trump's mid-april blockade of straight

01:52:15.620 of homo is largely about forcing iran's oil industry to confront a shut-in date when its

01:52:20.680 oil storage capabilities exhausted and production literally stops that would be a dramatic economic 0.99

01:52:25.120 development for iran as oil wells are difficult to restart and there's a risk of permanent damage

01:52:30.420 the white house's logic is that iranian economy will be under such strain that the political

01:52:35.000 leadership will accept a deal that trump cannot not happening bro now because like i've just said 0.95

01:52:40.740 before and i'll say it again these conservatives have like no fucking you know idea of geography 0.98

01:52:45.600 um the u.s only got half the problem correct okay we are set up here in the persian fucking gulf 0.98

01:52:54.540 right straighter humus is here guys right it's where 20 of the world's oil goes and we're set 0.91

01:52:59.740 up right around here in the Persian Gulf, right? Now, here's the thing. Iran has access to the

01:53:05.680 Caspian Sea. This is basically a big-ass fucking lake that's connected to who? Oh, Russia and 0.99

01:53:11.100 Kazakhstan. Very nice. Okay? So, they still have another lifeline to utilize to do business.

01:53:22.700 And they're still getting support from Russia. Why do you think Eregachi was visiting? Huh?

01:53:26.640 Put two and two together, chat.

01:53:28.580 Put two and two together, chat. 1.00

01:53:31.020 Why was Arigachi in fucking Russia? 1.00

01:53:33.580 Hmm, I wonder why. 0.99

01:53:36.520 Why did Arigachi meet with Putin himself?

01:53:38.700 Hmm, I wonder why.

01:53:41.340 Does Iran have some type of deep connection with Russia?

01:53:45.580 Oh, they share a lake that just so happens to have 0.98

01:53:48.040 zero fucking U.S. naval ships or U.S. power in general. 0.98

01:53:53.760 Hmm. 0.99

01:53:56.640 Hmm, this is the equivalent to having your front door locked,

01:54:02.800 but everyone knows you got a back door that's always open. 1.00

01:54:08.220 So this is why this blockade is fucking retarded. 0.99

01:54:12.160 Even if they entered 100% of the vessels, 1.00

01:54:15.540 it doesn't matter because the back door is wide open.

01:54:18.600 Pause.

01:54:19.640 The problem is that few know that deadline will hit,

01:54:23.400 and estimates vary considerably.

01:54:24.620 Actually, Bremer's own group has suggested that Iran might have about a month's time to hold out.

01:54:29.700 Others suggest that things will come to a head earlier in May.

01:54:34.220 Still others have suggested June is...

01:54:35.500 Oh, just like they said that they destroyed 90% of their ballistic missiles?

01:54:38.080 Just like they said they're down to like 100 launchers?

01:54:41.160 Just like they said that the people are going to rise up and take over the country?

01:54:46.460 Just like we said, go to the streets and take your country back and Mossad agents are amongst you? 0.99

01:54:50.400 None of that shit worked, bro. 0.98

01:54:51.460 Just like how Scott Bessent purposely crashed the Iran in Real 0.99

01:54:56.560 and it still didn't lead to regime change. 1.00

01:54:59.540 These niggas get bombed while they're fucking marching 1.00

01:55:01.880 and they say, God is great. 1.00

01:55:03.600 I'm showing you guys the footage.

01:55:05.480 The possibility, Trump. 1.00

01:55:07.320 These guys are fucking different, man. 1.00

01:55:09.160 They're not like us. 0.99

01:55:10.640 His won't offered the most dramatic take

01:55:13.720 when the Fox was told that they only have about three days left.

01:55:16.940 I don't know if it's three days.

01:55:17.900 So you're playing this game saying how much time they have.

01:55:21.460 They just went to Russia.

01:55:23.040 God knows what promises were made behind closed doors.

01:55:26.000 Gas prices in America, when you look at it right now, national average is 423.

01:55:30.040 It's up 33.6%.

01:55:32.060 Okay.

01:55:32.880 National average is 543 for diesel.

01:55:35.140 That's crazy.

01:55:36.900 Up 50%.

01:55:38.300 You know, you already look at the stats with economy, some of the stuff.

01:55:42.860 You know, first-time buyers right now, it's only 26% of purchases.

01:55:46.300 Historically, it's been around 40% historically.

01:55:48.980 Average age, 36.

01:55:50.120 So economy isn't the best today.

01:55:52.680 To put this even a little bit more on them, it's putting too much pressure.

01:55:56.100 So who's going to be able to manage that pressure more?

01:55:59.160 It's what it's going to come down to.

01:56:00.660 Jeff, your thoughts on this?

01:56:02.020 Yeah, again, it's a game of chicken.

01:56:03.320 The U.S. economy is not good, and historically, oil shocks lead to recession.

01:56:07.080 Here, we'll come back to order.

01:56:08.320 How it goes.

01:56:09.700 Secretary, can you hear my voice clearly?

01:56:12.520 General, can you hear my microphone?

01:56:13.520 I don't think there's any set schedule.

01:56:16.180 We'll go back to the testimony here in a second.

01:56:17.920 You know, they started out and say, hey, we'll get this done in six weeks.

01:56:20.200 But that was just for public consumption.

01:56:21.500 I don't think it was a realistic target.

01:56:22.680 And we talked about that, you know, back then.

01:56:24.300 It was going to take longer than six weeks.

01:56:25.860 We all knew that was the case.

01:56:26.780 They knew that.

01:56:27.340 They know that's the case.

01:56:28.440 Yeah, they've been lying the whole way.

01:56:29.420 First, it was the war is going to be short.

01:56:30.700 Then it was we won the war. 0.98

01:56:31.720 Now it's fucking, you know, we don't need the straight. 1.00

01:56:34.480 Now it's open to straight assholes. 1.00

01:56:36.520 So what they're really flip flops every day. 1.00

01:56:38.380 What they're trying to do is they're betting that the damage that they're inflicting on Iran

01:56:41.740 will be so substantial that they don't have to negotiate with the IRGC guy.

01:56:46.080 because somebody else...

01:56:49.420 No, they're negotiating with a guy

01:56:50.800 that can't control the IRGC.

01:56:54.180 That's what makes this worse.

01:56:56.740 That's why Abbas Aragach said

01:56:57.900 the Strait of Mus' is open 1.00

01:56:58.740 and them niggas just said nope 1.00

01:57:00.120 and kept it closed. 1.00

01:57:01.360 They're like, nope.

01:57:02.500 Nope, blockade is still in.

01:57:03.880 They're still bombing Lebanon. 0.97

01:57:04.840 No, thank you.

01:57:05.440 Nope. 1.00

01:57:06.480 Fuck what the foreign minister says. 1.00

01:57:09.160 This will take care of him. 1.00

01:57:10.000 The IRGC is completely autonomous, guys.

01:57:11.760 They don't answer to anybody,

01:57:12.680 not even the president,

01:57:13.480 only the supreme leader.

01:57:14.800 The pressure on the Iranian population, there'll be a popular uprising or some other faction will take control.

01:57:20.100 It's the strategic calculus here is the United States plus all these other groups against the IRGC.

01:57:26.640 And so how much ability is the IRGC have to withstand all of these consistent pressures all over the place?

01:57:35.300 We don't know.

01:57:36.020 Nobody knows.

01:57:37.140 Maybe they have an idea.

01:57:38.280 Maybe they think they have an idea, but we have no clue.

01:57:40.460 But that's the strategy that's going into it.

01:57:42.560 We're not talking about that anymore.

01:57:43.720 We're talking about, oh, you know, want them to make a deal because of the pain.

01:57:47.680 And there I think, you know, you look at how many people did Mao starve?

01:57:51.360 How many people did Stalin starve?

01:57:52.760 How many people did North Korea starve?

01:57:54.560 They are immune to economic pain unless somebody else, maybe the regular army.

01:57:59.540 It's the uprising.

01:58:00.700 There has to be an uprising.

01:58:01.580 They're not making a deal with the IRGC.

01:58:03.460 That's what I'm saying.

01:58:04.460 That was never the option.

01:58:05.720 The option here, as I've been saying from the beginning, is regime collapse.

01:58:08.480 I agree entirely.

01:58:09.400 But that's not what we're hearing out of Washington right now.

01:58:11.540 They're not going to say that, though.

01:58:12.560 I mean, nobody in the Trump administration is going to say that we can't negotiate with these people because they're fanatics.

01:58:18.360 What they're going to say is, like they said before, they're going to bring the public along slowly.

01:58:22.560 First, they say we're going to have this wrapped up in six weeks.

01:58:24.880 Oh, then we're going to do a ceasefire, and then we'll wrap it up.

01:58:27.140 They're going to string along the idea of a deal, but I don't think that's their realistic goal.

01:58:31.360 There's no midterm elections in Iran.

01:58:33.980 The thing that makes it tough, though, is that the IRGC has guns and the people of the country don't have guns.

01:58:38.700 You know, so regime collapse, you have to have one side that's having guns as well.

01:58:42.900 Well, eventually, what makes a population...

01:58:44.560 Yeah, and Trump gave them guns.

01:58:45.900 ...to rise up and get guns. 1.00

01:58:47.640 He admitted that shit, which is nuts. 1.00

01:58:49.100 A rebel group. 1.00

01:58:49.980 Starvation.

01:58:51.380 Yeah, but wouldn't you say a rebel group typically exists?

01:58:54.220 They're not going to starve. 0.99

01:58:55.020 Russia's been sending in a whole bunch of fucking food into Iran 0.99

01:58:57.900 to ensure that these sanctions don't get the people going hungry. 0.98

01:59:01.620 With the help of an intelligence agency and situations where...

01:59:05.660 I think in Iran, the hope is that the regular army, they have guns.

01:59:09.100 The other way regimes collapse...

01:59:10.220 30% of them are IRGC in the regular army.

01:59:12.480 Yeah, the other way regimes collapse is the people with the guns realize this is completely rotten. 0.98

01:59:17.780 Regime's not going to fucking collapse for us, dude. 0.93

01:59:20.080 It's not going to happen. 0.98

01:59:21.360 What's up?

01:59:21.880 Thank you for the 101.

01:59:23.560 Thank you for the gifted.

01:59:30.120 The soldiers refused to fire.

01:59:32.240 Right, and which percentage of the...

01:59:33.560 Let's get back to this.

01:59:34.640 The king was here yesterday, and as he was speaking, he received a standing ovation when he implored this body to continue our support for Ukraine.

01:59:48.840 In the 2026 National Defense Strategy, it assesses Russia will remain a persistent, manageable threat.

01:59:57.420 It specifically identifies Russia's continued threats to Ukraine, and we have, of course, the currently presidential continued drawdown authority that can support Ukraine.

02:00:15.820 Hey, we're still on the front page. Guys, if you're enjoying what you're seeing, you like political commentary like this with some fucking jokes, having a good time, etc., follow the channel on Kik. 0.78

02:01:44.360 respect to funding for

02:01:46.340 Ukraine, there

02:01:48.360 was a vote in the House of over

02:01:50.100 300 members of the House that supported Ukraine.

02:01:52.700 Could you please give us a description

02:01:54.220 of some of the things currently that we're doing

02:01:56.320 operationally to support Ukraine?

02:02:00.920 Congressman, I... 0.99

02:02:02.260 Bro, who gives a fuck about Ukraine, bro? What? 0.99

02:02:04.180 Falcon! Punch! 0.72

02:02:05.900 Still talking about Ukraine? You mean

02:02:08.060 you are stupid? That's what we should really be talking 1.00

02:02:10.380 about, Ukraine? No, you are stupid. 1.00

02:02:12.540 You stupid. Quick piss shot. 1.00

02:02:14.360 A few of those are probably left for a classified session.

02:02:18.220 We continue through our security assistance group, Ukraine, to assist with some information-sharing matters.

02:02:26.700 UCOM continues to help.

02:02:27.540 But you would describe it as continuous and ongoing and essential for Ukraine, with U.S. support?

02:02:32.600 Sir, much of the relationship…

02:02:34.320 The gentleman's time is expired.

02:02:35.060 Chair now to recognize the gentleman from California, Mr. Garamendi.

02:02:40.300 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

02:02:42.260 Mr. Secretary and General Cain, let me begin by thanking the men and women of the United States military for their service and their bravery.

02:02:50.300 I recognize that our service members have performed with extraordinary courage and tactical skill,

02:02:56.440 and they've done incredible things that our country has asked them to.

02:03:00.100 Their professionalism and selfless service are not in question and never have been.

02:03:05.740 What is in question is the purposes and the strategic direction of this war.

02:03:11.420 Mr. Hetseth, as Secretary of the Department of Defense, you are ultimately responsible for the conduct of the Iran war.

02:03:19.220 Any unvarnished review of what is happening right now in the Middle East would reveal a geopolitical calamity, 0.61

02:03:27.260 a strategic blunder resulting in worldwide economic crisis.

02:03:33.700 The result of Trump's war of choice is a serious self-inflicted ruin to America.

02:03:39.500 It will take years and a new administration to recover from the grave damage to our standing in the world as well as our economy.

02:03:49.340 Someone with some sense not glazing.

02:03:51.820 We must remember that 13 Americans have been killed in action, hundreds wounded, and thousands of civilians killed, including more than 100 schoolchildren.

02:04:01.960 The risk of this conflict was foreseeable.

02:04:06.260 I'm certain that the Department of Defense knew that it was likely

02:04:09.560 that in a war with Iran, 0.62

02:04:12.480 Iran would create an international economic crisis

02:04:15.360 by blocking the Strait of Hamus. 1.00

02:04:17.160 They said they were going to do all this shit. 0.99

02:04:18.740 That's the crazy part, Chad. 1.00

02:04:20.200 They warned that they would do all the shit they're doing now. 1.00

02:04:22.720 We will attack the Gulf. 0.99

02:04:23.720 We will close the Strait of Hamus. 0.97

02:04:24.920 This will be a regional war.

02:04:26.000 We will escalate and defend ourselves. 1.00

02:04:28.940 They literally said they were going to do all this shit. 0.99

02:04:31.400 And thus stopping 20% of the world's oil. 0.99

02:04:35.540 They said if Israel attacks us, we're going to attack the United States, too.

02:04:38.500 And they've done both. 0.65

02:04:40.260 Existential threat considered?

02:04:42.920 Apparently not.

02:04:44.840 During the 60 days of Trump's Iran war, critical munitions have been expended at an alarming rate.

02:04:51.140 Yep.

02:04:51.460 The pleading magazine levels below what is thought necessary to hold China at bay.

02:04:58.240 It will take years and tens of billions of dollars to restock.

02:05:02.540 a significant part of the necessary navy and marine force in the pacific has been removed

02:05:10.100 and sent to support the iran war our support of ukraine has suffered as supplies and defense

02:05:18.400 systems are diverted to the iran war america has lost irreplaceable aircraft radar systems

02:05:25.940 and strategic bases have been shown to be vulnerable.

02:05:30.580 The continued, lengthy deployment of ships, equipment, and personnel

02:05:35.140 has sacrificed readiness.

02:05:38.240 We know what we have lost, but what have we gained?

02:05:42.500 Let's consider that the regime in Tehran is still intact

02:05:47.340 with new and more radical leadership,

02:05:50.480 as are Iran's ballistic missile and drone forces.

02:05:55.940 As is Iran's ability to rebuild their military industries.

02:06:02.720 Also, as is Iran's coordination with China, Russia, and North Korea. 0.83

02:06:08.380 And Iran's ability to choke off global energy supplies. 0.79

02:06:12.700 And their stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which they only built after President Trump shredded President Obama. 0.94

02:06:22.860 Let's go. 0.99

02:08:45.920 You and the president are ever-changing reasons for the war.

02:08:49.440 You have misled the public about the progress of the war.

02:08:52.520 While the military has executed this war with tactical success, the strategy has been an outstanding example of incompetence.

02:09:00.860 This war of choice is a political and economic disaster at every level.

02:09:06.460 Despite the president's promise to lower the cost of living, gas prices are up 40 percent,

02:09:11.740 and inflation is soaring so much for lowering the cost of living.

02:09:16.620 The president has got himself in America stuck in the quagmire of another war in the Middle East.

02:09:22.280 He's desperately trying to extricate himself from his own mistakes.

02:10:27.160 miss secretary i'd like to start with you we know that peace through strength has a number of

02:10:31.800 tenets i think the most important of those is presence and we know that united states has

02:10:37.820 the marine corps amphibious he's a dem from california ready group marine corps expeditionary

02:10:43.720 unit that provides us that that presence we know there are over 2 000 marines and an aircraft

02:10:50.120 combat unit that are on board those vessels. And they let us do a number of different things. That's

02:10:55.060 the crisis response team that gets to go around the world. Today, as we speak, we have three

02:10:59.280 ARG-MUs that are deployed around the world. Unfortunately, that's an anomaly. It should be

02:11:03.940 standard. Secretary Hegseth, the president and the combatant commanders need maximum flexibility to

02:11:10.260 respond in multiple places at multiple times to combat and deter these threats. I just want to

02:11:17.180 get your perspective all right john garamendi american businessman oh why the hell did i say

02:11:20.520 mr courtney's seat then on your goal to make sure we have a persistent 3.0 argument presence

02:11:28.360 and to look at how are we going to make sure through our shipbuilding plans that we assure

02:11:33.360 northern california represents democrat party that we have the adequate number of amphibs that

02:11:38.160 are being built i think that number is probably around right around 40 and then what are we going

02:11:42.240 to do to make thank you chat sure too that the a sub o the operational availability is going to be

02:11:48.440 at the level where we can maintain an argument 3.0 with the effort we have to put in to maintain

02:11:53.900 these ships so thank you for the question the substantive question i don't normally keep up 0.83

02:11:58.720 with fucking california democrats but bro was cooking dude um that yo that was a flame session 0.79

02:12:03.940 ultimately we support 3.0 argue i wonder if hexade is going to answer any of those questions 0.98

02:12:09.880 That presence right now gives us a lot of flexibility,

02:12:12.420 and this budget supports moving in that direction to ensure that this administration

02:12:18.000 and future administrations have that kind of strategic flexibility

02:12:21.400 with the incredible capabilities the ARG-MU provides.

02:12:24.660 We saw it in Southern Spear.

02:12:26.240 We saw it on the Maduro raid.

02:12:28.020 We see it right now.

02:12:29.320 It's a persistent capability.

02:12:30.480 So I think you'll find our shipbuilding investments to meet that as well.

02:12:36.100 but but if i may sure yeah i didn't get a chance i didn't see a question in the statement from the

02:12:40.900 congressman i i hope okay let's go who appreciate how reckless it is when i said reckless feckless

02:12:47.760 and defeatist of congressional democrats at the beginning uh that came after watching you say the

02:12:52.740 same thing on cnn this morning a quagmire all right bro's pissed all right boys the shout the

02:13:01.680 showdown is about to come my generation served in a quagmire in iraq and afghanistan years and

02:13:09.640 years of of nebulous missions and but you guys should have never been there is the point dude

02:13:14.020 you should have never been there in nation building that led us to nothing what we have

02:13:19.400 right now the way you stain the troops when you tell them two months in two months in congress

02:13:27.220 you should know better shame on you calling this a quagmire two months in the effort what they've

02:13:33.100 undertaken the truth hurts bro they shouldn't have been there in the first place what they've

02:13:36.880 succeeded the success on the battlefield that could create strategic are we going to lie to 0.98

02:13:40.680 them opportunity that they're fucking going to war for israel he's the courage of a president 0.98

02:13:44.620 confront a nuclear iran and you call it a quagmire handing propaganda to our enemies shame on you 0.98

02:13:50.720 for that statement and statements like that are reckless to our troops don't say i support the

02:13:54.700 troops on one hand and then a two-month mission is a quagmire that's uh actually by telling the

02:14:00.580 troops the truth you are doing what needs to be done tough love hey this is a quagmire and you

02:14:05.720 shouldn't be here a false equipment called taking accountability just like we did with Iraq because

02:14:09.800 this is the same exact rhetoric they had when people were criticizing Iraq oh you're not a

02:14:13.300 patriot you're a terrorist sympathizer you're with the terrorists are you with America or not

02:14:16.260 this is exactly what they did during the Iraq war for anyone that criticized that war and

02:14:21.420 And Hexeth is doing it again. 0.90

02:14:22.680 And it's ironic because he actually went to Iraq for no fucking reason. 0.89

02:14:26.040 Yet he's saying this now. 0.94

02:14:27.340 Who are you cheering for here?

02:14:29.660 Who are you pulling for?

02:14:30.780 Our troops are doing it.

02:14:31.260 There we go. 0.99

02:14:31.720 The typical, you're not American for telling the truth. 0.99

02:14:35.200 Incredible work.

02:14:36.140 They've done incredible things for the entirety of this mission.

02:14:39.400 And achieved incredible battlefield successes.

02:14:41.960 And you sit there and go on TV for your clickbait about quag.

02:14:46.520 Okay, Donkey Puncher in the YouTube chat. 0.97

02:14:49.220 You have been selected. 0.99

02:14:51.420 Tell me I'm a retard, retard. 0.99

02:14:54.500 Nux, you said Nux said I'm a retard? 1.00

02:14:56.340 Tell me I'm a retard, moron. 1.00

02:14:58.300 You have the floor. 1.00

02:14:59.720 You're about to get fucking baked. 0.99

02:15:00.860 I hope you're ready. 0.99

02:15:01.460 And it's the 1940s somewhere in Poland.

02:15:04.420 Okay?

02:15:05.200 You're literally about to get baked. 0.95

02:15:07.920 How am I retarded, buddy? 1.00

02:15:08.780 You get your news from a dude that has an anime caricature and doesn't have a face. 0.85

02:15:16.620 Okay? 0.93

02:15:17.520 So go ahead and tell me how I'm a retard. 1.00

02:15:21.420 please prove it moron i think he's in youtube chat because he's an idiot 0.99

02:15:26.640 like most people that are in youtube chat see if i can find this 0.99

02:15:29.900 i don't see it for some odd reason

02:15:38.240 but go ahead myers it undermines the mission your your your hatred for president trump

02:15:46.120 blinds you to the truth of the success of this mission

02:15:50.740 and the historic stakes that the president is addressing,

02:15:53.940 which the American people support.

02:15:55.640 Iran's been at war with us for 47 years.

02:15:58.280 You want to talk about... 0.99

02:15:58.860 No, we've been at war with Iran, with sanctions, coups, supporting Israel, all that bullshit. 0.99

02:16:04.540 About a forever war? 0.99

02:16:06.600 For two months, this president has stared them down.

02:16:08.660 He's going to get a better deal than anyone ever has

02:16:10.580 and ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon.

02:16:12.960 I know the American people support that mission.

02:16:16.120 despite your loose uh no they don't support that mission dude none of us voted for new wars

02:16:21.140 talk and words like quagmire frozen his feelings thank you thank you mr secretary general kane i

02:16:28.700 want to quickly go to you we know all about the need for exquisite platforms but we know if we're

02:16:33.280 going to close the gap with our pacing threats we have to make sure we have those those expendable

02:16:39.220 and intrudable platforms and we know those nation capabilities are key and we have to be able to

02:16:43.780 spin them up quickly, because that's the fastest way for us to, again, deter by peace through

02:16:48.640 strength. Give us your perspective on how you see the urgency of getting that capacity not only in

02:16:54.000 place, but getting that ability to go to scale and get those capabilities in the hands of our

02:16:58.300 warfighters. Sir, I think it's critical, and when I look at what OSW above us is doing, and the

02:17:06.200 Deputy Secretary, as well as Secretary Duffy, and frankly, the National and Defense Industrial

02:17:11.920 bases all rallying around the need to scale along with the new entrants that are out there who are

02:17:18.120 coming and bringing products to the joint force a key is capacity times expired here now recognize

02:17:23.720 a gentleman from new jersey mr norcross thank you chairman like to thank witnesses for being here

02:17:28.660 today mr secretary behold i no worries bro uh he says thank you for streaming on youtube no worries

02:17:33.600 man i'm gonna stay on here for a little bit i hate this platform though i lose money being on here

02:17:36.500 chat. So that's why I try not to be on it long. It's well known that our defense industrial base

02:17:42.020 and maritime industrial base has declined greatly over time. It's the shipyards. It's many things

02:17:49.600 that you already spoke about. In my community, we used to have three shipyards, 40,000 workers.

02:17:56.520 We've lost that critical job skills earned and 40,000 people who know how to do it. And quite

02:18:03.000 flank, frankly, most of it went overseas because it was cheaper. Well, cheaper doesn't buy the

02:18:09.520 security we need for our industrial base. I championed a provision in the 24 NDAA entitled

02:18:17.560 Enhanced Domestic Content Requirement for Major Acquisition Programs. It had to do with our

02:18:24.480 industrial base making things here in America long before this administration came in. The goal was

02:18:31.600 to strengthen our supply chains and have that critical oversight,

02:18:37.200 push for greater investments, much of what you're doing now

02:18:40.100 on these major defense acquisition programs.

02:18:44.680 So we passed that in a bipartisan manner

02:18:49.180 because we knew that this was critical and things can happen.

02:18:53.960 Lo and behold, here we are.

02:18:55.880 There was a reporting requirement in that.

02:18:58.480 That's calls on you, the Secretary of Defense, to establish an information repository. 1.00

02:19:05.580 Sorry, I had to shout around some retard chat, but he's not even worthy of a mention. 1.00

02:19:09.300 Enjoy the shout around, watermelon felon. 1.00

02:19:12.460 Rules create a fallback process to govern the Department of Defense.

02:19:16.680 We wanted to better understand much of what is being done here, but it's not being reported back to us.

02:19:23.980 I sent to your office on January 8th, followed up on February 4th.

02:19:28.980 We're years overdue on this report.

02:19:31.220 That will give us insight onto how we're addressing it.

02:19:35.260 We hear what you're saying, but can you commit that we will get that report to us in the next 30 days?

02:19:44.780 Unless Jay has additional details, I'll make sure we look into it.

02:19:47.880 Whatever we can get to you as rapidly as possibly we will.

02:19:50.960 We'll also check with the new Navy leadership

02:19:53.020 and make sure they're complying as rapidly as possible

02:19:55.940 with every aspect that could apply to shipbuilding.

02:19:58.900 That's been our focus on the Navy side.

02:20:01.280 It's not just shipbuilding, major acquisition programs across the board.

02:20:05.780 This is incredibly important, and they are ignoring this,

02:20:09.440 and 30 days is being generous, certainly.

02:20:12.520 Second issue is you talk about championing the American worker

02:20:16.280 and how important this is.

02:20:18.300 Yet, in the memo on April 9th, you terminate all the collective bargaining agreements across the DOD,

02:20:25.020 taking away from hundreds of thousands of workers at DOD their collective bargaining rights that they voted for.

02:20:32.560 There was nothing to indicate there were any issues with any of the bargaining agreements,

02:20:37.660 yet you decided to take away from them.

02:20:40.520 Over the last few years, we have increased the wages for those warfighters, incredibly important this year, up to 7%.

02:20:48.300 Yet, on the other side of this, you talk about supercharging the defense industrial base.

02:20:54.200 We are in this.

02:20:55.340 How do you go and say, yes, we support the warfighters.

02:20:59.880 They can't do their job unless we are building things that they can use.

02:21:04.660 Yet, no evidence to prove that these collective bargaining agreements were a problem anywhere across the Department of Defense.

02:21:12.660 I encourage you to visit that installation before the end of this year.

02:21:18.140 Thank you very much, and I yield back.

02:21:20.320 General, he yields back.

02:21:21.500 Chair now recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Moulton.

02:21:25.100 Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. 1.00

02:21:26.600 Mr. Secretary, you and I agree that Iran is a national security threat to us and our allies. 0.90

02:21:32.260 Now, earlier you called us feckless for questioning your war. 0.86

02:21:35.620 Do you think Congress was smart or feckless when it failed to ask tough questions of the Bush administration

02:21:41.340 and gave them a blank check for Iraq?

02:21:43.600 Exactly.

02:21:44.000 well if you're trying to compare this war to the iraq i'm just asking you do you think it was 0.96

02:21:49.600 first one to call a stupid war then it's a false comparison okay well probably a good idea to ask 0.87

02:21:55.300 tough questions so let me just ask you a few questions did you advise the president that we 0.98

02:21:59.100 should attack iran uh we were first of all in this position in the cabinet we never talk about what

02:22:05.520 we would advise the president to do or not you think the president i've been in every meeting

02:22:10.600 I understand the chairman and everybody else as the secretary, I'm asking the questions were made and he got every every perspective possible when it came.

02:22:17.400 I'm just asking what your perspective is. Are you afraid to take ownership of this?

02:22:20.640 Do you think it was a good idea or not? My when I as I've consulted the president, do I think it's a good idea to confront a nuclear bomb?

02:22:27.620 To start in the hands of the imagine what the world would look like right now.

02:22:30.800 There we go. If Iran had a nuclear weapon. OK, so let's just just imagine. 0.72

02:22:34.240 Which, by the way, every previous administration, including the first Trump administration, prevented them from having a nuclear weapon.

02:22:41.100 So, listen, how is this war going? Do you think we're winning?

02:22:45.260 Militarily, on the battlefield, it's been an astounding military success.

02:22:48.380 But are we winning the war?

02:22:50.220 Absolutely.

02:22:50.980 Okay, so do you call Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz winning?

02:22:55.520 Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports, which is always in our portfolio to use.

02:23:02.340 So we've blockaded their blockade.

02:23:03.920 So they blockaded us.

02:23:06.100 Blockade-ception.

02:23:07.280 And then we blockaded their blockade.

02:23:09.240 That's like saying, tag, you're it.

02:23:10.960 Or.

02:23:20.220 You know, if President Madison had said, well, the British just burned down Washington, but don't worry, we're going to burn it down as well.

02:23:32.340 Bro's just cooking him now, like just embarrassing him now at this point.

02:23:40.780 Chairman Cain, did the military have plans for the idea that Iran might blockade the strait?

02:23:47.260 No. Fuck no. 1.00

02:23:49.260 Sir, thanks for the... 1.00

02:23:50.920 They definitely didn't know that. They thought it could happen, but they didn't plan for it properly.

02:23:55.340 Question. I'll answer it this way.

02:24:00.240 you know in this job i have to maintain trust with a variety of of constituents okay i'm just

02:24:06.680 asking if the military here we go they don't want it they're gonna dance around this yes sir we as

02:24:10.360 always my point in this is as i explain the role my point in this is we always offer a full range

02:24:16.860 of military options that are careful and he's being truthful they really can't tell trump what

02:24:21.360 to do chat all they can do is give him options say this is what i like but at the end of the day

02:24:26.620 Trump makes the final decision.

02:24:27.680 Remember, guys, his whole intel community said, yo, bombing Iran isn't going to do regime change.

02:24:31.240 He did it anyway, despite the fact his advisers told him whatever they told him.

02:24:35.880 Trump bears ultimate responsibility, guys, at the end of the day.

02:24:38.880 Fully considered with the associated risks with those options and the considerations therein.

02:24:45.020 So, Mr. Secretary, did you consider this risk?

02:24:49.060 Of course.

02:24:49.860 This department has looked at all aspects of this risk.

02:24:52.460 And then why did you send the minesweepers, the only minesweepers we had in the Gulf, to Singapore weeks before the war started?

02:24:59.220 We have lots of capabilities that you may or may not be aware of at the classified level.

02:25:03.860 Okay, and so, by the way, would the Trump-class battleships have helped with this?

02:25:08.300 You're talking about a prospective future battleship, which we welcome. 0.99

02:25:12.160 All right, quick retard in the chat here. 1.00

02:25:56.640 the treasury and 14 billion dollars economic fury uh they're at a point epstein fury where between

02:26:06.560 the blockade okay that's irrelevant they don't need the navy to fucking do the blockade in the

02:28:54.480 You were a part of that war.

02:28:55.740 So was I.

02:28:56.900 I'm just asking if you know what your war costs the average American taxpayer. 0.82

02:29:01.620 What is the cost of Iran having a nuclear weapon that they wield over? 0.83

02:29:04.500 I'm just asking if you know the cost of the average American taxpayer.

02:29:06.220 I'm asking you what the cost would be of that.

02:29:07.900 So for the American taxpayers out there, my constituents, some of the constituents you wanted to represent in Minnesota, I'm just wondering if they have an extra... 1.00

02:29:14.780 And then this idiot says, hi, my idiot, my, why do you have such a weird path to disdain, my man, kissing a white man? 1.00

02:29:52.760 Now, quickly, on March 13th in a press conference,

02:30:29.180 to be as effective as humanly possible.

02:30:31.520 You called Democratic members of Congress to be tried for sedition

02:30:34.580 for reminding our troops to follow the law.

02:30:36.280 But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by yourself.

02:30:39.720 For insinuating that the laws that we're giving them are unlawful.

02:36:11.280 Hegseth and General Kane, with your vision and steadfast commitment to our nation's service

02:36:15.740 members, you have both overseen the beginning of a generational transformation of our armed

02:36:20.040 services. This budget request reflects that commitment by building and sustaining our

02:36:24.340 defense industrial base, increasing service member pay, housing, and benefits, robust funding for

02:36:30.640 golden dome missile defense and space capabilities and the emphasis on the peace through strength

02:36:35.740 doctrine outlined in the national defense strategy based on the defense department's

02:36:41.360 recent track record of successful missions can you share some examples of military action that

02:36:46.060 illustrate exactly how your leadership and vision for the yeah bombing the menop school is one of

02:36:50.640 them that's the vision department of war is translating the peace through strength doctrine

02:36:54.760 into an operational reality and what psychological impact that may have on our near-peer adversaries,

02:37:01.860 such as China and Russia, and I'd like to get both yours in general.

02:37:04.820 You know, deception.

02:37:06.780 It may not have been legal, and as a result, we're working very hard to ensure that any service member

02:37:12.520 who is pushed out is brought back in.

02:37:14.360 If they were forcibly pushed out with back pay and rank and everything that comes with it,

02:37:19.080 those soldiers and troops of conscience who had to make that choice,

02:37:23.260 You think you're the best troops in our force.

02:37:25.280 Listen, I'm grateful that we have two great National Guardsmen sitting at that table today.

02:37:30.220 As a longtime serving Guardsman who just retired, I'm so proud of y'all and what you mean for our total force.

02:37:36.680 It's not a National Guard. It's not a reserve. It's not an army. It's not a Navy.

02:37:40.480 It is a total force, and thank y'all for recognizing that. 0.82

02:37:43.520 I just want to go back to some of the Iran stuff. 0.98

02:37:46.600 I don't know. Maybe they're in a different world than I'm living in. 1.00

02:37:49.180 But from where I live since 1979, Iran has been at war with the United States, although we refuse to acknowledge it. 0.63

02:37:57.020 Whether that's Hezbollah, whether that's the Houthis, whether that is Hamas, whether that is trying to build nuclear weapons, exporting terror everywhere. 0.51

02:38:08.220 I know for a fact when I was in Iraq, both tours. 0.67

02:38:12.360 Bro, sounds like Forrest Gump, bro. 1.00

02:38:47.620 with that war with us and the world since 1979 of course uh for 47 years what a fucking retarded 0.98

02:38:55.560 question years from beirut to baghdad uh iran has sought the most dangerous weapons in the world to 0.98

02:39:01.040 try to achieve death to america and if they were to get the most dangerous weapon in the world a

02:39:07.580 nuclear weapon they would most certainly use it which is why this is at the level of seriousness

02:39:13.540 that president trump was willing to address it and that's what i think so many in this body

02:39:17.740 misrepresent north korea is the lesson everybody thought north korea shouldn't have a weapon

02:39:22.920 under the clinton administration they gathered so many ballistic missiles that their ballistic 0.59

02:39:26.680 missile shield allowed them to blackmail ballistic missile shield the region love that one and the

02:39:37.100 Them weakened by the 12-day war and what happened with Midnight Hammer, the president made a bold choice on behalf of the American people to say never will Iran, with their view of death to America and death to Israel, have a nuclear weapon because if they have it, they'll use it. 0.85

02:39:51.400 And he's taken that bold action in a way I think the American people, when they understand the nature of that threat, and they do, they support it. 0.53

02:44:58.780 one do the analysis of what the increased cost of gas and food and the american people are going to 0.99

02:45:02.940 be what of course not they don't give a fuck it's the cost dan uh dan dan shout out to you 0.97

02:45:08.700 ron holding that straight at issue with nuclear weapons it's 631 billion dollars the johnny says 0.99

02:45:14.620 how do i get an oss uh badge on kick uh talk to one chest he's the one that gives me people's

02:45:20.080 names which means it's an increase of five thousand dollars a year for american five thousand a year

02:45:27.380 households now let me give you this point you're saying that your operation is preventing a nuclear

02:45:32.320 iran will you acknowledge that there is an economic cost to the american people for doing what you

02:45:39.760 believe is necessary to make iran uh denuclear will you acknowledge the economic cost we have

02:45:45.740 an incredible economic team that's managing this better than what the previous administration did

02:45:51.340 to our economy, what the previous administration did with inflation, what the previous administration

02:45:56.480 did with COVID, and you're going to lecture this administration about this economy? You know what

02:46:01.700 is upsetting? Incredible. You didn't even do the analysis on how much it's costing the American

02:46:05.940 people. It's one thing if you said, okay, it costs the American people. We need an SHR bat emote.

02:46:09.700 maybe yeah el kukuru welcome for three months people five thousand dollars but we think it's

02:46:15.820 worth it uh that's what we've done in world war ii and other wars here's what it costs you got

02:46:20.400 to pay for it you don't even know what the average american is paying you don't know what we paid

02:46:25.660 in terms of the missiles that hit the iranian school you don't know what we're paying in terms

02:46:29.140 of gas you don't know what we're paying in terms of food your 25 billion number is totally off

02:46:34.500 It's the incompetence.

02:46:35.860 Go ahead and thank you for the five gifted.

02:46:38.000 It's the incompetence.

02:46:39.980 Let me ask you this.

02:46:41.300 Certainly maybe here we'll find agreement.

02:46:43.320 There were still 440 pounds of low enriched uranium, correct,

02:46:46.820 when President Obama after the JCPOA.

02:46:49.460 Is that accurate?

02:46:51.700 The amounts and types are classified.

02:46:54.380 Okay.

02:46:55.400 Will you acknowledge that there were 970 pounds?

02:46:58.600 Lay sound and shout out to you for the gifted.

02:47:00.980 Of uranium enriched.

02:47:03.000 Brokey, say I put the fries in or I'm a Brokey.

02:47:04.980 Someone will hook you up.

02:47:05.860 After Trump tore up the JCPOA.

02:47:10.060 The JCPOA was a terrible deal that allowed Iran a path to a nuclear bomb.

02:47:13.940 You deal with vague platitudes. 0.84

02:47:16.540 I'm asking you about numbers.

02:47:18.320 You don't know what gas costs.

02:47:19.700 You don't know what food costs.

02:47:20.980 You don't know what the operation costs.

02:47:22.440 Grows out of touch.

02:47:23.940 You know, I get sound bites, but how about numbers?

02:47:28.500 Do you know how much the enriched uranium was after you ripped up the JCPOA, Trump did?

02:47:33.840 I'll give you a number.

02:47:34.620 I know that, as was stated early on, the price of gas is twice as expensive in California.

02:47:39.700 Your home state is anywhere else in the country because of the horrible policies your state pursued.

02:47:43.200 You know what?

02:47:43.840 It used to be that that type of stuff worked, and then you started to lose the people that you campaigned you wanted to be for

02:47:51.740 because you said you wouldn't get us into bad wars.

02:47:54.720 You said you would bring down the prices.

02:47:57.060 You know what I'm sad for?

02:47:58.500 I'm sad for all the people who...

02:47:59.660 Shaman the Barberian, appreciate you with the five gifted.

02:48:02.460 Ethan, Jay, thank you so much for the one gifted.

02:48:06.560 Voted for Trump.

02:48:08.000 I'm sad for them because you betrayed them.

02:48:10.580 You betrayed a lot of that MAGA base.

02:48:12.900 And you know who knows that?

02:48:14.060 J.D. Vance knows that.

02:48:15.740 Gentleman Times expired.

02:48:17.040 Cheer now recognizes this gentleman from Nebraska, Mr. Bacon.

02:48:20.000 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

02:48:20.960 I thank all three of you for being here today.

02:48:23.700 It's a real privilege to be a part of this committee.

02:48:26.280 We are the most bipartisan committee out of 20 in Congress.

02:48:30.260 We have a tradition of voting on NDAAs with large, large majorities year after year.

02:48:36.500 And it's important not to be a Republican first in here or a Democrat first.

02:48:39.820 We're Americans trying to ensure that our country is well defended.

02:48:42.660 And in that spirit, I compliment the operations in Iran.

02:48:48.700 I served 30 years in the Air Force. 0.60

02:48:50.380 We were attacked repeatedly by proxy groups from Iran on every deployment I was on. 1.00

02:48:55.020 They were the number one threat where I was located. 1.00

02:48:57.440 I've lost friends, like at Kovar Towers. 1.00

02:49:00.460 Iran with a nuclear weapon would have been an existential threat to our country. 1.00

02:49:05.260 And if they had a missile that could hit New York, they would have done it. 1.00

02:49:07.860 They would have done it two months ago.

02:49:10.120 So I support our operations there.

02:49:12.420 I think it was good that we got Maduro out.

02:49:14.320 I would say it would be important to get the representative government that duly won their election there

02:49:19.240 and not good to replace one dictator with another dictator, but Maduro was bad for their country.

02:49:23.500 And I support our 5% GDP spending.

02:49:26.600 There's no way to modernize our nuclear force, 0.91

02:49:29.820 six-generation fighters, 0.97

02:49:31.400 take care of our men and women in uniform

02:49:32.580 without being a 5% GDP.

02:49:35.800 But also in the spirit,

02:49:37.520 I share a bipartisan concern of the firings

02:49:40.700 that we've seen at the Pentagon.

02:49:42.520 Four of the six service chiefs, for example, the Coast Guard. 0.98

02:49:46.540 Yeah, because they don't want to engage in this dumbass war. 0.96

02:49:49.640 We had a huge bipartisan majority here 0.98

02:49:52.340 that had confidence in the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of Navy.

02:49:57.320 And I would just point out, it may be constitutionally right.

02:50:00.080 You have the constitutional right to do these things, but it doesn't make it right or wise.

02:50:04.300 Now, my first question is dealing with the housing allowance.

02:50:06.640 I've been working for the last two or three years.

02:50:09.760 Our housing allowance is underpaying people in certain areas.

02:50:13.480 And the department, and it hasn't started under this administration, it's been going on for a while,

02:50:17.240 they take out 5% of the housing allowance.

02:50:19.940 They send it to other needs.

02:50:22.340 but that means we're underpaying our servicemen and women living off base by 5%.

02:50:27.020 So we tried to fix it with a $2.9 billion line item to fix housing allowance, but that money was moved.

02:50:33.960 So I'll just, Mr. Secretary, can you tell us how we're going to fix this?

02:50:36.920 Because we have a shortfall in housing allowance, and we tried to fix it out of here, and I'd like to get it fixed.

02:50:44.340 Congressman, I agree with you.

02:50:45.800 I think that is precisely the kind of quality of life issue that's been ignored time and time again.

02:50:50.780 and oftentimes with good intentions of trying to trade off with something else.

02:50:56.160 Yeah, and this is something to fight for, getting troops to better quality of living.

02:51:00.360 The nuclear triad to make sure that that most critical backstop on our nation's most important.

02:51:06.740 What happened to treason and being a punishment of the life of death?

02:51:08.580 Treason is subjective, I guess. 1.00

02:51:10.100 JC, kind of hard to take the left seriously when they aren't spending out money on stupid shit as hell. 1.00

02:51:13.840 Vengeance 9, subscribe. Welcome to OSS. 1.00

02:51:15.440 Marvel Presidents 28, repeal the 19th. You know it.

02:51:17.600 Today is reliable, redundant, and workable.

02:51:22.740 And so we'll take a look at that.

02:51:25.700 I know the team has already deepened analysis on all from NC3 to the end state.

02:51:32.260 But what I want you to know is the most important thing is the ability to execute if we had to, and we can.

02:51:39.380 You know, for 29 years, we had a plane airborne with the general on board.

02:51:42.440 and it gave the Pentagon, the White House, Strachan, the assurance that we had a backup.

02:51:48.800 I think we're back to the future.

02:51:50.540 And I appreciate your look at it.

02:51:52.200 I just flew with them, and they were doing great work.

02:51:53.980 The gentleman's time's expired.

02:51:55.100 Mr. Chairman, I recognize the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Keating.

02:51:58.240 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

02:51:59.560 I want to talk briefly about the current U.S. doctrine.

02:52:02.120 Okay, here we go. 0.99

02:52:03.580 Democrats about to fucking go after them again. 0.99

02:52:06.340 conducted the administration in as soon as i said massachusetts i already knew what time it was 0.99

02:52:13.960 particular events and and a series of events actually as everybody in the dais and the

02:52:19.700 witness table uh is aware the department of defense law of war manual specifies that any 0.98

02:52:25.800 order to kill shipwrecked persons in an illegal order would constitute a war crime oh shit okay

02:52:33.900 For some of you guys that don't know, in the beginning of the war, a group of Iranian sailors had done a like a show event. 0.98

02:52:44.680 Right. Like they had done like a like a boat show or some shit in India. 0.68

02:52:48.220 And as they were sailing back to Iran. 0.97

02:52:51.960 Trump authorized and hexed basically a submarine torpedo that killed several of the sailors and almost killed a bunch of killed like half the sailors.

02:53:02.660 And the only reason they survived is because they were calling for help and the Sri Lankan National Coast Guard, their equivalent of Coast Guard, came and rescued them.

02:53:12.960 So this is what he's referring to, Chad.

02:53:15.100 Or this is what I anticipate he's going to refer to.

02:53:17.060 Let's see if I'm right.

02:53:19.120 It isn't suggested.

02:53:20.220 There's a specific example to show a clear cut.

02:53:24.980 The United States waited until they got into international waters and then attacked them.

02:53:28.520 example of what this entails in our own manual with that in mind let's look back a few weeks ago

02:53:35.900 when a fishing crew ended a long day of hard fishing okay he's using it for the kinetic

02:53:40.820 strikes all right scoring a full stock of that's another thing that they're going to try to claim

02:53:45.360 as a war crime too by the way chat that whole um iranian uh vessel they got bombed david zen

02:53:50.880 thank you for the gifted albacore and swordfish on board without any warning or expectation this

02:53:56.960 small ecuadorian fishing vessel bro yo guys i am so confident when the next administration comes in 0.98

02:54:01.900 they're 100 going to indict trump and uh fucking hexath for this shit bro these kinetic strikes 0.99

02:54:07.280 on these drug dealer boats that a democrat is going to be chomping at the bit when they get 1.00

02:54:12.480 into office to indict these guys for that shit dude operating about 200 nautical miles off the 0.99

02:54:18.900 galapagos islands was militarily engaged by u.s forces it was hit once then it was hit again 0.99

02:54:25.840 Not a warning shot, not an interdiction

02:54:27.980 Two drone strikes

02:54:29.580 Yeah, they did that double tap, man

02:54:31.780 Survivors describe chaos

02:54:34.300 And severe injuries

02:54:35.780 Our U.S. forces then handcuffed the crew

02:54:38.120 At gunpoint, placed black hoods

02:54:40.360 Over their heads, seized and scrubbed

02:54:42.400 Their devices, and then held them for days 1.00

02:54:44.660 Oh, shit 1.00

02:54:46.160 Bro, they treat these niggas like Al-Qaeda 1.00

02:54:48.500 Ultimately 1.00

02:54:49.780 That's what happens when you designate people as fucking narco terrorists 1.00

02:54:52.580 The crew was released 0.99

02:54:54.520 Given there was no evidence

02:54:56.340 No evidence to support any narco activity or any charges that may be against them.

02:55:02.360 So to recap, we struck a vessel.

02:55:04.240 We struck it again.

02:55:05.280 Set fire to it as it was sinking.

02:55:08.080 And as public reports say, even drank their beer.

02:55:10.980 We detained the survivors.

02:55:14.000 Ah, Hex said, you know, he told them to do that one.

02:55:16.260 And then we let them go.

02:55:17.780 This should be eye-opening.

02:55:19.780 Let's go to another example.

02:55:21.160 the double-tap or two-strike attack

02:55:23.640 that took place on September 2nd in the Caribbean.

02:55:27.160 A vessel was struck, disabled, and then struck again, killing...

02:55:30.320 Yo, you know the crazy part of this chat? 0.99

02:55:31.780 Like, they release all this shit on Twitter. 0.97

02:55:33.500 Like, it's classified, it'll do a declassify 1.00

02:55:35.120 and show all the fucking strikes to the boats on Twitter, bro. 0.98

02:55:37.800 Like, that's free evidence. 1.00

02:55:41.100 Free evidence, bro. 0.99

02:55:42.800 Normally that shit's supposed to be highly classified, bro. 1.00

02:55:45.580 These niggas are posting that shit on Twitter. 1.00

02:55:47.060 like yo 1.00

02:55:51.680 all but two survivors

02:55:55.020 Trumpy posted on True Social 0.99

02:55:57.600 Hexeth posted on fucking 0.99

02:55:58.700 his department of war account 0.99

02:56:01.460 like buddy

02:56:02.980 buddy buddy 0.98

02:56:05.400 y'all niggas know that the democrats 1.00

02:56:07.600 are saving all this shit man if they ever get in power 1.00

02:56:09.740 y'all niggas are cocked man 1.00

02:56:11.280 cocked 0.94

02:56:12.420 left clinging to the wreckage and this is the thing we know this happened we know yeah you

02:56:23.020 guys heard it here first i've been told you when they were doing these kinetic strikes that this 0.99

02:56:26.000 is going to be this is going to come back to bite this whole administration in the ass dude 0.98

02:56:29.160 especially hexa he's going to be the one left left holding the bag how it happened and the 0.98

02:56:37.220 defense department still refuses to release the follow-up video of the killing unless trump can

02:56:41.900 find out like he's gonna have to do like um preemptive pardons for everybody and i even know

02:56:47.660 if you can really like if that shit really works like that but he's absolutely gonna have to do

02:56:50.660 preemptive pardons before he leaves office of the shipwrecked survivors even though they released 0.96

02:56:55.840 the initial one to the public in major news networks worldwide no difference in sources

02:57:03.120 and methods in the two videos but still not released to the public of course the backlash

02:57:08.860 was severe at the time and perhaps is being forgotten.

02:57:12.600 And in a predictable but ennoble display of character

02:57:15.920 from this administration, fingers were pointed at one another

02:57:19.100 as everyone scurried to cover, in a tacit acknowledgement

02:57:21.980 that this was an issue potentially violating international law.

02:57:26.640 Now, I've reviewed what's been available,

02:57:28.940 the phony rationale that these attacks are about fentanyl trafficking.

02:57:34.600 When we know fentanyl comes from China, India, through Mexico, then the baseless argument that this was about narco-terrorism, you know, I don't believe a word of it.

02:57:46.780 This was to create leverage for regime change in Venezuela.

02:57:52.320 And now the president acknowledged that was about oil.

02:57:55.360 Beyond the simple need for justice and exercising American values, it's important for us to

02:58:02.260 discuss what the U.S. belligerence in the world stage means to our security, our ability

02:58:08.020 to marshal cooperation with our allies, and most importantly, not to normalize these actions

02:58:15.040 that could endanger the lives of our own service members put in similar peril.

02:58:23.240 Let me be clear about one thing, whether it's these particular strikes discussed here, the one that killed 11 others off the coast of Venezuela,

02:58:30.520 whether it's the 178 other killings with each of these extrajudicial killings, the administration is pirating American values.

02:58:40.800 We'll continue to investigate this. We will.

02:58:46.260 That's a fact. Democrats are not going to let this go, man.

02:58:49.860 I called it as soon as I started posting the show on internet

02:58:52.860 I was like yeah this is cooked

02:58:53.980 forward in the future

02:58:56.020 someday

02:58:56.900 that second video will be released

02:59:00.420 but we've got to stop

02:59:02.780 also using our precious resources

02:59:04.720 that are being taxed so heavily

02:59:07.040 all over the world on actions

02:59:08.840 that hurt our military

02:59:10.880 Lavelle new emoji

02:59:12.880 available that's funny

02:59:13.940 whatever happened to trees being punishable by death

02:59:16.140 oh no I read that one

02:59:17.000 Troy Sherman to subscribe.

02:59:19.520 Thank you, brother.

02:59:21.280 They hurt our military and they hurt our standing internationally.

02:59:25.700 And they're hurting our standard here at home.

02:59:30.080 I hope that we can move forward.

02:59:33.220 I hope we can review whether these are justified because I found no justification.

02:59:40.000 We were given classified information on the second strike.

02:59:43.700 I can't discuss it. 0.99

02:59:45.000 But I must tell you, it's the most convoluted bullshit I ever heard in my life. 0.99

02:59:51.040 This should be public. 0.99

02:59:52.520 This is our honor.

02:59:53.760 This is what makes America a difference maker.

02:59:56.800 This is what we're proud of.

02:59:57.480 It's an incredible array of false accusations.

02:59:59.980 And I yield back my time.

03:00:02.220 Gentleman yields back.

03:00:03.520 The chair now recognizes the gentleman from Texas, Dr. Jackson.

03:00:07.260 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

03:00:08.160 Thank you, Secretary Hegseth and General Cain and Mr. Hurst, for your bold leadership and for your time today.

03:00:15.040 I really appreciate it.

03:00:16.520 I can't tell you how awesome this hearing is today.

03:00:19.980 It's fantastic.

03:00:20.860 From someone who's sat up here for four years during the last administration, this is a great day.

03:00:27.000 Despite some of the crazy and disrespectful comments from some in this room, the Department of War is back.

03:00:32.440 Today is a win because we are discussing American power and dominance, national security, and making America great again.

03:00:39.040 There may be differences in how we go about that, but at least we are not wasting all of our time talking about how to restructure the Department of War

03:00:46.460 into a social experiment that appeases the far-left woke agenda that existed for the last four years.

03:00:53.800 Thank God those four years of the disastrous Biden administration are done.

03:00:57.960 on behalf of someone who served 25 years on active duty and almost everyone that that

03:01:04.180 reconciliation package is properly tailored and timed so that it is passed so that critical money

03:01:09.040 gets there so we're not looking to fy 28 or fy 29 because we need those capabilities right now

03:01:14.560 which is why i appreciate the chairman's opening question about reconciliation it is a critical

03:01:19.020 vehicle in this calendar year to ensure this department is fully funded to meet the threats

03:01:25.100 of the future. Well, thank you. Once again, I think you guys are doing an incredible job. I

03:01:28.660 appreciate your leadership, and thank you for your time today. I yield back, Mr. Chair. Gentleman

03:01:31.880 yields back. Chair, I recognize the gentlelady from Pennsylvania, Ms. Houlihan. Thank you, Mr. 0.98

03:01:36.760 Chair, and I appreciate you, gentlemen, for being here today and for the opportunity to have a

03:01:42.360 face-to-face conversation with each of you. I have many questions and unfortunately need to start

03:01:48.180 with some that disturbed me, Mr. Secretary, from your opening remarks. In your opening remarks,

03:01:53.760 Mr. Secretary, you reserved more words and more time and more vitriol to condemn Democrats

03:02:00.700 than you did for Xi and for Putin combined. It's pretty telling to me that you decided to use your

03:02:07.600 words and your time for that. Here she is, snowflake already disappointed. Turns out that

03:02:12.900 Democrats, even Democrats in Congress, are patriots as well. We serve in our uniformed

03:02:19.300 services, we admire and love our uniform services, and we love our country just as much as Republicans

03:02:25.200 do. In fact, in this body, I and Representative Bacon, who you just spoke to, led the junior

03:02:32.160 enlisted pay raises that you now sit there and laud and take credit for. We led the closing

03:02:38.720 of the BAH, which then you ended up poaching and using for other things. This body led 0.79

03:02:46.040 and authorized Ukrainian funding that is now being withheld.

03:02:49.880 You also, in your opening remarks, strangely admonished us here

03:02:53.440 for not being patient with the results of your two-month war,

03:02:56.800 a war of your suggestion to this president, a war of your choice,

03:03:01.220 a war you executed without congressional consultation.

03:03:04.560 And so it shouldn't be shocking, sir, Mr. Secretary, that we have questions.

03:03:08.660 Indeed, it's constitutionally our right to do so.

03:03:11.080 So to be clear, despite a brilliant performance by our men and women in uniform, despite thousands of tactical successes, Iran still has nuclear material, still has air defenses, still has small boats, and still has the strait.

03:03:29.080 So, despite the fact that your recent comments indicate that operations appear to be finished,

03:03:35.080 there clearly is more work that needs to be done.

03:03:38.080 As mentioned, today is indeed 60 days.

03:03:40.080 So, Mr. Secretary, how many more months, just order of magnitude,

03:03:44.080 do you think that you're going to need to be able to conclude operations successfully?

03:03:48.080 And how many more billions of dollars do you think you're going to ask this body for?

03:03:54.080 As you know, and as the President has stated, you would never tell your adversary.

03:03:58.080 adversary, especially once you've decimated their military and you control their freight,

03:04:05.460 how long you would be committed to the mission. And the next thing that you mentioned in your

03:04:08.960 opening remarks, Mr. Secretary, is that you called on, which astounded me, examples of the Afghanistan

03:04:16.300 war, the Iraq war, and the Vietnam war. Those are stunning examples to me of something that

03:04:21.620 didn't go our way. We had the opportunity to execute on those wars quite well, but we didn't

03:04:27.760 accomplish any mission in my opinion and i think you would agree on that as well my point is this

03:04:31.960 effort is not those efforts that's exactly it is this we're shaping up to be that war

03:04:36.400 because it has we're shaping up to get the same kind of democrats we got in those wars who

03:04:40.880 were naysayers from the beginning undermining the progress of troops for two months in

03:04:46.400 and not about parties this the democrat party wanted to socially engineer the department of

03:04:51.680 war we've had to undo that and get it to a point where it's capable of protecting power

03:04:55.880 Clearly you're not able to have that conversation, so I will move on, sir, and I'm going to reclaim my time.

03:05:01.440 General George, let's talk about a guy who's a patriot, somebody who every single person here in this dais and down there in that audience and out there in this world has huge admiration for.

03:05:12.440 Why did he get fired?

03:05:13.880 Drink those. Welcome back.

03:05:15.420 Well, as with any moves we make with general officers, first of all, I thank them for their service, and ultimately—

03:05:24.620 My impression is you thanked him by a text or a phone call.

03:05:27.660 You didn't even do it to his face.

03:05:30.200 Out of respect for these officers, we never talk about the nature of their removal,

03:05:33.780 but every one of them, including myself, knows that they serve at the pleasure of the president.

03:05:37.060 So why did you fire him?

03:05:38.880 Ultimately, out of respect to these officers, we don't reveal it.

03:05:41.360 However, I will note, it's very difficult to change the culture of a department

03:05:44.840 that has been destroyed by the wrong perspectives.

03:05:47.120 So you think General George destroyed a culture?

03:05:49.460 there are many we've we've gotten rid of many general officers in this administration because

03:05:55.140 we need new leadership you have no way of explaining why you fired one of the most

03:05:58.620 decorated and remarkable men who's we needed new leadership all right looks like trump made a new

03:06:03.820 warning let's see here meanwhile the wall street journal reporting president trump could be

03:06:09.720 preparing for an extended blockade of iranian ports and brian yenis has the latest from tel aviv

03:06:15.140 Good morning.

03:06:16.620 Hey, OSS guys, what do you want to cover on OSS? 0.95

03:06:19.560 I was going to get off soon, but I'm like, you know what, man, let's fucking do something for OSS. 0.82

03:06:23.800 Dana, good morning. 0.95

03:06:24.240 What do you just want to do?

03:06:24.980 Good morning.

03:06:25.460 Well, the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports is now in its 16th day,

03:06:29.500 and this morning the Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump has instructed his aides

03:06:33.820 to prepare to extend this blockade with the goal of collapsing Iran's economy enough

03:06:39.300 to force Iran to agree to a deal to end its nuclear program.

03:06:43.640 Now, the president reportedly assesses that the blockade is less risky than walking away entirely or resuming military strikes, at least for now.

03:06:52.620 This morning, President Trump posted a warning, quote, Iran can't get their act together. 0.69

03:06:57.540 They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. 0.94

03:07:00.060 They better get smart soon.

03:07:01.820 The post includes an image that reads, no more Mr. Nice Guy, with the president holding a gun surrounded by explosions. 1.00

03:07:08.920 Now, Iran International reports said, in turn, fucking retarded. 0.97

03:07:13.640 Currently, Iran's leaders acknowledge its economy cannot withstand another three to five more weeks of this blockade. 0.98

03:07:20.700 So far, two million jobs have been lost.

03:07:23.360 Half of Iran. 0.77

03:07:23.880 Chad, do you guys want me to do the one verse 20, one Israeli verse 20 Palestinians,

03:07:28.320 or do you guys want me to review the Owen Schroer and Andrew Wilson debate?

03:07:31.280 Finish that up.

03:07:32.480 And police cams. 0.76

03:07:35.320 Wilson Schroer or one Israeli verse 20 Palestinians or pre-Palestinians? 0.99

03:07:40.580 Let me 1.00

03:07:43.820 We could do both 0.98

03:08:05.100 Iran's jobs are at risk the value of Iran's real currency has dropped 98 percent to a record low 0.97

03:08:13.260 today inflation is up 67 percent with the price of chicken up 75 percent and oh shit beef and lamb

03:08:20.400 is up 68 percent in the meantime the U.S. has surged more military assets to the region 0.88

03:08:25.760 Fox's General Jack Keene says military strikes in his opinion should resume because this blockade

03:08:32.380 ultimately won't work. Eventually it could cause an economic collapse, but they don't care about

03:08:39.560 the suffering of their people. In my judgment, what we need to do is finish the objectives

03:08:45.620 in terms of the military objectives that have been assigned to the Israeli forces

03:08:49.780 and to the American forces, and let's finish what we started.

03:08:55.300 Here in Tel Aviv, the Israeli defense minister says that Israel is prepared to renew this war

03:09:00.800 and is simply just waiting for the green light from the U.S.

03:09:04.480 Dana?

03:09:05.340 A great report and more to come as we go over to Bill at the board.

03:09:09.220 So, Dana, getting the word from the White House just late last night

03:09:11.860 that the president has said we're going to stick with the blockade,

03:09:14.620 going to stick with the blockade and try and starve economically Iran as we speak today.

03:09:20.160 This is Karg Island. 0.91

03:09:21.260 Brian talking about that here in the Persian Gulf.

03:09:23.660 This is the area where Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says

03:09:26.500 that the oil capacity is reaching its maximum level.

03:09:29.920 What does that mean?

03:09:30.800 That means once you're taking oil out of the ground, you'll... 1.00

03:09:33.860 This stupid shit again. 1.00

03:09:35.280 We have so many places to put it. 1.00

03:09:37.200 There's a report that they pulled two 30-year-old giant tankers out of service.

03:09:41.620 Fox News, a.k.a. Fox Juice.

03:09:43.020 ...to put them back into service to store some of the oil there in Iran,

03:09:48.180 losing now $170 million a day for the Iranian economy.

03:09:53.840 Here's what I want to show you right here.

03:09:55.440 This is around the time the war started.

03:09:57.960 This is April 21st, just about last week.

03:10:00.440 You see the orange line here?

03:10:02.420 Let me try and watch this here.

03:10:04.560 In the last week, as it goes down and declines, that's the oil output for Iran, and that direction

03:10:10.720 is not the way you want to be if you're running the regime and you want to feed your people

03:10:15.100 and make sure your economy stays strong.

03:10:17.580 This is a port here on the southern coast of Iran, okay?

03:10:21.300 Normally, you'd have about five vessels a day moored in that sea off the coast of Iran.

03:10:26.840 today, they're well over 20, which shows you that this line right here with the U.S. blockade is

03:10:32.480 working. Nobody in, nobody out. If you're reporting to any of these Iranian ports that run through the

03:10:39.260 Gulf of Oman, through the Strait of Hormuz, and up here through the Persian Gulf, it is a no-go 0.65

03:10:44.840 zone, and right now that blockade has worked. With regard to OPEC, in the Middle East, all these

03:10:49.880 countries are members of OPEC, and yesterday, the United Arab Emirates, right, located right here,

03:10:56.080 They say they've been hit more than 2,500 times on behalf of Iranian drones and missiles.

03:11:04.520 And the UAE says this Friday, May 1st, the end of the week, they're pulling out of OPEC.

03:11:10.340 What does that mean for the markets?

03:11:11.680 Something really we have to watch, where the average gallon of gasoline in America is now well over $4 a gallon for the first time.

03:11:19.300 Rebecca Heinrichs, Hudson Institute senior fellow here with Dana and me to talk more about it.

03:11:24.440 Rebecca, good day to you.

03:11:26.080 Where are we now when the president has made the decision to keep the blockade there and try

03:11:31.180 and starve this regime? In effect, you're starving the people of Iran, too, a nation of 92 million.

03:11:38.900 So the first thing I think it's important to keep in mind is we don't want to harm the Iranian

03:11:43.060 people. Obviously, that's a secondary effect of squeezing the regime economically. And remember,

03:11:48.740 before we even began Epic Fury, the regime was already suffering economically. But the goal here

03:11:54.300 is to cut off their ability to fund the IRGC.

03:11:58.080 I mean, already we've got...

03:11:59.100 Ships are still getting through. 1.00

03:12:00.440 Can't believe they're still fucking running with this dumbass shit. 1.00

03:12:02.800 ...reports. 1.00

03:12:03.540 Caspian Sea is still open. Trade is not done.

03:12:06.660 ...that says that the regime can't fund...

03:12:08.480 They only did half the job.

03:12:09.940 ...they're mercenaries. They cannot fund militia members.

03:12:12.180 And at the same time, the United States bill is offering up to $10 million rewards

03:12:18.240 for essentially giving the United States information about the heads of Iranian-backed militia leaders.

03:12:24.300 THAT'S GOING TO LOOK INCREASINGLY ATTRACTIVE AS WE TRY TO FURTHER SPLINTER THE REGIME AND

03:12:30.060 AGAIN TRY TO FIND PEOPLE WHO, IN THE WORDS OF MARCO RUBIO, ARE MORE WILLING TO MAKE RISK

03:12:35.740 ASSESSMENTS AND MAKE BETTER JUDGMENTS AND NEGOTIATE WITH THE UNITED STATES. 0.74

03:12:38.940 I BROUGHT THIS UP LAST HOUR, REBECCA, THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR SAID THAT IRAN'S

03:12:43.100 SECURITY INSTITUTIONS EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT POTENTIAL PROTEST CALLS AND ASSESS THAT WORSENING

03:12:48.300 ECONOMIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS INFLATION, UNEMPLOYMENT AND RISING PRICES COULD TRIGGER

03:12:53.100 THEIR RENEWED UNREST.

03:12:54.340 I ASK AGAIN, LET'S SEE IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION.

03:12:57.020 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE WITH THE PEOPLE OF IRAN?

03:13:01.780 WELL, WE KNOW VERY LITTLE, BUT WE REMEMBER IN THE BEGINNING OF EPIC FURY THAT THE TRUMP

03:13:07.280 ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS WERE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE, ESSENTIALLY TALK TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE

03:13:13.120 TO SAY THAT THIS WAR IS NOT AGAINST YOU AND WAIT.

03:13:16.440 WE'RE ABOUT TO BE AT 120 FOR BRENT, CHAT.

03:13:19.200 WE'RE ABOUT TO BE AT 120 FOR BRENT.

03:13:21.540 We don't want you to come out yet and protest, but there will be a time in which we will indicate.

03:13:27.060 President Trump also said earlier on in the war that the United States had attempted to get weapons into some people who might be willing to use them against the regime.

03:13:37.320 We had to halt that because they were intercepted, didn't get to the Iranian people.

03:13:40.460 Yep. There we go. Admitting it once again. Admitting it once again.

03:13:44.780 I told you, Chad, that whole fucking rebellion was a fucking astral turf. 0.99

03:13:48.000 I THINK WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO 1.00

03:13:49.760 TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR PEOPLE.

03:13:51.380 I THINK WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO

03:13:53.120 TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR PEOPLE.

03:13:54.560 BUT MY QUESTION IS, DANA, ARE

03:13:56.520 WE DOING THAT NOW?

03:13:57.960 HAVE WE USED THIS CEASE-FIRE

03:14:00.220 ESSENTIALLY TO DO SOME, YOU KNOW,

03:14:03.120 CIA OPERATIONS INSIDE IRAN TO

03:14:05.100 MAKE SURE THAT THE IRANIAN PEOPLE

03:14:06.720 ARE ARMED? 1.00

03:14:07.440 BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE A

03:14:09.240 GREAT ASSET FOR THE UNITED STATES.

03:14:10.960 IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THEM TO

03:14:12.760 FINALLY PUSH OVER THE REGIME.

03:14:14.400 BUT THE REGIME IS VERY FEARFUL, 0.89

03:14:16.440 I THINK, OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. 0.99

03:14:17.960 The people are being backed, are backing the Iranian. 1.00

03:14:21.020 Dude, so much Osbara bullshit. 1.00

03:14:22.960 It's actually nuts. 1.00

03:14:25.420 Holy, man.

03:14:27.080 The army is like religious zealots, and which ones aren't?

03:14:31.020 That's a part of the question, too.

03:14:33.360 Renegade, thank you for subscribing, bro.

03:14:35.500 U.S. economy having trouble.

03:14:37.000 I think we're due for a good recession.

03:14:38.680 We'll finish reacting to this, guys.

03:14:40.040 We're going to do the debate with Andrew Wilson and Owen Schroer.

03:14:46.500 We're going to keep watching that.

03:14:47.960 and also do some police videos as well so oh my bad that's police cam sorry chat it's not fun

03:15:10.040 i know look look the trumpet i don't the midterm election i think they realize they've lost the

03:15:14.200 So the midterms isn't even a calculation here.

03:15:16.480 Look, this is the long-term goals here.

03:15:18.760 Again, short-term pain, long-term pain.

03:15:20.120 I don't know about that.

03:15:20.880 I don't know about that.

03:15:22.420 When I speak, you're not dealing with a guy that throws in the towel that quickly.

03:15:30.740 You're not dealing with them.

03:15:31.980 You're dealing with a guy that thinks he can turn anything around.

03:15:37.060 He is wired in a very different way.

03:15:39.980 Yeah, but there's no off-ramp for this, really,

03:15:42.660 where he's going to have to concede on some stuff he doesn't want to concede in.

03:15:46.320 The problem is that he wants capitulation and total victory.

03:15:50.440 That's the problem, and he's not going to get that here.

03:15:52.240 And the average person tries to understand him, in my opinion.

03:15:55.300 Now, having said that, you know how quickly we were talking about

03:16:00.040 everything was Epstein.

03:16:01.500 Story went away. 0.68

03:16:02.740 Everything is Iran. 0.90

03:16:03.820 Story goes around.

03:16:04.520 Everything is World Cup.

03:16:06.120 We move so quickly.

03:16:08.780 The average person moves on so quickly that it's like,

03:16:11.760 You know when somebody attacks you and you're maybe a newer influencer?

03:16:17.000 Oh, my God, they wrote a hit piece on you.

03:16:19.220 They lose sleep every night.

03:16:21.360 But you know what the guy that's been around the block for a while says?

03:16:24.040 Bro, this story's going to be done in 48 hours.

03:16:25.900 People have lives to live.

03:16:26.880 They're going to move on.

03:16:27.760 But if it goes.

03:16:28.980 Yeah, that's true. 1.00

03:16:29.680 When you're a controversial figure, bro, you just get used to this shit, bro. 1.00

03:16:32.720 Oh, man, you just get used to it. 0.99

03:16:34.300 My opinion, John, and please push back.

03:16:36.300 I want you guys to disagree with me if you don't.

03:16:39.320 My opinion.

03:16:40.000 if they're able to figure it out before World Cup, we're scored away.

03:16:45.440 Because World Cup is the biggest positive distraction they will have.

03:16:49.580 Something massive is going to happen in the World Cup, and then we move on.

03:16:53.440 Then you have 4th of July, 250-year anniversary.

03:16:57.100 Then you've got the UFC fight at the White House.

03:16:59.740 You have so many positive distractions that market's going to be like,

03:17:04.140 and by the way, you know how this guy works.

03:17:05.820 He's going to tweet something and say, you know, we have come to an agreement.

03:17:10.900 We are very close for Cuba to be the 51st state or Cuba to be, you know, and I was, oh, my God, we have come to Greenland.

03:17:18.400 And the next topic is that.

03:17:19.440 So as much as I want to say I'm with you 70 percent on midterms, I don't think he's wired like that.

03:17:25.380 And I don't think his team is wired.

03:17:26.500 And it's not it's not just Trump because, of course, he's not doing the voting.

03:17:29.140 I think what you said about Iran is true of the U.S.

03:17:31.320 You need somewhere to run to, not just somewhere to run from. 0.74

03:17:34.200 And the average voter says, I'm tired of Trump or the war or whatever.

03:17:38.420 10 to McLovin, appreciate you.

03:17:40.000 And he looks at his average Democrat and says, oh, wait a minute.

03:17:43.040 Do I really want that team in power?

03:17:44.660 We'll see what happens.

03:17:45.480 It's interesting you're saying that.

03:17:46.840 The one pushback I have for you is that the one issue that Americans have focused on for year after year after year,

03:17:53.900 talking about five years now, the kitchen table issue.

03:17:56.140 Yeah.

03:17:56.560 Yeah.

03:17:56.860 Cost of living.

03:17:57.520 So you can distract them all they want when they go home and try to fill up the gas.

03:18:01.120 No, no, you're right.

03:18:01.980 No, you're right.

03:18:02.780 yeah and that's why people are pissed off because that's what trump campaigned on which was

03:18:05.860 affordability you know that's what he campaigned on and no new wars and and i'm telling you you're

03:18:12.340 right when it comes up and immigration immigration no new wars and affordability onto that right now

03:18:16.560 do you know how bad farmers are doing right now you know farmers right now i think bankruptcy

03:18:21.820 for farmers last year in 2025 was up 50 uh 46 percent bankruptcies you know the straight of

03:18:27.700 Hormuz, how much they're relying on the fertilizer is crazy. Like Australia is getting cooked right

03:18:33.120 now. There's like a lot of fertilizer goes through there and a lot of people are having

03:18:37.640 food shortages. I'm telling you guys, this Strait of Hormuz being closed goes way beyond

03:18:41.780 just crude, man. There's like other serious supply chain issues that are going to arise

03:18:46.500 from this. Fertilizer that's coming from the Strait of Hormuz, how big of a liability this

03:18:50.980 is for them. And when you go through all the different kinds, what they even more reason

03:18:55.220 why this war is retarded needed for price going from 300 to 650 in months so they're dealing with 0.93

03:19:02.160 regulation they're dealing with prices going up for you know fertilizer they're dealing with all 0.89

03:19:06.900 this stuff so i think that that economy so oh my god farmers are charging up farmers are not making

03:19:11.960 any money if you look at the average farmers margins they make three to twelve percent if

03:19:15.160 they're lucky and they make zero to five percent on average and most of the time they're losing

03:19:19.640 money so we got to make sure they're good we got to make sure the younger guys are buying houses

03:19:23.860 having kids you know and you're saying first-time buyers dropping from 40 to 26 so they can't afford 0.99

03:19:29.660 to buy they can't do it because boomers are retarded and fucked up everything boomers like 0.99

03:19:35.280 we're able to really get the american dream versus like people are our age group like we're cooked 0.99

03:19:39.160 you know that's the truth you have to work a lot harder nowadays to get the same lifestyle that

03:19:47.560 your parents had for basically with a regular entry-level job that didn't require an education

03:19:51.680 I think that affordability issue was there before Iran, but this just kind of ratcheted things up a lot. 0.86

03:19:58.980 We can't do it the European way by writing everybody checks because that will just cause more inflation.

03:20:03.080 But we are doing that with farmers.

03:20:04.440 We gave them $44 billion this year.

03:20:06.520 Sometimes it's necessary.

03:20:08.080 With farmers it may be, but I want to hear his thoughts on farmers.

03:20:10.540 Well, that's where, you know, it would be lovely if they could score a victory.

03:20:14.940 If Venezuela would actually have a change of regime, if Cuba would have a change of regime,

03:20:19.220 If Iran would have a change of regime, that would be, hey, we actually notched one big victory.

03:20:23.820 Otherwise, you know, yes, you and I, we say, oh, in the long run, this is a good thing for the U.S. strategically.

03:20:28.920 But at some point, you want to win a political goal.

03:20:31.660 That's massive. 0.92

03:20:32.420 If they do flip Iran. 0.94

03:20:34.820 If. 0.88

03:20:35.420 That's a big if.

03:20:36.380 It's a 5-10%, by the way.

03:20:38.000 I'm putting it very low.

03:20:39.060 But if they're able to flip that, this may be a complete.

03:20:42.640 I think it's a higher percentage of success.

03:20:44.760 And if it does happen, it'll certainly be worth it.

03:20:47.200 So, again, it's short-term pain.

03:20:48.660 I think they realize this is going to cause short-term pain.

03:20:50.980 And this food issue is much bigger than people who are giving it credit for.

03:20:53.880 Not only will you have people who are pissed off about the economy for the last couple of years,

03:20:57.420 now you jack up the price of gasoline.

03:20:59.740 It's going to get to $5, maybe $5.50, $6 a gallon.

03:21:02.900 You're going to see food prices rise not next month, but three, four, five months from now.

03:21:08.000 So there will be a delayed effect right before the midterms.

03:21:10.380 And it's baked in the cake at this point.

03:21:12.560 There's no going back.

03:21:13.160 If they get the Hormuz problem solved tomorrow, it's too late.

03:21:16.680 There's still going to be some short-term pain.

03:21:18.000 So by the time you get to November, you're going to have gasoline prices are still relatively high, even if they start to come back down.

03:21:24.040 You have food prices that are going to be up.

03:21:25.660 There's going to be a lot of unrest around the rest of the world.

03:21:27.660 So I think Trump administration is being pragmatic.

03:21:29.560 This is much worse than the rest of the world, and that's going to spill over to us.

03:21:31.880 Yeah.

03:21:32.540 You said this is much worse for the rest of the world?

03:21:34.300 Yeah, much worse.

03:21:35.340 Much worse.

03:21:35.980 The food and energy issue.

03:21:37.020 They rely on us.

03:21:37.860 So we have to lead the way.

03:21:39.040 Well, the fertilizer issue is underappreciated.

03:21:42.740 We could see, I mean, if Australia is getting destroyed by it, man.

03:21:46.040 It's really creating some serious issues in Australia.

03:21:47.940 Any Australians in here, guys?

03:21:49.320 How's your food cost going right now?

03:21:50.640 If it continues to go this way, you can see countries fall.

03:21:53.200 You can see regimes collapse.

03:21:55.580 That's the real downside scenario.

03:21:57.100 Oh, my God.

03:21:58.000 When you look at the data of how bad it's impacting farmers,

03:22:01.320 you don't just 10 years.

03:22:03.020 This year, we're committing to $44.3 billion to farmers.

03:22:06.440 Also, keep in mind, guys, Iran makes like 80% of their own food, man.

03:22:11.280 So we're not starving them.

03:22:12.220 We're starving our allies.

03:22:13.060 because less than 9% of farmers are under the age.

03:22:17.960 Australia's really getting shafted because Trump makes fun of them,

03:22:20.860 put them in a bad spot, and then says,

03:22:22.220 oh, you guys need to fight to open up the trade again. 1.00

03:22:24.560 It's like, no, bro, you fucking fucked it up. 0.99

03:22:26.320 You're 35, which means young guys are now growing up saying, 1.00

03:22:28.880 I want to be a farmer.

03:22:29.540 Everybody's above 35.

03:22:31.300 $44.3 billion we have to give them this year.

03:22:33.940 Farmers, 10 years ago, that was only $11, $12 billion.

03:22:37.180 In 10 years, it's 4X.

03:22:38.800 Well, I will challenge the have to.

03:22:41.100 So Franklin Roosevelt started giving money to farmers.

03:22:43.880 We've been doing it ever since.

03:22:45.420 The fraction of the U.S. who works on farms is way under 2% right now, 0.99

03:22:49.160 most of which are illegal immigrants.

03:22:52.180 So, you know, this is a tiny slice of the U.S. economy.

03:22:55.000 They lost illegal immigrants.

03:22:55.500 They lost some of those immigrants. 0.99

03:22:56.320 Well, that's another problem for farms is you can't get Americans to do it.

03:23:00.940 So there's stuff rotting on the vine right now because you can't get workers.

03:23:04.240 You can't.

03:23:04.940 That's the one thing you can't.

03:23:06.320 God loves farmers.

03:23:07.900 For the U.S., it's a small fraction of our economy that, God forbid, could be allowed to be the free market.

03:23:12.240 If you're in the Philippines, if you're in Thailand, if you're in Malaysia, you know, they— 0.64

03:23:16.600 South America. 0.51

03:23:17.320 South America.

03:23:17.760 That's where it's really going to hit.

03:23:18.560 This is really hard on the overall economy as well as just—

03:23:21.440 Yeah, so I always wonder about that.

03:23:22.920 So play that out.

03:23:23.880 What does that look like if we don't do farming subsidies?

03:23:25.700 Because I always wondered if that was necessary or if they did it so that farmers could sell it at lower prices

03:23:31.020 so they didn't have to kind of raise the prices with the market fluctuations.

03:23:34.400 What would that look like if we stopped with farming subsidies?

03:23:37.360 We would get cheaper food at... 0.91

03:23:41.240 More productive.

03:23:42.000 More productive and cheaper food.

03:23:44.040 And the price of food always goes up when fertilizer goes down.

03:23:47.800 Even if where you're at doesn't need it.

03:23:52.080 Subsidizing are all the unproductive farms.

03:23:55.180 Right. 0.97

03:23:55.540 Because they can't make enough food to make it profitable to sell at the market.

03:24:00.860 Are they worried they would go out of business, though, if they had to lower the price that much?

03:24:04.020 They will.

03:24:04.240 So you eliminate some of the unproductive producers and the overall system, you know, they get absorbed by the larger producers.

03:24:10.040 Yeah, the mom and pop car company went away in the 1920s.

03:24:13.360 Sorry, they were cute, but, you know, big companies are more efficient.

03:24:16.640 Can't compete with Ford.

03:24:18.560 So why doesn't Trump understand that, though?

03:24:20.040 Because Trump does the law of farming subsidies and he seems like a free market guy, so.

03:24:23.580 Trump is not a free market guy and everybody.

03:24:25.680 Let me just try to.

03:24:30.960 Terra funds.

03:24:34.240 Uh, let's see here.

03:24:41.640 All right.

03:24:45.080 Musk Warren's robot.

03:24:46.420 Musk first.

03:24:48.120 Kimmel under fire.

03:24:53.280 All right, let's see here.

03:24:59.940 Let's see what happened with this King Charles thing.

03:25:04.240 And originally it was meant for an incoming commander as an opportunity to inspect the

03:25:19.240 troops.

03:25:20.240 Make sure they're ready for combat.

03:25:25.240 they will now expect together

03:25:27.220 he also delivered a speech

03:25:40.440 in front of all the whole squad

03:25:55.240 Trump's third assassination explained.

03:25:58.520 All right, let's jump on, see what's going on with Al Jazeera here.

03:26:00.300 Bottom line, the way that the U.S. looks at warfare and peacemaking is very problematic.

03:26:06.140 We're going to transition, guys, soon to the debate here, shooting stuff.

03:26:13.300 Let's see what's the latest with this, actually. 0.99

03:26:15.440 Oh, shit, they're still going. 0.99

03:26:16.940 Just a Navy problem. 1.00

03:26:18.140 I mean, we've seen the same on MQ-9s and Apaches and A-10s and systems that warfighters continue to rely on,

03:26:24.060 Which is why divesting to invest, which was sold under the previous administration because of continuing resolutions and insufficient budgets, created a gap where now you're getting rid of the very things that you need right now.

03:26:36.280 And you don't have available things of the future that you said you would have because of the way this department did business.

03:26:42.600 Always over cost, always delayed.

03:26:44.900 So there's one destroyer, one Arleigh Burke class destroyer in this. 1.00

03:26:47.740 Yeah, government contractors and people that do work with the government always fucking Jew and, you know, fucking trying to nickel and dime you. 0.99

03:26:53.800 budget because and i hate to even say they always charge the government extra 0.99

03:26:57.200 i'm not going to say it in open here because they know they'll pay hearing how many years behind we

03:27:01.360 are in the backlog of building the arleigh burke class destroyers so the bulk of the money goes

03:27:06.160 into ship building to fix that ensure we can get new places to build more faster then you can fund

03:27:11.840 additional uh either whether it's this class or the next class but we're almost over time

03:27:16.740 i'm going to reclaim and just say in my last seconds here careful with the pace moving through

03:27:21.300 designed to construction so quickly as proposed by this budget. Thank you.

03:27:25.160 Gentlemen, time's expired. As announced earlier, we're going to now recess until 10 minutes past

03:27:29.660 the hour of one. All right.

03:27:32.840 ...by a lightning strike in Venezuela the month before and sold on an Israeli idea that total 0.54

03:27:37.940 victory over Iran would be quick and easy. Yep.

03:27:40.860 Trump rolled the dice. But back in the real world, the facts are just really clear. This war will have

03:27:46.980 long-term repercussions, renewed cycles of violence, vendettas, and instability for years

03:27:52.860 to come. Iran was bombed twice in the middle of diplomatic talks with the U.S. And in 2015,

03:27:58.760 it signed a deal with the U.S. that put limits on its nuclear enrichment.

03:28:02.720 Someone speaking, Ashley.

03:28:04.100 It took almost three years of tough discussions, and it was torn up by Trump three years later.

03:28:08.920 So that distrust is mutual and palpable. If the White House keeps thinking the Iranian

03:28:14.180 government wants to surrender and that everything's just going to be really fine

03:28:18.440 after one more round of talks, that's the opposite of reality.

03:28:22.220 That's going to take much cost on Al Jazeera.

03:28:25.840 All right, let's see what else is going on.

03:28:32.660 Let me read some super chats.

03:28:34.400 The police, police reactions.

03:28:36.480 Got you.

03:28:36.880 I will.

03:28:39.500 Andrew Wilson's right-hand man, Mr.

03:28:41.520 E said he has 15 experience in the oil industry and says,

03:28:43.580 uh that america is an expert refining crude okay only one third of targets struck have been

03:28:48.800 military so we waste all this money and time for what exactly this police recommendations got you

03:28:52.980 renegade subscribe welcome ready love being informed while at work but give my homie uh

03:28:58.500 bakatobi a shout out for putting me on to the army yep shout out to you bakatobi sounds nigerian

03:29:15.520 And he'll pick made, uh, A.O. pick

03:29:17.520 made the title. Yes, only to respond to, uh,

03:29:19.900 because, um,

03:29:21.420 I debated,

03:29:23.960 uh, I was like

03:29:25.220 reacting

03:29:27.600 to stuff. Okay, let's see. Call me self-surrender

03:29:29.460 chat. That's the official word.

03:29:36.520 This is what you need

03:29:37.700 to know now. I'm still

03:29:39.600 not afraid. Former FBI chief

03:29:41.620 James Comey expected to surrender to

03:29:43.540 federal authorities after a new indictment.

03:29:46.340 Yeah.

03:29:47.840 I think he's surrounded this morning.

03:29:49.780 Secretary Pete Hegset facing lawmakers

03:29:51.800 on Capitol Hill for the... I saw

03:29:53.600 Ivan Raiklin out there recording him.

03:29:55.460 First time since the war in Iran broke out.

03:29:57.900 On X.

03:29:59.040 New images in the White House correspondence

03:30:01.220 dinner attack showing the... This weird nigga. 1.00

03:30:03.580 Alleged suspect armed... We're out here 1.00

03:30:05.380 taking selfies before the shooting. Like, what's going

03:30:07.460 on here, man?

03:30:09.600 Imagine catching a felony over a dollar is crazy.

03:30:13.260 Can you cover this police camera footage? 0.99

03:30:14.720 It's funny as fuck. 0.99

03:30:15.460 Okay, got that for LSS. 0.99

03:30:23.160 Inside the Washington Hilton.

03:30:25.540 Plus, officials identify what they say is causing bright orange water

03:30:29.300 to flow in a West Virginia stream.

03:30:31.940 And the emotional effort to save Timmy, the stranded whale,

03:30:35.200 is much more of what you need to know now.

03:30:37.480 I'm Rachel Scott from ABC News. It is Wednesday, April 29th.

03:30:42.280 This is what you need to know. Let's get right to the big story.

03:30:45.640 Former FBI Director James Comey expected to self-surrender today after a federal indictment.

03:30:50.840 The charges center on a 2025 Instagram post showing 86-47 written in seashells.

03:30:58.600 Prosecutors claim it was a threat.

03:31:00.120 They charged him for like threatening the president.

03:31:02.040 They hit him with like the typical Secret Service charge for it.

03:31:04.880 FBI did the case.

03:31:05.640 against president trump but legal experts say this will be a hard case for the justice department

03:31:10.640 to win of all the cases that have been brought and threatened against president trump's enemies

03:31:16.760 this one may be the weakest this is going to be a ridiculously hard case for prosecutors to win

03:31:25.680 why yeah a big reason why is because he deleted it after and apologized some people might look

03:31:31.280 at that as consciousness of guilt other people might say no he rectified it and he didn't mean

03:31:34.420 it that way context means everything and the fact that he deleted it and denounced violence after

03:31:38.120 you know obviously he shouldn't be charged but you know i think uh the justice department isn't

03:31:43.420 like they're they're trying to send a message right if you threaten the president even if you

03:31:46.640 are the former director of the fbi we're coming after you so i think this this arrest was more

03:31:52.200 about sending a message than actually convicting comey because comey's a former lawyer he's not

03:31:56.180 stupid he probably has a high-powered legal team that's going to fight this thing tooth and nail

03:32:00.080 But this was more about sending a message, getting him arrested, hurting his reputation. 1.00

03:32:04.200 Obviously, Trump, you know, can be a vindictive individual.

03:32:07.020 So that's what I think.

03:32:07.760 This arrest was more about optics and politics than actually getting a conviction for a serious crime.

03:32:14.080 He has to have intended it to have been a threat for this to be a successful prosecution.

03:32:22.960 Comey's first indictment by the Justice Department for allegedly making a false statement to Congress.

03:32:27.420 and they admitted that they had this case open for like a year, guys.

03:32:31.220 It's no coincidence that they indicted it literally this week

03:32:33.340 after that guy tried to shoot Trump

03:32:35.620 because it's a fairly simple case,

03:32:37.500 just that NOA USA probably wanted to take it.

03:32:39.800 But then they were like, you know what?

03:32:41.060 Let's indict this thing.

03:32:42.340 Leave no stone unturned. 1.00

03:32:44.000 Fuck it. 1.00

03:32:46.840 We're going to send a message to anybody else, 1.00

03:32:48.760 and if you guys remember,

03:32:49.800 he was indicted for false statements before on a technicality

03:32:52.000 because the United States attorney

03:32:53.480 that was basically put in place

03:32:57.980 to run the District of Virginia, 0.98

03:32:59.580 she had not been confirmed by the Senate.

03:33:01.560 So since she hadn't been confirmed by the Senate,

03:33:04.160 the indictment didn't stand

03:33:06.100 because she didn't have the authority 0.86

03:33:07.260 to actually push it through.

03:33:08.960 So guys, the way prosecutions work is

03:33:10.640 the United States Attorney

03:33:12.000 at the United States Attorney's Office

03:33:13.960 is the one that does the final sign-off

03:33:15.800 on any criminal indictment.

03:33:17.980 So the fact that she signed off on it,

03:33:19.640 but she was not really the USA

03:33:21.480 because she wasn't officially confirmed, 0.56

03:33:23.480 uh via senate uh that's what fucked everything up because the usa is a presidentially confirmed

03:33:30.020 it's it's a presidentially appointed position which means they have to get confirmed by the

03:33:33.760 senate to officially take the position that's why he was able to get around the legal loophole

03:33:38.660 and they didn't bring it back up again it was false statements callity comey says he's still

03:33:43.440 innocent and is not afraid cole allen uh is a prototypical goofy progressive intellectual

03:33:49.980 with an overflated ego, of course.

03:33:51.660 For James Comey, the process is a punishment.

03:33:53.080 Exactly, exactly.

03:33:55.260 No court date has been set for these new charges.

03:33:58.220 This isn't about convicting him.

03:33:59.640 This is about sending a message.

03:34:01.820 The Supreme Court has struck down

03:34:03.680 Louisiana's voting map in a major voting rights case,

03:34:06.980 finding it an unconstitutional gerrymanderer.

03:34:09.920 Devin Dwyer has more.

03:34:11.200 This decision came in a case out of Louisiana

03:34:14.460 involving a court-ordered drawing edition

03:34:17.800 of a second-majority black district in that state because of the size of the state's population.

03:34:23.860 And the Supreme Court today, in this decision, said that the court violated the 14th Amendment

03:34:29.260 by adding, the state rather, violated the 14th Amendment by adding that district.

03:34:33.520 They used race impermissibly, consciously, to add a second district to aid those voters,

03:34:40.740 and they said that is simply not allowed under our Constitution.

03:34:43.940 A terror investigation is now underway in London after a knife attack in a neighborhood with a large Jewish...

03:34:49.820 Oh, yeah, some dude stabbed a Jewish guy, man. 1.00

03:35:05.440 Witnesses say the suspect was seen running with a knife attempting to stab members of the public before being detained and handed over to police.

03:35:13.060 British Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling

03:35:14.660 the incident deeply concerning.

03:35:16.760 It comes amid a string of recent attacks

03:35:18.640 targeting Jewish sites in London.

03:35:21.000 Newly released images show the suspect

03:35:22.660 in the White House. Bruh.

03:35:24.280 Correspondents dinner attack just moments before the

03:35:26.480 incident. Bruh, I'd take the quick flick

03:35:28.160 before going to do an assassination

03:35:30.360 attempt. What a fucking idiot. And his phone 1.00

03:35:32.620 sucks, probably a droid. 0.99

03:35:33.940 Cole Allen appears to be armed with guns 0.99

03:35:36.400 and knives, wearing a black shirt and

03:35:38.540 a red tie. Authorities say the pictures

03:35:40.480 were taken from his hotel room at the 1.00

03:35:42.660 Fucking retard. 0.99

03:35:43.760 Washington Hilton, where he's accused of firing. 1.00

03:35:46.480 Congrats. Confirm even more evidence for the FBI, dude.

03:35:51.500 FBI, open up! 1.00

03:35:52.780 A shotgun outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondence Center was taking place.

03:35:57.820 Prosecutors say the images are part of a detention memo detailing what they described as a pre-planned and deliberate attack.

03:36:04.020 Allen is scheduled to be in court tomorrow.

03:36:06.900 Security changes have been made in New York City,

03:36:09.440 where the royal couple visited the 9-11 memorial today.

03:36:13.000 It comes midway through a four-day trip for the king and the queen,

03:36:16.400 marking 250 years of American independence.

03:36:19.020 Over on Capitol Hill, former Attorney General Pam Bondi

03:36:22.140 will now appear for a deposition on May 29th.

03:36:25.720 Epstein files?

03:36:26.800 The appearance is part of a House oversight investigation

03:36:29.580 into the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

03:36:32.960 Ooh.

03:36:37.100 They're on my desk.

03:36:39.080 Okay.

03:36:40.200 Democrats had moved to pursue contempt charges following her previous failure to show up.

03:36:45.720 Ranking member Robert Garcia applauded the news.

03:36:48.680 Well, great news.

03:36:49.520 Clearly we're being effective because it's interesting how it's only when we take action

03:36:54.880 and when we actually have to force Republicans to do anything to call subpoena.

03:36:59.220 What the hell? 1.00

03:36:59.780 This bitch looked like an M&M, bro. 1.00

03:37:01.000 She bald as hell. 1.00

03:37:01.980 What? 1.00

03:37:02.440 Denied. 1.00

03:37:03.300 What the fuck is going on there? 1.00

03:37:06.100 ...chick look like a fucking milk dud, man. 1.00

03:37:11.980 I can see what she's thinking. 1.00

03:37:13.860 Smooth-ass head, bro. 1.00

03:37:15.740 What the fuck? 1.00

03:37:17.060 Ah! 1.00

03:37:19.060 ...penas. 1.00

03:37:19.900 Bitch look like more than Michael Jordan with lipstick. 1.00

03:37:21.900 To get in front of our committee that they actually ever do anything. 1.00

03:37:24.900 So I am so glad.

03:37:26.200 The Department of Justice says Pam Bondi was not required to appear

03:37:31.060 at her previous deposition since she no longer serves as U.S. Attorney General. 0.61

03:37:36.020 And staying here and watching...

03:37:37.020 That is kind of true. She's not compelled.

03:37:39.340 She's not a government employee anymore. 1.00

03:37:41.420 She's a private citizen now, so she can say, fuck off. 1.00

03:37:43.880 ...Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on Capitol Hill for a hearing on the Pentagon's budget, 1.00

03:37:48.880 but it comes as a critical moment in the war with Iran.

03:37:51.880 Jay O'Brien is following it all.

03:37:53.840 Rachel, a fiery hearing with Secretary Pete Hegseth,

03:37:56.140 as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and a top Pentagon budget official.

03:37:59.240 And Democrats on that panel asking pointed questions,

03:38:01.900 one of them from the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, Adam Smith,

03:38:05.260 was what was the overall cost to date of this conflict with Iran,

03:38:09.220 to which that top Pentagon budget official said so far to date

03:38:12.060 it's cost the U.S. taxpayer $25 billion.

03:38:16.120 Additionally, Adam Smith going back and forth with Hegseth

03:38:19.220 on the administration's justification for this conflict with Iran.

03:38:22.940 Hegseth said it was the nuclear capabilities of Iran

03:38:25.640 that posed a threat to the American people.

03:38:28.160 Smith said, but the administration last summer in June

03:38:31.180 conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities

03:38:33.820 and at the time said that Iran's nuclear capabilities had been obliterated.

03:38:38.060 So how did Iran pose an imminent threat, Smith asked, if its nuclear capabilities...

03:38:43.580 What's that, guys?

03:38:48.240 ...had been obliterated last June.

03:38:50.660 Hegg says that Iran still had nuclear ambitions.

03:38:53.460 Worth pointing out here, Rachel, as of the end of this week,

03:38:55.780 this conflict with Iran will have gone on for 60 days,

03:38:58.400 and there are even some Republicans up here on Capitol Hill

03:39:00.640 saying that there should be a vote to authorize this conflict in Iran.

03:39:04.840 So far, there's been no successful vote up here on Capitol Hill

03:39:07.540 to authorize the administration's use of force in that country.

03:39:11.260 Meanwhile, the Pentagon has officially asked Congress

03:39:13.560 to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

03:39:16.980 The rebrand could cost up to $125 million

03:39:20.480 to replace signs and letterheads and make other additional changes.

03:39:25.660 Turning now to the weather, a widespread severe storm threat

03:39:28.960 impacting millions. A powerful system sweeping from the South to the Midwest, bringing damaging

03:39:34.480 winds, hail, and possible tornadoes. In Texas, a possible tornado hit mineral wells, damaging homes,

03:39:40.520 flattening buildings, and sending at least two people to the hospital. And in Arkansas, a tree

03:39:45.780 crashing through a woman's home during heavy storms. She was inside at the time, but thankfully

03:39:50.780 she was not injured. NASA is not slowing down after the success of Artemis II, now preparing

03:39:56.540 for what's next, Artemis 3. A massive section of the rocket has arrived at the Kennedy Space Center

03:40:02.860 after a 900-mile journey from New Orleans. The section will carry the fuel for the powerful

03:40:08.460 engines. The next mission will test docking, which is scheduled for later next year.

03:40:13.420 The goal is for Artemis 4 to put people on the moon in 2028.

03:40:17.660 And we have much more of what you need to know. Stay with us.

03:40:39.900 musk claims that the company now valued at more than 850 billion dollars

03:40:44.600 but sam altman and musk betrayed its original vision of staying as a non-profit on the stand

03:40:50.540 yesterday must saying quote it's not okay to steal a charity but open ai lawyers told jurors

03:40:55.480 There was never a promise to remain a non-profit, arguing that Elon Musk is trying to undercut the company to benefit his own AI venture.

03:41:03.400 Musk is seeking billions of dollars in damages, and what's Altman removed from the board.

03:41:08.940 Overseas police arrested 22 Buddhist monks at an airport in Asia, accused of hiding 240 pounds of cannabis in their luggage.

03:41:18.020 The monks were returning from Sri Lanka.

03:43:43.800 She told me like 10 minutes before our date.
