0:30Donald Trump is panicking as multiple Arab nations that are purportedly allied with the United

0:35States are demanding that Donald Trump have U .S.

0:40forces engage in a ground invasion of Iran.

0:43These Arab nations are saying, you can't leave this region unless you obliterate Iran, because

0:50if you leave and Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, and if Iran is

0:56stronger than ever, which they are now, you are going to be leaving all of

1:01your purported Arab nation allies being left far more vulnerable.

1:06And the security umbrella that the United States promised is over.

1:11Those quid pro quos, those pay -for -play schemes, Donald, they are over.

1:16And these Arab nations are saying that they are going to go elsewhere.

1:20Here's the breaking news late at night that has Donald Trump a panicking.

1:24The United Arab Emirates, supported by Bahrain, Kuwait, and also Saudi Arabia, pushing hard for

1:30Donald Trump to order a ground invasion of Iran.

1:34Mind you, these nations aren't going to provide their own ground forces.

1:38As officials from many Gulf allies of the United States, again, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain,

1:43Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, have conveyed in private conversations that they don't want the ongoing

1:49military operation to end until there are significant changes in the Iranian leadership or there's

1:55a dramatic shift in Iran's behavior.

1:58Diplomatic officials told the Associated Press, I mean, just over the past 12 hours, you

2:04had an oil tanker off the coast of Dubai get hit by Iran.

2:09Iran, you've had major infrastructure in Kuwait be destroyed by Iran.

2:14Iran continues to strike in Israel, recently hitting an oil depot in Haifa, continues to

2:21strike Bahrain, continues to hit critical infrastructure and military bases in Saudi Arabia.

2:28And then earlier today, during a press conference, Donald Trump's press secretary, Caroline Levitt's like,

2:33we're going to have the Arab nations pay for this war.

2:37We're going to roll out that plan.

2:39I mean, yeah, we invaded the region with Netanyahu without telling the Arab nation allies

2:45that, you know, bought Donald Trump private planes and put up Trump hotels in their

2:50countries and funneled hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars to Trump Bitcoin and

2:56crypto and other Trump ventures.

2:58There's like World Liberty Financial, but we're going to make the Arab nations pay for

3:03it. You know, meanwhile, the Iranian parliament earlier today approved a bill to levy fees

3:09on the Strait of Hormuz transit, at least two million dollars for any ship to

3:15pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

3:17This was voted on by the Iranian parliament.

3:19So as Donald Trump's like, we've totally obliterated them.

3:23They're utterly destroyed. They don't exist anymore.

3:26Their parliament met and held a formal meeting where they passed a law to fully

3:33take control over the Strait of Hormuz in their legislation.

3:37And meanwhile, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, M .B.

3:41Galiboff, the guy who Donald Trump says, yeah, I'm negotiating with Galiboff and we're becoming

3:47closer. I'll let you know in a few weeks what he's like.

3:50M .B. Galiboff posted an hour or so ago, Iran's enemies pass off their wishes

3:55as news while simultaneously threatening our nation.

3:59They're dead wrong. If they strike once, they'll get hit several times back.

4:04The people of Iran, God willing, under the guidance of the supreme leader of the

4:08revolution, will make the enemy regret its actions and attain their rightful rights.

4:14And as noted, Kuwait's Petroleum Corporation said that Iranian forces attacked an oil tanker, the

4:21Al -Salmi, in the Persian Gulf.

4:23Tonight, Iran hit this Kuwaiti crude carrier in a Dubai port.

4:29The United Kingdom maritime trade operations also confirmed that there was this strike there.

4:34Meanwhile, you have the United States and Israel striking an area in Isfahan, believed to

4:40be a ballistic missile depot in Isfahan, though not clear what it is.

4:46And then earlier, you had the Iranian press secretary, one of the IRGC or foreign

4:52ministry press secretaries, rather. He's like, we're not having any negotiations with Donald Trump.

4:58Don't believe him. There's no communications.

5:00Yes, they're trying to convey to Pakistan things to have us talk.

5:06But we put forward our non -negotiables that unless we get reparations, we control the

5:11straight of. moves we don't reduce our ballistic missiles or shahi drones we have real

5:16security guarantees for us the houthis hezbollah and our iranian shiite proxies um in iraq

5:24we're not doing anything here just remember listen to what uh the iranian foreign ministry

5:30spokesperson said play this clip we have had no direct negotiations with america so far

5:37since the last round of negotiations until now the u .s demands have been very

5:46excessive unrealistic and illogical the meetings that pakistan has with neighboring countries are well a

5:56framework they themselves have established we have not participated in this framework can it be

6:03allowed that iran and iranians be in a position of confronting the illegal aggression of

6:08america and the zionist regime to use the available capabilities on the soil of regional

6:14countries while our armed forces remain silent the duty of every authority demands that it

6:22responds to such cases with and now senator marco rubio is posting videos where he

6:27says the following on the department of state website and their social media accounts pay

6:32attention to the shift of language here's what rubio said here are the clear objectives

6:37of the operation you should write them down okay rubio i'll write them down one

6:41the destruction of iran's air force two the destruction of their navy three the severe

6:47diminishing of their missile launching capability four the destruction of their factories bullseye emoji the

6:56severe diminishing of their missile launch so they can still have the missiles they can

6:59still keep the regime they can still control the strait of her moves there's no

7:03regime change they're stronger than ever but are you saying that they'll have to get

7:08rid of their navy and their air force they're hitting with the drone swarms the

7:12fpv drones and the shahid drones and the ballistic missiles that's what they're but they

7:17don't just as long as those are diminished by whose account notice that there was

7:21nothing on that list as well about not enriching not enriching uranium or nuclear capabilities

7:27or anything like that do you see the whole shift in the language which coincides

7:31and i'll do a longer report on this but the wall street journal reporting the

7:35following trump is signaling he's willing to end the war with iran without reopening the

7:40strait of hormuz effectively handing control of the choke point to iran and punting any

7:46plan to reopen it to a later date by the way iran won't accept that

7:50unless they have security guarantees that's pretty obvious you heard what they said trump tells

7:55his aides he's willing to end the war without reopening her moves in other words

7:58he's willing to surrender that's what he's saying administration officials assess that forcing the waterway

8:03back open would mean extending the military mission y 'all did the invasion it was

8:08your catastrophic unlawful invasion where you said you were going to do regime change and

8:12now it's reopened the strait of her moves that's your uh that's what you're considering

8:17a win like do we all realize how pathetic it is here's how it's being

8:22described also um trump has according to the wall street journal informed his aides what

8:26we said before the plan now is pressure tehran diplomatically to restore the fleet the

8:32free flow of trade if that fails washington would press allies in europe and the

8:36gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait officials said according to the report

8:40u .s officials determined that a direct mission to reopen the strait of hormuz would

8:45risk prolonging the war beyond trump stated four to six week timeline instead the strategy

8:50has shifted toward degrading iran's military capabilities while winding down active operations while iran now

8:57moves towards fully codifying which you heard its toll system in the strait of hormuz

9:02a member of iran's national security commission said lawmakers approved the formal plan to codify

9:07iran's control the proposal includes new financial arrangements it's a tolling system they now control

9:14oman notably is referenced as a potential partner in shaping the legal framework remember oman

9:20who donald trump picked to be his mediator back in late february in the before

9:26donald trump and netanyahu invaded iran remember the omanian foreign minister who said that there

9:31was a deal in principle in the afternoon and that night netanyahu and trump invaded

9:35iran yeah oman is now working with iran to help them solidify the hormuz toll

9:43system why oman one they're close by but two it gives it legitimacy that now

9:48we're working with the mediator who's now on our side blessing our ability to control

9:54her moves like do we see the moves that are being made oh but uh

9:59while that's being reported um a few things i'll do a longer report on this

10:03um financial times reports a broker for u .s war secretary defense secretary pete hegseth

10:09attempted to purchase a defense focused fund shortly before u .s israeli strikes on iran

10:14the inquiry reportedly involved a multi -million dollar investment in black rocks defense industrial active

10:20etf via morgan stanley but the transaction was never executed because the fund was not

10:25yet available to morgan stanley clients the pentagon rejected the claim calling it fabricated and

10:31the nasdaq listed idef fund has risen about 28 percent over the year but it's

10:35down roughly 13 percent over the past month you have of this world -renowned economist,

10:42Mohamed El -Aryan, says, I must say I'm more worried than the average.

10:48He said that the war has triggered both a price shock and a demand shock,

10:52warning a chain reaction from energy shock to inflation shock to demand destruction with Asia,

10:57already fearing actual physical shortages, raising the risk of financial instability if the conflict continues.

11:04But folks, one of the main architects of this war, Lindsey Graham was photographed by

11:09TMZ at Disneyland with a bubble wand.

11:12And by the way, my little daughter, 18 months, she loves the bubble.

11:15She was at Disney World.

11:16Sorry, not Disneyland. Disney World.

11:18My baby daughter, she loves the bubble wand at Disneyland.

11:21And he was waving that around, apparently.

11:24Said Lindsey Graham how to show how tough he was.

11:26And he goes, spend some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today.

11:30Doesn't get much better than that.

11:32We're hunting some duck. We're hunting some pheasant out there.

11:35I'm a tough guy. Meanwhile, gas prices over $4 officially.

The episode highlights intense pressure from Arab allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, on Donald Trump to order a ground invasion of Iran to secure the Strait of Hormuz. These nations are reportedly demanding that the U.S. obliterate Iran to prevent the region from falling under Iranian control, though they have refused to provide their own ground forces for the operation. Meanwhile, Iran has escalated its attacks on regional infrastructure, striking targets in Kuwait, Israel, and Bahrain, and its parliament has formally approved a toll system to control the strategic waterway.

The host argues that the U.S. strategy has shifted toward a humiliating retreat, with reports indicating Trump is willing to end the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz, effectively surrendering control of the choke point to Iran. Iran has rejected negotiations unless it receives security guarantees and reparations, while the U.S. and Israel continue to degrade Iranian military capabilities. The episode also notes the economic fallout, with gas prices hitting $4 a gallon and oil prices surging, contrasting the hawkish rhetoric of politicians like Lindsey Graham with their apparent lack of seriousness.

Finally, the analysis touches on allegations of financial conflicts of interest involving defense officials and the broader instability in the region. The host mocks Lindsey Graham for being photographed at Disneyland with a bubble wand, contrasting this with the catastrophic war he supports. The episode concludes by emphasizing the failure of the current administration's strategy, which has left the U.S. in a weaker position while Iran consolidates its control over critical energy infrastructure.
