3:04Donald Trump has walked himself right into a fatal trap.
3:09Things are spiraling out of control in connection with his disastrous and unlawful war in
3:16Iran. The footage that you just saw there at the beginning of this video is
3:20the moment that an Iranian medium -range ballistic missile struck the city of Dimona.
3:27So you just saw there at the beginning of this video is a surprise that
3:27you can see in the beginning of this video is the moment that you were
3:27looking for. So, you should see that if your name was the name of Ras
3:27in the middle of the field, you should say probably simply put your name or
3:27the name of Ras in the middle of the day, but in the middle of
3:27the day I have seen that.
3:27in southern Israel. Demona was hit by that medium -range ballistic missile.
3:33So was another southern Israel city known as Arad.
3:38Demona is heavily fortified, and that's where Israel's nuclear facilities are based.
3:45And the fact that Iran was able to strike that facility is of very significant
3:51import indeed. And that followed the fact that the United States and Israel earlier in
3:57the day had struck Iran's nuclear facility, the Natanz nuclear facility, which was supposedly obliterated
4:07last June. So in response to the US and Israel striking Natanz, you then had
4:14Iran striking that facility that I just mentioned before.
4:20Now, Donald Trump posted the following message as well, as things continue to escalate.
4:27This is a ridiculous message.
4:29Donald Trump writes, If Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within
4:3748 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit
4:44and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first.
4:50Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J.
4:55Trump. So Trump delivering an ultimatum that the United States and Israel will destroy all
5:01of your energy facilities. We are going for, apparently what he seems to say there
5:06is your civilian infrastructure as well.
5:09So what happens? Escalation, of course.
5:13And Iran continues to try to show escalation dominance.
5:18Donald Trump makes a threat.
5:20Iran responds. Trump and Israel strike the energy facilities in Iran.
5:26Iran responds by striking the facilities in Qatar and Haifa and Saudi Arabia.
5:32So the spokesperson for Iran's armed forces says that if Donald Trump and Israel attacks
5:41their energy infrastructure, there will be immediate attacks on the energy infrastructures of all of
5:48the Arab nations that are allied with the United States, information technology infrastructure, desalination infrastructure,
5:58which would basically cause the Arab nations to run out of water in the surrounding
6:05areas very quickly. So Trump makes those threats and Iran responds essentially immediately.
6:13But one of the things as Donald Trump continues to show weakness, Iran feels like
6:18as long as it keeps punching Donald Trump in the face, it gets rewarded.
6:23I mean, just think about this.
6:24When Donald Trump and the United States just removed all of the sanctions on Iranian
6:31oil, that allowed Iran to get $14 billion as a reward.
6:38So think about it. When former President Obama made the nuclear deal with Iran over
6:43a decade ago, which Trump and MAGA excoriated Obama for, but which created oversight with
6:50the International Atomic Energy Agency, was able to kind of conduct these daily or at
6:59least regular inspections and to make sure that Iran could not enrich the uranium.
7:06Donald Trump pulled out of that deal during his first term.
7:09But at the maximum, the kind of payments that were made to Iran, which were
7:15kind of viewed as kind of reparation -style payments, whatever you want to say, max
7:20$1 .4 billion. And that's what MAGA and Trump, remember, they'd always be like, cash,
7:26planes full of cash and this and that.
7:28And they would always exaggerate it.
7:29And they would always kind of misrepresent what it was.
7:32But in the past 24 hours alone, the US has allowed Iran to get $14
7:38billion in oil revenue. It's the first time the US will now be buying Iranian
7:45oil since 1996. And it's all happening, as Barack Ravid says, in the middle of
7:51a war against Iran. Now, the head of Iran's parliament, M .B.
7:58Galiboff, is just mocking the United States.
8:01He posted this meme that says, sorry, we're sold out.
8:05Lifting sanctions on Iranian oil currently stranded at sea.
8:10Sorry, we're sold out. Mocking Treasury Secretary Scott Besant making this concession to Iran because
8:19Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
8:22And Iran's like, thank you.
8:25This is the greatest offer we've ever received.
8:27And we haven't even asked for anything.
8:29You're just giving it to us because the price of a barrel of oil is
8:34surging. And by the way, on Donald Trump's threat that he's going to obliterate the
8:39energy infrastructure of Iran and Iran's response saying, okay, you do that, we'll knock out
8:44the desalination plants and energy infrastructure of all of the Arab nations.
8:49That's only further causing oil to surge.
8:52Bitcoin is crashing. By the way, gold, which is usually viewed as a safe haven,
8:57crashing as well. The leader of the parliament in Iran also posted the following.
9:03If the Israeli regime fails to intercept the missiles in the highly protected Demona area,
9:11remember, that's what I shared with you at the beginning of this video, it is
9:15operationally a sign of entering a new phase of the battle.
9:19Israel's skies are defenseless. As a result, it seems the time has come to implement
9:25the next pre -designed plans.
9:28One of the strategies it seems that Iran is employing right now is they are
9:35not – yes, they're going after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and other areas, but now
9:39they go after the smaller towns that may have less of the THAAD and Patriot
9:45systems, which have been spread thin.
9:49And Iran had been able to target some of those THAAD and Patriot systems and
9:53the satellites that are able to detect the ballistic missiles and the Shahi drones.
9:58So Iran is finding an ability to more successfully strike in Israel.
10:03So about 150 to 200 injuries in the southern Israeli cities, Arad and Demona.
10:11I'll just show you some of the other footage right here.
10:14You could see some of it right here.
10:17We'll just throw the B -roll up here of other scenes of when these ballistic
10:22missiles hit in Demona, when Arad was hit as well.
10:27Here's more footage showing the destruction caused by the Iranian medium -range ballistic missile strikes
10:33in the residential city neighborhood of Arad.
10:39And by the way, throughout the day, Donald Trump making just weird social media posts
10:43as well. So like this one right here in the early days of Mar -a
10:48-Lago, and it's Donald Trump.
10:50I think he's sitting on like a Rolls Royce.
10:53Yeah, well, you had daddy's money, Donald.
10:56As the American people are suffering right now, I would say living paycheck to paycheck,
11:02but there's a jobs recession.
11:03A lot of Americans can't even get a job right now.
11:06Americans now can't afford gas.
11:08They already couldn't afford anything else.
11:10Americans are suffering and starving.
11:12It's never been worse right now.
11:15Inflation surging out of control.
11:17Markets are crashing. Donald Trump is posting photos of himself on Rolls Royces in the
11:25early days of Mar -a -Lago.
11:27And we showed you yesterday, he was posting photos of golden sneakers that he's selling.
11:32And he goes, look, when they bought my sneakers in Riyadh for $180 ,000, they
11:38ain't buying those sneakers anymore, Donald.
11:40I think that all these Arab nations thought that they were doing pay -for -play
11:43schemes with you and that you would play, meaning protect them.
11:47And you ain't doing that.
11:48All you're doing is writing all caps social media posts, ranting and raving like a
11:54lunatic and posting these deranged photos of yourself from what, like the late 1980s or
12:001990s when you were best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
12:04Also, Donald Trump made a post attacking David Sanger of the New York Times for
12:09an article published earlier yesterday, questioning what objectives are there even in this war?
12:16Like what the hell is even happening?
12:18Here's what Donald Trump writes.
12:20The United States has blown Iran off the map.
12:23And yet their lightweight analyst at the New York Times, David Sanger says that I
12:28haven't met my own goals.
12:29Yes, I have. And weeks ahead of schedule.
12:32Their leadership is gone. Their Navy and Air Force are dead.
12:35They have absolutely no defense and they want to make a deal.
12:39I don't. We are weeks ahead of schedule, just like their incompetent election coverage of
12:43me. The failure, the failing New York Times always gets it wrong.
12:48Okay. Well, we see Iran, I showed you the videos.
12:52We see Iran actually shooting ballistic missiles and Shahid drones with more effectiveness than earlier
13:01in the war as well.
13:02They control the Strait of Hormuz right now.
13:06In fact, they're so confident and cocky with their control of the Strait of Hormuz,
13:10they're now making bilateral deals like with India.
13:14They're making these one -off deals saying, if you pay us $2 million, we'll give
13:19you naval escorts. Remember how Donald Trump was like, America and our allies are going
13:24to do Navy escorts through the Strait of Hormuz?
13:27Well, the US isn't. Iran is.
13:29Iran did a naval escort of an India frigate, India cargo ship, maybe fuel ship
13:36as well, through the Strait of Hormuz.
13:40Iran is apparently working on a deal with Japan right after the Japanese Prime Minister
13:46Takeishi came to the United States.
13:48It seemed that she got humiliated here, by the way, the people in Japan, the
13:53people in the diet there, the people in general are like, what the hell was
13:56that appearance? It seems that though, what came out of that is Japan buying some
14:02Russian oil, maybe Iranian oil, and trying to cut a deal with Iran for their
14:08ships to get through the Strait of Hormuz?
14:11And so, I'm not really sure what you think you've accomplished, Donald.
14:16As Scott Lincecum writes, after more than two weeks of consistent bombings, new U .S.
14:22intelligence. suggests that Iran's regime is actually consolidating its power, unlikely to collapse and now
14:30led by a cadre that's more extreme than before.
14:37Donald Trump, one of the reports from Axios, although the Trump regime leaks a bunch
14:42of fake stuff to Axios all the time, but one of the things that they
14:45reported was that the Trump regime doesn't even know who to even negotiate with anymore
14:50and who can be a mediator to the extent there's an ability to have a
14:56resolution with Iran. But if you look at what the foreign minister of Iran, Araqchi,
15:01is saying, he's like, we don't want to do a deal.
15:04Whitcoff and Trump's regime have tried to reach out to Iran numerous times.
15:10Iran says, we don't want to speak to you.
15:13Unless there's a deal where we get reparations, unless there is a deal where we
15:18have security guarantees that the US and Israel won't do this again, we have no
15:23interest in ever reaching a resolution.
15:26Iran feels emboldened by what's taking place.
15:29They shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
15:31They create a toll. They're making more money.
15:34They're having bilateral negotiations with countries.
15:37They've gotten more out of this in terms of having sanctions removed than they previously
15:44did in their Obama deal where they were forced to get rid of their enriched
15:49uranium. So they're looking at this like, it's great.
15:53And at a low estimate, the US has spent $28 billion in this disastrous war
15:59already. Gulf countries are losing more than $2 .3 billion per day as a result
16:06of the disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
16:09It's absolutely crushing them. And soon we're going to be turning our attention to the
16:15Red Sea. We all realize that.
16:17How long have you heard me talking about here, the Red Sea, the Houthis in
16:22Yemen, right? I've kept on repeating that.
16:24Why? Because it's unusual that the Houthis have done nothing really so far.
16:31But if you listen to what the Houthis in Yemen are saying, they're saying, we're
16:35just waiting on the order from Iran to basically shut down the Red Sea from
16:45ship transport, right? The way the Strait of Hormuz is shut down and the Persian
16:51Gulf is effectively shut down in the Red Sea is now being used as an
16:56alternative lane. And Iran and the Houthis are using that as part of their escalation
17:01dominance to say, okay, well, you engage in anything further.
17:06We'll just shut down the Red Sea and we can easily get the price of
17:10gas to go over $200 per barrel.
17:13So pay attention to what's happening in the Red Sea and pay attention to Donald
17:18Trump's threats that in 48 hours, he's going to blow up all the energy infrastructure,
17:22which by the way, is a war crime.
17:25Saying that you're going to blow up the energy infrastructure of a place because that
17:29impacts civilians, that is inherently a war crime.
17:34So just even if America was trying to win the propaganda war, right?
17:39You're announcing war crimes in advance.
17:42You literally are sounding so utterly deranged.
17:48How do you think this will help you win over the hearts and minds of
17:52the people in Iran eventually?
17:53It's the opposite, right? It's absolutely the opposite.
17:59It's the Cato Institute that …this is institutionalized.
18:01It's the opposite here of the neural system.
18:01So you might feel very explained after more than two weeks of constant bombing, Iran
18:05is more consolidated with their power and the regime, the Islamic Republic than ever before.
18:11And when Trump threatens the war crimes, of course, they're going to consolidate their power.
18:15Just share with you some of Donald Trump's other despicable behavior this morning as well,
18:21or yesterday morning as well.
18:23When Robert Mueller, former FBI director, died.
18:28Donald Trump's post was, this was yesterday, Donald Trump posted, Robert Mueller just died.
18:34Good. I'm glad he's dead.
18:37He can no longer hurt innocent people.
18:40As our editor -in -chief, Ron Filipkowski writes, as a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam,
18:46Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery.
18:51He received a bronze star for Valor, a Purple Heart, two Navy Marine commendation medals,
18:58Republic of Vietnam, Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.
19:03When Donald Trump and his regime are out there saying things like, I'm not afraid
19:09to do another Vietnam. That was a quote from Donald Trump last week.
19:14Donald Trump dodged the draft five times.
19:16He faked that he had bone spurs.
19:18Donald Trump has called our military suckers and losers.
19:23Donald Trump has attacked NATO's contributions and the people and the troops that NATO sent
19:31that have died fighting alongside the United States and Afghanistan.
19:35They're really not on the front line.
19:37Now Donald Trump says good when Robert Mueller dies.
19:41If you didn't like the guy, just don't say anything at all.
19:45Robert Mueller's investigation of your ties to Russia, we're seeing it play out right now.
19:52You're a Putin bootlicker, in my opinion.
19:54You've removed the oil sanctions against Russia.
19:58Everything you're doing is helping Russia.
20:00You're sending your entire regime over to try to help Putin's puppet in Hungary, Orban,
20:08get elected. Rubio's there. You're sending every, they're CPAC hungry right now.
20:13Your conduct, Russia's one of the biggest beneficiaries of this war while Russia's working with
20:19Iran to target and kill Americans right now.
20:23Let me leave with the following, okay?
20:25Because there's two very serious crises taking place in the United States as well, in
20:32addition to obviously affordability crisis and lots of other issues that are happening.
20:37But Hawaii is facing its worst flooding in 20 years.
20:415 ,500 evacuations, a 120 -year -old dam at risk, homes and roads destroyed.
20:49In Nebraska, there are historic wildfires that have burned over 800 ,000 acres, killed one,
20:56and are threatening ranches. Trump has not said a word about either of these.
21:02But he did start posting photos of him in front of Mar -a -Lago on
21:07top of Rolls Royce's while America is at a war that he provoked, that he
21:14created. This is what Iran's police chief said yesterday.
21:18If you are not capable of preserving Greenland, submit a request and we will come.
21:25The Trump regime looks weak.
21:27They're getting mocked by Iran.
21:29And I'll just leave you with this right here.
21:32This is the moment a drone was shot down in Bushir, Iran.
21:36Iranian sources claim it was another year.
21:39And you Q9 Reaper drone, which now by my count, we probably have lost about
21:4515 of these Reaper drones.
21:48Iran still has its air defense system that it's utilizing on a day -to -day
21:53basis. More lies from Trump, more despicable conduct from Trump, more horrible behavior.
