0:57This message reflects one person's experience.
1:00Sadly, I have tragic news to report, folks.
1:03Six U .S. service members can now be confirmed killed in the Iran war, CENTCOM
1:08has announced. As of 4 p .m.
1:11Eastern Time, March 2nd, CENTCOM states six U .S.
1:15service members in total have been killed in action.
1:18U .S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted -for service members from
1:24a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region.
1:28Major combat operations continue. The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours
1:34after next -of -kin notification, folks.
1:38This war is getting deadlier.
1:39This war is engulfing the entire region.
1:42And now we learn that Donald Trump is panicking, as he has learned, and we
1:46are now all learning that the Strait of Hermes is now closed as well.
1:52The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is announcing that it is shutting down the Strait of
1:57Hermes, and any ship that passes will be destroyed, will be blown up, and will
2:03be shot at. And we're already hearing that ships in the Strait of Hermes are
2:07being shot at, and now we're seeing a massive spike in the cost and in
2:12the price of crude. In the past hour, it is going up massively.
2:16Over the past week, it has increased as well, and this means that your gas
2:21prices will be going up.
2:22More significantly, though, it's the fact that our troops are now in harm's way for
2:28potentially a never -ending war.
2:30We believe, and others are reporting on the ground, that the amount of American soldiers
2:35who have been seriously wounded is actually far greater than what's currently being reported by
2:41the Defense Department. We believe the number of seriously injured to be far greater.
2:47In fact, Jeremy Scahill over at DropSite News said that over the past 24 hours,
2:53they've heard the same thing.
2:54They've been reaching out to CENTCOM and our military and the Department of Defense who
3:00are refusing to respond. Donald Trump is also telling members of the media that he's
3:05surprised right now, and he's saying that the biggest surprise in the war thus far
3:10has been Iran's attacks on Arab countries.
3:14Iran has spent literally months warning about these attacks in public and in private, which
3:20was the whole reason Arab countries wanted to avoid the war in the first place,
3:26and this is what Donald Trump is saying.
3:28He's surprised that Iran has attacked Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Iran
3:38is continuing to attack its neighbors, specifically where the U .S.
3:43has its bases and where there is a U .S.
3:46military presence. For example, when Iran struck a residential complex, it turned out that we
3:53had soldiers at that residential complex who were indeed injured as a result of that
3:58strike by Iran. And just war is engulfing all of the Middle East right now.
4:04It's unclear if any of the other Arab nations are going to get involved in
4:09this war. I mean, we saw that the friendly, I mean, they have their defensive
4:13surface -to -air missiles, of course, that we've seen.
4:16But, for example, the UAE is projected to exhaust its interceptor missile stock within one
4:24week at the current rate of fire.
4:26Qatar, within four days. Both are urgently seeking additional military support from the United States,
4:33and ultimately it's the taxpayers who are going to have to pay for it.
4:37And the strikes are not stopping.
4:39I mean, as I'm recording this, explosions and interceptions have been reported over Doha, the
4:45capital of Qatar, as Iran continues to launch ballistic missile strikes against these Gulf nations
4:51in Jordan. Out of abundance of caution, all personnel at the U .S.
4:56Embassy in Jordan have temporarily departed the embassy compound in Amman due to the threat
5:02the State Department is now reporting.
5:04Now, Donald Trump held a deranged press conference earlier in the Oval Office where he
5:09wanted to talk about the ballroom.
5:11And he looked and he saw young people in the audience and he goes, I
5:15want to talk about the young ones.
5:17You have really good genes.
5:19You have really good genes.
5:20I'll show you that in just a moment, because as America's at war, Donald Trump
5:24is making deranged posts about Lady Gaga's dad voting for him.
5:30He's making posts free Tina Peters, like weird election conspiracy posts.
5:35As Aaron Rupar said, if you just watch Donald Trump's social media posts, you would
5:39have no clue that we're actually at war right now.
5:41But when Donald Trump did this press conference earlier today, you know how he has
5:45that discoloration on both of his hands, his right hand and his left hand look
5:49completely discolored. But now we're seeing that on his neck.
5:54Trump had this significant rash like injury on his neck today, in addition to his
5:59two disfigured hands. I mean, just take a look at what it looks like.
6:03There are some people who are wondering if this could be precancerous or what the
6:08hell is going on. The statement issued by Donald Trump's doctor moments ago is Trump
6:14is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is
6:18a preventative skin treatment prescribed by the White House doctor.
6:23The president is using the treatment for one week and the redness is expected to
6:28last for a few weeks.
6:30I'm not sure how it can be preventative when he has the actual rash.
6:34Also, if you take a look at what how his neck looked at Texas, you
6:38can actually see that there were signs of this rash on his neck.
6:41So he's deteriorating before our eyes physically, mentally.
6:46And I think what it was clearly what his doctor is saying, in my view,
6:50is just more lies. Also, it should be noted and exclusive by Daniel Edward Rosen
6:56right here. Hat tip to them at The Sun.
6:59Many of the FBI agents who have recently been fired by Donald Trump and Kash
7:03Patel, they were fired last week.
7:05They worked on CI -12, counterintelligence 12.
7:09That's the Washington field office, the WFO squad that investigates espionage threats from countries that
7:17include Iran. Former FBI officials are telling the New York Sun the firings took place,
7:23as Daniel Edward Rosen writes, just days before the launch of Operation Epstein Fury.
7:29I mean, Epic Fury and separately a mass shooting in Austin in 2020.
7:34This group monitored Iranian retaliation threats on U .S.
7:38soil after the 2020 drone strike that killed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General
7:44Soleimani, as Trump ordered. And now we've totally gotten rid of this group or some
7:50of the key leadership there.
7:51So Americans are looking for reassurance right now.
7:54What are we doing? A never ending regime change war.
7:58American troops are being killed.
8:00Are we getting closer to World War Three?
8:03Are we in World War Three already?
8:05The former president of Russia is saying we are in World War Three.
8:09This is the statement from Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president.
8:14This is what he says about Trump.
8:15Has the third world war already begun or is the world still not entering it?
8:20Are we balancing? Formally, no.
8:22But if Trump continues his insane course of criminal regime change, it will undoubtedly begin
8:27and any event could trigger it.
8:29Any event. This is a war by the U .S.
8:31and its allies to maintain global dominance.
8:34The pigs don't want to give it up.
8:37Trump made a grave mistake with his decision.
8:40He put all Americans under potential attack, even though the Iranian regime is not well
8:44liked in neighboring Arab countries.
8:46The main thing is that the late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300
8:50million Shiites, and now he's also a martyr.
8:53You can fill in the rest yourself.
8:55And now there's no doubt that Iran will redouble its efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
9:00I mean, when you have a former president of Russia, I mean, granted, he's deranged
9:05and unhinged a lot talking about World War Three.
9:07These are serious issues. And in the meantime, you have China and Iran jointly condemning
9:13Donald Trump and his regime.
9:14So China is really starting to enter this picture in a very big way.
9:18At the same time, as I reported earlier this morning, the United States is refusing
9:23to make good on the deal with Taiwan to give Taiwan the 12 to 13
9:29billion dollars in military aid and weapons that were previously promised to Taiwan and allocated
9:34by our Congress, which Trump is not giving to Taiwan because Donald Trump does not
9:40want to be disinvited to China in April, where he's supposed to do a state
9:44visit to meet Xi Jinping, the leader of China.
9:47So while Donald Trump is now refusing to provide the weapons promised to Taiwan and
9:52the billions in aid promised to Taiwan, betraying them and breaching a deal with them,
9:57Chinese Foreign Minister Affairs leader, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wang Yi, held a call moments
10:03ago with Iranian Foreign Minister Saeed Abbas Aragichi today, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry
10:10spokesperson. In the release, the Chinese ministry said Iran has the right to defend itself
10:15with all its might and China formally condemning the United States and Israeli strikes as
10:21a violation of international law, a formal statement from China condemning the U .S.
10:26and showing its support of Iran right now.
10:29So, as I mentioned, serious times call for serious measures, serious diplomacy, serious people.
10:35Well, moments ago, Donald Trump sent Melania.
10:39to preside over the United Nations Security Council.
10:42Here's what took place as Melania addressed the Security Council.
10:46Let's play this clip. With the rule 39 of the council's provisional rules of procedure,
10:53I invite Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Undersecretary General of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, to participate in
11:03this meeting. Now, after Melania addressed the Security Council or right around that time, Donald
11:09Trump gave a speech or a presser that was completely deranged, ununhinged at the Oval
11:15Office. He said that he's proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by
11:21Barack Obama. And as we said on the Midas Touch account, that's why we are
11:24here. And he still harbors this bizarre personal hatred for Obama and this jealousy.
11:30And he admits the real reason why America is at war right now.
11:34Here, play this clip. I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear
11:38deal by President Barack Hussein Obama.
11:41That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document.
11:45They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago and they would have used them.
11:50Then Donald Trump talks to the audience about the young ones he sees.
11:54And he says, look, the young ones, you've got good genes.
11:57You'll figure it out when it's older.
11:58You've got good genes. This is what he's saying as America is at war.
12:02How unhinged in this play, this clip.
12:04It's country free. And I just said the genetics in that family are very strong,
12:08right? I said that before.
12:10All three families, I said, good.
12:12I see some of the young ones today.
12:13And I said, you have good genes.
12:15They were asking me, what does that mean?
12:17I said, don't worry about it.
12:18You'll figure it out. But you have the best genes you can have, actually.
12:22Then he talks more about the ballroom and he goes, we're going to build a
12:25ballroom and it's going to be really big.
12:27And anyway, here, play this clip.
12:29A lot of great service members here with us, too, in this beautiful building.
12:34Isn't it beautiful? We're adding on to the building a little bit.
12:37We're improving the building. See that nice drape?
12:41When that comes down right now, you see a very, very deep hole.
12:45But in about a year and a half from now, you're going to see a
12:48very, very beautiful building. And there's your entrance to it right there.
12:52In fact, it looks so nice.
12:53I don't think I'll even, I think I'll save money on the doors because it
12:56can't get more beautiful than that.
12:58I picked those drapes in my first term.
13:01I always like gold, but I think we can save a lot of money.
13:05I just saved, I just saved curtains.
13:08Then Donald Trump claims that we had a deal with Iran and then that they
13:13broke the deal. And that's why we had to strike when in fact the handpicked
13:18mediator by the United States, the foreign minister of Oman, who's who the United States
13:24picked to mediate the dispute with Iran on Friday said that there was a deal
13:28in principle that Iran agreed to the United States terms.
13:31There were technical issues with the International Atomic Energy Agency that needed to be sorted
13:36out on Monday today, but that there was basically a deal in principle.
13:40So our own handpicked mediator who was trying to negotiate a deal with Iran went
13:45on TV and said there was a deal.
13:47And then the United States struck after we knew that there was a deal and
13:52we were just waiting on Monday to iron out some technical details.
13:55But here's what Donald Trump says, because he, I mean, he lies about everything here.
13:58Play this clip. And we thought we had a deal, but then they backed out
14:04and they came back and we thought we had a deal and they backed out.
14:07I said, you can't deal with these people.
14:09You got to do it the right way.
14:11More from Donald Trump talking about the ballroom.
14:13Let's play it. Because we're donating it, not a penny to the taxpayer.
14:18It'll be under budget ahead of schedule.
14:21It'll be 400 million or less.
14:24Most people say 400 million or more.
14:26No, it'll be less. But when I hear that sound, that beautiful sound behind me,
14:32it means money. So I like it.
14:34But my wife isn't thrilled.
14:36She said, this is getting crazy.
14:38I said, don't worry about it.
14:40We'll be all finished up in a few months.
14:42He then opines on bravery.
14:44Play it. You know, bravery is amazing.
14:46You never really know who's brave, who's not until they're really tested.
14:49We think some people are brave, Pete, and they're not.
14:53We think others aren't. And they are.
14:55You never know. But he was tested.
14:58That's called the ultimate test.
15:00Right. And then he says that the best way to grieve for our soldiers who
15:04have died in this war right now is to do more war.
15:08I'll show you this clip right here.
15:09Today, we grieve for the four heroic American service members who have been killed in
15:14action and send our love and support to their families.
15:19In their memory, we continue this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat
15:25this terrorist regime poses to the American people and a threat.
15:30Indeed, it is. And he says we're ahead of our projections.
15:33Let's play this clip imposes to the American people and a threat.
15:38Indeed, it is. We have the strongest and most powerful by far military in the
15:44world, and we will easily prevail.
15:48We're already substantially ahead of our time projections.
15:54But whatever the time is, it's OK.
15:56Whatever it takes, we will always.
15:59And we have right from the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we
16:06have. Capability to go far longer than that.
16:09We'll do it. Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh, well, if the president wants
16:14to do it really quickly after that, he'll get bored.
16:16I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this.
16:20Do you agree with that, Pete?
16:21I don't think there's anything, Mr.
16:22General, I think there's nothing boring about it.
16:26Somebody actually said from the media, I think he'll get bored after about a week
16:30or two. No, we don't get bored.
16:32I never get bored. If I got bored, I wouldn't be standing here right now.
16:35I guarantee you that, to go through what I had to go through.
16:39And so we're ahead of our projections.
16:41Oh, and then he also says, following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program, we warn
16:47them not to rebuild. Okay, if they totally obliterate it, didn't you say they were
16:52done, that they couldn't rebuild for decades?
16:54Makes no sense what you're saying.
16:55Here, play this clip. Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program in Operation Midnight Hammer
17:04a short while ago, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at
17:11a different location because they weren't able to use the ones that we so powerfully
17:17blew up. But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear
17:22weapons. In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically.
17:29And this posed a very clear, colossal threat to America and our forces stationed overseas.
17:36The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases, both local and
17:42overseas, and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.
17:48Folks, even realtor .com is opining right now on how disastrous this war is going
17:54to be to mortgages. Here's what realtor .com posted.
17:58The US Israeli strikes on Iran are pushing mortgage rates higher as oil prices surge
18:03and inflation fears dominate bond markets.
18:05Although Iran produces only 3 % of global oil, about 20 % of crude shipments
18:10pass through the nearby Strait of Hermes, raising concerns about supply disruptions and higher costs.
18:16Higher oil prices typically lead to inflation fears, which send bond yields and mortgage rates
18:22upward. Mortgage rates hit a three -year low last week, but could reverse course if
18:27the conflict persists. And we are indeed learning about Iran drones striking oil tankers in
18:32the Strait of Hermes. Here, play this clip as it was announced that there was
18:36indeed a strike. This is from Sky News.
18:38Here, play this clip. We've just got some breaking news that's just come into us
18:42from the Reuters news agency.
18:45They say Iran's Revolutionary Guard said a fuel tanker was burning in the Strait of
18:49Hermes after being hit by two drones.
18:51They had told Iran's news agencies that had reported this today.
18:56The Strait is the world's most vital oil export route, connecting the biggest Gulf oil
19:02producers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.
19:07So that news just coming in that Iran's Revolutionary Guards say a fuel tanker was
19:11burning in the Strait of Hermes after being hit by two drones.
19:17And finally, Melania delivers her closing message.
19:19What are we even doing here, folks, to the UN Security Council while we're at
19:24war with Iran? Melania Trump is in the United Nations Security Council right now.
19:28And you see behind her the ambassador to the United States, Mike Walls, who was
19:33involved in Signalgate, who put our classified information on Signal Chats.
19:37Then you see Donald Trump's other top aide behind him, the spokesperson for the State
19:43Department. Watch this. Let's play it.
19:46We are in the age of imagination, a period where technology can be free and
19:51unrestricted by land borders. Indeed, now is the time for our generation to elevate our
19:59children above ideology through access.
