Trump Panics as War Backfires and Cripples Term
3/9/202617 mincomplete
0:00It took late night breakthroughs, 404s, a coffee machine that stopped working, a co -founder
0:04who did too, new code, new investors who said maybe next round.
0:08Seeing the sector quietly pivot, knowing your idea held true, model trained, model failed, friends
0:13backing you, reading the hype, reheating the spaghetti.
0:16Another round, a working demo and a first client for this AI developer to believe
0:21they might actually have a business.
0:23It's not for everyone. The Australian Financial Review, the daily habit of successful people.
0:30Donald Trump is panicking as his war against Iran is spiraling out of control right
0:34now in Tehran. There are massive crowds actually welcoming the selection of the new Ayatollah
0:42and condemning the United States.
0:45They're out in the street there.
0:46So if this is what Donald Trump wanted to provoke right here, well, look what
0:51you've done, Donald. Look at what's going on right here in the revolutionary square in
0:56Tehran right now against Trump's war.
0:59So you can see it for yourself.
1:01Here play this glitter. And this as we've learned that the U .S.
1:16has intercepted encrypted communication believed to have been originated in Iran that may serve as
1:23an operational trigger for sleeper assets outside the country.
1:27According to a federal government alert sent to law enforcement agencies, Iran may be activating
1:35sleeper terrorist cells in retaliation for Donald Trump's invasion.
1:40But folks, the Trump kids are loving this.
1:44Donald Trump's sons are backing a new drone company, as the Wall Street Journal exclusively
1:50reports, targeting Pentagon sales. It's a company called Powerous startup, 50 employees.
1:57And as the U .S.
1:59is now asking Zelensky for help with how they've dealt with drones in Ukraine, it
2:05looks like the Trump kids want to get in on that action to maybe take
2:09some of that technology, maybe make some profit off of it as well.
2:14Don't you see that that's what this is all about right there?
2:17And they will screw over Zelensky yet again.
2:20But the Trump kids, boom, war.
2:22Let's make a ton of money right now while the American people are suffering, while
2:27our markets are tanking, while the price of oil is absolutely surging right now.
2:33They've now joined a drone company after doing Bitcoin companies.
2:37I mean, so pathetic. What is Donald Trump posting about this morning while this is
2:41all taking place? By the way, while Bahrain's top oil company just declared a force
2:49majeure in order to terminate some of its contractual obligations because its facilities are under
2:58attack. Bahrain's state oil company declared force majeure following an Iranian attack that set its
3:04only refinery ablaze. You can see right there the Bahrain Petroleum Company, BAPCO, near its
3:10capital in Manama right there.
3:12You see under attack and they're not able to fulfill any of their contracts.
3:17But here's what Trump's posting.
3:18This is all by design to make Trump and Republicans look bad for the midterm
3:24elections. Ah, that's what this is all about.
3:27America needs. to clean house from these leftist agitators.
3:31All they do is create havoc in America.
3:34They proved it with Biden's disaster for years.
3:38Enough. That's what Donald Trump is posting this morning, a repost of AdelaMo86395091.
3:46Then Donald Trump posts a meme from JujuMarie1 of AOC and Schumer and others wearing
3:54devil horns and the repost from Trump says, I've seen a lot of stuff in
4:00politics, but I've never seen people who hate their country nearly as much as the
4:05current Democrats. And with Donald Trump, it's always projection and confession.
4:09We know that he and the MAGA Republicans quite literally hate our country and they
4:14show it every single day with their actions and with their conduct.
4:18Also, Donald Trump is now demanding asylum for the Iranian women's soccer team, or if
4:25you're a broad football team from Australia.
4:27Yes, Donald Trump, who is taking Iranians from the United States and has been sending
4:32them back to Iran to be killed.
4:35And Donald Trump has been doing this with frequency here in the United States.
4:39Now, because it's a way that he can attack Australia this morning, uses asylum as
4:45a way to attack Australia when we know that he's been preventing Iranians in the
4:51US from getting asylum. Just think about that.
4:53Here's what Donald Trump posts this morning.
4:55Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran national woman's soccer team
5:01to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed.
5:05Don't do it, Mr. Prime Minister.
5:07Give asylum. The US will take them if you won't.
5:10Thank you for your attention to this matter.
5:13Donald J. Trump. Oh, and then Donald Trump does another post using the image of
5:18the Iranian woman's soccer team.
5:21And he says, asylum, exclamation point.
5:24Really? Asylum? Then you have state regime media, an arm of the Trump regime, which
5:29we call, it's called Fox here in the United States.
5:32I call it state regime media.
5:33But you have Brian Kilmeade and the hosts on Fox basically saying to all those
5:38shippers out there, to all of the captains of those big tanks, those big shipping,
5:45those big ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, he goes, here's what you need
5:49to do. Show your patriotism by going through that strait.
5:54Take your ships and go through the strait.
5:56That's the way you'll show you're patriotic because the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed
6:02right now because of the US initiating this war.
6:04Play this clip. If they could get the prices of oil up that the president
6:08would have to draw from the conflict.
6:10So just careful, guys. And he said they used to go to the Strategic Oil
6:14Reserve. That's what Joe Biden did to get prices down without a crisis.
6:18The administration announced $20 billion maritime reinsurance plan.
6:22So he's saying, hey, guys, even though we get the oil, the market's flush, this
6:27is fear, I'm still going to insure your ships.
6:30So go through the strait.
6:32And, you know, that's just part of it.
6:34If you want to diminish the Iranian threat, if you want to make sure that
6:38this ends up with complete Iran capitulation, sow some guts and go through that strait

8:45see your representative for warranty details and then later on state regime media this morning
8:50you have the united states deputy un ambassador tammy bruce saying well even if russia
8:57is helping iran target the us troops and target us interests there they're not doing
9:04a good job because we've decimated iran iran is decimated well i showed the video
9:11before yes you are decimating areas of iran yes you are dropping big bombs on
9:17iran and you are blowing stuff up no doubt about that including elementary school where
9:24over 150 children died 185 people in total yes you're blowing lots of things up
9:30israel's blowing up oil rigs lots of things are being blown up in iran right
9:34now no doubt about it um but i'm not sure it's decimated because you've turned
9:40even people who are sympathetic to the united states potentially and against the ayatollah you've
9:47turned them against us now this couldn't have backfired more here play this clip nat
9:51how important is it to the us that china and russia not just stay out
9:56of it but but we don't they don't feel like we've drawn them into it
10:00well obviously i won't speak for the president or the white house we also i
10:04know the administration's not going to comment on uh intelligence whether it's true or not
10:09that's been leaked uh what we can say of course is that uh if that
10:14ends up being true or anything that disturbs what we're attempting to do the president
10:18has relationships with anyone and would address that directly with russia himself that is what
10:23the people voted for when they voted for him again that two times they voted
10:27for him is that this is a man who's going to do things differently who's
10:31taking charge who knows everyone who wants diplomacy first who wants negotiated solutions first he
10:38clearly in order to for us to be to be able to function he must
10:42speak to everyone whether it's china or russia And now my being in a multilateral
10:47environment, 193 countries across the street from the U .S.
10:51mission, is that the world, you've got to talk to them, and they begin to
10:55understand and want leadership. That is what President Trump offers the world.
10:59They see the difference. And this dynamic right now, clearly, no matter what is going
11:04on or if anyone's helping Iran, they're not doing a very good job of it
11:08because they're decimated at this point.
11:11Now it's a matter of the way forward.
11:13And Donald Trump will decide what that way is.
11:16You know, and speaking of how it's backfired more, I've read you some of the
11:19writings of this Emirati billionaire from the United Arab Emirates, this Emirati billionaire a few
11:25days back. He runs the Al -Habtur Group.
11:28And here's what he writes this morning after hearing what Lindsey Graham's been saying on
11:32all the morning shows and how Lindsey Graham's been, you know, shoulder to shoulder with
11:37Donald Trump saying these things.
11:39Khalaf Ahmad Al -Habtur says the following, I heard the statements of Lindsey Graham in
11:44which he calls on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to enter this war, saying that
11:49we are also under attack and that we must join the fight.
11:52And I say to him clearly, we know full well why we are under attack.
11:57And we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting
12:03those he calls his allies in the region.
12:05We thank God. And we thank God that the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf
12:10Cooperation Council countries are doing well.
12:12And we have no need for someone who claims he came to the Middle East
12:15to save us. The truth is that hasty American decisions are what embroiled the region
12:21in a war whose people were not party to its decision making and its local
12:25allies were not consulted before it was launched.
12:28We do not deny the Iranian threat to the region, which has become clear in
12:32recent days. We do not trust Iran, but this is a dirty game in which
12:37several powers clash at the expense of our region with no honor in it and
12:42no transparency. In this scene, Iran, Israel, and the United States all move according to
12:49their own interests, not according to the interests of the peoples of the Middle East
12:53and Arab countries. And for this reason, we say it clearly.
12:56We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we
13:00sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political
13:05solutions. We value the lives of our sons and we do not treat their souls
13:09as collateral damage as some do.
13:11Nothing in this world is more precious than the lives of our sons and no
13:15alliance with any country in the world is worth risking these lives.
13:19If President Donald Trump and Senator Graham are prepared to risk their country and the
13:23lives of Americans for Israel's interests, that is their choice.
13:27As for us, we will not do the same.
13:29Senator Graham says they are the Arabs' allies and that we need and benefit from
13:34U .S. protection. And I say to him, we do not need your protection.
13:38All we want from you is to keep your hands off of us.
13:41He also says we sell you weapons as if that were a service the United
13:45States provides us. The truth is, this is no favor from anyone.
13:49We invest in our security and pay billions of dollars for these weapons.
13:53And it is a massive trade and industry built on these deals.
13:56In fact, the United States itself is now turning to buy weapons from Ukraine to
14:01supply its allies in other wars.
14:03This is an industry that thrives on wars and arms sales, not a charitable endeavor.
14:08And the clearest example and the clearest thing of all is what Senator Graham himself
14:13said when he spoke about oil.
14:14He stated that Iran and Venezuela together hold 31 % of oil reserves and that
14:20the United States could establish a partnership.
14:23that with this share of the world's oil and that it would be a nightmare
14:27for China. He even added that if the regime in Iran changes, there would be
14:31a new Middle East and the United States would make a lot of money.
14:36And then he goes on to say, it's obvious that this is what it's all
14:39about right here and we're not being used for that purpose.
14:42Very wise words indeed. And so that's what's going on this morning right now.
14:49Over here, you've got J .D.
14:52Vance out there not calling this a war.
14:54He calls it a conflict with Iran.
14:56Play this clip. In the dignified transfer of six American soldiers who were killed overseas
15:02in this conflict with Iran.
15:06And you've got Tom Emmer, MAGA Republican Congress member who's in Doral, Miami right now
15:12because all the Republicans are at a retreat with Donald Trump.
15:15They're spending all their money at Trump's resort, of course.
15:18And he said, you know, this is just a short term.
15:21This isn't a war. He says we're in a short term experience right now.
15:24Let's play this clip. I believe it is already being extremely successful and I believe
15:31it'll be over in short order.
15:33That that that would be obviously the best case scenario over in short order because
15:38the if if the GOP had a problem or if it was trying to address
15:45affordability and the president addressing that with oil over a hundred dollars, that that suddenly
15:51it becomes, you know, the war in Iran as well as what happens domestically with
15:57prices. Yeah. Yesterday, I think a barrel of oil was at one hundred and five
16:01dollars. So your point's well taken.
16:03But as the president has said, this is a short term experience.
16:08This is a short term cost to literally deal with the chief sponsor.
