Iran VOWS REVENGE /Lt Col Daniel Davis

The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports.

Right now, the NBA is heating up, March Manus is here, and MLB is almost back.

Every day there's a new headline, a new highlight, a new moment you've got to see for yourself.

That's why I stay locked in with the Bleacher Report app.

For me, it's about staying connected to my sports.

I could follow the teams I care about, get real-time scores, breaking news, and highlights

all in one place.

Dallow the Bleacher Report app today, so you never miss a moment.

The new Iranian Supreme Leader has vowed to block the Strait of Hormuz and to seek revenge

for all those who have been killed in the war.

This is day 13 of the American Iranian War, no end in sight.

We're going to give you an update on exactly what's been happening.

We'll just hit with our top story right off the beginning.

For the first time since he was ascended to the throne, so to speak, the new Supreme

Leader, who's not an idol, by the way, that's apparently a separate religious title that

they can get later, but he is definitely the Supreme Leader following in the footsteps

of his father.

He said in the comments attributed to him today, that the retribution we have in mind

is not limited to the martyrdom of the great leader of the revolution alone, every member

of the nation martyred by the enemy constitutes an independent matter for the file of retribution,

he said.

Hamani pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz a key oil shipping lane closed.

The lever of closing the Strait of Hormuz must certainly continue to be used, he said.

Studies have been conducted regarding the opening of other fronts where the enemy has little

experience and will be severely vulnerable.

Their activation will take place should the state of war persist in accordance with our

strategic considerations.

I'll just leave that up for a second.

I want to talk about each of those or bring it back up in a minute, I guess.

Let's start with the issue of that it's not just for his father.

This is important to point out here because this is something that is a very personal issue

for Hamani because as you may have heard, it wasn't just that his father was killed in

this first strike here, but according to Iranian reports, he was as well.

Moshdaba was also wounded in that attack, his mother, his father, his wife, at least one

of his children and one of his nieces, I believe, were all killed in that and then of course

all the people in Iran, elsewhere that have been killed, whether it's members of the IRGC,

the police forces or civilians caught in the crossfire of some of these other bombs that

have been falling.

There's a lot of people that have been killed and a lot of people who want revenge and

retribution and he's saying this is for all of them.

And again, I think this is one of the reasons they selected him because he is somebody

who has personal experience with this.

So when he is calling the nation to have some kind of sacrifice or when he's saying we

have to stand firm, he comes with great background and a lot of gravitas in health.

He can ask sacrifice of people because he himself has already suffered it and of course

nobody is going to have greater animus toward the United States than he does.

That's also somewhat problematic when we're talking about the possibility of will he,

since he is now the guy in charge as opposed to his father who had the Fattwa against

the having a nuclear weapon, he now changed that Fattwa because he apparently has the authority

to do that.

Certainly, we're not going to know.

It's not he think he talked about and he's not going to anything's happening behind

the scenes.

I'm sure that we'll find out about it either with some kind of seismic event where we

find out they tested a nuclear weapon underground or God forbid that there should be one on

the surface, which is also a possibility.

That's what we don't know.

We're waiting to find out about that.

But let's get back to what we do know here.

He then pledged that they're going to keep the straight of Hormuz shut.

He said it must certainly continue to be used.

Now, we've done a show earlier this afternoon.

It won't repeat a lot of the details of that.

Definitely recommend you go back and watch that.

But what we have seen is that Iran has a great many advantages here.

They have the capacity to keep that thing closed and there is a reason why you have not

seen the United States Navy move to shut it to force and open right now because we

recognize that they have the leverage here and that they have the capacity to keep it

open and we can't go in there without great cost.

I'm sure that the U.S. Navy, the Department of Defense and the White House are probably

all working very hard to try to come up with some new and creative ways to get that thing

open.

I can imagine that's a 24-7 consumption on their part because that is definitely President

Trump's priority number one to get that thing back open because that is literally the

fulcrum of the entire war right now.

Who's going to ultimately have the power?

Will it be the Iranian side to keep the Hormuz shut or would it be the Americans to be

able to force it open?

That actually takes priority even over regime change, over long-range missiles, anything

else drones all that because that is the lifeblood of the Western economy and one that

was already rickety.

This is certainly not going to help it.

At the moment, let's see, let me pull this up here, I'm in the wrong spot.

At the moment, this is, of course, Todd, we're going to keep this.

This is a live ticker here.

This is the price of oil right now and you see it is at $96 a barrel.

That's up 10% for the day.

It started yesterday.

Yesterday, it was high for a couple of days ago and then it went down and then it started

ticking back up.

Now that you see it's been rolling up even as the day goes on and now it's at $96.

President Trump got a temporary dip when he said, oh, well, the war is almost over.

We're going to find some way to get it over but then that gave nothing more than a blip

and it continued its backwards, upward drive and that is, unless you get that straight

open, that's going to continue to be the case here.

You're not going to get that off.

You're not going to get that back down to what it was and remember, it was at $67.

You can see on that graph, the chart there, all the way far to the left.

That was at $67 before the war started and now that it's, it's, had

some dips, but it's continuing to rise.

It's only going to keep going farther north the longer they succeed.

He is in a good position right now and he is not going to release that pressure any

time soon.

We also showed you that the president, Posseskyin, said, yeah, we'll consider negotiations

but only on a couple of pretty key conditions.

Number one, that you pay reparations to us for doing that, which, in my view, that's

probably just saying we're not going to have an end to this.

You're not going to negotiate anything away because he knows the United States is certainly

not going to accept responsibility and pay reparations and you don't pay anything unless

you accept responsibility for it.

That's just human nature, obviously.

So, I don't think they have any sense that that's actually going to happen other than

to signal they have no interest in this.

Then the other one was, as you see on the screen right there, that they want firm international

guarantees and that one is a little bit more serious and doable because I think they

would be looking at other countries like Russia, China, Pakistan and possibly some others.

Maybe even some Western countries, if they think they can get it, it's going to guarantee

this won't happen again because whatever Iran is going to do right now, their whole point

is to get to long-term security because they haven't had it.

I mean, let's go back to, really, to 2010 when Israel started assassinating people inside

the country.

They were nuclear scientists.

They started going with the Stuxnet.

You may remember that where there was a cyber attack and it just caused wreaked all kinds

of harm and damage into their nuclear reprocess and capacity, et cetera.

Then it started with the, in 2020, kind of picked back up with President Trump assassinating

Salamanee and then it kicked back up even higher after the October to 2023 terrorist attack

from Hamas inside Israel.

Then they used that opportunity to expand their operations and they started going back again

after Iran.

They destroyed their embassy and then that turned into the 12-day war and then it also turned

into this war we're in right now.

That's where we're happening from the Iranian perspective.

They want to do whatever it's going to take, pay whatever price they need to right now

to get some kind of guarantee that it doesn't keep happening.

They're looking for any external help.

What that implies is, and we need to understand the mentality on the Iranian side is that based

on these statements and based on these conditions they're putting up and based on what their

supreme leader is now saying is that they are digging in for a long-term operation here.

I think they have no doubts and no fantasies that this is going to be over anytime soon.

As you're going to see in a minute ago, that they have probably been preparing for this

both physically and psychologically.

I think that they realize by the dense of that statement that they're putting out, especially

on the reparations, is that they know only with a lot of pain over a long period of time

is it even theoretically possible that the US could get to a point to where it's going

to happen to go, she had a sense, a settlement because President Trump, quite to the contrary,

is looking like anything to do crazy to get this off the table right now.

He cannot take this long time.

He doesn't have the capacity to go along the United States definitely did not plan for

a long engagement.

In fact, they planned for a short, sharp and quick engagement to keep it off and that

is already, we've already lost that.

That's already past tense.

We've lost.

We didn't get it done fast and now we have no plan, no resources to go further.

I can tell you that for some inside sources I have of some of folks down range that was

passed on to me by a very reliable source is that we're already suffering a lot, a lot

more than what you see on the screens.

There are more harm done to our facilities than anybody has been admitting publicly yet.

I hadn't seen on any of our mainstream news media, certainly the White House hadn't

admitted it.

In fact, as you can see, we'll show you at the end of this, something that's, I mean,

all you can do is shake your head and just say, what the literal hell are we doing here

focusing on such comic things, Gary's going to show you some of that in a minute.

But the bottom line is we are in a real difficult time here and this whole, the Navy here

is, let's see, Rand War, US Navy will escort vessels through the straight of our moves as

soon as military possible.

Apparently, that's breaking news.

That says 305.

That's a little over an hour ago.

That is, yeah, okay, well that's, that is updating news.

We're seeing it live as we're on the screen here.

Thanks for finding that, Gary, that's, yeah, the, the, the war leader Scott Besent is the

one telling us that.

Not sure why that's the spokesman you're wanting to go.

It seems like that should be their secretary of state or secretary of war, maybe even the

president, but Scott Besent, that's a curious spokesman for that to come through.

But we'll see if that happens because as I mentioned, ironically, I said, I'm sure that

they're working behind the scenes to try to find some way to do it.

But I'm telling you, if we go in there with this, with this little thought put into that

is what we have put into this operation as a whole, we're going to see what I warned

about this morning.

I pray to God we don't, which is, which is a burning hulk of not just a tanker in the

Gulf, but of an American warship, man, we don't need to be having that.

I hope that's just attempt to put some pressure on Iran or something.

I don't know.

It's not going to work.

But I hope that's what it is as opposed to being an actual declaration of something's

coming because that could just dramatically deepen the cost that we're already suffering.

One of the other things I want to talk about here, our objective, if the first one was

a regime collapse and haven't made something happen pretty quick, then the second one

shifted to, OK, well, then let's put as much pressure on it as we can to get the people

to rise up against the government, right?

Well, there's some intel that's been at this out today.

In addition to that one that was leaked from the NIC earlier, Gary, if you can put that

full screen up, that reports to us that, yeah, that's not happening either.

The US intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact, so we did

not succeed in the decapitation only in killing the senior Supreme Leader and is not at

risk of collapse anytime soon, after nearly two weeks of relentless US and Israeli bombardment,

according to three sources, familiar with the matter of multitude of intelligence reports

provide consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger of collapse and retains control

of the Iranian public.

There is additional reporting from BBC that the hope that we are going to have the people

rise up and turn against the government is also apparently not going to happen.

Not that one, Gary, it's the one with the BBC on it.

That one right there, the BBC has been reaching out to hard core anti-regime Iranians within

Iran who initially supported the US's rally war.

They report that many already have doubts or have entirely changed their minds.

Investigation by the FT found the same, that's a British publication, Iranians in Iran opposes

war, don't believe the nonsense, and that matches what we have found.

We had some Iranians that were on there, Nima, from dialogue works, was on our show, who

was in Iran at the time of these things.

He was tembending tell us that a lot of the people he's aware of said that this is not

anything that's going to turn people against.

We've had other reports, same thing.

We showed you that interview by CBS News of somebody who was an anti-regime person who

was in Iran and said, hey, this is an issue between the Iranians.

We're not going to turn against our own government with a destruction being brought in by one

of our enemies of Israel and the United States.

That was another major unforced error that we thought that was going to work.

Yet here we are, day 13, no closer to an end than we were before.

Hey, Danny, we do have a breaking news, Scott Bessent, talking to Sky News, admitting

or at least proclaiming that as soon as it's military possible, let's take a look.

It is my belief that as soon as it is militarily possible, the US Navy, and perhaps with an

international coalition, will be escorting vessels through.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, seriously, for all of the things that I say

negative about the Secretary of War, at least he comes off like, I'm going to kind of

end your face and all this kind of stuff and he projects a lot of strength and testosterone

and all that.

As opposed to this, well, it is in a very passive and meek way.

It is my belief that when it's military possible that maybe we'll have not exactly a ringing

endorsement and you're going to have others, perhaps he's referring to the French who apparently

are sending an aircraft carrier to the region, we'll see if they, I mean, I think they are going

ahead in that direction. We'll see if they actually engage or anybody else.

But I cannot imagine any other Navy saying, sure, we're going to send our ships into the

Strait of Hormuz where the IRGC is in control of it and we know they have a lot of capacity

and see if it works.

I mean, I just can't imagine them doing that.

I don't know. So many things that I couldn't imagine have already happened and some others

that I'm about to show you have also happened. But it's a bad gamble. Don't do it.

This is not something that's going to work out well for us. We're going to have to do something

that we don't want to do. And I think we're going to end up having to suck down a lot of humility,

eat a lot of crow and have some kind of a negotiated end that's not going to be to our desire.

Because right now, the only desire we have is everything we want and give nothing.

That's how we live for a long time. That's the only thing the President Trump administration

has done, especially in this term. There's only taken, give nothing. And that has been saying

for a long time now that's got an expiration date. And it could be right upon us right now.

We're not there yet, though, because that's going to take a lot of pain before we accept that.

That could be coming. I want to go here to a short little clip here that was on the Glenn

Dixon show. We've had him on our show a lot. Professor Merandi from Tehran University. We've

also had him on the show. He is a definitely pro on the regime side. I want to be clear on that.

But it is incredibly important to hear his viewpoint because he's going to be talking about

something here that we had been wondering about. And he said on the show that something he had not

talked about before. But he said now that the war has started. He said he feels freedom to talk

about it. And that is why did the Iranian side agree to the ceasefire in 2025 at the 12-day

mark? Why did they agree to that then? And then why are they not going to agree to it now? And what

he says is very instructive both of why they did that and why they're prepared right now.

After the 12-day war, many were saying why did Iran accept the ceasefire? The reason why Iran

accepted the ceasefire, even though it was winning the war, and it didn't accept it on day one,

it continued striking for like three or four days and then it accepted a halt in hostility.

But the reason was that during the 12-day war, even though Iran gradually gained the upper hand

and was winning, Iran knew that if the war continued, the United States would have an incentive

to enter the war and bring in all these weapons systems that they brought. And Iran recognized that

while they were doing well, they had many shortcomings. Therefore, they decided to end the hostilities

and prepare themselves for the big war. And so for the last eight, nine months, Iranians have been

working 24 hours a day. Now, even though the combined fire powers much bigger than from the enemy

is much greater than it was during the 12-day war, the number of launchers that have been destroyed

are much lower. The number of martyrs in the military much lower. Iran was able to this time round

remove its key assets from bases. And so most of these strikes were on empty buildings.

So what this explains to and shows who reveals is that the Iranian side is a very calculating

organization, the IRGC, their government. We're often left characterizing them as just this

evil regime that's always bent on evil and destroying it, whatever. But whatever their actions

are here, this shows a very clear-minded, sober-minded, open-eyed discussion of what the

balance of power is, where their strengths are, where their weaknesses are, and then they're

taking actions based on the conditions that exist here to try as a weaker power to try to be

able to endure something from a stronger power. So it was interesting because they said, listen,

what they decided, what they realized at the time, which also validates something we had

suspected, is that they didn't want to get into a war with the United States. Had we not

chosen this war, there would be no war between the United States and Iran. They weren't going to

attack anybody. That's complete lie. This total manufacturer had made up just to try to make it

look better with what we've done. Evidence screams that they would not have. And now he's

validating that they definitely didn't want to, not out of any moralistic sense, but just because

they recognized the balance of power was way out of proportion. And if they got into a fight with

the United States, they would suffer a lot of casualties, a lot of destruction, a lot of harm to

their country. And they didn't want to do that. But they also recognized that we were not leaving

them much of a choice and that it was only a matter of time for the next one kicked off. As I

pointed out at the time, when that 12 day came to an end and President Trump is talking about,

you know, peace in our time. And I've gotten more peace in 3000 years and all that kind of mess.

That was never true because none of the fundamentals that went into causing that conflict were even

addressed much less salt. So it was only a matter of time before everybody got back into

position to where the U.S. and the Israeli side was said, all right, now we're ready to get back

at it, get it restarted. Iran didn't want to war then. They didn't want to war now, but they

realized they have got to pay attention. The next thing he said is this and they recognize that

they're failures. They recognize the weaknesses, the things that were exposed as being a bad strategy

or bad tactics weaknesses they had. Not the least of which was the fact that they got surprised

by some Mossad agents and maybe CIA and MI6 that were on the ground that released drones from

the inside that did knocked out a lot of their air defenses from the beginning, etc. So they learned

a lot of those lessons. So very practical. All right, we have to start paying a lot more attention

to our own front yard and our own backyard, etc. So they did not get caught short there either.

But then they started saying, okay, they did some very careful planning and honest evaluations.

All right, if we go into a war, if there's another war comes on us, we're going to get hit hard

in the air. So they knew that America has great missile power, very good drones, air power.

They knew all of that. See powered in it was all going to come. So they're going to get hit hard.

So they had already been practicing and preparing remember for decades, not just since June of

last summer, but for decades. And so they had been building these underground cities, these

missile cities, manufacturing capacity. And you know, of course, portion of that means that they

also have to stockpile the raw materials that go into making this stuff so that even if they get

shut down with more sanctions and whatnot, they would still be able to produce and still be

able to manufacture. So they're not going to be limited to just whatever stored at the time that

the strike comes in. So I'm pretty sure that that was something they had already prepared for.

But now they're saying, all right, we did not take even more action. So they started moving more

assets underground. And you can imagine also that the Navy here was also something you can't hide

that. You can't hide some of these large combatants and that video Gary showed. I think it was

yesterday from the commander of central command where he just went through methodically and showed

all these videos of these big vessels at port getting shot and blown up. I mean, I think they knew

there was nothing they could do about those. There's nowhere they could hide them. And I think they

knew that those were going down. But then in these other videos, we now see that they have released

that a lot of these were underground. Miranda talked about those also. He said a lot of the Navy assets.

I don't remember if it was in that video I showed or one of the other ones I watched that same

interview, but he said a lot of those are underground. So they're not going to be visible. And he said

those can be brought out at any time when they're ready to go. If they if they need to take action in

the Gulf, then they'll be brought out. So they said they're underground. They can be they have water

access and that can be brought in or brought to the water, et cetera. So we've seen video evidence

of that. So we know that to some degree, that's true for sure. Then he also said, listen, even though

we had inferior firepower, they knew that their strategy was to endure. And so they also clearly had

a plan. We talked about this ahead of time as well, that this dead hand platform that if there

was a big strike, the expectation was going to be an attempted decapitation that there was going

to be an attack on their communication systems, tried to degrade all that. So they already had in

place that the minute that that happens, that everybody executes their missions that they were

given by the Supreme Leader, IITS HOLA, Ali Khamenei, and so they did that. So they had a big

spurge at the beginning. And then now then they have settled into some sort of an ongoing

sustained rate of fire. And that is what they plan to do. That is what some of their leaders,

the RGC leaders have come out and said since that time, that their plan is to have a sustained rate.

And they, one of their leaders actually said, I think it was yesterday, they could do this for 10

years that they needed to. I'm not sure they can go quite that long, but they can definitely carry

this on. I would say at an absolute minimum, at current levels of probably a year and maybe even

more than that at current levels, meaning that the sustained rate that they're on right now,

is something they could probably keep up for a year or more. Now, can we endure that for a year

or more? I would argue that we probably can't. In fact, I would say we can't. There's that video.

I was talking about here. This is so you can see while I'm talking here, some of these surface

vessels that are about to be exploded. So I think that they recognized that those were going to go,

so they weren't basing their defense on that. And obviously, even with all these ships taken out,

they have still, for 13 days, successfully kept the straight closed, and we have not been able to

do anything about it. What does that tell you? If we've destroyed all these naval assets, and now

then we're going to shift to other hard targets and airplanes that there's some of these other

videos, if we're counting them with all the stuff and yet, we still have not forced to open

the straighter hormones. That tells you that we're aware that they still have striking capacity,

and that they can still cause serious harm to our ships if we come into that area.

So that's an acknowledgement of reality, that even though they are a weaker power in this

context, because they have prepared decades and certainly eight months now in sharp preparation

ahead of time, they were prepared for this. They were prepared mentally. We had Colonel Jacques

Boe on earlier today, tell you that the mentality, even among many of the Shia Muslims,

are all about the Jihad, which is a struggle. It's not a holy war in the sense that we

have been led to believe a lot that it was done during the Operation Recky Freedom, etc., or

after 9-11. This is the mentality that you struggle and to win means to continue to survive.

That was so important, and I certainly recommend you go watch that show in its entirety here today

with Colonel Jacques Boe, fantastic piece there. That's on our video tab. Go watch that one.

But let's take a look here at the remainder of this, because this also,

Miranda also said that their strategy was that a lot of the Navy was, of course, to be in tunnels.

It would be used if what Scott Besson said there a minute ago, if that starts to happen,

you could see that. There has already been, in the years prior to this, lots of reports,

especially in some of the military generals that I read, that there was a concern among the US

Navy that if we got into a conflict that they could have these swarms of a lot of these boats,

and now that they have not just small missile boats, which can move in a little harder to attack,

then some of these big combatants that you saw a second ago, but they also have now a lot of

these drones, and a lot of these drone boats and unmanned boats, and we've already seen. Last

night, a lot of those tankers were blown up in the Gulf, reportedly by these drone, but it's

basically suicide boats that come in there, and we saw it to great effect there, so there will

be some concern about that. Apparently, they have those in some of their bunkers as well, and

there's some of the boats you see on your screen, as we're speaking about.

I want to go to something else that a US senator had to say,

and actually, no, before I get to that, I don't want to stick on the Gulf here.

I showed you a minute ago, the current price of oil, which I think it said was $96 at the,

yeah, $96, that's the current number, that's the lab number. This comes after President Trump

tried to calm the market, as if I was saying the war was almost going to be over. People don't

know about war. They probably, a lot of the people who were in charge of setting the price for oil,

or the ones that affected, probably don't watch our show. Maybe they should, but they probably

haven't been. So the market went down for a period of time. Memory, it got all, it spiked at

116, I think, 116 on Monday, and then it went down when President Trump tried to comment with

his words, and it did, went all the way down. I saw a low of 82, so it went from 116 to 82,

because of his words. And then the strategic reserve was tapped into. That's what we have

that is a petroleum reserve that's built for shocks like this. If the supply gets low,

that we can store it up so that we don't get caught short. Now America, for our own needs,

has a lot of oil, and we could provide our own needs if it turned out to us. We had to

Fortress America. We could take care of our own energy needs for quite a while, but it's a global

commodity, and therefore a global price. And here, if you could put that full screen up there

that shows about this petroleum reserve, one of the things we've already tried, they didn't talk

about this very much and didn't get too much notoriety about it, but we have released 172 million

barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. And the point to that is the reason for that

is to put that much oil back on the global market, because that's to replace the oil that got

shut down from the straight. Well, that worked for a little while, but you saw that chart.

It went back up and now it's at $96 barrel. And that's because you can only release so much of that.

And you don't want to, because that's your strategic reserve for emergencies. This isn't an

emergency. Right now, this is a problem, because that's going to make the prosco, but just to make

the prosco, to get rid of the oil you have, if there's an actual shock later on, if anything gets

shut off for a long period of time, now you don't have it. And by the way, despite what people say

all the time, the United States is not self-dependent on petroleum. We don't provide all of our gas. We

provide a great portion of it, but we still import. I haven't seen the latest numbers last time I

looked. It was about 6 million barrels of oil per day that we import. A lot of people aren't aware

of that, but we actually do. So that's why you want to keep that strategic reserve. So in the event

that we have a problem finding oil to purchase at any price, we'll have it in our own storehouses

that can last hopefully for a long time. But the fact that even with the release of this

strategic petroleum reserve, the pros still went back up to $96, and it's hanging top there right now,

tells you that the market is now aware that, okay, this doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon.

Well, there are other issues involved too, and that is going to expose that we have a problem

across the board with the leadership in the United States. I'm going to show you here Senator Slotkin

who at a recent hearing was complaining about what the Russians are doing to help Iran target.

There's press reports that the Russians are helping target US ships and aircraft. And I just hope

we can all be on the same page. And certainly in Europe, you understand the threat of Russia

that if Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a Rubicon. We are in another moment.

And we have to take decisive action on that. And instead, we're giving them breaks on oil.

They're making a ton of money and all the weapons and all the systems that we need for this war

are what we would have otherwise given Ukraine to defend themselves. So the situation with drones

in this war and the situation with Russia in helping to potentially kill American forces and

target our weapons and our systems, our ships, they are new. And we need to adjust to that new reality.

We need to adjust to that new reality. And you heard her. I mean, she's shocked, unbelievable

that Russia is actually helping an enemy of the United States in a war we chose.

And we need to take decisive action. Now, of course, I couldn't help. And I'm sure the majority

people walked in our show already know what I'm about to say here because it was evident to use

your listening to the sound by there. You're thinking without even a hint of irony, are you serious?

Do you not realize what we have been doing for four years to provide lethal support targeting

supports specifically even that same category and lots of physical weapons ammunition training in

the whole nine to Ukraine to use to kill Russians. So the Russians, Ukraine or in war, we're helping

one side to kill the other side to the Russians. And now what a shock they're doing back to us what

we've been doing to them. And so far, they appear to be doing it on a lot less of a scale than we

did because I at least haven't seen any public notice so far that they've given like large amounts

of ammunition or weapons and physical capabilities to the Iranian side. But now that they're apparently

at least the report is that they're giving them targeting capability and intelligence.

And that's sitting here off that. We need to take decisive action. Okay, Senator, what

decisive action do you think? Seriously, let's just make a bunch of rhetoric here. What

decisive action should we take against Russia for the audacity to do to us what we do to the amount

of daily basis? Go to war with them. Should we threaten to launch a nuclear weapon? I mean, what do

you mean? I mean, if you say that we can't let this happen without adding any decisive action,

what are you suggesting? And see, that's a problem. We love rhetoric and it's like how dare somebody

do something to us. I genuinely don't think that she actually put A and B together to realize that

she herself is voted on so many packages sending stuff to Ukraine against Russia. Oh, that's

different. I'm sure she would probably say in her mind if she actually puts those two things

together. But what do you think we're going to do? And to have the, you know, this umbrage and how

dare they et cetera, and we want decisive action, but then you don't even know what to suggest next.

I mean, seriously, what decisive action are you talking about? I don't want to hear rhetoric.

I want to hear statements. I want to hear an actionable plan. What do you propose that we should do?

Because if it's to me, I would actually have an answer to that that I think that

what we need to do is engage in diplomacy and get the hell out of that war that we can't win

that all we can do is help Ukraine lose worse. And yeah, we're throwing a lot of weapons away,

a lot of money away and wasted a lot of our assets in dispersing our energy, especially

with into Europe with lots of troops and stuff against the non-existent threat of Russian invasion.

It's also getting the Ukrainians killed. And without that, they would, they would have stopped

dying a long time ago. It's not going to change the outcome that's already baked in. But I digress,

don't get me on that. Sorry, this is not on that war. We're talking here, but that is a big

problem that we have. One other thing I want to point out to you also, we're talking here today

about the US Israeli war against Iran. And we've talked about all the issues in the past about,

you know, the reasons for that and what we should or shouldn't have done, et cetera. But there's

one thing I want to point out here, we talked at the beginning that this was only because Israel

wanted it. Netanyahu in particular, this is something that he is wanting to. And there was no

in American national security interests. This is just Trump being divorced by Netanyahu himself

and then by the allies of Netanyahu inside the American, inside the Magah movement, inside his

own personal inner circle. They combined all pressure into do something that made no

sense for American was definitely not needed for us. But there's more to it than that, too.

That's something I want to point out to you while we're focused with all what we're doing on

behalf of Israel in Iran and we're losing in troops. We're having people wind in action. We're

losing lots of assets more in that in a minute. There's been some reports I have and I'm not

going to say anything yet because I don't want to violate any terms of any information I've gotten

out there. But I can tell you, we're losing a lot more assets than has been publicly released

and as soon as it is been released, I'll certainly bring that to your attention. But know that

our troops are suffering over there. And I'm not just talking about the wound in action. I'm talking

about their confidence in the leadership, their frustration about what are we doing? We're suffering

with losses for no attainable objective. So our troops are suffering more than you may realize

here. And we're of course degrading our inventories of missiles that we may one day need for our

own national security. Meanwhile, over in Israel, they're taking advantage of this opportunity and

not putting everything they have into this war against Iran, but they're taking the opportunity

while no one's paying attention. And they're moving into Lebanon. Yes, that's right. That's what you

heard that correct. They're moving into Lebanon. Israel has ordered according to this report here.

Israel has ordered that all civilians evacuate his own 25 miles from the Israeli border. The area

includes 10 percent of the territory of Lebanon and it's home to approximately 1 million people.

The order is indefinite and we'll follow the model of Gaza where anybody who is left in this area

will be killed. This is de facto annexation and ethnic cleansing. That's the map. That's what's

being purportive as to what they're trying to claim that they're going to. I've got another,

yeah, thanks Gary. You can see this is that's on the left. There's an expanded version of what was

on that that ex post. And then on the right here is a map with some titles on it. So you can see

the Latani river there is one thing. And then this buffer zone is analogous to the period to the

bottom. But you see these rallies are now saying, yeah, no, even further north net, even farther

north of the Latani river, they're trying to say this is pushing deeper into the country of Lebanon

and they're taking advantage of this. We already know that Israel's going to advantage of the

opportunities in the in the past. Earlier this year and late last year, once the Bashar al-Assad fell,

isn't it too good to advantage that opportunity and carved out more of the Syrian territory.

So every time that no one's paying attention to Israel, they're moving into territory and taking it

and keeping it now than they're pushing into Lebanon. There's obviously no kind of justification

for moving into Lebanon. Now you may be tempted to say, well, Hasbullah has been firing into

there before. And here just last night, they joined in with Iran and they had a joint strike for

the first time. One of the first times I think they've had a coordinated attack, maybe the second time

in these 13 days so far. Well, that's what Israel is going to use as justification. Well, they're

shooting rockets, so we have to go take the territory. But this is something they've been wanting to do

for a long time. You heard Mike Huckabee in an interview with Tucker Carlson actually addressed the

issue of a greater Israel, that they want to have not just from the sea, river to the sea,

they want to expand to historical biblical Israel. What the Bible says the God gave to

King David and to King Solomon, which of course includes countries like Jordan, countries like

Iraq, countries like Egypt, countries like portions of Saudi Arabia, etc. So they're saying,

yeah, we want more of that. And now here they're going into Lebanon. Of course, that also includes

part of Lebanon too. And of course, anything Israel takes, they don't ever give back later on.

And I think that they're using their own ammunition. They're using weapons that we gave,

and we keep giving them more and more money, more ammunition. And all this does is move further

and further into Lebanon. There have been taxing Beirut. I think that might be what you're seeing.

Yeah, that's Beirut and you're seeing on the screen right there. There's some others here that

they have just been pumping. They're in turn and trying to turn parts of Lebanon into Gaza to make

it just unlivable just because they can and nobody's paying attention to definitely nobody in the

Trump administration is going to say anything. But I want to make sure you're aware of what's going on.

So our support is going to Israel to help them create an even larger geographic space.

And I don't know, maybe you're okay with that, some people. This displacement, whoever's there,

it's this sort of the same thing that happened to the Palestinians in the territory right now that's

Gaza and the West Bank just pushing them out slowly and methodically making it unlivable.

They seem to be expanding that. So I'm just telling you though, this all has an expiration date.

Let me just point blank see whether you like it or you don't or you hate it. There's an expiration date

on this because we have gotten ourselves now involved into a war that there's no obvious

extrication and it's already costing us a lot. And now then for the first time somebody is telling

Trump, no, the new Supreme Leader is telling Trump we're tired of being pushed around. And now even

though it's going to come a great cost to us, we are willing to pay it. We are willing to suffer

and to sacrifice for however long this takes. However bad the the destruction is going to be, they

are saying they're willing to pay that price. And we can't. It is going to cost us too much.

And then the the straight of hormones is one aspect of it, but the military texture another

which shows the limits of our power. And so at some point whether Trump wants to or not, he's not

going to have a choice. He's going to have to retrench. He's going to have to pull back. And

we can't just keep paying a billion dollars a day for a war that should never have been

thought that we can't afford and we can't win at an acceptable cost. That's where we are folks.

So an expiration date is coming in Israel is not going to be able to continue going on too much

longer because we're not going to have the resources to give them period. They can't keep bomb

stuff if we don't give them the bomb. They don't have the ability to make that much ammunition to

keep having these conquering territorial conquerors movements. They can't do it on their own.

And pretty soon we're not going to be able to help them on it no matter how much money we want to

print. A lot of problems coming and if God help us all, if this whole disaster here ends up

sparking a global recession or something potentially worse economically because then we're not

going to be able to pay for our own bombs if it gets to that. Something we're going to be paying

attention to, but we just want to bring you up to date on that because that's all really,

really important stuff that could have an effect on everybody's life. This is not something that's

just happened thousands of miles away. The actions that we're doing here could very soon come back

to Roost at the grocery store and the gas station down our street. That's where we're at folks.
