Hey, great news everybody. President Trump has just announced that the war with Iran is scheduled to come to an end. Turns out it's going to be sometime after November 3rd. Apparently, really close after November 3rd, which happens to be the election day here in the United States. And apparently, he's already got it all scheduled and all worked out. This war is going to come to an end as he just said hours ago of the tarmac. I would say that the attacks that caused by us, yeah. And you're going to see a lot more. We've taken out about nine of their tankers, many of our guns, though. I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. I think the war will end immediately after the election, because they can't hold out any longer. They're desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice week group of people in there and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon. All they want is a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, the whole world is in deep trouble.

Holy cow, the world is in deep trouble because of this stupid war we're fighting. I mean, literally the whole world, this is not hyperbole. Everybody is suffering because of the war he started, the war that never needed to start, the war that nobody in the Middle East wanted, except for Israel, obviously except for Israel. But nobody else in the Middle East, all the other countries, all the oil producing countries on Asia, nobody in Asia, nobody in Africa, nobody in South America, definitely nobody in Europe. Nobody wanted this war, except Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, and now everybody's paying the price for it. And there is no path. I mean, if you've been watching all of our coverage throughout this whole war and even earlier today, there's no path to get it over with. So the fact that he's now saying just hours ago that he just literally out of nowhere, he's going to be over after the midterms. And I don't know if you could hear the reporter behind. He said, because, because he was clearly not evident to him, and so he's asked the obvious

question, it's going to be over in the election day because what exactly? And he just said, well, because they can't go on. What do you mean they can't go on? Have you paid any attention at all to history, to their culture, to their religion, to their track record, that they have done, they lasted through an eight year war. They existed for economic sanctions through maximum pressure in your first term from 2018 all in through to the end in January 2021. None of that brought them to their knees. None of this has brought them to their knees. Economic fury or economic outcast, depending on which version you're talking about there, economic fury, the war, the conflict part. None of that stuff caused them to go down. All of these things together have caused tremendous harm to Iran. There's no doubt about that. I think like 3,000 Iranians have been killed. Mostly civilians, some military, lots of their boats have been shot, blown up.

A lot of their military infrastructure has been blown up. But not the things that matter, not their ability to generate and launch ballistic missiles, not their ability to store manufacture and then launch long-range drones. The first person viewed drones, if you draw all kinds of stuff, you can't stop any of that as was displayed last night and would again a whole barrage of missiles were fired into Jordan. As a result of this, you hit them, they hit back. There's no shortage, there's no slowdown. Every time we hit, they hit back. That's been the pattern. It's not stopped even as of this day. Every time we hit, they hit back. Sometimes, they don't wait to be hit. Sometimes they strike first. That's even happened a few times in the last month or so. What do you mean they can't hold out? That something magic is going to happen on November 3rd? That's just absurd to say. That's where our president is right now.

I tell you, he's got some serious cognitive declining issues. I put a lot on X that I talk about some of those things. I talk some on this show. Folks, this is one of them. What he's saying here is irrational. It's not even logical. Even if you don't know a lot of the fundamentals, but you're tuned into our channel, so we're going to give them to you. You can say, hang on, even just from just the observation, what is it that's after six plus months didn't cause them to come to their knees after a 40-day bombing campaign, a two-month blockade campaign, a 13-day bombing campaign, and then another, I don't even know a period of what they call it right now, this new blockade, this new economic bill. That has abruptly now. We've kind of gone back into a tit for tat kind of shots again. That's not, why is it going to be suddenly on November 3rd that that's going to have an impact on them? Well, he says that they're desperate for an end. They can't make an end to this.

They can't hold out any longer, really. So are they running out of water? No, they have all these mountain ranges. I show you all the time. They've got plenty of water. They'll never have any shortage of water. Well, maybe it's food. Maybe they're going to starve to death. You're not going to have food. No, they create most of their own food. They have enough to sustain their entire population of 95 million people because the country is as big as much of Western Europe and they've got as much food as they need to grow to feed their population. Well, maybe it's petroleum there. They don't have enough petroleum. No, they have all the petroleum they need. They're an oil producing country. They can produce and manufacture what they need there. There's been a lot of unhappiness in Tehran here of late because they went up a few pennies in the process of gasoline because it's almost, it's so subsized, it's almost free and it's causing consternation because it went up a few pennies. That's a reality here. But that's a long way from saying that they don't have it and that they're having to ration

it. They're just saying the process is going up a little bit. That's the worst that can happen of all the stuff that we've done on what basis do you say that they can't stand it much longer. The country that survived and lessed through eight years of war in which they lost a hundred hundred thousand dead. I don't even know how many wounded and all of the economic sanctions on top of that. They never buckled. They didn't buckle in your first term when you had maximum pressure. That didn't bring them to their knees. This combination of pressure, economic sanctions and secondary sanctions and military, even that has not brought them to their knees and all the fundamentals and things that they need to survive, they still have. So you may wish that it's going to happen, but to just declare it's going to happen by the election right after the election, he said later on in that same interview, it's going to happen immediately. Well, other than your desire, it's not going to.

Let's just take a look at some of the other things that are going on here. He said all they want is a nuclear weapon. This is the only thing. He said one of the reasons that they're trying to interfere with the midterm elections, he says. And so some of these things are contradictory, even in the state of the phrase of his own words here on this one interview. Because on the one hand, he said the world will be over shortly after the midterm elections because they can't stand it any longer. But then he literally in the same sentences, just a couple sentences later, says, well, they are interested to interfere with our elections. They want to interfere because what they want is that they want nice people that are good to them that are just going to let them have their war. Okay, what is he talking about? This is a midterm election. This is a congressional House and Senate election. This is not for the White House. Congress doesn't set policy for that. Congress doesn't set foreign policy. The White House does. So they may have the control of power of the purse, but that doesn't have anything to

do with the foreign policy setup. That's the executive branch. So even if you get a massive blue wave and he loses both the House and the Senate, now that can give him some flexibility to bring the war to him. That much is true. But in terms of the policies, that's still in the White House. And there's a lot of flexibility, a lot of leverage they have. And he's already shown he doesn't care about the war powers act. He doesn't care about the Constitution. So it's not as though that if the Democrats win, suddenly he's going to start saying, all right, my hands are tied. I guess if they vote to cut off the funding for the war, I'll have no choice but just to obey and actually do it this time. So that's that's weird because he's never paid attention to the rule of law before. I don't know why he would have to hear to the point to where he's claiming they're trying to interfere in order to get the Democrats. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't believe that at all, but he wants you to think that's true so that you're like, oh, well, then I'll never vote for a Democrat for crime out loud. I'll only vote for a public it as my patriotic duty so that I don't help those dastardly

Iranians. I don't know. Maybe that's what he's trying to do. There's no reality to it. That's what you need to understand. He's also said that listen, the Iran inside is looking for somebody passive. There's nobody passive in the echelon of Americans here. It doesn't matter Republican Democrat. This kind of the uniparty which I complain about a lot, they all are about war and there's like Neil cons in both parties. So just go into the Democrats while they may be angry about President Trump and doing violating the law and the Constitution. They certainly could use that as it causes Vellide to impeach him because he has actually violated it. He did violate his oath of office so they could use that. But it's not because if they want to be suddenly peace lovers, unfortunately, the Democratic Party isn't that. They used to be long time ago, but now they're just as hawk is just in a different way with different rationale as the Republicans are. So that's not going to happen here. He also is talking about how somehow it's just going to come to an impact because they

can't make it much longer. But as I've pointed out already, there's every evidence that they can go on indefinitely for this. I've said this before, but folks, your reigns are going to eat grass before they just submit. And they're certainly not going to do it in a couple of months. If they've lasted this long here, they're certainly not going to roll over by November or even after that. The worry that I have and that some have been talking about and even on our show here, others that I've read about and others people that I've talked to in the know is that there is some concern that he may be thinking after the election is over, and I don't have to worry about midterms anymore. And I don't have to worry about 2028 because he's not running. And it's even for his own party. It's way far away that he may feel the constraints lifted and may use nuclear weapons. It sounds crazy to even say out loud, but there's too many people talking about it. In the administration, there's too much contemplation of it. Remember, I've showed you even some people on Fox News, I think Rebecca Heinrichs was one.

Victor Davis Hansen was another. They're like making the case. Nuclear weapons are just another weapon. It's just another tool in the chest. They're lowering the threshold mentally for people to say, actually, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. It would be a terrible idea. It's disaster. We definitely should not do it. And then we also have to think, this is everything is not just our own decision. President Trump doesn't have all the initiative here. The enemy gets a vote. Don't know if you knew that or not. The Iranians definitely do. Now, I've told Jim Inard ago that they had been responding to everything that we have done, all the attacks, tipped for tat, but sometimes that they have gone on the initiative themselves on a lower level. Now, earlier today, I saw a video posted by, not posted by, but interviewing Mohammed Morandi, who we have on our show periodically, who's very tired in with what the Iranian government's doing. He went on a television show and said that the Iranian side has now changed their mentality

and they're now going on the offensive. And they said if there continues to be attacks and there were overnight, so we'll see how much farther before they make good on this, they did overnight. As soon as they were hit, within, I think it was less than an hour. I think it was minutes later that they had this launch, all these attacks on our base in Jordan and on some tankers that were also hit. There's, it's unconferent about what happened in Jordan. We're claiming all 18, or I'm saying 18 of the 20 ballistic missiles were intercepted at the two that weren't laying it out in the middle of the desert, didn't hit anything. So there were no casualties, no destruction, no nothing. That's according to what we're saying. The Iranian side is saying no, there were casualties, these things were hit. The Iranian side also says it's subsequent to that ballistic, I'm sorry, that they fired ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and hit to American warships. All we have is their claim. We don't have any independent confirmation. We don't, any independent confirmation. What did or didn't happen in Jordan, we don't know. But there was confirmation of some of the other tankers that were on our side that were

hit. So that is not helping the, the, the flow of oil, it's not helping to open up the straight of hormones. And we saw today that the process of Brent and WTI both rose up quite a bit. So that is moving in the wrong direction. You talk about heading into November. It's not Iran, you have to worry about folks. It's, it's your own policies that are harming your party. That's not helping because even your own party members are getting sick and tired of these dumb wars that cost them money. Diesel is up, jet fuel is up, gasoline is up. And of course, with those three things are up because everything is transported on that long range hall, trains, ships, everything that transports everything goes up and therefore the price of all the other commodities is going to follow right along behind it. People are getting sick of that. So if you're worried about the midterms, get the hell out of the dam war. Turn that stuff off. That would be a good help.

But listen, one of the other things Morandi said on there was he said that they have now an offensive mentality. And the idea that Iran is going to sit back and just wait until Trump does whatever he wants to do until after the midterms to try to keep things calm a little bit maybe and just to keep it off the headlines so that he doesn't have any problems going in and then wants to, the election is over and all of his domestic pressure is off. And he'll be free to go and attack and Iran is not just going to sit by and do nothing because they are hurting because of this blockade. They are definitely suffering a lot. This maximum pressure, this blockade, all this stuff is hurting Iranians and they're sick of it too. And so they're now put in a position to where they're going to be put into this decision point here. The idea on Trump and his belief and his expectation is they'll be so tired of all this cost that they'll sue for peace. Remember he said on true social a couple of days ago, two or three days ago, we're going

to win the war. Didn't say anything about how to do it but certainly communicating that to the Iranian side. They read it. They said, okay, I guess this is back onto a hot situation. You're talking about winning. You're not even talking about negotiating. Trump said I'm not looking to have a negotiated settlement anymore. We're just looking to win on the battlefield. What is Iran to think? Do they then therefore sue for peace that you told them you're not seeking or should they just sit there and wait like an anticon to you, strangle them until finally the pain does come up that there's some, you know, the country itself actually starts to fall apart. What is more likely do you think that the Iranian side knowing all that you know about them for the last 47 years and what you've known about them in the course of this war here that they would just sit there and allow themselves to be strangled like an anticon and do nothing. Do you think that they may say, no, I'm going to start doing this is what Professor Morandi said on that show this all this morning that they may say, okay, we're going to start taking the initiative and we're going to hit your sanction and we're going to hit you

with economic targets. He said that the Iranian doesn't have the ability to sanction the United States but instead they can go after economic targets in the region. He didn't specify what they were. The Iranian side has mentioned this but did not also mention exactly which targets they're talking about but one can imagine, I mean, it could be American business because there's all kinds of American businesses, banking situations, just other kinds of firms scattered throughout this region here. Are they going to be the targets? Because we're putting Iran in a position to where you either take and use it while you got it or be strangled to death. They're not going to be strangled to death, folks. You push them in that way. They're not going to submit. They're going to strike back and they're going to launch out and they're going to initiate some stuff and they're going to say, you're leaving me in a position where I got nothing to lose. Don't put an enemy in a position where they've got nothing to lose because especially if they have strike capacity and Iran definitely does, they're going to use it and that is

not going to be good for our side. Now I laid out a case here just in the course of this one video here so far. The president Trump is delusional and he's doing things that don't make any sense. They're logically rational and will likely harm us more than they already have. Now if that's not enough to convince you, he said one more thing here about this war and what we can expect on the backside of the election after I guess he thinks the war is won and that's like this magical unicorn is going to be seen in the form of $2 gasoline. Shortly but right after the election because they'd like to have it that way but right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They're going to be tumbling down and we'll get them down. I think for gasoline, we'll get them below $2 a gallon. But not until after the midterm. I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterm. Yeah, a little bit longer than the midterm.

We're up over four right now with the gas, the oil price going up and I'm telling you if Iran makes good on that threat and they start hitting energy infrastructure or our economic terms, that number is only going to go up $2. You're not going to see $2. I doubt in our lifetime, I don't think you would have seen $2. Gasoline if there hadn't even been a war. I just don't think the fundamentals are that with the given the state of global economy and the amount of oil and all that kind of things to go along with that, the price of transporting it, producing it, etc. I doubt you're ever going to see it again but you're definitely not going to see it now. But this is just unicorn fantasy. The president Trump has and I don't know why people still believe anything he says. I get it. You want to believe it because you'd love that to be true but there's no path to get there and that is one of the big problems. Now that's kind of in the middle east. At that same press conference there's one more thing he said which deserves to be commented

upon because it also has to do with our national security and that is he was addressing the situation with Russia. We had a great conversation. He is wanting to make a deal and if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal that would be very nice. What if the hold up? The hold up is two people that hate each other. I think more than anything else is two people that hate each other. I think that because I speak to people that's all I do is speak to people my whole life. I know about deals and these are two people that are tired of fighting. Too many people are dying in that war. 25,000 last month. So boy here we go again. Are you kidding me? This is another kind of unicorn moment. I mean if you had wanted about the $2 gasoline he's got one about here too and a holy cow. Now again he's going to get the word over and you can see even in the context of his

being his asking there. He says I'm going to bring this war to an end and I think we're going to get a deal. I talked to a pleasure to put him today. We had a good deal. Everything should have worked. Oh really? And what's the hold up? Oh well Zelensky. Zelensky doesn't want to because they hate each other. You think they hate each other? I think that's been established pretty well for years. And this is not the first time we're here and that. But then on what basis do you think that we're actually getting close to having any kind of a deal? Now we've been talking a lot at all that the Russians on the actual battlefield we've been showing you recently the activities on the front line on the operational side and the energy side and the production side, the ammunition side, the personnel side. The fact that Ukraine has effectively no air defense against ballistic missiles, Russia's production of those missiles is going higher. There's no basis for Ukraine to hang on. So then why are you saying that we're getting close to an ideal and then turn around and

say, oh yeah, but then they hate each other. Well then that kind of undercuts your position that there's a good deal and a good conversation because upon what basis are you going to do that? And by the way, by the way, President Trump has been talking like this for years. For a long time, it was back in March of 2023. In fact, it was the first time that President Trump said, I'm going to have this thing over within a day in March 2023 when he was then candidate. He went on. You see this is, I don't know, you probably can't read the date there. It's April 25, 2025 is when this CNN headline was popped up there and they listed and threw out that article 53 times. He said that he'd end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. I don't have to recount that when you know it didn't happen. So again, I have to ask the question this time related to this war. Why does anyone take anything he says seriously when he has either lied or just been catastrophically

wrong in his assessments on this topic? For years, for three years, he's been wrong on this. He's been wrong on it every time. He was wrong on their hand war back in 2018 when he got out of the JCP away. Everything he promised is then none of it came to pass all of the bad stuff, piled up even worse than it was feared. Everything he has been talking about is wrong. So no one should believe a word that he says now, especially when there's no fundamentals for this. There's no foundation for it. Russia is on the ascendance in every category that matters. Russia is openly declaring we're looking for diplomacy. We'd love to have it if Zonsky wants to participate, but it's only going to happen on my terms. Or as we showed you earlier today, Sergey Lavrov said, or we're going to settle it on the battlefield. It's just that simple. Those are the only two things. Russia can do that. Russia has to wear with it. There is a path for Russia to go down that to do that.

As opposed to what Trump said, there is no path. There's no logic. There's no leverage. There's no rational path. So we need to stop listening to this kind of stuff and stop getting false hope. Because if he's saying something and you can even draw a plausible line in St. William, if everything falls just right, maybe this could work. There is no such path. There is no such a set of circumstances. He's just telling you things that he wishes were true. He might as well say, I'm going to show you after the midterm elections to unicorns. They're really cool. You're going to love them. You can even go to a petty, whatever he wants to say. That has about as much chance of coming true as if the war is going to be over on our terms after the midterm election or that Russia is going to agree to anything that Zolensky wants and that that war is going to come to an end anytime soon. And unless it's fully on the terms of the Russian side, that's just the reality. That's the harsh reality of the situation, folks.

So when you see stuff like that, make sure you understand the core reality. We are unintimidated and uncompromised to tell you no matter what is being said, it's got to be real on the ground or it's just empty, blathering. In this case, it's not even empty. It's harmful because too many people in America want to believe it. And so they're believing something that can't be done and that keep giving President Trump the benefit of a doubt when he has earned none. That's where we are at now, folks. First say at this, and it's kind of a short day, but a short show here, but this just happened and I just felt that you needed to hear about it today more on this, probably tomorrow, especially if anything happens overnight in the Middle East. All kinds of possibilities there. We'll get it to you first thing in the morning. We'll see you there on the Daniel Davis deep dive.
