Chapter 1: What updates were provided on the Iran War from CENTCOM?
Okay, this is the war room. We're going to continue with President Trump in the East Room, honoring the MLS Miami franchise for winning Major League Soccer. We're going to cut to the CENTCOM brief as soon as that starts. We will take that in its entirety. We've got several of our best analysts and military strategists to comment afterwards. Back to the East Room.
But we're going to have an amazing year. But I just want to thank you so much for the job you've done. You've been I've known you for a while and I've known of you for a long period of time. You are a spectacular man. And please say a few words.
Thank you, Mr. Thank you very much, Mr. President. TO ALL THESE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, SECRETARIES, SO MANY FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY WIFE ALEDA, MY BROTHER JOSE AND HIS WIFE PATTY AND MY WHOLE FAMILY WHO IS HERE TODAY, DAVID BECKHAM, I WANT TO EXPRESS TO YOU WHAT AN EXTREME HONOR
privilege it is to be in the people's house led by you celebrating in the presence of champions winners all because this championship was very very well deserved greatly played and you're looking at one of the best teams on the face of the earth standing standing behind us and this all became possible because we dared to dream Seven years ago, Inter-Miami was nothing but an idea and a dream.
I remember after talking to Commissioner Garber and being awarded a team, we sat in the conference room of our family business in Miami and said to each other, what do we do now? And as the son of a man and woman who left Cuba just seeking freedom in this great country, it has driven us to excellence. And we thought, what can we do to make a difference? What can we do that's special?
And at that time, I told myself what many people thought impossible. I said, we are going to bring the world's greatest player to play at Inter Miami. And that was in 2019. And today, standing before you, you have the world's greatest player here to my right. Over the course of the last two and a half years that he has been here, we've been on an epic run of records, of trophies, of winning.
Because what I've wanted to establish with Inter-Miami is a winning culture. That it be a reflection of our community, of South Florida and Miami, made up of winners, of hardworking men and women, and I want our team to be an embodiment of our fan base and everyone who aspires to a better future and to a better life.
On the back of our jersey, Mr. President, it says, Freedom to Dream, because that's our family moniker and what embodies our team and our aspirations. But that all began many, many years before at the dinner table of our family with my late father, Jorge Mascanosa, and my mother, Irma, who is here today. And I speak now in tribute to our parents' generation.
And I share that with Secretary Marco Rubio of men and women who fled communism, who fled tyranny, who wanted a better life for their boys and their daughters and their sons in the future. And at that table was instilled in us that if you work hard and you sacrifice and you dream, it can be possible. And today, standing before you in Miami is one of the world's biggest clubs.

Chapter 2: How has Operation Epic Fury impacted Iran's military capabilities?
That's the ballistic missiles, the cruise missiles, the UAVs and the drones. The second front is going to be the air war, as Brandon was describing. A third front is the naval war, now largely fought in the Gulf. A fourth front is the ground war, which is heating up. The Kurds, obviously, U.S. special forces, Israeli special forces, perhaps the Azeris will send in a force as well in time.
The fifth front of the war is the proxy war, right, being fought in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah and perhaps broadening out elsewhere in the world. So that attritional dynamic is taking place in each of those areas. And we need to understand that attritional wars are going to be like two heavyweight boxers pounding on one another. Uh, right.
It's, uh, uh, like Muhammad Ali and, and, um, uh, uh, you know, uh, pounding against one of his heavyweight. But that's my point.
I haven't, hang on, but that's the point. I haven't seen in day, what day six, we've have a pretty, uh, substantial target package. We're going down that, that punch list. I just haven't seen the, uh, the response, uh, of the Iranians at any kind of scale or depth. Yes, they've gotten some shots off. They've hit some ore refineries. They've taken out a tanker.
They're hitting, even what Brandon said, what Brandon was talking about were things that happened over the first or second day. We're in day six. And it's not that they don't have certain weapon systems that can hit and particularly deliver a lot of carnage to Tel Aviv.
But it looks like ā for the limited information they give, it looks like we are having some sort of degradation to their systems, which is supposed to be what this whole thing is about. So if you're looking for an off-ramp any time in the next 72 hours, you want to make sure that you can look and say, okay, the nuclear weapons system is gone. Their air defense are gone.
Their capabilities are producing any more missiles are gone. Their fighters are gone. Their Navy's now sunk. You just go through that punch list. It looks to me like CENTCOM because there's two different briefings. Pete's got one. The Secretary of War is more policy and overview. And then CENTCOM are actually that's the combatant commander.
He's kind of telling you what we're doing and how we're doing it, sir.
Right. So that's the key issue, Steve. Are we winning that attritional war? in some areas. Obviously in the Navy we are. Are we winning in the missiles, for example, the drones, the UAVs, or are they husbanding their capabilities for a longer fight, sending a few every day, right?

Chapter 3: What strategies are being employed against Iranian missile capabilities?
Do they have the capabilities? So that's critical. Do they have the capabilities to hurt us significantly, either using their missiles, either using terrorists, either using the other proxies or using closing down the strait and ending energy? So they've got the intent to hurt us again. because they recognize they don't have a future, right?
Their future is you don't want to sell these guys a life insurance policy, right? But do they have the capabilities to hurt us? Hegseth and Admiral Cooper are saying we're successfully attriting their capabilities in the missile realm, in the Navy, which I think is quite clear.
in the air room and uh in five rooms uh in air defenses which is also there's strong evidence that the air defenses are uh suppression of enemy air defense has been successful dr uh thayer we got a bounce where do people go to get your updates on all your observations and analysis for breath there at x and uh bradley theriot uh truth and and uh uh uh on getter as well steve thanks very much

Chapter 4: How is U.S. military presence evolving in the region?
That'll be up online. Hopefully, I don't know, a couple of weeks, as soon as we get all the graphics correct. Birchgold.com, promo code BANNON, end of the dollar empire. Talk to Philip Patrick and the team today as markets, commodity markets, oil markets, stock markets, bond markets, all in turmoil because of geopolitical risk. That's fancy talk for war.
George Papadopoulos, you join us on another aspect. Do you agree with the statement the war is actually not expanding, at least geographically, sir? Hi, Steve. Look, I think what the Secretary of War was absolutely correct on is that Iran's capabilities domestically have been degraded.
But what I disagree with is whether the war has metastasized across various borders and has now involved foreign countries, many of which are critical to this war of attrition, including countries like Cyprus, Azerbaijan, the GCC states.
uh Israel itself uh what Iran has calculated is that there's no way that they will take on the United States 1v1 and actually win so that what they're looking at is the soft underbelly that basically has underwritten the United States economy sea lanes global trade routes and of course how Israel operates in the entire region given its um
its abilities to depend on various oil reserves from countries like Azerbaijan. So what has Iran just done the last 48 hours? They haven't really hit American facilities, but what they are hitting are different nodes in energy pipelines in countries like Georgia, Azerbaijan, and they attempted to do it in Turkey.
Now, what the pipeline that your viewers are looking at does is it provides Israel with 30% of its entire oil consumption. So what has Iran done? They said, we're going to hit Tel Aviv, we're going to hit Jerusalem with our ballistic missiles and our drones, but we also are going to hit the economy. of Israel. That's what this logic was behind hitting this pipeline. Why are they hitting the GCC?
The GCC not long ago pledged over $2 trillion in FDI to the United States economy under the Trump administration. So now the GCC members, seeing their cities hit, their airports hit, and their civilians living in bunkers, are recalibrating whether they can even earmark those trillions of dollars to the U.S.
That's why this has now not only become a war of attrition, but it's also evolved how Iran has approached this war. It's no longer Iran versus the United States, but Iran versus the soft underbelly that has underwritten both Israel's and the United States' economies. Why did... GCC means the Gulf Council. That's bringing in the Gulf, the Emiratis and the Saudis.
Why would they take a risk, something they haven't done before, although they hate each other and they've been mortal enemies for a long time, although there has been a rapprochement between the monarchy in Saudi Arabia and the Persians. Why would they risk... bringing the Gulf Council in here with a tax, particularly on the oil and gas assets.
