What are the latest developments in the Iran conflict and U.S. munitions shortages?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
We have so much to discuss on this episode of the Might Is Touch podcast. You have Iran and Oman entering into a deal together without the United States for Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. This as despite the corporate news and really much of the kind of news ecosystem not reporting on what's actually going down, Iran is still striking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Hormuz, the Houthis have advanced in an area of Yemen controlled by uh Saudi Arabian-backed government there. Um, you had uh other strikes taking place in the Red Sea. Iran is not backing down while the United States runs out of all of its weapons. We've now seen leaks at the highest level of our military to virtually every major news network.

Now, they didn't. Have to leak it for us to know what was really going down, because we've been studying the satellite footage of the various U.S. bases and noting how the Iranian ballistic missile strikes were hitting all of its targets at the U.S. bases, despite Zencom lying and saying that all of the ballistics were intercepted. So it was clear to us either our Pac-3 interceptors, our THADS, our SM230s. Threes and sixes from the Navy destroyers. Either they're not working at all, or we've run out. And we speculated we ran out. So it's clear we've run out of our interceptors and offensive weapons as well, like the attackums, those HIMARS and Trump doing to the Defense Department, what he did to his casinos, bankrupting it and now going and begging for trillions of dollars more from the taxpayers that could be going.

To things I don't know, like healthcare, education, making things more affordable. We'll cover that as well. Katie Fang had a major victory in court today. Federal judge Sullivan ordering Trump's DOJ to appear in court on August 13th and to answer why they have repeatedly violated the court's order, including the court's most recent order in Katie Fang's case under the Epstein Transparency Act for the DOJ to turn over certain categories of documents. Why are you redacting the names of co-conspirators and claiming they are victims? Can you explain how these people are victims? Show us backup. Blanche is like, well, we're just gonna stand on the redactions. And the court was like, that's not what I asked you.
Ben Meiselas 2:27
Why are these co-conspirators being treated as victims? Damn. It, answer it on August 13th. Then you had the court requesting a timeline when the DOJ would produce a redaction log or a privilege log for the millions of documents that are being withheld. And why aren't you producing the FBI notes to those 302 reports regarding the allegations against Donald Trump from an underage girl? Why are you not producing those? Trump denies it. So just show us the notes. And then Blanche is like, well, because the notes are substantially similar to the 302 reports, we're not going to produce the notes. And the judge excoriated Blanche and Trump's DOJ. There's no substantially similar exception in the Epstein Transparency Act.
Ben Meiselas 3:18
I want you to answer for that on all. August thirteenth. Big developments there, right? Um, we'll talk about that. The David Hearn case, officially dismissed, two-time Olympic canoeist who was framed, not just framed, the lied fabricated evidence. I guess he's framed in that it was Trump who did it, right? You know, it's like the Scooby-Doo movie. It turns out it was Donald Trump the whole time, right? Um, fabricated evidence against David Hearn, the Justice Department admitted, the Department of Interior. Gave him fabricated evidence to push Trump's narrative that the reflecting pool was damaged by vandals when it was because of Trump and Trump's um uh crew of uh bad uh uh construction people. Um also numerous other cases uh dismissed as well.
Ben Meiselas 4:04
Um and then the lot of legal updates as well. In Virginia, uh the case that Where a preliminary injunction was granted regarding the J6 anti-weaponization fund to block that. Well, now we've got the plaintiffs amending the c amending their complaint in order to block Trump's tax immunity in that Virginia case.
