Trump Panics over Sneak Attack in War

18 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What recent developments have occurred in Iran's missile attacks?

8.823 - 38.593

what you just saw right there is actual footage of iran launching more ballistic missiles at surrounding arab nations particularly where there are american military bases and financial interests this is the 61st wave of iranian ballistic missile strikes and the iranian ballistic missiles are evolving as well they're used in these cluster munitions which we've been seeing over the past few weeks and

38.573 - 56.903

particularly escalating the use of these cluster munitions we saw it just last night we'll show you visuals here in dubai over the dubai airport over financial areas in dubai and other areas in the united arab emirates we're also seeing these cluster munitions

0

56.883 - 84.021

being used in tel aviv they're harder to hit with the thad systems and the patriot systems because the clusters spread out and that also forces the that and the patriots to expend more munitions to try to strike it down which means you're spending millions and millions of dollars in interceptors to strike down much cheaper weapons that are being used by iran so contrary

84.001 - 105.603

to what Donald Trump is saying where he goes, we've destroyed all their ballistic missiles. We've destroyed them. They're totally obliterated. Everything's been 100% decimated. We basically won this war in 48 hours. We won. Now we're just kind of hanging out and we're having fun, right? That's what Trump's saying. We may bomb them more for fun because I like it.

105.643 - 126.879

Trump goes, I may just take Cuba while I'm at it. Last night, he was posting statehood. He wants Venezuela to be part of the United States. That's something he keeps on repeating over and over again. While he's saying all of this, the United States right now is now stuck in this never-ending quagmire in Iran right now.

126.919 - 152.179

We have 13 service members dead, 200 injured, a lot of service members seriously injured seriously injured the USS Gerald Ford one of the two main aircraft carriers that are right there by Iran now has to go into a port in Greece because these ships were not meant to be out there this long I mean it's almost been on deployment for about a year

152.159 - 174.88

We know there was a fire on March 12th, and we now learn this fire is much worse than what the media and what was previously being reported by the Trump regime. Remember when we reported it back on March 12th, and we go, this sounds pretty, pretty bad. There was like a fire that took place in the laundry room. That's what they're saying. They're saying it wasn't like enemy fire.

174.9 - 196.545

It just happened in the laundry room. But these things tend to happen if you have an aircraft carrier out there for so long. But the result of it is, Lots of people's clothing was burned. The place where the sailors sleep would burn. They have to like sleep on the floor right now. They don't have change of clothes. The logistics is all screwed up. Morale is at like an all-time low.

196.605 - 219.676

Do you remember when we were reporting on the morale of the Navy members who were on this ship? Like two months ago, three months ago, we were giving you reports on the morale. We're seeing that take place right now. And I think morale is particularly low as well within the Trump regime as Donald Trump just keeps on lying about this war. No one even understands what the hell he's saying.

Chapter 2: How are Iran's new weapons affecting military strategies?

228.789 - 256.433

Let me just show you some of the visuals here again. You'll see these ballistic missile attacks from Iran heading toward the UAE. You'll see over a dozen interceptor missiles earlier from the skies of Dubai trying to strike some of these drones and some of these cluster munitions that are being used by Iran. Take a look right here over central Israel. You'll see munitions from a cluster warhead.

0

256.413 - 284.479

on Iranian medium-range ballistic missiles. You'll see over here more cluster munitions raining down following these interceptors being used by Israel. And Donald Trump just goes, statehood, state, I mean, it looks like an absolute lunatic. Meanwhile, you have the foreign minister of Iran, foreign minister, Araghchi, posting articles from the United States media.

0

284.459 - 308.07

or just direct resignation letters from Trump top officials who are resigning over this war. I mean, you have Foreign Minister Arachi of Iran posting the resignation letter of ultra-MAGA right-wing extremist Joseph Kent, a Gold Star husband. His wife was killed in Syria from a terrorist attack.

0

308.05 - 332.556

In 2019, he was the director of National Counterterrorism Center, meaning he was Tulsi Gabbard's number two. And he said, this is an unlawful war. We were pulled into this war in Iran because of Netanyahu and Israel. I want no part of it. I am resigning. Then the Trump regime attacked Kent and said, he's a leaker. He's a bad guy. He's disloyal. This guy's as ultra mega as you get.

0

332.857 - 361.598

One of the other articles that Foreign Minister Araghchi is posting is this article about Britain's National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell. And Powell has been telling people that, you know, he attended the final United States-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva in late February. And he judged Tehran's proposal at that Friday mediation that was presided over by the foreign minister of Oman.

362.019 - 390.2

He described it as significant enough to prevent a rush to war. This is what sources are telling The Guardian. He believed that progress had been made and described the offer by Iran as surprising. Like surprisingly, lots of momentum was being made on the negotiations. And so why would we rush into war? And again, this is Britain's national security advisor, Jonathan Powell, saying this.

390.561 - 413.082

We know the foreign minister of Oman has been saying this. And one of the things that Britain's national security advisor was concerned about and why he had to be in the room and why he brought others is that they just thought that basically Kushner, It was there on the American America's behalf. And Witkoff were basically just doing whatever Netanyahu wanted.

413.142 - 430.11

And so they were there just to try to monitor what was happening. And they're saying we were shocked that why would the Trump regime rush into this war unless they were influenced and pushed into it by Netanyahu? I mean, that's what the UK is saying. Remember yesterday as Donald Trump had the Taoiseach speech?

430.09 - 448.234

From Ireland's like their prime minister and Donald Trump kept on saying he was being asked questions by the Irish press about the president of Ireland, female president, who says that what Donald Trump's been doing in Iran and elsewhere, war crimes, unlawful Donald Trump's. I don't like what he's saying.

Chapter 3: What is the current status of U.S. military personnel in the region?

519.783 - 544.866

Then later he was referring to this disastrous war in Iran as an excursion. And the way he described it, he's like, look, we were doing so good, so good. The Dow was 50,000 and everything was going so good. So I just asked Susie Wiles, I said, Susie, I want to do this excursion in Iran. Can I do an excursion? And Susie Wiles, my chief of staff said, yeah, do the excursion. So I did an excursion.

0

544.906 - 568.666

That's what this is. You think this is a game, Donald? You think this is a fricking game? There are 13 service members who have died. 200 have been injured. We have one of the biggest oil shocks, no, the biggest oil shock in the history of the world. You're destroying the economy. But nice of you to want an excursion, Donald. Here, play this clip. Doing better.

0

568.686 - 592.212

We had to do a little excursion, if you don't mind. A little excursion to take care of nuclear weaponry in the hands of maniacs. But other than that, in a couple of weeks, and won't be much longer, it's moving along fast. We're way ahead of schedule. Did you know that, Mr. Speaker? I'm trying to... And then you have Benjamin Netanyahu telling the people of Iran, go out and celebrate.

0

592.312 - 620.288

We're watching. Go out and celebrate. Who is directing this? You truly think that if the Iranians see Netanyahu, that they're going to be like, Netanyahu's telling us to celebrate. You think that the Iranians want Trump and Netanyahu as their leaders? What are you doing? If you're going to do propaganda, aren't you going to at least try to think through it a little bit?

0

620.449 - 642.043

I mean, this is utterly disastrous and catastrophic and stupid. And the behavior by this Trump regime and Netanyahu is so despicable at every level. But here's what they're saying. Go out and party, Iran. Go out and party, like celebrate. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. I'm here with Israel's defense minister.

642.023 - 667.942

our chief of staff, the head of the Mossad, the chief of Air Force, our senior commanders. In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny. Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the grounds, in the crossroads, in the city squares. This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the festival of fire.

667.962 - 686.71

So celebrate. And Happy Nowruz. We're watching from above. As Gregory Brew says, I'm not sure what Israel's strategy is beyond just killing who's ever in charge until the U.S. tells them to stop. You know, because yesterday, the Israelis killed Ali Larrajani.

687.15 - 713.47

He's the National Security Council advisor to Iran, one of their top, you know, one of their top leaders in Iran, who is actually, don't get me wrong, Larrajani, bad, bad guy, but in the group of really bad people. He was someone who was viewed as you could talk to, you can negotiate with, was a rational actor who can bring different factions of Iran together.

713.851 - 731.881

So when you killed Larry Johnny, by the way, one of the things that Israel and the United States were thinking before Trump launched this war against Iran was that Larry Johnny could be the guy who could potentially take over Iran. That was gonna be like their Delcy Rodriguez. That was like their idea. So you kill that guy, you kill all of them.

Chapter 4: How is Trump's rhetoric impacting the perception of the war?

752.588 - 775.349

Russia has been providing improved drone technology to Iran in order to aid in their targeting of US forces in the region. Details include, in addition to drone technology, Russia has also been expanding its intel sharing with Iran. Russia is engaging in military cooperation with Iran. Russia is trying to keep its closest Middle Eastern partner in the fight against the US.

0

775.43 - 799.403

Russia is providing satellite imagery to Iranian forces Russia's influence in the Iran war is reportedly growing. Russia making a huge amount of money on this because the price of oil goes up. Trump removed the sanctions against Russian oil. So Russia is making a killing literally and figuratively from the U.S. right now based on Donald Trump's behavior.

0

799.552 - 821.121

And Russia wants to keep, Russia wants to destroy the United States and also distract everybody away to not focus on Ukraine. So for Russia, this is the biggest one. This is a gift handed from Donald Trump right now. And just think about it. Russia's out there helping Iran kill Americans and Donald Trump responds by removing sanctions against Russia for Russian oil.

0

821.101 - 836.123

when no other country in the G7 wanted to do that other than traitorous, treasonous Donald Trump. And I call him a traitor and treasonous in my opinion, because in my opinion, you got to call out things with moral clarity. Also, just think about all

0

836.103 - 863.713

prices are going up it's not just the oil that's stuck in the straight of hormuz what about the fertilizer that's stuck there what about all the other food and produce that's stuck there think about all the prices that are going up right now u.s coffee prices surging at a record pace the average price of ground roast coffee is up to a record 9.46 per round in february coffee prices jumped

863.693 - 902.308

30.5% year over year. Let me repeat that stat. In February, coffee prices jumped 30.5% year over year. How about ground beef? Over the same period, ground beef prices have risen 73% to $6.74 per pound. Furthermore, steak prices have soared 66%. Overall, the food at home category price level is up 31% while food away from home is up 36% as a result of Donald Trump and his despicable regime.

902.688 - 917.57

And when Donald Trump's national economic advisor was asked about this, he was like, well, you know, We don't think the war is going to actually hurt the American economy. It's just going to hurt the people. You're saying it's not going to hurt the American economy. It's going to hurt the people.

918.151 - 937.479

Oh, so you mean your right wing oligarch billionaires are going to be OK, but the people are the ones getting screwed. That what you mean? Here, play this clip of Kevin Hassett. Let's play it. But the fact is that the U.S. economy is fundamentally sound and that if it were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all.

937.88 - 949.455

It would hurt consumers and we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's really the last of our concerns right now because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule.

Chapter 5: What role is Russia playing in the conflict with Iran?

1064.779 - 1083.579

Let's play it. Any longer than he has to, and I don't think it's going to be much longer. No, we're not going to invade Iran. There's no reason to. We're going to destroy their ability to hurt us, have a nuclear weapon, build missiles to hit America, and terrorize the region. Karagalan, 90% of their income comes from oil and gas revenue.

0

1083.599 - 1109.43

100% of that revenue generating capability is on a single island. Mr. President, take Karagalan. This war is over. All right, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina. And then Lindsey Graham with war footage playing next to him is saying, can you imagine what would happen if Kamala Harris was in office? Can you just imagine what would have happened if Kamala was in office? Here, play this clip.

0

1109.41 - 1133.639

Could kill millions of people. President Trump, you're the right man at the right time. God bless you for taking decisive action. And can you imagine what the world would be like if Kamala Harris had won? So we got to get this right, and we're very close to getting it right. Anyway, there you have it, everybody. Hit subscribe.
