Donald Trump is having a catastrophic Monday morning his attempt at trying to...

The only group of people Iran speaking to right now is Oman over Iran's control over the straight of hormones.

β€œThe United States is flailing Iran's managed foreign ministry spokes person is saying meanwhile in Saudi Arabia you have three refineries that have been struck by the hoothies in the past 24 hours.”

Another major strike by the hoothies and what the hoothies of Yemen who are allied with Iran are focused on are as a disabling the route of pipelines to do an end run around the straight of hormones. So to be clear what's going on right now Iran has a strangle hold over the straight of hormones the hoothies have a strangle hold over the bobble mondob straight and enforcing essentially a full blockade on Saudi tankers and other tankers that they believe are there enemy and at the same time right now disabling the pipelines that do the end run around the straight of hormones.

So as you know the United States ran out of its precision munitions ran out of its interceptors so Donald Trump was forced to basically beg for a ceasefire.

Donald Trump was posting all those deranged AI images last night like we won we beat Iran. We're invading carguer island. I've been all that deranged stuff. I showed you this morning. Then Donald Trump this morning called up is rallies news channel 12. That's like Donald Trump's go to news source right now. He calls up Israeli media and he starts saying things like we're not going to give around that much time. They're begging for a deal all the usual stuff that you're used to him saying I'll just be say exactly what he said Trump to channel 12. That's in Israeli news channel.

The mediating countries asked me not to launch the military operations. I believe the Iranians want to reach a deal. But the room to get a deal is very short. We are in deep talks strong talks very powerful talks Donald Trump says with Iran now and the mediators told me give diplomacy a chance.

β€œBut I don't have much time. We will do very powerful strikes if they don't agree to a deal if they don't agree to my deal. There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose about doing these discussions.”

I'm ready for strong powerful military action if talks with Iran fail. That's what Donald Trump saying. The Iranian foreign ministry spokes person says don't pay attention to him. Don't pay attention to Trump statements to the media. We have no negotiations with the United States. The negotiations we are having which may sometimes be subject to different interpretations are the ones we are holding with Oman focusing on making necessary arrangements regarding the straightive hormones. We will never allow the United States to open up its own route in the straightive hormones. We control it will never give it up. We'll die until you know we're forced to give it up ain't happening. He goes on to say,

β€œI don't know how you think the United States is managing the war. A war that was supposed to lead to Iran's collapse.”

Our collapse within three days forcing Iran to surrender and yet now after five months the United States is stuck in a quagmire of their own making Iran's foreign ministry spokes person says,

This is not war management committing war crimes every once in a while and taking pride in them is merely flailing in a disgrace created by their own hands and tempted by the Zionist regime. Naturally they must pay the price for it now. Netanyahu is heading to the United States right now. He posted this image with his wife and said the following, I am on my way to Washington for a meeting with our friend president of the United States Donald Trump. This is my eighth meeting with him since he was elected president more than any other international leader. It is a great privilege, but it is also a great responsibility. I am setting out on this mission with one clear goal to ensure the security,

and security strength and future of our dear state Israel Donald Trump's plan Israel first over the United States of America as the people here are suffering. And the fact that he's taken eight visits to the United States should also be a massive red flag while the United States is now in never ending wars in the Middle East. Let's take a look at what's going on right now. Now you know Saudi Arabia first attacked the airport in sauna, which is the Houthi controlled area and Yemen that was like a little bit more than a week ago. You remember that.

So the Houthi said, OK, you attacked the airport in sauna.

You want to do a deal. They want to do a deal. When the Houthi say they're going to unleash hell and they've unleashed hell. OK, and they've destroyed multiple Saudi refineries and they've started with this a few days back remember we've been covering that. We've been showing you that sentinel satellite footage from China where no one else was really focused on this in corporate news and talking about what was really going on in some international news was I want to get credit, but really here in the United States not the case.

β€œLet's take a look at what's going on right now. Show the be roll of this. A massive column of smoke is rising from Saudi aromcomes obquake oil processing facility.”

The world's largest and the eastern hub of Saudi Arabia's east west pipeline with multiple impacts in the past few hours. Now Saudi Arabia lied and they claimed that we struck down all these drones that they said they were coming from Iraq. They were coming from Yemen and the Houthis were sending it and you did not strike them down. OK, maybe you struck a few down, but they had direct hits into the aromcomes facilities and this is a massive massive loss for Saudi Arabia.

β€œWith both ends now of the east west pipeline damaged and burning from these Houthis strikes you have the obquake facility today in the east. You had the young boo port infrastructure remember the on boo port.”

Another day that was hit by the houthis Saudi Arabia's Hormuz bypass export strategy has now been cut and destroyed. Do you see what Iran has done very surgically they plan this level of climbing the escalation ladder if the United States would do this. So control the straight of Hormuz Iran control Bobbel Mondab straight Red Sea the Houthis part of the access of resistance and now Saudi Arabia UAE. I mean, so UAE thinks it's going to use food Jarrah to try to do end run around Saudi Arabia thinks it's going to construct these pipelines to do end run around these straight of Hormuz and the Bobbel Mondab and you hear these like propaganda so called oil experts manipulating the markets.

β€œIran doesn't have cards because over the next few years these Arab nations will build pipelines to go around the straight of Hormuz. Well, that will take years.”

Okay, years may be a decade, but in any event they're not because the Houthis and Iran are going to constantly strike it. You think that there's going to let that happen while you continue to engage in these never ending wars again. So what do you think is going to happen? Take a look right here of the satellite imagery from today showing large fires a heavy smoke plume and visible burn scars at the Saudi Arab coab quack facility the kingdom's largest crude processing plant Saudi Arabia says it's air defense intercepted these drones from Iraq. They just like make stuff up and Saudi Arabia.

I mean, it's very similar to, you know, that that's the way we hear send come lie about everything is what we hear from these Arab nations now as well. We we destroyed all of the drones.

There may have been some residue that fell there may have been some debris that felt like now he talking about. Take a look right here another angle of Saudi Arab co's obcac refinery struck by drones. You'll see it right here. Now, this is the world's largest crude oil stabilization plant processing five to seven percent of global oil supply destroyed. Now, just take a look at five to seven percent of the global oil supply boom and what and our corporate news is like we're we're having peace talks things are progressing the way we want Donald Trump says that Iran's begging for a deal and that one may happen soon.

Look at these sentinel to imagery capture today confirming the extensive fires and possible damage clearly visible right here from the abquick oil facility. Also new strikes from Yemen hitting the jazan Saudi Arabian oil facility Saudi Iran co's jazan oil refinery still burning also more than two days after being struck by houthi ballistic missiles you could see it here in the sentinel to imagery. And Chinese Beijing's three a satellite imagery capturing the jazan oil refinery yesterday still burning three days after the strikes and then it was hit again today and there were more refinery storage tanks that were hit as well today.

That's what it looks like also show you some more sentinel to imagery shown those burn scars over here at the abquick oil facility also more US mq9 repers being struck down these reconnaissance strike drones being shot down in Iraq right now you could see that you could see that over there for yourself.

I'll zoom in on what's happening in Russia right now where there was a major ...

This is a historic stage difficult and fateful for Russia today. This is understood not only by the deputies of the state duma not only the deputies of the state duma members of the Russian government the presidential administration. But every ordinary citizen of Russia understands it as well. We are going through a period of struggle and members of parliament represent their voters that is they represent the people of Russia. And I'm showing you that as well because I'm letting you know Putin has no desire to resolve the war with Ukraine to get a ceasefire anytime soon.

β€œXi Jinping Kim Jong-un Iran they see the United States security umbrella collapsing in the Middle East.”

They see the United States running out of its interceptors and they see a great deal of vulnerability right now amongst anyone who was allied with the United States.

These other powers see the weakness that Donald Trump shows that our corporate news in the United States tries to hide, but it is very obvious to them what is going on right now. And so I want to cue you in on what's happening across the world right now because this is a dire time, especially with wars going on around the world with America being so utterly weak right now.

You hear that? That's the sound of feeling good. I've been reaching for Ali pop a lot lately because it gives you that classic soda taste, but it's the feel good soda.

And I love that they've refreshed the look of their six gram fiber line. It's that same Ali pop I already loved full of flavor and digestive health support just what they fresh new look. They're really shows off the feel good soda inside. I have the classic grape right here, which I have to say is definitely one of my favorites. What makes it different. Ali pop is high fiber has less sugar than traditional soda and it's made with real ingredients and a thoughtful formulation, including a functional ingredient blend that supports digestive health.

β€œThis simple swaps that just makes you feel a little better about what you're drinking. If you want to give it a try, here is a great deal for you by any two cans of Ali pop in store and they will pay you back for one.”

Single cans of any flavor at any retailer just head to drink. Ali pop dot com slash mightest to clip your coupon. That's drink. Ali pop a dot com slash mightest. You can find Ali pop in the soda aisle and with the chilled beverages at thousands of retailers nationwide, including a target and Walmart. At the same time that Netanyahu is taking this trip to the United States Israel's national security minister Ben Gavier says the solution in Gaza is not to bring peace, not to bring in a peace council.

There isn't even a basis of discussing any kind of dialogue in my vision. I see neighborhoods in Gaza, neighborhoods for Israeli police Israeli soldiers and Israeli military officers. Also, we're learning that from a report from CNN. We tell you this week's ago that the actual casual team number from this catastrophic war in Iran 600 according to CNN 600 of our service members injured 18 killed in action, although the Trump regime is now trying to reclassify the killed in action and injured as part of a new special operation.

β€œNot epic theory, a new special operation sound familiar right there and while Donald, by the way, I think the numbers three to five X that I think we're talking about thousands and thousands of casualties injuries that are being covered up.”

I believe it is traumatic brain injuries, very serious injuries I believe are being covered up by the Trump regime. Donald Trump is posting attacks on the Senate majority leader this morning. Jon Thun should not allow the United States Senate to leave town until it passes the Save America Act or far better still terminates the filibuster where the Republicans can quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated Save America Act. The budget and the ever-looming debt ceiling disaster, 1929 exclamation point. I want to point out two things. First off, what a weird, perverted human being to refer to the Save America Act as deep throated Save America Act, I mean this guy is like a deranged lunatic, but also do you notice what he says there.

The ever-looming debt ceiling disaster, 1929, talking about the Great Depress...

Another great depression. So what he sets up for is what he's done his entire life. He's now getting ready to find his next Fauci, who's he going to blame the economic catastrophe on, 1929, and he'll say, we were so close to prosperity, it was right there and reach all we needed was abolish the filibuster, pass the Save America Act, and everything I dreamed about everything I promised you would have been delivered. But now 1929 happened because of Congress and the Senate, I was right about everything. They were wrong. That's his fraud scheme. He's done it his whole damn life. He's bankrupted everything. He's positioning right now the blame as we fall deeper deeper into economic catastrophe pay very close attention to what he is doing right now.

β€œAnd then he's got his magasic offense out there going on their propaganda networks like Newsmax and Fox, and so on Newsmax you got Magra Republican Jack Bergman.”

What do you think stands and where do you think we stand in terms of the war and Iran? And this Magra Republicans like, well, you know, that's a multi-thousand-year-old question. I'm going to blame Jimmy Carter. The United States has not been around thousands of years. The Iranian civilization has so you don't need to say that. And you're going to blame Jimmy Carter. Why don't you blame the idiot in office? Why don't you blame the psychotic idiot in office who's out there posting deranged AI images of himself bombing cargile and engaged in war crimes?

β€œWhile constantly saying I'm going to open the gates of hell running out of our interceptors and then saying we're so close to making a why don't you deranged that why don't you go after that deranged psychotic individual here play this quote.”

So three straight days the United States pauses attacks are Iran naval blockade remains in full force holding strong but behind closed doors. It's believed diplomatic channels are still ongoing that diplomats hope to bring the two sides back to the table. Where do you think things stand right now in terms of the war with Iran? Boy, that's a multi-thousand-year-old question. He really is. My first dealing is with Iran and from Iran literally started in the mid-60s when my best friend is a senior in high school was an Iranian exchange student whose family was very prosperous as Iran was before 1979 and they're not going to blame Jimmy Carter as a president.

β€œBut the bottom line is he set that ball rolling when he allowed the radicalist loudness to take over.”

And then you've got this mega Republican Congress member Fallen saying well I understand the Americans are suffering right now in affordability is a big issue, but that's Joe Biden's fault. That's Joe Biden. All the Americans know that it's Biden's fault here. Let's play this clip. No, and again I really quick it's about the messaging and about affordability health care housing poll laughter poll congressman shows us that's where Americans are being hurt in the pocketbook the most and then on top of that you've got the energy shock real quick final thought.

Sure Joe Biden and Democrats did really did that you were talking about affordability that takes a couple of years to really kick in and they spent trillions of dollars really wasted trillions of dollars that caused massive really it's going to blame everything on Biden forever. These people are so damn weak, so damn pathetic huh, mega Republican Pat Fallen. What concerns me about the IRGC is that they're committed to watching their country disintegrate and rule from the ashes. Oh, it seems like you referred to you and Donald Trump and the maga and what you're doing to the United States play this clip and what concerns me is the IRGC seems to be absolutely committed to watching their country disintegrate and not caring at all.

So long as they get to rule over the ashes, so they're trying to wait us out get past them at terms and their view hopefully the Democrats will take over and cause

and then Trump, you know, a domestic issue and domestic problems so we can't continue to prosecute the war. And you've got this mega Republican this morning, Michael Rooley and Michael Rooley's all like, you know, we feel we're very good positioned right now for the election because we're going against the communists the mom the many mom Donnies and the communists here play this clip is I think affordability is always going to be the key you know in a higher we're seeing eggs, you know under a dollar we're seeing a bread hovering around a dollar.

You know, gas is still in the $3 range. It's going to matter where you know, we're in the pocket book, but you know, I'm trying to help Bernie Marino and I are trying to help get John Houston the big promise for me elected. So we're campaigning like a badger out there and we're seeing that the people, especially our base they're very motivated by this communist movement. I think the Democrats had a bad play book you saw Nancy Pelosi last week and saying let's have this debate about communism and twenty twenty seven.

The people are going to be motivated you know, they were counting on the Trum...

I think it's going to motivate the base and maybe we'll divide their base.

Well, it's speaking of mom Donnie, you know, he's always asked now can you explain your criticism of Netanyahu and what would you think it's dividing the people of New York?

It's like I'm the mayor of New York. I'm trying to make life more affordable for people of New York.

β€œThat's what I'm fighting for every day and saying Netanyahu is a war criminal. That's an objective fact. There's a war in for his arrest from the ICC. It's an objective damn fact.”

You're playing this clip. Do you take those concerns too hard and what is your plan to bring down those temperatures? So I think to your point. When I make criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu, they are criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even frankly personal assessments. They were objective facts. And my responsibility as a New Yorker and as a mayor of this city is a responsibility to take care of each and every person who calls the city their home.

And that is not based upon whether or not they agree with me how they feel about me. My job is to make sure that they are safe, that they are thriving and they continue to call this city home.

And that's always going to be my North Star on how we can do that.

Because this is an incredible city and it's a city where everyone needs to know that they're belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor. And they're more for a mom Donnie over here when they, you know, the way they, the way the corporate news and the establishment tries to attack this guy. They're like, you know, should you think it's right for you to be there at the 9/11 Memorial? And mom Donnie's like, I'm going to be there with the survivors, with the people who lost loved ones, the first responders.

And I stand in solidarity, what, what are you talking about here playing this clip? A number of people who are survivors of 9/11 are calling on you not to go to 9/11 Memorial services. I wonder how you feel about the fact that they're trying to keep you away. I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year's 9/11 commemoration.

β€œReaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day felt by all of us who call this city home and frankly by all of us who call this country home.”
