Trump Loses Control as War Spreads

of Iran, we just learned that a fourth U.S. service member has been pronounced dead.

“The amount of seriously wounded U.S. service members has climbed to 18, also in response”

to all of the very serious and deeply troubling news coming out of Iran in the Middle East. Donald Trump has issued the following statement to the American people. He said this to the New York Post moments ago, quote, "I don't have the Yips with respect to the boots on the ground," like every president says, "There will be no boots on

the ground. I don't say it. I say, probably don't need them, or if they were necessary, because I don't have the Yips. I don't have the Yips," statement from Donald Trump right there. More is spreading throughout the entire Middle East, Iran is not relenting.

There was a disastrous press conference held this morning by Donald Trump's Defense

Secretary Pete Heggsev, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs' Dan Cain, they talked about a war that could last a very long period of time, weeks, potentially months, also Donald

“Trump's been calling into reporters and saying that he is not ruling out boots on the”

ground. The specific quote from Donald Trump is, "We are going to be escalating this even more soon. It's going to get even less safe. We haven't even hit them, referring to Iran, or, yet, Donald Trump says.

He's also been making a number of other kind of deranged quotes about how he's not ruling out." He said, "Other presidents, they're afraid of putting boots on the ground. I'm not afraid of putting boots on the ground. I'm going to do whatever it is that I'm going to do.

We also learned that there were three F-15s that were struck by Kuwait in a friendly fire incident. U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses, fortunately all of the individuals aboard those airplanes were safe and they did not die. They all were able to eject, but a major friendly fire incident over there in Kuwait.

I want to go through what else is going on. Let's just take this piece by piece of what we are learning this morning. Scentcom posted the following update as of 7.30 a.m. March 2nd for U.S. service members have been killed in action. The fourth service member who was seriously wounded during Iran's initial attack eventually

succumbed to their injuries, 18 American service members seriously wounded so far during this operation. The U.S. military's ongoing strike campaign against Iran, according to a spokesperson from U.S. Central Command, Iranian forces also hit a U.S. flagged tanker, the Stenna imperative in the port of Bahrain today, setting the vessel on fire.

And while all of this was going on, Donald Trump says it's going to get less safe. We haven't started to hit them hard yet. The big wave hasn't even happened yet. The big one is coming soon. Then Donald Trump called up CNN and told Jake Tapper the following as well.

Let's just play this clip for that. And President Trump, I'm just hearing in my ear, just told my colleague Jake Tapper that the big wave is yet to come. So clearly, things are going to be escalating, not de-escalating in the future.

“Well, I think the imminent threat goes back to nuclear weapons.”

Yeah, but I mean, the assessment wasn't, it could take 10 years. Oh. We can see the satellite imagery right here, dated Sunday March 1st, obtained by planet labs and airbus defense in space, hacked up to the fine folks at OS, INT Defender who have done a good job at least compiling all this stuff.

An analyzed by the New York Times, you can see extensive damage that's been done to the US Naval Support Activity Base in Bahrain, the headquarters of the US Navy's fifth fleet right there. Look at the before. Look at the after right here.

Also according to ABC, all US military bases are now under threat condition bravo, which

is basically one of the highest level threats of terroristic activity there.

Ali Lauren Johnny, who is one of the top military officials in Iran, runs their national security, their version of their national security council has put out the following statement this morning. Iran, unlike the United States, has prepared itself for a long war. And here's the statement that was put out by the Islamic regime.

As in the past 300 years, Iran did not start this war, and our brave armed forces have not engaged in any tax-except in defense. We will fiercely defend ourselves and our 6,000 year old civilization, regardless of the

He then posted Trump has betrayed America first to adopt Israel first, and then posted

“Trump's wishful thinking has dragged the whole region into an unnecessary war.”

And now he is rightly worried about more American casualties. It is indeed very sad that he is sacrificing American treasure and blood to advance Netanyahu's illegitimate expansionist ambitions. He also posts, "We will not negotiate with the United States." So folks, it doesn't seem like Iran is going to be relenting or going to be surrendering

or going to be even negotiating with Donald Trump at this point. The same time, we know that the Kremlin, Donald Trump's buddy, Vladimir Putin, says that Russia is in continuous contact with Iran's leadership over what Moscow calls outright

aggression against Tehran and has expressed deep disappointment in how events unfolded.

So as Donald Trump continues to be a Putin bootlicker, you have Putin and China, also citing here with Iran as we knew they would. Pete Higgsith, Secretary of Defense, held a unhinged press conference this morning with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Kane, and he just started doing like Clint Eastwood quotes, it was like very bizarre this press conference.

Let me show you what went down. When he was asked, so is this war going to take, you know, four weeks, six weeks, how long is it going to take Pete Higgsith, he then attacks NBC and says, "That's a typical NBC gotcha question." If it's four weeks, six weeks, it could move up, just stop asking these questions.

You're playing this clip. I heard the question about four weeks is the typical NBC sort of gotcha type question. President Trump has all the latitude in the world to talk about how long it may or may not take four weeks, two weeks, six weeks, it could move up, it could move back, we're going to execute at his command, the objectives we've set out to achieve, and what he

has shown a ability to do that other presidents can't quite seem to have the aperture to do. I mean, Joe Biden didn't even know what he was doing, is to look for opportunities and off-ramps and escalations for the United States, the creates new opportunities to execute what we need on our own timeline.

So you can play games of a four weeks, five weeks, he has all the latitude and I'm glad he does, because there's no better communicator than our president expressing those things. I've been in meetings with the president for the last two and a half days. We know exactly where his head spaces and he will communicate as he should exactly what

“he would like, and we will follow those orders, and I think he, everything he said on that”

is right down the middle, absolutely, yes, right there, yes, sir. Then hexif starts to like do these bizarre one liners, where he's like, this is not so called regime change, but this is changing the regime here, play this clip.

Iran was building powerful missiles and drones to create a conventional shield for their

nuclear blackmail ambitions. Let me say that again, a conventional shield for their nuclear blackmail ambitions. Our bases, our people, our allies, all in their crosshairs, Iran had a conventional gun to our head as they tried to lie their way to a nuclear bomb. It almost worked under Obama and his terrible deal, but not under this president. Turns out the regime who chanted death to America and death to Israel was gifted death

from America and death from Israel. This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change. And the world is better off for it. You know, it's easier than fixing a problem, not having the problem in the first place.

“Your liver is one of those organs that you don't think about until you have to. Supporting”

and daily is one of the small things that can make a huge difference in how you feel overall, and that's where dose comes in. Dose for your liver is a clinically back-to-liver health supplement. This isn't just another capsule or powder. Dose is a liquid supplement. It's taken in a daily two-ounce shot and it tastes like fresh squeezed orange juice. Here's white matters. Your liver is your body's filter. It processes everything you consume

and handles over 500+ daily functions. Energy production, digestion, fat metabolism, vitamin storage. When your liver is overworked, you feel it. Dose helps cleanse the liver of unwanted stressors. They may be slowing your liver down and promotes daily liver function so that your liver can do its job. Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories. And when you take dose daily, you're going to reduce sluggishness, get rid of those midday crashes, support

As we were on the mitis touch account, it would be nice if we had a secretary of defense who knew what he was doing and not just regurgitating quotes from action movies, more from Heggsith right here, where he's asked by reporters a movie. What do you mean by you want our troops to pray or what do you want them to pray

for? What's in your prayer for them? What are you talking about right now? Rather than giving

“us a strategy you want you on prayer, that's what you're saying that we should do. We”

shouldn't ask questions as the American people. It's just prayer and he's like, yeah, it should just be the biblical prayer. That's what my family does, the biblical prayer. You know, all of these war mongers, all of these fascists, they hide behind the Bible, they hide behind God when they don't want to answer actual questions. It's utterly despicable. Play this clip as a military objective. That's one right here.

Thank you, sir. As you've said, there are a large amount of U.S. service members that are in harm's way right now. What is your prayer for them? First of all, my prayer for them is that I do pray for them. My wife prays for them, our family prays for them, our cabinet prays for them. None of this is done on a whim. Having been in their boots, having been

“in their shoes, having been in their flight suits, I think we, I mean, I know we think about”

them with every decision that we make and every recommendation that we make to the President of the United States. Those those those recommendations are made perfectly. And when I pray every day for them and for this mission, I pray simply for the biblical wisdom to see what is right and the courage to do it. It's going to take courage to follow through on this. There's going to be a lot of noise and we pray for that and we hope all

of you do to do as well. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Then the chairman of the joint chiefs, Dan Cain spoke and he said, we should expect a lot more losses of life. This mission is going to take a very long time. This is a major operation, major combat operations, take long time. We're in a war. You're a play this clip. The military objectives that sent com and the joint force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve. And in

some cases will be difficult and greedy work. We expect to take additional losses. And as always,

we will work to minimize U.S. losses. But as the secretary said, this is major combat operations. So then a reporter asks heggsiff, are you concerned about this war spiraling into a longer war? Play this clip, it should. Secretary Heggsett, then I'm one for chairman Cain as well. I understand to your point here that you don't want to broadcast everything for our adversaries to hear. But the American people also want to know what their sending, their men and women to war for.

Is there a concern of this spiraling into a longer war in the month of the chairman when you're done? Did you not hear my remarks? We're ensuring the mission gets accomplished. But we are very clear. As the president has been unlike other presidents about the foolish policies of the past that recklessly pulled us in to things that were not tethered to actual clear objectives. So we know we have plans, we have generals, we have chairman, we have commander set com, commander's admiral

Cooper, who's executing very deliberately to ensure outcomes that I laid out are accomplished.

But we would never in front of a press pool lay out how long that may take. The mission for

“our war fighters, which is what matters to us, is very, very clear and they're executing it right now”

violently. And then he says that rules of engagement are stupid. He says rules of engagement are stupid. Let's play this clip with maximum authorities. No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win and we don't waste time or lives. As the president warned in effort of this scope will include casualties. War is hell and always will be. A great full nation honors the four Americans we have lost thus

far and those injured. The absolute best of America. Donald Trump just issued the following statement to New York Post. Donald Trump says quote, I don't have the Yips with respect to boots on the ground. Like every president says there will be no boots on the ground. I don't say it. I probably don't

his current message to the American people. He doesn't have the Yips. Then Donald Trump said that he

really liked that press conference of Pete Heggsof and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Kane. He says that's right out of the central casting of a Hollywood movie and he said that

“that's what he likes. You know that it's out of central casting. It's a direct quote from Donald”

Trump. You're a play this clip. The military operation he said there is no greater military in the U.S. and he was praising General Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of War Pete Heggsof for the news conference that he just watched, cut and dry as he said central casting and they have a job to do and they're getting it done. More Donald Trump communicating here with state regime media known as Fox. Donald Trump is saying that we need to follow what we

did in Venezuela and do that in Iran. Just use the template, find somebody in the Islamic Republic who wants to take over and then become their allies. So that's the plan right now. Okay, here play this clip. He said there is a plan. He points to Venezuela as a template which means to me that going in they had some sense on the ground of what was coming next. Then they're bringing

“on all their sick offense and the magamovement like Mark Wayne Mullin, maguri public in”

Senator from Oklahoma and here he says it's up to the Iraqi people. The Iraqi people will make their decision. You mean the Iranian people? Okay, it's up to the Iraqi people. They literally conflated Iraq and Iran because this is what they're doing here playing this clip. But it's up to the Iraqi people or I'm sorry, the Iranian people to choose their next leader. It's up to them to rise up and kick this regime out of place if they do not then they will be with a different

leader but the same regime if they choose to get a different leader that we can have a relationship with which we would love to prior to 1979 we had a good relationship with Iran. But if they choose to pick up a leader, we will surround that leader not necessarily with boots on the ground but with assets to make sure that that leader can be protected, rise up and then Iranian people

“will have the opportunity to choose their next leadership. Yeah, that's what we're doing. In contrast,”

here's what Democratic Congress member and Army Ranger Jason Crow had to say play this clip.

Right. And how this goes is elites and leaders in Washington talk tough and bang the war drums and then what happens is working in class kids like me and the people that I fought with and Iraq and Afghanistan actually have to get into planes and helicopters and pick up rifles and do it. Right. So I've had it with that cycle that endless cycle of non-accountability. I mean, look Friday night Donald Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about war and

the cost of war and how hard it's going to be and how we're going to lose troops. Then he literally went behind the curtain and hosted a million dollar a plate, a dinner dance party at Marilago. That tells you everything you need to know. Another international news, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has barred the U.S. from using bases there to strike Iran, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a direct boost in France's nuclear arsenal moments ago announcing the

country will stop revealing the size of its stockpile, but will be greatly increasing its stockpile of nuclear weapons as Erin Banco explains what a remarkable turn in messaging. We went from hearing from Trump and senior officials and lawmakers in recent days that they won freedom for the Iranian people signaling a push for regime change to hearing from the Pentagon that this campaign is actually not about that at all and as Greg Calstrom says, Trump is basically calling up every journalist

than his phone to workshop different timelines and goals for his war. In the past two days, Washington Post, the aim is freedom for the people of Iran, Axios. Maybe we can end it in two or three days, New York Times might be four to five weeks. I have three very good choices who might

take control ABC actually never mind. We killed those choices. He doesn't sound convinced by any of

it. He's throwing spaghetti at the wall ultimately. I suspect he just wants to say he solved the problem that is vexed every American president. There's no clear idea what that looks like, no plan how to get there. Probably what's going to happen is Trump declares victory and just leaves the region in absolute mess. I'm not sure that's even possible at this point as we're seeing just this massive massive retaliation by Iran. I mean, massive strikes. Let me don't get me wrong

by the United States and Israel in Iran, but Iran is striking its neighbors and inflicting a lot of pain as well. And the entire region's becoming engulf Russia's being drawn China's potentially

involved in this war. That's what we got for now. We'll keep you posted throughout the day. Hit

Yeah, exactly. This war is so deep in the world that is just a matter of fact. A game of
