Trump Has A Bigger Problem Than Iran

[00:00:01]Guys, I think Donald Trump may have just pulled off something honestly I didn't think was possible. He may have managed to piss off literally everybody. And that's not easy, man. He He's pissed off the anti-war crowd, the interventionist crowd.

[00:00:22]Iran is mad. Israel's mad. Laura Loomer and Ben Shapiro are mad. Mark Lean, who's been praising Donald Trump, has now said, "This would have been a thousand times worse in the deal before we went into Iran." Mark Levan laments the humiliating details of taunts JD Vance and offends Netanyahu. Levan lobbyed Trump to reject the deal and launches war, but he takes zero responsibility.

[00:00:48]All of them are mad, right?

[00:00:51]MAGA and the Patriots are now fighting each other. A and and now some are running around trying to explain why this is a victory but looks more like a loss. Brother, when both teams are are throwing batteries at the referee, the referee probably pro probably screwed up. So, let's talk about it because what we're watching right now is one of the strangest political situations that I've really seen in years.

[00:01:20]For months now, we were told there was a plan. There was always a plan. We had JD Vance up there. He Seth up there, Marco Rubio, there's a plan. Trust the president. Karen Le's up there. Trust the president. He knows what he's doing.

[00:01:34]Trust the process. The the influence online are telling us it's 40 chess, man. Trust the negotiations. Qanons are saying, "Hold fast, you panickans.

[00:01:47]You need to [ __ ] the deal." I've heard that number comments in my read the art of the deal. You don't trust trust trust and and at some point I think some people would trust a raccoon driving a forklift through Walmart and and now here we are talks have fallen apart. Negotiations suspended. Okay. The RRGC has now begun uh blockade again. uh said that the peace deals are cancelled and they're they're blocking the straight of Hormuz again, which is awesome. Iran declares the straight Hormuz closed.

[00:02:27]It was uh literally only open for a few hours and America's done sent its blockade away. I mean, which was totally unnecessary to begin with, right?

[00:02:37]But right now we have everybody blaming everybody else. And the same people who were celebrating a few days ago are now trying to explain why everything looks like a clown show. Outstanding.

[00:02:49]Absolutely outstanding. I think Tucker Carlson has said it best. What we're seeing is in 100 days Iran defeated the United States and and basically it's the the end of America. It really looks to be that way. But you probably never imagined that the end of American Empire would come in a little over a 100 day conflict with a little rogue state on the Persian Gulf that has the 34th largest economy in the world, a country called Iran, which generations of Americans have been raised to believe is crazy and dangerous, but basically irrelevant and certainly not civilized and in no way capable of affecting America's place in the global hierarchy.

[00:03:34]You just couldn't imagine that would happen. But you probably, >> you know, trucker patriot 1776 thought that Iranians were cave dwellers. He did. You know what this reminds me of?

[00:03:47]It reminds me of like a guy who burns down his house because he wants a new kitchen. Then he stands in the driveway explaining technically how the fire was part of the renovation process. Brother, the house is is gone. I I I I I don't care what the B blueprint says.

[00:04:09]The the part I find fascinating, though, is Trump's biggest political threat isn't the Democrats.

[00:04:16]The Democrats were not ever voting for him anyway.

[00:04:20]The real danger was disappointing his own people because the people who helped him put him back into office weren't looking for another Middle East adventure and skyrocketing gas prices. They weren't looking for uh another endless foreign policy mess.

[00:04:39]They weren't looking for another situation where America gets dragged into conflicts halfway around the world while cities back home look some like somebody gave the budget committee a crackpipe.

[00:04:52]We wanted America first. Man, this would have been the greatest comeback story in the history of the world. It would have.

[00:05:00]The man was facing indictments.

[00:05:03]There was a false flag attempt and maybe a WWE on his ear and this would have made the greatest comeback store in history. But this is the biggest fumble that you can make.

[00:05:18]That's what we voted for. Whether you agree with us or not, that's what we thought or we believed we were getting.

[00:05:30]And now most of us right we're the looking at this situation and asking one simp one simple question. What was the point?

[00:05:44]What was the point?

[00:05:47]Now on the other side you got people arguing the exact opposite.

[00:05:52]They say the administration didn't go far enough, didn't push hard enough, didn't finish a job, did not apply enough pressure. So, let's take inventory.

[00:06:06]The America first people are angry.

[00:06:09]The Israel first people are angry.

[00:06:13]His biggest donor, Miriam Adlesen, the real MAGA, by the way, MAGA stands for M. Miriam Adlesen governs America.

[00:06:22]She has thrown Trump under the bus.

[00:06:27]You could have been the greatest president of all. Mr. President, you have gravely armed the human harmed the human interest of the enlightened world. And you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. In a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical.

[00:06:52]Wow.

[00:06:55]Now she she she owns that paper, by the way.

[00:07:00]Long owned by the Adles, published an article calling Trump a traitor, an embarrassment, a figure, and that he deserved the ridicule and hate that he got. Wow.

[00:07:14]Incredible.

[00:07:16]See, the problem is when you become a megalomaniac and you believe that people worship you.

[00:07:23]The thing is is that the problem lies in that they probably just believe in the same things that you're saying.

[00:07:32]It doesn't mean you can go rogue and do whatever you want. Okay? Trump, in my opinion, was chasing ego. Okay? He's also chasing self-enrichment.

[00:07:44]He's setting up business deals with Qatar. And it's funny, Laura Limmer says Tucker Carlson takes money from Qatar.

[00:07:51]Literally, the Trumps, Don Senior Jr.

[00:07:55]and Eric are getting business deals with the Saudis. Qatar got a jet from Qar like real talking about taking Qatari money. So self-enrichment and also the fact is is that ego thinking that you can pretty much do whatever and and whenever uh Marjorie Taylor Green abandoned ship he said I am MAGA what I say is MAGA.

[00:08:20]So that ego has led down to this road where now everyone hates you because you were trying to appease one group to get elected and once you got elected then you started trying to appease the donors. probably told the donors, "Look, I'm just going to go ahead and say these things to get voted in. Once they get voted in, then I'm going to appease you." But then it got the the sad thing that happened was that midterms are coming and if he loses, he's probably getting impeached. War crimes. I mean, and I'm talking bad stuff. Little girls were killed.

[00:08:55]And so, you can't lose the midterm. So, now we got to reign back. We got to reign back.

[00:09:03]And now you just alienated yourself to everybody. That's the problem. When you're you're when you're not a man of conviction and you don't stand on principles. That's the problem. Because you can float the way the wind blows and eventually you're going to piss off some people. Unfortunately, piss off people like you and us and we just complain about it. We may vote different the next election. People like Miriam Adlesen that have a lot of money, they have a lot of resources, and they can make a lot of things happen to you that the finger will never get pointed back to them.

[00:09:46]So, a lot of times, that's why it's just good to do what you say and say what you do.

[00:09:53]Easy way to live your life. You know, the the the best piece of advice I can give you is long as you do right, you never feel wrong.

[00:10:05]It's that simple. Now, JD Vance took and uh tried to basically calm down the uh Israelis that that Netanyahu is fuming.

[00:10:21]That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had with him, but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me. What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you have seen people within BB's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked the president of the United States. And I guess my message to them would be twofold. Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time and he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.

[00:11:05]And the second message I would give to some of those cabinet members, BB to his credit has not gone down this path, but to some of these cabinet members in Israel who are attacking the president of the United States, the other thing that I would say is that over the last 3 months, twothirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.

[00:11:29]>> See, that's a problem. Why? Why is that?

[00:11:32]Why is all of our tax dollars doing that? You know, another thing is why is JD Vance wear so much makeup?

[00:11:39]I mean, really, you're a man, dude.

[00:11:41]You're a man. Who cares? Who cares you have blemishes on camera, bro?

[00:11:47]Donald Trump wears a lot of makeup, too.

[00:11:48]It's weird, dude. I just think it's weird, you know? I mean, you're not an actor for a film. like just he JD was on the view the other day, man, and he had just like more cake on his face than all the girls from the View combined.

[00:12:04]So, sorry I went on that tangent, but it just irritates me. These men wearing makeup, but you see how the tides have turned, man. If everybody leaves the restaurant angry, the food probably sucked. And that's where we are.

[00:12:21]Now, here's the thing that nobody wants to admit.

[00:12:25]Politics does have an ego problem. I mean, look at this post here. We didn't meet out of desperation. Iran did. They are finished. We'll play it out the 60 days. They'll get no money. No, not 10 cents. The thing is is that doesn't come from a position of strength. It just doesn't sound like it. Okay.

[00:12:44]But going back to what I just said, now politics has an ego problem, but it's not true. Politics is an ego problem.

[00:12:51]Everybody thinks they're the smartest guy in the room. Everybody thinks they're uh 10 moves ahead. Everybody thinks they're playing chess. And every now and then, reality walks in and and flips over the chessboard.

[00:13:05]We've watched it happen our entire life, man. Presidents change, parties change, the name changes, the pattern evolves.

[00:13:15]People start believing their own mythology. And that's what we're seeing right now.

[00:13:21]Donald Trump believing his own mythology.

[00:13:24]And once that happens, bad decision starts, right? They start.

[00:13:31]Then bad decisions start looking like good decisions because nobody around them will say no. And that's dangerous.

[00:13:40]Now, speaking of bad decisions, can we talk about the reflecting pond here?

[00:13:46]My gosh.

[00:13:50]Boys and girls, if there's a better symbol of government efficiency, I haven't seen it. $14 million.

[00:14:02]$14 million.

[00:14:07]And the result looks like somebody escaped from a toxic waste facility.

[00:14:12]Paint peeling. The water's looking terrible. Algae has taken over. It looks like this stuff is alive, man. I have seen duck ponds behind trailer parks with better quality control than this. Really? And honestly, think if you gave a group of Marines a skid steer in a weekend, they could have done a better job and still had enough money left over for a couple of beers.

[00:14:38]$14 million. The government spent 14 million dollars on making water worse.

[00:14:47]That should be impossible.

[00:14:49]Here we are. It's almost It's almost impressive.

[00:14:54]Not good impressive. Like watching somebody actually look and and and and and not figure out where they're going, right?

[00:15:05]That's where we are that we can't figure out where we're going.

[00:15:11]Locking yourself out your house is impressive.

[00:15:15]Driving without looking is impressive.

[00:15:18]It's crazy, man. Don't give them any more money. All they're going to do is ruin water and send it to Israel.

[00:15:27]Come on. Come on.

[00:15:30]Now, before I end this, because while politicians are fighting and and and and the MAGA influencers are defending all this, everybody's pulling each other's hair on social media. There are still Americans who deserve recognition, man. Major capers, okay? US Marine, Vietnam, a warrior, a man whose courage was recognized by the people around him long before the paperwork caught up.

[00:16:03]He saved his teammates in 1967, key to Vietnam.

[00:16:10]He was enlisted man got a battlefield commission.

[00:16:14]Incredible.

[00:16:17]He was heavily took heavy fire severely wounded and saved people his team.

[00:16:25]Now he was recommended in 1967 for the Medal of Honor.

[00:16:31]Those people that were doing the paperwork died in Vietnam. So unfortunately it didn't never happen. In between 2008 2010, he was recommended again during the Obama administration.

[00:16:45]They downgraded it to a silver star which in which he did receive.

[00:16:51]Thank God uh he was uh awarded this even after the time constraints uh this Medal of Honor because he he deserves it. This guy, true legend in the Marine Corps, and the reconnaissance community.

[00:17:09]In this picture here, he was wounded from Vietnam when he took it. He he was uh a recruiting poster essentially. Ask a Marine.

[00:17:20]But think about that. In decades, decades waiting, administrations came and went, presidents came and went, and the world changed.

[00:17:30]But eventually the truth got there.

[00:17:32]That's worth remembering because courage doesn't care who's in office and honor doesn't care who's trending on social media. Valor doesn't care what party someone belongs to because valor lasts. And honestly, that's probably the most positive thing that I've seen all week and I wanted to touch on it. But getting back to Iran, man, where does all this go? I don't know. Maybe everything works out. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe the negotiations recover. Highly doubtful.

[00:18:07]But uh hopefully people calm down, but they probably won't.

[00:18:15]What I do know is this.

[00:18:18]When everybody starts claiming victory while simultaneously being pissed off at each other, time to pay attention because something isn't adding up.

[00:18:30]And eventually reality collects the bill. Anyway guys, remember to stay frosty, stay strapped, stay dangerous, and I will see you in the next one.

[00:18:39]Black Scout out.

[00:18:41]>> Two, three, two.
