[00:00:00]surprise from the White House. First, President Trump threatened new attacks and said he didn't want to extend the ceasefire. Then, he extended it indefinitely, even though the peace talks themselves are in doubt.

[00:00:10]>> Trump extends the US ceasefire with Iran indefinitely just hours before it was due to end, allowing more time for negotiators and for Iran to present a proposal while vowing to maintain a blockade of Iran's ports.

[00:00:21]>> CNN has learned that the US military has significantly depleted its stockpile of key missiles during the war with Iran.

[00:00:28]And according to experts, this reduction is so severe, it has created a near-term risk of the US running out of ammunition.

[00:00:35]>> Oo's poll out today finds 71% of Americans do not consider the president to be eventempered.

[00:00:43]>> The self-proclaimed most powerful man on earth, screaming alone outside a closed door, his own door, his own war room, his own war. And the people inside that room made a quiet, terrifying decision.

[00:00:58]They decided the man with the nuclear codes should not be in the room with the nuclear codes. So, they shut him out, locked him out of his own military operation, and kept the real-time updates for themselves. This isn't from a whistleblower with an axe to grind.

[00:01:12]This isn't from a liberal blog. This is from the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch's paper, the most conservative financial newspaper in America. And they said it plainly. AIDS limited the president's access to real-time military updates because they were that alarmed by what they were seeing in that room.

[00:01:30]America first, just not in the situation room. Apparently, >> according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, aids are now excluding the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, from do or die meetings about military operations.

[00:01:44]>> Now, here's what was happening publicly while that door was being closed. Every single day, sometimes five, 10 times a day, this president stepped in front of a camera and told you the war was going swimmingly. His exact word, swimmingly.

[00:01:57]He said Iran had no choice. He said they were defeated. He said the navy was at the bottom of the sea. The air force was gone. 13,000 targets destroyed, total domination, and we're almost done. It'll be over very soon. We're so close. I can see the deal from here.

[00:02:12]>> I don't want to be a wise guy. I don't want to speak too soon, but we do very well. You noticed that we're doing very well. And I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. Their army is gone. They're just about, look, their navy is gone. Their communications are gone. Their leaders are gone. Two sets of their leaders are gone. They're down to their third set. Uh their air force is wiped out entirely. And behind the closed door, the Wall Street Journal's sources said he was frustrated allies wouldn't join the fight. He was alarmed by rising gas prices, the same prices his own propaganda machine was going on television to deny existed. He was shifting between wanting to escalate and wanting to run. One day, threatening to destroy every bridge and power plant in the country.

[00:03:01]>> Where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12:00 tomorrow night. Where every power plant in Iran will be out of business. burning, exploding, and never to be used again.

[00:03:12]>> The next day, promising a deal better than anything the previous administration ever offered. When two American pilots went missing over Iran, he reportedly screamed at AIDS for hours, hours, and his team became so genuinely frightened of his state of mind that they limited what information reached him. The Mirror went further, citing a former CIA analyst. They reported that the chairman of the joint chiefs, General Dan Kaney, physically blocked the president from accessing the nuclear codes during one of these episodes. Told him to get out. Stop talking about nuclear weapons. We're not giving you the codes. Let that land. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs blocking the president from the nuclear codes because the president of the United States during an act of war was behaving in a way that made the people around him scared of what he'd do with them. This is America first foreign policy.

[00:04:03]operating at full capacity. But here's the question nobody wanted to ask loudly enough. If the president was being managed out of his own war room, who exactly was running this war? The answer, based on what's been reported, is a defense secretary who spent his management energy not on the enemy outside, but on the generals inside.

[00:04:22]Pete Hexith, no prior Pentagon experience, former television personality, and in the time since taking office, he has fired more than a dozen senior military officers. He has almost completely rebuilt the Joint Chiefs of Staff from scratch. Just two officials remained from before this administration. Two. And then he fired General Randy George, Army Chief of Staff. Decades of battlefield command.

[00:04:46]Someone peers described as a generational leader. The intelligence, the discipline, the war fighting experience, the vision to transform the army into something built for modern warfare. People who have worked alongside him for years called him irreplaceable. One retired general said on live television, "I haven't seen anybody quite like him." Hexath fired him over a one- minute phone call. No notice, no explanation. Along with him went the chief of chaplain and the commander of army transformation. Senior Army leadership told CNN they were completely blindsided. One officials response, "It doesn't feel like a very thoughtout decision. Not thought out during an active war." And if you look at what Hegsth built after clearing the board, every joint chief's position filled by white men in a military where a third of active duty service members are people of color and nearly one in five are women. Hexath had also pressured the army to strike officers from a promotion list. Most of them women, most of them black officers, loyalty tests, demographic audits, one minute firings during a shooting war. If you think this story deserves more people watching it, share this video right now because what's being done to the United States military while this conflict is active is something every American should understand regardless of who they voted for. Let's talk about what Iran was actually doing while Washington was imploding. Iran came into these negotiations with a 10-point framework, a clear, unified position, their non-negotiables on the table, documented, submitted. Before the ceasefire was even announced, the Trump administration had agreed in principle to negotiate within that framework. What Iran got in return was a naval blockade of the Persian Gulf. American warships stopping Iranian vessels in waters. Iran considers its own backyard. Iran's foreign minister responded without ambiguity. Blockading Iranian ports is an act of war. It violates the ceasefire. You cannot simultaneously announce a ceasefire and impose a naval blockade. These are not compatible positions. Iran communicated through Pakistan, which was supposed to be hosting the next round of talks, that as long as the blockade remained in place, they were not coming to Islamabad. Full stop. The Trump team flew to Pakistan anyway. J. D. Vance, Steve Whitoff, Jared Kushner, all three on standby in Pakistan waiting for the Iranian delegation. The Iranian delegation never came. They sat there waiting in Pakistan for a meeting that wasn't happening.

[00:07:22]Then Trump went on CNBC and told the anchor live on air that Iran had confirmed it would send its delegation.

[00:07:29]He said they had no choice. They would show up, just watch.

[00:07:33]>> Well, I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time because by the time both parties get there, as you know, they just got the okay to go forward, which I knew they were going to do anyway. I mean, I don't think they had a choice. They have to negotiate.

[00:07:45]>> Iran had confirmed no such thing. The CNBC anchor reported it as fact. No push back, no verification, just broadcast it straight to markets. And then the Vance delegation quietly turned around and flew home. So, what did the president do? He posted on social media that the ceasefire was being extended, not because his team failed, not because Iran refused to negotiate, but because, in his words, Iran's government is seriously fractured and needs time to come up with a unified proposal.

[00:08:15]Iran's response was immediate, direct, and devastating.

[00:08:19]We never requested an extension. We did not ask for more time. We have a unified proposal. You agreed to it. You are the ones who added a blockade. You are the ones contradicting yourselves daily. We are not showing up to dignify a process you are using to manipulate markets, distort reality, and save face on social media. An Iranian adviser said it more bluntly. Trump has been defeated in this war. He's tried every option. He knows war brings him nothing. So, he's looking for an exit and trying to frame Iran as the disorganized party so he can walk away claiming something. Now, here is the number that the administration does not want trending. 45%.

[00:08:59]That is roughly how much of America's precision strike missile stockpile was burned through in approximately seven weeks of war with Iran. Not a superpower, not China, not Russia, one country, 7 weeks. Here's the full damage report confirmed by multiple sources familiar with Pentagon assessments and backed by analysis from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

[00:09:21]Nearly half of America's ballistic missile interceptors gone. Nearly half of Patriot air defense stockpiles gone.

[00:09:28]30% of Tomahawk longrange cruise missiles gone. More than 20% of several other critical munition categories gone.

[00:09:36]And the replacement timeline 1 to 6 years. One military analyst put the logic on the table as clearly as anyone has. We just ran out of up to 50% of our strategic defensive interceptors in a war with a regional power. Now consider what those numbers look like against a peer adversary. Which brings us to China. Because while the straight of Hormuz ceasefire was being extended and Vance was on a plane home from Pakistan, the United States intercepted a ship it said was carrying what the president described as a gift from China to Iran.

[00:10:08]China had reportedly given the president personal assurances it would not be arming Thran. Someone sent the ship anyway. An analyst asked the natural question on CNN. Do you believe a weapon shipment of this scale moves without Beijing knowing? China spent this entire conflict watching, collecting data, observing what percentage of the American arsenal gets burned, fighting one country, watching the F-35, the stealth fighter that ate billions of the US defense budget, get picked up by Iranian radar and engaged on camera, watching what works, watching what doesn't, taking notes. And now they've apparently decided to quietly resupply the country that just forced the world's biggest military to extend a ceasefire and blame a time zone problem. If this is the first time you're hearing these numbers, the missile depletion, then the algorithm hasn't been showing you what you need to see. Subscribe right now.

[00:11:02]This story is not slowing down and we are not letting it go. back home while all of this was active, while the blockade was running and the generals were being fired and the president was being kept out of his own situation room. A CNN poll published during the conflict showed the following.

[00:11:18]Only onethird of Americans approved of how the president was handling his role as commanderin-chief.

[00:11:24]Twothirds disapproved of the decision to go to war with Iran at all. Opposition had grown 12 points since the conflict began.

[00:11:32]63% of Americans believed this would become a long-term military conflict.

[00:11:36]Nearly 7 in 10 opposed sending ground troops, something the White House kept conspicuously refusing to rule out. And 71% of Americans did not want Congress to authorize 200 billion more dollars in military spending on this conflict.

[00:11:51]These are not opposition numbers. These are the numbers of a country that was told this would be fast, clean, and decisive and is watching it be none of those things. Meanwhile, the White House submitted a Pentagon budget requesting a 42% year-over-year increase, $1.5 trillion, while the same administration argues there is not enough money for healthare. While soldiers wounded in this conflict reportedly lack adequate shelter and care, while black mold sits in barracks, one military analyst broke it down directly. A significant portion of that budget doesn't go to actual warfighting capability. It goes to expensive vanity projects. an F-35 that Iran can see. Fordass aircraft carriers where the toilets reportedly don't work.

[00:12:34]But the line item for defense contractors, Rathon, Lockheed, that line item is very healthy. And while all of this was happening, while the straight of Hormuz stayed shut, while Iran demonstrated it could enforce a blockade closure by firing on ships that disobeyed, while the ceasefire hung in permanent indefinite extension with no framework and no deadline. The president held a press conference about college sports. He talked about men and women's sports. He asked the athletes in the room to raise their hands if they disagreed with him. He said he thinks it's 99 to1, maybe 100 to nothing. He was very energized about it.

[00:13:11]>> As soon as I took office, I ended a terrible injustice and banned men from competing in women's sports. I don't know if anybody agrees. Does anybody agree with that? That uh men should be able to play in women's sports. Would you like to raise your hand? They say it's an 8020 issue, but I've never been able to find anybody. So, I think it's a 99 to1. Maybe it's a little bit more than that, coach. Right. Maybe it's 100 to nothing. The straight of Hormuz closed. Half the missile stockpile gone.

[00:13:41]Top generals fired midwar. Iran not showing up. Vance on his way home. The president. Does anybody agree that men should play in women's sports? Don't feel shy. America first, college sports first, apparently. And now for the part of this story that a sitting United States senator called grotesque. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law. One of the three envoys sent to Pakistan to negotiate with a country that was refusing to be in the same room. A man who has accumulated billions of dollars from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, billions, while conducting nuclear diplomacy in the same region those funds originate from. A senator said it plainly on television. The guy leading diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and shakes and then going around asking for billions more while conducting nuclear negotiations on behalf of the United States. He's on the Saudi payroll for $2 billion. Did you know that?

[00:14:44]And now he's leading American diplomacy in the Middle East. Apparently, while at the very same time asking princes and shakes across the Arab world to give him billions more cartoonish, grotesque, his words, "This is the foreign policy. A son-in-law collecting Gulf money while negotiating with Iran on behalf of a country that is simultaneously blockading Iranian ports while calling it a ceasefire." An Iranian ambassador quoted Jane Austin.

[00:15:13]He said it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single country in possession of a large civilization will not negotiate under threat and force.

[00:15:21]This is a core principle. He said he wished the United States had understood it. Jane Austin used by an Iranian diplomat to explain American foreign policy failure to the country that wrote American foreign policy. So here is where this actually stands. The ceasefire has been extended indefinitely. No timeline, no framework, no clear condition that triggers an end.

[00:15:45]The naval blockade continues. Iran says the blockade is an act of war and will not reopen the straight of Hormuz until it lifts. Iran has demonstrated it is willing and able to enforce that closure, firing on ships that disobeyed.

[00:16:00]Vance, Witkov, and Kushner went home.

[00:16:03]The president blamed Iran's disorganization. Iran said it never asked for an extension. The missile stockpile sits at roughly half capacity.

[00:16:12]China is watching, taking notes, sending ships. A decorated army general was fired in a one-minute phone call midwar for the crime of appearing disloyal. The president was kept out of his own situation room. The chairman of the joint chiefs allegedly blocked access to the nuclear codes. And twothirds of Americans, the people this was done for, the people told this would be fast and righteous and decisive, think it was a mistake. This is what America First looks like when it meets a country that has spent 47 years preparing to outlast it. A country that controls a 21m gate the global economy cannot function without. A country that fights asymmetrically that changes the cost calculation of every weapon the United States throws at it. That releases Lego memes from inside an active conflict because it has calculated correctly that psychological composure is its own kind of weapon. The door to the situation room was closed. The gate at the straight of Hormuz is still closed. And the man who promised to win so much you'd get tired of winning is extending ceasefires nobody asked for and blaming the other side for his own retreat.
