Watters: A crisis is around the corner…

Hinzugefügt: 2026-04-30

[00:00:02]Fox News alert. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

[00:00:05]The commander-in-chief says, quote, "Iran can't get their act together, and they better get smart soon."

[00:00:12]>> We're not flying anymore with 18-hour flights every time we want to see a piece of paper. We're doing it telephonically, and it's very nice. They've come a long way. The question is whether or not they're going to go far enough. So, at this moment, there will never be a deal unless they agree that there will be no nuclear weapons.

[00:00:33]>> Trump's hoping to break the deadlock.

[00:00:35]Axios is reporting that US Central Command is preparing for a short and powerful wave of strikes. Fourstar General Jack Keane says the Mullers only listen to bombs.

[00:00:46]>> The people running the regime, their only objective is to survive and stay in power. The amount of economic peril that the blockade will put on on Iran is real. Eventually, it could cause an economic collapse, but they don't care about the suffering of their people, whether the electricity is on or whether there's long gas lines or other economic plight that the people will suffer. They will not give in in my judgment. What they what we need to do is finish the objectives. The latest Iranian proposal, they say they'll open up the straight if we drop the blockade, but we'd also have to negotiate the nuke dust later. Trump says, "Are you crazy? What do we look like?" John Kerry. Pete says the Navy's not backing down to a bunch of pirates.

[00:01:35]What they're doing right now is effectively piracy. It's terrorism. It's threatening international shipping. Uh, and our blockade is is signaling to the world that we actually control that straight. The president says the blockade is quote somewhat more effective than the bombing. They're choking like a stuffed pig and it's going to be worse for them. 20 Iranian ships filled with oil and cargo are stuck in a Persian port growing cobwebs.

[00:02:00]This worldass blockade has already turned around 42 vessels. This week, US Marines boarded a commercial ship, the Blue Star 3. It wasn't following orders.

[00:02:11]We stopped her in the Arabian Sea, repelled down onto the deck, quarantined the crew, and now it's in the custody of Uncle Sam.

[00:02:19]>> How long are you prepared to maintain the blockade? Could that go several more months?

[00:02:23]>> Well, the blockade is genius. Okay. The blockade has been 100% foolproof. It shows how good our navy is. I can tell you that. Nobody's going to play games militarily. We've wiped them out. They have no military left. They're It's all The navy's at the bottom of the sea. The Air Force is never going to fly again.

[00:02:42]Uh, we've we've got an amazing military.

[00:02:45]Now we Now they have to cry uncle.

[00:02:48]That's all they have to do. Just say we give up. Uncle in Iran is amu in case the gay gets cable. President Trump says their pipelines are close to exploding.

[00:03:00]Reports say the country runs out of oil storage in 12 to 22 days. The regime scrambling to bring back old tankers from the dead. A decommissioned 30-year-old ship was just seen in for the first time in years. Right now, they have over 60 million barrels of crude that they can't sell. That's six billion bucks rocking on a dock. Treasury says it's only a matter of time before Iran won't be able to drill baby drill ever again. And a gasoline crisis is around the corner. Iran's economy is starting to look like Zimbabwe. The inflation rate, are you ready? 70%.

[00:03:35]and their currency. It's like over a million real for a cup of hummus. The military's killed the country's Wi-Fi, say you can barely run a business. And you know, Persian rugs can't sell them.

[00:03:48]The Persian rug business is going belly up. 90% of the economyy's oil. The rest rugs and pistachios.

[00:03:57]But the military doesn't care as long as they get paid. But the IRGC just missed payroll. Operation Economic Fury sanctioning Iran's shadow banking industry. These elicit webs of underground transactions. They kick back money to the guard from oil and arms trafficking. Well, Scotty bees liquidating their golden parachutes. The retirement funds that they thought that they had outside of Iran. Uh we are freezing. We're holding those for the Iranian people. Same with all their villas in the south of France and all over the world. And we are going to track them down. And we are going to uh continue this the economic pressure as well as the the block on the straight of Hermoose.

[00:04:42]>> Best and better work is magic on the money front fast because American Hawks have an itchy trigger finger. Now OPEC is catching strays.

[00:04:51]>> It's the UAE. They pulled out of OPEC.

[00:04:53]What do you think about that?

[00:04:54]>> I think it's great. I mean I think it's great. Look, I know him very well.

[00:04:57]Muhammad and uh very smart and he probably maybe wants to go his own way. That's a good thing. I think for ultimately it's a good thing for getting the price of gas down, getting oil down, getting everything down.

[00:05:14]>> This is good news because there's a lot of upward pressure on Brent crude today.

[00:05:18]Closed at $100 20 a barrel. Business figured out that oil supply is unreliable. The only reliable producer is us. And we're turning into the world's cheapest, safest gas station.

[00:05:31]You know, the clean one in the nice neighborhood that'll squeegee you down your windshield with a smile. That's us.

[00:05:37]Globalism's toast. We're in an every man for himself situation. Resource nationalism is back. Today, gas prices hit four and a quarter.

[00:05:49]Can't have that on Memorial Day weekend.

[00:05:52]Can't have it. The president actually dipped away from the king yesterday to huddle with oil and gas execs. Then Putin called.

[00:05:59]>> What involvement does he want to have in the Iran situation?

[00:06:04]>> Um he told me he'd like to be involved with the enrichment if we if he can help us get it. I said I'd much rather have you be involved with ending the war with Ukraine. To me, that would be more important.

[00:06:16]>> Biden went three years without ever even talking to Putin. Even after Putin invaded, Biden never picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Vlad, let's talk." Never did it. Meanwhile, in 24 hours, Trump's talking to Putin, the Iranians, oil CEOs, and the king of England. Today, Secretary of War Pete Hexath testified to the House Armed Services Committee, and wackos chased him down the hall with pink handcuffs, and then Democrats tried to get cute.

[00:06:47]Do you believe that the president is mentally stable enough to be the commander-in-chief?

[00:06:52]Um, >> did you ask the same question of Joe Biden for four years?

[00:06:57]>> Operation Epic Fury was a breeze for Pete compared to dealing with these showboers.

[00:07:03]The biggest challenge, the biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless, and defeist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans. Two months in, I remind you two months in to a conflict. Lest I remind you, and my generation understands how long we were in Iraq, how long we were in Afghanistan. We only have 10% of our firepower in the Gulf and only 10% of targets left to hit. And what's left of the Iranian leaders are living underground fighting over how much to surrender. 47 showing a little bit of mercy. He's trying to give peace a chance, but Democrats think the Pentagon's stuck in the muck.

[00:07:47]>> Watching you say the same thing on CNN this morning. A quagmire.

[00:07:51]My generation served in a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan. Years and years of of nebulous missions and utopian nation building that led us to nothing. what we have right now.

[00:08:04]The way you stain the troops when you tell them two months in. Two months in, Congressman, you should know better.

[00:08:11]Shame on you. Calling this a quagmire.

[00:08:13]Two months in.

[00:08:15]>> If the commander-in-chief wanted last Tuesday could have been bridge and power plant day. It'd be lights out. But Democrats would just call him a war criminal. And then when he'd negotiate, they'd say chickens out. Just noise.

[00:08:28]Military morale is at all-time highs.

[00:08:31]Recruitment just broke a 30-year record.

[00:08:34]Under Joe Biden, Americans didn't want to join the military. We couldn't get it. Now we have to turn people away and push them to the next fiscal year.

[00:08:42]That's why this budget grows our force by almost 50,000 ultimately additional troops into the force that we believe we can recruit. That's the best vote of confidence I can imagine. The new Pentagon budget, they're asking for a lot. The money is going for a good cause. The Trump class battleship, armed to the teeth, laser turrets, a rail gun, hypersonic and nuclear weapons capabilities. This is nextgen stuff.

[00:09:09]Trump calls it the golden fleet. But Democrats say Operation Epic Fury costs too much. Schumer says this, 25 billion.

[00:09:16]Imagine everything we could have done with that money. Funds for health care, hospitals, schools, veterans, military families, and so much more. Trump gave the military a raise for the first time in years. Obama had vets dying on VA weight lists and hospitals and schools.

[00:09:36]We already send billions to schools and hospitals and the Democrats steal it.

[00:09:41]All this money, we get sicker, our kids get dumber, and Democrats get richer.

[00:09:47]More money for schools and hospitals.

[00:09:50]Schumer wants to send more money to the children's learing center. We spent 25 billion on USA ID and the money never got overseas. Went to Democrats in DC.

[00:10:02]Yes, war is expensive. No doubt about it. But it's cheaper to disarm them than to bribe them. Obama and Biden spent more money bribing the Ayatollah than we spent killing them. What would you rather spend your money on? building their missiles for them or blowing them up.
