Trump GOES SILENT as IRAN STRIKES SHIP!!

Donald Trump has gone silent as Iran. strikes another cargo ship in the Strait. of Hormuz. This is precisely what I. predicted was going to happen in the. first video I did this morning. Moments. ago, we learned the following. >> [snorts]. >> A UKMTO. United Kingdom maritime warning stated. the following. Attack. Attack. A cargo. vessel has been hit on the starboard. side by an unknown projectile causing.

damage to the bridge. Master has. reported no casualties and no. environmental impact. Obviously, Iran is. exerting its newly claimed control over. Hormuz after yesterday's Omani route. breakout. Remember, Iran said you cannot. go through the Oman route, the Oman. passage. You need IRGC approval. And if.

you try to test us, we will knock out. your ship. That is precisely what. happened. And I've been saying, yes, the. oil prices have been dropping on the. Brent crude futures, but I said there is. massive instability and it's dropping. based on massive market manipulation. And remember this morning, I shared with. you the data under the two years in the. Biden administration following. Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And I.

said, look at what the prices were. there, way higher. I said there's far. more instability now. And also, we see. there's far more instability in Russia's. invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine. responding by attacking the Russian oil. depots. Yet, the price of Brent crude. was $73. It made absolutely no sense to. me at all. And Donald Trump, after. manipulating the market all day. yesterday and Treasury Secretary Bessent. doing the same look. He has no items.

today on his calendar where he'll be. talking to the press. Who knows, maybe. he shows up. He hasn't posted anything. on social media. It is a fraud in plain. sight that is taking place. Another open-source intelligence account. explains how this container ship was hit. by a projectile sailing in the forbidden. corridor of the Omani waters. Again, that's the video I did this morning cuz. I said this is what's going to happen. and it's going to happen quite. frequently. And the fact that two US.

aircraft carriers, fighter jets, drones. that are going around the Strait of. Hormuz 24/7 couldn't protect this. container ship in the Omani waters is a. reminder the US has no control over the. Strait of Hormuz. And I've been showing. you the actual satellite data. of the ships that are pinging that they. are in the Strait of Hormuz. And you'll. see right here that yesterday there were. ships trying to get through the Omani. route. You see right here that the ships.

have been turning around and they either. use the IRGC route or they don't get out. of the Strait of Hormuz. That's what's. going on. You know, Foreign Minister. Aragchi spoke with his counterpart in. Oman, the Foreign Minister of Oman to. discuss regional updates. And here's. what they said coming out of this. meeting, that they agree that for a. temporary 60-day period that they will. allow for there to be free transit. through the IRGC-controlled.

area in the Strait of Hormuz, but that's. for a limited 60-day period. And. thereafter, Iran intends to charge fees, billions of dollars in fees. And the. Wall Street Journal did an article about. that today, but we didn't need that from. the Wall Street Journal because Iran has. been saying it. And they've been doing. what they're saying, and we can read. what's in the memorandum of. understanding. Iran intends to charge. environmental service fees, protection.

fees as the overall toll structure where. they plan to make billions and billions. of dollars. And by the way, we can. actually show you data, show you. receipts, show you audio. I mean, this. isn't some cloak and dagger stuff right. now. I mean, this is happening in plain. sight. So, for example, ships have. turned around in the Strait of Oman when. the IRGC issued the warning. We have the. audio of the SEPAH Navy. That's the IRGC.

Navy. SEPAH Navy, SEPAH Navy, turn your. ships around, turn your ships around, or. we will strike you. And the ship that. didn't turn around got hit. That's what. happened. Here, I'll show you this. Let's play this audio of the SEPAH Navy, the IRGC Navy, broadcasting this. We. have the satellite footage of the ships. turning around. And then we have the. Trump regime, Donald Trump, Bass Ent, Rubio manipulating the markets. Let's. listen to the audio. Let's play this. clip. >> Attention [clears throat] all vessels.

Attention all vessels. Attention all. vessels in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. This is SEPAH Navy warning. Transiting in the Strait of Hormuz is. only possible with SEPAH Navy permission. and on designated routes. If any vessel attempts to transit in the. strait without our permission or AIS off. or outside of the designated routes, it's responsible for any consequences of. any danger. This is SEPAH Navy house.

>> Now, we got the following message from. Iran's lead negotiator and the leader of. their parliament, MB Galibaf. He writes, "America falsely claims our unfrozen. assets will buy their agriculture.". Interesting. "The only crop we're. harvesting is what you planted, decades. of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and. homegrown. But apparently, the US only. exports GMO soybeans, broken promises,

and trash talks. That's what they think of the United. States, and that's what the rest of the. world thinks of the United States. So, you have Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who refused to participate in the. Switzerland technical talks regarding. the MOU because he didn't want to be. associated with it. So, he already shows. divisions in the negotiating team by him. not being there and just having J.D. Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff at the.

Switzerland talks. You're the Secretary. of State, dude. That's literally your. job as the top diplomat to be there. Sorry if you don't want to do it. That's. what your job is. But instead, Rubio's. meeting with the Gulf Cooperation. countries this week. He's meeting with. Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, and others. Notably, Saudi Arabia is not on the. schedule. Saudi Arabia doesn't want to. meet there. Live it. And all these. countries are live it. And they're. saying the US security umbrella failed.

And these GCC countries want to try to. figure out how, and I did a video on. this this morning as well, to do. reconciliation commissions and figure. out how they can be become more closer. allied with Iran because they need. protection. And the US hasn't provided. it. All they get from Trump and Rubio is. fraud and lies and catastrophic. invasions and then fraud about the. catastrophic invasions that caused death. and destruction to the economy. So,

Marco Rubio is there in the Middle East. and he's meeting with these Gulf these. Gulf countries, these Arab nations. And. Rubio's like, "No one can charge tolls. Let's just suppose we went crazy and. lost our minds and agreed that there. could be a tolling mechanism. How would. you enforce it? The way it's enforced today, Rubio. Iran. knocked out a ship and y'all go silent. And y'all go silent and then just say. everything's going fantastic to.

manipulate the markets for your. right-wing oligarch buds. Here, play. this clip. >> go through the straits. And think about. it this way. If you have First of all, this is not even workable. Let's suppose. that we went crazy for and lost our. minds completely and decided to agree to. have a tolling or a fee mechanism. How. would that work? It's not doable. Because what's the consequence for not. paying? Let's say a ship says, "Well, I'm not going to pay the fee." It's not. like a toll on a road. You don't get a. ticket in the mail. They get shot at. You shoot at one ship, you sink one. ship, no other ship is going to move.

So, that sort of system is not only. unwise, it can't happen. It's not even. workable. So, you might as well abandon. the fantasy now. >> Then Marco Rubio says, "And our. relationship with Oman is fine because. Oman says they're not in favor of a. tolling system.". Read the damn MOU, you. idiot. We can see the text. And I know. you want to say, "Oh, there's no algae. in the reflecting pool. Don't believe. your eyes. No, January 6th wasn't an.

insurrection. We We're not going to talk. about the 2020 election." I mean, "COVID was caused by Dr. Fauci." I mean, all. all of your ridiculous lies. Can we speak about the truth, please? The MOU says that there's a 60-day. period where there won't be tolls, there. won't be charges, but then after 60. days, there can be. It's in the MOU, the. document. And it's also in the technical. discussions that happened after. Here, let's play this clip. >> is the current bilateral relationship.

with Oman now in a good place? And are. you convinced they're not playing games. with respect to that issue? >> I mean, our relationship with Iran is. fine. I mean, ultimately there's not. going to be any fees or tolls. There's. not going to be any and they've signed, you know, they they were there in the. meeting today and they they said it that. they're not in favor of a tolling. system. So, um that's good. I'm glad to hear you say. that. >> have to ask cuz it's just a few weeks. ago. >> All right. Well, Rubio, what about the. $300. reconstruction fund that the US has. guaranteed Iran that's in the MOU?

True, the MOU doesn't say that that 300. billion has to be paid directly by the. US, but Trump is a signatory to a. guarantee of $300. to Iran. In the most basic of. principles, that's a guarantor. So, it's. got to come from somewhere, Rubio. So, did you speak with [snorts] the Arab. nations about the $300 because the Trump. regime said that money's going to come.

from the Arab nations and not us. So, surely that came up. Did it, Rubio? Here, play this clip. >> Mr. Mr. Secretary, in in the meeting. with the GCC allies, did any of them. make any commitments to pay into this. $300 reconstruction? >> No, it was not discussed. I mean, that. the reconstruction car that's way down. the road and that's something, you know, that'll be dealt with at the appropriate. time in this process. Um. there was but that was not discussed by. any. >> Oh, so that wasn't discussed. So, that's. just a fraudulent provision. That's what.

Donald Trump has done his whole life. He. never honors a contract. He views. negotiation as a way to sucker punch. He. believes that the good faith that's. supposed to occur is for suckers and. losers. And by the way, Iran realizes. that. That's why they've built a tiered. system in this agreement where they get. the benefits first. They get funds. unfrozen. They get the blockade removed. They get the sanctions waivers. And. those things have happened. So, Rubio,

another question for you, buddy. The MOU. did not include a specific number of. years during which Iran could not. develop a nuclear weapon. So, what's it. going to be, Rubio? You got some. specifics? And Rubio says, "Ah, the MOU. is not even really a deal. It's just a. framework of an outline to negotiate.". No, no, no, Rubio. I hate to break it to. you. The MOU has binding provisions. It. is a short form, but it is binding. And.

yes, it creates obligations for future. negotiations, but there are binding. provisions in the MOU that then get. implemented, not changed, implemented. through a longer agreement. That's why. these Trump regime people are all such. freaking frauds. Watch what Rubio says. Let's play this clip. >> Mr. Sec- Mr. Secretary, the MOU did not. include a specific number of years. during which Iran could not develop. nuclear weapons. Should a final. agreement have a specific number and is. US putting.

>> No, that's No, that's a why would an MOU. would not have that cuz MOU is not a. final agreement. An MOU just creates the. construct and the outlines for a. negotiation. And there's no doubt that. as part of that negotiation, very. specific terms like years and limits. will be discussed. And that includes the. mechanisms by which it's verified and. enforced. >> But is there a number of years or just. here this morning? >> All right. Well, Rubio, are you aware of. any of the frozen money that Qatar holds. being transferred already to Iran? We. know that that happened. It's undisputed. that happened. What does the lying Rubio.

say cuz these people lie about. everything? Everything they Everything. is a lie. I'm not aware. I'm not. familiar. I'm not aware about that. Well, it happened, Rubio. I'm aware. about it. The rest of the world is aware. about it. The Arab nations you're. meeting with are aware about it. So, when you say stupid when you say. stupid stuff like that, people are like, "Okay, you have no credibility. You have. no credibility at all." Here, sorry I. cursed. Here, play this clip. >> Are you aware. has any or are you aware of any of the. frozen money that Cutter holds being.

transferred already to Iran? >> Well, well, I'm not aware of that. I. don't think anyone in our system has. said that. So, I I I don't know if. you're responding to some news or. anything that's out there, but as of. right now, we're not aware of any money, nor have we agreed for any money to be. transferred. >> Okay, so that all that money is still. there. >> As far as. That's our understanding. And there's no. agreement on that point, so there better. be. >> And then, you bring in Michael Boulos, Tiffany Trump's husband, Donald Trump's.

other son-in-law. It's like a family. affair. You've got Kushner in. Switzerland, Michael Boule Boulos, Tiffany's husband, sitting next to you. in the meeting in UAE with MBZ, the. president of the UAE. And the and the head of Abu Dhabi. Really? That's what That's what you do? Do you also realize that makes you look. pathetic? You have Boulos sitting there. What is this? An internship? A. nepotistic internship? What are you. doing? And Rubio was asked about it. Um.

can you clarify why Tiffany Trump's. husband was sitting next to you at the. meeting in Abu Dhabi? Doesn't that make. the US look stupid? Uh. >> [snorts]. >> uh He was there to see his brother who. lives here. He was just there to like. hang out and catch up. By the way, I'm going to show you that. Rubio said that. He's there to hang out. and catch up. That's great, everybody. That's great. The American economy right. now is in the trash. The American people. are suffering, but guess what? Tiffany's. husband, he's just there hanging. He's. chilling with the crew. What in the hell is going on? Here, play.

this clip of Rubio so you can hear for. yourself. >> Can you clarify what the role. of Michael Boulos was today? >> Mike was just Mike Michael Boulos? Oh, he was there to see his brother who. lives here. He was just there to see me. and catch up. >> What's your brother's name? >> No, no, no. >> But there was a working lunch, right? So. >> There was, but he was a but the he the. conversations around him had to do with. He was just here because his brother. lives here and I'm a good friend of. Michael's, so we had a chance to catch. up. >> All right, thank you. Thank you.

>> Hey guys, we're going to. boarding the plane. >> And as Steve Rattner explains, the Trump. administration has already authorized. $20 billion for Iran before the final. long-form deal. It's in the MOU, Iran's. got it. If a deal is reached, Iran could. receive nearly $500. um and by the way, probably more than. that as well. That's the reality while. the American people are the ones who. suffer. We got new PCE, the Fed's. preferred inflation data today. PCE.

inflation jumped to 4.1% year-over-year. in May. It's the highest inflation in 3. years and it's due largely to the war in. Iran's impact. Core PCE inflation, which. excludes food and energy, rose to 3.4%, the highest since fall of 2023. Donald Trump's promise when he ran for. office is that he would bring down. prices. They are increasing and they are. increasing at a very, very quick rate.

So, it's the exact opposite of what he. promised. But, it's not only that. As. Heather Long notes, Americans are. getting squeezed right now in other. ways. They're not able to save anything. at all. The personal savings rate for. Americans has dipped below 3%, one of. the lowest readings in the past 15. years. People are dipping into their. savings in order to survive. Personal. savings rates for May 2025, 4.9%. Personal savings rate for May 2026, 3%.

and there's been this downward trend. And you saw you may have heard about. this that Apple has announced that all. of its. all of its pri- products. will be having massive price hikes. Mac. World reports Apple is implementing. significant price hikes across Macs and. iPads, at least $100 to $200. The Mac. Mini rising to $799 from $599. The iPod.

Air increasing by $150. Some of its other MacBook Pros. increasing significant amounts, hundreds. of dollars. Why? Because of massive. inflation. The price of chips are. increasing as well. That's AI inflation, data center inflation, while these. companies try to make record profits, and the consumers are the ones who are. getting screwed right now. US petroleum. inventories, you know, what they have in.

we keep them in Oklahoma and other and. the international inventories continues. to deplete. US petroleum inventories. depleted by another 10 million barrels. and have fallen a total of 151 million. barrels since the US and Israel attacked. Iran at the end of February. This is. still happening because what Trump and. Rubio was saying happening in the Strait. of Hormuz is not happening. So, when you. see the price of Brent, $72.53,

it's BS. It's market manipulation. It's. pure and simple market manipulation. And. then, when the oligarchs have somebody. in office who wants to hold them. accountable, they manipulate the markets. and they say, "Well, the market. expectations are going to make it so. that we don't have to jack up our. prices. Then we'll take the record. prices." So, they figure that someone. like Trump gives them massive tax. breaks, massive, you know, other. benefits, massive other kind of.

subsidies for them. And so, they'll go, "Okay, we'll lower we'll lower it." Then. when it's someone who holds them. accountable, then they raise the prices. and then they blame it on it's the. market expectations of instability. Really market expectations of. instability because it seems like the. expectation should be pretty high right. now of instability based on a. catastrophic war in the current. condition of the straight of war moves. I'll note a few other things as well on. the instability. Netanyahu giving a speech earlier. There are still tasks we must carry out.

There are still much more we must do. against Iran. There is still much more. we must do against Hamas. There is still. much more we must do in Lebanon. It's. his speech. He ain't going anywhere. He ain't going anywhere. They have. demanded in these Lebanese ceasefire. talks more land in Lebanon. They go, "In. the south, that is our security zone, but we need to go even more. We need. pilot zones. Pilot zones and security. zones. So, we're going to basically take. it all over." Now, that's what they're.

that's what they're asking. And the. Lebanese like, "We thought we were here. to discuss a ceasefire. Now you want. more land in Lebanon? You want pilot. zones and security zones? What are we. even doing?" That's what's happening. with those discussions. Israel's defense. minister, his name is Israel Katz, his. first name is Israel, says, "We are not. allowing civilian populations to return. to Lebanon. More than that, the first. line of villages inside the security. zone has been completely destroyed. We. completed it. 100% destruction.".

That's what you're bragging about? You're bragging about genocide? You're. bragging about annihilation? Really? I mean, that's what that's what. they said this morning. Um you have J.D. Vance out there. Um this was from. Unheard. Uh and so Rob Ammar did a great. job reporting on this. This is what he. quoted J.D. Vance as telling him after. leaving Switzerland. The Emirates, by. far the most hawkish, by far the most.

pro-Israel country in the Gulf. They're. having conversations with the Iranians. that have never happened before, including with the IRGC. Yeah, because. they don't trust you anymore. They they they they need to reconcile. with Iran because the US security. umbrella is over. And maybe it's also. statements like this, J.D. This is what. J.D. told Soraya Boumghar Romri. The. Iranians were like, "Fine. Fine. We'll. send somebody from the IRGC to hang out. in Doha with someone from CENTCOM. And.

that's how we're going to settle a lot. of these disputes." J.D. Vance said. aboard Air Force Two. "Fine. We'll. >> [clears throat]. >> We'll send our IRG. If you really want. them to hang out with CENTCOM, we'll. send it. Fine." That's how J.D. Vance, who says he's not really familiar with. the whole diplomatic thing, while Rubio. refuses to show up as well. And that's. how things are going right now. While. While we have Tiffany Trump's. husband or boyfriend or whatever. um. hang hanging out at our diplomatic.

meetings and Kushner uh and the while. Kushner's trying to raise $5 billion. from his fund. That's what's going on this morning. That's the facts. That's the data. Do. with it what you want, but those are. That's what's called facts. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching. Want to stay. plugged in? Become a subscriber to our.
