Trump PANICS and DECLARES CEASEFIRE VIOLATION!!!
Donald Trump is spiraling all morning as. Iran's Navy continues to issue warnings. to Donald Trump, to Israel, to foreign. ships that think they'll be able to get. through the Strait of Hormuz without. IRGC Navy. Iran has made it clear, just. like that Singaporean cargo ship. yesterday, that Iran was able to shoot. and disable. Iran will continue to do. that unless you get permission from the. IRGC to go through the Strait of Hormuz.
We're hearing that multiple. vessels have turned around and are now. seeking IRGC permission. It seems that. Donald Trump this morning, for the first. time, is now acknowledging that Iran was. able to shoot at and disable that. Singaporean cargo vessel yesterday. Here's what Donald Trump just posted. The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at. least four one-way attack drones at. ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz.
One of the drones solidly hit the upper. deck of a large and very expensive cargo. carrying ship. Damage was done, but the. ship was able to proceed on its way. We. knocked down three other drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation. of our ceasefire agreement. Donald J. Trump. Notably, CENTCOM did not. acknowledge this yesterday. Donald Trump. did not acknowledge this yesterday. Donald Trump gave that tirade speech to. farmers where he said that Iran no. longer has a uh Navy and that US.
controls the Strait of Hormuz. And. Donald Trump is also lying by saying. that the cargo ship was able to continue. out of the Strait of Hormuz. That is. false. Then Donald Trump just started. panic posting. Other polls have my. approval at 65% and more. Like. journalists, honest pollsters are very. rare and hard to find. And he claims. that his approval 65%. His approval. right now is 30% and it's heading into. the 20s. Then he's posting this morning,
"For all of those who like to say that. Barack Hussein Obama and his vice. president Sleepy Joe Biden did as many. criminal ice removals as President. Trump, the figures are just in. Number. one, they included hundreds of thousands. of people that never came close to. getting into our country." What are you. talking about this morning? Then he. attacks European countries and he says. he's going to tariff them 100% if they. apply their digital service tax on. American companies. "Numerous European countries have been.
discussing the imminent implementation. of the digital services tax. Some of. these countries are close to actually. doing this. Please let this statement. serve to represent that any country who. imposes such a tax will immediately be. met with a 100% tariff." Nobody takes. you seriously anymore, Donald. You. threaten on social media, ceasefire. violation, 100% tariff, this and that. You tank the economy, you destroy uh. global stability, then you back down, you put America in a weaker position.
than ever before. And just like that uh. state fair that you're doing right now. in Washington, D.C., that's a complete. disaster and nobody is attending, you. can't accomplish the most basic tasks, yet alone anything that has some degree. of complexity. And now we're also. learning this morning, although we've. been reporting about it for some time, it's visual confirmation from this Wall. Street Journal investigation about how. the Iranian missiles and drone attacks.
during the war caused major damages to. all of the US airbases in the Middle. East, such that the United States is. basically thinking now about abandoning. its military bases in the region. Major. damage was caused to the US Navy's base. in Bahrain, including the Fifth Fleet. Headquarters, communication facilities, warehouses, and support buildings, which. the Pentagon was covering up. Um the. Pentagon's like, "Yeah, it's minimal. vulnerabilities. Everything's going.
well.". Uh the damage at Bahrain alone is. estimated to cost about $400 million to. rebuild, while the total damage to US. bases is likely in the $2 billion range. Look at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. You can. see right here uh the airbase in the. United Arab Emirates, Al Dhafra. You can. see Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi. Arabia. All of the US bases in the. region were obliterated. Oh, by the way, you remember yesterday when Marco Rubio.
said uh yeah, Oman says that they're not. going to be. um allowing any tolls or fees to be. charged for ships that go through the. Strait of Hormuz. Oman has told us that. No, Oman has actually said the opposite. Oman has been warning European allies. that the Strait of Hormuz will not. return to its pre-war status quo, signaling potential new transit fees for. ships. Iran's Iran and Oman have formed.
this joint uh uh toll operation that has. announced they will be charging. And so, yesterday, you had Foreign Minister. Araghchi of Iran speak with uh the. Foreign Minister of Oman. They confirmed. this is what we reported here. And yes, Rubio, when he was there in the Middle. East, was once again lying. Shocker. The. Trump regime basically views the MOU as. something to be manipulated, lied about, and changed. They don't view it as a. deal. Iran knows that, that's why Iran's.
making sure it extracts its benefits. under the deal first. Here is what Rubio. said yesterday, which was directly. contradicted by what Oman has said. yesterday and today. Here, let's play. this clip. >> is the current bilateral relationship. with Oman now in a good place? Are And. are you convinced they're not playing. games with respect to that issue? >> I mean, our relationship with Oman 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. >> do have to ask cuz it's just a few weeks. ago. >> And so, just so you see how the Trump. regime is behaving and how their kind of. sycophant on Capitol Hill are behaving, this is MAGA Republican Congressman Mark. Alford, and he's kind of regurgitating. these Trump regime lines, and CNN asks. him, "So, you know, the MOU says this, the MOU says that." To which the MAGA. Republican Congressman says, "Yeah, but.
the MOU really isn't a deal. It's like a. framework. It's like a starting point. for negotiations." Wrong. Wrong. It is a. binding, short-form agreement with. obligations, and the long form is not a new. negotiation. It is the implementation of. the terms of the MOU. The new terms. aren't going to contradict it. What this. whole process has exposed, I think, which we've all known, is that Trump,
MAGA, and all of these people, they are. predators. They lie about everything. They don't keep to their word. They. never keep to contracts. They never keep. to deals. All it is is a massive. manipulation gambit to steal and to loot. from all of us. That's their plan. Just. watch what Alford has to say. Play this. clip. >> Um the memorandum itself says that after. this negotiating period, Oman and Iran.
will get together to figure out how to. administer. the strait. How do you feel about Iran. administering the Strait of Hormuz? >> It doesn't excite me one bit, And that's. why this uh MOU is a framework. It is an. outline. If you were writing a story, John, you would start with an outline. and then the negotiations fill in the. details and start writing the script. That's what the. the State Department along with our. negotiators are doing. And again, I'm.
trusting the process. Look, we are much. better off than we were a year and a. week ago. It was just this week we. had the first anniversary of the strike. from Whiteman Air Force Base in my. district, the B-2 stealth bombers. I was here in New York with you right. before that and we were talking about. this. And we are much better in a much better. position trying to make sure that Iran. never has a nuclear weapon. It's going. to take a little more work. We're going.
to get there, but I'm trusting the. process. >> I will say a year ago the Strait of. Hormuz was open and had been open. Now it's tenuous. So it's a little bit. different there. Congressman. >> And by the way, Alford's. new line, this is the official. Republican position right now. Now I. showed you this video earlier this. morning, right? Where J.D. Vance said, "There's a bit of a renaissance right. now of Richard Nixon. People are looking. back and saying the crimes that Nixon. committed weren't really crimes and they. wouldn't even make a dent in the.
modern-day news cycle with everything. going on with Donald Trump. What was so. bad about Watergate and Nixon's behavior. and cover-up? So could we just get past. that? Nixon is our North Star, not. Reagan anymore." That's what Remember. what J.D. Vance said? That's what the. Republicans are now echoing today. That. Watergate was not a big deal. Watch. Congressman Alford play this clip. >> Well, look, John, I was actually a young. child and watched the Watergate hearings. while the rest of my family was enjoying. pitching washers at our family reunion.
outside. That's how much I was into it. But you. got to remember back then, I think the. the the point that the Vice President. was making is that now we live in an age. of information where we are bombarded. daily, hourly, instantly on our phones. and through CNN and other. news outlets. And the stories that are breaking every. day. Look at the release of the Tulsi. Gabbard files right before she left. That didn't get a lot of play and yet. there's some substantive things even if.
you don't believe that those things. actually happened with uh Fauci that. need to be investigated, that need to be. discussed in the American zeitgeist. Uh. but we are moving so rapidly that a. story like Watergate, I don't think. would last as long as it did back in the. 1970s when I was a young child. >> But what we hear a lot of these MAGA. Republicans doing now is what we hear. from Carlos Gimenez, MAGA Republican. from Florida. And he's like, you know,
these Democrats, they're not just. socialist, they're fascist. They're like. the Nazis right now. That's what they're. like. Yeah. So, as we head to the. midterms, these MAGA Republicans shut. down the House of Representatives, right? I mean, we don't have a. functioning house. It's basically the. functional equivalent of the Russian. Duma. And now we get the fearmongering, the division, you know, the all of these. attacks when the Trump regime with ICE. and Border Patrol Gestapo, I mean, it's. literally the SS that they brought us. I. mean, look at your behavior, right? And.
here they play play this clip of. Congressman Gimenez so you can hear for. yourself. Let's play. >> By the way, what's happening in New. York? Um and those supposed Democrat. socialists, no, they're not. They're. actually fascists wrapped around. socialism. And there's some images. coming out of New York that are. frightening to me. Things that I've. seen, you know, I've seen images like. that, you know, back in the '30s in. Germany. And so, this is what's happening now to. the. >> Also, you get to see that, you know, no. country takes the United States. seriously anymore. North Korea bragging.
about its nuclear arsenal and testing. its upgraded artillery and missile. systems. Remember under former President. Obama when North Korean Kim Jong-un. would do like a missile test, it would. be like, "Man, doesn't that show how. weak Obama is?" And that would be like a. major story. Now they brag about their. nuclear arsenal and you know, you don't. hear a peep from the media. And you've. got J.D. Vance bragging that, "What we. do on every single day is not even. anywhere near Watergate. Nobody cares. about it anymore." Here you have. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie.
saying that one ironic thing about this. Trump regime saying that there's all. this election fraud out there, "Republicans, we control every branch of. government." Here is true. Here, play. this clip. >> I'll vote for the SAVE Act, but I think. it's a distraction from our real. problems. I think it's ironic that we. control the House, the Senate, the. Supreme Court, and the White House, and. we're yelling election fraud. I mean, we. won all the damn elections. >> And then of course, you have the MAGA. Republican senators like David McCormick.
out there basically saying, you know, you know, the reason why the economy's. not doing good right now on June 26th, 2. years into the Trump regime Biden, we. inherited we inherited something that. was so bad. No, you actually inherited a. Goldilocks economy with a manufacturing. boom and things were heading in the. right direction. Watch what he has to. say. Let's play this clip. >> A lot of people don't really realize. what a horrible economy Trump inherited. >> Terrible. >> Highest inflation in 40 years. We could. go on and on. So it's going to be tough.
Now I want to drill down a little bit. more on Iran. Because. >> Also, you have Iran's top joint military. command in the IRGC saying that military. aircraft belonging to Israel had been. operating through the airspace of some. neighboring countries, calling the. movement a dangerous act and a threat. against the Islamic Republic. It said. that if the United States was unable to. restrain Israel, Iran would not tolerate. any threat against itself and reserve. the right to respond to those actions.
Also, you had Iran's Deputy Minister. Garabadi, right, "Safe passage through. the Strait of Hormuz with ambiguous. arrangements, parallel routes, or. decision-making outside of Iran's. considerations as the coastal states. cannot be guaranteed. Any credible. framework must be based on coordination. with Iran and the provisions of the. paragraph five of the Islamabad. Memorandum of Understanding. Otherwise, the outcome will be the suspension of. the designated parallel route.". Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 7.
