🚨WH CRIES UNCLE After IRAN OVERNIGHT STRIKES..

The White House is frozen after Iran's. latest threats. Now, Iran made good on. its prior threats by striking in Kuwait, in Jordan, in the UAE over the past 48. hours, damaging US military bases. Iran's also struck multiple tankers in. the Strait of Hormuz. But now, earlier. today, the parliament leader and top. civilian official in Iran, MB Galibaf, making a cryptic threat directed at. Treasury Secretary Bessin saying, "You.

are here, cutie." And take a look right. here. You've got Wile E. Coyote chasing. the Road Runner falling off the cliff. right there. And look at top what MB. Galibaf writes. He has this code, which. is basically code for the 10-year. Treasury yields, the oil futures, the. Department of Energy's Strategic. Petroleum Reserves. And MB Galibaf of. Iran taunting Bessin and the Trump.

regime about just how close the United. States is to the ultimate catastrophe of. quite literally destroying the salt. caverns at Bryan Mound in Texas, where. we keep our strategic petroleum. reserves. In other words, Iran saying, "We're monitoring what you're doing in. those salt caverns over there. You're. drawing so much from the Strategic. Petroleum Reserves, which are literally. in salt caverns. You're about to like. crash the caverns. It's about to. literally implode." And so, this is what.

MB Galibaf writes. "Short harder, champ, like your career depends on it, because. it does. Or drain below the danger zone. and watch your caverns collapse along. with your career. Or pray to the salt. gods of Bryan Mound. The world's already. got its popcorn." And you see the photo. right there of Bessin falling off the. cliff. And it's "You are here, cutie.". And it just shows the extent of their. knowledge that they have in Iran of the.

US strategic petroleum reserves, which. are in Brian Mound. That's the area in. Texas. And they're also aware that I've. been calling this out that Treasury. Secretary Bessen has launched a massive. market manipulation scheme to short the. crude market, which is now no longer. working. All of his schemes have. backfired in his face. The price of. crude approaching $100 a barrel. The. spot price of diesel $250.

a barrel. That crack spread at record. highs right now. And Iran continues to. taunt the Trump regime. Look at what. they just posted right here. They said, "Habibi, Uncle Sam, come to Iran. Come. to Iran. We got you." And this is after. more tankers have been hit in the Strait. of Hormuz while the Trump regime lies. and says, "We've cleared all the mines. It's safe to leave." No, it ain't. Here, play this clip.

So, overnight to recap, Iran attacked. the Al Dhafra Air Base in Kuwait and the. Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE with. missiles and drones. Previously, they. also struck Erbil. in Iraq. And they also struck Bahrain. There's been no comment from CENTCOM as. of this CENTCOM hasn't responded to. Iran's retaliatory operations from the.

previous day as Donald Trump threatened. it would be immediate and swift. If. CENTCOM doesn't conduct strikes tonight, it will further highlight how the US. military is unwilling and unable to even. engage in another tit-for-tat round. This one account notes. Also, reports. are widely circulating that as I'm. recording this video, Yemen's Sirallah, the Houthis advancing towards areas held. by the Saudi-backed Yemeni government. forces in the direction of Al Mokha. right there. That's the kind of.

remaining stronghold by the Saudi-backed. government. You can see it right there. by the Bab el-Mandab Strait. The Houthis. control all the other territory and they. are advancing very quickly. They're of. course part of the axis of resistance. backed by Iran. So, with all of this. taking place, J.D. Vance is now filling. in for Caroline Leavitt as she is no. longer part of the Trump regime. She. resigned and this presser by J.D. Vance. was an absolute disaster. It was a train.

wreck. J.D. Vance said, "I'm looking at. you, Iran. My advice to you, stop acting. like crazy people, Iran." Really? You. and Netanyahu invaded their country and. you're telling them to stop acting like. crazy people? Here, let's play this clip. right here. >> It started. So, my advice to the. Iranians is stop acting like crazy. people and stop shooting at commercial. shipping. And in the meantime, we've got. to do what we've got to do despite what. a foreign country is going to do in the. Strait of Hormuz. >> More from this press conference right.

here. Reporter asked J.D. Vance on Iran, "Will the war be over by the midterms?". And J.D. Vance is like, "It's not even a. war. It's like maybe a skirmish. We. don't even call it a war." Really? Because it looks like a lot of war. things have been happening, J.D., in the. past 48 hours. Here, play this clip. >> With Iran, will this war be over by the. time of the midterm elections? >> Well, Caitlin, again, I I don't. I wouldn't call it a war. Right now, there is no active shooting. I recognize. there is there have been. places where this has flared up. Uh.

major combat operations, again, major. combat operations lasted for about 6. weeks. And since then, we destroyed, of. course, their nuclear facilities with. midnight. >> More from J.D. Vance over here. J.D. Vance said, "You're asking me when the. Iranians will stop shooting at ships? I. don't know the answer to any of these. questions. Okay, JD, great press. conference you're holding right here. Here, let's play this clip. >> But when you ask, "When will this end?". you're asking me a question like, "When. will the Iranians stop shooting at. ships?" I think the reality is I don't.

know the answer to that question. You. would have to ask the Iranians. When. will the Iranian shooting at ships stop. having an effect on world energy. markets? And the answer is it has less. effect day by day. So, what we're going. to do is not depend on the Iranians. behaving responsibly or negotiating in. good faith. What we're going to do is. use the tools that we have at our. disposal to ensure that the American. people, one, never have to deal with the. threat of an Iranian nuclear program, and two, the world energy markets are properly.

supplied. >> JD Vance JD Vance then said JD Vance. then says, "You know, we also think it's. important to note that the Iranians are. not disrupting the lives of the American. people at all. I think it's quite. limited." Really, you think it's quite. limited? I mean, perhaps if you want to. if your claim is it's actually Donald. Trump who's destroyed the lives of the. American people by invading Iran, but. this catastrophic war has caused gas. prices to rise dramatically, diesel. prices to rise dramatically, the price. of groceries to drive to rise. dramatically, the Treasury yields to.

rise dramatically. What world are you. living in, JD? Clearly not the planet. Earth of where the United States of. America is based on. You may You may be. just too busy in golden ballroom, Club. Mar-a-Lago, etc. Here, play this clip. >> You know, if if you look at the Iranian. ability to disrupt the normal lives of. of Americans, I think it's quite. limited. It's not zero, but it's quite. limited. I'd be much more worried about. cyber attacks from other actors, but. again, we're doing everything that we. can to stay ahead of this stuff. >> More from JD Vance right here, and he.

says if it wasn't for our leadership, we. would have an international energy. crisis right now. Watch what JD says. Let's play this clip. >> worldwide energy crisis. I can't repeat. this enough. But for the leadership of. President Trump and the hard work of our. troops, we would have had an energy. crisis because the Iranians refused to. stop acting like terrorists in the. Strait of Hormuz. >> Then J.D. Vance blames European. countries for high gas prices. Let's. watch it. >> Frankly, the ridiculous. atrophy that we saw in our European.

allies and their inability to actually. do anything to help keep world energy. markets supplied. So, when the Iranians. shoot at commercial shipping, obviously. that means some ships don't want to go. through. A lot of ships have gone. through. We got about 15 million barrels. out of the Strait of Hormuz just. yesterday, despite the fact that the. Iranians continue to ship or continue to. shoot, I should say. What has anybody in. the world done? >> More from J.D. Vance saying that the. reason gas prices are so high is because. the Iranians keep shooting at commercial. ships. Yeah, J.D., cuz there's a war.

Cuz there's a war. And I know you want. to pretend that there isn't. There's a. war. They control the Strait of Hormuz. But I thought you said it wasn't a war. I thought you said that they're having. limited impact. I thought you said. things are going great and that there's. not an energy crisis. What the hell are. you talking about? I mean, do we all. He's saying words, but these are the. dumbest words imaginable. Here, play. this clip. >> And the fundamental reality is that the. reason gas prices are so high right now. is because the Iranians are shooting at. commercial shipping. Even by the way, when they signed an agreement that said,

"We're going to stop shooting at. commercial shipping," they almost. immediately went back to shooting at. commercial shipping. And I actually. think that this drives home a couple of. points. Number one, it's why things like. the Venezuela oil deal are so important. is. >> And then he attacks the Biden. administration and says, "The reason the. strategic petroleum reserves are. depleted, it's because Biden did it. Biden's fault." Again, so utterly. pathetic. Let's play it. >> So, as a lot of you know, and I think. even some of the uh the more liberal. outlets in here had talked about, we had. for a very long time the Biden.

administration draining the strategic. petroleum reserve purely for the purpose. of lowering gas and oil costs. There. wasn't an international crisis, there. wasn't, you know, a foreign nation that. was trying to disrupt world energy. markets. There was just an. administration that was trying to juice. gas prices for the midterms. And what. that meant is for Americans, our. strategic petroleum reserve under the. administration got extraordinarily low. Well, now we're. >> JD Vance says, we've been actually very. quite successful when it comes to energy. prices.

Gas, frankly, could be much higher. That's your pitch? Their pitch going. into the midterms, folks, is it could be. higher. I know you're suffering, but it. could be much higher. Here, play this. clip. >> to a worldwide energy crisis. Now, we've. been quite successful up to this point. Gas, frankly, could have been much, much. higher were it not for our efforts, but. I'm not going to make a promise about. when it's going to return to $3. >> More from JD Vance over here saying, we're not even going to talk to the. Iranians right now until they stop. shooting at the ships. That's very, very. mature, JD. That's you are a scholar and.

quite the negotiator, JD. Here, play. this clip right here. >> point about negotiations. The. president's been very clear. We're not. talking to them, and we're not going to. talk to them unless they stop shooting. at commercial shipping. >> Then JD Vance praises China, which China just voted at the G20. finance summit to block the US proposal. regarding these Strait of Hormuz, and Xi. Jinping helped host the Shanghai. Cooperation Organization meeting that. just took place, where Iran was a major.

factor, a major player at this meeting. in Bishkek, in Kyrgyzstan. Um and Xi. Jinping is currently in Egypt, and uh Xi. Jinping set out a new vision for a new. security umbrella, a new security. architecture in the Middle East with the. United States gone. But, okay, JD, just. don't pay attention to world events. Cool dude. Here, play this clip. >> at the expense of everybody else. Say. what you will about them, they are not. the sort of nation that shoots at. commercial shipping because they're not. getting their way in an international.

dispute. They are, in that way, I think, willing to be a little bit more. responsible. Again, I'm not saying. they're doing everything that we've. asked them to do, but I think that the. PRC has been much more responsible, certainly than the Iranians, and much. more responsible than a couple of other. nations as well. But, it's not just the. PRC. >> More from J.D. Vance over here says, and. I got to tell you, we're the most. transparent administration in history. Here, play this clip. >> have a lot of access um in in in the in. the months and years to come just as the.

traditional media does. And I do think, you know, not to uh not to brag on my. boss too much, but I I do think the. president has set us about to be the. most transparent administration in. history. And we have done that with. flying colors. If you just look back to. the last administration, I mean, even. the Democrats in the room, and I know. you guys, if you're being honest, most. of you are Democrats, you would have to. admit that the level of access, the. level of access to the president of the. United States, the vice president, the. senior team here, it's just completely. off the charts. Now, why does the.

president do that? He doesn't do it just. because, you know, he wants to or it's. fun, though I think he definitely has a. little bit of fun with it. He does it. because he believes that part of. governing a constitutional republic is. to make yourselves accessible to the. American people. So, we do that, and. we're going to do that with. non-traditional media, we'll continue to. do it with traditional media, and that. will certainly be a big part of our. approach as we uh continue to govern the. country, and I think govern it well. Great. >> Quite the opposite. J.D. Vance then. claims that last night the US brought in. 15 million barrels of oil through the.

Strait of Hormuz because of the good old. USA. Donald Trump posted on social. media, it was 18 million barrels. They're just making up numbers. The. truth is, the number's probably closer. to 4 to 5 million barrels. Um it's a. fraction of what took place before this. catastrophic war started. It's why we're. seeing the price of oil go up to $100 a. barrel. Literally, we've drained our strategic. petroleum reserves so that these salt. caverns are about to literally collapse. Um, but listen to what J.D. said. Play.

this clip. >> Last night, 15 million barrels came out. of the Strait of Hormuz. That's because. of the United States of America. And if. we don't do it, nobody else would do it. And if nobody else did it, we would have. a catastrophic world energy crisis. And. our message to the Iranians is. >> I just want you to know what I what I'm. talking about salt caverns. I don't want. to confuse you. So in Texas and. Louisiana, we have these strategic. petroleum reserves. They're quite. literally salt caverns. And we put this. mixture of. water and crude in these salt caverns.

and it's stored there. It has to be the. right type of crude, like the Venezuelan. crude won't go into these salt caverns. And the way these caverns are. constructed naturally from nature and. the way we've gone in there, at some. point, if they hit a certain threshold, the actual caverns themselves can. collapse from within. I mean, if you. just think about very basic kind of. geological science stuff, it just. collapses. And so we're getting so close.

to. uh it reaching a point where it. literally may collapse. Um, and like implode. Um, and which is. ironic, right? Because Donald Trump was. claiming that the way Iran was storing. its oil, um, remember this was April, that they. had 3 days left to live as a country. This was their lie. Be the be the pipes. would get so congested with oil, it. would literally explode. That's what. they said in April. Obviously, that. didn't happen. It was a lie. But it's. actually what could happen to our salt. caverns very very very soon. Um, J.D.

Vance is then asked about these. Republicans who are not showing up to. the midterm convention. There's like 40. or 50 that we know of not showing up. This is going to be a massive. humiliation. Trump's midterm Republican. convention in Texas, no one wants to be. there. Watch what J.D. said J.D. says. when he was asked about it here. Play. this clip right here. >> We don't need a congressman in a tight. race to be there in all cases. Sometimes. it might be better if that guy's out. there raising money, but I think people. are going to make a determination. What. is the best way for me to spend my time. as a candidate? Fundamentally, the.

president and I get one vote each, just. like every other American. And what we. want is every person in a tight race to. go out there and make the best case they. can to their constituents so they can. get reelected and so we can do more good. for the American people. That's the. goal. Caitlyn. >> I know very, very embarrassing indeed. Just two more clips I want to show you. J.D. Vance over here. was asked, well, Treasury Secretary Buttigieg promised $3. gas by this time after Labor Day. Is Are we even going to get $3 gas in. 2027? J.D.'s like, he never promised it.

He just said it. It wasn't a promise. That's what J.D.'s That's what J.D. says. here. Play this clip. >> Mr. Vice President, on July 2nd, Treasury Secretary Buttigieg. was asked when Americans could see $3. gas again. He said maybe by Labor Day. Things haven't worked out that way, but. do you have a new timetable for. Americans on when they could expect. lower gas prices? And should they not. expect to see $3 gas again until at. least. >> Then J.D. Vance is asked about.

Should midterm voters blame Republicans? And he goes, no, blame Biden. Let's play. this clip. >> Well, I'd say a few things. First of. all, if you look at how endemic. inflation became during the Biden. administration, and this is not to to cast blame because. I don't really care who's to blame for. it. I care about how to fix it and. that's what we've been working to do. So, inflation under the last. administration hit a record high of. about 9.5%. and it's funny during the 2024 campaign.

the president and I would say, this is. the highest inflation in American. history. And people would come back and. say, no, no, no, it's not the highest. inflation in American history, it's just. the highest inflation in the last 60 or. the last 48 years. It's like, well, that's still very, very bad. >> And then finally, J.D. Vance explains. why he will be attending the Manhattan. 9/11 ceremony and not Donald Trump and. then he makes fun of Biden. He somehow. answers a 9/11 question by mocking Biden. and he says, "I'm sure I'll have. intellectual conversations with Biden.". And then J.D. says that like he's.

looking forward to the 9/11 event. Like. he almost thinks the event's going to be. fun. Like listen to what he says. It's. like a sick answer that he gives. Here, play this clip. >> I wanted to ask you, why are you going. to New York on 9/11 instead of the. president? Is because it's the 20th. anniversary? Is there some special. security concern? We know the. president's been a target before. >> Um I No, I don't think it's a special. security concern. Though, actually, I. will will follow up with Secret Service. just to get you an actual answer on. that, but that's not what I've heard. I. mean, you know, you have a a vice. president, you have a president and. there are two very frankly, we'd like to.

be three or four places on 9/11, but you. can't have one person be in multiple. locations at the exact same time. And. so, we just decided as a team that I. would go to New York for 9/11 and the. president would stay here in D.C. of. course to commemorate what happened at. the Pentagon cuz that was a critical. part of of the tragedy of 9/11 as well. I I will say that as much as it's it's. tragic and it was a terrible day, I am. looking forward to it because it's such. an amazing honor to be able to get to go. to New York and to share in that moment,

you know, where the the the parents and. the kids read the names of the people. who lost their lives. I I did it once. before, I think during the 2024. campaign. It's one of the most amazing. experiences of my life and I encourage. every American, particularly the people. who are young enough to not really. remember that day, just to tune in for a. couple of hours and see what it meant. and I think that sense of commonality. and common purpose that we all had on. 9/11, that's something that we should. really try every single day to get back. to and if you even just for a day, even. if just for a few hours, I would.

encourage people to tune in. I'm also, as you guys can probably guess, I'm. really looking forward to hanging out. with Joe Biden. I'm sure that we'll have. many many intense intellectual. conversations and um, you know, it'll be. great. We'll have a great time with Joe. Biden and the other presidents. Go ahead. real sicko.
