Transcript [00:00] [laughter] [00:01] >> What a roller coaster, huh? Try to make [00:03] sense of this. Wow, I mean, wow. These [00:07] devastating level strikes, these huge [00:10] exceptionally large strikes, the likes [00:12] of which supposedly the world has not [00:15] seen since World War II got paused, [00:18] canceled, and supposedly requests came [00:21] in from Saudi Arabia, from Qatar, from [00:24] from United Arab Emirates, from Iran to [00:26] please hold off on the devastating [00:29] strikes, [00:30] and instead talks will happen on Monday [00:33] afternoon. They're scheduled to focus on [00:35] Strait of Hormuz, ending Iranian [00:37] restrictions on the all the [00:39] international shipping, [00:40] addressing this rogue nuclear program [00:43] that is endangering the world. And so, [00:46] Trump had said the Gulf allies believed [00:47] that an agreement could happen that [00:49] could save many, many lives. [00:52] Um [00:53] but you know, wow, it is it is just [00:56] rough. I mean, some here think that Iran [00:59] will never give up their nuclear [01:00] ambitions. They want to be the big head [01:02] honcho. They want to be the bully of the [01:04] the whole Middle East. They want to be [01:05] the boss. [01:06] And so, this is the second time, you [01:09] know, in a week that a major strike like [01:11] this has happened. I don't know how [01:13] people can work like this. How can you [01:14] keep operational readiness? How can you [01:17] uh do, you know, be ready for missions [01:20] with last-minute cancellations [01:21] disrupting all the planning, disrupting [01:23] everything? It's certainly hard to live [01:26] like this, and I I don't know how we're [01:28] going to see this through, but you know, [01:30] there's there's always a positive [01:32] outlook on this. There's always [01:33] something good. Keeping, you know, the [01:35] energy prices high, [01:37] I mean, keeping the [01:39] what you call it, [01:40] the pressure on them [01:42] is always uh important. Keep their [01:44] Keep their economy under pressure. Keep [01:46] them um [01:47] uh keep the strait open, Strait of [01:49] Hormuz open. Uh prevent energy prices [01:51] from rising any further. [01:53] Um it could be actually beneficial [01:55] because they're losing oil revenue [01:58] totally and uh the threat of renewed [02:01] American military action along with [02:02] Israel is discouraging businesses from [02:05] dealing with Tehran dealing with Iran [02:08] and you know they haven't received the [02:11] financial relief they wanted they were [02:12] saying give it to us now give it to us [02:14] before we do anything that's good just [02:16] give us all this relief money and this [02:19] time time is a weapon you know and so [02:23] Iran has said they're willing to nego- [02:25] tiate before but they are not willing to [02:27] actually [02:29] you know make an agreement on the things [02:30] that matter like their nuclear [02:32] weapon that they're trying to build and [02:34] all that and they say well we'll talk [02:35] about it later and a final agreement [02:37] will be reached later [02:38] and I know that Saudi Arabia is is [02:41] saying that we need to have negotiations [02:43] and and all that but at the same time [02:45] they're seeing that without the without [02:47] proper military pressure we'll never [02:50] have safety here we'll never have [02:51] security security for those shipping [02:53] vessels those oil facilities the [02:55] infrastructure can all be hit by Iran [02:57] around they're very dangerous and so the [03:00] US blockade continues and they continue [03:02] to say you know [03:04] they're going to watch over the Arabian [03:05] Sea there they're going to US Marine [03:08] Corps they have got the F-35C's launched [03:10] from the USS Abraham Lincoln [03:13] and making sure to redirect they [03:16] redirected just now 35 commercial [03:18] vessels disabled two more vessels [03:20] boarded two more vessels [03:22] there's a tanker on fire near Oman [03:25] and so like we got to realize this [03:27] without doubling down without finishing [03:29] the job it's not just going to wrap up [03:31] on its own three additional tanker [03:34] attacks have been reported since [03:36] Saturday you get this imagine if you're [03:38] bringing your tanker through and you [03:39] need that gas they're talking about you [03:41] know shutting down the Bab el-Mandeb [03:43] Strait there with the Houthis so far [03:45] they've they the Saudi oil has [03:47] successfully crossed through there they [03:48] haven't been able to do that and oil [03:50] prices are dropping because you know [03:53] because guess what crude oil fell to 5.1 [03:58] fell approximately 5.1% [04:01] to $83.44 [04:03] per barrel US crude oil fell [04:06] 5.8% to 79 [04:09] dollars and $0.77 per barrel so you know [04:13] prices have been going up and down and [04:16] same thing with Hezbollah we need to [04:18] make sure to um to defeat them and I [04:21] know that there's this lie they just put [04:23] out because five Lebanese Army soldiers [04:24] were lightly wounded when their vehicle [04:26] drove over an explosion and near near [04:28] Kafar in southern Lebanon and so some of [04:31] the Lebanese said that's the Lebanese [04:34] Army said that is Israel did that and [04:36] it's a suspicious object and IDF was [04:38] like no no soldiers have been in that [04:40] area it didn't belong to Israel that's [04:42] the Hezbollah work they're the ones [04:44] doing that when you wonder what goes [04:45] wrong in Gaza it's because of Hamas okay [04:48] Palestinian Islamic Jihad PDFLP [04:52] so there was a person there that's [04:53] that's we're continuing to take out [04:56] there and that could be a point of [04:57] stress cuz we're continuing to take out [04:59] their high-ranking military wing leaders [05:03] Americans are saying but hey how can we [05:05] negotiate with them over [05:06] demilitarization and them giving up [05:08] their weapon do you think and I'd love [05:10] to hear in the comments below do you [05:11] really think that Hezbollah or Hamas or [05:14] the Houthis do you think or Iran do you [05:16] think anyone's going to give up their [05:17] weapons ever ever in the negotiations [05:19] ever do you think that's going to happen [05:21] I'd highly doubt it but I'd like to know [05:23] in the comments what you think I read [05:25] those comments you know please write in [05:26] the comments what you think and I mean [05:29] we've got to take out the the threat and [05:33] we're not going to be not afraid to be [05:34] strong and valiant in battle Exodus [05:37] chapter 15 verse 3 talks about that it [05:39] says the God of Israel Elohe El [05:43] he is a man of war
