MUST WATCH: Hegseth DESTROYED by New Report

Alright, well it's Tuesday. You know what that means?

What does it mean?

It's Taco Tuesday.

Pfft.

Ha.

Sucks, right? Trump's been... So, Donald Trump has obviously been all over the map on this, but here's a few of his most recent comments on his plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after the war he started later on to close it, causing the worst oil shock in history, which we are currently living through.

Let's listen.

What about the Stratford Moose?

Who's going to be in control of that?

That will be opened very soon, if this works.

How soon?

And who is in control of it?

Will Iran still be able to control the flow of oil?

Be jointly controlled.

By whom?

Maybe me.

Maybe me. Maybe me. Me and the Ayatollah, whoever the Ayatollah is.

...ran control of it, charging tolls. What do you think about that? Well, I have to find out if it's true. You know, do whatever they have to do.

We could close that up in two minutes. We could close that up so fast your head would spin.

So fast your head would spin.

Close that up.

Close that up, meaning the tolls... Right, you spin. Close that up. Close that up meaning the tolls. Right, you mean open it back up. Yeah, he doesn't know what he's saying. Right. Which is a theme. But we do. Of the presidency. We know what he's saying. So that, this last one was just Sunday night. It is again Taco Tuesday. Now here's a Wall Street Journal headline from last night. Trump tells aides he's willing to end war without reopening Hormuz.

And then confirming the story this morning on Truth Social, here's Trump. All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you. Number one, buy from the US. We have plenty.

And number two, build up some delayed courage. Go to the Strait and just take it. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has essentially been decimated.

The hard part is done. Go get your own oil, President DJT. What do you think?

I think it's great. I think it's a great resolution to this whole thing. So the news, the idea that it's news that Trump is willing to accept this, Rubio, we talked about this last week, Rubio was on the tarmac signaling this last week. He did it in his Rubio way of kind of sliding it in, but he said some version of after Operation Epic Fury ends, we'll then have to resolve this issue with the Strait of Hormuz and Iran having a toll which is unacceptable. And it's like, well, hold on

a second, hold on a second. I know the motivations for this conflict have shifted fairly frequently, but I believe we were still on the Rubio doctrine, which was get rid of the Navy, make sure they can't make missiles, don't mention the nuclear program, and sometimes also say that they shouldn't be able to project power in the region. I can't think of a more explicit version

of Iran projecting power in the region than having a toll booth on the fucking Strait of Hormuz. But they're like gonna leave it there. They want out.

Pete Higgseth for the first time in a couple weeks, he went out and did his his briefing where he just delivers a bunch of war haikus and was asked about all of this news this morning and here's what

he said. E.E. Dummings. I think the president was clear this morning in his truth that there are countries around the world who ought be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. It's not just the United States Navy. Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things like that as well. So he's pointing out this is an international waterway that we use less than most, in fact dramatically less than

most. So the world ought pay attention to be prepared to stand up. President Trump's been willing to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world to address this threat of Iran. It's not just our problem set going forward, even though we have done the lion's share of preparation to ensure that that straight will be will be open, which is an outcome the president's been very clear on.

A little twist there. But yeah, yeah, we talked about this yesterday.

It's like we've loosened up the pickle jar, you know? So we did all the heavy, we did all the work, and so now you just have to twist lightly.

Yeah, I would say it's a bit, yeah, for sure. In reality, what it is more like is, look, did we shut down the reactor and unleash the ghosts all over New York City? Sure, but those ghosts are hurting you more than they're hurting us.

If you wanna deal, look, we all knew there was gonna be a ghost problem after we shut off the reactor, and the question is, who's gonna help us get rid of all these fucking ghosts?

Also, I just don't understand, I mean, I guess I do understand, because they're just lying or stupid, so it's pretty easy. But they don't understand the global oil market. We don't use the straight. We use it less than most, so it doesn't matter. It's like, no, no, no, you see how the gas prices and the oil prices are going up, even though we're not using

the straight right now. Right. So let's try to make it make sense. And I think if you're going to try to make it make sense, and again, assume that these are short-term thinkers who discount the cost of being exposed as liars. They are signaling that, yeah, we'll be hurt by any kind of disruption to the straight of hormones, but the United States sits on a lot of helium. The United States sits on a lot of natural gas. We have a lot of fossil fuel and oil. And so we are well

positioned to weather it or better positioned to weather it than other countries, which is true. And so it's a way of saying we're really serious. When we say we're going to leave the Strait of Hormuz for you to solve, we actually we're not just bluffing to try to get you to help us for whatever they're hearing behind the scenes about how resistant these Are our allies I put in quotes because of us not them are to getting involved They're trying to signal that we're really really serious about fucking them For whatever gains they hope they could get from that in the short term whatever that looks like yeah, I guess

I'm making no it was good. I'm just wondering, of all the econ nerds in the White House that work for the White House, no one has been like, hey, so this is what's going to happen to prices of oil. And even though we have all this energy, the money that we make is going to be the money that energy producers make in this country. And the average consumer is still going to be pretty fucked. And that could also set off a global recession and that also would hurt us and we'll have to take a look at the treasury bonds and like there's just a lot of...

So anyway, Donald Trump talks to the... He gives an interview to the New York Post about all this. President Trump told the Post on Tuesday that he believes the Iran war is likely to end soon and that other nations can reopen the Strait of Hormuz themselves. After he posted to social media a video of huge explosions near Issafan that he said hit quote, a lot of stuff. Quote, we're not going to be there too much longer. We're obliterating the shit out of them right now. It's a total obliteration. And then when asked about the

Wall Street Journal story and his truth about Hormuz, he said, I don't think about it to be honest. My sole function was to make sure they don't have a nuclear weapon. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. When we leave, the strait will automatically open. That's the new thing. So the new thing is, the Iranians are really pissed at us and Israel. So when we stop the bombing, they're not gonna hurt the other countries. They're gonna let them go through the strait. Maybe that's the hypothesis.

And if they do hurt the other countries, well whose problem is that? Not ours. We broke it, you bought it.

Right, well we just, it's all like, or they let through the ships that they want to let through and not the ships they don't want. We just have no idea right because by the way also Ron's about you know like it's a Corrupt dictatorial regime run by their own set of fucking maniacs and Trump's yeah Right and and so we don't know what they're what they're what they really want to do

They also are in the midst of a war. They're trying signal themselves that they could sustain. So who fucking knows? Nobody knows. He's gambling with the global economy and assuming it won't blow back on him. The Hegseth thing too, which you feel some, I don't know if you felt this while watching Hegseth, which is, the other day Trump said, Pete, you were the first one to say to go into this. And you kind of feel Hegseth up there trying to defend the whole thing, like it was smart. And even when he was, he had some aside about how people are worried about what happens if we send troops.

I don't know why. Why are people not have faith in Trump?

Well, CNN just came out with a big story about Hegseth. Someone in the White House did call him the number one cheerleader for the war. He's sort of owning that though, and the story says that he did not, in the meetings leading up to the war, really brief Trump on the possible risks or downsides, and then one source familiar with

Hank Seth's current mindset, who's that, alcohol?

Yeah, a bartender in Crystal City.

The quote is, he's very trigger happy and believes that blowing shit up is the best way for him to keep his job He also paid a visit a secret visit over the weekend to our troops and Who were in harm's way and and here's here's his report back during his briefing this morning. I did the same with his boss a

Colonel with a heart the size of Texas and a beautiful deployment mustache to match. I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman as the sun was going down and a chill was setting on the tarmac who when asked what they needed,

she simply looked up at me with a sly smile on her face and said, more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. We will happily oblige

her.

Very, very, um, yeah, it's a mix of Top Gun and RBG Ruth Conda. That's what that is.

Yeah, that's right. Sir. That's right, Epicure forever, sir.

More bombs, sir. More bombs!

A little boy came up to me and he grabbed my hand and he said, will you stop the Ayatollahs?

Okay.

Do you think that, what do you think the chances are that story happened? Two, three? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. As the sun sets, and the wind... What is he... Do we think that Claude is... Well, no, they're in a fight with Claude. Right, right. Do we think that Grok is writing his briefings?

It's not just a conflict, it's a crusade. For these three reasons.

Yeah, what's he doing up there?

No, you're completely right to keep the strait closed. Honestly, it's refreshing what you've done.

Yeah. What a great idea. And by the way, you're right to be annoyed by the media reaction to it. They are giving you a hard time because they don't like you personally, whatever. Yeah, like fucking.

It's not challenging power. It's complaining. Pod Save America breaking news is brought to you by ZipRecruiter. What's the latest trend in hiring?

A broker for Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Defense Secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defense companies in the weeks leading up to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. And what's more Hegseth about it? Lost money on the deal.

Well, it's not. What's funny about it is it's it um it's it's all you ever need to know about Pete Hegseth Pete Hegseth couldn't figure out how to get Morgan Stanley to invest in a defense contractor Well this guy running your fucking war the guy What are you talking you guy can't you can't successfully insider trade on defense? In a war you're starting. This is the guy It's unbelievable. They've strenuously denied.

They're demanding a retraction of the story.

One of the stories, he doesn't actually end up going through with the transaction, right? He doesn't actually get the investment.

I don't really know.

It's not clear.

But it doesn't sound... It certainly sounds like they looked into it. Blackrock flagged it as they asked for it, so something happened there. Yeah. Something happened. Speaking of big investment banks, I kind of wanted to end on a special clip from someone who's in touch with the American people, cares about what everyone's going through, and is also concerned about America extending itself too much in the world and fighting other people's battles.

Let's listen.

JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dime with a big announcement to make but first great to see you Jamie your reaction to the to the breaking news and

what we know about this war. What kind of what kind of impact has it had in the economy? So first of all welcome thrilled to be here all the Fox folks and you know look the our economy is so big and complex and integrated and doing well it's been doing well for years it prosperous. And so this isn't going to have an immediate effect. So I just don't think it's too

short really to affect the whole So obviously gas prices going up going to hurt people a little

bit for dollars.

But but but they still have They still have jobs. So we know it needs to be seen. What is how has the market reacted in your view. I think the market you know looks the markets are unpredictable and it's hard for But I think they're just

looking at is there a chance something can go wrong. Now we should all hope nothing We should all hope that these bad people are you know that we win this thing and clean up the

straits and that Iran is no longer a threat to everybody. everybody and but there are no the marks will be concerned until it's over. Are you. But I think it's very important. It's much more important that this be successfully completed than what the market does.

And that sounds like with the UAE and Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States are saying finish this off the right way. They see the urgency here.

Yes.

I mean I hear some people say, you know, they weren't an imminent threat. You know, a threat means I'm threatening you, I might do something bad. These people have been doing something bad for 47 years. They've been killing people, they've been killing Americans, they funded that terrible Hamas thing. Several Americans were killed when- On October 7th.

On October 7th. And so, they've had proxy wars, they've been threatening people. I think people are surprised to find out that had a ballistic missile and go 3,000 miles These are bad people and they needed to be stopped and just who decide what now I don't know what the military knows. I don't know what President Trump knows I just think now we've got to finish this thing and finish it, right?

Thanks for waiting Jamie

He seems like he's ready to be the next Treasury Secretary It's got a he's got a real Scott Besant. I'm going to freelance about a whole bunch of shit I have no idea about admitting that.

I don't know what Trump knows.

I don't know what Trump knows, I don't know anything. I know what my rich friends in New York tell me about, you know, different things that I hear at dinner parties. I don't know, I was reading the free press. Yeah, that's this It says that we could they say we got to finish the job the

Yeah, the the sort of the the word imminent no longer having any real meaning in our world is the thing pretty pretty pretty bad you can't be an imminent threat for 47 years and It didn't it was a time where people were thoughtful about the nature of presidential power and the fact that you ascribe the power to the president to take action in the event of an imminent threat because you understood that were it not imminent,

Congress would be required to act, but the Constitution is not a suicide pact, and so in an emergency, that is the president's responsibility to step in despite not having congressional authority, understanding that it's a grave thing to do, but we're so far, far past that now.

Also, JB Diamond and they're trying to come up with a rationale for war that we decided to bomb Iran because Americans were killed on October 7th.

Because Iran's bad.

Because they fell into that Hamas thing.

Because Iran is bad. Iran, and it is bad.

It is bad. Iran is bad. Because they fell into that Hamas thing. Because Iran is bad. Iran, and it is bad. It is bad. Iran is bad. And yeah, people are going to get hurt by the gas prices, but they still have jobs and can buy things. Anyway, that's your right-wing media, banking, military, industrial complex.

And that's why you'll see, you know, approval amongst older Republicans for the war still holding up because you have Jamie Dimon doing his tour going to say the right things on Fox News to fucking Brian Kilmeade. There you go.
