Transcript of Trump Has 12:40 AM Meltdown as Iran Issues Warning

Donald Trump was having a meltdown at 12:40 AM as Iran issued another fatal warning. Donald Trump posting on social media at 12:40 AM that he will be hunting down people he says are involved in treason by going to the press to say that the United States is out of Patriot interceptors, THAAD interceptors, ATACMS, and Navy destroyers and other critical military equipment such that Donald Trump is unable to escalate his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Donald Trump at 12:40 AM AM posting. The US has massive amounts of munitions, especially of certain types. Yes, very specific, of certain types.

Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the United States as needed. Shipped to the United States? Didn't you say you brought all the manufacturing back in the United States? Also, we need it from other countries. Okay, go on.

Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history. Well, your sentence before that seems to contradict that. Oh, wait a minute. You lie about everything. And he goes on to say, the leakers— and he puts that in quotes— of these treasonous statements are being hunted down.

Long-term jail sentences will be sought. DJT. Just think about it. The president of the United States at 12:40 a.m., after threatening to blow the effing s out of Iran and then backing down because the United States ran out of weapons, now is saying he will be hunted hunting down the leakers because they're involved in treason. When Donald Trump and Netanyahu got us into this catastrophic and unlawful war 6 months ago that Donald Trump said was going to end in days, and then Donald Trump proceeded to lie every day and claim he's having fake negotiations with Iran, which was utterly, utterly humiliating.

Meanwhile, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister issuing the warning. And saying the following: The United States is basically begging us, is what Iran's Foreign Minister Gharbabadi said. The United States sent a message requesting negotiations and a resolution of issues approximately 4 or 5 days after the start of the new round of conflict. Any agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz should only be between Iran and Oman. We will not accept any foreign interference in the Strait of Hormuz.

With the implementation of the new agreement, existing temporary routes in the Strait of Hormuz will be closed. A significant portion of the routes for ships entering and exiting Iranian territorial waters will pass through. So Iran is working out this deal with Oman where Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. Iran can toll in the Strait of Hormuz, and Donald Trump wants to try to take credit for the Iranian deal with Oman, and Iran is saying If you try to send your tankers through the route that we don't approve, we're not involved in a ceasefire with you, Donald. We will not hesitate to shoot your tankers.

And indeed, Iran has been shooting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as recently as the past 12 hours. The Houthis in Yemen have been shooting at Saudi tankers and other tankers that have not been following its instructions in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. I mean, just take a look at what went down again in the past 12 hours. The UKMTO, the UK Maritime, uh, organization received a report about a tanker getting struck right by Oman in that southern route where the US and CENTCOM encouraged tankers to go, where Iran basically blows up all of the tankers that don't follow the IRGC instructions. A tanker was just hit there.

Let's go take a look at the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, shall we? Because there you have the Houthis, making the following announcement. The Houthis announced that they targeted the Saudi oil tanker Wafa with an undisclosed number of missiles in the northern Red Sea off the coast of Yanbu, marking the 8th Saudi Arabian oil tanker targeted and the total number of Saudi tankers diverted since July 22nd to the 29th. The statement is significant because it explicitly expands the Houthis targeting to include Saudi tankers operating in the northern Red Sea. Let's take a look.

Are there any other UKMT MTO notices. Indeed, there are additional ones. Uh, the UKMTO, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, has issued an advisory after yet another attack, this time by Muqah in Yemen as well, and then by Aden, Yemen, another Houthi strike right there. Strike after strike after strike. And meanwhile, we're also learning how Iran warned Gulf states that any new US attack on its territory would trigger massive retaliation against the infrastructure, the critical infrastructure across the region, according to 5 sources that spoke to Reuters.

As Tehran says, we know the United States is out of interceptors, the THAAD and the Patriots, the PAC-3s. We know that you're out of Navy destroyer SM-2, SM-3, SM-6 anti-ballistics. We know that. I mean, we've heard what, uh, General Grinkowicz, the US-NATO allied commander in Europe, has to say. We, we know you're out.

We are able to strike the US bases with impunity, is what Iran says. We can see through the satellite footage, uh, that the US has abandoned its bases in the region. And so Iran says, we will continue to escalate these costs until you submit, until you ensure that we have control of the Strait of Hormuz. We're not acknowledging your fake deals, right? I mean, you had Treasury Secretary Bessant, uh, the other day saying, um, we were doing a deal in 2 or 3 days.

Trust me, the deal's is about to be done, we're going to announce it, and it's just more market manipulation from Bessett. Meanwhile, Iran's Assembly of Experts— that's the main organization in Iran that picks the Ayatollah and supervises the Ayatollah— the Iran Assembly of Experts said the following: The wise, insightful, hopeful, and dignified messages of the leader of the revolution provides direction and guidance for the honorable people of Iran and the Islamic nation and must remain at forefront of the country's official considerations. Trusting the arrogant US government is nothing more than a mirage. Placing hope in reaching an understanding or agreement with this bullying regime will lead nowhere. Any action aimed at securing the nation's rights must be carried out within the framework of the leader's view, guidance, and strategic decisions.

Then you've got Donald Trump going on his social media platform, uh, posting, only Trump with one of the bronze statues that is now gilded gold. And Trump says, so beautiful, DC is better than ever. Tender loving care. More from Iran's Deputy Minister Gharbabadi. Um, he talks about how specifically the route will work in the Strait of Hormuz.

A significant portion of the ship's entry and exit routes will pass through Iranian territorial waters according to the understanding reached with Omani Northern Route, which was established near Lark Island and the southern route, which is in Omani internal waters, will be closed, as these were completely temporary routes. If this new understanding that is being formed between Iran and Oman, with those requirements met, enters the implementation phase, this new route will be implemented for the passage of ships. A significant part of this new route is located in Iranian territorial waters and part of it is in Omani territorial waters. That is, it is designed in such a way that commercial ships will always pass through Iranian territory waters on both the way in and out. In other words, Iran is saying we control the Strait of Hormuz, and if you try to move tankers, we're not afraid.

And we've seen these multiple strikes by Iran continuing to hit tankers. The other day, Iran struck a US base in Kuwait. The other day, we saw, we believe, the Houthis striking in Dubai, although right now the UAE says, ah, it was just a random factory explosion. It wasn't actually, you know, any, uh, any strikes. And so Iran has not backed down, and Iran also sees what Donald Trump is doing.

I mean, latest story from the New York Times, just the amount of money Donald Trump continues to waste as he bankrupts our military. So not only are we running out of the THAAD and the Patriot interceptors and the SM-2, SM-3, SM-6 anti-ballistics on those Navy destroyers, but Trump has now spent close to $300 billion, or $275 billion, on a new class of warships ships called the Trump class of warships, which now cost 50% more than expected. And that's probably, uh, lowballing it as well. It'll probably be significantly more than that. And so Trump said that he liked the way the ships looked right around between World War I and World War II, and he doesn't like our stealth ships.

He doesn't like aircraft carriers, and he doesn't like submarines. He wants to build battleships because he likes the way battleships work. So he wants nuclear battleships, and that we are spending $300 billion of our taxpayer dollars to build Trump battleships. I kid you not. That's what these MAGA Republicans approved as well with their disastrous budgets.

And guess what? In today's day of warfare where you have unmanned submersives, where you have FPV drones, where you have these Shaheed-style drones and the variations of that that are used in the United States and Ukraine and elsewhere, you know, drones, drone warfare is the way of the future. And so why would you be building a battleship that it just takes a few unmanned submersibles to destroy. At this point, it's just a waste of money. But that's who Donald Trump is.

Also, Iran is watching. As you know, you hear stories of Trump's incompetence almost leading to him being killed the other day. That's right, Trump almost got killed the other day in a helicopter crash. Helicop— helicopter carrying Donald Trump flew right near a passenger jet in Washington airspace. Remember how at the beginning of the Trump regime there was the horrific plane crash into the helicopter?

Well, Marine One, the helicopter that ferries Donald Trump, came less than a mile— was actually 0.8 miles— of an Envoy Air flight on Tuesday, uh, raising concerns about air traffic control in the congested area. Marine One was unable to get in touch with air traffic control at the local airport, and the planes came within 0.8 miles. For all the pilots out there, you know that the the loss of separation warning is really dangerous at 1.5 million— of 1.5 miles in lateral distance, especially the speed at which planes go and the distance it can go in a very short period of time. So being 0.8 miles away was actually a very, very close call. You know, Iran's just watching the level of incompetence.

They're like, he's afraid we're gonna kill him. Dude's gonna kill himself based on his own incompetence at this point. A few other things I point out, and I'll be doing other videos on this, a new Washington Post article talks about how Trump and Hegseth clashed at that Camp David meeting over the lack of interceptors and Patriot— the Patriot interceptors, the THAAD interceptors, and the anti-ballistics on the Navy destroyers and the ATACMS and those HIMARS that are— that have been used. And so this is one of the areas that Donald Trump is, uh, freaking out over, that this information has gone out and Iran knows we're out of weapons. That's why Trump's like, we're hunting You down, we're hunting you down.

And so at the Camp David meeting, according to the story, Donald Trump was yelling at Hegseth, we thought you had the interceptor situation under control, why is Dan Cain the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and, uh, generals like General Grinkovich and, and others saying that we don't have weapons, we're out of weapons, we're out of interceptors. And Hegseth apparently blamed Steven Feinberg, his deputy. He was like, it's Feinberg's fault, he did it, he did it. And then the whole Trump regime's like, this is fake news, Washington Post is lying, there's nothing true about this at all, there's nothing true about this at all. Okay, now as Donald Trump continues to panic late at night as Iran issues the fatal warning that it will control the Strait of Hormuz and that it will not tolerate any US involvement in the Strait of Hormuz at all, and Iran made good on it, it struck multiple tankers.

I know this isn't being reported, and you know, all that gets reported in the US is the market manipulation of Best and, oh, we're about to make a deal. We're about to make all those lies that manipulated the market at the beginning of this week. But the reality is, is that the war is going on and we're getting all this disinformation in the United States and tankers are being hit and Iran is striking our bases because we invaded them. The United States and Israel invaded them. And Netanyahu— so of course they're going to defend themselves.

And so while all of that's going on, Nikki Haley surfaced. Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley posted the following, uh, US national debt nears $40 trillion, hits record 124% of GDP. US public debt has climbed to a record $39.8 trillion, leaving it just $200 billion shy of the historic $40 trillion mark. And then she says, in the next 2 weeks, our country will hit $40 trillion in debt.

It's one of the biggest problems facing young Americans right now, yet politicians in Washington and around the country aren't even discussing it. We're leaving an entire generation broke. We're discussing it. You know who's not discussing it? Your cult, Nikki Haley, your sicko MAGA cult.

You know why? Because your Führer, Donald Trump, is responsible for close to 40% of that debt. Didn't you all say that Doge was gonna stop this and Project 2025 was gonna stop all of this? No, y'all are not fiscal conservatives. Y'all are not fiscal hawks.

You are the most reckless, most irresponsible individuals handling money and debt. You're the least conservative. That term is BS. It has no meaning. You're the least fiscally responsible people.

You, your party, Trump, Bush, Reagan, y'all are the people who, who are caused all of this debt. It's actually been Democratic presidents who have lowered it. That's an objective damn fact right there. But MAGA Republicans just care about manipulating the market, making their rich friends richer. And we get this great story from the Wall Street Journal, Philip Wegmann and Nick Tamaras.

Scoop: Trump speaks repeatedly with the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, over the phone. Since Warsh became chairman of the Federal Reserve, maintaining a line of communication between the president and a central bank chief that has little recent precedent. How about has no precedent at all? Trump now sees Warsh as a valued outside economic advisor. Their continued— this is some third world banana republic stuff right here.

Their continued conversations are a sharp departure from how Fed Chairman Jerome Powell handled Trump and former President Biden. Yeah, because it's supposed to be independent. It's supposed to be independent. That's why the relationship is more similar to that of Clinton and Greenspan. No, It's not.

No, it's not. This is more similar to like Javier Milei. This is more similar to like Bukele. It's more similar to how Orbán did things. And that's not what the markets want to see here in the United States.

Let me be very— that's for long-term sustainability. They're just going to, what, manipulate the markets every, you know, in the short term and then screw over all the future generations with this abhorrent abhorrent behavior.
