1:10:06 Pete Hegseth says the trade arm moves which is closed because Iran is bombing it. It's actually open for transit so long as Iran does not bomb the strait. But Iran does bomb any ship not authorized by them. They have to call them Iranian gunboats, land with their pilots, and if they are Russian or Chinese, they let them through. And look, I like Hegseth. I think he's a good man. He's a good leader. He has a great record. And he's doing his job executing the President's plan. But for heaven's sakes, Exxon, do not gaslight people. The strait is open if they don't attack, because Trump wants to say the war is over and it's open. And no, go on through ships, it's fine. And then ship, what, they blown up four of them in the last few days? No, it ain't open. Just don't say that to us.
1:11:01 But see, they're trying to pretend cuz even when Trump says that, oil goes down for a day and people figure out it's not true, it goes back up. And Trump keeps doing that, it's not having the same effect. You can't bull crap the reason you don't lie, A, it's wrong. B, people don't believe you anymore, and we need people to believe Hexeth. Stop peeing on me and tell me it's raining, please? That would be nice. We have a clip of Hexeth saying it here, go ahead and roll that clip of Hexeth. The only thing prohibiting transit in the streets right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that. That's not even really gaslighting. I guess he's making the point that Iran's the one that closed it. Yeah, we know that, Pete. I guess he's talking to the mainstream media. They are retarded. So I guess he wasn't gaslighting. I was reading the headline. I guess you have to talk to them like they're three years old. I guess that's true. Like Iran is the one that's doing it. But
1:12:12 We knew that when we went in there, they were going to do this. So how big is the 82nd Airborne? Give me a troop number on that. What's the total number 82nd Airborne and what percentage of the 82nd Airborne is combat unit? So you'll have that number and 5,000 Marines are supposed to go take that? Sounds like Custer's last stand to me. And here's the problem. You can bomb for months those mountains. It's thousands of square miles.
1:12:53 that you can put missiles and artillery in, not to mention all the spider holes. I'm gonna predict this right now. If Trump sends in the Marines and the Army, you're gonna get dozens of helicopters shot down. You're gonna get, I'd say thousands of troops are gonna die. And we've gotten really good at not getting troops killed. And I don't know if America has stomach for this, because up close, it won't matter how fancy our weapons are.
1:13:36 All right, total force 17,000, 18,000 paratroopers. And the question is how many of those aren't in support? Let's just say it's 18,000. So 18,000 to 5,000 is 23,000 troops. The numbers I've gotten is at least 50,000. And again, you're gonna have to put them also on top of the Iranians. You're gonna have to take the ground, go back to that graphic if we can, the topography. You're going to have to put them up on top And the Iranians know that, so they're gonna be waiting on the shore, in the hills, in the mountains, and on top, and behind. And that's why we need, I've talked to folks about it, 50,000. And how many targets is that here? Go back to that number again. 82nd Airborne Division, the Specialized Airborne Infantry Division, 6,500 active duty soldiers as a premier rapid deployment unit that maintains specialized parachute, qualified brigade combat teams of
1:14:46 About 5,000 soldiers ready to deploy in 18 hours. Yeah, so the rapid reaction, the cream is 5,000. But let's just say they put all 18,000 in and all the Marines, 23,000 soldiers to go in there. How many Marines took Iwo Jima? Look that up. And how many Marines died in Iwo Jima? Now granted, they didn't have Apache helicopters. I'm just saying, there'll be a lot of coffins.
1:15:31 And I know all your comments, you're just a pussy. You, you, you, you. The people always doing that are Lindsey Graham types. Listen, if our country's actually threatened, we lose half a million troops. That's the way it is. You signed up for it, but not for something like this. No, no. Approximately 70,000 US Marines as part of the total joint force brought 110,000 troops land on Iwo Jima. during the battle of Iwo Jima which began February 19, 1945. The invasion involved the 3rd, 4th, 5th Marine divisions with over 30,000 Marines landing on the first day in the first wave. Let's see how many died. Let's show that flag, that famous iconic symbol of the flag being raised on Iwo Jima. Go back, how many Marines died? 7,000 during the 36-day battle. So that's 6,000, 7,000 more than we're gonna send in.
1:16:48 And again, our weapons work real good when we're up there at 60,000 feet. But up close, it could be a lot of body bags. And then you know what happens. I know Americans. People are gonna get pissed and they're gonna demand total war. And then we're gonna invade Iran and then set up the artillery perimeters and just expand. And it'll take, if we're super successful, and then the Muslims might actually fall on that start. So it's actually a probability. I don't wanna encourage this behavior roll the dice.
1:17:45 50,000 dead troops on our side take it in a month. Have to level the place with artillery, which the Russians haven't done in Ukraine. The Russians just pull up to a city, just level it in a week and move in. But if we go scorched earth and just level the place and just kill everybody, I mean, we could win it in a week if we hit them with nukes. But you have to kill everybody basically. You do call their cities, But then we're international war criminals. You think America's unpopular now? I love the good old boys. I say, turn it into parking lot. Well, have you thought that's, we think that's a new economy. Let's say kill all the Muslims. Don't start entertaining my dark side. I might actually join you in that. No, you need to understand that the stock market will guaranteed crash, oil will triple and the recovery is over as you know it.
1:18:49 and the bankers win and total tyranny comes in and then they will 100% activate their sleeper cells. And there'll be 1000 times the lone wolves. And it's gonna make what happened in Mexico a month ago or three weeks ago look like a walk in the park. And see, whenever I talk about this, I see the comments, cuz I love comments. I love to see what you have to say, but I see a lot of comments. Joe Trump has the best intel and It's not gonna go bad like this. It's gonna last four days, Alex. No, they're not gonna send in troops to the Strait of Hormuz. Stop lying. And then now they're here. No, I'm following doctrine. It's called the threat escalation ladder models. I am simply telling you set doctrine. It's been war-gamed every different angle you can imagine.
1:19:47 And so when I keep turning out to be right, it's not that I'm that smart. I know how, it's like I'm gonna try to fix an engine and I gotta do it myself. I'm gonna read manuals, I'm gonna look at it, I'm gonna find out about it and I'm gonna take my time and I'm gonna try to do it. If I was gonna try to battlefield surgery, somebody's got a broken leg, I don't know how to set it. I got a book on how to do it, I'll do the best job I can. I am simply going and studying the art of this. And that's why Trump was told don't do this. It goes from bad to worse. And it becomes this giant pissing contest now between the Iranians, Israel, and the United States. And how are we doing in that pissing contest right now? Not too good, because we're up against people that are complete lunatics. Or put this way, they believe in what they believe and they're willing to die for it. And so they're not gonna give up. I saw reports today, Trump, the regime is days away from falling.
1:20:57 And that's propaganda to convince the Iranians to give up. Those people aren't giving up no matter what happens. Tens of thousands of them, including their president, marched through the city streets for hours today while bombs were dropped on targets around them. Those targets have already been chosen. And I guarantee you, the Israelis and the US are probably scrambling just to go try to kill them. What do you think when people march for They're saying kill us, kill us, we're not giving up. Question for Heg Seth, he was asked, have you said the military has aerial enables priority over Iran? They were not escorting ships to the Strait of Hormuz. How did you not plan for this? Heg Seth, we plan for it, we recognize it. Because ultimately, we want to do it sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we have to achieve. That's totally true. The liberal
1:22:07 Aaron Rupar is acting like that's a dumb answer. No, I mean we wait then if they block it, Trump threatens them. They keep doing it, we invade and here come the Marines. But if Trump thinks 5,000 Marines and 18,000 airborne troops are gonna go in there when it makes Iwo Jima look like a cakewalk, well, that's why Trump has a blind spot for military operations. Yeah, we can drop 30,000 pound bombs down your house. We can shoot a missile up your ass. But when it comes to mountain terrain with psychotic trained killers who will not give up like robots, you are gonna get a bunch of people killed. And if you're willing to get thousands and thousands of US Marines and army killed, we'll probably succeed. But that's regime change, isn't it, Trump? That's full war, Trump. That's not what you ran on, is it, Trump? And I'm just supposed to forget that. Well, I'm not going to.
