[0:00] We can confirm that Iran successfully targeted an F-35 fire jet at the Muwafik Salty Air Base
[0:08] in Jordan. This is the same air base where three service members were killed in the past week and
[0:14] a half. We have the satellite image right here showing that the F-35 was destroyed. We can see
[0:21] where it was before. We can see after the Iranian strikes. Now the IRGC earlier claimed it struck
[0:28] an F-35 and CENTCOM has denied it and claimed it hasn't taken place, but we can literally see
[0:35] that the F-35s that were there, that at least one F-35 was destroyed, possibly more F-35s were
[0:43] destroyed. We'll get to that also in a moment. While we were learning that and while CENTCOM was
[0:48] covering that up, Donald Trump was holding a press conference at the White House. He was having a
[0:54] press conference about attacking immigrants as truck drivers. It was saying that, well,
[1:00] veterans are better than immigrants. Why can't you have immigrants and veterans? Why do you have to
[1:04] make it a divisive thing? In any event, in between Donald Trump getting distracted about the size of
[1:10] trucks near him, we learned this information. Then Donald Trump was asked a very basic question.
[1:16] What's going on with Iran, man? How long do you expect this to last? What is happening? As soon as
[1:22] he was asked these questions, he ran away. Let me show you what happened. Let's play it.
[1:27] Very much. Bye. Thank you.
[1:33] Now, some of the footage that's coming in now as he was running away from that press conference. I'll
[1:38] get to more of that though in a moment. We now have received close-up footage of that drone attack at
[1:45] the Damiana port in Egypt, which Iran signaled was a further warning shot to the Trump regime that any
[1:54] more escalation by Donald Trump would be met by escalation from Iran, even beyond the Strait of
[2:01] Hormuz, the Bab al-Mandab Strait. They said, look, we'll do it in Egypt if you want us to. There's
[2:07] extensive damage, far more than was being reported at this Egypt port. Areas in the port were hit.
[2:15] Two LNG, liquefied natural gas tankers, were hit. The true extent is still being covered up,
[2:22] but massive damage being done there. Let me show you the close-up footage that we're now getting
[2:27] in. Let's play it. Now, in addition to the Muwafik Salty base in Jordan, in addition to
[2:58] the Ali al-Salam air base in Kuwait as well, which Iran struck, Iran's army says it struck the U.S.
[3:07] Sheikh Issa air base in Bahrain with attack drones targeting power generators, navigation systems,
[3:15] and support buildings. It claims the strikes cause significant damage. And again,
[3:21] the satellite imagery that we have seems to suggest that that is true. This is all being covered up
[3:27] from CENTCOM. Now, this also is taking place as Saudi Arabia just launched multiple strikes on
[3:38] Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. And the Houthis have said that they will now retaliate more.
[3:46] The Houthis previously struck three refineries in Saudi Arabia, and we expect them to very shortly
[3:53] be striking more refineries in Saudi Arabia. It is believed that Saudi Arabia may be planning a
[4:01] ground invasion of Western Yemen, which is controlled by the Houthis. It is also believed
[4:07] that Donald Trump may be following the advice of that horrible CENTCOM admiral, Admiral Brad Cooper,
[4:15] and doing a further massive escalation. Although, whenever Donald Trump says he's going to do that,
[4:21] Iran is able to deliver these blows to the U.S. bases, and Trump backs out. Trump is the worst
[4:29] decision maker imaginable, so we'll see what he does. I'll show you the B-roll again. You can see
[4:35] the second impact confirmed in the Muwafik Salty Air Base. Likely another fighter jet of the F-35 type,
[4:42] as claimed by the IRGC, was destroyed. We know there's F-35s there, and you can see the before and
[4:49] after footage. We believe, again, this is being covered up by the Trump regime.
[4:54] Yes, as this one open source intelligence account says,
[4:57] Iran's intelligence on the Jordan Muwafik Salty Air Base has been scarily precise lately.
[5:03] July 2nd, new aircraft maintenance hangars built. July 9th, Iran destroys them. July 17th and 19th,
[5:11] Iran hits two aircraft hangars. July 30th, this morning, maintenance hangars freshly rebuilt,
[5:17] an aircraft heading in. Iran destroys it with pinpoint accuracy. Are they getting this real-time
[5:23] satellite imagery from China, from Russia? But here's what CENTCOM published.
[5:28] Over the past few hours, Iranian state media have continued to report false claims
[5:33] by the IRGC. Three in particular. First claim, the IRGC claims free open routes through the Strait
[5:40] of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels. Fact. The immediate dangers posed to commercial vessels,
[5:46] and their civilian crews are the IRGC's verbal threats and attempted attacks. So they're saying,
[5:53] Strait of Hormuz, perfectly open, perfectly cool. Second claim, the IRGC claims three USF-35
[5:59] stealth fighters and three other aircraft were destroyed. Fact. No US aircraft were destroyed or
[6:05] damaged in recent attempted Iranian attacks. All missiles and drones were intercepted or failed
[6:12] to reach targeted areas. I don't know what you're saying there. I mean, I read the words,
[6:17] but we can literally see on the satellite image that the area where the F-35s were destroyed. So
[6:23] if you're saying this wasn't an F-35 and it was another plane that looks like an F-35,
[6:30] okay. But when you say it hit the base and it hit the base in Kuwait, it hit the base in Jordan.
[6:37] So you have this open source account saying, okay, who's running the CENTCOM account right now? It's
[6:43] Trump. It's Trump and Admiral Cooper allowing Trump to do this. And as I said, we all understand that
[6:49] there's propaganda during war. I understand Iran's going to push their propaganda. The US is going to
[6:55] push it. The US propaganda is downright awful. The things we used to mock Saddam Hussein and Baghdad
[7:02] Bob. Yeah, we've become Baghdad Bob in the United States. It is incredibly embarrassing. With all of
[7:09] this taking place, Donald Trump held that press conference that he ran out of. Trump got distracted
[7:14] by a truck and he was like, whoa, you see that big sucker? Play this clip. Rigs like that. You got to
[7:20] know something to drive. Wow. That sucker is a big one. That's big stuff. But they're really deranged
[7:28] and psychotic human being. Then Donald Trump gets lost mid sentence and forgets what he's saying
[7:33] about the truckers. Let's play it. And for the veterans where no truck, where you have a situation
[7:40] where you have not truck drivers in the military, where you don't have truck drivers, they're going
[7:45] to be given a very quick pass. We're going to teach. Then Donald Trump starts attacking immigrants and
[7:51] say, oh, they don't understand our language. They shouldn't be driving trucks. You know, the damage
[7:56] are going to be causing the trucking industry. I mean, with that xenophobic and hateful rhetoric,
[8:02] I mean, you know, look, I encourage veterans to become truck drivers. And if there are immigrants who
[8:08] can be truck drivers, they've also shown that they're hardworking, not criminals. Let them work.
[8:15] Let them work. It is important to our industries here. But, you know, Donald Trump's the guy who goes,
[8:21] no immigrants as truck drivers, no windmills, no solar. Tariffs are the greatest. The guy's an idiot
[8:28] and he's wrong about everything. And he's psychotic. So get Donald Trump saying that.
[8:36] Then you have Duffy, Sean Duffy, real world road rules challenge on Duffy. And he speaks and he's like,
[8:42] President Trump, you're a masterclass. Where's your boot, Trump? May I lick your boot, Trump? I'm a
[8:49] boot licker. I'm Sean Duffy from real world road rules. Just so embarrassing. Here play this clip.
[8:55] Over the illegals who the last administration prioritized. It has been just an honor to work
[9:01] with you. And to me, he's a masterclass. To see how this president operates, to watch him and learn
[9:08] from him is amazing. So thank you. I appreciate it, Mr. President. With all of that taking place,
[9:16] you have Netanyahu who was supposed to leave the United States. Just, I guess he's going to stay
[9:20] here forever and work on Hegseth and work on Rubio. We don't have to really work on them. I mean,
[9:25] they're Netanyahu bootlickers. And, you know, so, but he's hanging out. Dude, go back. Go back to
[9:34] Israel. Why are you here? And here he is saying, we need more attacks on Iran. That is how we get
[9:42] peace. Here play this clip. Nobody believed that we would take on Iran, but we did. And there's still
[9:48] work to be done, but we joined together and, you know, you multiply your forces together.
[9:54] And I think that if we, if we cut the Iran threat down to size, we're going to get a lot of peace
[10:01] treaties. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy struggling. Second quarter GDP came in at 1.5% when the estimate
[10:10] was 2.1%. Let's play this clip. In line with estimates. Let's get to GDP. This is the first
[10:15] look we're getting at second quarter GDP, Maria. The first read is 1.5%, 1.5%. The estimate was a
[10:23] gain of 2.1%. So we're coming in a little bit light on this first look at second quarter GDP.
[10:29] You all remember what Howard Lutnick said? I'll just want to show you and remind you
[10:33] when Howard Lutnick went in on the All In podcast. We're going to get 6%, 6% GDP. That's what I'm
[10:43] going to get. I've never been to Epstein Island. And we're going to have 6% GDP. Let's play it.
[10:50] Five. You're going to see fives. In the greatest economy in the world, you're going to see five.
[11:00] And people think you can't, you can't. I mean, 5% GDP on a base this big is just, it's enormous.
[11:07] Right. We have a $30 trillion. So 5% is 1.5 trillion in growth. And if we cut rates, you'll see
[11:16] six. And people do not, would never, before Donald Trump walked into that office, they would,
[11:23] don't think that's possible. And what's six mean? Let's just put six in context. Six
[11:27] six was China at its peak under central planning with a tight control on every aspect of its
[11:35] economy. That was what the world knew is what six looked like in the modern era. And now the
[11:40] alternative version of six will be the president, you, the team in a much more open way. I'll be
[11:47] shocked. You would have said it could never happen. I would be shocked. I mean, that's an
[11:49] incredible. You're going to put it this way. You know, it wouldn't even be fun for you when we see
[11:54] the fives. Yeah. Because they'll be so soon. They could be this quarter as in the first quarter.
[11:59] So then I'd say, well, you have to come back and see me when it's through five, but then you'll come
[12:02] back in a couple of months and then you'd say, Howard, I just spoke to you for an hour. I don't,
[12:05] you know, I don't need to speak to you again, but you're going to see fives like as in early in
[12:10] 26. That's incredible. And then if they cut rates, and that's the thing, I need a new Fed
[12:15] chair who cuts rates. And if they cut rates, you'll see sixes. And what you're going to see,
[12:21] what that means is jobs are abundant. Yeah. Good jobs are abundant. High paying jobs are
[12:28] abundant. Right. Construction jobs. You just get paid more money to be who you are. You make more
[12:35] money. And that is not inflation. That is called 6% GDP growth. These guys are the biggest Bernie
[12:43] Madoff con artists ever. I swear to you. Donald Trump's latest approval, record lows. Take a look
