We were learning that while the elections were actually taking place, Iran's IRGC claimed that four oil tankers were destroyed by naval mines while attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. That is in addition to three tankers that were struck earlier in the morning yesterday as well. The IRGC also claimed to have shot down its 56th US MQ-9 drone, and that was taking place while the elections were ongoing. That MQ-9 drone was shot down by Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. The day before that, another MQ-9 was shot down by Iran. That would have been the 55th. And then there were two MQM reconnaissance drones belonging to the United States that were struck by Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. In the past 10 days, Iran has struck nearly 12 to 14 tankers crossing the Strait of Hormuz. I estimate that 12 to 14 number because as the UK MTO organizations, which normally documents maritime incidents, explains, a lot of tankers don't actually report when they're struck anymore based on the orders of the Trump regime CENTCOM. But I think as a result of the elections that have just taken place, there's going to have to be a reckoning within the Trump regime. I mean, we'll see what happens, but I think you're going to even have a lot of MAGA Republicans in the Senate and the House who have just lost their job. They're going to be looking to, I think, get rid of a HEGSIF. They're going to be looking for changes in the military right now. And on the Democratic side, a lot of these big wins were actually from vets. Big veteran community running for the Democrats, pushing out these MAGA Republicans. You know, as this one account notes, Iran has successfully accomplished regime change in the United States is what they were saying. Then you had the various Iranian embassy accounts posting the following. The US midterm elections with a smiley face emoji in this video. Let's play it. Meanwhile, MB Ghalibaf, Iran's parliament leader, posted the following message last night. Conscience or cost or the cost of living, Americans said no to war and we endorse this message. If the US government betrays their public will to serve international paymasters and blackmailers, If the U.S. government betrays their public will to serve international paymasters and blackmailers, it will learn our no comes with a nightmare, is the warning coming from Iran. Our no comes with a nightmare if you don't listen to the American voters who don't want this war and instead you serve your international paymasters and blackmailers is what he's saying, which in my view, he's saying that as a reference to the Netanyahu regime. The Wall Street Journal reporting, Trump is being warned by his advisors inside and outside the White House that his legacy, what legacy? The legacy of covering up child sex trafficking rings, of himself being a sex predator, of himself being a felon, of himself leading an insurrection, of himself being the most despicable, vile piece of trash in American history. Sorry, I digress. Trump is being warned by advisers inside and outside the White House that his legacy will be forever tied to the Iran war he launched alongside Israel in February, the Wall Street Journal reports. Also, they report Trump allies blame the eight-month Iran war, rising energy prices, and its failure to achieve a decisive outcome for widespread Republican midterm losses. Some White House officials now call the war misguided, with internal discussions emerging over possible personnel changes. In other words, fire Hegseth. And by the way, take a look at Admiral Brad Cooper, because they've turned CENTCOM into the most clownish social media account ever. Where they're like, we control the Strait of Hormuz. We own it. It is ours. You don't control the Strait of Hormuz. Stop saying that. gas and diesel prices continue to surge to record highs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. If we control the Strait of Hormuz, then what are we even doing? Then why isn't our Navy destroyers and our ships in the Strait of Hormuz if we control the Strait of Hormuz? We don't even have a logistical center in the Middle East anymore. Instead, we have it in Diego Garcia, thousands of kilometers away because Iran destroyed the logistical center in Bahrain, which was the Fifth Fleet main logistical center, and they destroyed all the other military bases in the region. We need to get real and have serious, honest, sober conversations about what the hell is going on because the Trump and Netanyahu regime launched this catastrophic war. The U.S. should never have been involved in this thing, and it's resulted in disaster, devastation. The Trump regime has killed and slaughtered little children in Manab and Limerde. They're still covering up the report of the slaughter of these little children throughout Iran. And it is vital that this report be released. Remember how we reported that the Trump regime was refusing to release the report that the Pentagon prepared regarding the Trump regime's war crimes, killing 168 little girls at Manab Elementary School at the beginning of the war with Tomahawk missiles. And then remember that same day or right around there, the Trump regime killed a bunch of little children at a sports hall in Le Maire. They were in volleyball practice and the Trump regime tested tungsten pellet weapons that sprayed pellets and slaughtered all of the kids who were playing volleyball. There is a Pentagon report that admits that the Trump regime did it, that these were essentially war crimes. They don't say it in the report. The United Nations report says it was war crimes that was, you know, that was reported on. And we talked about that. But the Trump regime needs to report on Manab and Lemaire. And when we talk about impeaching Hegseth, one of the grounds for impeachment, slaughtering fishing boats or people on fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela, slaughtering children in Manab and Lemaire, firing the top U.S. generals and admirals. I mean, literally the top four star, three star, two star generals and admirals were forced out by Hegseth or fired by Hegseth because the guy is an absolute lunatic and he hates competent people. He refused to promote and elevate or even work with black leaders or female leaders. And so he purged them from the military as well. Absolutely, absolutely sickening. Meanwhile, you have Moshe Razai, who is the top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini earlier in the day yesterday. He said that the Trump regime responded to Iran's seven preconditions about reaching a potential ceasefire or resolution, but that the United States did so quite unconvincingly is what Moshe Razai said. Moshe Razai said, we are very clear about what our seven conditions are if you want to do a deal. Iran says, we are not going to have any discussion regarding the nuclear file. No nuclear discussions at all. Why? The Trump regime claimed you obliterated our nuclear weapons last year. So why would we have that as a matter of discussion? Also, the last time we negotiated that, you started striking Iran anyway. So nope, we're not having those conversations. Instead, we will agree to open up the Strait of Hormuz under the following conditions. Trump regime acknowledges Iran and Oman jointly control the Strait of Hormuz, that the United States will make sure that Israel removes troops from southern Lebanon and other areas in the Middle East and in the region, that the Trump regime unfreezes $13 billion in Iranian funds currently frozen with Qatar, that the Trump regime will provide a large amount of money for reconstruction funds to Iran, that there be a ceasefire in the entire region for all of the countries and entities that are part of Iran's so-called axis of resistance, which includes the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Iraqi resistance, and that Iran be permitted to maintain its ballistic missile and cruise missile arsenal. And when those conditions are met, Iran's happy to open up the Strait of Hormuz. That's it. Then potentially there could be a discussion on the nuclear file, but it's important that we all remember that Ayatollah Khomeini, who the Trump regime killed, had a fatwa, a religious edict, saying that Iran cannot build nuclear weapons. Iran has the intellectual capacity and capability to do a nuclear weapon very quickly if they want to. They have more knowledge on this and better engineers than the people in Pakistan, or almost frankly, anywhere in the world, but they have not done it. There's a lot of people in the Iranian parliament now saying, maybe we should do it. We see utter weakness by Donald Trump. We see that Donald Trump basically treated Kim Jong-un very differently when Kim Jong-un was getting nuclear weapons and that all Kim Jong-un had to do was drag Trump along and then get a nuclear weapon and Trump behaved very differently and that when Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, the Obama non-nuclear deal with Iran, the message was sent to Kim Jong-un, you should get nuclear weapons also because if you don't get nuclear weapons, you can't do a deal with the United States. They'll just pull out of a version of the JCPOA with you like they did with Iran. Traveling is stressful enough. You're at the airport juggling a coffee, your phone's about to die, and suddenly TSA wants your laptop while you're digging through your bag and you're holding up the entire line. That's why I've been loving my Noble all-in-one carry-on. Most luggage is basically just like a box on wheels. This actually makes traveling easier. It has a flip-out cup holder built right in, which is a lifesaver at the airport. There's a built-in charging port, to keep your phone alive, and this front laptop pocket makes getting through TSA so much easier. And the 360 degree wheels are incredibly smooth. Plus, there is no zipper. Noble uses a secure latch system that can't just be pried open with a pen. It looks fantastic too. Sleek, minimalist, and genuinely feels like premium luggage.

Also, Iran's IRGC is putting out a statement as well, that it has put Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini's order into action, and he said that if the United States strikes Iran, Iran needs to strike back immediately with no geographical limits and to hit, and that's what's going on. We've been talking about what Iran's plan is. If the U.S. were to strike Pickaxe Mountain or launch any form of like material strike on Iran, Iran would respond by hitting all of the U.S. data centers, any remaining U.S. bases, any remaining U.S. assets in the region. If it's a joint U.S.-Arab nation asset, that would be struck. There are cables that connect the internet, seven major cables underneath the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has shown visually how it will blow that up. Iran is sending a message. If you're still going to do this war, even after the American voters rebuked you and said, we don't want to be in this war, we should never have been in this war in the first place, as M.B. Goluboff, Iran's parliament leader, says, you will learn that our no comes with a nightmare when we don't want to do any deal with you. We will know that our no comes with a nightmare. Now, it should also be noted that in Israel, you have Netanyahu on the ground, who's the main opposition leader. He leads the Ishar party. He's forming a government right now with an Arab bloc that would push Netanyahu out of power. Eisenkot would become the prime minister. And everybody's saying, based on the U.S. election results, one of the main reasons also that there was such this overwhelming victory against the Trump regime was what the Trump administration did. Now, that's been harming the United States. So in Israel, they're saying, we can't have Netanyahu lead because a lot of the voting was a repudiation on the Trump-Netanyahu authoritarian globalist cartel that's taking place. A few other things I want to point out as well, in addition to tankers being struck in the Strait of Hormuz. Hannity on Fox, he was asked by Brett Barrow last night, if we didn't go to war with Iran, do you think this would be a much different race? Here's what Hannity had to say. And, you know, this is a program that Donald Trump watches play this clip. If we as a country did not go into the war in Iran and that was not on the agenda tonight. Is this a much different race tonight? I think 100 percent. I don't think there's any doubt about it. I kind of want to go back to how we're having this narrative. I agree with Larry Kudlow. The fundamentals of the economy. I'm a supply side capitalist like like Larry is. However, Harold is correct. If people don't feel it, then it is a problem. And right now, I believe we will get there. I think. The two years of any president, especially a dominant personality, is an incomplete grade. We'll get a full grade coming up in four years. But I would argue people want the border secure, but they didn't like a lot of the videos that Democrats played up at all. Americans are good people with a heart and they didn't like some of what they were doing. They saw. I would argue on Iran there was. Unfortunately, it's the best thing for our children and grandchildren. But higher gas prices, how people feel, I think, is the more dominant feeling force right now. So it gets complicated because I really believe in the policies. I think the president will be proven correct, just like Reagan was and Clinton in a lot of ways was and even Obama. And that's why two years from now, I think we'll be in a different spot. He'll have a complete grade. I would just say the president didn't like those videos out of Minnesota either. And he made a change at DHS based on that. He was not happy with what he was seeing there. And they did adjust. You know, one of the things that then not just watches, that's all. That's how he gets. That's how he doesn't do strategy. He just watches Fox and then rage posts and reacts to it. Should also be noted that during the day yesterday, Chris Wright, U.S. energy secretary, was bragging about high prices and saying prices are so high. That's a really good thing that prices are high because that means we're growing. Here's what he has to say. Play this clip. Prices are high. The best cure for high prices is high prices. It grows supply. And so supply is growing. We're getting more refined products out of the Arabian Gulf. We're going to see more come out of India. We're going to see more come out of the United States. And then you have Iran's president, Pozeskian, saying that he's prepared to die in a war against the United States. He's ready. He goes, look, let them assassinate me. If the people stand with us, even if they assassinate thousands of people like me, the enemy will not be able to do a damn thing, is what he says. Oh, two other points I want to make. Number one, U.S. intelligence sharing. Reuters reported on this. Surprise, surprise. U.S. intelligence sharing has deteriorated under Trump, with the CIA ending its joint assessments with the National Intelligence Council and intelligence reports to Congress temporarily suspended after military operations in Iran and Venezuela. Well, that's about to change, with Democrats taking control of the House and taking control of the Senate. Officials say tensions between the agency's staff cuts and fears of political retaliation have weakened intelligence coordination, potentially leaving policymakers with an incomplete picture of global threats. You think? I mean, Iran is posting the weapons that it has. Okay, these aren't fake AI images like Donald Trump posts. Iran is showing what its underground, undermounted facilities look like. They have thousands of ballistic missiles, thousands of cruise missiles, tens of thousands of Shahid drones, and probably the upgraded Garan 4 and Garan 5. I'll show you right over here. This was a video the IRGC released yesterday of the Supreme Leader's representatives inspecting one of these IRGC facilities. Let's play this clip right over here. Well, there you have it, folks. We'll keep you posted every step of the way, but definitely the vote that took place was a major repudiation of the catastrophic war in Iran. We'll see what Donald Trump does, but obviously voters are sending a message, no more. We don't want this war. We should never have been involved in this war in the first place. And folks, I don't think it's an exaggeration. I really don't. I think it's an exaggeration that if Trump were to escalate this war, he would have done it. If Trump were to escalate this war now, after the results, there's a lot of pissed off Republicans in the House who have lost their job. And during this lame duck session in the House and the Senate, there could be an impeachment actually taking place from within right now in the House, where maybe you're going to have some Republicans, now that they've lost their jobs, lost their livelihoods, maybe grow a spine.
