Trump Returns to D.C. as His Iran Strategy Unravels

Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. after a disastrous trip to Houston. And Houston, we have a problem. Reality hitting Donald Trump hard. He comes back to Washington, D.C. with his overall approval at historic lows, the lowest in presidential history. He was told that he couldn't speak at the 9-11 memorial coming up because they just don't allow speakers, especially speakers who are going to politicize the event. So he's like, I'm not even going to show up in Manhattan for the 25th anniversary of 9-11. He was ranting and raving like a lunatic. So he had to go to his safe space. So late last night, he had his authoritarian in Venezuela, Delce Rodriguez, post about this fake deal that Donald Trump was announcing with Venezuela, the biggest oil deal in history. Not suspicious at all, as you lost the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran, as Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, as oil prices and diesel prices surge to record highs, inflation surging. We just heard from the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Warsh, who Donald Trump appointed, who said that we're likely going to need to increase and raise the interest rates. Not suspicious at all that Donald Trump then announces we're going to do the biggest deal in oil in American history. So that's what he posts. Our deal with Venezuela is the biggest in history. Breaking news, breaking news. He breaks his own news on his social media platform to manipulate markets. The United States of America has just entered into an agreement with the country of Venezuela on the biggest oil deal in world history. Then you go through the details of it and it just seems so utterly phony. It's going to allow the U.S. to have control of more oil. than 65 billion barrels of proven oil. And then Donald Trump says, we're going to do this deal with partnerships involving private businesses. All right, which private businesses? What the hell are you even talking about? Then late last night, around 11 p.m., Donald Trump reposts Delcy Rodriguez and her statement talking about this. We did this historic deal with the United States. And I'll show you in a little bit what some Venezuelan economists are saying as well, that this thing is completely phony. It's BS. We'll delve into it, of course. But let's talk about what's going down. So Donald Trump arrives in Washington, D.C. from that weird trip in Houston. You can see over here, Natalie Harp was accompanying Donald Trump wherever he went. Take a look right here. Natalie Harp staring at Trump and smiling while he was in Houston. Just show you what that looked like. It was so odd. Here, play this clip. And we'll all see you when you get back, right? We're going to see them when they get back. So then Donald Trump arrives in Andrews Air Force Base and he starts yelling at people off camera. But you could see him struggling down the stairs. Play this clip. He then gets lost, doesn't know where he is. They get back to Washington, D.C. And then you see Natalie follow him into the White House. I'll show you over here as Trump returns. To the White House from Texas. Take a look. This is what's going down today. Here's the schedule. Donald Trump will be at his Virginia Golf Club doing a fundraiser for MAGA Inc., where he seems to just take in all this money for himself, but hasn't really spent any of it for the midterms. But all of his events are closed to the press today. He's not addressed. He is calling his stenographers like Barack Ravid over at Axios. Earlier yesterday, they ran with the story, that sucker is open. U.S. gains the upper hand in the battle for Hormuz. My story on Axios. Your story on Axios. Yes, we control the Strait of Hormuz. So true. Obviously, it's so ridiculously false. And let's just assume you were right. Then where is Donald Trump? He's not at the Strait of Hormuz. No, he's not at the Strait of Hormuz. Where is Donald Trump? All of this oil going because it's shoring getting to the American people. Why else would oil prices be surging and crude prices be surging? Because y'all are lying and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. I'm sure there are a few tankers that get by in the southern Oman route. I'm not saying none get by, but we can pretty much see for ourselves where these tankers are. And we know that certainly not getting. These tankers out anywhere near what it looked like before this catastrophic war started. It's not even close. And look, the people get what's going on here. I mean, take a look at this North Carolina Trump voter. Here's what this North Carolina Trump voter has to say. I think he severely underestimated what he was going up against. I think. Take a look at these various women. I've been showing you a lot of clips like this. Two Iowa women described the brutal reality of rising costs. And, you know, you have a Trump supporters as well here. Play this clip. President Trump promised to bring down prices. You voted for him three times. Are you disappointed? Very disappointed. Very disappointed. Why? Because the price haven't gone down. I don't know. I don't know. I just I'm over it. I think over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon, whatever you want to call it. You could talk directly to the president. About the war, about the prices, about the economy. What would you tell him? Stop the bulls**t. Make America great, like you said. That's what I'd say. Because in the real world, you know, this Wall Street Journal headlines accurate drain on U.S. munitions from Iran war raises fears over ability to deter China. Russia Defense Secretary Hegseth oversees the shift of munitions using an order. Books under longstanding Pentagon procedures, whatever that means. But we talked earlier about the Guardian report. And I'll do another video on this because there's lots of military leaders who are warning that we're not making our payroll anymore when it comes to even our service members. So the Navy has to raid the payroll in order to pay for certain combat missions. And so there are some contractors who are not able to. Even get paid right now. And there's like deferred compensation issues, which is just utterly embarrassing. So again, with all of this taking place, Donald Trump rushes to Axios. Well, he makes the post on his social media platform about record deal, historic deal that we did with Venezuela to try to change the topic away from the catastrophic war in Iran, go back to his safe place, his alliance with the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, who he calls very well respected for any of the Venezuelans in the United States or in Venezuela, who thought that we were going to do democracy or no, no, no, no. Donald Trump is all about draining and taking the resources. And then there's a Qatari bank account where we have zero transparency, where at least eight billion dollars apparently has gone to this Qatari bank account controlled by Donald Trump. And no one knows what's going on with the money. But. There's eight billion dollars or maybe even more that went to this Qatari account. But this is what then Axios, another Axios writer, writes this story. So you have the other Axios writer, that sucker is open. The Strait of Hormuz is open. No, it's not. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. lost the war in Iran. We all know that we're not stupid like we get that. But then separately, now they're pushing this thing on us. Scoop U.S. to close massive deal over Venezuelan oil fields. The Trump administration is in talk with Venezuela's interim government about taking an ownership stake in South American countries. Enormous oil resources. Two sources, tell Axios. Usually with Barak Ravid, it's three sources, tell him. The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world's largest proven reserves. One of the things that should be noted as well, though, is that the type of crude that comes from it is also like a stickier. Kind that really doesn't do well in our refineries, which what does do well is Canadian crude. But OK, let's keep on reading what it's got when it says calling this deal huge would be an understatement. One official said it's massive. I don't know. It was the source, Donald Trump adding pressure to get the deal signed. The wars in Iran and Ukraine, which disrupt which disrupted global oil supplies and raise prices. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now at a 40 year low. Details are still being hammered. The U.S. The U.S. The discussions involve more than a dozen productive oil fields. Not all of Venezuela's 300 billion barrels of proven reserves. The Venezuelan oil deal will be a legacy defining moment for Donald Trump, who has made U.S. energy security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere pillars of his so-called Don Roe doctrine. Trump is close to securing America's energy future for generations to come. Like, isn't this the dumbest propaganda imaginable? This is coming because we know we lost the catastrophe. We lost the catastrophe. We the catastrophic war in Iran, the United States security umbrella has collapsed internationally. So they're rolling this out. massive deals about to happen. Let's just assume the deal happened, which this is all BS. Who are the private companies who are doing this? And we know Exxon and Conoco are not investing in any of this. They're staying out. So who are the private companies investing allegedly $100 billion in this? That's the story. We don't know who they are. Super secret. We don't see any paperwork. There's no documents. You just have to trust Donald. You just have to trust him. But even if it was accurate, the infrastructure wouldn't be built for 5, 10, 15 years. Five years the soonest. You can't just start this tomorrow. So this is not going to impact anything that deals with the fact that Americans can't afford things anytime soon. But in any event, this entire story is BS. But even if you believe it, like if this is what Trump posted last night, this was the statement from Delce Rodriguez. Venezuela announces, no work agreement with the United States. By the way, this is what Trump wanted Iran to do. Just basically agree to his fake deals, bend the knee, allow Trump to do all these lies and fraud. And Iran's like, no, we're not doing this. We're a sovereign country. We're not going to go along with this crap. But Delce Rodriguez is like, I extend my deepest gratitude to Donald Trump. And he posts this like 11 p.m. The agreement will allow, this is what Delce Rodriguez, the authoritarian leader of Venezuela said, the agreement will allow for a significant increase in oil production with the participation of the United States. And the agreement will allow for a significant increase of private operators. It calls for the development of 17 strategic fields with a proven potential of 65 billion barrels of oil and investment to more than $100 billion and more than $209 billion in taxes for the state. These investments will contribute not only to the recovery and modernization of our industry, but also to our country's economic growth. Who's investing the $100 billion? You're just making up numbers. As Venezuelan economist, Francesco, Rodriguez says, President Delce Rodriguez, he's saying, according to your figures, this agreement will generate tax revenue of just $3.22 per barrel of Venezuelan oil. This represents 4.7% of the current price and less than half of the royalty rate contemplated in concessions granted by Juan Vicente Gomez, who was one of the prior dictators of Venezuela. So he's like, you, your dictatorship deal with Trump is like, you're going to have to pay for it. You're going to have to pay for it. Less than half of the royalties of our prior dictatorship. You're just looting and pillaging from the people of Venezuela. And this ain't going to help the gas prices in the United States go down. What, the money's just going to go to the Qatari bank account? And people get it. I mean, look, even state regime media, they're saying for Michigan residents, they're bearing the biggest burden of Trump's tariffs. All right, Lauren, which state is carrying the $13 per household since January of 2025 through this June. Tariffs greatly affect Michigan's car industry. And then I just want to note this as well. When Donald Trump was in Houston, he didn't know how to use a telephone. I just think this is very telling. Like he's never used a telephone in his life. And you can see him here, like speak to this telephone, like three feet from two feet from his face. Like, what do we even, they're like looking at him too. Like, dude, do you know how to use a telephone? And as Aaron said, he's like, I don't know how to use a telephone. And as Aaron Ruppar says, Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic on a landline phone to astronauts on space is like an SNL cold open. Yeah, it'd be funny if so many people weren't being hurt by this. And then as Donald Trump attacks Canada and says, we're changing Lake Ontario to Lake America. Which nobody else is going to agree to other than the despicable Trump regime. And as Trump says, oh, we're going to go after their autos. We're going after Canada. No one treats us as badly. Donald Trump then yesterday afternoon started further attacking the United Kingdom and said that if you don't do what I want to do, and Trump like makes up these arbitrary things, you got to get your spending 5% of your GDP on military. Then he always moves the benchmarks. Because if you don't do that, we are not going to recognize your claim over the Falklands. We're going to recognize Argentina's sovereignty over it. So screw you. I mean, there was a war that was fought over this. The Falkland War, 74 day conflict in 1982, the United Kingdom won. The Falkland Islands are independent territory, but part of the UK. It's like, what do you like? This is what you're doing now. You're picking a fight with the UK over the Falkland Islands. But folks, Donald Trump does want you to know the biggest oil deal in the world. By far ever. Don't be, don't remember what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. This is the biggest deal has just happened here. It's not, you're never going to see it in the pump. You're never going to know where the money's going to go, but we just say deal. And we'll just throw out numbers. 65 billion, a hundred billion, 212 billion, big billion numbers. The American people know what's going on. You're a clown. You're a fascist. You're a sexual predator. You're a felon. You're a sicko. You're a piece of trash. You're a loser. You're weak. You're pathetic. You've turned the America. You turn the United States of America into like a clown country, Loserville under you. People hate this crap. They're done. That's why your approval's tanking. Go do what you got to do with Natalie in Virginia. You sicko, freaking sicko. People are sick of this crap. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching everybody.
