Democrats tried to introduce a war powers resolution through what's called unanimous consent to try to stop Donald Trump's unlawful war power exertion, Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran, and to restrain his power with congressional approval, which is frankly required under the Constitution. What you just saw right there were the MAGA Republicans rushing to take the gavel because in this pro forma session, the individuals presiding over it, because Republicans control the House of Representatives, is the is a Republican, the MAGA Republican. So as soon as the Democrats requested unanimous consent, meaning if there were no objections to it, the War powers resolution could at least pass in the House of Representatives unless there was an objection or unless a MAGA Republican declared it procedurally invalid. So that's why you heard the MAGA Republicans right there, you know, slam that gavel right there. MAGA Republican Congressmember Chris Smith started slamming the gavel down to basically say your out of order Democrats for simply trying to introduce a war powers resolution to say Congress should have some oversight over Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war. You see Democrats right here, a large group of them now outside of the House of Representatives speaking to the press about the need for diplomacy, about the need for congressional oversight. So you have that happening. A split screen costs a over in Iran Iran's new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini has broken his silence. He has said we will enter a new phase in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Also, Iran's new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Moj Taba Khomeini says to our southern neighbors, you are witnessing a miracle. See it correctly and stand in the right place. Be suspicious of the false promises of the devils. He also says, we will not abandon the criminal aggressors who attacked our country. We will demand compensation for every single damage and the blood price of our martyrs. Strong words from the Ayatollah. He's also saying, you, the heroic nation of Iran, have been the decisive victors of this battlefield. Iran today stands at the dawn of becoming a great power. So on the one hand you have MAGA Republican Congress members refusing to introduce a war powers resolution and gaveling out to not even allow the Democrats to try to introduce it. Over in Iran, you have the Ayatollah breaking his silence. We also have heard again from MB Golubov, Iran's very powerful Parliament leader. Here's what he says. Past experience has shown us that we must have absolute distrust toward the enemy. America's historic retreat and acceptance of the general framework of Iran's Ten Point Plan is an undeniable victory. But we consider it an incomplete step. If the United States stops violating its commitments, negotiations may be possible. In essence, we're not even getting to the step of negotiations. We've humiliated the United States by making them agree to our 10 point plan, which says Americans leave all military bases in the Middle East. Americans give us full residents reparations. Americans allow us to enrich uranium. Americans allow us to control the Strait of Hormuz and charge $2 million per ship. America allows full and long lasting security guarantees to Iran, Iran, Shiite groups in Iraq, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen. The United States removes all sanctions from Iran, all United nations sanctions in Iran, and it basically recognizes Iran as a major power player in the world. That's why I think even though Iran recognized that Donald Trump would likely break or not follow through on the ten Point Plan, the mere fact that Trump agreed to it has signaled to the rest of the world that Donald Trump is weak and pathetic in many ways. When Trump begged Pakistan before Trump's own self imposed 8:00pm Eastern Time deadline on Tuesday, please, can you get Iran to re offer us the ten Point Plan? We'll agree to it. We'll agree to it. I mean, the Trump regime literally drafted the social media post for Prime Minister Sharif of Pakistan. Right. The Trump regime that Iran was like, okay, you're gonna publicly announce that you agree to these terms. The powerful United States, the superpower, the country that's led the world is going to agree to all of these terms. And that right there is a bigger victory than we could ever ask for. I mean, that's what. And they're like, well, if the United States breaks the agreement, we'll just continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, which is what they're doing right now. And what we're seeing as well as Donald Trump is now threatening all of the NATO countries and European countries that you need to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz immediately. Send the ships or else. Or else. What we're actually seeing happening is a number of nations, as John Larriere. Right. A number of nations, including France and other European countries, they're just speaking directly to Iran right now. They're not speaking with the US not sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz. They're gonna speak with Iran because Iran's the power player right now. They're the ones who are controlling, who are controlling things. So they're just gonna work bilaterally with Iran. They saw how easy it is for the United States to collapse and cede all of those 10 points. You also have Iran's Foreign Minister Aragchi posting the following moments ago. He goes. Netanyahu's criminal trial resumes on Sunday. A region wide ceasefire, including in Lebanon, would hasten his jailing. If the US Wishes to crater its economy by letting Netanyahu kill diplomacy, that would ultimately be its choice. We think that would be dumb, but we are prepared for it. They're mocking Trump. Iran is mocking the. Iran is behaving like the superpower and Donald Trump is behaving like Iran used to behave. That's the wild tables are turning. Here's what Donald, after all I've just read to you, here's what Donald Trump says. Trump says he's very optimistic about a deal with Iran. They're much more reasonable. They're agreeing to what they have to. If they don't make a deal, it's gonna be very painful. I spoke with Bibi, I spoke with Bibi Netanyahu. We have to be a little more low key. A little more low key. That's what Donald Trump's telling NBC. How utterly, utterly pathetic. And folks, we'll take a look right now at what the oil markets look like. The latest US oil prices have surged $101 a barrel. They're up 11% in the past 24 hours as growing doubts exist about a US Iran cease fire deal. Or, you know, the oil companies are saying, if Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and that's your plan. And this is what the surrounding Arab nations are saying, it will make it prohibitive, cost prohibitive for us to get oil out if we have to pay $2 million for a exit fee, which we never had to pay before this catastrophic war started. And so we're seeing that set in in the market, this sober realization, which should have said in before that Donald Trump made the worst deal. I mean, you couldn't have made a worse deal than what Donald Trump. You know, and then you have the Trump regime officials now going on, state, regime, media, and they're trying to act like things are going really well. I mean, what do you got here? You've got what as the economy is contracting, you've got Kevin Hassett over here saying, oh, actually, you know, we think the economy's gonna get much better. We expect it to be gangbuster soon. Just even though the latest fourth quarter GDP numbers show that the GDP contracted even more than expected. Initially, 1.4% was what fourth quarter GDP was, then 0.7% for the fourth quarter GDP. Now we learned that the fourth quarter GDP was 0.5%. And remember, this is when Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary, said, it's going to be gangbusters. Things are going to be amazing. So this was Kevin Hassett moments ago where he was like, you know, we think that the economy is going to get much better. Just 4%, 5% growth. It's coming. It's right around the corner.
