00:00He's not appeared in public, so we've got to assume that the military, the hardcore Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, are
00:06in charge.
00:07They've spread out their control laterally, horizontally, as it were, amongst the 31 provinces.
00:15They're still acting on orders. They've got extraordinary resilience.
00:20They are in control, largely, of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:23They are charging shipping $2 million a time for every vessel that comes through there, saying, you can come through,
00:29you can't, you're an aggressor, you belong to an aggressive state, you don't.
00:33They're exporting over a million barrels a day of their own Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz to China
00:41and to India.
00:42Well, Gulf Arab states, oil and gas is sitting idle here on this side of the Gulf.
00:46It's a terrible situation for the Arab Gulf states. It's a pretty strong one for Iran.
00:51And the U.S. is not, despite what it says, achieving its aims in this war.
00:59Choosing web hosting feels confusing.
01:04Unleash hell. Again, that belligerent language from the White House podium.
01:08Iran's foreign minister says the U.S. has sent messages through intermediary nations, but he does not think that amounts

01:19The war continues to rage in this region.
01:22Iranian media says that U.S. and Israeli strikes hit a residential area in the city of Shiraz, killing 20
01:29people there.
01:29And the Israeli military says that it hit cruise missile production sites in Tehran.
01:34In Lebanon, another front of this war, the health ministry says the death hole has now risen to 1,100
01:41people.
01:42Listen to what the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said about those operations in Lebanon.
01:52The dismantling of Hezbollah remains a top priority.
01:55This is also tied to the broader campaign against Iran, which, as I said,
02:01the U.S. is a top priority.
02:29I don't know.
03:00Republicans are trying to convince the American people that Democrats should be blamed.
03:05Wait a second.
03:06Last time I checked, Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency.
03:11And you spent the last 15 months trying to lecture the American people that you have some historic mandate.
03:17If, in fact, that is the case, when the government shuts down in its entirety or partially,
03:23it's because Republicans have decided to shut the government down.
03:28And in this particular instance, to prioritize ICE brutality over the American people.
03:36There's legislation that is available for Republicans to bring to the floor that would pass overwhelmingly
