Badlands Media - RattlerGator Report: 5/13/26 - Trump's China Pressure Summit, Iran's 13-Point Collapse, and Petro Bitcoin

Episode Date: May 13, 2026

JB White records this one at night for the first time ever, and somehow delivers one of his more loaded episodes. He walks through two sharp posts on Trump's China visit: Rob Cunningham's framing of the industry CEO delegation as a negotiation over the global financial operating system, and AJ Inapi's systematic breakdown of every pillar of Chinese global leverage that the Trump administration has already dismantled. JB then reads Mark Dubowitz's staggering 13-point summary of what has been done to Iran since the conflict began: nuclear program in ruins, missile production near zero, regime decapitated, proxy network shattered, economy in freefall. He also covers Tennessee Democrats stripped of committee assignments after setting fires in the statehouse, Gene Robinson's blunt truth about Democratic plantation politics and black independent thought, and teases the full Bitcoin Wizard Petro Bitcoin walkthrough for Friday.

The badlands, one of the badlands, explain those badlands. That's a hell of their name. Good morning. Good morning. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Raleighator report on this bodaciously beautiful day in creation. It's actually Tuesday night as I'm recording. This is my first attempt. They're trying to make a recording. And I don't know how it's going to work.

I might have to cancel this thing. If you watch it, if you see it Wednesday morning, I made it three. and said the hell with it. But this is the Wednesday Rattlegator report for May 13th, 2026, and this is episode 19.2. I had a doctor's appointment switch up a time and location on me, and that made it impossible for me to do the Wednesday show. And then I had to decide, okay, am I going to try and do this or just cancel the show? I said, the hell with it. Let me try and do this recording for the first time ever.

And you all know how I've gotten confused on a few of these things. I hope everything is going out. Everything says it's going out and the sound is fine. I tested everything. So we're going to proceed as though everything is hunky-dory. I'm betwixt in between because I've, been talking about this episode that I wanted to do something of a fisking, if you remember blogging days, and it's not exactly a fiscing, but I wanted to walk through this video because

I was so impressed with what this guy did, and it fits so much with my mindset that I wanted to make it. And I may try and race through it on Friday when hopefully I'll be able to do a live show. But let me see if I can come find where I put it. I think this is it. Yeah. And I think, oh, I can't put it. I can't put it in the chat because the Rumble, I don't have the keys yet. I have to, I will have to make a note of this. And what I will do, is in the morning before I go to my eye appointment. Yeah. That's what I'll do.

And I've already made some notations that I forgot about the other day in anticipation of having to record this. But I think we'll work it out. I think I think we'll work it out. Anyway, so I've pulled up the screen so I should be able to present it. Presuming the recording works exactly as the regular show does. This guy is irreverent. It reminds me of the kids I went to high school with, the people I was at the University of Florida with.

He's very, his irreverence is very familiar to me, but this is Adam Livingston. And he calls himself the Bitcoin Wizard. And so he posted this back in January, breaking. what Trump's Venezuelan oil war means for Bitcoin. The world just changed. In this video, I break down how the U.S. seizure of Venezuela's $17 trillion oil reserves is the beginning of the petro-bitcoin era.

Y'all may remember that's what I've been harping about. And so he's got some bullet stars, booms, why Venezuela oil matters more than ever, how Trump's strike re-collateralizes the dollar the real reason behind the strategic Bitcoin Reserve why US-backed

Bitcoin mining is about to explode and what this means for global capital scarcity and empire this isn't a drill the Bitcoin Wizard is saying the energy playbook is

being rewritten the monetary future is being programmed in real time and Bitcoin just moved from an outsider asset to sovereign war chest. Okay. So you'll have the link. Friday, I'm going to try and do this walk through or race through it or whatever. But yeah, I loved the episode.

And hopefully, okay, let me stop sharing. And what I indicated to myself in my prior write-up in preparation, there's a couple of things that are long pieces that I want to read. And the first one, oh my goodness, is that? You know what? I got to go back. Hold for processing. Let me remind you. It was, oh, that multipolar is the one I, okay, this will be

the first read. And I think you will see why I like this post. The interesting thing about this guy is he's big on XRP. He's like, okay, he's got to know, he's got to know my friend down there at Alvay Maria. And he's got one line in here that, yeah, I'm not feeling that one line, but that was the only thing I remember taking issue with. So let me see if I can present it. Take a look at the time. I can't do the clock because the clock is irrelevant since it's not 8 a.m. Wednesday morning. Let me see. Share the screen. This is Rob Cunningham. And he's talking about clarity for 100 years. And he asked, why would President Trump, author of the art of the deal, bring this exact constellation of executives to meet with Xi Jinping and one of the most compressed

geopolitical moments in modern history? Now, this is another reason why I wanted to do this recording is tomorrow is when they get cracking. And by the time the Friday show occurs, everything should have occurred. So we might be able to have some interesting discussion. Or I might just focus totally on that Bitcoin read-through. And then whatever time is left over, maybe we can talk about China. But this is topical. This is relevant.

Cunningham is saying, listen, not just politicians on that flight to China, not just diplomats. But the CEOs representing global banking, global payments. semiconductors, AI infrastructure, aerospace, food supply, tokenization, communications networks, custody, biotech, manufacturing, and capital markets. Why? Because perhaps the real negotiation is larger than trade. Perhaps the old architecture itself is under negotiation. The post-1944 world was built on these factors. Centralized debt, military enforcement, petro dollar dependency, swift control, and industrial age financial rails. I'm not sure about that. But a digital discivilization requires something different.

Cunningham is saying, hey, real-time settlement, neutral interoperability, decentralized verification, tokenized value transfer, sovereign cooperation without surrendering sovereignty, transparent ledgers instead of opaque intermediaries, and economic incentives align towards stability instead of perpetual conflict. I'm good with all of that. What if the real deal is not about China defeating America or America defeating China, but preventing mutually assured financial destruction during the largest technological transition in human history? Because AI plus quantum plus tokenization plus autonomous financial,

cannot scale on 1970s settlement rails. And if value itself becomes instant, global, programmable, and interoperable, then whoever helps architect the transition may shape the next 100 years. Maybe this is why payments giants, asset managers, chip manufacturers, aerospace leaders, and tokenization infrastructure firms are all suddenly matter in the same room. not because they represent separate industries, but because they collectively represent the operating system of the emerging world economy. A sovereignty first system. A multipolar system. Hell no.

A digitally interconnected system, potentially even a peace through prosperity system. Not a world without nations. A world where nations can transact without financial hostage taking. not centralization, interoperability, not conquest, coordination, not endless friction, atomic settlement. And perhaps that is why the room matters more than the headlines. Godspeed, Mr. President. All right. It's a good piece.

It's a damn good piece. We live in this world of competing confusions, and I am forever. fascinated how many people walk down the wrong damn street with this multipolarity nonsense. I was just like, do you not understand the United States of America? Do you really not understand? What the, I just, who are these people? I keep wondering, who are these people? Anyway, so I found, let me see, how many minutes am I in here?

I got to keep remembering. Okay. I found another piece from somebody from Papua New Guinea. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I love that. You know, let's, all kinds of people are born on this planet. And some of them happen to be born American in the mindset, but not American in the location. And I think this guy seems to be one of those people.

And so let me pull him up. and because I think he's got a much better read in this world of confusions competing confusion much better read than Cunningham although Cunningham had a damn good read but you know one one turn down the wrong damn street and that throws off your discernment in my world at least the way I look at things so let me see if I can present this and let's see if you all understand where I'm coming from and why I'm trying to highlight this man. And I just found him the other day. All right. Here he goes. And this is how he begins. China spent 20 to 30 years building a silent economic empire around the world.

And now President Trump is flying into Beijing to start dismantling parts of it in front of the entire world. And most people think this. China visit is about diplomacy. They're missing the real game completely. This isn't a peace summit. It's a pressure summit. And President Trump is walking into Beijing from the strongest negotiating position the U.S. has had against China in years. That's why he's taking so many people from diverse fields, by the way. Why? Because since January 2025, the administration has systematically attacked the pillars of China's global leverage, massive tariffs designed to force supply chain relocation, semiconductor restrictions choking China's AI and military

civil fusion ambitions, rare earth diversification to break Beijing's monopoly weapon, investment restrictions blocking Chinese penetration into strategic U.S. sectors, LNG and oil expansion, strengthening American energy dominance, Indo-Pacific friend-shoring to reduce dependency on Chinese manufacturing. Most people only look at the tariffs. That surface level, my friend. The real strategy is much, much bigger. President Trump's team is trying to dismantle China's ability to economically coerce the world. And then came the Iran conflict. This changed everything. When Iranian oil infrastructure and straight of Hormuz traffic became unstable earlier this year up till now, China suddenly faced a brutal reality. Its economy is still highly vulnerable to

external energy shocks. That matters because China imports enormous amounts. of oil. And Iran has been one of Beijing's key pressure valves against Western influence. So now President Trump arrives in Beijing with leverage on multiple fronts at once. Trade leverage, technology leverage, energy leverage, supply chain leverage, geopolitical leverage. That's why this visit matters. Watch for what comes next. Increase Chinese purchases of American energy and agriculture. pressure campaigns around fentanyl precursors negotiations tied to rare earth exports

AI and chip access being used as bargaining tools and quiet pressure on Beijing regarding Iran and Russia this is not America begging China for stability this is the United States forcing China to negotiate inside an American designed framework and whether people like President Trump or not one motherfucking thing is becoming very difficult to deny.

The era of passive U.S. foreign policy is over, biotch. We are watching the return of hard power economics in real time. Most headlines will talk about diplomacy. The real story is the restructuring of global leverage. And the scary part, most people still don't fully grow. grasp how deep this economic war already is. The next generation better start learning geopolitics fast. The world being built right now will determine who controls trade, energy, technology,

food, shipping lanes, AI, and global finance for the next 30 years. That is my friend, AJ Inopi. Fantastic write-up. naturally rose right with my confirmation bias. I just, wow, I need to go ahead and copy that and make a note. So I put it in the Rumble Chat tomorrow before I go to my appointment. So I've got to make this notation right now. That's already in there.

I've read the multipolar and I've read it nappy. All right. So we're good to go. We're good to go there. Let me think. Now, what else do I want to get accomplished? Let me save that internally before I forget. And I need to see.

I need to see. Okay, wow, I've got plenty of time. I don't know why we stop sharing and think through. What else I want to get to? There's just so much going on But I think I want to ramble just for a little bit about this China thing again. I'm just so Surprised still

People don't seem to understand You know I can't quite come I can't quite figure out how I want to because I don't want to criticize the Promethean action people I think Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd have been fantastic very informative and accurate

it seems to me on so much but you all know my critique is the navel gazing and I don't think they think they're navel gazing because they understand the breath

the width the strength of that whole city of London thing and I don't want to say they take it for granted but for people just listening and they hear city of London They may narrowly just think city of London, but for me, it's much better to just say these European empires, because that's mostly what it is. It's led by the city of London cabal, that form of globalist.

And again, my theory, back at your bitch's battle plan that Donald Trump is executing to perfection is these globalists, these Europeans, have been played for the first. by the Chinese. And I think about some of our people who start, you know, smart people who start talking this America, Russia, China stuff. And it's like, yeah, that's why these Europeans were so easily played for the fool. The same reason, the same reason people talk America, Russia, China, sovereign lines nonsense. As these motherfuckers, they're dumping fentanyl into our country. Straight up warfare. as these people are infiltrating all kinds of mofus to pimp the environmental movement to slow down American progress.

To engage all of these, especially on the West Coast, I just think, my goodness, all up and down the West Coast, these Chinese people have infiltrated so many, so many spies, so many wrongdoers. It's just incredible how they've tried to take advantage of our freedoms. But they've learned from the Russians, and the Russians have fooled for generations. How many Americans? I think about this Walter Durante idiot at the New York Times. And the New York Times is still being fooled by these motherfucking Russians to this very day. because it is European left wing

dumbassery that the American left wing follows. They slurp it. Oh my goodness. Don't make me start talking about longer pornographic stuff. But man, do they? Anyway. And who

fools these dumbass European left wingers better than these Russians? Nobody fools these dumbass. European left wingers more than these Russians. It's incredible. Except here come the Chinese. And again, I talk about Angela Merkel being a dumbass communist, I think with family background in East Germany. And she was stupid for the Russians. Turned out to be stupid for the Chinese, like so many Germans. And their envy of the

American enterprise, just stupid for the Chinese. And they are lamenting that nonsense right now, if they've got any brains whatsoever, because the Chinese have succored them. And they're going to gut the German automobile industry. And between Russia and China, they've done a number on Germany, a serious number, not the least of which is pimping up all. of these illegal migrants to bum rush Europe and force these dumbass left-wingers all over Europe to make bad decisions contrary to the interests of their population. It is a stunning thing to behold. But white guilt is incredible and incredibly constraining even with the mind.

it just screws up the mind. So I think I will jump from there to, I saw this piece. I don't think I'm going to read all of it because it's a fairly long piece. This is from Gene Robinson. But let's see. I just made a quick comment.

I'm going to try and highlight that. This is my comment. But Gene's piece, Maybe I'll, he said, notice the pattern. Every disagreement over maps, districts, voter ID, or election law instantly becomes, you know the drill, racism, Jim Crow, voter suppression, democracy is ending. Meanwhile, they completely ignore one glaring reality. Black voter turnout in many elections has been extraordinarily high for years. Black Americans are voting in massive numbers, winning mayor races, holding congressional seats,

electing prosecutors, electing presidents, running major cities serving on the Supreme Court. Then the historical claim that black Americans are somehow being erased from democracy collapses under its own weight. But it's all been bullshit, all of it. And so this is what I said. I quoted him, what Democrats fear is not. not black voters losing power. They fear black voters thinking independently. And that got me a triple bingo bingo bingo because that is the stone cold truth.

They want you on that plantation and they will be damned if they let you just willingly walk off that plantation. Oh no. Oh no. You're going to get called all kinds of names. And you're going to be attacked. You're going to be otherized, what I call niggerized. And, yeah, persona non grata. Because somehow politics becomes more important to them. They've trained all sectors of their party to believe that politics is more important than morality, friendship, family.

It's an incredible thing to behold. The left wing is the home of fascism. Nazi national. So all of that is left wing shit. And this COVID nonsense that these people forced us to go through proves it. Never has anything more fascist been done in our country than what the left wing on this COVID nonsense subjected our country to it. No, that's a fact. I don't give a damn what you say.

It's a fact. People need to stop with the foolishness. okay so let me come back to center and we still have a few minutes left before i need to get to the maybe i should go ahead and just get the advertisements out of the way now one of the problems you know with this diabetes and uh recording this show at night I lose energy I lose energy quick and it's like I'm sitting here now like

at where beards grow wild and lips dare to crack without permission. One woman has suffered. Hi, I'm Margie, and I'm J.Triot's mother. But the world would come to know her by another name. Madame Margie, the moistureless. Jay came home with a lip-on. It's called soft disclosure.

With one miraculous application, her power awakened. Within one day, my lips were healed. It was miraculous. But salvation came at a cost. Or in the shadowed lands known only as bad lands. You boys that bad lands are so handsome. She saw potentials. You're covering up their beautiful faces.

Okay, all right. Let's see if we can't keep rocking and rolling. What the hell is that? Oh, that's my microphone. I just, okay, never noticed that. I want to do Seth Davis, Sean Davis, a little quick honor. He made a good post today, I do believe. Let me see.

Yeah, that's today. This afternoon, in fact. Let me see if I can present it. Without getting the feedback from y'all, you know, ordinarily I'm doing a little bit of bouncing back and forth with the chat, especially right about now. But hey, that's a no-go. Let's share. And this is Sean. Breaking.

Notice. has just been given to Democrats in the Tennessee House that all members of the Democrat Caucus are being removed from all standing committees and subcommittees as a result of their behavior in the State House during the redistricting debates last week, which included setting fires inside the Capitol

and attacking law enforcement. In the state of Tennessee, political terrorism will not be tolerated. National Republicans, take note that this is how you exercise power. Now, ordinarily, I'd be shouting some expletives right about now in support. I'm trying to hold back, but yes, I 100% support this. I am especially outraged by this Pearson, dumbass, perpetrating in Tennessee.

My God, do I hate African-American perpetrators. traders. And you got to go play this role. You got to go try and talk in this cadence that is not your normal speech. You got to grow out some afro. You got to wear some type kente. You got to just do all of this nonsense rather than just be a normal black American. And I saw this idiot boy. I think he was at a church. Jason Whitlock highlighted it. And he's sitting up there like the Holy Spirit got into him. The Holy Ghost made him dance. Motherfucker.

I just, yeah, I could whoop some ass. I could whip some ass over that type bullshit. And we've got to quit play acting like that in the Black America, you know. Just can we have some straight up conversation? Just some straight up conversation. You ain't got to agree with me. you can take a strong democratic position. But that kind of

performative nonsense is not sit down and shut the hell up with that foolishness. No. No. Not going to have it. I saw a video. I saw a post.

This post is commenting on a video I've seen. I've been watching a bunch of British stuff. Oh my goodness. They frustrated me so much. They always have. Their left wing, most especially, but sometimes even their right wing over there.

But I'm looking at a post from a handle, scary Europe. And they called their account, Make Europe Great Again. And it's saying a resurface video is causing shockwaves across Britain. And the accusations are explosive. An old clip has re-emerged showing London mayor, Sadiq Khan, no love for that boy, and UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, together in Pakistan,

years before either of them rose to power and our very own Colonel Towner commented today. And, you know, she's a Betty badass and she is steady on the case. Let me... quickly present her short comment. She's been doing a lot of this.

Like I've been saying, most people have no idea. Mom Donnie's dad is CIA. The Obama family is CIA. And this is all Fabian gradualism. There's a clear track. Oxford, Milner, Rhodes, all of these things. are connected. And that is, that's the stone cold truth. I think we're getting ready to learn

some really shocking levels of infiltration within certain nodes of our establishment. This is, again, my point all along. I can remember when I was writing for American greatness. Oh man, why am I drawing a blank? This man had an untimely early death. And I question now. I'm not sure. That was a straight up legit early death. They may have taken him out.

I don't dwell on that kind of thing. I don't, you know, I do know many of these conspiracies are distractions. And I will not be distracted in that kind of way. But, wow. Wow. Why am I drawing a blanket driving me crazy? But anyway, he was making some points about, you know, look, we need to shut down. The CIA, we need to start over. And he made it, he was, it was very compelling.

The arguments, okay, let me stop sharing this. And I don't even know if my, you know, I don't even have the chat to tell me whether my video is freezing when this happens. But, wow. Yeah, the name is just not going to come to me. And I hate to sit here and take time. Angelo, Codevilla. Angelo, Codd Villa. Fantastic writer.

If y'all have never seen him, I mean, you know what? Let me do a quick search. I probably haven't talked about this guy enough on my program. But, buddy, he impressed the hell out of me. his writings impressed the hell out of me. And I see a link, Modern Age. This is Modern Age journal. This is a conservative review.

And maybe I will put this in the chat as well. Angelo Coddville, a prophet of America First. And he anticipated the rise of Donald Trump. This is a piece from France. P. Sempa, September 11th, 2025. Yeah, let me, let me copy this. Put the link in what I'm going to need to put out tomorrow. It's not going to be all-inclusive of what I'm doing,

but it's a reminder to I need to reach out to Julie Ponzi. I haven't talked to her in quite some time. Incredible chick. Let me save this. Okay, and then let me just present it real quick. Maybe I read the first paragraph work two. I hadn't planned on this, but hey, we like being spontaneous. And speaking of spontaneous, silence this phone.

and Code Villa. I need to present Code Villa. This is the man himself speaking at CPAC in National Harbor, Maryland, 2013. On September 20, 2021, America lost one of its most thoughtful and brave intellectuals when Angelo Codd Villa died in a car accident in Tracy, California. He was 78 years old, an immigrant from Italy. He had served his adopted country in the country. the Navy in the Foreign Service and as a staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He was a

teacher and prolific author of books and essays on politics and national security. This September Encounter Books will release a short book on Codevilla's legacy title, Fighting Enemies Foreign and Domestic, which is not only a tribute to the great man, but also a blueprint for reclaiming America's greatness. I'm going to have to get that. I'm going to It's a good reminder to me. I'm going to have to get that. In fact, I'm going to have to go in my files. I was so impressed with some of the stuff this man wrote.

I saved some of his columns. I just copy and pasted it because I said, well, in the years coming forward, I'm going to have to refer back to some of this stuff. Maybe even some of it where you hear me. You hear me now. I don't like throwing out the baby with bath water. and I don't shit on the CIA or the FBI.

And I know they've got wrongdoing nodes, but I think they're doing still elements of the FBI and CIA are doing phenomenal work to this day for the American people. I believe that. So, but yeah, I think he was just so frustrated. And he had a bird's eye view. He knew far more than me. And it's why I said, yeah, I need to pay attention to this man.

He may be 100% correct. And in fact, we may need to do exactly what he's saying. And maybe on this little interregnum where I'm going to try and get a move finished off and try and do a little bit of thinking without having to concern myself with a show three days a week. And I am totally distracted and I'm totally focused on trying to get this move done. I've targeted two individuals because I've got this Andersonville project in mind, you know, in terms of our family, the National Cemetery and the history of America. I've got these ideas and I just don't think there are many people inside our family thinking like I'm thinking.

And this may be a tremendous opportunity that gets lost if I don't move forward. and try and push something for it, even knowing the odds are against me. And like nothing is likely to come of it, I still think the effort needs to be undertaken. And so that's what I'm going to do. But I've targeted two people today up there in Atlanta. And it's like, yeah, I've got to set up a meeting. And I need to see them face to face and see if they see what I see, if they have some excitement. about this possibility that I have.

And then trying to figure out how it can benefit the family. And so the pitch can then be made to the family. And logic prevails. And that's a challenge. That is a challenge. I'm sure there's going to be some bullshit. But look, the effort has to be undertaken. And I am going to undertake the effort.

So I'm very excited about that. And I'm very much focused on. that. But yeah, I'm very happy that this code villa just maybe during this period I can read through some of this book and reacquaint myself with some of his, some of his positions. Okay. Did I get rid of? I guess I did. I did Colonel Towner. I did the Bitcoin Wizard. There's a piece on, hmm, do I want to do this South Carolina piece? You know, Look, I'm a southern boy and proud of it. And you don't have to live long as a southern,

Southerner to get around this country and see how easily, how casually. People can talk the dumbest shit possible about South. It doesn't matter if you're talking about white people, black people, whatever. It's just dumbassery. Just get spewed on the regular. You don't know shit about shit. What are you talking about? But so Roecona, I think that's a California dumbass, right?

We talk some stupid shit. And bad hombre, bad hombre had a comment. Let me see if I can present this. It's worthy of quick comment. As a point of fact, South Carolina has had a black secretary of state. A black state treasurer, two black lieutenant governors, a black attorney general, and one of their United States senators is black. Motherfucker. All Republicans, by the way. And bad ambri is saying, I remember when people were too embarrassed to display their ignorance, but not Rocana and not a whole bunch of Democrats who just pull shit out of. their ass I was watching because I am a sports guy first and foremost and that's all I

really want to be focusing off first and foremost and what did I see I saw a clip today J.B was it yet J.B. and Smitty and they're commenting on Lane Kiffin sweet Jesus am I so glad our Athletic Director and Danny Werfel and others. Cut that shit off at the past. All these people wanted to hire this motherfucker. I would have, I just, I don't care if he would have won. I did not want that motherfucker as my coach.

I said, hey, man, you hire him. I'm going to love him because whoever we hire as a head coach, I'm going to love him. But that boy. So what is this dumb ass doing? Lane Kiffin. What is he doing now? Well, he's taking his punk ass to LSU. and he's talking stupid shit about Ole Miss

because of course Ole Miss is racist and Oxford, Mississippi is racist and the state of Mississippi is racist and so now you got a boy in Red Stick, Louisiana

talking shit about Mississippi and he's got a friend who is the head coach at the University of Texas. Sarkeesian. Both of them were at Alabama and, you know, they're now loading up on this boy who has become the head coach at Ole Miss, who doesn't have the name, he doesn't have the Pannash, you know. Many people thought it's absurd that this boy now has the head coaching job at Ole Miss, but apparently it was by and large with black players at Ole Miss who said, yeah, we want this boy to be our head coach. And now you got these two white boys sitting there at more powerful football institutions

talking shit about Ole Miss. I'm like, shut up. Just shut the hell up. I just, it ain't what we do. This is not the kind of thing you do. Okay. This is one of the things about the South Eastern Conference as a family. This ain't what you do.

This is not what you do. And, yeah, there needs to be some ass-whiping going on. Hopefully, Ole Miss will be able to beat their ass when they come to Oxford this season. Maybe even, I don't know if Ole Miss plays Texas. But anyway, I'm, I'm, I'm. hopeful I'm hopeful that they can achieve against the odds. I'm not, you know, I'm a passive fan because I'm a 100% Gator, but I'm a passive fan of the USC Gamecocks, the Carolina Gamecocks.

And I'm a passive fan of Texas A&M Aggies. But wow, next season I might have to be a passive Ole Miss rebel fan. I just, I don't, I don't like how all of that stuff played out. I am thankful that we did not get that coach. I sat up there at the Florida, Georgia game, you know, about to run out of time. But this is just, there was a couple sitting behind the group I was with and had a beautiful daughter who I told them, man, your daughter is beautiful. But they were, I think, from Greenville, South Carolina, but they had gator connections and they had old Miss. connections. And I think the daughter was a student at Ole Miss. And I was like, okay, what do you think? Is Lane going to leave? Is he going to come to Gainesville? Because at that time, all the people in Gainesville were saying, Lane Kiffin is coming. It is a done deal. And I was saying, man, I hope he stays at Ole Miss. It just seemed like a perfect situation for him and the school. And of course, LSU waived all that money. And so now, okay, my mic, I don't.

don't know why but uh my wife my mind anyway i'm hoping some mississippi boy don't shoot that fool dead because he keeps talking some shit about mississippi they go kill him i don't think he understands lane kiffin better shut the fuck up he better shut the fuck up okay gang i'm done with this recording i don't quite know i think i can just click in recording and that'll be that Jessica, thank you so much for doing whatever you're going to do to get this program presented at 8 a.m. Wednesday morning. Okay, with that, ladies and gentlemen, I'm overtime. Wait a minute. I looked at the clock. I'm not overtime. Oh, my God. I'm so confused and delirious. I'm looking at my clock, and it just passed 8 o'clock. And it's like,

Yeah, the show is over. But no, that's just it's the recording time, 8 p.m. I'm only 52, 53 minutes in. Wow. I don't know how long my mic was muted, but hopefully it was just for a few seconds. So I've got the Lane Kiffin thing in there. Lane better shut up. I hope you all understand what I'm saying. I think if you're from the South and you know what I'm saying. That boy better watch his mouth. I don't think they understand. This ain't. This ain't play acting. This is not play acting. I'm going to read now. This boy did, I think it was, he did a graphic.

I'm going to read. Let's see, when was this presented? April 23rd. And he was talking about 13 ways. in which we've slapped Iran around. And our enemy combatant news media is working very hard for you to not know this, understand, it, comprehended. But let me present this guy. Mark Dubovitz.

I think that's his name. I'm checking that and make sure there's no sound. I'm so worried now that, wow, did I have 20 minutes of no sound? I don't know. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. But that is definitely possible. I've done it before.

All right, here's the sharing. And my man says, if you told me a few years ago, this is where we'd be on Iran. I'd have said you were high. Point number one, the nuclear program set back years. Enrichment and reprocessing gutted, weaponization sites destroyed, four-dial, inoperable, Natanz, in ruins and a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated. Point number two, ballistic missile program crippled,

monthly production down from 100 to near zero. Roughly half the regime's missiles and launchers destroyed. The IRGC Airspace Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise is dead. Air defenses devastated. American and Israeli air power dominating Iranian skies with strike aircraft operating over the country with near impunity. Point four, full economic warfare, not just OFAC sanctions anymore, but military pressure layered on top.

Naval blockade, near zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel, petrochemical sectors, triple digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless. Regime decapitation. Kamani is dead. Larjani is dead. Hundreds of senior IRGC intelligence, military, and besiege commanders dead, including the IRGC commander-in-chief, the armed forces chief of staff, and the aerospace force commander.

Mostabha Khomeinii inheriting a hollowed out regime with no supreme authority and a gutted command structure. Point six, the region is turning on Tehran. Gulf states shutting down the sanctions busting, money laundering, and financial escape routes. The regime has relied on for years. No Arab capital is willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China and Russia are both providing limited support. Point seven, the proxy network is shattered.

Hezbollah and Hamas heavily degraded. The Houthi political leadership is taking direct Israeli strikes. And the axis of resistance and their ring of fire are now more slow. They're real threats. Point eight, the Syrian corridor is severed. Assad is gone. The new government in Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah. Arresting smugglers and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a transit corridor for Tehran's terrorists.

The land bridge to the Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed. Point nine. Lebanon is pivoting. West. With Hezbollah battered and resupply choked, Israel and Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time since 1983 aimed at a permanent agreement and Hezbollah's disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct repudiation of Hezbollah's resistance claim. That's all to be determined, but Lebanon is pivoting.

Point 10, deterrence is exposed as a bluff. Four direct attacks on Israel, that's April, 24, October, 24, June, 2025, and March 26 failed to impose strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn't even use Syria as a launch path. Point 11. Their economy is hollowed out from within. Power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest, and mass protests.

Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December 2025 after a year of economic freefall with Vassaris, oil workers, and truckers, the regime's traditional support base, joining strikes across all 31 provinces. And they're running out of oil storage space. There are fuel shortages, the worst crisis for them since 1979. Point 12, scientific and technical brain drain is occurring. Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of irreplaceful expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development. The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter.

Point 13, naval power is decimated. The regular Navy is shattered. The IRGC Navy is taking growing losses as CENTCOM moves to reopen or moves. And against all of this, the regime is forced to play its Hormuz card at its weakest possible moment when the U.S. has options instead of when we didn't, namely Tehran with nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese and Russian-built military, hundreds of thousands of attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions of dollars to harden its economy. That's the strategic picture. It's extraordinary. There's much more to do, of course, but I can't comprehend how much has already been achieved.

And that's from April 23rd. And this is the point, ladies and gentlemen. Donald Trump has nothing but time. These people can sit there and talk whatever yang they want. They can bump their gums till the cows come home. None of that's going to matter. None of that's going to matter at all. We're in the driver's seat.

There can only be one. And we are that motherfucking one. As our president goes to China to make sure they know who Billy badass is. And that's Donald J. Trump. Okay. I see that I am at the one minute. The one hour mark. God only knows how much of this audio worked.

I hope most of it, all of it. But I'm going to end this recording and I'm going to say later Gators, I hope to see you bright and early. Friday morning for another edition of the Rattagator Report.
