Is the administration actively considering putting U.S. boots on the ground? What do you want to say about the president's plans for troops on the ground? Will we need the boots on the ground to go in and disrupt that? There was no imminent threat to the United States. Matter of fact, there was not even an imminent threat to Israel. But the American people deserve answers from the administration. So in today's video, what we have here is the continuous debate regarding the president refusing to condemn the idea that he could potentially decide to put boots on

ground in the country of Iran. I'm going to explain what's really behind him doing that. And secondly, Democrats continue to show their level of hypocrisy, as you guys know. So before we go any further, let me play you exactly what Mike Waltz told Kristen Walker regarding this idea of boots on the ground. Take a listen. President Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. boots on the ground in Iran. Well, I'm not going to get ahead of those conversations. I can tell you, unlike his predecessors, both Obama and Biden, President Trump is never going to take options off the table. I'm a former special operator. We have troops and assets that are focused on seizing weapons of mass destruction if needed and if so, ordered.

But again, I just go back to how consistent the president has been on this point. In his campaigns in 2016, 2020, 24, he has consistently said Iran can never have a nuke. He'll do what's necessary to make sure they don't. And I can tell you what the American people, my former constituents voted for, was a president who means what he says, stands on his red lines, doesn't back away from him as his predecessors did, and never takes a bad deal that's going to keep the American people less safe in the long run. All right. So let me give you three reasons why the president refuses to condemn the idea of putting boots on ground in the country of Iran. It's called strategic ambiguity. I'm going to talk about my escalation methods in the media without ruling them out.

Why would you do that? Well, let's go through them. Number one, it's psychological warfare. Number two, it's negotiation leverage. And number three, it's a deterrence. The bottom line is, if you look at the history of the president going all the way back to his negotiations regarding North Korea, he would always make statements that on the surface seem to be an act of escalation, but they never actually happen.

and you'd think by now the media would be hip to this, but apparently not. Let's go to Caroline Levitt because she was asked the same question. Take a listen. Yeah, and the president had an interesting exchange on Air Force One over the weekend. Carolyn, I want to get your take about this idea of troops on the ground. Mothers out there are worried that we're going to have a draft, that they're going to see their sons get in and daughters get involved in this. What do you want to say about the president's plans for troops on the ground?

As we know, it's been largely an air campaign up until now. It has been and it will continue to be. And President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly. But the president as commander-in-chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation. It's not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on the table. But as commander-in-chief, there's no greater process. priority or responsibility to this president, then of course protecting the American people and

protecting our troops and our bases in the Middle East, which Iran has been threatening for 47 years. They have killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers. And President Trump was not going to allow Iran to attack our bases and our troops and our men and women in the Middle East first. And that's why he took this historic action by launching Operation Epic Fury. Now, there's no doubt that some people don't like the action. idea of what you're hearing. Again, the president is not committed to that yet. He's left it on the table and I've already explained to you why that is. Secondly, for the people who really disagree with

all of this, if you disagree with this so much, would you entertain the idea of closing all military bases in a lot of the countries around the world, whether that is Japan, South Korea, Germany, Europe, Saudi Arabia, you know, I mean, should we just close them all? I mean, how far do you want to take this idea that we should not be involved whatsoever? whatever, even though the Iranian regime is on record. It's an objective fact of killing American soldiers throughout history, even when there wasn't an actual campaign against them. I mean, how far do we really want to take this?

And that's my main pushback to people who essentially disagree with what the president's doing here. So speaking of disagreement, let's go to Hakeem Jeffries because this is what he had to say about the idea. Take a look. Is there any scenario where you would support sending U.S. forces to be on the ground in Iran? leader Jeffreys? No, and in fact, candidate Trump suggested that under no circumstances, should American servicemen and women be put into harm's way in this particular type of situation, particularly as it relates to another endless war in the Middle East. And we are deeply saddened right now

by the loss of six brave and heroic servicemen and women who have already lost their lives and will continue to pray for their families and their loved ones. But the American people deserve answers from the administration as to how we're going to actually move forward in a way that makes America safer, not more vulnerable. Well, that's your question. Do you like this flannel that I have on here? Because I've been wearing this for quite some time now, because I'm a believer in what you wear says a lot about you.

Nine line apparel is the company out of Savannah, Georgia, owned and operated by military personnel, dedicating what they do here to our men and women. So if you are looking for a brand that you can not only trust, but be proud to wear because you support our men and women in armed services, all you have to do is shop nine line of pair or use my promo code, DeVorey. Everything is in the link in the description below.

Okay, so just so we're clear, number one, I don't look at Democrats as far as a shiny example of their love and support for the military. I would never look towards them if that makes sense. Number two, there's no question. the president owes the American people, the continuous answers or clarity on why we're doing this and where this is going ultimately. Because if this continues to drag on, that will become a problem ultimately, which brings me to point number three. The only way this is truly going to be a success is that whoever the new regime will be, they will not repeat the same mistakes against

their own people and against the United States of America. If the president can achieve that, then in my opinion, this has been a major success. And it should not require boots on the ground for the record. But when you get a statement like this from Lindsey Graham, it definitely makes you pause. Take a listen. And we're going to win. Israel in the United States, you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks. The next two weeks, meaning what? We're going to blow the hell out of these people. This regime is in a death row now. It is going to be on its knees. It's going to fall. And when it falls, we're going to have peace

like no other time we're going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine. Peace brings prosperity. You can't do it by talking. The Democrats criticize this operation. They didn't do a damn thing. These many women in the military should make us all proud. Rip oil. Number two, are you telling us you want the United Arab Emirates and the Saudis to lash out and strike Iran right now? I want them to get in the fight. We sell them weapons. Iran is striking. their country. They have good capability about the straight of hormones. What if the regime fell, then you never had anybody in Iran in the future that wants to close the straight. What if you

had Iran with people who don't want to build a nuclear weapon to kill us all? What if you had Iran in the future that doesn't support Hezbollah Hamas and the hoodies? That's where we're headed. Donald J. Trump is going to bring this terrorist regime down. We're going to have partners in Iran and we're going to open up a gateway to peace. Lindsey Graham's voice that he truly loves this. He wants this. He wants war. There's no question about that. And although there's plenty of criticism to go around about the history of our foreign policy, again, I would defer to the president currently right now because he's not an audiologue. I don't think he's doing this because he's obsessed with war and he's a war hawk. You know, I think he's doing this

because he's done the calculations. He's got the intelligence. He's got the briefings. I think they've looked at the data here. And again, if the Iranian regime, did not want to play ball whatsoever, we're not willing to exercise what we would call diplomacy in the Western civilization the way we do things, then what options were truly left here? Now, some people who definitely disagree with this on a left claim, well, Iran doesn't pose a threat to the United States of America, even though on the record, as far as the objective truth is concerned, they've killed thousands of American citizens over decades. But they don't ever want to acknowledge that because it doesn't work to their narrative if that

makes sense. So, one, I don't support boots on ground. Two, I support strategic strikes. And three, this better get over with as quickly as possible, right? Let's go to Representative Corey Mills out of Florida. I think he had the same thing to say. Take a listen. You've taken out the military. We've taken out the Navy. We've taken out the Air Force here. But you still have the boots on the ground, these Iranians that have the IRGC that have the assault rifles. And they're the ones that controlling the people. Will we need the boots on the ground to go in and disrupt that? Well, I don't support boots on the ground, so let me just make that very clear. That's something that we would need to look at under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11, authorities, declarations of war.

What we're in right now is strategic military objectives hitting the industry, but also going after their mobile launch sites, as well as their drone manufacturing. I mean, the Shaheed 136, which is their kind of one-way drone or unmanned aerial system, is what actually was responsible with things like hitting the radar towers in Bahrain, hitting the actual soldiers in Kuwait and other areas, but also the hotels in Dubai. So it's really about eliminating those capabilities and capacities. And as you pointed out earlier, the U.S. or the Iranian Navy has been completely eliminated. The hierarchy see is being denigrated.

And I think that they'll be soon ready for a national transitional government where the people of Iran, not the U.S., not Israel, not others, can take their own fate into their own hands. Now, the interesting part about this whole debate is on one hand, you had a group of people accusing Israel of a genocide. But on the other hand, these are the same people who are silent about the genocide that occurred in the country of Iran by that regime, right? That's number one. Number two, you also have these people who passed out over USAID being cut. But again, they have nothing to say about the genocide that occurred in Iran. So why am I bringing these points up?

It's because we pick and choose what's politically convenient for us. Iran right now is not a political convenience for a lot of people, especially people, which are you. Trump derangement syndrome or Israel derangement syndrome, okay? It just isn't. So they got to be against it. And the interesting part about it, if you guys need an example of that, all you have to do is go back and read all of the statements from Democrats throughout the years who all threatened to do the exact same thing the president is doing today, but now all of a sudden

they say what he's doing is illegal. Listen to this. In 2020, you wrote about Iran after you met with the foreign minister, quote, I have no delusions about Iran. There are adversary responsible for the killing of thousands of Americans. unacceptable levels of support for terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East. So you're taking issue with the way this war is being conducted. You take issue with the fact that they are, that they killed the Ayatollah, and they're taking out the missile facilities and taking

out the nuclear enrichment facilities? So there are all sorts of regimes that I oppose around the world, but that doesn't mean that I advocate for the United States military to go in with aerial campaigns and ground campaigns to eliminate that leadership, because what we have vast experience with, especially in the Middle East, as that leads to more destabilization, more problems, more threats against the United States. And again, let's be clear, even though Donald Trump says that his goal is regime change,

it doesn't look as if we're going to do anything except substitute one hard line leader with another hard line leader. And that, in the end, is going to make Iran a place that continues to engage in provocations throughout the region and against the United States after our military campaign is done. the end just doesn't seem to achieve anything other than waste a billion dollars a day and drive up prices for

Americans here at home. Well, regarding the oil prices, which we'll talk about here shortly, because the White House has responded to that already. I don't really think that is a long-term issue. It is a short-term one. Secondly, Iraq is a much better country today than it was 20-25 years ago. It's not even the same country anymore. They actually hold elections for the record. And again, number three, we're using air and naval assets to execute these campaigns. CIA is now arming these local groups who have been a part of the uprising. So I think it's only a matter of time to give the people of Iran the opportunity to choose their destiny, sort of speak. And I think that is a noble goal.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that as of yet. But the oil prices is becoming a new issue for the White House, as you guys are aware. And so here's what Caroline Levitt had to say about that this morning. Take a listen. Now, with respect to what's happening with gas prices, right now. This is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain of taking out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime and finally ending their restriction of the free flow of energy in the Middle East and in the strait of Hermuz. And even with this short-term period throughout Operation Epic Fury,

the president and his energy team are on the ball. They've announced political risk insurance for cargo vessels and oil ships that are going to be moving through the strait. They've announced that the U.S. Navy, if and when necessary, will escort those tanks. to ensure that oil can move. The president is also tapping into our newfound market in Venezuela, where, again, there were a lot of panikins about that military operation, and look at the success. We are working in a cooperative manner with the interim authorities

to bring that oil into the market as expeditiously as possible. And so again, this is a short-term disruption. We're seeing a slight increase in oil and gas prices, but ultimately, taking out the rogue Iranian regime is going to be a good thing for the oil industry, industry and those prices are going to come back down just like they have over the course of the past year because of President Trump's American energy dominance agenda. Now, to be fair here, the only thing that's going to make anybody feel good about all of this is

the results. So if they're able to find success in their new strategies as a response to what's taken place over in Iran, then it's all good. I mean, listen, anytime there's a conflict, this is the interesting part about it. This is nothing new. This happens every single time. time, it's a temporary spike, and then it comes down. We're not talking about actual inflation here, folks, okay? So I think people should wait it out and see where we're at a month from now. I think that is an appropriate way to handle this. Now, let's go to the Secretary of Energy because he's the guy in charge. Here's what he had to say. The Trump administration has been all in on lowering energy prices. And I would say quite successfully, we've seen a dramatic decline in gasoline prices and

diesel prices. As soon you will see it in electricity prices as well. So Trump administration, in stark contrast to the Biden administration, his goal has been to lower energy prices. The Biden administration quite successful in raising energy prices. Gasoline today is still $1.50 a gallon cheaper than it was in the middle of Biden administration. But you're right, we want it back below $3 a gallon, and it will be again before too long. Well, what do you mean by too long? How much longer. Look, you never know exactly the time frame of this, but in the worst case, this is a week's. This is not a month's thing. So that's what the Secretary of Energy had to say. And so it really comes down to whether or not you believe who's telling the truth. And I think it's all based

on your essential perspective about this entire situation. You either support what's happening or you don't. Right. And if you don't, you'll find every reason why this is all law. and if you do, you'll probably be able to reason with what the administration's been saying up to this point. But I don't think it really matters what side you're on. I think what matters is what does the results show. And we're about to find that out over the next month. So give me your thoughts in the comments section below to these updates today. What do you make of the president's strategy regarding boots on ground? He's refusing to rule it out. Do you agree with me? It's just more of a negotiation tactic than anything else. and then obviously the rising oil prices

and what the administration plans to do about that. Give me your thoughts and everything you got in the comment section below. Now let's go to our next video, which is a really stunning one. So the president on Air Force One after the service honoring the six service members who lost their lives in Kuwait.

The Iranian oil refineries went up in flames. I mean, this almost looked like it was the apocalypse all over again. If you guys miss out on that update more, click on that video because it's coming up right now.
