Six Missiles at Jordan and Washington Debates Feelings

If you still think this is “just another Middle East flare‑up,” you’re missing the fact that the entire geopolitical chessboard is flipping over in real time. Iran is firing missiles into Jordan, choking the Strait of Hormuz, and launching drones across borders while U.S. political leaders argue about committee theatrics instead of funding the troops actually in combat. This episode of The Rant Network lays out a brutal pattern: diplomacy that never existed, terror proxies embedded across the region, Democrats weaponizing budgets while accusing others of lacking strategy, and a global lineup of nations cozying up to Tehran as the IRGC spreads influence far beyond the battlefield. “Iran launched not one, not two, not five, but six missiles towards Jordan.” “The IRGC is everywhere… funding all kinds of activities.” This isn’t one crisis — it’s a multi‑front confrontation the world keeps pretending isn’t happening.

We’re Back And Watching Patterns

SPEAKER_00 0:06

Welcome back to we're back. We're back, we're back, we're back, we're back. And you know, Stuart, I gotta tell you, I've read a lot of the comments of the people who write, and it's fascinating how some people like to revise history and bring up stuff, and but what they don't recognize are patterns. And it's patterns. Yeah, you can you can throw at me dates and you can throw at me things and say Israel's accused of this and US is accused of that, blah blah blah, but you're not looking at the pattern. And the pattern here is why does Trump sound like he flip-flops? One day it's the greatest peace deal ever, and one day it's we're gonna flatten the crap out of out of Iran. One day it's no, we're not gonna attack the nuclear sites, and the other day it is. What they're missing, Stuart, again and again. People just don't pay attention to the way Trump is trying to force Iran into his deal, his working, not the other way around. But, you know, the liberal media, they know better. They're smarter than everybody in the world, of course. They went to journalism school. They must be the smartest people on earth because they know all about geopolitics, they know how Iran works, and they're smarter than the average bear steward.

Okay, let's let's

Rubio Draws A Hard Line

SPEAKER_01 1:26

get to it. I'm chasing three stories, David. One picture. While refusing to fund the troops doing the fighting, the mullahs are at war with the civilized world. America, Israel are finally hitting back with real force, and political opposition back home can't get out of its own way long enough to stand behind the men and women they claim to care about. Iran just fired six missiles, and Jordan, a US ally, and American Democrats are spending their morning demanding defense secretary justify. Why is he whining? Let's start here. Rubio publicly declared the United States will continue to strike Iran for as long as Tehran attempts to control the Strait of Hermouth. The choke point. A substantial portion of the world's oil supply, about 20%. Rubio assessed that Iran is not serious about diplomacy, signaling the administration had no intention of blinking. That's the take. This is what American strengths look like after four years of Biden sleeping in the White House. The Secretary of State's going on the record publicly telling the terror regime we are not going to stop. The left spent years telling us Trump couldn't handle foreign policy. Rubio's statement is Reagan doctrine reborn. You want the straight of our move? Come and take it. The not serious about diplomacy line is the most important sentence of international relations this week. Because it means the administration isn't getting played at the negotiating table the way Obama got played with the JCPOA. The mallocracy only understands one language that Americans can speak fluently. And if you need proof that Iran's not being serious about diplomacy, it isn't diplomatic spin. It's a statement of military fact. Look what happened at the Jordanian border. The missiles launched by Iran on its neighbor over Aqaba. Iran launched not one, not two, not five, but six missiles towards Jordan. All six were intercepted by Jordanian Air Defense. Iran also fired four drones into Jordanian airspace. Smoke was visible rising in Aqaba area. No injuries were reported. The IDF confirmed no iron dome interceptors were needed as no debris crossed into Israeli territory. The Israeli commercial flight, Ben Gurin Airport, was forced to circle for a short period of time until the runway at Ramanan Airport was cleared of potential debris. Six missiles, four drones aimed at Jordan. A Sunni Arab-aligned monarchy that shares a border with Israel that isn't defending itself. This Islamic Republic of Iran's firing weapons at a country that has done nothing to provoke them. Because the mullahs are lashing out in every direction as American Israel pressure closes. Every Iranian deal apologist, every Obama-era diplomat who said engagement was the answer. Every European foreign minister who said dialogue should be forced to watch smoke rising over Aqaba today explains their position. The fact is Israel's civilians in commercial flights had to circle in the sky waiting for depre. Tells you everything about the regional threat that Iran poses. Jordan stopped these. Peters accused

Missiles At Jordan And Regional Risk

SPEAKER_01 6:45

Heg said of having no plan to end this conflict. Heggs has fired back, pointing out that Democrats have blocked military funding over partisan objections to the administration's domestic policies. The hearings come as the DoD has requested a record $1.5 trillion budget in 27. That's 900 billion more in 26. It's just 60 days of congressional deadlines for authorization looms. Hexess walked into a hearing room, did something rare. He told the truth aloud. You won't show political church to actually fund the department because you have Trump derangement syndrome. That's not a talking point. That's a ball game. Senator Peters wants to sit there and demand Hex show leadership. The same Democrat who ignored the hypersonics under Biden, Hexess words, who led Austin's sleepwalk through four years of Pentagon while China built a hypersonic missile and Iran ran centrifuges like the kids run circles around the Democrats. The Odyssey is that the breakthrough Hexess lines, I put this on you, Senator, should be the bumper sticker on 2026. The left line, the Iran war has already cost 80 billion. More than double what Congress told with no exit strategy. Hexas can't articulate a path to victory. Those are the Democratic talking points. Why is fall apart? 80 billion is a figure. It's being weaponized by the same party that spent six trillion on COVID stimulus without blinking, with no exit strategy. Attacks proposed alternatives, letting Iran reopen uh centrifuges in the strait, resume terror. Is that somehow cheaper? It isn't. Every dollar not spent now becomes ten dollars at in the next time the Iranian sponsor attacks. Rubio answers it's strategy. Iran stops, Iran quits. That's not vague, that's leverage compared to the JCPOA, where we paid $150 billion in sanction reliefs to temporary pause enrichment. Let's sort of close without Dave, because I'll keep going. Iran fired missiles at Jordan. The straight hermouth is being contested. Servicemen members are in combat. Rubio is standing on the mic telling the world we're not going to stop. That's not a sentence for four years of Biden foreign policy made possible. It's because Donald Trump's administration says it loud. Peak Head says takes fire from senators who won't even fund troops. They're pretending to defend this culture, they're defending the United States. I think not. Here's the bottom line: Iran's missiles were intercepted, luckily. Israel was watching America as it's engaged. The mulas are getting desperate. If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd press the button. It's only a matter of time unless you put this to an end. Heg Seth, I wish you strength. Rubio, I give you praise. Trump, put your hand on the chicken's neck and crush it. As I quote the former State Department head, Hillary

Pentagon Hearings And Funding Fights

SPEAKER_01 10:45

Clinton. David, go run.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

You know, yeah, Stuart, it's it's fascinating. Datax says I need, you know, the war cost 80 billion. And of course, they don't know what they're doing. There's no exit strategy. But let me remind everybody that, you know, how much money do you think the United States has sent to Ukraine? Well, thanks to the Biden administration, that number is at $164 billion. And what is the exit strategy there? None. So, you know, you you talk from both ends of your mouth, Mr. Democrats. Once again, you just continue to show your true colors, is that what you do is always right and what the Republicans do is always wrong. This isn't about working together in a collaborative way. But let's go back to what you just said a little bit ago. What is going on here? You've got yourself a situation where Iran is attacking supposedly American bases in those countries, whether it's Jordan, whether it's Bahrain, Qatar, you name it, you continue to you continue to hear it, Stuart, again and again and again. We're not attacking those countries, we're attacking those bases. That's crap. Because the Iranian attacking system isn't very accurate, as we've come to see, right? When they've shot missiles in the middle all over the Middle East, their targeting isn't exactly perfect. And so it didn't matter that debris would have fallen in civilian areas. It wouldn't have mattered that civilians would have died to Iran people, bodies, humans are nothing. It's just a way to damage the administration. Trump is getting heat, he's getting heat by the Democrats as they approach an election. And Iran knows it. And they're turning it up again and again. And the Straits of Hormuz, which they're trying to control, and they're saying they want fees and whatever, is against international law. But you don't hear you hear those crickets once again from all of those other nations. Everybody rallied around Ukraine when Russia attacked. Because this was one, you know, this was this was wrong, right? Europe rallied, US rallied, Canada rallied, others rallied. Those that didn't were shamed, shamed not only by Ukraine, but by also Joe Biden at the time. But here the United States is trying to do a favor to the entire world. China, Russia, okay, maybe they're not too happy with it. But the rest of the world is sitting there going, we don't want to start dealing like this. We don't want Iran to control. You understand that if UAE sends a tanker out, they're going to pay Iran to cross the Straits of Hormuz? In what way does that make any sense? This isn't a toll bridge that crosses two countries. This is open waterways. This is international waters. And what Iran is doing is putting, they want to put their hands around the chicken necks of every leader around the world to choke them for every penny so that they continue their pursuit of destroying the West. Because if you look around the world, Stuart, it's plain and simple. The IRGC is everywhere. The IRGC is in Canada, it is in the United States, it's all over Europe. They're funding all kinds of activities, and we've seen it since October 7, 2023. And people will say that this is a conspiracy theory, but follow the money and you will see exactly where it goes. And they are not afraid to even admit that that's what they have done. In fact, the IRGC said that they will activate sales globally if the United States doesn't comply. So I'm asking myself, what kind of fucking peace partner is this? If this is what you're trying to do, diplomacy is what Rubio Marco Rubio keeps saying. We should we'll use diplomacy. Yeah, yeah, that's to placate those that don't understand that democracy doesn't work here. Diplomacy is not working here. Conversations don't work here. The only thing that works here is power. And that is the Middle East. This is the gang war that we've been talking about forever. You can't talk. There is no communication until you reach a point of exhaustion. When Anwar Sadat approached Israel in 1977 and said he was ready to talk with Menachem, then Prime Minister Menachem Bagan of a priest treaty, it was once Egypt was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Stuart, their military, could no longer handle it. The economy was in the shits, and the only way out was peace with Israel. Amazing to believe that. And Jordan said the same thing. The only way that they wanted to do it, they were they knew the threat of no peace with Israel would lead to a civil war inside of Jordan. So reality check people is when they get desperate, is when they get to the table. Well, you gotta shake the trees, people, and you also gotta know who your allies are. Because if you think about who went to the Khomeini, you know, funeral a few weeks ago, Stuart, who was there? The leaders from Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Cuba, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, India even showed up. And you're asking yourself, why are they going there? Because those are the people that depend on Iran. Those are the people who've allied with Iran. And while Saudi Arabia and the United States have this weird relationship, Saudi Arabia knows it can it, if it doesn't defend itself properly, it too will have a civil war. Saudi Arabia, these these Emirati area, these countries are really petrified of a Muslim rebellion in their country, just like Iran. Just like you've seen with the Houthis, just like you've seen Hezbollah. Now, I will take, by the way, I take full offense to somebody who says that Hezbollah is a resistance group because Israel invaded Lebanon. No, this is a terrorist group put together by Iran. Get your story straight. Hamas, you will say, is an Israeli, you know, out, you know, is an Israeli invention, and you know, Hamas was funded by Israel, and and and one guy who has a big mouth says, oh, Hamas is an asset and and PLO is a liability. You know, you guys twisting the words, you gotta understand how this area works. Israel's not funny Hamas, Israel's not funny Hezbollah, and the United States isn't either. It's the IRGC. This is the global attack that's going on. You are all expecting traditional war. You attack me, and then I attack you. If that's what you're waiting for, it's

Why Power Beats Talks With Iran

SPEAKER_00 17:30

gonna be too late because that's not how Iran is gonna fight. Iran has been fighting dirty for five decades. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Americans and other people, Westerners, have died at the hands of Iran. And you're sitting here going, We are not at war? There is no strategy here. Again, I go back to my first statement. When you threw 164 billion dollars at Zelensky, what strategy did Zelensky bring to you? Because how many years are we at now at this war, Stewart, that you still haven't come to a conclusion? And you continue, you Democrats continue to insist to fund Zelensky's war, but not America's war. What are you fucked up? Where are your priorities for God's sakes, Mr. Democrats? I know where your priorities are, it's at the ballot box. Because you think that by doing it this way, by fudging reality, you're gonna get elected in 2026 and then in 2028. At this rate, dream on.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Well, David, I know muted. I you know, there's really nothing more to add to this because this is just where the Democrats are. The Socialist Party of United States is basically taking over the DNC. And you know, we talked about this, you know, we've been doing this, David. If you take a moment for six years, it's amazing. And and and how this broadcast has grown in six years. But we were talking about this six years ago, long before October 7th, long before these wars even started. In fact, we predicted the war, literally. You know, yeah, it's I I sit here three times a week with you, and and and I hold my head hoping that I would find some shed of light in the news.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Here's the thing. I'll tell you why you're not gonna find a shine the light. And I'll give him I'll give a shout-out to to Van Jones who put this out on the show. Oh, I saw it. You know, this is a yin and a yang. This is a yin and a yang. And so at this point, people, you're you're seeing the DSA, the Democratic Socialist Alliance, taking over the Democratic Party as a reaction to MAGA. MAGA was a reaction to but what the Democrats did, which was a repo reaction to what the Republicans did, and it goes back and forth. And and it never it didn't start one and then it's just if you go this way, I have to do the polar opposite. So if you assume that the MAGAs are these extremists, then the Democrats have to go in the same direction, which makes zero sense. And the Democrats have are realizing that what are the what does MAGA want? Make America great again. It's about trying to make America great again, versus how do I destroy the foundation of America? And these Democrats have seen the threat of the DSA and are using their talking points. So if you are gonna go to the to to your election and you will say that you want to cut off Israel, you're probably not gonna get the votes that you expect to get. But when you continue to say that the United States shouldn't be at war with Iran, shouldn't get rid of terrorists, shouldn't get rid of the people who are gonna try to control your gas prices, I think that's where Americans are gonna go, not buying it, Stuart. And that's where you know when Pete Hexit comes to the hill and they say you have no strategy, you threw away $164 billion at a Ukraine with what strategy? You threw away billions and billions of dollars that Doge found early in 2025 at all these programs. Where was your strategy? So I love it when the kettle calls the pod

Politics Whiplash And Final Sign-Off

black story.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

Really, let's not use the word black, but I hear crickets, David. You know what that means? That's it, that's all, guys. I'm calling it quits. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, noon Easter. This guy and this guy. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, guys. See you on Friday.
