If the Strait of Hormuz is the nuclear bomb, then Bab el-Mandab could be the hydrogen bomb. If the US keeps escalating against Iran, Yemen has threatened to back Tehran by shutting down the Bab el-Mandab Strait. Millions of barrels of oil pass through it every day, along with container ships carrying everything from consumer goods to pharmaceuticals. Close both chokepoints, and you're looking at a crisis that could devastate the global economy. Tune in to the Sanchez Effect.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker explains that there are two key straits in the discussion: the Strait of Al-Mandab and the Strait of Hormuz. The speaker identifies the Strait of Al-Mandab as the route Dmitry Medvedev, head of Russia’s Security Council, recently called a “hydrogen bomb.” The speaker then says the Strait of Al-Mandab is under threat because Yemen geographically controls the narrow opening that leads from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean.
The speaker states that Yemen is an ally of Iran and is “going at it once again” with Saudi Arabia by threatening Yemen’s airport, seaports, and sea lanes. The speaker argues that this matters because Saudi Arabia gets much of its oil into the world through these routes. They claim the Strait of Al-Mandab may be even more vital than the Strait of Hormuz, and they specify that nine billion barrels of oil flow through the Strait of Al-Mandab every day.
The speaker describes how cargo moves through the route: ships enter or exit through the strait, travel through the Red Sea, and then go through the Suez Canal before reaching the Mediterranean. They add that goods travel through these shipping lanes, affecting not only oil but also broader cargo movement.
Finally, the speaker emphasizes the consequences if both straits—Hormuz and Al-Mandab—are shut down, stating that a fourth of all the world’s oil, all the world’s gas, all the world’s fertilizer, and all the world’s chemicals would not be able to get in or out through those routes.

Speaker 0: There's actually two straits involved here. This that you see right here, this is the Strait of Al-Mandab. It is what the head of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, usually recently called a hydrogen bomb. So if this is a nuclear bomb, they're saying this is the hydrogen bomb. And right now, it is also under threat because Yemen, seen right here, geographically controls that tiny little opening that goes into the Red Sea and goes into the Mediterranean right now. they are threatening again to shut it down. Remember, Yemen is an ally of Iran, right? And Yemen is, as we speak right now, going at it once again with Saudi Arabia by threatening their airport and their seaports and their sea lanes. This is how Saudi Arabia gets much of its oil into the world. Can you imagine? In fact, you know what? The Strait of Mandab, based on what I just talked about, just through Saudi Arabia alone, may be an even more vital source or a vital pathway than the Strait of Hormuz. Nine billion barrels of oil alone flows through here every single day. That's a lot. It's how cargo, not just oil, gets into the Mediterranean. Goods travel through ships right through. They go in through here or out through there. They go through the Red Sea right there. Then they go up, see up there? That's the Suez Canal. And then they go into the Mediterranean. So think, I mean, duh, right? Think about what would happen if both the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Al-Mandab, both this one and this one, are shut down. A fourth of all the world's oil, all the world's gas, all the world's fertilizer, all the world's chemicals would not be able to get in and out of here or in and out of there. RIGHT?

I’ve seen reports of more than 12 million people turning out for Ali Khamenei’s funeral, still ongoing. It’s bigger than Lenin’s, JFK’s, Churchill’s, and Queen Elizabeth’s—undercutting the “Iran is on the brink of regime change” story. Tune in to Sanchez Effect.

More than 12 million people turned out for Ali Khamenei's funeral — one of the largest funeral processions in modern history... and it's still not over. That's more than Lenin's funeral. More than JFK's. More than Churchill's. More than Queen Elizabeth's. More than any British monarch's funeral. So much for the "Iran is on the brink of regime change" narrative.

The speaker says the images show the capital city of Tehran and describe it as one of the largest funerals in history. They claim the number of people attending the event exceeds all of the compared funerals, saying it is “more” than Lennon’s funeral, Winston Churchill’s, JFK’s, FDR’s, and Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and “more than any British monarch who was ever put to rest.” The speaker also states that the Iranian people are showing resolve and unity, describing the funeral crowds as immense and noting that the western media is “admitting it” because the story “can’t be ignored” due to “too many people.” The speaker references a prior claim that Israel’s Netanyahu tried to convince Mr. Trump that the Iranian people were on the brink of overthrowing their government and says that prediction was wrong, pointing to the funeral images and crowd size as evidence.

Michael Maloof says Iran is fighting a war of attrition, not a conventional war — using pressure points like the Strait of Hormuz to raise the cost for Washington and the global economy. Tehran is showing Trump that ignoring the terms of past agreements and constantly rewriting the deal only pushes the crisis deeper. Watch full: https://www.bitchute.com/video/RlWPr9vbjsXZ
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers say Iran is conducting a war of attrition using an asymmetric strategy against the United States. They argue Iran knows it cannot militarily confront the United States directly, so it focuses on holding and “choking” the Strait of Hormuz to harm the world economy. They claim that the longer the United States continues this approach, it affects both the world economy and the U.S. economy, and that Iran is trying to “teach Trump a lesson” about what will happen to him because he is “being so opposite.”
They further state that Trump has not lived up to one of the terms of the 14-point agreement he signed on the MOU, specifically pointing to point one: getting Lebanese and Israel out of Lebanon. In response, one speaker characterizes Trump as “the king of the re-contract,” arguing that after an agreement is signed, it is quickly renegotiated—“a week later”—when one party asks for a new agreement.

Speaker 1: What the Iranians are doing, they know they're conducting a war of attrition. They're fighting an asymmetric type of war against the United States. They know they can't militarily go up against the United States, but they can certainly do other things. That is hold on to the Strait of Hormuz, choke it up so that it hurts the world economy. And that's basically what they're seeing is that the longer the United States plays this game, it's actually affecting not only the world economy, but also the economy of the United States. And that's what I think the Iranians are trying to teach Trump a lesson that this is what's gonna happen to you because you're being so opposite. He has not lived up to one of the terms of the 14 point agreement that he signed on the MOU, the 14 points. He hasn't even adhered to point one. And that is for the Lebanese, for Israel to get out of Lebanon.
Speaker 0: Yeah, he's the king of the re-contract. In other words, you and I have an agreement, and then we sign it. And then a week later, one of us comes back and says, let's do a new agreement. That's what he's doing.

In 1967, Israel attacked the USS Liberty — an intelligence ship — killing 34 US crew members and wounding 171. Israel says it was a mistake. Sgt. Bryce Lockwood, who was on board during the attack, doesn’t believe that. Thomas Massie is demanding an investigation that, according to my guest, should have been conducted 59 years ago.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion goes back to 1967 to explain why the current news topic matters. Speaker 1 references Congressman Massey’s measure and says it should be investigated by Congress, implying it should have been done much earlier. Speaker 0 says that the matter should have been investigated 59 years ago, while noting that Israel claims the incident involved mistaken identity.
Speaker 0 states that Admiral Isaac Kidd’s Board of Inquiry accepted the claim under orders by the JAS administration. Speaker 0 then describes the inquiry’s view that the attack involved violations of international law intended to prevent such a “so-called accident,” including the use of unmarked aircraft and “jamming or distrust frequencies,” which Speaker 0 ties to a historical irony involving Nazi wolf packs machine-gunning life rafts of refugees in World War II.
Speaker 1 challenges the “mistaken identity” explanation by emphasizing the timeline: Speaker 1 says the Israelis “strapped the ship,” bombed it, and “hit 90,” which Speaker 1 equates to about 90 minutes—described as an hour and a half. Speaker 1 argues that 90 minutes does not sound like confusion for “a couple of minutes” leading to a few missiles being fired. Speaker 1 asks whether the vessel was flying the American flag or hiding it.
Speaker 0 responds that the American flag had been shot down in the early air raid. Speaker 0 says Joe Meadors, the signalman, raised the flag again, and that it was shot down a second time, with the flagstaff destroyed. Speaker 0 adds that after that, Meadors retrieved the “holiday flag,” described as the largest flag aboard ship, and ran it up on the port signal arm.

Speaker 1: Let's go back to 1967, just so our audience can understand this, because this is really just at the forefront of news right now. Thanks to Thomas Massey, who is presenting this. Yeah. So, first of all, I imagine you agree with Congressman Massey's measure, correct? This should be investigated by Congress a lot. By all means.
Speaker 0: This should have been done 59 years ago. Israel claims there was a case of mistaken identity.
Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
Speaker 0: Our Admiral Isaac Kidd Board of Inquiry accepted that under orders by the JAS administration, accepted that excuse. Excuse me, every protocol in international law that was designed to prevent such a so-called accident was violated by the Israelis in this attack. They were using unmarked aircraft. violation of international law. Jamming or distrust frequencies, violation of international law. The irony of that one is that came about as a result of Nazi wolf packs machine gunning life rafts of refugees in World War II. The irony.
Speaker 1: So for 90 minutes, the Israelis strapped the ship bombed the ship, hit 90, that's an hour and a half. For those of us who can do the math, it doesn't sound to me like, oops, we accidentally got confused for, you know, a couple of minutes and shot a couple of missiles. No, 90 minutes is a long time. Was your vessel flying the American flag or was it hiding it?
Speaker 0: It was indeed. The flag was shot down in the early air raid. Joe Meadors, who was our signalman, raised that flag back up again. It was shot down a second time. That time the flagstaff was destroyed. He went and got the holiday flag. That's the largest flag you have aboard ship. Ran it up on the port signal arm. I mean, the standard flagstaff was destroyed.

You know, after traveling the world and looking back now at my country, because I'm an American, and there's nothing wrong with the American people, but there's certainly something wrong with the American system. America is a dictatorship. No, we don't have a dictator, not a human being. We have a system which is dictatorial because nothing the hell ever changes. no matter who's in office. And what is that the definition of? A dictatorship. We can't control the policies or the government. That means we are dictated the policies and the government. So it's a dictatorship.

I explain Xi’s warning to Trump about the “Thucydides Trap.” China is negotiating from absolute strength, refusing to bend on tariffs, sanctions, Iran, or Taiwan. Xi says American dominance is ending, and the US can’t risk a direct clash with Beijing over Taiwan.
@RickSanchezTV - Rick Sanchez
Did you hear President Xi warning Trump about falling into the “Thucydides Trap”? Let me explain. China is negotiating from a position of absolute strength— and for once, Trump is facing a rival power that refuses to bend on tariffs, sanctions, Iran, or Taiwan. Xi’s message is clear: the era of uncontested American dominance is ending — and the US cannot afford a direct confrontation with Beijing over Taiwan.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker updates viewers on developments between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and says the talks are “getting very interesting.” The speaker contrasts Trump’s approach toward different countries: they say Trump “bullies” European leaders and that those opponents are “weak,” but that this pattern does not apply with Russia or Iran. The speaker claims that when Trump goes to China, he will not be able to negotiate in the way he usually does, citing the situation involving Iran.
The speaker reports that China is taking a harder stance. China is described as saying that future sanctions will not matter—“we’re not gonna pay attention”—and that China will continue tariffs with the United States, including a 77% tariff on American beef and a 22% tariff on soybeans. The speaker adds that these tariffs have upset American farmers. The speaker says China’s position is that it will consider lowering tariffs if the United States comes to China “and you ask nicely,” and describes this as a reversal.
The speaker then introduces the “Thucydides trap,” attributing it to a Greek warrior turned philosopher and describing it as a theory about US–China relations: when one power grows much larger, it can overtake another, making war between them difficult to avoid. The speaker says Xi raised this concept in his opening remarks, expressing hope the United States and China can “transcend the Thucydides trap” and “forge a new model” for relations, with the idea that both countries being large does not automatically require them to clash.
The speaker highlights Xi’s warning about Taiwan. They say Xi called the “Taiwan question” the most important issue in China–US relations and stated that if it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. The speaker reports that Xi then warned that mishandling it would lead to clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in jeopardy—framing it as a direct warning to Trump that interference over Taiwan could become “really serious.”

Speaker 0: Alright. I wanna bring you up to date on what's going on between the meeting that mister Trump is having with mister Xi, and this thing is getting very interesting, by the way. So, first of all, mister Trump is not the mister Trump that we usually see with, weaker negotiating opponents. How much how can I make that any more simpler? When it comes to Europe, Trump just bullies those guys, and they're all like, okay.
Because they're really weak. So he can do whatever the hell he wants with them, and he bullies them. Not so with Russia. Not so with Iran as I have been reporting all week. And as I told you yesterday that I expected when mister Trump goes to China, he's not gonna be able to be the Trump of old, not because of what's going on right now, because of what's happening in Iran.
And, China is in no position to be giving the game away. As a matter of fact, China China is saying, look. From now on, sanctions, you could sanction whatever the hell you want. We're not gonna pay attention to them. And we're gonna continue our tariffs with you, including the 77% on American beef, 22% on soybeans, which has American farmers actually really pissed off.
So the Chinese are saying, yeah. If you come to us and you ask nicely, we'll consider lowering those tariffs. Oh my god. How the worm has turned. And then, of course, there's the Thucydides.
Thucydides trap. I didn't even know what this was, but you need to know about it because everybody's talking about it, and mister Xi's the one who brought it up. So Thucydides was a Greek warrior turned philosopher who essentially the the the the the theory that is used when describing US China relations or US Sino relations is about this Thucydides trap. And the Thucydides trap is essentially that when one power gets really, really large, it is able to overtake the other power, and then it's difficult to avoid war between those two opposing forces. And that's the fear.
That's why mister Xi has just said in his opening remarks, no less, expressing hope that The US and China will be able to avoid whether the two countries can transcend the Thucydides trap and forge a new model for relations between these two powers. So he said this, referring to the Thucydides trap that, in other words, let's avoid the expectation of war between us simply because we've grown big and you have always been big. Now the two of us are big, that doesn't necessarily mean we have to clash. But then she went even further, and this is where it gets interesting. She it's being called a threat.
You you tell me if you think this is a threat. He said, the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China US relations. Then he says, if it is handled properly, looking at my notes, if it is handled properly, this bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise and here's where he gets for for for Chinese palabra, this is strong. He says the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting this entire relationship in jeopardy.
So he's warning Trump. He's saying, if you fuck with us when it comes to Taiwan, this shit can get really serious. Pardon me for cursing, but, I mean, sometimes it's just the best way of expressing what the man is actually saying. And and that's what he's saying to Trump.
