| 0:00.0 | The truth about the Iran war has been covered up. It is far worse for the US than we've been told. |
| 0:06.9 | And the latest revelations show that Iran can withstand pressure far longer than we've been told. |
| 0:13.3 | We're talking a long time. And US allies have behind the scenes turned on Washington. |
| 0:23.4 | Meanwhile, some people are making vast profits from insider trading in this war. That's what the latest revelations tell us. Let's just start with |

| 1:27.0 | of war. |
| 1:27.9 | I mean, George Orwell would obviously have a field day with Peter Heggseth. |
| 1:32.0 | I don't think he'd enjoy it. |
| 1:33.6 | None of us have. |
| 1:35.3 | I mean, he claimed that they'd wiped out very quickly the missile launches, the missile |
| 1:40.7 | stockpals being able to be used by Iran. |
