I don't think. Maybe I do. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.319 Maybe I do. That's a little joke for you guys 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:07.640 in the booth. But we actually have a fresh show 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.600 that I'm piecing together with some spectacular interviews. Tell me 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.520 if this sounds good to you. Laura Trump, Marty McCarey, 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.280 the FDA commissioner, we talk a little maha and if 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.440 I can work it into the puzzle piece, Joe Gruder's 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.200 R and C chair, So all of whom are on 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.640 my podcast feed coming up this weekend as well. So 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.440 those of you don't subscribe to my podcast, you're missing 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.720 tons of content. And maybe if it's not for you, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.600 maybe if you've got children or someone who might prefer 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.600 that medium. Alex Marlow Show. Wherever you ut your podcast, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.119 you get additional content. All of these shows appear there 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.119 with fewer commercial interruptions, and then you get three new 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.959 additional shows or at least two new additional shows every 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.040 single week. And usually those are really interesting interviews, things 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.639 that I don't want to trap into the terrestrial radio 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.240 time clock. All right, so we'll talk about the moon 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.520 today a little bit, but we'll start with something that 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.680 I love to do, and in the spirit of this 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.880 time slot, where which was of course held by my 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.400 dear friend Dennis Prager for so long and one of 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.280 my mentors. He always made a point to break down 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.240 all major presidential speeches. When I got on the radio 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.239 initially probably about ten years ago is when I started 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.040 on radio on serious exam, I would make a point 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.360 try to break down all major presidential speeches. That's a 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:16.800 commitment that I want to have to all of you. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.000 And President Trump gave one yesterday about the Iran War 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.240 where he gave us some updates and I'll tell you 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.440 the peace was And I hate to say this because 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.400 you guys know I'm rooting for President Trump. I think 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.400 it takes a lot of crap from a lot of 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.160 people in the media, but it felt kind of pointless. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.760 It felt like a little bit of a pointless speech, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.040 I must admit. I think the name of the game 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.680 was to reassure Americans, reassure markets, reassure the world that 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.320 our cause was righteous and that it will end soon. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.600 I think what he achieved was that he did make 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.880 good points about our cause being righteous. He did give 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.840 what I believe a very reasonable timeline. We're talking two 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.800 to three weeks, the exact number I quoted on the 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.760 show earlier in the week. That's what he suggested. He 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.720 did make the media look pretty silly. There's all sorts 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.000 of different reports and prognosticifications about what would actually be 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.840 in the speech. Almost none of the stuff the media 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.120 told us would be in the speech was actually ended 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.600 up in the speech, which I found amusing, but overall 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.040 it did not have the effect of calming markets and 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.600 calming people. So when I woke up this morning and 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.240 I look at my dashboards, what's trending online, what's hot 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.200 in social media, it was almost all stuff that benefited 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.119 the left, making fun of Trump, making fun of the war. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.840 And it's certainly nothing that was going to reassure anyone 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.480 that has broken from Trump in this regard. And that's 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.000 kind of a shame, because I think he did make 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.400 some good points, and I'm going to highlight those points 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.800 throughout the course of the show today. But I will 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.800 say the tail of the tape is oil prices are 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.240 up eleven percent today, So that's it. And so long 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.160 as oil prices are climbing up at that level, that 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.440 shows that it was not mission accomplished on the speech front, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.120 and is imperative that we wrap this thing up. We 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.000 wrap up this war as soon as possible because there's 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.280 just so many downstream effects. Dow Jones industrial leverage down 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.560 a couple hundred points as we start the SHO show today, 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.480 So which is it's a half a percent. I mean, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:08.200 that's nothing but overall not reassuring. So that said, that's 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.560 the optics. Optics. Can't give it an a on that one. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.200 I don't even know if I can give it a pass, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.880 to be honest with you on the optics. But can 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.880 I give it a any brownie points which are not 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.760 as important for making good points? I can there are 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.560 some quite some good points that Trump raised in the speech. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.240 So I've compiled with our crack team, who is upperly 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.520 working hard on this stuff. I've highlighted some of what 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.160 I think is the most meaningful moments. I'll play a 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.039 bunch of those and let us start team. Do I 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.640 have everything? I don't want to call forself? I don't have. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.320 But do we have cut fourteen? Can we do fourteen? 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:51.719 The United States military began Operation Epic Fury, targeting the 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.920 world's number one state sponsor of terra Iran. In these 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.040 past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered lift, decisive, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.919 overwhelming victories on the battlefield, victories like few people have 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.680 ever seen before. Tonight, Iren's Navy is gone, their air 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:19.920 forces in ruins, their leaders, most of them terrorists, regime 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.000 they led are now dead, their command and control of 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:30.840 the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps being decimated as we speak. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:36.120 Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.440 and their weapons factories and rocket launchers are being blown 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:41.080 to pieces. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.000 I mean, that's great. It's a great rundown. It's hard 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.440 to say we're losing the war. I saw a article 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.839 in The Economists, which is the arch globalist magazine that 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.599 I used to subscribe to. Maybe that was part of 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.440 what turned me off by the establishment media that my 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.359 father Robert suggested I get that, so I would have 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.040 read the cover many years, the cover to cover Economist. Guy. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.039 They've got a cover story this week. Never interrupt your 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.160 enemy when he's making a mistake. And it's all about 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.479 how China loves this Iran war, even though I don't 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.560 see any clear benefit for China in it thus far. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.479 But they have all these Chinese officials anonymously quoted saying 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.920 how bad the war is for Trump. And that's it. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.200 That's the lead story in a major magazine for people. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.320 So given that what Trump just laid out, one of 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.920 those evil regimes on the planet suffering to that level 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.120 may be completely destroyed over ten thousand targets. As I 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.040 noted earlier in the week, hit, they can of their 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.880 supreme leader, can't go out in public. It's just it 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.000 just doesn't look great, doesn't It doesn't look great for them. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.200 Now is it a win for us yet? We'll see, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.440 but it certainly doesn't look great for them. Here is 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.640 a probably the most important part, which no one will 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.600 identify this as the most important part, but it probably is. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:50.279 Play cut fifteen. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.240 Please, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.880 to have a nuclear weapon. This fanaticular regime has been 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:05.159 chanting death to America, death to Israel for forty seven years. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.560 Their proxies were behind the murder of two hundred and 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.920 forty one Americans and the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.520 the slaughter of hundreds of our service members with roadside bombs. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.640 They were involved in the attack on the USS call, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.400 and they carried out the countless other heinous acts, including 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:33.560 the blood just horrible, bloody atrocities of October seventh in Israel. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.400 This is right, and just pointing out that Iran was 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.760 pursuing long range missiles, Trump indicated heat information that they 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.640 were actually further along that we previously thought that this 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:50.360 was the regime that put Solamani in charge of the IRGC, 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.600 who was the godfather of the roadside bomb, A evil genius, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.040 as Trump described him later in the speech, these are 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.040 not good guys, and they're going to pursue weapons that 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.640 could destroy America the world. In retrospect, it would have 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.080 been nice to get this clarity from Trump ahead of 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.520 the war. And I don't necessarily love the idea of 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.760 making these statements ahead of time, because you can't tip 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.160 your hand, and the pr game at home, in a 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.920 high stakes game like this is secondary to try and 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.200 to vanquish the bad guys. But I do think that 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.120 this would have been good to hear from people that 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.560 he really was saying that they were on the precipice 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.800 of getting a nuclear war or a nuclear weapon that 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.760 they had were moments away at the doorstep was the 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.920 word he used, and had missiles that could potentially reach 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.080 our homeland, which is not that hard to do. When 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.280 you understand how a nuclear weapon is fired and how 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.719 it's deployed, it is not that hard for it to 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.160 get to our homeland, and to get to our homeland 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:51.280 very quickly. With some pretty reasonable technology, And it would 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.839 have been nice to get this ahead of time, because 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.720 I think that this is essential to people getting on 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.640 war with Trump and giving him the benefit of doubt 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.200 in this war is the fact that nuclear ron is unacceptable. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.440 That's what this is all about, and Trump is making 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.160 it so that we're a long way away from that. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.560 So that is the main point that he had to 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.320 get a cross. I think he got it across, but 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.760 it probably would have been better to put more of 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.440 a fine point on the way I'm doing it here, 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.880 and it probably would have been better for this to 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.000 get into people's bloodstreams earlier on. But that's why we're 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.200 in such a chaotic environment. That's why you're seeing the 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.280 markets go up and down. Sock features were down huge, 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.520 they're up big now, or they're they're up a little bit, 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.079 or they're down a lot. Oil's up big, and all 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.360 of this is just so it's troubling for people, and 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.040 that's why you've got to hedge, and I think you 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.280 got a hedge with Press Precious Metals. This is not 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.880 a joke. This is for you, This is for your children, 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.079 this for your grandchildren. It's important that you are balancing 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.400 out your portfolios right now. Gold and silver stocks are 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.360 the way to go from my vantage point. A lot 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.280 of Wall Street experts are now saying you should by 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.040 up to twenty percent of your precious metals out of 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.240 your portfolio should be in gold at this point, and 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.559 that's why I've got a partner in the space capital. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.319 These are people who've been in the game for over 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.640 thirty years. They have a educational materials that have taught me, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.160 a lot gold investment kits that you can get, and 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.160 there I have a huge offer from my audience.

They've got over three billion in transactions, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.760 lots of five star reviews, and these are the guys 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.240 you should go with when you're buying gold, and you 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.839 should absolutely by be buying gold at this point.

Get some information for them, and when you 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.640 get that information, you're going to learn a lot about 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.959 the space. You're going to learn about how our dollar 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.680 has been compromised by too much debt, too much deficit spending. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.760 Inflation is still here with us and we can't kick it. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.640 And this is the move that might be best for 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.640 you and for your loved ones. So I say that 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.199 eight nine to nine to two two two five five 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:14.520 for Lear Capital. That's Lear alex dot com. Nutrition has 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.880 become pretty overwhelming lately, but it's only as complicated as 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.199 we make it. When you read labels at the store. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.560 There's no doubt that we humans have over complicated what 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.840 we're supposed to eat. Here's something that actually simplified things 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.040 for me. Plants have their own nutrition. When you eat 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.040 whole foods, you're getting their phytonutrients, natural compounds your body 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.280 uses to adjust, repair and respond every single day.

Join hundreds 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.120 of thousands of customers in one simple routine that's changing 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:26.000 the world. So it was not in April Fools. Yesterday, 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.560 Sean and I did go to the Bizarre Nipple Placement show. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.120 That was a great band and just the stage craft. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.040 These guys know how to put on a show. Okay, 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.360 it was. It was. It was a bit of a joke. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.520 It was a bit of a joke. But you know, 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.040 if we were there, you know, we would we would 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.280 have had for a beverage because it was a school night, 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.439 it was a school night. We would have had probably 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.120 some sodas. I would add a diet coke, maybe a 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.920 diet Doctor pepper if they had it on tap. I 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.160 don't know what Sean would have had. I don't know 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.319 who his soda preferences. But these American beverages, these are 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.320 the drinks that I grew up with still crunch my 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.719 thirst on a daily basis. The ones you gotta have 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.040 from Coke, Doctor Pepper, PEPSI For me, I get the 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.080 diet versions. These are iconic brands to tell the American story. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.199 They have done so for over one hundred years. And 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.439 they provide a lot of American jobs two hundred and 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.719 seventy five thousand jobs in total in American products from 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.800 American workers shipping around to America's hometowns, and that's all 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.240 fifty states. So these are people show up, do the 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.719 work every day and giving that crispy die coke that 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.720 I crave when I'm going to see my eighties cover bands. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.720 They deliver for our economy in our communities. See for 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.160 yourself what they're doing. And we deliver for America dot Com. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.479 We deliver for America dot Com, for the American Beverage Association, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.640 my friends over there. That was a reference to Christy 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.520 Nomes husband's bizarre fetish where he puts on giant fake breasts, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.960 and it was all in yesterday's show. I cannot spend 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.200 more time on today's show. I just don't have enough 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.679 time on the air. But all of that did inspire 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.120 me and Sean to go to a very cool concert 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.640 last night, which was fun. Okay, all right, I'm going 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:59.520 through Trump's speech and it was not as most productive, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.800 but they were certainly some moments in it that are 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.600 worth highlighting. Let's play cut seventeen now, please, guys. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.720 They were also rapidly building a vast stockpile of conventional 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.160 ballistic missiles and would soon have had missiles that could 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.839 reach the American homeland, Europe, and virtually any other place 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.320 on Earth. We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.160 threaten America or project power outside of their borders. That 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:35.120 means eliminating Iran's navy, which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.480 their air force and their missile program at levels never 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:43.080 seen before, and annihilating their defense industrial base. We've done 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.520 all of it. Their navy is gone, their air force 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:46.200 is gone. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.360 It's big stuff. And I think that's really important to 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.200 note that that that was an imminent threat from his 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.880 vantage point. And if you either believe them or you don't, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.600 and if you do, then you have to, I think 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.080 give them a little more time to wrap this thing 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.800 up before you get too wound up about everything all right, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.080 gas prices still is the main thing. I think one 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.080 of the goals of the speech was to reassure people 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.400 on that front. I don't think this was a success, 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.040 but let's hear what he had to say. Cut eighteen. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:15.200 Please, many Americans have been concerned to see the recent 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.560 rise in gasoline prices here at home. This short term 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.160 increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.400 launching de ranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.880 neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.000 This is yet more proof that Iran can never be 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.520 trusted with nuclear weapons. They will use them, and they 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.920 will use them quickly. It would lead to decades of extortion, 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:47.160 economic pain, and instability worse than we can ever imagine. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.240 The United States has never been better prepared economically to 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.400 confront this threat. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:57.280 You all know that, Okay, It's a very important to 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.200 note that he's saying that we need to have some 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.440 short term here to deal with the potentially existential threat 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.920 of a nuclear Iran. If you accept this premise, I 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.280 can accept it for a little while. I'm also accustomed 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.200 to super high gas prices, and I try to plan accordingly, 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.040 as I live in the state of California, where we 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.200 always have inflated gas prices due to gas price taxes 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.760 and due to a massive regulations, so I've become accustomed 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.440 to it. A lot of families have not, though, and 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.160 that's very noteworthy that this is tracking in the polls. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.560 People are disappointed on this front, but the present is 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.720 aware of it. I got another one on the oil 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.720 issues play cut nineteen place. 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.920 Under my leadership, we are number one producer of oil 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.960 and gas on the planet, without even discussing the millions 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.480 of barrels that we're getting from Venezuela. Because of the 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.480 Trump administration's policies. We produce more oil and gas than 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.640 Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. Think of that, Saudi Arabia 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.000 and Russia combined, and that number will soon be substantially 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.320 higher than that. There's no country like us anywhere in 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.360 the world, and we're in great shape for the future. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:10.080 The United States imports almost no oil through the Hormos 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.399 straight and won't be taking any in the future. We 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.800 don't need it, we haven't needed it, and we don't 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:16.280 need it. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.080 We can back our break down the entirety of this clip. 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:22.960 But this is the type of stuff that made me 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.160 feel like the speech was a bit off because he 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.280 calls out Venezuela. He also mentioned the successful Maduro raid, 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.399 which seemed like a non sequitur here. And it's fantastic 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.399 that we're producing more oil than Saudi Arabia and Rush combined. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.159 I love that fact, but then why is it so 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.280 expensive right now? That doesn't reassure people. In fact, that 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.240 might actually add to the confusion. And that's why I 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.040 did not feel like this was an A plus speech 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.240 from the President is because you hear a clip like that, 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.000 and there's all these sort of bragging metrics, but not 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.600 necessarily anything that's going to make any Americans feel better. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.000 And that is a problem. And I'm gonna explain why 0:17:55.119 --> 0:18:13.439 when we come back on The Marlow Show. All Right, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.639 you guys know what I think of the American Beverage Association, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.080 because you know how much I love those drinks that 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.960 I grew up with and still love today. I'm talking 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:26.200 about Coke, my case Die, Coke, Diet Doctor Pepper, Doctor Pepper, 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.880 all these stuff. It's terrific drinks. These are iconic American 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.280 brands and they're part of the American story, and they 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.280 have been for over one hundred years. With everyone talking 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.840 about American jobs, these companies have been walking the walk 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.800 for workers, for American hometowns. They've been creating those jobs, 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.960 they've been creating those opportunities. They employ over two hundred 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.760 and seventy five thousand men and women in all fifty states. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.760 There are all people who show up every day, do 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.199 the work and deliver for our economy and our communities. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.240 And they give you that Crispy die coke that I 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.280 look forward to a couple of times a day. See 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.800 for yourself everything they're doing, and we deliver for America 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.080 dot org that we deliver for America dot org. Portions 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.720 of the Alice Morloch Show are sponsored by the American 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:24.200 Beverage Association. All Right, John plays some clips to the 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.800 President of the United States. He gave a speech last 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.080 night which I make a point to break these things 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.360 down whenever possible, And one of the issues that's come 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.720 up is that he is reassuring Americans that we're producing 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.080 massive amounts of oil record levels and we don't actually 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.880 rely on oil that comes to the Strait of removes, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.640 but to me, that could actually confuse people because people 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.080 are saying, well, why are gas price is so expensive? 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.000 Why are things getting so expensive here? And so here's 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.320 the breakdown. So straight of ourmoves, twenty million barrels per 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.320 per day of crude oil petroleum products get shipped through 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.520 the Straits. That's twenty to twenty five percent of what 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.000 goes on. That's a fifth to a quarter the whole 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.239 world's total oil consumption is coming through the Strait. So 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.160 when that supply is depressed, even if it's not what 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.160 we're getting specifically, it does raise the rates. It has 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.040 a huge, massive market reaction that trickles down to there. 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.160 And there's all these secondary effects where as well, where 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.720 shipping costs will go up, insurance costs will go up 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.080 because war risks for these ships that are going through. 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.639 These ships are not prepared to get bombed, they're not 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:35.920 prepared for these mines, these seafaring mines that we discussed 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.720 earlier a couple of weeks ago on the show Tanker 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.879 Trafficslow stuff down, creates confusion, cost money. All this stuff 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.920 costs money. So even though the United States is not 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.399 getting this oil specifically, it does drive up prices all 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.639 around the world. That also makes people very grumpy around 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.439 the world as well, so, which is why one of 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.960 the many reasons it's so hard to get allies on board. 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.600 So Trump coming out and saying stuff like we took 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.600 out Maduro and we're getting stuff from Venezuela and we're 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.240 producing a lot of oil, I think actually hurts the 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.720 cause it's not only not is it not a neutral. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.639 I think this is a negative when you bring this 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.480 stuff up. And I kind of wish he would have 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.879 not brought it up because it does not make America. 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:16.240
