1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Ago, Trump posted that Iran is doing a very poor 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: job of allowing oil through the Strait, adding quote, that 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: is not the agreement we have. An hour earlier, the 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: President posted, there are reports that Iran is charging fees. 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: They better not be, and if they are, they better 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: stop now, because this is how we do diplomacy. Safe 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: passageway through the Strait was actually a key sticking point 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: of the President's ceasefire with Iran, but straight traffic remains 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: at a near standstill, even though iron still has an 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: upper hand on this crucial shipping route. Trump once again 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: declared victory tonight over Tehran. The contradictions, they just don't 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: stop there. For the first time, we are hearing from 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: US troops. Troops who survived Iran's attack on an American 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: military outpost in Kuwait at the start of the war. 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: Now the March first strikes killed six service members. Soldiers 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: who were injured in the drone attack, spoke to CBS News, 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: contradicting this version of events from Pete Hexa. 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: Every once in a while, you might have one, unfortunately, 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: a squirter that makes its way through, and in that 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 2: particular case, it happened to hit a Tactical Operation Center 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: that was fortified. 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: But these are powerful weapons. 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: One of those injured soldiers said in response, quote painting 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: a picture that one squeaked through. 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: Is a falsehood. 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: I want people to know the unit was unprepared to 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: provide any defense for itself. 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: It was not a fortified position on their side. Anderson, yeah, absolutely. 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 4: I mean you have a lot of experience in this region. 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 4: You have seen that time after two. 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 5: Well, as I said, I think, really, I mean, it 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 5: is their strategy right now and I can't say that 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 5: it's failing. Is to make this so untenable for the 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 5: rest of us that there's pressure on the United States, 35 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 5: which is just stops working. Well, it is their chief 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 5: leverage and ours is an ability to impose punishing strikes 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 5: on Iran. 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 4: President now, he said, quote I spoke with bb and 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: he's going to low key it. I just think we 40 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: have to be sort of a little more low key 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 4: he He himself was less so in a social media 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: post shortly before midnight last night about what would happen. 43 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 4: He says if Iran does not comply with whatever agreement 44 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 4: emerges from the upcoming talks, which get underway on Saturday, again, 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: quoting the President, then the shouldent starts bigger and better 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. In the meantime, 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: he adds, our great military is loading up and resting, 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 4: looking forward actually to its next conquest. The conquest in 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 4: military terms, means taking control of land or people through force. 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: That is what the President of the United States now says, 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 4: our military is looking forward to. 52 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 6: Trump declares premature victory in Iran, It says, the unfortunate 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 6: truth is that mister Trump put himself in his position. 54 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 6: Inconsistent rhetoric on the war. Claims of victory and unleashing 55 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 6: hell to Iran civilization raise global fears and undermines support 56 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 6: at home and abroad. The next test for mister Trump 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 6: will be whether he takes his two weeks cease fire 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 6: deadline seriously so that you can sort of throw into 59 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 6: a ball of coverage that is quite similar to that. 60 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 6: What's your reaction when you see that? 61 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 7: Mark Well, I don't normally waste my time reading editorial 62 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 7: pages because I don't care what about six guys sitting 63 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 7: in a skyscraper have to say about anything. 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is this. 65 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 7: We wouldn't be where we are today, but for the 66 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 7: fact that this president did something no president has done 67 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 7: in half a century. He said, enough is enough. We're 68 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 7: going to take care of this nuclear issue. We're going 69 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 7: to take care of this enrichment issue. They're not going 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 7: to get the blackmail us. They're not going to get 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 7: the fun terrorism anymore. They've killed thousands of American citizens 72 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 7: and military personnel. We're not putting up with that anymore. 73 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 7: They're spreading terrorism all over the world. They try to 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 7: assassinate me. We're not putting up with that anymore. We're 75 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 7: going to take care of this once and for all. 76 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 7: We're not going to push it off to the next generation. 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 7: My envoy came back, Steve Wicuff. He said they were 78 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 7: bragging about the fact that they could have eleven nuclear 79 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 7: bombs in ten days. And I'm supposed to listen to 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 7: Chuck Schumer. I'm supposed to waste my time with AOC. 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 7: I'm supposed to care when some editorial page has to say, 82 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 7: he's the president of the United States. 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: He knows what he's doing. 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 7: My issue here is they say premature, he's sending mixed 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 7: signals premature. I don't think he's premature at all. And 86 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 7: he hasn't sent mixed signals unless he wants to send 87 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 7: mixed signals, and that's the way he negotiates and so forth. 88 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 7: So the fact of the matter is this regime is dead. 89 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 7: The question is whether we let it live, whether we 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 7: allowed the re life into it. And that's why these 91 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 7: negotiations are critical. 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 8: Ten points fifteen points, right, how are you going to 93 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 8: square that away during these negotiations? 94 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: And if it's an. 95 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 8: Objective to get there as quickly as possible, you're not 96 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 8: going to resolve that. You're not going to come to 97 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 8: an understanding. I mean, this will be two weeks of frustration. 98 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 8: I'm kind of surprised that the ceasefires lasted as long 99 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 8: as it has so far. 100 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 3: Right, you know this is. 101 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 8: We've got to remember that the strategic objective was to 102 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 8: remove Iran's ability to create a new clear weapon. That 103 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 8: is job number one, and no matter how that's achieved, 104 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 8: we need to commit ourselves to that. But we have 105 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 8: to make the case to the American public, and we 106 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 8: haven't done that yet, right, So this should be a 107 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 8: time that the administration begins to work on that to 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 8: justify why we're there. Because again, as I mentioned to you, 109 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 8: the last time we were together. Once you put boots 110 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 8: on the ground, it's a completely different Wars. 111 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 9: For them is a video game. This is a television series. 112 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 9: You know, to listen to the Secretary of Defense. We 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 9: don't have a Department of War, people, but it's a 114 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 9: Secretary of Defense sitting up here talking the way he talks. 115 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: These young men and women. What is their. 116 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 9: Expectation when they go into battle, and you know that's 117 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 9: not going to be their reality. Their reality is not 118 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 9: going to be this clean cut. Oh yes, we dropped 119 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 9: the bomb. Things blew up and everybody went scurrying back 120 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 9: into their holes. 121 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: That's not how it works. 122 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 10: The enemy fights the enemy. 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: We fonds, well, I don't think we can. 124 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 11: When you look at Kalibau or Rachi, these are both 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 11: revolutionary guards people. 126 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: They came out of the RRGC. They're not normal people. 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 11: I think the only normal person you have is Prosesshkian, 128 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 11: who's there president. But the rest of them are revolutionary leaders. 129 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 11: They've been fighting for forty years against the United States. 130 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 11: And you've got to picture up there with Vahiti. He's 131 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 11: the same one. He runs the IRGC right now. But 132 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 11: he's an old revolutionary too. So you're dealing with people 133 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 11: who are steeped in believing the United States is the 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 11: great scene, and we need to go in there and 135 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 11: realize this is not a business deal. This is war, 136 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 11: and we're settling a war. We are the victors, and 137 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 11: we're going to come in like we are the. 138 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 7: They are dead men walking now, are we going to 139 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 7: resuscitate them or not? As far as the Straits go, 140 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 7: that's international waters. 141 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: They don't get to control it. 142 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 7: There's eight countries on the shorelines of that navigable area. 143 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 7: Who says around gets to make decisions about what goes 144 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 7: on there. They have to be put in their place. 145 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 7: If we're me, I'm not president, so I'm just projecting. 146 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 7: I'd say, here are my twelve points. You surrender or 147 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 7: we'll see you in a week or two. And that's that. 148 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 7: We're not there to negotiating any kind of deal. We're 149 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 7: negotiating their surrender. That's my view. This president has been 150 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 7: up against the Democrats, he's been up against the woke right, 151 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: he's been up against the media, he's been up against 152 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 7: the UN, he's been up against NATO, and he's doing 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 7: the right thing. 154 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: They've had fifty years to figure. 155 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 7: This out, and he's figured it out, and he says 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 7: no to all these other people, they're wrong. What would 157 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 7: we do today, Martha if they had a nuclear weapon? 158 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 7: They control the Straits and there's not a damn thing 159 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 7: we could do about it. They control the entire oil 160 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 7: in that entire region. That whole region would change with 161 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 7: China's presence, with Russia's presidence, and so forth and so on. Moreover, 162 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 7: they keep threatening US. These are terrorists, These are suicide bombers. 163 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 7: They'd be suicide bombers with new lear weapons, and they 164 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 7: could use those nuclear weapons to kill tens of millions 165 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 7: on Americans. Let me ask Ronald Trump's the president. He 166 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 7: has to make those decisions. 167 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 12: The last you know, twelve to twenty four hours or so, 168 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 12: there's been a little bit more optimism, and I know 169 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 12: the President himself is hoping that once they are in 170 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 12: person in Pakistan that hopefully they can broach some of 171 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 12: the really large daylight between these two different plans, as 172 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 12: Nick laid out, the ten point plan from Iran the 173 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 12: fifteen point plan from the US. I am told they're 174 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 12: expecting the meeting on Saturday with the Vice President. Steve 175 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 12: wickoftyared Kushner to be the first of likely several intense 176 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 12: negotiations over that two week ceasefire, and of course they 177 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 12: could ultimately extend the seasfire further if they believe progress 178 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 12: is being made. But one thing I just want to 179 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 12: point out about Vance himself quickly is that, you know, 180 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 12: one I've been told that his presence here is really 181 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 12: meant to lend a certain air of credence to these toxies. 182 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 12: Of course, the president's number two has a lot of 183 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 12: the President's full trust to. 184 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: Negotiate on his behalf. But also one thing. 185 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 12: That's been interesting as well from some of my conversations 186 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 12: around this is that they recognize Vance as someone that 187 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 12: the pakistanis the mediators involved in this, but also the 188 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 12: Iranians know as someone who is a former anti interventionist 189 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 12: person in foreign wars, that he was one of the 190 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 12: few people who did not want the president to move 191 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 12: forward with strikes, which could also give perhaps a sense 192 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 12: of giving Vance looking more reasonable perhaps in their eyes. 193 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 12: Will have to see how these negotiations go. 194 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: But of course, O Kate, look. 195 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 13: This was a hot inflation report, and the fingerprints of 196 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 13: the war in the Middle East are all over this report. 197 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 13: So consumer price is surging by zero point nine percent 198 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 13: between February and March. 199 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: That's triple the rate of the prior month, and that's 200 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: the highest in any month in almost four years. 201 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 13: You got to go back to June twenty twenty two, 202 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 13: when gas press were five dollars a gallon. The annual 203 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 13: rate ticked up two bubbles. It went up sharply to 204 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 13: three point three percent. That was slightly less than expected, 205 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 13: but that's the highest annual rate, as you mentioned, in 206 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 13: almost two years. In fact, this is the highest annual 207 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 13: inflation in any month of either of President Trump's two 208 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 13: terms in the White House. This is looking at the 209 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 13: trend for inflation. You can see it had been moving 210 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 13: in the right direction. 211 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 14: Has a right line up. 212 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's going straight up. So why did this happen? Well, 213 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 13: obviously gasoline is a major part of this. The Bureau 214 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 13: Labor Statistics says that three quarters of the monthly increase 215 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 13: in prices was driven by the fact that gas prices 216 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 13: skyrocketed by twenty one percent a month over month. 217 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: That's the most since. 218 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 13: They started tracking this back in nineteen sixty seven when 219 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 13: LBJ was in the White House. Airfare also went up 220 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 13: significantly of three percent increase in airfare. That's actually less 221 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 13: than it could have been. I mean, Jeff, fuel costs 222 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 13: have doubles since the war started, So airfare up three 223 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 13: percent is not good, but it's actually likely to get 224 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 13: worse in the coming months. Tomato prices also up by 225 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 13: fifteen percent on a monthly basis. 226 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: That's the most since twenty eleven. 227 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 13: Now, the news isn't all bad here, right, egg prices, 228 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 13: among other things, eggs went down. Overall, grocery prices actually 229 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 13: were down between February and March, unfortunately, though that's not 230 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 13: likely to last, right, because the war the Middle East 231 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 13: has interrupted the supply of critical materials, including fertilizer and 232 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 13: when you combine and diesel. 233 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 15: Right, so you combine all that. 234 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 13: That's why economists are saying that you could start to 235 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 13: see food prices go up. 236 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 3: Now. 237 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 13: One thing to note is core inflation, which economists say 238 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 13: is a better underlying indicator of where inflation is really going. 239 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 13: Core inflation only ticked up a little bit, but that's 240 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 13: not likely to last. We do expect these other price 241 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 13: increases to see through the rest of the economy. 242 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: Bottom line here, Kate. 243 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 13: Look, the war is clearly making life more expensive for Americans, 244 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 13: and this is likely not over right, This is. 245 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: Not just a March story. 246 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 13: We're going to continue to see the impact of the 247 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 13: war in inflation reports going forward, which just means the. 248 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: Cost of living is likely to get worse. 249 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 7: We're taking out that regime because it's our enemy. We're 250 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 7: taking out that regime because it killed our people. We're 251 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 7: taking out that regime because they wanted nukes. 252 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: And if it remains in some form, you know, it's 253 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: like a weed whacker. The weeds grow, they keep coming. 254 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 7: You might at the top of it and the next level, 255 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 7: but the weeds keep growing. And if we don't get 256 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 7: down into the weeds, they're going to keep growing. 257 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 16: Friday, ten April, in the Year of Our Lord, twenty 258 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 16: twenty six, tel Aviv Levin. 259 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 15: You got him right there making his case. We try 260 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 15: to give it. 261 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 16: I want to thank Denver, the Real America's voice team 262 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 16: in Denver. Of course our own crack team here at 263 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 16: the War Room, because I think these cold opens give 264 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 16: the best summering of a range of opinions what people 265 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 16: are thinking. 266 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 15: Of course, inflation. 267 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 16: Data is out today and we're going to get Eric 268 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 16: Bowling on here and break all that down in the 269 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 16: fog of war. It looks like the team is to 270 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 16: Islamabad to negotiate. Now there's obviously these questions. The tent, 271 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 16: the maximust position of the Iranians, and the ten points, 272 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 16: which are eight of them, are completely unacceptable even to 273 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 16: talk about. Of course our fifteen points, Mark Levin would 274 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 16: be correct, that would be essentially an unconditional surrender. There's 275 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 16: supposed to be a modified ten that they have somehow 276 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 16: agreed to, at least have agreed partly to, and it 277 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 16: we'll find out about that. But it looks like the 278 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 16: team is going to leave and going to go to Islamabad. 279 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 16: Will be covering it on the Saturday Show, and even 280 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 16: though there's a tenuous cease fire, we're going to cover 281 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 16: it on We're going to continue our seven day week 282 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 16: coverage at least through the ceasefire. So we'll be live 283 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 16: on Sunday to report on what's going on. Eric Bondy's 284 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 16: going to join us a minute. We're going to talk 285 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 16: about the markets. Also, I want to talk about I 286 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 16: had Philip Patrick on last night about this Bloomberg report 287 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 16: that Central banks hit a trip wire in March and 288 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 16: in the first quarter of this year, where gold backed 289 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 16: assets actually were increased, actually more than dollar backed assets. 290 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 16: The President's got a repost of a John Solomon just 291 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 16: a news article about a great reset that would be 292 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 16: a reset with the Chinese Communist Party, Thank God, because 293 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 16: we certainly need one. 294 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 15: Anyway, We're going to get into oil war, all of it. 295 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 16: But we're going to turn our focus this morning back 296 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 16: on inside the wire, the fight for the United States 297 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 16: of America, inside the United States of America, not from 298 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 16: the rubble in Tehran. 299 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 15: Take your phone out text Bannon b A. N. N 300 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 15: Owen at nine eight nine eight nine eight get the 301 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 15: ultimate guide. It's totally free, no. 302 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 16: Obligation from Birch Gold on investing and gold and precious 303 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 16: metals in the age of Trump. 304 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 15: And talked to Philip Patrick and. 305 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 7: His team now more than every they are dead men 306 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 7: walking now. 307 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 3: Are we going to resuscitate them or not? 308 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 7: As far as the Straits go, that's international waters. 309 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: They don't get to control it. 310 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 7: There's eight countries on the shorelines of that navigable area. 311 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 7: Who says around gets to make decisions about what goes 312 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 7: on there. They have to be put in their place. 313 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 7: If we're me. I'm not president, so I'm just projecting. 314 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 7: I'd say, here are my twelve points. You surrender or 315 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 7: we'll see you in a week or two. And that's that. 316 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 7: We're not there to negotiating any kind of deal. We're 317 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 7: negotiating their surrender. That's my view. This president has been 318 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 7: up against the Democrats, he's been up against the woke right, 319 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 7: he's been up against the media, he's been up against 320 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 7: the UN, he's been up against NATO. 321 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: And he's doing the right thing. 322 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 7: They've had fifty years to figure this out, and he's 323 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 7: figured it out, and he says no to all these 324 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 7: other people, they're wrong. What would we do today, Martha? 325 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 7: If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd control the Straits 326 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 7: and there's not a damn thing we could do about it. 327 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 7: They control the entire oil in that entire region. That 328 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 7: whole region would change with China's presence, with Russia's presence, 329 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 7: and so forth and so on. Moreover, they keep threatening us. 330 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 7: These are terrorists, These are suicide bombers. They'd be suicide 331 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 7: bombers with nuclear weapons, and they could use those nuclear 332 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 7: weapons to kill tens of millions of Americans. 333 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 15: It's forty seven years. I got it, I got it, 334 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 15: I got it. 335 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 16: He does make some I actually think Mark Levin tel 336 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 16: Aviv Levin actually makes some relevant points. I would just 337 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 16: like to note to him that the surrendered document was 338 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,239 Speaker 16: the fifteen point program. We're off the fifteen point program. 339 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 16: I don't say that. I thought there were manute elements 340 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 16: of the fifteen point program that we should stick with. 341 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 16: That's the White House's position. So you got to get 342 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 16: your fact straight. They've already agreed that that's not They're 343 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 16: not negotiating the surrender. The reason they're not negotiating a 344 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 16: surrender is I keep saying, not the reality, but the 345 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 16: reality in the Revolutionary Guard's mind is that they didn't lose. 346 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 16: Why do you think we're sending a team to Islamabad. 347 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 16: So we've got to get serious now what we want 348 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 16: out of this and how we get the hell out 349 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 16: of here, and let America's greatest ally do whatever they're 350 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 16: going to do with whoever they want to do it with, 351 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 16: because now this is serious and it's starting to roll 352 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 16: into and I've been very adamant let's just keep the 353 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 16: midterms away, because every day is a major historical day here, 354 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 16: and we've got to get through the day and keep 355 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 16: the big picture. Now, the best news I've seen in 356 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 16: the last twenty four hours is John Solomon's team over 357 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 16: Just the News has put up a this about the oil, 358 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 16: the sanctioned oil, which I keep bitching and moaning about 359 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 16: and about stopping it it and and seizing it and 360 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 16: not let any China, not let the not let the 361 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 16: the regime monetize it. And there's an article and then 362 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 16: President Trump reposts and said, the greatest reset in like 363 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 16: world history. 364 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 15: I'm down with that. That's good. I like that. 365 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 10: That. 366 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 16: That's why I'm saying, let's shift to If that's the 367 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 16: attitude and that's the negotiating attitude, let's take that attitude 368 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 16: and just go to Beijing. Don't don't don't deal with 369 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 16: intermediaries in Pakistan or even the Revolutionary Guard, go right 370 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 16: to their sponsors. 371 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 15: Principal to principle. Anyway, there's a lot going on everybody. 372 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 16: We want to say first, you know, we've we on 373 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 16: our starting team, on our starting team in the war room. 374 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 16: Over the years, we had Scott Bessett, Russ Vote, Peter Navarro, 375 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 16: Dave Walsh, and people should know Dave's got a very 376 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 16: big job in the government. 377 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 15: Uh and and and and. 378 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 16: Dave Bratt who hasn't been on will because Dave Brad 379 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 16: has got some huge opportunities. I think we're gonna hear 380 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 16: about shortly. And so we've had to restock. And you're 381 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 16: doing such a great job here because we can just 382 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 16: talk about the evidences shown up today. I don't think 383 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 16: it's going to be too long before they asked Bowling 384 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 16: to take a sixty or ninety day hiatus from his 385 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 16: Hits show at four o'clock and going as an advisor here. 386 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 16: So walk through because today I just want to in 387 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 16: the fog of war, we've got you know, the Macdaddy, 388 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 16: Drudge and Wall Street still saying, hey, there's ten to 389 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 16: fifteen ships maybe going through today, you know through hor 390 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 16: Mows totally controlled by the Iranians, may either flagged Iranian 391 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 16: flags or oil cargoes for the Iranians, nothing else going through. 392 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 16: There's still hundreds of ships backed up there. You've got 393 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 16: this inflation data, you have the Bloomberg story yesterday about 394 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 16: how this is going to have a lasting impact, and 395 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 16: we had Philip Patrick on yes say, but I want 396 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 16: you to address it also. It's going to have a 397 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 16: lasting impact on the dollar because now the world is 398 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 16: seeing how we're using economic sanctions and going after the currency, 399 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 16: and you know, telling UAE to seize their assets in 400 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 16: the pirate town of Dubai, and so they've got more 401 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 16: goalback assets and central banks now than dollar back. And 402 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 16: although it should be a massive flight to safety, you're 403 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 16: not seeing that. So I want to take all of 404 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 16: that and just turn it to you because you've been 405 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 16: so dead spot on with how you've been guiding us 406 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 16: in this. But I want to specifically talk about this 407 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 16: inflation number, because you got some people saying, hey, it's 408 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 16: not as bad as all that, It's actually okay. You know, 409 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 16: if egg price are down, food prices down, you got 410 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 16: other people saying, I see the end of the world 411 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 16: and it's coming. So Eric Bowling, make us feel smarter 412 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 16: on this Friday morning, Sir. 413 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 17: Now you have the smartest audience barn down of any 414 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 17: certainly any show, by the number that Cold Open you ran, 415 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 17: especially towards the end where you had the CNN analyst, 416 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 17: I guess he's an economists analyst totally surprised and saying, 417 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 17: oh my gosh, can you believe this number? 418 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 10: We've been Stephen. 419 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 17: We've been talking about this since I started with you 420 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 17: forty four days ago. I said, this is coming. Energy 421 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 17: inflation is coming. If you notice too that you take 422 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 17: that number down. So month over month from February to March. 423 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 17: Remember the war started February, last day of February, so 424 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 17: March is the beginning. Bad news is it's only beginning. 425 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 10: It's the. 426 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 17: Gasoline price. When this thing started, it was about three 427 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 17: to twenty four gallon. It's now almost four to twenty 428 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 17: a gallon. For the whole forty days it's gone up. 429 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 17: That means inflation will continue to rise for another forty days. 430 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 17: It'll be baked into the next number. And to do 431 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 17: a triple month over month, triple from point three percent 432 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 17: two point nine percent is massive. And here's the worst 433 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 17: part of it, all of it, all of it. They 434 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 17: have this other number they break out called core CPI 435 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 17: Consumer pricing. Next is the overall headline number, which we 436 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 17: were tripped month over month. But the core CPI they 437 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 17: pull out food and energy, it was flat, So there's 438 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 17: no inflation other than energy, food and energy. I went 439 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 17: further and looked, food inflation is flat. Energy inflation is 440 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 17: ramping up. It's ripping and we've been Stephen. People call 441 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 17: me a panic can on the chats. I'm just showing 442 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 17: what I know, what I've done for thirty five years. 443 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 17: It's going to be worse. It's going to continue to 444 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 17: be worse. Gasolines up twenty five Gasoline inflation is the 445 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 17: highest it's ever ever been recorded, just gasoline throwing diesel fuel, 446 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 17: which is even higher than gasoline. Prices are going up, 447 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 17: as we all know, First the energy goes up. Then 448 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 17: everything that you input into a manufacturing process or refinery, 449 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 17: a food processing, a transportation, a trucking company, a rail company, 450 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 17: a jet fuel company. 451 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 10: Those will continue to rise. 452 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 17: The prices of those things have to rise because the 453 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 17: feedstock the input is oil and the backside of or 454 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 17: gasoline on the back side of that, it's inflationary. And 455 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 17: people aren't you know, businesses aren't philanthropic. They're just going 456 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 17: to pass that along to the consumer. So my problem is, 457 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 17: I see CNN, I see c NBC, I see Fox News, 458 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 17: totally shocked that this thing, the energy price, is ripping 459 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 17: our faces off. But if you've been watching the war Room, 460 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 17: you knew about it. You knew it was coming, even 461 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 17: though You. 462 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 16: May not like mood to telling you, but it's two things, 463 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 16: two things, and you're the the people that throw at 464 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 16: that panic in they're just not realists. 465 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 15: They got pomp poms up. 466 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 16: And what the president doesn't need right now is people 467 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 16: with pom poms trust me. You need to be able 468 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 16: to say, hey, look, this is some real data, this 469 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 16: is some real alternatives. What's the course of action here, 470 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 16: because we're the ultimate gold is the implementation of the 471 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 16: Trump program right in the MAGA program. I want to 472 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 16: go back, isn't the concern here around the concern is 473 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 16: that in this month we still with the It's still 474 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 16: most of the of what we consumed was on the 475 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 16: water or in the refineries at the time. So what's 476 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 16: happened over the last thirty days and now this you 477 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 16: know it's up to one hundred and five or it's 478 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 16: back to ninety, but it's still double. You know, when 479 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 16: BB went to the White House, you know, between Christmas 480 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 16: and New Year's it was around what fifty bucks or 481 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 16: maybe it had a four handle in front of it. 482 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 15: It's that increase its coming down. So that is that 483 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 15: a concern? Go ahead? 484 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 17: Yeah, and late a late March, late March, we talked 485 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 17: about this. There's some of the refiners that I talked 486 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 17: to said that the last of the cheap oil was 487 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 17: hitting our shores right now, or globally hitting hitting shores 488 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 17: from transportation, which means after late even late March, when 489 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 17: you're going to start to see prices ramp up. So, 490 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 17: like I said, even if we get oil down to 491 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 17: seventy dollars a barrel again, gasoling diesel, jet fuel prices 492 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 17: have to continue to rise because they've bought, they've purchased 493 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 17: very expensive crude oil to input into the refinery. 494 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 10: They're not going to take the loss on it. 495 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 17: They're just going to pass it on to the retail 496 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 17: establishment of businesses. 497 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 10: And that ends up coming out of our pocket. 498 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 17: Listen, this is technical, but one thing was very concerning 499 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 17: about that number that I have heard anyone talk about. 500 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 17: Consumer sentiment dropped dramatically, which means people are fearful of 501 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 17: their their walls, their their their budgets. 502 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 10: Because of what they see on the on the pump, Stephen. 503 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 17: Everything is tied to gasoline and tied to energy, whether 504 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 17: you feel it or not. Toilet paper, wallpaper, paint, everything 505 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 17: has a petroleum input to it. 506 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 10: Or transportation, which is tied. 507 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 15: Into fertilizing people are nervous. 508 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 17: There's now all of a sudden, So then we'll see 509 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 17: if the consumers. 510 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 15: By the way, also wages also. Yeah. 511 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 16: Also the President Trump's the wage increases he's gotten for people, 512 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 16: that's starting to be eaten in inflation. 513 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 15: I think the real wages are starting to drop anyway, 514 00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 15: President Trump. 515 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 16: The economic plan of President Trump, investment, everybody navarrow, is 516 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 16: all predicated just like in the first term, is all 517 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 16: predicated upon a full spectrum energy dominance, right, full spectrum 518 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 16: energy dominance. And President Trump's done, when he's done on 519 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 16: this war. To conclude it, I'm gonna ask Eric when 520 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 16: we get back. I'm asking now. We'll give us the 521 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 16: answer when we get back. He's made these efforts, We've 522 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 16: got to cease fire. Why are the world's all markets 523 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 16: not responding as we had hoped. 524 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 15: We want to get this back to fifty dollars. 525 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 16: A barrel or lower as President Trump has a targeted. 526 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 15: We're going to take a short commercial. 527 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 16: Break economics, capital markets, the war, but we're then going 528 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 16: to pivot to the war inside the wire here in 529 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 16: the United States, are we winning, losing or sitting it 530 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 16: out all next in the war room. 531 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 10: War room, use your host, Stephen k Back. 532 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 15: I think every I think people and Eric help me 533 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 15: out here. 534 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 16: I think people, because folks want this to end and 535 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 16: to have some sort of, if not conclusion enough that 536 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 16: we can move forward. And so this is a fragile truce. 537 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 16: I think it's the term that people have been using. 538 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 16: And President Trump has this, you know, cease fire, that 539 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 16: is you know, and you still have elements of the 540 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 16: UH the Iranians because they're very dispersed, They're they're. 541 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 15: Not centralized anymore. That's their strategy. 542 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 16: You've also got This is why I keep harping on, 543 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 16: You've got to be in a room with somebody, not 544 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 16: just consign a deal and going to the in front 545 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 16: of the media and talk about a deal, but they 546 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 16: can actually be able to enforce a deal. I'm not 547 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 16: so sure the guys around those tribesmen around the straight 548 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 16: or horror moves are actually part of anybody's program. That'll 549 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 16: all be found out right. There is a reason that 550 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 16: the United States Navy is not enforcing an open waterway 551 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 16: international waterway in her moves, but allowing these guys to 552 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 16: still charge. And you can tell from the Bloomberg piece 553 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 16: not just our sanctions, but also the fact that that 554 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 16: element of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are trying to charge 555 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 16: it in in yuan, in Chinese currency, or if they 556 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 16: can't do that, crypto, and if they're doing crypto, you 557 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 16: realize they're going to skim it right to themselves, even 558 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 16: screw the Chinese. 559 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 15: How's that? 560 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 4: So? 561 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 16: President Trump's doing what he can do, and right now 562 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 16: this is fragile. I think Eric, the global commodity and 563 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 16: capital markets are kind of an agreement of that. This 564 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 16: is a big kind of catch your breath and kind 565 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 16: of wait and see what President Trump can actually hammer 566 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 16: out here. 567 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 17: Sir, Yeah, yeah, I think you're you're hit on the head. 568 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 17: The markets are ominously quiet right now. And I'll tell you, Steve, 569 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 17: there's still city ninety eight dollars a barrel as we speak. 570 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 10: Just think about that for one second. 571 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 17: We started this conflict, let's say fifty five sixty dollars 572 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 17: a barrel, So oil is up eighty percent. Gasoline, although 573 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 17: it feels like it's you know, killing us right now, 574 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 17: is only up twenty five percent. Dee's love thirty, which 575 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 17: means all this crude oil that's up eighty percent. For 576 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 17: most of the parts of this war, it's been elevated 577 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 17: like this will work its way into the gasoline price 578 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 17: and diesel price, So we're going to a lot higher now. 579 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 10: I will also tell you this. 580 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 17: You and I both know Donald Trump can get oil 581 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 17: back to fifty dollars a barrel or lower. I was there, 582 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 17: you were in the White House. I was watching it 583 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 17: on Fox in trading. He got oil negative. It didn't 584 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 17: go to twenty or ten. It went negative. There was 585 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 17: so much we were so wash and oil that people 586 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 17: were paying to store their oil. 587 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 10: He can do it again. 588 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 17: I'm not saying zero, but he can certainly get the 589 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 17: fifty dollars handle if and when he finishes whatever. 590 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 10: You know, the plan is for this straight up Hord movement. 591 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 10: At least. 592 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 17: This is why I've been saying, let's just rip the 593 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 17: band aid off one way or the other and get 594 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 17: back to all liberty above energy strategy. Get oil prices down, 595 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 17: get inflation down, and let the economy rip and let 596 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 17: people really put some money back into their pocket because 597 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 17: they vote with their pockets, with their wallets, and with 598 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 17: their budgets, No doubt about it. I would I'm talking 599 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 17: to the best political strategist on the planet right now, 600 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 17: Stephen K. 601 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 10: Bannon. Am I wrong in any of those assessments? 602 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 16: Well, I think it's first things first, right, I think, 603 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 16: and people have to have realistic That's why I think 604 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 16: tel Aviv Levin, although I do agree with some of 605 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 16: his points, it's unrealistic right now. The surrender document of 606 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 16: the surrender, the instrument of surrender was the fifteen points 607 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 16: we put because it was a maximum strategy. Hey, it's 608 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 16: Donald Trump. Do you know you know he's going to 609 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 16: negotiate and go put a maximums strategy. This even having 610 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 16: the meeting Islamabad shows you that it's going to be 611 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 16: something less than a full unnginditial curt that's just not 612 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 16: going to happen. And you have to kind of figure 613 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 16: this out as you go, President Trump, you can tell 614 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 16: us doing that. I keep saying that the central party 615 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 16: in this is the sponsor of the Revolutionary Guard right 616 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 16: now is both in weapons and access to weapons and 617 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 16: access to cash money is the Chinese Commist Party. Now, 618 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 16: That's why I think this meeting in May is going 619 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 16: to be so big. It's gonna be principal to principle 620 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 16: it's going to be President Trump in the room with she, 621 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 16: and I think that's going to actually form, because I 622 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 16: don't believe where we sit now you're actually going to 623 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 16: get to full documentation. Even if you get some sort 624 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 16: of term sheet coming at an Islamabad, some terms she 625 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 16: come out Islamabad. I think it's unlikely that will ever 626 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 16: get some written formal instrument of agreement between the two parties, 627 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 16: because I think the two parties are just so far apart. 628 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 15: I do believe though, that this. 629 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 16: Issue of her moves and how's it going to be, 630 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 16: you know, how you're going to actually open it up 631 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 16: and have the free navigation, have the free flow of oil. 632 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 16: Eric is going to become more and more central every 633 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 16: day we go forward, particularly if the Uranians keep playing 634 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 16: their games, which is I mean, you tell me the 635 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 16: number of ships coming through here is still a small 636 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 16: percentage of what it was at its height, and particularly 637 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 16: need what it needs to be if or to have 638 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 16: a full booming world economy, of which the United States 639 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 16: is the engine of it. 640 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 15: And I think the radio meeting the other. 641 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 16: Day was pretty pretty obvious that he didn't you know 642 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 16: what Secretary General Roots or Route did not come to 643 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 16: the sticks right after it said I had a great 644 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 16: meeting with President Trump. Were fully committed to put the 645 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 16: role Navy, the French Navy, the Italian Navy, the German, 646 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 16: all the navies of Europe down here on picket duty 647 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 16: and escort duty with the United States Navy to take 648 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 16: our burden of it. 649 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 15: I didn't hear that. 650 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 16: One of the reason you didn't hear it is that 651 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 16: they ain't got it right because their people are taking 652 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 16: the month of August off, they're retiring when they're fifty 653 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 16: years old. 654 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 15: They got full medical benefits. 655 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 16: Everything US workers don't have they got and why they 656 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 16: have it because they're not paying for their defense. The 657 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 16: United States is paying for it and manning it with 658 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 16: their kids. So we're facing some quite stark realities. But 659 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 16: you saw in the numbers today. To get those numbers 660 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 16: back in line and to make sure we're back to 661 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 16: driving the Trump economic agenda, because everything President Trump worked 662 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 16: for with the tariffs, with the big beautiful bill, everything 663 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 16: was about driving us back to being a manufacturing hegemon. 664 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 16: And then you're clearly going to hit some speed bumps, Eric, 665 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 16: as you've defined for this audience. If the predicate for 666 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 16: that is full spectrum energy dominance in oil with a 667 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 16: four handle in front of it or a five handle 668 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 16: in front of it. 669 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 15: It doesn't work. 670 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 16: Or let's say this, it works differently when you're at 671 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 16: ninety dollars a barrow or one hundred dollars a borrow. 672 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 10: Sir, so much to unpack here. 673 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 17: The strait is technically partially open, but again it's maybe 674 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 17: fifteen vessels per day versus the one hundred and fifty 675 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 17: vessels per day total. They're also being both directions, so 676 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 17: it's not just oil coming out, there's vessels going back in. 677 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 17: And this is the most important part of it, Steve. 678 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 17: The ones that are being navigated through the strait right 679 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 17: now are being directed by the Iranian people. 680 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 10: I ERGC are telling you because they know where their 681 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 10: minds may. 682 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 17: Be, or they're playing a game of like, we have 683 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 17: to tell you how to navigate the strait otherwise you 684 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 17: run the risk of blowing up. All of this is 685 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 17: an upward pressure on oil. 686 00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 10: Trump. 687 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 3: Here's two other things. 688 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 17: Right so right now, if you want to extend this 689 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 17: for a while, you want to, China does get hurt. 690 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 17: But we should not forget that China has a reserve 691 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 17: oil capacity of one point two billion barrels. They don't 692 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 17: that's about one hundred and I think it's one hundred 693 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 17: and twenty days, so four months of reserve. They can 694 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 17: they can last on reserves until things get cleaned up. 695 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 10: So hurting, yes, you take. 696 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 16: A long deal of yo yo, hold it, hang on, 697 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 16: hang on, hang on full stop. I want to let's 698 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 16: go and talk about that. That's all sanctioned oil. Correct 699 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 16: me if I'm wrong. I don't know we sanctioned these people. 700 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 16: How did that get out? And how they have a 701 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 16: one point two bill in reserve? At least it's that's 702 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 16: what the intelligence services are telling us in the oil markets. 703 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 16: But that was all sanctioned. That shouldn't be there. This 704 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 16: is why we've kind of, I guess, looked the other way. 705 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 16: I mean, you tell me you're the old guy. But 706 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 16: how did they have this reserve, which I think is 707 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 16: roughly one hundred days of what they need? 708 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 15: And how they still getting it? 709 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 16: So how those fifteen chips, how many are going to 710 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 16: the CCP? And and this is how the cc twenty 711 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 16: percent of the tire Chinese Commanist Party's energy needs in totality. 712 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 16: I think it's from Iranian oil. That's why they're the 713 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 16: sponsors of Iran. They're the biggest financial sponsors of Iran. 714 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 16: And you got this bank, you got these banks and 715 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 16: financial institutions in Dubai, the Pirate cove. Last time I looked, 716 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 16: I think NBZ ran UAE and I think he oversees Dubai. 717 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 16: I don't understand why they're able to use, you know, 718 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 16: Dubai banks, UAE banks to money launder and get cash 719 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,479 Speaker 16: from sanctioned countries. President Trump said yesterday two days ago, 720 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 16: a fifty percent increase in terroifts for anybody that's breaking 721 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 16: sanctions with the Iranians. 722 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 15: Uh, and I. 723 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 16: Assume that's the Chinese Commanist Party put a fifty percent terrify. 724 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 16: This is also let me make for full disclosure in 725 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 16: the Bloomberg piece and with Philip Patrick yesterday, this is 726 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 16: what there are reasons a lot of people saying, hey, 727 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 16: I don't know if we want to be on the 728 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 16: US dollar anymore, not just as has been losing pursing 729 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 16: power because of Biden's madness, but the fact that the Americans, 730 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 16: with the Swiss system and the ability to go freeze assets, 731 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 16: of which we did, are back to the Europeans in 732 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 16: the Ukraine War, and now they're doubling down. I mean, 733 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 16: Scott Besson almost destroyed their currency in January. That's why 734 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 16: hundreds of thousands or millions, a million of them took 735 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 16: to the street and thirty thousand got killed by the 736 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 16: regime in the central banks of the world, led by 737 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 16: the Chinese Communist Party in places like India are saying, hey, 738 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 16: maybe the Americans have too much power. So it's not 739 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 16: this is not a perfect world. But Eric, right now, 740 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 16: when you go back and talk about China and their. 741 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 15: Energy needs, we've somehow looked the other way. 742 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 16: And let that say that all of that oil, one 743 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 16: hundred percent of it sanctioned oil, is it not, sir? 744 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 10: Well, no, not really, Steve, because is it? I don't know? 745 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 10: Was here? Look at it this way. 746 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 17: We have seven hundred and fifty million barrel spr reserve 747 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 17: when it's full. Biden tapped it. Trump has tapped it twice. 748 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 17: Now we're down about a quarter of that. We have 749 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 17: about two hundred million barrel reserve, which is ten days 750 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 17: worth of our oil. China is one point two billion, 751 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,479 Speaker 17: but that's been accumulated over time and they don't tap 752 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 17: into it. They just hold it for an emergency, and 753 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 17: I don't even think they've started using that emergency supply 754 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 17: right now, even so my point was they have some 755 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 17: cushion there. Also, I'm hearing a lot. China and India 756 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 17: are the only two countries are getting the Iranian oil 757 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 17: right now, but those are escorted hips. 758 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 10: In and out and then sent down their way to 759 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 10: India and China. 760 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 17: So it doesn't really help the global market helps China 761 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 17: and India out. I don't this central bank thing is 762 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 17: important because we yes, dollar has lost value for a 763 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 17: better part of four decades. Consistently, it goes, it gets 764 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 17: a little bit of strength in geopolitical but it's starting 765 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 17: to lose value again as things calm down, which is 766 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 17: higher prices on everything dollar down, you got more dollars 767 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 17: to purchase the same amount of goods. So central banks 768 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 17: around the world have reserve gold instead of dollars. And 769 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 17: why do you think gold is forty eight hundred dollars 770 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 17: an ounce now instead of two thousand, which it was 771 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 17: a year and a half ago. Because central banks are 772 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 17: realizing that the dollar is not the place to store 773 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 17: your value anymore. You start in physical commodities like gold, 774 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 17: all these things, and I let just tell you one 775 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 17: more thing. I hate to say this, but you said 776 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 17: something about Biden's horrible inflation was the reason for the dollar. 777 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 10: Well, we're knocking. We're knocking on that door. Ste We're 778 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 10: headed in a direction. 779 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 17: I don't say nine percent, but we certainly could see 780 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 17: a five percent, which is historically horrendous for the economy. 781 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 10: So get it done one way or the other. 782 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 17: Either open it, let them play their little stupid reindeer games, 783 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 17: or bomb the crap out of them and regime change, 784 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 17: civilization change if you want, but do one of the 785 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 17: other so you can get back to Sorry it sounds harsh, 786 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 17: get back to a fifty dollars barrel of oil. One 787 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 17: more little cabat to a fifty dollars barrel of oil. 788 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 17: You're approaching how much it costs for these middle countries 789 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 17: to pull oil out of the ground, the cost of loan. 790 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,479 Speaker 17: You get it under fifty.

Uh, the one point two billion 812 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 16: would have been drawn down if the sanctioned oil wasn't 813 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 16: getting through. I think what President Trump is telling people 814 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 16: now is that it can't be any more games. We 815 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 16: put in very tough sanctions, and you could tell some 816 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,959 Speaker 16: of some of them are being worked around. It's still 817 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 16: very I think ill defined whether the UE sees the 818 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 16: assets of. 819 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 15: The Iranian. 820 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 16: Of the Raniant Republican Guard and the Itolas, and it 821 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 16: obviously is going to have impact on the US dollar 822 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 16: and what we do going for as a prime reserve currency. 823 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 16: Like I said, I do believe we need a national 824 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 16: debate on being the prime reserve currency and the whole 825 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 16: situation of our central banks, all of it, because something's 826 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 16: not working for the American people. However, when we have 827 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 16: young men and women in harm's way and we're talking 828 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 16: about a two hundred billion dollars, now that might be 829 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 16: less because this war came to a looks like it's 830 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 16: come to a at least a conclusion, some of a 831 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 16: conclusion shorter than the original objectives, which I think we're 832 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 16: another couple of weeks or maybe even another couple of months, 833 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,479 Speaker 16: or may not be two hundred billion. 834 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,439 Speaker 15: But when you got a russ vote's going to get child. 835 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 16: He's going to get shredded next week because they've got 836 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 16: a budget they're coming forward has a one point five. 837 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 15: Trillion dollar. 838 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 16: Defense spending, which I think is half a trillion dollars 839 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 16: above the tree in also, and I'm not quite sure 840 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 16: where even the two inner billion fits in, because that 841 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 16: has got to be paid for somehow, and there's no 842 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 16: appetite among Democrats or modern Republicans to cut social programs. 843 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 16: If you think there's a appetite, you have twenty traders 844 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 16: right now in the Republican Party, twenty that are co 845 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 16: sponsors of one of the most egregious amnesty bills I've 846 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 16: ever seen. 847 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 15: And I've been doing this a while. 848 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 16: We had Rosemary jinks on yesterday about Salazar's bill and 849 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 16: how awful is and she calls it the saw bill 850 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 16: to screw American worker bill. She sayss one of the 851 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 16: worst things she's ever seen. And so that's where we are, 852 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 16: and those are Republicans working with Democrats. 853 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 15: So the issues that face us here in the country 854 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 15: are enormous. 855 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 16: This is why President Trump was elected to come back, 856 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 16: because people realize in the stolen election of twenty twenty 857 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 16: and the illegitimate regime that is Joe Biden, of what 858 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 16: damage they did to the country. This is why the 859 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,959 Speaker 16: Mass Deportation Coalition has been formed. This is why people 860 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 16: are coming up now with and I keep telling people, 861 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 16: you're going to see more populism and you're going to 862 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 16: see nationalism that's going to go to ultranationalism and what. 863 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,720 Speaker 15: Do I mean by that? More America first. 864 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 16: But as importantly, something gets lost here in the equation, 865 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 16: and you see in some of. 866 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 15: The statistics today, particularly about wages. 867 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 16: President Trump's always driven this that real wages always increase, 868 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 16: and that's why people feel very comfortable when he drives 869 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 16: the economy. When that starts reversing itself, then questions got 870 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 16: to be asked, Hey, are we doing enough where we 871 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 16: focus enough that when I say ulternationalists that that American 872 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 16: citizens must come first in everything that's done, everything that's done. 873 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 16: I equate it back to the Roman Empire, the Roman Republic. 874 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 16: You had Roman citizenship, you had a special deal. People 875 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 16: throughout the world and where you were in the world 876 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 16: knew you had a special deal. Wow you got Roman citizenship. 877 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 16: That's pretty special. Well, American citizenship should be far greater 878 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 16: than that. 879 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 15: And it's not. 880 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 16: American citizens are screwed every day of the week, every 881 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 16: day of the week in this in this immigration, all 882 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 16: the scams. We should have a ten year ban on 883 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 16: all immigration. People say, oh, we're legal, and then it's 884 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 16: not legal. 885 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 15: It's a scam. Look at the H one b's look 886 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 15: at this. 887 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 16: Disaster down to Texas where that's just below, right below 888 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 16: the Islamic invasion issue. So you see these fights and 889 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 16: the way we're going to win is not TV ads, right, 890 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 16: it's it's it's it's not when Cornin is done in 891 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 16: Texas to try to destroy Ken Paxon and do it 892 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 16: on and do it on TV. This is one of 893 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 16: the things in the central fight right now is Texas 894 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 16: is also the Commonwealth of Virginia.
