Sencom releasing a very 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.239 powerful message that it is sending all of these vessels 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.400 attempting to enter or to leave Iran imports. If you 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.800 do not comply with this blockade, we will use force. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.000 The whole of the United States Navy is ready to 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.160 force compliance. Let's play it. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.320 The US is announce the mormal blockade Iranian courts and 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.440 coastal areas. This is a legal action. All vessels are 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.800 advised to immediately return to fort and a leaving I 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.640 just continue trains it to her on if that is 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.000 your next court call. We not you have to reach 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.039 the blockade. Vessels will be boarded from interdiction and seezer 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.200 trains a tour from Iranian court. Turn around and prepare 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.440 to be boarded. You do not replying with this blockade. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:24.560 He will use sports. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.240 The whole of the United States Navy is ready to 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:26.959 force the flats. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.880 Okay, I guess that means game on here. Here's the 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.680 good news of what's happening here. A couple of things. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.559 Just checking gas. The price of a barrel at oil 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.040 as we come on the air about eighty seven dollars. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.160 What is it now? Eighty seven dollars a barrel as 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.800 we come on the air. Nationwide gas prices have now 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.400 been declining over the last week. It's look, it's still 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.160 not where we want it to be. We want to 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.440 get to get it down to about sixty two, three, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.760 four or five dollars a barrel, which is where it 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.640 was before. But the rest of the media pretends not 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.200 to notice. Pump prices for unletted regular have fallen five 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.040 cents per gallon in the last week, from four dollars 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.600 sixteen cents a gallon to four dollars eleven cents a gallon. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.359 And don't forget under Joe Biden, it was over five 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.880 dollars a gallon. But that's neither here nor there. Everybody 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.400 wants gas price as low as possible. I want them 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.799 down as low as possible. And I'm just going to 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.280 go through how this is going to end. I keep 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.320 telling people right now, as far as I'm concerned is 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.080 the President is giving the Iranians a taste of what 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.079 is about to be the future of their economy. Wall 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.840 Street Journal had a piece today the Iranian economy is 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.679 now in crisis mode because of the President's blockade. With 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.200 the Rams oil fields now expected to shut down within 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:53.079 two weeks. The economic damage is immediate and it threatens 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.639 the regime if the longer this goes on. And this 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.000 is a preview of coming attractions, And as far as 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.960 the President is giving them a small sliver and taste 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.440 of what life is going to be light like if 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.040 he were to wipe out carg Island, the President at 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:14.240 any moment can wipe out the entire economy of the 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:19.400 Uranium regime. However, it's not gonna It's gonna take years 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:24.040 for them to even begin to think about recovering from 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.520 what the damage that could be done, and probably in 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.120 under an hour. Iran's regime has tried to make this 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.480 war all about economics that they're now getting their wish 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.760 because the US Navy now is quarantine Iranian ports, blocking 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.400 ships from entering or exiting the Straight of Horn moves. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.520 In spite of what you might be reading or hearing 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.080 on other channels, it's not true. Nobody's getting through. The 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.240 economic damage to the regime is immediate. The pain will 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.880 only grow the longer the blockade is sustained. Or if 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.880 the president kind of he's he's kind of given them 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.520 an opportunity to see the light and feel the pain 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.119 and then wake up and realize this is their their 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.840 permanent economy if they don't change, because he's not going 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.080 to stay there forever, and the President even said today 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.920 this war's coming to an end. He's not going to 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.920 stay there very long. The economic damage is real and 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.960 it could be permanent, and that's where their choice comes. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.039 In the best estimates we have from the Foundation for 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.880 Defense of Democracies, they estimate the blockade is expected to 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.840 wipe out four hundred and thirty five million dollars in 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:33.839 Iranian economic activity a day and force oil field shut 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.880 ins within two weeks. And if you look at economic 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.840 modeling at the war's current economic damage to Iran already 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.840 exceeds you know, forty percent of its it's pre war GDP. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.400 This relies on an International Monetary Fund estimate of six 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.240 point one percent Iranian economic contraction in twenty twenty six. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:05:00.000 But without oil, without exports, without surplus production, that means 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.280 means that Iran's oil storage capacity in about thirteen days 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.599 will be wiped out, and then Iram will have to 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.120 shut in their wells, which will cause severe damage. It 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.680 will cause them billions and billions in revenue. And they concluded, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.520 quote Iran's economic structure, heavily dependent on the Persian Gulf 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:25.360 transit routes and energy exports, makes continued resistance economically impossible. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:30.520 Under the US naval blockade, Iran's entire economy will feel 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.799 the collapse of oil exports. It is their entire economy 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.320 that includes, by the way, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.600 siphons about half the revenue. Other export routes appear unable 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.560 to compensate for the loss. So how will you know 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.560 Iran's economy, their banking a system, how will any of 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.039 it hold up. The loss of imports is expected to 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:59.120 deepen their supply shortages exacerbate their inflation, which some estimate 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.280 now up to the like one hundred percent. The currency 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.400 has lost more than ninety seven percent of its value 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.600 would also likely suffer without the foreign exchange coming in, 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.359 and Iran's regime knows all too well that this is 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:18.080 a threat to their survival. Now, common sense would dictate that, Okay, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.560 I got it. You win, we lose, Sure, we'll let 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.280 you have the sixty percent enriched uranium. Okay, We're going 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.760 to keep the straight or hor moves open and the 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.760 free flow of oil at market prices, which means our 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.359 oil gets to flow freely as well, and that is 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.080 again the foundation of their economy. That would be the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.599 common sense approach to this. The US has now declared 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.760 that Iran shipping has been completely halted. US military said 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.600 early today that it's blockade of Iranian ports has been 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.760 fully implemented, preventing all of the country's trade by sea. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:58.479 Sencom shared this statement from Commander Admiral brad Cooper Bradley 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.000 Cooper saying that Iran's sea trade has been completely stopped 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.719 by a blockade. An estimated ninety percent of Iran's economy 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.600 is fueled by international trade. By the Straight or Horror moves. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.680 In less than thirty six hours since the blockade was implemented, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.080 we've been able to completely stop their economic trade that's 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.640 going on. We basically have shut down their economy. And 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.160 I'm calling this a preview of coming attractions because again, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.560 probably in less than an hour, the president can wipe 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.200 out their economy. And the president, you know, to his credit, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.440 is showing great patience, especially when you think of the 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.120 arrogance of what happened in this meeting in Islamabad when 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.360 they came in saying that they want reparations, and they 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.960 want to control the straight or Horn moves, and they 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:49.840 they believe their inherent right to have nuclear weapons and 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.440 they're not going to give up the enriched uranium and 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.680 on and on and on, which was a non starter 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.160 from the get go. But I'll give you an example. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.960 In the year before RAN's a year before I RAN's 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:06.560 January uprising, the regime executed sixteen hundred people. This gets 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.240 to the whole issue of the pope. Maybe we'll get 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.160 into this with Bill O'Reilly. Today, we also have independent 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.320 journalists Nick Shirley will join a citizen journalist Nick Shirley 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.080 and Iranian authorities. By the way, I executed at least 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.800 sixteen hundred and thirty nine people in twenty twenty five, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.720 the highest number since nineteen eighty nine. According to two 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.600 international human rights groups, a woman, by the Way, the 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.040 first in a while, is expected to be killed. A 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.160 lot of people have brought up the issue and the 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:36.960 involvement potentially of China. The President said today in a 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.440 series of truth posts that China has agreed not to 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.920 send weapons to Iran, and mid reports that it plans 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.840 to give Tehran new air defense systems and new missile systems. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.920 But the president also claimed the president She's very happy 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.360 about the efforts to open the Straight of hor Moves 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:58.360 because that's where they get a majority of their oil from. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.520 And I'm sure any pressure from the China would be 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.640 helpful to the Chinese forget about helping us. But this 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.320 is a day after officials in China slam the blockade 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.160 is dangerous and irresponsible. Quite quote, China's very happy that 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.439 I am permanently opening the Straight Oh Horror Moves. I'm 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.040 doing it for them also and the world Trump said 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.800 on Truth Truth Social this situation will never happen again. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.240 They have agreed to not send weapons to Iran. China. Notably, 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.920 they get forty five to fifty percent of their crude 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.120 imports through the Straight Oh Horror Moose. That's over a 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.400 fifth of the world seaborne oil, you know, traverses that 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.880 the straight Oh Horror Moose has annually. They're getting a 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.640 big chunk of it that, like every other country, is 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.640 the lifeblood of their economy. And that's a big deal. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.440 And you know, this is now going to impact a 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.480 lot of different people. Now, other issues we can we 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.920 can talk about today, but this is this is where 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.960 we are. President Trump sees the uranium war his words, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.840 not mine. He says, I think it's it's close to 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.000 me over now. It's going to be over the hard 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.240 way or the easy way. That's the only question that 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.440 really remains. Because they don't have any cards. Remember when 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.320 the President famously said to Zelenski in the Oval office, 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.320 you don't have any cards. You don't have any leverage. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.080 We in this situation have all the leverage. And the 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.400 President outmaneuvered the Iranians. They thought they would be clever 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.720 and they thought they would say, well, no, we're taking 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.520 over the straight of horror moves. We're going to stop 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.600 the free flow of oil at market prices, and you 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.080 can't stop us. Okay. The only problem is right in 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.319 the middle of that straight of horror moves is something 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.320 called carg Island and that is the heart and soul 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:45.520 of their entire economy. So in that sense, the President again, 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.560 at any moment, could just wipe it out. Now, the 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:52.200 president's negotiating team was praised by nuclear experts for walking 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.400 away from the Pakistan talks. Let me, let me tell 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.080 you what's going on behind the scenes. The President himself 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.200 has pretty much take and over the negotiations. The President, 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.600 i am told by my sources, is dealing directly with 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.720 whoever these quote leaders are in Iran. And let's just 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.240 say the President is not being subtle. Let's just say 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.640 that when I heard the President speak today, it sounded 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.680 like he had a bit of laryngitis. That would tell me, 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.000 indicate to me, there's a possibility that he probably got 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.679 a little forceful on that phone call. On these phone 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.400 calls that he's having with these people, and he's laying 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.440 out in no certain terms as only Donald Trump would 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.360 or Donald Trump could what their options are because they're 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:44.520 out of options. The options are either you cooperate, make 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.280 a deal and survive, or I'm going to obliterate you. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.360 What is your choice here? There is no plan B. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.760 It's not like they can go retrieve the sixty percent 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.520 enriched uranium because we've got eyes on it number one 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.400 and is very deep underground. Now there will be an 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.560 extraction force that will include Americans and that will take 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.200 possession of it. Was certainly not going to give it 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.680 to the Iranians, but you know, we'll see how this got. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.040 I don't know why, Linda, I just have a sense 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.880 that the Iranians might realize they're boxed in at this point. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.040 I know, there's no reason for me to believe that 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.400 based on their prior behavior, because they've never given an 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:32.880 inclination that common sense would in any way take over 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.880 their thinking. They were warned before Israel. They were given 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.600 fifty days before Israel first attack them. They were given 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.800 plenty of notice before Midnight Hammer. They were given an 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.400 opportunity to negotiate before epic fury. You know, pretty much 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.920 everything of any value militarily, etc. Has been wiped out 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.240 from them. The one thing that remains is their ability 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:02.040 to have an income and an amy, and the president 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:06.480 is now disrupting that almost to one hundred percent of 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.640 what their economy is. And at that point, the presidents saying, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.680 I'll do it permanently if you force me now, even 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:19.120 though they've shown no inclination to common sense. But I mean, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.000 look at the regime we're dealing with here. You're dealing 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.560 with Islamo fascists. You're dealing with people that will strap 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.120 bombs on their own children and tell them to go 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.120 kill innocent men, women, and children, and that if you 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.280 do that, you're going to be rewarded by Allah in 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.560 heaven with seventy two virgins. You know, these are people 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.400 that have no qualms about killing their own people to 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:47.120 maintain power. This is an Aslamo fascist death cult regime. Now, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.600 I don't know why. I just think that the odds 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.960 of a negotiated settlement are up dramatically because of the 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.960 effectiveness of this blockade and the fact that this blockade 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:05.080 represents this preview of coming attractions for them. So we'll see. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.160 I think we will know, probably probably by the end 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.000 of the week. If I had to guess probably no 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.960 later the next week. Now, this is going to play 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.800 out a hard way or the easy way. You want 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:19.800 to make a prediction. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.800 Linda, I think that we won't know anything until he 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.680 meets with Ji and Beijing because China is there everything, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.200 and they're supplying them with everything they need and he 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.680 Ron is no friend to anybody. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.280 But Allah, it'll never it'll never get to that that 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.480 that time frame, because that's in May. No way I know, 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.320 but I don't know, Sean, Boss, I'll take that. Bet 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.040 you want to bet Boss, you want to talk about it? 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:43.680 I bet you. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.360 I bet you you're a silver palette pasta sauce. 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.400 We have a lot of other news we're going to 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.360 get to today. Also, we'll check in with all Things 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.120 Simple man O'Reilly Hill weigh in on the battle between 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:07.240 President Trump and the Pope. Also, a citizen journalist, Nick Shirley, 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.720 will join us. This poor kid has had death threats. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.960 This poor kid. You know, they now have out in 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:16.840 California to stop Nick Shirley. Act Stop stop an independent, young, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.840 ambitious journalist that exposes hundreds of millions in fraud. How 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.600 does that make any sense? It doesn't. And your call's 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.600 coming up eight hundred and nine four one Shawn as 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:26.000 a number. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:58.840 As we continue, you'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.680 This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.840 All right. So let me get to this issue of 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.040 what's happening and what's not happening because the fake news media, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.640 I don't know why they do it. They just can't 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:18.280 really help themselves. They're kind of trying to be reporting 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.680 that in fact, all these oil tankers are sneaking through 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.400 the not it just Sentcom is confirmed again and again. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:32.200 US destroyer destroyers have been interdicting oil tankers that try 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.560 to leave Iran with Iranian oil during this blockade. Since 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:41.800 the blockade has started. US destroyer interdicted to oil tankers 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.320 that were trying to leave Iran on Tuesday yesterday as 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.920 part of the blockade. The officials telling Reuters that the 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.840 ships left one of the ports in the Gulf of 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.480 Omam before being contacted by the US warship to radio communication. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.560 The official added that the tankers were among six vessels 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:05.000 at US Central Commands. Sencom said Tuesday obeyed orders from 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.040 American forces to turn around and head back to the 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.880 Iranian port in the Gulf of Oman more than ten 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.720 thousand US sailors, marines, airmen, along with over a dozen 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:19.880 warships dozens of aircraft are executing the mission to blockade ships. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.679 The Iranians can't make money. This is the heart and 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:28.880 soul of their economy and it's impacting them already. But anyway, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.000 US forces, you know, have been enforcing this successfully from 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.560 the get go. Venice whaling crewed imports, by the way, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:42.360 are helping to ease US fuel prices amid the war 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:47.119 Chevron just announced. For example, according to CBS News, the 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.560 Companies said of Global Refining of Chevron said the company 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.280 is running it's Mississippi refinery now at full capacity to 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.879 process enough crude and boost output. A tanker carrying foreigner 0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:03.760 thousand barrels of venezuela and crude will supply that refinery 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.520 for four days. The oil imports are helping both bring 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.879 revenue to Venezuela and helping Americans as well. I mean, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.679 it's working on all sides. But Sencom continues to confirm 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.240 that their guided missile destroyers are among the assets that 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.960 are part of this blockade. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:22.680 Now. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.280 The Sencom also did put some emphasis on the fact 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.840 that the flight operations aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.320 also in the Middle East. We knew that an air 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.879 wing plane captains signals during flight operations aboard the USS 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:43.560 Abraham Lincoln. According to Sencom, plane captains wearing brown shirts 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.199 and are responsible for the safety and the integrity of 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:51.040 the aircraft, including pre post light preparation. So you know, 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.600 it's basically all hands on deck, literally in the straight 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.199 of horror moves and Iran is weighing, you know, the 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.520 straight of horror moves shipping pause signaling de escalation. Now, 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.800 why would the Iranians, being so arrogant in Islamabad now 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.879 be talking about de escalation and an extension of the 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:14.720 ceasefire because they're realizing they're dead. You know. Producer prices, 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.040 by the way, declined in spite of the Ranium War. 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.840 The seasonally adjusted Producer Price Index, which is a measure 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.520 of inflation at the wholesale level, increase just a half 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.280 a percent for the month, according to the Bureau of 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.400 Labor Statistics. The increase was considerably less than the Dow 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:38.239 Jones con consensus estimate of more than double that. So 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.760 that's good news, but it's all this is going to 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.600 take time. Now, The question is how much time will 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.080 Donald Trump give them? How much time would it take 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.840 for whoever is in charge this fourth fifthier level of 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.600 leadership that has emerged out of Iran. How long will 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.680 it take them to wise up and realize that they 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.359 can't win at this point and that Donald Trump in 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:05.119 an hour can wipe them out completely. Now, it is 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.880 pretty funny the President's post about President She. I am 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:14.280 not concerned about China, and I think the President when 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.679 he says that he warned China against supplying weapons to Iran, 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.040 I think he means it. He said that he sent 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.479 a letter to President she and President She responded to 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.840 the letter that he wrote because he had heard that 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.160 China was trying to give weapons to the Iranians, and 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.040 he said, you're seeing it all over the place. He said, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.720 I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.200 He wrote me a letter saying that he's not doing that. 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.920 In this interview with Maria Barturomo, you know, he said 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.520 he threatened countries with an immediate fifty percent tariff if 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.680 they supply the Iranians with anything. And then the President 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.120 went on and said, China's very happy that I'm permanently 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.159 opening the strait of her moves. And we also have 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:58.200 mind sweepers that have been clearing out any remaining minds 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.720 that the Iranians had placed there. Apparently they're saying they 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.520 don't even remember where they put them. There's going to 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:09.160 be a reckoning with NATO. I don't know what form 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:13.760 it's going to take on. I can see anything. I 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:18.960 can see a reconfiguration of our alliances, but not NATO 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.399 in its current form. I don't see how the US 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.040 could ever be in a defense agreement with Spain. Ever. Again, 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:33.920 I don't see how we reconcile with McCrone and his government. 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.800 I'm not even sure now. I know King Charles and 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.399 Queen and Camilla are coming to the White House for 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.080 a state dinner, but I'm not really sure how we 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:50.080 reconcile with Neville, Chamberlain, Starmer when it comes to our 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:54.359 relationship with Great Britain. And I'm not really sure what 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.920 this means for the future of NATO. And I don't 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.840 really think it matters to us, if anything, the monies 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.479 that we've been spending the two thirds of the budget 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:07.560 that we pay for NATO defense, which is really European defense, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.560 and then in our moment fighting the number one state 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.640 sponsor a terror. They couldn't send a ship to help, 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.800 you know, keep the straight o Hormuz open, which we 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.040 really didn't even need. And the President said he was 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:25.320 pretty much testing NATO and they failed spectacularly. But I'm 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.439 not I don't see any scenario where NATO can survive 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.000 in its current configuration. I just don't see it. Now. 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:36.600 The President has been battling the Prime Minister of Italy, 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:43.240 Georgia Maloney, and Maloney confirmed Italy suspended its defense cooperation 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:47.000 agreement with Israel a mid Middle East tensions. All right, 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:52.240 if they if they want to somehow appease radical Islamist 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.040 they can do that. I mean, this is one of 0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:01.439 the major issues causing massive decline in on the continent 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.800 of Europe in the first place, and that is unfettered 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:10.160 illegal immigration without assimilation. And again that's resulted in Sharia 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.800 courts in Great Britain, that's resulted in no go zones 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.280 and Donald Trump blasting every one of these so called 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.479 NATO allies. And France, by the way, should be as 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.600 far away as possible from Lebanon peace talks, according to 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:29.159 the Israeli ambassador, because they're more inclined to support his ballah, 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:33.720 which is unbelievable. We're going to get into today the 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:39.480 latest on now he's I guess he's been accused of 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.800 being a rapist, accused of being a serial rapist. There's 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:46.959 multiple allegations of rape against mister Fang Fang Eric Swalwell. 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:51.440 Get this though, he apparently will get to keeplind. This 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:53.719 is going to drive you up a wall. He's going 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.800 to get to keep his government pension in other congressional perks. 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.920 I'm not sure if you saw that today. Swalwell will 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:04.919 remain eligible for his pension other benefits despite his resignation. 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.160 This has got to stop. If somebody has to resign 0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.600 over an issue and an accusation as severe as rape, 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.040 why do they get to keep their pension? 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:14.960 You know? 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.040 For so many years, and we'll get into this later 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:20.280 in the program today, for so many years there have 0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:26.280 been now I sometimes you just don't know, like for example, 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:32.000 I guarantee and this came up during the issue of 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:35.600
