Did 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.560 Liam have a good take your your children to work 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.400 day yesterday? Linda had it? 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.079 Yeah. I hope you're looking for another child so you 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:19.760 can adopt him and you can take him next year 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:20.840 because you're the fan favorite. 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.759 I'd love to you gotta be would love. I hate 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.400 to tell you he shows up in the Free State 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.400 of Florida where I live. He ain't going home. Oh, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.600 he's not going back. He's not gonna want. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.680 To Let me tell you something in this school drop. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.880 Off spot in the middle of winter. 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.680 I'm telling you right now. We were in the school 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.640 drop offline this morning. True story. Looks at me, he goes, 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.839 I gotta tell you, mom, I'm not on board with this. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:40.120 I look. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.560 I'm like, what are you not on board with? He goes. 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.120 I thought we were a good team yesterday. I think 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.680 you should just take me to work again today. Let's 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.280 just take me with you. I'm like, are you for real? 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.200 This kid? I'm get out of the car, go to school. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:48.760 Learn something. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.800 All right, what is the real fallout? Because I got 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.440 some intel that you had a very difficult time all 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.280 throughout the night last night because of the discussion that 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.640 I had with your son on this program yesterday. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.280 Yes, suddenly he's deprived. 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.520 He's very form the audience. What Liam was saying to you. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.880 He was hysterical because we got done. He goes, you know, 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.840 I should get more pizza. Schwan's right, I should get 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.400 more pizza. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.920 And uh, you know, Sean got him pizza yesterday, real pizza. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.200 Yes, and he had chicken fingers he had now he 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.840 did not have Chick fil A waffle fries yesterday, although 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.759 he did want them, and then he thought, well, maybe 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.200 we'll get some on our way home. And since we 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.480 were in traffic for eight hundred hours, I probably should have. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.479 But it was a sterical He was like, I should 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.000 get more of this, and he's right, I should do 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.520 more of that. I'm like, no, he is not right. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.399 We are doing air fry fries and we are making 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.760 homemade pizza because it is a bonding experience. But clearly 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:39.919 the bonding is not as. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.640 Uh So, obviously, if Liam was free and didn't live 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.800 in your prison of radicalism when it comes to food, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.080 and if he had his choice, I was more right 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.720 than you were. While I mentioned McDonald's fries versus your 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.000 air fried French fries, he turns out he would prefer 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.800 French fries that were cooked in oil because he wanted 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.760 waffle fries. It just so happens it's from Chick fil A, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.480 which he prefers over McDonald's, which, by the way, everyone 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.799 is entitled to their preference. I didn't even know that 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.919 you ever gave him a waffle fry. I'm sure he's 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.760 only had it once or twice in his life. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.079 I will tell you you're a little bit twenty dude 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.239 in your analysis here. You're a little bit off the mark, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:21.480 just a little bit off. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.720 Wouldn't give it the choice. Given the choice he wants, No, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.799 the French fries that are cooked in oil. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.440 No, what he said was now, I was been here 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.400 for the interrogation. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.880 And waffle fries, he said. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.120 He said, if you had to do takeout, that he 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.360 would want waffle fries. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.440 No, no, no, no, there was no caveat about takeout. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.160 You are depriving this kid. And if it wasn't for 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.640 Uncle Sean, he would not have had the pizza that 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.720 he had yesterday that he really loved and was so 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.160 grateful for, and he said, why don't we get more pizza? Mom? 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.720 Did he or did he not say that? 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.079 Yes? I mean, I tell you he's just the homemade meals, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.680 you know, with a protein and a vegetable on a start. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.560 Mom, I want more. I want more oil cooked fries. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.480 Momm did you not say that to you? 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.760 Well, I don't know that he used exactly that, but 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:09.920 I will tell you. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.079 And Uncle Sean is right about everything and you're wrong. Mom. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.760 This is fake news obviously a little bit. But yes, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.200 I was wrong about a lot last night, There's no question. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.760 And how long did this little discussion go on after. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.960 The job, Well, we were in traffic for three hours 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.200 getting home, so it was quite a while. Then he 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.919 fell asleep. He was like, all right, I'm done. It's 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:28.560 pretty funny. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.400 All right, Happy Friday. I have a different perspective that 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.120 I want to share with a lot of you today 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.720 regarding I think I really have figured something out that 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.720 maybe the President really telegraphed yesterday and I didn't realize. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.400 And this goes back to my conversation that I had 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.480 with him earlier this week when he said to me, 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.320 I can bomb him any time I want. That's not 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.800 going to be a problem. And I can knock all 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.400 of this out anytime that I want. And of course 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.160 you have number one, you have a problem with the 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.680 Uranians can't even communicate with the other because none of 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520 them dare pick up a cell phone. Number one, number two, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.200 who is actually in charge? That is a real problem. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:13.800 But however, the President's giving every indication that the blockade 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.599 has been so effective. Not a single ship has gotten 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.479 through in spite of there was a report by the 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.800 fake news media. This is the one where Chris Murphy 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.880 from Connecticut said, oh awesome, twenty six ships have slipped 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.599 through the blockade. That was fake news. It wasn't true. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.400 As we come on the air twelve Pacific, three Eastern today, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.800 the US Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff Jared Kushner. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:43.080 They are traveling to Pakistan for negotiations with the Iranian 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:49.200 Foreign Minister, are a Gachi two US official telling Axios, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.200 I would assume by this point that the Iranians got 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.800 the message they need a unified response to what the 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.080 President has proposed to them. In the end, it's going 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.440 to have to be no nukes, give up the dust, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.720 open the strait, join the free world, or get obliterated. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.560 And that's going to be pretty much their choice. They 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.120 have no cards to play, and that's why the President 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.960 extended the ceasefire. But anyway, they're expected to arrive in 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:19.840 Islamabad late tonight for these talks, and also the Foreign 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.320 Minister will be there, the Field Marshall will be there. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.520 In Pakistan, the Prime Minister will also be there, and 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.920 Pakistani official telling Axios the meeting with Aragachi will focus 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.039 on relaunching negotiations and a trilateral meeting will take place. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.880 Vice President Vans, who led the US negotiating team previous rounds, 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.760 did not make the trip because his counterpart, the Speaker 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.320 of the Parliament, won't travel in this particular case. I 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.039 don't know if you should read the tea leaves into 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.000 that or not. The Pentagon now considering suspending Spain from 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.799 NATO for trying to block America's initial attack on Iran. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.839 I think this is the beginning of NATO decline, which 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.560 we have spent a lot of time talking about. Most 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.839 of Europe, most of NATO. They have allowed their individual countries. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.760 They have allowed the continent of Europe to disintegrate right 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.840 before our very eyes. They have not at all kept 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.240 up with their national security needs, the national defense nor 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.039 the defense of NATO in general. We pay two thirds 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.360 of the bill, and they could didn't have the moral 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.520 clarity to stand up against radical Islamic terrorism. It's crazy. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.000 Before I get to my theory where the president is 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.480 on this, I just want to just give a little more, 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:40.200 you know, information on where he is standing. By the way, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.200 the President's funny the Southern Poverty Loss Center paid that 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.640 seventy grand to the leader of the American Nazi Party. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.280 Did you read that, Linda, Oh my gosh, they were 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.200 paying money to all of this. I mean, you can't 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.880 even make this stuff up. Former KKK member Arian Nations director, 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.520 the same man they have listed as an extremist on 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.560 their own website. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.560 It's crazy. They are the problem and the solution all 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:06.240 at the same time. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.839 Problem. Well, I think they did it to create a 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.080 false notion. It's what It's crazy what they're doing anyway, 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.320 But I digress for a second here. So here's where 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.320 we stand at this moment, and I think that this 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.840 may be more deep and more profound than people have 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.120 actually given the President credit for. And I think this 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.640 is why the President was saying in detail yesterday that 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.800 time is on his side. The President's not in a rush. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 Why are you going in this? What are you which, 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.800 by the way, is a fair question. I understand what 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.120 people are saying, and he definitely is going to stick 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.160 by his This is not going to be a forever war. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.320 What he told me specifically was I could make that 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.000 decision and it'll be over in fifteen minutes. But apparently 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:53.600 this blockade has been way more impactful in the Iranian 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:59.160 economy than anybody knew. US economic pressure on Iran now 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.720 has reached one of its most powerful points in decades. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:10.280 And now the enforcement by the naval blockade that we 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:15.160 put in place, they're losing serious money, four to five 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.880 hundred million dollars a day. And as Scott Besson pointed out, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.960 and I read his tweet on the air as his 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.560 ex post on the air the other day saying that 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.800 they're not going to have any storage. I don't know 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.600 how much most people know about oil production, but when 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.640 you strike a well and you're producing oil, you have 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.640 to keep producing if you want to get the maximum 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.000 amount of oil if you have to shut that down, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.280 meaning the Iranians don't have any more storage capability at 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.280 that point. The odds of you ever getting back to 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.520 the same level of production where you were are negligible. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.600 At best. You're hoping for maybe fifty to sixty percent 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.959 of what you otherwise were producing on a daily base. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.840 I'm not a landman. I don't know enough about it. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.520 If somebody wants to call it in, tell me and 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.520 educate me. I'm really interested in hearing more about it. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.560 I have researched it. But anyway, so what the President 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:17.320 has done here is we've never had the level of 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.679 leverage that we now have just because of the economic 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.480 pressures that the President has put on a ran and 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.640 how effective. Far more effective than I think anybody knew 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.160 this blockade would ultimately be. I mean, all the media 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.360 wants to focus in on is they've got a little 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.560 a gunboat and they're dropping mines. Whether they are or aren't, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.960 I don't know, because I don't trust the fake news industry. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:48.800 But the President by escalating this pressure and saying that 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.079 we have total control over the straight or horn moves 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.479 and that it's healed up tight, and that the Iranians 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.480 can't sell any oil and nobody can get their tankers 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.000 filled and get out of there. That means that there's 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.920 no place to put the oil, which means that probably 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.319 within the next week that those oil wells are all 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.800 going to be backed up and have to be shut down. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.200 There's no place to put it. In other words, they're 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.400 running out of oil storage in what we think will 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:21.160 be a maximum of three weeks, but probably likely next week, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.240 which then forces production cuts, while gasoline shortages then hit 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.800 on a similar timeline because of now they're going to 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.160 be relying on imports, but they can't even get it 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.560 into their country, combined with the amount of money they're 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.640 losing on a daily basis, and it's ninety percent of 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.880 the economy. And at the core of this pressure is 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:47.440 this is it. This is their economy right now. Their 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.240 currency is worth zero right now, their inflation rate is 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:54.600 two hundred percent right now, they are bringing in no money, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.120 and half their workforce is now out of work, and 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.080 pretty soon they're not even going to be able to 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:05.240 pay the IRGC forces either reigning Revolutionary Guard forces and 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.959 not going to be able to pay them, which means 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:13.199 that this may be so effective that Irans with a 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:18.480 RAN's economy can drive them back to the negotiating table. Now, 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.400 why is the president sensitive? Why was it? Because I've 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.679 gotten the question from a lot of people. Why doesn't 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:28.040 the president just wipe out carguideland why doesn't the president 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.360 just follow up and wipe out their bridges, their infrastructure, 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.560 their power plants. As he told me this week he 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.640 could do that. I said, I said, I know, an 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.160 under an hour, two hours, he goes, No, probably under 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:45.520 five minutes. That's how quickly he can do it. But 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.960 a RAN's economy relies on the straight of horror moves 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.240 more than any other economy. And yeah, there are other 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.800 countries and continents, Asia, Japan, South Korea, India, China are 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.760 most exposed to the disruption, and many have built up reserves. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.920 In Japan's oil reserve is pretty significant, the same with China. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.880 But still the region remains heavily dependent on the water 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.720 waterway of the street of hormones. Now, if in fact 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.640 this does, if this does bankrupt them, now, they have 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:24.600 no capacity to even even get whatever remaining tier of 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:29.520 leadership exists. I mean, we're kind of like we're the 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.400 walls are closing in on them, and the pressure is 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.880 all on them, which is what the President was trying 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.480 to communicate to the stupid media yesterday that had just asked, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.520 are you thinking of nuking them? Did you hear that 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:47.400 dumb question? They're so stupid. But anyway, the imports between 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.240 thirty to sixty million leaders of gasoline a day to 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.560 cover domestic shortfall of thirty five million leaders. They run 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.000 out of gasoline, they're going to have a major crisis domestically. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.679 If their workforce has no work, those people then will 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.280 become desperate. They'll have nothing to lose. The economic pressure, 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:09.160 the idea that one country is so reliant on one 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.680 industry but their entire economy this economic choke hold. I mean, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.280 we put them, if to use an mma analogy, we 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.280 put them in a submission hold at this point. Now, 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.640 either they're gonna tap out or they're gonna pass out. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.559 See if you get somebody in a choke hold, uh, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.520 and you are in the right spot and you lock 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.440 it down, they're either gonna tap or they're gonna they're 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.960 gonna pass out. It seems to be the most fitting 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.439 analogy here. You know, the guy that played the central 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.920 role in the Treasury department sanctioned campaigns against Iran and 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.040 its network set in an on camera interview that the 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.720 current moment reflects a rare convergence of economic, political, and 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.959 diplomatic leverage. He says, we've never had this level of 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.000 leverage that we have today with the Ran and the 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.240 history of our conflict since nineteen nine. And when the 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.640 President said the blockade scares them even more than the bombing, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.200 that's what the President is saying. And when the President 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.720 orders the US Navy to triple their mind sweeping operations 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.960 in the straightah Hor moves, he's also thinking about the 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:20.560 impact of the ninety plus million people in Iran so 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.240 he can achieve all of his goals. And what he's 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.280 doing by waiting is hoping that he doesn't have to 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.360 disrupt life in such a dramatic fashion for all the 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.960 people that have been frankly oppressed for forty seven years. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.760 You might not like that goal, but to give that 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.240 a little bit of time makes a lot of sense 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.880 to me, especially in light of how effective the blockade 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.160 has been. Eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn is our number. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.080 If you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:55.440 The economic side of this is pretty amazing. I don't 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.960 know what the Iranians are going to do. I don't 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.080 know if they know what they're going to do. I 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.680 will tell you this, if we break them economically, I 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:08.240 don't think the regimes, you know, radicals can survive if 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.960 you can't pay your Let me tell you one thing 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:16.160 that will break down radicalism very very quickly, very quickly, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.800 is when you stop paying your military. The people that 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.160 get paid the most inside of Iran, they're not sharing 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.440 the four hundred five hundred million dollars a day in 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.720 oil revenues. Nobody is not being shared with the people 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:33.160 in Iran. They have been impressed. They have been beaten down. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.360 They have been If they don't dress a certain way, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.640 they get beaten. If they really dress outrageously, they get killed. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.240 If you gay, lesbian, you get killed. If you say 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.480 anything against the regime, you get killed. They have they've 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.840 been impressed. And this is ninety plus million people. And 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:56.680 the Persian people have a great, rich history that is incredible. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.280 It would be great to be able to restore that 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.480 be great if they had an economy to begin with. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.000 That's why the military option is on the table. And 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.520 the President has been very clear, even said it again yesterday. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.840 If they don't want to make a deal, I will 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.360 finish this up militarily. He says. They've accomplished seventy five 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.160 percent of what they set out to do within the 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:23.480 first four weeks, and now the next part is going 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.760 to be the part that destroys them completely. They've destroyed 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.360 the military targets and most of them. Now they can 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.840 destroy the economic targets and the infrastructure targets and when 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.800 they have no money, and again we're already seeing signs 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.880 that this blockade was far more effective than I think 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.240 anybody had imagined. Well, Hannity, we need to get the 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.880 free flow of oil at market prices. I understand that, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.720 But I understand that stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.680 knowing they have ballistic missiles that can reach Paris and London, 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.160 that's that's a little bit more important and more of 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.400 a clear and present danger. And the President is right 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.800 about the power struggle. And we'll see what happens as 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.480 Steve Witkoff, We'll see what happens as Jared Kushner. Now 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.800 go back to Islamabad and they'll have another meeting, hopefully 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:15.160 with the more united Iranian message. The Iranian president delivered 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.280 a speech during an inspection visit to the Ministry of 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.280 Sports and Youth in Tehran, and he responded to President 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.720 Trump and said that their country's hardline and moderate has 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.520 hardline and moderate leaders, and that they're fighting with each other. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.520 And he said, in Iran, there are no radicals, there 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.520 are no moderates. This was written on x we are 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:40.440 all Iranian and revolutionary and with the iron unity of 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.439 the nation and government, complete obedience to the Supreme Leader 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:49.560 of the revolution will make the aggressor criminal regret his actions. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.040 By the way, that same message was put out simultaneously, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.199 within sixty seconds, exact same message by the head of 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.800 the Iranian Parliament. What does that mean? That the leaders 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.000 are not in control of the social media, That's what 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.439 that means. So the you know, that's pretty much the 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.199 news from Lake Wobegon as it relates to Iran. The 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.600 Supreme Leader, we have an update on him. This is 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.879 how Many's son, how many. His face is so disfigured 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.560 he will need plastic surgery. Just talk about him needing prosthetics. 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.679 He's never been seen. You know. They put out remarks 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:32.000 in his name. Nobody nobody believes that it's from him. Uh. 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.480 The critical missile stockpiles and are are pretty much wiped out. 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.160 US forces fired more than eight hundred and fifty Tomahawks. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:45.440 I mean, this campaign has been devastating. USS carrier strike 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.960 group in the Middle East. Linda, how many are these? 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.879 But these sailors and marines, how many eggs do you 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.320 think they eat a day? 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:55.680 Oh? 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.840 My god, I ate a lot of it. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.040 I can't even imagine. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:18:59.560 Take a guess. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.520 Oh god, three hundred eggs. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:10.520 Three hundred eggs a day? Right, No, you're not right. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.120 We're talking about we have three aircraft carriers there. How 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.600 many eggs to feed all those guys? 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:19.159 I don't know. 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:21.760 We'll take our guess. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.560 I just did you liughed at me. You're embarrassing me. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:26.840 I'm afraid to answer now. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.159 All right, they eat more than twelve the thousand eggs 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:30.720 a day. 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.240 Oh dang, I was way off. Okay, you can embarrass 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:34.199 me for them. That's pretty bad. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.760 All right, that's pretty bad. Hey, I don't think you 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.960 were thinking about it the way I was asking the question. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.360 I'll definitely give you a lifeline, thank you. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.520 Can I call a friend. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.439 Call a friend, call, give a call. I'll give a 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.159 shout out to a friend. The Israeli Defense Minister Israel 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.359 cats I said during a security assessment that Israel is 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.000 waiting for the green light to resume the fighting, and 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.000 they're prepared to renew their war immediately. Israel is awaiting 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.560 the green light. One interesting side note, I'm not sure 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.560 what to make of it or profession make anything out 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:11.720 of it, but apparently the Trump led Israel Lebanon ceasefire 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:16.080 has been extended by three weeks after those initial meetings 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.560 took place. The problem that I have with the Lebanon 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.359 question is kind of the same problem I have with 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.000 the Hamas question, is that the Lebanese army has never 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.960 been capable of controlling Hazballah, and they've not been able to. 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:35.200 I don't know if they can defeat them militarily. There 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:39.760 was one surprise, and I saw BB. I had met 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.919 with him when he was in Florida for a meeting 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.680 with President Trump, and I didn't have time with him 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.680 alone and met with him. I've known him over thirty years, 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:56.800 and he didn't. He looked great to me. Apparently he 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.320 had picked up that he had early stage prostay can answer, 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.919 and during this whole conflict he was treated successfully, but 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:09.240 he never told anybody. Unbelievable. The Israelis are so tough. 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.200 What this little country of nine million people can do 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:18.600 is unbelievable. They just wipe everybody out. I mean, just 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.399 think of the military intelligence that goes into all of this. 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:28.200 Pretty impressive. The Pentagon now considering suspending Spain from NATO 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:32.960 for trying to block America's initial attack on Iran. I 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.119 told you, and I've been telling you, it's only a 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.440 matter of time that it's going to be reconfigured. The 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:44.480 NATO Alliance Europe is in a state of deterioration. They're 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.000 disintegrating and have been for decades, right before our eyes. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:54.200 They have ignored and neglected national security issues, defense issues 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.359 they as individual countries collectively as a continent, they've not 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.800 met there were responsibilities in an ever growing dangerous world, 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.440 and it's the we're now paying the price. This is 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.400
