It's like I got nothing left, I 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:06.720 got no room. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.280 No you do. You have no privacy if you think 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.440 you can duck and hide and dodge and avoid me. 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.600 You know, when I don't even know where you are 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.160 in Florida. I have no idea where you are. Is 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.560 it anywhere near where I live? 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.840 Actually I have I have to give props to where 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.920 I'm at because I am at our I'm at our 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.280 affiliate here in West Palm Beach, and they are Brian. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.000 Mudd is the Brian MUD's the best. We love him. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.039 He's so amazing. And the Jason and Franny Show is 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.560 allowing me. Jason is allowing me to sit in in 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.920 his studio, and they're just the nicest people, and they're 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.759 so kind, and I am just so grateful to be here. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.119 Every time I am so like, I got to give 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.920 mad props to them. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.919 Now, you know what I mean. We have all these affiliates. 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.600 They've been so loyal to us. They do so well, 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.960 they work so hard for their communities. They're putting on 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.880 great radio every single day, and I'm proud to be 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.760 a part of it. To be very honest, same, I 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.680 want to start with the midterms, and I want to 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.560 start with some hope because I know that there are 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.480 a lot of people out there. First of all, usually 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.160 just so you know, just so you have perspective, which 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.360 I think is always important in life. People don't begin 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:24.000 to focus on midterm elections usually until after Labor Day. Now, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.000 Labor Day is going to be here quick, and we've 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.280 got a pretty exciting summer coming. We're going to be 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.760 on the road quite a bit for America's two hundred 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.480 and fiftieth, which I'm really excited about. The places we're going, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.399 I'm not going to reveal it yet today, but places 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.280 that will be really really cool, events that will be 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.680 really really cool, and I hope, I hope a lot 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.600 of you will take the time to take this celebration in. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.600 You know, we have AFP being Americans for Prosperity joining 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.000 with us asking everyone to read the declaration. I don't know. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.120 I think the best moments of my life, to be blunt, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:08.520 are either when you're knocked down on your knees, you know, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.920 I there's something amazing that God does when when you're 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.359 at your lowest point in life. It's like what Taylor 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.200 Colwell's like, one of my favorite novelists of all time, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.680 wrote a book Bright Flows the River, and it starts 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.160 with a line in the dark night of the soul, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.960 Bright flows the River of God, when when when you 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.720 have those moments and you are knocked down on your 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.960 knees and you're like, I've got nothing left God, that 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.160 is that? That that to me is a great moment 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.760 in life. Or you know, we're all so busy and 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.880 all of you, all of you know what I'm about 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.640 to tell you is true. You don't wake up in 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.920 the morning and say, ah, I live in the United 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.240 States of America. I get to open my eyes, let 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.520 me go make my cup of coffee. I have one 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.360 friend in life, one that says his favorite day of 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.840 the weekest favorite moment of the week is when he 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.240 gets to open his eyes on Monday morning so he 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.840 can go to work. I love what I do, but 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.520 the second my eyes open on Monday, I'm like, can 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.720 I sleep another ten minutes before I'm ready to get 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.359 up and get a cup of coffee, get go and 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.840 work out, do my thing. And you know, but I 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.240 don't think God has designed it that we have to 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.640 do that way. Now, we should meditate in all things, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.640 all times, the Bible says, but it just doesn't happen 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.560 for most of us. Probably should happen a lot more. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.000 We should be more reflective appreciative. I think gratitude is 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.760 one of the greatest qualities to have in life. And 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.800 I say, all this is you usually get up and okay, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.839 we're all grinding. Life is not supposed to be easy, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.599 you know, it's it's hard and everybody. And I think 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.640 that's the beauty of freedom. Is if you work hard 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.559 and you put in the effort and you push through, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.560 and you push yourself and you stretch yourself and you 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.400 grow yourself, then you can be successful beyond your wildest dreams. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.120 This is what goes against the entire midterm narrative of 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.440 the Democrats. Oh you're a billionaire. You didn't earn that. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.800 I don't know a billionaire. I've known plenty. I've met 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.080 plenty of billionaires in my life. Linda in Florida. I 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.719 never thought i'd meet so many of them, and so 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.560 many are fans of my show. There's a lot of them. Yeah, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.720 and they're all coming from the Blue state, by the way. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.720 And I don't like all of it a lot. Yeah, 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.520 I don't like all of them. I like some of them. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.119 Some of them I didn't think were particularly nice. Something 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.640 one in particular, I thought it was just arrogant as hell, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.240 and I'm like, wow, maybe you need a little dose 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.000 of humility with the blessings you've had in your life. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.080 Well, you also have to give them a little bit 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.559 of grace because it's very possible that they've been living 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.760 in the land of lunacy and liberals for so long 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.400 they don't know what it is to be nice. So 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.240 they have to learn, they have to relearn, you know, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:57.799 common they live in Florida. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.800 It's not the land of lunacy, that's New York. Whether 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.520 the next or whether the next lea. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.560 They came from those places. 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.800 How long has he been in Florida? I'm now three 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.520 years in Florida. Can you believe it? By the way, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.279 I talked about it for how many years? Oh this 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.640 guy has been here for decades? 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.640 Oh, I forget about it. Then we don't give him 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:16.600 a past. Okay, moving on. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.240 But most of them are just the opposite, to be 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.000 very fair. And I hear the stories of the most 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.560 humble beginnings of people, I mean nothing, people that started 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.560 with nothing. It's like my four grandparents from I started 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.880 with nothing from Ireland legally, by the way, and I 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.200 think my parents grew up poor with nothing, struggled their 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.200 whole life. College wasn't an option. You know, fighting in 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.240 World War two in the Pacific for four years is 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.360 not an option for my dad. And you know that's 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.240 why when I say I know and appreciate, I stand 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.000 on other people's shoulders. But to finish the thought, you 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.719 don't wake up and say, live in the United States, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.880 so lucky today. Let me let me on this day 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.000 with passion and vigor, et cetera. It's not how people 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.400 it's not how most people roll. And you're gonna get 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.280 up and now the obligations come fast and furious. If 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.320 you have kids, you're gonna get those kids up. You 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.120 gotta get them washed, you gotta get them dressed. They 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.640 got to brush their teeth, they got to get their 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.920 book bag, they got to bring all this stuff to school. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.480 And you got to get them out the door. Either 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.760 you give money, they get a pack lunch, whatever you 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.960 happen to do, and then you're gonna, you know, race 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.360 off to work, put in your twelve fourteen hours. I 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.360 don't know anyone that works eight hours anymore, but I 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.680 guess there's some people that work very little, but they're 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.480 good luck to them. And then they're gonna they're gonna 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.120 come home and they're gonna what are they gonna do. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.280 They're gonna catch up with their kids, make sure they're 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.280 doing the homework, make sure they get fed, help them 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.280 if they need help, get them a bedtime story, crawl 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:53.360 into bed, hopefully, watch Hannity, and fall asleep after whenever 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.360 you feel like it, and you know, you just you 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.760 just don't get up with that great excitement. However, in 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.880 your reflective moment once it's different when you get still 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:08.360 and quiet and grateful and humble and you realize how 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.880 blessed you are. You know, look at all the news 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.760 we've been following in the Middle East. I mean, would 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.440 you like to grow up in any country in the 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.640 Middle East? Even Israel? And I've been there many many times. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.720 When I went to that border city star route and 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.120 they got hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years, 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.600 I ask people, why do you stay here? Their kids 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:38.280 can't play outside, They play in underground bunker playgrounds because 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.079 there's twelve seconds between the time that rockets fired from Gaza, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.520 which you can see with the naked eye, to their town. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.640 Ten thousand rockets one town ten years. That was like 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:52.720 twenty fifteen or sixteen. We were there last so and 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.400 then you realize, Wow, this is a great country. And 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.720 that's what I'm saying about the midterms. You know, you 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:05.440 are going to hear the Democrats. They will demagogue, They're 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.920 going to Jim Crow two point zero. They are doing 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.480 something I never thought they'd do, and that is go 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.880 so hardcore radical left. There are many factors that I 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.720 am telling you that nobody at this moment can accurately 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.960 reflect on how this midterm is going to turn out. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.400 My only ask for all of you in this audience, 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.320 because your votes will matter, is that you commit in 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.360 your mind, your heart, and your soul that you don't 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.120 want the country to go backwards. And I've got some 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.240 good news in terms of why you should be hopeful 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.240 and optimistic. You know, we're looking at numbers. For example, 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:46.160 two hundred and twenty nine thousand plus voters the GOP 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:51.880 gained over Democrats just since twenty twenty four alone. Democrats 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.040 lost two hundred and seventy five thousand voters across twenty 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.800 eight swing districts since November twenty fourth. That's an average 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.320 of ten thousand perdition. You know, Democrats lost registration share 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.880 in twenty seven out of those twenty eight districts, every 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:12.120 district shifted toward the GOP since twenty twenty. Totally, nearly 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.559 seven hundred and thirty seven thousand voters gained relative to Democrats. 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.840 Now that's a big deal. You know, this Supreme Court 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.400 racial jerrymanderin case, the Supreme Court of Florida just upheld 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.760 the new redistricting map in Florida that gives Republicans potentially 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.160 four more seats in Florida and more seats in Texas 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.920 and more seats in other states. I wish Indiana would 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.800 would have done something right. But putting that aside, then 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.200 you look at you know, Abigail Spamberger. You know, she 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.360 tried her little power grab and it failed, thank goodness. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:51.400 But you know, I am not seating any ground now. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.600 And I'll add this point. I don't even think the 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.680 issues that we will reflect on after the midterm have 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.480 fully happened. Yet. You know, we're at a pretty sensitive 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.679 point with Iran has been strikes two days in a row, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.040 the President hinting that we might be close to a deal, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.760 and he's it doesn't look like a strike today, but 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.520 now he's willing to go back striking. Is that enough 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.640 to get their attention? I don't know. The sooner this 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.880 comes to an end, the better the more focus dialed 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.160 in we get on the economy, I think, the better 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.040 the quicker energy prices come down. I think, although the 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.160 price of a barrel of oil. When the President announced 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:35.079 yesterday he had taken out stealthily one hundred million barrels 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.000 of oil, I thought that was pretty spectacular. But anyway, 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.840 so if you look at this after the final redistricting 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.720 of the year in Louisiana, Alabama, and now Florida with 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.720 a court decision yesterday, Republicans are getting an edge in 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.320 safe seats for the midterms two hundred and eleven to 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.640 two hundred and five. I mean, that is pretty amazing 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:04.240 considering historically the party in power historically tends to lose 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.120 seats in the midterm. How do I feel about our 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.680 odds for holding the Senate, which I think is critical. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.320 I feel fairly confident. The fact that Democrats are going 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.640 with Graham Platner, mister Nazi tattoo and every other controversy 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.840 involving him and his voters are stupid and racist and 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.120 main according to him, and cops are all bastards, and 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:31.200 he's on these weirdo you know sites with young girls 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.840 on there. Apparently won't release the messages, and he was 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.560 there I think until last Monday. According to one report, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.040 he won't release those messages, and John Fetterman said he'd 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.720 give up his hoodie if he does release them. I 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.880 don't think he's going to release them, And how does 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.400 he know who he's talking to? Anyway? Put that aside, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.800 and you got six gender tell a Rico that lunatic 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.800 and God is non binary, and a welcome mat at 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.880 the Southern border, and a vegan campaign that he's running 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.000 and it doesn't not into oil, okay with men playing 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920 women's sports. Then you got Al Saied, you know, in 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:14.800 Michigan campaigning with Hassan Piker. America deserved nine to eleven. Really, 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.319 I mean, this is now the party of Grandpa Bernie 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.959 and those lunatics, these new lunatics and Pocahontas and Mom 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.640 Donnie and AOC and nobody else will take them on. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.000 So I don't even know what to do end the 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.600 funny story today. I don't know if you saw this. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.640 Andrea Piser wrote about it in the New York Post 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:39.800 today you know, fight the oligarchy. Guess who's selling merch 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.640 selling merchandise in her campaign website featuring socialist slogans like 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:51.559 tax the rich brawler, aoc Bronx, queens working class. She's 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.479 selling this stuff online. She sounds like an entrepreneurs. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.800 Wow, I can't stand her. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.800 No, you love her beyond No, I have no lut 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.560 on my No you do. I mean knowing you wanted 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.199 to be the nominee in twenty eight over Gavin. Oh 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.319 my god, no, oh my god. No, it's not the dimes. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.840 Weren't the difference between them. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.280 A little bit more hair? 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.559 Joe a little different, that's true, but he's so handsome 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.160 according to him and Katie Kirk. He thinks he's hands 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.840 out and it can be such a distraction. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.920 Not he's gross, They're both gross. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.840 The price of oil has been it's now at eighty five, well, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.200 just went to eighty six, but been hovering around eighty 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.720 six most of the day, very low compared to its 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.120 high of nearly one twenty. When the President announced yesterday 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.440 that the you know, I don't know how he did it, 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.880 very stealthily pulled out one hundred million barrels of oil 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.560 to keep the price of oil down because supply and 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.560 demand criss crossing dictate price. I think he surprised everybody 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.360 in the room, the media mob that was in there. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.040 He's got a gaggle, he's just started. They've been two 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.480 nights of pounding of Iran talk of a real deal. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.600 I don't know. I'd like to see this come to 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.520 a quick conclusion and that the strait be opened, the 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.160 dust settled, meaning the nuclear dust and mission accomplished in 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.040 that sense. I know you're not supposed to utter those words, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.680 but it would be such a huge benefit. You know. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.480 The one thing I'll say is this will never be 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.200 able to calibrate how successful this effort is, because the 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:36.480 President will have prevented a potential nuclear holocaust. You know, 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.760 if the Iranians, if you think that they're tough negotiators 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.760 and jackasses now when they really have very little power 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.400 and can be obliterated in no time, what do you 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.320 think a nuclear armed Iran would be. They would hold 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.480 the world hostage, they would hold the entire Middle East hostage. Anyway, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.760 the President is about to speak to the press surrounding him. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.360 He's doing other business as well. Let's just dip. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:08.080 In the war with the rent and we're going to 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.000 be a subject to finalization of documents. We should get 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:16.040 done over the next few days. We probably have a signing, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:21.000 maybe in Europe, and it's a great thing. Stock markets 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.160 up a thousand points. That means they like the deal. See, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.240 that means they like. The market goes down, it means 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.080 they don't like the deal. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.440 But it's been up. Oil shrupped. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.600 Oil will start coming down to I think even lower 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.400 than it was before. Had I said I was in 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.800 Iowa it was one hour eighty five cents a gallon. 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.120 I don't know if I'm going to get there, but 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:44.120 we're going to get pretty close. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.480 Going to come down, and when oil comes down, everything 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.680 else comes down. And most importantly, we have a deal 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.080 that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, which was 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.320 the whole purpose of what we had to go through 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:55.760 to get this. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.240 It was a big, very big thing. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:05.840 But we have a signing suited, and the documents are 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.040 in pretty final shape. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:08.880 So we'll see. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.920 We'll say very good should be done, and that should 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:13.920 be done pretty quickly. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.200 They wanted every bit. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.480 As much as everybody else wants, and then I think 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.119 a lot of good relationships can ensue from this. I 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.400 just spoke with the leaders of many of the countries 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.560 that were mentioned in the release. I just spoke to 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.679 bb I spoke to the head of Great Heads of 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:39.560 Nations Guitar, UAE and Saudi Arabia, Bahraine, Kuwait and others. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.560 And I'm gonna be talking to Turkey. 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.760 President Ernawano's great and it's really a wonderful thing with 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:50.520 a lot of spirit. 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.600 Pakistan was fantastic. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:58.960 The Prime Minister, the I call him the General, he's 0:17:59.000 --> 0:17:59.439 a general. 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.120 He's a great, great general is so great that he's 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.280 actually a field marshal, a step above. And they're all 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:07.959 very happy. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.200 The whole Middle East is happy, and along beyond the 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.199 Middle East, the Straight will open as soon as we 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.840 have a signed. We've been taking out many ships that 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.760 nobody knew. Even the fake news didn't know it. But 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:25.080 over the last month we've been taking our ships, big ships, 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:26.200 quietly at night. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:26.840 You guys didn't know. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.920 That's pretty cool, right, as a captain, he knows more 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.679 about ships than I do, but it's pretty good. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.160 It turned off the lights, we bombed their radar. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.080 And everything so they couldn't see what was going on, 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.800 and we took out some nights twenty five ships, some 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:47.400 nights fifteen. It's last four or five nights we did 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:53.560 twenty five, twenty two, twenty one, twenty six, eighteen and fourteen. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.320 Who else would remember those numbers? 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:01.440 Nobody? Lot of ships, a lot of oil is that 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:06.640 that's why oil. Even before this, the market couldn't understand 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.679 why it was so free, that it's more oil than 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.080 they thought. What they're trying to We took them out 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.680 at nine and that w the straight wall officially open 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.840 as soon as we signed, which could be soon, very soon, 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.200 maybe over the weekend in Europe. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.560 I won't be able to be there, but. 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.520 JD will be there, Vice president of some of the 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:36.120 people Steve Woodcoff did a great job, Jared. So we'll 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.880 take some questions, but right now we're here to talk about. 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.919 Fishermen and fisher women. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:46.040 Okay, we have They're great people, and I guess I'm 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.160 a little prejudiced because they all voted for me.

They can't fish. 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.119 Other people could fish, They couldn't. These people weren't allowed 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.080 to fish. Can you imagine that? Do you ever think 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.720 that was going to happen as you grew up, probably 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:45.520 as the sons of sons and daughters of fishermen, and 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.439 someday they were going to take away the right to 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.720 fore you to go fishing in the Pacific Ocean. Want 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.080 a bunch of dopes? Those decisions slums off vast resources 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.840 and really the richest. 0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.639 Fishing grounds they say, anywhere. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:03.240 In the world, destroyed livelihoods and made the United States 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.800 more dependent on forest products. And I did a similar 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.640 thing for Maine. Maine is very much in the subject 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.000 because I have a pig running for the Senate. He's 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.600 a pig instead of senator. He's a joke, he's a 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.919
