All right, market's absolutely wild this morning. Let's 15 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and start with this one. Put it up 16 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: there on the screen exactly twelve at twelve hours. President 17 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: Trump has now intervened after a warning that was issued 18 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: about potential market fallout that would have happened without a 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Trump Taco. Yesterday, they posted at oil prices were no 20 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: longer the biggest threat to the markets, increasingly clear that 21 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: bond markets would dictate how President Trump can continue increased 22 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: pressure in the Iran war. As a four thirty am 23 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: ET this morning, the bond market was quote now more 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: broken than the energy market situation. The yield had hit 25 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: four point four to five percent. President Trump had the 26 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: same conversation as he did April ninth, twenty twenty five, 27 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: when he had paused tariffs for ninety days. Remember all 28 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: the whole bond market conversation that we had last year. 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 1: Three hours later, he postpones all strikes on Iranian power plants. 30 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: Thirty minutes later, Iran denies. The ten year yield briefly 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: collapsed before rebounding back to four point three eight percent. 32 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: Now a clear attempt by the US to contain a 33 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: brewing bond market crisis, which obviously affects all of the debt, 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: it affects mortgage rates, has huge impact on everything. The 35 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: bond crisis and reaction that happened after the twelve Day 36 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: or sorry, after the Liberation Day war that clearly had 37 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: a major impact on his thinking. Go to the next one. Please, 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: we can put this one up there on the screen 39 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: as we say now, as seen in April twenty twenty five, 40 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: this is what whose prediction was as of the early, 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: very early this morning, that President Trump would have to 42 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: intervene very very soon. Could explain the taco. Don't forget that. 43 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: There are also all of these crazy things happening with 44 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: the oil markets. So again, as of this morning, there 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: was a large plunge. We remain around nine percent down 46 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: for Brent Brent crude oil futures from the high that 47 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: they opened on last night. However that at one point 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: they were down like fourteen percent and they erased like 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: half of that because of the Iranian denial that negotiations 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: were happening. So something to keep an eye on. I mean, 51 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: it's still at nearly one hundred dollars a barrel, Like, 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: let's not pretend. 53 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, ninety bucks a barrel is not a great place. 54 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: To be in, but we're about ninety for West Texas, 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: so that's still. I mean, if this lasts a couple 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: of days, you will likely see a reduction. I think 57 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: that's the analysis I saw in gas. You will probably 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: see it return to like three fifty something like that 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 1: depends on how the individual operators are. I'm talking about 60 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: the national price effers don't know about the individual states. 61 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: But clearly this was bubbling up at at the population 62 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: level as it should. People are furious. Good example of 63 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: that was the UN ambassador Mike Waltz took to a 64 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: CNN town hall and a younger voter confronted him over 65 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: gas prices. Let's take a listen. 66 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: I'm a waiter at a local restaurant in Queen's, a 67 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 4: full time college student who sleeps an average of four 68 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: hours at night, and it's still thousands in debt. How 69 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 4: is a war in a country half the world away 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 4: funded by the taxes pulled from my check helping me 71 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 4: in any way? 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's OK. 73 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 5: It's a valid and it's a tough question, I know 74 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: for certain. And if we just look at the things 75 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 5: the President has put in place in terms of housing 76 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 5: and big corporations that are buying up whole neighborhoods, the 77 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 5: tax cuts that he extended with the Big Beautiful Bill, 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 5: the energy policies that we're putting in place to not 79 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: only make us self sufficient, but to you know, lessen 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 5: these dependencies and lower prices, even lowering prescription brug drug prices. 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 5: The President's absolutely focused on what you're seeing day in 82 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: and day out that's affecting your pocketbook. At the same time, 83 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 5: as commander in chief, he has to weigh the risks 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 5: and make the tough decisions facing some hard truths. We 85 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 5: cannot have a world with a genocidal, terroristic regime that 86 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: holds not only your generation but the next generation hostage. 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: With nuclear weapons. 88 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 5: And you know, those are the tough calls that the 89 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 5: American people elected him to make. And I can tell you, 90 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 5: having worked very closely with him, he doesn't back off 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 5: his red lines and he doesn't interest into bad deals. 92 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 5: But those are tough decisions, no doubt, and I know 93 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 5: they're top of mind for the entire administration. 94 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, how do we all feel having listening to that? 95 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: How's that waiter feel? How's that guy feel? The guy 96 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: who's thousands of dollars in debt now getting crushed? Man, 97 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: He's like, how exactly does this affect my life? That's 98 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: a great question, man, And that's why I always love 99 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: the town halls. People have a real way of just 100 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: getting right down to it. Yeah, and yeah, you know everyone, 101 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: every American should be asking that question right now of 102 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: this administration and specifically of the Iran War. You could 103 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: not care. You could check out. You're still going to 104 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: have to pay more at the gas price, which Joe 105 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: Biden found out the hard way during the Ukraine War. 106 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: So and not only him, by the way. 107 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: I mean when inflation spiked around the world, basically it 108 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: was like a total global sweet out of almost every incumbent. 109 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it was a massive global referendum on that. 110 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: You know, that inflation, and that all started with gas prices. 111 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: You know, I'm thinking about that gentleman in particular to 112 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: talk about he's a waiter, right, so probably you know, 113 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: tips are a significant part of his income. This is 114 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: somebody who would have seen a benefit from the no 115 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 2: tax on tips provisions very likely that President Trump signed 116 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: into law. You know, there's some other tax provisions they 117 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: were really counting on that would be like, oh, this 118 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 2: is going to be our sales pitch for the Mitcharns. 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: People are going to get more money back from the 120 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: government when they file their taxes. 121 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 3: Obviously that's going on right now. 122 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: You know, my parents were getting like a senior credit 123 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: that I'm sure Soccer was really excited about having me 124 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: and put into the tax code. But now that money 125 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: that's going right back out the door and into your 126 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: gas tank. 127 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: And that's just the beginning. 128 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Because of course, you know, with our economy structure the 129 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: way it is that fuels inflation, across the board, and 130 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: you know, I hope that gas prices come down a 131 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: little bit this week. But the other dynamic that we 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: experienced during the you know, Ukraine War and COVID inflationary 133 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: spikes is that they're very quick to raise the prices, 134 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: takes a little bit longer to bring them back down. 135 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: They like to hold them high as long as they 136 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: can get away with it. So I have no doubt 137 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: we'll see that dynamic hareplay on us. 138 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, remember Diesel came down. Did anybody's got 139 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: a grocery price come down? Because I haven't seen it. 140 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: All Right, let's go to I know, people like my 141 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: McDonald's updates, my wife Jan McDonald's. I went to McDonald's yesterday, 142 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: medium fries for fifty for fifty that's crazy, in what 143 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: should that cost you to me? Ninety nine cents? Right? 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 3: Maybe spend ninety, man, I'll give you two dollars. 145 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't. I don't even Donald's. So it's one 146 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: of those things where this is literally my only And yes, 147 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: I did use the app for all the people who 148 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: were got mad at me for not using the app 149 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: for fifty four fifty for a medium fry.

If they 173 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: say that they have to take lesser loads that they 174 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: have to drive in weird ways to avoid hills, that 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: if they have a single blowout that they're in, if 176 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: they have an engine problem, their entire business is done. 177 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: This is like the backbone. This is the what is 178 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: it the one? I think it's the one profession left 179 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: in the US where you can reliably not have a 180 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: college education, make like six figures actually control your own destiny, 181 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: especially if you're an independent contractor, if you save up 182 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: enough to have your own rig and you can take jobs, 183 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, as you police, you have a little bit 184 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: of work life balance, even though it kind of sucks 185 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: obviously to drive as much as they have to do, 186 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: but they make a modest amount of money and they 187 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: can generally survive. So of course that's also, as I understand, 188 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: that the most maga six figure profession in the United States. 189 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, literally screwing your own voters. It's not just 190 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: about who they vote for. I mean these it's a 191 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: tough it's an incredible tough job, and it's the last 192 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: bastion of some agency without you know, signing up for 193 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: a life in front of a computer. So I really, 194 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: I really feel for these guys. Forty percent increase. Yeah, 195 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: a month over mond, I mean, how many business we 196 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: run a business if our costs weren't forty percent, I 197 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: mean we survived. But I'll be like, you start to 198 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: make a lot of decisions, right, there's a lot of 199 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: stuff that's going to start getting cut and especially planning 200 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: for the future. So I really, I really do feel 201 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: for these. 202 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 3: Structure and this gets passed on to consumers. 203 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: And they talk about in this in this article about 204 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 2: they interviewed this guy, Miguel Caveda. 205 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: He says he's spent. 206 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: Eighteen hundred dollars in diesel fuel during a one week 207 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: on the road and that that was a forty percent 208 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: increase from what he normally does. And he recognizes He's like, yeah, 209 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: I know this is going to get passed on ultimately 210 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: to consumers who are going to pay more for everything 211 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: that I'm hauling, because you know, that's the way it works. 212 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: It's not like the companies that are more profitable in 213 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: the you know, the middlemen here are going to take 214 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: the hit. No, they're gonna they're going to push it 215 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: down to the truckers who are in less of a 216 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: position of power, and they're going to push it onto consumers. 217 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: That's what's going to happen. People are going to get squeezed. 218 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And keeping here with a little bit of this, 219 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: we could show you guys some of the stuff. So 220 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: for example, C six, this is where we're at now currently. 221 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: This is the nationwide gas price as of this morning. 222 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: This was about nine three dollars ninety five cents a 223 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: gallon is the nationwide average. It'll probably hit four before 224 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: coming down in a couple of days if the downturn continues. Obviously, 225 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: who knows with the whole Trump Taco Israel situation. But 226 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean in California is five to seventy gallon? That's madness. 227 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: And our producer Griffin tells us in Los Angeles it's 228 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: easily six dollars a gallon, San Diego, a few other 229 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: places in the state of California. So I really do 230 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: feel for all those people. And what is the White 231 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: House telling us? What are the conservative media, Fox News 232 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: and others saying it's short term pain for a long 233 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: term game. See five. Let's take a listen. 234 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 5: This is a. 235 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: Short term disruption for the long term gain. 236 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 5: Short term pain for the long term gain. 237 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: Short term pain be for long term gain. We're gonna 238 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: have some short term pain with long term gain, short 239 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: term pay for a long term gain, short term pain. 240 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: Yes, we've got some long term gain, short term spike 241 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: for a long term gain. 242 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,359 Speaker 1: Some short term pain for American consumers. 243 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 4: We may have to deal with that in the short term, 244 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: short term and temporary, temporary, short term pain. 245 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna suck in the short term, some. 246 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: Short term pain, short term pain. 247 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: We have to focus on. The short term. Memo went out, 248 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: The memos out, that's the Fox News line. The boomers 249 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: are like, yeah, you're right. For short term, they're just 250 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, sitting on their stock portfolios and there. Yeah, 251 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: they're new social Security checks that are like, oh, you know, 252 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: for cost more to drive to the casino to piss 253 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: away my social Security stuck, So be it. That's the 254 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: long term gain. Just have you seen that meme too 255 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: about twenty days, Like the year is twenty thirty. The 256 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: boomers will tell us you were right about the Iron 257 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: War and the Iraq War, but this time Turkey is 258 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: an existential threat to the United States. Yeah, it's coming. 259 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: They'll learn nothing. 260 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's absolutely right. There's one last piece here 261 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: that I just want to flag the eight because I 262 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: thought this was interesting, this kind of like time limit 263 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: of the short term pain. I guess they're saying that 264 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: these Wall Street analysts, in these corporate executives basically feel 265 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: like there's. 266 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: Like a two week time limit here. 267 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: The economy has a straight of hor moves deadline for 268 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: Trump two weeks where you know, I mean, already oil 269 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: prices have been pretty high, you know, up to one 270 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: hundred dollars and beyond. Right now they're down back down 271 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: at about ninety dollars a Barrow's still not great. But 272 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: in any case, you know, even Trump expressed surprise at like, 273 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: oh how co I thought it would actually be a 274 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: little bit worse than this. There are some indications they 275 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: may be directly intervening in the economy to keep the 276 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: oil prices from completely spikeanic control. But you can see 277 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: this as a concern, and that's the whole reason for 278 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: the talker right before the market's open this morning, et cetera. 279 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: But in any case, this is kind of the sense 280 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: on Wall Street is like, all right, we'll give them 281 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: about two more weeks if you can't get the straight 282 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: of horror moves open. That's kind of when we're going 283 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: to lose hope that a taco, an achievable taco is 284 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: truly on the horizon. So you know, according to this article, 285 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: at least, that's kind of how the clock is sticking 286 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: right now. 287 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: We'll see. All right, let's get to bb last thing 288 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: that we alluded to a little bit earlier before we 289 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: get to Andrew Wilkinson is specifically about Israel and these 290 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: alleged strikes that are currently happening where they are claiming 291 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: that Iran is trying to damage the holy sites in Jerusalem. 292 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: The problem, of course with that is if something were 293 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: to happen, whether it's false flag or a real attack, 294 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: who knows from some sort of falling debris is it 295 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: could trigger a literal religious war on top of the 296 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: disaster that we're already in. So let's play some of 297 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: this footage that was coming out of Israel where you 298 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: could actually see these Iranian ballistic missile fragments according to 299 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: the Israelis that struck near the Old City of Jerusalem. 300 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: They're saying that it's fell roughly four hundred yards from 301 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: the Western Wall and the all Axa Mosque. The reason 302 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: why this is important is that the prime Minister Netsan 303 00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Yahou immediately began using these strikes as evidence of holy 304 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: war of being targeting and why other nations need to 305 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: be brought into it. Let's take listen from the Prime minister. 306 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: What do you have to say? 307 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 6: If anyone needed an explanation of why Iran is the 308 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 6: enemy of civilization and the enemy and the danger to 309 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 6: the entire world, you got it in the last forty 310 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 6: eight hours. In the last forty eight hours, they fired 311 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 6: what terror weapon on civilians? On children. There's a children's 312 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 6: nursery here, there's an old man, old person's home here, civilians, families. 313 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 6: They fired terror weapons on civilians, and often they use 314 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 6: cluster bombs, which are forbidden by international law. The second 315 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 6: thing that they did is that they fired on Jerusalem, 316 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 6: right next to the holy places. They sent ballistic missiles 317 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 6: that could have destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, 318 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 6: the Laxa Mosque, and the Western Wall, three holy asides 319 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 6: to the three monastistic religions. They don't care. They're firing 320 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 6: on everyone. The third thing they did is they fired 321 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 6: in intercontinental ballistic missiles four thousand kilometers right into Diego Garcia. 322 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 6: The American British base. They can reach now with these 323 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 6: ballistic missiles everywhere in Europe, almost everywhere in Europe. 324 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: So he talked there about remember that's why we spent time. 325 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Diego Garcia got a propaganda back there. Right to hear 326 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: Diego Garcia mentioned there at the end the Alaxa and 327 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: the Holy sites of Jerusalem. They're talking about that could 328 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: be a potential for you know, some sort of precipitating 329 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: event for a complete takeover destruction of the mosque.

Let's take a listen. 349 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 6: It's all moved by a shames to this location to 350 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 6: that location. 351 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: We don't know. 352 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: Maybe one of the missiles will heed the mask and 353 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: clear the place for the third veta. 354 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: That could also be a miracle. 355 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 3: If it was up to me the last time, when 356 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: they shot hundreds of missiles, I would pretend that. 357 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: One missile came from Iran and shoot it down. 358 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 6: You know, then all the Arabs will go against Iran 359 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: and will be the. 360 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: End of the problems. 361 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 6: You make them fight with each. 362 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: Other, this bunch of lunatics. 363 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 6: Never too late to deal with a bunch of cowards, 364 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 6: these early leaders. 365 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: They just won that passed the week. So there you go. Yeah, 366 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: very controversial Rabbi miss Rachi, who was very upset by 367 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: the way I talk to carls him for playing them, 368 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: for you know, for absolutely exposing some of the things 369 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: look that he said in the past. 370 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 2: I mean, look, I absolutely stand by anyone's right to 371 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 2: play some of the thinking that comes out of the region, 372 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 2: because I've said them many times after October seventh, if 373 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 2: you listen to the most hysterical lefty or if you 374 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: listen to the totally psycho settlers about what their goals were, 375 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: and you know, the lefties were saying like, here's what 376 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: Israel's going to do, you would have been much more 377 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 2: accurate in understanding where things were ultimately headed. I mean, 378 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: at the time when you talked about the Greater Israel project, 379 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: you were considered a complete. 380 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 3: And total nut job. 381 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: Now you look at Siri, you look at Lebanon, you 382 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: look at the West Bank, you look at Gaza, you 383 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: look at the whole region, right, and you've got our 384 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: own ambassador being asked again by Tucker Carlson. Hey, you know, 385 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 2: the Bible says this is the area that Israel supposed 386 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: to make up. You cool, if they take that area 387 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: which encompasses you know, parts or the whole of multiple 388 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: countries in the region. 389 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: He's like, yes, they do that. That's fine. 390 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: That is official state of government policy coming from our ambassador, 391 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: which was never disputed by the President or anyone else 392 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: in the administration. By the way, that'd be a good 393 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 2: question actually to ask somebody in the administration whether they 394 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: stand by that. But do you put this past the Israelis, 395 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: you think they wouldn't do something like this if they 396 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: thought it would benefit them, They absolutely would. And again 397 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 2: you have to think of not only do you have 398 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 2: you know, fanatical religious fanatic who are in control of 399 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: the government and deeply influential in terms of this government coalition, 400 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: in terms of that society at large. You have met 401 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: Yahu again as this old man who wants to have 402 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: his legacy and his imprint on the world. And you 403 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: have this connection between the eschatology of you know, the 404 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: the Jewish, the Jewish extremists with the American evangelicals that 405 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 2: converge in the site of Al a Samusk and what 406 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 2: they would, you know, rebuild there's a third temple. So 407 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: you know, you've got the the war justification of this, 408 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: you know, racist rabbi saying like, oh, these Arabs, their 409 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 2: their maniacs, they're they're crazy. They'll all fight each other. 410 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 2: So you've got that idea of let's turn all these 411 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: people against each other and they'll all fight each other 412 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: and we won't have to deal with them. You see 413 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 2: that in some of the worst strategy. Right We we 414 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: actually know one of the attacks on Bahrain that was 415 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 2: purported to have come from Iran actually now we know 416 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: it was a Tomahawk that was a US missile that actually, 417 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 2: you know, did the damage there in Bahrain. 418 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: We've had other indication that. 419 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: The Americans in the Israelis are actually responsible for some 420 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: of the attacks that they are blaming on Iran. Why 421 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: because they want to draw the entire region in. They 422 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: want to make it so that those Arab Gulf states 423 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: that they also fully join the fight without hesitation. The 424 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: Diego Garcia strike, if that is, you know, if that 425 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: was a false flag, which I think is possible. I'm 426 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: not saying it is, I'm saying it's possible. What's the 427 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 2: goal of that to draw Europe in. So this is 428 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 2: the way that they think, and it's the way that 429 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: they operate. And be me in those comments about how 430 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: Oh Jesus Christ would lose to Jingis Khan. What he's 431 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: asserting there is we can do because we are inherently 432 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: the good guys, inherently, not because of our actions, just 433 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: inherently this like supremacist view, we can do anything and 434 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: it's still good because we're trying to prevail over them 435 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: and they are inherently evil. That's his view of the world. Like, 436 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 2: that is what he laid out. That is what he 437 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: meant by those comments. 438 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was I mean, that quote was so wild. 439 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: What was Emily's take? Actually, I'm curious. 440 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: You know, Emily's very measured. 441 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: She just explained, like, well, it comes from this book, 442 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: and here's the view. 443 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a little familiar, but it's like, here's 444 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: the thing. He clearly was not quoting it in a 445 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: way like maybe I would analytically. He was doing it 446 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: in like a praiseworthy manner, and he was like trying 447 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: to I think Christian evil wins out. I'm like, well, 448 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: that is true, you know, in a matter of like 449 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: test of wills and military force. But to cite Jesus's 450 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: name in that, that's pretty wild. And I think again, 451 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many times these Christian 452 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Zionists need to be like literally spit on by these 453 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: literally spit on. If you think I'm joking about way 454 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: some Christians there are treated before them to wake up, 455 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: I will never understand it. Like they look at them 456 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: like cattle. I've seen that. I've talked to some of 457 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: these israel people. They're they're like, oh yeah, these crazy people. 458 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 1: They come over here. They need us to die so 459 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: that their Messiah will come back. They literally laugh at 460 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: you while they take your money, and they want you 461 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: to continue to support them, and they do. I just 462 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: it's so nuts. You know, the Paula White stories that 463 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: recently came out from our Religious Liberty Commission, and all 464 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: of this put together, that's why, you know, to your 465 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: point October eighth, twenty twenty three, when we're sitting here 466 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: talking about greater Israel and patches and third temples, you 467 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: seem like an insane person. Red Heifer Tucker, Yeah, the 468 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: Red Heifer. Yeah. Tucker made a good point where our 469 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: society is so secular, we can't conceive of this stuff 470 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: because to me it seems nuts. But I even though 471 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: it does, I am empathetic, not in like a way 472 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: that I appreciate, but like empathetic enough to understand, like 473 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: this is a real religious conflict for a lot of 474 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: these people. And I don't put it past them both 475 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: these real and yeah, you know, I mean who knows 476 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: even potential some sort of what the reaction to that 477 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: could be, considering the history of the region and the 478 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: second Endofada, And they're like going, you know, like going 479 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: to the mosque or the temple. 480 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 3: Yeah. 481 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: Nothing kisses me off more though than when they try 482 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: to frame this as some like two thousand year old 483 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: blood feud. 484 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 3: It's like, Israel is a modern creation. 485 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying everything was hunky dory all the time, 486 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: but you had Christians, Jews, and Muslims who buy and 487 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: large were able to peacefully coexist for generate No, this 488 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: is not a religious battle. This is a political battle 489 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: over land, territory and sovereignty. That's what this is. And 490 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 2: so you know, I think the leaders who are involved here. 491 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: You know, Trump is not Trump is not an evangelical 492 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: right but he's happy to use that if it serves 493 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 2: his war aims. Not Yahoo is by all accounts a 494 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 2: secular person, like a you know, not super fanatical religious, 495 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: but is he happy to use you know, people's genuine 496 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: religious views and fanaticism. Frankly, is he happy to use 497 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: that for his war ams, Of course he is. So 498 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 2: it's like any other sort of sy up. It's a 499 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: tool to manipulate the masses. It's a tool to justify 500 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: things that are otherwise not at all justifiable, you know. 501 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: I mean he uses also not in y'all, this language 502 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: of the children of the light and the children of 503 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: the darkness. Again, the framing that he puts out to 504 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 2: the population, and the population believes, by the way, judging 505 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: by their own reaction to, you know, the atrocities that 506 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 2: their state routinely commits. He puts out that, effectively, they 507 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: are always in forever the good guys, period, end of story. 508 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: And I think there's a lot of Americans who believe 509 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: that about America too. If it's us, then it's the 510 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: good guys. It doesn't really matter what we do. If 511 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: we did something that was it was an oopsie, it 512 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 2: was an aberration. If one of our sworn enemies does 513 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 2: something bad that speaks to their direct character, that's because 514 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: they are inherently bad. And so that's how they can 515 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 2: go about justifying all of these you know, wars and 516 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 2: wars of aggression, and you know, invasions and ethnic cleansing 517 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: and genocide, war crimes and bombing school girls, et cetera. 518 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: It's because they're inherently the good ones. So in any case, 519 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: anytime I hear now that like directly religious rhetoric come 520 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: from any of these leaders, but Natanyahu in particular, my 521 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: ears really perk up because I think it's very, very significant. 522 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: And so the moment he mentioned, like, oh, and Iran 523 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 2: is targeting near the Alaksa Musque, I found that to 524 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: be a very ominous comment from him. 525 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: Totally agree. All right, we got Wolkerson standing by. Let's 526 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: get to it. 527 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: All right, guys, looks like we had a scheduling snafu 528 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 2: with Lawrence Wilkerson. So hopefully we'll be able to work 529 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: that out to get him on the show in the 530 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: near future because I definitely want to speak with him. 531 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 2: But in the meantime, we've had some breaking news. Trump 532 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: apparently talking on the phone to a couple of his 533 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: favorite hosts over at CNBC. Joe Kernan reported that this 534 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: is how their conversation went. 535 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 3: Let's go and take a listen to that. 536 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 7: President went on to say or insists that this is 537 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 7: regime change because it's totally different people that were involved 538 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 7: in the last regime. I would imagine some of the 539 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 7: people are the same. This is the president's take on that, 540 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 7: insisting that it's regime changed. 541 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: So I don't know, Sagaris is like an attempt for 542 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: Trump to declare mission accomplished. I don't know, but we 543 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: did change the regime because we've murdered the Ayahtola and 544 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: now his son is in charge is reportedly more hardline. 545 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: I mean, they killed a bunch of the people who 546 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: he even said that they killed a bunch of the 547 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: people that they thought maybe they would be negotiating an 548 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 2: end to the war. So he's trying to frame this, 549 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: I guess as some sort of a positive Yeah. 550 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: Look, if this is what it takes to say mission accomplished, 551 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: mister president, your genius, You've accomplished nobody could else, nobody else, 552 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: and I really mean nobody could have. 553 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: Done it quite like you. 554 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: Quite like you. I'm giving you all preview of I'm 555 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: going to try and sye out my way on Fox 556 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: News and give an incredibly serious like take praising him, 557 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: but also pepper it with little things like that and 558 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: be like, thank you for your bravery this decision. So yeah, 559 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if this is what it takes, this 560 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: is what it takes. At the very same time, we've 561 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: got this interview that he just did with Maria Bartriomo. 562 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen, Welcome back. 563 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 8: I just spoke with President Trump and he told me 564 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 8: that Iran wants to make a deal badly. He said 565 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 8: that the talks have been ongoing. I said, how much 566 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 8: longer will this conflict go on? He said, the talks. 567 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 8: I said five days to halt or postpone strikes on 568 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 8: the electrical infrastructure. It could happen sooner, he said, but 569 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 8: I have put down five days. I asked him what 570 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 8: his reaction is to Iranian state television saying that there 571 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 8: are no talks, and he said he's not sure what 572 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 8: they are referring to, because the most recent talks happened, 573 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 8: in fact, last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner 574 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 8: and their counterparts. When I asked about the Iranian TV 575 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 8: saying that no talks have happened, he said, it's hard 576 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 8: to get any information there because of the US is 577 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 8: blowing up so much of their infrastructure. So again, he 578 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 8: wasn't sure what Iran State TV was talking about, because 579 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 8: the most recent talks, he said, happened last night with 580 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 8: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Again, the President just told 581 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 8: me moments ago that the Iranians want to do a 582 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 8: deal badly. The market, of course, has reversed course this 583 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 8: morning after the President posted this morning in the middle 584 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 8: of a big decline in markets, he said that he 585 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 8: has directed the military to postpone strikes on the electrical 586 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 8: infrastructure and the power plants for five days as these 587 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 8: talks continued. 588 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: There you go, Actually, I mean, look, he's claiming some 589 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: Kushner and wit cough exchanges. Iranian TV saying no talks 590 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: have happened, by the way, not there's no public reporting 591 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: that this is even true Axios, which is like the 592 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: White House sscribe when they were talking about the what 593 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: they said it was ya intermediaries of Egypt, Turkey and 594 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: a few other countries which we're talking to. Both were 595 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: messages being exchanged. In reality, I mean, here's the truth. 596 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: What it probably was. The US were like, hey, here's 597 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: our demands, and the Iranians were like, hey, here's our demands. 598 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: You know, to the Turks or to the Egyptians, and 599 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: they were just calling each other saying what it was. 600 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: There's been no subs Obviously, there has been no actual 601 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: substantive exchange. If Jared Kushner and Steve Wikoff have proof 602 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: of this, they should release it. The Iranians are denying 603 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: it completely outright that any of it has happened. Again, look, 604 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: if he needs to pretend, be my guest that there 605 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: are some functional talks that are happening, but that would 606 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: require Iranians actually taking it seriously and constraining Israel. And 607 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, look, our show is a bit difficult to 608 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: program this morning because so much breaking news is happening. 609 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: But it's like I said, the Israeli Air Force has 610 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: already announced quote the air Force has begun a short 611 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: while ago another wave of strikes targeting infrastructure of the 612 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: Iranian terror regime across Tayran. Combine that also with some 613 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: of the comments that were made here to Maria Barceriomo, 614 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: there is no indication that any actual off ramp is 615 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: being pursued. Is this a moratorium of all US strikes, 616 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: of all Israeli strikes? No, it's saying that the promised 617 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: energy strikes that would happen in five days have been 618 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: called off. Now at this point, maybe it'll never happen, 619 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: but a low grade war is still a disaster for 620 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: the straits of Hormuves, for the closure of you know, 621 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: for the closure of the straits of Hormoves, for continued 622 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: missiles being fired, of tit for tat escalation between the 623 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: Israelis and Iranians, of American service members of all the 624 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: GCC countries. So let's not pretend like this is over 625 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: right now, right, I mean this morning, I was looking 626 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: and reading an oil analyst who said, if the war 627 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: ends today like fully ends today, four months still of disruption, 628 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: four months in the oil markets from lost production, seven 629 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: months to get the Katari ras Lafon facility back online 630 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: to a limited capacity. Remember they had extensive damage which 631 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: will take multiple years to repair, billions of dollars to 632 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: have to be reinvested. And there is a mismatch of 633 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: global tankers right now where a lot of tankers who 634 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: traditionally will be transitting are now actually coming to the 635 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: United States to pick up oil from here or LNG 636 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: and then take it back over there. So it would 637 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: take months. I mean, you know, these are huge, gigantic 638 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: ships with cargo and contracts are already being canceled out 639 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: until April. So it's good even if it ended today, 640 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: which it's not. This buys every week basically is another 641 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: month or so of disruption from his from the way 642 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: that he outlined it, and his real doomsday was another 643 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: two months. He's like another two months, and it's like that. 644 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: Think about too a few things. 645 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: Number one, I mean, just ask yourself as the straight 646 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: ofform moves opening anytime, right, No, No, the Iranians are 647 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: not opening. The straight ofform moonves, which is what the 648 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 2: original threat from Trump was all about. Which you know, 649 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: that whole problem is just created exclusively obviously by this war. 650 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: That we chose to start. 651 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: So you know, as long as the straight ofform moves 652 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 2: remains closed, the war continues on and it continues to 653 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: be devastating for everybody in the world, the global economy, 654 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: developing world. I was already seeing, you know, in India 655 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: a bunch of restaurants have had to close because they 656 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: don't have gas to cook with. People already got long 657 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 2: cues for exactly that kind of you know gas that 658 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: they use for their cooking. So you're already having huge 659 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: global repercussions. Obviously you're seeing the repercussions at the gas pump, 660 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 2: so you know that is extraordinarily important. The other thing 661 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: I was thinking about soccer is think about Trump's timeline here. Okay, 662 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: so he announces this right before markets open on Monday, 663 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: and he's like five days of a ceasefire. 664 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 3: Well, guess what that puts us. 665 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: Said market clothes on Friday, so that he can you know, 666 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: do whatever he's going to do next then. And so 667 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: you know, I continue to think that this is this 668 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 2: is him trying to buy some time for him to 669 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: make a decision on whatever is going to come next. 670 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: The Iranians do not seem like they're backing down at all, 671 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 2: and these Raelis continue to attack, So you know, if 672 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: he's serious about actually de escalating and try and find 673 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: some sort of an off ramp claiming mission accomplished in 674 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 2: some sort of sense, the first thing you have to 675 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 2: do before you even put out your message about how 676 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: we're going to give it five days, first thing you 677 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: got to do is call if your attack dogs in Israel. 678 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: Clearly that did not happen, and you know. 679 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: Again I would be very skeptical of claims that Trump 680 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 2: always so mad at the Israelis for attacking the Iranian infrastructure. 681 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: I would be very skeptical about these claims. So you know, 682 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: it's all market manipulation and game playing as far as 683 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: I can tell. 684 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: Exactly, that's you know, final like in terms of what 685 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: we know as of this morning. That's what it all is. 686 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: It's all about trying to calm markets. It's all about 687 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: trying to I mean, if you think about it tomorrow, 688 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: maybe we'll cover the TSA stuff. It genuinely feels like 689 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: things are falling apart at the most basic level. So 690 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: you had the Atlanta airport this morning say you should 691 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: arrive four hours before your flight. Trump is trying to 692 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: do something about it by sending ICE agents to the airports, who, 693 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: by the way, aren't trained to do anything and all 694 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: there's all they're literally going to do is sit there 695 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: and be like go over there, right to a leave 696 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: the airport too, which Trump just told him not to do. 697 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: Trumps put out a truth, he said, please don't wear 698 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: your mask in the airport. So you have, first of all, 699 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: you think people are gonna like that. I mean, we 700 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: have a limit of very polarized country. Maybe some people 701 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: will like it in Maga country. In the rest New 702 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: York LaGuardia, don't think it's going to go over that well. 703 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: So you have to stand in a long ass line 704 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: and then look at the most politicized agency in the 705 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: entire what in the entire US government while you directly 706 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: see the consequences of a government failure with TSA lines, 707 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: while you're in the middle of an unpopular war. While 708 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: let's say you do let's say you get some flight 709 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: credit and you cancel your flight and you want to 710 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: book in the future. Oh sorry, your flight's actually doubled 711 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: in price because jet fuel is going for two hundred 712 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: dollars a barrel. On your way home, it's going to 713 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: cost more because of I mean, this is like failed 714 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: state stuff. Like when you see the gas go up 715 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: by a dollar a gallon in a single month, diesel, 716 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: everything is all start to get more expensive. It just 717 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: feels like you can't do anything anymore, even just normally, right, 718 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: And that's the worst possible thing. Government rarely touches you 719 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: directly in your life, so like so effectively, you know, 720 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: tens of millions of people fly every single day in 721 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: the country. Every single one of them's gonna have a story. 722 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: They're going to talk about it when they go home, 723 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: post about it on social media. Everybody's posting about gas prices. Now. 724 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: Everybody's got a friend in California who's sending them a 725 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: seven dollars callon thing, posting it on their Instagram story, 726 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Like this is bad for not just for Trump, but 727 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: like for real, like any any sort of semblance of 728 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: like confidence in your government. Yeah, and he really takes 729 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: a long time to come back. 730 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 3: And that's from something like that, And that's what were 731 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 3: even mentioned. There was this deadly collision in LaGuardia. 732 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: Yes, oh my god, right, forty. 733 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: Plus people taken to the hospital after a plane I'm 734 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: not sure which airline it. 735 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: Was for Canada. 736 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 2: One of the people light which yeah, collided with the 737 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: truck that was on the you know, at the airport there, 738 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 2: and so you know, and who knows whose fault that is. 739 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 2: But we certainly seem to have a lot more of 740 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: these accidents recently. And I saw something was going on 741 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: at New Newark Airport air traffic control too. So the 742 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 2: whole thing is just yeah, yeah. 743 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: We had it here in entirety. We had four of 744 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: our airports shutdown because the regional air traffic control had 745 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: a bad smell. Look, I mean it must have been 746 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: really bad to shut it all that. I mean, you 747 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: can't be shutting down air traffic in the entire one 748 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: with everybody knows, yes, nobody knows to the day time 749 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: what that was. They're smoking Newark liberty. I mean, just 750 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: put all these things together and yeah, like trying to 751 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: make plans or trying to like function in our society 752 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: day it's nuts. You can't fly anywhere, you don't want 753 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: to drive anywhere, you want to do anything. I mean, 754 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: it just really makes you feel a sense of like 755 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: terrible malaise whenever you're trying to do anything. And even 756 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,399 Speaker 1: if you're trying to buy a house right now, you're like, well, 757 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: I thought the mortgage rate has come down, oops, back 758 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: up to seven percent. It's just anybody who's trying to 759 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: do anything has been directly affected in the last couple 760 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: of months by this exact crisis. That is the worst 761 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: possible thing for you. Again, as Joe Biden found out, 762 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: the very very hard weight never came back from it. 763 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody in this administration's ever 764 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: coming back from this nightmare now so far, so there 765 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: you go. As we said, we're very sorry to miss 766 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: mister Wilkerson. We'll be happy to get him back here 767 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: on the show whenever we can. We've had a few things. 768 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: Daylight Savings has been a major problem for some of 769 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: our I promised I wouldn't make it into a big 770 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: thing out of respect for the war, but it's starting 771 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: a great on me how things are going. Anyways, we're 772 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: about to do our ama, so we'll see you all later. 773 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: Thank you all so much for watching.
