1 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Alright, ready here we go. Don't look up, rang the bell, 2 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: close the machines before before it goes even further there. 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: We had a little rough day in Wall Street today, 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifteen lower in the Dow four hundred. 5 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: Nasdaq took it right on the chin. A lot of 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: those tech stocks just got pommeled today, folks, for fifty lower. 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: It's been a rough couple of weeks. If I think 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: three weeks in a row, we have some serious, serious downturns. 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: Gold took it on the chin as well. Forty five 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: eleven stayed over the forty five hundred dollars. Here's the reason. 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: Look at the bottom number. This is exactly what's going on. 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: We're approaching ninety nine dollars a barrow for West Texas 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: Media Cruit. Again, that is a problem. That's a four 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: dollars gasoline. Plus. I've been telling you saying this for 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: a long time. Gotta figure this stuff out. We got 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: to figure it out. Bitcoin retreated a little bit, all right. 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: For decades, it was known as the miracle. Mineral A's 18 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: Best was a common material used in flooring, roofing, insulation, 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: even common household products. We used every single day Some 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: call it a miracle product at the time, but today 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: we know that there was a sinister side of this 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: mineral and the heavy price people have paid being exposed 23 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: to asbestos. Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: and other forms of cancers. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: can lead to cancer's growth, but the latency periods get 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: this for developing mesothelioma ranges from twenty to fifty years. 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: So many people diagnosed today we're exposed decades ago. So 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: if you were someone you loved was affected by mesothelioma 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: or lung cancer, you need to call Victim's Justice Group 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: right now. They can help you determine if you qualify 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: for compensation. The attorneys and staff working with Victims Justice 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Group have decades of experience and fully understand the complexities 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: of filing of claim. Call Victims Justice Group using the 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: number on the screen right now.

Here to discussed. The senior investigative 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: reporter for the Epic Times or Epic Times, howef you 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: want to call it, Host of Crossroads Podcasts, Joshua Philip, 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: josh really good to have you back. The sniping going 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: back and forth all day today. Around today, whoever's making 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: this call said, you know what, We're not going to 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: come to the negotiating table while we're under attack. Meanwhile, 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Israel continues to hit Iran. And you know the big question, 47 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: is Israel hit one of the Iranian oil installations? And 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: they said Trump knew about Trump's that I had no 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: idea about that. Tell us what you know. 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: Well, so Israel did strike some of the oil fields 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: or the oil facilities in Iran. Trump was very unhappy 52 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: about that. Something's happened behind the scenes. We don't know 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: how tense that was or how that went, but Trump 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: basically came out and said, Israel will not be doing 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: that again. I think this ties into the long range 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: kind of view of the war. Trump has the ability, 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: as you do, franklier allies to effectively eliminate Iran's ability 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: to function. Trump said, look, if we really wanted to 59 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: deal with Iran, we could destroy their energy infrastructure and 60 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: it would take them two decades to build it back. 61 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: We could cripple them overnight. He's not doing that, and 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: so I think the reason he's done he's not doing 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: that is he's looking at the long term picture. He 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: does believe. I think that Iran's threat to us will 65 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: be gone very quickly, and from there, he wants to 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: have them to be able to stand on their own 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: two feet and be a decent country in their region. 68 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: Israel's more looking at like immediate threats, and so I 69 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: think that's why they're doing things like that. 70 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: So work would be Joshua here, because I understand how 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: these things work. I'm doing this really really long time. 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Especially in the oil business, things tend. It's called mission creep. 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: So I believe the initial mission was to destroy your 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: end's ability to make and deliver nuclear weapons, and then 75 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: at some point it evolved into well, yeah, that, but also, 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: let's get rid of these mallels who keep one chant 77 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: death to America. Okay, got it, got it, new mission. 78 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: But along somewhere it felt like the oil was another 79 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: part of what's with the reason why we're there bybeing 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: that Yahoo yesterday, I think he put his foot in 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: his mouth when he started talking about getting some Iranian 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: oil into Israel, and I think people, wait a minute, 83 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: wait a minute, is this really about nukes, regime change 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: or oil. 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's a tough one too. Mission creep is 86 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: a real thing, and I think nobody knows it better 87 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: than us here in the United States as we watch 88 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: what happened to us getting pulled in these conflicts. I 89 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: think for Trump's side, that's something he's also very concerned about. 90 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: With Israel. There are a lot of concerns that were 91 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: getting pulled into the war that's not ours, especially if 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: they are expanding it. The next po is headlining right 93 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: now is to talk about troops on the ground. 94 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: There's right, Well, that's where we want to go right there, 95 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: right now, because there's there's some speculation now on some 96 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 1: websites saying that the preparations are being made for troops 97 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: in the ground in Iran. First of all, do you 98 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: think it's true? Number two? Do you think it's right? 99 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: Two fronts on that. So basically what's happening Donald Trump 100 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: is denying it. We're not sending troops there. We are, 101 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: in fact sending some marines to the Middle East. I 102 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: believe it's over a couple thousand on Israel's side. Net 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: and Yahoo is saying that the next stage of the 104 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: war will require some ground operations. My personal view on this, 105 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: I think I don't think Trump would be able to 106 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: deploy troops and still maintain favor both with the voters 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: and especially with Congress. I do think what's going to 108 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: probably happen is we could see some targeted precision strikes 109 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: using special operations forces if they're going to if there's 110 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: going to be ground operations, I'd imagine Trump is going 111 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: to want to have Israel handle that, not US, and 112 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 2: I would imagine the US Marines are going to be 113 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: more like base security, maintaining security around our facilities there. 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: That's how I see this going. 115 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: You know, CNN had a poll out saying that their 116 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: poll ninety nine percent of I'm sorry, I'm wrong one 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: of MAGA voters are in favor of what Trump is doing. 118 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: There are some MAGA people. I don't even know what 119 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: MAG is anymore. I know I grew up MAG. I 120 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: know Steve Benn is my original gangster true North maga. 121 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: But now I'm not really sure what it is because 122 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: it feels like some Tucker Carlson. I give you one, 123 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Tucker Megan Kelly. Are they maga anymore? Where is this 124 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: bifurcation in the conservative voice? 125 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of different views in the conservative 126 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: movement right now. I would disagree with CNN's poll. I mean, 127 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, like the Tucker camp and a lot 128 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: of others I think very much don't support this. I 129 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 2: do think there's different views on it. I think among 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: conservatives there's a lot of people who just don't believe 131 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: in that we should be intervening in global conflicts like this, 132 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: or to what extent should we. Some of them believe that, 133 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: you know, maybe a certain degree of it. Okay, destroy 134 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: the destroy the ability of Iran to build a nuclear weapon, 135 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: get out. We don't want to see us involved in 136 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: nation building or you know, regime change in some instances. 137 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of MAGA folks on that side. 138 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: A lot of others are against the military industrial complex. 139 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: They're worried this is about business, not about not about 140 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: actual national security. But if you were to ask me, 141 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: I think this ties into broader conflicts. I personally believe 142 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: that eliminating Iran is necessary to kind of blunt the 143 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: China threat. 144 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Allow eliminating Iran to what extent. 145 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: Well, in my opinion, when I talk about eliminating Iran, 146 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: I mean eliminating the Iranian regime. Iran is in. It 147 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: is an interesting target right now because first of all, 148 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: they're one of the triads of the CCP's kind of 149 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: global influence China, Russia, Iran, and then you have peripheral 150 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: powers North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil actually to an extent, Pakistan, 151 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: handful of other countries Cuba who kind of play the 152 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: periphery role. But the three main ones are Iran, Russia, 153 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: and China. And on the CCP's kind of global front 154 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: and their plans, including war plans, including bricks, including you know, 155 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: large scale globalist economic plans in the multipolar world order 156 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: as they call it, Iran plays a really core role. 157 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: Iran is kind of that the puppeteer of the global 158 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: black market. You know, a lot of a lot of cartels, 159 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: a lot of drug operations tie very much into terrorism, 160 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: you know, trafficking, money laundering. It's all kind of intertwined, 161 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: and especially when it comes to being able to use 162 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: terrorism is a way to extend power throughout the Middle 163 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: East and even within different communities in Europe, you know, 164 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: terroristic communities. In the United States, Iran is a real 165 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: kind of core piece to that strategy and in Latin 166 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: America actually, and so I think Trump right now, they're 167 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: trying to eliminate leadership that they view as a threat, 168 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: and they're viewing the people of Iran as being opposed 169 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: to leadership to a good enough extent where they could 170 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: do nation or let's say, regime change without needing like 171 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: an Afghanistan level occupation. 172 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Josh, I'm gonna give you a conclusion I have and 173 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,239 Speaker 1: I'll give you my I'll show you my work right afterwards. 174 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: I believe the Middle East is absolutely fine with what's 175 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: going on Saudi bah Rain, Oman, Iraq, others, Kuwait. Because 176 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: you give one hundred dollars barrel of oil on WTI 177 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: Brent one hundred and twelve dollars bar Now, I'll give 178 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: you my work. Middle He says, go Trump, we got 179 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: you back. Yes, sa'dy raby go Trump hit them. We 180 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: hate Iran, Europe, yes, love it. We're you gonna help us. No, No, 181 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: you keep going and CCP and Russia sits back and 182 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: goes go ahead, Trump, spend the billions, spend the billions 183 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: upon billions, and deplete your your assets, your your military assets. 184 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: We're good with that too. Who wins in any of this? 185 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: If we do win, they all win, right, And what 186 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: do we do? We just always end up holding the bag? 187 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? It is. 188 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: It is a problem for the United States, And basically 189 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: we tend to pull the weight of the free world. 190 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: NATO does not pull its weight. Canada does not pull 191 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 2: its weight. As you mentioned, the Middle Eastern Powers, even 192 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: though they're actually supporting front pretty heavily or not really 193 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: doing much to actually do anything. Frankly, and Iran is 194 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: acting very crazy right now. You know, they're launching attacks, 195 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: and Katar the launching attacks in Saudi Arabia basically like 196 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: something just lashing out wildly. And unfortunately, you're right, we're 197 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: also burning our munitions. We don't we don't make them 198 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: quickly enough to actually resupply in terms of the way. 199 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: That that's my point, Josh, that's my point. Where we're 200 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: spending our treasure, we're depleting our resources China is more 201 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: than happy with that, Russia is very happy with that, 202 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: the Middle Easterns are happy with one hundred dollars barrel 203 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: of oil, and European Union is like, what the hell 204 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: we going to do? We don't get involved, I mean, 205 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: want to get our hands dirty. So we're always the 206 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: ones spending the money, spending the treasure, risking our lives, 207 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: and everyone else benefits from it. It's just it's just 208 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: at some point we you know, Trum's good at this, 209 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: at some point like we're out of here, you know 210 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna help or we're gone. Final thought. 211 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you're spot on. I think also 212 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: that's kind of where the mixed views among the MAGA 213 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: community are. On one side, a lot of Americans, look, 214 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: we don't want we don't want I Rock part two. 215 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: We don't want Afghanistan Part two. We don't want to 216 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: do nation building, we don't want troops on the ground. 217 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: At the same time, Trump does know how to handle 218 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: our so called allies that when they're not pulling their weight, 219 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: he'll love it terrorfor them's allies. 220 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: You are one smart young man. I love this, Joshua. 221 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: I gotta go, but I gotta get you back, Joshua Phillips, 222 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: Senior investigative reporter. Epic. By the way, people say epic 223 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: and epoch, what do you say. 224 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: It's it's either British pronunciation is epoch. Us pronunciation is epic. 225 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: All right, epic times there, All right, Thank you, Joshua, 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Hey, folks, take a look at this. 227 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something that's becoming very very clear 228 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: right now. There are millions of places online to argue 229 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: about politics, but there are almost none where people talk 230 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: honestly about winning at life. That's why I built The Edge. 231 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: It's a non political zone focused on performance, money, health, discipline, 232 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: and longevity. And the response has been nothing short of incredible. 233 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: Just a few months, the channel is approaching two million 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: views or over twelve thousand subscribers and more than sixty 235 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: five thousand hours of watch time. And that last number 236 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: matters the most because it means people aren't just scrolling 237 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: past the Edge, they're stopping, sitting down and actually engaging 238 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: with real conversations.

In two thousand 246 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: and six, twenty years ago, twenty thousand dollars. Twenty years ago, 247 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars equally roughly thirty three ounces of gold 248 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: that spot priced at the time. Today, those same thirty 249 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: three ounces at today's prices will be worth about one 250 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. Look at that increase. Amazing. 251 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious medals, 252 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: and that's why you need to consider buying gold from 253 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: my friends at Birch Gold Group.

Again the word is America, and text 266 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: that to nine eight nine eight nine eight. Today a 267 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: right serious question. Is the mainstream media actually rooting against 268 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: America right now? I'm really asking this question because it 269 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: sure looks that way, talking about the unwavering determination of 270 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: the regime. What are you talking about? If you've been 271 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: watching or reading some of the coverage lately, you might 272 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: think that the US is the villain in the story 273 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: and the Iranian regime is some sort of scrappy underdog 274 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: in a Disney movie. It's right. The same Marianian regime 275 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: that wishes death to America wants a nuclear weapon so 276 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: they can wipe out Western infidels US in Israel right here. 277 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: What's right is that the tone is all wrong. Look 278 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: at the tone ABC News. Iran is fighting back, portraying 279 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: their almost gallant defense, quoting ABC News, even as Iran 280 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: has been pummeled by Israelian American air strikes. With its 281 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: military capabilities greatly diminished, Tehran continues to demonstrate resolve what 282 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: like there're some sort of plucky rebels and star wars. 283 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: Interesting because last I checked, the Iranian regime isn't exactly 284 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: like Luke Skywalker. Reminder, this is the government that funds Hesbola, 285 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: that backs hamas, that jails women for not wearing a headscarf, 286 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: and executes political dissidents and protesters like a wrestler, nineteen 287 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: year old wrestler. Think about it. The left and the 288 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: media they own are actually rooting for a regime that 289 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: publicly executed a nineteen year old champion wrestler in a 290 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: public hanging Thursday, along with two other protesters. They hung 291 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: a nineteen year old athlete because he dared to protest 292 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: in public hanging public just for protesting against a tyrannical regime. 293 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Where's Greta Thunberg? Where are the marches? Nothing to say 294 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: liberal colleges in America, but sure ABC tell us more 295 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: about their heroic struggle. You turn on the news and 296 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: somehow the narratives that Iran is what winning, thriving, holding 297 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: strong really because out in the real world, the Ranian 298 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: regime is getting pummeled and they can barely provide for 299 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: their own people. Their leadership is under serious pressure, whatever's 300 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: left of it. That is, by the way, it's the 301 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: least popular job in Iran right now, leadership. But you 302 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't know it watching the mainstream media turn on the 303 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: coverage and it's as if Iran is the must misunderstood underdog. 304 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean bearing success this effectively ex e for. That's 305 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: not bias, that's commitment they are. They're not even trying 306 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: to report the story anymore, or they're rooting for a 307 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: different ending. I guess because Trump is president, I don't know. 308 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: And apparently to the left, the IOLA is now the protagonist. 309 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: We're just waiting for Javier Bardem and Sean Penn to 310 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: act in the next year's Oscar winning about US soldiers 311 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: who heroically joined the IRGC against America. You aff expect 312 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: the next segment to include some slow motion montage of 313 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: Iranian missiles launching with inspirational music in the background. Voiceoverreads 314 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: against all odds, Tehran rises up against the evil of 315 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: Israel and America. Well, yeah, right right. Instead they chant 316 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: death to America, question government policy, sure, especially after what 317 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: happened Interact two days ago, two decades ago. Of course, 318 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: debate war. It's a healthy democracy, debate all for debate 319 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: is it right? I don't know for is right, but 320 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: we should have a debate in open But the coverage 321 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: from our mainstream media sounds like wanting America to lose, 322 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: and when they get called out, they cry like babies. 323 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: Brian Stelter, of course, is the face of their collective 324 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: tears over being accused of being so un American, which 325 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: of course they are. 326 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Trump and his allies are trying to smear news outlets 327 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 3: as being on patriotic for independently covering in the Iran war. 328 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: But history shows that most people see through that kind 329 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: of rhetoric. Most people want and expect the press corps 330 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: to provide independent coverage, independent scrutiny of what is going 331 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: on when lives. 332 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: Are at stake, Nice, try stealthy, or, as Handy used 333 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: to call them, humpty dumpty. Remember, we actually defend and 334 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: protect the constitution. We've lost live countless lives, thousands of 335 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of lives protecting our constitutions, so we 336 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: actually know what it's really all about. There's scrutiny, there's 337 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: independent coverage, and then there's what these guys are doing, 338 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: which smells an awful like treason to me, and at 339 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: times incitement. It's like emotional support journalism for regimes openly 340 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: hating America. On the day of the Oscars, the New 341 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: York Times put out a piece practically begging for actors 342 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: to call out President Trump. They call them authoritarian, and 343 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: they say that a mass resistance in uprising is needed 344 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: New York Times, New York America Times, uprising is needed. 345 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: Where at war they talk about Hitler the Nazis in 346 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: the same breath as President Trump. Hey, Brian Stelter, does 347 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: that sound like impartial scrutiny to you? A week ago, 348 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: CNN aired over four minutes of uninterrupted Iranian state television. 349 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: But just weeks earlier, CNN, along with their leftist media 350 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: friends over at MS NOW, refused to air President Trump 351 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: and Angel family testimonies. Hey, Brian Stelter, what was that 352 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: again about impartial and independent? I don't think so. They're 353 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: so desperate to make it seem like Republicans are fractured 354 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: over the war. Maybe we are, but we're still behind America. 355 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: All of US, mostly because they so badly want them 356 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: to be the ones to serve their agenda. But again 357 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: they're wrong. 358 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: Okay, MACA GOP on the US military action Irun. 359 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: Look at this. 360 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 4: Nearly nine to ten eighty nine percent approve of the 361 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: US military action around that is the MAGA GOP base. 362 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 4: Just nine percent disapprove of it. This is tremendously popular 363 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: among the Republican base. 364 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: It's called love of country. Democrats should try it sometimes. Seriously, 365 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: why do Democrats always want America's military to fail in 366 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: its assigned missions if a Republican is a president. And 367 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: don't get me started with these Marxists crying snowflake tears 368 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: about the uprising in Cuba. People in Cuba are protecting, protesting, 369 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry against decades of communist rule, risking the rest prison, 370 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: and the American communists are devastated, wearing their best castro 371 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: t shirts and crying Viva Communism. These people right now 372 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: would cry about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Would 373 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 1: somebody say something like, let's hear both sides of the wall. 374 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: Authoritarian governments that oppose America get treated by the left 375 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: like misunderstood victims, while the US gets treated like the 376 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: global imperialist villain, fascinating inversion, all while sipping soymucha LTEs 377 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and stapling whatever latest cause they're into today because Soros 378 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: told them to or paid them to. America is about 379 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: debate argument. We can criticize our leaders, our policies, their mistakes. 380 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: In fact, we can do it freely on cable news 381 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: panels slandering the president, comparing him to Hitler during wartime. 382 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: Tried doing that on Aradian television. You wouldn't make it 383 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: out of the studio alive. When coverage starts sounding like 384 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: sympathy for regimes that in prison journalists, maybe it's worth 385 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: them asking themselves, are we reporting the news or are 386 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: we quietly cheering for the other side in the name 387 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: of our collective Trump derangement syndrome? Because of the Ayatola 388 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: ever wins an Emmy for Most Inspiring Resistance Fighter, well 389 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: we'll know exactly how we got there, and that is 390 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: the real story. Also the real story. We just don't 391 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: hate the mainstream media enough. Look at that. Something interesting 392 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: is happening right now and it says a lot about 393 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: where people's heads are. My new show, The Edge, Non 394 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: Political Zone, where we talk about performance money, health, pressure 395 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: and winning is quietly building a serious audience. In just 396 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: a few months, the channel is approaching two million views, 397 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: over twelve thousand subscribers, and more than sixty five thousand 398 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: hours of watch time. Think about that last number for 399 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: a second. It means people aren't just clicking, they're sitting 400 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: down and actually watching the conversations. Because The Edge isn't 401 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: about politics. It's about discipline, longevity, investing, building things, and 402 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: operating at a higher level. The guests reflect that people 403 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: who've operated in real arenas, and the conversations are about 404 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: what it actually takes to perform when the pressure is real. 405 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it yet, just search The Edge 406 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: and Eric Bowling on YouTube.

Welcome back, my friend. Man. It's creeping 418 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: up again, so fast, so fast. Good news though, talk 419 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: to your folks, and maybe if we're not ready for it, 420 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: if we don't get ready by tax day, we can 421 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: file the next extent you with you. 422 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 5: Yes, well, thanks so much for having me on. 423 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 6: Eric. 424 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: Tax Network USA for people who don't know is one 425 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 5: of the nation's leading tax firms. We have a robust 426 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 5: team of CPA's license attorneys, even former IRS agents who 427 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 5: know the tax code inside and out. Because Eric, the 428 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 5: average individual doesn't know the tax code. That's why it's 429 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 5: so important to have professionals in your corner so you 430 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 5: know what your options are. A lot of people during 431 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: this tax season call us. They're too afraid, they've panicked, 432 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 5: they've thrown those letters at a drawer. They don't even 433 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 5: know where to start or what their situation is. Maybe 434 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 5: they don't have all the necessary documentation in order, and 435 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 5: that's really where we come in to help you. We 436 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 5: offer a free consultation for anybody who calls us. Also, 437 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 5: a free discovery call where we just dive into your 438 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 5: picture a little bit more to understand your case. That 439 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 5: way we can build a case for you for this 440 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 5: upcoming tax season. 441 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: So you said, if you don't have the necessary documents, 442 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: what if you don't have necessary funds, what happens? 443 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, Eric, I think a lot of Americans 444 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: are in this position right now, and the worst thing 445 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 5: somebody could do, like I said, is panic or just 446 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 5: ignore it completely. The IRS does have programs in place 447 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 5: for people who genuinely cannot afford to pay their full balance. 448 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 5: That can look like installment agreements where you pay over 449 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 5: time currently not collectible status where collections are temporarily paused, 450 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 5: or in some cases offers and compromise where the debt 451 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 5: can be reduced. But here's the key. None of these 452 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 5: are automatic. They're based on your full financial picture and 453 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: how your situation is presented. So that's why having professionals 454 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 5: in your corner matters, because one misstep or one missing 455 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 5: document could potentially cost you thousands. 456 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, CAAM one minute or so left. What should people 457 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: do right now if they're going to owe money? 458 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 5: Well, well you have to act. I think a lot 459 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: of people we're seeing just don't have the urgency. I mean, 460 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 5: this tax deadline is right around the corner, and what 461 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 5: may seem manageable in April could potentially snowball and become 462 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 5: worse over time. So if you owe and you don't 463 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 5: know what you owe, maybe you don't know where to 464 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 5: start or how to file, go to one eight hundred 465 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 5: nine zero five eight thousand, or go to TNUSA dot 466 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 5: com slash rab. I'll repeat the number again. It's one 467 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 5: eight hundred nine zero five eight thousand. Just talk to 468 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 5: one of our team members directly. Like I said, Eric, 469 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: it's completely free. There's nothing bad that could happen right 470 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 5: to get you know, for somebody to know your full 471 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 5: financial picture and just to see where to go from there, no. 472 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: Risk, I'm no obligation. Just give them a call. Call 473 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: call the folks, the Texts Network USA and Tom Cameron 474 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: Kinsey saying you Cameron, really good to see you. I 475 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: see you have a great weekend. I'll see you next week. 476 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 5: Thanks goodness. 477 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: All right, folks, Unlike in so many countries run by 478 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: terrorist regimes, you know the same ones that the left 479 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: seems to insist on signing with against America, you actually 480 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: can choose who you marry. For example, New York City 481 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: Mayor Zoraan Mamdani's wife has had to delete her old 482 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: Twitter or ex account because of the amount of homophobic, 483 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: anti Semitic, and pro terrorists posts that she was posting. 484 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: It got overwhelming for them to deal with. Mom Dami 485 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: defends his wife by insisting she's not a public figure. 486 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: But I don't know a lot of private citizens who 487 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: pose for New York magazine? Do you? 488 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 7: Is it anybody's business and is it fair to question 489 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 7: you about it? 490 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 8: You know, my wife is the love of my life, 491 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 8: and she's also a private person who has held no 492 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 8: formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. I, however, 493 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 8: was elected to represent all eight and a half million 494 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 8: people in the city, and I believe that it's my responsibility, 495 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 8: because of that role, to answer any questions about my 496 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 8: thoughts and my policies and decisions. 497 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: She was tweeting the end word, yeah, the wife New 498 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: York City mayor. And yet he's silent on it because 499 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: the reporters who defend him won't ask him about these 500 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: new posts that have come out, and his wife has 501 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: yet to denounce the post which include her like I 502 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: just said, using the end and praising Palestinian terrorists and 503 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: liking content celebrating the October seventh attacks, also calling them 504 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: a mass rape hoax. Sounds lovely. Lovely woman you're married 505 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: to there, Zoran. If she were nine years old, they'd 506 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: be lining her up in Afghanistan, if you know what 507 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. At California Governor Gavin Newsom's wife should 508 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: probably say less things too. When you look up woke 509 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: liberal woman in the dictionary, her image pops up, for sure. 510 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: And when he makes his pathetic run for president in 511 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, comments like this I referred to him 512 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: earlier comments like this probably hurt him both. 513 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 9: What I will say is that I don't know if 514 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 9: our country is ready for first partner. Okay, sadly, I 515 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 9: don't know if they are. I'd like to think, and 516 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 9: I'm going to work really, really, really really hard for 517 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 9: people to see what's been rendered invisible and devalued in 518 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 9: our society and to go, oh, that's actually important. It's 519 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 9: not always a one and behind a man, but the 520 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 9: partnership is what's important. And then partnership will make the 521 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 9: world go around. If not me, hopefully somebody someday will 522 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 9: continue to assert and stand up so that more people 523 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 9: see the value of the partnership and the value of 524 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 9: the care and that that person, whether it's a man 525 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 9: or a woman, you know, gender and not conforming individual, 526 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 9: that they're critical to that person's success. 527 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: If more people can see the value of like that 528 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: like partnership, like what is that? What that for the 529 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: first lady? How about Milanie Trump? Compare her to Milinie 530 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: Trump for just say I digress. Those comments, by the way, 531 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty three. But Newsom's life oh sorry, 532 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: his non gender conforming partner also has some interesting views 533 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. In other words, nothing's changed, it's 534 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: only getting worse. 535 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 9: There's so much to learn from same sex couples who 536 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 9: have learned to communicate and who also are like, well, look, 537 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 9: you know someone's got to do the care work and 538 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 9: name sex mail couple, Someone's got to do that. So 539 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 9: I'm just going to do it. And this is like 540 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 9: and not be afraid or a shame because it's part 541 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 9: of being human. 542 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: We're all on a spectrum. 543 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 9: Right, It's just how society kind of pushes us and 544 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 9: pressures us into these limiting gender Roles. But again, the 545 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 9: folks on the far right they're missing is just this. 546 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 9: They're living in this silo, this evangelical conservative silo that 547 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 9: ultimately is it's just pulling us back as a country 548 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 9: to a time and a place where we don't deserve 549 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 9: to be. 550 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, pulling us back as a country to be honest. 551 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom isn't faring that much better in the cringe department, 552 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: sounding more and more ridiculous as the days and weeks 553 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: go on. Let's just say, Gavin that I don't think 554 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: make pollution great again is going to catch on. 555 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 10: They want to make pollution great again. 556 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: That's what this is about. 557 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 10: And all the while they get theirs, they get the 558 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 10: buck or was it a billion dollars? That's what Trump 559 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 10: specifically asked a big oil in order to do this. 560 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 10: He said it on tape. I wasn't hijacked by Sora. 561 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 10: It's you know, it's not an ai. It's what he said. 562 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 10: He got his and you're gonna get yours. 563 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: Milson great again. How about you clean up homelesses? He 564 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: promised been doing that for thirty years, You said you 565 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: were gonna do it. It's always wild to see when someone 566 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: on CNN has no choice but to call out how 567 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: ridiculous Democrats are being on the Save America Act. Another 568 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: rare moment of journalism coming from Jake Tapper here. Not 569 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: to give him too much credit today, but sometimes you 570 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: just have to call out those Democrats. Here's what the 571 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: bill actually says. 572 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 11: Would be acceptable proof of citizenship for voting under this law. 573 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 11: A real ID ID card, a valid US passport, an 574 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 11: official US military ID card along with a record of 575 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 11: service showing a US birthplace, a government issued photo ID 576 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 11: card showing a US birthplace or paired with a birth certificate, 577 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 11: an adoption decree, report of birth abroad, naturalization certificate, or 578 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 11: American Indian Card. I understand this bill includes a lot 579 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 11: more than just the documentation requirements, but a lot of 580 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 11: Americans might hear that list and think that's a lot 581 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 11: of options and wonder did Democrats have an issue with 582 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 11: voter ID in general or just this specific voter ID bill. 583 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to get to two more. I just 584 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: have to do this. We should just let Democrat Texas 585 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: send it. Candidate James tallerco lunatic, progressive, leftist white guy 586 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: say things as often as possible the more he does, 587 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: the more he's revealed to be a poster boy for 588 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: his party. Awoke, illegal, loving America hating snowflake. You know 589 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: this t him. 590 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 12: Before I was a politician, I was a public school 591 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 12: teacher in San Antonio, Texas, on the west side of 592 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 12: the city, and I taught a lot of undocumented students. 593 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 12: And those students tend to to be my most patriotic students. 594 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 12: They they understood something about this country that a lot 595 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 12: of us who are native born forget that this is 596 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 12: supposed to be the land of opportunity. 597 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: I tell her, because they're not in the they're patriot 598 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: because they're patriotic to their own country, I assume, not America. Right. 599 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: We had to do this, save the best for lasses. 600 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: As Ben would say, an iconic moment in politics. I 601 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: think we all get enough of this moment. Not ever 602 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: get enough of this moment, I should say from Thursday 603 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: there as in Ben, and likely never will be a 604 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: president who says exactly what everyone is thinking. But those 605 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: people they don't have the nerve to do it for 606 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: this guy, this guy watch. 607 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 13: Of course, no, Japan and US are a very good friend. 608 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 13: But one question, why didn't you tell US allies in 609 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 13: Europe and Asia like Japan about the war before. If 610 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 13: thinking you're so we are confused about well. 611 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 6: One thing, you don't want to signal too much. You know, 612 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 6: when we go in, we went in very hard and 613 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 6: we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. 614 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 14: Who knows better about surprise than Japan? 615 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 8: Hey, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? 616 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Okay, right, Yeah, that's gonna go down as the best 617 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: presidential line I believe in the history of presidential comments. 618 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: Who knows better about surprises in Jaman? Why did you 619 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: tell us about Pearl Harbor? Well, yes, you mean for 620 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: We'll be back two and a half minutes. I just 621 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: want to ask a question. I want to give an answer, 622 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: not asking for an answer, at least not yet. What 623 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: does American citizenship actually me? Is it something you earn, 624 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: something you agree to, or is it just where you 625 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: happen to be when the baby is born? Because right 626 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: now kind of looks like it's just the last one. 627 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: Looks like geography isn't just part of the equation, it's 628 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: the whole damn equation itself. Did you know that there's 629 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: an entire industry and I mean a real, thriving industry 630 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: built around one simple idea. You fly in from another country, 631 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: you're a foreigner, you have a baby, and you fly home, 632 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: and just like that, you've got an American citizen. You've 633 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: secured an American passport for your newborn. No long term ties, 634 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: no real connection to the country, no participation to the country, 635 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: no buy into America. Just right place, right time, so 636 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: to speak, just good timing and a plane ticket. So now, 637 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: if that's how citizenship works, not through consent or contribution, 638 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: not through any real relationship, then what are we even 639 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: talking about. Is it a right or has it quietly 640 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: drifted into something you can just game? Because when you 641 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: start this turning into a full service packages, all bundled 642 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: together thing, flights, housing, hospitals, all with citizenship as the endgame, 643 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: then what does it become. It's not citizenship anymore. It's 644 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: a loophole. It's not random, it's a business. Folks are 645 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: working the system, and that's just how these people work. 646 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: When something can be systematically and systemically by the way worked, 647 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: it will be and it's being worked as we speak. 648 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: They're working our system. It's not controversial. That's human nature. 649 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: That's economics. This isn't really about anyone family or anyone child. 650 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: It's about the structure itself. What happens when a government 651 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: creates a rule that can be used and packaged and sold. 652 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: What is American citizenship actually worth to us? Is that 653 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: even a feature? Because I think it's a signal that 654 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: the incentives might be a little off here. The fourteenth 655 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: Amendment was written in a very specific moment to solve 656 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: a very specific problem, and like a lot of government policy, 657 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 1: when you take it out of that moment and you 658 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: drop it into a globalized, highly mobile world, you lose 659 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: the original intent. You get new outcomes, sometimes unintended ones. 660 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: So let's not tiptoe around the question should citizenship be 661 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: automatic or should it be more than just timing and geography, 662 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: because if it's purely automatic, then apparently it can be 663 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: triggered by a plane ticket and a delivery room. Then 664 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: we're not really defining citizenship. We're just making it available, 665 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: easy to access, easy to gain the system, and then 666 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: you just get more people figuring out how to qualify. 667 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: That's just how incentives work. So before this turns into 668 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: the usual left versus right argument, maybe we ask a 669 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: more basic question, which is what is citizenship supposed to 670 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: represent and our culture current rules? Are they really doing that? 671 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: What does American citizenship actually mean? There is right now 672 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: a system in this country where Chinese nationals buy a package, 673 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: they buy a plane, ticke ticket, they buy housing, they 674 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,919 Speaker 1: buy the hospital bed. When that baby is born, they 675 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: fly back and they fly back with a brand new 676 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: CCP American citizen. Wow Wow, Benny. Can we talk a 677 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: little bit about how to subscribe to the Edge.

A lot 721 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: of tensions with Iran. We have two aircraft carriers destroyer groups, 722 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: and we have a whole lot of aircraft waiting to 723 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 1: possibly attack Iran. That may happen. That's why the oil 724 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 1: markets stays strong. 725 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 6: For a short time ago, the United States military began 726 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 6: major combat operations in Iran, so. 727 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: Oil immediately jumped seven dollars a barrel. Some of the 728 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: threats within the Strait of Horror moves the big oil 729 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: shipping channel, also causing oil prices to jump twenty percent 730 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, goes through that little tiny channel. 731 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: Problem is Iran in the past has put depth charges, 732 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: they put bombs under the water. 733 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 14: A US owed oil tanker targeted in the Strait of Horn. 734 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: Moons, I predict.

Further 738 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 6: action to reduce pressure on oil is eminent. 739 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 1: We're going to be in four dollars gasoline territory within 740 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: a week or so. 741 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 13: Gasoline prices have climbed from three to eleven to three 742 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 13: point fifty four, up forty three cents. 743 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: The only smart solution so we don't get into this 744 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: predicament again is the one that we've been talking about. 745 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: You and I right here on the show is never 746 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: going to be depending on another drop of foreign oil 747 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: ever again. And our oil companies are going to love it. 748 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: The mouse. 749 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 16: And we begin tonight with the president's emergency move to 750 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 16: slow the surgeon gas prices in America. President Trump late 751 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 16: today announcing he plans to tap into the strategic petroleum reserves. 752 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if our tankers or our ships are 753 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: going to escore tankers through the strait. These guys can 754 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: go under the water with submarines. No one in the 755 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: right mind is going to take a crew and three 756 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: hundred members through that straight Every day we're monitoring and 757 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: operating ships through the straits of Home lows. How many 758 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: probably at least twenty a month old? Now how many? 759 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 9: Now? 760 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: Oh? 761 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 8: Zero? 762 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: Right? All right, we rolled that because over the last 763 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: two weeks or so, I've appeared on Bannon's war Room 764 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: quite a few times, nine or ten times, and so 765 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: many things that Steve and I talked about would come 766 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: true a day later, two days later, three days later. 767 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: Let's bring in the host, the hardest working man in television, 768 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: Stephen K. Bannon. Stephen, it's amazing how many things that 769 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: we talked about on your show in the morning primarily 770 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: ended up happening later on down the road. And we amazing. 771 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: It's we're over the target, as they say, right, no, no, no, no, 772 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 1: it's not. 773 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 7: It's not amazing. Tell people the reason, because I've known 774 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 7: you for a long time, right, and I knew as 775 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 7: soon as this thing was happening. It's like, if you 776 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 7: want to know how markets move in these commodity markets, 777 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 7: you can't talk to the investment bankers, you can't talk 778 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 7: to the lenders. You've got to get into the pits 779 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 7: and talk to people that trade comedities. And I know 780 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 7: that you were trader for I don't know ten twelve 781 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 7: years in the New York Mercantile, which is a snake pit. 782 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 7: So that's you and I just started talking. I realized, hey, 783 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 7: this guy's got tremendous insights, all of your insights, and you're. 784 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 1: It would be correct. 785 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 7: You would say something and then that afternoon of the 786 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 7: next day it would come true. I think one of 787 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 7: the best ones was we talked. You said, hey, look, 788 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 7: people should realize there's an alternative. It's not perfect, but 789 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 7: there is a little alternative to the to, the UH 790 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 7: to going through the straight or horror moves, and that 791 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 7: is uh. You know this pipeline that's you know, can 792 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 7: take seven million barrels a day. I think it's at 793 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 7: five million, and it goes to the Red Sea. That's 794 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 7: tough too, and eventually that'll be a target. That afternoon 795 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 7: they targeted. So I think between my experience in as 796 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 7: a naval officer in the Persian golf and trader mus 797 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 7: and then your really amazing understanding of markets and what 798 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 7: this means has been pretty powerful. 799 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: I think it's been I think it's been great. I 800 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: went back over and. 801 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 7: Looked at everything the day in preparation for this. It's 802 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 7: been pretty amazing. 803 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. And the thing is the next shooting drop, 804 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: so to speak. Is how it affects the middle class, 805 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: how it affects the American economy going forward. It's gonna 806 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: get ugly, It's gonna get We can talk about that 807 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: another time. But Stephen, your skill is that the war strategy, 808 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: the minds of geopolitics, and when these two things come together, man, 809 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,760 Speaker 1: it has impact. Here's my concern, Mission creep, right, Mission creep. 810 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: Now we heard, we understood this was about degrading Iran's 811 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: ability to deliver a nuclear weapon. Then it kind of 812 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,720 Speaker 1: became well, while we're here, we got these crazy molas 813 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: that want to death through America and Israel. Let's get 814 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: rid of them. And now my concern here, Steve, is 815 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: yesterday Bibi Yahu, I don't know what the hell he 816 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: was thinking. He comes out and says, hey, it would 817 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: be really cool to get some of that Iranian oil 818 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: to pass through Israel. What do you think it or not? Stephen? 819 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: Should he be saying something like that on Israeli national television? Maybe? 820 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just I thought it was 821 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: very bad. 822 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 7: Here's what I think, and people think about how you 823 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 7: have these situations evolve. It's like in Vietnam. It's like 824 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 7: the global warrant terrors where the enemy gets a vote. 825 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 7: Remember the starter, and they had a very strict military 826 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 7: set of objectives, right and Sencom and General Kine were magnificent, 827 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 7: as we had Captain Fanelon who was a targeteer and 828 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 7: talking about methodically going down and taking out their command 829 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 7: and control, taking out their ability to produce nuclear weapons, 830 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 7: ballistic missiles, their industrial capacity. But you know, the Mullahs 831 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 7: and the and the Ietola and particularly the Revolutionary Guard 832 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 7: get a vote. They immediately And part of this was 833 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 7: tied to Israel going on that Saturday night and going 834 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 7: and hitting those oil deposits and refineries and holding tanks 835 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 7: in Tehran, which the President of the United States had 836 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 7: directly ordered them to. I don't want to touch any 837 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 7: of that because I want to show, I want to 838 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 7: show I want to start a revolution here and show 839 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 7: these people they're going to have a future. The enemy 840 00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 7: gets a vote, and they went asymmetric. 841 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: Uh. 842 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 7: And it says this is where the oil came in 843 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 7: and every day, and of course we had the situation 844 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 7: with the Israelis the other day attacking that gas field 845 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,959 Speaker 7: that is jointly managed and owned between Cutter and and 846 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 7: and the Iranians, and they hit it, and the Iranians 847 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 7: hit Cutter and President Trump my understanding, he went ballistic 848 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 7: on this because he's got a standing order that's not 849 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 7: to be hit. And now as you told us, you know, 850 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 7: you got Cutter actually talking about potential force majeure on 851 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 7: contracts that are five years out. This is why we 852 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 7: have so much turmol. And even as we speak, CBS 853 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 7: News reported this afternoon and now other news sites that 854 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,839 Speaker 7: the Pentagon is and we're the first block of ours 855 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 7: is going to focus on this. Eric is focused very 856 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 7: much now on a ground operation that would seize control 857 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 7: of either carg Island and maybe some of the some 858 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 7: of the some of the you. 859 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 14: Know, the the the the. 860 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 7: Positions down near the Strait of Hormuz where these rockets 861 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 7: and missiles are located. In some of these try they're 862 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 7: almost like hutis are dug in there. So I'm not 863 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 7: saying it's gonna happen, but we've deployed now a marine 864 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 7: expedition unit from San Diego. We got a marine expeditionary 865 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 7: unit going for our amphibious Ready group from on the 866 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,879 Speaker 7: tripa league going from Japan. You're gonna have about five 867 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 7: thousand combat marines with appropriate backup of helicopters and logistics 868 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,919 Speaker 7: to make a move into the Persian Gulf, which that's 869 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 7: expanding this war. 870 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: Well, one of the few people, folks who you'll hear 871 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: are anywhere, Steve Bannon has been in the situation where 872 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,919 Speaker 1: he's tell me the theory, the mentality behind let's allow 873 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: o Uranians to sell some oil here, or let's allow 874 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: some Marianium ships to navigate this straight from what Steve, 875 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: why would we give hand literally hand on a pallette 876 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: billions of dollars Petro. 877 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 7: I'm gonna ask, hang on, hang on, I'm gonna ask 878 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 7: Eric bowing that because Scott Bessen's a pretty steady hand. 879 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 7: And look, I've argued from day one, having been there before, 880 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 7: we could do a naval quarantine or blockade. When you 881 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 7: come out into the Gulf of Oman outside the Straight 882 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 7: of hor moves before you hit the North Arabian Sea 883 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 7: in the Indian Ocean, we could blockade that. Now, we 884 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 7: could have a quarantine, we could seize it all, turn 885 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 7: it around, do what we want. I've advocated that, as 886 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 7: you know, there's certain we understand now that there's certain 887 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 7: the CCP flag that China flag ships get to go through. 888 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 7: And I'm saying, why if we're fighting these guys, why 889 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 7: are we letting them have any cash at all? We 890 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 7: brought them to their knees when Scott went after their 891 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 7: currency back in late January. What I think, and I'm 892 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 7: asking you because they're also talking about another draw down 893 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 7: of the strategy patrollum reserve. Scott said this, so I 894 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 7: think it's one hundred. 895 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: And forty million barrels that is flash. 896 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 7: He's saying it that, it's it's it'll help, it'll tell 897 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 7: okay the audience. 898 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: I think he was on your show nine days in 899 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: a row, and ten out of eleven days we talked 900 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: about this. From from the these strategic reserve drawdowns never worked. 901 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: They've never They didn't work for Clinton, they didn't work 902 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: for Bush, they didn't work for Biden. They were for Obama, 903 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 1: they frankly were for Trump. This time. It's not it 904 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 1: doesn't there's not enough oil. It's not a problem of 905 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: location of oil for the United States. It's a problem 906 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: that all that oil is being backlogged and these refineries, 907 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 1: this production is being shut in, and these sobs and 908 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 1: the Middle East. Steven, you don't want to jump into 909 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: this conspiracy theory with me, because I test you a 910 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: little bit. I test you a little bit. These sobs 911 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, these Arabs are loving one hundred 912 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: dollars WTI one hundred and twelve dollars brent, which we 913 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: saw today. They're loving it to the point where we're 914 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: going to really really take our time reopening the refiners 915 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: and the production, pulling oil out of the ground, because 916 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: that will keep the price elevated going forward. Otherwise you'd 917 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: come right back down immediately as soon as it was 918 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,879 Speaker 1: all clear. Explain that to people. 919 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 7: I think it's very important about lifting costs and all that. 920 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 7: The Saudi's have had major cash problems. Okay, they're pretty 921 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 7: leverage right now. They've tried all this investment in technology 922 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 7: that we're going to build that
