00:00:00.000So imagine this scenario. Election day is approaching. The White House is fear-mongering
00:00:05.140about supposed election fraud, right? This is not hard to imagine. White House is fear-mongering
00:00:11.080about election fraud. But then they decide they're going to encourage vigilantes to take action to
00:00:16.900stop this supposed fraud. So Trump supporters decide that they're going to do citizen patrols
00:00:22.720of polling places because the Trump White House has been messaging that they should do that.
00:00:26.620And Trump supporters start showing up to do these patrols with guns.
00:00:32.860So now we're getting reports of armed vigilantes at polling places and obviously protests against them and probably confrontations with them.
00:00:42.580In response to those reports, Trump announces that he must keep the peace.
00:00:46.440He must send armed federal agents to polling places to protect the election.
00:00:57.460Here's another scenario. Some foreign countries, say Iran or Russia or China, whoever, some foreign country decides to unleash a wave of AI generated deep fake videos of candidates and other people in American politics.
00:01:13.160And these are fake videos, but they're good. They're good quality. And people don't always recognize that they are fake.
00:01:20.160These fakes are designed to hurt Democratic candidates and Trump critics.
00:01:24.040They're designed to confuse voters and muddy the waters in terms of what's going on in the election.
00:01:29.680When news organizations start reporting on the deep fakes, the Trump administration goes ballistic and starts threatening all news organizations that report on the deep fakes.
00:01:38.780They start telling news organizations that they have to censor any coverage of this foreign influence operation as a matter of national security.
00:01:47.020that's a second scenario what what would we do then here's a third scenario voting's over
00:01:55.680but before the states can certify the results of the vote trump's justice department sends fbi
00:02:02.220agents out to go seize the ballots supposedly to investigate irregularities in election
00:02:08.400administration they seize the ballots before the results are final that's a third scenario what
00:02:15.600would we do then what are the options really practically speaking what are the options for
00:02:22.700protecting our elections from our own federal government that was the question at the center
00:02:27.380of a war gaming session that was held just a few days ago by 10 democratic u.s senators including
00:02:33.180the democratic leader chuck schumer plus several election experts those three scenarios i just
00:02:38.920described they gamed those out those three very specific and not at all unimaginable scenarios
00:02:44.440Politico reported that in these tabletop drills, quote, they game planned legal injunctions to bar armed federal agents or armed citizens from voting sites and lawsuits to force the Trump administration to return ballots if they're confiscated in key contests that could decide control of Congress.
00:03:00.640They also choreographed communication strategies across elected leaders and campaigns and advocacy groups to combat misinformation and disinformation designed to sow distrust in the results.
00:03:11.500I think, number one, they need to prepare to vote, right? They need to understand that the rules may have changed. The registration may be being challenged. We're seeing Donald Trump do that. And so everyone needs to understand the rules and they need to have a plan to vote. Even if they voted before, they need to make out a plan about how they're going to vote this time and make sure they are prepared.
00:03:30.140Number two is they need to be educated.
00:03:33.440I mean, I'm thrilled, Rachel, that you are doing this episode tonight with your enormous audience and people paying attention because it is educating people about the threats that are coming so that they won't be quite as scary.
00:03:46.520They won't seem quite as out of the blue.
00:03:48.420So people need to get educated and to share that information with others.
00:03:53.000I started Democracy Docket actually to be a resource that people could share information from.
00:03:57.160There are lots of good sources of information to share.
00:04:00.020And then finally, if we get down to the place where Republicans or Donald Trump are trying to interfere in the election, then we're going to need people to mobilize.
00:04:09.320We're going to need them to mobilize peacefully.
00:04:11.500We're going to need them to mobilize within the law.
00:04:14.120But we're going to need the public to be prepared to be active in protesting any efforts by the Republicans to overturn the will of the voters.
00:04:25.400Look, the lawyers are going to do a lot of heavy lifting here.
00:04:27.660the political professionals to do a lot of heavy lifting here but it is ultimately on the people
00:04:33.080of the united states to really do their job and if that happens i think we'll be fine
00:04:37.860this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:04:48.940these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:04:55.540had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything
00:04:59.300in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:05:02.300And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media. I wish in my soul,
00:05:08.840I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my
00:05:15.200purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:22.420War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:05:31.140Tuesday, 16 June, Year of the Lord, 2026, the Coalition Voter Fraud Meeting Conference
00:05:37.680started out in Las Vegas last night with a special screening of the new film that's coming
00:05:44.740out that we're going to be a big sponsor of, promoter of Dark Horse, starring Jim Caviezel.
00:05:50.080and Tina Peters made a surprise a surprise guest appearance also Eduardo Bolsonaro and
00:05:58.260much others will have all that throughout the morning and as soon as we get a trailer
00:06:03.380we'll play that also huge events and right there that opening was aimed directly at the Patriots
00:06:11.180out in Las Vegas trust me so we're going to get into more of that throughout the day and this
00:06:16.100evening, I'll be giving some remarks to the Patriots that are out there. I want to start
00:06:21.240in Texas, though, talking about Patriots and a fight. Mary Castle joins us. Mary, thank you for
00:06:26.920teeing us up last night on the evening show, but I wanted to start off the day because today's kind
00:06:32.340of, it's a mini game day, or it's kind of the camps, the mini camps that the pro football
00:06:41.120players go to to get ready for the season. The season's next week, and it's a concentrated season.
00:06:46.920But what's happening today at 8 a.m. Texas time this morning? What started happening? And I want
00:06:53.140to make sure everybody takes your message and activates this morning, ma'am. Yes, at 8 a.m.
00:07:00.200this morning, public testimony registration opened for the State Board of Education meeting
00:07:05.560that will be happening next Monday, June 22nd.
00:08:23.940That will happen possibly Wednesday or Friday on the social studies standards.
00:08:30.000And so it's very important that people make their voices heard to make sure that the members hold the line because left-leaning members do have an opportunity to make their edits and make their changes to the social studies standards.
00:08:45.860We're still going through with a fine-tooth comb, making sure that everything is good and solid for reflecting our American and Texas heritage, making sure there aren't any type of wild ideologies in there.
00:08:58.320But this is the last and final vote for what could be several years to come.
00:09:04.760And if you sign up today, you will be able to sign where you read it.
00:09:08.300It'll be next Monday in Austin, Texas.
00:11:14.280But people do need to be aware that if they're not planning to come, they should, because these left-leaning groups, these radical groups, want to radically, at the last minute, change some of the progress that has been made.
00:16:46.940um we're by we're going to have two um cold opens while we had the one at the top
00:16:55.520uh they're starting the um the fraud convention and focusing on obviously voter fraud with these
00:17:02.920great patriots um also going to do the the party seats from the somalis and things like that but
00:17:09.260met mek and the team um from the coalition at the ahearn hotel last night they uh had a special
00:17:18.940screening of the movie dark horse with my friend jim caviezel and um he was not there he's in europe
00:17:27.060uh making another film right now but uh tina peters made a guest appearance brought down the
00:17:32.920house film got a standing ovation at the edward of balsan i was there quite an event people love
00:17:38.620this movie someone told me that um they had never seen the ahern that uh that quiet for that long
00:17:47.000is is mike up by uh the viceroy joins us by phone yeah the viceroy by phone um mike davis thank you
00:17:54.900for joining us by phone i miss your lovely visage but you know you have you you have to do what you
00:18:00.320have to do in television um i've got a clipper i want to play in a second but a lot's going on i
00:18:06.420I've got to ask you, President Trump, I think he just read, if we can pull that, he just read on television the page and a half memorandum of understanding that it's been signed.
00:18:16.860It's going to be revealed, but I believe he read it in total in a meeting with the UAE in Switzerland.
00:18:25.500Mike, Lindsey Graham, other people are talking about now, they want to review it.
00:18:31.560and uh and and uh tel aviv levin and others are saying it's a treaty they got to get involved the
00:18:38.120senate has to get involved at the same time the fisa situation the president's saying hey look
00:18:43.320fisa's expires not the end of the world but come back to me i want to put the save america act
00:18:48.600attach it and then we'll talk about getting it passed and john thune just went on television
00:18:52.440this morning and goes hey look fisa's essential to the nation the save america act is not and
00:18:58.120And I told the president it's not going to happen, and it's not going to happen.
00:19:05.940What is your sense of what's going on over there, sir?
00:19:08.120They now want to step into his Article II powers as commander-in-chief, as you so brilliantly put and crafted for the four years President Trump was out of office, and then the year and a half he's been in office.
00:19:20.780They don't want to deal with the Save America Act.
00:19:24.500In fact, when he asked them to attach this FISA, that's impossible.
00:19:27.700They're treating him like a lame duck.
00:19:33.080Well, I was a Senate staffer twice, once right out of college, and I opened the mail for
00:19:38.940Senator Chuck Grassley, my home state senator from Iowa.
00:19:42.360And then the second time, I was only there for 18 months.
00:19:46.300And in that 18 months, as the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee,
00:19:50.660I broke every piece of China in the Senate.
00:19:53.760And what I learned in that role is that if you exert power in the Senate, senators fold like cheap suits.
00:20:07.280They think that they're going to tell the commander in chief how he can defend our nation or conduct foreign affairs because all of these senators all dream one day of being the president of the United States.
00:20:21.800And you have to remind them, it's only happened twice, that a sitting senator has become the president of the United States because the American people see senators as do-nothings, right?
00:20:33.080They're not really responsible for anything.
00:20:42.520The Save America Act has over 80% support of the American people, including a super majority of Democrats and a super majority of minorities, including black Americans who Democrats pretend do not have the wherewithal to get a voter ID like everyone else.
00:21:05.200So you have to ask this question of John Thune. If there is not support for the Save America Act
00:21:14.420in the Senate, whose fault is that? That sounds like a failure of Senate leadership,
00:21:22.380that you can't get the support of 60 senators in a body that is not known for being courageous.
00:21:34.060So you should have all 53 Republican senators in line, and then you put pressure on those
00:21:41.240seven Democrat senators to cave during an election year, like they've done with welfare
00:21:49.160It's really inexcusable that the Save America Act is not on President Trump's desk.
00:21:56.860And again, there's only one reason for this.
00:21:59.600It is a failure of Senate leadership by John Doe.
00:22:04.060So we started off the show, I think we were trying to get you hooked up, so I don't know if you saw it. Rachel Maddow, because she comes on Monday, went off about, you know, Trump, if he can't get Save America, he's going to have vigilantes. He's got all these war room people and all these people out at Ahern Hotel in Nevada, Las Vegas right now, the coalition that are the coalition to stop voter fraud.
00:22:27.520He's going to have all these people at the polls, some of them will be carrying guns, and then there's going to be some incidents, and he's going to then call in federal troops to make sure that that gets calmed down, but he's going to be checking IDs and sending ICE in, and this is how they're going to steal the election.
00:22:43.820If they have to, they'll get Iran, the CCP, or Russia to do deepfake artificial intelligence,
00:22:50.060but that this election already is going to be rigged against the Democrats to hold them
00:23:50.700They got rid of election observers, the people who can gather evidence of election fraud,
00:23:57.260and then they even got rid of signature verification because somehow COVID changes your signature.
00:24:03.620The signature verification is just about the only way you can stop the voter fraud when you have all-mail ballots.
00:24:10.160So they got rid of the evidence gatherers and said there was no evidence, and then they got rid of signature verification, and voila, Joe Biden had magical vote spikes at 3 a.m. in four key counties around America and managed to so-called win the election.
00:24:25.800We just saw this in LA with Spencer Pratt. The guy was clearly going to be in the number one
00:24:33.320or number two spot. And then voila, in the middle of the night, we see these magical vote spikes
00:24:39.560where these Democrats are somehow finding these votes. We're seeing reports where they're paying
00:24:44.840homeless people to vote five times. I mean, I would say this to the Democrats. What are you
00:24:51.000scared of? Why are you scared of having election observers at elections? We require this as the
00:24:59.540United States. We require this in third world Marxist hellholes. When they have their elections,
00:25:05.040we send in election observers to make sure that there's not pride. Why do you want to prevent
00:25:11.380election observers if you're so confident in the integrity of elections? Why do you want to prevent
00:25:17.300people from showing an ID. These are the same Democrats, remember, who wanted us all to have
00:25:23.620COVID IDs to prove that we had these COVID shots, digital IDs in order to move around and free
00:25:31.980society, in order to go into parks and shopping malls and grocery stores. But Democrats didn't
00:25:40.580think that was a burden to get COVID IDs for everyone. But Democrats pretend like it's this
00:25:46.480racist burden to show a voter ID, even though two-thirds of black Americans support voter
00:25:54.240ID in the Save America Act. It's very obvious what the Democrats are doing. They're pretending
00:25:59.440like they're protecting black people, but what they're actually doing is having their illegal
00:26:04.740immigrants illegally vote in American elections. Can we play, let's play the, I want to play the
00:26:11.660Todd Blanche clip. Can we play that and bring, get Mike's observations on this?
00:26:16.480Todd Blanche knows one thing he never in his wildest dreams thought he could be attorney
00:26:24.760general of the United States and now here he is so there's in that power I've been in that building
00:26:31.500a lot John over my career been on the fifth floor where the attorney general sits looked at the
00:26:36.880portraits of all the previous attorneys general on the walls and it is intoxicating and Todd
00:26:42.920blanche's comments can only be attributed to power intoxication and his willingness to want to stay
00:26:49.740and it is the corruption of the rule of law of the department of justice that's much more important
00:26:56.420than whatever's going to happen on the south wall uh we've only got a minute here and i want to hold
00:27:02.020you uh to make sure you get it all out but give me a starter chris christie right there uh all over
00:27:08.260Todd Blanche on the on the kickoff day of Todd's as you know going around and starting to shake
00:27:13.740hands and meet senators for his confirmation hearing sir I guess we dropped Mike we're getting
00:27:25.860back okay let's I'll tell you what let's go to break we're gonna go to break anyway and we'll
00:27:30.540get uh and we'll get Mike Davis back up that's Chris Christie who you know actively um how do I
00:27:37.280say this campaigned to be the attorney general under uh under president trump in the first term
00:27:43.520thank god we didn't make that mistake you think things were bad with bill barr there have been
00:27:48.700i think even a bigger nightmare with with chris christie uh todd blanche has kicked off his effort
00:27:56.260to go to the uh to to be confirmed just to understand how much they hate uh president
00:28:02.020Trump's picks to go in and rattle the cages. Bill Pulte over at D&I, what they did is next Friday,
00:28:10.660next Thursday or Friday, they're going to confirm Jay Clayton as D&I, waiving every rule in the
00:28:16.800Senate, waiving any real security background of his relationships, I don't know, with foreign
00:28:21.760governments, foreign, and Jay Clayton's a good guy, but you should go through a process. Totally
00:28:26.140wave because they don't want bill paulty in putting his foot uh on the floor next friday
00:28:33.480we're disposed to when tulsi leaves at dni short commercial break back in a moment
00:28:37.920why wait till you're down to your last pill stock traveling or dealing with a packed pharmacy
00:28:46.920when you can already have your medications on hand seriously you know what you normally take
00:28:53.220You already know what your family could need.
00:29:53.220So, Mike Davis, back with us. We solved our technical problem. Mike, you've known Todd Blanche. We've all been in the trenches with Todd Blanche. They don't come any better than Todd Blanche, any tougher than Todd Blanche, any more dedicated to the country, the Constitution, and or the president than Todd Blanche. Chris Christie's going after him. He's now intoxicated with power. And that's why the Todd Blanche you see today is very different than what he used to be. Your thoughts, sir?
00:30:19.660Yeah, Chris Christie is doing what he does best, which is showing next level narcissism and cognitive dissonance.
00:30:31.280I would say this to Chris Christie. Todd Blanche is a former federal law clerk to two separate federal judges.
00:30:40.100Todd Blanche is a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York where he served as a manager.
00:31:34.140OK, one thing about Todd Blanche, another thing that I just want to reemphasize is that in putting his country first instead of himself in his career, when he went back to his partners and said, hey, I've got a chance to represent the president of the United States and he needs representation and he needs serious representation because they've stolen the election, they've driven him from the White House and they're coming for him to bankrupt him, to put him in prison and a whole litany of things.
00:32:00.580His partner said, hey, that sounds lovely, but you're not going to do that here.
00:32:03.800So if you want to do it, you've got to resign this very valuable and cushy partnership.
00:32:08.900And Todd Blanche did not blink an eye.
00:32:10.420He said, look, if I can't do it here, I've got to do it.
00:32:13.240My country needs me, and I'm going to do this.
00:32:16.020That is a direct act of patriotism put in one's country,
00:32:21.660particularly in those dark days, folks, of 21 and 22,
00:32:25.820because that was the test of who was there in those days, 21, 22, and 23.
00:32:31.800Mike Davis, I don't think that gets emphasized enough, sir.
00:32:35.560Yeah, Todd Blanche put everything on the line.
00:32:38.980He was making millions of dollars finally after many years of public service at a big New York law firm,
00:32:48.060He ran to President Trump at President Trump's lowest point during the law fair against President Trump, the Democrat law fair, the unprecedented Republican law fair after the Mar-a-Lago raid when every attorney who ran to Trump was getting destroyed, was getting disbarred by Project 65, another Democrat.
00:33:12.020Look, Todd Blanche knows this full well, that if if President Trump would have lost in 2024, the Democrats would have went after Todd Blanche.
00:33:22.960They would have destroyed him. They would have bankrupted him.
00:33:26.060They probably would have just borrowed him. They probably would have put him in jail.
00:33:29.220But now guess what? Todd Blanche is the acting attorney general, and he's going to be the attorney general with the help of the Article three projects and the war room posse lighting up.
00:33:40.020both of our home state senators at our action page at article3project.org and letting both
00:33:46.800our Democrat and Republican senators know we're watching. They're not going to wimp out on this.
00:33:52.800These Republicans who just voted unanimously, 53 of them to confirm Todd Blanche as the number two
00:34:00.20015 months ago, there's no reason they can't vote to confirm him as the attorney general now. And
00:34:07.020We're going to make damn sure that happens at the Article III Project with the War Room Posse.
00:34:13.380Mike, give your social media to your coordinates there, and we'll send it right over to Article III today.
00:35:04.260For now, they are saying that they will reopen the strait.
00:35:07.780The United States is saying it will take down its blockade at the same time,
00:35:13.200that there will be free passage, that no one will have to pay anything to go back and forth through this.
00:35:17.780The Iranians, I think, have suggested that this is just for the next 60 days.
00:35:22.000Do you get the sense that this is a more permanent situation
00:35:24.760where the strait will be reopened even beyond that 60-day period?
00:35:28.480well our expectation is that the strait is going to be opened in a toll-free way for the long term
00:35:34.960and that's the sort of thing that we're going to figure out in these technical negotiations you
00:35:38.720know that there are a lot of very important details to figure out that we're actually going
00:35:43.060to sit at the table and discuss together and figure out a path forward on these details
00:35:47.980bowling i think the uh i think the president just read uh he was on a meeting with uae i think he
00:35:54.040just read and we'll try to pull that and play it a little later uh your assessment right now uh
00:35:58.800eric of where we stand in all this and the centrality of having free navigation you can't
00:36:04.980let the pirates have a say so and somebody told me hey well they're not going to charge a toll
00:36:08.820but they have a servant they have a servicing fee i don't think that's going to work and and
00:36:13.640the president look he's taking some incoming but the senate doesn't need to get involved here
00:36:17.420president trump's a master deal maker he'll figure this out eric bowling your thoughts
00:36:21.680Well, I'm watching the oil market believe in the deal.
00:36:24.980And I'm watching down to $77 a barrel.
00:36:27.300You know, Steve, we were up 114 at the high.
00:36:29.600We hung out around 105 for a long time.
00:36:33.080So the oil market may be factoring in a faster kind of release of the oil or free flow of the oil than the actual market, the actual physical oil market is telling us.
00:36:45.600We only have four ships go through the straight in the last 24 hours, one of them being LNG.
00:36:50.140that's a positive sign. So if you get up to that 100, 120 ships a day, I think you're going to see
00:36:56.600free-flowing oil. That could take a while. I had a captain on the show last night who, he's the
00:37:01.620managing director of a vessel company that puts petrochemicals through the Strait of Hormuz. I
00:37:07.080said, Captain, did you go through today? He said, no. I said, are you going to go through this week?
00:37:10.480He said, no. I said, when are you going to go through? And he said, it's going to be a while
00:37:13.740because we really need to know that the mines are cleared and that there's a safe passage through
00:37:18.580before we're going to be able to put stuff through.
00:37:20.460Not everyone's going to be that diligent, so to speak,
00:41:58.580My answer, like yours, I think you just said, let's just get the hell out, let them, you know, you want to deal with your Mideast garbage, go ahead, do it.
00:42:07.160We don't have, it's not that effective.
00:42:08.980Steve, the answer to all this has become oil, not independent, oil dominant.
00:42:14.300We could dominate the global oil market by producing what we, we would be the swing producer.
00:42:19.380You don't like someone, someone's not playing nice with you, pull back your oil.
00:42:23.340We have, we would be the swing producer for oil the way Saudi has been for the past 40 years.
00:43:42.260You're a free nation, independent nation, not a protectorate, not a vassal state.
00:43:47.140Listen up, patriots. President Trump is dropping a $100 trillion bomb on the globalist.
00:43:55.280Jerome Powell's term has come to a close, and he's installing a real America First Fed chair who will,
00:44:03.040according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our reindustrialization.
00:44:08.500This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary, unleashing a historic
00:44:15.680supercycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium, and gold. The same forces that turned
00:44:22.320$5,000 into over a million in less than five years during China's booms are hitting here now.
00:44:28.840Jim Rickards, the former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor, has the battle plan. The gold
00:44:35.200royalty stock that could skyrocket in the next few years and the uranium power for AI. Don't miss

00:45:11.060War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:45:16.880Sam Faddis. So, Sam, you're leader of one of the patriot groups up in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are, you know, loyal to the MAGA movement, grassroots, President Trump.
00:45:28.260all right the american right you've also your professional career you dedicated a big hunk of
00:45:34.980your uh defense of this nation in in country or in territory with the persians uh and you're a
00:45:42.920supporter of the president your assessment of where we where we stand is it a good thing to
00:45:48.000allow the persians to get cash money is that i'm just don't hesitate there is it ever good to allow
00:45:53.240those guys to get their hands on cash, sir? No, I suspect somewhere in Greece, chiseled on a wall
00:46:02.540in ancient Greek, it says, don't ever give money to the Persians because bad things will happen.
00:46:09.700Look, one way or the other, I mean, obviously I'm like everybody else. I'm trying to figure out
00:46:15.420what are the exact terms of this memorandum of understanding. But my best assessment,
00:46:22.300having read multiple sources a whole boatload of money is going to the iranians um they're not
00:46:30.880going to build child care centers with it they're not going to you know pass out baby formula every
00:46:37.620dollar you hand to them they're going to put to use setting the world on fire and their press
00:46:45.920Every press outlet in Iran, it's party time. They are celebrating their victory over us and having established dominance. So they're not interested in moving on, getting along. This is not over.
00:47:07.000They are emboldened and now they're going to be awash in cash. That is a really bad combo.
00:47:15.920The sanctions, so we've got an international consortium, and we haven't enforced it as much as we could enforce it,
00:47:22.840but we do have a structure that has choked them down a bit in the sanctions program.
00:47:27.960We do have, I think, at least $24 billion, I hear $100 billion, of their cash money that we've held back.
00:47:35.520We've now put our, quote-unquote, allies in the Persian Gulf on notice.
00:47:40.360They can't keep using the financial institutions' backdoor, particularly in Dubai, to help them money launder.
00:47:45.920um and um and we haven't uh we haven't agreed to any american money going into any 300 billion
00:47:52.600dollar reconstruction project my i just say hey we don't need a signed deal treat a parsing said
00:48:00.260you're never going to get that one anyway that's not how the persians work or they'll drag it out
00:48:03.560for years if uh israel is going to do their own thing and there's voices you see in israel today
00:48:08.760saying we got to be independent we can't be dependent upon the united states to call the
00:48:12.120shots here. The strategic interests are divergent, regardless of what Tel Aviv Levin and Benji
00:48:17.820Shapiro and these guys say. The Israelis know that. Let them go do their thing. And one of the things
00:48:23.220here is just keep the fleet there, but downsize it. But if you lift the sanctions, because the
00:48:31.020Europeans are dying to get over there and start making money, right, and still wanting us to
00:48:35.760defend them. So keep the sanctions, because if you lose that, you'll never get it. It'll take
00:48:40.260forever to get it back and don't give them the 24 billion dollars of cash or leading to the 100
00:48:45.440billion dollars cash and if the saudis these guys want to go and make reparations and rebuild the
00:48:49.860place that's if they want to make it regionally economically integrated which i think would be a
00:48:55.360great thing that's up to them we shouldn't have anything to do it that just drag that just gets
00:49:00.080us in there like a marshall plan where maybe we're not writing the check but we're administrating
00:49:04.400we're somehow an administrator or calling the shots it's too much just walk away but keep their
00:49:10.340money and just and it led besant every now and again screw their currency right that'll give
00:49:15.820them a love tap to let them know that we're still in charge sam fattis yeah absolutely there's no
00:49:21.380reason on earth we should ease any pressure on them at all and look this idea that money's going
00:49:27.420to flood in there to redevelop them like like you say as if this is some sort of marshall plan
00:49:32.840What are we talking about? This is a theocracy and a country at this point under the control of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:49:43.180They don't care about shopping malls and factories and the quality of life of their people. They're on a revolutionary mission.
00:49:51.620They're not looking for somebody to come invest. They don't want to join the world. They're not looking to get along.
00:49:58.480They're looking to burn the place to the ground, and they are now going to have a lot more capability to do that and a lot more money.
00:50:12.600One of the arguments that are being put forward is that there are a contingent of people over there that say we do want to join the world community.
00:50:53.540I mean, yeah, we were also told that after three days of bombing, the people were going to flood the streets.
00:50:58.940I mean, come on, the places, they killed who knows how many tens of thousands of people before the war started for demonstrating in the street.
00:51:06.380They'll kill 300,000 people in the street.
00:51:09.020I mean, popular, these kind of autocracies of various stripes are really, really, really good at staying in power.
00:51:17.260And look, just to throw something else into the mix here.
00:51:19.760Any promise the Iranians make to talk about nuclear weapons programs and getting rid of HEU and all this stuff, that's garbage.
00:51:30.200That's of absolutely, literally no value.
00:51:33.860These guys still don't even admit they have a nuclear weapons program.
00:51:48.500They won't give us anything. And every second we spend talking to them about it in this framework is just it's it's a waste of time, quite literally.
00:51:57.240I'm sorry. I want to hold you through the break. I know you got to bounce.
00:52:01.560I get Peter Navarro at the White House, so we'll figure out during the break. But they're pretty good negotiators, sir.
00:52:07.120yeah they're a hundred percent and look at and they're they will lie to your face and they will
00:52:14.820run you in circles so they've done that with the iaea for for years taking them to look at sites
00:52:21.200where there isn't anything but they don't take them to the sites where there is stuff
00:52:24.540sam faddis stick around jim records one of our contributors he's got a special deal 49 bucks
00:52:33.920for one quarter, that's three months of strategic intelligence. If you like his contributions,
00:52:40.080if you like global capital markets, if you like, he drills down on the stock market,
00:52:44.400equity market, bond market, all of it, geopolitics, intelligence, national security.
00:52:49.620It's what the C-suites throughout the world read, the chairman of the boards and the CEOs,
00:52:53.980you get access to it, 49 bucks for risk-free. If you don't like it after one quarter,
