00:13:32.300Also, and I think they pointed to their big fear.
00:13:35.340A condition precedent of all of it is that the fleet has to lead, the blockade has to be lifted, and all the American assets out of the region, correct, sir?
00:13:49.380The Roosevelt and the Abraham Lincoln are two aircraft carriers, and aircraft carrier strike forces, they've got to get back to home port, close U.S. bases in the area, release the frozen assets, and as I say, it goes on and on.
00:14:05.340You know, there's some kind of deal possible, but it would basically be in a full-scale retreat, not just a stalemate or a ceasefire, but a full-scale retreat from the Middle East for the United States.
00:14:18.020And I just, I don't think Trump would agree to that, so nothing's happening.
00:14:23.620But yeah, it's, you know, basically it's a, and the White House is also missing another thing.
00:14:29.980They said the other day, well, you just give us time.
00:14:32.480We're going to keep the blockade in place.
00:14:34.060The blockade is working, but, you know, you're shutting down traffic from the Persian Gulf.
00:14:41.380Hang on one second. We'll take a short commercial break. Jim Workens is with us.
00:14:45.380We're going to pivot to this economic warfare.
00:14:49.840What is possible? What can be done now?
00:14:52.540Is this the way to actually bring this to a head next in the war room?
00:14:59.340You don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector.
00:15:03.320and you don't wait until the wind and rain hammer your windows
00:15:07.100and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane.
00:15:11.220And you don't reach for your seatbelt after the impact
00:15:14.820because after the crash, the hurricane, or the house fire, it's too late.
00:15:19.760Similarly, you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy gold.
00:17:18.420They're going to be around a long time more.
00:17:20.340But they got a house style, and that house style is what Jim Rickards.
00:17:26.040Well, you're exactly right. Remember, this is the culture that invented chess, like invented it. So start there in terms of their ability. There are only two individuals in history who have conquered Persia, even temporarily, Alexander the Great, and I guess Kermit Roosevelt, because he overthrew the Shah, but, or sorry, overthrew the, most of the day, the president.
00:17:45.000But other than that, yeah, they've been a continuous culture, major power.
00:17:50.900People think, you know, they put Iran in some, I'll say, everyday Americans or even policymakers put Iran in some kind of third world emerging market bucket.
00:24:05.120They weren't that tough in January when Scott Besson went down and started destroying their currency.
00:24:10.440Next thing you know, you saw a lot of folks in the streets.
00:24:13.100What we don't want to do is bring them together by bombing them more, I think, because that creates a sense of Persian nationalism, which is like, hey, so is your old man.0.88
00:24:22.940So I just think we need a different take on this.0.95
00:24:25.140But if we do, Jim, we have to go back to what you've been preaching.
00:24:28.360We have to go back to full 100% economic warfare, including telling the CCP that if you trade with these guys, you're going to deal with us directly because we're not going to allow it to happen.
00:24:54.320But the Russians, for example, right now, they're isolating Odessa, which is a major port city, well, the biggest port city in Ukraine.
00:25:01.140But they just blew up a bridge that connects Odessa with Romania because the Ukrainians, the Black Sea is pretty much closed at this point.
00:25:10.120By the way, a massive amount of grain exports are not getting out.0.99
00:25:15.340That's in the pipeline because neither Russian nor Ukrainian grain is getting out of the Black Sea.
00:25:20.320But the reason they blew up that bridge is so Ukraine couldn't send, you know, vessels or basically not vessels that get trucks and trains in from Romania to resupply the weapons or export goods.
00:25:31.800So there's a case where you're not just blowing up a bridge for the sake of it.
00:25:34.460That's economic strangulation with a kinetic twist.
00:43:14.120Head of the task force, Real America's Voice, own John Solomon, doing double duty, hosting the show, running Just the News, and running the task force over the White House side.
00:43:26.400In fact, I think I'll get Grace. Maybe we can even put it on Bill Blaster.
00:43:30.880Check it out. I'll talk to her during the break. Short break. Back in a moment.
00:43:38.620As President Trump continues to fight for this great country, one of his most important actions could soon impact the wealth of millions of hardworking Americans like you.
00:43:48.820Of course, you won't hear about this in the mainstream media or on the nightly news.
00:43:53.560They'll never admit Trump was right about anything.
00:43:57.580But according to my dear friend and frequent war room guest, Jim Rickards, President Trump has a plan that could unlock an estimated $2.7 trillion in American resources, creating opportunities that many investors may not even realize exist.
00:44:13.280Jim recently put together a new presentation explaining what he believes is happening, why it matters and what Americans should be watching right now.
00:44:21.640To get the full story, go to RickardsWarRoom.com.
