00:09:37.500so if we're talking about the straight whore moves we're talking about mining operations0.67
00:09:41.140If only, if only we knew someone who was an expert in Navy explosive ordnance disposal and the maritime warframe, if we only knew someone who knew this battle space, who had actually deployed to the region, who was an officer in the United States Navy, who specifically focused directly on this, you might even call him a SME, a subject matter expert.
00:10:07.260Well, we don't know any of those, but we do have Tom Sauer, so we're going to bring him on.
00:10:10.520what's up Tom good thing you said that because I didn't know who you were talking about I was like
00:10:15.460he's not talking about me is he no no I mean I'm saying I wish I knew someone like that but I don't
00:10:19.960but I do know yourself but uh yeah man it's uh it's been a wild few days and what's crazy to me
00:10:25.660is that this is the moment that so many Navy EOD guys like me have been waiting for I mean
00:10:33.340mining the straight they're gonna mine the straight this is it this is something that Navy EOD has
00:10:39.020prepared for longer than I've been alive and it's the scenario that everyone talks about
00:10:44.820it's a scenario that my brother who's an active duty navy od officer who's now stationed in the
00:10:50.020pacific working mine countermeasures over there he was the operations officer for the task force
00:10:55.480charged with clearing the strait in the event were to happen just a couple years ago and now
00:11:00.380all of us are incredibly jealous of the boys who are over there there now and uh I'm talking to
00:11:07.560right now you know in the group chats obviously nothing classified or sensitive but um yeah they're
00:11:13.560there right now and they are gearing up because it's like this is it this is the show it's the
00:11:18.600super bowl here we go um and uh but like i mentioned when you say the show the super bowl
00:11:23.880what you're talking about is the fact that navy eod officers navy eod mine countermeasure teams
00:11:29.240this is exactly what people have been training for for decades uh since the iran iraq war since
00:11:34.800the 1980s when Iran mined the Gulf back then. This is exactly what the training has been focused
00:11:41.400on because this is the mother of all at sea choke points, the Strait of Hormuz. And now Iran,0.91
00:11:48.000we don't know if they've actually begun mining or not. President Trump hit those, you know,
00:11:53.840hit those ships yesterday. Iran does have other capabilities for mine laying. But Tom,0.91
00:11:59.460we have mine countermeasures walk us through a little bit of what the u.s navy's response
00:12:04.840potentially could be capability wise well it started with a number of years ago we used to
00:12:10.480have mine sweepers mine sweeping ships that were stationed in bahrain now the thing is though is
00:12:16.420that these were very old they're broken all the time and they were and we weren't really sure how
00:12:21.340effective they would be because mine countermeasures in big navy is generally an overlooked and
00:12:27.780underappreciated realm of warfare which is really not a great idea because since 1945 we've lost
00:12:34.260more ships or had either sunk or damaged to mines than we have from missiles torpedoes gunfire all
00:12:41.860that combined so it's actually a much greater threat but we still don't focus on nearly as much
00:12:46.840so now that those minesweepers are out of there they're relying pretty much entirely on um on
00:12:53.640what's called expeditionary mine countermeasures which is led by navy eod uh embarked usually on
00:13:00.580any vessel of opportunity but right now they are embarked on littoral combat ships and uh they have
00:13:07.540unmanned underwater vehicles they uh have eod divers remote operated vehicles to be able to
00:13:14.560search that whole area and then if they find suspected mines they would mark them and then
00:13:20.960if we can't avoid we will if we cannot avoid them if they're in what's called a q route right a q
00:13:27.100route which is basically the shipping lane traffic right so the number one priority is to search the
00:13:32.720shipping lanes to make sure there's a clear and once that's clear then it's like we can give the
00:13:37.520green light to everyone that hey you can go through this specific narrow defined lanes
00:13:43.700right for your traffic you know just just like a road right or you know one coming in one going out
00:13:49.820And that's exactly the way to think about it, clearing the road.
00:19:19.160all right folks jack we are back live human events daily and folks you know i got to tell
00:19:34.980you something pay attention you got to pay attention to what is happening with the dollar
00:19:39.540with the debt with central banks we know that of course we are facing conflict internationally
00:19:45.060When things get rocky, gold has always been the safe haven.
00:19:48.980But now gold isn't just defensive, it's an offensive asset.

00:28:42.760All right. Very excited to have on our next guest, the great Scott Pressler.
00:28:47.920Scott, how are you? I'm good. Thanks for having me back, Jack.
00:28:52.700Well, it's great to have you on. Congrats on your shout out from the president of the United States the other day.
00:28:57.840And you've been up very vocal about the Save America Act.
00:29:02.320And I wanted to get kind of from your perspective, a grassroots update on where we are on this.
00:29:07.000Thank you. So the House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson
00:29:13.100passed the Save America Act, Save Act, for a third time. It's been on the books now for nearly
00:29:20.560over a year that it's been held up in the Senate. So thank you to our House for passing that
00:29:24.940legislation. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, during his State of the Union
00:29:29.200called the Save America Act country saving legislation, which I completely agree with.
00:29:36.320And most recently, as you just announced, the president not only gave our work a shout out, but said that he will not sign another piece of legislation into law until the Save America Act is passed.
00:29:48.500So now Senator Thune is apparently going to bring the Save America Act to the Senate floor, but will it pass?
00:29:56.760And I want to also thank representatives of the House for saying that they will also vote no to any Senate legislation until, again, the Save America Act is passed.
00:30:08.420And that's the seat of where we are right now, Jack.
00:39:47.960U.S. is in good position strategically, but Iran still has over 600,000 ground troops at their disposal.
00:39:54.380It's true. Iran has an incredibly sizable army.
00:39:57.200Any thought that they will give up is a hard no.
00:39:59.420Iran still believes they have control because with their military machinery decimated,
00:40:03.820it is still a feet-on-the-ground first military.0.92
00:40:06.480Those troops will be jumping into whatever the new Khomeini throws at them, even if it's asinine.0.95
00:40:11.260I believe the U.S. will be focusing on the Strait of Hormuz,
00:40:13.360clearing the shipping lanes while neutralizing any mines and smaller vessels trying to sabotage
00:40:17.660the area the strait needs to be open for world economies an end result would be the control of
00:40:22.620karg island it's scary early propositional because troops would be required sort of a catch 22 of
00:40:29.040what the goal is for our feet on the ground and not having that as an aside there'll be no
00:40:33.620negotiating with the new supreme leader so they will be a target there to strike down the next
00:40:38.160group in the end the u.s wants to make Iran weak enough so that the people can take over with0.96
00:40:42.060confidence and U.S. troops are saved from entering their land space, keeping it clean and making it0.51
00:40:46.520free. That seems to be the goal. Well, that certainly would be the the most hopeful scenario,
00:40:52.400although I personally have said that I think that the Venezuela and I'll continue to say this,0.97
00:40:56.460I think the Venezuela option, the Venezuela model is still most likely here. This one,
00:41:03.920this comes in from Mike World Peace. OK, seriously, collapse of China, CCP and their change to reform
00:41:11.120It may take POTUS Trump in Cuba and Mexico, or a way to help them.
00:41:16.180Mexico won't be a regime change, but maybe other forms of pressure like Canada and Greenland
00:41:20.740required, but along with China transitioning to a less dominant world power and the UK
00:41:25.940hidden empire crumbling a bit while they wait for POTUS Trump to exit.
00:41:30.080I believe that Russia will come to the table and end the wasteful conflict there as well.
00:41:35.500Russia likely knows POTUS is not a NATO poke the bear guy.
00:41:39.240And the Promethean ladies say that their group has discussed a five core country of world peace coming together with the, listen to this, U.S., China, Russia, India, and Japan, which controls nearly 100% of world product export economies.
00:41:54.780No idea where other countries, including U.K. and Germany, fit in.
00:42:09.240They're very, very interesting. Let's see. Chris sends in for the next few weeks. Let's keep pounding the regime. Let's pray the Iranian people will rise up and determine their identity. This could bring a new sunrise. The world will see Trump 2028 with a smiley face.
00:42:26.960This one from Joe, the U.S. could focus on Mexican cartels because they are involved in trafficking drugs into the United States, which has become a major public health crisis.
00:42:36.260Special forces raids on cartel leaders or destroying drug labs and smuggling routes or Cuba because it's Cuba.
00:42:43.520All right. Coming up next, this one's in from Maria.
00:42:46.680I think Iran's munitions will be exhausted and the U.S. will pull back on air attacks.0.58
00:42:50.880The Trump administration believed the attacks were warranted based on Iran's refusal to, she said, refusal to develop nuclear weapons.0.56
00:42:58.900I think I think it means stop developing.
00:43:01.060I don't believe it will be a forever war because it's not in the best interest of the organizations invested heavily in the real estate potential of the area.
00:43:08.340Remember, President Trump wasn't a poor politician latched to the latched to the military industrial complex or big pharma.
