00:01:38.980 But I ask you guys all to please keep him in your prayers tonight
00:01:41.380 and throughout the weekend.
00:01:43.240 and truly the sweetest animal on earth.
00:01:48.100 And you folks who have animals know having a pet is like having a kid.
00:01:52.500 Now, I have no kids, so this is my son.
00:01:54.320 So please ask you to keep him in your prayers tonight
00:01:56.680 as he goes through the fight of his life, and we're all there with him.
00:02:00.940 So let's get to some news, folks, of the day, some news of the week,
00:02:04.560 some big news out of the Pentagon, out of the CIA headquarters today.
00:02:10.540 As it seems, John Ratcliffe, CIA director, is not doing his job.
00:02:15.620 Now, we've spoken about it before on this show with folks like Roger Stone, with various other guests who have told us they believe that John Ratcliffe was not doing his job, that he has not started to drain the swamp, that he has not done anything to drain the deep state, which is the enemy from within the folks at the CIA for years.
00:02:40.540 for President Trump's first term through Joseph Biden's term have sought to undermine President
00:02:46.160 Trump, have sought to undermine democracy at every single turn. It's what these people do.
00:02:51.840 They hate America. They hate President Trump, and they will do whatever they can and stop at
00:02:57.680 nothing to stop the orange man, even if it means undermining national security, even if it means
00:03:04.620 trying to destroy america even if it means putting our troops at harm's way
00:03:09.880 which as i mentioned folks they do not care about they don't care about anything they don't care
00:03:18.680 about this country they don't certainly care about our troops and like i said we'll do anything they
00:03:24.640 could to harm those people so what do we have today we've got a leaker out of the cia who's
00:03:32.080 apparently leaking war plans, war plans, folks, for what's going on over in Iran, which compromises,
00:03:41.160 of course, the safety of our troops over there, the safety here at home, and the safety of our
00:03:49.000 friends and allies over in Europe. Now, why would they want to do such a thing? Why would the deep
00:03:56.220 staters inside the CIA want to compromise national security? Why would the deep staters overseas
00:04:04.900 want to compromise the safety of our servicemen and women? Doesn't make sense, right? It wouldn't
00:04:14.140 make sense that a logical person would want to be so evil, would hate a person, would hate a country
00:04:21.380 so much that they don't care about the irreparable harm that it does, that the destruction it does
00:04:32.180 to everything inside of this country, to everything inside of our military operation
00:04:39.140 over in the Middle East. So what exactly did they leak? We're going to get into all of that,
00:04:46.040 But it's a dossier, an Iran-CIA war dossier, that was given to none other than the Washington Post
00:04:53.060 that they're saying refutes President Trump's claims that the Iran regime's missiles are mostly decimated.
00:04:59.200 Now, Wednesday, President Trump spoke about it in the Oval Office.
00:05:02.940 A reporter asked President Trump about his decision to pause Project Freedom amid this blockade through the Strait of Hormuz.
00:05:09.940 President Trump told that reporter that the U.S. military has decimated Iran's military and missile capabilities
00:05:14.660 and that they are probably only have about 18% left.
00:05:19.120 Let's take a listen in on President Trump when asked that by a reporter.
00:05:24.120 You're facing the opponent right now in Iran that has refused to submit.
00:05:29.160 You seem optimistic now to maybe push through a deal.
00:05:31.900 What's different about this moment now than in other moments where a deal has seemed close?
00:05:36.540 Well, why do you say they refuse to submit?
00:05:38.780 You don't know that.
00:05:39.660 You don't know what's going on behind you.
00:05:41.100 A few days ago.
00:05:42.180 A few days ago.
00:05:43.300 It's a long time ago.
00:05:44.660 You know, in the world of war a few days ago, no, they want to make a deal badly.
00:05:49.660 And we'll see if we get there.
00:05:50.980 If we get there, they can't have nuclear weapons.
00:05:52.940 You know, it's very simple.
00:05:53.960 But what's not to submit?
00:05:56.220 So they had a Navy with 159 ships, and now every ship is blown to pieces and lying at the bottom of the water.
00:06:03.080 They had an Air Force, lots of planes, and they don't have any planes.
00:06:05.980 They don't have any anti-aircraft.
00:06:08.060 They don't have any radar left.
00:06:10.300 Their missiles are mostly decimated.
00:06:11.920 They have some. They have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had.
00:06:18.560 And their leaders are all dead. So I think we won.
00:06:23.960 Now it's only a question of, look, if we left right now around, it would take them 20 years to rebuild.
00:06:30.680 You would call that we're in good shape, right? Fantastic. We're in good shape.
00:06:36.120 So that was President Trump yesterday.
00:06:38.360 And, of course, when President Trump speaks, you've got these deep staters who go absolutely berserk, and berserk is absolutely what they did.
00:06:47.540 So what happened?
00:06:49.420 Well, you had somebody, a mole inside the CIA, that decided it was a good idea to go run to a safe haven, the Washington Post,
00:07:00.260 which, by the way, folks, these people think that being a whistleblower, which is, there's no whistleblower protections for what they did.
00:07:07.180 leaking to the media in a way like this that puts in harm's way our servicemen and women
00:07:13.880 is not being a whistleblower. That's called being a scumbag lowlife.
00:07:21.040 That's called someone committing treason at the cost of our country,
00:07:28.880 at the cost of our men and women abroad who are serving this country.
00:07:33.300 So let's take a listen. Let's take a look, rather, at that report that they decided that they were going to go ahead and leak to the esteemed aforementioned Washington Post.
00:07:53.340 And let's go through it, because I think it's very, very important.
00:07:57.380 They call it a Washington Post exclusive. U.S. intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump's Hormuz blockade for months. Confidential intelligence community assessment delivered to the White House also finds that Iran retains a substantial missile and drone arsenal.
00:08:15.480 So it starts already, as you can see, with the anti-American hatred.
00:08:19.560 A confidential CIA analyst delivered to the administration of policymakers this week
00:08:25.260 that concludes that Iran could survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months
00:08:29.880 before facing more severe economic hardship,
00:08:33.980 four people with familiar sources to the document said,
00:08:37.100 finding that appears to raise new questions about President Trump's optimism on ending the war.
00:08:42.400 Now, if you read that first paragraph, you'd say to yourself,
00:08:45.560 whose side are these people on?
00:08:49.560 whose side are they on?
00:08:52.100 Are they on the side of America?
00:08:56.260 Or are they on the side of the IRGC Iranians?
00:09:03.040 The analysis, and it goes on,
00:09:05.480 the analysis by the U.S. intelligence community,
00:09:07.920 the secret assessments on Iran have often been more sober
00:09:10.680 than the administration's public statements,
00:09:12.620 also found that Tehran retained significant ballistic missile capabilities
00:09:15.580 despite weeks of intense U.S. and Israeli bombardment.
00:09:19.560 Three people familiar with it said there.
00:09:23.360 So you've got four people familiar in the first three people, not apparent if it's the same three out of four, familiar with that.
00:09:34.900 Under John Ratcliffe's CIA.
00:09:38.580 Think about that for a second.
00:09:41.160 John Ratcliffe came in there.
00:09:42.280 He was supposed to gut this place of the very people who are doing exactly this right here.
00:09:49.560 John Ratcliffe promised change.
00:09:53.180 The same John Ratcliffe who did not release documents President Trump asked him to release at the conclusion of President Trump's first administration.
00:10:07.200 So is John Ratcliffe in on it?
00:10:11.860 Is John Ratcliffe compromised?
00:10:16.120 Or is he just stupid and complacent?
00:10:19.560 Let's take a quick break while you folks think about that.
00:10:23.240 And while I ponder it as well.
00:10:25.340 Let's take a quick break here.
00:10:26.360 We're live tonight, folks, for The Great America Show.
00:10:27.980 As always, let us know where you're tuned in from.
00:10:29.620 Let us know if you're enjoying the show.
00:10:31.840 And we're going to take a quick break.
00:10:33.160 We're going to be acting less than 60 seconds, so please stay with us.
00:10:35.520 There's so much more to get to on the other side of this quick break.
00:10:38.480 We're going to continue with this.
00:10:39.680 We're going to talk a little bit about oil prices and DOJ investigation into some interesting oil trends.
00:10:48.820 Is there more that meets the eye on these fluctuating prices?
00:10:52.300 All that and much, much more, folks, on the other side of this quick break,
00:10:54.520 so please stay with us.
00:10:55.720 The Great America Show continues in just one moment.
00:10:57.860 We'll be right back.
00:11:04.400 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show.
00:11:07.240 Is it you or me?
00:11:08.120 Every time I hear a Mike Lindell commercial, it reminds me of good old Billy Mays,
00:11:13.580 who I tell Mike all the time I believe is the greatest salesman of all time.
00:11:17.960 and Billy Mays could have sold somebody, I mean, just about anything.
00:11:23.720 We're live tonight, folks, so let us know, as always,
00:11:25.600 where you're tuned in from if you're enjoying the show,
00:11:27.420 all that good stuff, and much, much more.
00:11:29.380 So let's continue talking about this treasonous SOB
00:11:34.300 who decided to leak a national security briefing
00:11:40.260 under John Radcliffe's watchful eye, by the way.
00:11:43.660 Make no mistake there.
00:11:45.500 They go on to say, in this leak,
00:11:47.140 Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers
00:11:51.420 and about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles, according to this U.S. official.
00:11:57.500 The official said that there is evidence that the regime has been able to recover
00:12:01.300 and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities,
00:12:05.240 repair some damaged missiles, and even assemble some new missiles
00:12:08.340 that were nearly complete when the war began.
00:12:12.100 Trump painted a rosier picture in the Oval Office remarks on Wednesday
00:12:15.460 saying that Iran, quote, their missiles are mostly decimated,
00:12:19.120 and they have probably about 18% or 19%, but not a lot,
00:12:22.400 as we played for you in the video there.
00:12:24.960 Three current and one former U.S. official confirmed the outline
00:12:28.120 that the intelligence analyst, speaking on the condition, of course,
00:12:30.840 of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.
00:12:34.620 When asked for comment, a senior U.S. intelligence official emphasized
00:12:37.860 that the blockade impact, the president's blockade,
00:12:40.580 is inflicting real compounding damage, severing trade, crushing revenue,
00:12:45.060 and accelerating a systemic economic collapse.
00:12:48.200 Iran's military has been badly degraded and its navy destroyed,
00:12:51.660 and its leaders are hiding, the official who was not authorized
00:12:54.980 to speak on the record said in a statement.
00:12:57.420 What's left of the regime's appetite for civilian suffering,
00:13:00.420 starving its own people for a prolonged war,
00:13:03.280 that it has already lost.
00:13:05.220 Now that sounds more like the situation that we're in.
00:13:11.400 If Iran really had the missiles and the capabilities that this supposed CIA analyst says they have, then why is Iran laying down on their back and getting annihilated?
00:13:34.860 Why have they allowed America to completely sink their navy?
00:13:39.180 Why is it now that their Navy has resorted to speedboats that you'd see out on a lake somewhere in South Carolina pulling a wakeboard on the back in the middle of the summer?
00:13:51.420 Do you think that, oh, maybe Iran, and this is one of the things that we've been told, well, Iran's just sitting back and waiting.
00:13:57.940 They're waiting for their time to attack.
00:14:02.520 They're waiting.
00:14:03.420 They're saving everything.
00:14:04.600 so then i asked the cia analyst what is the point of these missile strikes
00:14:13.500 is it just for fun is iran is america is israel just striking for the hell of it
00:14:21.940 i mean it doesn't make any sense iran's new supreme leader who's waiting for a prosthetic leg
00:14:31.180 literally will not meet with his cabinet
00:14:34.700 because he's so terrified
00:14:36.160 that he's going to get blown to smithereens by a missile.
00:14:43.780 So it goes against the very premise
00:14:45.860 of what this person, this CIA analyst is saying.
00:14:51.500 The new Ayatollah would not go into a swearing-in ceremony.
00:14:54.500 Well, they say maybe because he was in a coma,
00:14:57.280 but reportedly not in a coma anymore,
00:14:59.120 that they embarrassed the heck out of themselves
00:15:01.840 by bringing in a cardboard cutout of this man
00:15:05.100 with his face on it.
00:15:10.360 That's what an administration,
00:15:12.160 and I say administration very boldly,
00:15:14.460 but that's what a regime does that's winning?
00:15:20.140 That's what a regime does that's on the offense?
00:15:27.120 That's what a regime does?
00:15:29.120 That's not running with their tail between their legs?
00:15:34.800 So what this man wants us to believe, or women, or whoever the hell the CIA analyst is,
00:15:39.660 is that Iran's just laying on their back, waiting for the possibility that we destroy their military,
00:15:45.940 if we haven't already, according to this guy, or sink the rest of their Navy or warships.
00:15:52.880 But they're waiting for the right time to attack.
00:15:55.060 when is the right time america will never run out of missiles they'll be decimated before
00:16:04.700 that happens to which president trump has given these people lifeline after lifeline
00:16:09.280 because i don't believe that president trump really wants to kill everybody there
00:16:13.060 certainly not the civilians i don't think he wants to wipe out the entire regime there
00:16:19.020 because he would have done it already
00:16:21.380 anyone who doesn't believe that america can level them off the face of the earth
00:16:27.260 the regime i'm saying not the civilians of course but that's what iran wants they want to
00:16:32.740 send their civilians to be in harm's way because that's what these people do who believe in marty
00:16:37.940 dumb but anyone who doesn't believe that america could wipe these people this terroristic irgc
00:16:45.940 regime off the face of the earth in one day is sadly mistaken. And I think you grossly
00:16:53.060 underestimate the power of our military. And, you know, I have to be honest with you guys,
00:17:00.740 I was so impressed and surprised when those two military fighters ejected out of their plane and
00:17:09.100 they couldn't find them and we find out there's a technology that the u.s possesses that found
00:17:16.740 these guys within 60 miles by an electromagnetic wave of their heartbeat in the middle of a field
00:17:27.320 in the middle of the desert somewhere as these dirtbag iranian terrorists were running around
00:17:35.500 putting bounties on their head, trying to scoop them up as trophies.
00:17:43.740 That's when I knew there was more to our military than meets the eye.
00:17:47.800 Or when we went into Venezuela to take out Nicolas Maduro.
00:17:53.900 And our guys were outnumbered 10 or 20 or 30 or 100 to 1.
00:17:59.580 And our guys go in there and turn on this thing called a discombobulator.
00:18:02.720 to which Venezuelan military members said
00:18:06.300 that it was not something they've never seen before.
00:18:10.460 Started seeing doubles and triples of people.
00:18:13.300 Their noses started bleeding.
00:18:14.920 They were bleeding from the ears.
00:18:17.880 It looked like one military member was 100 coming at them
00:18:21.240 and bullets were flying millions of miles an hour.
00:18:26.600 This is just two of the technologies
00:18:28.480 that we've learned about in the last six months
00:18:30.420 that our military has.
00:18:34.020 So make no mistake.
00:18:39.060 There's way more to our military
00:18:41.440 than President Trump leads on.
00:18:45.300 And I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
00:18:47.140 I think it's a good thing.
00:18:48.920 Let these people think that our military is antiquated.
00:18:52.440 Let them think that our technology is antiquated.
00:18:55.200 Let them think
00:18:56.060 that we don't have the best, strongest military in the world.
00:19:00.420 and i'm just saying this from a perspective of you messing with us
00:19:06.980 let them think that and it goes right back to the f around and find out diagram
00:19:14.980 and i don't think america is a country you really want to f around with and find out
00:19:20.180 go ask nicholas maduro who's sitting in a jail cell about five miles from this studio
00:19:26.020 So ask him how it worked out.
00:19:29.740 Folks, I want to take one more quick break here.
00:19:31.460 There's so much more to get to on the other side.
00:19:32.800 We're going to continue to go on with this and talk about this CIA scumbag analyst leaker, treasonous leaker.
00:19:40.760 We're going to talk about that and so much, so much more.
00:19:43.120 So please stay with us.
00:19:44.340 Let us know, as always, folks, where you're tuned in from.
00:19:46.140 We're coming right back.
00:19:46.920 We're live tonight for The Great America Show.
00:19:48.540 We're back in less than 60.
00:19:50.260 Don't turn that down, please.
00:19:56.020 thanks everybody for staying with us here on the great america show as always let us know where
00:20:00.940 you're tuned in from we're live tonight for the great america show so we'll get to try to get to
00:20:04.680 some of your stuff uh before we wrap up here let's get back to that cia analyst who's apparently
00:20:10.240 trying to save the world so they go on in this leak to the washington post the esteemed washington
00:20:16.660 post trump's defense secretary pete hexath and other officials have constantly presented
00:20:20.980 The war is an overwhelming U.S. military victory, despite Iran's rejection of Washington's demand that its abandonment of nuclear enrichment, surrender its uranium stockpiles, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to take other steps.
00:20:34.100 Trump called the blockade unbelievable on Wednesday, that the Navy has been incredible.
00:20:38.560 The job that they did is like a wall of steel, and nobody goes through it.
00:20:43.800 Treasury Tech Secretary Scott Besson touted the president's sanctions on the regime, dubbed as an economic fury, in late April.
00:20:50.980 But they say Iran has proved resilient.
00:20:55.700 I'd love to know who wrote this.
00:20:59.440 It's got to be some beta boy in the basement of the CIA.
00:21:06.780 I'd love to know.
00:21:08.480 So they say Iran has proved resilient.
00:21:11.520 Resilient.
00:21:12.240 They're great.
00:21:13.440 Great regime.
00:21:15.740 Resilience.
00:21:16.400 They kill their own people.
00:21:17.460 You know, big thing in America, the LGBTQ plus XYZ community, right?
00:21:27.720 Big rights moving for them here in America.
00:21:30.780 Those same people would be killed in Iran, thrown off of buildings.
00:21:39.600 But Iran has proved resilient, despite losing its supreme leader and many other top officials to missile strikes,
00:21:45.900 as well as much as of its military hardware.
00:21:48.620 So let me get this straight.
00:21:51.840 Iran's winning the war, you said in two paragraphs before that.
00:21:57.180 Nothing's been wiped out.
00:21:58.360 As a matter of fact, they've continued to grow their military underground
00:22:01.340 while the war progressed.
00:22:05.980 They haven't lost really anything.
00:22:09.320 But two paragraphs later, they've lost their supreme leader,
00:22:14.580 many other top officials to missile strikes as well as much of its military hardware so which
00:22:19.260 one is it one u.s official who spoke to the washington post said that they thought iran's
00:22:25.280 capacity to endure prolonged economic hardship is far greater than even cia estimates quote the
00:22:30.880 leadership has gotten more this is has gotten more radical determined increasingly confident
00:22:38.020 that they can outlast the u.s politically and will sustain domestic repression to check any
00:22:43.800 resistance. Inside Iran, the official said, comparatively, you see similar regimes lasting
00:22:50.280 years under sustained embargoes and air power only wars. Since war begun on February 28th,
00:22:58.300 Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, vital channel for shipping oil from the Persian
00:23:02.740 Gulf. So let me ask you, one of the biggest, well, the biggest export that they have that they rely
00:23:07.300 on, that's critical time-wise, is being stopped and cannot move. It's being blocked at their own
00:23:16.500 ports. They cannot leave because President Trump has a blockade on the straight. So how do they
00:23:25.920 outlast it? The only way they do that is if somebody's funding them, but I mean, you can
00:23:32.240 only put up with that for so much so long if china or russia is funding them
00:23:36.920 but if they're not moving oil in and out of that country
00:23:41.900 there is no economy anybody knows that
00:23:48.340 now they go on a week after the ceasefire was reached on april 7th trump imposed a blockade of
00:23:55.100 iran applying to all ships entering the leave in the iranian ports this move followed the collapse
00:24:00.820 to the U.S.-Iran peace talks in Afghanistan, quote, I think Iran is in very bad shape. I think
00:24:05.660 they're pretty desperate. He said at the time, I don't care if they come to the negotiations or
00:24:09.740 not. If they don't come, I'm fine. Now, on Sunday, Trump launched a mission called Project Freedom,
00:24:15.720 the goal to help commercial vessels through the strait, including U.S. Navy escorts, only to say
00:24:20.780 Tuesday that the operation has been paused because of great progress and peace talks.
00:24:25.720 Iran's foreign minister confirmed Wednesday that it was reviewing a U.S. proposal to end the war
00:24:29.760 and relay it's a response via Pakistan mediators.
00:24:35.540 So they want to write it that he ended the policy,
00:24:40.540 Project Freedom, for some nefarious reason,
00:24:44.360 but then go on to say that Iran confirmed
00:24:47.680 that they're reviewing a proposal that America sent over.
00:24:51.080 You see how ass-backwards these people are?
00:24:55.760 How they literally lie right to your face
00:24:58.240 and then clarify their lie a paragraph later?
00:25:04.900 It's hysterical.
00:25:06.600 I mean, it's not really hysterical.
00:25:08.120 It's sort of sad.
00:25:12.120 Iran's economy is reeling from the effects of the war
00:25:14.320 as well from the persistent inflation
00:25:16.180 and economic mismanagement.
00:25:17.300 Okay, once again, changing the story from just above.
00:25:24.360 White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said
00:25:26.820 Iran is losing half of billions of dollars daily because of the blockade during Operation Epic Fury.
00:25:31.860 Iran was crushed militarily.
00:25:33.300 Now they're going to be strangled economically by Operation Epic Fury, losing $500 million per day thanks to the United States military successfully blockading Iranian ports.
00:25:42.360 The Iranian regime knows full well that their current reality is not sustainable.
00:25:47.000 President Trump holds all the cards as negotiators work to make a deal.
00:25:52.240 So this is where it gets interesting.
00:25:53.780 The CIA estimates say that Iran can survive the U.S. blockade for 90 to 120 days and maybe longer before facing more severe economic hardship, the four people from within the CIA said.
00:26:08.140 Iran is storing some of its oil abroad on tankers that otherwise would be empty because of the blockade, one of the people said.
00:26:16.900 Okay, how much oil are they storing on tankers?
00:26:20.420 those things leave they go they come back and they refill
00:26:24.140 are these people this stupid or am i missing something here
00:26:28.900 it's it's just so beyond idiotic the washington post would write a piece like this
00:26:36.560 the cia analysts might even be underestimating iran's economics resilience if tehran is able
00:26:42.560 to smuggle oil out via outer land routes truck and rail convoys can replace the volume of shipment
00:26:48.060 and open sea lanes, but might provide economic cushion
00:26:51.120 for one of U.S. officials said, which is total BS,
00:26:56.120 because if that were the case, it would be doing the same thing
00:26:58.100 across the sea in Saudi Arabia.
00:27:02.440 They would move nowhere near the amount of oil
00:27:07.700 if they were to rail it or ship it on trucks.
00:27:12.680 That's just common sense.
00:27:15.800 On the matter of Iranian weapons,
00:27:17.580 the confidential intelligence assessment said that iran's inventory missiles and mobile launchers
00:27:21.540 remains formidable iran's thought to have roughly 2500 ballistic missiles before the war began
00:27:27.340 as well as thousands more of unmanned drones and iran has used those weapons to launch retaliatory
00:27:35.760 strikes against the u.s allies in the gulf as well as u.s military sites across the reason
00:27:40.360 post-visual investigation found that iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least
00:27:45.800 228 structures or pieces of equipment at the U.S. military sites in the Middle East,
00:27:51.160 level of destruction far larger than what was publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government.
00:27:56.820 Whoa, 228 pieces of equipment they got.
00:28:03.320 It's still far less than the military equipment that Joe Biden left behind in Afghanistan,
00:28:09.960 I think I'd probably safe to say.
00:28:11.680 They say the timeline for when Iran can again start producing ballistic missiles, substantial quantities, has shortened, one official said.
00:28:21.000 To control traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, however, the missiles matter less than the lower-cost drones, analysts inside the government say.
00:28:28.860 And unlike medium-range missiles that can strike, these drones can be built in small warehouses and easily concealable facilities.
00:28:36.540 All it takes is one drone to hit a ship, and nobody will give insurance to the oil tankers.
00:28:46.020 The second they start doing that, I think they get obliterated.
00:28:50.120 The second they start attacks on commercial ships in the form of drone strikes.
00:28:57.320 Now, they say in early April, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that more than half of Iran's missile launchers were still intact
00:29:03.780 and then had thousands of one-way attack drones in its arsenal.
00:29:08.280 Former head of Iran's branch in the Israel military intelligence
00:29:11.900 said that even if the blockade lasted several months,
00:29:14.580 it would not force the regime to bend Washington's demand.
00:29:17.760 Problem is, they don't think they need to capitulate.
00:29:20.480 I disagree with them a little bit on that.
00:29:23.100 In the end, he said despite U.S. and Israel military successes in Iran,
00:29:26.560 the war's outcome still could be a strategic failure.
00:29:31.580 Explain that one to me.
00:29:33.780 it's just remarkable, folks, to see and to think that there's people this low
00:29:41.460 inside of our government, inside of our CIA.
00:29:47.180 And I have to assume, I don't know, and I'm going to go out on the whim and say this,
00:29:52.160 and I'm going to actually text Russ Tice tonight and ask him.
00:29:55.960 But a report like this would probably be privy to a handful of people.
00:30:01.300 In other words, what I'm saying is a handful of people that they probably can narrow down to figure out who is leaking, who is committing treason.
00:30:15.460 And the reason that these people probably feel so comfortable to leak and to do this treasonous behavior is because there's never been repercussions for it, right?
00:30:26.280 There's never been arrests.
00:30:27.880 there's never been people brought up on treason
00:30:31.800 so they think it's okay to go ahead and do this
00:30:39.160 until somebody does something about it now I hope
00:30:43.860 to high heavens tonight that President Trump is absolutely
00:30:47.880 chewing out and considering firing John Ratcliffe quite honestly
00:30:51.220 you know we've heard for months Tulsi Gabbard's the problem
00:30:56.300 Tulsi's the issue.
00:30:57.960 It's quite the opposite.
00:30:59.420 Tulsi's the solution.
00:31:02.420 Tulsi's the one who's in there
00:31:04.140 who hasn't been caught up in this deep state swamp.
00:31:12.320 Tulsi was actually a victim of the deep state swamp,
00:31:15.160 as you folks very well remember.
00:31:20.560 And that's why they want her gone so badly.
00:31:22.820 that's why they fought to get rid of her
00:31:27.480 and to make her look bad
00:31:29.800 thanks to people like Roger Stone
00:31:34.260 he's made sure that the president knows what's really going on
00:31:38.580 and Roger's in D.C. right now
00:31:40.260 I have to assume
00:31:44.320 giving the president his thoughts
00:31:48.220 and making sure the president knows the truth
00:31:51.300 now the doj is investigating folks i told you we're going to talk about this
00:31:58.740 suspicious iran war oil trading trends ups and downs in the war with iran may have been
00:32:05.220 opportunities for insiders betting on oil prices to make a killing according to a new report
00:32:10.480 i'm sure marjorie taylor green if she was still in congress she'd be betting on this
00:32:14.840 she's a hell of a stock trader by the way the report from abc news said that the department
00:32:20.100 of Justice has taken a close eye to look at several oil market trades that came just before
00:32:25.720 critical moments with the war with Iran. And for transactions under review, Justice Department
00:32:31.000 and Commodity Future Trading Commissions are examining trades that netted more than $2.6
00:32:35.720 billion to individuals who bet on oil prices to drop immediately before they did so.
00:32:42.540 At the start of the conflict on February 28th, the oil markets have been up and down depending
00:32:46.720 on the strategy America's response and expectations that oil might again flow freely the London
00:32:53.720 exchange the stock exchange group highlighted that trades which began on March 23rd 15 minutes
00:32:58.620 before President Trump announced a delay on attacks against Iran's infrastructure 500 million
00:33:04.400 dollar bet was placed that oil prices would dip on April 7th subsequently only hours ahead of
00:33:11.700 President Trump's announcement on temporary halt and hostilities, a $960 million bet was placed
00:33:17.940 that oil prices were going to fall. On April 17th, 20 minutes before Iran said the Strait of Hormuz
00:33:24.280 would open again, $760 million bet was placed that oil prices were going to drop. And then again on
00:33:31.020 April 21st, 15 minutes before the ceasefire was extended, $430 million worth of bets were placed
00:33:36.500 on predicting oil prices were going down.
00:33:39.880 It was not the last month that the conflict had been accompanied
00:33:41.900 by unprecedented betting events through online betting platforms,
00:33:45.520 with many bets being bets based on great precision on timed events
00:33:54.620 throughout the war.
00:33:56.880 So it really makes you wonder who's doing it and who's tipping them off
00:34:02.440 and who's giving them the inside intel.
00:34:06.500 inside of our government. I think it's questions, folks, that we need answers to
00:34:12.760 as American people. Definitely need answers to, because the insider trading in this country has
00:34:22.340 gotten so rampant, and we talk about it quite often on this show, but it's gotten so out of
00:34:28.380 hand that it's almost become a normality, and that's got to stop. Folks, that is all for us
00:34:34.420 tonight here on the great america show i appreciate as always like i said you guys joining and tuning
00:34:38.020 into the great america show and joining us and as i asked at the top of the show for your prayers
