00:00:21.980 a lot went on over the weekend we're getting to it all ilan omar is she under investigation for

00:00:29.280 immigration fraud? Hillary Clinton, is she planning a funeral for Bill Clinton already?

00:00:35.420 I thought she was doing that like 20 or 30 years ago. Mike Johnson weighing in on the Republicans

00:00:40.340 chances for the midterm elections. We got an update on what's happening over in Iran

00:00:45.580 as President Trump and Scott Besson unleash the biggest economic sanctions to ever be unleashed

00:00:52.520 on a country before on Iran this afternoon. And are we in a trade war with Canada? Well,

00:00:57.960 Their prime minister, Mark Carney, is certainly telling people so.

00:01:01.460 We're getting to all that and much, much more today's episode of The Great America Show.

00:01:05.440 So be sure to let us know where you're tuned in from, if you're enjoying the show, and all that good stuff in the comments or chat below, wherever you guys are joining us from.

00:01:13.860 Or if you're joining us on good old-fashioned audio, be sure to please go ahead and drop it in the comment sections there.

00:01:19.940 So let's begin tonight with the big, big news, as Elon Musk just gave Republicans unbelievable news heading into the midterm election.

00:01:29.620 Elon, of course, who briefly became the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX went public in June, is expected to spend around $200 million on boosting the electoral prospects of Republicans across the country.

00:01:43.440 Wired is reporting that the ultra-tech entrepreneur plans on boosting Republicans like Ken Paxton with massive voter turnout spending as the midterms are just around the corner.

00:01:54.240 Now, Musk conducted similar operations in the lead up to the 2024 election, which included a million-dollar-a-way giveaway for voter registrations in swing states.

00:02:02.920 His midterm spending could dwarf that in 2024 as he reportedly spent $70 million through his PAC to aid President Trump and down ballot Republicans while campaigning on the proposed Department of Government Efficiency.

00:02:16.640 The massive sum will add to the pile of cash that the Republicans are touting over the Democrats and their rivals.

00:02:22.380 The RNC has about $115 million cash on hand in their lead against the DNC, which is settled with more than debt than capital, which is 73 days until the election.

00:02:34.960 Now, that, of course, is to thank none other than Kamala Harris and her failed presidential campaign.

00:02:40.440 To make matters worse for the Democrats, Republicans continue to set records for fundraising, and it's come clear victors in the battle to redistrict due to the favorable rulings on the Voting Rights Act and Virginia's illegal redrawing.

00:02:55.180 You folks all remember that.

00:02:57.160 And the polling favorability for the Democrats is likely to narrow as Republicans pour massive amounts of money into key races around the country, and those are Senate races.

00:03:07.480 I think the big one, as I mentioned just there before, is the Ken Paxton race in Texas where you've got that freak, James Talafrico, running for that seat there.

00:03:20.720 That's a massive one that Elon will dump money into for sure, and I think we'll see money dumped in across the board because it's an extremely, extremely important race to hold.

00:03:33.740 You've got the main race.

00:03:34.880 You've got Alaska.

00:03:35.560 I mean, you've got races all across the board.

00:03:37.480 And the Republicans have the money to spend.

00:03:40.660 It's just a matter of if they spend it in the right place,

00:03:43.800 which is constantly the problem we see having with the Republicans.

00:03:47.900 Mitch McConnell, when he was in charge,

00:03:49.720 was dumping money into the most absurd race as possible.

00:03:52.640 I think now that we look at it, it was probably done on purpose. 0.99

00:03:57.860 It was probably done to waste money and to ensure

00:04:00.360 that the Republicans don't hold any majority.

00:04:03.460 But then again, you look at. John Thune. And he seems to be no different than Mitch McConnell anyway.

00:04:14.900 The good news is, is this money that they have, this money that they're spending, President Trump has control of and President Trump will say where it goes, not John Thune and his little arm of the, you know, the N.R.S.C.

00:04:27.760 They'll waste their money where they will.

00:04:29.260 But President Trump and Elon Musk, I think, will spend their money where it needs to be spent.

00:04:34.340 And I think that's probably the most important part.

00:04:36.460 Now, Mike Johnson has fundraised out the wazoo.

00:04:41.820 I mean, he's done it for all his downfalls, has done a really good job fundraising.

00:04:46.740 I mean, he's broken, I think, a bunch of records.

00:04:50.640 And he's ready.

00:04:51.420 And I think, like I said, to his shortcomings and downfalls, he's done a good job with that.

00:04:57.280 And I think he's done a pretty good job with keeping the House United on racist.

00:05:02.420 Now, Mike Johnson over the weekend saying that we have a clear distinction here. 0.97

00:05:10.980 This is a race of communism and the crazies.

00:05:15.840 Let's take a listen. 0.96

00:05:16.600 They are so divided within their own.

00:05:18.860 It's a fascinating thing to see the Democrat Party.

00:05:20.880 They're in the midst of now an open civil war, truly.

00:05:23.780 They don't know what they stand for, who stands with them.

00:05:27.320 They don't have a leader.

00:05:29.100 They're kind of a rudderless ship.

00:05:30.700 But the thing that is so, I think, alarming, let me use that word, alarming for the American people,

00:05:37.140 is that you have open Marxists who are winning primaries in that party.

00:05:41.700 Hakeem Jeffries is the top leader, the Democrat leader in the House,

00:05:46.240 but he lost his slate of candidates in his own backyard.

00:05:49.360 Several weeks ago, you saw Mamdani endorsed a slate of radical far left candidates, DSA approved and endorsed candidates, and they all won.

00:05:58.560 And one of those races was in the Bronx in Hakeem Jeopardy's own backyard.

00:06:02.380 So he's having a challenge inside his own camp.

00:06:05.400 And this is an alarming thing for everybody.

00:06:07.960 Yeah, I think alarming probably says it nicely that we see these.

00:06:13.940 And we've done shows on this and we've discussed this, I think, in great depth about the rise of the DSA candidates and that, you know, I don't think it's to be taken lightly.

00:06:23.680 You know, if we take it as a joke. Come November and lose.

00:06:33.340 We look like total fools. Now, Mike Johnson was asked also over the weekend by Peter Doocy if he believes Republicans can win even without this war in Iran being wrapped up. 0.94

00:06:43.120 Here's what he had to say.

00:06:44.320 Can Republicans, though, win and hold control of the House if the Iran war is still going on in November?

00:06:52.220 Absolutely. It would be helpful to get that thing resolved in the next 73 days.

00:06:56.880 But if it's not, we're still going to win.

00:06:59.000 People know we took the head off the snake.

00:07:00.740 We had to make sure the largest state sponsor of terrorism does not have a nuclear weapon.

00:07:04.740 That was an objective of every administration for the last 50 years.

00:07:08.240 Donald Trump did it. And now we've got to resolve that.

00:07:10.220 I think we're going to get into a new phase here very soon.

00:07:12.520 but we still have oil being transported through the straighter home news we had

00:07:16.000 80 million barrels or something i think on tuesday alone so this is we're getting the job done

00:07:21.400 step by step you can't trust the iranians on the other side of the negotiating table that's the

00:07:26.160 challenge but i believe our allied nations are going to assist in the next phase as we'll get

00:07:29.660 this finished and i think the biggest thing that we have to worry about is fraud which obviously

00:07:38.900 we still haven't gotten to the bottom of we still don't know what happened in the 2020 election

00:07:43.880 heck we still don't know what happened in that election in california just a few months ago

00:07:48.600 where spencer pratt was you know poised to go to this runoff and boom all of a sudden

00:07:53.520 this socialist comes out of nowhere who of course was a plant by the democratic party to pull votes

00:08:00.820 and sweeps on in.

00:08:05.100 So I think with things like that,

00:08:08.880 you have a real problem.

00:08:12.300 I mean, the Republicans win on the issues, for sure.

00:08:14.480 The Republicans win on the issues 100% of the time.

00:08:19.340 Cutting taxes,

00:08:21.940 trying to make life better for all Americans, 0.63

00:08:25.200 keeping our borders secure 0.91

00:08:26.540 to ensure that we don't have a cesspool of illegals as we saw under Joe Biden. 0.98

00:08:36.340 So they went on the issues. 0.82

00:08:40.080 The messaging is hard because Republicans can't get their heads out of the ground

00:08:46.700 to figure out what the right messaging is and what the wrong messaging is.

00:08:51.140 Telling the voters, oh, socialism is bad, is not going to win you an election.

00:08:54.720 It doesn't give you the full scope of what really goes on with these people.

00:09:00.820 Folks, we're live tonight for The Great America Show.

00:09:02.740 We're going to take a quick break here, less than 60 seconds.

00:09:04.900 We're coming right back.

00:09:05.700 We've got big news on Iran and the massive rollout of economic sanctions that Scott Besson announced today.

00:09:14.920 We've also got some big news on Ilhan Omar.

00:09:16.980 And is she under investigation for marrying her brother?

00:09:21.000 We've got all of that and much, much more coming up on the other side of this quick break.

00:10:00.460 So, like I say, I say it till I turn blue, but I truly do appreciate each and every one of you guys who tunes in.

00:10:07.980 God bless you. You're all patriots as we all are. Hillary Clinton.

00:10:12.380 I thought she's been trying to kill Bill Clinton. I don't know, for 20 or 30 years. 0.98

00:10:16.480 It's been reported they don't exactly get along, but it's being reported today that Hillary Clinton has reportedly begun making plans for the eventual funeral of her husband, Bill Clinton, as concerns continue to mount over the 80-year-old former president's health.

00:10:32.060 Radar Online is reporting Hillary, who's 78 years old, has started arranging an elaborate memorial service while Bill is allegedly reviewing his estate and making potential changes to a will reportedly valued at $120 million.

00:10:46.480 Now, something tells me if Hillary wasn't looking over Bill's shoulder, probably not leave her anything.

00:10:52.480 Now, according to Radar Online, Hillary's tentative plans include a traditional funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., followed by Bill's burial at a near the Will Clinton Presidential Library Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas.

00:11:07.820 One presidential historian cited that the outside speculation that Clinton could even request to be buried near the library's rooftop garden, which is described as one of his favorite hangouts, should also be noted that the funeral planning for the former presidents is not necessarily evidence or immediate medical crisis.

00:11:25.120 Washington National Cathedral spokesman told Radar Online that living former presidents have state funerals planned under developments.

00:11:32.340 But I think it's sort of interesting that Hillary already has Bill one foot in the ground.

00:11:40.600 But I guess what else can you really expect from Hillary Clinton? 1.00

00:11:44.900 Now, speaking of radical Marxist Dems, the federal government may have just confirmed something by accident.

00:11:52.760 As ICE is refusing to disclose records on Ilhan Omar's fraud probe,

00:11:57.280 side-going enforcement proceedings that are ongoing.

00:12:01.480 Federal government's refused to turn over any records related to an investigation that's being conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement

00:12:07.360 into allegations of immigration fraud by Congressman Ilhan Omar, setting a legal exemption for ongoing investigations.

00:12:16.300 Just the News is reporting this as they do terrific work.

00:12:18.860 John Solomon does terrific work.

00:12:20.640 He's a great American.

00:12:21.780 He and Just the News filed a Freedom of Information request to request for records back in January.

00:12:27.440 They were seeking records pertaining to any investigations that's being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations that Congresswoman Omar, who represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country.

00:12:42.660 Now, Ilhan Omar, of course, denied these allegations, no court records, DNA evidence or other documentary proof was ever sustained that Ahmed Nur Saeed Elmi, Omar's legal husband from 2009 to 2017, was her biological brother.

00:12:59.560 ICE instead responded, and this is a direct quote,

00:13:01.980 ICE has determined that the information you request is being withheld

00:13:04.540 in pursuant to Title V U.S.C. 552-B7A.

00:13:09.820 Disclosure of any responsive records at this time

00:13:12.680 could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.

00:13:17.340 Now, this was from ICE in response to just the news's FOIA.

00:13:23.700 The FOIA exemption cited by the agency applies to records or information

00:13:27.080 would have been compiled for law enforcement purposes when their release could disrupt such

00:13:32.260 proceedings. Now, the Trump administration's border czar, Tom Homan, first said in December

00:13:38.200 last year that the Department of Homeland Security was investigating whether Ilhan Omar committed

00:13:42.460 immigration fraud by allegedly marrying her brother. He says, we're pulling records. We're

00:13:47.420 pulling the files. Now, this was last year. He says, we're looking at it. And I think he's probably

00:13:54.000 on top of it. Also earlier this year, Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed that the Justice

00:13:58.620 Department was also reviewing those allegations. He said he didn't want to prejudge an investigation,

00:14:04.140 but it certainly seems like something is fishy there. If we think there's a crime,

00:14:08.160 we're going to prosecute that crime. And that's something that the Department of Justice is

00:14:11.940 looking at. The allegation that Omar's second husband, Ahmed Nur Sayul Elmay, is related to

00:14:17.780 her or even her brother first surfaced in 2016 during her election campaign for that seat in

00:14:22.380 minnesota at the same time allegations emerged when she married her second husband that she

00:14:27.680 should still marry to her first husband omar of course vehemently denied these allegations that

00:14:33.940 she married her brother and is legally married to two people at the same time i mean what is she

00:14:38.980 going to do admit it now the timeline of omar's relationships is not in dispute omar was born in

00:14:46.160 somalia and lived in a refugee camp in kenya before coming to the united states in 1995

00:14:50.500 In 2002, Omar applied for a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi, but not marry him civilly, only in a Muslim ceremony.

00:14:59.600 So is that legally binding? Probably not.

00:15:02.260 In 2008, she separated from Hirsi a year later, married Elmi.

00:15:06.560 This is the man who's allegedly a brother, who probably a good chance he is in their culture.

00:15:14.100 In 2011, Omar and Elmi separated with a Muslim divorce, and a year later, she began another relationship with Hirsi.

00:15:21.200 After her election in the Minnesota House, she filed for a formal divorce from Elmi in 2017 and married Hirsi in 2018.

00:15:29.340 So she did a Muslim wedding with this first guy, breaks up with him, does a legal marriage with her alleged brother,

00:15:37.080 and then just a few years later, breaks up with him and is back with the first guy that she married.

00:15:42.740 So I think it's sort of interesting, and I don't know what the proceedings will be.

00:15:47.940 I don't know what the government can do, but I think a simple DNA test for people who came to this country on a green card or came to this country via visa could certainly answer a lot of questions, certainly answer a lot of questions about if you married your brother.

00:16:09.380 And quite honestly, if it's me and I'm being accused of marrying my sister, I'm going to put that thing to sleep right away.

00:16:17.940 i'm going to get the fastest dna test i could possibly get and we're putting the the matter

00:16:26.480 to sleep but omar has been uh i think hesitant to do that and uh i think it's probably pretty clear

00:16:34.440 uh why she's so hesitant folks we're taking one more quick break here live tonight on the great

00:16:39.480 america show like always let us know where you're tuned in from um rumble youtube twitter please

00:16:43.940 Be sure to hit the like, subscribe and follow button and let us know if you're enjoying tonight's show.

00:16:50.140 We got a lot more to get to. Mark Carney is declaring war on America.

00:16:55.220 Can Canada really possibly think. They're at war with America and what the heck are they going to do about it?

00:17:03.540 We're going to tell you about the threats that have been leveled this afternoon by Canada and what they're threatening to do, how they're threatening to hurt Americans.

00:17:11.280 We're also going to tell you about President Trump's plan today that has been unveiled by Scott Besson in the Treasury Department.

00:17:18.200 It's the largest economic sanctions ever, ever to be levied on Iran as President Trump apparently takes a new path towards getting these people to come to the table.

00:17:36.080 we've got no choice midterms around the corner and people want this thing wrapped up

00:17:42.480 so the bombings i guess didn't work economics are next we're going to bring all of that to you and

00:17:50.720 much much more on the other side of this quick break so please stay with us don't turn that

00:17:54.440 dial we are coming right back right here on the great america show please stay with us

00:17:59.120 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here live tonight on The Great America Show.

00:18:08.780 As always, please let us know where you're tuned in from,

00:18:11.400 and if you're enjoying The Great America Show or if you're semi-enjoying it.

00:18:16.260 So let's begin first with what's going on with Canada.

00:18:19.540 President Trump is fed up with them.

00:18:21.520 They've been taking advantage of us for years.

00:18:23.960 Tariffs, we're going to get through all of that.

00:18:25.500 but first mark carney this afternoon has declared war on america here he is mark carney is going to

00:18:34.000 war trade war the tone because we're attacked um like you're at war when you get attacked we got

00:18:43.260 attacked um u.s put 50 we waited until the united states decided to actually implement

00:18:48.580 the so-called 338 tariffs.

00:18:51.840 That's fine.

00:18:53.480 We've got the reserves.

00:18:54.720 We've got the resilience.

00:18:55.800 We've got the plan.

00:18:56.920 We've got the focus.

00:18:58.020 We will respond.

00:18:58.860 We're going to focus on what we can control.

00:19:00.260 We're going to build.

00:19:02.860 In terms of, let me say this, in terms of measures and tax and others,

00:19:08.480 we are constantly looking at our tax system, how we can make it as fair as possible,

00:19:14.960 shift the burden to those who are most able to pay,

00:19:19.820 and in a way that incentivizes investment and entrepreneurship.

00:19:25.800 We are all elements of the following.

00:19:29.620 Build Canada strong.

00:19:31.400 It is the plan.

00:19:33.820 And so we want builders to put money to work in new businesses, in big infrastructure.

00:19:39.480 We want them to put to work in Canada.

00:19:42.180 And that makes it strong in ways for all.

00:19:45.720 I'll give it a break.

00:19:46.980 Carney, I got bad news for you.

00:19:48.140 You're going to be the next Keir Starmer.

00:19:50.440 He messed around and he found out and Keir Starmer was on his way out, which, by the

00:19:54.400 way, I called months ago and he was out the door.

00:20:00.500 So congratulations, Carney. 1.00

00:20:02.640 You've made yourself look like a total buffoon. 0.96

00:20:04.260 And soon the people of Canada will start to turn against you when their prices go sky 0.99

00:20:08.460 high.

00:20:09.480 But the latest threat is a little bit scary.

00:20:11.780 They're threatening, at least Premier Ford, to look at the prospect of cutting off electricity to the United States.

00:20:20.900 That's fine. If Canada wants to play ball that way, what we've got there, folks, who you on the screen, is the Canadian pipelines.

00:20:27.620 Now, you may notice something there that each and every single one of their pipelines, the Northern Gateway, the Enridge Mainline, the Keystone, the Express, the Rangeland-Bow River systems, they all run through America.

00:20:51.420 So if you want to throw that switch, as the great Lou Dobbs used to say, throw that switch and cut off power to New York that imports electricity from Quebec and Ontario or New England, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, or Michigan from Ontario or Minnesota, North Dakota, Pacific Northwest, Washington.

00:21:21.420 If you want to do that, I think it's probably a smart idea for you folks to realize.

00:21:32.460 This simple diagram of your pipelines.

00:21:36.340 Canada's playing a very, very, very tough game.

00:21:40.080 And they're going to lose.

00:21:41.660 I'm not sure of many things, folks, but I can promise you Canada will not win this one.

00:21:47.220 A defenseless nation, I must say, militarily.

00:21:51.420 People-wise, it's one they're not going to win.

00:21:55.160 Now, those are people who don't understand, because I think there's probably a lot of people who don't get it, and it's not a slight.

00:22:01.200 It's people who don't care.

00:22:03.360 For the people who say, oh, let off Canada.

00:22:08.480 Let's talk a little bit about that trade imbalance that President Trump is so upset with.

00:22:12.560 The $48 billion trade gap in 2025, the U.S. bought about $48 billion more in goods from Canada than Canada bought for us.

00:22:21.420 or the roughly 300% tariff on dairy products.

00:22:26.880 Once certain import limits are exceeded,

00:22:29.160 Canada can charge $2.50 to $3 in tariffs

00:22:34.440 for every $1 on certain American dairy products.

00:22:38.600 Think about that.

00:22:41.720 Up to $3 tariff, three times more than $1 on each of the products

00:22:49.120 or the 35.5% dumping margin on Canadian lumber.

00:22:54.220 The U.S. government found certain Canadian lumber was being sold in America

00:22:57.600 far below what the U.S. trade officials considered a fair price.

00:23:02.140 Or the about 17% Canadian lumber subsidies.

00:23:05.120 The U.S. government also found that Canadian lumber companies received government support

00:23:09.240 that gave them a price advantage over American lumber companies.

00:23:13.240 That's not fair trade. That's not USMCA.

00:23:16.200 the u.s government identified nearly 100 canadian lumber subsidies and these programs that were

00:23:24.480 being done or the five percent charge on major streaming companies canada requires that certain

00:23:32.420 large streaming companies to put a five percent tariff on canadian revenue towards canadian

00:23:37.740 broadcast systems this of course hits major american companies like netflix amazon disney

00:23:42.960 and others. Or the more than 50% Canadian

00:23:46.980 television channel requirement, where Canadian television distributors

00:23:51.100 generally have to make more than half of their channels Canadian, limiting how much foreign

00:23:54.980 including American content can fill those slots.

00:23:59.040 So Canada, you want to always seem like the victim? You ain't the victim.

00:24:04.840 Our farmers are the victim.

00:24:06.200 victim always the victim always poor canada orange man bad poor canadians no it's poor

00:24:18.600 farmers it's poor america it's time to put america first enough this bs always the victim 0.83

00:24:24.760 give me a damn break had it up to here with those people now let's talk about another country that's

00:24:32.260 having a little bit of a hard time. Iran's currency plummeted through another historic 0.97

00:24:36.780 low this afternoon as President Trump's administration prepares new sanctions.

00:24:41.880 The Iranian real just crashed to a record low of $2 million against the USD.

00:24:49.000 In other words, you're a billionaire in Iran if you have just $495 today. This is all part of 0.82

00:24:56.680 president trump's latest economic plan to level iran economically and i said this is where you

00:25:03.440 hit them i've said from the beginning bomb their ports you want to rebuild them later okay we'll

00:25:08.680 talk about that at the time but we need to level them right now economically i've never been in 0.71

00:25:13.720 favor of blowing up bridges and power plants i don't think the civilians should pay the price 0.99

00:25:19.480 for their scumbag regime. But hurting this country economically, the IRGC and the Ayatollah 0.98

00:25:26.720 is where we need to go. So this afternoon, Scott Bessett announced Operation Economic Outcast.

00:25:35.140 Today, we are launching Operation Economic Outcast to foreclose every other option available

00:25:42.260 to the Iranian regime. Treasury has mapped every node, every facilitator, and every network that 0.91

00:25:50.620 Iran has used to smuggle oil and evade sanctions. Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other

00:25:58.260 agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC

00:26:05.520 and the evil Iranian regime. 0.94

00:26:08.260 We are enforcing a zero-leakage approach. 0.96

00:26:11.520 There will be no minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity

00:26:15.720 to inflict terror against America and the world.

00:26:20.060 The final refuge of this regime is the mistaken conclusion of nations 0.87

00:26:25.560 that still finance the Iranian threat in the hopes of evading it.

00:26:29.860 It is no longer acceptable to operate in the gray spaces of this conflict. 0.61

00:26:36.540 Countries cannot claim they are blind to enabling this activity. 0.68

00:26:41.700 Iran's enablers purchase, transport its petroleum.

00:26:45.840 They facilitate the flow of its finances through exchange houses and free trade zones.

00:26:50.980 They welcome Iran's flights and maintain registries on its behalf.

00:26:54.860 They turn a blind eye to seaborne fuel transfers and overland transits. 0.74

00:27:01.720 They condone illicit use of their banks, all the while concealing the extent of their complicity.

00:27:08.520 The president is making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime.

00:27:17.620 We are already seeing results.

00:27:19.980 Over the weekend, comments from Iranian leadership clearly acknowledged the effect of this campaign,

00:27:26.600 and nations that facilitate any interactions with the regime should quickly heed our message.

00:27:35.140 Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership.

00:27:39.400 Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime. 0.69

00:27:48.820 Teams from Treasury, State, and the U.S. military are now meeting with their global counterparts to tell them that the United States expects action.

00:28:00.000 Every country has a defined timeline to shut down activities we have identified.

00:28:05.600 If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally through Treasury authorities.

00:28:10.520 For example, every branch of bank melee must be shuttered and dark.

00:28:19.700 And let me be clear, any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the U.S. dollar system.

00:28:30.940 This is massive because this is sending a warning sign to any Middle Eastern countries, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or any of these countries

00:28:39.820 who want to do business with Iran, you're going to now have to deal with America. 0.78

00:28:45.200 Or we won't deal with you, rather, I guess is probably a better way to say it.

00:28:48.420 Besson says that results are already being seen

00:28:51.000 after a short time of rolling out these economic sanctions on Iran.

00:28:55.600 We're already seeing results.

00:28:57.540 Over the weekend, comments from Iranian leadership

00:29:00.200 clearly acknowledge the effect of this campaign

00:29:04.140 And nations that facilitate any interactions with the regime should quickly heed our message.

00:29:12.700 Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership.

00:29:16.960 Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime. 0.69

00:29:26.360 Teams from Treasury, State, and the U.S. military are now meeting with their global counterparts

00:29:32.780 to tell them that the United States expects action.

00:29:37.600 Every country has a defined timeline to shut down activities we have identified.

00:29:42.540 If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally through Treasury authorities.

00:29:48.240 For example, every branch of bank melee must be shuttered and dark.

00:29:57.240 And let me be clear, any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the U.S.

00:30:07.160 As you heard in there, just reiterating it.

00:30:10.380 We're back.

00:30:12.660 Besson says Iran is now faced with two possibilities.

00:30:16.240 What are they?

00:30:16.740 Iran now faces a very clear choice with only two paths before them. 0.72

00:30:23.140 Complete global isolation and a subsistence economy or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy today.

00:30:34.180 That's it. Make your decision, Iran. 1.00

00:30:37.340 But I think this is the right path for Trump and the administration.

00:30:40.660 Level them absolutely economically.

00:30:43.540 And then we'll catch all the folks who want to do business with them.

00:30:46.740 And they'll pay the price.

00:30:48.020 Folks, that's all for us today here on The Great America Show.
