00:00:00.000 We just got a report right now, two hours ago from an insider, a good friend, that Rangers
00:00:05.740 said this Sunday they're being deployed, you know, boots on the ground, going out this
00:00:11.780 Sunday, and they're calling their families, hey, this is what's going on.
00:00:15.020 This is a Ranger.
00:00:15.900 This is not somebody to, listen, we are getting deployed, and they're telling us here's where
00:00:19.480 we're going.
00:00:20.440 So if he's talking like this that we're negotiating, but on the back end we're sending in, is he
00:00:26.580 trying to deflect and confuse?
00:00:28.560 Is that Trump's line of doing things?
00:00:31.600 Because if he doesn't and it comes back and it was a nuclear negotiation
00:00:34.960 and you just killed 50 of their family members, you thought they were angry?
00:00:40.320 You just increased the temperature of anger to a whole different level that the world.
00:00:44.500 So then the people that were non-interventionists are going to come out and say,
00:00:49.080 what, I told you you shouldn't have gone in the first place.
00:00:51.900 So he's in a very interesting place.
00:00:54.060 but again I voted for him to you know in these situations to trust the decisions he's making
00:01:00.020 let's see what they're going to be doing because no matter how much we talk about guess what we
00:01:04.000 don't have we don't have all the information we don't have all the intel we know what they're
00:01:07.860 going to be doing Rob did you find that clip I'm still looking yeah it's a it's a it's a clip from
00:01:12.680 two days ago where he says that so if you do find it let me know uh any thoughts yeah it's a lot of
00:01:18.960 smoke screens but I think that's intentional and I mean if it's going to follow the patterns of
00:01:22.800 what he's done in the past it's something he's distraction distraction distraction uh confused
00:01:27.120 people and then boom out of nowhere something swift fast and uh super effective happens where
00:01:32.140 i like i don't think the triple e is going to ultimately play a role in whatever happens
00:01:35.720 because everybody in the world's looking at it watching it saying okay it's three days away now
00:01:39.380 it's two days away now it's one day away now so i i think something different's going to happen
00:01:43.020 aside from that uh maybe with carg island but you know there's no way that we just make a deal with
00:01:47.640 them now because that would be a worse situation than we went into in the first place so it gets
00:01:51.380 It goes from an extremist hostile regime to a pissed-off extremist hostile regime with oil at a higher price and with all the infrastructure for oil halfway damaged.
00:02:02.660 So, yeah, no, you have to go all the way now, no half measures.
00:02:05.560 Tom?
00:02:06.720 Yeah, I hate it because I like that Maduro was in and out.
00:02:13.400 I like that I thought we had conducted a precision bombing up in the hills and had gotten to some nuclear facilities.
00:02:20.980 And now there's a little part of me that's like, you know, here we go again, weapons of mass destruction, except that now we can see a missile going 4,000 miles.
00:02:30.460 We see one, and you can't have that, right?
00:02:32.640 Now that you have a missile, it's like North Korea.
00:02:34.340 When you have an ability to throw a missile this far, now you're just scared to death on what kind of a bomb can be on top of it.
00:02:40.180 Now you have trouble.
00:02:41.980 And so I'm with it.
00:02:43.220 We've got to finish this up.
00:02:44.540 We have to do it.
00:02:45.340 You know, if we see the reports that the USS Tripoli is there, the USS Boxer, which we brought up on this podcast first, has left San Diego a week ago and is in route.
00:02:56.220 It's still over a week out.
00:02:58.580 And, you know, at the end of this this ultimatum, you know, they got to get it together.
00:03:04.760 I mean, the Iranians have a decision to make at the end of the ultimatum because Trump has got a set of arms and a set of tactics that are ready.
00:03:13.900 The FT Financial Times ran a story talking about ground invasion of Karg Island.
00:03:20.720 Everybody is waking up to the fact that's, wait a minute, the Americans are not just talking back and forth here.
00:03:25.380 This is not a debate like in the American Congress.
00:03:28.460 The Americans are continuing to move their military assets around.
00:03:31.800 And at the end of this saying, if we don't have an agreement in place, they're going to take the next step.
00:03:37.380 And the next step is going to be Carg Island.
00:03:40.640 And by the way, the U.S.S. Tripoli is also part of what's called the – is really called the Iron Dome.
00:03:47.320 But it's an envelope of protection so all the minesweepers can clear the rest of the gulf.
00:03:52.680 So Trump has next bullets in this gun, and he's serious.
00:03:57.840 This is not a long discussion, Pat.
00:03:59.680 This is that, you know, we talked, I mentioned it earlier, he's very good at, you know, these distractions where, similar to Midnight Hammer, if that is a similar situation, well, at least for a short period of time, it would probably impact oil prices higher.
00:04:13.840 So it would be a good time to go long oil.
00:04:16.160 Also would probably hurt bond prices and for a period of time hurt stock prices.
00:04:20.620 So that is something to contemplate, you know, if you're listening to this on, you know, from a business perspective, that's something to contemplate.
00:04:28.880 but clearly it's a much bigger picture here.
