• 3:38
  Speaker 2: their engine. Room right, NOW Us marines have custody of the.

  Speaker 2: their prior history of illegal. Activity we have full custody
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of the ship and are seeing what's on board that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: is clear and. Unequivocal it'll be interesting to see tomorrow
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: if The iranians try to run the blockade. AGAIN i
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: predicted they try to run the blockade, again the same
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: thing will. Result and at the end of the, day
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: if you're a tanker full of, oil you're not gonna
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: do very well against The United States. Navy.

  Speaker 1: Ship we knew it was going to be dead in the.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Water this was flawlessly done and well planned out. Beforehand

  Speaker 2: Actions, yes that's. Right and, look it's not an accident
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that we hit the engine. Room we incapacitated the, ship
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: made it unable to move, forward and then boarded the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: ship and took over the. Ship and you could fully
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: anticipate if any other ships tried to run the blockade
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the same the same thing will. Result at the same,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: time we have a second story that, broke which is
• 5:22

• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Ede by the.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Military that is a. Lot and here's What President trump
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: put out Concerning. Iran, look we're cutting off their, Money
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: we're arresting people who are trafficking in. Arms And President
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: trump put out on true social, quote we're offering a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: very fair and reasonable. Deal if they, don't The United
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: states is going to knock out every single power plant
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and every single bridge In. Iran and then in all,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: caps no. More mister nice. GUY i gotta say pause
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: for a. Second if you're An Iranian, mulla you read
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that and you got to, think mister nice, Guy holy. Crap, Yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like in two two, months just about every single ballistic
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: missile's been taken. Out just about every single factory manufacturing
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: ballistic missiles have been taken. Out all of their air
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: defenses have been taken, out all of their drones have
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: been taken, out all of their drone manufacturing capability has
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: been taken. Out their air force has been taken. Out
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: their navy is sunk and sitting at the bottom of the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Ocean The ayatola is, dead the entire senior military leadership is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Dead and now they have a blockade Where iran can't
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: take in or out any. Oil and by the, way
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we're about a week away From iran having to shut in.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Wells and if and When iran shuts in, wells the.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Consequences people understand how significant shutting in wells.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Is so they're producing, oil and when you're producing, oil
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you're pumping it, out you're loading it into tankers and it's. Moving,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: now the problem is they don't have enough storage. Capacity
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: they're continuing to pump millions of barrels of oil and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they got to have a place to put. It and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: if they're not allowed to put it on tankers and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: take it, out they're running out of storage. Capacity so
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: their only choice that is to shut it down is
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to cap off the. Well now the problem is once
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you do, that what happens is water comes into the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: formation and reduces the pressure in the. Formation and when
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you shut in a, well when you come back a
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: week or a month or a year later and you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: try to get it producing, again typically it produces at
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a much lower. Rate So iran is risking doing permanent
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: damage to its oil, fields which is a source of.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Revenue that is massive leverage and the impact On iran's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: oil production and economy is going to be. Profound AND
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: i want to do a little bit of a deep
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: dive into what the impact of this blockade is. Having
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So Daniel lacall is an economist who tweeted the following out.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Quote blocking The strait Of hormuz with the support Of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: amon and Other gulf nations may have two. Objectives one
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Block iran's exports and inflow of hard, currency and two
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Make china Force iran to. Negotiate in realistic, terms being
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a strategic partner Of iran and the most impacted by any, shutdown,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: understand cutting off the oil it Hurts iran, badly but
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: most of that oil was going To. China that Hurts china.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Too the reason to do it now and not before
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this may be because eighty percent of the crude supply
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of The strait Of hormuz has already been replaced or re,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: routed so the impact on supply and demand for MOST
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: opec partners and customers is as small as, possible with
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the highest negative impact for The iran. Regime, FURTHERMORE opek
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: has already agreed to lift quotas by exactly the amount
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: That iran, exports right about two million barrels per. Day
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and let me do a little more deep dive in
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: terms of what this, means and this is a thread
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: For Mead maleki is a senior fellow AT, fdd which
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: is a fantastic think tank on The Middle. East here's
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: what he put out and this is really this details really.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Useful THE us naval blockade of The strait Of hermuz
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: would cost A ran approximately two hundred and seventy six
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: million dollars a day in lost exports and disrupt one
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty nine million dollars a day in, imports
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a combined economic damage of four hundred and thirty five
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: million dollars a day or thirteen billion dollars a, month,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: wow over ninety percent Of iran's one hundred and nine
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: point seven billion an annual trade transits The Persian. Gulf
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: oil and gas account for eighty percent of government export
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: earnings and twenty three point seven percent OF. Gdp Carg
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: island alone generates fifty three billion a, year or AS
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: i know at a, time seventy eight billion a year
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: in energy. Revenue crude Oil iran was exporting one point
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: five million barrels a, day earning one hundred and thirty
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: nine million a day at wartime pricings about eighty seven
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: dollars a, barrel though with minimal proceed repatriation due to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: banking sanctions a Blockade zero's that out. Overnight Carg, island
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: which handles ninety two percent of the, export sits deep
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: inside The gulf with no viable. Alternative that's one hundred
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and thirty nine millions a day. Gone how about petrochemicals,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Petrochemicals iran exported nineteen point seven billion in, petrochemicals and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: nine months of twenty four and twenty five fifty four
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: million a day virtually all of it ships Through, Asalua,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Iman komani And Shahid. Rajai, sorry my pronunciation is not
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: great on. That all inside the blockades, own no overland
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: route can move these. Volumes that's another fifty four million
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: a day. Gone all? Right how about non oil.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Exports irans by the, Way.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah iran's non oil trade hit fifty one point seven
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: billion in twenty twenty. Five after subtracting, petrochemicals eighty eight
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: million a day in, goods, minerals, metals et cetera flow
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Through Persian gulf, ports roughly ninety percent would be. Blocked
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that's another seventy nine million a day in lost. Revenue
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: over ninety percent Of iran seaborne trade transits The strait Of.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Hormuz Shahid Rajai bandarabas alone handles fifty three percent of
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: all cargo. OPERATIONS M. M komani handles fifty eight percent
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of basic goods. Imports bush air ports moved fifty seven
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: million tons last, year all deep inside The. Gulf. Alternatives
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: iran's options outside The strait are. NEGLIGIBLE jask the Must
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Outed bypass operates as a fraction of its one million
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: barrels a day design, capacity only ten out of twenty
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: storage tanks were built effective throughput seventy thousand barrels a.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Day chavahar handles just eight point five million tons a
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: year that the Five caspian ports combined handle eleven million
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: tons versus two hundred and twenty million through the. Golf
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: How about on the import, Side iran imported fifty eight
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: billion in goods in twenty twenty, five one hundred and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: fifty nine million a. DAY a blockade chokes off industrial,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: inputs machinery and consumer. Goods food inflation already hit one
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: hundred and five percent In february twenty twenty, six rices
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: are up seven. X this gets dramatically worse under a.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Blockade blockade will hopefully allow offloading of the humanitarian. Cargoes
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: final couple of, points extremely important topic is the storage.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Clock iran has fifty to fifty five million barrels of
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: total onshore oil, storage roughly sixty percent full spare, capacity
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: about twenty million barrels with one point five million barrels
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a day of surplus production that normally. Exports storage fills
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: in thirteen, days and that was from the start of the.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Blockade after, That iran must shut in. Wells this is
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: what we were talking about just a minute. Ago why
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: is this very? Important when mature oil wells shut down
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: bottom water rushes in a process called water, coning oil
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: droplets get permanently trapped in rock. Pores this oil can
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: never be. Recovered iran's fields already declined five to eight percent.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Annually forced shut ins could permanently destroy three hundred thousand
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: to five hundred thousand barrels a day of production. Capacity
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: that's nine billion to fifteen billion dollars a year in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: revenue gone.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Forever and to be, clear you can't get it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: BACK i think you need to, understand like that point
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you're saying, there it's not like you can, Go, okay
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we'll go over here and then drill and then we'll
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: go get what we lost earlier in. Capacity like like you,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: said once you shut them, in that capacity never comes.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Back, yeah you can reopen it to'll produce, some but
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: it will produce at a much lower. Rate all, right
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: what happens to? Currency currency collapse? Accelerant the real has
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: already cratered from forty two thousand to do what do
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: you think it is? Now plus forty two thousands to the.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Dollar it's now one point five million to the. Dollar
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: banks are limiting withdraws to eighteen to thirty dollars a.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Day overall inflation right now forty seven.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Family four eighteen to thirty dollars a day is the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: action can get out of the.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Bank right now, yep overall inflation forty seven point five.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: PERCENT a blockade eliminating all FOUR x earnings pushes the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: real into terminal hyper. Inflation the regime issued its largest ever,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: banknote ten million. Reals what do you think that's?
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: WORTH i have no. Idea what is?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: That?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Now about seven? Bucks ten million? Reals seven? Bucks the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: bottom line is. THIS a naval blockade imposes four hundred
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and thirty five million dollars a day in combined economic.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Damage storage fills in thirteen, days forcing well shut ins
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that cause permanent reservoir. Damage the real enters terminal. Collapse
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: iran's alternatives outside The strait can replace less than ten
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: ten percent of the golf through. Point the blockade makes
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: continued resistance economically. Impossible that is the Leverage President trump
• 17:10

  Speaker 1: the switch, today let's talk about the timeline here about
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we're talking about not months of survival, economically we're talking
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: about catastrophic blows to their economy center each and every
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: day and certainly each week that goes. By and when
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you say that's the, leverage like you're, not that's not,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: hyperbole THAT'S i mean on the ground. There when you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: limiting people taking out under thirty dollars a, day that's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: how bad it. Is they're forcing people to make those
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: types of decisions because otherwise the entire economy will collapse.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Instantly that's.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Right and the pressure on the, regime and remember The
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: chinese are pressuring them, too because The chinese want the,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: oil and by cutting off the, oils The chinese are
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: facing a real problem as. Well AND i Think President
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: trump is just gradually ratcheting up the pressure more and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: more and. More it's probably why they decided to risk
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: trying to run the, blockade because they desperately needed to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: move that oil and it turned out that is not
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: an option they have in front of.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Them, well final question on, this and obviously we're gonna
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: have a lot. More But democrats have been using AND
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: i had dealt with this ON tv other. Day the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: word they keep trying to use is this Is trump's.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Quagmire if this is the definition of, QUAGMIRE i count
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: me in for the rest of my. LIFE i want
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to be a guy that does, quagmires because this has
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: been incredibly successful so. Far but they're saying that clearly
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: trying to sway political opinion of the, president that this somehow.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Disaster these guys never aenning. War this Is Iraq afghanistan
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: two point. Zero that is not the case, here but
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: they're using it also for the. MIDTERMS i truly believe
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: we're on the cusp of something happening significant in a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: positive way for THE us because of all this just
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: from what you laid, out which is WHY i would
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: tell people take this, show share it wherever you, can
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: because when you do hear how close The iranian economy
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: is to total collapse and, disaster you realize just how
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: close and also how smart the president is to keep
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: doubling down on the, pressure because you're just getting them
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: even closer and close to. Brink this is in no
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: way at. Quagmire this is a success on economic, pressure oil,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pressure military. Pressure the list goes on and.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: On, look in The Iraq, war we had boots on the,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: ground hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground for multiple.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Years In, iran we have zero boots on the. Ground
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that's a hell of a. Difference, yeah this is not Remotely.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Iraq The democrats know. That. Listen The democrats started the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Day President trump began this military. Assault The democrats began,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: attacking not a, ran attacking. Him it used to be
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: that politics ends at the water's. EDGE i gotta, say
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: we did a classified briefing with all the top national
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: security officials of The admin just in the first few
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: days of this military, conflict and it was. Disgraceful democrat

  Speaker 2: senator After democrat senator stood up and just, attacked, attacked.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Attack they were totally. Opposed the Only democrat senator who's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: not Is John. Fetterman john has shown a lot of
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: courage standing up and, saying of, course this makes it.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Safer it. Does and in terms of what's happening, already
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: we have seen a massive military. Success is there even
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: One democrat other Than fetterman who will acknowledge the massive
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: military success that the military Goals President trump laid out
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: have been virtually one hundred percent. Accomplished that is an
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: unprecedented military. Victory and then the major goals of getting
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: A rand to permanently stop, enrichment to hand over their enriched,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: uranium to stop funding, terrorism and ultimately to remove to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: cause this regime to collapse and get out of Power
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: islamists who are Killing. Americans all of that is massively
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: important in terms of Making america much.
