  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: It is Ben Ferguson show. It is so nice to
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: have you with us. The current ceasefire between the United
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: States and Iran, it is set to expire Wednesday night,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and all signs now point to one conclusion. An extension,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: let's just be honest, is highly unlikely, and if that happens,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the next phase is not diplomacy. It's going to be escalation.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Based on what the President has said now, Wednesday's evening
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: timeline and this expiration of the two week ceasefire in
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the war between the United States and Iran means that
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: more than likely the bombing.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Will resume quickly.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: According to reports of phone interviews with President Donald Trump,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Trump said to Bloomberg that the ceasefire that ends Wednesday
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: evening washing in time and an extension is not only
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: highly unlikely, but if Iran does not agreed to deal
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: with the United States of America, this would be about
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: fifteen days after the President said, hey, we'll do it
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: two weeks. He's fire, but he also warned, We're going
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to hit you hard if you don't do the deal.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: He also told PBS News on Monday that lots of
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: bombs will start going off if a deal does not
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: materialize by the Wednesday deadline. Now, these interviews also come
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: as a well pretty clear indication that the US delegation
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: headed by Vice President J. D. Vance, and an Iranian
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: delegation seem poised for a second round of talks in Islamabad, Pakistan. Well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: there's real leverage. We're not bluffing, the President's not bluffing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: You can either do a deal or face the consequences. Now,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a source familiar with the matter also said that Vance,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Jared Kushner in the special envoice Steve Whitkoff would depart
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: soon from Islamabad. That was before the Wednesday deadline. Now
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: there was no report however them reporting by early Monday evening,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and as of the i ME taping this, it remains
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: unclear exactly when Vance will embark for the Middle East.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Citing two anonymous officials, we also have learned that Iranian
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: officials shared that Mohammad, the influential political and military figure
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: who attend the last round of talks, would attend if
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: mister Vance also did as well. The development comes after
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: some reports indicated that Iran did not have an interest
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in a second round of discussions. Now, as a Monday afternoon,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Trump announced via True Social that he would not enter
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: into a less than optimal deal due to pressure from Democrats,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: saying this, the Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Despite Were One lasting four years, three months and fourteen days,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and World War Two lasting six years and one day,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Korean War lasting three years, one month in two days,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the Vietnam War lasting nineteen years, five months and twenty
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: nine days, and the Iraq War lasting eight years, eight
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: months and twenty eight days. They like to say that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I promised six weeks to defeat I ran, and actually
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: from the military standpoint, it was far faster than that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But I'm not going to let them rush to the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: United States of America into making a deal that is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not as good as it could have been. I read
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the fake news saying that I'm under pressure, quote unquote
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to make a deal. This is not true. I am
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: under no pressure whatsoever, although it will all happen relatively quickly.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: The President also said that time is not his adversary. Clearly,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: time is the adversary of Iran. Before I get to that, though,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my good friends over
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: at bitcoin IRA, I got to ask you a question.
• 3:59

  Speaker 2: are going and diversifying. You can buy and sell bitcoin
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: inside a tax advantage IRA with bitcoin IRA, and that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: gives you more ways to diversify and grow your retirement savings.

  Speaker 2: protected by military grade multi key security and you're covered

  Speaker 2: up to two hundred and fifty million in digital asset insurance.

  Speaker 2: ben that's bitcoin ira dot com slash ben to open
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a free account and earn up to one thousand dollars.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Bonus right, now, Now why is the deal falling? Apart
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there are three major sticking points that are blowing up in.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Negotiation number, One iran's nuclear. Program THE us has been
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: crystal clear that we want A ran to halt uranium
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: enrichment and dismantle key elements of its nuclear, infrastructure And
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: iran is refusing to do exactly. That that is a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: red line on both sides as. Well on this, issue
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: there's also the second part which has become a much
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: bigger deal over the last couple of, weeks and that
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: is who controls The straight OF. Hornus and this is
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: now massive, because as we mentioned, before you've got about
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: twenty percent of the world's oil supply that flows through
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the narrow stretch of. Water now THE us is enforcing
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a naval, Blockade iran is threatening, retaliation and both sides
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: are using energy as. Leverage now this isn't just a regional,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Issue it's now a global. Issue and then the third
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: point is this the sanctions and. Power iran says they
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: want the sanctions on them lifted. Completely THE us wants
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: behavioral change on, terrorism on, missiles and on being a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: regional influence that is advocating for. Terrorism and when neither
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: side backs, down we know what. Happens diplomacy at that point.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Collapses we've witnessed it multiple times with dealing With iran
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and other terrorist. Nations But let's be. Honest the ceasefire
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is barely holding as it. Is just over the last few,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: days THE us was forced to Season iranian cargo Ship
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: iran launch drones AT us. Vessels oil spiked nearly six
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: percent on fears of escalation. Alone this is not what
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: piece looks. Like this is what a pause before the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: next round looks. Like if we're being. Honest so what
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: happens if On wednesday the ceasefire actually, expires if there's no,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: deal well then we know exactly what our presence says
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: is gonna. Happen airstrikes will, resume naval engagements are going to,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: increase and cyber attacks on infrastructure will more than likely. Happen,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: now THE us has already positioned forces in the, Region
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: iran has already warned that it will, retaliate and this
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: then becomes what it was, before a major tit for tt,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: escalation and it happens almost. Instantly now the stratiform moves
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: is also the most important flash point at the. Moment
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's the most dangerous piece of. Puzzle If iran tries
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to shut down or disrupt the straight that's when oil
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: prices skyrocket. Overnight the global markets then can plunge supply
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: chains could be thrown into, chaos and we're already seeing
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: early signs of that volatility in the marketplace as we.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Speak and that is where this regional conflict becomes a
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: legitimate global. Crisis we also know that if there is
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: no deal that's, done you've got it worried about expanded regional. War,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: now this doesn't stay. Contained is what many. Believe iran
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: has proxies across the. Region they've Got hesblat In, lebanon
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: militias In, iraq and influence In, yemen and if the conflict,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: resumes those groups could then be, activated which means now
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you're looking at multiple FRONTS us allies that are being.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Targeted Literally israel becoming more directly involved than what they already,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are and at that point you're no longer talking about
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a contained. Conflict it is a legitimate regional. War so
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: here's the key. Question why would THE us allow the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: ceasefire to. Expire it's a fair, One so let me
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: explain it to you this. Way Number, one it's Because
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Donald trump understands the strategic. Standpoint the administration believes clearly
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this A ran is not only weakened, militarily but the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: economic pressure is working in its moving, rapidly and now
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is the moment to force a, deal a force a decisive.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Outcome in other, words it's as. Simple you either extend
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the ceasefire and risk I ran, regrouping or you end
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it and increase pressure dramatically. Overnight so what does all
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: this mean for you as An? American, well if the ceasefire,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: collapse you're going to feel. It gas prices will, rise
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: energy costs will, Increase inflation pressures will be coming back
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: because energy is the backbone of the global. Economy when
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the energy markets get, disrupted we've witnessed it week after,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: week everything gets more. Expensive and this also will reshape
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the global, alliances especially in The Middle east and Also.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: China they're watching this very. Closely they rely heavily On iranian.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Oil europe is already nervous about energy. Stability In, russia
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: by the, way is benefiting from the higher oil, prices
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: meaning more money into their pocket for their war Against.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Ukraine so this isn't just A Us iran. Issue it's
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: now become a global chess. Board and the question now is,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: this will The president start Bombing Iran's bridges and Will
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: iran also feel it with their power.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Grid the answer is pretty.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: SIMPLE i think it's definitely a, yes because The president
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: has done exactly what he said he was going to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: do time and time.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Again he's not bluffing With.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Iran there is a very interesting new poll that has
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: just come out and it says something that, WELL i
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: want your take. On nearly one third of registered voters
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: now say all illegal immigrants should be. Deported, yes nearly
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: one third of registered voters say that every single illegal
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: immigrant in The United States america should be. Deported this
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is a new survey from The economists and you goov found.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Now the survey first asked respondents this which comes closest
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to your view about illegal immigrants who are living in THE. Us,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: overall forty three percent of registered voters expressed the belief
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that they should be allowed to stay in THE us
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and eventually apply for. Citizenship that numbers followed by about
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: forty percent who say they should be. Deported only seven
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: percent said they should be allowed to stay in THE
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: us but not become. Citizens now here's the interesting. Part
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the survey then asked respondents to identify which illegal immigrants
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: they believe should be, deported and nearly one third of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: registered voters thirty one percent said all illegal immigrants should be.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: DEPORTED a majority of registered voters sixty, percent agreed that
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens convicted of serious crimes should be removed from the,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: country followed by nineteen percent who believe illegal immigrants convicted
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of minor crimes should be deported as. Well only three
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: percent believe that illegal aliens who have lived in THE
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: us for many years without committing any crime should be.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Deported now also something, else just three percent believe illegal
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: immigrants who came to THE us as children should be. Deported,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: now there's a sharp difference in opinion on party. Lines
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that's not surprising at. All Most republicans fifty seven percent
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: believe all legal immigrants should be. Deported twenty four percent
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Of independence and seven percent Of democrats. Agree, now Most
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: democrats And independence eighty one percent and sixty three, percent,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: respectively believe illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes should be.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Deported.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Now the survey was taken and it was a very good.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Sample this survey comes as The department Of Homeland security
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: continues to highlight arrests of dangerous criminal legal aliens across the.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Country their crimes include crimes against. Children jose Rivera, orta
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a criminal legal alien From, cuba for, example was arrested
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: BY ice and was convicted for leude battery on a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: child In Miami Dade, County. Florida another, Arrests Jacob Pablo,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: ramirez hailing From, guatemala was convicted for attempted statutory rape
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: of a child In Dublin, County North. Carolina other crimes
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: include voluntary, manslaughter, robbery an aggravate assault with a deadly.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Weapon in, fact just, YESTERDAY ice arrested some truly sick,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: individuals including, murderers, pedophiles sexual, predators and violent thugs that
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: coming from THE Dhs Secretary Mark Wayne, mullen he said
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in a statement a coming The april fourteenth press, release
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: highlighting the fact that nearly seventy percent of ALL ice
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: crime in The United states Of. America, now this poll
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: number is interesting because if you listen to the, left
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you listen to, media they make you think that the
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: president is completely out to lunch and that he's crazy
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: to think That americans want illegal immigrants to be.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Deported, well guess what they're.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Wrong and, yeah they put out a ton of propaganda
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: on this exact. Issue but that also is interesting from another,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: perspective is that propaganda working as well as they thought
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it was going. To the reality is probably. Not americans
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: understand the crimes are being committed against. Them they understand
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: what it's doing to their. Communities and that is exactly
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: why The president of The United states Of america continues
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to stay steadfast on this. Issue it's also a reason
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Why republicans should listen up and watch closely to this,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: data especially going into the midterm. Elections so here we
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: are another moment where the media lied about what The
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: american people. Want the media lied about where the president
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: was with The american. People and, yes many of them
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: are still supporting the president and they believe that, immigration
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: specifically illegal, immigrants should not get to. Stay, instead they
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: should be. Deported Donald trump and big news coming from
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: The White house as The president has now cited The
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Defense Production act to BOOST us oil. Production, now let
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: me walk you through this major. Development it could have
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: serious implications not only for your, wallet also your energy
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: bill And america's position on the world. Stage Now President
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: trump has moved to invoke The Defense Production, act and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: this time it's aimed squarely at one, thing BOOSTING us oil.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Production The White house is. Confirming now that might sound
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: like some politics to, you, right like bureaucratic, Jargon but
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: make no, mistake this is directly going to affect your
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: life in a very big. Way, now let's talk about
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: what The Defense Production act even.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Is it's a Powerful Cold war air.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Law it was originally designed to ensure The United states
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: could rapidly ramp up production of critical minerals during times
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: of national. Emergency you think About war. Two you needed,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: steel you needed, weapons you need medical. Supplies now we've
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: seen it used in modern times during the crisis not
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: too long AGO covid and what was it used for
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to accelerate the vaccine as well AS ppe. Production but
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: now the target is new and this time it's straight up. Energy,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: energy by the, way is not just about filling your gas.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Tank it's also about national, security one of the things
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the present's been talking a lot about, lately making sure
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: That america isn't held hostage By iran or any other
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: country in the. World it's also about economic stability and global.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Leverage if you don't know what you're going to pay
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: each month for energy costs and they skyrocket or double
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: in tree and no time at, all, well that is,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: instability something the present also wants to make sure we
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: get rid of.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Now for, years THE.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Us has been in a toga war with foreign energy,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: producers countries Like, russia for, Example iran and Then. Opek
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: they can manipulate supply and drive up global prices basically
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: whenever they want. To part of the reason why The
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: president has made it clear in his first campaign in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen that he was about, drill, baby, Drill and
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what The president's talking about this time. Now
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: when supply is, tight the prices are, spiking and you're
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: witnessing it right. NOW i went today to fill up
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: my car THAT i bought not that long, ago and
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: originally WHEN i filled it, up it was thirty seven.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Dollars TODAY i put ninety dollars in my gas. Tank
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: that is unsustainable for Many. Americans and that's Why President
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: trump is doing this. Now whether it's the price of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the pump or the electric, bill the grocery, store it doesn't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Matter as The White house said when transportation costs go,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Up it Hurts american, families it weakens our, economy and we're,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: now as The White house, said taking back. Control, now
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: let me explain how The Defense Production act. Works, now
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: by invoking This, act the federal government can number, one
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: prioritize contracts for domestic oil. Production number two direct resources like, steel,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: labor and infrastructure towards energy. Development, three it now cuts
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: through major regulatory. Delays and, four it provides financial incentives
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: or even guarantees to producers to produce maximum. Capacity in other,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: words it fast tracks, production which is exactly What america
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: needs right. Now so instead of waiting years for permits
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: or pipelines or refinery, upgrades the government can accelerate the process.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Dramatically it's essentially putting oil production on a wartime. Footing
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: let me say that. Again we're putting all production in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: THE us on a wartime. Footing we're treating energy independence
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: not just as an important, issue but literally as a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: national emergency and a national security issue as. Well so
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: what does that mean FOR us oil? Production, well the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: goal here is real. Simple we need to increase output
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: quickly and at. Scale that can mean reopening or expanding drilling,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: operations boosting output from existing, wells investing in refining, capacity
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: so crude oil actually becomes usable fuel. Faster and here's the.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Key The United states already has massive reserves and the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: capability to lead. Globally the issue has never been weather
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: we can, produce it's whether we, will and this move
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: clearly answers that. Question so for a, consumer is this good? News,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: well let's bring that home to you and your. Family
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: if what the presence trying to do is, successful increasing
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: supply should number, one lower energy, prices specifically gas. Prices
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: it will stabilize the energy, markets meaning you know what
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to plan on spending each and every, month reduce the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: volatility caused by foreign conflicts or production cuts FROM opek
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: or other, nations giving them the upper hand well and
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: taking it right, back which is what The present's trying to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Do when supply goes, up prices tend to come, down
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: or at least stop, skyrocketing which is exactly why this
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: matters for Every. American and maybe most, importantly it means
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: less to penance on foreign.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Oil something The president ran on in twenty.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Sixteen it reduces the risk of sudden shocks to the
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: market when geopolitical tensions flare up in The Middle east
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Or Eastern. Europe and beyond gas, prices there's also a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: major ripple. Effect cheaper fuel lower shipping, costs and lowering
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: shipping costs can ease inflation and what you pay for
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: basic goods and. Services that affects everything from your groceries
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to online. Orders so this isn't just an energy policy
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: decision coming From Donald. Trump it's an economic policy and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a national security policy as, well and it goes back
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to What trump has been talking about for quite some.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Time there's a strategic layer. Here energy dominance gives The
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: United states leverage on the global. Stage it means we're
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: not only less reliance on our, adversaries but also more
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: ability to influence our. Allies it gives us so much
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: stronger negotiating place to the table and negotiating from a
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: standpoint of power in international. Conflicts it's also really about
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: controlling our own, destiny because the countries that control energy
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: often control the. Conversation, now not everyone agrees with this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Move the critics are already yelling ON tv and from the.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Rooftops they're saying this will have environmental. Consequences because it's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: not done in a green. Way it may distort markets
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: with government, intervention they, say which they don't. Want but
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: to be, clear what this is really about is The
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: president saying to The american, People i'm going to do
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: EVERYTHING i can to make sure that national security wise were.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Safe but also you have more of your hard earned
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: dollars in your. Pocket and why Are democrats fighting this right?
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Now actually for just one really simple. Reason they want
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: gas prices to say, hi and they want you to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: feel instability in your own life financially heading into the midterm.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Elections to be, Clear democrats have never had a problem
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: with high gas. Prices they want to force you into
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: buying an electric, car but this time it's for a different.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Reason they want you to hurt and your family to
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: hurt so that maybe you'll vote for them Come. November
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and that's part of the reason why the president needs
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: to act quickly and, decisively just like he did. Today
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: there's something incredibly ironic and it just is laughable at
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: this point happening In, WASHINGTON. Dc Dan rather is now
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: among two hundred, journalists you, know those that say they're journalists,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: right non bias, individuals those that say they don't put
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: their own personal opinions into their journalistic, work their. Integrity
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: we all know they're. Lying there's massive bui in the.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Media almost every quote. Journalist when they, quit they become
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: a radical. Lefty they start a, podcast and then they
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: tell you what they really, think which is what they've
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: always thought. Along they hate, conservatives they Hate Donald, Trump orange,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: man it's. Bad you go through the, list it's pretty. Clear,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: well now these journalists of two hundred plus have joined
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the longtime media, figure you, know the non biased and
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: rather and now they're demanding that The White House Correspondence
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: center call Out Donald trump to his. Face that's, Right
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: they're calling For President trump to be publicly admonished at
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: The White House correspondence. Dinner now just think about that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: for a. Second this is the one night that's supposed
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to celebrate. Journalism it's, independence it's, integrity it's commitment to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: holding power accountable no matter who's in. Office and yet
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: what we're seeing is not, independence it's, coordination it's not,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: objectivity it's literally. Activism because when you have more than
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: two hundred journalists collectively demanding a political message be, delivered
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and at what's supposed to be a non partisan. Event
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you're not acting like referees. Anymore you're literally stepping into
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the field and being an. Activist, now the issue isn't
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: whether you agree or disagree With Donald. Trump the issue
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: for me is this is journalism still journalism or whether
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: it's becoming a political movement with press. Credentials that's WHAT
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: i believe it actually. Is and when reporters who claim
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: their non biased start organizing literally like, activists signing, letters pushing,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: narratives demanding public denouncement of The president Of United states
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Of america to his, face not only are they boring
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the line that they're supposed to, protect but the telling
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: you exactly who they. Are they're not journalists at. All
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: they're hardcore liberal, activists and that is exactly why the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: public has lost their trust in. Journalism, now let's be,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: honest this is not. New this is just another blaring
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: example of how biased the media has. Become we've seen
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: years of selective outrage where some politicians are relentlessly targeted
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: while others get a huge.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Pass if you don't believe, me look.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: At Eric swallow's entire career and the only reason why
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the media turned on him last week was because they
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: were afraid they were going to lose the governor's mansion In.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: California they protected him while he was going after, women
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: but then when it was politically expedient to get rid of,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: him the journalists started acting like journalists and reporting the.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: News we've seen this over and over, again and yet
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: what do we see from the press a clearly coordinated
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: push to turn a dinner that's supposed to be on
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: partisan into their political. Platform imagine for a moment if
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the roles were, reversed if two hundred journalists demanded a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: public takedown of A democratic president at this, event would
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it be framed as speaking truth to? Power or would
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: it be condemned as, biased as, inappropriate as crossing the?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Line we all know that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Answer so what this really means to me is this
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: trust in the media is already at historic, lows and
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: it's moves like this that don't rebuild the, trust they
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: reinforce the skepticism based on. Facts americans are watching and
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: they're asking a simple. Question are journalists even reporting the story?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Anymore or are they actually just trying to manipulate and
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: shape a narrative every time they go ON? Tv or
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: write an article in the. Newspaper they're not informing the public.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Anymore they're literally influencing the, outcome and that includes our.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Elections so if The Core correspondence decide to do this
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: at the, DINNER i Hope Donald trump smacks them back,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: hard calls them out for their anarchy and for what
• 29:08
