Okay. We've been pressing those two points in this total war. Number one, you have to seize the financial assets of the Persians. And a lot of those financial assets, the ones not sitting in Switzerland are sitting. The bulk of them, we are told, are sitting in Dubai. Think about that for a second. A nation that we defend uae, and they can make that decision. Now, there is all types of chatter in Arab media that this is being done because that would be a big move. The pirate cove. They're used to having the pirate code as the double deal. Everybody even double deal themselves. And I think even some of the Arab nation is a little surprised about the level of assets they have, but this should be seized immediately. Also, they're absolutely correct. In the Gulf War, I think the vast amount was paid for the by the Arab nations. This should be 100% paid for Iran. Remember one of the war objectives, make sure they can't have power projection regionally. And obviously a big part of that is Israel. But it's also on the Arab nations. And one of the reasons you've seen some folks go wobbly is that they've hit the Arab nations, the desalination plants, the, some of the oil refiners, of course, the Israelis hit the gas plant, which I say the inflection point. But the point is that the Arab nation's got to write checks. First off, the value of their oil has over doubled already, just off the profits, just off the wealth increase. And they're all jumping on force majeure. The Saudis the other day, force majeure. They want to break the contracts with the West. They want to break the contracts of oil. That's at 50, 52, $55 a barrel. And the Qatar already, I think invoked on the five year contracts for gas or liquefied natural gas, if they liquefy it. These guys are making a fortune. It's time to get the checkbooks out and stroke the checks. I don't know why we would go to Capitol hill, ask for 200 billion until we go around and pass the hat there and say, hey, you in for that, you in for that? You and forget your checkbook out. I want to see a bunch of zeros at the end of this. Then whatever the net is, maybe you have to throw something in it. I don't even know why you would throw something in it. You know, maybe you got to go to Jerusalem too and say, hey, get the checkbook out. Let's write a check here, guys. Little something for the effort. As they said in Caddyshack, little something for the effort. I think it's what Bill Murray told the Dalai Lama after he caddied for him. He was about to get stiffed. We can't get stiffed over there. Scott Besson's up. He's given a talk about families and what President Trump's doing for tax cuts and what refund checks are coming and about Trump accounts, all these great things that President Trump's doing for the economy. Well, this pressure of paying for this Gulf war could wipe out a bunch of that. It shouldn't have to happen. We're saving people. It's completely indifferent to us. Get the NATO Navy, get the Royal Navy down. Keep Hormuz. Let's see their big plans keeping Hormuz and the Red Sea open. We talked about this last summer. Why are we, if we're going to if we're going to do this, which I don't understand why we're doing it, why are they not down stroking checks? And what they should do is just replace us. You know, all these guys, all the they're all great allies until it comes to actually either writing checks or sending people in harm's way, like our young men and women are volunteered by the political class daily to go into harm's way. Mike Davis is going to join us. There's so much more going on that we're going to get to all of it. We're also going to get back to the war and we're going to cut into Scott Besson if he talks about what's happening in in this war in the Gulf. Short commercial break. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot prices. At Today's prices, those 33 ounces of gold will be worth $165,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's why you need to consider buying gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth and today it is a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even better, Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account. In gold. Just text my name, Bannon B A N N Owen, to the number 98989 to receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information with an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers. Let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold. Now that's peace of mind. Text Bannon to 989-898. Again, my name, Bannon B A N N O N to the number 989-898. Do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. So from the turnover I did with Eric Bowling, just remember today ready in your number two principle that it was the first time that President Trump had talked about it. It was some specificity and backed up by the secretary of State or the the national security adviser. The markets did not respond. The oil market did not drop like it has dropped. In fact, West Texas Intermediate finished I think at 105 and 115 or about for Brent, it's not these specific numbers. It's kind of the pattern recognition. Trent did not back off. I think the markets need to see a little more information because the Iranians are coming out and pretty much saying, well, first off, nobody can figure out who's negotiating. Actually we're doing it directly. But a lot of different elements, remember, they're probably shattered into several different elements are denying it. Of course. The Interroom also reports that I keep talking about Aryan's this history of the retreat back from India of Alexander the Great and his army. They took the land route right on the rim right there on the North Arabian Sea and then into the Persian Gulf. As he put 50% of his troops on the ships and had them go through Hormuz. And it's just horrific. You got to read about this expedition. But they said, hey, Aryan in the morning and Caddyshack in the afternoon. That's range. That's what you come to the war room for. Mike Davis, I got two things for you. One is very disturbing and there's some good guys over there too. And I think they went along with this. The Senate, you agree to a deal that carves out ice and customs border. Now there is some theory, of course, Rosemary Jenks says, she's talked to appropriations and she says this theory doesn't work. That somehow the big beautiful bill, they got loaded in there somehow. But it's still not clarity of that. Although TSA somehow started getting paid today because CNN went to Houston's airport and they went to Atlanta's airport, which were two of the worst, if not the two worst. And it's like two minutes in there. I hope it's cause ICE agents that were there not getting paid were arresting illegal aliens. I don't know, but they're breezing through. Tell me about that. That's bad enough. Also, you know, we spent all this time, I could tell and the Warren posse understood it. Mike Lee is up there being a hero on the Save America act and try to seize the floor and force this. But besides him and Eric Schmidt and a couple of good guys, you just didn't feel the heat. The Save America act trying to go and get it and do the break the filibuster, do a standing filibuster. Seemed like a couple of people trying to force it. And then the Senate just, they took off in two way. They're gone in two weeks. So make this make sense for the, for the audience exactly what happened and who's accountable. Even, even Johnson, the speaker said I can't do this. They passed something totally different. So, you know, people are kind of outraged about this. Explain to us what happened.
