What Iran releases to the public is not what Iran is saying to the Trump administration. Now, I would acknowledge that in neither instance can the Iranians be trusted. But make no mistake, Iran is battered. It is beaten, its air force destroyed, Navy sunk. And yet, no matter what's really in this 10 point plan that's getting all the attention, the only agreement actually solidified is that there is a two week cease fire. Now, I would argue that because nearly every military target slated for destruction has been destroyed and since the Straits of Hormuz are just about opened, even if temporarily, this is a huge victory and a step in the right direction for Iran and the United States. And make no mistake, I believe our Secretary of War long before I believe CNN and the New York Times, no other president has shown the courage and resolve of this Commander in Chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire and we all know it. Well, it's clear to me, Iran begged for this ceasefire. The regime is obliterated and they have learned that President Trump doesn't bluff. So Iran blinked, not President Trump. Six weeks ago, the President looked the American people in the eye directly and he told them that he launched this operation to take out the imminent threat that was posed by Iran. And that threat has now been greatly destroyed. But like the lying, deceitful and dangerous regime that Iran is, they can't help but push the envelope. My warning to Iran, tread very lightly. We are now learning, yes, Iran is opening the straits, but it wants to force ships passing through the straits to make toll payments and in cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin. Why? Because it's all untraceable. Right now, vessels are being told to email Iranian authorities describing their cargo prior to passage. Iran will then respond with the exact fee to be paid in crypto. That charge, we are being told, must be paid within minutes, if not seconds, of receiving it. That is totally unacceptable. There is no way President Trump will stand for Iran turning a global shipping lane into a shakedown operation. And this one move could threaten the ceasefire. Under the current regulatory framework for crypto, Iran can demand the untraceable digital coins, hold the world hostage and get away with it. But President Trump has a plan for this, too. The media will never tell you that the crypto President wants to ensure all Americans can benefit from crypto, all the while preventing terror states like Iran from using it to finance murder and of course, evade sanctions. You would think everyone would agree from both sides of the aisle, no matter where you stand on the war, using crypto to victimize the world and make an end run around the global economy should not only be made illegal, it should be made impossible. This is why I'm worried about the ceasefire deal. The ink isn't even dry yet and Iran just proved it's incapable of being trusted. But apparently we are ready for that, too. Here's our Secretary of War. We'll be hanging around. We're not going anywhere. We're going to make sure Iran complies with this ceasefire and then ultimately comes to the table and makes a deal. So we'll stay put, stay ready, stay vigilant. As the Chairman laid out, our troops are prepared to defend, prepared to go on offense, prepared to restart at a moment's notice. All right, so listen. Right now you will hear a lot from the mainstream media about these Iranian demands. They don't matter because Trump has red lines, a free flowing straits of Hormuz, the uranium, all of it turned over, and no nuclear weapons program. Without that being finalized, Iran will face more destruction that I can guarantee. Well, look, what the President has said is that we don't want Iran to have the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. The President's also said that we don't want Iran enriching towards a nuclear weapon and we want Iran to give up the nuclear fuel. Those are going to be our demands during the negotiation. And again, we're going to see what the Iranians are willing to give up if they make a good faith effort to actually give us the things that we need to have a successful negotiation for the security of the American people. I think there's a lot on the other end. So I'm with the Trump team. We've got to try this. But I don't remember Iran ever making a good faith effort with me. Now to discuss this, retired CIA officer Sam Faddis is with us. Sam, it's great to have you back on the show. Great to be here. Thank you. All right, Sam, who are we talking with? Who are we negotiating with? This seems to still be a very big question. Yeah, I think it is. It is a big question. I mean, I think really the way the question I would translate the question is, are we talking to one entity? Is there a single person or a single group in charge in Iran? And that remains unclear. To me, I mean, one of the ways they have fought over the last X number of weeks is by decentralizing. So today we saw a whole bunch of missiles and drones fired at various targets in the Gulf. Unclear whether that means they were immediately breaking the ceasefire or we're just not really talking to one entity anymore. So that's a dramatic complicating factor here. All right, there's this word of using cryptocurrency to pay for passage through the Straits of Hormuz. A lot of people reporting on this, including shippers themselves, are reported that they're getting word they need to carry this out. No way Trump agrees to this. But what is Iran doing? They really, before the inks dry, they'll press the issue on this. Well, look, you talked earlier about the ten point plan. When I'm talking about the ten point plan, right now I'm talking about the ten point plan that the Iranians themselves have published on their state tv. So I'm not taking that from any other network. That 10 point plan is a non starter, as you've suggested. It contains all kinds of provisions. I mean, it says straight up, they will continue to control the Straits of Hormuz and they will continue to charge a fee. I mean, their 10 point plan amounts to a surrender document for us. So clearly it is, it is a non starter. But that is what they, the Iranians have put on the table at this point. All right, look, and I'd remind everybody at home, none of this is an agreement to the ten point plan. It's just literally we're start working with this and we'll see where it goes. President Trump's not going to agree to that. Sam, I'm curious, your CIA sources, even open source intelligence, this uranium, we have an idea, I sense where it is. Is it possible to get to. Is it the bottom of one of these mountains that's just crushed in after these bunker busters? Can we even get it out? Do we know the status of it? Your thoughts on the uranium? Yeah, well, the short answer is we don't know enough. Right. I mean, everybody likes to talk about where it is and exactly its status as if we had some, you know, 100%, we had some sort of crystal ball. Do we have some strong ideas where it is? Is some of it absolutely buried because of we've attacked these sites? 100%. But we don't know for sure that there isn't also highly enriched uranium, at least up to 60% sitting at sites we don't even know. So a very Complex picture. All right, I think the big question now is what is Iran's capability of carrying out attacks? I think it's pretty clear to me that the Air Force is destroyed, the Navy is sunk, and all those things. They still have got some missile batteries that they're moving around. But what about these terror cells? What. What about, you know, going rogue on. On foreign soil? Whether it's the United States or our allies, what is their. Their ability to wreak havoc on the world right now? Yeah, well, look, I think you're putting your finger on something very important. You know, their capacity to confront the United States military and fight us conventionally is. Is nil. And it. And it was never significant. That was never a fair fight. They're not interested in that. Right. They're interested in threatening the world's oil and gas supply. They're interested in hitting soft targets and civilian targets. They have terrorist proxies worldwide. They undoubtedly have terrorist cells on our soil. They can hit American targets all around the globe, and they continue to be able to hit big, soft targets. Like, you got a giant refinery or petrochemical plant, and you send 100 drones at it, we shoot down 90%, that's great. But 10 drones, still getting through is too much. Right. That's where their threat is. Unconventional, asymmetric. And so I take it they still have an ability to carry out those things? Yeah. Look, these drones, particularly the Shahi drones, you can build these things in a garage. They use a motorcycle engine. They're made of fiberglass. If you can work on your fiberglass boat, you have the technical capability to build a Shahi drone. So you start taking out, talking about taking the facility that produces these drones. What are you talking about? Literally, you could be doing these in private residences and small garages, more or less indefinitely. Are they going to take down an American destroyer or carrier? No, they're not. But can you hit a refinery with one? Yeah, and cause a big problem? All right, so China is involved in this as well. I mean, China's spent a long time propping up Iran, using it as a forward base. Are we able to track. I mean, can China send a giant transport plane loaded with drones into Iran? Can China supply Iran at all right now, or do we have total control of what's coming in and out of that country? Well, let's put it this way. If we want to, we should be able to seal Iran off completely. The United States Navy rules the oceans. United States Air Force controls the airspace. We can close Iran totally to anything. We can prevent Anything from getting in, we can prevent anything from getting out. Now do we current. Are we currently doing it to that extent? We are not, but we absolutely 100% can. And there's nothing the Iranians can really do about it. All right, I guess then should we. I would think we should be doing that. Look, 100, 100%. Why are they, why should the Iranians be able to sell oil? Forget about taking Kharg island to get out of the Persian Gulf to any market. You have to sail out into the Indian Ocean, into the United States Navy, let them load the oil in a tanker at Carg island and then as soon as it comes out to sea, we seize the tanker, take the oil, sell the oil and completely seal them off. We can do that anytime we want. Well, sounds like that would be a good idea. I'm sure it is on the table with this administration. Sam Faddis, your work inside the CAA and your insight here is always greatly appreciated. Appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Absolutely. All right. Now I want to talk about how dumb the mainstream media is. You know, we mentioned this 10 point plan that Iran has literally pushed his propaganda. Well, CNN jumped on this. You have to be so stupid to think that America, that President Trump would agree to a basically a surrender document that claims all sanctions would be dropped. Okay, I'm going through what the bogus document entails that the US Would retreat from all bases. And CNN bought this. Okay. And that we would accept that Iran could enrich nuclear weapons and the nuclear capabilities. Give me a break. It is laughable. Listen to CNN spell this all out. Two things really stand out here. One, the safe passage that Trump is saying is going to be provided for two weeks as part of this, kind of the central part of it, through Hormuz they're saying is possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces, which obviously implies that Iran controls the Strait. And then from the National Security Council, they say this confers upon Iran a unique geopolitical, economic and geopolitical standing in terms of them regulating passage through the Strait of Hormuz. They're reporting all of this as news, as if it's real. The moment I read this is the moment I knew it's propaganda. And again, the Trump administration says they may release a 10 point plan to the public. It's not the plan that the administration is talking about and it's not even close to the plan the administration has agreed upon. You have to be an idiot to think that it was. Now maybe they've been hanging out with Joe Biden and Barack Obama for too long because they might agree to something like that. President Trump, not so much. Here's Caroline Levitt. The Iranians originally put forward a 10 point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable and completely discarded. It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team. Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States. And that is false. 100% false. Yet they picked this up. Why? Because I think they like the idea of trying to make it look like President Trump is losing when he's winning. Roll cut 21 for me, guys. Behind the glass, this is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut jumping right in there with Aaron Burnett. That Donald Trump took a military action that has apparently, at least for the time being, given Iran control over a critical waterway that they did not have control over before the war began. So it just doesn't sound like there's actually an agreement because when Trump is saying is totally different than what the Iranians are saying. But if Iran has the strait permanently now, what? What an error. Hey, ding dong. The only people dumber than Aaron Burnett and Chris Murphy, please excuse me, are the people of Connecticut that voted for Chris Murphy as their United States Senator. These people are ding dongs. Okay? President Trump, as I said, has lines in the sand. We know those lines in the sand. You're telling me it was all for nothing? You would destroy every military capability Iran has and then surrender to them? Come on. The markets didn't believe it. Okay. We saw huge gains today. Oh, praise Jesus. I loved looking at my Fidelity account today and my Schwab account. Wow, it was great. Oil was down from $115 down to about 97, $98 a barrel right now where it is. And I believe it will only come lower. Kevin o' Leary of Shark Tank agrees with me. And if you look historically to have really an effect on the economy towards a recession, on energy prices, you need oil at above 95,5 for at least three months. I don't think it's going to stay there. It's going to go back to the 70s pretty soon. We saw the shock today on the downside, oil traders got caught offside. I mean, I have to be optimistic. So I agree with them. I don't think we're going to see three months of 95 or $100 a barrel gas, West Texas crude, in my opinion. I'm based in Dallas. I've been around the oil business a lot. I believe break even is about $50 a barrel. Where do they make money? I think if you're in the 70 to $80 range, they're producing a lot of oil. It's very profitable to do so. I think America can handle the price of gas at that level. This is the United Refining CEO, John Katsimatinis. He also owns WABC in New York. Roll it. The minute we settle something, it went down $20 a barrel. And right now we're still in a risk period. The risk period is the next. Let's see what happens the next two weeks. Once that risk period goes away, it's going to go down another $20 a barrel. It'll get closer to the $65 a barrel that we were pre war. All right, so $65, $70. I think you're in a good spot. I like the $70 a barrel price because it incentivizes producers to get out there and start producing a lot of oil out of the ground. I want to bring in now someone who does just this. The founder and CEO of King Operating Corporation, Jay Young is with us. Jay, welcome to the program. Hey, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. All right, Jay, you've been around the oil business a lot longer than I have. What do you think of my assessment? $50 a barrel at break even, if we get around 70, $80 a barrel, we're going to unleash this. This thing. Isn't that what Billy Bob Fortin said on landman? He says 70, $80. I mean, hey, we're good, right? No, but really, I. Rochelle Wells, Wolfcamp, shell, Permian Basin. $50 a barrel is about your price for break even. The stuff that we're drilling is not. It's not that high. But. But still, we're looking at profitability above the 30, $40 level. Anything above that is gravy. Now, one thing I will say is we are. We have a big, huge problem. As my wife likes to say, we have a problem, you know, and, you know, that's what she says. But anyways, we have a problem because we've had a lot of oil that has not been able to go down that strait of her moose. I'm talking about 12 to 15 million barrels a day for weeks. 30, 40 days. Weeks. And we've got several hundred million barrels of oil off the market, and that is not good. When you have supplies that you need, 100 million barrels and you don't get it. Yeah, let me take another take on this. I get in the short term, it's not good, but we're almost energy Independent in the United States. We don't use a lot of that oil coming out of the straits. You know who does? Europe and China. And you know what? I think President Trump was a side effect of this, teaching Europe and specifically China a lesson. You want to have oil independence, stop pandering to Iran, to Russia, and handle your own business here and you handle the straits. I think this was by design. I think the pain was by design. And Europe will feel it more than the United States will. Jay yeah, I agree with you. I agree. We need 20 million barrels a day in the United states. We're producing 13. We're getting 3 to 4 million easily out of Canada. We do export some oil because we can't refine it all here and we don't produce that kind of oil that Venezuela, which, hey, Venezuela's up to almost a million barrels a day now in the United States. So not a bad dealer. Trump I like that idea. So we're producing here in the United States and we'll continue to do so. Jay, how do we get from the 13,000 barrels to the 20,000 barrels you say that America needs producing, that right here in the United States. Are we on track to get back to that point? What do we do? What's your advice to the president? Yeah, well, we can't, even if we drill, baby, drill like nobody's tomorrow. I mean, there's just not enough rigs and rig counts been down. And the more we drill here in the United States, the more oil we put on the market. And the more oil we put on the market, the price goes down. And when you get below the, what was it, $55 a barrel Mid December this year you're paying $1.92 at the pump. When you get down there, all the operators say, hey, we're not drilling for a while. We're going to sit on the sidelines. 30, 40% of rigs in the Permian Basin are offline. And those and I've been saying for a while that oil prices are going to go up in the summertime into this year without the war. I've been saying it without the war, because rig counts down, number one. Number two, the wells that come online, especially Wolfcamp Shell wells, they decline rapidly, 30, 40% the first year, if not more. And number three, demand is skyrocketing. We can't get rid of demand. So we need more oil now than we ever have. We're just not producing it. So prices are going to go up and we're just going to see this. I Don't think we're going to go, I like 70, $80 a barrel like you and Billy Bob. I love it. I think $80, $90 a barrel is more realistic. I think 80 bucks will be our bottom. It's going to stay, it's going to stay higher. Kevin o', Leary, I think it doesn't necessarily follow the markets like we do, but he's, and he's not seeing that several hundred million barrels off the markets over in the Strait of Hormuz just because they shut all those wells in Saudi Arabia, they shut those high pressured oil and gas wells off. And when you shut wells like that off because you're producing millions of barrels a day and you can't transport it through the straits, so you just shut your wells in, you turn them back on. They don't come back on like they were before. It's not like a spigot. So we're going to have a problem with supply. I think we're going to get a lot of supply out of Venezuela. And you wait and see. By the time this is over, Jay, we're going to be getting supply out of Iran too. And we're going to be controlling it, selling it to China. And I promise you that's going to come, that's going to come to fruition. But I'm with you. This is why this, you can't have super cheap oil in the United States. If we want to be energy independent, it just doesn't work. What we really need is some stability. I'm sure real quick j 10 seconds. That stability would be really well for us if we just held $80 and held it for months and months and months. That's helpful, correct? Be very helpful. Or operators can drill and not have to worry about lower prices. It would be great if, if we could stick it there. I know we can't because it's cyclical, but supply and demand. But it would be great if we could, we get a lot of wells drilled and we, we could drill our way out of this. Jay, I appreciate you coming on the program and laying it out for us. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. Absolutely. All right, folks, America is focused on strengthening domestic energy production and securing reliable resources for the future. One company to do that we're going to do that is Lost Soldier Oil and gas. Look, we talked last night about Lost Soldier and the history of management at Lost soldier taking companies public, 100x on your returns. Now, all these deals have risk, but if you go to lostsoldier.com that's lostsoldier.com hit the invest button. You can look for yourself at how this deal shapes up 40000 acres stacked natural gas deposits where literally they've already drilled and hit high pressure gas. Very very clean. So you know the gas is there. But this history of management. I'm looking at Ultra Petroleum, Pentaco Petroleum the CEO took public and and one company a hundred X on your money.

Leave it to a socialist mayor to fight his perceived fears of racism in his city. I'm talking about Mamdani in New York. Well, they fight those perceived fears of racism with more racism. This is about his equity plan for New York. Listen to this. These effects are not applied evenly. So often it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit the hardest. This preliminary racial equity plan is the first step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling that reality. It is a plan that lays out these first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination. It doesn't do any of those things. All it does is tax the so called rich, especially white people in New York. And they say it. I mean they literally call it out. He doesn't understand realities that the rich people will just leave. He is irrational and he is a hypocrite. Mamdani. That we cannot solve this crisis without reckoning with the fact that the neighborhoods hit hardest by rent and the rising nature of it by childcare costs and the suffocating manner of it are the same ones that have been hit for years by institutional neglect and racism. In that way, New York City's affordability crisis and its history of racial inequity are bound together. You think it's cheap to live in Greenwich Village, which I'm sure is filled with white folks, maybe rich, maybe middle class, everyone struggling in New York. By the way, you want to know what the plan entails? The details are actually sketchy and you don't really get any ready for this though. 200 agency level goals. 800 proposed strategies, 600 performance indicators. It sounds like government mumbo jumbo. That only leads to, as I mentioned, taxing the rich. Mamdani. Again, our efforts against the crisis. Now, we know that all of New York City is facing the crisis of costs. We also know that that crisis is not born evenly. From 2000 to 2020, more than 200,000 Black New Yorkers were pushed out of this city because they could not afford living in the most expensive city in the United States of America. You hear this guy again, it's coming after anybody that doesn't look like him. That's not the problem. Democrat policies are the problem of New York. And they've put the thumb on the good people of New York of all colors. I want to bring in now to discuss this. New York City Councilman Frank Marano is with us. Frank, welcome to the program. Grant, it's great to have you back. I think you framed the subject very well. And look, at the end of the day, New Yorkers don't need another plan explaining why life is expensive. We need a plan to make it less expensive for everybody, irrespective of race. And that was noticeably absent from what the mayor came out with. This is not a solution. It's a diagnosis. For we've heard 100 times. We already know New York is unaffordable. You don't need a 50 page report to tell you your rent is too high and your taxes are too high. This is government talking to itself while regular people are talking to their landlord or their bill collectors. All right, Frank, let me play for you. The chief equity officer for mayor. Mom. Donnie. I love that we're in a city where that's a job. Chief Equity. Right. Exactly. Roll it. New Yorkers across all five boroughs answered that call. Their voices, their advocacy and their persistence are what brought us to this moment. The release of the preliminary citywide racial equity plan is a reflection of that collective mandate. It is not just a document. It is a commitment. A commitment to confront institutional and systemic racism within our city and to begin the work of dismantling it. Frank, are there any real solutions in this document other than giving more money to city agencies? No. First of all, that would at least be a specific. And that was noticeably absent from this 50 pages of goblety gook. And by the way, this is a guy that's claiming that we have a deficit somewhere between five and seven billion dollars, and that's why we need to raise taxes. Thankfully, we still have the money to pay the salary of someone with the title of Chief Equity Officer. Look, they're saying you need $159,000 to survive in New York. Great. Now. Now tell me, what's the plan to help someone making $50,000, $59,000, $60,000 that's missing here? Because right now, the only people who can afford New York are hedge fund managers and elected officials. Why? Because the policies that Mayor Mandani and his comrades have pushed have led to higher utility bills, higher taxes, higher property costs, and yes, higher rent. The mayor was absolutely right during his campaign to identify affordability as the key issue. Unfortunately, he hasn't proposed anything that's going to make New York more affordable for middle class families. This plan in air quotes. This plan is a master class in how to hold meetings. About meetings. More data collection, more studies, more reports. Meanwhile, the grocery bill doesn't take, doesn't care about data. If bureaucracy could solve problems, New York would be paradise by now. Yeah, yeah. Let me play one more clip from you, Mayor Mamdani. We are talking about findings that have shown that the wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000. This is not an indictment of any one New Yorker. It is an indictment, however, of policies and politics that have persisted for far too long. Our commitment now is to act upon these findings. He said it's an indictment of policies and politics. Well, it's been Democrats with the policies and politics, Frank. Let me just give you an example. The Office of Racial equity gets 5.6 million this year, and the Commission on Racial equity gets 4.6 million. You've got an office and a commission on racial equity over $10 million. This is the problem, Frank. I give you the last word. Look, everyone wants fairness. Nobody's against fairness, least of all me. But fairness isn't a seminar. It's whether people can afford eggs rent. The Con Ed bill. You don't fix inequality by creating more paperwork. You fix it by lowering costs and improving quality of life. People in my district aren't asking for a racial equity framework. They're asking, can I park my car? Is my street safe? Why is my property tax going Up. There's a huge disconnect between, between what city hall is focused on and what people are actually dealing with. I've seen shorter CVS receipts than this plan. If reports could lower rent, New York would be the cheapest city in America. Unfortunately, it's the opposite. The only thing growing faster than inequality is the size of government. PDFs, apparently. Frank, you know, I grew up in and around New York City. Staten island, where you are, is one of my favorite. You're still a rock star out here. When you came out here for the Blue Lives Matter game, people are still applauding. It was great. And I'll tell you, not everybody's wealthy on Staten island, for crying out loud. That, you know, not everybody's, you know, poor Paulie Castellano. I mean, everybody out there is struggling. Am I right? Quick, real quick. You have some that have worked hard and have done really well, and you have a lot that are struggling to make ends meet. And look, New Yorkers are incredibly fair minded people. But what they really want is, is simple. A city they can afford, a neighborhood that feels safe and a government that spends less time studying problems and more time fixing them. We haven't gotten that in the mayor's first 98 days so far. Here's the deal. We need more people on the council like Frank Morano. Thank you, my friend. Always good to see you. Thank you, Grant. Likewise. Absolutely. All right, folks. You know our immigration system is broken when onlyfans models can get visas. That's next. Welcome back, everyone. You know, when it comes to immigration, I feel like America is constantly getting scammed. Wait till you hear this one. Apparently pornography is now being filed as a quote, extraordinary ability. This is not a joke. There's a little known visa called the O1B visa, okay. And it's being exploited by foreign only fans, models and yes, strippers. Some would call them creators. Whatever. Whatever makes you feel better. Oh, one B falls into the arts category. If you don't know what only fans is, ask your 18 year old son, okay? He'll, he'll tell you. Now, what is the distinction to get a visa under the O1B category as a creator with an extraordinary ability? Well, you have to have a huge social following. The income related to your peers. Only fans models can make a lot of money. And the success through subscriptions is actually a check mark. You can, you can check. So one of the only fans models issued a warning about this. Just because somebody makes a lot of money that they can be welcomed into our country. But to not even recognize the fact that they're doing something very harmful to our day to day society. It's not bringing anything good. It's not growing anyone. It's not helping us as a society in any way. It's just helping the individual. And who knows what they would be doing with those funds when they come over here. All right. She's a former only fans model. Now about 1500-1800 people apply for a visa under this 01B a year. Not all of them are only fans models. But hardly anybody is denied a visa. I mean like literally almost zero are denied. I want to bring in now Dallas Express CEO and editorial board member. This is where I saw this story inside the Dallas Express. Christopher Putnam is with us. Chris, welcome to the program. Yeah, Grant, great to be back. Thanks so much for having me. All right. What did you think when the reporter brings this story? You it says only fans extraordinary ability. The 01B visa. You even heard of an O1B visa? I had not actually. But I mean, nothing shocks me anymore as it relates to our immigration policies. So what is the deal here? Is there any number on this? Is this really being exploited in a big way or a lot of these only fans models? I mean, I would think. Why do you need to be in the United States if you're a Russian only fans model? Can't you just do it from Russia? Yeah, I don't know. What I can tell you is this like it. So it is being abused? Absolutely. And that that extraordinary provision, extraordinary ability of provision that you mentioned is the loophole that they're using to enter the country under this sort of visa type. And it's very different from an H1 visa, which of course, as you know, is already very controversial in that it doesn't just apply to yourself, it applies to family members. It applies to your producer, your publicist, like anybody that you could basically categorize, you know, is helping enable your extraordinary ability is able to migrate to the country under this provision. And it is 50%. 50% of O1 applicants are. Are being admitted to the United States under this particular visa under the arts category of the extraordinary ability provision. All right, let me give you an example of one of the videos submitted for a visa and they got approved. Watch. Would you rather one night with us or a year's supply of this sandwich? Do you want a photo? That video one night with the sandwich or one night with the two girls got 11 million views. Now I did a video on Tiger woods and the scam of his DUI test on the street that got 280,000 views. I probably wouldn't qualify for an O1B visa someplace. 11 million views. They said, come on into the country. Your response, Chris? Oh, you said it yourself. I mean, sex sells, right? I mean, there's no denying that. I mean, the number one use of the Internet is still pornography. So. But that's what's crazy about this policy is that like, those views, the more that you can show that your platform is being engaged with like, somehow, like make sure extraordinary ability, even more extraordinary. And I don't know these girls that I haven't seen this use case. I mean, they sound like they have American exits, so who knows where they're coming from. But no, it's just craziness. You're also not subject to the lottery system or any. You know, there's also not like a limitation on the number of these 01 visas that can be applied for. I, I will say this. Nothing to do with breast size or. Look, strictly subscribers, how much money you're making and the number of views you're getting, it's amazing. Real quick, I saw another story that you guys had posted about Ken Paxton. Our Attorney General is running for Senate, launching an investigation into Medicaid fraud in Texas. Can you give me a brief rundown on this? Yeah, is, you know, like, Attorney General Paxton has been very aggressive on a number of fronts. Of course, you know, suing a lot of the things that were imposed on us by the Biden administration, Obama administration, and, and, you know, it's. It's at least nice to know that there's an elected official in a statewide capacity taking action on what we know is a tremendous amount of Medicare and Medicaid fraud abuse. You know, most states haven't scratched the surface. We haven't either. But, you know, at least there's now an effort to identify that fraud and go after it. Yeah, it's great stuff. Christopher Putnam. The Dallas Express is great. Dallas Express dot com. I see you guys now venturing into the realm of the Breitbarts, the Gateway pundits and conservative media, making that, making that push to be right up there with the super, super, super big guys. And it's so impressive to watch the rise of the Dallas Express. Chris. Thank you, Grant. That's very nice of you say. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Absolutely. And it is true. I mean, this, this organization, Dallas Express, they're doing great, great, great work. I read them every day. All right, folks, there is a possible cure for cancer, but big pharma is trying to keep it quiet. So are the medical journals. We'll get into that. Welcome back, everyone. What if I told you 84% of cancer patients who took a combination of ivermectin and membendazole saw an 84% clinical benefit in their cancers? Some the cancer went away. Some the cancer improved dramatically. Some the cancer stopped. Amazing. Listen to Dr. McCullough talk about it on my podcast. Breaks down to 36% said that their disease stayed the same. 48% said that their cancer actually improved, that there was, you know, reduction in the tumor volume or some other marker of resolution or improvement. And then 15% of patients actually worsened. So the overall, for cancer, that's a really good number. Think about it. 84% saw a benefit that is nothing short of amazing. Ivermectin and membendazole. Go figure. It's the exact same formulation as the parasite cleanse offered up by the wellness company. The wellness company commissioned this study. I want to bring in the CEO of the wellness company now. Peter Gillooly is here. Peter, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me back, Grant. All right, Peter, this is a huge study. I believe that big pharma doesn't want to cure cancer because the money is in the treatment, not the cure. And you were telling me that you're having a real hard time getting this study published. Can you explain? Look, this study grant is nothing short of groundbreaking, right? And you heard Dr. McCullough talk about the outcomes there briefly. But an 84% clinical benefit ratio is tremendous, especially for something that is less than 1%. The cost of chemotherapy. Now, we started this study last August. This has been going for a long time. We've had hundreds, if not thousands of patients by now come to us to use our parasite cleanse product in the treatment of cancer as an adjunct therapy. That's why we launched this study. And we're really, really proud of doing that. But here we are. The sensors are still alive and well, and we submitted our results to peer review. And, yes, we got turned down, not because of anything that we did wrong in the study itself, but because of the topic. All right, which is amazing to me, because, look, we know how Dr. Thorpe, I can only imagine your name as CEO of the wellness company. Dr. McCullough, the other doctors that were on this study, but very highly respected in their communities, except if you go to the mainstream media, of course, but they turned these guys down. All of these names were on this study, correct? Absolutely. Including Dr. Harvey Reich, who is on Our medical board, who is the president Grant of the President's Cancer Panel of the nih. Right. He was appointed by Donald Trump and he was on the study. This is a very, very well regarded group of authors that we put behind this and validated this data. All right, when I looked at the study, it is the exact same formulation of the milligram doses of the ivermectin and the membendazole in that parasite cleanse you talked about. Now, this is an off label use. Explain what that means. But still it can be used, correct? Correct. So this is an off label use, meaning that this drug is not approved for cancer. And by the way, about 90% of prescriptions in the United States are prescribed off label for an indication that is not strictly ordinarily approved by the fda. Patients come to us all the time wanting to use this for a cancer treatment or prophylactic. If that's the case, one of our telemedicine doctors is happy to consult with them and advise with them on protocols to undertake that. You know, it's amazing because Ivermectin, we were all vilified when we said this had a real positive effect on COVID 19. Proven to be true. Now, I've seen now places like Johns Hopkins University, one of the big universities out in California, I can't remember which name was either Stanford or USC or one of those. All now studying ivermectin in many different formulations to help different things. They would have never thought about this if it wasn't for the wellness company and the doctors associated with you. You're absolutely correct. Nobody is doing this right. And let's face it, Grant, cancer is an urgent diagnosis. When you get diagnosed with cancer, that's usually the first time you've ever thought about cancer and you go home and you spend all night googling. And we just don't want people making blind decisions off of what some Yahoo on social media says. And we have the data, so we felt obliged to publish this information. I mean, we had over 200 people participate in the survey. And to get that many positive results in addition to following their oncologist advice, it's just stunning. All right, real quick, I want to run the sound bite even though I'm so short on time. Dr. Thorpe, also on my podcast about this. Roll it. The same can be said, I think, for Membendazole, it's got a very safe safety profile. All right, so these are combination drugs. We cannot market it for cancer. It's an off label use. So it would be illegal for us to promote it and advertise it as a cancer therapy. But he says safer than Tylenol, which is amazing. And Peter, I'm going to tell people how they can get the parasite cleanse and, you know, use it for what you and your doctor talk about. But let me explain that. TWC Health 4 forward slash voice.

Stock market was booming again today. Oil price is coming back down. And the only thing you can say is we got a racist and a bigot in the White House. These people are losers, man. They really are not.
