Swalwell has the worst week of his political career. Maybe the worst week of his life, honestly. Certainly the worst since Feng Fang left him. So here is the situation. The guy was gonna be the next Democrat nominee for governor of California, our biggest state by population, our biggest state by GDP and like the fifth largest economy in the world or something like that, which Gavin Newsom always loves to tell everybody. And sure enough, he is now toast. He is done. Swalwell has been pushed out. Who ordered the code red? Who pushed this through? Who made Swalwell a thing of the past now, at least in the governor's race, because we still have the question of whether he can keep his seat in Congress. I think, by the way, the answer is yes, they will try to allow this because he is politically useful to them in the Congress. And that just shows you how absolutely ruthless these Democrats are, how little they actually care about principle or these women who have come forward or anything else. By the way, to add insult to injury, some billionaire who was letting Eric Swalwell stay in his mansion. It's good to be the next big political thing in California. He has said that he wants a million dollars back and he wants, well, out of his, out of his. I guess he donated a million to the campaign and wants him out of his mansion. So, yeah, this guy has been completely and utterly nailed. They've also got him to give you a sense of how thorough this is. We didn't talk about this on the radio. They have him on a paying an illegal Brazilian live in nanny off the books and under the table with campaign funds, according to a complaint. So they're hitting him with everything. It's not just saying that. He has former staffers who have accused him of sexual assault, although that is certainly in the allegations here. It's not just that he sent photos of his private parts, his genitalia, to people who were certainly not asking for that, which is unsurprising. I'm sure there are a lot of them who really didn't want to see that. No interest in seeing that. But now he's got. Also they're going after. It's almost like they're going to find out that he owes money on a library card or something. They are trying to fully destroy this guy. And I'm just going to say this. I saw a photo of the Brazilian nanny who was staying with him. I wonder, I mean, I think we're all wondering the same thing, really, all these other women. But the live in Brazilian nanny, if you see a photo of her, I'm telling you, you wouldn't want, you wouldn't want her hanging out around Swalwell if she was your wife or your daughter. I can assure you of that so? Yeah. And then there's also this video of Swalwell with a, a sex worker that has been sent around. This, this guy is a total mess. And here's what should be known about this. Everybody knew about this guy being a scumbag and Democrats didn't care at all. In fact, I would argue for all intents and purposes, Democrats, if someone is politically useful to them, they do not care what that person has done, what kind of person they are, it does not matter at all. They don't care at all. But the second you cross over to the other side of that equation, as Swalwell did, he was messing things up for them in the California Democrat primary. He was creating issues. They will, there's. They're ruthless. They are absolutely ruthless. And yeah, that is certainly what we saw here. That is the reality of what it means to be a Democrat. Sponsor here is Birch Gold Group. When it comes to gold, the long term play is the smart play. In fact, when the dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971, gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Fast forward to today. The dollar, the US dollar, has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. But gold, on the other hand, has increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why Central banks are buying gold at record levels, why gold continues to be a smart investment. And it all starts with education.

The Trump administration, the I, I told you this, that the negotiations, I don't know if I said it on radio or here on this podcast on the buck brief. But the negotiations have no chance of succeeding as long as both sides have the same non negotiable, which they currently do. Both teams here, so to speak, both Democrats and Republicans. I'm sorry. Whoops. Thinking about domestic politics, both Americans and Iranians, the Trump administration and the Mullahs say that you have to get rid of Iran, has to get rid of its enriched uranium because that is a critical step in its process of getting to a nuclear weapon. This has been at issue for a long time. The Iranians, I might add, are just saying, absolutely no way, no how, no chance. And that means that Trump and his team are saying, well, we're not going to come to an agreement here. We're not going to have a deal. If this is where things stand and that is where it ends, will end up. And so this is why there's discussion already from Trump today, in fact, saying that we're going to have to go and take it, take the enriched uranium. That doesn't mean deal. That means we're going to have a major military operation, a major military operation that will result in hopefully just the complete and utter elimination of all of Iran's stockpiles and therefore really set them back years. Now, I hate to be the one who has to bring this up, but even in that situation, even in that situation, there is the Iranian going forward, the Iranians are going to try to get back to making this stuff and everything else. The ultimate problem here is that the people who control Iran and its resources are enemies of the United States. That's the real. Everything else is kind of a distraction from that reality, or I should say, is insufficient until we confront that reality. The Iranian regime is the problem. Yeah. In the. In the immediate term, it's nukes and everything else. But you see what I'm saying, Even if we take out the enriched uranium, if the strait opens up and the oil is flowing, the Iranians are going to start playing this game again. They're gonna start trying to get. They're gonna build back their ballistic missiles and everything else. This is why Trump's position on this is, I think this is a once and for all finish this situation. He's not gonna play any games with this. So let's talk about the military side of this equation and what that will look like and what the strait of horror moves and how I see this blend. But I just want to be clear. There is no future, there is no world in which the Iranians let us take their enriched uranium. We'd have to go in there militarily with force, kill a lot of people, which is, you know what we would do? Kill a lot of Iranians in the military and take the stuff. There is, I do not see a world in which they say, you know what? We're finally going to give this stuff up. Sponsor here Is pure talk paying 70, 80, $90 a month to Big Wireless for unlimited data? Is insane. Especially when PureTalk, my wireless company, is going to give you unlimited high speed Data for just 34.99amonth. Unlimited high speed data at PureTalk used to start at 55 bucks a month. But because PureTalk is constantly pushing to give you more for less, you can now get unlimited high speed Data for just $34.99 a month. Go to PureTalk.com buck to claim unlimited high speed data for just $34.99. Again, that's PureTalk.com buck to switch to my wireless company, America's Wireless Company, PureTalk. PureTalk.com buck. Save yourself a bunch of money. Switch to Pure Talk today. Ok, so here's where we are. US has imposed a naval blockade. Trump is demanding the end of the Iranian nuclear program. The peace talks have failed. So are we able to enforce this blockade militarily as part one and then part two? Do we have the political will to continue on with this? Does the Trump administration. You got oil surging past $100 a barrel. The ceasefire set to expire in nine days. I'm calling this right now. The ceasefire is going to expire and we are going to extend the talks. Just mark down that I said this because we don't really want to keep bombing them and we'd rather talk and they're going to give us just enough excuse, if you want to call it that, on our side, to continue on the talks without hitting them harder. So that's what I see happening. But this is, this is going to be a real, this is the ultimate game of chicken, you know, chicken with two cars on the road. They're driving each other full speed. It's my impression of cars. Sorry for those listening on podcast. And, and the cars are going and they're getting closer and then finally someone has to pull off the road or they're also going to collide. It's essentially who blinks first, if you will. And in this one, I think the Iranians believe because of the pressure on Trump, with the midterms looming, we will blink first. There are Republicans, Trump, America, we will blink first, which means conceding to endless fruitless negotiations instead of militarily decisive action. That's what Iran wants. They want their oil to flow and they want through Hormuz and other ways, and they want to be able to build back up and then go into all kinds of talks with us, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, with none of their actual goals for Iran, pertaining to the nuclear program, pertaining to ballistic missiles, any of that changing that is what they want. That's their desired end state now, other than like death to America and destroying Israel and the whole thing. Right, they want that too, but that's unrealistic right now for them, thankfully. What do we want? We want to finish off those of you who remember Mortal Kombat. Finish him. We're trying to finish him. When it comes to their nuclear program, like really end this thing. And that means taking the enriched uranium and destroying the rest of whatever is left of their nuclear facilities, stuff buried underground. And I think that's going to require not just the sustained aerial campaign that we've had being kick started once again, but also it would require a major US military deployment of troops. Now, I don't mean 100,000 for years. I mean whatever at these sites would be required to secure the site, destroy the site, take the enriched uranium out, fly out. This is something that it seems Trump is certainly considering and I think it's going to come to that. The wild card as I see it here is do the Iranians, if we continue with this blockade, and Trump doesn't flinch, doesn't blink because of the pressure here at home, gas prices going up, going up, going up, do the Iranians decide, you know what, screw it, if I can't have the straight, no one can. And then they just, they, all they have to do is send a couple of these low tech, low cost, high speed boats just full of dum dum explosives at a, at a oil tanker that's actually slowly making its way through the strait. Remember the Strait of Hormuz is, is a few dozen miles at various points. It is not a big waterway. And so I mean not a, not a wide waterway at some of the choke points. And so they just decide, you know what, we're going to go for it. And they blow up an oil tanker and just create a giant ecological mess there. Now that would be in a sense cutting off their nose to spite their face, but it would spite our face too. That would hurt everybody, would hurt them more in the short term, but we're playing chicken with a bunch of craziest. I'm not sure that's going to work out in our favor. But Trump, I got to tell you, I would not want to be on the other side of a, of a poker contest of this scale. World peace at stake in a sense or not. World peace, that was, that was, I was being a little rhetorical flourish there. Regional peace in the Middle east at stake. I wouldn't want to be the other side of the poker table from Trump. They, they can't, they can't call on the usual, what about international law and the UN and the international community and European capitals and blah, blah. Like, none of that stuff on Trump works at all. He doesn't care. He knows who these bad guys are in Iran and he's had enough. I really just think that he lost patience with them, with the whole thing, and that has been a major driver of this for him. So we'll see. But mark down what I'm saying, because I want to go back. I mean, look, I hope just Trump kicks their asses, finishes off the program, and we end this thing and we can start thinking about the home front asap. That's what I hope happens. But I've told you what I think is gonna happen here. All right, here's a question. How many brokers does it take to insure your business? If you're like most business owners, the answer is too many.
