We're going to take a closer look at the vice president of the United States stepping up to the lectern yesterday while Caroline Levitt continues to be on maternity leave. So the vice president, while he's a pretty good guy to answer some questions as he talks about that memorandum of understanding, what the critics are getting wrong in their emotionally incontinent hysteria and so much more.

Yesterday was her last day. She's out. Remember, Tulsi Gabbard has to leave because she has to attend to her husband's cancer, which of course will dominate her time going forward. Our prayers continue to be with them as they go through this fight. Man, I have utter contempt, as you would for cancer. Cancer is so destructive. How many of us have either lost someone or have somebody really going through a fight with it? It's just the toughest thing. And God bless her as she and her husband deal with this, this conflict, this, this latest fight for them. Now, having said that, she's leaving, but not without one more deliverable. Last night, Tulsi Gabbard revealed a bunch of classified information involving Covid Anthony Fauci. The COVID up. And I'm going to get into the details of this Javier Becerra, the current frontrunner for governor in California, his role in covering up Anthony Fauci's lies. Let's first take a look at the outgoing Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Watch.

Tulsi Gabbard
Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Work, which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. Now, in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I'm releasing never before seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions and the virus lab leak origins and his role in directing US Funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. Now, these documents expose Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID 19 and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when under oath, he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral. We also received testimony from multiple intelligence community whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the intelligence community's manipulation of intelligence on the virus's origins. Once again revealing a clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics and burying the truth. Dr. Fauci's close relationships with the intelligence community enabled him to assume three key roles that shield him from scrutiny. First, Dr. Fauci funded dangerous gain of function coronavirus research linked to Big Pharma and their pursuit of universal vaccines worth trillions of dollars. Second, Dr. Fauci was the behind the scenes advisor who alongside his hand picked so called experts pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars. All of this in a deliberate to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci's own actions. Third, Dr. Fauci became the nation's pandemic pundit and he publicly pushed lies, disinformation and censorship using every platform available.

Vince
Okay, thank you. Perfect.
- [06:36]
Tulsi Gabbard
Now, according to hundreds of reviewed emails.
- [06:38]
Vince
Let's go from here.
- [06:39]
Tulsi Gabbard
In this release, the intelligence community almost always.
- [06:42]
Vince
Thank you very much. Now the video does continue. Lots of good information here. I'll let you watch that. You can check that out on Tulsi Gabbard's ex account. But those key details, I want to dwell on a couple of them and then I want to get to Javier Becerra in a moment. But here's the big one. We know of course that Anthony Foushee was using our money in order to fund gain of research and lying about it. That's not a brand new piece of information. These declassified documents are new. And good journalists, good American citizens are going through all of them this morning. Again, this is all breaking news. This all broke overnight as Tulsi Gabbard released that video as her final act as Director of National Intelligence in that massive pile of now declassified documents related to Foushee's behavior overnight last night. But you heard her say something. I think that I, that that caught me as very interesting and very troubling, which is that the role that Anthony Foushee was playing, the reason he was doing this, they were funding all of this dangerous so called gain of function research because he was trying to assist in generating a do it all vaccine for the pharmaceutical industry that would be worth trillions of dollars. This is why they're using this money all over the place. And then when that virus escapes that lab, he was able to use it as a pretext anyway to generate untold sums of money. For the pharmaceutical industries in the form of rushed vaccines in the wake of that virus's release. You see how this worked out. So, heads I win, tails you lose. That's the way Anthony Fauci conducted his affairs. And then he tried to cover up the entire game. And he had an assist from Javier Becerra, the head of Health and Human Services, the guy who Joe Biden thinks is called Javier Bakaria. Javier Becerra right now is the front runner to be governor of California, running against the great Steve Hilton as we speak towards that general election in November. Becerra is very heavily implicated in these documents. And again, I haven't been able to go through all of them yet, and there's a lot of great journalists who are digging through them as we speak. But let me just give you a quick assessment. That was done overnight by a guy called Larry Sanger. Now, you'll remember Larry Sanger was the fellow who was involved in founding Wikipedia, who believes that Wikipedia is now a force for evil and has said so many, many times. So he's been a very trustworthy voice on, on, on that subject especially. But he ran Tulsi Gabbard's documents, now declassified documents, through Claude overnight, the AI platform and was able to render this judgment. Here's what he's got, and it implies it implicates Javier Becerra immediately. He said the IC Inspector General, the intelligence community Inspector General filed a classified whistleblower complaint alleging that Fauci lied when he testified before Congress that Fauci's testimony was untrue and the Director of National Intelligence Office effectively buried it. DNI General Counsel Chris Fonzon emailed DNI Avril Haines, this is all under Biden on August of August 19th of 2021, describing a whistleblower complaint alleging that classified intelligence reporting contradicted Foushee sworn testimony to Congress that NIH never funded gain of research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Rather than refer it to the HHS Inspector General for independent investigation. Because remember, NIH and Fauci, they fall under hhs. So the IG at HHS should be handling this rather than refer it to that person for independent investigation. Fonzon, working in the Biden White House, recommended referring it to HHS Secretary Becerra, Foushee's own boss, noting that Becerra had told Haynes, quote, it was something they've considered and that Fauci had a, quote, point he's repeated. The draft letter was revised to route the complaint to Becerra. Instead of the hhsig, this is a previously classified paper trail showing that Biden era DNI's office treated a formal whistleblower complaint about potential perjury as essentially a bureaucratic matter to be absorbed by the accused's own department. So this, this revelation, again released overnight, directly implicates Javier Becerra in a cover up of Anthony Fauci's lies to the American people about COVID If this campaign in California is in any way a reflection of reality, Becerra should have to wear this as one of his many sins against the American people. Remember, Becerra was a guy who was in charge of HHS and he was importing children by the tens of thousands and then losing them into the United States of America. He was a part of a horrific human trafficking operation. All of this should prevent him from becoming the next governor of California if they had a meritocratic system. Now, of course, as you know, they have a very fraud prone system in California. We've seen straight up that there are people who are being paid to vote for Democrats living on skid row. On camera but this detail is a very important one and it's just the beginning of the revelations that are coming out of these previously classified documents. So as we start today on the program, I want to issue another sign of gratitude. Thank you to Tulsi Gabbard for doing this work. Thank you for declassifying this. Thank you for getting the truth out to the American people. And at this point, I want the Justice Department to take it from here. We need prosecutions now. I will remind, and we've had some, by the way. We've had some. You're watching as Anthony Fauci's top lieutenant is being prosecuted. People are being prosecuted. No question. Foushee himself at the moment is, well, he's pardoned. Remember, Biden gave him a blanket pardon on the way out the door. But that I believe is a matter of utter dispute because it was the auto pen that pardoned Anthony Fauci. And I am still waiting for somebody to take this case before the court and to test whether or not a robot can issue a pardon, because I'm pretty sure that's not what the founders had in mind. So let's put it to the test. That's the, that's the update there. By the way, speaking of skid row, I, I, I want to share with you something that just transpired overnight on that story as well. The New York Post reports, the California Post, they've got, they've got both now that FBI agents yesterday descended on skid row in Los Angeles in a massive voter fraud probe after all these, quote, stunning claims of election bribery. The claims were made by the people, the homeless people living on skid row. So that's a huge story, as Dan Bongino might say. Added to the nothing is happening file. Here's FBI agents descended on skid row in massive voter fraud probe after stunning claims of election bribery. The FBI now investigating voter fraud in Los Angeles. Federal agents descended on the streets of skid row in downtown L. A on Thursday following allegations that the homeless had been paid to vote in the June 2 primary. Twenty agents swooped in on the notoriously blighted area after homeless people staying there claimed that they'd been bribed with cash to sign multiple registration forms, forge signatures, and fill out voter information for the mayoral and gubernatorial primaries. The California Post looked on as plainclothes agents questioned skid row residents, asking them if they were paid to vote or aware of others who were approached with the offer. The DOJ would only confirm that agents were investigating a criminal matter as officials conducted up to 50 interviews. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, that's right. Freddie's got it right in our chat. C54. Freddie. C54. Go ahead and flag it in the chat. We've got the flag icons here. You can flag it. You're perfectly welcome to flag it. Flag it. Because you've got 50 interviews conducted yesterday by FBI agents talking to all these people who were taking $1, $2 cigarettes. They were taking goodies from Democrats in exchange for their votes. Thank you. Look at all these flags appearing in the chat. People are flagging it. I appreciate that. That's a great. This is a great thing to do. I love the flags. I don't call for the flags enough. I should call for the flags more. I think the flags are great. We have all sorts of things to flag. This is one of them. This is a sign of the kind of progress that we're looking for. You know, we're constantly. In the past, you and I have been very bugged by the inactivity of. Of our government in the face of all of this corruption. It's nice to see so much activity. 50 interviews with all these homeless people. They're dodging needles and all sorts of weird smells just to get to this story. I'll take it. That's good news. So thank you for that. And one more for you on election integrity before we get to JD Vance's turn at the lectern yesterday talking about Iran, Bill Pulte has arrived. Remember, I told you Tulsi Gabber is out as the Director of National Intelligence. The acting director, Bill Pulte, who Congress tried to stop from getting this job, he arrived a day early yesterday. This is great news as well. Look at this. What, what a wonderful Friday. A Friday news extravaganza. We're having so much fun. Here is Bill Pulte. According to cnn, just arrived. President Donald Trump's pick for acting Director of National Intelligence has showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday. He asked for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them. Two sources familiar with the matter told cnn. You love to see it. Bill Pulte on the job already taking an inventory of the deep state and going, who do we need to fire here? And remember, Tulsi Gabbard has been doing this work. Tulsi Gabbard, when she arrived in office, said her job is to shrink that intel community by 40%. Bill Palty continuing that effort here. He showed up and he said, give me a list. I want to see all of this. And we've also got, of course, Bill Palty, remember, job two for him, but on an equal footing, is releasing everything he can on the state of our elections. President Trump has given him that assignment. He told the Wall Street Journal that I need him to expose all of this. And they asked him, what do you want him to show? And he said, everything. Show us everything. So Bill Palty continuing that work in the DNI office right now. This is driving Republicans absolutely crazy, establishment Republicans in the Senate, and I couldn't love it more. So thank you to Bill Palti for being there. Thank you for Tulsi Gabbard for doing the job. Appreciate all you guys. Lots of winning, and I'm not tired of it. I'm not tired of it at all. Speaking of winning, we got the Vice President of the United States stepping up to the lectern yesterday. Cool, calm and collected. Just explaining very carefully, here's what we're doing with Iran and here's why you shouldn't be freaking out. I've got all the details on that story and so much more coming up on this edition.

Thank you to Patriot Mobile. Man, oh man, when Vince was talking about skid row and weird smells, I thought he was talking about the Obama library opening. Thank you, Raven. Raven of Ragnar. Yeah, well, we've got to get to that. This, this is my problem today. I've got way too much to discuss with you. Way too much. But that's okay. We'll go the distance today. We'll see what we can't fit in. Let me get to J.D. vance, though. I think it's worthwhile to get to the Vice President of the United States and his answers to the lunacy. Maybe I should start with the lunacy, cuz there was a lot of lunacy this week already, all because President Trump is trying to pursue peace in the Middle East. Now you would think that the Republican senators who only have their jobs because of Trump voters would, you know, give the President a little grace here, give him a little room to work and actually get this thing done. But instead, what we're getting is a lot of whining. We got establishment Republican senators who are bitching and moaning and undermining the President's attempts to bring peace to the Middle east immediately. Here's a reporter. This is a reporter from NBC, I believe. Yeah, Brendan Leach. And she writes that Bill Cassidy reacted this way. Quote, Iran is left stronger, we are left weaker. What are you talking about we killed all of their leaders. Their nuclear program is buried deep underground. They don't even have access to it. Their entire economy is in a shambles. Their military, their navy's at the bottom of the sea. The Air Force is gone. Their ballistic missile capacity is dwindling to practically nothing. Their industrial capacity is definitely dwindled to nothing to build those ballistic missiles. What are you talking about? That they've been left stronger. Did you hit your head? Bitter Bill? Moron. John Cornyn saying everything I've heard about it causes me concern. John Cornyn is upset that he got fired. John Cornyn's self interested. He doesn't care at all about this. He just cares about trying to attack the President because he's upset that the president and his supporters got rid of him. Ted Cruz, who wants to run for President in 2028, let's be clear about what he's doing is attacking the President. He says, quote, giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea. Yeah, it would be. That's not what he's doing. He's not giving billions to theocratic lunatics. He's telling them if they comply with the President's demands, then the sanctions relief will come. Ted Cruz, why lie? Joni Ernst, who's also leaving, says, quote, there are many of us that really just want to understand what the administration is thinking. Concern, trolling President Trump here. And then Lindsey Graham, who says some of the criticism of the MOU is valid. Lindsey Graham, who's gone back and forth this week. Good old slippery Lindsey Graham going back and forth this week on whether he thinks the MoU is a good idea, depending on the audience he's speaking to. So we got a lot of snakes. Unfortunately, Don Jr. Ripped Ted Cruz specifically yesterday. Don Jr. Said the problem with Ted Cruz's quotes are, are that he's, quote, lying through his teeth about the deal. We're not giving them a cent. And he knows that using fake news about the peace deal to undermine President Trump is the opposite of maga. Yeah, settle down, settle down. It's getting a little too crazy. I mean, if you start sounding like Chuck Schumer, you've got a problem. Chuck Schumer yesterday posted. Trump is claiming there's no $300 billion payment to Iran by the United States. These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding. Chuck Schumer says Chuck Schumer is lying. He knows he's lying. And this graphic that he includes in his post A little snippet of the MOU straight up proves he's lying in it. It doesn't say the United States of America is giving any money to Iran. It says that the United States will be working in order to manage the foreign investment that could come to Iran in the future. It says all required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for these transactions would be granted by the United States of America. So this says the exact opposite of what Chuck Schumer claims it says. This is Chuck Schumer saying, oh, the American. The American people are going to be giving money to Iran. Not true. Foreigners, if they want to invest in Iran, will only be able to do it with President Trump's permission if Iran meets the terms of our deal. Which makes Chuck Schumer and every other Republican is repeating Chuck Schumer's talking points engaged in this. And now it's time for the left fake scandal of the week. Extra, extra. And Schumer knows he's lying. He knows he's lying, and he does it anyway. Following the, in the, in the evil tradition of Harry Reid. Harry Reid always did that, too. Here's Chuck Schumer carrying it on. Okay, so now let's get to J.D. vance and what he's saying. J.D. vance stepped up to the lectern yesterday and goes, guys, we're already deriving immense benefits from this. Watch cut to. As J.D. vance immediately says, the oil is flowing at, at unseen levels. Watch this.
- [25:17]
J.D. Vance
All right, good morning, everybody. Nothing to talk about. Slow news day here in Washington D.C. so let me just say a couple of things off the bat. First of all, I think the President's peace plan in Iran is already bearing real fruits for the American people. Last night, 12.5 million barrels of oil went through the Strait of Hormuz. That is a high since the beginning of the conflict. Oil prices are down nearly at their level from the pre war conflict. Gas prices dropped below $4 a gallon today for the first time since the conflict. And importantly, they're going to keep falling further given how low price low oil prices are. On the military side, the Iranians for the second night in a row did not shoot at any ships in the Strait of Hormuz. So so far, they are honoring their end of the commitment. And on the blockade, CENTCOM has allowed north of a dozen ships to go through our naval blockade. And so we're also honoring our end of the early part of the agreement.
- [26:10]
Vince
All right, so we're getting the oil flowing, which is essential. This is not a small detail. It's one of the single most important details to all of this. If the global energy supply is flowing, that leads to human flourishing, we need cheap, abundant energy, not just in the United States, but globally. It has second order effects on the United States. If energy prices are high everywhere, we've already seen it, we've seen the price at the pump. And we'll talk to Daniel Turner coming up in a few minutes about this very subject. But energy is an essential piece of this, not a small one. Here's another. J.D. vance explains very carefully and slowly enough that the morons can understand it, that this will all be a win win for the United States. No matter how this breaks, the President has figured out a way to win in all of this. Cut for Watch this.
- [27:00]
J.D. Vance
You really have a win, win situation for the United States of America. If the Iranians don't change their behavior, their military and their nuclear program is still destroyed. If they do change their behavior, then they are going to have a transformative relationship with the Middle east and the Middle east will have a transformative relationship with the people of Iran. That's a win for the American people and for the President of the United States. Regardless of which option the Iranians ultimately choose, we obviously want them to choose the right option.
- [27:30]
Vince
Yep, take your pick. We've already destroyed everything you care about. So, you know, one way or the other, we're winning here. We've got all the leverage. And also we don't trust you. I want to repeat something here because I feel like it needs to be repeated. The good thing is, like, this audience actually is wonderful, wonderful. But occasionally I got a note or an email and people are like, vince, I think you're getting this wrong. The President screwed this up. I can't believe he signed on to this deal. First of all, keep cool, my babies. Settle down. This is not a final deal. This is an opening salvation to negotiate a deal. But we're not there yet. And here's J.D. vance saying the administration doesn't trust Iran. You don't trust Iran. I don't trust Iran. Trump doesn't trust Iran. Watch this cut. Five
- [28:20]
Neil Monroe
words.
- [28:20]
J.D. Vance
We trust action and we trust conduct. And so we're going to reward conduct. And we're not going to reward any words, whether they're written on a sheet of paper or not. There's a lot of discussion. The MoU, the gentleman's agreements, the, the final deal words don't matter, ladies and gentlemen. We're about verification. And so what we're going to do is to say if they do the things that they have promised to do. They have promised not to enrich. They have promised that they would allow inspectors in to destroy that highly enriched stockpile. And then, of course, it's not usable anymore. You take it somewhere else. They promised a number of things, and that's why the deal contemplates a number of benefits if they do those things, but it doesn't do anything if they don't actually meet those promises. Go ahead.
- [29:03]
Vince
Yeah. All right, so J.D. vance, by the way, excellent spokesman. I was advocating for this a long time ago, including when Caroline Levitt was at the lectern doing a great job every day. I was like, rotate the vice president in every so often. The guy's a great spokesman for the administration. And he seems busy. Did he sound a little hoarse there? He sounded like his voice is going a little bit. I have a feeling that he's been. He's been up at all hours of the night dealing with all of this, but he's doing it very capably. So congratulations to the vice President as they take this to the next step. Nothing's a done deal. I don't know. Anybody who talks like that is an idiot. This is not a done deal. This is. This is a work in progress, and they're angling for peace. And the funny thing is, I love the people attacking J.D. vance right now. Like, this is Vance's thing. This is Vance's thing. Vance did this. And they're trying to basically say that the. That this memorandum sucks and that. But they don't want to blame Trump because they, like, you know, they don't want to catch Flack for blaming Trump. So then they blame JD because they're trying to stick him with it, because they're trying to prejudice your view towards 2028. Like, what is with all this manipulation nonsense? It's, like, ridiculous. Just say what's on your mind. I always do. I feel very good about it. I sleep really well at night because I just. They just speak my mind. But J.D. vance, he instantly was like, yeah, sure, whatever. You can call it my deal. I don't care. I mean, I am. I'm definitely leading the negotiations. Doesn't bother me at all. And the irony of all of this is, like, the more they attack JD Vance for trying to negotiate peace, the more they're just making the broad American public like J.D. vance. You understand this, right? Like, because the American public does want peace. They don't want a war in Iran, and they do want domestic energy prices to come down. Have you seen polling on this Subject. It is very clear. And Somehow President Trump, J.D. vance, Marco Rubio, Steve Wykoff, Jared Kushner, this whole team is achieving what so many, including on any side of this issue, have thought to be impossible for years. This idea that we can navigate towards a peace lead to more human flourishing, establish fresh, wonderful, productive relationships between Israel and all these other countries in the Middle East. Somehow, President Trump continues to juggle these chainsaws and catch the handles. And I should tell you, not every Republican senator is treating President Trump and Vice President advance like crap right now. There are some bright spots, thankfully. Here's Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno saying, actually, I trust President Trump to handle this. Cut seven, Watch.
- [31:27]
Bernie Moreno
But at the end of the day, I trust President Trump. After 10 years in a political scene, I've seen his decision making. He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows how tough this is. I give him the grace and the latitude to know that he always is going to keep the interests of America first. He's not interested in an endless war, and he wants to drive down gas prices for Americans to give him the relief that they need.
- [31:50]
Vince
How hard is that? How hard is that? Not hard at all. Just be like, actually, you know what? I'm in this job because of Trump voters. I'm going to trust the judgment of Trump voters here. They picked President Trump to run this operation, and I'm going to trust the president. How hard is that to do? Exactly? Not hard. Super simple. Super simple. But, you know, you got people like Ted Cruz who are like, no, I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to run for president. I'm gonna. I'm gonna try and undermine the president's agenda right now as a basis to run for president in 2028. Like, dude, I thought you were smart. That's a very stupid play. Ted Cruz is a pretty bright guy, actually. It's such a stupid play. Don't do that. Don't do that. Like, root for success here. All right, more on the impact on American energy, global energy, and how this is actually hurting China. This is. As always, I told you throughout this entire Iran thing that China has had their energy utterly imperiled by all of this, which I find completely fascinating. My next guest is gonna give us some more details on that subject. But first, let me thank two of our fine sponsors who make this show possible. First and foremost, ethos. I want to tell you about ethos. You know, being an adult means realizing how many things you are responsible for that nobody prepares you for. Life insurance is one of those things. It's so easy to put off, but when you actually think about this, it matters so much. How many times have you heard stories of families scrambling after an unexpected loss? Perhaps you've experienced it yourself, trying to figure out how to handle everything while grieving. This is why having coverage matters.

It really does. You know, it's funny how sleep changes as you get older. When you're young, let's say your early 20s, you can stay up late, get four or five hours of sleep, grab a coffee, and then power through the next day. But then somewhere in your maybe 30s is you're a little bit older, sleep stops being optional and then you feel it. When it's off. You get the brain fog. Shorter patience, sluggish workouts. You're slapping Josh around for not getting to the clip right away. For me, falling asleep was never the issue. It was staying asleep. And that's why I started using Beam's Dream Powder.

And who better to talk with than the guy who loves this country and knows all about it, Daniel Turner. He's the founder and executive director of Power of the Future, and he joins us now. Daniel, so good to see you as always, sir.
- [35:57]
Daniel Turner
Vince, thanks for having me on. Happy Friday to you.
- [36:00]
Vince
It's same to you. Let's, let's talk about what the President has pulled off this week. First and foremost, if they hadn't reached a deal to get the oil flowing, what was going to happen? I'm hearing that global energy catastrophe could have been just weeks away if the President hadn't scored this MOU this week.
- [36:24]
Daniel Turner
I mean, all of the energy industry nationwide is as one global commodity and one global market. So ultimately, what happens in the world does affect America writ large. No doubt about it. We would not have had an energy supply problem, but we could have seen prices go up considerably. The reason why we don't have a supply problem is because we produce enough energy in North America. You got to include the Canadians in Mexico and some Caribbean nations in that. So, so America would have been fine. But as the rest of the world started running out of oil and gas. Yeah, we would have felt that price crunch. If you were the UK or, or other European nations who you think would have stepped up a little more in this process. Right. Those nations should have been absolutely in panic mode. The Japanese, the South Koreans, et cetera. And, and one nation that was in panic mode was China. China cut 4 million barrel a day consumption out of their overall oil consumption. They went from around 20 million barrels a day to 16. That means people were suffering. The Chinese, of course, will never say that the pro China media, and the media loves communist China. They never would have dove in deep into how do you cut such a huge percentage of your, of your oil consumption without punishing people? They just ignore it. But China was really, really tightening the belt to stay afloat. And so, yeah, the world was headed towards an energy disaster. This had not been resolved pretty quickly.
- [37:55]
Vince
I mean, without energy, you can't have heating, you can't have air conditioning, you can't have clean water, you can't have working water pumps. I mean, there's A, there's an immense human cost to a lack of energy. And so you believe that. That there's a lot of suffering going on in China right now because they've lost access to a bunch of this.
- [38:17]
Daniel Turner
Absolutely. You can't cut that percentage of your oil consumption without having it be felt by people. I don't know what sectors they have shut down. Of course the Chinese will lie and tell you everything is fine, but that's a ridiculous amount of energy. If America had to cut proportionally the same amount of oil, you would have seen gas lines. Right. You would have gone back to that Carter era rationing of license plates on one day, the other license plates on the other day. Right. Whole sectors of industry would have been shut down. And, you know, we can wish that the world ran on. If it ran on, on wind or solar, we can wish that it ran on love. Right. That was kind of Obama's speech yesterday at his library. We wish the world was something, but reality is the world runs on oil and gas and coal, and it makes millions of products that we need to stay afloat. And it's what powers industry. And so I would love to know what China was doing to have their economy not collapse. But sadly, we'll never know the answer to that question.
- [39:17]
Vince
Okay, so then we start to see the oil flowing as I understand it, and this is. A senior administration official conveyed this to me, that yes, the military strikes on Iran did get them to the negotiating table, but nothing got to the got them to the table like the fact that President Trump was able to move ships through the strait without their permission. When the president revealed that in the Oval Office last week and said, hey, I'm just revealing this to. To Iran for the first time. We've been moving a lot of ships without your knowledge. They went dark. They turned off any of their communications devices. We got them through the strait. We're moving a lot of this product. It was at that moment that Iran realized, oh, crap, we don't actually have leverage over the United States and they can move this oil whether we like it or. That seemed like a big deal. Daniel.
- [40:03]
Dan Bongino
That was.
- [40:04]
Daniel Turner
And that was absolutely essential. And I think that those who understand oil markets had a feeling something like this was happening because oil was steady around 90, $95 a barrel. And, you know, the speculators out there, we're going to hit $200 a barrel by the end of the summer. None of that was ever happening. And the only way that was not happening is that oil and gas was circulating. We didn't know how, we didn't know which. But those in the know those countries, those tankers knew exactly what was happening. And it's why oil went from 90 a barrel to 76, I think is where it is now, 77, pretty precipitously because it gave that sort of market calm that we were looking for. But there was a lot of evidence. It's why Adam Smith kind of was fascinated by markets and called it these invisible hands.
- [40:51]
J.D. Vance
Right.
- [40:51]
Daniel Turner
Things are happening that even humans can't control. And oil markets knew there was oil reaching its destination without it being public knowledge. It's kind of fascinating, actually.
- [41:02]
Vince
That's super fascinating. And I want to get more to gas prices here in a moment, but let me first talk about, I think one of the most fascinating components of the MoU, which is that the United States is going to allow Iran, at least for a temporary basis, to sell its oil on the legitimate international market. We are granting waivers to them to do that. And as I was going through the MoU yesterday, Daniel, my assessment was this is fascinating for a bunch of reasons, but one of them is that it means that China won't be the only buyer of Iranian oil anymore. China was getting 90% of Iran's oil before. Now Iran is going to be allowed to sell on the international market, which means it'll be a much more competitive bidding process. China's share of Iranian oil is going to drop, I think, pretty dramatically here. This will come at China's expense. What do you make of this component of the mou?
- [41:52]
Daniel Turner
Yeah, this is probably the most important part of it because it's good for global markets.
- [41:57]
Dan Bongino
Absolutely.
- [41:58]
Daniel Turner
America's going to control this global oil and gas market that's vital for our national economy, our national security. But the most important part of this, which is so tacit, the word China isn't even spoken, is that how many illegitimate regimes like China, and I call them that deliberately, Right. We have to never forget they are communists, even though they're a big economy, and try to act legitimate on the world stage. They are our number one enemy and our number one threat. But how many illegitimate regions, countries, warlords were profiting from? Originally, Venezuela, and now that's off the table and still Iranian oil, that was just outside of oil and gas markets, black market stuff. So think of your Somali pirates, right? They have to fill up their boats. Where were they getting oil and gas from? Right. Think of North Korea.
- [42:48]
J.D. Vance
Right.
- [42:48]
Daniel Turner
Where are they getting oil? They don't produce it. Right. They're certainly not buying it from South Korea. So China was the mediary of not just their own oil needs and they have no domestic oil supply. It's China's biggest vulnerability, economic vulnerability, is that they do not have a domestic supply of oil. Everything they have to import. So they were importing it from Iran and then they were upselling it to other illegitimate regions, nations to other warlords, to. And all for the purpose of fomenting discord and tension. Where were the Houthi rebels, right, remember that were attacking boats in, in all through the Red Sea, all through the, the Persian Gulf. Where were they getting their oil and gas from? They were getting it through these illegitimate channels.
- [43:32]
Vince
Okay, so now that Iran can sell on the legal market, at least for now, the, the thing that we are hearing from the White House is this allows the United States to, to have intimate knowledge of the way that they're selling this oil. Can you explain kind of the surveillance capability that we derive out of this? What does that, what does that mean?
- [43:53]
Daniel Turner
Yeah, well, you know, we, we have pretty good tabs on every single oil and gas production location, distribution mechanism. Because it really is, it's, it's, it's our industry. Yeah. And I say that with all the patriotism in my blood. Right. This is our industry. It's why oil is priced at US dollars and lots of people participate in it. But America kind of knows at its heart and soul we built the Middle east oil industry, we built the North Sea oil industry, we built Venezuela's oil industry back in the day. We welcomed the world to participate because it's good for the world. But the oil and gas industry is thoroughly American. And so you have this one regime in Iran that we didn't know. We knew originally, before the revolution, how much they were producing, where their capabilities were or what their refining capacity was, et cetera. To have tabs on that now is helping, will help eventually global oil and gas prices.
- [44:51]
Bernie Moreno
Right.
- [44:51]
Daniel Turner
If the world is producing 96 million barrels of oil a day and Iran is kind of like this little asterisk, well, now that asterisk is going to increase. An increasing of world supply will bring down world prices. And that's good for us. Yeah, it's knowing where it's being shipped, it's who's buying it. Knowing who your customers are are really important. Right. So, so now we have better tabs of everyone who is participating in this. And that helps. Not just forecasting and economic plays, but national security plays as well.
- [45:24]
Vince
Yeah. And it prevents them from selling to sanctioned regimes, is that right?
- [45:27]
Daniel Turner
Absolutely. And we have a lot of Sanctioned regimes. In sub Saharan Africa, we have a lot of sanctioned regimes. Regimes. In the region itself, again, we have a lot of problematic actors, most of them funded by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi rebels. I mentioned, we talked about Somali pirates. You know, there are thousands of these, you know, organizations. Even if we would look at South America, like trend Aragua, right, they have a pretty big infrastructure, they need oil and gas supplies. And when you have subversive regimes like the former Hugo Chavez Maduro regime in Venezuela or Iran providing them with material, they're just fomenting tensions that then America has to fix down the road.
- [46:10]
Vince
Okay, let's talk about finally and most importantly, I think to the average American energy consumer, what does this do in terms of our prices and how quickly should we see the fall? Because I've often described the economic phenomenon here, you know, rocket and feather, right? When, when oil, when a barrel of oil goes up in price, the gas prices instantly go up with, in anticipation. That's going to be the case when they start to come down. We see a slower decline on gas prices. But the gas prices do go down. They're going down as we speak. Daniel, what do you, what do you envision over the next few weeks?
- [46:40]
Daniel Turner
And you have to understand that this is not market manipulation. This is not greed. If Vince Colonnade's built, buys a gas station, right, Vince Colonnade's gas station, and he puts one of these hundred thousand gallon tankers underground, the very first time he fills it, he is buying money that he's buying it with money he doesn't have. So every time a customer comes and pays and buys gas, he is back paying for what he already purchased. Gas stations are four and five cycles into the future, right? They're not buying today's gas today, they're buying gas for early August today. And they are constantly in a little bit of leverage debt. So of course it's going to take a while for that gas station because here he's already, he's already bought gas probably through mid August, right? So yeah, he can't lower his prices just yet.
- [47:29]
Vince
He's selling his expensive gas.
- [47:31]
Daniel Turner
Bingo. Exactly. And that's why when the Elizabeth Warren's and the Bernie Sanders, when they just trivialize it or reduce it to, you're just greedy. It's insulting because these are, these are good Americans too, right? They're trying to run a business. They're not trying to scam you. But this is just really simple economics of how this industry works. But you have this elite class of people deeply influenced by Marx at this point, who are just angry and bitter and quite frankly, very, very economically dumb. And they like to create hostility. So they're going to go to that Exxon Mobil station on Capitol Hill next to Heritage and hold a sign and say greedy, greedy. It's just insulting and stupid. That's who Democrats are.
- [48:15]
Vince
In fairness, that Exxon kind of has a monopoly on all the gas sales in the area. So it is very expensive. Daniel Turner, great to about talk to you as always, man. Thank you for that explainer. Appreciate you for being here today.
- [48:25]
Daniel Turner
You got it, Vince.
- [48:26]
Bernie Moreno
Thank you.
- [48:26]
Vince
All right, there he is, Daniel Turner with Power of the Future. A lot of good information and a lot of good stuff to remember here, but gas prices are definitely coming down all across the nation if they're high in your area. First of all, I'm sorry about that, but, but also, there's a high probability that Democrats run your state. That's also a huge problem. Poor California. Poor California. All right, We've got so much more to get to here. Speaking of crazy Democrats, I, we, you know, we just got this big story that, you know, that attempted attack on the White House over the weekend at the UFC fight, the guys who were plotting to use explosive drones in order to attack the perimeter of the White House to get the crowd to rush out of the fight and then to open up fire on them when with snipers who were lying in wait and then to raid the White House itself through the open doors. That, that was the plan according to the feds. As they are prosecuting all of these guys, we now find out that the ringleader of that operation was a dreamer. That's right. A DACA recipient. A DACA recipient. Somebody who President Obama allowed to stay in the country illegally. And here's the story. This comes to us, of course, from the New York Post. Alleged ringleader behind White House UFC attack plot was identified as an illegal immigrant who was granted Dreamer status under Obama. This ringleader, according to DHS, his name is Abraham Alvarez, 31 years old. He came to the United States as a child and he failed to leave the country when his visa expired in 2001, but was granted deportation relief under the Obama administration through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. DACA Dreamer. He's a dreamer. He was arrested in an old church in the small town of western Nebraska on June 14, which he intended to use as a safe zone for himself and his alleged coconspirators. According to a local report by first alert, six areas that's his mug shot. Those are watching rumble.com Vince. He's smiling in the mugshot. It's like Batman villain, mental illness stuff. There he is, you know, off to Arkham Asylum he goes. From his home here in Nebraska, Alvarez allegedly directed and recruited others across the country to conduct a horrific attack against government officials. In a mass casualty event, says the FBI, our team worked around the clock to locate and apprehend him, take him into custody and collect crucial evidence. He was one of five alleged co conspirators in the scheme to kill President Trump and other top government officials at the combat sports spectacle held late Sunday on the White House South Lawn. All right, so we got a dreamer. We got a dreamer. People say he's a dreamer. You know, this could have all been prevented. Obama, this is all completely, as you probably well know, unconstitutional. Obama just invented out of whole cloth amnesty. There's no law passed. It was just him saying that, you know, we're not going to deport dreamers. We're not going to deport people who came to the country illegally as children. Now none of them are children anymore. This guy's 31 years old. He's an adult. Man came here illegally. He came in when his family broke the law or whoever brought him in broke the law. Okay, so he's got to go. We have to have consequences. What do we want, a system where more children can be imported to the United States. Under those circumstances, no, you have to shut that down. And the way to shut that down is to impose consequences on anybody who comes in illegally. Obama's announcement came back in 2012, and I remember it really well. Do you remember this, ladies and gentlemen? Chad, do you remember this? It was the Rose Garden. Obama walks out to the Rose Garden, the same scene where these people wanted to commit this crime this week, these dreamers. Obama announced in the Rose Garden that he would not deport them. And at the time, he said, why? It's the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do for the American people. He said at the time, the right thing to do. Now, of course, it was the wrong thing to do. And back at that 2012 announcement, there was one patriot, one in the American press corps who raised his voice and asked a very simple question to the President of the United States. Why are you favoring foreigners over Americans? Why are you doing this? And Obama was outraged by this question. Now, when this patriot, his name is Neil Monroe, raised it, he raised it as Obama was conducting this gross violation of American sovereignty and he was continuing to Ramble on in this slowly delivered Obama esque speech. Neal at the time was my White House correspondent at the Daily Caller. And there he was in the Rose Garden and he asked the President, why are you doing this? He thought the President had concluded his remarks, by the way, because Obama constantly had the most pregnant pauses ever. So Neil jumped in to just ask the question. Obama lost his mind. I want to remind you of what that moment was like here. It was back in 2012. Now, 14 years ago, Neil asked the great question because we are a better
- [53:56]
Neil Monroe
nation than one that expels innocent young kids. And the answer to your question, sir, and the next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question, is this is the right thing to do for the American people. Babika, I didn't ask for an argument. I'm answering your question. It is the right thing to do for the American people.
- [54:18]
Bernie Moreno
People.
- [54:19]
Neil Monroe
And here's why. Here's the reason. Because these young people are going to make extraordinary contributions and are already making contributions to our society.
- [54:31]
Vince
Fourteen years later, one of those extraordinary young people would attempt to kill the President of the United States and everybody at the White House in that exact location. Precisely where Obama announced that he would not enforce the law. God bless Neil Monroe. Do you know what happened to Neil after that? The press corps chased Neil Monroe down the street back to the Daily Caller offices where he arrived. Neil was always unflappable. He didn't really care that much. They asked him, what's your name? What's your name? He's like, I'm not telling you, you're going to misspell it. Anyway. Came back to the, came back to the Daily Caller offices. We had film crews showing up outside of our building as if Neil had conducted some sort of attack on the American people. That Neil was the problem. They called him a heckler. They said that he was out of control. There were questions about whether or not he should be booted from the White House press corps. Neal was attacked because he asked a legitimate question. He performed a legitimate act of journalism and he stood up for the American people, which is kind of the point. It's why the founders built this into the First Amendment and Obama invented a law, just invented it. And one of the beneficiaries of this unconstitutional invention of a law just tried to kill the President of the United States in that exact location.
- [56:04]
Tulsi Gabbard
Hey there.
- [56:05]
Vince
I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. If you don't control your money, it controls you. You're not in control of your financ. And you have to look outside of yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in control. You're like, like, what is it that you actually want? Money should follow the dreams and goals, because sometimes we make the dream and goal the money.
- [56:23]
Tulsi Gabbard
And you've overworked yourself and you've exceeded
- [56:25]
Vince
what you've needed for the actual thing you want.
- [56:28]
Michelle Obama
Sometimes we forget, like, what's the actual thing you want?
- [56:30]
Vince
Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to call that other than an outright atrocity. What a betrayal of the American people. God bless Neil all these many years later. I still love that story. I love that he did that. Now, yesterday, because of Obama's incredible successes as President of the United States, they opened the. The Death Star or whatever they're calling it in Chicago, and they had a big ceremony and it was all about how great Obama is. And it was at that event that Michelle Obama gave a speech quite unfortunately, and she said that people like the guy who just tried to kill President Trump are, quote, the beating heart of America. Cut 10.
- [57:18]
Michelle Obama
Watch immigrants proving what it truly means to be a dreamer. These folks, these folks are. Aren't Americans, too. They are America. They are the beating heart of this country. They are us, and we are them. And to ignore the simple truth, to refuse to respect the contributions and experiences of people who aren't exactly like us, y' all put. Puts us all at risk. Failing to see the humanity in all people puts us all on a slippery slope.
- [58:03]
Vince
Now, of course, that is a perfect inversion of the truth. The thing that puts us at risk is opening our borders. What? The thing that puts us at risk is not enforcing the law. The thing that puts us at risk is when illegal aliens attempt to take up arms to kill the President of the United States at the White House in the Rose Garden, in the exact spot where Obama said that you're allowed to break our laws. That's the thing that puts us at risk, you poisonous moron. Michelle Obama. By the way, that statement from Michelle Obama should be a much bigger scandal than a UFC fighter standing in the Octagon and saying, she's a man. To be clear, what just came out of her mouth is a much more consequential consequential scandal. What just came out of her mouth is a much more consequential scandal to the average American than a UFC fighter saying that she's a dude, which the left shouldn't object to anyway because they say gender is a social construct, that it's. The whole thing is so stupid. But that was the big dedication yesterday. It was full of all sorts of nonsense, including a moment yesterday. Valerie Jarrett was there. That goofball. Valerie Jarrett straight up said that. Look at this. This is a cut 12. She straight up did a land acknowledgement to start the event yesterday. And listen to this idiocy come out of Valerie Jarrett's face. And I love that most of the American public is not falling for this crap anymore. Listen to this.
- [59:40]
Tulsi Gabbard
We'd also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today. We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi nations.
- [59:59]
Vince
It's so stupid. It's honestly so stupid. You know what the best part of this, though, is that after a listing, all of these various exotic, ancient peoples who may or may not have ever transited in any vicinity of Chicago over any period of time. You know who she didn't mention in her list of people who've been displaced, who the land was taken from? The Chicagoans who are being evicted from their houses because of the new Obama Center. Yeah, Actual living people right now who are getting booted out of their homes because Obama decided to build a gigantic, gigantic trash can in the middle of Chicago. She didn't bother to mention them because she's a lefty. It's not really fundamentally about caring about any human being suffering. It's about virtue signaling about nonsense so that you're not judged on the actual merits. That's what it is. In fact, there are all sorts of stories of Chicagoans right now who can't afford to live in their homes anymore because Obama booted them. Yeah, just. I just posted about this on my X account. There's a Chicago Sun Times has a. Has a great piece up right now. The headline on this is south side Residents call for Stronger Housing Protections as Obama Center's Official Opening Nears. And in the Chicago Sun Times piece, they say, they quote, a woman called Stevie Early. Her name's Stevie. A lifelong South Shore resident. She said a dramatic rent increase has now forced her to leave her home after years of poor maintenance. So when the Obama center construction began, her building got a new owner. Her rent has gone up. They're asking her to pay now $2,450 a month to stay in her home. And so she's got to move. She can't afford to live there anymore. So forget the Potawami, the Odawa, the Council of Three Fires, or whatever the hell you're talking about. How about Stevie Early? She didn't acknowledge Stevie Early. It's not like, you know, Valerie Jarrett was like, and we acknowledge Stevie early, who we forced out of her home to build the Obama Center. They didn't acknowledge any of this crap. They're hurting American citizens right now and they're pretending like America has something to be ashamed about. And we're the heroes of this story. What a bunch of scams. The con artists. It is. It is really crazy. And one more out of the the Obama center, just in case you're wondering, these guys really hate the American people or do they support the little guy? They say they support the little guy. They say they support labor. They say they support the worker. Labor. The worker. How about this? The Washington Times. Susan Ferraccio has a story up. The wonderful Susan Ferraccio has a story up. Right now, the Obama Presidential center is open and they still haven't paid the workers who built it. The structure's up. The structure's up. A subcontractor is seething on the sidelines over not getting paid for work performed on the building. Businesses are now weighing whether to file liens or lawsuits for losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars associated with change orders to projects. The massive building was initially budgeted for $330 million, but the cost later rose to $850 million, making it the most expensive presidential dumpster in history. Excuse me, library in history. Michael Owen is the owner of Adamson Plumbing and one of the few subcontractors willing to go on the record. He said his company is owed now more than $2 million. He's been sift $2 million by the Obamas. The Washington Times reached out to the Obama foundation and Lakeside alliance, the main contractor on the project. So the workers, the little guy who built the building itself, not getting paid. Not getting paid. So they make land acknowledgments to distant peoples who have nothing to do with the fact that there are Chicagoans who are being actively displaced. And then the workers, including Chicagoans, who built the building, are being screwed over because they're not even getting paid. This is the kind of gratitude that Obama is demonstrating to the fine people of the Windy City, in case you're wondering. Typical stuff. Absolutely typical stuff. I'm super glad the Obama regime is out of power. Let's keep it that way. I've got a big national radio show coming up today. We'll cover a lot more on that program.

There are a bunch of people out there pulling you into an information vortex, dumping the dead pig in the well, hoping you jump in. Don't jump in the well. It's a trap. Find a way out immediately. This is the nothing is happening trap and it is inverted sense of reality. If we don't correct it and your kids believe it, I'm sorry. This show's for nothing.
