So, basically, constraining the regime on the budgetary side post-fighting while adding on the blockade basically allows you to weaponize the dollar in a way that you have done damage, particularly to the above-ground solid-propellant ballistic missile production in Iran. And if you squeeze the resources at a time when they otherwise have budgetary issues, they have subsidy issues, it was a failed state pre-war, it was a failed state even pre-protest. Anyway, when you look at the macroeconomic indicators sliding this way, like inflation, for example, in the Islamic Republic, you maximize that, which means you maximize the damage that was done by the kinetics in the previous round of fighting. And if Iran's philosophy is, you mentioned partisan politics, if it's build back better as quickly as possible, some of you may know that bill. Are you saying that the Arabs just hear a bunch of Democrats? I'll let you say that. But if their philosophy is to build back better or to build back faster or to race us to build, these are the tools that actually put time on our side. Because if you marry this powerful financial architecture with what the blockade was able to do-- I mean, just look at the oil exports from February, I think, to May, 2.1 million barrels per day, 1.15 million barrels per day, 900,000 million barrels per day. And then by the time you got to the full month of the blockade after about a half-month of the ceasefire, you had only 64,000 barrels per day. Only four ships got past the US that month before we got into the month that led to the negotiations that got into the MOU. So this will be effective.

We're back Katie Zachariah Caroline sunshine Elizabeth Pipko very nice the president to mention the show there It's interesting Elizabeth Pipko to you first I you know, I wanted to bring up the AI thing because it's very true. I mean people are fascinated by AI They're also kind of afraid of AI and and they worry that the data centers might be in their backyard But even worse they might end up in China's backyard That's exactly right trace that is the nightmare scenario and that's what president Trump and let's say honestly Republicans at this point unlike their counterparts actually understand there is a global AI race going on right now Everybody knows that as the president said we cannot avoid but being in this race Competing in this race and making sure that America continues to be the leading technological and military power worldwide It's the only option that we have with the world that has an ever-changing landscape every single day the constant threats that both our country And our president has to face and knowing that China is working over time not just to compete globally But to compete directly with the United States of America You either want to win or you want to lose and thank God our current president wants to keep us on top Yeah, I think what I think he's right the the show really is that good I'm kidding the the whole idea behind the economy here is it's gonna be a struggle because the prices are still kind of high Caroline Yeah, but we talk about you know, look where we are We're in Blue State, California, right and we're in this port of San Pedro So the oil that comes to this port the second it comes off the ships and into the trains before it ever goes into Americans cars in California what happens Gavin Newsom slaps a $2 tax on it So while the rest of the country gets to enjoy low or high gas prices They are always high here in California has Gavin Newsom ever offered to temporarily lift that tax to permanently lift that tax No, what about when the president passed no tax on tips Gavin Newsom said nope not gonna do that here So it's the blue straights blue states that are intentionally obstructing a lot of what the president's trying to do Katie Well, I want to go back to China for a second because no other president has faced China like President Trump has and when he said About Venezuela earlier what he said about Iran China is the purchaser of 90% of their oil comes from Iran and with the AI race Independent energy president Trump knows that the prosperity and sovereignty of the United States is independent energy and he has done that for us And that is for our children our grandchildren and the heritage of future generations and also Greenland trace and so this is his multifaceted approach with China and he gets it and I'm so grateful as Elizabeth Pipko said We have a president who wants and cares about an energy in the AI race

Obama cut the nuclear deal and then delivered to Iran an enormous amount of cash and turned a blind eye basically to the proxies and the missiles and drones. So if you think of Iran's defense posture as being a triad of the nuclear program proxies and disruptive military capabilities, we got in one leg of the triad we got temporary and reversible restrictions and then a complete green light to the Iranians to develop everything else. So that was I think a huge mistake in American strategy and Donald Trump has reversed that and he has returned deterrence and the credible threat of military force to the equation. And for that alone I give him an A. I give him an A+ for that. It's absolutely necessary. You can hear a lot of arguments especially when talking to our European friends, they say that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war, now it's closed, the problem hasn't been solved, it's just been worsened and so on. And my answer to that very simply is what was your plan to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon? What was your plan from stopping Iran from putting its nuclear program behind a wall of missiles and drones that was going to exact that if allowed to continue to develop was going to exact such a high price from the United States if it attacked them that we would never be able to use them, we wouldn't have the military option. So I think that what Donald Trump did was absolutely necessary if he hadn't done it, what the Americans and the Israelis together did was absolutely necessary, if he hadn't done it then every American base in the region was under threat and we were going to have a nuclear armed Iran in very short order, the price of doing anything about it was going to become prohibitive and we also had an Iran that could be the proxy of China in the event that we were to go, that China was to make a play for Taiwan, it would be able to close the Strait of Hormuz and the Baba Mandeb and so on. So I think we need to also see it in that global level. So I give him very very high marks for taking this on and expending the political capital that it took to do it.

New Hampshire, we don't talk about it a lot, but there were shenanigans that went on. Hillary Clinton won it only by 2,700 back in 2016. Biden somehow beat even her margin by tens of thousands, even as President Trump gained over 20,000 votes. What went on in New Hampshire, and what can New Hampshire do to make it secure going forward for 2022 and 2024? A lot went on in New Hampshire. Let me tell you, Natalie, I am running for federal office here because I want to ensure that the people of my great state have a voice at the state level and at the federal level. In 2020, in New Hampshire, there were more than 200,000 new voter registrations. By the way, we have a population of 1.3 million, so you tell me if that sounds right. We also had a 30 percent increase in absentee ballots. Of course, the Democrats like to say that was a pandemic precaution, but we know that they use that as a mechanism to get their way. We also saw in our state anomalies in our voting machines, we did an audit in one town, and the tapes from that machine could not be replicated by any hand count. I know there are great patriots in this state that are actually going and pulling the tallies for every single machine and all 136 towns that use them. I look forward to seeing the report that they've been working so hard to put together, and we're going to bring that to the national level to get to the bottom of what happened in 2020 so we can ensure that it doesn't in 2022 and 2024. It's so important. Thank you for the work that you're doing to expose what happened in New Hampshire because, again, President Trump should have won it. He did win it because you can't expand your voting base by that much and then somehow lose it. Biden more popular than Hillary. It's not believable. Thank you, Caroline, and keep us posted on your race. We're all watching it. Thank you, Natalie, and I will just say I'm the only candidate in this race to say that President Trump won in 2020, and I will work my hardest every single day to ensure we get to the bottom of it. It's carolineforcongress.com. That's Caroline with a K. Awesome. You're right, Trump won.
