Episode 5307: The Strait Of Hormuz Opens; American Industries Seeing The Lies Of Illegal Immigration
Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz after a U.S. Navy blockade allegedly cut off oil exports and froze assets, forcing Tehran to surrender underground uranium without payment while prices drop to $81 per barrel. Simultaneously, Sean Spicer claims liberal Supreme Court justices delay a Louisiana Voting Rights Act dissent to block Southern redistricting before midterms, while critics argue H-1B visas and OPT programs allow foreign workers to steal American jobs despite $100,000 fees. The episode concludes by promoting a Virginia "War Room" gathering to celebrate local victories against deep state influence and globalist immigration policies. [Automatically generated summary]
Wallmakers got a closed door briefing during which intelligence officials told them Iran still retains thousands of missiles and one way attack drones capable of threatening American and allied forces in the region.
That echoes CNN's reporting from earlier this month that roughly half of Iran's missile launchers were still intact.
It is very, very difficult in an air campaign to completely destroy the military capacity of an adversary, particularly one like Iran, that had thousands of missiles, thousands of launchers, and a whole bunch of drones.
You can significantly degrade it.
But if your adversary isn't trying to take over anything, they're just trying to maintain the ability to inflict pain, then that's a much lower bar for them to jump over.
And we all knew going into this that Iran would maintain that capability.
And the president just sort of hoped that the regime would somehow collapse.
But again, as John Bolton said, it's simply become more hard line.
So, yes, it's a huge problem in terms of being able to force Iran to do any of the things that we would like them to do on nuclear weapons, on support for terrorist groups, on their ballistic missile program.

Breaking news to bring you now.
This is from the IEA chief, the International Energy Agency chief, Fatim Birol, saying that Europe has maybe six weeks or so of jet fuel left, warning of possible flight cancellations soon.
This is being reported by the AP news agency, saying these comments are coming to us from Paris.
So, Fatim Birol, the International Energy Agency chief, saying that Europe has maybe six or so weeks of jet fuel left, warning of possible flight cancellations soon.
We've, of course, heard similar warnings.
From the boss of Europe's biggest airline, Ryanair, in previous weeks as well, talking about potential disruption through the course of the early summer.
Well, as we approach mid April, that would align with about June, according to these warnings from Fatibir al, the IAE chief, saying that Europe has six weeks or so of jet fuel left, warning of possible flight cancellation soon.
Iran's foreign minister has announced the Strait of Hormuz is open, that Iran has its own blockade there in place for several weeks since the start of that war.
But because the Israel Lebanon conflict is now in a ceasefire, Iran has said they will reopen the strait.
That had been one of their conditions made public 10 days or so ago in order to do just that.
Now, there's a lot of open questions still.
What does that mean for the U.S. Navy's blockade?
We presume it will also lift, but the U.S. officials have not said that yet.
President Trump celebrating it on Truth Social just now.
And as you mentioned, it also could mean that the U.S. Navy blockade would end.
And certainly the tone of President Trump's True Social suggested that it possibly is going to end.
But it also comes at a time as President Trump has been signaling that negotiations are going in a positive direction.
He has said yesterday that he doesn't believe that this ceasefire needs to be extended.
He also said that Iran has agreed to actually hand over that underground uranium.
And he actually referred to it as nuclear dust.
But that has also been a key asset of the U.S.
They have been incredibly skeptical about the levels of enrichment that Iran has been doing, and they have felt uncomfortable with the fact that the uranium is underground and they're not able to easily monitor it by satellite.
So, this just comes at a time, frankly, when it seems that this war could be coming to an end.
But we just have to see exactly how this all plays out.
The mechanics of potentially unwinding this blockade could be incredibly complicated, but that's just something that we're going to have to watch in the hours to come today.
Steve, for the better part of 40 days, the beginning of this thing, I was a little skeptical.
I was nervous about much, much higher.
Then they announced the blockade, and we were talking, we realized that that was the one.
I guess the one Trump card that Iran held was that blockade, I'm sorry, holding the Strait of Hormuz would be able to drive our gas prices up, our inflation up, unless we could fix it quickly, get through it, whatever it meant, bombing or not, other, immediately.
It rang such a bell so loud, Steve, that you and I were on at 4 45 or so after it was announced, and we were just talking about how amazing this likely was going to be.
I'm shocked at how good this is.
So all these people who are calling me a panic, and, well, I was showing upside.
I would tell you, Steve, brilliant strategy.
We set it.
The minute it was announced.
And I will tell you today, oil is down to $80.
It's $95 a barrel yesterday.
It's $81 a barrel.
It's down $14 in one day because Trump, what he did was he took the one bargaining chip that the Iranians had off the table.
He took it from them.
He reached over to the poker table and took that card right off and put it on his deck, slammed the door shut.
And I will tell you, I look back now and I'm going to make a formal apology to the Trump administration because I said, you shouldn't have sent JD Vance over there.
But it made sense in the aftermath knowing that if they were going to put this blockade in, because here's why.
I thought Marco Rubio would be the better negotiator.
He probably would have been had it been a real negotiation.
But I think he was set, Trump was setting up the Iranians.
I think he was setting them up for failure, sending JD over there, the next number two in charge in America, maybe in the world, knowing that he was going to walk out of there without a deal.
I think that's why they walked so quickly.
They put terms on the table that were either going to be massive wins for the United States, or better yet, if it didn't work out, The best next option would be to get out of there where the Iranians don't take the deal, get out of there quick before they change their mind, and then you slap in this blockade.
Oh my goodness, Stephen!
And by the way, the Navy, badass.
If you haven't heard those audios of the Navy seamen talking to ships that are trying to transverse the Strait of Hormuz, the full force of the United States Navy will stop you.
When Scott mentioned it, I think in a talk he gave, I think CNBC picked it up.
It was about 10 days ago when he mentioned that we needed an implement for economic warfare, and that would be the blockade.
This was already in process, right?
Because it's quite complicated to be able to pull it together, but it was a forcing function.
Remember, the guys in Islamabad don't count.
The guys in really Tehran don't count.
They're intermediaries for the Chinese Communist Party.
This was a major FU to the CCP to say, hey, we're going to block and turn around all these gray ships.
And remember, some of this gray fleet was being refueled, was being loaded up in our great ally in UAE, right?
So it was to basically shut the whole thing down, then do the deal with Indonesia so we could shut down the Straits of Malacca also.
Which shows the CCP that, hey, President Trump can put the vice grip on anybody.
So it worked out.
But look, it's day by day, moment by moment.
They're saying one thing right now that, hey, it's going to open.
But the reason they need to open is that they have no cash.
And if we've actually frozen the assets coming out of Dubai, our great ally there, and we've locked in and Scott stopped it from other places, these guys have no cash whatsoever.
So I just hope that we haven't been too easy and easing up here because the CCP is finally paying attention.
And I'm telling these guys.
Now, how do you read this as because right now they're also, President Trump just put that up, Eric, on the nuclear part of this.
There was a rumor coming out that Axios reported on this morning that they required $20 billion from us to get the nuclear dust.
Of course, President Trump's not going to pay for anything.
I think he just said that they're going to have a nuclear discussion about this, about the pixie dust left over from the total obliteration raid back in June, but that it's coming to us for free.
My sense is there's a really, you mentioned it, I'm not sure we understand the implications of it, but the world does, and certainly Trump does.
The deal to blockade wasn't a deal to like, okay, we'll open the Strait of Hormuz and we'll figure out the other stuff and make money or blah, blah, blah, we won't obliterate your civilization, open it.
The blockade kept money out of the coffers of certainly Iran, but it also kept oil out of the.
China's blowing through their stockpile.
They had a billion too.
They're just blowing through it day by day.
They need that oil desperately.
The blockade just, you know, it could have gone on for six months, a year.
Then Iran is dead.
China's likely in massive recession.
It's so powerful.
So powerful.
I think Trump can pretty much ask for whatever he wants at this point.
What an amazing, amazing.
As long as they enforce it, you know what I mean?
And they sound like they are.
That's it.
And they don't let any of these ships get through.
And by the way, you're not going to be able to enrich uranium even to not weapons grade, but to electricity producing grade anymore if you don't want to.
If you want to give them, you know, humanitarian, throw them a humanitarian bone, let them.
As we've talked a lot about, particularly 19, the golden years for the Trump economy when they were hitting on all cylinders, full spectrum energy dominance is the predicate for the Trump economy.
He wants oil with a four handle in front of it, he'll take a five handle.
It's $81 right now on the spot market.
You got guys that are trying to mitigate their own risk.
When do you see it going back down?
Because this thing started when BB went to the White House back in December, I think it was $50.
When do you see it going back down?
Is American production ramping up?
Are we getting more out of the Gulf of America?
Is Guyana going to come on stream?
Is Venezuela helping out here?
When are we going to get oil for the United States down to $50 a barrel?
One of the biggest moments in your life as an officer, particularly if you didn't go to the academy or didn't go to ROTC, is the moment you shift from Naval Reserve to regular Navy.
Well, you said two things that are critical there, right?
The first is let me take them backwards.
I think that people need to appreciate how what a game of chess this was.
This was not Iran capitulating, this was the arm of China.
Telling Iran, knock it off, open that thing up.
And I think one of the things that we will find out, hopefully in the next day or two or whatever, is behind the scenes the enormous role that China clearly played in forcing Iran to open the straight up because that blockade was working.
And that leads me to the second point that you've touched on, which is for decades, if not generations to come, what just happened, the level of precision, the level of coordination, the level of jointness that has existed in Operation Epic Fury from the initial launch of it to this blockade will be studied.
Not just at the Naval War College in Newport and the postgraduate school in Montgomery, but will be studied worldwide because what this was was a level of brilliance and sophistication that I don't think people fully appreciated we had or that we could execute on.
And like I said, I think for generations, this will now become a classroom exercise in how to execute.
It also shows, as we have these debates in Congress, that no power on earth has got the strategic bombing capability, the tactical bombing capability, the ability to send in troops, if necessary, special forces, but also a Navy that can just lock things down, whether that's in the Gulf of Oman, the Straits of Malacca, the Taiwan Straits, the Gulf of America around the Panama Canal, and the Greenland Iceland UK gap.
It's a global Navy with all the great traditions from the Royal Navy we took over from.
But you add that.
To the air power we have and the amazing troops and special forces.
Russia ain't got it.
China ain't got it.
Russia and China combined ain't got it, do they, Sean?
And here's the one thing that I know it's sometimes a catchphrase the hardware is one thing, right?
So the ships and the plane, the personnel behind them are what makes that work.
So the people that are executing the plans, the ship drivers, the bomb droppers, the pilots, we have the best military personnel in the world.
And I know rightly so.
We argue that we need better ships, newer ships, better planes, newer planes, newer armament munitions, et cetera.
But it is the might, the thought, the strategic planning, the strategic minds behind the execution of these plans.
I still was in awe of Midnight Hammer, right?
And then what we were down and did in Maduro.
But Epic Fury, Steve, to your point, like the level of coordination, that number of ships, The coordination with the Air Force, the A 10s that went in, the extraction of that backseater.
Like, it's just, it is, you are one in all moment after the next.
And the thing is, what I'm so glad that you're bringing this up because to be honest with you, I think as fewer and fewer people serve in the military and get close enough to it, there's a level of like, oh, well, they can just do this.
Or, you know, that's like the expectation, the bar is so high.
This is, we need to sell the capability of our military.
Of our military, make sure the American people never take for granted the amazing men and women that are part of our military, part of our armed forces, part of our joint force.
And people should understand these Persians are tough.
Look, it's still a long way to go to get to the resolution of this.
But when they shifted the center of gravity of the battle to the Persian Gulf after the hit on the oil and gas field of Qatar in Iran, and they shifted it, and particularly Hormuz, these are tough hombres who are very smart and very dug in.
That ability to, like at halftime in a football game or to call an audible and to totally shift the strategy right then to go to a naval strategy shows you the ability to adapt.
Resilience and adaptability.
And that comes not that the equipment doesn't do that.
That's training.
And you heard Kane yesterday, there's seven to 18 year old kids, right, on the engine order.
Telegraph there on the bridge and a 21 or 22 year old N Center Lieutenant JG.
And by the way, just one quick thing that's fascinating is like, I love the fact, not I didn't love the fact, but when all of the pundits said, you know, no one took into consideration the straight and that Iran control, are you kidding me?
I mean, you know this.
There's a war plan for everything with everything gamed out.
It's not that they didn't know it, it's that you know, there's a lot of things that happen in war.
But when the president pivoted to this blockade, it was the ultimate checkmate moment.
It was like, you think you control this, really?
And every pundit said, Well, the president and the U.S. didn't think about this.
Are you like that?
Just shows a level of naivete that, regardless of where your political leanings are, the idea that no one thought about it as if the straight, I mean, the Navy did a whole series of this thing in the 1980s.
But the blockade to me was the ultimate checkmate moment, which was, okay, we'll show you how brilliant it was to think that you could control this thing.
And here we are today talking about the Iranians capitulating, opening it wide open because the economic stranglehold that we put on the world was unbelievable.
It's the implementation of Scott Besson's economic warfare, and the Chinese got the jerk.
By the way, the president's lighting up as we've done the show, lighting up NATO, said, hey, you could have been there for the Royal Navy, could have been there for the war, but you passed the attack.
I have been told by reliable sources that that decision is done and that the minority is slow walking the dissent so that states can't, and states do not have time to redistrict ahead of it.
But I have been told very reliably that the minority is slow walking that dissent.
unidentified
All right, wait, hold on a second, because I don't think I've read that anywhere.
So, as you remember, several months back, the court heard this Louisiana case on the Voting Rights Act.
And by anyone's account who's a court watcher, the court was very clearly in favor of the Louisiana case that they couldn't redistrict.
They couldn't use the Voting Rights Act, that they're about to throw out that additional section that's part of it for preclearance and otherwise.
So, no one thought this was going to be a problem, right?
It's either 6 3 or 5 4.
But I don't think there's anybody that's watched that doesn't think it.
The question that I started probing around and asking is why?
Why are we not getting this decision?
And here we are today, another day when we expect the decisions and nothing.
And the answer I got back from a very reliable source was the minority on the court is slow walking their dissent.
Why does that matter?
Well, until they put the dissent out there, the court can't issue the opinion.
Why does that matter?
Because as time ticks away, states are then limited in their ability to potentially redistrict.
That will cost Republicans the opportunity to pick up seats.
So, right now, sure, maybe Louisiana picks up one seat, but states like Alabama and others, when I've confirmed this with several folks in the key states, especially southern states that abide by the Voting Rights Act, they're basically telling me, I'm sorry, the clock has run out.
We don't have the time to do it for this cycle.
Yes, we'll get it done for 2030 or 2028, but not in time for this midterm.
This court knows what they're doing.
The liberals on the court are intentionally slow walking the dissent so that it will not be issued in time for many Republican states.
To actually go in and redistrict based on the decision.
They've got a bigger problem with their state Senate in coordination with DeSantis.
But Louisiana will probably pick up one seat.
I think Alabama's probably missed the boat for this cycle.
And you start to go through.
I think that might be it, Steve.
I mean, Louisiana will jam through their one.
And then, in my conversations with other states that would have the potential to use this ruling to redistrict, I don't know that another state that I've talked to is telling me that they will have that.
You know, it's possible, but right now, many are telling me that it's too late based on their legislative calendar.
And that's the key thing.
If the court runs the clock out and many of these legislatures go out of session, they're screwed.
And the court, the minority, the liberals on the court know exactly what they're doing.
I got a brand new book out called Trump 2.0, the forewords written by President Trump and endorsed by a gentleman by the name of Stephen K. Bannon, right on the back.
But I'm excited because President Trump wrote this.
So go to Amazon right now and order Trump 2.0.
And then obviously, you can watch the DC Huddle every day.
We'd love to get you on, Steve.
But the DC Huddle, I'm going to, you know, go follow us.
The magnificence of our surface Navy, of course, with the carriers and the carrier battle groups, carrier strike groups.
I don't want all the glory just to go to the destroyers.
We'll spread it out.
The fast attack submarines are there with us also.
The whole Navy work as a team.
But this is the power of what's happened.
And I want to quote from President Trump's Truth Social.
And this is verbatim.
The USA will get all nuclear dust created by our great B 2 bombers.
No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.
This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon either.
But the USA will separately work with Lebanon and deal with the Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner.
Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer.
They are prohibited from doing so.
By the United States of America.
Enough is enough.
America's greatest ally just got put on a report.
Let me repeat that.
And Tel Aviv Levin and you entire, and Benji Shapiro, the entire Israel First crowd, the commander in chief of the United States military had to go on a social media platform to tell the world that we're not playing games anymore with America's greatest ally.
This deal is in, and I'm quoting the commander in chief this deal is in no way subject to Lebanon either, but the USA will separately work with Lebanon and deal with the Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner.
Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer.
They are prohibited from doing so by the United States of America.
Enough is enough.
I don't know what could be more humiliating because in this entire war, the instigators of additional action that have dragged us in deeper and deeper.
And deeper has been Bibi Netanyahu and America's greatest ally.
This is finally President Trump putting a stop to it in front of the world, ordering them because they've done it behind the scenes before.
And guess what?
Israel didn't pay attention.
They're going to do what they're going to do.
Well, you ain't going to do it any longer.
You're going to do it, you're going to do it on your own nickel, and you're going to do it at your own risk.
This could be, if properly executed by the United States military and the United States government, could be a landmark moment.
And of course, Tel Aviv Levin and Benji Shapiro and all their acolytes and Miriam Adelson and everybody, they're all up in arms, they're all going to be over President Trump.
He had to go out.
Enough is enough.
Take your number two pencil out and underline that.
Enough is enough.
Our magnificent military, 18 year old, 19, 21 year old kids.
Men and women, Hispanic, African American, Asian Americans, whites, have delivered this.
And it's time to stop the games.
The Middle East is a sideshow, and Israel is a sideshow to a sideshow.
And it's time to stop the carnival.
Finish this and do it like the American military just did it.
It gave you a tool, what Scott Besson has been talking about ultimate economic warfare.
You shut them down.
Now, let's make sure everybody gets to the table.
Let's get this whole thing sorted.
Let's not be writing big checks.
Let's get our money out of here.
I think President Trump finally had a belly full of this.
President Trump, as I say, when he says no more games, no games.
So he just put BB on notice no games.
Got to tell you, couldn't be more humiliating.
Everybody on the Israel First Project, all your pom poms, nothing could be more humiliating than what the commander in chief, Was forced to do on his social media platform so all the world saw it at the same time he told you because they've said it behind the scenes and tried to be nice about it, tried to be accommodating, and you just won't listen.
Whether it's bombing, with the whole nonsense about how we started this whole thing, or about bombing Tehran that night, the oil facilities, or about expanding the war into the Persian Gulf and allowed the Persians through asymmetric warfare to shift the center of gravity of battle after you attacked.
Those gas fields against a standing order by the commander in chief.
So now he's got to go globally and put it out to America's greatest ally.
And Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz and that entire cabal in DC should be put on notice.
We're not doing this anymore.
You're not going to jeopardize the national security interests of our nation, and you're certainly not going to put our young men and women in harm's way.
And that's exactly what you guys allowed to happen.
And Lindsey Graham should pay for that.
If the good folks in South Carolina really look at the facts here, Lindsey Graham will be turfed out.
Mo, we just had great news from Sean Spicer, although it looks like the liberals on the court are slow walking a decision so we can get past the date that the southern states can redo.
And I got to tell the southern states right now, you should be sitting there going, hey, we don't care if we have to call a special session and come back on a weekend.
We're going to get this done.
It's only human agency that holds you back once this comes out.
I don't care if they put it out the last day of June when they leave.
You should call the special session for July 4th.
Special session in the southern states should be July 4th in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of this nation by patriots.
Be patriotic.
Do what our forefathers did.
Stand up.
So I don't care if they slow walk it to the last day of the session, call it on the 4th of July.
The folks in your state would celebrate this like nobody's business.
So make sure we do this and make sure that people's votes are not suppressed on this jerry rigged system off the Voting Rights Act.
It's ridiculous and offensive.
And Sean Spicer is absolutely correct.
So, we've got another issue.
We're running through the tape.
I can tell you the amount of tickets we had allocated for this event, we've already blown through.
We're expanding this already.
We want everybody to attend.
This is a celebration, a gathering for the hard work.
And we have to run through the tape through Saturday because it's neck and neck right now.
And of course, the other side's pouring in mains of dollars, and Young and these guys are wasting dollars instead of supporting grassroots and going door to door and getting some professionals in here.
They're buying ads and letting Las Vegas and these guys.
Grift 20% as they always grift, like they grifted down in Texas, and what they've botched in Indiana.
I'll talk more about that tomorrow.
The opportunity in Indiana blown because of the heavy handed nature of people who are grifting money off of MAGA.
Mo Bannon, where do people go?
Where do people go right now to make sure they can come to our gathering?
It's going to be a celebration.
Everybody's going to participate.
Free food, drink, all of it, ma'am, and camaraderie and the sharing of stories of what you guys have accomplished historically.
In this door to door voter connection campaign in the Commonwealth of Virginia by the grassroots, ma'am?
And like you said, the amount of tickets we had originally allocated, people reserved their spots and we hit that number.
So we've opened it up to more.
So if you tried to get a ticket last night from the time you heard me on the evening show, Until this morning, and it said sold out.
Please go back to warroomvarally.eventbrite.com.
More tickets have opened up.
So if you saw that it was sold out and you wanted to attend, please go back to warroomvarally.eventbrite.com to get your ticket.
We've opened up more tickets.
And like you said, it's not only going to be speakers, but it's going to be a chance for the grassroots to meet each other, the camaraderie, and thank you for everything you've done.
You know, we'll have open mic, et cetera, and share.
It's not, you're just not going to sit there and listen to a bunch of speakers.
It's going to be a lot more fun than that.
Although there will be some people coming up and sharing some ideas about Tuesday because we've got to have a huge turnout for game day and then what's going to happen in November.
But I can already tell you from Texas to South Carolina to Georgia to the Commonwealth of Virginia, you're starting to feel it.
This thing, don't get in the mumble tank and don't listen to these people.
Oh, it's all over.
We're going to get crushed.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
As T.E. Lawrence said in the film Lawrence of Arabia, nothing is written.
Your human agency writes it every day.
Divine providence works through you.
You're the instrument of divine providence.
And look in the situation in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
It was written off.
They're going to put in $50 million.
Hakeem Jeffries is going to buy a speakership there.
No.
The grassroots, with no support, just took it.
The organizing principle was we got to win this.
You had no money, no support.
You know, Delowis Stallman and hundreds, if not thousands like her, said, We're not going to do this.
We're not just going to get steamrolled just because the Republican establishment completely collapsed last November, completely collapsed and destroyed the Republican Party in the state, destroyed the representation in the state, and allowed a CIA operative to come in and her true radical nature, right?
The CIA is always kind of happy, you know, as they go in these countries for these color revolutions.
They're always patting you on the head, but they take the mask off and you see the fangs quickly.
And you saw her fangs because she's a vampire.
You saw her fangs because it's kind of weird.
I think she's on the spectrum, too.
She's a weird, very weird, weird lady.
Took the mask off and you see what she's doing.
She's a radical neo Marxist and total globalist, deep stater to radically change the state.
And how offensive to destroy Virginia, the Commonwealth, the cradle of our revolution.
So says Thomas Jefferson, in the role nature of the Commonwealth to basically allow Washington, D.C., the imperial capital suburbs of Northern Virginia, would take all these deep staters and all these foreigners to destroy the Commonwealth.
In the 250th year anniversary of the founding of this republic, driven by these patriots, do you know how offensive that is?
And these folks stood up.
And said, no, you're not going to destroy the 56 counties in Virginia.
We're going to stand up.
And it's been magnificent.
And it's inspired the country, just like these folks in Texas, that hard bitten crew down there in Texas, that for generations have turned Texas into an economic superpower because of their grit and their cussedness.
This is the greatest example of American in the trenches values that, hey, we're not from the Gulf of Oman, those kids being served some of that slop that you see on TV or see on the videos.
To stand in there and make sure that they're part of that blockade.
That's the same grit and determination.
That's the same DNA in the Commonwealth and in Texas and in South Carolina and in Georgia.
It's all there.
And it goes right back to the revolutionary generation that, hey, England's going to tell us what to do.
I don't think so.
I think we got a different idea.
And guess what?
They didn't have an overwhelming majority when they started the revolution.
In fact, there was probably 20%, 25% at best.
I think at the top of our game, it was a third.
A third were Tories.
And a third were just like everyday life or in the middle, just like you see every day.
All the people, all the tech bros running around when Trump won, all the crypto bros.
This is so amazing.
As soon as it gets hot, they're gone.
Perfect example.
Rosemary Jenks is going to be here, a freaking warrior.
I'll put that up later when Fennell and Thayer come up.
Enough is enough.
He has to tell America's greatest ally, enough is enough.
I don't remember FDR having to say that to the Russians or to the Brits.
And there was a lot of disagreement internally.
But that's what an alliance is.
As tough as that alliance was and as demonic, As Stalin was, but the Russian people stepped up for, I don't know, 65 million casualties, roughly, heroically, to destroy the fascists.
And the Chinese, Lao Beijing, another 35 million over there.
And Chiang Kai shek, General Stilwell, can tell you, didn't listen all the time.
Double diltos a couple of three times.
But not as bad as having to be humiliated on the world states.
That's what Tel Aviv Levin suck on this.
Benji suck on this.
This is a humiliation.
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
Coming from Donald John Trump, Commander in Chief of the United States military.
Rosemary Jenks, there's all kind of running around.
I want to go to is it the H 1B?
We want to start there?
You know, the vice president is up there on that stage the other night.
I don't know if he doesn't understand the math or he's just giving misinformation.
But let's talk about H 1Bs.
We have a crisis in this country.
The crisis in this country is we let too many foreign workers in here to steal the jobs of American citizens.
And this is why young people are sitting there going between AI and foreign workers.
What is my future?
That I or my brother or my cousin, they're over in right now in the Gulf of Oman, or I'm going, or I've been there and I've come back.
What's the upside for me?
America first.
And American citizens above that, American citizens first.
They get the best deal.
It's not that you have to be a supplicant.
What is all this arguing about?
Oh, the foreign workers.
It's got to stop.
American citizens are paramount to everyone.
Everyone.
They must get the best deal on everything.
And now you got Elon Musk out there.
Oh, we're going to have a universal basic income, but now it's going to be a high maintenance income.
Okay, you're going to be an indentured servant.
Because they're going to let AI and the robots take over.
They're not going to happen, man.
We're fighting this every day, and all these new measures of the oligarchs that try to slip it into a must pass bill that has to end.
And Johnson in the House, you're nothing but prostitutes for these people.
You're paid.
You're paid hookers.
Thank God you got the Senate on this one.
There's at least standing tall guys like Schmidt and Hawley and others.
It's got to stop.
You can't be bought and paid for.
And Johnson, we know you're running around and we know what you're going to do and we're going to defeat you again and humiliate you again.
But you're one of these guys.
The more you humiliate you, the more you like it.
Rosemary Jenks, this H 1B visas, this number came out at Cato and Cato is the worst.
They want open borders.
Any number they put out, you got to check 50 times.
The lesson here is don't ever trust Cato for anything, at least regarding immigration.
I don't know what else they do, but on immigration, they are always.
Wrong.
So they put out a paper that purports to say that H 1B visas are down because of the $100,000 Trump fee.
Well, that is not accurate because the Trump fee only applies to new H 1B visa holders coming here from abroad.
That is the authority that the president has.
He can restrict the entry of aliens, but he cannot restrict what happens once foreign.
Workers are here.
So, what's basically happening is that yes, the number of new foreign H 1Bs coming into the United States is down because of the $100,000 fee, but the number of foreign workers or foreign students in the United States who are applying for H 1Bs is filling the gap.
So, there is no overall reduction in the number of H 1B visas being issued.
The pipeline from OPT, foreign student to OPT to H 1B, is still wide open.
And it needs to be shut down, and Congress needs to shut it down.
The president could end OPT today if he wanted to.
I don't understand why that hasn't been done, but it needs to be shut down because these are American jobs and they're being taken away from American workers.
The numbers are not going down because we have so many foreigners in our country so that they can apply for these visas from within the United States and avoid the fee.
The kids in this country, the young people in this country, let me be blunt.
They're not going to just sit there and go, okay, steal our future.
Just take our future.
They're a massive political force.
And they're awakening to the fact that they're getting screwed.
And they're going to have a say so.
They are going to be beginning to understand their agency.
And their agency is going to be quite powerful.
And on top of that, they're right.
They have yet to show me a billet in the millions that are here, the millions that are here, a billet that has either educational or a job requirement that cannot be filled by, wait for it, a citizen of the United States of America.
Short break, back in the warm with Rosemary Jenks and many others after a short commercial break.
