• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, President Trump says that the United States is prepared
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for more hits on Iran at any time after calling
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the retaliatory strikes a love tap.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Trey Yinks joins us now from Israel, Tel Aviv. Hey, Trey,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: what's happening?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hey guys, good morning. Overnight, Iran launched another attack
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: in the Gulf, targeting Kuwait with missiles and drones. Sirens
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: sounded there, forcing people to take shelter. We know the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Kuwaiti foreign ministry called this a violation of the country's sovereignty.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: The event came after President Trump indicated on Wednesday the
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: United States is prepared to strike Iran again when needed.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: We took out all of the new equipment that they
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz. some defensive,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: some offensive. We're taking out a lot of ships. They
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: can't see it because they have no radar because we
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: blew it up. And we blew up much more than
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: their radar last night. It was a very heavy attack
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: last night. And we're prepared to do another one any
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: time we want.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Reports indicate the United States is ramping up efforts to
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: export oil through the Strait of Hormuz, getting 18 million
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: barrels out of the Persian Gulf while escorting 40 commercial
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: vessels on Tuesday. While the critical waterway remains a source
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of regional tension, officials believe the recent U.S. strike further
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: degraded Iran's ability to threaten the strait. Inside of Iran,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: economic pressure is mounting.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: U.S.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary Scott Besson told Fox News, we are telling
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: friends and foes, do not deal with this evil regime.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: The Iranian real continues to deteriorate in value as the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Iranian people are starting to feel the strain.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Look, I'm not in favor of sanctions, but I'm not
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: in favor of war either, because both have a negative
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: impact on our lives and drive inflation higher. The only
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: way the situation can improve is through negotiations, although they
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: don't seem to support negotiations either.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Here in Israel, officials are warning about the possibility of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Iran attacking the country during the Jewish high holidays.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Guys?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So when we talk about what's getting through the strait, Trey,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I know from Sunday and Monday we had some numbers.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Now they're doing it in terms of how many barrels
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: are getting through the strait. So roughly, do we know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: has it gotten past 27 ships? I know the goal
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: would be 100 to 115. That's pre-war levels.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Where are we at, you think?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: So reports indicate on Tuesday that 40 commercial vessels were
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: escorted by the U.S. Navy through this southern route. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: it's very significant. It's getting closer and closer to about
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: half of the pre-war levels. But the number of barrels
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: of oil is really the most significant number here. Before
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the war started, we were talking about 20 million barrels
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: of crude oil exported each day. 18 million barrels is
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a new record for these escorts that are taking place.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And it undermines the Iranian ability to threaten the Strait
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of Hormuz. And this is exactly what the U.S.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Navy wants.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: They have the blockade in place. It's being supported by
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: two aircraft carriers, 12 destroyers. And that new aircraft carrier
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that arrived in theater, the USS George Washington, that is
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: participating in these strikes against Iran. And so there's a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: lot of personnel in the area and still 50,000 U.S.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: forces deployed across the region to put that parallel military
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: pressure on Iran with these new economic sanctions in place.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So, Trey, we had heard the last time, about a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: month ago, that the administration was using different routes, because
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we kept looking at the price of oil, and it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was going down. But it looks like that we hadn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: reached up to, you know, 70 percent of those ships
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: going through. And the administration was saying that the public
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: data is different from their internals. What do you know
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: about that and the different routes they're using to get
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: those ships?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They're using this southern route that is further from Iranian territory.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean that it's not threatened by the Iranians.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: They are still trying to target vessels in this area.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: But because they have the overwatch of the U.S. Navy
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: there that is currently stationed in the Gulf of Oman...
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: They're able to ensure that any sorts of threats that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: are targeting these vessels are dealt with. And it's not
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a perfect system. There have still been reports of oil
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: tankers being hit in the Strait of Hormuz. But the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: bottom line here is that they're able to export crude oil.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And it's not coming from Iran. It's coming from Gulf allies.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And these countries are going to continue using this southern
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: route with the help of the U.S.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Navy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And again, it undercuts the Iranian efforts to try to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: close this critical waterway. The president floated the idea of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and it remains this area of focus, because, at this moment,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: there are no talks taking place between the United States
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and Iran. And more than six months into this conflict,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the administration has shifted the focus to what will be
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: this tit-for-tat, this exchange of fire that is expected to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: take place in the future, but also the economic pressure
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: on the Iranian regime. And again, it shows that they
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: can enforce the naval blockade and allow for Gulf exports
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: of crude oil not coming from Iran. And that puts
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: new pressure on regime officials in Tehran because they rely
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: on their crude oil exports to support the economy.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Troy.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Let's see what's happening. A slow strangulation of their economy
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: like they've never seen before. Yeah, there's been sanctions before,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: but not surrounded by military enforcement.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And the countries that are connected to Iran.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: And how much longer will the people live through this without,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: you know, an uproar? Because if that were happening in America,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: if we were getting squeezed and we had to wait
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: in lines for gas for hours at 3 in the morning,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: can you imagine?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have no guns and they hang people.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, they hung a woman over the weekend who
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: took a picture of somebody protesting. They found out who
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: took the picture and they hung her. So that's what's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: keeping everyone at bay. You got two options.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Arm the people, and it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Could be happening, or unleash the Mossad. They know exactly
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: where the IRGC is. They know where all the people are.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: They've already proven they can take out scientists. Look what
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: they did early in the war.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But if you want to move things.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Along, Scott Besson's doing a phenomenal job.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Our military's doing awesome.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But how about really unleashing the Mossad to go do
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: their thing inside that country? And it's to the benefit
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of the 80 million that want a shot at freedom.
