If what Bessent is saying right now, that the first time, this is the first time in history, Bessent says Iran has zero oil revenue as tanker loading collapses, okay? And this is coming from who? Tyler Durden from Fight Club. It's so funny, we know who the guy is behind, ZeroHitch does a great job, those guys, they're phenomenal, yeah. So, this is the first time, Bessent on a new episode of Axios Show, if you want to pull this up, by the way, they are isolating them economically like this, never before. Is this it? Please play the clip, go for it.

Watch this.

Do you have it or no? Oh, he can stand like that for a long time, that's impressive.

SPEAKER_3 (1:15)

I'll just read what he says.

Patrick Bet-David (1:16)

They are isolating them economically like this, never before. You know right now the score barrels out of the strait, US., about 1.1 billion, Iran, here it is zero. Go for it.

SPEAKER_4 (1:27)

They are isolating them economically like this, never happened before.

Right now, the score turns the barrels out of the strait, US., about 1.1 billion, Iran, zero. For the first time in history, since they started pumping oil, they will have no oil on the water this week. They will have no revenues.

Patrick Bet-David (1:54)

Okay, so when you see this, and you're asking a question of what could happen, if all of a sudden we wake up, Iran has agreed regime change, let's just say that happens, and US is building a base at Karg Island. Hypothetically, I'm just-

Adam (2:09)

In the next 30 days?

Patrick Bet-David (2:10)

If I'm saying in the next announcement, not that they're going to build it, like they announced they're building a military base in Poland, but it's going to take till 2030 to build. Well, that's a major statement you're making against who?

Russia. And you're making for who? Ukraine, the EU, NATO, all that, right? Okay, if all of a sudden we get an announcement that US has taken over Karg Island, Iran has agreed to not enrich uranium, Iran's agreed to not have any nuclear weapons, and XYZ, if that announcement is made, gas prices drop, economy skyrockets, interest rates come down from 7.5% today to 5.75, 90 days before election time, now you're talking a different story.

Adam (2:53)

You're talking 2028?

Patrick Bet-David (2:54)

I'm going 28 November.

Adam (2:55)

Yeah, because everything's built in.

SPEAKER_6 (2:57)

Midterm is midterm. We're 30 days out.

Patrick Bet-David (2:58)

Look, I mean, Charles Barkley was the other day on Chris Cuomo, I don't know if you have this clip or not, and he says, you know, a lot of people are thinking blue and Democrats are gonna do this. I don't know about that. I don't know, he called that Kamala, he called that everybody. I don't know who.

Adam (3:10)

He's saying some stupid.

Patrick Bet-David (3:11)

Yeah, watch this, go ahead.

SPEAKER_6 (3:13)

Listen, I'm an independent who's voted Democratic once in a time. You think that I'm gonna get on TV and kill my credibility and say every Democratic. Like some of these people out here talking about no ice, no prison, using words like socialism, like no, I don't believe in that. Wait, wait, no cops? I think that's some of the stupid shit I've ever heard. Well, what are we gonna do without cops?

What are we gonna do without prisons? Like, I've seen some of these politicians, I like, this is the stupidest shit ever. And a lot of, most of them, well, let me take pride, all of them have been Democrats. I think that's some of the stupidest shit I ever heard. Now, ICE has to do a much better job, much better job.

We need that, we need a...

Patrick Bet-David (4:05)

You can pause it right now. So, sensible guys like Bill Maher, okay, Barclay, some of these other guys are calling out the BS that's happening on that side. Midterms, whatever happens with midterms, it's not looking good for Republicans as of right now, even with Trump going in campaigning, okay? Even with Trump going in and helping you out. But I will tell you, going into 28, if things all of a sudden change, Bessent closes, politics is like this. Ready?
