Today's podcast is really great. Why is no one talking about the fact that oil and gas prices are decreasing? This morning, it was at $80 a barrel. How is that possible if the war is going so horribly? What is happening? Well, everybody is talking about how the president said yesterday, I just love inflation. That's what you probably heard if you had listened to anybody in the mainstream media. No, that's not what he said. You have to listen to the whole thing, and it explains in an unbelievable reveal what the president and the military have been doing about the oil in the Strait of Hormuz. It is incredible. You have to listen to that and I'll tell you why I think he said it yesterday. Also, defending the vote with guns?
Wait, what? Maybe not. I'm going to give you some history on how that has happened before and then give you the solution.
Save America Act. We'll give you that and the arrogance in LA and how little they care about the homeless and their birthright to vote. What is actually happening with the left and the vote in LA? All of that and more. This is the Best Of Podcast.
Feeling young isn't about how many candles are on your birthday cake. It's not whether you can still fit in the same jeans you wore 20 years ago. It's all about possibility. When you're younger, you don't spend a lot of time thinking about whether you can do something or not. You just do it. And as you get older, that pain comes along. That changes everything. That's why I'm such a believer in a relief factor. It's 100% drug-free supplement designed to help support a healthy inflammatory response, addressing pain at its source rather than just covering it up. And more than a million people have tried relief factor, and two thirds of them have gone on to order more. The real goal is not to turn back the clock, but to get back some of the possibilities. Spend less time wondering whether you can do something, and more time just doing it. As America celebrates their 250 years of independence, give yourself a chance to reclaim yours. To commemorate, they're offering a special patriotic price of $17.76. 1776, you can pursue your happiness pain-free. Three-week quick start for 1776

Okay, so this is one of the stories that are bigger than the headlines. If Trump's claim is substantially true, and I don't have any reason to doubt it, then what he revealed yesterday was not just a military operation. He revealed the United States has quietly been preventing the largest oil shock in modern history. I'm gonna explain what happened here in a second, but remember, before the war, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day were moving through the Strait of Hormuz. That narrow stretch of water is one of the most important choke points on Earth, and one-fifth of the world's petroleum passes through it. Easiest way to understand the Strait of Hormuz is this. Imagine the world's energy supply is blood flowing through arteries. The Strait of Hormuz is the aorta. You can survive a cut on your arm, you cannot survive a severed aorta.
When Iran began attacking shipping and laying mines, the fear was not just that the ships would be damaged, the fear was that the world's energy system would seize up. Gas prices would spike, which they did, but not what they were predicting. Airline fuel would spike, it did, but not what they were expecting. Same with diesel. Food prices, same.
Everything delivered by truck would become more expensive, and it did, but they were warning about absolute, I mean, like a death knell kind of shock. They were warning about $150, $200 a barrel on oil prices. They said it could go over $200 a barrel. This system is not built for anything over 130, or really over 130 in sustained oil. Okay, what happened? Well, it never exploded the way they feared. Yet everybody was freaking out, okay, because you are paying more, and it is hard to pay the price that you're paying at the gas pump and for groceries. Yesterday, Donald Trump said this about inflation. Now let me play first what you heard on social media and on most media outlets. This is what he said about inflation.
