How Much Longer Can Mitch McConnell Keep the Truth from Us? | 8/10/26

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
This year, America celebrates its 250th birthday. Two and a half centuries, Americans have worked hard. We've built a life. We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours. That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream. All it takes is publicly available information, a Ford signature, and some paperwork filed in the right place. Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it, you worked hard to build equity in, is actually yours.
That's why I want you to know about Home Title Lock. They provide 24-7 title monitoring. They will send you an urgent alert if something suspicious appears on the title, and they have a 100 percent fraud restoration success rate.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:41)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:42)
To celebrate America's 250, Home Title Lock is offering 25 percent off for the two years of the home title fraud protection. That's $100 in savings and peace of mind, plus a free title history report. So go to hometitlelock.com, promo code Beck25. hometitlelock.com, promo code Beck25.

With Pat and Jeffy this week. Great to have you with us. Thanks for joining us.
Iran's making some interesting claims, and the president had some interesting things to say about it to Axios yesterday. We'll get into that and lots more in 60 seconds. You know, there's a strange thing that happens when the cost of living goes up. You start looking for little places to save money while some of the biggest expenses in your life are sitting there untouched. You cancel a subscription, buy the cheaper groceries, maybe put off a purchase for another month. But meanwhile, those credit cards are still charging you 20% interest.
If you own your home, American financing wants you to look at the bigger number. The equity you built in your home may give you a way to consolidate that high interest credit card debt and dramatically reduce what you're obligated to pay every month. In fact, American financing borrowers save an average of $800 a month. And there are zero upfront fees. You may even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments. And timing matters because rates are currently in the fives with a strong chance they could move higher in September. There are zero upfront fees. You may even be able to delay up to two month mortgage payments. Lock in your lower rate before September. Call today 800-906-2440.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:51)
How about no?

**Pat Gray** (3:53)
I'm just no. That's not even worth entertaining because it includes compensation for war damage. No.
It also includes that they will charge fees. Everybody will admit, I guess, that they charge fees for your passage through the Strait of Hormuz after the war is over. No.
And on and on. I mean, it's a ridiculous list of demands. The president didn't really react very strongly to it. He said yesterday he's prepared to allow economic pressure on Iran to mount, as opposed to ordering a new military offensive. Even as the country continues to defy the United States, only a week ago, President Trump was on the verge of ordering a return to major combat operations, but in an interview with Axios, he didn't make any new military threats. He also didn't express any anger or frustration about the fact that Iran has been holding up an announcement on a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. And on Saturday, they gave their list of demands. President Trump, though, said, we're low-keying it.
Wow. We're only semi-negotiating with them. We're just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. He stressed that Iran is in very bad shape economically and has no money to pay its troops. The US. Naval blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regime's economic crisis, he said. At the same time, President Trump said that the oil, that with oil down to slightly over $75 a barrel, the US consumers are feeling less pain from the war.

**SPEAKER_5** (5:45)
Are they?

**Pat Gray** (5:46)
I don't know about that.

**SPEAKER_5** (5:47)
Are they?

**Pat Gray** (5:48)
He said, it'll work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game.
