Whoa, Byron really shreds this CNN host.
on the world market is because the Iranian regime, once again, a theocratic dictatorship, is wanting to force a straight close because they would rather foment terror and have nuclear weapons and they want to put pressure on the West through oil prices.That's why gas prices are high.That's not because of economic policy in the United States.That's because of the Iranian regime's death grip on power.That's a very different situation than the one you want to talk about.You just said what I just said.
The Iranians shut down the Strait of Hormuz.Why did they do that?They shut it down because they are trying to inflict economic pain on the rest of the world because they would rather have a nuclear weapon.They would rather put those nuclear weapons on the tips of their ballistic missile systems, which, by the way, they lied to the world.Those ballistic missile systems can go 4 ,000 kilometers, reaching our allies in Europe.reaching American bases overseas, and they are so hell -bent on having that, they would rather inflict pain on the world when it comes to oil prices.
I don't want to see high oil prices.
No question.Iran wants to inflict pain.
Let's be very clear.The false lies with the Iranian regime, not with the President of the United States.
You can make that argument, but let me follow up on that.It's not an argument.
It is an empirical fact.It is not an argument.
It is also a fact that the U .S.and Israel launched the war, and then the Strait of Hormuz became an issue.So President Trump was asked about this.and said, as you're negotiating, should you factor in, is it weighing on you, Americans' financial situation, such as the gas prices?And he said, quote, I don't think about Americans' financial situation.
He later doubled down on that comment, calling it a, quote, perfect statement.I'd make it again.Do you agree with that?
to rise oil prices on the world because they're using it as an economic weapon against the people of America and quite frankly, the people of Europe as well.So when he's having to negotiate, he's got to play hardball with people who do not care about your rights, who do not care about your fundamental liberties, who only care about a radical, theocratic, Sharia law driven regime that does not care about women.does not care about anybody else except what they feel that they want.And so when you're dealing with somebody like that, you got to play hardball.You can't do model you in negotiations because that's how you get beat at the negotiating table.
Two, two and two.Way to go, Byron.
