Donald Trump, Iran Negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz
Donald Trump claims Iranian negotiators offered a significant "gift" related to oil and gas as the regime nears military defeat. Reports indicate the U.S. is deploying 5,000 additional troops to the region, potentially to secure Karg Island or the Iranian coastline. Speculation suggests the gift involves eight to ten oil tankers sailing under Pakistani flags to bypass blockades in the Strait of Hormuz.

00:00 Those guys are a great unit. the Trump algo and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six, In The Morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern San Francisco Bay refinery row waiting for free oil! I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh man, oh man. I love how you were saying on Sunday show like Trump's got to do something like three seconds later he's like okay everything's good we're talking we got a thing happening and we know the algo we know it was like okay yes am
01:01 And then it'll be something horrible and he's gonna threaten again. We didn't even get to do a show in the meantime while his algo ran. Two or three iterations of this system took place between shows I think you have a 3x3, just want to play one clip This is how our president plays the art of The Deal and when you just look at it You can just listen to the report, it's like okay yeah well we know what to expect. We turn out of the war with Iran in The Oval Office today President Trump told our senior White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe that Iranian negotiators have offered the United States what the president described as an expensive gift here's Ed with the details
01:44 Even as Iran launched missiles towards Israel and other Gulf nations today. We're in negotiations right now President Trump claimed the regime is so near defeat it has no choice but to negotiate an end to the war we killed all their leadership And then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them, and now we have a new group. We have really Regime change you know this is a change in the regime what makes you trust them? I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you. Why do you say, what makes you... Do you think i trust them? And why bother talking to them? Because they're gonna make a deal They did something yesterday that was amazing actually They gave us a present and the present arrived today It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money
02:33 And I'm not going to tell you what that present is. The president would only say that present had to do with oil and gas and the strain of hormones, a major shipping route that remains blocked. Average gas prices have risen for 24 consecutive days now nearing $4 a gallon nationwide but even as the two countries are negotiating indirectly the US is sending 5,000 troops to the region on top of the more than 50,000 already deployed. Those troops could be ordered to take Karg Island, a key oil shipping depot or deploy on the Iranian coastline to help secure this trade. It seems so obvious like you know we're gonna bomb them and then oh well they sent me a present
03:12 And then, you know I don't know who's talking. Hey these are the guys they must be the guys! Just before the show he said the present was eight maybe ten full tankers of oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz with Pakistani flags Yes yeah that's uh that's the general consensus from everybody That's what he said Yeah sounds right i don't know how big of a gift that is Well, it's free oil. Free money! For who though? Who is it free for? I don't know...I have no idea where those tankers are going. We'll see what the tankers are doing. Yeah, I got a 3x3. Alright hold on a second.
