Strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) serve as critical economic buffers during energy crises, with the United States having released approximately 40% of its SPR to help stabilize global oil prices around $75-79 per barrel, while European nations face significantly higher gasoline costs (approximately $10 per gallon) due to environmental taxes, creating potential economic instability that could trigger global economic catastrophe if Europe experiences widespread unrest.

Iran ALREADY Broke the Deal?! Disturbing New IRGC Audio Leaked.
Added:We're going to Jason. Let me play this audio for you first. This audio has just been released. It is starting to go viral on the internet about 40 minutes ago.
Um, I want you to listen to it and Jason, if you will give us the translation. Go ahead.
This is in Farsi.
And this is just this was just heard um in the Strait of Hormuz and we now have verification it is coming from the IRGC.
What are they saying here, Jason?
>> So, the New York Post has as you were just talking about has has verified that this is coming from maritime radio channels from the IRGC.
And what it says is quote, "Since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon and the complete lifting of the naval blockade and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States.
The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these two conditions are met. All ships are ordered not to approach the Strait for their own safety and health.
Any vessel that defies this order will be targeted." End quote.
>> Now, how is Trump going to respond to this?
Uh, I have to tell you if indeed it is what the New York Post is now saying, it it is coming from the IRGC, he has no choice. He has absolutely no choice but to bomb the snot out of the IRGC.
He has to.
Um, that is not what this agreement says and um, you know, before the before the ink is even on the paper, they're in violation.
And by the way, this whole thing about Israel, you know, Israel was responding.
They didn't just go out and kill a bunch of people in Lebanon. They were responding to Hezbollah killing four of their soldiers. So, the mainstream media is not going to tell you any of this. I don't know why other than I think honestly they would rather have the Islamist win.
Their their their hatred for Donald Trump I mean, you want to talk about the ends justify the means. They will keep news from you. They will spin news. They will lie to you because it doesn't matter. Nothing matters except discrediting and destroying Donald Trump. That's how sick this is gotten. I mean, I can understand you don't like him, but when you are when you are propping up Hezbollah [snorts] just because you can't have Donald Trump win, I mean, you're you've lost your mind. You really should be committed into an asylum. You have You have crossed the line. Your insanity has gotten dangerous.
Um and by the way, [snorts] I'm not saying that we should put these people in mental institutions. I think they should recognize and people we need to start being We need to start being very clear. This is a mental illness.
And I don't want mental institutions. I don't want camps. I don't want all of the things the left is saying that they will do to people like me if they got in charge. I don't want any of that. But we have to stop lying to ourselves and saying this is just politics. It's not politics.
There This is serious mental illness.
Um and and it's got to stop. It's got to stop.
Um so, what does the president do?
Jason, what do you think? How is he going to respond?
>> It's a good question.
He's done everything in his power as of the past few months to, you know, quiet hostilities and get them to the negotiating table. I really don't know how you do that when it is very clear that Iran is trying to get additional concessions in this deal. And what's what's amazing on this is you know, you should today with this example, you should be getting multiple exposés from the mainstream media talking about just who Hezbollah is. Why are these attacks happening?
Because they usually just frame it as oh well, you know, Israel's attacking Lebanon. Well, they're attacking Hezbollah. Hezbollah chiefs, Hezbollah operatives, Hezbollah troops. But who is Hezbollah?
>> that have to do with Iran?
>> They that >> What does that have to do with Iran?
>> Iran is outing themselves on what they really want to do and what they'll continue to do. Hezbollah is Iran. Iran is is calling the shots and pulling the trigger here. That's what everyone should be talking about. They're doing this to themselves and outing themselves at the same time.
It's clear what I would do if I was president, but I mean, I'm not a diplomat, so.
>> Well, I don't have the information that Donald Trump has. I don't know what his grand strategy is.
I do know this. Oil is down to $80 a barrel.
Um that is remarkably good.
Um I do know that he is very concerned about an economic collapse, especially in Europe.
Um and that is a real concern. I have to tell you. You you I just want you to think.
What would your life be like if you paid $10 a gallon for gasoline today?
How would you make it? How would your life change? Would you be Would you be traveling anywhere, you know, to for 4th of July fireworks?
Would you be doing any vacations? How would you keep food on the table just because of $10 a gallon gasoline? How much would your food be in inflated cost because of just the trucking and the diesel fuel?
That's the reality in Europe. They are paying $10 a gallon gasoline. And now, that is easily fixed, but they're they're not going to do it um because there's a $5 a gallon gas tax, and that tax is for global warming.
How the people are not in full-fledged revolution over there, I don't know.
But, you have you have $5 a gallon gas tax that the government is just continuing to go on because this is far too important. Donald Trump knows, and I was just there.
This is economic collapse. You can this There is no way the West can survive with $10 a gallon gasoline. It just can't. And so, that's one of the things, and he's thinking about the American uh first, but he is also taking into consideration they're going down twice as fast in Europe because of their gas tax. And, you know, it's one thing to say, "To hell with Europe. Let them."
No, no, no.
We we we cannot lose Europe. We cannot have them go. It it will it will trigger a uh uh economic catastrophe all over the world uh if that should happen. So, he's balancing that now as well, Jason.
>> What you're talking about is is one of the restrictions the president has in doing all of this, especially with the price of gas, price of oil. And I don't know, I mean, part of this could have been just to help the global community rebuild back up some of their oil reserves because I think one of the reasons why we haven't seen just massive crazy gas prices is because multiple nations, including us, have been dipping into their strategic petroleum reserves.
The president just said a couple of days ago in his press conference, did you hear when he said that we had about 4 weeks left?
4 weeks left till we hit basically bottom of tanks on our strategic petroleum reserves. There was There's been talk that 40% of the SPRs that oil that we have released in, you know, from just hours, 40% looks like it has been pushed out to the rest of the world to help drive down the price of oil.
Now, if we only have 4 weeks left, what does France have? What does the UK [snorts] have?
>> Oh, nothing. Nothing.
Um I'm just looking uh what's uh is the current price of oil. Let me just look this up real quick.
What is the market doing on oil? Do you have any of the numbers sitting in front of you either Ricky or Jason as I'm looking >> WTI this morning was around 79. Let me look at it right now.
>> It was It was approximately $76 overnight. Recent quote show trading around $75, $75.87.
Uh Brent crude oil is $79. So, um I mean, that's that's that's remarkable.
Does anybody have any Can you just look on uh Bloomberg or anything what it is trading if this is This is just coming out, so we may not know anything yet. We may not see anything. Traders are usually up to speed on this, um but you know, what a surprise. I told you. I told you.
Let's not get excited this week about, you know, let's Why are we arguing about what the deal is, you know? It We've been doing this all summer long. Hey, it's Friday. We're going to be close to a deal. Well, hey, what a surprise. It's Friday, and the deal is fallen apart.
But, they're going to tell you, "No, no, no. We still have, you know, we still have the weekend. Maybe we'll have a deal." I mean, we we really have to stop arguing about all this stuff because we'll know the deal. I mean, for anybody who was like, "That's not a good deal for us." Well, we told you yesterday they will expose themselves.
You know, if if they truly are the 12ers that I think they are, Donald Trump is just going to have to take them out one at a time.
Um you know, we're not going to put boots on the ground, and I don't want boots on the ground. But, he's just going to have to keep taking their leadership out one after another after another.
You know, I don't want regime change, but the world can't live like this.
You had You had a deal on the table, and it was pretty good for them.
What is that signal? What does that tell you now?
If they If they can't accept that deal that you didn't like, America didn't like, if they couldn't accept that deal, then all they care about is hastening the return of the promised one. They are um apocalyptic in their views. They They They are end-times kind of people.
And you can't deal with the IRGC. You can't You cannot negotiate with people like this.
Look at all of the time and money that has been spent. Look at all of the hassle. Look at all the arguments. Look at all of the Look at Look at at the carbon footprint that we have spent flying back and forth trying to put a peace deal together.
For what?
Can't deal with these people. They're absolutely out of their mind nuts.
