The Adam Mockler Show - Trump VISIBLY PANICS after HIS TERM BLOWS UP

Starting point is 00:00:00 All right. The president of the United States just sent out a desperate post asking for oil prices to stay down. Never in Joe Biden's four years in the White House that he sent out anything so desperate, unhinged, and just displaying a fundamental lack of understanding of how things work. I'll read this in one second, but this warning comes just days after U.S. airstrikes hit three Iranian nuclear facilities. It was an aggressive escalation in the ongoing conflict that was supposed to be contained between Iran and Israel in the Middle East, but Donald Trump decides to unnecessarily put U.S. lives at risk, U.S. troops at risk, by approving this and allowing it to happen. Now, Iran's parliament, off the back of that, voted to approve a proposal that could lead

Starting point is 00:00:48 to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The final decision rests with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, so we don't know yet, but this threat is being taken very seriously by global markets. If you look at crude oil markets, you look at anything, you can see the price skyrocketing, and Donald Trump is panicking. Yashar Ali says oil prices are up over 20% in the past month, largely due to the ongoing escalations. And Donald Trump decides to just beg on true social. I mean, dude, conservatives convinced themselves that Joe Biden had a gas button, a gas price button on his desk that he was like flipping up and down, like a lever or whatever. And Trump actually bought that. Trump thinks that if he just

Starting point is 00:01:30 types on truth social, keep oil prices down, that'll work. What the hell are you talking about? So after oil prices spike 20% in the past month due to this escalation, Trump tweeted out this morning, to the Department of Energy, drill, baby, drill. And I mean now,

Starting point is 00:01:46 no shot. He's desperate. We have been drilling at the highest rates out of any country ever under Biden. And then he says, everyone, keep oil prices down. I'm watching. You're playing. right into the hands of the enemy. Don't do it. Trump actually convinced himself that the president has unilateral control over oil prices. What he doesn't realize is that he may have just screwed

Starting point is 00:02:11 himself. Just to back up, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, which is what they're threatening, it would arguably be one of the most critical things to happen thus far. It would be the most critical thing to happen this decade. If Iran successfully closed the Strait of Hormuz, they would be choking off one of the most critical oil points in the world. Roughly 20% of all global oil shipments go through there. 20 million barrels per day flow through a narrow waterway. So blocking it could send oil prices soaring to $120, $150. It could very well double in gas prices would spike to $5, $7 per gallon, therefore nuking Trump's presidency. Donald Trump's presidency. Trump is desperately begging because his presidency is hanging on by a thread.

Starting point is 00:03:03 The fun and games of striking Iran would lead to a disastrous economic meltdown. This would have profound consequences, not just for consumers at the pump, but for overall inflation, for supply chains, and for global economic stability. Iran has made similar threats in the past, but they've never fully closed it, largely because Iran itself depends on the same route for its oil exports. So it would basically be like murder suicide. It's like if they want to do it, they have to kill themselves, too. So we don't know if they're actually going to execute on this.

Starting point is 00:03:35 But the current escalation introduces a new level of unpredictability in crude oil prices are skyrocketing. They are skyrocketing. Think about what would happen to Donald Trump's approval rating. This would be the effect. There's a lot of corruption going on in the government that many people aren't paying attention to. But if prices begin to skyrocket, not only at the pump, but oil prices, would also increase food prices, prices of everything would skyrocket, people would then begin to hyperfocus on the politics of the current administration.

Starting point is 00:04:06 And as the economy is melting down, as inflation skyrockets and wars break out, people would be wondering who's getting rich while all of this is happening. Then they look at the Trump admin and they see, wait a minute, Trump created a crypto coin named Trump coin. Melania has something called Melania coin. There's barren coin. Everybody has a crypto coin in the Trump family. They are cashing in on that while the American people are suffering.

Starting point is 00:04:29 So Donald Trump's true social posts, the multiple that he sent out are very, very clearly a panicked attempt at like pressuring energy markets. He's trying to publicly pressure oil producers to hold prices steady, even if it affects them. And the same way that he tries to publicly intimidate Jerome Powell, that's not how it works, buddy. You can't just intimidate Jerome Powell. You can't just intimidate oil producers. It maybe works with Columbia University, but it's not going to work with Harvard. But I don't know, in this statement, I think there's a lot of vulnerability in Trump's, not voice, but in his typing.

Starting point is 00:05:05 You can see the economic vulnerability. With inflation already being a key political issue over the past, what, five years, and that was Trump's key political issue, a sustained spike in gas prices or inflation as a whole could ripple through the broader economy and just reshape the political landscape. So James Carville had a theory a few months back that if Democrats kind of just chilled out and didn't play their hand, that Republicans would zoom off of a cliff. And honestly, this could happen. The bigger picture here is that there's a dangerous interplay between military escalation, energy markets, and the health of our economy. And when Trump took this gamble, he could have just entirely blown up his presidency.

Starting point is 00:05:47 The strikes on Iran may have been aimed to destabilize Iran in particular, but they may have also opened the door. or to a destabilizing energy crisis that would only hurt Donald Trump. So we're going to have to continue pushing. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, if it does happen, would not only disrupt oil and gas flows, but it would just reshift the way that United States politics works because it proves that Donald Trump has no clue what he's doing. So we'll continue to watch and see if oil markets settle,

Starting point is 00:06:19 if they continue to spike. A lot hinges on Iran's next move. if they retaliate against U.S. troops in the Middle East? Will they close the Strait of Hormuz? And how far will the Trump admin go in this confrontation to prove a point? The situation still remains fluid, and markets are nervous because of the fluidity. This reads, it wasn't clear who specifically Trump was speaking to in his post, though he was likely addressing the U.S. oil industry.

Starting point is 00:06:45 Some oil companies had warned earlier in the year that they might have to cut production after prices tumbled to multi-year lows on Trump's tariffs and OPEC plus boosting supply. Quote, to the Department of Energy, drill baby drill, and I mean now, Trump said, in a subsequent post. This reads above U.S. crude oil was down 75 cents to 7309 in the wake of Trump's post.
