00:00Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Asheville, Western North Carolina.
00:07They're taking them very seriously.
00:09If you look back what the Iranian political leadership has said over the past 10 days,
00:15they're in shock at the state of their economy.
00:18And we're seeing gas lines.
00:21Could you imagine a country in the world with the third largest amount of energy resources
00:26has to import gasolines?
00:28And they now have three, four-hour gas lines that go through the night.
00:32So I would think that they are lashing out kinetically because they are losing economically.
00:37And I want to thank the European Union for their very fulsome support for Operation Economic Outcasts.
00:45They made it known today in the strongest terms that they support it.
00:49Is there a time frame on it?
00:50No, it's that we have the blockade, and we are going to continue exerting pressure.
00:58And we've had very good discussions here already.
01:02And, you know, I think it could be within weeks or months.
01:07And the economy doesn't have to collapse.
01:10It just, we just have to have the regime come to their senses.
01:17Our goal here today is to reiterate that our message of growth, the world is awash in debt,
01:27post-GFC, post-COVID.
01:29And the only way for us to get out of this is to grow our way out of this.
01:34And, you know, I'm confident that a lot of the leaders are very receptive to this.
