BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): The blockade, by the way, has been working. Ships have been turning around. It's been wild. Chinese ships have been turned back. Meanwhile, American oil has been flowing at a higher rate than ever in American history. The Gulf of America is packed right now. Hey, Danny, can you give me the real time — can you give me the real time tracking for the Gulf of America ships? You sent it into production yesterday. I thought it was pretty awesome. You can track all the — you can track the maritime — the maritime ships. Very cool. But ships have been turned around. These are, of course, ships that were trying to do deals with Iran. Iran is now begging.
And we called the White House this morning. And what did I — what was I told by the White House this morning? They said watch this space in the next 48 hours, that we've finally broken Iran, and that they are going to sue for peace. They're going — there's going to be a peace deal in the next 48 hours. That's what I was told from a very reliable source.
So watch the space. It's officially over. Obviously, wars are fought until one side exhausts the other. It's really just like an exhaustion. Well, it's the same thing with UFC. Same thing with wrestling. You exhaust your opponent, you tactically suffocate them, and this is what's going on. President Trump from this morning. The war is over. Here we go.
