2302 Iran Fall Out, C9 and Much More

0:00America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us. Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead. Learn how at americacures.com. Paid for by Farma.

1:23Good morning, everyone. Lots going on as usual. Today is Sunday, March 22nd, 2026. And I'm just trying to start. There we go. The interface was being a bit weird today. And it looks like my sound was a little loud, but it's not. It's everything's okay. So, Francis Whittosons in Calgary. And there's a whole bunch of activists who are pushing her physically and pushing her figuratively as well, trying to intimidate her out of doing what she's doing. And good for her for standing up for herself and for the truth. And she says the city of Calgary must not engage in telling falsehoods. And this is engaging in telling falsehoods. And there are a whole bunch of people who are calling her a white supremacist, all sorts of stuff. And that certainly isn't true. And it's one of those things that invalidates that smear. It's one of those things when it's said as casually as it has been framed and said recently, it loses all of its teeth. Like, what are you talking about? That's not an argument. So, it's very interesting to watch.

2:26And we've got video, I've got video of that. C9 looks like it's going to pass. Garnet genius is trying or Genesis is trying to do something to derail it. But he's just telling the liberals what they already know. And he's saying, he's saying it in a bad way. And the liberals are saying, well, you know, it got our bill through. So we won. And so, right? Like, sometimes the stats don't matter. You can have nine minutes time on attack to your opponent's two minutes time on attack. And if your opponent has a goal, they're winning, right? And we don't have any goals. We haven't scored any goals in a while. And the liberals keep stacking up censorship laws because they hate us. It's blasphemy laws by another by another route. 48 hour clock running in Iran. Trump says, you better open up the straight of hormones Iran or I'm going to rain hellfire down on your electricity plants. I think that's what he threatened. And people were saying, Oh, now civilian targets are on are on the menu. Thanks Trump. Like, you've definitely you've blown this. But civilian targets are what the straight of hormones is about. That's that's what's going on. So,

3:29and I'm not saying that, well, who knows how this thing rolls out. It looks like there's going to be people other countries countries from in the region, not China coming in to help with the straight of hormones and opening that whole thing up. So it'll be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. I don't know. I don't know if Trump's going to bomb the the power stations or not, but that's the threat that's on the table and the count or the clock is ticking. And Iran and oil and fertilizer. Oh, my it's not just oil. And we're going to we'll talk about the fallout of Iran. It's it's the fertilizer. And again, the other day, I was saying, what about Alberta? What about Saskatchewan? What about all of the Canada has a lot of this stuff? Why this is a disaster? Oh, no. And we should be profiting off of this terrible disaster because we have the products people want. And we could get them there. Maybe we could put them on a train and start sending them there. It would be a good idea to start selling our product. Why don't we sell our product? What's going on? It doesn't make any sense, right? So potash is in high demand and people are saying this is a crisis. We need the potash now. And nobody from what I understand nobody has called Canada to say,

4:34do you know anybody who's got any potash? Like nobody's done this. So it seems weird. It seems like an obvious fix. But hey, here we are. And we're just not going to do it. So lots to get to. Let's get to it. First, Gunther is talking about we're doing Iran first because that's the I think this is the biggest story in the world right now. And we've got to be kept up to speed on it. Gunther says President Trump just declared total victory in Iran. That's four times four times or three times the charm. I think three was yesterday total victory now total victory total victory. We've won the war is over all but you know cleaning up in that straight of hormones and things. Okay, but there's a twist and we'll get to the twist in the next in the next tab. But first Trump says the United States has blown Iran off the map. And yet their lightweight analyst David Sanger says they that I haven't met my own goals. Yes, I have and weeks ahead of schedule. Their leadership has gone. They're Navy and Air Force are dead. They have absolutely no defense and they want to make a deal. I don't. We are weeks ahead of schedule just like they're incompetent election coverage of me. The failing New York Times always gets it wrong. President

5:35Trump. And so here is the twist. Yesterday Iran fired a missile at Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is an island by like by the Shago Islands. I guess part of the Shago Islands. I guess the like it's an island chain. The Shago Islands and Diego Garcia has got a military base and American British military base shared military base. And so in response to everything going on, Iran proved that it has medium range, 4,000 kilometer intercontinental missiles. I don't I'm using the wrong term. Intermediate range. That's it. Ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia. So this happened yesterday. After Trump says we've beat them. Victory. I'm just going to fly this plane and land on this aircraft carrier. Victory batter. Victory four times. Victory. They're launching missiles. Is it a victory yet? Are we sure, sir? Should we really be saying that this is a victory right now? Didn't all the other presidents do that too? And they were wrong

6:39about all that. Anyway, OSI and T technical says Iran fired a pair of intermediate range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight and one and another was engaged by US Navy destroyer using an SM three missile. And Melissa says Iran just proved it has operational intermediate range ballistic missiles with 4,000 to 4,500 range. A kilometer range far beyond its acknowledged official 2,000 kilometer cap. First direct strike on US, UK assets outside of the Middle East was Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed. One intercepted probably a retaliatory strike for Starmer allowing Americans to use the British bases for strikes to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran now credibly threatens central Europe to not just the Gulf. And so that's interesting. Victory. This is a victory. Everybody. This is a victory. London is 3,875 kilometers away. Paris is 36

7:40kilometers away. Berlin, less than 3,000. Rome, 2800. Amsterdam, 3500. So still in range. Brussels, 3500. Vienna, 2600. Warsaw, 2500. Moscow, 2000. Istanbul, 1500. Athens, Greece, 1900. Stockholm, 3000. And so all of these are in range of the missiles that Iran used to target Diego Garcia. That's interesting. That's interesting because they weren't supposed to have that. So Trump then says this is 7.44 PM yesterday. I think I think this happened before 7.44 PM. Let's look 10.27 PM. I think this still I still think this happened before before 7 PM. Anyway, here is Trump. He says if Iran doesn't fully open without threat, the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants starting with the biggest one. First, thank you for your attention to this matter, President Trump. So there you go. We will we will hit those power stations. There you go.

8:47And Mario says a coalition of 22 nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and European allies just stepped in to secure the Strait of Hormuz. They released a joint statement saying that they're ready to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. Why this matters when this when this many countries align at once, especially when it includes golf nations, it's a sign that Iran's days of blocking the Strait are numbered because of shipping isn't safe. Everything down stream starts breaking. So yep, this is going to be a bump absolutely, but I think that it seems like they're going to unclog this and everything's going to go back to normal again, right? And are we going to see a $60 dollar per barrel of oil gas and like related costs and things? Probably. In 2008, the oil went up to a dollar 40 a liter. I remember I remember thinking because it was like 81 to 99 cents and that was expensive. Sometimes it was a buck 10, I think, but we hadn't seen really a big break from a dollar 10 and in

9:482008 it went to a dollar 40 and I and the place that I worked started paying more per kilometer if you had to drive people with your own private car. And so and a lot of places started doing that and it was a whole it was a whole thing. People were like, this gas is too expensive. This is crazy talk. And I thought it'll never come down and it did come down. It came down pretty quickly actually and I was shocked when it was back to 99 cents a liter. I was like, wow, like that really that really was just a bubble. Like that really was just not manufactured, but I think manufactured kind of, right? And they had good excuses. Oh, the financial meltdown and this and that and this and that. But there's always a fight. There's always an excuse. There's always something like that. I don't think that our the United States oil has been disrupted and yet we're responding to world markets as if it's domestic. Glenn is responding to Trump. Trump says if our so-called NATO, okay, Trump never posted this on true social. All right, so we'll just move on from that one. Shank says, Anselam says 23 nations just signed a joint statement condemning Israel's closure

10:50of the straight-of-war news. Excuse me, Iran's closure of the straight-of-war news and pledging readiness to ensure safe passage. The United States is not one of them. China is not one of them. The country fighting the war and the country most dependent on the straight are both absent from a document that exists because of one and was written for the other. The statement was issued through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and co-signed by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Romania, Bahrain, and Lithuania. It condemns the strongest terms Iran's attack on unarmed commercial vessels, attacks on civilian oil and gas installations, mind-laying drones, and missile strikes on shipping and the de facto closure of the straight. It demands Iran cease immediately and comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817, adopted March 11th with 13 in favor in favor and China and Russia abstaining. I don't know that the United Nations can make these kind of demands. You have to have teeth

11:52to back it up and the United States is the teeth. Are the teeth? The timing is not coincidental. Trump told the world on March 21st that America does not use the Strait of Hormuz and that Europe, Korea, Japan, and China will have to get involved within 48 hours. 22 of those countries signed a document saying they are ready. The 23rd country, Trump named the one that imports more than 70 percent of its crude oil through the strait, did not sign. China's absence from the statement is louder than every signature on it. Read what the 23 nations actually pledged. They expressed readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts and ensure safe passage. They welcomed the IDE decision to authorize a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. They committed to working with producing nations to increase output. They promised to support the most effective nations through the United Nations and international financial institutions. What they did not pledge is a single warship, a single escort vessel, a single mine countermeasure deployment, or a single sailor. The world readiness appears where the world deployment does not. This is the diplomatic architecture of burden sharing without burden bearing. Japan's constitutional

12:55constraints prevent collective military action in the Gulf. South Korea's domestic politics make naval deployment toxic. Europe's navies are configured for the Baltic and the Mediterranean. The nations that signed this statement depend on the Strait for 20 to 90 percent of their oil imports. They condemned Iran's closure of it. They expressed readiness to help reopen it. They did not say how. That's a problem. It will be interesting to see how this whole thing works out. Zineb says, my assessment, the IRGC has entered full survival mode. They don't see it as just too late. It can no longer deter the United States, which is precisely what it was testing through its posturing around the Strait of Hormuz. Trump committed fully, he's all in, and the IRGC has calculated that strikes on oil infrastructure would provoke a sort of backlash, severe enough to constrain U.S. or Israeli action. It didn't work. They are now buying time. The deeper problem is the IRGC has not grasped what buying time actually costs at this stage. A negotiated arrangement with Trump is no longer on the table. He wants

13:59a different Iran, not an adjusted one. The moment the IRGC fully internalized that, it will find itself squeezed from all directions at once. The domestic fractions that have tolerated the current leadership did so on the assumption it could eventually deliver some form of economic relief, not happening. The rival has lost something, or the real, the currency has lost something like 90% of its value, and the stupidity they did today to save the RIA just tells you all you need to know. The major players got killed. If they stop now, we'll get protests in circling them tomorrow. They have no good options. Interesting. Klandestine says, whatever Trump's master plan as it revolves around global trade, he's securing global maritime shipping routes, especially strategic choke points, the Panama Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, Arctic shipping routes, Greenland and Canada combined that with tariffs. It's all about trade. I think there's something to that. Certainly, I think that that's insightful. This guy is talking about how wars end, and I'll let him say it. Here we go. There's enough evidence to see how things are really going. With Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near around,

15:02unless they thought the tide was turning, and they think that we're going to win. Otherwise, they would keep still. The reason that the Pepeo nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind, and they're very attuned to the climate. When you have Al Jazeera praising the United States bombing campaign and saying that it's been underestimated, and it's brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but it can and will finish the job. Then when you start to see tactical aircraft like warthogs and Apache, that means that they're offering almost ground and sea support to hit targets. There's nothing. There's no defense at all. When you have that type of aircraft flying at will in the Iranian airspace, so you put it all together, and I think it's pretty clear that this Robodope strategy that they have that we're going to tire before they are is dependent on just public opinion, the midterms in the United States, and Trump

16:06sees it through, and I think he will. I think they're going to fall pretty soon. So there you go. So this guy is an expert on how wars ended and so on and so forth. I can't remember his name. Victor Davis Hanson, and so he's long in the tooth of analyzing this stuff, and he says, and I saw yesterday somebody talking about, I'm just on X, and I don't remember who they were, but they were talking about how use of these planes show how desperate the United States is, and they're putting these planes in danger, and they're slow, and they're low flying, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. I couldn't help but kind of infer what David Hanson was saying that that seems like they're winning bigly. That seems like if they're willing to put those into the theater, then they don't have any concern about countermeasures. If these low flying slow planes are operating totally unimpeded in the Iranian airspace, then they've got air supremacy, and that's a big deal, or it used to be a big deal before drones. Shadow of Ezra says, Benjamin Netanyahu had to suddenly cancel his plans at CPAC and was

17:10replaced by his son, Yar Netanyahu, in Hungary. So I'm sure he's fine. I'm sure I'm sure he's fine. He's maybe got a couple extra fingers or whatever, you know, they flash in and whatever, but it's fine. Everything's fine. Don't worry about it. Beebees is just just good. Top notch. I have no worry that AI video and or a person in a mask has replaced them. Why would I? Exactly. This, I mean, I don't worry about it. It's just one of those things that seems like, huh, they could do that if they wanted to, I think, probably, based on the masks that I've seen and the AI that I've seen. I saw a very, very convincing, who is it? Huckabee, the Israeli ambassador for the United States and Netanyahu walking down a hallway, and then they broke into some kind of dance and then Huckabee turned into a monster or something like that and started like, you know, tearing up the place. And I thought, wow, things have really gone crazy. I definitely didn't think it was AI. It's convincing until they turned into monsters. Anyway, Vanessa says only three weeks into the war. So this is Fallout for the Iranian war

18:10and then I've got to say goodbye to the stream. I should say goodbye to the stream now, but this is Fallout. I just wanted I want you to see what's happening because it's happening all over the world. And I think it's just an excuse because I think that any excuse to raise the gas prices and say, oh, yeah, it's a red man's for sure, definitely. Australia might have a plausible explanation, but Canada should be building refineries now, right now. Vanessa says three weeks into the war in Australia is running out of fuel. 107 petrol stations across New South Wales have run out of diesel and entire town in Victoria has run dry. A report written in 2013 warned this would happen, word for word. Every government for 25 years chose to ignore the obvious. This should be a wake-up call for our politicians. Ha. Is it even going to be a wake-up call for the citizens? I doubt it. $1.62 or £1.62 per liter in the United Kingdom. Peter says thanks for the war, Lads, and he's being sarcastic, but could have been worse. Really. Jack says if all of Europe was held under Iran's thumb because they had intercontinental missiles and they bombed a couple of European capitals, that would be that would send oil real high. And then people around the backfoot,

19:14people around the defensive trying to figure out how to start being, start fighting from the center of the ring again. John says Metro Vancouver gas prices for Saturday, March 22nd, 209, nine for a liter of regular at first and the NIMO in East Vancouver. So there you go. And that's interesting. That's notable, right? Here is this guy and he's talking about he's a UN guy, maybe. He's a international energy agency is behind him. And Frickin says the head of the international energy agency drops a terrifying bombshell. This energy crisis is much bigger than the 1970s oil shocks and the Ukrainian war combined. It's not just oil and gas. It's fertilizers and petrochemicals are facing major problems. And so again, I wonder has anybody called Scott Mo on the on the red phone to, you know, tell him we need potash and we need it now. Scott, start getting people to package up potash. It's going to be Canada's number one export this year because of the straight to Haru's and get it out there quick because we got to do planting. But this guy's, there's

20:15no solutions here. There's no solutions. We can't do anything at all about this. Next question. With VIMO stash, I talk on one hand and ordering a ride in the other means you're stacking cash back. With VIMO stash, get up to 5% cash back when you pick a bundle of your favorite brands.

Protein is now at Starbucks and it's never tasted so good. You can add protein, cold foam to your favorite drink or try one of our new protein lattes or matcha. Try it today at Starbucks. It is much bigger than what we had in the 1970s, the oil price shocks. It is also bigger than the the natural gas price shock we have experienced after the Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is not only oil and gas, fertilizers, petrochemicals. These are all facing major problems. It could change again, but in the space of just three weeks, this war has posed challenges to

21:20the fortunes of businesses, households and governments that no one was prepared for. Doshini David, BBC News. While we've been de-industrializing for decades now, no one was prepared for, where's all the green technology? How come the green technology is not using this as an opportunity to replace all the petro and gas? Because it can't. That's why. There is no green technology. It's a fantasy and it seems like it's money laundering now. Green technology. Ozzy Dad says a Western Australian farmer has taken to Facebook out of desperation to find diesel so he can plant food for the country. The cities have fuel while farmers can't plant crops to feed the masses. Yikes. We are in a bind here. Here is Ron. He says, we have learned one true thing from the last four weeks. Oil and gas still matter. All the gas lighting about the end of carbon-based energy that renewables will take over the world and turn out to be at her BS. The use of fossil fuels has actually grown every year. Wake up, Canada and see the truth. Yeah, we have a difficult time with that. With that, I've got to see

22:21goodbye to the stream. Thanks for watching, everybody. If you want the whole show, head over to CanadaPoly.com. We're going to do a kitchen table talk today as well, so we'll see you guys at one and I'll send an email out, I hope, yesterday last week. I forgot, I think, right until the last minute. But yeah, I will see you at one. And for everybody else, we will carry on as soon as they kill the stream here. Do do do. Done and done. And oh no, a Middle Eastern grocery store.
