Chris MartensonGUEST
Well, I was, you know, it's interesting.
Chris MartensonGUEST
We had a lot of concerns in the first month because roughly a third of the world's exported helium coming out of the separating plant that was happening in the South Pars field on the north side for Qatar.
Chris MartensonGUEST
So that wasn't happening, you know, and it turns out you can't just store helium for long because it has a bad habit of just leaking out of, you know.
Chris MartensonGUEST
um, whatever vessel you have it in.

I was advocating back in April that what we actually should do is we should bomb their oil refineries on Kharg Island, bomb South Pars, destroy their capacity to pump and refine, and then say to the Saudis, UAE, Bahrain, and Israel, "You guys have oversight now.
Ben ShapiroSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Enjoy." That's what I thought was the solution.
Clint RussellHOST
I'm sorry, I should have warned you before playing a Shapiro clip, but this is how I actually analyze things, and take it with a grain of salt.

speaker_13SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, um [audience applauding] had, had we bombed their oil fields, wouldn't they have bombed the UAE, Saudi Arabia, all their energy too? Then, uh-
CornHOST
If you're going to do it, the rescue pig should carry magnets and a transmitter so you can at least find it from the surface.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The South Pars one is the story though.
CornHOST
It's the best documented recovery I've seen.
CornHOST
A hundred and twelve kilometer line, four inch diameter offshore in the South Pars gas field.
CornHOST
They were running a flooding, cleaning, and gauging operation, and by two days into it, no pigs had come out the other end.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
How much water had they put in by then?
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
Proven reserves can be explained rather simply by this.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
Perhaps the one geographical advantage the nation possesses, the North Field, sitting squarely within its exclusive economic zone.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
But the fact that Qatar's producing at the level of the US and more than countries like Iran and Russia, all of which orders of magnitude larger than Qatar, is a testament to vision.
Sam DenbyNARRATOR
Beginning in the 1990s under the leadership of Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
Ben ShapiroHOST
I think the MOU was a mistake back in April.

speaker_11AUDIENCE
Yeah, um, [clapping] ha-had we bombed their oil fields, wouldn't they have bombed the UAE, Saudi Arabia, all their energy too?
speaker_0HOST
Qatar is essentially a massive natural gas corporation masquerading as a country.
speaker_0HOST
They sit on the North Field, which they share with Iran, who calls it South Pass.
speaker_0HOST
It is the single largest natural gas field in the world.
speaker_0HOST
Qatar is one of the top exporters of liquified natural gas on the planet.
Matt GaetzHOST
Take a listen.
Ben ShapiroSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The president has it within his capacity to essentially finish the Iranian economy with a single bombing sortie over Kharg Island or South Pars.
Ben ShapiroSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The, the biggest thing I think that is the obstacle right now to just completing that victory is, is, it's just a matter of decision-making.
Matt GaetzHOST
Oh my gosh.
Jay MartinHOST
But now look at what's happened to everybody else's energy production in 2026.
Jay MartinHOST
On March 18th, Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field.
Jay MartinHOST
Iran answered by firing missiles at Ras Laffan in Qatar, one of the largest natural gas export sites on earth.
Jay MartinHOST
The strikes knocked out about 17% of Qatar's export capacity and repairs are going to take years.
Jay MartinHOST
It was militias in Iraq that hit Saudi Arabia.
Jay MartinHOST
But who started the fight? It was America that started the war with Iran on February 28th.
Jay MartinHOST
But it was Israel who struck Iran's South Pars gas fields on March 18th.
Jay MartinHOST
And that is the strike that led Iran to then hit Qatar.
Ben ShapiroSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
and roll it, Bill.

The biggest thing, I think, that is the obstacle right now to just completing that victory is it's just a matter of decision making.
Ben ShapiroSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Does the president actually believe that a deal is on the table or does he not? I'm very skeptical the Iranians are ever going to put a worthwhile deal on the table.
