35
President Obama said that there would be a stalemate for up to a year, and the U .S is preparing for an extended conflict.
36
But you keep saying it's going to end soon.
37
Well, we could end it very quickly.
38
But Iran is a failing nation.
39
And we're taking all the oil out that we want.
40
You see that with the Homo Strait, our Navy.
41
And we have it blocked up for them and nobody else
42
and everybody's taking oil out uh in fact last week
43
we took more oil out than we have ever taken it out even before the war
44
so that was that was the big that was the big sticking point
45
so we have that and they have inflation and they have no money
46
and you know the question is do we want to finish it off
47
or do we let it do we just want to let it wither
48
because we're getting everything
49
we want to see we have more oil coming out of
50
the hormone straight today than they did a year ago Mr. President, if there is gridlock for the next two years,
51
obviously you don't want to see that.
52
But if there is, would that be bad for the U .S economy?
53
No, it would be probably good because we're taking a tremendous...
54
Don't forget, when you say gridlock, you're talking about Iran?
55
I'm talking about gridlock in terms of your legislative agenda.
56
Oh, that.
57
Let's talk about gridlock with Iran.
58
Iran is not able to do much now.
59
And we could, if we wanted to, just take all of the oil.
60
We could take the whole country.
61
we could take all of the oil and as you know the hormone straight is totally ours
62
and that's the way we'll keep it so in that way
63
that would be the gridlocks very interesting because they have no money
64
and they have inflation that's 301 that's the highest in the world right now
65
so we'll see uh as far as uh you're talking about
66
if the republicans didn't win right just political gridlock well i think the republicans are going to win
67
but if there was as you call it good luck what happens is i veto everything
68
and then the democrats come and they want to make a deal
69
so i mean if you look historically when you have a situation where that would happen
70
if it happened you veto veto veto and then they come
71
and they say how do we get it done
72
and you make a deal i haven't heard that but i'll look at it did you speak with the british prime minister
73
Can you tell us what you've discussed and why that's going to happen?
74
The President, we discussed the fact that they're opening up the North Sea oil, and that's going to make the U .K a very rich country.
75
They're opening up the North Sea oil.
76
We discussed.
77
I've been after them to do that for two years.
78
The other Prime Minister, the previous man in Starmer, who's a very nice man, but he never got it done.
79
And this is what he's getting at.
80
Andy is getting it done.
81
And I guess it's against the liberal principle, but he knows what's right it's going to make
82
it's going to make the uk a very wealthy country you just got iran
83
or ukraine we did very very lightly we mostly discussed aberdeen
84
and the north sea
85
and could you just talk about the trade talks with mexico president steinbaum hope
86
there might be a deal before the bill
87
we're very close to a deal with mexico it'll be a very good deal for hopefully them
88
but it's going to be a good deal for us
89
so we won't make
90
it uh the same thing with canada canada is working very hard to make a deal with us
91
and i hate to say this
92
but we have all the cards in both of us
93
you want we have all the cards just like i told zielinski we have all the cards
94
The President, on the run of Suami, adds, sir, Republicans like Ashley Hinson, who you were with last night in Iowa, are now sticking to ads.
95

96
Look, this is a mother that went on the air to say that her daughter, who's running for governor of the great state of Ohio,
97
that I wanted a record all three times.
98
I got the record vote, the highest vote ever.
99
So I know it well.
100
I love the people a mother is saying don't put my daughter there
101
because she's a terrible person and she's a liar why shouldn't somebody use
102
that but do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you sir
103
wait wait wait wait slow down who you is who you is one of the worst networks you have
104
But there are very serious sexual abuse allegations.
105
Quiet.
106
They make no difference to you?
107
You're a fresh person.
108
You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
109
If my mother said bad things about me, do you think the Democrats would put it up?
110
I think so.
111
But my mother thought I was wonderful.
112
Thank you, Mom.
113
My mother would never, even if she thought that, she would never say.
114

123
He's approved.
124
He's been a loser all his life.
125

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
