| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.3 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm Steve Schmidt with the warning, |
| 0:13.5 | joined by Ken Harbaugh of the Ken Harbaugh show |
| 0:17.4 | here at the Save America movement |

| 2:02.9 | We talked about the Iranian ability to control the Strait of Hormuz. |
