The Joe Rogan Experience · #2526 - JD Vance · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

To the extent you shut it down, you shut down 25% of the world's energy supply, okay?

Joe, you could take $100,000 and go buy a bunch of drones on the black market and post yourself on an island in the Strait of Hormuz or near it, and you could fire drones at those ships, okay?

Now, what does that mean?

Some oil and gas is still going to get out because some ships and some ship captains are going to say, screw you.

Now, the United States can help that, right?

We can shoot down some of those drones.

We can shoot down some of those missiles.

And so we can facilitate the flow of traffic.

But the people who are like, you cannot negotiate with the Iranians, the reason why that's fundamentally idiotic is because so long as you have –

some person who's willing to fire off a few cheap drones, you're going to have some ship captains who say, no, no, no, we're not willing to do this.

So we got to kind of use all tools at our disposal.

The military is one tool, but diplomacy is another tool.

And I'm very frustrated by the Americans and frankly, by people in other countries who are like, you cannot negotiate with the Iranians.

Well, then what is your proposal to get people to stop shooting at ships in the Strait of Hormuz?

You can bomb them.

You can take away their radar.

You can take away some of their drones and some of their missiles.

But it's just too easy to fire at ships in the straits.

So you've got to actually be willing to talk and to try to figure out the problem.

I think that their proposal is to bomb and bomb and bomb.
