During the broadcast Terry Martin played a clip and cited statistics about tanker flows, saying "Something like 63% or more of the Iranian money comes from them getting oil going through the Strait Of Hormuz." A Fox News excerpt that the hosts aired said roughly "80 percent or more" of tankers go to China and that much shipping is headed east.
The hosts warned of short-term global economic disruption from a U.S. seal or blockade of the strait but presented these effects as tolerable in pursuit of longer-term strategic aims. The program did not provide independent sourcing for the percentages cited.
