| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:22.0 | I'm Tim Miller of the Bullwark. Here with my buddy Jonathan Vlas, author of the Triad Newsletters. You can get at the Borg.com. We are live right now Sunday, March 8th at 630 central time. Yeah. Look, JBL is eating dinner. Is that the stock market? No. Is that the stock market going up? That is not the stock market going up. |
| 0:24.7 | No. That is my 401k going up. That is crude oil. That is not |
| 0:26.8 | your 401k going up. That is the |
| 0:28.9 | price of crude oil |
| 0:30.2 | by barrel, which has |
| 0:32.7 | an impact on gas price, you might imagine. |
| 0:34.9 | Anyway, we are sitting around. |
| 0:36.7 | JVLs have a dinner and I text |
| 0:38.0 | him, like, have you seen the, have you seen the gas futures? Is the only one gas futures yet? |
| 0:42.8 | He hadn't. And I was like, it's like, I mean, I've never seen a chart like it. It's like |
| 0:48.4 | a full erection. It's like a full tent in one second. The future is open for tomorrow. And we've gone from what, what is that? Like 70 or something? 70, 80. My eyes are struggling. No, 90. No, like 90. Yeah, 90 all the way up over 100 piqued around 111 now. We're settling down around 106. We'll explain to you guys why that matters and what those numbers mean if you're not, you know, a futures trader. But at the top level, JVL, it seems like the street, the market, the investors, not thrilled with the fallout from the Iran war. I should mention also Dow futures are down about 2% right now, just a little under 2% as we're talking right now. So, well, that's good. A little man, this seems pretty bad. Trump has responded to that. You know this is bad because Trump has already sent a panic bleed about it. But before we get to that, oh, well, let's do that. We'll show Trump and then we'll let JVL give him his opening words. |
| 1:48.6 | Short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of Iran nuclear threat is over. |
| 1:53.6 | Are we sure about that? |
| 1:54.4 | It's a very small price to pay for USA and world safety and peace. |
| 1:59.5 | Only fools will think differently. |
| 2:02.4 | Call me a fool, JVL. |
| 2:04.6 | What do you think? |
| 2:06.1 | We'll go back to the oil price thing. |
| 2:08.4 | I want kind of a ticker up so we can all watch it together. |
| 2:11.3 | You know, just sort of watch the money go out of our pockets together |
| 2:14.5 | as the prices sort of pop up and down here. |
