little texas heat going on it's all about him so listen you guys are like instead of the Harlem heat, y'all are the Texas heat. Are you big heat and he's a little heat? How does that work? Exactly. Of course, he's not that little. We're both pretty big. So we both got big heat. Well, I wouldn't call you pretty big. Let's go with extra medium. We are excited to be with you here today. As we used to say, I want a medium shirt, just put a large tag on it. I like that. Make my arms look good. I used to resemble that remark about eighth grade. Hey, let's talk a little bit about what's going on in the world today. I'm pretty excited because last, or I guess a couple of weeks ago, we had our very first guests. We've got not one but two guests today and we're going to be talking about something near and dear to wrestling fans hearts. We're going to be talking about wrestling collectibles. But before we get there, I do want to briefly talk about, you know, what's going on. Last week you gave us some insight as to best practices when America was at war, like what to consider and what not to consider with the financial markets. Of course, over the weekend, I think there was a lot of panic about the price of oil and gas, but it feels like that's on the move even right now. What are you seeing now and what do you expect, John? Yeah, last week I was talking about the fact the straight of war moves, which is about a 24 mile wide, 21 to 24 mile wide

2:01.2

straight there. You know, there's not like, you can't really close it. There's not like a door there. It's just where the choke point of the Persian Gulf. It's where 20% of the oil of the world flows through. And Iran is always threatened in any type of conflict to shut down the Strait of or moves. Easier said than done. America said that we may take over the straight of or

2:20.5

moves. Easier said than done.

2:18.2

America said that we may take over the Strait of Ormoos.

2:21.3

Easier said than done.

2:22.7

They've been planning mines in it.

2:24.2

They actually did hit a cargo freighter.

2:26.1

Here's the problem.

2:27.3

President Trump said that they were going to escort ships through the Strait of Ormoose,

2:30.8

which is a great idea.

2:31.6

We're also going to back insurance companies that will send oil takers through the Strait of Hormuz, which is a great idea. We're also going to back insurance companies

2:34.6

that will send oil takers through the Strait of Hormuz. Another good idea. Here's the problem.

2:41.5

It's not working. And the reason it's not working is if you're a company and you're a CEO,

2:47.0

forget about the fact that this oil is insured. You have real people's lives on this ship. You're not a general. You're not a colonel. You're not in war. You're sending people through something that is potentially dangerous, even though you'll have a guest, that carrier that is going through there to escort you through the Strait of our moves. If something happens, your career is tarnished for the rest of your life.

3:08.7
